Original subtitles

All right, What about here?

This access door To the wiring system.

Somebody could tuck A device down there,

And nobody would Ever notice it.

Well, that'’s east section.

The dogs are gonna go Through there, lieutenant.

Okay, so the dogs are Gonna go through there.

Then I want you and hacket To go through there after

The dogs go through There, okay?

Now, let'’s go. He gave us until 6:00.

It'’s 4:30 now.

- anything? - nothing so far.

Well, try them over in That section down there.

Right.

Barry, what'’s that behind That wall over there?

Looks like the heart Of the switching system.

Let'’s get an x-ray Unit up here.

I want to get some Shots of this.

Okay, crocker, you hop Out, check out the crowd.

Right, lieutenant, I'’ll get some photos.

You know, they can Have all the dogs,

Metal detectors, and Heat sensors they want,

But it takes a man like hacket To find a bomber like that.

Well, he'’s not just A bomber anymore.

Last week'’s explosion Makes him a murderer.

- janitor died? - yeah.

Fred craven, a freaky kid Who thought a novel way

To make money was to get a job.

What he didn'’t know is while

He'’s cleaning out These toilet bowls,

He should have been wearing An armored suit.

Excuse me, lieutenant.

Well, here are The x-ray shots.

Boy, we got ourselves A beauty all right.

Looks like an Ordinance textbook.

I'’d say about five sticks Of dynamite,

Detonator, batteries.

- what'’s this? - ah, that'’s the weenie.

From what I can see Of it inside the box,

In here I'’d say It'’s an induction coil.

- what'’s that thing do? - it'’s a magnetic device.

It trips when a metal toll Goes through the field, see?

Which is solved how?

With these, taped Surgical instruments.

What about an anti-disturbance Device?

You see anything there?

I don'’t.

Like a chess game.

He moves the pawn, You move the bishop.

He moves the Queen, you do too,

And in the meantime, this whole Damn city'’s in checkmate.

Well, this guy builds A pretty sharp bomb,

But we do a pretty good Job of taking them apart.

I better get cracking.

Lieutenant, you want to talk To michel hegue?

He led the demonstrations At the u.N.

During the algerian war.

He was arrested For arms possession.

Talk to anybody who has Anything to do with the bombs.

Well, I figured that.

That'’s why I've got him Waiting in your car, sir.

Very nice, crocker.

Give myself About 40 minutes.

I'’m introducing a knife Just below the top.

He'’s got it sealed with wax.

Seal'’s broken And gently prying it loose.

Check to see if there are

Any tripping wires connected To the top.

There are none.

The top is off.

I'’m starting to probe.

I'’m checking The timing mechanism.

It'’s right next To the dynamite.

There are three wires Leading from the clock

And mechanism...

To a series of detonators.

Just to the left of That--

Damn.

You all right?

Mrs. Dawson, this is detective Saperstein, manhattan south--

You have a pending contract on The generator, is that right?

Three bombs in three weeks,

And the best man in the whole Demolition squad

Can'’t handle it?

Where does that leave Us with the next one?

Frank, You want to see my brains

Scattered all over the floor?

Just keep asking Questions like that one.

Now, what the hell Does this bomber want?

He doesn'’t ask for money.

There'’s no cause He'’s screaming about.

Just getting his kicks

From proving he'’s smarter Than we are.

That attitude gets you Caught sooner or later.

Sooner or later, frank, It ain'’t good enough

Because five days from now,

We'’re gonna get another 24-hour Warning.

All right. All right. We got nothing off this.

No prints, nothing From the scotch tape.

Nothing off this. Nothing off that.

Why doesn'’t he Ask for a payoff?

They usually slip up on a Payoff, don'’t they, frank?

You know what The shrink says?

He wants attention,

Something he didn'’t get From his mother or his father.

Attention, theo, not money.

I don'’t suppose this is Some 14-year-old wiz kid

From the high school Of engineering?

No.

All right, I followed Up on michel hegue.

He lives in chicago for sure, But I was thinking,

Remember this guy, jeff coolie?

So?

So he was busted Two years ago

For possession of live grenades.

I was figuring, maybe There'’s something there,

I don'’t know.

I'’ve checked the list of all The people

Working in the plants, And the only person

That got fired lately was a Secretary.

So why couldn'’t It be a secretary?

That'’s liberation.

From you I Get secretaries,

From frank I get High-school kids,

And you come up With jeff coolie,

Some war surplus store freak Who goes around collecting

Shell casings and old pictures Of adolf hitler.

What happened to that name I tossed out last week?

Jason milner.

Milner.

Where do I know that name?

I picked him up a couple Of years ago along

With the sterdavan Brothers.

They were blowing up these loan Offices about four years ago.

Oh, yeah, sure.

He was the guy who said he Could blow the tumblers off

A safe without Chipping the paint.

Well, you can thank The army for that.

Here he is in ordinance Building booby traps

For our boys overseas, And let'’s face it, frank,

Did you ever go through The help wanted

And find an ad for a demolition Expert in booby traps?

Hey, if he'’s out already, He'’s got to be on parole.

I don'’t know About that, captain.

He was some sort of a Go-between

At those attica riots.

They gave him his Unconditional release.

I can'’t pick up His trail anywhere.

I think he must'’ve changed His name or something.

Hey, look, find out if he was Doing any studying in jail,

Okay, this milner?

You know, things like blowing Glass or computers, whatever.

I'’ll follow up On jeff coolie.

You know something, You do good work.

Thank you, sir.

Mm-hmm.

It'’s open.

Marge, honey, what are You doing down here?

Could I have a kiss, neil?

Sure.

Oh.

Just came back From seeing mrs. Hacket.

Yeah, I wanted To get over there,

But I--just no way I'’ll-- I'’ll get over there tomorrow.

Family was there,

Mother and her father,

And those two Small children.

Hey, honey, come on.

This world is crazy.

It'’s crazy there has to Be such a thing as a bomb squad.

Neil, what happens On the next bomb?

Well, I think we probably Found out quite a bit

On this last one.

It'’s just that there's got

To be an anti-disturbance device That we just--

Some anti-disturbance device?

One life for that?

Neil, who goes in On the next one?

Well, clements, he-- He has to be put on top.

He'’s the one that did That scuba job last summer

On that israeli freighter, He--as a matter of fact,

It was a toss up between Him and hacket today.

He'’s good.

But you'’re better.

Yeah.

Lieutenant, guess what, Jason milner studied

Electrical engineering While in jail

With a g.I.'’s correspondence School.

They sent him a record of His grades after he got out,

Care of joseph moore At kew gardens.

Joseph moore.

All right, look, Get some men.

I'’ll get a warrant prepared.

I don'’t want To lose this milner.

Yes, sir.

Hello, this is lieutenant Kojak, manhattan south.

Yes, I need a d.A. To prepare a warrant.

Lieutenant, tracy and I Spotted milner

Around the backyard.

All right, let'’s go.

Peekaboo.

Jason milner, joseph moore, Both names are on here.

You know, I'’ve been Waiting for this, kojak.

I bet you have, baby.

I think I got a lawsuit Against you for doing this

'’cause I'm a married man now.

I'’ve got two kids By my wife'’s former marriage,

A legit job.

Hey, man, You'’re looking at a member

Of the chamber of commerce.

Hey, lieutenant.

Now, make sure you find Every cutting tool

Our friend here could Have used on the wire,

And then cut some pieces off For comparison.

You think I'’d keep any tools Around that'’d be used

To make those bombs?

You really think I'’m crazy, Don'’t you?

Lieutenant, you want to Come over here

And take a look at this stuff?

Hey, stavros.

What'’s all this?

That is my business.

I buy old pinball machines, Rebuild them, and sell them.

Look, my wife is due With one of my kids soon.

We didn'’t tell The kids about my record.

Now, they come home, See all of this going on,

Where is that going to leave me?

"Daddy was busted for being The good luck bomber?"

Thanks a lot, kojak.

Hey, look, If you'’re clean,

I'’m gonna be the first To apologize,

Do you understand?

But with your record, You'’re numero uno on the list.

So far they checked The house out, nothing.

They'’re in the basement Checking that out now.

Okay, Look for old newspapers

With the headlines cut out.

Okay, we'’re looking. We'’re not finding anything.

Why don'’t you cuff me In front of the kid, kojak?

Hey, dad, what'’s going on?

Hi, jim.

Well, looks like someone Might have tried to break in.

That'’s right, son, Why don'’t you go inside, huh?

Stay out of the way Of the police officers.

They'’re looking for, Uh, for fingerprints.

They are? No kidding!

Mrs. Milner.

Moore.

They think I'’m the good luck bomber.

Well, I suppose That sooner or later

From everything joe'’s told me

That you might have had To check him out,

But all this with the neighbors Watching and everything?

Well, I'’m gonna take him down For questioning.

If they want to know What'’s going on,

You tell them that, well, He volunteered to give me

Some technical advice About the bombing.

Which is just what he was Talking about doing last night.

Really?

Well, that'’s a little hard To believe, mrs--uh--moore.

Why is that so weird?

Listen, I think I was the best.

I always did. I still do.

Now all I hear about is some nut

Who'’s better Than the whole bomb squad.

You think I don'’t Get interested?

I do.

Lieutenant, if you want to Go over the house and yard

Any better, we'’re gonna need Metal detectors and stuff.

So far we got nothing.

Say anything to the kid?

No, just to keep His hands off things.

- that'’s all. - thanks.

Mr. Milner, Come on with me downtown.

We'’ll talk about the last couple Of months of your life.

All right, let'’s go.

Que pasa?

Do we have our bomber Or don'’t we?

I'’m afraid not.

At least, I can'’t prove it's milner.

He has his alibi Well-established

A week before the first bombing.

And besides, If it were milner,

He'’d be doing it For the bread, baby.

Well, return ten spaces, Do not collect $200.

I wonder how your suspect Would feel

If I asked him to take a look At these x-rays.

Well, I mean, even surgeons Get outside opinions, right?

I need all The help I can get.

You say he'’s good.

Why not? Besides, he'’d love it.

It'’s all right with me.

You should have taken These x-rays

From at least three sides.

Man, we had less Than an hour'’s time.

An hour?

That'’s an eternity.

Now, that is for sure.

I assume your man went In with nonmetallic tools.

Yeah.

He try freezing it?

Freezing it?

It'’s a little Mercury switch,

An anti-disturbance device.

Sometimes we freeze The bomb to immobilize it.

I haven'’t been able to find A drop of mercury

Anywhere in this x-ray, Have you?

Who needs mercury?

I can make an anti-disturbance Device

Out of glass tubing And glycerin,

And it would never show In the x-ray.

That'’s a new one on me.

Well, is it possible?

What isn'’t?

You want to tell me somebody From outer space

Is arming these bombs with Krypton, I'’d believe it.

Well, I'’d freeze It next time.

Co2 should do it.

All right.

Listen, he is good.

I'’m impressed.

What'’s he really want?

Something you'’re not putting In the papers,

Like a couple of million maybe?

Hey, look, any jerk can Grab a kid or plant a bomb,

But when he goes for The payoff, never happened.

- never? - that'’s right, baby.

You better believe it.

He goes to collect, We nail him for sure.

Okay, milner, thanks a lot.

Okay.

Oh, milner, Stay clean, baby.

Hey, no way I intend To go back to jail.

Well, milner'’s sharp.

He really is.

Lieutenant, this was Mailed to the 16th precinct.

We dusted it already, There'’s no prints, nothing.

"To whom it may concern, Manhattan general hospital

"12:00 noon, thursday.

"If you don'’t succeed At first, cry, cry again.

Good luck."

12:00 noon tomorrow.

That'’s 18 1/2 hours.

Director of manhattan general Was just on the phone.

He wants to put out A news release.

He'’s willing to negotiate any Demands the bomber might have.

What demands?

If he wanted anything,

He could'’ve had it three bombs Ago.

Kojak.

Okay, I'’ll meet You down there.

It'’s becker.

They found the bomb finally In the basement.

In the basement-- Get on it.

Three hours. Crocker!

Lieutenant kojak from The new york police department

Has just arrived On the scene.

We'’ll try to get some Explanations from him

About this.

Lieutenant, do you Know what'’s going on?

Isn'’t it true that You don'’t know anything more

About this case Than you did before?

That it looks to me like

You'’re caught between a Rock and a hard place

In trying To catch up with this guy.

You know, if you guys Would stop treating this

Like a weekly carnival, maybe He'’d get bored and go home,

And stop playing To an empty house.

Hey, now, Wait a minute, lieutenant,

As I'’m sure you're aware, The lives of innocent people

Are at stake on this thing.

Now, isn'’t there something that The public should be aware of?

Is there something they Shouldn'’t hear about this thing?

Yeah, there'’s something They should hear.

If they know anything about Who this bomber is

To call 9-1-1 '’cause there's a guy out there

Who needs to get his head Straight

And needs a lot of help.

You could help him. You could help us.

You could help everybody.

Officer, Would you take him back.

Thank you very much, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant kojak is now Entering the north wing

Of the hospital where I Understand the bomb is located.

I cut all the wires Down in the basement.

I want buttressing material up Against that north wall.

If this thing blows,

I don'’t want to lose the whole Building, all right?

Where is it, becker?

Down in the boiler room.

Mm-hmm.

And if it should blow, Who gets it this time?

Me.

Big surprise.

Look, I had 14 volunteers This morning,

But I, honest to god, feel like I'’m the best one qualified, so--

Television equipment'’s here.

X-rays should be ready Any minute.

Tell them to get That camera set up right away.

- right. - television?

I want to trace every step Of this process.

If I fail, the guy that comes After me'’s got a better shot.

Now, theo, I think you'’d Better get out of here

Because this ain'’t No healthy place.

Um, in case you change Your mind, okay,

The building Replaceable, right?

- get in any closer-- - joe, come on in here.

Tell me what you think The soup--

Police are moving us out From the area here.

We'’re gonna try to get Better shots for you...

Joe?

As we can, ladies And gentlemen.

It'’s an extremely tense Situation as I said before.

All right, they tell me The fbi report came in

On the dynamite.

It was sold to a construction Company about a year ago

Over in jersey someplace.

Lieutenant?

Okay, mike.

I watch football, But I can'’t get involved.

But this on tv? Dynamite.

Maybe there'’s Someway I can help.

How'’s becker doing?

He'’s got about an hour.

Come on.

Police have totally sealed off The area now.

We are gonna try to get more Information from some of the--

Excuse me, lieutenant?

Oh, no.

Okay, we can'’t get any more Information right now,

But as these tense hours Continue to tick off,

More and more technicians appear To be arriving on the scene.

That'’s all we can report Right now from this spot,

But we'’ll bring you more Reports as soon as we get them.

That'’s a hum.

It'’s definitely a battery Timepiece,

Maybe a day-date watch.

They can set them months In advance.

Yes, but it would Have to be a grotech.

Why grotech?

Because it'’s the only one On the market

That isn'’t anti-magnetic.

Here.

Yeah, see, Compare these two.

See, this dark area here,

I think we tap in right here, Three inches.

We?

Why not?

Pilot to copilot, roger And out, you know, like that.

That'’s easy enough For me to say, eh?

Nothing personal, fellas,

But I'’m not gonna be here

For the takeoff Or the landing.

Good luck.

- clements, just in case-- - we'’ll get it all on tape.

How much time we have?

55 minutes.

It'’s an eternity.

For sure.

Thank you very much, officer.

I understand that now There are two experts

Inside the hospital working On that bomb.

Meanwhile, In this van over here,

They'’re recording The whole process on videotape.

It'’s getting pretty tense Out here right now.

There are less than 15 Minutes to go before

The fourth device placed by The so-called good luck bomber

Is set to explode.

So far, none of his threats Have been idle ones.

There'’s no reason To think any differently now.

Check this.

What'’s that?

Fiber optics.

He can probe into any small Area, take a look around,

Broadcast out On a monitor like this.

How'’s it looking?

Clear so far.

Okay?

It'’s clear.

What about now?

Clear so far.

Okay?

It'’s all clear.

All right.

Now what?

Check under the batteries.

If there'’s no extra gimmicks Under there,

He'’ll freeze it And start cutting.

- clear? - clear.

Good.

This corner.

Clear.

All right, Now for the big one.

Good.

What does that Look like to you?

It'’s okay.

All clear. Ready to freeze.

Well, now,

Three wires,

Two of them twisted.

You think one Of them'’s a dummy?

I think the wrong one Will blow us sky high.

The x-ray won'’t help here.

He wouldn'’t twist two Hot wires around each other.

Suppose the insulation was bad? Why run the risk?

Cut the odd one.

Whew.

Get somebody in here To remove this thing.

Friday, saturday, Sunday, monday, today--

That'’s five days since They tore this thing apart.

Frank, I know how many days.

I know how many hours. I know how many minutes.

But I still can'’t prove That this bomb wasn'’t

Built in the black forest By the elves,

And you want to know why?

Because the material Used in this bomb,

Ordinary extension cord Wire, nuts, and bolts,

You can pick up At any hardware store,

Any supermarket.

I thought this watch was Gonna wrap it up for us,

If nothing else.

Ah, this watch here is out Of stock and off the market.

Somebody must'’ve Stockpiled them.

Well, does that sound Like a nut to you

Or somebody with a plan?

What kind of a plan, frank?

Has he asked us For anything?

Does that sound Like a plan to you?

Lieutenant, that was the Atlantic city police department.

It seems like our bomber is

Getting a lot of publicity Down there.

Two kids just blew themselves up This morning trying

To make some Kind of a copycat bomb.

Two sticks of dynamite.

One of the kids'’ fathers used To stock it at his business.

Beautiful. It'’s a fad, eh?

Just like the hula hoop.

Well, this fad just blew Their heads clean off.

Sorry to be ugly about it.

Lieutenant, it'’s crocker.

Yeah.

Yeah, lieutenant, I'’m at midway jewelry supply.

They used to have A semi-exclusive

On the grotech watch.

Well, I'’ve got one here, And it'’s the same model.

Now, about a year ago, They ran a mail order special,

So I checked their invoices And come up

With one order for five mailed To an eastside address.

Do you have a pencil?

Okay.

Keep an eye on the place, And I'’ll send a unit.

Saperstein, stavros.

Yeah.

Here, crock will meet you.

All right, His name'’s williamson.

He'’s still in his apartment.

All right, let'’s go.

Hey, this williamson, What does he do?

He rents these cigarette Machines to bars.

That'’s what He told the landlady.

The knicks inbounding,

Walt frazier comes out Of the backcourt, stops--

Police, williamson. Open up.

Police?

You need a search warrant? It'’s on its way.

Why? For what? I got no secrets.

Help yourself.

14 months ago, you order Five watches just like this

From midway jewelry supply, Is that right?

Oh, No way I can forget that.

You got the wrong animal.

They were mailed to you January 15th last year.

I was in florida January the 15th.

I go to miami every january, The whole month.

Anybody use your apartment While you were away

Who might have known You were gone?

Maybe used your mailbox?

I don'’t like too many people To know.

The clients I rent My machines to,

They like having me around For service.

Of course, I told joe he was Gonna handle my route for me.

Joe?

Yeah, we have different Machines

In a few of the same bars.

He'’s got pinball games.

This man'’s name wouldn't Be milner or moore would it?

Yeah, moore.

He lives up in kew gardens.

- saperstein. - yeah.

You get over To milner'’s house,

Put him under Continuous surveillance,

And call in every few hours Even if nothing happens.

I got to call the lieutenant And clue him in.

Okay, bobby.

No wonder he knew What wire to cut.

But why?

What was milner'’s motive?

I don'’t know, frank.

Maybe he wanted to play That big hero scene.

He plants four bombs, Kills two people, to be a hero?

Now, that'’s nuts.

Hey, milner, you know, I'’d Figure him for a huge shakedown.

You know something, Frank, five watches sold,

Only four are bombs so far.

I think we got One more out there.

All of them planted Months ago, eh?

So surveillance Isn'’t gonna get us anywhere.

We can'’t prove that milner Ordered those watches mailed

To williamson'’s address.

This is one huge gastric pain, That'’s what this is.

Yeah?

Excuse me, captain, This is mr. Mackey.

He says it'’s very urgent.

Gentlemen, My name is arthur mackey,

President Of hudson gas and oil.

Mr. Mackey.

Now, this note was left For me at my home two hours ago.

"The last bomb, The biggest yet.

"You get until midnight tonight Or say good-bye

"To the hudson refinery In scenic staten island,

Good luck."

Now, do you gentlemen know What one big bomb can do

To my staten island refineries?

It would knock That plant out for weeks.

It'’d poison the bay,

And it would cost tens Of millions of dollars.

- now, what does he want? - he doesn'’t.

I hope you'’re calling Dial-a-prayer.

No, frank, milner.

He knows he'’s indispensable.

All right, plug in that Conference room,

Will you, frank?

Hello.

Milner, this is kojak. How you doing?

Great. What'’s up?

Hey, look, I'’m on the spot, milner.

I got a tell you In all honesty,

I don'’t know where To turn except to you.

We got another bomb, And we need your help again.

Help us find it, disarm it, What do you say?

Well, this doesn'’t come As a total surprise, kojak.

All right, But there'’s just one thing.

Since my rather obscure Talents have

Suddenly become so essential,

Don'’t you think it only fair That I should get paid further?

After all, how many chances Does a man with my skills get

To earn an honest wage For risking his life?

What do you consider An honest wage, milner?

Oh, say, $1 million, kojak.

Kojak?

Why don'’t you come down? We'’ll discuss it.

I'’m on my way.

Joe, what was that all about?

Oh, I was just joking With kojak.

I have to go down And talk to him.

You said, "Risk your life," I heard you.

Joan, I know What I'’m doing,

And I'’m doing it for us.

Now, don'’t you worry.

Well, brilliant, He disarms one bomb

And then sets himself up As the only one that can do it.

God, why run the risk Of extorting a million dollars

When you can demand it For your services,

Which is all very legal, I hesitate to add.

Wait a minute, Gentlemen, wait a minute.

You--you have an expert who Wants a million dollars

To save our refinery?

Well, I can have a check here In one hour.

He'’s got us, theo. He'’s got us good.

Maybe. Let me see that note.

Maybe we get one more chance To defuse him.

Mr. Kojak, You don'’t understand.

I mean, last year In south america,

We paid over $10 million

To get back two secretaries And a branch manager

From some guerilla terrorists.

I mean, I want to pay This man his million.

Mr. Mackey, do you Want guerilla terrorists

On the streets of new york?

Don'’t you think We have enough already?

Well, then why did you ask me To send for my controller

To bring a check For a million?

Bait.

Now, Where the hell is fowler?

He was working undercover In the east village.

They'’re picking him up.

How about The surveillance equipment?

Well, the staten island Police are gonna borrow it

From the bronx.

It'’s probably On its way now.

How well do you know the Staten island plant of yours?

Well, I was in On the initial design.

Oh, good.

Where'’s the best spot to sneak In through security,

Plant the bomb where it would do The most destruction?

Probably number three Cracking plant.

I'’ll show you on The maps when they get here.

- they'’re coming over. - lieutenant.

But what I don'’t Understand is why you want maps

Of my other storage Facilities as well.

I mean, they'’re not involved.

Detective fowler is here.

What'’s up, lieutenant?

I was just getting acquainted With a delicious acid freak.

Well, just go Into my office there

And start learning your lines.

Take off the watch you got And put on this one.

Don'’t ask any questions. Come on.

My lines? What'’s going on?

Mr. Mackey, here, $1 million.

Pay to bearer, incredible.

What'’s going on, mr. Mackey?

Give me those maps.

Look, mr. Hughes, you go home

And don'’t say anything To anybody, okay?

That'’s right, captain.

Cracking plant number three, Staten island facility.

A detective crocker will Be there

To show you where to put The equipment, eh?

All right.

Okay, we got it down?

Yeah.

Right.

On his way up. Let'’s go.

Okay, come with me. This way.

- who is it? - milner.

Okay, come in.

This is mr. Mackey From hudson gas and oil.

Mr. Milner.

Mr. Mackey.

Here is a certified check For $1 million.

It'’s dated for tomorrow.

Now, you disarm The bomb, you live,

You can cash it In the morning.

Okay.

Now, where is this bomb supposed To be planted?

Well, we'’re counting On your expertise there.

Oh, by the way, mr. Milner,

This was the note that was left For me at my house.

"One last bomb, The biggest yet.

"You get until Midnight tonight

Or say good-bye To the hudson refinery."

I mean, this is it?

This is all you Have to go on?

Why, mr. Milner,

Do you--you think There'’s something missing?

Really, I have no idea.

It would just be nice if you Were a little more specific.

Well, I have the maps Right here, mr. Milner.

Why don'’t we take A look at them?

Now, it'’s my guess that It'’s either in the bronx

Or maybe at our dockside Facilities

At our east river landing.

What about bayonne Or staten island?

That makes sense to me.

Sorry to bust in, lieutenant,

But I think we just Caught our bomber.

I'’m sure I've heard That one before.

Trace, he and me, We took a ride downtown

To the hudson oil company'’s East-side landing

As soon as we found out about That new letter.

We found this going Over the fence.

Turn around, here.

Pay attention To the lieutenant.

Don'’t touch me. Don'’t touch none of me, pig.

What the hell Are you doing?

His name is alan zwicker.

He had these on him, Wire cutters.

They'’re for my fingernails.

I'’m very well-groomed.

Well-groomed.

Here'’s his yellow.

Alan zwicker, number of arrests For disturbing the peace,

Cofounder of students Against imperialism,

Indicted for inciting To riot in connection

With picketing on The hudson oil company.

So? So what?

I know you, Zwicker, oh, yeah.

I picked up morse and that kid In your apartment, huh?

Nothing stuck against me.

It was his house where They were building the bombs.

What?

Look, I think we'’re wasting Valuable time on him.

He doesn'’t know his can From a tea kettle

When it comes to bombs.

Hey, what'’s a good voltage For one of these packages?

Well, what is this, huh?

Some kind Of corny cop trick?

- I don'’t got the time. - hey, lookie here.

- grotech electric day-date watch. - so?

So, well, I'’ll tell you what, So.

You and me, junior, We'’re gonna take a ride down

To the east river landing, okay?

We'’re gonna look For the bomb,

And if we don'’t Find the bomb,

We'’re gonna stay there Until midnight,

And then at midnight, one Million gallons of gasoline,

Poof!

I think you'’d like that.

Theo, you can'’t.

Yes, I can.

Go get those portable lights.

- yes. - come on, frank, please.

All right, I'’ll give the orders.

Start evacuating The whole downtown area.

Thanks, frank.

Excuse me.

Are you buying This theory?

I'’m the expert around here! What about my opinion?

It'’s the lieutenant's Decision, mr. Milner,

And besides, paying you $1 Million is not going

To make me look very good With the board, now is it?

The check, please.

Listen, I risked my life For you guys once.

I come down prepared To do it again,

And you don'’t want my help.

Well, we got Our man, milner.

Just not your night.

Kojak!

Don'’t you ever come to me again Because if you do,

$1 million is going To look like a bargain, baby.

Lieutenant kojak, Captain north,

Duty captain Of staten island.

Hi, captain, how are you?

We'’ve got two low-level Television cameras set up,

One down there About a quarter of a mile,

The other up there On the landing.

What'’s all this about, Lieutenant?

Well, we hope it'’s about This yo-yo bomber showing up

To disarm his bomb.

You know, he probably Doesn'’t have another one,

Can'’t risk making Another one,

He'’ll try to save this one.

By the way, detective Saperstein called for you,

A mrs. Milner came down To the station to see you.

He'’s driving out here with Her now, said it was urgent.

- thanks, captain. - right.

What is this equipment?

Special tv cameras--night Amplifiers, they call them.

They see in the dark

100 times better Than the human eye.

Is that a car down there?

I can'’t see a thing.

It'’s not a car. It's a van.

That'’s him.

All right, crocker, Station yourself down by

That tank over there.

All right, Let'’s move in on him,

But don'’t rush him until He walks away from it, okay?

All right, freeze, milner!

Hold it!

Over here! Over here!

All right, is it disarmed Or not, milner?

Here, I found this In his pocket.

It'’s quite possible He built this thing,

So it could be disarmed Magnetically from the outside.

Sure, put it in the wrong Place, see what happens.

It'’s over for me Any way you look at it, kojak.

At least this way my family Gets insurance.

How much time We got, theo?

Give or take Three minutes.

All right, Hold this for me.

If the guts of this one Are like the others,

The magnet could be On either end.

Heads or tails, You got two minutes.

Lieutenant, I brought mrs. Milner.

- she wants to talk to you. - joan!

- go back! - joe!

Come back!

Joe, I know What you'’ve done.

Please don'’t make It any worse.

You'’re making it worse!

Don'’t do this To the kids, joe.

They'’re gonna have To live with it.

- everybody get out of here. - here, take this.

Come on.

Milner, is it the end away From the batteries?

Help them.

Huh?

Joe, please!

It'’s got to be.

Right, milner?

Right!

Heads, we win.

Tails, who would have cared?

Eh, no business Like show business.

Take a bow, baby.

All right, Take him to the car.

I'’m sorry, lieutenant. I'’m sorry about everything.

You go home And tell your son that, uh,

He came down to try To make it easier for us, okay?

Maybe that'’ll help.

Let'’s go.

You'’d have to be the best To pull a plan like mine off.

Well, you didn'’t pull it off, Milner.

Get in there.

Pretty good guess, becker.

Nobody works In this business for 20 years

And guesses at anything.

I gave it my best shot. I was right.

- I'’m sorry. - you'’re forgiven.

Gentlemen, I want To really thank you very,

Very much, both of you.

Why don'’t you just buy us A drink, mr. Mackey?

I don'’t drink.

I don'’t either, but why Don'’t you buy us a drink anyway?
