forgot it, so she went

cheap stuff.

00:23:38,464 --> 00:23:40,432
While you're in there,
you can look at his
personal effects.

317
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,796
Hey, that box with
the jewelry, has that
been fingerprinted yet?

318
00:23:44,003 --> 00:23:45,868
EDDIE: I got it.
It's been printed
and tagged.

319
00:23:48,074 --> 00:23:49,837
COLUMBO: Eddie!
Where's Eddie? Eddie?

320
00:23:50,042 --> 00:23:52,374
More coffee, sir?
Flying in.

321
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,473
The victim was last seen
leaving the apartment at
2:00 this afternoon?

322
00:23:58,551 --> 00:23:59,813
That's what
the manager said.

323
00:24:00,486 --> 00:24:02,351
And he didn't get back
until 2:00 tonight?

324
00:24:02,655 --> 00:24:03,917
That's what
the manager said.

325
00:24:04,123 --> 00:24:05,886
Where's the manager?
Across the hall.

326
00:24:12,164 --> 00:24:14,291
It turned cold tonight.
What time?

327
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,033
I noticed it
around 10:00.

328
00:24:18,704 --> 00:24:20,001
That's the end of sleep
for me, I can see that.

329
00:24:20,072 --> 00:24:23,064
What time did Mr. Franco
leave the apartment today?
What?

330
00:24:23,142 --> 00:24:24,939
What time did Mr. Franco
leave the building?

331
00:24:25,444 --> 00:24:27,912
2:00. I already told
the detective...
How do you know?

332
00:24:29,215 --> 00:24:31,080
I was standing
out front.
How do you know the time?

333
00:24:31,150 --> 00:24:33,141
(IMPATIENTLY) I just
finished my lunch.

334
00:24:33,219 --> 00:24:35,744
Good. Was there
anybody else
in the apartment?

335
00:24:35,821 --> 00:24:37,448
When?
Anytime.

336
00:24:37,523 --> 00:24:38,649
The maid.

337
00:24:38,724 --> 00:24:40,453
What time
did she leave?
1:00.

338
00:24:40,526 --> 00:24:41,550
How do you know?

339
00:24:41,627 --> 00:24:44,323
She works in the morning.
When else is she gonna leave?

340
00:24:44,497 --> 00:24:46,397
Did he come home
for supper?
No.

341
00:24:46,465 --> 00:24:47,955
How do you know?

342
00:24:48,033 --> 00:24:49,227
His car is never there.

343
00:24:49,535 --> 00:24:51,025
He never comes home
for supper?

344
00:24:51,137 --> 00:24:53,298
Don't come home to eat.
He's a bachelor.

345
00:24:53,539 --> 00:24:55,939
Leaves in the afternoon,
gambles half the night away,

346
00:24:56,041 --> 00:24:57,906
comes home to sleep!

347
00:25:01,447 --> 00:25:03,039
(FAUCET OPENING)
(WATER FLOWING)

348
00:25:03,182 --> 00:25:04,171
Who's that?

349
00:25:04,683 --> 00:25:06,412
The lady who came
to see the deceased.

350
00:25:06,652 --> 00:25:08,347
She's the one who
was having the liaison.

351
00:25:08,821 --> 00:25:10,083
She's a knockout.

352
00:25:35,614 --> 00:25:38,310
Excuse me,
ma'am, my name is
Lieutenant Columbo.

353
00:25:38,984 --> 00:25:40,417
Has someone
spoken with you?

354
00:25:41,053 --> 00:25:44,045
There was a detective here,
but he got called away.

355
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:46,716
Well, let's see if I can
get you out of here.

356
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:55,960
What have you told
the other detective?

357
00:25:56,836 --> 00:25:58,235
Just that, uh,

358
00:25:58,537 --> 00:26:01,335
I made an arrangement
to meet Nick here at 2:00,

359
00:26:01,974 --> 00:26:03,942
and that
I forgot my key.

360
00:26:04,810 --> 00:26:06,437
Mr. Ruddick let me in,

361
00:26:06,979 --> 00:26:09,311
and we were both
in the corridor
when we heard the shots.

362
00:26:10,483 --> 00:26:12,075
And we ran...

363
00:26:12,918 --> 00:26:14,545
And the door...

364
00:26:16,422 --> 00:26:18,253
We opened the door,

365
00:26:19,525 --> 00:26:21,789
(STIFLING SOB)
And it was Nick,
on the floor.

366
00:26:23,562 --> 00:26:24,756
I see.

367
00:26:25,698 --> 00:26:26,790
Um...

368
00:26:26,866 --> 00:26:29,892
Ma'am, would you prefer
not having your name
released to the press?

369
00:26:30,503 --> 00:26:32,232
I hadn't thought
of that...

370
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,273
No, it wasn't a secret
about Nick and me.
There was nothing to hide.

371
00:26:37,343 --> 00:26:38,503
My friends
all knew about it.

372
00:26:38,577 --> 00:26:40,807
In fact, I had a party
at my home this evening

373
00:26:41,447 --> 00:26:42,539
and Nick was there.

374
00:26:42,781 --> 00:26:44,976
Is that
when you made plans
to meet here at 2:00?

375
00:26:45,518 --> 00:26:48,783
Yes. Yeah,
he had a poker game
and he couldn't stay.

376
00:26:48,854 --> 00:26:50,549
Um, that's how
he made his living.

377
00:26:50,623 --> 00:26:53,023
He didn't want to go,

378
00:26:54,627 --> 00:26:55,719
but he had to.

379
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:03,090
Take some of this, ma'am.
It'll warm you up.

380
00:27:03,402 --> 00:27:04,494
(SOFTLY) Thank you.

381
00:27:05,638 --> 00:27:09,096
Uh, if necessary, is there
a telephone number
where we can reach you?

382
00:27:10,910 --> 00:27:17,213
My secretary.
Area code 213,
555-5334.

383
00:27:18,784 --> 00:27:20,752
They obviously went
through his jewelry box.

384
00:27:20,819 --> 00:27:23,481
If I showed it to you,
could you tell
what was missing?

385
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:26,981
I think so.
I'm very familiar.

386
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:31,124
Listen,
why don't we do that
some other time?

387
00:27:31,297 --> 00:27:32,628
Let's get you
out of here.

388
00:27:33,933 --> 00:27:35,992
You've been
through enough.

389
00:27:36,335 --> 00:27:39,133
Well, that's very nice
of you, Lieutenant.
I appreciate that.

390
00:27:39,204 --> 00:27:40,671
Uh...

391
00:27:41,373 --> 00:27:43,534
You haven't touched
the coffee, ma'am.
Did you want it?

392
00:27:45,244 --> 00:27:46,905
(CHUCKLING)
Oh, I didn't realize...

393
00:27:47,313 --> 00:27:49,008
No, thank you.

394
00:27:49,281 --> 00:27:52,739
Uh, we could have one of
our men drive you home,
it's up to you.

395
00:27:53,752 --> 00:27:54,946
Thank you, I...

396
00:27:56,855 --> 00:27:58,186
I can manage.

397
00:28:26,352 --> 00:28:28,684
On my end, everything
went fine. Just perfect.

398
00:28:29,555 --> 00:28:30,988
And the police?
What about them?

399
00:28:31,423 --> 00:28:32,981
No problem.
Everything went just fine.

400
00:28:33,525 --> 00:28:35,823
One detective,
who was very considerate,

401
00:28:35,894 --> 00:28:37,521
asked for a telephone number
just in case.

402
00:28:37,596 --> 00:28:39,063
(DOG BARKING)

403
00:28:39,665 --> 00:28:40,654
Mmm.

404
00:28:40,966 --> 00:28:42,297
(BARKING CONTINUES)

405
00:28:45,170 --> 00:28:48,333
Wait a minute.
That's him.

406
00:28:49,775 --> 00:28:51,504
It's the detective. He...

407
00:28:52,978 --> 00:28:56,414
He's pouring
water for a dog.
A basset.

408
00:28:57,549 --> 00:28:58,675
What do you think
he wants?

409
00:29:00,219 --> 00:29:02,517
It's probably about
the missing jewelry.

410
00:29:02,888 --> 00:29:04,515
I'm sure it's nothing
to be concerned about.

411
00:29:05,357 --> 00:29:07,222
On the radio,
they said it was a robbery.

412
00:29:07,593 --> 00:29:09,458
I watched the 7:00 a.m.
News. Robbery.

413
00:29:10,229 --> 00:29:12,754
<i>Listen, I want to know</i>
<i>what the detective says.</i>

414
00:29:13,298 --> 00:29:14,424
<i>Will you call me later?</i>

415
00:29:14,533 --> 00:29:16,967
Um, go back to your place.
I'll call from a payphone.

416

(LINE CLICKS)
(DIAL TONE DRONING)

417
00:29:20,806 --> 00:29:23,070
Good morning, Lieutenant.
Forgive the way I look.

418
00:29:23,142 --> 00:29:25,042
I took a sedative,
and I just got up.

419
00:29:25,511 --> 00:29:26,705
You look just fine to me.

420
00:29:27,212 --> 00:29:28,270
You're an easy audience.

421
00:29:29,415 --> 00:29:31,246
Well, that's not the way
I see it, ma'am.

422
00:29:32,785 --> 00:29:34,446
You were very kind
to me last night.

423
00:29:35,187 --> 00:29:38,384
Well, I understand
what you're going
through, ma'am.

424
00:29:39,024 --> 00:29:40,286
It's been a nightmare.

425
00:29:41,727 --> 00:29:44,161
But the world doesn't
get me that easily.

426
00:29:44,463 --> 00:29:46,124
I'll make the funeral
arrangements. I'll do that.

427
00:29:46,198 --> 00:29:48,689
But I'm also gonna buy
a new pair of shoes,

428
00:29:49,768 --> 00:29:51,736
and I'm gonna have
my hair done,

429
00:29:52,104 --> 00:29:54,197
and by the end
of the day, I'm gonna
be spectacular.

430
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,937
Sounds good
to me, ma'am.

431
00:29:56,809 --> 00:29:58,276
May I ask you
a few questions?

432
00:29:58,777 --> 00:30:00,438
Do you mind if we go out
on the patio?

433
00:30:00,746 --> 00:30:02,270
No, not at all.

434
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:08,586
Ma'am, our procedure
in matters like this
is to, uh...

435
00:30:10,122 --> 00:30:11,282
Uh, verify...

436
00:30:11,457 --> 00:30:13,425
Ma'am, would you mind
if I sat in the shade?

437
00:30:14,193 --> 00:30:15,455
No, of course not.

438
00:30:15,694 --> 00:30:17,719
Some people, you know,
they can take the sun.
Not me.

439
00:30:17,796 --> 00:30:20,492
I start sweating,
it comes right out
through my shirt.

440
00:30:21,233 --> 00:30:22,700
But, mostly,
in the feet.

441
00:30:23,102 --> 00:30:27,630
I guess that's why
I have such soft feet.
Perspiration softens them up.

442
00:30:28,474 --> 00:30:30,237
Of course,
it's a little tough
on the nose.

443
00:30:31,043 --> 00:30:34,240
Now, my wife,
she likes the heat.
She's always cold.

444
00:30:34,646 --> 00:30:37,046
It takes that woman
40 minutes to get
in the pool.

445
00:30:37,516 --> 00:30:39,711
I'm exhausted
from swimming,
and she's still...

446
00:30:40,085 --> 00:30:41,643
She hasn't gotten
her knees wet yet.

447
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:42,880
(BOTH CHUCKLING)

448
00:30:42,988 --> 00:30:44,717
I guess it's a question
of natures.

449
00:30:46,325 --> 00:30:49,852
I have a warm nature,
and she has a cold nature.

450
00:30:50,395 --> 00:30:51,885
Or she has
a circulation problem.

451
00:30:53,198 --> 00:30:55,632
Ah, right, ma'am,
she probably does.
Can that be cured?

452
00:30:56,168 --> 00:30:57,294
There's not much
they can do about it.

453
00:30:57,402 --> 00:30:59,563
And I suppose you've seen
the best men in the field.

454
00:31:00,739 --> 00:31:02,400
As a matter of fact,
I have.

455
00:31:02,474 --> 00:31:04,408
How did you know
I had the problem?

456
00:31:04,543 --> 00:31:06,067
Oh, I didn't,
ma'am. I, uh...

457
00:31:06,145 --> 00:31:08,841
It was just that
last night I noticed you
didn't drink your coffee.

458
00:31:09,148 --> 00:31:11,514
You just used the cup
to keep your hands warm.

459
00:31:11,583 --> 00:31:13,073
And it reminded me
of my wife.

460
00:31:13,552 --> 00:31:16,715
Okay! All right,
enough chitchat.

461
00:31:17,456 --> 00:31:18,718
Better get down
to business.

462
00:31:19,625 --> 00:31:20,614
Uh...

463
00:31:21,193 --> 00:31:22,592
Oh, ma'am,
does this bother you?

464
00:31:23,128 --> 00:31:24,220
Not at all. I like it.

465
00:31:25,597 --> 00:31:26,791
Oh!

466
00:31:28,767 --> 00:31:31,292
That's good. Okay.
(LAUGHS)

467
00:31:32,337 --> 00:31:35,135
Uh, this report, ma'am,
this is, uh...

468
00:31:35,707 --> 00:31:38,972
This is for the Captain,
so it's gotta be right.

469
00:31:39,578 --> 00:31:40,977
He's one tough guy.

470
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:42,706
I'm sure he is.

471
00:31:43,148 --> 00:31:47,414
We found an empty Piaget
case, ma'am. Mr. Franco,
did he own a Piaget watch?

472
00:31:47,953 --> 00:31:49,113
Yes, he did.

473
00:31:49,188 --> 00:31:50,621
Expensive?
Very.

474
00:31:50,689 --> 00:31:53,886
Besides his Rolex,
can you think of
anything else of value?

475
00:31:54,893 --> 00:31:57,555
I don't know of anything else
that was worth anything.

476
00:31:58,130 --> 00:31:59,256
Uh, you're sure
of that, ma'am?

477
00:31:59,898 --> 00:32:01,058
Nothing comes to mind.

478
00:32:02,134 --> 00:32:06,298
Okay. All right. Uh...

479
00:32:07,306 --> 00:32:08,330
That does it!

480
00:32:08,874 --> 00:32:10,535
Finished?
Yeah. That's it.

481
00:32:11,944 --> 00:32:13,912
Can't think of
anything else.

482
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,238
Now, thank you for
the time, ma'am.

483
00:32:17,883 --> 00:32:21,250
Uh, ma'am? Excuse me,
do you have anything
for a headache?

484
00:32:22,187 --> 00:32:23,313
Well, I'm sure we do.

485
00:32:24,122 --> 00:32:26,613
Do you have aspirin?
Um... I don't know.

486
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:28,753
Well, I prefer
aspirin, ma'am.

487
00:32:28,827 --> 00:32:30,727
Those other brands,
they don't seem
to work for me.

488
00:32:30,863 --> 00:32:32,660
Well, I'm not sure
exactly what we have,

489
00:32:32,731 --> 00:32:35,097
but, uh, I'm sure
we must have something
in the house.

490
00:32:35,334 --> 00:32:37,302
Well, if you're not
sure what you have,
don't bother.

491
00:32:37,369 --> 00:32:39,030
I can pick
something up
at the drugstore.

492
00:32:39,104 --> 00:32:40,571
But thank you anyway.

493
00:32:40,873 --> 00:32:42,067
I'll see you out.

494
00:32:46,211 --> 00:32:48,543
I have to tell you, ma'am,
that you have a...

495
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:50,907
Oh, it's
a beautiful house.
Oh, thank you...

496
00:32:50,983 --> 00:32:53,383
And your foyer!
Well, I mean,
it's the kind of thing

497
00:32:53,452 --> 00:32:55,010
that I've only seen
in the movies.

498
00:32:55,087 --> 00:32:57,146
It's, uh...
It's really something.
(CHUCKLING)

499
00:32:58,824 --> 00:33:00,689
Nice sense of humor, ma'am.

500
00:33:02,394 --> 00:33:03,725
I like the cigar!

501
00:33:05,731 --> 00:33:07,722
Uh, if it'll make you
feel any better, ma'am,

502
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,324
all your guests thought
it was a lovely party.

503
00:33:10,402 --> 00:33:11,494
You spoke
to my guests?

504
00:33:11,570 --> 00:33:13,731
We have to verify
everyone's story.

505
00:33:13,805 --> 00:33:15,773
We got their names
from your secretary.

506
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:17,505
In fact, one lady said,

507
00:33:17,743 --> 00:33:20,940
talking about the food
and the music and the guests,

508
00:33:21,146 --> 00:33:22,943
except for your headache,

509
00:33:25,284 --> 00:33:26,876
it was the perfect evening.

510
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,109
That's nice to hear.

511
00:33:31,156 --> 00:33:32,521
Good day, ma'am.

512
00:33:33,692 --> 00:33:37,423
Well, you know, he talked
about his wife's circulation
more than anything else.

513
00:33:38,563 --> 00:33:40,963
And about the case,
all he wanted was
a description of the jewelry?

514
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,589
That's all he wanted.

515
00:33:42,968 --> 00:33:44,367
<i>So, how long</i>
<i>did he stay?</i>

516
00:33:45,604 --> 00:33:47,071
Mmm, about 15 minutes.

517
00:33:47,339 --> 00:33:48,397
So you think
we're all right?

518
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,240
As far as the case goes,
we're rock-solid.

519
00:33:52,277 --> 00:33:53,574
I'm sure he has
no suspicions.

520
00:33:54,579 --> 00:33:56,774
It's just that there's
something about him.

521
00:33:57,616 --> 00:33:59,311
I can't put
my finger on it.

522
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,652
I'm not always sure
what he's thinking.

523
00:34:07,059 --> 00:34:08,356
Does he want
to see you again?

524
00:34:08,827 --> 00:34:10,158
He didn't say.

525
00:34:10,729 --> 00:34:13,129
(CHUCKLES) I think
he kind of likes me.

526
00:34:16,568 --> 00:34:17,626
Okay.

527
00:34:17,769 --> 00:34:19,202
(LINE CLICKS)
(DIAL TONE DRONING)

528
00:34:51,870 --> 00:34:52,894
(GASPS)

529
00:34:53,705 --> 00:34:55,297
You startled me!

530
00:34:56,842 --> 00:34:58,833
(STUTTERING) How did
you know I was here?

531
00:34:59,111 --> 00:35:01,341
Well, I called
your secretary, ma'am,
she told me.

532
00:35:03,281 --> 00:35:04,976
(STAMMERING)
Oh, she did? I see.

533
00:35:05,350 --> 00:35:06,476
Oh, I hope
you don't mind.

534
00:35:06,551 --> 00:35:08,143
No. Why do you
think I'd mind?

535
00:35:08,220 --> 00:35:09,949
Oh, I thought you
sounded irritated.

536
00:35:10,055 --> 00:35:11,920
No! No. I don't mind
talking to you.

537
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:15,448
I do mind
being taken by surprise.
Yes, that annoys me.

538
00:35:16,094 --> 00:35:17,459
You should ask first.

539
00:35:18,296 --> 00:35:19,627
Now, how can I help you?

540
00:35:20,232 --> 00:35:23,395
Well, there, you see,
I do like that about you.
You're levelheaded.

541
00:35:24,002 --> 00:35:25,469
(CHUCKLING) I'm sorry.
I don't follow you.

542
00:35:25,537 --> 00:35:28,199
Well, other people,
when I show up
unexpectedly,

543
00:35:28,273 --> 00:35:29,900
right away,
they're all excited.

544
00:35:29,975 --> 00:35:34,742
"Oh, boy, good news!
He caught the killer.
The case is solved."

545
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,174
You understand
it's not so easy.

546
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:41,947
I'm not naive,
Lieutenant. I do appreciate
how difficult your job is.

547
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:45,319
Well, that's what I mean.
I wish there were
more people like you.

548
00:35:45,390 --> 00:35:48,848
I wouldn't feel such
pressure. I wouldn't
feel under such stress.

549
00:35:48,927 --> 00:35:51,794
I have to buy some shoes,
Lieutenant. Do you mind
if we walk and talk?

550
00:35:51,863 --> 00:35:52,887
No, not at all.

551
00:35:56,368 --> 00:35:57,733
What is it
that you want?

552
00:35:57,803 --> 00:36:00,772
Well, I'm making out
my report,

553
00:36:00,839 --> 00:36:03,330
and there's one point
in your story
I'd like to clear up.

554
00:36:03,975 --> 00:36:06,205
Now, you said that
Mr. Franco told you

555
00:36:06,278 --> 00:36:09,145
that he had
to leave your party to
go play poker, right?

556
00:36:09,514 --> 00:36:10,572
Right.

557
00:36:10,982 --> 00:36:14,748
Now, we checked with
the men that he usually
plays poker with,

558
00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:18,051
and they play every
Monday and Friday night,

559
00:36:18,123 --> 00:36:19,385
so there was
no game last night.

560
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:24,061
So I thought, well,
maybe you were confused
about what he said,

561
00:36:24,129 --> 00:36:25,255
you know,
the shock and all,

562
00:36:25,330 --> 00:36:29,266
and, uh, maybe you
wanted to change your
story on that point.

563
00:36:30,435 --> 00:36:32,835
Maybe it was some
other kind of game?

564
00:36:34,172 --> 00:36:36,538
(STUTTERS) You know,
maybe it was.

565
00:36:37,809 --> 00:36:39,936
I mean, yes, maybe he said
he was gonna play gin.

566
00:36:40,011 --> 00:36:41,308
I see.

567
00:36:41,379 --> 00:36:44,610
Well, there was
a gin game last night
among his friends,

568
00:36:45,784 --> 00:36:47,308
but he wasn't there.

569
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,188
Well, I'm not sure
what he said.

570
00:36:51,590 --> 00:36:53,717
I see. All right.

571
00:36:54,626 --> 00:36:57,527
But you were disappointed
when he told you he had
to leave the party.

572
00:36:57,963 --> 00:36:59,453
Yes, I was very
disappointed.

573
00:36:59,965 --> 00:37:01,455
I wanted him there
very much.

574
00:37:01,867 --> 00:37:03,960
You wanted him there
very much

575
00:37:04,035 --> 00:37:05,798
and he explained
why he had to leave,

576
00:37:05,871 --> 00:37:07,839
but you're not sure
what he said.

577
00:37:07,906 --> 00:37:09,999
You can see,
ma'am, where...
(CHUCKLES)

578
00:37:12,144 --> 00:37:14,408
That's just not
gonna look too good
on the report.

579
00:37:16,982 --> 00:37:18,950
You know what else
doesn't look very good?

580
00:37:19,484 --> 00:37:21,679
What?
Your tie.

581
00:37:22,154 --> 00:37:23,280
It doesn't look good.

582
00:37:23,555 --> 00:37:24,954
What's the matter
with it?
Mmm...

583
00:37:25,323 --> 00:37:28,087
Well, it's green,
goes with brown...
(CHUCKLING)

584
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,991
No. I'm gonna
buy you a new tie.

585
00:37:30,795 --> 00:37:34,094
No, this tie is for older men
and you're not old. Why do
you want to appear old?

586
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:37,495
What I should do
is buy you
a whole new suit,

587
00:37:37,669 --> 00:37:39,762
but I don't know you
well enough for that.

588
00:37:40,338 --> 00:37:41,771
Maybe someday.

589
00:37:43,241 --> 00:37:44,401
Already
you look better.

590
00:37:45,143 --> 00:37:48,840
Now, let's find you
a proper tie.

591
00:37:51,016 --> 00:37:52,847
Uh, you know,
ma'am...
Mmm-hmm?

592
00:37:53,251 --> 00:37:55,116
...maybe he did
say poker.

593
00:37:55,187 --> 00:37:57,052
Yes, maybe he did.

594
00:37:57,789 --> 00:38:01,054
Here! I think this one
has some life.

595
00:38:03,028 --> 00:38:06,657
You know, they're kind of
tough down at headquarters
about accepting bribes.

596
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:09,224
Well, I understand,
but this is strictly
<i>entre nous.</i>

597
00:38:09,334 --> 00:38:13,293
Right. So, uh,
what I'll do,
ma'am, is, uh...

598
00:38:13,972 --> 00:38:15,633
I'm gonna
put down poker.
Hmm.

599
00:38:17,542 --> 00:38:18,839
I'm taking this tie.

600
00:38:19,144 --> 00:38:20,873
Put down
whatever you think best.

601
00:38:20,946 --> 00:38:24,507
Anything else?
Uh, no,
not at all. Um...

602
00:38:26,551 --> 00:38:27,984
Could I have
my old tie back?

603
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,787
I'm sorry.

604
00:38:29,955 --> 00:38:30,944
(CHUCKLING)

605
00:38:31,122 --> 00:38:32,783
Okay, so, uh...

606
00:38:33,425 --> 00:38:34,858
I want to thank you
for the gift,

607
00:38:34,926 --> 00:38:36,917
and I want to thank you
for your help.

608
00:38:37,529 --> 00:38:39,724
Don't mention it.
I enjoyed doing it.

609
00:38:41,666 --> 00:38:42,655
Uh...

610
00:38:43,335 --> 00:38:44,597
I would never
do that to you.

611
00:38:45,737 --> 00:38:46,795
What?

612
00:38:47,472 --> 00:38:49,531
I would never lie to you.

613
00:38:49,608 --> 00:38:51,269
If I wasn't gonna
play poker,

614
00:38:51,876 --> 00:38:53,138
I would tell you
the truth.

615
00:39:03,188 --> 00:39:04,416
I think we have to meet.

616
00:39:05,123 --> 00:39:06,317
Are you sure
we should do that?

617
00:39:06,791 --> 00:39:08,224
It's important now.

618
00:39:09,561 --> 00:39:10,585
Anything happen?

619
00:39:11,162 --> 00:39:12,652
Nothing I can't manage.

620
00:39:15,867 --> 00:39:17,061
What time?

621
00:39:17,469 --> 00:39:18,595
Half-hour.

622
00:39:19,938 --> 00:39:21,030
I love you.

623
00:39:22,073 --> 00:39:23,301
Love you.

624
00:39:48,266 --> 00:39:49,324
Are we all right?

625
00:39:49,934 --> 00:39:50,992
Yes, we're alone.

626
00:39:53,171 --> 00:39:55,105
If someone comes...
I'll close this door.

627
00:39:55,473 --> 00:39:56,565
Right.

628
00:39:59,044 --> 00:40:00,807
I want to be
absolutely certain

629
00:40:01,913 --> 00:40:04,313
that there's no way
to connect you to Nick.

630
00:40:05,650 --> 00:40:07,174
How many times
do we have to
go through this?

631
00:40:08,486 --> 00:40:09,885
You've never been
to his apartment?

632
00:40:10,555 --> 00:40:11,613
Never.

633
00:40:12,223 --> 00:40:13,952
Have you ever been
on this side
of the mountain?

634
00:40:14,426 --> 00:40:15,757
No. He was very
careful with me.

635
00:40:16,461 --> 00:40:17,985
He was probably
afraid you'd find out.

636
00:40:18,530 --> 00:40:20,964
Have you ever run into
anybody who knew him?

637
00:40:21,266 --> 00:40:22,324
No.

638
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,392
No bartender, or waiter
who could remember
seeing you together?

for 10 days. We never went
to the same place twice.

I speak to no one.

(SIGHS)

643
00:40:43,555 --> 00:40:45,113
I think you should
go back to Rome.

644
00:40:49,060 --> 00:40:50,493
Is that
why we're meeting?

645
00:40:51,062 --> 00:40:52,290
I really think
you should.

646
00:40:53,898 --> 00:40:55,456
But, why?
What's happened?

647
00:40:58,103 --> 00:41:00,901
The detective.
His name is Columbo.
He's, uh...

648
00:41:01,172 --> 00:41:04,039
He's asking more questions
than he should.

649
00:41:05,009 --> 00:41:06,067
Like what?

650
00:41:07,379 --> 00:41:10,177
Well, he suspects Nick
lied to me last night

651
00:41:10,248 --> 00:41:12,773
when he said he was
leaving the party
to play poker.

652
00:41:13,618 --> 00:41:16,610
Well, he was lying,
we know that.

653
00:41:17,989 --> 00:41:19,422
But so does
Mr. Columbo.

654
00:41:20,992 --> 00:41:22,016
And so what
if he knows?

655
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:25,552
He said it in
such a strange way.
He said, um,

656
00:41:26,464 --> 00:41:29,433
"I would never do
that to you. I would
never lie to you.

657
00:41:30,402 --> 00:41:32,370
"If I wasn't
gonna play poker,

658
00:41:33,671 --> 00:41:35,400
"I'd tell you
the truth."

659

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

660
00:41:37,742 --> 00:41:39,437
Well, it sounds
like he likes you.

661
00:41:40,111 --> 00:41:41,373
I mean, isn't that
what you thought?

662
00:41:43,248 --> 00:41:44,681
Well, I did
buy him a tie.

663
00:41:45,383 --> 00:41:46,611
(LAUGHING)

664
00:41:46,684 --> 00:41:48,743
You didn't.
I did.

665
00:41:50,622 --> 00:41:51,646
Did he like it?

666
00:41:52,590 --> 00:41:54,922
He liked
that I bought it.
Men like that.

667
00:41:56,194 --> 00:41:58,287
I did it
on impulse. Uh...

668
00:41:58,496 --> 00:42:01,488
I feel, as a precaution,
I should be very sweet
to him.

669
00:42:03,301 --> 00:42:05,792
If a beautiful woman
plays her cards right,

670
00:42:06,671 --> 00:42:08,502
she'll usually get
what she wants.

671
00:42:12,744 --> 00:42:14,575
I don't want
to leave you.

672
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,538
Not yet.

673
00:42:19,451 --> 00:42:20,713
Can't we wait
on Rome?

(SIGHS)

675
00:42:23,655 --> 00:42:26,055
It's just that
I'm not sure
what he's thinking.

676
00:42:32,697 --> 00:42:34,164
All right, we'll wait.

Are you through
with this pile?

680
00:43:11,169 --> 00:43:12,636
What pile?
This pile.

681

Yeah.

No big clue
there, huh?

No.

685
00:43:23,882 --> 00:43:25,474
What about this pile,
the bills?

686
00:43:26,851 --> 00:43:28,614
What bills?
The bills!

687
00:43:29,821 --> 00:43:33,154
The laundry bill,
the drugstore bill,
the auto-repair bill,

688
00:43:34,225 --> 00:43:37,524
the golf-club bill,
the rent bill,

I would do.

on that peanut butter.
You gonna put jam on?

had it that way?

But I'm supposed to be
investigating her.
Maybe she broke the law.

So what's the problem?

00:46:27,965 --> 00:46:30,229
Why can't you enjoy yourself
while you're investigating?

the right thing to do?

if she did anything,

making a play for me?

As a matter of fact,
I called you
at the funeral home,

you'd just left.

765

you were here.

Uh... Got
something for you.

767

the photograph.

768

You're something. Thanks.

You gotta help me.
Okay. Yes.

I spoke
to the manager,

00:47:59,423 --> 00:48:03,723
and he tells me
that Mr. Franco was an
obsessively neat man. True?

774
00:48:04,595 --> 00:48:06,426
Yes.
He also tells me

775
00:48:06,497 --> 00:48:09,193
that the maid
that cleaned yesterday
is a conscientious worker.

776
00:48:09,267 --> 00:48:10,564
Is that accurate?

777
00:48:10,635 --> 00:48:13,195
Well, his apartment
was always very clean
and orderly...

778
00:48:14,739 --> 00:48:16,730
Well, now,
here's the problem.

779
00:48:16,808 --> 00:48:18,469
I looked at
Mr. Franco's
refrigerator.

780
00:48:18,743 --> 00:48:20,040
The small one
in the bar?

781
00:48:20,378 --> 00:48:22,039
Mmm.
It was spotless.

782
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,307
The maid said
she cleaned it
that morning.

783
00:48:24,382 --> 00:48:26,612
I believe her,
it was gleaming white.

784
00:48:27,919 --> 00:48:29,147
The only problem was,

785
00:48:30,188 --> 00:48:32,349
the drip pan was
one-third full of water.

786
00:48:33,524 --> 00:48:35,424
So, naturally,
you ask yourself,

787
00:48:35,493 --> 00:48:37,518
"Why didn't she clean
the drip pan?"

788
00:48:37,728 --> 00:48:41,289
Unless... Wait a minute,
wait a minute. Unless,

789
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,058
sometime after
she cleaned it,

790
00:48:44,135 --> 00:48:47,366
for some reason
the electricity went off
and the ice melted.

791
00:48:48,706 --> 00:48:50,799
That would account
for the water.
What do you think?

792
00:48:52,176 --> 00:48:54,110
(LAUGHING) I haven't
the foggiest idea.

793
00:48:54,178 --> 00:48:56,203
Now, the electricity
worked fine

794
00:48:56,948 --> 00:49:00,179
when you arrived
with the apartment manager
at 2:00 at night.

795
00:49:00,585 --> 00:49:01,847
You like it, don't you?

796
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:04,244
Oh, the tie?
Mmm-hmm.

797
00:49:04,322 --> 00:49:05,687
Ah, it's
a little strange,

798
00:49:05,756 --> 00:49:07,747
but, uh, I wanted
to please you.

799
00:49:08,926 --> 00:49:13,158
So, that means that, uh,
the electricity went off

800
00:49:13,231 --> 00:49:18,100
sometime between the time
that she cleaned it that day
and 2:00 at night.

801
00:49:18,169 --> 00:49:20,603
Do you mind
if I adjust this
just a tiny bit?

802
00:49:20,671 --> 00:49:22,298
Not at all. Go ahead.

803
00:49:24,342 --> 00:49:27,505
But who turned off
the electricity?

804
00:49:28,446 --> 00:49:30,880
Did they want
the fridge off?
The TV off?

805
00:49:31,449 --> 00:49:32,882
The lights
not to work?

806
00:49:32,950 --> 00:49:34,611
What do you think?

807
00:49:35,052 --> 00:49:36,781
You want me
to be honest?

808
00:49:37,455 --> 00:49:40,117
I'm more interested
in that hat.

809
00:49:41,626 --> 00:49:43,924
Oh. Right.

810
00:49:47,431 --> 00:49:50,798
You know, as a cop,
my instincts would lean
toward having the lights off,

811
00:49:50,868 --> 00:49:53,359
but who's to say?
There's so many
appliances.

812
00:49:54,138 --> 00:49:56,163
Wait a minute,
what am I talking about?

813
00:49:56,974 --> 00:49:58,703
According to the
apartment manager,

814
00:49:59,310 --> 00:50:00,709
there was no one
in the apartment

815
00:50:00,778 --> 00:50:03,110
till Mr. Franco came home
at 2:00 at night.

816
00:50:03,714 --> 00:50:05,045
No one was there?

817
00:50:05,383 --> 00:50:06,543
Well, that's
what he said.

818
00:50:06,951 --> 00:50:09,886
Well, if no one was there,
then no one could've...

819
00:50:09,954 --> 00:50:11,922
The manager could've
been wrong.

820
00:50:11,989 --> 00:50:14,981
Right. Wrong, or right.

821
00:50:15,626 --> 00:50:16,650
Right.

822
00:50:17,261 --> 00:50:19,627
I got a feeling we're
going in circles here.

823
00:50:24,635 --> 00:50:27,365
You know, why don't you
just say that the maid
overlooked it?

824
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,763
It could happen, you know.

825
00:50:34,578 --> 00:50:36,102
Right, it could.

826
00:50:37,214 --> 00:50:39,045
I'm gonna just say
she missed it.

827
00:50:40,117 --> 00:50:41,846
That's what I'm gonna
tell the boss.

828
00:50:41,919 --> 00:50:44,114
She just missed it.
Finished. Done.
(SCRIBBLING)

829
00:50:44,889 --> 00:50:46,447
Uh, Miss Staton?

830
00:50:49,593 --> 00:50:51,424
Miss Staton?
(MUFFLED) Over here!

831
00:50:57,868 --> 00:50:59,301
What do you think?
Do you like it?

832
00:50:59,370 --> 00:51:01,065
Oh, that's
a knockout.

833
00:51:02,039 --> 00:51:04,633
What is that there?
Is that a flower
in the corner?

834
00:51:04,709 --> 00:51:06,176
I can't quite see it.
No. That's, uh...

835
00:51:06,243 --> 00:51:07,904
I think it's
some kind of
a bird or...

836
00:51:07,979 --> 00:51:09,037
(BLOWS SOFTLY)

837
00:51:09,380 --> 00:51:10,472
Hold this.

838
00:51:14,118 --> 00:51:16,643
Would you be very angry
if I did that again?

839
00:51:18,689 --> 00:51:20,350
(CHUCKLING) Do it again,
I'll let you know.

840
00:51:23,861 --> 00:51:26,295
Do you ever drink
in the afternoon?

841
00:51:27,498 --> 00:51:31,025
No, but I do
in the evening.

842
00:51:37,041 --> 00:51:39,566
We'll do that.
And later, we can get
a bite to eat.

843
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:56,749
Ticket, please, ma'am.

844
00:51:57,328 --> 00:51:58,386
Thank you.

845
00:51:58,562 --> 00:51:59,859
(KNOCKING ON WINDOW)

846
00:52:00,398 --> 00:52:02,093
(MUFFLED) Just
one more thing.

847
00:52:05,569 --> 00:52:07,059
What is it, Lieutenant?

848
00:52:07,138 --> 00:52:09,504
Well, it's tiny,
but I have to ask
these things.

849
00:52:12,943 --> 00:52:15,138
What's your first name?
Lieutenant.

850
00:52:15,813 --> 00:52:17,371
(CHUCKLES) Lieutenant.

851
00:52:18,616 --> 00:52:20,880
You don't have
to explain. I understand.

852
00:52:20,951 --> 00:52:22,111
It's your job.

853
00:52:23,254 --> 00:52:24,721
How can I help?

854
00:52:24,955 --> 00:52:25,979
Can you pull up?

855
00:52:30,227 --> 00:52:32,923
About last night,
when you went
to Nick's apartment...

856
00:52:33,230 --> 00:52:35,323
And believe me,
this is not important.

857
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,296
I'm merely trying to
pin down how you knew
that Nick wasn't home.

858
00:52:43,574 --> 00:52:45,565
I'm sorry. I didn't hear
what you said.

859
00:52:45,709 --> 00:52:49,042
Um, last night,
how you knew that Nick
wasn't in his apartment.

860
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,480
I assume
that before you called
the apartment manager,

861
00:52:53,551 --> 00:52:54,950
you buzzed Nick's
apartment, right?

862
00:52:55,019 --> 00:52:56,714
And there was
no answer.

863
00:52:56,954 --> 00:52:58,478
Is that
how you knew?

864
00:52:58,823 --> 00:53:00,222
No.
No?

865
00:53:01,592 --> 00:53:04,527
No. Oh, I didn't buzz
Nick's apartment.

866
00:53:04,962 --> 00:53:06,259
You didn't?

867
00:53:07,198 --> 00:53:09,393
Well, how did you know
he wasn't there?

868
00:53:09,467 --> 00:53:11,128
Well, his car wasn't
in the garage.

869
00:53:11,735 --> 00:53:14,329
Oh, but it's
such a big garage.
How could you be sure?

870
00:53:14,905 --> 00:53:17,465
No, but I parked in
his space. It was empty.

871
00:53:17,842 --> 00:53:20,367
Oh, you parked
in his space!

872
00:53:20,878 --> 00:53:22,743
Oh, that's
how you knew!

873
00:53:23,314 --> 00:53:24,406
Okay!

874
00:53:25,950 --> 00:53:29,351
But then,
when Nick came home,

875
00:53:32,022 --> 00:53:33,751
he would have
seen your car.

876
00:53:35,659 --> 00:53:37,217
Yeah, I guess
he would. Yes.

877
00:53:37,495 --> 00:53:39,554
Well, that's funny,
then. Hmm.

878
00:53:39,630 --> 00:53:40,961
What?

879
00:53:41,298 --> 00:53:43,198
If he thought you were
in the apartment,

880
00:53:43,267 --> 00:53:45,633
why would he
let himself in
with his keys?

881
00:53:46,604 --> 00:53:49,334
Well, I would think,
Lieutenant, that, uh,
he rang the bell,

882
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,474
and because
I was with the manager,
no one answered,

883
00:53:52,543 --> 00:53:54,340
and so he let himself in
with his key.

884
00:53:54,945 --> 00:53:57,914
Oh, right.
You were with
the manager. Right.

885
00:53:58,015 --> 00:54:01,212
So he rang and rang,
and then...

886
00:54:02,553 --> 00:54:04,578
Yeah,
but the trouble
with that is,

887
00:54:04,655 --> 00:54:06,316
that ringing would've
warned the thieves

888
00:54:06,390 --> 00:54:07,584
and they would've
run out.

889
00:54:09,260 --> 00:54:14,789
Well, maybe it did but they
didn't have enough time
to get all the way out.

890
00:54:15,366 --> 00:54:17,357
Oh, okay. I see
what you're saying.

891
00:54:17,434 --> 00:54:19,368
In other words,
they started to run,

892
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:22,503
but he came in
too fast. Right.

893
00:54:23,474 --> 00:54:27,968
Okay. Uh...
No, no good. You see,
the problem with that is,

894
00:54:28,646 --> 00:54:32,343
the direction of
the bullet that shot him
came from his left,

895
00:54:33,250 --> 00:54:36,777
from someone standing
in the hallway that
led to the bedroom.

896
00:54:36,854 --> 00:54:39,880
If the thieves
were running out
and they shot him,

897
00:54:40,491 --> 00:54:43,722
the bullet would have come
from the direction of
the sliding glass doors

898
00:54:43,794 --> 00:54:45,785
that lead
to the patio.

899
00:54:46,864 --> 00:54:50,027
Oh, I tell you.
I don't know,
this case, it's...

900
00:54:50,834 --> 00:54:55,328
It has me stumped.
I got a million
questions...

901
00:54:55,706 --> 00:54:58,641
Why don't you just
give it a rest?
Stop worrying it.

902
00:54:59,376 --> 00:55:00,809
Yeah.
Hmm.

903
00:55:02,046 --> 00:55:03,638
See you tonight?
Right.

904
00:55:04,481 --> 00:55:06,346
8:00.
Yeah.

905
00:55:09,220 --> 00:55:11,017
I just left him. We kissed.

906
00:55:13,290 --> 00:55:14,985
No.
Yes!

907
00:55:15,659 --> 00:55:17,854
I'll do anything. Charm him,
seduce him.

908
00:55:17,928 --> 00:55:19,793
I'll even run off for
a weekend in Mexico
with him.

909
00:55:20,598 --> 00:55:22,327
And did he ask you?
<i>Not yet.</i>

910
00:55:24,134 --> 00:55:25,192
Aren't you worried?

911
00:55:25,369 --> 00:55:28,202
No. It's such
a strange situation.

912
00:55:29,039 --> 00:55:30,734
He's fun to be with.

913
00:55:31,275 --> 00:55:33,368
I like him.
I really like him.

914
00:55:33,444 --> 00:55:35,002
And you know what?

915
00:55:35,079 --> 00:55:36,376
He likes me.

916
00:55:36,914 --> 00:55:39,075
And if I play
my cards right,
which I will,

917
00:55:39,483 --> 00:55:43,977
there'll come a time
when he'll be more interested
in me than his investigation.

918
00:55:44,488 --> 00:55:46,752
Look, I just want
this whole thing
to be over soon.

919
00:55:47,925 --> 00:55:50,894
Do you think it will be?
I do. Yes, I do.

920
00:55:51,929 --> 00:55:54,261
In a few more days,
I'm sure he'll drop it.

921

(DOORBELL RINGING)

cards with him. I mean,
not for money, just for fun.

928
00:58:46,170 --> 00:58:49,970
He kept us laughing all night.
He was so easy and likable.
We had such a good time.

why would they?
They wouldn't.

So, what's the point?

Who turned on the heat?

Are we talking
about Nick's apartment?

989
01:02:25,622 --> 01:02:28,022
Yes.
Okay. So, what's
the question?

990
01:02:30,427 --> 01:02:31,917
Who turned on the heat?

991
01:02:33,930 --> 01:02:34,988
Beats me.

992
01:02:35,966 --> 01:02:37,365
You fooled me.

993
01:02:39,036 --> 01:02:40,333
I thought you were
gonna ask me

994
01:02:40,404 --> 01:02:42,531
how did I know that
the heat was turned on.

995
01:02:43,473 --> 01:02:44,565
You want me
to ask you that?

996
01:02:47,110 --> 01:02:49,203
How did you know
the heat was turned on?

997
01:02:49,946 --> 01:02:52,176
When Nick left
the apartment
in the afternoon,

998
01:02:53,150 --> 01:02:54,947
it was
98 degrees outside.

999
01:02:55,686 --> 01:02:57,745
So the heat had to be
turned off.

1000
01:02:58,889 --> 01:03:01,551
But when Nick came home
at 2:00 in the morning,

1001
01:03:01,658 --> 01:03:03,785
it was
55 degrees outside.

1002
01:03:04,995 --> 01:03:08,453
But the thermostat
in the apartment
read 72 degrees.

1003
01:03:10,167 --> 01:03:12,635
So someone
had to have been
in the apartment

1004
01:03:13,203 --> 01:03:14,932
and turned the heat on.

You could find all
the people in Los Angeles

1008

a circulation problem and
were susceptible to the cold,

1009
01:03:29,686 --> 01:03:31,347
and round them up
for questioning.

1010
01:03:32,155 --> 01:03:34,316
Well, for now,
I just want
to concentrate

01:03:35,125 --> 01:03:38,026

what you wanna do,

that's what
you should do.

I was there for some time.
I was tense, my mind racing.

realizing it, by rote,

it was to make things easier.

what really happened.

you exist.

even know I exist.

of the evening...

1081
01:07:46,576 --> 01:07:48,544
Now, I saw this
with my own eyes.

1082
01:07:49,112 --> 01:07:52,377
I was bartendering
at Miro's, a party of 10,

1083
01:07:52,582 --> 01:07:54,516
and he's the life
of the party.

1084
01:07:55,118 --> 01:07:57,882
And Mel Sarnoff has
his wallet on the bar,

1085
01:07:58,488 --> 01:08:00,820
and he turns to talk
to the guy on his right,

1086
01:08:01,725 --> 01:08:03,659
and Nick removes
half the money.

1087
01:08:04,127 --> 01:08:06,061
A real scum bucket.

1088
01:08:07,097 --> 01:08:09,930
I know
other bartenders.
We talk.

1089
01:08:10,567 --> 01:08:13,866
And they say the same thing.
He was a scum bucket.

1090
01:08:14,471 --> 01:08:17,668
Used women.
Made them all
feel like queens,

1091
01:08:17,741 --> 01:08:18,901
young and old,

1092
01:08:19,376 --> 01:08:20,968
the older ones
for their money,

1093
01:08:21,511 --> 01:08:23,536
the young ones
for their body.

1094
01:08:24,180 --> 01:08:25,613
Scum bucket!

1095
01:08:25,815 --> 01:08:27,942
See? The Commissioner knows.
He knows what's going on.

1096
01:08:28,018 --> 01:08:29,815
You know what's crazy
about this thing?

1097
01:08:30,186 --> 01:08:32,416
The more time
I spend with her,

1098
01:08:34,224 --> 01:08:36,488
the more I think
she's got good stuff
in her.

1099
01:08:37,327 --> 01:08:38,555
On the other hand,

1100
01:08:38,628 --> 01:08:39,617
(SIGHS)

1101
01:08:39,696 --> 01:08:41,357
The more time
I spend with her,

1102
01:08:41,431 --> 01:08:43,194
the more
I think she did it.

1103
01:08:44,234 --> 01:08:46,759
Here's to her.
Why did she wait so long?

1104
01:08:49,773 --> 01:08:51,570
I'm gonna get
some air.

1105
01:08:51,808 --> 01:08:53,469
In order to solve
this case,

1106
01:08:54,344 --> 01:08:56,312
would you tell her
you'd marry her?

1107
01:08:56,980 --> 01:08:59,676
Are you on drugs?
Would you sleep
with her?

1108
01:09:01,251 --> 01:09:03,947
How much
is the gum?
Did you kiss her?

1109
01:09:04,287 --> 01:09:06,881
(SIGHS) I can't believe
gum costs this much.

1110
01:09:07,824 --> 01:09:10,520
You know, she probably
really likes you.

1111
01:09:11,594 --> 01:09:14,119
She doesn't have to pretend.
You're easy to like.

1112
01:09:14,397 --> 01:09:16,422
So it's easy for her
to use her femininity

1113
01:09:16,499 --> 01:09:17,966
for the one thing
that matters.

1114
01:09:18,401 --> 01:09:19,629
She has to save
herself.

1115
01:09:20,003 --> 01:09:22,699
Since when did you become
a psychologist?

1116
01:09:23,239 --> 01:09:24,900
It goes with
owning a restaurant!

1117
01:09:25,141 --> 01:09:26,733
And you probably
like her.

1118
01:09:27,210 --> 01:09:29,974
You don't have
to pretend.
She's easy to like.

1119
01:09:30,613 --> 01:09:32,205
And it's easy for you
to play the game

1120
01:09:32,282 --> 01:09:33,943
for the one thing
that really matters.

1121
01:09:34,517 --> 01:09:36,485
You have to break this case.

1122
01:09:37,287 --> 01:09:39,221
This used to be
my favorite restaurant.

1123
01:09:40,056 --> 01:09:41,216
Here's why
you're troubled.

1124
01:09:41,357 --> 01:09:42,654
You like her.

1125
01:09:42,859 --> 01:09:44,383
And the more you show it,

1126
01:09:44,627 --> 01:09:47,892
the more she thinks
you're gonna give her
a break. And you're not.

1127
01:09:47,964 --> 01:09:50,023
You're leading her
down the garden path,

1128
01:09:50,100 --> 01:09:51,362
and you don't
like it.

1129
01:09:52,135 --> 01:09:54,035
How many gums
did you take?
Two!

1130
01:09:55,405 --> 01:09:56,702
It's going on the tab.

1131
01:09:57,073 --> 01:09:59,371
Don't worry
about the tab.

1132
01:09:59,576 --> 01:10:02,101
George here
has got money.

1133
01:10:02,745 --> 01:10:03,734
Shut up.

1134

Ah. With this sponge...
Yeah.

You clean inside first,

I take this out,
and I clean.

You start at the top

I start at the top.
Always at the top.

You clean over here?
No, I don't
clean the ice.

1149
01:10:47,390 --> 01:10:49,017
All right, so you
put the food back,

1150
01:10:49,092 --> 01:10:50,354
and then you
clean the outside.

1151

Show me.

You clean
over here?

Ah.

Okay. I clean...

See?

And then I put this back.

01:11:15,952 --> 01:11:18,682
You put the plug
in this socket
or this socket?

This socket.
I always put
in this socket.

1162
01:11:21,791 --> 01:11:23,759
But it just came out
of this socket.

1163

<i>Si.</i>
Who put it
in this socket?

Maybe my sister.

my sister come.

a mistake.

the refrigerator plug

was connected to

01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:25,663
What am I gonna do
with that information?

1236
01:15:27,069 --> 01:15:30,334
Ask me what really happened
that night, I couldn't
tell you. I'm stumped.

1237
01:15:31,507 --> 01:15:33,134
This case,
it's got me, uh...

1238
01:15:33,776 --> 01:15:34,902
It's got me wacky.

1239
01:15:35,711 --> 01:15:37,110
I don't sleep at night.

1240
01:15:37,313 --> 01:15:38,678
Does that mean
you can't have
a good time?

1241
01:15:38,981 --> 01:15:40,243
When I'm with you?

1242
01:15:40,316 --> 01:15:43,877
No, no, when I'm with you
I can still have a good time.

1243
01:15:46,055 --> 01:15:47,488
Can we order
a drink?

1244
01:15:47,557 --> 01:15:49,582
Uh, no. I'm afraid not.

1245
01:15:51,794 --> 01:15:54,194
No liquor here.
Beer. Wine.

1246
01:15:55,798 --> 01:15:56,992
You want something
to drink?

1247
01:15:57,066 --> 01:15:58,260
I'll tell you
something.

1248
01:15:58,568 --> 01:16:01,059
She'll have
something to drink.
Thanks.

1249
01:16:05,241 --> 01:16:06,367
Cheers!
Cheers.

1250
01:16:07,410 --> 01:16:10,971
Here you go. Now, if there's
anything else, just holler.

1251
01:16:11,047 --> 01:16:12,207
(LAUGHING) Okay!

1252
01:16:12,381 --> 01:16:14,747
The steak is
fantastic.
I wanna open this now.

1253
01:16:14,817 --> 01:16:16,910
Oh, no!
Before you eat?
I can't wait.

1254
01:16:17,887 --> 01:16:19,013
I can't believe
this steak.

1255
01:16:19,088 --> 01:16:20,316
It's the only thing
he can cook,

1256
01:16:20,790 --> 01:16:22,348
but it's the best
in town.

1257
01:16:33,636 --> 01:16:35,160
Will your dog
fit into that?

1258
01:16:35,238 --> 01:16:38,036
If you went
around the world
three times,

1259
01:16:38,407 --> 01:16:40,341
you couldn't find me
a better gift.

1260
01:16:46,215 --> 01:16:47,807
Can I ask you
something?

1261
01:16:48,484 --> 01:16:51,009
Why do you ask if you
can ask? You're gonna
do it anyway.

1262
01:16:53,055 --> 01:16:55,285
How long
were you seeing Nick?

1263
01:16:57,860 --> 01:16:59,020
Three months.

1264
01:17:02,598 --> 01:17:03,587
Um...

1265
01:17:04,467 --> 01:17:07,095
All right, I'II, uh,
take care of this
in a minute.

1266
01:17:16,245 --> 01:17:17,234
(SIGHS)

1267
01:17:20,583 --> 01:17:22,744
Barney was talking
about Nick last night.

1268
01:17:23,085 --> 01:17:24,814
I'm gonna use
his exact words.

1269
01:17:25,555 --> 01:17:26,647
"Scum bucket."

1270
01:17:28,591 --> 01:17:30,456
I'm surprised you would
repeat that to me.

1271
01:17:31,327 --> 01:17:34,194
He went on to say
that Nick was the type

1272
01:17:35,831 --> 01:17:37,025
that used...

1273
01:17:38,968 --> 01:17:40,435
Okay, forget that.

1274
01:17:41,971 --> 01:17:43,495
I won't repeat that.

1275
01:17:44,607 --> 01:17:47,804
I'm bringing it up
because, in going through
Nick's personal effects,

1276
01:17:47,877 --> 01:17:51,608
I noticed that
his golf membership
was canceled,

1277
01:17:51,681 --> 01:17:53,876
he canceled
a life-insurance policy,

1278
01:17:53,950 --> 01:17:56,441
there was an IOU
for $30,000,

1279
01:17:57,420 --> 01:17:59,445
and this all took place

1280
01:18:00,990 --> 01:18:02,287
about three months ago.

1281
01:18:03,859 --> 01:18:08,296
So I was wondering,
did Nick ever talk to you
about marriage or money?

1282
01:18:08,965 --> 01:18:10,364
Lieutenant.

1283
01:18:12,234 --> 01:18:15,226
I've always been willing
to discuss with you
the circumstances

1284
01:18:15,638 --> 01:18:17,299
surrounding Nick's death.

1285
01:18:18,708 --> 01:18:22,974
I've always been willing
to discuss with you
my relationship with Nick,

1286
01:18:24,580 --> 01:18:28,175
and anything else
you wanted to talk about,

1287
01:18:29,552 --> 01:18:30,780
the lights,

1288
01:18:31,153 --> 01:18:32,279
the refrigerator,

1289
01:18:32,888 --> 01:18:34,219
my circulation problem,

1290
01:18:34,824 --> 01:18:36,621
and God knows what else.

1291
01:18:37,793 --> 01:18:38,953
But this

1292
01:18:39,929 --> 01:18:41,157
is unpleasant.

1293
01:18:43,833 --> 01:18:45,425
This hurts.

1294
01:18:46,702 --> 01:18:48,693
If you want to go on,
I will,

1295
01:18:50,039 --> 01:18:51,336
but I want...
No. No.

1296
01:18:52,808 --> 01:18:54,275
Let's drop it.

1297
01:18:55,811 --> 01:18:59,907
I know nothing about Nick's
financial situation.

1298
01:19:00,850 --> 01:19:04,411
If what you say is true,
he never mentioned it to me.

1299
01:19:07,089 --> 01:19:10,820
Whether or not
we discussed marriage

1300
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,394
really is a private matter.

1301
01:19:18,868 --> 01:19:20,392
I understand.

1302
01:19:22,938 --> 01:19:24,166
Later.

1303
01:19:27,243 --> 01:19:28,301
Later.

1304
01:19:47,096 --> 01:19:48,563
Probably could have
had this done
a little faster

1305
01:19:48,631 --> 01:19:49,757
down at
the police lab.

1306
01:19:49,832 --> 01:19:51,663
Oh, they're not mine.
They're my brother-in-law's.

1307
01:19:51,734 --> 01:19:53,326
Yeah? How come he wants
such big blowups?

1308
01:19:53,436 --> 01:19:55,233
And why does he cut
the people's heads off?

1309
01:19:55,304 --> 01:19:57,465
Well, to him, it's art.
Let him be happy.

1310
01:19:57,540 --> 01:19:59,770
(LAUGHING) Okay.
Take care.

1311
01:20:01,077 --> 01:20:03,910
COLUMBO: (ON RADIO)
<i>You've been watching her?</i>
<i>What's she been doing?</i>

1312
01:20:04,246 --> 01:20:06,476
Nothing exciting.
Always alone.

1313
01:20:06,549 --> 01:20:10,451
Takes walks.
Goes swimming. Reads a lot.
Doesn't talk to anybody.

1314
01:20:11,287 --> 01:20:14,450
Got on the phone
a couple of times.
Seems preoccupied.

1315
01:20:16,225 --> 01:20:19,058
Okay. Pick her up.
Bring her in.
<i>Yes, sir.</i>

1316
01:20:22,965 --> 01:20:24,694
Get me that number.

1317
01:20:26,736 --> 01:20:27,896
Yeah. I'll get it
to her all right.

1318
01:20:27,970 --> 01:20:30,404
I'm here to see
Lieutenant Columbo.
My name is Miss Staton.

1319
01:20:30,473 --> 01:20:31,838
What's this
in connection with?

1320
01:20:32,141 --> 01:20:34,268
He asked me to come down.
Said they'd picked up
a suspect.

1321
01:20:34,343 --> 01:20:35,435
They want her
in the booth

1322
01:20:35,511 --> 01:20:36,705
behind the
interrogation room.

1323
01:20:36,812 --> 01:20:38,404
Show her down.
This way, ma'am.

1324
01:20:43,886 --> 01:20:44,910
INVESTIGATOR 1:
<i>Why did you lie</i>

1325
01:20:44,987 --> 01:20:47,114
<i>when the detective asked you</i>
<i>if you knew Nick Franco?</i>

1326
01:20:47,189 --> 01:20:49,487
INVESTIGATOR 2: <i>You said</i>
<i>you didn't know him.</i>
<i>Is that right? Yes or no?</i>

1327
01:20:49,558 --> 01:20:51,526
LISA: <i>Yes.</i>
INVESTIGATOR 3: <i>Yes, what?</i>
<i>Yes, you knew him?</i>

1328
01:20:51,594 --> 01:20:52,754
<i>You said you didn't</i>
<i>know him.</i>

1329
01:20:52,828 --> 01:20:55,092
Yes, I said
I didn't know him!
Why did you lie?

1330
01:20:55,164 --> 01:20:56,825
And where were you
on the night of the 19th?

1331
01:20:56,899 --> 01:20:58,924
LISA: <i>I was...</i>
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>In the movies. We know that.</i>

1332
01:20:59,001 --> 01:21:01,162
<i>Were you with anyone</i>
<i>after the movies?</i>
<i>No!</i>

1333
01:21:01,237 --> 01:21:03,296
<i>Was the ticket taker</i>
<i>a man or a woman?</i>
<i>I don't remember.</i>

1334
01:21:03,372 --> 01:21:05,033
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>Why are you lying?</i>
<i>I'm not lying.</i>

1335
01:21:05,107 --> 01:21:06,734
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>What was the name</i>
<i>of the movie?</i>

1336
01:21:07,576 --> 01:21:09,043
<i>It was a scary movie.</i>
INVESTIGATOR 3:
<i>You're not lying?</i>

1337
01:21:09,111 --> 01:21:11,511
<i>You said you didn't know</i>
<i>Nick Franco! Was that a lie?</i>

1338
01:21:13,149 --> 01:21:14,878
(SOFTLY) <i>Yes.</i>
INVESTIGATOR 1: <i>What was</i>
<i>the name of the movie?</i>

1339
01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:16,247
<i>I don't remember!</i>

1340
01:21:16,752 --> 01:21:18,219
INVESTIGATOR 3:
<i>What theater?</i>

1341
01:21:19,688 --> 01:21:21,212
<i>The, uh, Deluxe</i>
<i>on Ventura.</i>

1342
01:21:21,290 --> 01:21:22,985
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>Why are you lying?</i>
<i>I'm not lying!</i>

1343
01:21:23,058 --> 01:21:25,322
INVESTIGATOR 3: <i>You're not</i>
<i>lying? You said you didn't</i>
<i>know Nick Franco.</i>

1344
01:21:25,394 --> 01:21:26,588
<i>Was that a lie?</i>

1345
01:21:26,662 --> 01:21:28,129
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>Count these numbers!</i>

1346
01:21:29,098 --> 01:21:30,622
Count them!

1347
01:21:32,501 --> 01:21:34,366
One, two,

1348
01:21:35,638 --> 01:21:38,630
three, four...
That's the number of times
you spoke to Nick Franco.

1349
01:21:39,008 --> 01:21:40,270
INVESTIGATOR 1: You said
you didn't know him.

1350
01:21:40,342 --> 01:21:41,331
INVESTIGATOR 2:
<i>Count these numbers.</i>

1351
01:21:41,510 --> 01:21:43,944
What are those numbers?
It's one number.

1352
01:21:44,046 --> 01:21:46,105
LISA: <i>... seven, eight, nine.</i>
Her telephone number.

1353
01:21:46,182 --> 01:21:49,618
INVESTIGATOR 2: <i>Ten times</i>
<i>you spoke to Nick Franco!</i>
<i>Count these numbers.</i>

1354
01:21:53,489 --> 01:21:54,786
Who found this girl?

1355
01:21:55,724 --> 01:21:56,713
I did.

1356
01:21:57,426 --> 01:21:58,484
How?

1357
01:22:02,164 --> 01:22:03,825
Nick called her, uh,

1358
01:22:04,767 --> 01:22:07,702
12 times
in the last 10 days.

1359
01:22:09,772 --> 01:22:11,933
It's a toll call
and it was
on his phone bill.

1360
01:22:13,409 --> 01:22:16,640
For the past 10 days,
he had his phone bill
sent to a P.O. Box.

1361
01:22:17,913 --> 01:22:20,609
I guess he didn't want it
laying around the apartment.

1362
01:22:21,851 --> 01:22:23,978
Someone who spends time
there might see it.

1363
01:22:26,355 --> 01:22:27,788
Do you know her?

1364
01:22:32,795 --> 01:22:35,025
Let me show you
these photographs.

1365
01:22:46,609 --> 01:22:48,270
Do you recognize
that chair?

1366
01:22:51,580 --> 01:22:53,377
I'd say it's
the same chair.

1367
01:22:55,150 --> 01:22:59,610
Hand-carved
antique chair.
One of a kind.

1368
01:23:01,790 --> 01:23:03,417
I'd say, at one time,

1369
01:23:05,294 --> 01:23:07,353
you were
in the same room
as that person.

1370
01:23:08,130 --> 01:23:09,620
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

1371
01:23:09,732 --> 01:23:12,860
MAN: Lieutenant, the boys want
to go after her harder.
What do you think?

1372
01:23:13,535 --> 01:23:15,969
We're waiting on you.
I'll be with you
in a minute!

1373
01:23:37,126 --> 01:23:39,594
Can you solve this case
without a confession?

1374
01:23:41,230 --> 01:23:42,527
No.

1375
01:23:44,833 --> 01:23:46,460
Would you do anything
to hurt me?

1376
01:23:54,944 --> 01:23:57,071
If you could solve this case,

1377
01:23:59,014 --> 01:24:00,379
would you do anything
to hurt me?

1378
01:24:02,017 --> 01:24:03,382
I wouldn't.

1379
01:24:05,220 --> 01:24:07,984
If you could solve this case,
would you do anything

1380
01:24:09,325 --> 01:24:10,815
to keep from hurting me?

1381
01:24:12,061 --> 01:24:13,323
Anything.

1382
01:24:16,231 --> 01:24:17,721

Still here, Lieutenant.

01:24:32,614 --> 01:24:34,639

I'm, uh,
Lieutenant Columbo.

1390
01:25:38,914 --> 01:25:40,711
Mean anything to you?

1391
01:25:42,017 --> 01:25:43,609
No.
No?

1392
01:25:44,119 --> 01:25:45,381
Okay.

1393
01:25:45,454 --> 01:25:47,581
I only mention it
because, uh,

1394
01:25:47,890 --> 01:25:49,983
maybe in your travels
you heard the name.

You don't have
to say nothing.

You got money

Yes.

1398
01:26:02,871 --> 01:26:04,998
There's a telephone booth
two blocks down.

1399
01:26:06,775 --> 01:26:07,867
Okay.

1400
01:26:08,243 --> 01:26:09,870
Now, the detective,
he told me

1401
01:26:09,945 --> 01:26:13,608
that you've spent
a lot of time
in Europe? It's true?

1402
01:26:15,384 --> 01:26:16,442
Yes.

1403
01:26:16,552 --> 01:26:20,079
Well, there must be
something important
going on there tomorrow,

1404
01:26:20,923 --> 01:26:23,084
and if I were you,
I wouldn't miss it.

Okay.

Lauren wants it
this way.

Goodbye.

What's up?
I'm going in
another direction.

1410
01:27:08,470 --> 01:27:10,233
What, you got
something?
Could be major.

1411
01:27:10,405 --> 01:27:12,236
Better than that girl.
That was going nowhere.

Electric blanket.

1417

Why did you turn off
the switch for the lights?

1418
01:27:42,504 --> 01:27:43,994
That living room can be
seen by neighbors.

Do you remember
turning up the heat?

No. I did it by rote,

My mind was elsewhere.

1423
01:27:57,619 --> 01:27:59,416
Who fired the shot
in the apartment

1424
01:27:59,488 --> 01:28:01,615
while you were outside
in the corridor
with the manager?

That's for you to find out.

1426
01:28:05,527 --> 01:28:06,892
An unknown accomplice.

Male.

Accomplice, unknown male.

1429
01:28:14,836 --> 01:28:17,066
And he was the one
that removed
the electric blanket?

That's right.

1431
01:28:21,276 --> 01:28:25,975
And he's the one
that took Nick's car out
of the garage after 12:00

1432
01:28:26,048 --> 01:28:27,845
and brought it back

1433
01:28:28,817 --> 01:28:30,079
That's right.

1434
01:28:30,185 --> 01:28:31,914
And you refuse
to name him?

1435
01:28:33,622 --> 01:28:34,748
I refuse.

1436
01:28:43,832 --> 01:28:45,356

He used us both.
Neither of us had any idea.

1442
01:29:09,925 --> 01:29:12,325
Did he know?
Yes, from the beginning.

1443
01:29:13,729 --> 01:29:14,889
But how did all this...

1444
01:29:15,330 --> 01:29:16,592
Nick was in Rome. He

1445
01:29:16,665 --> 01:29:18,724
(SIGHS) saw Lisa,

1446
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,665
picked her up,
seduced her,

1447
01:29:20,836 --> 01:29:21,996
and through her,

1448
01:29:23,005 --> 01:29:25,701
found out about a wealthy
mother in Beverly Hills.

1449
01:29:26,942 --> 01:29:28,773
He came after me.

1450
01:29:30,345 --> 01:29:32,643
Lisa, in Rome,
knew nothing,

1451
01:29:34,349 --> 01:29:36,977
until something I said
in a letter.

1452
01:29:39,688 --> 01:29:41,849
I described the man
I was seeing,

1453
01:29:42,958 --> 01:29:44,721
his pet expression,

1454
01:29:45,927 --> 01:29:47,792
"Can I nibble on your ear?"

1455
01:29:52,234 --> 01:29:53,599
Other things.

1456
01:29:55,404 --> 01:29:57,497
A ring with his initials,

1457
01:29:59,441 --> 01:30:00,703
a tiny scar.

1458
01:30:03,245 --> 01:30:05,406
Lisa became hysterical.

1459

It sounded like Nick!

Can you imagine?

1461
01:30:12,287 --> 01:30:15,688
Being involved
with a man in Rome,

seducing your mother
in Los Angeles.

And?

1466
01:30:35,177 --> 01:30:36,610
He said he needed money

1467
01:30:36,978 --> 01:30:38,809
and he was gonna
get it from me,

1468
01:30:40,349 --> 01:30:43,443
and she should go back
to Rome and wait for him.

She went berserk.
Started screaming.

1470

He beat her.
He put his hands around
her neck and choked her.

1471
01:30:55,130 --> 01:30:57,030
He then sliced her neck
with a razor

if she told me.
