00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,240
time now for today's episode of the Casebook at gregory Hood.

34
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:43,759
Today's episode is entitled South of the Border.

35
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,159
Speaker 4: Tonight the Petrick Family, the family that took time to

00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:56,800
bring you good wine, invite you to listen to the

37
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,360
story South of the Border. What exciting adventure from the

38
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,520
case Book of Gregory Hood. And I'd like to ask

39
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,680
you if you know one sure way to turn a

40
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:10,680
simple meal into a regular feast, just serve that meal

41
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,240
with a good Petrie dinner wine. Let's say Petrie California Burgundy.

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,759
Petri Burgundy, you know, is the perfect companion for any

43
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,960
kind of meat or meat dish. It's a red wine

44
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,560
just as rich in flavor as it is in colored.

45
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:27,199
And if you want to know how really good it is,

46
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,520
serve that Petri Burgundy with a hamburger cook the way

47
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,680
you like it, tender, delicious. Or try that Petri Burgundy

48
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,719
with a savory beef stew or with pork chops.

49
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 5: And of course, if you can.

50
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: Wangle it, try Petri Burgundy with a thick, juicy steak. Ah,

51
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,919
believe me, that's eating eating, that's well, that's out of

52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120
this world. And believe me, Petri Burgundy is a wine

53
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,599
that's clear, fragrant, and delicious, a wine that you can

54
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:57,280
serve to your friends proudly. Of that you can be sure.

55
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:01,120
Remember those five letters P E, E, T R I.

56
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,960
They spell the proudest name in the long history of

57
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:26,240
fine wine. Well, it's Monday night in San Francisco, and

58
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:28,279
we have a date with Gregory Hood and his friend

59
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:29,199
Sanderson Taylor.

60
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:29,759
Speaker 5: Too.

61
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,879
Speaker 4: Night's rendezvous is at Gregory's apartment high on knob Hill

62
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:34,319
and overlooking the Golden Gate.

63
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,519
Speaker 5: Let's join him man. Shall we howry about? How are

64
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:47,120
you evening, Sandy? Where's Gregory? Can't you hear him? Oh?

65
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,399
Speaker 4: Hello, all right, greg that sounds swell. It's nice, isn't

66
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,399
it your latest composition? Oh?

67
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: This is mine, Harry? Which it were?

68
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,439
Speaker 4: This is one of Richard's compositions, the per pc Broken Heart.

69
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Seems to me he is something of a rival of yours.

70
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,079
Greg He's a famous importer, and now it turns out

71
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,759
he's an amateur composer of distinction too. Yes, Harry, but

72
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,079
don't imagine there's any rivalry between him. They're the best

73
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,839
of friends. All those distinct rivalry between us. On the

74
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,720
golf course and you played this afternoon. If I hadn't

75
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:20,720
hooked my drive on the thirteenth, that's where I'd have

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,120
beaten him.

77
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: Oh.

78
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,639
Speaker 5: On the way home, he.

79
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,759
Speaker 4: Took me by store and gave me a private showing

80
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,839
of his wonderful collection of to Ben Glass.

81
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,639
Speaker 5: It's a must on your list, Harry. I'll go there tomorrow.

82
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:31,879
Speaker 4: Now Greg has about.

83
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 5: To that story. It's coming right up.

84
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,439
Speaker 4: There.

85
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 5: You see.

86
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 4: Dick Gump and I work very closely in the importing business.

87
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,920
On this particular occasion we crossed swords with a very

88
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:46,079
slimy dealer by the name of Severn Stackpool. It was

89
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,879
to Postall Stackpool that I decided recently to fly down

90
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,720
to Mexico City. I'd heard that the Royal jade collection

91
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,839
of Grosney was for sale, so I decided to be

92
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:56,319
in at the bidding on the ground floor. The Royal

93
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,519
collection of Grosney and jade sounds pretty impressive, Greg, But

94
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,720
and I don't want to fear stupid.

95
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:03,319
Speaker 5: Where is Grossni.

96
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: It's one of the more obscure Baltland countries. The royal family,

97
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:10,040
complete with the priceless jade collection, which four generations of

98
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Grossnian rulers have been assembling, left the country and came

99
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,439
to Mexico City. But I'll come to that in a moment.

100
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,639
As soon as I heard about the jade collection, I

101
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,920
naturally got in touch with Dick Gump. As you know,

102
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
he has one of the finest collections.

103
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:22,439
Speaker 5: Of jade in the world.

104
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,399
Speaker 4: But Dick was tied up, so he arranged to purchase

105
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,079
the stuff jointly. Sandy and I lost no time in

106
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,079
hopping the next plain south. When we landed in Mexico City,

107
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:34,079
it was one of those cool, fresh days, bright sun

108
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:42,800
but a very small, very very you know, Sandy, I

109
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,759
haven't been to Mexico City for a couple of years.

110
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,639
Speaker 5: It's good to be back. It's a great spot. Yes,

111
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,240
I've always liked it. In a way.

112
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: It isn't Mexican anymore than San Francisco is purely American.

113
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,000
It's a city for citizens of the world, and very attractive.

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 5: Some of those citizens are too.

115
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 4: I wondered how long it'll be before you respotted that

116
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,079
girl standing at the barrier.

117
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 5: Oh no, she's coming.

118
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 6: Over to us, You bred girl. Bring it to me.

119
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:09,839
I beg your pardon, so you do not wish to

120
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:13,480
speak girls Nian before your American friends? Very well, he

121
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,279
would come with me.

122
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 5: No, you're right, I'm afraid the answer is no. She

123
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,279
spoke in Grossnian. Did you know we were coming about

124
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:21,720
to Jay? I sent Count Pablu a wire. He's the

125
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,360
official guardian of the Royal collection. Are you an emissary

126
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:25,120
of his? Young lady?

127
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,399
Speaker 6: I do not understand this talk of count problem not Jay.

128
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,920
I only know that my orders are that you must

129
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:31,439
come with me.

130
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 5: Who gave you those orders?

131
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:33,839
Speaker 6: I cannot answer that question.

132
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,199
Speaker 4: Well, normally I'd be delighted to join you, but I'm

133
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,319
here on urgent business. But if you'll give me your

134
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,319
phone number, I'll call you when I'm in the clayer.

135
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 6: Do not make phone of me. I'm going to make

136
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,759
you come with me.

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: I don't see how, darling. We're two great, big husky

138
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,480
men and you're just a whisper for girl. Even if

139
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,879
you're a judo expert. I think you'll find it's tough sledding.

140
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,519
Speaker 6: You will come with me alone.

141
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: I rather think I will have said so long standing. Wait,

142
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,160
greg greg.

143
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,639
Speaker 7: Hey, young lady, what do you want?

144
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: Don't kill Sandy?

145
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,079
Speaker 4: You might conceivably lose control of the revolver that fitted

146
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,560
so snugly in my ribs. This is this is kidnapping,

147
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,720
and pro day god, it's not possible.

148
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: Where's your chauffeur driving us to the house of Prince

149
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:29,839
Petro else?

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 5: Who is he? And why are we going there?

151
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 6: You know as well as I do. It was not

152
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:35,639
this mainly your idea.

153
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: Look, darling, you must have me mixed up with someone else.

154
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000
I've never heard of Prince Piosul. My name is Gregory.

155
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: Hood and I'm an importer from San Francisco.

156
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 6: You're still a playboy or thought, are you not? Grigoroo.

157
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: Sure, but I'm not your Grigoroo. By the way, what's

158
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:50,600
your name?

159
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,279
Speaker 6: You know as well as your own?

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: Yes, but as my name seems to be a matter

161
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120
of a discussion, it would be simpler if you told

162
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,600
me yours.

163
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,399
Speaker 6: My name is Maria, Maria and.

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: Your nationality Maria, What.

165
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 6: Game do you play? Gregor? I am grasny and.

166
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 5: Of course just as you are as I am.

167
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: This begins to make Alice in Wonderland look like who

168
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,559
done it?

169
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 6: A Listen, Maria, greg we arrived at Prince's house. Follow

170
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,200
me and not treats. Please, as you remember, I am

171
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,240
not an amateur with a reverb. Prince Peirsol is waiting

172
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,480
at the door. He will be so happy to see

173
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:26,919
you again.

174
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: Gregoro, my dear dear boy, come in. I've been waiting

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,320
your arrival with such anxiety.

176
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,039
Speaker 5: You mean you recognize me too?

177
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,799
Speaker 8: What ruffish are you talking? How could I fail to

178
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,399
recognize you?

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 5: Grigoru?

180
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: I come in, my boy, come in. I have so

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,879
much to tell you. We will go into my study.

182
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 6: You wish me to sday, Prince Giirsol.

183
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: No, Maria, you may leave us, and you have done well.

184
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: My child.

185
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: You brought him here most speedily. I'm pleased with you.

186
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 6: Thank you.

187
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: And now, my dear Cliff, let me look at you.

188
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
It wars my old heart to see you. You must

189
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,799
allow me an embrace. Look, this is all very touching,

190
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,039
but will you give me some faint idea of what goes? You?

191
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: Have me kidnapped with the air.

192
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 8: That's been me to have to do that, my dear Gregor,

193
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600
But I could take no chances. You know how difficult

194
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600
it has been for me to handle you in the task.

195
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: Let me ask you one simple question, Prince, who the

196
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,039
heck do you think I am?

197
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 8: Who should I think you are? I? You're all and trusted, Prime.

198
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,159
Speaker 5: Minister, Prime minister? Who should you be? But Gregor?

199
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: The sixteenth hereditary King of Gostna? Lieutenant Valdez, How many

200
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,519
times do I have to tell you my friend was

201
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,879
kidnapped before my very eye?

202
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 5: But, mister Taylor, how can you expect me to take

203
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,440
your story? Here? Is perfectly true, My dear mister Taylor.

204
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:09,879
I am interested in matters of criminalists.

205
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 9: I know the activity is of mister Gregory hood and

206
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,120
I also have heard of his shall I say, his

207
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,159
extracurricular activity? What do you mean, Lieutenant he's nytorious lady killer.

208
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,399
I understand what to do with that A great deal.

209
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,639
I am sure you have told me. He neglects his

210
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,080
business to go up with a beautiful girl and then

211
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,080
invents the absolutely the story that.

212
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:30,039
Speaker 5: He's being kidnapped.

213
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,919
Speaker 9: Should I concern myself or my men with your friend's

214
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:33,559
love life.

215
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: I insist that you try and locate him. Lieutenant, I'll

216
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,960
appeal to the concert. I doubt that mister.

217
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,799
Speaker 9: Hood will thank you for your interference. Now, mister Taylor,

218
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,720
I'm afraid I must say goodbye to you. I have

219
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:46,960
serious work to attend to.

220
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 5: But Prince Philisol, I tell you my name is Gregory Hood.

221
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,879
I'm an importer, and I live in sand.

222
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 8: Yes, we are used to your many ingenuous disguises in

223
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,840
alter egos. At the time has come when you can

224
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:10,759
shirk your royal responsibilities.

225
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 6: No longer.

226
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 4: Your life as a playboy must finish.

227
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,279
Speaker 5: Oh so I've been a playboy, haven't.

228
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,919
Speaker 8: You have left the trail of broken hearts from Paris

229
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,159
to Buenos Aires.

230
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,799
Speaker 4: That this must seiz Gregor. It's an unfortunate.

231
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,919
Speaker 8: Necessity of politics that a monarchist party must offer the

232
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,919
people a monarch that Gregoro is why have you brought here?

233
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: But how did you find me? I mean Grigoro, And

234
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,679
of course you haven't found him. What I mean is

235
00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:40,159
what makes you think I am?

236
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,399
Speaker 5: Hey.

237
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,399
Speaker 8: We knew you would come here to Mexbooh City for

238
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,360
a very good reason and need raised in town. He's

239
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,320
dancing at the Gatuassul. We know that for all your wanderings,

240
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,120
you always return to her.

241
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,799
Speaker 4: I can see that I might have certain tastes in

242
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,039
common with myself, But compisul, this game's gone far enough.

243
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,240
It's a case of mistaken identity. Let me call the

244
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,120
American Consulate and prove to you who I am.

245
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,399

our plans.

249
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,879
here against my will.

250
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,879
Speaker 8: Oh yes, we can, my dear boy. And did you

251
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,240
have any notions of trying to escape? I might remind

252
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,159
you that Maria will be guarding you.

253
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,240

Speaker 4: Mister Taylor, that's think as comfortable as a man can be.

261
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,559
Even his best friends disappeared. Haven't been any messages? No,

262
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,279
mister Taylor, you have reported his disappearance to the belief.

Speaker 5: Yes, and I want to make me seriously, Nor will

264
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:02,720
the consulate? Ah, excuse me?

265
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:06,720

269
00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 8: You can take it in the booth over there.

270

Speaker 4: Sandy?

274
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:36,759
Speaker 5: Is that Mexican son a little too hot? I'm not kidding, Dick.

275
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,600
The girl had a revolver in his ribs. I've been

276
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,559
going ap to be frantic.

277
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: Neither the police nor the consulate will take me seriously.

278
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 10: Well, look, Sandy, the Vice consulor is a friend of mine.

Speaker 8: And now, Gregoroo, I shall leave you and Queen Elena together.

287
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,200
That's a handsome couple. How splendid the part of you

288
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,080
would look standing on a balcony with you cheering people

289
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:32,559
below you. Talk some sense to me, Lena will grigaroo.

290
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: Let's settle this down charade once and for all. You're

291
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:38,440
supposed to be my wife. You should know whether I'm

292
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,000
me or not.

293
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 11: I do not know what you mean. All I know

294
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:44,679
is that you are my husband and that I love

295
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,480
you very much?

296
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: Holy smoke, not you too? Now, look, darling, what's the game?

297
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:52,039
Knowing me as well as.

298
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 6: Your mus well? There's any stranger in your harem?

299
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: Oh? Do they have herems in Grasna.

300
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:59,759
Speaker 11: I have loved you, Garoo, even though my father arranged

301
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:01,600
marriage purely as a political move.

302
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,279
Speaker 6: I shall probably always love you.

303
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 11: You will undoubtedly never be under the same roof with me,

304
00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:09,879
say when a protocol the man?

305
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,559
Speaker 6: I should hate you, Gregor, Yet in my heart I

306
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,799
find nothing but love and pity for us.

307
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:18,759
Speaker 5: Book and.

308
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,919
Speaker 6: Will you kiss me?

309
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: Good night?

310
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 6: Or is that asking too much?

311
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 5: No, Elena, I don't think that's asking too much. Good night?

312
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,519
Speaker 6: Must it be good night?

313
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: I'm afraid so, Eleana. I have a busy time ahead

314
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:51,360
of me, my love, Auir. This is becoming embarrassing. I've

315
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:55,200
got to get out of here. The windows unlocked?

316
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:01,399
Speaker 5: Maybe I oh, hello, Maria. I was afraid you might

317
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:01,919
be out there.

318
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 6: There was a time and you were glad of my company.

319
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: I don't doubt it, Maria, But on those occasions, I

320
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:14,160
imagine you didn't totally shiny automatic. I also doubt whether

321
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,359
you purchased yourself outside my windows.

322
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:17,039
Speaker 5: Won't you come in?

323
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's getting chilli out there. I want to

324
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:20,480
talk to you very well.

325
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 6: What not, Leach? Now? What do you want from me?

326
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,079
Speaker 5: Complete honesty?

327
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 4: Dot pursol and queen and Yana went all emotional over me.

328
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:30,319
Speaker 5: You at least have played the thing straight.

329
00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 6: I think I've played my cards well.

330
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,519
Speaker 4: Now, look, Mariya, one thing we have to get straight

331
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,960
right away. I'll swear on any convenient stack of Bibles

332
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:41,119
that I am not King Grigoroo the sixteenth.

333
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 6: Of course, I know.

334
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,759
Speaker 5: That at last somebody is making sense.

335
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:46,799
Speaker 6: We should know better than I that you are not

336
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,319
the king.

337
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm delighted, Maria, But what makes you so positive?

338
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,519
Speaker 6: For the most obvious reason, did I not help you murdering?

339
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 4: You'll hear the rest of Gregorhood's story in just a second,

340
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,200
Just time enough for me to say a good word

341
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:18,160
about a good white wine. Petrie California is so turned.

342
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,200
Petri so Turn is a delicate wine, golden in color,

343
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:27,400
with a marvelous, subtle flavor. One sip and you'll know

344
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,279
that you've discovered the kind of wine you long looked for.

345
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,759
And wait till you sample that Petree so Turn served

346
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:38,480
with chicken. Ah, what a combination. And Petri so Turn

347
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,119
is not only great with chicken, but it's swell with

348
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,960
any kind of fish or seafood too. You just taste

349
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,759
that Petrie so Turn and see what I mean to

350
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:50,440
be sure you get a good wine. Be sure you

351
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:54,759
get Petrie wine. Well, greg this is one of the

352
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,119
scrueliest stories I ever heard. It sounds it, doesn't it, Harry, Yeah,

353
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,920
it's perfectly true. It seems to me like a double

354
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,039
case of mistake and identity. That's the way it seemed

355
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,599
to me at the time. I figured that Maria had

356
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,640
had a boyfriend who was a double for the real king.

357
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:10,400
They had murdered the king and placed me, that is

358
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,759
the boyfriend in his stead. Now they were deliberately letting me,

359
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,839
that is him, be found by the monarchists party to

360
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440
go back to Grossnia and Rain. It's pretty a little

361
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,480
mixed up. As ever, I heard, how did you get

362
00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:21,839
out of it?

363
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:22,279
Speaker 5: Well?

364
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,519
Speaker 4: As Maria made her remarkable statement, I had a sudden inspiration, Harry,

365
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:26,640
I saw a way to play there.

366
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 6: No, you're not the real king? Did I not help

367
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,359
you murder him?

368
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:37,319
Speaker 5: You helped me to Maria? You may be right at there?

369
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,759
Speaker 6: I need it, Riguru. Whatever may have happened to your memory,

370
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,519
I can assure you that I have not forgotten.

371
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 4: I can't understand myself. My mind it's been confused lately.

372
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,160
I can't seem to remember things properly. Do you suppose

373
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,440
could I really be the man you think I am?

374
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 6: Am?

375
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,839
Speaker 5: I suffering from mamnesia, you poor darling.

376
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 6: Of course that explains why you've been acting so strong.

377
00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,559
Speaker 5: That must be what's wrong, Maria. You have to help

378
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:04,519
me regain.

379
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,519
Speaker 6: My memory, of course, But what can I do?

380
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 5: I've often heard that a sudden shock can do the trick.

381
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 6: Perhaps if I fired this revolveran screen that you're.

382
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,559
Speaker 4: Trying to answer, No, no, darling, that's a little too violent.

383
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,319
I feel that a more psychological treatment might be better.

384
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,720
Tell me, Maria, I gather that my past has been

385
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,079
a trifle sticky.

386
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:24,519
Speaker 5: Which of the women in my life are the closest

387
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:24,759
to me?

388
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 6: That is not hard to answer. Anitre the dancing ger.

389
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, Prince Hiosol mentioned her, and she's in

390
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,279
Mexico City at the moment.

391
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:33,839
Speaker 5: I understand.

392
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,319
Speaker 6: Yes, she's dancing at the Gato assur. We know that

393
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,279
you would not be able to keep away from her. Always,

394
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:42,680
in whatever country you have been in, with whatever women

395
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,039
you have, always come back to Anitrav.

396
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,599
Speaker 5: She sounds sensational, she.

397
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 6: Said, devil. She knows that you kidded the king, and

398
00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:52,079
yet she gave her heart to you before even his

399
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,400
funeral had taken place.

400
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 4: I'm even more of a cad than I thought. But look, Maria,

401
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:58,319
you want to help me get my memory back, don't you.

402
00:20:58,519 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: Yes, I will help you.

403
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: Well, you're my bodyguard. You escort me to the Ghatawasoul.

404
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,640
Let me take a gander at a Nietra. Maybe my memory.

405
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 6: Will come back, Perhaps I will grigorool. But I shall

406
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:11,640
keep this revulber hands.

407
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: Okay, Maya. By the way, you still call me Grigoroo.

408
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,079
Speaker 4: If we are supposed to have bumped off King Grigoroo,

409
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:18,680
how come.

410
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 5: I still have his name?

411
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 6: Because it was the greed you would top the name.

412
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,519
Your real name when you served the prison term in

413
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:27,240
nineteen thirty seven was Stepan Rattne.

414
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:31,559
Speaker 4: Something new has been added. So I served a prison term?

415
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:36,000
Did I curious, sir? And curiouser? What was my crime?

416
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:38,559
Speaker 6: Perhaps it will help your memory if I show you

417
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,079
a copy of your police record, Gregoroo, I have a

418
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,039
photostatic copy made from the fire.

419
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,839
Speaker 4: Well, if the photograph is an exact like that, Hello, Hello,

420
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,799
see these fingerprints on the record.

421
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: Are these supposed to be mine?

422
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: But of course then this, my sweetheart, is an occasion

423
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,640
when you're in line for something of a shark. Now

424
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,119
here's my driving license. I want you to compare the

425
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,640
two prints. I'm very much afraid you will find this

426
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:07,119
a slight discrepancy.

427
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 6: No great prints are identical.

428
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,519
Speaker 5: What let me see that. You must be quietness, Holy smoke,

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,359
they are the same.

430
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 4: Of course they are I'm beginning to wonder myself who

431
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,799
I am.

432
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 5: Well, there's only one way to clear this.

433
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: Up, Maria and Daddy, you and your revolver must take

434
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,680
me to see Anetra, my great love. I'm on, Darling,

435
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:45,240
stop flowering at me and let's go. This is the

436
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,160
first time I've come to you tonight, and this time,

437
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,400
mister Thea, I must apologize.

438
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 9: Perhaps I was unduly skeptical. The American Councilate have.

439
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 4: Officially asked us to conduct the search for your thank

440
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,759
the Lord Dick Com could pull some strings.

441
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,559
Speaker 5: Well let's go. But where, my friends, I have no

442
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,039
clues that I can tell you one thing.

443
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,839
Speaker 4: If you were right in thinking that mister Hood was

444
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,839
not being held captive, then I know where.

445
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 5: To look for him.

446
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: Where, mister Taylor in the spot that has the best food,

447
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,799
the best wine, and the most attractive dancer in Mexico City.

448
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:16,000
If you are correct as to your friend's taste, I

449
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,440
think we will find it. If not, we shall at

00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:32,799

Speaker 5: While we were waiting for an eat with to appear

453
00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:39,920

454
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,519
Speaker 6: A roomba, Not this tandary.

458
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,519
Speaker 5: A very conscientious escort, aren't you, Darling. It's lucky. I'm

459
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,559
very scrupulous. My old father used to say that jumping

460
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:55,279
johose back.

461
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 6: What are you steering it?

462
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:58,039
Speaker 5: Look, we're sitting at the table across the floor at

463
00:23:58,079 --> 00:23:58,759
Sandy Taylor.

464
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 6: It is your friends in the airfield.

465
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:03,319
Speaker 4: And from the cut of his companion, I venture the

466
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,160
opinion that he's a minion of the law.

467
00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:07,559
Speaker 5: Maria, my love, I'm afraid the.

468
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: Honeymoon is over. It's I've got some overdue business to

469
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:11,880
attend to.

470
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,519
Speaker 6: The lighting here is discreet. Your friend has not seen you.

471
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,680
If you need to stay lesser.

472
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:20,079
Speaker 4: Plant, Maria, give me that revowal no see Tom Gregor.

473
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 5: Give me that revolver Darling. Thank you.

474
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,559
Speaker 6: I am a weak. I could not do it. I

475
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,519
could not shoot you even WINNI we'll.

476
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 5: Talk about them later. Come with me, Maria.

477
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 4: You're a good girl, and if what I think is true,

478
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,000
you may not be too safe.

479
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:40,839
Speaker 5: Come on, we'll cut through here, Nie.

480
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,480

481
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:44,839
about you.

482
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 5: I've been a little worried about myself too, says this

483
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,559
is Lieutenant Valders of the Police. Sister Hood. I'm proud

484
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:53,039
to meet you, and I'm very relieved to meet you. Lieutenant.

485
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:54,880
I need a little police protection.

486
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 6: Please introduce me later.

487
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 5: There's no time for that, darling.

488
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,839
Speaker 4: Right now, we're all going over to talk to Count

489
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,359
Bluen see if we can buy some jade. Then we'll

490
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,559
come back here and do a little celebrating.

491
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 5: Well, Gregory, it's turned out all right.

492
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: You close the deal with Count Pavno and jade out. Yes,

493
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:25,279
but I only got it in the nick of time.

494
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,799
You saw that large black limousine drive up to the

495
00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:30,880
Count's house as we left. That was mister Severn Stackpool

496
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,640
more champagne, Mario.

497
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,279
Speaker 6: Thank you.

498
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,079
Speaker 5: How about you, Lieutenant Ballet.

499
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:38,319
Speaker 4: Since I am no longer on duty, thank you, mister Hood. Gregory,

500
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,240
I've got a million questions to ask her. Yes, I

501
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:43,119
thought you might be curious, Sandy, and I'm mister Hood

502
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:45,039
as a humble member of the police force.

503
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: And maybe it too curious too.

504
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 9: Here we are back again in the Cantilla Shool and still,

505
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:50,519
I do not know what's happened.

506
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 5: Your friends tell me that this charming young lady kidnapped you.

507
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,680
What am I to believe?

508
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: Officially nothing, Lieutenant, I don't propose to prefer.

509
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 5: Chargers, Gregory. This girl pulled a gun on you.

510
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: I know, Sandy, but with so much charm Maria Darling.

511
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:09,000
How about an explanation. Oh, by the way, is your

512
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:10,160
name really Maria? Oh?

513
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,559
Speaker 6: Yes, and I really am aggress Who was at the.

514
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 4: Back of this elaborate hunk of play acting tonight? Was

515
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,319
it Severn Stackpool?

516
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 6: Yes, several Stackpool employers. You know that he have to

517
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,240
prevent you seeing Count Pavlo until you arrive here and

518
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,079
close the deal. So he divided these plans.

519
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,319
Speaker 4: But listen, Maria, I know Severn Stackpool. His mind isn't

520
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,720
capable of dreaming up such a wild and wally plotter

521
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:32,960
as this.

522
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 6: No but his best friend here in Mexico City, Antonio

523
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Serni deal the crazy mystery writer. Antonio knows your weakness

524
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,160
for peculiar prof and wim.

525
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,599
Speaker 4: You're getting an international fame, Gregory, I know, quite flattering.

526
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,039
So Antonio dreamed up this crazy plotful of excitement and

527
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,200
danger and girls. In the hopes that it keep me

528
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,119
occupied until Stackpool got here and closed the jade deal.

529
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,039
Speaker 6: I suppose, yes, Queen's Fearsoul, Queen Janina and I are

530
00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:02,519
all professional acts. We were paid huntedly to play our part.

531
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,119
Prince Firoso, Queen Elena. What's this all about, Grigoroo? Gregory

532
00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:10,799
characters in a fantastic plot. But you can tell Antonio

533
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,319
that he overdid it. One double I might have swallowed,

534
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,880
but when I was also supposed to be the double

535
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,279
of the King's double, it was.

536
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 5: A little too much.

537
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 6: That is when you know it was a conspiracy.

538
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 4: Yes, Darling, and the thumb prints were a clincher. It

539
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,559
was mathematically impossible that any double could have my exact print,

540
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:28,960
so it was clear that someone had framed the whole thing,

541
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,799
had printed up that description, probably from my driving license

542
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:35,920
and wire photo to photostatic copy. It was obvious that

543
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,759
the whole affair was a pretext to get me out

544
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:38,200
of the way.

545
00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 5: And who was the logical person? Savrin stackpoo Qedi.

546
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 4: Well, I barely know what you're talking about, Gregory, but

547
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,039
at least we've closed the deal, yes, yes, and we

548
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,799
have some prize treasures for the Gump collection and some

549
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000
only moderately colossal stuff for my regular customers. Uh, Lieutenant Valdez,

550
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:59,599
you're not asleep by you, Just rousey, mister hood. The

551
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,200
music is good, conversation makes no sense, and the champagne

552
00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:07,839
is excellent. Please continue to talk nonsense. It is so soothing.

553
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 5: A very sound point of view. How about you, Maria,

554
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,480
pretty girl.

555
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 6: I'm worried about seven Stackpool. He's a dangerous man when

556
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,160
he knows that I have failed.

557
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:20,559
Speaker 4: Very true, Maria, he isn't going to like you a bit.

558
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,960
I'm afraid I have a duty to you for the

559
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,559
rest of my stay in Mexico.

560
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,599
Speaker 6: City, A duty to me. What is it?

561
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 4: From hearing Maria, our roles are reversed from now on.

562
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:33,279
I am your bodyguard to day and night.

563
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:56,039
Speaker 12: Oh, Greg, girl, Greg Id, and know how you do it?

564
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: You know your stories get better all the time.

565
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:02,559
Speaker 4: But you a king, Harry When you say that, don't

566
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,599
smile that. I was beginning to like the idea. Greg,

567
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,160
gotta know, I just can't visualize you as a king.

568
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:12,119
Speaker 5: Oh.

569
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:14,319
Speaker 4: I think I'd look quite dashing with a crown on

570
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:17,160
my head and a queen by my side. Hmmm, I'd

571
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,680
look kind of dashing myself and that set up. Maybe so,

572
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,880
But as my old father would say, he who gets

573
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,920
crowned is not always king. Well, that's what your old

574
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,920
father would say. But did I ever tell you what.

575
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:31,039
Speaker 5: My old father said? No? What did he say?

576
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,599
Speaker 4: You can't go wrong with a Petree wine? He said it,

577
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,960
and he was glad and right you said it because

578
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,960
Petrie wine is always good wine.

579
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,599
Speaker 5: Well, it's got to be.

580
00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:46,279
Speaker 4: Look at the long years of skill and experience that

581
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,000
go into its making. The Petrie family has been making

582
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:55,319
wine for generations. Wine making is their heritage, a heritage

583
00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:59,160
hand it on down from father to son, from father

584
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,119
to son. So you can take it for granted that

585
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,640
the Petrie family really knows how to turn luscious sun

586
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:10,519
ripe and grapes into clear, fragrant, delicious wine. You can

587
00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:12,759
take it for granted too, that the name Petrie on

588
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:15,440
a bottle of wine is more than a trademark.

589
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: It's the assurance of the Petrie.

590
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: Family that every drop of wine in that bottle is

591
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:24,200
good wine. You just can't go wrong with Petrie wine

592
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,279
because Petrie took time to bring you good wine.

593
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 5: Well, Greg, which story out of your case book? You're

594
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,720
going to tell us next week.

595
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: Next week, Harry, I'm going to tell you of a

596
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:37,119
strange adventure that Sandy and I had last Paul when

597
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:39,279
we grew up to Yosemity on a fishing trip. It

598
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,039
concerns some brook trout that I cooked under the starlight,

599
00:30:42,440 --> 00:31:00,240
an uninvited guest, and a sudden tragedy. See you next week, Harry.

600
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,920

606
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,640
Book of Gregory Hood comes to you from.

Speaker 5: Our Hollywood studio.

608
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: This is Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petrie

o'clock to Michael Shane, followed immediately by the Casebook of

612
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,240
Gregory Hood. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

613
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,079
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Well, I like this episode, not only does

614
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,119
anyone die in this episode, but it really turns out.

615
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:21,039
Speaker 3: That something logical is happening. And that is such a

616
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,279
nice feature, I.

617
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,119
Speaker 2: Think because when I first listened to it, I was

618
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,640
expecting something really convoluted, and it was just a simple

619
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:39,440
yet eloquent solution, and I really, I really appreciated it.

620
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:42,079
All right, Well, I do want to remind you to
