00:00:30THE END

00:01:00This is Los Angeles, Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels, as the Spaniards named her.

00:01:13The fastest growing city in the nation.

00:01:16It's been called a bunch of suburbs in search of a city.

00:01:19And it's been called the glamour capital of the world.

00:01:22A mecca for tourists.

00:01:24A stopover for transients.

00:01:26A target for gangsters.

00:01:27A haven for those fleeing from winter.

00:01:29A home for the hardworking.

00:01:31It is a city holding the hopes and dreams of over two million people.

00:01:35It sprawls out horizontally over 452 square miles of valleys and uplands.

00:01:41Of foothills and beaches.

00:01:43Because of that vast area, and because of a population made up of people from every state in the Union,

00:01:51Los Angeles is the largest police beat in the country.

00:01:54And one of the toughest.

00:01:56We're going to take you into the city hall where police headquarters are located.

00:02:01Here in communications are the ears and voice of the police.

00:02:04The lights on the complaint board flash 24 hours a day.

00:02:07Citizens reporting a prowler.

00:02:09A lost child.

00:02:10A man molesting a woman.

00:02:12An auto accident.

00:02:13A wild party.

00:02:14Spend an hour or two here and you will think the whole city has gone berserk.

00:02:18Minute by minute the orders go out to the radio cars in the far-flung divisions.

00:02:22Watts and Wilshire and West Los Angeles.

00:02:25Hollywood and Hollenbeck Heights in North Hollywood.

00:02:27The work of the police like that of woman is never done.

00:02:31This is the case history of a killer.

00:02:35Taken from the files of the detective division.

00:02:38The facts are told here as they happen.

00:02:41The story properly starts here in Hollywood division headquarters at one o'clock of a June morning last year.

00:02:47Officer Robert Rollins had finished his tour of duty and signed out.

00:02:51It had been a tough day.

00:02:52He'd be glad to get home.

00:02:53His wife would be waiting up for him as she always did.

00:03:01The story of a killer.

00:04:31Hey, fella.

00:04:47Come here.

00:04:48What were you doing back at that radio shop?

00:04:54This Logan.

00:04:55I was on my way home.

00:04:58Live around here?

00:04:59Yeah, a couple blocks down.

00:05:01Let me see some identification.

00:05:03Sure.

00:05:07Yeah, I guess I forgot my wallet.

00:05:10Look, lad.

00:05:11I've got to see some identification.

00:05:13How about my army discharge?

00:05:14I've got it right here.

00:05:15I've got it right here.

00:05:40Police Department, Operator 27.

00:05:56I want to report the shooting of a policeman.

00:05:59Hold on, please.

00:06:01Give me that again, please.

00:06:02I'm calling to report the shooting of a policeman.

00:06:04What's the address?

00:07:05Also notify Sergeants Marty Brennan and Chuck Jones to report to me at the scene of the crime.

00:07:10Control 1 to 80K.

00:07:11Roger.

00:07:24I see.

00:07:25Well, what have you got so far?

00:07:27Well, not much, Captain Breen.

00:07:28A couple of cartridge keys.

00:07:31Oh, Mario, Chuck.

00:07:33Hi, Captain.

00:07:34Eyewitnesses?

00:07:35Who was first on the scene reported it?

00:07:37I was.

00:07:38I live here.

00:07:39I'm a light sleeper, but my hearing is good.

00:07:42My captain...

00:07:42Did the officer say anything before he collapsed?

00:07:45Yeah, he gave a description to the fellow.

00:07:47He was...

00:07:47On the shooting of the officer.

00:07:49Suspect is a white male American.

00:07:51Age 26 or 7.

00:07:535 feet 10 or 11.

00:07:55155 to 165 pounds.

00:07:59Brown hair.

00:08:00Regular features.

00:08:01Pencil mustache.

00:08:04Repeat broadcast.

00:08:06All units.

00:08:07Is that about it?

00:08:08Yes, sir, exactly.

00:08:09And the officer kept saying,

00:08:11he looked like such a nice kid.

00:08:13He looked like such a nice kid.

00:08:15As if he couldn't believe what had happened to him.

00:08:19I see.

00:08:20Is that all?

00:08:21Yeah.

00:08:22Thank you very much.

00:08:23Yeah, well, anything else I can do,

00:08:24I'd be glad to help you.

00:08:25We may call you.

00:08:26Get his name and address for you, Bob.

00:08:31Is the door been checked, Lee?

00:08:33Yeah, it's okay, Captain.

00:08:38Find anything?

00:08:40Nothing but some smudges so far.

00:08:42Found this in the glove compartment.

00:08:45I think it's nitroglycerin.

00:08:47It doesn't look quite right.

00:08:50Well, check it down at the lab.

00:08:51Right.

00:08:52Well.

00:08:59Open this up, Joe.

00:09:01No key, Captain.

00:09:02Try it open.

00:09:03Give me that bar, Frank.

00:09:08Hmm.

00:09:21Regular arsenal.

00:09:23Yeah, get a load of that.

00:09:25What is it?

00:09:26I don't know.

00:09:26It looks like some kind of an electrical device.

00:09:30United States Navy.

00:09:32It's either stolen a war surplus.

00:09:34Send all this stuff down to the lab

00:09:37and check the serial number on that Navy equipment.

00:09:39Yes, sir.

00:09:40Captain Breen.

00:09:41We found these in the weeds over by the radio store.

00:09:44Hmm.

00:09:45What do you got?

00:09:46A pair of cloth gloves, Captain.

00:09:48Well, he thought of everything, didn't he?

00:09:51All right, give them to one of the technicians.

00:09:53Yes, sir.

00:09:53Marty, you and Chuck come along with me.

00:09:55Let's go downtown and see what they picked up in the dragnet.

00:09:58Right.

00:09:58All right.

00:10:04I don't want any dead heroes.

00:10:33I just want the man who shot Rawlins.

00:10:39The suspects began to arrive at headquarters in droves.

00:10:43The police tossed every motel and hotel and many private homes

00:10:46in a four-square-mile area around the scene of the shooting.

00:10:50Every available radio car and patrolman and detective

00:10:52was out on the dragnet.

00:10:54The strings were being drawn tighter and tighter.

00:10:57Many a man returning from a date or a late party or a poker game

00:11:00surprisingly found himself in a squad car,

00:11:03its sirens screaming as it brought him to the detective bureau.

00:11:07The dragnet gathered in some strange fish and many ordinary ones.

00:11:11All the rest of that night, the detectives probed.

00:11:15Needles.

00:11:16Questions.

00:11:17Quizzed.

00:11:19Everything was checked.

00:11:21Fingerprints.

00:11:21Names.

00:11:22Addresses.

00:11:23Stories.

00:11:24Every fish in the net was examined.

00:11:27Most of them thrown back into the sea, not worth keeping.

00:11:30Except a few parole violators and slightly shady characters

00:11:33whose stories needed a lot of verifying.

00:11:36I wasn't prowling no cards.

00:11:38Just taking a walk.

00:11:39You know, getting in condition.

00:11:41You were running when the radio car picked you up.

00:11:43Yeah?

00:11:44Maybe that's why the guys called me Punchy.

00:11:47He's got a point there.

00:11:48Two felony convictions.

00:11:49No warrant.

00:11:50No warrant.

00:11:50He's on parole.

00:11:52Book him.

00:11:52Violation of parole.

00:11:53Let's have the next one, Joe.

00:11:55What were you doing in that vacant lot?

00:11:58The vacant lot.

00:12:00Lot?

00:12:01What were you doing with it at that time of night?

00:12:04You say your name is Ralph Henderson.

00:12:19So what?

00:12:20Well, you know, it's a funny thing, Ralph.

00:12:22There's a guy around this town that's been wearing your fingerprints.

00:12:25Only his name is Pete Hannon.

00:12:28Okay.

00:12:29So I'm dead.

00:12:31So what's one more confession in my life?

00:12:34Now you're talking, Hannon.

00:12:36Okay, Andy.

00:12:39Hello, Harry.

00:12:40What have we got here?

00:12:41Oh, some robbery suspects.

00:12:43Candidates for Sam Clinton.

00:12:45Handsome here is the big shot.

00:12:47He runs the outfit.

00:12:50Avogander at his record.

00:12:52Car theft.

00:12:53Escape from reform school.

00:12:55Robbery.

00:12:56Assault with a deadly weapon.

00:12:58Not bad.

00:12:59Look at the heater we found on him.

00:13:01German Luger.

00:13:02Fully loaded.

00:13:04Redhead here tried to carve up one of the arresting officers with this pretty toy.

00:13:09Nice boys.

00:13:10By dawn, many minor wrongdoings had been uncovered.

00:13:13And a few incipient felonies.

00:13:15The checking of the suspects had been thorough, painstaking, and tedious.

00:13:19But all the work was for nothing.

00:13:21The man who had shot Officer Rollins was not among them.

00:13:24He remained no more than a description.

00:13:27A shadow of a man.

00:13:28Mysterious.

00:13:29Elusive.

00:13:31Deadly.

00:13:32Hidden away somewhere in the vast city.

00:13:34As for Rollins himself, he couldn't help.

00:13:41He was in a coma at receiving hospital.

00:13:44Mrs. Rollins waited out the long tense hours while her husband fought to live.

00:13:49Many another officer's wife had so waited.

00:13:52Many another will.

00:13:54The word came shortly after son of.

00:13:56A white male American.

00:14:2026 or 7.

00:14:215 feet 10 or 11.

00:14:24155 to 165 pounds.

00:14:27Brown hair.

00:14:28Regular features.

00:14:29Pencil mustache.

00:14:33This was no frightened fugitive.

00:14:35What went on in his mind?

00:14:37Why had he set his hand against his fellow men?

00:14:41Taken the life of another.

00:14:42Of a stranger.

00:14:43Of a man who is merely doing his duty.

00:14:46He must have some plan.

00:14:49Some goal that called for sudden death to anyone who got in his way.

00:14:52Is it a young man who got in his way?

00:15:04I was part of a hostage supply now.

00:15:06Oh, yeah.

00:15:09I won't.

00:15:39Good morning, boys.

00:15:41Good morning, Lee.

00:15:42Hiya, Professor.

00:15:45Well, I thought this was safe cracker soup.

00:15:47You gonna drink it, I hope?

00:15:49I'm really a nice guy.

00:15:51Stick around.

00:15:52I'll prove it.

00:15:54Come over here.

00:16:09Hold this for me, will you, Chuck?

00:16:23Now, if you'll hand me that hammer, Marty.

00:16:37Yeah?

00:16:39Nitro-glycerin.

00:16:40I didn't ask for a collection of fingers.

00:16:42Just fingerprints.

00:16:44All those nice fingerprints on the cob

00:16:46belong to the man who was stolen from, Cap.

00:16:48Nothing on the guns, the pick locks.

00:16:50Not even an interesting smudge.

00:16:52The gloves.

00:16:54Common type, worn by undertakers.

00:16:57I'll check on them.

00:16:58They won't show anything.

00:16:59What did your scientific test show?

00:17:01A couple little things.

00:17:03Tool identification on these pick locks.

00:17:06I got one under the scope.

00:17:07You wanna take a look?

00:17:07Yeah.

00:17:19Take a look.

00:17:19I see.

00:17:25Well, it seems to tie the tool up with the lock.

00:17:29That microscope could only tell us who did it.

00:17:32I'm working on that.

00:17:35Not only an amateur would carry that liquid dynamite in a car.

00:17:38This boy's no amateur.

00:17:40Took the precaution of desensitizing it so it'll take normal shock.

00:17:44Took a lot of other precautions, too.

00:17:45No fingerprints.

00:17:46No identification.

00:17:48Nothing definite.

00:17:50Except he's scientific.

00:17:53Knows electricity.

00:17:53There's an invention.

00:17:56Yeah.

00:17:57I'm happy on the trigger.

00:18:03This is Captain Breen.

00:18:04Get me Captain Stevens a burglary, will you?

00:18:07I hate to disappoint you, Lee, but I think you've come up with something.

00:18:11Uh, hello, Steve?

00:18:12How are you?

00:18:15Did your daughter's marriage come off all right?

00:18:19Good.

00:18:20Look, Steve, on those burglaries of electrical equipment lately,

00:18:24were there any where pick locks were used to gain entry?

00:18:30Good.

00:18:31Well, let me know if there's another report of one, will you?

00:18:34I've got an idea the Rawlins killer may be tied in with those.

00:18:39Fine.

00:18:39Uh, and, uh, give my regards to the newlyweds, too.

00:18:43So long, Steve.

00:18:46Well, what are you waiting for?

00:18:48You've got a job, haven't you?

00:18:49Get going.

00:18:50Yeah, let's go, Junior.

00:18:52Hold this for me, will you, Lee?

00:18:54Thanks.

00:18:58And so, with no fingerprints and only a vague description to go by,

00:19:01Sergeant Brennan turned to the modus operandi file.

00:19:04A criminal, like any human being, has his own habit patterns,

00:19:08unconscious traits that can lead to his downfall.

00:19:17Oh, they are, Junior.

00:19:18A list of burglars that use pick locks for entry.

00:19:21Oh, great.

00:19:22This narrows it down to just a couple of hundred suspects in this area.

00:19:25Give me a match, will you?

00:19:29That may not be so bad.

00:19:30This guy's improved on the system.

00:19:33Maybe he's left his trademark on some other job.

00:19:35Well, here we go, legging it all over town, asking a million questions.

00:19:39What you paid for, isn't it?

00:19:40Am I paid to associate with you, too, Junior?

00:19:43You could do worse.

00:19:44Not this year.

00:19:45Come on.

00:19:46Come on.

00:19:50Come on.

00:19:54Come on.

00:20:43All units, on the broadcast of the suspect arrested in the shooting of patrolman Rollins.

00:20:53Cancel the cancellation.

00:20:54Suspect released from custody.

00:21:13Oh, hello, Mr. Martin. You'll find Mr. Reeves in the machine shop.

00:21:33Hello, Roy. Glad to see you.

00:21:36How are you, Mr. Reeves?

00:21:37Hi. I was hoping you'd drop in.

00:21:39I wanted to thank you for showing us how to handle that repair job.

00:21:43Don't go up.

00:21:52Oh, what have we got this time?

00:22:00Sewer grab.

00:22:05There are plenty of these around, Roy.

00:22:08Not like this one.

00:22:11Yes, I see.

00:22:13I suppose, as usual, you've added your own improvements.

00:22:18You know, it seems wrong that a man of your talents should bother consigning equipment for rental.

00:22:23Well, I'd like to see you devote yourself entirely to experimental electronics.

00:22:30It'll come one day.

00:22:33I'll live a place like this.

00:22:34Well, why wait?

00:22:36I've got a pretty good setup here.

00:22:38It'll have modern equipment to work with, a lab, and my confidence.

00:22:43Thanks, Mr. Reeves.

00:22:44Thanks, Mr. Reeves.

00:22:46I have other plans.

00:22:47But, Roy, you can't tell where it'll lead.

00:22:50Might even work your way around to a percentage of the business.

00:22:53I like it this way.

00:22:57You just rent out my equipment.

00:22:59All right, all right.

00:23:01What if you should change your mind?

00:23:03I'm not likely to change my mind.

00:23:05I suppose you want me to set this up for rental, too.

00:23:11Mr. Reeves, you've already got five pieces of my equipment.

00:23:16And you'd like to know what results I've had from the rental so far, hmm?

00:23:19Well, I can't say as I blame you.

00:23:23I think you'll find this satisfactory.

00:23:28Satisfactory.

00:23:30Goodbye, Mr. Reeves.

00:23:31And you'll come back again soon, won't you?

00:23:33Sure.

00:23:34Oh, incidentally.

00:23:37How's that television projector coming on?

00:23:39The one you said would reflect a 12-foot image.

00:23:41Still working on it.

00:23:42I just wanted you to know I've already set up a rental on it.

00:23:46In fact, I think they'd like to buy.

00:23:49It'll come very high.

00:23:50Oh, money is no consideration with this customer.

00:23:58Tell him he can pick it up tomorrow.

00:24:00I thought you said it wasn't finished yet.

00:24:02It'll be finished.

00:24:11It uses an image fixer and then projects by ordinary incandescent.

00:24:17Roy?

00:24:19This is the best television projector I've ever seen.

00:24:22Let's hope that your customer thinks so.

00:24:24He will.

00:24:29Yes?

00:24:32Send him right in, Charlotte.

00:24:35There.

00:24:36You see?

00:24:36Our customer is here.

00:24:38Begging for the privilege of buying.

00:24:41Better be running along.

00:24:42I'm not much good at business.

00:24:43Oh, but Roy, he'll want to congratulate you.

00:24:47Just see that the price is right.

00:24:50All right, Roy.

00:24:51I'll get you a good deal.

00:24:53So long.

00:24:54See you.

00:25:00Well, Mr. Dunning, come in.

00:25:05Isn't it a beauty?

00:25:06It's a beauty, all right.

00:25:20You like it?

00:25:21I certainly do like it.

00:25:23You see, it's mine.

00:25:25What do you mean?

00:25:26Let me have the police.

00:25:27I built it.

00:25:29Spent years on it.

00:25:30Oh, you must be crazy.

00:25:31Roy built this machine himself.

00:25:32Your friend's a crook, Paul.

00:25:34You've been taken in.

00:25:35Hello?

00:25:36Give me the burglary detail.

00:25:39Dear Jim,

00:25:41regarding your inquiry on a .38 caliber Smith and Western Barbot,

00:25:45see you?

00:25:45Oh, come in, boys.

00:25:47Burglary detail just sent this report through.

00:25:50It's a man named Dunning.

00:25:51Reports tracing a stolen television projector to the Reeves Electronics Lab.

00:25:57Think it's a tie with the Rollins case?

00:25:59Well, take a look at this fellow Reeves and see what gives.

00:26:01I'll notify burglary.

00:26:03We're following up on it.

00:26:04Right.

00:26:05Come on, Junior.

00:26:09What else did he place with you for rental?

00:26:11Oh, a number of things.

00:26:13All war surplus that he bought on his veteran's rating.

00:26:16Oh, is this more of his equipment?

00:26:17Yes.

00:26:17Yes, he left it here on consignment.

00:26:21I'm sure that Roy can explain everything.

00:26:24Well, maybe he can, Mr. Reeves, if you'll tell us where he lives.

00:26:27But I don't know.

00:26:28Mr. Martin's on the phone, sir.

00:26:30I'd better talk to him.

00:26:33I think so, Mr. Reeves.

00:26:35I'll take it in the superintendent's office.

00:26:45Tell him that you sold the set.

00:26:47And his money's waiting for him here.

00:26:48Find out what time he's coming by.

00:26:49Put Mr. Martin on.

00:27:00Hello, Roy?

00:27:04Yes.

00:27:04Yes, I've sold it.

00:27:06Your money is waiting here for you.

00:27:10Yes, I'll be working late tonight.

00:27:12What time will you be by?

00:27:13First thing in the morning.

00:27:16Well, maybe you'd better come in tonight, Roy.

00:27:18A couple of things I want cleared up.

00:27:21Like what?

00:27:23Oh, technical things.

00:27:25Besides, I don't like to leave the money in the plant overnight.

00:27:32How about 8.30?

00:27:34Fine, fine.

00:27:35I'll see you then.

00:27:37I'll leave the front door unlocked.

00:27:44He'll be here at 8.30.

00:27:46Well, I'll just run along home and get some dinner.

00:27:57Uh, we'd like you to stay, too, Mr. Reeves.

00:28:00Why?

00:28:01For company.

00:28:02You want to cooperate, don't you, Mr. Reeves?

00:28:04Certainly.

00:28:05Good.

00:28:06Now, you just wait in your office.

00:28:07We'll be around.

00:28:09Very well.

00:28:11This way, gentlemen.

00:28:16I'll be right back.

00:28:46I'll be right back.

00:29:16I'll be right back.

00:29:22I'll be right back.

00:29:37Breathe.

00:29:40Is that you, Roy?

00:29:42Go outside and block that alley door.

00:30:07Where are you, Roy?

00:30:12Who's in here?

00:30:16No one.

00:30:17I'm alone.

00:30:24Come on in.

00:30:25I've got your money for you.

00:30:27Bring it out here.

00:30:31All right.

00:30:35Just a minute.

00:30:42All right.

00:31:12All right.

00:34:42Do you have a girl?

00:34:44No.

00:34:45No, I don't think so.

00:34:47He had no interest in anything but electronics.

00:34:50Where did he pick up the subject?

00:34:52Books, magazines.

00:34:55Mostly from the signal core.

00:34:57He was attached to a radar unit.

00:34:58Get a teletype off of the war department.

00:35:02That might help.

00:35:05Yes?

00:35:06Ready on your call to receiving hospital, Captain Breen.

00:35:09Hello.

00:35:10This is Captain Breen.

00:35:12What is the latest report on Sergeant Jones?

00:35:14Well, let me know if there's any change, will you?

00:35:24I see.

00:35:26Well, let me know if there's any change, will you?

00:35:27Thanks.

00:35:28Chuck's in pretty bad shape, Marty.

00:35:33He's paralyzed.

00:35:35May never walk again.

00:35:43Oh, I'm sorry.

00:35:45It's funny that Martin showed up at 7 when he told you he wouldn't be there until 8.30.

00:35:50I don't know why.

00:35:52Except he was always unpredictable.

00:35:54I'll tell you why.

00:35:55Because you warned him.

00:35:56That's why he came early.

00:35:57That's why he came in the back way.

00:35:58But you heard me tell him the front door would be open.

00:36:00And the key didn't let him in the back way?

00:36:01He must have had one made.

00:36:02Why don't you tell us the truth?

00:36:03Marty.

00:36:13Now, look, Paul.

00:36:15You can make it a lot easier for us to believe your story if you'll just give us some facts.

00:36:20Something that might help us.

00:36:22I told you all I know.

00:36:26I've been gullible, all right.

00:36:28Letting him make a fool of me.

00:36:29But I'd do anything to make up for what he did to Detective Jones.

00:36:36Sure.

00:36:37Sure you would.

00:36:39You can go now.

00:36:41Oh, thanks.

00:36:44Thanks.

00:36:48My friend, they can vouch for my character.

00:36:50That's good.

00:36:51We'll call you for nature.

00:36:52Thank you very much.

00:36:55I think he's telling the truth, Marty.

00:36:56I think he's just gullible like he said.

00:36:58What about the stolen stuff he was trying to peddle for Martin?

00:37:01We'll use it for bait.

00:37:03Maybe Martin will come back for it.

00:37:04Then we can ask him.

00:37:07Here.

00:37:09Nevertheless, I want a 24-hour tale put on Reeves,

00:37:11and I want to watch on his home and his factory.

00:37:13Right.

00:37:15You can keep those.

00:37:18Okay, Captain.

00:37:18And now the killer changed his tactics, his modus operandi.

00:37:28It would baffle the police.

00:37:30They always expected burglars to remain burglars,

00:37:33not go in for stick-ups.

00:37:35They never tie this up with him.

00:37:37So wearing a variety of disguises,

00:37:39coming and going like a shadow,

00:37:41ready to kill of cornered,

00:37:42he struck the bottle stores in a one-man blitz

00:37:45that had the robbery detail dizzy.

00:37:47The killer, always resourceful,

00:38:09always thinking along lines that would baffle his hunters,

00:38:12had discovered an ideal avenue of escape.

00:38:14Under Los Angeles is a vast and intricate system

00:38:17of huge storm drains

00:38:18built to siphon off the flash floods of the rainy season.

00:38:22Many of the tunnels are large enough

00:38:24for two cars to drive abreast.

00:38:26Here were 700 miles of hidden highways.

00:38:29Ideal for the use of someone

00:38:31who needed to hurry from place to place

00:38:33without being seen.

00:38:35Ideal as a hiding place for guns and supplies

00:38:37in case of emergency.

00:38:38What does it mean?

00:38:43Well, the reason I asked you to come over

00:38:44is I think I've hit on something.

00:38:46An identification?

00:38:47No, not quite, but a tie-up.

00:38:49Now, these are the shells from the gun that killed Rawlins.

00:38:53These were fired in the liquor store holder

00:38:55in which the bandit got away.

00:38:57And these were fired at Chuck.

00:39:00Now, as you know, every ejector,

00:39:02even in guns of the same model and caliber,

00:39:04is different.

00:39:05Each one leaves its own markings

00:39:07on the cartridge casing.

00:39:10Now, look at these fine striations.

00:39:13This deep gouge.

00:39:16The same on all three.

00:39:20In other words, the man who killed Rawlins

00:39:24and the man who shot at Jones and Brennan,

00:39:27the stick-up who's blitzing the liquor stores,

00:39:29are all the same man.

00:39:30Right.

00:39:31All we need to know is what that man looks like.

00:39:35Get me Chandler in robbery, will you?

00:39:40I've got an idea about that.

00:39:43Also, it'll give us a chance to see

00:39:44if Reeves is on the level with us.

00:39:47Uh, Steve.

00:39:48Green.

00:39:50About those blitz hold-ups you're on.

00:39:52Round up all the victims

00:39:53and have them down here tonight, will you?

00:39:56Oh, it's just a little scheme.

00:39:59Thanks, Steve.

00:39:59Hmm, that's good.

00:40:05Now sketch another one at the same time,

00:40:07only this time thin it out a little, huh?

00:40:08All right.

00:40:09Hi, Lee.

00:40:09How's it coming?

00:40:10Be ready for tonight?

00:40:11We'll be ready.

00:40:12Think it'll work?

00:40:13It should.

00:40:15Where'd you get the idea?

00:40:16From a kidnapping case in Chicago.

00:40:18But I thought these slides might be an improvement

00:40:20over the method they used.

00:40:22Could be.

00:40:23Captain thinks so.

00:40:24Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

00:40:30May I have your attention for a moment, please?

00:40:33You've all been asked to sit in

00:40:34on a little experiment tonight.

00:40:37We're going to try to build a picture of a face.

00:40:40A face of a man who's cunning,

00:40:43resourceful, and deadly.

00:40:45He's a man who killed a police officer.

00:40:49Now, some of you, he held up at the point of a gun.

00:40:52You may have seen his face,

00:40:53remembered something about.

00:40:55And we want you to tell us

00:40:57exactly what you remembered.

00:41:00Whether it's his hair, eyes, nose, or mouth.

00:41:04And we're going to try to put those pieces together

00:41:07so that they add up into a picture

00:41:09of the face of the man we want.

00:41:12Now, you can see how we're depending on you.

00:41:15Lights.

00:41:17Now, first, we're going to concentrate

00:41:20on the type of hair our man had.

00:41:22And if the picture looks anything like his hair,

00:41:25I want you to speak right up.

00:41:27All right, the first slide, Lee.

00:41:36His hair had waves in it.

00:41:37Well-groomed.

00:41:38That's the idea, Miss Smith.

00:41:47Is that any closer?

00:41:50No.

00:41:50It was parted on the side.

00:41:57Oh, that's more like it.

00:41:59Except it was thicker.

00:41:59Oh, that's very close.

00:42:10Yes, that's the way his forehead looked.

00:42:12It was broad and high.

00:42:14All right, hold that slide.

00:42:16Now, the next series of slides

00:42:18will take into account his eyes.

00:42:19Oh, one minute, please.

00:42:29Wait, one minute.

00:42:31His eyes were a little like that.

00:42:33Maybe a little smaller.

00:42:35Like bees.

00:42:37Go on, Lee.

00:42:46Now, now you've got it.

00:42:47Now, hold that slide, Lee.

00:42:51Anyone else?

00:42:53That looks like him,

00:42:54only a little madder.

00:42:56He had a patch over one eye

00:42:57when he come into my dive,

00:42:58uh, my place of business.

00:42:59I remember noticing

00:43:00that the one showing was blue.

00:43:02Well, the guy that stuck me up

00:43:04had on horn-rimmed glasses.

00:43:05He was wearing a Band-Aid

00:43:06across his nose

00:43:07when he knocked me over.

00:43:09Uh-huh.

00:43:11All right, hold that, Lee.

00:43:13Well, so much for the eyes.

00:43:14Yes.

00:43:17Go ahead.

00:43:33Señor Capitán.

00:43:35Yes, Miss Montalvo.

00:43:37Ay, ¿cómo se dice en inglés?

00:43:40A sus órdenes, señorita.

00:43:41Ah, qué bien.

00:43:42En este bandido,

00:43:44la nariz fue chata.

00:43:45Como aquella.

00:43:47Pero un poco más chata

00:43:48y más ancha.

00:43:49Like that, Captain,

00:43:50but more snuff, wider.

00:43:52Try another one, Lee.

00:43:57Como aquella.

00:43:59Casi la misma.

00:44:00She says that's about it.

00:44:02Thank you very much, Miss Montalvo.

00:44:05Get Reeves.

00:44:05Any more comments?

00:44:09That's pretty close, all right.

00:44:10Pretty close.

00:44:11Perfect.

00:44:12All right.

00:44:12Now we'll start on the mouth and chin.

00:44:15The next series, Lee.

00:44:16Yeah.

00:44:19I think his lower lip stuck out more.

00:44:22The mouth was thin and mean,

00:44:23like it never laughed.

00:44:27Go ahead.

00:44:29Something like that.

00:44:30But thicker lips.

00:44:31There.

00:44:36That's it.

00:44:37That's him.

00:44:38All right.

00:44:39Now hold that right there, Lee.

00:44:41Oh, come in, Mr. Reeves.

00:44:45Good evening, Captain.

00:44:47Did you ever see that face before?

00:44:52Why, it's Roy.

00:44:54Except for the hair being a little lighter

00:44:56and the eyebrows heavier.

00:44:58It's Roy.

00:45:00You're sure?

00:45:01I'm positive I'd know him anywhere.

00:45:06Lee, I want to retouch the photograph.

00:45:09Now lighten the hair

00:45:09and give more body to the eyebrows.

00:45:12Right.

00:45:13Lights.

00:45:16That's all.

00:45:17Thank you very much.

00:45:18You've been a great help.

00:45:19It's positively amazing

00:45:20how you found out what he looked like.

00:45:22Well, we're looking for an amazing criminal,

00:45:24Mrs. Johnson.

00:45:25Thank you and good night.

00:45:26Good night, Captain.

00:45:28And so the face of the unknown killer

00:45:30built up from fragments of evidence

00:45:32was sent out all over the country.

00:45:34To chiefs of police,

00:45:36to sheriffs,

00:45:37to county constables

00:45:38and county jailers.

00:45:39to the wardens of prisons,

00:45:41to all postmasters and postal inspectors,

00:45:46to the agents of the Treasury Department,

00:45:51to the FBI.

00:45:52They showed that picture

00:45:55to the inmates of jails and prisons,

00:45:57to men with a wide acquaintance

00:45:59among the cat burglars

00:46:00and the violence boys.

00:46:02Informers and conmen

00:46:03and sharpshooters were quizzed,

00:46:05those on the fringe of crime

00:46:06and those deep in the rackets.

00:46:08Many wanted to help.

00:46:10Nobody could.

00:46:11No one in the underworld

00:46:12recognized that mysterious face.

00:46:15He was as unknown

00:46:16as if he had lived

00:46:17in the 16th century.

00:46:18THE END

00:46:20THE END

00:46:21THE END

00:46:51THE END

00:47:51Rhys.

00:47:56Roy.

00:47:58Listen carefully, Rhys.

00:48:02Control yourself.

00:48:04I know you're alone in the house.

00:48:06Act like you're alone.

00:48:08Cops are watching every move you make.

00:48:11The police here?

00:48:12They got you staked out like a muskrat hide, watching you around the clock.

00:48:16Here, at your plant, tailing your car.

00:48:18Sit in that chair.

00:48:26Pick up three books.

00:48:33Don't look up and don't answer me.

00:48:37All right.

00:48:39We're going to the book.

00:48:40Pick one of them.

00:48:53Okay.

00:48:54Now, that's the book you want to read before you go to bed.

00:48:58Now, get up and turn off the lamp.

00:49:01Come here.

00:49:09Come here.

00:49:19Go in the den.

00:49:20Follow those gripe stags.

00:49:29Go in.

00:49:29Come here.

00:49:30Get away from him.

00:50:00What do the cops know about me?

00:50:04Not very much, Roy.

00:50:06No fingerprints.

00:50:07They haven't even got a picture of you.

00:50:08They're trying to make one.

00:50:15How much cash you got in the house?

00:50:18None.

00:50:19I never keep any cash in the house.

00:50:20It isn't good business.

00:50:22I suppose you think it was good business

00:50:24letting me walk into that trap.

00:50:25No, I know.

00:50:26Don't do anything you'll regret.

00:50:27Now listen to me.

00:50:28It isn't too late.

00:50:29Give yourself up.

00:50:30Come to your senses before you kill someone else.

00:50:40What do you mean?

00:50:41Someone else.

00:50:42What do you mean?

00:50:43Nothing.

00:50:44There's two officers.

00:50:45They said one of them might die.

00:50:48But he's still alive, isn't he?

00:50:52Breeze?

00:50:54I never thought you'd stooge for the police.

00:50:56You almost got me killed.

00:51:00Don't cry.

00:51:01You know the police are right outside.

00:51:02You'd never get away with it.

00:51:10That's right.

00:51:12Now you're being sensible.

00:51:18I know there's money here.

00:51:19What is it?

00:51:20Don't cry.

00:51:21I'll get it.

00:51:22I'll get it.

00:51:43It's not enough.

00:51:44Stuff you've got to mind is worth thousands.

00:51:46I'll get more.

00:51:49Then get it.

00:51:50Keep it handy.

00:51:51I'll be back next week and next month.

00:51:53But get it.

00:51:54And have it ready.

00:51:55Just give me time.

00:51:56I don't want policemen outside my house following me around.

00:52:11That's what made Roy suspicious.

00:52:13I'm leaving and warning.

00:52:15I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Paul.

00:52:18Unfortunately, you're our base.

00:52:20I won't do it.

00:52:21I've done enough.

00:52:22Look, no one's done enough.

00:52:23Until we find this killer.

00:52:27I asked you to keep a sharp lookout on this house, Marty.

00:52:29I did.

00:52:30Two of the best undercover men of an apartment were assigned here.

00:52:32That didn't keep Martin from getting in.

00:52:33What's the matter?

00:52:34You're tired?

00:52:36I'm sorry.

00:52:38I'm sorry.

00:52:39I'm sorry.

00:52:40I'm sorry.

00:52:41I'm sorry.

00:52:42I'm sorry.

00:52:43I'm sorry.

00:52:44I'm sorry.

00:52:45I'm sorry.

00:52:46I'm sorry.

00:52:47I'm sorry.

00:52:48I'm sorry.

00:52:49I'm sorry.

00:52:53You got any idea how long you've been on this case, Marty?

00:52:56A month.

00:52:58Long enough to have come up with something by this time.

00:53:03You know any more about the Rawlins killer than you knew the first week?

00:53:06Yeah.

00:53:08He's about the toughest nut I've ever had to crack.

00:53:12That's what I told the Chief when he called me in this afternoon

00:53:14and wanted to know why the case hadn't been broken.

00:53:16Look, Captain.

00:53:19Rollins was a friend of mine.

00:53:22So was Chuck.

00:53:24I've got a bigger stake in this than the Chief knows.

00:53:28I'm doing everything I can.

00:53:32I'm afraid it's not enough, Marty.

00:53:33Maybe you're too close to it to see it clearly.

00:53:36Maybe it needs a fresh team, a new viewpoint.

00:53:39I think you better take a couple of weeks off, Marty.

00:53:43Starting tomorrow.

00:53:45Anything you say, Captain?

00:53:47Hiya, Marty.

00:53:48Hiya, Chuck.

00:53:49Meet Miss Scanlon, my new bodyguard.

00:53:50He's the one I've been telling you about.

00:53:51Oh, you mean the one with the steel trap brain?

00:53:52How do you do?

00:53:53Hello.

00:53:54Have this guy been behaving?

00:53:55After a fashion.

00:53:56Hiya, Marty.

00:54:12Hiya, Chuck.

00:54:13Meet Miss Scanlon, my new bodyguard.

00:54:15He's the one I've been telling you about.

00:54:16Oh, you mean the one with the steel-trap brain?

00:54:19How do you do?

00:54:20Hello.

00:54:20Has this guy been behaving?

00:54:21After a fashion.

00:54:22See, she takes me out in my go-kart, puts me to bed, wakes me up, dresses me.

00:54:26You're perfectly capable of dressing yourself now, Mr. Jones.

00:54:30I'll be back in a few minutes.

00:54:35Well, how's it been going, Junior?

00:54:37Oh, pretty good, Chuck.

00:54:39Pretty good.

00:54:41Is that why you're off the case?

00:54:43How'd you know?

00:54:45Breen was in to see me this morning.

00:54:46Oh.

00:54:48Suppose he also told you they'd put a new team on the case.

00:54:50He told me everything.

00:54:52Yeah.

00:54:53Let's see what his new boys pick up.

00:54:54Well, maybe they'll examine the facts of the case a little more carefully.

00:54:58What facts?

00:55:00That a man's sharp?

00:55:01That he's intelligent and works alone?

00:55:03That he has no record and never leaves a fingerprint in those every move we make?

00:55:06Sure, plenty of facts, only they add up to nothing.

00:55:08Sure, forget it.

00:55:09You got yourself a ten-day vacation.

00:55:11Go on down to the beach, get a suntan.

00:55:13By the time you get back, the case will be broken.

00:55:16Isn't that what you want?

00:55:17You know better than that.

00:55:18All I know is what I hear.

00:55:19You sit there batting your gums about how the old man let you down.

00:55:23Maybe he's trying to wake you up.

00:55:25He's got a funny way of showing it.

00:55:26There you go, flying off the handle, always taking things for granted.

00:55:29I wish I could get up and boot some sense into you.

00:55:32He knew what this case meant to me.

00:55:33He still does.

00:55:34That's why he's trying to get you mad enough to do something about it.

00:55:40You don't really figure that's his idea, do you?

00:55:42I know it is.

00:55:43Ah, that's a tough case, Chuck.

00:55:47Not an angle, nothing to go on.

00:55:49You'd know what I meant if you were out working with me.

00:55:51I have been working with you.

00:55:53That's all I've had to do lately.

00:55:55Just sit around studying what little facts we have.

00:55:57Trying to figure out who we might be.

00:55:59You know the kind of a guy we're up against then.

00:56:02I tell you, Chuck, this guy's a genius the way he operates.

00:56:06It's if he were right there with us every time he'd go out after a lead.

00:56:08Oh, sure.

00:56:09Breen's been tipping him off just to make you look bad.

00:56:12They almost like that.

00:56:14Well, he beats us to the punch every time.

00:56:16There's your angle.

00:56:18You just hit it on the head, but you don't see it.

00:56:19Look, start at him.

00:56:21One, he's unknown to the underworld.

00:56:23Two, he beats you to the punch, right?

00:56:26And three, it's almost as if he were with you.

00:56:28Isn't that what you said?

00:56:29Yeah.

00:56:30Well, tie that up with a lot of other little things,

00:56:31like the fact that he uses a police gun

00:56:33and the accuracy of the shooting.

00:56:36Anybody could buy a police gun,

00:56:37or the army could have taught him how to shoot.

00:56:39Yeah, but who taught him how the police operate?

00:56:44Oh, I don't want you driving that chocolate.

00:56:47But a cop.

00:56:48Those things happen.

00:56:51Yeah.

00:56:52Now, if I were still in the case,

00:56:53I'd start with our own department first,

00:56:55then Santa Monica,

00:56:56Culver City,

00:56:56Burbank,

00:56:57Pasadena.

00:56:57See you later, Junior.

00:56:59Hey!

00:57:00Don't let him out of your sight, beautiful.

00:57:01It's the first time in years he's used his head.

00:57:12Did you get a print of every mug we take?

00:57:14We always send L.A. a copy, Sergeant.

00:57:15It's personnel photos I want.

00:57:17You mean of our boys?

00:57:22That's Roland's killer, isn't it?

00:57:23That's right.

00:57:24You checked your own department.

00:57:26We did that first.

00:57:33And so the tedious quest went on.

00:57:36Sergeant Brennan wore out his shoes and his patients,

00:57:38going from police station to police station,

00:57:41checking photos until his eyes were blurry.

00:57:44For police work is not all glamour and excitement and glory.

00:57:47There are days and days of routine,

00:57:50of tedious probing,

00:57:52of tireless searching,

00:57:54fruitless days,

00:57:55days when nothing goes right,

00:57:57when it seems as if no one could ever think his way

00:58:00through the maze of battling trails of criminal leaves.

00:58:03But the answer to that is persistence

00:58:06and the hope that sooner or later something will turn up,

00:58:10some tiny lead that can grow into a warm trail

00:58:13and point to the cracking of a tough case.

00:58:17Well, that does it, boys.

00:58:31Can't say I'm sorry you didn't find him in here.

00:58:34I'd hate to think it was a cop.

00:58:36Doesn't seem to be anybody.

00:58:38It's a lot of pieces of a face that never existed.

00:58:41Would you mind if I see that again?

00:58:43Sure, Raymond.

00:58:45Put it on your dresser.

00:58:47Wait a minute.

00:58:48He wasn't a cop.

00:58:50He was a radio technician right here in our dispatch office.

00:58:53What did you say?

00:58:54I'm saying he worked here in 42.

00:58:57Well, come on, give.

00:58:58I remember the kid well.

00:59:00Sort of strange.

00:59:02Never bothered with anyone in the department.

00:59:03Just kept to himself.

00:59:05But he was in line for promotion when he was drafted.

00:59:08Where was he living at the time?

00:59:09I don't remember.

00:59:13Try the dead files.

00:59:19I never asked for his job back after the war.

00:59:21I remember writing to him about it, though.

00:59:23He's an excellent worker.

00:59:24Oh, yeah.

00:59:25Here we are.

00:59:26Yeah, this is it.

00:59:28It took a while before he answered,

00:59:30but like he says in the letter,

00:59:31he wasn't interested.

00:59:31What do you want us to do?

00:59:45All the work?

00:59:47Oh, thanks a lot, Freddy.

00:59:49You remember, he was a civilian employee.

01:00:02Well, how about it?

01:00:02Anybody recognize it?

01:00:05Not on my route.

01:00:07I never saw him before.

01:00:11Okay, fella.

01:00:11Thanks very much.

01:00:16I thought for a minute...

01:00:18You have that face.

01:00:24I wonder.

01:00:25Yeah?

01:00:26Well, this may not mean anything,

01:00:28but he looks like a guy that's on my route.

01:00:30He never gets any mail,

01:00:31but I see him around there all the time.

01:00:33He lives in one of the courts.

01:00:35Where?

01:00:35Come on, I'll show you.

01:00:37It's not that easy.

01:00:39What time does your route take you past those courts?

01:00:42About nine o'clock.

01:00:43Why?

01:00:45Just like it.

01:00:48You got any chocolate milk?

01:01:02Sure have, buddy.

01:01:03Yeah.

01:01:04Yeah.

01:01:05Thanks.

01:01:07What's your pocket?

01:01:08Straight down back.

01:01:14Second in the yell.

01:01:16Number seven.

01:01:18Right.

01:01:20Had a warm today, huh?

01:01:21Oh, it's not too bad for this time of the year.

01:01:23Good morning.

01:01:30Morning.

01:01:31You're new and you're out, aren't you?

01:01:33We had a substitute.

01:01:34What happened to the other stuff?

01:01:36Sick.

01:01:37Oh, what's the matter with you?

01:01:39I don't know.

01:01:39I catch everything.

01:01:41Hear about it on the radio, and next morning I got it.

01:01:44Too bad.

01:01:46You aren't very social.

01:01:47The regular fellow always stops me talking to you.

01:01:49Sorry, Betty, I'm a little late this morning.

01:01:52I was hoping maybe you could help me.

01:01:55There's something very funny going on in this court.

01:01:58Yeah?

01:01:59I was scared to go to the police.

01:02:01I thought maybe I might be poisoned.

01:02:03What?

01:02:04Yeah.

01:02:05By the manager.

01:02:07She's a witch.

01:02:08She's a what?

01:02:09A witch.

01:02:10She puts poison in my milk.

01:02:13Oh, I see.

01:02:16Look.

01:02:17She switched the bottles when she isn't looking, you see.

01:02:20Drink her milk.

01:02:21Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:22Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:24Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:25Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:26Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:27Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:28Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:29Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:30Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:31Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:32Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:33Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:34Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:35Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:36Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:37Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:38Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:39Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:40Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:41Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:42Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:43Then you'll be safe, right?

01:02:44Oh, I... I had a little accident.

01:02:56Got a mop. I'll clean it up.

01:02:59We could be. I'll clean it up myself.

01:03:03Okay, mister.

01:03:14The place is called Bellevue Court.

01:03:35I drew this to memory, but it's pretty close.

01:03:37That's where he's hiding out, right there.

01:03:40Are you sure he's our man, Martin?

01:03:43Captain, I couldn't go wrong on that face.

01:03:44He's our man.

01:03:51Now, there are five cottages in this area,

01:03:54and two, number six and seven, in the L at the end of the row.

01:03:58Our man lives in number seven.

01:04:00The building department plan will show you the whole layout.

01:04:03It's founded on three sides by Fuller, Santa Monica, and Poinsettia.

01:04:07Now, the court is partly surrounded by a high wall.

01:04:09We'll show you the whole house.

01:04:11We'll show you the whole house.

01:04:12Green, homicide.

01:04:15So if you keep your eyes open until we get there.

01:04:18Morgan has just gone into his bungalow alone.

01:04:20Any questions?

01:04:22All right, you all have the instructions.

01:04:23Let's go.

01:05:54We're out on time.

01:06:06Wait five minutes.

01:06:07Go around and block the side entrance.

01:06:09Keep your lights off.

01:06:10Go around and block the side entrance.

01:06:40Go around and block the side entrance.

01:07:10Go around and block the side entrance.

01:07:40Go around and block the side entrance.

01:07:44What are you doing?

01:07:45I'm going to block the side entrance.

01:07:47I'm going to block the side entrance.

01:07:49I don't know.

01:07:50You're going to block the side entrance.

01:07:51Oh, my God.

01:07:52Come on.

01:07:53Come on.

01:08:23Come on.

01:08:53Come on.

01:09:23Come on.

01:09:53He's loose.

01:10:03I want a radio car in a hurry.

01:10:04I want a radio car in a hurry.

01:10:34It's in the vicinity of Santa Monica and Fuller.

01:10:36The murder suspect and the Rawlins killing is at large.

01:10:38I want a radio car in a hurry.

01:11:08I want a map covering the storm drain system in this area.

01:11:13Get it?

01:11:13Meet me at Venice and Garfield.

01:11:15Jones, Miller, you stay here in case he comes up for air.

01:11:18I want a man at every other drain entrance along this line.

01:11:22You've got to come up somewhere.

01:11:24Come on, Marty.

01:11:25You're driving.

01:11:25Keep this drain covered.

01:11:35Keep this drain covered.

01:11:51He's liable to pop out anywhere.

01:11:53He's liable to pop out anywhere.

01:11:53Why, Venice and Garfield, Captain?

01:12:14Why Venison Garfield, Captain?

01:12:18It's the main intersection of the system.

01:12:19We can head him off that way.

01:12:2080K to Control-1.

01:12:22Clear frequency 7.

01:12:23This is an emergency.

01:12:24Control-1 to all cars on frequency 7.

01:12:27Stand by.

01:12:28Control-1 to 80K.

01:12:29Go ahead.

01:12:30Notify homicide.

01:12:31Send the following to Venison Garfield.

01:12:33Four squads.

01:12:34Battle lanterns.

01:12:36Gas mask.

01:12:37Tear gas.

01:12:37Urgent.

01:12:38This is a code 3.

01:12:39Control-1 to 80K.

01:12:41Roger.

01:12:44And he'll probably head down this main drain to where it comes out of the Rio Hondo.

01:13:07Now, you take your squad and cover that exit.

01:13:09Right.

01:13:09He balls spare radio cars cruising back and forth along this main street.

01:13:12Watch the curb inlet.

01:13:14We'll go in here.

01:13:28Any kind of them?

01:13:29No.

01:13:30We've searched every foot between here and the Rio Hondo outlet.

01:13:33And he must be up ahead.

01:13:34Let's go.

01:13:35Let's go.

01:13:36Let's go.

01:13:37Let's go.

01:13:38Let's go.

01:13:39Let's go.

01:13:40Let's go.

01:13:43Let's go.

01:13:44Let's go.

01:13:53Let's go.

01:13:57Let's go.
