All language subtitles for Kojak s04e23 Another Gypsy Queen

This was in Chicago. My wife and both
babies killed in a fire.

Your father got me to come to New York,
help him organize some business.

I had no interest in it.

And then I saw this one, 14 years old.

She had made a $3 ,000 badger all by
herself.

You know what her family wanted for her?

$15 ,000.

Victor, if we had the money you're
asking, we would be glad. I had no

I saw something I had to have.

And I made that bridal price in six
weeks.

Victor, we have nothing but respect for
you and your family. Then how can you

offer me $12 ,000 for the most beautiful
and clever and obedient daughter

in history?

Sir. I'm willing to pledge myself to you
for as much as you want, for as long as

you want. The greatest pledge is cash.

$40 ,000.

In the meantime, others are interested.

Victor, since Julian has no family,
except his aunt and uncle, there is, you

know, an old Hungarian tradition.

Sonia, you are not old. You are not
Hungarian.

You are Romanian.

And you make up traditions.

sly policeman makes up laws to get what
you want. All I want is that there's

less fighting among us, that when it
comes to staying out of jail, our people

have more brains, and those that deserve
it are happy.

$40 ,000.

Today.

With inflation.

Who knows how much next month.

Victor is a hard man.

My father would have put him in his
place.

And had the money, too.

Don't worry, Julian.

Everything will be all right.

Julian!

Come here.

See you later.

Tell me, Julian, is Nora going to run
away with you? And not respect her

What kind of woman would she be if she
did that?

What kind of mother would she be?

Good. I'm only sorry Victor didn't hear
you say that.

Listen, if you're interested, I may have
a few business ideas you could help me

with. Hmm?

Power.

This guy's crazy. Come on. Get out!

I'll kill you!

Get out!

Stop! Stop!

I know you're on your break. I'll give
you $10

extra to keep that cab inside.

Attacker has struck at three women on
the Upper East Side, strangling all of

victims fatally. Hi, Mr. Roberts.

Back with us for a while, I see.

I'll get the porter for the bag.

Thank you.

What are you guys doing here after 12?
Well, we thought we'd quiz around the

east side. How about the other units?

Yeah, this creep hasn't hit in a week
now. We figure he's due on E -9.

Yeah, well, why don't you run my day
down to Central Park South, okay?

Eileen, just treat them like animals.
They won't bother you. You're looking

good, Santini. Still wearing a girdle?

Santini, will you guys and the decoy
squad get a real special discount?

Unused pantyhose. What's your name with
it? Is that right? This is my date,

Weisenheimer. Santini is out sick.

So do yourself a favor and apologize.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry.

Hey, you know, we've been working with
different decoys for two months now. If

Raquel Welch walked in here in a fur
coat, I'd think she was a cop in drag.

That's better.

I'm sorry. I didn't get your name, ma
'am.

Louie Ginsberg.

And don't get fresh.

I got seven pounds of lead in this
handbag, and a lipstick shoots tear gas.

So no messing around in the squad car.

Got it?

215 Portable to Post Central K.

215 Portable, proceed.

Signal 10 -5 -4, 5th and 85th Street.
That's an assault, Central. Put a rush

the ambulance.

Suspect seen entering park, 85th Street.

10 -4, 215 Portable.

21 to Portable, K.

215 Portable.

Victim left the scene.

Can't see the ambulance, 85th and 5th.

K. 10 -4.

Julian and his family went to East
Germany.

There they made a friend, a young man,
American, a businessman.

And he said that he could help them to
escape across the wall.

He said he knew a woman who slept with a
border guard, and this soldier could be

bribed. So Julian took every piece of
jewelry, every piece of gold from my

brother's house.

brought to this man.

And then, when they tried to cross where
they were told to, there were

dogs, machine guns, soldiers.

Julian

escaped.

He was in front, looking for the way.

But his mother and father were killed.

Gregory's mother.

The two sisters, they were all killed.

Murdered. Then this man in the cab, he
must be the businessman who betrayed

them. Yes.

I tell you, Julian is smart.

If he saw the license on this cab, even
if he could not follow him, he will find

him.

And if he finds him, he will kill him,
and that will be right.

Listen, Gregory.

If justice is to be brought against this
man, we must think it out carefully.

We must find this man before Julian
does. Make sure he's the right man.

That he's really guilty.

Julian is desperate.

He could be wrong.

Or kill this man stupidly.

Spend a lifetime in jail.

Sonia.

I would kill him even if it meant my
life.

You saw this man, Sonia.

You could tell us what he looks like,
and we could have hundreds of gypsies

looking for him.

Find one face out of 15 million people
with nothing else to go on.

The police do it all the time. The
police?

Sonia, the police?

They love to help the gypsy, always,
huh?

Anyway.

They cannot even find this killer who's
laughing at them about this fur coat

business. I thought they had him trapped
in Central Park. That's what the cab

driver told me. Central Park? At night?

Gregory, you have a radio?

Yes. I want to listen to it. I want to
find out if this man got away.

Why?

Because if they have a thousand men
looking for this man today, they'll have

thousand tomorrow.

And that could be just perfect for us.

I had to call the chief, tell him it
looks like we lost them. Got an

to open up a couple of the animal
houses. Nobody in them. What are you

for? Some skinny guy who slips through
bars and talks to tigers?

You know, there's no bars in front of
the zebras. All you got to do is jump

the moat, slip inside, and you hide.

I figured.

Yes, sir. He got away from the
patrolman.

The victim was apparently a hooker.

Took off.

Afraid of getting busted.

We have no idea if she got a look at the
assailant or not.

Nobody saw his face, sir. He seemed
average build.

Yes, sir. Quite a bit better than
Officer Dixon.

Who's a couple years older than either
of us.

The officer did say that he noticed a
fur coat on the victim, so it's

probable... Excuse me.

Could I talk to you for a minute,
please?

Sure. Sit down.

Me and the chief of detectives in a foot
race. Who do you think's going to win

that one, Frank?

The commissioner.

He's gaining on all of us. There are
four attendants on duty at the zoo all

night long. I sent a list of names up to
the records and they all came up clean.

All right, get their personnel files to
me anyhow.

Department of Parks will send it down in
the morning, sir.

Cab drivers, zoo attendants, doorman,
janitors, elevator operators, watchmen.

Anybody there with a logical grudge
against women in fur coats?

Not in my book.

Excuse me, sir.

This woman would like to talk with you.
She says it's personal and important.

Oh. Well, excuse me just a moment,
please. Crocker, see who we've got on

streets who might be able to track down
this hook who ran off on us? For all we

know, she got a good look at our fur
coat freak.

Oh, I got a great look at one.

I'm from Miami.

My late husband was retired there.

He was an old man.

Mrs. Lewis said... When he was dying, he
said to me, Kay, you are still in the

fruits of your life.

Enjoy.

So I... I took karate and I... I came to
New York.

My first day here, I get attacked by a
fiend.

Cracker, the 52 files, okay?

Mrs. Lewis, could you describe the
events leading to this incident?

Well, I was in my hotel room, you know.
I was lonely and bored, and I decided to

go for a walk.

I went around the corner, and bingo!

All at once, I'm fighting for my life
over this ratty mink.

When? It was about an hour ago.

Well, we were still looking for him in
the park.

And you got a good look at this man,
Mrs. Lewis. We had our hands on each

other's throats, struggling.

How could I not see he was a crazy man
trying to kill me?

Good thing I know what to do with this
knee. I just went, William, William,

like that.

Yeah.

Mrs. Lewis, this man, was he tall,
short, black, white?

Tall, I don't know.

But this, this was a white man.

He had gray eyes, about 35 years old.

Yes. These files, they contain
photographs of known offenders.

I'm going to ask you to go through them
carefully and look for the man you saw

tonight.

Locked in a room with all these
pictures, I could die of boredom. Mrs.

this man has killed three women.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm not so good with pictures.

Maybe Mrs. Lewis would prefer to work
with one of our artists.

Yes, I think that would be a better
idea.

Here, see if Officer Crosby's home. Try
and get him up here.

Now, enlist the squad. We're going to do
a door -to -door tomorrow. Mrs. Lewis's

description.

Right.

I'm going to be talking to the press.

See if we can keep the lid on this until
we come up with something solid.

All right, Captain.

Well, all alone.

Uncle Crickard?

I think I found the man who betrayed my
family.

Your family?

He looks just like him. Older, but I'm
almost sure.

Julian.

Please.

I beg you.

Let me share this vengeance with you.

You won't try and stop me?

No, no, no, no. This is Sonia's idea.
It's not mine.

Now, where is this man?

He's on the 14th floor. An apartment
building.

I found a way to see inside his
apartment, but I need a telescope or

Yes, what else?

I would like a machine gun like they
used on my family.

But I'll settle for that deer rifle of
yours. All right.

Now tell me, where is this man?

What is the address?

You swear you'll tell no one else.

I swear it, Julian.

I'm the blood of my dead mother.

Lieutenant, it's finished.

You take a good look and make sure.

It's him.

Oh.

I bet you never thought I'd lose my
sense of humor. Oh, you got every right.

Now, can we get in touch with you to the
snow for next week or so?

A week?

What for?

Well, I'm going to put every available
man out on the job looking for this

individual. And when we find him, we'll
need you to pick him out of a lineup.

Oh, Lieutenant, I love New York, but I
can't stay here forever.

I'm almost broke now.

Okay, then.

Let's play this day by day. Hope we get
lucky.

Don't go anyplace without telling me.

$100?

You get reimbursed, correct?

Like clockwork.

Yeah, thanks.

Cracker, would you give Mrs. Lewis a
cab?

Sure, right this way.

Thank you.

When you... find this man, Lieutenant.

You're not going to shoot him or
anything, are you? It depends on him.

comes in peacefully.

Good.

Thanks.

I'll get some copies made right away,
Lieutenant.

Do that. Boy, did you see this?

The captain sure didn't disclose those
reporters, did he?

You mean all the police was over here
and there he was on the other side of

beating up somebody? The man reportedly
in his late 30s struck again two hours

later at 78th and Madison.

Sure.

The police.

They make up these things to trick
people.

What makes you say that, Kenny?

Dr. Logan, it says here that she was
wearing a mink.

They don't shoot them wild.

They raise them like chickens.

Raise what like chickens?

Mink. They're not the same as Red Fox,
Silver Fox, Raccoon,

Ocelot.

No, two Red Fox.

You got even for two Red Fox already.

You been working on a theory on this?

Sort of, yeah.

Kenny, where's the fourth pup?

Died this morning.

Well, that's the last of them.

Yeah.

And their mother knows that, too.

Where's the body? I buried it already.

Kenny.

All bodies are supposed to go to
sanitation.

You think they're just garbage, don't
you? Now, you know I don't.

Kenny, you're a watchman.

You're not even supposed to be working
with the animals.

But I let you because you love them, and
they need that.

But there are those agencies and
regulations. I'm sorry, Doc. Fed up with

agencies and regulations.

Don't forget to lock up. Don't go near
the cages.

Check in, check out.

They don't trust me.

Well, I'm afraid the mother...

Won't last any more than her litter.

Well, look at her fur.

The nails.

With arsenic, there's nothing we can do.
You know that.

You want to kill her, don't you? Oh,
Ken.

The zoo would never have accepted them
if we had known how they were taken in a

crop -dusting area.

People poison you.

And skin you.

Break your legs in the traps, and they
put you on their back just to show off

how cruel they are.

I can't find Gregory. He left.

Gregory left?

When? After Julian called.

He took his hunting rifle, and he would
not tell me a thing.

Julian must have found the man.

Let them kill him. I suppose this man
did exactly as Julian's father wanted

to. Suppose Julian's family was betrayed
by God or someone else.

Maybe this man should be thanked, not
murdered.

Sonia's right.

We should be certain of these things.

I have given this lieutenant a very good
description of this man. It's possible

that he may find him before Julian has a
chance to do anything.

There's only one problem.

What's that?

This Lieutenant Kojak.

He's very good for a casual and he'll
have every right to hate me if another

woman is killed because of this Trick I
pulled on him. What do you mean? Well,

he's not looking for the killer anymore
because of me Which means we shall have

to do his job for him We must find this
killer Nora

you get a map Uptown east side and get
me all the papers for the last two

I want to read everything I can about
this killer. Go, quickly, get your coat.

I told you never to see him.

How can I see him, Father, if nobody can
find him?

Victor, please.

You have a hundred men in your tribe who
can help us.

What do you want?

I have tricked the police into helping
us find a man that Julian is after.

I must find a man, a killer, that the
police is trying to catch.

The crazy one with the fur coats. That
one.

Find him for the police.

Why?

They give us something.

We give them something.

It's very important.

There's a prostitute that was attacked
by this killer last night. We escaped.

We must find her. She works uptown
Manhattan.

She wears fur.

Silver fox.

If... She was attacked. She's probably
talked to her friends.

Speak to some of our people up there.
See what you can find out, where she

lives. She probably has a very good
description of this killer.

If she runs away, she's afraid of the
police.

Your head.

Get as many of our people on the street
as fast as you can. Look for a gadget

prostitute of that description who has
been arrested many times.

They will find this one faster than the
police.

What do we start?

You take this and I'll go to the corner.
Good.

Okay, I've got the apartment.

Are you sure it's the right one?

That's him.

Are you sure?

It would be good to be positive.

It's got to be.

Maybe you think it sounds crazy.

I'm not sure.

I mean, your plane is mysteriously
delayed in Vienna.

Then the minute you get back, somebody
tries to break into your cab.

Then a call and a hang -up in the middle
of the night.

You're sure nobody wants to hurt you.

What is it?

You know, you ask someone who's after
them.

Brings out all the hidden guilts.

Guilts about what?

Before I met you,

I was traveling, working on my thesis in
East Germany.

Some gypsies tried to buy my passport
from me, wanted to escape across the

Couldn't sell it to them, but I did
help. A secretary I had met was sleeping

with a border guard. She said that he
could arrange their escape for a price.

So this young gypsy brought me
everything. It's family -owned.

The girl took it to the border guard.

Said it would be enough.

Did they make it?

I don't know.

I left for England before they tried.

I held this back.

It was so unusual.

I'd never seen a cross like this before
in Jade.

Felt guilty about keeping it.

So I took it with me on some of my trips
back.

But I could never find any members of
that family again.

You really did that?

You risked God knows how long in some
German jail just to help some gypsies

escape? The truth is, Ellen, I still
help when I can.

No CIA or anything.

Just on my own. I hate that damn wall.

I love you.

Can I see?

Julian, you remember the crucifix of
Saint Marie?

The one your mother used to wear with
the cross of green jade?

Yes.

Look.

Hi.

Detective Crocker, Manhattan South.

We're looking for this man just about
everywhere in Manhattan.

Maybe somebody works in the building,
gets up around midnight, you know. Does

the picture do anything for you?

Sure. But he lives here, Mr. Robinson.
That's him, 14 G.

Please.

What happened?

You know what?

I think he's being arrested.

Go see what happened. I'll wait here.

And the last one is our missing hooker.

Attacked at 85th, off 5th, last night
shortly before 1 .15 a .m.

His first attack takes place eight weeks
ago at 79th and Park.

Then two weeks later at 63rd and 3rd.

And his third attack is way over here.

He's skipping all over the place.

I thought it was maybe something to do
with the moon or the stars.

But here, he waits two weeks.

Then he attacks two nights in a row.

Doesn't make any sense.

Anjali, thank you.

4570. Hey, Mrs. Lewis, please. This is
Lieutenant Kojak.

Mrs. Lewis.

Lieutenant Koja.

Lieutenant! You must be psychic.

Guess who I was just thinking about.

Yeah, well, tell me when you get here,
okay? We have a suspect and we need you

for a lineup.

I'm on my way. Just give me time to put
on my face.

He's found a suspect.

Nora, you come with me.

You keep the cab.

After the man is released, you follow
him.

You find out where he lives, and then
you call Angeline.

Hello?

Hello, Sonia. Victor.

Yes, Victor.

We found the prostitute.

She's staying in room 410, Park House
Hotel.

We'll keep an eye on her.

Good, Victor. I'll be there as soon as I
can.

Stop chewing gum when you're in line up
here, okay?

Mrs. Lewis.

Do you see anybody in there you
recognize as the man who attacked you

night?

Well, um... Take your time.

No, I'd like to help, you know, but,
uh... No.

No, no, I don't see him.

Mrs. Lewis, can I suggest that possibly
those glasses...

Dark glasses at midnight. That's Miami
for you. No, I never take them off.

Is the man who attacked you in that
lineup, Mrs. Lewis, one more careful

No.

No, he's not.

Captain McNeil, can I see you a minute?

The resemblance, Mrs. Lewis, is perfect.

It's a coincidence.

I mean, the man who attacked me was
tall. He was much taller.

You told me you had no idea how tall he
was. I mean, why are we playing these

games on the very busy police
department, Mrs. Lewis?

A physical attack on a physical human
being is a shattering experience.

I'm supposed to get a little confused.

No, Mrs. Lewis.

You were lonely and you were bored, so
you made up a crime.

And suddenly you were set a stage. But
look, right?

Only we waste time on some poor guy who
just happens to look like your attacker.

He pays the price.

Theo.

Mr. Roberts' employer confirmed his
story. He was in Eastern Europe for

month. The man is a churchgoer, highly
respected.

I'm going to have to let him go.

Okay, so now it's back to the patrols
and back to the decoys.

I'll have to go after that hooker and
pick her up.

And you, Mrs. Lewis, would you do me a
favor?

Next time you're bored, would you try
the Roseland?

And do me another favor. Would you see
your way out?

I called the police.

I say I'm his friend.

They tell me they let him go.

Good.

Crocker.

I don't know whose number this is.

Where Mrs.

Lewis is staying, I want to go by there
on the way home. What's wrong?

I'm giving her a break, Crocker, but I'm
not giving her a hundred bucks.

What's this?

Hello, Susan.

Why don't you sit down?

Who the hell are you?

You know, you touch my money, my old man
will kill you.

We're not after your money, Susan.

All we want are some answers.

The truth.

The truth.

What are you, a religious fanatic or
something?

Leave me alone.

Look.

You were attacked the other night.

And we're going to talk about it.

I get attacked every night.

We're private investigators.

Not after you for anything.

We're just working for a husband of one
of the women who have been killed.

Sure. Sure you are. You're cops. You
think I'm stupid?

You want me as a witness.

You'll lock me up. Material witness.

Look, I know the way you work. With my
record, I don't stand a chance.

You're wrong.

Look, if you cooperate, I'm authorized
to pay you a reward.

Not a word to the police.

If you're no cop, you've got more than
that. So let's make it good.

Okay.

Suppose I put five of these in here for
you.

That's as high as I go.

Now, did you see this man's face or not?

No.

Wait a minute.

I didn't see his face, but I noticed
something else when I grabbed at his

What was that?

Felt like a wire.

Like a hearing aid?

Yeah.

Okay.

What did you do, damn you?

You said $500. This is five ones. Look,
lady, if you don't care enough to get a

killer off the streets, you don't
deserve that much.

Mr. Roberts.

the tea leaf filter.

What else?

All right.

The man lives here.

And Gregory's car is there already, in
front.

Angeline, we have to stop them.

I don't think this man deserves to die.

Get a taxi.

No, no, we are closed.

Of course you are.

Well, well, well, well, well, well,
well, well.

I like your facelift, Mrs. Lewis. What
have we got here?

Goldilocks and her gypsy dwarfs. My name
is Sonia, Lieutenant.

Sonia. That's just what I need. Another
queen of the gypsies.

Now, what are we pulling? A conch up in
these victims? Talk.

You've got it all wrong.

We're trying to help you find this
killer.

Right. And then you're going to run for
mayor, right?

And what have you got against this man
you're trying to frame?

I'm trying to save his life.

And I'm also trying to stop certain
friends of mine from making a terrible

mistake. Let me explain to you, please.

Sure. After I book you. There's no time.

You want to watch me?

The killer you're looking for may wear a
hearing aid.

Where'd you come up with that?

The hooker who ran away.

I found her.

Huh? Keep talking.

What are you doing here?

I want to see how my lady friends do.

Where is she?

She died.

a couple of men to go over to Robinson's
apartment.

I want you to comb the whole area.

Try and find a couple of gypsies with a
rifle and sawdust for brains in Ari.

When you catch them, what will you do?

Throw the book at them right where it
hurts.

Okay, so maybe this killer has a hearing
aid. What else you come up with? I'm

Mr. Gypsy, Lieutenant. Sawdust for
brains. He wouldn't be interested in my

theories. Why don't you stop breaking
chops?

Listen, be fair to Junior when you find
him. Remember, his whole family was

murdered.

No deals.

And what's this list you got here? This
is a list?

When each of the killings took place,
ten minutes before the hour, ten minutes

after the hour, suggest anything?

Yeah, it could be someone who has to
clock in to account for himself.

On the hour, like a watchman?

A watchman with a hearing aid.

Possible. If this cockamamie theory is
right, if your hooker wasn't making up a

story to earn himself a bundle, if
you're not playing with my head as part

some con, possible.

I suppose this killer plays it safe,
gets as far away from his workers as he

can, before he looks for someone to
attack.

Then he has to leave enough time to get
back on the hour.

Ten minutes running.

No.

That would attract attention. He'd walk.
He'd walk. A fast walk.

Yeah, that's about ten blocks.

Here to here.

What are you doing?

Looking for a central point.

Same distance from all of these attacks.

All right, 17, get up to Rob's
apartment. Make sure he's keeping out of

You mean you didn't call him? His
phone's off the hook. Okay. Stop with

building. I'll take this one.

Check any of the rooftops and windows on
the level of the 14th floor. He's got a

rifle, so don't take any chances. Okay,
let's go.

It isn't easy.

Julian, shoot the gun.

Shoot, Julian.

I know you.

You're the young gypsy I tried to help
years ago.

What is this?

You took all we had, and you lied.

No, you're wrong.

Really wrong.

You have my mother's crucifix.

You stole it, and you killed him.

And someday you'll pay.

I've been trying to get this back to you
for years.

You know gypsies in Budapest?

Ask them. They'll tell you that's true.

The guard betrayed you.

Or the girl.

I swear to you it wasn't me.

On the body of my own dead mother.

we have four attendants working on duty
here at night.

Any of them wear a hearing aid?

Uh, Ken.

Ken Lane.

What's his home address?

Well, he's out there somewhere burying
one of our dead animals.

How many women have been attacked?

Four.

Oh, my God.

Go on, preach.

Papa died.

Signal 10 -85, Central Park Zoo.

The children's area.

Hey, don't get bugged.

I think everything's funny.

Hey, you wanna hit?

You're just like an animal, you know
that?

You can be treated just like an animal.

Bad.

You gotta go to fur just like an animal.

Give me your coat, please.

The next time you feel like playing
detective, Sonia, do it on somebody

turf, won't you? Not mine.

I wasn't playing.

I was trying to stop Julian from ending
up like that man, worse, dead.

I look after my people, you know.
They're beautiful and wild.

It isn't always easy.

I had to trick you.

You wouldn't have helped me otherwise,
and you know it.

You keep trying, and I'll do what I can
for your honor, all right?

Julian and Gregory, what will happen to
them? We're going to prepare the best

case we can against them.

For what?

Hunting pigeons on a roof?

Come on, Sonia. Carrying a vendetta.

Reasons for murder, we call it.

And who will testify against that?

No gypsy, I know.

We'll see.

We were good together, you know.

I think we should get together in
happier times.

As friends.

In fact, I think I know the perfect
occasion.

Uh -huh.

To Julian, my new son -in -law, a man of
true courage and family devotion.

We must play.

Victor had a change of heart, right? No
more 40 grand?

Victor? Never.

I, uh... borrowed the money for... Julie
and Nora

and I are going to go into business
together, Theo.

Legitimate.

And you're dead mother's buddy, right?

Come on, let's go.
