Two and one—ha/fmi/lion people live here,

Every month, 5, 000 more cm wa’ in.

Tourists spend overa billion,
one hundred million dollars ayear
in Southern California,

/z‘ ’s a big business.

On Olvera Street, you can buy
the best Mexican handcrafls
this side of Mexico City.

Anything you ’re looking for,
L os Ange/es has i t,

lfit’s forsa/e, you can buyit

Some people don ’t bother bringing money
They do theirshopping at the point ofa gun,

That’s when /come in.
/ car/ya badge,

/t was Tuesday,/une 74,
/t was clear in Los Ange/es.

We were working the day watch
out of Robbery Di Vision,

My partner’s Bill Gannon.
The boss is Captain Ho we.

My name is Friday

The Daily Occurrence Report is
a measurement of the city

/t’s all there:
burglaries, holdups, murders,

As the citygrows, the report grows,

Part of the extra weight was being
contributed b ya gang of armed thie ves,

specializing in
holding up cocktail lounges.

The count to date was six.
So far, nobodyhad been killed

Numberse ven might not be so lucky

[Man Narrating]
The story you are about to see is true.

The names have been changed
to protect the innocent

BiII.Joe.
[Together]
Morning, Skipper.

— How‘re you coming on
those cocktail Iounge 21 is?
— Nothing much so far.

M. 0. is always the same.
Four men wearing full—faced
red p/as tic masks.

Near as we can tell, they haven‘t hit
anything but cocktail Iounges— six so far.

Most/y around the Highland Park area.
Yea h.

— Suspects always drive a red Cadillac.
— Anything else on the car?

No license number,
but they all agree on one thing.

— What‘s that?
— It‘s an old model, red convertible.

—Anything show up in the F.I. cards?
— Nothing.

— [Phone Rings]
— Robbery, Howe.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, Lou. All right, thanks.

Maybe they got something foryou
over on Georgia Street.

— Yeah, what‘s that?
— Edwards and Beeson have
ajuvenile in custody for G.T.A.

— Picked up last night in Highland Park.
—Yeah?

Says he remembers seeing four men
in an old model, red Cad convertible.

[Friday Narra ting]
9:32 a. m. Bill and /
drove over to Georgia juvenile.

The interrogating ofiicers were
/ack Edwards and Frank Beeson.

Edwards told us the boy’s name
was Fred Til/ar, aged 77.

This was his second ofi‘ense.
He was on probation.

He‘s a cool one,Joe.
He won‘t give you much.
Yeah.

Copped out on three other auto thefts.
That‘s all we can get.

Right. Thanks,Jack.
Frank. Let us know
when you‘re through,Joe.

Right.

Got a couple more questions, son.
I already
talked to Edwards.

Talk to us. Tell us about
the four men in that Cadillac.
What about ‘em?

You know ‘em?
No.

You sure?
Edwards asked me
ifI ever lifted a Caddy.

Told him he must be kidding.
Man, those things are boats.

Me, I dig Mustangs.
They‘re really boss.
Where‘d you see it?

What?
The Cadillac.

Where the kids hang out.
You know, at the drive—in.
Where‘s that?

Sixth and Franklin,
but you‘re wasting your time.
Are we?

Sure, nobody‘d
steal that Caddy, man.
Why not?

Man, who‘d want it?
It‘s a piece ofjunk.

[Friday Narra ting]
7 2:28 p. m. Bill and / checked out
the drive—in Til/ar told us about

We asked a waitress namedAngie
ifshe had seen a red Cadillac.

Red Caddy? Sure, I remember it.
A couple ofwise kids. Teenagers.
Think they‘re clever.

Yes, ma‘am.
Do you remember their names?

Who remembers names?
I wait on cars, I don‘t wait on people.

You can spot ‘em, you know?
Take a Buick, always good for a tip.

Little foreign cars, forget it.
They stiffyou every time.
Can‘t get a nickel from ‘em.

Yes, ma‘am.
How many did you say were in the car?

Two, I think. Yeah, one‘s a large Coke,
the other one‘s a milk shake. Yeah, two.

— Could you describe them?
— Oh, no. Kids all look alike.

Like I said, one‘s a Coke,
and the other one‘s a milk shake. That‘s it.

When you took their order,
did they say anything? Mention a name?
Anything like that?

— One thing, maybe.
— Yes, ma‘am?

Well, they were kidding around,
you know, and the Coke says to
the milk shake, “It‘s robbery,“ he says.

“Yeah,“ he says, “Larry, she sure
robbed the cradle when she married you."

And the milk shakejust laughs.
Thought itwas real funny.

Larry. Is that the name he used?

Yeah, that‘s right. Larry. The Coke was
kidding him about his wife.
Claimed she looked more like his mother.

— Yes, ma‘am. Go on.
— And one more thing I remember.

— What‘s that?
— They didn‘t leave a tip.

— [Horn Honks ]
— [ No Audible Dialogue]

[Friday Narrating] We figured there was
a chance the suspect, known only
as Larry, could’ve been in trouble before.

lfso, the ofiicers at juvenile Division
might be able to help us again.

7:33 pm. We checked back
with 0fi7cer jack Edwards.

Hi,Jack.
Friday. Hi, Gannon.

Keeping you busy?
All the time.

We‘re looking fora kid,
first name Larry, no last name.
Chanceyou might‘ve handled him?

I might‘ve handled
a thousand Larrys.
Yeah, we know,Jack.

We got something
that might help.
What‘s that?

He might be married to an older woman.
Now, does that mean anything to you?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Larry, uh—

Larry... Hubbert.
Sure, we‘ve handled him before.

Here his package.
County camp graduate.

Kind ofa weird setup,Joe.
Larry‘s I7. Edna— that‘s the wife—

gotta be at least 7 0— 72 years
older than him.
Anything on her?

— No. Clean as far as we know.
— Got the address,Jack?

Yeah, uh, 8854 Wilton.

Thanks a Iot,Jack.
What’s Hubbert up to now?

21 I.We figure
three adults in the gang.

— Kid‘ll never learn, I guess.
— Well, it might help ifhe‘d do one thing.

— What‘s that?
— Stick to people his own age.

[Friday Narrating]
2:75pm. The Wilton Street address
was in an oldersection of the city

/t was neat and well—kept,
like the Cadillac parkedat the curb.

Without a warrant,
we couldn’t shake down the car.

We would ha ve to question
Larry Hubbert first, try to get his permission.

You Larry Hubbert?
Yeah.

Police officers.
All right ifwe come in?
YouJuvie cops?

Robbery Division.
Where‘s Edwards?
I don‘t know you guys.

Well, maybe it‘s time
you did, son.
Why don‘t you come right in?

How come Edwards isn‘t with you?
I give him all my business.

We‘re living in the age
ofspecialization, son.
You own that Cadillac parked outside?

Well, yeah—
Just stay put. Keep your hands
out ofyour pockets.

Yeah, that‘s my car.
Neat, isn‘t it? You know,
I fixed that thing up myself.

What are you guys looking for?
Some answers.

Hey, uh, is it all right
ifI put a shirt on?
I‘m kind ofcold.

Where is it?
In the bedroom.

We‘ll both go.
Sure.

I‘ll check the kitchen.

Freeze!

All right, now. Youjust stand still
and keep those hands in plain sight
whereI can see ‘em. Bill!

Get your hands behind your back.
[Handcufis Rattle]

Now, suppose youjust
sit down on the end ofthe bed.

I‘ll check it through C.I.I.
Right.

All right, son, you‘re under arrest.
It‘s my duty to inform you of
your constitutional rights.

You have the right to remain silent.
Any statement you make may be
used against you in a court oflaw.

You have the right to
the presence ofan attorney.

Ifyou desire an attorney
and cannot afford one, one will be
appointed before any questioning.

Do you understand that?
Yeah, I‘ve heard it before.

Do you understand it?
Okay. I understand it.

Where‘d you get the gun?
A friend gave it to me.

What friend?
Just a guy who borrows
my car once and a while.

He gave it to me to pay for
using the car, that‘s all.
What‘s his name?

Why should I fink out?
I can give you a couple
of reasons.

You‘re on probation.
Possession ofa deadly weapon.
Is that enough?

It was a gift.
Did you ever
point it at anybody?

I told you, the guy gave it
to me for using the car.
Tell me soI believe it.

Guy‘s name wasJones.
You wanna try for Smith
or Brown? I want it straight.

I‘m leveling with you. Can I help it
ifthe guy‘s name isJones? I met him at work.

Where‘s that?
Burbank.
Phillips Industries.

They make that plastic tile stuff,
you know, that they glue on counters?

ThisJones, he work there too,
does he?
Yeah. Then he quit.

What‘d you do, retire?
No. I‘m sick today.

Oh, sure you are.
Who are you?

We‘re police officers, ma‘am.
What are you doing here?

Are you Edna Hubbert?
I‘m Mrs. Hubbert, yes.

Is this your husband?
Yes. Did you have to
put those handcuffs on him?

He has a gun, ma‘am. It‘s hot,Joe.
One ofseven taken in a 459 from
a sporting goods store last month.

Mm—hmm. Before or after
the red—mask holdups?
Before.

All right, son.
Tell me where you got that gun.
What‘s this about a red mask?

She doesn‘t know anything.
Six cocktail lounges were held up,
all by four men wearing red masks.

They drove a car like Larry‘s,
and Larry has a gun.

What‘d he tell you?
Back out ofthis, Edna, will you?

She doesn‘t know anything. Honest.
Sergeant?

Yes, ma‘am?
Could I talk to you
alonea minute?

Yes, ma‘am.

I, uh— I don‘t want Larry to hear this.
He doesn‘t like his wife to interfere.

—I understand, ma‘am.
— I don‘t think Larry did this,
whateveryou said he did.

— We have to check it out, ma‘am.
— But even ifhe did,
it‘s not his fault, you know.

— I‘m the one should be arrested.
— How‘s that?

Well, I work nights...
cashier in a coffee shop,
and there‘s nobody.

— Nobody?
— Well, there‘s nobody to
look after him while I‘m out.

Well, now, looks to me like
he can take care ofhimself.

— But he‘s only a boy.
— Well, I guess you know that
better than I do, ma‘am.

— You disapprove of me, don‘t you?
— Should I?

— You‘re like everybody else.
— How‘s that?

I can hear‘em when I come home.
Whispering and pointing fingers
and laughing behind my back.

They think it’s funny
/’m not ashamed

Why shouldn‘t I have
what everybody else has got?
A little happiness. That‘s all I want.

Yes, ma‘am.
He is better ofi‘
with me, you know

It‘s a nice home. It‘s clean.
Nice things.

— He wouldn‘t have it ifit wasn‘t for me.
—Yes, ma‘am.

Guess you think all he sees in me
is somebody to pay the bills.

— No, ma‘am.
— I‘m only 29.

Well, I‘m not so old.

Maybe I‘m not so pretty, but,
well, he could‘ve had his pick.
I know that.

Theymake it easy forhim.
Who‘s that, ma‘am?

Birds, he calls ‘em.
The teenage girls.

You know, short skirts
and showing everything?

Stand around on corners, making eyes.
The delinquents.

— Well, that‘s what they are, you know.
— I wouldn‘t know, ma‘am.

— Larry used to be.
— Used to be what?

A delinquent
He was always getting into trouble.

But nobody wanted him, you see?
Nobody. He‘d still be on the street
ifitwasn‘t for me.

— Is that so?
—I rescued him.

You—You see these books?

The y’re his. He is very intelligent

He goes to the library.
Has a card and everything.

We read a lot, you know, together.

— Well, that‘s better, isn‘t it?
— Better than what?

— Than being alone?
—Yes, ma‘am.

— Sergeant?
— Yes, ma‘am?

I don‘t know where his parents are.
Does that make a difference?

Well, I wouldn‘t know, ma‘am.

Larry won‘t let me contact them.

Know what / think?
What‘s that?

I think he‘s ashamed.
They‘re poor people, you know.

— They‘re, well, not used to nice things.
— I see.

Well, that makes me his guardian,
doesn‘t it? I mean, being his wife?

No. I doubt that, ma‘am.

But, as his wife, it‘s my duty
to inform you ofyour constitutional rights.

Now, both you and Larry
have the right to remain silent

An ystatement you make may be
used against you in a court of law

You have the right to
the presence ofan attorney.

Ifyou desire an attorney
and can‘t afford one, one will be
appointed before any questioning.

— Do you understand that, ma‘am?
— Yes.

Found it in the closet,Joe.

Sergeant, did you mean
what you said before?

What‘s that, ma‘am?
About ifI couldn‘t afford
an attorney?

Yes, ma‘am.

I guess maybe we need one.

[Friday Narra ting]
3:48 p. m. We returned to
Georgia juvenile with the suspect

Although we had decided
not to detain Mrs. Hubbert,
she insisted on coming anyway

Mrs. Hubbert called
the public defender’s ofiice
to arrange for an attorney

Bill and / took the subject
to the juvenile squad room.
We turned Hubbert over to jack Edwards...

to be booked under Section 602 of the
Welfare and /nstitutions Code
fora 27 7 P. C, Robbery.

Since further interrogation of
L ariy Hubbert would ha ve to
a wait the arrival of an attorney,

we decided to check out
the one lead he had given us.

Without a first name on jones,
we couldn’t run it through R&/.

But we figured that Phi/lips /ndustries,
the place Hubbert claimed he met jones,

would be the best place
to check it out

4:75pm. Because of the outbound
commuter traific, it took us
20 minutes to get to Burbank

Phi/lips /ndustries was a medium—sized
combination plant—and—sho wroom operation.

The personnel manager,
Mr. BernardAshton, told us
they employed about a hundred people.

He didn ’t remember
either Hubbert or jones.

We get a lot oftransients, you know.
They think the grass is
always greener down the street.

Most ofour people have been
with us 10, 12 years though.
Good, solid people.

— Yes, sir.
— Larry Hubbert, good, solid lad.

— It‘s a shame though.
— How‘s that?

He missed four or five days work
last month. Keeps that up,
I‘ll have to let him go.

— Yes, sir.
— Oh, thatJones fella,
what‘s his first name?

We don‘t know, sir.
We‘d like you to tell us.

I got three here. Uh, “Jones, Robert M.“
He‘s been with us for eight years.

“Jones,James A.“ A little short fella.
He does finishing work.

Has a way about him, you know?
Hejokes a lot.

“Jones, Donald R." Huh, that‘s interesting.

— What‘s that?
— This fella left us five or six weeks ago.

Now, that’s real funny
What‘s that, sir?

His closing check.
He never came back to get it.

[Friday Narra ting]
With jones ’s address
pro vided b yAshton,

we arranged for the nearest
black—and— white unit to try
and pick him up immediately.

The black—and— white unit
reported that jones was not at home.

We asked that another Robbery Division
unit stake out the apartment house...

while we returned to P.A.B
to check jones through R&/.

We ran the name "Donald R jones ”
through R&/.

He had done time at San Quentin
for armed robbery.

He was out on parole.
He had not checked with Al Tucker,
his parole ofi7cer, forsix weeks.

/t looked like he had
gone back to his old habits.

With the stakeout on jones ’s apartment,
we decided to return to Georgia juvenile.

6:72pm.
This is my attorney,
Mr. Auerbach.

How do you do, sir?
This is Bill Gannon.
How areyou?

Joe Friday.
Glad to know you. I‘ve talked to
the boy. Doyou wanna fill me in?

We‘re holding him under
W.I.C. 602, 211 PC, Robbery.

— On what grounds?
— Gang always wore full—face,
plastic red masks. He had one.

He was also in possession
of a stolen gun.

They can‘t keep him injail, can they?
A 17—year—old boy?

— That‘s the best thing
he‘s got going for him, Mrs. Hubbert.
— What‘s that?

His age, being 77.
You see, juvenile la w in California...

is based on a concept ofcorrection
and rehabilitation, not punishment.

/’ve talked to him.
He knows he can remain silent

But after a hearing, it could
influence ajudge to declare Larry
unfit as ajuvenile...

and remand him for trial as an adult

The judge might have a lot in favor
of that argument Larry has a record
He is on probation.

He‘s married.
He‘s functioning as an adult.

/ think the police would ha ve to
come up with more evidence
to con vict him for armed robbery.

But if they’ve got
what Gannon here says they’ve got,

there‘s a good chance they could
put Larry away for a while right now.

Now, if L any were to make a clean breast
ofit, the judge might view that
as an indication of repentance.

/t could make it easier on him.
That is just my opinion, you unders tand’

You want Larry to confess.
Is that what you want?

No. That‘s up to Larry.
I told him what I‘m telling you.

— He wanted to know what you thought.
— What‘d you tell him?

/ just told you /fhe’s innocent,
he has nothing to hide.

Ifhe‘s guilty, I‘d advise him to admit
his guilt. It‘s to his benefit to do so.

It‘s not fair, Mr. Auerbach.
It‘s not fair at all.

Mrs. Hubbert, Ijust explain
the way the law works.

It really doesn‘t make
any difference, does it?
Whether he confesses or not?

— How‘s that, ma‘am?
—Well, they‘ll take him away from me.

I lose either way, don‘t I?

[Friday Narra ting]
6:43 p. m. Acting on the advice of
his attorney,

Larry Hubbert made a full confession.

He implicated Donald/ones as the leader
and named two other accomplices.

We put out an A.P.B
to have them picked up.

Under California law, the confession
of an accomplice without corroboration,
is ne versufi7cient to convict

The red masks Hubbert
and the others wore, prevented
positive identification by their victims.

Unless they all confessed we felt
we didn’t have enough to take to court

7.20 p. m. We returned to jones ’s apartment
house and checked in with the team
on stakeout, Chitwood and Em/et

They had nothing to report
No sign of the suspect

They drove around to the rear
of the building to relieve the team
on stakeout in the alley

7:44 pm.

Police officers. Stand still.
Open that box, you‘re a dead man.
Put it down. Now!

Keep those hands
out ofyour pockets, lady.
[ Huffs]

Would somebody tell me
what this is all about?
Youjust stay quiet.

You‘re under arrest.
For what,
illegal parking?

Just shut up and listen, both ofyou.
It‘s my duty to advise you
ofyour constitutional rights.

You have the right to remain silent
An ystatement you make may be
used against you in a court of law

You have the right to
the presence of an attorney

Ifyou desire an attorney
and can‘t afford one, one will be
appointed before any questioning.

—Yeah,you finished?
— Do you understand that,Jones?

— Yeah.
— You?

— She understands it.
— Do you?

Yes.

— These belong to you, lady?
— She‘s a collector.

— He gimme the case.
I didn‘t know what was in it.
—Why‘d you carryit?

It was pretty.
Real talent, huh?
All body, no brain.

Good thing for you /’m slow
Is that right?

— Little faster, you‘d know how dead feels.
— Well, now, what else
would you like to tell us?

That‘s it, cop.
You heard it from me.

Hang on to ‘em.
We‘ll shake the apartment.

What are you looking for, cop?
My little black book?

We‘ll settle fora red mask.

[Friday Narra ting]
The shakedo wn of/ones ’s apartment
gave us nothing more to go on.

He refused to talk, and under the law,
we could go no further.

We took him downtown to be booked

The guns we found in
the girl’s makeup kit..

were taken in the same 45 9
as the gun we took fiom Larry Hubbert

We wanted him and the other two members
of the gang for the red mask holdups.

9:75pm.
Boy, I got that migraine again.

Yeah?
What time did we have lunch?

We didn‘t.
We didn‘t?

No.
You hungry?

I could eat.
Me too.

Maybe I oughta call Tuck.
Jones‘s P.O.?

Yeah.
Figure he can get him to talk?

Might be worth a try.

[Friday Narra ting]
9:45 p. m. Bill picked up a sandwich,

and/ went back to
the squad room to wait forA/ Tucker.

He ’d been working late. / filled him in
while Bill waited in the interrogation room
with the suspect

Parole ofi7cers are a special breed-
half policeman, ha/fsocia/ worker.

They ha ve to take the rejects
ofsocietyand try to make
decent citizens out of them.

/t’s a tough job. Tougherbecause
there’s not enough of ’em to go around

Most ex—con victs have a lot of respect
for their parole oificers.

Theyget close. Theyhave to.
Their parole ofi7cer has to appro ve
almost e veg/thing

Where they live. Where they work
What time theyget home at night

/ones was no exception.

I blew it, huh?
All the way.

You quityourjob. You moved.
You didn‘t check in.
Here you are again.

I thought you were squaring, Don?
I got bored with making tile.

What‘d you have?
Nine months, 10 months
out ofthejoint?

Things were going sweet
till these guys showed up.

You wanna tell me about it?
In front ofthem?

Look, Tucker, I got the right
to stay silent and I‘m staying silent.

Wait foryou outside, Tuck.
All right.

Now, look, Don,
this sort of an attitude
isn ’t going to get you anywhere.

[ Exhales]
You wanna bite?

No, thanks.
You sure?

Sure.
Corned beef, imported Swiss,
lettuce, Russian dressing, coleslaw,

kosher pickle, slice oftomato,
mayonnaise, peanut butter,
horseradish and a little hot mustard.

No, thanks.
Sure, now?
It‘s an awful good sandwich.

Sounds like a seven—course meal.
Well, it‘s a little filling.

You think he‘ll cop out to Tuck?
Save an awful lot oftime
ifhe does.

He‘ll talk to you now.
What‘d you do, Tuck?

Nothing any other parole officer
couldn‘t do.
What‘s that?

Well,Jones figures he‘s bound to go back
to thejoint one way or the other.
Yeah?

There‘s more than 200 different
prisonjobs they can hand him
up there at Quentin.

You remember him saying
he didn‘t like making tile?
Yeah, I do.

Well, he told me
he‘d like to try metal work.

I can recommend whatjob he gets.
I told him I‘d see what I could do.

You know,Jones told me something.
I don‘t know ifhe‘ll mention it to you.

It‘s not really important.
Thought you might want it foryour case.

What‘s that, Tuck?
Well, it‘s about that kid,
that teenager Larry Hubbert?

Oh, yeah.
What about him?
Gonna be a father.

Well, I missed dinner.
Guess I‘d better be getting on home.

Don‘t rush off, Tuck.
I got halfa sandwich.

Yeah? What‘s in it?
Oh, you‘ll love it.

Corned beef, imported Swiss...
Good night, Bill.

lettuce, Russian dressing...
Tuck, I‘ll see you.

coleslaw, kosher pickle,
a slice oftomato—

[Narrator]
The story you ha ve just seen is true.

The names were changed
to protect the innocent

On September 75,

in and for the County of L os Ange/es.

/n a moment, the results of that trial

The suspects were found guilty
on two counts ofarmed robbery.

Robbery in the first degree
is punishable by impnsonment..

in the state prison for not less than five years.

Afi‘era hearing, the juvenile suspect
