Actress Ardium Rosary.

Terranova's crazy.

He thinks he can beat me.

Why don't you arrange a sit before
things get out of hand? When he's in the

then I'll talk.

I own this piece of the apple.

I built it with my own hands.

Benedict knows that.

He wouldn't allow Terranova to move in
on me.

Benedict is the number one man.

He don't care as long as he gets his
fake.

What else?

That cop, Kojak.

He's kicking up dust all over town over
those hits.

Kojak is the least of your worries.

Okay, Gomez, D 'Agostino, McCoy,
everybody.

Keep your backs to the wall.

Go on.

Gino, make me some coffee, will you? She
makes it taste like tar.

You find out?

She's deaf.

You find out?

Gomez and D 'Agostino got reached by
Terranova.

They're scared.

They don't know what to do.

Give me your keys.

Joe, these are trusted men.

If I'm wrong, they're just dead.

If I'm right, I could be.

Ten killings in eight weeks.

Yeah. Still don't know what it's about.

Hey, we have a witness down the street.
He was taking out the garbage for the

morning pickup. He thinks he saw a
souped -up Chevy Bel Air 1957.

Say the color of the license number?
Just the color, green and white. Green

white.

Okay. You leaving already?

I just think I know where to buy a car
like that.

Hello, Chief.

After all these years, look what brings
us together.

Detective Crocker, Lieutenant Kojak,
Assistant Chief Howard Brokaw. He's the

head of the new organized crime unit.

Is this your ball, Lieutenant?

Yes, sir.

Gomez and D 'Agostino, eh?

Uh -huh.

All right, I want you to round up
everybody and anybody who's ever had any

contact with them, including that
priest, who they were muscling in on and

was trying to take over their territory.

Excuse me, sir. You know, this isn't
just a ordinary hit. These guys were

to contact me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I'd assumed
that you'd given the same instructions.

No, sir.

You know, we need inside help, not just
bodies.

All right, let's do it your way.

And let's get together real soon. I've
got some theories on this rash of

killings. I might be of some help.

Let me know about the car.

You have a lead?

I'm going to go see an informant. Mind
if I tag along?

Excuse me, sir. You know how these
things work.

Like they say, I'll wait in the car.

Still fun and games.

What is it?

I just left Gomez and D 'Agostino.

I couldn't get to you in time.

You had enough time to drive them to
their death in your son's car.

I did not.

Gino took it.

Where were they killed?

I don't know.

Too bad. You gotta understand that I
helped you get your kid out of jail

you tip me to things like this.

Wait a minute.

Did you get the D .A. to talk to the
judge? No, not yet.

Oh, Theo.

He's my son.

Relax, Mary.

I'm gonna help him.

I made a deal with his mother, remember?

She helps me, I help her.

Gino said he heard Gomez and D 'Agostino
were going over.

Greenstein got furious.

Theo, whatever it is, it's heavy.

I'm scared.

It used to be so good between us.

Hey, I remember it that way.

Anything important?

Gomez and D 'Agostino.

Greenstein ordered it.

All right, Lucana.

Bring her in.

And keep me informed.

Theo, who's that?

Don't worry.

Just another cop.

Your cover's still good.

You got a good deal for Mary Torino's
son? No. The DA wants to know why she's

important that he has to do anything for
the kid.

And I didn't give the answer.

I pulled in everyone I could find.

Yeah. Do something with that, but don't
drink it.

Charlie! Get the door, please.

Give us a few minutes.

Okay.

You're doing it right.

You're hitting all your contacts,
questioning your witnesses.

So the fact that so far we haven't had a
rumble as to why all these murders

can't be blamed on incompetence.

So far.

Well, maybe it's another murder
incorporated starting up all over again,

Captain.

Ten shots!

No, please, continue, continue.

All right.

We'll start with the last night.

Lieutenant.

Well, these latest victims, they work
for Greenstein.

And they were hit because he's nervous
about something. Unfortunately, I

couldn't find out what he's nervous
about.

Frank, may I?

Please. Consider the simple but obvious
possibility that these deaths may be the

direct result of a general decline in
toughness toward criminals.

Too many of these hoodlums remain in the
streets because, well, they've made

deals to help.

True, we need informants, but... When
you deal with animals, you end up

bitten. Our task is to get them off the
streets.

And, well, thanks for the use of the
hall.

We've got a great leader here.

Duke Polo.

Frank, buy you some coffee?

Upstairs, please.

Oh, Frank, it feels good to be on the
firing line again.

Sure beat pushing memos around and
taking politicians' lives at lunch.

Telling them all about how we control
crime in the streets and protect their

flower beds. I can imagine.

I want to thank you for making me feel
welcome. I really think I can help.

Sure. Well, if you're going to keep
dropping over, why don't you just move

I'd like that.

Just for a few days. Get the old
adrenals going.

Well, sure.

You should just take my office and I'll
move in with Kojak.

That's very nice of you.

I feel at home already.

Dave?

Cross the street on a red light. They
spit on a sidewalk. Pick them up.

Pull them in. Keep the pressure on.
Sooner or later, one of them has got to

something that contradicts, and we'll
get to the bottom of these murders.

Well, Lieutenant, you missed a good
meeting.

I wasn't invited, sir.

Well, I believe we've said it all,
gentlemen.

Good luck out there. We'll do it
together.

Lieutenant, when we stand together in
front of the men, we should exude

confidence in each other.

A united front.

That's the key, Frank.

Yes, sir.

He seems upset.

He has his own style.

Well, that may be a luxury we can't
afford, Frank.

Well, not that he's not a good officer.

I just believe he relies too much on the
integrity of hoodlums.

And that's old hat, Frank. Let the
stoolies do it.

That's just a working cop's lazy way of
avoiding a good, solid interrogation.

How's it going with that woman?

What woman?

Mary Tarino, Greenstein's girlfriend,
the one Kojak brought in last night.

Chief, Kojak did not bring her in last
night. He felt he could get more out of

her if he left her out on the street.

And you agreed?

Sir, we can pick her up any time we want
to.

Do it now.

Chief, she's the lieutenant's informant.
She is a prostitute!

fed him some kind of cock and bull story
so she'd make a deal for her son.

That's who she is.

Case in point, Frank.

It's easier to leave her out there than
to bring her in for an interrogation.

Yeah.

Sure.

Yeah, okay.

We'll keep in touch, huh?

Okay.

That was my sister.

Where's the lieutenant?

He just left.

Where'd he go?

I don't know, but he'll call in soon.

Hi, rookie. Come on, you drive.

Get them.

Personal property in a squad room is
against regulations.

Well, God made plans, sir. I didn't.

The Manhattan South, Saprothene.

Are you sure about that?

Okay, give me a second to write it down.

Those last two numbers again?

Thank you.

That's a complaint form.

So? So you used a complaint form to
write an address.

That's not what they're for.

Yes, sir.

Who ever thought that Shirley would
obstruct justice?

What? That guy Simmons, the chief's
driver, he listens to everything we say

the squad room and then runs to the
chief.

Now he says my plants are illegal.

You shouldn't say anything the chief
isn't supposed to hear.

And I got news for you.

He's right about your plants.

You never complained.

That's because I'm a soft touch.

Did you see Crocker?

No, was I supposed to? I don't know. He
was looking for you.

What did he want?

He didn't say.

Stoppers, how do you do that without
losing your fingers?

Huh?

You know, they ought to change the name
of this place to Manhattan South Annex.

I'm finished.

Stalvers is finished.

You didn't get a chance.

I'll have the same as he's having.

I think we're out.

But I'll check.

Angie. It's a nice place.

You know, when I was stuck up there at
Fort Apache in the Bronx, we rarely ever

had time to eat.

Tell me about it.

We were never sure when we were going to
get attacked in our own squad room.

But it was a joy to come to work.

You know, you could have gone far.

I looked at your records.

Made all the right moves at every
opportunity.

Why is it you're still a lieutenant?

Well, I decided that, all right, you
make more money, but you make fewer

friends. And there were too many
official cocktail parties, and that's

reason I became a cop.

I just heard you didn't bring in Mary
Torino.

It was just an oversight.

A lady's calling, and she has no time.

It wasn't an oversight, Chief.

You know, it was my decision. I figured
you didn't have all the facts.

Thanks, Charlie.

All right.

Are you sure?

He told Gino to check out the alleys,
windows, and exits of Terranova's place.

Theo, what about my son?

Look, I promised you I'd take care of
that.

Now, you get off the phone before he
spots you.

Set up a plan at Terranova's place.

What do you want to grab?

Stop, Russ. When you set up a plan, that
means to observe. So you set it up.

I'll be right over.

Dr. Stanton? Yeah.

What?

Hey, Neil.

Frank.

It's coming together at last. Now, you
listen to this.

We hear that Greenstein is talking about
a meet.

And then we hear Terranova's talking
about a meet.

And now we hear that it's going to be
set up at Terranova's place.

Now, look.

I'm setting up a plan.

Well, what does Brokaw say?

Well, I'd have to see how this develops
first.

Are you stalling, Theo?

No, I just don't know how he'll react,
Frank.

All right.

Incidentally, Brokaw sent out Crocker to
pick up Mary Torino. Maybe she can give

us something. Hey, Frank, she's with a
psycho.

I mean, a cop gets near her, he'll blow
her away. He'll blow Crocker away. Put

out a call. You get Crocker back.

Brokaw gave the order. What are you
telling me? Let it happen?

I'm telling you we're dealing with an
assistant chief from headquarters who

knows his business, not another beat cop
from Manhattan North.

Frank, it was a bad move.

Now you get Crocker back, okay? Blame it
on me. Just do it and fast. I'm coming

right over.

Tracy, call communications.

Have Crocker return at once.

They just set up a plant.

Now, you watch a pro and learn, kid.

First, we assess the situation.

Then, now, Greenstein's office is in the
back.

Mary Torino usually waits for him until
he finishes his business. Then she takes

him home.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, sir. They
said assess, not attack.

Now, you stay out here and you cover the
street.

I'll go around the back.

Just stay out of sight.

How long do I know to wait till I go in?

I think you've been watching too many
movies.

Now, this is not a raid.

Now, you stay out here until I call,
yeah?

And if she comes running out, then, you
know, you grab her like that, okay?

Okay, sir.

Hey, you keep at it, you'll be good at
it someday.

Like Lieutenant Kojak?

Hey, baby, better.

Like me.

I'm telling you, it's gonna work.

Barnable's never made a straight meet in
all his life.

This one will be straight and also be
his last.

There's going to be a lot of people
there, Joe.

Be nice for them to remember, Mary.

Suppose there's cops.

Whether it's Terranova, there's cops.

I'll say it again.

Everybody go.

No witnesses, no worries.

Give me some ice, Mary.

It's okay.

No way. I did it clean, I swear.

We got nothing to worry about.

Yeah.

Maybe he was just nosing around, huh?

Go on, get the car. Let's get him out of
here.

Gino, you don't just hit a cop.

It's okay. Relax. Go on, get the car.

You still alive?

Most of me is.

You know, somebody decided to get rid of
a headache named Gina and give you the

credit for it.

How do you feel?

I'm okay, sir.

What about that woman you went after?

Well, I think I saw her before I got
hit, but I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Well, that's okay.

At least you tried.

So why don't you go home? Take some
time.

Get some rest.

Would you come with me, Lieutenant?

You too, Captain.

An officer has been attacked.

The suspect is dead. And that woman
remains on the street.

Friso!

Chief. The gangs are setting up a major
meet. We're now sure of that. That woman

is keeping us on top of it. Sir, put out
an alarm for Mary Torino.

The lieutenant will give you a detailed
description.

I'm sure he can even tell you where her
dimples are.

Yes, sir.

Like you said, you can't stay around
forever.

Yeah, blonde.

Female. Cook.

Call this number.

How's the cops?

You really care?

Look, it was me that kept them from
killing them.

It's your fault.

Why'd you send the cops after me?

I didn't. It was somebody else's idea.

Listen, I gotta get back there.

They've moved the meeting again.

Look, you don't con me.

I got a team of cops out there getting
frostbite.

And now you tell me we're in the wrong
place?

out my kid's life.

To the Superior Theater on 10th.

Superior Theater?

Benedict knows that place.

Oh, God.

Hey, don't worry about it, okay?

We're trying to handle this all without
a shootout.

That's it, Frank. Newman Owen or
Benedict.

He's the one that's been hitting both
sides and it's working.

They're so scared they're gonna sit
down.

And Benedict, he plays the Xavier.

When we catch them together, we have a
solid conspiracy case.

Lieutenant, come on in.

Long day?

Like all the others, sir.

You find that woman yet?

No, sir, not yet.

Would you close the door?

You don't like me very much, do you?

Chief, I'm sorry. I've got to go.

Be careful!

Take it from me, Lieutenant.

It's not good enough just to do the job
well.

Everybody needs somebody.

You do, I do.

You neglected to tell me of the plan.

You neglected to bring in that woman.

You contradict me in front of the men.

You ignore my instructions.

Now, how can line officers be expected
to obey when their lieutenant chooses

to? You're right, sir.

I'll get off the case.

Now we get to the root of your intent,
to be made a martyr, nailed to a cross

front of your men so they'll never take
instructions from me. And I had hoped we

could work together.

Perhaps we see things differently, sir.

I am your chief. You see things my way.
That's the way it works.

Frank, we have a problem at Manhattan
South.

I know that, Howard.

Now, you know I can't go back downtown
with empty pockets.

I don't want to disrupt your staff, but
I must have cooperation.

I mean, you'll all be here after I'm
gone.

Now, I'm not a vindictive man, but
Lieutenant Kojak is a renegade, and

got to talk to him, Frank.

I'll talk to him, Howard.

Thanks. I'll appreciate the effort.

Kojak, you and I, we'd make a great
team.

If only we could get past that damned
aggressive drive that propelled us all.

Howard, could we discuss this further
over dinner?

Uh... No, thanks. I have an appointment.

I can't stay very long. Oh, I'm
disappointed.

How are

you?

Exhausted.

I was passed over for promotion again.

You're a bright man. They'll realize
that sooner or later.

You know, it's been my philosophy that a
police officer shouldn't get involved

in politics.

It's a big city with big problems.
Plenty enough to do there without

into any other area.

We could lie down and just hold each
other.

I was a captain.

30 years old.

Only 30 years old and a captain.

One of the youngest ever.

Then we went to this party.

Did I ever tell you about that party?

It was someone's wife, a state senator.

No, no, no, a city councilman.

Very attractive.

She was bored and I guess I had a few
too many.

My wife was chatting with a politician
and she was bored.

I was playing a game and she got drunk.

She always got drunk.

I can't blame her.

I spent most of my life being a good
cop.

I got to be a good husband.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

All I want is God -forsaken life of mine
and someone to listen to me.

Now, this case I'm on.

I'm going to make the power to be
understand that I am still an able man.

I would make an excellent commander.

I really would.

Then you will.

What happens to life?

Where does it all go wrong?

I don't know.

I tried very hard to get to the top.

And I had it all. I had it all.

But I feel very good about this case.

I really do. I really do.

And I am going to whip them into shape.

Yes, sir, I am going to put them on
track.

Kojak or no Kojak.

Yes, Kojak's Hulk. crew just left.

They got a call.

They went to the new stakeout.

It sounded important.

I heard about the new stakeout.

Simon.

Well?

What does he want, Frank?

Dreams that won't come true.

And he blew those dreams himself, Theo,
a long time ago.

He was good.

He was the best.

He had a mark on him.

He was king of the hill.

And he knew it.

But then the whole Cucifredo hit the
fan, and he made mistakes.

Like the rest of us.

But at the goals he was aiming for,
mistakes are not forgiven.

Mary Torino's life is in my hands. How
do I make him understand that?

I mean, how do you handle something like
this?

I just spoke with Brennan downtown.

It wasn't easy for him.

But he finally admitted that this new
assignment for Brokaw was make work to

the man out of the way.

He's not ready to retire.

They can't make him quit. And he knows
it.

Now these murders come along, he thinks
it's a chance to prove they made a

mistake. See how that man is drowning?

So?

What do you want me to do?

Understand.

Lieutenant, Detective Rizzo.

Rizzo? Lieutenant, you name the con,
he's here.

Benedict? No, I'm not. of the big guys
are here yet, but two of Benedict's men

are here.

All right, remember, don't rush it.

Okay.

Call the standby sector units.

Have them get down to the theater right
away.

I want every... I

want every felon pulled in the instant
he's ID'd. Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Hey, Crocker, would you look at this
parade?

It's like a convention down there.

First, Greenstein's men show up, go over
the place with a magnifying glass.

Doors, windows, fire escapes. They even
have walkie -talkies.

A few minutes later, two Italian Overs
men show up.

Go over the same routine.

Then Benedict's team gets here.

Uh, we better get back down there.

No, stay.

Uh, the chief called us to pick up any
hood with an open wallet.

Hey, Crawford, my informant is in there.

You want us to choose between a
lieutenant that we respect or the chief

throw the book at us? What kind of deal
is that? You want me to make the

decision? Look, this could be the
biggest bust in ten years.

If you do it my way and we fail, then
Brokaw, he can grind you all up,

me. If we succeed, then we're just doing
our job.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Papa Benedict in all his glory. All
right, Crocker, you take Stubbers and

take the rookie, and you go to the back
of the theater. There are three blue and

whites down there. You take a couple of
uniforms to assist you.

Now, when you hear me on the bullhorn,
you go in the back way, but you do

nothing until they come out. Don't use
your walkie -talkies. They might hear

you. If we don't surprise them on both
ends, they could be a bloodbath. Go

ahead.

What do we have?

The gang's all here, sir.

All right, men, go.

Uh, wait a minute. Did you, uh,
recognize anyone with a warrant on him?

Yes, sir.

Did you pick him up?

I see.

Okay, man.

When you hear me on the bullhorn, you
hold your position.

Now go ahead.

You think you've won.

I never meant it to be a contest, sir.

Word will get around that killings
weren't the result of lazy police work,

calculated gang war.

You were right. I was wrong.

Well, the least you are in my eyes is
insubordinate.

I don't know what I've become lately.

Don't you?

You know, I've fought men like you all
my life.

How can I stop being what I am and start
being somebody you can get along with,

sir?

And what kind of a cop would that make
me?

I don't know.

But one thing I do know, Lieutenant, I
will punish you.

I know that.

What I don't know is why you waited so
long.

Arrest her.

Marry Torino.

You're not disobeying orders.

Arrest!

Now,

if you come here, I've got to gag him.

He said he's a fine man. Do you know
that? Do you know what he is? Look what

did to him! Keep your mouth closed until
I get my men out of there or I'll come

back and blow your head off.

Get out of here, please.

Go!

the position, spread them, hands up,
take a bow, and like that.

Senator Kojak, I asked you a question.

Now, did you or did you not keep the
facts of the stakeouts from Chief

Yes, sir, I did.

And your reasons?

Well, I felt that we should not move on
that theater until we had the best

possible conspiracy case, which required
as many gangsters there as possible.

Well, how were you so sure that they'd
arrive?

I trusted my informant.

But the woman that you didn't pick up
earlier?

Yes, sir.

She was my only close contact with the
gang, and as it turned out, she was the

best. Lieutenant, the chief ordered you
to arrest her.

That would have meant her a certain
execution.

Right or wrong, we had made a deal long
before Chief Brucko arrived on the

scene.

Chief,

all we're trying to do is to make some
sense of this office's actions on one

particular case.

Well, then question me.

I was the ranking officer on the scene.

This case had been floundering and had
bogged down for months.

And I came into Manhattan South to get
the job done.

But Lieutenant Kojak blocked me at every
opportunity.

Now, let's get back to the matter of
Mary Torino.

Now, Lieutenant, did you ignore the
chief at the time that he gave orders to

pick that girl up?

Yes, sir.

I felt he didn't have all the facts.

And later, outside the plant?

Yes, sir.

Why?

Well, I would have started a shootout,
and I tried to explain.

Men were in danger. I had to make a
decision.

And I did.

I see.

Gentlemen, I mean, is that why you think
I called this hearing? Because some of

my orders were ignored in some cases?

Oh, no.

It goes beyond that. It's much deeper.

Now, you all believe that Manhattan
South is doing such a bang -up job,

you see requisitions for UF -61
complaint form.

Well, last night, there was this
wastebasket in the squad room at

Manhattan South, and I stopped the
maintenance man from dumping it, and we

inventoried the contents together.

They are using complaint forms for scrap
paper.

Official documents for scrap paper.

Do I shock you?

Please, let me show you something, Gina.

I have here 35 complaint forms that were
all crumpled.

and thrown into the wastebasket. 35.
Now, how many complaints did we take

yesterday?

Seven. Seven. Wasn't that seven? That
leaves 28.

That's 28 complaint forms sooner that we
have to reorder pads from downtown.

Now, that's 28 complaint forms every
day.

That's 196 per week, and it's...

10 ,192 per year.

Why, my goodness, headquarters must
think we've got all the feet blocked.

And here, here.

This one right here is from Captain
McNeil's.

Old wastebasket, that one. And here,
here.

This one, this one.

These, these are all from, from
Lieutenant, Lieutenant.

Code Jets.

I will be a good commissioner.

I will execute the duties of my office
with great dedication.

And I will be fair and just at all
times.

I'm here.

Hello, Lieutenant Kojak.

Listen, I'm sorry this whole thing had
to happen, and I'd like to apologize.

You know, he was through ten years ago.

We shouldn't have given him useless
assignments whereby he had to lie to

that they were important.

Chief, your car is waiting downstairs.

Well, anyway, my apologies.

All right, sir.

Leo.

Thanks.

And let him out for a few days.

If you get picked up for anything, I'm
going to put you in a cage and I'm going

to melt the key. Do you understand?

Oh, you'll be good.

He's got such a great guy behind him.
Yeah.

And take care of your mother.

All right.

Bob.

I guess there's nothing left to say.

I know you worked real hard for this.

It was nothing.

Nothing at all. Just a piece of cake.
