Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true.

The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Drag men.

You're a detective sergeant.

You're assigned to robbery detail.

Two masked gunmen have held up a bank in your city.

The victims can't give you a lead to their identity.

Your job, find them. It was Tuesday, June 3rd. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working today, watch out of robbery detail. My partner is Frank Smith, the boss of Chief Detective Stab Brown. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from the street, and it was 8.47 a.m. when I got to the rear of the bank, the manager's office. I'm not a young woman anymore. I can't take this kind of excitement. Yes, ma'am. You check with them? Yeah. They got the broadcast out right away. Long shot if it pays off. Yeah. How much of a description? I hope you're not saying that for my benefit, young man. I gave you all I could. It was hard to see their faces with those scarves on. Maybe you could have done better, but I couldn't.

We're not trying to say that you could have done better, but I couldn't.

We're not trying to say that you didn't do good, ma'am.

We understand the handicap that you were under.

I should hope so.

Terrible thing.

I'm not a young woman anymore.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, would you tell us just exactly what happened now, right from the beginning?

You mean starting when I come in this morning? Yes, ma'am, that's right. Eight o'clock, just like always, that's when I got here.

Uh-huh. Open the door with McKee and came right on in. Little suspecting what was waiting for me. I tell you, I was pretty surprised when they popped out at me. You didn't see them at first then, huh? Of course not. You think I would have come in if I'd have seen him? No, ma'am.

Certainly not.

Never would have come in.

When did you first see the two men?

I came in and locked the door behind me. think I would have come in if I'd have seen him? No, ma'am. Certainly not. Never would have come in.
