A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
Sherlock shoots him a look, then looks back up at the opened window in the college building. SHERLOCK So, the shooter. No sign of him. LESTRADE Cleared off by the time we got
here. A guy like that would’ve had enemies, I suppose. One of them could’ve been following him. But we’ve got nothing to go on ... SHERLOCK Oh, I wouldn’t say that ... LESTRADE (Wearily - here we go again) Okay, gimme! The bullet they just dug out the wall was from a hand gun. A kill shot over that distance from that kind of weapon - that’s a crack shot you’re looking for. But not just a marksmen, a fighter - his hand couldn’t have shaken at all, so clearly he’s acclimatised to violence. He didn’t fire ‘til I was in immediate danger, though. So, strong moral principles. You’re looking for a man probably with a history of military service and nerves of steel --
He’s pulled out his notebook. SHERLOCK
And he breaks off. Staring. Sherlock’s POV. Across the other side, of the cordoned area, surrounded by flashing blue lights and hurrying policemen -- Dr. John Watson. A real hero shot. He’s just standing,
there, watching - quiet, reserved, military. Sherlock just stares for a moment. Oh my God. SHERLOCK Actually, you know what - ignore me. LESTRADE I’m sorry. SHERLOCK Ignore all that. It’s the shock talking!

He’s already heading over to John.
