Okay, so I get
A little twitchy, that's all.

It's all this waiting.
Where is he, richie, huh?

Where is he?

Uh, well, be careful, tommy.

I wouldn't want you
To scratch on the break.

Oh, ho, ho.

Hey, listen, why don't
You finish the game.

I'll be back.
Watch my coat.

- okay?
- I don't have a lot of time.

All right.
Everybody's in here.

You'll be at the barbecue
Saturday, george?

Oh, zelda, I wouldn't
Miss that barbecue

For a bag of diamonds.

Bring your accordion,
Don't forget.

Okay, miltie,
Show 'em what you got.

I knocked them
Out of the settings.

Nobody's gonna trace them
That way.

Come on, I gotta get back.

Why, what's the hurry?

Come on, come on,
I thought we had a deal.

We got a deal, richie?

Oh, man, we got a deal.

Okay, doc, give him the money.

Now hold it,
Just hold it, huh?

Now you say the lady that
Belongs to these has no idea?

She has no idea?

Come on, now, will you?
I told richie.

Mostly she sleeps.

I've been nursing her
For 11 years.

She sits there and nods.

She don't even know
That calvin coolidge is dead.

She don't even know
That she owns that stuff

So how's she gonna know
That it's gone?

- why don't you tell him?
- I told him.

Take out your share, doc,
If you're gonna take a walk.

No, I'll stay.

A hundred thousand.
Count it if you want.

Oh, why wouldn't I believe
Good businessmen like you?

I trust you.

What's with you, doc?

You want some drama
Or something?

We got enough glitter here
To double our money.

I told you,
It's all the waiting.

Now how long before foster gets
A guy up here from miami?

I'm gonna make a call right
Now, sweetheart.

He'll have his man on a plane
With the money

In a couple of minutes.

It'll probably be
Teddy mills.

You know the guy that brought
The cocaine for us last month?

Teddy just grabbed a cab,
Lieutenant.

You can pick him up
On the next block.

Let's go.

What is this, crocker?

The feds tipped us off

Teddy mills is on a delivery run
To new york.

And he ends up
At a church bazaar.

Cocaine and communion.
Do you figure that connection?

I thought he'd head uptown
Over there on second.

What's he doing here?

Could be some flim-flam to
Shake anybody who's following.

Go take a look.

I'll cover gil.

Excuse me, I'm looking
For the meeting rooms.

Downstairs in some building.

Oh, probably in that building
In the basement.

That's where
They have sunday school.

Sunday school?

Listen, if you want
To volunteer for anything

You could give us
A hand with this...

Thing...Weighs a ton.

Sure, ha ha.

Ah, it's not too heavy.

Ah, there you go.

Thanks.

Did you see that,
A gun in his belt?

Excuse me.
I'm sorry.

- that's all right.
- that man.

What did he want to know?
Anything...Oh, excuse me.

- I'm a detective.
- okay.

- manhattan south.
- well, he had a gun.

- is he one of your men?
- no.

Well, he asked me where
The meeting rooms were

And I told him
In the basement over there.

Well, thanks.
Oh, would you keep this quiet?

I mean, there's no sense
Getting everybody disturbed.

- thank you.
- that's okay.

He's gotta be in there.

Okay, mills,
This is the police.

I gotta get outta here!

Crocker, get upstairs
With stavros

And check the outside.

Gil, you stay here with me.

A couple of hundred thousand,
For what?

What's it all about, alfie?

All about ice.

What happened?
Where's the money?

Cops.
They got everything.

Well, maybe somebody saw you.
Get away from here.

- I'll call ya.
- yeah, yeah, all right.

Gil weaver.

Is that right?

Sir, I told you.
It was manhattan south.

...And the guy from safes
And lofts came over,

You know, garson, the skinny guy
Who never sweats?

Well, he takes one look
At that pile of ice

And he starts to sweat.
Those rocks are real.

None of them match fliers
For missing gems?

No, not a one.

Garson said some of them were
Cut in some pretty old styles.

Maybe 50, 60 years old.
If we only had the settings.

Now who's missing a million
Dollars worth of old ice, mac?

Garson said
They were a million?

Close to it.
I'll let you know exactly

As soon as I can set up

An appointment
With the appraiser.

What kind of front
Is that for a buy?

A church bazaar.
That's sacrilegious, isn't it?

Well, the people
That stuck around

Long enough to leave
Their names, I mean,

They don't exactly make up
A list of hot suspects.

You got two priests,
A couple of nuns,

Some school kids,
Fund-raising volunteers,

Solid, local businessmen.

Well, somebody
In that civic-minded bunch

Was fund-raising 200,000
In a highly uncivic way.

Hey, you did a good job, gil.

You're the officer of record,

And, like that,
You'll get the credit.

- thank you, lieutenant.
- you got it, baby.

Ah, you should have seen 'em.

There must have been 50, hundred
Stones all over the place.

Just sparkling and dancing
In my eyes.

- you know something?
- what?

You put 'em all to shame,
Sybil.

Never doubt it, baby.

♪ oh, we're the boys

- hey, what's shakin', gil?
- how you been?

Fine, couldn't be better.

Got me a loan office,
Good little business.

You mind if I park it here?

So I can practice
Some fancy lines

On this lovely uptown lady.

- I'm sybil washburne.
- hi, I'm richie linden.

- hi.
- hey, come on, you two.

Hey, you are
The man of the hour.

Pictures in the paper,
One certified hero.

One certified
Sweet-talking hero.

Gil, what a thing you did,
Recovered...

What did the paper say?
200,000 in cash?

And a million in diamonds?
Are you gonna get a promotion?

Maybe, I don't know.

Well, whatever,
It's gonna grow a lot of hair.

There'll be some people
Who want to talk to you.

What kind of hair?
What kind of people?

- what are you talking about?
- me, I got a leaky mouth.

Ah, don't shuck me, rich.

What are you trying
To say to me?

Just that you are in a very
Good position to score big.

You are the man
With the diamonds, aren't you?

Ah, you're with
The first team, baby.

I know.

Gil, what I just laid on you,
That's between friends?

Don't you know?

Hey, give me
A call tomorrow, okay?

Friends?

How can you call a punk like
That your friend, huh?

He's garbage.

We grew up together,
Lieutenant.

Is that so?

I grew up with
Bloody jake paavo.

- so?
- we used to play ball together.

Linden to weaver,
The best long pass combination

Erasmus high ever had.

Richie used to dodge
Those tacklers

Like a kid hustling hubcaps.

I got news for ya.
He's still hustling them.

Only it's more
Than hubcaps this time.

Hey, lieutenant,
I like richie.

Gil, what am I holding here,
Huh?

Yellow sheets, kiddo.

Hey, he's got
A legit business now.

Yeah?

Well there's nothing legit
About coming to you,

The one special brother
Who happens to be

The cop of record
In a diamond heist.

Who used to throw footballs
With him.

Who's trying to smoke out

Whether you're on the take
Or not.

Well, I'm not sure what
He wants, maybe nothing.

And forget the record,
He's straight, I'm telling ya.

I see, all of a sudden
This bum

Opens a corner loan office
And that makes him straight?

I mean, do you believe that?
Or do you want to believe it?

Well, I'm not 100% sure,

Or else why would I come
Talk to you?

But all he said

Was that I was in
A good position

To make a big score.

That I was the man
With the diamonds.

Now what does that mean?
Maybe I'm paranoid.

Captain mcneil says hello to me

And sometimes I wonder
What he really means.

You talk to richie.

If he wants you to play some
Inside game with the diamonds,

Ask for, uh, 50 grand.

But he couldn't handle
That much, could he?

By himself, never.

Then maybe we'll find out
Who these people are

That can make you a big man.

Find out where these rocks
Came from in the first place.

Then we're talking about
My crossing richie, right?

Weaver, don't you see?

If you heard wrong,
It all folds up,

And richie's got nothing
To worry about.

The question was, lieutenant,

If he's trying to make a deal,
Are we gonna cross him?

Well, we're not gonna give
Richie diamonds,

If that's what you mean.

Baubles, bangles and beads,
Baby.

Paste from the property room.

A couple of handfuls
Of out of date evidence

From old con jobs.
You know, to flush out the rats.

- they'll waste him.
- no, they won't.

We'll pick him up as soon
As he leads us to the others.

- now will you stop crying?
- hey, wait a minute, okay?

Don't run my mind for me
About how I should feel.

I'm a cop.
I'm gonna do my job,

And that's all
You'll get from me, okay?

Come here!

Okay.

I, um, mentioned the sum.

The man said
We could proceed from there.

This the same man
We didn't catch?

Hey, you know better
Than that, gil.

Just like to know
Who I'm getting into bed with.

Let's just say
Me and some friends.

We got our own little set-up.

How'd you talk them
Into dealing with me?

I mean, we all brothers in this?

No, no, no,
I had to do a number for them.

I told them that
I knew this dude

Who was the officer of record
And my oldest buddy.

I said you'd have to take
The ice downtown in the morning

And have it appraised
And I'd hit on you there.

You wanted fifty grand,

And I had to make it look good
To get you off the hook,

And they said do it.

Then let's do it, rich.

Hey, you bet we will, baby.
You bet we will.

Like it was the old bomb,
Long, long, perfect.

Linden to weaver.
You dig?

Ha ha ha ha.
Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

They're all yours.

One pound of paste
And broken dreams.

Terrific.

Maybe he's shucking.
Maybe he won't even show.

No, he'll show.
Just do what he tells ya

And we'll tale him
After the heist

To wherever he delivers
The paste.

Come on.

No threats are being made,
Mr. Lampert.

I didn't come up here from miami

And my friend didn't come in
From chicago to threaten,

- you understand that.
- sure, I should hope not.

I mean, we've had a good
Relationship up until now.

My runner teddy dead.
Well, what are you gonna say?

One of the risks
Of the business.

I'll accept that.

I'll consider neither you nor
Your principals are responsible.

How could we be responsible?

I said I'll accept that!

The cops could have been tailing
Him for a hundred reasons.

Look, richie gave $50,000
To his buddy cop.

That's our good $50,000,
And our good faith in you.

All I ask is you be patient.

Patient?

Where do you chicken merchants
Get off?

We are out 200 grand!

Look, we're gonna get
The diamonds back,

Believe me, mr. Muttel.

Now what worries me, george,
Is the cops.

Suppose this is a trick.

Suppose they're trying to tail
Richie back to you guys...

And then to us?

We've worked it out
With richie.

Now, look, I know
You don't think we're pros.

But we've been doing
Pretty damn good until now.

Yeah, well this morning
You be perfect.

- now wait a minute.
- we'll be waiting here for you.

Pros?
These guys?

No way.

Lieutenant?
Weaver's on the inside now.

So, we shall look
At some pretty stones.

It's a nice way
To start the morning.

- I'll be a little while, sir.
- no pressure.

We shall look.

We shall see.

Hold it right there.

Just drop it in the heap, papa.

What the hell is this?

Now, no remarks of surprise,
Please.

Just let me see your best side,
Your back.

You want to turn around?
Thank you very much.

Now gentlemen, I, uh...

I suggest that you have
A bad case of dandruff

And now would be a very good
Time to scratch.

Grab your hair, brothers.
Especially you.

Thank you.
Very well done.

Now, I wouldn't turn around
Or come out

For at least five minutes.

Because I just might
Be by the door.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Cab!

- stavros.
- yep.

Cab license number
5048 thomas israel.

It's over by you now.

Got him.

Ah, just pull the cab over
There next to that restaurant.

Okay.

35th and second.

- what's the matter?
- glass!

Junk!
We've been robbed!

200,000 down the drain!

Now wait a minute, cool it.

- let's find out what happened.
- what happened?

What happened is we got
Ten cents worth of paste.

You think this
Was gonna fool me?

No!
Of course not!

Stop taking it out on us.

We're out nearly as much money
As you are now.

If anyone's fooling around
It's richie.

It's not me, it's not him.

What do we do?
Go talk to him?

Nobody goes near him!
Not until we know more.

You got the number where he is?

Why don't you move in,
Crocker.

- maybe you can hear some names.
- okay.

- richie?
- yeah, yeah, sure.

It's okay?

Yeah, we're working on it.

Now remember,
In case you're tailed,

You just stay away.

Yeah, right, right, look.
What about my cut?

I'll be at the club about six.
We'll work everything out.

No, no, I'm not going
Near the club.

Just call me there.

I'll tell you where
We'll meet after that.

Lieutenant, he's playing
It cool, killing time,

He said something about
Not going near the club.

Club?
What club?

Amateurs!

I should have left you
On your own.

Good buddy neighbors
With ambition.

And greed.

You two and richie.
I got the picture.

So have you got a tricky partner
In the woodpile or not?

What's he like?

I mean, is he gonna tell us
The cops stiffed us with paste

And then haul his tail outta
Here with all them good rocks?

- would he do that?
- look.

We've known him
For the last couple of years

- but anything's possible.
- you guys know nothing!

You got a fink in the operation
You take care of the problem!

Glass of milk, please.

You know, he could spend

The rest of the day
In there, lieutenant.

Why don't you get out.
You losing weight?

- yes, sir.
- you don't need that.

Now you get out,
Stick with crocker.

I'll go back, scrounge a couple
Of men to relieve ya,

And don't take your eyes
Off that attacheé case.

All right.

That's $25 on number six
In the fifth race.

I got it.
See you later.

Maybe we should
Just take our losses

And forget the whole thing, huh?

You're a dentist, doc.
You got something else.

Me, this is my whole business.

Now we'll talk to that cop
And we'll take it from there.

Whatever you say.

Tracy, tell rizzo to go down,
Stay on linden's tail.

You didn't pick him up?

He's being coy.

He didn't slip the diamonds
To anybody yet.

Maybe you want to go down,
Work the surveillance, too.

Oh, sure.

Maybe you want me to personally
Slap the cuffs on him.

Or if he runs, maybe I should be
The one to shoot him.

How much more mileage
Are you gonna want outta me?

Haven't I done enough
On this one?

More than enough.

Where's the 50 grand
From richie?

I signed it into property
Last night.

Here's the receipt.

Ok, get home, get a meal.

Why don't you go out with sybil?

Kojak, what is it?
Yeah?

All right, switch it in here
And try to trace it.

It's someone who's been
Calling for you.

No message, every ten minutes.
Hold that a minute.

Yeah?

Weaver, this is a friend
Of richie's.

I'm gonna respect your time,
Ask you one question.

Now did you pull the switch with
Our mutual acquaintance today?

- what was that?
- look, you got paid 50 grand.

Stop acting dumb.
What went down?

What's he talking about?

Well, I don't know
Who this is.

You gotta tell me more.

One of you two guys
Is ripping us off.

All we got in front of us
Is a lot of paste.

He delivered something
Already?

It's in front of me.

Now if you're playing games
With our 50 grand...

You never saw the money.
You still want the action.

What doest that do to richie?

We'll keep him
Under surveillance.

Now make up your mind.

I never got a penny.
Richie never showed.

What are you talking about?
Where's my money?

Maybe we can still deal.

We'll get back to ya.

Too quick to trace.
Okay, thanks.

Richie must have dumped
The stuff he got from you

In the cab,
Maybe with the driver.

Stupid of me.
When they call back...

Is that all
You're thinking of?

How richie faked you out?

You wanna know
What I'm thinking about?

I'm thinking about
How I faked him out.

This job stinks.

We're going to protect him.
Gil...

Hey, gil, I agree.
The job stinks for me, too.

But because of the danger
Of you getting hurt, not him.

Testing, and a one
And a two and a three.

Here we are, playing spy again,
Right, lieutenant?

Mind if I sit down?

Go ahead.

Your badge.

You wouldn't be one of those
Crafty cops, would you, gil?

Wired, I mean.

- make sure.
- ha, ha, ha.

Let's walk, huh?

Bike riding is good,
But my doc says...

If this is a tail job
We got going here,

I'm gonna know it
In two minutes flat.

- know it, friend.
- forget it.

He didn't show, huh?

Richie?
Uh-uh.

Then he's playing it real cool
With somebody else's 50 gs.

Gonna pretend you stuck him
With a lot of phony paste.

I never got nothing.
That's all I know.

Everybody's hurting.

I'm sure you want this wrapped
Up as soon as anybody.

Listen, man, I don't like
Sweating this out

And then have nobody show.

You want to try it again tonight
When I pick up the diamonds

From the appraiser, it's gonna
Cost you double.

100,000 biggies.

What do you think you got,
The crown jewels?

Listen, the appraiser fell
Down when he took a look at 'em.

You got over two million
In rocks there.

Well, I'm not gonna
Grab 'em and run.

I'm gonna check 'em out,
Take my time.

Okay.
Just come up with 100 thousand.

20 neat stacks of hundreds.

So I can split this jungle.

The force,
The whole lousy set-up.

I'll do it any way you want.

- getting to ya, huh?
- up to here.

We got a deal?

6:00 today.

There's a parking lot
Near my hotel.

Second and 35th.

Get the money.

All right, check every bank
In the city, fast.

I want a list of everybody
Who comes in this afternoon

And want a lot
Of hundred dollar bills.

You know, most banks
Have a record for themselves.

It shouldn't be too hard.
Go ahead.

The guy gil took a walk
With in the park?

I teletyped his description
To miami p.D.

The wired back no make,
Zip and zero, nada, nothing.

Okay.

When you get there
You're gonna have to do

A little song and dance.

Tell them the appraisal
Didn't get finished today.

Set up something
For tomorrow night.

Talk about the diamonds,
The money.

About ten minutes of you
Dealing to those bums,

That's what we need.

Terrific.

And I'm not gonna risk
A transmitter on you.

We'll set up a directional mic,

Pick up and record everything
That's said,

Get photographs
From across the street.

If it all goes okay,

We'll do the same for
The transaction tomorrow.

Hey, gil.

Let's go, rizzo.

You got a back door outta here?
Thanks.

Looks like we're gonna
Have to wait around.

Yeah, it looks that way.

- you did it?
- yeah.

They come through
With the money?

Yeah, they sure did.

Let's get going, we gotta meet
Weaver at 6:00.

The dentist wanted to back out.

I told him to shut up
Or I'd pull his teeth.

He's been knifed!
Get an ambulance.

Right.

This is kojak.
Five minutes.

That red light.

I don't like it.
Get me outta here.

Stall 'em,
I don't wanna get caught.

Okay, mister, get out
Of the car, and slowly.

First you run a red light
Then you scream in here.

What's your problem?

I got no problem.

- what's in the suitcase?
- that?

I don't know.

That was there when
I rented the car.

- it's not mine.
- uh-huh.

Check it out.

Car 723k.

723k.

Car 740 requests that you meet
Them at 17th and fifth.

The uniformed unit
Has apprehended

The subject
Of your surveillance.

He did what?

Attention all units.
This is lieutenant kojak.

The action is scrubbed.

A hundred thousand
For going through a red light?

This is a nightmare.
How did I get into this?

I thought you were
The big pros from miami.

I thought you had
All the answers.

The mouth.
Okay with the mouth, baby?

It's our money.
100,000 of our money.

We're into it a fortune.

Listen, you asked for this,
So grow up.

- what about foster?
- he's not gonna talk.

Yeah.

They'll sweat him
A day or two,

They got him for nothing.
He'll be out.

He'll call.
Hang around here, you'll see.

And when he does, tell him
I'll be back in chicago.

And if he ever gets another deal
With you guys,

Tell him include me out.

Well, sure, nehemiah foster
From miami,

Alias nate the nemish,
East side punk.

You have trouble
Sleeping nights, foster?

- how come?
- well, all these arrests

According to
The miami police department.

Receiving stolen property,
Narcotics.

Two convictions.
Misdemeanors.

How many years ago?
Six?

Huh.
You copped how many pleas?

I paid my debt, lieutenant.

Tell me something.

Tell me about
The one hundred grand

In the front seat of your car.

It's a land of miracles.

Were you making
A buy, nehemiah?

Of what?

Ice, baby, hot rocks.

Lieutenant, read your miranda,

Let me use the phone.

What we need here
Is some legal advice.

Theo.

Saperstein just called in.

Richie linden was knifed in
A theater arcade on 42nd street.

Detective weaver
Just went up to the hospital.

You put me here.

With lies.

Not me.
You put yourself here.

A sandlot buddy
For a finger job.

You used me, gilbert.

You stink.

You ain't nothing but
A white man in black face.

Okay, sure.

Who knifed you, richie?

What?

Make you a big man?

Pictures in the paper again?

Get another boost off of me?

You ain't real.

Gil?

What the hell is...

Foster say anything
About the hundred grand?

No, not a peep.
It's upstairs in property.

And foster'll be outta here
In 24 hours.

- what do you got?
- a list of nine people

Who asked for sizeable amounts
Of hundred dollar bills

From banks yesterday.
Foster's not on the list.

I don't think it's his money,
Crocker.

I don't think he'd walk away
From it that quick if it were.

Maybe he's afraid it's marked,
Maybe he doesn't really know

That much about
Where it came from.

Now make copies of this, okay?
You, me, stavros,

We'll split up the names
And check 'em out, like that.

See if we can tie any of these
Big withdrawals to richie,

Diamonds, foster, miami.
Anything like that, huh?

Come, let's stop a hat.

- mr. Lampert?
- yeah.

Police.

- you're george lampert, right?
- yeah, yeah.

Your wife said
I'd find you here.

What's your line of work,
Mr. Lampert?

Well, I'll tell you
What I got.

I got a couple pizzerias uptown
And a coffee shop,

And that's it.
Why?

Oh, I thought you said police.

Well, ah, what can I do
For you, lieutenant?

Well, yesterday you took a lot
Of tens and twenties and fifties

To the national security trust
On second avenue.

- yeah.
- changed 'em in $100 bills?

$23,000 worth, to be exact.

23 big ones,
That's a lot of pizza.

- well, why would you do that?
- I also collect coins.

- mostly european.
- how does that work?

Well, you see, I go in
And I take money out

Like I did yesterday.
I give it to my runner,

He goes over and gives it
To my representative,

He does the deal for me.

I mean, everybody does it,
Lieutenant.

It's perfectly legal.
I assure you that.

I'm sure you can prove

Everything you've told me,
Mr. Lampert?

Well, if you need
Any more information

Just call my accountants
And they'll...

They'll give you
All the information you want.

You might even win
A trip to switzerland.

I sure could use it.

Yeah, in this kind of weather
We both could.

This guy paul stern
Has a car agency.

He left for detroit last night,
So that's a blank, too.

What about your three?

One was out of town
In baltimore on business.

Then I spoke to
This 90-year-old lady.

She withdrew $12,000
In hundreds.

She was getting ready
For her annual trip to vegas.

You saw richie?

He's dead.

- well, I'm sorry.
- sure.

About what?
The case?

Hey, a man is dead
And that's always painful.

What more do you
Want me to say?

What more do you
Want me to do?

Go home.

Nah, I wanna finish,
Lieutenant.

I didn't go through this
For nothing.

Okay.

So what about the next name?

John ennis.
He's a dentist.

He withdrew $17,000
From a checking account.

That's a pretty good
Checking account.

Obviously you haven't gotten
A bill from a dentist lately.

Anyhow, he doesn't see why
He should explain anything.

- you check out his neighbors?
- yeah, not an unkind word.

He's happily married, nice wife,
8-year-old son.

Perennial member
Of the local civic club.

Club?

Richie mentioned a club,
Remember?

When he was on the phone?

This one's called
The acacia club.

Sure.

I found lampert in the park
Playing ball with some kids.

They were wearing
Acacia club t-shirts.

Funny how it keeps
Popping up, huh?

Clue me in, crocker.

It's a family thing,
That's all I know.

Solid citizens.

They co-sponsored
The church bazaar

- where we tried to grab teddy.
- you gotta be kidding.

Lieutenant,
A couple of years ago,

Richie comes to me one day,
Shows me this card,

Real proud.

First black man
In the acacia club.

Frank.

All right, check the rest
Of those names.

See who else
Belongs to this club.

Yes, sir.

Frank, help me get
A court order

For a wiretap on
The acacia club, huh?

Some of its members.

I think the kids
Would like it a lot.

I think you're right, dolly.

I guess I'll be seeing you
At the club tonight, won't I?

Sure, I wouldn't miss it.

Well, I've got a million
Things to do.

- so I'll talk to you later.
- see you tonight.

- bye.
- bye.

- hello?
- hello, jane?

- yes, who's this?
- it's me, dolly ennis.

Oh, hi, dolly.
How are things?

You'll never guess who was
At the club the other day.

Doreen.

She just wouldn't shut up
About her vacation.

Well, one thing I'm glad about

Is that she doesn't go to
My husband for her dental work.

If the acacia club was going
To start a talking league,

She'd be our champion player.
Ha ha.

Well, anyhow, the kids
Will be getting home soon.

I better get going.

Yeah, I've got a lot
Of things to do.

- I'll see you later, bye.
- bye.

There she goes again.

- hello?
- george?

This is ennis.
Anything new?

I didn't hear from foster yet.
Maybe he just split for miami.

But the cops got the money.
That's for sure?

- that's for sure.
- boy, this was a disaster.

Listen, you were in on
Three out of four good ones.

Now take your losses
And we'll do it again.

I'll have to think that over.

You hear anything new,
I'm staying home today.

Foster, he said foster.
They are connected.

753-5598.

That's the acacia club.

Yeah?
Okay, here.

- yeah?
- hey, lieutenant, did you hear?

That call is a killer,
Crocker.

For the dentist,
The pizza parlor mogul...

Who knows who else
In that club.

Oh, yeah, their families.

They didn't kill richie,
They're punks.

- it's above their heads.
- hey, gil, when we sweat them

You're gonna be
Right at my side.

If they know who killed him,
We'll get the names, won't we?

Yes.

We will.

- mr. Ennis?
- yes.

I'm lieutenant kojak,
Manhattan south.

Listen, if this is about
That money I withdrew...

- I'd like to use your phone.
- who is it, dear?

It's for me, dear.
You want to use my phone?

To call george, doctor.
Is that okay?

George?

George lampert
At the acacia club.

I want to discuss
Some stolen diamonds

That just got richie linden
Murdered.

They killed him?
Oh, my god.

May I?

Please, lieutenant,
Don't do this to me.

Not in front of my wife.
Let me just get my jacket.

- uh-uh.
- it's right here.

I'll just take it
Out of the closet.

I won't try to run away.

- I'm going for a walk, dear.
- take your coat!

I'm gonna
Lay it on the line, doctor.

Please, wait till
We get to the sidewalk.

I don't know how this all
Got started, lieutenant.

Money, taxes, boredom.

We're just amateurs.

Yeah, well, doc, you know,

Most professionals started
As amateurs in the beginning.

Now, tell me about
Mr. Nehemiah foster.

Well, he came up from miami
When things began to come apart.

Then there was
This other one from chicago.

Foster called him muttel.

- keep talking, doc.
- well...

I'm sorry, sir,
This is a private club.

Is there something
I can do for you?

Yes, I want to see that
Gentleman over there, the coach.

- george.
- yes?

Gentlemen to see you.

Ennis the dentist.
You know him?

He does gums and talks and talks
And talks and talks and talks.

He repeats himself a lot,
But the d.A. Loves it.

Must have 20 pages of testimony
Of his life in crime

With you and those other
Pillars of society.

Your rise, lampert,
From hot fur coats

To wise guys from miami
To chicago and back.

Well, you made it, coach,
To the top of the heap.

New york police department's
Most wanted of the day.

You're all going
To be indicted...

You, lampert and foster
And muttel.

What a way to go.

Detective weaver,
Would you kindly take

The prisoner outside
And read him his rights?
