S1 E15Unfinished Business

[John's current girlfriend, Jeanette, offers Sherlock a drink]

No thank you Sarah.

[hurriedly trying to turn her away] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. He’s not good with names.

No-no-no, I can get this. No, Sarah was the doctor; and then there was the one with the spots; and then the one with the nose; and then ... who was after the boring teacher?

JJeanette

Nobody.

Jeanette! [grins falsely at her] Ah, process of elimination.

How’s the hip?

Ooh, it’s atrocious, but thanks for asking.

I’ve seen much worse, but then I do post-mortems.

[awkward silence]

Oh, God. Sorry.

Don't make jokes Molly.

No. Sorry. [Lestrade hands her a glass of red wine] Thank you. I wasn’t expecting to see you. I thought you were gonna be in Dorset for Christmas.

That’s first thing in the morning, me and the wife. We’re back together. It’s all sorted.

[offhandedly] No, she's sleeping with a P.E. teacher.

[Lestrade’s smile becomes rather fixed. Molly turns to John]

And John. I hear you’re off to your sister’s, is that right?

Yeah.

Sherlock was complaining- [gets a dirty look from Shelock] -Saying...

First time ever, she’s cleaned up her act. She’s off the booze.

[offhandedly] Nope.

Shut up Sherlock.

I am really sorry.

JJeanette

You know, my friends are so wrong about you.

JJeanette

You're a great boyfriend.

[surprised] Okay, that’s good. I mean, I always thought I was great.

JJeanette

And Sherlock Holmes is a very lucky man.

[groans] Jeanette please-

JJeanette

No, I mean it. It’s heart-warming. You’ll do anything for him – and he can’t even tell your girlfriends apart.

No, I’ll do anything for you. Just tell me what it is I’m not doing. Tell me!

JJeanette

Don’t make me compete with Sherlock Holmes.

I’ll walk your dog for you. Hey, I’ve said it now. I’ll even walk your dog-

JJeanette

I don't have a dog!

No, because that was...the last one. Okay.

JJeanette

Jesus!

[Jeanette storms out]

I'll call you!

JJeanette

No!

Okay.

[John turns back to face the rest of the room]

That really wasn’t very good, was it?

[A body at the morgue, face beyond recognition. Sherlock asks to view the full corpse, instantly identifies the naked body as Irene Adler's, and leaves.]

[to Mycroft]: How did Sherlock recognise her from -- not her face?

Look at them. They all care so much. Do you ever wonder if there's something wrong with us?

All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock.

[Neilson and his CIA agents have Mrs Hudson at gunpoint]

Oh, Sherlock!

Don't snivel, Mrs Hudson. It will do nothing to impede the flight of a bullet. What a tender world that would be.

NONote On Sherlock's Door

CRIME IN PROGRESS. PLEASE DISTURB.

[on the phone] Lestrade? We've had a break-in at Baker Street. Send your least irritating officers and an ambulance. Oh, no-no-no-no, we're fine. No, it's the burglar. He's got himself rather badly injured. Oh, a few broken ribs, fractured skull, suspected punctured lung. He fell out of a window.

[Cuts to Mrs Hudson's downstairs flat, where John is cleaning her face]

Oh, it stings. [Neilson falls past the window and crashes on top of a dumpster] Oh, that was right on my bins. [Neilson is heard groaning in agony]

[Cuts to police officers and paramedics congregating outside as an ambulance leaves and Sherlock stands by Lestrade on the sidewalk]

DLDI Lestrade

And exactly how many times did he fall out the window?

Oh, it's all a bit of a blur, Detective Inspector. I lost count.

[After Mrs Hudson has been attacked]

She'll have to sleep upstairs in our flat tonight. We need to look after her.

Nonsense, she's fine.

No she's not, look at her! She's got to take some time away from Baker Street. She can go and stay with her sister. [To Mrs Hudson] Doctor's orders.

Don't be absurd.

She's in shock, for God's sake, and all over some bloody stupid camera phone! Where is it, anyway?

Safest place I know.

[Mrs Hudson pulls the phone out from the front of her blouse]

You left it in the pocket of your second best dressing gown, you clot. [Hands the phone to Sherlock] I managed to sneak it out when they thought I was having a cry.

Thank you. Shame on you, John Watson!

Shame on me?

Mrs Hudson, leave Baker Street? England would fall!
