It's very unlikely that Moriarty would simply throw away one of his two key holds on Holmes (the other being Watson).Īgain, sorry for any spoilers, and if this is painfully obvious to everyone already, I apologize for that too. In conclusion, I believe that Moriarty told Holmes that Adler died to piss him off, making the game more entertaining for the criminal mastermind. Instead, however, I believe he realized that the stain was wine, and that she was still alive. The passive observer may see this as Holmes "letting go" of Irene. Later, while on a boat, Holmes smells the kerchief Moriarty gave to him, and then throws it overboard.
In one scene of the movie, Sherlock smells a red stain in a cloth, and can identify it as wine instead of blood. Moriarty believed she coughed up blood, and gave the kerchief to Holmes. I propose that in this time she spilled some wine onto her kerchief, then coughed on it. When we see Adler for the last time, she stumbles against a table, knocking over a bottle, I believe. Moriarty gives Holmes a blood-stained handkerchief, saying it belonged to her. Knowing the warnings that Sherlock gave to her immediately before her meeting with Moriarty, and the criminal mastermind nature of her boss, it seems unlikely that she would drink anything given to her at a place that he arrived at first. The only evidence we have that she died was Moriarty, a proven bad-guy, saying that she died. The simplest reasoning for this, is that we never see a body, examination, or grave. My argument is that she's not dead at all, and was either being held hostage by Moriarty, or escaped him when she was presumed dead. This seems like an odd way to kill off a main character.
Sherlock holmes a game of shadows movie#
In Game of Shadows, Holmes' love interest from the previous movie is "murdered" in a public restaurant, in the first twenty minutes of the film.
My apologies for any spoilers to anyone who has yet to see the movie.
