A scene from Sherlock Holmes 2009
Sherlock Holmes

[Holmes & Watson are searching Luke Reordan's apartment]

There's one odour I can't put my finger on. Is it candy floss, molasses… maple syrup? Ah! Barley sugar. [Watson turns around to see two of Blackwood's henchmen enter, one holding a …]

John Watson

Toffee apple.

Sherlock Holmes

[eyes the second thug's gasoline can]

Let me guess … judging by your arsonist's tool kit, you're here to burn down the building, and extinguish all evidence therein.

First Thug

Just one minute, boys! [calls] Oh, Dredger!

Dredger

[Dredger enters, Holmes and Watson look up … and up]

Il y a un problème? ["Is there a problem?"]

Sherlock Holmes

[pointing his cane to Dredger and then to the thugs]

Meat … or potatoes?

John Watson

My ten minutes are up.

Sherlock Holmes

[The three thugs attack them; Watson takes on the two short thugs while Holmes engages Dredger; Dredger grabs Holmes by the neck and throws him across a table into a wall; after this, Holmes staggers to his feet]

Un moment, s'il vous plaît … ["One moment, please."]

Dredger

Je ne suis pas pressé. ["I'm in no hurry."]
[Holmes whacks Dredger with a pipe until he accidentally strikes a column; Holmes manages to grab an odd copper wand-like object; when he puts the tips to Dredger's chest, it sends Dredger flying backwards and straight through a wall; Holmes gets to his feet, and after recharging the taser-wand, he hears sounds from behind the wall; eventually, we hear a few crashes, and Dredger shoves open two other doors, carrying a small knife]

Dredger

[rising unsteadily to his feet]

Un moment, s'il vous plaît … ["One moment, please …"]

John Watson

[Holmes uses the taser to send an electric shock through a pipe to a knife that Dredger is holding, causing him to go flying backwards against the thug that is holding Watson at knifepoint, crushing the thug; Holmes then blows out a bit of smoke from the taser] [in surprise]

Holmes, what is that?

Sherlock Holmes

Je ne sais pas. ["I don't know."]
