Sherlock is, of course, all too happy to help out Rhys.

As you might imagine, these drug kingpins took that rather personally and finally figured out a way to get to him. Good ol’ Rhys, a likeable chap, ripped off his Dominican suppliers for exactly that amount several years earlier before legging it to Thailand to spend his ill-gotten gains on…well, whatever it is that one spends that kind of money on in Thailand.

2.2 million bucks sounds like a pretty specific sum, doesn’t it? Sherlock thinks so. Rhys’ daughter, who he hasn’t seen in quite some time, has been kidnapped, and he’s on the hook for 2.2 million dollars in ransom money. Hannah lights up the screen as Rhys, a guy who happens to be Sherlock’s former drug dealer.Īh, but Rhys hasn’t crossed the pond just to party and reminisce with his old buddy/customer. And this week’s episode, “A Giant Gun, Filled With Drugs” (this brilliant title brought to you by a quote from Joan Watson) features exactly that, in the person of Scottish actor, John Hannah. But you know when Elementary is ESPECIALLY awesome? When there’s a terrific guest star playing a dynamic character that can really bounce off of the fantastic chemistry that Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu have. You’re sick of hearing me say it, and I’m sick of saying it.
