[Y'know, except for the fact that Clive is OTLing on the ground.]
Clive: Unghh...
Bill Hawks: Somebody, apprehend that man at once!
[Chelmey goes to get him.]
Chelmey: You're coming with me, boy. And I don't want any trouble!
Layton: Inspector, a moment please?
Bill Hawks: Just what you do you think you're doing? This man poses an imminent threat to our national security!
Layton: I cannot deny the damage that Clive has done to our city. But we can't forget that he's also a victim of a political agenda for progress, no matter the cost.
Bill Hawks: You've got some nerve, man!
Clive: Professor, I--
Layton: Answer me one question, Clive. You knew full well I'd stand in the way of your plot. So, why did you send for me?
Clive: Dimitri was sure he needed you for his project, but I knew full well of the threat you posed to my plan. Though, I suppose I still led you all the way to the heart of my base, didn't I? At first, I was just toying with you. But at some point, I realized I was enjoying our time together. Maybe part of me wanted somebody to save me from my all-consuming madness. As you did all those years ago...
[FLASHBACK where Layton is holding a crying little Clive close to him as they stand in front of his burning apartment.]
Clive: I need to go back! My parents are still inside!
Layton: Pull yourself together, boy!
[And then he fucking slaps the poor kid.]
Layton: There's nothing to be done. Jump back in there and you'll die too!
Clive: No!
[And he cries some more. /FLASHBACK]
Layton: That...was you?
Clive: Deep down inside, I hoped you might be able to talk me down from the edge of insanity again. This is the second time you've saved my life now. Thank you.
Layton: Clive...
Clive: Don't worry about me. I intend to atone for my crimes. I look forward to the day we meet again. Until then, I hope life treats you well, Professor.
Layton: And you too, Clive.
Chelmey: Barton, take him back to headquarters.
Barton: Yes, sir!
[And the police take Clive away, who is never seen again.]
In the Real London
Luke: I think so, Professor!
