Original subtitles

You go for those?

No, but my kid does, so I pretend to.

And you're Mr.

Gallant? Yes.

Sign.

Let's find some shade. I feel a little bit too visible out here.

Who signed it? Not just some plucky?

Nope. Somebody high up in the DA's office.

And it's everything Arnold March asked for.

Your client gets total assurance he won't be prosecuted.

Assistance in relocating under a new name.

Plus he ends ten years as a fugitive and he stays out of jail.

Well, there are worse hazards than jail.

Well, he's getting out of a $25 million embezzlement wrap in exchange for a

handful of documents and a few depositions against the others. Where's

hazard? The others.

He's pulling the rug out of a fairly large crowd of old friends.

Frankly, I counsel Arnold to stay in Brazil. At least if he died there, it

be in style and a natural conflict.

Do you think these old friends might go to extremes?

Well, if they do or they don't, it's not your problem, Mr. Hacks.

I pick up March at the airport, bring him to the meeting place so he can go

the DA's letter with you, and three minutes later, you're in the police

with him.

Nobody will have a beef against you for being the go -between.

And your $20 ,000, Rick.

Meanwhile, there are only three people in the DA's office who know about this,

so I'm not worried about a loop.

Nice job.

Thank you.

Let me ask you a question.

I don't want to sound ungrateful like in use of money, but this wasn't a very

complicated matter. Why didn't you handle it yourself?

Ah, because some of those old friends are my clients.

I can't appear to be a part of this.

I have a certain loyalty to Arnold, but it does not extend as far as my life.

Clear? Got it.

Anyway, it is an honor.

Well, maybe we can do it again in a slightly more pleasant atmosphere.

I look forward to it.

When my messenger comes with the cash this afternoon, you come with him.

Oh, and Simon, I beg you.

Nobody must know I'm involved.

Nobody will.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20 ,000.

So, it's after five, Mr. Hecht.

Now, Gallant will call me as soon as March goes through customs.

You about ready?

Just one minute.

I'm calling my son, Benson. Take it easy.

Hello? Hi, David.

Oh, hi, Dad.

Everything all right? okay what you doing talking to you listen i have to

some men this evening clients and it looks like i'll be late for dinner how

uh it could be pretty late tell melinda to fix dinner at the regular time and

i'll get something to eat on the way home okay can you handle that sure i can

handle it when will you be home um eight maybe eight eight thirty oh can i wait

up you can wait up okay okay thanks dad bye

Okay, let's go.

And when did you find that out?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right.

All right.

This is Mr. Oaks.

Mr. Hecht. How you doing?

How many people are in on this?

Not just enough to make sure nothing happens, Mr. March.

Shouldn't we be on our way to the meeting place?

Oh, uh, Gallant just was on the phone.

March didn't make his plane.

Gallant's on the line to Rio to try to find out what happened.

Well, I don't imagine there'll be another flight until morning.

I'll give you my home number. You can call me.

Mr. Hecht.

Gallant prefers that you stay here just in case something goes wrong.

That's ridiculous.

Hang around here all night?

Please take that. Give me a call. Mr. Hecht.

Mr. Gallant doesn't want you to go.

Now, we've got a bedroom in here.

You can make yourself comfortable, get a little hungry, we'll send out for

something to eat. Are you crazy? I'm expected home tonight.

I don't believe Mark Gallant told you to do this at all. I don't care what you

believe. I just know what it's going to be.

Now, get in here.

My name is David Behead, and I want to report a missing person.

Look, David, I've heard that six times in the last five minutes.

It's because someone doesn't show up for one night. It isn't someone. It's my

father, and he said he'd be home.

Hey, David, it's 9 .30. Your dad's probably home by now.

You don't look like you could help me anyway.

Where's the commissioner's office?

Sorry, are you a detective?

I'm the commissioner.

What's going on here?

A ton of kids' worries.

Dad stayed out all night. He thinks he's missing. David, maybe your mom and dad

had a fight last night. Those things happen, you know. I haven't got a mom.

She's dead.

What do you live with? My father and the maid, Melissa.

She doesn't speak much English. All she's been doing is praying.

Something like that. It's in Greek.

Greek, huh?

I can't be all bad.

When did you speak to your dad last?

Oh, yesterday around five. He called from his office.

What office?

Hecton Holiday, attorneys at law.

And what did he say when he called? He said that he had to meet some men and

that they were clients.

He'd be late for dinner, have Melissa fix the dinner at the regular time, and

he'd get something on the way home.

See that?

That's the way to give evidence. You can tell that he's a lawyer's son.

Sure. When did your dad tell you he was coming home?

Oh, 8, 8 .30.

Uh -huh.

Do me a favor.

Go inside to the commissioner's office right there. Get my hat and coat and sit

out a batch. I'll be right with you.

You got a DD -13, kid?

A missing person for one night?

It's worried, right?

He wouldn't be here if this happened all the time. Check with the information

unit, the central complaints desk, hospital's arrests.

Check with the morgue.

The way till we leave right now, check his office.

Heck, then holiday.

Jail time.

Uh,

how would you like to take a ride in a police car, David?

Come on, I'll drop you off at school.

On Saturday?

You got me.

All right, I'll take you home, okay? Where do you live?

85 East 28th Street, apartment 7B.

Uh, sir?

No, my name's Kojak, Lieutenant Kojak. I lied to you, I'm not the commissioner.

But don't call me sir, okay? Come on, huh?

Greek, huh? She any kind of a cook?

Yes, sir.

But could she make a moussaka? And don't call me sir.

What should I call you? Call me, uh, call me irresistible.

Lieutenant!

There's nobody there, Lieutenant, but he did call us answering service around

five yesterday.

Said he was going out and he couldn't be reached.

You want to send somebody over there? No, I'm going over to the house and I'll

call you.

Yeah.

Follow me.

Gallant?

It's you.

No, Irv, there's no word yet.

The plane probably gets in sometime tonight.

That makes it a 24 -hour shift.

I don't like it. I think I'm going to pull out of this.

Sure, you can say relax. I'm the one that has to do it.

And I'm superstitious about plans that change.

Nothing's been changed, Irv, except the date.

You're not going to pull out. Word about that gets around.

The same thing as yesterday.

We drive Hecht over in Benson's car, and you let us in.

Remember to back it in, Oaks. Irv, do I try to tell you your job?

Maybe I better.

March will get out of his car and walk in.

We let him see Hecht.

There'll be a bodyguard.

Then March goes over to Hecht and reads the DA's letter.

Then you give us all a beat to clear out, and then you, baby doll, kill all

three of them.

Now, can I make it any simpler?

Thought you were a thief, did you?

You've been here all night.

Those weren't your instructions, were they? They were not.

What's the idea?

Well, it seemed kind of dumb to have him running around town.

Somebody could put a tail on him, so when he came back... You were hired to

care of an emergency in case it arose, not to create one to give yourself

something to do.

I'm sorry about this, really.

Then I can go home now?

Well, I...

I know it's a terrible inconvenience to you, but having been here this long,

maybe it would be wiser if you stayed until March did show up.

As I said, there may well be people out there right now who are trying to figure

out how to get to him.

I did get through, by the way. He's taking a flight that's due in at 9 .52

tonight.

Could we step outside?

No.

It'd be a lot better if he stayed here.

Oaks knows his business, son.

Then can you get word to my son? I don't want to worry him.

Of course.

Okay, I'll write a note to him if that's all right, and you can deliver it.

Do you have a pen?

Certainly.

I'll take it to him.

Don't worry about a thing.

Thank you.

If you're hungry, there's food in the kitchen.

Thank you. I'll get myself something.

No, I'll get it for you.

That won't be necessary. I'll fix it myself.

Look.

I come all the way over here just to keep him from blowing his stack, and

somehow he knows everything. Now, how is that possible?

I swear I don't know.

Well, you just keep him calm, Benson.

I'll call you when March arrives.

You'll get that note to my son.

Don't worry about a thing, Simon. Everything's under control.

Thank you.

Did your father ever do any work at home, David?

Yeah. Where?

In there.

Was she praying again?

No.

No, she was just making a joke. Don't worry about it, David.

A joke in Greek?

Are you a wise guy? Don't you think Greek things are funny?

Yeah.

Hey, David.

How long has your mother been dead?

Five years.

Oh.

Is this the first time your pop stayed out all night?

Yeah. Except for the time he went to Florida.

When was that?

Last month.

It was on business.

Where did he stay in Florida?

I think it was in Miami Beach.

He sent me a crate of those oranges.

They're candy, really.

How long was he in Florida?

A week.

And during that time he left at a housemate's, he was taking care of you?

Jerry Holiday.

That's your father's partner, right? Yeah, but he's retired now. He lives in

Delaware.

Did you probably have a secretary?

Yeah, he talks about her almost every night.

Oh, yeah?

What does he say?

That dumb Miss Rosenberg, I wish I had the guts to fire her.

Oh, Yasu.

That's, uh, Gesundheit in a strange language.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to get you out of bed at such a late hour.

Yeah, but you said you weren't here at all yesterday.

That's right.

Terrible cold.

Yeah.

Yeah, John.

All right, anything, uh... Anything changed since you've been here last?

It's locked.

The safe, that's out of the ordinary.

Oh, can you open it?

This wasn't here when I left, Thursday afternoon.

3 .29 .74 a .m. in small letters. What does that mean?

Morning. Oh, 10 a .m., huh?

Is that your boss's handwriting?

Yes.

What kind of law does he practice?

Well... Real estate transactions, bankruptcies, property

management, civil matters like that.

I mean, is this his usual fee for civil matters like that?

Twenty big ones?

No, never that much.

Never in cash.

Lieutenant Kojak, did something happen to Mr. Hecht?

Put it back.

So far, the only thing that's happened to him, he didn't show up at home last

night. Mrs.

Rosenberg. Miss.

You're kidding.

Miss Rosenberg, what do you know about your boss's personal life? You know,

friends, things like that.

I suppose by that you mean female friends.

All right.

I mean, forgive the image.

I mean, can you conceive of him spending the night with somebody without calling

home? Since his wife died, I don't think Mr. Hector spent a night away from

home.

Except for the two -week vacation in Florida.

Two -week vacation?

Well, he planned on two weeks, but he cut it short, came back in one week

instead. His son said he went away on business. I mean, did he go with

else? Lieutenant Kojak, all I know about it is... is... Excuse

me. Oh, God love you.

He had me buy two tickets to make a hotel reservation for a double room.

Well, he cut short a strip. Did he say why?

No.

While he was away, did he get any phone calls? You know, things important like

that.

I think he had three callers who said they had to speak to him.

I gave them his number in my abbey at the Gulf Plaza Hotel.

Oh, you have the names?

They should be on the telephone log.

The telephone log.

Oh. And the names of his client list.

The client list.

A telephone log.

Oh.

Is there anything else?

Like the moves?

Yeah. Get to bed. You got a cold.

Lieutenant.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. Just waiting.

Just waiting for what?

For you to find my dad.

Oh. And who's home taking care of Melissa?

Melissa's taking care of herself.

David. You know, you're not doing us any good hanging around here. Your dad

could show up any minute and you wouldn't know about it.

What's going on?

Oh, Frank, this is Dave Hecht. David B. Hecht. I'd like you to meet Captain

Frank McNeil.

Nice to know you, David.

How do you do?

What's it about?

No, we're just looking for his dad.

Look, David, another thing.

Suppose I wanted to get in touch with you because you're the man of the house

now that he's gone.

Well, if you want to get in touch with me, why can't I stay here?

Because I might not be here. That's why.

Now, listen.

When I find you're dead, you are going to be the first to know.

Before Captain McNeil knows, I'm going to tell you. What do you think about

that? That's stretching the reins.

But you don't mind, do you, Frank?

I don't mind what?

You see, he don't mind. So what do you say?

Well... Okay. But you promise?

Hey, would I lie?

I promise.

Okay.

But I'll be waiting.

Uh -huh.

Hey, Theo.

Since I don't mind, do I get in on it? Oh, sure. Hey, Stubbers, the streaker.

Anything on that heck missing persons?

Nothing yet, Lieutenant.

I use, settle complaint, we come up zilch all the way around. All right, you

him a missing persons number. I'll give you a description from the file. Get in

on the next teletype.

See you, Lieutenant.

Rocker!

Let's check through this client.

I want all the names and initials they have.

Match them up with the telephone log and check the Gulf Plaza Hotel in Miami.

See who he called long distance.

I want to know who registered with Simon Hecht on that date. You got it? Got it.

Got it.

Theo.

You think we ought to handle this ourselves? I mean, would you mind

just what the hell you're working on? I told you. The kid's pop is a missing

person. Well, who's the kid's father and how long has he been missing?

His name is Simon Hecht. He's a lawyer and he's been gone now, um...

All night.

All night?

You've got to be kidding him. What's the big deal?

This is the big deal.

20 grand in an envelope that I left in a safe in his office.

Hecton Holliday, attorneys at law. 50 bucks a chargeable hour. Come on, Frank,

you know that operation.

If Simon Heck grows to 40 ,000 a year, that's a big deal. And all of a sudden,

we've got 20 grand in an envelope in his safe. Are you suggesting he's not a

missing person on choice?

I'm suggesting that he didn't come home.

because Hecton Holiday got into something so deep that they couldn't

Now, whether it was on purpose or by mistake, either way.

Lieutenant, those three calls are paid.

Referred to Miami. You wanted to check the names.

Thank you.

Harriet Buckman, Ivy, Ella, Mark... Mark Gallen.

I'm getting a buzz. Mark Gallen. That's the name, isn't it, Frank?

Flint.

Flint is... Fenimore, Frank.

Goodrich, Galland, and Peabody.

It's a big law firm, one of the biggest in town.

They're everything you just said Hecht wasn't. So why does a million -dollar

dude call Hecht, huh?

How come that name makes noises in my head? Mark Galland.

He was Arnold March's lawyer. It was about 12 years ago.

Arnold March.

He absconded with 25 million mid -Atlantic mutual funds, did the big

Oh, yeah, and Galland was his lawyer, sure.

A .M., Arnold March.

You know, 20 ,000, 15 to 25 million, pretty good, don't you think?

All right, where is he now?

Who knows?

Brazil, I hear.

Living like an emperor.

Why don't you ask Gallant?

Oh.

I think I will.

What are you doing, jerk?

Get smart.

You're in it too deep now to back out. If you cooperate, maybe Gallant will

decide to give you a break.

All right, so Gallant is a part of this.

But somebody out there will be looking for me.

They looked for Hitler for years too, Mr. Hecht.

Are they going to find you any faster?

Clyde left Rio on time.

Well, that's a novelty.

All right, thank you.

The offices are closed today. I'm Lieutenant Kojak, my hat in the south.

I'm looking for a little guidance.

Oh, well, of course.

What can I do for you?

Well, I'm looking for a nice little law firm, not too expensive. I'm looking to

draw up my will.

Would you like some coffee? Love it. Black, no sugar.

Paper cup, if possible.

Well, what brings you to us, Lieutenant? We're good, but we're not little.

My captain mentioned your name.

He said you were expensive, but I figured at least you could steer me in

right direction.

For instance, Holiday and Hecht, are they pretty decent? Hecht and Holiday?

Yes, I think they'd probably fit into your budget, Lieutenant. They're one of

numerous firms that could do the work.

Do you know either one of them personally?

Oh, I recall meeting Hecht ten years ago.

But not on a professional basis.

As a matter of fact, I had an occasion to call his office recently in a similar

situation. Alan Schreiber asked me to recommend a lawyer to him. It wouldn't

cost too much. Alan Schreiber? Who is he?

He's someone I know slightly at the Century Club.

Lieutenant, one of the greatest sources of free legal advice is a club that

admits lawyers.

Um... Did you call Hecht first to see if he was interested?

Yes, and I found out that he was leaving on vacation. My friend went elsewhere.

Oh, but he's back from vacation now.

I haven't the foggiest notion.

This Alan Schreiber, where can I get in touch with him? Saturday afternoon.

If he isn't in the Century Club bar, he died during the morning.

Now, at the risk of being rude... Now, I know where I

remember your name.

Arnold March.

You defended him, right?

Is he still a client?

I'm afraid we're getting into the area of privileged information. I hope you

understand. Of course. So do I.

It's kind of scary drinking coffee out of a cup like that.

Thank you, Counselor. Goodbye.

Sir Shriver, please. Try the bar first.

Sir Shriver backs him up?

Of course he backs him up. They both belong to the Century Club.

A .M. in small letters.

Maybe it's not out of March. He's too big for small letters.

He's too big for Simon Heck, too, for sure.

Bobby, low -distance call for you from Miami.

Line three.

Hello,

this is Detective Crocker.

What? Yeah, wait. Let me get that.

Go ahead.

And the calls?

Thank you very much.

The registered at the hotel is Mr. and Mrs. Simon Hecht. What about the phone

calls? He didn't make one long -distance call from the hotel, but anybody could

have called him, and there's no way of checking that.

Hecht tells the kid he's going to Florida on business, so he won't hang

You know, taking a vacation without him, with somebody that's not his mother.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go find out where he cut his vacation short by one week.

What are you building?

Oh, the U .S .S. Constitution.

But I'm really just looking at it.

My dad always helped me with the rigging. The rigging's real hard. You

be able to tie these knots just right.

I'm not very good at it.

Well, David, I could ask you some more questions.

Yeah.

Well, you said that your pop went to Florida on a business trip, did he?

Did he what?

Did he go on a business trip?

He said it was on business.

Oh, what do you think?

He said it was on business.

Did your father have any friends?

Well, of course.

Come on, you know what I mean.

Girlfriends.

I guess so.

Did you get him to see you?

Yeah.

Well, did he bring anyone in particular? I mean, you know, more than just once?

David, it's important.

I don't see why it's important.

I mean, what does this have to do with the kids? See where you are?

You came to us for help, right?

And I want to help you, don't I?

Sometimes in this job I got, which is kind of tough.

You know, I got to make people talk about things they don't want to talk

We got to know why your papa came home from Florida a week early, huh?

He took Paula to Florida.

Come on, David.

Paula.

He said it was business, but I knew it wasn't. I heard him talking the night

before on the phone to her.

Telling her when to meet him at the airport and all the arrangements.

I know it wasn't business.

Paula who?

He took the pictures out of the bedroom.

You mean the pictures of Mama?

He did it right after he met Paula.

Paula who?

I know she's dead, but... Well, it didn't hurt to leave the pictures there.

She made him do it. I know she did.

David.

You know, maybe there's Paula, this chick here. Maybe she's hurting your

You ever realize that?

Maybe I gotta go out and pinch her.

Well, you're not a pitcher. Arrest her. But I gotta have a last name.

McKay. Paula McKay.

Beautiful.

Tell me, Paula, how much you get for one of these things?

Oh, $500 if it's good.

$750 if it's bad.

I'd better stick to my own business.

Tell me, why'd you cut short your vacation?

How did you know about that trip?

Out of the mouths of babes.

In this particular case, the babe is 12, and he's not too thrilled with you.

David. David.

And what happened to Miami Beach?

He was supposed to stay there for two weeks.

He got a phone call.

Something important, I guess.

Any idea who called?

Yes, I do.

Somebody with a name out of an old 30s serial.

I was courting him all the way home.

Mark Gallant of the Marine Raiders.

Mark Gallant?

Well, I wondered what a grown man with a name like that might look like. Do you

know him?

Oh, yeah.

Very rich.

I mean, he's everything you might dream about.

With one exception.

What's that?

He lies, baby.

They are.

Gallant's not at home. He's not in his office.

Also lied to me about calling Miami Beach, and now he's just as missing as

Hecht.

Yeah, here.

Rosenberg.

All right.

Now, let me lay it all out for you, okay?

Then you can tell us anything you think might help, all right?

Now. Mr. Heck got 20 grand in an envelope, right?

Okay, we know that.

We also know that he got a phone call from Mr. Mark Gallant to Miami Beach,

him cut short his vacation, and he hurried home.

Now, we don't know who paid him the money, but we do know that there's these

initials, A .M. Remember, in the morning? A .M., yes.

Now, A .M., we also know that Mr. Mark Gallant's got a client, Mr. Arnold

very big, big client, who about 12 years ago...

His daughter is a client of Mr. Hecht's.

What? Her married name is Cole, Miranda Cole. She lives in California.

Mr. Hecht manages some New York properties for her.

And when did he get the account?

Right after that scandal about Mr. March.

And March bought some properties, put them in his daughter's name, and then he

got an outside lawyer, so it wouldn't be easy to trace, right?

Trucker, call the DA's office. Somebody's got to be there. Tell them we

their files on Arnold March.

I want to know where they think he is right now, whose contacts are in the

States, anything at all.

Right.

I, uh... I guess you're through with me, huh?

Hmm?

Miss Rosencrantz.

Okay. Maybe we'll do it again sometime.

I can't believe it.

I told you.

I tried to get March to stay down there.

When he tells the DA the names of the holding companies he's buried that

$25 million in, he'll fold them up.

I have to prevent that, Simon.

It comes down to you or me.

You paid me $20 ,000. I'll say you're a client of mine. I can't testify against

a client, even if I want to.

I have a son, Gallant.

Please. No.

He won't get out of that car unless you're there. And everything looks like

going exactly the way it's planned.

It's almost 7 .30. I'll head for the airport.

You might as well get him out of here and down to the meeting place.

I beg you. All appeals exhausted, Hecht.

I'm truly sorry.

Okay, let's go.

I have the worst luck with plants. You know, even plastic ones commit suicide

me.

You like Shirley, huh?

Oh, her name is Shirley?

Oh. Hello, Shirley.

She likes me to talk to. Oh, she does?

Yeah. Hello, Shirley.

What's your name?

Miss Rosenberg.

Miss, you're not married?

No.

Are you?

Wizard. Right this way.

Lieutenant Kojak, Mr.

Santangelo, Special Assistant, D .A.

You didn't bring the March records?

No. You don't seem to understand.

This is an urgent... Now, Lieutenant, there's no way anybody's going to see

those records.

Not even you.

You want to come inside here for a second?

What's your name again?

San Angelo. Oh, yeah, Mr. San Angelo. Look, I thought that the cops and the DA

were all on the same side.

And the only reason I'm interested in Arnold March, what his connection is

Simon Hecht.

Simon Hecht?

Yeah. You know, he's missing. Missing since when?

Since last night.

And what's the connection between March and him?

Hecht came to see me. March had gotten in touch with him.

March wanted to come back to this country.

He's ready to testify in front of a grand jury, but he wanted to make a

So Hecht was acting as his attorney. Oh, Mr. San Angelo.

How about Mark Gallant? He's his regular attorney.

Why didn't you do business with him?

Yeah, well, we have indirectly.

Gallant suggested to March that he use Hecht as a go -between with us.

Gallant's got his own reasons for staying in the background, business

So we agreed to keep his name out of it. Now, wait a minute, Mr.

Santangelo. You know about a connection between Gallant and Hecht? Sure.

So if Gallant lied to me about not talking to Hecht in Miami, you

that? I would expect that.

Your jaw just dropped, Theo.

Maybe Heck's not in trouble, right? I mean, maybe he's just being very

because of all these arrangements.

What are these arrangements?

March is supposed to come here from Rio, go to an undisclosed spot.

Then he's going to meet Heck. The two of them are coming in together to

surrender March to the authorities.

Where?

I'm not at liberty to tell you that. All right, then when?

Could be this weekend.

Crocker!

What is this?

Call the immigration authorities at Kennedy Airport.

I want every plane covered coming in from Rio. Give a description of Arnold

March, and if they spot him, hold him for us. What the hell are you talking

about? Hey, listen, wild man, I... Do it, Crocker!

Just hold it.

Here, you better talk pretty fast before I count him in that order. What do you

think this secrecy is all about, Frank? Do you want to know?

Arlemarch is going to get killed if this gets out, right?

Absolutely. My worst fear all this month. And I believe he's walking to

at this very moment. How do you put that together wise, Lieutenant, sir?

Simple Simon Heck.

That's who puts it together for me.

Contact Immigration.

I'm getting to know the sound of your voice.

Look, I want to ask you a quick question. Did you hear from your dad?

No. Nothing in the mailbox? No notes? Melissa didn't hear from him? No. Why?

I'll fill you in with all the details later. In the meantime, you keep working

on that model, okay? I want to see when you're finished.

Okay. Bye.

Uh, come here, Mr.

Santangelo.

That's nice.

You know, this solid citizen doting father.

Doesn't contact his kid for 24 hours.

You know what I think?

I think he's being held against his will.

I think that your plan, down the toilet.

I believe that there's an ambush.

Now, how does that hit your well -formed heels, Mr.

Santangelo? And here, suck on this a while.

Cool you off a little.

Now, listen.

Lieutenant has a reputation for putting these things together pretty well.

Well, maybe you should tell us where March is turning himself in.

I'm going to have to make a telephone call first.

About 20 minutes ago, W .B. Arnold cleared Customs and Immigrations, and

feel pretty sure that it was Mark's.

Well, is this man reliable?

All right, Lieutenant, your ballgame.

He turns himself in at the 37th Precinct. First, he meets with Heck for

of minutes. They go over some papers that we signed.

All right, Yo -Yo, who picked that meeting place?

Yo -Yo, I think that Heck did. I swear, I don't know where it is.

All I can tell you is that, according to Heck, the rendezvous was supposed to be

within three minutes of the station house. Within three minutes drive.

Okay, someplace in that area, someplace March knows it's safe.

How can he count on that?

How long does it take to get from Kennedy to the 37th?

Because that's about all the time we got left.

At this time, the traffic's light about a half an hour.

Heck, why have all people to see in this?

Hmm?

Because he handled March's property for his daughter.

Ms. Rosenberg.

I don't know that I can remember all of Mr. March's properties, Lieutenant.

Maybe you should write Mr. March's daughter in California.

Do your best, Mr. Rosenberg, but please just do it fast, okay?

West 91st. Yeah.

Union Square West, 14, I think. Yeah.

West 23rd. Iban.

9th Avenue. That's how, Miss Rose. We're near 23rd Street.

26th Street. Maybe. East side, west side?

West 26th Street.

900 -something, I think. Hold it again.

The 900s on West 26th.

That's right.

925, I'm pretty sure.

That's it.

Six plus from the station house.

All right, go get my hat and coat, huh? It's our best shot. Come on.

and for backup we'll meet you at 925 west 26th

It's a trap!

and lay across the front of the hood.

Arnold March.

You're still alive, huh?

You're very lucky.

You're under arrest.

And you too, pussycat.

Take those yo -yos down to the 37th.

Don't forget those other two coochie -coos down to the 37th.

Simon Hector, I presume?

Yeah. Come on.

Your kid's waiting dinner for you. I'll give you a ride.

David. David.

You're fine. Father! Your father!
