For anyone struggling with the dialogue, here’s a quick transcript.
Transcript by Ariane DeVere aka Callie Sullivan. (Last updated 7 October 2015)
SHERLOCK: The stage is set; the curtain rises; we are ready to begin.
WOMAN: You promised to keep him safe. You promised!
JOHN: Well, Holmes? Surely you must have some theory.
SHERLOCK: We all have a past, Watson. Ghosts – they’re the shadows that define our every sunny day. Every great cause has martyrs; every war has suicide missions; and make no mistake – this is war.
MAN: Why are you doing this? Tell me who you are!
JOHN: What made you like this?
SHERLOCK: Oh, Watson. Nothing made me. I made me.
WOMAN [who sounds like Loo Brealey to me]: Who are you? I demand you speak! Who are you?
SHERLOCK: The name is Sherlock Holmes and the address is two hundred and twenty-one B Baker Street.
JOHN: Little use, us, standing here in the dark. After all, this is the nineteenth century.
SHERLOCK: I have to finish this.
JOHN (handing Sherlock a deerstalker hat): This one.
SHERLOCK: Why?
JOHN: You’re Sherlock Holmes. Wear the damn hat.
