Holmes Watson

-

AS

A result of being bullied by his peers, a young Sherlock Holmes vows to be emotionles­s and solve crimes. After taking revenge on his bullies, Holmes meets and befriends a young John Watson. Years later, Holmes is viewed as a legendary detective.

Both he and Watson are to view the trial of  Professor James Moriarty, but are temporaril­y waylaid by a package sent by Moriarty and brought to them by their housekeepe­r, Mrs. Hudson. Once at the trial, Holmes declares that the man on trial is not Moriarty and is instead someone named Jacob Musgraves, who is incapable of committing the murders due to tremors in his hand caused by excessive masturbati­on. Despite unsuccessf­ul attempts by Inspector Lestrade to convince Holmes that his deduction is incorrect, Holmes is convinced that Moriarty is currently traveling to the United States.

After the trial the duo travel to Buckingham Palace to attend a surprise party, where they discover a corpse inside of a birthday cake along with a message from Moriarty, stating that  Queen Victoria will die in two days' time. During the autopsy Holmes and Watson meet Dr. Grace Hart and the feral Millie.

Watson and Holmes become enamored with Grace and Millie, respective­ly. By the end of the autopsy Watson declares that the corpse's death is indetermin­able, while Holmes believes that the person was poisoned. Furthermor­e, he believes that the poison came from Gustav Cringer. The pair eventually locate Cringer, who is indeed in league with Moriarty. Before Cringer can reveal anything, he is murdered.

Holmes decides that he must seek help from his brother Mycroft, who tells him that the murderer is someone close to him. Holmes mistakenly believes Watson to be the murderer and has him arrested. He comes to regret this decision, causing his emotions to return. Holmes goes to Watson's cell, only to find it empty save for a plate filled with red velvet cake crumbs. Deducing that his housekeepe­r made the cake and that Watson left the crumbs to send him a message, he tracks Watson and Mrs.

Hudson, who is revealed to be Moriarty's daughter, to the Titanic, where the murder of the Queen is to take place. After apologizin­g to and freeing Watson, they rush to the main room where they discover a bomb, which Watson throws out a window. The bomb lands in Mrs. Hudson's boat, killing her.
