Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Paula, Now
you have to cancel me out tonight. I've gotta do
some antique collecting and I don't like it either, but

When the Falcon solves the case of the Burning Bridges,
it's early afternoon in Manhattan and the New York to Chinatown.
A rugged looking gentle name is George Bridges pushes his
way through a marble Chinese and heads for a small shop.
The legend in Kessler's import is on the store window.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes it can I help you?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't think so. I'd like to see mister Kessler.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Well, mister Kisler doesn't like to be disturbed.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And like it's very important.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, if it isn't, I traveled three thousand miles for nothing.
My name is George Bridges.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Well just a second, Yeah, what is it joke? I'm
sorry to bother you're Julian, But there's a gentleman out here.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's the Kisler.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
His name is George Bridges.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Never heard of Oh tell him. I'm a friend of
Oppenheimer in San Francisco. All right, Joan showed the gentleman in.
If you'll just follow me to I'd love to come in,
mister Bridges. Thanks, that would be our John. Yes, this is.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
A great pleasure. Well this is my associator. How about
Julian glad Million?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like?
Speaker 6 (01:50):
What produced it down?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And what can I do for you? I meant to
sit and buy in the Hoshan Buddha, the Houshin Buddha. Yeah,
I understood you had one to sell. And where do
you understand that? From Oppenheimer? Oh, we told me to
give this to you, dear Casse. Now this one serves
to introduce George Bridges. He's interested in completing his collection
of Buddha's. Anything you can do for him will be appreciated.
(02:15):
Good stuff, Oppenheimer.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now, Julian, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We have another letter from Oppenheim on the fire?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yes? Get it? Like a good boy or what do
you think this one is a forgery?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It never occurred to me, mister Bridges, but now that
you mention it, it might bear investigation.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Have you got it, Julia?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And what do you think looks so kady?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Me find out that we've got that subtle? Let's get
down the cases. What do you want for the Hoshian Buddha?
This presupposes I have one for saying, Well, if you haven't,
I'm within my time just a second, mister Bridges, you
realize a Hoshien Buddha comes very high. They're only for
an existence. This one was uncovered during the box. Sorry, Ben,
Now I'd never mind the history lesson.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's your price?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars? He must take it dealing.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
With a chuck and perhaps you'd like to see a
picture of it. I believe we have. I don't have to.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's think it's on the side that couldn't hold more
than five killers of the stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Pardon lud Kessler, Let's not do anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Sensing her, I'll pay seventy thousand. You're trying to take
advantage of me. You realize what five killers? What yield
after cutting seventy thousand. Take it or leave it? What
do you think, Julian? Take it very well, mister Bridges.
I assume you.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Have the money on you. I got it at my hotel.
When can you make delivery? Where are you staying at
the Brighton? Under? What name? My own? Is that safe?
So I tell you how to run your business? You're
so right? I suppose we make it for tomorrow twelve. Okay,
I'll see you then. Good day, sir. A nice meet you, Julie. Yes,
(03:45):
friendly guy and I.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
When in my lifetime I've discovered Julian's mother. Something just
occurred to me. You think he's a phony? If you
step here on the corner, I'd like to show you something.
Woods A take a look at my desk. You notice
anything strange? Lo, Well, you're not very observant, Julian. You
(04:08):
will have the key on the intercom down?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What who is that fund? The girl? Do you think
she hurd? There's one way to find out.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
For John dear, Yes, would you come in here?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I have an errand for you?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
She heard? What are you gonna do? I haven't made
up my mind, Julian, but when I do, believe me
you'll be the first to know. Well, hello, uh.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
How do you do? I uh, I'm looking for a
mic Wearing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It couldn't affected a better place. Come in?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):

caught your name.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
It's Calvin, John Calvin, try the sofa. I don't know
if I'm doing the right thing.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Don't be frightened, Dolly. It is only a man's about them.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I did. Can I offer you a smell off martini?
You thinks you don't know what you're missing? Is he
the vit in?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
It came here on business, mister Wearing?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I see, Well, you can't rule a man out for tryin.
What's your problem?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I just said, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Come again, we see.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I work for an importing firman.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
This morning my employer had a conference with a man
from San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
And how it happened.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But the intercom key was down, so you couldn't help eavesdropping.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yes, they were talking about something called the ho Shi Buddha.
This dates back to the Wang dynasty. This man was
going to buy it for seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Wow, what's wrong? With that objects come home?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I know, but I checked with the library and there
never was a Wang dynasty.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No wonder, it's so rare. What's your employer's name?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I I can't tell you. I may be doing him
an injustice.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Look, Angel, please don't press mean as you wearing? Mm
what would you have me do?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Right after this gentleman left, my employer called me into
his office.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And gave me this.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And Central Claim Department. I'm responsible for a good lift
over thirty days. Do you think this is for the buddhen?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Can you describe it for me?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I can do better.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I've got a picture, mum, and I've seen a million
like this in Chinatown?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
And then why should this one be worth so much money?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I don't know. Angel, let me have a claim check.
Where do you live at the Marlboro? I like a
home and wait, I'll be bia as soon as I
picked this thing up. Time the Chicago Limited do to

I got it. That's the funny thing.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I remember checking this part for for a guy this morning.
You don't look nothing like him.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
He sent me to pick it up. Got me identifications? Sure,
well let's do Michael Wearing four nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, sorry, I had trouble and mister wearing a company

Well you you wouldn't have to.
Speaker 2 (07:59):

Speaker 6 (08:06):
You're a real generous type kid, don't you.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Maybe I can do something for you, I daughter if
you never know, how about a lift?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Thanks? I figure.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Guy, Come, I'm a fella. You want to know why
I'm keeping his hand in my pocket? Just walk on
like nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Why something going to will? If you don't behave yourself
hold it. We'll make up your mind.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I just came to the conclusion it'd be silly to
waltz you all the way through this joint. Let's see
what's behind that door. Huh can't you read? Don't get gay?
Just pick him up and lay him down?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Okay, call froom.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
And nice and quiet here and I got a feeling
it won't be for long. I got the same fear.
Where'd you get that parcel?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
What's it to you?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Look, fella, don't get smart. Just lay it down on
the floor.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'll back up a couple of steps. Oh that's fine.
Tell me something about yourself, sure, Judie, What did you
call me? Julian? Isn't that your name? How do you
know that? I got a great memory for faces. You
were pointed out to me about nine years ago in
Detroit when you were running with the Purple Mob.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And what do they call you?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Mike Wearing? Where do you get that claim? Chick? I
found it in the street.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
I asked you something, and I answered it. John Calvin
gave it to you, didn't she?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Look, Julian, I think I've been very patient. I don't
know what you want.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Get back.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Irently. Can't blame a guy for trying.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
No.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
In your place, I'd probably do the same, you see,
But then I'm not in your place, and right now
I wouldn't change for the world.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
There's one thing I can't stand.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's a wise guy.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Well that's the story, Kittler. When Joan didn't show up,
I got suspicious and I saw this character come up
and present the check.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
How far away were you, Julian? Maybe thirty feet?
Speaker 7 (10:00):
In that distance, you knew immediately our little Johnny had
sent him.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That was very bright. And I told you I had
a hunch.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
When he picked up the parcel, I knew I was right.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
How do you suppose mister Waring came to have the
claim check? One't asked Joan, as I intend to.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Unfortunately she isn't here.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
When shall we see if the gods have been kind
to us?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
The hoshin Buddha? Isn't it lovely? Julian? He puts me
in mind of a poem I once read.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Puts me in mind of our friend George Bridges. He's
still waiting, remember, Oh, yes, and hand me that paperweight
even open enough?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yes, like you, I'm given to hunches. What are you
talking about? Paperweight? Please? I was wrong. What do you expect?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I thought it might be empty? In any event, I
think it needs testing.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Careful. You don't want to take off. You don't think
there's much danger for that. It's sugar, It's what see
for yourself. We've been double cross so it would appear.
Now where do you think it came from. Could be
that Mike Warring.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't see how Julian, by your own admission, he
had no time to make a substitution. When did you
say you saw.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Him around four point thirty and you didn't get.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Back to the chap till seven? It was a quarter
of It's still two and a quarter hours to be
accounted for. Look, are you accusing me or a cliche? Julian?
If the shoe hit.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Look Kessler, I don't have to take that kind of talk.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Still seventy thousand dollars worth of merchandise had disappeared, it
would be most interesting to know what happened to it.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We aren't you forgetting Joe? Suppose she was working with Bridges.
It's a possibility.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Get up Onnheim on the phone in San Francisco and
ask him what he knows of the gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Welcome yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm going over and see that.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Wearing courage, and I wish you wouldn't look. I've got
as much at stake in this thing as you have.
I'm gonna do my own check.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
If why not wait to hear what up in him?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You'll keep you just let me know what happens.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I hope you'll do as much for me.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Take care of your saint, Julian, I should hate for
anything to happen to you.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'll never go there again.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I don't blame you one remember me.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
How could I ever forget?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
You made quite an impression, and I still got the
gimmick that did the trick.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And you're smoking too much.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Shut the door, and I was hoping I've seen the
laugh of you. We're gonna get real chummy now that
you want some water, stay right there.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Maybe if I've put a john the vacuum, let joel
on proper. I'll check it in the corner. All right, now,
you and I are going to have a nice long talk.
Come on, Julian, get up with your starting. I said,
on your feet, Juan Judan, Hello, Tony, this mister wearing
(13:21):
look be a good kid and call the police. I've
got a visitor here who won't leave. No, no, no,
it wouldn't do any good for you to talk to him.
He's dead. I think we just have to wait for
the cops.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Can you stop in time? Ask yourself that question the
next time you.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Drive your car.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
If the car in front of you should jam on
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 light? Slippery roads, fog, windshields,
poor visit ability. All of these factors mean that you
must be more alert in following simple safety rules. Always
get the feel of the road before you accelerate. Check
(14:09):
on your driving habits.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Be careful.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Accidents don't always happen to the other fellow. Now back
to the Adventures of the Falcon. Thirty minutes have passed
since Mike wearing slug Robert Julian, only to discover that
(14:32):
his man couldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Get off the floor.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Now there's no question in Sergeant Corbett's mind but that
our hero facts are deadly walloped.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
How don't be a chump car? But I didn't kill
only with.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Alive when you shocked him. Yes, now he's dead, you'll
explain it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What do you make of this? A man like red
neck guys? Red shirts too? Huh? Look under the tie,
Notice the blood cluffs. Where did it come from? No,
don't touch him. I just wanted to show you he
was dead. Let's see that letter opening. Oh, don't be
a fool. Nothing as wide as a letter open and
made this in his decision. It's probably done by something
(15:08):
like a nail file. Five will get to ten. Have
happened long before he got here. Well, then how did
he make it over that? With an internal hemorrhag he
could live for hours. He might never even known he
was hurt. He said, you ran into him earlier today.
I did. He took that possibleway from me in Grand Central.
Then what was the point of the return engagement? I
don't know. You suppose your client, does you mean Joan Calvin? Yes?
(15:32):
What do you know about it? Everything? She looks like
she posed for a more judd hose read by you.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
This is everything?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Well listen, it enough, not for.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Me, especially with people getting themselves knocked off in your apartment.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I yes, you're right, Corbette. Well I'll tell you what
we'll do. We've took the assignment two ways. You take
care of Julian, I'll take care of Joam.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Give you my word, mister worry. I told you all
I possibly can.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
All right, nearly enough, Angel, since I met you, the
most interesting things have happened. One. I get slugged as
soon as I pick up your package. When I come
to I find the same character again waiting for me
in my apartment.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Oh, that's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
How well did you know Julian?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I didn't know him at all.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Look, John, were dealing with a murder and now we're
not playing games. Who do you work for Paul Kessler?
Did Julian work for him too?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
When did you last see him? This morning?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
It worked before mister Kessler gave me that claim check, and.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You haven't seen him since. No, Okay, let's get back
to Kessler. How did you get the job?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I answered, Nat?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
When was this oh?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
About three weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Did you notice anything out of line?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Nothing, except as they seemed to discourage business.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Anytime a customer would walk in, they just expression is
brush him off.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Remember there was one customer they didn't slush for, My
boy from San Francisco. You heard on the intercom. What
was his name?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I can't remember?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Com on joan't think a right?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
What wear bridges?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Bridges? Do you remember his first name?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I think it was George. Do you think he killed Julian?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
We'll cross those bridges when we get to Oh what
I said? After I see Kessler, I'm going home and
watch my mouth out with soap. I'm proudly size. So
(17:30):
we're closed for the day. Maybe it'll pay it open again.
I hardly think so. Well, you never know, I might
prove the customer of the year. I'm interested in the Buddhen.
When there's a shop on the corner, it doesn't handle
this time, I'm looking for the whole Shin Buddher supposed
to date back to the Wang dynasty. It must be
extremely rare, yes, extremely you see, there never was a
(17:51):
Wang dynasty. I'm afraid they don't follow you. That's because
you're twenty miles ahead. Won't you sit down, mister Wearing
Mike Wearing? Wait, what can I do for you? I
told you I'm interested in the Hoshian Buddha, not by
you on admission day. Isn't it such tea? How strange enough?
There is? Matter of fact, I had my hands on
it earlier today, only someone took it away, someone named
(18:15):
Robert Julian. You know him. It's very well and you
should be interested in learning that he was murdered. I
beg your pardon, you should beg his He was stabbed
to death. Where did this happen? That's what I'd like
to know. When it was the last time you saw him.
I had two this afternoon. He was waiting for me
at my apartment at mine. What do you suppose he
(18:35):
was in the meantime? I have no idea I have
I think he was here. If you're mistaken, my friends, now,
that's possible. Happens often enough. By the way, what made
that buddha so valuable? I wouldn't know. He had a
girl named Joan Calvin who worked for you, was supposed
to pick it up. She showed me a picture of it.
She did mm hmm, yeah, look, I just sell her here.
(18:57):
Please don't handle the merchandise those Sorry, it's slipped, there's
nothing in it. What did you expect? Well, I don't
know exactly, but you had a customer for it, a
man named George Bridges. How did you figure in this?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a detective, that's right,
and then you should tag me.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I listen, Cassler, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
As I said, before it passed our closing hour, then
before ninety eight, Please huh for the buddha you just destroyed.
When you make a mistake, mister ware, and you should
be prepared to pay for it.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
For ninety eight please cass I imports are yes. George Bridges,
Oh how are you, mister Briege?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Not's so hot?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Your boy didn't show what the merchandise?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Oh there's been an unavoidable delay.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Well, I'm due back on the coast. I got a
reservation tomorrow at eight on the Oak capitat. Can you
think be able to deliver before then?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It's very problematical. Look, Kessler, there are other dealers in
New York. Now, whether you want my business your dogs?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Oh? I do, But you see, Julian met with an
unfortunate accident.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Poor fellow, he was murdered. How'd that happen?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I have no idea, but I think a man named
Michael Wearing does?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
How does this Wearing character affect that deal?
Speaker 7 (20:23):
He doesn't. Just be patient, mister Bridges. I'll get to
you in time.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Come in follow the water's fun. Huh. You know this
is the second time this has happened today. He had
a gun too. You better change your luck, and you
better change your luck. He wound up murdered. You must
be real tough or not me? I was yere. It's stiff.
Now what's your name? Or maybe I can guess maybe
(21:04):
you can. Now I gotta hunt at George Bridges from
San Francisco. How do you know that I'm psychic?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What's your interest in? Is wearing fame as yours?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It isn't.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You're doing business with Kessler in a manner of speaking,
and you ought to know. I didn't get the booter
you picked up.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Hey, wait a minute, you look like the guy in
the baggage room. I look like a lot of people.
Did you notice what happened to me afterwards? No? I
was hijacked. Where's the Buddha? Now? I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Can you get me one? It's the prices, right, I'll
pay seventy thousand. Tell me something, Bridges, What makes that
Buddha so valuable?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Don't you know? I got an idea, but I like
to confirm it. You know, wearing I was right all along?
You don't know from nothing? No, but I'm learning not
nearly enough. If you're smart, you'll stop minding your own business.
This is my business. A man named Robert Jordan was
murdered right here.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well, if you don't want some of the same treatment,
you'll stop sticking your neck out now out of my way.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
May not so fast, so you can move and put
the gun away bridge. You wouldn't dare use it. A
shot would bring down the house. This is so right,
But you forget.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
A gun has two ends, and under proper conditions, one end.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Is as effective as the other. Let's see what I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Unbelievable as it may sound, accidents nominations highways in the
last ten years have killed more than three hundred thousand Americans.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Like you and me.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What's more, they have injured no fewer than eleven million men, women,
and children, crippling several million of these victims for life.
Help to protect your own life and the lives of
your family by driving safely. Work for greater highway safety
for yourself and for your family in your own community
and state. And whenever you take the wheel of your
own car, drivers, though your life depends on it, it does.
(23:08):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Thirty minutes of past might entertain George Bridges in his apartment,
And this was one Bridges Mike never should have attempted
to cross. Oh my head, what's the matter? Boy? Can't
you take it there anymore? You gotta be used to
it by Now, what are you doing here, sergeant. Your
elevator boy found you and gave us a buzz. Well,
who did it this time? A boy who killed Julian? Huh, look, Cob,
(23:38):
I've got it all figured out. His name is George Bridges.
George Bridges. Yes, when your lat turn to him, we'll
be home. Oh we will. Yes. Why do you suppose
he killed Julian to get his hands on that Buddha
told you abot?
Speaker 8 (23:51):
Well for your information, George Bridges happens to be a
Treasury agent you want. He's head of the narcotics division.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You had him pegged as a killer.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Oh, you're a real bloodhound, Mike. I'm gonna get your
can a strong heart.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
But if Bridges was a government boy, what does he
want with me? You know your talents for butting in.
You must have wanted to find out if you want
to mixed up in this deal.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, at least I'm making progress or you're making progress. Yep,
I know now that, but just didn't kill Julian. You're amazing.
Let me at that phone. Who you're calling my clients?
Joan Calvin. Yes, she can put the finger on the
guilty party. She doesn't lose her nerve we can wrap
this up in fifteen minutes. Hello, Joon, this is Mike Warring.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Oh so glad you called Mike.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I'm getting frightened.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Now there's nothing to worry about. Angel. We'll have this
thing solved in minutes if you'll only cooperate. Now, here's
what I want you to do. Grab a cab and
go down to cast the shop.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
But you told me I was fired.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Oh, I've got a new job for you. I'll be
a good girl and go right to work.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Just the second, please.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Me to kiss her.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
You seem surprised, my dear, Well, I think of someone else.
We have thought. This is my establishment.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I I'm afraid I made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You've made several, my dear, Sit down.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
No, I'll come back a little.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I wouldn't think of it. You know you're very stupid, girl,
John three. I've misjudged you completely. Why did you hire
Mike Wearing?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Now?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Look to ketch.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You're very interested in your reasoning. Of course I have
my own fear, and you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Almost miss Mike cut didn't I? Oh, this is Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Are we interrupting anything or not at all?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I bet you were asking Joan. Why she hired wearing
it's not too important, but you're not very flabbering. She
came to me because she was worried, and she had reason.
She was mixed up with several unsavory characters. One of
these characters subsequently got himself murdered poor Julian. Yes, well,
at least his problems are over. Tell me who do
you think did it? I wouldn't know. Oh, you must
(26:16):
have some idea, I'm afraid not. He told me. The
last time you saw it Julian was at two o'clock
this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
They're right, how was he dressed? He was wearing a
blue suit with a yellow tie.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
She's lying he was wearing a red tie.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Thanks, angel, I knew you'd be helpful. Okay, sergeant, what
are you waiting for? What are you talking about? Well,
don't you see who killed Julian? No? Who do you
suppose dreamed up this double cross? Who's a smart wheel
that made all the little cogs go her?
Speaker 4 (26:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Him, really, mister ware No really, mister Kessler. You did
a nice piece of work. This is no time for
you to go modest on the people room. All right, Sergeants,
make like a policeman.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
If I don't get it, I just don't get it
at all. What's your problem?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Little man? Look I got you're switching.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
This is the first time I can remember in this
kind of a case where the girl didn't know it.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh, Tesler was your most obvious suspect.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Proving the most obvious suspect is guilty, can get your
barred from the unions. And what made you latch onto him?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, it didn't make sense otherwise, according to Bridges, there
were seventy thousand dollars worth a junk on that booter.
Now I asked you would a guy like Tesla trust
a girl you hobby you to pick it up? Why
should he? Julian was available senter the court to me,
this whole thing must have been a test and testa
substituted booh, Only Julian didn't know. Before he could find out,
Tesla punctured his vanity. Now does that answer your questions?
(27:58):
All but one? How do you conser the mistake you made?
Where did I make a mistake?
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Well, here there was a beautiful blonde in the case,
and you wind up the evening with me.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now, if that ain't a boner, nothing.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Is mine I'm so shy. I hope I haven't kept
you waiting.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, what do you know? You say something corporate? No,
then I will. Good night, Sergeant,
