EXT. City Street - Night

Title card: Birmingham, England - 2010

Outside a pub, a group of young women whoop as they exit. As they exit, we see JOHN WATSON standing in the center of the mob. Next to him is MOLLY HOOPER. It's clear she's had a few.

MOLLY

I love Con!

The ladies yell and holler back.

MOLLY

See all you wild women tomorrow!

The women head off into the night. John and Molly walk along the street in the opposite direction.

JOHN

This really has been quite something. Molly, thank you so much for inviting me.

MOLLY

Of course John. I know you're not practicing right now, but it's still important that you keep up to date with the latest of medical thingies and techno-whatsits.

JOHN

It is, it most certainly is.

MOLLY

Plus, I think it's good if you get away from you-know-who.

JOHN

I suppose so. You were all friends in college? Petunia, Delilah, Ophelia, Corrine and you.

MOLLY

That's impressive, John. Was that one of those mental castle things?

JOHN

No, old Army trick. Ranking officers like being recognized without you reading their uniforms.

MOLLY

To answer your question, we all met during second year in our PBL Tutorial. But I wouldn't say we were friends.

JOHN

I don't understand.

MOLLY

You know, get med students together and there's going to be competition. When we get together at something like this medical conference, we tend to tout our successes at bit more.

JOHN

Is that why you asked me along? Show me off a bit?

MOLLY

Oh no, John. They have no idea who you are.

JOHN

I see. Still they're all quite-

An old man staggers out from the alley and grabs John by the coat.
