Sanctuary · Season 1
You know, I don't know you from Adam, but my Mom says you're her Dad and that makes you my... my grandpa. And that gives me the right to tell you that you're one cranky, ungrateful sack.
Hey, you be careful young lady!
My mother worshiped you! She makes it sound like you were the smartest man in the world.
Not smart enough, apparently.
We all have the impulse for violence; the true measure of a species, indeed, of a person, is in our restraint.
I say we tranq them, stuff ‘em in a crate. Wake them when we’re done.
You know, I’m right here. I can totally hear you.
It’s incredibly valuable intact. If we can’t do it without more collateral damage, I think we should try.
And if not?
People are dead. If we have to, we kill it.
Okay. Good. We have a Plan B, I feel better.
What’d you find out?
Um, it made a nest and it’s supposedly older than the dinosaurs or something and, oh, it’s from Japan.
About them.
Oh! I don’t know, they’re cool, they’re smart, and the blond one is totally hot.
We winged it with a couple of tranqs.
You think it’s unconscious?
To be honest, I think we just made it angrier.
That’ll be the police. Good timing, as usual.
Ah, them we can handle.
I figure the best way to deflect them is to put something together that doesn’t show anything incriminating, that keeps you guys and that… thing… out of it.
That’s everything on there.
I can re-edit it to look like a community square dance if you give me enough time.
I’m just saying. Chicks love dudes who go on missions.
Have a good career.
Not often I use a front door; quite the novelty.
You're not welcome here, Druitt. You know that.
You have frostbite.
It's certainly not a reflection on your hospitality.
You haven't changed a bit.
Since last Fall in London?
Since Spring of 1886.
Coming from such a keen observer, I'll take that as a compliment.
So you don't mean that your Dr. Watson really is Sherlock Holmes?
Not the literary figure, of course. But, yes, Conan Doyle did model the character after James' brilliant deductive mind.
So why did he get relegated to the sidekick in the stories?
At Watson's insistence; he preferred to let Holmes take center stage while he played the fawning acolyte in the wings.
Most men's failures haunt them for a lifetime; mine have haunted me for two.
What failure?
The Ripper Case; it confounded me like no other.
You came close, James. You don't know how close.
Night after night, I poured my insights out to you, never knowing that the target of my manhunt was the man who dissected my suppositions.
I was in the grip of something I couldn't control. I think you know that.
The fact remains, you gave the lie to all my bravado. You shattered my belief that I could see beyond what a mere mortal could.
