Synopsis[]
Sherlock Holmes is well aware that Irene Adler is going to deal directly with the real Lord of Crime. Despite his reservations, he sees her off as he has no better plan. Irene negotiates with the Lord of Crime in an abandoned church and prepares to turn over the stolen documents as they originally agreed. However, Sherlock arrives to ensure Irene's safety.
Summary[]
With his face hidden from view, Albert meets with Irene in order to recover the stolen documents. However, Sherlock appears and stops their transaction. Sherlock reveals that he has deduced that only the Lord of Crime could keep Irene safe from the government. To prove his intention of keeping Irene safe, Albert asks Irene to write down his real name, seal it within an envelope before passing it to Sherlock. It serves as insurance should Irene perish.
Albert takes Irene to William and she realizes the Lord of Crime is an organization. Albert brings Irene along to a meeting with Mycroft and admits he's fascinated with the revelation about Maximilien Robespierre turning out to actually be a secret British agent. Albert states that he has been exposing corruption since young, and William and Louis reveal themselves from their hiding place and confirms that together, they are the Lord of Crime.
The scandalous nature of the documents needs to remain hidden. Mycroft reluctantly allows William to continue reforming society. Mycroft also admits that one of the reasons the documents exist is because Robespierre's real name was actually Sherrinford Holmes, which is also why he is loyal to the British government.
Sherlock goes home to find Watson and Miss Hudson crying, and receives the news that Irene is found dead. However, just moments before, Holmes was visited by Irene, which is how he know that her death was faked. He burns the envelope from Irene without looking at the name inside and Irene goes on living under a new identity, James Bonde.
