The Interview

The premise of this matches the S1 E5 "The Big Cast" of Dragnet which aired 02/14/1952. The suspect, played by Lee Marvin, confesses to a murder with the same circumstances as Hugo Weaving's story. In the episode, the suspect is arrested in the morning and fought with the police, reminiscent of Weaving's rough arrest. Throughout the episode, meals also played an important part.

At the beginning of the New Yorker Video DVD, right before the main menu appears, a quote of Eddie Fleming fills the screen: "Just goes to show you how the mind works." At the very end, after the credits roll, a quote of Det. Steele fills the screen: "I don't know Mr. Fleming, how does the mind work?" But if you run the end credits a second time a different quote appears at the end, this time from Det. Prior: "It's about a fucking stolen fucking car you fucking fuckwit."
