That's enough boys,
take your hands off him.
Well Mr. Holmes?
Tell the clerk to go home
and see that the front door is locked.
Well Mr. Stanley?
It's the last strike that counts hey Holmes?
I'll remind you of that later.
Miss Pattridge
allow me to present Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
the world famous detective.
He's come to rescue you.
I don't believe you.
Oddly enough he's telling you the truth.
My name is Sherlock Holmes
and I did come here to help you
but I've seemed rather to have missed it.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid you've had a bad time.
Well that doesn't matter its Peter,
they say they'll do something to him
if I don't tell them.
They say they've got him.
Cheer up, he's quite safe.
A tough customer like Peter
isn't disabled very long
by a clunk on the head.
He's all right.
All okay Mr. Stanley.
Look here Stanley
this girl knows nothing.
I promise she won't even identify you.
Well unfortunately she knows enough to hang us,
so do you.
I'm surprised that you're walking
into a trap like this
but you see the position I'm in
and what has to be done.
Cady, Howe?
It will give me great pleasure
to attend to Mr. Holmes personally.
Easter the girl's yours.
It's the police.
Open up, this is the police.
Holmes where are you?
You all right?
Holmes!
Where are you?
Darling.
Thank heavens your safe.
Quick, Stanley's escaped.
All right boys bring'em along.
Come on Lieutenant.
The Senate office building double quick.
Come in.
I'm glad your safe Senator.
Safe?
No man is safe.
Look at the way my constituents snipe at me.
I don't recall seeing your face before stranger.
I don't think we've met.
Well that explains it.
My name is Sherlock Holmes.
Glad to know you Holmes.
What's on your mind?
Senator Babcock, I'm here to inform you
of great peril to your life.
Richard Stanley, a dangerous criminal,
is now on his way here.
Richard Stanley?
Why he's the most
respectable citizen in Washington
has been for years.
What could Stanley possibly want from me?
A document and under the stamps of a letter
given to you by chap named Grayson.
Grayson?
Used to know a man name... Grayson!
Well that's the fellow that disappeared.
Say I got that envelope right here in my wallet.
Now what does Stanley think
could be under these stamps?
A secret document of grave importance.
Reduced to microfilm
and concealed under these very stamps.
Thank you very much, Mr. Holmes.
That's just what I wanted to know.
I might have missed this microfilm
if you hadn't lead me to it.
I've seemed to have
underestimated your capabilities, Mr. Stanley.
Yes, Mr. Holmes,
you're famous powers of deduction and observation
made of very well in Limehouse or Soho
but here in America
I believe you're out of your depth.
If so, the verdict of history
will be severe indeed.
You nervous, Sherlock Holmes.
I must confess to a mark irritation.
Do you mind if I smoke?
Thank you.
The whole course of the world might be changed
by your acquisition of the microfilm.
It will be and for the better.
Have you a match?
You can keep those.
Thank you.
And now if you'll pardon me, Mr. Holmes.
Why don't you do something Holmes
if that thing so important?
The English senator.
Cricket old boy, always cool in the crisis.
The last trick hey Holmes?
Yes, the last trick.
Say you're a smart fellow Holmes.
Here's the microfilm Holmes.
Thank you Senator.
I say Holmes.
This is the microfilm
with the document on it.
It'll be in the proper hands within the hour.
As I told you Mr. Stanley,
the man who had it
didn't know he had it.
Well come on let's go.
Well it'll be nice to get home to Baker Street,
hey Holmes?
Yes but this is a great country Watson.
It certainly is my dear fellow.
Look up there ahead,
the Capitol,
the very heart of this democracy.
Democracy, the only hope for the future,
hey Holmes?
It's not given to us to peer
into the mysteries of the future
but in the days to come
the British and American people
will, for their own safety
and for the good of all,
walk together in majesty,
and justice, and in peace.
That's magnificent.
I quite agree with you.
Not with me,
but Mr. Winston Churchill.
I was quoting from the speech he made
not so long ago
in that very building.
