(Woman) This is KABC Radio.
I'm Geri Nichols.
Latest crime statistics, released today,
show an alarming rise in violence.
In the last five years, gun fights in
Los Angeles County are up 79 percent.
Robberies are up 68 percent.
Aggravated assault, another violent
crime, shows an increase of 59 percent.
Rapes have increased 61 percent
and lesser crimes are up, too.
Today I spoke to Los Angeles
Police Commissioner, Herman Baldwin.
(Baldwin) The fear of crime has brought
a deterioration of our community.
It's almost as if
We've been struck by enemy bombs.
The number of citizens killed and
maimed by criminal violence
has produced in me
a great and personal resolve.
The only way we'll win,
and this is a war,
is by assuming the offensive.
Positive policing is the answer.
We must deploy all our resources
or criminal violence will destroy our
community.
(Geri) But what resources are needed
to diminish the alarming rise in crimes?
Some say heavier prison sentences and
an increased police facility are enough.
I'm one of them.
(Geri) Others believe
that prison never cured anyone.
Judging by the rise in violence,
nor does it deter.
Here comes the commercial.
I know it's your station, and I like
Miss Nichols, but I can't take this.
It's not my station, I'm the architect
for the new one. Miss Nichols is late.
- She's still on the radio.
- They recorded that earlier.
- There she is now.
- Don't be late for dinner.
- Your daughter ate well last time.
- You're a great cook.
- For her, nothing is too much.
- We won't be late.
- We have to be there at 10:30.
- We'll make it.
The senator's aide
would not get off the phone.
Los Angeles magazine likes my idea
of a series of articles
on criminal rehabilitation.
That's great.
Hello, baby. You look really good.
(Geri) Hi, Carol.
We're not late, are we?
Has there been any progress this week,
Doctor?
Nurse says she asked for dinner
on Thursday.
That's the fifth week running
she's spoken.
That's not much after two years.
Will she ever come back to me?
Will she ever be normal again?
You're her father, Mr. Kersey.
You can only give her your love.
And your prayers, too.
(children laughing)
I remember you liked kites as a kid.
Do you still like'em?
(Mexican music)
We haven't bought you an ice cream yet.
You mean we haven't bought you one.
A man has to have some pleasures.
I'll tell you what.
You choose whatever you want here.
I'll go off and buy the ice cream.
(rock music from ghetto blaster)
(gang member) Look at him.
So, what he look like?
Let's do it.
- Out the way.
- Get out the way!.
- Watch out, a**hole!.
- (jeering laughter)
Go get your ice cream, man.
A**hole.
- Hey!.
- (woman) They got his wallet!
It's nice.
- Where's my wallet?
- I ain't got it.
(Mexican music)
Guess what?
I got there and I'd forgotten my wallet.
This time you two come with me.
- I'm gonna have to borrow some money.
- I think we can manage that.
(man) Carol! Where have you been?
I haven't seen you for two weeks.
I thought you'd deserted me.
- What happened, Paul?
- Nothing.
You didn't forget your wallet.
You never forget anything.
I'll tell you about it later.
I could stay.
I could do the interview another time.
The senator's only here for a day.
You shouldn't miss the opportunity.
- See you at dinner, OK?
- Hey, Paul. You coming aboard?
This is the place.
Super fine.
Easy, my man. We got business.
(Woman on TV) Mike,
I thought you weren't coming.
- (Mike) You know I wouldn't...
- (Woman) You are going to...
(doorbell chimes)
- (Woman) Have you told Jenny?
- (Mike) I will.
- Who is it?
- Delivery for Mr. Kersey.
Who from?
Who is this delivery from?
(man on TV) I can't rub out
ten years of a marriage.
I've got to think of the children.
(gasps)
(she screams)
(man) Come on!
Just her. No one else here.
We wanted to give
- Personally.
- Hey, man. Look at that.
Isn't that pretty?
No! No! No!
Lady, disturb the neighbors
and I'll cut you into pieces
and eat you for dinner.
(she sobs)
(whooping)
Jiver, save some for me, man!
(whooping)
My turn now, man.
Nirvana, take her in the bedroom.
Jiver, check out the window for the man.
- We can't hang in here for ever.
- Hey, I want him.
Just be cool, man. He'll come.
You wait in here. Watch for the man.
All right now, lady.
Quietly. Do it nice.
Are you hungry?
Let's see what Rosario has for dinner.
Rosario. Rosario! We're home!
Man, you s...
Get her, man!
- Let's get the f*** outta here!
- Use the back!
Take her. She's seen us.
She can finger us all.
Come on!
Keep moving. Get in there, girl!
(man) There is only one truth
about the use of the death penalty.
Why do we kill people who kill people?
- To show that killing is wrong.
- Thank you, Senator.
That was Senator Robert McLean.
This has been Newsdesk, brought to you
by KABC Los Angeles. I'm Geri Nichols.
- Nirvana, how long we gonna stay here?
- Ah, it's nice here.
Yeah, and we got a nice little lady.
What are we gonna do? Waste her?
- She's seen us. She can finger us all.
- The man saw me twice, up close.
Aw, man.
We look all the same to Whitey, anyway.
He'll never pick you out.
(doorbell chimes)
Paul!
Paul!
Paul, is that you?
(voices on police radio)
Mr. Kersey, I'm Inspector Mankiewicz.
I know it's a terrible time.
- Any news of my daughter?
- Not yet.
As soon as we hear anything,
we'll let you know.
The descriptions you gave the officers
about your attackers are very unclear.
Is there anything you can add?
I came in this door. There were two men
there, at least two back there.
One hits me on the head
and I'm unconscious.
Surely you saw one of them
before you were attacked?
I told your men everything I know.
(police radios, sirens)
We understand that the same sort of
thing happened in New York City.
Yeah, that's right.
Muggers followed my wife and daughter
home from the market.
The police there got a good description
of the muggers, too.
- But it didn't do any good.
- We do what we can.
Oh. One of my men
found this on the floor.
Honey, if they don't need us,
let's go to my place. They'll be all night.
Mr. Kersey.
We got news of your daughter.
How is she?
Is this your daughter, Mr. Kersey?
Mr. Kersey? Is that Carol?
- Get some sleep, darling.
- You go back to bed.
I want to stay here a while.
I'll be along in a moment.
(priest) Unto Almighty God, we commend
the soul of our sister, Carol,
and we commit her body to the ground.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.
In sure and certain hope
of the resurrection
unto eternal life through our Lord,
Jesus Christ.
Don't worry about the new building, Paul.
It can wait.
Oh, I'll be back soon.
It's not necessary.
It is for me.
Thanks for the use of your cabin.
(howling)
This is the new model. The Department
of Building and Safety approved it.
