Trainspotting 2: Trainspottier

By Montykins

Sherlock Holmes is missing! Watson thinks he might have relapsed because there's a heroin overdose at one point. This results in Jonny Lee Miller musing on the smell of cooked heroin and it all seems somehow... familiar. Especially the part about the squalid apartments.

But to find out what happened to him, we have to go back two days. Holmes and Watson were called in to investigate a missing Chief Operating Officer, who turns out to have overdosed on heroin in a secret (amazingly big) apartment where he used to entertain high-priced prostitutes. Holmes deduces that the COO was actually poisoned by heroin in the salad. And not only that, here are some other people from this company who were also murdered!

Watson goes off on a date with a boring guy who exists only to demonstrate that she can tell when people are lying. This new ability doesn't stop her from going out with him a second time after she's learned he's married. Holmes texts her a few times so that we can see that he uses obnoxious text-speak abbreviations. He says it's faster, but I don't think he's counting the time he has to spend explaining everything.

Holmes eventually realizes that the true killer is not the obvious guy (who got promoted every time his boss died mysteriously) but really his secretary. But he keeps gloating at her in the parking garage, so she hits him with a stun gun and handcuffs him in the back seat. She drives him out to a remote farm but makes the mistake of responding to a text from Watson with correct grammar. So the police catch her and Holmes is safe. Hooray!
