00:01:03,911 --> 00:01:05,708
Morning.
Morning, Doctor.

00:01:18,892 --> 00:01:20,189
(DOOR OPENS)
3
00:01:25,465 --> 00:01:27,956
Good morning, Frances.
He wants to
see you. Now.
4
00:01:28,035 --> 00:01:30,367
Oh. He's upset, right?
5
00:01:30,437 --> 00:01:31,665
Right.
6
00:01:34,608 --> 00:01:35,836
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
7
00:01:35,909 --> 00:01:37,308
Come in.
8
00:01:39,446 --> 00:01:42,040
Hi, Dad.
Don't "Hi, Dad"
me, young man.
9
00:01:42,115 --> 00:01:44,879
Sir, I know I'm a little
late. I'm sorry. It couldn't
have been helped.
10
00:01:44,952 --> 00:01:46,579
I ran into
Bo Youngstreet.
11
00:01:46,653 --> 00:01:47,950
I think I told
you about him.
12
00:01:48,021 --> 00:01:50,751
He owns a couple dozen
oil wells outside Tulsa.
Sit down.
13
00:01:50,824 --> 00:01:52,052
I wouldn't have
given him any time,
14
00:01:52,125 --> 00:01:54,355
but he's putting together
a new development deal.
15
00:01:54,428 --> 00:01:57,556
Brand-new syndicate.
I think it's got very
good possibilities.
16
00:01:57,631 --> 00:02:00,259
Wesley, let me ask you
something. What do you
do for a living?
17
00:02:01,034 --> 00:02:03,935
Sir?
Oh, I know what it says
on our office door.
18
00:02:04,004 --> 00:02:05,938
Wesley Corman, DDS.
19
00:02:06,006 --> 00:02:07,974
But I see you so seldom
around this office,
20
00:02:08,041 --> 00:02:10,271
I don't know, I thought
perhaps you'd taken up
some other profession.
21
00:02:10,344 --> 00:02:11,402
(CHUCKLES)
I know. I'm sorry.
22
00:02:11,478 --> 00:02:13,036
Which may not
be a bad idea,
23
00:02:13,113 --> 00:02:15,809
because as a dentist,
you're a total incompetent.
24
00:02:15,882 --> 00:02:17,713
For five years now,
you've been my son-in-law
25
00:02:17,784 --> 00:02:19,649
as well as
a junior associate
in my practice.
26
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,746
And in both of those
areas you've been
a crashing failure.
27
00:02:23,991 --> 00:02:27,017
The only reason I put
up with you is because
my daughter,
28
00:02:27,094 --> 00:02:29,289
misguided though
she was, loved you.
29
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:33,991
Well, now, happily,
that condition's
just about ended.
30
00:02:37,004 --> 00:02:38,062
What are you talking about?
31
00:02:38,138 --> 00:02:39,799
Don't look so surprised.
32
00:02:39,873 --> 00:02:42,842
I put Liddy in touch
with an excellent
divorce attorney.
33
00:02:42,909 --> 00:02:45,969
In just a matter of weeks now,
your relationship
will be terminated.
34
00:02:46,046 --> 00:02:49,675
Now, hold on a second.
We have our problems like
every other married couple,
35
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:52,514
but if divorce was ever
mentioned, I know she
wasn't serious.
36
00:02:52,586 --> 00:02:55,350
Serious? She's damn serious,
and so am I.
37
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:59,291
Wesley, you are
a compulsive gambler,
38
00:02:59,359 --> 00:03:01,520
but I have paid
your last gambling debt.
39
00:03:01,595 --> 00:03:04,359
Bailed you out
of your last tight spot.
40
00:03:04,431 --> 00:03:06,126
Let me show you something.
41
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:11,128
I have here $220,000
of your IOUs to me.
42
00:03:11,204 --> 00:03:15,163
Now, hold on. All I've
done is try to develop
outside interests,
43
00:03:15,242 --> 00:03:17,472
so Liddy and I aren't
so dependent upon you.
44
00:03:17,544 --> 00:03:18,772
Dependent on me?
45
00:03:18,845 --> 00:03:21,541
(LAUGHING)
One race horse, $20,000.
46
00:03:21,615 --> 00:03:25,073
Died of heart failure
second time out of the gate,
and he was uninsured.
47
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,118
That big land development
deal down in Ensenada,
$100,000 down the drain.
48
00:03:31,191 --> 00:03:35,127
And I have a whole list
of gambling debts
that I paid for you,
49
00:03:35,195 --> 00:03:37,163
from Las Vegas
to Atlantic City.
50
00:03:38,165 --> 00:03:40,429
Well, I intend to collect.
51
00:03:41,802 --> 00:03:43,394
Sir,
52
00:03:44,938 --> 00:03:46,929
I think you realize that...
53
00:03:48,942 --> 00:03:52,036
That I won't be able
to make it if you hold
me to those notes.
54
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:55,478
Wesley, you're amazing.
55
00:03:55,816 --> 00:03:58,808
You knew this was
coming about
for some time now.
56
00:03:58,885 --> 00:04:00,944
And yet, you couldn't
face it, could you?
57
00:04:02,389 --> 00:04:03,549
Well,
58
00:04:04,825 --> 00:04:08,056
no more, my friend.
No more.
59
00:04:10,364 --> 00:04:11,888
Wait a minute.
Aren't you forgetting?
60
00:04:11,965 --> 00:04:15,059
Six years ago,
I saved your daughter's life.
61
00:04:15,135 --> 00:04:16,830
This time,
that's not going to work.
62
00:04:16,903 --> 00:04:18,928
I'm going to give you
till the end of this month
63
00:04:19,005 --> 00:04:23,203
to take your practice,
such as it is,
and get out of here.

Good, good.
How are you?

No, I don't need
to borrow any more money.
72
00:05:17,264 --> 00:05:18,492
Yeah, sure.
As a matter of fact,
73
00:05:18,565 --> 00:05:20,328
I expect to pay you
back next week.
74
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,560
That'd be nice, Wesley.
75
00:05:21,635 --> 00:05:24,763
Yeah. The reason
I'm calling is
to ask you to change
76
00:05:24,838 --> 00:05:27,671
your 2:00 to 12:30.
Can you do that?
77
00:05:27,741 --> 00:05:29,902
Yeah. It's no problem.
Terrific.

No, you didn't.
Oh, I'm sorry. He did.

you and the other girls
can take an early lunch.

you get the goldmine,
sometimes you don't.

be the best thing.

I never did.
I couldn't, Lydia.
190
00:13:13,773 --> 00:13:15,741
You know how much
I've always loved you.
191
00:13:15,808 --> 00:13:17,833
No, I don't know that.
192
00:13:19,846 --> 00:13:21,677
Maybe if you had shown...
193
00:13:21,748 --> 00:13:24,308
I tried, Lydia.
I really did,
in my own way.

If it wasn't enough,
then so be it.
195

You know,
after what happened
to your first husband,
196
00:13:33,826 --> 00:13:34,986
when you needed help,
197
00:13:35,061 --> 00:13:37,188
I suppose I knew
I was just a crutch
to lean on.
198
00:13:37,263 --> 00:13:38,958
But now that
you're cured,
199
00:13:40,233 --> 00:13:42,463
I guess the reality
is I was a guy who
happened to be there.
200
00:13:42,535 --> 00:13:44,469
I just wasn't
the right guy.

find out sooner
or later, so...
204
00:14:02,655 --> 00:14:04,179
What? Another guy?
205
00:14:05,258 --> 00:14:06,486
Yes.

Lydia, I don't want
to know his name.
207

up enough to...
No.
208

No, after the divorce is
final, after I'm gone, fine.

into little pieces now.

a rough time these past

it any more difficult

to know that if
anything happens,

isn't what you
want him to be,

for you. I always will.

always chew on

me what you did,

on the left side.

smart of you,

Well, I can't
stand drilling.

00:31:50,589 --> 00:31:52,614
I mean, it's not
the drilling so much.
504
00:31:52,691 --> 00:31:56,627
I can't stand the sound.
Just thinking about it
makes me very ill.
505
00:31:56,695 --> 00:31:58,356
You ought to come
see me sometime.
506
00:31:58,430 --> 00:32:02,924
I use an ultrasonic drill.
Thing purrs like a kitten.
You won't feel a thing.
507
00:32:03,001 --> 00:32:06,027
Well, you know, now,
that's just what I need.
508
00:32:06,104 --> 00:32:07,662
One of those.
509
00:32:07,739 --> 00:32:11,368
Lieutenant, I'd prefer
that you didn't speak
to my wife right now.
510
00:32:11,443 --> 00:32:14,105
I'd like to break
the news to her
about Adam,

00:32:23,388 --> 00:32:24,878
That's good enough
for me, sir.
516
00:32:24,956 --> 00:32:26,116
I see.
517
00:32:26,191 --> 00:32:28,785
I'm just checking
for the record.
You understand.
518
00:32:30,295 --> 00:32:33,355
It's so sad, isn't it?
A young guy like Adam,
519
00:32:34,166 --> 00:32:36,134
dying so unexpectedly.
520
00:32:36,201 --> 00:32:39,398
You know, I had
a cousin once,
about the same age.
521
00:32:39,471 --> 00:32:41,530
He didn't smoke,
he didn't drink,
522
00:32:41,606 --> 00:32:43,597
worked out a couple
of times a week.
523
00:32:43,675 --> 00:32:45,643
Just walking along
the street.
524
00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:47,371
(SNAPPING FINGERS)
Just like that.
525
00:32:47,446 --> 00:32:49,414
Mmm. Heart attack?
526
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:52,075
No, he got run over
by a bakery truck.
527
00:32:53,051 --> 00:32:55,542
Well, I want to thank you
for the bagels and the coffee.
528
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:56,644
(LAUGHING)
529
00:32:56,721 --> 00:32:59,053
I got everything I need.
530
00:32:59,825 --> 00:33:01,690
Appreciate the time.
Hey, glad to be of help.
531
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,057
Let me show you out.
532
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:10,631
That was Lieutenant Columbo
from the police.
533
00:33:10,702 --> 00:33:11,760
What did he want?
534
00:33:11,837 --> 00:33:14,362
He wanted to know
if Adam was here
last night.
535
00:33:14,439 --> 00:33:16,464
How did he know?
Well, what did
you tell him?
536
00:33:16,541 --> 00:33:18,406
I told him I was sure
that he wasn't.
537
00:33:18,477 --> 00:33:20,411
Now, listen,
the only ones who know
what happened
538
00:33:20,479 --> 00:33:23,209
are you, me,
David and Lydia.
539
00:33:23,281 --> 00:33:27,308
As long as we stick
together, nobody will
suspect her of anything.
540
00:33:27,719 --> 00:33:29,311
Suspect her? Of what?
541
00:33:30,689 --> 00:33:32,122
What could they
possibly suspect
her of?
542
00:33:32,190 --> 00:33:33,487
Dad, don't worry.
543
00:33:33,558 --> 00:33:37,119
Whatever happens,
we're gonna stick by her.
It'll be all right.
544
00:33:37,195 --> 00:33:38,685
LYDIA: Wesley?
545
00:33:41,533 --> 00:33:43,000
Yes.
546
00:33:46,471 --> 00:33:48,439
Hi.
Darling.
547
00:33:50,375 --> 00:33:51,740
What have I done?
548
00:33:51,810 --> 00:33:52,970
It doesn't matter.
549
00:33:53,044 --> 00:33:54,671
It doesn't matter.
550
00:33:56,481 --> 00:33:57,846
I love you.
551
00:33:59,718 --> 00:34:00,912
HORACE: Wesley?
552
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,784
I want to
express my gratitude,
553
00:34:03,855 --> 00:34:06,289
and I'm sorry
that I misjudged you.
554
00:34:06,658 --> 00:34:09,024
I will always be
indebted to you.
555
00:34:10,228 --> 00:34:11,752
To both of you.
556
00:34:21,606 --> 00:34:23,506
MEDICAL EXAMINER:
Interesting, Lieutenant.
557
00:34:23,575 --> 00:34:25,372
This man's heart
did not attack him.
558
00:34:25,443 --> 00:34:26,501
What did?
559
00:34:26,578 --> 00:34:28,671
Medicine you take
to prevent heart attacks.
560
00:34:28,747 --> 00:34:30,874
Come again, Doctor.
Digitalis.
561
00:34:30,949 --> 00:34:34,112
Are you saying that he had
a bad heart, and he took
too much of that stuff?
562
00:34:34,186 --> 00:34:35,847
There was nothing
wrong with his heart.
563
00:34:35,921 --> 00:34:37,252
There was nothing
wrong with his heart?
564
00:34:37,322 --> 00:34:38,448
Nope.
565
00:34:38,523 --> 00:34:40,218
But heart medicine
killed him?
566
00:34:40,292 --> 00:34:41,623
Cause of death.
567
00:34:41,693 --> 00:34:46,062
Ventricular arrhythmia
induced by a massive
overdose of digitalis.
568
00:34:46,131 --> 00:34:48,361
The normal dose is
around one milligram.
569
00:34:48,433 --> 00:34:50,924
We found a hell
of a lot more than that
in his body.
570
00:34:51,002 --> 00:34:53,027
About twice
what it would take
to kill him.
571
00:34:53,104 --> 00:34:56,073
A milligram?
How much is
a milligram?
572
00:34:56,141 --> 00:34:57,733
A couple of
grains of salt.
573
00:34:57,809 --> 00:35:01,609
Are you saying all it
took to kill this man
was the equivalent
574
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,374
of a dozen or so
grains of salt?
575
00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:06,747
That's close enough.
576
00:35:06,818 --> 00:35:08,183
How long did it take?
577
00:35:08,253 --> 00:35:09,720
I mean, to kill him?
Quick.
578
00:35:09,788 --> 00:35:11,779
A minute, maybe two.
579
00:35:11,856 --> 00:35:13,050
Hmm.
580
00:35:13,992 --> 00:35:15,482
Any marks on his body?
581
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,754
Fifty-seven.
582
00:35:16,828 --> 00:35:18,227
Fifty-seven!
583
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:21,421
Minor mutilations
and dilapidations,
584
00:35:21,499 --> 00:35:25,993
lesions, lacerations,
abrasions, incisions,
contusions.
585
00:35:26,071 --> 00:35:28,801
The man made action movies.
He did his own stunts.
586
00:35:28,873 --> 00:35:30,932
But here,
let me show you.
587
00:35:31,009 --> 00:35:32,874
The only new wound
we found
588
00:35:32,944 --> 00:35:36,607
was a gash
inside the mouth
on the right cheek.
589
00:35:39,451 --> 00:35:41,112
Here, take a look.
590
00:35:42,153 --> 00:35:44,417
Any idea what caused that?
591
00:35:44,489 --> 00:35:46,514
Pre-death convulsions,
maybe.
592
00:35:46,591 --> 00:35:47,990
Convulsions?
593
00:35:48,727 --> 00:35:50,854
Doc, can I make
a copy of this report?
594
00:35:50,929 --> 00:35:52,419
Help yourself.
595
00:35:54,799 --> 00:35:56,994
Oh, one more
thing, Doctor.
596
00:35:57,068 --> 00:36:00,902
That little white speck
that we found
on the corner of his mouth
597
00:36:00,972 --> 00:36:05,033
was about the size
of a grain of salt.
Was that digitalis?
598
00:36:05,110 --> 00:36:06,134
No.
599
00:36:07,512 --> 00:36:09,002
That was salt.
600
00:36:09,114 --> 00:36:10,206
Salt?
601
00:36:10,282 --> 00:36:12,045
Regular salt?
Yeah.
602
00:36:12,117 --> 00:36:14,677
You know, that stuff
you put on food.
603
00:36:14,753 --> 00:36:16,345
But it says here
his stomach was empty.
604
00:36:16,421 --> 00:36:18,013
He didn't eat
since breakfast.
605
00:36:18,089 --> 00:36:21,115
That's the last time
he ate. He had
606
00:36:21,826 --> 00:36:24,488
.07 alcohol
in his blood.
607
00:36:25,063 --> 00:36:26,826
He had a drink
before he died?
608
00:36:26,898 --> 00:36:28,559
That's not all he had.
609
00:36:30,335 --> 00:36:33,099
Does that mean
what I think it means?
610
00:36:35,507 --> 00:36:37,532
You mean, he was...
611
00:36:37,609 --> 00:36:40,077
Can you think
of a better way to go?

at the office.
615

Well, actually, nothing.

May I ask what
kind of business?

00:37:09,774 --> 00:37:11,435
Well, it's really
rather personal, sir.

If I could see her,
it'd just take a minute.

No, I'm sorry.
Mrs. Corman is not
feeling very well.
621

She's very upset
over Adam's death.
622

Uh-huh.

it's absolutely
necessary.

one question.

just ask her that,
and then I leave.

you want to know?

if Mr. Evans dropped
by last night.

Come on, Lieutenant,
I already answered that.
635
00:38:07,832 --> 00:38:08,958
I told you
he wasn't here.

Well, not quite, sir.
637
00:38:10,168 --> 00:38:13,899

"Not that you know of,"
because you weren't here.

have told me.

I don't have to ask her.

Why don't you ask her?
Do it privately. You do it.

what she says.

an answer. I don't
want to upset anybody.

Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.

Lieutenant,
Adam Evans was not here.

No. She said no.

that your daughter
spoke to Mr. Evans
five times yesterday.

You don't have
to answer.

When we found him,
he had a grain of salt
here on his lip,
679
00:40:03,615 --> 00:40:05,742
and there was alcohol
in his stomach.
680
00:40:05,817 --> 00:40:06,977
And the only drink
I can think of
681
00:40:07,051 --> 00:40:09,019
that has those
two ingredients
is a margarita.

he have it, ma'am?
683
00:40:12,957 --> 00:40:14,015
In there.

00:40:20,965 --> 00:40:23,525
Did you make
the margarita, ma'am,
or did he?

00:40:23,601 --> 00:40:25,159
I did.
I see.
686
00:40:25,236 --> 00:40:27,363
He said that I made
the best margaritas
in the world.
687
00:40:27,438 --> 00:40:31,067
Yes, ma'am.
And this was
the tequila?

00:40:31,843 --> 00:40:32,901
Yes.
689
00:40:32,977 --> 00:40:35,377
Ma'am, was the bottle
full when you opened it?

Yes.
691
00:40:36,581 --> 00:40:38,242
This is the blender?
Yes.

00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,780
And what did you drink
the margaritas out of,
ma'am?
693

Over there.
The glass.

Oh, there's only
one glass.
695
00:40:53,131 --> 00:40:54,996
Did you share
the drink, ma'am?
696
00:40:55,066 --> 00:40:56,556
No. I can't drink.
697
00:40:56,634 --> 00:41:00,695
I see. So there was only
one glass, and this was
it, and it was his?
698

LYDIA: Yes.
699
00:41:01,906 --> 00:41:05,467
I'd like to take
these down to the lab
and have them examine them.

an objection.

Oh, I'm afraid I'd have
to get a court order, sir.
703

really believe

to find poison
in there, do you?
705
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:17,144
I certainly hope not, sir.
706
00:41:18,022 --> 00:41:20,081
Ma'am,
your husband mentioned
707
00:41:20,158 --> 00:41:21,455
that you have
a heart condition.
708
00:41:21,526 --> 00:41:23,926

any medication for it?

disturbed you,

After Mr. Evans
had his drink,
720
00:42:04,836 --> 00:42:06,929

was he still here?
721
00:42:08,606 --> 00:42:10,870
Just a few minutes,
and then he was gone.

00:42:20,752 --> 00:42:22,151

Okay.
So you pulled out
your handkerchief,
726
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,158
and it was full
of blue blotches?
727
00:42:37,235 --> 00:42:38,862
Yeah, all full
of blue blotches.
728
00:42:38,936 --> 00:42:41,962

people there.
It was embarrassing.

check with your wife.

some questions?

interrupting
your game.

the night before last.
878
00:49:12,997 --> 00:49:14,555
He was here.
He was here?
879
00:49:14,632 --> 00:49:16,395
Yeah.
And what time
did he get here?
880
00:49:16,467 --> 00:49:18,594
I don't know.
What time did
Wesley get here?
881
00:49:18,669 --> 00:49:21,263
Well, by the time
I got here, he was
already complaining
882
00:49:21,338 --> 00:49:23,033
that he was down
for $2,000.
883
00:49:23,107 --> 00:49:26,167
Yeah, I got here at 8:30,
and he was already here
when I got here.

about right.
885

this gentleman here.
Is he somebody, too?

you bet. You bet.

this man from?

00:49:48,065 --> 00:49:51,660
He was in the Easter
Day Parade there.
He played Rumpelstiltskin.
893
00:49:51,735 --> 00:49:53,726
No, no, no.
He took it
to new dramatic heights.
894
00:49:53,804 --> 00:49:54,828
He was marvelous.
On TV. On...
895
00:49:54,905 --> 00:49:57,373
No, it was I Love Lucy.
That was his greatest hit.

the neighbor?

No, the neighbor was
a stouter fella.

You know, Lieutenant,
do you think you maybe could
get on with the questions?

We'd kind of like
to finish our game
if that would be okay.

in saying that, what,

speed it up, Chief?

to dance with the devil

was that, sir?

The phone call
from Lydia.

wife called?

hysterical. She...
928
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:17,314
She was yelling,
"Help me!

00:51:17,388 --> 00:51:19,185
"Heart attack!
Please help!"
930
00:51:19,256 --> 00:51:21,224

And what was
she saying?

"Help me."
Very agitated.

About a heart attack?
933
00:51:25,329 --> 00:51:26,887

And then what happened?
934
00:51:26,964 --> 00:51:28,056
You were on
the phone, sir?
935
00:51:28,132 --> 00:51:29,861
Yeah, I was trying
to calm her down,
936
00:51:29,934 --> 00:51:33,335
and I said, "Who is this?"
And she said, "Lydia Corman."
937
00:51:33,404 --> 00:51:35,998
And that's when
Wesley jumped up
and grabbed the phone.
938
00:51:36,073 --> 00:51:38,098
Dr. Corman
grabbed the phone
939
00:51:38,175 --> 00:51:41,008
when he heard it was
his wife that was
on the phone?
940
00:51:41,078 --> 00:51:42,909
Right.
But she didn't
ask for him.
941
00:51:42,980 --> 00:51:44,572
She just said her name?
942
00:51:44,648 --> 00:51:46,775
VALENTINE: That's right.
Mmm-hmm.
943
00:51:46,917 --> 00:51:49,442
And what did Dr. Corman
say when he got
on the phone?
944
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,580
He said, "Lydia, what's wrong?
What happened?"
945
00:51:52,656 --> 00:51:54,851
That's it?
Yeah, he shouted her
name a couple of times,
946
00:51:54,925 --> 00:51:57,018
but I think she'd
already gotten off
the phone by then.
947
00:51:57,094 --> 00:51:58,186
And then he left?
948
00:51:58,262 --> 00:51:59,991
Yes.

He's Wes' brother-in-law.

Oh, Lydia's brother
was here?
952
00:52:05,636 --> 00:52:08,196
Yeah. He saw the look
on Wes' face, and,
953
00:52:08,272 --> 00:52:11,139
well, he knew
that Lydia was having
trouble again.
954
00:52:11,208 --> 00:52:13,768
Was she in trouble often?
What do you mean by that?

made a film

of months ago,

in the evening.

tell us what this is

Lieutenant Columbo.

What about him?
967

First of all, he knows
the body was moved.

But that's not
the worst of it.

He found poison
in Adam's glass
and the blender,
970
00:52:59,256 --> 00:53:01,087
but not the bottle.
971
00:53:01,158 --> 00:53:03,422

was digitalis.

Digitalis.
974
00:53:14,571 --> 00:53:16,539
Now, what I'm worried
about is what happens
975
00:53:16,607 --> 00:53:19,167
when he finds out
what happened
seven years ago.
976
00:53:19,243 --> 00:53:22,371
And he will.
It's only
a matter of time.
977
00:53:25,349 --> 00:53:28,113
Now, I don't know
how the poison got
in the glass,
978
00:53:28,185 --> 00:53:31,279
but you can bet that
Columbo thinks that
Lydia put it in there.

I mean,
how else would it
have gotten in?
980

I think the best
thing to do
981
00:53:42,666 --> 00:53:45,134
is to put her
where no one
can find her,

last time.

she was sick.

in that glass.

He should talk to you
'cause he never wins.
1020
00:55:46,924 --> 00:55:48,414
He had a bar.
He lost it.
1021
00:55:48,492 --> 00:55:50,983
His wife left him.
It's terrible.
1022
00:55:51,061 --> 00:55:54,087
Tell you the truth,
Lieutenant, I don't have much
sympathy for guys like that.
1023
00:55:54,164 --> 00:55:56,792
Right, sir.
May I ask
you something?
1024
00:55:57,801 --> 00:55:59,234
Your wife, sir,
1025
00:55:59,303 --> 00:56:02,795
made five calls to the victim
on the afternoon of his death.
1026
00:56:03,874 --> 00:56:06,172
Do you know what
those calls were about?
1027
00:56:06,243 --> 00:56:07,403
It's funny you should ask.
1028
00:56:07,478 --> 00:56:09,469
David and I were talking
about that with
my father-in-law
1029
00:56:09,546 --> 00:56:11,036
just before you called.
1030
00:56:11,114 --> 00:56:13,082
Really?
Yeah.
1031
00:56:13,150 --> 00:56:16,347
The calls were about
a restaurant in Cannes.
1032
00:56:16,420 --> 00:56:17,819
Five calls?
1033
00:56:17,888 --> 00:56:22,985
Yeah. You know, she forgot
the name of the place.
She had to call him back.
1034
00:56:23,060 --> 00:56:25,494
They had
a mutual friend somewhere,
1035
00:56:25,562 --> 00:56:27,723
could he pick her up
some perfume from Paris,
1036
00:56:27,798 --> 00:56:28,958
you know,
that kind of thing.
1037
00:56:29,032 --> 00:56:30,590
I see.
1038
00:56:30,667 --> 00:56:33,761
Gentlemen, I'm going
to say something
to both of you.
1039
00:56:33,837 --> 00:56:35,236
I don't want you
to take offense.
1040
00:56:35,305 --> 00:56:38,035
It's not going to be
easy for me to say.
1041
00:56:38,942 --> 00:56:41,376
You two have been
less than honest
with me.
1042
00:56:41,445 --> 00:56:42,935
I don't know
what you mean.
1043
00:56:43,013 --> 00:56:45,447
I was at
John Valentine's tonight,
1044
00:56:45,516 --> 00:56:48,246
and I spoke
to the poker players.
1045
00:56:48,318 --> 00:56:50,218
And I know
that your wife called,
1046
00:56:50,287 --> 00:56:52,152
and I know
that she was hysterical.
1047
00:56:52,222 --> 00:56:54,349
Something about
a heart attack.
1048
00:56:54,424 --> 00:56:56,892
And I know you both
ran home to help her.
1049
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,155
How did you know the game
was at John Valentine's?
1050
00:56:59,229 --> 00:57:03,290
From your answering service.
You left word where
you could be reached.
1051
00:57:03,367 --> 00:57:06,302
Why did you conceal
that information from me?
1052
00:57:09,706 --> 00:57:11,697
Tell him the truth,
Wesley?
1053
00:57:11,775 --> 00:57:13,470
Got no other choice.
1054
00:57:16,547 --> 00:57:19,846
We moved the body, Lieutenant.
David and I moved the body.
1055
00:57:19,917 --> 00:57:22,147
Right?
Yes, we did. We did it
to protect Lydia.
1056
00:57:22,219 --> 00:57:25,655
I mean, no, I don't mean
that there was something
that she'd done then that...
1057
00:57:25,722 --> 00:57:27,747
David, maybe
I better explain.
1058
00:57:29,593 --> 00:57:33,120
Lieutenant, seven years ago,
my wife's first husband
1059
00:57:33,196 --> 00:57:36,427
dropped dead
in a Mexican hotel room
on their wedding night.
1060
00:57:37,367 --> 00:57:40,097
They were in bed.
They were making love,
1061
00:57:40,771 --> 00:57:42,830
and just like that,
he was gone.
1062
00:57:42,906 --> 00:57:44,339
Heart attack.
1063
00:57:44,408 --> 00:57:45,966
Lydia tried to save him.
1064
00:57:46,043 --> 00:57:49,137
She gave him
some of her medicine
which, as we both know,
1065
00:57:49,212 --> 00:57:53,148
can kill somebody
if they don't have the same
heart condition that she has.
1066
00:57:53,216 --> 00:57:54,376
Oh.
1067
00:57:54,451 --> 00:57:57,682
Maybe you can understand
why she's taken Adam's
death so hard.
1068
00:57:57,754 --> 00:57:59,722
I would do anything
to protect her
1069
00:57:59,790 --> 00:58:02,588
from the kind
of torture that
she went through before.
1070
00:58:02,659 --> 00:58:05,594
So that's why
you moved the body,
1071
00:58:05,662 --> 00:58:10,690
because you didn't want
any connection between
your wife and the victim?
1072
00:58:11,134 --> 00:58:13,466
Yes. To tell
you the truth,
1073
00:58:13,537 --> 00:58:16,973
if it happened
all over again, I'd do
the exact same thing,
1074
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,201
and I think
you would, too.
1075
00:58:20,210 --> 00:58:21,609
Absolutely.
1076
00:58:22,779 --> 00:58:25,179
Well, I want
to thank you
for your candor.
1077
00:58:25,248 --> 00:58:30,015
You know, up until tonight,
this whole case was
a total mishmash.
1078
00:58:30,087 --> 00:58:33,147
But now that you said
what you just said,
1079
00:58:34,958 --> 00:58:37,222
things are beginning
to clear up.
1080
00:58:37,294 --> 00:58:38,693
Thank you very much.
1081
00:58:38,762 --> 00:58:40,059
Not at all.
1082
00:58:40,130 --> 00:58:41,620
Thank you.
1083
00:58:47,504 --> 00:58:50,132
"Beginning to clear up."
What did he mean?
1084
00:58:51,808 --> 00:58:53,275
Hard to say.
1085
00:59:00,584 --> 00:59:02,074

1086
00:59:05,956 --> 00:59:08,390
Mrs. Corman? Ma'am?
1087
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:11,486
Yes?
1088

I don't understand.
I don't understand
about the poison.
1091

Well, what about
it, ma'am?
1092
00:59:24,307 --> 00:59:28,209
Well, Wesley told me
that you found poison
in the margarita glass.
1093
00:59:28,278 --> 00:59:29,677
That's true.
1094
00:59:30,347 --> 00:59:33,043
But, Lieutenant,
all I did was
make a margarita.
1095
00:59:33,116 --> 00:59:35,414
I don't know anything
about any poison.
1096
00:59:35,485 --> 00:59:39,683
Well, ma'am,
there are two things
that we can't get around.
1097
00:59:41,158 --> 00:59:45,458
He died from digitalis,
and there was digitalis
in the glass.
1098
00:59:46,430 --> 00:59:48,489
Actually,
there are three.
1099
00:59:50,267 --> 00:59:52,394
Can we go
to the pool house?
1100
00:59:57,974 --> 01:00:00,909
Mr. Evans did
not die up
on Mulholland Drive.
1101
01:00:00,977 --> 01:00:03,411
He was dead
when the car went
over the cliff.
1102
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,243
He died here
in the house,
1103
01:00:06,183 --> 01:00:08,651
probably right there
on that couch.
1104
01:00:11,321 --> 01:00:13,289
And if you're wondering
how I know, ma'am,
1105
01:00:13,356 --> 01:00:15,415
it was all
in the autopsy report
1106
01:00:16,860 --> 01:00:19,488
that you and Mr. Evans
were making love
1107
01:00:20,764 --> 01:00:22,732
shortly before he died.
1108
01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:24,790
And under those
circumstances,
1109
01:00:24,868 --> 01:00:27,894
not many women would
call their husbands
for help.
1110
01:00:28,572 --> 01:00:30,403
They would call 911,

01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:33,407
let the paramedics
clean things up,
1112
01:00:33,910 --> 01:00:35,775
then call their husbands.
1113
01:00:36,246 --> 01:00:38,612
Well, that's who
I called. I called 911.
1114

You called 911?
Are you sure?
1115

that happened that night,

01:04:37,487 --> 01:04:38,818
Right.
1185
01:04:38,888 --> 01:04:40,822
No, I'm leaving
right now.
1186
01:04:40,890 --> 01:04:43,518
I'll see you
out there at the top
of the first race.
1187

No, I'm leaving! Right.
1188
01:04:46,496 --> 01:04:48,930
I'll see you then.
Okay. Bye-bye.
1189
01:04:48,999 --> 01:04:50,193
Going to the track, huh?
1190
01:04:50,266 --> 01:04:51,597
Oh, yeah,
big race today.
1191
01:04:51,668 --> 01:04:52,999
Oh!
1192
01:04:53,069 --> 01:04:55,560
Hey, you want
a good horse?
A horse?
1193
01:04:55,638 --> 01:04:56,900
Yeah, a horse to bet on.
1194
01:04:56,973 --> 01:04:59,066
To bet on?
What's his name?
1195
01:04:59,676 --> 01:05:00,802
Pinocchio.
1196
01:05:00,877 --> 01:05:02,504
Pinocchio?
Is he gonna win?
1197
01:05:02,579 --> 01:05:03,876
Guaranteed.
1198
01:05:04,581 --> 01:05:06,344
Guaranteed?
No kidding.
1199
01:05:06,416 --> 01:05:08,111
The six horse,
fourth race.
1200
01:05:08,184 --> 01:05:09,242
You got a tip?
1201
01:05:09,319 --> 01:05:10,377
I got a tip.
1202
01:05:10,453 --> 01:05:14,822
You got a tip. Okay,
baby, count me in.
1203
01:05:15,425 --> 01:05:18,121
Yes, sir.
This is my lucky day.
1204
01:05:18,828 --> 01:05:21,763
Oh, sir,
are you in a hurry?
1205
01:05:21,831 --> 01:05:23,731
'Cause I can get
my business done quick.
1206
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,098
I'd appreciate it.
I want to be there
for the first race.
1207
01:05:26,169 --> 01:05:27,966
You got it, sir.
1208
01:05:29,706 --> 01:05:31,571
This Pinocchio,
he's a boy horse?
1209
01:05:31,641 --> 01:05:33,302
Oh, this
Pinocchio's a girl.
1210
01:05:33,376 --> 01:05:35,401
Oh, a girl horse.
Mmm-hmm.
1211
01:05:35,478 --> 01:05:36,809
How's your
luck running?
1212
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,905
Lieutenant, I'd appreciate it.
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
1213
01:05:38,982 --> 01:05:40,813
I understand, sir.
You got it.
1214
01:05:40,884 --> 01:05:44,945
You've got my money.
That's why I was worried
how your luck was running.
1215
01:05:45,021 --> 01:05:48,081
Oh, here's what
I was looking for.
1216
01:05:48,158 --> 01:05:49,216
You want me
to validate that?
1217
01:05:49,292 --> 01:05:50,816
Oh, this is not mine, sir.
1218
01:05:50,894 --> 01:05:52,361
No, that's from
the downstairs garage.
1219
01:05:52,429 --> 01:05:55,159
No, but you see
the date? It's
three days ago.
1220
01:05:55,231 --> 01:05:57,426
This was the day
Mr. Evans died.
1221
01:05:57,500 --> 01:05:59,491
This was
his parking ticket.
1222
01:06:00,036 --> 01:06:01,060
Well, how do you
know it's his?
1223
01:06:01,137 --> 01:06:04,698
Well, it matches
the stub that we found
on his windshield.
1224
01:06:05,375 --> 01:06:07,639
Oh. What about it?
1225
01:06:09,079 --> 01:06:13,072
Sir, I didn't mean
to bet the 10. I was
thinking 2, maybe 5.
1226
01:06:13,416 --> 01:06:15,179
What do you think?
1227
01:06:15,251 --> 01:06:18,516
Oh, I think you
can go the 5.
What about the ticket?
1228
01:06:19,222 --> 01:06:22,589
Well, it shows
that he parked the car
down there at 12:20.
1229
01:06:22,659 --> 01:06:26,060
And, what bothers
me, sir, is...
1230
01:06:26,129 --> 01:06:28,893
You said
that he canceled
his appointment.
1231
01:06:29,499 --> 01:06:31,364
Oh, he did.
He did?
1232
01:06:31,434 --> 01:06:34,130
It's a big building,
Lieutenant. Doctors,
lawyers, accountants.
1233
01:06:34,204 --> 01:06:35,967
He could've been here
and seen anybody.
1234
01:06:36,039 --> 01:06:38,564
Oh, so he canceled you,
1235
01:06:39,442 --> 01:06:41,467
and something more
important came up.
1236
01:06:41,544 --> 01:06:42,568
Most likely.
1237
01:06:42,645 --> 01:06:45,739
Do you know
of any other ailment
that he had?
1238
01:06:45,815 --> 01:06:48,750
I'm thinking
if he saw another doctor,
I might check.
1239
01:06:48,818 --> 01:06:51,343
Lieutenant, please,
I have no idea
why he was here.
1240
01:06:51,421 --> 01:06:54,049
All right.
Oh, what's this?
1241
01:06:56,326 --> 01:06:57,350
It's a crown.
1242
01:06:57,427 --> 01:06:58,689
A crown?
1243
01:06:59,329 --> 01:07:00,853
What's it made out of?
1244
01:07:00,930 --> 01:07:03,023
A porcelain compound.
1245
01:07:03,366 --> 01:07:05,231
Porcelain?
Mmm-hmm.
1246
01:07:05,301 --> 01:07:07,531
Like in a tea cup
or a toilet bowl?
1247

(CHUCKLING)
1248
01:07:08,738 --> 01:07:10,330
I don't know.
I don't keep up
with that stuff.
1249
01:07:10,406 --> 01:07:12,374
I never was
any good at chemistry.
1250
01:07:12,442 --> 01:07:15,206
I put some glue on
and pop them in.
That's about it.
1251
01:07:15,278 --> 01:07:16,745
It looks just
like a tooth.
1252
01:07:16,813 --> 01:07:19,213
If you'll excuse me,
I gotta go. I gotta be
there in 30 minutes.
1253
01:07:19,282 --> 01:07:21,750
I understand.
Good luck, Doc.
Bye-bye.

Oh, sir!
Yes?
1255
01:07:24,053 --> 01:07:26,453
Could I just have
my $5 change?
1256
01:07:27,190 --> 01:07:28,316
Oh.
1257
01:07:30,293 --> 01:07:32,921
I hope your luck keeps
running good, sir.
1258
01:07:32,996 --> 01:07:35,362
You know, that has
a way of changing.
1259
01:07:36,199 --> 01:07:39,134
Not mine.
I'm on a roll.
I'll see you later.

Then it's back to Desert Folly

They're in the stretch.
English Pleasure clings on
to the lead.

Gray Wonder is right up
alongside him.

Now they're neck and neck

Gray Wonder, those two are
stride for stride.

I told you, that jockey
can't lose today.

Did you put the money
on him? I told you to.

I think those were
planted on
Mr. Evans' body.

Why would you say
a thing like that?
1313

I don't understand
how they got in his pocket.
1314
01:10:45,455 --> 01:10:46,922
Well, I thought
I explained it
to you, Lieutenant.
1315
01:10:46,989 --> 01:10:49,423
He must have
picked them up
at the house.
1316
01:10:49,492 --> 01:10:52,791
But what bothers me is
not a single match was used.
1317
01:10:52,862 --> 01:10:57,196
Now, whenever I borrow
a match, it's because
I want to light my cigar.
1318
01:10:57,266 --> 01:11:00,235
Why would a guy pick up
a book of matches,
1319
01:11:00,670 --> 01:11:02,638
and not use
a single match?
1320
01:11:04,941 --> 01:11:07,933
I imagine because
he wanted to use them later.

lighter in his pocket.

Lieutenant, it wasn't Adam's
first visit to the house.
1323
01:11:20,490 --> 01:11:23,482
He could have picked
those matches up at any time.
1324
01:11:23,559 --> 01:11:27,996
Well, I would buy that
if I found them
in his jacket pocket.

01:11:28,798 --> 01:11:31,699
But these were found
in his shirt pocket,
1326
01:11:32,502 --> 01:11:34,766
and if he was
anything like me,
1327
01:11:35,171 --> 01:11:37,401
he changed
his shirt every day.

that in Mr. Evans' car
at the crash site,

01:12:15,178 --> 01:12:17,612

01:12:36,332 --> 01:12:38,459
that he would
put the gear
into neutral.
1351
01:12:38,534 --> 01:12:40,001
I know what you mean.
1352
01:12:40,069 --> 01:12:42,765
COLUMBO: I wonder if that
could have been deliberate?
Just to make sure
1353
01:12:42,839 --> 01:12:45,706
that the police wouldn't
simply write it off
as a heart attack
1354
01:12:45,775 --> 01:12:47,709
and let it go at that.
1355
01:12:49,645 --> 01:12:50,634
MAN: Excuse me.
1356
01:12:53,883 --> 01:12:56,044
That guy's
a real pain in the butt.
1357
01:12:56,118 --> 01:12:59,349
Yeah, you got that right.
Let's get back to business.
1358
01:12:59,422 --> 01:13:00,821
What about
number one, here?
1359
01:13:00,890 --> 01:13:02,357
COLUMBO: Sir?
1360
01:13:04,026 --> 01:13:08,190
Sir, I didn't come here
because of my bet.
1361
01:13:08,831 --> 01:13:10,025
You didn't?
1362
01:13:10,099 --> 01:13:11,464
COLUMBO: No.
1363
01:13:11,534 --> 01:13:13,263
No, it was something else.
1364
01:13:15,771 --> 01:13:16,999
Come here.
1365
01:13:22,278 --> 01:13:24,439
Sir, I assume you know
what your wife
1366
01:13:24,514 --> 01:13:27,483
and Mr. Evans were doing
just before he died?
1367
01:13:28,851 --> 01:13:30,910
Yes, Lieutenant,
I do know.
1368
01:13:31,153 --> 01:13:34,020
You do know.
I thought you did.
1369
01:13:35,224 --> 01:13:37,749
But you wanted
to protect her anyway.
1370
01:13:37,994 --> 01:13:39,655
I still do.
1371
01:13:40,096 --> 01:13:42,223
You must love her
very much.
1372
01:13:44,166 --> 01:13:46,464
She's got my number,
Lieutenant.
1373
01:13:46,869 --> 01:13:50,430
Well, I've got some
very good news
to tell you about her.
1374
01:13:50,573 --> 01:13:53,974
I also have some
not-so-good news.
1375
01:13:55,645 --> 01:13:58,011
Could we go somewhere
where we could talk?
1376
01:13:58,881 --> 01:14:00,371
Absolutely.
1377
01:14:02,418 --> 01:14:05,581
COLUMBO: There are very
few husbands that would
do what you did.
1378
01:14:05,655 --> 01:14:06,917
You're very rare.
1379
01:14:06,989 --> 01:14:08,650
WESLEY: I really
had no choice.
1380
01:14:08,724 --> 01:14:10,749
COLUMBO: Why don't we
just stand at the bar?
Is that all right?
1381
01:14:10,826 --> 01:14:12,350
WESLEY: Fine with me.
1382
01:14:12,428 --> 01:14:13,588
Would you care
for a drink, sir?
1383
01:14:13,663 --> 01:14:16,757
Lieutenant, you said you had
good news about my wife.
I'd like to hear it.
1384
01:14:16,832 --> 01:14:18,629
Well, she's innocent.
1385
01:14:19,335 --> 01:14:20,359
She's what?
1386
01:14:20,436 --> 01:14:21,994
She didn't do it.
1387
01:14:22,071 --> 01:14:23,095
She didn't do it?
1388
01:14:23,172 --> 01:14:24,196
No, sir.
1389
01:14:24,273 --> 01:14:26,173
Well, that's terrific!
1390
01:14:27,510 --> 01:14:30,570
That's great news!
God, what a relief!
1391
01:14:30,646 --> 01:14:31,670
You're sure?
1392
01:14:31,747 --> 01:14:33,214
Absolutely.
1393
01:14:34,016 --> 01:14:35,779
Red.
RED: Yes, sir?
1394
01:14:35,851 --> 01:14:38,786
When you have a minute.
I'm gonna show you.
1395
01:14:42,191 --> 01:14:44,716
We know how much
margarita was
in the blender
1396
01:14:44,794 --> 01:14:46,989
because the residue
left a mark.
1397
01:14:47,063 --> 01:14:48,894
Would you
do me a favor, sir?
1398
01:14:48,965 --> 01:14:49,989
Yes, sir.
1399
01:14:50,066 --> 01:14:52,364
Would you fill that
with water right up
to that mark?
1400
01:14:52,435 --> 01:14:53,834
Just water, sir?
Just water.
1401
01:14:53,903 --> 01:14:55,097
(RED CHUCKLES)
1402
01:14:55,171 --> 01:14:57,571
Believe it or not,
I used to have red hair.
1403
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,370
And this is
the actual glass
1404
01:15:00,443 --> 01:15:02,968
that Evans drank
the margarita from.
1405
01:15:03,379 --> 01:15:05,006
Thank you very much.
1406
01:15:06,716 --> 01:15:08,775
Now, let me show you
something, sir.
1407
01:15:08,851 --> 01:15:10,876
This is gonna put
your mind at rest.
1408
01:15:10,953 --> 01:15:14,047
Mr. Evans drinks
his first margarita.
1409
01:15:17,994 --> 01:15:20,428
Then he drank
his second margarita.
1410
01:15:24,967 --> 01:15:27,401
And we know
he had two margaritas.
1411
01:15:30,306 --> 01:15:31,364
How?
1412
01:15:31,607 --> 01:15:36,840
Because the glass
and the blender were empty
when we found them.
1413
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,340
Problem. How did he drink
the second margarita?
1414
01:15:42,785 --> 01:15:44,810
Answer. He couldn't have.
1415
01:15:46,122 --> 01:15:47,111
Why not?
1416
01:15:47,189 --> 01:15:50,056
Because he would have been
dead after the first one.
1417
01:15:50,126 --> 01:15:52,185
According to the coroner,
1418
01:15:52,862 --> 01:15:55,456
the amount of poison
in that glass,
1419
01:15:56,298 --> 01:15:58,630
he'd have been
dead in a minute.
1420
01:16:02,571 --> 01:16:03,970
So, what does this all mean?
1421
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,235
Well, it means that
there was no poison
in the blender
1422
01:16:06,308 --> 01:16:08,742
when he drank
the margarita. None.
1423
01:16:10,579 --> 01:16:13,571
The poison was put
in the glass
and the blender
1424
01:16:14,250 --> 01:16:15,945
after he was dead.
1425
01:16:16,886 --> 01:16:19,821
The poison in the margarita
didn't kill him.
1426
01:16:20,289 --> 01:16:22,917
Poison from someplace
else killed him.
1427
01:16:23,092 --> 01:16:24,423
Someplace else.
1428
01:16:24,493 --> 01:16:26,120
Someplace else.
1429
01:16:26,996 --> 01:16:29,362
So your wife,
she's in the clear.
1430
01:16:29,932 --> 01:16:31,126
That's good news, right?
1431
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,067
Wonderful news, Lieutenant.
Just wonderful.
1432
01:16:35,905 --> 01:16:37,702
So, what's
the not-so-good news?
1433
01:16:37,773 --> 01:16:40,606
Oh, well, that's a little
complicated to explain.
1434
01:16:40,676 --> 01:16:41,836
Maybe, I better
show it to you.
1435
01:16:41,911 --> 01:16:43,845
Just take a minute.
1436
01:16:47,883 --> 01:16:52,081
Sir, did you know that
the night your wife called
1437
01:16:52,154 --> 01:16:54,782
the poker game for help,
1438
01:16:54,857 --> 01:16:58,452
that she dialed 911,
but she didn't get 911?
1439
01:16:58,928 --> 01:17:00,919
She got
John Valentine's house.
1440
01:17:00,996 --> 01:17:02,827
Listen, if she got
John's house,
1441
01:17:02,898 --> 01:17:04,923
she must have dialed
John's number.
1442
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,298
COLUMBO: Well, she was
having an affair
with another man.
1443
01:17:07,369 --> 01:17:10,532
It's a big question
as to whether she was
gonna call her husband.
1444
01:17:10,606 --> 01:17:13,769
And she's sure
that she pressed
the 911 button.
1445
01:17:14,610 --> 01:17:16,737
Here's what
I think happened.
1446
01:17:18,514 --> 01:17:19,811
Press the speakerphone.
1447
01:17:19,882 --> 01:17:21,543
COLUMBO:
Now the 911 button.
1448
01:17:21,617 --> 01:17:22,675
(SPEED-DIALING)
1449
01:17:22,752 --> 01:17:23,878
(RINGING)
1450
01:17:23,953 --> 01:17:26,319
WOMAN ON PHONE:
John Valentine's residence.
1451
01:17:26,388 --> 01:17:28,083
That's what
I think happened.
1452
01:17:28,157 --> 01:17:31,490
I think somebody
reprogrammed
the 911 button,
1453
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,688
so that it would ring
at John Valentine's house.
1454
01:17:35,197 --> 01:17:37,665
Are you telling me
that you found
the 911 button
1455
01:17:37,733 --> 01:17:40,065
on that phone
programmed to ring
John's number?
1456
01:17:40,136 --> 01:17:42,434
No, sir. But whoever
changed it originally
1457
01:17:42,505 --> 01:17:44,302
was too clever
to leave it that way.
1458
01:17:44,373 --> 01:17:47,240
And it only takes
a second to reprogram it.
1459
01:17:48,444 --> 01:17:49,638
Excellent work,
Lieutenant.
1460
01:17:49,712 --> 01:17:50,736
Thank you, sir.
1461
01:17:50,813 --> 01:17:52,610
Excellent work.
1462
01:17:53,015 --> 01:17:56,951
My goodness,
you've really spent
some time on this.
1463
01:17:57,386 --> 01:17:58,512
Yes, sir.
1464
01:17:58,587 --> 01:18:01,488
Interesting theory.
Should I call my lawyer?
1465
01:18:02,825 --> 01:18:04,918
Well, that's
up to you, sir.
1466
01:18:05,027 --> 01:18:06,016
(CHUCKLING)
1467
01:18:06,095 --> 01:18:07,585
There's one thing
that puzzles me.
1468
01:18:09,131 --> 01:18:11,065
Why don't you arrest me?
1469
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,031
That's a good question.
1470
01:18:13,102 --> 01:18:15,093
That is a good question.
1471
01:18:16,305 --> 01:18:19,240
Red, a scotch
for the Lieutenant,
1472
01:18:19,308 --> 01:18:21,037
and I'd like
a glass of milk, please.
1473
01:18:21,110 --> 01:18:22,441
Yes, sir.
1474
01:18:23,112 --> 01:18:24,943
It's my lucky drink.
1475
01:18:25,681 --> 01:18:28,013
Lieutenant, I assume
that when you said
1476
01:18:28,083 --> 01:18:30,074
you had bad news
for my wife,
1477
01:18:30,686 --> 01:18:33,154
that you meant that
her husband not only
murdered her lover,
1478
01:18:33,222 --> 01:18:36,248
but was attempting
to frame her for the crime.
1479
01:18:36,826 --> 01:18:38,851
That is true, sir.
1480
01:18:38,961 --> 01:18:42,761
I also assume
that you've spoken
to my in-laws,
1481
01:18:43,165 --> 01:18:45,759
and that they told you
I was a leach.
1482
01:18:45,835 --> 01:18:49,862
That I lived off their money,
that I manipulated my wife,
1483
01:18:49,939 --> 01:18:52,100
and they wanted
to kick me out.
1484
01:18:52,174 --> 01:18:53,766
Yes, sir, I did.
1485
01:18:55,044 --> 01:18:57,137
You found
a terrific motive.
1486
01:18:58,214 --> 01:19:01,377
My wife ends up in prison
or an asylum,
1487
01:19:01,917 --> 01:19:03,646
I look like
a devoted husband,
1488
01:19:03,719 --> 01:19:06,745
and my father-in-law
would do anything for me.
1489
01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:09,217
It sounds right.
1490
01:19:11,694 --> 01:19:14,322
You think that
I murdered Adam Evans.
1491
01:19:14,396 --> 01:19:15,761
I do, sir.
1492
01:19:19,335 --> 01:19:22,600
Tell me,
how did I do that?
1493
01:19:23,939 --> 01:19:25,634
I don't know, sir.
1494
01:19:26,141 --> 01:19:27,699
You don't know.
1495
01:19:29,678 --> 01:19:31,839
That's a bit
of a problem,
isn't it?
1496
01:19:31,914 --> 01:19:33,313
It is.
1497
01:19:35,985 --> 01:19:37,179
Thank you, Red.
1498
01:19:37,253 --> 01:19:41,280
Well, it's fortunate
I'm so good-natured,
Lieutenant.
1499
01:19:42,024 --> 01:19:44,356
Somebody else
might take offense.
1500
01:19:46,528 --> 01:19:48,519
Tell you what
I'm gonna do.
1501
01:19:48,597 --> 01:19:51,657
I'm gonna go out there
and root for our horse.
1502
01:19:52,167 --> 01:19:55,933
Now, you're welcome
to join me,
1503
01:19:59,375 --> 01:20:02,242
or you can stay here
and try to figure it out.
1504
01:20:03,045 --> 01:20:05,172
I think
I'll stay here, sir.
1505
01:20:06,181 --> 01:20:09,548
I thought you would.
I'll see you later,
Lieutenant.
1506
01:20:10,152 --> 01:20:12,814
ANNOUNCER: (ON PA)
And one of the outsiders
in here,
1507
01:20:12,888 --> 01:20:16,187
in fact, a big outsider
at 25-to-1, is Pinocchio.
1508
01:20:20,329 --> 01:20:22,320
If you don't come to see me,
1509
01:20:22,398 --> 01:20:25,731
you're going to have troubles.
That's the way it is.
1510
01:20:25,901 --> 01:20:28,062
So, what's the problem?
1511
01:20:28,137 --> 01:20:30,162
It's this tooth here.
It's killing me.
1512
01:20:30,239 --> 01:20:31,763
I think it's a cavity.
1513
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,967
I'll do
the diagnosing. Open.
1514
01:20:35,344 --> 01:20:36,606
(EXCLAIMING)
1515
01:20:36,679 --> 01:20:38,306
That's beautiful.
1516
01:20:38,948 --> 01:20:40,313
(YELLING)
1517
01:20:41,050 --> 01:20:44,508
What was that?
You got a big problem
under that filling.
1518
01:20:44,586 --> 01:20:45,985
Gotta give you a new one.
1519
01:20:46,055 --> 01:20:47,044
Today?
1520
01:20:47,122 --> 01:20:48,316
Today.
1521
01:20:48,390 --> 01:20:50,324
I was hoping
that we could do it
another day.
1522
01:20:50,392 --> 01:20:51,381
No.
1523
01:20:52,895 --> 01:20:54,419
I only want
some information.
1524
01:20:54,496 --> 01:20:56,487
Oh! Information.
1525
01:20:56,565 --> 01:20:58,624
The man's tooth is
on the verge of abscess,
1526
01:20:58,701 --> 01:21:00,134
and all he wants
is information.
1527
01:21:00,202 --> 01:21:02,966
I got a theory that is
kicking around in my head,
1528
01:21:03,038 --> 01:21:04,528
and I want to
talk to you about it.
1529
01:21:04,606 --> 01:21:05,800
Let me ask you something.
1530
01:21:05,874 --> 01:21:08,308
Are things so bad
downtown that you can't
afford a new shirt?
1531
01:21:08,377 --> 01:21:09,844
What's the matter
with this shirt?
1532
01:21:09,912 --> 01:21:13,643
It's got all these
blue splotches on it.
It looks terrible.
1533
01:21:13,716 --> 01:21:16,480
Oh, that.
Laundry bluing.
1534
01:21:16,552 --> 01:21:17,951
You know what that is?
No.
1535
01:21:18,020 --> 01:21:19,749
You're better off
than I am.
1536
01:21:19,822 --> 01:21:22,985
Laundry bluing.
I still don't know
what I did wrong.
1537
01:21:23,058 --> 01:21:27,495
I put it in the laundry,
and everything came
out with blue spots.
1538
01:21:27,563 --> 01:21:31,192
Underwear, shirts,
my handkerchiefs.
1539
01:21:31,266 --> 01:21:33,860
And they say that
the blue is not gonna
come out.
1540
01:21:33,936 --> 01:21:35,062
Open.
1541
01:21:40,476 --> 01:21:42,273
Hey, Doc, take it easy,
will you?
1542
01:21:42,344 --> 01:21:43,868
You think I enjoy this?
1543
01:21:43,946 --> 01:21:46,346
That's the trouble.
Nobody loves the dentist.
1544
01:21:46,415 --> 01:21:48,349
You got any idea
how that makes a guy feel?
1545

Try being
a homicide detective.
1546
01:21:50,419 --> 01:21:53,252
Well, at least
your wife and dog love you.
1547
01:21:53,589 --> 01:21:57,047
Last time I tried
to clean my wife's teeth,
she bit me.
1548
01:21:58,394 --> 01:21:59,520
Open.
1549
01:22:02,264 --> 01:22:03,629
Come on.
1550
01:22:03,932 --> 01:22:04,956
Ah.

(GROANS)
1552
01:22:09,104 --> 01:22:13,131
So, while you can still talk,
what's the information?
1553
01:22:13,208 --> 01:22:16,200
A guy goes to the dentist,
say 12:30.
1554
01:22:17,379 --> 01:22:19,472
Now it's 10:00 at night,
1555
01:22:19,548 --> 01:22:24,076
and he drops dead
from a lethal dose
of quick-acting poison.
1556
01:22:24,820 --> 01:22:28,256
I think the dentist did it,
but I don't know how.
1557
01:22:29,058 --> 01:22:31,583
Boy, it's not bad enough
we gotta be dentists.
1558
01:22:31,660 --> 01:22:33,525
Now we gotta be
murderers, too.
1559
01:22:33,595 --> 01:22:36,860
So, how would you do it?
Theoretically.
1560
01:22:37,699 --> 01:22:39,257
Theoretically?
Yeah.
1561
01:22:40,736 --> 01:22:44,866
I don't have any idea.
Nah. You want to find out
something like that,
1562
01:22:45,607 --> 01:22:48,474
you gotta talk
to a better dentist than me.
1563
01:22:49,078 --> 01:22:50,204
Open.
1564
01:22:53,048 --> 01:22:55,243
(WHIRRING)

01:22:59,388 --> 01:23:00,377

1566
01:23:00,456 --> 01:23:01,980
HORACE:
Of course I believe it.
1567
01:23:02,057 --> 01:23:04,025
A man like
Lieutenant Columbo
calls me,
1568
01:23:04,093 --> 01:23:07,585
tells me my daughter is
no longer a suspect
in a murder. I believe it.
1569
01:23:07,663 --> 01:23:09,153
No, you believe
that Wesley did it?
1570
01:23:09,231 --> 01:23:12,894
Well, the Lieutenant's
sure of it. He just doesn't
know how.
1571
01:23:13,335 --> 01:23:15,803
HORACE: I suspect
that Wesley was a lot
more clever
1572
01:23:15,871 --> 01:23:17,065
than any of us
gave him credit for.
1573
01:23:17,139 --> 01:23:18,265

1574
01:23:18,340 --> 01:23:19,671
He fooled all of us.
1575
01:23:19,741 --> 01:23:21,538
But now
he's been found out.
1576
01:23:21,610 --> 01:23:22,770
Found out?
1577
01:23:22,845 --> 01:23:23,903
That's right.
1578
01:23:24,480 --> 01:23:25,913
The usual, Lieutenant?
1579
01:23:25,981 --> 01:23:29,542
No. I don't know
what I want,
but I don't want the usual.
1580
01:23:29,618 --> 01:23:31,586
Don't feel like
eating, huh?
No.
1581
01:23:31,653 --> 01:23:33,484
I can understand that.
1582
01:23:33,555 --> 01:23:35,022
Neither do I.
1583
01:23:35,090 --> 01:23:37,115
I've had this head cold
for the last three days,
1584
01:23:37,192 --> 01:23:38,420
and it's killing me.
1585
01:23:38,494 --> 01:23:39,518
You got a cold?
1586
01:23:39,595 --> 01:23:40,892
No, I was at the dentist.
1587
01:23:40,963 --> 01:23:43,363
And the Novocaine
is wearing off.
1588
01:23:43,432 --> 01:23:46,629
I think I bit my cheek.
I can feel something there.
1589
01:23:46,702 --> 01:23:49,364
And the tooth
is starting to hurt,
1590

feel like eating,

Lieutenant, Lieutenant.

That was
the happiest phone call
I've ever received.
1599

I can't tell you
how grateful I am.

And so is my son.

I can't thank you
enough, Lieutenant.

I am so relieved
about Lydia, I...
1603
01:24:13,595 --> 01:24:16,462
Well, the best way
that you could thank me
is if you could help me...
1604
01:24:16,532 --> 01:24:18,124
Excuse me, sir.
Is there something
wrong with your mouth?
1605
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,136
No, I was at the dentist,
and the Novocaine
is wearing off.
1606
01:24:22,838 --> 01:24:24,829
The best way
you could thank me is
1607
01:24:24,907 --> 01:24:26,875
if you could shed
some light
1608
01:24:26,942 --> 01:24:29,240
on how this could
have happened.
1609
01:24:29,645 --> 01:24:32,910
I know that Mr. Evans
was in your office building
1610
01:24:32,981 --> 01:24:37,145
at 12:30
on the day he died
from the parking stub.
1611
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,112
I know he had
an appointment
to fill his cavity,
1612
01:24:41,190 --> 01:24:43,818
and I don't care
what Wesley says,
1613
01:24:43,992 --> 01:24:48,861
I believe that Evans was
in Wesley's office
at lunch time,
1614
01:24:49,331 --> 01:24:51,196
and that's when
it happened.
1615
01:24:51,266 --> 01:24:54,258
If that's when
he was poisoned, then that's
when he would have died.
1616
01:24:54,336 --> 01:24:55,530
There's no way
around that.
1617
01:24:55,604 --> 01:24:57,401
Well, that's our problem.

a glass of water, please?

to act up on me now.

on your tooth,
there, Lieutenant.

something for that.

FINN: I tried everything.
1629
01:25:17,492 --> 01:25:20,757
I was in the market
the other day,
and I saw these things.
1630
01:25:20,829 --> 01:25:22,888
You know,
all different colors.
1631
01:25:22,965 --> 01:25:24,125
Look like candy.
1632
01:25:24,199 --> 01:25:25,530
Probably a marketing
gimmick, right?
1633
01:25:25,601 --> 01:25:27,262
No, no, that's no gimmick.
1634
01:25:27,336 --> 01:25:30,271
Each one of those colors,
they have a purpose.
1635
01:25:30,339 --> 01:25:32,534
See the beads here
in the capsule?
1636
01:25:32,608 --> 01:25:34,371
Well, the red ones,
they dissolve in one minute,
1637
01:25:34,443 --> 01:25:36,240
the yellows in 15,
1638
01:25:36,311 --> 01:25:38,871
the greens in an hour,
the blues in four hours,
1639
01:25:38,947 --> 01:25:40,710
and whites in eight hours,
and so on.
1640
01:25:40,782 --> 01:25:42,807
Well, you've seen
the commercial.
Twelve-hour cold pill.
1641
01:25:42,884 --> 01:25:44,215
Isn't that
something?
Hey, no kidding.
1642
01:25:44,286 --> 01:25:45,310
I didn't know that.
1643
01:25:45,387 --> 01:25:46,445
Yeah, they're
very common.
1644
01:25:46,521 --> 01:25:47,579
Yeah.
1645
01:25:47,656 --> 01:25:49,920
In fact, these pills here
that your dentist recommended,
1646
01:25:49,992 --> 01:25:51,857
they're the same thing.
1647
01:25:52,728 --> 01:25:54,559
That's how he did it.
1648
01:25:54,930 --> 01:25:56,295
HORACE: What's that?
1649
01:25:56,765 --> 01:25:58,255
He coated it.
1650
01:25:59,334 --> 01:26:03,031
He coated the digitalis
with a medical
time-release gel.
1651
01:26:03,105 --> 01:26:05,403
And inserted it
in a cavity.
1652
01:26:11,380 --> 01:26:13,712
Yeah, here are
Mr. Evans' X-rays.
1653
01:26:15,550 --> 01:26:18,348
And you stopped and picked up
the autopsy X-rays
from the coroner?
1654
01:26:18,420 --> 01:26:19,785
Yes, sir, I did.
1655

Well, let's have them,
and we'll find out.

01:26:30,666 --> 01:26:32,293
What's the matter?
1658
01:26:32,367 --> 01:26:34,426
Well, Evans was
coming in here
to have a cavity filled
1659
01:26:34,503 --> 01:26:36,437
on a lower left bicuspid.
1660
01:26:36,505 --> 01:26:39,804
But according
to the coroner's X-ray,
it was never touched.
1661
01:26:39,875 --> 01:26:41,536
Well, that's not possible.
1662
01:26:41,610 --> 01:26:43,601
Here, look for yourself.
1663
01:26:46,448 --> 01:26:49,542
Well, that's crazy.
I know that's how he did it.
1664
01:26:51,486 --> 01:26:53,954
Lower left bicuspid, huh?
1665
01:26:57,392 --> 01:26:58,984
Wait a second.
1666
01:26:59,628 --> 01:27:00,617
Gash.
1667
01:27:01,863 --> 01:27:03,854
Hold the phone, Doc. Gash.
1668
01:27:05,300 --> 01:27:07,461
Gash. Where did
I write that?
1669
01:27:08,470 --> 01:27:10,028
Here it is.
1670
01:27:10,105 --> 01:27:14,098

the cavity, Doc.

on this side of the mouth?

to wait, sir.

murdered Mr. Evans.

That's ridiculous.
1685
01:27:59,988 --> 01:28:02,821
You coated
the digitalis
with a medical gel,
1686
01:28:02,891 --> 01:28:04,449
something that
would dissolve
1687
01:28:04,526 --> 01:28:05,788
over a period
of several hours.
1688
01:28:05,861 --> 01:28:08,022
When it did,
the poison seeped out.
1689
01:28:08,096 --> 01:28:10,656
It was absorbed
through the gums
and into the system.
1690
01:28:10,732 --> 01:28:12,927
Lieutenant, it's
an absolutely lunatic theory.
1691
01:28:13,001 --> 01:28:17,199
I have to warn you, sir.
I've had Mr. Evans'
body exhumed.
1692
01:28:17,272 --> 01:28:20,070
We will find traces
of digitalis in his mouth.
1693
01:28:20,709 --> 01:28:23,041
And that, Dr. Corman,
will convict you.
1694
01:28:24,312 --> 01:28:25,609
HORACE: Lieutenant,
1695
01:28:26,681 --> 01:28:28,410
whenever you're ready.
1696
01:28:29,684 --> 01:28:30,742
Dad?
1697
01:28:43,932 --> 01:28:48,426
These are X-rays
taken in your office
last week, Dr. Corman,
1698
01:28:48,503 --> 01:28:50,061
of Adam Evans' teeth.
1699
01:28:50,138 --> 01:28:52,936
Do you think you
could show me where
the cavity is?
1700
01:28:53,008 --> 01:28:56,466
Yes, Lieutenant.
Lower left,
second-to-last molar.
1701
01:28:56,545 --> 01:28:57,705
You see that black
spot right there?
1702
01:28:57,779 --> 01:28:59,212
That's it.
Yes, sir.
1703
01:28:59,281 --> 01:29:01,806
Dr. Johnson,
would you hold these?
1704
01:29:01,883 --> 01:29:03,817
And as you have
so aptly described it,
Lieutenant,
1705
01:29:03,885 --> 01:29:06,046
that is still a cavity.
I haven't touched it,
1706
01:29:06,121 --> 01:29:07,452
and I assume
no one else has.
1707
01:29:07,522 --> 01:29:08,853
COLUMBO: You know
what the problem is?
1708
01:29:08,924 --> 01:29:10,357
I went to
my dentist yesterday,
1709
01:29:10,425 --> 01:29:12,859
and he gave me Novocaine,
and the first thing you know,
1710
01:29:12,928 --> 01:29:15,920
I bit the inside
of my cheek
without knowing it.
1711
01:29:15,997 --> 01:29:17,760
And you know
something else?
1712
01:29:18,433 --> 01:29:20,560
Adam Evans did
the same thing.
1713
01:29:21,336 --> 01:29:24,203
Nasty cut on the inside
of his cheek.
1714
01:29:24,940 --> 01:29:29,104
But the trouble is
it's on the other side,
away from the cavity.
1715
01:29:30,212 --> 01:29:32,146
You know
what that says to me?
1716
01:29:32,814 --> 01:29:33,872
No, I don't.
1717
01:29:33,949 --> 01:29:37,282
That says you put
the poison somewhere
else in his mouth.
1718
01:29:37,719 --> 01:29:39,584
May I have those
X-rays, Doctor?
1719
01:29:43,058 --> 01:29:47,154
Is that a crown,
Dr. Sherwin?
Excuse me.
1720
01:29:47,762 --> 01:29:51,528
Dr. Sherwin,
is that a crown?
1721
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:52,726
Yes, it is.
1722
01:29:52,801 --> 01:29:55,497
Is that
a porcelain crown?
That's correct.
1723
01:29:55,570 --> 01:29:57,367
Come on, Lieutenant,
give it up.
1724
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,566
Even if the poison
had been put
under the crown,
1725
01:29:59,641 --> 01:30:03,133
the body would have
absorbed it by now.
You wouldn't find a trace.
1726
01:30:03,211 --> 01:30:06,009
But I'm not looking
for traces of digitalis.
1727
01:30:06,548 --> 01:30:08,379
You know what
that is, Doc?
1728
01:30:09,951 --> 01:30:12,943
That's a chemistry set
I had as a kid.
1729
01:30:13,021 --> 01:30:15,649
I gave it
to my nephew
last Christmas.
1730
01:30:15,724 --> 01:30:18,090
I'll tell you, that kid,
he's a whiz at this.
1731
01:30:18,159 --> 01:30:20,024
Kind of takes
after me, actually.
1732
01:30:20,095 --> 01:30:23,428
I was a terrific
chemistry student
in high school.
1733
01:30:24,499 --> 01:30:26,126
Now, watch this.
1734
01:30:28,103 --> 01:30:30,037
You said it
yourself, Doc,
1735
01:30:30,472 --> 01:30:32,201
that you didn't know
a whole lot
about chemistry,
1736
01:30:32,274 --> 01:30:34,708
that you didn't keep
up with this stuff.
1737
01:30:34,776 --> 01:30:37,370
And that's where you
made your mistake.
1738
01:30:37,445 --> 01:30:40,812
Because last night,
I couldn't sleep.
1739
01:30:40,882 --> 01:30:43,874
I went over
to the nephew's house
and I got this,
1740
01:30:44,219 --> 01:30:47,484
and I was up
half the night,
playing around with it,
1741
01:30:47,956 --> 01:30:50,220
and I made
an interesting discovery.
1742
01:30:50,292 --> 01:30:54,388
Did you know
that just the tiniest
bit of digitalis
1743
01:30:55,163 --> 01:30:57,791
will turn
porcelain enamel blue
1744
01:30:58,433 --> 01:31:02,335
when catalyzed
by moisture heated
to body temperature?
1745
01:31:08,543 --> 01:31:10,602
No, I didn't.
You remember this?
1746
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:13,272
Porcelain crown?
1747
01:31:13,648 --> 01:31:16,515
I saw one like that
in your office
the other day.
1748
01:31:16,585 --> 01:31:19,315
And in this envelope here,
I have pure digitalis,
1749
01:31:19,387 --> 01:31:22,618
which Dr. Johnson was
kind enough to give me,
1750
01:31:22,691 --> 01:31:27,788
and I'm going to
sprinkle this digitalis
onto this porcelain crown.
1751
01:31:29,197 --> 01:31:31,597
Now we heat
some water.
Not much.
1752
01:31:37,272 --> 01:31:41,800
Now, I just want to get
this water to approximately
body temperature.
1753
01:31:44,512 --> 01:31:46,912
There, I think
that ought to do it.
1754
01:31:51,419 --> 01:31:53,683
Eyedropper. Not much.
1755
01:31:55,957 --> 01:31:57,447
Now watch carefully.
1756
01:32:08,003 --> 01:32:09,527
Do you see that?
1757
01:32:10,639 --> 01:32:11,970
COLUMBO: And you know
what, Doc?
1758
01:32:13,208 --> 01:32:16,644
When we pull
that porcelain crown
from the right side
1759
01:32:16,711 --> 01:32:18,338
of Adam Evans' mouth,
1760
01:32:19,648 --> 01:32:24,813
you can bet your eyetooth
that the underside of it
is gonna be stained blue.
1761
01:32:27,622 --> 01:32:31,456
You're through, Wesley.
It's a pity you were
so weak in chemistry.
1762
01:32:32,427 --> 01:32:35,624
Dr. Johnson, hand me
that extractor, please.
1763
01:32:42,671 --> 01:32:44,002
Thank you.
1764
01:32:47,676 --> 01:32:49,541
Forget it. Just forget it,
will you?
1765
01:32:51,446 --> 01:32:53,107
There's no need.
1766
01:32:53,748 --> 01:32:55,340
Just leave it be.
1767
01:33:00,789 --> 01:33:02,256
(SIGHS)
1768
01:33:08,830 --> 01:33:11,492
I couldn't believe
it when Daddy told me.
1769
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,366
You would have
let me go to prison.
1770
01:33:14,869 --> 01:33:16,097
Or insane.
1771
01:33:24,412 --> 01:33:26,744
What I did is no worse
1772
01:33:26,815 --> 01:33:29,613
than what you
and your father
had planned for me.
1773
01:33:35,957 --> 01:33:38,448
OFFICER:
All right, let's go.
1774
01:34:05,220 --> 01:34:08,018
Oh, man, are you bananas.
Let me see that thing.
1775
01:34:11,726 --> 01:34:15,389
Digitalis on porcelain.
That won't do a damn thing.
1776
01:34:16,965 --> 01:34:19,126
You know, the only
thing that's gonna
turn this crown blue
1777
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:22,294
is something like
common, ordinary
laundry bluing.
1778
01:34:23,571 --> 01:34:26,267
Kind of like
that stuff you got there
in your shirt.
1779
01:34:28,143 --> 01:34:29,974
Laundry bluing?
1780
01:34:36,684 --> 01:34:38,083
Is that a fact?
