Sound off for Chesterfield.
Chesterfield, the only cigarette in America to give you premium quality in both regular and
king size brings you drag men.
Ladies and gentlemen, the story you were about to hear is true. The names have been changed to
protect the innocent.
You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned in narcotics detail. A steady flow of heroin has
been making its way into your city. Most of it is fallen into the hands of teenagers.
You don't know the source or the head man of the operation. Your job, stop it.
The modern way to sell cigarettes is the Chesterfield way. Premium quality in both regular and
king size, and we're the only one that gives it to you. Premium quality in a cigarette means
the world's best tobaccos, the best ingredients, the best cigarette paper.
Only Chesterfield gives you this premium quality in both popular sizes.
King size Chesterfield contains tobaccos of better quality and higher price than any other king size
cigarette. That's certainly important to every king size smoker. Of course, it's the same fine
tobacco as in regular Chesterfield. There is absolutely no difference except that king size Chesterfield
gives you more than a fifth longer smoke. Yes, the modern way to sell cigarettes is the Chesterfield
way. Premium quality, both regular and king size. Chesterfield is much milder. Chesterfield
is best for you.
Tragment, the documented drama of an actual crime. While the next 30 minutes in cooperation with
the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through
an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment,
dragnet is the story of your police force in action.
It was Tuesday, April 6th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out on
narcotics detail. My partner's Frank Smith, the boss is Captain Kerney. My name's Friday.
I just got an awful work and I've gotten the call from a friend who wanted to see me. It was
5.46 p.m. when I got to my apartment house, apartment 12.
Hi, Joe. Oh, Ed. I'm just getting ready to go in. Come on there, I've got you.
Go ahead. Thanks. Sit down. You got a date or something? No, no, it's all right. I just thought I
get something to eat and then maybe take him to show. What do you want to see me about?
It's about Gary, Joe. Your boy? Yeah, I don't know quite how to say it.
You know, when you sounded pretty upset on the phone, Ed. I was. Joe, I still am. I don't know
what I'm going to do. Well, come on, what's it all about? Is all I could do to keep my hands off of
and never felt like that with anybody before, but I did with Gary. I wanted to strangling.
All right, now what's he done, Ed? He's a dope addict, Joe.
Well, it's a pretty serious thing to say, Ed. Are you sure about that? I am now. First, I couldn't
believe it, but tonight, Ellen, I went to his room. I found this.
Here. Open it. See? Looks like a layout. I couldn't find any drugs in it. I know that he's
using them though. Spoon, eye dropper, needle. Everything's here. What'd you find,
this Ed? In his room. Had it hidden up on the shelf in his closet, I found it tonight.
I didn't know what to do, Joe. Ellen's been crying all day. She's almost out of her mind.
You were the only one I could think of coming to. Who do you talk to when you find out
your son's an addict? Well, no, you sure this is his in the first place that he's been using it?
I'm sure. I never would have believed it, not Gary. No reason for it. We've given the kid
everything he wanted, if nothing didn't have. Good home, Helen, I've always tried to understand
his problems. Always looked at them like they were important. Everything. We gave him everything.
Now this, I don't know what to do, Joe. I got no place to turn as nothing I can do.
Maybe you can figure it out. Maybe you can't. I don't much care anymore. I just know that I
can't see him again, not for a while. I'm afraid, Joe. I'm real afraid. All right, now let's take
it easy. We'll work this out, certainly. You don't know what it's like, Joe. You can't do,
to feel like this and to know you'll do it. I see him again, Joe. I'm going to kill him.
I had no one had field for the past seven years. I'd met him when we were conducting an
investigation while I was assigned a Bunko division. His testimony had been instrumental in breaking
up a gang of shoplifters. Since then, we've become very good friends. He lived just down the street
from my apartment, and on occasion we got together for an evening. I know his wife and I'd met his 18-year-old
son, Gary. The boy was a senior in high school, and as Ed had told me many times, his graves were
well above average. The field family was moderately well to do. Their home wasn't luxurious, but it was
good-sized. To look at the boy, there was nothing that would cause anybody to think that he might be
a user. 6'12 p.m. Field and I arrived at his home. Helen Field was waiting for us. She was a
nice looking woman in her early 40s. She let us in the house and showed us to the living room. It was
obvious that she'd been crying. I don't know how to thank you for coming over, Joe. I guess Ed
told you what it's all about. Yes, Helen. Gary, home yet? No, I haven't heard a word from him since
he left. I didn't tell Joe what happened this afternoon. Thought it'd be better if he got it from you.
All right. You want to sit down, Joe? Sure. I'll tell you. Thank you.
Well, Gary came home this afternoon about 2'30, walked into the house and went right to his room. He
didn't say a thing to me. First, I thought that maybe he might be sick. I went to the room and he'd
locked the door. I knocked. I asked him if he was all right. He called through the door that he
was okay and for me to leave him alone. I asked him if there was anything I could do. You know,
if he was sick, he might need something. What do you say? Tell me to get away. To leave him
alone and get off his back. Those were his exact words. Leave him alone and get off his back.
About 20 minutes later, he unlocked the door and came out. He seemed to feel fine. He came over
and kissed me and said he was sorry about what he'd said. He said that he hadn't been feeling well
and that he'd said those things without meaning him. I told him the auto wait until I could take
his temperature. He said there was nothing wrong for me to get out of his way, that he had some
business to take care of and be home for dinner. I tried to stop him from leaving and he pushed me
aside. You knocked me down. Get my hands on him. I'll teach you. He stood there for a minute and I
thought he was going to cry. But he just turned around and walked up. Well, you had any idea where he
might have gone? What this business was? No, not the slightest idea. You can see where we're
up against you. I'm afraid to even see the boy. You know, the one you first figure that he might
be using in robotics. When I came home, Helen told me what had happened. I thought about what would
make the kid do a thing like this. The more I thought about it, the more they had to be only one
reason. That's when Helen and I went through his room found that kid. His boy had been held all
lately under a doctor's care, something that you might not know about. No, no. I'm sure that if he
was, we'd know about it. I want to see you, Gary. I'll be right with you. I want to see you right now.
Well, have to wait. Maybe there's something wrong with your ears, son. I'm not going to take that
from you. I don't do something. You're going to regret. Now listen, Helen, that boy's 18 years old.
For all that time, we've done everything we could for him. We've given him a lot more than most
boys' age have. I'm not going to stand by and see it all blow up just because he's a kid. That's
no excuse. I want an answer for all this. What he's been doing? What happened this afternoon? I want
those answers and I want them now. Remember, he's only a boy. And I'm getting sick of that, too.
Where is it? Now listen, boy, I know what's been going on. I want to talk to you about it.
I don't want you to lecture me. I don't want to know where's the kid. Take it easy, son.
What are you doing here? I asked him to come open.
And turn me in, huh? Your dad asked me to come over to see if I get help here.
I don't need nothing from you, come. I want the layout. Where is it?
You aren't going to use that anymore. I want the layout. I've got to have it. Where is it?
Please, Gary. Don't get your father any more mad than he is.
Okay, how sorry is it? How sorry it gets? I want the layout. I want it now.
I can't think of any more simple way to say it. If I have to take it away from you, then I'll do it
your way. You lousy bum will teach you to talk to me.
Gary, this isn't going to get anywhere now. Come on, settle down, both of you.
Get out of here. Get him out of here.
Would you like to swear I'll break him into a...
See you there, nothing shall do, son.
Let him go, let him go. That time he found out I'm old enough to call things my way.
Go on, let him go. I'm not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of you either, cop.
I'm not worried about anybody.
All I want is that kid, and I've got to have it. I've got it. I'll give it to me and we can talk
then. I've got to have a fix. I've got it.
John, you know something, please.
All right, come on, sit down. Sit down, boy.
There's gone far enough here.
Let's get a few things straight. You're not going to have any more of that.
We'll see that a doctor looks at you and do what he can if you've had it.
The more narcotics for you and I'll face it.
When you want me to tell you where you stand, you're a user.
I mean, where you slice it, this had to happen.
I don't want anything from you. Why don't you just leave me a little...
I can't do that. Let me see your arm.
Come on, roll up your sleeve. Do what he says, Gary.
Yeah. Both arms, huh?
I'd take a joy, Pop, once in a while.
I don't con me, Gary. You got it bad, and it's going to get worse.
You didn't get that arm from Chippien with the stuff. The kid we found.
You don't need to lay out that big to joy, Pop.
You've been meanlining it for quite a while. I know it, and so do you.
You're holding now?
Come on, boy. Answer me. You're holding now?
Yeah.
Well, let's have it.
I'm not going to give it to you. You've got no choice, son.
You give it to me or I'll take it.
All right, here's it.
How big a half it's you, guys?
Not big. How big?
A couple of bucks.
Come on, boy. Let's have a straight answer.
25 a day?
$25 a day. It's a lot of narcotics, isn't it?
It's what it takes.
Where's it come from?
Come on. Where's your connection?
You maybe got me, but I'm not going to be a fake.
You got to let me go at that.
I can't do that. Now, where'd you get this stuff?
How about that doctor? You're going to do something about that?
We'll talk to him.
You're talking to him. I ain't going to do any good.
I got to have a fix. I'm going to fall apart.
Come on, I'll be a pal. Let me have a fix.
I'll tell you all about it, son. You got the kid.
You got this stuff. Come on, be a sport.
No, go. You can't do it.
Come on, let's go downtown.
You're going to take him to Jio, Joe.
I'll take him down to Georgia's pre-receiving hospital.
Doctor, go look at him there.
We're going to have to hold him for a while, Miss Feeham.
Why'd you do it, Gary?
Why? Can't you tell me?
Is it something your father and I've done?
There's got to be a reason. Why is it?
All please, Gary. Tell me.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Can we see Matthew get there, Joe?
Yeah, I'll call the ad.
Don't you want to say goodbye to your mother soon?
Why, I wouldn't prove anything.
Yeah, I guess that's the way you'd look at it.
I broke the law, now they're going to make a convent down to me.
I didn't call him, you did.
How are you going to explain that to her?
Now, you're turning your own son in.
How are you going to tell her about it?
I hope you're real happy now.
I'm not proud of it, son.
That's one thing I'd like to ask you.
Yeah, what have you done to her?
8.30 pm.
I call Frank Smith and filled him in on what had happened.
He said that he'd meet me at George Street receiving hospital.
I took young Gary Field down with me and had a doctor check him over.
After that, the boy was taken to the narcotics division and Frank and I talked to him.
I don't know how to tell you any better,
isn't any of the way to say it.
I'm not going to give you any names.
That's not going to help you any, son.
So won't help me.
Won't get any of my friends in trouble.
You've got great friends, haven't you?
Now, what'd you get the money to take care of your habit?
I earned.
Where?
I worked.
Where'd you work?
Look, it's getting late.
That's stuff the doctor gave me didn't do any good.
I still need a fix.
Now, I'm getting sick.
Do what you got to do.
Let's get this over.
Look, this is going to be the same in the morning, son.
We're going to keep asking questions to you come up with the right answers.
Look, cop, I don't want any favors from you.
Now, leave me alone.
We're only trying to help you, boy.
Oh, get off my side.
Now, I need nothing from you.
You saw your duty and you did it.
That makes you a big man, huh?
I know you both make Lieutenant.
Now, beat it right.
All right, that's enough of that.
Now, there's a couple of things we'd like to set just straight on.
Maybe help you to figure out where you're standing this.
Oh, here it comes.
Well, they do.
Give you a license to preach when they hand you the badge.
That's enough of that, youngster.
Come on, get off my back, cop.
If my old man hadn't turned thick, you'd never have got me.
Where you going?
Get out of here.
Now, sit down.
Sit down.
All right, young fella, you want to be a big man?
That's the way it's going to be.
I'm going to tell you that you get no special treatment here because I know your parents.
You'll be treated just like any other user.
You're getting a little of the edge because you're a youngster.
There's not a pound of honesty or integrity in your distorted mind.
The simple way it'd be to drop you in a cell and let you sweat out the cure,
or let you fall apart if you had to.
Let me tell you this.
We're going to get the connection that's been supplying you.
Then we're going to get the man behind him.
I don't much care about them, but I do care about the kids around you.
You've got a big habit.
Takes a lot of money to keep up a habit like that.
I've seen kids like you before, and there's only so many ways to get that money.
You steal it or you start pushing narcotics yourself.
I don't think you're stealing, so you've got to be pushing it.
That means you've probably got other kids hooked on it.
Other youngsters have got trouble because of you.
Mules that are dragging your wagon for you.
Your folks will maybe forgive you for what you've done to them,
but they'll never be able to buy what you did to the other kids.
You had a chance to help yourself and help the rest of them.
You had a chance to do something good for somebody else,
and you wouldn't take it while you're playing at Smart Big Boy.
Keep playing at that way when you end up in a jail cell, will you?
You threw cop?
Yeah, I'm through.
Fine, then we get some sleep, huh?
Let's go, Frank.
You are listening to Dragmet, the authentic story of your police force in action.
Friends, you'll remember some months ago we read you our first report.
The six months report on the effects of smoking.
Then more recently we read you the eight months report.
Now here is the latest one.
The full ten months report confirms again.
The group examined showed no adverse effects on the nose, throat, and sinuses from smoking
Chesterfields.
This from a medical specialist who is making regular,
by monthly examinations of a group of people from various walks of life.
Forty-five percent of them have smoked Chesterfield for an average of over ten years.
After ten full months, the specialist reports he observed no adverse effects on the nose,
throat, and sinuses of the group from smoking Chesterfield.
That's the report.
Buy much milder Chesterfield, regular or king-size.
The cigarette that's best for you.
Gary Field was taken to the main jail and booked.
Frank and I went back to the office to fill out the arrest reports.
The next day, Wednesday, April 7th, we began to talk to Gary's friends and teachers.
From all of them we got the same story.
Until six months before, the boy had been a model student.
He was always at the top scholastically in each of his classes.
He was a member of several honorary student organizations and had twice been nominated for
president of his class.
Then, apparently, without reason, the boy's personality had changed.
He stopped taking an interest in his schoolwork.
Several of his teachers told us that he wouldn't have gotten passing grades at the end of the semester.
He dropped out of the service organizations at school.
From some of his teachers, we got the names of his close friends.
Talks with them, netted us little.
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.
They told us that they didn't see much of him after school.
That he'd gotten into fights with other students on several occasions.
And that after a period of time, they'd stopped asking him to their functions.
None of them were able to give us the names of his new friends.
We checked with the neighborhood merchants.
Most of them knew Gary.
They said that he'd worked for them after school, but they hadn't seen him for several months.
We asked them if they could help us locate his friends.
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.
We got a description of the man, but it meant nothing to us or to the other members of the narcotics division.
Photographs of known narcotics suspects were shown to the parents of Gary Field
and to the storekeepers around the school.
They couldn't identify any of them.
Two days passed, Friday, April 8th.
We got a call from the field boy, Frank, and I went over to see him.
What do you want to see us about, Gary?
I wanted to tell you that I've had it.
What's that mean?
I don't want to tell you about it.
It's a matter.
You've been sick?
A little.
It's not what I call you.
They treated me all right here, but I got to think it.
All right, go ahead.
I used to read in the papers where the kids had turned themselves in and get caught and caught out.
All about how they realized what they'd done.
Always seemed like a lot of phony, sob sister stuff.
I know different.
Now, I know what I've done.
I know I've got to stand for it.
I'm not asking any favors because I know that I've done nothing to call for.
I'm not trying to be a hero or a martyr.
I just want to help get the thing cleaned up.
One thing I'd like to know, Gary.
What's that?
I'll make you get started on the stuff.
You seem like a kid that has everything you want.
You don't look like a kid who'd fall for it.
Who knows?
I'd give you a thousand reasons.
They're still in there.
I guess I just wanted to be top man all the way around.
How did you get on it?
I started lushing it up in the tea and in the heroin.
That's the way it runs, isn't it?
Roast the time.
I didn't figure I'd ever be hooked.
Starting couldn't happen to me.
I don't know where you can be.
How long you had the big habit?
About six months.
Chippy was it about the same time before then?
Where'd you get the money?
I guess we had to get to that, huh?
That's right.
Where'd you get it?
Well, I got some kids pushing this stuff for me.
Worked for a while.
Wasn't enough.
By that time the kids were hooked themselves.
I was the only connection they had.
They had to do business with me or do without it.
You know?
I told them that if they couldn't pay me in cash,
I'd take merchandise.
They'd bring it.
I'd sell it.
That way we both came out all right.
They got their age.
I got mine.
I mean, you got them a steal, I didn't?
Yeah, I get so.
I never asked where they got the stuff.
I just took it and sold it.
That and the stuff they sold for me.
I mean, huh?
These kids pushing age for you?
No.
Well, they're shoving tea.
I sell it to them for four bits a step.
They get up to a buck and a half for it.
You know where they peddle it?
No, I never asked.
All I was interested in was if I got mine.
All right, give us their names, will you?
They said it's the only way, huh?
They said it's the only way.
OK, I'll give them to you.
How about your connection, Lucy?
Guy named Jack?
Jack, who?
I don't know, Honest, I really don't.
Where'd you meet him?
Drive in downtown.
Where?
Drive in the corner, Reno and Vernon.
How do you set up the meet?
I just go in there between 10 and midnight.
By the car in order of coffee comes over the car.
You mean that he's always there at that time, huh?
Usually is.
So you're only source?
Yeah?
Anyone else pushing it around there?
No, as far as I know, I think he's the only one in the operation.
All right, you'd be willing to arrange a meet with him
so we can pick him up.
Yeah, I'll do it.
All right, fun.
You want to see the folks I've got so much to make up for?
That's right, you have.
Don't think I'll live long enough to do it all.
932 a.m., we got a description of the suspect known as Jack
and also the names and addresses of the teenagers involved.

Frank and I contacted the juvenile authorities
and gave them the information.
We went back to our office and had Gary Field
check our files of known narcotic suspects.
He was unable to give us an identification on Jay.
11.56 a.m., we took the boy who was home and talked with his parents.
12.30 p.m., Frank, Gary Field and I drove to the corner of Vernon
and Reno to check over the drive-in restaurant.
He was set up in the usual way with a parking area
around the main building for car service.
In the rear of the lot was a building housing a cocktail bar
and there were parking spaces in front of that for the bar customers.
As we drove past the place, Gary told us that he usually parked
around the side of the main building
and that this jack came from the direction of the bar.
He was unable to tell us whether the suspect drove a car or not.
The plan was for Gary to introduce me as an narcotics buyer
who was trying to get a local connection.
It was agreed that because of the size of the buy I was to make
it would be necessary for me to deal with the head of the organization.
11.05 p.m., Gary and I got into my car and we drove to the drive-in.
Frank followed us in a police unit.
We arrived at the meet at 11.14 p.m.
Frank stayed in the background and we waited.
The suspect failed to make an appearance.
The next night the plan was repeated, again nothing.
Sunday, April 10th, 10.05 p.m.
We arrived at the drive-in, we waited.
11.05 p.m., 11.15, 11.30.
No sign of the suspect.
Midnight, 12.04 p.m.
Looks like he isn't going to be here.
So I just said he usually showed up, didn't he?
I don't know what happened. He was always here before.
You sure you got the right driving?
Look, Mr. Friday, I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling the truth.
Yeah, you know all this is kind of tough to buy, don't you?
Three nights and he isn't here.
I don't understand. He was always here before.
Wait a minute.
Yeah.
Hold it.
Yeah, that's him.
Come on over from the bar.
All right, which one? There's a couple of people coming out there.
Big one.
Seeing the grace suit?
Yeah.
I'm sure that's this jack.
Positive, Mr. Friday.
All right, now you look.
You know what you're going to do?
Don't let on anything's wrong here.
Remember that nothing's going to happen to you.
I remember.
Hold it. He's coming over.
Hi, Kya.
Hi, Jack. I've been looking for you where you've been.
Uh-huh. Who's your friend?
Oh, yeah. I want to talk to you about him.
What's the new business for you?
We're talking about what business?
Well, Jack is all right. I know it.
He's thinking I brought him here if I didn't know it.
Oh, he's all right. He's a friend of yours.
You know the bit, any friend of yours?
I know what to talk about businesses.
I know what you're doing here, but I'm here for a cup of coffee.
Better let me talk to him along.
We're trying to prove bringing the guy who is it?
Friend of mine?
Told you once. It told you a thousand times.
Don't ever bring nobody with you.
Haven't I told you, huh?
Well, yeah, but he's okay.
He wants to make a buy a big one.
Crazy kid. You told him about it?
Look, he's okay. I know it.
Jack, we both stand and do all right.
I kind of figured if you bite from you,
you might give me a little piece of it.
You know, sort of say, thanks for the business.
How long you know on this guy?
Long time.
How long?
A couple of years.
I've never seen him before.
He doesn't hang around as part of town.
What you don't hear now.
Like I said, trying to make a buy.
Where'd you meet him?
Before I met you, I used to buy stuff for him.
He moved out of town, went up north.
There's business up there.
Last couple of days, I couldn't get in touch with you.
I ran into him. He fixed me up.
And he told me he wanted to buy right away.
I thought of you.
All right, I'll talk to him.
I ain't making no deal.
You just talk to him.
He'll find out everything's okay.
All right.
You'll let me do the talk.
Joe, this is Jack.
It's all I was telling you about.
Right.
Hey.
Kirit tells me you're done on business, all right?
Yeah, I'm looking around.
Nice place, L.A.
Not a business to do here.
But line you.
Whatever pays me.
Where you from?
Up north.
Mm-hmm.
How long you don't carry here?
Are you listening to me?
I haven't got all night to stand around here and guzzlers
stay at coffee with you.
The other kid told you what I want.
Not boils down to one simple question.
You want to do business or don't you?
Go and kind of fast, aren't you?
I haven't got a lot of time.
I don't like to deal that way.
All right, kid.
Let's get out of here.
You shouldn't have known better to figure on dealing with a small time operator.
I told you that before.
What do you mean by that?
You read it anyway you want.
Well, let's go, son.
See you around, mister.
Hey, uh.
Hold on.
No need to get sore about it.
You just have to be careful, you know how it is.
When you listen.
I was shoving horse when you were playing with marbles.
I bought growing the kid games.
I thought I could make a buy.
I see it was wrong.
Maybe not.
Why?
I said maybe we could do business.
I got to have it tonight.
How much you need?
I need an ounce.
It's got to be good.
Mm-hmm.
I haven't got that much with me.
How much have you got?
I only got 12 vendels with me.
How much?
You got to understand.
This is good stuff.
How much?
I looked this is better.
You can find any place else.
All right, let's quit playing.
What's the tab on it?
Ten bucks a bundle.
All right.
I'll take the 12.
I'll sue and Kenny on the rest of it.
Why don't you want it?
I told you I was in the hurry.
Don't you hear good?
Yeah.
Maybe tomorrow night.
All right, that'll have to do.
If it's good quality, I mean once more.
How much can you supply?
How much do you need?
Oh, it's all maybe another ounce.
You got the cash for this?
I don't do business any other way.
Wait, here.
I'll be back.
It's all right, isn't it, Mr. Frank?
Yeah, I'll carry everything's fine.
You see where he's going?
No, it's too dark.
Don't you worry about it, Frank.
I'll see where he goes.
I'll be glad when this is over.
I'll hold it.
Let's go.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
I came so soon, the money.
I got it right here.
Let's see the horse.
You got it?
I'm sorry.
Here.
You don't mind if I count it?
No, go right ahead.
It's all there.
120 bucks, isn't it?
Just to make sure.
Yeah.
50, 70, 90, 110, 120.
Yeah, all right.
It's all here.
I'll see you tomorrow night, huh?
Yeah, sure.
I'll tell you, it's nice to be with you.
It's been a real pleasure.
A real pleasure.
Well, it works both ways, Mr.
And I hope to see a lot more of you.
You will.
You're under arrest.
