Kojak: Before the Devil Knows (1974)
Season 1, Episode 17
7/10
Respect for a professional
8 August 2019
Usually Theo Kojak is not about passing out compliments to members of the criminal profession. But Henry Darrow is considered the Muhammed Ali of cat burglars. There are never any fatalities in any case he's involved in.

So when a partner is killed during a burglary Telly Savalas knows, just knows that Darrow didn't do it. And Darrow isn't about to let a murderer escape either, especially a murderer of his partner.

You have to love the scenes with Darrow and Savalas. Kojak never gets a scrap of evidence that Darrow was on the scene.. They talk around in hypotheticals. It's brilliant.

As is the episode.
