The Falcon - The Case Of Everybodys Gun

[upbeat music] Now, the case of Everybody's Gun.

[suspenseful music] It's Wednesday night in New York, and tall, sleepy-eyed Spencer Hollister has just admitted Jack Landis to his expensive penthouse apartment.

Landis, a stocky, good-looking young fellow, sits on the arm of a chair lighting a cigarette while Hollister walks to his desk, opens it, and reaches in.

He has just promised Landis a $5,000 check.

But when he pulls his hand from the drawer, instead of a checkbook, he has a gun in it.

All right, Landis, don't move.

I'm not moving.

You don't seem surprised.

I've learned to expect anything.

Well, will it surprise you to learn that I know all about you?

Not terribly.

You don't believe me.

Well, I happen to know your credentials are forged.

I happen to know you've converted almost all the checks to cash already, and you expect to cash those you collected this weekend first thing in the morning and clear out.

All right, you go to the head of the class.

Now what?

You have over $100,000 cash that you've swindled people out of by trading on their generosity.

Rather nasty business, wouldn't you say? There's really nothing lower than a charity fake.

I'll go sit in the corner.

People would be furious if they hear about it.

If?

You laid your plans carefully, but there are a few things you've overlooked.

For instance, you have me on your sucker list as someone with a lot of cash and no brains, right?

Next time I'll give my prospective donors an IQ test.

Underestimating my intelligence wasn't your biggest mistake.
