A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SHERLOCK (V.O. Flashback) Who do we trust, even if don’t know them? Still eerie slow motion, we start closing in on Mrs. Hudson, standing waiting in the doorway. SHERLOCK (V.O.) Who passes unnoticed wherever they go? Thud-thud! Closer on Mrs. Hudson. SHERLOCK (V.O.) Who hunts in the middle of a crowd? Thud-thud! Closer on Mrs. Hudson - - but now drifting over her shoulder to ... The man standing behind her. A shadow slants across him, concealing his face - but we’re closing in on the badge hung round his neck, gleaming on his chest. FLASHBACK: Sir Jeffrey Patterson. In the railway station. He’s just hanging up with a smirk. He starts heading towards - we pan up the big sign marked TAXI. Thud-thud. Closer on the badge. FLASHBACK: Jimmy Phillimore running back through the rain for an umbrella. Beyond him, through the rainy gloom, we see a TAXI light turn on, like an evil eye. Jimmy turns, noticing it ... Thud-thud. Closer on the badge. FLASHBACK: Beth Davenport, a little tipsy, in the carpark at the back of the town hall. She’s at her car, rooting in her handbag for her carkeys. Damn it, they’ve done it again! Beyond her, a taxi is just slowing to a halt. Thud-thud. Closer on the badge. FLASHBACK: Jennifer Wilson, chatting on her pink phone. We pan off her to the front of the queue she’s in - a line of taxis! Thud-thud. Big close-up of the badge. The word TAXI filling the screen. And then something else, being raised into shot. A pink phone! (The same pink iPhone prop as used The Great Game.) Normal speed again. Sherlock is staring at the shadowed figure. What’s going on, what???
