Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city, or under the cold, glaring lights will pass before us the innocent, the vagrant, the thief, the murderer.
This is the line up. As Mr. Wiggan... Howdy, dear Mr. Wiggan.
Oh, better, I feel a little better. Well, we can sit right here. No, no, no, thank you. It's all right. I'll see you later then. Yeah. Thank you, Sergeant. You're back. Nice to know. Quine?
Yeah. How many people do we have to look at? I think they're 28 or 29. You've had two other cases like yours in the past week. Picked up a couple of guys that might be possibilities but we haven't been able to get positive.
Hey, I have your attention, please. You people out there on the other side of the wire in the audience room, may I have your attention, please? Thank you. Thank you, my name is Greg, Sergeant Matt, Greg, I'll explain the line up to you.
Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call off a number, then they'll name and charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoner as I call his name.
At the end of each line, when I ask for questions or identifications, call out the number. If you're sure enough to sure of the suspect, have you, Hal, the officers who took your name, will assist you, they'll see it among you.
Please be propped with your questions or identification. When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the washroom and dressed back into their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here.
