Anyway, it isn't the Half million dollars.

What am I going to tell her?

Get me a pair of shoes Out of the closet.

One shot through the Temple, close range.

You said this was kept in The bedroom, mr. Howard?

Yes, it's part of a set For the fireplace in there.

He, uh, must have picked It up and come in here

When he heard the intruder.

You see, his gun, That would have been

In the top desk drawer where I suppose the burglar could

Have found it.

It was, uh, a beretta, I Believe, a .25 caliber.

We find the Gun yet, robert?

Not yet, but we found A slug over here.

A slug?

Hardly dug itself in at all, And the force was pretty spent,

I guess. Looks like a .25, all right.

How about the bedroom, The rest of the house?

- anything missing? - nothing else broken into.

Just the french Doors, the desk, and

That curio cabinet over there.

It's got a bunch of, uh, African things in it.

Looks like the victim came In before anything was taken.

Why don't we Just start with tomorrow,

And go through the month day by Day, looking at the conjunction

Of each planet.

Oh, excuse me.

A few months ago about Locking up the house

Tighter when they were away.

$600, expenses.

And how many times?

Twice, I think.

It was supposed to go On a regular basis.

It's $500 weekly.

It's like a retainer until I get things worked out.

We're going to keep That retainer going,

Aren't we, mr. Howard?

I mean, if mrs. Seymour's Going to be staying here,

I should have Security checked out.

Don't you agree?

Kojak, if there's any way, Anything I can do to help,

Just ask.

Being a private detective, it Isn't like it is in the movies.

I miss the force, pal.

Um-hum.

You took the payoffs, baby.

And if those are blood stains On your pants, get rid of them.

And that's worth $500 more.

Well, scheinblum confirms Powder burns on his right hand.

So we could figure he Struggled for the gun.

It went off by accident.

No, he wasn't a strong Mane anymore, frank.

Anybody could have wrested That poker from him.

They didn't have to kill him.

Unless, of course, this certain Somebody was afraid of being

Recognized and had to kill him.

Like who?

The fact is, anybody that would Know him would also know there

Really wasn't much Worth stealing up

There, unless you're Desperate for a bunch

Of stuffed animal heads.

Yeah, well, maybe this Certain somebody has something

Else in mind, you know?

Maybe picking up a legal Document or paper--

I don't know.

Maybe busting into This curio cabinet.

Maybe there's a cover-up For the real thing, huh?

Somebody with a bum leg?

Come again?

Look at these heel marks On this plastic cast.

Oh, yeah.

The right side worn Down like he had a gimp.

Didn't the doctors say Seymour had a bad leg?

They're from a roll of film They found in seymour's pocket.

Uh-uh, lookee here.

The victim's widow and Her business manager.

The lab says from The compression,

Well, mrs. Tyburn, I've got to Have that run on the computer

By tomorrow at the latest.

I've got two clients coming in.

Yeah, the capricorn and the leo.

Uh, listen, sherry, I would Never give you a stall,

But I got this new client From a dating service.

He needs a whole New program run.

Mrs. Tyburn, you put files 202 and 103 into that machine,

And don't tell me Somebody else's problems.

I want those projections Delivered tomorrow.

Now what's that matter with you?

Nothing's the matter with me.

I got to use the phone.

Well, did you get the money?

Yeah, here.

It just occurred to me, I left A roll of film at seymour's.

The one I took at the cafe.

Hello, photo lab?

This is detective cleary Of manhattan south.

Look, on that seymour case, did They run that film through yet?

I see.

Ok.

No, no, nobody told me.

Ok, thank you.

Ray, do we have trouble?

No.

No, no.

No, why should there be trouble?

It's howard holding Hands with mrs. Seymour.

For them, it's trouble.

And for us, boy gets the exacta.

Sherry, look at this.

Howard handed me this gun.

It's got his fingerprints On it, all right?

And without-- without this note.

Sherry, how would you like To be on a beach in brazil

In about a week?

I've got that snotty Little business

Manager's head in a noose.

He's got to pay through the Teeth for me to save his skin.

Not $10,000.

Sherry, that's 100 big Ones for the suicide note.

How does that grab you?

Why brazil?

Why not paris?

Paris, all right, Whatever you want.

$100,000, now that's Not bad, is it?

Bad?

Well, it doesn't make You onassis, honey,

But it's not bad.

Don't you think it's Very odd that an intruder

Should wear a dead man's shoes?

Well, the intruder, So to speak,

Obviously didn't want To leave an impression

From his own shoes.

If, that is, he really Was an intruder.

Now, uh, did any of You notice anything

Weird with those photos That forensic took?

Seymour's bedroom.

So?

So I was looking at 'em five minutes ago,

And those little questions Came into my mind.

Little wee ones.

Now how tall was seymour?

6' 1", 6' 2"?

Yeah, so what about it?

So what about it.

Well, we got a wall here With lots of pictures

And a couple of mirrors.

Now there's one mirror Here that's about 5 foot

3 inches off the ground.

Now how would you like to comb Your curly locks like this?

Uh!

Anybody look behind the mirror?

So let's go.

So, uh, let's go.

Saperstein's bringing Mrs. Seymour over here,

And howard should Be here any minute.

There's the bullet hole.

Um-hum, yeah.

So, the victim and howard, They get in an argument

Over mrs. Seymour in here.

Howard and seymour grapple For the gun, he kills him.

Um-hum.

Well, this is the Same kind of rug

That the body was Found on in the den.

How come?

If he was killed in here, Howard drags him into the study.

Oh, because if he was killed Way over there by the bed,

It wouldn't look like he Walked in on an intruder.

You see? Crocker!

- yeah? - go get a warrant.

A search warrant for Howard's apartment.

You, follow me.

The only thing I'm worried about

Is that miller Girl who was having

A reading when I came home.

She's here right now.

I owed her some time From that night.

She just walked in on me.

Did you Tell her we were leaving?

Yes, I'm trying to Make it clear to her.

Anything wrong, detective?

Sorry, can't talk about it.

If I'm not at manhattan south, You fine me at this number.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

You're a perfect Scorpio, elaine.

Easy to anger, Passionate in love.

Don't humor me.

I'm bugged.

Oh, come on.

You can't quit on me, not After what happened between me

And jerry last night.

You can't dump me with this Animal and no guidance.

Elaine, we're leaving, moving.

You set me up for more money.

You know I wouldn't do that.

How can you--

Oh, no?

I could go to the Better business bureau.

You got a license for this?

What about the irs, sherry?

You report this income?

So you just think it over, hmm?

Oh, elaine.

Elaine!

And you have no idea Who took these pictures?

Well, I suppose jack Could have taken them,

But they have no significance, Certainly nothing suggestive.

My god, what's going on?

What are you all getting at?

Lieutenant?

Forgot to tell you Something the other day.

I was here after the killing.

I noticed the rug Under the victim,

And it wasn't in the study When I was here before.

So I did a little Checking on mr. Howard,

And I found these At his cleaners.

Put a couple of pins on the Spots that look like blood.

Tony, what is this Man talking about?

I, uh, I-- I knelt over The body, lieutenant.

Of course there could Be blood on my pants.

Up here along the waist?

I figured he got the Spots when he picked

Up the rug with the body and--

All right, shut up, kaufman.

Don't talk in front of them.

Kojak.

Yeah, lieutenant crocker.

We're over here at howard's, and I've got some goodies for you.

We've got the shoes and more Pictures of howard and mrs.

Seymour, and a .

25 beretta, which I'll run To ballistics right now, ok?

Yeah.

You couldn't tell where I could Find a pair of mr. Seymour's

Shoes and the gun, would you?

Well, no, of course not.

How-- how could we know that?

Because they were just found In mr. Howard's apartment.

Stavros, read him his rights.

Yes.

Tony, I just don't Understand any of this.

You have a right To remain silent.

If you choose to give up That right, anything you say

Will be held against you.

You have a right to an attorney.

He may be presnet--

No, wait a minute.

I'm not going to Hide this anymore.

Stavros.

Janet, jack committed suicide.

No.

No.

And this man was in the House at the time, lieutenant.

He got to the bedroom Right after I did.

He took those pictures for jack.

When I told him janet would be Cheated out of the insurance

Because it was suicide, He came up with the idea

To make it look like a killing.

So we carried jack's body Into the study, together.

And then I came down Here to be with you,

And he arranged everything else.

Took the gun, the shoes, Yes, and jack's suicide

Note with him after He faked the break-in.

Ok, I took pictures For mr. Seymour.

You don't like me For that, do you?

You trying to do a job on me?

Right?

Lieutenant, at the time of the Murder I was home with my wife.

That's not true.

You were right here.

I payed you $10,000 Today for your help!

Mr. Howard, you have a Record of that transaction?

No, I-- I went to a lot of Trouble not to have any record.

Mrs. Seymour, did you see Mr. Kaufman in the house?

No.

I don't know how You did it, but you

Put that gun and those Shoes in my apartment.

You told me to take those Pants to the cleaners.

Now what did you do with Jack's suicide note?

Boy, oh, boy.

Cops, private detectives.

Somebody's always trying To turn us into fall guys.

Yes, I took pictures Of these two.

No, I never heard of a Suicide note, no $10,000,

No phony story about carrying No body from room to room.

And if you keep Talking like that,

I'm going to see you in court.

Mr. Howard, I'm afraid you'll Have to come down with us

To make a further statement.

But whatever tony said, I-- I mean, he wouldn't lie,

Lieutenant.

It has to be the truth.

I'm sorry, mrs. Seymour.

That may not be up To me to decide.

Well then, who?

A jury.

Oh, thank you.

They're just taking a Statement from your husband,

Mrs. Kaufman.

They shouldn't be Too much longer.

You do horoscopes?

You get a chance some day, give Me the details of your birth.

I have it run Through a computer.

Oh, of course, I have to Interpret the print outs.

It's just raw data on the Planets, their conjunctions.

So with your clients you Do that from 8:00 to 10:00

Every night, right?

To find a suicide note, Who will be happy to accept

A reward of $100,000.

And what did he say?

Off the hook without it, huh?

And in our second house, Our house of money,

We are going to make a killing.

Immediately, tell them you Suspect it's mrs. Kaufman.

But you said that she'd Destroy that note if there was

Any indication of the trail.

I mean, can we risk that?

It's the only chance I Have of clearing myself.

I feel like such a fool.

Tony, I think you did Make a terrible mistake,

But I understand why.

You did it for me.

Look, mr. Myerberg, There are certain stocks

That we can sell.

Going in?

I liked him.

One of the best, I thought.

A good detective, that he Was, but he gave it all away.

And what he gave away Was gold, this badge.

Sure, an ex-detective digging Bullets out, switching

Them around, all that stuff.

I can buy that in a second.

But howard, what does he know?

He's a glorified accountant.

Where would he learn it?

I think howard's telling The truth, frank.

I think that Kaufman's in on this,

But I haven't got the Faintest idea how to prove it.

Ah!

Ow!

Lieutenant!

Here, impeccably typed, is Mrs. Kaufman's testimony to me

And a statement from The janitor that he

Saw no one go in or Out last wednesday,

Not one astrology client.

On wednesday.

That's why he Didn't see anybody.

What's this impeccably Type notation?

"Rent-a-comp?"

Well, this mrs. Kaufman's A very businesslike lady.

She has a computer company Work out the basic monthly

Projections for her clients.

I owed her this one.

You didn't owe Her a damned thing.

Call the police.

Here she is, lieutenant.

We picked her up at Kennedy airport waiting

To board a paris flight.

Look at what I found.

Sit down, mrs. Kaufman.

You've got nothing on me.

I haven't done anything.

Oh?

You know, I remember the first Day that ray reported to me.

12 years on the force and He finally made detective.

I never saw anybody so excited.

You know, except For the hairline,

And look who's talking.

He was just like A-- a rookie fresh

Out of the police academy.

Lieutenant--

Shut up, mrs. Kaufman!

And you hear me out.

Nobody gave more to the force Than your husband, nobody.

I remember years Later, he'd be sitting

All alone when he thought Nobody was looking at him.

And there he'd be with that Badge in his hand, the gold.

Couldn't believe it.

And all of a sudden, out of The blue, he turned rotten,

And I've often wondered How a guy like ray kaufman

Could turn bad, a guy Who betrayed a badge he

Loved more than his own life.

You want to know Something, mrs. Kaufman?

I think I'm looking at The answer right now.

Stavros!

Book her.

Fraud, extortion, Accessory to homicide.

And I should make It two homicides.

Two?

Your husband, mrs. Kaufman!

Let's go, lady.
