A warning in terms of sound quality, particularly with Dragnet, I feel like most of the Dragnet episodes, we've gotten a lot better versions, higher sound quality.
This one really does feel like the sort of quality I was dealing with 19 years ago when we started the old time Dragnet. Program. But still very listenable here from June nineteenth, nineteen fifty-two. It's the big jewels.
The story you were about to hear is The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a narcotics detail. A steady supply of high grade narcotics is finding its way into your city. For two months you've been trying to run down the source. The first real break finally comes. Your job? Check it out.
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 Thursday, October 8th. It was hot in Los Angeles. We were working a day watch out of narcotics detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Kearney. My name's Friday. It was 4.05 p.m. when I got to 318 West First Street, the first floor. Narcotics detail. Joe? Hi, Frank. You all threw up in court, I think? Yeah, I went to the jury. I don't think he'll be out long. Well, I hope they hook him this time. He's overdue. I don't see how they can miss. You can't tell, though. Never know what a jury's gonna do. Yeah. What do you got here? Following a car brought him in about a half hour ago. Pretty high. What's he shooting? H. Anything on him? Two cats. Had him taped inside the collar of his shirt. Crime lab analyzed it.
Same stuff we've been chasing, European high grade. Mm hmm. He came up with anything? Nothing. He talks a lot, but he didn't say anything. Why don't you take him on? I'll give it a try. Mr. Jennings? This is my partner, Sergeant Friday. Well, how do you do, sir? Sure. Happy to know you, Sergeant. Have a chair. Yeah, thank you. Cigarette? Yeah, I don't mind if I do. I give you a life. Thank you. By the way, Sergeant, if you have any influence around here at all, I'd sure appreciate it if you tell this young fellow here to relax. He worries too much. Keeps telling me there's something wrong. Well, isn't there, Mr. Jennings? Well, no, of course not. It's not that I don't enjoy the boys' company, but I've got an appointment.
A very important one, eleven o'clock this morning. That's so? Yes, very important. I have to be there at eleven sharp. A little late, aren't you? It's past four in the afternoon. Oh no, it couldn't be. Clock on the wall right behind you. Hmm? Well, what do you know about that?
