worked for an output named Lester Pharmaceuticals. So I let
the blind less goes up to his ears and narcotics.

What's the matter? I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I say, well, I'll tell you. I uh, I
think maybe we both acted a little hasty this afternoon.
You didn't mean what you sent neither to die. But
that kid Jolly Willow bothered me. Yeah, it bothered me too.
You know your trouble room. I know you're too sensitive.
You mustn't let a little thing like that get I
(08:21):
mean you're skinny. You also, i'd be reasonable back to
work for me and I'll sweep me at it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I tell you two fifty a week and to be
a bonus at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
If you think I touch that money, well.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
If you object to pushing the stuff to get it,
I'd just like to have you round.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I'm not that pretty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Beauty is only skin deep. I like your man with
garat Are you gonna get out? Okay? I see where
I made my mistake. Either kind who won't touch gold?
But I'll bet you'll take leading the way that cun less.
What are you complaining about? You won't have to worry
about that bad leg when they give you a set
(08:58):
of wings. Happy landing, kiddo. Just a second. I am
(09:20):
my chargeant Corbett. I I heard you a lot of time,
not anymore. Oh, come in? Does the uh invitation include me?
You have to bring him along? Yeah, Reynolds is an
associate of mine, remember, and he just told me a
very interesting story things you called him this afternoon about
and now Romano? Well or was that before or after
(09:44):
he was killed? One? You heard me? Well, it's impossible.
I just saw at a couple of hours ago, and
it was after he was not garn at two o'clock.
I can't believe it. Woll I would we'd like to
accompany us to the mare who did it? That's what
we'd like to know. If you talked to Vic Lester
who he's a real smooth type. Look, fuck he bays
in Lennel and plus I was working for him. Oh
(10:05):
so he thinks it's lest the characters mixed up in narcotics.
He was, I'll take it easy. What did Romano see
you about? He wanted me to find his wife he
walk out on him? Yes? Did he have any insurance?
None that I know of he was in the army,
wasn't he so? So he must have been covered. Well,
even if he was, it's only but ten thousand, only
ten thousand. I suppose I was pen money to the Romano.
(10:25):
No you're not, is he? But you don't believe him? Well,
he got it, Admit he makes sense after all, Romano. His
wife disappears, Well, she'll turn up you giving odds? What
are you gonna do about Lester? We'll get to him,
take care of it, Reynolds. Why can't you. I'm gonna
concentrate on missus Romano. I'll forget it. I'll tell you
Lester's our man. Well, then I'll leave him to you
and Reynolds, and if you guys can't handle him, we'll
(10:49):
get the girl scouts. Every day last year, on the highways,
an average of one hundred three Americans like yourself or
those in your family were killed in automobile accidents. But
a lot of highway deaths don't seem to bother us
(11:11):
much unless someone in our own family is killed. We
are shocked, however, and do become excited when an occasional
disaster or catastrophe strikes and claims a large toll of life.
Why if a tornado over which man has no control
strikes several states and kills one hundred or two hundred people,
is that disaster any worse than one hundred or two
(11:31):
hundred Americans being killed in a single day in automobile accidents.
The daily toll of one hundred three deaths to day
in traffic accidents is America's greatest shame. You can do
your part in helping to fight this disaster on the
highways by being a safer driver and by working in
your community for strict law enforcement. That means safer traveling
(11:51):
for all of us. At all times, you must remember
to drive as though your life depends on it. It does.
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. An hour
has passed since Sargeant Corbett and Detective Bill Reynolds informed
(12:14):
Mike of the murder of al Romano. Now the office
of Lester Pharmaceutic. Yeah, hello, Lesson, Well it ain't that
high flying bird the Falcon. See I got here before,
Bill Reynolds to see a coup friend of yours. No,
he isn't a nice place you've got here, Lgon. I
(12:34):
think it's lovely. What's back there just another office, and
I see it's another painting in there now. But I'll
be real careful. Oh, I wouldn't hear of it might
ruin your clothes. What's a nice suit you're wearing. I
guess this business pays all better than making books. It does,
But made you decide to switch? Well, I'll tell you.
I read some where that people are always sick, So
I thinkured this might be a good racket.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Would you believe it?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If I know?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I'm just gonna tell you how much borick acid we handle. Hum.
It's a new name for I didn't know about a
Romano's death. You mean something happened now, Yes, suddenly and violently.
So he did it, after all? What are you battling about? Well,
I don't know how close you were, real close. He
was my friend, and you know he used to get
these fits of depression about that game leg he is,
(13:18):
What are you trying to hand me? We didn't get
me into us.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Sign with two slugs in him?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh, I didn't know that. I haven't seen a paper
all day. Hey, do you think it could have been
his wife? I said they were having trouble and I
heard he had trouble with you. I hate to have
fet your appletot wearing, but I've got an alibi. And
oh sure I hear it. Tell me something. You're a
private day, can't you? That's right? And copped uh city employees.
So so when you pass your civil service exam, asked
(13:45):
me again, it's been nice seeing you fall. I'm sorry
you have to run. I tell you a cor butt.
This Lester is our boy. If I will get your
ten he killed Romano? I kind of doubt it, Mike,
(14:05):
after all, he got no proof. Well, if you only
talk to him, he doesn't have to I did, Oh,
come on in Reynolds, Well what's the story. I just
came from lessons and it's all on the if and
up went through the place where the fine tooth comb.
So there must have been a few teeth missing wots.
What about the Romano's murders. Got an alibi for the time.
I don't believe it. Whydney's still it to me. He
(14:27):
likes you, you know that's possible. I never mind that.
That's hands a dope at the tire Romano was killed.
Lester was at the Parah. No, how do you know?
I checked with the Nusher he remembered him put ninety
million people in the joint. He remembers Lester. Yes, Lester
had some trouble to check roam. He thought he left
his coat there. They founded later in the men's line,
that's rich. What's wrong with him? Everything? It's too pat
(14:47):
Are you nuts? Anyone who looked the least bit like
him could a pass muster? Then you think? I think
Leicester stage the entire bit. While he went over to
kill Romano. He had one of his friends make the
fuss at the theater. You don't know what you're talking about. Look, Reynolds,
I'm not here now, that's enough out of you too. Reynolds.
Suppose you check with hass go see if he's learned
anything about Romano's bike. Okay, sir, I wanna know as
(15:08):
soon as they find it, right of course, But you're
not buying that alibi. We'll have to unless you can
sell me something better. I tell you, Lester killed ol Romano.
He had motive, He had opportunity, voted missus Romano. Remember, hey,
wait a minute, think is something? Yes, Uh, Lester must
be part of a narcotic rink. Right, you heard what
(15:28):
Reynolds said, I don't care what he said. I tell
you he's a junk dealer and somewhere in the chain
that's bound to you, a weak link. You show me
where I was just it, I don't look. Wait a minute,
hold everything el told me by a boy named Joey Willow.
I suppose this Willow character talk really wouldn't do a
cop nobody might do someone else. I'm gonna give it
the old college try. Yeah, what can I do for you?
(16:01):
Joey Willull run?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, I think so. I saw him. But oh, there

got a boy and a gun. He will bear me out.
Come again. I just latched down to the weapon to
kill al Romano. And who do you think send it over?
Mister Vic Lester himself? Can you top that? Maybe I
can't suppose.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I told you that Lester was knocked.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Off an hour ago. He won. And since you two
didn't get along so well, maybe we ought to have
a little talk. Do you want to come over by yourself?
Or should I send a car? What do you and
(22:14):
your family do on a weekend? If your average Americans
on a Saturday or Sunday, you enjoy your car, you
take a short drive or a long trip. If you
use your automobile a lot on weekend, you have a
good idea. How many millions of cars pour out onto
the highways on weekend. That's one reason why the traffic
death toll is so high and why the utmost caution
is needed in weekend driving more than any other time.
(22:37):
Along with the good drivers, we see the speeders, the drinkers,
the reckless ones, the inexperienced drivers and those who won't
yield an in shot on the road. As a result,
deaths in weekend automobile accidents have increased sharply about two thousand,
six hundred annually. That is an average of fifty more
fatalities every weekend in nineteen fifty one than in nineteen
forty six. Injuries in Saturday and Sunday traffic accidents are
(22:59):
now two hundred thousand greater in a year on weekends. Particularly,
Remember the drive as though your life depends on it.
It does. Now back to the adventures of the Falcon
(23:22):
twenty minutes who passed since Mike received the general information
that Vic Lester was murdered, and now police headquarters we
find Sergeant Corbett killing him in on the detail here
as we can figure it, Lester was killed at seven o'clock.
Where were you at that time? Where? Now? Listen, Reynolds,
he's entitled to an answer. But you certainly don't think
I killed him. Where's my motive? You thought he knocked
out of palliers he did? Well? I am no, You're crazy,
(23:45):
it's all Leicster once met with enough away at seven
o'clock on my way home. That's a lay off. And
a lux I said, lay off, he didn't kill Leslie
and Hodre. Let's take it from the top of the page.
You better start, Well, we know for a fact that
Lester killed Romano. How do we know that for a fact?
By the gun I took off Joey Willow he admitted
(24:07):
Lester gave it to him, And the bullets match up
with the slug jury moved from Romano's body, and go on. Well,
when Leicester Fellow was getting too close for comfort, he
seemed Joey Willow into gunning me. Ah by that well,
even Granny, He's right, sad. Just still doesn't solve anything,
doesn't it. Now we got another murder on our hands.
If Blessed killed Romano, who killed Lester? What about Joey Willow?
(24:28):
I don't see it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Wearings is alibi, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He was waiting for me at my place. Now obviously
there's someone else we haven't thought of. Oh about missus Romano? Yeah,
that makes sense, not to me, it doesn't. Where's her motive? Well,
Lester killed her husband, I'll Corbett make up your mind. First,
you were looking for her because you felt Rude was
set up with ou. Now you claim she was so
mad in love with him, she wanted to avenge his murder.
You can't have it both ways. So where do we
(24:52):
go from here? We've looked high and low.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I know we looked low when we found Joey Willow.
We haven't looked high. I don't get it. You do,
don't you, Reynolds. I'm fraid I don't. A lesser never
could have stayed in business without some form of protection.
Doesn't it strike you strings that al Romano was killed
right after he agreed to talk to the police. Wouldn't
that be the natural time?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
But who knew his plan? His wife did, No, she didn't.
She only knew he was coming to see me. But
there was one person who Romano was going to implicate
less Oh you what? Right after I phoned Julie must
have called Lester and told him the worse? Yeah, crazy,
He told him he had to get rid of Romano
before you got there. You figured that would solve everything.
You don't blame, do you? Common? I wanna hear more
(25:37):
than after Romano's death, when I kept insisting Lester was
behind it. Reynolds told you how to get rid of
Lester for his own protection, lut sage. And you can
listen to Lesser if you want him. And I've got
to stay where you are. It is kind much, it
will be a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Hey, what I found?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
What do you make of this? Why the way I
make of what? His service revolver? It's been fired recently?
Let me see that up hardly. I bet the slug
that kill Lester came from this gun. I wouldn't be
at all surprised. Uh, do me a favor, my sure, sogon,
leave me and Reynolds alone for a while. I got
(26:18):
some departmental business. I don't want to take up with
him alone. I'm on more, but cheer up. I'mout stopping
(26:42):
somewhere for a thear. No, I don't feel like celebrating.
And I think what the public you'll make of this? Oh,
they'll understand. They know the thousands of decent things cop
do do every day of the year don't make news.
Only when a cop does something rock that makes headlines daily.
Was a cock. Reynolds wouldn't have been any different if
he was a fireman or a garbage collector or Guys
(27:02):
like him in every business in the world just can't
keep him out. Yeah, but they're the exception, not the rule.
Well everybody knows that. Incidentally, what did he tell you?
He was working with Lester for the past six months.
When he thought you were getting too close for comfort,
he decided to get rid of Lester so there'd be
no trail leading back to him. He can press all
that and more. He should have seen him. He couldn't
(27:25):
ask for a more cooperative witness. Mm and he was
practically crying for the stenographer to get it all down.
Well I can't see why. Oh wait a minute, what
happened when I left you two alone? Well this is
strictly between us. Oh sure, but I figured if Reynolds
could forget for six months, he was a cop, you
(27:46):
were entitled to get it to six minutes. Actually it
was closer to sixteen. Good night, Mike,
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Elsie, I'm
glad you called. I'll have to skip it tonight, angel
I got to play spoils for some boy I know
is looking for fun with a gun, and I want
to make sure he doesn't get a big bang out
of life. Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings He'll

of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard
hitting detectives who like Mike Werry, risk their lives to
aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now. When the
Falcon solves the case of the Weeping Willow, It's late
(00:58):
afternoon in New York and the nurvous young man named
Joey Willow races down the fourth floor carridor of the
Belmont Building. Or Joey is in a hurry. When he

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, it couldn't be any use.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What's your name? A Romano?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You work for less? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Maybe you can help me out.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I need a Joel Joel? Yeah, well what you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, look, you don't have to worry.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I wanna bless his old customers. Didn't he ever mention
a Joey Willow to you? No, well, I'm one of
the boys. Sorry, yeah, maybe this will convention.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
What are you rolling up your sleeve for? Yeah, you're satisfied.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Now let me you see that. I told you I

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Hold on, Sorry, what.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Do you mean you're sorry? You gotta give me one.
I'll take anything and see horse. Look, Joey, I tell

Please, you got me.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You don't know what it feels like.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, I've got an idea.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh I kidd it. Try to hold me up. Well,
how much do you watch.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Look, Joey, you don't understand.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh, you don't understand. I ran out last night. That's
why I called Joey Wester. Am I glad to see you?
I was just telling this.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
No, I heard you wait in.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
My office, but I need the shot right now if
you let it wait.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
In my office, you hope your lord just a couple
of minutes. Well, I'm I didn't say anything, no, but
you were thinking plenty? What a jump like? Man? I
was real stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I have to see what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And what is going on? What you get back in there?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
What you oh right?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
What are you gonna do about him?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Or what would you recommend?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That the boy's a dope at it?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You're a kidding.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
If you're not gonna get away.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
With this, who's gonna stop me?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Maybe me?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Listen, gimpie. You just manage to get by on one leg.
Now talk out of turning. You won't have a leg
to stand down. Just think it over now you'll see
I've got a point there. Who's that? It's only me, Ruthie?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
What are you doing? Hall?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I uh?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I quit my job?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Do what? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Glad to sit down?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Now let me get this straight. You walked out on Lester?
Why because I didn't like to work?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Why?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Now isn't that just ducky? And since when can a
crew a man with your handicap be particular in the
stand room?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You know what I was doing? I was a pusher?
What a pusher? Those packages I was delivering contained narcotics.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So I mean, so somebody's gotta do it. Why shouldn't
it be you?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Do you know what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Don't be a fool. Since when can you afford to
be fussy? Listen? If you saw this kid that came
into the office, it would have broken your heart.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You can't imagine what he was going through.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Did you ever stop to think what I'm going through?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
How do you think I feel being married or a
man who can't even support me?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I know, Nah, you don't. I get on that phone
and call Lester?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Then what do you intend to do?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I was thinking of getting in touch with Mike. Where
what for advice?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You want advice, I'll give it to you.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Call less an apologize I want.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's a dirty, rotten business.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It paid, the rank was blood money. The landlord took
it in me. I'm warning you. Well, you got a
weary way through.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I walked right out.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You wouldn't. No what Ruth come back.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
To her ruth story?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Mike tight. I tried to follow her, but with this
leg of mine, I know by the time he got outside,
she was gone. That's right. Well what about Lesson?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What about him? Said?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That's the report him of the authorities.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, you don't understand, Mike. If I open my yapp Ruth,
I'll never come back.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Do you think her return and will settle everything? Yes? No,
you're wrong. I know it's easy enough for me to talk.
He did your duty once before, and it cross your
leg he was working. Uh, this is the same thing
over again on a smaller scale. Man like Hitler poison
people's minds. That's the works on their body.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
We'll let someone else nail him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Uh, it's just it. We can't let other people do
our work. You're the only one who has the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
What about this Joey Willow kid who came in for
a shot.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now we can't depend on him. Now, what do you say?
You're gonna let me call the compet Okay, that's the boy.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
You are gonna try to find rupe.

he's all right, this guy eighty six praise Saint Reynolds.
This Corbett there? Oh, have you any idea when he'll
be in? Who wants you? Mike Wearing? Why? Lie? He's
off today? When will he be back? Who knows? Look, Reynolds,
(06:54):
this is official business.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's tough, and it looks like you'll have to deal
with me.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
All right. I got a friend named al Romano. He
worked for an output named Lester Pharmaceuticals. So I let
the blind less goes up to his ears and narcotics.
What have you been smoking? All right, don't be a goon.
This is on the level. Where's this a Romano now
at my place? Well, I tell him to go on home.
I'll drop five twenty minutes. Fair enough? What did he
(07:20):

I'll get my coach. What fo I'm going with you?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And I don't be silly. I don't need to nurse me.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, I still think I know what you think. But
I tell you it's all right, or will be as
soon as.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
You find rufie, I get to work out of having
a good point.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Who is it, holiez of enough for just a second?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Money inside?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What's the matter? I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I say, well, I'll tell you. I uh, I
think maybe we both acted a little hasty this afternoon.
You didn't mean what you sent neither to die. But
that kid Jolly Willow bothered me. Yeah, it bothered me too.
You know your trouble room. I know you're too sensitive.
You mustn't let a little thing like that get I
(08:21):
mean you're skinny. You also, i'd be reasonable back to
work for me and I'll sweep me at it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I tell you two fifty a week and to be
a bonus at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
If you think I touch that money, well.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
If you object to pushing the stuff to get it,
I'd just like to have you round.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I'm not that pretty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Beauty is only skin deep. I like your man with
garat Are you gonna get out? Okay? I see where
I made my mistake. Either kind who won't touch gold?
But I'll bet you'll take leading the way that cun less.
What are you complaining about? You won't have to worry
about that bad leg when they give you a set
(08:58):
of wings. Happy landing, kiddo. Just a second. I am
(09:20):
my chargeant Corbett. I I heard you a lot of time,
not anymore. Oh, come in? Does the uh invitation include me?
You have to bring him along? Yeah, Reynolds is an
associate of mine, remember, and he just told me a
very interesting story things you called him this afternoon about
and now Romano? Well or was that before or after
(09:44):
he was killed? One? You heard me? Well, it's impossible.
I just saw at a couple of hours ago, and
it was after he was not garn at two o'clock.
I can't believe it. Woll I would we'd like to
accompany us to the mare who did it? That's what
we'd like to know. If you talked to Vic Lester
who he's a real smooth type. Look, fuck he bays
in Lennel and plus I was working for him. Oh
(10:05):
so he thinks it's lest the characters mixed up in narcotics.
He was, I'll take it easy. What did Romano see
you about? He wanted me to find his wife he
walk out on him? Yes? Did he have any insurance?
None that I know of he was in the army,
wasn't he so? So he must have been covered. Well,
even if he was, it's only but ten thousand, only
ten thousand. I suppose I was pen money to the Romano.
(10:25):
No you're not, is he? But you don't believe him? Well,
he got it, Admit he makes sense after all, Romano. His
wife disappears, Well, she'll turn up you giving odds? What
are you gonna do about Lester? We'll get to him,
take care of it, Reynolds. Why can't you. I'm gonna
concentrate on missus Romano. I'll forget it. I'll tell you
Lester's our man. Well, then I'll leave him to you
and Reynolds, and if you guys can't handle him, we'll
(10:49):
get the girl scouts. Every day last year, on the highways,
an average of one hundred three Americans like yourself or
those in your family were killed in automobile accidents. But
a lot of highway deaths don't seem to bother us
(11:11):
much unless someone in our own family is killed. We
are shocked, however, and do become excited when an occasional
disaster or catastrophe strikes and claims a large toll of life.
Why if a tornado over which man has no control
strikes several states and kills one hundred or two hundred people,
is that disaster any worse than one hundred or two
(11:31):
hundred Americans being killed in a single day in automobile accidents.
The daily toll of one hundred three deaths to day
in traffic accidents is America's greatest shame. You can do
your part in helping to fight this disaster on the
highways by being a safer driver and by working in
your community for strict law enforcement. That means safer traveling
(11:51):
for all of us. At all times, you must remember
to drive as though your life depends on it. It does.
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. An hour
has passed since Sargeant Corbett and Detective Bill Reynolds informed
(12:14):
Mike of the murder of al Romano. Now the office
of Lester Pharmaceutic. Yeah, hello, Lesson, Well it ain't that
high flying bird the Falcon. See I got here before,
Bill Reynolds to see a coup friend of yours. No,
he isn't a nice place you've got here, Lgon. I
(12:34):
think it's lovely. What's back there just another office, and
I see it's another painting in there now. But I'll
be real careful. Oh, I wouldn't hear of it might
ruin your clothes. What's a nice suit you're wearing. I
guess this business pays all better than making books. It does,
But made you decide to switch? Well, I'll tell you.
I read some where that people are always sick, So
I thinkured this might be a good racket.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Would you believe it?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If I know?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I'm just gonna tell you how much borick acid we handle. Hum.
It's a new name for I didn't know about a
Romano's death. You mean something happened now, Yes, suddenly and violently.
So he did it, after all? What are you battling about? Well,
I don't know how close you were, real close. He
was my friend, and you know he used to get
these fits of depression about that game leg he is,
(13:18):
What are you trying to hand me? We didn't get
me into us.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Sign with two slugs in him?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh, I didn't know that. I haven't seen a paper
all day. Hey, do you think it could have been
his wife? I said they were having trouble and I
heard he had trouble with you. I hate to have
fet your appletot wearing, but I've got an alibi. And
oh sure I hear it. Tell me something. You're a
private day, can't you? That's right? And copped uh city employees.
So so when you pass your civil service exam, asked
(13:45):
me again, it's been nice seeing you fall. I'm sorry
you have to run. I tell you a cor butt.
This Lester is our boy. If I will get your
ten he killed Romano? I kind of doubt it, Mike,
(14:05):
after all, he got no proof. Well, if you only
talk to him, he doesn't have to I did, Oh,
come on in Reynolds, Well what's the story. I just
came from lessons and it's all on the if and
up went through the place where the fine tooth comb.
So there must have been a few teeth missing wots.
What about the Romano's murders. Got an alibi for the time.
I don't believe it. Whydney's still it to me. He
(14:27):
likes you, you know that's possible. I never mind that.
That's hands a dope at the tire Romano was killed.
Lester was at the Parah. No, how do you know?
I checked with the Nusher he remembered him put ninety
million people in the joint. He remembers Lester. Yes, Lester
had some trouble to check roam. He thought he left
his coat there. They founded later in the men's line,
that's rich. What's wrong with him? Everything? It's too pat
(14:47):
Are you nuts? Anyone who looked the least bit like
him could a pass muster? Then you think? I think
Leicester stage the entire bit. While he went over to
kill Romano. He had one of his friends make the
fuss at the theater. You don't know what you're talking about. Look, Reynolds,
I'm not here now, that's enough out of you too. Reynolds.
Suppose you check with hass go see if he's learned
anything about Romano's bike. Okay, sir, I wanna know as
(15:08):
soon as they find it, right of course, But you're
not buying that alibi. We'll have to unless you can
sell me something better. I tell you, Lester killed ol Romano.
He had motive, He had opportunity, voted missus Romano. Remember, hey,
wait a minute, think is something? Yes, Uh, Lester must
be part of a narcotic rink. Right, you heard what
(15:28):
Reynolds said, I don't care what he said. I tell
you he's a junk dealer and somewhere in the chain
that's bound to you, a weak link. You show me
where I was just it, I don't look. Wait a minute,
hold everything el told me by a boy named Joey Willow.
I suppose this Willow character talk really wouldn't do a
cop nobody might do someone else. I'm gonna give it
the old college try. Yeah, what can I do for you?
(16:01):
Joey Willull run?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, I think so. I saw him. But oh, there
he is.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hey, hey, Joey. Yeah, it's a folly.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I want to see it.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Huh you're looking for me? Yeah, yeah, for Joey Willem.
Oh you Mike, my buddy of Vick Leicester.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh you're working for this?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Who else that's coming back? Okay, you're sure he won't
be just doing positive me in the boss like this.
Wait til I turn on the light.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Thatte of stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Huh we didn't. Let's send it over with you. Oh sure, sure,
I got it right here. I'll stop pushing boy, I'm low.
I'll take it easy. Joey, I want to talk to
you first. We'll talk later. Remember a boy and in
that role. Man, where's the stuff? Relaxed?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'll tell me to relax. What is least think he's
pulling anyway?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He's just being careful. You know this could mean a
prison to him if I'm dealing with this tooling.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I'm no Stooley.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I'm one of his best customers.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Can get all to jump from him? Yeah? Were you
there this afternoon when he had his beef with that
room minum?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You ask too many questions?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, I explained to you. Hey, you know what, I
think you're a fo Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I don't think let's to set you.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Here at all. Oh yeah, wrong, kid, Okay, we'll find up.
Put down that phone, I said, put down that phone.
I suppose we go for a little ride.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Hell yeah, what's trouble?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
This guy's pushing me around?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Heads up there.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You don't understand.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You don't understand. He's my brother.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What do they call you? Weeping willow?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Why I beat it?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That gunloaded? What do you think? I think? I better
go quietly? So longfellows, I'll be seeing you. My brother
kicked him out of thought. I better tell you you
were right, Joey.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
He didn't get nothing out of me.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Lest I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Why don't you show it with some stuff?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
No, you pressure on and I always that's a tough kid,
because I don't have a grain in the place. What
I was supposed to pick up three answers today, but
I couldn't take delivery with that Mike Wearing on my tail.
Why that thirty guys like him that are spoiling your fun?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh boy, if I could get my hands on him again.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Well maybe you can. Huh suppose I make your proposition.
You take care of Wearing and I'll take care of you.
Oh what does that mean? Just what it sounded like.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
But I haven't got a card.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's no problem.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh no, I don't want it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Hey, but don't come crying to me when you feel
like you're dying. I'm dying now. Oh it's Wearing Swalt
with him out of the way. I could keep you
supplying forever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
No, I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Look at me.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
A shot'll fix that. Uh yeah, but you said you
just happened to remember I got a loaded syringe in
the safe.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, have it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Will you get Wearing?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Just give me the stuff?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay? Forty one man, and it's seven months sixteen? Run? Hey? Yeah,
how could assist the best practically, a hundred percent pure stuff.
Where can I back office? I'll keep watch out here. Yeah,
(19:11):
you're powerless, and I don't find everything you need in
the medicine chest. Oh where is it? Never mind? I
got it? Need any help? What do you think I
have it?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Haven't you?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I know my way around alright, alright.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Hm, I don't know if it's my imagination or what,
but I feel him miny percent better already.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It ain't your imagination. You'd oh roll down your sleeve. Huh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh sure you're powerless?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You said that before.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I mean it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh the way I feel now, I can lick the
war when one man named Wearing shouldn't be any problem
at all. Here's the gun, Joey. Let's see what you
can do? Uh? How you Wearing? Come on here? How
(20:13):
did you get in here? Hi?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You remember me?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Huh? How could I ever forget a Joey Willow? That's me,
Joey Willow. I was the air up there? Huh? Off hand,
I'd say you were flying at ten thousand feets? Gets
smart and I'll let you have it right now? Where'd
you get that gun? I wouldn't you like to know
That's why I asked. But I think lest I made
a mistake. If you're to come to himself, you talk
(20:38):
too much. And so I've been told, Oh, I'm gonna
break you the habit. Oh you can kill me? What'll
that get you? And not? No, it won't. Wester isn't
long for this world. They'll get to him sooner or later.
And then where will you'll be?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Shut up?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's amount of joey the stuff wearing off. Listen, you
don't get quite the wallop out of it you used
to him? How did you do when Lester can't keep
your supplied? Why it will feel like you're burning up?
You know how it hits you. You can't eat, you
can't sleep, You just wanna die.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You gotta shut up.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Look at you even though you're shaking so you couldn't
hit the sight of a buck. Yeah, so you what
did I tell you? Let all come on, drop it,
let me go up, break your own time, all right?
Not sit down and behave yourself? Listen, got up?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Who you call it?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'll give you one gift I didn't mean.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So, let's just false. You don't know how it feels with.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Carbon. Hell, Oh, sergeant, this is wearing. Where are your
fan working? Which is more than I can say for you, Fellas.
I just solved your case. Shit you now, Yes, I
got a boy and a gun. He will bear me out.
Come again. I just latched down to the weapon to
kill al Romano. And who do you think send it over?
Mister Vic Lester himself? Can you top that? Maybe I
can't suppose.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I told you that Lester was knocked.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Off an hour ago. He won. And since you two
didn't get along so well, maybe we ought to have
a little talk. Do you want to come over by yourself?
Or should I send a car? What do you and
(22:14):
your family do on a weekend? If your average Americans
on a Saturday or Sunday, you enjoy your car, you
take a short drive or a long trip. If you
use your automobile a lot on weekend, you have a
good idea. How many millions of cars pour out onto
the highways on weekend. That's one reason why the traffic
death toll is so high and why the utmost caution
is needed in weekend driving more than any other time.
(22:37):
Along with the good drivers, we see the speeders, the drinkers,
the reckless ones, the inexperienced drivers and those who won't
yield an in shot on the road. As a result,
deaths in weekend automobile accidents have increased sharply about two thousand,
six hundred annually. That is an average of fifty more
fatalities every weekend in nineteen fifty one than in nineteen
forty six. Injuries in Saturday and Sunday traffic accidents are
(22:59):
now two hundred thousand greater in a year on weekends. Particularly,
Remember the drive as though your life depends on it.
It does. Now back to the adventures of the Falcon
(23:22):
twenty minutes who passed since Mike received the general information
that Vic Lester was murdered, and now police headquarters we
find Sergeant Corbett killing him in on the detail here
as we can figure it, Lester was killed at seven o'clock.
Where were you at that time? Where? Now? Listen, Reynolds,
he's entitled to an answer. But you certainly don't think
I killed him. Where's my motive? You thought he knocked
out of palliers he did? Well? I am no, You're crazy,
(23:45):
it's all Leicster once met with enough away at seven
o'clock on my way home. That's a lay off. And
a lux I said, lay off, he didn't kill Leslie
and Hodre. Let's take it from the top of the page.
You better start, Well, we know for a fact that
Lester killed Romano. How do we know that for a fact?
By the gun I took off Joey Willow he admitted
(24:07):
Lester gave it to him, And the bullets match up
with the slug jury moved from Romano's body, and go on. Well,
when Leicester Fellow was getting too close for comfort, he
seemed Joey Willow into gunning me. Ah by that well,
even Granny, He's right, sad. Just still doesn't solve anything,
doesn't it. Now we got another murder on our hands.
If Blessed killed Romano, who killed Lester? What about Joey Willow?
(24:28):
I don't see it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Wearings is alibi, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He was waiting for me at my place. Now obviously
there's someone else we haven't thought of. Oh about missus Romano? Yeah,
that makes sense, not to me, it doesn't. Where's her motive? Well,
Lester killed her husband, I'll Corbett make up your mind. First,
you were looking for her because you felt Rude was
set up with ou. Now you claim she was so
mad in love with him, she wanted to avenge his murder.
You can't have it both ways. So where do we
(24:52):
go from here? We've looked high and low.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I know we looked low when we found Joey Willow.
We haven't looked high. I don't get it. You do,
don't you, Reynolds. I'm fraid I don't. A lesser never
could have stayed in business without some form of protection.
Doesn't it strike you strings that al Romano was killed
right after he agreed to talk to the police. Wouldn't
that be the natural time?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
But who knew his plan? His wife did, No, she didn't.
She only knew he was coming to see me. But
there was one person who Romano was going to implicate
less Oh you what? Right after I phoned Julie must
have called Lester and told him the worse? Yeah, crazy,
He told him he had to get rid of Romano
before you got there. You figured that would solve everything.
You don't blame, do you? Common? I wanna hear more
(25:37):
than after Romano's death, when I kept insisting Lester was
behind it. Reynolds told you how to get rid of
Lester for his own protection, lut sage. And you can
listen to Lesser if you want him. And I've got
to stay where you are. It is kind much, it
will be a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Hey, what I found?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
What do you make of this? Why the way I
make of what? His service revolver? It's been fired recently?
Let me see that up hardly. I bet the slug
that kill Lester came from this gun. I wouldn't be
at all surprised. Uh, do me a favor, my sure, sogon,
leave me and Reynolds alone for a while. I got
(26:18):
some departmental business. I don't want to take up with
him alone. I'm on more, but cheer up. I'mout stopping
(26:42):
somewhere for a thear. No, I don't feel like celebrating.
And I think what the public you'll make of this? Oh,
they'll understand. They know the thousands of decent things cop
do do every day of the year don't make news.
Only when a cop does something rock that makes headlines daily.
Was a cock. Reynolds wouldn't have been any different if
he was a fireman or a garbage collector or Guys
(27:02):
like him in every business in the world just can't
keep him out. Yeah, but they're the exception, not the rule.
Well everybody knows that. Incidentally, what did he tell you?
He was working with Lester for the past six months.
When he thought you were getting too close for comfort,
he decided to get rid of Lester so there'd be
no trail leading back to him. He can press all
that and more. He should have seen him. He couldn't
(27:25):
ask for a more cooperative witness. Mm and he was
practically crying for the stenographer to get it all down.
Well I can't see why. Oh wait a minute, what
happened when I left you two alone? Well this is
strictly between us. Oh sure, but I figured if Reynolds
could forget for six months, he was a cop, you
(27:46):
were entitled to get it to six minutes. Actually it
was closer to sixteen. Good night, Mike,
