Speaker 1: Alone. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh is that.
Speaker 2: No, I won't be able to make it tonight. I'm
on my way to London. That's right, Angel London. Someone
committed murder there and I'm supposed to accept the defense. Yeah,
he claims he.
Speaker 3: Knows nothing about it because at the time he was
in a fog.
Speaker 2: Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the transcribed
Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Damon.

detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their lives to aid
law enforcement agency. So join him now when the Falcon
solves the case of the Babbling Brooks. The funny thing
about women you never know how they're gonna react. I
suppose that's true of men too, that I haven't been
interested in doing research.
Speaker 1: There give me a girl every.
Speaker 2: Time, especially in a city like London. Now you take
Christina Draper for example, and if you're gonna take her,
you'll have to work real fast. Chris is the luscious
blonde getting out of the lift on the eighth floor
of the shoreom One glance and you can tell immediately
this is a girl who believes in standing on her
own two creek, and who can blame her?
Speaker 1: Just look at those ankles.
Speaker 4: It's Chris Robert.
Speaker 5: Open up, darling. What a present surprize. I was just
thinking of you, not that. What about my donning? Have
you got it for me?
Speaker 4: You don't believe in wasting time, do you, mister Vaughan?
Speaker 3: Heh?
Speaker 4: I remember when you couldn't wait to kiss me.
Speaker 5: Oh I still can't. I'm mad about your donny.
Speaker 4: You're pretty cute.
Speaker 5: I don't understand you, Chris, how.
Speaker 6: Much you don't you'd cut my throat in a minute
if you thought it would do you any good.
Speaker 4: I did it is don't worry, doesn't bother me. It's funny,
isn't it. Well? At the Embassy they think I'm the
original hard hearted Hannah. If they only knew.
Speaker 5: They mustn't be love would be disastrous for our cause.
If they didn't indent that I just heard from Moscow,
they're tremendously Please get it. I thought you'd be interested
in knowing your efforts on behalf of world peace are appreciated.
Speaker 4: Let's not kid each other. I'm a trader, Chris.
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 4: Well, isn't that what they call people who sell out
their own country honor.
Speaker 5: You mustn't talk like them, after all your motive?
Speaker 4: Yeah, about my motive.
Speaker 6: I'm in love with a common turn big shot. Do
you think they'll take that into consideration before they hang me?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Really, Chris, I don't know what's come over you. You're
displaying horrible taste.
Speaker 4: I apologize you're an angel.
Speaker 5: What have you got for me?
Speaker 6: The minutes of a conference between Colonel Logan and Sir
Raf Gordon. Do you mind if I help myself to
a drink?
Speaker 5: I've got some irish, that's fine.
Speaker 4: Can I fix you one?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Please, Chris. Chris is wonderful. I see they discussed a
new tank.
Speaker 3: Where are they testing it back in the state?
Speaker 5: Thank you? Would there be any plans in England?
Speaker 4: Colonel Logan has, I said.
Speaker 5: I've got to have a copy. I'll get you a camera.
Speaker 4: Include me out now, darling.
Speaker 5: Don't you want to help the cause of world peace?
Speaker 4: And I do that by presenting you with the plans
for the F seven? Of course, Well, I must be stupid.
I don't see it.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: If we had known in advance that the Americans were
going to use German warfare in Korea.
Speaker 6: Now, honey, this is Chris. Remember you're not writing articles
for the Daily Worker.
Speaker 5: I'm mistaken, but you will get me a copy of
those plans.
Speaker 6: I don't think i'd better. The heat is on Scotland.
Yard just nabbed a coding clerk in the British Foreigner.
Speaker 5: Know he was a bangler?
Speaker 4: What about books?
Speaker 5: And you claim you love me.
Speaker 4: You don't know it by now?
Speaker 5: Well then you can't refuse me this.
Speaker 4: No, stop it, Robert.
Speaker 5: You know I'm mad about you.
Speaker 1: Chris.
Speaker 5: No, after this is over, I'll take you out of
this beast of the country, will go to Vienna, Moscow,
anywhere you want. What do you say, Darnie?
Speaker 4: I ought to have my head examined, But you'll do it.
I'll do it. Get me a camera and I'll take
care of it tonight.
Speaker 7: They always been I beg your pardon, miss only Alfred Brooks.
I thought everyone was going.
Speaker 4: No, I'm working late Broye.
Speaker 3: So I noticed he's kind.
Speaker 4: Of logan in.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: Oh he's away for the weekend.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought I scrabbed these floors.
Speaker 7: Would you like me to start up? Hey, that's a smasher.
Oh that camera my brother brought back one like that
from Germany. Oh it took lovely pictures, Yes, I'm sure,
but ain't that against regulations? Huh had to bring a
camera in a year?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going.
Speaker 6: Down to Devonshire for the weekend. I didn't want to
have to go home again.
Speaker 3: To pick it up. Ah, I see.
Speaker 4: Oh I hope you won't say anything to Colonel Logan
about this.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, miss Draper.
Speaker 4: Now, you wouldn't want to get me in trouble, would you, brook?
Speaker 3: Of course not. I know what trouble is. I got
my share when I takes the bloom in fortune to
keep a body alive. You know the pound I ain't
worth what it used to be.
Speaker 4: Could you use five?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: I hope you don't think I was int in for money,
of course, not that I couldn't use each, I understand.
Speaker 3: Imagine two shillings now for a pint of bitters.
Speaker 4: I just thought to buy you with berrol.
Speaker 3: Oh. Oh, thank you, miss Stiper. You're a real lady.
Speaker 4: And you won't say anything to Colonel Logan.
Speaker 7: You don't have to worry, miss, ask anyone. When Alphie
Brooks gives his word, it's like a bond.
Speaker 3: I've forgotten about it already.
Speaker 7: Anyone for Dott looking for someone?
Speaker 3: Governor?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alfie Brooks. So I was told I could find
him at the Fox and biggle.
Speaker 3: What's Brooks done? Now?
Speaker 1: What makes you think he's done anything?
Speaker 8: I know?
Speaker 5: Healthy? I have they get here?
Speaker 3: I watch you.
Speaker 2: Hello Brooks, my name is Mike Waring. I wonder if
you could spare me a few minutes.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Govnor, I'm playing dot A.
Speaker 2: This won't take much time. All hey, bartender, we have
a couple of pints here.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 7: You want to sit at this table in all right,
you've got your blooming here.
Speaker 1: Take a look at my credentials.
Speaker 3: You ain't a blooming copper.
Speaker 2: No, not exactly. But Colonel Logan suggested I talk to you.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't nothing. If somebody's pinched something, well, it
wasn't me.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it wasn't. I was just wondering if you
ever saw any one of the Colonel's office after hours?
Oh like, oh, for example, like any of the men
or mister Draper, the colonel secretary, and.
Speaker 7: I mean the spies at work. What makes you ask
that I go to the cinema a see? Now those
fellows work if I thought there was some anky panky
going on, there is who?
Speaker 3: What do you know?
Speaker 1: My question is what do you know?
Speaker 7: Not a ruddy thing. But I'll give it some thought,
don't it? If I come up with anything, you leave
it to Alfred Brooks to know what to do.
Speaker 5: What's the trouble, Chris? You look nervous.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 5: Maybe this will calm your fever.
Speaker 3: Drow.
Speaker 4: I tell you they suspect something, Robert, I'm being followed.
Speaker 5: You're imagining things, Darling?
Speaker 4: Then why did they send for wearing Michael Wearing? You
know him?
Speaker 5: I met him in Vienna two weeks ago and in
Paris last week.
Speaker 4: Who is he?
Speaker 5: My advocation is a private detective called the falk And,
but according to my information, he's been recorded a temporary
duty with American intelligence.
Speaker 4: I knew it. Now are you expecting someone?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Who is it?
Speaker 5: I go already, Darling, window as you like?
Speaker 3: Just a moment, Hi, Governor, the w oh Alfred Brooks is?
The name is miss Drapery.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid you're making a mistake.
Speaker 3: Not ah, I followed it, so you're the one?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 3: Can I come in?
Speaker 5: Perhaps you'd better sit down? Eh?
Speaker 3: Thanks?
Speaker 7: Who is a lovely place. What are the itcher reflect
like this? Why are you thinking of renting one?
Speaker 3: You never know? Someday I might be in the chips myself,
and if you are, it'll be through me.
Speaker 7: And now that's what I like, a gentleman who comes
right to the point.
Speaker 5: What's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Well, a bloke named Mike Wearing was around the scene
the other day. Yeah, wanted to know. I can imagine
what he wanted to know. I didn't tell him about
Miss Draper. You see, I gave her my word, and
naturally it wouldn't break it naturally. And this, of course,
there was conditions I got no control over, like go, well,
if there was ankie panky going on?
Speaker 5: What do you mean by ankie panky?
Speaker 3: But suppose, for the sake of argument, miss Draper was
a spy, not that I think she is.
Speaker 7: Understand I understand well, naturally, it would be my duty
to tell what I know.
Speaker 3: I'm a patriot, I am.
Speaker 5: That's obvious.
Speaker 7: Of course, I'd hate to make trouble for Miss Draper,
and there's no reason why I should.
Speaker 3: If you're, like I said before, mister Vaughn, I like
a gender. Don't beat around the.
Speaker 5: Bush how much do you want? Suppose we say five underpants?
How do I know this won't be the first of
many such calls?
Speaker 3: Now? I know, pig mister von ask anyone what knows
Alfree Brooks. They'll tell he's a reasonable man.
Speaker 5: Well, that raises a problem. I don't have that much
on me.
Speaker 3: That's all right. I trust you.
Speaker 5: You might be making a mistake.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. You see, I can always go
back to mister Waring. He's my insurance policy.
Speaker 5: Sort of Lloyd's of London. Eh, where do you live?
Speaker 3: Thirteen Oakley Square? They think Kempton Town.
Speaker 5: I'll be buy at three thirty in the morning. Yes,
I have a previous engagement.
Speaker 3: You won't fail.
Speaker 5: Oh, don't worry Brooks. Like you. My word is my bond,
that's all I ask.
Speaker 3: Well, cheer o mate, give my best to miss Draper.
I will.
Speaker 4: Well. Was I imagining things?
Speaker 5: Apparently not?
Speaker 4: What are we going to do?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: First, I'm going to have a drink and meditate, my darling.
Obviously I can't commit myself to the blackmail, so there's
only one solution. No, I'm fred to jest, Darling. What
do you think I told Brooks I'd be.
Speaker 3: There at three point thirteen, I have no idea.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the time I expect to be with your employer,
Colonel Loco. Yes, ironic, isn't it that the American military
attache should be my allebi?
Speaker 4: But if you're going to be with the colonel.
Speaker 5: I can't take care of our mister Brook.
Speaker 3: Then who will you?
Speaker 4: You're crazy?
Speaker 5: What's for trouble Darling? Something wrong with my logic?
Speaker 3: Everything? You don't think I'm going to commit murders already? Chris?
Speaker 5: At times you show your bourgeois background.
Speaker 4: I've done a lot for you rather, but I won't
kill anyone.
Speaker 5: Why not in directly? My dear, you've been responsible for
thousands of days.
Speaker 4: That's a lie.
Speaker 5: Did you ever think of the end results of all
the work you've done for us? Those bits of paper
you've brought us ultimately meant the death of some American boy? No,
I don't know. You've got faced the thanks.
Speaker 3: You're a big girl.
Speaker 5: Now here we are. What's that momento I've been keeping
for just such an occasion. It's a cup link. You'll
notice the initials m MW. Didn't you say Mike Wearing
was in London?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Why don't you take care of mister Brooks. You're to
drop this near the body, I won't do it, And
I say, well, if I should drink Pitts, I'd hate
to be late for my appointment with kind of logan,
so much depends on me.
Speaker 2: Are you in a hurry? Are you in enough of
a hurry to risk your life? Statistics show that by
far the largest percentage of all fatal highway accidents are
caused by drivers who go over the speed limit. Speeding
on the highway gets you nowhere except in the trouble.
The faster you drive, the less control you have over
your car, the longer it takes you to stop, the
greater strain you put on your tires, and the more
likely you are to skid if the roads are bad.
Speaker 3: Weigh all these facts.
Speaker 2: Against a few minutes you may save by driving too
fast and then slow down. Now back to the Adventures
of the Falcon.
Speaker 1: I say what you don't know will never hurt you.
Speaker 2: But try selling that to Alfie Brooks. He had no
idea the little surprise party Robert Vaughan and Chris Draper
were preparing for him. Meanwhile, I had a dinner date
with Chris's boss, Colonel Logan at the Savoy hadn't off
the fuel shortage had anything to do with it.
Speaker 1: But we ate by candlelight, so that.
Speaker 3: Made two more of us in the dark, small wine Mic,
then what it is?
Speaker 9: I couldn't tell him this light. I'm a surprised that
you might. But you know, there's nothing more romantic than
eating by candlelight.
Speaker 2: How can you expect me to be romantic with a
colonel in the army? Now, if you were that blonde
secretary of your Chris, forget it.
Speaker 1: She's spoken for just the same.
Speaker 2: I think i'll have to talk with it tomorrow. I'll
have to cover everybody else, and you have stay.
Speaker 9: It's time I got around to her and wasting your time,
so you might as well suspect me.
Speaker 1: I don't think I haven't. It's what I like about.
Speaker 3: You boys and intelligence. You wouldn't even trust your.
Speaker 1: What's the trouble, Colonel?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'll get your doctor. No, no, but you're sick.
Speaker 5: Now, it'll pass.
Speaker 1: I feel better already. Let me take you home.
Speaker 9: No, it's nothing like, just a touch of indigestion, but
just the same, I'm going to see your home.
Speaker 2: I'll have the way to call a can No. No,
I've got a date. Well, let me keep it for you.
I guarantee she won't be disappointed.
Speaker 1: No, but you will.
Speaker 3: It's a heat.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, although you and Vaughan might hit it off
it then what Vaughan might that be?
Speaker 1: Robert?
Speaker 2: Is he in England? Don't tell me you know him?
I certainly do. I met him in Vienna two weeks ago.
He's working for the Reds is what here? Is a
big shot in the party. I bet he's behind all
these Cananticans.
Speaker 3: Mike Givens saying too many movies.
Speaker 1: Look, I tell you a colonel, tell me tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bone and I've got a date to play test And
if I'm going to keep it, I'll have to move.
Speaker 5: I'll be seeing you, fellow. All right, colonel, your move.
Speaker 3: You're going to regret this one. Suppose I move my
bishop here? I believe that's CHECKMATEE Now, how the.
Speaker 5: Devil did I miss that? You're much too good, Colonel,
I resigned? How about noth game?
Speaker 3: No? No, I promise my doctor at the end by one.
Speaker 5: But it can't be more than twelve?
Speaker 1: It isn't someone better notified?
Speaker 3: Big? Then that's three striking.
Speaker 5: Now I can't imagine where the time went.
Speaker 3: Would you like me to drive you home?
Speaker 1: No, no, don't bother. I'll get a kill.
Speaker 5: All ridiculous and my nice here. It will take us
no time at all, Really, Von, I hate to put
you in trouble just to think at my coat.
Speaker 3: I certainly appreciate my pleasure.
Speaker 5: I'll be right out. Operator. Let me have Savoy for
one one to m m mm hmmmm. Hello about you, Chris, Yes,
Robert here. I just wanted to know everything is proceeding
according to plan, My dear, I'm leaving now with Colonel Logan.
You have that coupling I gave you.
Speaker 1: Yes, good.
Speaker 5: I should be the colonels flat at three point thirty,
at which time you should be knocking on. Mister Brooks, dog.
I wish I had time to, but it might throw
our schedule off. Good hunting nanny.
Speaker 3: I'll be right there, Hello Brooks. Miss Draper I was
he expecting mister Vaughan.
Speaker 4: He couldn't make it, so he sent me in his place.
Speaker 3: I don't like that, miss. It seems to me when
you're making agree it couldn't be helped, Brooks.
Speaker 4: Now, may I come in?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've got it. There's your wife.
Speaker 3: I sent her to our mars. I knew mister Vaughan
wouldn't want anyone around while we was conducting business.
Speaker 4: That was smart.
Speaker 3: You leave it a Brooks, miss, I'm a bloke. Who bloke?
Speaker 4: Who?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: Who? What's the idea of the gun?
Speaker 4: What's usually the idea?
Speaker 5: Hearing?
Speaker 3: Mustn't joke with me.
Speaker 4: I'm not joking, Brooks.
Speaker 3: We can forget about the money, can we sure? What
do I want with five hundred pounds? I wouldn't have
wanted to do with it anyway? You tell me someone,
will you phony Yard and ask him to send over
the lottery? I'll get it. Yes, i'd I can see
Alfie Brooks. Please, I think we can oblige you come in.
Speaker 1: Thanks? There he is?
Speaker 3: Oh do you care for a closer look?
Speaker 2: Yes, if you don't mind, I insist that's not very pretty.
Speaker 3: What murder is I? I don't believe I caught your name.
Speaker 1: It's Mike Wearing.
Speaker 3: How are you? I'm Heathcliff. Heathcliff. Now, if you're going
to make any bad jokes about weathering heights, i'd rather
you didn't. You chaps carry on with him.
Speaker 2: I take a job with the yard, and you take
it correctly. Well, I'm with American Intelligence. If you'd like
to see my credentials.
Speaker 1: I'd love to. There you are, mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Seems to be in order. If I can help in
any way, perhaps you can. Now, what do you make
of this coupling?
Speaker 1: Well, let's see it.
Speaker 3: I'd rather you didn't, though, man, But the initials on
it are m You Well, I could stand for Mike Waring,
couldn't it, which merely proves how wrong I've been.
Speaker 1: I don't get you.
Speaker 3: Well. Every time I read one of your American thrillers,
I'm amused when the criminal's apprehended because he conveniently leaves
behind the coupling. But apparently truth is strange as in fiction.
Speaker 2: This is Vaughan's work, a big one. Two weeks ago
in Vienna, I ran into a man named Robert Vaughan.
He was in charge of Soviet security. He had an
opportunity to go through my things.
Speaker 3: And it's your theory that he appropriated this couplin at
that time? Yes, No, why should he do that for
just this purpose? Well, I'd say it was remarkably far sighted,
wouldn't you?
Speaker 2: Well, Conspector, this isn't for publication, but there was a
spy at work on Colonel Logan's staff.
Speaker 3: They de ceased their apparently hard This seems likely, oh man,
After all, Brooks was just a porter. He'd be in
no position to know anything. Well, he must have known something.
That's why Vaughan killed him. Still, it was your coupling
we found near the body. But can't you see it's
a frame. I knew you were going to say that
those American pictures aren't exaggerated.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't be a fool.
Speaker 3: If I killed Brooks, why would I come back here?
Doesn't the killer always return to the scene of the crime.
In your case, probably to retrieve the coupling?
Speaker 1: What's the use? When did he die?
Speaker 3: Hop usd we What were you doing at that time?
Speaker 1: I was asleep?
Speaker 3: I'm afraid that isn't much of an alibio.
Speaker 2: Man, I'll give you eight to five that Vauns isn't
any better. Those are excellent odds I think you take.
I'll take you up on them.
Speaker 3: Brimmers, be a good chab and get us a car
with you. We've got to settle a bit.
Speaker 5: Well, that's a very interesting tale, Inspector so mister Wedding
believes I framed you.
Speaker 1: I know you did. Vaughn.
Speaker 3: You're the only one who could have palmed that coupling.
Speaker 5: And where did I have the opportunity?
Speaker 3: Two weeks ago in Vienna at the Hotel Imperiale.
Speaker 5: Oh really, old man, you're not serious? Why should I
kill this? This is Brooks or Alfi?
Speaker 3: Brooks?
Speaker 2: Why don't you say you didn't even know the man?
I didn't or come off at Vaughan? He was working
for you?
Speaker 5: Then why should I kill him?
Speaker 3: All right? Maybe he wasn't I do wish you'd make
up your mind. Was he or wasn't he?
Speaker 2: Well, inspector, suppose there was someone else in that office
cooperating with Vaughan and Brooks discovered it. Then suppose he
tried to blackmail Vaughn.
Speaker 5: Doing an awful lot of supposing.
Speaker 2: And why won't you tell us what you were doing
at three thirty last night? Because I hate to involve
anyone here bluffing. I wouldn't advise you to call me Well.
Speaker 1: I am the inspector and I have a side bet
on your hand.
Speaker 5: Well, I've got a full household. Man. At three thirty
last night, I was with Colonel Logan, the American attest shave.
Speaker 1: You're lying.
Speaker 2: I saw the Colonel eighth. He told me so, but
he never would have stayed up till three thirty. He
wasn't feeling well.
Speaker 5: I know. I drove him to his flat. We got
there at four fifteen, and I don't get it. You
will excuse me, Inspector. You mentioned something about a wager
between yourself and mister Wharring.
Speaker 3: Yes, he staked his life on the outcome of this.
Speaker 8: I do hope you can afford the loss.
Speaker 3: There's a price tag on almost everything.
Speaker 2: Whether you drive a shining new nineteen fifty two model
or a pre war Gilloppi, you had to pay the
price when you're driving that car. Remember that speed also
has its price. The price tag on speed violations last
year was fifteen thousand killed and five hundred thousand injured.
This year, thousands of lives can be saved if you
and millions.
Speaker 3: Of other motorists come to the sober.
Speaker 2: Realization that speed is the biggest killer on the highways
and resolved to slow down before you or someone else
pays the price that must be paid for it. You
can do your part by keeping within speed limits at
all times. Drive as though your life depends on it.
Speaker 3: It does. Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't say I wasn't worn I've always told
me not to gamble, and here I had staked my
life that Robert Vaughan didn't have an alibi at the
time of Brooks's murder. But there was one consolation. My
luck had to change. I couldn't possibly lose two bets
in a row like this.
Speaker 3: Well, what do you say, Wearing you satisfied? Now?
Speaker 1: No, he's lying, inspector.
Speaker 3: Oh really, old man, You couldn't possibly have.
Speaker 1: Been with Colonel Logan at three thirty.
Speaker 2: And suppose the colonel bears out my story, Well, then
there was some horsing around with watches.
Speaker 3: Horsing around.
Speaker 1: That's a new one.
Speaker 3: You mean jiggery pogrim.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 2: The colonel wasn't wearing a watch in Vaughn here probably
doctored his own.
Speaker 5: Did I doctor big Ben too? The Colonel called the
hour to my attention as big Ben was striking three.
Speaker 3: No, you really seem to be putting your foot in him,
mister Wearing Well, I tell you his alibi is a phony. Well,
in England, you know, a wonderful way to find out.
Suppose we go over and see Colonel Logan. I suppose
that's how you do it in America too, Collian. Yes,
I hate to disturb you, miss, but I'm Inspector Heathcliff
of Scotland Yard.
Speaker 4: Yes, we've been expecting you.
Speaker 3: Why should you? Oh this is mister Waring and mister Vaughan.
Speaker 5: I've already had the pleasure. How I mispaper?
Speaker 3: Colonel Logan in there?
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm going in.
Speaker 3: No, Oh, come in, gentlemen, say what's going on? Said?
Speaker 1: Isn't it?
Speaker 5: I cautioned him? He just wouldn't listen. Who are you,
doctor Rolbin? What's wrong with the colonel?
Speaker 1: Can't you see he's dead?
Speaker 5: That's impossible? Oh no, tyficult colony. They often go like that,
you know, late hours over work before going and I
can assure you there was no pain. He never knew
a thing. Well kind of upsetting, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Vaughn? Hey, you claim the colonel was your alibi?
Speaker 1: He was. How are you going to prove it?
Speaker 5: And does create a problem.
Speaker 3: If you, gentlemen, will excuse me, I'll make the necessary arrangements.
All right, Vaughan, what have you got to say to yourself?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: Well, gentlemen, I'm afraid you'll leave me no choice. I
didn't kill Brooks, but I know who did.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you say so before?
Speaker 5: My all? I am a gentleman. And where the lady
is in Vaughn? A lady Christina and Drepo the colonel secretary. Yes,
that's right. I've been seeing good deal of a girl.
Speaker 1: Why should that make any difference?
Speaker 5: You might let me finish. I understand she's engaged in
some chat in the States. Brooks apparently found out about
it and attempted to blackmail.
