ANOTHER ANGLE:

Holmes surveys the scene AT A DISTANCE, out of sight.

Eyes alive with intelligence, processing angles when --

A HEAVY HAND falls on his shoulder. PULL BACK to

reveal --

(The following exchange in whispers.)

HOLMES:

Watson. Perfect timing.

WATSON:

Nice hat.

HOLMES:

Just got it. Where's Lestrade?

WATSON:

Getting his troops in formation.

Is that your blood or theirs?

HOLMES:

I don't know. It's an old shirt.

WATSON:

You left this behind.

Watson hands him his pistol. Holmes looks at it with

distaste, doesn't take it.

HOLMES:

Knew I'd forgotten something.

Thought I'd left the stove on.

WATSON:

You did.

HOLMES:

Right. Shall we?

This is what they do. This is what they like.

CUT TO:

ANOTHER ANGLE:

The two HARD MEN on guard turn fast and gather together

as they hear footsteps approaching.

He can see the hat, but not the man underneath.

WATSON:

Yeah, s'me.

Watson takes out the two men. He is more of a brawler,

using headbutts, knees, and elbows. Less artful, but no

less effective.
