00:01:32,694 --> 00:01:35,500
Hey, Lieutenant, they just made the pickup.

13
00:01:35,501 --> 00:01:36,376
It's Nitschke.

14
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:39,800
This has got to be it.

15
00:01:39,801 --> 00:01:42,500
He's driving a 1973 Mercedes, dark blue.

16
00:01:42,501 --> 00:01:44,900
Nice and plain, 860 VLA.

17
00:01:44,901 --> 00:01:46,500
OK, you stick with him.

18
00:01:46,501 --> 00:01:47,906
But don't crowd him.

19
00:01:48,201 --> 00:01:49,200
And don't take offense.

20
00:01:49,201 --> 00:01:51,500
Let your backup guy
have him if he smells you.

21
00:01:51,501 --> 00:01:53,940
You were here at the Central
Park Towers, and if I'm right--

22
00:01:53,941 --> 00:01:55,538
We'll see you in five minutes.

23
00:01:56,001 --> 00:01:58,652
But Crocker, don't blow it.

24
00:01:58,941 --> 00:02:00,771
This is the biggie, baby.

25
00:02:00,941 --> 00:02:02,100

00:02:02,101 --> 00:02:03,000

If I'm right, Nitschke's
drop is right here.

30
00:02:27,301 --> 00:02:30,000
And ever since he got ripped
off on that big Turkish delivery

31
00:02:30,001 --> 00:02:34,000
last month, Steiner
doesn't trust his own mama.

32
00:02:34,001 --> 00:02:36,000
Lieutenant, we're holding close.

33
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:37,500
He tests the stuff himself.

34
00:02:37,501 --> 00:02:39,500
You know, this is one big mistake.

35
00:02:39,675 --> 00:02:41,640
One of the biggest dealers in Manhattan.

36
00:02:42,001 --> 00:02:44,000
And we haven't been able to
hang a parking ticket on him.

37
00:02:44,001 --> 00:02:45,327
Are you ready?

38
00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:47,500
Now we're going to bust
him, and we're going to bust

39
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,500
him big, and we're going
to make it stick this time.

40
00:02:49,501 --> 00:02:50,500
He just turned into Park.

41
00:02:50,501 --> 00:02:52,000
Looks like your nose is right.

42
00:02:52,001 --> 00:02:55,500
Oh, he loves you, dear.

43
00:02:55,501 --> 00:02:57,000
He is, how sweet it is.

44
00:03:02,222 --> 00:03:04,189
Easy, easy.

45
00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:07,598

Yes.

54
00:04:19,001 --> 00:04:21,293
OK, you cover the lobby here.

55
00:04:21,501 --> 00:04:25,207
You take the service area, make sure
the guard dog doesn't talk to anybody.

00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:28,069
Oh, Stanley Nitschke.

57
00:04:28,501 --> 00:04:30,019
All right, hold him.

58
00:04:31,001 --> 00:04:32,000
Spread those legs.

00:04:32,001 --> 00:04:34,100
Oh, stop the stage.

Look, it's the big one.

61
00:04:36,501 --> 00:04:37,500
Oh, that's a nice surprise.

62
00:04:37,501 --> 00:04:39,500
Let him have it.

63
00:04:39,501 --> 00:04:42,282
Oh, Park, it's the police.

64
00:04:43,523 --> 00:04:45,890
Well, well, well, what do we got here?

65
00:04:47,121 --> 00:04:48,769
It looks like smack.

66
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:52,500
Right here on Manny Steiner's coffee table.

67
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:54,350
And you know what, sweetheart?

68
00:04:54,501 --> 00:04:56,500
Some of our boys picked
up the rest of the stuff

69
00:04:56,501 --> 00:05:00,301
in Brownsville after
Nitschke tested the last batch.

70
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:02,500
You better have a warrant, Kojak.

71
00:05:02,623 --> 00:05:03,681
Oh, what?

72
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:07,712
Oh, I would have sworn
I had one this morning.

73
00:05:07,737 --> 00:05:09,110
Here, read it.

74
00:05:09,501 --> 00:05:12,340
You got a permit for this piece?

75
00:05:12,434 --> 00:05:13,770
You better believe it.

76
00:05:15,001 --> 00:05:17,814
You see, at times I have to
carry large amounts of money.

77
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,405
Oh, really?

78
00:05:18,430 --> 00:05:19,505
Tell me about it.

79
00:05:19,786 --> 00:05:21,000
I want to call my lawyer.

80
00:05:21,001 --> 00:05:21,500
Yeah.

81
00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:26,009
Relax, huh?

82
00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:29,217
In the meantime, would you
kindly read him his rights?

83
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:32,500
You have the right to remain silent.

84
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:34,000
If you give up the right to remain silent,

85
00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:37,501
anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

86
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,221
You have the right to
speak with-- All right already.

87
00:05:40,501 --> 00:05:42,356
You'll never make it stick, Kojak.

88
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:44,500
If you think Manny Steiner's going

89
00:05:44,501 --> 00:05:47,500
to let some two-bit, bullet-headed
cop roll him up, you're crazy.

90
00:05:47,501 --> 00:05:49,500
I pay my lawyers more in a
week than you make in a year.

91
00:05:49,501 --> 00:05:51,028
You can tell me about it.

92
00:05:52,075 --> 00:05:53,500
Look, I've got my rights.

93
00:05:53,501 --> 00:05:54,500
I want to call my lawyer.

94
00:05:54,501 --> 00:05:55,281
Yeah, yeah.

95
00:05:55,957 --> 00:05:57,219
Sit down.

96
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:00,295
We'll go down to the station house.

97
00:06:00,501 --> 00:06:03,000
We'll book you, and then
you can call your lawyer.

98
00:06:03,025 --> 00:06:07,000
In the meantime, you get some of the
boys down here and really toss this joint.

99
00:06:07,001 --> 00:06:08,001
Really toss it.

100
00:06:08,125 --> 00:06:10,500
Go through all the legal
papers, documents, whatever.

101
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Open a safe on paid bills, and then get
Stavros down here, the plant authority.

102
00:06:15,075 --> 00:06:18,500
I wouldn't be surprised if he's
growing marijuana in the potted plants.

103
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:21,000
You're not going to take me, Kojak.

104
00:06:21,001 --> 00:06:23,500
Why don't you use
that bullet head of yours

105
00:06:23,501 --> 00:06:25,278
for something else besides
breaking down doors?

106
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,834
Look, this is something we can work out.

107
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,376
After all, I'm a respectable businessman.

108
00:06:46,401 --> 00:06:48,557
Yeah, well, you keep talking, Steiner,

109
00:06:48,901 --> 00:06:51,400
and I'll nail you for trying
to bribe a police officer.

110
00:06:51,401 --> 00:06:52,401
That ain't too bad.

111
00:06:52,546 --> 00:06:54,210
A bull-headed police officer.

112
00:06:54,250 --> 00:06:56,550
That's good for 10 to 20 years on a farm.

113
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:58,247
I'll never do time, Kojak.

114
00:06:58,272 --> 00:06:59,050
Of course not.

115
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:01,550
You'll have time for your
memoirs like Joe Belocci.

116
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,050
Get ready for your papers,
baby, and follow the leader.

117
00:07:13,848 --> 00:07:16,050
All right, while you're
resting, what's your full name?

118
00:07:16,051 --> 00:07:17,303
Nitchkey.

119
00:07:18,722 --> 00:07:20,550
Mr. Steiner has a right to counsel.

120
00:07:20,551 --> 00:07:21,551
What are the charges?

121
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,050
Possession of heroin with intent to sell.

122
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,550
Possession of narcotics paraphernalia.

123
00:07:27,551 --> 00:07:31,050
Possible possession of a
firearm without a registration.

124
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:32,550
How's that for openers?

125
00:07:32,650 --> 00:07:34,050
I got news for you, buster.

126
00:07:34,375 --> 00:07:36,550
You know, playing Patty
cake on your coffee table

127
00:07:36,551 --> 00:07:40,978
with a half a kilo of horse, that's
a tsk, tsk, and a naughty, naughty.

128
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,244
Manny, you have a right to remain silent.

129
00:07:43,269 --> 00:07:46,695
I strongly advise you to say
nothing, absolutely nothing.

130
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:49,042
Try to arrange bail as fast as I can.

131
00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:51,050
Good boy.

132
00:07:51,051 --> 00:07:53,663
Well, it looks leak-proof to me.

133
00:07:54,793 --> 00:07:57,880
Now, it's all set for a preliminary
hearing on Monday at 10 AM.

134
00:07:57,905 --> 00:07:59,975
You be there, Theo, with the evidence.

135
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:03,050
Grabbing the stuff
right in his living room.

136
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,805
Open package and all that.

137
00:08:05,051 --> 00:08:08,143
You know, I wish every case they
gave me to prosecute was this easy.

138
00:08:10,075 --> 00:08:12,380
I guess you heard he made bail.

139
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,937
A hundred thou cash.

140
00:08:15,003 --> 00:08:16,303
You know something?

141
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,315
This fellow must have had his
hearing on the back nine at Winged Foot.

142
00:08:27,804 --> 00:08:29,310
That's a good one.

143
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:33,550
Oh, I'm sorry, Frank.

144
00:08:33,551 --> 00:08:35,193
I didn't know you had a broad.

145
00:08:35,830 --> 00:08:37,630
That's all right, Theo. He's just leaving.

146
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,050
Uh, before you go,

147
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:41,312
do you mind answering one question?

148
00:08:41,612 --> 00:08:43,862
What am I supposed to
do about dinner tonight?

149
00:08:44,366 --> 00:08:46,367
What did you do before you married me?

150
00:08:46,392 --> 00:08:48,550
Frank! Don't answer that.

151
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,050
There's some frozen dinners in the freezer.

152
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,728
Pop one into the oven, set the timer,

153
00:08:53,925 --> 00:08:55,550
and modern science will do the rest.

154
00:08:55,775 --> 00:08:57,050
Don't wait up for me, dear.

155
00:08:57,051 --> 00:08:58,111
How come?

156
00:08:58,291 --> 00:09:01,081
They haven't tryouts for
cheerleader after class?

157
00:09:01,738 --> 00:09:03,550
I'm moonlighting for a sick friend.

158
00:09:03,987 --> 00:09:06,050
at the by-the-wee massage parlor.

159
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:14,050
Bye, Lillian.

160
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:17,550
She's gonna drive me bananas.

161
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,550
Hey, look, you two had a fight.

162
00:09:19,551 --> 00:09:21,050
What can I do for you?

163
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,550
Oh, it wasn't a fight.

164
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:25,050
She's just moody, unpredictable.

165
00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:27,050
Maybe she's going through
the change or something.

166
00:09:27,051 --> 00:09:28,162
I don't know.

167
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:30,570
She's always telling me
I want more out of life.

168
00:09:30,650 --> 00:09:32,050
Well, what am I supposed to do?

169
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,550
Every time it's something different.

170
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,550
Last week, she wanted to open a boutique.

171
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,579
This week, she's decided to go
back to CCNY to finish a degree.

172
00:09:39,977 --> 00:09:40,987
Oh, yeah.

173
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:44,264
I mean, the kids are
grown and away from home.

174
00:09:44,915 --> 00:09:46,550
She wants to change the scenery.

175
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:48,550
She wants to get away
for a couple of weeks.

176
00:09:48,551 --> 00:09:49,414
You got a vacation.

177
00:09:49,439 --> 00:09:52,091
Come on, why don't you
take us up, late-sheepskate?

178
00:09:52,146 --> 00:09:53,896
He's gonna drive me bananas.

179
00:09:59,659 --> 00:10:01,218
No way, no how.

180
00:10:03,262 --> 00:10:04,902
Not in my time of life.

181
00:10:04,989 --> 00:10:08,889
I haven't come this far to wind
up in some stinking prison cell.

182
00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:15,050
Maybe die in some lousy prison infirmary.

183
00:10:17,169 --> 00:10:18,018
No.

184
00:10:18,671 --> 00:10:20,050
You're my lawyer, Farrell.

185
00:10:20,051 --> 00:10:20,926
You come up with something.

186
00:10:20,951 --> 00:10:22,293
You come up with one of your loopholes.

187
00:10:22,318 --> 00:10:23,939
Manny, that's not the way it works.

188
00:10:24,325 --> 00:10:25,744
I don't invent the law.

189
00:10:26,023 --> 00:10:28,423
I only protect your right within the law.

190
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:30,550
The fact that the incriminating materials

191
00:10:30,551 --> 00:10:34,050
were found in your apartment in
such a quantity and with you present,

192
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,050
well, it makes the
prosecution's case very strong.

193
00:10:37,806 --> 00:10:38,806
Yeah.

194
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:43,550
That damned evidence.

195
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:50,050
Without that evidence... Manny, I
don't know what you're thinking, but...

196
00:10:50,051 --> 00:10:51,578
Look, it's all or nothing.

197
00:10:52,213 --> 00:10:54,093
I'm not spending the
rest of my life in prison.

198
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:56,050
Oh, don't get nervous, Farrell.

199
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:59,050
Go on, go on home to
your big house in Derrienne.

200
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:04,550
I'll call in another specialist
to pick it up from here.

201
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:15,976
( music playing )

202
00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:19,210
No evidence, no case.

203
00:11:19,375 --> 00:11:20,838
It's that simple.

204
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,439
But I need a man with your
talent who can put it together.

205
00:11:25,397 --> 00:11:26,490
Can do?

206
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,967
Will do, Mr. Steiner.

207
00:11:31,051 --> 00:11:33,550
Difficult problems are my specialty.

208
00:11:33,816 --> 00:11:34,816
How much?

209
00:11:35,029 --> 00:11:36,595
$130,000.

210
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,968
A hundred for me, 30 for my people.

211
00:11:38,993 --> 00:11:40,528
I'll take care of my own expenses.

212
00:11:40,828 --> 00:11:43,550
Results. That's all I'm interested in.

213
00:11:43,675 --> 00:11:44,602
Results.

214
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:46,749
You know this man Kojak?

215
00:11:46,946 --> 00:11:48,292
Sure, I know Kojak.

216
00:11:49,832 --> 00:11:51,398
I know everybody.

217
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:56,261
That Greek is the kind of a
fox you try to stay out of his way.

218
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,240
It's gonna be hard to get a handle on him.

219
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,550
At these prices, I don't want to hear hard.

220
00:12:01,551 --> 00:12:02,666
I want to know, can you do it?

221
00:12:02,770 --> 00:12:04,163
Not to worry.

222
00:12:05,507 --> 00:12:06,967
Just leave it to me.

223
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,050
You won't even know how I put it together.

224
00:12:09,051 --> 00:12:10,086
That's the way I like it.

225
00:12:10,137 --> 00:12:13,314
Get yourself a good alibi for a
couple of days, something solid.

226
00:12:13,874 --> 00:12:15,425
Any other loose ends?

227
00:12:16,362 --> 00:12:19,050
There's Nitschke.
He brought the junk up to my place.

228
00:12:19,225 --> 00:12:20,403
Cost you 20 more.

229
00:12:22,579 --> 00:12:24,550
Standard fee, shop around.

230
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,024
You won't do any better.

231
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:31,050
( music playing ).

232
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,079
Hello, this is Steiner. Put Farrell on.

233
00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:58,409
I don't care. Put him on.

234
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:01,186
Farrell.

235
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:03,890
Get Nitschke out on bail.

236
00:13:04,402 --> 00:13:06,803
Now. The usual channels.

237
00:13:07,336 --> 00:13:08,513
Right away.

238
00:13:10,265 --> 00:13:12,665
Oh, and Farrell, I got a news item for you.

239
00:13:13,443 --> 00:13:15,844
I'll be your guest on
"The Sound" this weekend.

240
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:19,899
I said this weekend. That's your problem.

241
00:13:21,029 --> 00:13:22,089
That's right.

242
00:13:23,059 --> 00:13:27,550
Oh, and why don't you invite
some of your fancy society friends?

243
00:13:30,275 --> 00:13:31,051
Yeah.

244
00:13:45,321 --> 00:13:49,342
So she does 30 days for no
convictions, whatever that meant.

245
00:13:49,367 --> 00:13:50,824
I think she meant no opinions, you know.

246
00:13:50,849 --> 00:13:51,922
- Captain. - Yeah.

247
00:13:51,947 --> 00:13:54,604
- Somebody left this note for you.
- Oh, thank you, Sergeant.

248
00:13:57,407 --> 00:13:58,527
Oh, come on.

249
00:14:00,819 --> 00:14:03,193
Oh, no, not again.

250
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,785
Lillian, get this.

251
00:14:06,522 --> 00:14:10,175
I feel a need to get away
for a few days by myself.

252
00:14:10,551 --> 00:14:12,550
I'll call and let you know where I am.

253
00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:14,047
Love, Lillian.

254
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,659
Well, I hope she picked
up my shirts before she left.

255
00:14:17,684 --> 00:14:20,550
Good for her.
You know, 22 years married to a cop.

256
00:14:20,551 --> 00:14:22,550
Is that what you call a
better chrysanthemums?

257
00:14:22,551 --> 00:14:26,550
Yeah, well, all the same, I'm not gonna run
around like some jerk trying to find her.

258
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:28,550
If she wants to express herself, great.

259
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:32,550
So long as she doesn't run up a charge,
you count it, Tiffany's. It's fine with me.

260
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,550
Hey, Frank, I know you're
snaked out of the middle, right?

261
00:14:35,650 --> 00:14:39,855
But now that you're a bachelor for a
couple of days, I got a couple of numbers.

262
00:14:40,032 --> 00:14:41,092
- A couple? - Yeah.

263
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:44,934
One would give me a massive coronary.

264
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:46,442
What?

265
00:14:53,915 --> 00:14:56,550
- Yeah? - Lieutenant Kojak, please.

266
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:58,032
Okay.

267
00:14:58,575 --> 00:15:01,550
Lieutenant Kojak, it's for you.

268
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,013
Thank you.

269
00:15:09,418 --> 00:15:10,418
Hello.

270
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:12,550
Did McNeil buy the note bit?

271
00:15:12,850 --> 00:15:15,844
- Who is this?
- Shut your mouth and listen to me, Kojak.

272
00:15:16,058 --> 00:15:18,550
You know that note from McNeil's wife?

273
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:22,550
She's gone on a little vacation. I feel
the need to get away for a few days, right?

274
00:15:22,551 --> 00:15:24,866
Well, we've got her, Kojak.

275
00:15:24,999 --> 00:15:26,782
What do you mean, you've got her?
You've kidnapped her?

276
00:15:26,807 --> 00:15:29,550
Who said anything about kidnapping?
She's on a vacation.

277
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,772
She's taking a few days away.

278
00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:34,550
Can I help it if she runs into an
auto accident in New Berkshires?

279
00:15:34,551 --> 00:15:36,550
Read the note, Kojak.

280
00:15:37,322 --> 00:15:38,068
- What do you want? - A swap.

281
00:15:38,348 --> 00:15:42,664
That package you found over on Park.
You know the one, on the coffee table.

282
00:15:42,689 --> 00:15:46,208
The package for McNeil's wife.
It's that simple, Kojak.

283
00:15:46,348 --> 00:15:48,820
Simple nothing.
You can't blackmail this man.

284
00:15:48,845 --> 00:15:51,200
That's why I'm talking to you, Kojak.

285
00:15:51,347 --> 00:15:53,134
You're the arresting officer.

286
00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:56,339
You'll be the one to check out that
package on the morning of the hearing.

287
00:15:56,505 --> 00:15:59,187
That evidence never gets to court, Kojak.

288
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,550
When we get the package,
you'll get McNeil's wife.

289
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,903
Number one, I gotta keep it
from McNeil, and number two...

290
00:16:05,469 --> 00:16:07,039
the department doesn't
look too well, and the

291
00:16:07,051 --> 00:16:09,550
detective will go south
with a kilo of horse.

292
00:16:09,850 --> 00:16:11,550
That's your problem, Kojak.

293
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,778
You start to look for her,
you'll find her in a ditch.

294
00:16:13,971 --> 00:16:15,091
Think about it.

295
00:16:15,551 --> 00:16:20,550
A 10 to 20 rap on an old
man's life or a nice lady's life.

296
00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:24,423
And if I get you the stuff,
and you kill her anyway...

297
00:16:24,575 --> 00:16:27,117
I'm taking a skydive
without a parachute, right?

298
00:16:28,050 --> 00:16:29,550
Hey, look, I wanna talk to Lillian.

299
00:16:29,551 --> 00:16:31,550
You get a call on this
phone in ten minutes.

300
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,550
Kojak, please, don't try any trace.

301
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:41,306
Uh, are you finished?

302
00:16:41,551 --> 00:16:43,550
- Hmm? - The phone. Are you finished?

303
00:16:43,551 --> 00:16:45,550
Hey, look, I'm a cop. Don't use it.

304
00:16:50,405 --> 00:16:51,429
Benny?

305
00:16:52,750 --> 00:16:54,253
- Yes, lieutenant? - Come here.

306
00:16:57,443 --> 00:16:59,169
Don't anybody use this phone.

307
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:03,550
(SIGHS)

308
00:17:07,255 --> 00:17:08,815
Yeah. I'm sorry, Mac.

309
00:17:11,479 --> 00:17:14,550


310
00:17:18,572 --> 00:17:19,725
Squad room.

311
00:17:20,975 --> 00:17:22,550
Crocker, this is Kojak.

312
00:17:22,551 --> 00:17:24,468
Get your hands on a
T-14 recorder and get

313
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,550
here on a double to
the Excelsior pool hall.

314
00:17:27,511 --> 00:17:29,677
Come in the back way, and
I'll meet you in the men's room.

315
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,350
That's right, that men's room.
And, Crocker, move it.

316
00:17:32,506 --> 00:17:35,182
I want you down here in nine
minutes, and make sure it's working.

317
00:17:51,841 --> 00:17:54,234
- What's up, lieutenant?
- Are you sure it's working?

318
00:17:54,259 --> 00:17:56,865
- Yeah, I put new batteries in it.
- Now, look, I'm in a hurry.

319
00:17:57,171 --> 00:17:59,231
You get out of here
and go out the back way.

320
00:18:05,455 --> 00:18:07,586
- All right. Thanks, Benny.
- Right, lieutenant.

321
00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:14,810
(PHONE RINGS)

322
00:18:15,908 --> 00:18:16,728
Hello?

323
00:18:18,157 --> 00:18:20,703
- Theo? - Lillian, are you all right?

324
00:18:20,728 --> 00:18:24,040
Yes, I'm all right,
but... But I'm afraid.

325
00:18:25,535 --> 00:18:28,105
Please do whatever they ask.

326
00:18:29,335 --> 00:18:33,817
Whatever you do, follow
their instructions to the letter.

327
00:18:33,842 --> 00:18:35,956
Lillian, of course we will.
Now, let's leave.

328
00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:49,050
- Hello, Lieutenant. - Hey, Lieutenant.

329
00:19:03,015 --> 00:19:05,418
Lieutenant, we have a make
on the Bollinger burglary suspect.

330
00:19:05,443 --> 00:19:07,442
Do you want us to tail him or pick him up?

331
00:19:08,498 --> 00:19:09,431
What?

332
00:19:10,097 --> 00:19:12,297
Do you want us to scoop
him up or tail him, Lieutenant?

333
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:14,580
I don't care.
Take him to lunch if you want to.

334
00:19:18,297 --> 00:19:20,976
Make a decision, Crocker.
That's what the city pays you for.

335
00:19:31,217 --> 00:19:33,957
You start to look for her,
you'll find her in a ditch.

336
00:19:39,658 --> 00:19:41,164
Give me the desk.

337
00:19:41,701 --> 00:19:43,350
This is Lieutenant Kojak.

338
00:19:43,351 --> 00:19:46,087
Were you on the desk this morning
when that note came for Captain O'Neil?

339
00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:49,350
No, he got it all right. Who brought it in?

340
00:19:51,305 --> 00:19:52,565
A wino.

341
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:55,222
Did you get a description?

342
00:19:58,876 --> 00:19:59,783
Right, thanks.

343
00:20:01,550 --> 00:20:03,350
Stavros, come in here.

344
00:20:04,426 --> 00:20:05,373
Yes, Lieutenant.

345
00:20:05,401 --> 00:20:08,799
Look, some wino brought a note
in here this morning, downstairs.

346
00:20:09,385 --> 00:20:10,439
I want you to locate him.

347
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:12,400
Locate a wino?

348
00:20:12,850 --> 00:20:14,917
You've got to be kidding.
You know how many winos...

349
00:20:14,942 --> 00:20:17,263
He's pushing 80, dressed

Fear. Possibly even duress.

520
00:31:11,401 --> 00:31:13,180
And here's the strange part.

521
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:18,400
The way almost every word ends
shows concentration and determination.

522
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,400
You can see that from the
way these last letters are formed.

523
00:31:21,650 --> 00:31:24,400
I see. What does that tell us?

524
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:26,069
I can't really say.

525
00:31:26,650 --> 00:31:28,837
Because there's--
There's contradiction here.

526
00:31:29,401 --> 00:31:33,638
Stress... gets determination.

527
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:37,021
All right, Faxi, thanks.

528
00:31:37,675 --> 00:31:40,400
Lieutenant, you in some kind of trouble?

529
00:31:41,797 --> 00:31:43,683
I can read faces, too, you know.

530
00:31:43,708 --> 00:31:45,400
You know something, Faxi?

531
00:31:45,907 --> 00:31:47,960
You're wasting your time in this booth.

532
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,671
- Nitschke bought it.
- Where'd they find him?

533
00:32:06,696 --> 00:32:09,302
Lieutenant, they just fished
Nitschke out of the East River.

534
00:32:09,327 --> 00:32:12,026
- Somebody did a piano-wire job on him.
- Are you sure it's Nitschke?

535
00:32:12,051 --> 00:32:14,317
Yeah, that's the weird part.
He still has his wallet in his pocket.

536
00:32:14,342 --> 00:32:15,784
They made a positive I.D.

537
00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:19,985
You go down to the medical examiner's
office and get the report to Wright.

538
00:32:20,101 --> 00:32:22,775
Then I want you to go down
and talk to the harbor police.

539
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:29,411
Tracy, I want an hour-hour rundown on
Nitschke... since he made bail in U Vine.

540
00:32:29,436 --> 00:32:32,029
Give Tracy a couple of
bodies to help him, okay?

541
00:32:32,101 --> 00:32:35,045
I don't know when we're
the whole enchilada.

542
00:32:35,344 --> 00:32:36,459
What gives, Lieutenant?

543
00:32:36,484 --> 00:32:37,757
I'm short on the chart already.

544
00:32:37,801 --> 00:32:39,800
We're gonna need your Kelly
girl to answer the phones here.

545
00:32:39,801 --> 00:32:42,800
- What's the rush on Nitschke?
- Oh, just do it, huh?

546
00:32:42,801 --> 00:32:46,320
I want a lead on the Nitschke
killing, and I want it today. All right?

547
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800
(Police radio chatter).

548
00:33:11,981 --> 00:33:13,584
Theo, I want to talk to you.

549
00:33:13,609 --> 00:33:16,062
I'm gonna forget you're a
lieutenant and give it to you straight.

550
00:33:16,248 --> 00:33:19,815
- Okay, I'll get it off your chest.
- I want to know what's wrong.

551
00:33:19,908 --> 00:33:22,875
You've been charging around here like
a wounded tiger. Everything's fouled up.

552
00:33:23,364 --> 00:33:25,977
Those guys out there are starting to stare
at you. They think you're cracking up.

553
00:33:26,184 --> 00:33:28,370
Now, your personal
problems are your business.

554
00:33:28,455 --> 00:33:30,375
But when it affects the
squad, it's my business.

555
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,522
Pulling guys off the chart
like paper towels off a roll.

556
00:33:33,655 --> 00:33:35,616
McNeil is all over me like a fungus.

557
00:33:35,643 --> 00:33:37,805
I can't cover anymore, Theo.

558
00:33:38,301 --> 00:33:40,300
Now, Theo, I know you're in trouble.

559
00:33:40,450 --> 00:33:42,397
It doesn't take a
genius to figure that out.

560
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:45,252
But we've been friends a long time.

561
00:33:45,277 --> 00:33:46,980
Maybe I can help. Maybe there's a way out.

562
00:33:47,207 --> 00:33:49,022
But you can't keep it to yourself.

563
00:33:49,282 --> 00:33:50,942
You're drowning, pal.

564
00:33:52,525 --> 00:33:53,659
Okay, Al.

565
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,500
You want to know what's coming down, huh?

566
00:33:56,674 --> 00:33:57,674
Yeah.

567
00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:00,159
God knows I want to tell you.

568
00:34:00,265 --> 00:34:01,500
I've got to tell somebody.

569
00:34:03,266 --> 00:34:04,300
The Steiner case, right?

570
00:34:05,168 --> 00:34:07,353
There's another angle to it, Al. You ready?

571
00:34:08,907 --> 00:34:10,300
It's heavy, baby.

572
00:34:12,350 --> 00:34:15,300
[Music]

573
00:34:20,926 --> 00:34:21,800
Good.

574
00:34:23,316 --> 00:34:24,900
It's going according to plan.

575
00:34:24,901 --> 00:34:26,735
Got the man eaten out of my hands.

576
00:34:26,950 --> 00:34:29,293
He'll turn it over just before the hearing.

577
00:34:36,839 --> 00:34:39,052
You're actually going to
hand over the evidence?

578
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,092
Unless I can get to Lillian
first, I got no other way to go.

579
00:34:42,118 --> 00:34:43,893
Of course you know what
they're going to do to you.

580
00:34:43,901 --> 00:34:45,466
They're going to press charges.

581
00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:47,673
You know what they did to
that detective in the Bronx?

582
00:34:47,975 --> 00:34:50,041
They accused him of
selling it on the street.

583
00:34:50,321 --> 00:34:51,813
They're going to crucify you.

584
00:34:51,838 --> 00:34:53,098
What can I do?

585
00:34:53,405 --> 00:34:55,581
I mean, I send a wreath
to Lillian's funeral saying,

586
00:34:55,700 --> 00:34:58,500
"Hey, baby, I'm sorry.
I had to save my skin first"?

587
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,362
Come on, Al. They're going to kill Lillian.

588
00:35:02,879 --> 00:35:05,825
Yeah, this Nietzsche, that was the
first sight when they knocked him off.

589
00:35:06,750 --> 00:35:08,846
Yeah, they're going to kill
Lillian unless I play patsy.

590
00:35:09,113 --> 00:35:11,500
They might kill her anyway.
Have you thought about that?

591
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:13,500
Oh, I've thought about that.

592
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,975
And McNeil doesn't know anything about it?

593
00:35:16,595 --> 00:35:18,661
Come on, Al. How could you tell him?

594
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:22,029
He'd hand in his shield before he
yields under this kind of pressure.

595
00:35:28,858 --> 00:35:30,815
Where the hell is everybody?

596
00:35:32,192 --> 00:35:33,439
What about the note?

597
00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:34,500
Here, you read it.

598
00:35:36,675 --> 00:35:38,500
( door opens ).

599
00:35:40,281 --> 00:35:43,101
All right, what the hell
is going on around here?

600
00:35:43,501 --> 00:35:45,500
( suspenseful theme playing ).

601
00:35:47,150 --> 00:36:01,500
( dramatic theme playing ).

602
00:36:04,813 --> 00:36:06,013
No deals.

603
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:07,500
Do you read me?

604
00:36:08,337 --> 00:36:10,825
I mean, you were born in this country.
You speak the language?

605
00:36:10,850 --> 00:36:12,172
No deals.

606
00:36:12,399 --> 00:36:15,647
If we don't draw the line, every punk in the
street will think he can

607
00:36:15,672 --> 00:36:17,500
beat the rat by
threatening a cop's family.

608
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:19,162
Carrying a shield is tough enough,

609
00:36:19,650 --> 00:36:21,819
but if every man in the
department has to do his job

610
00:36:21,844 --> 00:36:24,480
looking over his shoulder
to see if his family's okay,

611
00:36:24,850 --> 00:36:26,368
we might as well pack it in now.

612
00:36:26,393 --> 00:36:27,979
You should have told me, Theo.

613
00:36:28,194 --> 00:36:31,370
Mac, I know you.
That's exactly why I didn't tell you.

614
00:36:31,850 --> 00:36:35,288
You were gonna put the department on the
line because you knew I wouldn't go for it?

615
00:36:35,313 --> 00:36:37,812
- Call me kinky. - Well, kinky you're not.

616
00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:40,631
You're gonna take that
evidence down to court tomorrow

617
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:42,804
morning if I have to send
you in an armored truck.

618
00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:45,054
And Lillian?

619
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:47,315
It's gotta be a bluff.

620
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:50,852
You're not gonna kill a captain's wife.

621
00:36:57,426 --> 00:36:58,830
We got 18 hours.

622
00:37:02,768 --> 00:37:05,169
What have we got so far?
Let's go over it again.

623
00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:09,757
Well, it's Steiner's ballgame, and he's
got a pad alibi. He was in Connecticut.

624
00:37:09,782 --> 00:37:11,322
He's using a middleman.

625
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,844
And they're smart, Frank.

626
00:37:12,869 --> 00:37:15,826
They snatched Lillian
out of the apartment in

627
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:17,500
broad daylight, some old
broad and a young dude.

628
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,500
And then they had her write a note.

629
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,500
And the way I figure it,

630
00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:23,500
after they left the apartment.

631
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,593
Forensic come up with anything on the note?

632
00:37:28,233 --> 00:37:28,890
No.

633
00:37:32,093 --> 00:37:33,606
Lillian's a cop's wife.

634
00:37:35,505 --> 00:37:37,720
Now, she wrote the note
and made the phone call.

635
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:39,625
after she left the apartment.

636
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:41,586
Now, I figure she tried
to feed us something.

637
00:37:43,439 --> 00:37:44,905
Let's play that tape again.

638
00:37:45,809 --> 00:37:46,822
Okay.

639
00:37:48,311 --> 00:37:49,599
Lillian, are you all right?

640
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:53,194
Yes, I'm all right,
but... but I'm afraid.

641
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,191
Please do whatever they ask.

642
00:37:58,659 --> 00:38:03,013
Whatever you do, follow
their instructions to the letter.

643
00:38:03,133 --> 00:38:05,083
Lillian, of course we will. Now, listen.

644
00:38:06,377 --> 00:38:08,638
Follow their instructions to the letter.

645
00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:10,662
Could she be trying to feed us something?

646
00:38:10,687 --> 00:38:12,902
Obviously. They told her
what to write in the note, Frank.

647
00:38:13,235 --> 00:38:15,243
Let's see this envelope again.

648
00:38:15,851 --> 00:38:18,157
Yeah. Full name and address
and Lillian's handwriting.

649
00:38:18,182 --> 00:38:19,266
Everything with a stamp.

650
00:38:19,291 --> 00:38:20,666
Even the zip code.

651
00:38:21,650 --> 00:38:23,270
Except it's the wrong zip code.

652
00:38:25,150 --> 00:38:26,222
Let me see that.

653
00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:29,500
That's no New York City zip code, Frank.

654
00:38:29,501 --> 00:38:30,747
You're right. But what is it?

655
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,215
Well, I think it's a license number.

656
00:38:33,501 --> 00:38:35,324
She got a good look at her license plate.

657
00:38:35,550 --> 00:38:37,137
They look like old numbers, right?

658
00:38:37,575 --> 00:38:40,500
But New York plates
have numbers and letters.

659
00:38:41,256 --> 00:38:43,406
On the 6, 2, and 4, they're clear.

660
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:45,956
But look at the 618.
You see the loop in the 6?

661
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,500
It isn't closed.
This one here, what's that? A little foot.

662
00:38:48,650 --> 00:38:50,612
And the 8 is written like an E.
Now look close.

663
00:38:50,637 --> 00:38:54,500
That's 624CLE.

664
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:57,661
And with the license number, we
can get her name and an address.

665
00:39:02,389 --> 00:39:04,156
Captain. Lieutenant.

666
00:39:06,259 --> 00:39:07,500
Miles Grundy.

667
00:39:08,863 --> 00:39:10,279
That him here, the deer?

668
00:39:10,443 --> 00:39:11,427
No.

669
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:14,830
And the information unit has no
report on that vehicle being stolen.

670
00:39:14,930 --> 00:39:16,575
All right, here's Grundy's yellow sheet.

671
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,500
And a couple of arrests for bad
checks and a vice bust that didn't stick.

672
00:39:21,322 --> 00:39:23,857
Not exactly a kidnapper's profile.

673
00:39:24,192 --> 00:39:25,638
Maybe he's stepping up in class.

674
00:39:25,827 --> 00:39:29,500
If it's our only solid
lead, let's follow up on it.

675
00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:33,500
[♪♪♪].

676
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,500
[♪♪♪].

677
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:01,486
He's in there all right.

678
00:40:01,511 --> 00:40:04,671
Saperstein found a place where we can
get a pretty good look into Grundy's pet.

679
00:40:07,473 --> 00:40:08,768
Saperstein, what do you got?

680
00:40:08,861 --> 00:40:10,281
Studio apartment, Lieutenant.

681
00:40:10,701 --> 00:40:13,382
And from where I stand, no sign of Mrs.
McNeil.

682
00:40:13,442 --> 00:40:15,010
Grundy's having dinner.

683
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:16,900
They must have her somewhere else.

684
00:40:16,901 --> 00:40:20,200
Okay, Crocker, you go have
a look, but discreetly, huh?

685
00:40:20,326 --> 00:40:22,900
You're going to get wise to this
plan, baby. We're down to tubes.

686
00:40:22,901 --> 00:40:23,661
Okay.

687
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
[HORN HONKING]

688
