A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
Over Sherlock now (like the pulsing words earlier) london streets, as lifted from a map, are snaking across the screen. A dark gray line, following the taxi’s likely path, is zigzagging round the blocks. And now another line, a red one, streaks across the map, slicing through the blocks, chasing the black line, but a shorter route - not a straight line, but fewer twists and deviations. The route you could take on foot -
Sherlock’s eyes flash open, round to: - across the road. Directly opposite (therefore on the red line on the map) there’s an apartment block. A man, clearing getting home from work, is just unlocking the door, about to go in - - and Sherlock lunges straight into the traffic, cars swerving and braking round him, and races across the road. - On John - a heartbeat, and he’s racing after him (although we don’t feature it, from now on he’s running without his stick.) - Sherlock shoves past the man who is entering the apartment building, races into the hallway. - John, pursuing - JOHN Sherlock! (To Man) Sorry! CUT TO:

INT. STAIRWELL - NIGHT

Sherlock pounding up the stairs, John pursuing. On the map: the gray line is filling in black, representing the progress of the taxi. The red line is filling in darker red, representing the progress of Sherlock and John. Top of the stairs. On John as he comes gasping to the top - - to see Sherlock clambering out of a window. What?? CUT TO: 59 On Angelo, still on the doorway, staring after them. Shakes his head, fondly. That Sherlock Holmes! INT. ANGELO’S - NIGHT
