(Music)

Watch yourself, Chris.

Didn't know I was speeding, officer.

Name is Forbes, United Repossessors.

Just picked up this boat about six blocks back.

We'll start by taking a look at your driver's license.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Here it is.

City permit and bank papers.

Some problem, officers?

I work with Forbes here. We're just picking one up at the bank.

No trouble. Just a routine check.

We just want to be sure that everything's on the up and up.

Take just a minute to check.

Chris, phone in.

See if we have a line on United Repossessors.

Hey, uh, look, officer.

It's late and we're kind of rushed.

Couldn't you just, uh, look at the papers there?

I mean, calling in is not gonna take a while.

Call in, Chris.

If you think we're gonna wait around here while you make phone calls, you're crazy.

I think I'll back up at this...

Barney? Come on, Barney, don't move.

Don't move, don't move. Lie down.

I'll get an ambulance.

You'll be okay.

Barney? You'll be okay, Barney.

Who is it?

Barney Sullivan.

A rookie by the name of Chris Marquez. Sullivan bought it.

All right, tell me more.

According to Marquez's report, they made a routine stop.

They thought they had a couple of repossessors.

They called in for verification. That's when it went down.

Where's Sullivan's partner?

He's talking with Stavros.

How's he holding up?

Well, he's only on the job six months. Not too bad.

You get old early on this job.

I know you like to go home,

but we're gonna have to talk to you, kid. You're our star witness, you understand?

Do you think you can recognize any of these bombs if you saw them again?

The black one, for sure. I don't know about the other one.

What about that car? It was blue.

I don't know what kind.

Maybe it was a Chevy.

Okay, kid. We'll talk about it later.

Stavros, take him back to the office. Get him away from this circus.

Yes, sir. Come on, Chris, let's go.

Crocker?

I want this block covered end to end and top to bottom. Go ahead.

You're quiet, Frank.

Bonnie and I worked on foot together.

He's a good cop, Theo.

Damn good cop.

We'll get him, Frank.

We'll get him.

Yeah. First, let's call Father O'Leary.

I want Sullivan's wife to get the word from him and not the 6 o'clock news.

I want those requisitions that I sent over to Central.

I want to copy those files on my desk by 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

The requisition sheet that I sent out, Sergeant.

They said they'd knocked, too.

Well, I see a few faces here we haven't seen for a while.

Now, look, I appreciate you fellas coming.

We got our nose bloody today.

And when one of us gets hurt, we all get hurt.

So we want this cop killer off the street or on it stretched.

Now, the suspects were posing as repossessors.

Phony papers, the whole smear.

They had a police radio in their car.

So when Marquez asked for a backup, they knew they were in trouble.

Now, I don't buy a cop getting shot for one grand theft auto.

I think we stumbled on a major operation.

So I want the streets flooded.

I want to know who's working the repossession angle.

I want to know who's putting in police radios.

I want to know who's stealing cars.

You guys have your people out there.

All right, now's the time to squeeze them.

Let's do it.

Lieutenant, this is Mr. Bernard.

Here's that Cadillac we put in stolen three hours ago.

Come here. Sit down, please. Close the door.

I'd like to help, Lieutenant, but I'm afraid I don't know the thing.

Well, suppose you tell me what you do know.

Well, I had lunch today at Julia's Restaurant.

That's at 46th and 2nd.

I parked the car at about 1.30.

When I came on, it was gone.

So I called the cab and went to report it to my insurance agent.

Why didn't you notify the police when you discovered the car was missing?

Well, I assumed the insurance company would take care of that.

They did, didn't they?

Yes, but then it was three hours after the car was stolen.

You cost us some valuable time, Mr. Bernard.

And that time cost a policeman his life.

I'm sorry, really.

Okay. If something comes up, we'll be talking to you again.

Crocker.

Close the door.

I want to know if there are any patterns developing on stolen wheels.

See how many we lost in the past month?

Were they recovered? Were they ad? Were they stripped?

Oh, like that guy. Got it, got it.

And check out Bernard's statement.

He's a lot more interested in his insurance than getting his car back.

Lieutenant, Chris has glommed over a couple hundred pictures.

He's not in any shape to look at anymore.

Okay, take him home. Tell him you'll pick him up in the morning.

He's going to be with us for a while.

I'll get the cab in the seat of that. Yes, sir.

It's late. Are you going home?

Is Patrolman Sullivan going home?

Sorry, Lieutenant. It's Crocker on the phone.

He says it's very important.

Very important, huh?

Better, huh? Yeah.

Here, Crocker.

Lieutenant, I just came from Julia's restaurant where Bernard had lunch yesterday.

See? The waiter remembered Bernard, said he was

unhappy because all they served to drink was wine.

So how long was he there?

He just picked on his salad and drank wine for three hours.

Three hours?

That's a long time to kill with just a salad and no booze.

Furthermore, the parking attendant said that the lot was half empty all day,

but Bernard parked on the street instead.

Okay, baby, come on home. We got work to do.

Now, give me a rundown on this character who waited

so patiently while his car was getting stolen, okay?

I want to know all we can get. The whole ball of wax.

What's up, Lieutenant?

Would you believe the only suspect I've got so far is a victim? I'm sorry.

I establish you'll keep on working with Chris

until he's looked at every picture we've got.

No way those cockroaches are amateurs.

What'd you find out?

This Bernard has no record, but he's up to his eyeballs in debt.

Just another busted citizen driving to the poorhouse in the limousine, right?

Only maybe the insurance is gonna save his skin.

What have you got?

On the stolen wheels, Lieutenant, in the past

month, 19 fall into the type of car Bernard owns.

Now, of those 19, none have been recovered.

And get this, 17 of them were ripped off within

a dozen blocks from where Bernard was taken.

Just the sort of pattern we pray for, right?

Okay, let's go pay Bernard a visit.

Treat this one real nice, boys. She's a beauty.

Well, if it isn't the Three Stooges.

Thought you didn't like coming down here.

I also don't like using the phone to talk about cops getting snuffed.

We didn't have any choice. It was either him or us.

Baker, you're a moron.

So let them pick you up.

Why do you suppose they invented attorneys?

Which would you sooner have, a grand larceny or a murder one?

You got any idea what kind of heat this is gonna generate?

Well, I'm gonna have to spread some grease to save

your bacon that's coming out of your pockets, not mine.

Hey, come on!

Come on, nothing!

You pick up the tab or I walk.

Without me, you're out in the cold swiping hubcaps.

I am the organization. I got the angles.

And what's it gonna be?

Okay, man, just whatever you say.

Now what do we do, Mr. Organization?

I had the same problem in Miami.

It's not something we can't solve.

It'll cost some bread.

But we'll get through it.

Now the first thing we do is move.

You think you can manage that without blowing away police headquarters?

Yes?

Mr. Benoit, there's a Lieutenant Kojak here to see you.

Send him in.

Thank you.

Have a seat, gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

Uh, did you forget something last night?

No.

I don't think I forgot anything.

I just think there's a lot you just haven't told us, Mr. Benoit.

Are you suggesting that I'm withholding information?

I've done my homework, Bernard.

You didn't go to lunch to eat a thing.

You went to kill time while your car was getting heisted out front.

That's why you parked in the street when there's free parking in the lot.

Spend three hours over a salad, baby.

You need the insurance money, don't you?

I don't think we have any more to talk about, Lieutenant.

If you have any more questions, you'll have to talk to my attorney.

You're a white collar that tried to make a fast buck.

Now, some of that fast, dirty money splashes on that white collar of yours.

And suddenly you're part of a cop killer.

Now, we're gonna make our case with or without you, Bernard.

You're going for the big one, too.

Help us, help yourself.

I have nothing more to say, Lieutenant.

Okay.

Can I tell you?

Good luck.

Hello, Roberts.

This is Bernard. Yeah, the police just left.

I'm getting a lot of pressure.

No, of course I haven't told them anything.

But, look, you promised me a money-back guarantee.

Where?

29th and 10th.

I could be there in about 30 minutes.

Of course I haven't.

All I want is a little money for my car.

I'm in a lot of trouble.

And probably a lawyer.

All right, good-bye.

16 of the stolen vehicles were financed at City National Trust.

None of those were recovered and all were to be scheduled for repossession.

What does that mean to you?

There's a connection in the bank.

Now, as I understand it, the victim cooperates

with these thieves in the theft of the car,

collects the insurance payoff, pays the bank

the balance owed, and pockets the remainder.

Simple, isn't it, Mr.

Stacowski? It's so simple, it's frightening.

And it's even more distressing to learn that

you suspect one of my employees is implicated.

Well, someone's lining up customers for these people, and that point's right here.

How can I help?

Show us who would handle the automotive accounts coming up for repossession.

Certainly.

The delinquent accounts pending repossession are handled

by those three ladies in the far right-hand corner.

And who are they?

Well, the oldest is Mrs. Goss.

She's been with us over ten years.

And to her right is Ms. Brenner.

We've had our problems with her.

Like what?

Well, being a bank of some reputation, we have a certain dress standard.

Ms. Brenner has had difficulty in adjusting to these standards.

Shall we just say she lacked adequate support?

Any other?

The woman with the long hair with her back towards is Ms. Stevens.

Very proficient young woman who's been with us about two years.

Well, Mr. Stacowski, I like the home addresses of those three ladies.

And as much history about them as you could supply.

Okay, Freddy, that's it.

Come on, Freddy.

Oh, come on, Sergeant. Are you behind this?

I thought you were a gentleman.

And honest, ma'am, I mean, what are you picking me up for?

Well, what are you doing here?

Why? Just because I happen to be driving the most beautiful car in the world?

Because, Freddy, motor vehicle informs us that

a car of a similar type has just been stolen.

The officer tells me that the motor numbers have been altered.

And there are signs of a brand-new paint job.

But, gentlemen, I have all the papers.

Here, here, look.

See? The registration, the form of sale, see?

You know Freddy the Defender, don't you, Captain?

Do I know Freddy?

The last time we met, they had just picked you up in a lavender Bentley.

Only it was a yellow Rolls with the Bentley grille slapped on.

The Rolls belonged to a doorman at the Cape Wake Hotel.

Oh, but that case was never proved, Captain.

Sure, because he didn't press charges.

A doorman with a Rolls?

That makes the papers.

The IRS comes around, you're locked out, Freddy.

Tell me, Freddy, what color was that turkey this morning?

You see, you open up your mouth and you say something and you show your ignorance.

Do you think, do you think that I would put a

masterpiece of mine out on the street in the morning

after it had just been painted?

No, I wouldn't.

Paint has to cure.

Do you know what I mean?

Look, I mean, you got the papers, don't you see?

You got this all wrong.

No, but I'll tell you what I do see.

I see several forged official documents.

They're criminal charges, Frederick.

Well, um, maybe, maybe, you know, maybe something really did happen, you know?

You see, I got the car in exchange for a gambling debt.

I hardly even knew the guy.

Frederick, you're caught.

Now, why don't you listen to me?

Now, you're the eyes and the ears of Hot Car Underworld.

Maybe we can make you a deal.

The Commissioner wants his car pinstriped?

We got a dead cop on our minds.

We don't need any jokes from you.

Now, just listen to me.

Who's mass-producing reworked vehicles and operating some large-scale setup?

If anybody knows about those things, Freddy, it's gotta be you.

Mass production?

What do I know about mass production?

We're talking about grand theft, auto, forged documents.

Okay, okay, okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.

There is somebody who is putting a lot of paint on a lot of cars.

Who, Freddy? Where?

I just know where. I haven't the faintest idea who.

Where, Freddy?

West End at about 68.

Call the Lieutenant. He should be at the bank.

Yeah, may I speak to Lieutenant Kojak, please?

He should be with one of your bank officers.

Oh, well, here comes Miss Stevens.

Just treat us like customers.

So, Mr. Anderson, if you'll just fill out an application,

I'm certain we can handle your loan.

Well, I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr.

Stacowski, but has Lieutenant Kojak been in?

I'm holding a call from his office.

Yeah, you say, at what line?

2-6, Lieutenant.

Thank you.

Lieutenant Kojak.

Stavros. It's so good of you to call.

Now, what can I do for you now that you've burned me?

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but this might make up for it.

The Captain and I have just persuaded Freddy the Funder to take us to a paint shop.

It's a new setup. We're at the operation yesterday.

Yeah, West End and 68th Street, Lieutenant.

Oh.

I'll meet you there.

Right.

Ten minutes.

Okay. Bye-bye.

How many men were you able to place back there, Sergeant?

We got four in the back and three up front, sir.

All right, very good, very good, Sergeant.

Good work. Here's the Lieutenant now.

I want you to address the left of the door, if you will.

Okay, Captain.

Fine.

Over the right of the door, Sergeant.

We've got the whole place surrounded.

Stavros had four men sent back in the bank

there, so I think we're all ready to do it.

Check everybody out here.

Take it, men.

Lieutenant?

That's one of them, Lieutenant.

This one here with the gun,

this is the one that was with the black man.

Well,

we wouldn't leave these bodies here

if they're going to lead us back to them so easily.

So what is this?

Some sort of peace offering to get us off the case? No way, Frank.

They're just burning their bridges.

You know who this is?

Sam Bernard.

I told you to call, Sam.

Yeah?

I told you to call.

This is Victoria Goss.

She's a 54-year-old widow with no children.

She has no arrest record, resides with her sister.

Went home there following work, according to armistice.

Skip it. Go to the next.

Number two, Mary Beth Bremer, 24 years old and single.

She was born and raised in Lews Town, Pennsylvania.

She modeled, worked as a cocktail waitress, legal secretary,

and did with the bank for seven months.

She's been arrested once for possession of marijuana.

She lives alone, usually... Excuse me.

Usually out of town on weekends.

Her average telephone bill is $16.

She has no steady mail companion we know of.

Went to a singles bar, then home alone last night.

Did she brush her teeth this morning?

That's not in Vines report, Lieutenant.

Why? Nothing to her.

30, Sheila Stevens, age 30.

Formerly married to a Brooklyn fireman.

Been divorced two years.

No arrest history.

She ate out last night with a girlfriend.

Went home alone.

And Rizzo will follow her again tonight when she leaves work.

That's very promising.

No, sir.

Well... Okay.

I want you and Chris to take those personal photos back to the bank

and tell the bank president,

thanks for his help, and then we're off on some other angle.

But we aren't, are we?

No, we're not.

We're going to fib, Stavros.

And we're going to keep on following those women every night.

Lieutenant... Not you.

I got another mission for you, Stavros.

I'm going to put you behind the wheel of a new Lincoln Continental.

Me? Yes.

Tell Mr. Stacowski I want to see him as soon as

possible and to be quiet about where he's going.

And, Stavros, thank you for the stroll.

Thank you.

Where are we going to eat? Wherever it is.

Just spring and fruit.

I sprung last time.

The last time I sprung fruit.

You have a jewel me for the Nick game.

Hi.

Detective Crocker, Manhattan South.

This is Detective Saperstein.

Hi.

What's this about, Officer?

I'd prefer to talk to you inside, Mr. Anslow.

Some problem in the neighborhood?

Well, it's about a car you reported stolen a month ago.

Please sit down, gentlemen.

We know the car wasn't stolen, Mr.

Anslow, at least not the way it was reported by you.

Now, let me say this before you answer.

We're conducting an investigation into three murders,

one of them a policeman.

We're not after you,

so the best thing for you to do is to tell the truth and be completely honest.

Three murders? My Lord.

You want to tell us about your car now, Mr.

Anslow? Well, uh, yes.

I got behind.

The car was about to be repossessed.

I was out of work.

I still am.

My wife had to take a job.

One night a man, Mr. Roberts, came by the house.

He said he'd learned that I was delinquent in my payments

and that he could save me any embarrassment and could make me a money-back guarantee.

How was that?

All I had to do was park the car at a designated spot in time,

leave it unlocked, wait three hours,

and then report it stolen.

How were you paid?

Well, just like Roberts promised.

Twenty-one days after I reported the car stolen,

my insurance company paid off.

I gave the bank what I owed them and kept the rest.

It was a way to avoid repossession,

bad credit, and all that.

At least it seemed so.

Have you ever seen this Roberts before or since?

No, never.

He was very well dressed, like an attorney.

We're gonna ask you to come downtown and make out an official statement.

We'd also like you to look at some photos for us.

We have an order for one Cadillac and two Porsches.

I think we have the caddy coming up later

this week if the guy misses one more payment.

What about moving those two cars to Philly?

The ones we finished last night.

You got drivers? I got them.

Okay, send them out tonight.

Oh, by the way,

the police just returned a personnel file to the bank.

The word is they're off in some other direction.

You know what I think?

I think they walked right past the only angle we ever had to worry about.

We want to rig the books, Mr. Stacowski.

May could you set it up so two auto loans

show delinquent on tomorrow morning's report?

You know, maybe if we're lucky,

our suspect will make another house call.

Then you're not through with us.

No.

That story was bait for the contact in your bank.

I see.

Well, yes.

I think I could alter some accounts, as you've suggested.

Oh, fine.

All right, these are the names and addresses we'd like to use.

The names are fictitious.

We'll be using a couple of men from our squad.

Make one car a Lincoln Continental,

the other a Caddy, a Mercedes.

Anything like that.

I'll get back to the bank and prepare the paperwork.

Thank you. Thank you.

Appreciate it.

You think it'll work, Frank?

I certainly hope so.

We don't have much else.

Ballistics just called with that.

The 38 recovered in the garage is the same one that killed Barney Sullivan.

What about the stiff that Chris recognized?

We made him out as a troublemaker from Florida.

Name's Baker.

But so far we can't pick up his trail in New York.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Now, all of you,

you have the description of the suspect Roberts that Crocker got from Mr. Anslow.

We're gonna keep following these three women from the bank,

hoping that one of them takes us to him or he comes to them.

I wanna know where they go, who they see.

I want it all.

Fine.

You set it up and decide who goes where.

Now, Stavros and Saperstein will play decoys and try to draw Roberts into the open.

If Roberts comes calling on them,

we'll put a tail on him when he leaves.

We want them all, so we'll wait.

Crocker and Chris will be in the van with me covering Stavros.

We'll have Rizzo and Tracy.

Where are you?

Yeah, all right.

You plan on Saperstein's pair.

Right.

Okay, we'll be set up and operating by nine tomorrow morning.

That's it.

Let's get it.

Let's get it, old man.

One here, go ahead.

Just a radio check, lieutenant.

Loud and clear, fatso.

Now, give us a shout if you get a call.

Ten-four.

Saperstein should be set by now.

Now, one to three.

Three here, go ahead, lieutenant.

Just a status check.

Inside and set up.

Rizzo and Tracy are out in the front and we're open for business.

All right, I got a knock on the door.

One to four.

Did you see anything?

Negative. No car or nothing.

We just saw the front door open, but we still haven't seen anyone.

All right, keep us advised.

We'll back you up when he leaves.

Ten-four.

We've got it possible.

Now, Stavros, get rid of your radio.

We've got a possible other unit stand by.

Four.

Bingo.

Welcome to Jackpot, Turkey.

Yeah.

Yeah, Mr.

Palmer? Yeah, sorry, pal.

Don't want any of that.

Mr. Palmer, I'm here to talk with you about your car.

Yeah, well, I already told you guys I didn't have the money.

Take the keys.

You're breaking the chops.

Take the car.

Forget it.

Mr. Palmer, I want to pay you for your car.

Are you from the bank?

No.

My name is Roberts.

Yeah, come in.

Let's just say that I'm very much aware of the predicament you found yourself in.

I believe you said it was brought about by your being laid off from work.

You know all that, huh?

Yes.

And I might add that the bank,

at least in my opinion,

hasn't been too cooperative in this matter.

Mr. Palmer, I'm prepared to offer you an alternative to having your car repossessed.

Yeah, how?

When your car is insured.

Insured? Up to the eyes.

Yeah, it's insured.

And simply follow my instructions.

Park your car when and where I tell you,

leaving the ignition key in the ashtray.

Wait for three hours. Report it stolen.

Just like that?

Just like that.

The insurance company will make a cash settlement within 21 days,

and I guarantee you the car will not be found.

I've checked.

The current market value of your car

is approximately $5,700.

The loan balance at the bank is $39.

52.

That will leave you with a cash balance of $1,748.

Yeah.

Well, I'll do it. I want to do it.

Mr. Palmer,

I can understand you're being nervous,

but think of it this way.

You're dealing here with a bank and an insurance company.

Ever heard of either one going broke?

They got all the money in the world, yeah.

Well, I'll give you a call tomorrow, Mr.

Palmer, and if you still want to take advantage of my offer,

just follow the instructions.

Okay.

If not,

don't hesitate to say so.

Well, I'll be waiting for your call, Mr. Roberts.

See you.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Bye.

Rizzo, you in position?

Roger, Lieutenant.

I'm just around the corner now.

Let me know when he rolls.

He's headed for his car.

I got his conversation on tape, Lieutenant.

Start a thing like a detective.

Okay, Rizzo,

he's coming at you.

Tell Rizzo to pull out.

We don't want to lose him.

Rizzo, get out in front of us.

We don't want him to notice the band.

There you go, Rizzo, nice and easy.

Now,

Mr. Roberts isn't going to suspect a thing.

Looks like he's going to head downtown.

Nice and easy, Crocker.

Nice and easy.

Fall back, Rizzo, and we'll take your place.

We don't want him to get suspicious.

10-4, Lieutenant.

Let's make another turn.

Where's he going?

Just keep on his tail, Crocker.

We'll find out soon enough.

Rizzo, Tracy, go with him.

Keep it loose and see where he goes.

I'll be right back.

Lieutenant, he's in the john,

and he hasn't come out yet.

All right, don't be bashful.

Go in and see if he's there.

Right.

He's gone.

Rizzo and Tracy just called in.

Now, Robert's car is still parked out there in the street.

No one's been there at Crocker.

Lieutenant, they've been out there for almost 24 hours now.

And that's where they're going to stay.

Next time, they won't let their man slip away.

Okay, Mr. Roberts, a.k.a. Brian LeBlanc, 19 arrests, grand larceny,

burglary, forgery,

assault with a deadly weapon.

Currently wanted for parole violations.

Only been on the street since last May.

Came back here from Dallas.

How'd you make them?

Had one of the pictures you took in large,

showed it around.

Gilmore on the auto squad had a beef with

this turkey two years ago and recognized him.

Any idea who Robert's playmates are?

Not yet, but we're working on it.

Okay, get me Stavros.

Stavros!

Yo!

Okay, Stavros,

I want you set up in your place curly by 2 o'clock.

After you get the call from Roberts, you call me.

Then we'll set up on a spot where you're gonna drop the car.

After you've dropped it, join up with Saperstein.

Right.

Think we got a case on Roberts?

Nothing the DA can do anything with.

I think Roberts is clever.

You know, hands off.

First acting as chairman of the board.

I want him.

I want him bad.

He's a part of Sullivan's murder, just like the trigger man.

What about the girls at the bank?

All the girls went home, watched TV last night.

Whoever she is, maybe she's smarter than I think.

There's limited contact to the phone.

It's tying up six men per shift.

Hey, I know.

Yeah,

Krakow Manhattan South.

Yeah, hold on.

Captain, excuse me, Lieutenant.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Lexington and 42nd at Tom's Cafe at four.

Got it.

Here comes Stubbs.

Stand by, the pigeon's on the roost.

Portable two to one.

I dropped the key in the ashtray before I got out of the car, Lieutenant.

Okay, join up with Saperstein.

Maybe he made us and split.

Relax.

Any time now, Rizzo,

get ready to roll.

That's him, Lieutenant.

Down there.

That's the black dude that shot Barney.

Here we go.

Rizzo, Tracy, move out.

Here we go again, Krakow.

Same way as last time, Rizzo.

He's heading downtown, Lieutenant.

Yeah.

Rizzo's moving up now.

Here he comes.

There he goes again.

Fall behind, Rizzo.

We'll take over.

Ten-four.

He's turning again.

Now where's he going?

I think he made us.

Nah.

I don't think so.

He's just being cautious.

He's got a reason not wanting to get caught.

He's turning around, Lieutenant.

Tell him we're going to take him.

Attention all units, he's spotted us.

Let's move in.

You guys okay? Yeah.

Yeah, we're okay.

Hey, somebody better whistle up a bucket brigade for our friend over there.

Damn it.

We got a dead cop killer.

But we still don't have Robbins.

All right, Chris,

you take my car and get over to the bank and help the guys on stakeout.

Get me on the portable if you need anything, okay?

If one of those women doesn't do it for us,

all right?

We've lost them.

Got her.

Should I follow you and back you up?

No, you wait there for Victoria Goss.

Yeah.

Lieutenant, here's his ID.

Not too badly burned.

Well, well, if it isn't Victoria Goss.

Affordable wonder units at the bank.

Lieutenant,

I'm the only one here.

The others have all left already.

I'm waiting on Victoria Goss.

Do you want her followed?

Hey, kid, she's our lady.

You win the daily double.

Now stick with her until we can reach her.

Ten-four.

Police.

You see a woman coming here in a fur coat a moment ago?

She went into sixth down the hall.

Can I use your phone? Yeah.

That new girl you introduced me to over at the New York National

already lined up two new customers.

I mean, she'll do fine.

As fine as me.

Brian, did you hear something?

No.

Who was it?

I hear scratching.

I hear it too.

Sounds like a cat.

Um... Meow, baby.
