Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime.
For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department,
you will travel step by step from the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police violence.
From beginning to end, from crime to punishment,
Dragnet is the story of your police force in action.
It was Tuesday, November 15th, was raining in Los Angeles.
We were off duty reporting in an emergency call.
My partner is Ben Romero.
The boss is in white deputy chief of police, my name is Friday.
It was 8.25 a.m. when I walked into the main street entrance of the city hall.
That was Friday.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, take this over and start building the church.
Right.
Thank you.
I'm going to run you up to 16.
Chief's waiting for you up there.
What's the pitch?
It's only one elevator here in service out of 10.
The place looks deserted. What's going on?
Nobody in the building, Sergeant.
All the office people have been sent home. Lots of trouble.
Somebody declare a holiday?
No joke, Sergeant.
Big trouble.
You convinced me, what is it?
Here we are.
Six years before.
I can't.
All right there, buddy.
Right.
All right, now?
A little bit.
A bit good time.
I came as soon as I got the call.
Sorry, I have to bring you back to any work-class management.
Yeah, midnight to eight this morning.
Sorry, come on.
What is it?
It's given well in the hospital.
Where are we going inside?
In there.
Okay.
Number one, let's keep our voices down.
Okay.
How many of the briefings I can every night counts?
One time you got Friday.
At 8.33.
All right, here it is.
55 minutes ago, a man walked into this building
and a homemade bomb under his arm.
We don't release his brother from the county jail by nine o'clock this morning.
He says he'll pull the trigger on the bomb and blow up the whole building.
He's kidding, Skipper.
Who is that guy?
Man's running carnivore.
He's his package.
His brother had been in and out of jail since 1937.
Small-time food.
The FBI kicked back here.
They had him once before, both of them.
His brother's name was Howard.
It's only a year for car stripping.
And this two-bit thief is sitting here in the city hall with a bomb on his leg?
That's right.
How much room?
What kind of a bomb is it?
Len, you think he's bluffing?
It could be bluffing.
The crime web says no.
I need Jones from the lab.
Get a look at it.
It's been in here twice.
One of the boxes glass says he can't see much without a closer look.
But you can't get near the guy.
All right. What do you want us to do?
It's a volunteer job.
I can tell you're going to leave it.
I won't order you to do it.
How do you want to have him?
Are you sure you want a piece of this room now?
No, no. He doesn't. He's got a family.
Can you get me another single man? We'll give it a try.
Wait a minute. Joe, what makes his jumps a different?
Every time we kick in a door, we never know what's on the design.
That's what makes it different. This time we do.
No, you're not going to cut me out.
Not the only time I know what I'm getting into.
All right.
Chandler's tried. Pan on Davis Watts.
And I've all tried.
Whose guy Karnie knows of his turn. He's no pushover.
But somebody's got to get that bomb away from it.
Joe, baby now.
I looked at my watch. It was 836.
We left Chief White and started down the hall.
If Karnie was going to make good his threat to blow up the building by 9 o'clock,
we had exactly 24 minutes to talk about him.
Better than I figured we'd better look him over first, then we've got some kind of a plan.
Maybe just talking to him would do it.
Karnie was sitting in a straight back chair against the firewall facing the door.
It was seated between two windows that looked out over the city.
In the center of the right wall, it was a connecting door leading to the office
where Chief White had braced us.
The door was locked on both sides.
Just off the center and favoring the left of the room was a small filing table.
It was a dictaphone on it.
In the near left corner, she would buy a white screen with a small wash basin.
Vernon Karnie sat a wreck holding a black box on his lap.
He held his right hand inside one end of the box.
Better than I walked into the room.
What do you say to a man with a bomb?
That's close enough.
So you're at Karnie?
I'm not smoking right now.
What are you trying to prove?
You know what I want.
We're not going to let you brother out of jail.
You've gotten to nine o'clock to change your mind.
Or in that clock up there in the yard, you've got twenty-four minutes.
We go, you're going with this Karnie.
Don't take much of a brain to figure that one out, Copper.
What made you think you could get away with it?
I haven't yet, at eight nine o'clock.
I must say, clock's low.
I haven't checked it against my pocket watch lately,
and that's the one that's running this show.
You're giving any thought to all the innocent people that are going to go up with that thing of yours?
My brother's innocent, I want him out of jail.
Of course, as he's guilty, he'll get out when he serves his time.
That's where you're wrong, Copper.
He gets out at nine o'clock this morning.
All right, come on, Karnie.
Get your hand out of that box, put the box on the table.
I think I'm bluffing, don't you?
I'm going to let you get within five feet of me before I make a lie out of you.
All right, Karnie.
I guess you mean business.
You can take three more steps and find out for sure.
Suppose we did let your brother out.
We'd just come out and pick him up again, you along with him.
Yes, you could find us.
Let's get this straight.
If we let your brother elbow it out, how do we know you'll keep your promise?
What promise? I haven't made any promises.
You just get all word down here first, then we'll talk about it.
Look, there's just one thing I can't figure, Karnie.
Oh, it's that.
If we don't let your brother out, you say you'll pull the trigger on that bomb.
What are you going to prove by that?
Hey, 37.
You got 23 minutes left?
No, I wish you'd answer that one for me.
Why do you want to kill a lot of innocent people?
Don't try to con me, Copper.
I know they cleared everybody out of this building, 45 minutes ago.
I know they cleaned out the whole block, they got it roped off.
What would you get your information?
I got a couple of windows here to look out of.
What you think is about time you sent somebody over to get out with?
What's the stop bus from leaving the building along with the other few officers
and let you stay here and touch your fat bomb?
Go ahead.
Won't be a long wait without you.
Oh, you're trying to kid.
You'd let me blow up $10 million with a tax pay as money?
No, you're going to let out without.
You'll wheel the last minute to do it.
But you won't let him out.
All right, let's go.
I'm still not convinced that Colonel can back up what he says.
I wanted to take the box away from him.
Yeah.
We're in a spot.
Let's face it.
How about I just getting him first?
How are you going to handle it?
I'm not a cop man on the pistol range, but I can wing him.
Any hands of the box to you?
Maybe it falls and his reflex action pulls the trigger.
Okay, I don't wing him.
I'll stop him for a key.
He just can't walk in and shoot him down.
Why not you do the same thing with any arm cramp?
Yeah, but you warned him first.
Oh, warning.
And after you shoot him, you find out it's a harmless gadget.
Couldn't have gone off in a million years.
Our gun's not the answer.
We can't shoot him till we're positive.
We'll be positive, but now in the clock.
But then there might not be anybody around us, you.
We've looked at a Connie's apartment.
There's a detail out there checking it now.
But Chelly and Morris.
Have you got any ideas at all?
Anything we could try?
That's why I called you in.
None of us have gotten any further than you did just now.
But it's just one thing I want to know for sure.
Yeah, Friday.
Is it or isn't it?
We all want to know.
Either way, we've got to get that box away from him.
Can I get it?
White speaking.
Yeah, did.
I'll stay out there, I'll call you.
I just put Chelly there.
I just found 28 sticks of當然 and white and carnies apartment.
You are listening to Dragnits.
The case history of a police and police system.
There's a good thing about that.
We do have to do something.
We have to do nothing, but do not do it.
We do have to do a lot.
Sometimes we'll see that the singing of it.
There's no way we can say it.
We just have to do something.
Then we'll just do something.
I've got to see you.
I've got to see you.
I've got to see you.
You may go out to the office.
The case history of a police investigation presented in the public interest by Fatima cigarettes.
If you smoke a long cigarette, it will be in your interest to listen to a typical case history of a Fatima smoker recorded last week in New York.
Hi there. My name is Bab Beckwith. Bab. That's short for Bethany and Beckwith.
I live in New York City and I'm a fashion stylist. The other day it is showing of the new fall styles. I ran out of cigarettes.
A friend of mine, a designer, introduced me to the new long Fatima.
I really wish someone had told me about them sooner. Fatima is a lot milder than the cigarettes I've been smoking.
And they have a delightful flavor too. I'm very glad to recommend them to you.
Because I know from experience it's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
And more and more smokers every day are finding that out. Actual figures show extra mild Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast.
So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. The king-sized cigarette which contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild.
You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better flavor. You will agree.
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
The best of all, long cigarettes.
We knew now Karne wasn't kidding. We could see into the bomb through the glass window in one end.
There was dynamite inside and there was dynamite in Karne's room. We didn't know if he had the nerve to pull the trigger.
We didn't know if it would go off when he did, but with only minutes remaining nobody wanted to take the chance.
From here on in all of us agreed that Karne sat in the next room holding in his two hands a force powerful enough to destroy us all.
I looked at my watch. It was 20 minutes till nine. How do we get it away from him?
I got an idea. It might work.
Well Karne sitting against the fire will all between two windows and they're both open.
And try. If we could get a man through one of those windows we might get Karne from behind.
How are you going to get him?
Whoever gets through the window could slug him. What do you do then?
Somebody grabs the box. The crime lab can tell us what to do with it then.
How do we get a man through one of those windows we're on the 16th floor?
There's some kind of a ledge that runs around the building on each story isn't it?
Why'd enough for a man to welcome?
Let's start your looking for him.
That was pretty narrow, Joe.
Good 18 inches, couldn't be done.
It's too risky. It's been raining out there by the slipper.
It's strong wind out there, Joe. Turn the man right off the building.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
There's still a way. How about a letter?
16 floor skipping.
There might be a way. The fire department would know that. I'll get battalion chief Erickson.
There's Lee Jones in the building.
Now he's over the crime lab. I'll get him up here too.
I don't know Friday. Maybe it'll work.
It's got to him.
All right, no look. It's going to take a couple of minutes to set this up.
We've got to know what Karne is doing every second of that time.
How about the dictophone on the table in there?
Good. Get it on without him seeing you.
We'll try.
Karne and I are connected to this one in there.
This room is 16-14. You got that?
Yeah.
All right, push down key 16-14 on that machine in there.
And leave it down.
Get the receiver off the hook and leave it off.
Leave the receiver out.
That's right. You know if it isn't off the hook, we won't be able to hear a thing in there.
Right, come on then.
Oh.
Wind wise picking.
Let me check first.
Thank my brother.
Still on this shelf.
You've got his alarm and talk.
It's short on time.
Yeah, we know.
I'm telling you, if you're on good, you better get over it over here.
Karne, how bad if we get your brother on the phone here?
He'll tell you that he doesn't want any quite of this.
You mean I would just want to get out since when?
Sure he wants out, but not your way.
He's only got a year to serve. Why don't you leave him alone?
I told you. I told him. I'd get him out.
He didn't think I could do it, but I'm done it.
I'll make you a bet, Karne.
You'll let us get your brother on the phone.
He won't walk out of here with you.
Get him on the phone.
All right.
Where are you going?
Phone's over here.
Half the years of the Dictifone, I've got to get an okay from the chief.
Hell would still appreciate it.
What's the matter with the phone?
No operators. You know the building's been cleared.
That's right. I almost forgot.
Okay, you can use the Dictifone.
It's Friday, chief. Karne wants to talk to his brother.
I know you'll have to send somebody over.
Have him put the call on the extension. Wait a minute.
What's that extension number there?
2351.
2351, Lynne. Right?
Take a minute.
All right.
I kind of like Dr. L.
And a couple of months since I've seen him.
He's always been together with me, almost at the time.
Joe, let's go in and see if we can't hurry that call.
It's good idea, boy. It's 16 minutes to 9.
Hey, stop!
Yeah.
Got to hang up the Dictifone, didn't you?
I put the receiver back on the Dictifone.
Men and I had failed to make good on the first step of the plan.
When we got outside the door, we briefed Davis and Watson.
They went in to sit with Karne.
It would be their job to keep us posted on Karne's movements.
The Dictifone was out.
We went back into the office next door.
Chief Sam Erickson of the Fire Department and Lieutenant Lee Jones
from the Crime Lab were already there.
Well, there'd been a help.
We haven't got time to cry over it.
Karne's wide awake, so he doesn't miss his thing.
White told us the plan Friday.
We can't run a ladder up from the straightened.
Too high, aren't you?
The best we've got is a hundred foot aerial.
You figure 12 foot to the story.
I'll take you at 96 feet.
Take floors.
We got the latest equipment.
What's that idea you had, Jones?
Sam, can you get a hold of a pump here in the hurry?
Sure, we got a lot of scaling ladders,
but you got nothing out there to hook them on.
You figure on dropping down from the floor above?
That's right, and I figure a pump here would do it.
Sure it would.
You could make it fast to the wind to sell up there,
but you've got a foot and a half leg in the way.
No, but you want a lifeline.
You made an aura man on a rope key?
Yeah, I remember.
That's the quickest and the quietest.
Could you rig it so one of my boys could do it?
Sure, then.
What's the risk?
None if you work it right.
We'll strap on a life belt,
give the man heavy leather gloves.
Do it my manal aura him down.
Pick your lightest man.
What do you think, Lee?
That's it.
What do we do with the bomb when we get it?
I figure that box, Johnny's,
holding is about a foot square.
Here's what I'll do.
I'll get you a bucket with a foot and a half mouth,
and we'll be full of water.
I'll have it right outside the door of that office.
When you get that box, place it in the water.
We'll get the bucket out of the building as fast as we can.
And once we get the bomb under water,
we're in a clear hand.
You can't promise you that,
but it's the safest way to handle it under the circumstances.
All right, that's it.
So, am you take care of your aunt?
Right away.
I'll get a detail to give me a hand down the street,
and we'll take the bomb to Safe Area and decommission it.
Let's move on it.
All right, then.
Which part do you want the rope for the bomb?
You call it.
Fire Chief Erickson said the lightest man on the rope.
And it's me, June.
All right, I'll get the bomb out of the building.
Okay, that's the routine.
We carry this with you.
The man that comes down that rope has one chance to make good.
Slug him and make it count. There's no second try.
Yeah.
And Joe, when you grab that box,
you've got to get it away from Connie before he can squeeze the trigger.
Then you've got to get it down the street.
Me all over here.
You know how to operate it?
Well, that's pretty simple,
but I'll double check with the operator.
You're going to do it right now.
Okay. Say we better get Connie's brother on the phone for me.
She makes us.
It might be a pretty good idea.
All right, Romaro, that's the outside phone.
Get the city jail.
All right, together.
Good, go on Friday.
All right.
Hey, you.
Elevator, man.
Yes, sir.
I want to see if I know how to work this thing in yours.
Are you taking all of the elevator?
In a couple of minutes, you want to check me out?
Nothing to it, Sergeant.
Here's the control.
You push this lever right to go up, left to the down.
You see this little trigger on the underside of the handle?
Yeah.
That's a safety lock.
Be sure you squeeze if you can't move the lever.
I'm sorry, if I try it.
Okay, where do I turn off the master's?
All right.
That's it.
Right to go up, left to the down.
All right, now how do you operate the doors?
Automatic.
They work off the control lever.
When the control lever is locked, the upper down position
the doors will close.
I got it.
And in case they jam this red emergency button?
Yeah.
Yeah, push it.
If that doesn't close, then we call it repairman.
Yeah, I think I got it.
You want to turn the switch back on.
All right.
You sure, all right?
Have Mars do you have the building?
I'll just leave the elevator right here and take the stairs down.
All right.
Thanks a lot.
Sergeant?
Just curious.
Are you going to take the bomb down this car?
We're going to try.
You won't have any trouble.
We haven't had an elevator failure in 18 months.
The elevator man turned and went down the stairs.
I started down the corridor and met Ben outside the office.
He told me that Lee Jones and Chief Erickson
were on their way up in the freight elevator
at the rear of the building with a necessary equipment.
The two fire department volunteers were with him.
The phone call had been put through the city jail
in a minute.
Elwood Cunning would be ready at the other end of the line.
We went in to tell Cunning.
I told him over to jail to put the calls through
on extension 2351.
Points is coming through.
Right now.
You got Elwood with you?
No.
We told you we'd get him on the phone for you.
Call him if you want a minute.
A minute's a long time.
You got 12 of them left.
Elwood's going to talk you out of this.
Oh, sure.
Everybody's going to talk me out of this.
First of all, there were two cops,
the little porky guy out of the monkey.
And you and this Dixie Doehead here.
Now, tell her what.
Now, come off it.
Will you get my brother over?
Let's get him out.
The brother Cunning, I guess.
They put you...
It's just going to get the phone.
You want to talk to your brother, don't you?
I'll take care of the fire.
We'll just disconnect it.
Where are you?
I said they straight, copper.
I'm throwing the stinkin' rotten lion.
I went a little one here and I want him now.
I'll bring him here before I blow you up.
Before I blow you all up, Jesus.
Who threw that bone out my mouth?
I did.
You want me to go out there and take it up?
That's not going to get you anywhere.
Are you the big boss around here?
I know, right?
I answered you.
All right, big boy, I got a piece of advice for you.
You take your rookie cops here and get it through there.
Stick heads, I mean what I say.
I want my brother over here in this room.
And you got just 11 minutes to get it done.
Now you tell him that, will you?
All right, Connie.
It's your show.
All right, we've got to work fast now.
Tell him everything's up for you.
Get the bucket with the water right here.
Cause waiting down the street.
All right, now it's in your boys' room.
Upstairs, waiting.
We don't know what to do.
I'll need somebody to give me a hand with Connie when he falls.
I'll be on there with you, Friday.
Ready to go upstairs, she?
Anytime.
One thing you ought to know.
What's that?
Wind's getting stronger by 20 mile an hour out there right now.
Not going to loss us on?
No, it was going to increase the sway.
You've got to allow for it.
How do you mean?
Wind's coming from the south.
We'll allow you just to the right of the wind.
If I figure right, the wind will do the rest.
Bigger rest, but we don't control the weather.
How are you going to do it, Ben?
Soon as I get in position, I'll reach in through the window on his right
and I'll use the billy.
Try to catch him on the right side of the head.
One good hitch and put him away.
Make it two and be sure.
All right, ready, chief?
Let's go.
What's the time, Friday?
8.15.
It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes for a mariner
to get down to that window unless the wind gives him trouble.
Chance, there's no issue sticking around.
I'll get Friday, hang.
That's my job.
We've got to keep you alive to decommission the bomb.
Boom, choke.
See you downstairs.
You ready, Lynn?
Yeah.
It's scared, Friday.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Might just even.
Come on.
Lynn White and I went into the next room with Vernon Carney.
Ben was going to make a try from the window on Carney's right.
Somehow he had to keep his attention on us and away from that window.
If anything went wrong, and Carney got out of position, the planet failed.
It's Chief Ericsson didn't estimate the force of the wind correctly.
The planet failed.
I looked at my walks.
It was eight minutes tonight.
Carney, anything we can say that'll make you change your mind.
I've asked you a hundred times.
Now I'm ordering you.
You're going to get to a phone and have somebody send Edward over here right now.
I'm through waiting.
Now move.
You ripped the phone out.
Well, I'm fine another one.
I told you I'm sick.
You're too bit stalled.
We've got until 9 o'clock to make up our mind about this.
You had.
Until 9.
You wouldn't do what I told you now.
I'm cutting you short.
You guys got exactly one minute to get a phone in this room right in here.
You'll call a jail and have him send Edward over.
I've said 9.
All right, Joe.
We'll give him what he wants.
David, son, I can connect and go in this office.
I'll get this phone over.
McCoy, breach.
Come in.
Yeah.
Your brother's a prisoner.
It's another custody and he's under our protection.
We can't place his life in jeopardy.
Leave that up to now.
Okay, buddy.
It was a little light.
You went out with Colonel over here at City Hall.
His brother wants to see him.
Explain the situation.
If he wants to come get him over here.
Leave it up to him.
Room 1614, you'll have to use the freight elevator.
And tell him to hurry.
Yeah.
Tell him to hurry.
Oh, that's the only smart thing you've done today.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next year.
I wanted to go next ...
You're not going to figure out another angle.
We'll wait forL would, too.
You don't think I'll let you get out, Doctor.
You're wrong.
We're going to wait right here for my brother.
In case you don't show up,
you're going to see me pull the plug.
Sit down.
That's our!!
Close right now.-
Sit down.-
renovated...
Windage, get the code in.
Maybe I had a closer window.
Turn on the heat.
Stay for it, cop.
What's that?
What's going on?
Get the wind, cop.
Get somebody out there and see his feet.
There's stupid cops.
Pull him up.
Get back there.
Pull him up.
Tell him to pull him up.
Pull him up.
Pull him up.
Pull him up.
Pull him up.
You'll bet I win your dumb cop.
You didn't get Mr. Trit like that.
Now we're just closer windows, boys.
One.
And last.
Here's your brother, Connie.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I did it.
I told you.
I told you.
I told you.
Let's find out for the rest of you.
Yeah, you can run over here.
That's what they've been trying to tell me.
We're going home now.
How are you going to do it?
There's a million cops outside.
People all over town heard about this.
They're holding the car.
They ain't going to stop us now.
You'll never make it either one of you.
I got him this far.
And I will make it.
Where do you think we could do it?
You owe them.
Yeah.
You're going to get a car ready for us.
A fast one.
Have it informed them of the building.
Move.
All right, Friday.
Do what he tells you.
Right.
Hold it.
Yeah.
I've been down a clock the deal still holds.
I told him I pulled a pen at night, and I candidate him, let you what?
Me and car driver.
I guess you really blow four miles high.
Then what will it let you pull it who we're getting out?
All right, copper.
Get the car.
You've got four minutes.
Hey, Ben.
Ben.
Who?
What happened?
Yes.
No time to explain.
Now listen, we gotta work fans.
How much time will go? Less than four minutes.
How about the ledge?
Think you can do it?
Strong wind, you'll let the hang on like a fly.
I don't know, I can give it a try.
Okay, same plan, every second counts.
No, I can't breathe Lynn, he's in the room with a guy.
It's up to you and me.
I'll get on the ledge from one of these offices.
How old will Maggie?
If you don't, we'll know you're trying to hurry.
You better wait a minute.
Yeah.
I forgot.
The window is the one on his right.
He locked it.
You'll have to crawl around on the one on the left.
You got it? Right.
Carl, we're ready in two minutes, uh, front.
Why?
Hell and I just sit here and wait.
It's going to be good being back together now.
We always worry a good together, right?
Oh, that's the way.
But there's not a good together all the time.
It's very nice to put it with a gun.
We don't need no gun.
We got the bomb.
We need a gun when we get out.
When we get out of the road.
Okay, take your pick.
I don't got him.
Yo, give him yours.
I'm not carrying a gun.
I left it in the other room.
A cop without a gun?
Who's getting food?
I left it in the other room.
First, the big boy.
He's got more.
It's about time for that car in it.
It's too much to know.
Yeah.
This is it.
I got it right in his hips.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
Get the box.
Did that go alone?
I got it, Ben.
I can't get this hand out of it.
Run through it.
No one will run.
In a fast elevator, 16 floors isn't very much.
But I never shared an elevator with a live bomb.
It seemed like hours between floors.
I kept watching the bucket.
The bomb was completely underwater.
A small stream of bubbles was hissing to the surface.
I waited.
Main floor.
I picked up the bucket and ran for the street.
I missed the first step.
I fell forward.
The bucket spun out of my hand.
I sprawled flat on the sidewalk.
I waited for the explosion.
It didn't go off, Heidi.
Yeah.
I gave it a good chance, Lee.
It was all there.
All right.
Lisa doesn't sticks her dynamite.
It's neither. Bring it over here.
Here you are, Lieutenant.
Thank you.
Here's why it didn't go off.
Yeah.
Had it rigged for a hard trigger pulled.
It would have taken a good yank to set this one off.
All right, Jill.
Hi, Ben.
It's clumsy.
