There's a man in that house and he's got a gun. 335 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,520 I don't care about Mr. Gray. What he does is his own business. I'm just telling you to get out of my flowers. 336 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,520 All the year I've been worrying over trying to cope the blossom out of them. 337 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,520 Now you come around here with your big feet and ruin it all. 338 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,520 We're sorry about that, but we have to get Gray out of that house. 339 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,520 Then do it without stepping all over my flowers. 340 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520 You're a cop. You're supposed to know how to handle things like this. 341 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,520 Look what you've done to my two breast begonias. 342 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,520 Three months I've been working with them. 343 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520 Just put them out last week and now look, they're all broken. 344 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,520 You just ought to be ashamed of yourself, big men like you, doing a thing like this to my flowers. 345 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,520 Look, ma'am, if we hurt your flowers, we're sorry. As you did. 346 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,520 Do you think you'd better get inside now, lady? 347 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520 Are you telling me what to do? Yes, ma'am. 348 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,520 That's a direct order? Yes, ma'am. 349 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,520 All right. I'll go, but you just remember, you ordered me to go. 350 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520 You're going to hear about this young man. What's your number? 351 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,520 What's the number on your badge? 352 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520 I intend to report you for this. You find out. 353 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,520 Poor two-breast begonias. You find out. Now, what's your number? 354 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Frank, you want to handle it? Yeah. 355 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Come on, ma'am. We can talk right over here. 356 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,520 Oh, you don't think you can soft-soak me out of it? 357 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,520 I'm going to cause a lot of trouble, a lot of it. 358 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,520 Nothing you can do to stop me. 359 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,520 If you'll just go on inside, well, I'll talk to you later. 360 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,520 All right, but I'll be watching you. I'll be right here watching you. 361 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520 Well, there's one for you. 362 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,520 Well, let's get on with it. Right. 363 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Think we'll need the mask? 364 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,520 Well, we shouldn't out here. 365 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520 How's it look out front? 366 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,520 It's all right. Glendale and Lamonica are out there. 367 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,520 Yeah. 368 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,520 Whenever you're ready. 369 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,520 I should bring them out. I'll get another one ready. 370 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Better hold it up until it comes, McCready. Right. 371 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Hey, hold it up, Joe. What do you got, Jack? 372 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,520 Just found out. Yeah? 373 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,520 Gray's wife and kids are in there with him. 374 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,520 Sergeant Jack McCready was standing by in the manager's office 375 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,520 when Mrs. Gray had telephoned from the house. 376 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,520 With the possibility that innocent people might be hit, 377 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,520 we were unable to fire into the home. 378 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,520 We met with Captain Warman and Dupont. 379 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,520 We discussed the methods we could use to get the woman and children out of the place. 380 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,520 We worked out a plan. 381 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,520 It would depend entirely on being able to talk to Mrs. Gray 382 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,520 and explain what we were trying to do. 383 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,520 Frank and I went to the manager's place and put in a call to the house. 384 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520 How about it? Just starting to ring. 385 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,520 Figure it'll work? I don't know. 386 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,520 The only way we can make it go is to talk to the woman. 387 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,520 Explain the setup to her. 388 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Did you get in touch with the ops about the doctor? 389 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,520 Yeah. They're sending a psychiatrist out. 390 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,520 You might be able to talk to Gray. I hope so. 391 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Anything? No. 392 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520 Looks like we're in trouble. 393 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,520 Yeah. She won't answer the phone. 394 00:14:50,520 --> 00:15:05,520 You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. 395 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Without being able to talk to the woman, there was little chance that the plan for getting her and the children out of the house would work. 396 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520 1 14 p.m. 397 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,520 A large crowd of people had gathered on the street in front of the court. 398 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,520 Additional policemen from Metro Division had to be called in to control them. 399 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,520 From time to time, Dudley Gray would scream something at the bystanders and fire into the crowd. 400 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,520 So far, we've been able to keep the curious citizens back far enough so that none of them were hurt, 401 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,520 but it was only a matter of time before our luck ran out. 402 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,520 Meanwhile, we were still faced with the problem of first getting the wife and children out of the house 403 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,520 before we could attempt to take the man himself. 404 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520 1 29 p.m. 405 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,520 While Frank and Sergeant Jack McCready went around to the back of the house to ascertain the possibility of removing the family from that side, 406 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,520 I again attempted to talk to Gray. 407 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,520 Gray? Gray? 408 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,520 Come on, Gray, we want to talk to you. 409 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,520 That's why I killed you, Ennion. 410 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Come on, Gray. We're police officers. We're trying to help you if you'll give us the chance. 411 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520 You expect me to believe that? The truth. 412 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520 No, that's what you say. I'll give you something. 413 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,520 What's that? 414 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520 You better get out of here and take your friends with you. 415 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,520 As soon as the cavalry gets here, you're all comfy and troubled. 416 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520 Now, come on, Gray. There isn't any cavalry. You're in Los Angeles. 417 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520 You're sick, Gray. We want to help you if you'll give us the chance. 418 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,520 I don't need nothing from you. 419 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,520 What about your wife and kids? Are you going to have them hurt? 420 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,520 They're all right. Nothing's going to get to them. They're all right. 421 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,520 They aren't going to stay that way with you shooting that gun. 422 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,520 Well, you let me worry about it. They're my family. No concern of yours. They're mine. 423 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,520 And you're going to have them killed, are you? 424 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,520 That's a lie. Why do you think I'm doing all this? It's for them. So they can get out of here. 425 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,520 I want to put the Indians swarming all over the place. It's for them I'm doing this. 426 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,520 It's kind of hard to buy, Gray. 427 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,520 It's hard to see what you're trying to protect them from. 428 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Who do you think you are to tell me that? Don't you think I know what's going on? 429 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,520 All the time sitting in here looking at two people trying to take things away from me. 430 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520 You don't think I know what's going on, huh? 431 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,520 Well, you just save your breath. Save everything. I know what's right. I know it and I'm doing it. 432 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,520 Tell you what, we'll make a deal with you, Gray. 433 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,520 What kind of deal can you make? 434 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,520 Let your wife and kids come out. Let us take care of them. 435 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,520 Give us a chance to prove that we're on your side. 436 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,520 You can't catch me with that one again. You tried once before and it didn't work, remember? You tried once before. 437 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,520 We didn't cause you any trouble. 438 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,520 I don't believe anything you say. 439 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,520 I won't save your breath. All you Indians are tricky. You're not fooling me. 440 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,520 What about all the people out there in the street? 441 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,520 Oh, what about us? 442 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,520 You want to hurt them too? 443 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Be real honest with you. The one you got coming, but I'll be honest. 444 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,520 All right. 445 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,520 I don't much care. They're dumb enough to get caught in the middle of an Indian war. It's their tough luck. 446 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,520 You've come close to shooting a couple of them, you know. 447 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,520 Then tell them to go back to their homes. Leave the biting of the man. 448 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,520 Come on, Gray. Let's get together and talk things over out here. What do you say? 449 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,520 Nothing doing. You get me out of the fort and you try something. I'm not falling for that. 450 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,520 What? And what are you trying to do? 451 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,520 I don't know what you're talking about, Gray. 452 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,520 Don't try that with me. You're trying to break into the back of the plate wall. It won't work. I'll take care of you all. 453 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Joe, Joe, get out of there. 454 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,520 All right. 455 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,520 How about it? 456 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,520 We're getting the gas equipment ready now. 457 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Yeah. We got his family out. 458 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,520 While I'd kept Gray busy in front of the house, Frank and Jack McCready had gone around to the rear. 459 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,520 They'd found the room where Mrs. Gray and the children were hiding. 460 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,520 By breaking a window, they'd been able to remove them from the house. 461 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,520 The children were taken to one of the neighbors and Mrs. Gray was waiting for me in the manager's place. 462 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,520 Outside, the members of homicide detail were making preparations to get Dudley Gray out of the house. 463 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,520 Thank God you got us out of there. I don't know how to tell you. 464 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,520 It's all right now, Mrs. Gray. 465 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,520 The children, where are they? 466 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520 They're next door. Don't worry about it. 467 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,520 What about Dudley? What are you going to do about him? 468 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,520 Well, we're trying to get him to come out of the house. 469 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,520 I'm going to have to shoot him? 470 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Well, that depends on how he wants it. 471 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,520 Oh, he's sick, Sergeant. He doesn't know what he's doing. 472 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,520 Sure, we know it, but your husband's in there taking pot shots at anybody who comes near him. 473 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Only a matter of time before somebody gets so close he can't miss. 474 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,520 Isn't there some way to get him to give up? 475 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,520 You're a policeman. To fit things like this before seems like it'd be your job to get him out without hurting him. 476 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520 Well, we're trying. What caused this to happen? 477 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,520 A lot of things, Sergeant. 478 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Well, Mrs. Gray, if we knew what's wrong with him, it might help. 479 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Could you give us some kind of an angle on him? 480 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,520 I don't know how long it's been built, and maybe a year, maybe longer, it's hard to say. 481 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,520 He's trying to take care of the family, keep it together. 482 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,520 Sometimes you don't see the signs. 483 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,520 Yes, ma'am. 484 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,520 It might be my fault. I guess it is. 485 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,520 Just all of a sudden things got too heavy for him to carry. 486 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,520 He lost his job. We couldn't pay the bills. 487 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,520 God, so I wouldn't answer the phone because I knew it was somebody wanting their money. 488 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520 I'll try to take it easy, ma'am. 489 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,520 He didn't have any way to get the pressure off. 490 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520 No way at all. It finally got him. 491 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,520 All right, go ahead. 492 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,520 You're sure the children are all right? They're being taken care of? 493 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,520 Yes, ma'am, they're fine. 494 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,520 Are they having lunch? I couldn't think of anything they haven't eaten since this morning. 495 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,520 I'm sure they'll be fine. 496 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,520 Alice is kind of picky with her food, needs coaxing to eat. 497 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,520 They'll be all right, Mrs. Gray. Would you go on, please? 498 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,520 Well, it finally broke this morning. 499 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,520 Once it started, there wasn't anything we could do. Marshall came over. 500 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,520 That's the manager? 501 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520 Yes, he came over to ask Dudley if he'd help with the painting. 502 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,520 He mentioned that it'd be a way to pay some of the back rent. 503 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,520 Didn't mean anything. Dudley just took it the wrong way. 504 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,520 What's that? 505 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Marshall told him about the rent. I said it was nice of him to give Dudley the chance to make it up. 506 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,520 I didn't mean anything by it. 507 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,520 No. 508 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Then he got up from the table and went into the living room and turned on the television. 509 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,520 Didn't say a word to me. Just got up and walked out. 510 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Uh-huh. 511 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,520 Sat there watching a picture. One of those cowboy things. Just sat there and watched it. 512 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,520 Yeah. 513 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Kids went in, tried to talk to him, so did I. 514 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Tried to bring him out of it. Didn't even know we were in the room. Just sat there and looked at the picture. 515 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Has your husband ever been under the care of a doctor? 516 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,520 You mean for his mind? 517 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,520 That's right. 518 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,520 No, I was afraid to ask and I should have, but it just seemed that it didn't mean another bill. 519 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520 That was causing all the trouble anyway. 520 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,520 I told you, I was trying to believe that it wasn't anything serious. That it would go away. 521 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Yeah. 522 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520 It would have been better to have the bill. 523 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:24,520 Anyway, he sat there for a while. Then he just got up and walked to the closet, 524 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520 picked up the rifle and told me and the kids to get him to the back bedroom. 525 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Said that they weren't going to take the place. 526 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,520 Did you know what he meant? 527 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,520 No, not at first. I knew there was something wrong, but I didn't know it would be as bad as this. 528 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,520 Is there anybody your husband's particularly fond of? 529 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,520 We've been married for eight years, Sergeant. I guess I could qualify as one. 530 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,520 That isn't what I mean, ma'am. Is there anyone that he'd listen to, a friend, maybe a minister or a priest? 531 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,520 No, any friends he had have gone. They didn't understand his moods. There isn't anybody. 532 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,520 All right, Miss Gray. 533 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,520 Chow, see you, ma'am. 534 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,520 Yeah. Excuse me. 535 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Yes. 536 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,520 Yeah. We ran out of time. 537 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520 Gray just shot a cop. 538 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,520 The officer was not seriously wounded. 539 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,520 He was removed to Georgia Street Receiving Hospital for treatment. 540 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520 People in the adjoining units were evacuated. 541 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,520 The streets were cleared as much as possible and the men were in position to move in. 542 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,520 Frank, Jack McCready, and I were opposite the front door of the house. 543 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,520 From Mrs. Gray, we learned that her husband had several hundred rounds of ammunition for the rifle that he was using. 544 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,520 In addition to this, he had several handguns and ample shells for them. 545 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,520 She told us that the other guns were located in the closet in the rear of the place. 546 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:43,520 It was decided to pour tear gas into the back windows and try to keep Gray away from the other guns. 547 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,520 Frank was armed with a sawed-off shotgun loaded with double-arc buck. 548 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,520 McCready had a.45 caliber machine gun. 549 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,520 The officers were in position and the signal was given. 550 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,520 There go the gas guns. 551 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,520 Yeah. They should be coming out pretty quick. 552 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,520 Hope we can take them without killing them. 553 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,520 We'll try. Gas is starting to come through the front window. 554 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Go in. I quit. 555 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,520 All right, throw the gun out, Gray. Throw the gun out. 556 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,520 I won't do it. 557 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,520 Come on, throw that gun out. 558 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,520 Lay it out. Lay it out. 559 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,520 He's down. 560 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,520 Come on. 561 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,520 He's still got the gun. 562 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,520 Is he dead? 563 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,520 No. He better get an ambulance. 564 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,520 I'll take care of him. 565 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Is he dead? Did he kill him? 566 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,520 No, ma'am. 567 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,520 Oh, don't do this. 568 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520 I should have known. I should have seen. 569 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,520 He's going to be all right, Mrs. Gray. The doctor's on the way. 570 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,520 He didn't know what he was doing. That's all. He didn't know what he was doing. 571 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,520 Yes, ma'am. 572 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,520 He knows we love him. That's all that counts. 573 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,520 We love him and want to take care of him. 574 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,520 He didn't think anybody cared for him. That's what was wrong. He just didn't know. 575 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,520 Yes, ma'am. 576 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,520 Maybe he wouldn't get well. You know everybody wasn't against him. 577 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520 You know people care. Don't you think that's all that's wrong? 578 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520 I wouldn't know, ma'am, but he took the hard way to find out. 579 00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:06,520 The story you have just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. 580 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:14,520 On August 26, the preliminary hearing was held in the prison ward of the County Hospital in and for the county of Los Angeles, state of California. 581 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:26,520 Dudley Peter Gray was held to answer charges of assault with intent to commit murder. 582 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,520 He was examined by three psychiatrists appointed by the court and found to be insane. 583 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,520 He was confined to the state mental hospital at Camarillo for treatment. 584 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:47,520 You have just heard Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action and starring Jack Webb, a presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service.
