All language subtitles for Kojak s04e22 Sister Maria

So you sure you don't have an idea?

I have one idea.

You.

You want out? Can I get out?

I see who's over there. I see Harmon.

Can I get out of this?

You're too good with a piece, Marvin.

What do you want me to use?

A piece or the wheel?

That's why we want you. You've got
options.

All right, J .J., do they have a case or
don't they?

You tell me, Harry.

Tell me if they have any more surprise
witnesses like Stuart Bayless.

One of my pilots makes a deal with the D
.A. and accuses me of smuggling

narcotics. You want an explanation?

Get it from him. The hell with the
smuggling. We can beat the smuggling.

indicated there are civil murders
involved.

What do you want me to say? Well, say if
there's any truth in it.

We have nothing to worry about. I see.

Then what is Bayliss up to?

Maybe he's jealous.

Maybe he wants to own an airline, too.

And this girl.

Who the hell is she?

Why do they keep a lock in an ante room
away from the other witnesses?

Huh? And what is she to Bayliss? What
are you?

And what does she want to want? Your
body?

Officer Powers, please. You've been with
us all day. We don't need protection.

Orders, Mr. Bailiff.

We're going to Val's place. We're going
to change. Then we're going downtown to

the Fulton Fish Market. They have great
clenched chowder.

Hope you're a vegetarian. Thanks for the
invitation.

Name is Val Day.

She's a stewardess.

Is she connected in any way with any of
the killings that we have nothing to

worry about?

I don't know the girl.

I heard she and Bayliss were cozy,
that's all.

Harry, I don't like surprises.

Relax, J .J.

Maybe she's his security blanket.

Let's go.

Yes? They're inside the girl's apartment
now.

Better wait.

When you move, let me know.

Something's wrong, Harry.

It's been a long day.

Well, I think we can make a case for you
not being responsible for every pilot

in your employ who decides to bring in
contraband of whatever nature.

And that bailiff is an opportunist who
got caught and is now trying to involve

everyone in sight.

I just wish we knew more about the girl.

Yes? It's go.

Thank you very much.

And how about the other cars?

I told you it was so fast.

Lieutenant, haven't you pushed her
enough?

This is like a good place to eat. Do you
come here often?

No.

Ah.

Together?

Hey, look.

I'm not interested in your personal
lives, okay? Maybe very beautiful, very

exotic. I don't care about that.

I'm only interested in what you saw, not
why you're here. You understand? It

comes from being a good citizen.

Yeah, well, look, good citizen. Don't
make me lose my patience, all right?

Because just one hour ago, those three
people were alive.

I saw a lot of cars passing. That's all
I saw.

And then this one car looked like it was
going to jump the curb and hit that

truck. What truck?

A truck.

What was it? Yellow, red, black? The car
was blue. A Plymouth.

Notify the prosecutor's office about
powers.

Also tell them they blew it.

Theo. Come on, would you? Frankie was a
cop and he had a job to do. His job was

to stay on top of these people because
they were targets.

You know, if it was you, you would have
taken them and tied them onto a bedpost.

They'd be alive today. You'd be alive
today. He'd be alive today. I saw a

fish truck.

A white fish truck?

Uh, Amatillo's Fish Market.

Did I say more?

No, sir.

Okay, Satch.

Hey, Lieutenant.

The ME says that they were shot and that
they died instantly.

Myself? Well, just because they were
grand jury witnesses doesn't mean it was

connected to Harmon. Bellis was into a
lot of shady deals.

All right, get Harry, Bob, Harmon and
get them fast.

Thanks.

See you in the morning.

That was my office.

I'm afraid I have tragic news.

Still, Bayliss and the girl were just
shot, along with their bodyguard.

Don't say anything. Not now, not yet.

Just pour me a drink. A big drink.

Now, Lieutenant, our alum picked up
three hot Plymouths and a scratch on

How about the truck?

The dispatch is working on it now. I'm
going to get something to eat.

All right, you go help him.

I was going to eat first.

Oh, no.

Work first, eat second, okay?

Lieutenant, you've got a visitor.

Lieutenant Kojak, I'm Valde's sister.

My name is Maria.

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry, Sister Maria. Please,
sit down.

I came here to tell you that I killed
her.

You think that's going to get them to
heaven?

Yeah. Well, it can't hurt.

I was supposed to go on the ride with
them.

Val had this crazy idea that I had to
taste the chowder.

We can only get down at the fish market.

But I had a terrible headache, and I
insisted they go on without me.

I don't think they really wanted to go.

Val was very tired, but she insisted
she'd bring some back for me to eat,

if it was cold.

That was Val.

Did you identify the body?

Yes.

When can I take her home?

A few days.

Where is home?

Dayton.

We were born there.

She left and I stayed.

Family?

Our parents have been dead for six
years.

Then why are you in New York?

The hearing.

I wanted to be with Val.

Maybe to share the danger this time.

Not hide from it.

I really helped.

Did you know Harmon well?

I don't know.

Except for the card she sent, I had no
idea of who or what made up her life.

Two sisters couldn't have been more
different.

Val is the adventurer.

Her cards from Ceylon and Turkey and
India, they were the big events at

and when she comes to visit.

If I keep saying is instead of was, she
isn't really dead.

In my mind.

I sit over there. You know the
procedure.

He doesn't look like the kind of man who
would have people killed.

But he has, hasn't he?

I've read that he's gotten away with
murder before.

Is that really true?

Is he really that evil?

I'll call you later, okay?

Isn't there some law that says you're
supposed to tell me why I'm here?

Why don't you talk to me? Because I know
you, and I know you very well.

1961, grand larceny.

Acquitted. 1968, violation of cartel
act.

Acquitted. 1970, contempt of court.

I know. You paid a hundred grand for
some poor slob so you razzle dazzle with

your deals. They go blur the braids out
and you pass around the green. Ain't

that right?

I didn't feel like serving a contempt
sentence.

You mean you were afraid to serve it.

Frankly, I didn't believe my ears,
McNeil.

I thought you were smarter than this.

Frankly, Theo, I didn't believe my ears.

I thought you were smarter than this.
Well, did you hear? I'm overrated.

Are you okay?

Fine.

What was the point?

Harassment.

I didn't like being brought in here.

That was his point.

Lieutenant.

The truck driver from Mount Matula's
fish market remembered three digits on

license number. That Plymouth?

SPIS is working on it now. He also gave
us a description of the driver.

Stavros, you've seen a lot of hitmen in
your time, haven't you?

Well, the list is legion. Yes, well,
amongst that legion. You ever see any of

them wave a bottle before they go to hit
a target?

Maybe he wasn't a pro.

Three shots, three bodies in a few
seconds, oh, he's a pro.

Go get him.

Lieutenant Kojak?

a piece of luck.

I'm in here looking for a sister of the
order.

Instead, I found you, unescorted,
available, and a sight for sore eyes.

Thank you for bringing me here.

It's your idea.

Well, I'm not exactly sightseeing, not
the way I feel, but it's just that Val

said that she came here often.

Maybe it was this table, that waiter.

Maybe they ordered what we'll order.

I'm still living her life without any of
the risks.

Whom shall I send a card to when I leave
here?

Hey, Theo, what the hell?

No good, Leo?

I seem pretty in this doll.

But then I woke up from my dream.

Yeah, Leo here, he's a poet.

I could add him for a while.

And I hope it's the first of many.

Smiles.

Okay. Yeah, I'll be like that. Health
and happiness.

Thank you for not going there, there,
and patting my head.

Hey, you're a big girl.

You may not have lived like your sister,
but you know where it's at.

You know good from evil.

You said you sent your cards from
different places?

My treasures.

I've had a few of those a month since
Val joined the airline.

Sometimes she'd come to visit me and
tell me about her travels.

Will Harmon be punished?

Well, we'll get a conviction on the
narcotics smuggling.

Five to ten, maybe less with parole.

How much less?

A year at the most.

Unless we can nail him.

But you haven't been able to nail him up
to now.

A year in prison for taking life?

For a man like Harmon, it's worse than a
death sentence.

You know, some guys just can't be
penned. They break.

I know it's not much, but it's all we
can look for.

It's not enough.

You wanted to come here because you
found out he comes here regularly.

I hate him.

Sister, listen to me, okay?

Harmon is bad.

He's evil.

And he's very powerful.

You've got to learn to live with that.

Now, above all else, I don't want him to
get mad at you.

Because it doesn't give me any
satisfaction picking up guys after

pretty girls.

Okay?

How can I ask you to understand my loss?

A cop has been killed as well. I thought
you understood that.

I'm sorry.

We're not in South. We'll take the
Stavros.

Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah.

Yeah?

No, man. It was a Plymouth.

Well, why don't you say so right away?

Okay.

Lieutenant, they found a blue Plymouth
near the Brooklyn Bridge. It was stolen

yesterday. It had white paint on the
dent on the side.

The car can tell us who drove it.

I'm sorry, Captain. They already worked
it over. There's no fingerprints, no

nothing. It's as clean as a whistle.

Get Morgan at forensic.

Tell him to do it again personally.

Have I had a dime for every time I've
heard clean as a whistle? No, that's

work, Stavros. I mean, good police work,
okay? You ought to give him a raise,

Captain. Or get him a pot for his plant
or a plant for his pot, whatever.

Well, if things are going so good, how
come you're not dancing?

I don't know, a hit man who handles a
wheel.

That's a very special kind of
professional.

But I'm not worried. We'll get him.

When that guy gets here, you'll see real
money.

Ten grand only buys carved beef and
boiled potatoes.

You called him?

I'll tell you what I did. I said be here
with more money or else.

I said I'm with a scared little man
who'll never be anything if I don't push

him. That's what I did.

I told you.

Did you, Marv?

Marv, you're a schlepper.

I took you from Elizabeth. I thought I
was getting something.

So I'm going to fix it so you are not a
schlepper anymore.

He's bad.

He's cold.

He's a dead man.

You don't fool with a guy like that.

Call him.

Say forget it.

I told you I made a deal with him.

Did he tell you it was a job for Harry
Bob Harmon?

Where is it?

And don't be in a rush to go.

I want to count it.

You can con him, but not this lady.

Okay, thank you.

Lieutenant, Morgan just called from
forensic. They went over the car again,

picked up a print that might be
interesting. Marvin Rubikoff, a barber,

fall eight years ago. Oh, yeah? For
what?

He's a wheelman on a bank job. I'll get
his picture from the photo section, give

it to Interpol, and spread it around to
the witnesses.

How did Morgan find the print?

He filled it up at a self -service
station.

Self -service? Out of a gun.

That's what you call beating a small tip
and giving us a big one, right?

I called you as soon as we determined
that these DOAs were the same two that

matched a bulletin from your office.

Ah, good work, Lee.

Does your captain know what a fine man
he has in you?

Who do you have on the case?

Ah, Lieutenant Lee. Sell him a gun.

I knew this wasn't my day.

My captain, has Lieutenant Lee solved
the case yet, or isn't this the one

going to get him to the commissioner's
office? You see, Kojak doesn't even

him how to say thanks.

For what? We passed out all the photos
to all the hotels, and we were on our

when you got here.

Forensic says there was no money on
either of them. There's nothing in the

The bellhop saw him flash a bankroll
last night. Then it was a robbery.

How many shots fired?

Three. Nobody heard a sound in the other
room.

There's no silencer. Sorry.

Scratches on the barrel.

Saperstein! Yes, Captain?

The guy who hired Rubikop. They must
have met somewhere.

Rubikop's wife had friends. She went to
a beauty parlor, bought vegetables.

Go, seek, ascertain.

Okay, Captain.

Crocker, I want three men on harm and
double shifts.

And Crocker, remember, harassment.

Harmon's lawyers are watching, waiting.

Captain, are you sweating?

Do I look it?

Thanks a lot. We'll see you.

She still there?

Yes.

This is all I could get.

She's a sister of the order.

Hard worker, well -liked. Came down here
on Bayliss' invitation.

He paid all bills.

She's never been anywhere, never did
anything, never in any kind of trouble.

Her sister's dead.

Why is she still here?

For God's sake, Harry, she's a nun, not
a syndicate hitman.

She can't hurt you, can she?

Can she?

And tell me, Elizabeth, how come a lady
like you is acquainted with a street

ruffian like Marvin Rubikoff? Well, I
didn't know him.

Only her. He was a hairstylist.

Oh, you know the sheet.

That's a biography we keep on people.

Shows that he's a barber.

Oh, good Lord, Lieutenant. I had hoped
that you would acquire some level of

sophistication from our relationship. A
barber. Theo.

Cuts hair.

I visit a hairstylist.

And what was she, a nail filer or a
manicurist?

She used to be a lady.

This is ridiculous.

And you had no idea that Rubico was a
hitman?

A hitman.

Oh, my, your colloquialisms.

Did you learn them from him, too?

A hitman is a hired killer.

My dear Captain McNeil, I have had my
problems in my time.

Associating with criminals was not one
of them.

No, I didn't have any idea.

Rubikop was your boyfriend, right? I
mean, he was your paramour? Wasn't he

indiscretion? He had a lot of money and
a lot of charm once.

It's beneath me, really.

The coat.

Can you wear it?

Yes, it's something I just picked up.

Paris, London.

Moscow. New York, actually.

Did Marvin buy that for you?

Helen, actually.

Terribly guilty over her relationship
with Marvin, I presumed. She needn't

been. I poked and I prodded. I mean, all
that sudden affluence. This coat.

Tea at the plaza.

Sherry.

She wouldn't tell me a thing.

She would not tell her a thing.

Frank, we're talking to a lady. I mean,
how often do we get to talk to a lady?

Where was I? I think it was Sherry at
the Waldorf.

Oh, very good, as I recall.

Anyway, she finally said that Marvin had
made a deal and that she was going to

make it pay much more.

A man had hired Marvin to do some
special job.

That was in the afternoon.

At night, they were both dead.

Do you remember his name?

Zeef or Zoff. No, Elizabeth.

Zeef. Walter Zeef.

Like milking a dry cow.

How sketchy.

I have to park here. There's no spot in
front of the florist. Take your time.

Let's finish with it.

I ask you here to make some sense of
this.

You're a nun.

But you are not God.

If I'm to be judged, it will be by a
jury of my peers.

Not by you.

I forgot to ask. Do you want the flowers
delivered to the house or to Brookdale?

The house!

I feel badly about your sister.

I do.

And I can't bring her back.

But I can do something else.

The convent school you teach in needs a
new gym.

Surprised I know?

I could tell you more, Sister Maria.

Shy.

Silent.

Sixty -hour week with the kids.

Then volunteer nursing at the Veterans
Hospital.

One other thing I learned, dear sister.

They said you were smart.

All right.

Be smart.

Go home.

There's nothing you can do to hurt me.

You are going to hell, Mr. Harmon.

And I shall take you there by the hand.
That's the only way to accomplish it.

What have you got inside information?

Postcards, Mr. Harmon.

With dates and places and names.

You and I, Mr. Harmon, hand in hand,
will burn together.

Dreams. What is real? What is the dream?

I see your misty eyes and hear your
sighs.

And soon the day is dawning.

Dreams.

What is real? What is the dream?

Goodbye at dawning I

should have known That it would

end You had love

But just too late

is real, what is the dream?

I want you here with me, but oh, I see

it's just a dream.

I'm dreaming.

That's all for now, okay? We'll do it
again later.

They heard me singing and they knocked
on the door.

The coroner's going to release your
sister's body tomorrow.

Why don't you take her home and put it
all to rest?

How can I?

Why should I have to?

She was good. She was beautiful.

I just see her everywhere.

Your sister wanted fun and she wanted
money.

So she and her boyfriend Pilate, they
were smuggling stuff that ruins lives.

No.

Oh, yes.

And she got caught.

Would she go to jail?

No. She had an ace in the hole, Harry
Bob Harmon.

And what'd she do?

She copped a plea.

She was beautiful, all right.

But she peddled that poison like any
other street vermin.

You're outside Harmon's house again
today.

I mean, what's he serving?

Are you following me?

No, you've been there a lot of times
since this happened.

You have been following me.

If he's meant to hang, he'll hang.

Why don't you just leave it alone?

But will he?

Will he?

Won't he?

What you really want is for him to go
after you in front of witnesses, right?

front of me.

So I can put him away forever.

Harlan kills none.

You get two executions for that. Oh,
that's a great idea.

But look, you'd be dead too.

I must be a terrible burden.

You're a joy.

And you're a pain.

I suppose you go back to David.

I think I'll say no to this one.

What's wrong?

A nun is magic.

You gone religious?

No, I've gone old and tired and scared.

Zyfe, you may be a lot of things, but
you've never been scared.

That's why we've done business for so
long.

It's different now. Kojak's on it. He
knows me. I got word he's looking for

And she wears black.

I feel a mood I just don't like.

Kojak's just another cop.

And she's human.

She bleeds.

I'm telling you, together they're
building my coffin.

Do it for me, Zeif.

Or I may have to make a call about you.

You have something Mr. Harmon wants,
sister.

In my bag.

I'm sorry to do this, sister.

Forgive me.

I understand.

Hi. Hi.

I was just at church praying for
forgiveness.

Well, if we had left the city when I
told you to, none of it would have been

necessary.

Hey, look, it's not going to make you
feel any better, but I spoke to the DA.

They're not going to take any court
action.

They feel that Zeif obviously was going
to kill you.

And like I said, it's not going to make
you feel any better.

This is what he was after.

Good luck.

Eight major drug shipments last year
from Iran, Turkey, India, and down the

line. Eight postcards from Iran, Turkey,
India, and the rest.

And the same eight dates as the drug
shipments. A lot of things happen on

dates. That doesn't incriminate Harmon.

But it is proof that Val Day was
involved in every one of those

And we have her sworn deposition that
Harmon met with Bayless and masterminded

the transaction.

I got a one -way first -class ticket to
Dayton for Sister Maria.

We'd be sure she makes that plane. Yes.

Thanks, fellas. And I mean thanks.

Theo, about the nun.

She's a very nice person.

You can almost forget when she isn't in
habit.

Yes, you can.

Give me the date and police department.

You don't need much.

I hate goodbyes.

I spend my life saying goodbye to people
that go on with their lives while I

remain in hiding.

I spoke to somebody about you today.

Oh? The archbishop.

He said the church has been known to
make special dispensation in cases like

yours. Total absolution from guilt in
this man's death.

Dear man.

So very tough and so very good.

I know why you're rushing me off.

It isn't all because of Harmon.

And I'm flattered.

Hey.

It's tough, okay? Don't make it tougher.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

All right, go get her bags and make sure
she doesn't miss the plane.

Goodbye.

Regards to Dayton.

Go, Jack.

Out of 10, it's Crockett. Here's the
latest poop on Harmon.

At 11 .10, Martinson's delivered a bunch
of groceries.

12 .05, there was a delivery from the
Plaza Flores, a big floral job.

12 .35, the lawyer Florentino came and
left, and Harmon's still inside.

Enjoy your visit. Thank you very much.

Go, Jack.

Yeah, Dayton, put him on.

Hey, take it easy.

So quick?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah, okay, thanks.

Huh?

Yeah, you call it bad news?

I'll see you. Yeah, keep Dayton safe.

It's Stavros on three.

Yes, Stavros.

Lieutenant, I just put her on a limo to
Dayton.

What limo?

The limo to the airport.

Stavros, I said see that she got on the
plane.

I didn't say see that she got on the
bus.

I want to make sure she didn't get off a
moving vehicle until she arrived in

Dayton. Well, I know she didn't get off.

I watched her drive away.

See if a nun got off the bus at the
terminal.

Then see if a nun got on the plane.

Okay.

Get Crocker to Harmon's house.

And get a backup team. Why would she not
get on the plane?

Why not?

Because Sister Maria doesn't play the
guitar.

How's that for a good reason?

723 to Central K. Harmon's proceeding
east.

Tell the lieutenant that he took the
floor arrangement with him.

Hey, what's he doing? Come on, get that
creep out of here.

Move it.

Come on, move it. Move that piece of
junk.

Come on, move it out.

Crocker, this is ridiculous.

I don't know anyone who moves a big
limousine.

If you come back here, I might hurt you,
Crocker.

I'd call Plaza Flowers.

Find out if they know what cemetery
those flowers are going to. Okay.

Hey, Lieutenant, I just spoke to the
florist, and he doesn't know anything,

they do make up a bouquet every year,
and they do know it's for Harmon's

Okay, find out where.

There are 250 cemeteries in this area
alone, Lieutenant.

Well, aren't you the lucky one?

Because you can take all the 250
cemeteries and find them in one

vital statistics.

I have two units standing by.

And tell my able unit to cruise, all
right? I'll pick them up along the way.

Ann Elizabeth Harmon died 1968 buried at
Bookdale Cemetery.

All right.

You can stop us and follow me. Okay.

Crocker, you wait here for backup.

Rizzo, come here.

Come with me.

Stay just as you are, Mr. Harmon. On
your knees.

You're not going to shoot me.

You know,

I called Dayton.

And Sister Maria, she doesn't sing
songs.

And Sister Maria, she doesn't play
guitars.

And one more thing.

The way you look to me at the
restaurant.

We came home from court.

I was exhausted and my head hurt.

I fell asleep, and Stu took Maria down
to that little food place I insisted she

try.

When I woke up, it was on the news. I
was panic -stricken.

I knew that he'd try again until he got
me.

In that room alone, I began to think
about Maria, and her habit was in the

closet, and I'm not a killer.

It doesn't come naturally.

I had to see if I could work up to the
hate, and I finally did.

Do you understand?

I understand.

But I don't condone, Val. I'm sorry.

I really didn't know what I was getting
into.

The narcotics.

I want you to believe that.

I do.

Or maybe I'm just a sucker for a chick
with a guitar.

We'll get together, okay?
