Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking, Oh martyr, Now
you have to include me out tonight. Angel I mean
Intelligence is firing me to cast a blanket. Yeah, that's
the place in North Africa they made that movie about. No,
they don't plan to star in a picture that if
I behave myself they may use me in a frame.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed
Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Stamon. The Adventures of
the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting
detectives who like Mike Worrying, risk their lives to aid
law enforcement agencies. So join him now when the Falcon
(00:52):
salves the case of the broken Key. According to the Encyclopedia,
Casablanca is a seaport on the Atlantic coast of Morocco,
situated thirty three degrees twenty seven minutes north seven degrees
forty six minutes west, Which shows you how little Encyclopedia knows.
(01:15):
What does that tell you about Casablanca?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Does it conjure up the romance and intrigue? Does it
say if you peek behind the beaded curtain in the
Cafe Tangier, you'd find both there? Personified by Helene Grant,
and though Helene may not be Ingrid Bergman, it works
out even because the boy who just part of those
curtains isn't Humphrey Bogard either.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Mademoiselle Grant, Yes, I am Mulaia Halfit.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I was told to meet you here.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Of course you can identify yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
My credentials, comrade, they seem to be in order. You
are disappointed, very.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
These papers show you a Mulai haffited.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
But how do you know?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I'm Helene Grant.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I naturally assume.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You had no right to a Comintern agent takes nothing
for granted.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Forgive me sit down? Would you care for a drink?
I am a Muslim, comrade.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh yeah, I forgot you find it's strange a follower
of Mohammed can be a.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Member of the Communist Party.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I don't care who you follow, as long as it
doesn't interfere with your work. You cabled Paris that Robert
Force is in Casablanca.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
He is You're sure you've got the right man? Yes,
I took this photograph of him last week. Mm hmm,
it's Robert all right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Who's the girl?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
She arrived with him from Rakish her name is yes,
mean marine.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So Robert is.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Gone native Hoddan.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I meant no offense, mulad, It was a natural reaction.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're annoyed, disturbed? This perhaps a better word. I have
a problem, Comrade.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I would like to disaffiliate myself from the party.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh ridiculous, just because I hurt your feelings.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
My feelings count for nothing. I made this decision many
months ago.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I joined the party hoping it would improve the lot
of my countrymen. You're an idealist, truly, you are amused.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, I realized such people.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Exist, even among ignorant natives.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I apologize for my remark now about Robert Fausche and
this woman.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Madmille has not answered my question.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Manzielle has the same answer for you she has for
Robert Fousche. Why do you think we're looking for him?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Comrade.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Fosche was a member of the party in France, a
valued member. Ten months ago he asked to resign. Naturally,
the party couldn't release him, so he disappeared. Now he
turns up in Casablanca with a native girl. Yes, and
I've been sent here to.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Reason with him.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Mademoiselle had better work quickly. He leaves tonight from Kazis airport.
What he purchased a ticket this afternoon for Cairo.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, maybe I can talk him into canceling.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Now, get a car, comrade, we'll try it. No imagine
(04:37):
finding here.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well it certainly as.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
A small world, much too small.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
You're going somewhere. Why, Well, if you are, i'd avoid Cairo.
I don't think you'd like it this time of the year.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Well, if I knew you will in Casablanca, are you there,
you'd have arranged to stay naturally.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Oh, that would have been lovely. Still it might have
posed a problem. What about Yasmin Yasmin Ooh, isn't that
her name? She's beautiful, Robert Mullah showed me her picture.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Suppose we leave her out of this discussion and she
knows nothing of activities.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Why, comrade, you haven't gone middle class and fallen in love.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I said, we will leave her out of this. Now
here your orders. I refuse to accept him.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I would just get on that plane, Robert, I don't
think you'd like the welcoming committee in Cairo. Do you
remember Emil Russol Emil Ooh, he's waiting.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
For you at the airport. There now.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Personally, I never believed those stories that he learned his
trade working for the Nazis at duckholl Still, one never knows.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Does one? You wouldn't?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Oh, I'm so glad you decided to stay, and won't
Yasmin be please dose? I drop you at the hotel
and you can break the news.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yes, have I the privilege of speaking with Yasmin Marin?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Who is he?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I am called mulai Hafi? What did you wish for myself? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I merely desire to be of service to ma'amselle. You
are acquainted with Robert Fosche?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Are you a friend of Robert?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I am a.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Better friend of yours. Did you know Monsieur Fosche plans
to desert you?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You lie?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Robert would never leave me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Did he ever mention a European lady named Helene Graham?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Are you torturing me?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Why are you telling me all these?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Because we have a great deal in common. Yesmin, we
both have been betray by foreigners.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I do not believe you, But you are.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Not as certain as you were before.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Oh, no, you are lying.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If it pleases you to believe. That's so big. But
I suggest at least.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
An investigation might be in order.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
May Allah be good to.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
You, Robert, Oh beer, open up.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I told you a thousand times.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I should have known he was lying.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
What you imagine? I almost believe him.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
That man you called? The one who gave his name
is Mulayahfidmulah. He said the most awful things a beer,
that you were running away with some woman. And I
was jealous enough too.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
What are you staring at a suitcases?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
He was telling the truth.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You are planning to leave me.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Don't be a fool you ask me?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Then why are the bags packed?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
This is none of your concern.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
I suppose el Grant is none of my concern either.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
What is she to you?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You were going away with the.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Look kas there are certain things you will never.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Understand because I am an ignorant nity.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
God has nothing to do with it. It's too I
was running away, so.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
You admit it will kill you.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'll kill you both, or your little fool put that
I show you you are insane. Don't get out, Oh no, please,
I never want to see you again.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I did not mean it, CHERI. I would never do
anything to hurt you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Will you get out of must put me down.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Put me down, not till you you will never have.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Another opportunity pa gory.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Not unless you forgive me.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
That's nothing to forgive.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Otherwise I will not go.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
All right, I promise you won't be sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Women can be difficult, can't Well?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Did you come from a bedroom?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I suppose I could apologize that I didn't want to
be spotted coming up here?
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Take a card?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Like? You?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Willing private investigations?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
New Yor is the wrong one?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Here?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Try another?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
You are with American intelligence?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Uh huh? I can understand the reason for my dramatic entrance.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I thought you might be interested to know there are
several common turn agents looking for you.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well, that's absurd.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I suppose Helene Grant is in Casablanca for her health.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
What has this to do with you?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We want you to come over the war side.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well, you think I would betray my friends?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I think the shoes on the other foot, they betrayed you.
But and I sold you a bill of goods about
what the party stood for, and you discovered they were
all lies? Isn't that why you left? Well? Isn't it? Yes?
All right. We'd like you on our team. You're in
a position to tell the free world what communism really means.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
You do not realize what you are asking.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They would kill me, now they won't. We'll get you
out of castle blanket.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And how they're watching my every move.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I will manage somehow. I don't suppose trailways. One's out
this firm. Huh wait a minute, I got it. Isn't
there a railroad that runs between Peas and Tangier? He
is all right. I'll RNT a car and drive you
to Fez. You use my name when you get there.
Look up a man named ab Ilkrim. You'll know what
to do.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
And what about yas mean.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
A little bundle of trouble with just in here?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yes? Can she go with me?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
She'll have to wait.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You can a meet or later now years well, she
wouldn't understand you saw. Let me take care of her
and ill gralt and it seems to be my day
for girls. I'll take care of her too. Now you
hurry up and pack. We'll leave first thing in the morning.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I gotcha service.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
This is Helene grand In four to twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't want to make.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
A noise like a tourist.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
But one hour ago I called room service. I haven't
heard from them yet.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
What do I have to do to get Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Well, never mind, I finally made it just the second.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I said, just a second.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Well what you Oh No, no, you mustn't, You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Summer is just about hitting its peak, and we still
have the Labor Day weekend to look forward to and
plan for. That's fine for most of us, but we
should always keep in mind that these long weekend holidays
are often tragic times for some of us who start
out gaily to enjoy them. More than one three hundred
American families will lose one or more of their loved
(12:14):
ones in accidents on the highways. At all times, and
particularly on long holiday weekends. Drivers, though your life depends
on it, it does.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And now back to.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
The adventures of the falcon.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, let's as a blank opion and a bad place
if you want to live it up, but a horrible
spot if you've got to die. But then what place isn't?
But I don't imagine it made much difference to Helene
Grant and her condition. The first I knew of it
were some four hours later, when I remembered my promise
to Robert Forsche and Ustle Low at a comrade Grant's
hotel room to meet in. Nobody answered. I walked in,
(13:01):
and that was my first mistake. She was lying on
the floor under the big ceiling fan, and in the
dim light, the blades made like a windmill above her head.
The effect was almost hypnotic, and then the spell was broken.
Why forgive me, monsieur, I am afraid I started you. Yeah,
I guess you did amid me to introduce myself. I'm
(13:22):
Ari Boulanche at the Prefecture. Well, I can't say this
is exactly a pleasure, inspector, and I can understand that, monsieur, monsieur,
you're wearing Mike wearing Mike wearing. I don't think the
name would mean anything to you.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You are too modest.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Correct me if I am in air, But you are
with American intelligence. How did you know that we too
have our intelligence? See great? Thanks? You know who she was,
Memoiselle Grant. But of course she was a coming to
an agent. You were, as they say, on opposite side
of the Heck. No, no, wait a minute, inspector. If
(13:59):
you think I had anything to do with her murderer, monsieur,
it would never occurred to me. I'm a most unsuspicious type. Still,
as long as you mentioned it, what are you doing here?
I wanted to talk to him. I should have guessed
that for myself. And at the time of her day,
I was in my hotel room reading. It's very strange
you're ready with an alibi when you have no idea
(14:19):
when she was murdered. It's pretty obvious she's been at
about three hours, which had put it around nine o'clock.
How do you arrive at that conclusion the state of
riga morris. Oblige me, monsieur. In addition to your other talent,
you are also a doctor. I don't have to be inspector.
Look at her arms most interesting? I wonder if you
(14:40):
would be kind enough to accompany me to the place
de farce and in the meantime the killer gets away.
I don't think there is much.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Danger of that.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Look.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I tell you you're making a mistake and I should
have to pay for it, and no thanks, say where
you are, messieur? Another step and I should be compared
to shoot. I think you mean that assuredly. Do well
in that case, Sorry, Tella, but you let me no choice.
You mind if I borrow your gun? You will do?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I get this, monsieur?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Where I'm on?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I am sure we will meet again?
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Mike wearing Robert? Open up just a moment, come in,
try and keep me out. I'll lock it. But why
just humor me? You seekulled the car? H you were
to lie me to feze? Oh yeah, well the situation
has changed somewhat. Helene Grant has been murdered. No, yes,
do you mind if I borrow that drink? You don't
(15:50):
seem to be using it.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, how did it happen?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Around nine o'clock to night? Someone walked into a room
at the Bonaparte and shot her three times? Awful?
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Have the end the idea? Who was responsible?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Well, if you asked Boulange and Boulange he's out of
the local prefecture. He suspects me, But why Well, for
one thing, he found me standing over a body. For another,
he knows we worked different sides of the streets. I
see a good for you, then maybe you can explain
it to me. Where were you at nine tonight? Oh
surely you don't think why not? Your motive is every
(16:21):
bit as good as mine. Helene Grant was.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
A threat to you, but you promised to end that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You might not have had much confidence in me. Now
where were you at the JUGHINOI rougiin Wi.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
It is a cafe of the Pleasant Horse.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I thought I told you not to go out.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Then.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It is most fortunate ignored your instructions, although wise I
would not have an alibi.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I went there to say goodbye to Yasmin.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You were great to let me handle her. The situation
was much too delicate, but she felt sure I could
handle Helene.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Apparently it was quiet.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Thanks. So you're with Yasmin?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Or made too ten?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Long goodbye? You mind if I check that? Yes?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
I do?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You are not to disturb well, I wouldn't advise you
to try to stop me, Robert, if I dumped the
police inspector who tried it, figures a mere civilian wouldn't
stand a chance. I'll be seeing you, fella. Oh hello,
(17:20):
yes man. Yeah, nice dressing room you've got here. You
must sing well to rate it.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
What is the meaning of this?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I er hope you'll forgive the intrusion, but it's important
I talk to you.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I am sorry.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I'm very busy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, this won't take long. My name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Mike Wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yes, I'm a friend of Robert Fosch.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Robert never introduced her.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Naturally, there was no need to.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I do not believe you.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, and how would I know? You two pitched the
Battle Royal and the hotel splendid over Helene Grant. Robert
tells me everything. Incidentally, you don't have to worry about
Helene anymore. And she's dead.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You don't seem very upset.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Why should I be?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
She was my enemy.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You don't realize what you're saying. But you knew this.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You say, Robert told you everything?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, he also said you came back to the hotel
again between eight and ten.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Robert said that.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's why. Isn't it true?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I knew it, you know, con Trompa, Sorry, Angel.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
But why should Robert say I was at his hotel
when he was visiting year with me in my dressing room.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
What I said something wrong?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Well, that depends on where you're standing in my spot.
It couldn't have been worse. Sure, Robert was here between
eight and ten. Oh, then he was telling the truth
and nothing. How did you find out about Halene Grant
in the first place, A man told me. This man
got a name.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes, he called himself Mulai half heeed.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh I half oh I half feed? Where did I
hear that? Sure? He was Helene's contact as a blanker.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I do not understand.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, that's just as well.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Now that's Mike quem sir, let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's okay, So do I maw come dad, ain't June.
That's just what I hope to do for my customer.

She direct dandy all American kinds.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Messieur, you like to buy me? No? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Maybe some poor scolls? Very lovely, lady.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I'm sorry, I stocked up in Paris. Where can I
find a Coppa smith Mulai Huffin?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
You are sure you would not like to buy the
poor scars?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh? Well, come to think of it, I guess I would.
I forgot my grandmother collects them.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
No, she would like these, monsieur, and that will be
five hundred find.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Now where can I find Mulai Haffin?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
That is he shop over there by the side of
the iron Jugger.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
If your grandmother would like more postcar, keep you in mind, salam.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
I like him, Salam, what can I do for you? Monsieur, Well,
it all depends. Are you Mulai haff in.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Your seventh Sir?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'm Mike wearing Mike wedding. I'm a comrade from America.
Oh where can we talk?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Here?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Little public, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I sell lower the shade.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's a nice place you got here. You do all
your own metal work, as my father and his father
did before him.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So now we may talk.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I guess you know why I'm here. The party is
off ay disappointed in your work, comrade, and I am
disappointed in the party. Why did you tell you, Asbend
Marin about Halene Grant? You know this, we know everything.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Then you are aware. I informed Ma'amiselle Grant of my
desire to leave the party.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It was getting to be an epidemic. First, Robert Forsche,
Now you what's your reason?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I explained that to Comrade Grant.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
She found unsatisfactory.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
It was her privilege.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So you killed her?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Monsieur is pleased to jest.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You knew she was murdered.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
All Casablanca is aware of this.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yes, I know, but I think you had inside information.
How would you like to take a little ride with me.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I do not think I would care for it.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm afraid I'll have to insist. Moulan.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
First, allow me to show you something. This copper flask
was fashioned by my father.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Or what's that got to do?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Me to finish?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
If you met a friend, you might offer him a
drink by removing the stopper so well, But if you
met an enemy, you again removed the stopper, only this
time you pressed this planza to reveal knife way, monsieur
in knife and I have met the hell weep.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You miss she permit me. I think a little brandy
would not arm you. Inspector, I told you we would
meet again.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You are in pain.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'll live. How did you know where to find me?
A friend of our department advised us. His name isn't
Mulai Haffin, it is indeed, would you like to tell
me what happened? As I'd like to very much. He
tried to kill me. It is understandable, nesper not to me.
You posed as a coming to an agent, so naturally
Mulai thought you would come to his shop to avenge
(22:47):
the murder of Memoiselle Grant, and that proves he killed her.
Why because he desired to protect himself from one he
considered an assessin. I'd tell you he murdered her inspector.
He wanted to leave the party, and she wouldn't let him.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
That He's true.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Horbert Fouche too well, I grant you that. But force
has an alibi, Sir has Mulai What nine o'clock last night?
He was stationed in the lobby of the hotel Splendid,
accompanied by one of my men. But that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
If Mulaia, Robert and the Yasman of alibis for the
time of Helene Grant's murder, who.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Does that leave you?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Monsieur, as I maintained, really loone, I am so glad
we are finally in a cord. Are you looking forward
to a vacation or to holiday weekends filled with carefree relaxation. Unfortunately,
(23:41):
a lot of us will never have those pleasant plans
come true. Yes, for thousands of those dreams will turn
into tragic nightmares because of a traffic accident. Highways are
more crowded than ever, and make no mistake about it,
that means greater danger. Whenever you drive. You can't prevent
all of the traffic accidents that are taking place off
over the country.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But you can prevent that one accident that may happen
to you. Follow the simple rules of driving safety all
the time.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
The life you save may be your own.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And now back to the adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I guess Mama was right, you always said. If I
didn't watch that big tongue of mine, some day I
trip over it. Who knew it was going to be
in the shop of Mulai Huffard. While I lay there
on the floor, Inspector bou Lange made like Florence Nightingale.
I figured there was no percentage in getting up, after all,
I was only due to four on my face and auela.
I think this would prove seteriosectary. Now, if you will
(24:46):
take my arm ansieur, I should be only too happy
to assist you. No wait a minute, Inspector, if you're
thinking of making another escape, I beg you not to
attempt it. I have three men stationed outside, all of
whom are fleet are foot and excellent. No, no, no, no,
you don't understand. You say you had one of your
detectors with Mulai Hofford in the lobby of the splendid
last night.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I did.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Why we were keeping Hubert fresh under surveillance. We anticipated
a little difficulty with a gentleman. Obviously, it never developed, obviously,
and Mula was never out of your man's sight, never once.
They were together till midnight, and I couldn't have been,
or could they? Padronema? Oh brother, am I a jump? Listen, inspector,
(25:26):
I think I see it all. Now, just give me
ten minutes with Robert Force, That's all I ask. It
is not unreasonable, after all, Why shouldn't you have firsh
for ten minutes when I expect to.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Have you for life?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Hello, well of Fa, Hello Jasmin.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Monsieur will Yeah, what happened to you?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Asked me? Better?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
What didn't?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We'd like to see Robert. You cannot, maybe I cannot,
but this gentleman can. He's inspected. Boulange had the prefecture.
Where's your boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I tell you he is not here?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Then you won't mind if we searched the place. You
are wasting your time. Let's try the bedroom, I dad, it.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Will avail you nothing.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
If here she's telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Hey god, he's close her car and afraid to not.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Have your ten minutes with him.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I'll settle for a couple with her. And all right,
where did he go? Yasmin?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
No, I do not know.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You're lying. You must have planned to meet him somewhere
you will never find out. Oh, I wouldn't bet on that, angel.
Why did you lie to me about meeting Robert in
your dressing room last night?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I did not lie.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
He was there, No, he wasn't. That Alibi was strictly
a phony.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Well, they had a couple of men downstairs. They would
have seen him go out. He did not kill that woman.
No one said he did. But you claim he's Alibi
was fabricating the one he volunteered was He said he
spent the evening with Yasmin. But if he was lying,
it follows she couldn't have been with him. Then over
with the Bonaparte killing the woman you thought was your rival.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You are insane.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
No, you're the one who's insane. And it was that
old green eyed monster that did the trick. I kill
you the king, Oh you don't.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
It how to work out like this, Angel, but it
will be the or me. I guess when you come
right down to when I'm no candleman, Well, it merely
goes to prove vein the poets knew what they were
talking about. What is that line again? Yes, hell, let
(27:39):
no fury like a woman scorned, Oh, like a woman
who thinks she's scorned. Actually, Helene wasn't the Asmin's rival.
Perhaps she was the man who embraces the Communist party
can afford no other love. You've got a point there,
so it was not completely wrong when I said this
was a political murder. Not completely Let me sure you're
(28:00):
wearing we have casa blanca forever in your debt if
there is any way we can ever repay. I'm glad
you mentioned that, Inspector, because there is. While I was
looking for Mulai Haffit, I ran into a peddler who
made me buy some postcard before give out with any information.
I see you think you could locate them for me.
You wish to have HEMI stood no, no. I promised
(28:20):
to mail these to Grandma, and it just occurred to
me I'd better get a set for Grandpa too. Goodnight, Inspector.
(28:40):
The Case of the Lonely Hunter.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
The Case of the Lonely Hunter.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
That's the title of next week's Adventure of the Falcon
when Mike Wearing takes a trip down the nile and
learn some croises can be murdered. The Adventures of the
Fall and are based on the famous character created by
Drexel Drake, Produced and transcribed by Bernard L. Schubert, written
by Eugene Wang, and directed by Richard Lewis. Less Damon
(29:11):
was starred as the Falcon with Anne Shepherd as Yasmi.
This program came from New York, Fred Collins speaking
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking, Oh martyr, Now
you have to include me out tonight. Angel I mean
Intelligence is firing me to cast a blanket. Yeah, that's
the place in North Africa they made that movie about. No,
they don't plan to star in a picture that if
I behave myself they may use me in a frame.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed
Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Stamon. The Adventures of
the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting
detectives who like Mike Worrying, risk their lives to aid
law enforcement agencies. So join him now when the Falcon
(00:52):
salves the case of the broken Key. According to the Encyclopedia,
Casablanca is a seaport on the Atlantic coast of Morocco,
situated thirty three degrees twenty seven minutes north seven degrees
forty six minutes west, Which shows you how little Encyclopedia knows.
(01:15):
What does that tell you about Casablanca?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Does it conjure up the romance and intrigue? Does it
say if you peek behind the beaded curtain in the
Cafe Tangier, you'd find both there? Personified by Helene Grant,
and though Helene may not be Ingrid Bergman, it works
out even because the boy who just part of those
curtains isn't Humphrey Bogard either.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Mademoiselle Grant, Yes, I am Mulaia Halfit.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I was told to meet you here.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Of course you can identify yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
My credentials, comrade, they seem to be in order. You
are disappointed, very.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
These papers show you a Mulai haffited.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
But how do you know?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I'm Helene Grant.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I naturally assume.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You had no right to a Comintern agent takes nothing
for granted.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Forgive me sit down? Would you care for a drink?
I am a Muslim, comrade.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh yeah, I forgot you find it's strange a follower
of Mohammed can be a.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Member of the Communist Party.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I don't care who you follow, as long as it
doesn't interfere with your work. You cabled Paris that Robert
Force is in Casablanca.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
He is You're sure you've got the right man? Yes,
I took this photograph of him last week. Mm hmm,
it's Robert all right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Who's the girl?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
She arrived with him from Rakish her name is yes,
mean marine.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So Robert is.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Gone native Hoddan.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I meant no offense, mulad, It was a natural reaction.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're annoyed, disturbed? This perhaps a better word. I have
a problem, Comrade.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I would like to disaffiliate myself from the party.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh ridiculous, just because I hurt your feelings.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
My feelings count for nothing. I made this decision many
months ago.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I joined the party hoping it would improve the lot
of my countrymen. You're an idealist, truly, you are amused.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, I realized such people.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Exist, even among ignorant natives.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I apologize for my remark now about Robert Fausche and
this woman.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Madmille has not answered my question.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Manzielle has the same answer for you she has for
Robert Fousche. Why do you think we're looking for him?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Comrade.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Fosche was a member of the party in France, a
valued member. Ten months ago he asked to resign. Naturally,
the party couldn't release him, so he disappeared. Now he
turns up in Casablanca with a native girl. Yes, and
I've been sent here to.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Reason with him.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Mademoiselle had better work quickly. He leaves tonight from Kazis airport.
What he purchased a ticket this afternoon for Cairo.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, maybe I can talk him into canceling.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Now, get a car, comrade, we'll try it. No imagine
(04:37):
finding here.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well it certainly as.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
A small world, much too small.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
You're going somewhere. Why, Well, if you are, i'd avoid Cairo.
I don't think you'd like it this time of the year.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Well, if I knew you will in Casablanca, are you there,
you'd have arranged to stay naturally.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Oh, that would have been lovely. Still it might have
posed a problem. What about Yasmin Yasmin Ooh, isn't that
her name? She's beautiful, Robert Mullah showed me her picture.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Suppose we leave her out of this discussion and she
knows nothing of activities.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Why, comrade, you haven't gone middle class and fallen in love.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I said, we will leave her out of this. Now
here your orders. I refuse to accept him.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I would just get on that plane, Robert, I don't
think you'd like the welcoming committee in Cairo. Do you
remember Emil Russol Emil Ooh, he's waiting.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
For you at the airport. There now.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Personally, I never believed those stories that he learned his
trade working for the Nazis at duckholl Still, one never knows.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Does one? You wouldn't?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Oh, I'm so glad you decided to stay, and won't
Yasmin be please dose? I drop you at the hotel
and you can break the news.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yes, have I the privilege of speaking with Yasmin Marin?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Who is he?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I am called mulai Hafi? What did you wish for myself? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I merely desire to be of service to ma'amselle. You
are acquainted with Robert Fosche?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Are you a friend of Robert?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I am a.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Better friend of yours. Did you know Monsieur Fosche plans
to desert you?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You lie?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Robert would never leave me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Did he ever mention a European lady named Helene Graham?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Are you torturing me?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Why are you telling me all these?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Because we have a great deal in common. Yesmin, we
both have been betray by foreigners.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I do not believe you, But you are.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Not as certain as you were before.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Oh, no, you are lying.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If it pleases you to believe. That's so big. But
I suggest at least.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
An investigation might be in order.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
May Allah be good to.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
You, Robert, Oh beer, open up.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I told you a thousand times.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I should have known he was lying.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
What you imagine? I almost believe him.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
That man you called? The one who gave his name
is Mulayahfidmulah. He said the most awful things a beer,
that you were running away with some woman. And I
was jealous enough too.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
What are you staring at a suitcases?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
He was telling the truth.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You are planning to leave me.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Don't be a fool you ask me?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Then why are the bags packed?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
This is none of your concern.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
I suppose el Grant is none of my concern either.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
What is she to you?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You were going away with the.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Look kas there are certain things you will never.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Understand because I am an ignorant nity.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
God has nothing to do with it. It's too I
was running away, so.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
You admit it will kill you.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'll kill you both, or your little fool put that
I show you you are insane. Don't get out, Oh no, please,
I never want to see you again.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I did not mean it, CHERI. I would never do
anything to hurt you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Will you get out of must put me down.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Put me down, not till you you will never have.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Another opportunity pa gory.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Not unless you forgive me.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
That's nothing to forgive.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Otherwise I will not go.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
All right, I promise you won't be sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Women can be difficult, can't Well?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Did you come from a bedroom?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I suppose I could apologize that I didn't want to
be spotted coming up here?
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Take a card?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Like? You?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Willing private investigations?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
New Yor is the wrong one?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Here?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Try another?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
You are with American intelligence?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Uh huh? I can understand the reason for my dramatic entrance.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I thought you might be interested to know there are
several common turn agents looking for you.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well, that's absurd.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I suppose Helene Grant is in Casablanca for her health.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
What has this to do with you?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We want you to come over the war side.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well, you think I would betray my friends?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I think the shoes on the other foot, they betrayed you.
But and I sold you a bill of goods about
what the party stood for, and you discovered they were
all lies? Isn't that why you left? Well? Isn't it? Yes?
All right. We'd like you on our team. You're in
a position to tell the free world what communism really means.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
You do not realize what you are asking.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They would kill me, now they won't. We'll get you
out of castle blanket.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And how they're watching my every move.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I will manage somehow. I don't suppose trailways. One's out
this firm. Huh wait a minute, I got it. Isn't
there a railroad that runs between Peas and Tangier? He
is all right. I'll RNT a car and drive you
to Fez. You use my name when you get there.
Look up a man named ab Ilkrim. You'll know what
to do.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
And what about yas mean.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
A little bundle of trouble with just in here?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yes? Can she go with me?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
She'll have to wait.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You can a meet or later now years well, she
wouldn't understand you saw. Let me take care of her
and ill gralt and it seems to be my day
for girls. I'll take care of her too. Now you
hurry up and pack. We'll leave first thing in the morning.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I gotcha service.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
This is Helene grand In four to twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't want to make.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
A noise like a tourist.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
But one hour ago I called room service. I haven't
heard from them yet.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
What do I have to do to get Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Well, never mind, I finally made it just the second.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I said, just a second.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Well what you Oh No, no, you mustn't, You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Summer is just about hitting its peak, and we still
have the Labor Day weekend to look forward to and
plan for. That's fine for most of us, but we
should always keep in mind that these long weekend holidays
are often tragic times for some of us who start
out gaily to enjoy them. More than one three hundred
American families will lose one or more of their loved
(12:14):
ones in accidents on the highways. At all times, and
particularly on long holiday weekends. Drivers, though your life depends
on it, it does.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And now back to.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
The adventures of the falcon.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, let's as a blank opion and a bad place
if you want to live it up, but a horrible
spot if you've got to die. But then what place isn't?
But I don't imagine it made much difference to Helene
Grant and her condition. The first I knew of it
were some four hours later, when I remembered my promise
to Robert Forsche and Ustle Low at a comrade Grant's
hotel room to meet in. Nobody answered. I walked in,
(13:01):
and that was my first mistake. She was lying on
the floor under the big ceiling fan, and in the
dim light, the blades made like a windmill above her head.
The effect was almost hypnotic, and then the spell was broken.
Why forgive me, monsieur, I am afraid I started you. Yeah,
I guess you did amid me to introduce myself. I'm
(13:22):
Ari Boulanche at the Prefecture. Well, I can't say this
is exactly a pleasure, inspector, and I can understand that, monsieur, monsieur,
you're wearing Mike wearing Mike wearing. I don't think the
name would mean anything to you.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You are too modest.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Correct me if I am in air, But you are
with American intelligence. How did you know that we too
have our intelligence? See great? Thanks? You know who she was,
Memoiselle Grant. But of course she was a coming to
an agent. You were, as they say, on opposite side
of the Heck. No, no, wait a minute, inspector. If
(13:59):
you think I had anything to do with her murderer, monsieur,
it would never occurred to me. I'm a most unsuspicious type. Still,
as long as you mentioned it, what are you doing here?
I wanted to talk to him. I should have guessed
that for myself. And at the time of her day,
I was in my hotel room reading. It's very strange
you're ready with an alibi when you have no idea
(14:19):
when she was murdered. It's pretty obvious she's been at
about three hours, which had put it around nine o'clock.
How do you arrive at that conclusion the state of
riga morris. Oblige me, monsieur. In addition to your other talent,
you are also a doctor. I don't have to be inspector.
Look at her arms most interesting? I wonder if you
(14:40):
would be kind enough to accompany me to the place
de farce and in the meantime the killer gets away.
I don't think there is much.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Danger of that.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Look.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I tell you you're making a mistake and I should
have to pay for it, and no thanks, say where
you are, messieur? Another step and I should be compared
to shoot. I think you mean that assuredly. Do well
in that case, Sorry, Tella, but you let me no choice.
You mind if I borrow your gun? You will do?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I get this, monsieur?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Where I'm on?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I am sure we will meet again?
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Mike wearing Robert? Open up just a moment, come in,
try and keep me out. I'll lock it. But why
just humor me? You seekulled the car? H you were
to lie me to feze? Oh yeah, well the situation
has changed somewhat. Helene Grant has been murdered. No, yes,
do you mind if I borrow that drink? You don't
(15:50):
seem to be using it.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, how did it happen?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Around nine o'clock to night? Someone walked into a room
at the Bonaparte and shot her three times? Awful?
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Have the end the idea? Who was responsible?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Well, if you asked Boulange and Boulange he's out of
the local prefecture. He suspects me, But why Well, for
one thing, he found me standing over a body. For another,
he knows we worked different sides of the streets. I
see a good for you, then maybe you can explain
it to me. Where were you at nine tonight? Oh
surely you don't think why not? Your motive is every
(16:21):
bit as good as mine. Helene Grant was.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
A threat to you, but you promised to end that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You might not have had much confidence in me. Now
where were you at the JUGHINOI rougiin Wi.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
It is a cafe of the Pleasant Horse.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I thought I told you not to go out.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Then.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It is most fortunate ignored your instructions, although wise I
would not have an alibi.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I went there to say goodbye to Yasmin.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You were great to let me handle her. The situation
was much too delicate, but she felt sure I could
handle Helene.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Apparently it was quiet.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Thanks. So you're with Yasmin?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Or made too ten?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Long goodbye? You mind if I check that? Yes?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
I do?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You are not to disturb well, I wouldn't advise you
to try to stop me, Robert, if I dumped the
police inspector who tried it, figures a mere civilian wouldn't
stand a chance. I'll be seeing you, fella. Oh hello,
(17:20):
yes man. Yeah, nice dressing room you've got here. You
must sing well to rate it.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
What is the meaning of this?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I er hope you'll forgive the intrusion, but it's important
I talk to you.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I am sorry.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I'm very busy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Well, this won't take long. My name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Mike Wearing.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yes, I'm a friend of Robert Fosch.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Robert never introduced her.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Naturally, there was no need to.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I do not believe you.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, and how would I know? You two pitched the
Battle Royal and the hotel splendid over Helene Grant. Robert
tells me everything. Incidentally, you don't have to worry about
Helene anymore. And she's dead.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You don't seem very upset.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Why should I be?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
She was my enemy.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You don't realize what you're saying. But you knew this.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You say, Robert told you everything?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, he also said you came back to the hotel
again between eight and ten.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Robert said that.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's why. Isn't it true?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I knew it, you know, con Trompa, Sorry, Angel.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
But why should Robert say I was at his hotel
when he was visiting year with me in my dressing room.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
What I said something wrong?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Well, that depends on where you're standing in my spot.
It couldn't have been worse. Sure, Robert was here between
eight and ten. Oh, then he was telling the truth
and nothing. How did you find out about Halene Grant
in the first place, A man told me. This man
got a name.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes, he called himself Mulai half heeed.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh I half oh I half feed? Where did I
hear that? Sure? He was Helene's contact as a blanker.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I do not understand.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, that's just as well.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Now that's Mike quem sir, let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's okay, So do I maw come dad, ain't June.
That's just what I hope to do for my customer.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
She direct dandy all American kinds.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Messieur, you like to buy me? No? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Maybe some poor scolls? Very lovely, lady.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I'm sorry, I stocked up in Paris. Where can I
find a Coppa smith Mulai Huffin?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
You are sure you would not like to buy the
poor scars?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh? Well, come to think of it, I guess I would.
I forgot my grandmother collects them.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
No, she would like these, monsieur, and that will be
five hundred find.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Now where can I find Mulai Haffin?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
That is he shop over there by the side of
the iron Jugger.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
If your grandmother would like more postcar, keep you in mind, salam.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I like him, Salam, what can I do for you? Monsieur, Well,
it all depends. Are you Mulai haff in.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Your seventh Sir?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'm Mike wearing Mike wedding. I'm a comrade from America.
Oh where can we talk?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Here?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Little public, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I sell lower the shade.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's a nice place you got here. You do all
your own metal work, as my father and his father
did before him.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So now we may talk.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I guess you know why I'm here. The party is
off ay disappointed in your work, comrade, and I am
disappointed in the party. Why did you tell you, Asbend
Marin about Halene Grant? You know this, we know everything.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Then you are aware. I informed Ma'amiselle Grant of my
desire to leave the party.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It was getting to be an epidemic. First, Robert Forsche,
Now you what's your reason?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I explained that to Comrade Grant.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
She found unsatisfactory.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
It was her privilege.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So you killed her?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Monsieur is pleased to jest.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You knew she was murdered.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
All Casablanca is aware of this.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yes, I know, but I think you had inside information.
How would you like to take a little ride with me.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I do not think I would care for it.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm afraid I'll have to insist. Moulan.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
First, allow me to show you something. This copper flask
was fashioned by my father.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Or what's that got to do?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Me to finish?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
If you met a friend, you might offer him a
drink by removing the stopper so well, But if you
met an enemy, you again removed the stopper, only this
time you pressed this planza to reveal knife way, monsieur
in knife and I have met the hell weep.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You miss she permit me. I think a little brandy
would not arm you. Inspector, I told you we would
meet again.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You are in pain.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'll live. How did you know where to find me?
A friend of our department advised us. His name isn't
Mulai Haffin, it is indeed, would you like to tell
me what happened? As I'd like to very much. He
tried to kill me. It is understandable, nesper not to me.
You posed as a coming to an agent, so naturally
Mulai thought you would come to his shop to avenge
(22:47):
the murder of Memoiselle Grant, and that proves he killed her.
Why because he desired to protect himself from one he
considered an assessin. I'd tell you he murdered her inspector.
He wanted to leave the party, and she wouldn't let him.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
That He's true.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Horbert Fouche too well, I grant you that. But force
has an alibi, Sir has Mulai What nine o'clock last night?
He was stationed in the lobby of the hotel Splendid,
accompanied by one of my men. But that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
If Mulaia, Robert and the Yasman of alibis for the
time of Helene Grant's murder, who.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Does that leave you?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Monsieur, as I maintained, really loone, I am so glad
we are finally in a cord. Are you looking forward
to a vacation or to holiday weekends filled with carefree relaxation. Unfortunately,
(23:41):
a lot of us will never have those pleasant plans
come true. Yes, for thousands of those dreams will turn
into tragic nightmares because of a traffic accident. Highways are
more crowded than ever, and make no mistake about it,
that means greater danger. Whenever you drive. You can't prevent
all of the traffic accidents that are taking place off
over the country.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But you can prevent that one accident that may happen
to you. Follow the simple rules of driving safety all
the time.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
The life you save may be your own.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And now back to the adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I guess Mama was right, you always said. If I
didn't watch that big tongue of mine, some day I
trip over it. Who knew it was going to be
in the shop of Mulai Huffard. While I lay there
on the floor, Inspector bou Lange made like Florence Nightingale.
I figured there was no percentage in getting up, after all,
I was only due to four on my face and auela.
I think this would prove seteriosectary. Now, if you will
(24:46):
take my arm ansieur, I should be only too happy
to assist you. No wait a minute, Inspector, if you're
thinking of making another escape, I beg you not to
attempt it. I have three men stationed outside, all of
whom are fleet are foot and excellent. No, no, no, no,
you don't understand. You say you had one of your
detectors with Mulai Hofford in the lobby of the splendid
last night.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I did.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Why we were keeping Hubert fresh under surveillance. We anticipated
a little difficulty with a gentleman. Obviously, it never developed, obviously,
and Mula was never out of your man's sight, never once.
They were together till midnight, and I couldn't have been,
or could they? Padronema? Oh brother, am I a jump? Listen, inspector,
(25:26):
I think I see it all. Now, just give me
ten minutes with Robert Force, That's all I ask. It
is not unreasonable, after all, Why shouldn't you have firsh
for ten minutes when I expect to.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Have you for life?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Hello, well of Fa, Hello Jasmin.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Monsieur will Yeah, what happened to you?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Asked me? Better?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
What didn't?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We'd like to see Robert. You cannot, maybe I cannot,
but this gentleman can. He's inspected. Boulange had the prefecture.
Where's your boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I tell you he is not here?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Then you won't mind if we searched the place. You
are wasting your time. Let's try the bedroom, I dad, it.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Will avail you nothing.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
If here she's telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Hey god, he's close her car and afraid to not.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Have your ten minutes with him.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I'll settle for a couple with her. And all right,
where did he go? Yasmin?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
No, I do not know.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You're lying. You must have planned to meet him somewhere
you will never find out. Oh, I wouldn't bet on that, angel.
Why did you lie to me about meeting Robert in
your dressing room last night?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I did not lie.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
He was there, No, he wasn't. That Alibi was strictly
a phony.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Well, they had a couple of men downstairs. They would
have seen him go out. He did not kill that woman.
No one said he did. But you claim he's Alibi
was fabricating the one he volunteered was He said he
spent the evening with Yasmin. But if he was lying,
it follows she couldn't have been with him. Then over
with the Bonaparte killing the woman you thought was your rival.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You are insane.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
No, you're the one who's insane. And it was that
old green eyed monster that did the trick. I kill
you the king, Oh you don't.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
It how to work out like this, Angel, but it
will be the or me. I guess when you come
right down to when I'm no candleman, Well, it merely
goes to prove vein the poets knew what they were
talking about. What is that line again? Yes, hell, let
(27:39):
no fury like a woman scorned, Oh, like a woman
who thinks she's scorned. Actually, Helene wasn't the Asmin's rival.
Perhaps she was the man who embraces the Communist party
can afford no other love. You've got a point there,
so it was not completely wrong when I said this
was a political murder. Not completely Let me sure you're
(28:00):
wearing we have casa blanca forever in your debt if
there is any way we can ever repay. I'm glad
you mentioned that, Inspector, because there is. While I was
looking for Mulai Haffit, I ran into a peddler who
made me buy some postcard before give out with any information.
I see you think you could locate them for me.
You wish to have HEMI stood no, no. I promised
(28:20):
to mail these to Grandma, and it just occurred to
me I'd better get a set for Grandpa too. Goodnight, Inspector.
