1
00:02:02,987 --> 00:02:07,185
[Groans]
Flora was asking for you.

2
00:02:07,258 --> 00:02:10,625
<i>She wants to know how come she hasn't
seen you anymore in the deli.</i>

3
00:02:10,694 --> 00:02:15,063
Oh, yeah?
Well, the next time you see her,
tell her I'm on bivouac with a gorilla.

4
00:02:15,132 --> 00:02:17,692
[Chuckles]
Come on. She ain't that bad.

5
00:02:17,768 --> 00:02:20,566
Ah!

6
00:02:20,638 --> 00:02:23,266
- Oh, that Flora. I told her lean.
- No, no, it's not the corned beef sandwich.

7
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:27,106
<i>Everything I eat tastes like
old towel rolls, you know?</i>

8
00:02:27,177 --> 00:02:30,544
These last couple of weeks,
my stomach feels like
something crawled in it and died.

9
00:02:30,614 --> 00:02:34,243
Why don't you drop by this weekend?
Some of Ellen's cooking
will unclog your plumbing, hmm?

10
00:02:34,318 --> 00:02:36,411
<i>- Ah, Eddie, thanks. I'd like to, but...
- [Horn Honking]</i>

11
00:02:41,859 --> 00:02:44,089
Fleischman. Wow, look at that valise.

12
00:02:45,329 --> 00:02:47,263
<i>There's gotta be 20 grand in there,
maybe more.</i>

13
00:02:47,331 --> 00:02:51,199
Come on. He may be on his way to
an all-night laundry with some dirty shorts.

14
00:02:51,268 --> 00:02:53,862
Will you stay loose, Benny?
We've been on this case for six weeks.

15
00:02:53,938 --> 00:02:56,463
If he burns us now,
Kojak's gonna bust our chops.
Come on.

16
00:03:48,258 --> 00:03:50,283
- Come on.
- [Groans]

17
00:03:51,395 --> 00:03:55,024
<i>You all right?
Yeah, yeah.</i>

18
00:03:56,767 --> 00:03:59,497
- What are you doing?
- I was gonna call in for backup.

19
00:03:59,570 --> 00:04:03,165
Benny, there ain't but two of'em in there,
and Artie Fleischman's
a certified cream puff.

20
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,504
- Now come on.
Cover the back, will you?
- Now, wait a minute.

21
00:04:05,576 --> 00:04:07,669
How can you be sure
there's only two of them inside?

22
00:04:07,745 --> 00:04:10,043
Because Artie's dealing
with Solly DeCicco,

23
00:04:10,114 --> 00:04:12,082
and Solly don't like crowds around when
the balloons are flying.

24
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:14,083
Now, go on. Be a good boy
and get the alley, will you?

25
00:04:14,151 --> 00:04:18,349
We sit around here
flapping our gums any longer,
this gig'll miss the first edition.

26
00:04:18,422 --> 00:04:20,890
Uh, do me a favor.
Give it 60 seconds, then go ahead in.

27
00:04:20,958 --> 00:04:22,949
Okay.

28
00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:42,472
[Groans]

29
00:04:46,483 --> 00:04:49,145
<i>[Gunshot]
Eddie!</i>

30
00:04:59,596 --> 00:05:01,894
[Siren Wailing]

31
00:05:11,675 --> 00:05:14,769
<i>Being that he was one of the most
decorated officers in your district, Captain,</i>

32
00:05:14,845 --> 00:05:18,212
would you characterize the death
of Detective Ryan as an irreplaceable loss?

33
00:05:18,282 --> 00:05:22,912
Well, Miss Wina, I consider the loss
of any of my officers irreplaceable.

34
00:05:22,986 --> 00:05:25,113
<i>Lieutenant, look at this.</i>

35
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:27,089
A shotgun.
No way we're gonna trace this guy.

36
00:05:27,157 --> 00:05:29,523
<i>[Kojak]
What kind of a load did he use?
Number five shot. You saw the body.</i>

37
00:05:29,593 --> 00:05:31,527
At 10 feet, it'd blow a hole
right through that wall.

38
00:05:31,595 --> 00:05:35,053
We dug these out of the back alley.
Three slugs, all from a.38, all in a cluster.

39
00:05:35,132 --> 00:05:39,296
In a cluster?
In soft asphalt with a radius
of maybe two and a half feet.

40
00:05:39,369 --> 00:05:41,894
What does that mean to you?

41
00:05:41,972 --> 00:05:44,532
Come on, Prince!
That's a dead cop,
not yesterday's garbage!

42
00:05:44,608 --> 00:05:48,169
They weren't spent, Lieutenant.
You can see for yourself
they flattened at impact.

43
00:05:48,245 --> 00:05:50,941
It's as if...
as if he fired at the ground.

44
00:06:03,327 --> 00:06:05,557
My fault, Theo. It's all my fault.
I should have stuck with him.

45
00:06:05,629 --> 00:06:07,620
You should have called out
the horse marines!

46
00:06:07,698 --> 00:06:09,666
A layout like this with no backup?

47
00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:12,099
<i>Yeah, well, Eddie said...
Eddie said!
Nineteen years on the force,</i>

48
00:06:12,169 --> 00:06:14,467
you needed his permission
to go to the can?

49
00:06:14,538 --> 00:06:17,098
- Aw, come on, Theo.
- Come on where?

50
00:06:17,174 --> 00:06:19,108
I'm sick and tired of going
to inspector's funerals!

51
00:06:19,176 --> 00:06:22,668
Now, what are you talkin'?
You think I wouldn't have
spared you this if I could?

52
00:06:24,047 --> 00:06:25,981
Okay.

53
00:06:27,551 --> 00:06:30,145
Come on.
Play it back for me.

54
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:32,154
Well, like, you know,
for the past six months,

55
00:06:32,222 --> 00:06:35,419
we've been investigating this
counterfeit lottery ticket operation.

56
00:06:35,492 --> 00:06:38,484
We knew that Fleischman
was marketing the queer,
but, uh, we couldn't firm it up,

57
00:06:38,562 --> 00:06:41,463
<i>not without plugging him into the outfit
that's merchandising the stuff.</i>

58
00:06:41,532 --> 00:06:45,161
Anyway, the, uh, grapevine says
that it's, uh, DeCicco,
but go and prove it.

59
00:06:45,235 --> 00:06:47,567
Yeah, sure.
Tell me about it.

60
00:06:47,638 --> 00:06:52,507
DeCicco's out on parole.
He's seen picking his nose in public,
he goes into the slam for good.

61
00:06:52,576 --> 00:06:54,635
Yeah, well, anyway,
we plant on Fleischman...

62
00:06:54,711 --> 00:06:57,043
thinking sooner or later
he's gonna lead us to the man.

63
00:06:57,114 --> 00:07:00,106
Well, six times he shakes us,
but not tonight.
Tonight, we got lucky.

64
00:07:00,184 --> 00:07:03,278
Yeah, sure.
Tonight, we all got lucky.

65
00:07:06,423 --> 00:07:10,484
Hey, look, you wasted three rounds...
three rounds... and you blew away the alley.

66
00:07:10,561 --> 00:07:13,553
<i>How come?
What do you mean, "how come"?
It was dark. Everything happened so fast.</i>

67
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:17,157
So fast. How come
you didn't blow your legs off?

68
00:07:17,234 --> 00:07:20,226
All right, what is it?
I tossed the garage, Lieutenant.

69
00:07:20,304 --> 00:07:22,238
And what you see is what we got.

70
00:07:22,306 --> 00:07:25,707
Printing press, counterfeit plates,
ink, paper,

71
00:07:25,776 --> 00:07:28,040
a couple of boxes
full of phony lottery tickets.

72
00:07:28,111 --> 00:07:30,045
No cash, no receipts, nothing.

73
00:07:30,113 --> 00:07:33,674
All right, you get the uniform force
to lock off the premises, you understand?
Put a man on the door.

74
00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:37,811
Find out who the owner of the property is,
a lessee if there is one.
And what's Artie Fleischman's address?

75
00:07:37,888 --> 00:07:40,982
Uh, Elsinore Apartments.
437 West 54th Street.

76
00:07:41,058 --> 00:07:42,650
You got that?
Yes.

77
00:07:42,726 --> 00:07:45,889
I want this Fleischman.
He's probably split already. Put out an alarm.
Okay, Lieutenant.

78
00:07:47,431 --> 00:07:49,922
And what's the number on the cab?
652-T1.

79
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,460
But how the hell can he testify?
I mean, all he can say is that
he dropped a fare off.

80
00:07:54,538 --> 00:07:56,665
Fleischman waited till the cab took off
before he went inside.

81
00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:59,504
- And DeCicco was already here?
- Yeah, well, sure.

82
00:07:59,576 --> 00:08:01,510
"Yeah, well, sure" what?

83
00:08:01,578 --> 00:08:04,046
<i>Did you see him?
No, but, uh, in the alley...</i>

84
00:08:04,114 --> 00:08:06,605
<i>"In the alley."
In the alley, you couldn't see anything.</i>

85
00:08:06,683 --> 00:08:10,517
In the alley it was so dark,
you couldn't find your mouth
with a five-dollar pizza.

86
00:08:14,024 --> 00:08:17,425
Come on.
Let's do some business.

87
00:08:17,494 --> 00:08:19,553
Where do you think you're going?
Where do you think I'm going?

88
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:22,098
I'm going to interview a cop killer.

89
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:31,300
I wanted to call up a backup team,
but he wanted to make the first edition.

90
00:08:31,375 --> 00:08:34,435
Don't worry about it.
He did.

91
00:08:39,216 --> 00:08:41,980
It's the heat.

92
00:08:42,052 --> 00:08:44,316
You're so obvious.
Must be those tacky threads.

93
00:08:44,388 --> 00:08:46,754
We gotta do something
about changing your image.

94
00:08:46,823 --> 00:08:50,589
I just thought I'd invite myself in, okay?
Why stand on ceremony?

95
00:08:50,661 --> 00:08:55,098
When old acquaintances get together,
who needs the formality of a warrant?

96
00:08:55,165 --> 00:08:59,898
Well, look at this.
All this amazement, this mute surprise.

97
00:08:59,970 --> 00:09:04,202
Why in the world would
a lieutenant of detectives come calling
at such an unearthly hour?

98
00:09:04,274 --> 00:09:07,243
What do you say, Kojak?

99
00:09:07,311 --> 00:09:10,007
Lieutenant Kojak, you cockroach.

100
00:09:11,581 --> 00:09:13,708
Well!
[Chuckles]

101
00:09:13,784 --> 00:09:18,551
As I live and breathe.
Warren G. Harding.

102
00:09:18,622 --> 00:09:21,284
The name is Gance, Lieutenant.
I believe we've met before.

103
00:09:21,358 --> 00:09:23,690
Of course we have, counselor.
I book 'em and you bail 'em.

104
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,251
Between us,
we make a great revolving door.

105
00:09:26,330 --> 00:09:30,699
And last but not least,
this cluster of debutantes.

106
00:09:30,767 --> 00:09:33,361
Hey, look, Diedre, I'm sorry
I missed your coming-out party.

107
00:09:33,437 --> 00:09:36,065
I heard you were crowned
Miss Silicone. Is that right?

108
00:09:36,139 --> 00:09:39,131
<i>Hey, Kojak, did you come here
to break in a nightclub act,</i>

109
00:09:39,209 --> 00:09:41,769
<i>or was there
something special you wanted?</i>

110
00:09:43,513 --> 00:09:48,507
Hey, counselor, you tell your client
to have his mouth behave,

111
00:09:48,585 --> 00:09:50,712
or he's a prime candidate
for a "get well" card.

112
00:09:50,787 --> 00:09:53,187
He threatened me!
You heard that. He threatened me!

113
00:09:56,493 --> 00:10:00,293
Greeks, they don't threaten.
They utter prophecies.

114
00:10:08,238 --> 00:10:12,231
Naturally, Lieutenant, Mr. DeCicco
desires to cooperate, but...

115
00:10:12,309 --> 00:10:15,039
But, uh, would I get to the point.

116
00:10:15,112 --> 00:10:18,343
The point is, counselor,
one of my detectives, Eddie Ryan...

117
00:10:18,415 --> 00:10:20,815
<i>Does, uh, that name ring any chimes?</i>

118
00:10:20,884 --> 00:10:23,648
<i>Captain Midnight,
the darling of the Daily News.</i>

119
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,211
All of that and she can read too.

120
00:10:26,289 --> 00:10:30,157
<i>And that's right.
And he went from page one
to the obituary columns,</i>

121
00:10:30,227 --> 00:10:32,252
and I was wondering if Solly
could tell us how that happened?

122
00:10:33,997 --> 00:10:36,761
That don't sound like
no brain-stumper to me.
I'd say that Ryan must be dead.

123
00:10:36,833 --> 00:10:39,199
- You'd say? You knew he was dead!
- Hold it!

124
00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:41,931
- You crud!
- How could I know a thing like that?

125
00:10:42,005 --> 00:10:45,839
'Cause at 1:17 in the West Village,
Artie Fleischman was present...

126
00:10:45,909 --> 00:10:48,377
went you pumped a load of number five
into Eddie Ryan's gut.

127
00:10:50,614 --> 00:10:52,878
At 1:17 a.m.,

128
00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:57,113
I was goin' down doubled,
redoubled and highly vulnerable
in a six no-trump.

129
00:10:57,187 --> 00:10:59,587
And so say you all, right?

130
00:10:59,656 --> 00:11:04,389
Lieutenant, would you be kind enough
to explain to me the basis
for this preposterous allegation?

131
00:11:04,461 --> 00:11:06,759
Well, there are
two alternatives, counselor.

132
00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:09,890
I know Artie Fleischman didn't do it.
I mean, with no priors before.

133
00:11:09,966 --> 00:11:13,834
<i>What could he get on a counterfeiting rap,
zip to five?</i>

134
00:11:13,904 --> 00:11:16,099
In other words,
he wasn't motivated, counselor.

135
00:11:16,173 --> 00:11:19,609
And, uh, Mr. DeCicco has a motivation?

136
00:11:19,676 --> 00:11:22,645
<i>[Kojak]
A two-time loser? Parolee?</i>

137
00:11:22,712 --> 00:11:25,146
If he goes up again,
he gets life plus 10.

138
00:11:25,215 --> 00:11:28,116
Motivated?
He'd wipe out an entire precinct.

139
00:11:28,185 --> 00:11:30,119
<i>[DeCicco]
You're shadow boxing, Kojak.</i>

140
00:11:30,187 --> 00:11:33,554
If you could tie me to the lottery action,
you'd have pulled me in.

141
00:11:33,623 --> 00:11:38,492
If you could make me on the Ryan hit,
I'd be wearing bracelets.
Let's face it. You got nothin'!

142
00:11:38,562 --> 00:11:42,123
You forget one thing, goombah.

143
00:11:42,199 --> 00:11:44,497
Artie Fleischman puts you
at the scene of the murder.

144
00:11:44,568 --> 00:11:47,935
He put you there with a gun in your hand.
Is he gonna sing?

145
00:11:48,004 --> 00:11:50,768
<i>He's gonna warble like
a speed-freak nightingale.
[Telephone Ringing]</i>

146
00:11:52,175 --> 00:11:54,473
DeCicco residence.

147
00:11:54,544 --> 00:11:57,741
<i>Just a minute.
It's for you, Lieutenant.</i>

148
00:12:05,822 --> 00:12:09,918
- Yeah.
- Lieutenant, I just left Fleischman's pad.

149
00:12:09,993 --> 00:12:14,726
Missed him about five minutes.
The alarm's out already,
but don't hold your breath.

150
00:12:14,798 --> 00:12:17,699
The super said he took off like a man
who's five years behind on his alimony.

151
00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:28,601
<i>[Benny]
So that's it... the little spot?</i>

152
00:12:28,678 --> 00:12:30,737
<i>I'm afraid so.</i>

153
00:12:32,849 --> 00:12:36,808
The biopsy we took last week
confirms it.

154
00:12:42,192 --> 00:12:44,126
You don't have to walk
on eggshells, Doctor.

155
00:12:44,194 --> 00:12:48,392
I get the feeling that
you're spending my time.

156
00:12:48,465 --> 00:12:52,162
Do you want it straight?
I don't want it at all.

157
00:12:56,940 --> 00:13:00,876
I'd give anything for a 10-foot pole
I didn't have to touch it with.

158
00:13:06,316 --> 00:13:08,250
It's the big casino, isn't it?

159
00:13:08,318 --> 00:13:12,084
Advanced stomach cancer,

160
00:13:12,155 --> 00:13:15,318
malignant and inoperable.

161
00:13:23,767 --> 00:13:26,065
I figured l...

162
00:13:26,136 --> 00:13:30,038
I had, like, a bleeding ulcer.

163
00:13:30,106 --> 00:13:32,700
I didn't think it was anything
that was going to kill me.

164
00:13:41,551 --> 00:13:45,043
How long?

165
00:13:45,121 --> 00:13:47,589
Under optimum conditions,

166
00:13:47,657 --> 00:13:50,990
nine, 10 months.

167
00:13:51,061 --> 00:13:53,188
Maybe a year.

168
00:13:58,401 --> 00:14:03,361
I can, of course,
recommend certain diets,

169
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,468
prescribe medication
to alleviate the pain, the nausea.

170
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,678
What kind of work do you do,
Mr. Fiore?

171
00:14:15,051 --> 00:14:17,383
Hmm?

172
00:14:17,454 --> 00:14:20,787
What kind of work do you do?

173
00:14:20,857 --> 00:14:24,657
Oh, I'm, uh...

174
00:14:24,728 --> 00:14:27,060
I'm a social worker.

175
00:14:28,965 --> 00:14:32,401
Unless we find out different,
we're gonna figure that Fleischman's
holed up in this borough someplace.

176
00:14:32,469 --> 00:14:35,404
Well, I want him.
I want him alive, and I want him now.

177
00:14:35,472 --> 00:14:37,372
<i>What about DeCicco?
24-hour surveillance.</i>

178
00:14:37,474 --> 00:14:40,773
I don't think of him to do anything stupid.
We'll stay on top of him just in case.

179
00:14:40,844 --> 00:14:41,936
And Crocker?
Yeah?

180
00:14:42,012 --> 00:14:44,412
Get up a list of Solly's
best known associates.

181
00:14:44,481 --> 00:14:46,642
Let's see. He's been away on that farm
for 11 months.

182
00:14:46,716 --> 00:14:48,843
He came in contact
with new faces, didn't he?

183
00:14:48,918 --> 00:14:52,183
Shook a few new hands?
Stavros?
Yes, sir?

184
00:14:52,255 --> 00:14:55,247
Check with the D.A.
How many prosecutions in connection
with the lottery operation?

185
00:14:55,325 --> 00:14:57,122
Every name on that list I want!
You got it, Lieu...

186
00:14:57,193 --> 00:15:00,458
Not enough!

187
00:15:00,530 --> 00:15:02,521
I want them to pick up the tab
for a change.

188
00:15:02,599 --> 00:15:06,091
I want them to know that
we don't come cheap.
And how we gonna do that?

189
00:15:06,169 --> 00:15:08,967
Pressure! You're gonna pressure
every pimp, every shylock,

190
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,007
every bookie, every foot soldier,

191
00:15:11,074 --> 00:15:13,372
every hit man, every streetwalker.

192
00:15:13,443 --> 00:15:16,640
They sneeze in the subway,
bust their chops.

193
00:15:16,713 --> 00:15:18,647
They ask you the time of day,
you lock 'em up.

194
00:15:18,715 --> 00:15:21,684
Let the word go out loud and clear!

195
00:15:21,751 --> 00:15:26,552
That's the way it's gonna be
until Eddie Ryan's killer's in the Tombs.

196
00:15:29,459 --> 00:15:31,654
Mmm!

197
00:15:31,728 --> 00:15:33,992
Don't forget to read them their rights.

198
00:15:39,035 --> 00:15:41,299
<i>[Knocking]</i>

199
00:15:52,082 --> 00:15:54,642
Come in.

200
00:16:02,692 --> 00:16:06,458
I would have been here sooner,
Ellen, only l...
It's all right, Ben.

201
00:16:08,365 --> 00:16:12,028
Theo was over.
Oh, Theo was over.

202
00:16:12,102 --> 00:16:14,093
I guess he's got it down to a science.

203
00:16:14,170 --> 00:16:16,934
Another death,
another callous reasoning for...

204
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:23,607
Come on in the kitchen.
I have some fresh coffee cooking.

205
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,740
Oh, no. No, no.
No coffee for me.

206
00:16:26,816 --> 00:16:30,115
No?
No, I worked too hard
getting this buzz on.

207
00:16:31,621 --> 00:16:33,555
Oh. I, uh...

208
00:16:33,623 --> 00:16:37,150
I thought you'd like to have this
for the scrapbook.

209
00:16:37,227 --> 00:16:40,594
What is it?
Eddie did good.
He made front page.

210
00:16:40,663 --> 00:16:44,656
Slops over to 17.
Photographs and all.

211
00:16:45,735 --> 00:16:47,999
He was always hard copy.

212
00:16:53,209 --> 00:16:57,543
He's gone, Ellen.
I can't believe it.

213
00:16:59,582 --> 00:17:02,050
I can't believe Eddie
won't be with us anymore.

214
00:17:02,118 --> 00:17:05,451
I can't believe we'll never see
Eddie around here anymore.

215
00:17:05,522 --> 00:17:07,490
I know.

216
00:17:07,557 --> 00:17:10,025
I know.

217
00:17:13,296 --> 00:17:16,629
Hey, that's a lot of peaches.

218
00:17:16,699 --> 00:17:21,602
Oh, yeah. Yeah, l-I was, um,
putting up some preserves.

219
00:17:21,671 --> 00:17:26,768
I was doing it when the call came.
So, you know, what do you do
with 40 pounds of peaches?

220
00:17:30,246 --> 00:17:32,714
Oh, Ellen, Ellen.

221
00:17:32,782 --> 00:17:34,909
I loved him.

222
00:17:34,984 --> 00:17:36,952
All I ever had was love for him.
You know that.

223
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:38,920
I know.

224
00:17:40,123 --> 00:17:44,992
You know, when I was a kid,
people would ask me,
"What do you wanna be when you grow up?"

225
00:17:45,061 --> 00:17:47,757
Well, I wanted to be like Eddie Ryan.
Honest to God.

226
00:17:47,831 --> 00:17:49,822
Honest to God.

227
00:17:54,938 --> 00:17:56,929
I, uh...

228
00:17:58,374 --> 00:18:02,936
I was going through his clothes,
and I was looking for something
to bury him in.

229
00:18:06,015 --> 00:18:07,949
And, uh, you know,

230
00:18:08,017 --> 00:18:11,316
he didn't have anything
that you could really call a... a suit.

231
00:18:11,387 --> 00:18:15,756
I can't lay him out in, uh,

232
00:18:15,825 --> 00:18:19,886
rhinestones and recycled blue jeans,
can I?

233
00:18:19,963 --> 00:18:21,897
I mean, he'd look like David Bowie.

234
00:18:21,965 --> 00:18:24,559
Why not?
I mean, Eddie would dig that.

235
00:18:24,634 --> 00:18:28,161
Can you see the commissioner's face?
[Laughing]

236
00:18:28,238 --> 00:18:32,174
[Laughing, Sobbing]

237
00:18:32,242 --> 00:18:37,578
Oh, God!
Oh, God!

238
00:18:37,647 --> 00:18:39,706
Oh, Ellen, why does it hurt so much?

239
00:18:43,453 --> 00:18:44,943
Oh, gung ho Eddie.

240
00:18:45,021 --> 00:18:48,286
Fast Eddie. Crazy Eddie.

241
00:18:50,627 --> 00:18:52,618
"He'll get you killed,"
they said to me.

242
00:18:52,695 --> 00:18:55,687
<i>Get me killed? I mean, every time
there was a door to go through,</i>

243
00:18:55,765 --> 00:19:01,260
he was the first one to go through it,
laughing at death like God
had a bulletproof vest around him.

244
00:19:03,273 --> 00:19:05,332
What am I gonna do, Ellen?

245
00:19:06,442 --> 00:19:10,503
What you've always done... hang tough.

246
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:13,208
Is that what you're gonna do...
hang tough?

247
00:19:16,819 --> 00:19:19,686
All the nights that we robbed you.

248
00:19:19,756 --> 00:19:22,782
All the Sunday picnics.

249
00:19:22,859 --> 00:19:24,850
Oh, not you, Ben.

250
00:19:26,296 --> 00:19:28,457
You never robbed me of anything.

251
00:19:28,531 --> 00:19:30,965
Weren't you ever lonely?

252
00:19:33,870 --> 00:19:37,362
Were you?

253
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,536
Yes. I was lonely.

254
00:19:42,712 --> 00:19:47,877
You didn't have to be.
There were all those girls
that you could have had.

255
00:19:53,122 --> 00:19:55,920
I remember a movie once...

256
00:19:55,992 --> 00:20:01,089
where, uh, Clark Gable
was a test pilot.

257
00:20:03,366 --> 00:20:07,735
<i>And he was married to, uh,
Myrna Loy.</i>

258
00:20:07,804 --> 00:20:12,400
And then there was Spence.
Good old Spencer Tracy.

259
00:20:18,748 --> 00:20:21,842
Ben, I've used you.

260
00:20:21,918 --> 00:20:24,182
Can you ever forgive me for that?

261
00:20:24,253 --> 00:20:28,451
Ellen, don't ever think that.
Spence was very happy.

262
00:20:28,524 --> 00:20:30,014
Was he?

263
00:20:30,093 --> 00:20:32,755
Sure he was.

264
00:20:32,829 --> 00:20:36,959
Just being around Myrna
meant the world and all to him.

265
00:20:51,547 --> 00:20:53,708
<i>[Man Laughing]
Hey, how do I look, huh?</i>

266
00:20:53,783 --> 00:20:55,774
<i>Right on! Look at this!
Hey, Lieutenant?</i>

267
00:20:55,852 --> 00:20:57,786
Yeah?
Would you believe this?

268
00:20:57,854 --> 00:21:00,084
<i>[Ben]
Hey! Right on, man!
[Chattering]</i>

269
00:21:00,156 --> 00:21:03,614
<i>[Laughing]
Hey, right on!</i>

270
00:21:03,693 --> 00:21:07,993
<i>So, what do you think, huh?
What do you think? Tell the truth.</i>

271
00:21:08,064 --> 00:21:11,227
Right on, huh?

272
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:12,733
Fiore!

273
00:21:12,802 --> 00:21:14,793
[Chattering Stops]

274
00:21:33,823 --> 00:21:37,259
- What's the gag?
- What do you mean, "what's the gag"?

275
00:21:37,326 --> 00:21:39,590
You told me you wanted me
to change my image.

276
00:21:39,662 --> 00:21:42,187
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about that.

277
00:21:42,265 --> 00:21:45,393
So if I ask you to lose some weight,
what do you do, cut off your left arm?

278
00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:48,926
You're three hours late,
and you show up looking like
Zsa Zsa Gabor's Christmas tree.

279
00:21:49,005 --> 00:21:51,997
Oh, yeah.
Well, I had something I had to do.

280
00:21:52,075 --> 00:21:56,671
Like what? Make a breakfast tour
of the West Side soak holes?

281
00:21:56,746 --> 00:21:58,577
Sit down, will you,
before I get you some Dramamine.

282
00:21:58,648 --> 00:22:00,843
<i>Saperstein?
Yeah?</i>

283
00:22:00,917 --> 00:22:02,782
<i>Bring two cups ofblack coffee.
Right.</i>

284
00:22:02,852 --> 00:22:05,753
What are you trying to prove, Ben?
And what are you doin'?

285
00:22:05,822 --> 00:22:09,019
Auditioning for Ryan's spot
as resident leading man?

286
00:22:09,092 --> 00:22:11,754
Aw, come on, Theo.

287
00:22:11,828 --> 00:22:15,457
Well, I'll be damned.
You are.

288
00:22:19,035 --> 00:22:21,799
Here.
What is that?
What is that?

289
00:22:21,871 --> 00:22:23,862
Here, drink the coffee.

290
00:22:26,642 --> 00:22:31,636
Benny, I'm gonna tell you something
I never told anyone.

291
00:22:31,714 --> 00:22:35,206
Eddie Ryan,
he wasn't my kind of a cop.

292
00:22:35,284 --> 00:22:37,218
My kind of a cop is a guy like you.

293
00:22:37,286 --> 00:22:40,722
Hey, I'm not kiddin'.
Oh, yeah.

294
00:22:40,790 --> 00:22:44,624
Every department needs
its authentic folk hero.

295
00:22:44,694 --> 00:22:49,996
And as a P.R. Man,
Ryan got us a lot of good press,
and that's why I tolerated his, uh...

296
00:22:50,066 --> 00:22:52,000
his offhanded tactics,

297
00:22:52,068 --> 00:22:56,801
his total disregard for regulations,
his sloppy investigative procedures.

298
00:22:56,873 --> 00:23:00,639
Hey, I wouldn't care if he had
press clippings from here to Passaic.

299
00:23:00,710 --> 00:23:05,238
I would have flopped him years ago,
Benny, if it wasn't for you.

300
00:23:05,314 --> 00:23:07,874
Are you listening?

301
00:23:07,950 --> 00:23:10,817
It was you who made
Eddie Ryan shine so bright.

302
00:23:10,887 --> 00:23:13,617
Good old Ben Fiore
digging up the evidence,

303
00:23:13,689 --> 00:23:16,249
making sure that
it would hold up in court.

304
00:23:16,325 --> 00:23:19,192
Hey, Benny, if it wasn't for you,

305
00:23:19,262 --> 00:23:22,595
Eddie Ryan would have had
as much razzle-dazzle as a wet firecracker.

306
00:23:27,603 --> 00:23:30,333
Is that what you think?

307
00:23:30,406 --> 00:23:33,637
Is that what you think
Eddie Ryan was like?

308
00:23:33,709 --> 00:23:37,975
A grandstander?
Well, let me tell you something.

309
00:23:38,047 --> 00:23:43,485
Eddie Ryan had more guts
than anybody on the Island!
What do you think got him killed?

310
00:23:43,553 --> 00:23:46,989
Dumb got him killed.

311
00:23:47,056 --> 00:23:50,958
Dead is not guts.
Dead is dumb.

312
00:23:53,362 --> 00:23:55,728
Well, you're the lieutenant.

313
00:23:55,798 --> 00:23:58,995
<i>That's right.
I'm the lieutenant.</i>

314
00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:01,969
And what I don't need right now
is the second coming of Eddie Ryan.

315
00:24:02,038 --> 00:24:04,336
<i>What I need is Ryan's killer.</i>

316
00:24:04,407 --> 00:24:07,308
Well, that's what I wanted to tell you, Theo.
I'm going to hand him to you.

317
00:24:08,444 --> 00:24:10,378
I'm gonna hand him to you on a platter.

318
00:24:10,446 --> 00:24:13,973
Thanks, Ben.
With an apple in his mouth, right?

What I want is justice.

This is Inez Wilder.

I'm okay.
I'm calling for Artie Fleischman.

332
00:25:17,647 --> 00:25:23,279
I don't know,
but he wants me to tell you
he wants to deal.

333
00:25:46,943 --> 00:25:49,468
Hello.

334
00:25:51,514 --> 00:25:54,347
Artie's okay, you know?
Mmm.

335
00:25:54,417 --> 00:25:56,647
And if he was Catholic,
he'd be first in line for sainthood.

336
00:25:56,719 --> 00:26:00,018
Come on, Kojak.
Don't dump on him like that.

337

He's got good qualities.
Ethics, you know?

Now, would you stop trying
to razzle-dazzle me?

340
00:26:08,597 --> 00:26:11,122
He's in a hot box.
We're lookin' for him.

341
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,533
Every crook in the world
is turning doorknobs looking for him.

342
00:26:14,603 --> 00:26:17,697
And even DeCicco's torpedoes
are out on a seek-and-destroy.

343
00:26:17,773 --> 00:26:20,469
No, no, he's gonna get clobbered
whichever way he turns.

344
00:26:20,543 --> 00:26:26,140
Okay, maybe he's a little twitchy,
but he ain't caving yet, man.

345
00:26:26,215 --> 00:26:28,149
He wants to plea-bargain, you know?

346
00:26:28,217 --> 00:26:30,617
And what's he got for collateral?
You know!

347
00:26:30,686 --> 00:26:33,211
He was there, Kojak.

348
00:26:37,393 --> 00:26:41,489
Okay, if he can cop
to the counterfeit rap...

00:26:41,564 --> 00:26:44,795
and take immunity on the homicide,

350
00:26:44,867 --> 00:26:47,165
he'll finger the iceman.

351
00:26:47,236 --> 00:26:51,070
But he wants the guarantee delivered
personal by an assistant D.A.
