Plot

"When the time comes, if it comes, the problem of Moriarty will be mine and mine alone."

— Sherlock to Morland

Watson is called to the murder scene of Gilbert Pham by Detective Bell. A VP at a large accounting firm, Bell believes the scene has been staged to look like a home invasion. Watson notices signs that Pham was tied to a chair and believes he was tortured and, that his computer should be examined. At The Brownstone, Sherlock and Morland continue to discuss Morland being targeted by the assassin Vanja Borozan. Somewhat skeptical that Moriarty hired Borozan, Sherlock indicates he'll have to verify she's escaped. Morland understands and asks Sherlock to help him kill her. Sherlock meets the deputy chief of MI6, Sir James Walter who gives him all the items found on Borozan and in his hotel room before he committed suicide. Bell interrupts a celebration of a merger between two tobacco companies to inform the executives that Pham may have approved the merger under duress.

I hoped I would never have to make this request.

Questioning the four executives involved in the merger, they all confirm that the deal is good for both companies and all of them were in Ohio when Pham was killed. Kip Lowell, the president of Summit-Stow, appears to Sherlock to be looking for approval of his statements from a sales manager, Tim Darsha, which he denies. While Pham's accounting report is looked at in more detail, Sherlock believes Darsha is hiding something. At the 11th Precinct, Bell tells Watson that Pham's work checked out and that he was so thorough that it included the amount of cigarette cases moving through Summit-Stows' loading docks. More cigarettes were moving through the docks than the company records indicated and the surplus may have been smuggled to other states where cigarette prices are higher. Bell has obtained sample cartons of cigarettes being smuggled into NYC and they theorize that Pham was killed to prevent revealing the smuggling. Watson takes the sample cartons as she has a way to find out where they came from.

We don’t take alibis at people’s word.

At the Brownstone, Sherlock finds The Nose smelling the sample cartons. Miffed that Watson has asked for The Nose's help over his, he also tells Watson that Moriarty hired Borozan to kill Morland and found a clue to her whereabouts in Borozan's possessions. The Nose reports his findings from which Watson is able to find where the smugglers are bringing the cigarettes into NYC.

Trivia

The box of Concierge cigarettes Watson holds at 10:55 changes orientation between shots. Also, the cigarettes on the tray The Nose is smelling keep changing orientation from lined up to crooked between shots from 11:20 to 12:00.

Quotes

Moriarty intends to kill me. I need your help to kill her first.
