Good.

What have you got?

I got the last one.

Look,

don't waltz me around, Matilda.

I'll tell you when we're even.

We're turning on, eh?

What is it now?

The cops.

Where? They're coming up.

Gladys, hang up and call Keats. Tell her
I'm being arrested. Right.

Hey, look, personally, I had a chance to
keep from announcing up my record with

a felony conviction.

What can I tell you?

All right. I'll do it. Well, suppose I'm
supposed to get hit by lightning and

slip from the tub. I mean, what am I
going to do? Take you to court?

I mean, it's an arrangement.

It's a $40 ,000 handshake. I'm
vulnerable.

$1 ,200 a week in interest.

What am I talking about? I need the
money.

If it's 3%, it's 3.

It's done.

Uh, Sally's going to keep a very close
touch.

Aren't you, Sally?

That's about it. The rest is just chit
-chat and overlaps. Nothing juicy.

We're going to get the inside on how
they cook their books. This is going to

fantastic.

Man, that's a nice view.

I'll take a nine -room duplex right over
there.

Yeah. All right, what's going on?

I'm in there bobbing and weaving, man.

You know something, Lee?

You missed your calling. You should have
been an actor.

Really? All great stuff.

You know what's funny?

You know sometimes I forget what I'm
really there for?

I mean, it's real.

It's happening.

That's funny.

So what do you want to see me about?

I can't take you out yet.

How come?

Soon, but not yet.

In the meantime, I don't want you taking
any instructions from Brubaker. Did you

check with me?

You guys don't talk to one another?

I don't know.

Terrific.

Do I get in touch with you at the number
that Tony gave to me?

That's right.

By the way, I want to thank you for
taking him down to police.

and showing him around.

It's all right.

Just wanted to make sure he got the
message.

He had a good time.

So what's with you and this Mr...
Brubaker.

Brubaker. Nothing. He's on the make.

Just as long as you check with me,
you'll be all right.

You talk about being on the make.

My good friend Joel Adrian, he's got
them all beat. He's the king.

What do you mean?

You remember that first day down at the
shack?

Boy, I hate to think what went on in
that place.

Why, what happened?

Now, that's one you ought to get on
tape.

We're in the shack, right?

Adrian and me. And we're talking about
this and about that, and I'm giving him

number, playing a number on his ego.

Right away, he starts bragging to me
about the people he can reach.

That councilman, this judge, some
assemblyman. Hey, wait a minute.

You mean they're all on the pad to him?

That's what he said.

Did he name names?

Gee, I don't know.

Did he or didn't he? I told you what he
said.

There's certain people he had to pay off
to.

I don't know who they are.

Does Brubaker know?

When have I seen Brubaker?

I get it. You want me to find out who
they are.

That's what I want.

Come on, Lee. Two weeks.

What do you say?

Do I get a vote?

Come on.

I'm kidding.

You know, those don't do you any good,
you know.

Why? Because of my health?

You just don't let me off, do you?

When's the last time you've been in
Ditmar's Boulevard?

Three years ago when I put my father
into the ground.

I've been waiting till I could go back
in style.

You know... You know what I was thinking
when I heard you went into the cops?

No, but I got a good idea.

And now look at us.

Excuse me, Lieutenant. Can I have your
permission to go into the toilet?

Shut up.

Only good mood I ever made in my life.

The kid.

Yeah, it's a nice kid.

If it wasn't for him, I'd jump right in
there now and forget the whole damn

thing. No, just stop boo -hooing. You
got it made.

I can see you a month from now, you and
Tony.

Walking along somewhere, rolling along
and singing a song.

Yeah, sure.

I know I'm in line for it. It's just a
question of getting the right

introduction. How do you know?

I went over there personally and spoke
to them. Now, the caller said, Mr.

Brubaker, you've got all the
credentials. That's a direct quote.

Now, that was state. Right.

And who did you talk to?

Bischoff. Gene Bischoff and personnel.

I told him I wanted to transfer to the
agency. I said I spoke Spanish. And I

told him I heard there were openings in
Argentina.

What did he say?

He said, you've got all the credentials,
make out an application.

That was three months ago.

Well, sometimes the wheels need a little
greasing.

Exactly. That's why I figure it's only a
matter of getting it off dead center.

You know, a little push.

Look, do you think I could talk to the
congressman?

Oh, you could talk to him, but I'll tell
you what.

I'll have somebody in the congressman's
office make a request for your status

report. Sometimes that's all it takes, a
little congressional interest.

That's marvelous.

But I wish it could be...

You know, a little more personal, that's
all.

Look, do you think maybe if the
congressman knows I'm very close to a

arrest, Joel, Adrian?

Oh, is that right?

I have an informant, wired, films.

I'm going to put Adrian out of the loan
shark business.

It'll be a good credit.

Every little bit helps.

He'll understand that's not for
publication, won't he?

I'll take care of it.

You were talking gibberish.

That's funny.

You know, it's very... No. I think
it's... Mr. Adrian,

what do you do for a living?

A living? Who makes a living out of you
parking lots?

Oh, that's terrific.

No, it's a very pedestrian occupation.
No. But these days, you know, even a

modest landlord like myself has to
depend on the tolerance.

It's not the beneficence of our leaders.

Just between you and I.

Yeah? The days when you would honestly
say the business of America is doing

business, they're over.

Yes. Today, the business of America is
the fundraising cocktail parties like

Parsons. A man I haven't seen in years.

I'll be right back.

Parsons, you just got here?

About ten minutes.

I hear your boys being challenged in the
primary.

New York politics, Joel.

Always interesting and always expensive.

I'm in, Parsons, I'm in.

Have you been to your supermarket
lately?

Me, a supermarket?

The dollar doesn't buy as much as it did
last year.

I heard about that.

What do you want to do about that, Joel?
I can tell you what I'd like to do

about it, but what I will do about it,
that's another story.

What? Come on, 15%. Come on, above last
year's contribution.

Those may be the luckiest words you ever
spoke.

Those words and a token could get me a
ride on the IRT. Not true.

You have a dark -skinned gentleman in
the woodpile, Joel.

What do you mean?

Hey, Tony.

Yeah?

Hey, I'm a friend of your father's.
Listen, you could do me a favor.

Actually, it's a favor for both of us.

Look, you gotta promise him. Promise not
to tell him anything about it, huh?

Terminate?

Wayne, I didn't say you have to. I...

He said you might want to think about
it.

But I... The idea of terminating never
even crossed my... Bob, look, what

am I leaving out? I'm missing something.

Subject made mention of Agamemnon's
boast at initial contact.

Agamemnon claimed to have access to
persons unknown in the legislative and

judicial sectors.

Persons unknown.

Well... Bob, I just got that yesterday.

The difficult we do immediately, the
impossible takes a little longer. I'm

curious, Brubeck.

Are you sure that you want to know who
these people are?

Do you really?

Don't I?

Well, could turn out to be a nice
feather in all our caps.

Especially yours.

On the other hand, it could be a bucket
of worms.

Who are these people?

If they're as big as Agamemnon
suggested, and if you catch them...

A little dirty, but not really a lot.

They could make it very warm for you.

I can't argue with that.

I'll let you a decision.

I think you should know, though, that if
you do push the wrong button and the

flak starts flying, I'm scheduled for a
GS -15 review.

I appreciate your frankness.

I'll take credit, but not blame.

I'm afraid I'd have to buck that to you.

Damn.

I sure could use a big one.

Well, as I said, it's up to you.

Sometimes the system pays off on
performance, sometimes on discretion.

It's sort of like a crapshoot, isn't it?

Oh, it's you.

Come on up.

Come on, I want to talk to you.

What is it?

Come on, come on, nothing, nothing.

Come on.

This friend of mine needs a truck.

I don't understand.

He wants a truck.

You mean he wants to make a delivery, is
that it?

Curtain, I ain't got all day. The guy is
a friend of mine.

He needs a truck. I want you to give him
one. It'll be by tomorrow. Pick it up.

Oh, I get it. Good for you. Now, look,
look.

Sally, why don't you just tell him to
give me a call or walk in here just like

anybody else and I'll see what I can do.

I'll tell you what you're going to do.

Nobody's working nothing out.

Huh? All you've got to do is think about
who's into who for how much and then

you have a truck ready to go.

What if somebody tells somebody who told
you?

All right, where's the bar?

Thanks.

Rizzo! Yeah?

You take a man, go down to Turley's Bar
on East 23rd Street.

Dan's are just supposed to be in there.

Okay. And, uh, be careful.

Oh, where'd you find her?

She applied for unemployment.

The state troopers picked it up. Nice to
have you back, Audrey.

Just let me ask. Lieutenant, the Turing
Precinct wants to know if they can come

in for credit on the, uh, chase of those
two dealers.

Who made the call? We did.

Then tell them no.

But we'll give him credit anyway.

All right, we'll give you a break, all
right? But it's going to cost you.

I think this will please you,
Lieutenant.

I want to terminate Operation Trojan
Horse.

What?

Well, I've reviewed our material with
Mishler from the U .S. Attorney's

Do you know Art?

No. First rate.

Well, at any rate, it's his quite firm
opinion that we have enough to put Mr.

Adrian behind bars.

So, obviously, there's no point in
dragging it out.

That's $600 a day.

Of course, as far as Lee is concerned,
the sooner the better. I'm just here to

make sure that he's fulfilled all his
commitments.

Absolutely. Right on the money.

That's fine. I mean, I just don't want
any slip -ups.

For instance, like some felony charges
popping up and somebody saying that Lee

should answer for them because he hasn't
been cooperative or something.

No way.

No.

You don't know how they play the game
around here, do you? Isn't that right,

Lieutenant? If I were you, I'd get it in
writing. I intend to.

And you'll sign it.

No. Aha, now we begin.

You're kidding.

No way. You were the one who said you
wanted Curtin out.

Did I say that? You sure did. At least
that's the impression I got.

Let me ask you.

A few days ago, you were gung -ho for
hanging in.

And now you want to pull the plug? I
told you, Art Mishler says he's

certain. What about the meeting with
Adrian's accountant, huh?

That's the meeting I want on tape.

Well, you don't have it. You know why?
It hasn't happened. Of course not. But

the meantime, Curtin's out there in the
cold and in a very exposed position,

mister. Oh.

You worried about Mr. Curtin?

You know something, Mr. Brubaker?

You're a beautiful human being.

I'm not following this. Why don't you
want to end it?

Well, you see, there are some fat toes
in back places that Mr. Brubaker knows

about. I don't know what you're talking
about.

I'm only kidding.

But aren't you interested in what Solly
Nurse wants with that truck? I know I

am. Of course I am, but we've got to put
a pin in it someplace.

I mean, this thing could go on
indefinitely.

I'm shutting down the operation.

Oh, and that's your race.

You want to hear mine?

You do, and I'll leak it to the papers.

You'll do what? Yeah, a joint federal
city task force pulled out of a very

productive surveillance when it seemed
that the spotlight would fall on certain

people in high places.

You know what that is, don't you?

That's blackmail. Oh, heavens.

What if he decides he doesn't like this
one?

Then I guess you make him like it.

Come on, I didn't think of that.

You like it, Sally. I'll never talk to
you again as long as I live.

Tell him the rest are all broke down.

That's the truth.

Okay, try it now.

Stavros, are you awake?

Awake? Yeah, I'm awake yet, Don.

Hey, Duff, you finally got lucky. Good
work.

Well, nurse is in here. How come I can't
hear a thing?

There's Vilch.

And one of the country's in trouble.
American technology.

We should have given all our spy
business to the Japanese.

There's nothing wrong with the
equipment. It's perfect.

Well, how come that Dorfus doesn't stay
in the office?

He's making a tour of the vast
facilities and the joint doesn't even

him.

Do me a favor. Come on in the office
upstairs.

I've got nobody to leave on the phone.

Will you stop with the office?

I'm supposed to be someplace.

The guy had lines up to drive. Come down
with the pool. My friend's got to have

that truck right away.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll make a couple of calls. I'll get
you a driver. I'll even pick up the tab.

Ali, Ali, it ain't that kind of a job,
the driver.

You driver, what do I care?

You remember what I told you about that
reputation thing?

You're walking around.

You're ahead.

Don't blow it.

You drive it.

Hey, that's where you go.

And when you get there, You sit in the
cab till they tell you where to take the

load. You do it and you come back here.

Then you go up to your office, you
answer the phone, and you forget about

whole thing.

This truck's got to go into the shop.
The transmission is shot.

Anyone you like.

I can't. Ah, yes, you can.

Sure you can.

You'll be surprised what you can do.

Finished.

Curtain driving.

Curtain! Yeah.

Take a left.

We'll loosen up.

Go through the light.

Step out of here.

I wonder what's in those boxes.

Lamb chops?

Who knows?

Probably hijacked.

A little moonlight for Solly, maybe?

Solly, nurse?

Nah.

He doesn't blow his nose unless he asks
Adrian if it's okay.

They're all set.

I was told to give you this.

Okay? Yeah, okay.

Close it, will you? Yeah.

Take it easy.

He's gonna roll.

Oh, take your time.

I don't know who's watching, but let's
not louse it up now.

Oh, no, baby.

Get nice and thick.

There he goes.

Let him get the jump.

Okay, move your truck.

How can you guarantee Mr. Curtin's
safety?

No problem.

Sorry.

Everybody makes mistakes.

At least he and Leonard.

Come on, Lee, two weeks.

What do you say?

A lot of them. Who cares?

I can see a month from now you and Tony
walking along somewhere, rolling along

and singing a song.

I'm the late man. I clean up.

I come in and I find this note. It
says... Load the boxes in the truck from

safety first delivery.

And give the driver the paper with the
address.

What was on the paper, Lewis? I don't
know. I didn't look.

What did you say? Sent you the note? I
figured it was my foreman, right? Only

you tell me he don't know nothing about
it.

You load boxes of wood for meat
covering, huh? You do that often?

I didn't even look at the boxes. There
was forms.

Yeah. It's a setup all the way.

Why did Curtin decide to drive?

How should I know?

He told Curtin you wanted a truck
before.

I never told him that.

What were you doing in the garage this
afternoon?

Went to see Curtin. We had some
business.

Business? What kind of business?

Business, business.

Lieutenant, can I see you for a minute,
please?

What happened?

Hey, Lieutenant Kojak. Tell a man what
happened. There was an explosion out

there. I know what happened. What I want
to know is... Lieutenant.

Three dummy companies I gotta wait till
before I get to the guy that holds the

paper on that meat outfit.

Guess who?

Come on, I'm not in the mood.

Joel Adrian.

Pick him up.

What's your connection with the B &K
Meatpacking Company?

My connection is... Mr.

Adrian has a fiduciary interest with the
company.

It's certainly not a crime.

There's hardly a reason to drag him into
a police station in the middle of the

night.

Sure, if Mr. Adrian could help us with
our investigation, he'd want to.

It can't wait until morning. No, it
can't.

May I intrude on this colloquy?

Intrude. Intrude.

You see, I know a little something about
Lieutenant Kojak. I have to believe

he's good at what he does, or he
wouldn't be doing it.

Or am I assuming too much?

If I thought so, I wouldn't admit it in
this company.

All right.

Now, let's say he's a good policeman.

And God in heaven knows we need more
then.

But what does it mean?

It means Lieutenant Kojak doesn't like
questions that he can't answer. You see,

he's lost.

Hold off on the snow jobs, Joel. Not
now.

Now, you wait.

You see? Now, you see?

You try to speak a truth to a man, and
he's not interested.

Easy answers. That's all he wants.

Now, I don't have any.

Can I be more clear than that?

Why did you have Curtin blown away?

I haven't. Now, don't say another word.

This is intolerable.

Now, either you bring charges if you
have any evidence, or I'm taking Mr.

home.

You know where to reach me. During
business hours, if you have any other

questions.

Let's go.

You want to pull my chain again, Kojak?

Punk, get out of here.

I'm sorry.

It wasn't your fault.

Thanks for coming.

Well, I liked your father, you know
that.

I've been looking for this, uh... I
guess he's in here.

Who's that?

This man who said he was like a really
good... I'm touched by your loyalty,

Lieutenant.

You really think it was worth it, don't
you?

Well, anyway, you would have thought he
would have wanted to be here.

Hmm? Who?

This man who was at school, he came up
to me and asked me who all dad's friends

are so I could give him a party.

He said it was like some terrific
surprise.

When was that?

I don't know, a few days ago.

Did you give him the names?

Yeah.

You gave mine too, right?

Sure.

No, I don't think so. Doesn't look like
him.

Yeah, that's him.

Who is he?

A wise guy.

Conspiracy? Usury?

Okay, but you're talking homicide.

We can hold him for a couple of days,
but before we go to a grand jury, you'd

better have something more than tapes.

Such as what?

The famous smoking gun.

The threat's good for intent and motive,
but... It doesn't prove you followed

through.

You need a witness.

Somebody to point the finger, you know.

I saw him. He told me to do it.

Okay, Rudy, thanks.

Hey, tell me when you think you're
ready.

Be careful with those tapes.

Look, it's on its way to your office. We
thought we'd drop it off for you.

Where's Kojak? If he's got those tapes,
I'll go straight to the Attorney

General. Hey, hey, hold it, hold it.

Nobody's going anywhere.

Those tapes aren't his.

That's government property. It's
evidence in a criminal case.

Evidence of what?

Enough to haul Adrian and Nurse in front
of a grand jury, mister.

For Curtin's murder?

I don't think so.

Curtin's not my problem.

What does that mean?

Where's Kojak?

None of your business, Brubaker. Now,
the stuff you're looking for is right

there.

He's going to drop it off at your
office, all right? You happy?

Kojak borrowed it to make copies.

Oh, terrific.

He's the one who's responsible for the
death of the witness.

It should have been terminated when I
said so.

Try to hang anything like that on Kojak,
I'll find a way to put you on a

breadline.

I don't know how they clued in on
Curtin.

Don't ever say it was Kojak or I'll do
you in, so help me God.

If you don't think I've got the juice to
do it, just try me.

All right, play those two sections
again.

You can get dead that way.

What?

You heard what I said.

I could get what? What did you say?

Think about it.

I'll see you tomorrow. No, no, stop.

Think about it. That's all I want. All
right, play the next one.

Do me something.

Go pick up Solid Nurse.

Right.

I hate it.

But I use him. But I hate him.

I don't have it. What do you want to do,
search me?

What's the matter with you? You some
kind of dummy?

I think you're some kind of dummy. You
know that?

You really want me to tell him?

You didn't pay?

I paid.

Because if he thinks you're stiffening
him... What are you going to do? Kill

Me?

With my two hands?

All right, Phil. Kill her, huh?

And thanks a lot.

So what's the big deal?

Well, the way I see it, you tried to
kill Curtin twice, and you finally did

It's all there. Come on. Oh, yeah,
Sally. You put the bomb in the truck.

The way I hear it, it happened somewhere
over on the west side, and I was

nowhere near the west side. You were
there. Come on. You listen to me. I

there. Listen to me.

You were there.

You were there because I saw you.

You what?

Yeah. You were at the plant when the
bomb was put into the truck.

You saw me?

You see, I had curtains struck rigged so
I could follow it.

And I followed you from this place to
the packing plant.

And I saw you.

And that's a lie!

What the hell are you doing, man?

Intent, access, and you knew I was tight
with Curtin through the kid motive.

What kid?

Intent, access, motive.

You know something, sonny boy?

You're gonna ride that big lightning
bolt straight to the sky.

It's not important that he knew Curtin's
truck was rigged or not. He knew he had

to grease him before he got to that
courthouse.

You know what?

I'm holding you for the murder of Lee
Curtin.

Get him out of here and buck him.

Come on, Charlie. Come on. It's a lie.
It's a stupid lie. You know it. Shut up.

Open up.

It stinks, Paul Jack.

Charlie, shut up.

affair, right?

You do what you have to do. Come on,
what am I gonna do?

You're up there in front of the grand
jury and the DA says, tell them what you

saw. Then what are you gonna do?

When that time comes, I guess I have a
decision to make, right?

He's a family man, your honor.

He owns his own home in Bay Ridge.

He's been gainfully employed for the
past three and a half years by T &E

Systems Incorporated.

Also, he's never failed to appear on a
bond, and we request reasonable bail at

this time.

This is a murder one, isn't it?

That's it.

Bail denied.

Prisoner is remanded.

Prisoner is remanded. Next case, people
of the state of New York against

Edwards. Docket number 2649 of 1975,
section 16505 of the penal law.

Are the people ready? They're ready.

So that's it?

Lee is avenged.

Justice tribes.

Bull.

Take a stand, officer.

You don't believe he killed him?

Not on his own, I don't know.

Well, Rubeck will take care of Adrian.

If Adrian goes to jail, which I doubt,
he will do some gardening in Allenwood

and he will be back in business at the
old stand in six months.

Could happen.

Nice talking to you.

What's the matter with you?

Did I make you uncomfortable?

By God, I hope so.

What was that about the new beginning
you were shouting your mouth off about?

And what's going to happen to the big
guys?

Hey, lady.

Lee is dead.

Yes, I know.

Tell me something.

You and Lee, you had something else
going for you?

I was his attorney.

Besides that?

I don't think I have to answer that
question.

Yeah.

Lee's dead.

And all the big shots are just where
they always were.

And Adrian will do it six months or
walk.

And the two -bit hoodlum goes away
forever.

You ought to excuse me.

But how'd you wind up with a loser like
Lee?

It's a talent.

Handle his wife's divorce.

Can you beat that one?

I bet you think I'm one of the desperate
types that anything in pants, right?

Don't tell me what I think.

Come on, I'll buy you drinks.

Lee was a sweet man, and I loved him.
But he had lousy judgment.

He thought you were terrific.

We're home now. First team is here.

What's going on?

What's he doing here this time of night?

sleep over there?

It's a problem, Sully.

I want to call my lawyer.

Lieutenant Kojak, I'll be there in 30
minutes.

Rudy, it's there.

Yes, I know what time it is.

But what's the bounce on that?

Oh, I don't know. Five to fifteen,
maybe.

Too much.

Really? Sounds like a good deal. Too
much.

Curtain didn't die laughing, you know.

Listen, any maximum over ten, we're not
interested in it. What for?

He might as well go the route.

A dime.

No more.

I can't do that.

Okay, counselor.

It's your show.

Sure you can, Rudy. What's the big deal?
Two for one. You've done it a hundred

times. It's not two for one. I got him
on a long stretch.

So, how many fingers you got on you?

10 plus 20, that's 30 years. Who gets 30
years nowadays? Look, you got yourself

a star with this, you're way ahead, and
you become a hero of modern

jurisprudence.

You be a good boy, do your five years,
and go home.

Okay.

I think we have a deal.

Is it all right with you if I go back to
bed?

Go. Lieutenant, just one little detail.

What's that?

How do we protect Sally from
retaliation?

Oh, well, uh...

We could always put him into solitary
confinement for five years.

Yeah, I don't think that's right. Hey,
we'll take care of him. What can I tell

you? You could use some sleep yourself.

Yeah, soon, but not yet.

Soon.

Officer.

Grazie.

Why don't I come down to your office a
little later and we'll work out the

details. Okay, make it after three.
We'll join you in court. Check.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Get out.

You almost killed me. Yeah, it was kind
of close, wasn't it?

You almost made it, didn't you?

I want to call my attorney.

Here. Call your attorney.

Call your councilman. Call your doctor.

And give your mother a little jingle.

Do we miss anybody?

Easy answers, yo -yo.

I got him.

Come on, follow the good guy.

Back off.

Back off. Come on.

For murder.

Really?

You didn't think I was going to settle
for Sally next, did you?

Well, uh, what about all the others?

You know, the fat toes.

Yeah, one thing at a time, Geech. Yeah,
of course.

But you're probably right.

Hey, I'll see you.

See you.

Lee's judgment was better than I
thought.

Eloise, right?

I'll call you.

I'd like that.

Classic rising damp is on the way at 10
