I'm surprised we got a meeting with the managing partner so easily.
Well, I didn't identify myself as Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective, but rather Sherlock Holmes, son of Morland. He and a firm like this could do great evil things together.

I know it sounds crazy, but something about Chinese astronauts, Venezuelan toilet bombs, or gold under the pyramids has gotten everyone killed. We just have to figure out what it was.
It's no mystery. It was a Venezuelan toilet bomb.
...
I will defer to the schizophrenic who's been absolutely right about everything else. Almost makes me want to dig for gold in the Giza.
The only thing I want--the only thing I have ever wanted--was for you to be happy. Against all the odds, it happened. You didn't tell me....You made a person, Kitty, and you didn't tell me.
So [he] was shot over a guitar?
Not just any guitar. According to [his] research, the guitar once belonged to someone named Eric Clapton. Have you heard of him?
[in a warehouse with large wooden crates] Am I the only one keeping an eye out for the lost Ark of the Covenant?
It's in a warehouse in Yemen.
I was joking!
...So was I.
He's not going to run.
How the hell could you possibly know that, huh? I'm the one who talked to the guy, not you.
We know that on at least two occasions, he savagely beat his wife, and he made no attempt to flee. Why? Because he thinks that his lawyers and his money make him bulletproof. I've seen it hundreds of times.
Yeah, but we're not just trying to hang Chantal's assault on him, we're trying to hang a homicide.
Well, to a man like that, the difference is negligible.
Look, I just came by to say thanks for being my eyes and ears the last few days. And to let you know that I'm going to talk to someone, about all the stuff that came up that I obviously haven't been dealing with.
I don't presume to know the details of what your father did to you and your family. But, um... I've seen enough parental abuse to know that one thing is always the same: when someone whose job it is to nurture you, hurts you instead, it-it can't help but have a profound and lasting effect on your sense of who you are. I stopped you from beating Ukhov because I didn't want you to throw away your career, but more importantly, I didn't want you to throw away yourself. I mean, I might be this extraordinary detective, but you are an extraordinary man. And that's a far, far more precious thing... isn't it?
You don't wanna say out loud that you run SBK, we get it. But ten people are dead and two of them are kids. So if we double-pinky promise not to arrest you for saying something we all know is true, are you finally gonna start talking to us like a man?!
Just waiting for some test results.

For me?
Uh, no, someone else.
HDr. Hawes
And the reason you're waiting on my table instead of one in your house?
My mother's ghost recently set a room on fire so I've been doing most of my thinking elsewhere.
HDr. Hawes
Fine. Don't tell me.
HDr. Hawes
Holmes? Something I can help with?
Not yet. But if an autopsy is in the offing, I should know soon enough.
Whether that recovery takes weeks, or months, or if I even get better at all, he couldn't say.
Stand up.
Excuse me?
Stand up.
Watson gives Holmes a hug, but his arms remain hanging at his sides.
My personality hasn't changed, Watson.
I don't know how this guy ended up in charge of anything. He's a high school dropout and his whole life is a rap sheet.
Well, you only have to be the brightest bulb of a dim lot. Racist ideology mostly attracts failures and reprobates. Gives them a sense of elevation that they cannot otherwise justify.
I threw that away for a reason.
You did. But if you were resolved not to read it, why not put it in your shredder instead of the trash? Alternatively, there are several fireplaces in this house. You could have easily have turned it to ash.
Maybe I'm just lazy.
You most assuredly are not. In this case, I suspect you are leaving yourself room to reconsider. It was a good instinct; I advise you to follow it.
You're trying the puzzles!
Well, I recognize that, like any potent adversary, PCS is best attacked from different angles. Yesterday I helped foil an international ring of jewel thieves and today I'm assembling Unicorn Utopia, ages 8 and up.
And?
I prefer the jewel thieves.
....
When you're done with that one, I have three more downstairs. If you like Unicorn Utopia, you are gonna love Pretty Princess Party.
Gentlemen, we can only really understand six of you at a time.
