Sally Donovan warns Watson that Holmes has traits of a psychopath and might one day be responsible for the murder. However, Watson, upon living with Holmes starts to trust him gradually and gets to know him.
Sherlock’s brother Mycroft, somehow arranges a meeting with Watson and offers him a chunk of cash if he agrees to spy on Holmes. However, Watson immediately declines the proposal. They investigate the matter together, and after a series of events and clues, they conclude that the killer was a taxi cab driver.
The cab driver reveals that the killed played a game of Russian roulette and had to choose between two pills one that could fatally harm them, and the other that was completely safe. However, before the cab driver could spin Holmes into his nasty game, Watson shoots him from the other side. Before dying, he utters the name of who sponsored it all.
Episode 2: The Blind Banker
Overview:An old friend hires Holmes to dig deeper into a mysterious break-in that occurred in a bank in the city. He investigates the crime scene and finds out that the ones who trespassed the premises spray painted an encrypted message on the wall. Upon decoding, he deduces that it was of a man who was later found dead in his apartment.
The following day, a journalist gets murdered and he finds a similar message encrypted on the walls too. Watson and Holmes pick out the clues and join the pieces together, that traces them back to a Chinese smuggling ring, something that one of the dead men stole and is now being hunted by someone to retrieve it back. Not to mention, they are even ready to go to any amounts of the extent to get it back in the first place.
Sherlock, as intelligent as he is, deciphers and decodes the code with the help of a book cypher and Suzhou numbers. However, in the meantime, Watson was on a date with Sarah and gets kidnapped as his abductors mistake him for Holmes instead.
Holmes somehow manages to rescue them, but their leader escapes and is later found out to be in contact with someone with the initials “M” who later gets murdered.

Overview:The Bruce Partington project was a top-notch, super confidential defence project. However, things take a turn when an employee working on the project gets mysteriously murdered. When things get out of hand, Mycroft, Holmes’ brother, seeks his help and commissions him to find out who’s doing it.
However, Holmes rejects to take the case up and passes it over to Watson instead. Having done so, unrest occurs as the anonymous killer starts to mock Holmes. The killer tended to clothe his captives in explosive vests and sets deadlines for Sherlock to solve cases that were apparently not even remotely related.
One of them even included a cold case that occurred over twenty-two years ago. Others were cold cases that included the mysterious disappearance of shoes of a boy who died due to drowning, a businessman who went missing in action forever, of a television star who suffered an unannounced death, and one where the museum security guard was assassinated of Golem.
Sherlock, however, as witty as he is, starts to solve the cases and finds the links between them as well. He clears the first cases regarding the government employees, post which he asks his murderer to reveal himself to him. In the end, we learn that the mysterious killer was no one but Jim Moriarty the same name that the man uttered in the previous episode before dying. The last scene shows Sherlock pointing his gun at a bomb on the floor to which Watson was strapped to.

Not only that but he also allegedly tries to bring Holmes’ reputation down. He asks Holmes to meet on the rooftop of a hospital, where he tells him that he wants Sherlock to commit suicide, failing which he might be compelled to kill Mrs Hudson, Watson and Lestrade.
He also demands that Holmes can only call it quits on his life after having explained that god code is a myth. However, Moriarty kills himself trying to get Holmes to do so. Holmes called Watson and told him that he was a fraud, and then jumped off the roof.
