Dead Man's Tale

Elementary 5×18

& Holmes: Despite what the motion picture industry would have us believe, it is not easy to pierce skin, ribs, and muscle in a single thrust.

& Det. Bell: Am I the only one keeping an eye out for the lost Ark of the Covenant?
    Holmes: Nah, that’s in a warehouse in Yemen.
    Det. Bell: I was joking!
    Holmes: So was I.

& Holmes: Mmm... It’s vanilla with an almond finish. The odor is created by the breakdown of cellulose and lignin, two of the components of paper. It’s what gives old books their smell.

& Holmes: He, like everyone else in Colonial times, wrote with ink and quill. Captain Barker would have had to mix fresh ink every day. Therefore, one would expect each entry to be slightly different in shade and consistency...

& Capt. Gregson: Pirate treasure? In New York?

& Holmes: The truth must out.

& Shinwell: You the one taught me how to coax a confession out of a suspect. Hmm? Isolate. Surprise. Build a rapport.
