Beth MacLeish

**Beth MacLeish** was the Second Lady of the United States, being the wife of former Vice President Peter MacLeish, who were both part of the conspiracy against the U.S government. Throughout the season, Beth tries to keep Peter in the running to take over the Oval Office by killing Tom Kirkman.

## Biography

When her husband, Peter began to have second thoughts about going on within the conspiracy before becoming Vice President, Beth reassured him. She stood alongside him when he was sworn as Vice President.

Beth got into a confrontation with Peter over Alvin Joyner's fate. While she argued that he had to die due to the possibility that he might spill information about the mission he and Peter did in Afghanistan, Peter insisted that he would reassure him. Beth reluctantly agreed, but told that if he couldn't, he had to die and quoted the True Believers' slogan "*no victory without sacrifice*".

After a text from Brooke Mathison, Beth realized that FBI agent Hannah Wells was very close to connecting the dots and pinning Peter. She lied to her Secret Service, claiming she was going to read to her children. Beth then drove to Arlington Cemetery and saw Wells holding Peter at gunpoint. As a last resort to keep the conspiracy under wraps, she shot and killed Peter and then turned the gun on herself, committing suicide.

## Personality

Initially, Beth seemed like a caring and civil person, as shown when she told her alibi that her kids went missing the day the Capitol exploded. Nevertheless, she uses this as a facade to cover up her true motives.

Beth's true personality mirrors that of Shakespearean character Lady Macbeth, as they both continuously convince their husbands into doing things that they deem immoral; in Beth's case, convincing Peter to aid the conspiracy. This can be seen when she reassured Peter into swearing in as Vice President despite him having seconds thoughts about continuing the conspiracy. This is also displayed when she tried to convince him that Alvin Joyner had to die in order for their tracks to be covered.

She was so devoted to the conspiracy that she prioritized it over her own life, evident when she kills Peter and herself so that they would not be caught by the FBI.

## Trivia

* Beth MacLeish's name is a possible play on the character "Lady Macbeth", the scheming wife of Macbeth in the play of the same name. Her personality is mirrored in Beth MacLeish; the two women convince their husbands into performing tasks that their husbands deem immoral.
Majid Nassar

**Majid Nassar** was a terrorist and the leader of the terrorist group Al-Sakar.

He initially claimed responsibility for the attack on the Capitol, but during his interrogation between him and the FBI, he revealed he did not actually commit the act, but claimed responsibility to divert attention away from the actual conspirators. Shortly after, Catalan poisoned his meal and Majid was killed. Jason Atwood was later framed for the murder of Nassar.

## Biography

Six years before the events of the series, Majid's family was hit by U.S. Maverick missiles outside Barmal. He searched for a week to find his family's remains, but to no avail. Some time later, he would later go on to lead the terrorist group Al-Sakar. However, he and the latter simply latched on to bigger groups and claimed responsibility for a nightclub bombing they did not commit.

After the Capitol bombing, Majid sent a video to the U.S government claiming responsibility for the attack. The Algerian government kept Nassar out of U.S custody and thus prompted the U.S Navy SEALs to apprehend him. When he was discovered in the basement an Algerian hospital, they found Nassar holding a number of children hostage. They managed to capture the terrorist leader, but at the cost of a fellow SEAL.

He was later brought to FBI agents Hannah Wells and Jason Atwood, who were both unconvinced that Majid actually bombed the Capitol and wanted to learn who set him up. Hannah taunted Nassar that he and Al-Sakar just latched on to bigger groups and that they could never carry out something as complex as the Capitol bombing. Majid denies this and tells that only they could carry the kind of explosives used in the attack in large amounts. However, after Hannah threatens his other family, Nassar confesses that the person who set him up was a person named Catalan and that he only went along because they both wanted "death to America".

Not long after, Majid Nassar was found dead in his cell from food poisoning caused by Catalan, who put thallium into his food.

Seemingly shut down in 2015, the company was continuously paying rent for prominent real estate properties, including Brooke Mathison's residence and one in North Dakota, where an underground missile silo was. Inside it, the facility held numerous anti-tank mines, the same ones used to blow up the Capitol.

The "True Believers" used the area near the missile silo to create a makeshift landing pad for incoming helicopters.

The meeting, however, went wrong and the warlord ordered his men to kill them. They fought their way out, but the warlord continued to pursue, killing one by one members of the unit. The unit was later driven into a violent state and shot everything in their path, going as far as to kill civilians. A short time later, Alvin drew a gun at Lozano and demanded to know what was going on, to which Lozano confessed that he was a CIA officer sent with five million dollars in money to help fight against the Taliban. At that instant, MacLeish's unit wanted to kill Lozano out of retribution for their fallen friends, but were stopped by MacLeish. After the war, Alvin became traumatized at what they did in Afghanistan.

After Hannah Wells came out with a gun to arrest Peter for perjury, Alvin tackled her while telling his former captain to run. He attempted to hold Hannah back long enough for Peter to escape, but was knocked unconscious.

Alvin was later interrogated by Hannah Wells about the mission in Afghanistan. He initially refused to tell her anything, but after being disgusted by how a document described the mission, he soon gave in to his conscience; he then told Hannah what he and MacLeish did together back in war.

## Personality

Ever since the crimes he committed in back in Afghanistan, he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. As a result, he has large amounts of anxiety and guilt when the mission is brought up in a conversation. Before his interrogation, he went through with his life worrying that the truth about what he and MacLeish's unit did would be uncovered, even quoting from the Bible.  When he finally cracked in his interrogation, he had flashbacks of violence.

Mary Morstan

## Mary Elizabeth Watson, née Morstan

Mary Watson, le jour de son mariage

* Harriet Watson (belle sœur)

**Mary Morstan** ou Mary Watson est la femme de John.

Mary est interprétée par l'actrice Amanda Abbington.

## Biographie

On ne sait rien d'elle jusqu'au dernier épisode de la saison 3. Sherlock lui-même n'avait rien trouvé sur elle.

John la rencontre à la fin de la saison 2, et ils se fiancent au début de la saison 3. Ils se marient ensuite.

Sherlock découvre au mariage de John que Mary est enceinte.

Elle détenait une clé USB qui contenait toute sa vie d'agent, tout son passé avec les initiales A.G.R.A écrites dessus au marqueur noir.

A.G.R.A sont ses initiales mais on ne connait pas son vrai nom. Elle était membre de la CIA et tireur d'élite. Elle assassinait des gens, on peut supposer que c'était des criminels.

On peut supposer également qu'elle était américaine puisque Sherlock sait qu'elle n'est pas anglaise.

Quand John découvre la vérité, il est énervé contre elle mais il choisit de ne rien savoir sur cette période de sa vie. Il estime que ce sont "ses affaires". Il brûle donc la clé USB.

Dans la saison 4, on en apprend plus sur elle quand son passé refait surface. Son véritable prénom est Rosamund Mary, mais elle déclare qu'elle a toujours préféré Mary.

Rosamund Mary est le prénom qu'elle donne à la fille qu'elle met au monde.

La signification d'A.G.R.A est véritablement expliquée dans cette saison également. A.G.R.A étaient les initiales de chaque membre de son groupe de mercenaires et tireurs d'élites; elles désignent respectivement Alex, Gabriel, Rosamund et Ajay.
Ils ont mené il y a 6 ans, une mission à hauts risques à Tbilissi, pour sauver des ambassadeurs britanniques pris en otages. La mission a échoué, tous les ambassadeurs et membres d'A.G.R.A sont morts sauf elle (du moins c'est ce que croyait Mary).
Quand Sherlock découvre qu'il y a un autre agent avec une clé USB similaire à celle de Mary, il établit le lien et convoque Mary. Elle lui révèle toute la vérité.

Sherlock lui dit qu'Ajay a l'intention de la tuer, elle ne peut y croire, pour elle: les membres d'A.G.R.A étaient une famille. Elle part de son côté (en essayant de cacher sa trace le plus possible) pour retrouver Ajay. Elle utilise de fausses identités (elle a un passeport américain du nom de Gabrielle Ashdown), fait un voyage détourné de nombreuses fois et pour finir, arrive au Maroc.

Quand Sherlock découvre le fin mot de l'histoire, ils sont tous revenus à Londres.
Mary décède à l'aquarium de Londres, assassinée par AMMO devant John, Sherlock, Mycroft Holmes et Greg Lestrade.
Elle dira avant de mourir, à son mari, que sa vie avec lui, était le moment le plus heureux de son existence et que seule la vie de Mary Watson valait le coup d'être vécue.

Capitol Bombing

The **Capitol Bombing** was a catastrophic attack on the United States Capitol orchestrated by the True Believers during the State of the Union Address given by Robert Richmond on January 20, 2017. The explosion claimed the lives of the President and all members of his Cabinet except for U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Tom Kirkman, who had been named the designated survivor and Charles Langdon, Richmond's chief of staff. All members of Congress, minus Kimble Hookstraten and Peter MacLeish, were also killed in the attack.The nine Justices on the Supreme Court were also killed in the attack. In addition, it was the greatest attack on the United States since the 9/11 bombings of the Twin Towers.

## History

Through Jay Whitaker, the True Believers managed to get their hands on File 12-80C, a confidential file that was a simulation of the Capitol bombing.

Later, a group of people who were actually part of the True Believers were scheduled to renovate the Capitol. Taking advantage of this, the conspirators secretly planted multiple Russian anti-tank mines supplied from Browning Reed (including one dud) and built a bomb shelter beneath the Capitol, intended for Peter MacLeish. Some time after, all the renovators died and their deaths were labelled under accidents or natural causes.

During the State of the Union, the resulting explosion wiped out most of the government, except for Peter MacLeish, who was hiding in the secret shelter. He was recovered from the rubble soon after.

Bribed by Catalan, Majid Nassar, the leader of Algerian terrorist group Al-Sakar claimed responsibility for the bombing via a video sent to the government by Whitaker in order to divert attention away from the actual conspirators. FBI agent Hannah Wells wasn't convinced he did the attack and eventually figured out he was set up.

After Gabriel Thompson gave back the files he stole to President Kirkman, the latter learned of the existence of File 12-80C and its connection to the bombing and came to the conclusion that there was a traitor inside the White House.

After Hannah uncovered a thumb drive possessed by Brooke Mathison, she discovered simulations of other landmarks exploding using the same anti-tank mines, which included the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hoover Dam and the Statue of Liberty, although the files turned out to be decoys.
D.C. Metro Bombing

The **D.C. Metro Bombing** was an attack committed by Arturo Rojas and orchestrated by Ambassador Salimi which claimed the lives of six federal agents, including the head of the FBI, John Forstell.

Following the attack, the US declared war on Kunami; believing that the Emir was responsible. Once Salimi was found out, the current Emir abdicated, and conflict between the two countries ended.

## History

Shortly after brokering a peace deal between East and West Hun Chiu, President Kirkman was informed of an iminent threat to the United States.

Initially believing the attack was being carried out by East Hun Chiu, Kirkman detains their leadership. An investigation by Hannah Wells, Chuck Russink and Detective Blakey discovers the target for the attack to be the Brandt Metro Station.
