Eddie.
Oh, whoa, eddie.

It's a tough life, eddie,

And what have you done
For me lately, eddie?

For god sakes, lieutenant.
Look, let me go on this one.

I didn't even get
Into the place.

The cops grabbed me
On the outside.

Yeah? And what are these here,
Eddie, huh?

Toys for tots
You're building maybe,

Or an erector set?

They're burglar's tools!

And with your sheet,

It's enough to ride you back
In the can on a felony.

Come on, kojak.

Look, you didn't get
Me right this time.

Cut me loose.

You come on, eddie.

You didn't tell me anything
I didn't know before.

You, sir, are going!

Look, I can give you
The guy who's hitting

On the hotel rooms
On the east side.

Ah! I know about him.
Let's stop playing games.

What do you want then?

A guy like harry dubin.

Why him?

Because he's one
Of my favorite animals.

He's a pig,

And I've watched
Him wangle his way

Out of
Too many ugly cases.

A creep, eddie.
You understand?

And I'm embarrassed.
You want to know why?

'cause he's still
On the street.

Now, you answer, eddie!
You don't ask!

For what?
What's my deal?

Ah, now
You're being sensible.

Well, eddie...

If the information is good,
You'll walk on this.

I'll make the deal
With the d.A. Up front.

I got your word on this?

Uh-huh. Come on.

Dubin pulled a heist
The other day,

Tuesday or wednesday
Or something like that.

A messenger in the jewelry
District on 48th street.

It was a real good score.

He's supposed to still have
The stuff in his apartment

Waiting for a fence
Or an insurance buy back.

How do you know?

I know.

Have we got a deal?

All right,
Where do I find him?

Call the d.A.
I'll give him the address.

Crocker!

Would you call
The felony d.A. And tell him

We're about to do business

With my dear friend
And companion, eddie.

Uh, lieutenant.

Maybe we should
Come back a little later.

Mr. Dubin is showering.

I'm clean, kojak.

I don't know.
I can still smell you.

There ain't nothing here.

You got a warrant?

Ta-da!

Well, there still
Ain't nothing here.

What do you think
You're gonna find?

Gonna find the tools
Of your trade, baby.

Guns, maybe some old stones
You might have collected

While you were working.

Have fun.

Hey, lieutenant,
Who's gonna fix the door?

Oh, we'll lean it
Against the wall.

Maybe it'll heal.

Uh, lieutenant.

Stavros?

Nothing here, lieutenant.

Where's the stuff?

What stuff?

I got some beer
In the refrigerator,

But that's for friends.

All right, let me have
The room for a minute.

Why the rough stuff,
Kojak?

You blew it.
It's that simple.

Now go home and cry.

Yeah. Well, you see, uh,
I want the jewels,

And I want
That big, black automatic

That you're famous for,

Because I'm sick and tired
Of hearing

What a great heist man
You are.

You, you're just a punk.

Are you crazy?

I don't have to tell you
Nothing.

I got rights.

So does the guy
At the v.A. Hospital.

I ain't giving you
No trouble, kojak.

You ain't got no reason
To do a job on me.

Nothing, huh?

Here, try the door.

Come here.
This could be something.

Oh, hark! Aha!

You're under arrest, dubin.

Now you gotta
Tell it to the judge.

I mean,
This stuff here, look.

All right,
Read him his rights.

Hey, what is this?

Why me, kojak?

Think about it, harry.

It's a dumper.
It won't stand up.

And you knew it
When you made the arrest.

You have a trial
When I wasn't looking?

There isn't
Gonna be any trial.

You were given
A warrant for specific items.

That's what
You were there for,

Not to pick and choose
And dream a case.

Hey, I wasn't shopping
At a supermarket.

I got what I could on him.

So you made
A quick cover-up collar.

You have no right
To toy with the law,

And I'm not about to engage
In a conspiracy

With you to do it.

Whose side are you on?

Or maybe you live
With a book that tells you

Exactly what the answer
To everything is.

Well, look, get back to reality
And pick a side.

Sure, I stretched the law.
So what?

Maybe it ought to be stretched
In the reverse once in a while.

You know, instead of freeing
Any punk who comes along

With a misspelled word
On an affidavit,

You ought to come
Into my courthouse one night.

Get back
Into the streets, baby.

I don't have to.
You have to come and see me.

Mm-hmm.

Good morning, donald.

Hi, george.

Another day
In the arena, hmm?

Sure. Sometimes I wonder
What is the difference

Between the cowboys
And the indians.

The difference is
This marble gymnasium

We're standing in
And some things called laws.

Hmm.

And, uh, now to business

With respect to my client?

The one you were talking
About to kojak.

You represent dubin?

Ah, yes, he's all mine.

He's not the nicest person
I've ever represented,

But he retained me.

I'm going for a hearing
On the warrant.

- it won't stand up.
- save the motion.

Just stand there,
And I'll do your work for you.

I'll move for the dismissal.

Relax, dubin.

You're the easiest fee
I've made in years.

Sure, it's easy
For you to relax.

You been out all night.

I been sitting
In this stinkhole

With a bunch of creeps
Begging cigarettes all night.

It's your life.
You picked it.

You'll be out
In a couple of hours.

Yeah? What about kojak?

He's got a thing for me.
He ain't gonna let up.

Kojak does his job.

He won't go any further
Than the law allows.

He wants me, man!

He ain't gonna stop,
I tell you! He's crazy!

Kojak has no more right
To break the law than you do,

Only you're probably
A lot better at it.

Hey, whose lawyer are you,
His or mine?

No one's. I take cases,
Not people.

As to illegal actions
By policemen,

There are restraints
That can be placed

Against kojak or any other cop
That goes too far.

Civilian complaint review board,
The grand jury,

The district attorney's
Office.

You should have
Their problems.

Hey, tell me something.

Where was all
These, uh, helpers last night

When kojak shook me down
For 3,000 bucks?

Are you telling me
That you paid him off?

And why didn't
You tell me this before?

You know it now.

I'm telling you,
I laid three grand on him.

Then why did he arrest you?

If he took the money,
Why didn't he just take a walk

And save himself
A lot of grief with the d.A.?

He said he had to show
Something for the warrant

Or it would make him
Look bad.

I got a record.

I had to go for the deal.

Well, he delivered
His end of the bargain.

Why the complaint?

Well, once he found
The golden goose,

He figured
He'd come back for more.

He thinks I got
A load of hot jewels.

Do you?
Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute,
Don't answer that.

I don't want to know.

No jewels.
It was all cash.

I won it at the off-track
Betting parlor, 23rd street.

I hit four races in a row.

So what do
You want me to do?

You're my lawyer.

I want to make a beef
On kojak.

You know
All those places you said

Watch out for guys like him.

You know,
My rights and all that.

That's the way
It's written.

I want you to handle it.

I'll speak to the d.A.

Guard.

And then I had to hang
Around till 3:00

Before they even
Called the case.

Then they throw the case out

Without ever giving it
A hearing. You ready?

Boy, it sure is fun being
A real cop again, huh?

Courts are fun, right?

They are for you.
You can sleep on those benches.

If I had your cushion, baby,
I'd get a snooze too.

- join me.
- join me. See ya.

Well, what happened, theo?

You had to spend
A day in court,

So you got bored and you pulled
A few tail feathers

Out of bernheim
And the d.A.?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I got tired
Of doing crossword puzzles.

You know, bernheim is a real--
You know what I mean.

Why? How'd you know?
Did he call you?

Sure, he called.

I figured
He was gonna complain

About
Your lovely personality,

So I told him
I had the commissioner

On the other line
And hung up on him.

Why don't you give him a call?
You make peace.

Hey, I'm not gonna
Apologize to him.

I didn't say apologize,
I said make peace.

You give him a lollypop
Or something.

You wave ta-ta at him
In his playpen.

Then he'll tell everybody
In the day care center

What a great guy you are.

Will that help me get dubin?

What's so special
About dubin?

You know, frank,
About six years ago,

Some young musician,

He played good guy,
And he grabbed dubin

When he wag leaving
A fur stick-up.

Dubin clobbered him
With a .45.

He's been in the v.A. Hospital
Ever since.

He's a cabbage.

You want to go over there

And watch the nurse
Change his diapers?

He's 32 years old now.

Well, that answers
My question.

Oh, no, there's more.

When the furrier heard
What happened to the kid,

He pulled back
On his I.D. Of dubin.

Dubin beat the whole thing,
And the musician,

He's in the v.A. Hospital
Doing life, frank.

Yeah?

Yeah, lieutenant,
Me and stavros

Just got a call
From the d.A.'s office

To appear there tomorrow,

With a lawyer
If we want one.

The beef is that when you had
Dubin in the room alone

That he gave you three grand.

And?

And, well,
Stavros and I talked it over,

And, uh,
We're gonna forget

That you ever had
In the room alone,

And we were there,
And nothing ever happened.

Forget it! Hey, I don't want
You to cover for me,

Else you'll think
I really did it.

But, uh, thanks.

The bernheim thing?

It just became
Very, very unfunny.

You ready?

The time is 10:20 a.M.
This date.

My name is donald bernheim,

And I am an assistant
District attorney,

New york county.

Present in the room
Are lieutenant theo kojak

And captain frank mcneil,

Both assigned
To south manhattan detectives.

Lieutenant kojak will now
Be advised of his rights.

Hey, wait a minute!
Hold on!

We're down here to talk
To you about a case.

You've got this set up
Like an inquisition.

I'm taking
A formal statement.

You haven't even told us what
This is all about officially.

It's about the shaking down
Of a suspect

On the record.

Let it go, mac.
Let's hear him.

No way!

He wants to play this game,

You come back here
With a lawyer!

He's setting you up!

Now let's get out of here.

If you refuse to give me
A statement,

I'm turning this
Over to internal affairs.

I'll give you a statement.

Uh, jack and jill went
Up the hill

To fetch a pail of hogwash.

Hey, I know
Where you stand, fella.

Why don't you send it to 'em?

We'll see where they're at.

No sweat, mr. Scroope.
You'll get paid.

Now what happened
Between kojak and the d.A.?

They clashed,
As expected.

The d.A. Didn't like
Kojak's answers.

The case has been referred
To the internal affairs division

For further investigation.

What does that mean?

It means that kojak's
Going to undergo

An investigation
By the headhunters.

They don't like to come
Out of a case

Without something
To hang their hat on.

They're gonna be
Into his personal life

And everything he's ever done.

I just want to
Get the guy off my back.

I don't want him coming
After me

Because I get him
Into a hassle.

You're wrong, dubin,
But that's nothing new.

Kojak's been ordered
To keep his hands off you

Until this whole thing
Is over.

Ordered? Will he listen?

He's a cop.
He takes orders.

He's not a fool, mr. Dubin.

You waited too long.

I needed a warrant.

That stuff was there
When I told you about it.

Maybe for another three,
Four hours.

You screwed it up!

How can you be
So sure the stuff was there?

I'm sure, kojak.
Just let it go at that.

I see. When it was your game,
That was okay.

It's off the board now,
And I need all the secrets.

I can't give any more
Than I already have.

Then I have to believe

That you were part
Of the setup to frame me.

No. No way, kojak.

That ain't my bag,
You know that.

One of the times
I went away,

I met this guy
We called colby.

He's my connection
With dubin.

He works for him
Or with him.

Anyway, me and colby
Got friendly,

And he's been trying to get me
Into a deal with dubin.

You know, a step up for me.

He's the one that
Told me about the jewels.

And where
Do I find this colby?

You can't find him
Without me.

He's not a local,
And colby's only a nickname.

You have to deal with me.

You're in here.

You can get me out.

Maybe yesterday,

But today I don't sit too well
With the d.A.'s office.

My bail is 1,500,
Remember?

That's only 75 bucks for a guy
Like you can put up collateral.

Kojak, do something
For both of us.

One thing I always try to do
No matter what

Is to have good food
In my places.

Cuts the profits a little,

But there's
Always enough bucks

To make
The whole thing look good.

Not like when you had
Holes in your socks, huh?

I don't even walk anymore.

What's happening with you?

You in trouble
Because of that bust

You took the other night?

No way.
I got that thing beat already.

So what do you have me
Lined up for?

I happen to know that you gave
That stuff

To your bookmaker
To pay him off,

'cause he laid the stuff off
On me for 18 grand.

That creep!
He told me it was only 15,

And I'm still on the hook
For him for five!

Well, he just blew it.

As far as I'm concerned,
We're even.

Who are you kidding,
Harry?

The only person
On the face of this earth

That you make sure you pay off
Is your bookmaker.

You're a degenerate gambler.

You're the best in the business,
But who needs you?

What are you
Complaining about?

You got it made.

You bankroll,

And all you gotta do
Is sit around and collect.

You're like a slot machine
With no pictures.

If I like the deal,
That's the way it goes.

You'll like it.

I never gave you
A bad deal yet.

You amaze me, harry.

You rip off
The feldman brothers last week

For about 30 grand
In stones,

You pay off your bookmaker,
You're broke.

The cops bust you,
So they know all about you.

You're hot.
They're on to you.

I don't need any trouble

No matter how good
You think you are!

Hey, listen first.

Then if you want to say no,
It only takes a short breath.

It's a good-sized payroll,

300, 400 grand,
Depending on overtime.

I'll need 40 grand
For the setup

And for the equipment.

I'll throw you
Your usual share,

But I'll guarantee
The 40 no matter what.

How do you keep
The cops off your back?

That's the sweetest touch
Of all.

I've got them watching
Each other.

Let me tell you
About the hit first.

No, I don't want
To hear about it.

You can tell me
When the job's over.

I'll give you the money,

But not all at one time.

There's no way
In this world

You're gonna get that bread
In a lump sum.

You'd buy
The track with it.

I need a legit job
For a cover for the cops.

That's easy.

You're now district manager
Of my places.

You're beautiful.

Hey, let me tell you
How I laid it on

That bald-headed cop kojak.
Remember him?

Do I ever.

Hey, anything bad about kojak,
I'd love to hear.

Hey, you want another beer?

Yeah, sure.
I'd like to buy this round,

But I'm flattened out
From making bail

Hey, uh, a couple more
Here, okay?

Take it easy, man.
You'll be okay.

Sure.
From your lips to god.

Meanwhile, all I'm walking
With is case money.

Hey, look, if you need
A stake, just ask, huh?

What I need is a...

Score, not a loan

Or an in on the next move
With dubin.

Take it easy, man?
I'll slide you in.

He's working
On a nice one now.

It's gonna be big.

Yeah, sure.
I been hearing this.

I'd just like
To see it happen.

I said it'll happen.
Now cool it, huh?

Okay, okay.
Don't get uptight, colby.

It's just that I always
Heard that dubin works alone

Or maybe with
Just one other guy like you.

He's never had a deal
With a group before.

Yeah, well, he's gonna
Need people this time.

He went to bancroft
To get the bankroll.

The money man?

Why don't you
Just watch the movie?

You might learn something.

Okay, colby.

Okay.

You can't.

Now, you were told
To stay away from dubin,

And that's what
You're going to do.

Now, with bancroft and dubin
Locked together,

It's got
To be a big heist.

Okay, I'm impressed.

Stay away from dubin.

The d.A. Would love
Nothing better

Than to be able to lay
More pressure on you.

If they want dubin out,
They can be my guest.

You don't mean
Or believe that, mac.

What difference does it make
What I believe or mean?

I said it.
Isn't that enough?

Don't you realize
What kind of a perfect case

You need now to nail dubin?

All they have to do is say
You're into another frame!

They've got one
On record already!

Okay, you told me and it's
Been duly recorded in my mind.

And your wish is my command,
And like that, captain.

But I'm gonna set up
A plant on bancroft.

I wasn't told to stay away
From bancroft, was I?

And if dubin happens
To wander into it,

Ah, what can I do?

Bernheim is the one
Who freed him.

Not me, right?

You know, I'm very thankful
You're on my side.

It's nothing.

And since
I see no connection

Between this bancroft
And dubin,

Well, then I see
No reason to interfere

With your investigation of
This alleged criminal, bancroft.

How does that sound?

Oh, you're beautiful, mac.

Who loves ya, baby?

Uh-huh.

This coffee's lousy.

Hey, crocker,
That looks like dubin.

Lieutenant, you read me?

Yeah, what have you got?

Dubin just pulled up.

Some moose dropped him off
In a blue olds.

He's pulling away.

Stay there
And don't get spotted.

I'll pick up the car.

Got it covered.

Yeah?

- yeah, let me speak to dubin.
- it's colby.

Yeah?

There's some dude out here
Watching you.

Cops?

Yeah, your friend kojak.

Kojak's following me.

He's supposed
To get off my back.

He can't hang on me
That way.

I know it. Relax.

Police department.

Give me the internal affairs
Division, please.

I'm captain russo,
Internal affairs division.

I'm ordering you to break off
The stake-out.

What are you talking about?

Back off dubin.
That's an order.

Hey, uh,
We're on allan bancroft.

No games, lieutenant.

Dubin is an employee
Of bancroft's.

Your story won't hold water.

Hey, who's running this police
Department, them or us?

There's a little more.

Till further notice,
You're temporarily assigned

To the chief
Of detectives' office

Pending the outcome
Of the dubin charges.

Lieutenant, I know it's easy
To sign your name,

But you can't approve
Every request for equipment

Made by every detective
Who wants it.

Why not?
They need it, don't they?

Where are we supposed
To get the stuff from?

Well, that's your problem.

I'm only here temporarily.

The last lieutenant here
On temporary assignment

Stayed 2 1/2 years.

Manhattan south--

Uh, "Chief of detectives
Division,"

Lieutenant kojak.

I got this number
From your office.

What are you doing there?

Well, I got promoted.

Hey, what's happening
With you?

It's okay. I'm in.

I got the deal with dubin.

I should find out more
About it tonight.

Things have changed
Just a little, eddie.

Captain mcneil,
Well, he's covering my squad

While I'm down here.

You'll have to call back
My office

And and tell him, okay?
He'll handle it.

No, no,
I got no deal with him.

I don't know him,
And I don't trust him.

Look, I either deal with you
Or forget the whole thing!

Okay, eddie,
Take it easy, will you?

Just sit tight
And I'll get back to you.

I'll talk to mcneil.

Yeah. Okay.

All right.

They got me downtown.
I can't do anything.

Mac, I'll settle for a meet
With you and swinton.

I'll tell him you'll give him
The same deal that I gave him.

Look, theo,
It's not going to work.

There's too much heat.

Don't you
Want to nail dubin?

Sure, I'd love to move on it,
But I have my hands tied.

Even if this crime
Has nothing to do

With the original beef on you,
I can't touch it.

Are they watching
You that close?

They're closer to me
Than my underwear.

I'm willing to try if I figured
There was even a chance

I could slip a few men
On the case,

But they're checking
The roll calls

And the men every day.

If it isn't the d.A's office,
It's I.A.D.

They catch us
Playing games again,

It'll really hit the fan.

That supposed to mean
That all we can do

Is sit back and wait for them
To pull the rip-off

So we can say,
"I told you so"?

I think
That's all we can do.

Not me.

Can I help you?

Yes. My name is kojak,

And I'd like to speak
To mr. Scroope.

Oh.

Uh, there's a mr. Kojak
Here to see you.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Scroope says that
There's no reason

For him to speak with you,

That you should leave.

I understand.

Thank you.

Uh, sir!

I'll have
To call you back.

This isn't the smartest thing
You've ever done, lieutenant,

And your presence
In my office

Isn't about
To help your predicament.

You know, I've seen you
Around for years.

I always thought you were
Pretty straight for a lawyer.

How come you're
Part of this frame on me?

I'd suggest you visit
Your own lawyer

Instead of forcing
Your way into my office.

Dubin is a thief.

He's an animal.

You know, he's ruined
More than one person's life.

Prove it, lieutenant.

It's one of those little things
Required by the law.

And you'd defend him,
Wouldn't you?

I'm a criminal lawyer,
Lieutenant.

Who should I defend,
Saints?

I get a client, guilty
Or innocent, I defend him.

Look,
I can't discuss this.

There's a client-lawyer
Relationship in existence.

Does that include any future
Crimes that dubin may commit?

I don't enter
Into conspiracies.

Then if you knew a crime
Was to be committed,

You'd report it.

Yes, I would.

I know of a job that dubin
Is planning to commit.

Before dubin leaves
This earth, lieutenant,

It's possible he may plan
And commit a great many crimes,

But what has that got
To do with anything?

Because he's using you.

He's got my hands tied
With this phony charge,

And you handcuffed me,
Scroope.

I'm asking you
To help free me.

Dubin has hooked up
With bancroft.

Now, you know
What bancroft is.

I mean, you've been around
Too long not to.

I've got a man
Who's got me right up to date.

I've got facts, photos,
And an informant.

I'll lay it all out for you.

I'll keep you informed
On every detail of what I do.

I'm putting everything
I have right out in the open.

I'm a lawyer, not a cop.

Hey, I'm asking you to help
Save a cop's career, any cop!

You know, it's so easy
To destroy a cop.

I'm asking you to invest

The same amount
Of time in saving one.

You know, uh...

My father was a cop.

I knew.

Okay. I think I can get
The d.A.'s office off your back,

But the I.A.D. Is up to you.

Everything on the up and up,
Though, kojak.

Hey, my word, scroope.

And no one's
Ever challenged that.

Okay.

Man, I swear, I ain't said
Nothing to nobody!

Somebody who knows
Is talking!

Now, first the apartment,

And now they're sitting
On bancroft.

Look, if it had been me,

You think I would have been
The one to spot him?

Kojak only missed those jewels
In my apartment by an hour.

I could be sitting in the can
Now talking to the walls.

Who's setting me up?

Who are you friendly with?

No one.

Man, you know
I ain't close to nobody.

- who?
- nothing.

Just somebody
I thought we could use.

Then take care of it.

I need lieutenant kojak!

You transferred him out,
Transfer him back!

It's too soon for that.

My office isn't satisfied,
And neither is the d.A.'s.

I just got off the phone
With the d.A.

They're probably on the phone
To your office now.

Bernheim is willing to let
I.A.D. Handle the investigation,

And he'll go
Along with your determination.

- call him!
- all right, all right!

You wouldn't say that
If it weren't true.

It's too easy to check.
So what?

So what?

We've got an informant
Right in with dubin

That says a big job
Is coming up,

And he'll only deal
With kojak.

Hey, look, if you don't let him
Off the hook,

I.A.D. Is gonna take
Responsibility

For this heist taking place.
Here.

It's all there.

One copy goes downtown
To the chief of detectives,

Another copy is in
Lieutenant kojak's safekeeping,

Maybe to give
To the newspapers, who knows?

Hmm, it's beautiful.

I gotta give you credit.

It's cute.

I mean, if I say no
And the heist does take place,

All the heat
Comes back on me.

If I were
On your side of the fence,

I'd love it!

Hey,
I'm not going anywhere.

If it doesn't work out,

I'll still be a stationary
Target for you, right?

A target maybe. Stationary,
I doubt that very much.

Would you deny me
A little movement?

All right,
I'll go along with it

On two conditions--

First, I meet
The informant myself,

So I can satisfy my bosses.

Secondly, my men work
Right along with yours on this.

I.A.D. Men and street cops
Together?

That's the conditions!

We'll go with it!
Fair enough!

Fair enough.

Now call swinton,
Make a meet for tonight.

Yeah, okay.
I'll be there.

That's my stoolie,
Captain.

Where do we go from here?

How much equipment
Are you gonna need?

You guys
Got it pretty soft.

This is a lot of stuff
We never see.

So look at it.

All this equipment
Just to nail some cop

Getting
A free cup of coffee,

And we gotta sit
On top of garbage cans

To spot someone wanted
For murder.

You know,
That's a real crying shame.

Now, that's
A sound activator,

And somebody just went
Into the room.

You want some coffee?

I don't need coffee,
I need bread.

I had to pay a bonus
To clean up a bit of a mess.

The rest I spent
On an inside man.

You see,
A heist is coming down.

They're dirty
Just like we said.

What do you need it for now,
The ponies?

Wheels and wheel men.

I need at least three people,
Good ones

I don't want to hear any more.
I know enough already.

I'll give you ten grand,
And the rest in a few days.

Make it 15.
I need some special stuff.

Fair enough.

Man, it's on the tape.

Everything
That kojak said is true.

What do you want,
A written confession

Signed in front of an author?

Crocker,
They got something going,

But that still doesn't clear
Kojak of the original beef.

Now, one thing's got nothing
To do with the other.

And just because
You have a badge

Doesn't make you a cop.

- whose side are you on?
- I do my job.

So does the guy who cleans up
After the autopsies!

Hey, wait a minute,
What's that supposed to mean?

It means I think you're a creep
And you get your kicks

On bagging cops
On nothing complaints.

Okay. All right.

You don't like me
Because I work on cops, right?

Okay! Now, I don't
Like the cops I work on,

So why don't you butt out?

I'm gonna need more men
And equipment.

We put any more stuff out
There, the street will tilt.

Well, I want to extend it,
And keep a tail on dubin also.

Wait a minute.

You still have a restraining
Order on you about dubin.

You're the boss. Nobody
Ordered you to stay off dubin.

I can't give
You any more men.

I'm supposed to be working
On you, not them.

You know, I used to know

A detective hudson
Up in the bronx. Good cop.

You people sat
On him for 2 1/2 months

On some two-cent beef,

And all you ever came up with
Is the fact

That he had a house
In new jersey.

You made him sell the house,
Move back into the city,

The end of one hell of
An investigation, wasn't it?

We've only been on this
For a week.

We do
What we're ordered to do.

I don't make the rules.

This is a homicide case now.

We may never solve it even
Though we both know who did it,

But let's
Give it a fair shot!

I'll give you another week
With all the help you need,

But something better happen
Pretty soon.

Well, maybe I can add
A little more pressure on dubin,

Push him ahead of schedule.

Please, please,
Not too much pressure, okay?

Why not?
What have I got to lose?

Three people, good ones.

Look, I don't want to hear
Any more.

I know enough already.

I'll give you ten grand
And the rest in a few days.

Make it 15.
I need some special stuff.

Fair enough.

Yes?

Would you get me
Lieutenant kojak, please?

- kojak.
- counselor?

I just heard the tapes.
Now what's your next move?

I'm gonna
Need to pressure him.

Can you hit him for your fee?

Well, it's a bit unethical,

But in this case,
I would be happy to do that.

- you're beautiful.
- right.

My fee was $5,000.

You felt that was a fair amount
When you retained me.

I feel it's fair you pay me
At this time.

You know, I haven't seen
One cent out of you.

I told you not to worry.
You'll get it.

That's what I told
My stock broker,

And he wasn't impressed.

Said he'd rather see a check
With my name on it.

You just have
To wait a little longer.

A little longer
Is too long.

What are you gonna do,
Sue me?

No. You hired me because of
My connections and my abilities.

How would you like me to turn
Them against you?

I'll get you your money.

I'm sure you will.

You got two days.

What's this fresh air kick
All of a sudden?

Meets with the same person
At the same place isn't good.

You get careless.

Cops pick up your patterns,
Your habits,

Get 'em down pat.

It becomes
Too easy for them.

I need the rest
Of that front money.

Fine. That's agreeable
With me.

I just want to start talking
About when I get my money back.

It's been out on the streets
For quite a while now.

When do I get a return on it?

You too, huh?

Not me too. Me first.

You can't rush these things.

This is a payroll job,
And I gotta wait till payday.

I didn't ask you what
Or where, I asked you when!

And I'm telling you
I had some problems.

Look, it cost me
An extra five grand

To get rid of the stool.

Now, colby may be
One of my regulars,

But he don't work
For nothing.

I can't hear anything
But a definite date.

I don't
Want to hear any more.

I lend money.

I don't get involved
In robberies and murders.

Since when?

I can remember when things
Were different.

You should be thankful
That things have changed,

Or else you wouldn't be talking
To me the way you are now.

You can get the balance
Of your money tonight

If you give me
A return date.

Three days from now, friday.

It'll be a payday
For everybody.

They just turned into
The hyatt house parking garage.

One of you
Pick them up on foot.

They just parked their car
And going to the elevators.

Okay, kewpie doll,
Stay with them!

Yeah, sure.
Good luck to me, right?

Moore, get over there and
Throw a beeper on their car.

One, sir?

Follow me, please.

They're in the restaurant
Just below the roof.

Yeah, okay, but let us know
When they come out.

Moore's in no position
To move fast.

You hear that, stavros?

I hear, I hear.

Take a look at that.

Where?

Heh. I like it.
Huh?

Now, this is the way
It's gonna work.

I got to give him
A certain amount of credit,

Laying out a heist
Through a window like this.

How do we spot the location?

How do we know
The stick-up

Isn't right here
In this building?

I checked already.
There's no master payroll here.

A couple of thousand
Independent offices

That pay their staffs
Independently.

Nothing that big, and we
Have to go with what we know.

Hey,
It's a payroll job.

All right, all right,
But where? Where down there?

This isn't a big factory area
With mass employment.

It's fragmented.

Yeah, except
For the construction sites.

They got people there.

Plenty of them, all of them
Getting paid big money,

And the unions demand cash.

It's out there
In one of the new buildings.

Probably the biggest.

Why don't we get a man up
On the roof

Right away with a camera?

Okay.

Now,
There'll be three of us

Stay in the van
Right there, okay?

The rest of you will be placed
In each of the sites.

When you spot either colby
Or dubin,

Give it
To the van right away.

We'll be there
In a few minutes.

We still don't know
Which one he's gonna hit.

You have anything to add?

With a little luck,
The beeper on dubin's car

Will lead us
To where it's gonna be.

Yeah. Well, I wouldn't count
On it, though.

Our best bet is the tails
On dubin and colby.

They're the only ones
We know about for sure.

You, crocker, you take colby,

- and, rizzo, where are you?
- yeah?

You're on dubin.

They don't know
Either one of you, okay?

Moore, justin,
Pair up with them.

Still?

Look at the positive
Side of it, lieutenant.

Maybe we just want
To learn something.

Yeah, sure.

All right, let's go.

All right,
Let's get a roll call going

By the number we gave you.
Are you set?

I don't know my number,

But we're all set here
At 38th and park.

Plant two
At 24th and first, okay.

32nd and the river.
It's cold, but we're here.

On colby,
He's still in his apartment.

On dubin, he's eating
At the automat on 57th street.

Okay, there'll be
No more transmissions from me

Until I get the location
Of the robbery.

You got that?
No more transmissions.

Colby just came
Out of his apartment,

Moving east on foot,

And he's dressed
For digging in the dirt.

Well, you were right
About the construction thing.

Hope your luck holds up.

32nd and the river to van.

Go ahead.

There's no payroll
Here today.

They get theirs on thursday.

All right,
Split your bunch.

Half to each
Of the other two locations.

Got it.

There's
An 11:00 a.M. Payroll.

I just got it
From a bookie.

We're on our way.

Stick to the plan.
Half to each and keep in touch.

Right.

Well, one down
And two to go maybe.

We could have found out about
That payroll date yesterday,

Saved us a lot of trouble

Yeah, well, there's
An inside man involved.

What happens if we ask him?

Man after my own heart.

Would you believe he's around
The corner eating hot dogs?

Where's dubin?

I don't know.

The payroll truck
Is almost finished.

Everything went okay.

All right, everybody
To the last location--

38th and park.
We'll meet you there.

All right, move it.

- dubin team to van.
- go ahead.

We lost him!
We lost dubin!

Damn it. All right,
Head for 38th and park.

It's got to be
A 12:00 noon payroll.

He's gotta be in the truck.

Colby's in a cement truck
Headed south on lexington.

All right, stay with him.

He's headed west
On 38th.

He's headed here.
Park avenue site.

Move in!
Get near that armored car!

This is it!

Come on!

Peek-a-boo!

Hey!

I got you! Hold on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Kojak?

I just sent a couple of your men
Over to pick up bancroft.

You mean alone?
Nobody watching them?

It wasn't necessary.

It's all over.
We can wrap this thing up.

You mean call off
The whole hassle on me?

That's right.
The investigation's over.

Not as far
As I'm concerned.

I want this to go
To a departmental hearing.

What for?
I can finish it.

Yeah, we whitewash this,
And you guys down there

Look like you're batting
A thousand, right?

You lost this one,

And I want I.A.D.
To have a loser on record, huh?

All right,
But just remember,

It's the martyrs
Who usually get hurt.

Oh, I don't think so.

You see,
I got a good lawyer.
