- You sure this is right, Enorio?

- We'll make it up sometime, little brother.

[MUSIC]

- Dopers, we talked about phone calls.

I'm also supposed to tell you something about how to protect yourself against rape.

Now I know your mother has told you about don't go out alone,

don't talk to strangers, stay away from dark places.

This is all good advice.

But most cases are not caused by some guy dragging you off into some alley.

It's usually someone that you know, at least to say hello to.

Somebody you might let in if he comes to your door.

A married guy with kids, good old Charlie down the hall.

You ready for a real mind blower with all the hugs and the kisses?

Good old Uncle Charlie.

[HONKING]

No, that's fact, I'm telling you.

[HONKING]

Get out of the street.

[HONKING]

Get that stuff out of the street, will you please?

Hombre!

Hey, don't hombre me.

Don't open the truck door like that.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I don't understand your language.

Just move the truck.

Get the stuff out of the road.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Chico, I'll give you chico.

I don't speak the language.

Will you move those sandbags out of the truck?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

That's all.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Hey, hey, hey.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Let go of me.

You creeps know who I am.

Hey.

What's going on?

Get all your ripping off.

No.

Hey, hold it.

Police.

What's going on in here?

You girls get away from that window.

Into your seat.

Now.

No.

God father, Everett.

Is that a priest?

[SIREN]

- All right, all right, take it easy, girls.

Sister, come on.

Will you please keep them in here so I can organize this outside?

You girls get in here right now.

Come on, back inside, please.

Come on, just relax.

Now shut that door.

Now shut that gate and you get around here.

Hurry up now.

All of you.

Those of you who actually saw anything, move to this side.

(siren)

Captain, I was upstairs.

First things first, where's the priest?

He's in the ambulance.

I covered the streets, put barricades on both sides.

At least we have a reliable first cop on the scene.

All right, I got a number on the truck.

I already called it in.

Callahan Trucking.

Still no sign of the driver.

Maybe he was in on it.

And who are you guys?

Ed Griss, Aif Lofton Truck.

We received a hijacking report.

Now we're trying to figure out whose jurisdiction this is.

Hey, wait a minute, Lieutenant.

I'm already getting enough slack from these guys about

how could this happen to me with me on the premises.

Why not turn this over to them, are we?

All right, that's enough.

There's not going to be any jurisdictional hassle in this case.

Do you understand?

A priest has been hurt and he might die.

This is a very Catholic police department.

If anybody's under pressure, it's the captain over there.

The only way to ease that pressure is to catch these turkeys fast.

And that means we've got to cooperate. Capisce?

Sure.

So tell me, how did all this stuff take place

under your nose while you were on the premises?

What's your name?

Griss. Ed Griss.

Francis McNeil!

Hello, sister.

How is the father?

Well, your prayers won't hurt.

If he'd been dressed like a priest.

And you're not to blame the young man who's sent down here to speak.

Now, those are the witnesses.

It was hard to see from the window up there, but they might be of help.

Excuse me, sister.

We just made a deal with Safes and Locks.

We've got to check it out with their breasts first, though, Francis.

All right.

Still got a couple of hooks over there.

And it's captain to you.

Sister Agnes knew me when I was a knickers. You didn't.

Sister, the Safes and Loft are our hijacking experts.

I expect you to get our things back, Francis.

We've waited a long time to have them snatched like this.

Well, it all depends on what was taken, sister.

Do you have a list?

42 toilets, 46 sinks, 11 shower stalls, 2,000, 25 feet of one-inch copper piping.

I hope you have a good memory.

Oh, excellent.

Do you remember the color, the brand name,

and if there's a list of the serial numbers?

I don't know.

They were a gift from Mr. Callahan.

The trucker.

Lieutenant, you got a minute?

Excuse me, sister.

Look at these bags. They're handmade.

New Gaines, semi-dwarf, winter wheat seed.

Now, have I missed any wavin' fields of grain in midtown Manhattan?

Where do these things come from?

I don't know. Maybe forensic can come up with something.

No, we have our own expert on growing things. Thank you.

What's that sound?

All right, take it easy. You okay?

I'd know that sound anywhere.

That's the sound of a wild New York truck driver being thrown into a New York sewer.

Come on.

You okay?

You dummies, deft! You know what it's like down there?

Where's my truck?

You guys didn't catch nobody, huh?

When I get my hands on them-- You don't have to. All you have to do is stand

close to them, you kill 'em with the stink.

You wanna do me a favor, stand downwind.

I'm sorry.

Now, tell me the truth.

How many alligators down there?

Does he keep loading or not, Mr. Proctor?

Not for five grand. You gotta be out of your mind.

Say, how did you guys come to hit on me anyhow?

You got a driver, Chico.

Sold us some fertilizer that was a little warm from the parks department.

He said if we ever wanted to unload some merchandise--.

You don't wanna do business.

Okay. It's the same story Chico told me, too.

But he didn't say nothing about five grand. Nothing.

Now, look. It's obvious that you and your brother got guts. I like that.

Now, we got a very big heist coming up. We're gonna need drivers.

And you'll get a piece of the action this time.

But you gotta make me a price on this load here.

Say, uh, $1,500.

Hey, man, we don't want no career-being hijackers.

One job is all we need. And a fair price.

1,500. And what we got coming up, you could make five, six grand.

Each.

We'll make you a deal.

When we picked up the fertilizer, we saw this machine you got stashed in the back.

You mean that thing you towed a tractor? You want that?

Yeah. It's called a C-drill.

That and, uh, $2,500.

Ha! Make it two grand, you got a deal.

Okay. You pick that up later.

Uh, when will this other job come down?

I don't know. It depends on the weather. We've been waiting for weeks.

The weather? How come?

Hey, did I ask you what you want that dumb machine for?

Hey, hey, hey. Okay, okay.

You know, this wasn't some casual rip-off.

They knew about the truck and what time it was coming.

Gris seems to think that there must have

been somebody on the inside at the truckers.

Safe and Locks says it happens all the time.

Yeah, we're in the school. Now, would you put your clean thumb on that?

And maybe Sister Agnes can help us, you know, with

recent employees or somebody who's just been fired.

Wheat seed?

I want you to hit every stoolie, every fence, every outlet on the hijacker's guide.

All right? From cigarettes to sleeping bags around the clock.

Yes, wheat seed.

But I don't know anything about wheat seed.

Well, wheat is a plant from which you make bread, cookies.

You get cakes, you get bagels, all of which you know a great deal about.

The only thing we don't know is how this wheat seed bag

found itself on the streets of Manhattan full of sand.

-Sapperstein! -Yes, sir.

If the captain comes in, I want to see him.

So do a mess of reporters downstairs.

Yeah, well, the captain has already seen the reporters.

Oh. If the captain gets any phone calls, he's not in.

I'm a gardener, not a farmer.

Talk to reporters.

I've also talked to a bishop, two Monsignors,

a deputy chief named Kelly with questions from the mayor.

This city gets over a hundred million worth of hijackings a year.

Guys are grabbing trucks at every stoplight.

The big shippers have to run convoys through

the streets with helicopter riding shotguns.

Now, one Catholic school gets ripped off and we get all the heat.

Yeah, if the father dies, it's going to get worse.

I know.

He's got one of those multiple choice doctors.

Maybe he'll live, maybe he won't.

Meanwhile, all those Irish eyes are on us and they're not smiling.

Mac, what can I tell you? We'll try to get him fast.

I know, I know.

Any shape to this thing yet?

Two guys, maybe Puerto Rican. Looks like they had

some kind of inside information and very well planned.

I know, that's the problem. It's too elaborate.

The sandbags and everything, they should have just clobbered the driver.

I think they're amateurs.

No records, no prints.

They're going to be harder to nail than professionals.

Look, my kid went to that school.

And that place is a nice young fel... I wanted to do them a favor.

Sure I'd like to get my stuff back.

I mean, either way, it's a write-off.

So it got stolen.

So what? Why make such a big deal out of it?

Because I don't like doing you a favor.

Making a delivery and getting ripped off by some punk kids.

And because I got four of the biggest fences

in town hot for just a piece of my action.

I got a reputation, Callahan.

I steal, I don't get stolen from.

If this gets around, you know what's going to happen to me?

Alright, alright, alright, alright. So it's your problem, alright?

Yeah, well I got something else that's our problem.

It's going to start getting windy. Real windy.

That's what I heard on the radio.

Come on, we're not going to go through with this.

I mean, not with all this attention.

I've been following your schedules pretty close for three weeks now, Callahan.

You got some pretty great shipments coming in.

And we got the right weather.

So first thing in the morning, we do our thing.

Unless you want to settle what you owe us now for cash.

Angie, check the forecast for me.

[Music].

[Music]

[Music]

[Music].

[Music]

We did it, sister! We did it!

Two grand cash, right here.

And we got a C drill.

And more. The dude where we sold the stuff, he offered us another job.

Ten grand minimum.

More stealing?

Oh, we talked it over.

Not with me!

Don't have a long face, Lina.

Lina, we got saved with this one more job.

Adios Nueva York!

It's true, Lina. Everything is beautiful.

It isn't beautiful.

It won't ever be beautiful.

Because you killed a priest today.

What do you mean?

What priest?

The one who came over the fence.

The one you knocked down.

He's in the hospital. He's dying.

I did this?

No, Chuchito.

We all did it. All of us.

We never took before.

You could have waited to earn the money.

Waited? We got family to think about.

Old people, little kids.

You want to live like we do for another three years?

Do you?

Yes, because it's better than stealing.

[music]

[music]

[music].

Look, ding-dong, I don't care about Montauk Point or Heavy Chop.

Cape May.

What's the marine forecast anyway?

Boats.

Oh, terrific. I want the regular weather.

I don't care if you are a recording.

You'd think my boss was going to sail to Bermuda or something.

Speaking of that, if his name is Callahan, I'd like to talk to him.

He's in the yard.

Fantastic.

[foot steps]

Yeah?

I'm Lieutenant Kojak.

Um, you know, we got the Holy's Coast looking for your truck, Mr. Callahan.

Yeah, I got a lot of friends in the business.

A lot of truck drivers helped me look for it, too.

Hey, how's the father doing?

They are bred, and he's still alive.

Well, ain't that the limit.

They start knocking over church donations.

What can I do for you?

We need a list of everything on your truck.

Yeah, well, that's, uh, that's going to take a couple of days.

I have this health problem, you know?

Oh, yeah?

What about your tax records for the contributions of purchase orders?

Or something for the insurance company?

Insurance?

[Laughs]

Are you kidding?

You know, I've been hijacked so many times, I

can't get insurance for going around a city block.

Nah, this won't come out of my pocket.

Well, who'd you buy this stuff from?

Some guy in Staten Island.

He was going broke.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Uh...

Ferguson.

The guy who was doing the driving?

Yeah.

He, uh, he made the deal.

He'll have all the answers.

Hmm.

That's strange.

Ferguson said he didn't know a thing about it.

Yeah, well, he's probably all shook up, you know.

Getting jammed down that sewer.

Hey, Callahan, would you stop playing games?

What's going on around here? I mean, you're so edgy.

What are you so jumpy about?

And why is it so quiet around here?

[Sighs]

All right, I've got, I've got some problems.

I mean, I was hijacked 14 times last year.

I mean, the only way that I can get some insurance is keep

my trucks out of town until I've got enough for a convoy.

And that's the only way the cops will help me keep an eye on them.

I mean, my schedules are all loused up.

Business stinks.

But not so bad you can't donate a truckload of plumbing to Sister Agnes.

Mm-hmm.

Come on.

You explainin'?

Or do I have to go to the IRS to help you with this investigation?

Oh, no, no, no, no, please.

Not the IRS.

You know what kind of wheeling and dealing you

have to do to keep those monkeys off your back?

Uh...

Well, why don't you educate me, Callahan?

All right, Lieutenant. It's like this.

Uh, last Monday...

Yeah, Callahan's in hock up to his axles, including Uncle Sam.

You know, he takes a few thousand dollars,

he buys some discontinued equipment from a plumbing contractor through Ferguson,

figures to get a... a $50,000 deduction

from the government, and puts him straight with them.

Then there must be some kind of inflated bill of sale with a list of the stuff.

There was.

Belonged to stuff that was stolen, to be signed by Sister Agnes

upon receipt, put that sign on a truck wherever that is.

How much of a goner is this, Callahan?

Messy, messy. You know, guys in this kind of trouble do some pretty weird things.

I got Rizzo checking it out.

Excuse me, but I got the answer to this wheat thing.

New Gaines winter wheat was developed for the

particular climate of the Pacific Northwest, like Washington, Oregon, like that.

That's half an answer. The other half is, "What is it doing here?"

So Chico told me the kids are okay.

Well, they're bringing a load. I made a deal.

Now, how am I supposed to know?

That you're the guy they ripped the load off from, huh?

Couldn't you see it was Callahan's truck?

Sure, but how am I supposed to know that that's the truck that you were driving?

Come on, those kids are okay.

Besides, there ain't too many guys can throw Harry Ferguson down a manhole.

Hey, that's just the kind of joke I never want to hear.

Cool off, Harry, huh? Just cool off.

This deal is too big for that. We need all the drivers we can get.

Those kids will be here in a little bit to pick up that, uh, that seed thing anyway.

You watch now. When they see that you're in this

too, they'll make every effort to make it up to you.

Believe me.

All right, all right. So long as we go first thing in the morning.

You been outside? There's a 40-mile-an-hour wind starting to blow.

I'll get those kids to help me make some room in here.

I'll take that, uh, plumbing gear off your hands right now.

Oh, I saw that. Two minutes after it was in, boom, boom, right out the door.

- You sold it? - Sure.

- Proctor, I gotta get that stuff back. - What are you talking about?

That plumbing's got a long history to it.

If the cops should locate it and look too close,

they'll find out it was ripped off in Boston.

A guy got killed. That's why I sold it to

Callahan, so it would be buried in that school.

Now you tell me it's out there somewhere. And it's not just hot. It's lethal.

[♪♪♪]

[music]

[♪♪♪]

There you go.

How long has the sign been up?

My informant said he saw him put it up in a window a couple of hours ago.

Could be a coincidence.

Thought you got to the right part of town.

Damn it. Most of these stores, the merchandise

is so hot, you can't get fire insurance.

[wind blowing and street sounds]

Gotta be the fastest plumbing sale in history.

Cops, hurry up.

What else have your pigeons come up with?

I heard some rumors about a major heist coming down. A lot of drivers involved.

No idea where or when.

[knocking]

Come on, come on. We have a reservation.

Ha-ha. We're not open. I'm taking inventory.

Of course, you gentlemen are always welcome. I'm Pete.

Yeah, Pete. I heard about you, sir. Wouldn't

miss it for the world. A little plumbing.

Sorry to disappoint. Stopped having to show it up.

You're looking for hardware? I'll make you a deal on vacuum cleaners.

I always give a good discount.

For you guys, a discount on a discount.

Almost like free. You know what I mean?

In fact, call it free.

It's just that I'm grateful for your protection to us storekeepers. I like that.

Pete, you know I got my master's degree in toilet plumbing detection?

Yeah. Anybody else looks at those tracks, they can't tell what it was.

Me. The minute I spotted them, I knew those were tracks made by a John.

Hey, you guys can't go in there. That's for employees only.

[gunshot]

Hey, lieutenant!

Hey, hold it, police!

[gunshots]

Now get in your cars and go. Go!

[music]

Peter!

It's time to have a little fireside chat, sweetheart.

[music]

Listen, I know how it probably looks, lieutenant.

It looks like you conspired to murder three police officers.

That's what it looks like.

You're protecting a guy who shoots at us.

That's what I'm trying to say.

That guy was a robber. Who knew he was back there?

You know, I'm lucky you guys came around when you did.

Pete, you're beautiful.

Anybody got a paper?

Yeah, lieutenant, but somebody stole a sports.

Somebody stole a sports. You ready?

You know, an item in the news, Pete, right between the headlines.

"Priest May Die in School Hijacking."

That makes you part of another attempted murder. Did you know that?

I got some advice for you.

You want to help yourself?

You help yourself by helping us.

Now come inside and read all about it.

Hey, here's the sports.

I just stole only half a question.

I called the seed company.

They shipped an order of new gains out to Nugent's Garden Supply out of Long Island.

The owner's out sick.

I'll call them at home.

And you get them out of bed.

You got to be a sleuth, Stavros. A sleuth.

Lieutenant, I got the Port Authority police here.

They just found that hijacked Callahan truck parked in a lot at La Guardia.

Hey, lieutenant.

Yeah.

I don't know anything about this.

You got to believe me.

I don't ask a lot of questions about a deal.

That's way out of my league, believe me.

That's been your league ever since you made your first deal for a hot stereo.

You know something?

If it wasn't for you so-called middlemen, the cop shooters and

the priest-breeders would be out of business looking for a market.

So don't tell me you're just a little guy trying to make a buck.

You guys make crime waves, creep.

What kind of deal are we talking?

Oh.

All right.

You talk and we'll talk. It'll be like that.

Okay.

This guy calls me up sometimes, you know.

Today he's got a terrific buy on plumbing fixtures.

Comes down to the store, picks up my truck.

And when he comes back, it's loaded with great stuff.

I even get a bill of sale.

Knickerbocker Supply Company.

Which probably isn't even in the phone book.

Saperstein!

Yeah.

Look up the Knickerbocker Supply Company, see if it's real.

Right.

I don't know, Pete.

You forgot one little detail.

I guess you got to know the guy's name, huh?

I can feel myself dying.

Eddie Proctor.

Eddie Proctor.

The most prominent feds.

And who took this stuff out of your store?

I was hanging up the signs when Proctor calls me.

Says the deal is off.

He sends over this guy. I've never seen him before.

He starts loading the stuff on his truck.

And you show up.

That's it, I swear.

Lieutenant.

This Mr. Nugent ordered that seed special for a kiddie like.

He used to wash his windows for him.

Sold it to him wholesale.

Enorio Patias.

Hasn't seen him for a couple of weeks and has no address on him either.

I'm checking him out for a yellow sheet right now.

No sign of a gunfight.

And for what it's worth, Gris and I put out word

to look for a truck with bullet holes in the back.

You get the 52 file out for Fred Lee Pete.

If he doesn't find him in there, you's a sketch artist.

Whoever this guy is, he's been playing around

with Eddie Proctor and I want him identified.

You know the rumor about some big job coming down?

Proctor was one name Gris and I heard mentioned a couple of times.

Lieutenant, on this Enorio Patias, there's nothing on him.

Patias, Patias. Where have I heard that name before?

I haven't heard it, I've seen it.

Where are the reports from the schools?

On your desk where you were going to type them.

Patias, Patias, Patias.

She was an eyewitness, Lena Patias.

One of the girls I was lecturing.

Address?

I have the school address.

Oh.

Oh, well, crack, I hate to be a nitpicker.

But there's a reason for this meticulous police procedure.

So why don't we call the goods, Sister Agnes,

and maybe we'll come up with the address, okay?

I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

Sister, you said yourself that this student

could have known about that ship in advance.

It was no secret, Lieutenant. It was a miracle.

Every student knew about it.

Sister, there's only one Patias in the whole school.

Thirty-five years ago, when your captain was my

student, we had an easy time turning out decent people.

Today, it's a fight. But we still turn them out now and then.

And Lena Patias is one of them.

Sister, I hope you're right. But we still have to see her.

I don't want you scaring her. I want to go with you.

I like that girl, Lieutenant. The whole family.

There aren't many dreamers left in this city.

Thank you.

(music)

She's probably in there, in that garage.

Oh, Sister, we've had enough members of the

cloth engine. Would you wait for us here, Sister?

Thank you.

(door knocks)

Enorio?

Lena, we'd like to talk to you and your brothers.

They aren't here.

Well, we'd like to find that out for ourselves, please.

You have a warrant?

Lena!

You've added a few things since I've been here last.

Every dime they can spare goes into this place, or into the bank for farmland.

Out west, I believe.

Oh, really?

Washington, Oregon. You should have waited until you got there to buy it.

Or was it because of the discount?

How did you know?

Then it's true, Lena.

Lena, it's hard to wait until Grisstmas. I understand that.

Are you the one who tipped your brothers about the plumbing?

We thought they'd give you more for the school.

Or maybe some insurance.

We didn't mean to hurt anyone. And not Father Everett.

It was an accident.

The teacher was afraid for Enorio, and he's very strong.

Where are they, Lena?

My brothers.

I can't.

Don't make it worse, child.

Lena.

It's a warehouse.

11th Street, near 10th Avenue.

They went to get a seed drill.

Okay, I want you guys back here as soon as you dump this thing.

We got a lot of work to do before morning.

Morning?

Yeah, I told you we're waiting for weather.

Well, we got it.

Uh, look, Proctor, we decided to skip this job for you.

No, wait a minute. No, no, we made a deal.

Where else am I gonna get drivers on such short notice, huh?

Hey, Proctor!

You got a license. So do I.

Why don't you get rid of these creeps? I got other guys, too.

Hey, it's the guy we dumped in the manhole.

Why don't you shut up and split?

You wanna go back in that manhole?

No, wait a minute.

I said no.

(gunshots).

(gunshots).

(music).

(gunshots)

(gunshots)

(gunshots)

(gunshots)

(music))

(music)

(music)

So this is what the priest is fighting for his life over, huh?

A C drill.

Look, man, why don't you just bust me?

It was my idea. Nina and Chucho didn't even like it.

I know you're a modern-day Robin Hood, right?

Only he robbed from the rich.

Here you are knocking off a school that's flat on its back.

So I'm an idiot. I didn't know that.

But the others, they're clean.

No, no, no, no. Nobody's clean on this one.

There are 2 men in the hospital, your sister's

in jail, and you're headed to the same place.

And to top it all off, there's still things going on here.

Now, who tried to knock off your brother and why?

This may sound crazy, but...

it was that guy we dropped in the manhole.

Him and this guy Proctor, they were offering us a job, and we said no.

Ferguson?

And Proctor.

We've been at this all night, and all we've figured out

is that it was Ferguson at Pete's Discount Store, too.

So that's twice he's shot at cops.

Whatever job he's got cooking up, it's certainly driving him off his rocker.

Frank, the way he stuck his neck out getting back those

plumbing supplies, it's got to mean trouble for him someplace.

Rizzo. Yeah.

Contact the Federal Hijacking Information Center, okay?

Find out if there's been a plumbing heist

that rings a bell someplace else besides New York.

Now, Proctor's a top professional fence.

If this super heist wasn't coming down right away,

he'd want more professional drivers than that future farmer there.

Did anyone tell you about where you'd be working or how long the job would take?

Nobody knew when it was gonna happen or where.

Not when they first talked to me.

But then Proctor said you had to do it tomorrow morning.

Yeah. He said the weather was right.

Yeah, that was real important to him, the weather.

Weather.

Someone else was interested in the weather.

Crocker! - Yo!

Bring in Callahan.

(♪♪♪).

(♪♪♪).

(♪♪♪)

(♪♪♪).

(♪♪♪).

Wait a minute. I got a check on you.

Look, you breathe in that thing and you're dead.

All right, you, driver, pull out.

(music)

How the hell would I know where Ferguson is?

Come on, man, it's 5 o'clock in the morning.

He's probably home in his sack if he's any luckier than I am.

I got a convoy coming in this morning.

What kind of a convoy, Callahan?

A couple of trucks from Virginia.

I mean, some cigarettes and some furniture and a few things.

And tell me about this windy weather, baby.

You know, police helicopters, they don't fly on days like this.

They're not around buildings.

And you're bringing your whole convoy in without aerial protection.

And someone has determined there's Ferguson or Proctor.

They're not gonna worry about a few security guards.

Because Ferguson, he's a fruitcake. He shoots at cops.

And if he kills anybody,

you're in for murder too. What can I tell you?

Look, uh...

I'm not much of a crook.

And I'm no murderer at all.

I'm not looking for any sympathy, but I've been damn near hijacked out of business.

I mean, I owe the world.

Even my trucks are in hockup to their fan belts.

All right, about a month ago, Ferguson shows up.

He says he's got connections.

Says if I play his game, I won't get hit again.

I guess Proctor is his boss.

So the plan is to hijack the whole convoy.

Okay, Frank. When and where? Tell me.

He didn't tell me.

And I didn't want to know.

I just had to be sure the trucks were across the

George Washington by quarter to five this morning.

And they are.

Get a map of the city and call Griss.

(music)

We're going across to the Bronx, down the major dig into the Triborough Bridge.

You... read this on the radio and don't be cute.

All right, this is truck one leader. Close it up.

All right, you, driver.

I want you to slow down and stop at the next street. You understand?

I want your front wheels on the crosswalk.

Right here.

Don't touch the radio.

Read this.

Read it in the mic.

Okay, this is truck one leader.

We just had a call from the security office.

We'll have to stay real close.

Take a different route since we can't get air cover.

Just follow me.

All right, let's go to the Bronx.

They came across to George Washington,

down Amsterdam, across 125th, 2nd Avenue.

And the trucks start to peel off at the upper 50s

to the stores on 5th Avenue.

Now, two trucks head for the garment center.

One of them has the furs.

Now, the cigarettes end up downtown.

No. I figure they hit 'em somewhere up here, where they're still all together.

We got a report on 125th.

It's clear all across town.

There's a convoy on 10th, but it isn't ours.

And there's nothing on 2nd Avenue right now either.

Then they've already hit it, taken it off the avenues.

Yeah, but how?

Trucks have radio communications, so even if they took one truck...

Well, suppose that one truck is the lead truck.

Maybe the rest play follow the leader or ring Olivia or something.

You can't put a diesel in your pocket.

Besides, they jam up most side streets.

Unless they stayed uptown above 125th Street.

Stavros, check our morningside park and make it quick.

Yes, sir.

[Trucks running]

[ENGINE REVVING]

[music and motors revving].

[music]

Right. Thanks.

There's nothing rumbling on the east side or in the park anywhere.

They must have taken them off the streets.

Take a pretty big warehouse.

Truck stop, maybe.

Some place where they wouldn't stand out.

That's it.

Callahan's company is just above the Triborough Bridge, right?

That's the one perfect spot where they wouldn't be noticed.

Stavros, call Griss right away.

Tell him to get us the Safe and Locks boys.

Out of bed.

Yes, sir.

You're the one to be in on this.

I'll be in my office.

Here you are, Eddie.

Take your pick and let's talk money.

Let's talk escape. How do I get out of here with this stuff?

I'll show you.

New plates, new markings.

I'll even loan you a couple of boys to drive.

In the next half hour, the streets will be so crowded

with rigs, you'll look like another grain of sand.

[music]

I count seven, plus Ferguson and Proctor.

There's a lot of shotguns down here, but most of them are redecorating trucks.

How about the gates?

There's one in front, and the rear is blocked by a truck.

Stand by.

This is Captain McNeil speaking.

I want the safe and aloft men on the back gate.

I want the uniformed men on the fences and the shed roofs.

We'll take the front gate.

Griss, you're on point.

So when you're all set, let us know.

Move out now.

We could use a couple of men over there.

Well, do it. Take Crocker and Tracy.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, I'm not greedy.

I'll just take this load here.

Just?

Hey, you're looking at over half a million.

Maybe in a rack at Lord and Taylor's, but not here.

Not hot.

I can't see you, Captain, but the rest of the men are in position.

All right.

Now, I'm set.

Theo, the guy at the gate has his back to you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is Captain McNeil.

You are surrounded by New York police.

Do not move.

Do not think.

I repeat, you are completely surrounded.

There are police at all escape routes.

Every exit is blocked.

Remain stationary.

You are covered.

All members of the force, zero in on the center of the yard.

You will put your hands behind your heads and walk slowly to the front gate.

Why don't you run, Ferguson?

I am.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[FOOTSTEPS]

[GUNSHOT]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GUNSHOTS]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[GROANS]

All right, I'll get him.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Captain, there's a call for you at Central.

All right.

All right, you guys, just keep coming.

Slow and easy, pal.

McNeil.

Hey, Lieutenant, I found that truck with all the bullet holes in the back.

It's full of toilets.

I understand.

Uh-huh, right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You tell Safe and Locks not to get too greedy, OK?

Because until they find out where that heist came from--

It was Boston, Kojak, Boston.

I think Ferguson killed the guy there.

Don't forget who told you, huh?

Boston's got a murder charge.

They can have him.

Best we can do is attempt it.

Yeah.

He also murdered something else, that Patio Dream plantation out west.

Meek.

You're a beautiful person.

Mr. Ragner just reported that Father Everett is conscious.

He's probably giving him hell already about how he

should have been wearing a cassock and a collar.

Just a couple hours ago, she was on her knees lighting candles for him.

Yeah, well, don't be surprised if she goes to bed for those young farmers.

She's not one to give up on people easy, you know.

In that case, I'm glad I'm not the prosecutor.
