Mr. Abernathy,

My fee for your mother's Treatment and operation

Has been due for the better part Of a year.

Now just who in the hell do you Think you're dealing with?

The man who killed My mother.

You and your mother Knew the risks of surgery.

Unnecessary surgery.

I will not authorize The insurance company

To pay you For my mother's murder,

Nor will I pay the deductable For her murder, dr. Shane.

That man works for a man To whom I owe money,

Money you owe me.

Now, you will draw $16,000 From the bank,

And you'll have it here By 2:30.

I will not pay you, Dr. Shane.

Mr. Flynn.

Little mouse, Name that tune.

"I guess I'd better Change my plans."

Right. You have got to change Your plans.

Run along to the bank, Little mouse.

Do you need me to change Your diapers first, irving?

Too bad mr. Dunvalo

Can't give you Any more credit.

Could win your money back Betting on dallas tonight.

If I had any credit With billy dunvalo,

I wouldn't have needed him To order you to collect my fee

From irving abernathy.

And do you know why The d.A. Sent me here?

I'll tell you why.

Every time you guys Mess up on miranda,

Escobedo, search and seizure,

And either the d.A. Can't bring charges

Or the judge dismisses,

We lose.

Now, what have I been Telling you guys?

We screwed it up.

Now look, Fellas go up or go free

According to how we bust them, Right?

That's real.

Now, you know what it is To make a good case.

You know what it is To--to waste all that time,

All that money And all that work.

And ending your case By making a bum arrest?

That's sabotage. Sabotage!

You know, theo, you're really Beautiful when you're angry.

I hate to leave you guys,

But I've got other Squad rooms to visit.

- bye. -bye.

- goodbye. - all right, gentlemen,

The d.A. Has talked To the commissioner.

The commissioner has talked To internal affairs.

I.A.D. Will be glad To come down hard on--

All right, frank. She's gone.

Okay. Take over.

You got to have the form out While she's here?

What are you talking about? You and I beat the spread

- on four underdogs. - shut up!

All right, everybody, Back to work.

Now see, I don't have time For this.

Scared, mouse?

Pennsylvania station.

Hello, ballantine ambulance? This is dr. Theodore shane.

Dispatch an ambulance To east 37th street,

Between park and lexington.

There's an injured man On the sidewalk.

Police? There's been A terrible fight,

But it wasn't really A fight.

My name is edith leverkuhe.

Why are you wasting time Asking me about it

When there is a man lying hurt At east 37th street near park?

Just give me a city ambulance Here, pronto.

Why are his eyes So glassy?

He's in shock.

Oh, here.

Ballantine ambulance? Dr. Shane.

Cancel, I repeat, Cancel the ambulance I called.

All right, Here's the ambulance.

Since when have city ambulances Been caddies?

We got a call to cancel, Officer.

A chicken doesn't have a part That looks like this.

- here, let me have it. - uh, just hold on.

Dr. Garfield at bellevue.

Theo kojak, steve.

Now, what do you got In your emergency room

On this winter monday That I'll love?

All right, you hold on To the uniformed cops,

And I'll be down there, Uh, quick.

Tod flynn.

Kneecaps broken And in shock.

The kind of a guy Who goes around

Beating up gamblers For his boss.

And who's his boss, rizzo?

Billy dunvalo.

Billy dunvalo. A shy and A bookie rolled into one.

A criminal That nobody charges.

Hmm. I mean, what gambler's Gonna admit

To being into a bookie, right?

I guess everybody bets A deuce or two,

But heavy gambling, I don't know.

So, what do we got?

Tod flynn with his Kneecaps broken.

Is it justice Poking its head up?

Or something nasty We can all believe in?

Gambling is a sickness

With massive social Consequences.

Mm-hmm.

Where is it written, huh?

I say san francisco Can beat dallas,

Or at least Beat the spread.

There's upsets all the time, Gable.

Better read the sports page.

Hello, steve, gable.

I'm lieutenant kojak, Manhattan south.

- hi. - what's coming down with flynn?

Now, I want you to save All the "Perpetrators"

And "Aforementions" And all that cop talk

For your uf-61 report, okay?

Uh, lieutenant, I can't make out a uf-61.

Oh, what are we doing? Hiring illiterates now?

Permit me, lieutenant. Form uf-61 only applies

When there's the report By a victim of a crime,

Not the report Of an accident.

- explain. - flynn says he slipped

And fell onto the pavement.

What he told me was that He tripped on his walking stick.

Which would still Be an accident,

For which we don't fill out Form uf-61.

So I filled out the form That us medical types make out

When we treat injury accidents Of a suspicious nature.

And I like you, So I called too.

Which means I can still ask Embarrassing questions

Without the uf-61.

Where's flynn now?

They took him up To 1042.

And he's not too heavily sedated To control what he's saying,

So don't ask.

Over-sedating is bad medicine.

Would I want you Not to like me?

All right, Let me see your notes.

Do you find it funny that flynn Says it was an accident?

Yes, sir. He wouldn't even Tell us what he was doing

On east 37th street. I think he's hiding something.

I bet.

How about this Eyewitness of yours?

Mrs. Leverkuhe?

Uh, how good Is any eyewitness?

Well, you don't make out The uf-61 report,

So you get to go home And watch the football game.

How lucky can you get?

It's the month For underdogs, I guess.

Mm-hmm.

Tod, I want to know Who did this.

I don't know. I swear.

Had to be a big guy To take you.

Yeah.

I told the cops It was an accident.

That was definitely right. Definitely right...

Oh, do come in.

It's a pleasure.

Well, thank you Very much.

Now then,

Billy dunvalo, Visiting tod flynn

To make sure he gets his Workman's compensation.

It couldn't have happened To a nicer guy.

Yeah, hi, kojak.

Who called you?

I didn't, billy.

It was an accident.

It's theo, isn't it?

Lieutenant kojak.

And what happened To your dapper boy here?

You know, I'm not buying That story that he, uh--

That the nijinsky Of the bone breakers

Tripped while doing The light fantastic.

I was walking.

No. Not walking.

I mean, you're hurt Too bad for that.

What's your version, Dunvalo?

He was hit by a car.

A car?

Oh, tsk, tsk. You are fibbing me.

Now here, See these numbers?

That's my phone At manhattan south.

You see those other Numbers here?

The one with the hyphen?

That's the amount of years

You'll be sitting In the big house

For misprision of a felony.

Tell him what that is, Dunvalo.

- some crime, right? - misprision of a felony

Is withholding knowledge Of the existence of a--

A serious crime, Like felony assault, from me.

Hey, look, when you open your Eyes, would you think about me?

As for you, dunvalo,

Out in the corridor, baby.

Thank you.

Hey, you're an old pro. What's this hotdog act?

What? You got no time To chit or to chat?

You know, you bookies, You pay out a lot of bread.

You know what I think?

I think that the underdogs Bets bit you so bad

Because you didn't have time To lay off the underdog bets.

So?

So I think you got a very Serious cash flow problem.

You need cash, so you send flynn Out with his ebony walking stick

To collect, true?

Only the strong survive.

But you won't For much longer.

You know why?

Because one of your competitors Pulled off a brutal

But elegant move by busting Flynn's kneecaps.

Let's face it, No collector, no credibility.

Who's going to want To pay you?

I think there's a trade war Going on,

And I think they used Flynn's kneecaps

As pearl harbor And clark field.

But it was an accident.

Ah. And that little fib Proves to me

That there's a trade war Going on.

And I'm going to pick off On both sides, and get to you.

Be serious.

Forsooth.

Beware the ides of march, Baby.

Big play, big play.

- watch this pass. - all right, nice pass!

Who said they weren't going To get on the board at all?

- who said that? - all right, I said it.

Time.

Break up the huddle.

I want word from the streets on Who broke tod flynn's kneecaps.

Want me to call Organized crime intelligence

To find who's taking over Independent bookies?

Splendid idea.

- rizzo. - yeah?

I want you to stay on top Of billy dunvalo.

Do what he does, Anything like that.

- that ought to be easy for you. - okay.

Yeah, saperstein,

The ballantine ambulance Company.

Somebody called for and then Canceled a ballantine ambulance.

East 37th street, 3:00 p.M.

- after that, you relieve rizzo. - okay.

Can I do anything, Lieutenant?

Yes, stavros.

I want you to find the cabbie Who picked up a fare

At east 37th street, Took them to penn station.

And you know how many Cab companies there are.

We get a description Of the fare?

Mmm, a dedicated man.

Hmm, thanks a lot.

Well, the description Doesn't fit

For a guy who could Take out flynn,

But the uniforms got this Description from a witness.

Let's see: 5'6" or 5'8", Male caucasian, brown hair,

Slight of build And, uh, mousey clothes.

5'6"? A practitioner Of the martial arts?

Yes, perhaps.

Now, robert crocker And myself,

We're going to use The socratic method

And gather the truth Within her

When she arrives here At our acropolis.

And in the meantime, Mr. Crocker,

You come here and tell me How you manage to keep

That camel hair coat clean In the city of new york.

Hello?

Mr. Abernathy, You assaulted someone.

And you're now a criminal.

Unless I have the money You owe me,

I'll see that you're arrested, Convicted, and sent to prison.

Moreover, you'll lose Your bonding

And your accountant's license.

Is that quite clear?

Do you want the police to know That your unnecessary surgery

Killed my mother To pay your gambling debts?

You can go and--and--and go To the devil.

I mean, did I really see A little mouse of a man

Beat up a much bigger man?

No one at my group therapy Would even listen about it

Until I got into my own anger At not being listened to.

But when I got into my anger,

Then they even asked me What kind of a car

The little man fell on With his sweaty hands.

His hands fell on the car?

Do you remember Which one?

Of course. It takes exquisite panache

To wear a blue rolls-royce Phaeton successfully.

Wear a rolls?

It can be such a tacky Automobile, don't you think?

Uh, the license number, Do you remember--?

I remember only three numbers: One, seven, three.

One, seven: seventeen.

- I was a debutante when I was 17. - really?

Forgive me.

Um, three.

I was married twice.

Uh, use the phone On your desk.

Go ahead.

How tall would you say Detective crocker is?

Six feet.

You want to see if I can judge A person's height accurately.

Lieutenant, the man I saw Beating the other man

Was 5'8" if he was Standing up straight.

And he did look like A poor little mouse of a man

Who was into his own anger For the first time in his life.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Leverkuhe.

I know you've tried.

Excuse me.

Vehicle identification

Is putting the rolls In the computer.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Leverkuhe.

- you've been a marvelous help. - oh.

Look, it's getting Kind of late,

So I think I'll have One of my men take you home.

Oh, I can take a taxi, Unless someone else steals it.

Mrs. Leverkuhe, our criminal Identification bureau

Will be sending down a list Of suspect photos tomorrow.

Um, may I ask you to join Detective crocker

At your convenience?

We'd like you to look at, uh, Some portraits of mice

Who've been discovered In the cheese, so to speak.

Good. Then I've been Of some help.

I know you needed help.

I really heard you.

Hey, uh, she's some kind Of witness.

Oh, yes. She's made some very Interesting observations

About your physical Dimensions.

Did you do your homework?

And lucky night. It's on your desk.

I found the cabbie.

His fare was A male caucasian,

Late 30s, A sweaty little guy,

And he matches the description Of your witnesses.

The cabbie took him To the long island railroad

At penn station. He didn't have any baggage.

Baggage? To go to long island?

No, no. That's a good question That stavros asked.

- thank you, stavros. - thank you, lieutenant.

- saperstein? - oh, uh, a dr. Theodore shane

Ordered the ambulance.

Office...429 east 37th.

Oh, that's right across The street from leverkuhe.

And I wonder where The good doctor lives.

Or is that information On my desk

Waiting for my perusal

So you can sit here And watch the ballgame?

Doctor, can you tell me why you Canceled that ambulance call?

Oh, quite frankly, I thought better

Of getting involved When I saw the woman

Go to flynn's assistance.

You did say the victim's name Was flynn, didn't you?

Mm? Yeah. I understand.

Malpractice suits And all of that.

How long were you looking Out the window?

I don't know.

Oh, you spend a lot of time Looking out the window?

Of course not.

It's just that Sometimes I do.

49ers are winning,

And everybody's Looking at the game.

So, you got a bet On the game?

I couldn't get a bet down With a friend.

I understand that.

Who would you have bet?

The 49ers.

You're kidding?

Well, it's just you don't look Like the kind of guy

Who'd bet the underdog.

All right, doctor.

Uh, maybe we'll chat again.

Now, if you want To talk to me,

I'll be at manhattan south.

We're here to serve The public and all of that.

Thank you very much.

Fourteen blue rolls-royce Phaetons

Registered in the state Of new york,

None of them beginning or ending With the license number 173.

All right, now,

Detective stavros Will pass amongst you

With a list Of rolls-royces.

Now, I want you To call the police department

In each municipality Where these cars are registered.

We're looking for a blue one That was on east 37th street

When tod flynn was taken.

Now, if one of Your fellow officers

Should call and say He has the car,

Have him hold it until We get forensics down there

To try to lift the prints From the trunk of the car.

Dr. Meredith, Dr. Meredith,

Go to the white phone In nurse's station.

Dr. Meredith, dr. Meredith,

Go to the white phone In nurse's...

Do you know how bad you being Hurt is screwing up the world?

It's crazy.

You didn't file a complaint,

So I've got a cop In the hall.

He's been on me Since yesterday,

And he's even boring To talk to.

I can't even get a whisper On who did this to you.

I'm sorry, billy.

I hate to ask you,

But if you made A complaint,

Maybe it would get The cops off me.

All right. If you want, billy.

Take care of the nurses.

You're a stand-up guy, tod.

Hey, uh, rossi.

Rizzo.

R-I-z-z-o.

There's no compassion In any of these faces.

I guess that's why They're career criminals.

Yes, I suppose so.

Oh, but our little mouse Isn't here.

May I have some more Of your awful coffee,

Or do you have to work?

Dr. Shane, It's mr. Dee calling.

I'll talk to him.

Did you maybe see what the guy Who hurt tod looked like?

Tod says he never Saw him before.

I'd appreciate your help In this matter, doctor.

- very much. - will you forgive my debt?

To protect my position And my credibility,

Definitely.

If your description Gives me the guy

Who screwed it up In the first place.

I think I can squeeze in An appointment for you.

Not at your office. I got a new cop on me.

Give me a time and a place, And I'll lose him.

The library. 3:00

And the automobile never left Tuxedo park, the chauffeur said.

Well, if I lived there, I wouldn't leave either.

Thank you, sergeant.

Negative on these cars, Lieutenant.

Oh, that's terrific. That's five more to go.

Rizzo, do you have Any glad tidings?

Maybe. Flynn filed A complaint.

- and who's on dunvalo? - I got saperstein on him.

Oh.

Assailant unknown To victim.

And flynn told you He's over 200 pounds and 6 feet?

Here.

I mean, flynn couldn't admit To being taken by a mouse,

So he said It's an accident.

Which brings us down On dunvalo,

Who wants to get rid of us, Right?

So he tells flynn, "Make a complaint."

So flynn, he lies about The size of the perpetrator.

Why? Because his pride Was hurt.

Granted.

But in terms of the time and Energy we're putting into it,

I mean, is it worth it?

We were wrong about the war Of the bookies.

Should the mountain labor To produce a mouse?

Captain mcneil.

Yeah.

Mazel tov.

That was saperstein.

Dunvalo used three cabs, A subway,

And a sale at bloomingdale's To shake him.

That's wonderful.

the history of agriculture?

Who knew anybody cared?

Which makes this A safe place to meet.

As for us, it's agreed?

I gave you my word.

What does the creep That broke tod look like?

Don't you want to know His name and address first?

- huh? - irving paul abernathy.

His address Is on the card.

Kew gardens.

Abernathy? The guy that owed--

Shh. It's a library.

Listen, doctor, Thank you.

At least you'll get Your money from him.

Money?

What's that next To my good name?

Then?

Do you really Have to ask?

Manhattan south, Detective crocker.

Yeah, hold on.

Hey lieuten-- uh, it's Chief of police, larchmon.

While I find out from miller Where the car is.

Go ahead, use the phone In my office.

Mr. Harvey miller, Please.

Yeah, this is lieutenant kojak, New york police department.

Hello, mr. Miller.

Yes, you can be of great Assistance to us.

The police in larchmont told us That your wife said

You were parked near East 37th street yesterday.

Right.

Now we...

Well, we have reason to believe That a felon we're after

Left fingerprints On the trunk of your car.

The boot of--

The boot? Yeah.

Could you give me The address?

Thank you, mr. Miller.

Crocker!

Forensics's ready. Rolls is there? Terrific.

It's a garage In midtown.

Our mouse's prints Are about to get washed off

Right about exactly now.

- get it right. - look at that.

Oh, come on, come on.

Hey, hold it!

Hey, freeze! Police! Hold it!

Don't do anything.

Don't you know What "Freeze" means?

Our felon has a definite Perspiration problem.

He practically etched his prints Into the car's finish.

A beautiful set, but...

Oh, n.Y.P.D. Doesn't have A name to go with the prints,

However...

I wired the prints To the f.B.I.,

And they'll either come up With the name

Or add the prints To their collection.

- what do you do? - me?

I tell you, I know Where to look for the name,

Even if the f.B.I. Doesn't have it.

You just thought Of where now?

Oh, who has time to think?

It's my age, my training, And my experience.

Besides all that, I don't know where else to look.

What made the smudge, Anyway?

The ashes of my youthful dreams, I fear.

A lot of that Going around.

- I'll do it. - oh, will you? Thanks.

So, dr. Shane Is in surgery now,

Making money to pay For the apartment

Above the office building In the '30s,

And also to pay for a very Professional nurse.

- you're cute too. - mmm.

The surgery business good?

What does that mean?

Too good?

Dr. Shane has ordered And performed

Many procedures In these last months.

But he's an internist As well as a surgeon,

And I'm a nurse, Not a specialist.

Well I...I respect Your opinion.

And look, This is off the wall,

But do you usually Dial his calls?

Usually.

555-9441.

Yes.

The man's name Is mr. Dee.

Mr. Dee.

Dunvalo. Often?

Something is very wrong, Isn't it?

Yes. Were you here Last monday?

No. Dr. Shane canceled All of his appointments

Except mr. Abernathy, And gave me monday off.

Something to do with Mr. Abernathy's bill.

Why don't you tell me About mr. Abernathy.

I'll tell you About his mother.

She was all he had and, You know,

I think she was quite a lot.

Dr. Shane told Cynthia abernathy

She needed major surgery,

And she just laid herself Down under his knife

And smiled at him,

And died in the recovery room.

The soul of sweetness, gone.

The soul of sweetness.

So's poor little irving,

Who hasn't got anyone now.

Was he the kind of guy Who pays his bills on time?

A c.P.A.

Early.

He'd never get a parking ticket, Except...

Except that he looks like he's Afraid to learn how to drive.

Oh.

But he never paid Dr. Shane's bill.

The poor little man told His mother's insurance company

Not to pay it.

And he refused To pay the deductible.

I see.

Well...

Any other doctor would've Turned it over to a lawyer.

Unless, uh...

Look, did cynthia Need that operation?

I'm not qualified To say this,

But I had wanted to say this To someone for a long time.

She didn't need surgery,

And she wasn't The only one.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Now, I'm going to have To talk to a name now

Instead of a title, even though I respect the one "Nurse."

- beth. - beth.

Did the calls for mr. Dee And the surgery

Increase at the same time?

Yes.

It's gambling, Isn't it?

Four-four the hard way, baby. And it never comes easy.

So according to you,

Shane has been Booking surgeries like a...

Like a fading hooker In sutton place booking tricks.

Right?

That's nice, sidney.

That's very, very nice.

Now, what has to happen Before you doctors

Lift this here character's Hospital privileges?

Well, he's probably killed more People with his knife

Than the bandits In the south bronx.

What do you mean? I'm agreeing with you?

Sidney, nothing agrees With you.

You're a--a curmudgeon.

We got it. The f.B.I. Got a name on our prints.

Irving paul abernathy.

Well, you're no fun anymore, Lieutenant.

Yeah. Don't tell me Abernathy has a prior.

No. The f.B.I. Got the prints

From the state Licensing commission.

Abernathy's a bonded certified Public accountant.

At least he will be Till we bust him.

- shall I get a warrant? - no.

No?

Hold off on the warrant.

And get out of here. No, wait.

You stay here, And I'll get out of here.

Call your attorney?

I'll save you the fee.

Here, you can avoid Charges like, uh,

Withholding evidence Or misprision of a felony

By volunteering to testify Against abernathy.

That would be Embarrassing.

Subpoenas are embarrassing, Doctor.

It's funny, isn't it?

With creeps like you And dunvalo running around,

I wind up with abernathy.

You kill his mother To collect a surgeon's fee

And pay your gambling debts,

And somehow you wind up With flynn and abernathy

In the same place At the same time, and presto,

Abernathy is the felon.

Things don't always work out, Do they?

Doctor, when we get the mouse, You've still got the rat,

Dunvalo, on your back.

And if anything Should happen to abernathy,

I'm going to hold you As accessory to murder.

Or if you're lucky, Maybe just a felony assault.

I got to protect My credibility, right?

Look, I want To talk to you,

But, uh, with my Attorney present.

Try and understand My position.

Your position fell apart A long time ago,

And I'm too tired For compassion, dr. Shane.

Uh-huh.

We're on our way.

Queens cops.

They're in place, Waiting for us.

Theo, abernathy is a felon, Regardless of circumstances.

Oh, regardless?

Shane's gambling Killed his mother.

Well, we're some future For this irving, aren't we?

And we add that to his past,

This guy hasn't got a life Worth living.

- you know this irving? - frank, you and me,

We grew up In the same jungle.

Remember the mamas' boys?

You know, shy, bashful?

Total strikeout in sports, Total strikeout with the chicks,

Except they're too scared Even to go to bat?

All the little guys Who became accountants or clerks

Or whatever else We need them to do?

They don't cheat, they don't Steal, they don't lie.

And they never go out With the boys.

And you know why? Because the boys,

The wise guys like you and me, We never wanted them around.

So they wind up living with mama As grown men.

You know something, frank?

There's a great deal of love In that.

And to lose that,

And to lose that to shane,

Hey, irving's the felon, huh?

Regardless.

Now, you know the d.A. Will plea bargain,

So don't tell me abernathy's The kind of guy

We're paid to protect.

And don't tell me he's one Of our failures.

You're telling me.

So we go out to kew gardens, We make the good bust,

And irving gets a record.

We send it to the licensing Commission,

Goodbye to bonding, Goodbye to c.P.A,

Goodbye to the arm and a leg It's going to cost for a lawyer

To tell him just that. Am I wrong, frank?

No, you're right.

Yeah, well, you know, It was good police work.

I mean, nothing fancy, Nothing brilliant.

But you know what? It cost too much.

I mean, you never know who'll Screw up during an arrest.

Sabotage.

Theo, we both know The difference

Between the law And justice.

And the difference makes us Both very, very tired.

But if you're Going out to queens

To use the law to get justice, You're in for a lot of grief

Which you know, And which you'll deserve.

Police. Freeze.

Freeze.

Assume the position, huh?

Oh, .22 that's a nice, Quiet gun.

Won't disturb The neighbors.

William dunvalo, hi.

I have a warrant here For your arrest.

Also...

Search of residence, Your place of business,

Your automobile and, um, And like that.

And make sure you read him His rights.

You have the right To remain silent.

Court of law.

You have the right to speak With an attorney

And to have the attorney present During questioning.

An attorney will be appointed For you...

Now, you think that would hurt, Hard guy?

Confess.

Oh!

All right, stand up.

And let's see if your gut Can take this.

Go ahead.

Yes!

I broke flynn's knees.

- all right, give. - and by god, I'd do it again.

And I'm just sorry that I didn't break shane's, too.

And you can go to the devil That you look like.

Irv.

Wouldn't you know, The first time in my life

Anybody ever called me irv Instead of irving,

It'd be a lousy cop.

Ah.

Abernathy's lawyer called me From queensborough headquarters.

I told him abernathy Was being held in brooklyn,

So he's on a merry chase.

- confession? - mm-hmm.

You know, You look like hell?

He--he told me to go To the devil I look like.

Now, does his lawyer Sound competent?

At this hour? Must be some mouse.

Will he listen to you, Do you think?

I think so, After he gets some sleep.

And he's no mouse, frank. In fact, I envy him his rage,

And wonder sometime, Whatever happened to ours?

Well, it's a good thing We lost some of that rage,

Or we wouldn't be able To hold our jobs.

About which, You have a date with shane

At the d.A.'s office tomorrow.

We have, and we drew Cecelia quinones.

So, if my client agrees To testify

About dunvalo's bookmaking,

And attempt to extort money From my client,

As well as dunvalo's Alleged attempt

To do injury to abernathy,

Your office will bring No charges against my client.

Unless he reneges his promise To quit medicine.

Do we have a deal?

Yes.

You're destroying my life.

You did it all On your own.

And let's hope there are not Too many others

Like you out there, Doctor.

Hey, kojak.

Good try, baby.

What's with you people?

With me is I prosecute People like you

To the fullest extent Of the law.

And you saw this morning You're not getting off

On any legal Technicalities.

Lady,

Kojak,

I'm disappointed.

We're all pros, Remember?

I'll beat some of those Charges, go down on others.

So I do a couple of years.

My interests will be Protected for me.

I won my credibility back In kew gardens.

You know something, Coochie-coo?

I don't like you too much.

Ah, the hell with you.

You know something? He's right.

And what's the story On abernathy?

The law is the law.

Which includes probation, If he pleads guilty to a lesser.

I'll make an offer to his lawyer This afternoon.

Irving,

Unsupervised probation And a fine.

It's the best deal I could get you.

And remember, I'm not just Your lawyer, I'm your cousin.

Kojak said I'd lose My bonding.

Well, of course.

No deal.

I want the preliminary hearing As soon as possible too.

Now, will you please send kojak In on your way out?

There you are.

It's called An italian hero,

But with a face like yours,

We'll call it A submarine sandwich.

It was crocker's idea.

Miss quinones, do the people Have any more questions

Of this witness?

Well, I do, but I'll just ask What's relevant.

Stop me, lieutenant,

If I hit something You did do.

Read abernathy His miranda rights?

No.

Obtain a warrant For his arrest?

Didn't think so.

Search warrant?

Not that either.

So, lieutenant, You violated miranda,

Illegal search and seizure,

Violated escobedo.

Oh, and duress.

People versus Irving paul abernathy...

Dismissed.

Jury dismissed. And thank you.

- are you kidding? - what happened?

What's going on? Kojak sabotaged his own case.

Theo, thank you.

I want you to know I don't like Having hurt someone.

No one does.

But you'll get hurt Because of me.

Ah.

Internal affairs Will want to talk to you.

What are you going To tell them?

I'm gonna tell them To err is human, frank.

They never paid us To be human.

How about To forgive, divine?
