I thought it was added afterwards! I had no idea it was Martin who made that sound :D

Sipu97 I know, right?!the sound effect was hillarious and I thought that was editing!!!

[@raven_rez1074]

They cut that scene pretty quickly, so i assume he burst out laughing.

[@superwholockian3682]

Me too 😂😂😂😂

[@happinessiskey6879]

I read that another improvised scene is Moriarty dancing while stealing the crown jewels in the reichenbach fall. Dancing was not in the script

[@sybil9586]

Omg, that was awesome!

[@firstnamelastname6016]

Yeah, I think so too. I believe that the actor that pays Moriarty (I forgot his name, sorry) said that he just heard the music in the background and had to dance to it.

[@virginia2493]

So glad he added that it made that scene 100% better

[@tama-up8cm]

*andrew scott*

[@gaiamarie254]

YES!! I saw that on Pinterest, but I didn't know if it was real, or not. Apparently, he was originally going to just listen to classical music, but he ended up dancing!! Omg, the scene leading up to him smashing the glass with the fire extinguisher is amazingggnfmdkwkfkdmnfnem

[@silverstarlightproductions1292]

He improvised the bit about taking Irene Adler's pulse??!! Holy crap! He is a real-life genius!!!!

[@aneecaa-c2w]

Lauren Brown true .And he knows what we want

[@blueserenity7]

He didn't improvise the line itself, but he did make the decision to lean in, with his face in shadow, while saying it (because he felt that kind of betrayal and deconstructing love into chemistry was dark and cold and should be reflected in his body language and cinematography). Real life genius for sure, though :)

[@olliedylan1381]

Yea, the line itself wouldn’t be improvised. It’s literally the key part of the plot

[@gaiamarie254]

See, I wanna know what the script said originally..

[@keithlightminder3005]

But if he took the pulse with his thumb, he is only feeling his own?

[@royalteaanimations]

Everyone is saying how good the "I took your pulse" scene is but IS NO ONE MENTIONING THE PHONE CALL?! THE TEARS 😭

[@elmondo-s1e]

Royal R no people were mentioning it. Lots 🙃

[@idontreallylikelongnames]

Lol he's an actor, they can make themselves cry easily

[@majumder456]

Wild Sable no, they usually do it with makeup.

[@kristinateves1306]

@@majumder456 No. Good actors do not cry using makeup. They cry by immersing themselves in the scene. Which is why its not all that remarkable that those are real tears, because an actor of this calliber should never rely on tricks and bullshit. Thats what actors do. And no its not easy. It's work night after night. scene after scene. Acting is a job and a very difficult one. Actors that do it with CGI or eyedrops are not real actors and they are not good ones. I think what Benedict meant when he said real tears, were unplanned tears. Which is a thing. And its a fairly special thing. But still part of the work you do to put yourself into those places, which is the job. Moments where you find the unexpected in the middle of something are what he is refering to I beleive.

[@majumder456]

Kristina Teves jeez ok ok

[@addangel]

oh wow..the rooftop scene just became 100x more emotional (not that it needed to) 😢

[@chaosking3940]

Ada that's why Martin was so ruined after filming that. There's a picture of Benedict holding him because he can't cope.

[@CeelarCatStudios]

[@chaosking3940]

Is it? I didn't know. Thanks for telling me. :)

John calling Sherlock "you machine" was IMPROVISED????? In the book, Watson did call Sherlock a machine! Coincidence? I think not!

[@CJXOZV]

Do you, by any chance, know what books I could get of Sherlock Holmes? Are they like the episodes but only written down? Obviously, they won’t be exactly the same though.

[@kiiturii]

@@CJXOZV the show followed the books for the first couple seasons and then started to deviate quite a bit, they're also very different simply because this show is set in modern times while the other is in the 1800's, so if you just start from the first book you'll still find it to be very different from the show

Let's not analyze what I said

[@magpieyay]

"Apologizes for my...Thing- Uhm- Rude. RUDE" XD

[@emiquintana509]

The "you machine" was so well placed, the scene wouldn't have been whole without it

[@ourcorrectopinions6824]

Genius ad-libs by people playing geniuses. How appropriate. The "blud" aka "blood brother" ad-lib and "because I took your pulse" were chilling additions that made the scene(s) extraordinary.

[@halyketarrant]

ourcorrect opinions can I ask you something? As a foreigner I can’t understand if the use of “blud” here is meant to sound like an insult to Mycroft, because Sherlock is pissed at him, or it’s just to show how difficult is their relationship?

[@wearestars4193]

They were pretty underwhelming and garbage, actually

[@Muryxkitteh]

@@halyketarrant "Blud" is a slang term for someone who is related to you, as in someone who shares a "blood" connection: In other words, Mycroft is Sherlock's blood brother. The term "blud" can also be used as a slang term of affection or bond between two people who AREN'T related, to jokingly imply that they might as well be, because they're that close. (Sherlock and John qualify as "blud" brothers!)

[@inoue6]

We all cried real tears during that scene

[@miskamysa4323]

'Because I took your pulse' was definitely the best scene of all, so many emotions while watching this. I thought how genious S. Moffat was but it was in fact Benedict himself!

[@omituinenvipeltaja7182]

The line was in the script. It is only the delivery and leaning into the shadowy side of Irene that was improvised by Benedict. He talked about it in a commentary and people mistook that for him coming up with the line. Obviously the line had to be in the script, it is a central plot element and the pulse-taking was filmed in great detail. Credit where credit is due, so Mr. Moffat

[@unknown_human0743]

These are great! Freeman is a great actor.

[@Muryxkitteh]

Every time I tear my eyes off of the brilliance of Benedict and really focus on Martin, I am irresistibly reminded of the old adage about doing the same moves, but backwards in high heels. Ben is an absolute supernova, but Martin is right there with him, holding his own, in a much less flashy role. (Of course, Benedict himself is always pointing this out, too--he's in awe of the man.)

[@AmberlaMaderia]

This Irene Adler scene with the pulse is literally my favorite scene of the entire Sherlock series. Needless to say I do have quite a few favorites. xD

[@thehorrorhoku]

[@RafuStudio]

how about Moriarty's "dancing" scene

[@popskiptea8707]

I don’t think he actually added “because I took your pulse” he simply decided to whisper the line instead, which made it much more intimate. I’m not complaining though, it’s one of the sexiest scenes on television.

[@India.H]

Benedict suggested the idea/concept of Sherlock knowing Irene fancied him by taking her pulse.

[@mischievousmarker6616]

Damn... "because I took your pulse" is unscripted? I thought that line was absolutely brilliant because it further established Sherlock's character... even in a seemingly intimate moment with Irene Adler he remains the stone-cold detective, analyzing her behavior rather than being affected by her attitude towards him. Never knew it was Ben's idea.
