Salieri's Revenge

By Montykins

F. Murray Abraham kills someone by hacking his pacemaker to simulate a heart attack. Everyone would think it would be an accident, but Sebastian Moran (Vinnie Jones, playing one of Moriarty's henchmen) happens to notice the story and he alerts Holmes. It seems that the dead man was once on Moran's list of people Moriarty wanted killed.

Holmes deduces that the victim was murdered after being forced to vote to remove the landmark status on a speakeasy museum. The most obvious person to benefit from that gets squashed by an extremely convenient air conditioner, which makes Holmes conclude that they're on the trail of a killer who makes things look like an accident. So now all they need to do is figure out who the person is that would need to be killed, and that leads them to a lawyer than spends her time doing charity work and jogging. She's allergic to bees, which explains the convenient Africanized honeybees that Holmes has noticed in the area.

Holmes and Watson stake out the hive and eventually capture F. Murray Abraham. He says he's not Moriarty; he's just another of his many serial killers. Holmes sets up a phony meeting with F. Murray's boss, and he's able to use the power of high-speed photography to see him. Then he tracks the boss to a hotel room. The boss isn't Moriarty, of course, but he's willing to tell Holmes why Irene had to die. But before he can say anything, he gets killed by a sniper. Oops!

So Holmes and Watson hand F. Murray Abraham over to the police, where he's happy to confess to lots of murders. And then Holmes gets a call from the actual Moriarty, offering to meet him face-to-face. It looks like we're approaching the end of the season over here!
