Honestly? Yeah, I would like for you to do all that. Maybe go back to England, and go back to solving every single case that you get your hands on. That's a good life, I think.
... But no, I don't think you'd do that. You're too nosy and stubborn. And you have way too much pride, and apparently you care a little too much.
[ He sighs. ]
You really can walk away. I can't. And that's why I want to ask you something. If I reveal anything to you-- any ounce of information that I have, you need to say yes or no. If I tell you that I need to handle something on my own, or that I can't reveal something to you, would you honestly comply with my wishes? You won't investigate what I'm doing, or disrespect my wishes? I admit, I have a lot of help with what I do, especially now. But they all know when to step back.

Can you do that?
