Thanks so much. For your support, Pete. But now from from May 8th, 1952, here is the big gamble.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
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 vice detail. A professional gambling ring has set up operations in your city. Dozens of citizens are being victimized. The gamblers keep on the move, changing their locations day to day. Your job? Get 'em.
Dragnet, 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 files. From beginning to end. From crime to punishment. Dragnet is the story of your police force in action.
It was Monday, February ninth. It was foggy in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of Vice Detail. My partner's Bill Lockwood, the boss's Lieutenant Bingham. My name's Friday. It was four twenty PM when I got to the second floor of the old central jail building. Vice detail.

Hi, Bill.

Does he look like he's off the lush? Yeah, he looks pretty good. Shaved, cleaned up a little. Fine. Dave, how are you? Oh, how are you, Friday? Thought I'd drop by and see you.

What is the premise of the Dragnet episode "The Big Gamble"?
You got some kind of a permanent address, Dave? Phone number. Some place we can contact you? No, I'm still floating around a little. Mm-hmm. Now about this thing we were talking about, what'd you hear? I picked up a little chatter, I think is what you want. So, you fellas had your coffee, I haven't had mine. What do you say? Okay, how about the place down the corner?
Fine with me. All right, you want to check us out, Bill? Tell 'em we'll be back in about ten minutes. Yeah, fine. Thank you. All right, Dave, we can go out this way.
Okay. You're looking pretty
good, Friday.
We're all treating you okay?
I can't complain, I guess. Go ahead.
Guess we'd better wait for your partner, huh? What's his name? Lockwin. Oh yes, sure. Skipper's got something for us when we get back, Joe. All right. You're looking pretty good yourself, Lockwood. Yeah, real good. You seem to be in pretty fair shape. That Parker fellow chain sounds
