All right, hold it!

- why did you try to shoot him? - no one cared.

His girlfriend got 20 to life For murdering her mother.

He's important To somebody someplace,

And I'm gonna find out.

You're a great woolly Teddy bear.

Lieutenant, team effort.

I'm not on your team.

I don't slam a cell door On anybody,

Unless I'm sure they're guilty.

That might be sort Of unpleasant

To some of my friends.

I killed her, Like that and that

And that and...

Mr. Shaw.

Mr. Shaw.

Everyone was quite surprised.

She was never any problem.

Just a few minutes. She's lost a lot of blood.

Karen?

Karen?

I heard you were in here.

I really got scared.

You'll lose your job If you come up during the week.

Why did you do it?

I didn't.

I'm still alive?

Well, maybe if they get A couple of linebackers--

Maybe if they get A hot running back.

So what do you think?

If they get a good kicker.

And maybe if they Traded helmets with pittsburgh.

- it's a deal. - yeah.

Lieutenant. Lieutenant kojak.

Anything special Bring you down here?

Ah, nothing for page one.

Yeah.

- we got aced again. - what does that mean?

All we wanted was a stay.

We didn't get the stay. We didn't get the eight hours,

You asked for, Not eight minutes, nothing.

Burton offers donovan a deal, And he bought it.

Burton, what's going on?

You gave us enough to make Our case, and we made it.

Enough? What is enough?

I mean, we had some new leads,

And all I needed was time To check it out--

Time that might have proved Donovan innocent.

Kojak, we got a guilty plea.

We didn't have a complete Case against shirley harmon,

But she pleaded guilty too.

And how about those kids In the village--

Threaten to throw the book At 'em and they sign.

Now, what the hell kind Of justice is that?

Lieutenant, team effort, Secret words,

That's what it's all about. You did your job.

- I just did mine. - hey, burton.

I'm not on your team. Do you understand?

And when I bring you evidence, I'm not a waiter at a party.

I don't slam a cell door On anybody

Unless I'm sure they're guilty,

And I'm not gonna Settle for second best

Because some conviction Hungry lawyer is scaring people!

I'll expect an apology, For that last one.

I hope you're holding Your breath.

Do you have a comment On that, sir?

Not right now. Ladies and gentlemen, please.

No more questions at this time.

Thank you very much.

Scott, come here for a minute, Will you please?

Why did you try to shoot him?

Because no one cared.

Daniel shaw, age 23.

You know him, counselor?

Two years ago, His girlfriend got 20 to life

For murdering her mother.

She confessed, kojak.

This one signed a confession Before I got there.

Forgive me. Forgive me, gentlemen, I'm--

I'm deeply grieved.

It's unfortunate. The boy was only 23.

That's oh, so very young.

When I accepted This appointment,

I was fully aware That a public official

Faces the citizen's ire And their anger

As well as their trust.

However, I will do my best to Earn their respect.

Thank you.

Mr. Burton, is there any truth To the rumor

That you're going to run For district attorney

With a backing Of mrs. Edna morrison?

Uh, no comment.

All right, see what you Can get on the kid, okay?

It's getting late.

I got to see About that narco stakeout.

Uh, lieutenant kojak, You heard mr. Burton.

Any comment?

Uh, none that you can print.

Are you going to apologize?

Get back.

Let's step back.

In sports, the giants lost An opportunity

To pick up a new linebacker.

Weather continues fair.

And there was another near-riot At the wholesale fruit

And vegetable market,

When a lettuce truck ran Into a celery dealer stand.

Apparently, the salad Came out lousy.

On a serious note, A psychotic young man

Tried to shoot One of the city's a list

And most promising young, Assistant district attorneys

Earlier today.

Well, you can say what you Want about public figures,

And we've been saying a lot About them lately--

All bad--but young, dedicated,

Hard-working guys Like greg burton

Receive this reporter's Admiration.

Not my envy, But certainly my respect.

On the international scene...

Okay.

So what does everybody think?

The latest is, it's 20, Maybe 30 kilos,

On the blue swan Out of marseilles.

You check this out?

I called the feds After I spoke to crocker,

And they said For us to stay right on it,

The way we've been doing.

Don't juggle us like oranges, Baby.

Lieutenant, we made a deal.

I help you get this shipment,

You get me off For gun running, right?

Sure.

This guy here Gives me an itch, understand?

Keep your back to the wall, And keep your belly to the wind.

Daniel shaw was killed today.

This is where he lived,

And you don't know a thing About him, right?

What do you expect for $20 A week?

Did he have any friends?

He never brought nobody here.

He kept the place clean, Washed up good.

That's all I cared about.

He even went to church.

You gonna give me your name?

What do you need my name for?

I'm sorry. It's not important.

Karr, myrtle karr. Missus.

Uh, crocker.

I lifted the kid's prints And ran 'em through,

And all we have is a nice kid. Quiet.

Nothing ever happened To him, except one night

His girlfriend put a butcher Knife through her mother.

Her name is karen foster. She's up at bedford hills.

Get someone Over to 1641 walker street.

That's the kid's room.

So forensic can go over it.

And tell the captain that Stavros is still with geddes,

And we covered the feds on it.

And what else?

Well, I probably Won't be in until tomorrow.

Where you going?

I'm going up to the prison.

Bedford hills? That's quite a drive.

Crocker, the kid Lives in a room as as quiet

As a-a wet box of soda crackers,

And yet, he walks up to a man,

And he tries to blow His head off.

Why?

All right.

Any family you know of?

He never even got mail here.

The only place I ever heard Him mention was a lunch box

On broadway and 119th.

Yeah, that's karen's guy, All right.

Have you seen him lately?

In this town?

I mean, the pizza parlor's Only down the street,

But in the big apple, You take a job a block away

And it's another world, You know?

Hmm.

Did he come here often?

Yeah, he came in sometimes.

Sit over there, Stare at the paint.

Real lonely guy.

No trouble or nothing, Just kind of lost, you know?

Tell me about karen foster, Sally.

Well, her mother Was real hard on her, you know?

Well, How was her mother hard on her?

She ran that place, and she And karen lived in the apartment

In back of it,

Where it happened--

It's down the block.

It's empty now.

I know.

Anyway, girls don't usually Go out on take-outs,

You know, But her mother made her.

Never mind what could happen On one of the deliveries.

Her old lady Was after every dollar,

You know, for her skating.

Uh, boys?

Nothing.

Well, nothing except for Daniel shaw,

And he was nothing, you know?

Tell me, sally, you remember The night it happened?

Do I ever.

She was just coming to work,

And I was making an order To take out,

And I said, "Hey" or something, And she said, "Hey, sally,"

And then she went out With the two specials.

She never did come back.

You remember the order?

I remember--it was an old man Who called.

He talked like a foreigner.

He called in often, So I remember,

He worked at the school, usually Seven or eight orders at a time.

You see, we get busy, And it was hard to call,

So one person would try for them All and get a tip, you know?

Who are "Them all"?

College students, Up the street.

Saperstein.

Look, I just left the University registrar's office.

They'll be calling you With some names.

Are you looking for me?

No, lieutenant.

The university? What's that about?

- I fell in love with a coed. - okay.

And as an extra Added attraction,

I'm also trying to zero in On an older man.

He worked at the school And called in pizza orders

For the students.

Right.

I've only gotten to her three, Four times, maybe.

A penal psychologist Is spread thinner than cops.

I work a beat from attica To rikers.

So what else is new?

Yeah. It gets hot in august.

Lieutenant, one of the inmates

Heard about shaw's death On the radio, so the girl knows.

Look, uh, do you think She tried to kill herself

Because her parole Was turned down?

Oh, no. This girl is full Of deep loathing for herself.

It permeates the air around her.

I mean, the parole turndown Was painful for him,

But she didn't give a damn.

I think she was trying to give Him a chance to be free of her,

Once and for all.

Is she lucid?

She's sane.

Whatever that means.

Karen, this is lieutenant kojak.

He wants to talk to you.

Hey, kid.

I'm sorry about your friend.

You kill him?

No.

Somebody did.

- yes. - who?

It was a police officer.

Why?

He tried to shoot somebody, An assistant district attorney,

Named burton.

You remember him, don't you?

I'm bad.

I'm evil.

Daniel shaw ever talk to you About shooting burton?

- matricide. - what?

I killed my mother.

I was talking About daniel shaw.

I killed danny too.

However it happened.

Hey, well, Look who got lost uptown.

- how you doing, lieutenant? - how are you, dave?

I just came down to see If you guys were still

Collecting your paychecks,

Since you send all the heavy Work down to manhattan south.

So what do we got here?

We got a kid Who comes out of the past--

No record, No history of any violence.

He signs his bankbook over To this karen foster,

And then he goes and tries To shoot the d.A.

Who prosecuted her.

Probably blow his brains out After.

Yeah, but why burton first?

Well, you know burton.

Yeah, but there's no plea Bargaining.

I mean, she admitted she did it Before burton got to her.

She didn't even have To do that.

We had her cold.

She sat up with the woman All night

With a knife in her hand.

Next morning, the chef Walks in and finds her there.

Anything else?

You know something?

I know less now than I did When I walked in here.

I'm not sure I even feel sorry for her.

Listen, I lived with the case.

She was a bad penny.

Sweet smile, innocent face,

And the only thing that kept her From being a hooker was,

Uh, she gave it away.

Hey, that's a pretty heavy Number,

I mean, Even for an apprentice hooker.

She never even Gave us the reason.

You come up with one, And I'll buy it.

Listen, whatever I can do To help, huh?

You got a deal.

Kojak.

- hello. - theo, we got to talk.

Can you come in right away?

I don't know What the hell it is.

That's why I want You to come in.

Nice.

Thanks. Hold it.

Shut it off.

Hi.

- hi, how you been? - good.

Can use a doubles partner Next saturday.

You're on.

Hey, welcome back From the firing line.

Hi.

Greg, the afternoon papers Say

He was karen foster's boyfriend.

As a matter of fact, he was.

No sweat.

He's in control.

Greg, how are you?

- fine. You? - good.

You know everyone here, Joe--allen.

- sure. - hi.

I just met both your sons Down on the lawn.

Mr. Burton, She's waiting for you now.

Uh-oh.

That means you were very good Or very bad.

Ciao.

What do you think?

She says he's in control.

Maybe she's wrong.

Well, come in.

I got here as soon as I could.

You sound out of breath.

No. I'm not out--

Greg, when a man

Stands in front of me red-faced

And out of breath,

He's either done something Well that I was not a part of,

Or he's trying to hide something

That I was not a party to.

In either case, I'm offended.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Oh, good lord, groping around Like a drunken sailor.

I may not even let you In among my antiques

The next time you call.

You want me to raise The shade?

Lieutenant decker, when The sun goes down, I come out.

It's an arrangement I've had for years.

Now, get to the reason Why you're here,

And leave my comforts To my servants.

Lieutenant kojak Drove up yesterday

To bedford hills state prison To see karen foster.

This morning, He came to see me.

My friends tell me That he is an unpleasant man.

- hard-nosed. - is he honest?

Very.

Well, yes.

That might be sort of unpleasant To some of my friends.

At any rate, I have called the commissioner.

From what I hear about this man, That won't be enough.

Are there any suggestions?

Load him up.

This officer's done it Before to uncooperative cops.

He's got a squad to run, Investigations, depositions.

No way he can be on the parkway Five hours a day

If the d.A.'s office Throws his work back at him.

She murdered her mother.

She signed a confession.

That's all he'll find.

This will all blow over, I assure you.

Greg, you are a charming Young man.

If I had a daughter,

You would make a gentle husband And father.

Unfortunately, what I'm looking For now is hard-headed logic.

Is lieutenant kojak To be a problem, or is he not?

No. I don't think so.

I see.

Decker, put the lid on And screw it down tight,

And I'll call albany.

- mrs. Morrison-- - yes?

Greg, you don't think It's important

That I should know,

That you and lieutenant kojak Have locked horns before,

And often?

I can handle him.

You get along with that man

Until we can determine how much Of a problem he's going to be,

And what more, if anything,

We shall have to do about him.

Hey, you can slice it any way You want, frank.

First, you get a call From the local brass, right?

Then you get a call From the capitol, saying,

"Hey, lay off.

It's not nice for lieutenants To yell at assistant d.A.'s."

How come?

Theo, it's no secret.

Edna morrison, The county chairman,

Has her eyes on burton for d.A.,

And that's just for starters.

State assembly, Attorney general.

Listen, when that grand dame Says to sing,

You better start to yodel.

You know lieutenant decker,

Manhattan north?

Yeah.

Well, this guy Wouldn't activate a sweat gland

If his mother Was dying of thirst.

As soon as I go over there

To look into daniel shaw's Girlfriend's case,

He falls all over himself Being cooperative.

These are the facts You're going to hang by?

Fact number one,

Decker was the investigating Officer on that case.

Fact number two, burton Was nobody in a d.A.'s office,

And fact number three,

Two months after our number one Loser, karen foster's arrested,

Decker, he makes lieutenant,

And burton, he becomes the new Star on the political horizon.

Yeah, those are the facts I'm hanging onto.

Kojak.

Greg burton.

Greg burton.

Oh, I promise to cooperate.

Just don't hurt my family.

Let's have lunch today.

What--what-- You and me together?

I'd love to.

The plaza, 1:00?

I've booked a table.

A table for two? I'll be there.

Swell.

Theo, he's bending backwards.

For once, try.

We'll start with a bottle Of chateau margaux, white.

Good to see you.

Thanks for coming.

I've ordered Some white wine, okay?

Oh, is it as good as beer?

It's a start, And I have a feeling

That's all you and I need.

- can I ask you a question? - sure.

I know what you're doing here,

But what the hell Am I doing here?

That's blunt.

You got to start someplace, Right?

Okay.

I need a retraction, theo.

You said some rough things.

It's already on the air, and who Does it serve but the press?

A retraction.

Remember donovan?

He needed eight hours.

Okay.

Just put a stay on donovan.

You can present whatever new Evidence you've got,

And meanwhile, we'll entertain Motion for bail.

I don't know what to say. I'm overwhelmed.

I am shocked.

Will the real mr. Burton Please stand up?

You get to know me, who knows?

You might discover We both have the same goals.

All right. I'm waiting For the other shoe to fall.

We issue a joint statement.

Regret past misunderstandings, Et cetera.

Mm-hmm.

Pressures of work, et cetera.

Justice delayed is justice Denied.

Mutual respect, Future cooperation, et cetera.

Why am I doing this?

Well, I'll tell you why.

I'm just starting out Politically.

I need friends, not enemies.

At least you're frank.

Just like you.

Hmm?

I'm an optimist.

Either that or you Think I'm a patsy.

Oh, no. I don't think you're a patsy.

Not for a minute.

You don't take a patsy to lunch.

You get rid of him With a phone call.

Uh-uh.

What I think you are Is a hard-headed cop

Justice, fair play,

For me and for the people On the other side of my desk.

So I sit in front of you here And mr. Ward over there, right?

Hmm.

Mr. Ward, please.

I had hoped the lieutenant

And I would come To a meeting of the minds

And, uh, put this silly quarrel Into proper perspective,

But I was too--

Too eager to call it settled.

I shouldn't have called you

Until the lieutenant and I came To an understanding in private,

And I apologize, To both of you.

Well said.

Mr. Ward, mister burton--

So what do I print?

News is news.

Is the argument Settled or isn't it?

What do you say, theo?

Look, yesterday, You fried me in court, right?

And then I follow a lead on A kid who took a shot at you,

And it led to karen foster, A confessed murderess.

You tried her, And you convicted her.

All of a sudden, I get a call from downtown--

Heavy stuff--and then you call,

Talking about friendship And understanding

And get together and like that, And you know something?

That wine--it smells beautiful.

The company--

Down the tubes, baby.

It was great meeting, counselor.

You know, you answered a lot Of questions for me,

Except the big one.

What the hell Are you so scared about?

Did you get it all, baby?

And that's the news From abroad.

Now we turn to news Of local interest.

The open air conflict between Assistant d.A. Greg burton

And lieutenant theo kojak

Has exploded Into a full donnybrook.

At a luncheon today, billed As a hatchet burying ceremony,

Lieutenant kojak attacked The d.A.'s office with charges--

Hey, that was exciting.

Yeah, well, come on.

I didn't come here To look at the view, rizzo.

Geddes says that freighter Is still coming in.

Lieutenant, We're looking for you.

Yeah, I was up at bedford hills.

Again?

Boy, uh, Did you read the paper?

I wish I got taken to lunch By a d.A. With muscle.

I'd make captain in a month.

That's enough of that, okay?

I've got a million dollars' Worth of smack coming down,

And where's your stoolie?

Where's your cover?

What are you doing About verification?

Lieutenant, We're doing it very carefully.

I mean, I know you got a lot Of pressure on you and all that,

But don't sweat this one, okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, well...

Yeah, if the captain Could see me now.

Now, you remember, It's our secret.

You know, I've been wanting To do this for years?

Yeah, but here,

Enough is enough.

Just hold it.

Fantastic.

There you go.

Why do you come here?

I come to fly my kite.

You want to know why danny Tried to kill that man.

Yes.

What's it matter? It's all over.

Everything's over.

You know, Burton didn't convict you.

You confessed.

To matricide.

Yeah.

Well...

You've got to have a reason For something like that.

You know, maybe if you told me A reason, not an excuse.

When you find out, Will she be alive again?

No, but it may stop You from dying.

Uh, assistant d.A. Dunn, I was just on my way

Up to your office To give you a deposition.

I'm sorry. I'm running late for a meeting.

You've been re-slotted for 2:00 This afternoon.

Hey, look at me, huh?

Remember, public servant, Overworked too?

That's tough.

Hey, what's with you guys, Huh? Why start a war?

Ask your lieutenant, baby.

What do you mean, My statement was incomplete?

I've been making out complete Statements for 18 years.

Oh, do it again?

Yeah, okay.

That kid, karen foster, She went to st. Victor's.

Got pretty good grades.

Now, who asked you To look into that case?

Well, I had a little time, Lieutenant.

The mother superior says that Karen's old lady had this thing

About making her kid a big name In figure skating,

And she kept her at it day And night,

But the kid still managed To be a good student.

Now, look, if you don't have

Enough to do on your own cases, Let me know, will you?

I'll give you Something else to do.

Okay?

Saperstein.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Kojak.

Uh, lieutenant, I'm all Tied up. I can't get back there.

Hey, crocker, I want a full, In-depth report on geddes.

Now, why don't I have it?

Stavros is busy on that Surveillance.

I don't have the book On geddes

Because they threw the donaldson Case back in my face

This morning, and dunn Just cancelled our appointment.

On what grounds?

Oh, never mind.

Hey, do the best you can, okay?

Hey, theo.

Long time, no see.

Hey, vito.

To rikers island.

Why me?

Uh, because you're a very Cooperative assistant d.A.

You know, this food Is bad for me,

And I think today It's gonna be even worse.

It has to do with burton, right?

Yeah. He won't even let me see her.

You want some Of this knackwurst?

I need your help.

You said rough things about him.

Hey, tell me one thing I said About him that isn't true.

To pressure my department.

It was suggested That we scrutinize

Your reports More carefully.

Locking horns with a guy In the edna morrison camp.

Now, why should my gall bladder Suffer?

Oh, good, So we get the writ

And bring her down To rikers island, okay?

And then what?

And I take her For a tour of the city.

Are you crazy?

No way a prisoner Could be out of custody.

So you go to your friends In the department of correction

And you tell him, We got new evidence in the case,

And you got to bring the Prisoner down to your office.

To your office, ta-da.

And you take the long way?

Well, a little bit.

I am a very content Assistant d.A.

I want to get old in the job.

Don't ask me, theo.

Angus, four years ago,

You came to me on your hands And knees, begging for help,

And I helped you,

I hope you know What we're getting into.

I don't know What we're getting into, angus,

But I want to find out What we're getting into.

Edna morrison.

That broad's got more money

And power than boss tweed In the old days.

She makes and breaks guys Bigger than us,

Just for the fun Of pulling strings.

Okay, I'll try To remember the name.

And, uh, what can I tell you?

Hey, You didn't finish your dinner.

This way, please.

Mrs. Morrison will be with you Promptly.

Thank you.

You won't be sorry.

I don't know how to thank you.

What are party stalwarts for?

Yeah.

Lieutenant kojak.

Yes.

Come in.

Thank you.

May I?

After 30 years of party Caucusing, which, as you know,

Is just another word For a drunken brawl,

I've become immune To cigar smoke.

Good.

Well...

What do you do, hat tricks?

No. Mostly, I observe.

- are you observing me? - oh, goodness.

The days of the rubber hose Are long gone.

I'm being grilled.

Mrs. Morrison, I am a lieutenant of police.

You know my name.

You knew I was coming,

Because the guard At the gate called you

And told you I was coming.

Now, it's not often that you're Visited by lieutenants

Of police.

Although, I do know Some who'd give their right arm

To have an audience with you.

So why don't you just ask me Why I'm here?

Are you saying That I have political power?

An armada.

But you still Haven't asked me.

Well, I'm flattered.

I'd always seen myself

As no more Than a few old battle wagons,

But I enjoy my role, lieutenant.

I'm sure your work Has added meaning to your life.

My work is upholding the law.

And mine Is disseminating power.

It's not quite sex,

But it keeps the adrenaline Going.

Supposing you lost your job--

Supposing You weren't lieutenant kojak

At this time in your life--

Gracious, Are you applying pressure?

I mean, like that gentleman That just walked out of here.

In your case, It's just a supposition.

And you still haven't asked me Why I'm here.

I try not to ask anything Of anyone.

I dislike rejections.

But I'm sure you'll get around To it, in your own way.

Okay, lady, enough.

I just don't like What's happening to me.

I don't like being pushed Around.

I don't like my men Being pushed around.

That's heavy stuff.

I've heard About your little war.

Then hear this.

There's no way That an assistant d.A.

Can apply that kind of muscle.

And there's no way That burton could have somebody

From albany call down in order To get my train derailed.

Greg burton Is a good public servant,

And everybody knows it.

- are you sure? - I know it.

That's fantastic that you Could know that so clearly.

I hope You're not always so sarcastic.

This is playing ping-pong, Baby,

And I'm telling you right now, The game's over.

You're behind it, And don't say no,

Because if you say no, I'm gonna say yes.
