"How many of those men served in Afghanistan?" " Why?" " Hirschsprung with a touch of Tekel." "Must have fallen out when he was rolling up." "Wasn't that the blend you all smoked?" " Didn't I read something about a colonel?" " Sebastian Moran." "Best marksman in the British army." "Dishonorable discharge." "He's likely now a gun for hire." "This is the second victim of his that I've encountered." "WATSON:" "What better way to conceal a killing?" "No one looks for a bullet hole in a bomb blast." "WATSON:" "Twenty minutes late."

"The man killed by the gunshot was none other than Alfred Meinhard." "Huh." "He makes guns." "Big guns." "Only days ago, a large share of his company was bought by an unknown investor." "Moriarty."

"HOLMES:" "His habit of feeding that urban species, the feral pigeon." "COMMENTARY:" "A big part of the political fabric of our world, uh is the military-industrial complex." "And this period of industrialization very much sees the beginning of the military-industrial complex, with the big weapons manufacturers building newer, more dangerous, more powerful weapons for people to kill each other with and that's also partly what our story is about." "And I think that obviously has a great resonance for today and probably will forever, sadly." "HOLMES:" "Unfortunately, due to the bombing the crossing between France and Germany is to be closed." "I'm afraid our pursuit is over unless we can happen upon a comrade who knows their way around borders. [SOLDIERS CHATTERING]" "Are you happy?" " What?" " At this moment are you as happy as you would be on your honeymoon in Brighton?" "I'm not going to grace that question with an answer." " Are you happy?" " I think we're here for another reason." " Okay." " Shall we get on--?" " Simple question." " Will we do something?" " Or wait for them to come back round?" " What time is it?" " Three-fifteen."

"Sometimes it's a small part of the scene, sometimes it's the whole thing feels bad." "And you say, "Okay, well, what do we need to accomplish in this scene?" "What do we need to accomplish from a plot standpoint, an action standpoint from a character standpoint?"" "And then as a group we come together and we start to reconfigure it." "And, you know, more often than not it's a version of what we started the day with." "It's just far more sophisticated, humorous, detailed." "And then we furiously type it up." "We send it out to everybody, and then they kill it again." "And then we type up some more stuff, and then they kill it again." "And finally at some point in the day we have to start shooting so we lay it down and let the actors discover more stuff with Guy." "And Guy will come in and kind of adjust you know, the interaction a little bit and we end up with the scene." "Guy knows exactly what he wants." "I think he's got a very clear idea in his head." "He's particularly interested in" "Focused on tone." "It's all about the tone of a scene." "And I think one of the great, you know" "The things I like best about our films is the way we're able to go from, you know very serious emotional drama to humor within the same scene and it works seamlessly." "And we can have a good joke and have fun but there's an edge to everything, which I think is quite unique." "And I think it's what makes our films quite special, I think." "And I think Guy is really in charge of that and he understands how to do that." "I try not to make it feel like work." "So I'd like to think that we remain creative up until the very last moment." " Do it." "Yeah." " Okay." "MAN:" "That's what you get, Mr. Holmes, when industry marries arms." "Now put your gun down." "It's a bit old-fashioned." "What you need is one of these." "Go on."

"My horror at your crimes is matched only by my admiration at the skill it took to achieve them." "Who was it sent to?" "HOLMES:" "You used the anarchists and their bombs to create a crisis in Europe nation against nation. [GUNSHOT]" "MORIARTY:" "Let's try this again, shall we?" "To whom did you send the telegram?"

"The good thing about Stephen is Stephen can tell you a story which is incredibly informative and sounds sort of rather like a professor is giving you some kind of a sort of intellectual sermon."
