A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SHERLOCK You risked your life four times ... just to kill strangers? Why? TAXI DRIVER Time to play. SHERLOCK I am playing. This is my go. There’s shaving foam behind your ear, and no one’s pointed it to you.
FLASHBACK: closer on the ear. SHERLOCK
There are traces where it’s happened before, so clearly you live alone - there’s no one to tell you.
FLASHBACK: the photograph. SHERLOCK
But you have photographs of children. The children’s mother has been cut out the photograph - if she’d died, she’d still be there.
The photograph is old, but the frame is new. You think of your children, but you don’t get to see them. Estranged father, she took the kids, but you still love them, and it still hurts. On the Taxi Driver. On the back foot now, nailed. SHERLOCK Oh, but there’s more! Your clothes are freshly laundered, but kamikaze murder spree, what’s that about? Ah! Three years ago, is that when they told you? TAXI DRIVER Told me what? And over the TAXI DRIVER the word DYING in black. Pulses, fades. SHERLOCK That you’re a dead man walking. On the Taxi Driver. A moment to recover. TAXI DRIVER So are you. everything you’re wearing is at least three years old. Keeping up appearances, but not planning ahead. And here you are, on a
99.
