After 10, where's Wolfman with the kids?

You'll get used to him after a while.

He stops and buys them breakfast.

The way those kids eat, they're always late.

Let's grab a soda.

Mira, what are they doing here?

Relax, Brenner. Just park further down the street, man.

Bye.

Hi, Lieutenant.

How are you?

What do we got?

Two dead cops hollering in Esposito. They were off duty. It was their police

athletic day with the kids. What about the kids? They were lucky. They were

late.

Witnesses? Some patrons. They didn't see anything. A couple of pickets outside,

but they don't know anything.

What did forensics come up with? Well, they know it was dynamite. As to the

amount of sticks, they don't know yet. And as far as the timing device is

concerned and what the sticks were contained in, that's another story.

Lieutenant, this is Mr. Frankel, the owner.

Lieutenant Kojak.

Did you ever have any trouble before?

All I can stand.

When I got the new automatic equipment, it was the pin fetters.

Now it's short order cooks.

I got one griddle over there. The union stuffs a guy down my throat and he can't

even fry an egg. I've been knocked over twice, but never any bombings or

killings. And would you believe it? After all this happening, some guy takes

with a pair of bowling shoes.

Who took off? Just a guy who comes in here once in a while, a Rican or

something. Uh, around 30.

Sharp dresser. Okay, it might be a 30 -year -old Puerto Rican male.

He's a sharp dresser and what else?

That's all.

Wait a minute.

What if he comes back for these boots?

I should be that lucky.

Severus.

Crocker.

I'm going to complete rundown on those two cops who got killed.

I want to know what they were working on, who they were working with.

Where they go at night, who loved them, who hated them, but most of all, who

killed them. Go ahead.

Saperstein. Yeah.

All the crazies in the neighborhood. Check on them. You got it.

You stop us. Take every customer one by one.

Go through it all. Yes, sir.

Hey!

Was Polo in there?

Are these Polos?

Yeah, and he wouldn't go nowhere without them.

He did?

No, he got out. How come you know Polo? Oh, he comes by when he goes to bowl.

Gets the shine and we pass the time of day. Like how?

Talking sports. He lives up near Yankee Stadium.

Or what used to be Yankee Stadium before they tore it apart.

He's a Yankee fan like me.

Ever give you his last name?

Yeah.

We used to laugh about that.

Same as that utility infielder that... Got traded to Montreal.

Olivares? That's the one.

He couldn't catch cold at Olivares.

Here. You owe me a shine, baby.

Thank you.

Thanks.

What's this I hear you canceled a pickup on Olivares?

Huh? I want that man's scoops, Frank. You can't do it.

What do you mean I can't do it? What do I mean you can't do it?

Which way didn't you understand?

You can't do it.

You can't do it. The man is a high -level informant for South Bronx

Intelligence. He can't be compromised.

Now, I just got off the horn with Chief of Detectives. You're telling me that

South Bronx is giving the orders to cops that killed Frank, and South Bronx is

going to tell me and tell you who we can talk to or not?

Maybe I'll let Lieutenant Dana answer that.

Since Olivera seems to be his private property, do you mind stepping in the

flight?

Chuck Dana, South Bronx Intelligence.

Is Olivera with you? He's the one I want. to face to face with? Sorry,

gets to face to face with him. I can't compromise his identity and have his

picture all over the six o 'clock news. What am I asking? For an audience with

the Pope, there are two cops killed and two brand new widows. I'm well aware.

And as of this moment, he's our only prime suspect.

Polo did not plant that bomb, Kojak. He's dead set against violence. That's

of the reasons he came over to us in the first place.

Guilty or not, he's our only prime witness and I want to talk to him.

there are two kinds of sources.

The kind that tells you something after it's gone down, and the kind that tells

you the where and the when before it happens.

Polo's that kind.

Terrific. Now, what else is new?

Two months ago, the word went out that one of our Puerto Rican congressmen was

going to be hit.

He'd alienated the radical community. He said something, I don't know. We had no

idea which rat group was involved, and we had no hope of finding out. Then

Olivares came up with a couple of crazies. We sucked them up in the middle

try. Thanks to Polo. And those crazies weren't working alone, either. You ever

hear of a group called El Compadre?

Should be a heavyweight militant group, right? Forget used to be it.

That brownstone in the Bronx that went up last year. Four were killed, seven

injured in that one. We know now that that's where El Compadre was storing

arms. Thanks to Polo. Thanks to Polo. Why don't you tie a ribbon around him?

Can't. Not enough.

He's only been with the organization for four months.

Our information is okay as far as intelligence goes, but as evidence, it's

as hell. I mean, we'd have about enough time in court for the judge to give us

our walking papers, and then Polo's cover would be blown for nothing.

Are you telling me your case is more important than mine? Of course not. I'm

telling you that I got homicides, too, and I could have a lot more.

El Compadre has had time to regroup.

Losing their headquarters in that brownstone may have set them back a

but it did not wipe them out.

I need Polo. He's my best chance to find the new headquarters, but we gotta have

time.

I know you'd love to implicate Oliveras in this morning's bombing, and I suppose

I can't blame you for that, but I'm telling you right now, his being there

nothing but sheer coincidence.

Then how come he left the scene?

For the same reason that I'm protecting him. Now he can't afford to be involved.

Look, anybody could have totaled that bowling alley. Anybody. Don't look for

rhyme or reason in it. It's open season on cops.

It's also open season on informants.

And that ever occurred to you that maybe they weren't after the cops at all?

But our Polo was our prime target?

No way.

It's my business to know if anybody's close to my sources.

Polo has not been had, no way.

You've his assurances on that?

I will have when I talk to him.

Now kindly get off my back, Lieutenant.

When I have the answers, you will have the answers. Fair enough?

And may I humbly inquire when that will be, Lieutenant?

I'll find him.

Captain.

Rizzo, get me Gomez.

Hey, you up to something?

Me? Oh, not me, Skipper.

Gomez, I'm shipping him to the Bronx.

Theo, you were told to lay off.

Frank, you heard the man.

I'll find him, he said.

Which means he lost him.

And where does it say in department regulations that I can't lend a helping

hand? If Dana doesn't know where Olivares is, how the hell is Gomez going

find him? Well, with what I've got. To do with the flashy dresser, he did a

little boxing like space ball. Theo, that's half the Bronx.

Half his job is done.

Un momentito, ah?

Hey, mama, what's happening?

How's the game coming along?

Have you seen Polo?

I can't find him anywhere, you know. I checked the gym, the ballpark.

Oh, man, that's a bummer, you know.

Come on, man, you know Polo.

He hangs around here all the time.

I never heard of him.

Oh, man, that's a bummer.

That's a shame, man. He told me he was going to be around here all the time,

know? He's making me look bad. It's bad for my reputation, man.

You think you can take him?

I'm not looking to fight him, you know. I owe him some red.

You dig?

I mean, I was supposed to pay him last week, but now I have the money and

there's no Polo. Why don't you leave the money with me?

What do you think? I'm some kind of socafe.

The next thing you'll be telling me, you're going to give me a receipt,

Any name you want, man.

Come on, man. It's for Polo, not for you.

Sometimes he goes to Atlantic City.

What, he thought your beach is not good enough for him? Yeah, but his sister has

a shop in Atlantic City.

Chevera, man.

Hey.

You're

beautiful.

Yeah, we're going to the beach.

Atlantic City.

Yeah. You get your fanny in here, okay, so you can find the borough log. All

right.

Rizzo, roll in here.

Call the Better Business Bureau in Atlantic City. A woman named Olivares

shop there. Find out where it's located.

All right, Lieutenant.

Have you seen Polo around lately?

Yeah.

How do you spell that?

Uh -huh.

Hey, thanks very much.

Marinela Olivares, La Boutique de Marinela.

What else you got? She lives there, too.

Have you seen Polo?

Operator, I want to place a long distance call to Atlantic City.

Hello? Hello.

Is Polo there?

No, he's not. Who's calling? Chuck.

If you see him, just tell him to call me. He's got my number.

Why?

Why are we in this situation?

It's not right.

Marinella, please.

It's not the cop's fault.

I know.

I'll be all right. I'll straighten the whole thing out.

When?

There's no time. Go now.

I gotta stay here until it's finished.

Can I help you?

Oh, yeah. The lady who sells the taffy over there. Tell her where I can find

her.

Uh -huh.

All right. The blue and white building next door.

Apartment 412 upstairs.

My name's Kojak.

Who?

Lieutenant Kojak, New York City Police.

Hold it right there.

I'm not saying anything.

You're from New York. What are you guys doing here?

You got a warrant?

No warrant, man. Just a little conversation.

About what?

About, about, about your bowling average.

I don't know nothing.

I got nothing to tell.

You know something?

To a guy who knows nothing, you sure put a lot of distance between you and that

bowling alley.

Come on.

Man, you sure got something against your sister.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? You know something that hasn't registered.

Hey, if we can find you, soak in the guys with the dynamite.

Look, I will go with you.

But I only talked to Dana.

That's fine.

Talk to Dana, just as long as you talk.

Would you give me a minute?

You got it.

I'm going back to the city with them. With them?

Why? You shouldn't go with them.

You're just going to get yourself in deeper.

You're safer with me, but you're not safe... Shh!

All right.

I'll call you when I get there.

Tenga cuidado.

How's it going, Lieutenant?

Throw Dan on the phone. Get him down here.

Uh, hello, Lieutenant.

What took you so long?

Out.

When? Late last night.

Well, she doesn't have a car.

Her friends had one.

What did they look like?

I don't know.

Two guys in an orange GTO.

I didn't pick him up in Bronx.

I picked him up in Jersey.

And it is this.

Yeah, but that's not important.

What is important is that he's clammed up on me. And I need you to help me make

him talk.

Where is he? All right.

There's two turns to the left and one dog back to John.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here. That Kojak man is nuts.

Does he know we work together?

Think at that.

Suppose I ask the question.

What went down in that bowling alley?

You're the cop.

You tell me.

Well, I wasn't there when the roof fell in, that's all.

You were in there?

How did you get out without a scratch?

Why did you run?

I knew there would be cops and reporters, and I don't need any

I agree with that.

But why all the way to Jersey?

It was a big deal.

You know I go there all the time. I just used to say you weren't there.

Do you call?

Damn right I call.

You're not going to sound like this Kojak guy.

Why weren't you accepting calls, Paul?

Look, what is all this?

Every time I blow my nose, do I have to tell you about it?

Listen, man.

I came to you.

I'm not on the company's payroll, and you don't own me.

What I do or don't do is my business.

Okay. All right, take him easy.

Sit down.

Look, when do I get out of here?

When I'm satisfied with all the answers.

Was it our compadre, Polo? You crazy man.

If it hadn't been them, I would have been camped on your doorstep.

You sure they have no idea?

Not a chance.

Look, I've really been straight with you.

When do I get out of here?

Soon.

What'd you get?

He says he saw nothing. I think he's lying through his teeth.

Okay, I think we ought to cut him loose and see what falls down.

Crocker, get in here.

We're cutting Oliverus loose, and I want you to follow him.

As if he was a chick you had eyes for, you understand?

Every move he makes, wherever he goes, and if something doesn't turn out

you call me, okay?

Oh, and take Gomez with you.

Right now he's down at Millie's Coffeehouse. He said he went for coffee.

ahead. Thank you.

You're out but please for everybody's sake this time stay in touch. Don't

about that.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're losing him. What do you mean losing him?

I've lost him.

You better go to his apartment.

Roger, I kind of got a piece of it for losing this guy.

I hope he goes to his apartment.

Yeah, well, it's all we've got.

You hear anything?

Try the door.

Go down the fire escape and look in the window.

Be careful.

How about Brenner? Have you seen him?

If you see any of them, tell them that I know about Marinella and that I want to

make a trade.

I'll be waiting in my apartment.

Touch the door.

There's a bomb wire there. Do you hear me? Don't touch the door.

All right, I'll call it in. You start evacuating the building.

What's going on?

What's wrong with you? Jenna!

740 Central to 7. We have a bomb. Take.

Yeah,

I see him. Go ahead. I want you to make a house -to -house.

See if anybody spotted any of Polo's playmates.

Good afternoon.

I think it's time that you and me, we had another fireside chat, okay?

Only this time I want your participation.

By that I mean I want your mouth to move with words which are righteous.

Okay, okay.

It was Brenner and Peña at the bowling alley. They were trying for me.

Now we're getting someplace.

Those guys, they found out about me. How?

I don't know.

And that is why I took off for Jersey. Why didn't you tell me?

Why? Why all the lies?

I know a little bit about you. You're a pretty smart cookie.

Why'd you come back to your apartment? Don't they know where you live? Sure,

I came back to pick up a gun.

Oh, like you couldn't get one anyplace else? Okay, would you knock off the

romance?

I'm not buying that story about Peña and Brenna.

I'm saying that you're the one who planted the bomb in a bowling alley and

killed two cops. I'm saying you're the one that planted the bomb in your own

apartment to try to get Dana.

I'm booking you for murder one.

You got through that.

They got Marinela.

Uh -huh.

That's it, huh?

And why didn't you tell us they had her?

Because I love my sister.

Oh, yeah, and you didn't want a lot of cops getting in the way because you can

handle it better yourself.

It's me they want.

I figure I could make a trade.

I still think I can.

Please, you can't let me help my sister, otherwise I'll kill her.

Hey, kid, what did you use to fight middleweight?

What's that got to do with it? You're in the wrong division.

You're with the big boys now, the heavyweights. Why don't you sit aside

us take care of it?

We'll get her back. You're gonna get her killed.

Wrong. We'll get her back, I promise you that.

But there'll be no trading.

You saw two cops getting killed. Better than that, you saw who did it. You

became my star witness.

Crocker, would you mind calling my squad and tell whoever's there to send down

every available body to toss up the neighborhood? Maybe we can come up with

witness, someone who might have seen whoever was planted that bomb up there.

You got any photos for Compadre?

You have surveillance photos.

Tell them to send those down, too, if you don't mind.

All right, Crocker.

Is there anything you've forgotten to tell us?

You've got everything I know.

Well, we can't put Polo in jail.

No telling how long their reach is.

We just have to find a nice safe house for him. Any ideas?

Yeah, we've used the manganitas before, but we need a babysitter.

Babysitter? Have I got a babysitter for you. Gomez!

You and your bomb.

They don't leave any evidence.

What happens when they don't go off?

It's our signature.

Everybody's got a signature, man.

And none of it can be traced back to us.

Besides, Munoz is following him.

He'll know where they've taken him. Sure, Cantor. If they put him in jail,

duke you in to do the job.

Stop it.

All of you, stop it.

How much do you think I can take? He's my brother.

He's a stool pitcher. I know what he is.

And he has to be eliminated.

But then do it. Get it over with.

I had the opportunity. I should have killed him myself.

Hey, Lieutenant, when I got here, I figured something was a little weird.

super said that the apartment's been vacant for a month, but there's Chinese

food all over the place.

Some post -Chinese food.

Check this joint out?

Yeah, I sent one of the guys down there to see if anyone made a delivery.

Hey, this looks awful. Oh, sayonara, baby. Are you kidding?

This is a great Chinese delicacy. It's called Shai Tzu, too, monsieur.

Well, it looks it. Yeah, but you'll totally like it and taste it.

Sergeant Sanchez gave me the photo to give to you.

What about the alarm?

Well, they checked out Brenner and Pena's addresses, but nobody's home.

Here, Lieutenant.

Right, Crouch. Have them checked out.

Okay.

This could be a nest of cockroaches, but take a look at the magnificent view.

Polo's a problem.

I promised Polo I'd get his sister back, and I will.

Here we go.

Deliver that stuff?

Yeah, one of my regulars.

Could you identify him?

If I saw him, sure.

Take a look at these.

No.

No.

That's him.

Peter Cantor.

The kind of radical group's groupie. He's been a member of every organization

there ever was, except the Boy Scouts.

Because they wouldn't have him.

I never connected him with anything this heavy, so I don't keep tabs on him.

He's going to be hard to find. He uses about half a dozen aliases.

Well, I can tell you he was a lousy tipper.

Worse dresser, too.

Wore white shoes with everything.

Hospital? Yeah, maybe.

Maybe just dug tennis.

Maybe he made pizzas.

Maybe he was given a bad imitation of Bad Boone.

Hey, man, will you relax, huh?

Come on, man, relax. Will you sit down? These things take time.

You got me bananas with all that huffing and puffing.

This is what I needed.

A good workout.

You know, I used to be in great shape.

I could do push -ups all day.

Dr. Brown, 245.

This ought to make your day.

A guy named Munoz takes a shot at Polo.

Well, Gomez nails him. But Polo, he slipped away.

Well, that makes it very simple. Just another alarm.

Now all we have to do is find your compadre or stop Polo before they find

other. Father Finley, dial 4.

How's your man?

Not well. He's got a terminal case of embarrassment.

Ah, gentlemen, may I help you? Well, I certainly hope so.

Are you in?

No, but I've been to a lot of hospitals tonight.

I'm Lieutenant Kojak, sister, and this is Lieutenant Dana.

Sister, do you recognize that man?

I do, of course.

That's David Roth.

We know him by another name.

Could we see the employment record, please? We've got to get his home

Oh, I'm afraid those records aren't maintained.

David was a volunteer worker, but maybe I have some correspondence.

Excuse me.

Four rings.

That's me.

If you get any word, you can reach me here.

Ruben, if this rings for me, I'll be in the back room.

Sorry for the delay, gentlemen.

You know, it costs money to maintain those files and time.

You know, we have enough on our hands just taking care of the sick. Sometimes

there's no understanding.

Sister, uh... Helena.

Helena, of course.

I just want to make sure I got it straight the next time I see Cardinal

you know.

Tell him we met. Oh, you know his eminence, do you? I hate to break this

Don't be so impatient, young man.

Sister Sarah, 226, please.

Hello, this is Polo. You wanted to talk to us?

Save it, man.

What is my sister?

I want to make a trade.

Wait a minute.

He wants the deal.

Think it's a setup?

Well, you know what we heard.

Paolo ran from the heat when Munoz bought it.

Besides, he wouldn't play with his sister's life.

Let me talk to him.

Hello, Paolo?

You see, patients don't have authority, young man.

When Dr. Castro opened his clinic, he inquired about David.

Now, I don't know whether he got the job or not, but as you can see, I gave him

a good recommendation.

Good. I always keep an accurate file of my own personal correspondence.

George Castro, M .D. Jorge.

Jorge.

Free clinic, 6021 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, New York.

Well, thank you, sister.

Dr. Stevens.

Dr. Stevens.

2263.

I'll be there.

But I want to talk to my sister. Put her on.

Bring her here.

Polo? Hello, this is Polo.

Are you okay?

I'm all right.

Polo, don't... We'll let her go when you get here.

Are you all right?

I worry about you.

Don't.

I made a decision when I joined.

That decision stands.

Are you strong enough?

I take my strength from you.

Damn. I was hoping we'd get lucky with the fake odds.

Turn left on the next block to clinic step.

He's locked.

All right, let's try the back.

Oh. What?

Go to school tomorrow, sweetheart?

Where'd you get the candy?

I know.

Here.

I'll trade you these last longer.

How many you got?

Three or four.

Give me an arm, I'll tell you where I got mine.

Oh, no.

The nice lady in there gave them to me.

Oh, yeah? When?

A little while ago, before she went in.

Get them back up.

Is the lady with anybody?

I got two sisters.

That's nice.

They like candy, too.

Yeah.

Was the lady with anybody?

Some men. They went in there after the doctor went home.

Oh, did she say anything to you?

No, but she was crying.

I gotta go now.

Women.

7 -2 -3 requesting a 10 -13 at Free Clinic, 6021 Jackson Avenue, Bronx.

That's 6021 Jackson Avenue, Bronx.

7 -2 -3, 10 -4.

10 -4, 7 -2 -3.

Backup's on its way.

You want to tell me what this is all about? Let me see if I can get the jump

you by going to Atlantic City. Do you know that was the home of saltwater

And this Maranello stocks enough of it to feed an army.

Let me tell you something.

Did you ever work at kidnapping where the victim has time to pass out candy?

I want the street cordoned off. Stop moving people out of adjacent buildings.

want six units out front, at least three in the back. Put a couple of guys up on

the clinic roof. Move.

Everything set?

I hope.

The place is a perfect cover.

That's why we got to get him outside.

Who would ever think of using a clinic as a headquarters?

What am I in, a negro chamber?

No, but you might be in the middle of World War III if it turns out this is

their new spy.

That's why we got to get them out in the streets, away from their arsenal.

This is the police.

I want you to throw out your weapons and come outside one at a time.

Keep your hands on your head and walk backwards.

Give or take, you got two minutes.

Something wrong at the clinic? That's right, but get back. Get back.

Maybe I can't help.

All right, hit the light.

Okay, we're coming out, but we've got a hostage.

What's going on?

Stay down!

We want safe paths. to the airport and a plane waiting there to take us

overseas.

No deal.

You stay clean. All I promise is your life.

Are you crazy? I'll kill her. Be my guest.

That's some beautiful cause your sister was fighting for.

You kill the people who hate you, and you kill the people who love you.

What the hell part of the world was she trying to save?

Sure.

And then we wind up killing them.

You know something?

Between us all, we could wipe out the world.

I hate it.

Coming up, it's pure comedy here on ITV3 at 5 to 12, father and son battle it

out for the best holiday location in home to Ruth. But before that, Sheila
