Original subtitles

You cannot arrest me. I proclaim diplomatic immunity.

He's the man. Put him away. This is Tully Savalas. Here are some scenes from

next episode of Kojak.

Molest. Now, what do you mean, molest?

I have no right to hold him. He's hurt a lot of kids. He's going to hurt a lot

more. I already fought it, and I lost.

I am being watched. I cannot function.

There's a tale on Detro.

Disposable. What we're working on can save literally thousands of lives.

All I'm concerned with right now is a little boy.

You're a nice boy.

Next on Kojak.

Deuces.

I have one.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, Arthur.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

That's for

you.

You take that. All right.

One for him and one for everybody. We're going to have a party. Hey!

Hey! Hey, kid!

Come on! Come on! Free ice cream! Come on!

Listen,

you do me a favor.

I lose a puppy dog over there. Would you help me look for it, huh?

You want to do it?

As good as you look like Charlie Chaplin. Come on.

That's a pretty good -looking head, huh?

I think it was somewhere around there.

He's the man.

He's the one.

Put him away.

Give me the radio.

This is it.

Yeah, I'm moving across now to keep them in sight.

Stavros, he's headed toward Canal Street.

And, uh, if we go this way... I'll cover it from there.

Everybody, get down there. Pull it together.

Somebody, huh?

I think that I...

I changed my mind, huh?

I think that I can find the dog.

Help me!

The bus! Take him!

I'm not sure.

Mrs. Chambers, if he's in there, we've got to get him off the streets.

I'm frightened.

All right.

You scared?

No.

Is he okay?

Yeah.

Okay, now the man who bought you the ice cream cart and who wanted you to go

look for his puppy, is he in there?

He found him.

How'd it go?

Oh, yes, sir, Captain. We got three positives.

All right, all right. Get the menagerie to quiet down.

Shut up.

Detro. Carl Detro. And that is all that I'm going to say.

We know all that, Mr. Detrow.

Where do you work?

Lieutenant, why am I here?

Well, you are here because you have no wallet, no driver's license, no

identification card, and you're walking a child away from its mother. And that's

why you're here, Mr. Detrow. I was not walking a child away. Children in

laugh better than children in Europe.

I like to talk to children.

No, not talk.

Molest. Do you understand, Mr. Detrow? Of course you do.

Mr. Detrow, you were positively identified as the man who molested two

children in that park on two separate occasions. You're in deep trouble, Mr.

Detrow. Do you understand that?

Now, what do you mean, molest?

Theo, don't do that.

Read him his rights again in two languages.

Any judgment on the line?

What did you say? A little league or something?

Yeah, we're feeling pretty good about catching this guy, Lieutenant.

Oh, really? What guy?

Oh, yes.

Well, I'll tell you how I feel about that.

I think that you rejects from civilian life did a great job.

It was nothing, right? Yes, what do you mean, nothing? Are you kidding?

You put a lot of hours, a lot of evidence in this case.

And even when there was nothing but blind alleys, did you say, why don't we

stop? No.

But what's the big deal?

Hey, Lieutenant.

The captain wants to see you right away.

In his office? No, he took that call from me and ran. Said for you to meet

across the street from the U .N. and fast.

Frank, I asked you here to explain it to you. You didn't ask me here, you

summoned me here.

You said the New York head of your division insisted.

Now what kind of asking is that?

Here he comes now.

He'll tear your head off when he hears this and you'll deserve it.

Frank, what's the rush? I could have had an hour off. Lieutenant Kojak, Federal

Agent Donald Mosher.

Hi, Donald. How are you? Lieutenant.

The rush is I wanted you to hear it firsthand from Federal Agent Mosher and

from me. Because if you heard it from me, you wouldn't believe it. I don't

believe it myself.

So why should you believe it? Lieutenant Kojak, the captain is overreacting.

I requested this little chat in the interest of maintaining a rapport

our two officers.

Chat my foot.

You are ordering me to give up Detrim.

I'm simply stating our office has jurisdiction.

Over what?

Lieutenant, he's a foreign embassy employee. You have no right to hold him.

He's got diplomatic immunity.

You know something?

He got the mention of that.

Maybe he was trying to avoid embarrassment.

Worrying about his job, the publicity.

Or maybe he's worried because three children identified him and two mothers.

Whatever he's suspected of, our office can handle it. Oh?

How?

As effectively as possible.

Oh, Frank!

Would you tell me what that means? As effectively as possible?

Captain, please follow our instructions.

There are to be no police photos.

If you printed them, we want everything.

There's to be no publicity.

Frank, this is double talk. I mean, we caught them, not the feds.

Gentlemen. We're all on the same side.

Good. Then call his embassy.

Tell them what he is.

Have him sent out of here as an undesirable now.

I said our office will handle the matter.

All this pressure for a foreign embassy chauffeur, why?

I'm sorry, I... That's on a need -to -know basis.

And we don't have a need -to -know?

Captain, you are to accomplish his release as carefully as possible.

You let him go out the door, just like any other unimportant traffic you get.

You must get him out without notice.

Yeah, I know why you called us in. To make a point. The building's over there

very impressive, you know.

And he's under diplomatic immunity, so we can't touch him.

You should have called your meeting in a sewer.

You would have made your point a lot better.

A call, Captain?

I don't have a dime.

Let him go?

That's a bad joke, Lieutenant.

I told you, he has diplomatic immunity.

He also has a sick mind. He's hurt a lot of kids, and he's going to hurt a lot

more. Crocker, I already fought it, and I lost.

There's nothing we can do. We can break his legs and lock him in a cage.

Just get his papers together, put them on my desk.

You want to let him go?

You let him go.

Did they tell you what is our agreement?

They told me to let you go.

That is because they have no choice.

But you have.

Excuse me. No, no, no, not yet.

Now you have no right to keep me.

I have a right to talk to you.

Talk is words.

And words are nothing.

What are children?

You have no right to attack somebody.

Listen to me.

I'm a cop in a city of ten million people.

And I've dealt with your kind before. Okay, sometimes you come younger.

Sometimes you come older. Rich, poor, makes no difference.

You only have one problem.

You hurt children.

No, you cannot keep me here.

The federal agent says that you cannot. What do you want from me? Do you want to

kill me? Kill me. You have gone.

Kill me. I will try to escape. Kill me, Grant.

I want you to ask us to help you.

Sign yourself into a hospital. Maybe you can know why what makes you do these

things. You don't know why. They don't know why.

But at least you can try.

You do not speak to me the way you did before.

Why?

Because you're dangerous.

You hurt people.

I mean, I don't know why.

You don't know why.

But when I see what it does to the kids, I don't care what. I just gotta stop

you. And I've got to let you go, and I don't want to let you go, Ditto.

Because I know you're going to go out there, and you're going to do it again,

and you're going to do it again, until you're stopped by a doctor trying to

understand, or a prison cell, or a cop's bullet in your brain.

I don't want to come to that.

I want it to stop here.

I want it to stop now, before someone dies.

Do you want to excuse me?

Where are you going?

You didn't say I couldn't get some air.

What, are you looking for trouble?

I'll let you know if I find him.

when you get to become commissioner.

You got a call.

They're on the captain's desk.

All of them? All the prints, the mug shots, all but this.

It's a reply to a telly I sent around.

Frank.

Carl Ditro.

Child molestation.

Washington, D .C., two years ago.

As soon as he became involved, the case was dropped.

Mistaken identity.

So?

You seem to have forgotten that I have a job.

I am a chauffeur.

You seem upset.

Well, I'm quite tired of all this.

Arrangements have been made.

When can you get him there?

He will want to see the film.

He is not a fool.

It must be done carefully.

We both want to see the film, Detro.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

What time?

Five. I'm working tonight.

It can be no later.

Where? I will know from him later.

I'll pick you up before, at the cafe.

Yes. Hello. I'm being watched. I cannot function.

Could it be police?

No. I am positive.

Have you seen him before?

Yes, I have.

Yes, he is.

He is Caucasian, but he is one of theirs.

I have seen him at the embassy.

All right, relax.

Go to the chess club.

Give me an hour to set it up.

There's a tail on Detro.

Dispose of him.

I'll take care of it.

How long has he been here?

About an hour.

So what do you think?

I don't think we ought to be here.

Okay, okay.

I know I shouldn't have been telling him. It's just that he's some bum with

diplomatic immunity.

Huh.

Make any stops where children congregate? Well, he stopped off at a

psychiatrist.

Here's the address.

Then he gets on a bus and goes down to the waterfront.

Makes a meet with an oriental tourist. They try to hide the fact that they were

talking. Pick up?

Don't ask me.

I'm not supposed to be telling him. He's special, right?

Right.

Then he gets on a bus, comes down here, and I got to hear from my lieutenant

that we shouldn't even be here.

What a full report.

Every move he makes, every place he goes, everyone he sees.

I'll check out the psychiatrist.

Uh -oh.

He's leaving.

All right, you tell him, but be careful.

Of him?

Hey, you know why we got here?

Yeah, I think we have a fruitcake.

Well, all of a sudden, I don't know why we got here. Not only that, I don't even

know what it means. So, be careful.

Go ahead.

I'm not insensitive. I'm not immune.

I listen to sick, often dangerous patients daily. I struggle with the

hourly. What do I do with what they tell me? Have them committed?

For what?

How much of it is fantasy?

All right.

Ask me something I can do, but only that.

Okay. Help me to understand.

Why don't you sit down?

Would you like a drink? No.

A child molester, like an alcoholic or a gambler, is driven by a compulsion.

Each has his own.

Often we can help them, but if he is to avoid any trouble, he must stay out of

two areas. He is one, the target of his compulsion, in this case children, and

two, conditions that tend to aggravate his need for conduct.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

Is he all right, huh? Oh, sure, sure. Here,

you're a good boy. Buy some candy.

No, no, no.

I got

a

panic call. You wanted to see me. What's it all about? Well, forgive me, Federal

Agent Mosher. It was nothing.

That bum Detro added to his other talents. He set up my detective.

And a goon from your department tried to hit him.

How's your man?

Angry. Yours is in surgery.

Go, Jack.

We didn't know he was your officer.

You lied to us, baby.

You let Detro walk the streets.

And maybe you're lying now.

I said we would keep him within our jurisdiction. You were ordered to drop

matter. You didn't. Hey, federal agent.

Double talk.

My men didn't try to kill one of your men.

Okay. That was unfortunate.

But we've got everything under control now, I assure you. Do you?

Do you have Detro's stress under control?

I mean, are you changing his working conditions?

Are you counseling him and dealing with women?

Do you even know or care that pressure, anxiety, concern brings on these

compulsions? What the hell are you talking about?

Sound profound?

I cheated. Yeah, I was briefed by his psychiatrist.

Now, how's that grab you, baby?

Kojak.

Drop it.

Oh, I can't.

You know, I got a compulsion of my own.

You live with his, you live with mine.

It's called need to know.

I needed to know why a very sick man who was arrested for child molestation in

Washington, D .C., he's let off the hook there and he's now playing his trade in

New York City.

Now either you deliver him quietly or I blow the lid.

Okay. I'll talk to my boss and I'll get back to you.

And fast.

Okay. You want to get busted too? Good.

See if you can pick up on federal agent Moshe. Look, we're going down.

And if we're going down, we'll go down with the fight. Go ahead. Right,

Lieutenant.

I thought that it was one of theirs.

I told you that they'd want that information also.

Okay, Tetro.

Patience is running out.

Time is running out. My ability to hold off the police is running out.

Your new identity is all set. Now you just deliver and get the hell out of my

life. When?

I have the film.

When do I see it?

When do I see the money?

You'll be at Battery Park at 5 o 'clock.

I'll show you where the money is then.

After I see the film.

So.

I just got a call from Koja.

He'll blow the whole thing if we don't cool.

I know.

McNeil was here.

Do you have time to sit in?

I'm not meeting Detro till 5 o 'clock.

Yeah, look, be careful with that.

I'm still not sure Detro isn't pulling something cute.

Hey, George.

You got a playground in that park.

Which should I worry about first?

The film or the kids?

Come back for your wine. I saved it for you.

Oh, thank you very much. That's very kind of you. Thank you.

No, no, no, no.

Yes? Traffic in the city gets worse every day. I will be meeting him in

Park. All right.

Be calm.

You're not going to kill him.

I am.

Hi, mister.

Now, please, please, now go away, little boy, please.

I am a very important person.

You know that?

And I have very smart brains.

I should have an important position.

But people who are not as smart as I am keep me as a chauffeur.

You're a nice boy.

Not in South Rizzo.

Give me the lieutenant, quick.

Lieutenant.

Stavros.

Yes, Stavros.

Lieutenant.

Yeah, he came back to the cafe.

He went inside and never came out. I went over there and checked it out. I

checked the men's room, the back alley.

He could have gone through the back alley.

Stavros, what's going on?

My son.

He's about six years old. Have you seen him?

Stavros.

Lieutenant, you better get over here fast.

I don't know what to do.

No, not that one.

My wife's still at work.

She works for an insurance company.

They like her. She's a good worker.

Should I call her?

Should I get hysterical?

Lieutenant, you know about these things, don't you? Please.

Yeah.

That's the man who bumped into Peter.

That's him.

That's the one.

I think you better call your wife right away.

Oh, my God.

It's only a precaution. Maybe your wife knows where your child plays.

No, she doesn't.

We've only taken this place over a few months ago.

That's why she has to work.

I keep him here when there isn't any school.

Can't afford a nursery school.

We're trying to save our money.

New business. You know, Lieutenant.

Please find him.

We'll find him.

I got us a meeting with Moshe's boss.

What does it look like here?

Father just identified this photo.

Well, let's go.

I suppose they don't cooperate.

Theo, you know they do have jurisdiction over it. You know what I'm asking.

Well, get some of the men to follow us.

The feds have contact with Detrow. If they don't go along, tail them after the

meeting. I already did.

I got Saperstein on motion.

If you question, the order was mine.

Whatever is discussed sounds better in a more casual atmosphere, and hard as I

try, I can't seem to get my office to look relaxing.

Not with that enormous government seal hanging there and a flag in the corner

the room. You got this enormous government seal there with this big

You know what I got behind my desk?

I got a dirty window and dirty little pigeons.

They go further outside, dirtier things are happening.

Now, where's Stetro?

Lieutenant is very graphic. He's also very right.

And you're the last people in the world we should have to tell that to. Captain,

it should be obvious by now we're on a very important mission.

What we're working on can save literally thousands of lives within the next few

weeks. Do me a favor.

Don't wave the flag at me, okay?

All I'm concerned with right now is a little boy, six years old, brown hair,

brown eyes, parents love him.

Produce detro.

Captain, if I must pull rank, I shall.

You were ordered to keep your people away from a foreign embassy employee

whom you have no jurisdiction under any circumstances, regardless of what you

suspect.

Do it.

Tea over.

Lieutenant.

We just found a little boy.

Where? The alley by the cafe.

He's pretty scared. I didn't want to touch him.

All right.

Pretty brave kid to come up here all alone.

I guess it's safer than a lot of places I know in New York.

You know, it's even tougher.

You're pretty scared.

When I get scared, look what I do.

Oh.

Lieutenant Kojak, one of your men wants you to call him at this number.

All right, thanks.

Well,

what now?

Well, uh, certainly if you can establish beyond doubt that Detro did this.

Ryan, you're a moron.

Yeah, Kojak.

Yeah, I tailed Mosher to the battery park.

Detro was with him, too.

I figured you ought to know.

Beautiful baby.

What was it?

Another case.

Yes? Do you have some money?

Over there.

Are you

sure

that it is safe here?

Nobody gives a damn about you here.

Just give me the film and that'll be it.

May I have the money?

Must I count it?

I don't care what you do.

You're on your own now.

Must you leave him here?

Just a tired businessman relaxing.

Why not?

Later I will come back and dispose of him over there.

I'm sure that's what you want.

I'm sure.

You wouldn't trick me the way you tricked him.

The money, please.

Not a bad day's work for a chauffeur.

Isn't it?

But wait, I have another job.

Not for me. I just did you a favor.

My people expect more information.

They can get it from someone else. I am not going to return to the embassy.

Left -hand pocket.

Take it easy, baby.

Local police are on the job.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

You went into a crowd. I just couldn't get him.

I used new identity.

I arranged for him.

Boris Vargovsky.

He's got a passport.

Brazilian.

Get out an alarm.

Yes, sir.

This man's a doctor.

Oh, Jack.

Hey, Detro.

I heard...

Did that girl hurt a child?

Did that girl hurt a child?

No, no.

The kid was found safe at a friend's house.

Good.

South below 21st Street. We have a chase.

Suspect has been murdered with battery plug.

Spotted attempting to cover.

New York Registration.

Auto proceeding south on 2nd Avenue and 14th Street.

Displacement. Man armed with a revolver. Driver of vehicle believed to be a

hostage. All units not involved in the chase stay off the air.

Do not arrest me.

I am a member of the international community. I proclaim diplomatic

Yeah, we figured you'd get around to that.

I did not kill Moshe. I did not fire the shot.

Now, you cannot apprehend me. I am protected under international law.

Detro, we found the boy.

I am a special category visitor.

I proclaim diplomatic immunity.

Now, you cannot arrest me.

What should they know?

They know it all.

I give myself up to you.

Yeah, we'd love to keep you, but your friends already made the trip downtown.

I'm sick.

They know that I'm sick.

You must send me to the hospital.

Your people will treat me there.

You're right. That's our way.

You know what they will do to me. Please don't let them take me. Please, don't

let them take me.

You know what they will do to me.

You cannot let them do that to me.

What do I do now?

Hey, I told you so.

Lieutenant.

How's the kid?

All right, I guess.

Who else?

I brought this present for him. Oh, Peter, come here. The lieutenant brought

present for you.

You got the man, didn't you?

Yep.

Now, they're sending him back to his own country. What will they do to him?

Well, they'll do more to him than we would have done if he stayed here.

I see all kinds of people at these tables.

To hear what people say and do to each other.

You must be much worse than your work. How do you stand it?

Well, I look at it this way.

You meet some of the bad people, and you meet some of the good people.

Hi.

Here,

you give it to him.

Oh, no, no, no.

Little boys should not take presents from strangers, you understand?

There.

Now you must have a glass of wine with me.

As a gift. Like your gift. Come on, you must.

No, I'm not going to let you get off that easy, okay? I'll be back one night

with the lady. Okay.
