Victoria Docks. London.
On the 19th of March, 1901, where the
iniquitous Professor James Moriarty,
ruler of England's underworld and
veritable Emperor of international crime,
maintains his secret and
impenetrable headquarters...
Ah, Colonel Moran,
you're punctual as usual.
Has everything proceeded
according to schedule?
Indeed it has.
Number ten:
'Moran to Moriarty
at midnight exactly.'
Perfect!
With one exception...
A trifle one, perhaps.
But I simply do not happen to be
Colonel Moran.
Sherlock Holmes?
At your service.
I can well imagine the profundity of your
disappointment, Professor Moriarty.
And you cannot fail to realise that
there can only be one explanation
for my having successfully penetrated
the most carefully concealed lodgings
in the whole of London.
I observe your choice of decorations
is fully as disagreeable
as your choice of profession.
Where's Colonel Moran?
In custody.
As are Quint, Adelspait,
Stryker and Nickers.
In short, Professor, your
entire organisation here in Britain
is now occupying cells
and the assassination of
Lord Brackish has failed.
Damn and blast you for
the meddle of the charge, sir.
With your West End ways,
talking down your upper-class nose
and only happy when you're
dressing up as someone else
as though life was
some schoolboy lark.
Blast you, Holmes!
Blast ya!
I suggest you attempt
to get a hold of yourself.
Your rage is beginning to
affect your speech.
Did you come alone tonight?
Since you ask,
yes.
I thought as much.
I know your methods by now.
tour-de-force,
the coup de grace.
The necessity of nourishing your ego,
unassisted.
Atrocious.
Along with your French.
Yes, well my only regret is
I must leave alone.
Your cohorts refused to implicate you,
and Colonel Moran
fears for his life to do so.
But, be warned, Professor,
your people have been captured
and you are alone.
Alone and helpless!
And I will have you yet!
Mr Holmes,
your interference in my affairs
has gradually grown
from mild annoyance to
insufferable impertinence.
Tonight's actions have finally
rendered you intolerable to me.
Really?
Only tonight?
You've been intolerable to me
much longer than that!
Would you be good enough to observe...
This.
And this.
This.
Not to mention, this.
Mr Holmes, there are more than
a dozen ways to kill a man in this room.
And that trapdoor into the Thames
the man's ever having been here.
Do you wonder why I haven't employed
any of these devices against you?
Well, it's not for want of trying.
No.
It's because they don't suit me.
I will destroy you,
but in my fashion.
Will you?
Yes.
so that your humiliation and downfall
will be witnessed by the entire world.
How fascinating.
And just how do you propose to do that?
The crime of the century,
the past century
and all the centuries to come
is in preparation.
It will go forward as planned,
despite the temporary set-back
your interference has caused me.
It will go forward.
It will take place.
And, Mr Holmes, it will take place
before your very eyes
and you'll be powerless to prevent it.
The world will gape
at its immensity.
And when the world discovers
it occurred within arm's length
of the incomparable Sherlock Holmes,
the world will sneer,
the world will ridicule.
The world will hound you into oblivion.
And that is why I haven't employed any
