Dragnet: The Big Rescue

You're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Drag meth. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a robbery detail. Two men are terrorizing your city. They're both armed and considered dangerous.

Your job? Get them. It was Thursday, September 9th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the night. Watch out a robbery detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Chief of Detective's Dad Brown.

My name's Friday. I was on my way back from the street. It was 11.42 p.m. when I got to the 8.14 club. The back room. I hate to think what's gonna happen. Mr. Negri here is about it.

It's gonna be pretty bad. Yes, sir. How about the jump? You cut your fella jet? No, sir. Descriptions out. Guys from the F cars are checking the neighborhood. Kevin got nothing yet, though, huh? No, sir, not yet.

Wish I was home. Sir? If I was home, I could turn off the phone. I got one of those attachments in the extension in the bedroom that turns it off. Wish I was there now.

Mr. Negri is really gonna be sore. Was there anything at all about the two men that would stand out and make a little easier for us to identify him? Tell you a true sergeant if there was, I didn't see it.

I was scared. Darn scared, I'm not afraid to say so. Yes, sir. I can tell you again if you want me to. About the robbery. All right, if you would, it might be something you didn't remember the first time.

Okay. Guess it was about a quarter eleven when it came in. Just a guess what I think it was about then. A dark one. He had the machine gun. He kind of moved over so he had a good look at the people sitting at the bar.
