Gifts and Long Letters (5x12)

Uitzenddatum: Dec 20, 1972

Malloy and Reed are called to a hotel to stop a suicide attempt, which they do and the woman leaves a note for another patron of the hotel, a parolee with ties to organized crime who refuses to speak with the woman because he thinks someone from the mob is after him. Later the officers are called back to the hotel because the manager wants the parolee evicted because he's up typing until the wee hours of the morning, then another call to the hotel results in a shootout between the officers and the parolee, who was having delusions the mob was after him. In another case, the officers offer assistance to a man whose car needed a tire change and the man declined; the officers receive a radio report of a robbery which involved the same man and car. Detectives later apprehend the man; Malloy and Reed verify the suspect's identity.
