1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440 The story you are about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:13,920 The story of the innocent 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,080 You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a narcotics detail. 4 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,400 A steady supply of high-grade narcotics is finding its way into your city. 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,360 For two months you've been trying to run down the source. 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,600 The first real break finally comes. Your job? Check it out. 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:38,400 The documentary drama of an actual crime. 8 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,800 For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, 9 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,800 you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. 10 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,400 From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, 11 00:00:52,400 --> 00:01:00,000 Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,800 It was Thursday, October 8th. It was hot in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out on narcotics detail. 13 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,400 My partner is Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Kearney. My name is Friday. 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,200 It was 4.05 p.m. when I got to 318 West First Street, the first floor. 15 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,200 Narcotics detail. Joe? Hi Frank. You all threw up in court, huh? 16 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600 Yeah, I went to the jury. I don't think they'll be out long. 17 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,600 Well, I hope they hook him this time. He's overdue. 18 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,200 I don't see how they can miss. You can't tell though. I never know what a jury's gonna do. 19 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200 Yeah. What you got here? 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,000 A felony car brought him in about a half hour ago. Pretty high. 21 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,400 What's he shooting? H. Nothing. He had a big pop. Can't talk to him. 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600 Anything on him? Two cats. Had him taped inside the collar of his shirt. 23 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,400 Crime lab analyzed. It's the same stuff we've been chasing. European. High grade. 24 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,800 He come up with anything? Nothing. He talks a lot, but he doesn't say anything. 25 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,600 Why don't you take him on? Give it a try. 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,000 Mr. Jennings? This is my partner, Sergeant Friday. 27 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Well, how do you do, sir? Sure happy to know you, Sergeant. Have a chair. 28 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200 Yeah, thank you. 29 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Want a cigarette? Yeah, don't mind if I do. 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 I'm gonna give you a light. 31 00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,000 Thank you. 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 By the way, Sergeant, if you have any influence around here at all, I'd sure appreciate it if you tell this young fella here to relax. 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400 He worries too much. Keeps telling me there's something wrong. 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,800 Wasn't there, Mr. Jennings? Well, no, of course not. It's not that I don't enjoy the boys' company, but I've got an appointment. 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,600 Very important one. Eleven o'clock this morning. 36 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,200 Is that so? Yes, very important. I have to be there at eleven sharp. 37 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600 You're a little late, aren't you? It's past four in the afternoon. 38 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200 No, it couldn't be. Clock on the wall right behind you. 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,600 Hmm? Well, what do you know about that? That time sure flies. 40 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,000 Well, now wait for me. 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Well, I better get a move on. Sure glad to have met you, Sergeant. Tried to meet you too, young fella. 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600 Just a minute, Mr. Jennings. It's not that simple. You better sit down. 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,800 Well, then I told you I have an appointment. Very important. 44 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,600 I'll have to wait. Sit down. 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,600 All right. 46 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,400 How about it, Jennings? When'd you have your last think? 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,800 What do you mean, when'd I have a think? 48 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,000 You know what we mean. Your arm looks like a punch board. 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,800 Oh, the scars. Yes, of course. I take vitamin shots. 50 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,600 What's your doctor's name, sir? Dr. Young. Eldon Young. Down on South Hoover. 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,800 You know his phone number, do you? No, I don't. 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,800 It wouldn't do any good to call him anyway. No, why? 53 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Well, he's not there. He's dead. 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,800 You sure of that? Well, ought to be. I went to his funeral. 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,000 When'd he die? 56 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Well, I don't know. Two or three months ago. 57 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Sure was a nice fellow. Fine doctor. 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 That's a sample, Joe. I've been rattling off like that ever since he brought him in. 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,600 Really? Not the usual run. I'm sure that CD's looking busy. 60 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400 Look, Sergeant, I don't think I quite understand this. What's this all about? 61 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,400 Well, Mr. Jennings, you're hooked and you're hooked bad. 62 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,000 When'd you have your last fix? 63 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,800 Well, to be honest with you, I don't quite remember. 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,000 I'd like to make it clear, though. I'm not a bum. I'm not addicted to this stuff. 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800 You're not? Really, it's the truth. I can take it or leave it alone. 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400 I take an occasional shot. That's about the size of it. 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,800 Where do you get the stuff, Jennings? 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,800 I told you, my doctor... No legitimate doctor gave you the stuff they found on you. 69 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,400 They don't dispense heroin. Now, how about it? 70 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600 How about what, Sergeant? You gonna tell us the truth? 71 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Jennings? 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200 Well, frankly, Sergeant, no, I don't think I will. I'm not an informer. 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,200 That's up to you, mister. We're gonna find out sooner or later. 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,200 I'm sorry. You're not going to find out from me. 75 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Now, look, let's not get into an argument, shall we? 76 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600 I don't have anything against you. As a matter of fact, I like you. 77 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,600 I'd like to get along with you. 78 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,600 We're not gonna argue, Jennings. It'd be useless to tell you that we're trying to help you. 79 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,200 Are you married? Do you have a family? 80 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,600 Yes, sir. Lily Lib. 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,200 Sorry, I can't tell you. I'm not dragging them into this. 82 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,200 That's why I don't carry any identification. 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,400 All right, Jennings. You want to get your hat? Let's go. 84 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Go where? 85 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Main jail. We're booking you in. 86 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,300 Why? What for? 87 00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:19,400 Possession of narcotics. 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,000 But I told you, I'm not an addict. You can't keep me in jail. I only use it occasionally. 89 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Yeah, sure. 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400 Is there anything wrong with that? Can't see any harm in that, can you? 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,600 Are you listening? One minute. 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,600 Then I'll talk to you about that in the morning, will you? 93 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:44,600 438 p.m. The Philomé car officers who picked up the suspect, Jennings, took him to the main jail where they booked him for violation of the H&S code, section 11500. 94 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,200 He'd been checked through RNI, but he had no previous criminal record. 95 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Knowing that he was bound to become ill, he was ordered into isolation, and the jailer instructed to notify the doctor in attendance if Jennings needed attention. 96 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:03,800 515 p.m. We went over to the crime lab and checked with J. Allen, who'd analyzed the two capsules found taped to the inside of Jennings' shirt collar. 97 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,800 He told us it was the same grade of high-test heroin which had been found in the possession of other addicts during the past two months. 98 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,800 We knew it was of European origin. We knew it was finding its way into the city. We knew it was being made available to addicts. 99 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:24,800 We picked up half a dozen pushers in the last few weeks with heroin of identical quality in their possession, but the basic source of supply still remained unknown. 100 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,800 We were convinced that none of the pushers knew who or what the ultimate source was. 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:36,800 The following morning, after Frank and I signed in, we went over to the main jail, signed out to suspect Jennings for interrogation, and he was brought to the interview room. 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,800 His face was white and he was trembling. It was only a matter of time before he got worse, when the withdrawal pain set in. 103 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Morning, Jennings. 104 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,800 I gotta get out of here. Nobody told me to be like this when I got started on this stuff. I can't stand any more of this. 105 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,800 Bad? 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,800 I'm gonna die. I wish I could die. Why can't they give me something? 107 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,800 I will talk to the doctor. It's the best we can offer. He'll do what he can for you. 108 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Can you get him now? 109 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800 I'd like to ask you a few questions first. 110 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,800 Then hurry, will you? I'm sick, awful sick. 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,800 Where do you get your stuff, Jennings? What's the man's name? 112 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,800 I don't know. It's the truth. I don't. 113 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,800 How do you get your junk? 114 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,800 A fellow named Eddie. A bartender. I give him the money. He brings the stuff back. 115 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,800 How much you pay for it? 116 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Six dollars a cap. I don't know what he pays. I pay him six dollars. 117 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,800 Do you use it? 118 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,800 He says he doesn't. I don't know. I think he is. How about that, doctor? I can't take this. 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,800 Where do we contact Eddie? 120 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,800 Bar and South Main, there, fourth. One with a big airplane on the sign. 121 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,800 What's his last name, you know? Eddie what? 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800 I don't know. I don't know. 123 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,800 What's he look like? 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,800 Tall, got blonde hair, wears a big signet ring. Eddie, that's all I know. Good guy. He was trying to help me. 125 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,800 Any idea where he gets the junk? 126 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,800 I don't know, except one night I was with him. 127 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,800 Yeah? 128 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,800 He drove out to a little junk in Manchester beer garden. He went in alone. 129 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800 When we got back downtown he had the stuff. I don't know. 130 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800 You know if he got it from a man who worked there or do you think it could have been one of the customers? 131 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,800 I didn't see him. I didn't go in. I don't know. 132 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,800 You know anybody else who's in with this Eddie? 133 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Anybody with a dollar? He do anything for money? 134 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,800 Eddie, ever tell you where this junk's coming from? Who's bringing it in? 135 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800 He's got a little sore. He said what do you care as long as he gets yours? I don't know. 136 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Want a cigarette, Jenny? 137 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,800 No. If I could just rest. If I could just let go. Can't you do anything for me? 138 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,800 Why does he tell you it's going to be like this? 139 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,800 I'd like to have you help us. Now as long as there are men like Eddie running loose, there's going to be men like you that he's going to feed on. 140 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,800 How about it? Is there anything else you can tell us? 141 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800 That's all I know. I got the stuff from Eddie. Talk to him. No more questions. 142 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,800 One more, Jenny. He's about your family. 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,800 I don't want to talk about it. 144 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Your wife called. She found out you were in jail. 145 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,800 No. 146 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,800 She's coming down to see you. 147 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800 She can't. I don't want to see her. Tell her not to come. 148 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,800 We can't stop her. 149 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,800 Caused her enough trouble. Twenty years of it. First the booze, now this. 150 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,800 How long have you been on it, Jenny? 151 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,800 A year, year and a half. Been downhill all the way. Three kids. 152 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,800 I don't know what's going to happen. We're going to lose our house. We lost my business already. All our friends. 153 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,800 You don't know what it's like. 154 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,800 We got an idea. 155 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800 No, you haven't. You've got no conception. It's been hell. 156 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Nobody's going through what I have. Lost what I have. Suffering. A year and a half of it. Really suffered. 157 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Nobody knew either. Nobody suffered the way I did.
