Sherlock Holmes: You know Magnussen as a newspaper owner, but he is so much more than that. He uses his power and wealth to gain information. The more he acquires, the greater his wealth and power, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that he knows the critical pressure point on every person of note or influence in the whole of the Western world and probably beyond. He is the Napoleon of blackmail, and he's created an unassailable architecture of forbidden knowledge. Its name is Appledore.Dr. John Watson: Dinner.Sherlock Holmes: Sorry, what? Dinner?Dr. John Watson: Me and Mary coming for... dinner with... wine and... sitting.Sherlock Holmes: Seriously? I've just told you that the Western world is run from this house, and you want to talk about dinner?Dr. John Watson: Fine. Talk about the house.Sherlock Holmes: It is the greatest repository of sensitive and dangerous information anywhere in the world, the Alexandrian library of secrets and scandals, and none of it is on a computer. He's smart. Computers can be hacked. It's all on hard copy in vaults underneath that house; and, as long as it is, the personal freedom of anyone you've ever met is a fantasy.
