Mr. Shaw?

Mr. Shaw?

Everyone was quite surprised. She was never any problem.

Just a few minutes. She's lost a lot of blood.

Karen?

Karen?

I heard you were in here. I really got scared.

You'll lose your job if you come up during the week.

Why did you do it?

I didn't.

I'm still alive.

Maybe if they get a couple of linebackers.

Maybe if they get a hot running back.

So what do you think?

If they get a good kicker.

And maybe if they traded helmets with Pittsburgh.

It's a deal.

Lieutenant Kojak, anything special?

There are nothing for page one.

Yeah?

We got aced again.

What does that mean? All we wanted was a stay.

We didn't get the stay. We didn't get the eight hours you asked for.

Not eight minutes, nothing. Burton off his Donovan, a deal, and he bought it.

Burton, what's going on?

You gave us enough to make our case and we made it.

Enough? What is enough?

I mean, we have some new leads and all I need is time to check it out.

Time that might have proved Donovan innocent.

Kojak, we got a guilty plea.

We didn't have a complete case against Shirley Harmon, but she pleaded guilty too.

And how about those kids in the village?

Threaten to throw the book at them and they sign.

Now what the hell kind of justice is that?

Lieutenant, team effort. Secret words.

That's what it's all about. You did your job, I just did mine.

Hey, Burton, I'm not on your team. Do you understand?

And when I bring you evidence, I'm not a waiter at a party.

I don't slay a cell door on anybody unless I'm sure they're guilty.

And I'm not going to settle for second best

because some conviction-hungry lawyer is scaring people.

I'll expect an apology for that last one.

I hope you're holding your breath.

Do you have a comment on this? Not right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, please no more questions at this time.

Thank you very much. Scott, come here for a minute, will you please?

Look, we've got to find out what's going on.

It's the number number one at 11 o'clock.

We've got to see more about that position of the Steinberg case.

Hey, get back.

Come on, step back. Come on, back, please.

Why'd you try to shoot him?

Because...

no one cared.

Daniel Shaw, age 23.

You know him, counselor?

Two years ago his girlfriend got 20 to life for murdering her mother.

She confessed, Kojak.

This one signed a confession before I got there.

Forgive me. Forgive me, gentlemen.

I'm deeply grieved.

It's unfortunate the boy was only 23.

It's so, so very young.

When I accepted disappointment,

I was fully aware that a public official

faces the citizens' ire and their anger as well as their trust.

However, I will do my best to earn their respect.

Thank you.

Mr. Burton, is there any truth to the rumor

that you're going to run for district attorney

with the backing of Mrs. Edna Morrison?

No comment.

All right, see what you can get on the kid, okay?

It's getting late.

Got to see about that narco stakeout.

Well, Lieutenant Kojak, you heard, Mr. Burton.

Any comment?

None that you can print.

Are you going to apologize?

Get back.

Let's step back!

In sports, the Giants lost an opportunity to pick up a new linebacker.

The weather continues fair.

And there was another near ride at the wholesale fruit and vegetable market,

but a lettuce truck ran into a celery dealer's stand.

Apparently the salad came out lousy.

On a serious note, this iconic young man tried to shoot one of the city's ablest

and most promising young assistant district attorneys earlier today.

Well, you can say what you want about public figures

who we've been saying a lot about them lately.

All bad.

But young, dedicated, hard-working guys like

Greg Burton received this report as admiration.

Not my envy,

but certainly my respect on the international scene.

Okay.

Well,

what does anybody think?

The latest is it's 20, maybe 30 kilos on the Blue Swan out of Marseille.

Check this out.

I called the Feds after I spoke to Crocker and they said

for us to stay right on it the way we've been doing.

Don't juggle us like oranges, baby.

Lieutenant, we made a deal.

I help you get this shipment,

you get me off the gun running, right?

Ciao.

This guy here gives me an itch, understand?

Keep your back to the wall and keep your belly to the wind.

Daniel Shaw was killed today.

This is where he lived and you know nothing about him, right?

What do you expect for $20 a week?

Did he have any friends?

He never brought nobody here.

He kept the place clean, washed up good.

That's all I care about.

He even went to church.

Why are you giving me your name?

What do you need my name for? It's all right.

It's not important.

Carr.

Myrtle Carr.

Mrs.

Oh, Crocker.

I looked at the kids' prints and ran them

through and all we have is a nice kid, quiet.

Nothing ever happened to him except one night

his girlfriend put a butcher knife through her mother.

Her name's Karen Faust and she's up at Bedford Hills.

Get someone over to 1641 Walker Street.

That's the kids' room.

So forensic can go over it.

Tell the captain that Stavros is still with Getty's and we cover the feds on it.

What else?

Well, they probably won't be until tomorrow.

Where are you going?

We're going up to the prison.

Bedford Hills? It's quite a drive.

Crocker.

The kid lives in a room as quiet as a wet box of soda crackers.

And yet,

he walks up to a man and he tries to blow his head off. Why?

All right.

Any family you know of?

He never even got mail here.

The only place I ever heard him mention was a lunch box on Broadway and 119th.

Yeah.

That's Karen's guy, all right.

Have you seen him lately?

In this town?

I mean, the pizza parlor is only down the street.

But in the Big Apple, you take a job a block away and it's another world, you know?

Did he come here often?

Yeah.

He came sometimes.

Sit over there.

Stare at the paint.

Real lonely guy.

No trouble or nothing. Just kind of lost, you know?

Tell me about Karen Forster, Sally.

Well, her mother was real hard on her, you know.

Well, how was her mother hard on her?

She ran that place and she and Karen lived in the apartment in the back of it

where it happened.

Down the block.

It's empty now.

I know.

Anyway, girls don't usually go out on takeouts, you know.

But her mother made it.

Never mind what could happen on one of the deliveries.

The whole lady was after every dollar, you know.

For a skating.

Boys?

Nothing.

Well, nothing except for

Daniel Shaw.

And he was nothing, you know.

Tell me, Sally, you remember the night it happened?

Do I ever?

She was just coming to work and I was making an order to take out.

And I said, hey, or something. And she said, hey, Sally.

And then she went out with the two specials.

She never did come back.

Remember the order?

I remember it was an old man who called.

Talked like a foreigner.

He called in often so I remember

he worked at the school, usually seven or eight orders at a time.

You see, we get busy and it was hard to call, so one

person would try for them all and get a tip, you know.

Who are them all? - The college students at the street.

Saperstein.

Look, I just left the university registrar's office.

They'll be calling in with some names.

Are you looking for me?

No, lieutenant.

The university?

What's that about?

I'm filling up with a coed. - Okay.

And as an extra added attraction,

I'm also trying to zero in on an older man.

He worked at the school and called in pizza orders for the students.

Right.

I've only gotten to it three or four times, maybe.

Penal psychologist is spread thinner than cops.

I work a beat from Attica to Rikers.

What else is new?

It gets hot in August.

Lieutenant,

one of the inmates heard about Shaw's death on the radio, so the girl knows.

Look,

do you think she tried to kill herself because a parole was turned down?

Oh, no.

This girl is full of such deep loathing for herself, it permeates the air around her.

I mean, a parole turned down was painful for him, but she didn't give a damn.

I think she was trying to give him the chance to be free of her once and for all.

Is she lucid?

She's sane.

Whatever that means.

Karen,

this is Lieutenant Kojak. He wants to talk to you.

Hey, kid.

I'm sorry about your friend.

You killed him?

No.

Somebody did.

Yes. - Who?

It was a police officer.

Why?

Tried to shoot somebody.

An assistant district attorney named Burton.

You remember him, don't you?

I'm death.

I'm evil.

Daniel Shaw ever talk to you about shooting Burton?

Matricide.

I killed my mother.

I was talking about Daniel Shaw.

I killed Danny, too.

However it happened.

Hey.

Well, look who got lost uptown.

How you doing, Lieutenant?

Just came down to see if you guys are still

collecting your paychecks, such as send all the heavy work down to Manhattan South.

So what do we got here?

We got a kid who comes out of the past.

No record.

No history of any violence.

He signs his bank book over to this Karen Forster

and then he goes and tries to shoot the DA who prosecuted him.

Probably blow his brains out after.

Yeah, but why Burton first?

You know, Burton.

No plea bargaining.

She admitted she did it before Burton got to her.

She didn't even have to do that. We had a cold.

She sat up with the woman all night with a knife in her hand.

Next morning the chef walks in and finds her there.

Anything else?

You know something?

I know less now than I did when I walked in here.

I'm not sure I even feel sorry for her.

Listen, I lived with the case. She was a bad penny.

Sweet smile, innocent face.

The only thing that kept her from being a hooker was she gave it away.

That's a pretty heavy number. I mean, even for an apprentice hooker.

She never even gave us a reason.

You come up with one and I'll buy it.

Listen, whatever I can do to help.

Huh?

You got a deal.

Kojak.

Hello.

We've got to talk.

Can you come in right away?

I don't know what the hell it is.

That's why I want you to come in.

Nice!

Oh, shut it off.

Hi. How you been? - Good.

Use the doubles partner next Saturday. - You're on.

Welcome back from the firing line.

Hi.

Greg.

The afternoon papers say he was Karen Foster's boyfriend.

As a matter of fact, he was.

No sweat.

He's in control.

You know everyone here? Joe Allen? - Sure.

Hi.

I just met both your sons down on the lawn.

Mr. Burton, she's waiting for you now.

Uh-oh. That means you were very good or very bad.

Ciao.

What do you think?

She says he's in control.

Maybe she's wrong.

Well, come in.

I got here as soon as I could.

You sound out of breath.

No! No, I'm not.

Greg, when a man stands in front of me red-faced and out of breath,

he's either done something well that I was not a part of,

or he's trying to hide something that I was not a party to,

and either case, I'm offended.

Sit down.

Oh, good Lord, groping around like a drunken sailor.

I may not even let you in among my antiques the next time you call.

You want me to raise the shade?

Lieutenant Decker, when the sun goes down, I come out.

It's an arrangement I've had for years.

I will get to the reason why you're here and leave my comforts to my servants.

Lieutenant Kojak drove up yesterday to Bedford Hill State Prison to see Karen Foster.

This morning he came to see me.

My friends tell me that he is an unpleasant man.

Hard-nosed. - Is he honest?

Very.

Well, yes.

That might be sort of unpleasant to some of my friends.

At any rate, I have called the Commissioner,

and what I hear about this man, there won't be enough.

Are there any suggestions?

Load him up.

His office has done a before-done cooperative cops.

He's got a squad to run, investigations, depositions.

No way he can be on the parkway five hours a day

if the DA's office throws his work back at him.

She murdered her mother.

She signed a confession. That's all he'll find.

This will all blow over, I assure you.

Greg, you are a charming young man.

If I had a daughter,

you would make a gentle husband and father.

Unfortunately, what I'm looking for now is hard-headed logic.

Is Lieutenant Kojak to be a problem, or is he not?

No, I don't think so.

I see.

Decker, put the lid on and screw it down tight, and I'll call Albany.

Mrs. Morrison. Yes.

Greg,

you don't think it's important that I should know

that you and Lieutenant Kojak have locked horns before

and often?

I can handle him.

You get along with that man

until we can determine

how much of a problem he is going to be

and what more, if anything,

we shall have to do about him.

You can slice it any way you want, Frank.

First you get a call from the local brass, right?

Then you get a call from the capitol, saying, hey, lay off.

It's not nice for lieutenants to yell at assistant DAs.

How come?

It's no secret. Edward Morrison, the county chairman,

has a rise on Burton for DA, and that's just for starters.

State assembly, attorney general.

Listen, when that grand dame says to sing, you better start to yodel.

You know Lieutenant Decker, Manhattan North?

Yeah.

Well, this guy wouldn't activate a sweat gland if his mother was dying of thirst.

As soon as I go over there and look into Daniel Shaw's girlfriend's case,

he falls all over himself being cooperative.

These are the facts you're going to hang by?

Fact number one, Decker was the investigating officer in that case.

Fact number two, Burton was nobody in a DA's office.

And fact number three, two months after our number one loser,

Kevin Forster's arrested, Decker, he makes lieutenant.

And Burton, he becomes the new star on the political horizon.

Yeah, those are the facts I'm hanging on to.

Kojak.

Greg Burton.

Greg Burton.

Oh, I promised to cooperate.

Just don't hurt my family.

Let's have lunch today.

Well, you and me together, I'd love to.

The plaza, one o'clock. I've booked a table.

Table for two. I'll be there.

As well.

Hey, Al.

He's bending backwards.

For once.

Try.

Let's start with a bottle of Chateau Margot wine.

Good to see you.

I've ordered some white wine, okay?

Is it as good as beer?

It's a start.

And I have a feeling that's all you and I need.

Can I ask you a question? - Sure.

I know what you're doing here, but what the hell am I doing here?

That's blunt.

You gotta start someplace, right? - Okay.

I need a retraction, Theo.

You said some rough things.

It's already on the air, and who does it serve but the press?

Need a retraction.

Remember Donovan?

He needed eight hours.

Okay.

I just put a stay on Donovan.

You can present whatever new evidence you've got,

and meanwhile we'll entertain motion for bail.

I don't know what to say. I'm overwhelmed.

I'm shocked.

Would the real Mr. Burton please stand up?

You get to know me, who knows?

You might discover we both have the same goals.

All right. I'm waiting for the other shooter for.

We issue a joint statement.

Regret, past misunderstandings, et cetera.

Pressures of work, et cetera.

Justice delayed as justice denied.

Mutual respect, future cooperation, et cetera.

Why am I doing this?

Well, I'll tell you why.

I'm just starting out politically.

I need friends, not enemies.

At least you're frank.

Just like you.

I'm an optimist.

Either that or you think I'm a patsy.

Oh, no. I don't think you're a patsy.

Not for a minute.

You don't take a patsy to lunch,

you get rid of him with a phone call.

What I think you are is a hard-headed cop who wants what I want.

Justice, fair play.

For me and for the people on the other side of my desk.

So I sit in front of you here and Mr.

Ward over there, right?

Hmm.

Mr. Ward, please.

I had hoped the lieutenant and I would come to a meeting of the mines

and put this silly quarrel into proper perspective, but I was too.

.. too eager

to call it settled.

I shouldn't have called you until the lieutenant and I came to an understanding

in private, and I apologize

to both of you.

Well said.

Mr. Ward, Mr. Burton.

So what do I print?

News is news.

Is the argument settled or isn't it?

What do you say, Theo?

Look, yesterday you fried me in court, right?

And then I followed a lead on a kid who took a shot at you.

And it led to Karen Foster,

a confessed murderer. You tried her and you convicted her.

All of a sudden I get a call from downtown.

Every stuff.

And then you call, talking about friendship

and understanding and get-together and like that and you know something? That wine.

It smells beautiful. The company?

Down the tubes, baby.

It's a great meeting, counselor.

You know, you answered a lot of questions for me, except the big one.

What the hell are you so scared about?

Did you get it all, baby? - Yeah.

And that's the news from abroad.

Now we turn to news of local interest.

The open-air conflict between Assistant D.A.

Greg Burton and Lieutenant Theo Kojak has exploded into a full Donnybrook.

At a luncheon today billed as a hatchet-burying ceremony,

Lieutenant Kojak attacked the D.A.'s

office with charges.

Hey, that was exciting.

Yeah, well.

Come on, I didn't come here to look at the viewers, though.

Getty says that freighter is still coming in.

Lieutenant, we're looking for you.

Yeah, I was up at Bedford Hills.

Again?

Boy, did you read the paper?

I wish I got taken to lunch by a D.A.

with muscle I'd make captain in a month.

It's enough of that, okay?

You got a million dollars worth of smack coming down.

Where's your stoolie? Where's your cover?

What are you doing about verification?

Lieutenant,

we're doing it very carefully.

I mean, I know you got a lot of pressure on you

and all that, but don't sweat this one, okay?

Yeah.

If the captain could see me now,

can you remember?

It's our secret.

You know, I've been wanting to do this for years.

But here, enough is enough.

Just hold it.

Fantastic.

There you go.

Why do you come here?

I come to fly my kite.

You want to know why Dandy tried to kill that man?

Yes.

What's it matter? It's all over.

Everything's over.

You know, Burton didn't convict you.

You confessed.

To matricide.

Yeah.

Well,

you gotta have a reason for something like that.

You know, maybe if you told me.

A reason, not an excuse.

When you find out, will she be alive again?

No.

But it may stop you from dying.

Assistant D.A.

Dunn, I was just on my way up to your office to give you deposition.

I'm sorry, I'm running late for a meeting.

You've been re-slaughtered for two this afternoon.

Hey, look at me. Remember public servant overwork too?

That's tough.

Hey, what's with you guys? Why start a war?

Ask your lieutenant, baby.

What do you mean my statement was incomplete?

I've been making our complete statements for 18 years.

I'll do it again.

Okay.

That kid Karen Foster, she went to St. Victor's.

Got pretty good grades.

Now who asked you to look into that case?

Well, I had a little time, lieutenant.

The mother superior says that Karen's old lady

had this thing about making her kid a big name

in figure skating, and she kept her at it day and night.

But the kid still managed to be a good student.

Now, look, if you don't have enough to do on your own cases, let me know, will ya?

I'll give you something else to do, okay?

Saperstein.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Kojak.

Lieutenant, I'm all tied up. I can't get back there.

Hey, Crocker, I want a full in-depth report on Geddes.

Now why don't I have it? Starburst is busy on that surveillance.

I don't have the book on Geddes because they threw the Donaldson case back in my face

this morning, and Dunn just canceled our appointment.

On what grounds?

Oh, never mind.

Hey, do the best you can, okay?

Hello, Theo.

No time, no see.

Hey, Fido.

How long have you been out? About a year.

You keep them clean? Beautiful.

Everything.

What's that for? Just keep your hand out of the cash register.

Where's Angus?

Nice to see you.

Oh, Angus.

I need a writ.

I gotta bring a prisoner down from Bedford Hills to Rikers Island.

Why me?

Because you're a very cooperative assistant D. A.

Good or late. He's dead.

You know, this food is bad for me, and I think today

it's gonna be even worse.

Has to do with Burton, right?

Yeah, he won't even let me see her.

Why? I don't know why.

You want some of this knocklers?

I need your help.

I really shouldn't need so much, huh?

Just one.

You know, you're not asking.

You're leaning.

Hey, he's leaning on me and on my men.

Sauerkraut?

It's the best thing on the plate.

All right, just a little.

So? - He's leaning.

He said rough things about him.

Hey, tell me one thing I said about him that isn't true.

Potato?

With all this make work.

And don't tell me you didn't get orders to pressure my department.

It was suggested that we

scrutinize your reports more carefully.

And I don't even know why, do you?

Theo.

You lost your marbles locking horns with the guy in the Edna Morrison cap.

Now, why should my gallbladder suffer?

Oh, good. So we, uh, we get the writ, bring it down from Rikers Island, okay?

And then what?

Then I take it for a tour of the city.

Are you crazy? No way a prisoner could be out of custody.

Hey, I can't keep going up there every time I have a lead on her, right?

So you go to your friends at the Department of Correction and you tell them,

we got new evidence in the case, and you

gotta bring the prisoner down to your office.

So you assign me to bring her from Rikers Island to your office, ta-da!

And you take the long way.

Well, a little bit.

I am a very content assistant DA.

I want to get old in the job.

Don't ask me, Theo.

Angus,

four years ago you came to me on your hands and knees begging for help.

And I helped you.

And I went to guys I didn't even like in order to help you.

In order to get you old on the job.

And now I'm coming to you because you owe me. And you owe me big, Angus.

I need a writ, I need a test, I need it now and like that.

What's the name again? Forster.

Karen Forster.

I hope you know what we're getting into.

I don't know what we're getting into, Angus.

But I want to find out what we're getting into.

Edna Morrison.

That broad's got more money and power than

Boss Tweed in the old days.

She makes and breaks guys bigger than us.

Just for the fun of pulling strings.

Okay, I'll try to remember the name.

And, er,

look right there.

Now you didn't finish it, did you?

This way, please.

Mrs. Morrison will be with you promptly.

Thank you.

You won't be sorry.

I don't know how to thank you.

What a part of Stalwood.

Yeah.

Lieutenant Kojak.

Yes.

Come in.

Thank you.

All right.

After 30 years of party caucusing, which, as you

know, is just another word for a drunken brawl,

I've become immune to cigar smoke.

Good.

Well.

What do you do?

Haptricks?

No. Mostly I observe.

Are you observing me?

Oh, goodness.

Days of the rubber hose are long gone.

I'm being drilled.

Mrs. Morrison.

I am a lieutenant of police.

You know my name.

You knew I was coming.

Of course, the guard at the gate called you and told you I was coming.

Now, it's not often that you're visited by lieutenants of police.

Although I do know some would give their right arm to have an audience with you.

So why don't you just ask me why I'm here?

Are you saying that I have political power?

An armada.

But you still haven't asked me.

Well, I'm flattered.

I'd always seen myself as no more than a few old battle wagons.

But I enjoy my role, lieutenant.

I'm sure your work has added meaning to your life.

My work is upholding the law.

And mine is disseminating power.

It's not quite sex.

But it keeps the adrenaline going.

Supposing

you lost your job.

Supposing you weren't lieutenant Kojak at this time of your life.

Gracious. Are you applying pressure?

I mean like that

gentleman who just walked out of here.

In your case, it's just a supposition.

And you still haven't asked me why I'm here?

I try not to ask anything

of anyone.

I dislike rejections.

But I'm sure you'll get around to it in your own way.

Okay, lady. Enough.

I just don't like what's happening to me.

I don't like being pushed around.

I don't like my men being pushed around.

That's heavy stuff.

I've heard about your little war.

Then hear this. There's no way that an assistant DA can apply

that kind of muscle. And there's no way that Burton could have somebody from Albany

called down in order to get my train derailed.

Greg Burton is a good public servant

and everybody knows him. Are you sure? I know it.

That's fantastic that you can know that so clearly.

I hope you're not always so sarcastic.

This is playing ping pong, baby.

And I'm telling you right now, the game's over.

You're behind it.

And don't say no.

Because if you say no, I'm going to say yes.

Will you also tell me what ever for?

Daniel Shaw.

Who?

You did that very well.

Who?

You're right. He's a who.

He's a nobody.

But he's important to somebody someplace.

And I'm going to find out.

And I got news for you, lady.

Call off your dogs or this whole thing's going to blow up right in front of your face

in this pretty green room library, whatever it is.

I hope you've got your hands on this.

I'm keeping abreast of things.

Edna, you enjoy jousting.

I don't. How much does he know?

The lieutenant is furious because he has no

idea what this is about and he will not know.

Just remember, you said you could handle it.

We let you handle it.

Don't be wrong about him, Edna.

You're not alone in this mess.

Oh, you're in here.

What's left?

Well, you're in the appropriate place.

We aren't you outside re-checking all your paperwork

with the rest of your unnecessarily overworked men.

Frank,

some flaky kid takes a pot shot at the D.A.

So I make a few legitimate inquiries

and I find out that his only friend was prosecuted by our friend Burton.

He didn't tried her.

She didn't cop a plea.

She signed a confession.

So much for that motive.

Okay.

So why all the pressure when I look into it?

Theo, I want to know your plans.

Well,

I can't give you a chapter and verse.

I don't need any lip.

I'm your friend.

I'll go see the girl in the morning.

All the way up there again?

She was brought down to Rikers Island.

How are you able to do that?

Frank, if I told you, I would make you an accomplice.

You're not ready.

You mustn't keep people waiting when you told them you'd be ready.

Lieutenant Decker, please.

Hello, Karen.

Dr. Garvey, you sure get around.

I brought it down when Angus Moore requested it.

Well, you are helping.

I'm reserving the decision.

Karen.

Lieutenant.

I think I know the speech.

Let's be sure you do.

That's a human being, not just a lead to follow.

Please, keep it in mind.

Kojak got a writ to produce stomped on an old

rummy from this office and pulled the girl.

I know. A nurse out there called me.

Hey, the guy's got his own connections.

Decker, I got a career.

You got a nice job.

It's on your hands.

It's Ryan here.

Ryan? Decker.

I got a job for you.

Yeah? What is it?

You're a bear.

You're a great wooly teddy bear.

Take a look at that, okay?

That could be a lot of things, but a great big wooly teddy bear.

I mean, how could that be?

Because I say so.

Okay.

Are they good?

Oh, yeah.

They got to be in competition.

Why are you spending time with me?

I'm nobody important.

What's done is done.

All right, take it.

Okay?

Now, close your eyes.

And you imagine that no matter what I say,

nothing bad can happen to you, okay? Daniel Shaw.

Daniel Shaw.

Now, Daniel Shaw tried to kill somebody who I neither like nor trust.

And I had to investigate.

Then, you know what? I met you.

And suddenly something happened.

People I didn't even know.

They tried to keep me from seeing you.

Watch this.

Ta-da!

I guess you showed me, right?

What would I show you?

Show me that

people like to do their own thing.

It's almost like I leave the ground.

Is that why you like to skate?

It's like I'm a bird.

Soaring.

Free, alone.

Mostly because I'm alone.

Cold air in my cheeks,

wind in my ears, soundless.

Is that a good reason?

Some people do it because they like to win.

No?

How much do Daniel Shaw want to win?

A lot.

And your mother?

I got the key from the, uh, from the owner of the building.

Come on.

I shouldn't be here.

Come on. It's only an empty pizza drink.

I killed someone here.

I killed her.

I killed her.

Like that!

And that! And that! And that!

And that! And that! It's all right.

Lieutenant Kojak,

Lieutenant One, order to command.

Kojak.

Lieutenant Kojak?

You don't know me, but I'm going to lay on a couple of names that you do know.

Daniel Shaw, Karen Foster.

I keep talking.

I know a lot more than names.

And for a nice round figure, I'm willing to share it all.

Hey, before I lay any bread on you, I got to see some samples.

You get it just one time.

In one hour, come and meet me down here

on South Street, underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, the

Manhattan side, by the, uh, by the Oseman factory.

Why don't you make it two?

I got to take a friend home.

Two hours, no more.

Park, leave your car out in the open.

Don't bring any friends.

Two hours, it'll be all over.
