Hudson oh excuse me mr. Holmes there's a gentleman and he's very insistent well I do declare he followed me right up the stairs didn't I ask you to wait my good woman you may ask me to wait but not the British Empire mr. Holmes I must talk to you immediately how are you mr. Allens that will be all now thank you mrs. Hudson my good woman indeed tell me my dear Watson that you don't recognize mr. Allen to the home office oh I knew the moment you came in how I are how do you do you see what the name it it's the only law just the Bears that show 428 mr. Holmes I'm here on a matter of the utmost secrecy I assure you mr. Arens the dr. Watson is the very soul of discretion wenches sit down mother like Watson please be so good as to keep tapping on the table with you all night it will break the wavelengths if by any chance there's a dictograph in the walls oh you read oh thank you you can stop now Watson well mr. Allens I take it you've called on me in connection with the kidnapping of John Grayson in America last night oh yes yes exactly Grayson was carrying a document of a very confidential nature indeed its contents are of such great international importance that I am not at liberty to reveal them but if that document falls into the hands of the enemy I can only say it will be absolutely disastrous for this government and her allies for that reason we did not wish to transport it to Washington in the usual way so a regular Kings messenger Sir Henry Marchmont was dispatched not carrying the document of course that's right so Henry was the source of headings let me say precisely the document was actually entrusted to a reliable but insignificant man in our Secret Service on his arrival in Washington he was to make himself known to Sir Henry and deliver the document how not even Sir Henry knew that this man petty : who travelled under the name of John Grayson was the real messenger Pettibone yes Alfred Pettibon yes good man number I I worked with him often I hope you may be able to work with him again but he's completely disappeared he's vanished gone without leaving a trace I can see the possibility of serious ramifications in his disappearance exactly so far we've been able to keep the knowledge of our loss from both the American and British public Holmes you must retrieve that document before it can be used against us of course the Washington police have been notified of Grayson's disappearance but even they don't know that he was carrying the document now that's about all the detail and activity to give you well if you've got Grayson that is Pettibone they must have got the papers not necessarily what see it doesn't pull up because they've got the man they've got the document what form is this document in it was typed on two sheets of legal paper to sheet that's - Balki to swallow and dry Watson fearfully dry especially legal papers well whatever shape the document was in and I trust Pettibone to get rid of it before anyone could lay hands on the document must be found before it falls into the hands of our enemies I'm here on behalf of His Majesty's Government to urge you to find it that means going to Washington of course with all possible speed a bomber is waiting for you at Crichton provide afterwards Tsubasa good bye errands goodbye Holmes good luck thanks very much rely on you Watson we're off to Washington at once I'm not sure that's exciting I never seen a game of baseball let's go start packing Monday first I'd like to take a look at the home of Alfred Pettibone everyone Watson [Music] my dr. Watson what a surprise and mr. Holmes won't you come in thank you I'm frightfully sorry but you won't find my son in he's gone to Washington some business or other due to the climate over there do you mind if we looked over your son's room why of course it's upstairs thank you the key is if I have not just put my nose inside cause if I cared anything about his silly old collection sort of collective collections postage stamps military buttons butterfly bugs snapshots read a monograph someday on the noxious habit of accumulating useless trivia so good as to stop pacing Watson you distract me all right unless I'm greatly mistaken a friend Pettibone did not carry two pages of legal paper when he left this room I wouldn't be too sure Holmes ashes a deceptive unit on the country my dear Watson the rag used in artificial documents leaves an ash that is unmistakable don't you stop pacing I'm not pacing I've moved an inch sorry old fellow my ever mrs. Pett abode on the feed doesn't follow our friend seems to be quite a camera enthusiasts what's this cook f15 that's very fast lens yeah three five summer copying set up American match folders that's right USA Oh pity poem want American match for business work the microscope most interesting what was this what's this microscope was last used for examining microphone I'm beginning to see the pattern stop now did you know that the letters of our soldiers overseas are being photographed on microfilm so that one carrier pigeon can carry the equivalent of 18,000 letters oh we had a carrier pigeon in the last war back in 1915 belonging to the brigade Signal Corps yeah yeah the poor bird kept flying round and round in circles all day long found out later on it was cross-eyed tragic thing we're good doc this is what I was looking for hmm this projector magnify is tremendously anything placed on the slide like this piece of microphone I understand come so doing cleanup wait a minute he's photographed what match folder what do you want to photograph that for probably to line up his equipment before you photograph the document we got it Watson yes just as I thought this document has been reduced to microfilm to make its concealment possible Alfred Pettibone is most ingenious fellow a bulky document is obviously difficult to conceal but two pages of a state paper photographed on microfilm would be reduced to a size no larger than a hip in his tamp slitting a match folder will this this razor blade Pettibone placed the now my new document inside Stuckey together again and there he had it an American match full of rare in London but completely inconspicuous in the United States do you mean stay we're off to America just to look for a match folder to big country a big country Watson and a small match folder come along did you find what you were looking for mr.

Watson how do you do that oh I suppose I should say how are you buddy sir what's cooking rogon headshots were investigating the Grayson case for the Washington police any new developments Grogan none mr. harms the glaad unless you have our complete file and of course we'll cooperate in every way thank you I appreciate your help especially as I'm unfamiliar with your country oh yes of course this is your first visit oh there's the Lincoln Memorial most impressive oh by the by mr. lang thank you for your cable Graham I received it just before I left London cable I sent no cable about our reservations of the Hotel Metropole no we thought you stay at the Embassy of course look at that well since some strange person has taken such an extraordinary interest in my welfare I think I shall stay at the automat Falls Oh mr. Holmes as the Washington Monument there's the capital mr. Holmes magnificent [Music] we're expecting you mr. Holmes thank you I questioned everybody known to have been in that club cars matter of course so Henry Marchmont confirms that Grayson had contact only with the people in this list now he had a drink with senator Babcock he chatted with a miss Pringle about some my she had in the cage and he picked up a book drop by mrs. jealousy not very much to go on how many of these people have been attacked already I've heard about your deductions mr. Holmes well some of the Babcock was held up on his way from the station but nothing taken mrs. jealousness home was ransacked that night and she found the book that you carried from the Train literary torn to bits that's right miss Pringle Oh miss Pringle says someone released the mice from the cage that during the night sometime if she found the cage to uh apply what happened with marcela an intriguing line of thought Watson but not essential to the case mm-hmm apparently Grodin they're still looking for the document I'd very much like to have a look at that club car well that'll be easy I have the car I held on assigning the railroad yeah good but we've searched the car thoroughly mr. Holmes we couldn't find a thing well what do you think what's this mr. Holmes your trunk trunk I have enough trunk sets right there to Sherlock Holmes Hotel Metropole how was this trunk delivered expressman brought it sir was the name of the company do you remember the license number naturally I didn't notice that I just signed for it well I thank you that Allu Great Scott poor chap he recognized mr. Holmes yes who was he and then we're looking for John Grayson his real name is Alfred Pettibone British secret service why should they send the body here obviously to frighten us but I'll tell us they know that Sherlock Holmes is on the case gentlemen they knew we were on the case as early as their attempt on our lives in London they're much too intelligent to believe that a corpse would frighten a trained detective no I rather think they intend this as a message and they wanted to be sure and I'd be here at the Hotel Metropole to receive it message what do you mean they want us to believe that they found the document and therefore I have no further use for Grayson that's true then we're done for I'm not so sure that it is true Watson if they have the document why they're wasting time sending me this no it's an attempt to throw me off the track Robin you have a police laboratory of course certainly I'll see what I can find out about the bus yes whatever marks it reveals AMPA trunk a microscopic examination everything about it the lining the blanket in which the body is wrapped everything there nothing escaped we are the best police laboratories in the world mr. Holmes I pick up Adam Epson and Griffin you see I'm so accustomed to working right alone with my blogging's in Baker Street though I sometimes forget the more modern scientific methods so particularly effective here in America there's anything there they're fired mr.

Holmes I'm not very good at this I think you do all right the only possible explanation mrs. partridge forgive my intrusion but is your niece the kind of girl who would just disappear in this manner ever own free will they ordinarily of course not but the girls in love so they'd naturally tell you of their destination really I have no idea or would they be back here again tomorrow you see I prepared an apartment for them an entire floor in this house by the by mrs. partridge I gather the right you ordered for the apartment was not entirely satisfactory those tiresome workmen I told him not to come in here this afternoon but they did and walked out with the rug which they no doubt informed you had been sent by mistake and would be replaced tomorrow yes but did you yes oh yes always their company requires them to nevertheless there have been leather heels on this floor and the woman's heels very recently I should say not yours mrs. partridge but recently enough so that no dust has had time to settle in the imprints say ladies this seems to be in a struggle over there the woman's footprints disappear and a man's leather heels come round and stop there either she was carried out in the carpet or else that door neato why it's a dressing room I have to not marry skeleton right Watson this is a matter for you I'm afraid the doctor examine him how is he Watson the head nothing seriously heavens is there someone we go disappeared right from under our noses it's unbelievable I better try to trace that truck that won't lead us anywhere our antagonist is too clever for that but the girl must be found immediately you're sure the police chemists found nothing definite in their examination of the trunk not one thing pertinent to the case what about Grayson's body and the blanket it was wrapped in every object connected with this case has some kind of story to tell do you think they'd mind if the laboratory is completely at your disposal mister thank you dr. Watson I began at once usual findings on the trunk mr. Holmes bought in Washington been banged about a good deal all labels removed hmm the body no marks of any kind yeah well if you need me call thank you Watson please just tidy up a bit this blanket is beginning to tell me many things it remains to translate them properly yes just as I thought this blanket has had a most varied history it's been on many a sea voyage well it is not six months ago since then it has been used to wrap a multiplicity of objects carvings of teak wood candles not as made of pewter and furniture furniture yes teak wood leaves not mistakable staying due to rubs off easily and there are evidences of wax drippings particularly concerns as Watson is the furniture there's like your chair the 15th yellow in the room second what do all these things suggest you what's an aunty mine Matilda lives in Brighton the old-fashioned 38 you exactly antiques have another ground to cover for nightfall the antique shops in Washington hey hey nti antiques antiques what connection is a Louis the 15th chair with this Partridge girl this slipper of wood came from a lure the 15th chair that have once been wrapped in that blanket from other evidences the blanket supplies I deduced that it's been used in an antique shop and whoever controls those antiques murdered Grayson and kidnapped the girl but come on all the girls kidnap up becomes a murderer [Music] shopping for antiques let's keep searching Watson the girls in grave danger hello hello this isn't the place it seems to be look Watson there's Kevin it's obviously imitation and yet they're pressed as if they were authentic Oh watch me I feel a certain this is it this is my purse man thank you what kind of a joke is this her don't bother to answer you can tell the police all about it no she'll I promise you well no please here haven't you noticed we have quite alone I sent for you to ask you a few questions you always send a rug for your guests that was a very nice rug miss Partridge it's not my idea of a method of transportation no I'm sorry about that but I'm afraid it was unavoidable but why you've no right to bring me here like this I've always found it wise to take what rights I can get miss Partridge you have a document which I must have document I have no document and won't do you any good didn't mind but I do tonight I don't know what you're talking about you'll remain a prisoner until you produce it how can I produce it when I haven't got it but you have it'll observe that on the train you had contact a little british agent named Grayson he gave her something where is it but I hardly even notice the manner I wouldn't even have remembered him if I hadn't seen his picture in the paper he disappeared or something he is dead mr. partridge oh now will you tell me what I want to know but I can't you won I can't I tell you let me out of here he gave me nothing that's strange because I know he spoke to you there's something very curious about that door up there to open it you'd have to know the combination but I tell you I spoke to no one on that train I didn't a little man try to be attentive to you he may have offered the usual cout does it I don't even remember I'm saying I'm sorry I don't just vote one of the years thank you and you're quite sure you said nothing at all - yeah of course I'm sure permit me and you're certain that nothing passed between you I'm certain mr.

Sherlock Holmes yeah Heinrich Hinkle or as you now call yourself mr. Richard Stanley in 1914 secret agent of the German Kaiser since then head of the most insidious international spy ring that ever existed you're wrong a case of mistaken identity I've been a respected member of this community for a great many years I didn't antiques because of their rarity and beauty merely a device to cover up your real business of transporting secret information to the enemies of this country very interesting but just a figment of your imagination I'm a very busy man mr. Sherlock Holmes where is Nancy partridge you are not looking for that girl you're looking for a certain document how do you mean oh the documents perfectly safe you see the man who has it doesn't know he has it that's a very pretty Tara but quite untrue the only man who had any contact with Grayson on the train was Senator Babcock the senator doesn't have the document we took the trouble to find out permit me thank you I had to been misled by the common notion regarding the shape and bulk of state papers they might easily have been reduced to a to a convenient size you know say a document no larger than Earth and the postage stamp postage stamp oh that's a very interesting theory but not supported by the facts I'm quite beside the point where's the girl she's not here of course but you're quite of liberty to look round if you care to thank you nice won't do so [Music] [Music] interesting piece Spanish isn't it Moorish oh my era it's an amazing specimen yeah sure you won't find what you're looking for there you stimulate my curiosity this might be interesting [Music] [Music] who was what an incredibly inventive people weren't they yes it was in shocking condition when I got hold of it but I had it restored they liked it now but old fashioned if that's the best you can do mr. Stanley I think I miss sickly examine the rest of the room now help yourself thank you again awaiting that door mr. Holmes you didn't think I was going to draw a weapon I never touch the things how odd to find you squeamish that connects only with the shop you're very quick to say so and yet a short while ago I saw two other men in this room and they didn't go back into the shop so there must be another exit and perhaps another room yes mr. Stanley what is it we miss partridge here at once excellent Holmes I see your voice hasn't lost its flexibility when they come here tell them to leave the girl with you and to kill are you think I'll do that yes you will you're playing with lives now Stanley not just the girls thousands millions perhaps and we don't intend to let one man have that much power not now not at any time in the future I prefer you alive to face the retribution that's coming here but if I have to do it all right mr. Holmes I suppose we must all meet our mate sooner or later that's enough boys take your hands of him well mr. Holmes tell the clock to go home and see the fun doors locked well mr.
