Well, it's another Monday and time 11 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,799 to introduce another new actor playing the Falcon al, though this one is going 12 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:33,200 to be the last one for a while. In many ways, The Falcon 13 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,079 is reminiscent of other New York based programs that ran for a really, really 14 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,560 long time featured many actors in the lead role, only left behind a few 15 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:53,599 episodes. Examples include The Thinman, The Amazing Mister Malone, and the Adventures 16 00:01:53,599 --> 00:02:00,560 of Ellery Queen, where these series had massive runs for cases near to a 17 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,200 decade, but in terms of having any representation of the season, we just 18 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:12,680 left a smattering of episodes. Well, the actor we're going to hear from 19 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,919 today makes that different. Less Damon took over the role of The Falcon on 20 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,840 either January first or January eighth, nineteen fifty and we've heard a lot of 21 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,479 series that he's been in, though not a whole lot of him. He 22 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,080 was the first actor to play Charles in The thin Man Radio series. Had 23 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,639 to step away from the show when he was called into military service in nineteen 24 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,719 forty three. During the time he was away, David Gothard and Less Tremaine 25 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,199 filled in for him as Nick Charles, but he took over the role when 26 00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,759 he returned, and he played that probably close to six years in and out 27 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,240 of the series. He we have a handful of those series. He also 28 00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:13,439 was the second actor to star in ABC's Mystery Theater and he did multiple seasons 29 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:17,360 of that after he did The Falcon, and we have only one episode from 30 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,439 that entire run. He also played Pat Abbot, and thankfully we've got about 31 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,840 ten episodes I think from his playing Pat Abbot in the Adventures of the Abbots 32 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,439 in the nineteen fifties. It's for him, percentage wise is pretty good, 33 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,479 but The Falcon is the series that most fans remember him for, just because 34 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:50,199 that's what we've actually got the most episodes of, at around eighty episodes total. 35 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,080 There are more episodes with less Damon playing the Falcon than there are episodes 36 00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:02,840 with Howard Duffis, Sam Spade or episodes of The Saint or many other programs, 37 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,199 And he did end up getting to play the role for more episodes than 38 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,759 either Men or Tremaine did, but not all that manymore. It's mainly just 39 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:21,319 more lock in terms of episodes surviving. The series also shifted from Mutual to 40 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,720 NBC. That's not to say there aren't plenty of lost episodes during this run. 41 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040 In fact, Maine, as I said, took over the role of 42 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,399 the Falcon in January. The episode We're going to play for you is in 43 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:42,160 May, and then the next episode is from August of nineteen fifty. But 44 00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,279 still, at least we're headed in the right direction and we're going to get 45 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:50,279 enough of a run to really have an idea of how the Falcon sounded. 46 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,040 With Less Tremaine in the leads. So with that introduction out of the way, 47 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,000 let's get into today's episode now. From May fourteenth, nineteen fifty, 48 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:14,800 here is the Case of the Amorous Bookkeeper, The Adventures of the Falcon, 49 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:33,360 starring Less Damon. Hello, Yes this is the Falcon speaking, Oh Rita. 50 00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:38,240 I'm glad you called angel, but we'll have to make it another time. 51 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:42,800 A man has disappeared with some of his company's money. His employers can't 52 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,560 wait to find out what's become of them. In fact, it looks like 53 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:58,680 the suspense may kill them once again. The National Broadcasting Company brings you the 54 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,079 Adventures of the Well dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting detectives who, 55 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,560 like Mike Wearing, risk their lives to aid law enforcement agencies. You 56 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,959 met the Falcon first in his best selling novels, then you saw him in 57 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,199 his thrilling motion picture series, and now NBC is happy to bring you his 58 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:21,759 adventures on the air. He has It's Michael Waring, that freelance detective who's 59 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,519 always ready with a hand for oppressed men and an eye for repressed women. 60 00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:35,399 So join him now and the Falcon falls. The Case of the Amorous bookkeeper. 61 00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,399 It's late Sunday night in New York, and Lucille Landis is worried. 62 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,240 Lucille is the tall, willowy brunette who is gliding down the hall of the 63 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,120 third floor in the Tremont Building. She stops at the door of the Style 64 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,160 centered Dress company, pauses briefly with her hand on the knob, then shrugs 65 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,240 daintily and opens the door. Her partner, large Ponche Bonnie Murdoch, looks 66 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,959 up from the books on the desk in front of him as she enters. 67 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,680 Oh, at last, come in, Come in, all right, Bonnie, 68 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,360 Now what is it? He was so excited on the phone. I 69 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:23,519 here, sit down. Well, I've been suspicious for some time. Didn't 70 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,240 say anything because I didn't want to alarm you if well, if I was 71 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,560 wrong. Unfortunately, I am not well. For heaven's sake, will you 72 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,439 tell me what it's all about? It would be pretty important to get you 73 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,439 to the office on Sunday and then have you sent for me? Yes, 74 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:42,800 it's pretty important. I've had an accountant down here all day. What do 75 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,680 you think? Something wrong with the book? Hard to believe. Finch has 76 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,040 been with us for well, almost from the beginning, and he's such a 77 00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:53,519 mild little guy. What's wrong with you? Made a mistake? Mistake, 78 00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:57,160 Yeah, quite a mistake to think he could get away with it. He's 79 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,199 been taking us Lucille for the last six months. Are you sure? Oh? 80 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,480 I can't believe it's all here, black and white? How much? 81 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,399 Nearly thirty thousand dollars? Oh no, that's impossible. Thirty thousand dollars in 82 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:16,600 six months. I thought our profit was off for the volume we were doing, 83 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,480 but I couldn't find anything. So I've had an expert go over it. 84 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:24,000 He's found where Finch has been juggling? What do we do? What 85 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:28,680 can we do? Have the police here when Finch comes to work tomorrow. 86 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,519 I hope he hasn't spent it all. Yes, I suppose so, poor 87 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,360 little fellow. But if he's a thief thirty thousand, we can wave sympathy. 88 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,320 Well, now, come on, let me show you. That's why 89 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,600 I asked you down. I want you to see what the accountant pointed out, 90 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:46,159 so you'll understand. You know, I can make heads of tails out 91 00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:50,399 of figures. I leave all that part of the business to you. If 92 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,039 you say Finch has been rotting us, well, that's it. You ought 93 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,440 to take more of an interest. Well, I do in designing and production. 94 00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:00,360 But believe me, body, when it comes to bookkeeping, I don't 95 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,440 know a debit from a ledger. All right, Lucy. If that's the 96 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,879 way you wanted, that's the way. Now that's called the police. Shall 97 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:28,320 we here? I am I've been looking for you. I didn't see you 98 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960 in this back booth. Oh, that's why I picked it. I don't 99 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,720 want it to be seen down. You don't have to worry. Cora doesn't 100 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,840 know about us. Your wife we have to worry about any more. Since 101 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,759 she What do you mean? The jig's up? Fannie had an account of 102 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:46,159 work on the books day. To put it mildly, what do we do? 103 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,200 Well, you've got to get out of town. I knew it would 104 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,679 come to this sooner or later. I knew it good. Nothing like being 105 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,440 prepared. We'll go to California. We Oh, were you taking cornor? 106 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,960 No? No? Oh? You? Oh? She don't be silly. 107 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:09,159 What I don't want to leave you. You don't have much choice. You'll 108 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,519 join me later. No, I think about it. You won't join me. 109 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,240 You want to get rid of it now? Sin Well, you're acting 110 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,039 so so cold. I'm worried, that's all. I should think you'd want 111 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,159 to go with me if you really love me. Let's not go to that 112 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:30,559 now. Sometimes I think I just wonder if you've just been using me to 113 00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:31,759 juggle the books for you. Now that I'm no more use to it, 114 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,840 I'm tipping you off and I so you can get away. Yes, but 115 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,759 maybe you don't want me talking. But I don't. But I've got to 116 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,720 know the truth. I've got to let go my Brits. Do you love 117 00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:46,919 me, Anthony? Look see you? Do you love me? Do you 118 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,639 well? You asked for it? I know it. I know it all 119 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,240 the time, look in them theres Sometimes since she did you think for one 120 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,159 minute? Stop, don't say it. I didn't think even for one minute, 121 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Not really. I pretended that's all. The whole thing was just like 122 00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:11,519 a dream, just a daydream. Now it's turned into a nightmare. I'm 123 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,759 sorry, honestly, you better be for yourself. You're in this with me 124 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,720 to see you, and I may decide not to go to California. I 125 00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:22,480 may stay see and I may talk. I think she don't be silly. 126 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:26,960 You juggled the books, You took the money and there's nothing to prove you 127 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,120 gay any of it to me, or that I knew anything about it. 128 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,639 But you wanted me to get out of town with hell, partly for your 129 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,240 sake and Boddy, because I don't like unpleasantness. I can deny anything you 130 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,399 say, but i'd rather I'll be bothered a little unpleasantness, that's all you're 131 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,399 afraid of. Well, just don't underestimate me. You'll see what I'm warning 132 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,679 you now. Don't underestimate me. Thanks for the tip. Bonnie Murdoch underestimated 133 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,279 me. It cost him thirty thousand dollars. Cora underestimated me. She wouldn't 134 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,360 believe I could ever have a woman like you. Well I did. Maybe 135 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,159 someday people will find out that Elliott interesting? Is what am I talking about? 136 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,440 Lucille, don't leave me, please, don't scare? Good night? 137 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:16,799 And she hates me, No, she doesn't even hate me. What am 138 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:35,480 I gonna do? What am I going to do? Yes, Michael Willing, 139 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,000 that's right. My name is Bonnie Murdoch Style Center Dress company. I 140 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,440 want to hire. I never was much good on Hampsteachen. All right, 141 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,799 you've had your joke. Now may I come in sure? Thanks? They 142 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,919 called you the folk and some such father out, don't they? Oh, 143 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,759 I haven't called every kana follow all in the book. Well, I'm not 144 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600 much for fancy names, but I understand your shop can deliver the goods. 145 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120 That's what I want? Or just what goods do you have in mind? 146 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,919 I want you to find a man for me. What man name's Elliott Finch? 147 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,480 Bookkeeper worked for us until the day, didn't show up for work this 148 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,679 morning, and his wife doesn't know where he is. How much did he 149 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,799 get away with? How do you know about that? When the bookkeeper disappears 150 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,440 and his boss rushes frantically to a detective. Good you're on the board thirty 151 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:28,080 thousand wearing thirty thousand nice round simoleans to coin a couple of cliches. Finch 152 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,279 certainly believed in making hay and brother that ain't hay much in his me are 153 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,600 your fee fifty dollars a day in expenses? I'll give you five hundred dollars 154 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,639 if the job's done in less than ten days. Keep the change not fair 155 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:46,480 enough? Tell me something without that? Why did you discover Finch's defaultation yesterday? 156 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:52,080 And today Finch disappears? Yeah, I've been wondering about that. Don't 157 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,279 see how he knew he'd found out about him? Well, who didn't know 158 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,480 besides yourself? Just the accountant I had work on the books, and my 159 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,159 partner Lucy Landers. But surely neither of them will trust them implicitly, of 160 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,399 course, as much as you trusted Finch until this happened. What are you 161 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:11,279 trying to suggest? Just thinking out loud? And in my business, you 162 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,679 don't get very far if your thoughts are all sweetness in life, very good 163 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:20,799 wearing, suspicious of everyone, probably just as well, although I don't think 164 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:26,919 then I leave the speculation to you, all right, Murdak, And as 165 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:41,480 soon as I have something concrete, i'll let you know what is it? 166 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,559 Are you missus Finch? Yes, my name is Michael Waring. I am 167 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,799 looking for your husband. He isn't here. I know that. How do 168 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,080 you know? What do you want with him? Are you from Style Center? 169 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,399 In a way? Get out of here? Going back to mister Murdoch, 170 00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:00,720 tell him all he's lost is thirty thousand dollars off to a husband. 171 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,399 Perhaps I can help help. Elliot's gone run away and he's not too well. 172 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:11,080 Mister What did you say your name was I'm telling you this jail would 173 00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:15,720 kill him. He's never been strong, but he was a good husband and 174 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:20,799 a good employee for twenty five years and then well we all make mistakes, 175 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,320 temptations. How you feel, Missus Finch, No you don't. You wouldn't 176 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,320 be here trying to find him, so you can take him to jail, 177 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:31,440 so you can kill him, all right, Missus Stranger? What was that? 178 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,679 What a door closed in the back of the apartment. I didn't hear 179 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,679 anything. Maybe the wind, maybe a husband. No, he isn't here. 180 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,519 How do you know? Maybe he just came in the back, didn't 181 00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:46,519 He wouldn't know. Elliott, Elliott, if you're here, get out. 182 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,320 There's somebody here looking for you, all right, Coral Elliott. He wants 183 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,159 to take you to jail. Not going to take me to jail. Where 184 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,759 did you get that done? I found it? Please, I don't want 185 00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:58,720 to listen to any lectures. I took the money, I admit it. 186 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:02,320 I can't pay it back either, but I'm not going to jail. I'm 187 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,759 sorry about this, curR, but you know the whole story. You know. 188 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:07,399 There's nothing I can do, So this is all that's left.

Half an hour has passed since Elliot Finch tried to shoot his way 203 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,119 out of his troubles by putting a bullet in himself. Finch has been rushed 204 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,400 to a hospital and now Mike is talking to Korra Finch, who was just 205 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,079 recovering from the shock. Is there anyone you'd like me to get to stay 206 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:48,400 with you? Only Elliott? That's impossible. Well, if you'd help me, 207 00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:53,519 perhaps, could I do you say? Mister Finch was a model husband. 208 00:17:53,799 --> 00:18:00,440 He was Men don't just change overnight unless something happens. Happened to make 209 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,359 him suddenly take money from the firm. I told you, temptation finally got 210 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,480 the better of him. What temptation money? And it took its time. 211 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,079 He'd been with the company for years. It grows with time, and that's 212 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,680 all. He didn't have any sudden need for money. No, what did 213 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,960 he do with the money? Please? After what I've been through, do 214 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:22,200 I have to go through this third degree? I'm just trying to help like 215 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,480 you helped Elliott. Holen didn't killed him. Oh look, missus Finch. 216 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,319 In the first place, I had nothing to do with your husband shooting himself. 217 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,920 In the second place, he's not dead. And then the third place, 218 00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:34,519 no, not dead. Well, didn't you know? But did they 219 00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:40,039 carried him out? The doctor told you. I was so dazed. You're 220 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:42,400 telling me the truth. Yes, of course, you're just trying to fool 221 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:53,319 me. Call the hospital. He's really live. Elliott's really live. I'm 222 00:18:53,400 --> 00:19:00,400 sorry. Now that's better. Now do you want to call? Yeah, 223 00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:22,799 give me the sound, yes, wearing a all right? Send him in 224 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:29,920 already, oh, wearing come in, Come in and in news. Yeah, 225 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,720 I found Finch, what good boy? That was first. And I'd 226 00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:37,200 love to take Bowers Murdoch, but I'm afraid I don't break one on this. 227 00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,200 He walked in on me that' song walked in on you? Where at 228 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,119 his home? I thought he'd skipped No, he had no place to go. 229 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,160 Well, where is he in the hospital? He tried to kill himself, 230 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,039 tried to tried to you see, they're working on him now. He's 231 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:59,160 still unconscious. But the doctor's give me a good chance. He tried it 232 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,319 while you were still at his place. That's right. Why do you let 233 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,880 him do it? He had a gun? What could I do? Guns 234 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,759 don't usually stop the folk, and do they sometimes? I don't want to 235 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,000 get in a rut. Did he say anything about the money to his wife. 236 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,200 It's gone all of it. So she said, where gambling? So 237 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:22,160 she didn't say another woman? Maybe maybe where's your partner? You'll see you. 238 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,519 She hasn't come in yet today. Interesting coincidence, wouldn't you say? 239 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,240 What? They have to finish? His dirty workers discovered he doesn't come to 240 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,759 work, and neither does Lucian. Oh, she often doesn't come in until 241 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:40,880 afternoon. It's afternoon. You're hinting at something, Wearing. You hinted at 242 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,160 it before. I'm just trying not to overlook any possibilities. Well, but 243 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,000 the recharging corporate of the police here, you weren't talking or just a minute, 244 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,440 must be something about the robbery, Wearing. I'll see him in a 245 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,599 minute. Till that's not just a robbery, murder. Corpet is with a 246 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:03,079 homicide squad. Homicide, but who what what homicide? Ask Corbett? Send 247 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:07,920 the sergeant in. You said Pins tried to kill himself, Wearing, that's 248 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,759 suicide, not murder. Besides it didn't work, that's right, hello, 249 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:18,480 Corbett, Wearing. Well, now my day is complete, and what can 250 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:19,880 we do for you?

Oh you're all right for routine, Corbett. 260 00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,759 If it's simple, he expects us to give him what we got. 261 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:14,880 After that, he will call it in spite of yourself, your irresistible charm, 262 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,279 no doubt.

It came 298 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:44,400 from the same gun that did the murder. No, there must be some 299 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,400 mistake. There's no mistake, Wearing the sergeant. If you and I agree 300 00:24:48,440 --> 00:25:00,680 with each other, one of us is bound to be wrong.

It's twenty minutes since Mike Wearing and Sergeant Corbett 313 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,599 startled each other by seeing I do lie on the case. Now they're at 314 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:17,400 the hospital to see Eliot Finch. They find Missus Finch in the waiting room. 315 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,559 Hello, missus Finch, how's your husband? He's regained consciousness, but 316 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,000 I haven't been able to talk to him yet. They're giving him a transfusion, 317 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,359 and then they say I can go in again, not until I do. 318 00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:30,440 Who are you? Oh? Excuse me, missus Finch. Is is 319 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,440 Sergeant Corbette of the police? I might have known? Can't they give him 320 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,319 any rest? Even now? I'm sorry, missus Finch. I'll bet you 321 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,720 are. I can see it written all over you. Why do they always 322 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:45,279 have to have families? You stay here with her wearing I'm going in and 323 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,240 I had better do as he says, Missus Finch. I don't know why 324 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,640 you all have to pick on Elliott anyway. He doesn't have the money. 325 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,279 He only took it because that woman made him. She's the one who has 326 00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:59,559 it, Lucy Landers. Yes, if you want the money, ask her. 327 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,799 We like to. But there's one catch. Well, what's that she's 328 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,960 dead? How did that happen? Somebody killed her? But what I'd like 329 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,799 to know, Missus Finch, since you know about your husband and miss Landers, 330 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,680 how come you didn't tell me about her before? Because I didn't want 331 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,440 to. I don't have to account to you now, But you did account 332 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,640 to me everything except that you knew about miss Landers. Why do you make 333 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440 so much of that? Because you must have had some reason for holding back. 334 00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:27,680 I'm not holding back. I've just told you about her. I know. 335 00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:33,039 That's what puzzles me. It must be awful what your kind of work 336 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:37,680 makes you suspicious of everybody and everything? Still is better than being afraid of 337 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,960 everybody and everything? What do you mean by that? I'll tell you later. 338 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,680 He comes to sergeant again. Well, covidnch can go in now. 339 00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,920 She wants what did he say to you? Covied He has a story. 340 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,240 Yeah, he admits he was at Lucy Orlandis's, but he says he got 341 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,559 there after the murder. He found the gun then and took him with him. 342 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:03,039 He got it gun. You won't hear about the money. This was 343 00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,319 about the murder, easy, missus Finch. You can't think Elliott did it. 344 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,519 You'd never hurt anyone. He didn't do it. Why can't you leave 345 00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,319 him alone? A man has a murderer gone, you don't just leave him 346 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,559 alone? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you buyer his alibi coma. But 347 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,359 now he's not going anywhere. That's right. But suppose I could rip his 348 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,480 alibi right down the middle? Right? How I suppose I could prove he 349 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,440 took the gun with him too. Miss Landers's that he went there to kill 350 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,119 her? He can't. It's a lie. Missus. Finch told me her 351 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,079 husband admitted taking the money, but she tried to conceal his connection with Miss 352 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Landers. Now why I told Was it because she knew what was going to 353 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,519 happen and she wanted to protect Finch? No? Couldn't you see him take 354 00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:42,279 the gun? That would frighten her to trying to hide his affair with miss 355 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Landers. No, you must believe me. I wouldn't shield Elliot, not 356 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,640 if he were a murderer. You try to protect him when you knew he 357 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,960 was a thief. I didn't. You didn't want him jailed for it. 358 00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:52,799 You seem to think it was all right for him to take the money. 359 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,680 He said, he was just healing the temptation. Your only criticism was of 360 00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:00,359 the police and me for wanting to catch him. What could I do? 361 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:04,400 He's my husband and I love him naturally. I don't want to see him 362 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,759 go to jail. Nice code of ethics. Anything he does is okay as 363 00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:15,039 long as he's your husband embettlement. You don't understand the trouble is I do, 364 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,559 Corbett. I think you have a case. You can make an arrest. 365 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,319 No, Elliot didn't kill that woman. I tell you he didn't. 366 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,200 I will see. But he's sick. This, this might kill him. 367 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,119 Let him alone till he's stronger. Then you'll see he'll be able to mean, 368 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:29,680 there'll be time to think up another alibi. It's no use, missus. 369 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,799 Why do you have to be so hard, so unfeling? You know 370 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,160 it's another side of that rotten work. I'm in well, Corbett, Okay, 371 00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:42,440 please, nothing else will stop you. I'll confess I killed him. 372 00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:48,079 I did. She's sure determined to protect that guy. Only she happens to 373 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:52,319 be telling the truth. Ah, but you said I didn't say anything. 374 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,720 I simply asked some hypothetical questions. But now I am saying, Missus, 375 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,440 Finch killed miss Landis. Corbett. You said before I can arrest for the 376 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:03,720 murder? No, No, I said you could make an arrest. You 377 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:19,079 can, So what are you waiting for? She's wearing is on nine on 378 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:25,960 to that right? Hello? Wearing what news? Hell? I've wrapped it 379 00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:27,720 up? You did, Finch? Yep? I hung it on him. 380 00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:32,400 It's been an arrest yep, right, come on over and tell me about 381 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,599 it. I'll give you a check. I was not much to tell. 382 00:30:34,119 --> 00:30:37,079 You wanted me to prove Finch killed miss Landers, So I did good. 383 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,559 Yeah, forced the real murderer into confessing. What. Yes, Missus Finch 384 00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:45,920 didn't like her husband being ruined by another woman, so she eliminated the other 385 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,519 woman, Missus Finch, and that's right, murder. She's the one who 386 00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:52,759 killed your partner. But I didn't think you'd mind a turning out like this. 387 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,200 All you really wanted was me to prove you didn't do it right. 388 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,480 You're wearing But I was so sure that I know you want to be careful 389 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,559 about that Murdoch. You know there's a theory we're supposed to operate on that 390 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,920 a man is innocent until he's proved guilty. Not a bad idea. I'll 391 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:27,079 see you around good, looks so smart where and you were lucky? That's 392 00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,160 all, was like all. But you thought Finch was our boy. It 393 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,880 just happened, Missus Finch broke down, and I had nothing to do with 394 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,799 it, not intentionally, I suppose. I tell you. I suspected her 395 00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:44,000 almost from the first minute I met her more hypothetical questions. No, no, 396 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,319 on the level. Okay, you suspected her, You suspect everyone, 397 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,440 That's what she said. But I picked her as the best bet. Why 398 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,599 because one of the first questions she asked me was are you from Style Center? 399 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,599 Why does that prove nothing? But she followed it up with get out 400 00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:06,480 of here, go on back to mister Murdoch. The Style Center isn't just 401 00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:12,079 mister Murdoch. It is, or was Murdoch and Lucille Landis. But Korra 402 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,720 Finch had already crossed off Landis, and I couldn't help wondering why, I 403 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,279 say. Then what clinched it was her holding back on me about Finch's tie 404 00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:23,599 up with the Landiss woman, although she knew about it all the time God 405 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,160 abandoned. She was protecting her husband like you suggested that the hospital, except 406 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,200 that when she heard her husband was better, that he would live and could 407 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,359 talk, suddenly she told me about him and Lucille Landis. Oh, I 408 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,559 didn't know that, so she couldn't have been trying to protect him, or 409 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,279 she would have continued to keep quiet. So you figured she wasn't covering for 410 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,799 him. But for herself. Sure, she didn't want us to know that 411 00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:50,279 she was wise to her husband and the Landis woman, because then we wouldn't 412 00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:52,160 know she had a motive to kill her. Uh huh. But when she 413 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,240 found out her husband was gonna live and might admit he had told her the 414 00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:59,720 whole story, she decided to spell the works. That's right. She thought 415 00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:01,319 it look better coming from her than it. What if we latched on to 416 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,319 with ourselves, but instead it cooked her? Well, she's not cooked yet, 417 00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:10,240 Corbett just about with the confession and all. But I reserved final judgment 418 00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:14,839 until the jury comes in. Why so cautious all of a sudden, Mike, 419 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680 just like to practice what I preach, and I've been preaching. Is 420 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:22,720 not a little lot of character for you? It could be the fact seems 421 00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:27,519 to me this whole case is out of character for you. I'll come and 422 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,839 there are only two gals in it. One of them gets herself bumped off. 423 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,440 You pin the job or the other one, and that leaves your holding 424 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:37,640 hands with me. No, no, no, you're overlooking one thing. 425 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:45,400 Corbett. White sat Mike the receptionist in Murdo's office. She's waiting, you 426 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,880 know, just have time to pick her up. So here's where you get 427 00:33:47,920 --> 00:34:08,280 off. Good night, Sergeant The Case of the Frozen Lettuce. The Case 428 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,800 of the Frozen Lettuce. That's the title of next week's Adventure of the Falcon, 429 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,800 when Mike Waring learns that a person who tries to keep his mouth shut 430 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:22,360 may wind up silent as the grave. So be sure to listen next week 431 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,079 at the same time to another exciting adventure of the Falcon. The Adventures of 432 00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:31,639 the Falcon are based on the famous character created Byrexel Drake, produced by Bernard 433 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:37,760 elle Schubert, written Tonight by Jerome Epstein and directed by Richard Lewis. Music 434 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,360 was conducted by Harry Sosnik. Les Damon was starred as the Falcon with Ken 435 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,199 Lynch as Sergeant Corbett. Tonight, Theoter Gild on the Air presents a thrilling 436 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:52,199 courtroom drama starring Lovely Paulett Goddard, the wonderful Pad O'Brien, and handsome Tom 437 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,840 Drake. The story is the highly dramatic trial of Mary Dugan. Here all 438 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:01,159 three top stars in the Trial of Mary Dugan. Later on Theodore Guild on 439 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:10,280 the Air. This program came from New York. Peter Robert speaking Welcome Back. 440 00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:15,000 I had to love it when Wering used the story logic of a radio 441 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:21,320 series to show that either he or Corbin were faded to be wrong. I 442 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,920 do wonder if the show's dedication to private detectives was a bit tongue in cheek 443 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,920 spoof on radio programs that dedicated themselves to the police. Even though The Falcon 444 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,199 had only been on NBC a couple of weeks, unless Damon had only been 445 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:43,039 in the role for five months, Clearly its conventions were familiar to the audience 446 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,039 who expected The Falcon would get a girl, and the show tried not to 447 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:54,760 disappoint. The promos on the program were really interesting. Some programs like Not 448 00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:00,760 Beat or Dangerous Assignment we've already played or are playing. We may hear Kloak 449 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:07,239 and Dagger when we get to the adventure podcast later on. The Big Guy 450 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,559 is actually a series we played many many years back in which I really enjoyed 451 00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:19,639 and I love the concept of this really large private investigator who's just seen as 452 00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:25,480 this sort of bigger than life character by his children, and that he is 453 00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:31,239 raising them on his own as his wife passed, which wasn't a typical backstory 454 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:37,760 for a detective in the nineteen fifties, and I'm disappointed that we don't have 455 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,519 more episodes, and also I think they could have done a lot more with 456 00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:46,920 the concepts. So well, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of 457 00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:51,760 the day, and I want to go ahead and thank Guy. Guy has 458 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:58,199 been one of our Patreon supporters since September of twenty twenty two, currently supporting 459 00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:01,519 the podcast at the rook key level of two dollars or more per month. 460 00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:06,800 Thank you so much for your support, Guy, And that will do it 461 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,599 for today. We'll be back next Monday with another episode of The Falcon. 462 00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:15,320 But join us back here tomorrow for the start of another Yours truly, Johnny 463 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,239 Dollar Cereal where well, at least I know it was Harry Crystal Lake. 464 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,639 Now you you haven't seen him since, you know, just once that same 465 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,559 night he was in the bar at the hotel talking to Betty Norton, who 466 00:37:28,639 --> 00:37:31,679 she heirs to the Norton Estate mining. She's got a big place on the 467 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,079 other side of the lake and your lookout point know anything about him? Sure? 468 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,480 All I want to Oh, she travels at a pretty good clip, 469 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,639 let's see. Well, thanks for the information, as you know, what 470 00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:46,679 are you gonna do now? Try to find Edward Russell alive or otherwise? 471 00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:51,559 Is that a hunch of yours still operating? It hasn't gotten any weaker. 472 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,840 Oh, just one thing, Johnny, this is a pretty high grade resort 473 00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,679 here. Things are nice and peaceful. I like to keep bit that way. 474 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,519 Sure, So don't go off half cocked, huh. For instance? 475 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,480 For instance, don't start accusing anybody of murder unless or until you find a 476 00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:13,840 body. And if I do find a body, oh, then looks like 477 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920 we'll have to start doing a little accusing. I hope you'll be with us 478 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,159 then in the meantime.
