goes. 207 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,520 Some of his friends I've met. 208 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,520 He sure roped me in. 209 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,520 He said there wasn't going to be any rough stuff. 210 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,520 You were carrying an SNW-38? 211 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Sure, sure. 212 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,520 When they got outside the jewelry shop, Cresta jammed a gun in my hand. 213 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,520 I had to put it away, get it out of sight. 214 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,520 Believe me, Joe, he roped me into this. 215 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,520 It sounds like an alibi, I know, but I just... 216 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,520 This is your second time around, Mac. 217 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 218 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 219 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 220 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:24,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 221 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:51,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 222 00:07:51,520 --> 00:08:10,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 223 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:25,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 224 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:44,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 225 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:59,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 226 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:15,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 227 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:30,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 228 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:46,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 229 00:09:46,520 --> 00:10:01,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 230 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:16,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 231 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:31,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 232 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:46,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 233 00:10:46,520 --> 00:11:01,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 234 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:16,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 235 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:31,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 236 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:46,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 237 00:11:46,520 --> 00:12:01,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 238 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:16,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 239 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:31,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 240 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:46,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 241 00:12:46,520 --> 00:13:01,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 242 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:16,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 243 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:29,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 244 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:50,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 245 00:13:50,520 --> 00:14:05,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 246 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:20,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 247 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:35,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 248 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:50,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 249 00:14:50,520 --> 00:15:05,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 250 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:20,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 251 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:35,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 252 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:50,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 253 00:15:50,520 --> 00:16:05,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 254 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:18,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 255 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 256 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:35,520 I'm not going to let you get away with this. 257 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,400 domestic tobacco, superbly blended to make Fatima extra mild. 258 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,360 You'll find Fatima tastes much better. 259 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,120 Fatima's superb blend gives you a much different, much better flavor and aroma than any other 260 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,400 long cigarette. 261 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,000 You'll find Fatima tops in cigarette quality. 262 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,240 Fatima has always stood for the best in cigarette quality. 263 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,160 For a new year of great smoking enjoyment, buy Fatima in the appealing golden yellow 264 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,200 package. 265 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:15,120 You'll agree, Fatima is the best of all long cigarettes. 266 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:19,440 In the course of his career, the police officer has afforded two diverse views of the criminal. 267 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,720 At first, the rookie cop is taught to distrust the criminal at every turn without exception. 268 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080 He's schooled in the thousand and one ways in which the criminal operates. 269 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320 His psychology, his mode of operation. 270 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,800 Then, when he's thoroughly acquainted with the methods of the criminal and how best to detect them, 271 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 the police officer starts to learn the most difficult lesson of all. 272 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,360 How to distinguish between the confirmed criminal and the law breaker in whom there is hope 273 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,940 of rehabilitation. 274 00:17:44,940 --> 00:17:48,080 After nine and a half years of police work, my first experiment in this field was with 275 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,080 Max Tyler. 276 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,120 I'd given him two chances to prove himself and he'd lost on both of them. 277 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,040 So did I. 278 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,400 Two months before his parole hearing, which might have given him his freedom, Max Tyler 279 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,240 had suddenly decided to escape. 280 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,280 How he figured it, I didn't know, but it was my job to find him. 281 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,320 At five o'clock that afternoon, Ben and I met in the chief of detective's office. 282 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Two officers, Holland and Grayson from the state adult authority escape detail were there. 283 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,120 How did Tyler manage his escape, Grayson? 284 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,120 Same old story. 285 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:15,520 They figured they could trust him up there. 286 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,200 He had a good job on the prison farm. 287 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,200 They trusted him. 288 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,200 When did they find out he was gone? 289 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,400 On the early morning count. 290 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Have you checked his relatives out in Inglewood yet? 291 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,280 Yeah, we have. 292 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,080 We've got the home staked out, recovering all the places we figure he might go. 293 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,080 How about Mrs. Tyler? 294 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,480 You getting in touch with her, Friday? 295 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,360 Her relatives told us that she's on a weekend vacation with the two kids, staying with friends 296 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,360 down at Laguna Beach. 297 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:34,560 We got a call in to them. 298 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,560 Should be hearing from them soon. 299 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,760 I understand Tyler's a friend of yours, Friday. 300 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,320 He was ready for parole. 301 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,320 Yeah. 302 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,320 I was trying to help him along. 303 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,160 I thought the guy deserved a break. 304 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,160 He didn't need you, Joe. 305 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,160 He made his own. 306 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,600 Well, he was feeling bad. 307 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,280 You weren't the only one fooled, Friday. 308 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,560 He had the prison officials buffaloed, too. 309 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,560 Yeah, I know. 310 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,560 I helped convince them. 311 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,880 You got any leads on Tyler at all, Grayson? 312 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,440 I mean, from the time he broke prison? 313 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,440 Pretty strange. 314 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,440 I think they chased him as far as Stockton, and then they lost the trail completely. 315 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,040 The Stockton police in on the search? 316 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,040 Yeah, sure. 317 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,040 Funny. 318 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,320 The guy has no money, no car, we know of, no change of clothes. 319 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,800 You figure he's getting help from somebody? 320 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Could be. 321 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,800 Excuse me a minute. 322 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,800 Brown speaking. 323 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,800 Just a moment. 324 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,800 You, Friday. 325 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,800 Well, thank you. 326 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Friday. 327 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,800 Yeah. 328 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,800 When? 329 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,800 Where? 330 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,800 Just a minute. 331 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,800 Will you hold on, please? 332 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,800 It's the Tyler's friends down at Laguna Beach. 333 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Mrs. Tyler there? 334 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,560 No, she called them last night, about 7 o'clock. 335 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Told them she changed her plan, she wasn't coming. 336 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,480 She told them where she was going? 337 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,720 She wanted to know which highway would take her to Stockton. 338 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,240 We told the Tyler's friends in Laguna Beach to contact us immediately if they heard from 339 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,400 either Mr. or Mrs. Tyler. 340 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,720 We got on an APB on Dorothy Tyler, and then we drove out to interview her relatives in 341 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,720 Inglewood. 342 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,140 They told us that Mrs. Tyler had the two children with her. 343 00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:52,120 She had left their house at 6 p.m. the night before by taxi. 344 00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:54,680 As far as they knew, she didn't own a car. 345 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,480 We talked with some of her friends in the neighborhood. 346 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,240 The only thing they could tell us was that she had not borrowed a car from any of them. 347 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,000 We drove down to the telephone exchange where she was employed as an operator, and we spoke 348 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960 with a manager, a Mr. Ralph Cartwright. 349 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,920 I'm sorry, gentlemen, this is Mrs. Tyler's night off. 350 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Is there something I can help you with? 351 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000 When is Miss Tyler due back at work, Mr. Cartwright? 352 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,360 She's working the 10 to 7 starting tomorrow, due in at 10 a.m. 353 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,800 We understand that she's on a weekend vacation, huh? 354 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Yes, you see, today was payday, so she asked me if she could have her check ahead of time. 355 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,400 Said she had to have the money for the weekend. 356 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,400 Did you give her the check? 357 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,920 Oh, my, no, I couldn't give her the check ahead of time. 358 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,680 But I did do her a favor, just to help her over the weekend. 359 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:37,680 What was that? 360 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,680 I loaned her my car. 361 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:45,280 We got a complete description of the car together with a license number and called the office. 362 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,000 The information was broadcast to all units throughout the city and teletyped to all points 363 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,120 in the state. 364 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:54,020 Chief of Detective Thad Brown ordered an immediate stakeout on the telephone exchange where Mrs. 365 00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:55,020 Tyler was employed. 366 00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:58,560 The stakeout at the home of Inglewood continued. 367 00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,560 Another day passed. 368 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,280 We checked with the bank where Mrs. Tyler maintained her account. 369 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,480 It was 10.25 a.m. when we got back to robbery detail. 370 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Gentlemen, what did you find out? 371 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Miss Tyler closed her account three days ago, withdrew all her savings, $46.55. 372 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,680 They're not gonna go far on that. 373 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,640 Any word about that car she borrowed? 374 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,840 Teletype came in about an hour ago. 375 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,720 They found it just outside Santa Barbara abandoned. 376 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,720 Anyone see the Tylers? 377 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,720 No reports. 378 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,120 What are those poor kids making out? 379 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:26,880 He must be crazy and his wife too. 380 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,040 She was gonna help him pull an escape. 381 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,520 Why'd she have to drag the kids along? 382 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,360 It's the way some parents figure, Friday. 383 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,600 They owe their children nothing. 384 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,600 The children owe them everything. 385 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Call for you, Friday. 386 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Take it on two. 387 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,600 Oh,
