Original subtitles

You think the failure Of the witness to appear

Will blow the case Against you?

And how long an adjournment Has the judge granted?

- mr. Dumpke... - look at him, frank, will ya?

A fat fish wigglin' and jigglin' His way off our line.

Maybe o'brien just got scared.

Maybe he thought Somebody was following him.

Maybe he'll call any minute and Apologize for not showing up.

He's just a little nebbish.

Gotta be frightened Testifying against dumpke.

Well, I'm scared, frank.

Scared that dumpke's Gonna walk free.

I don't like barracudas who Shake down public officials

And then kill them When they come clean.

They just located Mr. Michael o'brien

20 minutes ago...Dead.

He went to the store last Night and on his way home

Somebody laid a pipe across The side of his skull

And dragged him in here.

Yeah, no money was taken, Lieutenant,

So maybe it was Some kind of a thrill killing?

Gentlemen, six months ago This conscientious citizen

Inadvertently witnessed An argument

Between joe dumpke and The late councilman kane.

Now, dumpke says he never Even met the councilman.

So forget about the muggings And the thrills.

This death was dumpke's Salvation and I hate him for it.

All right, where do We go from here?

Well, we got a one week Adjournment...

For whatever that's worth.

- I suppose we could get lucky. - oh, and how's that?

I mean, we find a typewritten Confession by dumpke

That fell out of his pocket and We didn't see it anywhere,

Is that it?

Come on, there is An arnie saxler

Somewhere out there.

He could be a witness Against dumpke.

Excuse me, lieutenant, We did find one black glove.

Now it could have belonged To the killer.

It's on its way to the lab.

Could have belonged To the killer?

We're clutching at straws On this one.

That's the only thing I know for sure.

And as for arnie saxler, Well, look...

We've not had one clue where He is in the last 3 months.

Which suggests to me, Very strongly,

Dumpke terminated His employment in his mob

The same way he terminated Poor mr. O'brien down there.

♪ oh, I'm back home And I feel blues ♪

♪ and I took off My wanderin' shoes ♪

♪ yes, there's living That you must try ♪

Hmm, arnold saxler, New york city.

2 baker 12 to base.

Go ahead, 2 baker 12.

I have a 390 d, Possible t 380 suspect.

What was the color of that truck That was hit last night?

If chief washburn's Around he'll remember.

10-23.

Okay, arnold b. Saxler...

Age 32...

358 east 49th street...

2 baker 12, the color of truck That was hit was light blue.

- then I got him. - 10-4.

10-4.

Were you watching That jury today?

I mean, they want To nail dumpke so bad,

They just need A little more help.

O'brien would have sewn up That case for sure.

Yeah?

Captain. Uh, lieutenant, bci called.

Apparently crocker filed A hold card with them

And their information unit On one arnold saxler.

I'd ask crocker, But he's not back yet.

Who's arnold saxler?

When our dead witness, Mr. O'brien,

Heard kane and dumpke Arguing on the street,

Saxler chased him.

Saxler was dumpke's driver. He disappeared.

Yeah, well, he just popped up In santa flora, nevada.

He's being held on a Hit-and-run, leaving the scene,

And they're checking out His new york license,

Any warrants against him, etc.

Frank, saxler's testimony Could send dumpke up the hudson.

Maybe he even saw the murder.

Saxler's testimony could Send him under the hudson,

And a lot faster.

He'd be crazy to testify Against dumpke.

In his shoes, I wouldn't.

Yeah? Well, listen.

Arnie, suppose we include you

With dumpke In the murder charges?

You can't make that stick.

And so I'll make it look Like it's not sticking

Because we made a deal.

My stoolies let dumpke know you Plan to testify against him

How long before You get hit, arnie?

One day, two days?

So? And if I do testify,

That gets me killed too.

Oh, no, baby, you get on the Stand and send dumpke to attica

And the guys who move Into his territory

Will probably send you champagne

And give you a kiss On both cheeks.

You'll be a hero, And I'll see to it.

Now you help me or I'll never get off your back.

All right, all right.

See?

You know, you can be a very Intimidating personality?

All right, so we'll get A subpoena for saxler.

Nevada has to turn him over To us, anyway,

Under that Witness reciprocity agreement.

Stavros, if you please,

Get the chief out there On the phone.

We have to send 2 men. Maybe vine and crocker.

Oh, no, no. No, no, no.

If you're going to convince Arnie that you

Personally will railroad him Into big trouble

If he doesn't testify, Then you go out there.

You play the big bully Lieutenant

Who drops everything for him.

You're obsessed. You'll stop at nothing.

There's a weekend coming up.

Dektor can sit in For me until then.

I'll take, uh...

Crocker!

Yeah, I know, I know. I saw stavros.

Mcneil.

Yeah, just a second.

Chief washburn Coming in on the line.

Yeah, chief washburn,

This is lieutenant kojak, Manhattan south detectives.

Manhattan? Well, uh, it's a borough.

A borough?

It's a part of new york city, What can I tell you?

The borough of manhattan, Like that.

Yes, sir, well, the problem is, Can you hold him a few days?

We need him as a witness In a murder case.

Yeah, just a second.

He'll stall around For about 48 hours.

Can we get a subpoena that fast?

For sure.

Not to offend Your western hospitality, chief,

But in relation to The borough of manhattan,

Where is santa flora?

You just fly into reno, Rent yourself a car,

And then you got about A two hours drive east.

Santa flora. Mm-hmm.

Sure thing, lieutenant. Count on it.

- who are you callin', saxler? - my friends back home in cory.

Well, you said You're going to keep my car,

So I gotta get a lift.

Don't worry, I'll make it collect.

♪ someone who cares A long way from times square ♪

♪ someone who cares A long way from times square ♪

42 hours. I mean, not even 42 hours,

And you said you'd hold him For 2 full days.

Lieutenant kojak, At the time I spoke to you

I didn't know He was a fugitive,

Wanted by another Nevada police force.

Now I cannot hold a prisoner When a far more serious offense

Has been committed elsewhere In the county.

What offense was this, chief?

Well, the night before He drove up here,

Got drunk and hit that car,

He robbed the grocery store Down there in cory.

Their deputy chief Picked him up here,

Oh, about 2:00 this morning.

They only got 3 men... Chief peck, deputy chief hawker,

And any volunteer They can pin a badge on.

Well, cory, I gather, Makes santa flora

Look like the big avocado Around here, right?

Yeah, lieutenant, We do cory jokes all the time.

Like, um, it gets So hot in cory,

You can fry an egg In the street.

Can't fry 2 eggs. Too small for that.

That's hysterical, chief. Now would it be big enough

For a teensie-weensie Little dot on this map?

Uh, yes, sir. Let's see right here.

Yeah, now you drive Right out this road here.

It's the only way To get there

Until the freeway they're Building cuts through there.

What's your aim out there?

Well, my aim is to talk them Into seeing

A murder case in new york Is a little more urgent

Than their grocery story.

Them desert rats? Oh, you gotta be kidding.

Why they tell me folks in cory Wouldn't pay a penny

To watch an ant Stack a ton of hay,

Much less worry about Anything in new york.

Well, I wish you luck, But don't count on it much.

They don't generally Take kindly to outsiders.

Well, tell me how A mobster like saxler

Hits on cory, nevada To hide out in?

Well, that's where Saxler grew up.

That's his hometown.

Yep, country boy Just came back home

To be with friends, That's all.

Well, you don't look like No lawyer to me.

Does that help ya in court Or hinder ya?

Haven't been in court That much to know yet.

What do you think?

Well, I think anybody Who shells out taxes

So you can practice law On arnie saxler

Ought to get paid back

The day you hang out Your shingle

Looking for a hundred an hour. That's what I think.

Well, maybe I'll never Do that, mr. Quinlan.

Maybe I'll just be a lifetime Sucker for the underdog.

I'm a woman. It's easy.

Excuse me. Chief peck?

Yeah.

I'm lieutenant kojak.

I'm with the new york Police department

And this is detective crocker.

New york? What borough would that be?

Borough? Manhattan, you've heard of it?

- of course. - what can I tell ya?

I better go check out These new yorkers personal.

Never fear, arnie. B.J.'s here.

I got me a lieutenant of Detectives from new york city,

Making what a year, About 20, 30 thousand?

You know something, chief?

Oranges are a quarter apiece In new york.

Apples...Priceless.

Yeah, well anyhow, I got me you

And I got me that lady lawyer All the way out here

Just to try to get a little Operator like arnie

Off the hook.

Now kojak, Arnie busted in here,

And he swiped some morphine

That judge quinlan had in The refrigerator for doc ewing.

And he don't deny it.

It doesn't make any difference If he confessed.

He still has a right To a defense.

That's the gol-durnest thing I ever heard.

It's a basic principle of law!

I'm sorry, your honor.

Listen, mr. Quinlan... Justice quinlan,

Postmaster...Your honor...

And victim quinlan.

I'm not trying to get Arnie saxler off the hook.

I just want to borrow him.

Well, and since he's been Arrested for a felony,

It's up to you, judge, to...

Decide whether To let me have him or not.

His testimony could end The career of a major criminal.

Murderer, extortionist...

We take our eyes Off of arnie for one second,

He's gonna run. I grew up with him.

We was best of friends. I know him!

Lily weed told us That arnie's got himself

A good set-up Over at the maverick.

Why would he run away from that?

To stay out of jail If the rap was long enough.

Now you know, howard, there was Nine shots of morphine stolen

And I only found wrappings For three of them

In the trunk of his car.

Now if I can just find one Person he gave a shot to

That's supplying, and that's A couple years, right?

Right.

Arnie's not comin' back here To do no two years on the farm.

If we let him go, We're gonna lose him.

Somehow, I know it.

Why isn't he gonna jump bail And take off on ya anyhow?

Bail on arnie saxler Is 50,000.

That's outrageous! For what he's charged with?

Oh, mr. Quinlan, I request a mo...

Request denied. Hearing adjourned.

I don't suppose saxler Might get a speedy trial

And be judged innocent, Do you, your honor?

Kojak, this case Is open and shut.

- why? - why?

Well, come on back here And take a look.

He forced the back door From the outside.

Well, anybody could Have jimmied this.

Well, now, lookie here.

Just makes all our hard work Look so simple.

Well, now, of course There was another lock.

Here it is. Look.

That's evidence? In an unlocked safe?

Well, I gotta get in and out For stamps, don't I?

Of course, you've dusted That for prints, huh?

Yep, pulled The right index and thumb.

Matches arnie's.

The snips he used Was in the trunk of the car.

Uh, what time Was the burglary?

Well, I came by here Friday night about 9:30.

Saw the lock cut off And the door half open.

Oh. In a few short hours you, uh,

You took fingerprints And you pinned it on arnie.

Isn't that something? I'm impressed.

Look, I saw him running Outside across the field.

Then when I found out It was morphine was gone,

I said, "Your old buddy Sure picked himself up

Some bad habits When he was in new york."

Yeah, well, I'd like At least to talk to arnie,

You know, maybe try to get A little help from him.

Since I've come such a long way.

Well, now, we'll just have To think about that.

You stayin' over at lily's?

Yes. Crocker...Penny...

Uh, I'll be waiting For your call.

Hawker, maybe you Just better follow up

If you say arnie Was selling that morphine.

Read that last number Back to me.

246 abl.

Oh...

Now what's the point Of all this?

Frank, I'm with A lovely lady, you know,

When people start trying To bully you, I just...

Yeah, anyhow, frank, I need Another couple of days.

Why? They're not gonna let

Saxler out of the state Because of that drug robbery.

These people here, You know what they do?

They shoot at signs, They drive off the road,

They open a bottle of beer With a pair of pliers,

They burp a couple of times,

But they don't know Diddlywinks about morphine.

There's no way saxler Shot three tubes,

Drove 80 miles To santa flora,

Got drunk, etc., here.

Hiya, captain.

No way they lifted prints Off the lock.

Anyhow, if he wanted drugs

He could have gotten them From his vegas partner.

Yeah, frank, if I can prove This whole robbery

Is a set-up by arnie's friends

To protect him From our subpoena,

I'll take my case to the county
