By order of

[signature] E Smallwood                     TOP SECRET

MYCROFT (offscreen): What you're about to see is classified beyond top secret.

(A video screen is showing four perspectives of the scene on the patio at Appledore shortly before Sherlock shot Charles Magnussen. In a room which may be in the same building where Lady Smallwood's parliamentary commission was held in "His Last Vow," Mycroft is standing with his back to a table behind which sit Lady Elizabeth Smallwood herself and Sir Edwin, last seen with her towards the end of the same episode. Near them sits a woman in her early seventies with a notebook and pen on her lap.Jenny is standing by the door way watching the event unfold in front of her. Sherlock is sitting on a chair near his brother, facing the table. The video screen is behind the other three people. Now Mycroft turns to face them.)

MYCROFT: Is that quite clear? (He looks towards the elderly lady.) Don't minute any of this.

(The woman, who was just about to put on her glasses, lowers them again and folds her hands in her lap.)

MYCROFT: Once beyond these walls, you must never speak of it. A D-notice has been slapped on the entire incident. Only those within this room – code names Antarctica, Langdale, Porlock and Love – will ever know the whole truth.

(Sherlock has his head down and a rapid quiet clicking can be heard.)

MYCROFT: As far as everyone else is concerned, going to the Prime Minister and way beyond, Charles Augustus ... Are you tweeting?!

(He glares down at Sherlock, who looks up guiltily and covers his phone even as the sound of a tweet being sent can be heard.)

SHERLOCK: No.

MYCROFT: Well, that's what it looks like.

SHERLOCK: Of course I'm not tweeting. Why would I be tweeting?

MYCROFT: Give me that.

(He quickly walks across to his brother and reaches for the phone.)

SHERLOCK: What? No. Get off. What are you doing?

JENNY: BOYS

(He tries to hang on to the phone with both hands while Mycroft struggles to get hold of it.)

SHERLOCK: Get off. What ...?

JENNY (sternly): Give it here.

( Jenny walks away from the door way to stand in front of Sherlock holding her hand out for the phone.He finally hands the phone over to Jenny who the looks at the screen with Mycroft behind her.)

MYCROFT: "Back on terra firma."

SHERLOCK: Don't read them out.

JENNY: "Free as a bird."

SHERLOCK: God, you're such a spoilsport.

MYCROFT (angrily): Will you take this matter seriously, Sherlock?

SHERLOCK: I am taking it seriously. What makes you think I'm not taking it seriously?

MYCROFT (looking at the phone): "Hashtag OhWhatABeautifulMorning."
