<i>[Children Chattering]</i>

2
00:01:59,699 --> 00:02:01,690
<i>[Man]
You go in for those?</i>

3
00:02:03,003 --> 00:02:07,030
No, but my kid does,
so I pretend to.

4
00:02:07,107 --> 00:02:11,134
And you're Mr. Gallant?
Yes.

5
00:02:11,211 --> 00:02:13,839
Um, signed.
Uh...

6
00:02:13,914 --> 00:02:16,007
Let's, uh, find some shade.

7
00:02:16,082 --> 00:02:19,245
I feel a little bit too visible
out here.

8
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,913
Who signed it?
Not just some flunky?

9
00:02:21,988 --> 00:02:25,219
Nope. Somebody high up
in the D.A.'s office.
Mm.

10
00:02:25,292 --> 00:02:28,125
And it's everything
Arnold March asked for.

11
00:02:28,195 --> 00:02:31,756
Your client gets total assurance
he won't be prosecuted,

12
00:02:31,832 --> 00:02:34,494
assistance in relocating
under a new name.

13
00:02:34,568 --> 00:02:37,969
Plus he ends 10 years as a fugitive,
and he stays out of jail.

14
00:02:38,038 --> 00:02:40,404
Well, there are worse hazards
than jail.

15
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:46,846
Well, he's getting out of
a $25-million embezzlement rap...

16
00:02:46,913 --> 00:02:51,350
in exchange for a handful of documents
and a few depositions against the others.

17
00:02:51,418 --> 00:02:53,511
Where's the hazard?
The "others."

18
00:02:53,587 --> 00:02:57,683
He's pulling the rug out of
a fairly large crowd of old friends.

19
00:02:57,757 --> 00:03:00,248
Frankly, I counseled Arnold
to stay in Brazil.

20
00:03:00,327 --> 00:03:02,352
At least, if he died there,
it would be, uh,

21
00:03:02,429 --> 00:03:04,727
in style
and of natural causes.

22
00:03:04,798 --> 00:03:08,996
Do you think these old friends
might go to extremes?

23
00:03:09,069 --> 00:03:11,731
<i>Well, if they do or they don't,
it's not your problem, Mr. Hecht.</i>

24
00:03:11,805 --> 00:03:14,365
I pick up March at the airport,
bring him to the meeting place...

25
00:03:14,441 --> 00:03:16,466
so he can go over the D.A.'s letter
with you.

26
00:03:16,543 --> 00:03:18,477
And three minutes later,
you're in the police station with him.

27
00:03:18,545 --> 00:03:22,914
<i>Nobody will have a beef against you
for being the go-between,
and you're $20,000 richer.</i>

28
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:26,812
<i>Meanwhile, there are only
three people in the D.A. 's office
who know about this,</i>

29
00:03:26,887 --> 00:03:28,821
so I'm not worried about a leak.

30
00:03:28,889 --> 00:03:32,450
Nice job.
Well, thank you.
Let me ask you a question.

31
00:03:32,526 --> 00:03:34,892
I don't want to sound ungrateful.
I can use the money.

32
00:03:34,961 --> 00:03:39,091
But this wasn't a very complicated matter.
Why didn't you handle it yourself?

33
00:03:39,165 --> 00:03:41,190
Ah.

34
00:03:41,268 --> 00:03:45,728
Because some of those old friends
are my clients.

35
00:03:45,805 --> 00:03:47,898
I can't appear to be a part of this.

36
00:03:47,974 --> 00:03:51,705
I have a certain loyalty to Arnold,
but it does not extend as far as my life.

37
00:03:51,778 --> 00:03:55,270
<i>Clear?
Got it?
Anyway, it is an honor.</i>

38
00:03:55,348 --> 00:04:00,115
- Well, maybe we can do it again
in a slightly more pleasant atmosphere.
- I look forward to it.

39
00:04:00,186 --> 00:04:04,179
When my messenger comes
with the cash this afternoon,
you come with him.

40
00:04:04,257 --> 00:04:06,521
Oh, and, Simon, I beg you.

41
00:04:06,593 --> 00:04:09,790
- Nobody must know I'm involved.
- Nobody will.

42
00:04:17,971 --> 00:04:21,168
Sixteen, 17, 18, 19,

44
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:48,831
<i>So, it's after 5.00, Mr. Hecht.</i>

45
00:04:48,902 --> 00:04:53,032
Now, Gallant will call me
as soon as March
goes through Customs.

46
00:04:53,106 --> 00:04:55,165
<i>You about ready?
Just one minute.</i>

47
00:04:56,810 --> 00:04:59,802
I'm calling my son, Benson.
Take it easy.

Listen, I have to meet
some men this evening... clients...

54
00:05:21,835 --> 00:05:23,769
and it looks like
I'll be late for dinner.

55
00:05:23,837 --> 00:05:25,828
How late?
Uh, could be pretty late.

56
00:05:25,905 --> 00:05:27,839
Tell Melinda to fix dinner
at the regular time.

57
00:05:27,907 --> 00:05:29,841
I'll get something to eat
on the way home. Okay?

58
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:32,309
Can you handle that?
Sure, I can handle it.

59
00:05:32,379 --> 00:05:35,815
- When'll you be home?
- Mm, 8:00 maybe. 8:00, 8:30.

60
00:05:35,882 --> 00:05:38,612
Oh, well, can I wait up?
You can wait up.

Okay. Thanks, Dad.

Oh, no.

And when'd you find that out?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- How many people are in on this?
- Just enough to make sure
nothin' happens to Mr. March.

75
00:06:53,426 --> 00:06:56,054
Shouldn't we be on our way
to the meeting place?

00:06:56,129 --> 00:07:01,192
<i>Oh, uh, Gallantjust was on the phone.
March didn't make his plane.</i>

77

<i>Gallant's on the line to Rio

I'll give you my home number.
You can call me.

Mr. Hecht.

81
00:07:12,278 --> 00:07:15,042
Gallant prefers that you stay here
just in case something goes wrong.

82
00:07:15,115 --> 00:07:17,777
That's ridiculous.
Hang around here all night?

83

<i>Please, take that.
Give me a call.
Mr. Hecht.</i>

Mr. Gallant doesn't
want you to go.

00:07:23,556 --> 00:07:28,584
Now, we've got a bedroom in here.
You can make yourself comfortable.

<i>Get a little hungry, we'll send out
for something to eat.</i>

87

Mm-mmm.

Good night, Mr. Hecht.

<i>My name is David B. Hecht,
and I want to report a missing person.</i>

93
00:08:31,124 --> 00:08:34,525
Look, David, I've heard that six times
in the last five minutes.

94
00:08:42,702 --> 00:08:45,193
Just because someone
doesn't show up for one night...
It isn't someone.

95
00:08:45,271 --> 00:08:47,933
It's my father,
and he said he'd be home.

96
00:08:55,114 --> 00:08:58,140
Hey, David, it's 9:30.
Your dad's probably home by now.

97
00:08:58,218 --> 00:09:00,379
You don't look like
you could help me anyway.

98
00:09:02,088 --> 00:09:04,613
Where's the commissioner's office?

99
00:09:04,691 --> 00:09:07,091
Whoa.
Sorry. Are you a detective?

100
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,151
Do I look...
I'm the commissioner.

101
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:13,064
What's goin' on here?

102
00:09:13,132 --> 00:09:17,193
Lieutenant, the kid's worried.
His dad stayed out all night,
and he thinks he's missin'.

103
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:19,795
David, maybe your mom and dad
had a fight last night.

104
00:09:19,873 --> 00:09:23,172
Those things happen,
you know?
I haven't got a mom.

105
00:09:23,243 --> 00:09:25,177
She's dead.

106
00:09:25,245 --> 00:09:28,612
- Who do you live with?
- My father and the maid, Melissa.

107
00:09:28,681 --> 00:09:32,173
She doesn't speak much English.
All she's been doing is praying...
or something like that.

108
00:09:32,252 --> 00:09:36,245
- It's in Greek.
- In Greek, huh?
That can't be all bad.

00:09:36,322 --> 00:09:38,256
<i>When'd you speak
to your dad last?</i>

110
00:09:38,324 --> 00:09:40,792
Yesterday around 5:00.
He called from his office.

111
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:43,727
- What office?
- Hecht and Halliday,
Attorneys-at-Law.

112
00:09:43,796 --> 00:09:48,096
<i>- What'd he say when he called?
- He said that he had to meet some men
and that they were clients.</i>

113
00:09:48,167 --> 00:09:51,830
He'd be late for dinner. Have Melissa
fix the dinner at the regular time,

114
00:09:51,905 --> 00:09:53,964
<i>and he'd get something
on the way home.</i>

115
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,133
See that?
That's the way to give evidence.

116
00:09:56,209 --> 00:09:58,803
- You can tell that he's a lawyer's son.
- Sure.

117
00:09:58,878 --> 00:10:02,609
- When did your dad tell you
he was comin' home?
- Oh, 8:00, 8:30.

118
00:10:02,682 --> 00:10:05,583
Uh-huh. Do me a favor.

119
00:10:05,652 --> 00:10:07,643
Go inside to the commissioner's office
right there.

120
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,211
Get my hat and coat
and sit down on the bench.
I'll be right with you.

121
00:10:11,557 --> 00:10:14,720

for one night?

123
00:10:16,796 --> 00:10:19,765
The kid's worried, right?
He wouldn't be here
if this happened all the time.

124
00:10:19,832 --> 00:10:23,700
Check with the Information Unit,
the Central Complaints Desk,
hospitals, arrests.

125
00:10:25,171 --> 00:10:27,162
Check with the morgue.

126
00:10:28,207 --> 00:10:31,142
But wait till we leave.
Right now, check his office.

127
00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:33,144

- Come on. I'll drop you off at school.
- On Saturday?

131
00:10:45,525 --> 00:10:49,427
You got me. All right,
I'll take you home, okay?
Where do you live?

- No. My name's Kojak.
Lieutenant Kojak.

134
00:10:56,102 --> 00:10:58,866
I lied to you.
I'm not the commissioner,
but don't call me "sir," okay?

135
00:10:58,938 --> 00:11:00,872
Come on, huh?

136
00:11:00,940 --> 00:11:03,738

She any kind of a cook?
Yes, sir.

137
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:06,836
Ah, but can she make a moussaka?
And don't call me "sir."

00:11:06,913 --> 00:11:09,143

No. I'm goin' over to the house,

00:12:34,734 --> 00:12:38,067
March will get out of his car
and walk in.

160
00:12:38,137 --> 00:12:40,071
We let him see Hecht.

161
00:12:40,139 --> 00:12:42,164
<i>There'll be a bodyguard.</i>

162
00:12:42,241 --> 00:12:46,644
<i>Then March goes over to Hecht
and reads the D.A. 's letter.</i>

163
00:12:46,712 --> 00:12:50,079
Then you give us all a beat
to clear out,

164
00:12:50,149 --> 00:12:52,879
and then you, baby doll,
kill all three of them.

any simpler?</i>

Hecht?
I thought you were asleep.

169
00:13:21,948 --> 00:13:24,007
Did you?
You've been here all night?

170
00:13:24,083 --> 00:13:26,574
Those weren't
your instructions, were they?
They were not.

171
00:13:26,652 --> 00:13:30,816
- What's the idea?
- Well, it seemed kinda dumb
to have him running around town.

172
00:13:30,890 --> 00:13:33,415
Somebody could put a tail on him.
So when he came back...

173
00:13:33,493 --> 00:13:36,087
You were hired to take care
of an emergency in case it arose,

174
00:13:36,162 --> 00:13:38,960
not to create one
to give yourself something to do.

175
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,127
- I'm sorry about this. Really.
- Then I can go home now?

176
00:13:44,203 --> 00:13:47,468
[Sighs]
Well, l...

177
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:51,374
I know it's a terrible inconvenience
to you, but, having been here this long,

178
00:13:51,444 --> 00:13:54,004
maybe it would be wise if you stayed
until March did show up.

179
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,605
As I said, there may well be people
out there right now...

180
00:13:56,682 --> 00:13:59,810
who are trying to figure out
how to get to him.

181
00:13:59,886 --> 00:14:03,617
I did get through, by the way.
He's taking a flight that's due in
at 9:52 tonight.

182
00:14:03,689 --> 00:14:07,750
- Could we step outside?
- No.

183
00:14:07,827 --> 00:14:10,557
Be a lot better
if he stayed here.

184
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:13,690
Oakes knows his business, Simon.

185
00:14:13,766 --> 00:14:16,462
Then can you get word to my son?
I don't wanna worry him.

186
00:14:16,536 --> 00:14:21,496
- Well, of course.
- Okay. I'll write a note to him,
if that's all right, and you can deliver it.

187
00:14:21,574 --> 00:14:24,236
- Do you have a pen?
- Certainly.

188
00:14:42,929 --> 00:14:44,988

I'll take it to him.

190
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:51,166
Uh, if you're hungry,
there's food in the kitchen.

191
00:14:51,237 --> 00:14:53,330
Thank you.
I'll get myself something.

192
00:14:53,406 --> 00:14:57,035
- No, I'll get it for you.
- That won't be necessary.
I'll fix it myself.

193
00:14:59,745 --> 00:15:02,873
Look.

194
00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:06,715
I come all the way over here
just to keep him from blowing his stack,
and somehow he knows everything.

195
00:15:06,786 --> 00:15:09,346
- Now, how is that possible?
- I swear I don't know.

196
00:15:09,422 --> 00:15:11,890
Well, you just keep him calm, Benson.

197
00:15:13,292 --> 00:15:16,261
I'll call you when March arrives.

Forgive the image.

263
00:20:08,554 --> 00:20:13,048
I mean, can you conceive of him
spending the night with somebody
without calling home?

264
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:17,789
Since his wife died,
I don't think Mr. Hecht
has spent a night away from home.

00:20:17,863 --> 00:20:21,321
Except for the two-week vacation
in Florida.
Two-week vacation?

266
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,167

but he cut it short and came back
in one week instead.

267
00:20:26,238 --> 00:20:29,730

No.

did he get any phone calls,
things important like that?

275

who said they had to speak to him.

00:23:37,863 --> 00:23:39,888
I want all the names
with initials "A.M."

318
00:23:39,965 --> 00:23:43,731
Match them up with the telephone log
and check the Gulf Plaza Hotel in Miami.

319
00:23:43,802 --> 00:23:48,239
See who he called long-distance.
I want to know who registered
with Simon Hecht on that date.

320
00:23:48,307 --> 00:23:50,241
Got it?
Got it. Got it.

321
00:23:50,309 --> 00:23:53,278
Theo, do you think we ought
to handle this ourselves?

322
00:23:53,345 --> 00:23:56,746
I mean, would you mind telling me
just what the hell you're working on?

323
00:23:56,815 --> 00:24:00,444
I told you.
The kid's pop is a missing person.

324
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:02,885
Well, who's the kid's father,
and how long has he been missing?

325
00:24:02,955 --> 00:24:05,253
His name is Simon Hecht,
he's a lawyer,

326
00:24:05,324 --> 00:24:08,122
and he's been gone now, uh, all night.

327
00:24:08,193 --> 00:24:10,252
All night?

328
00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:13,264
You gotta be kidding.
What's the big deal?

329
00:24:13,332 --> 00:24:15,266
Oh, this is the big deal.

330
00:24:15,334 --> 00:24:18,735
Twenty grand in an envelope
that I left in a safe in his office.

331
00:24:18,804 --> 00:24:21,864
Hecht and Halliday, Attorneys-at-Law...
50 bucks a chargeable hour.

332
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:23,874
Come on, Frank.
You know that operation.

333
00:24:23,942 --> 00:24:26,809
If Simon Hecht grosses 40,000 a year,
that's a big deal.

334
00:24:26,879 --> 00:24:29,279
And all of a sudden, we got 20 grand
in an envelope in his safe.

335
00:24:29,348 --> 00:24:33,512
Are you suggesting he's not
a missing person on choice?

336
00:24:33,585 --> 00:24:36,713
I'm suggesting
that he didn't come home...

337
00:24:36,789 --> 00:24:40,156
because Hecht and Halliday
got into something so deep
that they couldn't handle it.

338
00:24:40,225 --> 00:24:44,355
Now, whether it was on purpose
or by mistake... either way.

339
00:24:44,429 --> 00:24:48,923
Lieutenant, those three calls
are pegged "Referred to Miami."
You wanted to check the names.

340
00:24:50,669 --> 00:24:54,298
<i>- You want a thank you?
- Sheesh.</i>

341
00:24:54,373 --> 00:24:58,867
"Harriet Buchman, R.V. Heller,
Mark..." Mark Gallant?

342
00:24:58,944 --> 00:25:01,276
I'm gettin' a buzz. Mark Gallant.
That's a name, isn't it, Frank?

343
00:25:01,346 --> 00:25:03,610
Gallant.

344
00:25:03,682 --> 00:25:08,483
Gallant is Fennimore, Frank,
Goodrich, Gallant and Peabody.

345
00:25:08,554 --> 00:25:10,681
It's a big law firm,
one of the biggest in town.

346
00:25:10,756 --> 00:25:15,989
They're everything you just said Hecht wasn't.
So, why does a million-dollar dude
call Hecht, huh?

347
00:25:16,061 --> 00:25:18,859
How come that name
makes noises in my head?
Mark Gallant.

348
00:25:20,199 --> 00:25:24,295
He was Arnold March's lawyer.
It was about 12 years ago.
Arnold March.

349
00:25:24,369 --> 00:25:27,532
He absconded with 25 million...
Mid-Atlantic Mutual Funds.

350
00:25:27,606 --> 00:25:30,598
Did the big number. Oh, yeah.
And Gallant was his lawyer.

351
00:25:30,676 --> 00:25:33,975
Sure. A. M... Arnold March.

352
00:25:34,046 --> 00:25:37,743
You know, 20,000 fits into 25 million
pretty good, don't you think?
Mm-hmm.

353
00:25:37,816 --> 00:25:40,046
All right, where is he now?
Who knows?

354
00:25:40,118 --> 00:25:43,212
Brazil, I hear.
He's living like an emperor.

355
00:25:43,288 --> 00:25:45,483
Why don't you ask Gallant?
Oh.

356
00:25:47,092 --> 00:25:49,117
Mm-hmm, I think I will.

357
00:26:30,469 --> 00:26:34,235
Help! Somebody out there!
Help me!

358
00:26:34,306 --> 00:26:37,639
[Groans]
What are you doin', jerk?

359
00:26:37,709 --> 00:26:40,769
Get smart. You're in this too deep now
to back out.

360
00:26:40,846 --> 00:26:43,747
<i>If you cooperate, maybe Gallant
will decide to give you a break.</i>

361
00:26:43,815 --> 00:26:46,750
All right, so Gallant
is a part of this.

362
00:26:48,153 --> 00:26:50,451
But somebody out there
will be looking for me.

363
00:26:51,556 --> 00:26:55,253
They looked for Hitler
for years too, Mr. Hecht.

364
00:26:55,327 --> 00:26:57,261
They gonna find you
any faster?

365
00:27:24,056 --> 00:27:27,048
The flight left Rio on time?

366
00:27:27,125 --> 00:27:29,389
Well, that's a novelty.

367
00:27:29,461 --> 00:27:31,395
All right, thank you.

368
00:27:32,397 --> 00:27:34,957
<i>[Door Opens]</i>

369
00:27:35,033 --> 00:27:37,024
Uh, the offices are closed today.

370
00:27:37,102 --> 00:27:39,502
I'm Lieutenant Kojak,
Manhattan South.

371
00:27:41,139 --> 00:27:43,801
I'm looking for a little guidance.

372
00:27:43,875 --> 00:27:45,866
Oh, well, of course.

373
00:27:47,446 --> 00:27:50,574
What can I do for you?
I'm lookin' for a nice little law firm,
not too expensive.

374
00:27:50,649 --> 00:27:52,947
I'm lookin' to draw up my will.

375
00:27:53,018 --> 00:27:54,952
Would you like some coffee?
Love it.

376
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:57,887
Black, no sugar.
In a paper cup, if possible.

377
00:28:00,192 --> 00:28:03,252
Well, uh, what brings you
to us, Lieutenant?

378
00:28:03,328 --> 00:28:05,592
We're good, but we're not little.

379
00:28:05,664 --> 00:28:08,861
<i>My captain mentioned your name.
He said you were expensive,</i>

380
00:28:08,934 --> 00:28:11,459
but I figured at least you could
steer me in the right direction.

381
00:28:11,536 --> 00:28:14,903
Uh, for instance,
Halliday and Hecht.
Are they pretty decent?

382
00:28:14,973 --> 00:28:17,305
Hecht and Halliday.

383
00:28:17,376 --> 00:28:20,641
Yes, I think they'd probably
fit into your budget, Lieutenant.

384
00:28:20,712 --> 00:28:23,180
They're one of numerous firms
that could do the work.

385
00:28:23,248 --> 00:28:26,149
Do you know either one of them
personally?

386
00:28:26,218 --> 00:28:29,312
Oh, I recall meeting Hecht
10 years ago.

387
00:28:29,388 --> 00:28:32,255
But not on a professional basis?

388
00:28:32,324 --> 00:28:36,351
As a matter of fact, I had an occasion
to call his office recently
in a similar situation.

389
00:28:36,428 --> 00:28:39,795
Alan Schreiber asked me
to recommend a lawyer to him
who wouldn't cost too much.

390
00:28:39,865 --> 00:28:44,928
- Alan Schreiber. Who is he?
- He's someone I know slightly
at the Century Club.

391
00:28:45,003 --> 00:28:50,339
Lieutenant, one of the greatest sources
of free legal advice is a club
that admits lawyers.

392
00:28:50,409 --> 00:28:54,539
[Chuckles]
Um, did you call Hecht first...

393
00:28:54,613 --> 00:28:56,604
to see if he was interested?

394
00:28:56,681 --> 00:28:59,445
Yes, and I found out
that he was leaving on vacation.
My friend went elsewhere.

395
00:28:59,518 --> 00:29:04,182
- Oh, but he's back from vacation now?
- I haven't the foggiest notion.

396
00:29:04,256 --> 00:29:07,191
Oh. This Alan Schreiber,
where can I get in touch with him?

397
00:29:07,259 --> 00:29:09,193
<i>Saturday afternoon?</i>

398
00:29:09,261 --> 00:29:13,891
- If he isn't in the Century Club bar,
he died during the morning.
- [Laughing]

399
00:29:13,965 --> 00:29:17,833
Now, at the risk of being rude...

400
00:29:17,903 --> 00:29:22,135
[Snaps Fingers]
Now. I know where
I remember your name.

401
00:29:23,575 --> 00:29:26,135
Arnold March.
You defended him, right?

402
00:29:26,211 --> 00:29:28,145
Is he, uh...
Is he still a client?

403
00:29:28,213 --> 00:29:30,477
I'm afraid we're getting into the area
of privileged information.

404
00:29:30,549 --> 00:29:33,985
I hope you understand.
Of course.
So do I.

405
00:29:34,052 --> 00:29:36,782
[Slurping]

406
00:29:36,855 --> 00:29:39,585
It's kind of scary drinking coffee
out of a cup like that.

407
00:29:39,658 --> 00:29:41,888
Thank you, counselor.
Good-bye.

408
00:29:45,630 --> 00:29:48,121
<i>[Door Closes]</i>

409
00:29:56,942 --> 00:29:59,502
Mr. Schreiber, please.
Try the bar first.

410
00:29:59,578 --> 00:30:02,012
So Schreiber backs him up?
Of course he backs him up.

411
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,310
They both belong
to the Century Club.

412
00:30:04,382 --> 00:30:07,317
A.M. In small letters.
[Ice Rattling]

413
00:30:07,385 --> 00:30:10,582
Maybe it's not Arnold March.
He's too big for small letters.

414
00:30:10,655 --> 00:30:12,919
He's too big for Simon Hecht, too,
for sure.

415
00:30:14,059 --> 00:30:16,755
Bobby? Long-distance call
for you from Miami.

416
00:30:16,828 --> 00:30:19,126
Line three.
Thank you.

417
00:30:19,197 --> 00:30:21,927
Hello. This is Detective Crocker.

418
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,991
What? Wait. Let me get that,
huh?

419
00:30:26,037 --> 00:30:30,997
Go ahead. And the calls?
All right, thank you very much.

420
00:30:32,110 --> 00:30:34,635
They registered at the hotel
as Mr. And Mrs. Simon Hecht.

421
00:30:34,713 --> 00:30:37,841
What about the phone calls?
He didn't make one long-distance
call from the hotel.

422
00:30:37,916 --> 00:30:41,010
<i>But anybody could've called him,
and there's no way of checking that.</i>

423
00:30:41,086 --> 00:30:44,249
He tells the kid he's goin' to Florida
on business so he won't hang him up...

424
00:30:44,322 --> 00:30:47,723
you know, takin' a vacation without him,
with somebody that's not his mother.

425
00:30:52,998 --> 00:30:57,401
Where you goin'?
I'm gonna go find out why he
cut his vacation short by one week.

426
00:31:14,619 --> 00:31:16,610
Hey, what are you buildin'?

427
00:31:16,688 --> 00:31:18,849
<i>Oh. The U.S. S. Constitution.</i>

428
00:31:18,924 --> 00:31:21,484
But I'm really just looking at it.

429
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,927
My dad always helps me with the rigging.
The rigging's real hard.

430
00:31:24,996 --> 00:31:27,430
You have to be able
to tie these knots just right,

431
00:31:27,499 --> 00:31:29,933
and, well, I'm not very good at it.

432
00:31:30,001 --> 00:31:32,561
Look, David, I gotta ask you
some more questions.

433
00:31:33,572 --> 00:31:38,236
Uh, when you said that your pop went
to Florida on a business trip, did he?

434
00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:41,541
- Did he what?
- Did he, uh...
Did he go on a business trip?

435
00:31:41,613 --> 00:31:45,071
<i>L... He said it was on business.
Oh. What do you think?</i>

436
00:31:46,218 --> 00:31:49,517
- He said it was on business.
- Does your father have any friends?

437
00:31:49,588 --> 00:31:53,786
- Well, of course.
- Come on. You know what I mean.
Girlfriends.

438
00:31:53,858 --> 00:31:56,520
[Stammering]
L-I guess so.

439
00:31:56,595 --> 00:31:59,428
- Bring any of them to see you?
- Yeah.

440
00:31:59,497 --> 00:32:02,728
Did he bring any one in particular?
I mean, you know, more than just once.

441
00:32:04,703 --> 00:32:07,399
<i>David. It's important.</i>

442
00:32:07,472 --> 00:32:11,533
- I don't see why it's important.
What does this have to do with...
- See the way you are?

443
00:32:11,610 --> 00:32:14,135
You came to us for help, right?

444
00:32:14,212 --> 00:32:16,146
And I wanna help you, don't I?

445
00:32:16,214 --> 00:32:19,081
Sometimes in this job I got,
which is kinda tough,

446
00:32:19,150 --> 00:32:22,813
you know, I gotta make people
talk about things they don't
wanna talk about.

447
00:32:22,887 --> 00:32:27,381
<i>We gotta know why your papa
came home from Florida
a week early.</i>

448
00:32:27,459 --> 00:32:30,394
<i>Huh?
[Sighs] He took Paula to Florida.</i>

449
00:32:38,103 --> 00:32:40,663
Go on, David.

450
00:32:40,739 --> 00:32:44,539
Paula. He said it was business,
but I knew it wasn't.

451
00:32:44,609 --> 00:32:46,804
I heard him talking the night before
on the phone to her,

452
00:32:46,878 --> 00:32:50,279
telling her when to meet him at the airport
and all the arrangements.

453
00:32:50,348 --> 00:32:52,680
- I knew it wasn't business.
- Paula who?

454
00:32:54,419 --> 00:32:58,150
- He took some pictures
out of the bedroom.
- You mean the pictures of mama?

455
00:32:58,223 --> 00:33:01,590
- He did it right after he met Paula.
- Paula who?

456
00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:06,927
L-I know she's dead, but... Well, it didn't
hurt to leave the pictures there.

457
00:33:06,998 --> 00:33:08,932
She made him do it.
I know she did.

458
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,700
David. You know,
maybe this Paula... this chick here...
maybe she's hurtin' your father.

459
00:33:14,773 --> 00:33:17,241
Did you ever realize that?
Maybe I gotta go out and pinch her.

460
00:33:17,309 --> 00:33:20,870
You know, not pinch her. Arrest her.
But I gotta have her last name.

461
00:33:24,149 --> 00:33:27,983
- McKay. Paula McKay.
- Beautiful.

462
00:33:47,238 --> 00:33:50,503
<i>Tell me, Paula, how much you get
for one of these, uh, one of these things?</i>

463
00:33:52,210 --> 00:33:54,405
Oh.

464
00:33:54,479 --> 00:33:57,642
500 if it's good.
750 if it's bad.

465
00:33:57,716 --> 00:34:00,879
[Chuckling]
Yeah, I better stick to my own business.

466
00:34:00,952 --> 00:34:02,886
Tell me, why'd you cut short
your vacation?

467
00:34:02,954 --> 00:34:05,388
How did you know about that trip?

468
00:34:05,457 --> 00:34:08,119
Oh, out of the mouths of babes.

469
00:34:08,193 --> 00:34:12,755
- In this particular case, the babe is 12,
and he's not too thrilled with you.
- David?

470
00:34:12,831 --> 00:34:15,994
David. What happened in Miami Beach?
You were supposed to stay there
for two weeks.

471
00:34:16,067 --> 00:34:20,800
He got a phone call...
something important, I guess.

472
00:34:20,872 --> 00:34:22,863
<i>Any idea who called?</i>

473
00:34:23,975 --> 00:34:26,705
Yes, I do.

474
00:34:26,778 --> 00:34:29,542
Somebody with a name out of
an old '30s serial.

475
00:34:29,614 --> 00:34:31,548
I was cursing him all the way home.

476
00:34:31,616 --> 00:34:35,677
<i>- Mark Gallant of the Marine Raiders.
- Mark Gallant, huh?</i>

477
00:34:35,754 --> 00:34:38,587
I wondered what a grown man
with a name like that might look like.

478
00:34:38,656 --> 00:34:42,251
<i>Do you know him?
Oh, yeah. Very rich.</i>

479
00:34:42,327 --> 00:34:45,922
I mean, he's everything
you might dream about.

480
00:34:45,997 --> 00:34:48,022
<i>With one exception.
What's that?</i>

481
00:34:48,099 --> 00:34:51,296
- He lies, baby.
- Oh, don't they all?

482
00:34:51,369 --> 00:34:53,837
[Ringing]

483
00:34:56,307 --> 00:35:00,073
Eh! Mark Gallant's not at home.
He's not in his office.

484
00:35:00,145 --> 00:35:02,136
Also lied to me about
calling Miami Beach,

485
00:35:02,213 --> 00:35:04,909
and now he's just as missing
as Mr. Hecht.

486
00:35:04,983 --> 00:35:06,917
Me?
Yes, you.

487
00:35:08,453 --> 00:35:10,387
Miss Rosenberg.

488
00:35:14,426 --> 00:35:16,360
Now, let me lay it all
out for you, okay?

489
00:35:16,428 --> 00:35:18,692
Then you can tell us anything
you think might help. All right?

490
00:35:18,763 --> 00:35:23,564
Okay.
Now, Mr. Hecht got 20 grand
in an envelope, right?

491
00:35:23,635 --> 00:35:25,728
Okay, we know that.

492
00:35:25,804 --> 00:35:29,900
We also know that he got a phone call
from Mr. Mark Gallant in Miami Beach...

493
00:35:29,974 --> 00:35:32,966
made him cut short his vacation,
and he hurried home.

494
00:35:33,044 --> 00:35:34,978
Now, we don't know
who paid him the money,

495
00:35:35,046 --> 00:35:37,412
but we do know that there's
these initials... A.M.

496
00:35:37,482 --> 00:35:39,973
Remember? "In the mornin'."
A.M., yes.
Oh, morning.

497
00:35:40,051 --> 00:35:44,181
Now, A.M. We also know that
Mr. Mark Gallant's got a client...
Mr. Arnold March.

498
00:35:44,255 --> 00:35:48,783
Very big, big client.
Well, about 12 years ago...
The embezzler.

499
00:35:50,061 --> 00:35:52,359
His daughter is a client
of Mr. Hecht's.

500
00:35:53,898 --> 00:35:56,366
- What?
- Her married name is Cole.

501
00:35:56,434 --> 00:35:58,800
Miranda Cole.
She lives in California.

502
00:35:58,870 --> 00:36:01,703
Mr. Hecht manages
some New York properties for her.

503
00:36:01,773 --> 00:36:05,800
- When did he get the account?
- Right after that scandal about Mr. March.

504
00:36:11,015 --> 00:36:15,509
Then March bought some properties,
put 'em in his daughter's name.

505
00:36:16,821 --> 00:36:20,188
And then he got an outside lawyer
so it wouldn't be easy to trace, right?

506
00:36:20,258 --> 00:36:24,058
<i>Crocker. Call the D.A. 's office.
Somebody's gotta be there.</i>

507
00:36:24,128 --> 00:36:26,358
Tell 'em we need files
on Arnold March.

508
00:36:26,431 --> 00:36:28,399
<i>I wanna know where
they think he is right now,</i>

509
00:36:28,466 --> 00:36:31,526
who his contacts are in the States...
anything at all.

510
00:36:32,537 --> 00:36:34,505
Right.

511
00:36:36,274 --> 00:36:40,040
I, uh... I guess
you're through with me, huh?

512
00:36:40,111 --> 00:36:42,375
Hmm?

513
00:36:47,018 --> 00:36:50,647
Miss Rosenberg.

514
00:36:50,722 --> 00:36:52,986
Stick around.
[Chuckles]

515
00:36:53,057 --> 00:36:56,424
Oh. Okay.

516
00:37:16,581 --> 00:37:19,914
Maybe we'll do it again sometime.

517
00:37:21,786 --> 00:37:24,584
I can't believe it.
I told you.

518
00:37:24,656 --> 00:37:27,181
I tried to get March
to stay down there.

519
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:34,196
When he tells the D.A. The names
of the holding companies he's buried
that stolen 25 million in,

520
00:37:34,265 --> 00:37:36,199
they'll fold them up.

521
00:37:36,267 --> 00:37:39,259
I have to prevent that, Simon.

522
00:37:39,337 --> 00:37:43,865
It comes down to...
you or me.

523
00:37:45,376 --> 00:37:48,470
You paid me $20,000.
I'll say you're a client of mine.

524
00:37:48,546 --> 00:37:51,606
I can't testify against a client,
even if I want to.

525
00:37:51,683 --> 00:37:54,379
I have a son, Gallant.

526
00:37:54,452 --> 00:37:57,785
Please.
No.

527
00:37:57,855 --> 00:38:00,085
He won't get out of that car
unless you're there...

528
00:38:00,158 --> 00:38:03,321
and everything looks like it's going
exactly the way it's planned.

529
00:38:06,598 --> 00:38:10,432
It's almost 7:30.
I'll head for the airport.

530
00:38:10,501 --> 00:38:15,598
You might as well
get him out of here
and down to the meeting place.

531
00:38:21,713 --> 00:38:24,807
No!

532
00:38:24,882 --> 00:38:27,976
Gallant! Please.
I beg you.

533
00:38:28,052 --> 00:38:32,580
All appeals exhausted, Hecht.
I'm truly sorry.

Oh. Her name is Shirley?

540
00:39:05,123 --> 00:39:07,956
Mm-hmm.
Oh. Hello, Shirley.

541
00:39:08,026 --> 00:39:09,994
She likes to be talked to.
Oh, she does?

542
00:39:10,061 --> 00:39:12,529
Yeah.
Hello, Shirley.

543
00:39:12,597 --> 00:39:15,964
What's your name?
Miss Rosenberg.

544
00:39:16,034 --> 00:39:18,264
"Miss"? You're not married?

545
00:39:18,336 --> 00:39:20,896
No. Are you?

546
00:39:25,576 --> 00:39:27,544
Where's his office?
Right this way.

547
00:39:27,612 --> 00:39:29,546
Where's this way?
Right here.

548
00:39:29,614 --> 00:39:33,846
Ah, Lieutenant Kojak,
Mr. Santangelo,
Special Assistant D.A.

549
00:39:33,918 --> 00:39:35,852
You didn't bring
the March records?
No.

550
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,388
You don't seem to understand.
This is an urgent...
Now, Lieutenant,

551
00:39:38,456 --> 00:39:42,119
there's no way anybody's
gonna see those records,
not even you.

552
00:39:42,193 --> 00:39:44,889
Uh, you wanna, uh,
come inside here for a second.

553
00:39:50,101 --> 00:39:52,865
Say, what's your name again?

554
00:39:52,937 --> 00:39:54,928
Santangelo.
Oh, yeah. Mr. Santangelo.

555
00:39:55,006 --> 00:39:58,066
I thought that the cops and the D.A.
Were all on the same side.

556
00:39:58,142 --> 00:40:02,203
The only reason
I'm interested in Arnold March...
what his connection is with Simon Hecht.

557
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,111
<i>Simon Hecht?
Yeah.</i>

558
00:40:04,182 --> 00:40:07,117
- Do you know him?
He's missin'.
- Missing since when?

559
00:40:07,185 --> 00:40:10,586
Since last night.
And what's the connection
between March and him?

560
00:40:10,655 --> 00:40:13,215
Hecht came to see me.
March had gotten in touch with him.

561
00:40:13,291 --> 00:40:15,725
March wanted to come back
to this country.

562
00:40:15,793 --> 00:40:19,285
He was ready to testify
in front of a grand jury,
but he wanted to make a deal.

563
00:40:19,363 --> 00:40:21,490
<i>So Hecht was acting
as his attorney.</i>

564
00:40:21,566 --> 00:40:24,126
Oh, Mr. Santangelo,
how about Mark Gallant?

565
00:40:24,202 --> 00:40:27,171
He's his regular attorney.
Why didn't you do business with him?

566
00:40:27,238 --> 00:40:29,468
<i>Yeah, well, we have, indirectly.</i>

567
00:40:29,540 --> 00:40:32,566
Gallant suggested to March that
he use Hecht as a go-between with us.

568
00:40:32,643 --> 00:40:35,510
<i>Gallant's got his own reasons
for staying in the background...
business reasons.</i>

569
00:40:35,580 --> 00:40:38,413
So we, uh... We agreed
to keep his name out of it.

570
00:40:38,483 --> 00:40:40,451
Now wait a minute, Mr. Santangelo.

571
00:40:40,518 --> 00:40:44,079
- You know about a connection
between Gallant and Hecht?
- Sure.

572
00:40:46,124 --> 00:40:48,592
So if Gallant lied to me
about not talking to Hecht in Miami,

573
00:40:48,659 --> 00:40:51,492
<i>you understand that?
I would, uh, expect that.</i>

574
00:40:53,397 --> 00:40:57,231
Your jaw just dropped, Theo.
Maybe Hecht's not in trouble, right?

575
00:40:57,301 --> 00:41:01,829
- Maybe he's just being very cautious
because of all these arrangements.
- What are these arrangements?

576
00:41:01,906 --> 00:41:06,900
March is supposed to come here from Rio,
go to an undisclosed spot.
Then he's gonna meet Hecht.

577
00:41:06,978 --> 00:41:09,503
- The two of them are coming in together
to surrender March to the authorities.
- Where?

578
00:41:10,982 --> 00:41:12,916
- I'm not at liberty to tell you that.
- All right. Then when?

579
00:41:12,984 --> 00:41:16,476
- Could be this weekend.
- Crocker!

580
00:41:16,554 --> 00:41:18,647
What is this?

581
00:41:20,091 --> 00:41:22,559
<i>Call the Immigration authorities
at Kennedy Airport.</i>

00:41:22,627 --> 00:41:24,822
I want every plane covered
coming in from Rio.

<i>Give a description of Arnold March.
And if they spot him, hold him for us.</i>

Hey, listen, wild man, l...
Do it, Crocker!

Theo, you better talk pretty fast
before I countermand that order.

587
00:41:39,410 --> 00:41:42,379
What do you think this secrecy
is all about, Frank?
Do you wanna know?

588
00:41:42,446 --> 00:41:44,311
Arnold March is gonna get killed
if this gets out, right?

589
00:41:44,382 --> 00:41:46,873

all this month.

No. Why?

In the meantime, you keep working

I think he's being held against his will.

608
00:42:45,610 --> 00:42:48,408
I think that your plan... down the toilet.

609
00:42:48,479 --> 00:42:50,413
I believe that there's an ambush.

together pretty well.

615
00:43:10,501 --> 00:43:13,561

a W.B. Arnold cleared Customs

619
00:43:48,739 --> 00:43:50,900
and they feel pretty sure
that it was March.

All right. Lieutenant,
your ball game.

He turns himself in
at the 37 th Precinct.

623
00:44:01,352 --> 00:44:04,947
First he meets with Hecht
for a couple of minutes to go over
some papers to be signed.

624
00:44:05,022 --> 00:44:07,252
All right, yo-yo,
who picked that meeting place?

I think that Hecht did.

I swear I don't know where it is.

627
00:44:12,763 --> 00:44:14,697
All I can tell you is that,
according to Hecht,

628
00:44:14,765 --> 00:44:17,427
the rendezvous is supposed to be
within three minutes
of the station house.

How could he count on that?

632
00:44:26,277 --> 00:44:29,178
How long does it take to get
from Kennedy to the 3-7?

633
00:44:29,246 --> 00:44:31,840
Because that's about all the time
we got left.

634
00:44:31,916 --> 00:44:34,350
This time, traffic's light...
about a half an hour.

635
00:44:34,418 --> 00:44:38,149
Hecht. Why, of all people,
is he in this?

636
00:44:38,222 --> 00:44:41,680
Hmm? Because he handled
March's property for his daughter.

637
00:44:44,962 --> 00:44:48,125
Uh, Miss Rosenberg.

638
00:44:50,368 --> 00:44:52,302
Me?

639
00:45:20,598 --> 00:45:24,591
<i>I don't know that I can remember
all of Mr. March's properties,
Lieutenant.</i>

640
00:45:24,668 --> 00:45:27,762
Maybe you should write
Mr. March's daughter
in California.

641
00:45:27,838 --> 00:45:31,239
Do your best, Miss Rosenberg,
but, please, just do it fast, okay?

642
00:45:33,677 --> 00:45:35,611
West 91 st.
Yeah?

643
00:45:44,855 --> 00:45:47,847
Uh, Union Square West.
Fourteen, I think.
Yeah?

644
00:45:48,859 --> 00:45:50,793

Keep on.

Downtown, Miss Rosenberg.
Near 23rd Street?

646
00:46:09,914 --> 00:46:12,781
Twenty-sixth Street.
Maybe. East Side? West Side?

647
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:15,683
West 26th Street.
900-something, I think.

648
00:46:15,753 --> 00:46:19,450
Hold it again.
The 900s on West 26th.

649
00:46:20,724 --> 00:46:23,784
That's right... 925.
I'm pretty sure.

650
00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:30,132
That's it.
Six blocks from the station house.

651
00:46:30,201 --> 00:46:32,135
All right.
Go get my hat and coat, eh?

652
00:46:32,203 --> 00:46:34,137
It's our best shot.
Come on.

Out of the car!
Come on. Let's go.

Come on.
Come on.
Do you want me to turn around?

00:48:58,015 --> 00:49:00,643
No. I'd like you to lay across
