You know, you're still not forgiven for
last night.

Well, I, uh, got stuck on a case.

The entire evening wasted by the time
you arrived.

Uh -huh.

Well, almost wasted.

I wonder what it's like being rich.

I mean, really rich.

Well, you're never going to find out
hanging around with a cop.

Joe, I'm trying to get her ready.

Don't please the child.

Does this please you, Carla?

This madness we endure together, does it
please you, Carla?

Now, what are you going to find out on
the breakfast menu?

Almond juice, grapefruit juice,
something like that?

Why don't you try the French toast?

You know how many calories?

Don't tell me about your figure.

I know all about your figure, remember?

Two orders of French toast, two orders
of sausage, and you burn the sausage.

Thank you, Rosie.

So that's it?

He gets five to ten.

I ask a favor and you get my guy five to
ten?

Oh, Rosie, better than that bum you can
find in a garbage can.

He's very grouchy before he's eaten.

Well, it ain't a four seasons.

Neither are the prices.

I'm crazy every time I do it.

So?

So, Joey Lemon picked up a car. He's
having his soup. I think he ain't

no Grand Prix.

And Tommy Marks and Jaime Ramirez are
walking around 7th Avenue. So far, it

looks perfectly still. And there's word
in their head a big carpool's going out.

Did, uh, Faelish get a word about Redon?

Faelish don't want to hear about Redon.

She'd take her message back to Faelish.

If and on as much as catches a cold.

I'm going to burn Faelish myself.

Legally, of course.

Does burn mean what I think it means? It
means... Harriet, get out of here, will

you?

She's looking for a job as legal
secretary.

Well, you're in trouble, baby.

Good morning, Lieutenant.

Good morning.

A bagel?

How about some tea? Yeah, simple Simon
and Soup maker. Say hello to Eleanor

Martinson here.

Welcome. Welcome to my salon.

Thank you. I'd like to pick out a tie
for the Lieutenant's new blue suit.

Of course. Leave it to me.

I like this one. Oh, that's very good.
It's only $25.

Starburst, they came with a gun. I just
heard it.

Yeah, about them described that this kid
walked in with a .38 on his belt. 17

and without on it.

$25 ties or $400 suits in this
neighborhood?

All right, get a composite.

There, you're being ripped off. Oh, you
don't understand. He starts at $400, you

can go down to $12. You see, it's a
negotiating neighborhood. Besides that,

sells to a very special clientele. All
custom -made so you can hide the gun. I

like that. Come on.

Hello.

Lieutenant? Yeah, good morning. Say
hello to Eleanor.

Hi. Hi.

My cousin got off in that wreck.

Thanks. Well, you tell him to stay away
from those gags or I'm going to set him

up for good.

One more time.

Hello. Stavros?

We're getting up a pool on what time
you're finally making inlets, huh?

Yeah, there's that call from Central on
the, uh, on the roads.

I want Crocker on it. Well, at least
check it on the homicide on its way in.

Now, put him on the white convertible.
Maybe it's the brake we need on this

Ray. I want a charcoal.

Hold on. The captain wants to say a few
words.

Hmm. He does?

That'll be the day.

Theo. Yeah, Frank, what?

Are you coming in?

Any day now, Frank.

Well, on the way, stop off at 969 E63rd
Street. A homicide.

Joseph Majored.

They're a prominent family.

Crocker's already on the scene.

So I heard.

Lieutenant.

What are you doing? Carrying bets right
under my nose?

No, the lady left your note.

Besides, I place all my bets on OTV.

It's a great tie. I grabbed a cab. See
you tonight.

We're meeting, aren't we?

I mean, we're at least going to try,
right?

Eleanor. Ah, class.

All right, what's the morning line at
our ranges?

Six to five. You pick.

Yeah?

Here's five for you and me on a ranger.

I like Chicago.

Put your own back down.

Adios, amigo.

Joseph Major, oil wells, lots of them.
His skull is cracked.

Where'd you get it? Someone heard a
screaming, called in.

Uh, the safe is untouched. Only that
lamp on the floor over there.

This picture was torn up on the floor,
this figurine.

And there's a gun missing from this
collection over here.

Male Caucasian, about 35.

Custom -made shirts.

Gold cufflinks.

Everything but a heartbeat.

Mr. Major, what a hell of a way to start
the day for both of us.

Okay.

Hello?

My name is Carla Majord.

I killed my husband.

Get a tap.

555 -5377.

723 to Central, K.

What was wrong between us? I could not
deal with a marriage conceived in hell.

Please, don't frighten my baby.

What baby?

Where are you? Let us help you.

All right.

You can help.

Find my body when it's done.

Mrs. Majid!

She hung up too fast.

Well, maybe I should transfer to
administration.

Look, I'll take her to the shelter. No,
you get on that 50 grand car. It should

be in the impound garage by now, okay?
Good.

Okay, Rizzo.

Hey, Ventone.

What are you doing out in the open like
this?

Waiting for my rabbi, Stash.

Waiting for my rabbi.

You think you can use that cop?

All the way to the top, man.

When you act like Berman, you begin to
attract them.

I thought I told you to stay in your
father's restaurant.

I didn't know you had kids.

I don't.

But can you blame me when you see how
some of them turn out?

What about Falish?

We're trying to contact him. Kojak, you
owe me this.

I owe your father.

Now go.

Hey, I learned.

I swear I learned.

Look at me. Don't I look like I learned?

And what lesson did you learn?

How to be dead before you're 21?

One month out of the can, you're
associating with dirt like Faelish and

to cheat from the cheaters.

Now get out of here.

You want Faelish to hit me in your
territory?

Uh,

sweetheart, huh?

I, uh, just heard from Central.

And the, uh, mother?

There you are, sweetheart.

Tell me, Goldie, you ever saw he gave a
big business to stand outside here for

nickels and dimes?

Do I look discontented?

Ha! Let my ex -partner sit around that
mahogany table I paid for and argue

what to buy or who to fire.

The savings that Malak's alone makes up
the loss of income.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ah, good luck,
sweetheart.

What about that phone call? The kid with
the gun? Well, this kid went into the

bar, and the bartender says that the kid
was sitting there like he was waiting

for somebody to show up. Then the
bartender spotted this gun on the bar,

kid ran out and left $3 and these
business cards on the bar and no other

Where's the bartender?

He's upstairs now trying to make a
composite on the kid.

Okay, as soon as Mr. Charcoal is
finished, I want you to check out all

addresses. Okay.

Hey, you finally made it in. Yeah, well,
I tried not to, but I got lost.

I heard about the little girl. Rizzo!

Yeah, I'm in your parking space.

Who's that, Attila the Hun?

Only the lieutenant parks out front,
okay? So pick up your racing form and

scratch sheet and get out. You're fired.

Do me a favor.

Figure out who that puzzle is.

If you had any guts, you'd meet me in an
alley on even terms.

Sure. I told you I didn't roll nobody.

I told you I'm an entertainer.

Hi. What's a nice kid like you doing in
a dump like this?

How long have we been writing up working
girls?

She rolled a guy in a bar for 500 bucks.

I... I didn't roll no... I told you.

Lieutenant.

What would you do with such a favor,
honey?

Take care of this little Mongol maiden
for me, won't you?

It's crooked.

Yeah. Lieutenant,

I'm at the impound garage.

I know that face.

No ID, just two slugs in the head. He
had a $2 bill folded neatly in his vest

pocket.

Yeah, it's either mad money or saving it
for his grandchildren.

So why don't you check with Federal
Reserve, see what was issued.

Probably down south, he's got a deep
tan.

It's just a used swizzle stick.

Yeah, with the local almost worn out.

The M .E. says he has loose dentures and
he needed a lot of toothpicking.

Well, the seat's way back.

The driver's either tall or fat.

Huh?

Boy, that's a lot of car for a
lieutenant's image.

Yeah, what are you doing? Picking up or
delivering?

Uh, this is the sketch of the kid with
the gun, Lieutenant.

All right, hide this car.

If Impound gets any calls on it, they
haven't seen it, they don't know where

is, they know nothing about it, okay?

How long do we say that?

Well, we say that till we think of
something else to say.

How can anybody lose a white Rolls
convertible?

Every time this happens, I feel like the
man who marked the side of the boat to

remember where the fish were.

Better call the manager. That is a lot
of car to lose.

Jake! Jake, why get yourself in trouble?

It's okay.

Hey, Mrs. McClay, you don't have to
protect me.

It's all right, Jake. It's okay.

I'll call the police from the outside.

You'll never get through law school
losing cars.

It's all right. Don't worry about it.

I'd like to report a stolen car.

What kind?

A white Corniche.

What color, ma 'am? A white one. I said
white.

What's the model? A convertible.

Where?

51st and 1st Avenue.

What license?

Look, you have to know everything. How
many can there be like that in the city?

What license? Wait a minute. I don't
know if I have the license. Hold on a

second.

200 BLA.

Rizzo strikes again.

Did you sleep well without me? No, I
didn't. I missed you.

I miss you, too.

That's very nice to hear.

Um, listen, Anita says thank you for
lending me to her. She feels much

It was a 24 -hour virus or something.
She's all right. Yeah, she's fine, so

coming home.

I mean, I was coming home.

What do you mean?

You're not going to believe this.

Believe what? Well, I'm trying to tell
you.

I had breakfast at Rumpelmeyer's, and,
um...

And then I thought I would go out and,
you know, browse around for that dry

we talked about in the hall. Yeah.

And, oh, I came out of the shop and the
car was gone.

I mean, that's incredible, isn't it?

I don't believe it. I know.

talked to the impound garage.

They got a call from the owner of the
Corniche. It was stolen at 51st and 1st,

but funny. It was picked up at 55th and
2nd.

Steal a car like that to take it for
five blocks.

Would you ask the owner to drop in to
see if he can help us find the car, et

cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Hey, somebody arrest this guy. Do you
want this kid to cut her fingers?

you find this junk?

I stole it.

Leo, couldn't locate any of the
relatives to take this child.

She's all right. Yeah, Frank?

All right, she can't stay here.

Children's shelter thing?

The warm arms of a hooker, Theo?

Lieutenant, the guy who claims the
hooker rolled him is ready for the

Get the lady.

It's the last one.

Are you sure?

Oh, I assure you, I will not soon forget
the experience.

molested by the degenerate.

Alistair McNee, salesman.

What kind of a salesman are you, Mr.
McNee?

Bible items, religious items, wine cups,
altar cloths, things like that.

I see. Do you always carry $500 on you?

Oh, yes.

Sometimes I see an opportunity to buy
something old.

An antique.

She only had $10 on her when she was
picked up.

She hid my money.

They have ways.

Where's that?

The bartender is sure. She never left
her seat till she was arrested.

We had a matron search her when we
brought her in.

The bartender is her partner.

He plies the alcohol.

She peddles her flesh.

Ah.

May I go now? The atmosphere is
depressing me.

Oh, yes. And thank you, Mr. McGee, okay?
We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Get a make on Mr. McNair, okay? Because
he talks funny.

What do we do with the lady? Take her
downtown?

No, no, no.

We still need her for a babysitter.

Okay.

Kojak. Lieutenant, I'm at the Time
Society 6 in Photomorg.

The reason I'm here is that the homicide
occurred in a prominent family, and I

deduced that we might get lucky if I
looked in the society columns.

Stop us. Don't deduce, okay? Just think.

The man in the torn photo, do you have
any idea who he is?

That's why I gave it to you, Stavros.

You see, the game is called Help the
Lieutenant.

Well, his name is Allender. He's a
doctor.

Very high society type.

Did Carla give you any... any reason why
she did it?

No. She just said she did it.

Said something about a marriage
conceived in hell and hung up.

What about, uh, what about her daughter?

We have the daughter.

Her mother is a patient of mine. She's
at a spa upstate. I better call her and

have her come back into town.

Meanwhile, I can take care of the child.

Are you that close to the family?

Well, Joe and I, uh, have known each
other since we were kids.

And what can anyone say about Carla?
She's a sweet... I'm sorry.

I hope you can stop her in time.

Well, if she calls once, she may call
again.

You know, suicide potentials run a
certain pattern, as I'm sure you know,

Doctor. All you do is social call, and
we'll stop her before she does anything.

It's funny. You think you know people,
and suddenly you don't.

I thought you did.

What are you implying by that?

Doctor, I'm here to help, not to sit in
judgment.

This, uh, photo.

We're torn in anger.

It was... It was an escapade, a
little... romantic

silliness.

We had no idea it could end up like
this.

Dr. Allender.

Hello?

No, Peter, it's all in my head.

You want to meet her?

Uh, Carla?

Can we meet?

Please?

Daniela's with the police. I don't want
her any more frightened than she already

is.

You have such a way with her.

Please take care of her.

Look, Carla.

Carla, the disgrace is mine, for God's
sake. You know that.

We are what we are.

God bless you.

You know,

I really don't understand why I was
called here.

I mean, I gave a complete description of
the car.

There can't be that many like it in the
city.

Well, I told you.

We're after a car theft ring that
specializes in stealing expensive

We feel they have a system for casing
the car before they map them.

You know, a sales girl, an expensive
boutique, your favorite cashier in a

parlor. That's why we'd like to know
your weekly routine.

My routine?

Well, the cars, you know, places it goes
to, shops it visits.

It parked at 51st and 3rd.

It was about 10 o 'clock, and I went
shopping.

You said 51st and 1st.

All right, I was confused.

51st and 3rd. My friend lived on 3rd,
and I stayed overnight there.

What friend?

None of your business.

You can think whatever the hell you
like.

Later, uh...

I went browsing at antique shops.

Spartanowski, the Colonial, Country
Place, Edwards, you know.

I came back and the car was gone.

Time?

About 11 or 12.

11 or 12.

Look, this is utterly ridiculous. I'm
being interrogated.

Oh, look, if there's something to be
discreet about, we can do that too.

My car was stolen because you police
don't do your job. And you make snide

little remarks about indiscretions.

Now, if you find my car, Lieutenant,
just give me a call, all right? Thank

Good day.

We'd like your fingerprint before you
go.

By Chris?

Well, just so we can distinguish the
good girls from the bad guys.

the lady's car?

We canvassed the entire area where the
car was found. We didn't find anything.

You know, Stavros, if your plans knew
what you were thinking, they would

Well, he saw the car at 51st and 1st.
Not even the community mates.

Stavros. Yes, sir.

Keep trying.

Parker.

Oh, try to get a picture of the pretty
lady, okay?

And also, try not to fall in love. Just
do a little antique shopping. She went

to Patronowski's.

She went to the country place in Edwards
Colonial, all on second annual, after

she left the car.

Tucker, you're staring.

Right, left hand, please.

Mama mobster returns to die.

Thomas J. Lanowski comes to rest in
trunk of white Rolls Royce convertible.

Oh, will you shut up and find it?

Must be where it is somewhere.

Hey, nothing, nowhere.

I better go call Megan.

Not a word, not a line. What'd you do,
take him to emergency?

No, you listen to me.

I've got to know if Lanowski's dead.

Maybe he's talking to the DA. Maybe he's
with the New York Times.

How do I know till I see a stiff?

Megan, I'm telling you.

We were seen at the hotel together.

So we figure he's going to the garage.

It's big.

It's quiet.

We hit him there and drive him out in
his own car.

Get him far away.

I'll close up his bill at the desk.

We cover ourselves clean.

But the dum -dum left his keys in his
room.

So we had to grab another car.

I figured a car like that would be
spotted fast.

Well, I'll tell you, it better be.

I'm telling you, the cops better find
him fast, or we're dead too.

We got lucky with this catch of a boy
with a gun. That's his mother over there

with Rizzo. Now, we went to his school
today, but he wasn't there.

Mrs. Foster, this is Lieutenant Kojak.

Now, look, you are crazy. All of you are
crazy.

I don't know anything about a gun. What
would a 15 -year -old kid want with a

gun, huh?

Maybe your husband knows.

My husband died in Vietnam.

Now, you listen to me. My Andy is a good
kid. You can ask anybody. My son is a

good boy. What are you people trying to
do to me? Don't I have enough problems?

I guess you do.

Please.

He's just a little boy.

He doesn't know anything about it.

Please.

He's just a baby.

Let the lady go.

I guess you do have enough troubles.

Mr. Bench took the way out you did and
made it even worse.

All right, Saberstein, see how close you
can stay to the lady, okay? Her son,

her son's gun.

See what he's into, if anything.

Uh, Lieutenant, forensic just called
from the impound. They're checking the

prints on that car. So far, none of them
belong to the deceased.

How close are they to an I .D.? We
didn't get that for you. The $2 bill

from a Federal Reserve office in Miami,
and the serial numbers check out to a

bank in Fort Lauderdale. We sent his
pictures and prints down there. Theo,

Mrs. Major. She wants to talk to her
kid.

Put a trace on that.

Well,

we got a talk around her head that's
three -quarters made.

Maybe we'll get lucky.

Mama?

Mama?

You be good.

And pretty soon, Dr. Allender will come
and take you to grandmother's.

Miss Major, this is Lieutenant Kojak.

Thank you for caring for my baby.

Lieutenant, it's a phone call. Lady.

Shut up.

Carla? Carla?

Who is she?

Hi. Oh, hi.

In that tone?

Well, you see, I was expecting a call
from a lady in trouble.

I am a lady in trouble.

And I intend to make it tonight, baby.

You can call it off if you want to.
Well, I don't want.

Bye.

Made for the wagon, a little for me, and
that's enough.

Why the look?

You see that guy standing over there?
Some guys drove by twice.

They were interested.

What are you doing, huh?

Go away, Pa.

Hello, Louie.

Hello, Theo.

He said he'd help.

Why isn't he helping?

They take you to go to a cop when you're
in trouble.

Theo, you doing something?

Well, I'm trying.

Theo, he's my son. Whatever he is, he's
my son. So he stole from the gangsters?

That fellow, you know the kind of
bloodsucker he is. He stole from him?

Even if he stole from the church, he's
my son.

Come on, Louie. I'll give you a drive
back to the restaurant.

Why Saperstein's car?

Somebody stole my tires.

Sure, right.

You want to hear something that'll blow
your mind? It'll be a pleasure.

In a hundred years, plastics will be our
antiques.

Yes, sir. Well, it's something to think
about. That's what the guys in the

antique stores told me.

Why don't you give me something else to
think about?

Janice McClay of the White Rose
Convertible.

White for Frederick McClay, the artist.

Now, did she buy anything in a store, or
didn't she?

Not at Bartonowski. She was never there.

Are you sure?

Very. Bartonowski got a shipment of 18th
century and they had to inventory it.

They were closed all day. They never saw
it, Janice McClay.

So, this is where they photograph House
Beautiful, I'm sure.

Thank you.

Uh, Mr. Bartonowski tells me that you're
very good with antiques.

Do you go to the, uh, Hotel Alphonse?

Not in ages.

Oh, you don't mind?

No, no.

Uh, Brudnowski's was closed yesterday
for inventory.

First you investigate me, then you
interrogate me.

Are you intimating I had something to do
with the theft of my own car?

Well, there are many different reasons
for stealing $50 ,000.

Your manner's gotten quite ugly.

Mrs. McClay, I ask the questions, you
answer them.

And that's how this public servant,
who's failing to keep the streets of New

York safe, does it.

But there are other approaches, I'm
sure.

Teddy, this is Lieutenant Kojak.

Hello, how are you?

Hello, Lieutenant.

Have you found Jan's car?

Well, uh, where's Ryan? I'm sure.

There is a gallery on the phone. A
client will buy two paintings if he can

me.

I'll get your coat.

I've developed a new following. People
now look at my work and they lose. How

does he do it with that broken body?
Well, I don't do it with my body. I do

with my mind, what I see, what I feel.

I could do it with a brush between my
teeth.

If I sound bitter, it's because I am.

Mr. McClay, have you been to the Hotel
Alphonse lately?

I don't go anywhere. I don't care to go
anywhere.

Possibly out that window, and I would
have done that long ago if it were not

Jan pouring life into me.

Each day, each moment, I exist solely
for the joy of looking at her

with my artist's eye.

Forgive me, I sensed the moment we met
that you were a man with an ear for pain

in the night.

That call was for you, Lieutenant?

Yeah. Lieutenant, we're waiting for you
to come back.

As what? A water lily? Fort Lauderdale,
I just called. You know the body in the

trunk all right. Thomas J. Lanowski.

The old synagogue chief.

The same.

He was invited to leave town some years
ago by his heir apparent, Meekin.

What do you think about that?

Are you okay?

Get a E. Rosemont's while you may, baby.

There's a chimney there.

This lady?

Yeah. I'm sure she comes in here often.

Oh, yeah?

What for?

Your daiquiris? Yeah.

Hey, she's a swinger. I could best pick
her.

Go figure.

All the money in class.

Yeah, right.

Lieutenant, the hotel officer's Lansky
had room service charge of three drinks,

different kinds. No other activity in
his account. No calls.

Well, he had at least two visitors to
the drinks. They were all different,

right? One of them was tall. We know
that because the car seat was back.

And the ladies need a tall, no fat.

Manowski's wallet and car keys were in
his room. That's why he had no ID on it.

That's why they didn't use his car.

What's that? 3 -4 -5 -F -E -M.

200 BLA. Where's that car?

It'll take a little time checking all
the plates.

Why, you're at a check for a white Rolls
-Royce convertible.

Oh.

Well, I'd know if that woman was here.
No, hasn't been here in a long time.

Well, your book shows that it's still in
the garage.

Oh, well, people get impatient and just
drive out.

What happens if we find your prints on
it?

Then I'm in trouble.

It's called race, just die.

Weight of evidence.

I'm a law student.

I thought it was very sketchy.

No, that's very good, but you're a
little old -fashioned.

I'm talking courtroom law. You're
talking classical.

Okay, plead your case, Counselor.

I told you what I know.

No more, Jake.

I think it happened when a guy came to
the office. He started talking to me. I

was reading one of my law books.

I heard an engine roar. By then, the car
was out of the garage.

All right, take him downtown. Show him
some pictures.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

As soon as I get off work, okay? I need
this job.

Please. Would you be on time, Counselor?
I'm a very crabby judge.

Uh, put a tail on Oliver Wendell Holmes.

There was a call from your office.
Someone named Rendon to see you at his

restaurant. Oh, thanks.

And I talked to Carla's mother. She
said, of course you can set up her phone

trace any incoming calls.

She'll be back in her apartment as soon
as she can get into the city.

Good.

The medical examiner's report said that
Joseph Magid was drunk enough for ten

men. Now, if Carla Magid calls, you tell
her that's a good case for self

-defense.

Don't panic her. We need her to keep
calling.

Dr. Allender?

Uh, give me Lieutenant Kojak.

It's for you.

Yeah. Hey, Lieutenant, there was a guy
around the impound asking you about his

white Rolls.

What'd he say?

Well, he wanted to know if we picked up
his white Rolls convertible.

And I told him what you told me to say,
that we don't have a car like that here.

Well, he couldn't believe me. He said to
look again, because we've got to be

blind. All right, stay loose, Rizzo.

He's got a shell, just like we want him
to. That killer needs proof.

Manhattan South, Detective Supervisor K.

Vita complaining at Rendoni's
Restaurant, 174 Grand Street.

Regards to 10 -10, suspicious person.

Use caution, K.

Manhattan South, Detective Supervisor 10
-4.

Theo, he came back like you tell him.

He was sitting in the back eating and I
called to call you to tell you to come

and eat with us. And they come with
their guns.

Where'd he go? I don't know. He went
around the corner. They go after him.

Thomas!

Thomas, it's Kojak!

Shut up and tell me later.

Project, tell me.

Papa, I'm scared, Papa. All right, all
right.

He won't help me, Papa.

All right, all right. He don't want to.
All right, all right.

Project, what do you say?

In other words, you're canceling out
tonight.

No, I'm not canceling out tonight.

Let me get this straight in my mind.

You're calling to tell me you got your
clothes dirty.

I'm calling to ask if you still like
cops, and that's why I'm calling.

You know something.

You never call to ask me how I feel
about you.

That's the trouble with our
relationship.

You're too sure of it.

You can con my old man.

You can't con me.

I'm gonna die.

They're gonna kill me, and I'm gonna
die.

Because I took from a lousy hood.

Once. Just once, I swear, on my mother's
grave.

From a hood who stole it in the first
place.

But you walk around with a gold shield,
and you take money for upholding the

law. You get a paycheck for protecting
people's lives.

And you do nothing for it.

Nothing. And they let you live.

Thomas.

Dale?

Yeah, well, just a loyal admirer.

So, let's see. We picked up a hookup for
Roland, a guy who looks like a nut.

Investigated a homicide in the
assailant. There's a mother with two

gonna kill herself unless we get there
in time.

We're looking for a kid whose mother is
a junkie and he's armed.

What? Oh, yeah.

There's also a body in the trunk of a
white Rolls Royce convertible and like

that.

That sounds solid.

You know, when we talk, it's so
meaningful.

Yes, Theo, it's still on for tonight.

That's why I'm calling.

You can't make it, right?

Hey, baby, I'm sorry.

Sure.

Darling, maybe it's too tough for you to
meet in the middle of the week.

Yeah, it is.

It's also tough on weekends, but I'll
tell you something.

It makes every tomorrow worthwhile,
baby, just as long as it happens.

If you want to try.

I want to try.

Tomorrow? As I live and as I breathe,
okay?

Shalom.

Still eating, fatso?

There's a front of yours outside. We
want to talk to you.

What's the word, Frankie?

Faelish says the Rendon kid can stand in
front of that police station until he

grows a beard.

Sooner or later, he goes to the toilet.

Faelish says if you want to talk, okay,
tomorrow in the morning.

And what do you think? I think the kid's
dead and no matter.

Faelish will blow you away for pushing
this if he gets the chance.

Well, it's been that kind of a day for
me. You set it up anyway, huh? What the

hell?

You lost the parking lot, Lieutenant.

Oh, did you?

Did you do it alone to get some help?

Yeah, hello.

It's me.

Hey, Counselor. You're going to come up
and look at the summons I got?

Yeah, I'll do it, I'll do it. Listen, I
want you to make contact with a couple

of guys.

Yeah, which?

The gunsel calls himself Hal.

He's got a dumb, dumb shadow named
Charlie.

Oh, hey, Jakey, come on.

What do you want to get him a stuff like
that for?

They are deadly men.

Be cool. These guys are gonna make me
rich. Say I have something to sell.

Big?

Hey, you working overtime? You were
going home.

Yeah, my son -in -law's coming to
dinner.

Hey, Ghost, why don't you put in a line
of hot dogs? Be good for business.

Did you ever want to try to find a way
to put more criminals in your station

house? Oh, in other words, who needs the
aggravation, right? In those words, who

needs it?

Say, isn't that Tom Rendon, the kid who
stole money from Phelous, the hood?

Hot, delicious, man.

Potatoes, fruits.

I heard they almost got him.

Why don't you sell hot coffee? Weather
like this, good.

You trying to be my partner?

No, you trying to be mine.

Crazy coming back?

Yeah, I'm crazy.

I'm going to stay in here all night. I'm
so crazy.

All right, if you don't want to charge
your rent.

Hey, man, I can't sleep.

I can't eat. Where should I go to be
safe?

You want me to go home? You want me to
come back there and try again?

Maybe I ought to arrest you.

Put you inside until it cools off.

They sent some drunken to ship me.

No thanks.

They're going to do it because you can't
stop them.

Let it be in the open. It's being set up
for me to meet Faelish in the morning.

Hey!

Get lost.

I thought you was gonna get the heat
off.

I'm doing it.

Yeah, I heard.

A couple of Faelish's gunsails just
missed.

Kojak sure is some rabbi, all right. You
watch, baby.

That dumb cop is gonna do it for me.

And the minute the heat is off, you
spread it around that this is proof I

Kojak in my pocket.

And you and me will go into business
together.

What'd you get out of our Mrs. McClay?

Well, a pretty married young lady who,
uh, lies about where she goes and what

she does, and for a very good reason.

What good reason? She doesn't want her
husband to find out.

Oh, that good reason.

All right, call the meeting order.

You know, familiarity breeds contempt.

I'm sorry, Captain. Lieutenant, all the
fingerprints on the fancy wheels have

been ID'd except for four sets.

Oh, well, Mrs. McClay and the parking
lot attendant, uh, account for two of

sets. I guess the kid who ran for the
car and the hitman.

What's Saperstein doing about finding
that parking lot attendant?

Well, he had the apartment covered. He
never showed.

Well, so he was involved.

So the errant lady is involved.

So I'm involved. So what?

Lanowski was a hood. He was a
professional hit. Why hide the body? Why

razzle -dazzle? Well, they didn't want
him found where they hid him. That's

But they wanted him found, so they stick
him in a $50 ,000 coffin and they put

him in a tow -away zone.

I'm surprised they didn't put a plague
in his lapel.

I put more men with Zappastine.

I want that budding shyster.

You know, the press will have a party
till we clear this up. All right, so

not find the body till we do.

How long can we sit on it? Hey, Frank,
once we let it be known that Lanowski is

dead, I mean, the hitman gets his money
and he goes, so?

Let's not provide his proof of
performance.

Let whoever hired him think anything but
that the contract was completed.

That ought to make a lot of happy people
there, Vince.

White, Cornish convertible.

50G set of wheels.

A body and a trunk in the middle of
Manhattan.

Megan, I swear we did the job just like
that.

And I'm waiting for an announcement
about a stiff just like that.

It'll happen. Believe me, they'll find
him before he's dead.

I told you to try to convince Lenowski
there was no room for him to come back

the Big Apple.

And if you didn't go along, you hit him,
and you'll let everybody know.

And you hit him, right?

At the hotel, in the parking lot, in a
50G set of wheels.

So where's the body?

Maybe they didn't open the trunk yet.

Hal, you got until tomorrow.

Show me a stiff.

She is a prostitute.

She is an instrument of the devil.

And people like you, as bad as they are,
iniquitous, you tolerate them.

Let me go!

Excuse me, Captain. Lieutenant, this is
Andy. The kid with the gun, he went back

to the bar.

You get the piece?

No, it wasn't on him. We chased him
halfway around the west side.

He probably stashed it during the chase.
All right.

Call his mother and then trace back. In
the meantime, put him in a playpen.

Okay. Nice and easy.

All right. May I leave now?

Uh, Aleister McNee, 35, arrived in the
city less than a year ago from Duluth,

Minnesota.

34 complaints filed against 34
prostitutes in the greater New York area

you arrived. Busy, busy, busy.

This city is evil. Mr. McNee, if you
insist on pressing charges against Miss

Markham, that file will be given to the
judge.

And you're going to have to explain to
him how it happens that so many women

have accosted you in so short a time.
Well, the rest of us should be so lucky.

You know he's right about that.

Crocker!

Where is the errand lady?

In the interrogation room.

Naughty, naughty.

You all ready?

As soon as I get the bets down.

Hi.

Hi.

Want a drink?

Could be a party.

Well, you never know.

I mean, we'll wipe some of that grease
off your face, a little soap and water,

and you and I can make beautiful music
together.

You gotta be kidding.

Frank, I... Close the door.

Hey, what law?

I mean, you're here.

I'm here.

Any minute the music's gonna start. Some
of the time, okay?

I mean, what's the matter? You got
anything?

Hey, what's the matter with you? You
ought to be arresting guys like... I'm

gonna call the cops.

That's the way it is, you know.

Always and always here and now.

What were you expecting, Prince
Charming?

Then why?

And who the hell are you under that
grease?

We need the money.

You said she was, Tom Rose. You're
wrong.

And then I heard about wives doing this
sort of thing.

At first, I'm trying. I don't know what
to do. The bills pile up.

The house, the kids, the cars. My
husband killing himself trying to make

work. I don't know where I found the
courage to do this.

Well, lady, you don't have to do it this
way. You know this building you just

left? It's full of people who did it the
wrong way.

Hey. Why don't you buy a smaller house
or sell one of your cars?

Suppose I'd stop running around your
desk.

Yeah, well, maybe we would have found
out a little bit more about each other.

Come here.

Good luck, kid.

Hey, Goldie, a pretzel for the lady.

Where is he?

Where is he? Mama!

Andy?

Andy, honey, what are they doing to you,
honey? They said I have a gun. Let's

take the boy to the lieutenant's office.

Your cops come to me on the job. You're
going to get me fired. You're getting my

son in trouble and all because some nut
thinks that he's... What problem?

I haven't got any problem. You're the
one that's making a problem.

Mrs. Forster, you have a drug problem.

I know it. You know it. Your boy knows
it.

Get him out of here.

Just get him out.

Mrs. Forster, please, let us hold him
till we solve this problem, okay?

Theo, we can't hold him. Let him go.

Saperstein.

Get out of here.

Saperstein. Yes.

Now, you gotta keep following me and not
tell anybody, right?

Well, I was just about to put this
report on your desk. Yeah, well, why

you read it to me? My eyes are tired.

Yesterday, she left here.

She went back to work.

Last night, she went home.

Now, if that kid got into the house, he
had to use some back entrance.

This morning, she went to work.

And during lunch, she met some guy, and
that's all.

Did you mark the guy?

Oh, yeah. His name is, uh, Lewis.

Neighborhood punk.

Jack the Dandy.

All right, go get him and bring him in
fast. Okay.

Why are we here?

This is the room service waiter from the
King Alphonse Hotel.

He's trying to I .T. the two guys that
were in a room with T .J. Lanowski

he was murdered.

Theo, Crocker just called in. He's with
Carla Major's mother.

Something wrong?

No. Like what? Like the lady had no idea
the daughter was going to kill her son

-in -law.

Maybe she was on timidity.

Nobody knew anything was going to
happen?

Mrs. Denton, this is Brad Fink. Please,
try not to take too long.

Mrs. Denton, this is Lieutenant Kojak.

How do you do, Mrs. Denton? How do you
do?

Danielle, why don't you wait in your
room for a few minutes, okay?

I'm sorry about this, but I've got to
ask you some questions about your

daughter. You know, whom she might call,
where she might go.

You see, she's threatened to take her
own life, and we need you to help us

her.

What are you telling me about my child?

Lieutenant, please, can't we wait?

Please, Doctor, would you excuse us?

I do not accept any of this.

Joseph is dead. It was an accident, or
some person broke into the house.

Oh, stop this!

Please wait.

Get a trace.

That is your daughter, please. Take your
time. Keep her on the phone as long as

you possibly can.

Hello?

Carl, my dear, I simply don't understand
this.

The, uh, the shame.

This is great.

How could you do this to all of us?

Mrs. Major, here's Lieutenant Kojak.

Now, what do you think about your child?

Is she all right?

Has she had breakfast?

She's fine.

Well, she's young, you know, and then
that helps.

Mrs. Major.

Did he ever threaten you or your child?

Did he ever endanger you?

Look, Mrs.

Major, I've seen God in your house.

I've seen the Bible.

Now, if you're a religious woman,
please, don't take your own life.

That makes sense.

But not for me.

Lieutenant, somewhere downtown.

She'll help you soon.

Please, we'll find her.

What are you doing there?

I'll get an ambulance.

Yeah, they got in, Frank.

Yeah, but we had the car in the shed.
They still don't know why we're hauling

it, so they still have no idea what's
going on. Do we?

Hey, Frank, we have to keep this thing
open.

How's the officer?

You get a week off at most.

All right, I'll see you. Hold it, hold
it. You got a number to call, one of

contacts. He says it's important.

Yeah. Yeah?

There's no reason to say it's important
with you. Yeah.

Okay, it's you.

Phyllis says he's got a minute to waste
right now.

Ah, they're protecting you or me?

I could do it right here.

Snap. Nothing.

Not a tear.

20 cents lead.

Now listen, I'm telling you, you're
alive.

You go get pneumonia.

Don't push me to do it. You stay away.

Leave Rendon's kid alone.

He owes me.

I owe his father.

Okay.

Okay, but you let him pay.

No, erase the debt.

And you do it, or I'll come down on you
every way I can.

You ought to die, cop or no cop.

I'm going to die.

But not before I pay off all my favors.

The word will be out. Now, you lean too
hard.

You're gonna get it. Do me a favor.

Hold your breath.

Now, you shame me in front of my men.

You made me lose respect. I'm not gonna
let it end like that.

You cop.

Well, there's a great restaurant in
Appalachian County if you're scraping

places. You like it?

I like it. All right, where is it?

Where would our Patashkin restaurant be?

On Broadway?

Look, there's a nice, great place on
Baxter and Grand called Rendon's.

Seven? Or sooner.

This time you're sure?

Hey, how dare you? I mean, did I ever
stand you up?

Bye.

Theo, I don't know how I can ever thank
you.

Yeah, well, how about a special dinner
for two?

Hey, big antipasto, eh?

Ministrone, fantastica with linguine,
side order, with clam sauce, white.

Chicken tatrazini, eh?

Louie, I said a special dinner, not a
vendetta.

I, uh, finally came here, like I said.

Tommy, you're safe now.

The lieutenant did it.

Gee, lieutenant, you're something else.

Yeah, but don't say what, all right?

Everything's going to be okay now.

He learned his lesson with that Phelous,
eh?

Louis. Lieutenant.

Central has a 10 -1 for you. I'll make
the call.

I just want you to face the facts, okay?

Your boy is into so many wrong things
that I really didn't do any.

I mean Phelous. He's just one little
patch in a balloon with a thousand

holes.

Yeah, he's here now. He's the captain.

Yes. One of our tails came up with
something interesting.

Well, it's refreshing.

Which case? The majored killing.

How's it going?

Guess I did a silly thing coming here.

Doctor.

What the hell are you doing here?

I had a key.

Carla gave it to me. Joe used to go out
of town often.

I came by to...

tidy up. You see, Carla kept a diary.

You know, little scribblings extolling
her indiscretions.

Mother said that she brought shame down
on everybody.

She said she can't live with the
failure.

You talk about scandal and disgrace.

It's a man having a love affair with a
married woman in this day and age.

Doctor, there's no diary here.

At least not hers.

Maybe his.

That torn photograph we found?

It wasn't Carla Major's photo of you.

It was Joseph's photo of you.

To my dearest Joseph.

Yours to eternity, love, Peter.

I'm relieved that you're relieved.

Joe and I were lovers long before he met
Carla.

His family forced him to marry her to
squash the rumors about him.

The marriage was an agony for Joe.

And for you.

And for her.

Funny. You were willing to accept me as
her lover.

Why not his in this day and age?

I'm really sorry, Doctor, if I seem
insensitive.

And I would have been a lot more
sympathetic if you'd come to me right

help me find Carla Majid, who may be
dying right now while you're suffering

private agony in silence, but alive.

The priest.

Doctor, the name of a priest.

The priest agreed to let us tap his
private line? Yes, private line number

555 -9292.

Yeah.

Hi.

You look like you spent the night with
all the wrong people.

Yeah, well, it's, uh, it's, uh... It's
not by choice.

Oh, Roy, this is Thea Kojak.

Hello. Fixes my parking tickets for me.

So nice of you to drop by.

Well, bye.

Lieutenant, I found him in his usual
hangout, the sewer.

Jack the Dandy.

Long time since we pulled you in, huh?

What's it been, about a week?

Hey, Coach, I come clean.

Of course you are. Like Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs.

Uh, you hear the kids looking for you?
What kid?

Francie Forster's kid.

What'd you do, hook her on her stuff?

Where you going? I didn't dismiss you.

I know what you do.

You know what you do.

You know, you take these lonely women...

And you take them out, you entertain
them, you make them forget whatever they

have to forget.

And then you give them a little sample
of the stuff you peddled and you got

yourself another customer.

That's what he does.

That's what he does.

Andy. I told her. I said what he was.

But she won't listen.

She don't believe me.

Andy, give me that gun.

No. He has to die.

He's killing her.

Look, kid, I'll make a deal with you,
okay?

I'll see if your mother gets to the
hospital, gets some treatment.

You know, she needs you out of jail.

Hey, you want a cup of coffee?

Yeah, thanks.

Rosie, a cup of coffee.

I'll never see him again.

We're far down the road for that, isn't
it?

You just get yourself another pusher?
No, come on. It's not like that.

Look, I shoot up every now and then.
Things aren't too good for us, but I am

junkie. That was a mistake.

Jack and I are just friends.

Mrs. Forster.

Why don't you turn yourself in for
treatment?

If I do, what happens to Andy?

Look what happened to him now.

You know your school called?

Said that your son is a very bright boy.

And look what happened.

He shoots a man, he's in juvenile hall.

Without a mother to take him out of the
slums he had nothing to do with being

born in.

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

We finally found who was in the room
when the hotel's bartender brought up

drinks to Lanowski.

He made these photos. He swears that
these are the two guys.

I can't beat it.

I know I can't.

Which is easier?

Facing the truth about yourself, which
is tough, or the memory of a son poured

down at twos by you?

Hey, give it some thought, okay?

And I'll talk to the DA's orcs about
him. And about you.

Okay?

Sure.

Joe Megan's boys.

Same gang that drove Lodowski out of
town is here to welcome him back.

Put out an alarm, would you?

For the fugitives from the welcome
wagon.

So, we're here, just like you wanted.

Sure, I know you guys are busy, but...

The reason I said it was important is
that the police are looking for a 50

set of wheels, and just by coincidence,
I was talking with your friend here when

I heard the car being driven out.

So I thought I'd tell you guys.

I mean, the owner could get me in a lot
of trouble.

How much?

Well, I'm no bloodsucker, but law school
is expensive.

I only wanted a couple of bucks.

Ow, ow, ow! You know the owner of the
car? Yes.

Name? This is Janice McClay, Tudor City.

Yes,

sir.

Are you sure you'll be here? Louie,
tonight, 7 o 'clock, positively.

Get ready. You be here.

I be ready.

Tommy!

Papa.

You didn't stop him.

Theo, you said you'd fix it.

I'm sorry.

Big cop, big friend.

He asked one favor.

To save a life.

Hey, Lieutenant, telephone inside.

Dirty cop.

Dirty, lousy cop.

He's in with them.

They pay him off, so he goes with them.

You said don't kill him.

So I didn't.

Failish. i'm after you hey cop be cool i
left some evidence i made it easy

for you

I could be up there.

I could have my own thing going.

Louie.

Please, Theo.

I got a big job to cater.

Lieutenant of the police.

Big shot friend of mine.

Bringing a special lady to dinner.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Saperstein, just call from the church.
The priest has called an agent on the

line.

Goodbye, Father.

Carla, what you're going to do is the
worst sin.

Remaining alive the way I feel.

Knowing that I failed my husband.

Knowing that he's dead because of me,
that's it.

Carla, please, dear, however it
happened, it's your child, huh?

My child will forget what I cannot
forget, Father.

She lies. Tell her she lies.

That's not remorse.

You lie to me. Even now, you lie to me.

No, Father, no.

I've told you everything. It's all on my
soul.

And on mine, on mine.

You call me, you talk to me. If you take
your life, I fail too, Carla.

You're taking me to hell with you.

There's nothing left to say.

Try to forgive me, Father.

Fast, man, fast. She's coming to the
end.

21st Street and what?

I'm not sure.

Well, give us something to go on.

It's south of 34th.

34th.

Well, east or west, you know how many
folks in that area?

Well, zero in. I heard you. When we get
it, you'll get it.

Okay, 32nd to 34th, Stavros.

28 to 31, Saperstein.

You take 24 to 27, I'll take 21 to 23.

You mind telling me what we're going to
do running out of those buildings? Just

get over there.

Give me a number as soon as you get it
from Central, okay?

Okay, Central, relay that message to all
units. I'm going up first.

I

can't

talk anymore, Father.

Look after Danielle.

Tell her I love her

Hi,

I'm Kojak we met

We met on the phone.

Please, I don't want to be stopped.

I'm not going to stop you. I mean, if I

did, either I'd be dead or you'd be
dead.

And I don't want to die.

I mean, I've done a lot of bad things in
my life.

But I don't want to die for them.

I mean, what would it help?

Just like your dying wouldn't erase what
you did.

It sure will help me forget.

Cowards talk that way.

Yes.

Please, I... I don't want to hurt you.
I... I've done enough hurting. I...

I just want to lie down.

Did you hear that?

Well, it's not exactly Gabriel or
Joshua.

Please go away.

You don't want to hurt any more people.
You said so.

Why don't you look out the window?

Miss Major, come here.

You know, my job was to keep you from
killing yourself.

But you can't stop there.

I investigated this case. I met your
mother.

I met Dr. Allen. I met your child.

I learned an awful lot about your life.

You know, I used to read about crime and
I'd get depressed.

And then I realized...

Can't help everybody.

Some people just don't want to be saved.

I loved him.

Why couldn't he love me?

You're young. There's always tomorrow.

That's the way I wasted my time with
you.

Yeah. It's off again, right?

Um, I'm calling to find out if it's on
again.

Yes, it's still on. Of course it's still
on.

My God, you look drained today.

Really? You mean not as drained as that
gorilla you were sitting in the car with

this morning?

Oh, Theo, please tell me you're jealous.

Green, baby.

Look, did he commit any crimes lately?

I don't know.

I'll ask his wife.

She's my associate and he's my boss.

Theo?

Of course I'm sure.

I just, uh, I've got a little car to
deliver.

What kind?

It's a white Rolls Royce convertible
Corniche.

Fifty thousand, give or take a few
bananas.

And like that, and with a body in it.

Funny.

Hello, Petzl. Hello, Lieutenant.

nothing surprise

I went to the hotel.

I parked downstairs.

Later on, it was gone.

I just lied about where.

It was only a little lie.

Call it what you want.

Hanky Panky, by any other name.

There are times when basic needs...
Prevail.

Mrs. McClay, because of your little lie
to cover up your basic needs, as you put

it, I've got half a division that goes
all over the streets of New York for

car, which you said you left in a
certain place.

I was afraid for the police to check the
hotel because my husband might know I

was there and why.

If you're telling me at this late date
that you're concerned with your

feelings, I'm not buying that either.

It would break his heart. What?

You've been bringing this out every day.

Hey, kid, let me tell you something,
okay? From an old -time cop, those

on always know.

Do you have any idea what my life is
like?

I've met a few who've had it worse.

You know what I'm talking about.

Dad?

Good news.

We found your car.

Fantastic.

Jan knew you'd do it.

Ah, you're back.

It took long enough to get a fresh shirt
out of my desk.

So you got lucky, so you want to
celebrate, huh? So celebrate.

But later.

You've got a desk full of paperwork in
there because you got lucky.

I've got a team.

I've got a family.

Don't misunderstand.

I only did it because I get to take home
a doggy bag.

Like they say, Vesuvio comes to the
tiger, we bring the tiger to Vesuvio.

What do you say?

I feel as if I'm in Roma.

I had to rush, Theo.

I spent too much time in the hospital.

How is your kid?

God forgive me what's left of him.

Maybe I have time to think now.

Well, the view from my apartment is
higher.

But the sheer atmosphere, this beats my
tears.

Come on, we can't eat here.

Theo, your friend Louis went through all
this trouble to show his appreciation

for what you did for his son.

Yeah.

How about my new tie?

All right, we'll go get it.

Pocorino?

Si.

Hey.

So, uh... What are we having for
dessert?

We'll tell you about that later.
