Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Virginia. I'm
glad you called.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now you have to cancel me out tonight, Angel Army
Intelligence is flying me to Berlin. Yeah, it seems some
boy there set up a murder that's pretty as a
picture and they figure out look good in the frame.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere,
those hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their
lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now
when the Falcon solves the case of the Careless corpse.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
There's one nice thing you can say about working for
Army Intelligence.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You certainly get around.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
How else would a guy like me get to see
such wonderful places like Berlin and meet such interesting people
like Maxel Oppenheimer. And just in case you're curious, Maxel
was a cute looking character and a tight fitting green
suit and the gray gloves, surveying the crowd at the Europa,
a sidewalk cafe near the Willemstausser. So look at him,
you think he didn't have a care.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
In the world, and you'd be right. Maxwell. Lets the
next man do the worrying.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I help Christopher imagine finding you here. No, late Maxwell,
I could not help myself. I received your message at
five o'clock.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
No, learn, Schnoebel told me, I spoke to you at noon.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I never can hide things from you, can I, Christopher.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Sterm Mack Schnoebel, tell you about your Assergnant.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He started to, but I prefer to get my instructions
first hand. This way there's no chance for a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
An American intelligence officer named Michael Waring arrives from Madrid
this evening. He has an appointment tomorrow morning with Professor
Heinrich Schiller's the expert on rocking. Yes, would be in
the best interests of the Communist Party.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
If that appointment I never.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Kept, I think it can be arranged. Where does the
hair profess live?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
At fourteen Lepostrausser with his wife Margot.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Margot, she's an American. What an amazing coincidence here, Professor
Schiller a German. He is married to an American, and you,
an American, are married to a Cherman.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Suppose we leave my personal life out of this. Yes,
of course you are to introduce yourself to Schiller as
an agent of American intelligence.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You find all the necessary credentials in this wallet. Tell
him Waring sent you around to pick him up?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Where would you like to have him delivered to.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
The bakery and life six strasser.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I try to make arrangements to smuggle him into East
Berlin and Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And I'll be only too happy to look after him
till then.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't want to hurt Maxell.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Why Christopher'd never once entered my mind?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mean it, Professor Schiller can be very useful to
the party.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I wouldn't touch a hair on his head unless, of course,
it was absolutely necessary.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I'm warning you, Maxel.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It only meant I would resort to violence purely as
a last resort. You and I'm always ready to sacrifice
my desires for the party. I hope the her professor
will be as cooperative. Yes, excuse me, but I would
(03:27):
like very much to see her profairsa Haina Schila.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Of course, I'm frauchle. Won't you come in?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I don't get You're very kind?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Whom shall I say? Is calling?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Permit me?
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Naxel Oppenheimer United States Army Intelligence? What do you want
with my husband?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And naturally we are very interested in his experiments with archids.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Naturally, but when he was in a concentration camp, who cared?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
You say that with a great deal of bitterness.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Why can't you leave us alone? Everybody wants to use him,
that is now you people and the communists.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
So Sheila, has he suffered enough?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Why don't you stop bothering him?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm sure the hair professor does not feel this way.
If I could have a word.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
With him, he is not home.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's very strange. I spoke to Manse tailor for not.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
More than a yes.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Is there someone to see me now, my hair professor?
Shall I believe?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I'm Actuel Oppenheimer. Your lovely wife told me you were out.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Why Margot, Because they're all the same, They're all trying
to use you. I just want to pick your brains and.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Oh please lips? And what will our guests think? I
don't care what he thinks. I must apologize for my
wife hair Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But ever since I.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Was released from Dahow, she's most concerned for me. It's
very understandable. Real hair wearing is waiting for us. Shall
we go?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Of course?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
No? No, I won't let you. You're going to stay
out of this, Heinrich. This is none of your concerned
now lips.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You are upsetting yourself.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I want you if you go with him, don't expect
to find me here when you come back.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
You are talking you like a trial.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I mean it. You'll never see me again, never, All right, Hair.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Oppenheimer, if you are ready by what means? Oh? I
(05:27):
believe this is the one. Yes, And if you'll wait
to light on anzelides, Ah, there we are. It'd be
so good as to enter.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I know it isn't much, but please try to make
yourself comfortable. I find this very strange, Hair Oppenheimer. You
don't like my room? Professor? Well it it is hardly
what I expected. You means a bag in front? Yes,
we think it's very domatic. Who would ever suspect such
(06:05):
a politarian establishment? But where is Hair? Wearding here wearing
the gentleman I was supposed to me? Oh, yes, he'll
be here in a few minutes. In the meantime, perhaps
a little snaps. No, thank you, Heir Oppenheimer. My friends
call me Maxwell. May I see your credit and roots?
(06:29):
Isn't this rather late? May I see them?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Suppose they do not meet with your approval? That would
complicate matters if hair wedding arrives you just the tap, Professor,
you're not thinking of leaving? Yes, if I've offended you
in any way.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Will you be good enough to open this door?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I wish you didn't feel like this, because you'll leave
me no choice.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Put away that gun.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Does not write you, no, not even a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Are you going to open this door?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You know, Professor, I admire a man of spirit. They
offer challenge. I can never resist. Never. How do you feel, Professor?
I'm so sorry. I guess it proves there must be
something to feminine intuition. Remember your wife said if you
(07:28):
left with me, you'd never see her again. Well she
was absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Scond.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Hello, I'm looking for my wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well you picked the best possible place. Come in.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Thank you? Is he angry with me?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
He's who angry with you?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
My husband? He should have known. I never meant what
I said.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You mind if we take us from the top of
the page. I'm a little confused.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm Margot Schiller.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Margot shut wait a minute, you're not Professor Heinrich Schiller's wife.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yes, well, what do you know? Down?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I knew he was married, but I assumed it was
to a.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
German, didn't you, assistant? Tell you, my assistant.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
The little man you sent to pick up Heinwich, the
one in the green suit? When was this you did
send someone?
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Look, missus Shiller, well didn't you No? I just got
into Berlin an hour ago.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
He used your name.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I must have been a leak.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You've hidden him somewhere no better? But then what happened
to him?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
He was supposed to meet you, not till tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
He was kidnaped.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, I'm afraid. So now this man who came from
kill No, they won't, they wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Dare Why are you going to stop them? Oh? Why
couldn't you leave us alone?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Look, missus Schiller, I know you're upset. Let me take
your home, please, and I promise you we'll get your
husband back.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You promise me.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, I know how you feel, but give us a chance. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Now, let me drive you home. I'll get to work
on it right away.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Anybody, who is it just a moment?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Hello, Christopher, let me see huh.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
P us a shower?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh? He in the bedroom. It's all right, But of
course we spent a very enjoyable evening.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
We've got to get him into the Soviet zone immediately.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I thought you said we'd move him wednesday.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We can't wait.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
American intelligence is ordered the house to have.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
What's the matter with him?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
He's covered with blood.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh, I can explain that, Christopher. He he had a
little accident, if you want. He tripped over that table.
It was very dub Siller. I think he's asleep.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You stupid, blundering fool.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's dead. He must be mistaken, Christopher, her professor. You
killed him? No, no, I give you my word.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I told you not to touch it.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Shouldn't have done that, Christopher. But I forgive you. You
forgive me. What do you think Moscow will say about this?
You wouldn't report me, wouldn't die? Please, Christopher. I know
I've been a terrible disappointment to you, But if you
give me another chance, I may surprise you yet.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So, like I say in Time magazine, that came for
her professor Schuller at the ripe.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Old age of forty two.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But the first I knew of it was some second
hours later, when I received a call from the West
Berlin police. It fished a body out of the spree,
and they thought I might be interested. I was, And
I remember the promise I made to Margot Schiller, and
I thought if I couldn't return her husband, sound of
wind and limb, the least I could do.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
To show myself.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I figured to be a mighty poor substitute.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Oh, mister Waring, may I come in? Did you find him?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Where is he? You said the minute you did? You
bring him home?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I know.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
He isn't dead.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes he is.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I knew it. I knew it had to end this way. Oh,
why couldn't you leave us alone?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You don't understand.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I understand that my husband's dead. Isn't that enough?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And you feel very responsible?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I do. He was a scientist. You had no right
to involve him in cheap politics.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
This isn't cheap politics, missus Schiller, fighting people to whom
decency means nothing. Your husband's murder proves that he was
killed by common form agents.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Well, you promised me that you'd bring him back safe
and sound.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I know, but he was dead when I said that. Now,
this man who claimed to be my assistant.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What name did he use?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I don't remember?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Or what did he look like?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I can't remember that either.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I don't think you're trying.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Don't you want to see your husband's murderer venge?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It will be mister Waring. But I intend to take
care of it myself. And now, if you'll forgive me,
I think I would like to be alone for a while. Yes,
(12:38):
I would like very much to speak with Frau Margo Schular.
Please this is she.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Forgive me for disturbing you at a time like this
from Shuldar. But I have just read of the unfortunate
death of your husband. Formit me to extend my condolences.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
But who is this? You do not know me, but
I feel I can be of some service.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Would you be intro still in knowing the man responsible
for the hair professor's murder?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
What? Please? Do not think me a crank. I'm really
well informed.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Your husband was kidnapped by a little man named maxel Oppenheimer.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
How do you know that?
Speaker 9 (13:15):
Are you convinced I'm not a crank?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
The murder was ordered by an American named Vincent Christopher.
Vincent Christopher, Yes, And from what I've heard of your
affection for your husband, I am sure you will put
this information to excellent use.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Good hunting Fauschiller.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Operator operator you order please?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I gave my order twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is mister Christopher sweet fore asked you to get
me grenned deer for one three. I wish to speak
to Maxil Oppenheimer.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
I'm sorry, mister Christopher, but that number does not answer.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
That's impossible. Try it again.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Shall I bring you back? No, I'll hang on.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Is that you, Gabrielle? Where have you been?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
I told you, I told you Christopher's there's something wrong you.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Christopher Lomsa shall learn?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know this is getting to be ridiculous. Mister Ware.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm sorry, but it can't be helped. Can you spend
me a couple of minutes?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
What's the point I've already told you everything I know.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, maybe this time I can tell you something.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
All right? Come in, sit down?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Did you ever hear of a man named Vincent Christopher?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Should I?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I hope not?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hen was shot to death an hour ago at the
cause of Wilhelm, and going through his room, the police
found these papers.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Would you care to look at them?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Not particularly, but.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I definitely established at Christopher was a number one man
in the communist apparatus.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
In West Berlin.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So so there's no doubt he was responsible for your
husband's kidnapping, if not his death.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I see your point, and now, with mister Christopher's murder,
I become the most obvious suspect. Yes, but this all
assumes that I knew who Christopher was.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Someone might have tipped you off, who for example. That's
what I intend to find out.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
I wish you.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Luck, but there's one thing that puzzles me. Just what
side are you on? According to you, Christopher was a Communist.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That doesn't justify as murder. That's one of the differences
between the Reds and ourselves.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
So you intend to find his killer?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yes, I do, well.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Far be it for me to keep you from your
self appointed task. Good day, mister Waring. I hope never
to hear from you again. Who is it? Who is it?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Gabrielle?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
What are you doing here? Maxill?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I just heard about poor Christopher and natually I came immediately.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
That was very foolish.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
He was my friend. I wouldn't hear right if I
failed to pay my respects to his widow. I'm sure
he would have been happy to do as much for me.
Would you happen to have a.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Cigarette and find some of that container.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Ah, Christopher's have that band. He was so fond of them.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
You had better leave Maxwell. The police were here all afternoon.
Let me return. But I have nothing to hide. I
wonder if you can say as much.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Well.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I have a feeling you are not overly fond of
your husband.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You are insane.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Please don't misunderstand me, Gabrielle. I don't blame you in
the least. Vincent was very difficult. I remember one night
at the theater when he struck you for forget the tickets.
My heart went out to you.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Doncush.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
It's true. I'm very fond of you, Gabriel. I feel
I owe you a great deal. You might just as
easily have told Varrceilla I was responsible for her husband's death.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
The idea friend of mine operates the switchboard in the
hotel here. I'm afraid she was guilty of eve stopping. Yes,
she heard you telephone far Schiller. If that's all you
have to say, oh no, I have lots more. Well,
I'm not interested in hearing it. I wish you wouldn't
take that attitude, Gabriel. We should be kind to one
another as Christopher's rido. You have so much and I
(17:44):
have so little?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Are you attempting to blackmail me?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
It isn't as I wanted a great deal. Fifty thousand
marks would suit me. Fine, get out. I think I'm
being very reasonable.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I said, get up.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You know it's a funny thing. But your husband did
that to me. Then the poor fellow was killed. I
do hope you will have better luck. Alvida san leipsh.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Intelligence Major Thornhillstigan.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Would it be possible for me to talk with Sir
Michael Wearing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I don't see why not? Hey, Mike, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
For you?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
He didn't say hello, hair Wearing?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
That's right?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I don't believe my name would mean anything to you.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Try me or not, you wouldn't be maxel Oppenheimer.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Maxel Oppenheimer, I never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You don't know what you're missing. I've just been going
through Vincent Christopher's diary. He thought very highly of your talents.
He liked me, but everybody does. Did you kill him?
Of course, go into Christopher?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He was mistake. That's a bad me.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Jim, Yeah, and that comrade Maxwell in the wire trying
to run it down?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Will do?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I hope you're not being so childish as to attempt.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To trace this number. Once ended my mind, there's a
call on extent right? What can I do for your Maxillon?
I would like to do something for you? Why it's
my nature?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Would you be interested in the name of the party
who informed Margot Schiller was that Christopher was responsible for her?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Definitely it was Christopher's wife. You're crazy? Why should you
do that? Can you think of a better way to
get rid of an unwanted might have a point there.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
If I've been a venue service, I'm delighted. Hello Maxell,
Maxel you hang up?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, were able to run it down?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, that's tough. Well, if anyone else.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Calls, tell him I've gone over to see Frau Christopher.
I hate to stick my neck up and I'll lay
you six to five. This is in the bag.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Yes, Frau Christopher, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Glad to know you. I'm Mike wearing Nike wearing.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yes, I'm investigating your husband's murder for the American authorities.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Oh won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Please make yourself comfortable.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I don't mind if I do then I don't feel
like doing well being irish. I'll take some jamisons.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
If you have it, I have it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You feel up to answering a few questions?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Thanks? Were you aware of.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Her Christopher's political activities?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Political activities?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
He was a writer?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, I was just a blind Actually he was head
man in the communistell in West Berlin.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Seems incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He didn't confide much in you did him?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
No? Tell me something her early.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
If Vincent was, as you say, a communist, he was,
then he was your enemy.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Why are you so determined to salve his murder?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, I know it sounds ironic, but that's how we
do things in a democracy. Anyway, I've got a picture
of a theory i'd like.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
To try on you for size.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well, I suppose someone who hated your husband figured Professor
Shuiller's death was a heaven sent opportunity. I do not
see how well all this party would have to do
is inform Margot Schiller that your husband was responsible for
her husband's death.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
But who would do such a horrible thing?
Speaker 11 (21:53):
What's your guess, Maxer Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It certainly is a small world.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
You thought of him too, No, Maxwell thought of you,
I don't not understand. I'm sure you're doing whom You
were the one who tipped off Margot Schillern, but you
couldn't depend on her to do anything about it. So,
as the saying goes, you took matters into your own hands.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
You think I killed Vincent?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Well, I didn't think it was that funny, but it is.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
However, I would not tell it to the brilliant police.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh why not?
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Well, at four o'clock when Vincent was shot, I was
at the Chancellory being interviewed by an officer named Hans Gerhart.
I wish to renew my driver's permit. But if you
were at the chancellory, obviously I could not be here
at the hotel murdering my husband. Still, it was the
most ingenious theory, her wearing drop by again, if you
(22:48):
ever think of another.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So, for nine hundred and ninety ninth time, I learned
what it means to fall flat on your face. And
after Gabrielle Christopher pulled a rug from under me, I
picked myself up and took a stroll on unted Den Lindenen.
When I didn't find inspiration there, I made for the
nearest phone booth and dialed American Intelligence unlike Shakespeare, and
I hope there was something in.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
A name Intelligence.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Major Tonio speaking, Oh THORNI is wearing, Well the devil
have you've been out communing with nature?
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Well, hustle back.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Here as fast as you can. We just picked up
Max Lappenheimer. Wonderful, Not so wonderful. He refuses to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Maybe he needs lessons. Suppose we confront him with Margo Schillan,
if she identifies him as the man who kidnapped her husband, that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Might do the trick. Say it might at that?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, we'll keep your fingers crossed. Soldim, I'll make it
as fast as I can.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Let's see, if I understand you, mister Wearing, you think
if I had identify this Max O. Oppenheimer, it might
induce him to confess it might Well, you don't seem
too confident.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Well I was originally, but now I'm beset by doubts.
I can see Max'll admitting to your husband's.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Murder, but not to Christopher's. Why not for the obvious
reason he didn't do it?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
But then who did?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, that's the question of the hour. You know we
discovered who tipped you off? That Christopher was a man
responsible for your husband's kidnapping?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Who his wife, Gabrielle, Well, that doesn't make sense, sure does.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
She wanted to get rid of him, and she figured
if you knew his name, you'd take care of.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It for him.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
But she must be insane.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, As a matter of fact, she's pretty clever, because
that's exactly what did happen.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I you suggested, Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Why didn't you let her do her own dirty work? Margoon?
That wad would have been easier on all of us.
All right, Angel, let's go.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, they just called for Paris Express passengers.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Mike, I guess it means me major. Yeah, I guess
it does.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I bet you're happy to see me go.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, I would have been happy if you never stopped
buying the first place. Did you have to nail Margo
Schiller for Christopher's murder?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It was my job to him. Why couldn't it have
been one of the others. I wish it had been too,
but that's life for him.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Every once in a while, the only decent actor in
the cast has to be it's believe me, I'm as
sorry as you are that this was one of them.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So long Ajim
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Virginia. I'm
glad you called.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now you have to cancel me out tonight, Angel Army
Intelligence is flying me to Berlin. Yeah, it seems some
boy there set up a murder that's pretty as a
picture and they figure out look good in the frame.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere,
those hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their
lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now
when the Falcon solves the case of the Careless corpse.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
There's one nice thing you can say about working for
Army Intelligence.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You certainly get around.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
How else would a guy like me get to see
such wonderful places like Berlin and meet such interesting people
like Maxel Oppenheimer. And just in case you're curious, Maxel
was a cute looking character and a tight fitting green
suit and the gray gloves, surveying the crowd at the Europa,
a sidewalk cafe near the Willemstausser. So look at him,
you think he didn't have a care.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
In the world, and you'd be right. Maxwell. Lets the
next man do the worrying.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I help Christopher imagine finding you here. No, late Maxwell,
I could not help myself. I received your message at
five o'clock.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
No, learn, Schnoebel told me, I spoke to you at noon.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I never can hide things from you, can I, Christopher.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Sterm Mack Schnoebel, tell you about your Assergnant.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He started to, but I prefer to get my instructions
first hand. This way there's no chance for a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
An American intelligence officer named Michael Waring arrives from Madrid
this evening. He has an appointment tomorrow morning with Professor
Heinrich Schiller's the expert on rocking. Yes, would be in
the best interests of the Communist Party.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
If that appointment I never.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Kept, I think it can be arranged. Where does the
hair profess live?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
At fourteen Lepostrausser with his wife Margot.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Margot, she's an American. What an amazing coincidence here, Professor
Schiller a German. He is married to an American, and you,
an American, are married to a Cherman.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Suppose we leave my personal life out of this. Yes,
of course you are to introduce yourself to Schiller as
an agent of American intelligence.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You find all the necessary credentials in this wallet. Tell
him Waring sent you around to pick him up?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Where would you like to have him delivered to.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
The bakery and life six strasser.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I try to make arrangements to smuggle him into East
Berlin and Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And I'll be only too happy to look after him
till then.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't want to hurt Maxell.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Why Christopher'd never once entered my mind?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mean it, Professor Schiller can be very useful to
the party.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I wouldn't touch a hair on his head unless, of course,
it was absolutely necessary.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I'm warning you, Maxel.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It only meant I would resort to violence purely as
a last resort. You and I'm always ready to sacrifice
my desires for the party. I hope the her professor
will be as cooperative. Yes, excuse me, but I would
(03:27):
like very much to see her profairsa Haina Schila.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Of course, I'm frauchle. Won't you come in?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I don't get You're very kind?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Whom shall I say? Is calling?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Permit me?
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Naxel Oppenheimer United States Army Intelligence? What do you want
with my husband?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And naturally we are very interested in his experiments with archids.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Naturally, but when he was in a concentration camp, who cared?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
You say that with a great deal of bitterness.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Why can't you leave us alone? Everybody wants to use him,
that is now you people and the communists.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
So Sheila, has he suffered enough?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Why don't you stop bothering him?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm sure the hair professor does not feel this way.
If I could have a word.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
With him, he is not home.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's very strange. I spoke to Manse tailor for not.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
More than a yes.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Is there someone to see me now, my hair professor?
Shall I believe?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I'm Actuel Oppenheimer. Your lovely wife told me you were out.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Why Margot, Because they're all the same, They're all trying
to use you. I just want to pick your brains and.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Oh please lips? And what will our guests think? I
don't care what he thinks. I must apologize for my
wife hair Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But ever since I.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Was released from Dahow, she's most concerned for me. It's
very understandable. Real hair wearing is waiting for us. Shall
we go?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Of course?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
No? No, I won't let you. You're going to stay
out of this, Heinrich. This is none of your concerned
now lips.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You are upsetting yourself.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I want you if you go with him, don't expect
to find me here when you come back.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
You are talking you like a trial.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I mean it. You'll never see me again, never, All right, Hair.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Oppenheimer, if you are ready by what means? Oh? I
(05:27):
believe this is the one. Yes, And if you'll wait
to light on anzelides, Ah, there we are. It'd be
so good as to enter.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I know it isn't much, but please try to make
yourself comfortable. I find this very strange, Hair Oppenheimer. You
don't like my room? Professor? Well it it is hardly
what I expected. You means a bag in front? Yes,
we think it's very domatic. Who would ever suspect such
(06:05):
a politarian establishment? But where is Hair? Wearding here wearing
the gentleman I was supposed to me? Oh, yes, he'll
be here in a few minutes. In the meantime, perhaps
a little snaps. No, thank you, Heir Oppenheimer. My friends
call me Maxwell. May I see your credit and roots?
(06:29):
Isn't this rather late? May I see them?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Suppose they do not meet with your approval? That would
complicate matters if hair wedding arrives you just the tap, Professor,
you're not thinking of leaving? Yes, if I've offended you
in any way.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Will you be good enough to open this door?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I wish you didn't feel like this, because you'll leave
me no choice.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Put away that gun.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Does not write you, no, not even a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Are you going to open this door?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You know, Professor, I admire a man of spirit. They
offer challenge. I can never resist. Never. How do you feel, Professor?
I'm so sorry. I guess it proves there must be
something to feminine intuition. Remember your wife said if you
(07:28):
left with me, you'd never see her again. Well she
was absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Scond.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Hello, I'm looking for my wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well you picked the best possible place. Come in.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Thank you? Is he angry with me?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
He's who angry with you?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
My husband? He should have known. I never meant what
I said.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You mind if we take us from the top of
the page. I'm a little confused.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm Margot Schiller.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Margot shut wait a minute, you're not Professor Heinrich Schiller's wife.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yes, well, what do you know? Down?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I knew he was married, but I assumed it was
to a.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
German, didn't you, assistant? Tell you, my assistant.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
The little man you sent to pick up Heinwich, the
one in the green suit? When was this you did
send someone?
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Look, missus Shiller, well didn't you No? I just got
into Berlin an hour ago.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
He used your name.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I must have been a leak.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You've hidden him somewhere no better? But then what happened
to him?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
He was supposed to meet you, not till tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
He was kidnaped.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, I'm afraid. So now this man who came from
kill No, they won't, they wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Dare Why are you going to stop them? Oh? Why
couldn't you leave us alone?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Look, missus Schiller, I know you're upset. Let me take
your home, please, and I promise you we'll get your
husband back.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You promise me.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, I know how you feel, but give us a chance. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Now, let me drive you home. I'll get to work
on it right away.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Anybody, who is it just a moment?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Hello, Christopher, let me see huh.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
P us a shower?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh? He in the bedroom. It's all right, But of
course we spent a very enjoyable evening.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
We've got to get him into the Soviet zone immediately.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I thought you said we'd move him wednesday.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We can't wait.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
American intelligence is ordered the house to have.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
What's the matter with him?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
He's covered with blood.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh, I can explain that, Christopher. He he had a
little accident, if you want. He tripped over that table.
It was very dub Siller. I think he's asleep.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You stupid, blundering fool.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's dead. He must be mistaken, Christopher, her professor. You
killed him? No, no, I give you my word.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I told you not to touch it.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Shouldn't have done that, Christopher. But I forgive you. You
forgive me. What do you think Moscow will say about this?
You wouldn't report me, wouldn't die? Please, Christopher. I know
I've been a terrible disappointment to you, But if you
give me another chance, I may surprise you yet.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So, like I say in Time magazine, that came for
her professor Schuller at the ripe.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Old age of forty two.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But the first I knew of it was some second
hours later, when I received a call from the West
Berlin police. It fished a body out of the spree,
and they thought I might be interested. I was, And
I remember the promise I made to Margot Schiller, and
I thought if I couldn't return her husband, sound of
wind and limb, the least I could do.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
To show myself.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I figured to be a mighty poor substitute.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Oh, mister Waring, may I come in? Did you find him?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Where is he? You said the minute you did? You
bring him home?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I know.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
He isn't dead.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes he is.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I knew it. I knew it had to end this way. Oh,
why couldn't you leave us alone?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You don't understand.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I understand that my husband's dead. Isn't that enough?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And you feel very responsible?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I do. He was a scientist. You had no right
to involve him in cheap politics.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
This isn't cheap politics, missus Schiller, fighting people to whom
decency means nothing. Your husband's murder proves that he was
killed by common form agents.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Well, you promised me that you'd bring him back safe
and sound.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I know, but he was dead when I said that. Now,
this man who claimed to be my assistant.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What name did he use?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I don't remember?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Or what did he look like?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I can't remember that either.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I don't think you're trying.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Don't you want to see your husband's murderer venge?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It will be mister Waring. But I intend to take
care of it myself. And now, if you'll forgive me,
I think I would like to be alone for a while. Yes,
(12:38):
I would like very much to speak with Frau Margo Schular.
Please this is she.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Forgive me for disturbing you at a time like this
from Shuldar. But I have just read of the unfortunate
death of your husband. Formit me to extend my condolences.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
But who is this? You do not know me, but
I feel I can be of some service.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Would you be intro still in knowing the man responsible
for the hair professor's murder?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
What? Please? Do not think me a crank. I'm really
well informed.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Your husband was kidnapped by a little man named maxel Oppenheimer.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
How do you know that?
Speaker 9 (13:15):
Are you convinced I'm not a crank?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
The murder was ordered by an American named Vincent Christopher.
Vincent Christopher, Yes, And from what I've heard of your
affection for your husband, I am sure you will put
this information to excellent use.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Good hunting Fauschiller.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Operator operator you order please?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I gave my order twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is mister Christopher sweet fore asked you to get
me grenned deer for one three. I wish to speak
to Maxil Oppenheimer.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
I'm sorry, mister Christopher, but that number does not answer.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
That's impossible. Try it again.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Shall I bring you back? No, I'll hang on.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Is that you, Gabrielle? Where have you been?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
I told you, I told you Christopher's there's something wrong you.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Christopher Lomsa shall learn?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know this is getting to be ridiculous. Mister Ware.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm sorry, but it can't be helped. Can you spend
me a couple of minutes?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
What's the point I've already told you everything I know.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, maybe this time I can tell you something.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
All right? Come in, sit down?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Did you ever hear of a man named Vincent Christopher?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Should I?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I hope not?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hen was shot to death an hour ago at the
cause of Wilhelm, and going through his room, the police
found these papers.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Would you care to look at them?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Not particularly, but.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I definitely established at Christopher was a number one man
in the communist apparatus.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
In West Berlin.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So so there's no doubt he was responsible for your
husband's kidnapping, if not his death.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I see your point, and now, with mister Christopher's murder,
I become the most obvious suspect. Yes, but this all
assumes that I knew who Christopher was.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Someone might have tipped you off, who for example. That's
what I intend to find out.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
I wish you.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Luck, but there's one thing that puzzles me. Just what
side are you on? According to you, Christopher was a Communist.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That doesn't justify as murder. That's one of the differences
between the Reds and ourselves.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
So you intend to find his killer?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yes, I do, well.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Far be it for me to keep you from your
self appointed task. Good day, mister Waring. I hope never
to hear from you again. Who is it? Who is it?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Gabrielle?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
What are you doing here? Maxill?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I just heard about poor Christopher and natually I came immediately.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
That was very foolish.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
He was my friend. I wouldn't hear right if I
failed to pay my respects to his widow. I'm sure
he would have been happy to do as much for me.
Would you happen to have a.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Cigarette and find some of that container.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Ah, Christopher's have that band. He was so fond of them.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
You had better leave Maxwell. The police were here all afternoon.
Let me return. But I have nothing to hide. I
wonder if you can say as much.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Well.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I have a feeling you are not overly fond of
your husband.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You are insane.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Please don't misunderstand me, Gabrielle. I don't blame you in
the least. Vincent was very difficult. I remember one night
at the theater when he struck you for forget the tickets.
My heart went out to you.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Doncush.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
It's true. I'm very fond of you, Gabriel. I feel
I owe you a great deal. You might just as
easily have told Varrceilla I was responsible for her husband's death.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
The idea friend of mine operates the switchboard in the
hotel here. I'm afraid she was guilty of eve stopping. Yes,
she heard you telephone far Schiller. If that's all you
have to say, oh no, I have lots more. Well,
I'm not interested in hearing it. I wish you wouldn't
take that attitude, Gabriel. We should be kind to one
another as Christopher's rido. You have so much and I
(17:44):
have so little?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Are you attempting to blackmail me?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
It isn't as I wanted a great deal. Fifty thousand
marks would suit me. Fine, get out. I think I'm
being very reasonable.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I said, get up.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You know it's a funny thing. But your husband did
that to me. Then the poor fellow was killed. I
do hope you will have better luck. Alvida san leipsh.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Intelligence Major Thornhillstigan.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Would it be possible for me to talk with Sir
Michael Wearing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I don't see why not? Hey, Mike, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
For you?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
He didn't say hello, hair Wearing?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
That's right?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I don't believe my name would mean anything to you.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Try me or not, you wouldn't be maxel Oppenheimer.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Maxel Oppenheimer, I never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You don't know what you're missing. I've just been going
through Vincent Christopher's diary. He thought very highly of your talents.
He liked me, but everybody does. Did you kill him?
Of course, go into Christopher?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He was mistake. That's a bad me.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Jim, Yeah, and that comrade Maxwell in the wire trying
to run it down?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Will do?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I hope you're not being so childish as to attempt.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To trace this number. Once ended my mind, there's a
call on extent right? What can I do for your Maxillon?
I would like to do something for you? Why it's
my nature?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Would you be interested in the name of the party
who informed Margot Schiller was that Christopher was responsible for her?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Definitely it was Christopher's wife. You're crazy? Why should you
do that? Can you think of a better way to
get rid of an unwanted might have a point there.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
If I've been a venue service, I'm delighted. Hello Maxell,
Maxel you hang up?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, were able to run it down?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, that's tough. Well, if anyone else.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Calls, tell him I've gone over to see Frau Christopher.
I hate to stick my neck up and I'll lay
you six to five. This is in the bag.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Yes, Frau Christopher, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Glad to know you. I'm Mike wearing Nike wearing.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yes, I'm investigating your husband's murder for the American authorities.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Oh won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Please make yourself comfortable.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I don't mind if I do then I don't feel
like doing well being irish. I'll take some jamisons.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
If you have it, I have it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You feel up to answering a few questions?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Thanks? Were you aware of.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Her Christopher's political activities?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Political activities?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
He was a writer?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, I was just a blind Actually he was head
man in the communistell in West Berlin.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Seems incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He didn't confide much in you did him?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
No? Tell me something her early.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
If Vincent was, as you say, a communist, he was,
then he was your enemy.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Why are you so determined to salve his murder?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, I know it sounds ironic, but that's how we
do things in a democracy. Anyway, I've got a picture
of a theory i'd like.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
To try on you for size.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well, I suppose someone who hated your husband figured Professor
Shuiller's death was a heaven sent opportunity. I do not
see how well all this party would have to do
is inform Margot Schiller that your husband was responsible for
her husband's death.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
But who would do such a horrible thing?
Speaker 11 (21:53):
What's your guess, Maxer Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It certainly is a small world.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
You thought of him too, No, Maxwell thought of you,
I don't not understand. I'm sure you're doing whom You
were the one who tipped off Margot Schillern, but you
couldn't depend on her to do anything about it. So,
as the saying goes, you took matters into your own hands.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
You think I killed Vincent?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Well, I didn't think it was that funny, but it is.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
However, I would not tell it to the brilliant police.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh why not?
Speaker 11 (22:26):
Well, at four o'clock when Vincent was shot, I was
at the Chancellory being interviewed by an officer named Hans Gerhart.
I wish to renew my driver's permit. But if you
were at the chancellory, obviously I could not be here
at the hotel murdering my husband. Still, it was the
most ingenious theory, her wearing drop by again, if you
(22:48):
ever think of another.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So, for nine hundred and ninety ninth time, I learned
what it means to fall flat on your face. And
after Gabrielle Christopher pulled a rug from under me, I
picked myself up and took a stroll on unted Den Lindenen.
When I didn't find inspiration there, I made for the
nearest phone booth and dialed American Intelligence unlike Shakespeare, and
I hope there was something in.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
A name Intelligence.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Major Tonio speaking, Oh THORNI is wearing, Well the devil
have you've been out communing with nature?
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Well, hustle back.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Here as fast as you can. We just picked up
Max Lappenheimer. Wonderful, Not so wonderful. He refuses to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Maybe he needs lessons. Suppose we confront him with Margo Schillan,
if she identifies him as the man who kidnapped her husband, that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Might do the trick. Say it might at that?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, we'll keep your fingers crossed. Soldim, I'll make it
as fast as I can.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Let's see, if I understand you, mister Wearing, you think
if I had identify this Max O. Oppenheimer, it might
induce him to confess it might Well, you don't seem
too confident.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Well I was originally, but now I'm beset by doubts.
I can see Max'll admitting to your husband's.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Murder, but not to Christopher's. Why not for the obvious
reason he didn't do it?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
But then who did?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, that's the question of the hour. You know we
discovered who tipped you off? That Christopher was a man
responsible for your husband's kidnapping?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Who his wife, Gabrielle, Well, that doesn't make sense, sure does.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
She wanted to get rid of him, and she figured
if you knew his name, you'd take care of.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It for him.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
But she must be insane.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, As a matter of fact, she's pretty clever, because
that's exactly what did happen.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I you suggested, Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Why didn't you let her do her own dirty work? Margoon?
That wad would have been easier on all of us.
All right, Angel, let's go.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, they just called for Paris Express passengers.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Mike, I guess it means me major. Yeah, I guess
it does.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I bet you're happy to see me go.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, I would have been happy if you never stopped
buying the first place. Did you have to nail Margo
Schiller for Christopher's murder?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It was my job to him. Why couldn't it have
been one of the others. I wish it had been too,
but that's life for him.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Every once in a while, the only decent actor in
the cast has to be it's believe me, I'm as
sorry as you are that this was one of them.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So long Ajim
