A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
The Taxi parked outside. Leaning against it, the Taxi Driver. Such an ordinary man. TAXI DRIVER Taxi for Sherlock Holmes. SHERLOCK I didn’t order a taxi. TAXI DRIVER Doesn’t mean you don’t need one. SHERLOCK
You’re the cabbie - the one who stopped outside Northumberland Street. It was you , not your passenger. TAXI DRIVER You see, no one ever thinks about the cabbie. It’s like we’re invisible. Just the back of a head. Proper advantage for a serial killer. SHERLOCK Is this a confession? TAXI DRIVER Oh, yes. And I’ll tell you what else - if you go and get the coppers now, I won’t run, I’ll sit quiet and they can take me down. I promise. SHERLOCK Why? TAXI DRIVER Because you’re not going to do that. SHERLOCK Am I not? TAXI DRIVER I didn’t kill those four people, Mr. Holmes. I spoke to them, and they killed themselves. Go and get the coppers now, and I promise you this - I will never tell you what I said.
He turns and calmly climbs into his cab. SHERLOCK
No one else will die though. I believe they call that a result.
88.
