Natalie Dormer credited as playing...
Jamie Moriarty
- Irene Adler: My first instinct was to kill you. Quietly. Discreetly. But then, the more I learned about you, the more curious I became. Here, at last, seemed to be a mind that... that rivaled my own, something too complicated and too beautiful to destroy... at least without further analysis.
- Irene Adler: I would never kill you. Not in a million years. You may not be as unique as you thought, darling, but you're still a work of art. I appreciate art. What I can do - what I *will* do is hurt you, worse than I did before. I have reserves of creativity I haven't even begun to tap. So please, for your own good, let me win.

- Irene Adler: This isn't how or when I wanted to reveal myself to you. But Mr. Proctor forced the issue.
- Sherlock Holmes: [lying on the floor suffering from a gunshot wound] This is a ruse. You... So who was the man I spoke to on the phone who, uh, said he was Moriarty?
- Irene Adler: You talked to one of my lieutenants. He has, over the years, played the role repeatedly and with great conviction. More often than not it was to protect my identity. Other times it was because I suspected a potential client might... struggle... with my gender. As if men have a monopoly on murder.
