Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,971 --> 00:00:07,684
This is the city, Los
Angeles, California.
2
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:10,220
The city earns its
living mostly in retailing,
3
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:12,155
heavy industry, aerospace,
4
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:15,558
motion pictures, and television.
5
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:17,427
Just about everything
it needs to live on
6
00:00:17,451 --> 00:00:20,630
has to be brought in
from someplace else.
7
00:00:20,654 --> 00:00:21,865
Our water is piped down
8
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:24,368
from the Owens
Valley in the Sierras.
9
00:00:24,392 --> 00:00:26,470
Turn it off, and two
and a half million people
10
00:00:26,494 --> 00:00:29,806
start getting thirsty
inside of three days.
11
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:32,376
Our electric power is
produced at Hoover Dam.
12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,213
Stop that, and the city
goes dark in a split second.
13
00:00:36,237 --> 00:00:37,547
It's just about impossible
14
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:39,849
to be totally
self-sufficient these days.
15
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,252
There are ways of
feeling like you are.
16
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:45,555
Some of them are legal.
Some of them aren't.
17
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:47,790
When they're not,
then it becomes my job.
18
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:50,793
I carry a badge.
19
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:52,129
It was Wednesday, January 3rd.
20
00:00:52,153 --> 00:00:53,663
It was clear in Los Angeles.
21
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,432
We were working the night
watch out of Juvenile Division.
22
00:00:55,456 --> 00:00:58,035
The boss is Captain Jack Morris.
23
00:00:58,059 --> 00:01:02,339
My partner's Bill Gannon.
My name's Friday.
24
00:01:02,363 --> 00:01:04,874
We were responding
to a 459 call.
25
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:06,910
A grocery store had
just been burglarized
26
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:10,335
by a gang of juveniles.
27
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:20,657
The story you are
about to see is true.
28
00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:24,015
The names have been
changed to protect the innocent.
29
00:01:46,941 --> 00:01:48,952
Owner's name is Nat
Vollmer. He's in the washroom.
30
00:01:48,976 --> 00:01:50,921
He said he wanted to throw
some cold water on his face.
31
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:52,388
- Pretty shook up.
- What's the story?
32
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:53,690
We've only been here
a few minutes ourselves.
33
00:01:53,714 --> 00:01:55,425
Apparently, Vollmer
had closed up the store.
34
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,928
He came back a little less than
an hour ago and found them here.
35
00:01:57,952 --> 00:01:59,596
A bunch of juveniles,
he's sure of that.
36
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:01,765
They jumped him in here,
pushed him around pretty good.
37
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:02,833
Is he hurt?
38
00:02:02,857 --> 00:02:04,100
Roughed him up,
that's about all.
39
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:06,570
We haven't been able
to get much out of him.
40
00:02:06,594 --> 00:02:08,638
Mr. Vollmer, these men
are from Juvenile Division.
41
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:09,806
They want to talk to you.
42
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:12,609
Yeah, well, they could
be from the moon,
43
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:15,445
as far as I could
tell. I can't see them.
44
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:16,980
Wait a minute.
45
00:02:17,004 --> 00:02:18,281
I found them.
46
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:19,883
My partner and I'll
check around outside.
47
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:21,250
Would you put in a call to SID?
48
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:22,986
We already did, Sergeant.
49
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:26,490
This is Sergeant Friday.
My name's Gannon.
50
00:02:26,514 --> 00:02:27,924
Better than nothin'.
51
00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:31,027
I'm blind as a bat without them.
52
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:32,529
Ah, yes.
53
00:02:32,553 --> 00:02:34,464
I was pretty lucky
tonight at that, I guess.
54
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:36,867
Got my last customer out
of here around 5 after 9:00.
55
00:02:36,891 --> 00:02:38,301
Then you came
back. Is that right?
56
00:02:38,325 --> 00:02:40,570
- Yes, that's correct.
- What time was that?
57
00:02:40,594 --> 00:02:42,171
Oh, it must've
been close to 10:30.
58
00:02:42,195 --> 00:02:43,707
What it was, I generally
take three steaks
59
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:44,941
over to Lou, my brother.
60
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:46,242
Been doing that every so often
61
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:48,111
since I got this place
a couple of years ago.
62
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:49,746
Let him have the
meat wholesale, see.
63
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:52,516
- Three choice porterhouse.
- Yes, sir.
64
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:54,217
What I'm getting at is I
forgot Lou's steaks tonight,
65
00:02:54,241 --> 00:02:55,585
and I came back to get 'em.
66
00:02:55,609 --> 00:02:56,920
I'd just got them out
of the meat locker,
67
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:58,822
wrapped them up, when I
felt something was wrong.
68
00:02:58,846 --> 00:03:00,289
- Go on.
- I hadn't noticed before,
69
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:02,325
but that rear door
was slightly ajar.
70
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:04,594
Walked over to check it. I
could see a couple of kids
71
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:05,795
standing right
outside in the alley,
72
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:06,863
a fella and a girl.
73
00:03:06,887 --> 00:03:08,665
I hollered at them,
and they ducked.
74
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:10,500
Right then, these
other kids jumped me.
75
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,769
Must've been hiding behind
the cases by the door there.
76
00:03:12,793 --> 00:03:14,871
Pushed me around,
broke my glasses.
77
00:03:14,895 --> 00:03:16,940
What I think is they
heard me come in,
78
00:03:16,964 --> 00:03:18,141
and some of them got out,
79
00:03:18,165 --> 00:03:19,543
and the rest of them
couldn't make it,
80
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:21,611
and they're the ones that
jumped me, young hoodlums.
81
00:03:21,635 --> 00:03:23,046
How many of them were
there? Would you know?
82
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:24,614
Well, they knocked
my glasses off.
83
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:25,982
I really couldn't see.
84
00:03:26,006 --> 00:03:28,818
Some more came in...
8, 10 altogether, I'd guess.
85
00:03:28,842 --> 00:03:30,219
A bunch of nuts.
86
00:03:30,243 --> 00:03:31,788
They had what sounded
to me like a meeting.
87
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:32,889
What kind of meeting?
88
00:03:32,913 --> 00:03:34,457
Well, a meeting, you know.
89
00:03:34,481 --> 00:03:36,793
Talk, take a vote.
Yeah, they took a vote.
90
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:38,094
I couldn't follow it all.
91
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:39,696
Sounded like some of
them were for pulling out.
92
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,897
Some of them wanted to stay
93
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:42,532
and get the rest of
the stuff on the list,
94
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:43,934
and that's what
they finally did.
95
00:03:43,958 --> 00:03:46,002
- They said they had a list?
- Yeah.
96
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:47,537
Later on, I could hear
them checking the stuff off,
97
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:48,939
as they took it out.
98
00:03:48,963 --> 00:03:50,874
Peas, string beans, cake mixes,
99
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:52,909
candles, soda pop, and so on.
100
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:54,711
Just before they left,
one of them said to me,
101
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:56,412
"Don't get uptight, pops."
102
00:03:56,436 --> 00:03:58,081
Said they didn't
mean me any harm.
103
00:03:58,105 --> 00:03:59,649
One of them must've been
wearing some kind of bells.
104
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:01,952
I could hear them. Crazy!
105
00:04:01,976 --> 00:04:03,352
Can you describe any of them?
106
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,921
Well, they knocked
my glasses off so quick,
107
00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:06,422
I just couldn't see after that.
108
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:07,958
What about the
two you saw first?
109
00:04:07,982 --> 00:04:09,125
Can you describe them?
110
00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:10,560
Well, they looked about 16, 17.
111
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:13,496
The boy was average
height, kind of short, long hair.
112
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,264
The girl was dark,
dressed kind of odd,
113
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:16,733
one of those shawls or something
114
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,367
with a hole in the middle
they put their head through.
115
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,869
Did you hear any
names mentioned?
116
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:21,504
Charley, Clego.
117
00:04:21,528 --> 00:04:22,538
I heard that one
a couple of times.
118
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:25,408
Verna, Vernon,
something like that.
119
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,243
Did you notice if they
were driving a car?
120
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,678
They needed a truck
for the amount of stuff
121
00:04:28,702 --> 00:04:29,846
they took out of here.
122
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:31,915
I heard two engines
start when they left.
123
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:33,650
Looks like they might've
had a cable of some kind,
124
00:04:33,674 --> 00:04:34,985
wrapped it around
the bumper of the car
125
00:04:35,009 --> 00:04:36,620
and pulled that window
and grill right out.
126
00:04:36,644 --> 00:04:37,988
Anything else, Mr. Vollmer?
127
00:04:38,012 --> 00:04:39,689
Anything one of them
might've said maybe?
128
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:42,025
Well, two of them, men, boys,
129
00:04:42,049 --> 00:04:44,327
got in a sort of argument
standing right behind me.
130
00:04:44,351 --> 00:04:46,763
One of them said they'd used
force and violence against me,
131
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:47,897
and that was wrong.
132
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:51,034
Uh, morally
inexcusable, he called it.
133
00:04:51,058 --> 00:04:52,736
Then the other one
said, no, that they were,
134
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,438
uh, a sovereign
political body...
135
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,206
I'm pretty sure those
were the words he used...
136
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:58,341
And that they
had a perfect right
137
00:04:58,365 --> 00:04:59,976
to do anything in
their own self-defense.
138
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,045
- Now, what do you make of that?
- Hard to say.
139
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,180
And then the one said maybe
they ought to go through my pockets.
140
00:05:04,204 --> 00:05:05,915
I've got about $14 on me.
141
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:07,350
But the others
told him to forget it,
142
00:05:07,374 --> 00:05:09,385
and they were just gonna
stick to the stuff on the list.
143
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,355
- Anything else?
- Oh, one other thing.
144
00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:13,456
What's that, sir?
145
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,292
I noticed they
could've used a bath.
146
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:17,527
Can you give us a list
147
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,129
of the things that were
stolen, Mr. Vollmer?
148
00:05:19,153 --> 00:05:21,597
Well, that'd be pretty hard
without a good pair of glasses.
149
00:05:21,621 --> 00:05:22,966
I have a spare set at home.
150
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,367
I'll make it up for you
first thing in the morning,
151
00:05:24,391 --> 00:05:25,935
- if that'd be all right?
- Fine.
152
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,171
I looked around the block.
I talked to several people.
153
00:05:28,195 --> 00:05:29,906
Nobody noticed anything.
Picked this package up.
154
00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:31,240
- Yeah?
- Near the head of the alley.
155
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:33,043
Looks like somebody
just tossed it out.
156
00:05:33,067 --> 00:05:34,644
Has your store name
on it, Mr. Vollmer,
157
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:37,803
- on the paper tape.
- What's in it?
158
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:42,719
Three choice porterhouse.
159
00:05:42,743 --> 00:05:45,276
They just threw them away.
160
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:55,598
Thursday, January 4th, 4:15 p.m.
161
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:58,334
We met with the team from
Burglary-Auto Theft Division.
162
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:00,070
They told us, in
the past ten days,
163
00:06:00,094 --> 00:06:02,338
there had been two
burglaries using a similar MO
164
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,041
in widely-separated
parts of the city:
165
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:07,310
a hardware store,
and a drugstore.
166
00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:08,778
And, like Vollmer's Market,
167
00:06:08,802 --> 00:06:11,114
there were no
usable fingerprints.
168
00:06:11,138 --> 00:06:12,381
We obtained the DR numbers
169
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:13,883
and copies of the
lists of the articles
170
00:06:13,907 --> 00:06:18,254
that had been stolen
from the last two burglaries.
171
00:06:18,278 --> 00:06:20,423
5:20 p.m. Nat
Vollmer had sent over
172
00:06:20,447 --> 00:06:23,193
the results of his inventory.
173
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:27,396
Any narcotics on that drugstore
list we got from Burglary?
174
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:30,233
A roll of bandages, 1-inch,
roll of bandages, 2-inch,
175
00:06:30,257 --> 00:06:32,836
butterfly closures,
adhesive tape, antiseptics.
176
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,038
Looks like mostly
medicine cabinet stuff.
177
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:37,207
Triangular bandages,
elastic bandages,
178
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:39,342
suntan lotion...
a case of that...
179
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:41,510
Aspirin, eight
transistor radios,
180
00:06:41,534 --> 00:06:43,012
four cartons
transistor batteries,
181
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:44,914
12 flashlights, two cell,
182
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:48,451
four cartons D batteries,
four snakebite kits.
183
00:06:48,475 --> 00:06:51,955
Oh, here's one, codeine,
50 30-milligram tablets.
184
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:53,522
Don't see any hard
stuff outside of that.
185
00:06:53,546 --> 00:06:54,523
Yeah.
186
00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:56,860
A couple of antibiotics
and penicillin.
187
00:06:56,884 --> 00:06:59,262
Hardware store list:
four axes, two shovels,
188
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,030
two saws, six
hammers, two rakes,
189
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:02,999
two hoes, gardening stuff,
190
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:05,501
300 feet of
quarter-inch manila rope,
191
00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:07,336
some galvanized
chain, one butcher knife,
192
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,638
paring knives, spatulas,
193
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:10,473
cooking utensils, pots, pans,
194
00:07:10,497 --> 00:07:13,309
one kettle, one coffee
pot, four frying pans,
195
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:15,311
plastic plates, cups,
196
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:17,046
knives, folks, spoons.
197
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,982
Sounds like they're
planning a camping trip.
198
00:07:19,006 --> 00:07:21,484
Or an expedition.
Vollmer's list here.
199
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:23,019
They took 200
pounds of potatoes,
200
00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:24,020
50 pounds of onions,
201
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:25,321
string beans, eight cases,
202
00:07:25,345 --> 00:07:27,523
peas, eight cases,
chili, four cases,
203
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,525
spaghetti and
meatballs, four cases,
204
00:07:29,549 --> 00:07:31,427
canned corn beef, canned stew,
205
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,196
50 pounds of flour, sugar, salt,
206
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:34,798
pepper, a case of shortening,
207
00:07:34,822 --> 00:07:36,599
rice, macaroni, tea, coffee,
208
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:39,035
cocoa, canned
milk, powdered milk,
209
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:40,904
an assortment of
prepared cake mixes,
210
00:07:40,928 --> 00:07:42,272
and a case of canned icing.
211
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:43,773
Right here: three cake pans,
212
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,309
wire cooling racks,
one egg beater.
213
00:07:46,333 --> 00:07:48,111
- What do you figure?
- I wish I knew.
214
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,478
Two cases of cookies,
215
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:51,414
six cases of assorted candy,
216
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:54,350
five, 10, 13, 17... 22 cartons
217
00:07:54,374 --> 00:07:56,219
of various kinds of soft drinks.
218
00:07:56,243 --> 00:07:58,888
- Just the staples, Joe.
- Pretty good list.
219
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:00,356
They got just about everything.
220
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:02,859
No, not quite, and they've
had two shots at it, too:
221
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:04,027
the drugstore and the market.
222
00:08:04,051 --> 00:08:06,818
- What's that?
- Soap.
223
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,036
During the next 12 days,
224
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:15,538
there were two additional
burglaries using the same MO.
225
00:08:15,562 --> 00:08:17,373
The first was an
electrical supply house
226
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:19,008
in West Los Angeles,
227
00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:20,977
from which a gasoline-powered
portable generator
228
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:25,348
and several extension
cords had been stolen.
229
00:08:25,372 --> 00:08:27,817
The second was a discount
record store in North Hollywood,
230
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,219
from which two phonographs
231
00:08:29,243 --> 00:08:32,822
and 84 record albums were taken.
232
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:35,558
Both times, the method of
entry was through a back window.
233
00:08:35,582 --> 00:08:37,861
In each case, the
thieves apparently took
234
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:39,929
only those articles
they came for,
235
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,565
and they ignored
anything else of value.
236
00:08:42,589 --> 00:08:46,802
There was no additional
evidence or eyewitnesses.
237
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,538
Thursday, January
18th, 10:45 p.m.
238
00:08:49,562 --> 00:08:51,341
The paperwork on
the series of burglaries
239
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:53,042
was beginning to pile up.
240
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,710
How're you getting
along there, Joe?
241
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:56,079
All right.
242
00:08:56,103 --> 00:08:58,248
I suppose you're using the
same words we always do:
243
00:08:58,272 --> 00:08:59,815
proceed, suspect vehicle,
244
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,251
scene of occurrence, notify,
245
00:09:01,275 --> 00:09:02,986
inform, like that.
246
00:09:03,010 --> 00:09:05,321
- What else?
- Makes a dull report, Joe.
247
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:07,123
Well, we're not supposed
to be writing literature.
248
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:09,058
- Sign of atrophy, too.
- What?
249
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:11,594
I said atrophy, Joe. I
meant it in the sense of
250
00:09:11,618 --> 00:09:14,130
a wasting away of
the mental process.
251
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:16,799
- Thanks.
- Your mind's no better
than the symbols you use.
252
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:19,202
Keep using the same
ones over and over again,
253
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:21,037
and your mind's
bound to waste away.
254
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:23,373
Lack of use,
basic law of nature.
255
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:24,908
It's not too late
for you, though.
256
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:27,277
Dozens of ways to say
the same things in here,
257
00:09:27,301 --> 00:09:28,644
but with little
shifts in meaning,
258
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,546
greater precision, new words.
259
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,282
I'm expanding my mind, Joe.
260
00:09:32,306 --> 00:09:34,450
- Is that so?
- Pejorative.
261
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:36,152
Now, there's a good
one I encountered.
262
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:37,887
Normally, I would
say came across.
263
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:38,988
See what I mean?
264
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:41,190
- Yeah.
- That's a Thesaurus, Joe.
265
00:09:41,214 --> 00:09:42,392
I know. I've seen them.
266
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:43,626
Just waiting for a
case to come along
267
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:45,728
where I can drop
pejorative into the report.
268
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:48,519
- Try obfuscate.
- Say, I like that one!
269
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:55,271
Confuse, muddle, not very clear.
270
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:57,407
Funny.
271
00:09:57,431 --> 00:10:00,043
- Sergeant Friday?
- That's right.
272
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:01,844
- Wilson, Central Division.
- Yeah, Wilson?
273
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:03,712
The lieutenant said you
were working this case.
274
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:05,114
We picked up
three kids in a truck
275
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:07,016
in the back of a sporting
goods store on Broadway.
276
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,851
They're bringing them
up now. Sure a lot of stuff.
277
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:11,120
- Yeah?
- 14 sleeping bags,
278
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:13,656
14 air mattresses,
ground cloths, parkas,
279
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,325
cook stoves, four rifles,
280
00:10:15,349 --> 00:10:17,160
about 200 rounds of ammunition.
281
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:20,551
We found this on the
back bumper of their car.
282
00:10:38,105 --> 00:10:40,516
The suspects
identified themselves
283
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:43,652
as Dennis J. Meldon,
Charles L. Vail,
284
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:45,188
and Paul Seever.
285
00:10:45,212 --> 00:10:47,523
They were advised of
their constitutional rights.
286
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:49,125
Their parents were notified.
287
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,961
Charles Vail and Paul
Seever were from Fresno.
288
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:54,330
Both their fathers said
they would fly to Los Angeles
289
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:55,865
the following morning.
290
00:10:55,889 --> 00:10:58,868
We first interrogated the boys
separately without success.
291
00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:00,302
11:40 p.m.
292
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:02,739
We began questioning
all three of them together.
293
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:04,774
These were found on
the floor of the truck.
294
00:11:04,798 --> 00:11:08,577
Those are mine. Asparagus seeds.
295
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:10,046
I bought 'em and paid for 'em.
296
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:12,281
I suppose you're gonna
make a federal case out of it.
297
00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:13,349
I talked to Vollmer.
298
00:11:13,373 --> 00:11:14,617
He wants to come
down in the morning.
299
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:16,252
I said it'd be all
right. Who's that?
300
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,221
He owns a grocery
store that was burglarized.
301
00:11:18,245 --> 00:11:19,555
He saw two of the kids.
302
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:21,057
And you're gonna let
him take a look at us?
303
00:11:21,081 --> 00:11:22,691
- That's right.
- It'd be a waste of time.
304
00:11:22,715 --> 00:11:23,860
Well, we've got lots of it.
305
00:11:23,884 --> 00:11:25,394
Tell us about the
sporting goods store.
306
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:27,196
Oh, that ought to be
obvious, even to you,
307
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,165
especially after the other
fuzz told you all about it.
308
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,033
- You tell us.
- Who were the other kids?
309
00:11:31,057 --> 00:11:33,002
The arresting officer said
there were at least six others.
310
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,371
You were driving the truck.
You blocked the alley with it.
311
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:37,974
The rest of them got away
in a blue '64 Pontiac sedan.
312
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:39,275
Oh, now we both know.
313
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:42,044
You stole 14 sleeping
bags and 14 air mattresses.
314
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:43,312
What were you
gonna do with them?
315
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,181
Now, look, I'll save
you some trouble.
316
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:47,083
We're not gonna tell you
anything you don't already know,
317
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:48,785
and we're not gonna tell you
anything about anybody else.
318
00:11:48,809 --> 00:11:50,153
Is that right?
319
00:11:50,177 --> 00:11:51,788
You'd turn blue before
you get anything out of us.
320
00:11:51,812 --> 00:11:53,956
Paul, Charles, I
talked to your parents.
321
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:55,691
- Yeah?
- Yeah, so?
322
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:57,359
They say you haven't
been home for two months.
323
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:58,594
Where have you been staying?
324
00:11:58,618 --> 00:11:59,829
I've been staying with him.
325
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:01,197
- Where's that?
- Around.
326
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:02,965
- Where's your pad?
- The world...
327
00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:06,035
The universal refuge of
human kindness and love.
328
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,070
- That's some address.
- The best.
329
00:12:08,094 --> 00:12:09,371
A little tough
getting mail, isn't it?
330
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:10,873
Your parents are
worried about you.
331
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:12,775
- So?
- You're not concerned?
332
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,044
I can give you the
whole bit, word-for-word.
333
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,279
I wrote to 'em.
334
00:12:16,303 --> 00:12:17,880
Used one of those
mail forwarding services
335
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,048
you see in the ads.
336
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,283
I don't see why
they're so worried.
337
00:12:20,307 --> 00:12:21,984
What do they call
you? Charlie, Chuck?
338
00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:24,653
The old man calls me
Chuck. I like Charlie.
339
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:27,056
It was kind of amusing,
watching you guys.
340
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,257
That right?
341
00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:29,959
You try to act friendly,
get in with us, con us.
342
00:12:29,983 --> 00:12:31,260
It's pretty clumsy, though.
343
00:12:31,284 --> 00:12:34,263
Think so? Who's Clego?
344
00:12:34,287 --> 00:12:35,798
Was Vernon with you tonight?
345
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:37,566
I don't know. He didn't say.
346
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:39,335
All right, come
on down and land.
347
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:40,837
You people are
in big trouble here.
348
00:12:40,861 --> 00:12:42,338
We've got you made
on this hardware store,
349
00:12:42,362 --> 00:12:43,339
and you know what that can mean.
350
00:12:43,363 --> 00:12:45,441
We thought about
this possibility.
351
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:46,675
We expect the power structure's
352
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:49,011
gonna try to
retaliate against us.
353
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:50,379
It'll delay things, of course.
354
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:53,049
But not much, and
it's not gonna stop it.
355
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:55,117
It's gonna happen
with or without us.
356
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:57,486
- What's gonna happen?
- I don't think I'll tell you.
357
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:58,888
Where'd you get the truck?
358
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,189
- I borrowed it.
- You mean you stole it.
359
00:13:00,213 --> 00:13:01,423
No, borrowed is the word.
360
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:03,425
The registered owner
is James B. Perkins.
361
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:04,961
Have you borrowed
it from him before?
362
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:06,295
- Yeah.
- How often?
363
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:08,297
As often as we needed it.
364
00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:10,233
Perk's one of the good folks.
365
00:13:10,257 --> 00:13:11,567
Perk's all right.
366
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:14,103
The usual distortion of
social values, no perception.
367
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:15,504
Perception of what?
368
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:17,528
If you have to ask, pops,
you ain't got any either.
369
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:20,309
What were you going to
do with the rifles you stole?
370
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:21,244
Well, shoot 'em, man.
371
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:22,979
- At what?
- Not at people.
372
00:13:23,003 --> 00:13:25,714
I know how your minds
work. You're conditioned.
373
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:28,050
We've rejected the
concept of violence.
374
00:13:28,074 --> 00:13:30,987
Except sometimes, like
pushing an old man around.
375
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:33,389
We were just gonna
shoot animals, goats, pigs,
376
00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:34,390
that sort of thing.
377
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:35,591
Do you know how
to handle a rifle?
378
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,059
- That's right.
- You have guns at home?
379
00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:39,061
- No, I learned.
- Where did you learn?
380
00:13:39,085 --> 00:13:40,496
I learned, man. I
learned, that's all.
381
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,730
- All right, huh?
- That's all.
382
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:43,832
No more dialog. We
don't have to talk to you.
383
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:45,268
We've got rights, even here.
384
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:47,270
- Especially here.
- You'd better believe it.
385
00:13:47,294 --> 00:13:48,905
- How about other people?
- Huh?
386
00:13:48,929 --> 00:13:49,906
Do they have rights?
387
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:50,907
Well, like, who do you mean?
388
00:13:50,931 --> 00:13:52,208
Like the people you stole from.
389
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:53,242
Well, ours are more important.
390
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:54,643
How do you figure?
391
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,312
Well, because we're
right, and they're wrong.
392
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:59,382
They're rotten! The
whole society is, all of ya.
393
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:01,884
Rights? Don't make me sick.
394
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,519
Ah, yeah, there's a lot
of talk about 'em, sure,
395
00:14:03,543 --> 00:14:05,087
but what's going on?
What are people doing?
396
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:08,157
That's what counts.
Corruption, hypocrisy.
397
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:09,558
You say one thing out of
the corner of your mouth
398
00:14:09,582 --> 00:14:10,659
and then turn right around
399
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:11,994
and do whatever
you can get away with,
400
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:14,363
as long as it pays,
huh? Look around!
401
00:14:14,387 --> 00:14:15,731
You wouldn't see it, would you.
402
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:18,167
Nah, you're part of it. You
helped make it that way.
403
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,937
Poverty, oppression,
moral bankruptcy,
404
00:14:20,961 --> 00:14:23,572
aggression,
suppression, the ghettos.
405
00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:25,908
And what happens when people
try and demand their rights, huh?
406
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:27,176
You hit them over the head!
407
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,744
And now you take what's
going on in Vietnam.
408
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:33,049
If that doesn't turn
your stomach...
409
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:36,518
Well, we have renounced
your whole, lousy,
410
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,188
materialistic society.
You're wrong!
411
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,357
Now, how does that grab
you, Mr. High and Mighty Fuzz?
412
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:42,992
Not much.
413
00:14:43,016 --> 00:14:45,027
- Who's gonna run the boat?
- What boat?
414
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:46,662
Well, there aren't any
pigs or goats around here,
415
00:14:46,686 --> 00:14:48,397
except on some of
the offshore islands.
416
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:50,132
In the next few days,
this bunch you run with
417
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:51,500
is gonna have to steal
a boat, aren't they?
418
00:14:51,524 --> 00:14:52,701
You think you've
got it all worked out,
419
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,770
don't you, Sherlock?
Well, you don't.
420
00:14:54,794 --> 00:14:57,306
What's involved here
is a concept so pure,
421
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:59,208
so sophisticated
in its simplicity,
422
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:00,542
that you'd never understand it.
423
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,278
You just don't communicate, man!
424
00:15:02,302 --> 00:15:03,745
Yeah, well, I
understand one thing.
425
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:06,182
You'd better start communicating
with us and right now,
426
00:15:06,206 --> 00:15:07,450
because when you
come up for a hearing,
427
00:15:07,474 --> 00:15:08,817
no judge is gonna take the time
428
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,219
to listen to all your wise talk.
429
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:12,021
Now, it's your choice. You
want to do it the hard way?
430
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:13,555
That's fine. Let's
quit for the night.
431
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:14,923
I'm getting bored.
432
00:15:14,947 --> 00:15:16,492
You wouldn't be so
bored if you'd understand.
433
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:17,726
Understand what?
434
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,195
That you're a bunch of
young would-be toughs
435
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:21,163
that'd still be on
a stealing spree
436
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:23,065
if you hadn't been caught?
What's there to understand?
437
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:25,067
- Tell him.
- You know we took an oath.
438
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:26,602
I, for one, don't
want to be considered
439
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:29,438
a common garden variety thief.
440
00:15:29,462 --> 00:15:31,907
What we're doing
is above all that.
441
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,942
I say we tell him and
straighten him out.
442
00:15:33,966 --> 00:15:35,311
Yeah, might be better.
443
00:15:35,335 --> 00:15:36,545
Why don't you tell
'em why, Charlie?
444
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:39,048
Oh, we come down
here, Paul and me.
445
00:15:39,072 --> 00:15:40,682
I mean, I couldn't take
it at school anymore.
446
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:42,051
School.
447
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:44,586
Now, there's a real
conveyor belt of conformity.
448
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,222
And my family, no values.
449
00:15:46,246 --> 00:15:48,357
You talk about poverty
of the spirit? Man!
450
00:15:48,381 --> 00:15:49,858
And so we come here
looking for something.
451
00:15:49,882 --> 00:15:51,860
We found Denny
and these other kids.
452
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:54,030
They're just like
us, the same ideas,
453
00:15:54,054 --> 00:15:55,531
and I mean, they're
beautiful people,
454
00:15:55,555 --> 00:15:56,899
and we can talk to 'em.
455
00:15:56,923 --> 00:15:58,734
We cut right through
all the false values.
456
00:15:58,758 --> 00:16:01,603
So we drew up a
compact, an agreement,
457
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,139
and it says it all
there in the beginning.
458
00:16:03,163 --> 00:16:05,474
"We do hereby freely
bind ourselves in love,
459
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:06,642
"each one to the other,
460
00:16:06,666 --> 00:16:08,210
"and dedicate ourselves
to the attainment
461
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:10,446
"of freedom of expression
without qualification,
462
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:11,880
"for the human spirit,
463
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:13,849
and to the total renunciation
of material values."
464
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:16,785
- Beginning to make sense?
- Not so far.
465
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,155
Man, we've organized
a new society,
466
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,590
a new order of
things, a perfect order,
467
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,392
and the key to it is
getting rid of materialism.
468
00:16:23,416 --> 00:16:26,095
Nobody owns anything.
Everybody owns everything.
469
00:16:26,119 --> 00:16:28,431
Who else is in this with
you? End of the line.
470
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:30,199
Where do you plan
to set up this Utopia?
471
00:16:30,223 --> 00:16:31,700
- We've got a place.
- Where?
472
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:32,935
I can't tell you that.
473
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:34,236
You've got it all worked out.
474
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,372
That's right, a perfect
form of government.
475
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:37,739
Nobody's ever made it work.
476
00:16:37,763 --> 00:16:39,075
- We will.
- No, you won't.
477
00:16:39,099 --> 00:16:40,142
Why not?
478
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,032
You haven't got perfect people.
479
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:12,040
You recognize this?
480
00:17:12,064 --> 00:17:13,542
We're aware you confiscated it.
481
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:15,043
After you tried to steal it.
482
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:16,278
If you want to be technical.
483
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:18,414
Along with three others.
Do something for me.
484
00:17:18,438 --> 00:17:19,582
What's that?
485
00:17:19,606 --> 00:17:21,550
Show me where the
safety is. No, never mind.
486
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:22,785
I'll hold it. You
just point it out.
487
00:17:22,809 --> 00:17:26,188
Show me where it is.
488
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:27,256
You?
489
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,657
Well, I'd have to look it over.
490
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:31,761
How about you?
491
00:17:31,785 --> 00:17:34,029
You're gonna start running
around this new Utopia of yours
492
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:35,398
with four high-powered rifles,
493
00:17:35,422 --> 00:17:36,999
and you don't know
where the safety is.
494
00:17:37,023 --> 00:17:38,333
Well, it wouldn't be
hard to figure out.
495
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:39,735
You're really gonna have a ball
496
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,537
setting up this new
country of yours, aren't you?
497
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,972
Lying around, listening to
the radio and the phonograph,
498
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:45,307
eating whenever
you feel like it.
499
00:17:45,331 --> 00:17:46,975
All of you are city kids.
500
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,611
Great chance of
somebody getting hurt,
501
00:17:48,635 --> 00:17:50,880
liable to break a leg,
take off a foot with an ax,
502
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:53,783
- get shot.
- Man, you're outta sight.
503
00:17:53,807 --> 00:17:56,519
Somebody's gonna get
sick... Bad cooking, dirty pans.
504
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:58,587
That many kids, it'll
happen sooner or later.
505
00:17:58,611 --> 00:17:59,822
Yeah, we thought of that.
506
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:02,057
Oh, yeah, you have
penicillin, don't you?
507
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:03,058
Well, that's what it's for.
508
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,460
You ever hear of
penicillin shock?
509
00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:06,128
Happens in maybe
one case out of ten,
510
00:18:06,152 --> 00:18:07,129
something like that.
511
00:18:07,153 --> 00:18:08,697
Can kill you in a
matter of minutes.
512
00:18:08,721 --> 00:18:10,299
Look, don't give me
that "might happen"
513
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:11,967
or "liable to" jazz, huh?
514
00:18:11,991 --> 00:18:13,636
People have gone
off and made it before,
515
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:14,737
plenty of them,
516
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:16,238
going all the way
back to the Pilgrims.
517
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,541
They had a few things
going for them that you don't.
518
00:18:18,565 --> 00:18:20,042
They knew how to
hunt, how to use an ax,
519
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:22,311
how to build a house,
start a fire without matches
520
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:24,279
and bank it at night
so it wouldn't go out.
521
00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:25,614
You know how to
do all that, of course,
522
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:27,416
and you're gonna grow this.
523
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,518
Uh, yeah, I really
dig fresh asparagus.
524
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:30,453
When do you think you'll eat it?
525
00:18:30,477 --> 00:18:31,454
Well, this summer.
526
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:33,756
Asparagus takes two years.
527
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,158
The Pilgrims could raise
their own food, which you can't.
528
00:18:36,182 --> 00:18:38,661
And even so, half of
them died the first year.
529
00:18:38,685 --> 00:18:40,463
But you prepared for
that, too, didn't you?
530
00:18:40,487 --> 00:18:41,664
I don't know what you mean.
531
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:43,866
You've got shovels.
All right, so big deal.
532
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:45,468
We're not the
frontiersmen of all time,
533
00:18:45,492 --> 00:18:47,436
but Denny and Paul,
these are very bright people,
534
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,538
intelligent and mature.
And high principled.
535
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:50,606
That's right.
536
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,074
What was that one
about materialism?
537
00:18:52,098 --> 00:18:54,510
- We reject material values.
- Oh, yeah.
538
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:56,345
What are you gonna do
when the batteries run down?
539
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:57,480
We've got a generator.
540
00:18:57,504 --> 00:18:58,747
And when there's no more gas?
541
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:00,483
Okay, so we don't
listen to the radios.
542
00:19:00,507 --> 00:19:02,585
- That's not vital.
- But food is...
543
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:04,854
And you're gonna run out
of it sooner than you think.
544
00:19:04,878 --> 00:19:07,189
Then you figure you'll
start eating wild goat.
545
00:19:07,213 --> 00:19:08,357
Well, it's not prime rib,
546
00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:10,025
but maybe you'll
acquire a taste for it.
547
00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:11,861
You'd better, three times a day.
548
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:13,762
What do you do when
you run out of ammunition?
549
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:14,897
We'll figure it out.
550
00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:16,398
Or haven't you
thought that far ahead?
551
00:19:16,422 --> 00:19:17,600
I hope you have,
because if you haven't,
552
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:18,901
you'll starve to death.
553
00:19:18,925 --> 00:19:20,903
Unless you can explain
to me how you'll make it
554
00:19:20,927 --> 00:19:23,672
without $4,000 of
somebody else's property,
555
00:19:23,696 --> 00:19:25,574
then I'd call that
pretty material.
556
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:29,845
Where does that
leave your principles?
557
00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:31,313
Well, come on. We're listening.
558
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:33,782
The only principle you've
rejected is paying for it,
559
00:19:33,806 --> 00:19:35,651
and that makes you
just what you're afraid
560
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:38,086
you'll be called: common
garden variety thieves.
561
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:41,023
You just don't understand.
Maybe we do, son.
562
00:19:41,047 --> 00:19:42,357
Don't think you have a corner
563
00:19:42,381 --> 00:19:44,326
on all the virtue
vision in the country,
564
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,428
or that everybody
else is fat and selfish,
565
00:19:46,452 --> 00:19:48,030
and you're the first
generation to come along
566
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:51,366
that's felt dissatisfied.
They all have, you know?
567
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,235
About different things,
and most of them didn't have
568
00:19:53,259 --> 00:19:55,671
the same opportunity
and freedoms that you do.
569
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:57,239
Let's talk poverty.
570
00:19:57,263 --> 00:19:59,074
Most places in the
world, that's not a problem.
571
00:19:59,098 --> 00:20:01,276
It's a way of life. And rights?
572
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,745
They're liable to
give you a blank stare,
573
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:04,980
because they may not know
what you're talking about.
574
00:20:05,004 --> 00:20:07,783
The fact is, more people
are living better right here
575
00:20:07,807 --> 00:20:10,052
than anywhere else
ever before in history.
576
00:20:10,076 --> 00:20:11,887
So, don't expect us to
roll over and play dead
577
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,822
when you say
you're dissatisfied.
578
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:16,559
It's not perfect, but it's a great
deal better than when we grew up.
579
00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:18,093
A hundred men
standing in the street
580
00:20:18,117 --> 00:20:19,595
hoping for one job,
581
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:21,463
selling apples on
the street corner.
582
00:20:21,487 --> 00:20:23,198
That's one of the things
we were dissatisfied about,
583
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,067
and you don't see
that much anymore.
584
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:27,770
You're taller, stronger,
healthier, better educated,
585
00:20:27,794 --> 00:20:30,039
and you'll live longer
than the last generation,
586
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:32,074
and we don't think
that's altogether bad.
587
00:20:32,098 --> 00:20:33,842
You've probably never
seen a quarantine sign
588
00:20:33,866 --> 00:20:35,410
in your neighbor's
door: diphtheria,
589
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:37,145
scarlet fever, whooping cough.
590
00:20:37,169 --> 00:20:39,715
Probably none of your
classmates are crippled with polio.
591
00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:42,785
You don't see many
mastoid scars anymore.
592
00:20:42,809 --> 00:20:45,220
We've done quite a bit of
fighting all around the world.
593
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:46,722
Whether you think
it was moral or not,
594
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,757
a lot of people are free today
to make their own mistakes
595
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:51,760
because of it, and that
may just include you.
596
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,161
I don't know.
597
00:20:53,185 --> 00:20:54,863
Maybe part of it's the
fact that you're in a hurry.
598
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:57,399
You've grown up on
instant orange juice.
599
00:20:57,423 --> 00:20:59,401
Flip a dial, instant
entertainment.
600
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:02,170
Dial seven digits,
instant communication.
601
00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:04,673
Turn a key, push a pedal,
instant transportation.
602
00:21:04,697 --> 00:21:06,709
Flash a card, instant money.
603
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:08,343
Shove in a problem,
push a few buttons,
604
00:21:08,367 --> 00:21:10,178
instant answers.
605
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:12,447
But some problems you
can't get quick answers to,
606
00:21:12,471 --> 00:21:14,349
no matter how much you want 'em.
607
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:16,952
We took a little boy into Central
Receiving Hospital yesterday.
608
00:21:16,976 --> 00:21:18,253
He was 4 years old.
609
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,455
He weighs eight
and a half pounds.
610
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:22,992
His parents just haven't
bothered to feed him.
611
00:21:23,016 --> 00:21:25,193
Now, give me a fast
answer to that one,
612
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:27,830
one that'll stop that from
ever happening again.
613
00:21:27,854 --> 00:21:28,897
And if you can't
settle that one,
614
00:21:28,921 --> 00:21:30,365
what about the 55,000 Americans
615
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:32,367
who will die on the
highways this year?
616
00:21:32,391 --> 00:21:34,436
That's nearly six or
seven times the number
617
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:36,438
that'll get killed in Vietnam.
618
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,073
Why aren't you up
in arms about that?
619
00:21:38,097 --> 00:21:40,509
Or is dying in a car
somehow moral?
620
00:21:40,533 --> 00:21:42,511
Tell me how to
wipe out prejudice.
621
00:21:42,535 --> 00:21:43,846
I'll settle for just
the prejudices
622
00:21:43,870 --> 00:21:45,948
you have inside yourselves.
623
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:47,983
Show me how to get rid
of the unlimited capacity
624
00:21:48,007 --> 00:21:49,685
for human beings to
make themselves believe
625
00:21:49,709 --> 00:21:51,754
that they're somehow
right and justified
626
00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:54,823
in stealing from somebody
or hurting somebody,
627
00:21:54,847 --> 00:21:57,626
and you'll just about put this
place here out of business.
628
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:58,994
Don't think that
we're telling you
629
00:21:59,018 --> 00:22:01,396
to lose your ideals or
your sense of outrage.
630
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:03,365
They're the only way
things ever get done,
631
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:05,333
and there's a lot
that still needs doing,
632
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:06,835
and we hope you'll tackle it.
633
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:08,236
You don't have to
do anything dramatic
634
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:10,205
like trying to come up
with a better country.
635
00:22:10,229 --> 00:22:12,808
You can find enough to
keep you busy right here.
636
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:15,044
While you're at it,
don't break things up
637
00:22:15,068 --> 00:22:16,278
in the name of progress,
638
00:22:16,302 --> 00:22:18,213
or crack a placard stick
over somebody's head
639
00:22:18,237 --> 00:22:19,614
to help him see the light.
640
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:21,383
Be careful of his rights,
641
00:22:21,407 --> 00:22:22,985
because your property,
and your person,
642
00:22:23,009 --> 00:22:24,987
and your rights aren't
any better than his,
643
00:22:25,011 --> 00:22:27,222
and next time, you
may be the one to get it.
644
00:22:27,246 --> 00:22:30,292
We remember a man
who killed 6 million people
645
00:22:30,316 --> 00:22:32,394
and called it social
improvement.
646
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:33,762
So hang in.
647
00:22:33,786 --> 00:22:35,497
Don't try to build
a new country.
648
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:36,965
Make the old one work.
649
00:22:36,989 --> 00:22:40,703
It has for over 400 years,
and by the world's standards,
650
00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:42,693
that's hardly more
than yesterday.
651
00:22:51,204 --> 00:22:52,480
Now, we want the
names of the rest
652
00:22:52,504 --> 00:22:53,716
who were in this with you,
653
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:54,883
and we want to know
where you've stashed
654
00:22:54,907 --> 00:22:57,652
all the things you've stolen.
655
00:22:57,676 --> 00:23:02,958
Okay, but it was
a beautiful notion.
656
00:23:02,982 --> 00:23:04,626
That's about all I can say.
657
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:07,985
Yeah, son, that's
about all you can say.
658
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:47,335
The court sustained
the allegations
659
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,270
that the subjects had
committed burglary,
660
00:23:49,294 --> 00:23:50,972
and with the other
members of the gang,
661
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:53,442
had conspired to
commit burglary.
662
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:55,811
The subjects had no
history of delinquency
663
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:57,813
and were referred to
the Probation Department
664
00:23:57,837 --> 00:24:01,738
for rehabilitative programs.
