09:44.440 --> 09:48.440 No, I got to the police station, but I didn't go in. 09:48.440 --> 09:49.440 I didn't tell them. 09:49.440 --> 09:50.440 Why not? 09:50.440 --> 09:52.440 Like I said, I didn't have any way to prove who I was. 09:52.440 --> 09:54.440 I had no money. My wallet was gone. 09:54.440 --> 09:57.440 My clothes were all torn. My face was all cut. 09:57.440 --> 10:00.440 I thought it'd be better if I could get to Kevin's mother. 10:00.440 --> 10:03.440 I could see her and talk to her. She'd know what to do. 10:03.440 --> 10:06.440 I hitched a ride. I wanted to go to San Francisco. 10:06.440 --> 10:09.440 Truck driver brought me this far. 10:09.440 --> 10:13.440 While we were driving, I thought more and more about what I'd say to Kevin's mother. 10:13.440 --> 10:15.440 How I'd tell her he was dead. 10:15.440 --> 10:17.440 And I know I couldn't do it. 10:17.440 --> 10:21.440 But I had to tell somebody. That's why I came to see you. 10:21.440 --> 10:24.440 Now, Bruce, we're gonna have to go back down to Mexico. 10:24.440 --> 10:27.440 You'll be able to show us where the body is, won't you? 10:27.440 --> 10:29.440 I have to go. I guess I can. 10:29.440 --> 10:31.440 But I can tell you exactly where it was. 10:31.440 --> 10:34.440 I can give you a map, tell you right where he's buried. 10:34.440 --> 10:36.440 Do you want to give us that information now? 10:36.440 --> 10:42.440 Yeah. It was south of Ensenada, 40 miles down the new paved highway. 10:42.440 --> 10:45.440 South of Ensenada, 40 miles. You sure it was 40 miles? 10:45.440 --> 10:51.440 Yeah. While we were driving, Kevin and I kept trying to figure out how many kilometers to a mile. 10:51.440 --> 10:53.440 I kept watching the speedometer. 10:53.440 --> 10:56.440 It was just 40 miles when we turned off the paved highway onto a little dirt road. 10:56.440 --> 10:57.440 40 miles? 10:57.440 --> 11:02.440 Yeah. There's a clump of trees near there on the gully. You can't miss it. 11:02.440 --> 11:05.440 Can you give us the description of the car, the license number? 11:05.440 --> 11:10.440 Well, I don't remember the license number, but the car was a 51 Ford Sedan, dark blue. 11:10.440 --> 11:14.440 I belonged to Kevin. I never paid any attention to the license. 11:14.440 --> 11:16.440 That's K-E-V-I-N, Kevin, huh? 11:16.440 --> 11:17.440 Yeah. 11:17.440 --> 11:21.440 Now we can check that through DMV. What was Kevin's full name and address? 11:21.440 --> 11:27.440 Kevin Allen Bradley. He lived at 6502 Washington Street, San Francisco. 11:27.440 --> 11:30.440 He lived with his mother, an apartment on Nod Hill. 11:30.440 --> 11:32.440 Would you give us a description of Kevin? 11:32.440 --> 11:37.440 Well, he's about my size generally. 5'10", 140 pounds, blue eyes. 11:37.440 --> 11:41.440 His hair's light, kind of blonde like mine, 22 years old. 11:41.440 --> 11:45.440 We looked a lot alike. Kids at school used to think we were brothers sometimes. 11:45.440 --> 11:46.440 I see. 11:46.440 --> 11:49.440 Joe, we better get a communication to the Mexican authorities, fill them in on the whole thing. 11:49.440 --> 11:53.440 Tell them we're coming down. Contact San Francisco and let them handle that end of the thing. 11:53.440 --> 11:57.440 Get a teletype off the DMV in Sacramento, get a license number on the car. 11:57.440 --> 12:01.440 We better contact the San Diego PD and get a hold of Al Gaetan, fill him in on the thing. 12:01.440 --> 12:04.440 Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll stay here with Bruce. You want to compare that? 12:04.440 --> 12:07.440 I don't know. 12:10.440 --> 12:13.440 Now look, young fella, would you know these bandits again if you saw them? 12:13.440 --> 12:20.440 Why, I might not know some of them, but the big guy and the one that shot Kevin, I'll never forget them. 12:20.440 --> 12:26.440 The big guy was tall, heavy, over 6 feet, well over 200 pounds. I'll never forget him. 12:26.440 --> 12:32.440 That laugh when he killed Kevin. When he laughed, you could see he had two gold teeth right here in front. 12:32.440 --> 12:35.440 These here. Two gold teeth, huh? Yeah. 12:35.440 --> 12:38.440 Now how about the other man, Bruce? Did you get a good look at him? 12:38.440 --> 12:43.440 He was a small man, dark like the leader. He wasn't wearing a hat, real thin face. 12:43.440 --> 12:46.440 His clothes were all dirty and his pants were torn around the bottoms. 12:46.440 --> 12:52.440 He was wearing those leather sandals, the open kind. His feet were filthy like he hadn't had a bath in a year. 12:52.440 --> 12:55.440 You think you'd be able to identify any of the others? 12:55.440 --> 12:59.440 I don't know, maybe if I saw him. I was scared and I don't mind admitting. 12:59.440 --> 13:04.440 Joe? Yeah, Frank. I stopped by R&I before I went on with the other communications. 13:04.440 --> 13:06.440 Checked the name Kevin Allen Bradley through. Yeah. 13:06.440 --> 13:11.440 There's a teletype from San Francisco dated July 13th. It's a missing person report on Kevin. You want to read it? 13:11.440 --> 13:13.440 What's it say? Regular missing report? 13:13.440 --> 13:20.440 It describes male, white, American, 22 years, 5'10", 140 pounds, blonde, blue eyes, fair complexion. 13:20.440 --> 13:23.440 Time of disappearance was wearing a dark blue gabardine suit. 13:23.440 --> 13:28.440 Driving a dark blue 1951 Ford, license number 1, Robert 2951. 13:28.440 --> 13:29.440 Something else, Joe? 13:29.440 --> 13:33.440 There's no way he's carrying a sum of money in excess of $1,500 when he disappeared. 13:33.440 --> 13:35.440 $1,500? That's a lot of money in there. 13:35.440 --> 13:38.440 Not to Kevin. He was used to carrying that kind of money. 13:38.440 --> 13:41.440 You see, his folks were pretty rich. He always had all the money he wanted. 13:41.440 --> 13:45.440 I see. Well, how about this missing report here, Bruce? 13:45.440 --> 13:46.440 What do you mean? 13:46.440 --> 13:49.440 Well, didn't Kevin's mother know that he was going to Mexico? 13:49.440 --> 13:55.440 Well, no. You see, they had an argument about where he was going to spend his summer vacation. 13:55.440 --> 13:58.440 She wanted him to go to Canada, and he wanted to come down here. 13:58.440 --> 14:00.440 One afternoon he just took off. 14:00.440 --> 14:04.440 Kevin went to the bank and got the money and just took off. 14:04.440 --> 14:06.440 He didn't tell his mother anything about it? 14:06.440 --> 14:08.440 No, he thought that she'd try to stop him. 14:08.440 --> 14:10.440 Probably would have too if she'd known. 14:10.440 --> 14:13.440 Oh, was the money among the things that were stolen from you? 14:13.440 --> 14:16.440 Well, yeah. It was in Kevin's wallet in the duffel bag. 14:16.440 --> 14:21.440 I suppose it was kind of foolish to leave that much money just laying around, but we did. 14:21.440 --> 14:24.440 We didn't think that anything had happened like this. 14:24.440 --> 14:27.440 I stopped and think back over it. 14:27.440 --> 14:30.440 Kevin being dead, I don't know, I just get sick. 14:30.440 --> 14:33.440 Now, you say you didn't have any money. How did you get along? 14:33.440 --> 14:35.440 I didn't think much about food. 14:35.440 --> 14:38.440 The important thing was to tell somebody about Kevin's being killed. 14:38.440 --> 14:41.440 That's all I thought about, telling somebody. 14:41.440 --> 14:44.440 Yeah, sure. Well, you must be pretty hungry then. You'd like something to eat now, would you? 14:44.440 --> 14:48.440 Yeah, it might taste pretty good. Sandwich and some coffee. 14:48.440 --> 14:50.440 How about you guys? You going to eat? 14:50.440 --> 14:51.440 Frank, how about you? 14:51.440 --> 14:55.440 Yeah, I'll try to get communications off around across the street and pick up some sandwiches and coffee and bring them back here. 14:55.440 --> 14:56.440 All right, fine. 14:56.440 --> 14:57.440 What kind of sandwich do you like, Bruce? 14:57.440 --> 14:59.440 Anything. Doesn't make any difference. 14:59.440 --> 15:00.440 Joe? 14:59.440 --> 15:01.440 Ham's all right. White bread, a lot of mustard. 15:01.440 --> 15:02.440 Okay, I'll be right back. 15:02.440 --> 15:03.440 All right. 15:03.440 --> 15:07.440 Oh, say, Joe, I'm running kind of low on my allowance. I only got a buck and a half. You got a little change? 15:07.440 --> 15:08.440 Yeah, sure. 15:08.440 --> 15:10.440 Here, let me get this. 15:10.440 --> 15:11.440 What's that? 15:11.440 --> 15:12.440 Huh? 15:12.440 --> 15:14.440 Did you say you had some money? 15:14.440 --> 15:17.440 Well, I have got $10. $10 bill. 15:17.440 --> 15:21.440 Well, maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you said the bandits took all your money. Did I get it wrong? 15:21.440 --> 15:27.440 Well, what I meant is I didn't think I had any money. I found this $10 in my pocket just before I walked in here. 15:27.440 --> 15:28.440 Oh, I see, yeah. 15:28.440 --> 15:34.440 Look, you can see it's all wadded up. It must have been in my pocket for a long time. Just a $10 all wadded up. 15:34.440 --> 15:37.440 Yeah, it's all crumpled up there. You can hardly tell what it is, can you? 15:37.440 --> 15:40.440 Yeah, that's right. But you can see it's a $10. 15:40.440 --> 15:44.440 Sure, it's all wrinkled up. You can see how I missed it. 15:44.440 --> 15:48.440 Yeah. I'll tell you, why don't you put everything in your pockets right here on the table, huh? 15:48.440 --> 15:50.440 Why? What'll that show? 15:50.440 --> 15:52.440 All right, come on, boy. 15:52.440 --> 15:54.440 I haven't got anything in my pockets. 15:54.440 --> 15:57.440 Well, you found the $10. Maybe you'll find something else. 15:57.440 --> 16:05.440 All right, but I don't know what it's going to show. Pocket knife, handkerchief, comb. 16:05.440 --> 16:08.440 You got the $10 on the table there. That's all. 16:08.440 --> 16:10.440 Maybe there's something in your coat pocket. 16:10.440 --> 16:13.440 No, I don't carry anything in my coat pockets. It stretches them. 16:13.440 --> 16:15.440 Well, you take a look anyway, huh? 16:15.440 --> 16:18.440 I told you I don't use them. See? Nothing. 16:18.440 --> 16:20.440 How about the inside pocket? 16:20.440 --> 16:22.440 No, there's nothing there. 16:22.440 --> 16:23.440 Let's have a look, huh? 16:23.440 --> 16:25.440 I told you there's nothing there. 16:25.440 --> 16:27.440 Then you won't mind if we have a look. 16:30.440 --> 16:32.440 What's that you got there, Bruce? 16:32.440 --> 16:35.440 That's my wallet. Guess they didn't take it after all. 16:35.440 --> 16:37.440 Gee, thanks for finding it. 16:37.440 --> 16:41.440 No, I probably wouldn't have thought to look for it. I just figured that it was gone. 16:41.440 --> 16:43.440 Here, let me have it. 16:43.440 --> 16:44.440 Let's see what's in it, huh? 16:44.440 --> 16:47.440 Just some cards, personal stuff like that. Nothing you'd be interested in. 16:47.440 --> 16:51.440 I forgot all about it. I feel pretty silly. I didn't even know it was there. 16:51.440 --> 16:52.440 Take a look, Joe. 16:55.440 --> 16:57.440 You say this is your wallet, is that right, Bruce? 16:57.440 --> 17:00.440 Yeah, it's mine. I told you it's mine. How about let me have it, huh? 17:00.440 --> 17:02.440 There's quite a bit of money in here, Bruce. 17:02.440 --> 17:03.440 Huh? 17:03.440 --> 17:06.440 I don't know. Just a glance here. Looks to be about $1,000, doesn't it? 17:06.440 --> 17:08.440 Just a minute. I think I can explain that. 17:08.440 --> 17:10.440 There's another thing here I don't think you can explain. 17:10.440 --> 17:13.440 What's that name in the wallet? Kevin Bradley. 17:24.440 --> 17:28.440 You are listening to Dragnet, authentic stories of your police force in action. 17:28.440 --> 17:32.440 Friends, the name Fatima has always stood for quality. 17:32.440 --> 17:37.440 Fatimas are distinctive, with a truly different flavor and aroma. 17:37.440 --> 17:42.440 And in king-size Fatima, you get an extra mild and soothing smoke, 17:42.440 --> 17:45.440 plus the added protection of Fatima quality. 17:45.440 --> 17:49.440 Yes, there's a good reason why Fatima continues to grow in favor 17:49.440 --> 17:52.440 among king-size cigarette smokers everywhere. 17:52.440 --> 17:54.440 In Fatima, the difference is quality. 17:54.440 --> 17:58.440 Quality of tobaccos, the finest Turkish and domestic varieties, 17:58.440 --> 18:05.440 extra mild and superbly blended to give you a much different, much better flavor and aroma. 18:05.440 --> 18:09.440 Quality of manufacture, smooth, round, perfect cigarettes, 18:09.440 --> 18:12.440 rolled in the finest paper money can buy. 18:12.440 --> 18:15.440 Quality even to the appearance of the bright, sunny yellow pack, 18:15.440 --> 18:21.440 carefully wrapped and sealed to bring you Fatima's rich, fresh, extra mild flavor. 18:21.440 --> 18:25.440 So next time, insist on Fatima quality. 18:25.440 --> 18:27.440 Look for the bright, sunny yellow pack. 18:27.440 --> 18:32.440 Smoke Fatima, the extra mild and soothing king-size cigarette, 18:32.440 --> 18:35.440 with the added protection of Fatima quality. 18:35.440 --> 18:42.440 Music 18:42.440 --> 18:46.440 With the finding of Kevin Bradley's wallet, the case had taken a new turn. 18:46.440 --> 18:48.440 We continued to question Bruce Hamilton, 18:48.440 --> 18:51.440 but he insisted that he thought the wallet and the money had been taken 18:51.440 --> 18:53.440 by the bandits when they killed the Bradley boy. 18:53.440 --> 18:57.440 While I talked to him, Frank went down the hall and contacted the Mexican authorities 18:57.440 --> 18:59.440 and gave them the information. 18:59.440 --> 19:02.440 He gave them the description of Kevin Bradley and of Bruce Hamilton. 19:02.440 --> 19:04.440 They told him that to the best of their knowledge, 19:04.440 --> 19:06.440 there were no bandits operating in the vicinity, 19:06.440 --> 19:09.440 but they would dispatch a search party to go over the area. 19:09.440 --> 19:13.440 They said they would keep us advised of any developments that might arise. 19:13.440 --> 19:18.440 Frank also contacted the San Francisco Police Department and gave them the information. 19:18.440 --> 19:22.440 They said they'd take care of that end of the investigation, 1147 A.M. 19:22.440 --> 19:27.440 Frank came back to the interrogation room and we continued to question the Hamilton boy. 19:27.440 --> 19:30.440 I told you all I know. I don't know how the money got there. 19:30.440 --> 19:34.440 I was as surprised as you were. I don't understand it. You've got to believe me. 19:34.440 --> 19:36.440 Yeah, well, you're making it pretty tough to believe, Bruce. 19:36.440 --> 19:39.440 It's kind of hard to buy the fact that over a thousand dollars in Kevin's wallet 19:39.440 --> 19:41.440 turns up in your pocket and you don't know how it got there. 19:41.440 --> 19:45.440 But it's the truth. I don't know how I can convince you that it's the truth. 19:45.440 --> 19:47.440 Well, there are a couple of other things that aren't clear here. 19:47.440 --> 19:51.440 What? Tell me. I'm not lying. I've got nothing to hide. What's not right? Tell me. 19:51.440 --> 19:53.440 Well, it's business of not telling the authorities. 19:53.440 --> 19:55.440 I told you I was scared that they might not believe me. 19:55.440 --> 19:56.440 You can understand that, can't you? 19:56.440 --> 19:57.440 Well, maybe up to a point. 19:57.440 --> 20:01.440 I thought that if I could get to Kevin's mother, then she could take care of it. 20:01.440 --> 20:02.440 I didn't know what else to do. 20:02.440 --> 20:06.440 Then when I got to L.A., I had a chance to think about it and I couldn't go through with it. 20:06.440 --> 20:08.440 I couldn't tell his mother. I couldn't face her. 20:08.440 --> 20:10.440 Bruce, when you described where we could find the body, 20:10.440 --> 20:12.440 you said it was about 40 miles down the paved highway, that right? 20:12.440 --> 20:13.440 That's what I said. 20:13.440 --> 20:15.440 Well, how long has it been since you've been to Mexico? 20:15.440 --> 20:17.440 Well, I told you I just came back from there. 20:17.440 --> 20:19.440 Don't you believe anything I've told you? 20:19.440 --> 20:21.440 Well, Joe and I just finished an investigation down in Mexico. 20:21.440 --> 20:24.440 Investigation took us about 70 miles south of Ensenada. 20:24.440 --> 20:26.440 We found a highway paved for only about five miles south. 20:26.440 --> 20:28.440 You say 40 miles. How do you explain the difference? 20:28.440 --> 20:30.440 Well, maybe I was wrong about the distance. 20:30.440 --> 20:32.440 Well, you're pretty sure when you first told us about it. 20:32.440 --> 20:33.440 Well, maybe I made a mistake. 20:33.440 --> 20:35.440 There's something else, Bruce. It's a little hazy here. 20:35.440 --> 20:36.440 I told you I want to help anything. 20:36.440 --> 20:38.440 How far south of Ensenada did you say you were? 20:38.440 --> 20:41.440 I said about 40 miles. Now I'm not sure. 20:41.440 --> 20:43.440 But you are sure that it was south of Ensenada. 20:43.440 --> 20:44.440 Yeah. 20:44.440 --> 20:45.440 And Kevin was killed on a Saturday night. 20:45.440 --> 20:46.440 That's right. 20:46.440 --> 20:47.440 And you started for the States right away. 20:47.440 --> 20:50.440 That's what I said. I started walking as soon as I found the car was gone. 20:50.440 --> 20:51.440 And you walked all the way to the border. 20:51.440 --> 20:52.440 That's right. 20:52.440 --> 20:54.440 How'd you walk? What route did you take? 20:54.440 --> 20:55.440 I told you I stayed off the road. 20:55.440 --> 20:57.440 I was afraid of the bandits coming back. 20:57.440 --> 21:00.440 I walked along the roadside and then through the hills. 21:00.440 --> 21:02.440 I got off the roadside whenever I saw anybody coming. 21:02.440 --> 21:04.440 But you did walk all the way. 21:04.440 --> 21:06.440 Yeah, that's right. All the way from Ensenada to the border. 21:06.440 --> 21:07.440 And it took you how long? 21:07.440 --> 21:09.440 Well, Saturday night and Sunday night. 21:09.440 --> 21:11.440 I got a ride in San Diego in the morning. 21:11.440 --> 21:13.440 What time do you figure that you started for the border? 21:13.440 --> 21:15.440 Maybe 11.30, midnight. I don't know for sure. 21:15.440 --> 21:16.440 And you stopped at dawn? 21:16.440 --> 21:18.440 Well, yeah. I stopped and slept. 21:18.440 --> 21:19.440 Then I woke up and I started a walk. 21:19.440 --> 21:23.440 And you're asking us to believe that you walked over 100 miles in less than 14 hours. Is that right? 21:23.440 --> 21:24.440 Yeah. 21:24.440 --> 21:25.440 And through country like that? 21:25.440 --> 21:26.440 What do you think? That I'm making the whole thing up? 21:26.440 --> 21:30.440 Look at my face, my back. Here, look. Does this look like my imagination? 21:30.440 --> 21:33.440 You could have gotten these in a fight with Kevin. Maybe he didn't want you to take the money. 21:33.440 --> 21:38.440 You keep talking about the money. I tried to tell you I don't know how the money got in my pocket. 21:38.440 --> 21:42.440 I don't know anything about it. You think I killed Kevin, is that right? 21:42.440 --> 21:43.440 Yeah, it looks that way, doesn't it? 21:43.440 --> 21:47.440 He was my best friend. I had no reason to kill him. He was my friend. 21:47.440 --> 21:51.440 Now look, son, we better get this thing straight for you. You've opened up a can of beans here. 21:51.440 --> 21:56.440 You waltz in here and give us a cock and bull story about this killing. Parts of your story we can't buy. 21:56.440 --> 21:59.440 Why are you trying to sell it to us? You lied about the road. You lied about the money. 21:59.440 --> 22:01.440 The story about how you walked doesn't ring true. 22:01.440 --> 22:05.440 You want to know what I really think, Bruce? I think the whole thing's a lie from start to finish. A lie. 22:05.440 --> 22:08.440 Now let's come off it. Who killed Kevin Bradley? 22:08.440 --> 22:10.440 I don't know. I don't know. 22:10.440 --> 22:12.440 Now get this straight, Bruce. Did you kill him? 22:12.440 --> 22:13.440 Huh? 22:13.440 --> 22:15.440 Did you kill Kevin Bradley? Is that the reason for this story? 22:15.440 --> 22:16.440 No, no, I didn't. 22:16.440 --> 22:18.440 Well, somebody did. Can you tell us who? 22:18.440 --> 22:19.440 You're getting me all mixed up. 22:19.440 --> 22:22.440 You're the one that's getting it mixed up, Bruce. We just want to know who killed Kevin Bradley. 22:22.440 --> 22:23.440 We think maybe it was you. 22:23.440 --> 22:24.440 Looks like it might have been. 22:24.440 --> 22:26.440 No, no, it couldn't be. Leave me alone. I didn't do it. 22:26.440 --> 22:29.440 Why couldn't you have done it? Looks like you did. 22:29.440 --> 22:31.440 Because Kevin Bradley isn't dead. 22:31.440 --> 22:32.440 What's that? 22:32.440 --> 22:36.440 He was never killed. I'm Kevin Bradley. 22:40.440 --> 22:43.440 The boy broke down completely and admitted that the whole thing was a hoax. 22:43.440 --> 22:50.440 He said he hadn't been in Mexico at all, but he spent the past week in a downtown hotel working out the story that he planned to tell us. 22:50.440 --> 22:53.440 He admitted that the wounds were self-inflicted. 22:53.440 --> 22:58.440 He explained that he had scratched his own face and hit himself with a rock to produce the cuts and bruises. 22:58.440 --> 23:04.440 He went on to say that he had picked Mexico as the scene of the false killing because he thought the story would be more difficult to trace. 23:04.440 --> 23:11.440 Like many citizens, he was unaware of the close cooperation between American law enforcement agencies and the Mexican authorities. 23:11.440 --> 23:17.440 We asked him about the existence of a Bruce Hamilton, and he told us there was such a boy in his class at school. 23:17.440 --> 23:21.440 12.50 p.m. The communication had come through from San Francisco, 23:21.440 --> 23:26.440 and the teletype said that Mrs. Bradley was en route to Los Angeles to aid in the investigation. 23:26.440 --> 23:31.440 When we told Kevin about this, he lapsed into silence and for another hour refused to say anything. 23:31.440 --> 23:32.440 2.05 p.m. 23:32.440 --> 23:35.440 All right, now look, boy, you've been sitting there for an hour and you haven't said a word. 23:35.440 --> 23:38.440 If there's something you want to say, well, listen. 23:38.440 --> 23:43.440 There's nothing to say. I tried. I tried to get away from her. 23:43.440 --> 23:47.440 All my life she's told me what to do. I tried to tell her, but I couldn't. 23:47.440 --> 23:50.440 Nobody could understand. You don't. You can't. 23:50.440 --> 23:54.440 Every time I tried to get away, she'd say something or do something, so I couldn't leave. 23:54.440 --> 23:57.440 I was trapped and I didn't know what to do. 23:57.440 --> 24:00.440 And I thought I did know, and even that didn't work. 24:00.440 --> 24:05.440 I thought that if you told her I was dead, she'd forget me, leave me alone. 24:05.440 --> 24:08.440 I can't even die right. 24:08.440 --> 24:13.440 Kevin, you're here. I knew what they told me was wrong. I knew you were all right. 24:13.440 --> 24:14.440 Hello, Mother. 24:14.440 --> 24:18.440 What happened to you, Kevin, darling? Your face, your clothes. 24:18.440 --> 24:21.440 Oh, my poor baby, how did this happen? Are you all right? 24:21.440 --> 24:24.440 Your poor face, all cut. What's happened, Kevin? 24:24.440 --> 24:25.440 It's all right, Mother. 24:25.440 --> 24:29.440 No, it's not all right. I don't know what happened, who did this awful thing, but I'll take care of it. 24:29.440 --> 24:30.440 Officer. 24:30.440 --> 24:31.440 Yes, ma'am. 24:31.440 --> 24:32.440 What do you know about this? 24:32.440 --> 24:33.440 My big part. 24:33.440 --> 24:37.440 What do you know about this? Did you do it? Did you hit this poor boy? 24:37.440 --> 24:42.440 Look at this poor face. Just look at it. It's terrible. That's what it is. It's terrible. 24:42.440 --> 24:46.440 I mean to find out just what happened here. I'll get to the bottom of this. 24:46.440 --> 24:50.440 No, don't you worry, Kevin, baby. Mother, she'll take care of you. 24:50.440 --> 24:51.440 Mother, please. 24:51.440 --> 24:53.440 It's all right, honey. Everything will be all right. 24:53.440 --> 24:55.440 Mother, these officers had nothing to do with it. 24:55.440 --> 24:59.440 Of course not. If you say so, Kevin, baby. Have you called the doctor about this? 24:59.440 --> 25:05.440 Have you gotten in touch with someone to take care of his face? Never mind. I'll take him to a doctor. 25:05.440 --> 25:08.440 I'll look after him. Poor baby. Mother will look after him. 25:08.440 --> 25:09.440 Mother, please don't. 25:09.440 --> 25:14.440 No, Kevin, you know that Mother knows what's best. Mother will take care of him. 25:14.440 --> 25:17.440 Stop it. Stop it. Shut up. 25:17.440 --> 25:18.440 Kevin. 25:18.440 --> 25:22.440 I'm sick of it, tired of it. For 20 years, as long as I can remember, you've taken care of things. 25:22.440 --> 25:25.440 Did you ever think I might want to take care of a few things myself? 25:25.440 --> 25:28.440 Have you ever thought that I wasn't a kid anymore? I'm an adult. 25:28.440 --> 25:32.440 Like it says on the missing report, male, white, American, 22 years, an adult. 25:32.440 --> 25:33.440 All right. Take it easy, son. 25:33.440 --> 25:36.440 No, I've tried to say this before and I've never had the nerve. 25:36.440 --> 25:38.440 I've got it now and I'm going to finish. 25:38.440 --> 25:41.440 I'm tired of having you make all the arrangements for me. 25:41.440 --> 25:45.440 I'm going to have dates with girls that I want to go out with, not the ones you pick for me. 25:45.440 --> 25:50.440 I'm going to get a job and make my own way. I'm going to buy a car and if I smash it up and me along with it, it's my business. 25:50.440 --> 25:52.440 I'll never forgive you for what you've done. 25:52.440 --> 25:56.440 You spent 20 years making me an outsider, always on the fringe. 25:56.440 --> 26:02.440 I couldn't do the things I wanted to, only the things you wanted me to do, only the things you thought best. 26:02.440 --> 26:07.440 I'm sick of having you make the decisions for me. From here on in, I'm going to make them myself. 26:07.440 --> 26:11.440 I tried to kill Kevin Bradley for no reason. You killed him a long time ago. 26:11.440 --> 26:15.440 Take a good look at me, Mother. Take a good look and see what you've done. 26:15.440 --> 26:19.440 I hate the sight of you. I hate everything about you and I'll leave me alone and go away. 26:19.440 --> 26:21.440 All right. Take it easy, boy. 26:21.440 --> 26:24.440 It's all right, Officer. I understand. 26:24.440 --> 26:29.440 Sometimes he gets like this. He doesn't mean it. I know him. 26:29.440 --> 26:32.440 All right, Kevin. I'm sure the officers are impressed. 26:32.440 --> 26:35.440 Dry your eyes and we'll go home. 26:35.440 --> 26:39.440 Do you hear me, Kevin? Stop this foolishness I said. We're going home. 26:39.440 --> 26:41.440 Yes, Mother, I hear you. 26:41.440 --> 26:47.440 I'm sorry, Officer. Embarrassing. I don't know why he does these things. He's always been pretty emotional. 26:47.440 --> 26:48.440 Yes, Mother. 26:48.440 --> 26:52.440 There's nothing else. We'd better be going. I want to catch the early plane back to the city. 26:52.440 --> 26:58.440 There's a party planned for tomorrow night. A million things to do. You'll have to help, Kevin. 26:58.440 --> 27:00.440 Kevin, do you hear me? 27:00.440 --> 27:02.440 Yes, Mother, I hear you. 27:02.440 --> 27:05.440 Well, then say goodbye to the officers and let's go. 27:05.440 --> 27:10.440 Goodbye, Mr. Friday. Mr. Smith. I'm sorry this all happened. 27:10.440 --> 27:12.440 Yes, so are we, son. 27:12.440 --> 27:17.440 I tried, Sergeant. It just didn't work, but I did try. 27:17.440 --> 27:21.440 Kevin, let's go. I don't want to miss that plane. 27:21.440 --> 27:23.440 Yes, Mother. 27:25.440 --> 27:26.440 Oh, Sergeant. 27:26.440 --> 27:27.440 Yes, ma'am. 27:27.440 --> 27:30.440 Thank you for giving my boy back to me. 27:40.440 --> 27:45.440 The story you have just heard was true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. 27:45.440 --> 27:48.440 On August 9th, the matter was taken before the city attorney for a decision. 27:48.440 --> 27:51.440 In a moment, the results of that decision. 27:51.440 --> 27:53.440 Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. 27:53.440 --> 27:54.440 Thank you, George Fennahman. 27:54.440 --> 27:57.440 Friends, if you're planning a trip this coming holiday weekend, 27:57.440 --> 27:59.440 I'd like to suggest that you take Fatimas along with you. 27:59.440 --> 28:02.440 Get a carton or two, and that way you'll have enough to last the trip. 28:02.440 --> 28:05.440 In Fatima, the difference is quality. 28:05.440 --> 28:08.440 Quality that gives you extra mildness and a really different flavor and aroma. 28:08.440 --> 28:13.440 You get an extra mild and soothing smoke, plus the added protection of Fatima quality. 28:13.440 --> 28:17.440 That's king-size Fatima in the bright, sunny yellow pack and carton. 28:17.440 --> 28:30.440 In the interest of justice, there was no complaint filed against Kevin Allen Bradley. 28:30.440 --> 28:43.440 You have just heard Dragnet, a series of authentic cases from official files. 28:43.440 --> 28:48.440 Technical advice comes from the Office of Chief of Police, W.H.
