:27:00
Well Senator Babcock
was held up

:27:02
on his way
from the station

:27:03
but nothing taken.
:27:04
Mrs. Jellison's home was
ransacked that night.

:27:07
And she found the book
:27:08
that she carried
from the train

:27:09
literally torn to bits.
:27:11
That's right.
:27:12
Miss Pringle?
:27:13
Miss Pringle said
:27:15
someone released the
mice from the cage

:27:16
that during the
night sometime

:27:17
and she found the
cage torn apart.

:27:20
What happened to
the mice I wonder?

:27:22
An intriguing line
of thought, Watson,

:27:23
but not essential
to the case.

:27:26
Apparently, Grogan,
:27:27
they're still looking
for the document.

:27:30
I'd very much like
:27:31
to have a look at
that club car.

:27:32
Well that will be easy,
:27:34
I had the car
held on the side

:27:35
in the railroad yards.
:27:36
Good.
:27:37
But we searched the car
thoroughly Mr. Holmes.

:27:38
We couldn't find a thing.
:27:45
What are you doing?
:27:46
What's this?
:27:47
Mr. Holmes your trunk.
:27:48
Trunk?
:27:49
I have no trunk.
:27:50
It says right there.
:27:51
Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
Hotel Metropolitan.

:27:53
How was this
trunk delivered?

:27:54
An express man
brought it sir.

:27:55
What's the name
of the company?

:27:57
Do you remember
the license number?

:27:58
Well naturally I
didn't notice that,

:27:59
I just signed for it.
:28:00
All right, thank
you, that'll do.

:28:02
Well this trunk's
not locked.

:28:09
Great Scott!
:28:11
Poor chap.
:28:13
You recognize
him Mr. Holmes?

:28:14
Yes.
:28:16
Who was he?
:28:17
The man were looking
for, John Grayson.

:28:20
His real name is
Alfred Pettibone,

:28:22
British Secret Service.
:28:24
Why should they
send the body here?

:28:26
Obviously to frighten us.
:28:28
Or to tell us
they know that

:28:29
Sherlock Holmes
is on the case.

:28:30
Gentlemen they knew
we are on the case

:28:32
as early as their attempt
:28:34
on our lives in London.
:28:35
They're much too
intelligent to believe

:28:37
that a corpse
would frighten

:28:39
a trained detective.
:28:40
No, I rather think they
intended this as a message

:28:43
and they wanted to be sure
:28:45
that I'd be here
:28:46
at the Hotel Metropolitan
to receive it.

:28:48
Message?
:28:49
What do you mean?
:28:50
They want us to believe
:28:51
that they found
the document

:28:53
and therefore have no
further use for Grayson.

:28:54
Well if that's true
then we're done for.

:28:56
I'm not so sure that
it is true Watson.

:28:57
If they have the document
:28:59
why they wasting
time sending me this?
