Speaker 1: Hello. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking oh Iris. Now
you have to cancel me out tonight. Angel, I'm on
my way to Cairo. No Cairo, Egypt, the land of
the Pharaohs.
Speaker 2: Mm hm.
Speaker 1: Seems someone they are started a new pyramid club. An
Army intelligence wants me to find out if they're paying
off in lead. Once again, the transcribed Adventures of the Falcon,
starring Less Damon.
Speaker 3: The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere,
those hard hitting detectives who like Mike Wearing, risk their
lives to aid law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 1: So join him now. When the Falcon solves the case
of the Lonely Hunter and the boy who first said
There's no place like home must have had me in mind,
But I never realized how much truth there was in
those five words. Jealami Intelligence picked up my option and
sent me flying to Egypt. And if you think I'm
the only one who feels this way, you might querry
Vince Torio. Mister Torio is a rugged looking gent sharing
a table with the character wearing the Tarbush in the
cafe El Kaala, near the Arab quarter of Cairo. Bence
is a long way from home. And obviously that's where
he feels charity begins. Beat it mach shniss I said,
beat it ums for the lover balla O, how I
hate this place. For my part, they can take it
and give it back to the Pharaohs.
Speaker 4: You are not very charitable to a land that granted
you asylum.
Speaker 1: Well, for my joe yus Vitz thinks where I made
my mistake was not going to Italy with Lucky.
Speaker 4: Lucky.
Speaker 1: He's a guy I told you about, the one I
used to work for.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: There was a sport Hussein. When we went into a
club of New York. All the flunkies used to knock
themselves up. My best places too, not sores like this boy.
Would I love to see him again?
Speaker 4: Then why did you come here?
Speaker 1: Because I was a big schmog. That's why Lucky would
have taken me with him. In a minute from now,
I had to come to Egypt, romantic land of the Nile.
When you watch how fast I shake the sahara dust
off my shoes. When I make a score, I gather
you mean money, That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 4: Then I have a proposition that might interest you. A
friend of mine has two kilos of pure opium he
would like smuggled into Morocco. Well, we pay one hundred pounds,
we could share it equally.
Speaker 1: Uh uh, and clothe me out. I'm not taking a
chance of winding up in your local fleabag for that
kind of.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll be Carol, Carol Morgan, beg your pardon.
Speaker 1: What's the matter?
Speaker 4: Baby?
Speaker 6: Don't you remember me Vince Toorio for Phragier making a mistake?
Speaker 1: Are you kid? And I'd recognize your trouble darling? No, Abdol.
Speaker 2: This gentleman thought I was someone else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess I did. No heart feeling, No,
of course not. Shall we go up to him anytime?
You're ready? There? I think you might enjoy seeing the
citadel was built by Saladean in the twelfth century. Well,
that's one for the book.
Speaker 4: The eyes play strange tricks.
Speaker 1: Say, huh, what'd you say?
Speaker 4: Yes, you are mistaken about the young lady.
Speaker 1: No I wasn't. It's Carol Morgan. All right. It sure
is a small world. Remember me telling you about this
guy Lucky I used to work for. Well, Carol was
his girl. I wonder who the character was whe her?
Speaker 4: Perhaps I can be of some assistance. He is Abdul Sadimbay.
Speaker 1: What do you pick up that accent?
Speaker 4: I believe he attended Oxford loaded eh if you mean wealthy?
The answer is yes, Well.
Speaker 1: What do you know? Leave it a little, Carol? The
land on her feet? You think you could scout around
and find out where she's staying.
Speaker 4: You have an idea, I have a couple.
Speaker 1: You know something? Yes, I've I was wrong about Egypt.
This could be the land of opportunity?
Speaker 2: Who is it? Demolically?
Speaker 1: Hello, Carol?
Speaker 2: I guess I should have known.
Speaker 1: I guess you should have Hey, this is quite a layout.
You want to see the jump where I'm staying? I
swear the flies are soap?
Speaker 2: What do you want?
Speaker 1: Well, you might at least ask me to sit down.
Speaker 5: It's wrong.
Speaker 1: It's been how long.
Speaker 4: Six years since I saw Incidentally?
Speaker 1: What do you hear from Lucky?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 1: That's because he don't know where to contact you.
Speaker 2: And he's not going to find out.
Speaker 1: There's no reason he should live and let live is
my motto.
Speaker 2: What are you getting at, Vince?
Speaker 1: Why you were just a young kid when you met Lucky?
What did you know you shouldn't learn better? You're being
hot on yourself, Carol. Anyone's entitled to make a mistake.
You just weren't used to the big loop.
Speaker 6: I learned fast enough. But that's all behind me, Vince.
I haven't done anything in the last six years. I
wouldn't want anyone to know about.
Speaker 1: Does that go for the Sultan? The Sultan that character
you were, the one with the fast His name is
Abdul sullim Bay, isn't.
Speaker 2: He How did you find that out?
Speaker 1: A friend of mine, yes, I've bin Ali told me.
YESA says he's loaded.
Speaker 2: If it's money you want, what kind.
Speaker 1: Of a heliot take me?
Speaker 2: Then? What do you want?
Speaker 1: You know? I always had a yen for you. What
of course I couldn't say anything. Well luck he was around,
but now it's different. Me old, I don't tell me
you've fallen for the Sultan. I said, let me go, okay, baby,
that's who you want and I can plan like that too.
That was gonna be nice, But you wouldn't let me. Okay.
What do you think the something will say when he finds.
Speaker 4: Out who you are?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't tell him how much?
Speaker 1: Tell you good?
Speaker 2: Eight hundred dollars?
Speaker 1: That'll make me laugh? What about all our jewelry Lucky
gave you.
Speaker 2: I gave it back.
Speaker 1: What do you call that rock on your finger?
Speaker 2: That's my own.
Speaker 1: We'll take it up. Come on, come on, Carol, give.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: Will you get out?
Speaker 1: Sure, but I'll be running at you again. We old
friends are to stick together. I'll be seeing your baby.
Oh captain, will you slow down to about ten knots?
I don't want to smoking to miss it. Look, Caro,
over there, that's old Cairo. Those ruins are part of
the Roman fortress of Bambin.
Speaker 5: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Better pay attention to how I'm going to ask questions later.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's all right, DARNI.
Speaker 1: How that island were passing is the aland the Broader.
According to our tradition, that's where Parah's daughter found Moses
and the bull rushes.
Speaker 2: That's very interesting, is it? What do you mean there's.
Speaker 1: Something bothering you for your role it is? I want
you to feel you can tell me there's nothing to tell.
That man you met yesterday in the cafe color told you.
Speaker 2: He was mistaken. You heard him admit it.
Speaker 1: He knew your name, he knew nothing of the kind.
You know how I feel about your daughny How does that.
Speaker 2: Give you a license to prior of my private affairs.
Speaker 1: I never maintained a deal, But for Heaven's sake.
Speaker 6: Stop needing me and take that hurt look out of
your eyes. It doesn't do a thing for you. Now
go away and.
Speaker 2: Leave me alone.
Speaker 1: Yes, have I.
Speaker 4: The pleasure of speaking with his Excellency abduor Sarimbei?
Speaker 1: Who is this?
Speaker 4: I am called Yusuf.
Speaker 1: Benali Yusef benale I.
Speaker 4: Could not expect his excellency to recognize the name. I
am unworthy of such honor, though our paths have crossed.
I was in the Cafe el Kala yesterday with a
foreigner when his Excellency entered with the American lady. So
my companion too, came from America. His name is Vincent Dorio.
If I can offer a suggestion, you might find it
to your advantage to investigate the gentleman.
Speaker 1: Why are you telling me all this, Yseuf?
Speaker 4: As it says in the Koran, we Muslims should be
helpful to one another. Who knows someday you may be
of some small service to me? Me an that show
you the.
Speaker 5: Way at you? Yes?
Speaker 1: If yeah, wait a minute, come on, loo Vince with
the WU. You don't remember now, well, it's been a
long time. The name is Wearing, Mike Wearing. Oh sure,
you're that private dick they call a falcon. It comes
back to you now, Yeah, but I don't remember in
fighting you when you just forget your manners? What in
the world of a possession to move into a dump
like this? I like the view, yeah, better on the
clear day you can see eight million flies. Lucky did
much better for himself. I hear tell he's got a
villa in Italy that's out of this world. How come
you too separated when you were deported? None of your business? No,
but it's Uncle Sam's I'm working for him these days.
What are you babbling up on Fi? Grant? I asked
you something worry Well, it's come to Uncle's attention that
narcotics are being smuggled into the States by way of Egypt.
We've got to hunch the traffic as being directed by
Lucky from Italy. What's that got to do with me? Well,
isn't it strange? I find you in Cairo and I'm
studying to be a maslm Oh, what's Carol Morgan's reason? Oh,
Lucky's old girlfriend.
Speaker 4: Is she here?
Speaker 1: You mean you didn't know? No, it's funny. I telled
the boy to our hotel yesterday. It looked exactly like
you and our luckwise guy. You can't blame me for
being suspicious, Vince, with you and Carol and Cairo looks
like the gathering of the clan. I taid, I haven't
seen her. Isn't that her diamond ring?
Speaker 5: Hah?
Speaker 1: You shouldn't leave it lying around, Vince. It's much too valuable.
How come she gave it to you? She's crazy for me.
There's no accounting for taste. I guess I'll take a
little ride over the Ministry of the Interior like to
join me. Not in your life, Come on, fellow, And
I said, not in your life, and I made it.
I'll put away that gun bench. You know you wouldn't
use it, wouldn't I? Well, yeah, I guess you would,
so that case it back. You can't hate a guy
for trying who can't personally. I can hit him like poison.
Cut it with that water, Mohammed. I believe our friend
is coming to thank you. I'll give it to him.
Play some of this, mister, wedding. What is it just
t water. Unfortunately, I'm afraid your headache. So just beginning, sir,
what the double are you talking about? Mohammed? Will you
be good enough to lift the blanket? You recognized the
gentleman as Vince Torreo. It was mister Torreo. Will probably
come as no shock to you. He was stepped to death.
Who did it imagine you'd be in the best position
to know? Wait a minute, where do you get off
asking these questions? Oh, forgive me, I should have introduced myself.
My name is Abdul Salombay.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I thought I recognized your affairs. I've seen you a
Carol Morgan. You're a friend of miss Morgan? Not exactly?
And would you care to tell me your version of
the ear fair here? Why should I? Because I found
you right next to mister Torreo's body and his chief
assistant to the Minister of the Interior. Don't give me
that I met the chief assistant. His name is Hassan Pasha.
You must have met him a week ago. What's that
got to do with anything? Well, when King Peruk abdicated, naturally,
there was a shake up in the local police. I
now hold the position have chief assistant. Oh no, oh, yes,
I'd love you to see our new headquarters. But frankly,
old chair, I don't think you like them one bit.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 1: They say there's nothing like travel the broadened one. That
must be true, because Egypt certainly flattened me out and
they really killed themselves to make things interesting for tourists.
Look at me after I was slug by Vince Torio.
I come to find Vince on the floor beside me
with a knife in his back. And if that isn't enough,
standing over us is a big shot in the local
police named Abdul Salim Bay. Now that's service for you.
I hate to rush your mister wedding, but anytime you're
right now, Wait minute, abdoor. You don't seriously believe I
murdered him. You admit quarreling with mister Torrio. Yes, and
he knocked me silly. So when did I have a
chance to kill him? I was unconscious when you found me.
You might have been chamming. Okay, then riddle me this.
If I was faking, why did I beat it before
you arrived? You probably didn't have the opportunity. You're real
anxious to pin this on me, aren't you. That's unfair,
mister Wedding. My only motive is to see justice done,
even if Carol Morgan is involved. I beg your pardon.
You should. Did you know Carol and Vince Torio were
old friends? You're lying? I tailored to our hotel yesterday.
Suppose he was blackmailing her? Ridiculous? And why did you
give him that diamond ring? All right, Abdul? What did
you do with it? Do with it? There was a
ring on that table when I walked in, and you
think I removed it? Yes? I do to protect Carol,
your mistaken, my friend. We'll see about her just a moment,
mister Wedding. Where do you think you're going or want
to see Carol?
Speaker 5: No, you're not.
Speaker 1: Oh does this mean I'm under arrest? I thought that
was fairly obvious. Okay, I'm doing Who are you calling?
American ambassador? Operator operator that Vanessa said him? Only I go. Yes, However,
I must caution you not to go too far away.
The contrary, old man, You can't go far enough to
please me. I shall notify your ambassador. My government finds
you persona angrata, which means you have six hours to
leave Egypt. And what about him, mister Torrio. It's no
problem after all when a man commits USA suicide. Oh
that's a hot one. I suppose he stabbed himself in
the back. Exactly what you forget? This is the mysterious Egypt.
The strangest things can happen here. How are you, old man?
I bear that in mind.
Speaker 5: M m.
Speaker 2: Hello, Carol, Yes, oh, darling, I'm so glad you called.
I want to apologize.
Speaker 1: Oh that is necessary, Carol. Do you love me? You
know I do, and you must have confidence in my judgment.
As Michael Wearing on his way over to see you,
Michael Waring, he was formerly a private investigator in the States.
At present he's with American intelligence.
Speaker 2: What does he want with me?
Speaker 1: There's no reason for alan. He asks you if you
know of Vincent Toio, deny it?
Speaker 2: But I don't know him.
Speaker 1: That's fine, darling. You just stick to that story later, sweetheart.
Right now, time is of the essence. Just remember you
never heard of Vincentorio. Yes, hello, Carol? Remember me?
Speaker 2: Should I Well?
Speaker 1: I like to think I made some kind of an impression.
The name is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 2: Mike Wearing, Oh.
Speaker 6: Of course, you're that private detective they call a form
not so loud.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to live it down. May I come in?
Speaker 2: Why not? I've got nothing to hide.
Speaker 1: Are you sure?
Speaker 2: Sit down?
Speaker 1: Thanks?
Speaker 2: What are you doing in Egypt?
Speaker 1: I was just about to ask you that Lucky's in Italy?
Isn't he?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know. I haven't seen him since he was deported.
Speaker 1: What do you hear from Vince Torio? Who don't tell
me you've forgotten good old Vince?
Speaker 2: How could I forget him when I never knew him
in the first place.
Speaker 1: He used to work for Lucky.
Speaker 2: Lucky never mixed business with pleasure.
Speaker 1: Just the same, you might be interested to learn that
Vince was murdered.
Speaker 2: Really, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1: I'd imagine you'd be glad keeps him from spilling anything
about your past, your new boyfriend, my boyfriend, Abdul Salem Bay.
Speaker 2: Suppose we leave Abdulla out of this.
Speaker 1: I wish I could, but he thinks I'm the guilty
critor Are you you know better angel than who is? Oh?
I can think of several possibilities you for one.
Speaker 2: I told you I didn't even know the man.
Speaker 1: I won't wash Carol, he was up to see you yesterday.
Speaker 2: You're mistaken.
Speaker 1: When he walked out, he had a diamond ring it.
How about that?
Speaker 2: How about what I see?
Speaker 1: You're wearing it again. Last time I saw it, Vince
had it in his room.
Speaker 2: Are you suggesting?
Speaker 1: I'm suggesting. There's only one way you could have gotten
it back. You took it after you killed Vince. Get out, okay,
but I'll be back, if only to turn the other cheek.
Take care of yourself, angel and I wish I had
time to Joseph Banale, who goes there. The friend sall,
I'm a lock him you, Yosef.
Speaker 4: I can be of service to you, Yes, indeed you can.
Speaker 1: My name is Mike Wearing, Mike Waying. Vince Torio suggested,
I look you up.
Speaker 4: You are acquainted with him.
Speaker 1: Well acquainted as hardly the word. We spent a nice
couple of hours together this afternoon. Vince tells me, you
know Carol like no one else.
Speaker 4: Oh, he's most kind.
Speaker 1: You are familiar with the Savoy Hotel.
Speaker 4: I was once employed there as a porter.
Speaker 1: Oh, whether this ought to be a steal? And there's
a young lady staying there named Carol Morgan. I think
you could get into her room.
Speaker 4: May I inquire for what purpose?
Speaker 1: She's wearing a diamond ring. I'd like you to get
it for me.
Speaker 4: You are not suggesting I steal it? Mm hmm by
the beard of Allah, I am offended.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, Yoseph. I yes, I got the wrong boy.
If you know any and wants to make uself a
fast hundred pounds.
Speaker 4: You will pay one hundred pounds for the ring on delivering.
Speaker 2: Please be seated.
Speaker 1: You're no longer offended.
Speaker 4: How could I possibly be? You have Vincentorio's friend, and
any friend of mister Torrios is a friend of mine.
It will be a pleasure to be of service.
Speaker 1: To you, Ministry of Interior.
Speaker 4: Have I the honor speaking with his Excellency Abdors having Be.
Who is this your servants, Sir Josuf Bennali?
Speaker 1: What is it you?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 4: I wish to prove my sincerity. Twenty minutes ago, I
was approached in the Cafel Callab by a gentleman named
Michael waring Well. He had an illegal proposition for me.
He wished me to enter the hotel room of the
American lady Caleral Morgan.
Speaker 5: And steal her ring.
Speaker 4: Really he offered me one hundred pounds stirring for the task.
Did I not do well in involving you?
Speaker 1: You are most Twise, I'll tell you what I'd like
you to do accommodate Miss Wedding.
Speaker 2: His excellency does not mind.
Speaker 1: On the contrary, his excellency insists on it. Just advise
me when the theft is successfully accomplished. May Allah aid
you in your task?
Speaker 4: Yourself over here, Ah, mister Waring, you get the ring.
It has been said of Joseph Binali that failure and
he are strangers. And miss Morgan gave it up with
scarcely a struggling.
Speaker 1: I knew I picked the right boy. All right, let's
have it.
Speaker 4: The gentleman is forgetting something?
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 4: I was promised one hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's right, you were fifty seven d eighty
five one hundred.
Speaker 4: They are No, you are most kind, and now I
am happy to complete my end of the bargain.
Speaker 1: Come to Papa.
Speaker 4: It is permitted to ask to what purpose you intend
to put this tournament?
Speaker 5: Yes it is.
Speaker 1: Indeed, this is a little gimmick that's going to give
us Vince Torio's killer what. Oh didn't I tell you
Vince is now on the land of Osyrus. But who
takes the question of the hour when I've got to
hunch this ring and provide the answer. I'm so happy
for you, mister Wering. Oh please keep your seats, gentlemen,
in case you've forgotten, I'm Abdul Salem bay. I didn't forget.
What you failed to remember was that I gave you
six hours to leave Cairo. I'll get out in time.
Doubt it. Collect me if I'm wrong. But the ring
your holding is the property of missus Cattle Morgan. How
would you know that elementary old man? I gave it
to her?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: And since I now find it in your possession, it
forces me to one conclusion. You're receiver of stolen much
I now wait a minute, your loss. Perhaps I am here.
I gave you six hours to leave my country, and
I'm afraid we're going to have to play host to
you for the next five to ten years. I guess
it proves even the best of us make mistake. Oh,
Mama warn me there were bed days like this, but
she neglected to mention they come once a week. No,
Mama wouldn't have approved She would have hated the Cafe
el Colla. She has a sinus condition, and the smoke
and the joint would have played the devil with it,
and there was certainly no place for her. Boy, when
you're caught with a hot piece of ice in your hands,
you can't very well insist it's a frame. But obviously
Abdul Salem Bay didn't think it was going to stop
me from trying. I suppose you'll maintain you had a
victim of circumstance, mister wedding, and you boys are pretty cute.
What in the world do you mean you and yourself
cooked up this little stunt between you.
Speaker 4: I swear I'll cut.
Speaker 1: It out yourself. You're breaking my heart, really, mister Werry,
I'm surprised at you. You expect me to believe this
is all coincidental. Frankly, old man, I don't care what
you believe, while you should, because I had no idea
this ring was stolen. I bought it in good faith.
It's most amusing, and if you search him you'll find
one hundred pounds. I paid him, no doubt. But you
knew the ring was miss Morgan's property, and you had
yusef to secure it for you. I wouldn't insist on
that theory. Why not might prove very embarrassing the Carol.
The last time I saw it was in Vince Torio's room,
shortly before he was murdered. And if yourself here got
it from miss Morgan, you see where that takes you.
I'm afraid not are You're not looking in the right place.
Suppose we adjourn to Carroll's hotel room and do a
little peaking there, and I hope, for your sake, she
can stand an investigation. I assure you, darling, there's nothing
to worry about. I just want you to answer a
few questions. I suppose you let me phrase them. Carol,
you recognize this man.
Speaker 4: No, the lady is mistaken.
Speaker 1: That's enough out of you yourself, sweetheart. I promise you
there's no reason to be frightened, but you must tell
the truth. Do you know him? His name is Yusuf Binali.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was up here about an hour ago.
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: He stole a ring, that's all?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is this it? Yes? Take a good look, Angel,
and you're sure it's the same one.
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Oh, I say, A diamond is the hardest substance in
the world. So let's see the way that knife. I
don't worry, Abdol. I'm just performing a little experiment. What
the devil are you doing? You call it? You've marred
the stone, and obviously it wasn't the diamond. I don't understand. No,
but you do, don't you, Carol, No, you're lying. This
is a paste copy of the ring Abdoll gave you.
Speaker 2: You're wrong.
Speaker 1: Iman admitted he gave a genuine article to Vince Torio.
Well didn't you?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sorry, Abdull.
Speaker 1: What for that proved you didn't kill him? What a lachillo?
Walked off with the McCoy, And if you had it,
you would have worn it instead of this phony In
the motive, the Todd murder was old fashioned robbery, right yourself?
Speaker 4: How would I know?
Speaker 1: Who would know better? You walk in on Vince while
I was out cold. You thought it was too good
a chance to miss, so you murdered him, waltzed off
with the rock, figuring I'd be blamed for both.
Speaker 4: Oh, you are wrong by the beard.
Speaker 1: No, there's no reason to go modest on the folks yourself.
You did a nice piece of work. I wouldn't think
of letting anyone else take the credit. I can't tell
you how much I appreciated your assistant Wedding. I don't
know what I what I'd have done without you, but
you'd rather well, you can appreciate my position. Oh sure,
you thought I was gonna nail either you or Carol
for Vince's murder. Actually I didn't care about myself, though
I suppose you considered me a suspect all or that. No, no,
I didn't. If you had killed Vince and taken the
ring some where or other, you would have arranged for
Caroll to get it back. The fact that she was
wearing the copy prof both of you were innocent. But hey,
what are we stopping here for. Isn't this your hotel? Well, well,
you'll have to start packing if you plan to leave
Egypt within the six hours I gave you, And I'll
wait a minute. I hope you don't take this personally,
old man, but you're such a troublemaker. I just as
soon not have you around. But you can't kick me out.
I'm an American citizen. For Route was king of all Egypt,
and you did it to him exactly, mister Wedding
