You think the failure
Of the witness to appear

Will blow the case
Against you?

And how long an adjournment
Has the judge granted?

- mr. Dumpke...
- look at him, frank, will ya?

A fat fish wigglin' and jigglin'
His way off our line.

Maybe o'brien just got scared.

Maybe he thought
Somebody was following him.

Maybe he'll call any minute and
Apologize for not showing up.

He's just a little nebbish.

Gotta be frightened
Testifying against dumpke.

Well, I'm scared, frank.

Scared that dumpke's
Gonna walk free.

I don't like barracudas who
Shake down public officials

And then kill them
When they come clean.

They just located
Mr. Michael o'brien

20 minutes ago...Dead.

He went to the store last
Night and on his way home

Somebody laid a pipe across
The side of his skull

And dragged him in here.

Yeah, no money was taken,
Lieutenant,

So maybe it was
Some kind of a thrill killing?

Gentlemen, six months ago
This conscientious citizen

Inadvertently witnessed
An argument

Between joe dumpke and
The late councilman kane.

Now, dumpke says he never
Even met the councilman.

So forget about the muggings
And the thrills.

This death was dumpke's
Salvation and I hate him for it.

All right, where do
We go from here?

Well, we got a one week
Adjournment...

For whatever that's worth.

- I suppose we could get lucky.
- oh, and how's that?

I mean, we find a typewritten
Confession by dumpke

That fell out of his pocket and
We didn't see it anywhere,

Is that it?

Come on, there is
An arnie saxler

Somewhere out there.

He could be a witness
Against dumpke.

Excuse me, lieutenant,
We did find one black glove.

Now it could have belonged
To the killer.

It's on its way to the lab.

Could have belonged
To the killer?

We're clutching at straws
On this one.

That's the only thing
I know for sure.

And as for arnie saxler,
Well, look...

We've not had one clue where
He is in the last 3 months.

Which suggests to me,
Very strongly,

Dumpke terminated
His employment in his mob

The same way he terminated
Poor mr. O'brien down there.

♪ oh, I'm back home
And I feel blues ♪

♪ and I took off
My wanderin' shoes ♪

♪ yes, there's living
That you must try ♪

Some day you'll cry ♪

♪ oh, it's a long way
From times square ♪

A long way from times square ♪

Hmm, arnold saxler,
New york city.

2 baker 12 to base.

Go ahead, 2 baker 12.

I have a 390 d,
Possible t 380 suspect.

What was the color of that truck
That was hit last night?

If chief washburn's
Around he'll remember.

10-23.

Okay, arnold b. Saxler...

Age 32...

358 east 49th street...

2 baker 12, the color of truck
That was hit was light blue.

- then I got him.
- 10-4.

10-4.

Were you watching
That jury today?

I mean, they want
To nail dumpke so bad,

They just need
A little more help.

O'brien would have sewn up
That case for sure.

Yeah?

Captain.
Uh, lieutenant, bci called.

Apparently crocker filed
A hold card with them

And their information unit
On one arnold saxler.

I'd ask crocker,
But he's not back yet.

Who's arnold saxler?

When our dead witness,
Mr. O'brien,

Heard kane and dumpke
Arguing on the street,

Saxler chased him.

Saxler was dumpke's driver.
He disappeared.

Yeah, well, he just popped up
In santa flora, nevada.

He's being held on a
Hit-and-run, leaving the scene,

And they're checking out
His new york license,

Any warrants against him, etc.

Frank, saxler's testimony
Could send dumpke up the hudson.

Maybe he even saw the murder.

Saxler's testimony could
Send him under the hudson,

And a lot faster.

He'd be crazy to testify
Against dumpke.

In his shoes, I wouldn't.

Yeah?
Well, listen.

Arnie, suppose we include you

With dumpke
In the murder charges?

You can't make that stick.

And so I'll make it look
Like it's not sticking

Because we made a deal.

My stoolies let dumpke know you
Plan to testify against him

How long before
You get hit, arnie?

One day, two days?

So?
And if I do testify,

That gets me killed too.

Oh, no, baby, you get on the
Stand and send dumpke to attica

And the guys who move
Into his territory

Will probably send you champagne

And give you a kiss
On both cheeks.

You'll be a hero,
And I'll see to it.

Now you help me or
I'll never get off your back.

All right, all right.

See?

You know, you can be a very
Intimidating personality?

All right, so we'll get
A subpoena for saxler.

Nevada has to turn him over
To us, anyway,

Under that
Witness reciprocity agreement.

Stavros, if you please,

Get the chief out there
On the phone.

We have to send 2 men.
Maybe vine and crocker.

Oh, no, no.
No, no, no.

If you're going to convince
Arnie that you

Personally will railroad him
Into big trouble

If he doesn't testify,
Then you go out there.

You play the big bully
Lieutenant

Who drops everything for him.

You're obsessed.
You'll stop at nothing.

There's a weekend coming up.

Dektor can sit in
For me until then.

I'll take, uh...

Crocker!

Yeah, I know, I know.
I saw stavros.

Mcneil.

Yeah, just a second.

Chief washburn
Coming in on the line.

Yeah, chief washburn,

This is lieutenant kojak,
Manhattan south detectives.

It's about arnold saxler.

Manhattan?
Well, uh, it's a borough.

A borough?

It's a part of new york city,
What can I tell you?

The borough of manhattan,
Like that.

Yes, sir, well, the problem is,
Can you hold him a few days?

We need him as a witness
In a murder case.

Yeah, just a second.

He'll stall around
For about 48 hours.

Can we get a subpoena that fast?

For sure.

Not to offend
Your western hospitality, chief,

But in relation to
The borough of manhattan,

Where is santa flora?

You just fly into reno,
Rent yourself a car,

And then you got about
A two hours drive east.

Santa flora.
Mm-hmm.

Sure thing, lieutenant.
Count on it.

- who are you callin', saxler?
- my friends back home in cory.

Well, you said
You're going to keep my car,

So I gotta get a lift.

Don't worry,
I'll make it collect.

You tell 'em
That you'll be needin'

No lift for quite a while.

I got enough for bail.
Cash!

What is this?
What are you talking about?

We're holding you.
Professional courtesy to nypd.

They're getting a subpoena
On you, saxler.

Some lieutenant wants you
On the stand back there.

Bad.

Yeah, uh, I want to make
A collect call to cory, nevada.

To the police station,
Person-to-person,

To deputy chief b.J. Hawker.

This is arnie saxler.

Don't worry, he'll take it.
He better.

♪ oh, it's a long way
From times square ♪

♪ and I left her dream
Lying there ♪

♪ but there must be
Someone for me ♪

♪ someone who cares

42 hours.
I mean, not even 42 hours,

And you said you'd hold him
For 2 full days.

Lieutenant kojak,
At the time I spoke to you

I didn't know
He was a fugitive,

Wanted by another
Nevada police force.

Now I cannot hold a prisoner
When a far more serious offense

Has been committed elsewhere
In the county.

What offense was this, chief?

Well, the night before
He drove up here,

Got drunk and hit that car,

He robbed the grocery store
Down there in cory.

Their deputy chief
Picked him up here,

Oh, about 2:00 this morning.

They only got 3 men...
Chief peck, deputy chief hawker,

And any volunteer
They can pin a badge on.

Well, cory, I gather,
Makes santa flora

Look like the big avocado
Around here, right?

Yeah, lieutenant,
We do cory jokes all the time.

Like, um, it gets
So hot in cory,

You can fry an egg
In the street.

Can't fry 2 eggs.
Too small for that.

That's hysterical, chief.
Now would it be big enough

For a teensie-weensie
Little dot on this map?

Uh, yes, sir.
Let's see right here.

Yeah, now you drive
Right out this road here.

It's the only way
To get there

Until the freeway they're
Building cuts through there.

What's your aim out there?

Well, my aim is to talk them
Into seeing

A murder case in new york
Is a little more urgent

Than their grocery story.

Them desert rats?
Oh, you gotta be kidding.

Why they tell me folks in cory
Wouldn't pay a penny

To watch an ant
Stack a ton of hay,

Much less worry about
Anything in new york.

Well, I wish you luck,
But don't count on it much.

They don't generally
Take kindly to outsiders.

Well, tell me how
A mobster like saxler

Hits on cory, nevada
To hide out in?

Well, that's where
Saxler grew up.

That's his hometown.

Yep, country boy
Just came back home

To be with friends,
That's all.

The heat's right...

For rattlesnakes
And desert rats.

Oh, I see.
Food, drink...Massage.

Girls, girls, girls.

Know something, crocker?

I didn't know 42nd street
Extended this far.

In a way it looks like
Times square too,

Doesn't it, sure.

I got no room,
If that's what you're here for.

I beg your pardon?

How come you vegas hooligans

Hide your pea-shooters
Under your armpits?

Oh, madame, we're not
From las vegas.

We're police officers
From manhattan.

That's new york city.

I'm detective crocker
And this is lieutenant kojak.

Weed's my name.
Lily weed.

But don't you make
No jokes about it.

I've heard them all.

You're from new york.

Well, what the heck
Brought you out here?

Looking for
The chief of police.

And maybe
The local magistrate.

Quinlan's his name.
Howard quinlan.

He's okay, and the sheriff,
He's okay too.

Joe peck.

You better get yourself
A room while I got one.

Oh, them highway workers,
They come down here nights

And they grab
Every bed I've got.

Come on, kojak.

Miss weed, if anybody calls,
I'll be back about six.

You folks know each other?

Well, they're looking
For the same people.

I'm lieutenant kojak,
And this is detective crocker

- from new york city.
- hi, I'm penny rozelle.

She's a lawyer, a lady lawyer.
I like that.

Well, actually,
I'm a public defender.

I just came up from santa flora
To talk to my defendant,

See what other trouble
He got himself into.

Arnold saxler?

Well, how many defendants
Can there be

In the town the size
Of one fried egg?

You know, miss rozelle,

Maybe we can talk together
About your client.

I need saxler in new york
To testify at a trial for us.

I don't know too much
About the situation yet.

I'm going to meet judge quinlan
And chief peck soon

And I'm afraid that anything
That my client has to say to me

Is privileged information.

But I sure wouldn't mind having
Some company for supper.

Sure, sure.

Mr. Jensen, I don't care
How many acres you own.

I can't put acres
In the bank.

Now this is $1400 lost
In an honest game of roulette.

Excuse me a minute.

Right.

I am gonna knock
With three.

- three?
- that's right.

Maybe I got layoffs.
Hold it.

Deputy hawker.

Listen, hawker, there are
A couple of strangers in town.

Fine.

Right.
Two cops from new york.

Gotta be wantin'
To know about you.

Well, that's their tough luck,
Not mine.

Suppose they pop in here?

You better get back in there.
We can play through the bars.

You still listenin' in, verna?

Just checkin' the circuits,
B.J., that's all.

Well, make sure you check

Everything coming out
Of the motel

And let me know right off.

I'll get you the parties' names
In a few minutes.

Here you are, now.

- oh, thank you.
- I'll get 'em.

It's the first cabin
Out back here.

Excuse me, when you're
Finished, that's my pen.

We just signed in
And forgot my pen.

Finders keepers.

Finders keepers,
You gotta be kidding.

What is this, nursery school?
That's my pen.

- hey, pal, the pen.
- don't you touch me.

Whatever turns you on.
Losers weepers.

Can I get you something
Like stamps, some paper?

- that's fine.
- fine, huh?

Thank you.

Well?

Now, as I was saying,
Mr. Quinlan,

I am penny rozelle.

Public defender's office
In santa flora?

Trying to catch up with
A defendant, mr. Saxler?

Well, you don't look like
No lawyer to me.

Does that help ya in court
Or hinder ya?

Haven't been in court
That much to know yet.

What do you think?

Well, I think anybody
Who shells out taxes

So you can practice law
On arnie saxler

Ought to get paid back

The day you hang out
Your shingle

Looking for a hundred an hour.
That's what I think.

Well, maybe I'll never
Do that, mr. Quinlan.

Maybe I'll just be a lifetime
Sucker for the underdog.

I'm a woman.
It's easy.

Excuse me.
Chief peck?

Yeah.

I'm lieutenant kojak.

I'm with the new york
Police department

And this is detective crocker.

New york?
What borough would that be?

Borough?
Manhattan, you've heard of it?

- of course.
- what can I tell ya?

I better go check out
These new yorkers personal.

Never fear, arnie.
B.J.'s here.

I got me a lieutenant of
Detectives from new york city,

Making what a year,
About 20, 30 thousand?

You know something, chief?

Oranges are a quarter apiece
In new york.

Apples...Priceless.

Yeah, well anyhow,
I got me you

And I got me that lady lawyer
All the way out here

Just to try to get a little
Operator like arnie

Off the hook.

Now kojak,
Arnie busted in here,

And he swiped some morphine

That judge quinlan had in
The refrigerator for doc ewing.

And he don't deny it.

It doesn't make any difference
If he confessed.

He still has a right
To a defense.

That's the gol-durnest thing
I ever heard.

It's a basic principle of law!

I'm sorry, your honor.

Listen, mr. Quinlan...
Justice quinlan,

Postmaster...Your honor...

And victim quinlan.

I'm not trying to get
Arnie saxler off the hook.

I just want to borrow him.

Well, and since he's been
Arrested for a felony,

It's up to you, judge, to...

Decide whether
To let me have him or not.

His testimony could end
The career of a major criminal.

Murderer, extortionist...

We take our eyes
Off of arnie for one second,

He's gonna run.
I grew up with him.

We was best of friends.
I know him!

Lily weed told us
That arnie's got himself

A good set-up
Over at the maverick.

Why would he run away from that?

To stay out of jail
If the rap was long enough.

Now you know, howard, there was
Nine shots of morphine stolen

And I only found wrappings
For three of them

In the trunk of his car.

Now if I can just find one
Person he gave a shot to

That's supplying, and that's
A couple years, right?

Right.

Arnie's not comin' back here
To do no two years on the farm.

If we let him go,
We're gonna lose him.

Somehow, I know it.

Why isn't he gonna jump bail
And take off on ya anyhow?

Bail on arnie saxler
Is 50,000.

That's outrageous!
For what he's charged with?

Oh, mr. Quinlan,
I request a mo...

Request denied.
Hearing adjourned.

I don't suppose saxler
Might get a speedy trial

And be judged innocent,
Do you, your honor?

Kojak, this case
Is open and shut.

- why?
- why?

Well, come on back here
And take a look.

He forced the back door
From the outside.

Well, anybody could
Have jimmied this.

Well, now, lookie here.

Just makes all our hard work
Look so simple.

Well, now, of course
There was another lock.

Here it is.
Look.

That's evidence?
In an unlocked safe?

Well, I gotta get in and out
For stamps, don't I?

Of course, you've dusted
That for prints, huh?

Yep, pulled
The right index and thumb.

Matches arnie's.

The snips he used
Was in the trunk of the car.

Uh, what time
Was the burglary?

Well, I came by here
Friday night about 9:30.

Saw the lock cut off
And the door half open.

Oh.
In a few short hours you, uh,

You took fingerprints
And you pinned it on arnie.

Isn't that something?
I'm impressed.

Look, I saw him running
Outside across the field.

Then when I found out
It was morphine was gone,

I said, "Your old buddy
Sure picked himself up

Some bad habits
When he was in new york."

Yeah, well, I'd like
At least to talk to arnie,

You know, maybe try to get
A little help from him.

Since I've come such a long way.

Well, now, we'll just have
To think about that.

You stayin' over at lily's?

Yes.
Crocker...Penny...

Uh, I'll be waiting
For your call.

Hawker, maybe you
Just better follow up

If you say arnie
Was selling that morphine.

Read that last number
Back to me.

246 abl.

Oh...

Now what's the point
Of all this?

Frank, I'm with
A lovely lady, you know,

And she's been keeping track
Of every car from vegas

That's been out here
In the last three months.

The mob or somebody's trying to
Put this flyspeck on the map.

Yeah, gambling, good times,
Naughty ladies, you name it.

I just wanna know
The names involved.

I didn't send you out there

To solve some other town's
Problems.

Well, I think cory sees this
As a gold mine, not a problem.

Well, I see it
As a problem.

When people start trying
To bully you, I just...

Yeah, anyhow, frank, I need
Another couple of days.

Why?
They're not gonna let

Saxler out of the state
Because of that drug robbery.

Frank, what drug robbery?

These people here,
You know what they do?

They shoot at signs,
They drive off the road,

They open a bottle of beer
With a pair of pliers,

They burp a couple of times,

But they don't know
Diddlywinks about morphine.

There's no way saxler
Shot three tubes,

Drove 80 miles
To santa flora,

Got drunk, etc., here.

Hiya, captain.

No way they lifted prints
Off the lock.

Anyhow, if he wanted drugs

He could have gotten them
From his vegas partner.

- put kojak on.
- yeah, lieutenant.

Yeah, frank, if I can prove
This whole robbery

Is a set-up by arnie's friends

To protect him
From our subpoena,

I'll take my case to the county

And try to get the charges
Dropped.

Now we got 3 days left
On the adjournment, right?

All right, might as well
Make use of them.

But keep me posted
And be careful.

I mean, you did see bad day
at black rock,didn't ya?

Loved it.
Spencer tracy, right?

And he only had one arm.
We'll do fine.

Talk to you tomorrow, frank.
And, like that, ciao.

There an extension
On this line?

Well, if verna's
On the switchboard,

I suppose there's no telling
Who she switched in.

Huh.

Can you run 'em out legal?

Not unless they get
Into some kind of trouble.

Well, I think oop and I
Should be able to arrange that.

I'm lending you
This deputy badge.

Don't try and steal it
Or tell me you lost it.

Gimme back my magazine.

Hey, sutton.
Thanks, man.

We'll handle everything,
Partner.

Don't worry.

Oh, uh, excuse me, captain.

What is it, stavros?

On that black glove we found

At the scene of o'brien's
Murder...

- you got a lab report?
- yeah.

There are traces of rust on it
From the pipe.

The murderer wore it for sure.

Furthermore, the killer
Sweated enough

For them to get
A blood typing on him.

He's ab negative.

That's something to go on.

Yeah, well, I got more,
Captain.

I got more.

The gloves come in from italy.

Number two, there's only one
Store on 59th street

That handles 'em exclusive.

And among the more recent
Credit card purchasers

We have on mr. A.C. Klinger.

Klinger.
I know that name.

He's a button man.

He moved out to las vegas
A couple of years ago,

And from what I heard

He's working for dumpke's
Brother out there.

Of course.
Dumpke's brother.

One brother does
The other a favor.

He sends in a hit man
To take out a witness.

Where's klinger now, if we can
Prove he's the right blood type.

I got saperstein out checking
All the midtown hotels, captain.

Good.

- oh, uh, captain.
- yeah?

The lieutenant,
How's he making out in nevada?

Getting arnie saxler
Back here to testify

Is turning out to be
The major problem of the year.

He's got three days
To clinch this

Or the trial goes to jury as is,

And as is
Just isn't good enough.

Yes, we have no bananas.

- klinger's in room 306.
- yeah?

All right, you go on up
To his room

- and I'll go around the back.
- okay.

Oops, wait a minute.

Forget it.
There he is now.

Hold it, klinger.
Police!

Hey, you saw it.
You're cops.

It wasn't my fault!

- he's dead.
- yeah.

Well, if we're gonna catch
Dumpke now,

It's all up to the lieutenant.

Hey, you try and get
Photostats of the booking sheet,

Notarized statements
Fro the arresting officer.

Chief washburn, you know,

He looks like a man
Who'll cooperate.

Right, be careful.

I'll see you
Tomorrow morning, okay?

Okay, kid.

All you ever heard out here,
Once upon a time,

Was the wind, yaw.
And a few chickens cacklin'.

Oh, it was a nice
Kind of lonely.

Hey lily, how come you
Ever leased the bar

To a punk like arnie?

Aw, well, I was
Getting old and tired.

And I had no idea
He was running around

With them punks in new york
Like you said.

Tell him about
This vegas hooligan.

He tells me that
Unless I give him

A lease to the motel,

Some drunk might
Come after me.

Or "It's easy to break
A hip at your age," he says.

Oh, like I don't know it.

You know, lily,
The thought of anyone

So much as breaking your heart

Brings out my wyatt earp
Syndrome full force.

Lieutenant.
Let me buy you a drink.

Hear what's happening
In new york.

That's him!
That's sutton!

Let's size him up, crocker.

We're on our way, pardner.

Excuse me, think I could have

One of those little
Black cigars of yours?

Mmm...

Take 2 baby.
Lily, who loves ya?

I'm fred sutton.
Kojak...Crocker...

Desert grapevine,
Can't beat it.

So, let me show you how we're
Shapin' up the place, huh?

Well, what'll it be?
Margarita, daiquiri?

Olsen here's famous
For his banana daiquiris.

Oh yeah?
Anything without a banana, huh?

A bottle of beer.

Friend of mine, understand?

Oh, yeah, I understand.
Looks like you got

Everything goin'
Your way around here.

You know it.

When that freeway
Cuts through here,

This town...
It's gonna be boomin'.

Three bars,
What's going on?

Three bars,
That's 50 bucks.

I ain't got
No 50 bucks here.

You wanna complain,
Complain outside.

I wanna get paid,
That's what I want.

That's the sweet potato
Who ripped off my pen.

Yeah, well, forget it.
I'll buy you another.

Hey, mister, you saw me.

I didn't stick no quarters
In my pocket, right?

Sorry, mac, I was watching
The young lady go by.

- you're lyin'.
- hey, wait a minute, pal.

Crocker...

Maybe you think
I'm lyin', junior.

Hey, if you just admit
To ripping off my pen

Then I won't call
Anybody a liar.

Oh, come on, buddy.
Why don't you just

Take the guy outside
And forget it?

I don't take
Orders from you,

And no guns in here,
So hand it over.

Well, you see,
I'm a police officer,

So don't worry about it.

He's a deputy.

You gotta give him your gun
If he tells you to.

Well, hold it, buster.

One thing we don't want
To do is fight.

Keep your head up!

Deposit.

Waste!

Finders keepers!

What in the world
Is going on here?

These two picked
A fight with oop.

Why, you lyin' little cheat.

Now, he's kinfolk,
So you just shut your mouth.

Okay, it's all over.

Somebody clean up this place,
Let's go.

Outside.

I gave you the badge.
Put it on.

Poke a little hole in it
With the pin,

And then you kind of
Slip it through...

Assume the position.

Are you kidding?

Arrest that whole damn place,
Not us.

- take their guns, oop.
- let's go.

I swear, you either
Hand that over

Or I'll kill you
For resistin' arrest.

You too, 30 grand.
You ain't no big deal out here.

You had to tell him he was
Lying about your pen.

- would've happened anyway.
- yeah, sure.

- let's go, come on.
- come on!

- come on, let's go.
- you goin' to jail.

Yes, I heard you,
Miss...Weed?

Yeah.
But I'd rather not believe it.

Disturbing the peace?

Call chief peck.
Number's 375.

And don't say nothin'
On the phone

That you don't want
Strangers to know.

- get me stavros on the double.
- right away.

You get that, nosy?

Morning, lily.
Where's bobby and theo?

- jail.
- jail?

I'll tell you what, arnie.

You want the three
Of clubs, baby,

I'll give you
The three of clubs.

You just tell me all about
Dumpke killing councilman kane.

You know, that's the funniest
Offer I ever got.

Funny...It won't be so funny

When dumpke sends his torpedoes
Out here to kill the rumors

I start about you
Shootin' your mouth off to me.

You did get that word,
Didn't you...Kill?

You're bluffing, kojak.

And what are they
Gonna find out anyhow?

You see, by the time
I get out of trouble here,

Well, dumpke's trial
Is gonna be all over.

So I'm no threat to testify,

Because you can't
Take me anywhere.

- what's the name of this game?
- uh, ginsky.

Deputy chief hawker.
Captain mcneil?

Chief peck?

Oh, he's gone over
To get the magistrate.

Well, then let me talk
To lieutenant kojak.

It's for you.

All right, bring it over.
Where am I going?

- yeah.
- in greek, you understand?

Yes.

Look, frank, if you got
Something to tell me...

I understand.
Hold on.

That's french for goodbye.

I'm finished, hawker.

No wonder arnie's so cool.

Dumpke's brother...
His silent partner in vegas.

That's who one of those license
Plates checks back to.

That's why he's not afraid of
Getting bumped off.

It's all one happy family.

They're all in business
Together.

I'd still take him back
If I could.

Yeah, I'd take him back,
Put him on the stand,

Make him deny
O'brien's deposition.

Maybe he'd get cited
For perjury.

He knows that.

That's why his friends
Invent this crime for him.

So we can't take him
Out of the state,

Dumpke's trial is over...

He gets off on
Some technicality or something.

B.J.
Let 'em out.

Five days for disturbing the
Peace and resisting arrest.

Sentence suspended, providing
You get out in an hour.

- mr. Quinlan?
- yes?

Uh, judge,
May I show your honor

Some records and sworn
Statements

From members of

The santa flora police
Department?

- oh, you too, chief peck.
- well, thank you.

These records show that
Arnie saxler's car

Was reported for hitting
A parked vehicle

At 11:30 sunday night
In santa flora.

But deputy hawker claims
That he saw saxler here,

Outside the store in cory
At 9:30 the same night.

So?

Couple hours to get
To santa flora.

That's about right.

Your honor, this updated
Report on the accident

Shows that the vehicle was
Actually hit at 9:45.

You see, the lady
Who reported the accident

Simply didn't get around to
Calling the police until 11:30.

It happened two hours earlier
Than it was reported.

So what did you do, hawker?

Get the 11:30 time
From the santa flora police,

Fake the details about seeing
Arnie here at 9:30,

Figuring all the timings would
Come out right, right?

Maybe you robbed
That morphine, hawker,

Because there's no way
Saxler was in

Both cities at the same time.

Or are you just
Trying to be a buddy

And keep him from having
To go back to new york?

Heck no!
I seen somebody.

Could have sworn it was arnie.
Maybe it wasn't.

Damn you hawker!

You got a lot of questions
To answer.

Case dismissed.

You want saxler, kojak,
You got your right to him.

Mr. Quinlan,
Thank you...Your honor.

I tried, arnie.
Got myself in a mess too.

Yeah, well, you just
Get in touch with sutton.

He'll come up with
An angle for both of us,

And you tell him he better...

Unless he wants me testifying
Against his boss' brother.

And that's no idle threat,
Either.

Lily, baby, my fat friend
Will write you

A thank you note or else.

- you ever get to new york...
- if I ever do.

And if you ever need any
Heavyweight legal help

On those loopholes on the lease,
You call me.

I'll have the d.A. Himself
Talk to you.

Bye, lily.

Hi, kojak!

Who loves ya?

Uh, I wanna apologize
For what happened, lieutenant.

Quinlan and me
Jumped to conclusions

And we're sorry about that,

And, uh, we feel
Just a little bit stupid.

About that whole set-up
Over there too.

'bout letting it get...
Out of hand.

I appreciate the apology,
Chief.

I don't hear too many
Of them in new york.

I called santa flora
About an hour ago.

Should find a patrol car
Heading this way pretty quick

To escort you back.

Thanks.

We'll drop you
Both a postcard.

Bye now.

- what's the matter?
- had a heart attack here.

Oh, hell.
How long ago did this happen?

- about 10 minutes.
- okay.

Okay, cuff him,
Roll him in the ditch,

But get the shirt off first.

Hello, here comes our escort.

I don't know why you deserve
Such royal treatment, saxler.

Better stop and see
What he wants, huh?

Just blast that whole damn car
Off the road.

Stay down!
Get down!

Sutton, what are you doing?
It's me, arnie!

You think they're going
To kill two cops

To save your scrawny neck?

No way.

You're the one with the axe
Over dumpke's neck.

I can't get a shot at 'em.

- neither can he.
- give me a gun, I'll kill him!

All right, tell me something
I wanna know, arnie.

Tell me or I'll slam
On the brakes

And hand you over right here.

Okay.
Okay!

Dumpke killed councilman kane.

I saw him.
I was driving him that night.

- killed him with what?
- a gun!

He always carried it
Around for protection.

And then we threw it
In the gowanus canal.

Look ma, cowboys and indians,
Just like the movies.

Hang on!

Rotten double crossers.

Don't forget that
On the stand, saxler.

Uh-huh, I certainly will.
Yes, sir.

Division commander.

He wants you to make out
A detailed report.

Oh, frank if I make out
A detailed report

We can sell it as a western.

The only thing we missed
Out there was a stampede.

Well, welcome back
To the subway.

Yeah?

Captain, this is the gun
They dragged up

From the bottom of the canal.

Ballistics says
It's the same one

That fired the shots
That killed the councilman.

The manufacturer
Still has the records.

Can you believe it?

Dumpke bought it
Ten years ago in florida.

Beautiful.

We got this,
Our singing canary saxler,

And that's the beginning
Of the end of dumpke.

Excuse me, captain.

Lieutenant, you know this cactus
You brought back

With all this white stuff
All over it?

You know what they call it?

They call it
"The little old lady cactus."

Uhh...

Perfect souvenir of
This lily weed character, right?

Hey, frank, don't knock her.

You know, if my old man
Had met her 50 years ago,

Guess who might have been

The sheriff of poker flats
These days?

Would you like to see it again,
Pardner?
