LATER. In a living room elsewhere, Sherlock wobbles unsteadily in front of a large clear glass
plate on a stand. The boys are in what looks like a warehouse conversion. It’s a large apartment
with bare brick walls and a very high ceiling. The room is decorated with several pieces of
modern furniture and art. Sherlock grins drunkenly at the glass plate, then straightens up a bit
and looks around the room. He is currently kneeling on the sofa with his arms braced on its
back. John stands nearby, leaning against a supporting pillar in the middle of the room.
JOHN: Ohhh, it’s nice!
(Sherlock stands up off the sofa, then promptly falls back onto it. John turns a little and braces
his hand against the supporting pillar. Tessa is standing nearby, together with the landlord who
is holding a set of keys and looking at the boys in confusion.)
JOHN: Nice place.
(The landlord sighs and crosses his arms. Sherlock gets up and totters around the living room.)
TESSA: See anything?
SHERLOCK: Hmm?
TESSA: Any clues, Mr Holmes?
(John has now braced his back against the pillar and has closed his eyes.)
SHERLOCK: Oh, errrrrr ...

(He looks blurrily down at the fancy coffee table and starts deducing:

designer
table
art?

He looks across to an armchair:

chair
seat
leather
sleeeeep

Moving on to a fancy-looking speaker:

His eyes drift on to a painted animal skull on a stand ...
