There's a gang war brewing in the barrio and Kojak puts a Latino undercover cop there played by Tony Diaz. Half the neighborhood seems to be in debt to the shylocks and the numbers racket is cleaning up on the hopes and dreams of people trying to get out from under with one long-shot hit.
Some of the young bloods kill one of the collectors and also hit a policy bank. Diaz could probably bust them, but he's coming around to their way of thinking about cleaning up the neighborhood. To sum it up Diaz has gone rogue.
In some ways I have sympathy for what Diaz is thinking. As he says Kojak and the rest of his squad can go home and leave it at the office. It's a sad, but bitter truth and this is a sad and bitter episode.
A nice performance by Tony Diaz as the torn cop highlights this Kojak story.
