A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
JOHN Maybe she left it at home. SHERLOCK
She has a string of lovers, and she’s careful about it - she never leaves it at home. He plucks the little slip of card from John’s hand and re- inserts it in the luggage tag of the pink bag. JOHN So why did I send that text? SHERLOCK The question is, where is that phone now? JOHN She could’ve lost it. SHERLOCK Yes. Or? JOHN ... the murderer? You think the murderer has the phone? SHERLOCK
Maybe she left it in his car, when she left her case. Maybe he took it for some other reason. Either way, the balance of probability is that the murderer has her phone. JOHN Sorry, what are we doing here. Did we just text a murderer? What good does that do.
And right on cue, John’s phone rings. John snatches it up, looks at the number on the screen -- -- and his eyes go to the luggage tab on the case. SHERLOCK
A few hours since his last victim - and now he’s got a text which can only be from her ... Now someone who’d just found the phone would ignore a text like that. But the murderer -
Abruptly the phone stops ringing. SHERLOCK -- would panic. Sherlock springs to his feet, starts pulling on his coat.
