OK, so this has been sort of decided as one a great scene (ooh, we should do a scene countdown!) so I just thought it deserved a place on our spot.


SHERLOCK: Why have I got this blanket? They keep putting this blanket on me.
LESTRADE: Yes, for shock.
SHERLOCK: I’m not in shock!
LESTRADE: Yeah, but some of the guys want to take photographs.
SHERLOCK: So the shooter - no sign?
LESTRADE: He cleared off before we got here. But a guy like that would’ve had enemies, I suppose, one of them could’ve been following him, but we’ve got nothing to go on.
SHERLOCK: Oh, I wouldn’t say that.
LESTRADE: Ok, gimme.
SHERLOCK: The bullet they just dug out of the wall’s from a handgun. A kill shot over that distance from that kind of a weapon, that’s a crack shot you’re looking for. But not just a marksman, a fighter. His hands couldn’t have shaken at all, so clearly he’s acclimatized to violence. He didn’t fire until I was in immediate danger, though, so strong moral principle. You’re looking for a man probably with a history of military service and [spots Watson]… nerves of steel…
SHERLOCK: Actually, do you know what, ignore me.
LESTRADE: Sorry?
SHERLOCK: Ignore all of that. It’s- It’s the, uh, the shock talking.
LESTRADE: Where are you going?
SHERLOCK: I just need to… talk about the event.
LESTRADE: I’ve still got questions for you!
SHERLOCK: Oh, what now? I’m in shock, look, I’ve got a blanket!
