A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SALLY The body of Beth Davenport, Junior Minister for Transport, was found late last night on a building site in Greater London. Preliminary investigations suggest that this was suicide. We can confirm this apparent suicide closely resembles those of Sir Jeffrey Patterson and James Phillimore. In the light of this, these incidents are now being treated as linked. The investigation is on-going, but Detective Inspector Lestrade will take questions now. A blizzard of questions, but one Reporter, louder than the others. REPORTER Detective Inspector, how can suicides be linked? LESTRADE They all took the same poison.
They were all found in places they had no reason to be, none of them had shown any prior indication of -- REPORTER But you can’t have serial suicides. LESTRADE Apparently you can. SECOND REPORTER These three people - there’s nothing that links them? LESTRADE There’s no link we’ve found yet , but we’re looking for it - there has to be one.
There’s a flurry of writing in notebooks - and then there’s a whole chorus of chirps and beeps - not quite in sync, but almost. It’s like every mobile in the room received a text at once. Everyone - even Sally - is checking their phones. Not Lestrade - he just rolls his eyes. Been here before. The Reporter has pulled his phone out, REPORTER Sorry, I - SALLY If you’ve all got texts, please ignore them.
