it's a script for a sherlock web series i'm doing, also sherlock doesn't live with john...
SCRIPT:
Sherlock's sitting looking at a baseball cap
Watson starts a video chat
WATSON: Hey Holmes what's up with the hat?
SHERLOCK: Why don't you tell me?
WATSON: I hate it when you do this you know,
SHERLOCK: Ahh, but you know you want to surprise me one day J
WATSON: Its old and whoever wore it had a big head, go on then, tell me what I didn't notice…
SHERLOCK: The small pocket sewn into the inside of the brim, J amongst other things of course J this was inside, pretty huh? Its worth 4.5 million dollars
Brings gem to the webcam
WATSON: Why?
SHERLOCK: It's the only diamond ever found that contains every single type of diamond in one stone
Some woman found the hat near her house and brought it home for her boyfriend, he wore it, this fell out, naturally they came to me for guidance.
WATSON: Where did she find it?
SHERLOCK: You can't tell?
WATSON: It's one of the things I missed I presume
SHERLOCK: Multiple things, soot on the side, makes it obviously from the south side of Perth, the slight dusting of sawdust, means it was most likely worn on that same Tuesday that she found it, as that was the day before the bulk green rubbish collection, and lastly the most obvious, S.P.Y.N. on the front which stands for south Perth youth network, no doubt where we will find the owner of this hat, and how exactly they received this diamond.
WATSON: Those could easily be explained by other things you know
SHERLOCK: But nothing explains them all, keep in mind accums razor doctor.
WATSON: The bounty on it is half a million dollars! What the hell are you doing with it? Hand it in! Before they catch you with it!
SHERLOCK: I'm not done with it.
WATSON: You're not done with it? What the hell!
SHERLOCK: I've spoken to the duchess she's fine with me keeping it for the length of my investigation, I took out a page in the lost and found for the hat yesterday, it will be interesting to see who attempts to recover it…

SHERLOCK: Mr Baker this is your hat is it? Anything we should know about it?
BAKER: Not that I know of, what's to know? It's a hat.
SHERLOCK: Where may I ask did you get it?
BAKER: I work at a youth centre I got them for everyone as a gift
SHERLOCK: Where precisely did you order it from?
BAKER: This place on 5th, Convent Garden, why?
SHERLOCK: Before I tell you, if I sent you another hat, or even the money for this hat would you be fine with that?
BAKER: Yeah, I guess…
SHERLOCK: Fantastic, I'll order you one from the same place
Fade out
SHERLOCK: tell me brock, anything unusual happen with the latest shipment of hats to south Perths youth centre?
BROCK: I had trouble with the last hat in the batch I couldn't quite sew it correctly, I left it on top of the with the rest of them in it, the next day when I got into the shop I saw it hanging up front, I fixed it, put it in the box and sent it along, only to have some guy come back later and demand that I sell that specific hat to him
SHERLOCK: Did you happen to catch a name?
BROCK: I can do one better; he left me his G-chat id.
SHERLOCK: Fantastic.

SHERLOCK: Hello Mr Ryder
RYDER: Do I know you?
SHERLOCK: No, but I have suddenly become quite an important person in your life, I appear to have found something of yours…
Holds up hat
RYDER: That's my hat! What do you want for it?!
SHERLOCK: Nothing, why would you want it so badly? Its just a hat…
RYDER: Well it has sentimental value
Sherlock: I hope you don't have the same feelings for your homes front door
RYDER: Huh?
SHERLOCK: You are a thief, and as we speak the police's trace has been completed, they are about to come and get you.
RYDER: Did you call to mock me?
SHERLOCK: Of course not, I just wanted you to know I beat you
