Where's it come from? 11:12.940 --> 11:14.940 Come on. Who's your connection? 11:14.940 --> 11:16.940 You maybe got me, but I'm not going to be a fink. 11:16.940 --> 11:18.940 You got to let me go at that. 11:18.940 --> 11:20.940 I can't do that. Now, where'd you get this stuff? 11:20.940 --> 11:22.940 How about that doctor? You going to do something about that? 11:22.940 --> 11:24.940 We'll talk to him. 11:24.940 --> 11:26.940 Talking to him ain't going to do any good. I got to have a fix. 11:26.940 --> 11:28.940 I'm going to fall apart. 11:28.940 --> 11:30.940 Come on now. Be a pal. Let me have a fix.

We're going to have to hold him for a while in this field. 11:44.940 --> 11:46.940 Why'd you do it, Gary? 11:46.940 --> 11:48.940 Why? 11:48.940 --> 11:50.940 Can't you tell me? 11:50.940 --> 11:52.940 Is it something your father and I have done? 11:54.940 --> 11:56.940 There's got to be a reason. What is it? 11:56.940 --> 11:58.940 Oh, please, Gary. Tell me. 11:58.940 --> 12:00.940 Come on. Let's get out of here. 12:04.940 --> 12:06.940 Can we see him after he gets here, Joe? 12:06.940 --> 12:08.940 Yeah, I'll call the head. 12:08.940 --> 12:10.940 Don't you want to say goodbye to your mother, son? 12:10.940 --> 12:12.940 Why? I wouldn't prove anything. 12:12.940 --> 12:14.940 Yeah, I guess that's the way you'd look at it. 12:14.940 --> 12:16.940 I broke the law. Now they're going to make a convict out of me. 12:16.940 --> 12:18.940 I didn't call him. You did. 12:18.940 --> 12:20.940 How are you going to explain that to her? 12:20.940 --> 12:22.940 You turned your own son in. How are you going to tell her about it? 12:22.940 --> 12:24.940 I hope you're real happy now. 12:24.940 --> 12:26.940 I'm not proud of it, son. 12:26.940 --> 12:28.940 There's one thing I'd like to ask. 12:28.940 --> 12:30.940 Yeah? What have you done to her? 12:34.940 --> 12:38.940 8.30 p.m. I called Frank Smith and filled him in on what had happened. 12:38.940 --> 12:40.940 He said that he'd meet me at Georgia Street Receiving Hospital. 12:40.940 --> 12:44.940 I took young Gary Field down with me and had a doctor check him over. 12:44.940 --> 12:48.940 After that, the boy was taken to the narcotics division and Frank and I talked to him. 12:48.940 --> 12:50.940 I don't know how to tell you any better. There's no other way to say it. 12:50.940 --> 12:52.940 I'm not going to give you any names. 12:52.940 --> 12:54.940 That's not going to help you any, son. 12:54.940 --> 12:56.940 I won't get any of my friends in trouble. 12:56.940 --> 12:58.940 You've got great friends, haven't you? 12:58.940 --> 13:00.940 Where did you get the money to take care of your habits? 13:00.940 --> 13:02.940 I earned it. 13:02.940 --> 13:04.940 Where? 13:04.940 --> 13:06.940 I worked. 13:06.940 --> 13:08.940 It's getting late. I still need a fix. I'm getting sick. 13:08.940 --> 13:10.940 Do what you've got to do. Let's get this over with. 13:10.940 --> 13:12.940 This is going to be the same in the morning. 13:12.940 --> 13:14.940 We're going to keep asking questions until you come up with the right answers. 13:14.940 --> 13:16.940 Look, cop, I don't want any favors from you. Now leave me alone. 13:16.940 --> 13:18.940 We're only trying to help you, boy. 13:18.940 --> 13:20.940 Get off my side. I need nothing from you. 13:20.940 --> 13:22.940 You saw your duty and you did it. That makes you a big man. 13:22.940 --> 13:24.940 All right, that's enough of that. Now there's a couple of things we'd like to set you straight on. 13:24.940 --> 13:26.940 Maybe help you to figure where you stand in this. 13:26.940 --> 13:28.940 Oh, here it comes. 13:28.940 --> 13:30.940 What do they do? Give you a license to preach when they hand you the badge? 13:30.940 --> 13:32.940 That's enough of that, youngster. 13:32.940 --> 13:34.940 Come on, get off my back, cop. If my old man hadn't turned thick, you'd never have got me. 13:34.940 --> 13:36.940 Where are you going? 13:36.940 --> 13:38.940 I'm getting out of here. 13:38.940 --> 13:40.940 Now sit down. 13:40.940 --> 13:42.940 Sit down. 13:44.940 --> 13:46.940 All right, young fellow, you want to be a big man? 13:46.940 --> 13:48.940 That's the way it's going to be. 13:48.940 --> 13:50.940 I'm going to tell you that you get no special treatment here because I know your parents. 13:50.940 --> 13:52.940 You'll be treated just like any other user. 13:52.940 --> 13:54.940 You're getting a little of the edge because you're a youngster. 13:54.940 --> 13:56.940 There's not a pound of honesty or integrity in your distorted mind. 13:56.940 --> 13:58.940 The simple way would be to drop you in a cell and let you sweat out the cure. 13:58.940 --> 14:00.940 Let you fall apart if you had to. 14:00.940 --> 14:02.940 Let me tell you this. 14:02.940 --> 14:04.940 We're going to get the connection that's been supplying you. 14:04.940 --> 14:06.940 Then we're going to get the man behind him. I don't much care about them. 14:06.940 --> 14:08.940 But I do care about the kids around you. 14:08.940 --> 14:10.940 You've got a big habit. 14:10.940 --> 14:12.940 It takes a lot of money to keep up a habit like that. 14:12.940 --> 14:14.940 I've seen kids like you before and there's only so many ways to get that money. 14:14.940 --> 14:16.940 You steal it or you start pushing narcotics yourself. 14:16.940 --> 14:18.940 I don't think you're stealing so you've got to be pushing it. 14:18.940 --> 14:20.940 That means you've probably got other kids hooked on it. 14:20.940 --> 14:22.940 Other youngsters have got trouble because of you. 14:22.940 --> 14:24.940 Mules that are dragging your wagon for you. 14:24.940 --> 14:26.940 Your folks will maybe forgive you for what you've done to them. 14:26.940 --> 14:28.940 But they'll never be able to buy what you did to the other kids. 14:28.940 --> 14:30.940 You had a chance to help yourself and help the rest of them. 14:30.940 --> 14:32.940 You had a chance to do something good for somebody else and you wouldn't take it. 14:32.940 --> 14:34.940 Well you're playing it smart big boy. 14:34.940 --> 14:36.940 Keep playing it that way when you end up in a jail cell, will you? 14:38.940 --> 14:40.940 You through cop? Yeah I'm through. 14:40.940 --> 14:42.940 Fine, let me get some sleep, huh? 14:42.940 --> 14:48.940 Let's go Frank. 14:54.940 --> 14:56.940 You are listening to Dragnet. 14:56.940 --> 14:58.940 The authentic story of your police force in action. 14:58.940 --> 15:02.940 Friends, you'll remember some months ago we read you our first report. 15:02.940 --> 15:04.940 The six months report on the effects of smoking. 15:04.940 --> 15:07.940 Then more recently we read you the eight months report. 15:07.940 --> 15:09.940 Now here is the latest one. 15:09.940 --> 15:12.940 The full ten months report confirms again. 15:12.940 --> 15:20.940 The group examined showed no adverse effects on the nose, throat and sinuses from smoking Chesterfields. 15:20.940 --> 15:26.940 This from a medical specialist who is making regular bi-monthly examinations of a group of people from various walks of life. 15:26.940 --> 15:30.940 Forty-five percent of them have smoked Chesterfield for an average of over ten years. 15:30.940 --> 15:38.940 After ten full months, the specialist reports he observed no adverse effects on the nose, throat and sinuses of the group. 15:38.940 --> 15:40.940 From smoking Chesterfield. 15:40.940 --> 15:42.940 That's the report. 15:42.940 --> 15:44.940 Buy much milder Chesterfield. 15:44.940 --> 15:46.940 Regular or king size. 15:46.940 --> 15:49.940 The cigarette that's best for you. 15:59.940 --> 16:01.940 Gary Field was taken to the main jail and booked. 16:01.940 --> 16:04.940 Frank and I went back to the office to fill out the arrest reports. 16:04.940 --> 16:08.940 The next day, Wednesday, April 7th, we began to talk to Gary's friends and teachers. 16:08.940 --> 16:10.940 From all of them we got the same story. 16:10.940 --> 16:13.940 Until six months before, the boy had been a model student. 16:13.940 --> 16:16.940 He was always at the top scholastically in each of his classes. 16:16.940 --> 16:21.940 He was a member of several honorary student organizations and had twice been nominated for president of his class. 16:21.940 --> 16:25.940 Then apparently without reason the boy's personality had changed. 16:25.940 --> 16:27.940 He stopped taking an interest in his schoolwork. 16:27.940 --> 16:31.940 Several of his teachers told us that he wouldn't have gotten passing grades at the end of the semester. 16:31.940 --> 16:33.940 He dropped out of the service organizations at school. 16:33.940 --> 16:36.940 From some of his teachers we got the names of his close friends. 16:36.940 --> 16:38.940 Talks with them netted us little. 16:38.940 --> 16:43.940 They told us that Gary had dropped out of the crowd of youngsters that he'd been running with and had taken up with new friends. 16:43.940 --> 16:45.940 They told us that they didn't see much of him after school. 16:45.940 --> 16:49.940 That he'd gotten into fights with other students on several occasions. 16:49.940 --> 16:52.940 And that after a period of time they'd stopped asking him to their functions. 16:52.940 --> 16:55.940 None of them were able to give us the names of his new friends. 16:55.940 --> 16:57.940 We checked with the neighborhood merchants. 16:57.940 --> 16:58.940 Most of them knew Gary. 16:58.940 --> 17:01.940 They said that he'd worked for them after school, but they hadn't seen him for several months. 17:01.940 --> 17:04.940 We asked them if they could help us locate his friends. 17:04.940 --> 17:09.940 They told us that they had seen him in the company of one particular man on several occasions, but they couldn't identify him for us. 17:09.940 --> 17:14.940 We got a description of the man, but it meant nothing to us or to the other members of the narcotics division. 17:14.940 --> 17:20.940 Photographs of known narcotics suspects were shown to the parents of Gary Field and to the storekeepers around the school. 17:20.940 --> 17:22.940 They couldn't identify any of them. 17:22.940 --> 17:25.940 Two days passed. Friday, April 8th. 17:25.940 --> 17:27.940 We got a call from the Field Boy. 17:27.940 --> 17:28.940 Frank and I went over to see him. 17:28.940 --> 17:30.940 What did you want to see us about, Gary? 17:30.940 --> 17:32.940 I wanted to tell you that I've had it. 17:32.940 --> 17:33.940 What's that mean? 17:33.940 --> 17:35.940 That I want to tell you about it. 17:35.940 --> 17:37.940 What's the matter? You been sick? 17:37.940 --> 17:41.940 A little. That's not why I called you, though. They treated me all right here, but I got to think it. 17:41.940 --> 17:43.940 All right, go ahead. 17:43.940 --> 17:48.940 I used to read in the papers where the kids would turn themselves in or get caught and cop out. 17:48.940 --> 17:50.940 All about how they realized what they'd done. 17:50.940 --> 17:53.940 Always seemed like a lot of phony sob sister stuff. 17:53.940 --> 17:56.940 I know different now. I know what I've done. I know I've got to stand for it. 17:56.940 --> 18:00.940 I'm not asking any favors because I know that I've done nothing to call for. 18:00.940 --> 18:05.940 I'm not trying to be a hero or a martyr. I just want to help get this thing cleaned up. 18:05.940 --> 18:07.940 One thing I'd like to know, Gary. 18:07.940 --> 18:08.940 What's that? 18:08.940 --> 18:11.940 What made you get started on this stuff? You seem like a kid that has everything you want. 18:11.940 --> 18:13.940 You don't look like a kid who'd fall for it. 18:13.940 --> 18:17.940 Who knows? I'd give you a thousand reasons they still wouldn't add. 18:17.940 --> 18:19.940 I guess I just wanted to be top man all the way around. 18:19.940 --> 18:21.940 How'd you get on it? 18:21.940 --> 18:25.940 Started lushing it up, then the tea, then the heroin. That's the way it runs, isn't it? 18:25.940 --> 18:27.940 What was the cost at the time? 18:27.940 --> 18:31.940 I didn't figure I'd ever be hooked. I thought it couldn't happen to me. 18:31.940 --> 18:33.940 How wrong you can be. 18:33.940 --> 18:35.940 How long you had the big habit? 18:35.940 --> 18:38.940 About six months. Chipped with it about the same time before then. 18:38.940 --> 18:40.940 Where'd you get the money? 18:40.940 --> 18:42.940 I guess we had to get to that. 18:42.940 --> 18:45.940 That's right. Where'd you get it? 18:45.940 --> 18:48.940 I got some kids pushing this stuff for me. 18:48.940 --> 18:52.940 Worked for a while. Wasn't enough. By that time, the kids were hooked themselves. 18:52.940 --> 18:55.940 They had to do business with me or do without it. 18:55.940 --> 18:58.940 I told them if they couldn't pay me in cash, I'd take merchandise. 18:58.940 --> 19:00.940 They'd bring it. I'd sell it. 19:00.940 --> 19:03.940 That way we both came out all right. They got their H. I got mine. 19:03.940 --> 19:05.940 You mean you got them to steal, didn't you? 19:05.940 --> 19:08.940 Yeah, I guess so. I never asked where they got the stuff. 19:08.940 --> 19:12.940 I just took it and sold it. That and the stuff they sold for me. I made out. 19:12.940 --> 19:14.940 These kids pushing H for you? 19:14.940 --> 19:17.940 No. They're shoving tea. I sell it to them for four bits of stick. 19:17.940 --> 19:19.940 They get up to a buck and a half for it. 19:19.940 --> 19:20.940 Do you know where they peddle it? 19:20.940 --> 19:23.940 No, I never asked. All I was interested in was if I got mine. 19:23.940 --> 19:26.940 All right. Give us their names, will you? 19:26.940 --> 19:27.940 I guess that's the only way, huh? 19:27.940 --> 19:30.940 That's the only way. 19:30.940 --> 19:31.940 Okay, I'll give them to you. 19:31.940 --> 19:33.940 How about your connection? Who's he? 19:33.940 --> 19:34.940 Guy named Jack. Jack who? 19:34.940 --> 19:36.940 I don't know. Honest. I really don't. 19:36.940 --> 19:37.940 Where'd you meet him? 19:37.940 --> 19:38.940 Drive-in downtown. 19:38.940 --> 19:40.940 Where? 19:40.940 --> 19:42.940 Drive-in at the corner of Reno and Vernon. 19:42.940 --> 19:44.940 How do you set up the meet? 19:44.940 --> 19:47.940 I just go in there between 10 and midnight, park the car, and order coffee. 19:47.940 --> 19:48.940 He comes over to the car. 19:48.940 --> 19:50.940 You mean that he's always there at that time, huh? 19:50.940 --> 19:51.940 Usually is. 19:51.940 --> 19:52.940 Is he your only source? 19:52.940 --> 19:53.940 Yeah. 19:53.940 --> 19:55.940 Anyone else pushing it around there? 19:55.940 --> 19:57.940 No, as far as I know. I think he's the only one in the operation. 19:57.940 --> 20:01.940 All right.
