Ha ha. opa.

You stand right here.
You stand here.

I'’m gonna take a nice
Family picture.

- johnny, honey, come over here.
- come on, ma.

I don'’t want to have
My picture took.

- come on. Come on.
- come here, darling.

Get over there in back.
Right there.

Okay, wait a second. Smile.

Say, "Baklava."

Keep the family.
Everybody'’s in.

Okay, let'’s get those
Pearly whites showing.

Big smiles. That'’s it.
Big smile. All right.

All right, smile.

Come on in, don.

It'’s a birthday party
For my uncle.

Eat something.

Oh, no, john. I couldn'’t
Put down no food, not right now.

Look, I'’m a little strung out
And I need to get high.

- do you have any bread?
- no way. I'’m tapped.

And the house money
Went on this party.

Well, let'’s hit the streets.
We can scrounge up something.

I'’ll get my jacket.

Where we gonna score any money?

There'’s nothing happening
Out here.

No sweat, man.

What, are you crazy?
That'’s my uncle's camera.

He'’s a cop, a lieutenant.

So what?

We already got it.
We can'’t take it back...

So I might as well use it
For a buy.

Nobody saw me. In that madhouse,
He won'’t even remember.

John, you want to get high,

Or you want him
Taking dumb pictures with this?

Two candy bars.

What do you want?

I'’ll give you a couple of
Two-dollar bags for it.

It cost my mom 79 bucks.

I was with her
When she bought it.

- so sell it back to her.
- be fair, robles.

You got to give us
At least 20 for it.

Give you these two
Nickel bags. That'’s it.

- take it or leave it.
- but it'’s worth more.

We'’ll take it.

It ain'’t right,
But we need the stuff.

Sure, you do, baby.

Sure, you do.

Took the whole bag...

Feet are still on the ground.

I'’m up pretty high.

Johnny...

We took the stuff
Because we had to.

But we ought to go back,

Get even.

Are you crazy?

I'’m not going back
And hassle him.

He'’s our connection.

Nah, I don'’t mean that.

I mean...Just do a little job
In his candy store

After he closes.

It'’s easy, man.
He'’s got it coming.

Bust in and rob him?

Why not?

He robbed us.

All right, all right.

Had a good week, good week
Right down the wire.

Good. I'’m glad to hear it.

What'’s wrong with you?
You nuts?

The store ain'’t empty.

He'’s in there with wilson,
The shylock.

Wilson. You mean the guy
Works down at ninth,

The smart-money guy?

What'’s wilson
Doing in there with him?

What do I know?
Let'’s get out of here.

Just got in
A new shipment. Huh?

One ounce. Good stuff.
It'’s 800 bucks. Weigh it.

Yeah, I know I don'’t
Have to weight it,

But you got to wait
A couple of days for the bread.

I got everything tied up
In other goods.

What other goods?
What are you talking about?

You know, goods.

Hot stuff.

I don'’t want to hear
All this.

Give me the bread
Or give me back the package.

You got to give me a few days
To sell it off.

I'’ll have all the cash I need.

I got 3,000 or 4,000
In this room.

What are you trying to do,
Start a trading post?

You pay cash for your drugs.
Green, not goods.

I'’ll give you interest
On your money.

I'’ll give you a hundred vig
For two days.

You'’re a pusher.

I don'’t mix my business.

I only lend to legit people.

Hey, hey. No, don'’t.
No, don'’t. Please don't.

Don'’t, please. I need it.
You'’ll put me out of business.

What happened?
I heard that cannon go off.

Came at me.

Blew him away.

They must'’ve seen
The whole thing. You know them?

The one with the army hat,
I know him,

But he'’s just a kid.

Not no more, he ain'’t.

- so who glommed your camera?
- what do I know?

You know, maybe my sister
Took it back for a refund.

Come to think of it, I don'’t
Think she liked me as a kid.

Well, maybe it'’s hard
To like kids without curls.

Oh, really?

You never saw this?

Lieutenant kojak.

Lieutenant, I think
We just found your camera.

Ah.

Lieutenant, I checked
This serial number out

Through the manufacturer
To treanors photo store,

And they said they sold it
To your sister six days ago.

It'’s an awful lot
Of traveling.

You'’d think it belonged to
A japanese tourist.

And the dead guy
Is neal robles.

He must be a fence.
If you see it, it'’s stolen.

And your camera was in his hand
When they found him.

- who found him?
- the guy who delivers sodas.

The joint was locked. He looks
In the window in the back...

Sees the body, calls 911.
Emergency service broke in.

The inner bolts,
They weren'’t locked?

No, and there'’s no sign
Of a prior break-in.

It'’s probably a customer
Trying to sell him something

With the door locked
On his way out.

I guess he could'’ve been
Trying to sell him this.

And there was you, me,
Costa and johnny

And your friends, the eaters
And the girl watcher.

Why didn'’t you tell us last
Night the camera was missing?

Because it wasn'’t
That important last night.

How about that kid
Who came to the door,

The one with
The funny army hat?

I don'’t remember
Any other boy, but...

Sounds like donny.
He'’s johnny's friend.

Oh? Where is johnny, anyway?

I might as well ask him
Now that I'’m here.

He'’s not home now.
He'’ll be here later.

I have a little time, mary.
I'’ll wait for him.

Well, he might be very late.

He'’s looking for a job.

What does he need a job for?
He'’s in high school.

He'’s a senior. What is it,
You need money or something?

No.

I don'’t need the money.

He quit school.

He doesn'’t listen to me
Anymore, theo.

He doesn'’t come home. He doesn't
Listen to me or connie.

He just doesn'’t come home.

Sometimes overnight,
Sometimes two nights.

When I ask him,
He doesn'’t answer.

I don'’t know what to do.

I just don'’t know what to do.

He didn'’t come home
Last night, either.

Why didn'’t you tell me
All this before?

I didn'’t want to bother you.

You got your own problems.
You don'’t need mine.

Hey, maybe I don'’t need them,
Mary, but are we family or not?

Look, if he doesn'’t listen
To his mother,

Is he gonna listen to his uncle?

Johnny'’s not home
And hasn'’t been home,

And he'’s under 18 years of age.
That means he'’s missing.

And that'’s how
He'’s gonna be reported--

A missing person for now.

But I'’m hungry.

And we ain'’t got no money.

And I can'’t go home
'’cause we clipped the camera.

Yeah, me neither.

Besides, how do we know that
Wilson ain'’t looking for us?

Oh, I forgot about him
For a minute.

Oh, man.

Man.

We ain'’t got no place to go.

We got to get away to someplace.

We need some money, johnny.
You know anybody?

Who'’d lend us money? A bank?

The shylocks won'’t even
Give us no money.

Besides, the only shy we know
Is wilson.

Want to go ask him?

Why not?

He'’s the only guy
That can'’t refuse us.

We get a couple hundred dollars,
Maybe three or four.

You'’re crazy.

Wilson ain'’t no guy
To fool around with.

He already blew away robles.

He'’ll give us the money.

He'’s got no choice.

We seen him do it.

Didn'’t we, john?

Let'’s go, man.

Everything'’s going our way.

They ain'’t around
They got to be stashed.

Nobody'’s seem them.
Maybe the cops got them.

If the cops had them,
They'’d be looking for me by now.

- well, they still ain'’t around.
- oh, they'’re around.

You got your own police force.
Use them.

Get together a bunch of
Two-dollar bags.

Pass them out to the junkies.
They'’ll find them for us.

We never pushed no drugs
Street level before.

Listen, davis,
I want those kids found.

Dead or alive,
It don'’t make no difference,

'’cause that's how
They'’re gonna end up anyhow.

Get out there
And buy us some help.

That robles was nothing more
Than a penny-ante fence.

Oh, yeah, maybe he used to push
A little two percent

Low-grade street garbage.

My camera'’s ripped off,
My nephew'’s missing,

My camera winds up in the arms
Of a homicide victim.

So what? Even if the kid
Did grab your camera,

We don'’t know
He dumped it on robles.

Are you figuring johnny
Got into a beef with robles

Over the camera
And then shot him?

No. No, this kid'’s no killer.

I used to slip him quarters
When he was a kid.

Uncle theo. Was this big.

Always smiling.

Uh-huh.

Theo, you'’re too close to this.

You go home, you grab a shower,
You take the day off.

I'’ll call you
If anything breaks.

Hey, I could always get
A couple hours'’ sleep here.

You do it home.
Besides, you'’ll be in my way.

I'’ll be using your office
To run this case.

Out.

- stavros, rizzo.
- captain.

Want you to hit the streets,

Take the night-duty men
With you.

I'’ll handle the phones.

Pick up any information you can
On robles and two kids.

You buy the information
If you have to.

I'’ll get the money back
From downtown.

- and call me if anything breaks.
- yes, captain. Okay, let'’s go.

We want to see wilson,
Me and my buddy.

We know he'’s watching us.

We saw it. We saw
The candy man get killed.

Whoa, easy, easy, easy.

No, no trouble, honest.

Just a little--some bread and
Maybe some of that happy stuff,

You know, just enough
To get straight.

What are you talking about?

400 bucks and some smack,
Or we go to the cops on wilson.

Hey, man,
Don'’t get so uptight.

Come over here.

Listen, it sounds like
A fair deal to me,

But I got to speak to wilson
First, okay?

Well, how long will it be?
We can'’t wait around forever.

Well, here we go.

Here'’s my good faith, all right?

Here'’s 20

And a couple of deuces
To help you out, okay?

You and your friend,

You can meet me at deangelo'’s
At 12:00 tonight.

Now don'’t sweat it, baby.
We'’ll make a deal.

Wilson'’s really a good guy,
Okay?

It'’s a score.
200 and some white stuff.

They'’re scared, but not
Scared enough to go to the cops.

We got a couple of ounces
Of uncut stuff, ain'’t we?

- just about.
- then leave it pure.

Make up a couple of hotshots.

They shoot it up,
And they overdose.

Suicide, except
We supply the gun.

Relax, kid.

As long as you came to me first,
I got no beef.

Yeah, well, my buddy'’s
Waiting outside,

And if I don'’t come out,
He'’s going to the police.

He'’ll really do it. I mean it.

Take it easy.
Don'’t get excited.

I don'’t blame you for trying
To make a score out of it.

I'’d have probably done
The same thing myself.

Yeah, well, I'’m just trying
To keep straight, you know?

Sure, I do.
Who'’d know better than me?

I pulled a few hustles
In my day, also.

Here'’s 300.

It'’s all the cash
I can spare right now.

Now, davis here,

He'’ll give you
A couple of bags.

It'’ll more than
Make up the difference.

Let'’s check them out.

Hey, hey, come here.
I want to talk to you.

Get over here.
Get up against the wall.

Don'’t hit me.
My uncle'’s a cop.

Get your hands up.

Maxwell, my detective
Who picked him up,

He just wanted to
Check them out.

They took off. Well, he was able
To hold on to this mouth

With your nephew attached.

He used your name, so I figured
I'’d give you a courtesy call,

Lieutenant to lieutenant.

All right, thank you, donovan.
I appreciate it.

Kojak, I don'’t know
If you know this or not,

But your nephew
Ain'’t exactly straight.

He'’s a junkie.

You cop my camera?

No, uncle theo. Honest.

Just got lost, huh?

- when'’d you start using drugs?
- last summer.

But just once in a while.

Why?

I don'’t know.
Just for kicks I guess.

I just tried it.

- how much you shooting?
- not even a bag a day.

I only joy pop.

Got all the junkies'’
Pat answers, don'’t you?

I'’m not a junkie.
I could stop anytime I want to.

I got no habit.

You think so?

I'’m gonna show you
Your future.

Hey, man,
Don'’t hassle me, man.

I haven'’t fixed for a month.

Roll up your sleeve.
Let me see your arm.

Yeah.

Come on, I'’m cool, man.

How old are you?

19.

How long you been using?

About four...

Five years.

Why'’d you start?

Why I start, man?

Just for...

Just for fun, man.

For...For kicks, man.

I was just joy popping.

How much do you use?

Oh...Few spoons a day.

Three...Four.

That'’s a pretty good habit.

Hey, man,
That ain'’t nothing, man.

I ain'’t hooked on this stuff.

I could kick it. I could kick it
Anytime I want.

Me--I was talking to a junkie.

You kid--
You'’re looking into a mirror.

You ever hear the expression
"To detox"? Detoxification?

What'’s that mean?

It means you'’re gonna take the
Cure, get yourself cleaned up.

Takes two or three days to
Get rid of the physical effects

Of the drugs, to detox you.

You mean cold turkey?

You call it what you want.
That'’s what you're gonna do.

First we'’re gonna
Clean up your body,

And then we'’re gonna
Work on your head.

Hello, theo. Come on in.

You look lousy.
You should get more sleep.

That him?

This is my nephew johnny.
Johnny, this is sonny south.

As they say, he used to be
A contender.

You scared, johnny?

Yeah, I guess so.

Good. Keep it that way.

Me and you are gonna be together
A few days,

Trying to make you into
A human being again.

We'’re gonna get you clean,

And you can stay clean
Or go back to your sewer.

You get one trip with me.
We'’re gonna sit up there.

I'’m gonna be pouring sugar and
Orange juice down your throat

And wiping the puke off
Your chin when it comes back up.

And don'’t try
To bust out of the room.

I'’m an ex-con, an ex-pug,
And an ex-junkie,

And I'’ll knock you
Right on your tail.

Now get up those stairs
To room 204 and take a shower.

Go on.

What are you doing,
Reading the riot act to him,

Or is there more to this?

Well, it might keep him
Under control a little longer.

I need the edge
As long as possible.

What do I do now?

Just give me 34 bucks.

That'’s the rent on the room
For a week.

And I don'’t want to see you
Till I call you.

I'’ll bill you
If he breaks the furniture.

You owe me six dollars.

Check this number out.

Since when do you start
Calling me in on overdoses?

It'’s the kid, lieutenant,
The one we been looking for--

Donny, your nephew'’s pal.

His name is donald collins.
He'’s 17 years old.

There'’s a set of works
On that table over there,

Plus a half a bag of heroin.

There'’s a full back of heroin
In his pocket,

Plus about 280 bucks
In fives and tens.

Not only that, we found this
Loaded automatic

Tucked in his belt.

It'’s the same caliber
As the one that killed robles.

It'’s no toy, is it?

Boy, this keeps building up
Like a garbage heap.

All right, set up a crime scene.

I want you to treat this
Like a homicide,

- but don'’t classify it as such.
- lieutenant, it'’s an o.D.

They may beef,
Priorities and all that.

Let them. We'’re gonna go
All the way with this--

Forensics, ballistics.

Let'’s see where it falls,

Even if it falls right in my lap
And my family'’s.

- hello.
- sonny.

Yeah. What do you want, theo?

- look, how'’s johnny holding up?
- like any junkie doing it cold.

He'’s sick, theo. Sick as a dog.

Well, I'’m coming over there.
I got to ask him some questions.

This kid
Ain'’t gonna see nobody.

You'’re not getting on his back
Now. You know the rules.

He'’s doing it, theo.

Don'’t you understand, man?
He'’s carrying enough.

Now don'’t hit him
With nothing more.

He may not make it, anyway,
But let'’s give him even money.

Okay, sonny. You let me know
When, though, okay,

- as soon as possible?
- thanks, theo.

No, buddy.

Thank you.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

Oh, man, I'’m sick.

I got to have a shot.

Just one shot,

Then I can hold together.

Then I can make it. Please?

You can do it.

You can kick.

I did. Twice.

Both times cold turkey.

The second time, it all
Held together for me,

And I been clean ever since.

14 years now.

How come it took you twice?

Maybe I'’m twice as dumb
As you are.

You can do it the first trip.

After my first trip, I...
Kidded myself into thinking

I could shoot up again,
Just for fun.

The second time...

The second time, my brother
Locked me in a room.

I sweated it out alone.

I blew my whole life on drugs

And ended up in a stinking room

In a stinking neighborhood.

All I got in life'’s...

Is guys like you.

You'’re important to me, kid.

I got to have a shot.

One shot. One lousy shot.

One lousy shot'’s
All the shots in the world.

It'’s the next thousand shots,

The next ten years,
If you live that long.

You got no right
To keep me here.

- let me go.
- think you can make it?

You can be one of the ones
With enough guts to make it?

Then do it.

Just hang in there.
Hang in there.

The gun matches. It fits the
Bullet taken from robles'’ body.

And for
An added piece of news,

The donald collins'’ prints

Fit the partials
Found on your camera.

Keeps growing, doesn'’t it,
Getting heavier and heavier.

There'’s more yet.

The drugs found on collins

Were 14 grains of 28% pure.

That'’s lethal.

That'’s ten times the strength
Of street-level stuff.

That'’s right.

The guns, fingerprints
On the camera,

The cash, the pure stuff
That wiped out the collins kid.

You know, it'’s all
Falling into place like a rug.

Johnny and collins, they knock
Off robles for a little money,

They stumble upon the drugs,

And it all started with
One lousy little camera.

You think they shot him, too?

Hey, crocker, that'’s one part
I hate to think about.

Sonny or no sonny,
I got to speak to johnny.

Who'’s sonny?

Sonny. He was the one

I thought was gonna solve
A little family problem.

I'’m not too sure anymore.

He flew the coop.
Johnny'’s out.

He took some
Old paint clothes of mine

And went out the window
And down the fire escape.

He could'’ve made it, theo.
He could'’ve made it.

It'’s all my fault.

You didn'’t stick that needle
Into his arm,

And we can'’t argue
About that, anyway.

Look, I think he'’s headed for
A stash of heroin

That'’s almost pure,
And he doesn'’t know it.

- how pure?
- 100% o.D. Pure.

His buddy'’s dead already.
Get in.

Where'’d you find
That friend of his, the o.D.?

Maybe that'’s where
He'’s got his share stashed.

I would'’ve come back.
I just wanted a shot.

You wouldn'’t have come back
After this shot, kid.

Your buddy collins is dead
From an overdose.

Donny?

Donny'’s dead?

Where'’d the gun come from?

Where'’d the gun come from?

Donny collins
Never had no gun.

Must'’ve been wilson's.

We'’d never do anything
With a gun.

Who'’s wilson?

What'’s the rest of his name?

Wilson...

It'’s all I know him by.

Except that we met him.

Donny met him...

At deangelo'’s on fifth street.

It'’s like his hangout.

And he'’s got this guy,

Jimmy davis, with him
All the time.

Oh. Oh.

Man.

What did I do to myself?

Sonny...

I want to go back to the room.

I want to kick.

Sure, kid.

We'’ll give it another try.

How about it, theo?

All right.

But no more playing social work
For me, do you understand?

You want to break the rules,
You can learn to pay the price.

I'’m gonna book you,
Petty larceny, the camera.

You'’ll be out tonight on parole,

Or better yet, I'’ll put up
The bail myself.

If you disappear this time,
I'’ll pull back the bail,

And you can take your cure
Sitting in a cell.

- do me a favor, stavros.
- yes, sir.

Handle the collar.

I'’ll catch up with you
In court.

It'’s about time I let his mother
In on what'’s going on.

All right, let'’s go.

Don'’t just sit there
Like a soap opera.

Tell me, is he all right?
Is he dead?

No, he'’s not dead.
He'’s with me.

But he'’s in trouble, mary.

He'’s an addict.

An addict?
An addict is a word.

My johnny'’s not a word.
He'’s a boy.

You bring him home, theo.
I'’ll take care of him.

You can'’t, not for this.
It'’s something different.

He'’s gonna stay with a friend
Of mine for a couple of days.

He'’ll take care of him.

What, are you kidding?
Better than his mother?

For this, yes. Look, mary,
He'’s in other trouble, too.

Look, I want to see him,
To know he'’s all right.

Where is he?

Oh. You can be a hard man, theo.

What do you want,
A son or an animal?

If I take him, maybe, just maybe
You might get a son back.

You take him, you'’ll have
A zombie with a family name.

Maybe that'’s what he needs,
Somebody hard.

And I'’ve got to be it,
Whether I want to or not.

Ah.

Hey, mary, look at me.

I'’m gonna put him with
A friend of mine.

His name is sonny south.

He'’s taken care of kids
Like this before.

He'’s done it for me, okay?

I'’m sorry, theo.

I just had to call
Somebody names,

And you'’re sitting there
In front of me.

I'’ll let you keep him.

I'’ll let you keep him
For a while,

But I want to see him.

I want to know where he is.

I want to know he'’s all right.
I got to see him.

Where is he?

Okay, look,

I'’ll leave you the address,
And I'’ll tell sonny

That you'’ll be coming by
The day after tomorrow,

But no sooner, okay? Mary?

You heard the man.
Up against the wall.

Spread them. Spread them.

Start the search
From the front.

You work your way
Into the backroom

And you cover everything.

You see, I want wilson
For murder.

Now, if you want to be a part of
That, well, it'’s okay with me,

But let me
Tell you something, davis,

You play cowboys and indians
With me,

You'’re gonna have to pay
The price, you understand?

Look, I ain'’t got
Nothing to do with no killing.

That ain'’t my thing.

Captain, lookee what I found.

Hey, theo,
Take a look at these.

Oh.

What'’s this?

I don'’t know. I never
Saw them in my life before.

Maybe you brought them in
With you.

Come here.

You see these packets?

That'’s what they sell
Street heroin in.

But, of course, you wouldn'’t
Know about that, would you, huh?

And you see this flour here?
Zippy dippy doo.

That looks just like heroin,
But, of course,

You never saw heroin before,
And you know what I'’m gonna do?

I'’m gonna fill up
These little packets like this

And I fill up enough
For a felony,

And then you know
What I'’m gonna do?

I'’m gonna bust you.

Oh, that ain'’t fair, man.
That'’s a frame.

I mean, it ain'’t right.
That ain'’t h, man.

- it'’ll show.
- that'’s right.

But that'’s gonna take a couple
Of days. In the meantime...

Back at the farm, I'’m gonna
Let it known out on the streets

That you'’re a stoolie, davis,

And you know what I'’m gonna do
Then? I'’m gonna let you go.

But then when I go
Looking for wilson,

I'’m gonna let him know
That you put the squawk on him.

Davis, you'’re a dead man,

Unless, of course,

You help me bust wilson now.

You want to carry
All the weight?

Want to be walking down
The street

And have somebody
Put a hit on you?

Why me? Why all this to me?

Because you were
Part of the deal

To try to hotshot my nephew.

You see, this is personal, punk,
Not just business,

So you better talk.

Look, it wasn'’t me.
I had nothing to do with it.

So what'’s to talk about?

Now look, I know
You'’re trying to bluff davis,

But his lawyer'’s here.
I can'’t stall him any longer.

He called the d.A.'’s office,
And they called us back.

They said we have to allow him

To talk to his client
Immediately.

- saperstein.
- yes, sir.

You take a trip to b.C.I.
And narcotics if you have to

And get a picture of wilson.
Take a wet print.

Oh, and tell that
Lawyer krakhauer

He'’s got five minutes to see
Davis in the interrogation room.

Right.

Well, I tried, frank.

Lieutenant, if the charges
Against davis

Have anything to do with this
Alleged narcotics recovered

And this powder
Turns out to be common flour,

I will personally
Bring this case

To the attention
Of the district attorney,

And you will be in
Very great trouble.

What flour?

Davis was brought in here

Relative to questioning
In a homicide.

And what'’s flour
Got to do with homicide?

- what homicide?
- pick a file. Any file.

You know, apparently your client
Makes up in imagination

What you lack in scruples,
Mr. Krakhauer.

Flour? Don'’t be stupid. Davis!

Come out here, you punk.

I guess you represent wilson
As well?

That'’s what got you down here
So fast, right?

The names of my clients
Are confidential.

I do not have to disclose them
To the police.

Now, I hope you have
No intentions

Of harassing my client
Any further.

My intentions

Are none of your business,
Garbage man,

So you go pick up slime
Over there

And get the hell out.

We got to find the kid.
Simple.

I ain'’t ready
To get involved with

No hit
On a relative of kojak'’s.

He'’s making it a real hard case.

Ain'’t like it's his kid.
Just his nephew.

Besides, he'’s a junkie.

- the only one who can hurt us.
- what do you mean, us?

You'’re the one
That killed robles.

You'’re the one that he saw.

But us did the thing
With collins.

Hey, there ain'’t no way
They can prove that.

There ain'’t no way they can
Prove the candy-store thing,

If we handle it right.

Listen, jimmy,

Let'’s clean this thing up.

After it'’s over, we'll stay
In business on a 50-50 basis.

But you go all the way
With in on this,

You'’ll be my partner.

Now, you know where
This kid lives?

Lieutenant, this is all
That saperstein weeded out

Of all the hundreds of wilsons
We had on file.

Narcotics was no help.

- think davis will pick him out?
- davis is gone.

His lawyer moved him out.
I couldn'’t hold him any longer.

What now?

Well, I still have johnny.

Go ahead.
Try something hot now.

Who knows?
It might even stay down.

No sweat, johnny.

As long as you got the urge
To eat, you'’re on your way.

Food'’ll stay down
Pretty soon now.

- yeah.
- it'’s me--theo.

- how'’s it going?
- he'’s gonna be okay.

Probably be eating me broke
By tomorrow.

Look, I have to speak to him,
To show him some pictures.

Is it all right
If I come on over?

- can it wait till tomorrow?
- well, if it has to.

It has to.

He'’s out of it now,
And I don'’t want to press him.

The longer he sleeps,
The less he feels.

Okay. I'’ll see you
Real early, then.

- he ain'’t home.
- you sure?

I sent one of
The neighborhood kids up there.

He knows them,
And they know him.

Said he'’s staying with a friend.

Drosinis. You sure
That'’s the right name?

Yeah, that'’s right.
Kojak must have him stashed.

Think this kid'’s ever been
Arrested or anything?

I don'’t know for sure.

You know any kids
In this neighborhood

That don'’t have a record,
Especially a junkie?

Information.

- hello.
- I'’m sorry to disturb you...

But I'’d like to speak to
John drosinis.

- johnny--
- oh, is this mr. Drosinis?

No. I'’m his uncle constantino.
Just helping out over here.

Johnny'’s mother is in church.

Could you tell me
When john will be home?

He won'’t be home tonight. He's
Staying at some other house.

Oh, that'’s too bad.

My name is sloan.

I'’m a probation officer,

New york city
Department of correction.

Board of education grant.

It'’s necessary
That I verify

The residence
Of john drosinis

And that he is still
Living within the jurisdiction

- of new york city.
- he'’s here, mr. Sloan.

He'’s just not home tonight,
That'’s all.

Hey, is he in more trouble?

Not if I can
Locate him tonight.

Otherwise, I'’ll have to have
A warrant issued.

I must see him tonight.

I know where he is.
Just wait a minute, please.

I have the address
Here somewhere.

Thank you. I was sure
He would cooperate.

What do you say? You ready
To call it a night, boss?

Why do these kids
Tear themselves apart?

Blow their minds.

Mainlining right to
The junk pile for freaks.

Ach.

Well, you take a drink
Once in a while, don'’t you?

Are you trying to suggest
They'’re the same thing?

- no.
- then what?

I was gonna suggest
We go grab a belt.

Oh.

Kojak.

Parole officer?

Now will you take it easy,
Constantino?

Will you let me have it again?

I'’ll be right back, kid.

All right, all right.
I'’ll be right there.

Sorry, fellas.
No rooms available.

- are you the manager?
- that'’s right.

We were told to ask for
A mr. South.

That'’s right, fellas,

But there still ain'’t
No rooms available.

- where'’s the kid?
- sonny, you coming back up?

Get in the room
And lock the door!

Don'’t shoot that thing,
Wilson. Don'’t shoot.

No! No!

Lock the door. Lock the door!

Hold it.

- lieutenant, are you all right?
- yeah.

I hope to god
You'’re worth the trade.
