Ah, when she was ten she saw Them damn near kill him when

They broke into their apartment To arrest him.

Yeah, well, He killed a junkie.

Ran from the scene. The cops on hot pursuit.

That's the way I remember it.

Not exactly.

According to k.C., he says He was knocked out from behind

In the connection's hotel room.

When he came to, The pusher was shot to death,

The house dick had cuffs on him, And he was calling the police.

So he panicked and just Took off, cuffs and all.

Ah, he was a fall guy.

Well, that was a long time Ago, but, look,

If you want I could always Assign a man to follow her.

If she found out I was doing Anything behind her back,

She'd kill me.

Maybe I'm just being a little Overprotective or something.

I mean, hell, I'd like to follow Her home myself, you know?

Well, if you need any help, Don't be ashamed to ask.

About that high "C," Stay out of my shower, okay?

That fat guy on television.

My barber won't take Me anymore.

Well, very simple. Under the Yellow pages you find poodles.

Where's the salt and pepper? You shouldn't eat this stuff.

It's bad for you.

Hold on a second.

You handle him. Hold on.

You got a mr. Al grant On line three.

You want to bring me a cup Of coffee, stavros?

No.

But I will anyway.

All right, what did I do, Forget to pay my tab?

I'm calling From francesca's apartment.

Somebody was going Through her personal things

When she got home last night.

You know, I wouldn't be Surprised if she suspected us.

Now, tell me, is she willing To cooperate or not?

I don't know, And frankly, I don't care.

There's been a crime, And she's in danger.

Look, I'll hire a private eye If I have to do it.

Take it easy, Will you, al?

And relax, I'll send a man.

Could you come too, please?

Of course.

Good, then I'll eat it.

Now, look, do you remember A musician, k.C. Milano,

Early '60s?

Yeah, he played the clarinet.

Sure, he went up for murder.

I never did get To see him in person though.

Well, I'm interested In the case, okay?

So you look up the records And let me know.

- yes, sir. - crocker.

Hey, why me, lieutenant?

This is gonna put me so far Behind, you know?

Because I need a real charmer, Crocker, you understand?

And don't complain Until you see the victim.

Come, my son.

Yeah, I'll need a gun And some shells.

Oh, any kind.

$200 bucks?

Well, I thought I'd get it last night.

I'll--I'll try again today.

Okay.

May I speak To deputy warden calder, please?

Lieutenant, I'll call a security company,

And I'll have Them change the locks.

Personally, I think the most Important thing you can do,

Miss milano,

Is to protect yourself,

And bars wouldn't be a bad idea.

Lieutenant, in six months

My father gets out of prison After 14 years.

Bars would be a very bad idea, I think.

Have you found anything Else missing yet, miss milano?

Maybe a scrapbook Of clippings,

But mostly, He just looked through things.

Oh,

When he pushed you away, did You fall against this picture?

No.

Hmm.

Well, what we got here Is a very neat intruder.

Picture falls on the floor, And he hangs it up.

Crocker, do you see that print Over there?

Now, you take it And get it lifted.

Hello, mr. Calder?

Hi, francesca milano.

Somebody broke into my place Last night, and I would really

Like to talk to my father About it, if I could.

Do you think you could Get him to the phone?

Well, if I'm not mistaken he--

Hold on a second.

Yeah.

I thought he'd be with you By now.

What?

Well, he got an early release

Two days ago because of those Heart attacks he's been having.

He's not here. He's on the outside.

Uh, thank you.

Did you reach your father Okay?

Yeah, yeah, He's calling me back.

We'll send a forensic team Over, okay?

Look for fingerprints,

You'll get a free dust job On your apartment.

How about those clippings He stole, what were they about?

Personal things.

My reviews, that's all.

Lieutenant, I don't want The police dusting this place,

Or whatever it is that you do.

Oh.

And if you don't mind.

Francesca.

Somebody follows you home.

Somebody breaks Into your apartment.

Now I've gotta do something.

No, I'm sorry, al. No.

I don't want the police In my life.

I mean it.

Good day.

Captain, we're dealing here With a young woman

Who distrusts the police.

Besides, she's been Living on her own so long

That she just won't accept Help from anybody else.

She won't even let Me mail a letter for her.

Now, her apartment was broken Into, property was stolen.

Exactly what was This property?

A scrapbook full of clippings About her career.

No, that scrapbook

Was full of clippings About her father's murder trial.

We discussed that Before calling you.

Oh, no.

She specifically told me they Were clippings about herself.

Why lie about that?

Here's the picture I walked off with saturday.

Thanks, francesca thought That might get lost.

Big juicy thumbprint.

You know, case or no case, I'm getting very curious.

Give me some scotch tape, Will you, frank?

A little powder. Thanks.

So this intruder was interested In her father, not in her.

Maybe he took something else She's not telling us about.

- like what? - letters?

Hey, who knows?

Milano, he's getting out of jail In six months.

There's two people who've got

To have that on their minds.

Who's that?

Whoever really killed that Pusher and the house detective

Who supposedly framed milano For it.

Here, try checking that print

Against anybody who's heavily Involved in the case.

Okay.

Defense name Any other suspect?

Yeah, there's a joe addison.

He was the wholesaler Who supplied the pusher.

He had some sort Of running argument with him.

The problem was that addison Had ten phonies

Who swore that addison Was in a pool hall

Shooting pool At the time of the murder.

You know this addison?

Yeah, we know him.

He's into pimping, dope, he's Got a local operation uptown.

Is he a murderer?

Murder, al? No, animals don't murder.

They just kill.

"Dear marion, my lawyers

"Now think that the real killer Is someone named addison.

"Unfortunately, he's got a pack Of flunkies ready to swear

"He was shooting pool With them all night

"Way up around 125th street.

"If we can't break that alibi, The detective's testimony

"Will probably send me Straight for jail for 20 years.

"I think I'll die without you,

"And being away from francesca

Is something I don't even dare imagine."

Hey, lieutenant, You are brilliant.

The thumbprint from francesca's

Is a perfect match With one from the milano case.

Yeah, whose? K.C. Milano?

That's impossible. He's in jail.

I got dannemora On the phone right now,

And he was released two days ago Because of a bad pump.

Francesca said he was there,

And that's another lie She laid on us.

Who are you talking to?

Deputy warden calder.

He's putting some heat On milano's cellmate.

A guy named tebbits. See if he knows anything.

Crocker?

Yeah.

Tebbits gave him a name.

Mark fish.

He wanted to know where he Could buy a gun when he got out.

Mark fish.

You know what milano Was planning?

Yeah, he wanted To clear his name

For his daughter's sake.

Okay. Thank you.

Mark fish, Hangs out 8th and 46th.

Mark, by any other name, Would smell just as fishy.

Mark fish.

Now, look, you take stavros,

You go pick him up, And see if he got to milano yet.

Go ahead.

Hello.

I don't know if I'm calling Exactly the right place,

But I'm trying To locate joe addison.

No, no.

I got his name a few years Ago from somebody downtown.

Was she a hooker?

Sure, honey.

I mean, why do you think I'm calling?

Seventh pocket.

And what time do you suppose He might be there?

Around 9:00.

Well, thanks.

- when do I see the gun? - take it easy.

Here.

It's already loaded.

Hey.

How do I know this thing works?

You got a lifetime guarantee.

Hey, fish!

You stay at the hospital Until they send him home.

Right.

Yeah, he got off lucky.

You know, he hurt his elbow A little bit and like that.

- he's all right. - oh, that's great.

Okay, milano's got a gun,

And he's either Looking for addison,

That house detective, smith,

Or both.

Saperstein's gonna try to track Him down first thing tomorrow.

Where's francesca?

She called my office Around two.

She asked me to advance her A thousand bucks

Against her contract,

So my secretary just took it Over to her place.

Well, her phone's been off The hook for over an hour now.

She hides a key In the hallway.

Come on.

I'm looking for A mr. Addison.

Close enough to save Your life

If you can help me save Someone else's.

You see, my father just Got out of jail for a murder

He thinks you did 14 years ago.

Milano?

He came to my place When I wasn't there

And stole a scrapbook.

There was a photo of you in it As well as some others.

He may be out to kill you For all I know.

I am willing to pay To help protect both of you.

$1,000.

You have enough people To stop him without hurting him.

I know if I could talk him Out of this

If I only had the chance.

Man comes up here To start trouble,

Good citizens got to stop him, Don't they?

No, no, That's not what I--

I could have gone To the police.

You're a damn fool Not to, lady.

Francesca?

Well, what's all this?

She saved all his letters For 14 years.

"My lawyers now think The real killer

Was a dealer Named joe addison."

Of all the letters here,

She picks up one That names joe addison.

Seventh pocket. Oh, yeah, on 134th street.

What's wrong?

I mean, if this chick went to See addison before her father,

She's got more guts than brains, That's what's wrong.

- well, she's scared, theo. - seventh pocket.

That's 134th street.

You going alone?

If I bring a bunch Of cops up there with me,

I'm gonna start a war.

Addison, you got it all.

You got those big wheels Outside by the curb.

You got all the pushers And the runners as friends,

And all the working girls That money can buy.

Addison, you are king Of the block.

Now, you tell blood to move, Or mr. Blood's gonna bleed.

King of this room Is all I need to be right now.

Don't back down from me.

I'm sorry too.

Crocker, Manhattan south detectives.

Well, I couldn't sleep anyhow, Lieutenant,

And I figured that I might As well track down

This robert smith before Francesca's father does.

Well, roust somebody Else out of bed, all right?

Have them stake out the seventh Pocket on 134th street.

And be careful up there.

Yeah, milano could be looking For addison.

That's not a small thing To do for a stranger.

Well, we're all strangers Unless we choose otherwise.

Yeah, well, look.

Your father, where did he Get the money to buy that gun?

He may have thought He'd find it in my apartment.

Well, how about the rest Of the quartet?

I think he heard from joe Penney every now and then,

But I don't know About the others.

Joe penney.

Joe penney, ah.

From the birdland To the pits.

The bowery follies.

Can you believe that?

Okay.

Can I ask why you're looking For this individual?

We just want to make sure No one gets hurt, mr. Smith.

Were you involved In a murder trial back in 1963?

Sorry, you got The wrong party.

I've waiting for milano To get out for years.

It's gotta be about him.

Bobby, maybe we ought to go To the police.

Who's that gonna help now?

Paula's safe now, but addison Could still come after you.

Keep the doors locked.

Don't go out for anything.

Where are you going?

Where I always go, To work.

If milano makes the wrong move On me.

I defend myself.

Why don't you ask The waitress?

See what he's drinking.

Hey, joe. Look, I'm sorry to butt in.

I'm lieutenant kojak, Manhattan south.

I'd like to ask you a couple Of questions.

What did I do now?

It's about k.C. Milano.

K.C.'s been pulling hard time For 14 years.

I know.

But he got out a couple Of days ago and with a gun.

And we got a hunch he's looking To put the record straight.

Well, it wasn't right What they did to k.C.

I mean, no way he would Just jump up

And knock off Some pusher.

The man wasn't even A junkie.

Truth of the matter is, Marion, his wife,

That was her problem, Not his.

I'm a coffee freak, thanks.

What did you put in there, Anisette?

Hey, I used to do it that way All the time.

I remember.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, francesca.

Last time I saw you, you Could stand on a grand piano.

Remember in birdland? On the stage?

Yeah, we'd be rehearsing, And you'd run coffee for us.

I must say,

You do look the best part Of your mom, you know.

And I'm sorry to hear About her passing away.

That was five years ago, joe.

She was feeling really good By then.

- how's my father, joe? - your father?

How would I know, baby?

Joe, he's out.

He doesn't want to see me. He doesn't want to talk to me.

Well, that's not so.

Joe, if there's anything That you can tell us,

Anything to help, please.

Okay. All right.

He was here.

He borrowed 200 bucks,

And we talked about the good Old days and other stuff.

What other stuff?

Well, he said Whenever he read about you,

They only mention two things.

That k.C. Milano Was your father

And that your father Was a murderer.

Oh, no.

But that never hurt me.

I know, but it hurts him.

That's why he went to find That detective

That said he saw him shoot That pusher.

He was gonna get him To tell the truth.

So it's smith not addison He's after.

All right, joe, That helps.

How was he, joe? How was he?

Scared.

But does he ever Love and respect you.

Told me that you got a voice That sleeps in your heart,

And your soul's pure.

And well, all he wishes Is that you had others

To be close to like we all Had each other in the old days.

I wish that too.

Well, maybe you got them, Just don't know.

Your husband, mrs. Smith.

I don't know where he is.

Please, mrs. Smith.

Help us before somebody Else gets hurt.

Who are you?

I'm k.C. Milano's daughter.

I've always felt So sorry for you.

Your father Didn't kill anybody.

You should know that.

I always have.

Well, who did, Mrs. Smith?

His name is addison.

He's a cruel man.

He told my husband To cover for him or else.

Or else what?

Our son was four At the time.

Addison had seen him At the hotel with his father.

He said he would kill him

If bobby didn't frame Your father.

He'd kill him.

Anybody else That would have been a bluff,

But not with addison.

So...

We...

We made a decision.

Your father in jail,

For our son alive.

Well, what would you have done, Miss milano?

Mrs. Smith, Addison is dead.

If your husband and my father Were to hurt each other now,

It would be too cruel for words.

Would you please tell us Where he is?

Yes, yes.

I thought I'd recognize you.

I got old, fast.

You got a back room Where we can do some talking?

Yeah.

Be back in a minute, jeff.

Now you write down The truth.

Everything that really happened

About me,

About yourself,

About why you put me In jail.

You owe it to me.

You owe it To my daughter too.

You got a bartender Here named smith?

He went in the back office.

Alone?

No, with another guy.

Do me a favor, Go call a patrol.

Think what you did To us.
