Original subtitles

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what I intend to do, Kenneth.

The first thing I intend to do is get the stick of what you just said out of

this apartment. That's what I intend to do first.

Secondly, I intend to buy me a gun. You hear that?

Give me a chance, will you? Getting a divorce is not easy. How do you think

having a baby is easy?

Linda, look, I love you. You love me? Oh, I heard that one. Yeah, you love me,

but don't divorce your wife, will you? And you will leave me with an

illegitimate baby.

Carter Bell's starting to leave, too.

Maybe she'll forget that window.

Don't you talk money to me!

Here! Okay, Barry, give me the glass.

Listen, I'll call you later when everything's ready, all right?

Look, what if the guy doesn't have the gun? He has it.

Okay. Maybe we should have waited. Barry, I'll get the gun.

What about the recording? You know, you haven't done that yet. I told you I'd

get it tonight. I'll get it tonight. Hey, would you just relax?

Relax. Everything's going to be fine.

We're doing it tomorrow, Barry. No more stalling.

And you better run!

Wilson and Stiles are outside. They got tools and satchels and they're operating

and we got them.

Who's with you?

Stiles is in the alley.

Come on, man. She left the window open.

Okay, Tonto, you go around the front, head them off, and don't forget their

killers, too.

Yes, sir.

Mrs. Whipple, you old bag.

What, are you spying on me again, huh? I got news for you.

They're going to break your lease. That so?

Yes, that so.

Well, I don't want to have to tell you what you can do with that lease.

But it's all yours, honey.

I'm going back to real family.

That's not going to give me a hog.

No

wonder

she screamed.

You got nothing on that cat.

Okay, party time.

Your Stiles and Wilson.

Freeze!

Drop it!

Spread them out.

Lieutenant!

All right, Mr. Wilson just killed Mr. Stiles. Or vice versa.

Anyway, he was a good New Yorker, very convenient, but a taxpayer.

Sorry to push you like that, Mrs. McCullough. It's all right, officer.

I knew somebody'd get hurt sooner or later over that tramp from Texas.

Well, what tramp from Texas would that be, ma 'am?

She's a waitress.

She calls herself an actress.

Hooker, she means.

She had herself a nice little love nest here.

And a sucker who'd pay the bills.

Hey, who's gonna pay for my holes in my wall?

Yeah, Detective Crocker, 220 East 54th Street, second floor, rear.

One for a squad car, one for the morgue. Couldn't learn to drive a truck, fix TV

or something?

I mean, you had to go and ruin that other poor lady's nice apartment?

A poor lady is buying a gun to kill her boyfriend.

She did say something about killing a hog and getting satisfaction.

the rehearsals, my dear. Oh, the rehearsals. Oh, first of all, I'll tell

had to wait in that girl's apartment for her from about, oh, I don't know, 4 to

4 .30.

Then in she comes, she has to have a snack, right?

Well, by the time we read through the scene a couple of times, which is not

easy, she's not one of your brother people.

I'd say it was, gosh, probably about 9 o 'clock.

Anyway, it was a big waste of time.

My darling, that sounds absolutely terrible, and I'm genuinely sorry about

Thank you, thank you.

So, Where are you off to?

I am off to that wildlife banquet that you insist on avoiding. Oh, I'm sorry,

darling. You know, all those grisly statistics about poachers is just very

upsetting.

Ten thousand elephants killed a year. It's unbelievable.

These are not my socks.

What?

Do you realize that I've bought every pair of socks in this drawer and these

not mine?

Maybe the laundry made a mistake, that's all.

I don't think they even have the case on them.

But they're not mine.

Kenneth, love, hey, could you give me just a few minutes before you go?

I need you, really.

Yes. No, no, no, no, no passionate thoughts. I only need your voice.

Are you sure it's just my voice? It's just your voice, yes.

Then, my dear, I won't have the time.

Oh, no, come on, don't pout, don't pout.

Just once, cue me. Only half a page, all right?

I want the body.

Okay, on his stocking.

I could take him and use him.

Well, what do we got here?

There's an answering machine and a love nest. This is a highly organized lady.

When does she know when to get in?

She works all night, she says.

She gets in around noon.

She put that machine in so she could get a lot of calls from agents. She said...

She couldn't afford to miss one.

Never know when lightning will strike on this, she said.

Well, he struck all right. About a week later, he paid her all her bills fast

and gave her a present.

She's pregnant.

Oh? But you promised. You promised to marry me.

I never promised to marry you.

Now, I will see that you get proper medical attention.

See that some amount of money is set aside so you can go back to Texas when

is over. Look, I don't want this to be over.

I love you. If I can't have you, nobody will.

That was good.

Okay, darling, go ahead.

Very good. Honey, be all right.

Don't you ever threaten me again.

Ever.

You understand?

We'll do this my way, not yours.

Terrific. Absolutely terrific.

You're a regular Barrymore.

Did you really think that? Yes, I thought you were wonderful. Now go save

elephants.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You really thought that was good? Oh, you're wonderful.

Yes, sir.

Goodbye.

Let me understand this.

Among the reports I'm to leave for McNeil when he gets back is one where

lieutenant has begun to investigate a homicide that has not yet taken place.

Just because a nosy landlady says that she heard a tenant scream that she's

going to kill her old man.

It was also overheard by the second story man we caught.

Oh, how's that for corroboration?

That's it.

Just terrific.

My husband's voice on her answering machine.

It's a clincher.

Are you sure you don't want to just pull the trigger yourself?

You ready to get chicken out?

Hey, I could have gotten half a dozen guys to knock him off for you.

I didn't have to volunteer for this.

Sure you did.

Fifty thousand just forced you to.

So relax, partner.

Linda Harper saying, this really isn't Linda Harper at all.

It's her answering machine.

So when you hear the beep, you know what to do. Yeah, drop dead. I hate those

machines. That's right.

Just leave any pearly words of wisdom or good news on the act in front and I'll

get back to y 'all as soon as I can by now.

That's the sweetest sounding little black widow I ever heard.

See, that sum amount of money is set aside so you can go back to Texas when

is over. Don't you ever threaten me again. Ever. You understand?

Hey, hold it. This is the police.

Are you still there, you hear me?

This is the police. Don't hang up.

Now, you tell me.

Do we really sit around and debate legalities until a buddy is delivered

Manhattan South?

It's your husband. He got suspicious. He must have had you followed.

Barry, use your head.

Kenneth doesn't suspect anything. I've been treating him like a saint for the

last couple of months. Look, he said this is the police. Don't hang up.

Relax, Barry. Just relax.

The landlady heard us arguing. She called the police. It's as simple as

Yeah, well, you guess, baby. For me, it's over.

Why?

We want them to find that apartment.

Tomorrow. After they find your husband dead. Not today.

Today, tomorrow. Come on. What difference does it make?

There's no way they can warn him.

His name is nowhere in that apartment, right?

A few socks, jacket with his initials on it.

Barry, there's no way they can trace him.

There's no one they can trace except Linda Hopper, and honey, she doesn't

right? Think, Barry, think, think.

There hasn't even been a crime yet.

You still want to go through with it?

Barry, you gave me the idea.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

You were just another rich woman always complaining about this nice, dull

husband that you married for the money.

Tell me, Barry, you suggest to a lot of these women they hire a hitman instead

of a lawyer.

Well, they don't have a husband worth several million in trust funds and no

to get at it until he's dead.

I see.

We're not so different, are we?

No, I guess not.

We're both gutter rats. We came from nowhere.

Money.

We will both do anything for enough of it.

I saw that in your eyes the first time I met you.

It's more than that.

You have any idea how many men I slept with to get my first job?

In a chorus.

I mean, before I was 18.

So I could take off my clothes in front of a lot of other men.

With tickets.

Well, I don't want to think about it anymore, Barry. I want to do it.

Just the way we planned it.

So I can stand on my own two feet and never submit to another man again.

Not for the rest of my entire wonderful life.

Now you want out, you get out.

Because I'll do it alone.

Fingertip 24 -7.

Catching up in your own time.

RTE Player. See what you're missing.

I recorded these messages off her answering machine after you left.

Uh -huh. Three of them.

Before that last call from her boyfriend.

Yes. This is Dr.

Foster's office, Miss Hopper. I see you missed your appointment yesterday.

Would you please call us to set up another?

Thank you.

Appointment for what? He was pregnant.

I'm calling every Dr.

Foster in the phone book.

Theo, what are you doing?

You have no case here. What do you even know? I know we had a shootout in some

lady's apartment.

And that she threatened to kill her lover.

Somebody with the initials KHK.

And that's all I know.

Did you get a composite?

No, he never showed his face to the landlady.

Well, let's show you what happens when you make a lieutenant. You get your own

office and you have time to stop crimes.

Come on, Theo, forget it.

Hey, all I want to do is figure out who the victim is and tell him this lady

isn't arcing around.

What victim?

Will you shut up and help?

I nearly thought I was back home. Heard that door sound to me like Galveston,

New Orleans.

Anyhow, I got your piece here.

She has cost you two bills.

You check the bar for me about noon tomorrow.

Au revoir.

She's out picking up a gun.

He's been working with Treasury trying to bust that trade. Any ideas who that

gun peddler could have been? How she got in touch with him?

You look long enough, you find a cabulis and laugh when you flash a few bucks

for a lead to a gun salesman. But that voice could be any one of 500 peddlers.

What about his accent?

Hers is Texas, is it?

He said she was from Galveston. How about New Orleans? That's close by,

Look, let me have the tape. I'll play for one of my contacts.

What was that last message?

Uh -huh.

All right, I'm hooked.

Linda, Bubby, one last word on the subject.

Rich don't mean he's nice.

Your life is far out, but he's a bum.

You should sue. Get satisfaction.

Now, I'll talk to you Sunday. I gotta work a double shift tomorrow.

Bye. Leave an officer at the apartment. When this woman calls back, you find out

what you need to know. Yeah, suppose KHA gets shot today.

I'll call you in a couple of hours, let you know how I'm doing. Thanks, Pete.

Are you busy rehearsing? Yeah, busy, busy.

Honey, I'm going to go to the... to the Parasite this afternoon.

And I'm going to photograph that eagle's nest that they spotted last month.

Aline, hi.

Yeah, it's Mrs. Crook.

Uh -huh. Can Barry take me at three?

All right.

I'll hold.

Getting your hair done again?

Well, I can't look too sexy for you now, can I?

Honey,

come on, tonight I'll...

I must talk to you.

You've got to listen to me.

Whenever things were going badly between us, I think I was most of the reason.

Darling, I was spoiled and well taken care of. Darling, please. Don't say no,

because I know it's true. I really know it's true. I always got my way. They

left me all that damn money.

They never taught me any consideration of other people's feelings.

I was never considerate of you.

Oh, darling, that's not true, Kenneth.

It's a mystery.

Things have been so wonderful between us that I'm afraid to breathe.

If I knew what it was that made things better so suddenly,

I would grab it and put it into a bottle.

I'll tell you what it is.

What? It's me. I just got smart. That's all. I realized what I had.

Now you go.

Chase's barrel.

I want to wear that pinky dress cut right up to about there. Well, maybe you

should leave. Yeah, I think you should leave.

Arlene, yes, I'm sorry. It's Mrs. Krug again.

Okay, I'll hold.

I'll see you tonight. I'll see you. Bye.

Barry. Hi, yes.

Can you take me this afternoon about three?

And are you sure you want to make that today, Mrs. Krug?

Yes, I'm positive.

Miss Hopper called here two days ago.

She said she had been to a doctor who said he preferred not to be involved

terminated pregnancy.

Meaning? She wanted an abortion?

Yes. She said she was in her first month and that the man involved insisted on

her not having a child. The doctor agreed on giving her a preliminary

examination and then she didn't show.

You have my name and number. If you should hear from the Miss Hopper, please

and reach me. You put her on hold, use another line, okay?

Thank you.

Go, Jack. It's Nicola, Theo.

How you doing?

Okay, I think I got a motive.

He wanted an abortion and she didn't. How about the accent?

There's a transplanted Creole hangs out in a bar near 9th and 42nd.

Strictly loner, but he does come up with guns.

Name up?

Don't fall down.

Swamp gas.

Well, I tell you, if this don't work, I'm going to come back here and try it

on you.

$200 is a lot of money for a popcorn.

Now, why do you want to talk that way, huh?

Pretty lady from Texas.

Shells.

They're already eating there.

Terrific. Fabian.

You wouldn't happen to be a little Creole gunman by the name of Swambo or

something like that?

Oh,

gee, dear.

Her name is Linda, Linda Hopper.

It's a .32 caliber weapon that you intend stiffening the two bills for.

Now you tell me whether or not that gun has changed hands.

I got your voice on tape calling into a telephone.

You want me to drag you down to the station where it can take forever

a... A Creole interpreter?

You want to waste your time?

Come on, take me to the belt.

Oui. Okay, come on. I'm doing a position. What for?

Come here.

There's a gun in your belt. It's not a gun. It's a belt buckle. You're a fool.

Charlie?

Why don't you plant that gun on me, eh?

How long ago was she here?

Oh.

Okay, hands behind your back.

Look.

So she was here maybe five, ten minutes ago.

Well, describe.

Tall, marvellous, dark, Texas broad.

Oh, merci, baby.

What are you doing?

You're a little dead.

Hey, come on, I gave you what you wanted.

You should have called Manhattan South and don't get any ideas.

Oh!

Oh.

He's sorry.

And that'll take hours to get it out.

Shall we?

Hi, Lane.

Ah, well, Mrs. Crew.

What'll it be, a shampoo and a set? I think we could just, uh, re -comb it

and be fine.

The gun is wrapped in a scarf on the top of my purse.

I'm not taking it.

What do you mean you're not taking it?

I don't like the cops coming around your apartment.

Look, I just drove by the apartment.

Someone was killed trying to rob it. It had nothing to do with us.

I still don't like it.

Barry, every cop in this city is going to think my husband was shot by a

mistress. Not by me.

And certainly not by you.

So just take the gun out of my purse.

And let's do it.

Be rich.

Well, uh, 50 ,000 doesn't set me up in anything.

You're gonna have to do a lot better than that.

Well, my little gutter rat.

Now you're talking so I can understand you.

All right.

What if I come by on Tuesday?

I should have my hair washed and set for the funeral, don't you think?

I'll have a hundred thousand.

Cash.

Even if I have to borrow it.

How do I know that?

Take it.

Your husband will see you don't have it on.

Between now and seven o 'clock.

Lieutenant?

Yeah?

Lieutenant, I talked to the guy in the laundromat down the corner. Two guys

across the street in a deli and a bartender. And in the two months that

been here, they've only seen her about half a dozen times. Any description of

this lover she's out to kill? She's always been alone.

Yeah, well, secretly I think they're both ashamed to be seen because they're

bald.

The drain in the bathroom sink, no hair.

Just like home for me, I don't like it a bit, Bobby. I saw a swamp gas at the

office. So the lady really did buy a gun.

There we go. Thanks for the help, Steve.

May I mention the fact that you still don't have the missing person?

Okay. So a corpse turns up shortly, initials KHK, shot with a .32 caliber

We have that person, but it's a little too late.

Theo, you start sending stuff to the lab pertaining to this Linda Hopper before

she's an actual suspect for actual murder.

You are legally jeopardizing your evidence.

Insufficient cause, remember?

Hey, I don't want to be a stormtrooper. I respect the lady's constitutional

rights, okay?

Respect the fact that you cannot stop a crime. And you know it, Theo. It's catch

-22. Baby, a little inspiration instead of all this solid infuriating advice.

That makes sense, okay?

Linda, Boogie, one last word on the subject.

Rich don't mean he's nice.

Your life is far out, but he's a bum.

You should sue. Get satisfaction.

Now, I'll talk to you Sunday. I gotta work a double shift. tomorrow. Bye.

Right at the end.

After she finishes talking, just before she hangs up.

I've got to work a double shift tomorrow.

Bye.

Some kind of machinery.

Maybe she works in a factory.

They're looking for you at Uptown Detectives.

Two witnesses brought in on the Anselmo murder. That was your case, was it not?

Sorry, Lieutenant.

See you later.

Yeah.

A coin slot.

Machinery turning.

Metal door slamming and a coin slot.

Sure, baby.

Yeah, this is Barry.

Room 301.

I'm going to unlock it, put the key inside, and slip out.

You're to call my husband at 7 exactly.

Now, is that definite?

Okay, okay, that's definite this time.

You're the manager?

Yes. Yeah, well, one of my men came in here a little while ago asking about a

very pretty dog -head lady.

Yeah, sure, Miss Hopper.

Well, look, I don't know what to tell you about her.

She's very pleasant. Not that I see her too many times. Yeah, well, I'm not

looking for her right now. I'm looking for a friend of hers.

Called her yesterday from here, from that phone right over there.

Miss Hopp, I have any particular friends that you might have seen her with?

Look, I don't know. I'm here one man all by myself, 15 hours a day. I got enough

to do checking out machines.

I don't check out people.

Yeah, well, look, baby, you're also a man.

I mean, check out the girls, fool around, have a little fun.

All right, now look.

It seems to me like the first time she come in. She talk to a young chick that

comes in here all the time.

Randy? Judy.

Judy who?

Just Judy. She's a waitress in the coffee shop on the next block.

Thanks. Sure thing.

yesterday from the laundromat. Is that illegal?

No, I told you, Judy, all I want to do is find a girl or her lover.

Now, so far, you're my only contact with her.

Not that I want to be nosy, but why?

Well, she's pregnant, right?

Obviously got a short temper.

Short temper, yes.

Well, I think she's going to do a lot more than just sue this guy.

Like?

Shoot him.

Far out.

Nobody to get hurt, but that really is incredibly far out.

Not that I don't think she couldn't do it.

Not that I know her that well, really. Except we talked when she first came in

the laundromat.

I was like a confidant, you know?

Not that we were all that close, but I guess she trusted me.

Yeah. Any clue where she works, where I might find her?

She ever mention exactly where in Texas she was from?

She got an agent you know about?

She ever come in here with this guy?

She ever mention his name?

What did she tell you about?

He was married, he had a lot of money, and he was going to divorce his wife to

marry her.

Big luck there, huh?

Getting pregnant, and all he's going to do is pay for the operation.

You know his last name?

Well, I guess his initials, K -H -K.

And no way to track him down.

Well, I know his first name's Kenneth. She told me about him.

Tell me, anything else she told you about him? Anything?

One day, she asked me over to her apartment for a drink. So I go.

And she is... carrying on about this guy, and how he's big into spending his

family's money on saving the birds and the crocodiles and stuff, and how he's a

little freaky about this, but it's okay with her, and how they really got this

thing going, and how he really digs brunettes more than his wife, who I

blonde, and how he went to Harvard and everything, and that's it.

Thanks.

Well, Lieutenant, we've got Kenneth H. King, class of 68.

No, he's an older man, lots of money.

Well, most of the Harvard Club members are mature men with generous incomes.

Here, what about Ken Krug?

Is he married?

I believe so, a little over a year ago.

Is she blonde?

Very blonde.

At least she was the last time I saw her. You know the type.

Unfortunately, we had to ask her to leave.

They argued rather loudly.

Can I use your phone?

What's the address, Mr. Taylor?

4240 Riverside Plaza.

Thank you.

I call it Kojak.

Hey, I'm on to her.

Here, get that swamp kisser.

Bailed out!

Now, who the... I'm sorry for the noise, Mr. Taylor. Am I blackballed?

I'll see you on Monday, Eileen.

Who could bother?

I don't want to be announced.

Third floor on the left.

Charles, I just reached Bill Norton over at the Audubon Society with some

terribly distressing news.

I'll get it, darling.

Well, he already called you?

What did he say?

Yeah, who is it?

Please, Mrs. Krug.

Is it important? We're just on our way out.

Yes, ma 'am.

I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm Lieutenant Kojak, and it's urgent I speak to Mr.

Krug.

Well, he's inside, but as I said, we're just on our way out. It's urgent, Mrs.

Krug. Very urgent.

Anything you want, Lieutenant?

What is it?

Well, I wonder if I could speak to you privately, Mr. Kruger, on a personal

matter. Lieutenant, the only personal matter of any real concern to me is the

criminal disregard of endangered species.

Now, what is it? I have no secrets on my wife.

This is a very sensitive matter.

All right. As I said, I would prefer to handle it privately.

Now, if you're worried about any legal technicality, I can assure you that you

will have no problems on my account.

Mr. Krug, I assure you, I've heard those words before, spoken just as sincerely

before. Are we going to stand here and shout across the room, or are you going

to give me a chance?

All right.

Now then, what is the big secret?

It's not another woman, Mr. Krug. You understand how I prefer to do it this

Another woman, Lieutenant.

I don't think I understand.

Oh, I see.

Okay, does an address on 54th Street mean anything to you?

No.

The name Linda Hopper from Texas?

In fact, I've never heard of her, Lieutenant.

Ever see a pair of socks like this before, Mr. Krug?

Where did he get these?

In Miss Hopper's apartment along with the blue robe of sorts with KHK on it.

Let that be the robe that we had accused the cleaner for losing.

I don't understand.

Have Kenneth's things gotten from our laundry into someone else's?

Well, since I have no choice but to talk in front of you, Mrs. Krug, I'm sorry

to say that your husband appears to have been spending some time in this lady's

apartment. Kenneth?

Oh, that's nonsense.

An affair.

Are you suggesting an affair?

With a wife like Carol?

That's absolutely absurd.

Oh, darling, relax, please. I don't believe a word of it.

Mr. Krug, two burglars were arrested while breaking into this lady's

While we were on the scene, various things have now led us to believe that

occupant has purchased a gun and intends to kill you.

Kill me?

But for what?

But it appears Miss Hopper became pregnant.

And this gentleman, we believe to be yourself, refused to take the course of

action she wanted.

How did you come up with Kenneth's name?

Girlfriend Judy.

She left a message on Linda Hopper's answering machine.

I managed to, uh, to locate this Judy.

I'm serious, Mr. Krug. I think this lady's preparing to shoot you on sight

possibly tonight.

This is absolutely insane.

There is no other woman.

I adore my wife, Lieutenant.

There's absolutely no reason to look at anyone else.

Well, I'm sorry to say this too, Mr. Crow, but they tell me at your club

that the two of you had some rather outspoken argument.

Oh, Lieutenant, if we had any problems at all in the first year of our

it was entirely my fault. I just... I didn't appreciate what an extraordinary

man I'd found.

Lieutenant, my wife found it difficult giving up the theater at first.

By now, my rather ordinary life has come to appeal to her.

Well, darling, it's hardly ordinary.

No, I, um... I take class now and then. I study. It's enough. Believe me.

We're extremely happy, Lieutenant.

You obviously have come for the wrong man.

Goodbye.

We have your voice.

On an answering machine, Mr. Crow.

Leaving a message for Miss Harper.

This is absolutely unbelievable.

We'll do this my way, not your. This was your message on the answering machine.

Now I'll see you get the proper medical attention. See that some amount of money

is set aside so you can get back to Texas when this is over.

Don't you ever threaten me again.

Ever.

Understand?

Do you ever say those words on the telephone, Mr. Krug?

No, I never said those words.

Lieutenant, could you please give us some time alone?

There may not be time, Miss Scrooge.

We'll call you.

Please get out!

That message on the woman's phone, those were the lines that you had me read for

the play.

Yeah, that's right.

What do you mean, that's right?

That girl I was rehearsing with, with her apartment. So I, uh, I had the tape

and I simply, I simply called it in and left it on her answering machine.

As a joke.

Kenneth, she's a practical joker. I thought she'd get a kick out of it,

all.

If I went to her drama class and confronted her, would she know what I

talking about?

Oh, Kenneth, please.

And the socks?

And my robe?

If the other woman's a problem, is that another joke?

I have no idea, Kenneth.

Well, then maybe we should ask the lieutenant. Maybe he knows.

Wait a minute.

You wait a minute.

Are you... Are you having an affair?

With a girl from my acting class? Oh, that would be just perfect.

Oh, my God. Please stop it, Karen.

Of course, that's what's happening.

I should have known better. Oh, my darling, I'm so glad things are changing

between us that we're past our little misunderstanding.

Right, I'm the one who's doing all the changing.

And what are you doing, Kenneth, huh?

What are you doing when I think you're developing pictures in your darkroom for

hours? Tell me, what are you doing?

Tell me!

Where's your ring?

Must have left it in the bathroom. But you never take it off.

Now, what the hell is going on? You can't get filthy hands off of me!

For a whole year, I was terrified.

You were setting me up for a divorce.

And I was so happy when everything changed.

Whatever game you're playing with me, Carol, I'm no match for it.

I really am not.

What is it that you want?

A divorce, after all?

Oh, sure.

Carol Yablanski, former, uh, new dancer up against your army of Harvard lawyers.

What would I get, Kenneth?

What would I get? A thousand, maybe five thousand a month.

Your little handout, that's of course if I never married again, never did

anything, never lived with anybody. Well, no way.

Ken, who put you up to this?

Really? Was it another man?

Was it the other woman?

Now there's no other woman, Kenneth.

It's me.

Making it look like you're having an affair and there's no other man, baby.

all you.

My disgust for you needs no help from anyone.

Would you really kill me?

Yes, you would.

I'm sorry, but I cannot talk right now.

You better talk, Mr. Krug. What do you mean?

and seeing some very intimate pictures of your wife with another man before I

show them to the newspaper.

Then you better meet me at the Radames Hotel, room 301.

And you better make up your mind right now.

Pictures with another man?

What else is there that I don't know, Carol?

Why don't you go see for yourself, Kenneth?

You can do with those pictures whatever you please.

It doesn't make any difference anymore.

Whoever you are, I still love you.

Larry, I've talked him out now.

I think you should come right over here and bring the gun.

That's no way.

You get over here.

Because if I'm caught, you're caught.

Kojak. Yeah.

No fingerprints at all in her apartment.

Just those Wilson and Stiles. That's the report from forensics. And no prints on

Mr. Krug and no women's prints at all. Look, she wipes every print off of that

apartment before she storms out in a rage.

And this is a woman who forgot to close the window.

No hair in the sink, no fingerprints, no idea where she actually works.

We don't even know if she's really pregnant or just says she is.

Look, when you talk to Wilson again, see if you got any sort of look at that

man. All right, hold it.

Saberstein just left him.

Saberstein! Yeah.

Did you ask Wilson if he remembered the guy? All he remembers is the gal hooking

up her garter belt.

Hey, Crocker, how many women do you know who still use garter belts?

Well, it's not that they're still using them, Lieutenant. They went back to

them. And personally, I'm sorry to say, I don't know of any.

Well, suddenly I know two of them, which is one too many. Look, you meet me at

the Krug apartment now, and bring Rizzo.

He's just fine.

They think Linda's going to shoot him and that's just what she'll do.

Then I'll leave here. I'll get you a cab.

Make sure the cab driver remembers me. Have him drop me off near the bus

terminal and disappear. And Carol will come back and... I'm fine.

All right, shoot him.

Go ahead, shoot him.

I can't.

Give me that gun.

Give me my ring.

You owe me. Give me my ring and get out of here.

Are the crooks still up there? I don't know. I just keep back on duty.

Oh, there's one of their friends. Sir, are the crooks at home? These gentlemen

are police officers.

The crooks, 301.

Give me a pen.

Come with me.

Come on.

Harper saying, this really isn't the top at all. It's her answering machine.

So when you hear the beep, you know what to do.

That's right.

Just leave any pearly words of wisdom.

All good news on the acting front. And I'll get back to you all as soon as I

can. Bye now.
