What's with the hole, though?

We couldn't call it
the Bait and have no fish.

So, it's a fish tank?
Yeah.

from underneath, it'll look good.

That depends.

on credit and...

before I open those doors I really
need to pay some bills.

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,360
Well, then, you'll be very happy to
know it's all been arranged.

I was in the neighbourhood,

00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,840
I figured I'd stop by and, uh, see
how you're spending your alimony.

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880
I bought this place with my money,
thank you very much.

35
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,320
Maybe so, but without my money you
wouldn't be able to keep it,

36
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,960
cos that sitcom of yours got
cancelled after only six episodes.

37

you're sleeping with this kid.

That's none of your business. It has
nothing to do with you, Tony, OK?

be.

If someone were to wear a pair of
gloves and they hit those keys,

327

328
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:47,320
that this repeated contact would be
enough to wipe away any prints

329
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,360
otherwise left by the deceased?

330
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,280
Yeah, I suppose that's a
possibility. This ain't no suicide.

wants me to think it is.

00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,800
You must be Lieutenant Columbo, I'm
Justin Price.

349
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,280
People actually dance to that music?

350
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,080
Yeah. Not your scene?
It's too loud!

351
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,240
Can't think. Oh, can't interfere with
a man's thinking.

352
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,280
(MUSIC OFF)
You found it all right?

353
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400
Yeah, I'm here now and I must tell
you,

354
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,360
it's quite a place you got here.
Really very impressive.

355
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400
Thank you. It's uh...

356
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,440
It's been a long time in the works.

357
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,280
It must cost a lot of money for
something like this.

358
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,000
Yeah, well, you know, as I said,
it's been a long time coming.

359
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,520
So, when you called earlier with,
well, this awful news about Linwood,

360
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,640
you said you had some questions for
me. Oh, yeah, right.

361
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Did I mention the victim had a rope
around his neck?

362
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,520
You did.
Good,

363
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,840
because obviously this looks like a
suicide, right? Yeah.

364
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,880
One problem, no eye-witness.

365
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,360
Nobody actually saw what happened,
you understand? Yeah.

366
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,400
So, to close up this case, this...

367
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,120
You know, mark it suicide, go onto
something else,

368
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240
my boss, he's going to have to rely,
to a certain extent,

369
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,160
on what people who knew Mr Coben had
to say about him.

370
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,200
You understand?
I do.

371
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,480
Now, you knew him, correct?
That's right.

372
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,200
So tell me about him.

373
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Did he uh...

374
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,920
Did he have problems?
Phoo!

375
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,040
Look, Lieutenant, I liked the man
but er...yeah, he had problems.

376
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,560
Like what?

377
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,600
(SIGHS)
He gambled.

378
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,640
A lot.

379
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,720
He drank, he... The man was
desperate.

380
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,200
Desperate.

381
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,720
Lieutenant, this wasn't the first
time.

382
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,800
You mean...
He tried it before.

383
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,720
Suicide?
Last Christmas.

384
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,680
How do you know?

385
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:34,720
Because he told me.
Oh.

386
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,120
This is very valuable.

387
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,360
OK.

388
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,040
So, this party that you had last
night, uh...

389
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,160
What do you call them?
A rave.

390
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Oh, right!

391
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,240
So, this rave you had last night,

392
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,720
any reason in particular
for Mr Coben to be there?

393
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,280
Ah, well, yeah, as a matter of fact.
You see,

394
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,120
Coben and I had an arrangement -
(PAGER BEEPING)

395
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,160
Excuse me.

396
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,960
Ahm, we had...
(BEEPING STOPS)

397
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,280
an arrangement. Ahm, a business
arrangement, if you like.

398
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,000
I'm sorry, sir, I don't quite follow
you. Sorry.

399
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,800
OK. Um... I meet a lot of people in
my line of work,

400
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,320
a lot of famous people, you know,
they come to my parties, so...

401
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,720
Look, Lieutenant, if I'm telling you
this, I'm telling you this in
confidence, right?

402
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,560
You need information and I'll tell
you what I know.

403
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,960
But if what I'm about to tell you
were to get out,

404
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,800
it would finish my business.

405
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,760
Not to worry.
Thank you.

406
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,560
So, these celebrities would
occasionally do something

407
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,200
maybe they shouldn't, that's when
I'd call Linwood.

408
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,320
Tell him who's who, he'd come down,
get a few pictures

409
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,920
and, well, strike a deal with the
person's rep,

410
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,240
you know, get the negatives for
a price.

411
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,280
So, then, that money, he would split
that money with you. That's right.

412
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,840
It's not the most savoury way to
make a buck, but...

413
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,200
Oh, no, please, no,
I'm not here to judge.

414
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,320
Well, I appreciate that.
All right.

415
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,000
So, last night he came there to give
you your cut of the last deal.

416
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,120
That's right. You know,
looking back,

417
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,720
he was probably putting his accounts
in order.

418
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,760
Uh-huh. So, uh...

419
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:14,720
what time was that?

420
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,920
Er... Around midnight?

421
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,320
Uh-huh. Could you tell me who the
person was in these pictures?

422
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,360
Who he made the deal with?

423
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,280
I'm sorry, Lieutenant, it's just
that these...celebrities,

424
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,320
they're a little bit sensitive.

425
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,600
That's all right. I probably
wouldn't know who they are, anyhow.

426
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,640
(LAUGHTER)
But my wife, you know,

427
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,720
she keeps up on these things,
you know, the who's who.

428
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,680
(BEEPING)
They always do! Right.

429
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,720
Sorry.
Oh, don't be sorry.

430
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,440
You already gave me plenty,
so don't worry about it.

431
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,080
I have another party I'm organising
this evening. I'm a little busy.

432
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,120
Oh, is that right?

433
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,080
Another warehouse thing?
Yeah. My last, thank God.

434
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,440
It's a sort of, well, it's a
pre-opening bash for this place.

435
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,840
Oh, well, I had no idea. So I take it
that a place like this,

436
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,880
that's a step up for you, then?

437
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Well, I'd like to think that's it's
more than a step up, yeah.

438
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,640
It sets you apart somewhat.
Puts you in the big league.

439
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,040
Well, congratulations, I suppose.
Thank you.

440
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,040
If there's anything else I can help
you with, get in touch.

441
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,080
I appreciate it.
No problem.

442
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,880
(SPEED DIALS)

443
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,720
(RINGING)

444
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,360
Hello.
Babe, it's me.

445
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Oh, my God, I've been calling you.
What's been going on?

446
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,080
Babe, relax. I've just been talking
to a detective

447
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,920
about the whole thing.
What?!

448
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Ness, Ness -
How did he just -

449
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,160
It's fine, OK, they're just wrapping
things up. This guy...Columbo,

450
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,880
he just thinks it's suicide. We're
sweet, OK? Everything is fine.

451
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,920
(SIGHS) I don't like this.

452
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,280
I'm scared. I know you are, babe,
but look...

453
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,000
maybe it's best if we don't have too
much contact,

454
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,200
just for a little bit longer, all
right?

455
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,840
If they can't put us together, they
can't connect you to this guy.

456
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,320
Understand me?
Yeah.

457
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,640
All right, babe, I've got to go.
Love you.

458
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,680
I love you. Bye,

459
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,240
(SIGHS)

460
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,080
(PHONE RINGING)

461
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,000
Thanks for waiting.
No trouble at all.

462
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,040
I just wanted to do some checking.

463
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Linwood didn't have just one lawsuit
against him, he had two.

464
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,000
Occupational hazard, huh?
To an extent.

465
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,320
This kind of thing followed Linwood
around more than most.

466
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560
Two of the other rags stopped hiring
him altogether. Why's that?

467
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,200
He was just getting too unreliable.
He drank too much.

468
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:50,760
That's a real shame. Can you think of
anything else, anybody with a score
to settle?

469
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,000
That's just it, Lieutenant. Linwood
had a lot of enemies.

470
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,640
There's more than a handful of
people in town who'd want him dead.

471
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,480
OK. I'll go through these.

472
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,520
I'll have them back in a week.

473
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,320
Lieutenant, there's one more thing
and it's gossip more than anything
else.

474
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,520
He'd received some threats about a
story he was working on.

475
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,880
I don't know what it was about but
rumour has it it touched a nerve.

476
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,240
Whether it's true or not...
Check it out?

477
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,880
Well, that's my feeling.

478
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,840
I appreciate your candour.
Good luck, Lieutenant.

479
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,440
The boy was fine, just dehydrated.
The kids at these parties,

480
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,400
they really push the envelope a bit.

481
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,400
So, you had the doorman contact
Mr Price.

482
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,560
Yeah, he beeped him. I guess that's
the way they operate.

483
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,640
I remember cos it didn't work very
well.

484
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,520
Took him 15 minutes to get outside.

485
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,680
Oh, really, and what time was that?

486
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,760
Aaah, 2:20? 2:30?

487
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,680
2:20, 2:30. Any idea why it took him
so long?

488
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,920
Didn't wait around for an
explanation.

489
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,280
Just had him sign the form and we
were out of there. Thank you.

490
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,320
Thanks for the time.

491
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,480
Hey, hey you!

492
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,320
Hey.
Hey, come on, dance with me.

493
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,560
What are you doing?
come on, you look good!

494
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,920
I do?
Yeah!

495
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,960
Well, if you say so.
(LAUGHS)

496
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,600
Lieutenant!

497
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,800
What's this, a new look?
I guess it's a start.

498
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,280
Is this a bad time?
It couldn't be worse.

499
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,320
Two minutes.

500
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,840
Yeah, I'm sorry to drop in on you
like this, but I hate loose ends.

501
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,880
I know what you mean.
No, I mean, the slightest thing,

502
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,720
I can't sleep!

503
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,240
I'm the same. Look, take a seat.
This is not going to take long.

504
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,280
So, what's bugging you?
I was wondering,

505
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,920
these parties that you throw,

506
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,240
is it customary for you to remain
present during the entire event?

507
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,160
It's usually a good idea, just in
case anything happens.

508
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,920
And last night, you never left for
any reason?

509
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,880
No. Sorry, Lieutenant, what does
this

510
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,680
have to do with Linwood's suicide?

511
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:27,360
Well, you know, I'm not so sure it is
a suicide, Mr Price.

512
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,800
What, you think he was murdered?
We're exploring the possibility.

513
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,400
Wow, that's amazing.

514
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,360
What, I'm now a suspect, is that it?

515
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,400
Is that amusing to you?

516
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,920
Yeah, ever so slightly.
Look, Lieutenant,

517
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,560
Linwood had a ton of enemies but I
wasn't one of them.

518
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,200
Ours was a mutually beneficial
relationship.

519
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,240
You know, you've got a good point.

520
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,280
It doesn't make sense.

521
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,880
OK, I'll tell you what.

522
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Just to make the boss happy,

523
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,920
let me get these questions out of the
way.

524
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,840
Yeah, sure, of course.
You're just doing your job.

525
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,880
Uh, you were saying about last night.

526
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,720
You were there the entire night.
That's correct.

527
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,960
Is there any way
for me to confirm that,

528
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,120
just so we can put the whole issue to
bed?

529
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,200
Yeah, sure. Erm...

530
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,680
Yes, you could speak to Julius.
Julius?

531
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:32,120
My doorman. He'll tell you my car
was out front the entire night.

532
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Julius. OK, fine. Julius.

533
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Julius?

534
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,520
That raises a question,

535
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,880
and now I remember why I couldn't
sleep.

536
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,560
See, I spoke to the paramedics that
treated that young boy.

537
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,600
What I don't understand is this.

538
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,800
If you were there the whole night...

539
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,920
..why did you take so long to meet
them out front?

540
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,720
I should have realised that's what's
bothering you.

541
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,720
So you can see the reason for my
concern? Oh, absolutely.

542
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,960
Look, Lieutenant, usually, anything
like this happens,

543
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,080
the best way to get me is my beeper.

544
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,520
I get a page, I head to the front
door. Last night,

545
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,160
my batteries were dead,
I never got the alert.

546
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,520
Oh, and what was it that alerted you
to the problem?

547
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,320
Word of mouth, I think. Yes, someone
said they were looking for me.

548
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,880
Oh, I see.

549
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,440
Well, that explains it.

550
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,000
It was your batteries, they didn't
work.

551
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,440
And to think I could have saved you
a trip down here. All right.

552
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,480
So, you get back to your party, sir.

553
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Sorry again for bothering you.
Not at all.

554
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,280
Oh, actually, er...

555
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,320
if you don't mind, sir,

556
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,920
just one more thing. I'm curious.

557
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,040
What was your morning like?
What kind of morning?

558
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,560
Yeah, you got up, you showered,

559
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,040
you had a Pop Tart. What else?

560
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,840
I just went to the club, directly.
I had a lot of work to do.

561
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,520
Oh, directly, yeah? I mean, you
didn't stop for coffee or nothing?

562
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,560
Not that I can remember, why?

563
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,320
Well, it was just that when I saw you
this morning,

564
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,360
your beeper was working fine.

565
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:16,880
So I figured that maybe you replaced
the batteries at some point

566
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,920
before arriving at the club.

567
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,400
That's very clever, Lieutenant.

568
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,240
I like that. I actually replaced
them last night,

569
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,760
immediately after the incident.
I keep a spare pack in the car.

570
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,280
Oh, well, that certainly clears it
up.

571
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,400
And I must say,

572
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,440
that is smart thinking.

573
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,480
You can never be too prepared,
right? Oh no, sir, you can't.

574
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,800
You have a good night now.
Thank you, Lieutenant, and you.

575
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,040
(PHONE RINGING)

576
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,600
ANSWERPHONE: This is Linwood.
Leave your message.

577
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,640
(BEEP) Hey, you there? Hey, pick up
the phone, damn it!

578
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,760
All right, all right, OK, pal.

579
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,880
This is Sean Jarvis again. Hey, pal,
I don't appreciate these little
games you're playing.

580
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,920
I'm still here waiting for my money.

581
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,480
Hey, the number's 310-0152.

582
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,160
Sean Jarvis. You call me, you hear?

583
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,960
Sean Jarvis?

584
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,920
Yes, what is it?
I'm Lieutenant Columbo, Homicide.

585
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,760
I was wondering if I could
ask you a few questions.

586
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,720
What's this about? You're familiar
with a man called Linwood Coben?

587
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,760
Correct?

588
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,800
Yeah, that's right.

589
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,360
Do you mind if I asked you what your
relationship is to Mr Coben?

590
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,680
Hey. I barely know the guy. Why?

591
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:29,120
Well, he was found dead yesterday
morning.

592
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,480
What's this got to do with me?

593
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,840
Well, Mr Jarvis, earlier today I
overheard the message

594
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,360
that you left for him on his
answering machine.

595
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Now, you mentioned some money
that he owed you.

596
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,120
Yeah, he owed me 300 bucks.

597
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,240
What was the money for?
This might sound stupid to you.

598
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,280
But one day he knocks on my door.

599
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,440
He says he'll give me 100 bucks
if he can see my back yard.

600
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,480
He wanted to see your back yard?

601
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,400
I took him back there.
He looks around for a minute.

602
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,840
Then says he'll give me
another couple of hundred

603
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,000
if he can hang out there
for a couple of hours.

604
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,640
For what purpose?
He liked my trees.

605
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,680
He liked your trees?

606
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:10,160
Do you remember, was there one
particular tree

607
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,200
that he was interested in?

608
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:14,240
Yeah, that one over there.

609
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,280
That one?
Yeah.

610
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,320
He climbed up about eight, ten feet.

611
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,360
Said he liked the view.

612
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,800
Who am I to argue, right?
He liked the view?

613
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,840
That's what he said.

614
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,960
OK. You happen to have a ladder?

615
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,400
I've never been a fan of heights,
but...

616
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,680
You said he liked the view.

617
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:36,720
Oh.

618
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,760
By the way, Mr Jarvis,

619
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,320
do you happen to remember when was
the last time you saw Mr Coben?

620
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,200
Saturday, I think it was Saturday.

621
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:49,360
Last Saturday. That's four days ago.
What date was that?

622
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,400
Today is the 26th.

623
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,440
So that must have been the 22nd.

624
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,480
22nd?

625
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,520
OK.

626
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,240
(KNOCKING)

627
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,440
Good afternoon, miss.
Oh, I'm not interested.

628
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,480
I'm really not...

629
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,000
Lieutenant Columbo. Sometimes I'm
a little slow at these things.

630
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,240
I wonder if I could
ask you a few questions.

631
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,120
About what?
Do you mind if I come in?

632
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,160
No.

633
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,200
Sure.

634
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:53,440
Is there something you're looking
for?

635
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,480
Would you mind me asking
what it is you do for a living?

636
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,520
I'm an actress.

637
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,560
Oh, really?

638
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,600
Anything I might have seen?
No.

639
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,280
I had a sitcom,
but it just got cancelled.

640
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,320
Sorry to hear that.

641
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:12,160
In your line of work, have you ever
heard of a man named Linwood Coben?

642
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,360
Yeah. I've heard of him. Why?

643
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,400
So that you know.

644
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,240
He's a tabloid guy.
Goes around taking pictures.

645
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,280
Spying on people.

646
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,320
Celebrities like yourself mostly.

647
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,360
I guess, yeah, sure.

648
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,080
And if he were in fact
writing a story about you,

649
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,760
would you be aware of it?

650
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,800
Most likely.

651
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,840
My publicist usually
keeps me up on things like that.

652
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,400
And your publicist has not made you
aware of anything recently?

653
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,440
No. No, I don't think so.

654
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,800
But I'd be surprised if he's ever
written anything about me.

655
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,840
Why do you say that?

656
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,680
Oh, well, guys like him
usually go after the bigger names.

657
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:56,320
Why do you ask?
I'm just following up on a case.

658
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,960
Mr Coben recently passed away
a couple of nights ago.

659
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
I'm just nosing around.

660
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,920
I'm sorry. I can't help you any
further.

661
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,360
That's all right.
Thank you for your time.

662
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,840
You know, I'm afraid
I never got your name.

663
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,880
Oh, it's Vanessa.

664
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,920
I'm Vanessa Farrow.

665
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,240
A very comfortable house
you have here.

666
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,760
Nice taste, the decor.

667
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,560
Thank you.
Done some redecorating recently?

668
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,240
Um, no. Not recently.

669
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,280
Oh, no?

670
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,320
Oh, that's strange.

671
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,360
What's that?

672
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,400
It's silly I know,
but I notice the strangest things.

673
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,440
I just assumed

674
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,960
from these indentations in the carpet
here,

675
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,600
it would appear as though you
recently had a bigger coffee table.

676
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,040
You know what, I forgot.
I did just buy a new one.

677
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,400
It's very nice.
It really is very nice.

678
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,760
Me, I have no sense
for this kind of thing.

679
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,800
Anyway, thanks again.

680
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,840
Thank you for the time.

681
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,880
My pleasure.

682
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,640
Ah, here we go.

683
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,680
6/3.

684
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:51,240
6/10.

685
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,280
Jogging.

686
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,160
6/14.

687
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,440
6/22.

688
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,480
6/22, it's empty.

689
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,520
But all the other ones...

690
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Why are there no pictures here?

691
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,040
Jarvis said you were there.

692
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,400
You were in the tree, you took
pictures. You even made a file.

693
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,120
I don't get it.

694
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,840
Lieutenant Columbo.

695
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,160
I was wondering when you'd show up
again.

696
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,720
Are you happy to see me?
Always, Lieutenant.

697
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,760
I appreciate that.

698
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,800
Gee, I had no idea - fish!

699
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,560
Last time I was here,
I didn't even see the tanks.

700
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,080
They're gonna look great,
don't you think?

701
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,200
Yeah. A lot of thought went into all
of this.

702
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:59,040
I wanna hand it to you.
So, what's up?

703
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,080
Just one quick question, actually.

704
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,440
Yesterday,

705
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,440
you mentioned to me that Mr Coben met
with you on business

706
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,360
the night of his death.

707
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,400
That's right.

708
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,840
He'd recently taken a picture of
somebody.

709
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,320
He then sold back to this person the
negative for a price.

710
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,360
Is that correct?
Basically, yeah.

711
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,400
Now, this person...

712
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,680
I understand you're uncomfortable
telling me point blank who it is,

713
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:28,720
but how about we say this?

714
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,760
Say, I give you a name,

715
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,800
one name,

716
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,440
then you tell me whether this
is the person in the picture or not?

717
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,480
Why not?

718
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,920
Vanessa Farrow.

719
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,440
She's not the one.

720
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,480
No, huh? Ah.

721
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,040
Well, I just thought I'd throw it
out.

722
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,080
Cos all kinds of names come up
in this sort of investigation.

723
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,920
You never know where one will lead.
No, of course.

724
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,960
No harm in trying. Maybe next time.

725
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,480
Maybe next time. When do you open?

726
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,120
Tomorrow night.
I wanna wish you a lot of luck.

727
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,160
Thank you very much.
Good day, sir.

728
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,000
Bye-bye now.

729
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,840
I've been trying to call you.

730
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,160
That guy Columbo, the cop, found me.

731
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,240
How?

732
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,600
I don't know. But that guy the other
nigh, was his name Coben?

733
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,080
Yeah.
Oh, my God!

734
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,440
What did you tell him?
I didn't tell him anything.

735
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,440
He doesn't know anything, but...

736
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,720
he's way too close and if I can't
get hold of you...

737
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,960
Hey, that's all we gotta do,
just keep our distance, all right?

738
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,440
So long as he can't put the two of
us together, we are sweet.

739
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,480
What if I have to call you?

740
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,720
All you do is go to a pay phone,
page me, and I'll call you back.

741
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,920
If we have to meet up, we'll arrange
it then,

742
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,640
but we have covered our tracks, all
right?

743
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,160
We've just got to keep swimming
a little bit longer.

744
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,080
Now go.

745
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,000
You got something for me?

746
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Yeah, those threats you heard about.
The ones against Linwood.

747
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,040
Some pretty interesting stuff.

748
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,080
Excuse me just a second.

749
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,600
Excuse me. The name you just
mentioned, the missing person?

750
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,640
What was that again?

751
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,680
A guy named Tony Galper.

752
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:43,720
Tony Galper?

753
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,760
I'm sorry.

754
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,800
I need to check something out.

755
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,840
We will meet on this later.

756
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,080
Lieutenant Columbo.
Yeah, what is it?

757
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,120
A package I need you to sign for.

758
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,400
Vanessa Galper.

759
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,840
Galper!

760
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,160
Her ex.

761
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,560
6/13.

762
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,360
And a 6/20.

763
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,400
Ah.

764
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,440
6/22.

765
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,480
Empty.

766
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,760
Thanks for meeting me.

767
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,080
What were you saying
back at the office?

768
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,120
Those rumours you heard about.
They're legitimate.

769
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,840
Three of the rags that were working
with Linwood

770
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,880
received threats on his behalf.

771
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,120
They said that they were warned
repeatedly

772
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,440
to stay away from the story he was
working on.

773
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,160
Did they say who was behind the
threats? No, sir.

774
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,120
They were tight-lipped.
But that's not all though.

775
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,640
Recently Linwood reported
that his car had been vandalised.

776
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,280
Somebody through a brick
through the window.

777
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,920
They found this note wrapped around
the brick.

778
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,160
Signed "G".

779
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,840
Oh, boy.

780
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,960
Do you mind if I borrow this?
No, sir.

781
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,280
This guy Linwood, he stumbled
onto something, didn't he?

782
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,640
It looks that way.
Made somebody pretty angry.

783
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,400
Angry enough to kill him?
I don't know.

784
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,360
Miss Farrow!

785
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,400
Hi.

786
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,440
Mr...?
Columbo.

787
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,760
Lieutenant Columbo.
Right. I'm sorry.

788
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,800
Don't be sorry. It's not a problem.

789
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,160
Are you following me?

790
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,200
Ah, no. No.

791
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,640
I was hoping I could find
a different size.

792
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,680
These are all extra large.

793
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,720
Can you believe that?

794
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,560
Like this one. I'm not what you'd
call up with the fashion these days,

795
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,600
but let me ask you something.

796
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,960
This is too big, isn't it?

797
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,520
It's a look, but maybe for you
a little smaller.

798
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,760
Yeah, I agree.
But they don't have any.

799
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,400
My wife always tells me
to brighten things up.

800
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,040
I'm sure she would have enjoyed
seeing me in something like this.

801
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,080
It's a shame.

802
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:07,000
Come to think about it, it's actually
a good thing my running into you.

803
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,440
It saved me a trip up
to that house of yours.

804
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,880
Those canyon roads,
they make me nervous.

805
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,920
You have more questions for me?

806
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,960
Yes.

807
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
About your ex-husband.

808
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,280
About Tony?

809
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,520
When was the last time
that you saw him?

810
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,840
A while back. Is he OK?

811
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,680
As a matter of fact,
and I'm sorry to tell you this,

812
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,800
recently a member of his family
reported him missing.

813
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,840
Oh, no.

814
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,840
Did you know that Tony's father
was a member of the New York Mob?

815
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,760
Actually a boss. Joe Gienelli.

816
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,560
I'm the only one that knows that.

817
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,600
Not the only one, miss.

818
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,760
What do you mean?
Well, for starters,

819
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,800
I know.

820
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,440
A couple of weeks ago, the cops
found this note in Linwood's car.

821
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,480
See how it's signed there with a "G"?

822
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:03,760
And I recently came across some notes
that Coben had on this subject

823
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,600
and that "G" is Joe Gienelli.

824
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,640
Tony's father.

825
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,680
I-I don't understand.

826
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,840
Coben was following your ex-husband.

827
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,000
He knew the truth about Tony's
father.

828
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,600
And Gienelli didn't want him
to go public with the story.

829
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,360
So you think these are the people
responsible for Linwood's death?

830
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,400
I wish it were that easy.

831
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,240
But with Tony missing,
it doesn't add up.

832
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,200
And you say
you haven't seen him in a while?

833
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,240
Um, no. I'm sorry.

834
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,880
Well, if anything turns up,
I'll let you know.

835
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,920
Thank you. I appreciate that.

836
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,040
Oh, just one more question, Miss
Farrow.

837
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,840
Where were you the night of Linwood's
death?

838
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,880
I was home.

839
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,480
Anyone you know who can verify that?

840
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,400
I was home alone.
Very good, Miss Farrow.

841
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,440
Good day.

842
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,480
Bye.

843
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,640
You learn anything yet about Tony
Galper's disappearance?

844
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,280
Yes, sir. We got his whereabouts
mapped out until three days ago.

845
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,320
Then he just vanishes. No trace.

846
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,360
Really?

847
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,120
Three days ago, huh?
What day was that, the 24th?

848
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Yes, sir.

849
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,880
Are you sure it was the 24th
and not the 22nd?

850
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,920
Yes, sir, the 24th. Last Monday.

851
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,160
Checked out of his hotel room
at 10:15.

852
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,280
Then he dropped off
a Renault car in a lot nearby. Here.

853
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,800
Got a record of his hotel bill
and receipts for the rental car.

854
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,840
No signature.

855
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,880
Sorry, sir?

856
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,240
This car rental receipt,
what's the address on this place?

857
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,320
Excuse me, miss!

858
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,360
Miss, I'm sorry to interrupt.

859
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,400
I'm curious about something.

860
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,280
As a customer, say,
when I drop off a car,

861
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,000
isn't there some paperwork
that I have to sign?

862
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,720
No, not necessarily, sir. You drop
off the car and leave your key.

863
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,760
There's a drop box right outside the
door for your key.

864
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,920
Amazing.

865
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,640
Are you telling me a person can check
out of a hotel

866
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,640
without signing anything?

867
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,680
Right. It happens all the time.

868
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,800
How do you check out without signing?

869
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,240
You pick up the phone
and say you're checking out.

870
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,160
We charge the credit card
and send you a report of the bill.

871
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,480
So when you leave,
nobody sees you go?

872
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,040
No.
Very convenient.

873
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,880
Here's the maid. Her name is Miki.
She'll answer any questions.
Thank you very much.

874
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,320
Miki?
Yeah.

875
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,520
How's it going?
Good.

876
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,360
You cleaned Mr Galper's room?
Yeah.

877
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,400
Just you? Nobody else?

878
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,440
Yeah. Just me.

879
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,480
And the bedroom,

880
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,520
every morning,

881
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,560
the bed messed?

882
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Messed, yeah.

883
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,640
What about the bathroom?
Messed.

884
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,680
Uh-huh.

885
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,760
The shower?

886
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,800
Shower wet.

887
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,920
And the sink?
Yeah, he used the sink.

888
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,960
Sink wet?
Yeah, and dirty.

889
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,680
And you cleaned every day?

890
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,720
Yeah.

891
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,960
And Mr Galper,

892
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,000
how long did he stay here?

893
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,320
He checked out Monday, so he was
week before and two days...

894
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,360
Nine days.

895
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,400
And you remember that?

896
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,040
Yeah, I remember.
You remember him that well?

897
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,480
I remember real well.
Why?

898
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,520
He don't want me to say.

899
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,560
Come on, he don't care.

900
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,600
I don't want to say.

901
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,600
OK. So, when you clean,
you start here?

902
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,040
Or you start in the bedroom?
No. Bathroom.

903
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,480
I start back at the sink
and then move out.

904
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,360
Was he ever here when you were here?

905
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,400
Yeah.

906
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,440
One time.

907
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,480
So, what happened?

908
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,520
Come on. Tell me.

909
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,520
I make joke.

910
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,560
So, what did you say?

911
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,600
OK.

912
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,240
I say, Mr Galper,
will you please do me favour?

913
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,280
And he like me, I can tell.

914
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,320
So, he say, "What? I do it."

915
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:18,520
So I say, when you use this, can you
please stand closer to the bowl?

916
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,200
And he laughed and said,
"Do I miss?"

917
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,120
And I say yeah.
Every day, for six days.

918
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,160
So what happened?

919
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,200
Nothing.

920
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,240
He still miss.

921
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,280
Every day.

922
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,320
Except for last day.

923
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,760
Last day the only day he hit water
not bowl.

924
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,240
And that was Monday.
Yeah.

925
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,880
The day he checked out, the 24th?

926
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,440
Yeah.
Did you see him on Monday?

927
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,280
No. He check out early.

928
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,720
So the last day,
that was the only day...

929
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,920
BOTH: ..that he hit the water
and not the bowl.

930
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,960
You're terrific.
Thank you.

931
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,520
Excuse me. Excuse me.

932
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,560
I'm sorry to bother you.

933
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,880
I think I'm a little lost.
Can you point me to Grant Street?

934
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,920
Sure.

935
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,960
You go on Ocean

936
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,080
and it looks like, yeah,
take a right

937
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,200
and you go one block,
you run right into it. Right here.

938
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,240
Oh, yeah, I see it now.

939
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,280
I'm here from New York on business.

940
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,440
It's already the third time
I'm lost.

941
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,480
The name is Freddie.

942
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,520
Lieutenant...
Columbo, right?

943
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,560
Yeah.

944
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,600
You see, this business of mine,

945
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,640
I'm sort of a messenger.

946
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,000
And these people I work for,
they're very private.

947
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,640
They sent me out here to check up on
a few things.

948
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,680
I see.

949
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,120
Well, that sounds like
interesting work.

950
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,280
As a matter of fact,
your name came up.

951
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,840
One of the people they wanted me to
track down.

952
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,600
They were a little concerned about
Tony Galper's disappearance.

953
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,360
That's the case you're looking into?
Yes, it is.

954
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,120
These people, they want me to keep
tabs on things,

955
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,640
make sure things are progressing
smoothly.

956
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,880
I understand, but I'm afraid we don't
have much right now.

957
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,920
What about the basics?
We suspect there's foul play.

958
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,960
All right. See that? That's good.

959
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,680
Cos these people,
they think so also.

960
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,720
Yeah? Why is that?

961
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,520
Apparently, Mr Galper's been
juggling some big-money investments

962
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,560
around recently.

963
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,080
Made the people back home
a little nervous.

964
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,120
But things were going OK until now.

965
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,160
Oh, so you think that...

966
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,320
Whoa. I'm just a messenger,
remember?

967
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,280
I don't think anything.
Oh, pardon me.

968
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,440
These people, they think that one of
Mr Galper's investments,

969
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,200
that's what's behind his
disappearance?

970
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,440
It's a concern.
Any one in particular?

971
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,480
You remember a name?

972
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,520
I don't. I'm sorry.

973
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,400
There were fish though.
I remember that.

974
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,440
Something about fish.

975
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,960
The Bait?
That's the one.

976
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,560
You see, after Mr Galper's
disappearance,

977
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,360
they went through his investments

978
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,600
and froze whatever deals were still
pending.

979
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,120
And The Bait was one of those?
No, actually.

980
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,160
And that's the thing.

981
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,200
Turns out that investment was
finalised on the day...

982
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,240
Hang on. Let me get this right.

983
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,560
On the morning of the day Mr Galper
actually disappeared.

984
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,600
Now ain't that something?

985
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,640
You mean the 24th?

986
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,320
Yep. The 24th. Exactly.

987
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,360
I appreciate the information.

988
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,400
And I'll look into it.

989
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:32,160
Listen, if there's anything
I can help you with,

990
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,200
please.

991
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,520
Well, I don't think
I'm gonna need this.

992
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,560
But thanks anyhow.

993
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,600
We should double this order.

994
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,200
I don't want to run short this
evening, because if we do...

995
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,240
Tonight's the big one, right?

996
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,040
You know,

997
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,600
my day wouldn't be complete without
at least one of your little visits.

998
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,640
I'm sorry about Tony.

999
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,960
Tony?
Mr Galper. One of your investors.

1000
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,000
You do know he's missing?

1001
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,880
Of course I know he's missing.
It's terrible.

1002
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,720
Yeah, must be kind of sad not to have
him here to see all this.

1003
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,760
You have no idea.

1004
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:16,800
This is as much his as it is mine.

1005
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,200
I'm sorry, I'm lost.
It's a picture of Tony.

1006
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:32,360
I found it and quite a few more like
it in Linwood's files.

1007
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,720
Why would Linwood
have pictures of Tony?

1008
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,680
Linwood was following him for a
story.

1009
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,720
A story about what?

1010
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:43,320
Mr Price, Tony's last name was not
Galper.

1011
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,360
What?

1012
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,400
It was Gienelli.

1013
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:52,520
Linwood was following him
because his father is Joe Gienelli.

1014
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,840
And Joe Gienelli is Mafia.

1015
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,080
He's the head of one
of the five New York families.

1016
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,120
You're kidding me now, Lieutenant.

1017
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,160
I'm not kidding you.

1018
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,880
As a matter of fact, I just had an
interesting conversation

1019
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,120
with a man representing Tony's
father.

1020
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:14,080
He came all the way out here just to
see how my investigation was going.

1021
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,920
I thought you were investigating
Linwood's case.

1022
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,960
I'm working on both now.

1023
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:23,920
Anyway, you can imagine Tony's father
is real anxious to find the people

1024
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,360
responsible for his son's
disappearance.

1025
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,400
Although, given the chance,

1026
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:31,440
he'd probably like to take justice
into his own hands.

1027
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,280
Really?

1028
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,320
I didn't know that.

1029
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,360
By the way, I meant to ask you.

1030
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:45,680
After Mr Galper's investment money
was transferred,

1031
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,720
and everything was complete,

1032
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,640
was there a call you made to him
maybe to say thanks,

1033
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,680
congratulations?

1034
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,720
Actually, yeah.

1035
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,240
We arranged to meet for a drink.
And did you?

1036
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,280
Yes, we did. Later on that day.

1037
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,840
You really are something else,
Lieutenant.

1038
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,880
Why do you say that?

1039
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,560
Tony was an enthusiastic partner in
this club.

1040
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,080
Please tell me why I would want to
get rid of him.

1041
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,320
I dunno.

1042
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,360
No.

1043
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,120
What are these fish called?

1044
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,520
Koi.
Fantastic.

1045
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,320
Oh, my gosh.

1046
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,360
Fantastic.

1047
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,320
What a great idea.

1048
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:48,360
Fish in the dance floor.

1049
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,400
Fantastic.

1050
01:11:50,440 --> 01:11:52,440
Yeah, fantastic.

1051
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,520
Good luck tonight.

1052
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,000
(KNOCKING)

1053
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,800
Lieutenant?

1054
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,240
Sorry to bother you.
I hope you don't mind.

1055
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,280
I'm in a bit of a rush today.

1056
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,800
I'm afraid these things won't wait.
It'll just take a minute.

1057
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,840
What is that?

1058
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,880
Do you mind?

1059
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:26,920
Um...

1060
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,440
I really don't have much time.
I understand.

1061
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:32,480
I'll just get right to it.

1062
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,520
Thank you.
You're welcome.

1063
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,120
Er...

1064
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,800
So...?

1065
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,840
Just getting my notes.

1066
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,880
OK.

1067
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,400
My problem is,
the two cases I'm working on,

1068
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:53,640
the murder of Linwood Coben
and your husband's disappearance.

1069
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,000
Ex-husband.
Ex-husband, you're right.

1070
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,040
You're right, you're right.

1071
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,360
Anyhow, the only way these two cases
make any sense,

1072
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,680
they gotta have a common tie.

1073
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,120
Where is this heading, Lieutenant?

1074
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,160
It's just this tie between them.

1075
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,280
That's the thing that had me stumped.

1076
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:15,320
I have a suspect in the Coben murder
that I'm reasonably certain about.

1077
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:19,200
But I'm having a devil of a time
tying that suspect

1078
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,320
to the suspect that I'm circling
in your husband's...

1079
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,360
Excuse me.

1080
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,400
Your ex-husband's disappearance.

1081
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:29,360
And who is that?
Well, that's you, Miss Farrow.

1082
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:31,400
You see, once it occurred to me...

1083
01:13:32,440 --> 01:13:37,080
..that one suspect might know the
other suspect, that opened the door.

1084
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:41,120
I'm sorry, Mr Columbo. This makes...
I don't know anything about this.

1085
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,240
I don't know what you're talking
about. I think you do.

1086
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:45,880
What is that?

1087
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,600
These are phone records
that belong to Justin Price.

1088
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,600
All the calls that he receives on
that pager of his.

1089
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,560
I've highlighted the calls on your
phone number.

1090
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,280
And a number of them were made
the morning after Mr Coben's death.

1091
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,120
This doesn't prove anything.
No, it doesn't. But it helps.

1092
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,640
I'm gonna run along.
I know you're in a rush.

1093
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,200
You keep these. Look at them
at your leisure.

1094
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,800
One more question, ma'am.

1095
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:17,840
You made a lot of calls to him.

1096
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,200
Did you ever ask yourself why he
didn't call you back

1097
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,240
when you needed him?

1098
01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:25,880
You've no idea
what you're talking about.

1099
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,680
You're right, ma'am. Sorry.

1100
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,840
Yeah, it's me.
I have to see you right now.

1101
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,360
'Where are you?'
A pay phone, like you said.

1102
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,400
'What's wrong?'
He knows.

1103
01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:45,720
He knows about us.
I have to see you right now.

1104
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,040
'No way. I open the doors in two
minutes.'

1105
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,400
Justin. I have to see you now.

1106
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,800
Vanessa, go home.

1107
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,240
Let me in, Julius.
Go home. He'll call you.

1108
01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:10,480
(POUNDING RAVE MUSIC)

1109
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,400
He got a hold of your call history
on your pager.

1110
01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:10,440
My number is all over it.

1111
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,520
What did I tell you?

1112
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,840
What am I supposed to do?
He's on my back.

1113
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:17,880
He's getting closer and closer.

1114
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:19,920
Calm down!

1115
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,800
We're talking about murder!
Going to jail!

1116
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,240
How am I supposed to be calm?
Stop it, Ness!

1117
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:28,280
He doesn't have a thing.

1118
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,800
He doesn't have a case
without Tony's body.

1119
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,840
All we have...

1120
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,880
(SILENCE)

1121
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,560
Rusty, what's going on?
I'm sorry, sir. I apologise.

1122
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,960
This is un...
You knew this was my opening night!

1123
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,520
You're right. It's an intrusion.
No, no, no!

1124
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,440
Let me tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'll sue your ass!

1125
01:16:50,480 --> 01:16:52,760
You're not gonna sue cos that's
foolish.

1126
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,320
It's foolish.
Get out of my club.

1127
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,360
I got it right here. I got a warrant.

1128
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,400
Here it is.

1129
01:17:00,440 --> 01:17:02,960
I'm sorry?
I have a warrant.

1130
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Take this up to Mr Price, would you?

1131
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,640
It's an extra copy. You can keep it.

1132
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:11,080
Just so you folks understand.
We'll be here ten, 15 minutes.

1133
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,120
Working on a missing person's.

1134
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,280
If you want to stay, you're welcome.
You gotta be quiet.

1135
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,320
Mr Price...

1136
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,360
Almost forgot.

1137
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,800
This is a fabulous club.

1138
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,640
And this man is responsible for it.

1139
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,680
This is all his vision here.

1140
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,720
This is his design.

1141
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,480
And I think we all owe him a big
hand.

1142
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,120
Mr Price,

1143
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,240
I wonder if Miss Farrow would join
us.

1144
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,560
I think she'd be interested in this,
too.

1145
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,120
Miss Farrow.

1146
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,680
You recall, sir,
I dropped by earlier today.

1147
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,720
I had the photo of Tony Galper.
Yes.

1148
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:55,760
I remember.

1149
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:57,800
Do you remember when I was leaving?

1150
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,840
I got over here.

1151
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:02,880
Just about with the fish.
What are they called again?

1152
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,920
Koi.

1153
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,040
Koi. Right. Magnificent creatures.

1154
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,880
The different shapes
and the different colours.

1155
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:12,920
Look at that guy there.

1156
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,440
Look at that orange.
Isn't that fantastic?

1157
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:17,480
Anyway, they caught my eye.

1158
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,800
And I noticed
that there were 14 of them.

1159
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:21,840
Now I was going this way. I'm sorry.

1160
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,880
And another colour caught my eye.

1161
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,840
But in this tank I noticed
there were only nine fish.

1162
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,080
Each one more beautiful than the
other.

1163
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,120
But only nine.

1164
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:35,280
When I got over here I was struck
because there's 14 here just like...

1165
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,040
Please!
Please tell me this nonsense

1166
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,560
has something to do with obtaining
the warrant.

1167
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,880
Absolutely.
Let me tell you something.

1168
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:44,920
I've got a nephew.

1169
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,160
He works in that zoo,
down in San Diego.

1170
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,200
The one with the big whale.

1171
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,760
And he tells me there's
a rule for fish tanks.

1172
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,200
I don't know if you're aware of this
or not.

1173
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:58,480
But he tells me that for every inch
of fish in the tank,

1174
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,720
you've got to have
one gallon of water.

1175
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,760
So if you have two goldfish,

1176
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,680
each of them one inch,
that's a total of two inches,

1177
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,720
you gotta have two gallons of water.

1178
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,960
Don't ask me who comes up with this
stuff.

1179
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,000
But that's what he told me.

1180
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,040
He had it checked out and it's true.

1181
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,080
So, Junior...

1182
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,720
Can we get these two things here?

1183
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,920
It has to do with waste and
filtration

1184
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,040
and things that I don't understand.

1185
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,080
What this all means is...

1186
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,120
..the more fish you got,

1187
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,160
the more water you need.

1188
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,720
About four feet.

1189
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:41,160
So this tank has 14 fish
and it's about four feet deep.

1190
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,400
This is ridiculous, Columbo.
Even for you.

1191
01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:46,440
Yeah, but I'm not finished.

1192
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:50,280
With this formula, and this is the
part that really got my attention,

1193
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:55,280
it follows, the less space you have,
the less fish you can keep.

1194
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,320
In this tank here,

1195
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,360
we've only got nine fish.

1196
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,720
About two feet.

1197
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,160
This tank is only two feet deep.

1198
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,200
That's why it's only got nine fish.

1199
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,920
Less space, less fish.

1200
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,960
Am I holding you up?

1201
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,000
Come on, get started.

1202
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,680
Work right here
on the nine-fish tank.

1203
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,720
This is only gonna take a minute.

1204
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:31,280
You see, I'm not sure what happened
to Tony Galper.

1205
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,320
But he is missing
and I was thinking hypothetically,

1206
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,360
if something did happen to him,

1207
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,480
and somehow, Miss Farrow, you
happened to be involved,

1208
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,040
you knew the people Tony was
associated with,

1209
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:45,560
you had to assume if they found out,
they'd probably kill you.

1210
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,600
I'm just talking hypothetically.

1211
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,640
Now, you, Mr Price,

1212
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,680
you had a lot riding on Tony's
investment in this club.

1213
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,600
And this place meant a great deal to
you.

1214
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,640
Say something did happen to him.

1215
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,840
In order to ensure the receipt of his
money,

1216
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,880
you would have needed to help Miss
Farrow cover it up.

1217
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:05,920
Got it, Lieutenant.
OK, go.

1218
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,040
That device is actually called...
What is it again?

1219
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,360
A ground-penetrating radar device,
sir.

1220
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,400
Right.

1221
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,240
Amazing.

1222
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:03,320
So you buried him right here.

1223
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,360
Right under that tank.

1224
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,160
And appropriately enough,

1225
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,160
with the fishes, as they say.

1226
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,960
This place really
could have been something.

1227
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Too bad.

1228
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,520
Good evening, Mr Price.

1229
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,560
Miss Farrow.

1230
01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:45,480
Good work, Lieutenant.

1231
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,600
The people back east
are gonna be very pleased.

1232
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,640
Listen.

1233
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,680
If there's anything I can ever do.

1234
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,720
Yes, very nice.

1235
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,160
I really appreciate that.
