standard check hospital Jail the more

alarmed there's normally a perfectly

good explanation mr. Sinclair Robert

we are from the Ebro tribe of bucking a

fossil does that mean anything to you I

know it's an Africa there bro is your

tribe it's the tribe of your ancestors

my family hasn't been in Africa for four

generations that's true

your father and his father's father and

even his father before him were not born

on the continent nevertheless they were

a royal blood

where he could be lady what what do you

think lady long dress and a funny hat

Lisa baby she has such a vivid

imagination in the offices upset her but

I saw them

you saw some people taking your daddy

away Lisa

why didn't you tell me this before mrs.

Williams if she did see something she

probably didn't realize what was

happening Oh Peter can you show us where

you saw them

I took you daddy here in the car you

remember what color the car was what did

they look like honey they were black

mrs. Williams under the circumstances I

think it'd be a good idea if you and

Lisa spent a few days at the Ellington

townhouse

we'll just get our things together come

with mommy Lisa Nicky take believe look

here yeah

oh my God look at these

interesting come on you're right yeah

- tiny shoes sure honey but we have to

hurry

this can belong to anybody

yeah probably right we will photograph

them anyway I'll have Susie

cross-reference and in the computer

I'm sure she'll think of something right

doesn't anybody knock around thank you

now perhaps we can talk look I don't

know who you guys are looking for but I

swear to god man you got the wrong guy

what you're doing you who you would what

does it look like I'm with the phone

company

working for the gas company

all right mr. Gassman you're coming for

a ride yes we going on a picnic

no you're right Peter the beads are

undoubtedly Africa I have friends in the

Gambian and Kenyan embassies I'm sure

they'll be able to identify thank you

very much okay I have the voice

recordings do you know how many African

dialects they are give or take a hundred

mrs. Williams is your husband have any

dealings with Africa or Africans no he's

never been there and as far as I know he

doesn't even have any African students I

would like you to listen to this tape

see if you can identify the accident of

the man at court

okay thank you all right I'll go over to

the house and relieve Luke okay he said

that's great

booty have a look at in a minute

it's a wonderful color

yeah Nikki Luke's gone it looks as they

put up quite a struggle

yeah I'm on my way back there's more

going on here than meets the eye

listen

my associates can continue with their

approach to this situation

but I'm a reasonable man and if you

cooperate with us we can make it worth

your while

so where is Professor Williams

my man if I tell you what you wanna know

what's gonna stop you from putting a

bullet between my eyes cuz we're not

interested in you or we want this

Williams

there's enough money in the gold and

minerals for all of us

okay

I can get you professor Williams I'm

sure you'll find it in the computer okay

he's the most up-to-date maps of Africa

you can get mrs. Williams has identified

the accident as deal and that dialect is

spoken on the Ivory Coast

Benin Burkina Faso Niger Ghana and Togo

Togo

yep all of them here on the western tier

of the continent that's interesting

their dialect that we've identified is

spoken in two of those countries okay

well that makes the Kino fester the

common link JJ natal says the light will

get the Encyclopaedia Susie Maxis the

wire services for bikina professor said

what else do you know about this country

mr. addington you said that the clothes

were ceremonial what type of ceremonies

no sir but we'll keep you posted

I don't understand is why they came back

they already had the professor why did

they take Luke so he couldn't identify

him there were probably after mrs.

Williamson Issa no I don't think so

you see we know that Lisa saw them which

means both she and her mother were at

home the kidnappers could just as easily

have taken both of them at the same time

yeah you're right

and the man who called the kidnapper I

mean there have been absolutely no

demands for ransom and there was no

hostility whatsoever in his voice Luke

on other hand appears to have come upon

something completely different

here it is Peter Nikki Kino Paris oh

yeah originally French in the mercy of

one military coup after another since

its independence in 1960 seems to have a

number of native tribes mostly

monarchies hey don't look over here

these clothes and bees are from the Ebro

tribe Susy then cross-reference burkina

faso with a bruh thanks residence

yeah it's me give me the big guys Luke

talk to me don't ask any questions just

do what I tell you now listen

yes and we're willing to make a deal for

you that's not important let's say I

represent some business interests who

can be very generous yeah honestly

Riverside Park

oh and bring the professor

what's he worth to you 100,000 our man

and 215 you guys over dere

you talk to the kidnappers what did they

say

they're holding Luke but they don't have

your husband may think me too I don't

understand

afraid I don't either but it seems

everybody as though we're dealing with

two sets of kidnappers Peter look at

this put on the screen Susy King the

boondi dead no heir apparent of only

Burkina Faso Sempra tried died last

night foul play is suspected

warring fashions fought to gain control

the chimes panic on the mineral

resources that looks a lot like

Professor Williams yes the resemblance

is remarkable

everything is arranged we leave tomorrow

leave I can't just pick up and leave

I thought you understood I understood

what that's suddenly I'm a prisoner just

because your people need a king your

people know my ancestors I'm American

now I've worked hard to get where I am

today you have a responsibility to your

tribe I have a responsibility to my

family let me call my wife please when

you are settled we will come for your

wife and child all right as your king I

command you to let me go

I'm sorry your highness but we cannot do

that besides if you stay you will surely

get killed by you Buganda

I would gladly lay down my life for you

but there are those who care more about

money than the well-being of our people

those that are probably responsible for

the death of our king are you saying

that your King was assassinated

there is no doubt that he was poisoned

why the Ebro lands are rich in manganese

deposits

however we are an agricultural and

hunting society we have not desire to

develop these resources or change our

lifestyle but there are those who would

benefit greatly from the sale of those

resources look I understand your plate

and I now make an appeal to my

government to help your people but that

takes months we need a leader now and if

I refuse to go we have faced but

eventually I absolutely refuse to

participate in a charade okay we have no

choice Luke's ruse is brilliant but he's

back turns into a corner we've no option

and no time and whose fault is that you

agreed to meet them tonight of course I

did the sooner we find out who wants the

professor the better our chances are of

stopping the people who really have him

and of getting Luke back in one piece

Niki you're the wrong sex in the wrong

color there is only one way and I'm here

pretty good they're in my clothes huh

besides a waist being a little knot none

of that sure both absolutely crazy

something could go wrong it's not his

job Peter it's too risky

look Nicky flying a plane isn't exactly

clerical work science Luke's in trouble

and I want to help

okay that here's the plan

shut up thousands pundits like hey hey

what are you guys doing it looks like

you're getting ready for World War three

I thought we had a deal

to the insurance policy that's your

partner doesn't know luck these into the

bargain

parts only gonna take a few seconds

night hundreds of times the AG got it

tradition of royalty in my family's huh
