"But you were right." "I'm not OK." "Tell me what's wrong." "I think I'm going to die. everything that I think I am... would you still want to help me?" "What do you need?" "You. and it's things that only someone close to Sherlock could know." "Ah." "Have you seen your brother's address book lately?" "Two names... yours and mine... and Moriarty didn't get this stuff from me." "your relationship?" "you and Jim?" "Your own brother and you blabbed about his entire life to this maniac." "I never intend..." "I never dreamt... isn't it?" "Watch his back because I've made a mistake." "How did you meet him?" "we watch them." "But James Moriarty... the ultimate weapon." "The key code." "A few lines of computer code that can unlock any door." "And you abducted him to try and find the key code?" "Interrogated him for weeks." "And?" "He wouldn't play along." "He just sat there staring into the darkness." "The only thing that made him open up... just a little." "But..." "In return you had to offer him Sherlock's life story." "one big lie... and people will swallow it because the rest of it's true. and you have given him the perfect ammunition." "John." "I'm sorry." "please!" "would you?" "I got your message." "we can use it." "Use it?" "He used it to create a false identity so we can break into the records and destroy Richard Brook." "Bring back Jim Moriarty again. somewhere on the day of the verdict he left it hidden." "Uh-huh." "nothing else." "Did he write anything down?" "No." "MOBILE RINGS" "Oh." "speaking." "What?" "What happened?" "Is she OK?" "I'm coming." "What is it?" "Paramedics." "Mrs Hudson's been shot." "How?" "Probably one of the killers you managed to attract." "Jesus!" "Sherlock." "Let's go." "You go." "I'm busy." "Busy?" "!" "Thinking." "I need to think." "You need to...?" "Doesn't she mean anything to you?" "You once half-killed a man because he laid a finger on her." "She's my landlady." "She's dying... you machine!" "on your own." "Alone is what I have." "Alone protects me." "friends protect people." "TEXT ALERT" "# I've been kicked around since I was born it's OK" "# You can look the other way" "# We can try to understand" "# The New York Times' effect on man" "# Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother" "# You're stayin' alive... #" "Well... here we are at last." "Sherlock." "And our problem... the final problem." "Staying alive!" "isn't it?" "It's just staying." "All my life I've been searching for distractions and you were the best distraction and now I don't even have you because I've beaten you." "it was easy." "It was easy. just like all of them." "well." "Did you almost start to wonder if I was real?" "Did I nearly get you?" "Richard Brook." "but you do." "Of course." "Attaboy." "Richard Brook in German is Reichenbach." "The case that made my name." "Just trying to have some fun." "Good." "You got that too." "Beats like digits." "every rest is a zero." "Binary code." "That's why all those assassins tried to save my life." "hidden inside my head." "A few simple lines of computer code that can break into any system." "last one to Sherlock is a sissy." "I can use it to alter all the records." "I can kill Rich Brook and bring back Jim Moriarty." "no." "This is too easy." "This is too easy." "doofus!" "Those digits are meaningless." "They're utterly meaningless." "You don't really think a couple of lines of computer code are going to crash the world around our ears?" "ordinary Sherlock." "Johann Sebastian Bach." "But then how did you..." "?" "How did I break to the prison?" "Daylight robbery!" "All it takes is some willing participants." "I knew you'd fall for it." "That's your weakness." "You always want everything to be clever." "Shall we finish the game?" "One final act." "Glad you chose a tall building." "Nice way to do it." "Do it?" "Do what?" "of course." "My suicide." "Genius detective proved to be a fraud." "I read it in the paper so it must be true." "I love newspapers." "Fairy tales." "And pretty grim ones too." "you made me jump." "Is everything OK with the police?" "Has Sherlock sorted it all out?" "my God." "Taxi!" "no." "Police... sort of!" "mate." "Thanks a lot!" "I can prove that you created an entirely false identity." "just kill yourself." "It's a lot less effort." "Go on." "For me." "Please!" "You're insane." "You're just getting that now?" "Wo-wo-wo!" "OK." "Let me give you a little extra incentive." "Your friends will die if you don't." "John?" "Not just John." "Everyone." "Mrs Hudson?" "Everyone." "three victims." "There's no stopping them now... unless my people see you jump. but nothing's going to prevent them from pulling the trigger." "Your only three friends in the world will die unless..." "Unless I kill myself and complete your story." "that's sexier." "And I die in disgrace." "Of course." "That's the point of this." "Oh." "You've got an audience now." "Off you pop." "Go on." "I told you how this ends." "Your death is the only thing that's going to call off the killers." "I'm certainly not going to do it." "please?" "One moment of privacy." "Please." "Of course." "HE LAUGHS" "What?" "!" "What is it?" "What did I miss?" "You're not going to do it. then there's a recall code or a word or a number." "I don't have to die if I've got you." "Oh!" "You think you can make me stop the order?" "You think you can make me do that?" "Yes." "your big brother and all the King's horses couldn't make me do a thing I didn't want to." "remember?" "I am you." "Prepared to do anything." "Prepared to burn." "Prepared to do what ordinary people won't do." "You want me to shake hands with you in hell?" "I shall not disappoint you." "Nah." "You talk big." "Nah." "You're ordinary." "You're ordinary." "You're on the side of the angels. but don't think for one second that I am one of them." "No... you're not." "I see." "You're not ordinary." "No." "You're me." "You're me." "Thank you..." "Sherlock Holmes." "Thank you." "Bless you." "you've got a way out." "good luck with that." "No." "sir." "Thank you." "Bye." "MOBILE DIAL TONE" "MOBILE RINGS Hello?" "Sherlock." "Are you OK?" "Turn around and walk back the way you came." "I'm coming in." "Just do as I ask!" "Please." "Where?" "Stop there." "look up." "I'm on the rooftop." "God." "so we'll just have to do it like this." "What's going on?" "An apology." "It's all true." "What?" "Everything they said about me." "I invented Moriarty." "Why are you saying this?" "I'm a fake." "Sherlock..." "The newspapers were right all along." "I want you to tell Mrs Hudson and Molly." "tell anyone who will listen to you... that I created Moriarty for my own purposes." "shut up Sherlock." "Shut up. right?" "Nobody could be that clever." "You could." "I researched you." "I discovered everything that I could to impress you." "It's a trick." "Just a magic trick." "stop it now." "No." "Stay exactly where you are." "Don't move." "All right." "Keep your eyes fixed on me." "will you do this for me?" "Do what?" "it's... it's my note." "don't they?" "Leave a note?" "Leave a note when?" "John." "No." "Don't..." "Sherlock!" "Sherlock." "Sherlock..." "Sherlock." "please." "He's my friend." "He's my friend..." "Please." "let me just..." "Jesus!" "No." "no." "There's stuff that you wanted to say... but didn't say it." "Yeah." "Say it now." "I can't." "There's all the stuff." "All the science equipment." "I left it all in boxes." "I don't know what needs doing." "I thought I'd take it to a school." "not at the moment." "I'm angry." "John." "There's nothing unusual in that." "That's the way he made everyone feel. firing guns at half past one in the morning..." "Yeah." "Bloody specimens in my fridge." "keeping bodies where there's food." "Yes." "And the fighting!" "Drove me up the wall with all his carryings-on." "OK?" "you know..." "Erm..." "Hmm." "You... you told me once... that you weren't a hero. you were... the best man... the most human... human being that I've ever known so... there." "I was so alone... and I owe you so much. don't be... dead." "Would you do that just for me?" "Just stop it." "Stop this." "Sync and corrected by {\cH00FFFF}"
