The Doctor & Sherlock salute the audience… [X]
My dear Watson Source [X]
I write these few lines through the courtesy of Mr. Moriarty, who awaits my convenience for the final discussion of those questions which lie between us. He has been giving me a sketch of the methods by which he avoided the English police and kept himself informed of our movements. They certainly confirm the very high opinion which I had formed of his abilities. I am pleased to think that I shall be able to free society from any further effects of his presence, though I fear that it is at a cost which will give pain to my friends, and especially, my dear Watson, to you. I have already explained to you, however, that my career had in any case reached its crisis, and that no possible conclusion to it could be more congenial to me than this. Indeed, if I may make a full confession to you, I was quite convinced that the letter from Meiringen was a hoax, and I allowed you to depart on that errand under the persuasion that some development of this sort would follow. Tell Inspector Patterson that the papers which he needs to convict the gang are in pigeonhole M., done up in a blue envelope and inscribed “Moriarty.” I made every disposition of my property before leaving England and handed it to my brother Mycroft. Pray give my greetings to Mrs. Watson, and believe me to be, my dear fellow
Very sincerely yours,
Sherlock Holmes

Very sincerely yours,
Sherlock Holmes
Actual Criminal Moriarty
You’re walking ‘round the pool
There’s no one around,
And your pink phone is dead.
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him,
Moriarty.
He’s staring at you
About 30 feet away.
He looks at you, he gives you a wicked grin.
This is your first encounter.
Moriarty.
You’re sitting in your cab,
But you’re look at the screen..
He’s almost upon you now
And you can see that evil grin on his face.
My god, that man’s everywhere!
Running for your life
(From Moriarty.)
He’s brandishing a plot.
(It’s Moriarty.)
Lurking in the shadows
Consulting criminal Moriarty.
Feeding of excitement,
(Moriarty.)
Looking for fun,
(Moriarty.)
Solving other’s problems
Actual criminal Moriarty.
Now it’s a new day and you seem to have lost him,
But you’re hopelessly lost yourself.
Waiting for a madman,
You plot silently under pressure.
AHa! In your pocket,
A small vibration from your phone.
Hope!
Your hand nimbly picks it up,
It’s a text! But it’s from Moriarty!
Putting down your phone,
(Thinking, thinking.)
Walking up the staircase,
(Thinking, thinking.)
Now you’re on the rooftop,
Waiting for you, Moriarty.
Listening to the Bee Gees
(Moriarty)
But he stops as you enter,
(Moriarty.)
You’re walking up towards him.
Confronting criminal Moriarty.
Battle of wits with Moriarty,
Wrestling a gun from Moriarty
He points it at his brain stem,
Safe at last from Moriarty.
You jump down from the tall building,
Blood oozing from your wounded body.
But you have won.
You have beaten Moriarty.

He’s a deconstructed and more vulnerable character who is easier to relate to and care about. But it’s a slow learning curve. He’s still staggeringly smart, violent, physically capable, irreverent, comically rude – to idiots or even anyone vaguely in his way – and dangerous
