Come by again,
You stupid.

I'll fix you.

Now, let's see...

Cabbage...

Ah, two cabbages...

Soup...

Matzo.

Semmelman.

Who is that?

Hey, I told you
I can't do nothing for you.

Please.

Please, help me.

Look, I'm sorry you can't take
A powder, roach.

I left my bag at home,
So do the best you can

With this water, okay?

Come on.

Yeah, right.

You're gonna get pulled in
Every time there's a homicide

Within ten feet of you,
And you know why?

It's because of this rotten
Yellow sheet.

I don't get it.

My friend and me,
We're sitting in the park.

We're busted.

You're not busted.

We're looking for witnesses.

Now, people tell us

You're parked on that bench
Every night.

Hey,
Will you stop with that thing?

It's a machine.

It works.

Last bargain in the world.

Crocker.

9:00.
Where you been?

Where have I been?
I've been in bermuda.

Oh, you were supposed to
Be here an hour ago.

I was stuck in the
Holland tunnel for 40 minutes

With 500 other commuters,
110 minimum,

And a 300-pound pregnant woman
With claustrophobia.

Oh.

So...So?

These two guys sit on the
Park bench snapping mousetraps

Right where we found
Mrs. Oliver's body last week.

Officer,
This man is annoying us.

All right.

Last thursday
About 10:00 at night,

Did you see anything?

Yes or no?
You got three choices.

What's the third?

We hold you as
A material witness.

Witness to what?

What are you setting us up
For?

You think we're hustling, right?

We've got a right to sit
Anywhere we want.

Hey, I don't care
If the two are running

A punch and judy show
On that bench.

A nut is running around
This city cutting people up.

Thursday night about 10:00.

We got picked up early.

We didn't see nothing.

Sorry.

You guys in here are bananas.

It's safer on the streets.

You think it's safer
Out there?

Get out there.
Get out!

Get out!

Where's louie delaney?

Oh,
What's with the music?

It's like an elevator
In a hospital.

Patients need soothing music

To isolate them from fear,
Anxiety.

Oh, frank,
I'm sorry that you're sick,

But you can't hide in here.

I mean the moon is full.

The humidity is 90.

The streets are filled
With werewolves.

So pipe the music outside, okay?

That's where
The real patients are.

Maybe I'll buy an island.

Yeah.

Oh,
What's the sense to any of it?

This clown,
He kills a fat lady

Who teaches spiritual guidance,
Right?

A guy who rents out apartments.

What else?
A puerto rican garage mechanic,

A department store salesman,
A clerk in a supermarket,

Plain, ordinary,
Nondescript victims,

No rhyme nor reason,
No direction.

It could be anybody next.

Well, the police
Psychiatrist downtown

Thinks he wants to get caught.

Yeah,
So who's stopping him?

Well, we'll get him.

You know, you're awfully calm
About all this.

The hell I am,
And you know it.

Captain, he did it again,

A pawnshop owner,
53rd and 8th avenue.

$55 dollars,
Credit cards not even touched.

Louie semmelman,
Pawnbroker.

Yeah, how many stab wounds
This time.

Three.
One would have done it.

This killer's got to be
An angry guy.

So who kills,
A happy soul?

Okay, out there,
You miserable--

Well,
I'm angry and hostile too.

I want every available man
Posted

To five blocks around here;
Do you understand?

When our fruitcake sprays
His next message,

I want him,
Crocker.

And that's according to
The secretary of state.

Amd for more news, manhattan's
Grim reaper has struck again.

52-year-old pawnshop owner
Louis semmelman

Was the victim
Of multiple stab wounds

Sustained on 53rd street
Just off of 8th avenue

At approximately 9:30
Last night.

Initial police comments indicate
That once again

Robbery was not the motive
In this slaying.

This is the sixth such killing
In the past two weeks

And all without
Any apparent pattern.

Stupid.

There is a pattern.
There is a pattern!

Roger.

Roger, did you see this?

The killer...

He did it again.

I heard it on the radio.

Where are you going?

Out!

You want coffee?

I have got melon.

It is cold.

What about tonight?

Chicken kiev like they did
At the russian tavern.

When I was performing with
The company at carnegie hall,

We used to go there every night
After the performance.

Come on.
Let's go, damn it.

I think it is out.

Well, what is this
Stupid thing here for

If it never works,
Like everything else

In this miserable world?

All units,
It's now 9:30.

Now, in previous instances,

The suspect has painted
His message to us

Between 9:00 and 11:00 a.M.

Now, we know he could pick out
Any location

Within a few blocks
Of the crime,

From a billboard
To a subway restroom,

So keep out of sight,
All right?

Use your brains.

Now, why does he do it
In the daylight?

I mean, why not right after
He kills them?

Maybe he wants to get caught,
Lieutenant.

Yeah,
If that's the only reason,

Why didn't he just
Turn himself in?

Ahh!

Ahh!

Ahh!

This is crocker one block west
Of the pawnshop.

Where did he go?

gracias, señora oliva.

All right,
Take her to the station,

Full report,
Circulate the full description

Of the man, and then have her
Work with the artist.

Uh, vamanos el estacion.

estacion, si, gracias.

"Death to the money lenders,
The reaper."

Well, how do we do it?

Do we advertise?

Do we spray the walls?

"Come on in.
We want you."

We find the pattern.

The pattern is that
There is no pattern.

I think this guy
Has some sort of

Geographic formula worked out,

And he sticks pins
On his maps

The way we're doing on ours,

Only his pins tell him where
To kill.

Money lenders...

Not semmelman,
The job, not the man.

The last victim, the revivalist,
After her death, he wrote,

"The law's retribution
Is tardy,"

Again the job,
Not the person.

And after
The garage owner's death,

"Satisfaction not guaranteed,"
The job again.

You see the connection?

We're dealing with
A consumer advocate, frank.

I mean, no kidding.

I think this guy isn't killing
In his eyes.

He's complaining.

Hey that's a great theory.

He's complaining.

Fantastic.
Fantastic.

That attitude also covers
The way half this city feels

About getting ripped off.

Lieutenant,
This doesn't look like

The same paint he used before.

It's metallic.

Hey, he used two different
Kinds of paint before.

But there is a third kind.

It's a different base.
I'm sure.

Get it over to the lab fast.

You know,
We already put together a list

Of over 700 stores in the city
That sell both

Of the other two brands
Of paint,

But in this area,
They're all small shops.

My guess, there's not more than
50 in this neighborhood entirely

Use all three brands.

We need the men
To cover 50 stores?

What about the other crimes
In other places.

They'll have to be patient.

Meanwhile,
We'll start homing in,

Maybe find a clerk who remembers
Selling the paint to a man

Fitting our killer's
Description.

Yeah, but who knows
If the killer buys his paint

In the same store twice?

Frank, don't take our rainbows
Away so fast, okay?

Our baby is out there,
And maybe he's planning again.

We need to believe
We're finally on to him.

We better believe.

3:00.
You said you'd be here at 3:00.

Roger, it's only 3:30.

It is not 3:00.

Oh, god, I'm hot,
And I'm tired.

Roger,
Will you just give me a break?

Roger, I can't understand you
Not wanting to see mark,

One weekend out of a month for
A father to spend with his son.

Father...A father is a man
Who supports his son.

Hey,
You working here?

We didn't come in to watch
Life's passing parade.

Roger.

Just some coffee, please.

You like toast.

Not now.

I can pay for the toast.

Toast and two coffees.

You know,
Mark is three years old.

He couldn't care less whether or
Not his father can get a job.

He just wants to see you.

This meeting to discuss
Our son was so important,

You couldn't even show up
On time.

Thank you.

Roger,
Can I make a suggestion?

Don't,
Not again.

Okay.

Okay, not an analyst,
A group.

No, really,
It's a group of people,

And they can help you.

Look, the way you just treated
That waitress.

She was ignoring me.

Sit around in a circle
With a lot of uptight people,

Learn how to shout
At each other...

Oh, that's terrific, jenny.

That's a solution.
That's an answer for it all.

It can do wonders.

Oh, yeah, right, sure.

I love all the kinds of things
That can do wonders.

This guy in this agency
Looks at my resume last month.

"It's obvious that you're
An engineer, mr. Villers,

And that is the worst resume
I ever saw."

So he sends me to this friend,
This genius with resumes.

"There's a knack to it,
Young fellow.

We know just how to play up
Your strong points."

100 bucks I paid
For the perfect resume.

You think I got one call
When I sent them out?

One call?

What do you bet he got
A kickback on the hundred?

I'm sorry if I'm boring you.

You were talking resumes,
And I am talking therapy.

Once again, we're not talking
About the same thing.

Yes, we are.

They both make promises
That don't get kept.

It's like this rug
I got suckered into.

Women were gonna fall
All over me with this

When I got off on my own.

So where are they?

The guy who sold me this

Guaranteed a whole new life
For me.

Where is it?

I doubt if it has anything
To do with your hair, roger.

It's my emotional state.

Well, you didn't exactly
Help that, did you?

No, I guess I didn't.

I fell in love with someone.

It didn't work out.

At least I was honest about it.

Honest!

Honest?

You shoot a man to death,
You take his life away,

And then you say to him,
"Honest,

I didn't mean to kill you."

Does that bring him back?

Does that breathe new life
Into him?

Look, roger, I do not want
To argue with you,

Not in private,
Not ever again,

Especially not in public.

Roger, now, I want you to see
Your son this weekend.

And I've got to have
Some support money.

You understand?

Hey, I'm a stone.

You cold squeeze me,
You get nothing.

I will go to court
If I have to.

I promise you that.

Promise, promise,

"Love, honor, obey.

Be faithful."

Did you keep that promise?

Did you?

Cold...
Cold toast.

Roger, leave me alone.

Hey, buddy,
Wait a minute.

That's $1.10.

The coffee came out of
Your crank case,

And your toast was cold.

Get your hands off me.

Charlie, it I had an angle,
I'd give it to your paper.

No, nobody else.

I know you held that
Kingman story out of the paper.

What am I,
Indebted for life?

Don't give me that
Public relations jazz.

I got problems bigger than that.

Yeah, yeah.
All right, thanks.

Contrary to what people
May believe in this city,

This is not the only killer
On the loose.

Did you see today's reports?

They might just as well
Have come in by jungle drums.

They're going nuts out there.

Crocker.

What's up?

That was the lab on the phone
With the report

On the spray paint.

It's all done,
On the way to the print shop.

It'll be at every precinct house
In the morning at roll call.

Okay, now, listen to this.

Today's message was painted
With a color called toro red,

Manufactured by
The econo paint company.

Now,
You pull out our list of stores,

See how many handle all three
Brands he's used so far.

Okay, you got high tone,
Color bright, and econo.

Got it.

Don't forget; we only
Want the brand killers dig.

That's five of the
Dumbest words I ever heard.

"Give me back my money."

What did you expect, honey,
Satin sheets, hmm?

A palace, or maybe--
Oh, I know.

I got it, a white carpet, yeah.

Well, this is it, mister.
I'm sorry.

This is my castle, baby.

This is home.

Got it?

And if this is the pigsty,
Like you called it,

You are definitely a pig
For coming up here.

I'll tell you what,
Next time for your 10 bucks,

Why don't you call up
Sophia loren?

Now, get out of here.

I earned my money
Just by talking to you.

Ahh!

Merner's building supply
Is west 38th street,

Carey's color bright,
Toro econo paint.

Zebring hardware,
West 23rd street.

How many we got?

- in manhattan south?
- yeah.

15.

All right, get rizzo,
Mcdonald.

Start by taking that drawing
Of our suspect

To every one of these stores,
Okay?

Kojak.

Ah.

We're standing here playing
Pin the tail on the paint can,

And he's out there
Killing another one.

Where?

Times square,
A prostitute, west side.

Maybe tomorrow morning
He buys the paint first thing.

Concentrate on these

23rd, 30th, and 52nd street.

If this is our only kind
Of shot,

You make that stakeout perfect.

Go ahead.

Roger.

Ah, you told me to wake you.

I put in a pinch of cinnamon,
Because you are so spicy.

Thanks.

Roger,
I am not one of those people

Who likes to talk about
These things,

But last night,

You made me very happy.

Well,
I'm happy if you're happy.

Enough said, okay?

Okay.

It was just so nice having a man
Around the house.

I felt so safe...

With that nut out there
Killing again.

How do you know?

Oh.

Damn.

I--I have a whole
Big breakfast.

Olga, the whole world
Is coming apart.

Yes, I know.

Don't be upset.

Roger, I am not nosey, but...

Wait a minute.

I said I would lend you $50.

It is not a loan.

I want, and you want.

Yes?

Why should you be
Any different?

Crocker, we hit it.

He's on his way in right now.

I'm not even in the store.
You never saw me before.

When I make my move towards
This guy, get out of the way.

Freeze right there,
Mister.

Police.
Rizzo!

You make one more wiggle,
You're a dead man.

We got him.

Yeah, we got him.

We got him.

- we got him.
- we got him.

We got him, man.
We got him.

You bet your keester
I'm worried.

I'm worried this guy
Will change his mind

About being questioned
Without a lawyer.

I'm worried the press
Will find out.

I'm worried that people will
Rush to protect this killer

Before we get a confession.

Frank, we got a man who bought
A can of paint.

And he looks like the guy
You chased across the roof.

Okay, we're close.

Just let me build more of a case
Before I interrogate him.

Theo, you know how it is.

The worse the crime,
The more we've got to worry

That the big, bad cops
Will deprive him of his rights,

Like he deprived his victims
Of theirs.

So treat him gently,
And hurry it up.

Lieutenant kojak,
This is olga nurell.

She has the adjacent apartment.

What is going on here?

What are you searching for?

Louis,
Did they show you a warrant.

No, we don't need a warrant,
Miss nurell,

Not to enter and search
A hotel room.

You see,
We have the manager's consent.

Search it for what?

Is he hurt?

Is roger all right?

Roger...First name.
You know him well?

Sure I know him.

Well, I mean, I was sitting
Right here at this table

With him two months ago
When he moved in.

We are friends...

I mean, neighbors.

Tell me.

What has he done?

Well, I'll tell you how
We'll do it.

I'll ask some questions, and you
Give me some answers, all right?

Now, where does he work?

He does not.

Any family?

No,
He is divorced.

Tell me what trouble he is in.

And what about his evenings?

You know where he spends them?

Well, what can he do?

He is broke.
He stays in a lot.

Tell me what he did.

What about last night?
Did you see him last night?

Actually, no, I did not.

But I saw him this morning...
Early.

What time?

About 9:00.

Was he coming in,
Going out?

I am not a traffic cop.

Thank you,
Miss nurell.

We won't take you down
For a formal statement

Until we get a confession,
All right?

You'll be in your apartment
All day?

Confession to what?

Crocker, take miss nurell
Back to her room

And get her phone number,
Okay?

Yeah.

All right,
What have we got?

We got all these clippings
On the murder.

And we got an almost empty can
Of red paint.

What about the knife?

The usual kitchen stuff in that
Drawer under the hot plate.

You know, the coroner found
A piece of the tip

In the girl's body.

He said it was dull,
Olive drab,

Like a war surplus bayonet.

Nothing like that here.

Okay,
Keep an eye on this stuff.

And maybe saperstein
Got lucky outside.

Hey, detective,
Could this be the one?

No,
He broke the blade this time.

Why don't you try
The sewer gratings

Down at the end of the block?

Okay.

Thanks a lot.

Sure, restaurants serve
Cold toast and lousy coffee,

And I get pulled in for buying
A can of paint.

Rape, murder...

You sign an oath when you join

Preserve law and order.

Big joke.

You guys ought to be arrested
For misrepresentation,

Pretending to care,
Pretending to be concerned.

We were talking paint.

You want to talk paint?
We'll talk paint.

All right, so what
Are you painting, villers?

I'm not a painter.

You were buying a can.

I spray it in the air.

It makes a kind of red mist.

I like to look through it:
Rose-colored world.

Well, this was blood red,
Not rose.

So they ran out of rose.

I guess other people
Have the same idea

About this crummy world.

So you sprayed it
At a women yesterday.

- did I?
- yeah.

She identified you to a t.

Well, I guess she knows.

Hey,
Where were you last night?

It's personal.

- a woman?
- my neighbor.

No, your neighbor says you
Were not with her last night.

That's par for the course.

A woman was killed six blocks
From your room.

Same man who killed
A pawnbroker and a mechanic

And a phony evangelist.

Can I have a drink of water?

What's your special interest
In this grim reaper?

You cut out newspaper clippings.

You make notes
About his victims.

What are you doing?
You starting a library?

dick tracylost its charm.

What about the messages
You sprayed on the walls?

What messages?

"The law's retribution
Is tardy."

"Satisfaction not guaranteed."

That fellow's a poet.

I'm an engineer...
On occasion, that is.

This guy's laughing at us.

Can I have that water now?

Water.

I'd like to drown him.

I'm tired of going easy
On this creep.

I'm gonna break him down if I
Have to hide him in the basement

And scrap all the rules.

Hey, I'm with you, captain.

To all of us who have found
True compassion.

Easy, captain, easy.

Well, you've got to understand
That the captain

Is under tremendous strain.

I mean, the whole department is,
Thanks to you.

Now, I personally would like
To see this whole thing end,

Send you to a nice hospital,
See that you get a lot of rest.

Okay.

I'll cooperate.

What do I do?

Okay, you tell us about
The killings.

Tell us how you did it, why,
And when, and like that, okay?

Yahoo!

Hey come on,
All in fun.

Fun?
You call killing six people fun?

What people?

Mr. Villers,
We know the truth.

You wouldn't know the truth
From your stinking--

You talk!

Hold it.

Hold it!

Hold it!

Okay.

Okay.

Here.

I, roger villers,
Am the grim reaper.

I kill the unjust, the unkind,
The unfair, the unworthy.

I kill the pawnbrokers,
Who offer you pennies

For the things
You can't bear to sell.

I kill the women who promise you
Pleasure you never get.

I kill the ministers--
No, the fakes,

Who promise deliverance
With cheap rituals,

The garage mechanics,
Who cheat you with their bills,

The employment people,
Who stuff you in any job

To get their commission.

No act,
Mr. Villers.

No act.

Names, places, all of it.

Whatever I can remember.

How many times
Did you stab them?

Four or five times each.

What kind of knife
Did you use?

Switchblade.

How long did you plan the
Murders before you did them?

I don't know.
I don't remember.

Most of it just comes and goes.

All I know is that I get
The idea,

And suddenly I'm there,
And then I don't remember.

I blank out.

Oh, god.

God, take me from this
Rotten life, please!

26 years, and I still
Can't get used to it,

The anger,
The sickening rage in that man,

Every word that comes out.

It just--
It makes you want to be ill.

Yeah,
He's a pretty bitter guy.

Well, we've got the bitter
And the sweet.

We've got the facts,
The details,

The number of blows,
The times of death.

Rizzo.

- yeah.
- get ahold of saperstein.

See if he needs more men
On that weapon detail.

Check out the teams questioning
People who knew the victims.

Tell them to meet
As soon as they think

They can put together
Some sort of composite

Of the man we're looking for,
Okay?

Okay.

Uh, don't touch the coffee,
Frank.

It's terrible.

Theo, what are you doing?

"God, take me from
This rotten life."

Hey, frank,
That's what he said.

Huh,
I'm not god.

I'm just the officer in charge
Of this case, right?

I'm still that, aren't I, frank?

But he confessed.

Hey, every day of the week,

We get someone in here
Who confesses.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Mark antony walked in
This morning,

And we wrapped up
The julius caesar matter.

He has all the facts.

And so have the newspapers.

But he's saying things
That the press didn't print.

Oh, he went to the scene
Of every crime...

After, not before, frank, after,
And bet on it.

Here.

The best laid plans,
Et cetera.

I was gonna call the mayor.

I was gonna call the d.A.

I was gonna spend a happy hour
Or two on the work schedule

To give the men some time off,

Because they deserved it
After all the hard work they did

In apprehending that killer
In there.

I was going home to introduce
Myself to my wife.

I was gonna turn on
My air-conditioning.

Now, you tell me why I can't do
Any of those things.

You're right, frank.

I'm just sorry about
That switchblade.

What switchblade?

Oh, the switchblade
That he said he used

To kill the prostitute with,

The switchblade that broke
In her rib cage.

You know, she had a magic
Rib cage, frank.

It was a switchblade
When it went in.

But the piece of metal
The coroner took out of her body

Suddenly became part
Of a war surplus bayonet.

Maybe he's trying to trick us,
Hoping to get off.

Get off?

Look, he wants to hang so bad,
He'll weave the rope for us.

I think he'd love to be the
Killer so bad, he can taste it.

But killing,
I don't know,

It's just not his brand
Of insanity.

So what does he do?

He does it by proxy.

Joe dimaggio.

He's the guy
Sitting in the stands

Cheering on
His favorite ballplayer.

Oh,
So that's what you're up to.

You once wanted some time off
To go back to college

And study psychology.

I said I couldn't spare you,
And now this is my punishment.

I'm glad it's over.

Really, I am.

Oh, one more thing.

That switchblade,
Where'd you buy it?

One of those stores,
Macy's, alexander's.

Macy's, alexander's.
Thanks.

- I mean, you heard it.
- yeah, I heard.

I'm just sorry I didn't catch it
The first time.

So am I,
But don't take him downtown yet.

Switchblades have been illegal
In new york

For the past 20 years.

That's right, frank,
And if he went to buy one,

He'd know that.

Look, if we don't have
Any luck this time,

Let's try the sewers down at
The end of the block, all right?

Hey, detective.

I think I got something for you.

That's the baby.

Let's go.

Break it up. Break it up.
Break it up.

Break it up now.
Break it up. Come on.

Yes, I want a knife.

I can't spend a lot,
But it better be very strong,

Guaranteed,
And I mean it.

You guys put in 20 years,
You can retire.

You got income,
Not me.

I get to pay a lousy $600
A month in alimony forever.

Why did you kill
The evangelist?

I told her about
My marriage problems.

She said the lord would help me
If I was generous.

So I gave her my money,
And my wife left me anyway.

He says he gave her money,

But he's not on any of her
Donation lists.

All right, check the court
Of domestic relations,

Get a list of every angry,
Frustrated husband

Who's stuck for alimony
And support.

And try to tie a name in with
The pawnbroker's records

And the evangelist's
Donation list.

Maybe this guy villers just
Gave us the start of a pattern,

A guy who's fighting back.

It's weird;
All you really want is to live,

Get some pleasure out of a day
Now and then,

Get your wife and your kid back,

But you got to pay
To stay apart.

You get nothing for your work,
For your trying,

For your money but heartbreak.

Why did you kill a prostitute?

I want to kill everyone
Who hypes you up

With their
Satisfaction guaranteed bologna.

Promises, promises.

Now, what type would you
Go for next?

What?

You want to know what gets
To me, villers?

Those old ladies on broadway.

They sit on those benches trying
To look right through you.

They cross the street
Any time they want.

They don't care about the light,
Just themselves,

And then you get arrested
For running them over.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

That's what burns me up.

If that man killed
All those people, he's insane,

And he's insane if he didn't.

Now, how in the world
Can listening to what he says

Help us do anything
But walk around in circles?

You saw that collection
In his room?

Newspaper clippings,
Photographs,

Magazine articles with stories
About fraud and dishonesty

And adultery and every vice
In the bible outlined in red.

This man is bitter,
And he's angry,

And he's filled with hate,

Just like the killer
In every way but one, frank.

He can't get himself to kill.

So he lives the killer's acts
After he has committed them.

Rizzo.

We got this from three people
That were in the area

Where the crimes were committed.

Now, this roger villers,

He was identified
By all three of them

A day after the killings.

He was never a customer
Of this pawnbroker,

Because we checked his books,

And not once does the name
"Villers" appear.

Lieutenant,
We got the knife.

Now, we found it down the sewer
About two blocks away

From the hotel
Where the girl was killed.

Now, the lab says it matches,
And the tip was broken.

Theo...

Now, I know how these things
Can go, and so do you.

Now, we have a very disturbed
Young man.

We have the vague identification
Of a very hysterical woman.

We have a small piece
Broken off a knife.

Now, I'm telling you, go slowly.

Take him through it,
Get all you can, don't rush it.

What is it?

He's gonna kill again,
And he's gonna do it soon.

Since you know that much, can
You tell us who the victim is?

If I was filled with
The bitterness and anger

That roger villers
Has gotten across to us

And someone sold me a knife
That broke,

It would be like all the
Other tricks life played on me.

And you know something,
Frank?

I'd go after the man
Who sold it.

Should cover all the army war
Surplus stores in the borough.

Find out if they remember anyone
Who gave them a hard time,

Complained, argued,
A man with a bad temper.

Take the photos of villers
Along.

I'm not as convinced
As kojak is.

No,
This is mr. Burke.

Well, I'm sorry sir,
But mr. Owens took the day off.

Oh, are you the same party
That called yesterday

About a knife
That was defective?

Because if you just bring it in,
We'll--

That man swore to me
That the knife I was buying

Would never break,
"Indestructible."

Now,
That's what he said.

And I want to straighten
This out with him now.

Well,
Mr. Owens took an extra day off.

He has a cold.

What's his first name?

Theodore, why?

Information
For mr. Theodore owens,

Start with manhattan.

Why are we here?

Well,
It's part of our procedure.

Just...
Just show us what happened.

Did you go to the bathroom
At all?

- yes.
- how did you like the color?

Don't you believe me?

Oh, well, I'm not a jury.
Just answer me.

She was pretty.

I didn't just pick her up.

I looked for a real nice one.

Do you remember her name?

They always lie.

Anyway, she--
She asked for her money.

She was going to leave,

And I was going to lose her.

She was pretty,

Pretty face,
Nice legs,

Supposed to make you happy...

Good for your ego.

If you're a man,
Somebody you love...

And you lose her.

Lose her?

I mean, the working girl?

Not this one.

Oh, what one?

I-I don't want to be here.

Can we go?

We can't,
Not yet.

I'm sorry, roger, but what woman
Are you talking about?

Do we need that?

Yeah, we need it all.

My wife, jenny.

What about her?

She was having an affair.

I caught on.

I followed her one day.

They--they checked out
Of this motel room,

And I checked in.

I made sure it was
The same room.

I sat in one chair four hours...

Like they were there.

I was invisible.
They couldn't see me.

And why did you put yourself
Through that?

It was like seeing something
Of mine stolen from me.

I could see it happening,
But I couldn't stop it.

I'd never do that to her, never.

Lousy, lying, cheat.

But now I'm gonna get them all.

I don't want to be here, please.

Forget it.

Mr. Villers...

Roger...

You know, you may have done
A lot of things

That you need to escape from,

And some things you want
To pay for,

But I got news for you.

You didn't kill the woman
Who lived in this room.

I don't think you've ever killed
Anybody.

I think you know about him.

In a way, you're closer to him
Than anybody else in the world,

Besides his victims,
That is.

But he killed, roger.

He took life.
You didn't.

We'll prove it,
And you know we will.

He was just fighting back.

I talked to people
Where he did those things.

Maybe he was wrong,
But he was just fighting back.

Sometimes it gets so heavy,

The pressures,
The failures,

The frustrations.

I don't know.

You don't know who
To strike out at.

I never talked like this
About my life to anyone before.

Maybe my wife was right.

I need to talk to people.

Maybe you ought to tell her.

Kojak.

You were right, lieutenant.

Maybe I was lucky.

I was lucky, lucking out
After just five stores.

The salesman inside,
Name of burke,

Some guy called him this morning
Really bugged.

Yeah, he was hot.
He was furious.

Wanted to speak only to they guy
Who sold him the knife.

I mean, what do they think we
Got here, abercrombie & fitch?

Did he ask for the salesman
By name?

No, but I gave it to him:
Theodore owens.

He's at home if you want
To speak to him.

Get me his address and fast,
Mr. Burke.

Why? What's wrong?

I said fast, mr. Burke, okay?

Okay.

- yes?
- mr. Owens?

I thought I might catch you here
On my lunch hour.

It's about some merchandise.

The store sent me over.

I'm off today.
I don't feel good.

It'll only take a moment.

All right,
Just a few minutes.

You stay with roger.

Crocker, come with me.

Just a minute.

Yes.

You take the upstairs,
And I'll take the downstairs.

Just a minute.

Yes.

Mr. Owens, this is police.
It's important.

Police?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hold it.
Police!

Do you know this man?

It's me.

No, but it could be.

I suppose it could be
A lot of us.

Come on.
You done some good, roger.

Smile.
