1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,719
Speaker 1: The Adventures of the Falcon, starring Less Damon.

2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,679
Speaker 2: Hello, Yes this is the Falcon speaking. Oh reader, I'm

3
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:27,760
glad you called Angel, but we'll have to make it

4
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,640
another time. A man has disappeared with some of his

5
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:33,719
company's money. His employers can't wait to find out what's

6
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:36,240
become of them. In fact, it looks like the suspense

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:46,359
may kill them. Once again.

8
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: The National Broadcasting Company brings you The Adventures of the Falcon,

9
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:55,119
dedicated to private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting detectives who

10
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,000
like Mike Wearing, risk their lives to wait law enforcement agencies.

11
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:01,920
You met the Falcon first in his best selling novels,

12
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:04,599
then you saw him in his thrilling motion picture series,

13
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,959
and now NBC is happy to bring you his adventures

14
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,280
on the air. Yes, it's Michael Werring, that freelance detective

15
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,640
who's always ready with a hand for oppressed men and

16
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:19,200
an eye for repressed women. So join him now, And

17
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:35,159
the Falcon solves the case of the amorous Bookkeeper. It's

18
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,319
late Sunday night in New York and Lucille Landis is worried.

19
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,599
Lucille is the tall, willowy brunette who is gliding down

20
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,760
the hall of the third floor in the Tremont Building.

21
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,159
She stops at the door of the Style Centereddress Company,

22
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,079
pauses briefly with her hand on the knob, then shrugs

23
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,840
daintily and opens the door. Her partner, large Ponchee Barney Murdoch,

24
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,560
looks up from the books on the desk in front

25
00:01:58,599 --> 00:01:59,480
of him as she enters.

26
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,879
Speaker 2: Oh, at last, come in, Come.

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: In, all right, Bonnie, Now what is it? He was

28
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,360
so excited on the phone, I hear sit down.

29
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:13,879
Speaker 2: Well, I've been suspicious for some time. Didn't say anything

30
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,960
because I didn't want to alarm you. Well if I

31
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,360
was wrong, Unfortunately I.

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: Am not well.

33
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,479
Speaker 5: For heaven's sake. Will you tell me what it's all about.

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: It would be pretty important to get you to the

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800
office on Sunday and then have you sent for me.

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Yes, it's pretty important. I've had an accountant down here

37
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,240
all day. What do you think?

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,039
Speaker 5: Something wrong with the books?

39
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,599
Speaker 2: Hard to believe. Finch's been with us for well, almost

40
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,960
from the beginning, and he's such a mild little guy.

41
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,879
Speaker 5: What's wrong with you? Made a mistake?

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Mistake? Yeah, quite a mistake to think he could get

43
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,960
away with it. He's been taking us Lucille for the

44
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,159
last six months.

45
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: Are you sure? Oh, I can't believe.

46
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,879
Speaker 2: It's all here black and white?

47
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,199
Speaker 5: How much?

48
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: Nearly thirty thousand dollars. No, that's important. Thirty thousand dollars

49
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:05,360
in six months. I thought our profit was off for

50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,199
the volume we were doing. But I couldn't find anything.

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,639
So I've had an expert go over it. He's found

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,800
where Finch has been juggling? What do we do? What

53
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:17,759
can we do? Have the police here when Finch comes

54
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:20,680
to work tomorrow. I hope he hasn't spent it all.

55
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I suppose so, poor little fellow mart if he's

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,800
a thief, thirty.

57
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Thousand, we can wave sympathy. Well, now come on, let

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,439
me show you. That's why I asked you down. I

59
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,520
want you to see what the accountant pointed out, so

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,199
you'll understand.

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,599
Speaker 5: You know, I can't make heads and tails out of figures.

62
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: I leave all that part of the business to you.

63
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,319
If you say Finch has been robbing us, well that's it.

64
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: You ought to take more of an interest.

65
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,639
Speaker 3: Well, I do in designing and production, But believe me, body,

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,719
when it comes to bookkeeping, I don't know a debit

67
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:51,719
from a ledger.

68
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: All right, lucill If that's the way you want.

69
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,639
Speaker 5: It, that's the way. Now that's called the police. Shall

70
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:14,520
we here?

71
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 6: I am Oh the ceiling I've been looking for you.

72
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:18,839
I didn't see in this back booth.

73
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,879
Speaker 5: Oh, that's why I picked it. I don't want it

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,680
to be seen.

75
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: Down.

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,439
Speaker 4: You don't have to worry.

77
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: Cora doesn't know about us, your wife, we have to

78
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,439
worry about any more. Since what do you mean the

79
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839
jig's up? Fannie had an account at work on the

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,439
books day. Oh dear to put it mildly, what do

81
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,319
we do? And you've got to get out of town.

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,959
Speaker 4: I knew it would come to this sooner or later.

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,160
I knew it good.

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,759
Speaker 5: Nothing like being prepared.

85
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: Well, we've got to California.

86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,959
Speaker 5: We Oh, were you taking Corra?

87
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: No?

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,639
Speaker 2: No you?

89
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:50,879
Speaker 6: Oh?

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,399
Speaker 5: She don't be silly. But I don't want to leave you.

91
00:04:56,399 --> 00:04:57,759
Speaker 7: You don't have much choice.

92
00:04:58,519 --> 00:04:59,439
Speaker 2: You'll join me later.

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: Think about it.

94
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: You won't join me. You want to get rid of

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,879
me now? Think you're acting so so cold.

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,199
Speaker 5: I'm worried, that's all I should think.

97
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,639
Speaker 2: You'd want to go with me if you really love me.

98
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: Let's not go to that now.

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,959
Speaker 6: Sometimes I think I just wonder if you've just been

100
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:21,000
using me to juggle the books for you.

101
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: Now that I'm no more.

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 5: Use to it, I'm tipping you off and I so

103
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:24,560
you can get away.

104
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:28,759
Speaker 4: Yes, but well maybe you don't want me talking, but

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,839
I don't. But I've got to know the truth.

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,639
Speaker 5: I've got to let go my britz.

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: Do you love me? Anthemy, Lucie? Do you love me?

108
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:36,439
Speaker 5: Do you.

109
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: Well?

110
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: You asked for it.

111
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: I know it. I know it all the time.

112
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: Look in the mirrors sometimes since she did you think

113
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:47,240
for one minute?

114
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,519
Speaker 6: Don't say it. I didn't think even for one minute,

115
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,079
not really. I pretended that's all. The whole thing was

116
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,040
just like a dream, just a daydream.

117
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,639
Speaker 4: Now it's turned in nightmare.

118
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,959
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, honestly, you.

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 6: Better be for yourself. You're in this with me, Lucille,

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040
and I may decide not to go to California. I

121
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,600
may stay see and I may talk.

122
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,759
Speaker 5: I don't think she don't be silly.

123
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: You juggled the books, you took the money, and there's

124
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,079
nothing to prove you gay any of it to me,

125
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:18,319
or that I knew anything about it.

126
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: But you wanted me to get out of town with.

127
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:22,319
Speaker 3: Hell parking for your sake and Boddy because I don't

128
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:23,439
like unpleasantness.

129
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: I can deny anything you say, but I'd rather not.

130
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 6: Be bothered a little unpleasantness. That's all you're afraid of. Well,

131
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:33,839
just don't underestimate me, You'll see. I'm warning you now,

132
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,040
don't underestimate me.

133
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,199
Speaker 5: Thanks for the tip.

134
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 6: Bonnie Murdoch underestimated me, had cost him thirty thousand dollars.

135
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,199
Cora underestimated me. She wouldn't believe I could ever have

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,959
a woman like you.

137
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,199
Speaker 2: Well I did.

138
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: Maybe someday people will find out that Elliott Finch's is

139
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:53,199
Oh what am I talking about?

140
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,439
Speaker 2: Lucille?

141
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: Don't leave me, please, I'm scared.

142
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,879
Speaker 5: Good Night, Finch.

143
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:04,199
Speaker 4: You she hates me? No, she doesn't even hate me.

144
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:06,480
What am I going to do?

145
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: What am I going to do? Yes, Michael Wearing, that's right.

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,319
My name is Bonnie Murdoch Style Center Dress Company? Want

147
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,399
to hire? I never was much good on hamsteaching. All right,

148
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,759
you've had your joke. Now may I come in sure? Thanks?

149
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,079
They called you the folk and some such father al,

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480
don't they? Oh? I haven't called Herricana fall all in

151
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:44,959
the book. Well, I'm not much for fancy names, but

152
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,800
I understand your shop can deliver the goods that's what

153
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,000
I want? Or just what goods do you have in mind?

154
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,120
I want you to find a man for me. What

155
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,959
man name's Elliott Finch? Bookkeeper worked for us until the day,

156
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,120
didn't show up for work this morning, and his wife

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720
doesn't know where he is. How much did he get

158
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,560
away with? How do you know about that? And when

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,959
the bookkeeper disappears and his boss rushes frantically to a detective,

160
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,480
good you're on the poll thirty thousand wearing thirty thousand?

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,879
Nice round simoleans to coin a couple of cliches. Finch

162
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,399
certainly believed in making Hay and brother, that ain't hay

163
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:23,560
much in it for me? Your fee fifty dollars a

164
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,959
day in expenses. I'll give you five hundred dollars if

165
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,319
the job's done in less than ten days. Keep the

166
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,399
change not fair enough? Tell me something without that? Why

167
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,519
did you discover Finch's defaultation yesterday and today Finch disappears? Yeah,

168
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,720
I've been wondering about that. Don't see how he knew

169
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,120
he'd found out about him? Well? Who didn't know besides yourself?

170
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,039
Just the accountant I had work on the books and

171
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,600
my partner Lucy Landis, but surely neither of them who

172
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:54,720
trust them implicitly, of course, as much as you trusted

173
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,240
Finch until this happened. What are you trying to suggest?

174
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,000
I'm just thinking out loud, and in my business, you

175
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,240
don't get very far if your thoughts are all sweetness

176
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,360
in life, very good wearing, suspicious of everyone, probably just

177
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:13,039
as well, although I don't think. Then I leave the

178
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,799
speculation to you, all right, modak, And as soon as

179
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,600
I have something concrete, I'll let you know.

180
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 7: What is it?

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,519
Speaker 2: Are you missus Finch? Yes, my name is Michael Waring.

182
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:37,080
I am looking for your husband.

183
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,919
Speaker 7: He isn't here.

184
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,639
Speaker 2: I know that.

185
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: How do you know?

186
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: What do you want with him? Are you from Style Center?

187
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:43,279
Speaker 2: In a way?

188
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 8: Get out of here? Go on back to mister Murdoch.

189
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Tell him all he's lost is thirty thousand dollars. I've

190
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,879
lost a husband. Oh perhaps I can help help Hellio.

191
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:55,360
It's gone run away and he's not too well. Mister

192
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,039
what did you say? Your name was Wearing? I'm telling

193
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,399
you this jail would kill him. He's never been strong,

194
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120
but he was a good husband and a good employee

195
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,200
for twenty five years and then well, we all make mistakes, temptations.

196
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: I know how you feel, missus Finch.

197
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:13,159
Speaker 4: Oh no, you don't.

198
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,879
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be here trying to find him so you

199
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,120
can take him to jail, so you can kill him, all.

200
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:23,919
Speaker 2: Right, missus? What was that? What a door closed in

201
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,840
the back of the apartment.

202
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 5: I didn't hear anything.

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: Maybe the wind, maybe a husband.

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,039
Speaker 7: No, he isn't here.

205
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,519
Speaker 2: How do you know? Maybe he just came in the back,

206
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:32,320
didn't He wouldn't.

207
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,879
Speaker 3: Let's go, No, Elliott, Elliott, if you're here, get out.

208
00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,919
There's somebody here looking for you, all right, Coral Elliott.

209
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,519
He wants to take you to jail.

210
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: Not going to take me to jail.

211
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: Where did you get that gun?

212
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: I found it? Please, I don't want to listen to

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:45,879
any lectures.

214
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,039
Speaker 4: I took the money, I admit it.

215
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: I can't pay it back either, but I'm not going

216
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:49,679
to jail.

217
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,519
Speaker 4: I'm sorry about this, Cora, but you know the whole story.

218
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,039
Speaker 2: You know.

219
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 6: There's nothing I can do. So this is all that's left. Goodbye,

220
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Cora bench wait.

238
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:18,440
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Half an

239
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
hour has passed since Elliot Finch tried to shoot his

240
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320
way out of his troubles by putting a bullet in himself.

241
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,440
Finch has been rushed to a hospital, and now Mike

242
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,759
is talking to Cora Finch, who was just recovering from

243
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:29,159
the shock.

244
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,799
Speaker 2: Is there anyone you'd like me to get to stay

245
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:32,000
with you?

246
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,399
Speaker 7: Only Elliot? That's impossible.

247
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,519
Speaker 2: Well, if you'd help me, perhaps, could I do you say?

248
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Mister Finch was a model husband. He was. Men don't

249
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,039
just change overnight unless something happens. What happened to make

250
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,480
him suddenly take money from the firm?

251
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,639
Speaker 8: I told you temptation finally got the better of him.

252
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: What temptation money? And it took its time. He'd been

253
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:00,360
with the company for years. It grows with time, and

254
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:04,000
that's all. He didn't have any sudden need for money. No,

255
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:06,279
what did he do with the money? Please?

256
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,919
Speaker 7: After what I've been through, do I have to go

257
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,279
through this third degree?

258
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:10,519
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to help.

259
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 7: Like you helped Elliott.

260
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,759
Speaker 5: Helen didn't kill him?

261
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh look, missus Finch. In the first place, I had

262
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,159
nothing to do with your husband shooting himself. In the

263
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,440
second place, he's not dead. And then the third place, no,

264
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,200
not dead. Well didn't you know?

265
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 5: But they carried him out.

266
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: The doctor told you.

267
00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:28,399
Speaker 3: I was so dazed. You're telling me the truth? Yes,

268
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,799
of course, you're just trying to fool me.

269
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:32,279
Speaker 2: All right, call the hospital.

270
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 7: He's really live. Elliott's really live.

271
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Now that's better. Now do you want to call?

272
00:13:46,919 --> 00:14:00,159
Speaker 7: Yes, give me the phone.

273
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: Yes, mister Wearing is here, mister.

274
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: Murdach, all right, send him in already, Oh Wearing, come in,

275
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:18,039
come in and in news. Yeah, I found Finch, What

276
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080
good boy? That was first. And I'd love to take

277
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Bowers Murdoch, but I'm afraid I don't break one on this.

278
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,759
He walked in on me, that's all, walked in on you.

279
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Where at his home? I thought he'd skipped now he

280
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,159
had no place to go? Well, where is he in

281
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,600
the hospital? He tried to kill himself, tried to tried

282
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:42,639
to you see, they're working on him now. He's still unconscious,

283
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:45,919
but the doctor's give him a good chance. He tried

284
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,799
it while you were still at his place. That's right.

285
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,639
Why do you let him do it? He had a gun?

286
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:52,960
What could I do? Guns don't usually stop the folk,

287
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:56,200
and do they sometimes don't want to get in a rut.

288
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Did he say anything about the money to his wife?

289
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:02,559
It's gone all of it? So she said, where gambling?

290
00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:09,960
So she didn't say another woman. Maybe maybe where's your partner, Lucillo.

291
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,759
She hasn't come in yet today. Interesting coincidence, wouldn't you say? What?

292
00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:17,679
They have to finish? The dirty workers discovered he doesn't

293
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,519
come to work, and neither does Lucille. Oh, she often

294
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:25,879
doesn't come in until afternoon. It's afternoon. You're hinting at something, Wearing.

295
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,000
You hinted at it before. I'm just trying not to

296
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:30,240
overlook any possibilities.

297
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: Well, there's a sergeant Corbett is the police here you

298
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:34,200
want to.

299
00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:37,759
Speaker 2: Talk to just a minute. Must be something about the robbery, Wearing.

300
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:41,120
I'll see him in a minute. It's not just the robbery, Murdoch.

301
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:45,759
Corbett is with a homicide squad. Homicide? But who what?

302
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:51,960
What homicide? Asked Corbett here, send a side. Nay, you

303
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,879
said Finch tried to kill himself, Wearing. That's suicide, not murder.

304
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:02,480
Besides it didn't work, That's right, hello, Corbett Wearing. Well,

305
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,519
now my days complete? And what can we do for you?

306
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,440
We can sit tight and keep your mouth shut. I

307
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,879
want to talk to mister Murdach. But what's it about, sergeant?

308
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,080
Your partner, little sale landis she's been murdered. What what

309
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:29,440
do you know about it, Murdoch. I guess that's about

310
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,120
all I can tell you. Sergeant. All right, Murdach, stick around.

311
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,120
We may want to talk to you again. Sure thing,

312
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:39,960
Good day, Sergeant hong By wearing Bye bye, Corvid. I'll

313
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,039
see you down a headquarters later. There are a few

314
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:44,559
things I like to find out, and you think we

315
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,679
can help you. You flatter the department wearing I thought

316
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,039
you're the guy who likes to tell us, not ask us.

317
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,960
Oh you're all right for routine, Corbett. If it's simple,

318
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,360
he expects us to give him what we got. After that,

319
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:01,600
it will Covid in spite of yourself charm not out.

320
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,640
Why call Butt? You do care? I've got work to do,

321
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,079
all right, Wearing your friend. The sergeant's gone. You can

322
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,000
stop being cute. I want results and I want him fast.

323
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,400
What results? Proof that Finch killed Lucille And if he

324
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,240
didn't he did must have She got him to jockey

325
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:25,519
the book machine. Look, it's your idea. You've been hinting

326
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:29,000
at it right along. Yeah, tell me something, Murdoc. What

327
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,400
just when did you catch on to my hint? A

328
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,319
way a merite wearing I don't like that kind of

329
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:37,519
a question. You are supposed to be working for me.

330
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:40,359
Why so touchy, Murdoch, All I said, I know what

331
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000
you said. Now listen to me. I hired you to

332
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:46,759
find Finch. You did, okay, Now I'm hiring you to

333
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:50,920
prove he killed Lucille for an additional thousand dollars. You

334
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720
want the Joba, don't you. Why are you so anxious

335
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:56,920
to pin this on Finch because he killed Lucille she

336
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,640
was double crossing you. Get out of here, Wearing. I'll

337
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,839
get somebody who can take order. Now, now, not so fast, Murdoctor,

338
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,000
job's a job, and money's money. You want me to

339
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:08,599
nail Finch? Okay, I'll nail him. I just wondered why

340
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,920
you're so anxious because he's guilty. Oh all right, if

341
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,440
you say something, well, if you don't think so I do?

342
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,720
I do? All right? Then? After all, Murdoct, the customer

343
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:31,319
is always right. What more proof do I need? Hello?

344
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Sergeant told you i'd be around, yeah, wearing? Hell, what

345
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,480
have you got for me? You? Nothing? And I look, Corbett,

346
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,920
if you want me to solve this case for you,

347
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
like Wearing, We've taken care of that little detail already.

348
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,400
You've made an arrest me. Well, we know who we want,

349
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,680
we know where to find him. You got the wrong man, Oh,

350
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:50,079
we have not truly, And you know I'm talking about

351
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:52,319
I don't need to. I know you Corbett bound to

352
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,519
be wrong. I don't know why I put up with

353
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:59,680
this guy. You can't do without me. Now, would you

354
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,359
like me to tell you who really killed the landis girl? Yeah?

355
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,519
Tell me Elliott Finch? Oh, Finch, that's right. Just how

356
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:09,960
do you know it was Finch? Because I know which

357
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,359
side my bread is buttered on. That makes a lot

358
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,200
of sense, says to me, I like butter all right. Now,

359
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,319
would you like me to tell you who pulled the job? Yeah?

360
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:23,119
Who did it? Finch? What? Only I happen to be

361
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,960
able to prove it? I don't believe it. It took

362
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960
the bullet out of Finch's shoulder. It came from the

363
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,279
same gun that did the murder. No, there must be

364
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,640
some mistake. There's no mistake wearing the sergeant. If you

365
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,039
and I agree with each other, one of us is

366
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:36,519
bound to be wrong. Right.

367
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:49,279

Speaker 1: He's Joshua Sharp, who supports two wonderful children while working

375
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,599
as a keen, quick witted detective. To his two children,

376

the Big Guy. Hear them all next Sunday over most

382
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:48,160
of these same NBC stations. Now back to the Adventures

383
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,119
of the Falcon. It's twenty minutes since Mike Wearing and

384
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,039
Sergeant Corbett startled each other by seeing iy to lie

385
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,519
on a case. Now they're at the hospital to see

386
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:02,640
Elliot Finch. They find Missus Finch in the waiting room. Hello,

387
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,039
Missus Finch, how's your husband?

388
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:06,559
Speaker 8: He's regained consciousness, but I haven't been able to talk

389
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,200
to him yet they're giving him a transfusion, and then

390
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:09,839
they say.

391
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,319
Speaker 2: I can go in again, not until I do.

392
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:13,319
Speaker 7: Who are you?

393
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:13,559
Speaker 5: Oh?

394
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:17,039
Speaker 2: Excuse me, missus Finch. Iss is Sergeant Corbett of the police.

395
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:18,039
I might have known.

396
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,759
Speaker 7: Can't they give him any rest?

397
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: Even now?

398
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, missus Finch. I'll bet you are. I can

399
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,559
see it written all over you. Why do they always

400
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:27,880
have to have families? You stay here with her wearing

401
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,279
I'm going in what I had better do? As he says,

402
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:32,599
Missus Finch, I.

403
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:35,079
Speaker 8: Don't know why you all have to pick on Elliott anyway.

404
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:37,960
He doesn't have the money. He only took it because

405
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,119
that woman made him. She's the one who has it,

406
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:41,079
Lucy Orlanders.

407
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 5: Yes, if you want the money, ask her now.

408
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,799
Speaker 2: We'd like to. But there's one catch. Well, what's that

409
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,759
she's dead?

410
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 5: How did that happen?

411
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: Somebody killed her? But what I'd like to know, Missus Finch,

412
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,480
since you know about your husband and miss Landers, how

413
00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:59,200
come you didn't tell me about her before?

414
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 7: Because I didn't.

415
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: I don't have to account to you now, but you

416
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,839
did accompt to me everything except that you knew about

417
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,559
miss Landers.

418
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 7: Why do you make so much of that because you.

419
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: Must have had some reason for holding back.

420
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 7: I'm not holding back.

421
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 5: I've just told you about it.

422
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: No, that's what puzzles me.

423
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:17,319
Speaker 8: It must be awful what your kind of work makes

424
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,279
you suspicious of everybody and everything?

425
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,079
Speaker 2: Still is better than being afraid of everybody and everything?

426
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 7: What do you mean by that?

427
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: I'll tell you later. He comes a sergeant again. Well,

428
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:31,000
Covid s Fench can go in now. She wants what

429
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,519
did he say to your covied? He has a story. Ye,

430
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,119
he admits he was at Lucy Orlandis's. But he says

431
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,440
he got there after the murder. He found the gun

432
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,720
then and took it with him.

433
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 4: How he got it gone?

434
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: Miss landers Is you You weren't here about the money.

435
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,759
Speaker 2: This was about the murder, easy, missus Finch.

436
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,839
Speaker 7: You can't think Elliott did it. You'd never hurt anyone.

437
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,680
He didn't do it.

438
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: Why can't you leave him alone?

439
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: A man has a murder, Gune, you don't just leave

440
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:59,119
him alone? He yeah, yeah, yeah, you buyers ali by

441
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Corvid for now, he's not going anywhere, that's right. But

442
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,319
suppose I could rip his alibi right down the middle? Right?

443
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,960
How I suppose I could prove he took the gun

444
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,160
with him too. Miss Landers's that he went there to

445
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:10,759
kill her.

446
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:12,039
Speaker 4: He can't.

447
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:12,759
Speaker 7: It's a lie.

448
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: Missus Finch told me her husband admitted taking the money,

449
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:17,519
but she tried to conceal his connection with Miss Landers.

450
00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:19,440
Now why I told her this because she knew what

451
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:21,880
was going to happen and she wanted to protect Finish. No,

452
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,799
couldn't you see him take the gun? That would frighten

453
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:26,640
her to trying to hide his affair with Miss Landers.

454
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,079
Speaker 7: No, you must believe me. I wouldn't shield Elliot, not

455
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,000
if he were a murderer.

456
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:31,519
Speaker 2: You know, you try to protect him when you knew

457
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,200
he was a thief. I didn't. You didn't want him

458
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,400
jailed for it. You seem to think it was all

459
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,319
right for him to take the money. He said he

460
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,599
was just yielding to temptation. Your only criticism was of

461
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:41,920
the police and need for wanting.

462
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 4: To catch him.

463
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:44,319
Speaker 7: But what could I do?

464
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: He's my husband and I love him naturally. I don't

465
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,759
want to see him go to jail.

466
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,559
Speaker 2: Nice code of ethics, anything he does is okay as

467
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:56,799
long as he's your husband. Embezzlement. You don't understand the

468
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:00,400
trouble is I do Corbett. I think you have a case.

469
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,319
You can make an arrest.

470
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 7: No, Elliot didn't kill that woman.

471
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,039
Speaker 5: I tell you he didn't.

472
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,599
Speaker 2: I will see.

473
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 7: But he's sick. This, this might kill him. Let him

474
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,440
alone till he's stronger.

475
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,559
Speaker 5: Then you'll see he'll be able.

476
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 2: To mean, there'll be time to think up another alibi.

477
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,359
It's no use, missus.

478
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 5: Why do you have to be so hard, so unfeling.

479
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: No, it's another side of that rotten work. I'm in well, Corbett, Okay.

480
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 8: Please, nothing else will stop you. I'll confess I killed him.

481
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,039
Speaker 2: I did. She's sure determined to protect that guy. Only

482
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:33,920
she happens to be telling the truth. A but just said.

483
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,079
I didn't say anything. I simply asked some hypothetical questions.

484
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:40,960
But now I am saying, Missus, Finch killed Miss Landis Corbett.

485
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,000
You said before I can arrest bench for the murder. No, No,

486
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:47,000
I said you could make an arrest. You can, So

487
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:48,559
what are you waiting for?

488
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Wearing is online one, mister Murdak, Right, hello Wearing,

489
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,640
what news hell?

490
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: I've wrapped it up. You did pinch? Yep? I hung

491
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,519
it on him. He's been an arrest yep. Right, Come

492
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:15,079
on over and tell me about it. I'll give you

493
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:17,559
a check. I was not much to tell. You wanted

494
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:21,079
me to prove Finch killed miss Landers, so I did good. Yeah,

495
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,519
forced the real murderer into confessing. What. Yes, Missus Finch

496
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:27,960
didn't like her husband being ruined by another woman, so

497
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,440
she eliminated the other woman. Missus Finch. And that's right, Murdoch,

498
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:34,319
she's the one who killed your partner. But I didn't

499
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:36,559
think you'd mind it turning out like this. All you

500
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,079
really wanted was me to prove you didn't do it right.

501
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,880
You're wearing But I was so sure as I know

502
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:45,279
you want to be careful about that, Murdoch. You know

503
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:47,960
there's a theory we're supposed to operate on that a

504
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:52,400
man is innocent until he's proved guilty. Not a bad idea.

505
00:25:53,480 --> 00:26:08,640
I'll see you around a good luck so smart wharing

506
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,240
you were lucky. That's all was I called it. You

507
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,799
thought Finch was our boy. It just happened. Missus Finch

508
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,559
broke down and I had nothing to do with it,

509
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,240
not intentionally, I suppose. I tell you I suspected her

510
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:24,039
almost from the first minute I met her. More hypothetical

511
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,480
questions no, no, on the level. Okay, you suspected her,

512
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:32,079
You suspect everyone, That's what she said. But I picked

513
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:35,319
her as the best bet. Why because one of the

514
00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:38,880
first questions she asked me was are you from Style Center?

515
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,599
Why does that prow nothing? But she followed it up

516
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,400
with get out of here, go on back to mister Murdoch.

517
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,880
The Style Center isn't just mister Murdoch. It is or

518
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,599
was Murdoch and Lucille Landers. The cor of Finch had

519
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,400
already crossed off Landers, and I couldn't help wondering why

520
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,839
I say, And then what clinched it was her holding

521
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,319
back on me about Finch's tire with the Landis woman,

522
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,000
although she knew about it all the time God abandoned.

523
00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:08,960
She was protecting her husband like you suggested that the hospital,

524
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:12,160
except that when she heard her husband was better, that

525
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:14,799
he would live and could talk, suddenly she told me

526
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,200
about him and Lucille Landis.

527
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: Oh.

528
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know that, so she couldn't have been trying

529
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:21,960
to protect him, or she would have continued to keep quiet.

530
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,880
So you figured she wasn't covering for him but for herself. Sure,

531
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:28,240
she didn't want us to know that she was wise

532
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,680
to her husband and the landist woman, because then we

533
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,400
wouldn't know she had a motive to kill her. Uh huh.

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,680
But once she found out her husband was gonna live

535
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,680
and might admit he had told her the whole story,

536
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:40,480
she decided to spell the works. That's right. She thought

537
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,319
it would look better coming from her than it would

538
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:44,640
if we latched on to it ourselves. But instead it

539
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,640
cooked her. Well, she's not cooked yet, Corbett just about

540
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,480
with the confession and all, but I was her final

541
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:54,559
judgment until the jury comes in. Why so cautious all

542
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:57,480
of a sudden, Mike, just like to practice what I preach,

543
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920
and I've been preaching. Is not a little lout of

544
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,440
character for you? Could be? The fact seems to me

545
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:07,359
this whole case is out of character for you. I'll

546
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,799
come and there are only two gals in it. One

547
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:12,039
of them gets herself bumped off, you pin the job,

548
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:14,279
and the other one and that leaves your holding hands

549
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:19,599
with me. No, no, no, you're overlooking one thing. Corbett.

550
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:25,720
White sat the receptionist in Murdoch's office. She's waiting and

551
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:28,640
I'll just have time to pick her up. So here's

552
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:41,720
where you get off. Good night, sergeant, The Case of
