Here's another in NBC's Great Parade of new shows. The story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. NBC brings you Dragnet. You are Detective Sergeant.

You're assigned a homicide bureau. A police officer has been shot, mortally wounded. One of the suspects has been apprehended. The other is still at large. Your job? Find him. It was Thursday, November 16th. It was foggy in Los Angeles.

We were working the day, watch out on homicide. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Ed Baxter and Chief of Detectives. My name's Friday. It was 11.58 AM when we got to the George Street receiving hospital second floor room 5.

Treatment room. Very good time. How's they, Mr.? Got them in lungs, Ben, three times. Going past. Is the wife with them? They bring him down now. Can we talk to them? They'll make it fast.

Come on, you. This way. He's John. John is Friday in Romero. I want to talk to you a minute. Doc. Doc at Burns. My chest. Brining up. Yes, Dr.? Other haptodonic. Yes, Dr. All right, fellas. Don't take too long.

John, it's Joe Friday. Can you tell us how it happened? Joe. Joe, how did it happen, boy? Can you tell me? Can't figure it, Joe. Why do you do it? I gotta find out how did it happen.

I don't know. I was directing traffic. East Broadway, first street, Grey Coop. Pulled up for the stop. Grey Coop. How many men in the car? How many John? Two. Grey Coop. Pulled up for the stop.
