[upbeat jazzy music]

♪

- oh.
- I'll give you that one.

- oh, that's big-hearted of you.

I gave you the last one.

- I don't remember that.
- ha-ha.

- ah.
- ooh.

- robbie,
I asked you twice already.

You don't horse around
On the golf course.

Is that clear?

Oh.

What did I do on the last one?

I lost count, sweetheart.

You lost count?

Now, how's this?

- you're looking good.
You're looking good.

- yeah,
What do you mean by that?

[laughs]

Ah,

I don't believe it.

I'm on the wrong fairway.

[sighs]

I'll meet you up ahead.

- don't get lost now, huh?
- I won't.

- I told you, do not--

What's gotten into you lately,
Acting this way,

This continuous horsing around?

What is wrong with you?

Why don't you ever
Listen to me, huh?

Don't you turn away from me
When I talk to you.

I want you to pay attention
To me.

[gunshot]

- somebody's shooting.
Let's get outta here!

- frank, did you hear something
That sounded like a shot?

- that was backfire
Or something like that.

- daddy--
- look, not now, huh?

- hey,
Hold it right there!

[silenced gunshot]

[police siren wailing]

- yeah, bronxwood golf club,
What side?

Jerome avenue, got it.

- some assassin
Tried to make a hit

Out at the bronxwood golf club,

Wounded a security guard,
Skipped in a car.

Zirosa!

Come with jecter and me.

- central's got the license
On the vehicle.

- it's on the air now.
- let's go.

[police siren wailing]

- looks like he's headed
Toward manhattan.

Okay, we'll do our best.

Hey, lieutenant, that was
The 53rd precinct in the bronx.

They just lost a vehicle
They were chasing,

Probably headed into manhattan.

It was a rented brown nova.

- here's the license number.
- so?

- the suspect's one
Paul markham, about 50.

We'll have his pictures
In a few minutes.

According to the records on him,

Markham frequents
The better hotels and--

- the better hotels,
And the better restaurants.

Who called this in and why?

- it came down from lieutenant
O'mara at the 53rd precinct.

Apparently, this guy's a sniper,

Took a shot at somebody
At the bronxwood golf course

About 45 minutes ago.

They I.D.'d him from the rifle
He left behind.

- a modified .30-06 breakaway,
Abandons it after each hit.

- what'd I do,
Say the magic word?

- oh, yes. Paul markham,
Better known as the major,

Better known as
The hit man's hit man,

Likes korean food,

Male prostitutes,
And russian movies.

Give me as many stakeouts
As you can,

But you're not going
To catch him, crocker.

He'll be a thousand miles away
In three hours.

- what are we wasting our time
With the stakeouts for?

- because he's killed
Over a hundred men,

One being a brazilian
I was assigned to protect

Some eight years ago.

He's like a machine, crocker.

He never makes mistakes.

- now, who did he kill?
- he didn't--he missed.

He missed?

- come on.
Come on, robbie, let's go.

- okay, go change
Your clothes, huh?

Be a good boy.

Would someone like to explain
What all the tension is about?

- what tension, huh?
What are you talking about?

Oh, come on, frank.

Now, something has happened
Between you and robbie again.

- I hit him--I'm sorry,
But he pays absolutely

No attention to anything
That that I say--

There's more than that.

Now, why did you shut him up

When I mentioned
Hearing the shot?

And why did we have to get
Out of there in such a hurry?

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Who isn't these days?

Something dangerous?

Oh, irene.

Irene, don't be silly, huh?

- frank,
I have a right to know.

- look, look, I have to talk
To someone right now.

Maybe after that
I can say more, huh?

Well, I hope so.

Irene, don't worry.

I tell you,
It's going to be all right.

- apparently, he also had
A small caliber handgun.

The guard said
He didn't even hear it fire.

- it could have been silenced.
- go to the hospital.

Talk to the guard.
Take an artist with you.

Get the best possible I.D.
On this guy, arthur,

And get that rifle
To the lab now.

Tell them we want a preliminary
Report as soon as possible,

The rifling,
The fingerprints, the works.

Where's the--where's the
Manager from the golf course?

He's on his way, lieu.

- o'mara?
- kojak.

What are you doing out here
In the sticks?

- well, I got my men
In manhattan

Looking for your sniper
And I figure I haven't been here

Since the payoffs in the bronx,

So like that,
I'm here.

That where he fired
The shot from?

- as best as we can
Reconstruct it.

Tell me this.

Did you find a bag down there,

Kind of like a sandbag?

- yeah, we found something
Like that down there.

Didn't know what it was.

- okay, what's going on?
- oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you knew.
Hey...

Your sniper's not
Some two-bit patsy.

We're talking about
The major himself.

- I got rapists and freaks
Who kill old ladies

And pushers and kids

Who burn down houses out here,
Theo.

I got no celebrities.

Now, who the hell is the major?

- well, the fbi,
Military intelligence,

Five other federal agencies

Have been trying
To nail this guy for 20 years.

They think his name is markham,
A korean vet.

He gets $20,000 a killing
And at that rate, let's see...

He's made himself
Close to $2 million.

Tax free, darling.

- and you got some sort of
Special thing for him, right?

- right. You see this sandbag?
- yeah.

- it's what he uses
To cradle the rifle.

Learned it in the army.
It makes for a better shot.

And that weapon,
That's a trademark too.

Now, who was the target?

- that's what we're trying
To find out for ourselves

And when we do, if there's
Any way I think you can help,

I'll be glad to let you know.

- george,
I mean don't brush me, okay?

- there was about eight
Or ten people

Who were playing out there
At the time the shot was fired.

- you mean nobody came forward
To say they were shot at?

- no, sir.
- jecter.

You stay with me.

Sorry, lieutenant.

Now, there was one group
Had about--

Had a couple of bodyguards
With them.

One of them is a wise guy,

- vacelli.
- gene vacelli?

- he was playing this morning?
- yes, sir.

- find out
Where I can talk to him.

I wanna know
Who he's feuding with.

- what about
This "Major" character

The lieutenant's talking about?

- look out there, jecter.
There wasn't one target

More than a hundred yards
From here.

What's that
To the world's greatest hit man?

Nothing.

You're off on this,
Theo, way off.

This is just some punk

We're going to find
In the gutter with his head

Busted open for missing a shot
Even I could make.

Okay, okay.

But let's talk about it.

Let's compare notes.

- we got something
We can't handle, sure,

But we like to do it our way
Up here.

No glamour,
Just steady digging.

Thanks anyway, theo.

Sure.

- o'mara's a good enough
Lieutenant, frank,

But he don't listen to me.

You know, the manhattan cop
And the bronx cop

And that interborough rivalry
Whatever?

- well, lieutenant o'mara
And I worked together in queens

For a couple of years
After the academy, right?

Theo,
You two are dead opposites.

Dead opposites.
And he's sensitive.

You know, it takes him days
And days of hard work

To come up
With the same inspirations

That you get in the middle
Of a cup of coffee.

But he gets the job done
And his men like him.

- hey, you're
In upper management, frank.

I mean, give me the inspiration,
Okay?

How can I get him
To pay attention to my leads

And go over my files?

A possible sniping incident.

The wounding
Of a security guard--

It's not quite the only problems
He's got in his precinct.

He's got the gangs.

He's got 50 bar fights
On a saturday night--

Frank, I don't want his job,

But I do want the major,

And this is the best chance
We've ever had.

- if the major missed out there
On that golf course,

He's not going to hang around
Like some kid

Waiting to take a girl out
On a second date.

He's going to do the smart thing

And spend a night in paris,
Indonesia,

Duluth, minnesota,

Anywhere except new york where
He knows he's being scanned.

Well...

I'm sorry, frank,

I can't go along with you.

- oh, suddenly
I feel like o'mara.

What did I say that's wrong?

- frank,
Here's a list of players

In range from the garage,
Okay?

Vacelli and his friends and his
Two bodyguards over here,

In back of them mr. And mrs.
Demarco and their kid,

Over here, this girl
And her boyfriend

And then this foursome,

Professors from
Manhattanville college.

None of them likely targets
Except vacelli,

But none of them, frank,
Over 100 yards away

Or any excuse for the major
To have missed so easily.

- well,
Then it wasn't the major.

It was somebody
Copying his technique.

- but if it was the major
And he missed,

Then there's something wrong.

I mean either he's getting old
Or something is bothering him.

There's got to be
A weak link someplace.

So what I'm saying, frank,
Is this, he's still in the city

And he's looking to get the job
Done as quickly as possible.

- theo, if you hired the major
To kill vacelli,

Would you leave the hit on
Knowing that he's expecting it?

- frank, he don't give a damn
Whether the hits on or off.

He missed for the first time
And at close range.

Come on, I know this guy.

This is a challenge
To him now.

You know, like the guy falling
Off the horse gets back on.

You know that story,

And the gun,
That's a trademark.

He's got a reputation
To protect.

- and o'mara,
What does he say?

Oh, he isn't saying.

So what do I do?

You don't do anything.

- who you calling?
- chief of detectives.

If he wants the major that bad,

He'll make sure
O'mara works with you.

Well, how come?

- they'll send me
A temporary replacement,

Assign you to o'mara's precinct
On this one case

Whether he likes it or not.

Frank!

- or whether you like it or not,
Sorry.

[phone ringing]

Mr. Lo.

There's no need to call.

There's been a complication.

We should meet at the usual
Place an hour from now.

Is the job done or not?

- mr. Demarco is a dead man,
I promise you that.

What you so afraid of?

- it's my nine iron,
I'm lousy with it.

It's embarrassing,

And this bang,

Well, it blew
My concentration.

So why keep on playing,
Huh?

Come on, vacelli.

What about those body guards,
Huh?

Who's after you?

I want to know.

- hey, two lieutenants
In one day.

- I'm honored.
- yeah, same.

- how you doing o'mara?
- kojak.

How you doing, gene?

Hey, I do well.

Nice festival,
Brings people together,

And we made over $30,000
For the church in the lottery.

- you're kidding.
- yeah. You got tickets?

- they draw them tomorrow.
- I bought a couple.

Maybe I'll get lucky.
You mind?

- no, help yourself.
- yeah.

Hey, look, ah,

You need some protection, gene,
Just a couple of days.

Nothing obvious, okay?

- I'm okay, theo.
Thanks.

- if anybody takes a shot
At harry freed,

I'm going to drag
In your whole goon squad.

- harry freed,
You serious?

Theo, ease up,
Will you?

Freed and me got peace
And no way I'm responsible

For anything
That happens to him.

- I hear different--

But if anything
Does happen to him,

I'm holding you responsible.

So you send out your goon squad
And any information you pick up,

You lead it directly to me.

You understand, gene?

Before you do anything about it,

Directly to me.

Mm-mmm.

Bon appetite,
Genie weenie.

- that greek, who the hell
Does he think he is?

- what kind of a stunt is that,
Busting in on my interrogation?

- what kind of interrogation
Was that, george?

I grew up with vacelli.

I know everything
There is to know about him.

Why didn't you come to me?

- because you don't know
One damn thing more than I do.

You just got your ego
On the line

Because the major knocked off
Some diplomat

You couldn't protect
A half dozen years ago.

Besides, I hear freed's got
No beef with vacelli anymore.

I hear the same thing,

But I'm not going
To let vacelli know that.

- I want him to run scared.
- you don't make sense.

Hey, george,

He's got a lot more
Foot soldiers than we have.

- kojak,
This is my investigation, huh?

Now, stay out of my way.

Hey, george,

The chief of detectives.

And I didn't want any part
Of it.

- "Effective immediately due
To his specific expertise

"On the assassin known
As the major,

"Lieutenant kojak of manhattan
South is to be assigned

"To the 53rd precinct,
The bronx,

"To assist in the investigation

Of the bronxwood golf club
Shooting."

- I spent years trying
To get inside this major.

I know an awful lot about him,
George.

Hey, look, if he missed
An easy shot,

I want to find out why.

Maybe he was paid to miss.

You know, a warning,
Not a kill.

You don't have all the answers.
Cut it out.

I'm going to need two desks,

And tell your men
This isn't a competition.

Well, that's just what it is.

Don't kid me.

[doorbell rings]]

Just a moment.

Who's there?

Frank demarco.

- look, I need to set things
Straight with you.

- I thought you'd made
Your position quite clear.

I made a terrible mistake.

That shot on the golf course
Was a warning.

I want to thank you
For giving me a second chance.

A second chance?

What happened, exactly?

A shot.

It missed me by a foot,
Almost hit my son

And that's the worst part of it.

Here,
5,000.

I'll give you the other five
In 30 days, I swear.

- the 10,000 I paid you,
Mr. Demarco,

It was an agreement.

- no, it was blackmail
And it was stupid of me.

Here, this is the recording
I made of our phone call.

Go on. Play it.
Be sure.

You know, mr. Demarco,

Your shipping company could do
A lot of business

With my korean clients.

- I could use that business
A lot mr. Lo.

There will be a slight fee,

Say $20,000 a year
To me, personally.

You could have a copy of that.

On my life, no copies,

And if anybody ever tries
To take your license away

Or get your deported,
Mr. Lo,

I swear to god, I'll tell
Immigration your a saint.

Any threats I ever made
Were really stupid.

I know that now.

The other 5,000
In 30 days,

Sooner if I can get it.

Please.

- good-bye, mr. Demarco.

[banging]

- lieutenant, lieutenant,
It goes like this.

You know, you think
They work internal affairs--

Well, that didn't take long.

Gentleman,
This is lieutenant kojak,

Detective crocker,
From manhattan south.

The lieutenant's here
To take the bronxwood shooting

Off our backs,

Give us some breathing room
For the rest of our workload.

Jecter, zirosa,
You'll stay on the case.

Work with them.

- george, I didn't mean for you
To take yourself off the case.

- look, it's up to me to decide
Where I need the help.

Now, I've got a lot
Of other things to handle.

So this is all yours.

That way, we got no competition,
No bad feelings.

You can't say I did wrong.

I can't say you did wrong.

- o'mara,
I need your help.

- tell me one thing
You thing I've done right

On this case so far.

- well, didn't you put out
A description of the man

To all the stores
Selling rifles?

I mean just in case he wants to
Buy a rifle to finish the job?

- why? If the guy's a pro
He's long gone.

If he's an amateur he's hiding,
Shaking like a leaf.

He's not going
To stick his neck out again

Like some turtle with no brains.

No, I didn't put out
A description

For all stores selling rifles.

- crocker, put out
A description of the--

- yeah, to all the stores
Selling rifles.

Yes, sir.

- kojak, you've got a way
Of coming on to people,

Makes everybody else look bad.

I'm not going to get sucked in.

Sorry.

- I'll call stavros
To get on it right away,

As soon as they get me a phone
Around here.

Oh, what I miss?

- hey, that's a good cop,
You know?

I hear he gets more
Out of his men

Than any lieutenant around

And he's all spooked
About this case.

He thinks that I was put on it
In order to make him look bad.

So, what do I do?

- well, you have a choice,
Lieutenant.

Sorry, but you show him up.

Yeah, sure.

Okay, give me a list
Of all the names of the people

On the golf course,
All right?

'cause maybe we
Were wrong about vacelli.

Maybe the target
Was that model from play girl.

She's really a cia agent,

Or maybe the professors
From manhattanville,

If they stole a patent from
The unites states government.

- move.
- move where?

Start with mr. And mrs.
Frank demarco

And their 7-year-old son.

Yellow sheet?

- I doubt it,
But we'll look.

Hey, jecter, will you give me
A hand with this?

Ugh.

Guess who I just talked to.

A dead man,

Demarco?

You missed?

I can't believe that.

Neither can I,

But he's as good as dead.

Now, listen.

I picked two possible locations
For his termination,

The golf course
Or the festival tomorrow night,

And the second one
Will do just fine.

- I'm not so sure
About this any more.

The element of surprise
Is gone,

And demarco suspects
That I'm involved.

The police may even have him
Under surveillance.

It's not smart
And you know that.

- when someone comes to me
With an assignment,

The target doesn't die
When I pull the trigger,

The target dies
When I take the job.

It's my decision
That kills them.

Demarco is dead already,
Up here.

Now, to bring him back,
Especially him,

Would throw everything off.

- especially demarco,
Why?

He did something,

Reminded me of someone

I eliminated a long time ago.

- ah,
This may be personal to you,

But it's business to me.

Now, I've settled
With demarco.

He stopped blackmailing me.

He lives.

No.

I give the orders.

Now, if you go against
My instructions, major,

That's going to destroy
Your reputation

A lot worse
Than any missed shot.

Demarco lives,

Or else.

Now, get out of here.

- [silenced gunshot]
- ugh.

- listen, I'm going to check
Across the street

And look for witnesses.

- all right,
I'll check over here.

He's career, lieutenant,

Shot right in the heart,
20th street,

Sitting in his car.

- well, why don't you give it
To lieutenant faber?

I mean he's doing my job
Pretty well, stavros?

- yeah, well,
Forensics recovered

A slug from the dashboard.

It's got no rifling on it,
And it's the same caliber

As the one that hit that guard
Up in the bronx.

I thought you'd like
To know that.

- was that silenced too?
- it could be.

Nobody heard nothing.

- all right, what's
The target's name, stavros?

His name is chuck lo.

The car he's driving is leased

By the kim chi
Importing company.

- I guess that's a korean outfit.
- any address?

It's 900 west 161st street.

Stavros, good work.

- what's up?
What's up?

- well, either the major
Killed another target

Or he put somebody away
For personal reasons.

Either way,
Get in touch with stavros.

Pick up everything you can on a
Victim by the name of chuck lo.

Hey, personnel,
This is lieutenant kojak.

Look, I need an officer
With special qualifications

To help with an interrogation.

Tomorrow morning,
As soon as you can.

- lieutenant kojak,
I'm gardner.

Sorry, they couldn't get me here
Before noon.

I'm a little rusty, sir.

I hope I don't disappoint you.

- well, that makes two of us,
Gardner.

Come on.

Hello.

I'm lieutenant kojak.

This is officer gardner,
Police department.

Are you in charge here?

- yes, I'm on the owner,
Jimmy lee.

What can I do for you?

- the name, chuck lo,
Does that mean anything to you?

- I had to take the pastrami
On rye.

They were all out
Of onion rolls.

What's up?

- ah,
This is lieutenant kojak.

My brother, ben.

He wants to know
About chuck lo.

Yeah, he works for us.

- yes, well, he was shot
To death in his car yesterday.

Murdered on east 20th street.

You know anything about it?

[speaking korean]

- have you any idea
What he was doing down there

Or why anybody would want
To kill him?

[speaking korean]

Yeah.

- ah, mr. Lo
Was an independent consultant,

Worked on commission,
Give advice

Which american companies
We should work with,

Like for shipping from korea,
Import, export.

He had good business,

- why enemies?
- yes.

Well, what kind of business
Could he throw

To a shipping company,
For example?

- oh, maybe as high as
1 million, 2 million a year.

- oh, maybe he was
Peddling influence.

[speaking korean]

Yeah.

I don't understand.

Well, bribery, payoffs,

You know a lot of people
Pay an awful lot of money

For a $2 million contract.

- chuck lo?
No.

My government,
Your government

Very sensitive
This payoff business.

Very bad scandal.

- he takes bribes,
He gets thrown out of country.

He's too smart.

- I don't like calling
Dead men crooked.

- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to insult him.

Now, I'd like to see a list
Of the names of the firms

He might have recommended.

Sure.

Oh.

That it?

One more.

Thanks.

- please,
Where is his body?

He's got no family
We'll take care for him.

The morgue, downtown.

And I'm sorry.

Hmm.

- frank demarco,
Trans american shipping company,

And on the golf course yesterday
Morning, frank demarco.

- something interesting,
Lieutenant?

Yeah.

I mean the major,
He trained in korea.

Chuck lo is korean.

Must have made contact
Over there.

Anyway, what they say inside,
Gardner?

- they lied through their teeth
To you, lieutenant.

[speaks korean] Means--

Well, let me put it to you
This way,

He's as crooked
As the yalu river.

Chuck lo, he had his hands out
For bribes all the time.

One more report to immigration,

They were ready to ship him back
To the 48th parallel.

- well, maybe demarco
Wouldn't pay his bribes on time,

Or threatened
To blow the whistle on chuck lo.

Hey, if demarco was
Putting the squeeze on chuck lo,

That's like a worm
Trying to choke a python.

All right.
Thanks, gardner.

- [speaking korean],
Lieutenant.

- hey, gardner?
- yes, sir.

- where'd you learn
All that stuff?

I mean with the korean war
Was on you weren't even born.

I was born exactly then.

My mother is korean.

My father was the biggest
Hell raiser in the marines.

- oh, your mother
Still in korea?

- no, she's here,
Still married, still happy.

Oh, well, that figures.

- manhattan south called,
Lieutenant,

Wanted us to know that a man
Fitting the major's description

Bought a 30-06 rifle
Yesterday morning on 38th street

Off lexington about two hours
After the shooting.

He's hanging around.

Still cooking up something
Just like kojak said.

Okay, okay.

Hey, lieutenant,

We would've come up
With our own leads our own way.

We always have.

Where is he today?

- all I know is he put in a call
To personnel yesterday.

Requested an officer
Who spoke korean.

Korean, huh?

Come in my office.
Close the door.

He's got of list of clippings
Here dating back to 1956.

Military intelligence today
Identified the hit man

Alleged to have killed
Union boss, leonard cox,

As korean veteran,
Paul markham.

Markham, reputedly known
As "The major,"

And here's his military record.

Family history from the fbi.

List of killings
Attributed to him.

110?

- yeah, new york,
Philadelphia,

Boston, panama city,
Liverpool, haiti, vietnam.

A license to kill.

Where the hell does he think
That comes from?

You know, 23 years
On the force, jecter.

I've never had to kill
A man yet.

Thank god.

But him, put 20 grand in a slot,
The weasel goes pop,

There's another pool of blood
Instead of a person.

What's life to him?
A shooting gallery, that's all.

Who was it this time
If not vacelli?

And why not come out
In the open, huh?

At least ask for protection.

Hmm.

Somebody shoots at me,

I wouldn't want
My mother to know.

She worries enough
As it is.

What about your son?

Who's got a son?

This guy does.

Mr. And mrs. Frank demarco.

They had a 7-year-old kid
With them on that golf course.

Maybe they're in trouble,
Afraid he'll find out.

Afraid we'll want
To talk to the kid.

You know,

He could've seen something
That we'd like to know.

Did kojak talk to demarco
Or his wife?

- umm, no.
I don't think he's had the time.

Okay,

Past the village downtown.

I'll call you
If I can't make it back by 6:00.

O'mara.

Two great minds with one
Thought, right, frank demarco?

- thought I was going
To have him all to myself.

- yeah, well, what do you got?
- what do you got?

Oh, come on,

Let's take 10 minutes
For a cup of coffee, okay.

We'll compare notes.

Or you tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine

And we'll razzle dazzle and
Double team the heck out of him.

- gentleman,
If we had any information

That might have helped you,

We would have come forward
At the golf course.

- yes, but you were on the tee
Of the third hole

When the shot was fired.

- I don't even think
I heard the shot.

I was concentrating,

Trying to get off
A decent drive.

I got disgusted.
I blew it.

I decided my wife deserved
A nice big breakfast

Instead of being stuck with
A lousy golfer in a crabby mood.

But we certainly didn't leave

Because we thought
We were in any danger.

- and you didn't hear the shot
Either, mrs. Demarco?

No, I don't think so.

I was pretty much concentrating
On my own game too.

- I don't suppose your son's
A golfer too, is he, at seven?

- robbie? No, he was just
Horsing around tagging after me.

- well, since he wasn't
Concentrating on his golf game,

Maybe he heard something.

Could I ask him a few questions?

I've got a grandson
About seven, myself.

I promise not to make
It uncomfortable for him.

- well, actually,
He's napping right now.

We're taking him
To the festival later,

Keeping him up pretty late.

I have to draw
The lottery tickets,

Probably won't get finished
Until after 10:00.

If it's really important,

I could ask him any questions
For you tomorrow

And give you a call.

Oh, mr. Demarco,

We're trying to make sure
There is a tomorrow for you.

Lieutenant,

I do not appreciate you
Frightening my wife like this.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Look, mrs. Demarco,

Your husband was dealing
With a korean businessman,

Who is known to have hired
This assassin before.

Now, I don't know
What your husband did

To offend him so badly
That he would want to kill him.

- lieutenant,
I have an excellent reputation

In this community.

Now, my business and my life

Are in absolutely no danger
Of anything,

Except your insinuations.

I would appreciate it
If you would both leave.

- mommy?
- robbie.

- robbie,
Get back in your room.

- I finished my homework,
Daddy.

- you're supposed
To be taking a nap.

- uh-uh,
That was after lunch.

- robbie, I--
- frank!

- excuse us,
Sorry.

Home sweet home.

Be it ever so humble.

- daddy was about to hit
That kid.

- let me tell you something.
It wasn't the first time either.

- please leave us alone.
Will you?

Oh, mrs. Demarco,

We're talking about
Your husband's life.

- yes, but what you are saying
Makes no sense.

I mean the man you insinuate
Wants him killed

Is dead himself.

And now you are saying
That somebody else is after him

And for what conceivable reason?

- mrs. Demarco,
I don't know the answers--

- then you're really
Just alarming us.

- suppose we just put
Some police surveillance on you,

Mr. Demarco.

- tonight, in that crowd
At the festival?

Are you serious?

How do I explain that?

That I'm being pursued
By gangsters?

What kind of person
Does that make me out to be?

No, I'm sorry
You can't catch your gunman,

But I want no more interference
With my life.

Good day, gentleman.

- frank, are you sure
You're safe?

I was a fool.

I admit that,

But I squared things
With chuck lo,

And, besides, he's dead.

There's no reason
For anyone to be after me,

No reason at all.

I'll make it up
To robbie tonight.

- I'm glad you're out,
Rocko.

- theo, let's face it.
They're lying.

Chuck lo put out a hit on him,
We don't know why.

Demarco's right.

Without one good reason
Why the major's still after him,

I don't know how
To justify surveillance.

All right,

You gave me one good reason
That makes sense to me.

Two bags.

Thank you.

- and I'll get the authorization
From my precinct.

I'll let the chief of detectives
Come down on my head.

Did you read the family history
On the major?

I mean the fbi report
In my file?

- yeah, I skimmed it.
Why?

- you know when he was a kid,
His old man was an alcoholic,

Used to hit on him
All the time and bad.

You know,
The kid didn't talk for years.

Wound up in a foster home.

He didn't just flinch when the
Old man was going to hit him,

He ran away.

He'd be gone three days at
A time before they'd find him.

Let's suppose, george,
That this robbie, you know,

He's goofing off
On the golf course

And demarco hit him
Like he almost did upstairs.

Now, suppose the major saw that.

- he flinched, maybe jerked
The trigger a second too late.

Not a bad theory is it?

- explains why he's still
After demarco, revenge.

- because of his father.
- right.

- probably doesn't even know
It's inside him.

Right.

- how are you?
Here we go.

One, two, three, whoops.

Hey, look.

You call down
To manhattan south, okay?

Get a couple of men over here.

Stay on top of demarco
Until they get here.

Where are you going?

- I'm going up on the rooftop
And scan it.

- theo,
Be careful, huh?

Yeah, you too, pal.

[police siren wailing]

[gunshot]

Oh, there we go.

I better get the drawings
Over with.

How are you?

- you know you can get yourself
In a lot of trouble

Sneaking up on somebody
Like that?

- o'mara sent us. What's up?
- yeah, what's up.

Any minute, now, demarco's going
To get up on that platform

And he's going to pick the
Number for the church lottery.

- perfect target
For a rifle up here.

I don't like it.

You, stavros, you stay up here.
Keep your eyes open.

Crocker, okay,

You go across the street
And get on the roof over there.

Come on.

- ladies and gentleman
And children.

Theo!

[silenced gunshot]

- hey!
- o'mara!

- I saw him come down here.
I tried to shout to you.

You damn fool.

Anything bigger than
A .25 caliber,

He would've punched holes
Right through you

And your lousy garbage can.

- you see?
I can't do anything right.

Oh, lieutenant?

He shot himself.

- "I guess I never
Did anything right."
