Dragnet - The Big Job

Detective Sergeants Joe Friday and Ben Romero are working the night watch out of Bunko Fugitive Detail. Returning from Communications, Friday arrived at Room 38, the Squad Room, at 6:45 PM. Romero was already there. Friday says "How about some dinner? Romero says "Well, we got one to check out first. Here's the teletype". Friday reads "Pick up and hold for this department, Alfred Garvey. Wanted for suspicion, forgery, and robbery. This man poses as a fingerprint expert from San Rafael Police Department". Romero says "Here's his mugshot  pulled from the record bureau". Friday reads "We're informed that Garvey is registered at the Fair Deal Hotel, Los Angeles. Where's that?" Romero says "Over near First and Broadway". Friday continues to read "Please advise us on his arrest and officers will arrive with warrant. signed' Chief Police Frank Kelly, San Rafael, California". Romero says "Shouldn't take long to pick him up". At that moment, Sergeant John Maxwell walked in to the room. Friday says "Hi, Max. What are you doing around? I thought you took off on vacation". Maxwell says "I just came back to pick up some stuff from my locker. The wife's got the car. You guys going anywhere near North Main and Daly Streets?" Friday says "Yeah, we're going to leave right now". Maxwell says "Oh, okay. Let me grab my coat". They walk to the car, get in, and start down the street.  Soon, Friday says "That's the place up ahead, isn't it?" Romero says "Fair Deal, yeah". Friday says "We've got to stop by this hotel a minute, Max. You want to wait here?" Maxwell says "No, I'll come in". After talking to the desk clerk, Friday and Romero learn that Garvey should still be in his room, number 307. Maxwell says he'll stay in the lobby. Friday and Romero make their way up the stairs to the room, but find the door open and the closet cleaned out. Just then, they hear several gunshots. Rushing back to the lobby, the desk clerk says "The guy you were looking for just came down the elevator and shot your friend!"
