Three liquor-store robbers, two men and a woman, kill a cop while escaping. The woman and the younger man get away, but the older killer is captured. When allowed to make his one phone call, he talks in Greek to the younger robber, telling him about Kojak's niece and the birthday party she is having in Central Park. The killers stake out the party and kidnap the little girl, demanding the leader's release as a ransom for letting the child go. Crocker tracks down one of their hideouts and kills the younger gunman in a fight, but the woman and girl are nowhere to be found (the woman is using a disguise). Kojak uses a painting the little girl included in a ransom note to figure out where they might be headed. |

In an episode originally scheduled as the season opener (it was pushed back a few weeks to allow "Birthday Party," considered a better audience draw, to get the slot), a serial killer plunges a knife into anyone who stiffs him consumerwise -- six murders to date. The chief suspect is a troubled young man who sprays graffiti on walls talking about the character "The Grim Reaper." The young man is not, in fact, the killer (who shows up at the end of the third act in the shot-on-location footage), but gets a vicarious feeling out of the little guy fighting back. Kojak tries to enlist the young man to try to mimic the killer's thinking skills and stop him before he can strike again. |

Kojak gets word from Crocker about a sniper shooting on a golf course. The M.O. is that of a notorious hit man whose tally is 110 victims. When Kojak asks who did the sniper kill this time, Crocker replies: "He didn't, he missed." A stunned Kojak and a Federal agent tracking the hit man try to find out what might have happened. The slug came closest to an up-and-coming politician who's trying to woo the ethnic groups in New York City, and has made a powerful enemy in Koreatown, and when Kojak and a Korean-American officer (whose father was African-American and who looks it) go to chat with the suspect, the cop picks up the conversation in Korean and confirms that the suspect ordered the hit. But before he can be arrested, the suspected hire is found gunned down in his own car. The hit man, spurred by rage at the victim (who violently shook his son, causing the sniper to spazz out and waste his shot) plugged his own employer for advising to lay off the hit, and with a second gun is going after the politician himself. |

The regular-series finale, described by other authors as "A 'The Caine Mutiny' for the police force" and directed by Telly Savalas (his only directing credit for series television), features Danny Thomas as an assistant chief inspector who is haunted by an error he made years ago, keeping him from the top chief-inspector position he so desperately wants even though he is aging and his skill as a police officer is falling to pieces. Desperate to prove himself, he latches onto Kojak's investigation of the mob and tries to run it to bring a "scalp" to the top brass. Kojak soon realizes the old man is a dangerous liability to the investigation and to himself, and tries to figure out how to survive an inquiry launched by the vengeful assistant chief inspector after literally dragging him aside. Perhaps not coincidentally, this episode has MANY similarities to Thomas's last role on "Empty Nest" in 1991, where he played a doctor and mentor to Dr. Weston who had let his age impair his skills as a diagnostician. |
