All language subtitles for Dragnet S03E06 Homicide (DR-06).DVDRip.NonHI.cc.en

This is the city, Los
Angeles, California.

With 280,000 cats

and over a quarter
of a million dogs,

it's a city with a
love for animals.

If you don't have one at
home, you can visit the zoo.

There are 900 species
here from all over the world.

In the heart of the
city is a memorial

to prehistoric Los Angeles.

You can walk among the
first inhabitants of the basin,

the saber tooth tiger,
the giant mastodon.

They roamed this
land long before man.

Now, they're extinct,
unable to survive

within nature's
delicate balance.

Some people try to
upset today's balance.

When they do I go to work.

I carry a badge.

The story you are
about to see is true.

The names have been
changed to protect the innocent.

It was Friday, June 28. It
was warm in Los Angeles.

We were working the
day, watch out a homicide.

The boss is Captain Brown.

My partner is Bill Gannon.

My name is Friday.
It was 4:35 p.m.

We had spent the afternoon
on the first progress report

of a homicide involving
a male Caucasian.

His body had been
found in an alley

behind the 5th Street barroom.

So far we had no identification,
no witnesses, no leads.

How many customers in that bar?

- Nine.
- Check your notes. I got 10.

Maybe you counted
the bartender, Joe.

- Nine customers.
- Yeah, that's what I did.

It wouldn't make
much difference.

- Why? Maybe he'd be the one who
wasn't deaf.
- Huh?

Well, now, somebody dumped
a body into that alley, didn't they?

Judging from the tire
marks, the car skidded.

From the condition of
those metal trash cans,

looks like the car
slammed into them.

Yeah, that's got
to make a racket.

The alley gate was
open so how come

none of those people
heard anything?

Deaf, drunk, or lying.

Deaf and drunk we can prove.

Yeah, well, we can
start the legwork Monday.

Gannon, pick up 3-2.

It's your wife.

Thanks.

- Anything Eileen
can do to help, Joe?
- What?

With dinner. That's
why she's calling.

You know why she's
calling before you talk to her?

Nothing mysterious about that.

Is that right?

Just hang on a minute, dear.

Look, Joe, for the first time in
all the years we've known you,

you're having us over to
your place for dinner, right?

Yeah, but we've been to
a restaurant a few times.

That's not the point.

You're entertaining us
in your own apartment.

Naturally, Eileen is worried.

She's worried?

That's right, more
than if it was her party.

It's just the way women are.

You never really know much
about women until you marry one.

I know enough not to
keep them waiting too long.

No, you don't.

You didn't mind my keeping
you waiting, did you, dear?

That's what I thought. Hi!

Yeah?

I don't think so.

Yeah, I'll ask him.

Eileen wants to know if there's
anything she can do to help.

No, not a thing.

He says not a thing.

Yeah, I know but that's
what the man says.

Well, maybe you
better talk to him.

Hello, Eileen.

Well, that's very nice of you,

but it's not going to be
all that fancy, you know?

No, I'll just burn some steaks
and throw a salad together.

No, dessert is all
taken care of too.

A lady friend of
mine is bringing that.

No, I don't think so.

Her name is Charlotte Page.

Mm-hmm. Well, we should be
leaving here in about 10 minutes.

Okay, I'll tell him, but he
probably already knows.

Eileen says she'll meet us in...

Lobby of the Biltmore Hotel.

You know, I don't even know
why you bother with the telephone.

My wife and I don't keep
any secrets from each other

and that's more than I can say

- for my partner.
- What do you mean by that?

You might have said
there'd be somebody else.

Well, I just thought it'd be
nice to make it a foursome.

You could have
given us a little notice.

Well, what's the difference?

I'd worn my other suit.

That's what's the difference

or had Eileen bring
me a fresh shirt.

Well, you look all right to me.

To you, yeah. I'm stuck now.

Well, tell you what we'd better
do is lay out a new schedule.

Why? What's the
matter with the old one?

Well, for one thing you have
to pick up your girl, don't you?

No, she doesn't
get off work till 5:30.

She'll meet us at the apartment.

- What do you figure,
six o'clock?
- About that.

Okay. Now, if you don't bother

coming over to the
Biltmore with me.

Well, that's no bother.

Well, it certainly is.

It's a duplication
of effort is all.

Let's say I meet Eileen at 5:10.

We'd kill a little time

then a leisurely drive will
get us over to your place

at 6:00, okay?

Sounds all right.

That gives you a good half hour

- to get organized.
- Okay.

Anything we can do to
help, Joe? Anything at all.

I don't know what it'd be.

Well, let's not
risk any step-ups.

If there's anything we can
do to make this a real success,

you just have to mention it.

No, all taken care of.

Okay, Joe. Good luck to you.

Friday, Gannon,

looks like we need
a shooting team.

- Who's up?
- We are, Captain.

Warehouse burglary
on South Santa Fe.

The suspect is barricaded.
Shots have been fired.

- Officers involved?
- It looks that way.

You got anything on for tonight?

No, sir. Nothing special.

You might have now.

Well, we'd better
make our phone calls.

You go ahead, Joe.

Aren't you going to call Eileen?

Joe, we are meeting in the
lobby of the Biltmore Hotel.

You can have her paged.

She won't be there yet.

I thought you were supposed

to meet her at 10 after 5:00?

- That's right.
- Well, that's the time
right now.

Joe, there's one thing
you might as well learn.

What's that?

No matter what time a woman says

she'll be somewhere,
automatically add 20 minutes.

Is that right?

Then you won't
have so long to wait.

DOB 3-5...

In Los Angeles, all
cases in which an officer

or a suspect is killed
or seriously wounded

have to be investigated by
a two-man shooting team.

If an investigation were
necessary in this case,

we would be working
most of the night.

Until more information
came in, we had to stand by.

Nothing yet. Get
hold of your date?

Yeah, I told her if she didn't
hear from me by six o'clock,

- the deal was off.
- Why?

She's got to get used
to it sooner or later.

Get used to what?

Well, a cop's wife
does a lot of waiting,

isn't that right, Lieutenant?

Yes, sir, a cop's wife
does a lot of waiting.

Charlotte is just a friend.

Oh, just a friend and how come

I never heard of her before?

Well, I don't know.
Didn't I ever mention her?

No, Joe, you didn't.

- How'd she take the delay?
- No problem.

She was going to be late anyway,
pulled some overtime herself.

Do you hear who's involved?

Radio cart, don't know
either of the officers.

1-Adam-26, to all
units concerned,

the warehouse burglary
on South Santa Fe

is now a Code 4.

Suspect in custody. Code 4.

Maybe we're off the hook.

- Let's check with the Captain.
- Let's do it.

- You heard it, didn't you?
- Yes, sir.

Well, then what are you
hanging around here for?

- Just leaving, Captain.
- What time do you got?

- Straight up six o'clock.
- I better make my call.

Same schedule. Move
back one hour, right?

Right. I'll sign us out.

Good luck to you.

You keep saying that.

I just want your dinner
party to be a smash, Joe.

I wonder where everybody is.

Oh, we know we're not early.

Joe?

Come on in. I'll
be right with you.

Hi, Joe. Anything
I can do to help?

No, not a thing, Eileen.

Just make yourselves at home.

Ah-huh.

Mm-hmm.

How do you like the apartment?

It's very nice.

No, I mean really
from a woman's angle?

That's really very nice, Bill.

Notice anything missing?

How do you mean?

- You don't notice
anything missing?
- No, I don't.

Well, there's no wallpaper,
not a strip of it anywhere.

- Joe.
- Hello, Eileen.

This is so nice.

Do you realize this is the
first time I've ever been here?

Well, you know how
it is in an apartment,

maid service once a
week, things like that.

You're going to burn the steaks
on your little hibachi, eh, Joe?

I'll try not to. Excuse me.

Oh, I'm just kidding.
He's my partner.

Where do I park my iron?

Right here in this cabinet,
top drawer next to mine.

Now, do you want to make
a drink while I fix the steaks?

Sure, but you'll have to
tell me what your date likes.

Yeah, well, maybe we'd
better hold off awhile at that.

See, you put that half hour
to good use, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

Well, setting up the
TV tables and all.

I did that this morning
before I left for work.

Then you don't miss it, huh?

- Miss what?
- Wallpaper, Joe, wallpaper.

Well, they don't put much
in apartments these days.

They didn't put any in here.

Well, I'll just have
to live without it.

A strip or two sure
wood pep up the place.

Honey, everybody does.

Who care for a wallpaper?

I do. It turns a
house into a home.

Well, don't you think it's
a little rude to criticize?

Who, Joe? Not a
chance. He's my partner.

I see.

What do you think now?

About what?

Well, you know,
Joe, old stone face.

Even if he was getting married
tomorrow, he'd never show it.

Tomorrow? Don't you
think that's a little soon?

What makes you so positive
he wants to marry this girl at all?

- One, Joe doesn't have any
relatives in Los Angeles, right?
- Right.

- Two, we're the only family
he's got, right?
- Right.

Three, he's introducing
his girl to his family, right?

You got to figure where
there's smoke, there's fire.

That's the hibachi.

Excuse me.

Good evening, Joe.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
know you had company.

That's all right, Edie.

Well, I don't want to bother
you when you have guests.

It's all right. Come on in.

Well, if you're sure
I'm not intruding.

Not at all. Mr. and Mrs. Gannon.

Bill and Eileen, this is
one of my neighbors.

Edie Augburn.

I'm happy to know you.

The new people,
Joe, the Sellicks.

They moved in last week.

Don't tell me you
haven't heard them.

No, I can't say I have.

Well, you don't live
right below them.

They've only been in a week

and this is their third party.

Just listen.

You hear it?

Yeah, I do now.

It's no good going
to the manager.

All he cares about is
keeping his units rented.

Joe, I hate to ask you.

Well, that's all right, but there
isn't much I can do at this hour.

You mean you're off-duty?

No, I mean it's
only eight o'clock.

Now, they're entitled to make a
certain amount of noise, you know.

Well, what do you
call a certain amount?

In my apartment
it's an absolute den.

I won't sleep a week all night.

Oh, why don't you just ask
him to hold it down a little?

You know how it
is in an apartment.

Sometimes you don't realize
how much noise you're making.

I never make noise.

Well, I suppose
it's all I can do.

I'm sorry I butted in, Joe.

It was nice meeting you folks.

Goodnight, Ms. Augburn.

Well, I just know I won't sleep

a wink all night.

Oh, that's all right,
Joe. I know my way out.

Goodnight, Edie.

Hello.

Oh, hi. Yeah.

No, I just got home.

Yeah, the Gannons are here.

I'm just getting a
charcoal started.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, can you hang on a minute?

It's Charlotte. She
just got off work

says she'll be here as
soon as picks up the dessert.

But we don't need dessert, Joe.

Why don't you tell
her to come right over?

- She's right, Joe.
- It might be a good idea.

Charlotte, the Gannons
think you ought to

just come on over and
never mind the dessert.

Oh?

Well, sure, that's all right.

No, whatever you want
to do, it's all right with me.

Okay. Fine.

She said the dessert
place is right on her way.

It shouldn't take a second
to run in and pick it up.

- Oh, good.
- She ought to be here
in about 10 minutes.

- We're dying to meet her, Joe.
- Can't wait.

The charcoal is ready. You think
I ought to put the steaks on them?

Should time just about right.

Unless Charlotte
wants a drink first.

Do you think she might, Joe?

I don't know. What do you think?

I'm surprised at you,
Joe. Easy enough to figure.

Well, go ahead.

She's had to work overtime

so she'll probably
want to unwind first.

But on the other hand, if
she hasn't eaten since noon,

she's probably
starving by now, right?

Yeah, I'll put steaks on.

Excuse me.

Hello, Walter. How
are you feeling today?

No, no, just
routine stuff mostly.

No, I worked on death
reports most of the day.

No, that's the wrong
number, Walter.

That's a Form 3.11.

Now, listen, Walter, would
you mind if I call you back later?

I got my partner and
his wife here for dinner.

No, no trouble
at all. I'll call you.

How's that?

Well, sure, I think he
liked to meet you too but...

All right, I guess this
is good a time as any.

Hold on a minute, Bill.

It's a friend of mine who
lives in the building here.

He calls me every
day at the same time.

Would you mind
saying hello to him?

- Well, sure, I'd be glad to.
- Thanks.

Walter Scovel,
this is Bill Gannon.

Hello, Walter.

Scovel, huh? How
do you spell that?

S-C-O-V-E-L.

No, that's two N's, Gannon.

Yeah, N-N-O-N.

Well, it's nice to meet you too.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah, I work with Joe.
Yeah, I'm his partner.

Yeah, that's right.

How's that?

No, sir, I work homicide, the
same as Joe, about 25 years.

No, I started in
patrol, black and white.

No, sir, we had one-way
radios in those days.

I know, sir.

We could hear, but
we couldn't call in.

Is that a neighbor
on the phone, Joe?

Yeah, he lives
on the first floor.

I had asked him up and he's
not allowed to climb stairs.

- Oh?
- He's a heart patient.

He hardly ever gets
out of that apartment.

Well, we call that a
DR number these days.

A DR number. That's right.

The detective division
is on the third floor.

Oh, no, sir, all divisions,
homicide, robbery, burglary.

Oh, what's that?

Yeah, I guess. He's
got a hobby though.

He does police calls
all day. He's a real buff.

And then wants to talk police
work with you at night, huh?

- That's it.
- I know what you mean.

We used to have
one in Eagle Rock.

Nearly drove Bill
out of his mind.

Does your buff give you tips?

- All the time.
- And they're always wrong?

Well, so far.

The chief's office?

Oh, that's on the
sixth floor, Mr. Scovel.

Yes, sir.

Well, it was nice
talking to you.

You bet. Good, uh...
Yes, sir. You bet.

Yeah, goodbye, Mr. Scovel.

Well, he talks more like
a policeman than we do.

I guess every officer's got one.

We used to have
one, old Andy Edwards.

They go with the territory.

Oh, hi, Edie.

Well, Joe, I took your
advice like you told me.

I called the Sellicks
and I asked them,

I asked them very
nicely if they would please

be a little quieter up there.

And do you know
what they said to me?

May I come in, Joe?
I'll only stay a second.

Sure.

All right, Edie, now,
what's the problem?

Joe, I thought there was a law

against people using language
like that on the telephone.

Well, what did they say?

I wish I could tell you.

It was rude,

just absolutely
disgustingly rude.

Well, that's all right.

I'm not making any complaint
about that, but the noise, Joe.

They've gone out of their
way to be noisier than before.

I honestly believe the ceiling
could come down on my head.

All right, Edie, I'll see
what I can do about it later.

Later?

Well, like after dinner.

I just put the steaks
under onto broil.

Yes, I see.

I'm intruding.

It seems like I'm always
butting in someplace

where I'm not wanted.

Just a minute, Edie.

Bill, do you want to
take over for a minute?

You know how
everybody likes the steak.

Oh, but Charlotte.

Well, medium rare, I guess.

Right. Don't worry
about the other tenants.

What?

I'll handle the complaint
board till you get back.

♪♪

Hi there.

Mrs. Sellick.

Virna. Come on in.

Well, come on. You're
already three drinks late.

No, thanks. I wonder
if you'd ask Mr. Sellick

to step out here for a minute.

I know who you are.

You're a neighbor.

Yes, ma'am, that's right.

Well, you can come in anyway.

- I'll vouch for you.
- No, thanks. Not tonight.

Well, as the man said, if that's the
way you want to be remembered.

Now, what man said that?

I wouldn't know. He
didn't say it to me.

- Oh.
- Would you ask Mr. Sellick
to step out here please?

Roy, please!

Mr. Kettledrum Man,
please! Mr. Kettledrum Man!

I'm the Kettledrum
Man, Roy Sellick.

- You must be a neighbor.
- Joe Friday.

- Downstairs?
- Yes, sir.

What is it, Joe-Joe?

Are we making that much noise?

No, not for me.

The lady down
below. For her you are.

Just so I don't
make a wrong move,

are you and she...

No, nothing like that.
We're just neighbors.

Well, why doesn't she
do her own complaint?

Well, didn't you
get a call from her?

Not me.

Come to think about
it, the phone did ring.

One of those happy souls
in there must have answered.

I'm sure.

About the noise, what can I say?

After all we live
here too, you know.

And I it isn't all that late.

It's not even 8:30 yet.

You know, legally we're not
even disturbing the peace yet.

All right, why don't
you try to hold it down

by ten o'clock anyway?

That's when she
calls the cops, huh.

How do you live with
somebody like that?

Why don't you try the old
apartment house system?

I never lived in an
apartment before.

Always had our own house, Joe.

What's the system?

When they complain
invite them to the party.

You get things all worked out?

Well, sort of.

I'm awfully sorry
about the interruption.

No problem.

- Bill is a good barbecue man.
- How are you coming?

Well, let me put this way.

If Charlotte walks
in right this minute,

- she can sit right down,
start eating.
- Good.

Now, it's bad. She's not here.

You're not worried,
are you, Joe?

Well, no, but I thought
she'd be here by now.

You people must be starved.

Don't worry about us.
We're happy to wait.

Sure, it's Friday night.
We got the whole weekend.

- Bill.
- Joe knows what I mean.

He's my partner.
There's no hurry.

I think we ought to start.

A few more minutes isn't going

to make that much difference.

Well, if we wait any longer,

those steaks are going
to be ruined, aren't they?

Well, I can keep
Charlotte's steak hot,

but if you think
she'll be hurt, Joe.

No, let's eat. She can catch up.

There she is right now.

I'll put them on the
table on plates, of course.

Joe, I got to talk
to you for a minute.

It's important.

You're all having
dinner at this hour?

We're just sitting down,
George. Won't it keep till later?

Okay, you want to give me
a call when you're finished?

- Sure.
- You won't forget that,
will you, Joe?

I got appearance tomorrow, Claims
Court, first thing Monday morning.

I won't forget.

Going to need some expert
coaching, know what I mean?

- I'll call you.
- Do that now.

All right. Let's all sit down.

Eileen you're here.

- Joe, you're back there.
- What's wrong?

Just about everything.

Here I invite you
people over to my place

and you end up
doing all the work.

- Now, what kind
of a deal is that?
- It doesn't matter, Joe.

It's fun just getting
together, isn't it, Bill?

Sure but I'll tell you what, now, if
it would make you feel any better.

- Yeah.
- You can do the dishes.

Hello.

Yes, Walter?

You did?

When?

How many?

Right. You're sure?

No, Walter, you did just
fine. I'll take care of it.

Walter Scovel, he just
saw a couple of strangers

walking into our
laundry room downstairs.

What kind of equipment
do you have here?

Four washers, four dryers.

- All metered?
- Right.

I thought you said
Walter's tips were no good?

I did. But he's about due.

9:15 p.m., the laundry room
in my apartment building

had been burglarized
once before.

Approximately, two months ago

the coin boxes on the washers
and dryers had been forced open

and the money stolen.

The lights on.

How many ways in?

Just one.

Police officers. Get your
hands up on that wall.

Come on, move. You too.

What do I do with this?
The floor will hold it.

In the corner, move.
Lean on those hands.

Get your feet back.

I know the route.
I know the route.

What do you want to do, Joe?
Phone from the apartment?

Hey, you guys got
an apartment here?

I'll hang on to him.
You want to call in?

Is that right? You
really live here?

That's right.

Man, you're beautiful.

You know that?
You're really beautiful.

How do I know cops lived here?

- You can really pick them.
- Ah, shut up.

Stupid, that's what
you are, chowder head.

Just plain dumb stupid.

All right, that's
enough of that.

Can you imagine
anyone as dumb as him?

Yeah, I can think of one other.

Uniform boys is going
to make the report?

- Yeah, they said
they'd handle it.
- Good.

I'm sure sorry about everything.

It hasn't been much
of a night, has it?

Will you get off of that,
Joe? We've had a great time.

The food was wonderful.

I never barbecued steaks any
better than that in my whole life.

- Oh, Joe, Charlotte phoned.
- Where is she?

- At home.
- At home?

She had car trouble not
too far from a service station,

but there was no
mechanic on duty this late.

It took the attendant an
hour to get the car started.

And then she
remembered the dessert.

- What about it?
- It was all melted.

Anyway, we had a nice
talk and the four of us

are going to get together soon.

- She's a nice girl, Joe.
- Yeah.

♪♪

You got a band living here?

Sure ain't the Boston Pops.

- Hi, Joe.
- Hi, Edie.

I just had to come down
and tell you you're missing

a wonderful party
upstairs with the Sellicks.

- It's a blast.
- Is that so?

And they wanted to invite
you too, isn't that right, Roy?

Yup, we'd love to have
you come up and join us.

Well, thanks just the
same, but I have guests.

Oh, for heaven's sakes.

Edie told me all about
that, but we figured that

we owe Joe a little
something for that good advice.

I'm going to need
a little trumpet here.

♪♪

Ta-da, everybody in.

Have a drink on us.

Hold it band. Hold it band.

I got to tell you, Joe,

there's nothing
wrong with that Edie.

We got a regular orchestra now.

Edie on trumpet,
me on the kettledrum,

and the little woman
on the gypsy symbol.

It's a swell sound.

Yeah, I see.

It sounds real good.
You want to hear us?

- Maybe later.
- Say Joey,

Edie has been telling us
you're a cop, a detective.

- Is that true?
- Yeah, that's right.

Okay, band I'll give
you the old down beat.

Let's play one
for Detective Joey

and his buddies.

What will we play now, Roy?

Let me think. Let me think.

Uh-uh-uh, I got it.

I got it.

Whatever you want
I can play anything.

Hello. I'm sorry, you'll
have to speak up.

I can't... Yes, sir.

Yes, Mr. Towson.

I understand, sir.
I'll take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Oh, your place is busier
than Central Division.

It's the next door neighbor.

We got a problem?

He says it's after ten o'clock.

Yeah.

He wants to know if we can
make a little less noise in here.

The suspects were found guilty

of burglary in the first degree.

A felony which is punishable

by imprisonment

for not less than five years.
