The first season concludes.
Even after the shock of the climax of the preceding episode, Charlie wants to work with the rest of the team on the hunt for Georges’s attacker. But that's against regulations, so instead Florence hands her a safe little stolen packages case. But she and Samy solve it in just a few hours. What to do? The haul from the package thief’s place yields a clue to her reckless driver from Episode 1– and she takes the bait.
This episode takes its title from the Doyle story of the same name. I don't notice any plot similarities, other than the Reichenbach Falls.
NOTES
1’17”: We learn that the Holmes lake house is at 5 Impasse de L’Etang (lagoon/pond), a fake address in Fay-de-Bretagne, a real town near Nantes. There are several Impasses de L’Etang in France, the closest to Fay-de-Bretagne is in Petit-Mars, 15 miles to the east.
I can't find fanboy Samy’s chess board factoid (5’19”) in Holmes canon.
Florence-ism: She says that in order to get the Georges case assigned to them, J'ai dû faire la danse du ventre, ‘I had to do a belly dance’ (6’26”).
Dewaere with car keys (8’00”) and behind the wheel (22’23”) reminds me, I read that she’s afraid to drive due to a bad car accident she was in, in 2001. In scenes where she drives, the engine is off and the car is being pushed by crew members, or she’s in a camera car (46’20” c.f.).
No no, pas de clé sous la porte, ‘no, there’ll be no key under the door’ (8’41”), means (sticking to the door motif) there will be no going out of business. I guess after you shut your doors you slide the key under the door because you no longer need it.
Here’s a perplexing one, I don’t think it’s a Florence-ism: She tells Charlie, Personne ne t'en voudra d'etre en transport-régime, ‘No one will blame you for being on a transport diet’ (16’53”). Given the context– Georges in the hospital and the hit & run– it could mean a mix of ‘take some time off’ and ‘take a break from the subject of cars.’
I now see that the official France.tv subtitles reads sous-regime even though the words are clearly transport-regime. Unless it’s etre en faut regime said really fast. Sigh. I did my best.
Relativity: French banks consider your cash withdrawals to be their payments (17’29”).
A CB is a carte bleue. The name ‘blue card’ applies to debit and credit cards, and they don’t have to actually be blue. It’s a genericization for the name of popular French cards that used to be blue.
It sounds like Charlie asks what if her meds made her vriller (25’32”), which means ‘spiral’ and, possibly I suppose, ‘dizzy.’ But briller means ‘shiny,’ which can also mean ‘crazy,’ so that’s what I’m assuming.
Another callback to Episode 1: A Wellerman (36’32”) was any supply ship owned by the 19th century traders the Weller Brothers.
40’31”: Here comes the bus Charlie gets thrown under– the fingerprints on the gun and Chris searching Charlie’s office is where the story goes off the rails. If everyone knows about the history of the Holmeses vs the Moriartys, then even Chris should know it would be child’s play for the Moriartys to fake forensic and video evidence. It’s a cop show trope! It’s not believable!
Charlie’s memory at 42’59” is a different take of the line from just a couple minutes earlier (41’17”). Likewise her memory at 43’08” is different from the original line at 9’42”.
Cute: Rue des Boulangers, ‘Bakers Street,’ and Rue Lestrade (46’08”).
