That information was to be passed on any of her friends or business acquaintances who 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,960 might try to contact her. After that we took Mae Washburn back to the office. After being 164 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,240 questioned thoroughly she was detained for further investigation. At 2 p.m. Ben and I met with Captain 165 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,040 Kearney, Central Narcotics and Inspector Virgil Beckner, State Narcotics Bureau, Southern Division. 166 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,720 Hundred thousand dollar buy, is that what they have in mind? That's the word around town Skipper. 167 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,120 Washburn girl told us the same thing. Washburn woman was approached for an office huh? Yes that's 168 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,440 right Beck. She was ready to go when we picked her up. Pushers Howard Scully, you remember him? 169 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,800 About nine years ago wasn't it? The Tijuana deal? Eight or nine years yeah. That big heroin buy, 170 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,360 they tagged every one of the gang but Scully. Yeah he's no amateur. He's got every narcotic 171 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,600 law in the book memorized. He sets the deals, takes the gravy, but he never gets tagged. How 172 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360 about the federal narcotics men Romero? They've been briefed on this deal? I called Harry Stonor 173 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,440 that this morning. They've been following it too. Said he'd be over this afternoon. The setup of 174 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,960 this McMillan guy. What do you think? Clear sailing there Beck as far as I can see. Scully set up to 175 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,840 meet with May Washburn. Ben and Joe grabbed her before she could contact McMillan. Unless Scully's 176 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,480 got a Ouija board, he still must figure everything's Jake. Then we could have a man meet with Scully 177 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,400 tonight and pass himself off as McMillan. Well shouldn't be too much trouble from the way he 178 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,040 talks. Scully's never seen McMillan. Has no idea what he looks like. It's just a guess. Neither one 179 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,600 of you are known to Scully are you? I never met him or his friends. I worked that case last February 180 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,600 when we grabbed Ray Mordick. He used to be a mule for Scully. That's as close as I've been. 181 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,600 I'm afraid that's too close. You know how many hype friends Murdock has in this town? If any of 182 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,200 them spot you and pass the word to Scully, the whole deal is choked off. Joe? You think you could 183 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,480 pass yourself off as McMillan for a couple of days? I'd like to give it a try. Beck what do you think? 184 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Good with me. If we can help with the tailing. Only one possible hitch I can see. Yeah. But not 185 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,480 positive this guy McMillan's a total stranger to Scully. Sure sounded like it didn't it Joe? The way 186 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,000 Scully and the Washburn girl were talking. It's possible Scully might have seen a picture of 187 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,840 McMillan. Maybe he knows something on his background, his habits, how he does business. 188 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,160 Well it's possible yeah. Suppose Scully starts asking the questions Joe. How you gonna cover? 189 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Well we could talk to the Washburn girl again. She might brief us. Now if we need the guy's 190 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,000 life history let's pick it up firsthand. How do you mean? Cat McMillan. 191 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,320 Late that afternoon Stanley McMillan was located at a small restaurant out in the valley and quietly 192 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,640 placed under arrest. He was booked at one of the outlying stations on suspicion of violating the 193 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,120 State Narcotics Act. We questioned him and got all the necessary information on his background that 194 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,920 we needed. He told us that he had never seen or had any dealings before with Howard Scully. 195 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,840 7 30 p.m. I went home changed my clothes put away my gun, ID card and the rest of my identification. 196 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:25,440 An hour later I checked in at a small hotel near 5th and Main Streets. 11 15 p.m. I left the hotel 197 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,040 and started for 7th and Alameda Street so the scheduled meet with Howard Scully was to take 198 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,040 place. As in most cases there was one all-important rule that I had to work by. If the suspects were 199 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,000 to be arrested and successfully prosecuted we had to get them with narcotics in their possession or 200 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,480 under their control. And one of the first things that the working detective learns is that dealers 201 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,000 such as Scully rarely do the actual handling of narcotics except at the actual moment of sale. If 202 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,840 the officer fails to make an arrest at that moment the odds are stacked heavily against the 203 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:59,840 conviction of the narcotics criminal. 11 30 p.m. I got to the corner of 7th and Alameda Streets. I 204 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,880 walked up to a man standing by a lamppost. He was short, heavily built, dark hair, dark eyes and a 205 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,880 small scar on his chin. He had on a gray coat and carried a book under one arm. He was wearing a 206 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:19,760 gray coat and carried a book under one arm. I put out my hand. Yes? My name is McMillan. Oh, 207 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,520 glad to know you Mr. McMillan. My name is Scully. Why? I understand we have mutual friends, is that 208 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,920 correct? That's what I'm told, yeah. You're from Louisiana originally, New Orleans? No. Oh, 209 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,600 that's so. I thought you were from Louisiana. Oh, Missouri, St. Louis. Oh, I see. I suppose we go 210 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,120 for a drive. My hotel is down on 5th. We can talk there. Oh, I think my car would be better. I 211 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,800 can't afford to waste time. I got customers waiting. You can believe me, this won't be a waste of time. 212 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,440 I'm prepared to do business. All right, let's go. All right. 213 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,400 No, go ahead, McMillan. All right, thanks. 214 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:06,880 Oh, will you raise that handle on the other side so I can get in? Yeah, sure. Fine, thank you. 215 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,040 You can't be too careful in L.A., I hear. That's right, there's a lot of heat. Oh, I hope none of 216 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:22,480 it's on you. Don't worry, I'm clean. No tumbles. Would I be here if there were? I got customers to 217 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:30,320 protect good customers. Fine. You know, maybe we can do business. How much can you handle? 218 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,600 How much you got? Oh, about 10,000 worth, standard rate, full measure. Hard to cut it off. 219 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:43,440 Sounds fair. We drove three more blocks and then Scully pulled the car to a stop underneath 220 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,000 a row of spreading palm trees on a deserted street. He pulled the emergency brake on, 221 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,640 then he turned to me, clamped my arms to my sides, and shook me down. 222 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:57,200 Oh, what's the pitch here? What's the idea? No offense, McMillan. Simple precaution in 223 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,440 case you had a gun. What do you take me for, mister? I'm not used to doing business this way. 224 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,680 That might go real great in the East, but it's nothing out here. I said no offense. This is a 225 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,760 hot town. You could be a fuzz. You can't be too careful, you know that. Yeah, well, 226 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,720 you don't have to pull that careful stuff with me. Who set up this meat anyway? 227 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,840 May wash. All right, if you can't trust her, you can't trust me. 228 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,040 Now, maybe I'm not in the mood for business. Come on, take it easy, Mac. 229 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,040 We worked this right and we both got a good deal. Let's get to the point. Where's this stuff? 230 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,040 You bring the money, we'll bring the merchandise. Wait a minute. The car that pulled up behind us, 231 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,840 let's get out of here. You're nervous, Mac. Relax, that's my partner. Come on, I'll introduce you. 232 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,040 All right. 233 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Hi, Jim. Jim, this is McMillan. 234 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,240 My partner, Jim Road. Who are you? Yeah. 235 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Do we do business, Howard? Yeah, he's all right, Jim. He's ready to score. 236 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,240 How much do you want? Whole bundle. We can start with 10 Gs worth. 237 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,240 Can you handle that, McMillan? I'd say so if I couldn't. I don't give it away. 238 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,240 You get the money, you get the stuff. When? 239 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,240 10 Gs worth tonight, rest next week. 240 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,440 Midnight now. What do you expect me to do? Bring the money with me? 241 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,240 Howard will pick you up at 3 a.m. Same quarter. 242 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,640 Sure. It doesn't give me much time, does it? 243 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,640 It's enough time if you're really looking. If you're just shopping, we'll forget about it right now. 244 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,240 A lot of my customers live out of town. That's interesting. 245 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,440 10 grand is no geezer. Suppose I can't get all the money together. 246 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440 Then don't show up, all or nothing. 247 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,440 You are listening to Dragnet. 248 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,440 Authentic stories of your police force in action. 249 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,440 Ah, that's different.

I had two and a half hours to raise $10,000. 267 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,440 The narcotics dealers, Howard Scully and his partner Jim Rhodes, had laid it out for me. 268 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440 Either I had the money by 3 A.M. or there was no deal. 269 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,440 If it failed to come off, our plan to trap the narcotics gang would be worth nothing. 270 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,440 Rhodes and Scully could possibly find another buyer without our knowledge, 271 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,440 make a deal, and flood the market with their store of narcotics. 272 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,440 I knew it would be impossible to get the $10,000 together. 273 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,440 We had only one alternative. Fake our way as best we could. 274 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,440 I went back to the hotel, put a call through to Captain Kearney at the office, 275 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440 and told him what had happened. He went to work on it. 276 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,440 From the Narcotic Details Emergency Fund set up for such purposes, 277 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,440 we got together $600. From Chief of Detectives Thad Brown, Deputy Chief White, 278 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,440 the State Narcotics Bureau, and anyone else available by phone, 279 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,440 we succeeded in rounding up another $350. 280 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:03,440 2.30 A.M. The money was tied in two small bundles with hundreds, fifties, and twenties on top. 281 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,440 One dollar bills were sandwiched in between. 282 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,440 The two bundles were placed in a briefcase and delivered to me at the hotel on Fifth Street. 283 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,440 The gun was also in the briefcase. I took it out, put it in my pocket, closed the briefcase. 284 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,440 2.45 A.M.
