From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Thursday, July 18th. It was sultry in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of robbery detail. My partner's Ed Jacobs. The boss is Captain Didion. My name's Friday. It was 1.35 PM when we got back to the city hall, the interrogation room. What's the matter, Mr. Grabby? Yeah, sorry. You want to call the captain? They had to let him know we're back. OK. I'd still like to know what this is all about, Sergeant. Dragging me down here in the middle of the day. I've got it off. Just a minute. Yeah, I just got back. All of them? Really? Yeah, the interrogation room, right? All this check in, yeah? Yeah, all back. Worked out fine. Would you please explain what this is about, why you brought me down here? We think you know why. I don't. I haven't any idea. Take me away from my store on a busy day. You put a police guard on it. You insist on bringing me down here. What's it all about? Tell me. No, you tell us, Mr. Grabby. Tell you about what? A jewel robbery nine months ago that holdup. What holdup? My store hasn't been robbed. Talk about your friend, Thomas Axley. Axley, what about him? We think you remember it nine months ago. Parking a lot back at the building down on Poist Street. Oh, sure. Some holdup man slugged him, stole his case of samples that I remember it now. Poor Tom, the thief made a big haul, didn't he? Unset dime is $20,000 worth. I remember it now. I don't think Tom's gotten over it yet. He was a jewelry salesman for the same company at the time. You know, the same company Tom was working for. Yeah, we go all the way. Some of the big bosses thought Tom had a hand in it. They figured it was a put up job. Nothing was further from the truth. That's all. Sure, I know Tom. He's a close friend of mine. He wouldn't be mixed up in a deal like that. Tom and I worked out of the same office for years. We've had him over the house for dinner. We've even been on vacations together. He's one of the most honest men I know. Are we sure of all the signs? Of course I'm sure. And that isn't why you called me down here. Is it? You don't think Tom had anything to do with that robbery, do you? You don't think he was in on it? Yeah, nothing to do with it. I think you know that as well as we do. Well, and why am I here? There's nothing I can tell you about the hold up. Only what I heard from Tom, what I read in the news. No, you can tell us a lot more, Garvey. We didn't bring you here just past time of day. Tom was slugged, and his sample cases of stones were taken. That's all I can tell you. You're a liar, Mr. What? You engineered the whole thing. We know it, and so do you. Was this some kind of a joke? If it is, I think it's in very long way from a joke. Garvey, you planned the job. You got the loot. We can give you a chapter in verse. I really think you're serious. You think I robbed Tom? We're past the thinking stage, Garvey. We already told you. We know you robbed him. Oh, wait a minute. This thing is ridiculous. The whole idea is ridiculous. I don't know who gave you the so-called information on me, but it's wrong. There's nothing further from the truth. Nobody gave us the information. We got it ourselves. You're really serious, are you? I robbed Tom, and you can prove I did. You're getting the idea. I don't know what to say. Fantastic. I robbed my best friend Tom Ashley nine months ago. I have $20,000 worth of diamonds, and you can prove it. Every bit of it. What about it? I think you're out of your mind. My name's George Garvey. You sure I'm the man you want? There couldn't be a mistake. No, there's no mistake. This thing would be funny if I didn't think you were serious. Let me ask you just one question. Maybe that'll clear it up for you. If I held up Tom Ashley, how is it he didn't recognize? You know better than that, Garvey. What? You didn't hold up Tom Ashley yourself. He had someone do it for you. Oh, well, cloak and dagger. I'm afraid this is getting a little too wild for me, Sergeant. Maybe you can waste time making ridiculous charges. I can't. I'm going back to my store. It's a weak bluff, Mr. It's not going to do it. Excuse me. Are you sure you two men haven't been drinking? Sit down, Mr. Garvey. I told you I'm going back to my store. Sit down. Look, you have no right to keep me here. These are ridiculous charges. You think I'm one of those cheap hoodlums you used to dealing with? No, I'll not come off it, Mr. You've got a $5,000 car and a $40,000 home. That doesn't rate you a special treatment. You're a thief, and you know it as well as we do. I don't have to take this from you. You haven't got much choice. We just finished five months' legwork proving it. Proving what? I know. Sit down, there. You engineered that holdup. We know who you got to do it. We know how it was carried out. We know how you planned on disposing of the diamonds. We know who your friends was. We know what the split was. We know what you did with part of the money. We know how much you got left. Is that right? Yeah, that's right. What can I say? I don't even know what you're talking about. Any way you want it, Mr. Garvey. Maybe you'd like to tell me why I did all this. You're not better than we do. No, I mean it. Tell me. You weren't making enough money at your job to suit yourself. Suit your wife either. That's pretty good. Marilyn would get a big kick out of that. All right, fella. We can wait it out as long as you want. We spent nine months on this already. In another few days, I'm going to make that much difference. Just as a matter of curiosity, how'd you first start off on this tangent? Whatever gave you the idea that I had anything to do with a holdup? When you started to spend money. New car, new office for yourself, fur coat for your wife, transferred your two children to that private school. And that makes a holdup man out of me, because I wanted to send my kids to a better school. Where did the money come from? Can you explain that? But you think that's my business sergeant before I get my money? What I do with it? Not when you get it stealing. I'm afraid you're going just a little too far. You insist I'm a thief. I'm going to insist you prove it. All right. Have a look over here, Mr. Garry. Yeah? Some of the reports on the investigation. Reams of them. They cover everything from the time of the Jewel robbery up to late yesterday. It's all right there. Everything from the crime report to sign statements. How are that concerned me? Three quarters of the stuff concerns you. Have a look for yourself. I still can't get it straight in my mind. What makes you think I had anything to do with that robbery? You know what this is, Mr. Garvey? This machine right here. No? Some kind of recording apparatus? That's right. It's a tape recorder. You've been taking down this conversation. And why? No, not this one. We've been recording every conversation that took place in your office for the last four months, every word. What do you mean? Just that, Mr. Garvey. Every time you talked on the phone, every visitor you had, it's all down on tape. 25 reels of it. Interesting. Is that supposed to frighten you? No, no. We don't care if it frightens you or not. Something else here. Yes? Reports on what you've been doing for the last four months. Daily reports. Every movement you made. That's so. Everywhere you went, everybody you talked to, everything you did. Want to hear a sample? This must be some kind of a joke. That's the only explanation I can think of. May 12th, Thursday. Sergeant Bitteroff and Rafferty. Those are the two officers who were tailing you at the time. You checked in at your new office at 938 AM. At 1003 AM, you had a visitor, Kenneth Tyson. You talked to him in your office. Conversations recorded. Tyson left at 1018 AM at 1032 AM. You left your office. If you're trying to impress me, I'm afraid it isn't working out very well. You care for a cigarette, don't you? No, thanks. I have my own. All right. Well, I've wasted enough time. Exactly what's the point of all this? Pretty simple. You're responsible for a robbery. You can prove it. We're giving you the chance to make a statement. It's nonsense. Is it? Of course. People following me, checking everything I do, where I spend my money, where I send my kids to school. What's it all about? That doesn't make any sense. All right, Mr. Garvey. We've said it before. We can wait it out as long as you want. Look, let's get this thing straight. Let's go back to the beginning and take it step by step. That's fine. The hold up was last fall, wasn't it? Sometime in October. October 7th, Monday at 5.20 in the afternoon. All right. Now, just what am I supposed to have done? None of your vague references about a new quote from my wife or where I send my kids to school. Let's have some facts. Joe? All right, Mr. Garvey. You went to work as a jewelry salesman for the company 10 years ago. Your friend Tom Ashley, the victim, started the same year. The two of you have been pretty close friends. That's right. I told you that. I will skip the rest of your background for now. Two weeks before the robbery on September 24th, you had a meeting with Kenneth Tyson. We met in the cafeteria on South Broadway. Tyson's 19 years old. Lives with an older sister. He works in the gas station on Olympic Boulevard. He's done some work in your car for you. That's how you happen to know him. I think I remember the boy. I don't know him well, though. I don't recall the meeting. You know the boy very well. At the time of the meeting, you promised him $1,000 if you'd hold up your friend, Tom Ashley. Ridiculous. Tyson agreed to it, and you briefed him on the plan. The following day, you gave him a gun. 32 caliber Smith & Wesson, serial number 362741. Now, since where did you get that information? Tyson. Well, he's lying. Believe me, if he told you that, he's lying. Is he the one who robbed Tom? October 7th, at your direction. He was in the parking lot behind the Hunter Cross Well building. Tom Ashley came out to get in his car. He had his case of sampled diamonds with him. Tyson held him up, slugged him, took the stones, and got away. Of course it's obvious. Tyson's trying to say, I put him up to it. He's trying to get out of it that way. Not Mr. Garvey. Boy couldn't have carried off and hold up by himself. Of course he could. It's obvious he's trying to cover up. There were six people in the company you worked for who knew that on Mondays, Ashley always took the case of sampled diamonds long when he made his calls. Only on Monday, you were one of the people who knew that. I suppose you've considered the other five people. They were all checked out at the time. They were all cleared. You along with them? But I'm not clear anymore, is that it? This young hoodlum Tyson, you're willing to take his word over mine? After the robbery, he took the case of diamonds to you. There was a next day. You paid him $500 and promised him the other $500 when he got rid of the stones. Oh, I suppose I've gotten rid of them, or do I still have them? Two months after the hold up, he contacted a plant something in San Francisco. He drove up there and sold him some of the stones, and he broke them up and sold them. We know who he sold them to. We know what he got for them. Well, this fence, he's supposed to be another good friend of mine. He's still doing business with them. His name's Fred Lawrence. Who went on me? I don't know any Fred Lawrence. Can't even recall the name. Now, maybe this will help you, Mr. Garvey. Listen to him on the tape recorder. It's reel four in the dead. Yeah, I think so. They're all labeled there, right on the back of the box. Yeah, here we are. Well, what's all this about? Phone conversation, Mr. Garvey. One of the things we recorded from your office told you about it before. Let's say this one was on March 18th. I always thought wiretapping was against the law, or do you pay any attention to that? We didn't get up your telephone line. We recorded everything from the tech to grabs we installed in your store and back in your office. They started recording the day you moved in and that was the first of March, wasn't it? I don't know why you're telling me I can sue you for that, you know. I can sue you for your last dollar. All we're concerned with right now is Fred Lawrence. You say you don't know. Why can't you listen to this? This was recorded March 18th in your office. OK, here we go. You on? Mr. Lawrence? Yeah, I'm sure, put him on. Hi, Fred, how are you? Good. How are they? Fine, no need at all. I'm fine, no need at all. I believe in you, you're a good kid. All right. All right, where? I don't know, it might not be too good if you're sitting down here. Only the clock, 8.30. OK, fine, suppose 8.30 is tonight. Bye, Fred. Bye. Mr. Garvey, you recognize that? How about it, Garvey? I understand they can do clever things with tape recorders nowadays. There's a way of piecing words together, isn't there? They can record your voice and then fix the tape, take a simple sentence and change the words around them and mean just the opposite. When you examine the tape, if you like, it didn't make a splice in it, or you'll find a usable factory splice. It's just where it comes from the manufacturer. What difference does it make anyway? There's nothing criminal about that conversation, nothing at all. We told us a few minutes ago you didn't know Fred Lawrence. You never heard of him on that recording. It sounds like you know him pretty well. Fairly common name, wouldn't you say? Must be quite a few Fred Lawrence's. That didn't happen to remember their name right off. How about Tyson? What? He told us you didn't know him well at all. I don't. Well, it didn't sound that way on that tape, did it? You were telling Lawrence that he was all right. You said, believe me, he's a good kid. You know what you said? Now, how about it, miss? How about what? Is this some kind of a frame? What are you trying to make me say? We're not going to make you say anything, Garvey. We work robbery detail. That's a job robbery. Is that pay to clean them up? I can pay you. What? Never mind. I didn't mean that. I mean, I pay my taxes. I pay your salaries. I help too, anyway. I don't know why I have to be treated like this. No reason to make a big headache out of this for anybody, Garvey. Now, you're engineered to hold up. We can prove that. We're giving you a chance to make a statement. That's all we want here. I've got nothing to say. Make a statement about what? All you're going on is hearsay, circumstantial evidence. You can't say I plan that, Rob. But you admit you know Tyson. You know him well. I don't. I admit nothing. What about phone conversation? It's a fake. They phony those things up all the time. You know it as well as I do. You admit you know Fred Lawrence. Prove that from the recording. I admit nothing. You don't even know Tyson. Is that what you want to say? I know him. That's all. He worked on my car a couple of times. I don't know him well. No, all right, sir. I'll explain you another recording. It's a waste of time. I haven't got the whole day to spend here. I got to get back to my store. I've got a business to offer. That's OK, very well. Yeah, here we are. April 5th. A lot of foolishness, anyway. How do I know you made those recordings? Could have gotten acting. Maybe you made them up yourself. There weren't any dictographs. You make those things. There were dictographs, Mr. Garvey. Remember before you moved into that new suite of offices you had them redecorated? Yeah. There were sound technicians from our crime lab out. They were working side by side with the painters and carpenters. Installed dictographs in your store and back in your office. They bugged the entire place. Wiretapping. I'll bring this into court if it's the last thing I do. Well, we already told you, Mr. Garvey. It's not wiretapping. We didn't touch your phone, right? We didn't have to. It's an invasion of privacy. I'm going to take this into court. Yeah, well, let's listen to this recording. I'll clear up a few things. Clear up what? What are you trying to prove? OK, Joe. Yeah, it's coming in here. See you down in this vehicle. Yeah, man. Oh, Tyson. Well, does he know I'm in? Yeah, OK, send him back. Yeah, good morning. Hi, Mr. Garvey. Ken, how are you? Come on in and sit down. Thanks. How are you doing, anyway? Pretty good. Trying to get a hold of you last week. It's so hard to do. You know, I didn't bring much. Pretty busy. I understand the time of year. You know, it keeps you going. You know, I don't want to waste any time. I'd like to know how the deal is working out. Going back east to Albany next month. I'd like to get the rest of my money if I could. Just like I told you the last time, Ken, I'm sending the stuff north. I hope to hear it in a couple of days. Yeah, I know. That's what you told me before. It was a pretty heavy job. I could use a monthly. I mean, it wasn't so heavy. I wouldn't mind that. I got it coming, I think. Of course you do, Ken. There's no credit in there. It's just that I hadn't got it right. Believe me, you'd have it in a minute if it was mine again. Yeah, but that was the agreement. Wasn't this 500 before the job, 500 after? And have a last October, which is a pretty good stretch. No, Ken, I told you the truth. I just haven't got it. Why don't you drop back in a week or so? How about it, Mr. Garvey? What do you say to that? It's ridiculous, that's all. Well, it's an obvious fake. You can look the tape if you like. In fact, if you can check every one of the 25 reels, we'll play every one of them right if you want. Fakes and they're bad ones aren't that. Now look, I'll give you both a chance. Either you book me in on a charger or else release me. You try booking me in and I'll sue you for false arrest. I'll break you, I'll sue you blind. I can promise you that. Release me and I'll get back to work. I'll forget all about it. Now you name it, which one? Book me in or release me? Oh, that's fair enough. You're going to give us a choice. I bet it's fair. You could get in a lot of hot water. Now it's up to you, which one? That block, mister. All right, we're booking you in.

Thursday, 3.55 p.m., Ed Jacobs and I continued questioning the robbery suspect, Ernest Garvey. Despite the evidence at hand, he still refused to admit any knowledge of the $20,000 jewel theft nine months before. The questioning went on. Garvey's answers became more and more confused. We kept pressing, laying out the case against him step by step. 4 p.m., 4.30, we stayed at it. Must have taken quite a bit of money, didn't Garvey? My wife's new fur coat, new car for yourself. Where'd he come from? Now, look, there has to be an answer. Where'd that money come from? Simple. I borrowed it. Where'd you borrow it? Some from friends, some from the banks. I don't see how it concerns you. How much money did you borrow? Don't you think that's my business? Wasn't it about $7,000? Is that about right? Yeah. No, it was more. Well, what's the difference? It's my business. You want to grab that folder, then? One of the dark brown... That's it. Got it. Complete financial filing, Mr. Garvey. Took us quite a few weeks getting this together. A lot of work. You're just like snooping in other people's affairs. No, not especially. It's pretty dull. Here's a copy of your bank statement. It's a photo stat. It doesn't make much sense. What do you mean? Well, we checked your income for that month. I'm out of the $620.18. Your bank statement here shows you made deposits totaling $760 a same month. Now, how is that possible? Well, for your information, I made a loan that month. That's probably some of the loan money I deposited. I quit my old job that time. I was going in business for myself. I needed the money to redecorate the new store and the office. It's as simple as that. Now, the photo stats of your loan paper is right here. The loan was for $2,000 a month. Before that, February, he'd bought from another bank and see for $3,000. Made another one in April too. That was for 1,500 different bank again. That's right. Do we have to go over this line by line? In three months, you made bank loans for $6,500. Besides that, in the same three months, you earned a total of $1,713.88. Together, that makes $8,213.88. What's the point? Top is your bank statements, Garvey. You have five different savings accounts and five different banks. They show from February to April the same three months you made deposits of more than $11,000. Now, how do you explain that? Garvey, any explanation? It's almost five o'clock. Can I use the phone? I have to call my wife and let her know. All right. We'll have to listen in on the extension. The conversation is going to be more or less. Go ahead. I don't care. Okay. Dial nine to get an outside line. Put the stats today for the exam, Garvey. You want to give us an explanation? You only had $8,200. How could you bank $11,000? It had to come from somewhere, didn't it? It's purely a personal matter. That's all. I borrowed $3,000 from a brother of mine and lived back in Minnesota. You'd already made three loans. Why'd you have to borrow from your brother? You mind telling him? Yes. As a matter of fact, I do. Well, that still doesn't balance the books, Mr. Garvey. You earned and borrowed $8,200. You got another $3,000 from your brother. You say that's $11,200. You banked $11,000. That's right. You always have to repeat it. That'd leave you with $200. You and your family lived for three months on $200. Is that enough? That could easily be. A lot of people do it. Yes, but not your family. I'm getting sick and tired of this. You're trying to tell me, you know, my family better than I do, what they eat, what they spend, what it takes to support them. We've been on this thing for nine months, Garvey. We've put in a lot of hours. We know your family pretty well. If you'd like, I'll try to do the last time you ordered steak from the meat market when you paid your gas bill. The last time your wife bought a pair of shoes. I guess this is a standard procedure for you on threatening TV. We're threatening you, Mr. Garvey. We're giving you facts. Another filing. It took us over a month to get this one together. A complete record of your expenses from February 1st covers February, March, April, May, June. I hope the police department has a good lawyer, sergeant. You've got a fair warning. You say you and your... I'm sorry, go ahead. I hope the police department has a good lawyer, sergeant. You've got fair warning. I'm going to sue you for your last hour. Let me say you and your family lived three months on $200. That doesn't jive of what we've got here. Take a look if you want to. It's all lies. It's all lies. I promise you. A photo of the receipt for your wife's coat, Garvey. $1,612.34. That includes the tax paid in full. A photo of the contract for your new car down payment $2,000. A liquor bill for the big party you threw in March, March 20th. A liquor bill, $387. A catering bill, $194. A full year's check for tuition, room and board for your kids at the private school where you sent them to $1,864.07. That's only the beginning, Garvey. It comes to a lot more than $200. Have you heard enough? I better try to get my wife again. I have to let her know. They had a new handling extension. No, yeah. All right, go ahead. Down on to get outside, Garvey. Yeah, I know. Well, wait a couple of minutes. She'll get through. Gabbin on the phone all day long. Gabbin on the phone and play cards. It's all she ever does. Got some more figures here for you, Garvey. Be a good idea if you're here. I'm still for two more parties you threw last month's food bills. Why do you have to keep pushing that stuff at me? So you've been sneaking around, finding out about my personal affairs. That's supposed to be good police work. You carried off a robbery, Garvey. We're giving you a chance to make a statement. Why should I? What for? Give you a statement? Have you twisted around? Incriminate me? I haven't had anything to do with this kid, Tyson. I better try that call. Well, down on first. I know. I know you told her. That hurt. Stupid chiller. No, I'm trying to get her. What's the matter, Garvey? Don't forget down on. That's the same reel there. Just fan it over there to that other part, Ed. All right. Tyson, Mr. Garvey. Same place, the office. You say you had a dope for me today. You said to dig short. No, wait a minute, Tyson. I didn't say that at all. I said maybe I'd have it for you. I didn't say definitely. Look, I can't give you what I haven't got. I want the five minutes, Garvey. I need it. I stuck my neck out on a robbery, Joe. I get five to life. All right, Ed. You be true to me. There couldn't be any planer. No, what do you say? Wait a minute. Just a minute. All right. That's fine. She never couldn't be satisfied. Always more. She always had to have something else. How do you mean? You want? Playing cards, grabbing on the phone. That's all. She just kept writing me day in, day out. I wasn't making enough money. She didn't have any clothes. Kids ought to go to a better school. We ought to have a new house. On and on. I ought to go in business for myself. Make money. Lots of money. Same thing all the time. Talk, talk, talk. There's only so much you can take. You figured that Robert had solved the problem. Is that it? I guess so. I would have tried anything just to shut her up, get her off my bag for a while. I guess he got Tyson out. The other man, too. Fred Lawrence. Yeah, they were picked up this afternoon. Lawrence at the airport. Tyson and her show down town. All three of you, all at the same time. What about your wife, Garvey? She knew you planned this, Robert. I didn't tell her. I think she knows, though. Pretty sure she does. Maybe she'll be satisfied now. A lot of money. She ought to have it. Didn't even leave me enough to pay off that kid, Tyson. Private school for the children. Wall-to-wall carpets in the house. New dishwasher. New Coke. New car. Everything. She just had to have them. You want to take me? Book me in? I don't care. Well, I'm going to stop off down the hall. Take your statement. Sure. I don't care. All right. Let's go. Hey, just a minute, huh? Yeah. Let me take a minute. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On November 4th, trial was held in Superior Court, Department 87, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California. In a moment, the results of that trial. And now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you, George Fenerman. Friends, I make it a habit to carry two packs of Fatimas around with me. One's for my smoking. The second one's for smokers I see with other king-sized cigarettes. All I have to say is, here, compare Fatima. I know they're going to be sold on Fatimas the next time we meet. How about comparing Fatima yourself? You'll find Fatima's length filters the smoke 85 millimeters, cools the smoke, all for your protection. You get those extra puffs because Fatima is 21% longer than standard cigarette size.
