Thank you very much, Hector.

Just like the other one.

All right, make room. Come on.

Any witnesses?

One. He's a patient. He's in there now.

Dr. Page, She was my friend.

Miss fowler Was my friend.

No, no, no, no!

Hector! Hector!

Please, don't manhandle him.

Come here. Hey, hey.

Go check the inventory On the drugs.

Don't be afraid, huh?

You okay?

Hector, we have to talk.

- now. - lieutenant kojak,

You've been in and out Of this hospital

Ever since last week's Killing.

You really know How to interrogate someone

When you put your mind to it.

Well, that's true, doctor.

I don't have a couch, But I do have a shield,

And I'm looking For a murderer.

Do you want this man To break down completely?

Hey, we've had two murders In one week,

And what I don't want Is number three.

Let him talk to the patient, Doctor.

Hi.

Ralph.

You know, if your mother comes And you're not in the room,

She'll panic.

You know it.

Ellen, come on. Come on.

Stop trying to protect The world.

Who else will?

She was lying there. Just lying there.

Well, how soon after she left You did you discover the body?

Maybe five minutes.

Less.

We were talking.

She's nice to me.

So I--I help her With things.

Dr. Page lets me.

Don't you, doctor?

Mm-hmm.

I found one of her boxes In the hall

And I came To give it to her.

She was on the floor.

Thank you, hector. We'll talk again later, okay?

Lieutenant, we're going To try to trace the rope.

- do it right now. - yes, sir.

Please try to remember That hector is totally unable

To cope with stress Situations.

That's one of the reasons He's a patient.

Hmm. Are you heavy Into stress situations?

I become more qualified Each time we meet.

Where's the lieutenant?

Uh, lieutenant.

The floors were polished About an hour before the murder.

Typical hospital work.

Lots of wax.

Some markings on the floor But look at this.

Yeah, drag marks, huh?

But why kill her over there By the door

And then drag the girl's body All the way across the room?

Her nails are clean. No scratches on her neck.

I guess he's probably bigger And stronger than she was.

Okay, well, he's just a little Guy who's a dumbbell freak.

Here, christopher, You take some candy

And you tell me How can I run a hospital

When little boys keep walking Out of their therapy room?

I heard there was a murder, And I came to lend a hand.

Hi, lieutenant. Can I have another ride?

Oh, you know something?

When my captain sees us, He's going to say,

"Lieutenant kojak,

Now you're not paid to carry Lazy kids around."

You know something?

He'll be right.

I'm not lazy. Am I, doctor?

No. No way.

Oh, crocker, get together With hospital security.

Close off the ward And do a house to house.

You know, you can't close This building down indefinitely.

Look, doctor, A doctor was murdered

Not a hundred yards from here In the parking lot.

Strangled. Hemp rope.

And now a lady pharmacist.

She's been murdered In the same building.

Again, strangulation With hemp rope.

Do you know how many doors There are?

How many services? Emergencies? Clinics?

Hey, look, When I find my killer,

You can have Your hospital back, okay?

Dr. Fine, dr. Fine...

Look, uh, kojak, Do me a favor.

- have some candy. - oh, that's nice.

And tell your men To do their best

With the doors open,

Or I'll call your commissioner And the health department.

- see you later. - all right.

What are you doing Up there?

Counting the freckles On your head.

Oh, really?

Well, you cut that out or I'll place you under arrest,

You understand?

All these doctors, Rushing around.

Busy, huh? Busy?

Except with ralph.

I see him every day.

Uh-huh.

He can't speak.

He can't walk.

You know, I beg them To operate.

I know.

You want to see your son Get well.

Why don't you Give up drinking?

Why don't you go to a.A.?

I don't mean To hurt your feelings.

I know you've been Through enough.

But that bottle won't make Any of it go away.

Even if I could forget For a moment now and then,

I come here And I see him.

And I remember.

You're too involved with him. That's the problem.

He's my son.

He's my life.

Please help.

We're doing the best we can.

Believe that.

Well, if you were That gentle with me,

I'd--I might even Take up drinking.

Make an appointment With my secretary.

Look at me. I'm out working on my serve

And poor fowler's Lying in the morgue.

Uh, gee, I'm real sorry.

Where you very close to her?

We were friends For years.

Lieutenant, This is nurse brady.

Come on into my office.

Manhattan south, rizzo.

Sit down.

Now, did she have Any enemies?

You know, Jilted or jealous lovers?

Okay, so you heard.

I didn't hear anything yet.

Well, you will.

She was a bit loose.

But with her it really Wasn't that, you know.

I mean, She just loved people.

I wish I were More like her.

Well, you're just as pretty.

In the eyes Of the beholder.

I just haven't had Many beholders lately.

Fowler loved everyone, Everyone loved her.

You know, she was just finally Putting it all together.

Finally?

About a year ago she was going Out with this guy.

He had a wife. She knew that. But he made her happy.

- then he died in his pool. - coronary?

I don't know.

Some kind of accident.

He used to do 50 laps every day Before he left for the hospital.

I would say he overdid it.

Overdid it? Come on. A doctor?

A neurosurgeon.

Alfred parker. He was one of the best.

Look, I have to be on duty.

Can someone drive me To the hospital?

Oh, sure. Hey, you want a sip?

Crocker, uh, would you drive Nurse brady to the hospital?

On the way, She'll tell you about

A dr. Parker Who had an accident.

Can you talk about things Other than aggravated hernias?

Yeah, well...

Good. My name's monica.

Maybe bells will ring For us.

Hey, uh, but I got all these Files to do, lieutenant.

Crocker, be nice.

Huh? She's a lonely lady.

Get her to talk.

You know, lonely people Have a way of knowing

About other People's lives.

Especially victims.

I read that In the manual.

Uh, monica, monica.

Dr. Page.

I do...

What I do...

Because they deserve it.

Hello?

Who are you?

Pain...

For pain...

Is only fair.

Please tell me Who you are.

Let me help you.

Hello?

All right, Call the roll.

Rizzo's still on. Crocker just got here.

There's a bunch of guys From tactical patrol

Down here helping out.

Would you give me the name Of your tailor?

I need a new image.

Tailor?

I'll tell you a tailor If you take the mop too.

Hey, lieutenant, The captain sent this over.

It's what they dug up On that dr. Parker

Swimming pool accident Out in hempstead.

Ralph, please don't Be angry.

You have Your whole life ahead, huh?

If I could take back That moment, I would.

If I could give up my life, I would.

Ralph, you should take The therapy like they tell you.

He doesn't take The therapy every day.

That would Make him better.

Oh.

You know...

Ralph used to be A bright boy, once.

Oh, he used to smile All the time,

Just like you.

Until he stopped.

I know.

I heard about the car.

It crashed...

- with ralph in it. - mmm.

You're lucky you didn't Get hurt too.

Brave christopher.

So many operations, Still more to come.

I may not let them Do any more.

No, no.

You mustn't give up.

It's a sin against the lord

To give up.

Well, I'll...

I'll come back Tomorrow morning, okay?

You just rest now.

Oh!

Whoa, hey.

You've been a good girl.

I've got something For you.

Here's a present. It's a going-away present, okay?

All right, you can get In the car now.

Mrs. Russell, bye-bye.

Take care.

Well, lieutenant, That's the way to have kids.

Ten minutes at a time.

Then they go home to Their parents for the hard work.

Can I talk to you seriously For a moment, doctor?

Well, you know, I really shouldn't.

Today's my day off.

I'll be leaving In a few minutes.

Listen, according To this file,

You were an anesthetist Before you became

An administrator, Doctor.

And a surgeon before that.

And the word is "Anesthesiologist."

Believe me, There's a difference.

Oh, yes. From the greek word anaisthetos.

But according To a police report,

You knew a dr. Parker Before he drowned in his pool

- about a year ago. - yeah. It was tragic.

Got strangled In a water polo net

Strung across his pool.

- it was an accident. - maybe not.

You looking for a connection With what's been happening here?

What are you trying To make this, an epidemic?

Well, three people are killed Who had contact with each other

And with you, doctor.

Lieutenant, I have contact With every member of the staff.

Oh.

Did you have contact With fowler?

I told you, it's my job.

I'd like more contact With some of the ladies,

But they don't always agree.

Did parker know The dead woman?

Well, he might have. I don't recall.

You know something, doctor.

I mean, you'd make A great witness.

Look, kojak,

Why don't you make A professional assumption, huh?

Maybe the killer is a later-day Advocate of socialized medicine?

Or a solid citizen who feels He's been overcharged

By his pediatrician?

Or maybe he's some nut

Who has a grudge Against medicine.

So you have yourself A nice day, doctor.

But be careful, okay?

Well, that line isn't as funny As some of yours,

But, uh, I'll try again.

There's trouble in the park Behind the building.

Stop!

You stop there, doctor.

You, stop, please!

Thomas,

I'm the one that get's you To try to face the truth.

Not this nurse.

But I'm bad.

I'm evil.

I always been bad.

If you think so, thomas, I'm failing you.

I am.

So I give you Little insights.

Little presents Until I can find a way

To understand you better.

But I never Give you anything.

I don't even have anything.

You could give me What you have in your hand now.

Huh?

Thank you.

Patients allowed To come and go like that?

Well, it's not a prison.

Check out his travel.

Yes, sir.

Uh, that's not necessary.

The man's been under Sedation.

It's his first time up In weeks.

Doctor, let's be friends, Okay?

I was just about to say What a good job you did.

You want to try out For the cops?

Good?

That man was under My direct care in psychiatric

Until a board that meets Once a month

Decided that he was Still paranoid,

But he was no longer An acute problem.

Now, with this pathetic act,

Which is really a cry For help,

He'll be sent To the state hospital

For the criminally insane.

And that'll be The end of him.

I see.

So much for the good jobs I'm doing.

That's a heavy load You're carrying.

Doc...

If you see the killer, Whoever he is,

Don't try To stop him yourself.

Call for help, okay?

Okay.

- stavros. - hi, lieutenant.

Look, uh, Pharmacist fowler,

Find out who she was dating, Who she jilted,

Who jilted her.

And mingle with the staff

And ask you mop And like that, okay?

Yes, sir.

Don't move.

I'll blow your head off. I swear.

You see? Now, because that's What policemen say, isn't it?

They say, "Don't move or I'll blow your head off."

See, I was--I was stopped By a policeman once.

And I was questioned For a very long time,

Because some students Were sitting on top of my car

And I threw a brick at them.

And I hit one of them,

Professor lacey,

You promised not to take Any more walks without help.

Well, you see, the kids,

They scratched the paint On my fender.

Now that's the trouble With kids,

That they always want To do things their way,

On their terms.

And I just felt that they should Do things my way.

That's perfectly logical, Isn't it?

Yes, professor.

Lieutenant, it's my fault.

I'm walking By the whirlpool room

And somebody tells me to help This patient into the tank,

I turn around, I go get a cup of coffee,

I come back and he's gone.

Well, that's okay, rizzo.

We won't tell dr. Schweitzer This time.

All right, come on.

Uh, lieutenant...

Dr. Parker, dr. Parker, Emergency.

Red blanket, stat.

Dr. Parker, dr. Parker, Emergency.

Red blanket, stat.

Dr. Corey, dr. Corey, Report to I.C.U.

Report to I.C.U.

I found a piece of this twine Outside on the floor.

I already sent a sample To the lab.

How many have access?

When they cut The laundry bundles,

They throw the string away. Anyone has access to it.

You know, this looks like The stuff they use for macrame.

There must be about 20 patients Using this in the therapy room.

A nurse just told me That that homicide

In the parking lot last week was Parker's assistant for a time.

And parker went out With the pharmacist, fowler.

How about dr. Fine?

Fine went out with her, too.

Dr. Fine, dr. Fine...

He said he was leaving.

Dr. Fine, dr. Fine.

Doctor...

Now, lieutenant, I can't talk to you now.

I'm very busy.

I've got some work to finish up, Then I'm leaving.

You didn't tell me how well You knew the deceased.

Okay.

In a hospital, you work together Under very special conditions.

That doesn't mean You get to know anybody,

No matter how close You are.

Special?

Death.

You see it so often.

So you try to grab A little life right now.

That sounds a bit Melodramatic, huh?

It's true.

We had something.

For me it lasted two Glorious weeks.

For her, well, She was being kind.

Outside this building She wouldn't have known me.

No, lieutenant.

No, she was too nice To have enemies.

Oh, everybody has enemies.

You forget to give a birthday Present, you make enemies.

I don't. All I do Is shuffle papers around.

Mm-hmm. You ever been sued For malpractice?

When I was a surgeon.

That's why I quit.

They come in screaming.

After the surgery if they're Pleased with the results,

They thank god.

They're not pleased, They curse the doctor.

I'm a coward, you see.

Don't worry, There's no killer after me.

Dr. Fine, Report to your office.

- dr. Fine... - now, lieutenant,

I really got to go. Come on, please?

- all right. - thank you.

What the hell Was all that paging about?

Who put out the lights?

Brady, is that you?

Brady, put on the lights.

What's going on here?

He asked me to help him look Over his old files,

From when he was Dr. Parker's anesthesiologist.

I opened the door, And someone just slammed by me.

I--I didn't even see His face.

- what was he wearing? - white, I think.

- oh? Tall? Short? - tall.

His color: Black, brown, white?

Uh, I think he was white. I don't even know that.

Lieutenant, talk fast. He's just been sedated.

Sam, those, uh...

Those files on your desk...

What were you looking for?

Thought it, uh...

Might have been Somebody I knew.

Somebody who was angry,

Who had a grudge.

I don't know.

Listen, uh...

I'm sorry about the jokes, The candy.

Look, please find him, huh?

Find him before he kills Somebody else.

Mm-hmm. Rizzo.

I want a list of every patient On this desk, okay?

And then I want you To cross-check them.

Doctors with nurses. Nurses with doctors.

Patients with nurses, And like that.

That's going To take a year.

Hey, two killings in one week, Maybe three.

Somebody in this building Doesn't have a year. Go ahead.

Kojak.

Lieutenant, We have the wing secured.

Oh, good.

I want you to check everybody In this building, okay?

Check the I.D.'s.

Anything look funny, You get in touch with me.

Why isn't the lady shrink here?

She doesn't know yet. You want me to tell her?

No, I'll tell her.

Yes, come in.

- how you doing? - ah.

I think I'm afraid To have another operation.

You are?

You know, Christopher, darling,

Some people have a leg That hurts

And some people have a hurt That you can't find

In a leg or an arm.

In here.

Or in here.

Sometimes it takes a lot Of operations.

But wherever it is, We try to fix it.

All right?

- hi, lieutenant. - hi.

I'll probably Be a captain one day.

Oh, good.

Because the guy I got Needs a vacation.

Good to see you.

Thank you, yvonne.

Bye-bye.

Why the hell didn't you Say something about it?

I didn't connect it To the killings here.

Didn't or were afraid to?

Your men are lunging at every Sound with their guns out.

People here are jumping At shadows.

Somebody's got to maintain Some sense of reality.

The patients here Are scared to death.

Hey, tell them not to be,

Because he's only after The staff.

Lieutenant, half my patients Are going to murder someone.

The other half Are killing themselves.

I've been figuring And figuring,

Who is it?

You know, it could be someone Who came to this office.

Someone who came, Joked with me,

Poured out his guts to me.

You want some advice?

You're not legally Licensed.

Yeah, well, you go home. You see that bottle?

You take it with you.

Then you drink it all, Get yourself smashed.

Then you call your boyfriend, And like that.

Well, I got the bottle, But I don't have the boyfriend.

Excuse me.

Hello?

It has to be done.

You've got to-- To understand.

Please tell me who you are. Let me help you.

Hello?

Uh, operator, This is lieutenant kojak.

Come through Hospital switchboard.

It must have been On the intercom system.

Lieutenant, can I see you For a minute?

He caught a nurse In the stairwell.

- oh! - calm yourself.

Brady, what are you doing Out here alone?

I came up the stairs For some exercise.

I do it a couple of times A day.

Two steps at a time.

You were told to stay Out of the damn stairwells.

It's cheaper than tennis!

Why isn't she dead? He had time to finish it.

Well, he didn't want To kill her, how's that?

Like he didn't want To kill the patient

In the pharmacy, hector.

He started to kill her.

He started to kill her, But he stopped.

Now, why does somebody stop When he started something?

Changes his mind. Murder's heavy.

Come on. For a guy Who's killed several times?

He made a mistake?

He was on the landing In the shadows.

She runs past, He grabs her.

She looks like someone else, But she isn't.

You go back And talk to her.

- what do I ask? - well, what about hemorrhoids?

You go back and ask her if she Could have been somebody else

That he wanted to kill.

Lieutenant kojak,

Suppose one of my patients Did this to you?

Someone I talk with every day.

Someone that came to me For help.

Ellen, come here. I want to talk to you.

Look, I told you A long time ago,

This place is not Your whole life.

You can't make a whole life Within these walls.

Come on. Come on, now.

Well, maybe I won't.

Uh...

I try to tell myself they were Worse off before they got here.

Doctor, you be careful,

Because this guy hasn't finished The job on you yet.

Now, officer, don't let him Out of your sight.

This is crocker.

There's something going on In the third floor surgery,

Don't get me wrong. You're my hero.

In the meantime, Do me a favor.

Take cold showers, And I'll be a sport.

Don't take them alone Until further notice.

Now, get out of here. You're loitering.

Don't knock it, crocker.

You ever play doctor When you were a kid?

Oh, that is beautiful.

You're really Making progress.

Don't worry. You're safe here.

She's gone home.

The light's on.

Dr. Page?

Come back later.

Hey, you heard The administrator.

Why don't you get the hell Out of here?

How can I leave?

That madman.

And there are others.

And I can't save them.

I don't even know Who they are.

Is that tragic?

Is that funny?

Hey, look, come on.

I'll buy you A cup of coffee.

We'll--we'll go down To my office,

We'll take your files,

And then we'll compare Your files with dr. Fine's.

And I think the killer Is somewhere between

The two of you, okay?

Somewhere.

So where's the cheese?

Where's the cheese? Eat what's there.

That's better.

Look like an off-duty nurse?

I don't like what's there.

What I told you To tell him yesterday.

Hey, one.

To the leader, The spoils.

Hey, danish.

What kind do you prefer?

Any kind.

That's what I like, A gourmet cop.

Everything and nothing.

And if new york's finest Would stop stuffing their faces,

Then maybe we'd find more Before the inspector busts me.

Who made these? A welder?

There's your other patient.

You know what Her crime is?

She wants to save everyone.

It doesn't work that way, And she knows it.

Maybe it should be. Why don't You tell the inspector.

Come.

You've made Such progress, dear.

Mrs. Donner, It's good to see you again.

I'll come back A little later.

It's wonderful.

I keep trying to figure out, Why is he calling me?

Why me?

I keep hearing him telling me, "I need to do these things,"

Because he wants to be stopped Before he does it again.

My god, what good am I?

Hey, doctor, I know what you mean.

Lieutenant, This name is on

Both dr. Fine's And dr. Page's files.

Grady. That's why he stopped. He saw the tag.

Brady. He saw he made a mistake.

This will make you sleep.

Okay.

Okay.

How'd he fool So many doctors?

He didn't.

He fooled himself.

It's what they call Conversion symptoms.

See, he--he developed the limp And the loss of speech

In order to ward off The awareness of his own rage

Against the hospital, Against the doctors,

Against his mother.

And then when he was mending His rage against his victims...

He no longer needed The symptoms.

Well, I was right About one thing.

He was one of mine.

Hey, there are crimes Happening right now

On the streets of new york that I don't know anything about,

And even if I did, I couldn't do anything about it.

How do you think I feel When I get there

Too late to save a life?

You should have been A psychiatrist.

Oh. I thought I was?

I'd just asking If I can walk soon.

Well, it's this way, Christopher...

No, no.

No more jokes, huh?

Truth is, We don't know.

But it looks pretty good.

Will I be able To play football?

I don't know. Could you play it before?

You hold on To that shield there.

It's good luck, You understand?

Hello, captain.
