Plot

"You make an effort to appear conventional, but I know, Watson, you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the humdrum routine of ordinary life."

— Holmes

A group of masked thieves are seen breaking into a vault and robbing it of jewelery. (♫ Minutes til Midnight - Medicate or Stimulate ♫) As Watson prepares for her morning jog, the doorbell rings. Going to answer it, she meets a half-dressed woman and then turning the corner, she runs into another woman who looks just like the first. Holmes emerges from his bedroom and starts to explain the relationship he has with twins Gwen and Olivia Lynch which Watson is not interested in hearing. The caller is Micah Erlich, head of Casterly Rock Security whose supposedly impregnable bank vault, "The Leviathan" was breached a year before. The four brilliant criminals were all caught and jailed but Erlich tells Holmes the vault at the Svalbard Diamond Exchange was robbed the night before. He'd like Holmes to quietly find out how the vault was breached and if the four jailed criminals had another member who wasn't caught.

Guess I should go get dressed.

Holmes is confident he can complete the job in a few hours. He meets the floor manager, David Batonvert, but after examining the scene and testing for flaws, he admits he'll need more time. Watson arrives and after working through the night, Holmes wakes Watson at 2:00am. She accuses him of obsessive behaviour and points out she needs to leave to prepare for brunch with her mother. Holmes agrees but smashes the vault's panel with an axe on his way out. At the Brownstone, Holmes studies details of the first heist and concludes that one of the members sold the secret. Watson meets her mother for brunch who informs her that her brother Oren and his girlfriend are in town and they'll be having dinner that evening. Joan reminds her mother that she can't come while working as a companion. Mary decries Joan's job but she's interrupted by a call from Holmes asking her to meet him at Sing Sing.

I can sometimes disappear into the rabbit hole of my psyche.

They meet Charles Briggs, who was the locksmith on the heist. He indicates that each team member was segregated and only the heist's mastermind, Carter Averill, knew the secret but he died in prison. Before Averill died, he was offered money for the secret by a man only known as "Le Chevalier" who is rumored to have stolen many priceless items. Outside, Watson believes Briggs is lying but Holmes examines Le Chevalier's career and believes he is Peter Kent. Kent is art patron who was present when Van Gogh's "Pieta" was stolen after its unveiling at a museum. Holmes and Watson visit Kent's upscale home and while waiting for him, they admire the expensive paintings. A cheap print of Pieta seems out of place and following a hunch, Holmes cuts into the print and finds the real Pieta underneath. Kent's son arrives and Holmes accuses his father of being Le Chevalier and of robbing the Svalbard's. He denies knowing anything and shows him Peter Kent who is paralyzed from a stroke years before.

I give you Van Gogh's Pieta.

They leave with Kent's stolen items which Holmes convinces Watson they should give to the police without revealing who stole them. Watson forsees them having to explain this in court which gives Holmes an idea, Averill was tried in court and the proceedings may hold a clue. At the 11th Precinct, they give the items to Captain Gregson who knows they were looking into Le Chevalier but doesn't ask further. Holmes leaves with Pieta in a tube which he lies to Gregson is just something he picked up for his place. At the Brownstone, Watson is appalled to see Holmes hanging Pieta but he insists he's only borrowing it to inspire him. Watson receives a call from Oren who is excited to see her and her client at dinner. Watson didn't send the text but says they'll be there and then turns on Holmes. He confesses how easy it was to break into her phone and says he feels a relapse coming on which forces Watson to be with him.

Tell me you'll be there.

The next morning, Holmes wakes Watson and gives her a timetable to get ready so they can examine a piece of evidence from Averill's trial. The evidence is a coffee order with the heist member's names on it. What attracted Holmes' attention though is that the jury asked to see it three times and there is a sequence of random characters on the back. Holmes recognizes the characters as Malboge, an obscure programming language. He also discovers one of the jurors, Justin Guthrie, was a software engineer. On their way to Guthrie's, Holmes receives a text from a contact in London who translated the Malboge as the formula for pi. Holmes deduces the Leviathan uses sequences of pi for its access code. Once known, the vault can be cracked. Arriving at Guthrie's, a police officer informs them Guthrie is dead, having jumped out his window.

Why are we going to the property clerk's office?

Once Gregson and Detective Bell arrive, Holmes points out a spot of blood on the floor and three glass vases partly filled with multicolored decorative rocks. (♫ Robert Schumann - Of Foreign Lands and People ♫) He empties one out and picks out an uncut diamond. Guthrie was part of the team that robbed Svelbard's and it appears he was killed and his cut of diamonds were taken. Watson reminds Holmes of their dinner but he begs off to work on the case which Watson agrees to, relieved. Watson arrives at the restaurant and is surprised to find Holmes already there. He's been regaling her family with stories of how Joan helped him on various cases and that she's a promising detective. He also lauds her work as a sober companion which impresses Mary. In a taxi on their way home, Watson thanks Holmes for making her family understand what she does. Holmes browses through Guthrie's phone (which he lifted from the crime scene) and finds the names of three other jurors.

002 The Leviathan episode still of Mary Watson, Oren Watson, Gabrielle Harper, Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson

She also went to the trouble of saving my life.

At 3:00 am, that morning, Holmes wakes Watson by blasting music. (♫ Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No.9 ♫) He explains he's solved the case and has identified the heist members who were all on Averill's jury including the sister of Svalbard's floor manager, David Batonvert. Each had the skills required but it wasn't until Guthrie decoded the Malboge that they decided to form a new heist team. All that remains is finding which of the remaining three killed Guthrie. The entire jury is called to the precinct but one, Alex Wilson, doesn't show. Holmes sees Jermey Lopez has a bruised face and is large enough to have thrown Guthrie out the window but is surprised when Lopez agrees to provide a DNA sample as do the other jurors. Bell reports they've found Wilson's address but when they arrive at the scene, Holmes finds Wilson's body under his stairs. Wilson's been dead for days so he couldn't have killed Guthrie.

One of them is killing the others to keep the proceeds.

Returning to the precinct, a DNA match for the blood from Guthrie's apartment has been found, an Army Chaplain named Audrey Higuera. Holmes is baffled as she doesn't appear to have any connection with the case. A search of Higuera's home reveals she's serving in Afghanistan, and volunteers for numerous charities. Watson finds she was a bone marrow donor which intrigues Holmes who asks Gregson to bring Lopez back to the precinct. In "the box", Gregson asks Lopez to provide a blood sample which he refuses. Holmes asks Lopez if he had leukemia and tells him that those that receive bone marrow transplants will produce DNA of their donors, in Lopez's case, the DNA of Higuera. Lopez knew his saliva sample wouldn't match the blood DNA found at Guthrie's murder scene. Lopez starts to leave but Gregson shows him a court order for his blood and suggests that if he gives information leading to the arrest of the remaining heist member, he may get parole before he dies.

We just didn't want to deny ourselves the pleasure of watching you squirm.

That evening, Watson pours champagne down the drain, a gift from Casterly Rock. The doorbell rings and Holmes lets Mary Watson in. Speaking in private with Joan, Mary says that she has never made a secret of her disapproval of Joan's new career but she noticed a spark in Joan that she hasn't seen since her days as a surgeon. She suggests that Joan likes what Holmes does but she Joan demurs. Mary asks if continuing as a sober companion will make her happy and points out that people find their path in all sorts of ways. Before she can reply, Holmes walks in and turns on the TV, saying he knows they will want to see what's on. The news reports the "anonymous" return of Van Gogh's masterpiece Pieta to the Aster Museum. (♫ Rolling Stones - Shine a Light ♫) Joan smiles knowingly at Holmes.

Yes okay, I enjoy it. But I'm not a detective, Mom.

Music

Minutes til Midnight - Medicate or Stimulate plays at episode beginning.
Robert Schumann - Of Foreign Lands and People is played by Holmes on piano.
Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No.9 plays on the stereo when Holmes is basking on the couch.
Rolling Stones - Shine a Light plays at episode end.

Trivia

Gwen is wearing Holmes' t-shirt that he was wearing when he first met Watson. ("Pilot")
The company that made The Leviathan is called Casterly Rock Security. This is a reference to the TV show and book series Game of Thrones.
Holmes' quote "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" first appeared in Conan Doyle's The Sign of the Four. Part of it is used as the title of Season Six episode 21 "Whatever Remains, However Improbable".
The scene with Joan and Mary Watson was shot at Red Chopstick in Flushing, Queens, New York.^[1]
The Malbolge language in the episode is almost the real thing. The message on the coffee order is nearly the same code written in the Hello World! program on the Wikipedia article on Malbolge.
Joan's brother is named Oren as a homage to Lucy Lui's character in Kill Bill, named O-Ren Ishii.^[2]
Over dinner, Oren makes reference to the CIO of Canon Ebersole who had a secretary who killed five people. ("The Rat Race")
As Holmes plays the piano, his hands are naked but when he stops, he's wearing gloves.

Quotes

She practices quite a unique specialty, your daughter. She rebuilds lives from the ground up. You can measure her success in careers restored. In my case, criminals caught and in lives saved.

-|text=Holmes scoffs, saying that if one group of thieves could figure out how to defeat the Leviathan, then so could another. To prove it, he has Erlich escort him to the Diamond Exchange, predicting that it will only take him an hour or two to figure out how the thieves broke in. Once confronted with the safe, however, Holmes is stymied: while any semi-competent gang of thieves could defeat the rudimentary security features leading to the vault, and a clever one could even photograph and duplicate the key used to open it, the door is protected by a ten-digit access code, created by a random number generator that changes the code every two minutes. The only person who has the code is the Exchange's owner, who has it on a key fob. Since the owner is abroad in Switzerland, and has never let the fob out of his sight, the thieves didn't get it from him. Holmes admits he will need a little time with this one.
 }}
-Seventeen hours later, Holmes is still seated on the floor, staring at the vault room door. Watson, who arrived hours ago, has fallen asleep. Holmes rousts her awake and assures her that he will figure it out, given a little more time. She reminds him that it is 2:00am, and she needs to get home to get ready for brunch with [[Mary Watson|her mother]]. Sherlock agrees, asking her to wait while he tries just one more idea: smashing open an emergency box and hacking at the instrument panel with a fire axe. Naturally, this fails to open the vault.

To Sherlock, the solution is simple: one of the original four thieves (of which three are still living) must have sold their secret to a third party. Watson points out that this hypothesis rests on the assumption that, since Sherlock couldn't figure out how to open the vault, then no one other than the original four thieves could have either.

-Joan meets her mother for brunch, who invites her to dinner with Joan's brother, [[Oren Watson|Oren]] and his girlfriend, but Joan says she can't while she is on a companion job. Her mother begins to express her disapproval of Joan's new occupation, but they are interrupted by an insistent phone call from Sherlock, who says one of the original four thieves, Charles Briggs, has agreed to meet with them.
-Briggs is a master locksmith, but claims he doesn't know how they defeated the code key to the Leviathan. The mastermind, Carter Averill, did that, and never told the others. However, before he died, Carter told Briggs that someone had contacted him in prison, offering him money for the secret. Briggs doesn't know the man's name, only an alias: ''Le Chevalier''.
-Outside the prison, Watson scoffs, saying that ''Le Chevalier'' might as well be a legend, for all that is known about him, and Briggs is sending them on a "snipe hunt." Holmes is undaunted, reminding her that if ''Le Chevalier'' has never been caught, it can only be because Holmes has never gone looking for him.
-Sure enough, while examining photos of the museum opening when Van Gogh's ''Pieta'' was unveiled, and stolen, on the same night, Holmes notices the museum's benefactor, Peter Kent, wearing cufflinks made from ancient Greek coins, the theft of which was also attributed to ''Le Chevalier''.
-Sherlock and Watson visit Kent's home, where Sherlock notices a lithograph of ''Pieta'' on the wall, alongside several genuine, priceless works of art. Suspecting something, Holmes smashes the glass (to Watson's horror) and cuts through the paper with his butterfly knife, peeling it back to reveal the genuine painting underneath. Peter Kent is ''Le Chevalier''. Peter's son, Alan, runs in, demanding to know what Holmes is doing. Confronted with the stolen artwork, he says he doesn't know anything about his father's past activities, but is positive that he didn't rob the Diamond Exchange two nights earlier. For proof, Alan shows them his father, who had a stroke two years ago and has not spoken or stood on his feet in the last 18 months. Peter Kent may be ''Le Chevalier'', but he did not breach the Leviathan.

-|text=Holmes and Watson walk to the police station, carrying a box of Peter Kent's stolen artifacts. Watson is still reeling over the fact that she rode the New York subway with a diamond-encrusted watch worth about $25 million in her pocket, while Holmes is carrying the ''Pieta'' (worth about $50 million) in a tube under his arm. Holmes says it was the simplest solution for all concerned: they return the stolen items to their rightful owners without naming names, since Holmes has little interest in putting a stroke victim in jail, and Alan Kent doesn't want the world knowing his father was a master thief. Watson says she looks forward to seeing Holmes offering that explanation in court: ''"Yes, Your Honor, we abetted in grand larceny!"''
 }}
-Holmes stops dead, realizing Watson has hit on a vital clue, Carter Averill, the mastermind of the original heist, was tried in court, which means all the details of the crime are public record, and someone may well have figured out the solution to the Leviathan from that. Again, Watson points out that Holmes is only insisting on his "copycat" theory because he can't accept that someone else might have figured out, on their own, how to defeat the Leviathan.
-At the police station, Holmes and Watson return the priceless artifacts to [[Thomas Gregson|Captain Gregson]], who is smart enough to link them with the search for ''Le Chevalier'', but is willing to ask no questions. As Holmes gets up to leave, Gregson points out the tube under Holmes's arm, and Holmes says it is just something he picked up for his apartment.

On the other end, her brother, Oren, says he got her text, accepting their mother's invitation to dinner, and he is so excited to see her and meet her latest client. Watson, cornered, accepts, then hangs up and fumes at Holmes that her phone was locked. Holmes says he may not have been able to defeat the Leviathan yet, but her phone was child's play. She refuses to let Holmes near her family, but he says he feels a "relapse" coming on, and she fumes, knowing that he knows she can't leave him alone when he says that word.
 }}
-At the crack of dawn the next morning, Holmes rousts Watson out of bed, saying she has thirty minutes to breakfast and get dressed, to let them get to the city clerk's office just as it opens: according to the trial transcript, the jury requested to examine one exhibit three times: a slip of paper with the thieves' names on it, which was used as a coffee order. Beyond proving that the four thieves were working together, a slip of paper with their names on it is hardly a "trove of information."
-Examining the paper at the clerk's office, Holmes excitedly recognizes a seemingly random sequence of numbers and letters on the reverse side as a snippet of Malboge, an obscure programming language. Then he looks at the profiles of the jurors, and identifies one, Justin Guthrie, as a former software engineer.
-While on their way to Guthrie's apartment, Holmes receives a text from a consultant friend in London, who has translated the Malboge snippet from the receipt: the formula for ''pi.'' Holmes explains: the thieves hacked into the Leviathan's number generator and used the Malboge to reprogram it to spit out multiples of the number ''pi''. Since ''pi'' is infinite, the numbers generated would still appear random at any given time, when in fact the thieves who knew the algorithm could predict the access code. As incredible as it seems to Watson, Holmes' theory appears correct: some member of the jury who tried the original thieves planned the diamond heist.
-When the arrive at Guthrie's apartment building, they find a uniformed policemen outside, who informs them that Guthrie is dead, having jumped from his apartment window that morning.

She notices him browsing through the contents of Justin Guthrie's cell phone, and he notes that Guthrie listed three people, by their first names only, under his "notes" section instead of in his contact list. Holmes notes that all three names belong to fellow members of the jury Guthrie served on.
 }}
-At 3:00 a.m. that morning, Holmes is lying on the couch, "basking" in the sounds of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, turned up full blast. Watson staggers in from her bedroom and shuts off the stereo. An elated Holmes reveals that he has solved the case.
-The original four thieves were Charles Briggs (a locksmith), Vance Paulson (the inside man), Carter Averill, an all-around genius who cracked the Leviathan's code, and David Retts, an electrical engineer. Then Holmes turns to four members of the jury that tried the thieves: Guthrie, a software engineer; Alex Wilson, an electrical engineer; Jeremy Lopez, a locksmith; and Amelie Widomski, ''nee'' Batonvert, the sister of David Batonvert, the floor manager of the Diamond Exchange. Holmes has identified the four thieves who robbed the Diamond Exchange, theorizing that, during the course of the trial, the four of them must have jokingly realized that they "possessed the same skill set" as the original thieves, but once Guthrie decoded the Malboge on the receipt, ''"things turned serious,"'' and they began planning a heist in earnest. The only mystery, Holmes says, is which of the three remaining thieves - Wilson, Lopez, or Widomski - killed Guthrie.

Holmes is baffled as she doesn't appear to have any connection with the case. A search of Higuera's home reveals she's serving in Afghanistan, and volunteers for numerous charities. Watson finds she was a bone marrow donor which intrigues Holmes who asks Gregson to bring Lopez back to the precinct. In "the box", Gregson asks Lopez to provide a blood sample which he refuses. Holmes asks Lopez if he had leukemia and tells him that those that receive bone marrow transplants will produce DNA of their donors, in Lopez's case, the DNA of Higuera. Lopez knew his saliva sample wouldn't match the blood DNA found at Guthrie's murder scene. Lopez starts to leave but Gregson shows him a court order for his blood and suggests that if he gives information leading to the arrest of the remaining heist member, he may get parole before he dies.
-|text=The surviving jurors are summoned to the police station, except for Wilson, who cannot be found. Right away, Holmes notices that Jeremy Lopez has a bruised face, and, unlike Widomski, is hefty enough to have heaved Guthrie out the window. Captain Gregson informs the jurors that one of their number has been murdered, and he is requesting a DNA swab from each of them. Holmes is surprised when Lopez does not protest, and swabs the inside of his cheek along with everyone else. This seems to rule him out as the killer. Then Bell comes in, saying a policeman in New Jersey has identified Alex Wilson's address. While Bell knocks on the door of Wilson's apartment, Holmes and Watson are swatting at flies buzzing around the doorstep. There is no answer, and Holmes grimly notes that the flies are coffin flies, drawn to rotting corpses. Wilson's dead body is found underneath a refuse heap, suffocated by a plastic bag over his head. Given the advanced decay of the body, Wilson has been dead for at least two days, and could not have killed Guthrie.

-|text=Returning to the police station, Holmes, Watson and Bell are informed that they have a DNA match for the blood from Guthrie's apartment: an Army Chaplain named Audrey Higuera.  Holmes, baffled, asks what her connection with the jury was, and Gregson reports that, as far as they can tell, she has none.
-}}
-As the police enter Higuera's home with a search warrant, Holmes refuses to believe the evidence; Higuera simply "doesn't fit."  Watson reminds him of his own maxim, "when you've eliminated the impossible..."  Higuera's home is empty, and photos show her to be a devoted Chaplain, currently posted overseas in Afghanistan, and an enthusiastic volunteer at the local hospital.  Again, Holmes says she doesn't fit, but then Watson notices a "thank you" badge on Higuera's table that she recognizes from her days at the hospital - given to bone marrow donors.
-Jeremy Lopez is called back to the police station, and politely asks what more he can do, since he already gave up his DNA.  Holmes points out that, according to his medical records, Lopez recovered from cancer two years earlier, thanks to a bone marrow transplant from Higuera.  These transplants can cause some confusion with DNA testing, since the blood produced by the marrow will bear the same DNA as the donor's, while the DNA in Lopez' hair and saliva will be entirely his own. Holmes predicts that a test of Jeremy Lopez' blood will match Higuera's, and thus match the blood from Guthrie's apartment. Lopez refuses to cooperate, but Gregson informs him they already have a court order requiring him to submit to a blood test.  Lopez is cornered, knowing the police have him cold on two counts of first-degree murder.  Gregson suggests that, if Lopez gives them enough evidence to arrest and indict Amelie Widomski for her part in the robbery, Lopez may have a chance of being released from prison before he dies of old age.

-|text=That evening, Holmes carries in a case of champagne bottles, a grateful gift from Casterly Rock Security.  He grumbles that they should have checked to see whether he drank alcohol before spending $500 a bottle, and invites Watson to either have a glass herself, or pour it into the sink.  As she is doing the latter, the doorbell rings, and Holmes answers it to Mary Watson. In private with Joan, Mary says that she has never made a secret of her disapproval of Joan's new career - nor is she so gullible as to take all of Sherlock's generous praise at face value - but over dinner, she noticed a spark in Joan that she hasn't seen since her old days as a surgeon.  Against all her expectations, Mary believes that whatever working relationship Joan has with Sherlock is special. Joan demurs, saying Sherlock is just another client, and soon she will move on to her next one. Mary asks Joan if her next client will make her happy.  ''"People find their paths in the strangest of ways."'' Before Joan can reply, Sherlock walks into the living room and turns on the TV, saying he knows they will want to see what's on. The news reports the "anonymous" return of Van Gogh's masterpiece ''Pieta'' to the Aster Museum, it's rightful owner. Joan cannot help but smile.
