The statue of limitations on assault ends after five years. Jack gets desperate and walks into a restaurant with a gun. He holds 20 hostages and asks for Sherlock and Watson. Sherlock has until 12 midnight before that statute of limitations runs out. Watson is also held. A male lawyer named Dario was having a love affair with Conner in 2012. Dario tells Sherlock and Detective Bell that Connor dropped out of law school. He ended up working at a warehouse where he was eventually beaten up. There was a smuggling operation going on near that warehouse.
