The script for the Active watching + post-watching activity 4

Holmes’ memory:

This is beyond your control.

Sheer bloody panic, sir. Panic.

- It's Lord Blackwood, sir.

- I've never been in over my head.

It's nothing to do with me,

but I advise you leave the case alone.

- Solve this.

- Are you, Holmes?

Accept that this was beyond your control.

- Tomorrow, at midday, the world will end.

- I've got a public in frenzy.

Holmes !

Widen your gaze.

You must widen your gaze.

Widen your gaze.

You and I are bound together on a journey

that will twist the very fabric of nature.

Steel your mind, Holmes.

Widen your gaze.

He's gonna raise a force

that will alter the world.

- His power grows daily.

- This is the source of his power.

I need you.

His secret lies in the book of spells.

Three more will die ...

... and there is nothing you can do

to save them.

We know you don't believe in magic.

Reordan was working with Blackwood.

Is that better ?

He clearly felt something

was coming to get him.

His eyes were wide open

and the only thing missing was his ring.

Give up, Holmes.

This is a riddle you cannot solve.

Adele: Good morning.

Now, you need to work.

Familiar artwork.

Watson:

You look gorgeous.

Holmes:

Somehow I knew you wouldn't leave.

A:You made the front page.

H: Only a name and no picture.

A: So it looks like you'll be needing to

work outside the law now ...

... and that's my area of expertise.

H: I feel safer already.

You seem to be making a rapid recovery.

W:Yes.

Took the shrapnel out myself.

Mary said I had a lousy doctor.

H: Well, I'm ...

... I'm just so ...

... very glad that you're ...

... well ...

... with us.

Now that you're sitting comfortably,

I shall begin.

My initial approach was far too narrow.

When Blackwood invited me

to Pentonville Prison ...

... he suggested I widen my gaze

and, at minimum, I have done just that.

In fact, I may well have reconciled

thousands of years of theological disparity.

But that's for another time.

Blackwood's method is based on

a ritualistic mystical system ...

... that's been employed by the

Temple of the Four Orders for centuries.

To fully understand the system,

to get inside it ...

... I reenacted the ceremony

we interrupted at the crypt ...

... with a few enhancements of my own.

My journey took me somewhat further down

the rabbit hole than I had intended ...

... and though I dirtied my fluffy white tail,

I have emerged enlightened.

The fraternity who silently control

the empire ...

... share the belief with the kings,

pharaohs and emperors of old ...

... that the sphinx was a door

to another dimension.

A gateway to immeasurable power.

It's made up of four parts:

the foot of a lion, the tail of an ox ...

... the wings of an eagle,

and the head of a man.

In Sir Thomas's secret chamber,

I found the bone of an ox ...

... the tooth of a lion, the feather of an eagle

and hair of a man.

The points of the star on this map  represent

the five murdered girls ...

... but the cross

is what we're now interested in.

It's a widely held belief ...

... that within the architecture

of the great cities ...

... are coded references to this system.

Since he rose from the grave,

Blackwood has killed three men ...

... each committed at a location

that has a connection with the temple.

Therefore, the system.

Reordan, the ginger midget,

represents man.

We found his body here.

Sir Thomas, master of the temple,

wore the ox ring.

He died here.

Standish, ambassador to America ...

... where the eagle has been

the national emblem for over hundred years.

The headquarters of the Temple

of the Four Orders where he died ...

... is here.

Correspondingly, the map will tell us

the location of Blackwood's final act.

So we have man, the ox, eagle.

Only the lion remaining.

Right here.

W: Parliament.

H: Right.

What does The Order want to do? Why were people killed? Than, watch the scene. Your students now know what is it about, so it won’t be a great problem for them to understand the speech. After watching you can discus: What was Watson’s reaction? Was it a real magic?	Worksheets – individually. See attachment 2.	In discussion try to use English mainly.
