: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?

:29:00
No.
:29:02
It's an attempt to
throw me off the track.

:29:03
Grogan, you have a police
laboratory of course?

:29:06
Certainly.
:29:07
I'll see what I can
find out about the body.

:29:08
Yes, whatever marks it
reveals and the trunk.

:29:11
A microscopic
examination,

:29:13
everything about
it, the lining,

:29:14
the blanket
in which the body is
wrapped, everything.

:29:16
Let nothing escape.
:29:17
We have the best
police laboratories

:29:19
in the world, Mr. Holmes.
:29:20
I beg your pardon,
Lieutenant Grogan,

:29:22
you see I'm so accustomed
to working quite alone

:29:24
at my lodgings
on Baker Street

:29:25
that I sometimes forget
:29:27
the more modern
scientific methods

:29:28
so particularly effective
here in America.

:29:30
Well if there's
anything there they'll
find it Mr. Holmes.

:29:32
While you're doing
that I'll take a
look at the club car.

:29:34
Coming Watson?
:29:36
Here we are Mr. Holmes.
:29:38
I have the porter
as you asked

:29:39
and the railroad
company's sent Mr.
Moore to unlock cars.

:29:41
Delighted, how do you do?
:29:43
Very good let's go in.
:29:44
This way gentlemen.
:29:48
Well.
:29:50
It looks as if the police
:29:51
have made a
thorough search.

:29:54
Whoever did it,
:29:56
it wasn't the police.
:29:58
There have been
visitors here
