Hello? Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. Oh, Elsie. I'm glad you called. I'll have to skip it tonight, Angel. I got to play Spoilsport. Some boy I know is looking for fun with a gun, and I want to make sure he doesn't get a big bang out of life. Once again, the National Broadcasting Company brings you The Adventures of the Falcon, starring Les Damon. The Adventures of the Falcon, dedicated to private investigators everywhere. Those hard-hitting detectives who, like Mike Waring, risk their lives to aid law enforcement agencies... So join him now when the Falcon solves the case of the Weeping Willow. It's late afternoon in New York and a nervous young man named Joey Willow races down the fourth floor corridor of the Belmont building.
But Joey is in a hurry. When he comes to a door marked Lester Pharmaceuticals, he barges right in, almost knocking down its sole occupant.
Hey, take it easy, fella.
I'm sorry. You all right? Sure. Hey, you're limping.
Well, I have been for seven years.
Oh, you're a... You can say it. You must think I'm a jerk. Where's Lester?
He isn't in.
But he told me to meet him here at 12.
Well, I guess he was detained.
Look, my name is Joey Willow. Did they leave a package for me?
No.
You sure?
I'm positive.
How can you tell? Why don't you look around or something? Well, it couldn't be any use. What's your name? Al Romano. You work for Les? Mm-hmm.
What setup and opening scene introduces The Falcon and the Weeping Willow case?
Well, maybe you can help me out. I need a jolt. A jolt? Yeah. What are you talking about? Look, you don't have to worry. I'm one of Les's old customers. Didn't he ever mention a Joey Willard to you?
No.
Well, I'm one of the boys. Sorry. Here, maybe this will convince you. What are you rolling up your sleeve for? Yeah. You satisfied now? Let me see that. I told you I was no faker. I gotta have a shot.
Well, I'm sorry.
What do you mean you're sorry? You've got to give me one. I'll take anything. M, C, horse.
Look, Joey.
I tell you, I'm okay. Les knows me. Please, you got me. You don't know what it feels like. Well, I've got an idea. Oh, I get it. Trying to hold me up. Well, how much do you want? Look, Joey, you don't understand. No, you don't understand. I ran out last night. That's why I called.
Oh, Joey.
Lester. Lester. Am I glad to see you. I was just telling this fellow.
I know, I heard you.
Wait in my office. But I need a shot right now.
I said wait in my office. You won't be long. Just a couple of minutes. Well, Al? I didn't say anything. No, but you were thinking plenty. What a chump I've been. I was real stupid not to see what's going on here. And what is going on?
Who is Joey Willow and what prompts his desperate visit to Lester Pharmaceuticals?
Les, please.
Get back in there, will you?
Hurry, will you?
What are you going to do about him? Well, what would you recommend?
That boy's a dope addict.
You're kidding. You're not going to get away with this. Who's going to stop me? Maybe me. Listen, Gimpy. You just managed to get by on one leg now. Talk out of turn and you won't have a leg to stand on. Just think it over, Al. You'll see I've got a point there.
Who's there?
It's only me, Ruth.
What are you doing home?
I am. I quit my job.
You what?
Yeah.
I'm glad to sit down. Now, let me get this straight. You walked out on Lester? Mm-hmm. Why?
Because I didn't like the work.
Well, now isn't that just ducky? And since when can a man with your handicap be particular?
You don't understand, Luke. You know what I was doing? I was a pusher.
A what? A pusher. Those packages I was delivering contained narcotics. So? What do you mean, so? Well, somebody's got to do it.
