Thinking English: Sherlock Holmes 2

Speaker ID / Transcription
Sherlock Holmes / It seems you have a lot of rooms to let.
Prison Guard / We had to move the prisoners, sir. Otherwise we were gonna have a riot on our hands. He has a peculiar effect on the inmates. As though, he can get inside their heads.
Sherlock Holmes / I'm sure I can find my own way if you have other duties to perform.
Prison Guard / Much obliged, sir. Thank you, sir.
Lord Blackwood / And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy, and they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast and they worshipped the beast saying, Who is like unto the beast? The beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were the feet of a bear and the mouth was the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority.
Sherlock Holmes / I love what you've done with the place.
Lord Blackwood / So glad you could accept my invitation.
Sherlock Holmes / I just have a small point of concern.
Lord Blackwood / How can I help?
Sherlock Holmes / I'd already followed the murders with some interest and while my heart went out primarily to the families of the victims I couldn't but notice a criminal mastery, in the stroke of your brush.
Lord Blackwood / You're too kind.
Sherlock Holmes / However, by comparison, your work in the crypt looks more akin to a
finger painting.
Lord Blackwood / So now you're curious as to whether there's a larger game afoot?
Sherlock Holmes / Either that or, shortly my friend will pronounce you dead and I thought I might keep him company.
Lord Blackwood / Your mistake is to imagine that anything earthly has led us to this moment. Your error of judgement is to assume that I'm holding the brush at all. I'm merely the channel.
Sherlock Holmes / Well my only wish is that I could have caught you sooner. You see? Five lives might have been spared.
Lord Blackwood / Those lives were a necessity. Sacrifice. Five otherwise meaningless
creatures called to serve a greater purpose.
Sherlock Holmes / I wonder if they'd let Watson and me dissect your brain. After you hang, of course. I'd wager, there's some deformity that'd be scientifically significant. Then you too, could serve a greater purpose.
Lord Blackwood / Holmes, you must widen your gaze. I'm concerned, you underestimate
the gravity of coming events. You and I are bound together on a journey
that will twist the very fabric of nature. But beneath your mask of logic
I sense a fragility... that worries me. Steel your mind, Holmes. I need you.
Sherlock Holmes / I'd say, you've come a long way down from a house of Lords.
Lord Blackwood / Then I will rise again.
Sherlock Holmes / Bon voyage.
Lord Blackwood / Pay attention! Three more will die and there is nothing you can do to save them. You must accept that this is beyond your control or by the time you realise you made all of this possible it will be the last sane thought in your head.
Inspector Lestrade / What did he want?
Sherlock Holmes / I'm not sure. But I don't think you're needed father. Not for this one.
Judge / Lord Henry Blackwood, you are sentenced to death for the practice of black magic, the unholy murder of five innocent young women and the
attempted murder of a sixth. Do you have any final words?
Lord Blackwood / Death... is only the beginning.
