Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Dragnet. Your detective Sergeant, you're assigned a juvenile detail. A series of house breakings has taken place in your city.

The articles taken in the method of operation indicate a juvenile fleet. Your job? It was two to be July 6th. It was hot in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of juvenile detail.

My partner's friend, Smith, the boss is Captain Powers. My name's Friday. We're on our way out from the office, and it was 10.36 AM when we got to the old central jail building. Crime lab.

Right? Back here you go. Finish now. All right, it's gonna hit the 90. Mm-hmm. Probably will too. Any water around? Far lower than the corner, huh? Stop. Thanks. How about you, June? No, no. Okay.

You got anything for us, right? That's the name of the usual. Take a look. You know, when the back window's booked, the glass is climbed in. Any prints? None of the good time. Here's a picture of the edges of the screen.

What about the physical evidence in the house, Ray? Now, now, March, we got a couple of partial lifted in from the glass top on the dresses. And you can see here, not much going. Match up with the French from the other job, couple of points, and then I have to go to case on.
