It’s something that Sherlock did that was very out of character, but which nobody has picked up on.” - Steven MoffatSherlock has his phone (looks to me like that at least) in his hands there, hiding it cleverly in his coat sleeve most of the times.Why? That leads to my idea related to quote above from Steven Moffat.I am referring to the conversation between Sherlock and Jim on the roof. Sherlock is doing something out of character there: He’s asking questions, he seems confused. But only that much to not make Jim suspicious.Sherlock: But the rhythm … Jim: Partita no. 1, thank you, Johann Sebastian BachSherlock: But then how did you …?And then Jim explains his entire plan how he broke in several important buildings at once. It’s not the only time in that conversation where Sherlock acts like the “dumber one” of both, of course not too bluntly so Jim doesn’t realize what’s going on.Why does Sherlock act like he’s lost and hasn’t figured out Jim’s entire plan? So he can record what Jim is saying (in sense of a confession) on his phone, which he has in his hand/coat sleeve.When you watch the scene again, Sherlock steps to the edge of the roof, till to that point he was acting. Then he starts laughing, cause he feels like he has won. The most important parts he probably has recorded. So he steps back down again. Now he’s back to his “normal self”. I feel like you can see it in his attitude even (comparing 2nd screenshot with 3rd)Later, when he’s on the phone with John, Sherlock says: “This is my note.”Before he jumps of the building, he throws the phone away, to leave it on the roof. Hmm, these are my thoughts to the scene so far.EVERYONE READ THIS THIS IS AMAZING AND SO PERFECT.READ JUST READ IT OKAY?oooooo the note was the physical phone and not the phone call *mind explosion*GENIUS!This is the sherlock fandom. We can solve crimes and shit.THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ THANK YOU INTERNEToH MY GOD THIS IS GENIUSSo, what if John is acting in the end… if he’s figured out that something is up, but he acts all mournful then is able to go on knowing that possibly, at some point, Sherlock and he might cross paths again one day?or even worse, maybe Sherlock recorded it on his phone and threw it onto the roof, expecting John to figure out that he meant the phone itself was the note rather than the phone call, and that he would go up there and get the phone. and then what if John doesn’t go onto the roof because he cant bear to think of Sherlock’s last moments and how his friend died, so doesn’t find the phone and doesn’t hear why Sherlock did it, and Sherlock is just watching him every day and willing him to go up onto the roof of St Bart’s and find the phone and find out why Sherlock ‘jumped’ whenever he sees Johns red eyes from weeks of sleepless nights and the times he throws Sherlock’s things across the flat in frustration and anger at why Sherlock jumped but John just cant go onto the roof no matter how many times he wants to go and see if he can find some hint as to why it happened, but whenever he nears the roof he just imagines Sherlock jumping again, and he can’t quite make it so he never finds the phone so he doesn’t know -- source link
