A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
RACHE. The words LEFT-HANDED pulse, float, fade - very fast, a glancing thought. Now close on the scratched word RACHE. Floating on the screen: Rache: German (n.) revenge. (This set out like dictionary entry, like he’s remembering it.) Close on Sherlock’s eyes - narrow slightly, not happy with that. The words scatter and vanish - now just the word RACHE - but different letters are being added to the end of it, spinning past, fruit machine style. Settling on: RACHEL. Now he’s kneeling by the body. Runs a hand over the coat, looks at his gloved fingers. The word WET pulses across the screen ... Pulls a fold-away umbrella from her pocket (this is white) ... DRY pulses across the screen. These words appear and fade, different parts of the screen, different fonts, different colours (pink for the coat, white for the umbrella.) Now he slides a hand under her collar, checks his fingers. WET. (Pink) He’s now quickly going through her jewellery - necklace, earrings, bracelet. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN, in gold, pulsing and fading in different parts of the screen. Now her wedding and engagement ring, DIRTY. A mottled gold. The word MARRIED reappears, then the word UNHAPPILY blips in front of it. He’s using his magnifying lens on the rings now. After the words UNHAPPILY MARRIED the word YEARS appears, and in he space between, fruit machine numbers are now spinning past, settling on 10+. Through the lens, so close on the rings. He’s pulling them from the flesh of the finger, examining the interior curve of the ring - it is slightly brighter than the exterior. Turns the ring again to the exterior. Over this the word
DIRTY appears, again in mottled gold. Turns the ring back to the interior.
