Dragnet.
You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a robbery detail.
You've been looking for a suspect in a market robbery for three weeks. Finally, an informant calls you with information.
Your job? Check it out.
It was Tuesday, February 17th.
It was cold and Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out a robbery detail.
My partner's frank smith, the boss's activity get his bad browns, my name's Friday.
We're on our way out from the office, and it was 10.56 for the time we parked our car and got to 42.78 when on it.
The ballamines room.
Hi Joe, Frank.
Damn, how you doing?
I'm walking around, about all I can expect.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Did you get your hearing?
No, I don't think so.
Just made a fresh pot of coffee and back like a cup.
Yeah, I'm going to go for one.
How about you, Frank?
Sure, I'll get it.
Hey, both taken black, don't you?
That's right.
Yeah, man.
What was it you wanted to talk to us about?
Why?
I said, what was it you wanted to see us about?
I'm just a man and I'll be right with you.
There you want to take one of these cups?
Yeah, let me give you a hand there.
All right.
There you go, Frank.
Thanks.
What do you got for us, Dan?
We had a set in a paper a couple of weeks ago.
We had a stick up at that big market out in the valley.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Feet made it with close to $7,000.
You got anything on it?
Well, what the guy looked like.
Well, the script you we got was 28 to 30.
5, 8, 5, 10.
145 pounds dark hair dark eyes.
We wearing leather jacket and denim pants.
Was all the paper pants.
Well, it might fit them.
I'll accept the clothes, huh?
I've been a bow honk hanging around here the last couple of weeks.
Gotta roll and make a horse pretty sick.
Yeah.
The funny part is that I've seen him around here for a year.
He never had two dimes to rub together.
All of a sudden, he turns up loaded.
Popping for drinks all over the place, loaded down with expensive watches,
good clothes, everything that goes with money.
What's his name, you know?
Well, I don't know the whole thing.
Been calling him Nick.
That's all I know.
He matches the description pretty closely.
All except the clothes.
Frank, he's carrying now or the best.
Don't look like they come from plain racks.
They come up with any kind of a story about the money.
No, I kind of hinted at it a couple of times.
You know, on a joke and sort of a way.
I didn't want to be too nosy.
Yeah, no.
He says is that he met the locksmith before it knocks.
Passed it off as a big joke.
Said he found the easy way to live.
Might be our man.
Yeah, the close friend.
No, Joey, present kind of solo.
He dated Magic a couple of times.
Oh man.
She's a wapers here.
Comes in about six.
She works at tables and back.
Do you tell you anything about the guy?
No, I asked her.
But she says they had dinner.
Took in a couple of clubs and he took her home.
Played it straight all evening.
Kind of worried Magic for a couple of days after figure.
She was kind of slipping a little.
He didn't say anything to her.
No, no, no kind of a tip off.
Played it real straight like I said.
She had a job.
Well, not so as you'd notice.
It doesn't seem to have any working hours.
You used to walk in here at all hours.
Got any other friends?
No, close ones.
He'd buy drinks for anybody.
That was around when he was popping.
But he never came in with nobody.
He never left with anybody.
You see, never had lately.
No, not for a couple of days.
Got any out of your way, man.
No, I don't think he pads down here in the neighborhood.
How about a car?
No, go all the time.
I saw him. He rode cabs.
Took him here and left in him.
Well, last time he left, you see what he was going?
No.
Just shoved off.
He said he might not be around for a couple of days.
And I have a hot cup of Irish coffee waiting for him when he got back.
What's Irish coffee?
That's a new drink.
I got it from a friend of mine up in San Francisco.
A cup of coffee, Irish whiskey, a cup with a jolt of whipped cream.
Just drink him all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's got the whole place on him.
You come in some night.
We got more coffee cups than the bar than glasses.
He didn't give me any idea where he was going.
And if he threw it, I didn't hear it.
Anybody around the place you might have talked to?
Well, I can't give you no names.
My talk to Mads.
I don't think she'll come up with anything but you can try.
The time you say she came in.
Six.
That's when she's supposed to check in.
Once in a while, she's late, but she's supposed to have her apron on about six.
Okay, Van, thanks for the call.
We'll be back.
Now, if his nick comes in, give us the ring.
Sure, if he's in town, he'll be back.
Sure.
He's all the time.
Tell me we got the best Irish coffee in town.
That's all he drinks, so it's figures he'll be here to get some.
Right away, I see him.
I'll give you a call.
All right, thanks, Van.
I sure hope it's the guy you're after.
Well, so do we.
Seven.
Geez.
Lot of money.
You can buy an awful lot with that.
Yeah, you better not hit that Irish coffee too hard.
Three weeks previously on Monday, January 19th at 9.40 a.m.,
a masked man had walked into a supermarket at the corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Camarillo Street
and held up the store for a total of $7,367.
The alarm had gone out immediately,
but the holdup man succeeded in getting out of the area.
All routine procedures have been followed,
but it resulted in no information to put us any closer to the feet.
Local broadcasts and APBs have been gotten out.
The description of the thief had been taken and checked to the staff's office.
All leads have been followed up without result.
The phone call from the bartender appeared to be our first break in the case.
Frank and I went back to the city hall and checked the name,
making the description through the monitor, filing our eye.
There were only four possible's turned over to it.
We showed the mugshots to the bartender, but he couldn't give us my identification.
We got the home address of Mads, the cocktail waitress, and we went out to see her.
The landlord told us that she wasn't home and that when the girl had left,
she said she'd go straight to work.
We waited for her at the bar, but after talking to her,
we had no additional information to work with.
The following morning, we began to canvas the neighborhood.
We talked to shopkeepers and storeholders.
In several clothing stores, we found clerks who thought they remembered the man
but they weren't able to give us any information on him.
Late that afternoon, we talked to a juror.
We asked if he had a customer who might fit the description of the suspect.
Yes, sir. Same as the man I remember, a man like that.
What can't you tell us about him, Mr. Hobb?
No, but quite a bit of merchandise.
What is it you want to know?
Could you give us his name?
I'm afraid not.
How about receipts, anything like that?
No, sir, the case sale is no reason to take his name.
Can you give us any information on him at all?
Maybe if you could tell me what this is all about, I could help you out.
How's the police matter, Mr. Hobb?
I understand, Sergeant, I want to do what I can, but it's rather difficult
without knowing exactly what it is you're after.
Well, we want to find a man. I mean, information you have that will help us do that.
He'll be appreciated.
There's nothing I can do for you.
Well, how about the things you bought?
You want the complete list?
Yeah, how much you bought.
I have to look it up, Mr. Minute.
All right, sir.
Keep a record of your sales, do you?
I have to. Protects purposes.
Just a minute.
Uh-huh.
I'm not certain of the date.
Take a minute to find.
Oh, that should take your time.
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There it is.
But a gold tie bar.
Set a cufflinks and a wristwatch.
Can you give us the description of the goods?
You play gold tie bar, square ends, cufflinks for playing.
Sort of.
Square design, no relief work.
How about the watch?
Now, paddock for leave, solid gold.
Anything about the watch that would make it easier to identify?
No.
You got a record of the case and movement number?
Mm-hmm.
You want that?
Oh, my help.
Yeah, I got it for you.
All right, fine.
How do you pay for this much, guys?
In cash.
Yes, sir.
But what about the denominations of the bills?
Would you remember what they were?
I'm sorry, Sergeant.
I can't help you there.
It was a while ago, and I don't remember.
Is there anything at all about the man that might help us identify him?
An accent, maybe?
Way walk, way dress.
No.
He was well dressed, conservative.
I'll accept the tie, that was.
I'll have your drawing.
What's that?
He had on a dark flannel suit.
Buttoned down collar, black shoes.
Everything went together except the tie.
He was bright red.
What about his speeches?
Very well.
Not that I remember.
Nothing else about it.
No, sir.
Well, all right, Mr. Hobbs.
I'll leave one of our cards with you.
If you think of anything else, we'd appreciate a call.
Mm-hmm.
Ask for you, Mr. Freddie.
Leave it with me here, Frank Smith here.
All right.
If I think of anything.
If you'll get the numbers on the watch, please.
Oh.
Yeah, I almost forgot it.
Say.
Sure is something.
Yes, sir.
When he bought the new watch, he was wearing one.
Uh-huh.
Asked me if I'd give him anything for it.
One to trade it in.
Yeah.
I told him wasn't worth anything to me.
Suggest that you try to sell it to a secondhand store.
Well, he said he seemed to last the hawk shop.
So if I didn't want to buy the watch, he'd make me a gift of it.
Well, did you take it?
He left it here.
He still have it.
I think it's still in the back.
I got a box of old parts.
His watch might be in there.
Or if you'd mind checking it.
And it's a minute.
Let's see if I can find it.
Mm-hmm.
What do you think?
I don't know, it might be something.
I don't know what to do for a break.
Mm-hmm.
We're going to take the office after this.
Yeah, I guess so.
You want to go over dinner?
No, not tonight.
Please, got the girls from the Bridge Club coming over.
I thought I'd go buy Allen Lums, get some tramp and lobster.
You want to go with me?
Where?
Allen Lums.
Oh, yeah.
Good lobster, please.
I'll do anything.
Hey, here.
It is.
The watch is in here.
Now, some boys.
What kind of a watch is it, sir?
Mm-hmm.
Off brand should be here, some boys.
Let this one here.
Broken, huh?
Let me see.
Oh, yeah.
Why?
Nothing special.
Kind of nice, doesn't it?
It's hard to work.
We might be able to make it deal.
I saw you that when I did jail tomorrow, sure.
Oh.
Oh, wait a minute.
Hey, here.
Here it is.
This is it?
Yes, sir.
Well, now, is there anything about the watch
that would make it possible to tell where it was bought?
No, sir.
It's a cheap brand.
Most of the drug stores in town carry them.
Uh-huh.
That's what if you mind if we take it with us,
we'll give you a receipt.
Oh.
I won't be necessary.
I tried to.
You appreciate it, Mr. Hobb.
We'd better give you a receipt.
All right.
Get the book.
Oh.
I just thought of something.
It might not work with worth of try.
Yes, sir.
What's that?
Just a minute.
Yeah.
He did, sir.
He had the watch you paired at one time or another.
You see here?
Let me see.
Oh, I don't believe I see what you mean.
Well, here.
Do you see the initials there in the numbers?
It's RJ10567.
Yeah.
That's the initials of a watcher family worked on the watch.
That should make it pretty simple, can it?
Yes.
It'll help you.
Yeah, simple.
All you have to do is find RJ and get the name of the man
who had work number 10567.
He should be able to give you the name of the man you're looking for.
Uh-huh.
It's simple.
Yes, it's not quite that easy, but it's a place to start.
We left the jewel earn.
We went back to the office.
We checked the phone book for a watch repairman
with the possible initials of RJ.
Frank got on one phone and I got on another.
There's a long chance that the watch had been bought and serviced
in Los Angeles.
We went through the watch repair companies
where the initials we were looking for.
And then we started at the top of the list of jewelry concerns.
All right.
That's right, sir.
Thank you very much.
All the information we have.
Yes, sir.
Thanks a lot.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Bye.
I got nothing.
Well, we better get on it.
We're going to have to wait until tomorrow.
Five, twenty most of the places close in a few minutes
or we'll stay with it.
Yeah.
It's getting so I can't see the numbers on this dial anymore.
Oh, this is Sergeant Friday, Los Angeles.
Please depart.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
Yes, officer Frank Smith.
No, there's nothing involved.
Please depart.
We have a watch repairman who uses one of the people
in the collection.
Well, that's RJ.
Yes, sir.
Do you have a watch repairman?
I use the initials RJ.
No, sir.
No, we're looking for him from Robert and James and James.
Mm-hmm.
And we'd like nothing at all.
Yes, ma'am.
All right, sir.
Thank you.
I'll wait.
Bye.
Thank you all.
Nothing here.
I don't know.
Maybe we've got a dead end.
Yeah.
She's gone to look here.
I see.
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
Uh-huh.
Hello.
Mrs. Sarge.
We just went all the way here.
Hey, hold up, Joe.
I got one.
Yes, the middle.
Hold up.
Yeah, that's right.
Just Frank Smith.
Hang on a minute.
I got one.
Just Frank Smith, Robert, detail.
Uh-huh.
Can you tell me who gave you the work number?
Uh-huh.
No, can you tell me who you gave the work number 10567 to?
That's right.
10567.
Yes, sir.
I'll hang on.
Got a guy now.
He's checking.
He looked good.
Well, it might be placed down on fifth.
West fifth.
Well, I'll let this one go for him.
Yeah.
Hey, hello, sir.
Yeah, that's right, sir.
Well, I'll call you back.
5-6-7.
No, it's nothing important.
Who?
Well, I may call back.
Do you have an address for him?
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
I see.
Do you remember him at all?
Mm-hmm.
Well, thanks very much.
We'll get in touch with you.
Well, according to this guy, the watch is brought in by Mike Langley.
Maybe we know who we're looking for now.
Well, there's another problem.
Yeah.
President Barack Obama.
Virginia, we are counting on you.
Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress
to raid the next election and wield unchecked power
for two more years.
But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st.
Help put our elections back on a level playing field
and let voters decide not politicians.
Vote yes.
By April 21st.
Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.
Too fast, Trevor, too fast.
Kill it, Zebra.
Research shows people would rather teach their kids to drive
than search for auto and home insurance.
I know what I'm doing.
Or attend a corporate team-building workshop.
Don't you even feel that synergy?
Or be regaled by Uncle Frank's conspiracy theories.
They're listening to us right now.
That's why the Zebra are such as four.

We do the searching.
You do the saving.
Here at the Zebra, research shows the average person
would rather endure a root canal than search for auto
and home insurance.
Just try to relax.
Or be trapped in a car for eight hours
with toddlers on a sugar high.
Or remove a nest of irate hornets.
That's why the Zebra searches for the best
and the best.
That's why the Zebra searches for you.

We do the searching.
You do the saving.
I think I'll wait inside.
We checked the name Langley through R&I
but without any description to work with
it was a little chance that we'd find anything.
We checked the description on the arrest reports
against that of our suspect
and we ruled out all the possible that we came up with.
We checked the name in the phone book
but we found no listing.
We checked the city directory without result.
6.15 p.m.
We got in touch with the utility companies
and asked them to check their records.
They told us they'd call us back
by the next morning with the information.
Wednesday, February 18th, 9.12 a.m.
Frank and I were in the squad room.
I got it.
Robbery Friday.
Yes, it's Ryan.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Mm-hmm.
26.47 Gilbert.
That's G is in George.
I-L-B-E-R-T.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, how long have they had that service?
Uh-huh.
Right, you betcha.
Thanks very much.
Friday.
Yes, right.
Thanks very much.
I came up with it, huh?
Yeah, looks real good here.
Service started on Friday, January 16th.
Yeah.
Two days before the robbery.
9.52 a.m.
We made another check at our eye,
and then we left the office.
We drove out the Hollywood Freeway,
turned off at Vermont, drove over to Gilbert.
26.47 was the last unit in the Spanish style court.
Frank covered the back of the place,
and I went up and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a woman in her late twenties.
She identified herself as Mrs. Pearl Langley.
We asked about her husband.
She told us he was at work.
Frank and I got the address and drove over to the place.
Mike Langley was a fry cook in a small restaurant on Spring Street.
We took him back into the manager's office and we talked to him.
He matched the description of the suspect very close.
They're way off base.
Well, maybe you can tell us where you were on Saturday, January 17th, huh?
Sure, I was home helping Pearl.
We just moved in a new place a day before.
I was giving her a hand, getting things straight now.
What about Sunday, the 18th?
I worked here.
It's the only job I've got.
What about Monday, the 19th?
Same deal.
You were here.
That's right.
What time do you come to work?
I'm going to get in about 6'30, line things up in the kitchen.
We open at 7'30.
You're pretty sure where you were on the 19th.
Positive.
Any special reason you're so sure?
What do you mean?
Well, any reason you'd remember you were working on that day?
Nothing besides I have missed the day since I took the job.
What was that?
About a year and a half ago.
You have to check with the bus.
He'd have a record of what days you were here.
You know, Skim Flitty's got a note in every minute I was in the kitchen.
Probably tell you how many eggs I fried since I've been cooking for him.
You want to check on that, Frank?
Yeah.
I want you to look at something here, Langley.
You tell me if you know who it belongs to.
Sure, what do you got?
Right here.
It's a cheap watch.
It isn't mine, you ever seen it?
No, thanks, though.
You ever been arrested?
Why, I asked that.
Have you?
No.
Never been in trouble with the police?
Not in California.
Where?
Texas.
Where in Texas?
Galveston.
What was the beat?
Drunk driving and nail me on the boulevard.
What'd you draw?
I paid a fine to 10 days.
That's the only trouble you've ever had with the police.
That's it.
You sure about this watch?
Yeah.
Never saw it before.
Nope.
Go.
Yeah.
You're right back, Langley.
I'd appreciate it if you could step it up.
The boss is going to start docking me if I'm off much more.
How?
What do you got?
I checked with the owner.
Looks like we're far out on this thing.
Langley was working all day the night, keep.
You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action.
We contacted the authorities in Galveston and talked with officers Rex Torian and Ruben Guzman.
They told us that Mike Langley had been arrested for drunk driving.
They went on to say that he lived in the beach city for several years,
and that until his arrest he had never been in trouble.
We brought him down to the city hall and we talked to him further.
The victims of the hold-up were asked to a special show up,
but although they said Langley looked quite a bit like the stick-up man,
they couldn't give us a positive identification.
It was released from custody.
On Thursday, February 19th, we got a call from him asking us to come out to his home.
Frank and I left the office and drove to the Gilbert Street address.
We met Langley and his wife.
You met my wife, Pearl, didn't you?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
We met yesterday.
And what do you want to see us about, Langley?
Sit down.
Can I have a cup of coffee?
No, thank you, ma'am.
I hate to bring you guys out here, but I want to get this thing cleared up.
Yes, sir.
We do, too.
You got that watch with you?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Make sure you are.
Well, thanks.
I got to think about it last night about why you think it was mine.
Yes, sir.
I guess it didn't make much of an impression on me at the time,
but I remembered it.
Yeah.
I figured out how you got my name on it.
Yes, sir.
I did take the watch in to be fixed.
It isn't mine, but I did have it fixed.
Who does it belong to?
My cousin, Herbert Langley.
He got in some trouble when he was a quentin.
He sent the watch out to me to have it fixed.
I guess I must have forgotten all about it.
You know where he is now?
He was staying here with us.
How long ago, ma'am?
Well, he got here the day after we moved in the house.
That'd be Sunday.
Yeah.
I remember because Mike and me were trying to get the place straightened out
and Herbert didn't do anything, but sat around and guzzled beer.
Didn't look to hand to help.
See here now?
Meant to stand here?
Yes, ma'am.
No.
He moved out about a week ago.
Can you tell you where he was going?
No.
So he was tired of being a fifth wheel left.
Him and Pearl didn't go on too good.
We sure didn't.
One thing I don't go is a man who doesn't work.
Went around the house all day or else done at some bar drinking all day.
You know what he was in jail for?
Herbert kept telling us it was a bad beef.
They didn't have anything to do with it.
What was it, Charlie?
In robbery.
Where was that?
Up north.
Mr. Sanra fell, wasn't he?
A real bum.
I wish you wouldn't say that, Pearl.
Why not?
True.
You just didn't understand him.
No, and I didn't want it.
I don't like him.
Never did.
All the time, laying around, giving orders, wanted to be waited on.
Hand foot.
I was always asking for something.
Him and that lousy coffee.
That was the end when he started asking for that Irish coffee.
What do you mean?
Well, coffee Irish whiskey and whipped cream.
Something he heard about someplace.
Do you know where he is now?
No.
How about you, sir?
Well, I haven't got the address, but he did say something about going back to see mother.
Where would that be?
Texas.
He wasn't sure.
He just said he was thinking about it.
Uh-huh.
Do you say when he was coming back?
No.
Him and Pearl had a beef for you last night.
No.
Back to the bag, said he'd never be back.
We got a complete description of Herbert Langley in a snapshot of him.
Frank and I went back to the office and put in a call to Fred Galloway in the adult authority
office.
He contacted Sacramento and got Langley's prison number.
We checked the coming out mug books and got a good picture of the suspect.
This was shown to the victims and they identified him positively as the hold-up man.
A local and an APB were gotten out on him and a radio gram was sent to the authorities
and Galveston, Texas asking them to check on the suspect.
We got a list of his known friends and other relatives.
These were interviewed, but they were unable to give us any further leads on Langley's
whereabouts.
A week went by.
On Friday, February 27, Frank and I got back into the office from the main jail.
Thank you, Stalin, the truth.
Well, for years, it's the first time he hasn't had an honest job in the last six years.
I'll check the book, huh?
Yeah.
Robert Stewart, you guys just a minute.
Joe, shake one.
Thanks, Joe.
One?
One.
It's Friday.
Yes, ma'am.
Uh-huh.
Well, no, he won't hear it from us.
Yeah.
Well, how long ago was that?
Yep.
All right.
No, we'll check it out.
Thanks for calling us.
Right?
Bye.
Nothing in the book, but it was Pearl Langley on the phone.
Yeah.
She just got a message from the suspect.
Yeah.
He's in town.
Frank and I, along with Stewart Creasy, Strongwell and Stoner, checked out of the office and went
over to the bar on Winona Street.
Mrs. Langley had told me on the phone that her brother-in-law had sent a telegram to the
house asking that her husband meet him there after work.
When we got to the place, the suspect wasn't there.
Stewart and Creasy covered the front of the bar well.
Strongwell and Stoner, staked out on the alley at the back of the place.
Frank and I went inside and talked to the bartender, Van Gordon.
Hi, Joe, Frank.
Van.
How's it going?
You seen the fella Nick that you told us about?
No, not since I talked to you.
If you'd been in, I was sure giving you a call.
Why?
We got wordies in town.
It's both show up here.
How heavy is he?
We don't know for sure.
You found out who he is, yeah?
Yeah.
We made him for a Herbert Langley.
You found him for the market, Joe?
Victims say he's the man, yeah.
Well, when he say he was going to be here.
Oh, wait, we got it sometime this afternoon.
Say you're going to take him here?
I'm going to try.
Well, do me a favor, will you?
Try to, what's that?
Well, if there's a beef with you, try and steer him outside before it gets bad.
I don't want the place broken now.
I would do what we can.
You get you anything while you're waiting?
How about some coffee?
Yeah, I think there's some left.
I don't know how good it is.
Long is the top and black.
Well, I'll get a couple of cups.
You want to drink it here at the bar?
No, we'll take it to one of the booths.
Hey, you'll remember, huh?
What's that?
I'll try to steer him outside.
Yeah, ma'am.
Frank and I sat down on the booth and we waited.
2.30 pm.
3.
No sign of Langley.
3.30.
Several people came in and sat out at the bar.
The bartender tried to get him out of the place as soon as he could.
In the event there wasn't any trouble, we didn't want anyone to get hurt.
4 o'clock.
4.15.
Hi, Van.
How's it going?
I'm pretty good neck.
Where you been?
Oh, I'll take a couple of weeks out of town.
I had some business to do.
Uh-huh.
How'd it be?
I reached coffee, huh?
Yeah.
Put some whipped cream on it this time.
Sure, sure.
That's him.
What's going on?
Yeah.
You ever been up through Washington, Van?
No.
Did you try to make the trip sometimes?
Sure, beautiful.
Yes, I'm of you one.
Herb Langley?
Who's asking?
Police officers are going to arrest.
They're right.
Stand up.
What's the charge?
Robert.
I'll stand still.
I'll shake them, shall we?
Get him outside.
Let's do it.
Don't break up the plate.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
All right, come on, come on.
Get up.
What a couple.
Yeah.
Oh, look at this place.
Just look at it.
It's going to take me a couple of weeks to open it up again.
Oh, sorry about it, Van.
Oh, this isn't going to do much good.
Where the place is smashed.
Who's going to pay for it?
Who's going to make it right?
I wouldn't know.
See, I asked you to steer him outside.
I asked you to steer him outside.
Well, he didn't give us much joy.
Huh?
This is the way he wanted it.
Nice to say, but who's going to pay for it?
I wouldn't do much good if I told you.
Huh?
He's got another bill to pay first.
