Sherlock: Hey, check out this shot of adrenaline that can bring things back to life.

It was used to revive Holmes after the armaments factory shootout.
Regarding the female characters, it feels like both of these movies are struggling to find a logical place to fit a prominent female character into the Holmes/Watson dynamic, without doing the love interest thing, since Holmes really isn't romantic. Heck, even Young Sherlock Holmes ended with proto-Hermione getting iced.
Though Mary actually shows promise in this movie. She wields a gun at one point, suggests to Watson that they toss a guy out of a moving train, and helps wrap up Moriarty's bank accounts.
