Tonga scratched the floorboards as he was dragged towards the doorway, likely as a desperate attempt to leave a trace or signal for help.
Agent Athelney Jones disappeared when a man he had been hunting for most of his career was poisoned, and he failed to chase down the killer.
The breakthrough involved discovering a bedroom where Tonga was being held, along with signs of a struggle and Tonga's possessions.
Tonga mouthed the word 'Aurora' to the security camera before being put into a car.
Sherlock called a meeting with the irregulars to gather information and data relevant to Tonga's case, utilizing their extensive surveillance network.
The irregulars discovered a music box in Tonga's room, which turned out to be Mary's, containing the Surakula diamond.
Toby, a search dog, helped by sniffing Tonga's hat and tracking his scent to the last known location of the car wreckage.
AURORA - a word which would feel like it had a million different meanings. Tonga was trying to communicate to us. It was down to Sherlock and the co-investigation between Interpol and Scotland Yard to decipher exactly what Aurora meant and how it would lead us to Tonga and the Surakula.
