Speaker 3 (01:26):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh Carol, You'll
have to cancel me out tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Angelo.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I'm the Intelligence is sending me to London. Yeah, I
seems some gambler there will take a chance on anything.
They want me to prove that murder is a bad bet.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
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 hard hitting
detectives who like Mike Warring, risk their lives to aid
law enforcement agencies. So join him now when the Falcon
(02:08):
salves the case of the Jack of Diamonds.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
There's one nice thing you.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Can say about working for Army intelligence. It teaches you
people are the same the world over. And I take,
for example, Diane Halsey. Ane's the gorgeous looking blond at
the corner table in Sherry the Swan cocktail bar in
London's West End. To look at her, you'd immediately suspect
something's wrong. She's not the kind of a girl you'd
expect to see alone. But that's purely a matter of choice.
(02:40):
Diane's only waiting for the right man to come.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Along, and here he comes. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm sorry if I kept your daughter.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
That's all right, Bruse, that don't lie.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Did you want to No?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I thought i'd wait for you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Sweet. What would you like?
Speaker 7 (02:54):
That all depends when I'm celebrating. I prefer champagne.
Speaker 8 (02:59):
Well, the night, I guess you'll have to settle for
something else. Why I didn't see dissants.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You didn't see dissantos.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Believe me, Diane. I tried, but I couldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
I knew I was wasting my time.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Take your hand off me, darling.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Please, you want to do as I asked, Just give
me a chance to explain.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I'm not interested. All I know is you threw away
two thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What makes you so positive?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Will you are depending solely on this Jack Diamond? Well,
so how do I know I can trust him?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I have even met the man I have?
Speaker 8 (03:35):
Well, what's his real name? You can't expect me to
believe that Jack Diamond isn't an ailus.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
Oh now look, Pruce.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Oh I'm getting at Diana's. How can you be certain
those foot statsy gave you are authentic?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
There's an accepted way to find out. How show them
to dessants if they're jitimate. Mister DeSantis will think that
two thousand pounds you're asking very reasonable.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Please don't make me do it.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
You call yourself from man where you're going, that's no
concern of yours this time. I would advise you to
try and stop me. No, you can't a bullet you No?
Well what which hut?
Speaker 9 (04:14):
I'll do it?
Speaker 10 (04:17):
You will, yes, when tonight?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
That's my die.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You do love me, of course? Silly.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Now order with some champagne.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, mister Graham, see this before?
Speaker 9 (05:03):
Where do you get this photostat?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
In case you're interested, it's for sale.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
How much is it going to cost me?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Two thousand pounds?
Speaker 9 (05:15):
There's a lot of money, mister Graham. But maybe he's
worth it. You want him in cash?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, you mean you're actually going to give it to me?
Speaker 9 (05:23):
Now, you bet your life.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You get away from that box.

Well, there's only money in here, Only.
Speaker 9 (05:41):

Yeah? Do we quatro say and four make a two thousand?
There you are?
Speaker 2 (06:35):

Speaker 9 (06:37):
That's a funny question coming from you. I think I
behave very nice for somebody who's being blackmail.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Why didn't you kill me when you have the chance.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
I is not going to solve anything. Your friends know
you're here. My friends, Oh, you never convinced the Sanders
you're working alone. So I make the best of a
bad bargain. You got the money, I got the further stand.
But I doesn't think I want to do this again.
Mister Gay Please remember this.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
EH told you could do it.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
See Bruce, there was nothing to it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
He could have killed me, Diane.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
He could have shot ridiculous darling. He wouldn't dare not
with what we know about mister designer.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I wouldn't go through it again for twice the money?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
How about a hundred times?
Speaker 12 (07:34):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Don't you see the possibilities? This was just a test case.
Is you pought it out? Jack Diamond could have been mistaken?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Who is this Diamond chap?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Anyway, don't you boby a pretty little had about him.
I've got a right to know all you need know, darling?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Has he delivered the goods? Now we've got mister Desanders
right where we want him.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
But you promised, I promised what there would only be
this once that we take them?
Speaker 11 (08:00):
You go away.
Speaker 7 (08:00):

Speaker 10 (09:04):
Ah, yeah, do you want to speak with him?
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Sure? Hello, that's right. How are you, Graham?
Speaker 13 (09:14):
Fine?
Speaker 9 (09:15):
That's good.
Speaker 13 (09:16):
You're probably wondering why I call now?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
How much is going to cost? This time? I asked
how much is going to cost the poor des Sanders?
Speaker 13 (09:26):
Twenty five thousand pounds? You hurt me?

Speaker 13 (09:38):
I'm serious, disutters.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
I know you are.
Speaker 13 (09:41):
Have you ready at nine.

Speaker 13 (09:43):

Speaker 9 (09:47):
I'm fine.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
You better, and just so there'll be no mistake, I'll
be driving a blue Nosse convertible.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Hello. Hello, Graham.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Who was there?
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Just a fellow from business? Runnie? Julia?
Speaker 10 (10:02):
Is something wrong?
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Because it does?
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Any way I can help you.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
You're good boy, Runnie. You're making sport at me, No, honest,
But let me ask you something. Suppose that mister X
have papers that can make lots of trouble for you?
Speaker 10 (10:17):
What would you do you mean? If I were being
black mail I.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Think maybe we can call him that.
Speaker 14 (10:22):
Well, I'm not much of a hero, Julia. If I
were in a gem, i'd give this mister X whatever
he wanted.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
You're right, Rannie. In a case like this, there is
nothing to do but to give my friend what he
asks for. See, I always told you we think alike.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Hello, Diane, Why Jack Diamond of all people? Come on?
Speaker 10 (10:55):
He thanks?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
You know? This isn't very bright of you, Darling.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
I couldn't help myself. I'm worried.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Dane.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Well, it's about Graham. Needn't be he'll behave. He's going
to see the scientists now.
Speaker 10 (11:06):
He mustn't, mustn't.
Speaker 14 (11:08):
Julia is simply furious. I refuse to run the risk
of having him discovered that I'm involved.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Seems such a shame to quit now.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I won't hear it.
Speaker 10 (11:17):
Graham mustn't see the siders.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
Now.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
Are you going to stop him? Or shall I?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
You are not leaving me much choice, darling, But let
me think about it for a little while. I'll let
you know when I reach a decision.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
One one.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Hotel Carla, mister wearing please, Michael Wearing, Hello, mister wearring.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
My name is Bruce Graham.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Bruce Graham.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You don't know me, but.
Speaker 13 (11:59):
But you that might be worth my while if I did.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yes, I live at for twenty seven Charleston West, that's
what if picket day?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
How soon can you be over?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Not so fast? What's this all about?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, it's about something you should be interested in. You're
with American intelligence, don't you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
How did you find that out?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
The same way I found out you were staying at the.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Carlisle, which of course tells me nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It wasn't meant to.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
I'll fill you in on with the tails as soon
as you get here, but it's got to be before nine.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
Oh, this is all kind of vague, fella. I don't
think I can make it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You've got to. You don't understand. Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
What? What are you doing here?
Speaker 13 (12:34):
You've said hello, Graham, you've said Graham, what's going on here?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
We can't win a war, or a political campaign, or
even a piece without a slogan, but it helps in
a big way to do the job ahead. A good
slogan makes people think. If it's repeated and repeated until
it becomes part of our language, and if the thought
it expresses becomes part of our lives and our daily actions.
Then that slogan does what it's intended to do. Take,
(13:11):
for instance, the universal slogan safety first all moorderer should
be sure to follow the tip of the best current
slogan for them drivers, though your life depends on it,
it does. Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Tell.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
As one thing travel teaches you, telephone companies are the
same in England as.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They are in America.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But I had a hunch that more than the line
was dead here, so I hustled over to four twenty
seven Charleston. When I walked in, there was no question
that someone had Bruce Graham's number. He was lying on
the floor with two neat little holes in his head.
There was nothing I could do for him. So I
made myself at home and looked around. Then in the
corner of the room I saw it, it being a
(14:04):
thirty eight cult automatic. I pulled out a handkerchief and
picked it up. That was my first mistake. I didn't
have time to make a second.
Speaker 15 (14:12):
I say, oh, man, what I wouldn't do that. You're
tampering with evidence. I don't think the police would approve. Oh,
I wouldn't be too sure, I would. I'm inspected to
beat him of the CID.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh well, glad, no, you inspected him.
Speaker 15 (14:25):
You're just saying that to make me feel comfortable, boy,
But please don't bother I'm quite accustomed to this sort
of thing.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And now, just a minute, you don't think I had
anything to do with this. My name is Mike Wearing.
I'm with American Intelligence. If you'd like to see my credentials,
i'd love to.
Speaker 15 (14:40):
This is to thirty five and Michael Willings. It was
most impressive. What was your connection with mister Graham?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
He called me in my hotel about twenty minutes ago,
said he had to see me. In the middle of
the dialogue, I heard two shots, and naturally you dashed over.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Naturally.
Speaker 11 (14:54):
What do you suppose the put chap wanted?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't know, but it must have had something to
do with security measures. He knew I was with American Intelligence.
Speaker 15 (15:02):
Obviously he felt the CID was hardly as efficient.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
You don't believe me, Why, my dear.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Boy, It never occurred to me to doubt you.
Speaker 15 (15:10):
Still, you must admit it's rather suspicious finding you standing
over a body wiping off finger.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I wasn't wiping them off.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I was just examining the gun because look, I tell
you Graham was frightened of something. He claimed he had
to see me before nine. Why, well, I can only guess.
But what do you make of this note I found
scribbled near the phone?
Speaker 11 (15:30):
The Saunders nine Parslow Wembley.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Must have had an appointment to meet this disantus there.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
But yeah, but I don't think he'll keep it.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
No, but I can now what do you say, inspector?
Speaker 11 (15:42):
Well, it might be a nice touch, sort of a
fitting me more ill.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Don't you know?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
All right?
Speaker 15 (15:47):
Welling, you keep that appointment for Graham and I'll keep
an eye on you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Santass what I tried. She certainly did get out of
the car. Now wait a minute, Sorry, I don't have time.
That gunloaded.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
What do you think I think I better get out?
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If not, Bruce Gray, That's what I tried to tell you.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Name? Is Wearing? Mike Wearing and with American intelligence?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Oh, I'm sorry, you see, I expect someone else.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Bruce Graham said, right, Oh, Graham couldn't make it.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
What's the worst you can think of?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Murder?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Thanks to Santos? You just want a bet for me
I had to hunt your mind would run along those lines.
You understand, of course, mister designed us that.
Speaker 15 (16:51):
We have no desire to intimidate you, But if you'd
like to make a confession, you'll find us most appreciative.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
You're crazy expect that. I know, kid Graham? What the
reason I got?
Speaker 15 (17:00):
And I'm glad to ask me that because I've come
to the conclusion he was blackmailing away.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I hardly even know the fellow.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Then why did you arrange that appointment to beat him tonight?
Speaker 9 (17:09):
I don't arrange him Graham does. He said, you want
to see me on business?
Speaker 11 (17:14):
And exactly what is that business?
Speaker 9 (17:15):
I'm important, Olivoi? Why things like this?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
And where were you when Graham was done in?
Speaker 9 (17:21):
How should I know what time it happened?
Speaker 11 (17:24):
What time was it wearing?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Not seven thirty?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
At past seven? True? I was in my office.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Anybody with him?
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Just Runny Runnie, Runny Peyton. It's a nice young boy
who work.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
For me, that check inspector.
Speaker 11 (17:37):
Well, that's hard to say. Friend. Ronnie is apparently vanished.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
What do you mean vanished?
Speaker 11 (17:43):
She disappeared? Perhaps you can tell us why.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Well, Rannie is very sensitive. Maybe all this publicity make
him nervous.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So it takes off when you need him most.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
And how donn he gonna know I need him for alibi?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
How indeed, I'm ann inspector. There's something that doesn't add
up here and does for me.
Speaker 15 (18:02):
Mister Desanders had an appointment with Graham when you kept it.
He greeted you with open arms and a loaded revolver.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And so that's just it.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Why should he take a gun to me at nine
under the impression I'm Graham If he killed Graham anine
and a half earlier, I'm much obliged mister Weddy alrightly
to make it up to me.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Now, why was Graham blackmailing you?
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Wasn't?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Are you affiliated with the Communist Party?
Speaker 12 (18:24):
Me?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Of course not?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Or what other reason could Graham have for getting in
touch with me?
Speaker 9 (18:28):
How should I know?
Speaker 10 (18:30):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
When you think of an answer, give me a ring.
I'm at the Carlisle, I mean out, inspector.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm going home.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Oh, come in, mister Wedding.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
I suppose you think this is very forward of me.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
No, there's nothing I like better than having people drop
in and announced.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
Who are you, Jack Diamond?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Jack Diamond? You must be quite a card.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
That isn't very funny.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I know I'm pressing. What can I do for you, Jackie?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
No, you might ask me to sit down.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I don't think you'll be staying long if you're going
to be in sutting.
Speaker 14 (19:08):
Yes, no, I'm not going to get angry.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
You thought I would, didn't you.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I had hopes.
Speaker 14 (19:16):
You don't seem to understand, mister wedding. I'm here to
do you a favor. Supposing I told you there's a
communist cell in Paris.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
There must be thousands.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
Well, I can give you the names of a dozen
members or with high positions in government. How soon can
you leave or when would you like me to Well,
there's a seven o'clock flight to Paris, and by an
ard coincidence, you happened to have made a reservation for me. Well,
so that's awfully sweet of your Jackie, but you shouldn't
have bothered. I suppose you tell me why you're so
anxious for me to leave London.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
I told you I hate communists.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yes, well let's have the real reason.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
All right. You're investigating Bruce Graham's murder.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Oh, I wouldn't put it quite that way.
Speaker 14 (19:54):
I would it doesn't concern you, mister Wedding. I demand
that you mind your own business.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You're going to make me?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Why you little devil.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Like me?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Will you sit down and behave yourself?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I could kill you for that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You may yet, I better have myself inoculated against hydrophobia if.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I could get my hands on you. Don't you know
when you're well off.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You shouldn't let yourself be carried away like that, Jackie.
It's bad for your health. Put on that phone less and.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You Oh, I didn't think you're acouperative powers would be
that good now?
Speaker 10 (20:30):
And you never thought I might be carrying a gun?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
No hit me, would you?
Speaker 10 (20:35):
How do you like that, mister Wedding?
Speaker 9 (20:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:37):
You're like all the others, aren't you?
Speaker 11 (20:38):
You quick enough to push people around when you're stronger
than they are? Why don't you try it now?
Speaker 10 (20:42):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Thanks?
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Thanks? You're afraid, an't you?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A big strong man's afraid?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Careful Jackie? You're working yourself into a snatch.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Shut up if you.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Think I'm poor?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, I don't.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Had nothing to do with Julio dissentives.
Speaker 14 (20:54):
Do you understand if that's what you want, that's what
I want okay, And don't think you can hoax me either,
because I'll be watching every minute of the time, and
the minute you break your word, you'll be hearing from me.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Hello, are you Diane Halseen?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
That all depends now. If you were a bill collector,
I'd be silly to admit it.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh, you don't have to worry. My name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
That still tells me nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Well, if you want the story of my life, you'll
have to invite me in.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Is there any danger involved?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Well, I couldn't say for sure. I am a creature
of impulse.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Come in, thanks, say this is nice?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Oh never, while a lady is standing.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
I was just about to mix myself a drink. Will
you join me?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
If I can have a smir Off Martini about five
parts vodka to one of the moth.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That sounds like a good idea. You needed help, No,
I can mammge.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yes, I'll let you can.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Why don't you tell me about yourself?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Oh, I've hat a very dull life, Diane.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm a great believer in shortcuts.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
If I can see that you are, thank you. Just
what is your occupation, mister Werving?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'm with the American British assurance company doing what what
I'm doing now?
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Hm?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
That tastes good?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
You mean you get paid for this?
Speaker 11 (22:22):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Oh, this is my unexpected dividend. My job is to
make settlements on life insurance policies. I don't understand why
you say you were engaged to a man named Bruce Graham,
whom we ensure for five thousand pounds?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Would you mind repeating that?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Didn't you know you were one of the principal beneficiaries?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
This isn't a joke.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well do I look like the kind of a man
who would deceive a beautiful woman?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
When do I get the money?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Just as soon as we observe a few minor formalities.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well, by all means, let's observe them.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, as I said, Diane, you're one of the beneficiaries,
there's another And as soon as I can get a
release from him, you can cut the pie.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Graham told us we'd be able to locate him through you.
What's his name, jack Diamond?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
You're pretty clever. Bruce didn't even know Jackie.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
And the inspector was right. You did serve as the
connecting link you get out. Well, just brief me on this.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You people had under Sanders? Was he a coming?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Are you going to leave?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
All right? Diane?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
If once a man like me finds a girl like you,
you can't expect him to stay away.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I'll be seeing you Donald.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Now that's a story to Sanders. Now, have you any
idea who this Jack Diamond might be? No, Look, you
don't seem to realize you're on a spot. You know
they could hang you for Bruce Graham's murder. You say before,
there isn't any chance. There's always a chance. Now you
know who this Jack Diamond is. I swear it's the
boy who works for you. Ronnie Peyton, you crazy. Look,
(24:01):
According to your story, you met Graham for the first
time last week, so it stands to reason that whatever
he had on you came from a third party. And
the third party wasn't Diane Halsey. Course you didn't even
know her. So Ronnie Peyton must be our friend. Jack
Diamond be wrong.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Ronnie is like a son to me. Why would he
do this?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I told you he must have been the instigator of
the blackmail plot, and he was afraid that if you
latched down to Bruce Graham the whole story would come out.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Then you think Ronnie killed Grave?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yes, I do. Now where is he?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
If you friend? He inspect to say, it's okay, I
take you to him.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Hello, ron wasn't it nice of me to wait for you?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
How did you get in here, Diane?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
The door was open a line.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
That's no way to talk, Darling. After I came clear
a white chapel to warn you.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Me about what a man ain't wearing.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Well, he knows about you. At least he knows about
Jack Diamond. He's up to see me tonight.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
What did you tell him?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Nothing yet?
Speaker 10 (25:09):
What's that supposed to me?
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Really, Ronnie?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
This whole thing has been a terrible disappointment. Now it's
almost enough to make you believe crime doesn't pay.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
We got two thousand pounds from the status.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that, Darling. What did you
do with your share?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Why?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I'm afraid I'll have to borrow it.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
That's not fair. You know you'd never repay me.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, probably not, But then if I spend the money
on a took to Spain, I'd be in no position
to call wearing.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
You can't do this to me. It's blackmail.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
You should know I won't stand for it, Diland.
Speaker 14 (25:44):
You hear me, I won't stand for it.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
You'll fee.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
There's one type of catastrophe to which most of us
were exposed many times every day if we drive her
right on the highways. Because some drivers habitually travel on
the wrong side of the road. They pay no attention
to the painted lifelines of the highway that should never
be crossed. It's these drivers who often pay with their
lives for that foolhardy act. Drivers, though your life depends
(26:22):
on it, it does. And now back to the adventures
of the Falcon.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It's a funny thing about hunches.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
The first time I saw Diane Hawsey, something told me
I'd be seeing her again. Naturally, I didn't expect it
to be so soon, But the credit for bringing it
all belonged to the Santas. But when he brought inspected
Beechaman myself to Ronnie Peyton's little nests as she was,
of course she looked better at our first meeting, But
then she didn't have those bruises on it throat, and
that might have made a difference.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
Water tremendous waste of talent, isn't it. I think friend
Ronnie is responsible.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Oh don't you excuse it?
Speaker 10 (27:07):
Please?
Speaker 9 (27:08):
But can I say something?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Why not the Sanders? It's open for him tonight.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I think the lady is not dead, right, Joe, get
some water?
Speaker 14 (27:15):
Right?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Don't something we can do in meantimes?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah? Help me lift her on the sofa, easy, cano,
that's the way. Got the water well?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You look who's here?
Speaker 9 (27:25):
Rannie?
Speaker 10 (27:26):
Get away from it, Julia.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
You brought him here, you know. But what's that girl
doing on my sofa? And I hope you don't mind?
It was a draft on the floor.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Who is she?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Don't you know?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
If I did, I wouldn't ask who killed her?
Speaker 11 (27:39):
She's not dead?
Speaker 10 (27:40):
She isn't.
Speaker 15 (27:41):
No, But don't feel too badly, old thing. You still
got one murder. Your credit is the water welling.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Thanks you want, Diane.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
You've got to believe me, Inspector. I didn't kill Bruce Graham,
then who did? Diane?
Speaker 15 (27:53):
You know I rather suspected you'd say that, how's the
patient wearing?
Speaker 11 (27:57):
She'll be all right, I tell you she killed him naturally.
You've got an alibi for the time.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Yes, I was in a cinema in Lamhouse.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Oh how ordinary. I'm disappointed in you, Ronne.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But I can prove it with the attendant.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
You see, we had an argument and I reported him
to the manager.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
But you believe me, don't you, Julia.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Well, I don't know about him, Ronnie, but I do.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Come, well, now he's telling the truth. You mean this sure,
des Sanders. How could Ronnie have killed Bruce Graham when
we both know it was you? Hey, now we all know.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
You know, mister Wedding, you're quite talented in a peculiar
sort of way.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Why because I figured out that Dessander's was the killer?
Uh huh, I was simpled. I am.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Graham was murdered around seven point thirty and Dessander's claimed
at the time he was in his office with Ronnie
where Well, Ronnie had his own independent alibi. He was
at the cinema.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
But if the scientists killed groups at seven point thirty,
why did he keep that appointment at nine?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
We had to what reason could he get for not
showing up and you Graham was dead? Oh that would
really have ruined his acts.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
I see your poorn, good girl.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now, what I'd like to know is what you people
had understand as the start of the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Off.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
What do you all get?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Well, Communism is not lord here or in Italy, So
I got a hunt. He's a member of the other
end of the spectrum. I suppose he was a big
wheel und Mussolini then as a form of fascist A
lot of people might be interested in his whereabouts.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You are talented, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Oh, you have no idea. I know I'm the only
man in London who can do the Indian rough trick.
You mean you can make a body disappear just like that?
Speaker 11 (29:48):
You want me Wearing?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yes, she's all yours infector for black man.
Speaker 16 (29:52):
Why are you rotten?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I'm sorry, Angel, I know exactly how you feel, because
making a body like yours disappear is a dirty trick
on me too.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
The night Folks.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
The Case of the Strawberry Blonde. The Case of the
Strawberry Blonde. That's the title of next week's Adventure of
the Falcon, when Mike Wearing learns that when a gal
reaches for the peroxide, someone is bound to die. The
Adventures of the Falcon are based on the famous character
(30:37):
created by Drexel drag Or, used and transcribed by bernardel Schubert.
Written by Eugene Wang, and directed by Richard Lewis. Less
Damon was starred as the Falcon with Francis Cheney as Diane.
This program came from New York, Bred Collins speaking.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Welcome back, another really good episode. I thought it was
kind of obvious that Ronnie did it, but of course
I should have been aware that because of that he didn't.
I also like the plot twist of our criminal actually
having been involved with Mussolini while the Cold War was hot.
This was only seven years after World War Two ended,
(31:30):
so plenty of folks who were involved with the Nazis
and other fascists could be trying to dodge justice and
hide their past. Listener comments and fadeback, and we start
with a comment that came with one of the donations.

Where I do not see remain, I shall leave a.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Pine of view.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
But mister Romano, that would be very dangerous for you.
If you see, mister Romano, I should feel very guilty
about permitting you, a great opera in Presario, to walk
blindly into dangers here.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
What do you mean cha?
Speaker 16 (33:17):
At one time, mister Romano, you told me that perhaps
you had information which, while we might not realize, it,
would prove who murderer is. Do you recall, yes, yes,
that is the true and you must also realize that
while we may not know what that particular piece of
information is, most certainly the murderer does.
Speaker 11 (33:41):
Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 16 (33:43):
And further, mister Romano, since doctor Swan was killed because
he knew too much, he cannot afford to have the
same thing happen to you. So we must request if
you remain at Fine View in order.
Speaker 12 (33:57):
To protect you.
Speaker 16 (33:58):
So you cannot enforced me to say I'm afraid, yes
your manners, we shall not arrest you for murder of
opera singer, merely arrest you as material witnesses whom we
are afraid may fall victims and murderer who has already
perpetrated too vicious killing.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
There's one nice thing you.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Can say about working for Army intelligence. It teaches you
people are the same the world over. And I take,
for example, Diane Halsey. Ane's the gorgeous looking blond at
the corner table in Sherry the Swan cocktail bar in
London's West End. To look at her, you'd immediately suspect
something's wrong. She's not the kind of a girl you'd
expect to see alone. But that's purely a matter of choice.
(02:40):
Diane's only waiting for the right man to come.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Along, and here he comes. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm sorry if I kept your daughter.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
That's all right, Bruse, that don't lie.

Did you want to No?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I thought i'd wait for you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Sweet. What would you like?
Speaker 7 (02:54):
That all depends when I'm celebrating. I prefer champagne.
Speaker 8 (02:59):
Well, the night, I guess you'll have to settle for
something else. Why I didn't see dissants.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You didn't see dissantos.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Believe me, Diane. I tried, but I couldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
I knew I was wasting my time.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Take your hand off me, darling.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Please, you want to do as I asked, Just give
me a chance to explain.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I'm not interested. All I know is you threw away
two thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What makes you so positive?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Will you are depending solely on this Jack Diamond? Well,
so how do I know I can trust him?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I have even met the man I have?
Speaker 8 (03:35):
Well, what's his real name? You can't expect me to
believe that Jack Diamond isn't an ailus.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
Oh now look, Pruce.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Oh I'm getting at Diana's. How can you be certain
those foot statsy gave you are authentic?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
There's an accepted way to find out. How show them
to dessants if they're jitimate. Mister DeSantis will think that
two thousand pounds you're asking very reasonable.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Please don't make me do it.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
You call yourself from man where you're going, that's no
concern of yours this time. I would advise you to

Speaker 2 (06:35):
What are you up to?
Speaker 9 (06:37):
That's a funny question coming from you. I think I
behave very nice for somebody who's being blackmail.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Why didn't you kill me when you have the chance.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
I is not going to solve anything. Your friends know
you're here. My friends, Oh, you never convinced the Sanders
you're working alone. So I make the best of a
bad bargain. You got the money, I got the further stand.
But I doesn't think I want to do this again.
Mister Gay Please remember this.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
EH told you could do it.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
See Bruce, there was nothing to it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
He could have killed me, Diane.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
He could have shot ridiculous darling. He wouldn't dare not
with what we know about mister designer.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I wouldn't go through it again for twice the money?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
How about a hundred times?
Speaker 12 (07:34):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Don't you see the possibilities? This was just a test case.
Is you pought it out? Jack Diamond could have been mistaken?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Who is this Diamond chap?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Anyway, don't you boby a pretty little had about him.
I've got a right to know all you need know, darling?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Has he delivered the goods? Now we've got mister Desanders
right where we want him.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
But you promised, I promised what there would only be
this once that we take them?
Speaker 11 (08:00):
You go away.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Oh, don't be absurd, pet, Jack Diamond made a dozen
photostats and we'll sell them to mister Desanders one at
a time.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm not going to do it, Yes you will, I immediate, Diane,
so the one?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh Darling, Oh darling, I'm terribly sorry. Did I hurt you?
Speaker 10 (08:21):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Let me see there fear better? Yes, oh boothie, it
was your own fault.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
You shouldn't have fit me. But I forgive you. I'm
sure it won't happen again.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
The Satis and Company, I'd like.
Speaker 13 (08:48):
To speak with mister de Santans.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Please, who is this?
Speaker 13 (08:51):
Just tell them it's the chump who is up to
see him Sunday afternoon, Just a moment.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
It's for you, Julia.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Who is it?
Speaker 14 (09:00):
He didn't care to give his name. He said he
was up to see you Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
Ah, yeah, do you want to speak with him?
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Sure? Hello, that's right. How are you, Graham?
Speaker 13 (09:14):
Fine?
Speaker 9 (09:15):
That's good.
Speaker 13 (09:16):
You're probably wondering why I call now?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
How much is going to cost? This time? I asked
how much is going to cost the poor des Sanders?
Speaker 13 (09:26):
Twenty five thousand pounds? You hurt me?
Speaker 9 (09:30):
Oh sure, I mean just disappointed myself. I thought perhaps
your first try would be your last.
Speaker 13 (09:38):
I'm serious, disutters.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
I know you are.
Speaker 13 (09:41):
Have you ready at nine.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
O'clock my place again?
Speaker 13 (09:43):
No, you're familiar with Parkslop, no, Wembley.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
I'm fine.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
You better, and just so there'll be no mistake, I'll
be driving a blue Nosse convertible.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Hello. Hello, Graham.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Who was there?
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Just a fellow from business? Runnie? Julia?
Speaker 10 (10:02):
Is something wrong?
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Because it does?
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Any way I can help you.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
You're good boy, Runnie. You're making sport at me, No, honest,
But let me ask you something. Suppose that mister X
have papers that can make lots of trouble for you?
Speaker 10 (10:17):
What would you do you mean? If I were being
black mail I.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Think maybe we can call him that.
Speaker 14 (10:22):
Well, I'm not much of a hero, Julia. If I
were in a gem, i'd give this mister X whatever
he wanted.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
You're right, Rannie. In a case like this, there is
nothing to do but to give my friend what he
asks for. See, I always told you we think alike.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Hello, Diane, Why Jack Diamond of all people? Come on?
Speaker 10 (10:55):
He thanks?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
You know? This isn't very bright of you, Darling.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
I couldn't help myself. I'm worried.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Dane.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Well, it's about Graham. Needn't be he'll behave. He's going
to see the scientists now.
Speaker 10 (11:06):
He mustn't, mustn't.
Speaker 14 (11:08):
Julia is simply furious. I refuse to run the risk
of having him discovered that I'm involved.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Seems such a shame to quit now.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I won't hear it.
Speaker 10 (11:17):
Graham mustn't see the siders.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
Now.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
Are you going to stop him? Or shall I?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
You are not leaving me much choice, darling, But let
me think about it for a little while. I'll let
you know when I reach a decision.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
One one.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Hotel Carla, mister wearing please, Michael Wearing, Hello, mister wearring.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
My name is Bruce Graham.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Bruce Graham.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You don't know me, but.
Speaker 13 (11:59):
But you that might be worth my while if I did.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yes, I live at for twenty seven Charleston West, that's
what if picket day?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
How soon can you be over?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Not so fast? What's this all about?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, it's about something you should be interested in. You're
with American intelligence, don't you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
How did you find that out?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
The same way I found out you were staying at the.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Carlisle, which of course tells me nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It wasn't meant to.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
I'll fill you in on with the tails as soon
as you get here, but it's got to be before nine.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
Oh, this is all kind of vague, fella. I don't
think I can make it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You've got to. You don't understand. Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
What? What are you doing here?
Speaker 13 (12:34):
You've said hello, Graham, you've said Graham, what's going on here?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
We can't win a war, or a political campaign, or
even a piece without a slogan, but it helps in
a big way to do the job ahead. A good
slogan makes people think. If it's repeated and repeated until
it becomes part of our language, and if the thought
it expresses becomes part of our lives and our daily actions.
Then that slogan does what it's intended to do. Take,
(13:11):
for instance, the universal slogan safety first all moorderer should
be sure to follow the tip of the best current
slogan for them drivers, though your life depends on it,
it does. Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Tell.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
As one thing travel teaches you, telephone companies are the
same in England as.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They are in America.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But I had a hunch that more than the line
was dead here, so I hustled over to four twenty
seven Charleston. When I walked in, there was no question
that someone had Bruce Graham's number. He was lying on
the floor with two neat little holes in his head.
There was nothing I could do for him. So I
made myself at home and looked around. Then in the
corner of the room I saw it, it being a
(14:04):
thirty eight cult automatic. I pulled out a handkerchief and
picked it up. That was my first mistake. I didn't
have time to make a second.
Speaker 15 (14:12):
I say, oh, man, what I wouldn't do that. You're
tampering with evidence. I don't think the police would approve. Oh,
I wouldn't be too sure, I would. I'm inspected to
beat him of the CID.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh well, glad, no, you inspected him.
Speaker 15 (14:25):
You're just saying that to make me feel comfortable, boy,
But please don't bother I'm quite accustomed to this sort
of thing.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And now, just a minute, you don't think I had
anything to do with this. My name is Mike Wearing.
I'm with American Intelligence. If you'd like to see my credentials,
i'd love to.
Speaker 15 (14:40):
This is to thirty five and Michael Willings. It was
most impressive. What was your connection with mister Graham?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
He called me in my hotel about twenty minutes ago,
said he had to see me. In the middle of
the dialogue, I heard two shots, and naturally you dashed over.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Naturally.
Speaker 11 (14:54):
What do you suppose the put chap wanted?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't know, but it must have had something to
do with security measures. He knew I was with American Intelligence.
Speaker 15 (15:02):
Obviously he felt the CID was hardly as efficient.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
You don't believe me, Why, my dear.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Boy, It never occurred to me to doubt you.
Speaker 15 (15:10):
Still, you must admit it's rather suspicious finding you standing
over a body wiping off finger.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I wasn't wiping them off.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I was just examining the gun because look, I tell
you Graham was frightened of something. He claimed he had
to see me before nine. Why, well, I can only guess.
But what do you make of this note I found
scribbled near the phone?
Speaker 11 (15:30):
The Saunders nine Parslow Wembley.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Must have had an appointment to meet this disantus there.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
But yeah, but I don't think he'll keep it.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
No, but I can now what do you say, inspector?
Speaker 11 (15:42):
Well, it might be a nice touch, sort of a
fitting me more ill.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Don't you know?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
All right?
Speaker 15 (15:47):
Welling, you keep that appointment for Graham and I'll keep
an eye on you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Santass what I tried. She certainly did get out of
the car. Now wait a minute, Sorry, I don't have time.
That gunloaded.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
What do you think I think I better get out?
Speaker 9 (16:19):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If not, Bruce Gray, That's what I tried to tell you.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Name? Is Wearing? Mike Wearing and with American intelligence?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Oh, I'm sorry, you see, I expect someone else.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Bruce Graham said, right, Oh, Graham couldn't make it.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
What's the worst you can think of?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Murder?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Thanks to Santos? You just want a bet for me
I had to hunt your mind would run along those lines.
You understand, of course, mister designed us that.
Speaker 15 (16:51):
We have no desire to intimidate you, But if you'd
like to make a confession, you'll find us most appreciative.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
You're crazy expect that. I know, kid Graham? What the
reason I got?
Speaker 15 (17:00):
And I'm glad to ask me that because I've come
to the conclusion he was blackmailing away.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I hardly even know the fellow.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Then why did you arrange that appointment to beat him tonight?
Speaker 9 (17:09):
I don't arrange him Graham does. He said, you want
to see me on business?
Speaker 11 (17:14):
And exactly what is that business?
Speaker 9 (17:15):
I'm important, Olivoi? Why things like this?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
And where were you when Graham was done in?
Speaker 9 (17:21):
How should I know what time it happened?
Speaker 11 (17:24):
What time was it wearing?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Not seven thirty?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
At past seven? True? I was in my office.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Anybody with him?
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Just Runny Runnie, Runny Peyton. It's a nice young boy
who work.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
For me, that check inspector.
Speaker 11 (17:37):
Well, that's hard to say. Friend. Ronnie is apparently vanished.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
What do you mean vanished?
Speaker 11 (17:43):
She disappeared? Perhaps you can tell us why.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Well, Rannie is very sensitive. Maybe all this publicity make
him nervous.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So it takes off when you need him most.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
And how donn he gonna know I need him for alibi?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
How indeed, I'm ann inspector. There's something that doesn't add
up here and does for me.
Speaker 15 (18:02):
Mister Desanders had an appointment with Graham when you kept it.
He greeted you with open arms and a loaded revolver.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And so that's just it.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Why should he take a gun to me at nine
under the impression I'm Graham If he killed Graham anine
and a half earlier, I'm much obliged mister Weddy alrightly
to make it up to me.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Now, why was Graham blackmailing you?
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Wasn't?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Are you affiliated with the Communist Party?
Speaker 12 (18:24):
Me?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Of course not?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Or what other reason could Graham have for getting in
touch with me?
Speaker 9 (18:28):
How should I know?
Speaker 10 (18:30):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
When you think of an answer, give me a ring.
I'm at the Carlisle, I mean out, inspector.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm going home.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Oh, come in, mister Wedding.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
I suppose you think this is very forward of me.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
No, there's nothing I like better than having people drop
in and announced.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
Who are you, Jack Diamond?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Jack Diamond? You must be quite a card.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
That isn't very funny.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I know I'm pressing. What can I do for you, Jackie?
Speaker 10 (19:02):
No, you might ask me to sit down.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I don't think you'll be staying long if you're going
to be in sutting.
Speaker 14 (19:08):
Yes, no, I'm not going to get angry.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
You thought I would, didn't you.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I had hopes.
Speaker 14 (19:16):
You don't seem to understand, mister wedding. I'm here to
do you a favor. Supposing I told you there's a
communist cell in Paris.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
There must be thousands.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
Well, I can give you the names of a dozen
members or with high positions in government. How soon can
you leave or when would you like me to Well,
there's a seven o'clock flight to Paris, and by an
ard coincidence, you happened to have made a reservation for me. Well,
so that's awfully sweet of your Jackie, but you shouldn't
have bothered. I suppose you tell me why you're so
anxious for me to leave London.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
I told you I hate communists.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yes, well let's have the real reason.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
All right. You're investigating Bruce Graham's murder.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Oh, I wouldn't put it quite that way.
Speaker 14 (19:54):
I would it doesn't concern you, mister Wedding. I demand
that you mind your own business.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You're going to make me?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Why you little devil.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Like me?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Will you sit down and behave yourself?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I could kill you for that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You may yet, I better have myself inoculated against hydrophobia if.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I could get my hands on you. Don't you know
when you're well off.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You shouldn't let yourself be carried away like that, Jackie.
It's bad for your health. Put on that phone less and.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You Oh, I didn't think you're acouperative powers would be
that good now?
Speaker 10 (20:30):
And you never thought I might be carrying a gun?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
No hit me, would you?
Speaker 10 (20:35):
How do you like that, mister Wedding?
Speaker 9 (20:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:37):
You're like all the others, aren't you?
Speaker 11 (20:38):
You quick enough to push people around when you're stronger
than they are? Why don't you try it now?
Speaker 10 (20:42):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Thanks?
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Thanks? You're afraid, an't you?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A big strong man's afraid?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Careful Jackie? You're working yourself into a snatch.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Shut up if you.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Think I'm poor?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, I don't.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Had nothing to do with Julio dissentives.
Speaker 14 (20:54):
Do you understand if that's what you want, that's what
I want okay, And don't think you can hoax me either,
because I'll be watching every minute of the time, and
the minute you break your word, you'll be hearing from me.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Hello, are you Diane Halseen?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
That all depends now. If you were a bill collector,
I'd be silly to admit it.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh, you don't have to worry. My name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
That still tells me nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Well, if you want the story of my life, you'll
have to invite me in.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Is there any danger involved?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Well, I couldn't say for sure. I am a creature
of impulse.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Come in, thanks, say this is nice?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Oh never, while a lady is standing.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
I was just about to mix myself a drink. Will
you join me?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
If I can have a smir Off Martini about five
parts vodka to one of the moth.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That sounds like a good idea. You needed help, No,
I can mammge.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yes, I'll let you can.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Why don't you tell me about yourself?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Oh, I've hat a very dull life, Diane.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm a great believer in shortcuts.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
If I can see that you are, thank you. Just
what is your occupation, mister Werving?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'm with the American British assurance company doing what what
I'm doing now?
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Hm?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
That tastes good?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
You mean you get paid for this?
Speaker 11 (22:22):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Oh, this is my unexpected dividend. My job is to
make settlements on life insurance policies. I don't understand why
you say you were engaged to a man named Bruce Graham,
whom we ensure for five thousand pounds?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Would you mind repeating that?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Didn't you know you were one of the principal beneficiaries?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
This isn't a joke.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well do I look like the kind of a man
who would deceive a beautiful woman?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
When do I get the money?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Just as soon as we observe a few minor formalities.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well, by all means, let's observe them.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, as I said, Diane, you're one of the beneficiaries,
there's another And as soon as I can get a
release from him, you can cut the pie.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Graham told us we'd be able to locate him through you.
What's his name, jack Diamond?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
You're pretty clever. Bruce didn't even know Jackie.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
And the inspector was right. You did serve as the
connecting link you get out. Well, just brief me on this.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You people had under Sanders? Was he a coming?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Are you going to leave?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
All right? Diane?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
If once a man like me finds a girl like you,
you can't expect him to stay away.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I'll be seeing you Donald.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Now that's a story to Sanders. Now, have you any
idea who this Jack Diamond might be? No, Look, you
don't seem to realize you're on a spot. You know
they could hang you for Bruce Graham's murder. You say before,
there isn't any chance. There's always a chance. Now you
know who this Jack Diamond is. I swear it's the
boy who works for you. Ronnie Peyton, you crazy. Look,
(24:01):
According to your story, you met Graham for the first
time last week, so it stands to reason that whatever
he had on you came from a third party. And
the third party wasn't Diane Halsey. Course you didn't even
know her. So Ronnie Peyton must be our friend. Jack
Diamond be wrong.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Ronnie is like a son to me. Why would he
do this?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I told you he must have been the instigator of
the blackmail plot, and he was afraid that if you
latched down to Bruce Graham the whole story would come out.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Then you think Ronnie killed Grave?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yes, I do. Now where is he?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
If you friend? He inspect to say, it's okay, I
take you to him.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Hello, ron wasn't it nice of me to wait for you?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
How did you get in here, Diane?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
The door was open a line.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
That's no way to talk, Darling. After I came clear
a white chapel to warn you.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Me about what a man ain't wearing.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Well, he knows about you. At least he knows about
Jack Diamond. He's up to see me tonight.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
What did you tell him?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Nothing yet?
Speaker 10 (25:09):
What's that supposed to me?
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Really, Ronnie?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
This whole thing has been a terrible disappointment. Now it's
almost enough to make you believe crime doesn't pay.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
We got two thousand pounds from the status.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that, Darling. What did you
do with your share?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
Why?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I'm afraid I'll have to borrow it.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
That's not fair. You know you'd never repay me.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, probably not, But then if I spend the money
on a took to Spain, I'd be in no position
to call wearing.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
You can't do this to me. It's blackmail.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
You should know I won't stand for it, Diland.
Speaker 14 (25:44):
You hear me, I won't stand for it.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
You'll fee.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
There's one type of catastrophe to which most of us
were exposed many times every day if we drive her
right on the highways. Because some drivers habitually travel on
the wrong side of the road. They pay no attention
to the painted lifelines of the highway that should never
be crossed. It's these drivers who often pay with their
lives for that foolhardy act. Drivers, though your life depends
(26:22):
on it, it does. And now back to the adventures
of the Falcon.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It's a funny thing about hunches.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
The first time I saw Diane Hawsey, something told me
I'd be seeing her again. Naturally, I didn't expect it
to be so soon, But the credit for bringing it
all belonged to the Santas. But when he brought inspected
Beechaman myself to Ronnie Peyton's little nests as she was,
of course she looked better at our first meeting, But
then she didn't have those bruises on it throat, and
that might have made a difference.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
Water tremendous waste of talent, isn't it. I think friend
Ronnie is responsible.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Oh don't you excuse it?
Speaker 10 (27:07):
Please?
Speaker 9 (27:08):
But can I say something?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Why not the Sanders? It's open for him tonight.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I think the lady is not dead, right, Joe, get
some water?
Speaker 14 (27:15):
Right?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Don't something we can do in meantimes?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah? Help me lift her on the sofa, easy, cano,
that's the way. Got the water well?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You look who's here?
Speaker 9 (27:25):
Rannie?
Speaker 10 (27:26):
Get away from it, Julia.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
You brought him here, you know. But what's that girl
doing on my sofa? And I hope you don't mind?
It was a draft on the floor.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Who is she?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Don't you know?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
If I did, I wouldn't ask who killed her?
Speaker 11 (27:39):
She's not dead?
Speaker 10 (27:40):
She isn't.
Speaker 15 (27:41):
No, But don't feel too badly, old thing. You still
got one murder. Your credit is the water welling.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Thanks you want, Diane.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
You've got to believe me, Inspector. I didn't kill Bruce Graham,
then who did? Diane?
Speaker 15 (27:53):
You know I rather suspected you'd say that, how's the
patient wearing?
Speaker 11 (27:57):
She'll be all right, I tell you she killed him naturally.
You've got an alibi for the time.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Yes, I was in a cinema in Lamhouse.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Oh how ordinary. I'm disappointed in you, Ronne.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But I can prove it with the attendant.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
You see, we had an argument and I reported him
to the manager.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
But you believe me, don't you, Julia.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Well, I don't know about him, Ronnie, but I do.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Come, well, now he's telling the truth. You mean this sure,
des Sanders. How could Ronnie have killed Bruce Graham when
we both know it was you? Hey, now we all know.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
You know, mister Wedding, you're quite talented in a peculiar
sort of way.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Why because I figured out that Dessander's was the killer?
Uh huh, I was simpled. I am.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Graham was murdered around seven point thirty and Dessander's claimed
at the time he was in his office with Ronnie
where Well, Ronnie had his own independent alibi. He was
at the cinema.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
But if the scientists killed groups at seven point thirty,
why did he keep that appointment at nine?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
We had to what reason could he get for not
showing up and you Graham was dead? Oh that would
really have ruined his acts.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
I see your poorn, good girl.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now, what I'd like to know is what you people
had understand as the start of the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Off.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
What do you all get?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Well, Communism is not lord here or in Italy, So
I got a hunt. He's a member of the other
end of the spectrum. I suppose he was a big
wheel und Mussolini then as a form of fascist A
lot of people might be interested in his whereabouts.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You are talented, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Oh, you have no idea. I know I'm the only
man in London who can do the Indian rough trick.
You mean you can make a body disappear just like that?
Speaker 11 (29:48):
You want me Wearing?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yes, she's all yours infector for black man.
Speaker 16 (29:52):
Why are you rotten?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I'm sorry, Angel, I know exactly how you feel, because
making a body like yours disappear is a dirty trick
on me too.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
The night Folks.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
The Case of the Strawberry Blonde. The Case of the
Strawberry Blonde. That's the title of next week's Adventure of
the Falcon, when Mike Wearing learns that when a gal
reaches for the peroxide, someone is bound to die. The
Adventures of the Falcon are based on the famous character
(30:37):
created by Drexel drag Or, used and transcribed by bernardel Schubert.
Written by Eugene Wang, and directed by Richard Lewis. Less
Damon was starred as the Falcon with Francis Cheney as Diane.
This program came from New York, Bred Collins speaking.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Welcome back, another really good episode. I thought it was
kind of obvious that Ronnie did it, but of course
I should have been aware that because of that he didn't.
I also like the plot twist of our criminal actually
having been involved with Mussolini while the Cold War was hot.
This was only seven years after World War Two ended,
(31:30):
so plenty of folks who were involved with the Nazis
and other fascists could be trying to dodge justice and
hide their past. Listener comments and fadeback, and we start
with a comment that came with one of the donations.

Speaker 16 (32:57):
Where I do not see remain, I shall leave a.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Pine of view.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
But mister Romano, that would be very dangerous for you.
If you see, mister Romano, I should feel very guilty
about permitting you, a great opera in Presario, to walk
blindly into dangers here.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
What do you mean cha?
Speaker 16 (33:17):
At one time, mister Romano, you told me that perhaps
you had information which, while we might not realize, it,
would prove who murderer is. Do you recall, yes, yes,
that is the true and you must also realize that
while we may not know what that particular piece of
information is, most certainly the murderer does.
Speaker 11 (33:41):
Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 16 (33:43):
And further, mister Romano, since doctor Swan was killed because
he knew too much, he cannot afford to have the
same thing happen to you. So we must request if
you remain at Fine View in order.
Speaker 12 (33:57):
To protect you.
Speaker 16 (33:58):
So you cannot enforced me to say I'm afraid, yes
your manners, we shall not arrest you for murder of
opera singer, merely arrest you as material witnesses whom we
are afraid may fall victims and murderer who has already
perpetrated too vicious killing.
