Director: Paul Stanley; Writer: James M. Miller Summary: Maximilian Krouse (Jon Silo), chairman of the board of Duchess Jewelry, is worried that the corporate, which lately went through a shakeup, is being repurposed as a jewellery chop store, melting down, recutting and placing stones in new fixtures. In 2021, the Washington Post reported, the muse “reported it had $74,one hundred and one in revenue and spent simply 12 percent of that, or $9,000, while $32,000 went to administrative prices (including almost $12,400 to pay off a truck the charity purchased in 2018 for $27,369)”. They are interrupted by David Lawrence (Robert Webber), who, it seems later, has recognized Celia even longer than Krouse, and who launched her to numerous men including Krouse over the years. These affairs usually have giant amounts of cops attending, including those not solely from New York City on this case, but all around the country. Kojak and the cops soon arrive, and after some humorous banter with a rookie who discovered Krouse’s physique, they enter the place, the place they discover Cole, who not too long ago acquired out of jail on parole, in charge of the crew there. When Kojak goes later to speak to Jack (who does cling out in La Culebra, regardless that the decor in the background is totally different than when Kojak was there earlier talking to Sammy), Jack says the $10,000 that got his father killed was extorted from a “respectable businessman, a rich man, a closet queen.” Kojak says this is baloney, and that Jack informed his father “the one story he could sq. together with his policeman’s conscience.” Kojak says that Jack truly got the money from promoting information to the robbers his father and Geno had been after that he gleaned from his father’s obligation schedule.
Review: This can be a troublesome episode to evaluate, because it seems to me that a few of it got left on the chopping room ground because of the subject material, which is type of rank for its day. In the future he recalled listening to a talk by Silver about his adhesive and had an concept to resolve both of their problems – a sticky observe that used Silver’s adhesive. But after Sammy is found dead the subsequent morning, Kojak learns from one in all Sammy’s mates Sandro (Gil Serna) that Sammy was additionally gay, and puts two and two collectively (see beneath for further discussion). Kojak has a gun fight with two of those guys, and Jack himself is wounded when he tries to help. Would Jack actually have access to this info? Sammy had to get the data that he gave to the cops from someplace, and it was obviously modified round as a result of each time Jack’s father and Geno went to raid a place the place a theft was taking place, the robbers have been in another location. Readers are fearful Paypal is compromised, however I don’t have any evidence of that. Is he suggesting that Jack and Sammy are “pals,” as if this is the one gay bar in city?
Kojak calls Sammy “Coochie-coo.” When Kojak goes to La Culebra to speak to Jack, he tells some guy who Jack is speaking to, “Kiss off, Goldilocks, your porridge is gettin’ chilly.” While Kojak is speaking to Jack, a fly lands on Jack’s shoulder for just a few seconds. Sammy is a bartender at La Culebra (The Viper or Snake), an after-hours bar. He additionally calls Broen “Fatso.” – An exterior shot, supposedly of La Culebra at night time, reveals an indication saying “Noah’s Ark.” The shoppers on this place are solely men (i.e., given the context of the present, they’re gay). All of the individuals working in the place are taken away to be booked downtown. He sneaks into the corporate late at night with a camera and takes some photos, however because of his asthmatic wheezing, he is caught by two of the thugs now working there — Nicky Cole (Nicholas Courtland) and McGregor (Mel Allen).
When the 2 males are in the office, the opposite males are laughing themselves silly at how ridiculous they look. Kojak orders his males to go away no stone unturned after getting the Police Commissioner to give him the next forty eight hours to analyze what really occurred. The underlying assumption is that gay men and lesbians are totally different in some important method from heterosexual folks, and this difference implicates their aberrant gender expression. Later, McNeil says he thinks that the $10,000 was related with some type of shakedown because Donnelly’s kid was gay. Michael Gregory, who performed Edgar, a character Kojak meets near the end of the show, posted on Twitter on September 24, 2015: “Within the ‘Requiem For A Cop’ episode, I am a part of a gang of gay burglars.” This leads to Gregory’s Facebook web page where he continues: “My favorite line to Telly Savalas was “Now, that is what I name a ‘really’ dangerous case of dandruff.” He reaches out, grabs my cheek, shakes it and provides me one of his well-known Savalas pats!” But there is no such thing as a reference to a gang of gay burglars in the present that I can detect on the Universal DVD launch, most likely as a result of any reference to this was left on the chopping room flooring.
