EXT. THE BAD PART OF LONDON - DAY

SHERLOCK HOLMES and JOHN WATSON are beating up COMMON THUGS left and right.

It is clear that they have been at it for hours, because they are both exhausted...

...and there are dozens of unconscious thugs all around them.

JOHN

They just keep coming!

SHERLOCK

Getting tired yet, John?

JOHN

(gasping for air)

Not on your life!

Suddenly, the thugs' cell phones all go off at once.

They all stop attacking and check their phones.

Once they see the message, they all scurry.

Sherlock manages to grab one of them by the collar.

SHERLOCK

Who sent you?!

THUG

You know very well!

Sherlock lets the thug go.

The thug runs off.

Sherlock and John both try to catch their breath as badly beaten thugs moan all around them.

JOHN

Are you okay?

SHERLOCK

Yeah. You?

JOHN

Yeah.

SHERLOCK

That must have been Moriarty. I wouldn't be surprised if he was also responsible for the bus disaster that we came here to investigate. I owe you an apology, John. I thought that this case was going to be boring!

JOHN

Why do you suppose Moriarty would cause a bus disaster, then corner us here and send wave after wave of thugs at us?

SHERLOCK

The question is why did he call them back?

JOHN

That reminds me, I'd better check my phone for messages.

SHERLOCK

Yeah. I suppose I should too.

They both check their phones.

JOHN

I have over four hundred texts!

SHERLOCK

Me too!

JOHN

They're all from Mary!

SHERLOCK

Mine too!

JOHN

Wow. That is some really colourful language she's using!

SHERLOCK

Mine all just say "Where are you?" and "Get John to the hospital now!"
