09:26.280 --> 09:27.280 Oh, yes. 09:27.280 --> 09:30.280 Well, then the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be in on it too. 09:30.280 --> 09:31.280 Yes, sir. 09:31.280 --> 09:32.280 Water's right over here. 09:32.280 --> 09:33.280 I keep it in the office for my pills. 09:33.280 --> 09:34.280 I have ulcers, you know. 09:34.280 --> 09:35.280 Yes, sir. 09:35.280 --> 09:36.280 Would you like a drink? 09:36.280 --> 09:37.280 No, sir. 09:37.280 --> 09:38.280 No, thank you. 09:38.280 --> 09:39.280 No. 09:39.280 --> 09:40.280 Thank you. 09:40.280 --> 09:46.480 Well, what happened after the man finished taking the money from the cages? 09:46.480 --> 09:48.920 He walked out of the front of the place and got in his car. 09:48.920 --> 09:51.800 By that time, I could hear the sirens of the police car coming. 09:51.800 --> 09:52.800 He'd just left. 09:52.800 --> 09:57.320 On the way out, he said if we told him anything about him, he'd come back and kill us. 09:57.320 --> 09:59.320 Yes, and he looked right at me when he said it. 09:59.320 --> 10:01.000 You've got to give me some sort of protection. 10:01.000 --> 10:02.600 I'm not going to make a sitting duck of myself. 10:02.600 --> 10:04.000 We'll take care of that, sir. 10:04.000 --> 10:05.720 Could you give us a description of the man, sir? 10:05.720 --> 10:07.760 I've already given it to the two officers who are here. 10:07.760 --> 10:09.560 Well, we know, sir, but if you wouldn't mind. 10:09.560 --> 10:10.560 Of course not. 10:10.560 --> 10:12.040 How tall would you say he was? 10:12.040 --> 10:14.440 Oh, about 5'11", maybe 6''. 10:14.440 --> 10:16.240 How old would you say he was? 10:16.240 --> 10:18.720 30, 35, round in there. 10:18.720 --> 10:19.720 How much do you think he weighed? 10:19.720 --> 10:22.240 Oh, about 160, maybe more. 10:22.240 --> 10:23.560 I'm not very good at guessing weights. 10:23.560 --> 10:24.560 How about his coloring? 10:24.560 --> 10:25.920 Was he dark or light? 10:25.920 --> 10:26.920 Light, light. 10:26.920 --> 10:28.400 He had real light blonde hair. 10:28.400 --> 10:30.240 His eyebrows were almost invisible. 10:30.240 --> 10:33.280 They were so light that you almost couldn't see them at all. 10:33.280 --> 10:34.280 Same with his eyelashes. 10:34.280 --> 10:35.280 How about his clothes? 10:35.280 --> 10:36.280 Beg your pardon? 10:36.280 --> 10:37.280 His clothes? 10:37.280 --> 10:38.280 What was he wearing? 10:38.280 --> 10:39.280 Well, he had on a blue shirt. 10:39.280 --> 10:40.280 No, I'm sorry, sir. 10:40.280 --> 10:41.280 I think it was a white shirt. 10:41.280 --> 10:42.280 Was it? 10:42.280 --> 10:43.280 No, I'm sure it was blue. 10:43.280 --> 10:45.680 I remember, because he was wearing a brown coat. 10:45.680 --> 10:48.320 I thought that he certainly didn't have very good taste, what was wearing a blue shirt 10:48.320 --> 10:49.320 and a brown coat. 10:49.320 --> 10:50.320 No, Gibson, no. 10:50.320 --> 10:51.320 The shirt was blue. 10:51.320 --> 10:54.800 No tie, brown coat, and black loafers shoes. 10:54.800 --> 10:57.400 I remember these because they were the only thing about them that looked good. 10:57.400 --> 11:01.280 They looked like those ones that are advertised in the magazines, you know, skegums or something 11:01.280 --> 11:02.280 like that. 11:02.280 --> 11:03.280 Black. 11:03.280 --> 11:04.280 Was there anything unusual about him? 11:04.280 --> 11:05.280 I beg your pardon? 11:05.280 --> 11:06.280 Anything unusual about him? 11:06.280 --> 11:08.680 Anything that might cause you to remember him, know him if you saw him again? 11:08.680 --> 11:09.680 Well, they were the bandages. 11:09.680 --> 11:10.680 What's that, sir? 11:10.680 --> 11:14.960 When he came in, he had bandages on his face, one over his right eyebrow, another on his 11:14.960 --> 11:17.360 chin, right here, sort of on the throat. 11:17.360 --> 11:18.360 You mean regular bandages? 11:18.360 --> 11:22.120 No, sir, they were those adhesive kind, you know, with the gauze and tape all together. 11:22.120 --> 11:23.120 Oh, yeah. 11:23.120 --> 11:26.200 And you say he had one over the right eyebrow and one on his chin? 11:26.200 --> 11:27.360 Yes, sir. 11:27.360 --> 11:28.880 I still think it was a white shirt. 11:28.880 --> 11:29.880 I said it was blue. 11:29.880 --> 11:32.240 Are you trying to say that I don't know blue when I see it? 11:32.240 --> 11:35.320 No, sir, I just think that you might have made a mistake in all the excitement. 11:35.320 --> 11:36.320 Officer. 11:36.320 --> 11:37.320 Yes, sir? 11:37.320 --> 11:38.320 It was a blue shirt. 11:38.320 --> 11:39.320 All right, sir. 11:39.320 --> 11:40.320 How about his car, the one he got away in? 11:40.320 --> 11:41.320 It was parked right out in front. 11:41.320 --> 11:42.320 Did you see it? 11:42.320 --> 11:43.320 Certainly I saw it. 11:43.320 --> 11:44.320 I was standing right in the door when he drove away. 11:44.320 --> 11:46.200 Well, can you describe the car for us? 11:46.200 --> 11:50.240 Yes, like I told the other officers, it was a late model Buick, dark blue, a coupe. 11:50.240 --> 11:52.440 I'm sorry, sir, but it was a green Ford sedan. 11:52.440 --> 11:55.240 Well, let's see if we can't let Mr. Allen tell his story, Mr. Gibson. 11:55.240 --> 11:57.200 We'll check it with you when we finish with him, all right? 11:57.200 --> 11:58.200 No. 11:58.200 --> 11:59.600 I don't know what you're trying to prove with these officers. 11:59.600 --> 12:02.680 After the way you handled the affair, there's no use trying to impress them with your prowess 12:02.680 --> 12:03.680 as a detective. 12:03.680 --> 12:07.080 It was a dark blue Buick coupe. 12:07.080 --> 12:10.520 Anything unusual about the car that you could see, any dented fenders, stickers, windshield 12:10.520 --> 12:12.440 emblems, anything like that, would you remember? 12:12.440 --> 12:14.240 No, I didn't notice anything special. 12:14.240 --> 12:16.440 No, sir, it looked pretty new as far as I could tell. 12:16.440 --> 12:17.440 All right, fine. 12:17.440 --> 12:19.320 Well, you two gentlemen have helped us a lot here. 12:19.320 --> 12:21.840 There are some questions we'd like to ask the other people in the bank. 12:21.840 --> 12:23.440 Oh, yes, that's what the other officers said. 12:23.440 --> 12:24.440 I told them all to stay. 12:24.440 --> 12:25.440 Would you like to talk to them now? 12:25.440 --> 12:26.440 Yes, sir. 12:26.440 --> 12:27.440 Fine, I'll send them in here to you. 12:27.440 --> 12:29.240 No, we can talk to them out there, sir, it'll be all right. 12:29.240 --> 12:30.240 All right. 12:30.240 --> 12:33.240 Gibson, maybe you can help them. 12:33.240 --> 12:34.240 Officer. 12:34.240 --> 12:35.520 Yes, Gibson. 12:35.520 --> 12:40.080 I didn't want to tell you while we were in there. 12:40.080 --> 12:41.280 He'd probably make some remark. 12:41.280 --> 12:42.760 I didn't even tell the other officers. 12:42.760 --> 12:45.200 It's about the license number of the bandit's car. 12:45.200 --> 12:46.200 Did you get it? 12:46.200 --> 12:55.200 Well, not all of it, sir, just the first three numbers. 12:55.200 --> 12:59.000 The bank guard went on to explain that in the confusion he had failed to give the information 12:59.000 --> 13:01.320 about the license number to the other officers. 13:01.320 --> 13:02.800 We continued to talk to him. 13:02.800 --> 13:06.240 He told us that the bandit had tied a cloth over the rear license plate and that as he 13:06.240 --> 13:09.880 drove away from the scene, a corner of the cloth had come loose and he was able to see 13:09.880 --> 13:12.160 the first three numbers of the plate. 13:12.160 --> 13:16.600 We called this information into communications and a supplemental broadcast was gotten out. 13:16.600 --> 13:20.880 In company with agents from the FBI, we talked to the rest of the employees in the bank. 13:20.880 --> 13:24.760 From them, we got a fairly good description of the holdup man and of his car. 13:24.760 --> 13:28.060 They agreed that it was a late model, dark Ford sedan. 13:28.060 --> 13:32.240 With FBI agent Tom Asherid, Frank and I checked by the office and asked the stats office to 13:32.240 --> 13:33.960 make a run on the MO. 13:33.960 --> 13:37.800 We checked the oddity file on R&I on the possibility that the tape might have been used to cover 13:37.800 --> 13:41.600 scars or other marks that would make identification easier. 13:41.600 --> 13:42.600 9.46 p.m. 13:42.600 --> 13:46.680 We stopped and got some sandwiches and coffee and then we went to the DMV offices. 13:46.680 --> 13:47.680 Hi, Joe. 13:47.680 --> 13:48.680 George, you know Frank. 13:48.680 --> 13:49.680 Yeah, hi. 13:49.680 --> 13:50.680 How's it going, George?

15:03.960 --> 15:04.960 Well, we got a place to start here. 15:04.960 --> 15:05.960 302 names. 15:05.960 --> 15:14.280 6.30 a.m. We checked back into the office, and then we went home to get a couple of hours 15:14.280 --> 15:15.280 sleep. 15:15.280 --> 15:17.880 At 8.30 a.m., Frank, Tom, and I met in the robbery office. 15:17.880 --> 15:21.280 Captain Didion had assigned four other teams of men to work with us. 15:21.280 --> 15:24.080 The FBI had also assigned additional agents. 15:24.080 --> 15:27.280 The list of possible was divided up, and we began to check them out. 15:27.280 --> 15:29.040 We spent three days on it. 15:29.040 --> 15:33.040 In each instance, we didn't talk to the person involved directly, but to their neighbors. 15:33.040 --> 15:37.680 We didn't explain what it was that we were after, merely that we were conducting an investigation. 15:37.680 --> 15:41.600 We ran into the usual false leaves, the usual petty jealousies, and the neighborhood feud. 15:41.600 --> 15:44.640 It all served to slow us down and make the job more difficult. 15:44.640 --> 15:48.720 There had been no replies to the local or the APB that we'd gotten out on the car or 15:48.720 --> 15:49.880 the bandits. 15:49.880 --> 15:53.000 The staff's office had come up with two possibles on the MO. 15:53.000 --> 15:55.080 These were both checked out, but let us know where. 15:55.080 --> 15:58.160 We went back to checking out the license plate numbers. 15:58.160 --> 15:59.160 January 28th. 15:59.160 --> 16:01.800 The names on our list were down to seven. 16:01.800 --> 16:03.960 The next one was a Mr. Ivan Q. Field. 16:03.960 --> 16:06.000 We rang the bell to the house next door and waited. 16:06.000 --> 16:07.000 Yes? 16:07.000 --> 16:08.000 Sorry to bother you, ma'am. 16:08.000 --> 16:10.000 Police officers, what if we could talk to you? 16:10.000 --> 16:11.000 Police? 16:11.000 --> 16:12.000 Well, what's it about? 16:12.000 --> 16:13.000 I haven't done anything. 16:13.000 --> 16:14.680 No, ma'am, we'd just like to ask you a couple of questions about your next door neighbor, 16:14.680 --> 16:15.680 Mr. Field. 16:15.680 --> 16:16.680 I should have known. 16:16.680 --> 16:19.440 I thought a couple of times about calling you about him myself, miserable man. 16:19.440 --> 16:20.880 I wonder if we could come in, ma'am. 16:20.880 --> 16:22.440 Might be better than talking on the phone. 16:22.440 --> 16:23.440 You just bet you can. 16:23.440 --> 16:24.440 Come right in. 16:24.440 --> 16:25.440 I'll tell you what you want to know. 16:25.440 --> 16:26.440 Thank you very much. 16:26.440 --> 16:28.440 What do you want him for? 16:28.440 --> 16:29.440 What's he done? 16:29.440 --> 16:30.440 Well, we're just conducting an investigation, ma'am. 16:30.440 --> 16:32.440 A few things we'd like to know about Mr. Field. 16:32.440 --> 16:33.440 Uh-huh. 16:33.440 --> 16:34.440 Well, you don't have to play cozy with me. 16:34.440 --> 16:36.160 I know what kind of people they are. 16:36.160 --> 16:37.160 Can't understand it either. 16:37.160 --> 16:38.160 Ma'am? 16:38.160 --> 16:39.640 I said I couldn't understand it. 16:39.640 --> 16:42.000 His brothers, so nice, a real gentleman. 16:42.000 --> 16:45.120 It seems hard to believe that they'd even be related, let alone be brothers. 16:45.120 --> 16:47.480 Nothing but trouble since he and his wife moved in. 16:47.480 --> 16:48.480 You mean it's not their house? 16:48.480 --> 16:49.480 Oh, of course not. 16:49.480 --> 16:52.680 I don't think either one of them could afford to rent on a one-room apartment, let alone 16:52.680 --> 16:53.680 a house. 16:53.680 --> 16:54.680 Would you know if they have a car? 16:54.680 --> 16:55.680 No, no, not them. 16:55.680 --> 16:57.640 Like I said, I don't think he's ever worked. 16:57.640 --> 16:59.240 Just lives off his brother. 16:59.240 --> 17:00.240 His brother has a car. 17:00.240 --> 17:01.240 It's real nice. 17:01.240 --> 17:02.240 What kind of a car is it, ma'am? 17:02.240 --> 17:03.240 Do you know? 17:03.240 --> 17:04.240 Yes, it's a Ford. 17:04.240 --> 17:05.240 Do you know what model? 17:05.240 --> 17:06.240 Model? 17:06.240 --> 17:07.240 Yes, ma'am. 17:07.240 --> 17:08.240 Is it a coupe or a sedan?

17:17.240 --> 17:18.240 Yes, I think so. 17:18.240 --> 17:19.240 I saw him out in the backyard a couple of hours ago, him and his wife. 17:19.240 --> 17:20.240 He was prancing around in one of them skimpy little sun suits. 17:20.240 --> 17:21.240 Terrible. 17:21.240 --> 17:29.240 No decency at all, I tell you, Officer, neither one of them is any good. 17:29.240 --> 17:31.040 Do you know what Mr. Field does for a living? 17:31.040 --> 17:32.040 Oh, you mean does he work? 17:32.040 --> 17:33.040 Yes, ma'am. 17:33.040 --> 17:34.040 Oh, no. 17:34.040 --> 17:35.040 At least I've never seen any indication that he does. 17:35.040 --> 17:38.040 All he does is just sit around the yard and throw rocks at my cat. 17:38.040 --> 17:39.040 Terrible. 17:39.040 --> 17:41.040 That's what I was going to call you about. 17:41.040 --> 17:44.040 Isn't there a law or something about throwing things at poor, dumb animals? 17:44.040 --> 17:45.040 Yes, ma'am. 17:45.040 --> 17:46.520 Of course, cats aren't really dumb. 17:46.520 --> 17:49.680 Lots of times I think they're a lot smarter than some people I know. 17:49.680 --> 17:52.640 I wonder if you could describe Ivan Field for us, ma'am. 17:52.640 --> 17:53.640 Oh, sure. 17:53.640 --> 17:55.640 He's kind of a little man, not very big. 17:55.640 --> 17:56.640 About how tall, ma'am? 17:56.640 --> 17:57.640 Oh, maybe five feet seven. 17:57.640 --> 17:58.640 How about his coloring? 17:58.640 --> 17:59.640 Mean his hair? 17:59.640 --> 18:00.640 Yes, ma'am. 18:00.640 --> 18:01.640 Dark, very dark. 18:01.640 --> 18:02.640 He lets us out when he looks that way. 18:02.640 --> 18:03.640 Well, thank you very much, ma'am. 18:03.640 --> 18:04.640 Sorry to cause you all this trouble. 18:04.640 --> 18:05.640 Oh, no trouble at all. 18:05.640 --> 18:06.640 Are you going to arrest him now?

18:27.640 --> 18:28.640 You mean that the man living next door isn't Ivan Field? 18:28.640 --> 18:29.640 No. 18:29.640 --> 18:30.640 I didn't say it was. 18:30.640 --> 18:31.640 It's his brother, Harry. 18:31.640 --> 18:32.640 Brother? 18:32.640 --> 18:33.640 What's the matter with you, young man? 18:33.640 --> 18:34.640 Don't you hear well? 18:34.640 --> 18:35.640 Everything I say, you ask me to repeat. 18:35.640 --> 18:36.640 I don't mean to, ma'am. 18:36.640 --> 18:37.640 It's just that I want to be sure of what you say. 18:37.640 --> 18:44.640 What's going on here? 18:44.640 --> 18:49.640 First you ask me a lot of questions about Mr. Field, and then I tell you that he isn't 18:49.640 --> 18:51.640 home, and his wife went back east for the holidays. 18:51.640 --> 18:52.640 They haven't come back yet. 18:52.640 --> 18:55.640 While he was gone, he said that his brother could use the house. 18:55.640 --> 18:57.640 I thought at first it would be nice. 18:57.640 --> 18:59.640 Then I found out. 18:59.640 --> 19:01.640 Harry is nothing like his brother, nothing at all. 19:01.640 --> 19:03.640 Well, what if we could describe him for us? 19:03.640 --> 19:05.640 My, you want to know about everybody, don't you? 19:05.640 --> 19:08.640 Well, we'd just like a description of Harry Field, ma'am, that's all. 19:08.640 --> 19:10.640 Well, he's taller than Ivan. 19:10.640 --> 19:11.640 Harry must be close to six feet. 19:11.640 --> 19:14.640 He doesn't look anything like Ivan in any other way. 19:14.640 --> 19:15.640 Ivan's dark in Harry's life. 19:15.640 --> 19:17.640 His hair almost doesn't have any color. 19:17.640 --> 19:18.640 He's real blonde. 19:18.640 --> 19:19.640 How long ago did they move in? 19:19.640 --> 19:20.640 Well, now let me see. 19:20.640 --> 19:22.640 Elizabeth, that's my Persian cat. 19:22.640 --> 19:25.640 Well, Elizabeth had her last litter in December. 19:25.640 --> 19:26.640 December the 12th. 19:26.640 --> 19:29.640 Harry and his wife moved in the next morning. 19:29.640 --> 19:32.640 I remember that because I was up most of the night with Elizabeth. 19:32.640 --> 19:33.640 She didn't need me. 19:33.640 --> 19:34.640 Awfully independent. 19:34.640 --> 19:36.640 But it was the morning that they moved in. 19:36.640 --> 19:37.640 Oh, I remember it well. 19:37.640 --> 19:39.640 Elizabeth had six little kittens. 19:39.640 --> 19:41.640 It was December the 13th when Harry moved in. 19:41.640 --> 19:43.640 And they've been using Ivan Field's car? 19:43.640 --> 19:44.640 Oh, my, yes. 19:44.640 --> 19:46.640 Hardly a day goes by, but what, they don't drive it somewhere. 19:46.640 --> 19:48.640 I wonder if we could use your phone, ma'am. 19:48.640 --> 19:49.640 Oh, sure. 19:49.640 --> 19:50.640 It's on the table there in the hall. 19:50.640 --> 19:51.640 Thanks. 19:51.640 --> 19:52.640 I'll check the names who are in it. 19:52.640 --> 19:53.640 Okay. 19:53.640 --> 19:57.640 Would you happen to know if this Harry Field has any marks or scars on him? 19:57.640 --> 19:58.640 Well, now let me see. 19:58.640 --> 20:00.640 I think so. 20:00.640 --> 20:03.640 Seems to me that I saw him and his wife out in the backyard one day. 20:03.640 --> 20:07.640 He was wearing swimming trunks and she was in one of those sun suits I told you about. 20:07.640 --> 20:08.640 It's graceful. 20:08.640 --> 20:09.640 Yes, ma'am. 20:09.640 --> 20:12.640 Well, it seems to me that he had a scar on his leg. 20:12.640 --> 20:14.640 Yes, just above the knee. 20:14.640 --> 20:16.640 I think it was the right leg. 20:16.640 --> 20:20.640 No, what I meant, ma'am, was does he have any marks on his face, on his forehead or on his chin? 20:20.640 --> 20:21.640 No, no, no marks. 20:21.640 --> 20:22.640 Oh. 20:22.640 --> 20:23.640 Oh, wait a minute. 20:23.640 --> 20:26.640 The other day I noticed he had a cut over his right eyebrow. 20:26.640 --> 20:28.640 It looked like he'd been in a fight. 20:28.640 --> 20:30.640 Probably a drunken brawl. 20:30.640 --> 20:31.640 So? 20:31.640 --> 20:32.640 Yeah, anything? 20:32.640 --> 20:33.640 Talked to Cunningham. 20:33.640 --> 20:34.640 He checked the name. 20:34.640 --> 20:35.640 Looks like it might be the same one. 20:35.640 --> 20:36.640 What's that? 20:36.640 --> 20:38.640 They paroled a Harry Q. Field from San Quentin. 20:38.640 --> 20:40.640 Description checks out when they parole him. 20:40.640 --> 20:42.640 December 10th last year, did a term for robbery. 20:42.640 --> 20:57.640 You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. 20:57.640 --> 21:00.640 Chesterfield was first to name its ingredients. 21:00.640 --> 21:03.640 Ingredients that give you the best possible smoke. 21:03.640 --> 21:08.640 Now Chesterfield is first to give you scientific facts in support of smoking. 21:08.640 --> 21:15.640 Nose, throat, and accessory organs not adversely affected by smoking Chesterfields. 21:15.640 --> 21:18.640 First such report published about any cigarette. 21:18.640 --> 21:25.640 A responsible consulting organization reports a study by a competent medical specialist and staff on the effects of smoking Chesterfields. 21:25.640 --> 21:29.640 For six months, a group of men and women smoked only Chesterfield. 21:29.640 --> 21:32.640 Ten to forty a day their normal amount. 21:32.640 --> 21:38.640 Forty-five percent of the group of smoked Chesterfields from one to thirty years for an average of ten years each. 21:38.640 --> 21:47.640 At the beginning and end of the six months, each smoker was given a thorough examination including x-rays and covering the sinuses, nose, ears, and throat. 21:47.640 --> 21:51.640 After these examinations, the medical specialist stated, 21:51.640 --> 22:03.640 It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat, and accessory organs of all participating subjects examined by me were not adversely affected in the six months period by smoking the cigarettes provided. 22:03.640 --> 22:08.640 Remember this report and buy Chesterfields either way you like them. 22:08.640 --> 22:14.640 Regular or king size. Premium quality Chesterfields and much milder. 22:14.640 --> 22:25.640 January 28th, 430 p.m. We called the office and told them of the latest developments. 22:25.640 --> 22:31.640 Tom Ashford called the local FBI office and arrangements were made to take Harry Field and his wife into custody. 22:31.640 --> 22:38.640 A further check on him was made through R&I and we found that his record listed four arrests for armed robbery with only one conviction. 22:38.640 --> 22:42.640 He spent four and a half years in San Quentin before he'd gotten his parole. 22:42.640 --> 22:46.640 The name of his brother was also checked. He had no previous record. 22:46.640 --> 22:49.640 The car in Field's driveway matched the one used by the bandit. 22:49.640 --> 22:54.640 512 p.m. The men from robbery arrived and the plan for taking Field was formulated. 22:54.640 --> 23:03.640 The working detective knows that to successfully apprehend an armed and dangerous suspect, he must act quickly and employ the one big advantage on his side, the element of surprise. 23:03.640 --> 23:08.640 By moving rapidly before the suspect becomes aware of any attempt to apprehend him, 23:08.640 --> 23:17.640 the officer in many cases cannot only avoid bloodshed but can often have a better chance of preserving any and all physical evidence necessary to prosecute the suspect. 23:17.640 --> 23:20.640 536 p.m. We were ready to move in. 23:20.640 --> 23:22.640 All set, gentlemen. Our arms back. 23:22.640 --> 23:25.640 Good. No indication he knows what's up. The lights are still on. 23:25.640 --> 23:27.640 Let's hope it stays that way. 23:27.640 --> 23:29.640 Officer? Mr. Friday? 23:29.640 --> 23:30.640 The Jenkins woman. 23:30.640 --> 23:31.640 Yeah. 23:31.640 --> 23:32.640 Officer! 23:32.640 --> 23:35.640 Ma'am, would you mind keeping your voice down? We don't want Field to know we're here. 23:35.640 --> 23:37.640 Well, I'm not talking loud, but there's something I want you to know. 23:37.640 --> 23:40.640 Well, it'd be better if you went back into your house, ma'am. Just stay there till this is over, would you? 23:40.640 --> 23:42.640 That's sort of what I want to tell you about. 23:42.640 --> 23:43.640 Ma'am? 23:43.640 --> 23:46.640 Well, I got to thinking, and I figure maybe here he wasn't too bad a sword after all. 23:46.640 --> 23:51.640 We don't want to be rude here, but I think it'd be better if you go back in your house. All this talking's allowed to let him know that we're here. 23:51.640 --> 23:54.640 But that's just it. I don't want anybody hurt, so I called him. 23:54.640 --> 23:55.640 What? 23:54.640 --> 23:58.640 I called him. Told him he didn't have a chance to give himself up. 23:58.640 --> 24:05.640 Unknowingly, Mrs. Jenkins had made it impossible to take the suspect without violence. 24:05.640 --> 24:10.640 By warning him, she had put him on the alert. We had no alternative now but to apprehend him as best we could. 24:10.640 --> 24:12.640 5.40 p.m. 24:12.640 --> 24:15.640 McHaleb and Crowley are covering the back. Other fellows are covering the side windows. 24:15.640 --> 24:28.640 All right. Let's go. 24:28.640 --> 24:29.640 What do you want? 24:29.640 --> 24:31.640 Open up. Come on, Field. We want to talk to you. 24:31.640 --> 24:35.640 Yeah, I'll be there in a minute. Take it easy. 24:35.640 --> 24:37.640 Open up, Field. Police officers. 24:37.640 --> 24:42.640 All right.

Come on. 24:58.640 --> 24:59.640 I'll shake him down. 24:59.640 --> 25:01.640 All right. 25:04.640 --> 25:06.640 He's clean, Joe. 25:06.640 --> 25:07.640 You got him, huh? 25:07.640 --> 25:08.640 Yeah. We got part of the loot, too. 25:08.640 --> 25:09.640 He's trying to burn it. 25:09.640 --> 25:11.640 Crowley and I will shake the rest of the house. 25:11.640 --> 25:12.640 Right, Max. 25:12.640 --> 25:13.640 All right. How about it, Field? 25:13.640 --> 25:15.640 We got the money. People can identify you. 25:15.640 --> 25:17.640 Car parked in the driveway. It fits the description. 25:17.640 --> 25:18.640 You've been through this before. 25:18.640 --> 25:20.640 You got out of Q on December 10th. 25:20.640 --> 25:22.640 You pulled this job on January 21st.
