And the betting list As evidence.

I finally convinced him To wait a few minutes

While I called you.

Very nice of you To call and ask about it.

That's not the reason Why I called, mrs. Mcneil.

I just came back from the bank,

And your check bounced.

Mr. Ramos, you don't think I Would write a bad check, do you?

I'm a poor judge of character.

I am a better judge of cash.

Bring the money Or I'll call the cops.

Manhattan south, rizzo.

Lieutenant kojak, please.

Muchas gracias.

Theo, thank you. Thank you.

And I'll pay it back, Every cent.

I promise. But you--

You know, I get confused With my funds sometimes.

Doesn't that happen to you?

What happened to All that money you were holding?

I don't know; As good as I am with numbers,

I could never balance My checkbook.

And why don't you stop Worrying about me?

Well, if you had more money Than you're spending,

Then you wouldn't have to worry About balancing anything.

Yeah, but lately I don't know.

I'm so busy With the apartment and shopping.

- and then-- - stop it.

Oh, well, you know, Sometimes he takes me out.

And the way We're carrying on here,

Everybody around here must think We're married already.

Look, everybody. Look, I'm still...

I forgot to ask.

- what? - how's the job?

Oh, theo, It's very gratifying.

Isn't that nice.

If you don't stop laying off These bets for the big boys,

Using the brokerage house Interstate telephones,

The feds will be on you, not me.

Well, What are you talking about?

I'm talking About some overripe chick

Who can't stop dreaming

And can't stop looking For the rainbow.

But why can't there Be rainbows for everybody?

Assistant d.A. Lynn Is in your office.

Lynn, nervous nellie.

He's nervous. I'm hysterical.

What's going on?

Disappearing, rushing about, Secret phone calls.

Have you got a problem?

Don't prompt him.

What I have to say Doesn't require answers.

I want kojak's head, captain, If it's for no reason

Other than the fact He retains his cool,

Even when he's about to hang, Just like in the old movies.

I thought You wanted charlie winston.

Winston, Not some empty hotel room.

Where is he?

Why won't your men tell me?

Well, we've had To move him several times.

Okay. Just take me To the last place you put him.

I don't know where that is.

What the hell do you mean, You don't know where that is?

What the lieutenant means Is that the team wet-nursing

Winston is under instructions To make no contact,

Except during certain hours.

What hours?

You got something On for tonight?

Yeah, a very important meeting With my boss at 8:00.

You blew it.

I mean, that's the time They usually call in.

Can I call you someplace?

I'll call you.

No tricks.

I just made myself Your coconspirator.

Why did I do that?

Because you care for me.

Lieutenant, why don't you just Tell the captain

You've had it up To here with his sister-in-law

After all you've done for her?

Crocker, you're a sane voice,

Breezing through a dark night In a mad, mad, mad world.

You know something? I'm gonna do it right now.

Now how does this sound?

Captain, evelyn mcneil, You know she's a headache.

Oh, it's true she was married To a fellow officer,

Your brother,

Shot in the line of duty And became an invalid.

And it's true That she took care of him

And loved him Right up until the day he died.

But, captain, That's not our problem.

I mean, she's still Looking for the odds.

She's still looking to get even In one day for all her troubles.

But that's not our problem, Captain, okay?

Lillian, I'm telling you, The watch is beautiful.

Well, on top of that, She dropped by with jack cohen.

Remember him?

Well, apparently, they're seeing A lot of each other.

So maybe things Are finally turning her way.

I just got a great idea.

You tell him.

Lillian, please, don't cry.

Lillian.

Lillian, I've always said That one day,

Evelyn will get What she deserves.

Just a minute.

I made a great deal With that cop for us.

He was gonna turn Over all your money

And the betting book To the gambling squad.

Come on.

Stop that.

Listen. Will you just listen?

I mean, I really saved you guys

A headache Of enormous proportions.

And I don't even get a thank You, not to mention a bonus,

Which I'll let ride for a while.

Really, I was desperate for us.

5 grand, huh?

5 gs to a cop off the street.

Who was it, the commissioner?

Now, wait a minute.

You gave me $20,000, right?

I'd already laid off 1,500.

I just didn't bet The college teams.

And you had them all wrong Anyway.

All the college teams won, Every one a long shot.

You know, the 5 grand You didn't bet cost us 12,000.

Well, look. Let's look at the bright side.

We still have the betting book.

What? Where?

Where?

Over here.

- here. - okay.

The cop's name, we want it.

Oh, no. No, no.

I can't do that; you see, The deal I had with the cop

Was that after I Gave him the money,

We both just left the alley,

And it was a closed thing Between us.

Evelyn, you ain't a chicken Anymore,

But you could still Make out if your face

Wasn't all full of scars.

His name.

Kojak.

The lieutenant From manhattan south?

Who can tell with this broad?

You know Who her brother-in-law is.

I'll make it easy for you.

Let's go.

I mean, well, not for a while.

All of the sudden, the boss Is watching me all the time.

What do you care?

You got a 5-grand cop In your pocket.

Come on.

You got no right To pull me in here.

So what have we got here, Mr. Arcadia?

You're looking For mr. Charlie winston,

'cause you're afraid He might testify in front

Of the grand jury And hang you, right?

Don't answer that.

Because if I was In your shoes, you know,

I'd be doing the same thing, Up for murder one and all that.

But I'm not in your shoes. And you know what, I'm glad,

'cause they stink and so do you.

I'm glad I gave you the chance To act like a cop.

Sit down.

Now, you listen, And you listen good, all right?

You come within one mile Of charlie winston,

And I'll consider it A violent act.

Now, can I escort you To the door?

What are you holding him for?

Oh, posing as a dog lover.

But before 72 hours are up,

We're gonna nail him For eating dog biscuits.

Lieutenant, evelyn mcneil Is on the phone.

Tell her I'm out.

You were right.

And make sure you Keep it low-profile, all right?

No, they won't touch you, 'cause I'm not gonna let them.

We are from philadelphia, Not from new york.

Hello, lieutenant. Did you find charlie yet?

Oh, yeah.

Yo, charlie.

That was a smart move, charlie.

Arcadia's man was by here Yesterday, you know.

And he don't figure To come back too fast.

But I figured out, didn't I?

So he will too.

Arcadia made his point.

I keep my mouth shut, Or they do something to my dogs.

The back is clear.

All right, Cover the street again.

Marie will stay behind And take care of your dogs,

And I'll send a couple Of officers to cover marie.

- come on, let's go. - no.

You want him to get killed?

That's what you want, isn't it?

Don't you guys Ever think about--

Think about helping anybody?

Quick 'n right.

You know, when you Were working for arcadia,

You didn't care What he did to people.

But then you saw him kill Somebody.

You got scared.

All right, you're not too swift.

You learned a lesson; I'm gonna Give you another chance.

You help us finger arcadia,

And you take your licks And your lumps with the d.A.

Okay? Let's go.

Theo, I hate to be a bother.

Hey, look, fred, I'm sorry For all the trouble, okay?

I hate to say That anybody is hopeless,

But she sure is running For a first.

Now, did you fire her?

No, I didn't fire her.

I can't figure her out.

She came in and made some calls, Then quit.

It was just a few phone calls A day.

Lord knows we can afford them.

But, well, It was just the idea

She was using the phones To place bets.

I guess I overreacted.

Tell her I'm sorry.

Yes.

Well, I will get back to you, Coochie-coo.

Yes.

Anything?

Yeah, the usual.

I don't know how you can stay So calm with a hot property

Like charlie winston Still on our hands.

Hello, jack. This is lieutenant kojak.

Hi, lieutenant.

Jack, can I speak to evelyn?

- well, she's still at work. - oh.

Well, did she ever say anything About quitting her job?

No. Why should she? She loves the job.

She blesses you For getting it for her.

Yeah.

Well, I'm just anxious For it to work out, okay?

You tell her I called.

Sure.

The trees are nice this time Of the year.

What are you doing here, Catering a wedding?

Lieutenant kojak just hung up.

Oh?

You're in trouble again.

No.

Don't lie, evelyn.

You know something, the kids Have something in this idea

That people should live together

Before they get married.

I think you--

The only trouble is, I mean,

If you live with someone, You get to know them so well

That you'll probably never Marry them, right?

Where would the country be If nobody got married?

I mean, For one thing,

It would put all the catering Halls out of business, right?

Whenever you're in trouble, You make speeches.

Jack, What do you worry about me for?

I love you.

Your mother doesn't love me.

My mother doesn't give me Goose pimples when I kiss her.

We're not even Of the same faith.

What kind of trouble Are you in?

I'm too old for you.

We're the same age.

Well, jack, It's better

If you push me out of your life.

After you tell me.

- I met these guys. - that's all?

You met these guys, And lieutenant kojak calls?

You know I like to gamble a little.

It was in a betting joint.

You know I'm very good With numbers.

The guys.

Well, they're really big-time.

They shop around for bookies The way

You shop around for groceries.

You know, they lay off a point Here, a point there.

So I got into them For some money.

And all they wanted me to do

Was to lay off some over The wires across the country,

You know, at my job.

Nothing big-time, Just small stuff, you know,

So I wouldn't disturb the odds.

- you understand? - I want to know what's wrong.

And you're teaching me How to gamble.

Different faiths I can live with.

But a man who doesn't understand A thing about gambling...

Yeah, I know, I know.

I'll make a lousy husband, okay.

Explain to me how you can lose

When you bet somebody Else's money for them.

I did not like some Of their choices.

So I bet some of the teams That I liked.

You used their money.

Well, I was doing great.

But you're still in trouble.

For a while, I was doing fantastically.

- and then, I didn't. - how much?

Don't get mad.

$12,000, they say.

Hello.

You have the cop meeting Set up?

You can't just walk up To a cop and say, "Hey,

You want to join the club?"

The deal Was if we buy the cop,

We forget the 12,000.

But you know something, You're not thinking.

You are really not thinking About this.

Sure, we are, evelyn.

Now, look out the window.

Now, you see the man Near the purple limousine?

He's got a camel's hair coat, Dark glasses.

Now, we have a great way To make up your loss.

Now, you go down.

He'll explain.

All right.

I'll be down in a minute.

That them?

Yes. That's them.

Listen, They've got a great new idea

About how I can make up The loss.

Now, jack, don't worry.

Remember, you break out.

Don't talk to me like a child, You hear?

I love you. I want to take care of you.

I'm a middle-aged, Partly used-up woman

With a terrible compulsion To gamble and without a dime.

You deserve better.

I don't want better. I want you.

I'll get you the money.

Listen, if I had the luck To fall in love

With a guy with money, would I Be in this kind of trouble now?

I'll take out a loan. I'll sell my car.

I'll sell the apartment.

No, don't go.

I'll be right up.

Don't worry.

Manhattan south, rizzo.
