Hilariously enough, I'm pretty sure Cumberbatch is genuinely explaining what happened underneath the "signal lost," albeit peppered with some extreme silliness. I remember Sherlock asking the coroner for a favor, which meant he could get his hands on a corpse, hence the monkey switch; there was a truck of some kind of soft material hanging around on the street that he could jump into from off the building; and I think he had more than a few minions on the ground that could place the corpse on the ground for him while he hid himself — remember how someone prevented Watson from getting too close a look at the body?

That said, I want Benedict Cumberbatch to explain everything to me with small plush monkeys from now on.
