"I know enough," Joan says. She really doesn't know everything, and doubts that she ever will. She doesn't deny that Moriarty is brilliant, that her mind is complex in its depths. She was just able to recognize the woman's weakness. That she would take a chance, expose herself to swoop in and save Sherlock when he was at his weakest.

"I don't expect you to lie to me. I do expect you to try to manipulate me. I don't blame you for trying. I'm just telling you now, it won't work."

She looks up at the man guarding them. "Maybe next time they can handcuff you to the table, and then we can shake on it. For now your word is good enough." As much as that means. She doesn't trust Moriarty as far as she can spit her, but if she can help them save lives, then she'll give this a try.

"Manipulate you?" Moriarty's smile is completely sincere in its insincerity. "If there was anything else that I wanted, I would have asked for it." Or at least nothing that wouldn't have been shot down before she'd finished saying it, and she suspects that list is quite short.

"But I'm not answering any of your questions until you make good on your end of the bargain." She's not worried that any of this will redeem her, but who would have guessed that saving lives would be the least boring part of her day?

"I'll have the materials to you by tomorrow morning, and we'll talk again tomorrow night."

She nods to the guard who has been standing silently by the door. "I think we're done here."
