I didn't want to leave you. I didn't have a choice.

Gun to your head?

More like in my head. It's... It's complicated.

Then uncomplicate it for me.

The hardest choices require the strongest will.

You will find our will equal to your own!

It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable.

Then I will take it off your corpse.

You're gonna tell the truth, Mycroft, pure and simple.

Who was it said 'Truth is rarely pure and never simple?'

I don't know and I don't care.

This is cleaner, more efficient.

And illegal.

A bit.

How hard do you find it, having to say 'I don't know'?

I don't know.

There are lives at stake, Sherlock. Actual human lives! Just so I know, do you care about that at all?

Will caring about them help save them?

Nope.

Then I'll continue not to make that mistake.

And you find that easy, do you?

Yes. Very. Is that news to you?

No. No.

I've disappointed you.

That's good... that's a good deduction, yeah.

Do you ever do anything the easy way?

And risk disappointing you?

Mere data makes a man. A and C and T and G. The alphabet of you. All from four symbols. I am only two: One and zero.

Half as much but twice as elegant.

I'm surprised you didn't come here sooner.

It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.

What could he do for you?

Can the maker repair what he makes?

I'm Agent Phil Coulson with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

That's quite a mouthful.

I know. We're working on it.

But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.

I don't think you could tie your shoes without me.

I'd make it a week.

Really? What's your social security number?

Five...

Five? You're missing just a couple of digits there.

The other eight? So I got you for the other eight.

The King's Jewel...

And worth a King's ransom... how is this yours to give?

I took it as my one-fourteenth share of the treasure.

Why would you do this? You owe us no loyalty.

I'm not doing it for you. I know that dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult. They're suspicious and secretive, with the worst manners imaginable. But they are also brave and kind, and loyal to a fault. I've grown very fond of them, and I would save them if I can.

I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

Well, no... and yes.

So what's your plan, then?

I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key.

And if there are crewmen?

I cut down anyone in my path.

I like it. Simple, easy to remember.
