Kojak (1973–1978): Season 2, Episode 18 - Queen of the Gypsies - full transcript

When a bank gets robbed by men arriving in an ambulance, one of their masks slips. A young woman who apparently passed a counterfeit bill sees him but fails to pick out his mug shot. She is identified as a gypsy; her family is involved in various scams. She contacts the bank robbers and recruits them to rob six banks in one day. Kojak pretends to see the future in his lollipop while interrogating the gypsy con-artists and takes Marina in for questioning. Meanwhile her ingenious plan goes into operation without her.The men plan to cut her out, but Merina has other ideas-maybe even letting the police in on it IF she receives immunity. She has private reasons that surprise even Kojak.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ah, you guys are right on time, as usual.

How's it going today?

[KNOCKING]

Let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Uh, just a second.

I want to fill out the, um, for
deposit only, for deposit only.

Right.

And these are endorsed correctly.



All right, I want to deposit
these for Ardmore Hardware.

Uh-huh.

OK.

Am I supposed to put the little
numbers of the check-- Yeah, you are.

--on there? - Yeah, right.

Right over here, see?

I thought so, because-- oh, while I'm doing
that, would you please cash this for me?

Two rolls of pennies, a roll of nickels,
a roll of dimes, and the rest in quarters?

Two pennies, two rolls of nickels.

Please.

Um, um, um, um, one, nine, eight, B, and B.

You ready?

[LAUGHS]

Just one, eight, three, five, seven.



Correct, though.

Thank you.

And there's your pen.

Yeah.

Here you go.

One, two, three, four is a dollar.

One, two, three-- $2.10.

Here's your book.

Thank you very much.

Is that your pen?

My pen.

Oh, good.

I'm sorry.

Yes, sir.

Oh!

Excuse me.

Sorry to have you-- Hello.

Would you mind cashing this for me?

I'd like $51 bills.

Here you go.

I'll count it.

Great.

Thank you very much.

I'm so sorry.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Stella, I need some change.

Here you go.

When did you accept this?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lift off the bags.

Drop those bags right there.

All right, everybody, just stand still.

Watch out!

[GUNSHOTS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

10-30 in the 12th precinct.

Perpetrator's escaping
in a white Norwich

ambulance, east on 16th
Street and 8th Avenue.

Use caution, on.

Repeat location.

That's east on 16th Street and 8th Avenue.

10-4.

An ambulance, Crocker.

Nothing sacred.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

There, 16th.

747 to Central, now have ambulance spotted.

He's on Broadway, heading south.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[SIREN]

[GUNSHOT]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[sirens sounding]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[sirens sounding].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[sirens sounding]

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[SIREN]

Did you get the plate?

Yeah.

VIP, 439, I think.

You call it in.

I'm going back to the bank.

OK.

Here, don't say I never gave you anything.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You see what happened, lady?

Saw him when his mask come off, didn't you?

She's seen one of them.

Get her name.

Yeah, sure.

That could have been you or me.

We got lucky.

Miss, are you hurt?

He's dead.

Just like that.

It happens.

Those men, did you get them?

Not yet, but I expect we will.

You expect so.

That's all.

Miss, I understand you saw
the face of one of the men.

Well, if they should get away, we're
going to need you to track them down.

Lieutenant.

Pure silk, $0.50 apiece.

He was probably getting $5 for them, or
whatever he can, or whatever he could.

Yeah, well, his name is Jonathan
Laszlo, and he has a Brooklyn address.

All right, notify an extra kid and
get the body down to the morgue.

Right.

Thanks for your help.

Lieutenant, they've made it.

We followed them in the alley,
got into a truck, and they split.

We lost them.

What's your name, miss?

Marina.

Marina Sheldon.

Miss Sheldon, I think we ought to go
downtown and start looking at pictures.

What about him?

Well, the body will go to
the morgue until it's identified.

Please, come on.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

This man I'm looking for, if I find him,

if I identify him in court, then
he definitely goes to jail for sure.

Well, it depends on his attorney.

A lot of things.

They're going to try
to attack your memory

because of all the
excitement and everything.

If you were a bum, they'd
go after your character.

Like that.

Uh-huh.

Now, these date back a little
further than what you got there.

These?

Yeah.

You spot something?

Uh, he looked like a friend
of my sister's, a missionary.

In Guatemala.

Guatemala?

Definitely not him.

I smell coffee.

There are a lot of people around
here who have cups of coffee.

Do you think that I could
possibly have some, Black?

Please forgive me.

Sometimes my manners are a little odious.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Coffee?

Thank you.

Black.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING].

Ah, Marina.

Bonzi, go tell your
Uncle John Marina's here.

Such a terrible thing.

In the middle of the city,
in the middle of the day.

You know, Marina, you always
have a job here with us if you want it.

There are still people with
money who believe in us.

Thank you, Katrina.

I have something else to
do first before anything else.

But if you want money,
you must ask with money.

If the spirits take this,
you will be truly blessed.

Marina.

Marina.

Sit down.

Sit down, Marina.

Sit down.

You are going to be all right.

Yes.

I need your help.

Don't ask.

You have it.

Anything.

This man, Clyde Regan, everything I
know about him is written on the back.

He is a gypsy?

No, no.

A guard job.

He's one of the bank robbers.

I want to find him.

The robbery.

John, it gives me such an idea.

Well, we can try.

We may not be only thousands, but
we are a million of these guard jobs.

You'll need money for the informants.

You cannot give me cent number one.

If I were a younger man,
I would ask my family

to pay whatever your
father wanted for your dowry.

But now we cannot ask your
father such things anymore.

You'll help me now.

You'll make things right for me.

Susan, we want copies of this picture.

I know where I can get them.

Free.

Took it apart at Ballistics.

No fingerprints on any part of it.

It's as clean as the ambulance.

Did you check with Treasury?

Yeah, they'll be coming down later.

Tentatively, they think it's from a heist

from a National Guard
Armory up in Albany last year.

They got any leads on that job?

No, nothing.

Anything from the agency
that rented out the ambulance?

Yeah.

The guy who made the arrangements, he said
it was a prop for a porno film production.

They promised a rental clerk that he'd
come down on the set for a couple of days.

He was so busy gazing
at the body beautifully,

he wasn't looking
at his client's face.

What is this?

Three guys spray lead
all over the sidewalk.

They kill a little old man.

Nearly score for
300,000 bucks in midtown,

broad daylight, and
we've got nothing to go on?

Lieutenant, you wanted to
talk to the manager of the bank?

Mr. Marcus, Lieutenant Kojak.

Hello, Mr. Marcus.

Please, come into the office.

Well, maybe, Mr. Marcus, somebody inside
the bank, you know, an employee, a customer,

helped these guys with
the timing on this job.

Oh, that pickup, it's made
exactly the same time every day.

Anybody could sit in that coffee shop
across the street and check that out.

Well, we checked with
the waitresses across

the street and came
up with no leads at all.

How about maybe a new employee
didn't come to work this morning?

No, but while I am here, there's
something I'd like you to help me out with.

You talk about coincidence.

I think that girl involved in the shootout

is the same one who passed
this counterfeit over on my teller.

There were some bank deposit slips
taken from a hardware store nearby.

She used those to distract my teller.

Some kind of monkey business,
and then she slipped that over on her.

Stavros!

You went through that 52 file
with Mary and Sheldon yesterday?

Yeah, it drew a blank. Why?

All right. Let me have her address.

You take Mr. Marcus, you
can go through the files.

Maybe you'll spot a familiar
face that was cased at the bank.

Mr. Marcus, will you come with me?

Thanks.

Got your specs with you?

Yeah.

185, West 20th.

Hold it, Frank.

195, 495.

Yeah, the number's there
with 466 on the figure.

Sure, I figured.

Give me that 50. I'll call Treasury.

See what they've got on it.

Stavros.

You get finished here,
I want you to use an

identikit and make up
something on Marina Sheldon.

And when you're finished,
I'll add what I can, okay?

Yes, sir.

Hey, excuse me.

Where's Victor here?

Clyde Reagan.

Yeah, she stopped at this car for a minute.

She must have ripped off his picture.
I wonder why.

Smoked-time con lady and
a big-shot bank robber, huh?

Who knows? Maybe it's
hero worship, love at first sight.

How do I know? Maybe she's an accomplice.

Why steal a mugshot?

Right here.
See if you can find the address on him.

Pick him up.

And if not, just stake it out
and get back to me, okay?

And a yellow sheet on the check, all right?
I want to talk to her.

Marina.

You all right?

Come inside. Come. We're having a party.
It won't be good for you.

John said you wanted to see me.

If it's about passing any more counterfeit
bills, I can't do that right now.

No, no, no, no, no.
This is not counterfeit.

This is about the man
that you are looking for.

Now, I passed the picture
around, and I know a person

who arranges it for people
who want to get guns.

Now, you say there were machine
guns involved in this robbery. Good.

My friend, he took a man to get two
guns exactly like that about a month ago.

Now, he thought that he was a
cop, so he stalled him for a few days,

and then he followed him, made
sure he didn't go to the police.

When he didn't, they made the deal.

This man, this is Reagan?

No, no, but it may be one of the others.

No, he lives at, um, here. All the information
is right in the back of the picture.

Sam Graves.

You sure no one followed you, Sam?

All right, nobody's got
my apartment staked out.

I got eyes in the back of my head like ESP.

No one has a stakeout.

Yeah, maybe the girl was so
scared she forgot what she saw.

If I saw your face, I'd be scared, too.

Oh, that's very funny, Benson.

Everybody's laughing
like it's an old war movie.

We lose the battle and we laugh?

$280,000, that's what I figured we had.

And you can't even keep two
bags from falling off a truck.

It was dumb in the first place.
I'm midtown, broad daylight. What is that?

That's the only way to do it.

With the ambulance, it was perfect.
Except the guard draws.

They had it called in even before that.

Look at this. Five solid
pages of banks in the

Manhattan Classified, and
we can't pull off one of them.

I don't believe it.

Hey, Clyde, lay off for
a couple of days, huh?

Relax. We let our minds clear.

- Get one stick of these. - Yeah.

Sure.

Sure, it's the same batch.
There's no doubt about it.

There's a lot of this
stuff floating around.

Well, this is the girl who passed it.

This face mean anything to
anybody down at Treasury?

Sure. This fits a couple
of descriptions we've had.

Got no name on her, but
we think she's a gypsy.

Oh, really?

We've got our eye on one of
the wholesalers. He's a gypsy.

He sells a counterfeit
to other gypsies, then

they try to pass
it, like this girl here.

What's your interest in her?

Well, I got three bank robbers out there,

and every one of them
indictable for murder.

All I got for a lead is this
little con artist who, for

some reason or other, has
an interest in one of the men.

Now I gotta find that girl,
maybe through the wholesaler.

His name's Quire. Aldo Quire.

I'll get you his address.

Okay, thanks.

Three aces.

(knocking)

Who's that?

Cops.

Who's there?

I'm looking for Sam Graves.
I'm a friend of the guy who sells guns.

Come in.

(gasping)

You're the broad at the bank. What is this?

How the hell did you get here?

Probably the same way the cops will. That
is, if you don't move as fast as possible.

And if you want to stay out of jail.

And if you want to pull off the biggest
job of your life in the next few days.

Some broad finds us.
She's got to be right about the cops.

What's your angle, lady?

Look, I could have identified
you to the cops. I didn't.

Instead, I took a gamble that I'd
find you before them, and I did.

My name is Marina. I'm a gypsy. Understand?

Since I was 11 years old, I
was bringing home 50, 100

bucks a day, working
different cons for my family.

I got a touch for it. I'm better at
working out angles than anybody I know.

Now you give me an idea how to
figure out the biggest bank job ever.

With no risk.

I think we ought to get the hell
out of here. If a chick like this can--

All right! We move.

But first, our gypsy
genius is going to tell

us how she's going to
make us all millionaires.

But baby, it better be good.

Or you ain't going no place.

Oh, this is better than good.
This is perfect.

I'm here.

Got them.

Bellhop uniforms. They had them in stock.

Wait till you see this.

All right.

That's the right color? Gray?

That's close enough. Sure.

We just get the
embroidery up the leg, and

we get the company
shields for the shoulders.

That's not the kind of gun they use.

No. Got them right here.

This is an air pistol. I just picked it up.

You got the gas can?

Yeah. Filled with water.

These the biggest darts they make?

Yeah. This is the most powerful
pistol, too. Let me see that.

Beautiful.

Out of sight!

Right on target, too.

Okay, I'm convinced.
Now, I'm getting impatient.

All right, well, I get
these started early tonight.

I get them back maybe
tomorrow. Maybe we go tomorrow.

All right.

If I can locate my friend Dennis in time.

The sooner the better, because
I ought to go get the cars.

All right. One station wagon and a nice
inconspicuous sedan for the getaway.

You park it back in the alley.

Okay.

All right.

Wait a minute.
Don't nobody want to see this?

Oh! Just like magic, huh?

Hey, that's a good product.

Do we follow or pick him up?

Pick him up or what? You can't get a gypsy
to get a straight ass out of another gypsy.

You gotta be kidding. You ever heard
about the mob being tight-mouthed?

The gypsies make the mob
seem like a nonstop canary.

We're gonna have to get him.

[♪♪♪].

[♪♪♪].

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, Crocker, there's a real specialist
you ought to check out one day.

Dennis the four guy.

You know, he's got the
best tumblin' act in New York.

Except when the poor
showy's at Carnegie Hall.

The-- The gardener, Lieutenant.

Garden-- The gardener.

Hey!

[♪♪♪]

How you doing, huh?

How you doing, Aldo?

I'm doing all right.
How did you do on that old lady there?

A hundred bucks for a new jacket.
She got a good deal.

Yeah. I got a friend who's willing
to put 500 down for one little fault.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

Dennis and a counterfeiter?

I don't get it.

You really want me to do that?
That'll be a first time for me.

No. Your money and your
instructions will be at this address.

Now, you get there by 11.
It'll come down this afternoon.

-You got a deal. -Good luck.

[♪♪♪].

-How many more? -That's it.

That's all of them.

(suspenful music)

I think it's time I got my fortune told.

[♪♪♪]

Marina, Aldo is here.

Did you find that man at the bank robber?

Yes.
That's why I called about needing Dennis.

Did you talk to him?

Yes. He's on his way to
the address you gave me.

[knocking].

You know this man?

Yes.

Kojak.

He's returning to take
me to the police station.

Go in the back.

Yes?

Hello there. I'm Lieutenant
Kojak, Manhattan South.

I've come for a tea reading.

I got my life, it's all
full of these mysteries.

-Of course. Come in. -Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

Susan.

My daughter is very
good with the tea leaves.

Hey, Susan, make some
tea for the police officer.

Yes, Father.

Oh, Aldo.

Don't leave.

Look at that. I got my own crystal ball.

And what do I see in there?

I see that you are a very shady character.

Ah!
Look, I also see a very pretty dark girl.

Huh? She's in a lot of trouble.
She's in a lot of trouble with me.

You know, she's a
razzle-dazzle carnalist

little chick, passing
bad paper all over town.

Marina, whatever her real name is.

Marina? Never heard of her.

-Clyde Regan? -Regan.

-Is he a friend of yours? -Him?

He's my cousin. His name is John.

John? Come here, John.

What are you gonna do with your daughter?

You gonna teach her how
to con these little old ladies

who come in here to
have their fortunes told?

You gonna teach her
how to switch the wallets?

How about that Mexican truck swindle?

Maybe she will become a doctor, no?

Hmm. Perhaps she will become a hooker, yes?

A curva? Ah, come on, Lieutenant.

A gypsy woman who is a prostitute?
It never happens.

She would be thrown out worse.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, I see her in the doorways.

I see her with no visible means of support.

I see her being picked up for prostitution.

But more. I see this whole
oficia here being closed down.

Come here. You wanna take a peek?

You think you can do anything with us?

Make any threats?

Hey, do you think you can do anything? Huh?

Do you think you have a
divine right to go around

stealing and lie to me?
I wanna find this Marina.

I wanna find out how come
she comes to my office,

goes to the fire, steals a
mugshot of this Clyde Regan.

I wanna find out how
he met this morning with

Dennis, the insurance
company's nightmare.

Hello? Regan. Marina.

Look, I'm sending a girl
over now with the uniforms.

They're all set.

And the guy I'm sending
him over, he's on his way.

With-- for the accident?

Look, I can't go through it with you.

What do you mean?

Listen, you don't need me anyhow.

We've run through it enough times.

So do it this afternoon.

You'll never get a better chance.

Okay. So, uh, when do we meet?

How do we get you your share?

Uh, you phone me at this number
I'm gonna give you after the job.

683-4599.

Okay.

Regan, don't try and cheat me.

I'm too smart.

I got too many friends.

I'll find you.

Are you kidding?

You deserve everything you
got coming for this scheme.

You're a genius kid.

Good luck.

Fellas...

we just saved ourselves a million bucks.

You want to make war with us?

Okay, lieutenant.

We make war with you.

Hey...

You laying threats on me?

Lieutenant Kojak.

Is there something I can do for you?

Oh, yeah.

Come downtown with me.

You lay there by my campfire.

You tell me little gypsy stories.

We talk about Clyde Regan.

We also talk about funny
money just for laughs.

Come on.

Marina.

Don't worry, Johnny.

Do you know what she's doing?

No, no, no, not exactly.

But whatever it is, that lieutenant is
not going to find out anything from her.

Never.

Okay, fellas.

Let's go get rich.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Here it comes now.

Wait till it comes closer.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, I can see it now.

Coming out pretty fast.

Figure what, ten minutes?

That makes it one o'clock.

Right on schedule.

[♪♪♪].

[♪♪♪].

[♪♪♪].

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪].

[♪♪♪]

(dramatic music).

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What's wrong?

All I know is we're not
going anywhere in this truck.

Oh, hell, and we got 10 pickups to make.

I'll go call for a replacement.

[MUSIC PLAYING].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lieutenant, we're finished with her.

Oh, yes.

Please sit down, Miss Sheldon.

Or is it Manasha, or Remitra, or Corso?

You know a lot about gypsy families.

My second year on the
force, I knew this Amy Poland.

Yeah, she was trying to hustle a couple
of sweet little old ladies, you know.

She told them, you
got to burn your life

savings in order to get
rid of the curse, right?

They burned something, right?

What they burned was paper
wrapped up in a babushka,

which Miss Amy Poland had
switched at the last minute.

A great chick, that Amy Poland.

Oh, yeah.

But that was a god, your name.

Her real name was Pavlina Spirko.

You heard of her?

Yes, my father was very
good friends with her.

And a few times, I remember,
I was taken to visit her.

I could listen to her.

I used to hide in the ofice.

And I was told, listen to her very hard.

See how good she is.

And she was.

I was about seven, I think.

Really?

What a wonderful childhood.

You know the story of the fourth nail?

In the story of the crucifixion of Christ,

they say originally there
were intended to be four nails.

But then the gypsy stole one of them.

The one intended for the heart.

And ever since then, God has given
the right to the gypsies to steal, right?

Yeah, I've heard that
wonderful story a hundred times.

Better talk out the mustard with me.

Any barjews, Marina?

Any little old ladies
you've been hustling lately?

I always worked with my father.

We never did that sort of thing.

How about that counterfeit money?

You've been nailed pretty
good on that one, huh?

You never would have if it
hadn't been for the robbery.

Yeah, how about that robbery?

How are you involved in that?

This Clyde Regan, what is
he, one of your gageau lovers?

You had to go to the 52 final to
steal his pictures to protect them?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh.

Presto, the property clerk, he
even tore at your bag contents.

He came up with this.

All right.

You know, Lieutenant, the last
thing a gypsy wants to do is go to jail.

Tell me why.

You want to drop the charges?

No, no, no.

No deals.

Not a front.

You just keep talking.

You know?

Who knows?

All right.

You know, when I came
down here after the robbery,

I couldn't believe those
robbers had gotten away.

And then that Detective Stavros, he
told me that it would be my testimony.

Me, as a witness in
court, that would nail them.

So then I figured it's going
to come out that I'm a gypsy.

My record, maybe even
the allegations about the $50

counterfeit bill, and all that's
going to damage my testimony.

So then I got the idea.

I decided, why don't I go find Regan?

I can, on my own, with my connections.

Don't stop, Marina.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Fairy tales, I love them.

It's true.

I was going to locate him for you,
then I'd tell you where to pick him up.

Never happened.

What for?

So you can get a civilian commendation?

Now you listen.

Even though they're only
deposit slips, it's a felony.

And we got you now on two counts.

That's five to 10.

You think about that before you start pulling
those bourgeois snow jobs on me, baby.

(suspenful music)

Oh, no.

Hey, mister.

Mister.

You put this guy?

Yeah, get a cop.

We better not move him.

Looks like his back.

Hey, mister.

Mister, can you hear me?

They call you?

The other guy's truck blew up on him.

Yes.

We're running late.

Let's go, please.

Somebody better call an ambulance.

You the driver?

Yeah, that's right.

Can I see your license, please?

Hey, come on.

What'd I do?

I got pickups to make.

Not right now, you don't.

You did it.

All right.

We got 30 minutes for six stops.

Move it.

Kojak.

Yeah, Frank.

You're kidding.

All right, thanks.

Treasury Department just
busted out the acquired.

Dropping names right
and left, including yours.

Crocker.

Look.

I don't believe it.

I was telling you the
whole thing about Clyde.

Yeah, sure you were.

Well, that fairy tales, honey.

I'm a very busy man, OK?

Would you take the prisoner away?

This way, ma'am.

[PHONE RINGING]

All right, I'd pay a million
to stay out of jail if I had it.

So I might as well do it this way.

Excuse me, ma'am.

OK, Marina, am I going to like this story?

You're going to love it.

You see, I always
wanted to knock off a bank.

In fact, a lot of banks.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Tomorrow we'll finish here?

Yeah, sure, go ahead.

All right, pick me up a
50 pound bag of 100.

Yeah, I'll do that.

So then Dennis, he takes a fall under
the wheels of the replacement truck.

And then they can't move
for maybe 30 minutes.

And in that time, the other car goes ahead

and cleans up all the banks
along the rest of the route.

It's genius.

Huh?

Not that I admire it, but it's pure genius.

Why were these guys holed
up waiting for it to happen?

Now, lady,

these are
killers, and I want them now.

Yeah, but I get something.

I want something in writing.

Huh?

Oh, yes, Stavros, this is your lieutenant.

Get an assistant DA
down here in five minutes.

You know what we got in back?

Five million, easy.

Back to the store.

You'll be granted immunity on
the bank job if we stop it in time.

Now, where are these guys now,
and when is the surprise coming down?

Right now.

Maybe you can still catch them.

Where?

Canal Street.

Get in with you.

I'll show you.

All right, Saperstein, get Crocker
and Stavros, and come on, fast.

Right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR ENGINE].

Car 723 to Central, have available
units 1085 at Canal and Center Street.

Feels good, huh?

Give it that I created it.

$200,000 for Mr. Benson.

Yeah, yeah.

$200,000, Mr. Gray.

Keeps a nice $200,000 for me.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You know they're not going to give up.

They'll shoot it out for that much money.

Be careful.

That's the way.

Police, open up.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's get out of here.

Freeze.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Cuff him.

Saperstein, you all right?

Yeah.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK, let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, yeah.

You really did these guys a favor.

Brigand gets blown away, the
other two nailed dead to rights.

You should have stuck
to your tea leaves, baby.

They sure were better off without you.

That's exactly right, Lieutenant.

Even if you picked them up before,
you got a lousy case against them.

They could have gotten off, right?

Well, anything's possible.

Well, I didn't want that.

Aldo Coir arrested by Treasury,
giving up a lot of gypsy names.

You think I bought that scam?

Hey, kid, don't take my lollipop away.

You know, we had you
shook down pretty good.

Sure, on my timetable.

You know, I had it all on a timetable,
the robbery and the confession.

235, truck pulls up to store.

220, with or without your help,
Lieutenant, I would have confessed.

You're going to turn yourself in, right?

Hey, Marina, I'm listening.

Make it good.

I always worked with
my father, beautiful man.

He never sold me to anybody.

He was waiting for me outside that bank.

Lazlo.

The man that Regan cut in
half with his bloody machine gun.

My father.

That agreement you
signed clears me in this case.

Do you want me to call a
lawyer on any other charges?

No.

We'll make another deal.

You know, if this story ever gets out,

they're going to make you
the queen of the gypsies.

And one thing I don't
need is another queen of

the gypsies within 1,000
miles of my precinct.

Hey, look, kid, you go Bury your
father, do what you have to do.

And if we can't find you in three days

when we come to arrest you
for your funny money caper,

you're not there, well,
you'll do us both a favor.

We'll both be very lucky.

Lieutenant, you're going
to live to a nice ripe old age.

Baby, out.

Thanks.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

How did she figure in this?

What's the story?

Well, look, Crocker, you'll
have to read my memoirs.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, this one's too good to give away.
