The Petri family, the family 6 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,720 that took time to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,520 Doctor Watson tell us about an exciting adventure he shared 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,360 with his old friend, that master detective Sherlock Holmes, and 9 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,240 said, while you're getting comfortable, I'd like to tell 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,000 you about an old, old American custom, the custom of serving a 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,040 glass of Sherry wine before dinner. 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,240 Petri, California Sherry. You know Petri Sherry is to a 13 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,800 good meal what the overture is to a good musical comedy or an 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,040 opera. Before you sit down the dinner 15 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,720 table, just pour yourself a little glass of Petri Sherry and 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560 sip it slowly. Look at that beautiful amber 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,280 colour, smell the fragrance of those sun ripened grapes and 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,240 taste that fine Sherry flavour. You'll agree with me, I'm sure 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160 that Petri Sherry is the best beginning a good meal ever had. 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,600 And say, if you happen to like your Sherry dry as I do, you'll 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,880 really like Petri Pale Dry Sherry. 22 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,800 Believe me, you can't go wrong with any wine that bears the 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,280 name Petri, the proudest name in the history of American wines. 24 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,400 And now let's drop in on the good Doctor Watson, who's 25 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,320 waiting for us in his California ranch house. 26 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Good evening, Doctor. Good evening, Mr. Foreman. 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,480 Come in and make yourself a toe. Thank you, Doctor. 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,440 Sitting here with the lights off, I see if you've been 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320 getting yourself in the mood for tonight's Sherlock Holmes. 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Story. No, my boy, I was watching the 31 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,920 sunset. Quite a beautiful tonight. 32 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,560 I doctor the sunset over an hour ago. 33 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,960 Yes, I know that young full of a lad, I know that. 34 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,280 But at my age of fellows entitled to take a little snooze 35 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,360 after dinner, isn't he? Of course he is, Doctor. 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,560 And now that we've settled that, how about tonight's story? 37 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,920 Well, a very beautiful girl figured prominently in this 38 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,080 adventure. Mr. Foreman. 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,960 Her name was Jasmine Lafleur. Huh. 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,800 Say that again, Doctor. Please, I know my boy, but that 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,200 was her stage name when she was a magician's assistant. 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity of seeing Jasmine 43 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,680 Lafleur in the theatre, but I'm told that she was a fascinating 44 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,720 figure in tights and spangles. When Holmes and I first met her, 45 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,720 however, she was dressed a little more conventionally and 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160 her name then Diana Venering, Lady Venering. 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,520 Lady Venering say those tights and spangles really paid off, 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400 didn't they? Well, how did you and Sherlock 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,680 Holmes come to meet up with her doctor? 50 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,720 In rather spectacular style, Mr. Foreman, Miss Lafleur became 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160 something of a femme fatale in the early 1900s. 52 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320 First of all, she married senior Rossoni, the magician for whom 53 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760 she was working on the wedding night. 54 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,560 He was mysteriously stabbed to death a few months later. 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Madame Rossoni very fetching in her widow's weeds. 56 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,200 I'm sure that Sir Wilfred Vennering and after a whirlwind 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,960 courtship. She married him. 58 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Don't tell me he got murdered too. 59 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,080 He did. Mr. Foreman also on the night of 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,400 the wedding, but this time the police found a suspect. 61 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,280 It was a certain Major Beckworth, cousin of the dead 62 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,120 man and an ardent suitor of the fair, Diana. 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480 The trial at the Old Bailey was one of the most sensational to 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,440 ever remember Sherlock Holmes and I, in court on the closing 65 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280 day of the jury, were still considering their verdict. 66 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Holmes the. The jury's been out over 8 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,120 hours. I bet you they can't agree on a 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,840 verdict. Maybe a new? 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Trial. I think not, old chap. 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,120 Look, here they come. Now, you know, there's a strong 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560 moral probability of guilt, but I'm sure they'll agree that 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,320 there's insufficient evidence to convict. 73 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,280 Oh. That's you're right. 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Just look at lady veteran down there ahead of us. 75 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320 What a what a stunning woman. Yes, and a woman of great poise 76 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:05,920 and. Courage. 77 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Here it comes. Gentleman of the Jury, have you 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,840 arrived at a verdict? We have. 79 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Me a lot. I'll say you. 80 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,320 You're paying the defendant. Guilty or not guilty? 81 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,680 Not guilty? Exactly. 82 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,160 Come on Watson, let's get a breath of fresh air. 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,880 I was wondering perhaps we shouldn't go over and 84 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,360 congratulate you in the veteran. On what? 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,840 The fact that our husband's murderer has not been found. 86 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:39,320 I suppose you were. You ever read the book of Turbid 87 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,840 Watson? Turbid. 88 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800 I don't think so. When was it published? 89 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080 All little before our time. Oh, Jeff, it's an Old Testament 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080 story. Whatever made you think of it 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,600 this moment? Well, it's so remarkably 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,880 opposite for the case Lady Summering. 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,520 It deals with the highly peculiar series of murders, 94 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,160 seven of them if you remember correctly. 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680 It was a murderer. A jealous demon by the name of 96 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Asma Dares who strangled husbands on their wedding 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960 nights. Well, judging by the verdict 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640 just now made you back to us isn't the Asma Diaz. 99 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:22,480 So whatever you call him in this case, here we are. 100 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,120 Lady Venring, widow of the murdered man, says that she will 101 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,600 marry the suspect. Lady Venring told newspaper 102 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680 reporters this afternoon that if Major Beckwith is acquitted, she 103 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,040 will marry him before we get his out. 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440 From her soul homes, there's a positive sparkle in your eyes 105 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,600 you read about. Her, I must admit, the lady 106 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,800 fascinates me, old chap. I hope before she becomes 107 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,040 involved in any further tragedies that we may have the 108 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200 opportunity of meeting her. And something tells me that we 109 00:05:52,200 --> 00:06:03,200 will. Sunday papers are certainly 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,920 having a field day over the veteran case. 111 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Did you read them? No, I didn't watch it. 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200 There's a complete life history of Lady Veteran and one of them 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,560 with photographs. It's rather interesting really. 114 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,680 What are you doing over there at home? 115 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080 Looking out of the window. Ah, yes, yes. 116 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,960 You expecting anybody home? No. 117 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:29,040 Come over here all fella. That's it, clergyman. 118 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,400 There's a very agitated one, so the way he's placing up and down 119 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,080 and looking up at our window too. 120 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,800 Joe What I. Yes, there's a fanatical look 121 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,920 about him which suggests either the martyr at the stake or the 122 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,720 Inquisitor lighting the faggots. Mrs. Hudson's letting him in 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,200 now. Well, I'll be interested to know 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,800 what he's come to us about and hear footsteps on the stairs. 125 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,920 Here. I'll, I'll go and have a look 126 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,840 how to do. Sir, Come along in with you. 127 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,960 It's all right. Thank you, Missus Hudson. 128 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,840 You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I am, Sir, and this is my 129 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,560 colleague, Doctor Watson. My name is Whalen, the Reverend 130 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,600 Arthur Whalen. How'd you do, Sir? 131 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240 How'd you do, Sir? Sit down, could you, and tell me 132 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,520 what I can do for you? Thank you. 133 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,280 Mr. Holmes, this this is a very difficult subject to broach. 134 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440 In fact, it's only after intense personal conflict that I've been 135 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,800 able to force myself to come to you. 136 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200 May I ask you, are you familiar with the book of Toby? 137 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,240 Toby, great to see you. You were talking about that 138 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,840 yesterday. Huh. 139 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,840 I see that you've come to consult me about the venering. 140 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,920 Case, but that's amazing. How did you know? 141 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,800 Has Lady Venering been in touch with you? 142 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,240 No Sir, but I'm familiar with the Book of Tobit and Lady 143 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560 Venering's case firstly resembles that of the woman 144 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Sarah and the Old Testament story more closely. 145 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,720 Than you realize, Mr. Holmes, Did you know that before each 146 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680 one of Lady Venering's husbands was killed, they received a 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,680 threatening note? Yes, I recall that from the 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,040 trial. Signed in some sort of gibberish 149 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,880 with the Sir. No, doctor, yesterday I was 150 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,080 permitted for the first time to examine one of these. 151 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,680 Books the apparent. Gibberish was, in reality 152 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,440 ancient Hebrew writing. Indeed, were you able to 153 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,120 translate it? Yes, Mr. Holmes, In effect it 154 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,600 said if you go through with this marriage, your hours are 155 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640 numbered. And it was signed as Modaeus. 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,840 The name of the jealous demon who strangled husbands in the 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,160 Book of Tobit. Exactly. 158 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,760 Just why have you come to me? Sir, I want you to talk to 159 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,080 Diana, to Lady Van Ring, to tell her she must not go through with 160 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,360 this new marriage. Mother is stalking her. 161 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,920 Mr. Holmes. I have argued with her, prayed 162 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640 with her, implored her to realize her danger, but she is 163 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,360 adamant. Her. 164 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,840 I'm afraid I feel extremely presumptuous in giving her my 165 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,200 advice. No, Mr. Holmes. 166 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,640 I have. Prepared the way. 167 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,320 For you, you. Could, I'm sure, her realize her 168 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,920 danger? And she's willing to see what 169 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,520 you say. Willing and anxious. 170 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,760 Very well, but I'd like to ask you a few questions first. 171 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520 Anything, Mr. Holmes. What is your interest in art? 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,240 She she's a member of my flock. She needs my guidance. 173 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,520 Nothing further, no. No, Mr. Holmes. 174 00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,480 OK. I believe that you performed the 175 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000 marriage ceremony at both of her previous weddings. 176 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480 Yes. Are you proposing to officiate 177 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,400 the ceremony if she marries Major Beckwith? 178 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,360 Well, I. I don't know. 179 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,680 I'm hoping that marriage will never take place, and so I want 180 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,800 you to help me, Mr. Holmes. Where does the lady live? 181 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,760 47 Berkeley Square. Very well, Doctor Watson and I 182 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,680 will call on her this afternoon. I doubt. 183 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,320 If I can be there myself. In fact, Diana might speak more 184 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,760 freely if I'm not. But here's my my card. 185 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,720 You'll know where to get in touch with me if you want to. 186 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,400 Anyway, what's up? Good day to you gentlemen and I. 187 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,960 I'm greatly in your debt. Good day, good day. 188 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Strange business homes. I I can't believe that Mister 189 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,440 Whelan's motives are entirely impersonal. 190 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,040 Nor can I go chap. We're laughing about. 191 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,840 I was thinking of the book of Tobit Watson in that the. 192 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,600 Role of Protector the. Role I have just been asked to 193 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320 take was played by the Archangel Raphael. 194 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,800 I can't help feeling, Watson, that I'm making distinct strides 195 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:21,050 in my profession. Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I'm so glad 196 00:10:21,050 --> 00:10:23,170 to meet you. I do do, Lady Vinering. 197 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,560 May I introduce my old friend Doctor Watson? 198 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,040 How are? You, Doctor Watson, we're. 199 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,360 Glad to meet you, lady. Let's sit down, shall we? 200 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,120 You're just in time for tea. Thank you. 201 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,800 You know why we're here, of course. 202 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,320 Naturally, Mr. Whalen came round here as soon as he'd left you. 203 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,560 You ought to persuade me to look after my mortal affairs while he 204 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:52,280 takes care of my immortal ones. Isn't that it may. 205 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,680 I say, Mr. Holmes, that I'm flattered that a man of your 206 00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,400 Eminence should be sufficiently interested. 207 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,000 To bother about you underestimates your own 208 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,560 importance, Lady Ben Ring, though I may mention that if 209 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,440 your problem had been as simple as Mr. Whirler made it out to 210 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,520 be, I might have been otherwise engaged. 211 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720 For being very frank and a little mysterious. 212 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,040 Are you suggesting that Mister Flailen didn't tell you 213 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000 everything? I am, and I hope you will be 214 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,480 more candid with. Me Sherlock Holmes, I like you. 215 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,200 You're most refreshing milk and sugar on your. 216 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,280 Tea, I just know. Can you here? 217 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160 You are. How about you, Doctor Watson? 218 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,560 It's the same way please. Thank you. 219 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,200 And now, Mr. Holmes, perhaps you'll tell me why you think 220 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480 that you haven't been told everything. 221 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,160 Before I answer that Lady of entering, I wonder if I might 222 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,680 ask you some questions. But of course, anything. 223 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,440 When your first husband, Sigur Rosani was killed, did the 224 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,040 police find any suspects? Yes, one Ferdinand Gautier, a 225 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360 young man who had been an assistant in our magician's act. 226 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,440 A stupid good looking boy who thought he was in love with me. 227 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360 But of course Inspector Lestrade had to release him. 228 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,440 There was no evidence. Inspector Lestrade? 229 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Well, you can bet that if he arrested him, the boy was 230 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,520 innocent. A warning note was found among 231 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,680 your husband's effects, wasn't it? 232 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Yes, and it was signed in Hebrew with the name as Mudaeus that 233 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,440 perhaps you're not familiar with the book of Tobid. 234 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560 Oh, yes, yes, I I'm, I'm familiar with it, Lady 235 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,280 Venturing. How did you know then that the 236 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,280 Hebrew letter signified that name? 237 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,360 Mr. Whelan translated them for me. 238 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,200 Oh, I see. And also read me the book of 239 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,040 Tobid. He's always been particularly 240 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120 fond of that book, perhaps because it illustrates his own 241 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,000 ideas on the dangers of marriage. 242 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,400 Home told us that he hasn't seen one of the warning notes until 243 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880 yesterday. Precisely, Lady Venry, I read in 244 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,720 the papers that you intend to marry Major Bickwith, the man 245 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,200 who has just been tried for your late husband's murder. 246 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480 Yes, Mr. Holmes. When you read Marian, may I ask? 247 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,200 When it pleases me. Doesn't it occur to you that a 248 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,240 great deal of comments will be caused? 249 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,920 Also that Major Beckwith's life is in obvious danger. 250 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Of course, it occurs to be my dear man that because of two 251 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,480 tragic marriages, am I to spend the rest of my life alone, as 252 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Mr. Whelan would have me do? I'm young, alive. 253 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,640 Peter, what are you doing here? I just arrived back in England 254 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,280 today. Diana. 255 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,840 What's this I read? About you marrying Beckwith. 256 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,040 Peter, I have guests Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor 257 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,520 Watson. This is Peter Mccomas, one of 258 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,880 our most promising young painters. 259 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,400 Diana told me it isn't true. When I left England, you loved 260 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720 me and I you. I come back and. 261 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,760 What do I find? You're planning to marry 262 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,160 Beckwith? Well, I won't. 263 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520 Stand for it. If you think you can throw me 264 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,960 over like some silly boy, you're very much mistaken. 265 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,760 I can tell things, you know, I can tell lots of. 266 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,760 Things get out of here, Peter. Get out. 267 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,680 Say hi, Anna. And don't come back until you've 268 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,280 learned manners and discretion. But Diana. 269 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:59,160 Get out. I'm sorry, gentlemen. 270 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800 Are there any more questions you wanted to ask me, Mr. Holmes? 271 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,400 Uh, one Lady Bennering. Uh, where is your fiance, Major 272 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Beckwith? He's upstairs. 273 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,400 I'm letting him stay here until the scandal of the trial has 274 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,360 died down. I must see him at once and once. 275 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,800 Why? Holmes, He's in no danger until 276 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,000 the marriage takes place. The marriage has taken place, 277 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,600 Watson, unless I'm very much mistaken, it. 278 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,720 Makes you think so, Mr. Holmes, you're much too discreet and 279 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,000 intelligent lady of entering to let him stay here in your house 280 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,640 unless you were already married. We were married this morning, 281 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,560 but we plan to keep the factor secret for a few months until 282 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,880 the scandal had died down. Now talk to him, please. 283 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,760 I promise. I'll ring for the Butler and 284 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,440 ask. Him to come down. 285 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,000 May I ask Madam, who married you? 286 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480 The Reverend Arthur Queen. Of course. 287 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,040 And all the time he talked to us today and you perfectly welled 288 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,080 this marriage had taken place. You must have just come from it. 289 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,400 I don't trust that man, Holmes. Oh, there you are, Hudson. 290 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840 I just rang for you.

Excuse me, gentlemen. 298 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,000 Dreadful business home. The third husband murdered on 299 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,080 his wedding day. But what a woman, Watson. 300 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,200 She's super magnificent. What on? 301 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,600 Earth do you mean? Her What courage but 302 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120 unconquerable spirit in the face of a fresh tragedy. 303 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Watson. She fascinates me. 304 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,320 I haven't seen such a splendid female since we solved that case 305 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:52,480 for the Bohemia. Doctor Watson's story will 306 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,400 continue in just a few seconds, time enough to remind you that 307 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,760 the easiest way to make good food taste better is to serve 308 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,080 that good food with a swell Petri wine. 309 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,840 And there are two Petri wines in particular just made to go with 310 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480 food. Petri California so turned a 311 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,400 delicate white wine with a subtle flavor that's perfect 312 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,880 with chicken and fish. And Petri California Burgundy, a 313 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,760 hearty, rich red wine that's out of this world with any meat or 314 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080 meat dish.

And now back to tonight's new 318 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800 Sherlock Holmes adventure. The famous detective and his old 319 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,480 friend Doctor Watson have become involved in the affairs of 320 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,200 thrice married Diana, one time magician's assistant. 321 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,840 Each of her husbands has been mysteriously murdered on his 322 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640 wedding day, the latest murder occurring on the same day that 323 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are brought into the 324 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,720 case. As we rejoin our story, it's a 325 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,640 month later, and for some obscure reason, Sherlock Holmes 326 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120 seems to have lost interest in the case, though not in the 327 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,000 beautiful. Mr. Holmes. 328 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,520 That's the start. It's over. 329 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,319 A month now since Major Beckwith was murdered and we haven't 330 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:13,079 found a single clue. You expect me to supply the 331 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:14,440 deficiencies of Scotland? Yard. 332 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,800 Well, it's unlikely not to help us, Mr. Holmes. 333 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,359 And after all, you and Doctor Watson were in the house when it 334 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,680 happened. If you. 335 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,920 Ask me, the murderers I the Mccomas, that Irish painter, or 336 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,520 the clergyman Waylon, What do? You think? 337 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,000 As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed? 338 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600 Lestraden, I wish you'd stop bothering me, but I think I am 339 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,160 nothing but a detecting machine. Mr. Rose, whatever's come over 340 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:41,880 you, Holmes, you're not going out again this evening Are. 341 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,520 You. I'm afraid so. 342 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,680 Well, this will be. The fourth night in a row, I was 343 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,920 hoping that we might have a nice quiet evening in front. 344 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,200 Of the I'm sorry, Watson, but I promised to take Diana to the 345 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040 horse show at Olympia. I should be home by midnight. 346 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,360 I'm scarce, Mr. Whelan. You're seeing altogether too 347 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,560 much of Diana. She seems to be completely under 348 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,120 your spell. You introduced me to her in the 349 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,440 1st place with the request that I keep an eye on her. 350 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880 I made a great mistake as her spiritual protector, I'm afraid 351 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,240 I must ask. You to stop seeing her, I'm 352 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,160 afraid I must ask you, Sir, to mind your own business. 353 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,640 I said Holmes, have you seen the paper that that violist desire 354 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,040 is playing at the Albert Hall tonight? 355 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,800 No, I haven't looked at the paper today. 356 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,040 We might do along the. Same one because I can't hold 357 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,200 you up. No, I'm picking Diana to the 358 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,160 French maid at Dallas Theatre. I hear it's a a charming musical 359 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:43,640 comedy. Look here, we've been friends 360 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,400 for a good many years now. Very. 361 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,480 True Hello and I. Think I'm entitled to speak to 362 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,400 you straight from the shoulder? Of course you are, Watson. 363 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,920 Very well, then, this Diana Beckworth. 364 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,800 Oh, it's your own business, I suppose, but I can't bear to see 365 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840 I'm making such a fool of you. You've neglected. 366 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,280 You're working. Tell us that you met her. 367 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960 You get about as a young fellow, 20 What's come over you? 368 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,960 Stop. Stop pacing about the old chap, 369 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,960 William and Saddam. In fact, it might be a good idea 370 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,520 if you fortified yourself with a little Brandy from the Tantalus. 371 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,560 There. What I'm about to tell you. 372 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:21,240 Maybe something of a shock. Watson, Diana and I are getting 373 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,400 married tomorrow. What did you say? 374 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,360 I'm getting married tomorrow. Good to. 375 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,120 You're insane. Oh, that's not very flattering, 376 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,760 Watson. Anyway, I don't see why you 377 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,360 should be so surprised. You, you you yourself married 378 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,800 and left Baker Street once. Didn't. 379 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,720 You, you homes a confirmed woman. 380 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,640 No, no. No, no, my, you. 381 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,680 What's No, indeed no. You will remember in our 382 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,400 adventure that you titled A Scandal in Bohemia, I met a lady 383 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,040 that I have often referred to as a The Woman. 384 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,520 You mean Irene Adler? But she was a. 385 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Criminal. Exactly. 386 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,360 And yet Diana has the same magnificent characteristics, 387 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640 keen intelligence, courage and unconquerable spirit at Holmes. 388 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680 Three of her husbands murdered on their wedding nights. 389 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,640 You're proposing to be the 40. Rubbish, my dear Philip, because 390 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,680 tragedy has attended her previous marriages. 391 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:10,440 Is she to go through life alone? Holmes, you you really mean it, 392 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,840 don't you? Of course I do. 393 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,000 I think I will have a lip of brand. 394 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,920 Oh, don't take it so bad, the old fellow. 395 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,400 We'll continue to see a lot of each other. 396 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,360 Diana's very fond of you, you know. 397 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,400 I'm glad who's going to perform the ceremony? 398 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,560 Not the the Reverend Mr. Whelan. No, no. 399 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,920 No, no, We decided, in view of Diana's previous marriages, that 400 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,880 he might prove to be A trifle, well, unlucky. 401 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,480 A serviceman named Vernay will officiate. 402 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,680 Whelan, of course, insists on being present just the same. 403 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,640 What? Time is the wedding tomorrow. 404 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,800 2:00 Oh one, I should have mentioned this before. 405 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,720 I hope your cutaway coat and top hat are in a good state. 406 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Preservation. You will be a pretty prominent 407 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,560 figure at the ceremony, you know. 408 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,920 You mean that? Well, I mean that if Sherlock 409 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,680 Holmes gets married, who else can be his best man but his old 410 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800 friend Doctor Watson? It's elementary, my dear fellow. 411 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:12,320 Elementary. I now pronounce who men and 412 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,160 wife, and those whom God had joined together, let no man put 413 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:32,810 asunder. Diana, I'm going to claim the 414 00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,570 privilege of the best man and give you a kiss. 415 00:21:35,770 --> 00:21:41,960 Of course you shall, Doctor. Just Lucky Fuller of. 416 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Course, I am old Jack. Sherlock, I'm going upstairs to 417 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,920 change my dress. Now, very well, Diana. 418 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040 I'll be up shortly. I'll see you later, Doctor 419 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,240 Watson. Very well, Mrs. Holmes, I never 420 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,720 thought I'd love to say that. What's no fellow? 421 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,160 I'm worried. Worried today? 422 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,920 Oh, my good fellow, what's the matter? 423 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,280 Well, just before the ceremony, I received one of those warning 424 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,240 notes signed by Asma Deus. Oh, you better be careful, home. 425 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,840 I think I'll slip out and have a pipe or two on the letter. 426 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,400 Yes. Look after my guests for me, 427 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,280 will you? And keep your eyes open and your 428 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,560 ears. I will indeed. 429 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,320 Very warm Stew. Ellen, would you care for a 430 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,480 glass of champagne or a punch or something or other? 431 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Thank you. No, doctor. 432 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,520 I'm in no mood for celebration. I'm certain that Diana has made 433 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,280 a shocking mistake. Well, really, Sir, I don't. 434 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,920 Think I only came here in a last minute attempt to dissuade her. 435 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,040 Now that I've failed, I shall leave. 436 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,280 Good day, Sir. Doctor Watson. 437 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,440 Oh, hello, McCullough. Where's Mr. Holmes? 438 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,000 We'll be back in a few minutes. Would you care for a glass of 439 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,720 champagne, Sir? Well. 440 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,280 Thank you. I should like to drink a toast 441 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,960 of the pear. I've been in love with Diana for 442 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,480 years, you know, But, well, she wouldn't marry me. 443 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,440 And, well, I suppose I might as well make the best of it. 444 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,720 I must say, your friend Sherlock Holmes seems like a splendid 445 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,280 fellow. He is indeed Mccomas. 446 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,000 In fact, I may say, excuse me, Sir. 447 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:07,280 All right, Holmes, I'm coming. What does the matter, Holmes? 448 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,800 Follow me. Lock the door behind you. 449 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,920 Allow me to introduce you to the demon Asmodeus Watson. 450 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,640 Unfortunately, at the moment she's in a fate. 451 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,600 Good Lord, it's Diana. Exactly. 452 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,680 Always an impetuous woman, she made the mistake of trying to 453 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,000 stab me with that knife, so I bent over to strap up a 454 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,720 suitcase. She didn't allow for the wall 455 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,360 mirror in which I was watching her. 456 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,360 You mean you suspected? You're all a loss. 457 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,840 I did, old fellow, but probably it was to find the proof. 458 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,320 I first suspected her when I knew that she had been a 459 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,120 magician's assistant. The key to the profession of 460 00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,040 magic is misdirection, and these murders have been a perfect 461 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,000 example of misdirectional motive. 462 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,320 How do you mean her? Well, by creating Espadares. 463 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,000 Thanks to the well meaning stories of the Reverend Mr. 464 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,640 Whelan. Whose theological libraries? 465 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,120 She must have copied the Hebrew signature. 466 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,960 She focused the murders on jealousy, concealing the fact 467 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,800 that the one person with a perfect motive was herself, the 468 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,400 widow who was to inherit. Why hasn't? 469 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,680 She been caught before. She was devilishly clever. 470 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,040 She left no clues except an indirect one that I had once 471 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,960 spotted that the likeliest person to be able to approach a 472 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,000 bridegroom unsuspected and stab him is his bride. 473 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,160 And now I wish you'd see if you can revive her, old fellow when 474 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,720 the police get here. I should like Missus Holmes to 475 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,040 be in full possession of all her faculties. 476 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Holmes, I must say I never expected to be driving back with 477 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,280 you to Baker Street on your wedding day. 478 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,680 I can't tell you I feel. Here. 479 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,360 Or what's you really thought that I deserted? 480 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:44,840 You didn't. You. 481 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,000 Well, actually, I wish you'd tell me the truth. 482 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,400 Why? I couldn't tell anyone, not even 483 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400 you. If the faintest shadow of 484 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,760 suspicion at the end of her mind, I'd never have called her. 485 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,920 Well, it seems to me you paid to pay high price, Holmes. 486 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,960 You told me you made a will in her favour. 487 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,360 Supposing something happens to you before her trial, she'd get 488 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,440 the money, you know. Oh, the will. 489 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,920 Alone or that was worthless. I told Diana that it was a 490 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,400 holographic will and perfectly valid. 491 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,240 Well, what on earth is a holographic? 492 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,960 A will drawn up in one's own handwriting on a piece of birth. 493 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,040 Plain paper. Such a document is quite legal, 494 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,360 but I drew mine up on a paper with well with a left head that 495 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,000 made it invalid well. I see, but the fact remains that 496 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560 you are married home. I I really. 497 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,960 Fooled you completely, didn't I wasn't. 498 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,400 Didn't the name of the clergyman who married us suggest anything? 499 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,400 To you, Reverend Vernay? No. 500 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,640 And why her shouldn't? Well. 501 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,800 Vernay was a French painter of some note. 502 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,520 He also happens to have been a great uncle of mine and my 503 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,640 crops. You mean that your brother 504 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,440 Mycroft was a clergyman? I mean that Mycroft was 505 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,160 disguised as a clergyman, and a very convincing job he did too, 506 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,920 a more satisfactory clergyman than the Reverend Mr. Whaler, no 507 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,200 doubt, whose possible complicity may compel him to answer some 508 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,040 very awkward. Questions and you're not 509 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,920 married? Put myself home. 510 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,600 I don't know what to. Say, but I suggest that you say 511 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,560 nothing, my dear chap. Let's just sit back quietly. 512 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,400 AS2 good friends can and rule about the mutability of human 513 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:21,520 affairs. Well, Doctor, tonight's 514 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080 adventure was really a little extraordinary, to say the least. 515 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,720 Holmes sure had a narrow escape A. 516 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,040 Dublin Arrow Mr. Foreman, Dublin Arrow. 517 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,720 He not only escaped the the jaws of death, but he also escaped 518 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,800 the the clutches of matrimony. Actually, the story had a happy 519 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,160 ending for everybody but Lady Venering. 520 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,760 Jasmine Lafleur. What about that artist fellow 521 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,880 Mccormus? How did he take it? 522 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,280 Oh, very well. Very well indeed. 523 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,400 In fact, in gratitude, he even painted Holmes as ported. 524 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,480 Not exactly a good likeness, though. 525 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,160 One of those garden artist who pet his impressions of a person, 526 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,400 but rather than a fortress. What do you mean? 527 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,880 Well now let me see if he would have paint his impression of 528 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,480 you. You'd probably end up by looking 529 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,200 like a bottle of Petri wine in a sports. 530 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,520 Jacket. Go ahead, Doctor. 531 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,560 You can tease me all you want, but I'll still rave about Petri 532 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,800 wine. And why not? 533 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,040 The facts bear me out that Petri wine most certainly is good 534 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,240 wine. After all, the Petri family 535 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,640 knows all there is to know about the art of turning plump, sun 536 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,880 ripened grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. 537 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600 That's because they've been making wine for generations, 538 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520 ever since they started the Petri business way back in the 539 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,360 1800s. And because the making of Petri 540 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,800 wine is a family affair, the family has been able to hand 541 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,600 down from father to son from father to son, all their skill 542 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,400 and knowledge and experience. And believe me, that adds up to 543 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,880 plenty.
