[Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson show NYPD Captain Thomas Gregson a diagram found at the murder victim's upstate cabin featuring orange dots surrounding the sun and orbiting Earth, representing asteroids in Earth's solar system]
Sherlock Holmes : These are the 5,000 or so that NASA has deemed potentially hazardous. Those whose orbits intersect with the Earth's and therefore pose a threat of cataclysmic collision. Such a collision wiped out the dinosaurs, along with most other life at the time. Any one of these dots could represent the next such event, which would be the last event in human history.
Captain Thomas Gregson : But there are only 5,000 of them, so, that's reassuring.
Sherlock Holmes : Emphasis on "potentially" hazardous, but brace yourself, because that existential knot of terror you're feeling in your stomach is about to grow tighter.
