Shortly afterwards Howard Shilcott – sitting in his living room and wearing his bobble hat – is Skypeing with the boys on the laptop while Sherlock , Jenny and John frantically search through maps and papers on the kitchen table at 221B.
HOWARD: There's nothing down there, Mr Holmes, I told you. No sidings, no ghost stations.
SHERLOCK (turning the laptop around so that John can see the screen): There has to be. Check again.
(Howard leans offscreen. John is looking through a book.)
JOHN: Look – this whole area is a big mess of old and new stuff. Charing Cross is made up of bits of older stations like Trafalgar Square, Strand ...
SHERLOCK: No, it's none of those. We've accounted for those.
(He looks closer at an old map.)
SHERLOCK: St Margaret's Street, Bridge Street, Sumatra Road, Parliament Street ...
HOWARD (taking the pom pom that he's been chewing out of his mouth): Hang on, hang on. Sumatra Road. You mentioned Sumatra Road, Mr Holmes. (He leans offscreen.) There is something. I knew it rang a bell. (Muttering) Where is it? (He comes back into view.)There was a station down there.
JENNY : Well, why isn't it on the maps?
HOWARD: 'Cause it was closed before it ever opened.
JOHN: What?
HOWARD (holding up a book to the camera to show the relevant page): They built the platforms, even the staircases, but it all got tied up in legal disputes, so they never built the station on the surface.
(Grinning, he points to the appropriate spot on the page. Sherlock has been slowly straightening up while Howard spoke.)
SHERLOCK: It's right underneath the Palace of Westminster.
JOHN: And so what's down there? A bomb?
(Sherlock walks away.)
JOHN: Oh ...
JENNY: Sherlock wait for us
(He hurries after him, grabbing his coat and put Jenny coat around her shoulder as she goes.)
SHERLOCK(turns back around): Your not coming with us your injured
JENNY: Oh? who says so?
SHERLOCK: I do
JENNY: And i'v told you , you are not my father and I'm fine it's just a broken bone.
SHERLOCK: John will you tell her
JOHN: Oh no keep me out of this, because I would be on her side
SHERLOCK: You're meant to be a Doctor!
JOHN: YES I am but I'm also her friend, beside we need her
SHERLOCK( shouts): WE WILL BE FINE JUST THE TWO OF US!
JOHN(shouts): SHE HAS MORE BRAIN POWER
JENNY: Okay, okay boys calm down Thank you John, Sherlock this is the end of discussion I'm coming
( She turns and exits the flat)
SHERLOCK: I really HATE her
JOHN: No you don't you love her
SHERLOCK : Love her? Ridicules
