| Vasily Livanov as Sherlock Holmes in 'Bloody Inscription' |
The
first episode of the Russian adaptation “Acquaintance” had Holmes and Watson
get acquainted (pun intended) with each other, before they are beseeched by
Helen Stoner (The Adventure of the Speckled Band).
This episode is a faithful adaptation of A Study in Scarlet, the first novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle that introduced Sherlock Holmes as the world’s first consulting detective.

Holmes
and Watson investigate the murder of one Enoch Drebber. Holmes, in his usual
style, makes a series of observations and deductions, much to the amusement of
his official counterparts, Gregson and Lestrade.
The Scotland Yard detectives follow their own lines of investigation and each is confident of his own success. Soon, another murder occurs that proves both of them wrong. This time, the victim is Joseph Strangerson.
