Elementary - Season 3, Episode 24 - “A Controlled Descent”
Sherlock is a heroine addict in recovery. Joan Watson is his former sober companion turned detective partner. Sherlock encounters his old dealer (Oscar) who asks Sherlock for help finding his sister. He takes Sherlock's friend and sponsor, Alfredo, hostage in order to ensure Sherlock's cooperation. After a long day and night, they end up here...
What we don't know that Sherlock does is that Oscar's sister is dead (in the tunnel in front of him). Oscar already knows this and is trying to get Sherlock to relapse
What do you notice about light/dark, color, symbol, setting, dialogue, camera angle play out in this scene?
How might these elements create symbolism?
