The detectives of Dragnet–Joe Friday and Bill Gannon–are also investigating their own devil of a case.
Friday: “Ma’am,could you describe the suspect?”
Witness: “He was tall.”
Friday: “Tall?”
Witness: “Yes, tall.”
Friday: “How tall?”
Witness: “Very tall.”
Gannon: “Could you be a little more precise, ma’am?”
Witness: “Oh, I’d say 7 feet.”
Friday: “Seven feet?”
Witness: “Yes, that sounds about right.”
Gannon: “Seven feet tall?”
Witness: “Well, he may be shorter without the horns.”
Friday: “Horns?”
Witness: “Yes, horns. On his head.”
Gannon: “On his head, Joe.”
Friday: “I heard that, Bill. Ma’am?”
Witness: “Yes?”
Friday: “Anything else you can tell us about the suspect?”
Witness: “Other than the horns?”
Friday: “Other than the norns.”
Witness: “Well, not really.”
Gannon: “Uh huh.”
Witness: “well, he had the red skin.”
Friday: “Red skin.”
Witness: “Hooved feet.”
Friday: “Hooved feet.”
Witness: “A forked tail.”
Friday: “A tail.”
Gannon: “A forked tail, Joe.”
Friday: “Got that, Bill.”
Witness: “And glowing eyes.”
Friday: “Uh huh.”
Witness: “And he smelled funny, too.”
Gannon: “How did he smell?”
Witness: “Like sulfur? Yes, brimstone.”
Gannon: “Brimstone.”
Witness: “Yes, brimstone.”
Friday: “Ma’am?”
Witness: “Yes?”
Friday: “You just decribed Satan.”
Witness: “Satan?”
Friday: “Yes, ma’am.”
Witness: “Why, I suppose so. Never though about until now.”
Gannon: “Joe?”
Friday: “Yeah, Bill?”
Gannon: “Think we should let the uniforms handle this?”
Friday: “1-Adam-12 patrols this neighborhood.”
Gannon: “Thank you, ma’am.”
Witness: “Anything I can do to help.”
Friday: “Yes, ma’am.”
Witness: “I do hope you catch him. And soon.”
Gannon: “Because he’s Satan?”
Witness: “Well, yes, and one other thing.”
Friday: “One other thing?”
Witness: “Yes, he wasn’t wearing any pants.”
I just looked it up, something about a satanic cult, but “helping catch that dog” is what really puzzles me, likewise Malloy referring to “Satan” without scare quotes.
Nothing new here. All dogs think the dog catcher is Satan!
1-Adam-12 we have a 415 in progress. Suspect is considered armed and dangerous. Father Merrin will meet you at the scene.

Wait…what?
I must know the context here. Because I’m trying to imagine this story WITHOUT the supernatural and it’s not making much sense in my head.
Dispater: All is going according to plan… *finger drum*
Mike, if you don’t explain this with your next post, I think I’ll spend the rest of my life confused and sad.
I hope Dave-El’s version is close.

Jaq/Casey – I’ll explain it in a day or two.
