  Speaker 4: you downtown about? What? Howard Scully? What about him? We
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: know why I was here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I haven't done anything, lady, let's go.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: I told Sully I didn't want any He made the proposition,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: but I didn't buy it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: You know that I didn't buy a word of it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: We did.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Before the suspect was taken downtown, we informed her landlady
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: to tell anyone that she'd be out of town for
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: a week. That information was to be passed on any
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: of her friends or acquaintances who might try to contact it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: After that, we took May washburn back to the office
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: after being questioned thoroughly. She was detained for further investigation.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: At two pm, Ben and I met with Captain Kearney,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: sent for Narcotics and Inspector Virgil Beckner, State Narcotics Bureau
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Southern Division one.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Hundred thousand dollars buy?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Is that what they have in mind?
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: That's the word around Tom's gipper. Washburn girl told us
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: the same thing washburon the one was the approach for an office.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Huh, yes, that's right, Beck. She was ready to go
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: when we picked her up. Pusher's Howard Scully. You remember
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: him about nine years ago, wasn't it? The two want to.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Do eight or nine years?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that big heroin by They tagged every one of
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the gang, but Scully.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's no Amazon. He's got every narcotic law on
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: the book memorized. He sets the deals, takes the gravy,
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: but he never gets tagged. How about the federal narcotics
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: men and Romara. They've been briefed on this deal.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I called Harry Steono that this morning. They've been following
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: it too, so he'd be over this afternoon. The setup
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: with this PC Millan guy, What do you think? Clear
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: sailing their Beck? As far as I can see, Scully
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: set up to meet with May Washburn, Ben and Joe
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: grabbed her before she could contact with Milan. As Scully's
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: got ouiji board, he still must figure everything's Jake.
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: And then we could have a man meet with Scully
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: tonight and pass himself off as McMillan.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: There shouldn't be too much trouble. From the way he talks.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Scully's never seen McMillan, has no idea what he looks like.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: It's just a guess. Neither one of you are known
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: to Scully, are you? I never met him or his friends.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I worked that case last February of when we grat
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Ray Mardick. He used to be a meal for Scully.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: That's suppose I've been. I'm afraid that's too close. You
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: know how many high friends Murdoch.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Has in this town.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: If any of them spots him passed the words the Scully,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: the whole deal's choked off. Joe, you think you could
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: pass yourself off as McMillan for a couple of days,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Like to give it a try back.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: What do you think? Good? As me? We can help
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: with the tailing. Only one possible hitch, I can see.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: We're not positive this guy McMillan is a total stranger
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: the Scully.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: And sure sounded like it didn't in Joe Westcully and
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the Wissman girl would talk.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: It's possible Scully, he might have seen a picture of McMillan.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: Maybe he knows something on his background, his habits, how
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: he does business as possible. Yeah, suppose Scully starts asking
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: the questions, Joe, how are you gonna come it?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Well, we could talk to the Washburne girl again. She
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: might brief us.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Now if we the guy's life history, let's pick it
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: up firsthand. Honeyman ket mc millan.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Late that afternoon, Stanley McMillan was located at a small
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: restaurant out in the valley and quietly placed under arrest.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: He was booked at one of the outlying stations on
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: suspicion of violating the State Narcotics Act. We questioned him
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: and got all the necessary information on his background that
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: we needed. He told us that he had never seen
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: or had any dealings before with Howard Scully. Seven thirty
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: p m. I went home, changed my clothes, put away
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: my gun, ID card and the rest of my identification.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: An hour later, I checked in at a small hotel
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: near Fifth and Main Streets.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Eleven fifteen p m.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I left the hotel and started for Seventh in Alameda Streets,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: where the scheduled meet with Howard Scully was to take place.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: As in most cases, there was one all important rule
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: that I had to work by. If the suspects were
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: to be arrested and successfully prosecuted, we had to get
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: them with narcotics in their possession or under their control.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: And one of the first things that the working detective
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: learns is the dealers such as Scully, rarely do the
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: actual handling of narcotics except at the actual moment of sale.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: If the officer fails to make an arrest at that moment,
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the odds are stacked heavily against the conviction.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Of the narcotics criminal.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Eleven thirty PM, I got to the corner of Seventh
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: and Alameda Streets. I walked up to a man standing
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: by the lamppost with short, heavily built, dark haired, dark eyes,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: and the small scar in his chin. He had on
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: a gray coat and he carried a book under one arm.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I put out my hand. Yes, my name's McMillan.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, glad name, miss mc millan. My name is Scully.
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: Quiet understand we have a Mitchell friends, Is that Craig.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm told.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: You're from Louisiana originally New Orleans.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: No Oh, it's so. I thought you were from Louisiana
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: or Missouri Saint Louis. Oh, I see, I suppose we
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: go for drive. My hotel's down on fifth. We could
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: talk there. Oh, I think my cow would be better
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: when I can't afford to waste time, I get customers waiting.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: Oh, you can believe me, this won't be a waste
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: of time. I'm prepared to do business.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I must go.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Fine, O, correat, thanks. How will you raise a handling
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: the other side?
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: So I get yeah, sure, fine, thank you. You can't
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: be too careful in la, I hear. Yeah, that's right.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of heat. Oh, I hope now that's on.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You don't worry. I'm clean now tumbles. Would I be
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: here for there were? I got customers to protect, good customers. Fine,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: you know right, we can do business. How much can
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: you handle it? How much you got? How about ten
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: thousand worths? Standard? Right for measure on the cut of
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the sounds fair.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: We drove three more blocks, and then Scully pulled the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: kit of a stop underneath the road of spreading palm
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: trees on a deserted street. He pulled the emergency brake
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: on and he turned to me, clamped my arms to
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: my side, shook me down.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: What's the pitch here?
• 14:02

• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't have to pull that careful stuff with me.

  Speaker 5: Who set up this meat anyway?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: May all right? If you can't trust her, you can't
• 14:27

  Speaker 4: Well midnight. Now, what do you expect me to do?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Bring the money with me hour to pick you up
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: at three am the same corner. Sure, it doesn't give
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: me much time.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: It's enough of time if you're really looking, If you're
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: just shopping, we forget about it right now.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: A lot of my customers live out of town.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: That's interesting.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Ten grand is no geezer.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Suppose I can't get all the money together, then don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: show up all or nothing.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: You are listening to dragnet authentic stories of your police
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: force in action.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: June twenty fifth, Thursday, twelve thirty am. I had two
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: and a half hours to raise ten thousand dollars the
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: narcotics dealers.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Howard Scully and.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: His partner Jim Rhodes had laid it out for me.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Either I had the money by three am or there
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: was no deal. If it failed to come off, our
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: plan to trap the narcotics gang would be worth nothing.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Roads in Scully could possibly find another buyer without our knowledge,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: make a deal and flood the market with their store
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: of narcotics. I knew it'd be impossible to get the
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars together. Had only one alternative, fake our
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: way as best we could. I went back to the hotel,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: put a call through to Captain Kearney at the office
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: and told him what had happened.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: He went to work on it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: From the narcotic Details emergency fund set up for such purposes,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: we got together six hundred dollars from Chief of Detective's
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Thad Brown, Deputy Chief White State Narcotics Bureau, and anyone
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: else available by phone. We succeeded in rounding up another
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: three hundred and fifty dollars two thirty am. The money
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: was tied in two small bundles with hundreds, fifties and
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: twenties on top. One dollar bills were sandwiched in between.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: The two bundles were placed in a briefcase and delivered
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to me at the hotel on Fifth Street. The gun
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: was also in the briefcase. I took it out, put
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: it in my pocket, closed the briefcase. Two forty five am.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I left the hotel with the money and started for
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: the big meat. Three am, seventh and Alimeter.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Like Mela Scully, We're down this way.

  Speaker 6: Don't worry, it's a safe place, okay. Three point thirty
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: five am. In another hour, it'd start getting light. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: knew they'd planned to have the by take place before then.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: According to our plan, Ben and Sergeant Hunt, along with
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: the other team of men from the State Narcotics Bureau,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: they were to tail us to the place of the
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: meet and move in on a signal from me when
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: the by was actually in progress.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Three forty five am, Scully drove.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Out north figure Row on to Pasadena, Avenue and turned
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: right onto Avenue forty three.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: We headed up Montecito Drive. The area became more deserted.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: There were no homes around, no buildings of any kind
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: to provide cover for anybody that might be following. Somewhere below,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: we could hear the rattle of a freight train on
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: its way to the Southern Pacific. Yards off in the distance,
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I could see the lights of the city. I looked
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: pretty far away. Scully finally pulled the car to a
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: stop on the crest of the highest hill in the area.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: When we got out, what do you think make.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: A nice view?
• 22:04

• 22:20
  Speaker 6: trapped up here.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Pretty smart. This is the way I like to deal.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: There's any cops following us, we can see the lights
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: before they get here. Ony time cover up any evidence.
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: Cops ask questions, We tell them we're just looking at

• 26:47
  Speaker 2: names were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: In a moment, the results of their trial. Now here
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: is our star, Jack Webb, thank you.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: In his training, the working detective has taught the importance
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: of thoroughness is learn never to overlook even the smallest detail.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: What may seem unimportant to the novice may well be
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: the one thing to help the working detective successfully culminate
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: his case.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: May Washburn, Howard Lewis, Kelly, James Henry Rhodes, and John
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Swede Nelson were tried and convicted. They receive their sentences
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: as prescribed by law and are now serving their term
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: in the state penitentiary. You have just heard Dragnet, a
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: series of authentic cases portions transcribed from official files.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. This is one of my all time favorite
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Dragnet episodes. The whole subgenre of Dragnet episodes where Joe
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Friday goes undercover to make a narcotics is one I
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: really enjoy, but this one particular is just brilliant because
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Friday is operating in a very high risk situation and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: is able to manipulate the criminals and overcome they're carefully
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: well thought out pre cautions. There's also a lot of
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: nerve with going into the drug buy with so little
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: of the money that's required. It's such a ticklish operation,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: but he manages to make it work out by never
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: breaking character and always making subtle moves in a way
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that the bad guys weren't going to get suspicious about.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: It's just such a great story and such a great
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: undercover operation. Well, now we turn to listener comments and feedback,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and we have a really good question from YouTube, and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the listener writes, Adam, do you have any idea why
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: so many episodes of the original Dragon At TV series
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: are lost or missing? For me, it doesn't make sense.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: The show was popular in syndication well into the seventies.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I might understand if the original films would go missing
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and you're left with bad copies, or if only short
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and syndicated edits are the only available ones, which would
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: rk me to know end, But perhaps half the series
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: vanished what happened. By comparison, Superman had a similar run,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and all but one episode from the first season had
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: their original masters accounted for, So for that one episode,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the names escaped me at the moment, were left with
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a less than desirable copy, but at least we have
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: it in some form. Well, thanks so much. Now the answer,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and this is the best information I've been able to find,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: comes back to syndication, and in many ways, the nineteen
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: fifties Dragnet TV series was a victim of the success
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixties TV series because, according to Hayde,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, after Dragnet not to sixty seven through
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: seventy went off the air, it began to replace the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifties TV series in syndication, which makes sense that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: viewers would want to see the newer series. And there's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a reason for that as well, given that one of
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the appeals of Dragnet originally was that it dealt with
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the way police actually worked, and so in that regards,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: it would be more interesting to see programs that were
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: recorded three or four years ago as opposed to programs
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that were recorded fifteen or twenty years ago. And I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: think to a lot of people, the nineteen sixties Dragnet
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: became Dragnet. It became the product that was really sold,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and the nineteen fifties series wasn't, And it was so
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: neglected that NBCU Universal neglected to renew the copyrights on
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the entirety of the first three seasons of Dragnet, as
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: well as about a third of the fourth season, The
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: copyrights to most of season four and all of seasons
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: five and six would be renewed, but season seven wouldn't
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: be renewed, nor would most of season eight, And so
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: today it's safe to say that Dragnet as a property
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: is not particularly commercially viable. And that's an important distinction
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: with a Superman. The Adventures of Superman TV series was
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: often being re syndicated. There was no real later series
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that took its place until arguably the nineties with Lewis
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: and Clark, the New Adventures of Superman. With Dragnet of
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties, you're dealing with something that essentially became
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: obsolete to what the copyright owners were doing, and which
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: is not particularly commercially profitable. Now.
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Of course, there are all.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Kinds of stories out there about what happened to Dragnet
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: tapes and transfers. As far as I know, there's not
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a large official archive of all the episodes, and there's
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: no incentive for NBAC to maintain those. And when we
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: talk about episodes of the nineteen fifties Dragnet TV series
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that are out there, we're talking about those which are
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: known to be easily available to collectors, which numbers are
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: around sixty odd episodes of the two hundred and seventy
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: six that were produced during the series eight year run.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: There are a number of episodes that are not publicly
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: available that are of or in existence elsewhere. If you
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: go to the Pailey Center at UCLA, the news ZIM
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of Broadcasting in Chicago, or the Library of Congress in Washington,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: d C. Or a wide variety of different other places
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that hold individual episodes, you'll find more than is circulating.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: And then of course you have private collectors who may
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: have an episode or two or three and could be
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: spread throughout the entire country. And I think in all
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: those cases the programs exist, but it doesn't actually get
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to all the people out there. In the case of
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: those that are held by institutions, they're not in the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: business of publishing publicly or television programs, and of course
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: there are liability issues if they're dealing with the non
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: public main episodes. And for private collectors, there's really not
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a potential for profit, and they did not get into
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: collecting these episodes, the most of them with the goal
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of publishing them, and there's rarely money in selling the
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: episodes they have in their collections. There are exceptions, for example,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: when the nineteen sixties Dragnet episodes were being released on DVD.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: A gentleman who was making the DVD extras actually got
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a collector who owned a copy of the Dragnet episode
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: The Big Smoke to sell them a copy to include
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: as a DVD extras. Now, of course, there aren't any
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: new Dragnet nineteen sixties DVD releases being made, so there's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: really not a commercial opportunity for most collectors. So we're
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: left with a situation where where if new Dragnet episodes
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: come into circulation, it's going to be in drips and drops.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: For example, there's a company that has a YouTube channel
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: that came across three rare season seven episodes, I think
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: about a year ago, and so there will be those
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: little random editions. But I think the status of the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: whole series makes it very commercially difficult to assemble a
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: complete set, and there's just not the incentive to do that.
• 35:33
