The sun shines bright,
the beaches are wide and inviting...

...and the orange groves
stretch as far as the eye can see.

There are jobs aplenty and land is cheap.
5

Every workingman
can have his own house...
6
00:00:32,283 --> 00:00:36,996
...and inside every house,
a happy, all-American family.

You can have all this.
And who knows?

He runs dope, rackets and prostitution.

does it in style.

on the front page...
26
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:44,313
...it's a black eye
for the image of Los Angeles.
27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,941
Because how can organized crime exist...
28
00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:50,653

- Throwing me?
- Yeah, Exley, what's the payoff?

Well, if they're making you detective,

As a politician, he exceeds even myself.
377

The department needs
smart men like Exley...

Is this your daughter, Mrs. Lefferts?
507

I don't know.
508
00:34:17,765 --> 00:34:20,434
We know this is difficult.
Just take your time.
509
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:24,480
It seems like my Susan...
510
00:34:24,647 --> 00:34:27,608
...but my Susan was a blond,
not a redhead.
511
00:34:27,775 --> 00:34:29,652
When was the last time you saw her?
512
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:32,112
Just before Christmas.

CORONER: Mrs. Lefferts, does your daughter
have any distinguishing characteristics?
515
00:34:41,163 --> 00:34:44,124
You got the wrong idea, mister.
I'm fine.
516
00:34:44,959 --> 00:34:48,128

She has a birthmark on her hip.

It's her.

Who's in charge of this investigation?

00:35:07,356 --> 00:35:08,857
Captain Smith and myself.

SMITH:
"The Nite Owl Massacre."

Hyperbole aside...

00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:18,784
...this is a heinous crime
that requires swift resolution.

00:35:19,702 --> 00:35:20,828
Six victims.

One of them one of our own.
Dick Stensland.
528
00:35:23,872 --> 00:35:28,294
As it happens, he was a Nite Owl regular,
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
529
00:35:28,711 --> 00:35:30,671
Robbery is the likely motive.
530
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:32,965
We have rubber-glove smears
on the register...
531
00:35:33,132 --> 00:35:37,094
...and preliminary forensics strongly tend
towards a trio of shooters.
532

We do have one hot lead,
so listen well.

...were seen discharging shotguns
last night in Griffith Park.
535
00:35:45,728 --> 00:35:49,773
A park ranger ID'd them as driving
a 1948 to 1950 Mercury coupe...

...maroon in color.
537
00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:55,529
An hour ago, a canvassing crew
turned up a news vendor...
538
00:35:55,696 --> 00:35:59,408
...who saw a maroon Merc parked
across from the Nite Owl around 1 a.m.
539
00:35:59,908 --> 00:36:03,704
DMV has come up with
a registration list of Merc coupes.

Forty-eight two-man teams will shake
three names apiece.

zero chance of making this collar.

south of Jefferson.

Thank you for what you did for me...

Sure.

You remember what time

In your statement, you said
they left you at midnight.

They might have.

- I don't know what time they left me.

When I was 12, my old man went after
