Here he comes.

- that oughta do it.
- okay.

Hold it.
His glasses.

- ready?
- wait a minute.

The 24-second clock
Is down to six seconds.

We'’re down to five, four--
Bradley--

Did you say new york
By 14, fowler?

Yeah?

Looks like you'’ll pick up
The turkey tab again.

Over to frazier!
Let him block! Come on!

Some guy from the
Traffic division wants to know

If you know
A stanley jacobi.

Yeah?

We got the body
Out of the car.

They'’re bringing it up now.

We found his I.D.
And your card, lieutenant.

But how did it happen?

Looks like
He fell asleep.

Fell asleep?
After making that curve?

I'’ve seen 'em nod
In the middle of a drag race.

Who all has been notified?

We reached his boss,
A roy dennison,

In the bar at the st. Andrew.

Deputy coroner feingold,
Uh, was notified

And will meet the attendant
At the city morgue.

Stavros.

Get on the horn.

Notify feingold'’s office
That I want that autopsy report

As soon as it'’s completed,

And I want to be the first man
In this borough

To take a look at it.

Okay, lieutenant.

Assembly paul murchison.

Go right on in,
Mr. Assemblyman.

Been holding this booze
For an hour and a half.

I'’m sorry, whit.

There was a very ugly bill
In albany.

I just had to go against it.

Margie. Sid.

Mmm.

Who is that,
And why don'’t I know?

Jeri devereaux.

She'’s executive secretary
To the zoning commission.

That'’s the secretary?

Mmm.

All the members of the
Zoning commission were invited.

Isn'’t that baker,
The commission chairman?

- mm-hmm.
- thought he never went out.

He does when you'’ve just made
A $5,000 donation

To his wife'’s favorite charity.

- I see.
- excuse me.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen,
The commercial!

Would you all please sit down?

Thank you.

I don'’t know most of you,
Except by reputation.

To be official,
I'’m whitney farrow.

I build things.

In the last six years,

I'’ve built four stadiums--
Uh, stadia, I guess--

A retirement community,
State exposition,

And several dozen
Shopping complexes.

It'’s, uh...
It'’s been interesting, people.

It'’s been what
I wanted my life to be,

And the nicest thing of all
Is that, looking back,

I can honestly say
That I'’ve never once

Sold a customer something that
He really didn'’t want or need.

That'’s been
My guiding principle--

Never to move into a city

And tell the leaders
Of the community what they need,

But to ask.

Ask, ask if they'’d like
What I'’m presenting to them,

As I'’m asking you tonight,
Ladies and gentlemen,

Members
Of the zoning commission,

And, uh, if you say no,
Well,

I'’ll just fold up my specs
And move on.

At the moment
It'’s called audubon gardens.

That'’s also subject to change.

I'’ll shut up
Till the light show is over.

Good evening.
Do you have an invitation?

Oh! Fat feeney.

You lost a lot of weight.

Why don'’t you
Send yourself up, kojak?

You could use
A sing sing slimming.

Well, you'’re gonna
Get five more years for that.

Hey, look, you got
An assemblyman in there

By the name of murchison
Watching those blue films?

Will you tell him there'’s a cop
Out here

That'’s gonna give him a ticket
For peeking

At these porno pictures.

Go ahead.

Which way are we looking now?

Oh, uh--
Oh, we'’re looking across,

Uh, east of 17th street.

The frontage
Is about 1/3 of a mile.

Couldn'’t this wait
Until morning?

A man is dead, counselor,

A young man working undercover.

Name is stanley jacobi.
That ring a bell?

No.
Working undercover on what?

Well, you know, a raider,
Young lawyer,

Citizen'’s committee,
Searching for the truth,

A dreamer,
If you know what I mean.

That'’s it.

If you think it'’s right
For new york,

I'’m in the phone book.

Thank you.

Let'’s hear your whole theory,
Lieutenant.

A whole lot of bricks
And steel and wood and plastic

Goes into a deal this size.

You know, a 5% kickback
On light bulbs alone

Is enough to send a guy
To tahiti for life.

Lieutenant,
The state and the government

Have adequate safeguards

To see that their share
Of the investment

Is dispersed with no suspicion
Of graft or skimming.

What are you trying to do,
Counselor, buy my vote?

Don'’t you think I know what goes
Into a deal like this?

A niagara of money
Goes into a project this size,

And everybody'’s got
His little cup out

Looking to catch a couple
Of drops for himself,

But somebody put out a barrel,

And stanley jacobi found out
About it.

I want you
To postpone this meeting.

I wanna get the guy who shoved
Jacobi off that highway,

Because he doesn'’t belong
In this deal;

He belongs in a cage.

I doubt if we'’re contemplating
Making any deals

With known murderers,
Lieutenant.

This is an urgent plan

For a disadvantaged part
Of the city

Proposed by the most reputable
Of developers.

I do not intend to delay it

Because you have
Some sort of hunch

About a highway accident.

In other words, buzz off.

Power to the people,
Right, mr. Assemblyman?

Ciao, baby.

What was that all about?

A detective lieutenant
Bucking for captain'’s bars.

He won'’t be back.

Oh?

I seem to remember somebody
Saying that about napoleon.

I wasn'’t expecting you, whit.

I had to take admiral rawlins
Back to his hotel.

Good party, huh?

Discounting
The conspicuousness

Of mrs. Farrow'’s absence.

Oh, uh, a sudden attack
Of the vapors.

Oh.

Discussing your wife
With your mistress

Is a fool'’s charade, huh?

And I love you.

Amended sentence.

As much as you can love anybody.

Before I forget,

If the commission
Approves rezoning,

Rumor has it that
There'’ll be $50 million

Available in public funds.

Fantastic!

We could push
The whole thing through.

No compromises,
No cutting corners,

No worrying
About nickels and dimes.

I thought you'’d be pleased.

Hey.

Does it bother you so much
To please me?

Not if you don'’t lie to me.

I don'’t have a lot of hopes
And dreams about us,

But I appreciate the truth.

I need it.

Whit.

- uh, first let'’s see the tin.
- oh, yeah.

Oh, my hero.

You oughta spring for
A new holster, sonny boy.

That torpedo there'’s
Bendin'’ your suit.

Come on. Follow me.

Uh-huh.

Stanley jacobi worked for you,
Mr. Dennison?

Wait a minute.

What are you talking about
This time of night?

He had an accident.

I'’ve already been informed.
It'’s terrible.

Now, unless there'’s something
Really urgent...

You carry about $5,000
Or $10,000

In cash on you, right?

I never carry any cash.
Why?

Well, those, uh,
Those two meatballs out there.

You know exactly
What I do, lieutenant.

When whit farrow
Builds something,

I'’m the one
Who lets out the bids.

I hire the subcontractors.

I make the best deal I can
On everything

From concrete
To grass seed.

Oh, I see.

You'’re the one who makes sure
Nobody steals

A couple of bricks,
A bag of sand, right?

Exactly.

You still didn'’t answer
My question.

How about those
Two spicy meatballs out there?

Well, people try to buy me.
They pressure me at times.

I could make a businessman rich
With a phone call.

Uh-huh.
How about jacobi?

What can you do for him
With a phone call?

You mean hurt him?
Why would I want to do that?

He was a bright, young lawyer.

He came up with a lot
Of new, clever tax gimmicks.

I see,
And he was clever enough

To find his way
Into your private books.

He discovered that you had

A couple million dollars'’ worth
Of sandbags

In your private
Swiss bank account.

Hey!
Those are public funds.

You can get into
A lot of trouble

And be sent up for a long time
Skimming off the top.

What do you think
You'’re talking about?

"What do you think you'’re
Talking about?"

What do I think
I'’m talking about?

I'’m talking about murder,
Dummy.

If you didn'’t have that badge,
I'’d--

What badge?

Don'’t let the posse
Turn you off.

He was a nice guy.
He had guts.

He had something you know
Nothing about, morality.

- I don'’t have to listen--
- hey.

You'’re not gonna get away
With this,

Not with murder you'’re not.

Yeah?

Uh, that'’s interesting.

Sure.
Sure, thanks.

I'’ll talk to you later.

That was my attorney,
Lieutenant.

Looks like you'’d better get back
To the station house.

They'’ll be bringing you in
An autopsy report.

Poor stanley.
Must'’ve been driving too fast.

Accidental death
Due to a highway mishap.

- check the coroner'’s office?
- yeah.

Well, give, already!

How do they explain
Leaking jacobi'’s autopsy report

To dennison'’s lawyer?

It wasn'’t leaked.

It was subpoenaed by the office
Of assemblyman paul murchison.

Oh, that'’s cute.

Assemblyman paul murchison.

That way he'’s gotta roust
The judge out of bed, right?

- right.
- very, very cute.

Hello there.

- this is from the road, right?
- yes, sir.

- and this from the car?
- right.

All right, get on the horn.

You tell mcneil'’s office that
I want to book a guest shot

Before the zoning commission.

Go ahead.

Here.

Find out where jacobi
Had his glasses made.

- and see this here?
- yeah.

Check it out thoroughly.

Maybe there'’s a chance
It might be prescription glass.

- right.
- don'’t you think I'm brilliant?

- sure.
- sure.

Now, this first line shows
The trajectory of a vehicle

Going off the highway

At approximately
55 miles an hour.

Now, even allowing
For the lessening of speed

Going through this guard rail,

The vehicle
Would have landed here.

Now, early this morning

I had stanley jacobi'’s car
Brought back up the road.

I had them start the engine,

And I had them
Put it into drive.

From a standing start,
His vehicle landed here,

Exactly where it was found
At 9:55 last night

When the traffic officers
Spotted it.

You'’re saying that you believe
That jacobi

Was stopped on the parkway...

Rendered unconscious
And then shoved off the road

To make it look like an
Accident.

I'’m sure we're all impressed
With the, uh,

Zeal you bring to your job,
Lieutenant,

But I, for one,
Am still uncertain

As to why you'’ve asked
To testify here.

This is
A zoning commission hearing,

Not a coroner'’s inquest.

I'’ve asked to testify,
Assemblyman,

For the same reason I tried to
Spell it out to you last night.

Now, you'’ve been asked
To approve a 350-acre project.

Let me tell you this.

When the ball starts rolling
On audubon gardens,

There'’s gonna be so much money
Kicking around

That you'’re not gonna be able
To stop it.

And why should they?

Well, because in a few months

It won'’t be known
As audubon gardens

But as kickback city.

Wait.

Wait just a minute, kojak.

This is my project.

What are you accusing me of?

I'’m not accusing you
Of anything, sir.

Roy dennison.

I believe that stanley jacobi

Was about to find out something
About him.

Dennison?
No. I don'’t believe it.

I don'’t believe
You have a thing on him.

What would you recommend

The zoning commission do,
Lieutenant?

I respectfully recommend, sir,
That no decision be made today,

Not at least until
Our investigation

Has been concluded.

Well, since it can only
Vindicate roy,

That'’s a suggestion
I'’ll reluctantly endorse,

Chairman baker.

If there
Are no dissenting opinions,

This hearing stands
Adjourned

Until such time
As the directors

Of the audubon project
Request a further review.

I think, lieutenant,

You may find
You'’ve overreached yourself.

Oh, my slip is showing?

You'’ve been meddling
In areas which,

Even by the most liberal
Interpretation of your duties,

Are none of your business.

So you'’re telling me
To shut up and sit down.

Since candor
Is to be the currency

Of this conversation, yes.

That would be
My considered recommendation.

Candor.

So we'’re into candor now,
Right, assemblyman?

Well, since you gave me
Your candid opinion,

Let me give you mine.

Stick with the small boys,
Sonny.

You'’re in
A heavyweight division.

I see.

How does staten island
Strike you, lieutenant?

Or would you prefer
To while away

Your twilight years
In jackson heights?

Well, since you'’re
Passing out choices, counselor,

Why don'’t you make it sing sing
And just dump me there.

But I'’ll tell you something--

I'’ll be waiting for you
With a welcome wagon

When your pie wagon arrives.

You'’re all death wish,
Aren'’t you, kojak?

No, all nose.

You know, maybe I can understand

Your subpoenaing
The autopsy report,

Maybe even justifying
Your interest in it,

But one thing I can'’t stand,

And that'’s the stink
Of your leaking it

To dennison'’s lawyer.

Make some friends, kojak,

Make lots of friends.

You'’re going to need them.

Tell me about it, sweetheart.

Well, we'’ve just lost
Another one of our backers,

12 million dollars'’ worth.

United insurance
Decided to pull out.

The delay,
It started to make '’em twitchy.

Have the check drawn.

Bring it to me for signature,

And deliver it to united

At the close
Of the business day.

Farrow construction.

Yes.

Mr. Marchette.

Victor.

Word'’s around your passengers
Are jumping ship,

So tell me, skipper,
How come I'’m not worrying, huh?

Tell me.

Why shouldn'’t I raise a sweat?
Why?

Well, because
There'’s nothing to worry about.

Oh, you say.
What if it was your money?

Well, then it wouldn'’t matter,
Would it?

I'’d be my own man, marchette,
Not yours.

No way.

You know who'’s his own man?
Hmm? Nobody.

Now, let'’s face it,
Who wants to be a nobody?

Now look,
Ever since watergate,

I stay on the phone too long
I get hives.

We need to meet,
Eyeball to eyeball.

Lieutenant, this guy who
Worked for farrow, dennison?

Mm-hmm.
What about him?

Just killed himself.

Bottle of barbiturates.

Hey, look, if you gotta go
It beats a cement kimono.

- he leave a note?
- yeah.

I see.
Short and sweet.

Written with a cannon
Under his nose.

You'’re saying
This wasn'’t suicide?

Come on. Are you kidding?

It'’s got mob
Written all over it.

This guy wasn'’t depressed.

Last time I was here,
He had a couple of house pets.

You round them up, you can
Put this in the out basket.

Now we gotta find out
Who'’s giving them orders.

- theo, may I see you a minute?
- yeah.

So I won'’t bother asking,

Do you know how much trouble
That kind of loose mouth

Can get you into?

Or how much trouble
It can cause the department?

You'’re talking about
Assembly paul murchison, right?

You'’re damn right I am.

Where do you get
The 14-karat chutzpah

To talk to an elected official
Like that,

And in front of a dozen
Witnesses?

Hey, look, mac, uh,

I'’m into something.

Oh, you'’re onto something?

You'’ll be on to men's ready-wear
If murchison has his way.

What kind of an answer is that?
"Hey, mac, I'’m onto something."

I can'’t explain now.
Not yet. Not now.

That'’s beautiful.

That is--
That is arrogance.

You can'’t explain?

All of a sudden you'’ve opened up
Your own police department?

What am I supposed to do,
Take the family to lake placid?

No, mac.
You'’re supposed to trust me.

Roy dennison is dead!

He was my closest associate.

So what?
You'’re clean.

And kojak'’s out of suspects
For the jacobi bump.

Roy and I
Worked together for years.

Yeah, well, we'’re
Working together now.

Your friend roy
Got a little sloppy,

And I had to clean up the mess.

You oughta be thanking me.
Nobody'’s got anything on you.

But more important than that,

These investors pulling out,
Now, that could hurt us.

But murder won'’t?

Kojak didn'’t leave jacobi's
Death an accident.

Do you think he'’s gonna
Leave dennison'’s a suicide?

Oh, come on, come on.

He'’s gotta bury both of them
Sooner or later.

I need money!

I have to look as solid
On paper as fort knox!

I have to be beyond reproach,
Suspicion.

You asked for $50 million.
We gave it to you.

You said you could get backers
For the rest of it.

Now, if you needed more,
You should'’ve said so going in.

Tell me something.

How does a smart operator
Like you

Get in a hole like this?

One does get into
Legitimate problems.

Short money for loans,
Taxes, or--

You wouldn'’t know about taxes,
Would you?

No, I wouldn'’t know
About taxes.

Not at all.

Come here!

You came to the organization.

You sold us condominiums,
Marinas, shopping centers,

A hundred different businesses.

You put it all in our hands,
All at one time,

And all you and your pal
Dennison,

What did you want?

To skim a bundle
Off the contracts.

U-uh, I-I'’ll still deliver.

I-I need money.
I need more money!

Money.

What do you know
About money, huh?

You little snot-nose,
What do you know about money?

You know what I did for money
When I was your age, huh?

Well, I'’ll tell you.

First I got a rock,
And then I got a shiv,

And when I could afford it,
I got a cannon,

And I was on top of the world.

I couldn'’t do anything wrong.

So what are you cryin'’ about,
Huh?

We gave you millions!

What did you give us?

Just a front with
Your harvard business degree.

You'’d better deliver,
You understand?

Do you understand me?

Photo of a fragment of glass

Found on the shoulder
Of the road.

Here'’s a specimen of glass

Found in
A chicago optometrist'’s file.

Glasses made for jacobi
Three years ago,

When he was
Just getting out of law school.

Then there'’s no doubt
In the world.

Whoever broke jacobi'’s glasses
Did it on the parkway,

So it was murder.

Always a thrill.

Okay,
How'’s it going for you?

Oh, I'’m in like flynn.

That little scene
Outside the commission office

Earned me nothing
But brownie points.

Well, let'’s hope so.

You know, I been gettin'’ nothin'
But static

From my division commander.

Had to make it look good,
Didn'’t I?

Yeah,
Sometimes you wonder

Who'’s doing what to who
And for what.

A couple of staged arguments
Is one thing.

Even leaking that autopsy report
To one of dennison'’s stooges,

But supposing they get down

To offering "X" number
Of dollars to buy me,

My office, and the clout
That goes with it?

What are we gonna do
About that one?

Not even the grand jury

Knows we'’re working together
On this.

If something happened to you

And some of this stuff
Came out,

How the hell
Would I ever convince anyone

I was only pretending to go
Onto the syndicate'’s payroll?

What do you want me
To tell you, councilor?

For your sake, assemblyman,

You'’d better hope
I stay healthy.

Come on.
I'’ll buy you a popcorn.

So you still don'’t know
Who his angel is, huh?

No, if farrow'’s in bed
With the wise guys,

You couldn'’t prove it
By anything he'’s said so far.

Well, maybe by something
He does.

Now look, he'’s in
A lot of trouble, right?

A lot of these heavy investors
Have started to pull out.

Now if we can delay
That commission ruling

For just a little while,

There'’s gonna be
A regular stampede.

He'’s gonna be forced
To go to the moustache boys

For additional financing.

I'’m not so sure
He'’ll get them.

I made a remark earlier

To the effect that he'’d have
To shake his money tree again.

He said,
"The money tree is white birch.

It doesn'’t transplant well."

"White birch"?

What does
That make you think of?

New england.
Massachusetts. Connecticut.

And if farrow was operating
In new england

As an overseas investment
Consultant for several banks.

That was in 1966,

Before he went into
The real estate business.

Yeah, you know,
A lot of these moustache boys

Are known for stashing
Their dough in switzerland,

For getting into
This foreign investment.

Maybe this is where farrow
Came in contact with them.

I'’ll get on him in the morning.

- all I need is an ax.
- an ax?

I can'’t tell a lie.

I'’m gonna chop down
The money tree.

Listen,
Has it occurred to you,

If I'’m right,

If his backers
Won'’t ante up any more cash,

Then farrow has to find a way
To pressure the commission

Into handing out
A favorable ruling now?

Mm-hmm.
Excuse me.

This crossed my mind,
Counselor.

How'’s he gonna do it?
I mean, what'’s his handle?

I understand
There was a brief meeting

Of the zoning commission
This afternoon

With lieutenant kojak present.

Do you know
The difference

Between sworn personnel
And ordinary employees?

I don'’t see what
That has to do with--

Sworn personnel
Raise their right hand

And swear a kind of allegiance
To their duties.

The idea is that people
Can trust them.

I hardly ever have
A conversation with you

In which I don'’t violate
That oath at least once.

I am touched.

I hadn'’t seen myself
As the subverter of--

Don'’t make fun of me.

I just mentioned it
In passing.

Yes, there was a brief meeting
This afternoon.

Kojak reviewed
Dennison'’s records.

He said he doubts the suicide
Was a suicide.

That'’s all he had?

That'’s all specifically.

Is there so much more
For him to find out?

Look,

Jeri,

I hadn'’t even heard of jacobi

Before he went off
That highway.

Dennison hired him
For personal business.

You know how close I was
With roy.

Then what are you afraid of?

Failure?

You said yourself at the party,

If they rejected your proposal
You'’d throw in--

I know what I said!

Honey, it'’s not that simple.

I have partners.

Partners?

You know that bright
And shining future

I promised us?

If this thing falls through,

We'’ll be lucky
If we can swap it

For a tin cup
And a fistful of pencils.

Darling, I'’m sorry.
I hadn'’t realized--

Suppose, uh...

Suppose I asked the board

To reconvene
Tomorrow afternoon.

How would the vote go now?

Most of them
Are still favorable to you.

Most?
Who'’s against me?

Whit, you'’re asking me
To violate an oath.

I need the name, love.

I need it now.

Funniest thing.

You see, he had
These two grandchildren.

The youngest boy was,
Oh, about seven.

The oldest one, nine.

They both went to
A very nice private school.

Beckley is the name.

Well, the oldest kid,
His nickname was spud.

He pitched a three-hitter
In a school game

A couple of months ago.

- whatever happened to '’em?
- nobody knows.

They just disappeared.

Every day at 3:20,
The bus would pick '’em up

At the intersection
Of 4th and willets,

And one day they were gone.

Just a second.

The youngest kid
Was nicknamed champ.

Just a second!

Those are my grandchildren
You'’re talking about!

The grandfather
Could have prevented it,

Of course,
If he hadn'’t been so stubborn.

Now, wait.
Wait!

Good morning, mr. Baker.

Anything wrong?

No. Oh, no, no.

There'’s nothing wrong,
Miss devereaux.

In may of 1966,

Farrow wasn'’t even
In real estate.

He was district loan officer

For all
The connecticut branches

Of the first new england
Merchant'’s bank.

Are you ready?

Monroe tool and dye

Was into the bank heavy
When it went bankrupt.

And roy dennison?

Chief accountant for monroe.
How'’s that?

Well, that'’s when they met.

Well, I think dennison
Embezzled monroe for a bundle.

Farrow found out about it,
Covered it up.

They didn'’t just meet.

Baby, they went to bed
Together.

That'’s when farrow development
Got started.

Dennison
Played with the books,

But it was farrow
With his ivy league look,

He'’s the one
Who put it all together.

Audubon gardens was a project
Supposed to be so big

That they could steal
A fortune from it

Without getting caught.

What about the mob?
Any angle there?

Who knows?

Maybe farrow
Made a syndicate contact

Way back when he
Was an officer with the bank.

You know?
Capital to start his business?

Or dennison,

Maybe he was playing around
On the inside with the mob.

Lieutenant!

Line two!

I told you not to interrupt me
Unless it was important.

Is it a broad?

Someone who says he shared
A bag of popcorn with you.

You got a secret life going,
Theo?

Oh, yeah, tell me about it.
Hello?

We were wondering what farrow
Was gonna use for a handle.

I still don'’t have the answer,
But he must have found one.

He'’s asked for an immediate
Rehearing before the commission.

I am asking, in effect,

For a vote of confidence

In our city,
In ourselves.

Now, there have been several...

Startling, rather tragic events
In the past few hours,

And there are rumors
And some serious misgivings

To investors in the audubon--

I heard there were more
Than misgivings.

Yes,
The redrawn prospectus

Eliminates
Three former sponsors.

It is precisely to avoid
Losing these investors

That I come before
The committee this morning.

Frankly,
I think this whole delay

Contributed
To roy dennison'’s depression.

Now, I say we should push ahead
With speed.

I believe that roy dennison
And jacobi were murdered.

Dennison spelled it out
In his note.

He'’d had surgery recently.
He was already depressed.

Well, the doctor said that he
Was tied together pretty well.

Come on, kojak.
Be honest with us.

I mean, do you have
One solid piece of evidence

To link either
Of these unfortunate deaths

To the audubon gardens?

We have a number of leads

That we'’re following
Through on.

For how long?

Weeks? Months? Years?

For as long as it takes.

Lieutenant, I don'’t want
To stop the investigation.

I want to spend
Hundreds of millions of dollars

On this city'’s future.

Now, assemblyman murchison,

Could I ask if you feel
That the rezoning

Of the acreage
In any way impedes

The law enforcement functions
Of this city,

Or subverts the interests
Of the taxpayers?

No, not from anything
I'’ve personally ascertained.

Thank you.

Well, mr. Baker?

You are the senior member
Of this commission,

Its chairman.

I would appreciate
Your opinion, guidance.

I have looked over the...

Redrawn prospectus...

And I see no reason
Why we cannot...

Settle the matter.

Thank you.

Lieutenant kojak,

You wanted to see me
About something?

Yes, I wanted to see
About something.

I want to know why
You decided to change your vote.

Whew.
I need a drink.

Mr. Marchette phoned.

Yeah?
What did he wa--

Jeri.

All I ever asked for
Was the truth.

That'’s the only thing
You ever offered,

But it was the one thing
I thought I had.

Jeri, this is rather
A public place.

Do you prefer an elevator?

They said they'’d kill
His grandchildren.

Was that your idea?

A-after I gave you his name?

After you passed it along,
Did you suggest--

I don'’t think you
Actually realize what happened.

What happened was,
He was crying.

When...

When he changed
His mind,

Changed his vote,

I waited around
To find out why.

When he told me,

Told me what had happened,

He was crying,

Crying

Because he'’d been afraid
To fight you...

Crying because he knows

He'’ll always be afraid
To fight you...

You and the dirty bunch of thugs
You work for.

Turner.

Mr. M.

I'’ll, uh...

I'’ll take it at the bar.

Would you give me the phone,
Please?

Yes, sir.

Farrow.

Listen, what have you told
That assemblyman

About the setup?

Uh, nothing.
Nor has he asked me. Why?

Well, we'’re suddenly getting
All kinds of calls and pressures

From new england, washington,
The irs, the fbi.

They'’re taking a big interest
In who worked for who,

Who you worked with,

And what ties there might
Still be between all of you.

- based on what?
- based on what?

Based on communications
Between lieutenant kojak

And those agencies
In the last 24 hours.

How can you know all that?

Listen, if we can buy people
In 50 states,

We can buy people
In the district of columbia.

You think there'’s a chance

Murchison'’s playing both sides
Against the middle?

No.
No, no.

I'’m--I'm sure.
I mean, uh, why should he?

Well, buster,
We'’re in the toilet.

Now I have to go to my people
In vegas

And tell '’em
We'’ll fix the situation.

Listen, when you come right down
To it,

That situation'’s a cop,

A cop named kojak.

- no.
- well, think about it.

If murchison
Is working with him,

Say on a secret
Grand jury probe or something,

Odds are they'’ve been
Keeping it between themselves,

You understand?

Now, we eliminate kojak,

And you'’ll have enough
On murchison

That he'’ll belong to us
Forever.

Look,
I won'’t go along with it.

Who do you think the people
In vegas

First suggested getting rid of,
Huh?

Yeah.
You think about that too.

Now, we'’ll work it right.
Look, here'’s what you do.

You call kojak, see.

You tell him
You'’ve done some thinking

And you wanna talk to him
Privately.

That'’s all I have to do,
Just, uh, set it up?

No, that'’s not
All you have to do!

You gotta be there
When he shows!

Be there when they kill him?

If it bothers you that much,
Don'’t watch.

Jeri...

You'’d better go after her.

N-no.

No, there'’s something
I have to do first.

Later.
I'’ll explain later.

Nothing to do
With audubon gardens.

Just some things
That have growth possibilities.

My broker will call you
When they'’re in.

What about baker?

You owe him
A great deal more.

In a way, we gave him
A great deal more.

You mean that'’s not enough?

- after farrow admitted--
- admitted what?

That he gave baker something?

It could'’ve been two tickets
To the garden, leprosy.

But you
Got baker'’s testimony.

That two gorillas
Accosted him in an elevator.

All right,
What about the bribe?

Did he say it was a bribe?

Theo, excuse me.

If you'’re not too busy--

Paul, we'’re going to have
To stop meeting like this.

Tell me about it.

Tell me about it.

Lieutenant kojak.

This is whitney farrow,
Lieutenant.

Would it be possible
For you to meet me?

I, uh...

I-I have something urgent
To discuss with you.

Sure.
We never close.

No, I-I can'’t come there.

It has to be
Someplace private, secluded.

All right, you know
That india street pier?

O-on the brooklyn side?

Yes, uh, I know the location.

- in a half hour, then?
- sure.

Could you give me a description
Of the car,

I mean, the one you'’ll be using?

1972 dark blue continental.

Okay, mr. Farrow,
I'’ll see you.

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall.

Okay.

We'’re meeting in brooklyn.

All right,
Enough is enough, huh?

Relax, will ya.

There, that'’s got it.

Theo, maybe you should
Take some troops.

Could be a setup.

"Take some troops, theo.
Could be a setup."

Do I look like a hero?

You know what happens
If I turn up with anybody?

You know what I get
From this farrow?

Zilch.
Name, rank, serial number.

- and if you come alone?
- yeah, well, he may unload.

Happy holidays.

Bobby,

Wanna take a nice ride
In the country?

Come on.

Hey, weaver.

It'’s farrow.

You know who'’s his own man,
Hmm?

Nobody.

Now, let'’s face it,
Who wants to be a nobody?

And I love you.

Amended sentence.

As much as
You can love anybody.

Who do you think the people
In vegas

First suggested getting rid of,
Huh?

All I ever asked for
Was the truth.

If it bothers you that much,
Don'’t watch.

What happened was,
He was crying.

That'’s him.

Stop!

Stop!

Let'’s get outta here.

Farrow'’s had it.

Look out!
He'’s coming back!

Ahh!

Help! Help!

I can'’t swim!

Okay, sweetheart,
Take me to your leader.

No way!

All right.
Stay a mermaid.

You all right?

What do you mean,
Am I all right?

I don'’t remember
Requesting any interference.

We were just cruising.

This is total coincidence.

Yeah, sure.
Tell me about it.

There'’s some debris
Floating in the river.

Would you fish it out

Before it pollutes
The entire eastern seaboard.

Look, frank,
You wanna do me a favor?

Yeah.

Call forensics,
The medical examiner.

Would you get '’em down here
And do the whole number?

Is there something coming down
That I don'’t know about?

Yeah. The mermaid.

I'’m gonna fish him out
For a singing lesson.

Funny thing.

- I wonder why he did it.
- did what?

He tried to warn me.

He probably saved my life.
