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 lineup No

I'll let Ray know, Simon. I thought I'd never get here. So coming down? Oh, something fierce. And we can sit fine here. Sure. Yeah. How does this thing work anyway, Lieutenant? This lineup. Well, there's a sergeant now.

May 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. My name is Cogger, Sergeant Pete Cogger. I'll explain the lineup to you.

Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call up a number, their name and charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the of the prisoners 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 or not too sure of the suspect, have him help.

The questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tonal voice. They'll not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie. All right, bring on the line. Step it up, boys. That's right. Right over here at the end of the stage, keep it moving. That's right, right over here. Step it up.

I'm not turning all of it and face the screen. Keep your hands at your sides. Look straight ahead. Alright, number one, Jefferson Dyke Staff, possession of stolen goods. Right up there, Jeff. That's right. What do you live, Jeff?
