Well, at least we ain'’t gonna
Have a couple inches of rain

To swim around in,
Huh, teechan?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, teechan,

How come I can hear myself talk
All the time,

And you never do, huh?

Why'’s that?

I ain'’t used to partners,

And I'’m watching.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, there she is now.

This yanni individual,

When was the last time
You saw him, ms. Kastos?

Last summer in athens.

Please, mr. Keiler,
Don'’t worry.

We were very close.

There'’s no way
I'’m gonna miss him.

Maybe he slipped off,
Something like that.

Mr. Harris has a point.

Look,
He'’s taking his time.

After three months at sea,
What'’s another 30 minutes?

I'’ll go in now.

Please don'’t worry.

You ask me, I got one
Weird job for a harvard lawyer.

Don'’t complain, harris.
You could'’ve gone to yale.

Your last port of call?

Uh, we mixed up in turkey,
Spain, and casablanca.

I didn'’t get off the boat
Since greece.

Something'’s wrong?

Turn out your pockets,
Please.

Okay.

- hello, yanni.
- hey.

I'’ve got some people
With a car outside.

You do have it with you?

Of course.
Just like I said I would.

Come on.

That'’s the signal, man.
Get ready.

What'’s the matter?

My ankle.
Oh.

What'’s the matter?

All right, come on.
Go. Come on!

Hey, come on.
Come on, will you?

Come on.

Can you see, harris?

Can you see anything at all?

One eye, yeah,
But it'’s tough.

Get us out of here,
And in a hurry.

Okay, I'’m listening.

All right, there'’s a greek
Freighter that just pulled in

Over here tonight--
A slow boat to nowhere.

This guy, yanni psalidas--

That'’s "P-s-a--"

He was the passenger
On the s.S. "Piranha."

That'’s piraeus,crocker.

It'’s a port, not a fish.

Yeah, well, anyway,

The witnesses saw a man
Get hit by a car.

He gets out of the car,
A few seconds later,

"Bang," one shot,

And the guy'’s
Out of his misery for good,

And we have no decent I.D.
On the gunman.

Means of death is one shot
Through the heart.

His means of livelihood may be
A bit more interesting to you.

Our man'’s got
Ten bald fingers--

Acid.

Yanni psalidas.

How come the boat stops here?

Lieutenant,
There was a girl that pulled up

In a limousine and met him.

We have a so-so
Identification on her.

She has black hair, dark glasses
At midnight, right?

And they said that
She had a good shape.

She wears a size 7b shoe.

Now, when the
Limo pulled away,

The witnesses saw two letters
On the license plate--b-l.

And that'’s all.

Okay, crocker, look,

You'’re prince charming,
So you go find cinderella

With the--
Well, you know the story.

- here.
- yeah, right.

See how easy it all is?
Huh?

Lieutenant,
Blue car, impala maybe,

A couple of years old,
That clipped him.

It was two guys,
And a girl got in with them,

A pretty girl.

She met him inside
At the customs office,

The--the victim.

Yeah, okay.

The girl that hops
From car to car,

See if you can'’t work out
A composite on her.

And those license plates,
B-l--

- come on, you know what to do.
- yes, sir.

I got another interesting fact
For you, lieutenant.

Look at his eyes.

They'’re bloodshot.
The eyelids are swollen.

Looks like tear-gas symptoms.

- mace.
- mace?

This is one hell of a cinderella
You got me looking for.

The guys perfect,
Except that he'’s dead.

Well, he'’s almost perfect.

His pants a couple
Inches too big.

Hey, lieutenant, you spend
Three months on a freighter,

You'’re gonna drop 10 pounds.

Hey, crocker,
You stand this guy up,

And he drops his pants.

No suspenders.
Where'’s his belt?

I don'’t know
Where his belt is.

Maybe it slipped off the dresser
In his stateroom.

Then find it.

Find it. Find it.

One can of mace,
One blue impala,

One foot with suspect attached,
One belt.

All right, I want you to talk
To everybody that he talked to

Aboard that ship, okay?

Three and a half months at sea

With those bald little fingers
Of his--who knows?

Maybe he'’s cooling off,

Or maybe
He'’s just hiding out,

And then I want you to call
The athens police

And interpol.

See if they got
Anything on him.

Any jobs he might'’ve pulled
Lately, okay?

Maybe diamonds.

Diamonds?

Why diamonds?

Well, what else goes into
A belt that'’s worth a life?

Go ahead.

A man gets shot and killed
Right in front of us,

I get practically blinded,
And we don'’t go to the police?

Well, you saw nothing
In any case, harris,

And on the other hand,

Well, I saw
Practically nothing,

Really very little myself.

I think we should tell
Everything to the police,

Especially you.

You must be furious.

We go through
All that trouble.

You practically get
The crazy thing

In your possession.

Well, if we go to the police,

Then she will never
Come back to us.

It is quite obvious
That this young greek de milo

Has hot blood, and a trojan
Appetite for treasure.

That lady
Double-crossed you!

Yeah.

Here, eye drops.

Shall I put
These in for you?

No, I think I'’d better.

I think ms. Kastos
Will contact me again

With some outrageous new offer.

She would, wouldn'’t she?

Nobody pays more than I do,
Nobody in the entire world.

She would know that,
Don'’t you think?

I don'’t understand.

Why didn'’t she just raise
The agreed on price to you?

Why go through
All that trouble?

Because greed inspired
That young woman

To eliminate her partner
And/or her lover,

Thereby doubling
Her profits.

What an exciting new piece
Of history

To add to all the other legends,
And I actually saw it.

Someone'’s working
Some weird angle here.

Someone else is in
On the act with her.

I think you'’re in
For a bad surprise.

Well, I don'’t like
Bad surprises, harris.

In my business, maybe,

But in my hobby, never.

Oh, no.

We will match
Every offer that is made,

And then we will give
An extra 15%.

But that could come
To $300,000.

So?

Look, callis,
I paid you $5,000 to protect me.

That'’s right,

And fein paid me
Another $5,000.

So that means something in there
Is worth a lot more

Than 10 grand.

Hey, here.

You find it.
I can'’t.

Nothing.

You can do this to me
Because I'’m a woman, huh?

Is that why?

Is it?

You know, that guy yanni
Was no fool.

He lied to you
About hiding it in the belt.

It'’s still on him.

Now, come on, lady...

- what is it?
- I don'’t know.

- who is it?
- fein.

What is this?

Who did that?

- she did it.
- liar.

Look, mr. Fein,
They'’ve been paid.

Why don'’t you just
Ask them to leave?

We have to talk.

Yanni has cheated us.

He has?

Yes.

I understand.

Listen,
I have $28,000 in here.

It represents all the cash
I have in the world.

I brought it
For you two gentlemen.

You'’re kiddin'.

I'’ll take what's left
Of the belt

To settle certain accounts.

You'’ll kill the girl, yes?

Yeah, okay.

What are you doing?

That'’s my money, isn't it?

You too, huh?

Well, if it turns up,
You let me know, okay?

Right, thanks.

- lieutenant?
- yeah.

There'’s a '69 blue impala
On a hot sheet.

It was stolen a couple
Of days ago in midtown.

I told '’em to put it
At the top of the list,

And in case they pop it,
To hold it

So we can check it out.

What about the limousine?

Well, I got a printout
Of all the black lincolns,

Caddies,
Mercedes,

All with licenses
Starting with b-l.

There'’s 15 of 'em.

A judge,
A couple of big-time lawyers,

Three millionaires--

And so far, none of '’em say
They were anywhere near

The docks last night.

All right, you make
The rest of the calls,

And then you call me.

Where'’s crocker?

He'’s trying to run down
A source for mace.

It'’s not exactly your
Countertop item around here.

Canterbury pumproom shoes,
Model 2230,

200, size 7--
What is that, "B"?

- yeah.
- shipped last month.

Who'’s on this?

Saperstein.

It'’s a chain store.

He'’s running through
Their master receipts.

Oh, the captain'’s
Looking for you.

We got a hot twitch
From interpol.

Description your victim,
Psalidas,

Matches missing suspect
Rudy baring.

There'’s a novel on that guy
In this one cable.

Burnt his prints off
The first time with battery acid

While being held as a suspect
In casablanca.

- tangiers.
- oh, tangiers.

No known accomplice.

Prefers the company of women.

Hey, frank,
That could be me.

Yeah, well, anyway,

They'’re crazy for his body,
Dead or alive.

They want us to ship
His corpse back

Complete with all belongings.

Who does?

The greek police.
Here...

"Suspect lived
In greece for a year.

Wanted for suspicion
Of car theft!"

You mean we'’re giving
Top priority to a car thief?

Come on, the greek'’s got
A word for that--baloney.

Yeah.

Probably had a solid-gold car
In his belt.

Or maybe it was just
A solid-gold buckle.

Hey, look,
Make it platinum.

What'’s it worth
On the outside--$1,000?

Oh, no.

You know, maybe he stole
Some military secrets,

And the greek government
Is too embarrassed

To tell us about it.

Maybe he stole the recipe
To that awful greek wine.

They'’re afraid the world
Will find out

What they put in it.

Well, anyway,
He'’d get more for it here

Than he could over there.

Well, then
It could'’ve been a hamburger.

Have you seen the prices
Next door?

Come on,
Will you, frank?

Why aren'’t we taking
This seriously?

The murder I take seriously,

But this part
About the belt, well...

Greek steamer
In the middle of the night,

Rain, a beautiful girl loses
A red and tan shoe.

We got the maltese falcon
In here somewhere.

I mean, maybe the guy
Was heading to the five-and-ten

To buy himself
A belt first thing.

He could'’ve dropped it
Overboard, or it broke.

Is that so impossible?

- yes.
- why?

Because the custom inspector
Saw it

When he turned out his pockets.

Oh, you really sandbagged me
On that one.

All right.

So what does go into a belt

That you want to bring
Into the states?

That the athens police
Don'’t want to tell us about,

That you get killed for?

Yeah?

Captain.

Lieutenant,
Some time this morning,

A porter at the woodsley hotel
Finds two bodies--

One male, one female,
Both of them shot.

Okay, get macon and reilly.

They'’re at the top
Of the charts.

Well, the female was
In her stocking feet,

And they found
One red and tan shoe.

Good morning, mr. Fein.

Morning, nancy.

Oh, uh, mr. Fein,
About my commission

On the saint-guadens--

I beg your indulgence,
Carter.

One more day,
And we'’ll settle everything.

Well, I wouldn'’t ask,
But I need to have some--

- coffee, mr. Fein?
- no, thank you.

And no interruptions, please,
Not till I buzz you.

Oh, sure. You do me a lot
Of favors, lenny.

What the hell does a house dick
Do around here--clean the johns?

Look at this.

Yeah, lieutenant,
What do you want from me?

She a steady around here?

Oh, no, no.
Not for years,

Not since she got up
In the world.

We used to call her
"The milo."

It was kind of a trade name,
You know?

They all got something,
But "The milo" was the only one

I ever knew who really lived up
To the natural expectation.

She was only 16
When I knew her.

She didn'’t recognize me
Downstairs, but I knew her.

Oh, that'’s nice.

What'’d you call her--
"The milo"?

Well, most people
Pronounced it "Milo."

She pronounced it "Me-lo,"

But her real name
Is elaine kastos.

I see.
What about the guy?

There were two of '’em.

Edward teechan--
That'’s who we got here.

Okay, look, let'’s go down,
Look at some pictures, huh?

Maybe down there we'’ll find out
Who knew more about the milo.

Why don'’t you try
Betsy vellon?

Betsy vellon?
She never went to nevada?

Look, lieutenant,
All I know is that

Betsy vellon took her
Off the street

And gave her some class

And then took her commission--

50%.

- 50%? Ah.
- mm.

That'’s a bargain
Compared to this, right?

Yeah.

Brother and sister...

Reunited at last.

Was there ever
Such a pair of twins?

Harry, you'’re a genius for
What you'’re about to do next.

Nancy,
Get me henry keiler.

I happen to be
A night person,

And I don'’t like getting up
Before 3:00, lieutenant.

Lieutenant?
Betsy, it'’s me, theo.

Yeah, 3:00.

Milo kastos...

One of your star attractions?

I mean, one of your aces
In the hole, betsy?

Well, for a while.

You know, they move on,
Find a man.

No, no.
No man for milo kastos.

You should'’ve taken her
To nevada.

The odds are better.
She'’s dead now.

Somebody killed her?

Nice kid like that.

What did you do,
Introduce her to somebody

With a .38 caliber
For a libido?

Elaine was a very dear person
To me at one time.

We, uh, do form
Our attachments,

Odd as it might seem to you,
Lieutenant.

Mm-hmm.

Eh, nice kid like her,

You know, we don'’t get
Too many walking the streets

Like that anymore.

You know what I'’m thinking?

I'’m thinking this whole town
Went down the tubes

When joe dimaggio
Quit the yankees.

Have you ever noticed,
Lieutenant,

That besides having
A very bald head,

You have a very large nose?

Oh, all right.

How about my big baby browns?

Guess when they see
A fresco on a postcard

From the athens museum,
They want to turn it around,

Because my hands
Go all kinds of funny.

I'’m going blind,

And it says,
"We'’ll see you in the fall.

Love, elaine."

Who'’s "We," betsy?

"We"?
Oh, well.

You know, I never knew.

All I know is that
Elaine came back alone

A couple of months ago.

Mm, elaine
In the athens museum--

That don'’t figure.

You know?
Who would'’ve thunk it?

You don'’t mind
If I keep the card, do you?

Thanks.

Please call back.
I'’m busy.

Hold it.

I'’m looking
For lieutenant kojak.

So, suddenly
I'’m a telephone operator.

Oh, excuse me.
Yeah?

I was down at danzinger'’s,
The police supply company,

And there was a guy
In there last week,

Said he was on the force
In cleveland,

And he was checking
On different brands of mace

And then decided
Not to buy any.

So?

Well, they found one missing
As soon as he left.

Would you believe the guy lifted
One right under their noses?

Anyhow, I have the other cans
That he was looking at,

And we lifted
A clean set of prints.

Fbi knows him
As raymond callis.

B.C.I.'’s digging out
His record for us now.

Hey, lieutenant,
This guy'’s a gunslinger.

Okay, I'’ll be right back.

- betsy.
- hmm?

Raymond callis.

Well?

Yeah, raymond callis.
So? What about him?

He comes here sometimes.

Oh, yeah?
That figures.

So she met him here.

Hey, look, you'’re a nice kid,
All right?

The next time he comes here,
You pick up that phone

And call me right away,
You understand?

This is a bad,
Bad, bad person.

I don'’t want you
Protecting him, okay?

Mm-hmm.

I like that.

"Pull a yellow sheet
On edgar allan poe."

Is that actually
What you just said to me?

That'’s right, frank.

The first master
Of the detective story.

the gold-bug,

the purloined letter--
You remember that one?

Is the raven in that one?

No, frank.

This was a letter out
In the open with the vital clue.

Frank...

It'’s right there
In front of you.

- I read it.
- no.

In the belt--you ready?

A stamp.

Could be.

Then why does yanni psalidas

Bother to smuggle it
Into the states?

Uh-huh.

Because someone over here
Is nuts enough

To pay more for it
Than anybody else in the world,

And he knows it.

Well, it'’s a theory.

That'’s not what I told
The athens police.

I told '’em
I knew it was a stamp,

And I told '’em to gather
All the information they could

On this psalidas'’
Recent escapades.

You know, that is the most
Staggering example

Of conclusion-jumping
I'’ve ever heard of.

You can'’t be sure
It'’s a stamp.

Wrong.

Look, on this list,

15 known limos
That could'’ve been

In the area
Of psalidas'’ murder,

And this mr. Henry keiler
Told inspector stavros

That it'’s none of his business
Where he was last night.

So?

So henry keiler is listed
In who'’s who in america

As owning the largest private
Collection of...

- postage stamps.
- voila.

Now, if you don'’t see
The connection, frank...

I suggest you brush up
On your edgar allan poe.

Lenny karpf was in here
And made a tentative I.D.

Of raymond avery callis

As the man who walked
Into the woodsley

With teechan
And elaine kastos.

All right,
You put out an alarm on callis,

And, crocker,
Call the property recovery unit,

The art section squad.

Ask them for names of dealers
They think would buy

A stolen stamp
For a lot of bread.

- a postage stamp?
- yeah.

Then I want '’em staked out.

What are we looking for?

Raymond avery callis.

You got a short memory.

Anybody wants me, I'’m gonna be
With mr. Henry w. Keiler.

I don'’t like anybody being rude
To my men on the telephone.

Hey, babe.
I'’m at the airport.

Why aren'’t you here?

Ray...

The police were just here.

Look, they know about you.

I'’m scared to leave.

I'’m scared
They'’re gonna follow me.

How can I know?

How'’d they get onto me?

I don'’t know,

But look, ray, I had to tell
Them that you knew elaine,

Because they'’re gonna
Ask the other girls,

And they'’re gonna
Find out anyway,

And look, ray, I can'’t afford
To get caught in a lie, not now,

Especially not now
That she'’s dead.

I'’m standing here
With two tickets in my pocket

And $38,000 in my bag,
And I got to listen to this?

There'’s nobody
That can prove nothin'’.

There'’s nobody left but us.

$38,000?

Well, what was it, ray?

What--what was in the belt?

Nothing.
It'’s a long story.

I come out
Way ahead anyway.

Hey, look, fein'’s the only guy
That can put the finger on me,

And to do that,
He'’s got to nail himself.

So?

So suppose the cops
Get to fein.

Look, ray, I'’m scared.
They'’re busting this case.

Suppose they make a deal
With fein to get to you.

Oh, that'’s terrific.

That'’s--that's a real wonderful
Thought you got there.

Look, ray,
I run away with you,

Fein shoots off his mouth,
The cops come after us.

Look, all my life

I have been one step ahead
Of the cops.

I should never have done it.

I should never have put
You and elaine together.

I--oh, god,
I should'’ve stayed out of this.

All right.

I'’ll take care of it.
Don'’t get in a sweat, huh?

Flight 31 now arriving

At kennedy airport at 9:07.

Flight six now boarding
At gate seven.

I made it explicitly clear
In my call

That I wanted mr. Keiler here
In person.

Mr. Fein, I have handled
Acquisitions for my client

All over the world.

He trusts me implicitly.

This is not
A normal acquisition.

As I understand.

The stamp is not officially
On the market.

It'’s stolen property.

It is officially in the safe
Of a prominent greek diplomat.

It is not reported stolen,
Nor will it be

For certain complex
Political reasons.

Nonetheless,
It must be privately owned

With no public announcement.

Consequently, its value
Must be considerably below

Its market value.

No, mr. Harris.

I put every cent of capital
I have in the world

Into this particular deal,
And I assure you,

I intend to make
An enormous profit.

Mr. Fein, I don'’t even know
If you really have the stamp.

You have them both...

The brother and the sister.

I thought tanoka
Had the brother in japan.

Tanoka sold to me
Privately last year.

Both stamps
In one man'’s hands.

They haven'’t been together
In more than a century.

$500,000, the pair.

$1 million even.

Nonsense.

A million is way
Out of line,

Especially since the stolen
System makes the entire deal

Illegal in the first place.

Mr. Harris...

When you bring
Mr. Keiler here to me,

I have a way of making the deal
Perfectly legal.

He'’ll walk out of here
With a possession

Unique in the world,

And one which he can display
Publicly anyplace,

And he'’ll be delighted
To pay a million for it.

So, until I see him sitting
In that chair over there,

I see no reason
For further explanation.

Now, please
Deliver my message.

Yes?

Uh, lieutenant kojak...

To see mr. Keiler,
Manhattan south and all that.

Mr. Keiler,

There'’s a lieutenant kojak
Here to see you.

Hark.

Relax.

Fantastic.

Mr. Keiler,
I'’m lieutenant kojak.

Oh, yes, sir.

I'’m just arranging a few things
In response to your call.

Oh, dear.

My hands shake,
So it'’s difficult.

Well,
Let'’s not waste any time.

I'’ll get right to the point.

Waste time?

How can one waste time
In this field, sir?

Time is frozen here...

Frozen in tiny moments
Of history.

Here, come round.

Let me show you.

Here, look at this--
This group.

Flying upside down
In perfect formation

For all time.

- beautiful?
- mm-hmm.

Now, look at this.

This is the elba wafer--

A round stamp printed
By napoleon during his exile.

It'’s one of only three
Of its kind known to exist

In the entire world.

You'’re kiddin'.

How much is that worth,
Mr. Keiler?

Oh, why must everything
Be put in monetary values?

Look at this, sir.

Please look and dream.

An emperor,
Napoleon himself,

Designed that stamp.

He sat on a high cliff
Over the mediterranean

Contemplating
Egypt and moscow,

Planning his return
To france,

Remembering
His lovely josephine

With this one fragile,
Invaluable gesture.

Yeah.

But in dollars and cents,
I'’m still crass enough

To ask, mr. Keiler.

Oh, very well.

I am told that this stamp sold
In 1867 for $12,000.

Oh, and there were
Two men killed.

They were brothers.

They were transporting
The stamp to philadelphia,

For the centennial of 1876.

Now, of course,
Enhanced by this legend,

The stamp reappeared
Again in 1907.

It went then for $27,000.

I'’ve recently been offered
As much as $205,000,

And yet, never would I sell.

Never.

I buy, lieutenant.

I never sell.

So the more violent
Its history...

The more its value.

So murder--
That'’s an enhancement, right?

I suppose
You might call it that.

Rather a policeman'’s nightmare,
Wouldn'’t you say?

And what might you pay
For a stamp recently stolen

In greece that'’s just inspired
Three murders, mr. Keiler?

One of which,
I think you may have witnessed

The other night near pier 15.

And what stamp
May that be, sir?

I was hoping
You'’d tell me.

You buy,
You don'’t sell,

And is there anybody
Who pays more than you?

- I doubt it.
- and so do I.

But as far as witnessing
Any crime is concerned,

Well, I don'’t know anything
About that at all.

Is there, um...
Is there anything else?

Oh, yeah.

Um...

You know, if anybody should
Approach you with stolen goods,

You know, a unique,
Valuable piece of gum paper,

I would expect
That you would contact me.

You know, receiving stolen goods
Is a crime, mr. Keiler.

And how could you show it
In respectable company anyway?

You still don'’t grasp
This passion, sir.

This philatomania.

Do you really think,

Where the elba stamp
Is concerned,

That I care who sees it
Besides myself?

Let me see.

I mean, what you'’re saying
Is that you'’ll spend a fortune

To sit here all alone

And gaze
At your stolen stamps, right?

And you get even more excited
If you find out it has

A whole trail
Of bloody history behind it,

That you might even
Cover up a killer

In order to get the stamp,

Maybe even pay to have somebody
Killed in order to get it.

Huh?

Candidly, yes.

I must confess
I'’ve always found most stamps

Much more meaningful
Than most people'’s lives,

And yet, kill someone?

Myself?
Never.

Uh-huh. Candidly, mr. Keiler,
I think your attitude--

It stinks.

I'’ll tell you something--

If I find out
You'’ve been holding out on me,

I'’m gonna come back here

And sneeze all over
Your melba wafer.

Open sesame.

Fantastic.

Harris, did you get it?

Did you get the sister?

No, mr. Keiler.

You'’re gonna go over there now,

Talk to him yourself.

He'’s got both of 'em.

Together?

The brother
And the sister.

$1 million.

$1 million?

No, that'’s too much
And too soon.

That'’s always
The danger, harris.

These things inevitably fall
Into the hands of the merchants.

Still, I, uh...

I suppose I must go,
Mustn'’t I?

Just to see them.

I can'’t stand it, frank,
This mayonnaise mogul.

There he is,
Sitting on his millions,

Gluing the little stamps
Into his little books.

You don'’t glue them
In and out of books.

That'’s one thing
You definitely don'’t do.

Mr. Nicholas julius...

I'’d like you to meet
Lieutenant kojak.

- lieutenant.
- how are you? Nice to see you.

Mr. Julius was rushed over
Here by the greek consul

About 20 minutes
After your last cable to athens.

I gather you haven'’t found
This stamp yet.

Well, why don'’t
You describe it

And save us
A lot of confusion?

Almost four months ago,
Lieutenant--

And as I'’ve told the captain,

We wish to keep this
Purely confidential--

A stamp was stolen
From the safe

Of an assistant commissioner
Of police.

In the first place,
It was misappropriated

From a political prisoner,

And in the second place,
It was very embarrassing,

As you can imagine.

Tell him what the stamp was.

Well, it'’s called
"The sister."

It'’s one of a pair.

There are only two
In the world.

Oh.

You know, I keep asking
This crass question--

How much does it cost?

About a quarter
Of a million.

However, in these times
Of economic recession,

It may be difficult
To fetch.

Oh, no, not for a man
Like mr. Keiler.

People start eating a lot
Of tuna fish and mayonnaise

When that steak starts
Jumping over the moon.

What about this list
From the art squad?

They brought in
Six known dealers--

High-class forgeries,
Stolen coins,

That sort of thing.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe keiler'’s doing
A "Razzle dazzle" job

With one of them.

Maybe pick up a link
Between him and callis.

May I see the list?

Hmm.

Harry fein.

Oh, yeah?
What about him?

I was asked by my government
Several months ago

To check him out.

We intercepted several letters
From him to the previous owner

Of the stamp,
Asking if it was for sale,

And I was told to tell him
That it wasn'’t for sale

And to make sure that he had
No idea that it had been stolen,

Which I don'’t think he did.

Harry fein expressing
An interest

In the quarter-million-dollar
Sister, right?

Huh.
Thank you, mr. Julius.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant.

There will be a lot of red faces
In athens if this gets out.

All righty.

Well, mr. Julius, I wouldn'’t
Care if the whole city of athens

Suffers from embarrassment.

I'’ve had three killings
In my precinct.

How do you think
That makes me feel?

May I offer you
A glass of wine, mr. Keiler?

Some sherry, perhaps?

I have a unique
1897 don castillo.

Forget the sherry, fein.

Let me see those stamps.

Mr. Harris told me
You wouldn'’t be interested.

I said, more correctly,
"Not for a million dollars."

Mr. Harris understands me
Quite well, sir.

Well, perhaps
I ought to put '’em back.

Stop putting on this act
At my expense, sir.

You know how perfectly well
I have to see those stamps.

Forgive me, but this is
Such a delicious moment for me.

You know how long I'’ve wanted
To bring these two together?

Not half as long as I.

Yes, but I did it,
And without your money...

By a great stroke of luck.

By saving,
Dealing this for that,

And waiting for just
The propitious moment.

And by killing?

Me?

I killed no one.

There was some intrigue.

I understand
Certain victims...

"Some intrigue"?

Oh, come, now.

Four months ago,
Ms. Kastos came to me.

Her greek boyfriend
Wanted to steal that stamp.

They needed a $10,000 advance

Against a $100,000
Purchase price,

And I gave it to them.

Later,
When it came time to deliver,

Ms. Kastos
Had changed her mind.

Now, sir,
That'’s a lot of intrigue.

Now, tell me,
How did you get into this?

I see no reason
To go into these details.

Well, I do.

We have no evidence.

We'’re not trying to prove
Something against you.

This is history.

You don'’t understand that,
Do you?

Money, not stamps,

That'’s what runs in your blood,
Isn'’t it?

Look here...

When I examine
Those two little specimens

That you have closeted
In that box on your desk,

I want to know everything--

Every divorce, death, escapade,
Murder, and theft,

Absolutely everything.

Those things, sir,

Are the lifeblood history
Of a stamp.

Now, come on,
Tell me what happened.

How did you get your hands
On the sister?

I think if you have
Any hope of a sale--

Well, if you think
This is so important,

Ms. Kastos heard of my interest
In this particular stamp

And asked for an appraisal.

I gave her one
And confirmed her worst fears.

$100,000 was far too low
A price.

Well, to make a long
Story short--

- must you?
- yes.

I want to get on with this.

I agreed to pay her
$200,000 for the stamp.

She supplied a man,
I supplied another,

And we took it
From her ex-boyfriend.

There were subsequent
Counterplays,

And I ended up
With the stamp,

And that'’s all
We have to go with.

These counterplays...

Tell me about them, please,
Will you?

Please?

Oh, I'’m sorry, sir,
But we'’re closing now.

- is there any particular--
- no, that'’s all right.

I'’m just waiting
For mr. Fein.

Very good.

Oh, gentlemen, I'’m sorry.
We'’re closing.

Yes, well,
I'’m lieutenant kojak,

Manhattan south.

This is detective crocker.

We came here to see mr. Fein,
If you don'’t mind.

Lieutenant, it'’s callis!

Lieutenant!

Hold it, callis.

All right, get out!

So I took a little
Transportation--big deal.

- you got the gun?
- no.

- all right, easy.
- um...

Let'’s see
Your driver'’s license.

I think, mr. Keiler,
The time has come.

Indeed.

The brother.

You see, harris?

The tiniest line
Running down the border...

Beautiful.

And the sister...

The one that has caused
All of the mischief.

Authentic, mr. Keiler?

The continuation of the line
Running down the border.

That'’s excellent, excellent,
Excellent condition.

Um...

$600,000, mr. Fein--

My one and only offer
For them both.

Possibly this pair of stamps

Is not unique enough to be worth
The million I ask.

After all, two paintings
Of the mona lisa

Would surely lessen
The value.

Why are we discussing
the mona lisa?

What are you doing?

Creating,
In a few seconds,

A single stamp

Worth a full million
By itself.

No!

The brother

Watches the sister
Transformed.

Ashes to ashes.

No.

Mr. Keiler...

You have at your fingertips

The single most valuable stamp
In the world.

It needs only you
To protect it

From a world
Of thoughtless businessmen.

Mr. Keiler?

Oh, he'’s with mr. Keiler,
Lieutenant.

He can'’t be disturbed.

Oh, with mr. Keiler, huh?

- what'’s all this?
- what'’s all this?

This, this, this
Is a raymond avery callis.

He'’s a prime suspect
In a number of recent murders.

- hey, you got to prove that.
- you shut up.

He was hired
By elaine kastos.

He'’s the one who bought the mace
That she used to set up yanni

Down at the docks.

He'’s also seen at one
Of your own galleries.

All very coincidental,
And you, sir,

Never saw him before.

- never.
- of course not.

How about you, mr. Keiler?
You were there.

You must'’ve seen something.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, excuse me.

How do you figure in this?

I drove the car
That night.

Let me tell the truth,
Mr. Keiler.

We saw nothing.

We were both blinded.

We left the scene,
But that'’s no great crime.

May we go on
With our business, lieutenant?

You seem to have reached
A dead end.

No.

No, I was not blinded.

I saw perfectly well
What happened.

Mr. Keiler,
If you want this stamp--

If I want this stamp, what?

Be silent?

I see no reason to go
Into the history of the stamp

For someone so lacking in
The appreciation of philately.

Philately, of course.

But mr. Keiler'’s already
Explained to me

That he finds stamps more
Significant than people'’s lives.

I hope you'’ve had second
Thoughts about that, sir.

Not about the lives
Of insignificant people.

I'’ve just witnessed

A hard, cruel death...

Foulest inconceivable murder...

An irreplaceable life--

His beloved sister.

Lieutenant, this mr. Callis--

I saw him kill mr. Psalidas
On the dock that night.

I saw him just as clearly
As I see you now, sir.

Hey, you'’re crazy.
This guy'’s crazy.

No.

If it hadn'’t started that way,
The sister would still be alive.

It'’s a long, convoluted
And violent story, sir.

You get me out of this, fein.
You get me a lawyer.

Why him, callis? I thought
You never saw him before.

You kidding?

He set up the whole thing.

You want him,
We make a deal.

You make a deal
With the d.A.'’s office.

Okay, fein, let'’s go.

No.

Crocker?

Excuse me.

You'’re not gonna change
Your mind, are you, mr. Keiler?

No more than I could replace
That stamp.

Now, this other one,
Lieutenant,

It must be cared
For most carefully.

The proper temperature
And humidity.

What'’s going to happen to it?

Oh, well...

We'’ll put it
In a little manila envelope

On a shelf in the police
Property department

Till we get this case
Sorted out.

Hey, look, if you want
To pick out the shelf,

You be my guest.

Uh, may I?
