Transcript

to protect the innocent. Drag myths, a detective sergeant. You're assigned a homicide detail. You get a call to investigate unknown trouble. The caller gives no indication of what's wrong. Saturday, July 18th was warm in Los Angeles.

We were working the day watch out of homicide detail. My partner, Frank Smith, the boss is Captain Warman. My name's Friday. We're on our way back from questioning a suspect and it was 10.56 AM when I got back to our car.

Unit 1, KEAD. You getting me a pack too? Yeah, here you are. Thanks. Hey Joe. Mm-hmm. When if you do me a favor. I just did. I bought you back cigarettes. No. Something else. I've been thinking about taking a sergeant exam.

If I can crack at this time. I figure I got about six months before they're going to hold them again. Gives me plenty of time to get ready. It's a lot of work. You're going to have to really hustle the books.

Playing me like to do some work on the house. I'm the only way we can do it. I'm excited. Thought we want me to do. Well, I wonder if you kind of helped me out along the way. You made it. Tell me what to watch out for.
