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 4 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. Map. The points of the star represent the 5 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 3 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 100 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. Parliament. Right. You 4 stay here and the rest of you come with me. - Get out of the way, you lowlifes! - Right this way.
