As Ted works in the kitchen, Sherlock and Joan sift methodically through all of the documents. There's no overtly evil declarations, no direct orders to have the plane sabotaged, no smoking gun. And yet when everything is put together, the narrative it establishes is clear. Everything was set up in advance that the other members of the board would be on that specific plane at that specific location and time, and Rupert would absolutely not be. And then there was a wire transfer of money. A sticky note on the document identified it as being to a man suspected in partisan bombings in several locations in Europe, sort of a terrorist-for-hire.
When Ted emerges Joan looks up and takes a breath, feeling like she's been holding her breath for god knows how long.
"We'll wrap up," she responds with a small smile, not a happy smile but definitely a grateful one. She'll appreciate the break.
