00:18:18,077 --> 00:18:21,274
and then slipped out
through a service exit?
172
00:18:21,347 --> 00:18:24,578
Yeah, but that still didn't explain
how he got into the apartment.
173
00:18:24,650 --> 00:18:28,746
- The door was locked, you know.
- Hmm. And no sign of any break-in.
174
00:18:28,821 --> 00:18:32,348
You know, that's a very good point,
Mr. Polichek. Thank you.
175
00:18:32,425 --> 00:18:35,189
Twenty feet from the door. Why there?
176
00:18:35,261 --> 00:18:37,354
The cannon is pointing at him,
177
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:40,024
and he stands there
sipping a martini, hmm?
178
00:18:40,099 --> 00:18:42,192
At a guess, approximately 10:30.
179
00:18:42,268 --> 00:18:44,429
You'll get my fine line
with your breakfast oatmeal.
180
00:18:44,503 --> 00:18:49,304
Whoever did it, tell him
Agajanian said
he's some fancy shooter.
181
00:18:53,446 --> 00:18:56,472
Oh, you should be
home in bed, Olney.
182
00:18:56,549 --> 00:18:59,985
Whoa.! Come back here, Doctor.
183
00:19:03,055 --> 00:19:07,822
Oh-ho. Agajanian's right.
I've picked floaters out of the East River
that look better than you do.
184
00:19:07,893 --> 00:19:10,453
I'm okay, Theo.
I'll be okay, Theo.
185
00:19:10,529 --> 00:19:13,464
If I sent you to Coney Island, the whole beach
would be throwing sand in your face.
186
00:19:13,532 --> 00:19:15,466
Why don't you take him inside
and do a number on him?
187
00:19:15,534 --> 00:19:18,230
And if it's catching,
I don't wanna hear about it.
188
00:19:21,407 --> 00:19:23,341
What's the matter with you?
Huh?
189
00:19:23,409 --> 00:19:28,039
Oh, nothing.
Just a slight case of athlete's foot,
but I'm off the critical list.
190
00:19:28,113 --> 00:19:31,173
Well, I'm glad to hear that,
because this case has warts on it.
191
00:19:31,250 --> 00:19:35,209
Okay. The victim leased the apartment
a year ago under the name of Edward Harris.
192
00:19:35,287 --> 00:19:38,518
The I.D. In his billfold reads Quincy Forsythe...
193
00:19:38,591 --> 00:19:42,960
a named partner in a Wall Street law firm,
Scarsdale home address.
194
00:19:44,096 --> 00:19:47,862
He used the apartment infrequently,
never weekends, always at night...
195
00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:49,867
an occasional Wednesday matinee.
196
00:19:49,935 --> 00:19:53,063
The doorman's log can provide you
with exact, uh, dates.
197
00:19:54,139 --> 00:19:57,870
There was a string of them, all knockouts.
The last blonde named, uh, Miss Johnson.
198
00:19:57,943 --> 00:20:00,411
You putting this down?
Yeah. Miss Johnson.
199
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,348
She must have copped rave reviews
because he held her over about three months.
200
00:20:05,417 --> 00:20:07,851
Okay, she arrived this evening around 7:30.
201
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,718
Ingram... that's the doorman...
permitting her to go straight up,
202
00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:14,486
those being the instructions
of Mr. Harris or Mr. Forsythe
or whatever you want to call him.
203
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,157
And at 10:30, according to our M.E.,
he shuffled off this mortal coil.
204
00:20:22,668 --> 00:20:26,104
What time, uh,
did you say she left?
Shortly before 10:00.
205
00:20:26,171 --> 00:20:28,799
- Then that lets her off the hook.
- Well, that's neat.
206
00:20:28,874 --> 00:20:31,434
A very neat homicide. Right, gang?
Culprit? Motive?
207
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:34,206
But I should worry?
I've got you and Olney on thejob.
208
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,579
I can take two weeks in the Catskills.
One week. Olney's been scratched.
209
00:20:37,650 --> 00:20:40,915
Of course, it's a long time
since I probed the vitals of a living person,
210
00:20:40,986 --> 00:20:43,580
but a first-year med student
could diagnose the fact...
211
00:20:43,656 --> 00:20:46,625
that Detective Olney
has a ruptured appendix.
212
00:20:46,692 --> 00:20:49,627
Sorry, partner.
I thought it was just a case of measles.
213
00:20:50,896 --> 00:20:52,887
[Clears Throat]
Take care, Olney.
214
00:20:56,201 --> 00:20:59,193
What are you worried about?
You'll have a partner. Me.
215
00:21:01,206 --> 00:21:04,073
[Dialing Telephone]
216
00:21:04,143 --> 00:21:07,704
Information? Yes, please.
I'd like the number of a Quincy Forsythe,
217
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:10,408
911 Woodbridge Drive, Scarsdale.
218
00:21:11,951 --> 00:21:14,943
First thing we should do is try to, uh,
get a line on this Johnson chick.
219
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:18,456
See if we can't run down the cabbie
who picked her up tonight, huh?
Right.
220
00:21:18,524 --> 00:21:21,960
Yes. What was that number again?
Mm-hmm.
221
00:21:24,196 --> 00:21:26,858
[Dialing Telephone]
222
00:21:29,368 --> 00:21:33,828
Nose around. I mean,
three months on the best-seller list,
she must have left some souvenirs.
223
00:21:35,474 --> 00:21:37,908
Yes. This is the New York City
Police Department,
224
00:21:37,977 --> 00:21:42,471
Lieutenant Kojak,
Manhattan South Detective Squad.
225
00:21:43,649 --> 00:21:46,482
I'm calling in regard to Mr. Quincy Forsythe.
226
00:21:48,821 --> 00:21:50,812
His wife?
227
00:21:50,889 --> 00:21:53,915
Yes, l... I think you better wake her.
228
00:21:55,327 --> 00:21:57,761
Yes, I know it's late, but it's urgent.
229
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:59,957
Yes, Lieutenant Kojak.
230
00:22:00,032 --> 00:22:01,966
Yes, I'll wait.
231
00:22:33,766 --> 00:22:37,725
[Sputters]
In two years, Lefkowitz,
you'll be a hopeless diabetic.
232
00:22:37,803 --> 00:22:39,896
You got the doorman's log?
Yeah. Right here.
233
00:22:39,972 --> 00:22:43,408
Where'd you leave your car?
I'll drop you off.
Oh, I didn't. Olney drove me in.
234
00:22:43,475 --> 00:22:45,409
All right. Come on, I'll drive you home.
235
00:22:45,477 --> 00:22:47,911
No, it's all right.
I'll take the subway.
236
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:50,642
What, and get mugged?
Come on.
[Siren]
237
00:23:02,161 --> 00:23:05,153
[Melodramatic Instrumental]
238
00:23:06,932 --> 00:23:10,197
Just one.
All right. Maybe just a quick one.
239
00:23:10,269 --> 00:23:12,863
Honey, hustle us up some drinks.
240
00:23:14,106 --> 00:23:17,041
Retsina okay?
Retsina? You got to be kidding.
241
00:23:17,109 --> 00:23:19,202
You're actually holding?
242
00:23:19,278 --> 00:23:21,542
It's not exactly in big demand.
243
00:23:21,613 --> 00:23:24,707
Five years, and I still have
the same bottle you gave us
for our housewarming.
244
00:23:25,784 --> 00:23:29,049
It doesn't spoil, does it?
[Chuckles]
Spoil? You buy it rotten.
245
00:23:29,121 --> 00:23:32,557
You could drop a dead cat into it
and it wouldn't make any difference.
246
00:23:32,624 --> 00:23:35,115
I'll call St. Luke's,
see how Olney's doing.
Yeah.
247
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,734
Why don't you let a bachelor
defend his rights?
248
00:23:51,810 --> 00:23:53,903
Yes. Hello. This is Detective Ferro.
[Clank]
249
00:23:53,979 --> 00:23:55,913
Oh-ho-ho.
[Ferro Speaking, Indistinct]
250
00:23:55,981 --> 00:23:59,246
[Loud Clatter]
Okay.
251
00:24:06,258 --> 00:24:08,192
How's the world treating you, Jo?
252
00:24:08,260 --> 00:24:10,285
Like a fairy princess. You?
Oh.
253
00:24:10,362 --> 00:24:13,297
Well, I'm parting my hair
a little bit differently.
254
00:24:14,767 --> 00:24:18,225
Hey, I'm sorry to be
dragging your old man out
at this ungodly hour.
255
00:24:18,303 --> 00:24:22,399
It's okay. That's why
they invented, uh, backgammon.
256
00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:26,207
That's great.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
257
00:24:29,281 --> 00:24:32,216
Well, the operation
was a huge success.
Good.
258
00:24:32,284 --> 00:24:35,378
And Olney's resting comfortably
in postoperative care.
Mm-hmm.
259
00:24:35,454 --> 00:24:39,151
And a year from now,
he'll be telling us he got the scar
from a big dockside rumble.
260
00:24:39,224 --> 00:24:43,160
Red, you're notjoining us?
261
00:24:44,296 --> 00:24:46,230
No, I'm way ahead of you.
262
00:24:49,768 --> 00:24:52,464
Well, I guess I'd better split.
I got a big day tomorrow.
263
00:24:52,538 --> 00:24:54,733
Yeah, well, your big day is my big day.
264
00:24:57,476 --> 00:24:59,569
Thanks, Jo.
I'll see you tomorrow.
265
00:25:01,847 --> 00:25:04,315
Good night.
Good night.
266
00:25:28,774 --> 00:25:31,402
That was my engagement gift to you.
267
00:25:31,476 --> 00:25:33,910
It cost me three weeks salary.
268
00:25:39,785 --> 00:25:42,219
Where do you hide your wig?
269
00:25:43,288 --> 00:25:45,313
[Yells]
Where?
270
00:25:45,390 --> 00:25:47,381
Well, get it!
271
00:25:54,132 --> 00:25:56,123
Come on.
272
00:26:03,742 --> 00:26:07,838
All right, with this we close the door.
There will be no discussion,
273
00:26:07,913 --> 00:26:10,245
and neither of us
will ever refer to this again!
274
00:26:10,315 --> 00:26:14,183
And when I presume you to be home,
you will be home.
275
00:26:14,253 --> 00:26:15,777
Yes.
276
00:26:15,854 --> 00:26:19,551
And when you tell me you're going
someplace with the girls, that's exactly
and precisely what you're gonna do,
277
00:26:19,625 --> 00:26:21,684
with every second rigidly accounted for.!
278
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,093
- Do you read me, Joanna?
- Yes. Yes.
279
00:26:29,268 --> 00:26:32,260
Now, he never phoned you, did he?
I mean, there's no way they can...
they can connect you.
280
00:26:32,337 --> 00:26:34,862
No, I was very careful.
281
00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:37,204
Ohhh.
282
00:26:37,276 --> 00:26:40,109
- Then how come I found out?
- [Whimpers]
283
00:27:02,634 --> 00:27:05,330
[Laughing]
Soap?
Soap. Soap!
284
00:27:05,404 --> 00:27:07,497
All right. Who died?
285
00:27:07,572 --> 00:27:10,666
Nick Ferro's heavy drug collar?
Pinky Hollister?
286
00:27:10,742 --> 00:27:12,835
Turns out he was carrying soap.
[Chuckling]
287
00:27:13,912 --> 00:27:16,847
All right.
What have you got for me?
288
00:27:16,915 --> 00:27:19,509
Autopsy confirmed time of death...
10:30 p.m.
289
00:27:19,584 --> 00:27:22,849
Hmm. Agajanian must be
doing handstands.
290
00:27:22,921 --> 00:27:25,355
Yeah. Ballistics identified
the make of the weapon.
291
00:27:25,424 --> 00:27:28,689
A nine-millimeter Browning,
silencer equipped.
292
00:27:29,695 --> 00:27:32,459
Send it through for match up?
It's already in the works.
293
00:27:33,598 --> 00:27:35,862
From the female attire
hanging in the closet,
294
00:27:35,934 --> 00:27:38,528
plus some lingerie
we found in the dresser drawer,
295
00:27:38,603 --> 00:27:41,538
Forensic is able to give us
some reconstructive statistics...
296
00:27:41,606 --> 00:27:45,201
regarding the probable height, weight
and age of the lady known as Miss Johnson.
297
00:27:45,277 --> 00:27:48,041
The doorman could tell me that.
Ah! But he couldn't tell you this.
298
00:27:49,114 --> 00:27:51,344
The tattling sheets on Forsythe's bed...
299
00:27:51,416 --> 00:27:55,443
indicate that an indoor track meet took place
between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. Last night...
300
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,545
and that the female contestant wore...
301
00:27:57,622 --> 00:28:00,648
an inexpensive, over-the-counter
blonde nylon wig.
302
00:28:00,726 --> 00:28:02,819
[Chuckles]
Okay, so what do you want?
303
00:28:02,894 --> 00:28:06,193
A departmental citation
or a free trip to Cuba?
304
00:28:06,264 --> 00:28:09,199
I'll settle for a cup of coffee.
305
00:28:11,370 --> 00:28:14,498
All right. Here.
306
00:28:14,573 --> 00:28:16,541
You're kidding?
All right, go ahead.
307
00:28:16,608 --> 00:28:19,236
I'm buying, just as long
as you're pouring, Sergeant.
308
00:28:20,579 --> 00:28:23,514
Widow make it to the morgue yet?
Yeah, Crocker was with her.
He got a written statement.
309
00:28:23,582 --> 00:28:25,675
How'd she take it?
Like a Spartan.
310
00:28:26,752 --> 00:28:29,346
It seems her husband's chasing around
came as no surprise to her.
311
00:28:29,421 --> 00:28:31,753
The way she saw it,
as long as he kept it out of Scarsdale,
312
00:28:31,823 --> 00:28:35,350
it was simply a harmless hobby...
you know, like collecting stamps.
313
00:28:35,427 --> 00:28:38,487
Hmm. Is she alibied?
Up to her earlobes.
314
00:28:39,598 --> 00:28:42,533
It seems while Mr. Forsythe
was being aced,
315
00:28:42,601 --> 00:28:47,265
Mrs. Forsythe was hostessing a party
for the local chapter of the Beethoven Society.
316
00:28:47,339 --> 00:28:50,274
[Whistling Beethoven]
317
00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:56,274
Got to be a moral there someplace.
318
00:29:13,765 --> 00:29:17,963
There, lying on the carpet
underneath the coffee table...
what the devil is it?
319
00:29:24,743 --> 00:29:29,840
Well, that could... - that could be
tin foil or crumpled cellophane.
320
00:29:29,915 --> 00:29:33,407
Well, there's nothing in Forensic's
inventory that fills that bill.
321
00:29:37,055 --> 00:29:39,285
[Dialing Telephone]
322
00:29:39,357 --> 00:29:41,450
[Ringing]
323
00:29:41,526 --> 00:29:43,517
Prince. What's your beef?
324
00:29:44,529 --> 00:29:46,520
Hey, Kojak.
325
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:50,359
[Grunts] Of course we did.
We vacuumed the whole apartment.
326
00:29:53,271 --> 00:29:56,900
Well, if it is not on the inventory,
somebody must have swung with it.
327
00:29:56,975 --> 00:30:01,105
Now, look. You blow up that photo,
and if it turns out nice,
328
00:30:01,179 --> 00:30:03,613
maybe I can swing
a showing at the Guggenheim, okay?
329
00:30:03,682 --> 00:30:06,207
Thank you.
Any progress
with the cab companies?
330
00:30:06,284 --> 00:30:09,048
That could have been
a cruising gypsy cab picked her up...
331
00:30:09,121 --> 00:30:12,056
or an off-duty hack
sneaking an unreported fare.
332
00:30:12,124 --> 00:30:16,151
All the same, you stay with it.
Miss Johnson came from somewhere,
and Miss Johnson had to go somewhere.
333
00:30:16,228 --> 00:30:21,825
Hey. You're... You're not saying that...
that maybe she iced Forsythe?
Why not?
334
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:24,835
She could have paid for the taxi
a block away, then doubled back.
335
00:30:24,903 --> 00:30:27,064
The doorman said
she had her own key, right?
336
00:30:27,139 --> 00:30:31,667
She could have come early, sneaked in
and then left, leaving the service door
entrance open.
337
00:30:31,743 --> 00:30:35,577
A woman with a handgun,
six yards from her target,
338
00:30:35,647 --> 00:30:38,115
squeezes off a shot
and hits him between the eyes?
339
00:30:38,183 --> 00:30:40,117
Come on, Theo.
And how about the silencer?
340
00:30:40,185 --> 00:30:42,119
She didn't pick that up
at her favorite boutique.
341
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:50,090
Well, uh, I didn't say
it was an idea I cherished.
342
00:30:50,162 --> 00:30:52,289
What's your theory, Sherlock?
A professional hit?
343
00:30:52,364 --> 00:30:54,594
Well, it's got all the earmarks,
hasn't it?
344
00:30:54,666 --> 00:30:58,193
Now, you show me a lawyer
who hasn't made some enemies,
and I'll show you a notary public.
345
00:30:58,270 --> 00:31:00,261
Huh.
346
00:31:03,441 --> 00:31:06,035
[Ringing]
347
00:31:06,111 --> 00:31:08,045
Prince's takeout. What'll you have?
348
00:31:08,113 --> 00:31:10,946
Any evidence to indicate
the color of Miss Johnson's natural hair?
349
00:31:11,950 --> 00:31:13,884
No?
350
00:31:13,952 --> 00:31:17,217
Well, did you check
Forsythe's comb and brush set?
351
00:31:18,356 --> 00:31:22,918
Well, try the bathtub, the drain.
Pick up the pipes if necessary.
352
00:31:24,296 --> 00:31:26,389
Just doesn't scan.
353
00:31:26,464 --> 00:31:31,367
Quincy Forsythe and a nylon wig...
that's chateaubriand and hominy grits.
354
00:31:32,437 --> 00:31:35,429
You know, if he'd gone the hooker route, okay.
But that wasn't his scene.
355
00:31:37,375 --> 00:31:39,866
So if Miss Johnson wasn't
wearing the wig for show...
356
00:31:39,945 --> 00:31:42,743
She was wearing it as a disguise.
357
00:31:42,814 --> 00:31:44,805
[Chuckles]
Brilliant.
358
00:31:45,817 --> 00:31:49,253
Assuming Wall Street law firms
keep normal business hours,
359
00:31:49,321 --> 00:31:54,315
it's time we paid a call on Breckinridge,
Rathbone, Meyers and Forsythe.
360
00:32:10,942 --> 00:32:12,876
Hey, Pinks.
361
00:32:14,212 --> 00:32:16,271
Hey, man, it's Elmo.
362
00:32:38,970 --> 00:32:42,736
Well, two hours, nine interviews
and a common consensus.
363
00:32:42,807 --> 00:32:45,071
Quincy Forsythe
was a prince among men.
364
00:32:45,143 --> 00:32:49,409
He was a paragon of integrity,
and he hadn't an enemy in the world.
365
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:52,939
He had one.
Miss Johnson's husband.
366
00:32:53,018 --> 00:32:56,454
Her husband?
Where did you get that?
Forsythe's secretary.
367
00:32:56,521 --> 00:32:58,921
She says he only played around
with married stuff.
368
00:32:58,990 --> 00:33:02,426
It was a cardinal rule...
no widows, no divorc�es, no maidens.
369
00:33:02,494 --> 00:33:04,985
And no complications.
That was the idea, anyway.
370
00:33:05,063 --> 00:33:10,194
So you're a bored, suburban husband
looking to connect with some bored,
suburban housewife.
371
00:33:10,268 --> 00:33:14,364
But being a big-time Manhattan barrister,
you have to keep a low profile.
372
00:33:16,274 --> 00:33:21,610
I guess we better go talk to someone
at Mr. Forsythe's favorite watering hole...
the Time Out.
373
00:33:35,894 --> 00:33:37,953
[Horn Honking]
374
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,226
Yeah, I remember that one.
Hey, how could I forget?
375
00:33:45,303 --> 00:33:47,237
She was something else, let me tell you.
376
00:33:47,305 --> 00:33:50,240
Just as hungry as them,
uh, if you know what I mean.
377
00:33:50,308 --> 00:33:52,572
Sat through four days
of steady propositions,
378
00:33:52,644 --> 00:33:55,306
bobbing and weaving,
before she decided to score.
379
00:33:56,314 --> 00:33:58,373
Must've taken.
She hasn't been back since.
380
00:33:58,450 --> 00:34:02,147
Is this the dude?
Yeah, that's him.
381
00:34:02,220 --> 00:34:05,712
You know, funny thing...
some joker was in here a couple of weeks ago,
382
00:34:05,790 --> 00:34:08,190
asking about the same blonde.
383
00:34:08,259 --> 00:34:10,523
[Kojak]
Can you describe him?
384
00:34:10,595 --> 00:34:15,328
[Huffs, Chuckles]
Hey, women I remember, dad, but, uh, men?
385
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,563
Well, they're, uh... they'rejust like
suits and ties to me, you know?
386
00:34:21,139 --> 00:34:23,130
Just sit tight. Just sit.
387
00:34:24,142 --> 00:34:26,542
We located the cab driver,
but he's not gonna do us much good...
388
00:34:26,611 --> 00:34:28,704
unless we can give him somebody
he can take a look at.
389
00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:30,873
Uh, hold it.
All right. Ballistics follow-up.
390
00:34:30,949 --> 00:34:33,042
The slug that cooled Forsythe,
uh, matches the one...
391
00:34:33,118 --> 00:34:35,951
dug out of a man wounded in
a liquor store holdup six months ago.
392
00:34:37,288 --> 00:34:40,052
That's just what we needed.
Hey, just trying to make your day.
393
00:34:40,125 --> 00:34:42,787
Get me everything you can
on that package store shooting,
and make it fast.
394
00:34:42,861 --> 00:34:44,522
No sooner said...
395
00:34:44,596 --> 00:34:47,064
It's not tin foil. It's not cellophane.
396
00:34:47,132 --> 00:34:49,566
It's a piece of jewelry.
397
00:34:49,634 --> 00:34:53,468
A pendant, a broach, an earring?
Well, what the hell happened to it?
398
00:34:56,641 --> 00:34:58,074
Stavros!
Yo.!
399
00:34:58,143 --> 00:35:00,077
Come here.
400
00:35:00,145 --> 00:35:02,841
All right, you've had five years in Burglary,
what's your opinion?
401
00:35:04,416 --> 00:35:06,850
Mid-range quality.
402
00:35:06,918 --> 00:35:09,682
It's not Cartier's,
but it could be traceable.
403
00:35:10,922 --> 00:35:14,517
Why don't you have it blown up some more,
circulate it through the jewelry trade
and see what shakes?
404
00:35:14,592 --> 00:35:17,584
Thank you very much.
[Telephone Ringing]
405
00:35:19,664 --> 00:35:22,690
You can put my name
at the top of your Christmas list.
406
00:35:22,767 --> 00:35:25,327
Guess what we found in the shower drain?
407
00:35:26,938 --> 00:35:30,374
A redhead.
Prince, you're a pussycat.
408
00:35:31,609 --> 00:35:34,043
[Hangs Up Phone]
All right, Nick.
409
00:35:34,112 --> 00:35:37,206
I want you to assemble
the doorman at the Mayfair Towers,
410
00:35:37,282 --> 00:35:40,581
the cab driver,
the bartender at the Time Out.
411
00:35:40,652 --> 00:35:43,485
Put them in a room
with a departmental artist...
412
00:35:43,555 --> 00:35:45,750
and come up
with a version of Miss Johnson...
413
00:35:45,824 --> 00:35:47,815
a redheaded version.
414
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:50,420
Right.
415
00:36:03,741 --> 00:36:07,837
Hello, Joanna? Now, listen, do you still have
the jewel box that the broach came in?
416
00:36:07,912 --> 00:36:11,177
All right. Get it.
I need the name and address
of the place where I purchased it.
417
00:36:11,249 --> 00:36:12,876
Don't you remember that?
418
00:36:12,951 --> 00:36:16,512
No, I don't remember.
It was West 45th Street, I think.
419
00:36:16,588 --> 00:36:19,148
It's been six years.
Just get it, okay?
420
00:36:19,224 --> 00:36:22,853
- What are you gonna do?
- Do? What I have to do.
421
00:36:22,927 --> 00:36:25,361
Some place there's my name
on a... on a sales record.
422
00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:27,193
I have to destroy it.
423
00:36:36,441 --> 00:36:38,875
I was just checking the hospital
to find out about Olney.
424
00:36:38,943 --> 00:36:41,503
Oh, yeah. Give him my best.
What did you say?
425
00:36:41,579 --> 00:36:46,141
Kornbluth Jewelers. 337 West 45th.
426
00:36:46,217 --> 00:36:48,151
Ah, you say he's taking a nap?
Well, that's all right.
427
00:36:48,219 --> 00:36:51,211
Uh, no, don't bother him. I'll call later.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
428
00:36:51,289 --> 00:36:53,951
That package store holdup?
Here's the report.
429
00:36:54,025 --> 00:36:56,721
Prime suspect, a Foster Bridges.
430
00:36:56,794 --> 00:36:58,887
There's a yellow sheet on him
the size of Delaware.
431
00:36:58,963 --> 00:37:01,056
The victim failed
to make a positive I.D.,
432
00:37:01,132 --> 00:37:04,158
and since the arresting officer
couldn't produce the weapon,
the case was dropped.
433
00:37:05,236 --> 00:37:07,170
Well, then, uh,
Bridges is our boy, huh?
434
00:37:07,238 --> 00:37:09,536
[Chuckles] Well, he can't be
in two places at once, can he?
435
00:37:09,607 --> 00:37:12,542
And one place we know he was
when Forsythe was being killed...
436
00:37:12,610 --> 00:37:14,908
was in the Tombs,
sweating out a BandE.
437
00:37:14,979 --> 00:37:18,437
But the gun wasn't at the Tombs,
and a piece doesn't care who uses it.
438
00:37:18,516 --> 00:37:20,507
Now, look, I'm going down
to the Tombs.
439
00:37:20,585 --> 00:37:23,281
You stick around here
and bear down on that sketch
of Miss Johnson,
440
00:37:23,354 --> 00:37:25,447
who's a redhead.
Right.
441
00:37:26,925 --> 00:37:30,452
Hey, Nick! I was just down
in the morgue checking on a John Doe.
442
00:37:30,528 --> 00:37:33,759
Yeah.
You know who else was there?
Your pal Pinky.
443
00:37:45,677 --> 00:37:48,043
Go ahead, Foster.
444
00:37:48,112 --> 00:37:50,239
Go on. Be my guest.
445
00:38:12,403 --> 00:38:14,667
And now for the tab, right?
446
00:38:23,915 --> 00:38:26,076
I ain't making no promises, baby.
447
00:38:27,085 --> 00:38:30,111
It's like I'm, uh, still studying on it.
448
00:38:30,188 --> 00:38:35,626
A nice private cell,
a little sweet-talk to the D.A.,
a speedy swift trial,
449
00:38:35,693 --> 00:38:38,355
and 60 days from now
you're back out on the street, huh?
450
00:38:38,429 --> 00:38:41,023
Kojak,
451
00:38:41,099 --> 00:38:45,934
you know, that's some
heavy, heavy necktie you got.
452
00:38:46,004 --> 00:38:51,965
I mean, a cat on the loose could
cop an awful lot ofheavy, heavy trade
with a tie like that.
453
00:38:52,043 --> 00:38:54,375
Foster, you drive a hard bargain.
454
00:39:05,623 --> 00:39:07,557
Here.
455
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:09,957
- He didn't waste that ofay.
- Who didn't?
456
00:39:10,028 --> 00:39:12,895
He's hustling cars, you dig?
457
00:39:12,964 --> 00:39:14,898
The cannon's just for status.
458
00:39:14,966 --> 00:39:17,662
I mean, like, ain't no uptown mama
gonna fat-mouth...
459
00:39:17,735 --> 00:39:21,136
a brother who's packing a magnum
under his vines.
460
00:39:21,205 --> 00:39:23,503
Who, Foster? Who?
461
00:39:23,574 --> 00:39:25,565
What was that name again, Lieutenant?
462
00:39:27,078 --> 00:39:29,069
Burgess Venable?
463
00:39:30,081 --> 00:39:31,639
Right.
464
00:39:34,085 --> 00:39:36,349
Where's Ferro?
He went to get something to eat.
465
00:39:36,421 --> 00:39:39,185
Hey, Theo, don't worry about it.
Christmas is coming.
What does that mean?
466
00:39:39,257 --> 00:39:41,521
We're gonna take a collection,
get you some ties.
467
00:39:41,592 --> 00:39:44,527
[Men Chuckling]
468
00:40:03,448 --> 00:40:05,382
Were they sure, Weiner?
469
00:40:05,450 --> 00:40:08,715
Well, they weren't the best eyewitnesses
I've ever dealt with.
470
00:40:08,786 --> 00:40:12,222
It seemed fairly certain at the beginning,
but when Ferro pinned them down...
471
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:15,384
All right. Have them run off
and distributed.
472
00:40:15,460 --> 00:40:17,451
Okay.
473
00:40:18,463 --> 00:40:20,795
Here are the yellow pages
on Burgess Venable.
474
00:40:20,865 --> 00:40:22,799
Dig those priors.
475
00:40:29,974 --> 00:40:32,238
Crocker!
476
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:34,471
Emilio Weiner just left.
Get him back here.
477
00:40:36,814 --> 00:40:39,647
Dispatch a squad car to Mayfair Towers...
478
00:40:39,717 --> 00:40:41,548
and collect that, uh, doorman, Ingram.
479
00:40:41,619 --> 00:40:43,553
And one more thing.
480
00:40:46,657 --> 00:40:49,990
I wanna see Nick Ferro's work schedule
for the past three months.
481
00:40:50,061 --> 00:40:52,291
Theo, Nick Ferro?
482
00:40:56,667 --> 00:40:58,692
Light a candle, baby.
483
00:40:59,837 --> 00:41:01,702
A get-well card won't do.
484
00:41:19,757 --> 00:41:23,784
That's her. That's her to a "T."
I told him the nose was all wrong,
but that Detective Ferro...
485
00:41:23,861 --> 00:41:26,694
All right, Mr. Ingram. Thank you very much
for coming down. I appreciate it.
486
00:41:30,968 --> 00:41:33,163
It was the silencer.
I should have picked up then.
487
00:41:34,238 --> 00:41:36,468
What?
Well, there was no way
he could have known.
488
00:41:36,541 --> 00:41:39,408
He hadn't seen the ballistics report.
489
00:41:39,477 --> 00:41:42,571
But I figured when he mentioned it,
after 16 years on the force,
490
00:41:42,647 --> 00:41:45,013
a man's entitled to an educated guess.
491
00:41:46,317 --> 00:41:48,717
There were other signals too.
I was just slow in tuning in.
492
00:41:48,786 --> 00:41:50,549
A day? You call that slow?
493
00:41:50,621 --> 00:41:55,558
Oh, Frank, it hurts.
I pinned the gold on him myself.
494
00:41:55,626 --> 00:41:59,960
Theo, don't gouge yourself.
He kept it polished.
495
00:42:00,031 --> 00:42:02,022
Mm-hmm. Until last night.
496
00:42:02,099 --> 00:42:05,000
You're that sure of it, huh?
That sure?
497
00:42:05,069 --> 00:42:06,798
Ah, look, Frank.
498
00:42:06,871 --> 00:42:11,865
Nick's past duty schedule,
the exact dates that Forsythe
spent over at his apartment...
499
00:42:11,943 --> 00:42:16,346
For the past three months,
they coincide exactly with the times
that Nick was pulling night duty.
500
00:42:16,414 --> 00:42:18,348
After the package store shooting,
501
00:42:18,416 --> 00:42:21,544
Foster Bridges unloads his Browning
on Burgess Venable.
502
00:42:21,619 --> 00:42:25,885
He warns him that the piece is hot,
but Venable doesn't care.
He only wants it for show anyway.
503
00:42:25,957 --> 00:42:30,087
Two months ago, Venable is collared
on a morals charge, later released.
504
00:42:30,161 --> 00:42:33,562
Arresting officer,
our hero, Nick Ferro.
505
00:43:09,634 --> 00:43:12,068
No mention here
of any weapons confiscation.
506
00:43:12,136 --> 00:43:15,196
Check! And there should have been.
507
00:43:15,273 --> 00:43:19,209
You know, Foster said that Venable
was so in love with that cannon
that he even slept with it.
508
00:43:19,277 --> 00:43:21,643
There's just one thing
wrong with that, Lieutenant.
509
00:43:21,712 --> 00:43:24,545
Ferro's alibi for the time
of the Forsythe job.
510
00:43:24,615 --> 00:43:26,549
He phoned in a drug collar
10 minutes before.
511
00:43:26,617 --> 00:43:28,608
Are you positive of that, Sergeant?
512
00:43:28,686 --> 00:43:31,154
Captain McNeil, I logged it myself.
513
00:43:31,222 --> 00:43:33,554
Ferro needed an airtight alibi.
514
00:43:33,624 --> 00:43:36,149
What could be sweeter?
I want to interview that junkie.
515
00:43:36,227 --> 00:43:38,161
No way.
516
00:43:38,229 --> 00:43:40,959
Pinky Hollister was so happy
that he was released,
517
00:43:41,032 --> 00:43:42,966
he went home and O.D.'d.
518
00:43:43,034 --> 00:43:45,901
Oh. Did you see the autopsy?
519
00:43:45,970 --> 00:43:48,063
No.
520
00:43:52,143 --> 00:43:54,577
This is Lieutenant Kojak,
Manhattan South.
521
00:43:54,645 --> 00:43:56,636
Let me speak to Agajanian.
522
00:43:58,249 --> 00:44:00,240
Hello, Doc?
523
00:44:00,318 --> 00:44:02,513
You processed an O.D. Today,
name's Hollister?
524
00:44:02,586 --> 00:44:04,679
What's his story?
525
00:44:06,257 --> 00:44:08,748
Yeah, it figures. Thanks.
526
00:44:10,594 --> 00:44:12,858
Eighty-seven percent pure.
527
00:44:12,930 --> 00:44:15,262
As lethal as a cyanide pellet.
528
00:44:16,934 --> 00:44:19,869
Now, what's a nickel-bag hype
doing with uncut horse, huh?
529
00:44:19,937 --> 00:44:22,030
Or a street pusher, for that matter?
530
00:44:22,106 --> 00:44:24,870
Only an importer
handles the product before it's cut...
531
00:44:26,610 --> 00:44:30,876
or a cop who's in
on a high-level bust,
532
00:44:30,948 --> 00:44:35,385
like the Pelegrini collar,
which occurred this past summer
with Olney and Ferro.
533
00:44:35,453 --> 00:44:37,546
So that makes it two homicides.
534
00:44:37,621 --> 00:44:40,556
Exactly, which explains the piece of jewelry,
535
00:44:41,692 --> 00:44:44,388
explains Joanna's uptightness,
536
00:44:44,462 --> 00:44:47,625
even the precise time
of Forsythe's murder,
537
00:44:47,698 --> 00:44:50,826
which for Ferro's purposes
had to occur at the exact time...
538
00:44:50,901 --> 00:44:53,734
that he and his partner were
the next up on the assignment roster.
539
00:44:53,804 --> 00:44:55,795
So he could catch his own case.
540
00:44:56,974 --> 00:45:00,410
The only thing he didn't anticipate
was Olney's appendicitis.
541
00:45:01,579 --> 00:45:03,911
Circumstantial, Theo, all of it.
542
00:45:05,082 --> 00:45:07,243
I know it's circumstantial.
543
00:45:08,919 --> 00:45:11,080
But it won't be
once I've spoken to Burgess Venable.
544
00:45:11,155 --> 00:45:13,146

stopped there, Nick.
