Plot Analysis

Title: Sherlock (2010) - Study in Pink

1. Exposition

John Watson, an Army doctor injured in Afghanistan,  meets Sherlock Holmes who is looking flatmate to share at 221B Baker St., owned by landlady Mrs. Hudson.

2. Turning Point

The police, led by Det. Inspector Lestrade have been baffled by a strange series of deaths, which he can only describe as "serial suicides". Sherlock looks at the latest crime scene, of a woman named Jennifer Wilson who was dressed in pink. Sherlock deduces Wilson was a serial adulterer in an unhappy marriage. 

3. Complication

Sherlock soon deduces the cabbie is an estranged father who was told 3 years earlier he was dying. The cabbie admits that a "fan" of Sherlock's contacted him and offered to "sponsor" his work, paying money for each murder, to be left to the cabbie's children. 

4. Climax

Sherlock realises the gun is actually a novelty cigarette lighter and starts to leave. However, the cabbie challenges him again to choose a pill and see if he can solve the puzzle. 

5. Resolution

The police arrive and Sherlock starts deducing facts about the shooter's identity, before realising it must be John and telling Lestrade to ignore everything he said. 

6. Denoument

Sherlock and John leave the scene and run into the man who had abducted John earlier. He turns out to be Sherlock's elder brother, Mycroft.
