Sherlock Holmes movie mistake

Elementary (TV Series 2012– ) Season 6 Episode 4 at 36:52, Sherlock hears the phrase "aionía i mními" from a thug so now he knows that the murderer is a Greek doctor Mr Demopoulos becuse that is a Greek phrase from Greek-Orthodox funerals and that was the phrase that the killer said after he stubbed multiple times a female doctor.
WRONG!
The phrase "αιωνία η μνήμη" means "eternal memory" and when we say "eternal memory" to a human it's like a wish: "someone will always remember you". That "someone" who will always remember the person which just passed away is God. We say that phrase with love and deep feeling, yes the priests say it in the end of funerals and memorizes and in speeches for very important persons which did good in our country but no one will say it after murder especially if the victim isn't a Greek-Orthodox. It's wrong and foolish, it's an abuse of that phrase and that doctor of that episode had absolutely no right to say it!
The "eternal memory" suits in an eulogy or in a mooring, it's a sacred phrase so the guy who wrote the scenario made a mistake and now that we have clarify this

I am smoking Borkum Riff in a Ferretti, double Greek coffee beside me plus ice water. Bad mood today, fellow countrymen have been charred inside their houses, in a tavern, inside their cars, in the middle of the road trying to get away from fire. The whole place is like the Pompeii of 79 AD, dozens of babies-old people too are dead and the authorities still counting the casualties.

An Arabic Medwakh. Not sure about the hardwood but it's notched together with gazelle horn. Really cool piece. The tobacco is called "Dokha". It's a minimally processed strain of Tabacum that's grown in the Persian Gulf. It has a much different appearance and a drier moisture content. It's very strong and satisfying tobacco.

That's a pretty little cigarettoid gadget (and a very pretty hand holding it, KarlWithA"K"). It might be considered a 400 year old version of vaping. Dokha is not a specific tobacco variety, but rather a method of preparation. The tradition apparently reaches back to before they figured out how to properly cure tobacco. It is tobacco that is flash-dried green, to which various flavorants have been added, in order to obscure the taste of green tobacco. Given the size of the medwakh bowl, and the translation of the Arabic, "Dokha", which means "vertigo" or "dizziness" (I'll go with a more modern slang: "buzz"), I'm sure that some available preparations contain a whopping dose of nicotine.

Now there is no house, no garage, no car, no garden, no trees, no dog, the owners are "missing persons"..and all was left is our flag hanging damaged from the pole with a cord.

American Revolutionary War

At approximately 9 pm on April 26th, 1777, Sybil 16-year-old , the eldest daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington, climbed onto her horse and proceeded to ride 40 miles in order to muster local militia troops in response to a British attack on the town of Danbury, Connecticut - covering twice the distance that Paul Revere rode during his famous midnight ride.

You might think a 16 year old would have sent a group text message instead. Her colonel father, likely a strict disciplinarian, may not have allowed her to have her own cell phone at her tender age.
