1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,440 The story you are about to hear is true. 2 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,320 Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. 3 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:24,560 Fatima cigarettes, best of all long cigarettes, brings you dragnet. 4 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:34,160 You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned to narcotics detail. 5 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,400 A large hospital in your city is held up. Ten thousand dollars in high-grade narcotics is 6 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,760 stolen. The bandits escape. Your job, get them. 7 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:53,000 If you want a long cigarette, smoke the best of all long cigarettes. 8 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,920 Smoked extra mild Fatima. Yes, Fatima is the king-size cigarette which contains 9 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,080 the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild. 10 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,200 To give Fatima a much different, much better flavor and aroma than any other 11 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,240 long cigarette. That's why Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast. 12 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,800 Enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. Best of all long cigarettes. 13 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:26,320 It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 14 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:38,120 DRAGNET, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the 15 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,720 Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an 16 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,080 actual case from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, 17 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160 DRAGNET is the story of your police force in action. 18 00:01:51,160 --> 00:02:00,400 It was Monday, October 23rd. It was foggy in Los Angeles. We were working a day watch out of 19 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,160 narcotics detail. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Captain Kernel. My name is Friday. 20 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:10,440 It was 716 a.m. when we got to St. Christopher's Hospital, the pharmacy. 21 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:21,120 How you do? Yes? Police officer, sister. You'd like to see Sister Mary Benedict? I'm she. 22 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,920 Mother Superior sent us down to see you, sister. We're investigating narcotic robbery. 23 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:29,120 Oh yes, there have been quite a few policemen here in the past hour. I believe it was the 24 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:38,760 fingerprint men who just left. Just a minute, I have their card. Yes, they were from Layton 25 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,800 fingerprint division. Stahl and the boys from Layton Prince. Yes, that's right. Sergeant 26 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,360 Harland Stahl. Sister, we're the investigating officers assigned to the case. This is Sergeant 27 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,040 Romero. My name is Friday. Are you a lieutenant? No, I'm a sergeant. I wonder if you could 28 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,440 start right from the beginning for us. Just tell us what you know about the robbery. Well, 29 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720 after mass I went to breakfast and then I came downstairs here to the pharmacy to open 30 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,760 up. You keep the pharmacy locked overnight? Oh yes, always. We always assign an intern 31 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,640 on night duty. He has the key in case any medicines are needed during the night. He's 32 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:14,120 authorized to issue what may be needed upon the doctor's request. Who else has a key to 33 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,800 the pharmacy, sister? Well, they're just three keys. Mother Superior keeps one at her desk 34 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,680 and we have one for the intern on duty and I have one. All right. You want to go on? 35 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,800 When I got down here this morning I started to unlock the door and found it ajar. There 36 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,800 were no lights on. I snapped on the wall switch. That one. That's when I saw young Jimmy Lyons. 37 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,280 That's the intern? Yes, he was unconscious on the floor. I could see his head had been 38 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,960 cut. He was bleeding profusely. What'd you do then? I called Mother Superior and she 39 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,920 came right down. Dr. Spencer was summoned. He came in and started administering aid to 40 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,040 intern Lyons there on the floor. Was that when you found out the narcotics were missing? 41 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,600 No, not just at that moment. Both Mother Superior and myself were quite worried about young Lyons 42 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,760 condition. It was really Mother Superior who first noticed the narcotics safe had been 43 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,520 tampered with. Your stories don't exactly jive there, sister. How do you mean? Mother 44 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,320 Superior gives you credit for first noticing a theft. Oh my, no. She's very charitable 45 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,080 but she's the first one who pointed to the safe. She's very observant. I understand. 46 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,640 Go ahead, please. Upon checking the safe we found that someone had taken our entire store 47 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:30,640 of narcotics, everything. Is that the safe over there? Yes, that's the narcotics safe. 48 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,680 Don't touch that, Mr. Friday. No? No, never. Nothing is to be touched until the police 49 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,000 have completed their investigation. Clues. Well, we're the police, sister. Then do you 50 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,640 have all the clues you need? Well, I wouldn't know but the men from Layton Fingerprints 51 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,600 have dusted everything here so it's all right to touch things now. That was Mr. Harland 52 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,440 Stahl and his men? Yes, that's right. Oh, I didn't know. We understand you have the inventory 53 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:01,440 list. Yes, I have it on my desk. Here. Thank you. We keep a running inventory so that's 54 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:13,320 the exact amount that's missing. Yes, ma'am. Cocaine and morphine. No bird's eye, Joe. 55 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,160 Big haul, huh? Looks like about ten thousand worth. I'd like to have a copy of this inventory, 56 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,080 ma'am. Would you take the carbon? I'd like to keep the originals for my monthly file. 57 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,240 I'll be fine. Outside of this intern lines, nobody saw whoever it was. No. Mother Superior 58 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,960 and I have interrogated everyone. We made a thorough investigation on our own. I took 59 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,040 notes. That so? Yes, that's the way Father Brown does it. Father Brown? Yes, he's an 60 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:45,040 expert detective. Brown. You wouldn't mean Thad Brown. No, Father Brown. Father Brown. 61 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:52,040 You people have your own detectives now? Oh, my, no. He's not a regular detective. He's 62 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,240 more like Mother Superior and myself. Is that right? Yes, he's in England. Solved some really 63 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:04,240 difficult cases. Here, I'll show you. See right here? The Triple Cross, another exciting 64 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Father Brown mystery by G.K. Chesterton. Oh. Yes, all but one of the Father Brown books. 65 00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:18,500 Mother Superior has it. I get it after she finishes. What's the condition of the intern? 66 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:22,500 He's resting comfortably. Dr. Spencer says he'll be all right. Had to take nine stitches 67 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:29,500 in his scalp. We'd like to talk to him. I'm sure that'll be all right. I'm sorry. I'm 68 00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:36,500 sure that'll be all right. I don't have to tell you. We all think this is a terrible 69 00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:43,020 thing. Yes, Sister, it is. All those narcotics. Whoever took them will distribute them, won't 70 00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:47,140 they? Well, that's our guess, Sister. The stuff will be sold to addicts. What makes a dope 71 00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:51,540 addict? How do they get started? Why do they do it? I don't know, Sister. They give you 72 00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:56,780 a lot of reasons. None of them good. None of them good. And for a few moments of what? 73 00:06:56,780 --> 00:07:00,780 Tonight they have it and tomorrow they have nothing. That's about the size of it, Sister. 74 00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:07,780 The stars are setting and the caravan starts for the dawn of nothing. The Bible? No, Omar 75 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:14,900 Qayyem. Before we left St. Christopher's Hospital, we talked with intern James Lyons since he 76 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:21,900 was slugged from behind. He failed to see his assailant. He could tell us nothing. The 77 00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:33,260 entire hospital staff was screened thoroughly. They could add nothing to what we already 78 00:07:33,260 --> 00:07:38,220 knew. Between six and seven o'clock that morning, $10,000 worth of high-grade prescription 79 00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:43,180 narcotics had been stolen. Somewhere in the city of Los Angeles was the answer. As in 80 00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:47,660 all narcotics cases, speed is the prime factor. Whoever held those narcotics wouldn't waste 81 00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:52,340 any time diluting or cutting it and making it ready for quick sale. Our job was to stop 82 00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:57,340 them. Five minutes past 8 a.m. we checked in with Sergeant Harlan Stahl at Laken Fingerprints 83 00:07:57,340 --> 00:08:02,620 Detail. Not much help, is it? That's all you got, huh? The safe was clean, not a print 84 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:07,740 on it. No prints anywhere in the room. Slugged the intern from behind, took his keys, tore 85 00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:12,860 a belt loop off his trousers, opened the safe and waltzed out. Couldn't have been cleaner. 86 00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:19,860 You didn't get anything on your end, huh? Nothing. Gentlemen? Captain? I picked one up. Who 87 00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:23,860 is he? Junker by the name of Babe Kellogg. He's really stinging. It's seeing Steve, but 88 00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:30,860 he's coming out of it. Let's go talk to him. Check you later, Stahl. Yeah. What's the 89 00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:35,860 story on him? Waldo's and Hunt picked him up. Downtown L.A. He was sitting in a parked car 90 00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:39,860 at Fourth and Broadway. I thought at first he was a 390, but they couldn't raise him. 91 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:43,860 He's down this way. What else? Waldo's figured he must be geared up so they rolled up his 92 00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:47,860 sleeve to look for the spike marks they found him. Find anything on him? Yeah, there were 93 00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:52,860 two vials of ammo in the seat behind him beside him, prescription stuff. You got that list 94 00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:59,860 of serial numbers from the hospital? Yeah, right here. All right, let's go in. Waldo's? 95 00:09:00,860 --> 00:09:05,860 Yeah, Captain? Try to get a list of the serial numbers on that hospital heist. Hop down 96 00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,860 and check him against the vials you found in his car. Here you are, Waldo. Thanks, Joe. 97 00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:23,860 How are you feeling, babe? Am I all right? Kellogg is his Friday in Romero Central Division. 98 00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:30,860 I see him. You want to tell us about it? Nothing to tell. Living high, aren't you? I'm unusual. 99 00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:35,860 It's not the way I get it. You're scoring good, prescription stuff. Birthday present 100 00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:40,860 from a friend. Who is it? One who keeps his friendship. Who's your connection, babe? I 101 00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:45,860 don't know. You know that morphine we picked out of your car is hot. Is it an all of it? 102 00:09:45,860 --> 00:09:49,860 Hospital pharmacy was knocked over this morning. If the numbers on those vials of yours match 103 00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:54,860 up, you're in a real jam. No numbers on them? You might as well tell us where you got it. 104 00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:58,860 I'm not going to be a fagin' for you. Nobody's asking to be a fagin', Kellogg. That's high 105 00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:02,860 powered stuff. We don't get anybody else that can go hard for you. I'm not going to bite 106 00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:07,860 the hand that feeds me. You want to stand alone on this one, not the idea? I didn't say 107 00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:11,860 that. One of us isn't going to go along and hold your hand. How about it? Who's your 108 00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:15,860 connection? All right, it isn't going to be a long wait, Kellogg. As soon as Walters gets 109 00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:19,860 back with those serial numbers, you can play hero all afternoon. It'll be on the 12th floor 110 00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:23,860 of the county jail, babe. You won't have to wait long there either. The minute you put 111 00:10:23,860 --> 00:10:26,860 one foot in that courtroom, the judge will throw you, throw everything he's got at you. 112 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:32,860 Two bottles of drugstore stuff? Robbery, Kellogg. Ten thousand dollars. This is good, but two 113 00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:35,860 bottles ain't worth that much. You only show a part of it, maybe you got the rest of it 114 00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:41,860 at your plant. You got my plant. 1931 Essex, four wheel brakes. Your car's being checked 115 00:10:41,860 --> 00:10:48,860 out. You didn't find any more, did you? No, I couldn't be that lucky. You feel pretty 116 00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:52,860 good now, but you'll get a yen on. You won't help me, you never do. When's the last time 117 00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:59,860 you helped us? Your memory's worse than mine. I helped you. I helped you guys a lot. Don't 118 00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:06,860 you remember the Frank Smith plant? No. 1933, Friday night last. I led you right to Smitty's 119 00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:11,860 plant. Smitty didn't have no geezer like he found on me. He was a big man. We turned up 120 00:11:11,860 --> 00:11:17,860 four kites on him. Not for us you didn't. Sure I did. Right here in Kansas City. I done 121 00:11:17,860 --> 00:11:23,860 you a big favor that night. Friday night last. A different town on a different night, babe. 122 00:11:23,860 --> 00:11:30,860 You're kidding. In the St. Louis? Singing Steve, yeah. Don't kid me along, this is Kansas 123 00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:36,860 City. How rich is St. Louis? You're in Los Angeles, babe. Los Angeles, California. You're 124 00:11:36,860 --> 00:11:41,860 kidding. Clennard wouldn't do that to me. Who's Clennard? Levin from Baltimore. Hangs out 125 00:11:41,860 --> 00:11:46,860 down at the Continental Hotel. That's in Kansas City? Yeah, Marty Clennard. Tough cop. 126 00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:52,860 He said he'd make a hut for me. He didn't want me in KC. Gave me a floater at a time. 127 00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:57,860 That's why I came here to St. Louis. You're in Los Angeles, babe. You got it? Los Angeles. 128 00:11:57,860 --> 00:12:04,860 Oh yeah, you told me. Want to step outside a minute? Yeah. Stay with him, Romero. Right. 129 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:12,860 That's it. Checks out, huh? Somebody cut through the serial number stamps on the vials, but 130 00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:16,860 you can still make them out. The two vials of morphine we found in Kellogg's car were 131 00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:21,860 from the hospital pharmacy. Thanks, Walters. Let's try it again Friday. Right. 132 00:12:26,860 --> 00:12:30,860 All right, babe, now let's cut out the jokes. Those two vials you had came from the hospital. 133 00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:34,860 The numbers check out. No numbers on those vials. How do you know? You probably didn't 134 00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:39,860 even look at them. Oh yeah, I looked. No numbers on them. We found them all right. I don't see 135 00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:45,860 how you could read them. I couldn't. Why not? Somebody scratched them off. Who, babe? You 136 00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:51,860 wouldn't know. Try us. How much heat do I have to stand if I take it along? Plenty. There 137 00:12:51,860 --> 00:12:55,860 was an intern slugged on that job. Hurt pretty bad. They're going to tag you for assault, too. 138 00:12:55,860 --> 00:13:00,860 I never hurt anybody in my life. How do we know? I just told you. We don't know you didn't 139 00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:06,860 pull this job. We haven't got any proof. Once more, what's the count? Goes like this, babe. 140 00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:11,860 First degree robbery, five years to life. Assault with a deadly weapon, one to ten. 141 00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:16,860 Violation of the State Narcotics Act, one to fifteen. You can add. They'll lose you up there. 142 00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:21,860 You can get a real yen on by that time. There's no buzzing up at Q. I can't go that route. 143 00:13:21,860 --> 00:13:25,860 Where'd you get the stuff? I'd rather be a faggot than spend fifty years at the joint. 144 00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:30,860 You convinced us. Where'd you get it? Anybody turn faggot before they spend fifty years at Q. 145 00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:37,860 No, I can't go that route. Where'd you get it, babe? From some joy popper. Who? 146 00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:42,860 I gave him seven hundred bucks. Clean me. Who? Comfort me, passing you and softfell 147 00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:47,860 as a croaker. I can spot a guy who's been hitting speed balls a mile away. I knew he 148 00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:52,860 wasn't any croaker. What was his name? He was scorned good somewhere. Oh, that Cecil and 149 00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:58,860 Mary. Now I know where he got us. Give us his name, babe. He's a bit player in pictures 150 00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:03,860 Leonard Castle. Where is he? You're my Arizona. My location. How could he be on a location 151 00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:07,860 when you bought that stuff from him this morning? Half the plane this morning he was on his 152 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:14,860 way. Leonard Castle. Picture actor, that right? You got it. Run it down. 153 00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:19,860 Ten a.m. We checked the name Leonard Castle through R. and I. We found nothing. We looked 154 00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:27,860 in the phone book and got the number. Garfield 3711. Central casting. Central casting. 155 00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:32,860 Los Angeles Police Department calling. Yes, sir. Do you have a Leonard Castle registered 156 00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:37,860 with you? One moment. Yes, we do. I wonder if you could tell me if he's working. Oh, just 157 00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:42,860 a minute. I have his card right here. Yes, he's working. He's doing crime report for Schumann 158 00:14:42,860 --> 00:14:47,860 and Kester, independent production. They're shooting over at Sound Stages Incorporated. 159 00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:51,860 They're working today? Yes, he is. You're sure that company's not on location? No, we 160 00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:56,860 have no location showing for that picture. Could you give me his call, please? Surely. 161 00:14:56,860 --> 00:15:02,860 He had a nine o'clock call today, stage three. Did you wish to see Mr. Castle? Yeah. You 162 00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:05,860 shouldn't have any trouble locating him over there. We'll find him. 163 00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:20,860 You are listening to Dragnet, actual case histories taken from official police files. 164 00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:25,860 If you smoke a long cigarette, it will be in your interest to listen to these case histories 165 00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:33,860 taken from the file marked Fatima. On this card, reporter Lee Silver's statement. I need 166 00:15:33,860 --> 00:15:41,860 an extra mild cigarette. No other long cigarette I've tried is as mild as Fatima. Here is nurse 167 00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:46,860 Shirley Gilman's statement. When I go off duty, I appreciate a mild cigarette. Fatimas are 168 00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:52,860 extra mild. I can enjoy them more. On this card, the statement by drama critic Richard 169 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:58,860 Watts, Jr. Anyone can tell Fatima contains the finest tobacco. It's extra mild and has 170 00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:05,860 a much better flavor. All agree. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. And that's what 171 00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:11,860 more and more smokers are discovering every day. Yes, actual figures show extra mild Fatima 172 00:16:11,860 --> 00:16:17,860 has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast. So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. 173 00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:24,860 You'll agree. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 174 00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:27,860 Best of all, long cigarettes. 175 00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:38,860 Ten thirty a.m. Central casting gave us Leonard Castle's home address and detectives Long and Hunt 176 00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:42,860 went on immediate stakeout. Ben and I drove out to Sound Stages, Inc. and checked in at 177 00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:47,860 the reception desk. We showed them our identification. We were issued a pass to Sound Stage 3. 178 00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:58,860 This is Stage 1. Stage 3 ought to be down there. Yeah. Not very big, Lord. No, it's pretty 179 00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:01,860 small. Watch the truck, Ben. 180 00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:09,860 Think Kellogg knew what he's talking about? We'll know in a couple of minutes. Not very 181 00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:16,860 usual. Joy Popper pulling a job like that. We'll all start somewhere. That's a good way to 182 00:17:16,860 --> 00:17:21,860 get around a movie lot. Bicycle. Better than walking. Sure a thick fog, isn't it? Yeah, 183 00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:26,860 we don't have them often, but when we get them, they're a real pea souper. Well, here we 184 00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:30,860 are. You better hold it, Ben. Red light. They're shooting in there. Oh, yeah, I didn't see. 185 00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:39,860 Stage 5, you know. Couldn't tell you. All clear. Let's go in. 186 00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:54,860 Hey, uh, fella. Yeah? What if you can tell us where we can find Leonard Castle? Sure. 187 00:17:54,860 --> 00:18:02,860 Rosie, call Leonard Castle, will you? Okay. Leonard Castle. Leonard Castle. Guess we can 188 00:18:02,860 --> 00:18:07,860 wait over here by the phone, huh? He'll be right here. Thank you. Rosie, you call me? 189 00:18:07,860 --> 00:18:12,860 Ladies and gentlemen, I want to see you. Thanks, Rosie. You want to see me? Your name, Leonard 190 00:18:12,860 --> 00:18:17,860 Castle? Yeah, that's right. Police officers? Yeah. There's some place where we can talk. 191 00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:22,860 Is this all right? I got to stick close. I might be in the next shot. All right. You know 192 00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:27,860 a fella by the name of Babe Kellogg? No. He says he knows you. No, I never heard of him. 193 00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:35,860 You sure? Put us on a bell, George. Hold the word. Quiet down. Quiet. Have to hold it a 194 00:18:35,860 --> 00:18:40,860 minute. They're lining up a shot. Lefty, move that through to about a foot and a half to 195 00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:49,860 your right. Hands in. Hold it right there. Make it a little hotter. Cup with turns. Whoa, 196 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:56,860 whoa. That's got it. Backstay. Give me your ink, you think. Right here. Camera left. 197 00:18:56,860 --> 00:19:00,860 Harry. No. When Fred Conrad crosses over at the table, can you help me out a little? Can 198 00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:04,860 you bring this one down about two points on the dimmer? It's done. Time to get that? 199 00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:10,860 Uh-huh. All ready, Miller. Mr. Conrad? Yes, sir? Take it real easy. Remember, you don't 200 00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:14,860 know your sergeant's got a clue until he comes to you with it. All right. You're 201 00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:19,860 anticipating a little bit, OK? Uh-huh. Let's try it. Bob, watch that mic shatter. We're 202 00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:24,860 getting it on that wall. Am I out now? Not too much. You can read a little. That's fine. 203 00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:34,860 You're clear. All ready? All ready. We can try one. Turn him over. Rolling. Speed. Action. 204 00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:39,860 All right, Chief. As soon as I get all the clues, I'll be right down. 205 00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:46,860 Piece of that broken window, huh? That's right. It's plastered with fingerprints. Yeah? 206 00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:53,860 We got our man. Cut. Save him. Let's hold his glass, folks. You never heard of 207 00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:58,860 Babe Kellogg, huh? That's right. Where were you at six o'clock this morning, Ken? In bed. 208 00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:01,860 We got men out to your place checking. What's it all about? Between six and seven o'clock 209 00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:04,860 this morning, somebody robbed the pharmacy at St. Christopher's Hospital. They slugged 210 00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:08,860 the intern, made off with over $10,000 worth of narcotics. Yeah? If we find you were in 211 00:20:08,860 --> 00:20:12,860 bed between six and seven, you're clear. Well, I was. Anybody to back up that alibi? 212 00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:17,860 The line lady, I guess you'd know. What time she generally get up? Oh, I don't know. Why? 213 00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:20,860 She couldn't very well back you up. She was still asleep. Well, she's usually up early. 214 00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:23,860 Thought you said you didn't know what time she got up. Well, I meant I don't usually know. 215 00:20:23,860 --> 00:20:28,860 What you knew this morning? No. And you don't know Babe Kellogg. Stimmer down, everybody. 216 00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:36,860 Let's have a glass. Nine o'clock. What do you read on that junior, Harry? Nine plus. 217 00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:43,860 Make it a little hotter. A little hotter, Jack. That's it. Whoa. Ten plus, Steve. That's it. 218 00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:49,860 How about it, Steve? Any time. Turn him over. Rolling. 219 00:20:49,860 --> 00:20:57,860 State action. All right, Chief. As soon as I get all the clues, I'll be right in. 220 00:20:57,860 --> 00:21:03,860 Look what I found, Ted. A piece of broken window, huh? That's right. It's plastic with prints. 221 00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:09,860 Yeah. We got our man. Cut. Jake, you said plastered with prints. 222 00:21:09,860 --> 00:21:13,860 The line writes plastered with fingerprints. You got to say the whole word. 223 00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:16,860 They'll never know what you mean in Vancouver. Come here. I'll talk to you. 224 00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:21,860 Hold the work. Keep it quiet. That's Milly. He's a tough director, but he's a good one. 225 00:21:21,860 --> 00:21:25,860 How long you been doing this kind of work, Cas? Oh, six, seven years. What pictures you been in? 226 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:29,860 Oh, I don't think you'd have noticed. They're mostly small parts. What kind of parts you got in this picture? 227 00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:34,860 I'd like to play a cop. What would you like to do? In this picture? No. What's your ambition? You going to stay in pictures? 228 00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:40,860 Yeah, I'd like to. I'd like to get a few bigger parts if I could. It's pretty tough to try and set yourself to producer if you can't see on film. 229 00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:45,860 Money's pretty good, though, isn't it? It all depends. It's a different deal on each picture you do. 230 00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:51,860 You have an agent? No. I did have. He wasn't doing anything for me, so I let him go. I'm not represented. 231 00:21:51,860 --> 00:21:56,860 Pretty hard to build any kind of a name without an agent, isn't it? It all depends. If you can keep up a good front, nice car. 232 00:21:56,860 --> 00:22:01,860 That's all that counts in this town. You really believe that, do you? I don't you. I don't know much about it. I'm not an actor. 233 00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:06,860 You said you didn't know Babe Kellogg at all, didn't you? No, I don't know. You said you saw your lanny at six o'clock this morning. 234 00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:10,860 No, I didn't say that. There's the theater on Milton and the director. Would you like to meet him? 235 00:22:10,860 --> 00:22:15,860 What time do you see your lanny this morning? Oh, Mr. Milton. Yeah, Castle? When are you going to get to me, Milly? You need me in the shop? 236 00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:19,860 No, still on the same thing. We'll get a eulog after lunch. You can stay with your friends. Okay. 237 00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:24,860 What time is the break for lunch, Castle? This company usually breaks around 12.30. 238 00:22:24,860 --> 00:22:28,860 It's only 11.15. Maybe we can go outside and talk. The director said he didn't need you. 239 00:22:28,860 --> 00:22:32,860 Why, you never want to believe the director. It's always the first assistant. We could check with him, couldn't we? 240 00:22:32,860 --> 00:22:36,860 Oh, I don't like to do that. I hate to ask any favors. He said he wasn't going to use you until after lunch. 241 00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:41,860 Well, it isn't a good policy to bother the first assistant. Well, it's probably better in here anyway. 242 00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:47,860 I didn't see any place to sit down outside. Unless you have a car in the lot. Do you have a car? No, I don't. 243 00:22:47,860 --> 00:22:51,860 I thought you told us you had a car. No, I didn't tell you that, did I? 244 00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:55,860 Well, you said something about keeping up a good front, nice car. Isn't that what you said? 245 00:22:55,860 --> 00:23:00,860 Oh, sure, I have a car. I don't know what I was thinking about. Yeah, I have a car. 246 00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:02,860 I thought you said you had a car. 247 00:23:02,860 --> 00:23:05,860 I tell you, this picture act will drive you crazy. I don't know what I'm saying. 248 00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:08,860 Maybe you made a mistake about Babe Kellogg. Do you know him? 249 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:11,860 No, I'm sure about that. I don't know any Babe Carson. Kellogg? 250 00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:15,860 Kellogg, you know, I don't know him. Would you mind showing us your wallet? 251 00:23:15,860 --> 00:23:18,860 What for? You want to see my identification? Can we see the wallet, please? 252 00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:23,860 All right. Here. No, you hold it. Would you open it up? 253 00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:27,860 Quiet, please. All right, Chief. Okay. Fair enough. 254 00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:29,860 Roy? 255 00:23:30,860 --> 00:23:35,860 Babe. All right. Nice and easy now. Fingerprints, Jake. 256 00:23:35,860 --> 00:23:38,860 Right. Action. 257 00:23:38,860 --> 00:23:42,860 All right, Chief. As soon as I get all the clues, I'll be right in. 258 00:23:44,860 --> 00:23:47,860 Look what I found, sir. A piece of broken window, huh? 259 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:50,860 That's right. It's plastered with fingerprints. 260 00:23:50,860 --> 00:23:52,860 Yeah. We got our man. Cut. 261 00:23:52,860 --> 00:23:54,860 Same. 262 00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:56,860 No talking. 263 00:23:56,860 --> 00:24:01,860 See how much money you got in your wallet, Castle. No, you hold it. Just count it for us. 264 00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:07,860 Well, there it is. What about the rest of it in there? 265 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,860 All right, I didn't see it. 266 00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,860 All right, count it. Just a few in there, here. 267 00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,860 Count it. All right. 268 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:15,860 Let's see. 269 00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:18,860 Well, I can see 450s right there on top. That's 200, isn't it? 270 00:24:18,860 --> 00:24:24,860 Yeah. That's 300. 400. 450. 271 00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:26,860 Yeah, go on. 272 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:29,860 I didn't know I had this much. 273 00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:32,860 That's 250 more. That makes 700, doesn't it? 274 00:24:32,860 --> 00:24:33,860 It's more than I thought I had. 275 00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:37,860 There's two more tens and a five there. That's $725, Castle. 276 00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:38,860 Yeah. 277 00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:39,860 Doing pretty well on this picture, huh? 278 00:24:39,860 --> 00:24:40,860 It's not all picture, Mike. 279 00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:42,860 All right, you can put your wallet away. 280 00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:43,860 Thanks. 281 00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:45,860 If you didn't make this money on the picture, where'd you get it? 282 00:24:45,860 --> 00:24:47,860 Played old cards last night? Played pretty late? 283 00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:48,860 Yeah, pretty late. 284 00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:49,860 Weren't you tired this morning? 285 00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:50,860 No. 286 00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:53,860 Not even when you got up at six? Did I say I got up at six? 287 00:24:53,860 --> 00:24:56,860 Now, listen, Castle, you don't know what you said, but one thing's sure you're lying to us. 288 00:24:56,860 --> 00:24:59,860 You know babe Kellogg and you owe him well enough to sell him two vials of high-grade morphine. 289 00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:00,860 Oh, you're wrong about that. 290 00:25:00,860 --> 00:25:01,860 All right, then you set us straight. 291 00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:03,860 Kellogg says he paid you $700 for this stuff. 292 00:25:03,860 --> 00:25:05,860 You got over 700 in your wallet. That's more than you need for lunch money. 293 00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:07,860 Now, this could be a coincidence.
