Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Page #6

---

Be nice.

I'm sorry you did get to Brighton.

Me too.

I think we should go home.

I concur.

We're going home.

Via Switzerland.

What better place to start a

war... than a peace summit?

We'll drop in and see my brother,

I'm sure he's missed you.

I still do not understand why you

simply don't cancel the summit

The fact is it's gonna happen

weither we like it or not.

Everyone has already arrived.

While ladies and gentlemen may be talking peace,

Believe me they're readying their armies at home

To cancel the summit now,

would be tentamental war.

The telegram wasn't it clear?

We have doubled the security, sir.

Oh doubled security?, Thats confident

You can't understand the

delicacy the situation.

I passes the telegram on to my superiors,

but they were the ones who have brought Moriarty

To advice on the peace process

in the first place

He has positioned himself brilliantly

As one of our formost intellectuals,

he's a personal friend of the prime minister

Personal friend of the Prime Minister, Yes..

We all know that

I believe you.....

But where's your evidence?

He's too good to leave evidence....

He doesn't leave loose ends.

Ohh he's alive!

Sherly, Put that down!

What is this contraption?

May I have it?

The effect is most invigorating.

It is my private and

personal supply of oxygen.

And your not to touch it

This argument is getting us nowhere

I've arranged doctuments to be prepared

which will allow you into the ball.

-Carruthers?

-Stanley?

Stanley?

You haven't aged a day

Is that my favorite Chutney?

The fact is...

We don't really know what he's planning,

It won't be another bomb.

It wouldn't be another bomb.

That doesn't make sense.

Why would attack all nations,

Only to unite them?

It shall be an assassination.

By a lone gunman.

At close range.

Rene.

Unfortunately yes..

you knew ?

I had my suspicions.

But now I see who will be

attending, I'm now certain.

Well... At least we know

who to look out for.

Rene will be the evidence.

If we find him and stop him, we will

perhaps not only save his life,

But prevent the collapse of

western civilization.

No pressure ...

Welcome Ambassador.

Professor James Moriarty.

Now we're all present,

I can tell you the targets,

Are the German Chancellor and his ambassador,

The french Prime Minister and his man

And the other nations are really

working out which side to take,

Should hostilities erupt.

As Prince Michael is a cousin of the Tsar

and the Russian ambassador,

Archduke Karl Ludwig, and the

austro-Hungarian ambassador,

Romanian Prime Minister

and his ambassador.

And of course, Our Prime Minister

and the British ambassador.

He'll chose a moment when all the dignitaries

are assembled... Preferably standing still,

Is there to be an offical photograph?

Indeed, Yes in uh 38 minutes.

Then in which case...

We might as well dance.

I've never done this before.

Just.. follow.. my... lead...

What do you see?

Everything.

That is my curse.

But you don't see what you are looking for.

I thought you'd never ask

Over my shoulder, Young man,

German uniform, ceremonial sword.

Got it

Professional opinion?

Trauma ... Major injury

Excellent repair work,

Dr. Hoffmanstahl.

You did say he was at the forefront

of medical inovation

Before you'd seen an example of his skills

Those twins weren't twins.

My suspicions where arroused in Heilbron,

When one failed to go to the aid of the other.

I also noticed a descrete but

unmistakable puckering behind the ear

Where his skin was had been drawn back.

I should've realized it then, That

they were a surgical experiment.

To see if it's possible to

make one man look like another?

His face is no longer his own.

What better way to guarantee his

world war than to make the assassin.

One of the ambassadors.

That narrows down the

possibility to one of six...

You and Sim shall find her brother....

Of this I have no doubt.

Holmes.

You know my methods.

And I know where you'll be.

No possible solution could be more

congenial to me than this

By the way, who taught you how to dance?

You did.

Well, I've done a fine job.

Be careful.

Shall we get to work?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please

gather for the portrait.

I'm sorry, Is this a bad time?

Never better.

Would you bring that clock?

Hmpf....

We get to play that game after all...

Here we are

Don't want you to catch cold.

A five minute game?

If you think you can manage it

We both have two bishops, I may be

absent from the room... But my methods are not.

You can't mean Dr. Watson... surely?

That doesn't seem fair.

Right ...

The surgury would've left scars.

Only four of them have

the hair line to hide them.

The Ambassador that you've replaced

With Rene, Is he still alive?

Would you like me to recommend your next move?

They're all my brother's height,

Right build, But...

Their eyes,

Their eyes are wrong.

Rene has blue eyes.

He...Could be wearing glass lenses

To change the color,

In which case, His eyes would be hurting.

Rene is left handed.

Perhaps the assassin would take measures

to ensure he doesn't give himself away

Like a gambler... Concealing a tell

I think... it might be him.

You think?

You clock is ticking.

You have to be sure.

May I remind you this is blitz chess,

A single miscalculation will cost you the game.

If tackle the wrong man to the ground,

I could start a war.

Maybe it's less obvious... A nervous tic.

A flutter of anxiety.

I'd expect everyone has a reason to be nervous tonight.

I don't know.

So perhaps it's the opposite,

A failure to behave naturally.

An actor so consumed with his performance that..

The one characteristic he can not accommodate,

Is spontaneous reaction.

Speaking french Brother.

Speaking french I beg you.

Speaking french Sorry, sister.

Carruthers... Protect the Prime Minister

Ahhhhhhh.......

Germany will pay... Mark my word.

That doesn't boat well does it?

Seems your bishop was of some benefit.. after all

The game is still young.

Actually it's in it adolescence.

I'm one of us..

Hmmmmm...

Germany will pay!

No loose ends.

What happened....I am a doctor, A Doctor!

Speaking french Brother!

-It's curare, What's wrong with him...?

-It's poison

Do something!

Do something!

I... think you've just lost

your most valuable piece.

A winning strategy sometimes

necessitates sacrifice.

You see ...

Hidden within the unconscious.....

Is an insatiable desire for conflict.

So your not... fighting me,

So much as you are the human condition.

All I want to do is to is...

Own the bullets and bandages.

War... on an industrial scale is inevitable.

They'll do it themselfs within few years.

All I have to do...

Is wait.

I... like Switzerland.

They respect a man's privacy here.

Particularly if he has a fortune

Bishop takes knight to check.

The game is over,

You should get that shoulder looked at.

About that fortune of yours...

I believe it's just... been substantially reduced
