It’s another way of reminding Sherlock that Moriarty owes Sherlock a fall. The reason why Moriarty carves I O U onto the apple is not entirely mystical. Graffiti behind Sherlock and John at/ near 221b Baker Street: Now lets look at where I O U creeps up in the episode, apart from Sherlock muttering it and Moriarty telling him. Still, both - I owe you and you owe me - somehow make sense to me. Maybe Moriarty means that Sherlock has ‘beaten’ him many times (e.g.: Irene Adler) and now it is time that he (Moriarty) gives Sherlock a 'fall’. Wouldn’t it make more sense if he said: You owe me a fall, Sherlock? Or is this just me? This makes perfect sense in relevance to Moriarty. In some cases, IOUs may be redeemable for a specific product or service rather than a quantity of currency.“ IOUs may be signed or carry distinguishing marks or designs to ensure authenticity. IOUs usually specify the debtor, the amount owed, and sometimes the creditor. “An IOU (abbreviated from the phrase "I owe you”) is usually an informal document acknowledging debt. In this post I shall examine the phrase as well as its relevance as to how Sherlock faked his death.įirst things first - does I O U have any other meaning? Wikipedia says: I O U (I owe you) is one of the many curious things Moriarty says to Sherlock.
