the fight? Yeah, she was there. I didn't see you don't think
she's in New York. A detective in Chicago, ser buy a ticket to
New York. Maybe she went on through Florida. Maybe I think she is
here. I wouldn't have come all the way from La if I wasn't pretty
sure. Well, what should we do? I've already wired Mike wearing the
falking hat. You don't want that bird snooping into your activities, heme,
On, all I'm going to have him do is locate the girl. And
I don't like it. You know, Hagen, Sometimes I get the idea
you don't want me to fan? Kay? What now? Look the election.
I turned the town inside out trying to find her. I hope you
did me because if I find out you are lying, you are the one
that's going to be tanned inside out? How are you doing it? To
ring? Hello? You must be a electro, that's right. Come in
the night trip, my dad? Well, what can I do for you?
I want you to find my sister? So you sat in your wire?
What can you give me on her? Here's a picture? Me?
When did you last see her? In Los Angeles? Two weeks ago?
And she disappeared without any warning? Man? Do you have any reason to
run away? I said? I know? What makes you think she's in
New York? Well? I thought you might have gone to Chicago. She
used to live there, so I sent her picture to a Chicago detective.
He located her, but before I could get there, she bought a ticket
to New York and paid it again. If you notified the police, No,
I don't want her to get the idea I think she's done anything wrong.
Why are you smiling to Wayne? I didn't realize I was. So
you have a detective looking for her in Chicago and me in New York?
Anybody else? Well, some of my boys looking for boys or fellows.
Who works for me? Doing what works for me? My business? What
is your business? What's that got to do with this? You never know,
Wearing. I didn't come here for a third degree. You came here
to get me to find someone for you. So I have to know things
about her and you. What do you want to know? Why you've been
lying for me? You say you haven't any idea why she disappeared, but
still you're sure right away it's a long distance fade off. You don't want
the police in it. You burn when I ask what business you're in?
I don't like the way it adds up, all right, Wearing, you
don't want that job? Sorry, I bother If you who says, I
don't want a job. You just said you were lying. But if that
picture does the girl justice, I still could be persuaded to look for her.
You know something wearng somehow I don't think outside to such wage. You
know something Alexo. Somehow I didn't think you would. Hello, Okay,
Higgins, how come a girl of your looks is eating Along? Maybe I
like it that way? Nobody likes Steve Along. I'll join you. How
don't you know where to find me? Maybe I followed you last night?
I found out where you're standing, not unless you're invisible. I made sure
I wasn't followed. Well here I am. I see what would you do
if I those your Alexos in town? But did you know where I am?
Not yet? Thank Heaven, Thank heaven, Thank me. Cave man.
Know just how you can show your gratitude? Oh you do? Yeah?
If you have seventy five grand I like those money. But I'm a
generous guy. I'll let you keep fifty of it. Thank you, Hagen.
I mention it to finish your lunch. We'll go pick up my twenty
five. Can I get time to think it over? But do you have
to think? You don't want to keep fifty thousands and you keep nothing.
All right, I'll bring you the money tonight. Oh no, you don't.
I'm not letting you out of my sight that I have the cash in
my hands, not giving you a chance to run away again. You don't
miss any tricks, do you. I can't afford to my bit of grand
slam, believe me. Kay, I'm gonna make it. What's beyond?
He is going on the alley. Usually no parking places on the street.
So I leave the car here and so in the backway. Okay, go
get it done, all right? Wait a minute, your fox too close
to the building. I can't get out here. Slide over, you can
get out on this slide. I'll get out first, okay. I hope
you don't have the bright idea that you make a break for it while I'm
trying to get out, because if you do, I'm what. Oh okay,
you dirty ratt. What's the matter? You know, what's the matter?
Get out of my way. I'm coming in. I don't know if
you'd only town. I suppose you didn't tip Hagen where to find me?
Well, why would I do that? You did it? You must know?
Why? Wait a minute, well, where'd you get that gun from?
Hagen? How we tried to make a deal with me twenty five thousand
not to tip ale extro. I played alone. What happened? We drove
into the alley behind my building and he was getting out of the car.
I clouded him with a flashlight. Then I got his gun. You get
quite a girl. I can take care of myself, and I can take
care of anybody who tries to cross my I didn't cross your baby. You
gotta believe that, maybe maybe not. Anyway, Alexo still doesn't know where
I am, and you are not tipping warm. Of course, I'm glad
we're agreed on that, but just to make showing, I don't be careful
with that gun that right where you are. You'll try to get to that
window. You're not getting out of here. There's always the window. Hello.
Hello, Okay, Well that was a great stunch you pulled. Yeah,
lucky, I only live on the second floor. Anyway, it was
better than getting shot. I wasn't going to shoot you. I want now,
all right, what do you want? I've been looking for Hagen.
Finally found him. He did. Yeah, he's still in the alley where
you left. Him. He was a sure pack of wallats and give him
everything I could. You sure did, well, Why are you calling?
I thought I ought to tip you off. Even if you do think I
double cross, you tip me off to what police have already found. Hagen,
You're gonna blow. You'll have to hurry. Why should I blow?
Well, you have a story ready in case they call on you. You're
not calling on me. Hagen won't tell them anything about me. I know
too much about him and a LETSI. You're right, Hagen won't tell the
police anything. But the reason he won't tell him isn't that he's afraid,
is that he's dead. When sudden death calls wearing a white tie and leaving
a calling card in the form of a forty five caliber slug, it's frequently
just another case for the falcon. But when wholesale disaster threatens the community,
that's the time when everyone thinks. In terms of the Red Cross, the
nineteen forty nine Red Cross Campaign has set its sights on the sum of sixty
million dollars to assault the problems that lie ahead this year. The increased total
of disasters in the last year, the expanding national blood program, the large
number of community services. All these require greater Red Cross efforts, made possible
only by the financial support and volunteer participation of the people. Remember this,
You, through your contributions and voluntary action, are the Red Cross providing a
channel through which compassion and mercy find expression in the relief of human suffering.
You too, can help through your Red Cross. I'll back to the adventures
of the Falcon. It's a couple of hours since the body of Pagan was
found in an alley behind the apartment house where Kay Davis lives. Now.
Peter Alexo, the client whom Mike Wearing had rejected, was once again at
Wearing's door. H Oh you again, I like something? Yes, may
I come in? I want to talk to him? Okay, all right,
what is it, Wearing? I don't suppose I could persuade you to
forget my visit to you this morning? Persuade me? How money? Why?
I have my reasons? What would it cost for you to forget that?
Give usaw me? Sorry? I like so, my memory is too
good and I was afraid you take this attitude. Well, then, Wearing,
there's just one thing to do. Gotta be cobbed on the table.
But it's above time. Wearing that girl I wanted you to find. Yeah,
she is not my sister. Surprised she was my girlfriend ran away with
another man. I want her back, mm hmm, but I don't intend
to risk a murderer to get her. Where does murder come in. I
had one of my boys, Joey Haying, looking for k seemed to found
it. According to the paper, he's been murdered, and you figure she
did it. I don't know, Wearing. How about her boyfriend of possibility?
I want you to look into it, all right, as long as
you don't start acting KOI again. I can't. Now the police are bound
to find out Hagen was on my payroll. You figure the police will think
you killed him if we don't find the girl. I'm the only person in
New York had any connection with him. Uh huh. What I'd like would
be to hop a plane back to the coast and make like I've never been
here, but that would require your cooperation. I haven't been able to buy
that, So your next best bet is to get me to crack the case
for him. All right, least I'm k only now, whatever I find
out I turn over to the police instead. Up to you. Whatever you
say, all right, so I'll do what I can't good I would feel
last thanks. I'm considering what happened to the last fella who tracked down your
girl for you. I'm going to need it. Homicides scribetanic Grason speaking wearing
salry wearing. We don't have a thing for you. Do you know you
don't know what I want? I know what we've got for your two moneys.
You want to be able to give me something. On the Hagen case,
I told you I don't have any suspects a girl, but Gleason,
you interest me strangely before you start dancing in the streets wearing. We don't
have very much on her, only that Hagen was found in an alley behind
the building where she lives. Her address was in his pocket, but she
claims she didn't know him. We can't prove different. We're checking. Don't
mind that. What does she look like? One bleach? About five five,
good looking but a little on the husky side per day? Where can
I find her at home? I guess we're not holding her yet, but
what girls, Mike, I'll let you know after I've seen her, and
if she's who I think she is the answer to your question is plenty.
What do you want you are? And what the girl in the picture?
What pictures that Alextro showed me? What? I don't know what you're talking
about. I don't know any Alectro. Well, let me come in and
I'll tell you all about it. You don't, uh, Then I go
to the police and tell them that the Karen Darrence they questioned is really Kay
Davis of Los Angeles, and Joey Hagen came to New York for the express
purpose of finding it. You win, come in. Thanks, and now,
mister wearing Mike wearing the Fultons, you were working for Alexe. The
police know about him yet, not yet, but I'll have to turn what
I have over to them pretty soon. I don't think you will. That's
not very smart pulling a gun. I'm not gonna talk, all right,
I don't talk. The police have a corpse, they'll check on his background.
It'll lead them to election, and that'll lead them to you. I'll
know what to do. I have to have time to think. He should
have thought before you killed Hagen. I didn't kill him. He came here
to see you, yes, and you didn't want him to report back to
Alexe. He wasn't going to report back. Why not? He wanted me
to pay him not to, and you agreed. I was going to think
it over, but killing him was a cheaper out. I tell you I
didn't kill him. I want to ask you something to Wearing. Go ahead.
What is Alecto paying you? Why? Whatever it is, I'll double
it. It's'll work for me. Sounds like the same deal Hagen Gun,
and look what happened to him. No, no, I've given up trying
to get away from Alecto. I see it's no use. But I'm on
a spot with a murder. Maybe you can help clear me. Maybe unless
you're guilty, I'm not well what do you think? All right? Kay?
You've hired yourself a detective? Hello? Huh, you must be big
Jones. Who are you, Mike Wearing? What do you want you?
If you are Jones, you fit Kay's description. I've been waiting in front
of the building for you to come home. Kay, sent I'm working for
her. Why did she send you here? As a matter of fact,
she didn't. That was my idea. She wants me to work on the
Hagen case. I thought you might know something What would I know, Lenny,
if you're the murderer, why would I want to kill Hagen? You
wanted K for yourself, Alexa wanted her back, Hagen found her for him.
You could have killed Hagen to keep him from reporting. There's only one
trouble with that, Wearing? Yeah, what can I had already split up
last night, So why should I care? If a like self founder?
It looks like my client has been holding back on me. Unless you're lying
if you don't believe me, asked Kay, I may do that at first.
I'd like to ask you a few more questions. Yeah, yeah,
sure, But I'm not stand out here on this straight. We can we
can go inside, all right. I don't understand Wearing. If if you're
working for K, how come you thought I killed Hagen? Why shouldn't I?
I didn't know you and she had split up? But didn't she tell
you what happened with Hagen? What did happen? Oh? If you don't
know, I'm not saying I've had enough trouble with Kay. She thought I
kept Hagen off about her. I think I've convinced her I I didn't by
now, but I'm not gonna give her any other reason to blow up?
Oh she blew up? Huh? Yeah, Well why did she care if
Hagan found her? Since you'd already split with you on account of the seventy
five grand? But what's seventy five grand? Well didn't she tell you that
either? Well, she didn't tell you much seems nuts. Well in that
case, there's not much I can do for you either. But if you
know anything, we are no use wearing. I'm not talking, so you
might as well run along. Oh no, not yet. Well I tell
you I'm not good. What's the matter. There's somebody in the bedroom.
I'm gonna go see who's there, But I don't hear anything. Chose Okay,
the windows open, the fire escape, see, I don't know,
I don't know. Darkt there. Wait a minute, there's someone in the
courtyard and the shatters. Hey you down there, stop? Stop? Oh
Kate, how you ask for it? There's high Western action adventure for you

A'll back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes have passed since Mike
Wearing and Bick Jones surprised an intruder in Jones's a park. Now in another
part of town, Kay Davis stands outside the door of a hotel room.
Okay, hello, Alexo, this is a surprise. I thought it would
be. Come in all right. I see you'll never give up, Alexo,
and I'm tired of running and here I am good. Tell me something?
Was it me or the money? That you were really active? Don't
you know you're like a truth I know Bobby talked. I really had it
bed with that Krumvich. It's all over now. I'm glad to hear that.
Now we can go back and pick up where we let go. Aren't
you forgetting something? What a little matter of murder? All that's right,
But I think I know how we can take care of that if we play
it right, stick together. We ought to be able to pin this on
Vic Jones. Ah tried this on beside seventy five grand. Suppose I'm not
the one who took it from the victim and ran off with me. But
I didn't know it was your money. Couldn't you say that then? So
you weren't really looking for me. You were looking for Vic. The only
reason you tried to find me was that I could lead you to Vict.
Oh, sure, I get it. Then when Hagen found you, Vic
had to kill him to keep me away from the two of you. That's
it. Gives him a motor. Yeah. I've already started on it.
I've prided your bakcase the one I took the money in in Vict's apartment to
night. He almost caught me at it, but I got away. Great,
I think we can make it stick. Now this calls for a drink
beautiful celebration. Uh, I don't know. But whoever it is, remember
our story. Sure kiddo. Sure? Hello, Like so I thought I
ought a report. Yeah, I come in wearing of course, come in.
Thanks. Oh my other clients here too. We are good. Hello,
Okay, hello you other times? Yeah, I have no objection to
a double fee, since you both want me to do the same job.
Cracked Hagan's murder. Okay, why didn't you tell me you were the one
who beat Hagen's head in? What? Who told you that? Vick?
No, he must've He's the only one who what who knew? And don't
reach till that gun again? Killing that's better as a matter of fact,
Hey, nobody told me, But you told me yourself. Hagen found you
and he wouldn't have let you get away from him again unless he couldn't help
himself. You admitted you didn't pay him. Well, I didn't mean to
kill him. It was an accident. I just wanted to knock him out
so I could get away. She killed him, but I thought no,
like so she didn't, but she thought she did. That's why she's been
so hysterical. I've checked for the police. Hagan's head was covered with blood,
but there was no blood in the alley where he was found. That
means he was killed somewhere else and brought there. But how does that mean
that Kay didn't the planet of the body right behind her own apartment building?
It but a point two directly toward her. I see, But Dick knew
I'd not Hagen out in the el, so he brought the body there to
frame it was not necessarily Hagen recovered left. He could have told anyone else
what happened. That's right, But who else would have wanted to kill Hagen?
How about you, Alexe me? Hagen double crossed you. You wanted
revenge, you killed it. I didn't. I didn't know about the double
cross when you tried to frame k No use, Alexo. All I need
is a few more answers from Kay and I'll have all the facts I need.
And now that she realizes how you tried to frame her, I think
she'll give them to him. Well, this is this wearing. I hired
you to clear me. You hire me to solve the case, Alexe,
And that's exactly what I'm doing to frame me. Oh that's right, Joe.
Now I'm sure grad you saw through it. How did you know Alexo
was the murderer? Well, I didn't. I was just feeling my way.
First I eliminated Kay. The body being planted in the alley cleared her.
Yeah, yeah, you told me. But then there was one fact
I had to get straight. What was that? How Alexo and Kay got
together? Kay could tell me, but I had to make sure she was
telling the truth, and that's why I accused Alexo. Why Yeah, because
if she thought Alexo was the murderer and that he had tried to frame her,
then she wouldn't try to protect him. So I accused him, and
then I asked how Alexo found her. She said he didn't find her,
that she went to see him herself tonight. So why don't you see Alexo
wanted to find Kay and his seventy five thousand dollars. Hagen knew where Kay
was, so Alexo would never have killed Hagen until Hagen had talked, and
he obviously hadn't talked because Alexo was still looking for her, which means Alexo
didn't kill Hagen either. But if he didn't, If he didn't and Kay
didn't, that just leaves Yeah, that's right you Jones, But why would
I? I can't try to kill you because she thought you tipped Hagen off
about where to find it. You denied tipping him. You hope to convince
Kay of your denial, but you couldn't if Hagen told her the truth.
You killed him to shut him up. Well, there it is, Isn't
it a shame? Jones? What that they went to the trouble of trying
to frame you when you were guilty the whole time. Death is a one
armed bandit. Death is a one armed bandit. That's the title of next
week's Adventure of the Falcon, when Mike Wearing learns that when it comes to
slot machines, there's more than one way to make a killing. So be
sure to listen next week at this time to another exciting adventure of the Falcon.
The Adventures of the Falcon are based on the famous character created by Drexel
Drake, produced by Bernard L. Hubert, written Tonight by Gene Wang and
directed by Richard Lewis, music by Emerson Buckley composed by Richard DuPage. Less
Tremaine was starred as the Falcon, with Beverly Roberts as Kate Russ Dunbar speaking.
