Loan Shark (Barney Miller)

S5.E8 Loan Shark

Nick Yemana (Barney Miller)

Episode aired Nov 2, 1978

Yemana is celebrating his 20th anniversary on the police force, and after listening to comments about his filing and his coffee, takes an early lunch to put some money on a horse. Wojo gets to pay tribute to Nick by preparing a special cup of Polish coffee for him:

• Wojo: "Not too good huh?"
• Yemana: "All these years, I though it was me!"

Most poignant of all is the fact that Jack Soo would only be able to film one more episode before his illness became terminal.
