I had to see you, Lily. I had gone out
of my mind since last night.

You behavior you dad boy.
Speaker 7 (01:54):

Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I ran into some character on your Who was he?
Speaker 7 (02:01):
How should I know?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
It must have been up here, tall thin boy, blonde hair.

No.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, she's a very lovely woman, Jimmy, A little sin perhaps,
but the most charming Lily.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You didn't say anything to her, of course.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Not, libster. Would I do anything to hurt you? I
just know now what I have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Well, naturally I can't continue seeing you, which wouldn't be fair.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Clearly I won't give you up.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
That it's very simple, divorce your wife.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
No, no, no, I can't do that to Grace.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
But you have no objections doing it to me.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lily.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You don't understand. Grace is a wonderful girl.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
And I'm a mercenary female without the corn.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yes, yet you love.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I'm crazy about you, Lily.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I can't give you up and you won't give up
your wife.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
You do have a problem, darging. We're right. I give
you till the end of the week to solve it,
all right, Jimmy, what is it?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
What's what? Grace?
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Well, there's something bothering you. Do you want to tell
me about it?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's nothing to tell.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
If there's anyway that I.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Can tell you, it's nothing now, for Pete's sake, let
me alone, of course. But I'm sorry, Grace. I don't
know what's come over from me.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Oh, you've been working too hard? What you needed?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
How dear, I'll get it.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
That's the second good?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No good, nobin is here are your dodging? Yes? I
wonder if I might have a word with him with it? Grace? Well,
it's someone to see you, jim mister Keller fitz Keller.
You probably don't remember me measure? Why no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
We met for a few short minutes this afternoon on
the landing at forty one Wolton Strata. Oh, comes back
to you now?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, what do you want? And I would prefer to
discuss this privately.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
A grace to your mind.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Oh cood not, Jimmy, I.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Run over and talk to Twyla. It's the ninth media,
mister Keller. The pleasure was all mine. I'll be back
about twenty minutes. Yes, that'll be fine, lovely woman. You
know why how I kill her?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But you might at least invite me to sit down.
I don't think you'll be staying long. I trust you
will appreciate my position. Major Dodge, Sweet Chairman's are poor people.
Circumstances often compel us to do things we cannot help.
In my case, I have a rare opportunity to go
into business with one of my compatriots. Unfortunately we lack capital, so.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So I would be obliged if you would loan me
forty five thousand marks. That's ten thousand American dollars.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It isn't as though I had no security to offer
in exchange I am.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Prepared to turn over this.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Where did you get these pictures?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Desert Lily? Photographed beautifully? But personally?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
If you think I'm gonna let you blackmail the age
in ugly world, but.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I asked for the loan.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Of course, there is the chance you will never be repaid.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So you come on, get up. No one, no one
I ever regretted. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Had your second call on me, I might even call
on you myself.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Good norm and makes a dodge. I'm sure we shall
meet that game.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Hello, statue, Lily, I've got to see you. Suppose we
meditated that crutch?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Have you told your wife about us?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
No? No, something's come up, Lily. Do you know of
Fritz Keller?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Heller?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, no, Keller with a K.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
He knows about us? He's even got a set of pictures.
He wants forty five thousand marks for them. Yes, he
was the same boy I met on your landing the
other day.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Do you think I cooperated with him?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
You intimate it this Wait a minute, let me practically accube.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I didn't mean it. I swear.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
What do you recommend Yes, did Keller do his work?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
I am not ashamed of our love.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No, no, Lily, I don't want Grace to find out
about us this way.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Then you have no choice but to pay him where
when you raise the money.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Well, I'll manage somehow. You do love me, don't you, Lily?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
You silly boy, of course I do.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
What can I see you tonight?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I'll tell Grace I.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Don't think you better, Jimmie.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I want you to be able to give her.
Speaker 5 (06:57):

I'm Alan Bruce. You just get into Berlin now. I've
been here for a week doing groundwork.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
You don't think that we've got a couple of spies
on the payroll.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
There might be.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
From the looks of your accounts. The Pentagon cake with
me are ten thousand dollars short? Oh they're crazy your husband?
Double check Bruce, someone around here, sticky fingers. How long
have you been known Major Dodge? Don't tell me you think
that Jimmy is a possibility.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh well, you're out of your mind. You might just
as well suspect me. I do, well, that makes a
lot more sense. Jimmy's as honest as they come.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Now. I'm sure you know where I can reach you.
Why No, he and Grace just moved. What's his phone number?
I don't think they've got a phone. That's right. He
told me was having trouble getting it transferred.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well when he gets in and asked me to call me.
I'm staying at the Henton gird I'll do that, I'm
saying of Bruce.

to find the guilty cuitters.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You don't think I ah, of course not. What do

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well he's wearing man now.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
No, no, I left him minute at all. He wants
you to get in touch with him at the Hindenburg.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You better do it real fast.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
What's my hurry? Relax and Bruce, I'll get to wearing
and do time. Oh thanks for the tip anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Lady business, I beg your pardon not to remember me. No,
I'm saying that Fritz killer. I want to see a
husband that we could go. Oh, of course, how are you?
I wonder what your care to turn me in a
glass of wine?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, I'm sorry, I'm late for an appointment. Now I
think this might be to your advantage. Grace forgive me informality,
but I do hope we can be friends. Perhaps you
will accept this portfolio. Yeah, I'm not talking about Esteve,
but what is it? There is snapshots of Berlin. For example,
(10:14):
here is one of our zools. Oh isn't that Jimmy
in the pegram or?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I believe it is.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I'm sure you must know the woman. Yes, I
just happen to notice she's an old These picture your
husband's sister, perhaps, yes, very lovely, and she looks at
him so duringly. Obviously they are very fond of each other.
But I hope you will keep these. It's a little
(10:44):
so many out of your staying billy.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You're very kind. Now if you'll forgive me, hell alam,
I'll have work that comes have my old dodge. That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I trust you will forgive this improsion. My name is
adult Fimeler, Adolphimeler. Yes, I'm sure it means nothing to you,
but we do have a mutual friend. Who would you
care to venture?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Again?
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Look, I happen to be busy, so if you don't mind.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The typical American spirit niche you must make every moment count.
But then who can blame you?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
We are on for such a short time. A quia
a philosopher? Yes, in my work, one must be all right, what.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Are you getting us?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Perhaps this will clear up matters?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And I put it with a gun. Well, you show
an interest in my profession. Why are you doing this
for money? I know I should be ashamed of myself,
but when one is for this money.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You want to get away from that death. I just
want to show you, I said get away. That's the
trouble with your Americans.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You are so used to giving orders, you never learned
to take them.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
This will teach you. Can you stop in time? Ask
yourself that question the next time you drive your car.
If the car in front of you should jam on
(12:23):
his brakes to avoid a stray dog, if a child
should dash across an intersection, if a tire should blow out,
could you stop in time to save a life? Slippery roads,
fogged windshields, poor visibility. All of these factors mean that
you must be more alert in following simple safety rules
at all times. Remember, accidents don't always happen to the
(12:47):
other fellow. And now back to the adventures of the Falcon. Now,
I guess you don't approve of a little thirty eight
can make some men a big shot and three eight
(13:07):
off by La Pumpos plugged in the Nature James Dodge.
I did a two of the West Berlin Police headquarters.
Her General Inspector Schiller, who was in charge, was quite
proud of their facilities. Sells are complete in every detail.
This one even came equipped with the brunette Proud Dodge. Yeah, yeah,
I have a visitor Elements dodge. Who are you, Mike wearing?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You called me when you're through? Yeah? Thanks a lot
to inspect the General.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Instiagrette, Oh yeah, did the mbity tanger?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, I'm here on my own. I'm working from the intelligence.
I wonder if you'd mind answering a few questions.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
If it's about my husband's manners, I can only tell
you what I told the others.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
They think you killed him.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
That's ridiculous, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And Adolf Bimeler know he's the boy who pulled the
trigger in.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Does he claim I hired him for the occasion?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So far they haven't been able to ask him.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
He escaped the Russian zone and the comrade show a
strange reluctance to turn him over.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And well, when they do, we.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Will find that I didn't tire him. Where's my motive?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, you know your husband was playing around with some fraeulein.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
That is a lie.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And how do you explain those snapshots of Jimmy and
the blonde venus they found in your purse.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
They didn't mean a thing. She was an old friend
of the family.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What's her name, Gretchen, Gretchen Schumann. Where can I find him?
Speaker 8 (14:35):
You can't.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
She moved to East Germany a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I look, Missus Dodd, Hauld like to help you, but
I've got to know the truth. Who is this girl?
I told you her name is Gretchen Schumann. That's what
you told me.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
You don't believe me?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Nope, I'm sorry. It's so mine because I'm going to
find him. And if you won't help me, maybe I
know the party who will.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Say sill her what not.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
I wish I could give you a lead worring, but honestly,
I don't see how I can.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I never know unless you try it. Bruce, Do you
think Missus Dodd killed her husband?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Why should she? He was cheating. I don't believe it.
Why not? You were covering from him? Who said?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
So?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I do? When I saw you at the office, who
told me the major moved and he didn't have a
phone in this new place? You were lying? Now, look,
weren't you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I called him right after you left. Why he was
my friend, even though he had his hand and Uncle
Sam's pockets. He'll never get me to believe that. Do
you believe he was involved with some female?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes? How did you find out? I ran into them
together a couple of months ago? Is this the girl? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
That's Lily, all right, Lily, Lily Tissen hot a dodge meter.
Know what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Maybe I'd like to make her acquaintance the same way.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
There's a little nightclub on Komstress. It's called the Creutz Killing. Oh,
that's the King of clubs. Yes, she works there. I'm
doing what I don't know exactly good. Then I'll have
a chance to find out for myself.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That ought to be fun.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Yeah, Lindsay Horburn, Yeah, smirt off Martini, Real Drive, five
parts vodka.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
One of the moods make.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
It too poor unless the gentleman.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Of Jake, Well, if I do, I'm no gentleman.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Go ahead, for I suppose I should introduce myself.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
My name is Leedi Tisson.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Glad to know you're Lily. I'm Mike Wearing. Probably think
I'm very poor. Hell wouldn't have it any other way.
Hate retiring women.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
You intend to stay long in Belin.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Well, up to a minute ago, I was ready to leave,
But now I'm beginning to like it.

Tell me about her.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Ell see the greatest little girl in the world, real

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Why don't we go over to my place? Why I

I think she might like you?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well, gee, would would we have you alone?
Speaker 7 (18:11):

six children.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It sounds most interesting.
Speaker 5 (19:39):

concentration camps and gass chambers at book.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
And wall and dark Howe, I remember that for quite
a while. You must understand, we Germans do nothing about
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I'm sure all you people thought they were rest homes
for the agent.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I refused to be involved in the political discussion. I
have more important business. Perhaps you would care to see
a portfolio of my work? Yeah? Sure, love to. Ah hmm,

five thousand marks. When do I get a discount if
I buying gross lots?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
If you think I've joked on her, I think you're
quite serious. You would not care to have your wife
receive a set with my compliments? My wife, I believe
her name is Elsie. Oh, Elsie say, Fritz is a photographer.
Maybe you'd like to see a picture. And I think
there was one of this magazine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Here and she does a lot of modeling. Yeah, here
we are. Now, what do you think of Elsie? But
this is a cow that's no way this big of
the woman I love. But you totally she didn't take
me serious. I guess I should be ashamed of myself.
I would not advise you to try that again. You
(21:58):
never should have said that, Fritz. I'm a kind of
a kid. You can't resistant me. You pull the same
list done on Major Dog. Now and I say you did.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't bother getting up, ris to stay right there.
If I get dressed, I'll call you as soon as
I'm ready.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
I must admit that you build a very substantial case
against the man heir wedding.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But you don't believe he was responsible for Major Dodger's
murder Franklin, No, thank you, handspector girl shut up. He
practically admitted to me. I did nothing of the cat.
Why you dirty their wedding? Please?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I'm sorry, Schuller, but what does it take to convince
you people anyway? What it requires in New country evidence?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
But you know he and Lily Taysen were working this
blackmail racket on major Dodge. Can you prove it? Yes?
Through his wife. You gave her a duplicate set of
those pictures. Ah, then she knew that her husband was unproved. Yes,
she knew, all right, but she didn't have him killed.
Fritz head dead? Why should I Well, maybe he wouldn't
pay off, but he did.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
If you, gentlemen, will examine my bank book, you will
find a deposit entry of forty five thousand marks on.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
The seventh of July, but a Dodge page you've been
There was no reason for me to having kids. And
why did you give those pictures to his wife? I
thought she might be interested. Apparently she was.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
If I could be of any further service to her
during her trial, please Field Feet to call on me.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Couldn't have my head.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You and your children can expect to live long. Thanks
largely to better medicine and surgery. But you could expect
to live even longer were it not for the danger
of automobile accidents. In the fifteen to twenty five age
group alone, traffic accidents wiped out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Three hundred thousand years of life last year.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
If driver education could be taught in all of our
high schools instead of only a third of them, it
might someday help to save the life of your own.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Son or daughter In your own automobile. Remember to drive
as though your life depends on it.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It does.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Well,
now I know how Headler must have felt when they
dropped the Blockbuster on the right chancellery.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
He must have been real upset.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And after Fritz Keller bought himself out of Chiller's office there,
Inspector General and I looked at each other.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't know what he saw, but I was disappointed,
and I thought of great Dodge. That didn't share me
up either. Mister Hell is done.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You don't look too happy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Zn't my fault?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, I had a nomination for the party responsible for
your husband's murder, but the convention turned me down.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Who was it Fritz Keller.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Wait, I don't know the gentleman.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, he knows you. He gave you that set of
pictures of Jimmy and Lily Tiesen.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Is that what he claimed?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's what he claims lying. We can't prove it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Frout Dodge, go right ahead, I love, Angel. If you
think by denying everything you can escape the rope, you're wrong. Friends,
was blackmailing your husband?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
If he was, I had no knowledge of it.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
I hate to contradict, lady, but you did. On the
fifth of July. You were called by Maya All.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Breast and Company to the brokerage firm. Here they deal
in American security fraud.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Dodge and her husband, joint Clear, held several shares of
stock to sell them.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Both.
Speaker 10 (25:29):
Their signatures were required. Well Outbreads thought your signature was forged.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
He called you to.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Verify it, and I told him it was genuine.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Then obviously you knew your husband was.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Being blackmail I think I see it now. It was
a parent to me long ago. I tell you, I'm
making a mistake. With a little luck, I can prove it.
Keep the thing its crossed, Angel, I'm gonna need all
the help we can get. I don't get it. Worrying,
(26:03):
But if you feel I can help Grace, I'll do
everything I can. Well, that's what it's going to take, Bruce,
everything I want you to help me. Bet a trap?
A trap? Yeah you believe Grace had her husband killed?
Of course not. And that makes two of us. What
do you think was the killer's motives? Money? That's when
I think too. The ten thousand dollars that Fritz Keller.
Now the ten thousand was lifted from the office. But
(26:25):
you said killer wound up with that. Now I wasn't
the same money Jimmy rays his by selling some personal
stocks that he and his wife owned. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I can see there were two sums of ten thousand
dollars involved, the one dog paid off the Keller and
the one you lifted from the office.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
What you had Dodge killed the color of theft. Do
you realize what you're saying? Of course, why do you
think I invited you to drive me down at police headquarters?
Now just keep going, Bruce, you're on the right road.
It took a wrong when when you turn the murder.
Now you're doing fine. I need pless you ide on Marshnell.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You you like it here, Hey, Eddie, Yeah, but it
doesn't seem the same with that. Lily sure would like
to have another couple of pictures taken with her.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And well just be cut. My friends in America, and
I have no idea what was on here. You are
leaving for the United States.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Shortly tomorrow morning, and that's too far off. I leave
tonight if there was a plane on sure.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
We're gonna be here around. And there's a cablegram for
you are responded time your hotel. No, you open and chill.
You are not sure? You I know what it says.
You're gonna leave me stuck here in Europe forever. No,
you are wrong, but you are to leave the continentcy immediately.
I don't believe that. Let's see that. See they are
(27:50):
sending you to not if no? Good night here, Inspector General.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
The Case of the Broken Key. The Case of the
Broken Key, that's the title of next week's Adventure of
the Falcon, when Mike Wherring learns that although love may
laugh at Locksmith, murder is no joke. The Adventures of
(28:34):
the Falcon are based on the famous character created by
Brexel Drake, produced and transcribed by Bernard el Schubert, written
by Eugene Wang and directed by Richard Lewis. Less Damon
was started as The Falcon with Lily Valente as Lily.
This program came from New York, Fred Collins speaking
Alone. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Martha, I'm
glad you called.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
They left to include me out tonight. Angel I'm on
my way to Berlin. That's right, Berlin seems Army Intelligence
needs a trouble tutor in Germany. I know I don't
like it either. That's the sort of assignment.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That kills me once again.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed Adventures of
the Falcon, starring Less Damon.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Those hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their
lives to eight law enforcement agencies. So join him now
when the Falcon solves the case of the King of Clubs.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know how you feel about advertisements. Personally, I
love them, especially the one that goes never underestimates the
power of a woman. Leavey.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Shakespeare never poured more truth into fewer words. Let's go
through the pages of history. Eve, Delilah, Cleopatra, Lily Tieson
And if you've never met Lily, this is your chance.
She's a luscious looking female making with the lipstick in
her apartment, Off the tear Guart and Berlin, our armed
forces May occupy West Germany.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It works both ways. Lily keeps our arm forcefully occupied.
Who is Itsney?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Lily? Open up?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Just a moment, Jimmy, darling, but a wonderful surprise. I
thought you'd be busy at the office.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
I had to see you, Lily. I had gone out
of my mind since last night.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
You're sweet.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Every time I think of you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You behavior you dad boy.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Look what you've done to my hair?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I ran into some character on your Who was he?
Speaker 7 (02:01):
How should I know?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
It must have been up here, tall thin boy, blonde hair.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
You don't trust me?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You're done right. You're not kidding me, Lily. I know
all about you.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
And I know all about you major Dodge. Why didn't
you tell me you were married?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
What makes you think I am?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I met your wife yesterday under day in London.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, she's a very lovely woman, Jimmy, A little sin perhaps,
but the most charming Lily.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You didn't say anything to her, of course.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Not, libster. Would I do anything to hurt you? I
just know now what I have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Well, naturally I can't continue seeing you, which wouldn't be fair.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Clearly I won't give you up.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
That it's very simple, divorce your wife.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
No, no, no, I can't do that to Grace.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
But you have no objections doing it to me.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lily.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You don't understand. Grace is a wonderful girl.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
And I'm a mercenary female without the corn.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yes, yet you love.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I'm crazy about you, Lily.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I can't give you up and you won't give up
your wife.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
You do have a problem, darging. We're right. I give
you till the end of the week to solve it,
all right, Jimmy, what is it?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
What's what? Grace?
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Well, there's something bothering you. Do you want to tell
me about it?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's nothing to tell.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
If there's anyway that I.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Can tell you, it's nothing now, for Pete's sake, let
me alone, of course. But I'm sorry, Grace. I don't
know what's come over from me.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Oh, you've been working too hard? What you needed?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
How dear, I'll get it.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
That's the second good?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No good, nobin is here are your dodging? Yes? I
wonder if I might have a word with him with it? Grace? Well,
it's someone to see you, jim mister Keller fitz Keller.
You probably don't remember me measure? Why no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
We met for a few short minutes this afternoon on
the landing at forty one Wolton Strata. Oh, comes back
to you now?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, what do you want? And I would prefer to
discuss this privately.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
A grace to your mind.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Oh cood not, Jimmy, I.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Run over and talk to Twyla. It's the ninth media,
mister Keller. The pleasure was all mine. I'll be back
about twenty minutes. Yes, that'll be fine, lovely woman. You
know why how I kill her?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But you might at least invite me to sit down.
I don't think you'll be staying long. I trust you
will appreciate my position. Major Dodge, Sweet Chairman's are poor people.
Circumstances often compel us to do things we cannot help.
In my case, I have a rare opportunity to go
into business with one of my compatriots. Unfortunately we lack capital, so.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So I would be obliged if you would loan me
forty five thousand marks. That's ten thousand American dollars.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It isn't as though I had no security to offer
in exchange I am.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Prepared to turn over this.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Where did you get these pictures?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Desert Lily? Photographed beautifully? But personally?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
If you think I'm gonna let you blackmail the age
in ugly world, but.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I asked for the loan.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Of course, there is the chance you will never be repaid.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So you come on, get up. No one, no one
I ever regretted. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Had your second call on me, I might even call
on you myself.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Good norm and makes a dodge. I'm sure we shall
meet that game.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Hello, statue, Lily, I've got to see you. Suppose we
meditated that crutch?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Have you told your wife about us?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
No? No, something's come up, Lily. Do you know of
Fritz Keller?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Heller?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, no, Keller with a K.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
He knows about us? He's even got a set of pictures.
He wants forty five thousand marks for them. Yes, he
was the same boy I met on your landing the
other day.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Do you think I cooperated with him?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
You intimate it this Wait a minute, let me practically accube.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I didn't mean it. I swear.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
What do you recommend Yes, did Keller do his work?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
I am not ashamed of our love.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No, no, Lily, I don't want Grace to find out
about us this way.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Then you have no choice but to pay him where
when you raise the money.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Well, I'll manage somehow. You do love me, don't you, Lily?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
You silly boy, of course I do.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
What can I see you tonight?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I'll tell Grace I.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Don't think you better, Jimmie.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I want you to be able to give her.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Keller your undivided attention, as in Darling.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
And the Major is of the oh he and I yes,
I'm looking for Major Dodge.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh is nn. I'm Major Dodge, a civilian AIDS and
I help you. Maybe you can't bad.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'm Mike wearing, Mike swearing only a second. Haven't I
heard that name before?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I don't know, I didn't.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Why sure, you're the private detective they call the.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Falcon not so loud. I'm trying to live it down.
What are you doing here? I can't recall the temporary
duty with Army intelligence. What's down? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm Alan Bruce. You just get into Berlin now. I've
been here for a week doing groundwork.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
You don't think that we've got a couple of spies
on the payroll.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
There might be.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
From the looks of your accounts. The Pentagon cake with
me are ten thousand dollars short? Oh they're crazy your husband?
Double check Bruce, someone around here, sticky fingers. How long
have you been known Major Dodge? Don't tell me you think
that Jimmy is a possibility.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh well, you're out of your mind. You might just
as well suspect me. I do, well, that makes a
lot more sense. Jimmy's as honest as they come.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Now. I'm sure you know where I can reach you.
Why No, he and Grace just moved. What's his phone number?
I don't think they've got a phone. That's right. He
told me was having trouble getting it transferred.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well when he gets in and asked me to call me.
I'm staying at the Henton gird I'll do that, I'm
saying of Bruce.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You beat.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Opera, get me grounded the air one three four one, oh,
come on, come on.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Hello? Is that you Jimmy? Yeah, Bruce here, can you talk? Why?

I don't know, but you better get down to the
office pronto. Washington Center an investigator and they might wearing to.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
See you like wearing.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
I thought he was enrolled, Not anymore, he claims we're
ten thousand dollars short. What Yes, he's been sent here
to find the guilty cuitters.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You don't think I ah, of course not. What do
you take me for anyway?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well he's wearing man now.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
No, no, I left him minute at all. He wants
you to get in touch with him at the Hindenburg.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You better do it real fast.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
What's my hurry? Relax and Bruce, I'll get to wearing
and do time. Oh thanks for the tip anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Lady business, I beg your pardon not to remember me. No,
I'm saying that Fritz killer. I want to see a
husband that we could go. Oh, of course, how are you?
I wonder what your care to turn me in a
glass of wine?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, I'm sorry, I'm late for an appointment. Now I
think this might be to your advantage. Grace forgive me informality,
but I do hope we can be friends. Perhaps you
will accept this portfolio. Yeah, I'm not talking about Esteve,
but what is it? There is snapshots of Berlin. For example,
(10:14):
here is one of our zools. Oh isn't that Jimmy
in the pegram or?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I believe it is.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I'm sure you must know the woman. Yes, I
just happen to notice she's an old These picture your
husband's sister, perhaps, yes, very lovely, and she looks at
him so duringly. Obviously they are very fond of each other.
But I hope you will keep these. It's a little
(10:44):
so many out of your staying billy.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You're very kind. Now if you'll forgive me, hell alam,
I'll have work that comes have my old dodge. That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I trust you will forgive this improsion. My name is
adult Fimeler, Adolphimeler. Yes, I'm sure it means nothing to you,
but we do have a mutual friend. Who would you
care to venture?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Again?
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Look, I happen to be busy, so if you don't mind.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The typical American spirit niche you must make every moment count.
But then who can blame you?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
We are on for such a short time. A quia
a philosopher? Yes, in my work, one must be all right, what.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Are you getting us?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Perhaps this will clear up matters?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And I put it with a gun. Well, you show
an interest in my profession. Why are you doing this
for money? I know I should be ashamed of myself,
but when one is for this money.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You want to get away from that death. I just
want to show you, I said get away. That's the
trouble with your Americans.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You are so used to giving orders, you never learned
to take them.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
This will teach you. Can you stop in time? Ask
yourself that question the next time you drive your car.
If the car in front of you should jam on
(12:23):
his brakes to avoid a stray dog, if a child
should dash across an intersection, if a tire should blow out,
could you stop in time to save a life? Slippery roads,
fogged windshields, poor visibility. All of these factors mean that
you must be more alert in following simple safety rules
at all times. Remember, accidents don't always happen to the
(12:47):
other fellow. And now back to the adventures of the Falcon. Now,
I guess you don't approve of a little thirty eight
can make some men a big shot and three eight
(13:07):
off by La Pumpos plugged in the Nature James Dodge.
I did a two of the West Berlin Police headquarters.
Her General Inspector Schiller, who was in charge, was quite
proud of their facilities. Sells are complete in every detail.
This one even came equipped with the brunette Proud Dodge. Yeah, yeah,
I have a visitor Elements dodge. Who are you, Mike wearing?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You called me when you're through? Yeah? Thanks a lot
to inspect the General.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Instiagrette, Oh yeah, did the mbity tanger?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, I'm here on my own. I'm working from the intelligence.
I wonder if you'd mind answering a few questions.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
If it's about my husband's manners, I can only tell
you what I told the others.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
They think you killed him.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
That's ridiculous, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And Adolf Bimeler know he's the boy who pulled the
trigger in.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Does he claim I hired him for the occasion?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So far they haven't been able to ask him.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
He escaped the Russian zone and the comrade show a
strange reluctance to turn him over.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And well, when they do, we.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Will find that I didn't tire him. Where's my motive?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, you know your husband was playing around with some fraeulein.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
That is a lie.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And how do you explain those snapshots of Jimmy and
the blonde venus they found in your purse.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
They didn't mean a thing. She was an old friend
of the family.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What's her name, Gretchen, Gretchen Schumann. Where can I find him?
Speaker 8 (14:35):
You can't.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
She moved to East Germany a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I look, Missus Dodd, Hauld like to help you, but
I've got to know the truth. Who is this girl?
I told you her name is Gretchen Schumann. That's what
you told me.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
You don't believe me?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Nope, I'm sorry. It's so mine because I'm going to
find him. And if you won't help me, maybe I
know the party who will.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Say sill her what not.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
I wish I could give you a lead worring, but honestly,
I don't see how I can.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I never know unless you try it. Bruce, Do you
think Missus Dodd killed her husband?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Why should she? He was cheating. I don't believe it.
Why not? You were covering from him? Who said?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
So?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I do? When I saw you at the office, who
told me the major moved and he didn't have a
phone in this new place? You were lying? Now, look,
weren't you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I called him right after you left. Why he was
my friend, even though he had his hand and Uncle
Sam's pockets. He'll never get me to believe that. Do
you believe he was involved with some female?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes? How did you find out? I ran into them
together a couple of months ago? Is this the girl? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
That's Lily, all right, Lily, Lily Tissen hot a dodge meter.
Know what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Maybe I'd like to make her acquaintance the same way.

There's a little nightclub on Komstress. It's called the Creutz Killing. Oh,
that's the King of clubs. Yes, she works there. I'm
doing what I don't know exactly good. Then I'll have
a chance to find out for myself.

parts vodka.

Go ahead, for I suppose I should introduce myself.

Hell, if it gives you any I'm all for it.
You think your wife would approved my wife?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Well, I noticed that wedding ring.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Oh oh, oh, she's back in New York. He would
leave the kid. We have children six.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
You are kind of young to have some man.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, I got an early start.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Tell me about her.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Ell see the greatest little girl in the world, real
wonderful mother. A man. You get eight servants in the
house so she won't leave the kids.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
You have ate in hell?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, I mean on the permanent staff. Of course. When
we throw a shindig, we bring in the dust more.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You must be very wealthy wearing I do all.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Right, But it's just so noisy here.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Why don't we go over to my place? Why I
have a little flat me as a tear got me.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I think she might like you?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well, gee, would would we have you alone?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Surely I'm not saying, Oh no.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I was just thinking of a little woman. You might
not understand.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Don't you have a saying what you do not know
can never hurt you.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hey, that's right.
Speaker 7 (18:22):

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Hey, this is all right?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
You like it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Like it? I think this is the softest touch in
this lannel. And plus, I.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Just hope Elsie would be understand I'm sure she would
sit down.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
What about you, I'm just going to slip into something
a little more calm photograph.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Wait, wait a minute, don't worry, I won't belong Hello,
an over her drites fight five.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, I'll be right with you.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Michael, how yourself to a drink?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It's really oh, you know this is not very brightly
extenuating circumstances.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I just discovered Jimmy Dodge's successor make another American?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What is his name?
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Mike Wearing is rich. He also has a wife and
six children.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It sounds most interesting.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
That's why I thought you should make his acquaintance and
bring along your camera for it. So I think mister
Wearing will prove the most photogenic subject.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
No way, there's no Oh yeah, howld up? Be right there,
all right, I'm coming. I'm coming, Michael Wearing. That's right,
my card. So Witch Keller, at your service? What can
I do for you? I prefer to discuss that inside,
(20:20):
may I? Why not? You should a thank you? What's
on your mind? Fritz? And I am a photographer by trade,
Hell Wearing?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So perhaps you might like a set of pictures as
assumni have your visit to Germany.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
No, I don't think I'll need them. I've seen the
concentration camps and gass chambers at book.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
And wall and dark Howe, I remember that for quite
a while. You must understand, we Germans do nothing about
what's going on.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I'm sure all you people thought they were rest homes
for the agent.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I refused to be involved in the political discussion. I
have more important business. Perhaps you would care to see
a portfolio of my work? Yeah? Sure, love to. Ah hmm,
that's nice. You recognize the lady? Yeah, absolutely it is,
and she looks wonderful. But I don't think you did
(21:08):
me justice. But it is undoubtedly you. Oh yeah, it's
me all right. I'm willing to sell them for forty
five thousand marks. When do I get a discount if
I buying gross lots?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
If you think I've joked on her, I think you're
quite serious. You would not care to have your wife
receive a set with my compliments? My wife, I believe
her name is Elsie. Oh, Elsie say, Fritz is a photographer.
Maybe you'd like to see a picture. And I think
there was one of this magazine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Here and she does a lot of modeling. Yeah, here
we are. Now, what do you think of Elsie? But
this is a cow that's no way this big of
the woman I love. But you totally she didn't take
me serious. I guess I should be ashamed of myself.
I would not advise you to try that again. You
(21:58):
never should have said that, Fritz. I'm a kind of
a kid. You can't resistant me. You pull the same
list done on Major Dog. Now and I say you did.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't bother getting up, ris to stay right there.
If I get dressed, I'll call you as soon as
I'm ready.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
I must admit that you build a very substantial case
against the man heir wedding.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But you don't believe he was responsible for Major Dodger's
murder Franklin, No, thank you, handspector girl shut up. He
practically admitted to me. I did nothing of the cat.
Why you dirty their wedding? Please?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I'm sorry, Schuller, but what does it take to convince
you people anyway? What it requires in New country evidence?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
But you know he and Lily Taysen were working this
blackmail racket on major Dodge. Can you prove it? Yes?
Through his wife. You gave her a duplicate set of
those pictures. Ah, then she knew that her husband was unproved. Yes,
she knew, all right, but she didn't have him killed.
Fritz head dead? Why should I Well, maybe he wouldn't
pay off, but he did.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
If you, gentlemen, will examine my bank book, you will
find a deposit entry of forty five thousand marks on.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
The seventh of July, but a Dodge page you've been
There was no reason for me to having kids. And
why did you give those pictures to his wife? I
thought she might be interested. Apparently she was.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
If I could be of any further service to her
during her trial, please Field Feet to call on me.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Couldn't have my head.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You and your children can expect to live long. Thanks
largely to better medicine and surgery. But you could expect
to live even longer were it not for the danger
of automobile accidents. In the fifteen to twenty five age
group alone, traffic accidents wiped out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Three hundred thousand years of life last year.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
If driver education could be taught in all of our
high schools instead of only a third of them, it
might someday help to save the life of your own.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Son or daughter In your own automobile. Remember to drive
as though your life depends on it.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It does.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Well,
now I know how Headler must have felt when they
dropped the Blockbuster on the right chancellery.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
He must have been real upset.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And after Fritz Keller bought himself out of Chiller's office there,
Inspector General and I looked at each other.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't know what he saw, but I was disappointed,
and I thought of great Dodge. That didn't share me
up either. Mister Hell is done.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You don't look too happy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Zn't my fault?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, I had a nomination for the party responsible for
your husband's murder, but the convention turned me down.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Who was it Fritz Keller.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Wait, I don't know the gentleman.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, he knows you. He gave you that set of
pictures of Jimmy and Lily Tiesen.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Is that what he claimed?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's what he claims lying. We can't prove it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Frout Dodge, go right ahead, I love, Angel. If you
think by denying everything you can escape the rope, you're wrong. Friends,
was blackmailing your husband?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
If he was, I had no knowledge of it.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
I hate to contradict, lady, but you did. On the
fifth of July. You were called by Maya All.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Breast and Company to the brokerage firm. Here they deal
in American security fraud.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Dodge and her husband, joint Clear, held several shares of
stock to sell them.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Both.
Speaker 10 (25:29):
Their signatures were required. Well Outbreads thought your signature was forged.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
He called you to.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Verify it, and I told him it was genuine.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Then obviously you knew your husband was.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Being blackmail I think I see it now. It was
a parent to me long ago. I tell you, I'm
making a mistake. With a little luck, I can prove it.
Keep the thing its crossed, Angel, I'm gonna need all
the help we can get. I don't get it. Worrying,
(26:03):
But if you feel I can help Grace, I'll do
everything I can. Well, that's what it's going to take, Bruce,
everything I want you to help me. Bet a trap?
A trap? Yeah you believe Grace had her husband killed?
Of course not. And that makes two of us. What
do you think was the killer's motives? Money? That's when
I think too. The ten thousand dollars that Fritz Keller.
Now the ten thousand was lifted from the office. But
(26:25):
you said killer wound up with that. Now I wasn't
the same money Jimmy rays his by selling some personal
stocks that he and his wife owned. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I can see there were two sums of ten thousand
dollars involved, the one dog paid off the Keller and
the one you lifted from the office.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
What you had Dodge killed the color of theft. Do
you realize what you're saying? Of course, why do you
think I invited you to drive me down at police headquarters?
Now just keep going, Bruce, you're on the right road.
It took a wrong when when you turn the murder.
Now you're doing fine. I need pless you ide on Marshnell.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You you like it here, Hey, Eddie, Yeah, but it
doesn't seem the same with that. Lily sure would like
to have another couple of pictures taken with her.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And well just be cut. My friends in America, and
I have no idea what was on here. You are
leaving for the United States.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Shortly tomorrow morning, and that's too far off. I leave
tonight if there was a plane on sure.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
We're gonna be here around. And there's a cablegram for
you are responded time your hotel. No, you open and chill.
You are not sure? You I know what it says.
You're gonna leave me stuck here in Europe forever. No,
you are wrong, but you are to leave the continentcy immediately.
I don't believe that. Let's see that. See they are
(27:50):
sending you to not if no? Good night here, Inspector General.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
The Case of the Broken Key. The Case of the
Broken Key, that's the title of next week's Adventure of
the Falcon, when Mike Wherring learns that although love may
laugh at Locksmith, murder is no joke. The Adventures of
(28:34):
the Falcon are based on the famous character created by
Brexel Drake, produced and transcribed by Bernard el Schubert, written
