Hello?
Yes, I'm coming to get him in...
I'm sorry. Did you say "He escaped."?
Hi, it's Joan Watson.
On the off chance you haven't already been contacted by Hemdale.
Your son left rehab a little early this morning.
I'm already at his house, to see if he is here.
I'll call you if there is a problem.
Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr...
Hello?
Excuse me, Mr...
My name is Joan Watson.
I've been hired by your father, to be your sober companion.
He told me he was going to e-mail you about me.
I'm here to make the transition from your rehab...
experience to the routine of your everyday life,
as smooth as possible.
So I will be living with you for the next six weeks. Which means...
I'll be available to you 24/7.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I know what you're thinking.
The world is a cynical place and I must be a cynical man...
thinking a woman like you
would fall for a line like that.
The thing is... it isn't a line.
So please hear me when I say this...
I have never loved anyone as I do you right now...
in this moment.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I know what you're thinking.
The world is a cynical place,
and I must be a cynical man thinking a woman like you

The thing is... it isn't a line.
So please...
hear me when I say this...
I have never loved anyone...
as I do you right now...
in this moment.
Spot on!
Sherlock Holmes.
Please don't get comfortable, we won't be here long.
Mr. Holmes, did your father tell you about me or not?
Uh... he emailed,
said to expect some sort of addict-sitter.
Then he explained his conditions with respect to your sobriety?
If you mean his threats to evict me from this,
the shoddiest and the least renovated from the 5...
count them, 5 properties he owns in New York, then, yeah.
And yeah he made his conditions quite clear.
I used, I wind up on the street.
I refuse your, quote-unquote, "Help," i wind up on the street.
It's my understanding that most sober companions
are recovering addicts themselves, but...
you've never had a problem with drugs or alcohol.
- Your father told you. - Of course he didn't.
Uh, would you care to explain why you broke out of your rehab facility
the same day you're being released?
Bored.
You were bored?
No, I am bored right now. Happens often. You'll get used to it.
Regarding our mutual friends at Hemdale,
I'd say they should be thanking me for exposing the flaws
in their rubbish security system, wouldn't you?
Excellent!
There was a women leaving, just as I got here...
Did she get you high?
About six feet.
I actually find sex repellent.
All those fluids and all the sounds,
but my brain and my body
require it to function at optimum levels,
so... I feed them as needed.
You're a doctor, you understand.
I'm not a doctor.
You were a doctor, surgeon, judging by your hands.
Is your car parked nearby?
Yes, it's just out there.
How did you know I had a car?
Parking ticket, fell out of your purse when you dropped it.
Can't have one without the other, can you?
We're late, we need to get going.
Err... late for what?
Actually, scratch the car.
Manhattan Bridge is down to a single lane.
We'll take the tube instead.
Look at this place... yuck.
I can't wait for you to tidy it.
Prior to my stint in junkie jail,
I worked as a consultant at Scotland Yard.
Your father told me. He said you were a detective?
I was a consultant. I wasn't paid for my services,
and therefore I answered to no one but myself.
What about London?
What about it?
He told me that's where you bottomed out.
He thinks something happened to you there,
he just doesn't know what.
Handsome woman, your mother.
It's very big of her to take your dad back after the affair.
How could you possibly...?
You still haven't told me where we're going yet.
About that,
I think you and father will be pleased to hear
I have devised a post-rehab regimen for myself
that'll keep me quite busy.
I've decided to resume my work as a consultant here
in New York.
Tell me...
- How do clients typically introduce. - What do you mean?
I mean, I find it hard to believe they'd actually tell someone
they've been assigned a glorified helper monkey.
Helper-monkey?
Well you and I have what's known as companion-client confidentiality,
which means that you can introduce me however you like:
friend, coworker, relative and I'll play along.
But, to be honest, most clients just call me
their companion.
Captain Gregson...
Holmes!
- How are you doing? - Miss Watson,
This is Captain Gregson, Captain Gregson
this is Miss Watson my personal valet.
How do you do?
She waits out here.
I'm afraid she's quite crucial to my process, captain.
It's okay, really.
Actually it isn't.
