Dragnet: The Big New Years

homicide detail. It's New Year's Eve and your city and you're on special duty. Thousands of people crowd downtown streets. One of them is a killer. Your job. Find them. Met a drum of an actual crime. For 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 violence. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, The first thing I can do is to get the story of your police force in action. It was New Year's Eve, it was cold in Los Angeles.

We were working the night watch out of homicide, special duty. My partner's Ben Romero, the boss is Dad Brown, Chief of Detective. My name's Friday. I was on the way back from dinner and it was 8.35pm when I got to room 42.

Homicide. Hi, Barney. How was it outside? It's cold. Not keeping people at home, though. You checked the crowds? Yeah. They're watching her from the window here. He's bigger than last New Year's. Crazy. You're on with Ben and me tonight, is that right?

Uh-huh. Thought I was gonna have it off. Life had a little house party planned, everything. That was too bad, maybe next time, huh? That's what I said last New Year's. I guess we better start moving.

Yeah, where's Ben? He went down the hall a minute, said he'd be right back. I better take my top door. Yeah, I would if I were you. Nothing for us in the book, is there, Barney?

I almost forgot Jack County called, having a little party out of his house. I'm already out of this house. Why don't you or a man on a drop around when you get off. Said he'd call back.
