Advise, regarding suspects.

No description
At this time.

Suspects: two male whites.

Going east
Toward concourse.

We're standing by
In a jewelry store

To prevent
Further looting.

10-4, 115 adam.

Units in the 115 precinct
And surrounding areas,

We have a report
Of a large, disorderly group

Breaking windows
On queens boulevard.

Vicinity of sunnyside gardens.

Units responding.

Terranova's crazy
If he thinks he can beat me.

Why don't you arrange a sit
Before things get out of hand?

When he's in the box,
Then I'll talk.

I own this piece
Of the apple.

I built it
With my own hands.

Benedict knows that.

He wouldn't allow terranova
To move in on me.

Benedict is number one man.

He don't care as long
As he gets his vig.

What else?

That cop, kojak.

He's kicking up dust
All over town over those hits.

Kojak is the least
Of your worries.

Okay.

Gomez, dagostino, mccoy.

Everybody, keep your backs
To the wall, huh?

Come on.

Gino.

Make me some coffee, will you?
She makes it taste like tar.

You find out?

She's deaf.

You find out?

Gomez and dagostino
Got reached by terranova.

They're scared.
They don't know what to do.

Give me your keys.

Joe, these are
Trusted men.

If I'm wrong,

They're just dead.

If I'm right,

I could be.

Put a rush on that ambulance,
Central.

10-4, charlie.

This is
Manhattan south detective

Requesting a medical examiner,

912 west 28th street.

10-4.

Ten killings
In eight weeks.

Yeah.

We still don't know
What it's about.

Huh.

Hey, we have a witness
Down the street,

He was taking out the garbage
For the morning pick-up.

He thinks he saw a souped-up
Chevy bel air, 1957.

He see the color
Or the license number?

Just the color.
Green and white.

Green and white.

- okay.
- you leaving already?

I just think I know where
To buy a car like that.

- frank. Frank, what the hell?
- hello, chief.

After all these years,
Look what brings us together.

Detective crocker,
Lieutenant kojak.

This is assistant chief
Howard brokaw.

He's the head
Of the new organized crime unit.

This your ball,
Lieutenant?

Yes, sir.

Gomez and dagostino, eh?

Uh-huh.

All right. I want you to round
Up everybody and anybody

Who's ever had any contact
With them,

Including their priest.

Who they were
Muscling in on,

And who was trying to take over
Their territory.

Excuse me, sir.

You know, this isn't just
An ordinary hit.

These guys are trying
To contact me.

Oh, I'm sorry,
Lieutenant.

I'd assumed that you'd given
The same instructions.

No, sir.

You know, we need inside help,
Not just bodies.

All right.
Let's do it your way.

And let's get together
Real soon.

I've got some theories
On this rash of killings.

I might be of some help.

Let me know about the car.

Do you have a lead?

I'm gonna go see
An informant.

Mind if I tag along?

Excuse me, sir.
You know how these things work.

Like they say,
I'll wait in the car.

Come on.

- still fun and games.
- what is it?

I just left gomez
And dagostino.

I couldn't
Get to you in time.

You had enough time
To drive them to their death

In your son's car.

I did not!
Gino took it.

- why were they killed?
- I don't know.

Too bad. You got to understand
That I'll help you

Get your kid out of jail,

Because you tip me
To things like this.

Wait a minute.

Did you get the d.A.
To talk to the judge?

- no, not yet.
- oh.

Theo, he's my son.

Relax, mary.

I'm gonna help him.

I made a deal with his mother,
Remember?

She help me, I help her?

Gino said he heard gomez
And dagostino were going over.

Greensteen got furious.

Theo, whatever it is,
It's heavy.

I'm scared.

It used to be so good
Between us.

Hey, I remember it
That way.

Anything important?

Gomez and dagostino.

Greensteen ordered it.

All right, lieutenant.

Bring her in.

And keep me informed.

Theo, who's that?

Don't worry.

Just another cop.

Your cover's still good.

Oh. Got a good deal
For mary torino's son?

No. The d.A. Wants to know
Why she's so important

That he has to do anything
For the kid.

And I didn't give
The answer.

I pulled in everyone
I could find.

Here. Do something with that,
But don't drink it.

Charlie, get the door, please.

Give us a few minutes.

Okay.

You're doing it right.

You're hitting all
Your contacts.

Questioning your witnesses.

So the fact that so far
We haven't had a rumble

As to why all these murders,
Can't be blamed on incompetence.

So far.

Well, maybe it's another
Murder incorporated

Starting up all over again,
Captain.

Attention!

No, please.
Continue, continue.

All right.
We'll start with last night.

Lieutenant?

Well, these latest victims,

They worked
For greensteen.

And they were hit because
He's nervous about something.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find
Out what he's nervous about.

Uh, frank, may I?

- please.
- consider the simple

But obvious possibility

That these deaths may be
The direct result

Of a--of a general decline
In toughness toward criminals.

Too many of these hoodlums
Remain in the streets

Because, well,
They've made deals to help.

True, we need informants.

But when you deal
With animals,

You end up getting bitten.

Our task is to get them
Off the streets.

And, well, thanks for the use
Of the hall.

You've got a great leader here.
Do follow him.

Frank, buy you some coffee?

Upstairs. It's free.

Oh, frank.

It feels good to be
On the firing line again.

It sure beats
Pushing memos around

And taking politicians' wives
To lunch,

And telling them all about how
We control crime

In the streets
And protect their flower beds.

I can imagine.

I want to thank you
For making me feel welcome.

I--I really think
I can help.

Sure. Well, if you're gonna
Keep dropping over,

Why don't you just
Move in.

I'd like that.

Just for a few days.
Get the old adrenals going.

Oh, sure.

Why don't you just take
My office,

And I'll move in
With kojak.

That's very nice of you.

I feel at home already.

Dave.

Cross the street
On a red light,

They spit on the sidewalk,
Pick them up, pull them in.

Keep the pressure on.

Sooner or later one of them
Has gotta say something

That contradicts, and we'll get
To the bottom of these murders.

Oh, lieutenant.

- you missed a good meeting.
- I wasn't invited, sir.

Well, I believe
We've said it all, gentlemen.

Good luck out there.

We'll do it together.

Lieutenant,

When we stand together
In front of the men,

We should exude confidence
In each other.

A united front.
That's the key phrase.

Yes, sir.

He seems upset.

He has his own style.

Well, that may be a luxury
We can't afford, frank.

Oh, not that he's not
A good officer.

I just believe
He relies too much

On the integrity
Of hoodlums.

And that's old hat, frank.

Let the stoolies do it.

That's just the working cop's
Lazy way of avoiding

A good, solid
Interrogation.

Crocker, how's it going
With that woman?

- what woman?
- mary torino.

Greensteen's girlfriend.

The one kojak brought in
Last night.

Chief, kojak did not
Bring her in last night.

He felt he could get
More out of her

If he left her out
On the street.

And you agreed?

Well, sir, we can pick her up
Anytime we want to.

Do it now.

Chief, she's the lieutenant's
Informant.

She is a prostitute!

Fed him some kind
Of cock-and-bull story

So she'd make a deal for
Her son, that's who she is.

Case in point, frank.

It's easier to leave her
Out there

Than to bring her in
For an interrogation.

Yeah?

Sure.

Yeah, okay.

Well, keep in touch, huh?

Okay. Mwah.

That was my sister.

- where's the lieutenant?
- he just left.

- where'd he go?
- I don't know,

But he'll call in soon.

Hey, rookie, come on.
You drive.

Yes, sir.

Personal property in a squad
Room is against regulations.

Well, god made plants, sir.
I didn't.

Manhattan south.
Saperstein.

Are you sure about that?

Okay, give me a second
To write it down.

Okay, go ahead.

Those last two numbers again?

Thank you.

That's a complaint form.

So?

So you used a complaint form
To write an address.

- that's not what they're for.
- yes, sir.

Stavros.

Who'd ever thought that
Shirley would obstruct justice?

- what?
- that guy, simmons.

The chief's driver.

He listens to everything we say
In the squad room,

And then runs to the chief.

Now he says my plants
Are illegal.

You shouldn't say anything the
Chief isn't supposed to hear.

And I got news for you.
He's right about your plants.

You never complained.

That's because
I'm a soft touch.

Did you see crocker?

- no. Was I supposed to?
- I don't know.

- he was looking for you.
- what'd he want?

He didn't say.

Here, before you faint
From malnutrition.

Lieutenant.

Saperstein.

Stavros, how do you do that
Without losing your fingers?

Huh?

You know, they ought to change
The name of this place

To manhattan south annex.

Hey, hey, hey.
Sit down.

- I'm finished.
- stavros is finished.

You didn't get a chance.

I'll have the same
As he's having.

I think we're out.
But I'll check.

- here, chief.
- it's a nice place.

You know,
When I was stuck up there

At fort apache
In the bronx,

We rarely ever
Had the time to eat.

Uh-huh. Tell me about it.

We were never sure
When we were gonna get attacked

In our own squad room.

But it was a joy
To come to work.

You know,
You could have gone far.

I looked at your record.

Made all the right moves.
Had every opportunity.

Why is it you're still
A lieutenant?

Well, I decided that, all right,
You make more money,

But you make
Fewer friends.

And there were too many
Official cocktail parties.

And that's not the reason
I became a cop.

I just heard you didn't
Bring in mary torino.

Suppose that was just
An oversight.

A lady is calling
And she has no time.

No, there wasn't
An oversight, chief.

It was my decision.

I figured you didn't have
All the facts.

- thanks, charlie.
- all right.

Are you sure?

He told gino to check out
The alleys,

Windows and exits
Of terranova's place.

Theo, what about my son?

Now look, I promised you
I'd take care of that.

Now you get off the phone
Before he spots you.

Set up a plant
At terranova's place.

Who do you want to grab?

Look, stavros, when you set up
A plant, that means to observe.

So you set it up.
I'll be right over.

- saperstein.
- yeah?

Come on.

- mcneil.
- frank,

It's coming together
At last.

Now you listen to this.

We hear that greensteen
Is talking about a meet.

And then we hear terranova
Is talking about a meet.

And now we hear that it's gonna
Be set up at terranova's place.

Now look,
I'm setting up a plant.

What does brokaw say?

Well, I'd have to see
How this develops first.

Are you stalling, theo?

No, no.
I just don't know

How he'll react, frank.

All right.

Incidentally,
Brokaw sent out crocker

To pick up mary torino.

Maybe she can give us
Something.

Hey, frank,
She's with a psycho.

I mean, a cop gets near her,
He'll blow her away,

He'll blow crocker away.

Put out a call.
You get crocker back.

Brokaw gave the order.

What are you telling me?
Let it happen?

I'm telling you we're dealing
With an assistant chief

From headquarters
Who knows his business,

Not another beat cop
From manhattan north.

Frank, it was a bad move.

Now will you get
Crocker back, okay?

Blame it on me.
Just do it, and fast.

I'm coming right over.

Tracey, call communications.
Have crocker return at once.

They just set up a plant.

Now you watch a pro
And learn, kid.

First we assess
The situation.

Then-- now, greensteen's office
Is in the back.

Mary torino
Usually waits for him

Until he finishes his business,
Then she takes him home.

Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, son.

I said assess,
Not attack.

Now you stay on here
And you cover the street.

I'll go around the back.

Just stay out of sight.

How long do I know to wait
Till I go in?

I think you've been watching
Too many movies.

Now, this is not a raid.

Now you stay our here
Until I call you,

And if she comes running out
Then, you know,

You grab her,
And like that. Okay?

- okay, sir.
- hey, you keep at it.

You'll be good at it someday.

Like lieutenant kojak?

Hey, baby.

Better.

Like me.

I'm telling you,
It's gonna work.

Terranova has never made
A straight meet

In all his life.

This one will be straight.

It'll also be his last.

There's gonna be a lot
Of people there, joe.

It'll be a night
For them to remember, mary.

Suppose there's cops?

Where there's terranova,
There's cops.

I'll say it again.

Everybody goes.

No witnesses.
No worries.

Get me some ice, mary.

It's okay.

He's a cop.

You crazy?

Anybody out there?

Nobody.

They're onto you
For making the hit.

No way. I did it clean.
I swear.

We got nothing
To worry about.

Yeah.

Maybe he was just
Nosing around.

Go on and get the car.
Let's get him out of here.

Gino, you don't just
Hit a cop.

That's okay. Relax.
Go on, get the car.

You still alive?

Most of me is.

You know, somebody decided
To get rid

Of a headache named gino
And give you the credit for it.

How do you feel?

I'm okay, sir.

And what about that woman
You went after?

Well, I...

I think I saw her
Before I got hit,

But I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, lieutenant.

Well, that's okay.

At least you tried.

So why don't you go home.
Take some time, get some rest.

Would you come with me,
Lieutenant?

You too, captain.

An officer has been attacked.
A suspect is dead.

And that woman remains
On the street.

Rizzo!

Chief, the gangs
Are setting up a major meet.

We're now sure of that.

That woman is keeping us
On top of it.

Sir?

Put out an alarm
For mary torino.

The lieutenant will give you
A detailed description.

I'm sure he can even
Tell you where her dimples are.

Yes, sir.

Well, like you said.

He can't stay around forever.

Yeah. Blonde,
Female cauc--

Give me that.

Forget it.

Lieutenant,
Call this number.

How's the cop?

You really care?

Look, it was me that kept them
From killing him.

It's your fault.

Why'd you send the cops
After me?

I didn't.
It was somebody else's idea.

Listen, I got to get back.
They've moved the meeting again.

Look, you don't con me.

I got a team of cops out there
Getting frostbite.

And now you tell me
We're in the wrong place?

Theo, would I sell out
My kid's life?

It's the superior theater
On tenth.

Superior theater?

Benedict knows that place.

Oh, god.

Hey, don't worry
About it, okay?

We're trying to handle this
All without a shootout.

That's it, frank.
Numero uno.

Benedict. He's the one
That's been hitting both sides,

And it's working.

They're so scared
They're gonna sit down.

And benedict,
He plays the savior.

If we catch them together,
We have a solid conspiracy case.

Oh, lieutenant.

Come on in.

Long day?

Like all the others, sir.

You find that woman yet?

No, sir. Not yet.

Could you close the door?

You don't like me very much,
Do you?

Chief, I'm sorry.
I've got to go.

Be careful!

Take it from me,
Lieutenant.

It's not good enough
Just to do the job well.

Everybody needs somebody.

You do. I do.

You neglected to tell me
Of the plant.

You neglected to bring in
That woman.

You contradict me
In front of the men.

You ignore my instructions.

Now, how can line officers
Be expected to obey

When their lieutenant
Chooses not to?

You're right, sir.
I'll get off the case.

Oh, now we get to the root
Of your intent--

To be made a martyr,

Nailed to a cross
In front of your men,

So they'll never
Take instructions from me.

And I had hoped
We could work together.

Perhaps we see things
Differently, sir.

I am your chief.
You see things my way.

That's the way it works.

Yes, sir.

Frank, we have a problem
At manhattan south.

I know that, howard.

No.

You know, I can't go back
Downtown with empty pockets.

I don't want to disrupt
Your staff,

But I must have cooperation.

I mean, you'll all be here
After I'm gone.

Now, I'm not
A vindictive man,

But lieutenant kojak
Is a renegade,

And you've got
To talk to him, frank.

I'll talk to him, howard.

Thanks. I--

I'll appreciate
The effort.

Kojak, you and I.

We'd make a great team.

If only we could get past

The damn aggressive drive
That propels us all.

Howard, could we discuss
This further over dinner?

Uh...

No, thanks.
I--I have an appointment.

I can't stay very long.

Oh, I'm disappointed.

Tired?

Exhausted.

I was passed over
For promotion again.

You're a bright man. They'll
Realize that sooner or later.

You know,
It's been my philosophy

That a police officer shouldn't
Get involved in politics.

It's a big city.
Big problems.

Plenty enough to do there

Without getting
Into any other area.

We could lie down
And just hold each other.

I was a captain.

Thirty years old.

Only 30 years old,
And a captain.

One of the youngest ever.

Then we went
To this party.

Did I ever tell you
About that party?

It was, uh,

Someone's wife.

A state senator.
No, no, no. A city councilman.

Very attractive.

She was bored,

And I guess I had
A few too many.

And my wife was chatting
With a politician.

And...And she was bored.

I was playing the game.

And she got drunk.

She always got drunk.

But I--I can't blame her. I...

I spent most of my life
Being a good cop.

I forgot to be
A good husband.

I, uh...

Oh, god.

Come and sit over here.

Look, all I want in this
Godforsaken life of mine

Is someone
To listen to me.

Oh, this case I'm on.

I'm going to make the powers
That be understand

That I am still
An able man.

I would make an excellent
Commissioner. I really would.

Then you will.

What happens to life?

Where does it all
Go wrong?

I don't know.

I've tried very hard
To get to the top,

And I had it all.
I had it all.

Well, I--I feel very good
About this case.

I really do. I really do.

And I am gonna whip them
Into shape.

Yes, sir. I am gonna
Put them on track.

Kojak or no kojak.

Yes?

Kojak's whole crew
Just left.

They got a call,
They went to the new stakeout.

It sounded important.

Thank you.

Brokaw heard
About the new stakeout.

Simmons?

Who else?

What does he want, frank?

Dreams that won't
Come true.

And he blew those dreams
Himself, theo, a long time ago.

He was good.

He was the best.

He had a mark on him.

He was king of the hill.

And he knew it.

But then the whole cuchifrito
Hit the fan,

And he made mistakes.

Like the rest of us.

But at the goals
He was aiming for,

Mistakes are not forgiven.

Mary torino's life
Is in my hands.

How do I make him
Understand that?

I mean, how do you handle
Something like this?

I just spoke with brennan,
Downtown.

It wasn't easy for him,

But he finally admitted that
This new assignment for brokaw

Was make work to get the man
Out of the way.

He's not ready to retire.

They can't make him quit.

And he knows it.

Now, these murders
Come along.

He thinks there's a chance
To prove they made a mistake.

Theo, that man is drowning.

So what do you
Want me to do?

Understand.

Lieutenant?
Detective rizzo.

- rizzo?
- uh, lieutenant,

You name the con,
He's here.

Benedict?

No, none of the big guys
Are here yet.

But two of benedict's men
Are here.

All right, remember,
Don't rush it.

Okay, call the standby
Sector units.

Have them get down
To the theater right away.

Yes, sir.

I want every...

I want every felon pulled in
The instant he's I.D.'d.

- do you understand?
- yes, sir.

Hey, crocker,
Would you look at this parade?

It's like a convention
Down there.

First greensteen's men show up,

Go over the place
With a magnifying glass.

Doors, windows,
Fire escapes.

They even have
Walkie-talkies.

A few minutes later,
Two of terranova's men show up.

Go over the same routine.

Then benedict's team
Gets here.

Uh, we better
Get back down there.

No. Stay.

The chief ordered us
To pick up any hood

- with an open warrant.
- hey, crocker,

My informant is in there.

You want us to choose between
A lieutenant that we respect

Or the chief,
Who can throw the book at us?

What kind of deal is that?

Oh, you want me to make
The decision?

Look, this could be the biggest
Bust in ten years.

If you do it my way and we fail,
Then brokaw,

He can grind you all up,
Including me.

If we succeed,
Then we're just doing our job.

Hey, lieutenant.

Oh. Papa benedict
In all his glory.

All right, crocker, you take
Stavros and you take the rookie,

And you go to the back
Of the theater.

There are three
Blue and whites down there.

You take a couple of uniforms
To assist you.

Now when you hear me
On the bullhorn,

You go in the back way.

But you do nothing
Until they come out.

Don't use your walkie-talkies.
They might hear you.

If we don't surprise them
On both ends,

There could be a bloodbath.
Go ahead.

What do we have?

Well, the gang's
All here, sir.

All right, men. Go.

Wait a minute.

Did you recognize anyone
With a warrant on him?

Yes, sir.

Did you pick them up?

I see.

Okay, men. When you hear me
On the bullhorn,

You'll hold your positions.
Now go ahead.

You think you've won.

I never meant it
To be a contest, sir.

Word will get around
That the killings

Weren't the result
Of lazy police work,

But a calculated gang war.

You were right.
I was wrong.

But the least you are
In my eyes is insubordinate.

I don't know
What I've become lately.

Don't you?

You know, I've fought
Men like you all my life.

Well, how can I stop
Being what I am

And start being somebody
You can get along with, sir?

And what kind of a cop
Would that make me?

I don't know.

But one thing I do know,
Lieutenant.

I will punish you.

I know that.

What I don't know
Is why you waited so long.

Arrest her.

Mary torino.

Arrest her!

Arrest her!
You're disobeying orders.

Arrest...

Now you keep him here,
If you got to gag him.

He's a--he is a fine man.
Do you know that?

I mean, do you know
What he is?

Look at--look what
You did to him!

Keep your mouth closed
Until I get my men out of there,

Or I'll come back
And blow your head off.

Get out of here.
Police. Go!

They're all in there, theo.

Okay, gentlemen.
You know the positions.

Spread them.

Hands up.
Take a bow, and like that.

Lieutenant kojak,
I asked you a question.

Now did you or did you not
Keep the facts of the stakeouts

From chief brokaw?

Yes, sir, I did.

And your reasons?

- well, I felt that we should
Not move on that theater

Until we had the best
Possible conspiracy case,

Which required as many gangsters
There as possible.

Well, how were you
So sure that they'd arrive?

I trusted my informant.

Oh, the woman that you
Didn't pick up earlier?

Yes, sir. She was my only
Close contact with the gang,

And as it turned out,
She was the best.

Lieutenant, the chief
Ordered you to arrest her.

That would have meant
Her certain execution.

Right or wrong, we had made
A deal long before chief brokaw

Arrived on the scene.

Chief, uh, all we're trying
To do is to make some sense

Of this officer's actions
On one particular case.

Well, then question me.

I was the ranking officer
On the scene.

This case had been
Floundering.

It was bogged down
For months.

And I came into manhattan south
To get the job done.

But lieutenant kojak
Blocked me at every opportunity.

Now let's get back
To the matter of mary torino.

Now, lieutenant,
Did you ignore the chief

At the time that he gave orders
To pick that girl up?

Yes, sir. I felt he didn't
Have all the facts.

And later,
Outside the plant?

- yes, sir.
- why?

Well, it would have started
A shootout,

And I tried to explain
Men were in danger.

I had to make a decision,
And I did.

I see.

Gentlemen, I mean,

Is that why you think
I called this hearing?

Because some of my orders

Were ignored
In--in--in some cases?

Oh, no. It--

It goes beyond that.

It's much deeper.

Now, you--you all believe
That manhattan south

Is doing such
A bang-up job.

Of course, you see requisitions
For uf-61 complaint forms.

Well, last night

There was this wastebasket

In the squad room
At manhattan south,

And I stopped the maintenance
Man from dumping it.

And we inventoried
The contents together.

They are using complaint forms
For scrap paper.

Official documents
For scrap paper.

Do I shock you?

Please, let me show you
Something here.

I have here
35 complaint forms

That were all crumpled
And thrown into the wastebasket.

Thirty-five.

Now, how many complaints
Did we take yesterday?

Seven. Seven.
Wasn't it seven?

That--that leaves 28.

That's 28 complaint forms sooner

That we have to reorder pads
From downtown.

Now, that's 28 complaint forms
Every day.

That's, uh,
196 per week.

And it's--what?

10,192 per year.

And, why, my goodness.

Headquarters must think we've
Got all the streets blocked.

And here, here.

This one right here

Is from captain mcneil's
Own wastebasket.

That one. And here.

Here.

This one, this one.

These. These are all from--
From lieutenant--

Lieutenant kojak.

I will be a good
Commissioner.

I will execute the duties
Of my office with--

With--with great dedication,

And I will be fair and just
At all times.

Oh, lieutenant kojak.

Listen, uh, I'm sorry
This whole thing had to happen.

And I'd like to apologize.

You know, he was through
Ten years ago.

We shouldn't have given him
Useless assignments

Whereby he had to lie to himself
That they were important.

Uh, chief,
Your car is waiting downstairs.

Well, anyway,
My apologies.

All right, sir.

Outside.

Theo.

Thanks.

They let him out
For a few days.

If you get picked up
For anything,

I'm gonna put you in a cage
And I'm gonna melt the key.

- do you understand?
- oh, he'll be good.

He's got such a great guy
Behind him.

Yeah. And take care
Of your mother.

All right.

Um...

I guess there's nothing
Left to say.

I know you worked
Real hard for this.

It was nothing.

Nothing at all.
Just a piece of cake.
