1
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,278
Beautiful.

2
00:01:18,946 --> 00:01:21,181
- You all right?
- Good.

3
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:24,384
Oh, she looks glorious tonight.
She's glowing.

4
00:01:24,484 --> 00:01:27,054
She's in love.
I heard he asked her to marry him.

5
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:30,057
Oh, it's true. She's sky-high.

6
00:01:30,891 --> 00:01:32,426
Is Nick coming?

7
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,228
You look sensational.

8
00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:37,431
You should have seen me
get into this dress.

9
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:40,667
A team of three plus a crowbar.

10
00:01:56,183 --> 00:01:58,652
Tsung, do me a favor,
watch for Mr. Franco's car.

11
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:01,221
As soon as it arrives, come and get me.

12
00:02:02,723 --> 00:02:05,659
Lauren! Great party.

13
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,629
Miss Staton, he's here!

14
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:36,523
He showed up. His car just pulled
into the driveway.

15
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:38,425
Tonight could be the night.

16
00:02:38,859 --> 00:02:41,428
Unless he decides to stay with me,
which I doubt.

17
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:42,729
<i>Are you nervous?</i>

18
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:45,532
I'm high. And you?

19
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,034
<i>I'm ready.</i>

20
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:51,071
He's at the front door now.

21
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:53,907
John, don't open that
for a minute, will you?

22
00:02:54,307 --> 00:02:55,342
Ciao.

23
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:02,883
- Ask who it is.
- Who is it?

24
00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:04,384
Mr. Franco.

25
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:05,819
Ask him if he's been invited.

26
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,354
Have you been invited, sir?

27
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:09,523
Yes, I've been invited.

28
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:10,824
Tell him he's not on the list.

29
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:13,994
Your name does not appear
on the invitation list, sir.

30
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:17,164
Listen, this would be a lot easier
if you'd open the door.

31
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:21,902
May I help you, sir?

32
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:28,008
If you put your mind to it, you could.

33
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:29,943
Come here.

34
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:33,046
Excuse me, John.

35
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:40,687
What?

36
00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:42,622
I don't understand.

37
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:45,726
Why don't I get tired of you?

38
00:03:47,627 --> 00:03:48,962
I don't know.

39
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:50,897
It doesn't make sense.

40
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:53,333
You're not even Italian.

41
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:55,168
What is it?

42
00:03:56,670 --> 00:03:59,172
I can't explain it.

43
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,876
I am crazy about you.

44
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:04,911
What am I going to do?

45
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:08,281
Live with it, I suppose.

46
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,097
Why aren't we married?

47
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:25,398
Sit up.

48
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,335
Don't say that unless you mean it.

49
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:30,170
I mean it.

50
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:32,472
You're talking about marriage,

51
00:04:32,572 --> 00:04:34,941
meanwhile, you're running out on
my party in 10 minutes.

52
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:38,812
I'm not running out on you.
I already ran out on a poker game.

53
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:40,614
You winning or losing?

54
00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:43,884
I'm losing, cookie.
I'm stuck for 12,000.

55
00:04:43,984 --> 00:04:47,120
Otherwise I'd stay.
You know I would rather be...

56
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,256
I know that.

57
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:51,892
I just want to hear you say it.

58
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:56,196
Are you free tomorrow afternoon?

59
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:57,798
Yes.

60
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:01,968
May I take you for a drive?

61
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,938
That would be lovely.

62
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:11,511
Would it interfere with your
listening if I nibble on your ear?

63
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:14,881
Well, let me take care
of a few things first,

64
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:17,250
and then I'll come back
and let you nibble.

65
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:19,886
Okay.

66
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:45,812
It's me.

67
00:05:45,912 --> 00:05:47,080
<i>What's happening?</i>

68
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:50,851
He's leaving now. He lied. Said
he was going back to his poker game.

69
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:54,654
I'm sure he'll call you.
Now get back to me as soon as you can.

70
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:55,922
<i>I will.</i>

71
00:05:56,256 --> 00:06:00,260
Be careful, he's capable of anything.

72
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,228
<i>I know.</i>

73
00:06:01,328 --> 00:06:03,096
Don't forget your gloves.

74
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,264
<i>I won't.</i>

75
00:06:26,152 --> 00:06:27,687
Are you leaving now?

76
00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:29,356
No, not immediately.

77
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:32,993
Oh, Nick, you can go
if you want to.

78
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,395
I've got all these people
to take care of. Go!

79
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:39,699
I don't want to leave you. I want
to be with you some more. I want to...

80
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:41,601
Nick.

81
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:44,905
Honestly, I understand.
Go, back to your game.

82
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:48,141
Tomorrow afternoon.

83
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,144
We'll head north
and find an open field.

84
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:10,830
What about yourself
pleases you the most? Hmm?

85
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,300
What's your best feature?

86
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:16,770
What do you think?

87
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:19,673
Your teeth.

88
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:24,411
You think my teeth
are my best feature?

89
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:27,147
No. You do.

90
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:29,549
Wrong.

91
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:35,088
Your legs.
You like your legs the best.

92
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:41,962
I don't like my legs.
Why do you make me sound so vain?

93
00:07:42,662 --> 00:07:44,864
Do you know what I'm
gonna teach you to do?

94
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:49,502
Play. Tease. Flirt.

95
00:07:50,337 --> 00:07:54,741
You're such a serious young lady.
Probably comes from growing up in Italy.

96
00:07:55,542 --> 00:07:57,277
What about my neck?

97
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,548
I love you. I want to
spend my life with you.

98
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:05,385
You frighten me.

99
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:12,792
Do what I tell you.
Believe what I say.

100
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:15,595
Know that I love you.

101
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:25,772
I hate looking at that.

102
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:33,313
Don't make me do it again.

103
00:08:36,383 --> 00:08:37,617
Come here.

104
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:45,625
Just stay close.
I'll take care of you.

105
00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:46,352
Yes.

106
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:48,288
Everything's fine.

107
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,157
Right now we're at a bar
in the Valley,

108
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,927
and he's had a few drinks.
He's in the restroom.

109
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:56,830
I can't tell you what time we'll get
to the apartment.

110
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:58,198
But I'll try and be fast.

111
00:09:59,065 --> 00:10:00,066
Okay.

112
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,268
If there's a delay, just wait.

113
00:10:02,402 --> 00:10:03,503
Did he threaten you?

114
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:07,307
I'm all right.
He wants to get me in bed.

115
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:09,776
Whatever you do, be careful.

116
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:11,778
I will.

117
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:14,581
And don't forget,
take care of the light switch.

118
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:17,250
I won't forget my gloves.

119
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,187
Are you sure...

120
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,123
you want to do this?

121
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:25,225
Are you sure?

122
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,527
Yes.

123
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:30,330
So am I.

124
00:10:35,702 --> 00:10:39,639
He's outside the booth now.
He wants to nibble on my ear.

125
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:46,513
He's holding up a sign now...

126
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,548
"I'm crazy about you.

127
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,684
<i>Can't help myself.
What am I going to do?"</i>

128
00:10:56,689 --> 00:10:58,525
How I hate him.

129
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:22,415
Nick.

130
00:11:23,082 --> 00:11:24,517
The stairs.

131
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:46,973
Damn.

132
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:52,345
Damn it!
Can you get the lamp on the table?

133
00:11:52,779 --> 00:11:53,880
All right.

134
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:56,783
Did you get it?

135
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:00,220
In a minute.

136
00:12:01,321 --> 00:12:02,956
Oh, I got my keys. Okay.

137
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,090
Good.

138
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:06,459
Lisa?

139
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,394
No.

140
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:13,700
It's the other woman.

141
00:13:32,779 --> 00:13:34,113
Here's the gun.

142
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,949
The tools are in the bag.

143
00:13:38,117 --> 00:13:41,321
Don't forget the switch
for the living-room lights.

144
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:45,892
Take his car from the garage, wait for
my call before you bring it back.

145
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,495
Here's the money for the soup cans.

146
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:52,165
You know what to do.

147
00:13:52,699 --> 00:13:55,935
Don't worry about his jewelry
from the bedroom, I've got that.

148
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:58,171
All right.

149
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:00,139
Be brave.

150
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:05,578
Ciao.

151
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,147
Ciao.

152
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:46,386
<i>Pack up all my cares and woes
Here we go, singing low</i>

153
00:14:46,486 --> 00:14:51,724
<i>Bye, bye, blackbird</i>

154
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:57,096
<i>Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he</i>

155
00:14:57,196 --> 00:15:02,335
<i>Bye, bye, blackbird</i>

156
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:07,507
<i>No one seems to love
or understand me</i>

157
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:13,579
<i>Oh, what hard-luck stories
they all hand me</i>

158
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,751
<i>Make my bed and light the light.
I'll be home late tonight...</i>

159
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:20,253
- Feeling better?
- Yeah.

160
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:23,289
I took an aspirin. A few minutes'
rest can do wonders.

161
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:24,924
Wonderful!

162
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:50,683
Scotch.

163
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:54,353
Headache gone?

164
00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:56,923
All gone.

165
00:16:27,587 --> 00:16:31,624
Harry! Harry, hurry up!
It's cold out here!

166
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:38,798
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

167
00:16:38,898 --> 00:16:41,934
- It was wonderful to have you.
- Lovely. Thanks a lot.

168
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,510
You're welcome to the room,
the piano, the liquor,

169
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,979
but not me. I've had it.

170
00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:54,780
Good night!

171
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:59,118
<i>For she's a jolly good fellow
For she's a jolly good fellow</i>

172
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:02,788
<i>For she's a jolly good fellow</i>

173
00:17:02,889 --> 00:17:06,459
<i>Which nobody can deny</i>

174
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,363
Yes?

175
00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:47,366
Mr. Ruddick? It's Lauren Staton.

176
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:51,103
I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour,
but I forgot my key again.

177
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,205
<i>Who do you want?</i>

178
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,142
It's Miss Staton, Mr. Ruddick.

179
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:59,946
I want to get into Nick's
apartment. I forgot my key.

180
00:18:00,146 --> 00:18:02,882
<i>Oh, Miss Staton. Oh, all right.</i>

181
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:17,496
Mr. Ruddick?

182
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,832
Come in, I'll be with you in a minute.

183
00:18:20,299 --> 00:18:22,702
Turned cold on us. Who would expect it?

184
00:18:22,802 --> 00:18:24,136
I'm so sorry I woke you.

185
00:18:24,236 --> 00:18:26,539
Listen, by now I'm used to you.
So what is it tonight?

186
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:28,608
He's playing dice, or gin or what?

187
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:30,109
- Poker.
- Well, I hope he wins.

188
00:18:30,209 --> 00:18:32,511
At least that way, you won't mind waiting.

189
00:18:51,163 --> 00:18:53,766
When you wait for him, do you
at least cook something for him?

190
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:57,536
You know, gambling is work.
I get hungry when I play bingo.

191
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:58,738
Could be the tension.

192
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:02,274
No, I don't cook for him.
But I run his bath, pay his bills.

193
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:05,645
Always have wine ready, and
fruit and cheese. That's what he likes.

194
00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:06,946
He adores...

195
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:09,815
Oh, my God!

196
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:21,861
Oh, Nick.

197
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:25,097
Oh, God.

198
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:29,135
Nick.

199
00:19:40,212 --> 00:19:41,847
Turned cold, didn't it?

200
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:51,023
So, you're saying
he wasn't always here?

201
00:19:51,123 --> 00:19:54,460
I already told you. He gambled here,
he gambled in Europe.

202
00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:55,761
He went back and forth.

203
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:58,030
Killed by a single shot in the chest.

204
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:01,867
No powder burns,
so he was not shot at close range.

205
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:05,604
We do have an exit wound in the back.

206
00:20:06,572 --> 00:20:09,208
Skin is still warm to the touch.
When was the shot?

207
00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:10,309
Call it 2:00.

208
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:13,279
2:00. Well, that's consistent
with the body temperature.

209
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,881
Let me see, it's now 2:30.

210
00:20:15,981 --> 00:20:18,317
Okay. Why not? Time of death, 2:00 a.m.

211
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:20,519
- Sergeant?
- Oh, Lieutenant.

212
00:20:20,619 --> 00:20:22,021
Yeah. What do you got?

213
00:20:22,288 --> 00:20:26,392
Somebody was robbing the place.
He came home, surprised them, they shot him.

214
00:20:26,492 --> 00:20:27,226
Right.

215
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:29,161
This is where he landed. The lights were off.

216
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:31,697
The house and car keys near the body.
He must have just come in.

217
00:20:31,797 --> 00:20:32,832
Right.

218
00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:35,901
There's some jewelry missing,
but they never got his money clip.

219
00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:38,037
- Is there any coffee around?
- Yeah. I'll get you some.

220
00:20:38,137 --> 00:20:40,806
You've gotta see his money clip.
He's got five grand in it.

221
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:42,975
I could use that coffee now.

222
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,212
Uh, Eddie!
Lieutenant would like some coffee.

223
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:48,147
Coffee flying in!

224
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:50,549
Here's the 5,000.
Now, they took other money,

225
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:54,086
I'll show you that evidence,
but they never took the...

226
00:20:54,186 --> 00:20:57,723
Oh, just, uh...
Just getting this for the shells.

227
00:20:58,357 --> 00:21:01,293
They never got the money clip
in his pocket.

228
00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:04,430
They must have really panicked
when they came in and just shot him and ran.

229
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:05,798
Right.

230
00:21:06,465 --> 00:21:09,201
He kept cash in the apartment, uh...

231
00:21:09,301 --> 00:21:10,903
Well, come on in the kitchen,
I'll show you.

232
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:14,540
This is where they broke in,
and he'd been robbed once before.

233
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:16,642
Could have been the same thieves.

234
00:21:18,377 --> 00:21:20,913
- They dumped money all over the place.
- Who found the body?

235
00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:24,016
The apartment manager
and Miss Lauren Staton.

236
00:21:24,583 --> 00:21:27,553
As they approached the apartment,
they heard the shot.

237
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:29,889
You looking for something, Lieutenant?

238
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:31,490
Orange juice.

239
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:33,359
There's nothing in there.
Maybe in the kitchen.

240
00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:36,162
Uh, this lady, what was she doing here?

241
00:21:36,262 --> 00:21:38,030
She was having an affair with the victim.

242
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:41,167
They were supposed to meet at 2:00.
What happened was, she got here first.

243
00:21:41,267 --> 00:21:43,903
She has a key but she forgot it,
so she went to the apartment manager,

244
00:21:44,003 --> 00:21:47,239
and while she was there, the deceased comes home,
enters his apartment, and bang, that was it.

245
00:21:47,339 --> 00:21:50,810
Bang, bang. Okay. Uh...

246
00:22:10,129 --> 00:22:13,532
Lieutenant, the people in the
adjoining apartments heard a shot,

247
00:22:13,632 --> 00:22:17,236
but only one saw anything.
Some guy running. It's very vague.

248
00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:20,806
Right. Okay. Uh...

249
00:22:20,906 --> 00:22:24,276
Eddie! Where's Eddie?
Where's my coffee?

250
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:27,246
- Eddie!
- Coming in on a dead run, sir.

251
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,050
Here you are, sir.
Sorry about the delay.

252
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:34,687
Uh, manager just told us
that he last saw the victim alive...

253
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:37,623
when he left his apartment
at 2:00 this afternoon.

254
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,626
He never came back until
2:00 tonight when he got shot.

255
00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:41,493
- Sugar?
- Ah.

256
00:22:41,594 --> 00:22:44,163
Lieutenant! I'm in here waiting for you!

257
00:22:44,263 --> 00:22:45,598
Coming.

258
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:49,001
Coming in on a dead run.

259
00:22:52,638 --> 00:22:56,942
Looks like he hid his cash in these.
Whoever robbed him was not fooled, though.

260
00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:59,178
- Right.
- You can tell it happened in a hurry.

261
00:22:59,278 --> 00:23:02,815
They left these $100 bills, and
this is exactly the way we found them.

262
00:23:02,915 --> 00:23:04,283
No juice?

263
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:07,286
- Whatever's in there, sir.
- Mmm-hmm.

264
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:10,122
The victim had a Rolex on.
They didn't take it.

265
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:14,627
This is an empty Piaget case,
so they must have taken this. When the...

266
00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:16,996
Are those pajamas?

267
00:23:19,365 --> 00:23:21,767
Oh, my goodness!

268
00:23:23,168 --> 00:23:26,605
You're right. Pajamas, yeah.

269
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:27,840
Come on in the bedroom.

270
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:30,609
I'll show you where they
emptied the contents of...

271
00:23:30,709 --> 00:23:34,413
a case of jewelry on the...
Nothing but cheap stuff.

272
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:38,217
Turned the room upside down, so I
assume they took anything of value.

273
00:23:38,317 --> 00:23:40,986
While you're in there,
you can look at his personal effects.

274
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,989
Hey, that box with the jewelry,
has that been fingerprinted yet?

275
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,292
I got it. It's been printed and tagged.

276
00:23:48,027 --> 00:23:50,095
Eddie! Where's Eddie? Eddie?

277
00:23:50,229 --> 00:23:52,831
More coffee, sir? Flying in.

278
00:23:54,199 --> 00:23:58,570
The victim was last seen leaving the apartment
at 2 o'clock this afternoon?

279
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:00,406
That's what the manager said.

280
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:02,608
And he didn't get back until 2:00 tonight?

281
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:03,976
That's what the manager said.

282
00:24:04,076 --> 00:24:05,077
Where's the manager?

283
00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:06,412
Across the hall.

284
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,520
It turned cold tonight. What time?

285
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:16,588
I noticed it around 10:00.

286
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:20,025
That's the end of sleep
for me, I can see that.

287
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,860
What time did Mr. Franco
leave the apartment today?

288
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:22,828
What?

289
00:24:23,062 --> 00:24:25,397
What time did Mr. Franco
leave the building?

290
00:24:25,497 --> 00:24:28,500
- 2:00. I already told the detective...
- How do you know?

291
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:30,336
I was standing out front.

292
00:24:30,436 --> 00:24:33,172
- How do you know the time?
- I just finished my lunch.

293
00:24:33,272 --> 00:24:35,908
Good. Was there anybody else
in the apartment?

294
00:24:36,008 --> 00:24:37,676
- When?
- Anytime.

295
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:38,644
The maid.

296
00:24:38,744 --> 00:24:40,846
- What time did she leave?
- 1 o'clock.

297
00:24:40,946 --> 00:24:41,613
How do you know?

298
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:44,416
She works in the morning.
When else is she gonna leave?

299
00:24:44,516 --> 00:24:45,818
Did he come home for supper?

300
00:24:45,918 --> 00:24:47,886
- No.
- How do you know?

301
00:24:47,987 --> 00:24:49,488
His car is never there.

302
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:51,056
He never comes home for supper?

303
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,625
Don't come home to eat. He's a bachelor.

304
00:24:53,726 --> 00:24:58,063
Leaves in the afternoon, gambles half the night away,
comes home to sleep!

305
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:04,436
Who's that?

306
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:08,640
The lady who came to see the deceased.
She's the one who was having the liaison.

307
00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:10,342
She's a knockout.

308
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:38,704
Excuse me, ma'am, my name is
Lieutenant Columbo.

309
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:40,672
Has someone spoken with you?

310
00:25:40,973 --> 00:25:44,343
There was a detective here,
but he got called away.

311
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:46,979
Well, let's see if I can
get you out of here.

312
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:56,355
What have you told the other detective?

313
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:58,323
Just that, uh,

314
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:01,660
I made an arrangement
to meet Nick here at 2:00,

315
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:03,762
and that I forgot my key.

316
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:06,932
Mr. Ruddick let me in,

317
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:09,802
and we were both in the corridor
when we heard the shots.

318
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:12,271
And we ran...

319
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:14,473
And the door...

320
00:26:16,475 --> 00:26:18,110
We opened the door,

321
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:22,214
and it was Nick, on the floor.

322
00:26:23,682 --> 00:26:25,050
I see.

323
00:26:25,651 --> 00:26:26,685
Um...

324
00:26:26,785 --> 00:26:30,189
Ma'am, would you prefer not having
your name released to the press?

325
00:26:30,522 --> 00:26:32,424
I hadn't thought of that...

326
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,229
No, it wasn't a secret about
Nick and me. There was nothing to hide.

327
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:38,697
My friends all knew about it.

328
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:42,101
In fact, I had a party at my home
this evening and Nick was there.

329
00:26:42,668 --> 00:26:45,270
Is that when you made plans
to meet here at 2:00?

330
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:48,974
Yes. Yeah, he had a poker game
and he couldn't stay.

331
00:26:49,074 --> 00:26:51,643
Um, that's how he made his living.

332
00:26:52,211 --> 00:26:54,046
He didn't want to go,

333
00:26:54,746 --> 00:26:56,281
but he had to.

334
00:27:00,552 --> 00:27:03,622
Take some of this, ma'am.
It'll warm you up.

335
00:27:03,722 --> 00:27:04,723
Thank you.

336
00:27:05,591 --> 00:27:09,895
Uh, if necessary, is there a telephone
number where we can reach you?

337
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:17,870
My secretary. Area code 213, 555-5334.

338
00:27:18,871 --> 00:27:20,806
They obviously went through his jewelry box.

339
00:27:20,906 --> 00:27:23,876
If I showed it to you,
could you tell what was missing?

340
00:27:24,877 --> 00:27:27,412
I think so. I'm very familiar.

341
00:27:28,247 --> 00:27:33,051
Listen, why don't we do that some other time?
Let's get you out of here.

342
00:27:34,052 --> 00:27:35,854
You've been through enough.

343
00:27:36,288 --> 00:27:39,024
Well, that's very nice of you,
Lieutenant. I appreciate that.

344
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:40,792
Uh...

345
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:44,129
You haven't touched the coffee, ma'am.
Did you want it?

346
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:46,965
Oh, I didn't realize...

347
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:49,201
No, thank you.

348
00:27:49,368 --> 00:27:53,672
Uh, we could have one of our men
drive you home, it's up to you.

349
00:27:53,772 --> 00:27:55,107
Thank you, I...

350
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:58,277
I can manage.

351
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:29,308
On my end, everything
went fine. Just perfect.

352
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:31,410
And the police? What about them?

353
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:33,445
No problem. Everything went just fine.

354
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:38,383
One detective, who was very considerate,
asked for a telephone number just in case.

355
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:40,886
Mmm.

356
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:48,827
Wait a minute. That's him.

357
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:52,331
It's the detective. He...

358
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:57,369
He's pouring water for a dog. A basset.

359
00:28:57,703 --> 00:28:59,037
What do you think he wants?

360
00:29:00,272 --> 00:29:04,977
It's probably about the missing jewelry.
I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about.

361
00:29:05,310 --> 00:29:07,646
On the radio, they said it was a robbery.

362
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:10,115
I watched the 7:00 a.m. news. Robbery.

363
00:29:10,449 --> 00:29:13,252
<i>Listen, I want to know
what the detective says.</i>

364
00:29:13,352 --> 00:29:14,486
<i>Will you call me later?</i>

365
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:17,656
Um, go back to your place.
I'll call from a payphone.

366
00:29:20,726 --> 00:29:25,230
Good morning, Lieutenant. Forgive the way I look.
I took a sedative, and I just got up.

367
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:27,032
You look just fine to me.

368
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,533
You're an easy audience.

369
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:31,737
Well, that's not the way
I see it, ma'am.

370
00:29:32,871 --> 00:29:34,673
You were very kind to me last night.

371
00:29:35,307 --> 00:29:38,610
Well, I understand what
you're going through, ma'am.

372
00:29:39,044 --> 00:29:40,912
It's been a nightmare.

373
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,149
But the world doesn't get me that easily.

374
00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:46,251
I'll make the funeral
arrangements. I'll do that.

375
00:29:46,351 --> 00:29:51,957
But I'm also gonna buy a new pair of shoes,
and I'm gonna have my hair done,

376
00:29:52,057 --> 00:29:54,593
and by the end of the day,
I'm gonna be spectacular.

377
00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:58,697
Sounds good to me, ma'am.
May I ask you a few questions?

378
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:01,967
- Do you mind if we go out on the patio?
- No, not at all.

379
00:30:04,436 --> 00:30:09,074
Ma'am, our procedure
in matters like this is to, uh...

380
00:30:10,175 --> 00:30:11,543
Uh, verify...

381
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:13,578
Ma'am, would you mind if I sat in the shade?

382
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:15,147
No, of course not.

383
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:17,816
Some people, you know,
they can take the sun. Not me.

384
00:30:17,916 --> 00:30:20,886
I start sweating,
it comes right out through my shirt.

385
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:26,024
But, mostly, in the feet.
I guess that's why I have such soft feet.

386
00:30:26,124 --> 00:30:28,427
Perspiration softens them up.

387
00:30:28,694 --> 00:30:30,962
Of course,
it's a little tough on the nose.

388
00:30:31,063 --> 00:30:34,766
Now, my wife, she likes the heat.
She's always cold.

389
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:37,269
It takes that woman
40 minutes to get in a pool.

390
00:30:37,369 --> 00:30:40,005
I'm exhausted from swimming,
and she's still...

391
00:30:40,105 --> 00:30:45,477
She hasn't gotten her knees wet yet.
I guess it's a question of natures.

392
00:30:46,244 --> 00:30:50,382
I have a warm nature,
and she has a cold nature.

393
00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:52,184
Or she has a circulation problem.

394
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:55,921
Ah, right, ma'am, she probably does.
Can that be cured?

395
00:30:56,021 --> 00:30:57,289
There's not much they can do about it.

396
00:30:57,389 --> 00:31:00,092
And I suppose you've seen
the best men in the field.

397
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:04,463
As a matter of fact, I have.
How did you know I had the problem?

398
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:06,164
Oh, I didn't, ma'am. I, uh...

399
00:31:06,264 --> 00:31:09,267
It was just that last night
I noticed you didn't drink your coffee.

400
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:13,638
You just used the cup to keep your hands warm.
And it reminded me of my wife.

401
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:18,944
Okay! All right, enough chitchat.
Better get down to business.

402
00:31:19,778 --> 00:31:23,115
Uh... Oh, ma'am,
does this bother you?

403
00:31:23,215 --> 00:31:24,649
Not at all. I like it.

404
00:31:25,650 --> 00:31:26,785
Oh!

405
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,055
That's good. Okay.

406
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:35,794
Uh, this report, ma'am, this is, uh...

407
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:39,531
This is for the Captain,
so it's gotta be right.

408
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:41,233
He's one tough guy.

409
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:43,201
I'm sure he is.

410
00:31:43,335 --> 00:31:47,706
We found an empty Piaget case, ma'am.
Mr. Franco, did he own a Piaget watch?

411
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:49,107
Yes, he did.

412
00:31:49,207 --> 00:31:50,742
- Expensive?
- Very.

413
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:54,045
Besides his Rolex, can you think of
anything else of value?

414
00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:58,116
I don't know of anything else
that was worth anything.

415
00:31:58,216 --> 00:31:59,484
Uh, you're sure of that, ma'am?

416
00:32:00,152 --> 00:32:01,953
Nothing comes to mind.

417
00:32:02,187 --> 00:32:06,758
Okay. All right. Uh...

418
00:32:07,492 --> 00:32:08,560
That does it!

419
00:32:08,794 --> 00:32:10,762
- Finished?
- Yeah. That's it.

420
00:32:12,063 --> 00:32:13,965
Can't think of anything else.

421
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:16,968
Now, thank you for the time, ma'am.

422
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:22,207
Uh, ma'am? Excuse me, do you
have anything for a headache?

423
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:23,575
Well, I'm sure we do.

424
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:25,143
Do you have aspirin?

425
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:27,212
Um... I don't know.

426
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:28,880
Well, I prefer aspirin, ma'am.

427
00:32:28,980 --> 00:32:30,916
Those other brands,
they don't seem to work for me.

428
00:32:31,016 --> 00:32:32,951
Well, I'm not sure exactly what we have,

429
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:35,320
but, uh, I'm sure we must
have something in the house.

430
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:37,255
Well, if you're not sure
what you have, don't bother.

431
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:40,859
I can pick something up at the drugstore.
But thank you anyway.

432
00:32:41,126 --> 00:32:42,727
I'll see you out.

433
00:32:46,364 --> 00:32:48,834
I have to tell you, ma'am,
that you have a...

434
00:32:48,934 --> 00:32:50,902
Oh, it's a beautiful house.

435
00:32:51,002 --> 00:32:53,505
And your foyer! Well, I mean,
it's the kind of thing...

436
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:57,576
that I've only seen in the movies.
It's, uh... It's really something.

437
00:32:59,211 --> 00:33:01,079
Nice sense of humor, ma'am.

438
00:33:02,714 --> 00:33:04,483
I like the cigar!

439
00:33:05,851 --> 00:33:10,522
Uh, if it'll make you feel any better, ma'am,
all your guests thought it was a lovely party.

440
00:33:10,622 --> 00:33:11,590
You spoke to my guests?

441
00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:16,194
We have to verify everyone's story.
We got their names from your secretary.

442
00:33:16,294 --> 00:33:17,762
In fact, one lady said,

443
00:33:17,863 --> 00:33:21,333
talking about the food
and the music and the guests,

444
00:33:21,433 --> 00:33:23,068
except for your headache,

445
00:33:25,437 --> 00:33:27,439
it was the perfect evening.

446
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:29,808
That's nice to hear.

447
00:33:31,243 --> 00:33:32,644
Good day, ma'am.

448
00:33:33,778 --> 00:33:36,047
Well, you know, he talked about
his wife's circulation...

449
00:33:36,147 --> 00:33:37,749
more than anything else.

450
00:33:38,383 --> 00:33:41,353
And about the case, all he wanted was
a description of the jewelry?

451
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:43,088
That's all he wanted.

452
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:44,956
<i>So, how long did he stay?</i>

453
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,359
Mmm, about 15 minutes.

454
00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:48,660
So you think we're all right?

455
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:54,366
As far as the case goes, we're rock-solid.
I'm sure he has no suspicions.

456
00:33:54,699 --> 00:34:00,038
It's just that there's something about him.
I can't put my finger on it.

457
00:34:01,306 --> 00:34:04,409
I'm not always sure what he's thinking.

458
00:34:07,212 --> 00:34:08,680
Does he want to see you again?

459
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:10,382
He didn't say.

460
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:13,618
I think he kind of likes me.

461
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:17,889
Okay.

462
00:34:53,658 --> 00:34:55,827
You startled me!

463
00:34:56,561 --> 00:34:59,064
How did you know I was here?

464
00:34:59,164 --> 00:35:02,033
Well, I called your secretary,
ma'am, she told me.

465
00:35:03,168 --> 00:35:05,503
Oh, she did? I see.

466
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,738
Oh, I hope you don't mind.

467
00:35:06,838 --> 00:35:08,206
No. Why do you think I'd mind?

468
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:09,975
Oh, I thought you sounded irritated.

469
00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:11,977
No! No. I don't mind talking to you.

470
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:15,780
I do mind being taken by surprise.
Yes, that annoys me.

471
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:19,951
You should ask first.
Now, how can I help you?

472
00:35:20,051 --> 00:35:24,089
Well, there, you see, I do like
that about you. You're levelheaded.

473
00:35:24,189 --> 00:35:25,624
I'm sorry. I don't follow you.

474
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:28,226
Well, other people,
when I show up unexpectedly,

475
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,028
right away, they're all excited.

476
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:35,033
"Oh, boy, good news! He caught
the killer. The case is solved."

477
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:38,203
You understand it's not so easy.

478
00:35:38,303 --> 00:35:41,940
I'm not naive, Lieutenant.
I do appreciate how difficult your job is.

479
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,076
Well, that's what I mean.
I wish there were more people like you.

480
00:35:45,176 --> 00:35:48,713
I wouldn't feel such pressure.
I wouldn't feel under such stress.

481
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,916
I have to buy some shoes, Lieutenant.
Do you mind if we walk and talk?

482
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:53,218
No, not at all.

483
00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:57,822
What is it that you want?

484
00:35:57,922 --> 00:36:00,692
Well, I'm making out my report,

485
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:04,029
and there's one point in your story
I'd like to clear up.

486
00:36:04,129 --> 00:36:06,331
Now, you said that Mr. Franco told you...

487
00:36:06,431 --> 00:36:09,934
that he had to leave your party to
go play poker, right?

488
00:36:10,135 --> 00:36:10,802
Right.

489
00:36:11,069 --> 00:36:14,773
Now, we checked with the men
that he usually plays poker with,

490
00:36:14,873 --> 00:36:19,811
and they play every Monday and Friday night,
so there was no game last night.

491
00:36:20,712 --> 00:36:24,015
So I thought, well, maybe you
were confused about what he said,

492
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:25,483
you know, the shock and all,

493
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:30,155
and, uh, maybe you wanted to
change your story on that point.

494
00:36:30,388 --> 00:36:33,158
Maybe it was some other kind of game?

495
00:36:34,325 --> 00:36:36,961
You know, maybe it was.

496
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:39,964
I mean, yes, maybe he said
he was gonna play gin.

497
00:36:40,065 --> 00:36:41,332
I see.

498
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:45,336
Well, there was a gin game
last night among his friends,

499
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:47,872
but he wasn't there.

500
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,509
Well, I'm not sure what he said.

501
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:54,345
I see. All right.

502
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:57,882
But you were disappointed when
he told you he had to leave the party.

503
00:36:57,982 --> 00:37:01,820
Yes, I was very disappointed.
I wanted him there very much.

504
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,857
You wanted him there very much
and he explained why he had to leave,

505
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:10,028
but you're not sure what he said.
You can see, ma'am, where...

506
00:37:11,996 --> 00:37:14,632
That's just not gonna
look too good on the report.

507
00:37:17,135 --> 00:37:19,204
You know what else doesn't look very good?

508
00:37:19,537 --> 00:37:20,405
What?

509
00:37:21,005 --> 00:37:23,608
Your tie. It doesn't look good.

510
00:37:23,708 --> 00:37:25,243
- What's the matter with it?
- Mmm...

511
00:37:25,343 --> 00:37:28,213
Well, it's green, goes with brown...

512
00:37:28,313 --> 00:37:30,749
No. I'm gonna buy you a new tie.

513
00:37:30,949 --> 00:37:32,817
No, this tie is for older men
and you're not old.

514
00:37:32,917 --> 00:37:34,753
Why do you want to appear old?

515
00:37:35,019 --> 00:37:40,158
What I should do is buy you a whole new suit,
but I don't know you well enough for that.

516
00:37:40,525 --> 00:37:42,026
Maybe someday.

517
00:37:43,394 --> 00:37:44,596
Already you look better.

518
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:49,000
Now, let's find you a proper tie.

519
00:37:51,035 --> 00:37:53,271
- Uh, you know, ma'am...
- Mmm-hmm?

520
00:37:53,371 --> 00:37:55,306
Maybe he did say poker.

521
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:57,675
Yes, maybe he did.

522
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:01,913
Here! I think this one has some life.

523
00:38:02,914 --> 00:38:06,818
You know, they're kind of tough down
at headquarters about accepting bribes.

524
00:38:07,185 --> 00:38:09,320
Well, I understand,
but this is strictly entre nous.

525
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:13,758
Right. So, uh, what I'll do,
ma'am, is, uh...

526
00:38:13,858 --> 00:38:16,461
- I'm gonna put down poker.
- Hmm.

527
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,097
I'm taking this tie.

528
00:38:19,197 --> 00:38:21,833
Put down whatever you think best.
Anything else?

529
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:25,103
Uh, no, not at all. Um...

530
00:38:26,504 --> 00:38:28,273
Could I have my old tie back?

531
00:38:28,373 --> 00:38:29,774
I'm sorry.

532
00:38:30,975 --> 00:38:33,511
Okay, so, uh...

533
00:38:33,611 --> 00:38:37,148
I want to thank you for the gift,
and I want to thank you for your help.

534
00:38:37,549 --> 00:38:40,585
Don't mention it. I enjoyed doing it.

535
00:38:41,753 --> 00:38:43,054
Uh...

536
00:38:43,288 --> 00:38:45,323
I would never do that to you.

537
00:38:46,291 --> 00:38:47,058
What?

538
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:49,394
I would never lie to you.

539
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:53,431
If I wasn't gonna play poker,
I would tell you the truth.

540
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:04,809
I think we have to meet.

541
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:06,811
Are you sure we should do that?

542
00:39:06,911 --> 00:39:08,680
It's important now.

543
00:39:09,747 --> 00:39:10,815
Anything happen?

544
00:39:11,382 --> 00:39:13,151
Nothing I can't manage.

545
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:17,355
What time?

546
00:39:17,789 --> 00:39:18,823
Half-hour.

547
00:39:20,158 --> 00:39:21,392
I love you.

548
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:23,561
Love you.

549
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:49,520
Are we all right?

550
00:39:49,988 --> 00:39:51,389
Yes, we're alone.

551
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:54,058
If someone comes...

552
00:39:54,158 --> 00:39:55,793
I'll close this door.

553
00:39:55,894 --> 00:39:56,794
Right.

554
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:01,299
I want to be absolutely certain...

555
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,003
that there's no way
to connect you to Nick.

556
00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:07,972
How many times do we have to
go through this?

557
00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:10,575
You've never been to his apartment?

558
00:40:10,675 --> 00:40:11,809
Never.

559
00:40:12,210 --> 00:40:14,245
Have you ever been
on this side of the mountain?

560
00:40:14,479 --> 00:40:18,349
No. He was very careful with me.
He was probably afraid you'd find out.

561
00:40:18,783 --> 00:40:21,519
Have you ever run into
anybody who knew him?

562
00:40:21,619 --> 00:40:22,287
No.

563
00:40:22,387 --> 00:40:25,690
No bartender, or waiter who could
remember seeing you together?

564
00:40:26,791 --> 00:40:29,127
No one knows me in Los Angeles.

565
00:40:29,227 --> 00:40:32,263
I've only been here for 10 days.
We never went to the same place twice.

566
00:40:33,064 --> 00:40:35,433
I have no friends here. I speak to no one.

567
00:40:43,508 --> 00:40:45,643
I think you should go back to Rome.

568
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,748
Is that why we're meeting?

569
00:40:51,015 --> 00:40:52,850
I really think you should.

570
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:55,753
But, why? What's happened?

571
00:40:58,056 --> 00:41:01,125
The detective.
His name is Columbo. He's, uh...

572
00:41:01,225 --> 00:41:04,429
He's asking more questions than he should.

573
00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:06,297
Like what?

574
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:10,335
Well, he suspects Nick lied to me last night...

575
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,137
when he said he was
leaving the party to play poker.

576
00:41:13,671 --> 00:41:17,208
Well, he was lying, we know that.

577
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:19,644
But so does Mr. Columbo.

578
00:41:21,045 --> 00:41:22,380
And so what if he knows?

579
00:41:22,914 --> 00:41:26,050
He said it in such a strange way.
He said, um,

580
00:41:26,351 --> 00:41:29,921
"I would never do that to you.
I would never lie to you.

581
00:41:30,455 --> 00:41:32,890
If I wasn't gonna play poker,

582
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:35,827
I'd tell you the truth."

583
00:41:37,929 --> 00:41:41,566
Well, it sounds like he likes you.
I mean, isn't that what you thought?

584
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:44,969
Well, I did buy him a tie.

585
00:41:46,904 --> 00:41:49,007
- You didn't.
- I did.

586
00:41:50,942 --> 00:41:51,976
Did he like it?

587
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:55,713
He liked that I bought it.
Men like that.

588
00:41:56,381 --> 00:41:58,516
I did it on impulse. Uh...

589
00:41:58,616 --> 00:42:02,420
I feel, as a precaution,
I should be very sweet to him.

590
00:42:03,421 --> 00:42:09,394
If a beautiful woman plays her cards right,
she'll usually get what she wants.

591
00:42:12,797 --> 00:42:14,499
I don't want to leave you.

592
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,268
Not yet.

593
00:42:19,604 --> 00:42:20,938
Can't we wait on Rome?

594
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:26,477
It's just that I'm not sure
what he's thinking.

595
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:34,485
All right, we'll wait.

596
00:42:36,988 --> 00:42:37,655
Ciao.

597
00:42:38,656 --> 00:42:39,690
Ciao.

598
00:43:09,187 --> 00:43:10,988
Are you through with this pile?

599
00:43:11,122 --> 00:43:13,091
- What pile?
- This pile.

600
00:43:13,191 --> 00:43:16,294
With the insurance policy,
the will, bank statement...

601
00:43:16,394 --> 00:43:17,361
Yeah.

602
00:43:18,496 --> 00:43:20,398
No big clue there, huh?

603
00:43:20,565 --> 00:43:21,666
No.

604
00:43:23,801 --> 00:43:26,104
What about this pile, the bills?

605
00:43:26,804 --> 00:43:27,872
What bills?

606
00:43:27,972 --> 00:43:29,207
The bills!

607
00:43:29,807 --> 00:43:33,845
The laundry bill, the drugstore bill,
the auto-repair bill,

608
00:43:34,112 --> 00:43:37,748
the golf-club bill,
the rent bill, the electricity bill,

609
00:43:37,849 --> 00:43:42,787
gentlemen's clothing store bill,
credit card bill...

610
00:43:43,221 --> 00:43:44,489
What are you looking for?

611
00:43:44,589 --> 00:43:45,923
Jam.

612
00:43:47,058 --> 00:43:49,360
I'll be in the living room when you're ready.

613
00:43:49,494 --> 00:43:51,162
Any other bills?

614
00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:52,730
Credit-card bill.

615
00:43:52,830 --> 00:43:53,831
You said that.

616
00:43:53,931 --> 00:43:56,667
Uh... Cheese shop bill.

617
00:43:56,767 --> 00:43:59,770
And finally, the wine shop bill.

618
00:43:59,871 --> 00:44:01,038
That's all the bills?

619
00:44:01,372 --> 00:44:03,908
That's all the bills!

620
00:44:05,776 --> 00:44:07,245
Where's the telephone bill?

621
00:44:07,411 --> 00:44:09,046
Uh... I don't know.

622
00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:11,482
What's the telephone number here?

623
00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:15,052
555-5234.

624
00:44:15,219 --> 00:44:16,888
Call the telephone company.

625
00:44:20,625 --> 00:44:21,492
It's dead.

626
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:23,761
It's dead?

627
00:44:24,929 --> 00:44:26,197
Hey, the guy's dead.

628
00:44:26,297 --> 00:44:29,734
Super doesn't wanna pay the bill,
so he shuts off the phone.

629
00:44:30,868 --> 00:44:32,503
That's what I would do.

630
00:44:32,904 --> 00:44:36,174
You already got raisins on that
peanut butter. You gonna put jam on?

631
00:44:36,474 --> 00:44:37,875
You've never had it that way?

632
00:44:37,975 --> 00:44:40,111
No. And if there's a God, I never will.

633
00:44:40,278 --> 00:44:42,313
Phone was disconnected yesterday.

634
00:44:42,413 --> 00:44:44,715
We already know that. He did it.

635
00:44:44,815 --> 00:44:46,117
However,

636
00:44:46,751 --> 00:44:49,687
the number was disconnected 10 days ago.

637
00:44:49,787 --> 00:44:52,423
You mean to tell me that 555...

638
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:56,827
...5234 was disconnected 10 days ago.

639
00:44:57,461 --> 00:44:59,764
Well, the man had to have a phone.

640
00:45:01,265 --> 00:45:04,802
- You did say Nicholas. Nicholas Franco.
- Yes, Nicholas Franco.

641
00:45:04,902 --> 00:45:05,870
We have no record.

642
00:45:06,103 --> 00:45:07,638
Ma'am, there has to be a record.

643
00:45:08,005 --> 00:45:13,978
We have a Nicholas Franco
at P.O. Box 939, Beverly Hills.

644
00:45:14,278 --> 00:45:18,683
P.O. Box? When was that account started?

645
00:45:20,017 --> 00:45:21,185
Ten days ago.

646
00:45:21,285 --> 00:45:23,721
Did he have a previous number?

647
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:29,961
Area code 213, 555-5234.

648
00:45:30,328 --> 00:45:35,800
555-5234. Okay!

649
00:45:36,334 --> 00:45:37,969
Do you have a record...

650
00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:41,572
of the individual telephone
numbers that were called...

651
00:45:41,672 --> 00:45:43,241
during this 10 days?

652
00:45:43,341 --> 00:45:44,742
Well, they're all to the same number.

653
00:45:44,842 --> 00:45:46,477
Wonderful. How many?

654
00:45:46,711 --> 00:45:48,746
- Twelve.
- Twelve!

655
00:45:49,013 --> 00:45:50,081
What's the number?

656
00:45:50,381 --> 00:45:54,051
Area code 818, 555-7247.

657
00:45:54,285 --> 00:45:58,322
May I have the name and address
of the person attached to that number?

658
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:01,359
Yes, you may.

659
00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:04,895
Ordering.

660
00:46:05,196 --> 00:46:06,430
Where'd you get the tie?

661
00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:07,898
It was a gift.

662
00:46:08,532 --> 00:46:09,667
Why are you wearing it?

663
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:11,302
I got my reasons.

664
00:46:11,602 --> 00:46:12,570
Who gave it to you?

665
00:46:12,803 --> 00:46:14,105
A beautiful woman.

666
00:46:14,939 --> 00:46:16,407
Who?

667
00:46:16,741 --> 00:46:18,643
She's making a play for me.

668
00:46:19,043 --> 00:46:21,112
Wonderful. Wonderful!

669
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:25,082
But I'm supposed to be investigating her.
Maybe she broke the law.

670
00:46:25,816 --> 00:46:27,752
So what's the problem?

671
00:46:28,185 --> 00:46:30,521
Why can't you enjoy yourself
while you're investigating?

672
00:46:31,188 --> 00:46:33,424
You think that's the right thing to do?

673
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:36,594
Listen, she knows what she's doing.

674
00:46:37,161 --> 00:46:42,333
She has her motives. You know,
you're not exactly Robert Redford.

675
00:46:44,035 --> 00:46:46,470
I'm not even sure if she did anything,

676
00:46:47,338 --> 00:46:49,940
but why would she be making a play for me?

677
00:46:50,308 --> 00:46:55,046
Well, we shall see what we shall see.

678
00:47:02,586 --> 00:47:05,556
Wash and comb-out, Miss Staton, $75.

679
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:07,391
I heard about last night.

680
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:09,927
I know how you must feel.
Oh, you have all my sympathies.

681
00:47:10,027 --> 00:47:12,663
That's sweet of you, Maggie,
but I'm not gonna live in the past.

682
00:47:12,763 --> 00:47:14,098
I refuse.

683
00:47:19,804 --> 00:47:21,272
Lieutenant!

684
00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:25,643
What brings you here?
Good news? Case solved?

685
00:47:25,743 --> 00:47:27,978
You caught the killers? What?

686
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:29,180
You're pulling my leg.

687
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,549
No, I missed you. You know,

688
00:47:31,649 --> 00:47:33,951
it's been three-and-a-half hours.
I can't stand the separation.

689
00:47:34,051 --> 00:47:36,087
As a matter of fact,
I called you at the funeral home,

690
00:47:36,187 --> 00:47:39,123
you'd just left. They told me you were here.

691
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:42,927
Uh... Got something for you.

692
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:46,630
You remembered the photograph.

693
00:47:47,131 --> 00:47:50,868
You're something. Thanks.
But I don't smoke them.

694
00:47:51,102 --> 00:47:52,269
Okay.

695
00:47:52,370 --> 00:47:54,839
Listen, I'm still wrestling
with this report.

696
00:47:54,939 --> 00:47:57,441
- You gotta help me.
- Okay. Yes.

697
00:47:57,708 --> 00:47:59,443
I spoke to the manager,

698
00:47:59,543 --> 00:48:04,315
and he tells me that Mr. Franco
was an obsessively neat man. True?

699
00:48:04,648 --> 00:48:05,383
Yes.

700
00:48:05,483 --> 00:48:09,220
He also tells me that the maid that cleaned
yesterday is a conscientious worker.

701
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,621
Is that accurate?

702
00:48:10,721 --> 00:48:14,091
Well, his apartment
was always very clean and orderly...

703
00:48:14,692 --> 00:48:18,796
Well, now, here's the problem.
I looked at Mr. Franco's refrigerator.

704
00:48:18,896 --> 00:48:20,131
The small one in the bar?

705
00:48:20,531 --> 00:48:22,600
- Mmm.
- It was spotless.

706
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:27,238
The maid said she cleaned it that morning.
I believe her, it was gleaming white.

707
00:48:27,838 --> 00:48:32,843
The only problem was,
the drip pan was one-third full of water.

708
00:48:33,444 --> 00:48:37,615
So, naturally, you ask yourself,
"Why didn't she clean the drip pan?"

709
00:48:37,715 --> 00:48:41,919
Unless... Wait a minute,
wait a minute. Unless,

710
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,155
sometime after she cleaned it,

711
00:48:44,255 --> 00:48:47,892
for some reason the electricity
went off and the ice melted.

712
00:48:48,793 --> 00:48:51,495
That would account for the water.
What do you think?

713
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:54,231
I haven't the foggiest idea.

714
00:48:54,331 --> 00:48:56,767
Now, the electricity worked fine...

715
00:48:56,867 --> 00:49:00,438
when you arrived with the
apartment manager at 2:00 at night.

716
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:02,072
You like it, don't you?

717
00:49:02,740 --> 00:49:04,208
- Oh, the tie?
- Mmm-hmm.

718
00:49:04,308 --> 00:49:07,912
Ah, it's a little strange,
but, uh, I wanted to please you.

719
00:49:08,879 --> 00:49:13,184
So, that means that, uh,
the electricity went off...

720
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:16,687
sometime between the time
that she cleaned it that day...

721
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:18,122
and 2:00 at night.

722
00:49:18,222 --> 00:49:20,391
Do you mind if I adjust this
just a tiny bit?

723
00:49:20,791 --> 00:49:22,560
Not at all. Go ahead.

724
00:49:24,261 --> 00:49:28,199
But who turned off the electricity?

725
00:49:28,299 --> 00:49:31,469
Did they want the fridge off?
The TV off?

726
00:49:31,569 --> 00:49:34,472
The lights not to work?
What do you think?

727
00:49:34,939 --> 00:49:36,073
You want me to be honest?

728
00:49:37,441 --> 00:49:40,578
I'm more interested in that hat.

729
00:49:41,445 --> 00:49:44,114
Oh. Right.

730
00:49:47,351 --> 00:49:50,721
You know, as a cop, my instincts
would lean toward having the lights off,

731
00:49:50,821 --> 00:49:53,858
but who's to say?
There's so many appliances.

732
00:49:53,958 --> 00:49:56,627
Wait a minute, what am I talking about?

733
00:49:56,727 --> 00:50:00,664
According to the apartment manager,
there was no one in the apartment...

734
00:50:00,764 --> 00:50:03,467
till Mr. Franco came home at 2:00 at night.

735
00:50:03,767 --> 00:50:05,269
No one was there?

736
00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:06,871
Well, that's what he said.

737
00:50:06,971 --> 00:50:10,140
Well, if no one was there,
then no one could've...

738
00:50:10,241 --> 00:50:11,809
The manager could've been wrong.

739
00:50:11,909 --> 00:50:15,012
Right. Wrong, or right.

740
00:50:15,713 --> 00:50:19,984
Right. I got a feeling we're
going in circles here.

741
00:50:24,788 --> 00:50:28,058
You know, why don't you
just say that the maid overlooked it?

742
00:50:28,158 --> 00:50:29,793
It could happen, you know.

743
00:50:34,598 --> 00:50:39,770
Right, it could.
I'm gonna just say she missed it.

744
00:50:40,104 --> 00:50:44,575
That's what I'm gonna tell the boss.
She just missed it. Finished. Done.

745
00:50:44,909 --> 00:50:46,176
Uh, Miss Staton?

746
00:50:49,380 --> 00:50:50,447
Miss Staton?

747
00:50:50,548 --> 00:50:51,949
Over here!

748
00:50:57,888 --> 00:50:59,356
What do you think? Do you like it?

749
00:50:59,456 --> 00:51:01,692
Oh, that's a knockout.

750
00:51:01,792 --> 00:51:04,695
What is that there?
Is that a flower in the corner?

751
00:51:04,795 --> 00:51:06,030
No. That's, uh...

752
00:51:06,130 --> 00:51:08,766
I think it's some kind of a bird or...

753
00:51:09,433 --> 00:51:10,668
Hold this.

754
00:51:14,138 --> 00:51:16,974
Would you be very angry
if I did that again?

755
00:51:18,609 --> 00:51:21,045
Do it again, I'll let you know.

756
00:51:23,681 --> 00:51:26,650
Do you ever drink in the afternoon?

757
00:51:27,484 --> 00:51:31,722
No, but I do in the evening.

758
00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:38,028
We'll do that.

759
00:51:38,128 --> 00:51:39,997
And later, we can get a bite to eat.

760
00:51:56,580 --> 00:51:58,949
Ticket, please, ma'am. Thank you.

761
00:52:01,318 --> 00:52:02,653
Just one more thing.

762
00:52:05,856 --> 00:52:07,291
What is it, Lieutenant?

763
00:52:07,391 --> 00:52:09,994
Well, it's tiny,
but I have to ask these things.

764
00:52:13,197 --> 00:52:14,298
What's your first name?

765
00:52:14,898 --> 00:52:15,899
Lieutenant.

766
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:18,369
Lieutenant.

767
00:52:19,036 --> 00:52:22,740
You don't have to explain. I understand.
It's your job.

768
00:52:23,641 --> 00:52:25,075
How can I help?

769
00:52:25,175 --> 00:52:26,510
Can you pull up?

770
00:52:30,481 --> 00:52:33,350
About last night, when you went
to Nick's apartment...

771
00:52:33,450 --> 00:52:35,886
And believe me, this is not important.

772
00:52:36,487 --> 00:52:40,958
I'm merely trying to pin down
how you knew that Nick wasn't home.

773
00:52:43,927 --> 00:52:45,996
I'm sorry. I didn't hear what you said.

774
00:52:46,096 --> 00:52:49,833
Um, last night, how you knew that Nick
wasn't in his apartment.

775
00:52:49,933 --> 00:52:53,671
I assume that before you called
the apartment manager,

776
00:52:53,771 --> 00:52:55,839
you buzzed Nick's apartment, right?

777
00:52:55,939 --> 00:52:58,976
And there was no answer.
Is that how you knew?

778
00:52:59,143 --> 00:53:01,078
- No.
- No?

779
00:53:01,812 --> 00:53:05,082
No. Oh, I didn't buzz Nick's apartment.

780
00:53:05,249 --> 00:53:09,219
You didn't?
Well, how did you know he wasn't there?

781
00:53:09,787 --> 00:53:11,755
Well, his car wasn't in the garage.

782
00:53:11,955 --> 00:53:14,892
Oh, but it's such a big garage.
How could you be sure?

783
00:53:15,092 --> 00:53:18,095
No, but I parked in his space. It was empty.

784
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:20,931
Oh, you parked in his space!

785
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:23,467
Oh, that's how you knew!

786
00:53:23,567 --> 00:53:25,235
Okay!

787
00:53:26,303 --> 00:53:30,474
But then, when Nick came home,

788
00:53:32,276 --> 00:53:34,645
he would have seen your car.

789
00:53:35,779 --> 00:53:36,947
Yeah, I guess he would. Yes.

790
00:53:37,681 --> 00:53:39,483
Well, that's funny, then.

791
00:53:39,583 --> 00:53:40,951
- Hmm.
- What?

792
00:53:41,485 --> 00:53:46,123
If he thought you were in the apartment,
why would he let himself in with his keys?

793
00:53:46,757 --> 00:53:50,194
Well, I would think, Lieutenant,
that, uh, he rang the bell,

794
00:53:50,294 --> 00:53:52,796
and because I was with
the manager, no one answered,

795
00:53:52,896 --> 00:53:54,965
and so he let himself in with his key.

796
00:53:55,099 --> 00:53:58,235
Oh, right. You were with
the manager. Right.

797
00:53:58,335 --> 00:54:02,306
So he rang and rang, and then...

798
00:54:02,806 --> 00:54:06,744
Yeah, but the trouble with that is,
that ringing would've warned the thieves...

799
00:54:06,844 --> 00:54:08,112
and they would've run out.

800
00:54:09,513 --> 00:54:11,782
Well, maybe it did,

801
00:54:12,349 --> 00:54:15,285
but they didn't have enough time
to get all the way out.

802
00:54:15,552 --> 00:54:17,755
Oh, okay. I see what you're saying.

803
00:54:17,855 --> 00:54:23,360
In other words, they started to run,
but he came in too fast. Right.

804
00:54:23,694 --> 00:54:28,766
Okay. Uh... No, no good. You see,
the problem with that is,

805
00:54:28,866 --> 00:54:33,370
the direction of the bullet
that shot him came from his left,

806
00:54:33,470 --> 00:54:37,040
from someone standing
in the hallway that led to the bedroom.

807
00:54:37,141 --> 00:54:40,677
If the thieves were running out
and they shot him,

808
00:54:40,778 --> 00:54:46,283
the bullet would have come from the direction of
the sliding glass doors that lead to the patio.

809
00:54:46,884 --> 00:54:50,721
Oh, I tell you.
I don't know, this case, it's...

810
00:54:51,221 --> 00:54:55,959
It has me stumped.
I got a million questions...

811
00:54:56,059 --> 00:54:59,229
Why don't you just give it a rest?
Stop worrying it.

812
00:54:59,530 --> 00:55:01,498
- Yeah.
- Hmm.

813
00:55:02,466 --> 00:55:04,468
- See you tonight?
- Right.

814
00:55:04,668 --> 00:55:06,136
- 8:00.
- Yeah.

815
00:55:09,473 --> 00:55:11,742
I just left him. We kissed.

816
00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:14,511
No.

817
00:55:14,611 --> 00:55:18,182
Yes! I'll do anything. Charm him,
seduce him.

818
00:55:18,282 --> 00:55:20,350
I'll even run off for
a weekend in Mexico with him.

819
00:55:20,951 --> 00:55:21,952
And did he ask you?

820
00:55:22,052 --> 00:55:23,187
<i>Not yet.</i>

821
00:55:24,721 --> 00:55:25,689
Aren't you worried?

822
00:55:25,789 --> 00:55:29,159
No. It's such a strange situation.

823
00:55:29,259 --> 00:55:33,797
He's fun to be with.
I like him. I really like him.

824
00:55:33,897 --> 00:55:36,834
And you know what? He likes me.

825
00:55:37,134 --> 00:55:39,703
And if I play
my cards right, which I will,

826
00:55:39,803 --> 00:55:42,973
there'll come a time when
he'll be more interested in me...

827
00:55:43,073 --> 00:55:44,508
than his investigation.

828
00:55:44,808 --> 00:55:47,244
Look, I just want
this whole thing to be over soon.

829
00:55:48,312 --> 00:55:49,446
Do you think it will be?

830
00:55:49,546 --> 00:55:51,715
I do. Yes, I do.

831
00:55:52,149 --> 00:55:54,785
In a few more days,
I'm sure he'll drop it.

832
00:58:02,245 --> 00:58:04,114
Lieutenant Columbo to see Miss Staton.

833
00:58:04,214 --> 00:58:05,482
Please, come in.

834
00:58:08,318 --> 00:58:09,920
I'll let Miss Staton know
that you're here to see her.

835
00:58:10,020 --> 00:58:11,822
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.

836
00:58:40,150 --> 00:58:42,019
Nick did have charm.

837
00:58:42,753 --> 00:58:46,456
I remember us girls playing cards with him.
I mean, not for money, just for fun.

838
00:58:46,556 --> 00:58:50,093
He kept us laughing all night.
He was so easy...

839
00:58:50,193 --> 00:58:53,130
Show him into the den.
I'll be right there.

840
00:58:54,064 --> 00:58:57,200
He was letting us win.
We didn't know it, but he was...

841
00:59:01,271 --> 00:59:03,907
You've come to tell me
you can't make it tonight.

842
00:59:04,007 --> 00:59:06,109
Oh, no!

843
00:59:09,780 --> 00:59:12,983
You've come to tell me,
"There's one more thing."

844
00:59:13,884 --> 00:59:15,085
That's a yes.

845
00:59:17,888 --> 00:59:19,089
What is it?

846
00:59:21,992 --> 00:59:23,226
I brought you something.

847
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,128
A violin?

848
00:59:25,462 --> 00:59:30,333
Well... You'll see.
Why don't you close those blinds?

849
00:59:38,275 --> 00:59:41,812
No, I changed my mind. I'm gonna
do it this way. I'm gonna leave,

850
00:59:42,412 --> 00:59:45,048
and if you have any questions
when you open this,

851
00:59:45,148 --> 00:59:46,683
you call me at headquarters.

852
00:59:48,051 --> 00:59:49,319
All right.

853
00:59:53,824 --> 00:59:55,525
We still on for tonight?

854
00:59:56,460 --> 00:59:57,727
Oh!

855
00:59:58,495 --> 00:59:59,763
Yeah.

856
01:00:10,140 --> 01:00:14,111
Lieutenant! They're beautiful!

857
01:00:34,698 --> 01:00:35,932
To you.

858
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:37,734
To you.

859
01:00:44,841 --> 01:00:46,376
What about us?

860
01:00:48,445 --> 01:00:49,746
What about us?

861
01:00:50,413 --> 01:00:51,448
Well...

862
01:00:52,282 --> 01:00:53,984
Well, we both have a problem.

863
01:00:54,518 --> 01:00:56,386
Your problem is your report.

864
01:00:57,454 --> 01:00:58,922
You want it to be good...

865
01:00:59,022 --> 01:01:01,324
and you don't want to be
scolded by your captain.

866
01:01:02,926 --> 01:01:05,562
My problem is you.

867
01:01:06,429 --> 01:01:08,198
I'm attracted to you.

868
01:01:08,698 --> 01:01:10,567
A nice head of hair.

869
01:01:11,301 --> 01:01:12,435
Now,

870
01:01:12,969 --> 01:01:15,205
I promise I'll help you
with your problem...

871
01:01:15,305 --> 01:01:17,174
if you'll help me with mine.

872
01:01:17,874 --> 01:01:20,577
And to show you what a good sport I am,

873
01:01:21,278 --> 01:01:23,146
we'll work on your problem first.

874
01:01:23,246 --> 01:01:27,684
Well, it's not easy,
but I'll accept your terms.

875
01:01:27,784 --> 01:01:28,618
Fine.

876
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,156
There's just one thing
I want to do before we start.

877
01:01:38,795 --> 01:01:40,330
I had to do that.

878
01:01:40,564 --> 01:01:43,967
You know what they say.
Cold hands, warm heart.

879
01:01:44,201 --> 01:01:45,302
Where you going?

880
01:01:45,802 --> 01:01:48,738
Uh, we have work to do. I'm, um...

881
01:01:48,838 --> 01:01:51,708
trying to control myself.
Now, that's better.

882
01:01:52,943 --> 01:01:54,244
How can I help you?

883
01:01:55,979 --> 01:01:58,915
Well, if some thieves
were robbing an apartment...

884
01:01:59,115 --> 01:01:59,916
Mmm-hmm.

885
01:02:00,350 --> 01:02:04,754
Why would they take time off from their work
to turn on the heat?

886
01:02:05,288 --> 01:02:06,556
I don't know, why would they?

887
01:02:06,656 --> 01:02:07,791
They wouldn't.

888
01:02:08,592 --> 01:02:11,895
- So, what's the point?
- If they didn't, who did?

889
01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:17,701
Who did what?

890
01:02:19,035 --> 01:02:20,770
Who turned on the heat?

891
01:02:22,939 --> 01:02:25,008
Are we talking about Nick's apartment?

892
01:02:25,642 --> 01:02:26,843
Yes.

893
01:02:27,077 --> 01:02:28,678
Okay. So, what's the question?

894
01:02:30,714 --> 01:02:32,515
Who turned on the heat?

895
01:02:34,551 --> 01:02:35,518
Beats me.

896
01:02:35,986 --> 01:02:37,754
You fooled me.

897
01:02:39,189 --> 01:02:43,026
I thought you were gonna ask me
how did I know that the heat was turned on.

898
01:02:43,693 --> 01:02:45,028
You want me to ask you that?

899
01:02:47,464 --> 01:02:49,899
How did you know the heat was turned on?

900
01:02:50,267 --> 01:02:55,905
When Nick left the apartment in the afternoon,
it was 98 degrees outside.

901
01:02:56,006 --> 01:02:58,341
So the heat had to be turned off.

902
01:02:59,209 --> 01:03:04,748
But when Nick came home at 2:00 in the morning,
it was 55 degrees outside.

903
01:03:05,348 --> 01:03:09,219
But the thermostat
in the apartment read 72 degrees.

904
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:15,325
So someone had to have been in the apartment
and turned the heat on.

905
01:03:18,728 --> 01:03:20,730
Here's my suggestion.

906
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:25,602
You could find all
the people in Los Angeles...

907
01:03:25,702 --> 01:03:29,639
who had a circulation problem and
were susceptible to the cold,

908
01:03:29,839 --> 01:03:32,275
and round them up for questioning.

909
01:03:32,409 --> 01:03:35,211
Well, for now,
I just want to concentrate...

910
01:03:35,312 --> 01:03:39,115
on all those people who have
a circulation problem...

911
01:03:39,282 --> 01:03:42,185
plus a key to the apartment.

912
01:03:47,324 --> 01:03:48,425
Well,

913
01:03:50,293 --> 01:03:52,562
if that's what you wanna do,

914
01:03:53,396 --> 01:03:55,098
that's what you should do.

915
01:03:58,535 --> 01:03:59,736
Don't do that.

916
01:03:59,836 --> 01:04:01,471
But you like that.

917
01:04:01,571 --> 01:04:03,006
Yeah, a little.

918
01:04:03,206 --> 01:04:05,775
Bartender, two more!

919
01:04:30,533 --> 01:04:33,136
Boy, do you smell like a French whore.

920
01:04:36,439 --> 01:04:38,274
This is tough.

921
01:04:38,742 --> 01:04:42,011
This is a tough case.

922
01:04:46,916 --> 01:04:51,154
We had a wonderful time together. Wonderful.

923
01:04:51,454 --> 01:04:52,155
But...

924
01:04:52,522 --> 01:04:53,857
But what?

925
01:04:54,824 --> 01:04:57,360
While I was in the apartment
waiting for you and Nick,

926
01:04:57,460 --> 01:05:01,631
I was there for some time.
I was tense, my mind racing.

927
01:05:01,998 --> 01:05:04,300
I must have felt cold,

928
01:05:04,534 --> 01:05:09,105
and without realizing it,
by rote, I turned up the heat.

929
01:05:09,305 --> 01:05:11,107
What difference does it make?

930
01:05:11,641 --> 01:05:13,076
He knows about it.

931
01:05:13,777 --> 01:05:16,813
He's figured out there was someone
in the apartment...

932
01:05:16,913 --> 01:05:21,985
who moved the switch from cool to hot.
He suspects I was in Nick's apartment.

933
01:05:26,823 --> 01:05:28,191
Are you there?

934
01:05:30,026 --> 01:05:31,127
Yes.

935
01:05:31,561 --> 01:05:33,930
<i>But that's only in his mind.</i>

936
01:05:34,030 --> 01:05:36,466
No one else thinks that.
It can't lead anywhere.

937
01:05:36,566 --> 01:05:38,668
It can't be proven.
It's just a supposition.

938
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:41,671
What else did he say?

939
01:05:41,971 --> 01:05:42,806
<i>Nothing.</i>

940
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:46,009
The rest of the time
we just laughed, had fun.

941
01:05:46,109 --> 01:05:47,677
He talked about his dog.

942
01:05:48,411 --> 01:05:50,713
<i>And then we parted.</i>

943
01:05:51,714 --> 01:05:55,118
You know, when you first started with him,
it was to make things easier.

944
01:05:55,218 --> 01:05:59,155
But it's not working. I mean, he keeps digging.
It's getting too complicated.

945
01:06:00,056 --> 01:06:01,524
Maybe you should just put an end to it.

946
01:06:02,358 --> 01:06:05,995
He's just pecking at the edges. Lisa,

947
01:06:06,663 --> 01:06:11,167
he can never find out what really happened.
He doesn't even know you exist.

948
01:06:11,968 --> 01:06:14,704
Right. He doesn't even know I exist.

949
01:06:15,138 --> 01:06:19,342
You don't exist, and
I was in the corridor with the manager.

950
01:06:21,211 --> 01:06:22,345
Right.

951
01:06:23,580 --> 01:06:27,650
But, Lisa, you have to get on a plane.

952
01:06:29,752 --> 01:06:31,955
I'll make a reservation for Saturday.

953
01:06:33,756 --> 01:06:34,858
Good.

954
01:06:38,695 --> 01:06:41,931
It's tough. Really tough.

955
01:06:42,932 --> 01:06:44,734
This is a tough case.

956
01:06:44,868 --> 01:06:46,469
You said that an hour ago.

957
01:06:46,569 --> 01:06:47,770
Uh-huh.

958
01:06:49,739 --> 01:06:52,575
You can't have two dames
making a play for you.

959
01:06:53,042 --> 01:06:56,145
So the perfume must be from
the one who gave you the tie, right?

960
01:06:56,246 --> 01:06:58,548
Barney, shut up.

961
01:06:58,648 --> 01:07:00,350
See how much I learned from you?

962
01:07:01,317 --> 01:07:03,620
A glass of water, please.

963
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,890
Commissioner, quiet.
We're having a conversation here.

964
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:09,592
So is she making a play for you
because she did it?

965
01:07:09,692 --> 01:07:11,728
Barney, I'm trying to think.

966
01:07:11,828 --> 01:07:14,797
Let her go, Lieutenant.
She doesn't smell dangerous.

967
01:07:14,898 --> 01:07:17,901
If they did it, you catch them.

968
01:07:18,134 --> 01:07:21,638
If an angel did it,
you get the cuffs for the hands...

969
01:07:21,738 --> 01:07:23,740
and a rope for the wings.

970
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,808
Do you have a solid case against her?

971
01:07:25,909 --> 01:07:31,147
No. All I got is birdseed.
I'm gonna need a confession.

972
01:07:31,247 --> 01:07:33,383
Let me tell you something important.

973
01:07:33,816 --> 01:07:37,120
This guy Franco was a scum bucket.

974
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,990
He could charm the tail
off a brass monkey.

975
01:07:41,090 --> 01:07:46,195
Make you laugh, show you a good time,
and at the end of the evening...

976
01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:49,165
Now, I saw this with my own eyes.

977
01:07:49,265 --> 01:07:52,835
I was bartendering
at Miro's, a party of 10,

978
01:07:52,936 --> 01:07:55,305
and he's the life of the party.

979
01:07:55,505 --> 01:07:58,908
And Mel Sarnoff has
his wallet on the bar,

980
01:07:59,042 --> 01:08:01,477
and he turns to talk
to the guy on his right,

981
01:08:01,844 --> 01:08:06,583
and Nick removes half the money.
A real scum bucket.

982
01:08:07,350 --> 01:08:10,653
I know other bartenders. We talk.

983
01:08:10,753 --> 01:08:14,557
And they say the same thing.
He was a scum bucket.

984
01:08:14,657 --> 01:08:19,629
Used women. Made them all feel like queens,
young and old,

985
01:08:19,729 --> 01:08:24,033
the older ones for their money,
the young ones for their body.

986
01:08:24,367 --> 01:08:25,902
Scum bucket!

987
01:08:26,002 --> 01:08:28,271
See? The Commissioner knows.
He knows what's going on.

988
01:08:28,371 --> 01:08:32,775
You know what's crazy about this thing?
The more time I spend with her,

989
01:08:34,577 --> 01:08:37,246
the more I think
she's got good stuff in her.

990
01:08:37,714 --> 01:08:39,349
On the other hand,

991
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:43,953
the more time I spend with her,
the more I think she did it.

992
01:08:44,420 --> 01:08:47,890
Here's to her.
Why did she wait so long?

993
01:08:50,059 --> 01:08:51,794
I'm gonna get some air.

994
01:08:52,228 --> 01:08:56,833
In order to solve this case,
would you tell her you'd marry her?

995
01:08:57,233 --> 01:08:59,035
Are you on drugs?

996
01:08:59,135 --> 01:09:00,603
Would you sleep with her?

997
01:09:01,437 --> 01:09:03,272
How much is the gum?

998
01:09:03,373 --> 01:09:05,008
Did you kiss her?

999
01:09:05,274 --> 01:09:07,777
I can't believe gum costs this much.

1000
01:09:07,977 --> 01:09:11,414
You know, she probably really likes you.

1001
01:09:11,981 --> 01:09:14,584
She doesn't have to pretend.
You're easy to like.

1002
01:09:14,684 --> 01:09:16,919
So it's easy for her
to use her femininity...

1003
01:09:17,020 --> 01:09:20,056
for the one thing that matters.
She has to save herself.

1004
01:09:20,523 --> 01:09:23,292
Since when did you become a psychologist?

1005
01:09:23,393 --> 01:09:27,263
It goes with owning a restaurant!
And you probably like her.

1006
01:09:27,430 --> 01:09:30,566
You don't have to pretend.
She's easy to like.

1007
01:09:30,833 --> 01:09:34,837
And it's easy for you to play the game
for the one thing that really matters.

1008
01:09:34,937 --> 01:09:37,507
You have to break this case.

1009
01:09:37,707 --> 01:09:39,709
This used to be my favorite restaurant.

1010
01:09:40,276 --> 01:09:44,747
Here's why you're troubled. You like her.
And the more you show it,

1011
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:48,251
the more she thinks you're
gonna give her a break. And you're not.

1012
01:09:48,351 --> 01:09:52,155
You're leading her down the
garden path, and you don't like it.

1013
01:09:52,422 --> 01:09:54,891
- How many gums did you take?
- Two!

1014
01:09:55,591 --> 01:09:57,226
It's going on the tab.

1015
01:09:57,326 --> 01:10:03,099
Don't worry about the tab.
George here has got money.

1016
01:10:03,466 --> 01:10:04,434
Shut up.

1017
01:10:09,572 --> 01:10:11,307
- You cleaned this?
- Sí.

1018
01:10:11,407 --> 01:10:12,975
- How?
- How?

1019
01:10:13,076 --> 01:10:15,144
Sí. How you clean?

1020
01:10:15,244 --> 01:10:16,879
I don't understand.

1021
01:10:16,979 --> 01:10:18,915
Show me how you clean.

1022
01:10:19,248 --> 01:10:22,685
Ah. With this sponge and this soap.

1023
01:10:22,785 --> 01:10:25,588
You clean inside first, outside first?

1024
01:10:26,122 --> 01:10:28,458
- Inside first.
- Show me.

1025
01:10:29,192 --> 01:10:30,159
Okay.

1026
01:10:31,194 --> 01:10:35,865
Um... I take this out, and I clean.

1027
01:10:36,099 --> 01:10:40,036
You start at the top and go down,
or from the bottom and go up?

1028
01:10:40,636 --> 01:10:43,906
I start at the top. Always at the top.

1029
01:10:44,006 --> 01:10:45,508
You clean over here?

1030
01:10:45,608 --> 01:10:47,744
No, I don't clean the ice.

1031
01:10:47,844 --> 01:10:50,813
I see, so you put the food back,
and then you clean the outside.

1032
01:10:50,913 --> 01:10:52,315
- Sí.
- Show me.

1033
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:53,516
Okay.

1034
01:10:54,250 --> 01:10:57,520
Um, I wipe here...

1035
01:10:57,620 --> 01:10:58,888
- Sí.
- Yeah?

1036
01:10:59,122 --> 01:11:01,190
- You clean over here?
- Sí.

1037
01:11:01,290 --> 01:11:02,358
How?

1038
01:11:05,461 --> 01:11:08,631
Okay. I clean. See?

1039
01:11:08,731 --> 01:11:09,665
Sí.

1040
01:11:11,534 --> 01:11:15,938
And then I put this back.

1041
01:11:16,172 --> 01:11:19,208
You put the plug in this socket
or this socket?

1042
01:11:19,308 --> 01:11:21,978
This socket.
I always put in this socket.

1043
01:11:22,111 --> 01:11:24,046
But it just came out of this socket.

1044
01:11:24,247 --> 01:11:26,516
- Sí.
- Who put it in this socket?

1045
01:11:26,616 --> 01:11:28,851
- Maybe my sister.
- Why your sister?

1046
01:11:28,951 --> 01:11:30,586
When I'm sick, my sister come.

1047
01:11:30,686 --> 01:11:32,989
Who was here
the day Mr. Franco was killed?

1048
01:11:33,089 --> 01:11:34,357
My sister.

1049
01:11:45,501 --> 01:11:48,571
Now, that circuit breaker
I saw is down here, yes?

1050
01:11:48,671 --> 01:11:49,639
Sí!

1051
01:11:58,548 --> 01:12:01,150
Is the refrigerator on or off?

1052
01:12:03,820 --> 01:12:04,987
On!

1053
01:12:05,087 --> 01:12:07,490
Is the refrigerator on or off?

1054
01:12:08,724 --> 01:12:09,826
On!

1055
01:12:10,860 --> 01:12:12,328
On or off?

1056
01:12:12,862 --> 01:12:13,996
On!

1057
01:12:14,096 --> 01:12:16,933
Now put the plug
in the other socket.

1058
01:12:21,170 --> 01:12:23,339
Plug in the other socket!

1059
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,608
Is the fridge on or off?

1060
01:12:25,775 --> 01:12:26,542
On!

1061
01:12:26,776 --> 01:12:29,212
Now, on or off?

1062
01:12:29,645 --> 01:12:30,546
Off!

1063
01:12:30,646 --> 01:12:32,615
Now, on or off?

1064
01:12:32,715 --> 01:12:33,716
On!

1065
01:12:33,816 --> 01:12:35,551
- On or off?
- Off!

1066
01:12:35,651 --> 01:12:37,854
- On or off?
- On!

1067
01:12:37,954 --> 01:12:39,789
- On or off?
- Off!

1068
01:12:39,889 --> 01:12:42,058
On! Off!

1069
01:12:42,158 --> 01:12:43,960
On! Off!

1070
01:12:44,493 --> 01:12:46,696
On! Off!

1071
01:12:46,796 --> 01:12:50,800
On! Off! On! Off! On!

1072
01:12:51,133 --> 01:12:54,470
Off! On! Off! On! Off!

1073
01:12:56,672 --> 01:12:58,374
Are you Mr. Ruddick?

1074
01:12:58,641 --> 01:12:59,709
Yes!

1075
01:13:00,610 --> 01:13:04,413
I have a package here for you.
It's for a Lieutenant Columbo.

1076
01:13:04,513 --> 01:13:06,716
You're supposed to give it to him
when you see him.

1077
01:13:10,620 --> 01:13:15,758
You try this. It's to die.
I know you're gonna like it.

1078
01:13:16,092 --> 01:13:17,360
Thank you.

1079
01:13:20,296 --> 01:13:25,701
Mmm! Sí, sí, it's very good.
In El Salvador, we put jam.

1080
01:13:29,272 --> 01:13:32,742
You see, in El Salvador,
you got brains.

1081
01:13:34,410 --> 01:13:36,545
Package for you, Lieutenant!

1082
01:13:38,648 --> 01:13:40,249
You want to open the door?

1083
01:13:41,517 --> 01:13:44,353
From Saks Fifth Avenue. Big sucker.

1084
01:13:44,921 --> 01:13:46,923
You shop at Saks?

1085
01:13:47,023 --> 01:13:47,957
Why not?

1086
01:13:48,057 --> 01:13:51,494
You don't like Saks?
It's a very good store.

1087
01:14:13,049 --> 01:14:15,818
- I want to thank you for the gift.
- You didn't open it.

1088
01:14:15,918 --> 01:14:18,955
Well, I wanted you to be here.
That's why I called you.

1089
01:14:19,655 --> 01:14:20,623
Lieutenant.

1090
01:14:21,157 --> 01:14:22,258
Yes?

1091
01:14:23,459 --> 01:14:25,895
What's the longest you've
ever worked on a case?

1092
01:14:25,995 --> 01:14:28,331
Nine years and four months.

1093
01:14:29,198 --> 01:14:31,167
Nine years?

1094
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:33,369
Long time!

1095
01:14:33,736 --> 01:14:37,306
And this case, what's the longest
you think you'll work on it?

1096
01:14:38,808 --> 01:14:40,509
Long as I'm making progress.

1097
01:14:40,609 --> 01:14:42,745
And do you feel you're making progress?

1098
01:14:42,945 --> 01:14:46,615
I found out this morning why
the ice melted in the refrigerator.

1099
01:14:47,283 --> 01:14:49,385
And it wasn't that the maid missed it?

1100
01:14:49,485 --> 01:14:50,353
No.

1101
01:14:50,786 --> 01:14:54,724
Was it because the maid left
the refrigerator door open?

1102
01:14:54,824 --> 01:14:56,859
No, it was a mistake.

1103
01:14:57,393 --> 01:15:02,531
The maid put the refrigerator plug
in the wrong socket,

1104
01:15:02,665 --> 01:15:05,434
and this socket was connected to
the circuit breaker...

1105
01:15:05,534 --> 01:15:07,370
that controlled the lights
in the living room.

1106
01:15:07,470 --> 01:15:08,237
Mmm-hmm.

1107
01:15:08,337 --> 01:15:11,173
Somebody cut off that circuit breaker...

1108
01:15:11,273 --> 01:15:15,244
and, without knowing it,
they cut off the refrigerator.

1109
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:19,348
It's amazing how you keep digging
until you get these answers.

1110
01:15:19,448 --> 01:15:24,153
Yeah. But what good does it do me?
So I know how the ice melted. So what?

1111
01:15:24,253 --> 01:15:26,622
What am I gonna do with that information?

1112
01:15:27,323 --> 01:15:31,260
Ask me what really happened that night,
I couldn't tell you. I'm stumped.

1113
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,631
This case, it's got me, uh...
It's got me wacky.

1114
01:15:35,931 --> 01:15:37,233
I don't sleep at night.

1115
01:15:37,466 --> 01:15:39,235
Does that mean you can't have a good time?

1116
01:15:39,335 --> 01:15:41,737
When I'm with you? No, no,

1117
01:15:41,837 --> 01:15:45,174
when I'm with you
I can still have a good time.

1118
01:15:46,175 --> 01:15:47,743
Can we order a drink?

1119
01:15:47,843 --> 01:15:50,246
Uh, no. I'm afraid not.

1120
01:15:52,114 --> 01:15:54,950
No liquor here. Beer. Wine.

1121
01:15:55,951 --> 01:15:58,687
You want something to drink?
I'll tell you something.

1122
01:15:58,788 --> 01:16:00,456
She'll have something to drink.

1123
01:16:00,556 --> 01:16:01,657
Thanks.

1124
01:16:05,561 --> 01:16:06,962
- Cheers!
- Cheers.

1125
01:16:07,763 --> 01:16:11,233
Here you go. Now, if there's
anything else, just holler.

1126
01:16:11,333 --> 01:16:14,036
Okay! The steak is fantastic.

1127
01:16:14,136 --> 01:16:15,104
I wanna open this now.

1128
01:16:15,204 --> 01:16:16,205
Oh, no! Before you eat?

1129
01:16:16,305 --> 01:16:17,873
I can't wait.

1130
01:16:18,307 --> 01:16:21,010
- I can't believe this steak.
- It's the only thing he can cook.

1131
01:16:21,110 --> 01:16:23,012
But it's the best in town.

1132
01:16:33,689 --> 01:16:35,458
Will your dog fit into that?

1133
01:16:35,558 --> 01:16:40,930
If you went around the world three times,
you couldn't find me a better gift.

1134
01:16:46,535 --> 01:16:48,237
Can I ask you something?

1135
01:16:48,704 --> 01:16:52,007
Why do you ask if you can ask?
You're gonna do it anyway.

1136
01:16:53,142 --> 01:16:55,644
How long were you seeing Nick?

1137
01:16:58,114 --> 01:16:59,715
Three months.

1138
01:17:02,818 --> 01:17:04,053
Um...

1139
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,124
All right, I'll, uh,
take care of this in a minute.

1140
01:17:20,903 --> 01:17:25,841
Barney was talking about Nick last night.
I'm gonna use his exact words.

1141
01:17:25,941 --> 01:17:27,243
"Scum bucket."

1142
01:17:28,944 --> 01:17:31,013
I'm surprised you would
repeat that to me.

1143
01:17:31,780 --> 01:17:35,518
He went on to say
that Nick was the type that...

1144
01:17:36,118 --> 01:17:37,753
used...

1145
01:17:39,188 --> 01:17:40,990
Okay, forget that.

1146
01:17:42,391 --> 01:17:44,426
I won't repeat that.

1147
01:17:45,094 --> 01:17:48,130
I'm bringing it up because, in
going through Nick's personal effects,

1148
01:17:48,230 --> 01:17:54,303
I noticed that his golf membership was canceled,
he canceled a life-insurance policy,

1149
01:17:54,403 --> 01:17:57,406
there was an IOU for $30,000,

1150
01:17:57,606 --> 01:18:02,778
and this all took place about
three months ago.

1151
01:18:04,146 --> 01:18:08,951
So I was wondering, did Nick ever
talk to you about marriage or money?

1152
01:18:09,318 --> 01:18:10,653
Lieutenant.

1153
01:18:12,621 --> 01:18:16,125
I've always been willing to
discuss with you the circumstances...

1154
01:18:16,225 --> 01:18:17,960
surrounding Nick's death.

1155
01:18:18,961 --> 01:18:24,099
I've always been willing to discuss with you
my relationship with Nick,

1156
01:18:24,867 --> 01:18:29,205
and anything else
you wanted to talk about,

1157
01:18:29,905 --> 01:18:32,975
the lights, the refrigerator,

1158
01:18:33,075 --> 01:18:37,780
my circulation problem,
and God knows what else.

1159
01:18:38,113 --> 01:18:41,750
But this... is unpleasant.

1160
01:18:44,086 --> 01:18:45,721
This hurts.

1161
01:18:47,056 --> 01:18:50,459
If you want to go on, I will,
but I want...

1162
01:18:50,559 --> 01:18:51,794
No. No.

1163
01:18:53,162 --> 01:18:54,697
Let's drop it.

1164
01:18:55,998 --> 01:19:00,970
I know nothing about Nick's
financial situation.

1165
01:19:01,070 --> 01:19:04,940
If what you say is true,
he never mentioned it to me.

1166
01:19:07,309 --> 01:19:11,347
Whether or not we discussed marriage...

1167
01:19:11,814 --> 01:19:16,452
really is a private matter.

1168
01:19:19,221 --> 01:19:20,656
I understand.

1169
01:19:23,025 --> 01:19:24,460
Later.

1170
01:19:27,630 --> 01:19:28,797
Later.

1171
01:19:47,316 --> 01:19:49,818
Probably could have had this done
a little faster down at the police lab.

1172
01:19:49,918 --> 01:19:51,820
Oh, they're not mine.
They're my brother-in-law's.

1173
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,491
Yeah? How come he wants such big blowups?
And why does he cut the people's heads off?

1174
01:19:55,591 --> 01:19:58,193
Well, to him, it's art.
Let him be happy.

1175
01:19:58,761 --> 01:20:00,963
Okay. Take care.

1176
01:20:01,463 --> 01:20:04,600
<i>You've been watching her?
What's she been doing?</i>

1177
01:20:04,700 --> 01:20:09,405
Nothing exciting. Always alone.
Takes walks. Goes swimming. Reads a lot.

1178
01:20:09,505 --> 01:20:11,240
Doesn't talk to anybody.

1179
01:20:11,607 --> 01:20:15,044
Got on the phone a couple of times.
Seems preoccupied.

1180
01:20:16,412 --> 01:20:18,681
Okay. Pick her up. Bring her in.

1181
01:20:18,781 --> 01:20:20,149
<i>Yes, sir.</i>

1182
01:20:23,519 --> 01:20:24,987
Get me that number.

1183
01:20:26,922 --> 01:20:27,923
Yeah. I'll get it to her all right.

1184
01:20:28,023 --> 01:20:30,693
I'm here to see Lieutenant Columbo.
My name is Miss Staton.

1185
01:20:30,793 --> 01:20:32,328
What's this in connection with?

1186
01:20:32,428 --> 01:20:34,730
He asked me to come down.
Said they'd picked up a suspect.

1187
01:20:34,830 --> 01:20:37,132
They want her in the booth
behind the interrogation room.

1188
01:20:37,232 --> 01:20:39,268
- Show her down.
- This way, ma'am.

1189
01:20:44,573 --> 01:20:47,343
<i>Why did you lie when the detective asked you
if you knew Nick Franco?</i>

1190
01:20:47,443 --> 01:20:49,678
<i>You said you didn't know him.
Is that right? Yes or no?</i>

1191
01:20:49,778 --> 01:20:52,214
<i>- Yes.
- Yes, what? Yes, you knew him?</i>

1192
01:20:52,314 --> 01:20:53,182
<i>You said you didn't know him.</i>

1193
01:20:53,282 --> 01:20:55,484
- Yes, I said I didn't know him!
- Why did you lie?

1194
01:20:55,584 --> 01:20:57,186
And where were you
on the night of the 19th?

1195
01:20:57,286 --> 01:20:59,088
<i>- I was...
- In the movies. We know that.</i>

1196
01:20:59,188 --> 01:21:00,923
<i>- Were you with anyone after the movies?
- No!</i>

1197
01:21:01,023 --> 01:21:02,391
<i>Was the ticket taker a man or a woman?</i>

1198
01:21:02,491 --> 01:21:03,425
<i>I don't remember.</i>

1199
01:21:03,525 --> 01:21:05,561
<i>- Why are you lying?
- I'm not lying.</i>

1200
01:21:05,661 --> 01:21:07,196
<i>What was the name of the movie?</i>

1201
01:21:07,596 --> 01:21:09,398
<i>- It was a scary movie.
- You're not lying?</i>

1202
01:21:09,498 --> 01:21:12,434
<i>You said you didn't know
Nick Franco! Was that a lie?</i>

1203
01:21:13,302 --> 01:21:15,070
<i>- Yes.
- What was the name of the movie?</i>

1204
01:21:15,170 --> 01:21:16,572
<i>I don't remember!</i>

1205
01:21:17,139 --> 01:21:18,273
<i>What theater?</i>

1206
01:21:19,942 --> 01:21:21,477
<i>The, uh, Deluxe on Ventura.</i>

1207
01:21:21,577 --> 01:21:23,312
<i>- Why are you lying?
- I'm not lying!</i>

1208
01:21:23,412 --> 01:21:25,681
<i>You're not lying? You said
you didn't know Nick Franco.</i>

1209
01:21:25,781 --> 01:21:26,849
<i>Was that a lie?</i>

1210
01:21:26,949 --> 01:21:28,617
<i>Count these numbers!</i>

1211
01:21:29,251 --> 01:21:30,652
Count them!

1212
01:21:32,488 --> 01:21:36,492
One, two, three, four...

1213
01:21:36,592 --> 01:21:39,228
That's the number of times
you spoke to Nick Franco.

1214
01:21:39,328 --> 01:21:40,329
You said you didn't know him.

1215
01:21:40,562 --> 01:21:41,697
<i>Count these numbers.</i>

1216
01:21:41,797 --> 01:21:43,198
What are those numbers?

1217
01:21:43,298 --> 01:21:45,701
It's one number. Her telephone number.

1218
01:21:45,801 --> 01:21:50,439
<i>Ten times you spoke to Nick Franco!
Count these numbers.</i>

1219
01:21:53,942 --> 01:21:55,277
Who found this girl?

1220
01:21:56,311 --> 01:21:57,146
I did.

1221
01:21:57,746 --> 01:21:58,947
How?

1222
01:22:02,584 --> 01:22:04,953
Nick called her, uh,

1223
01:22:05,053 --> 01:22:08,724
12 times in the last 10 days.

1224
01:22:09,925 --> 01:22:13,061
It's a toll call and it was
on his phone bill.

1225
01:22:13,629 --> 01:22:17,599
For the past 10 days, he had
his phone bill sent to a P.O. Box.

1226
01:22:18,033 --> 01:22:21,136
I guess he didn't want it
laying around the apartment.

1227
01:22:22,137 --> 01:22:24,506
Someone who spends time there might see it.

1228
01:22:26,575 --> 01:22:28,110
Do you know her?

1229
01:22:32,948 --> 01:22:35,517
Let me show you these photographs.

1230
01:22:47,062 --> 01:22:49,164
Do you recognize that chair?

1231
01:22:51,733 --> 01:22:54,236
I'd say it's the same chair.

1232
01:22:55,437 --> 01:23:00,242
Hand-carved antique chair.
One of a kind.

1233
01:23:01,910 --> 01:23:04,246
I'd say, at one time,

1234
01:23:05,514 --> 01:23:07,916
you were in the same room
as that person.

1235
01:23:09,852 --> 01:23:12,321
Lieutenant, the boys want
to go after her harder.

1236
01:23:12,421 --> 01:23:14,723
What do you think?
We're waiting on you.

1237
01:23:14,823 --> 01:23:16,792
I'll be with you in a minute!

1238
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,115
Can you solve this case
without a confession?

1239
01:23:41,283 --> 01:23:42,718
No.

1240
01:23:45,153 --> 01:23:47,022
Would you do anything to hurt me?

1241
01:23:55,197 --> 01:23:57,566
If you could solve this case,

1242
01:23:59,334 --> 01:24:01,136
would you do anything to hurt me?

1243
01:24:02,371 --> 01:24:03,672
I wouldn't.

1244
01:24:05,474 --> 01:24:08,877
If you could solve this case,
would you do anything...

1245
01:24:09,711 --> 01:24:11,580
to keep from hurting me?

1246
01:24:12,381 --> 01:24:13,715
Anything.

1247
01:24:16,485 --> 01:24:18,320
Let that girl go.

1248
01:24:27,162 --> 01:24:29,064
Brogan, you still there?

1249
01:24:29,197 --> 01:24:31,066
Still here, Lieutenant.

1250
01:24:32,901 --> 01:24:34,703
I'll be with you in a minute.

1251
01:24:57,726 --> 01:25:00,162
<i>You. Come with me.</i>

1252
01:25:33,829 --> 01:25:37,366
I'm, uh, Lieutenant Columbo.

1253
01:25:39,101 --> 01:25:40,202
Mean anything to you?

1254
01:25:42,371 --> 01:25:43,305
No.

1255
01:25:43,405 --> 01:25:45,674
No? Okay.

1256
01:25:45,774 --> 01:25:50,512
I only mention it because, uh,
maybe in your travels you heard the name.

1257
01:25:53,448 --> 01:25:55,183
You don't have to say nothing.

1258
01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:58,186
You got money for a taxi?

1259
01:26:00,689 --> 01:26:01,690
Yes.

1260
01:26:03,225 --> 01:26:05,560
There's a telephone booth
two blocks down.

1261
01:26:06,995 --> 01:26:08,263
Okay.

1262
01:26:08,563 --> 01:26:10,932
Now, the detective, he told me that...

1263
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,603
you've spent a lot of time
in Europe? It's true?

1264
01:26:15,604 --> 01:26:16,772
Yes.

1265
01:26:16,872 --> 01:26:20,809
Well, there must be something
important going on there tomorrow,

1266
01:26:21,176 --> 01:26:24,146
and if I were you, I wouldn't miss it.

1267
01:26:26,615 --> 01:26:27,916
Okay.

1268
01:26:31,553 --> 01:26:33,689
Lauren wants it this way.

1269
01:26:40,395 --> 01:26:41,563
Okay.

1270
01:26:44,366 --> 01:26:45,934
Goodbye.

1271
01:27:06,588 --> 01:27:08,757
- What's up?
- I'm going in another direction.

1272
01:27:08,857 --> 01:27:09,691
What, you got something?

1273
01:27:09,791 --> 01:27:11,560
Could be major.
Better than that girl.

1274
01:27:11,660 --> 01:27:14,596
That was going nowhere.
Keep your fingers crossed.

1275
01:27:31,613 --> 01:27:33,548
How'd you keep the body warm?

1276
01:27:35,117 --> 01:27:37,018
Electric blanket.

1277
01:27:38,153 --> 01:27:41,757
Why did you turn off
the switch for the lights?

1278
01:27:42,557 --> 01:27:44,192
That living room can be
seen by neighbors.

1279
01:27:44,292 --> 01:27:46,495
If anyone had seen
a light going on at 12:00,

1280
01:27:46,595 --> 01:27:48,497
it would have been disastrous.

1281
01:27:49,197 --> 01:27:51,566
Do you remember turning up the heat?

1282
01:27:52,334 --> 01:27:55,570
No. I did it by rote,
like stopping at a red light.

1283
01:27:55,670 --> 01:27:57,639
My mind was elsewhere.

1284
01:27:57,939 --> 01:27:59,574
Who fired the shot in the apartment...

1285
01:27:59,674 --> 01:28:02,344
while you were outside
in the corridor with the manager?

1286
01:28:03,078 --> 01:28:05,213
That's for you to find out.

1287
01:28:05,847 --> 01:28:07,549
An unknown accomplice.

1288
01:28:08,350 --> 01:28:09,417
Male.

1289
01:28:11,586 --> 01:28:14,356
Accomplice, unknown male.

1290
01:28:15,190 --> 01:28:17,492
And he was the one that
removed the electric blanket?

1291
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,095
That's right.

1292
01:28:21,563 --> 01:28:25,300
And he's the one that took
Nick's car out of the garage...

1293
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,503
after 12:00 and brought it back
close to 2:00?

1294
01:28:29,137 --> 01:28:30,172
That's right.

1295
01:28:30,272 --> 01:28:32,274
And you refuse to name him?

1296
01:28:33,909 --> 01:28:35,243
I refuse.

1297
01:28:43,985 --> 01:28:45,921
And who is she?

1298
01:28:48,590 --> 01:28:49,891
My daughter.

1299
01:29:01,336 --> 01:29:02,404
What...

1300
01:29:03,171 --> 01:29:06,641
She and Nick and you and Nick?
What...

1301
01:29:06,741 --> 01:29:09,077
He used us both.
Neither of us had any idea.

1302
01:29:10,212 --> 01:29:11,179
Did he know?

1303
01:29:11,646 --> 01:29:13,415
Yes, from the beginning.

1304
01:29:14,149 --> 01:29:15,383
But how did all this...

1305
01:29:15,483 --> 01:29:19,287
Nick was in Rome. He saw Lisa,

1306
01:29:19,387 --> 01:29:22,724
picked her up, seduced her,
and through her,

1307
01:29:23,191 --> 01:29:26,194
found out about a wealthy
mother in Beverly Hills.

1308
01:29:27,229 --> 01:29:29,030
He came after me.

1309
01:29:30,599 --> 01:29:33,301
Lisa, in Rome, knew nothing,

1310
01:29:34,769 --> 01:29:37,873
until something I said
in a letter.

1311
01:29:40,008 --> 01:29:42,410
I described the man I was seeing,

1312
01:29:43,178 --> 01:29:45,046
his pet expression,

1313
01:29:46,381 --> 01:29:48,717
"Can I nibble on your ear?"

1314
01:29:52,020 --> 01:29:53,822
Other things.

1315
01:29:55,123 --> 01:29:58,693
A ring with his initials,

1316
01:29:59,661 --> 01:30:01,396
a tiny scar.

1317
01:30:03,665 --> 01:30:06,334
Lisa became hysterical.

1318
01:30:06,635 --> 01:30:08,670
It sounded like Nick!

1319
01:30:09,838 --> 01:30:10,906
Can you imagine?

1320
01:30:12,407 --> 01:30:16,678
Being involved with a man in Rome,

1321
01:30:16,845 --> 01:30:22,450
maybe this same man was
seducing your mother in Los Angeles.

1322
01:30:25,287 --> 01:30:27,088
She was wild.

1323
01:30:28,924 --> 01:30:32,427
She flew here and confronted him.

1324
01:30:34,296 --> 01:30:35,196
And?

1325
01:30:35,430 --> 01:30:39,668
He said he needed money
and he was gonna get it from me,

1326
01:30:40,602 --> 01:30:44,339
and she should go back
to Rome and wait for him.

1327
01:30:49,511 --> 01:30:52,080
She went berserk.
Started screaming.

1328
01:30:52,180 --> 01:30:55,283
He beat her. He put his hands
around her neck and choked her.

1329
01:30:55,383 --> 01:31:00,155
He then sliced her neck with a razor
and said he'd kill her if she told me.

1330
01:31:01,122 --> 01:31:03,558
Well, she told me.

1331
01:31:05,293 --> 01:31:07,395
But we killed him first.

1332
01:31:47,102 --> 01:31:48,436
I'm ready.

1333
01:31:56,378 --> 01:31:58,213
Thanks for the flowers.

1334
01:32:03,852 --> 01:32:05,053
Brogan!

1335
01:32:06,488 --> 01:32:07,889
- Brogan!
- Yeah!

1336
01:32:07,989 --> 01:32:09,290
Come in here.

1337
01:32:11,426 --> 01:32:13,028
I sent her to Europe.

1338
01:32:14,896 --> 01:32:15,930
Thank you.

1339
01:32:16,831 --> 01:32:18,099
Where's her father?

1340
01:32:21,102 --> 01:32:25,640
The last time I saw him was in Rome.
It was a long time ago.

1341
01:32:27,609 --> 01:32:29,210
She'll be all right.

1342
01:32:52,367 --> 01:32:54,569
<i>Rumored to be among
the possible targets,</i>

1343
01:32:54,669 --> 01:32:57,205
<i>more West Coast military bases.</i>

1344
01:32:57,739 --> 01:32:59,407
<i>There was a dramatic
development this evening...</i>

1345
01:32:59,507 --> 01:33:02,343
<i>in the case involving the shooting
of a Beverly Hills gambler,</i>

1346
01:33:02,444 --> 01:33:03,978
<i>Mr. Nick Franco.</i>

1347
01:33:04,112 --> 01:33:06,281
<i>Miss Lauren Staton,
also of Beverly Hills,</i>

1348
01:33:06,381 --> 01:33:09,384
<i>confessed this evening
to the murder of Mr. Franco.</i>

1349
01:33:09,484 --> 01:33:11,820
<i>According to police,
she had a male accomplice,</i>

1350
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,522
<i>who at this point
remains unidentified.</i>

1351
01:33:14,622 --> 01:33:16,691
<i>No motive was given,
but police report that...</i>

1352
01:33:16,791 --> 01:33:19,861
<i>Mr. Franco and Miss Staton
were having an affair.</i>

1353
01:33:20,095 --> 01:33:21,229
<i>On Wall Street today...</i>

1354
01:33:21,329 --> 01:33:22,897
Did you make that pinch?

1355
01:33:23,631 --> 01:33:24,632
Yeah.

1356
01:33:25,467 --> 01:33:27,702
Uh, your nephew,
what's his name? Uh...

1357
01:33:27,802 --> 01:33:29,337
- Vince?
- Vince.

1358
01:33:30,171 --> 01:33:31,673
He's graduating next week, isn't he?

1359
01:33:31,773 --> 01:33:32,740
That's right.

1360
01:33:33,007 --> 01:33:36,711
Why don't you give him this?
I think he'd like this.

1361
01:33:37,579 --> 01:33:39,414
Can I ask you a question?

1362
01:33:40,148 --> 01:33:41,015
No.

1363
01:33:41,182 --> 01:33:42,984
How do you do a thing like that?

1364
01:33:43,384 --> 01:33:46,154
How do you lock up the lady,
the way you feel about her?

1365
01:33:46,354 --> 01:33:48,456
Who said I felt anything about her?

1366
01:33:48,556 --> 01:33:49,624
You did!

1367
01:33:49,891 --> 01:33:53,228
Listen, you believe
everything a cop tells you,

1368
01:33:53,328 --> 01:33:55,230
you're a damn fool.

1369
01:33:55,897 --> 01:33:56,831
Where you going?

1370
01:33:58,266 --> 01:34:01,302
It's Thursday night.
Taking the wife bowling.
