is the Case of the Lonely Hunter.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hello. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Iris, Now
you have to cancel me out tonight. Angel. I'm on
my way to Cairo. No Cairo, Egypt, the land of
the Pharaohs.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Hm hm.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Seems someone there started a new pyramid club. An Army
intelligence wants me to find out if they're paying off
and lead. Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you
the transcribed Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Damon. The
Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those

(02:50):
hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their lives.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
To aid law enforcement agencies. So join him now. When
the Falcon solves the Case of the Lonely.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Hunter, and the boy who first said there's no place
like home must have had me in mine. But I
never realized how much truth there was in those five words.
Jalami Intelligence picked up my option and sent me flying
to Egypt. And if you think I'm the only one
who feels this way, you might querry Vince Torio. Mister

(03:24):
Torio is a rugged looking gent sharing a table with
the character wearing the tarbush in the Cafe El Kala
near the Arab quarter of Cairo. Vince is a long
way from home, and obviously that's where he feels charity begins.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Miss I said beaded, ummah, oh, how I hate this place.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
For my part, they can take it and give it
back to the Pharaoh's.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
You are not very charitable to a land that granted
you asylum.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Woll for my joe Yusovitz thinks where I made my
mistake was not going to Italy with Lucky. He's a
guy I told you about, the one I used to
work for. Now there was a sport Hussein. When we
went into a club of New York, all a flunkies
used to knock themselves out. My best place is too,
not sores like this boy would I love to see

(04:15):
him again.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
And then why did you come here?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Because I was a big schmoll. That's why Lucky would
have taken me with him in a minute. But now
I had to come to Egypt, romantic land of the Nile.
When you watch how fast I shake the Sahara dust
off my shoes, when I.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Make a score, I gather you mean money.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
That's exactly what I mean.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Then I have a proposition that might interest you. A
friend of mine has two kilos of pure opium he
would like smuggled into Morocco. Let me pay one hundred pounds.
We could share it equally.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Uh ah, and clothed me out.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
I'm not taking a chance of winding up in your
local fleabag for that kind of.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Well, I'll be Carol, Carol Margan, beg your pardon. What's
the matter, baby? Don't you remember me?

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Vince Torio, I'm afraid you're making a mistake.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Kid? And I'd recognize trouble.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
No abdull, this gentleman thought I was someone else.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, yeah, I guess I did. No heart feeling, of
course not.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Should we go updoor.

Speaker 8 (05:23):
Anytime you're ready there?

Speaker 9 (05:25):
I think you might enjoy seeing the citadel was built
by Saladean in the twelfth century.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Well, that's one for the book.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
The eyes play strange tricks.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Say, huh, what'd you say?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yes, you were mistaken about the young lady.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
No, I wasn't. It's Carol Morgan. All right.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
It sure is a small world. Remember me telling you
about this guy Lucky I used to work for. Oh,
Carol was his girl. I wonder who that character was, Whether.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
Perhaps I can be of some assistance. He is abdul
sadim be what do you pick up that accent? I
believe he attended Oxford loaded Eh, if you mean wealthy?
The answer is yes.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Well what do you know? Leave it a little, Carol?
The land on her feet?

Speaker 4 (06:14):
You think you could scout around and find out where
she's staying.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
You have an idea, I have a couple.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
You know something?

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yes, I I was wrong about Egypt. This could be
the land of opportunity.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
With it.

Speaker 7 (06:43):
Smolically.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Hello, Carol.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
I guess I should have known.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
I guess you should have. Hey, this is quite a layout.
You want to see the jump where I'm staying? I
swear the flies are soap?

Speaker 7 (06:58):
What do you want?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
You might at least ask me to sit down.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
It wrong.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
It's been how long six years since?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
It?

Speaker 6 (07:06):
So Incna.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
What do you hear from Lucky?

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Nothing?

Speaker 5 (07:10):
I bet that's because he don't know where to contact.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
You and he's not going to find out.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
There's no reason he should live and not live is
my motto.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
What are you getting at, Vince?

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Why you were just a young kid when you met Lucky?

Speaker 7 (07:25):
What did you know you shouldn't learn better?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
You're being hot on yourself, Carol. Anyone's entitled to make
a mistake. You just weren't used to the big living.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
I learned fast enough. But that's all behind me, Vince.
I haven't done anything in the last six years. I
wouldn't want anyone to know about.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Does that go for the Sultan? The Sultan the character
you were, the one with affairs? His name is Abdul
sullim Bay.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
Isn't he How did you find that out?

Speaker 5 (07:50):
A friend of mine? Yes, I've bin Ali told me. Yes,
I says he's loaded.

Speaker 7 (07:56):
If it's money you want.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
What kind of a heel you take me?

Speaker 7 (08:00):
And what do you want?

Speaker 5 (08:02):
You know? I always had a yend for you. What
of course I couldn't say anything? Well, Lucky was around,
but now it's different. Let me go. Oh, I don't
tell me you've fallen for the sultant.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
I said, let me go.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Okay, baby, that's the way you want, and I can
plain like that too. It was gonna be nice, but
you wouldn't let me.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Okay. What do you think the something will say when
he finds out who you are?

Speaker 7 (08:30):
I wouldn't tell him?

Speaker 8 (08:31):
How much?

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Tell you god?

Speaker 10 (08:33):
Eight?

Speaker 8 (08:34):
That'll make me laugh?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
What about all our jewelry Lucky gave you?

Speaker 7 (08:37):
I gave it back.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
What do you call that rock on your finger?

Speaker 7 (08:40):
That's my own.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
We'll take it a Come on, come on, Carol.

Speaker 10 (08:44):
Give.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Now?

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Will you get out?

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (08:49):
But I'll be running any again. We all friends ought
to stick together. I'll be seeing your baby.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
Oh, Captain, will you slow down to about ten knocks?
I don't want Riss Morgan to miss this. Look, Carol,
Over there, that's old Cairo. Those ruins are part of
the Roman fortress of Bemly.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
Hmmm.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
Better paid attention to how I'm going to ask questions later.
I'm sorry, that's all right, arm Now that island we're
passing is the island the Broader, according to our tradition,
that's where Pharah's daughter found Moses in the bull rushers.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
That's very interesting, is it.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
What do you mean there's something bothering you? You're wrong,
it is I want you to feel.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
You can tell me.

Speaker 7 (09:43):
There's nothing to tell.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
That man you met yesterday in the Capel Color told you.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
He was mistaken. You heard him, admit it. He knew
your name, he knew nothing of the kind.

Speaker 8 (09:53):
You know how I feel about your daughter.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
And if I give you a license to pry into
my private affairs, I never maintained a dead and for
Heaven's sake, stop me and take that look out of
your eyes. It doesn't do a thing for you.

Speaker 11 (10:04):
Go away, leave me alone.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Yes, have I the pleasure of speaking with His Excellency
Abdor Salimbi.

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Who is this?

Speaker 6 (10:29):
I am called Yusuf.

Speaker 8 (10:31):
Benali, Yusef Bernale.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
I could not expect his Excellency to recognize the name.
I am unworthy of such honor, though our paths have crossed.
I was in the Cafe el Cala yesterday with a
foreigner when his Excellency entered with the American lady. So
my companion, too, came from America. His name is Vincent Torrio.

(10:58):
If I can offer a suggestion, you might find it
to your advantage to investigate the gentleman.

Speaker 8 (11:05):
Why are you telling me all this? Yusuf?

Speaker 6 (11:07):
As it says in the Koran, we Muslims should be
helpful to one another. Who knows someday you may be
of some small service to me me Allah show you the.

Speaker 10 (11:19):
Way at you?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yesf yeah, come on alo evince with the wu You
don't remember now, it's been a long time. The name
is Wearing, Mike Wearing.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Oh sure, you're that private jerk they call a falcon.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
It comes back to you now.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, but I don't remember in finding you when.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
You just forgot your manners? What in the world of
a possession to move into a like this?

Speaker 5 (12:01):
I like the view?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, better on the clear day you can see eight
million flies. Lucky did much better for himself. I hear tell.
He's got a villa in Italy that's out of this world.
How come you're two separated when you were deported?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Any your business?

Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, but it's Uncle Sam's. I'm working for him these days.
What are you babbling upon a cigarette? I asked you
something worry Well, it's come to Uncle's attention that narcotics
are being smuggled into the States by way of Egypt.
We've got to hunch the traffic as being directed by
Lucky from Italy.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
What's that got to do with me?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, isn't it strange? I find you in Cairo.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
And I'm studying to be a maslan?

Speaker 11 (12:39):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (12:41):
What's Carol Morgan's reason? Oh, Lucky's old girlfriend?

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Is she here?

Speaker 8 (12:47):
You mean you didn't know?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, it's funny. I tell the boy to our hotel yesterday.
It looked exactly like you and our Luckwise guy, you
can't blame me for being suspicious, Vince, with you and
Carol and Cairo looks like the gap of the clan.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
I tell to have him seen her.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Isn't that her diamond ring?

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
You shouldn't leave it lying around, Vince. It's much too valuable.
How come she gave it to you? She's crazy for me,
there's no accounting for taste. I guess I'll take a
little ride over to the Ministry of the Interior. I
could join me.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Not in your life, come on, Felloen, I said, not
in your life, and I meet it.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'll put away that gun. Vince. You know you wouldn't
use it wouldn't I yeah, I guess you would.

Speaker 10 (13:31):
So in that case of back, you.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Can't hate a guy for trying who can't.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Personally, I can hit him like poison.

Speaker 9 (13:48):
Play with that water, Muhammad, I believe our friend is
coming to.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
I'll give it to him. Try some of this, mister wedding?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
What is it?

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Just t Walter? Unfortunately?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Where am I? Oh?

Speaker 9 (14:04):
I am afraid you're headache? So just beginning, sir?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
What the doubl are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Muhamed?

Speaker 9 (14:09):
Will you be good enough to lift the blanket?

Speaker 8 (14:13):
You recognized the gentleman.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
As Vince Torrio.

Speaker 9 (14:17):
It was mister Torrio, who probably come as no shock
to you.

Speaker 8 (14:21):
He was stabbed to death.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Who did it?

Speaker 8 (14:24):
I imagine you'd be in the best position to know.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Wait a minute, where do you get off asking these questions?

Speaker 8 (14:30):
H forgive me. I should have introduced myself. My name
is Abdul Salambay.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I thought I recognized your fays. I've seen you at
Carol Morgan.

Speaker 9 (14:39):
You're a friend of miss Morgan, not exactly.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Would you care to tell me your version of the
fair here?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Why should I?

Speaker 9 (14:46):
Because I found you right next to mister Torrio's body.
And his chief assistant to the Minister of the Anterior.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Don't give me that I met the chief assistant. His
name is Hassen Pasha.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
You must have met him a week ago. What's that
got to do with anything. Well, when King Peruke abdicated,
naturally there was a shake up in the local police.
I now hold a position a chief assistant. Oh no, oh, yes,
I'd love you to see our new headquarters, A frankly

(15:17):
old chap.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
I don't think you like them one bit.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Last year, thousands of Americans who tried to get away
with carelessness on the highways were killed or permanently injured
in traffic accidents. Unless you are meticulous in your observance
of the rules of highway safety, you and your loved
ones are vulnerable to the menace of traffic accidents. Every
motorist and pedestrian should take an active role in supporting
the safety movement in his or her community. Remember, the

(15:54):
life you save may be your own. Now back to
the Adventures of the Falcon.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
They say there's nothing like travel the broadened one, and
that must be true, because Egypt certainly flattened me out,
and they really killed themselves to make things interesting. For tourists.
Look at me. After I was slug by Vince Torio.
I come to find Vince on the floor beside me
with a knife in his back. And if that isn't enough,
standing over us is a big shot in the local
police named Abdul Salem Bay. Now that's service for you.

Speaker 9 (16:35):
I hate to rush you, mister Wedding, but anytime you ran.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Now, wait a minute, Abdol. You don't seriously believe I
murdered him.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
You admit quarreling with mister Toyo.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yes, and he knocked me silly. So when did I
have a chance to kill him? I was unconscious when
you found me.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
You might have been chamming.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, then riddle me this. If I was faking, why
didn't I beat it before you arrived.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
You probably didn't have the opportunity. You're real anxious to
pin this on me, aren't you. That's unfair, mious to wedding.
My only motive is to see justice.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Done, even if Carol Morgan is involved. I beg your pardon.
You should Did you know Carol and Vince Torrio were
old friends? You're lying I tailored to our hotel yesterday.
Suppose he was blackmailing her? Ridiculous? And why didn't you
give him that diamond ring? All right, I'm dul What
did you do with it?

Speaker 10 (17:24):
Do with it?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
There was a ring on that table when I walked in,
and you think I removed it?

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I do to protect Carol, your.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
Mistaken, my friend. We'll see about it just a moment,
mister wedding. Where do you think you're going?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I want to see Carol?

Speaker 5 (17:36):
No you're not.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh does this mean I'm under arrest?

Speaker 8 (17:40):
I thought that was fairly obvious.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay, I'm done.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Who are you calling?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
American ambassador?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Operator operator that tomb VS City?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh? Me?

Speaker 10 (17:53):
I go.

Speaker 9 (17:54):
Yes, However, I must caution you not to go too
far away. The contrary, old man, you can't go far
enough to please me. I shall notify your ambassador. My
government finds you personal grata, which means you have six
hours to leave Egypt. And what about him, mister Torrio,
it's no problem after all.

Speaker 8 (18:13):
When a man commits suicide.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Suicide, Oh that's a hot one. I suppose he stabbed
himself in the bag.

Speaker 8 (18:20):
Exactly what you forget? This is the mysterious Egypt. The
strangest things can happen here.

Speaker 9 (18:30):
I were you, old man, I'd bear that in mind.

Speaker 8 (18:44):
One hum five.

Speaker 9 (18:54):
Hello Carol, Yes, this is abdor Oh.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
Darling, I'm so glad you called a apologize.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Oh that is necessary, Carol. Do you love me?

Speaker 7 (19:03):
You know I do?

Speaker 8 (19:05):
Then you must have confidence in my judgment.

Speaker 9 (19:07):
As Michael Wearing on his way over to see you,
Michael Wearing, he was formerly a private investigator in the States.
At present he's with American Intelligence.

Speaker 7 (19:15):
What does he want with me?

Speaker 8 (19:16):
There's no reason for alarm. He asks you.

Speaker 9 (19:19):
If you know a Vincent Toreo, deny it?

Speaker 7 (19:22):
But I don't know him.

Speaker 9 (19:24):
That's fine, darling. You just stick to that story later, sweetheart.
Right now, time is of the essence. Just remember you
never heard a Vincentio.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yes, hello Carol? Remember me?

Speaker 7 (19:51):
Should I?

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Well? I like to think I made some kind of
an impression. The name is Mike Wearing.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
Mike Wearing. Oh of course, I'm sure that private detective
he called a former.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Not so loud. I'm trying to live it down. May
I come in?

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Why not? I've got nothing to hide.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Are you sure?

Speaker 7 (20:09):
Sit down?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Thanks?

Speaker 7 (20:11):
What are you doing in Egypt?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
So? I was just about to ask you that Lucky's
in Italy. Isn't he?

Speaker 7 (20:16):
I wouldn't know. I haven't seen him since he was deported.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
What do you hear from Vince Torio?

Speaker 8 (20:22):
Who?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, don't tell me you've forgotten good old Vince.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
How could I forget him when I never knew him
in the first place.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
He used to work for Lucky.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Lucky never mixed business with pleasure.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Just the same, you might be interested to learn that
Vince was murdered.

Speaker 7 (20:35):
Really, I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I'd imagine you'd be glad keeps him from spilling anything
about your past, your new boyfriend, my boyfriend, Abdul Salem Bay.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
Suppose we leave Abdulla out of this.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
I wish I could, but he thinks I'm the guilty cretit?
Are you you know better Angel than who is?

Speaker 10 (20:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I can think of several possibilities you for.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
One, I told you I didn't even know the man.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I won't wash Carol. He was up to see yesterday.

Speaker 7 (21:00):
You're mistaken.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
When he walked out he had a diamond ringed it.
How about that? How about what I see you're wearing
it again? Last time I saw it, Vince had it
in his room.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
Are you suggesting I'm.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Suggesting there's only one way you could have gotten it back.
You took it after you killed Vince. Okay, I'll be back,
if only to turn the other cheek. Take care of yourself.
Angel I wish I had time to yo.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Who goes there?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
The friend? Sell him? I lock him, youse. I can
be of service to you, Yes, indeed you can. My
name is Mike wearing, Mike waiting. Vince Torio suggested I
look you up.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
You were acquainted with him.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well acquainted as hardly the word. We spent a nice
couple of hours together this afternoon. Thence tells me you
know Carol like no one else.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
Oh, he is most kind.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
You are familiar with the Savoy Hotel.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
I was once employed there as a portter.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Oh, whether this ought to be a steal. And there's
a young lady staying there named Carol Morgan. I think
you could get into her room.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
May I inquire for what purpose?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
She's wearing a diamond ring. I'd like you to get
it for me.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
You are not suggesting I steal it? Mm hmm, by
the beard of Allah, I am offended.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Well, I'm sorry, Yosef. Yes, I got the wrong boy.
If you know anyone who wants to make himself a
fast hundred pounds, you will pay one hundred pounds for
the ring undelivery.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Please be seated.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
You're no longer offended.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
How could I possibly be? You are Vincentorio's friend, and
any friend of mister Torrio's is a friend of mine.
It will be a pleasure to be of service.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
To Ministry of Interior.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Have I the honor speaking with his Excellency Abdul Sarimbe.
Who is this your servants, Sir Yusuf ben Nally?

Speaker 5 (23:23):
What is it?

Speaker 8 (23:24):
Yusef?

Speaker 6 (23:24):
I wish to prove my sincerity. Twenty minutes ago, I
was approached in the cafe El Callab by a gentleman
named Michael werry Well. He had an illegal proposition for me.
He wished me to enter the hotel room of the
American lady Carol Morgan and steal her ring.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Really, he offered me one hundred.

Speaker 6 (23:44):
Pounds stirring for the task. Did I not do well
in informing you?

Speaker 9 (23:48):
You are most Twise, I'll tell you what I would
like you to do accommodate miss wedding.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
His Excellency does not mind.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
On the contrary, his Excellency insists on it. Just advise
me when the theft is successfully accomplished. May Allah aid
you in your task.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Joseph, yosef over here?

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Ah, mister Waring, did you get the ring? It has
been said of Yoseph finale that failure and he are
strangers and miss Morgan gave it up with scarcely.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
A struggling I knew I picked the right boy. All right,
let's have it.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
The gentleman is forgetting something I was promised one hundred pounds.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh, yes, that's right, you were fifty seven, maybe five?
They are.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
No, you are most kind, and now I am happy
to complete my end of the bargain.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Come to Papa.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
It is permitted to ask to what purpose you intend
to put this sournament?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yes it is. Indeed, this is a little gimmick that's
going to give us Vince Torio's killer. What Oh, didn't
I tell you Vince is now on the land of Osyrus.
But who asked the question of the hour? When I've
got to hunch this ring and provide the answer.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
I'm so happy for you, mister Wearing. Well, please keep
your seats, gentlemen, in case you've forgotten. I'm abdul selim Bay.
I didn't forget. What you failed to remember was that
I gave you six hours to leave Cairo.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
I'll get out in time.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
Collect me if I'm wrong. But the ring your holding
is the property of missus Cattle Morgan. How would you
know that, elementary old man? I gave it to it?
What and since I now find it in your possession,
it forces me to one conclusion.

Speaker 8 (25:33):
You're receiver of stolen much.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I now wait a minute, your hosts.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
Perhaps I am here.

Speaker 9 (25:39):
I gave you six hours to leave my country, and
I'm afraid we're going to have to play host to
you for the next five to ten years. I guess
it proves even the best of us make mistake.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
On the highway, speed is the number one killer. It
takes more than half of the lives lost in traffic
accidents in many states. Last year's speeding drivers caused fifteen
thousand deaths in the United States, and that year, more
than five hundred thousand persons were injured in automobile accidents
blamed on excessive speed initiatedn't support your local enforcement drives

(26:18):
against speeders, and remember drivers, though your life depends on it,
it does now back to the adventures of the falcon.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh. Mama warned me there would be days like this,
but she neglected to mention they come once a week. No,
Mama wouldn't have approved. She would have hated the Cafe
el Kala. She has a sinus condition, and the smoke
and the joint would have played the devil with it,
and there was certainly no place for her. Boy, when
you're caught with a hot piece of ice in your hands,
you can't very well insist it's a frame. But obviously

(26:56):
Abdul Salem Bay didn't think it was going to stop
me from trying.

Speaker 9 (27:00):
I suppose you'll maintain you're the victim of circumstance. Mister Weerring.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
You boys are pretty cute.

Speaker 9 (27:05):
Why what in the world do you mean you and
yourself cooked up this little stunt.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Between you, I swear on the corral, I cut it
out yourself. You're breaking my heart.

Speaker 9 (27:12):
Really, mister Wearing, I'm surprised at you. You expect me
to believe this is all coincidental, rankly old man, I
don't care what you believe.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Why you should, because I had no idea this ring
was stolen. I bought it in good faith. It's most amusing,
and if you search him you'll find one hundred pounds.
I paid him, no doubt.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
But you knew the ring was miss Morgan's property, and
you had yoursef to secure.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
It for you. I wouldn't insist on that theory. Why
not might prove very embarrassing the Carroll. The last time
I saw it was in Vince Torrio's room, shortly before
he was murdered. And if yourself here got it from
miss Morgan, you see where that takes you. I'm afraid
not a you're not looking in the right place. Suppose
we adjourn the Carroll's hotel room and do a little
peaking there, and I hope, for your sake, she can

(27:52):
stand an investigation.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
I assure you, darling, there's nothing to worry about. I
just want you to answer a few questions.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I suppose you let me phrase them. Abdol Carol, you
recognize this man.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
No, the lady is mistaken.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's enough out of you yourself, sweetheart.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
I promise you, there's no reason to be frightened, but
you must tell the truth. Do you know his name
is Yusuf Finale.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Yes, he was up here about an hour ago.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
What happened. He stole a ring, that's all?

Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Is this it?

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Take a good look, Angel. You're sure it's the same one.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, I say, a diamond is the hardest substance in
the world. So let's see.

Speaker 8 (28:35):
Don't worry that knife.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I don't worry, Abdoll. I'm just performing a little experiment.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
What the devil are you doing?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
You call it? You've marred the stone and obviously it
wasn't a diamond.

Speaker 8 (28:46):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, but you do, don't you, Carol? No, you're lying.
This is a paste copy of the ring Abdol gave you.

Speaker 11 (28:52):
You're wrong.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Iman admitted he gave a genuine article to Vince Torio.
Well didn't you, Yes, Carol, I'm sorry. I'm doing what form.
I proved you didn't kill him? What Alachillo walked off
with the McCoy and if you had it, you would
have worn it instead of this phony in.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
The motor Victorio's murder was old fashioned robbery.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Ride yourself?

Speaker 6 (29:12):
How would I know?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Who would know better? You walk in on Vince while
I was out cold. You thought it was too good
a chance to miss, so you murdered him, waltzed off
with the rock, figuring i'd be blamed for both.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Oh, you are wrong by the beard.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
No, there's no reason to go modest on the folks yourself.
If you did a nice piece of work, I wouldn't
think of letting anyone else take the credit.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
I can't tell you how much I appreciated your assistant sweating.
I don't know what I what i'd have done without you,
but you'd rather well, you can appreciate my position.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Oh sure you thought I was gonna nail either you
or Carol for Vince's murder.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
Actually I didn't care about myself, so I suppose you
considered me a suspect all al that.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
No, No, I didn't. If you had killed Vince and
taken the ring somewhere or other, you would have arranged
for Carol to get it back. The fact she was
wearing the copy proof both of you were innocent. Hey,
what are we stopping here for?

Speaker 8 (30:18):
Isn't this your hotel?

Speaker 9 (30:20):
Well, well, you will have to start packing if you
plan to leave Egypt within the six hours I gave you.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
And I'll wait a minute.

Speaker 9 (30:26):
I hope you don't take this personally, old man, but
you're such a troublemaker.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
I just as soon not have you around, but.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
You can't kick me out. I'm an American citizen.

Speaker 9 (30:35):
Peru was king of all Egypt, and you did it
to him exactly, mister Wedding.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
The Case of a Rolling Stone, The Case of the
Rolling Stones, that's the title of next week's Adventure of
the Falcon, when Mike Whering learns what it takes to
make some people settle down is nothing short of murder.

(31:18):
The Adventures of the Falcon are based on the famous
character created by Drexel Drake, produced and transcribed by Bernard L. Schubert,
written by Eugene Wining, and directed by Richard Lewis Less.
Damon Will starred as the Falcon with Elsbeth Eric as Carol.
This program came from New York, Fred Collins.

Speaker 12 (31:35):
Speaking, welcome back, A solid outing for the Falcon.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Not quite Rocky Jordan, but still a good time. I
did sense that he was setting a trap for the
thief by hiring him, and that's how it worked out.
Although you would think a really good thief would let
himself be seen, particularly if he was robbing the girlfriend
of the head of police while trying to ingratiate himself
to the head of police, but I guess nobody's perfect. Well,

(32:19):

Speaker 13 (33:02):
I have received this a fortune which have been dropping
my lap, so to speak. It have made vast.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Difference in my life.

Speaker 13 (33:09):
Letne know that naturally from a pauperay I sent suddenly
to a man of property. What is my first reaction
to get away from missus spot loveways. It may be
to hasten to New York to realize my inheritance in
the London, the Paris, the continent where I shall feel
at home. I shall sit in the twilight in the
piazza at the venice while the band plays music.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
Ah, yes, some music.

Speaker 13 (33:35):
Perhaps again I shall conduct for who knows. But I
remember telling me, mister Chandler, we unlucky ones who cannot
give a satisfactory account of ourselves, that how long was
the languisher here?

Speaker 14 (33:50):
You must language the guilty person be found. Then we
may go those who are not concerned. Yea, but one who.

Speaker 13 (33:59):
Had information, who perhaps assist in the arrest of the guilty.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
What over him?

Speaker 14 (34:04):
That's one woul the cost the post linger here?

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Ah, that would be so unfortunate for him.

Speaker 13 (34:09):
But then I am not surprised that long ago I
find that there is no justice in American law.

Speaker 14 (34:15):
And this information you have, mister Romano, which will assist
in arrested matter, what is it?

Speaker 5 (34:20):
I do not understand.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
