Speaker 8 (06:08):
But don't you want me to help?

Now we get to work, Carl.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Are you sure you don't need me? It's nearly three o'clock.
How much longer you're going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Carl?
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Hello? Do I have the right apartment?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well, I don't know what apartment do you want?
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I'm looking for Michael Wearing. He's a detective sometimes called
the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You have the right apartment? Come in.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Are you the Falcon?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Who did you think I am?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I wasn't sure if friend, perhaps a secretary or something.
I mean, well, I I guess I expected someone well,
not quite so polished.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And the polish is on his skin deep, believe me,
and I need It's a perfect example of a private eye.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Nerves of steel, muscles of iron, and rocks in my head.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I suppose you tell me your name and we'll go
on from there.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Oh, yes, I'm missus Carl Eberhart.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And just why do you want a detective? Missus Eberhart?
Speaker 8 (08:26):
My husband has been murdered.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (08:30):
That comes easy, doesn't it? What I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Good day?
Speaker 8 (08:35):
Or how are you? Figure of speech? You didn't even know?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What do you want me to say?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I'm being difficult, aren't I?
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Oh, don't worry, it's I'm not going to break down.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm sor right. Go ahead if it'll make you feel
any better.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
No, I've been through all that. I want you to
find out who did this thing?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Why not leave it to the police.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
They seem to have an idea I did it. They
were quite unpleasant man.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
At least they didn't lock you up, not yet. Why
should they suspect you because.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
They don't know whom else to suspect. Carl had no enemies.
I told you he was a good man. Everyone who
knew him liked him, including you. Yes, but I'm considerably
younger than Carl. I think the police hoped to make
something of that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
They're looking for the other man in your life.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Yes, is the one you have the same sort of mind?
I see?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Well, if you mean one that considers all possibilities. Yes.
If I'm going to help you, I have to have
the facts.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
You have them. I've told you the truth.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
All right. Then there's no triangle.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And your husband had no enemies, that's right, And you
have no idea who might have killed him?
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Oh but I do right?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I thought you said you didn't.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Well, I don't know his name. But a man came
in the middle of the night. Karl said it was
a patient.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Did you see him?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
No?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
No, He took him in the office, left him more
than an all. When Carl didn't come back to bed,
I went.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
In the office. Patient was gone, Carl was dead.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Could it have been one of the regular patients.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I don't think so. Carl would have mentioned his name.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
A total stranger, no connection with your husband. Nobody saw him. Huh.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I guess I'm asking the impossible, aren't I it. Maybe
I'd be better forget the whole thing and let the
police think.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
What they want. I'll find the man for you.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
You really think you can?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Sure, Now, don't you worry. Everything is going to be
all right. I promise.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You're not worrying.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Even if I am on the police force. I'm homicide,
not traffic. So if you gotta take it, don't expect
me to fix it, all right, Corbett, you don't like
the way I drive? Get out?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Will?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Aren't you a little ray of sunshine today? I offered
to give you a lift a headquarters, yes, wearing so
you could pump me about the everhard case.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, a lot of good it did.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Me I told you all we know wearing, which adds
up to a big fat zero.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You haven't any more on a missing patient than I have.
If there is a missing patient, there is, Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know there is no no, no, no wearing. Just
because you stuck your neck out, don't expect.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Me to follow. Look, I said I'd find that character
for a.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Corbett, and I will more power to you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
After Oh, there are only ten million people in New York,
that's right, So why couldn't at least one of them
have seen this guy?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Still, assuming there is such a guy, Oh, why couldn't
you have left a clue? Why isn't there something one
easily lead to his identity? Why can't I keep my
big mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That wearing is the question.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Promising missus Eberhart, I'd find the guy. When there's not
a single thing to go.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
On, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just leave it to me.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Everything is going to be all right. You know something, Corbett,
I must be nuts wearing.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
For the first time in my life, I'm inclined to
agree with you. And now back to the adventures of
(12:26):
the Falcon. A few days have passed since Mike Wearing
promised to pick a man out of nowhere. Now Mike
has cooled off, gone to work on it, and he
seems a little more cheerful as he enters Sergeant Corbett's
office at headquarters. Hello, Corbett, you're worry You look a
little more human today.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You that's quite a feat. Well, I'm feeling better, Corbett.
What happened missus eberhartfire? You?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, and I don't think she will. I hate to
spoil your fun, Corbett, but I'm on the track.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Of the missing patients. You don't say, Oh, I do say.
I've been checking.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Two fellows were spottedt looting cargo on the waterfront the
night of the Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Heard about it. Suspected of being part of a smuggling ring.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So what so the two guys got away, but they
were shooting a coup with spot of them is sure
he hit one?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And you think Eberharts isn't far from the pier. And
if the.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Fella had a bullet in him, he need a doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And then he might want to shut the doctor up.
He could be But.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
If the guy's got away, you still don't know who
they are. You should keep in touch with the other
department's Corbett. Joey Decker was identified as one of the
men one who got hit, no, the other one. They
picked Decker up the next day. He denies any part
of it, denies he was ever at the pier, but
he has no alibi and they booked him.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's out on bail. So if we could crack Decker,
that's right, Corbett's. If we can make him name his partner,
I'm willing to bet we'll have our missing patience. What
are we waiting for? Who's waiting?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, wearing only this time I drive in a squad car.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Ope. Decker's in now. He wouldn't be if we announced ourselves.
So we can only take a chance. Yeah, well, now
sounds like trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Come on, tarback down, the decks apart, the ps coming
crop down.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
What's going on in there?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Come on worrying?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We better try to break this story in.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, they've stopped. Maybe
now the lancer come right.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
In there, open up?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh it plice, alright, alright, I'll make it a short minute.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But what was going on in there? Just a nice
friendly argument.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So if one of those friends doesn't open this door
pretty quick, I'm still gonna.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Kick it in I think somebody's coming. What do you want?
Catch him?
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Worrying?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I've got here. I'll drag him to this chair there, brother,
how cold? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Well, his face is pushed out of shape. He wasn't
playing solitaire, and which means that whoever did this is
probably still in the apartment.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I better have a look. Yeah, go to it wearing.
I'll see if I can bring this fellow around.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Right, hey, Corbett, Yeah, what is it? It's a back
door and it's open. Whoever we're looking for is probably left.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, it can't before. Maybe you can catch him right
him on my.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Way homicide serge in carbon Hello Corbett wearing wearing blazes?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Are you you've been gone fifteen minutes? I went down
the back way to the street.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
A fellow was just getting in a taxi, so I
followed patcha No. He went to the bus station on
thirty fourth and picked up a package from a baggage locker.
Then he went down to Penn station. He's eating out
of lunch stand in the station. I'm calling from a
booth where I can watch him.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Are you sure he's a guy we're after? Well? He
was it?
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Decker's his left arms in his sling seems.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
To add up.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
We'll stick with him. I've got an ambulance here for Decker.
They don't need me. So where do I find you?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Public phone? Where the operator is on duty? Long Island
side Penn station.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
If I'm not here, that means our friend finished his
meal and shoved off.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Don't worry, Wearing, I'll be there before his coffee cools.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hello, Wearing, is he's still here?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Hey, corbat, you made a dozen time he left the stand.
He said it for the subway.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Come on right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
There. He is pathry and hustand the tall guy in
a tan topcoat. Oh yeah, yeah, I see the sling.
What gets me, though, worrying is how he could do
the job on Decker with one alarm.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Out of commission.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I guess he can still hold a gun in his hand.
That way he could keep Decker from fighting back and
could slap.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Him around with his good arm.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Hey, going through the turnstile, Yeah, I thought he might
have throw out a good dimes. Ready, let's hurry it up.
We don't want him to hop a train and we
can't catch you. Right all right, I put the diamond
covert going through. Okay, over here, Wearing these are the stairs,
he chucked. Yeah, there's a train on the platform. Come

Hurry it up, ring the doors and closing. Come on,

A lot of promise.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I'm leaving us so long formed wearing. Now your's crane.
(18:33):
These openings in the tunnel wall make dandy foxhole. So
you and I can keep shooting it out until Corbett
comes back with help. You're not getting anywhere, and why
don't you give yourself up. Well, I guess that's my answers.
Amount of crane out of bullets. Now here's when we
get together them all right, crane stop something with that clip.
(18:56):
You should have known you couldn't get it in fast
enough with that bummer arm.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
If I can't get it and that gun, maybe it'll
do some good in your pay.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
No, you don't, you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Let go.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I don't know what you're trying to approve, but
you can't put up a fight with that arm. I
told you I wantn't to quit. Look over come against
a third rate of curtains for both the way you

Speaker 2 (19:40):
And I just managed to drag him out of the
way in time.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Corbett. Yeah, good that you did.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Wearing treasury boys hoped to pump him about the smuggling outfit,
and they couldn't very well if he was mangled.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And I don't know how far they'll get. He doesn't
seem to want to talk.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'll talk, and that package of rocks he had with him,
will do a lot of talking for him. A couple
of diamonds, and there there's the size of golf goes.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The main thing, as far as I'm concerned, is that
I've proved Missus Everhart's story about the midnight visitor. Oh yeah,
I'm calling an out a tell of the good news.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, hello, May I speak to Missus Eberhart? Please? What

do you like that? Seeing as how I'm not a
mind reader, I wouldn't know. How do I like what? Wearing?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That was a nurse? Missus Eberhart is unconscious? Huh yeah,
seems she was beaten up this afternoon too. And now
(20:56):
back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Half an hour
has passed since Mike Wearing learned that Missus Eberhart was
beaten unconscious. He's gone to see her, and now she
opens her swollen eyes.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Is that you, mister Wearing?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes, Missus Eberhart, I don't try to talk yet.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Oh I want to talk. I saw the man this time.
I can give a description.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Good. I hope it fits the man we caught.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Oh you've caught him.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Or we caught somebody. Now, if we can tie him
to you, the whole thing will fit together. Well.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
This man was tall or tan, top coaty, a long face,
long sharp nose, thin lips, and his left arm was
in a sling.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well, I guess that does it?
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Is it the same man?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes? What did he want with you? Well?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I'm not sure. It was so confusing, he said, I knew,
but I didn't. He held a gun in his left
hand and then hit me with his right hand.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Told me to talk, said I killed Carl.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You kill Carl, that's what he said. Did he mention
the diamonds?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Diamond what diamond? Oh? Oh, maybe that's what he meant. Stones.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
He said something about stones that could be diamonds, Yes, could,
But I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Carl didn't have any No.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
It's all right, missus, Eberhart. Don't try to talk anymore.
But that meant, don't you worry about him. We've got
him where we want him, and he had the diamonds
on him, so that angle is taken care of.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But the murder was not the matter.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
However, now that you can identify him, I think we
can take care of that too.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Right now, Crane, are you gonna talk, or aren't you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I hate to disappoint you, sergeant, but I can't think
of a thing to say.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Worrying, I'd like to give this character a dose of
his own medicine. He likes to rough up people. I
don't think it's necessary, but the diamonds on him definitely
tied to the smuggling. Mom that's right, and missus Eberhart's
identification will tie him to Ebhart.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And finally he's beating up Decker, who's.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
As if you don't know, Oh, you'd be surprised how
many things I don't know? Sergeant, you're too modest Crane, Rizzo, Yes,
send Decker in right inside, okay, while with me, Sergeant,
we have a friend of yours here.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Huh h. Yeah, I don't know him.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Huh you don't know Crane, I have a song before
in my life. You mean he's not the guy who
did that job on your face this afternoon, Solge, I
never saw him before.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Keep it up, sergeant, you're doing fine, and you might
have expected this. Corpet.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Decker's been denying any partner jewel smuggling. Naturally, he's going
to deny any tie up with Crane. Yeh Still, I
don't see why he's so worried about a smuggling charge
and we've got a murder rap to hang on him.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
What's that worry?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You heard me, Decker, and you're the one who killed
doctor Eberhart. I never even heard of a doc Everhart,
the doctor Crane went to after the shooting on the pier.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You must have followed them there.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I wasn't on the pier.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I didn't go to the doctors.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Crane must have passed out while the doctor was working
on him. The doctor was going to phone the police.
That's when you showed up. You killed him to keep
him from calling the police.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Oh, you're crazy. Crane had the rocks. Crane went to
the doctors. Why do you try to drag me in?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How do you know Crane had the rocks unless you
were with him on the pier? Well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right, So I was on the pier.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Crane got me into it, but he took the rocks
and him and me split up. I didn't even see
him again until this afternoon, when he tried to scare
me into.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Shutting up about him. That's why he beat up on me.
Right while the Decker's talking COVID, I think you can
wrap up the case. You'll bet I'm talking. Crane took
the rock, that's right, Decker, and he killed the don
Now that's wrong, Decker. I still nominate you for that,
so just keep talking and you'll prove it.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
Hello, oh hello, mister, whereing come in?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Thank you? Now? How do you feel today?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Better?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Thanks?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I hear you solved the case, and I understand the
man who attacked me wasn't the murderer.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's right. It wasn't Crane. It was his partner, Decker.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
But how did you know?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Well?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was sure the murderer had the diamonds since Crane
was looking for them.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
He obviously wasn't the murderer. I see he thought you
might have them, but you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Couldn't tell him anything, or he wouldn't have had to
try Decker.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That meant you weren't the murderer, and that leaves Decker.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Crane was able to go directly to the diamonds when
he left Decker, so Decker must have told him where
they were.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Mm hm, Well, I I don't know how to thank
you for clearing this up. Mister Waring.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You hired me to do a job.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
I did it, that's all, and risk your life doing it.
Don't minimize it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Would have been a bigger risk if I hadn't What
do you mean, If I hadn't cleared things up after
the promises I made Sergeant Corbett would have raised the
life out of me.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Good night, missus ever Hund
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yes, this is the Falcon speaking Oh Cora. Thanks for
the car, but I can't make.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It tonight, Angel, I'm working on a case.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Seems a fellow was disturbed in the middle of the
night and didn't get any sleep, so by the next
morning he was dead tired. The Adventures of the Falcon
dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting detectives who
like Mike Whirling, risk their lives to aid law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
So join him now when the.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Falcon solves the case of the missing patient. It's late
Sunday night. As two figures moved cautiously among the packing
boxes piled in a darkened pier on the New York waterfront.
The taller of the two figures carries a flashlight and
runs its beam over the faces of the boxes as
(00:54):
he moves slowly down the pier.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Should be somewhere right along here. Why don't we come
to with patience, fella, We will quen you think there's
a chance that maybe we made a mistake.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Mistake Warner Street Pier section the cargo from the Golden Star.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
There's no mistake unless they made one at the other end.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But then, and we ought to come to well news
for you, Decka, we have huh.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Feast your eyes on that fella, the beautiful little crayon cross,

Speaker 5 (01:27):
This is it?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Don't tell me, but let's get it open. Well, you
have the crowbar I remember? Oh yeah, Crane, I guess
I'm I'm kind of excited, and try to con control yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
We have work to do. Off hold the light okay,

two boards.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
What are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
They got the light on us.
Speaker 4 (02:32):

box from where they are right. I look, I'm gonna
try crawling over to that next row of boxes. If
nothing happens, you'll follow.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, you can see he got you in the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's all you're asking for it.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Are you gonna come out peaceful?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's move in. It looks like they got it. Now.
Let's stay lot. Make a run the other way for
the ship. Maybe I could, but you'll never make it.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
They wing you.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'll stay here. You go, but do what I say.
If you're lucky, you can make the ship. That'll draw
them off me. You still want the hard way? Buzz,
he's closer. I can get going. Well, it's time.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
If you make the ship, duck down behind the rail
and loose you run for the bar. There's a rope
where she's tied up. You can slide down it. You'll
wind up near the car. You ought to be able
to make the car before they realize what's happened.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
But how about you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Maybe I can get away while they're after you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'll keep the stone so if they do catch up
with you, you're clean. If they don't catch up, go
to my place. I'll be there as soon as I
see it.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Not a very suspicious man.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I have to be.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I gathered that.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You've already guessed how this happened to me.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I haven't given it much thought. It's my job to
cure people, not to judge them.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It also happens to be a job to report any shooting.
Formality A law require. I know what a law requires.
Dispense with the formality. That's why I'm not gonna be
put to sleep.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I wanna be.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Sure that als are My wife.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Her to stay out of here.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
She could tell me to stay out one minute, Elsa.
It's all right, Elsa's a patient.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I can take care of it.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
But don't you want me to help?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
No, no, no, no, go back? Too bad.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Well, I'll put on some coffee.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It'll be honest, all right, thank you, Elsa. Oh you
shouldn't be so alarmed off Elsa. She wouldn't harm anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I have to be careful. Yeah, is it worth it?
I wonder what's worth worry? Feel pain?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm not complaining. I come on, how about getting to work? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Now we get to work, Carl.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Are you sure you don't need me? It's nearly three o'clock.
How much longer you're going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Carl?
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Hello? Do I have the right apartment?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well, I don't know what apartment do you want?
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I'm looking for Michael Wearing. He's a detective sometimes called
the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You have the right apartment? Come in.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Are you the Falcon?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Who did you think I am?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I wasn't sure if friend, perhaps a secretary or something.
I mean, well, I I guess I expected someone well,
not quite so polished.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And the polish is on his skin deep, believe me,
and I need It's a perfect example of a private eye.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Nerves of steel, muscles of iron, and rocks in my head.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I suppose you tell me your name and we'll go
on from there.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Oh, yes, I'm missus Carl Eberhart.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And just why do you want a detective? Missus Eberhart?
Speaker 8 (08:26):
My husband has been murdered.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (08:30):
That comes easy, doesn't it? What I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Good day?
Speaker 8 (08:35):
Or how are you? Figure of speech? You didn't even know?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What do you want me to say?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I'm being difficult, aren't I?
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Oh, don't worry, it's I'm not going to break down.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm sor right. Go ahead if it'll make you feel
any better.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
No, I've been through all that. I want you to
find out who did this thing?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Why not leave it to the police.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
They seem to have an idea I did it. They
were quite unpleasant man.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
At least they didn't lock you up, not yet. Why
should they suspect you because.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
They don't know whom else to suspect. Carl had no enemies.
I told you he was a good man. Everyone who
knew him liked him, including you. Yes, but I'm considerably
younger than Carl. I think the police hoped to make
something of that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
They're looking for the other man in your life.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Yes, is the one you have the same sort of mind?
I see?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Well, if you mean one that considers all possibilities. Yes.
If I'm going to help you, I have to have
the facts.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
You have them. I've told you the truth.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
All right. Then there's no triangle.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And your husband had no enemies, that's right, And you
have no idea who might have killed him?
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Oh but I do right?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I thought you said you didn't.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Well, I don't know his name. But a man came
in the middle of the night. Karl said it was
a patient.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Did you see him?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
No?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
No, He took him in the office, left him more
than an all. When Carl didn't come back to bed,
I went.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
In the office. Patient was gone, Carl was dead.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Could it have been one of the regular patients.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I don't think so. Carl would have mentioned his name.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
A total stranger, no connection with your husband. Nobody saw him. Huh.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I guess I'm asking the impossible, aren't I it. Maybe
I'd be better forget the whole thing and let the
police think.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
What they want. I'll find the man for you.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
You really think you can?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Sure, Now, don't you worry. Everything is going to be
all right. I promise.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You're not worrying.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Even if I am on the police force. I'm homicide,
not traffic. So if you gotta take it, don't expect
me to fix it, all right, Corbett, you don't like
the way I drive? Get out?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Will?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Aren't you a little ray of sunshine today? I offered
to give you a lift a headquarters, yes, wearing so
you could pump me about the everhard case.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, a lot of good it did.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Me I told you all we know wearing, which adds
up to a big fat zero.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You haven't any more on a missing patient than I have.
If there is a missing patient, there is, Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know there is no no, no, no wearing. Just
because you stuck your neck out, don't expect.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Me to follow. Look, I said I'd find that character
for a.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Corbett, and I will more power to you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
After Oh, there are only ten million people in New York,
that's right, So why couldn't at least one of them
have seen this guy?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Still, assuming there is such a guy, Oh, why couldn't
you have left a clue? Why isn't there something one
easily lead to his identity? Why can't I keep my
big mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That wearing is the question.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Promising missus Eberhart, I'd find the guy. When there's not
a single thing to go.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
On, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just leave it to me.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Everything is going to be all right. You know something, Corbett,
I must be nuts wearing.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
For the first time in my life, I'm inclined to
agree with you. And now back to the adventures of
(12:26):
the Falcon. A few days have passed since Mike Wearing
promised to pick a man out of nowhere. Now Mike
has cooled off, gone to work on it, and he
seems a little more cheerful as he enters Sergeant Corbett's
office at headquarters. Hello, Corbett, you're worry You look a
little more human today.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You that's quite a feat. Well, I'm feeling better, Corbett.
What happened missus eberhartfire? You?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, and I don't think she will. I hate to
spoil your fun, Corbett, but I'm on the track.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Of the missing patients. You don't say, Oh, I do say.
I've been checking.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Two fellows were spottedt looting cargo on the waterfront the
night of the Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Heard about it. Suspected of being part of a smuggling ring.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So what so the two guys got away, but they
were shooting a coup with spot of them is sure
he hit one?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And you think Eberharts isn't far from the pier. And
if the.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Fella had a bullet in him, he need a doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And then he might want to shut the doctor up.
He could be But.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
If the guy's got away, you still don't know who
they are. You should keep in touch with the other
department's Corbett. Joey Decker was identified as one of the
men one who got hit, no, the other one. They
picked Decker up the next day. He denies any part
of it, denies he was ever at the pier, but
he has no alibi and they booked him.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's out on bail. So if we could crack Decker,
that's right, Corbett's. If we can make him name his partner,
I'm willing to bet we'll have our missing patience. What
are we waiting for? Who's waiting?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, wearing only this time I drive in a squad car.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Ope. Decker's in now. He wouldn't be if we announced ourselves.
So we can only take a chance. Yeah, well, now
sounds like trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Come on, tarback down, the decks apart, the ps coming
crop down.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
What's going on in there?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Come on worrying?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We better try to break this story in.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, they've stopped. Maybe
now the lancer come right.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
In there, open up?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh it plice, alright, alright, I'll make it a short minute.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But what was going on in there? Just a nice
friendly argument.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So if one of those friends doesn't open this door
pretty quick, I'm still gonna.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Kick it in I think somebody's coming. What do you want?
Catch him?
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Worrying?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I've got here. I'll drag him to this chair there, brother,
how cold? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Well, his face is pushed out of shape. He wasn't
playing solitaire, and which means that whoever did this is
probably still in the apartment.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I better have a look. Yeah, go to it wearing.
I'll see if I can bring this fellow around.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Right, hey, Corbett, Yeah, what is it? It's a back
door and it's open. Whoever we're looking for is probably left.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, it can't before. Maybe you can catch him right
him on my.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Way homicide serge in carbon Hello Corbett wearing wearing blazes?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Are you you've been gone fifteen minutes? I went down
the back way to the street.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
A fellow was just getting in a taxi, so I
followed patcha No. He went to the bus station on
thirty fourth and picked up a package from a baggage locker.
Then he went down to Penn station. He's eating out
of lunch stand in the station. I'm calling from a
booth where I can watch him.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Are you sure he's a guy we're after? Well? He
was it?
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Decker's his left arms in his sling seems.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
To add up.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
We'll stick with him. I've got an ambulance here for Decker.
They don't need me. So where do I find you?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Public phone? Where the operator is on duty? Long Island
side Penn station.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
If I'm not here, that means our friend finished his
meal and shoved off.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Don't worry, Wearing, I'll be there before his coffee cools.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hello, Wearing, is he's still here?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Hey, corbat, you made a dozen time he left the stand.
He said it for the subway.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Come on right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
There. He is pathry and hustand the tall guy in
a tan topcoat. Oh yeah, yeah, I see the sling.
What gets me, though, worrying is how he could do
the job on Decker with one alarm.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Out of commission.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I guess he can still hold a gun in his hand.
That way he could keep Decker from fighting back and
could slap.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Him around with his good arm.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Hey, going through the turnstile, Yeah, I thought he might
have throw out a good dimes. Ready, let's hurry it up.
We don't want him to hop a train and we
can't catch you. Right all right, I put the diamond
covert going through. Okay, over here, Wearing these are the stairs,
he chucked. Yeah, there's a train on the platform. Come
on quick, you see him Cobert, Yes, she's getting in
(17:24):
the last car.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hurry it up, ring the doors and closing. Come on,
all right, whorrying, I got the door, Come.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
On, get any quick. And I was close.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oo Hey, now I see his face. I know that guy.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Eh he's earn he crane. I questioned him on another
k Oh, he sees me and he knows me. Look
he's pushing towards the back I saw out. The doors
are closed. You can't get out and get out the
back door to the tracks.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, he's opening it.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Come on, excuse me, I mean to throw hair. Please
say tip me, please Grnity humped at the train stole
keep calling me if I picked up too much, baby,
sorry lady.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
I let him.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Puts me here.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Here we are wearing. We're going pretty fast, will I maybe.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
A lot of promise.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I'm leaving us so long formed wearing. Now your's crane.
(18:33):
These openings in the tunnel wall make dandy foxhole. So
you and I can keep shooting it out until Corbett
comes back with help. You're not getting anywhere, and why
don't you give yourself up. Well, I guess that's my answers.
Amount of crane out of bullets. Now here's when we
get together them all right, crane stop something with that clip.
(18:56):
You should have known you couldn't get it in fast
enough with that bummer arm.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
If I can't get it and that gun, maybe it'll
do some good in your pay.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
No, you don't, you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Let go.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I don't know what you're trying to approve, but
you can't put up a fight with that arm. I
told you I wantn't to quit. Look over come against
a third rate of curtains for both the way you
want it here, it is.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm not get up.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Hurry up.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
There's a train coming.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I can here.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'll help you and I'll hurry. Sorry, but if we
don't move.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Fast, come on train.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And I just managed to drag him out of the
way in time.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Corbett. Yeah, good that you did.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Wearing treasury boys hoped to pump him about the smuggling outfit,
and they couldn't very well if he was mangled.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And I don't know how far they'll get. He doesn't
seem to want to talk.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'll talk, and that package of rocks he had with him,
will do a lot of talking for him. A couple
of diamonds, and there there's the size of golf goes.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The main thing, as far as I'm concerned, is that
I've proved Missus Everhart's story about the midnight visitor. Oh yeah,
I'm calling an out a tell of the good news.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, hello, May I speak to Missus Eberhart? Please? What
when I see? All right? Thanks? No, goodbye? Well how
do you like that? Seeing as how I'm not a
mind reader, I wouldn't know. How do I like what? Wearing?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That was a nurse? Missus Eberhart is unconscious? Huh yeah,
seems she was beaten up this afternoon too. And now
(20:56):
back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Half an hour
has passed since Mike Wearing learned that Missus Eberhart was
beaten unconscious. He's gone to see her, and now she
opens her swollen eyes.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Is that you, mister Wearing?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes, Missus Eberhart, I don't try to talk yet.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Oh I want to talk. I saw the man this time.
I can give a description.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Good. I hope it fits the man we caught.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Oh you've caught him.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Or we caught somebody. Now, if we can tie him
to you, the whole thing will fit together. Well.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
This man was tall or tan, top coaty, a long face,
long sharp nose, thin lips, and his left arm was
in a sling.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well, I guess that does it?
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Is it the same man?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes? What did he want with you? Well?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I'm not sure. It was so confusing, he said, I knew,
but I didn't. He held a gun in his left
hand and then hit me with his right hand.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Told me to talk, said I killed Carl.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You kill Carl, that's what he said. Did he mention
the diamonds?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Diamond what diamond? Oh? Oh, maybe that's what he meant. Stones.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
He said something about stones that could be diamonds, Yes, could,
But I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Carl didn't have any No.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
It's all right, missus, Eberhart. Don't try to talk anymore.
But that meant, don't you worry about him. We've got
him where we want him, and he had the diamonds
on him, so that angle is taken care of.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But the murder was not the matter.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
However, now that you can identify him, I think we
can take care of that too.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Right now, Crane, are you gonna talk, or aren't you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I hate to disappoint you, sergeant, but I can't think
of a thing to say.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Worrying, I'd like to give this character a dose of
his own medicine. He likes to rough up people. I
don't think it's necessary, but the diamonds on him definitely
tied to the smuggling. Mom that's right, and missus Eberhart's
identification will tie him to Ebhart.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And finally he's beating up Decker, who's.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
As if you don't know, Oh, you'd be surprised how
many things I don't know? Sergeant, you're too modest Crane, Rizzo, Yes,
send Decker in right inside, okay, while with me, Sergeant,
we have a friend of yours here.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Huh h. Yeah, I don't know him.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Huh you don't know Crane, I have a song before
in my life. You mean he's not the guy who
did that job on your face this afternoon, Solge, I
never saw him before.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Keep it up, sergeant, you're doing fine, and you might
have expected this. Corpet.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Decker's been denying any partner jewel smuggling. Naturally, he's going
to deny any tie up with Crane. Yeh Still, I
don't see why he's so worried about a smuggling charge
and we've got a murder rap to hang on him.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
What's that worry?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You heard me, Decker, and you're the one who killed
doctor Eberhart. I never even heard of a doc Everhart,
the doctor Crane went to after the shooting on the pier.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You must have followed them there.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I wasn't on the pier.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I didn't go to the doctors.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Crane must have passed out while the doctor was working
on him. The doctor was going to phone the police.
That's when you showed up. You killed him to keep
him from calling the police.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Oh, you're crazy. Crane had the rocks. Crane went to
the doctors. Why do you try to drag me in?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How do you know Crane had the rocks unless you
were with him on the pier? Well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right, So I was on the pier.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Crane got me into it, but he took the rocks
and him and me split up. I didn't even see
him again until this afternoon, when he tried to scare
me into.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Shutting up about him. That's why he beat up on me.
Right while the Decker's talking COVID, I think you can
wrap up the case. You'll bet I'm talking. Crane took
the rock, that's right, Decker, and he killed the don
Now that's wrong, Decker. I still nominate you for that,
so just keep talking and you'll prove it.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
Hello, oh hello, mister, whereing come in?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Thank you? Now? How do you feel today?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Better?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Thanks?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I hear you solved the case, and I understand the
man who attacked me wasn't the murderer.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's right. It wasn't Crane. It was his partner, Decker.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
But how did you know?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Well?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was sure the murderer had the diamonds since Crane
was looking for them.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
He obviously wasn't the murderer. I see he thought you
might have them, but you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Couldn't tell him anything, or he wouldn't have had to
try Decker.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That meant you weren't the murderer, and that leaves Decker.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Crane was able to go directly to the diamonds when
he left Decker, so Decker must have told him where
they were.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Mm hm, Well, I I don't know how to thank
you for clearing this up. Mister Waring.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You hired me to do a job.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
I did it, that's all, and risk your life doing it.
Don't minimize it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Would have been a bigger risk if I hadn't What
do you mean, If I hadn't cleared things up after
the promises I made Sergeant Corbett would have raised the
life out of me.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Good night, missus ever Hund
