Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game (2018 Video Game)

Anthony Howell: Edward Pierce

Quotes 

• Leviathan : Mr Pierce. The Truth seeker. We meet at last.

  Edward Pierce : Who's there?

  [His cell fills with water] 

  Leviathan : [Materializes as a human outline]  I am the one men named "Leviathan." Not because of the scale of my terrestrial form, but as a reminder of this immensity of my knowledge. Which I came to share with you, human.

• Stephen Webster : Sir, I came here on the advice of a person whom I hold in high esteem. And I must say I expected anything but a drunkard's lair.

  Edward Pierce : You're free to leave anytime, sir.

  Stephen Webster : Do you know to whom you speak?

  Edward Pierce : Stephen Webster. Industrialist and art collector. All of Boston knows you.

  Stephen Webster : Tell me, Mr Pierce are you capable of handling a new case or are you simply a dead beat inebriate?

  Edward Pierce : If you've come to me, it means you're desperate.

  Stephen Webster : Nobody believes me! They take me for an old fool! Sarah, my little girl. She is dead. Even you must know of her, she was Sarah Hawkins.

  Edward Pierce : The painter? Yes, everyone knows her work.

  Stephen Webster : The police accuse her of killing her family. They all died in a fire. Sarah, her husband and Simon, my grandson.

  Edward Pierce : I can't do anything for a woman who is already dead.

  Stephen Webster : Find out the truth. They say she was mad, but I know that's a lie. She would never have done such a thing.

  Edward Pierce : But if you have no proof...

  Stephen Webster : I've brought all that I have. Look. I want you to look carefully at this painting. Tell me all the assumptions that come to mind.

  [He rests a haunting portrait on the sofa] 

  Edward Pierce : What am I supposed to find?

  Stephen Webster : Tell me if this is the work of madness. Or if on the contrary you manage to detect some logic, a rationality to follow so that I may understand it.

  Edward Pierce : Is that all you want from me?

  Stephen Webster : Yes, please.

  Edward Pierce : Alright. I'll look at your picture. That's all you've got? A painting?

  Stephen Webster : I've placed a file on your desk. It contains everything I have on the affair.

• James Fitzroy : Welcome to Darkwater Island, Mr Pierce.

  Edward Pierce : Why thank you, Captain Fitzroy.

  James Fitzroy : So, what wind bought you?

  Edward Pierce : Does the Hawkins case mean anything to you?

  James Fitzroy : A sad story we'd all prefer to forget. Charles Hawkins may have been a landlubber, but he was a good man.

  Edward Pierce : And his wife, Sarah Hawkins?

  James Fitzroy : A nice young woman, and a great painter. What a tragedy. You know what? Go have a drink at The Stranded Whale. What you need is a good pick me up. Mitchell may not be very welcoming, but his bar holds a surprise for you. As for me, you'll find me at the harbormaster's office. If it's the Hawkins family that brings you here, I have a pile of documents that should interest you.

  Edward Pierce : Understood, I'm going for a look around the docks.
