Sherlock..........Who?

The Final Problem Part Four

(The words of Eurus' song appear in front of his eyes. Two verses side by side read

I that am lost, oh who will find me?
Deep down below the old beech tree
Help succour me now the east winds blow
Sixteen by six, brother, and under we go!

Without your love, he'll be gone before
Save pity for strangers, show love the door.
My soul seek the shade of my willow's bloom
Inside, brother mine -
Let Death make a room.

Two further verses are underneath but in much smaller print. According to , who may have a better quality recording than me, they read

Be not afraid to walk in the shade
Save one, save all, come try!
My steps - five by seven
Life is closer to Heaven
Look down, with dark gaze, from on high.

Before he was gone - right back over my (h)ill
Who now will find him?
Why, nobody will
Doom shall I bring to him, I that am queen
Lost forever, nine by nineteen.

SHERLOCK: Let's number the words of the song.

(The row of numbers whooshes away and individual numbers appear above each word in the four verses. Sherlock screws his eyes shut. The words and their accompanying numbers start to roll round in his mind.)

SHERLOCK: Then rearrange the numbered words to match the sequence on the gravestones.

(The words and numbers spin around in front of him, some of them stopping briefly in front of his eyes before spinning on. The sequences which stop read

1 3 4
I am lost

17 19
Help me

28
brother

Sherlock's head snaps up and he opens his eyes with a gasp. He looks at the verses and the numbered words in front of him and the majority of the letters and their accompanying numbers shatter and the fragments fall away to the ground. He breathes heavily, looking at the remaining words floating in the air, then reaches out and starts swiping each word out of the air in the correct order, saying each word as he removes it.)

SHERLOCK: I ... am ... lost ... Help ... me ... brother ... Save ... My ... Life ... Before ... my ... Doom.

(He continues swiping the words away.)

SHERLOCK: I ... am ... Lost ... Without ... your ... love ... Save ... My ... soul ... seek ... my ... room.

(He stops dead on the last word, staring up as the last three phrases float in front of him, the most prominent being the final three words,"Seek my room". He looks past them towards the house.)

SHERLOCK (in a whisper, wide-eyed): Oh God.

(Grabbing the lantern he races back towards the house. In the well, John and Jenny stares upwards as the water continues to rise. In the plane, the girl cries out panic-stricken.)

GIRL: We're going to crash! I'm going to die!

(She screams.John grunts with effort, his arms under the water and apparently tugging at the chains around his feet. Jenny's cloths full socked throw the water rising higher and higher up to her mouth Sherlock races through the gateway beside the house, runs round the side to the front and then bursts through the front door, then runs up the stairs.)

SHERLOCK: I think it's time you told me your real name.

GIRL (on the plane): I'm not allowed to tell my name to strangers.

(Sherlock reaches a closed door on the landing and stops in front of it.)

SHERLOCK (quietly): But I'm not a stranger, am I?
