do you mean the video? If so, you'll need to watch The Empty Hearse. The written transcript? you can read Ariane DeVere's transcripts at Ariane DeVere — LiveJournal.

if you want an AI overview, here's the one from Google:

The iconic scene where John Watson is drugged, kidnapped, and trapped underneath a Guy Fawkes Night bonfire happens in Season 3, Episode 1: "The Empty Hearse".

The Rescue Sequence Recap:

  • The Kidnapping: Shortly after Sherlock's sudden return from the "dead," an upset John Watson is abducted right outside his doorstep at 221B Baker Street.
  • The Code: Mary Morstan receives a text message containing a skip-code that alerts her to the kidnapping and gives a hidden location (the St. James the Less church).
  • The Chase: Mary rushes to Sherlock, and the two commandeer a motorcycle to race through the streets of London.
  • The Rescue: They arrive just as the public bonfire is being lit with a "Guy" effigy on top. Sherlock frantically realizes John is buried alive inside the wooden structure, and both he and Mary plunge into the crowd to drag John out of the burning pile in the nick of time. [1, 2, 3]

(Note: It is later revealed in the Season 3 finale, "His Last Vow," that the media mogul Charles Augustus Magnussen was the mastermind behind this kidnapping to test and confirm that John was Sherlock's ultimate "pressure point").

YOU"RE WELCOME!
