Dragnet. Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a robbery detail. A gunman has robbed a bank in your city.

From his method of operation you know he's dangerous. Your job? Get him. The documented drama 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, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Wednesday May 4. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working today to watch out a robbery detail.

My partner Frank Smith, the boss at TvT, picked your staff round. My name was Friday. It was 12.36 p.m. when I got the call and it took me eight minutes to get back to the City Hall. Robby Squadron.

Good job. Yeah. Back here. What's up? Oh, Bank's having slugging. We got a rule, huh? Where? Carner Melrose and Fountain. Anybody else on it? Yeah. J.J. and Merck went out. Alright. Let's go. Righty. Smith?

Yeah, look. You two gonna cover the bank, hold up? Yeah, we'll just leave it. I don't call any's out with J.J. and Merck. They got it covered out there. Skipper wants you to take Georgia Street and talk to the guard, so you can get any information out of it.

Alright. What's the name? I haven't got it. There's a uniform man with him. Some guys in pretty bad shape. On the thief left the bank, the guard tried to stop him. All the men pulled a gun, misfired, pistol with the old guy.
