Original subtitles

Mr. Malloy.

Inhale, baby.

- nothing. - nothing is right.

You have not brought me Cocaine at all.

You brought me milk sugar.

That I could get With food stamps.

We both tested the samples. I wouldn't switch it on you.

We done too much business.

We been ripped off.

We? No, you.

Now, either I get my 200,000

Or those 10 pounds Of bouncing powder

By this time tomorrow, My friend, or you are dead.

Dr. Oliver? He just left a few moments ago.

Where's he park his car?

In the doctors' area Downstairs.

Okay, doc, You got two choices--

The snow or your life.

What are you, crazy?

Lieutenant, the deceased Was dr. Jefferson oliver,

Caucasian, 32 years old, Shot point-blank range,

And the motive Doesn't look like robbery.

The forensics raised a good Print from the watch crystal.

A thumb, thin scar diagonally, But it's not the victim's.

Terrific, now all he has to do Is match it to a man

With a live thumb.

All right, go on, crocker.

The deceased Was an associate on staff here

At clossen medical center.

It's a private hospital For cosmetic surgery.

Face-lifts, breast bobs.

I hear this dr. Clossen Does great work

For ladies who sag.

Do you know they cater to Gents here, lieutenant, huh?

Lieutenant, I got a nurse upstairs

Who thinks she saw The assailant.

- the killer, stavros. - of course I noticed him.

He was running through here Like a crazy man.

I thought it was Some kind of emergency.

Now, he was short, medium build,

Had dark hair,

And I even think I noticed a scar

Up over his forehead-- No, maybe it was this side.

Well, I can't be positive.

Well, thank you very much, Nurse vernon.

- you've been very helpful. - thanks.

All right, Have her in tomorrow

To work up a sketch On the suspect.

In the meantime, I think I'll go talk to his boss.

- oliver is what? - dead.

He was found murdered

In the garage of your hospital, Dr. Clossen.

Oh, my god.

When? How?

Shot a few hours ago.

Shot?

It's got to be a mistake.

I'm sorry, mrs. Clossen.

Jeff oliver dead.

I-I can't believe it.

Murdered?

Yes, we think the man Who killed him

Was kind of tall,

Had a scar Somewhere around here.

Does that ring a bell Of any kind?

No.

Now, he ransacked oliver's Office before he shot him.

Any idea What he was looking for?

You know, love letters, Things like that.

The reason I ask,

You know, you hear sometimes

That doctors have flings With their patients,

And patients sometimes Have husbands or wives

And things like that.

Now, did oliver Have those kinds of flings?

If he did, I think I would've heard about it.

He would've been dismissed.

- how long was he with you? - seven years.

He came to me Right after his internship

For specialized training In the field.

His skills were evident Straightaway,

And I offered him staff. He'd been with me ever since.

- what about his personal life? - I can't help you there.

Our relationship Was purely professional.

This whole thing Is so incredible.

It's just So very, very terrible.

I'm sorry, mrs. Clossen, To bring you news like that.

It's a hell of a shock, Lieutenant.

What is it, stavros?

- can't you tell? - tell what?

I'm on a diet.

Dr. Mumford's high-protein, No-nosh, 60-day regimen.

I been on it For five days, lieutenant.

Doctor said at which time,

There should be A noticeable weight loss.

Well, what do you see?

Paul malloy.

Right on.

All right. I don't get it, stavros.

Why are you showing me A picture of paul malloy?

Well, paulson, With the identikit,

Worked it out with that nurse From the clossen medical center.

That's the excited guy That was looking for dr. Oliver,

Paul malloy, the pusher.

Pauly, baby.

Pauly, I been waiting And waiting and waiting

And waiting for you.

All right, get that print They lifted

Off oliver's watch yesterday.

Pull malloy's prints, And if we got a match,

Let's see him talk his way Out of this one.

- they match. - you pulled the sheet?

Of course.

- it matched the print? - wasn't tough.

There were over 20 points Of identification,

Not to mention The identical diagonal scar.

It was no problem.

Stavros.

Yes, sir.

Oh, yeah.

You kidding?

It takes the fat off In the right places.

- it shows, huh? - uh.

Sorry, captain.

Guess who.

Paul malloy.

Paul malloy. Any doubts?

Not if we're talking about the Paul malloy who deals cocaine.

Cocaine, heroin, you name it.

We didn't get him On a drug charge.

How long we been looking for him Now, three years?

You know what we got him on? Homicide. Murder one.

How's that hit you, baby?

Now, that's the way I get high.

Hey, rizzo, get in here.

Whose homicide We talking about?

Dr. Jefferson oliver's Homicide, you know.

Malloy was in a sweat Looking for the doctor--

Paul malloy. Bring him in. I want to talk to him.

Right.

Well, maybe he was just Looking for the doctor.

- how do you know he iced him? - because lo and behold...

There's malloy's thumbprint,

Boop, right on The doctor's watch.

- I couldn't be happier. - oh, moscowitz.

To what do we owe This pleasure of a visit?

Sort of a bizarre sense Of curiosity on my part.

I want to see your expression

When I give you the results Of dr. Oliver's autopsy.

Now, there's an opening line That strikes fear.

- shoot. - okay.

One--dr. Oliver's Nasal membranes were a mess.

He was a heavy user of cocaine.

A skilled surgeon Sailing along on coke?

Not exactly the kind of guy I'd want for an incision. So?

Two--the bullet Entered the chest cavity

And nicked The hepatic artery,

But caused Virtually no bleeding.

In other words, It didn't kill him.

Hey, what do you mean, It didn't kill him?

The doctor was a classic Textbook stiff,

And I've got the guy Who stiffed him.

Three--official Cause of death,

And I got no choice In this, theo,

Natural causes, Presumably a coronary.

You know the law Better than I do.

Can you nail your suspect For murder

If he shot a man Who's already dead?

Hey, hey, that's the expression I expected--

Wretched frustration.

Hippocrates, beat it, huh?

The m.E.'s report Is very specific.

The bullet caused Minimal hemorrhaging,

A clear indication That dr. Oliver had just died

When he was shot.

I can't charge malloy With murder. Sorry.

Okay. What can we Bust him for?

Nothing that's gonna put him Where you said you wanted him,

Punching out license plates Until the turn of the century.

Who is this guy?

Some big-time Narcotics dealer.

The doc would have to have The world's biggest habit

To be buying from malloy.

Or maybe he was selling To malloy. Huh?

Ripping off these hospitals, These medical-supply houses,

Picking up this Pharmaceutical cocaine.

Why not? Phony prescriptions, Things like that.

I think I'll have crocker Check on it.

Or maybe malloy Wanted a new look

And the doc wouldn't agree,

Or he tried grafting over His fingerprints and failed.

I remember how mad That made mickey rooney

In baby face nelson.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Now, malloy doesn't know

That the doctor Was technically dead, right?

So he must think That we got him cold.

Otherwise, why rip up The office?

Why did he shoot him?

I got to get something Out of this malloy.

Too many things Are bothering me.

Hello, lieutenant.

What are you doing here, Crawford?

At my labors,

Representing the legal interests Of mr. Malloy.

- what's the charge, anyway? - why don't you tell him, pauly?

The charge is what, theo? I didn't quite hear you.

Well, I'm sure You been briefed.

Your client here was seen Looking for dr. Oliver,

And two minutes later, Dr. Oliver was found shot dead

And pauly's thumbprint

Found in A most incriminating location.

I still didn't hear a charge.

I'd say it was your move, Counselor.

What kind of a move Would you suggest?

Well, how about a full Confession, to begin with?

After that, motives, Other people involved.

The whole works.

And the more we get, The more we give.

Stavros, get ready To take a statement.

Hold it.

Now, we've done a lot Of business in the past, theo,

And I've always found you To be forthright.

And equitable and--

Let's leave it At forthright, shall we?

Now, why haven't you Mentioned the charge?

What's the charge, theo? Say it out loud.

A man is shot And lying in a morgue.

The corpse is shot, Lieutenant.

I called the morgue.

When they told me the cause Of death was listed as natural,

I asked a few questions.

Everybody down there Loves to talk about this one.

- rizzo. - yeah.

Take this creep and lock him In the detention center.

Lieutenant.

There'll be other charges, Crawford,

And they'll be coming shortly.

Nothing, I suspect, With a very high bail.

Don't sweat it, malloy.

- now, about the roster-- - excuse me, captain.

Yeah.

Lieutenant, most of Oliver's friends were doctors.

No rumble of any bad blood Between them.

Oliver liked the ladies, but he Didn't have much time for them.

Are you listening, lieutenant?

The only thing of any interest In oliver's apartment

Was some canceled checks.

One a month To an isabella ibara.

- who's she? - ex-wife.

- the notation was for alimony. - oh? And where is she?

We're looking for her.

First thing in the morning, Me and armus.

Aw, frank. We got malloy.

We don't have him.

I can't stand it.

Wonder what's going on Between him and the doc.

Coke isn't the only thing this Guy was into, I guarantee you.

He must've carried at least 50 pounds of heroin

In his saddlebags Through the years.

Well...

Yeah? You want me to have supper With you, moscowitz?

Oh, yes, I'm free tonight.

Now, we go on the premise that Oliver was a snowbird, right?

A heavy user of cocaine.

So, going ahead With the autopsy,

At the pyloric valve, Distally, traces of...

Tritophine.

My dear dr. Moscowitz,

It's my hope that You'll enjoy your supper.

After that, would you tell me What you're talking about, okay?

Well, it's a very Esoteric thing,

But I remember that-- Well, I had to go to the books

To jog the keppela little--

There's a class of drugs Called tritophines.

They're antithetical to cocaine.

Taken a little while before Or after or during

The ingestion of cocaine, They can cause death.

They elevate The automatic nervous system

To the point where the heart Can't tolerate it anymore,

Especially a heart that's not One of your niftiest hearts

- to begin with. - so it stops.

- so it stops. - so we got a homicide.

That's your department.

All I'm saying is that oliver Didn't die a natural death.

So someone helped him To an unnatural death,

We have a homicide,

And that, my dear dr. Moscowitz, Is my department already.

Ehh.

Death by poisoning.

Someone with A knowledge of medicine

- murdered the good doctor oliver. - someone who really knew him...

Knew he snorted coke, Who got to him before malloy.

- morning, gentlemen. - is that it?

C17h21no4.

Pharmaceutical cocaine,

Manufactured predominantly

By one swiss And one american firm.

Harder than anything for A doctor to get his hands on.

Nobody at dr. Clossen's clinic Has in suspicious amounts.

Doesn't look like oliver Was selling to malloy.

I don't get it, frank. Pauly's not a hit man.

And he's got to be desperate To kill this dr. Oliver.

So it wasn't cocaine,

There's got to be A lot of something at stake.

Well, since malloy's Not charged with murder,

Can we get back to The doctor's other death?

I mean, that's the homicide That's still open.

- anything else on the doc? - he was a hard worker...

Went out with a normal Cross section of ladies,

And took a trip From time to time.

- trip? - yeah.

He and clossen Went fishing, that's all.

How'd you find out about it?

I was checking out oliver's Appointment calendar, okay,

And two weeks ago, There was this five-day gap,

So I asked his secretary How come.

She said he and clossen Canceled all their appointments,

Rescheduled them for later, And left town.

- to where? - she didn't say.

She didn't know. She wasn't about to tell me.

- very protective lady. - what's the point, theo?

It's very spur-of-the-moment, Isn't it?

Doctor canceling appointments.

It's not the way they usually Plan vacations, and, crocker.

Yes, sir.

Good morning.

Morning, lieutenant.

Good morning.

Morning, captain.

- mr. B, I-- - shut up, malloy, and listen.

You know, so far, you're One of the luckiest bunglers

In the city of new york.

Beating a murder rap Because of a heart attack.

Yes, sir.

I wouldn't know where to start

If I were to try To get my money back

With you locked up, would I?

I'm not so sure I'd know, either.

I searched in oliver's office, Except for the safe.

I'm sure the police Have been through that safe.

If they'd have found the money Or the coke in there,

I would've heard about it.

And that goes for dr. Oliver's Car and apartment, I assume?

You're the one who set up The deal with oliver.

Was he in this alone?

I thought so.

Well, I think You're stupid, malloy.

What did oliver Expect to get out of this?

I doubt if he was gonna run away

And abandon The practice of surgery

Just to beat us out of 200,000.

He would've made A nice profit, anyway.

Of course I think He might've had a partner

Who double-crossed him,

Somebody who's got the coke And my money.

But if it was his partner Pulled a double cross,

Oliver would've Told me his name,

We both Would've gone after him.

Hey, that heart attack Just didn't save my neck.

It saved somebody else's neck Too, huh?

Somebody you have to Go after, malloy.

Now, I understand That oliver's boss,

Dr. Michael clossen,

Just paid off over 100,000 To mickey rich.

The loan shark?

Just run with What I've told you, malloy.

Maybe it's worth something...

Maybe not.

And, malloy...

While you are running,

Run with a little terror In your life, you know?

Tritophine? Administered how?

Well, my m.E. Suspects

That it was dissolved in A few ounces of whiskey

Found in his stomach.

The bottle was found In his desk,

But the glass was missing.

And you consider it homicide.

Heh heh. You don't seem Surprised to find out

That dr. Oliver Was a user of cocaine.

Ah, well, poor jeff Drove himself very hard.

I'm not surprised He needed some sort of jolt.

Yes. Do you?

No. I get my jolt From collecting,

Especially battles.

That's borodino You're looking at there,

With typical soldiers From each side.

Fascinating strategy Napoleon used.

My hospital...

What sort of an investigation Can we expect

As a result of this first death, So to speak, of poor jeff?

Yes, doctor. Well, you know Whoever killed poor jeff

Had a knowledge of medicine,

So that means we have to Check out your entire staff,

Especially those who were In contact with him

Or could've slipped him The drug

During those several hours Before his death.

Including me.

I only left the hospital An hour before his death.

Yes, including you, doctor.

But I really need your help.

You see, I know that you two Had a special relationship,

That he was your protege,

That he probably talked to you About his friends,

His problems, his love life.

Did he?

Never. Mostly we discussed Surgical procedures.

Oh, well, how about That trip you took?

- trip? - yeah, that...

That trip you took A few weeks ago.

You want to talk about Things like that?

Especially about Things like that.

Oh. Well, jeff and I Left the country.

We did a cosmetic operation On the wife of very wealthy man.

Oh, well, isn't it usual

For the patient To come to the doctor?

Lieutenant, I've been Taking a bath in the market.

You want to finish it off For me?

I got the picture.

Surgery in europe, Cash in the pocket,

And let the irs boys Work it out, right, doctor?

- so where'd you go? - bogota, colombia.

Bogota.

Ever see that man before? Paul malloy?

No. No, never.

Excuse me.

Dr. Clossen. Oh, yes. Yes, he is.

- lieutenant, it's for you. - thank you.

- yeah. - yeah, this is crocker.

Oliver's ex-wife, Isabella ibara,

- we found her. - where is she now?

She was at the morgue viewing The remains of her ex-husband.

And now?

Well, she had to fill out Some forms to see the body,

And we have an address on it-- 1212 96th street. Got it?

Got it, crocker. Thanks.

Lieutenant, This irs matter,

I hope you don't construe that

As an admission Of some wrongdoing.

Doctor. Where was Napoleon at, borodino?

Well, I'm like him.

I got enough problems on My hands with my own battles.

Oh, incidentally, Did he win that war?

Yes. Led directly To the capture of moscow.

Great. I hope I get that lucky.

Yes, but, lieutenant,

There was waterloo Waiting for him after that.

So was josephine.

Miss isabella ibara?

I'm lieutenant kojak.

Your landlady told me I could find you in here.

You were married To dr. Oliver, right?

Gin, please. Gin.

Gin.

He's dead. Read the papers.

Yeah. How long Were you married to him?

nada por nada.

Nothing for nothing.

I lost my alimony, lieutenant. I got to be practical.

Yeah.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Don't lead me in With a 20, lieutenant.

Start with a 50. We keep it there. No ups.

Here's your man.

I came here ten years ago,

A student exchange From central america

To learn to be a nurse.

Jeff--he was a student in Medical school to be a doctor.

We fell in love, And we got married.

- how long did it last? - four years.

He kicked me out.

Why?

Why? Because He became a doctor,

A very fine And successful doctor.

And who needs some woman Who looks like a gypsy

And wears tight dresses And has no...

No hips? That's why.

- I see. - gin.

Well, tell me, why does A woman get kicked out,

Goes pays her final respects To the kicker?

Come on. I loved him once,

And we stayed friends. That's all.

We've been living in Two different worlds.

Oh, yeah?

Follow me.

You hang out in a...

In a junkie haven.

Your ex-husband Was sniffing coke,

Then he gets shot By a known dope peddler.

Isabella, that's not what You'd call a different world.

Look, I know You got friends here.

I know you do work for them From time to time,

And that's okay.

You want me to put them on The routine bust list,

- we can be an awful pain-- - no.

Jeff and me, we got Hooked on coke years ago.

We work sometimes 48 hours Without sleep.

But you must pay for it, So he started pushing it too.

You will do anything To stay on your feet

Or for money, lieutenant, When you're a resident.

It is a lousy way For young doctors

To learn their ethics in life.

Why did he keep pushing The cocaine?

I mean, he was making Lots of money.

- what'd he do with it? - you know.

They trap you, The big pushers, the top man.

Six years ago, a man Came to jeff and said

He wanted to buy $50,000 worth of coke.

Jeff's pusher sold it to jeff For 30,000 on credit.

No cash. You know the reason.

Mm-hmm. A set-up, right?

He was robbed of the coke, $30,000 to pay off,

10%-a-month interest.

You know, you never win.

You turn around years later, And you owe them more.

Maybe he was looking To put together

That great big last deal, You know, get him off his back.

Look, isabella, did he ever Talk about stealing cocaine

From the hospital Or anything like that?

He tried. It was impossible.

Uhh.

Here.

Here.

Have breakfast in bed, okay?

Okay.

Oh, one more thing

Before you tuck yourself Into bed tonight.

Who was the good doctor In debt to?

You ever hear of a man Named paul malloy?

- what is this? - where is it?

- where is what? - the cash, the cocaine.

- I don't know-- - my money. 200 gs.

I know what you're gonna say.

Big shot like you dealing In coke, ridiculous, huh? Bull.

I got politicians on my list,

And they ain't even in hock To loan sharks like you are.

Or were before You double-crossed dr. Oliver.

Please. That's very valuable.

You double-cross Your partner if you want.

But not if it Double-crosses me.

Wait, wait, wait.

You think that I am dealing In cocaine with dr. Oliver?

That doesn't make any sense.

I couldn't afford to Put myself in the position

Of having him or someone Like you come after me

For the risk of a double cross.

Maybe you were gonna kill him. I don't know, and I don't care.

His heart gave out, And that was that for him,

But not for you and not for me. Now give.

Come on. I got other people On my back.

It's in my vault in my bank.

I can't do anything about that Till tomorrow morning.

Not good enough.

Then shoot me.

You going to be stupid, Or you want to work this out?

Now listen, I'll pick you up

At hubert and greenwich In the morning

At 9:30, all right?

We'll take the tunnel, Go over to new jersey.

I have a vault there Under another name.

Okay, doc, But don't hit on me.

- it's your life. - oh, I understand.

These other people--

- they can't know about me. - they made a good guess.

Then you tell them They were wrong.

Tell them that it was Anybody else.

They'll get their money. They don't care.

And if you do that,

I'll give you 25,000 extra Just for you.

Okay.

That's for the trip You put me through, doc.

Don't let it happen again.

Michael, what's going on?

Who is that man? What's he doing here?

I'm going to call the police.

Robin, no.

Michael, are you all right?

Yes, yes.

Well, who was that man? What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing that will touch you.

I love you too much For that. I do.

I know that now more than ever.

I do. Robin, please.

Trust me.

Love me too.

15 credit-card charges To 15 different midtown hotels,

All in the last six months.

Now, what does that sound like Dr. Oliver was up to, frank?

Maybe he was Robbing the towels

And was afraid to go back.

He had an apartment. Why different hotels?

If he used his credit cards,

He wasn't afraid Of being identified, sure.

He was worried about The other person.

When you check it out, crocker, If these rooms have double beds,

Get a description of the woman He was trying to protect.

This guy was something.

A doctor who gets murdered twice

Possibly involved Wholesaling cocaine

And maybe playing footsie With somebody's wife.

You know what my doctor Does for kicks?

He plays the musical saw.

You say dr. Clossen Collects bottles?

Battles. This lady, If married, has a husband.

She and dr. Oliver

Were very cautious About this husband.

Knew enough about medicine To knock him off with drugs.

- promising? - very promising.

But then so was Frozen chop suey pizza.

- frozen chop suey pizza. - yeah.

My wife's brother's idea.

How could it fail? It combined The worst of three cultures.

Disaster.

Somebody say Frozen chop suey pizza?

- you wanted something? - yeah.

I checked out That isabella ibara.

What she told you Seems pretty accurate.

She had lost Her nursing license

Because She was swiping morphine.

No. I just got A bad twitch, frank.

You know, a lot of bums saw me Talking to her about malloy.

You get in touch with rizzo And saperstein.

Put a complete surveillance On this malloy.

I want to make sure that He's not making a move on her.

Yes, sir.

Frozen chop suey pizza.

Now we wait.

There he goes.

- you weren't followed? - I wasn't followed.

Did you do what I asked?

I told my people You were out of it.

Maybe you were followed. You're the amateur, doc.

I can assure you, malloy,

I've been as cautious About all of my arrangements

As though I were operating On my own heart.

You see, I put up the capital In central america from my fee.

Dr. Oliver actually purchased The cocaine.

He carried it back on him, he Made the arrangements with you.

All I did was switch it For milk sugar

Shortly before you arrived. Oliver never even knew.

What if he didn't have His heart attack?

- we both would've gone after you. - see, it wasn't a heart attack.

The police did stumble on That fact, but...

No matter. I defy them To blame it on me.

You killed him. Yeah, between The time I picked up the phone,

He called and got back.

Generals and surgeons, Mr. Malloy.

Both must be masters At perfect timing.

You see, my target Was all of the cocaine

And all of the money.

Oliver dead could never reveal My involvement,

ecco:a maneuver as brilliant

As scipio's Forced march at night

Which led to the defeat of Hannibal at the gates of rome.

Except for me.

Except for you.

Paul malloy.

Yeah, well, Now he'll never tell us

Why he pulled the trigger On oliver.

He's sure not gonna tell us Who pulled the trigger on him.

I can't get over it. You know between them...

Rizzo and saperstein Have 18 years as detectives.

Yet they get sucked in By some junkie that malloy hired

To wear his coat And drive his car.

Yeah, well, malloy Outsmarted himself more than us.

You know, maybe he picked up The junk in colombia

- and sold it to malloy. - theo...

It's the poisoning of Dr. Oliver that's important now.

You're beating a dead horse With malloy and the cocaine.

Look, we rule out the cocaine As a motive in oliver's killing.

So what are we left with?

A jealous husband Who knows his medicine.

Lieutenant, oliver Was playing with one dame.

There's no doubt about it, But he was very careful.

He took these hotel rooms, But she must've sneaked up

Because we have No identification on her

From any source whatsoever.

What about the list of Dr. Oliver's female patients?

Any women Married to doctors on it?

Captain, nobody He's operated on lately,

- except for his boss' wife. - mrs. Clossen?

What would he operate On her for? She's a knockout.

Lieutenant, According to my report,

The lady is 51 years of age.

You're kidding.

Dr. Oliver and mrs. Clossen.

52 to be precise, lieutenant. I'm not embarrassed by it.

You see, I have, For a little while at least,

The wisdom of age And the appearance of youth.

Well, dr. Oliver Did a magnificent job.

Did he work from photographs Of you when you were younger?

No. Actually, I don't think I looked very much like this

When I was 30.

Jeff added A few touches of his own--

The nose and in through here.

It used to make me laugh, the Way it tilted off to one side.

I'm telling you all of this, Lieutenant,

Because, well, I'm certain That you can find out

Anything you want to If you want to.

But tell me, lieutenant,

Why am I suddenly the center Of all of this attention?

Why are you volunteering All of this information?

So I won't be Digging into your past?

Oh, lieutenant, Dig all you like.

I have been. Let's see...

The midtown motel And the parker motel lodge,

Ravenswood hotel, The broadway hotel.

All within 15 minutes Of the hospital.

Checked in the name of Dr. Oliver, mid-afternoon.

Well, I'm afraid That I don't understand.

Mrs. Clossen, It wouldn't be difficult

To check on your whereabouts During these precise times.

Surely, lieutenant,

That's no reason to go into This sort of speculation now.

Isn't there? Your husband Could've had a private detective

Following either one of you. Shall I ask him?

No. No, I doubt if my husband Ever suspected

That a woman my age, Married to him for 20 years,

Could be so...

I'm sure there must be A perfect word for it in italian

Or some other language.

"Lusty," lieutenant? It's the best I can do.

Let's just say that it was a...

A rather odd side effect Of my new youthful appearance.

But, really, lieutenant,

You are on the wrong track About my husband.

Am I?

Your husband's Quite a collector.

These beautiful and rare things.

Who suggested the operation?

Michael did.

You know something I find very strange?

I mean, your husband claims to Be in such financial pressures,

You know, wall street And all that.

And yet I see Everything's intact

The cabinets are filled.

They're all symbols To michael.

Success, order,

Status, respect.

He couldn't bear to part with A single one of them.

Including yourself, Mrs. Clossen?

Now look, if you can help us Find dr. Oliver's murderer,

You will help, won't you?

My telephone number In case you want to reach me.

Unless, of course, You want to talk to me now.

Did you see the lady?

We were right. She was Having a fling with dr. Oliver.

If she knows anything that ties It into her husband's murder,

He's not talking.

All I need is one big number For bingo, frank.

- how about c-25? - what does that mean?

Caliber .25. That's the slug They took out of malloy.

Left twist, three lands.

Very obscure.

It's hardly what you'd expect If it were a gangland killing.

More like a gun a collector Might've acquired, right,

Years ago. Impossible to trace.

Probably at the bottom Of the river.

Dr. Clossen killing malloy? Help.

I thought we had him nicely Packaged as a jealous husband.

Now he's back Somehow tied up with malloy

- in the cocaine trade? - lieutenant.

What is it?

Lab thought You might like to see this.

Malloy was wearing those Crepe-soled shoes

When he was killed,

And these particles Were wedged into the rubber.

"Analysis indicates fragments To be an alloy of tin and lead

With microscopic traces Of red paint."

That stuff couldn't have Stayed in his shoes long.

What's tin and lead And red all over?

Soldiers. Tin soldiers.

I got it.

Something happened to those Battlefields of clossen's.

His wife even picked up A broken soldier from the floor

- while I was there. - malloy at clossen's?

He claimed He never even saw him.

Theo, could you get your hands On one of those broken soldiers

- to send to the lab? - come on, crocker.

I'll do the talking And you swipe the soldier.

Robin, I canceled Two appointments.

This is a lot more important

Than one of your stupid Breast jobs.

Well, what is it?

That man that was here Last night--

- did you hire him? - what on earth for?

To shoot jeff oliver.

I don't believe what you said.

That doesn't make The slightest sense.

Jeff oliver was dying Of an overdose of drugs.

Why on earth shoot him?

But how could you know He was dying?

That's not logical, michael,

Unless you're the one Who gave him the overdose.

Robin, you're twisting words.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch you?

- after last night-- - oh, michael...

You are such a liar. Last night Was the payoff, wasn't it,

Only I wasn't supposed To see that man.

I wasn't supposed to ask Any questions.

I wasn't supposed to think.

What in the hell Are you talking about?

All of a sudden, you tell me You love me again.

And therefore, I'm supposed to love you again.

Stand by you

And tell the police anything You want me to tell them

Or not tell them anything You want me to tell them.

My god, michael,

You slept with me for the First time in all these months

Just for my silence.

- that's not true. - yes, it is too true.

Otherwise, why all of a sudden After all the years

Of being just a part of this Living room,

Of all of your things?

You little...

You little what?

I'm a 52-year-old woman

Shoved into a new face And a new body,

Restored like one of your Precious antiques.

Let go of me. Let go of me.

Your things.

Your objects.

- robin. Robin. - all like--

Have you Gone out of your mind?

Why on earth would I kill Jeff oliver?

Oh, come off it, michael. Because jeff was my lover...

And you knew And you couldn't stand it.

I don't believe you.

You and jeff?

Oh, come on, michael. You knew it.

You hired a private detective To follow us.

- that's who that man was. - robin, please.

That man had nothing to do With you and jeff oliver.

Well, maybe we will just let The police decide this.

Operator. Operator.

Michael, you did. You killed jeff because of me.

I know that now.

Robin, please listen to me.

That's not why he died. It had nothing to do with you.

I didn't even know about You and jeff.

But to go to the police now For the wrong reason,

That's more than I can bear.

Jeff is dead All because of me.

I can't stand-- I can't stand this.

- I can't stand this. - robin. Robin.

Let go of me. Let go of me, you--

- oh, dr. Clossen, I presume. - I'm busy, lieutenant.

Wait a minute. I thought you weren't leaving.

You have no right To barge in here.

Well, I really came to see Mrs. Clossen.

She's dying.

Save her.

Hurry up.

Yeah, this is crocker. Get an ambulance over here...

To 412 east river drive, Apartment 4c. Hurry.

She's not breathing.

Lieutenant.

Doctor.

I think the battle's over.
