A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
LESTRADE For God’s sake. If you’re just making this up ... SHERLOCK The wedding ring, ten years old at least. The rest of her jewellery has been regularly cleaned, but not her wedding rings - state of her marriage, right there. The inside of the rings are shinier than the outside - that means they’re regularly removed; the only polishing they get is when she works them off her finger. It’s not for work - look at her nails, she doesn’t work with her hands - so what, or rather who , does she remove her rings for? Clearly not one lover - she’d never sustain the fiction of being single over time - so more likely a string of them. Simple! JOHN (Scribbling away) Brilliant!
Sherlock and Lestrade look at John. JOHN Sorry! LESTRADE Cardiff? SHERLOCK Obvious, isn’t it? JOHN Not obvious to me. SHERLOCK
Dear God, what’s it like in your funny little brains, it must be so boring . Her coat! They look to her coat, clearly seeing nothing. SHERLOCK It’s slightly damp - she’s been in heavy rain within the last few hours. No rain anywhere in London in that time. (Feeling at her coat)
Under her coat collar is damp too. She turned it up against the wind! She’s got an umbrella in her left pocket but it’s unused and dry. Not just wind, strong wind - too strong to use her umbrella.
