INT. 221B BAKER STREET - SITTING ROOM - NIGHT

Rain against the glass. The fire is low. DR. MORTIMER (30s) has not taken off his coat.

SHERLOCK HOLMES (40s) does not look up from his pipe.

HOLMES

You saw footprints. A man’s or a woman’s?

Mortimer glances at the door, as if the moor might be standing behind it.

He leans in. The fire cracks.

MORTIMER

Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!

For the first time tonight, Holmes puts down his pipe.

Nothing is rewritten without you.

Ideas arrive as possibilities, from you or from your collaborators. When you choose one, the Studio shows everything it touches, and why. Your pages change only when you say so.

Beside the body: the footprints of a gigantic hound.
