A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
A man, startling awake, sweating in his bed. A single bed in the dullest, plainest room. He sits up, calming himself, letting his breathing return to normal. Dr. John Watson. Early thirties, thickset, weathered. Something slightly dazed and pained in his eyes. He’s been through hard times, seen bad things. Looks around the room. A bare minimum of personal possessions, neatly folded clothes. The opposite wall. Leaning by the door, a walking cane. Close on John, looking at it - frowns. Fierce, resentful. INT. JOHN’S BEDSIT - DAY 2 Later - first light. Close on a coffee cup as it is set down on the desk. Panning down the desk drawer as John pulls it open, removes a laptop computer -- -- revealing something else in the drawer. A hand gun (whatever gun John would’ve had in Afghanistan.) John’s look holds on the gun for a moment, like it’s a curious temptation to him -- -- then he firmly closes the drawer. The lap top computer open at: A blog page. Closer on the Page Title: The Personal Blog Of Dr. John H. Watson -- -- panning down the screen to an empty page. The cursor winking away, expectant. We roll focus to see John’s face, reflected. Frowning. An effort of concentration. ELLA (V.O.) How’s your blog going?

Ella - a therapist - sitting opposite John Watson, her notepad out. John sits stiffly in his chair. Out of place. A little embarrassed. JOHN Oh, fine. Good. Very good. Ella looks at him, knowingly.
