:10:08
You know him, Marty?
:10:10
Yeah.
:10:12
l know his wife, too.
:10:14
Ever since high school.
:10:19
Captain, l wish you'd let Chuck and me
handle this case.

:10:25
All right. But l don't want any dead heroes.
:10:29
l just want the man who shot Rowlins.
:10:34
The suspects began to arrive
at headquarters in droves.

:10:37
The police tossed every motel and hotel
and many private homes...

:10:40
in a four-square-mile area
around the scene of the shooting.

:10:43
Every available radio car, patrolman,
and detective was out on the dragnet.

:10:47
The strings were being drawn
tighter and tighter.

:10:50
Many a man returning from a date,
a late party, or a poker game...

:10:54
surprisingly found himself in a squad car...
:10:57
its sirens screaming as it brought him
to the detective bureau.

:11:00
The dragnet gathered in some strange fish,
and many ordinary ones.

:11:05
All the rest of that night,
the detectives probed...

:11:08
needled, questioned, quizzed.
:11:11
Everything was checked.:
:11:13
fingerprints, names, addresses, stories.
:11:17
Every fish in the net was examined...
:11:19
most of them thrown back into the sea,
not worth keeping.

:11:22
Except a few parole violators
and slightly shady characters...

:11:25
whose stories needed a lot of verifying.
:11:28
l wasn't prowling no cars.
:11:30
Just taking a walk.
You know, getting in condition.

:11:32
You were running
when the radio car picked you up.

:11:35
Yeah? Maybe that's why
the guys call me Punchy.

:11:38
He's got a point there.
:11:39
Two felony convictions. No warrant.
He's on parole.

:11:43
Book him. Violation of parole.
Let's have the next one, Joe.

:11:46
What were you doing in that vacant lot?
:11:50
The vacant lot. Lot.
:11:52
What were you doing in it
at that time of night?
