1
00:00:38,907 --> 00:00:40,108
Mr. Williamson...
2
00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:41,442
Where is he?
3
00:00:41,676 --> 00:00:42,911
He's not in.
4
00:00:43,811 --> 00:00:47,448
He's there, isn't he?
I don't believe you, ma'am.
5
00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:52,253
You can't go in there!
Mr. Williamson.
6
00:01:04,933 --> 00:01:06,501
It's incredible, isn't it?
7
00:01:09,737 --> 00:01:13,641
Williamson City... that's very
impressive.
8
00:01:14,676 --> 00:01:16,411
Doesn't it make you feel proud?
9
00:01:19,814 --> 00:01:23,384
Mr. Williamson! Mr. Williamson!
10
00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:26,921
I said where is he?
11
00:01:27,488 --> 00:01:28,957
At the construction site.
12
00:01:54,048 --> 00:01:55,016
Where's Markham?
13
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:56,317
He's up there.
14
00:01:59,454 --> 00:02:00,822
Markham, up there?
15
00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:01,823
Who?
16
00:02:01,923 --> 00:02:03,024
Markham, Markham.
17
00:02:03,191 --> 00:02:06,794
He's not up here. I think he's over on
the bridge.
18
00:02:07,629 --> 00:02:10,231
Hey, Mr. Markham, Mr. Markham.
19
00:02:10,331 --> 00:02:11,766
I saw him five minutes ago...
20
00:02:11,866 --> 00:02:15,870
...when he came in... what are you
yelling about?
21
00:02:16,004 --> 00:02:17,472
Thank you, thank you.
22
00:02:27,482 --> 00:02:28,883
Boy, that guy's sure in a hurry.
23
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:30,118
Yes, he is.
24
00:02:34,389 --> 00:02:37,291
You wanna talk about the
dedication later, Mr. Markham?
25
00:02:37,392 --> 00:02:39,494
No, Carl. I wanna talk about it
right now.
26
00:02:39,961 --> 00:02:41,462
What time is it scheduled to start?
27
00:02:41,863 --> 00:02:43,164
Nine o'clock in the morning, sir.
28
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:49,404
And you've got the seats facing
East?
29
00:02:49,671 --> 00:02:52,740
East? Oh, is that East? Oh, yeah.
That's East.
30
00:02:53,341 --> 00:02:55,677
We don't want the people looking into the
sun, do we? Carl.
31
00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:57,412
No, sir. I'll rearrange the seats,
Mr. Markham.
32
00:02:57,578 --> 00:02:58,680
Thank you, Carl.
33
00:02:59,514 --> 00:03:04,585
Bo! What a pleasant surprise.
Didn't know you were here.
34
00:03:06,421 --> 00:03:07,588
When did you get back?
35
00:03:07,889 --> 00:03:09,891
Just in time, it looks like!
36
00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:11,025
What's the matter?
37
00:03:11,292 --> 00:03:13,227
Williamson City, that's what's the
matter.
38
00:03:13,928 --> 00:03:15,329
Oh, you spoke to your wife.
39
00:03:15,463 --> 00:03:18,066
No, I didn't speak to my wife.
I just got back from eight weeks...
40
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:20,702
...in Europe and I find she's off at
some phoney health farm.
41
00:03:20,902 --> 00:03:21,736
Well, maybe I better explain.
42
00:03:21,903 --> 00:03:23,438
You don't have to explain anything.
43
00:03:23,604 --> 00:03:27,108
You know what else I found? A bunch
of letters between you and her and...
44
00:03:27,241 --> 00:03:29,343
...about a mile-high stack of
blueprints.
45
00:03:29,477 --> 00:03:32,380
Oh, it's the most revolutionary
concept I ever had.
46
00:03:32,647 --> 00:03:34,782
Jennifer and I assumed you'd be
delighted.
47
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:37,919
Delighted? Let me tell you. Nobody
throws a lasso around my...
48
00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:40,254
...money without my consent,
that includes my wife.
49
00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:41,689
And you had better believe it!
50
00:03:41,856 --> 00:03:44,358
Well, you were in Europe. There was
no way to get in touch with you.
51
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:45,760
You could've waited.
52
00:03:45,927 --> 00:03:47,595
We were positive you'd agree.
53
00:03:47,729 --> 00:03:51,099
Agree? Forget it, boy.
The joyride is over!
54
00:03:51,232 --> 00:03:53,101
But the machinery's already been
set in motion.
55
00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:56,003
Well, then you unset it! And I'll
tell you something else.
56
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:58,339
Don't ever speak to my wife or me
again.
57
00:03:58,473 --> 00:04:00,975
She's too young to recognize
a con man when she sees one.
58
00:04:01,209 --> 00:04:04,045
Can I suggest you consider what
you're saying. You're not talking...
59
00:04:04,178 --> 00:04:04,979
...to one of your underlings.
60
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,415
Oh, listen. I know exactly who I'm
talking to.
61
00:04:07,582 --> 00:04:10,384
But Bo, listen, listen. This
project can give you immortality.
62
00:04:10,551 --> 00:04:13,020
As long as that city stands
your name will be remembered.
63
00:04:13,221 --> 00:04:17,859
Name? I'm gonna tell you something
Jackson boy! My wallet is a lot more...
64
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:19,527
...important to me than my name.
65
00:04:19,961 --> 00:04:21,829
You really are a Philistine,
aren't you?
66
00:04:21,963 --> 00:04:22,563
What?
67
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:25,666
All you care about is money. You
wouldn't reconize art if you...
68
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,169
...fell over it. We have a chance to
do something extraordinary here...
69
00:04:28,302 --> 00:04:29,070
and you're trying to ruin it.
70
00:04:29,303 --> 00:04:33,941
That's right. Quite right! And if
you're on some kind of an ego trip...
71
00:04:34,075 --> 00:04:35,810
...you find somebody else to pay
for it.
72
00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:37,478
Bo, I have a thought.
73
00:04:38,212 --> 00:04:40,548
Would you commission me to design
your burial vault?
74
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:44,452
That would be about your speed.
75
00:04:45,153 --> 00:04:47,088
You really would like to see me
dead, wouldn't you?
76
00:04:49,190 --> 00:04:51,425
But I'll tell you something.
It wouldn't count for much.
77
00:04:51,559 --> 00:04:53,427
Well, maybe your wife might have
other ideas.
78
00:04:53,561 --> 00:04:57,365
Don't mean a thing... because when I die
all of my money goes into trust.
79
00:04:57,498 --> 00:05:00,234
Jennifer'll get her share every
year, you can count on that.
80
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:05,807
But there won't be any cash to
build cities with. If you're...
81
00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:10,878
...thinkin' of any uglies... forget it.
82
00:05:28,129 --> 00:05:29,697
Mr. Markham, Bo Williamson was here
and...
83
00:05:29,831 --> 00:05:31,766
Get his wife on the phone, right away.
She's in Palm Springs...
84
00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:32,567
...at some health farm.
85
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:33,501
Golden Dunes retreat.
86
00:05:33,601 --> 00:05:35,002
That's the one. Get her.
87
00:05:56,824 --> 00:06:00,661
She is there, isn't she?... I see.
88
00:06:01,996 --> 00:06:06,234
Well, when will she be available?
All right, thank you.
89
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:07,668
Williamson do that?
90
00:06:07,802 --> 00:06:09,503
Yes, sir. He just barged right in.
When he saw it he...
91
00:06:09,604 --> 00:06:11,305
Never mind. Did you reach Jennifer?
92
00:06:11,405 --> 00:06:13,674
They won't put the call through to
her. The guests aren't allowed...
93
00:06:13,774 --> 00:06:15,009
...to have telephones.
94
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:17,378
Call her back. It's important.
95
00:06:17,511 --> 00:06:20,615
I'm sorry, but they said the guests
can't make or receive calls...
96
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:22,283
...during their stay.
97
00:06:24,552 --> 00:06:25,887
I see...
98
00:06:29,957 --> 00:06:32,894
Then she's virtually incommunicado.
99
00:06:32,994 --> 00:06:37,665
No telegrams, no outside visitors.
Just wheat germ and push-ups.
100
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,535
When does she get reprieved?
101
00:06:42,036 --> 00:06:44,338
Oh, she'll be back in time for the
dedication ceremonies.
102
00:06:47,041 --> 00:06:49,877
Thanks, Miss Sherman.
I think I love you.
103
00:06:53,681 --> 00:06:54,815
I needed that.
104
00:07:13,334 --> 00:07:20,441
Beautiful! Beautiful! Hey, Freddie!
That is absolutely beautiful.
105
00:07:20,608 --> 00:07:22,476
Bring that beauty back here.
106
00:07:23,611 --> 00:07:25,212
What have you been doing to him,
anyway?
107
00:07:25,346 --> 00:07:26,380
He's improved a lot since...
108
00:07:26,514 --> 00:07:28,649
I can see that. I can see that.
109
00:07:28,783 --> 00:07:29,517
Thank you, sir.
110
00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:32,420
Listen, you keep working him like
that, and I'll be back in a few days...
111
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:33,287
to check him out.
112
00:07:33,387 --> 00:07:34,722
I'll take him back to the barn and
cool him off.
113
00:07:34,855 --> 00:07:36,457
You better. You better.
114
00:07:44,532 --> 00:07:50,404
Hey, hey, beautiful!
I don't believe this.
115
00:07:51,572 --> 00:07:53,774
Hey, cool him out easy.
116
00:08:23,037 --> 00:08:23,971
Hello, Bo.
117
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:28,743
Surprised?
118
00:08:33,014 --> 00:08:34,515
What're you doin' in my car?
119
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:35,816
Waiting for you.
120
00:08:37,151 --> 00:08:39,086
Get yourself killed that way.
121
00:08:39,587 --> 00:08:40,988
Or the reverse.
122
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:45,626
Get out.
123
00:08:59,807 --> 00:09:00,808
Over there.
124
00:12:27,948 --> 00:12:33,254
Thank you. Sit down, please. Thank
you very much. Well, as usual...
125
00:12:33,454 --> 00:12:38,058
...I feel like an expectant father.
But contrary to the norm, each...
126
00:12:38,192 --> 00:12:41,195
...one seems to get more difficult
for me.
127
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:46,066
I'm just grateful I have so
many wonderful friends... you know...
128
00:12:46,267 --> 00:12:47,601
...I'd like to also take this...
129
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:49,670
Hey! Where're you going?
130
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:51,338
Over there.
131
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:52,973
No one's allowed in there.
132
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:55,376
What do you mean no one's allowed?
I see 30 people down there.
133
00:12:55,476 --> 00:12:59,213
No one's allowed in there without
an invitation. You have an invitation?
134
00:12:59,346 --> 00:13:00,948
No, I don't have an invitation.
135
00:13:01,181 --> 00:13:02,650
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
136
00:13:02,783 --> 00:13:06,353
You have no invitation.
So... Out.
137
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,757
Actually, I'm a Lieutenant in
the police. My name is Columbo.
138
00:13:09,857 --> 00:13:12,092
Oh, Lieutenant? Oh.
139
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:15,195
You know, I came here. I'm just
coming here to look for somebody.
140
00:13:15,396 --> 00:13:16,263
Who you looking for, Lieutenant?
141
00:13:16,397 --> 00:13:17,831
A Mrs. Williamson?
142
00:13:18,098 --> 00:13:21,135
Well, I'll tell you, Lieutenant,
lotta people here.
143
00:13:21,335 --> 00:13:24,805
Why don't you wander around.
Maybe you'll bump into her.
144
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:26,507
I see. Thank you very much.
145
00:13:26,607 --> 00:13:27,141
OK.
146
00:13:27,241 --> 00:13:27,975
Bye.
147
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:29,810
...let me give you some details
about this building?
148
00:13:31,378 --> 00:13:34,114
You've heared this before, but you
understand that it's a fantastic...
149
00:13:34,248 --> 00:13:35,382
...building, really.
150
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:40,254
Yes, you see, it's to be 32 stories
high. It's revolutionary...
151
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:44,258
...in concept really... because it
won't be offices so much as...
152
00:13:44,425 --> 00:13:49,463
...living modules, almost cocoons
where a man can coordinate his...
153
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:52,599
...activities outside the context
of mere business.
154
00:13:52,733 --> 00:13:59,239
In fact, if he chooses, it can become virtually
a second home, a remarkable place...
155
00:13:59,373 --> 00:14:03,610
...of mobility and freedom. I don't
know how the wives will feel about that.
156
00:14:04,311 --> 00:14:08,916
In any case, these units will be
for sale for all those who qualify.
157
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:12,252
You were asking me about the price earlier,
we've been...
158
00:14:12,586 --> 00:14:13,587
...we haven't quite figured it out.
159
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:17,024
We've been dickering around somewhere
between 30 and...
160
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:19,393
Excuse me. Excuse me.
161
00:14:19,562 --> 00:14:20,529
Something you want?
162
00:14:22,864 --> 00:14:25,533
Well, I didn't mean to interrupt like this
and barge in, but I'm...
163
00:14:25,633 --> 00:14:26,901
...looking for a Mrs. Williamson...
164
00:14:27,035 --> 00:14:28,403
I'm Mrs. Williamson.
165
00:14:29,270 --> 00:14:30,638
Mrs. Bo Williamson?
166
00:14:30,772 --> 00:14:31,473
That's right.
167
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,108
And who might you be?
168
00:14:34,242 --> 00:14:35,443
Lieutenant Columbo.
169
00:14:35,543 --> 00:14:36,945
You called the police.
170
00:14:37,078 --> 00:14:38,079
I did?
171
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,948
Well, that's what they told me.
172
00:14:40,181 --> 00:14:43,418
Lieutenant, I may not be the brightest
lady in the world, but I do know...
173
00:14:43,551 --> 00:14:45,353
...whether I made a phone call
or not.
174
00:14:45,954 --> 00:14:47,622
Obviously some kind of mix-up.
175
00:14:49,391 --> 00:14:52,160
Well, I'd like to get this thing
straightened out. Can anybody...
176
00:14:52,293 --> 00:14:53,895
...tell me where Mr. Williamson is?
177
00:14:54,028 --> 00:14:55,196
I don't know.
178
00:14:55,296 --> 00:14:56,164
You mean he's missing?
179
00:14:56,297 --> 00:14:59,134
To be absent is not necessarily
to be missing, Lieutenant.
180
00:14:59,234 --> 00:15:01,302
I assume you understand the distinction.
181
00:15:01,703 --> 00:15:04,239
It's just that he's out of town on
business.
182
00:15:04,539 --> 00:15:07,008
And really, Lieutenant, I didn't
call the police.
183
00:15:08,510 --> 00:15:13,748
This is very very weird, because they
told me they got a call from...
184
00:15:13,882 --> 00:15:17,018
...a Mrs. Williamson and she said that
her husband was missing...
185
00:15:17,152 --> 00:15:18,253
...and he might even be dead.
186
00:15:18,386 --> 00:15:20,221
Oh... that's ridiculous.
187
00:15:20,955 --> 00:15:23,057
Wait a minute... Goldie.
188
00:15:23,525 --> 00:15:24,292
Who's Goldie?
189
00:15:24,459 --> 00:15:26,928
My husband's first wife.
She must've called you.
190
00:15:27,162 --> 00:15:28,430
Why would she do that?
191
00:15:29,164 --> 00:15:31,666
I guess because Bo's been out of
the country for eight weeks.
192
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,437
And he came back on business for
a day and I suppose left again.
193
00:15:35,637 --> 00:15:38,873
She gets a little tense
when the alimony checks are late.
194
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,910
That's hardly a reason to call the
police.
195
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:45,213
Well, Goldie's a little possessive.
Is that the word?
196
00:15:45,814 --> 00:15:47,315
They've been divorced a long
time.
197
00:15:47,415 --> 00:15:49,884
But she still can't give up the ghost.
198
00:15:50,018 --> 00:15:52,387
Mr. Williamson is a globetrotter,
sometimes he takes...
199
00:15:52,487 --> 00:15:54,689
...off at a moment's notice, doesn't
even tell Jennifer.
200
00:15:55,657 --> 00:15:56,758
No kidding? Just...
201
00:15:57,091 --> 00:16:00,261
I'm sure he'll show up in a
few weeks. If you'll excuse us...
202
00:16:00,395 --> 00:16:01,629
...if you've covered everything.
203
00:16:11,005 --> 00:16:13,441
Say, did you build this?
204
00:16:13,608 --> 00:16:15,109
No, no. One of my staff did that.
205
00:16:15,243 --> 00:16:16,110
Oh.
206
00:16:16,211 --> 00:16:17,312
Come on. Do you want some?
207
00:16:17,412 --> 00:16:18,513
Yes.
208
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,948
Excuse me, please.
209
00:16:22,016 --> 00:16:23,618
Excuse me. Excuse me.
210
00:16:23,718 --> 00:16:25,019
A little on the slow side here.
211
00:16:25,153 --> 00:16:27,021
Ah, forgive me a moment.
I just wanted to stop by and...
212
00:16:27,155 --> 00:16:31,626
...tell you that's a terrific building.
I mean it. I know a lot of people like...
213
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:33,461
...the old-fashioned stuff, but
I figure you got to keep...
214
00:16:33,595 --> 00:16:34,696
...an open mind.
215
00:16:34,929 --> 00:16:36,164
You have a new fan.
216
00:16:36,397 --> 00:16:37,165
Yes.
217
00:16:37,365 --> 00:16:39,834
Oh, absolutely. It's just marvelous.
218
00:16:41,102 --> 00:16:43,004
Tell me how did you two meet?
219
00:16:43,404 --> 00:16:46,708
Mr. Markham designed a summer
house for us. It's incredible.
220
00:16:46,841 --> 00:16:48,343
Really, it's a work of genius.
221
00:16:48,576 --> 00:16:50,645
Jennifer tends to get carried away,
Lieutenant.
222
00:16:50,778 --> 00:16:53,982
But you are a genius. And when
everyone sees your plans for...
223
00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:56,684
...Williamson City you'll be buried
in commissions.
224
00:16:57,151 --> 00:16:58,853
What is Williamson City?
225
00:16:58,987 --> 00:17:01,756
Now I'm a superstitious guy, let's
not talk about our project till...
226
00:17:01,890 --> 00:17:02,657
...it's hatched.
227
00:17:02,757 --> 00:17:05,193
You'll have to excuse us, Lieutenant.
One of the obligations of...
228
00:17:05,326 --> 00:17:06,528
...the trade... have to mingle.
229
00:17:06,661 --> 00:17:08,830
Oh, sure. Listen, sorry to bother you.
230
00:17:08,963 --> 00:17:09,731
No bother at all.
231
00:17:09,864 --> 00:17:11,966
Oh, don't worry about my husband,
Lieutenant.
232
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:14,202
Believe me, he's very much alive.
233
00:17:14,335 --> 00:17:18,673
He's dead, I tell you! I can feel it
in my spine. A little lower, honey.
234
00:17:18,773 --> 00:17:19,774
Ouch, that's it.
235
00:17:20,808 --> 00:17:22,477
I know more about Bo Williamson
than that little lady'll...
236
00:17:22,577 --> 00:17:23,811
...learn in a lifetime.
237
00:17:23,912 --> 00:17:24,312
Yeah, but...
238
00:17:24,412 --> 00:17:27,916
Lover, take my word for it. He has
shuffled off this veil of tears.
239
00:17:28,116 --> 00:17:28,983
How do you know that?
240
00:17:29,117 --> 00:17:32,253
Because he always calls me before he
leaves town. This time he didn't.
241
00:17:32,420 --> 00:17:34,556
Yeah, but if he didn't call you,
how'd you know he left town?
242
00:17:34,756 --> 00:17:36,691
I spoke with the child bride.
243
00:17:37,158 --> 00:17:38,126
You mean Mrs. Williamson?
244
00:17:38,259 --> 00:17:43,932
The current Mrs. Williamson. I call
her the next-ex. Don't get me...
245
00:17:44,132 --> 00:17:47,635
...wrong, lover. She's half my age
and twice as pretty but I like her.
246
00:17:50,805 --> 00:17:53,908
Bo reached the point where he thought he
needed a younger woman, and she's...
247
00:17:54,042 --> 00:17:55,076
...better than most.
248
00:17:55,243 --> 00:17:57,845
I gotta say this for you, you
a pretty healthy attitude.
249
00:17:57,979 --> 00:18:00,315
I can afford it. He pays, you know.
250
00:18:01,082 --> 00:18:04,319
I tell you, lover, if gold lame was
legal tender, I'd rule the world.
251
00:18:04,485 --> 00:18:06,588
That's enough for today, Miko. I'll see
you tomorrow.
252
00:18:07,021 --> 00:18:08,890
Say goodbye to the Lieutenant.
253
00:18:09,023 --> 00:18:14,629
Dozo yoroshiku. Columbo-san. Anata
wa suteki desu. Anone, watakushi wa...
254
00:18:14,796 --> 00:18:20,802
...anata suki desu.
Anone, dewa mata. Sayonara.
255
00:18:20,969 --> 00:18:22,670
Sayonara. See.
256
00:18:26,341 --> 00:18:27,375
She's a lovely girl.
257
00:18:27,475 --> 00:18:28,676
She is a lovely girl.
258
00:18:28,810 --> 00:18:31,379
Very polite. I don't know what she's
said...
259
00:18:31,479 --> 00:18:33,014
but it sounded like she liked me.
260
00:18:34,382 --> 00:18:38,553
Lieutenant, would you like to turn
around? I don't want to corrupt you.
261
00:18:43,791 --> 00:18:46,294
OK. You can turn around now.
262
00:18:46,461 --> 00:18:50,365
Oh, fine. The point is this,
Mrs. Williamson.
263
00:18:50,498 --> 00:18:54,102
My friends call me Goldie! And
since I'm standing here practically...
264
00:18:54,235 --> 00:18:56,437
...naked with you, you'd better be my
friend.
265
00:18:57,171 --> 00:18:58,673
Would you mind repeating that last
sentence?
266
00:18:58,773 --> 00:19:00,842
I don't think I quite understood.
267
00:19:01,643 --> 00:19:06,314
I said, since I'm standing here practically
naked with you, you better be my friend.
268
00:19:06,414 --> 00:19:08,316
And my friends call me Goldie.
269
00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:13,187
Oh, I see. Well, Goldie.
270
00:19:13,855 --> 00:19:16,991
Let me ask you this.
Don't you think it's possible that...
271
00:19:17,158 --> 00:19:19,260
...your ex-husband could've
slipped up and left town...
272
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,228
...without calling you?
273
00:19:20,328 --> 00:19:22,430
No way. He never forgets.
274
00:19:23,097 --> 00:19:24,832
Does Mrs. Williamson know this?
275
00:19:24,966 --> 00:19:27,001
Why ruin a lovely relationship?
276
00:19:27,468 --> 00:19:30,038
You mean to tell me that your
ex-husband's closer to you...
277
00:19:30,204 --> 00:19:31,773
than he is to his current wife?
278
00:19:33,241 --> 00:19:35,943
Lieutenant, we were married for
22 years.
279
00:19:36,044 --> 00:19:37,311
We never had any children.
280
00:19:37,412 --> 00:19:40,481
So we spent a lotta time
getting to know one another.
281
00:19:41,049 --> 00:19:45,053
Jennifer gives him youth. For
the rest, he comes to me.
282
00:19:45,186 --> 00:19:47,655
Now, even if he leaves town
for just a few days,
283
00:19:47,755 --> 00:19:50,191
he always lets me know. Every time.
284
00:19:54,796 --> 00:19:55,697
Yeah...
285
00:19:56,998 --> 00:19:58,166
It's for you.
286
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,202
Oh, thank you very much.
287
00:20:03,771 --> 00:20:10,311
Hello, yes, oh, all right.
I'll be right down.
288
00:20:10,812 --> 00:20:11,913
Thank you.
289
00:20:13,581 --> 00:20:15,116
They found Bo Williamson's car.
290
00:20:15,416 --> 00:20:16,918
You see? What did I tell you?
291
00:20:17,351 --> 00:20:18,586
At the airport.
292
00:20:20,154 --> 00:20:23,758
I'm gonna go down and check it out, but
it really looks like he left town.
293
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,595
Honey, I've got gold-plated
instincts and I trust 'em.
294
00:22:08,296 --> 00:22:09,997
I am worried sick.
295
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:14,635
But his clothes are gone, his passport,
his suitcase. And his car is...
296
00:22:14,735 --> 00:22:17,705
...at the airport. What more proof
do you need?
297
00:22:18,172 --> 00:22:22,043
Excuse me. Did I hear you say that
he took his passport?
298
00:22:22,243 --> 00:22:24,679
Well, it isn't here. And he spends
a lot of time in Europe.
299
00:22:25,046 --> 00:22:29,717
Oh, yes. That's right. Globetrotter.
That's what Mr. Markham called him.
300
00:22:30,785 --> 00:22:33,154
I noticed that he likes
country and western music.
301
00:22:33,287 --> 00:22:34,755
Does a bear like honey?
302
00:22:35,323 --> 00:22:38,192
I've tried to broaden his tastes
a little, but it's impossible.
303
00:22:38,326 --> 00:22:40,361
That noise is all he listens to.
304
00:22:41,128 --> 00:22:44,532
Tell me something... do you ever drive
his car?
305
00:22:44,966 --> 00:22:46,634
Me? No, I have my own.
306
00:22:46,767 --> 00:22:51,572
What's all this guff about cars and
music and passports? I feel like...
307
00:22:51,706 --> 00:22:54,542
...the original voice in the
wilderness. Don't you two understand?
308
00:22:54,709 --> 00:22:56,644
Bo's gone and nobody gives
a hoot!
309
00:22:57,178 --> 00:22:58,412
Who's Dr.Moss?
310
00:22:59,113 --> 00:23:00,114
What?
311
00:23:00,281 --> 00:23:04,552
I see in your husband's appointment
book, "Dr.Moss, 10:45".
312
00:23:04,719 --> 00:23:06,120
...the 11th of the month.
That's tomorrow.
313
00:23:06,254 --> 00:23:08,489
You see? He'd never leave town
if he had an appointment...
314
00:23:08,656 --> 00:23:09,724
...with his heart specialist.
315
00:23:09,857 --> 00:23:11,058
Oh? He had a bad ticker, did he?
316
00:23:11,259 --> 00:23:15,196
He has a pacemaker and his heart
works perfectly. The fact...
317
00:23:15,329 --> 00:23:18,599
...that he's missing the appointment
proves it's unimportant.
318
00:23:18,866 --> 00:23:20,601
Hey, look at this... Blueprints.
319
00:23:21,035 --> 00:23:22,570
What's he doing? Building a bigger
house?
320
00:23:23,137 --> 00:23:25,606
Those are the preliminary plans
for Williamson City.
321
00:23:25,740 --> 00:23:27,141
Williamson City?
322
00:23:27,942 --> 00:23:31,913
Williamson City? I remember that.
You mentioned that down at the...
323
00:23:32,046 --> 00:23:34,582
...construction site. What is that
exactly?
324
00:23:34,749 --> 00:23:38,753
It's an entire community. Churches,
schools, everything planned...
325
00:23:38,953 --> 00:23:40,888
...from fireplugs to skyscrapers.
326
00:23:41,756 --> 00:23:43,324
Mr. Markham. Did he design that?
327
00:23:43,457 --> 00:23:44,258
That's right.
328
00:23:44,358 --> 00:23:47,895
I can't imagine Bo's bringing hard
cash for something like that.
329
00:23:48,062 --> 00:23:50,765
Well, there may be some things
about him you don't know.
330
00:23:51,899 --> 00:23:55,303
It's possible he's a bit more
complicated than you think, Goldie.
331
00:23:57,104 --> 00:24:00,508
The day he came back, he saw those
plans and Elliot said he loved them.
332
00:24:01,175 --> 00:24:03,945
Oh, then Mr. Markham saw your husband
before he left town?
333
00:24:04,979 --> 00:24:08,816
They had a meeting the day he came
back, and Elliot told me all about it.
334
00:24:36,844 --> 00:24:37,845
Are you a policeman?
335
00:24:37,945 --> 00:24:40,748
Yes, ma'am. My name is Lieutenant
Columbo.
336
00:24:40,915 --> 00:24:42,450
Excuse me for just one moment.
337
00:24:42,616 --> 00:24:46,020
I was out at the construction site,
I don't know if you remember me or not.
338
00:24:46,187 --> 00:24:47,655
Well... is something wrong?
339
00:24:47,788 --> 00:24:51,592
Oh, no. Nothing's wrong. I wanted
to speak to Mr. Markham.
340
00:24:51,726 --> 00:24:52,293
Is he in there?
341
00:24:52,426 --> 00:24:54,395
I'm sorry, Lieutenant, he
isn't in.
342
00:24:54,862 --> 00:24:57,765
Well, maybe I could speak to him
at home.
343
00:24:57,832 --> 00:25:01,569
He only goes there to sleep. If you want
him, you'll find him at the university...
344
00:25:01,702 --> 00:25:03,170
...giving a lecture to his students.
345
00:25:03,270 --> 00:25:04,238
Oh, really?
346
00:25:04,338 --> 00:25:05,606
He teaches too, huh?
347
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:08,175
Mr. Markham feels he has a
responsibility to share...
348
00:25:08,309 --> 00:25:09,043
...his knowledge.
349
00:25:09,143 --> 00:25:10,344
I'll tell you something.
350
00:25:10,444 --> 00:25:12,780
It's a wonder the man finds all the
time, right?
351
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:18,019
Pure energy, Lieutenant. He's a
dynamo. A man like that throws off...
352
00:25:18,152 --> 00:25:21,756
...sparks and never slows down.
Most of us can't keep up with him.
353
00:25:22,556 --> 00:25:26,260
But we love it, naturally.
I mean...
354
00:25:26,394 --> 00:25:29,230
everyone likes to feel he's participating
in something important.
355
00:25:29,630 --> 00:25:32,933
He's an unusual man. Tonight's
lecture for instance,
356
00:25:33,167 --> 00:25:36,704
on Egyptian architecture. Pyramids,
tombs. Things like that.
357
00:25:37,171 --> 00:25:42,309
He gave up his dinner hour to verify a
date. Not the year, mind you, the date.
358
00:25:43,778 --> 00:25:50,251
Lieutenant? Lieutenant? Lieutenant.
359
00:25:52,153 --> 00:25:53,387
Is this where he works?
360
00:25:53,521 --> 00:25:54,688
Yes, it is.
361
00:25:54,922 --> 00:25:56,057
Just wonderful.
362
00:25:57,792 --> 00:25:59,060
Marvelous office.
363
00:25:59,193 --> 00:26:00,394
Yes, it is.
364
00:26:01,062 --> 00:26:01,829
Spacious.
365
00:26:01,929 --> 00:26:03,130
Yes, it is.
366
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:05,499
Conference room?
367
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:06,934
Yes, it is.
368
00:26:07,868 --> 00:26:08,736
Very handy, isn't it?
369
00:26:08,836 --> 00:26:10,271
Yes, it is.
370
00:26:10,604 --> 00:26:13,874
Wonderful. I mean everything, the dรฉcor,
the paneling
371
00:26:14,075 --> 00:26:17,378
I'm glad you like it, Lieutenant.
But really Mr. Markham doesn't...
372
00:26:17,478 --> 00:26:18,479
...permit anyone in his office.
373
00:26:18,579 --> 00:26:19,947
I see he likes music.
374
00:26:20,314 --> 00:26:21,082
Yes.
375
00:26:21,182 --> 00:26:22,583
He has it right here in the office, huh?
376
00:26:22,716 --> 00:26:24,285
Yes, he does. He plays it while he's
designing.
377
00:26:24,752 --> 00:26:27,922
Classical stuff?
My favorite. Just love it.
378
00:26:48,742 --> 00:26:51,645
Really, Lieutenant, it's getting late.
379
00:26:51,779 --> 00:26:53,147
And I have to meet someone for
dinner.
380
00:26:53,247 --> 00:26:57,351
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
hold you up like that. Forgive me.
381
00:26:57,518 --> 00:27:00,454
It's just when I start hearing this stuff,
I could just listen for hours.
382
00:27:00,588 --> 00:27:01,288
I'm sorry.
383
00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:03,624
Yes. Well, if there's nothing else...
384
00:27:03,958 --> 00:27:07,628
No, I don't think there's anything else.
Thank you very much. Good night.
385
00:27:07,695 --> 00:27:08,629
Good night.
386
00:27:10,931 --> 00:27:12,032
What happened here?
387
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:13,968
An accident.
388
00:27:16,971 --> 00:27:22,109
Isn't that something...
Williamson City?
389
00:27:22,243 --> 00:27:24,111
If you ask me, he doesn't deserve it.
390
00:27:24,478 --> 00:27:25,379
Who is that?
391
00:27:25,946 --> 00:27:29,483
Bo Williamson. I know I shouldn't
be talking about this...
392
00:27:29,884 --> 00:27:33,053
...but it's a shame Mr. Markham
has to work for a man like that.
393
00:27:33,554 --> 00:27:35,422
You mean Mr. Williamson did this?
394
00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:39,894
Yes, he just barged right in here the other
day and smashed it all to smithereens.
395
00:27:41,395 --> 00:27:42,897
Guess he didn't like it, huh?
396
00:27:43,197 --> 00:27:45,099
People like that don't know what
they like.
397
00:27:45,232 --> 00:27:47,468
All they care about is what it costs.
398
00:27:47,902 --> 00:27:49,136
Too expensive, huh?
399
00:27:49,603 --> 00:27:54,175
Mr. Markham has a saying, you can't
put a price tag on genius.
400
00:27:58,479 --> 00:28:00,114
These were built over the course...
401
00:28:00,214 --> 00:28:02,950
of a generation by an endless supply
of slave labor.
402
00:28:03,417 --> 00:28:06,253
Oddly enough, the pharaohs of the
time, much like ourselves,
403
00:28:06,420 --> 00:28:08,255
were greatly concerned
with the crime rate.
404
00:28:11,825 --> 00:28:15,496
The tombs were particularly vulnerable
because the Egyptians buried vast caches...
405
00:28:15,629 --> 00:28:17,464
...of treasure along with their dead
royalty.
406
00:28:17,598 --> 00:28:22,102
So, aside from being visually impressive,
with their bulk and simplicity,
407
00:28:22,603 --> 00:28:25,839
the tombs were also a marvel of
engineering skills,
408
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:28,442
built to withstand the onslaught
of thieves.
409
00:28:28,809 --> 00:28:32,513
By the way, it's said that some of
the engineers who built...
410
00:28:32,613 --> 00:28:35,249
...the pyramids were sealed up in
their own creations to protect...
411
00:28:35,416 --> 00:28:36,550
...the integrity of the tomb.
412
00:28:37,351 --> 00:28:41,889
Fortunately, today's architects are
spared that particular indignity.
413
00:28:42,823 --> 00:28:43,824
Lights, please.
414
00:28:45,192 --> 00:28:48,495
Next week we'll move rapidly
into the Baroque period,
415
00:28:48,629 --> 00:28:50,831
and even more rapidly
into our first exam.
416
00:28:50,931 --> 00:28:55,402
Those of you with failing grades
will be permanently entombed...
417
00:28:56,737 --> 00:29:00,007
at least as far as this class is
concerned. Thank you.
418
00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:28,402
Didn't know you had an interest
in scholarly pursuits, Lieutenant.
419
00:29:29,336 --> 00:29:33,774
Well, actually, I just came by to ask you
a few questions. Say, that stuff about...
420
00:29:33,907 --> 00:29:35,709
...burying those Egyptians.
Is that true?
421
00:29:36,910 --> 00:29:38,279
According to some experts.
422
00:29:38,545 --> 00:29:41,782
Gee... I find that interesting. I
mean particularly for a fella in...
423
00:29:41,915 --> 00:29:43,183
...my line of work.
424
00:29:43,317 --> 00:29:43,851
Why?
425
00:29:44,451 --> 00:29:47,755
Well, you know, the idea of burying a
body in a place where you can't find it.
426
00:29:48,155 --> 00:29:51,859
If I ever murdered anybody,
that's what I would do.
427
00:29:52,693 --> 00:29:56,430
Not many people have access to
the pyramids, Lieutenant.
428
00:29:56,930 --> 00:29:58,999
Oh, you wouldn't put 'em in the pyramids
today.
429
00:29:59,166 --> 00:30:04,171
No, today, you'd have to find another
place like... gee, I don't know.
430
00:30:05,606 --> 00:30:06,540
You'd have to...
431
00:30:06,674 --> 00:30:09,276
Like the foundation of a building?
432
00:30:10,411 --> 00:30:13,447
You know, now that you mention it,
that would be a terrific place.
433
00:30:13,881 --> 00:30:18,485
I mean, you put a body under a building,
you would find it for a hundred years.
434
00:30:18,886 --> 00:30:22,923
I'll keep that in mind, Lieutenant,
in case I kill somebody. Now...
435
00:30:23,057 --> 00:30:25,726
...if you'll get to your questions...
I haven't had any dinner.
436
00:30:26,193 --> 00:30:29,863
Gee... you know, neither have I.
I can offer you some raisins.
437
00:30:30,698 --> 00:30:31,899
No... no, thank you.
438
00:30:32,466 --> 00:30:34,201
I'll tell you why I came by...
439
00:30:34,335 --> 00:30:35,736
Would you get that board for me?
440
00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:37,171
Oh, certainly.
441
00:30:40,307 --> 00:30:43,977
I came by because I'm still looking into
the disappearance of this...
442
00:30:44,078 --> 00:30:45,412
Bo Williamson fella.
443
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:48,282
Disappearance? So Goldie's got you
convinced now.
444
00:30:48,415 --> 00:30:49,950
No, not necessarily.
445
00:30:50,050 --> 00:30:53,287
By the way, I stopped by your office
because I wanted to talk to you.
446
00:30:53,687 --> 00:30:56,156
I couldn't help noticing
that smashed-up model of...
447
00:30:56,256 --> 00:30:57,524
...Williamson City.
448
00:30:57,624 --> 00:30:58,592
What about it?
449
00:30:59,259 --> 00:31:00,928
Nothing. I was just wondering
how it got broken.
450
00:31:01,562 --> 00:31:03,030
Why? Why do I have the feeling...
451
00:31:03,163 --> 00:31:05,566
...you already know the answer to
that question?
452
00:31:06,433 --> 00:31:09,470
Well, your secretary did say something
about Mr. Williamson coming in there...
453
00:31:09,570 --> 00:31:11,772
...and she said he was kinda mad
and he kinda threw things around.
454
00:31:11,905 --> 00:31:14,408
There's a perfectly simple
explanation, Lieutenant.
455
00:31:14,508 --> 00:31:16,710
Bo was angry. And for good reason.
456
00:31:16,810 --> 00:31:18,846
We went ahead on the project without
his permission.
457
00:31:18,979 --> 00:31:20,647
It was very undiplomatic of us.
458
00:31:21,181 --> 00:31:26,420
I see. Us... Oh, you mean you
and his wife?
459
00:31:27,588 --> 00:31:30,624
Yes. Well, Jennifer is an admirer of
my work.
460
00:31:31,158 --> 00:31:33,427
Yeah, she told me that.
461
00:31:38,932 --> 00:31:42,569
In any event, Bo came back from
his trip and he saw the plans.
462
00:31:42,703 --> 00:31:46,039
It took him by surprise. Bo's a
volatile Texan,
463
00:31:46,173 --> 00:31:48,776
and when he gets angry, it shows.
464
00:31:49,176 --> 00:31:53,046
Fortunately, when I explained the
project to him he was delighted.
465
00:31:53,213 --> 00:31:56,316
I see. Happy ending?
466
00:31:58,152 --> 00:32:00,954
But won't his disappearance interfere
with...
467
00:32:01,188 --> 00:32:02,623
...your plans to move ahead?
468
00:32:03,123 --> 00:32:06,126
Are we really back to that?
Lieutenant, all the evidence...
469
00:32:06,293 --> 00:32:08,228
...indicates that he simply left
the country.
470
00:32:08,429 --> 00:32:10,063
Well, we did find his car at the
airport.
471
00:32:10,197 --> 00:32:11,765
There you are. That should prove it.
472
00:32:11,865 --> 00:32:16,703
It should. But we checked out every
flight list,
473
00:32:16,837 --> 00:32:18,939
and there wasn't one Williamson
on it.
474
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,445
Lieutenant, Bo is a... he's a
high-powered tycoon. He's got...
475
00:32:24,578 --> 00:32:27,714
...exotic business interests all
over the world. Now isn't it just...
476
00:32:27,848 --> 00:32:31,618
...possible for reasons not known to
us that he might occasionally...
477
00:32:31,752 --> 00:32:33,187
...fly under a different name?
478
00:32:33,754 --> 00:32:36,256
Yes, that is possible.
479
00:32:36,757 --> 00:32:38,358
Then I wouldn't worry about it.
480
00:32:38,826 --> 00:32:41,094
Now, if you'll excuse me, a very
hungry architect would like to...
481
00:32:41,228 --> 00:32:42,696
...get himself some dinner.
482
00:32:43,497 --> 00:32:47,901
You know, what's a funny thing about
that car. Car's got a tape...
483
00:32:48,068 --> 00:32:51,238
...machine in it and the glove
compartment is full of cassettes.
484
00:32:52,005 --> 00:32:54,842
Every one of them is country
and western music. That's all.
485
00:32:55,142 --> 00:32:57,878
And his wife tells me this man doesn't
listen to anything else.
486
00:32:58,612 --> 00:33:00,047
Nothing unusual about that.
487
00:33:00,747 --> 00:33:05,419
No. Except the radio dial was set
at 52, classical station.
488
00:33:05,719 --> 00:33:07,955
Turned it on, classical music.
489
00:33:09,490 --> 00:33:10,457
I see.
490
00:33:12,926 --> 00:33:14,428
You wanna half a candy bar?
491
00:33:14,528 --> 00:33:15,362
No.
492
00:33:16,497 --> 00:33:20,767
Anyway, it seems that whoever
was driving that car must've...
493
00:33:20,968 --> 00:33:25,372
...been listening to classical music.
It's confusing.
494
00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:29,142
I'm sure you'll find an answer,
Lieutenant.
495
00:33:32,045 --> 00:33:36,116
I'm certainly gonna try. Anyway,
thanks for your time.
496
00:33:38,352 --> 00:33:42,356
Oh, as for your designs...
497
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:45,526
Mr. Williamson did give you his
approval, didn't he?
498
00:33:45,893 --> 00:33:47,794
I already told you, Lieutenant.
499
00:33:47,995 --> 00:33:50,964
As soon as he got over his anger
he gave me his full support.
500
00:33:51,098 --> 00:33:53,534
Right. Thanks very much.
501
00:33:56,503 --> 00:33:58,405
You know, that's some coincidence.
502
00:33:58,572 --> 00:33:59,339
What is?
503
00:33:59,506 --> 00:34:03,844
That music thing. You're a great
classical music fan yourself, aren't you?
504
00:34:04,478 --> 00:34:06,280
I saw your record collection down
in the office.
505
00:34:07,147 --> 00:34:09,616
Guilty, Lieutenant. I like classical
music.
506
00:34:09,783 --> 00:34:12,085
Along with a few hundred thousand
other people in this city.
507
00:34:12,386 --> 00:34:16,089
Me too. I like it myself.
Enjoy your meal.
508
00:34:27,601 --> 00:34:30,437
Yeah, yeah, I know him. He's that
Texas guy. What's his name...
509
00:34:30,604 --> 00:34:34,308
His name is Williamson. He's a very
close friend of Mr. Markham's.
510
00:34:34,508 --> 00:34:35,642
Friend?
511
00:34:36,343 --> 00:34:37,444
Well, weren't they friends?
512
00:34:37,578 --> 00:34:40,147
Not the last time I seen that guy. The
last time I saw that guy...
513
00:34:40,314 --> 00:34:42,849
he looked like he was ready to wrap
a two-by-four around Mr. Markham's neck.
514
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:45,218
No kidding? When was that?
515
00:34:45,385 --> 00:34:48,455
Hey, look, Lieutenant, I got
a building to put up, all right?
516
00:34:48,589 --> 00:34:49,556
I'll see you around.
517
00:34:49,656 --> 00:34:51,992
Yeah, OK. I don't want to
interfere with your work.
518
00:34:52,225 --> 00:34:53,727
But look, there's one other thing.
519
00:34:53,894 --> 00:34:57,931
Talk to Mr. Markham. I'm just in charge
of the nuts and bolts around here.
520
00:34:58,131 --> 00:35:00,300
Then you know about those columns.
521
00:35:00,968 --> 00:35:02,669
Not columns. Piles.
522
00:35:02,836 --> 00:35:07,040
Oh, piles. So that's what they're
called. Well, tell me about them.
523
00:35:07,474 --> 00:35:11,311
Well, Lieutenant. First we sink a
hollow steel cylinder in the ground.
524
00:35:11,612 --> 00:35:15,015
Then we fill it with cement, and when
it hardens, we got a pile.
525
00:35:15,115 --> 00:35:16,216
That's what a pile is.
526
00:35:16,416 --> 00:35:17,017
That's right.
527
00:35:17,117 --> 00:35:19,820
That's interesting.
What do you do? You keep a record...
528
00:35:19,987 --> 00:35:21,054
...when you put 'em in the ground?
529
00:35:21,221 --> 00:35:23,757
Have to. And which ones first.
530
00:35:24,625 --> 00:35:28,528
You mean, you can tell me exactly what
day each one of these piles was sunk?
531
00:35:28,962 --> 00:35:31,632
The day, the time, how long it
took...
532
00:35:31,765 --> 00:35:33,200
...and how many men I had on the job.
533
00:35:33,367 --> 00:35:36,169
Lieutenant, still obsessed with
pyramids?
534
00:35:37,371 --> 00:35:39,806
Well, it must've been that lecture,
Mr. Markham.
535
00:35:40,340 --> 00:35:43,310
I never really noticed buildings before
but I'm interested in them now.
536
00:35:43,477 --> 00:35:45,812
Carl, you gotta check on those HVAC
estimates for me?
537
00:35:45,979 --> 00:35:48,949
Yes, sir. I'll see you around,
Lieutenant.
538
00:35:50,117 --> 00:35:51,718
Hey, tell me the truth, Lieutenant.
539
00:35:52,185 --> 00:35:54,721
Are you interested in buildings
or builders?
540
00:35:55,522 --> 00:35:56,390
What do you mean?
541
00:35:56,823 --> 00:36:00,260
Well, let's look at your itinerary.
You showed up at my office...
542
00:36:00,394 --> 00:36:03,230
...at my lecture, and now at
my construction site.
543
00:36:03,530 --> 00:36:06,133
Well, actually, I just happened to some
have spare time...
544
00:36:06,299 --> 00:36:08,502
Perhaps you should spend your time
a little more productively.
545
00:36:08,602 --> 00:36:10,937
You're supposed to be tracking down
Bo Williamson.
546
00:36:11,104 --> 00:36:13,507
Now, surely you don't think he's here,
do you?
547
00:36:14,107 --> 00:36:16,743
Well, no, I don't see how he could be.
548
00:36:19,046 --> 00:36:21,281
Well, if you'll forgive me I'll go back
to my work.
549
00:36:21,448 --> 00:36:22,315
Certainly.
550
00:36:25,986 --> 00:36:30,657
I assume I can look forward to
another visit in the near future?
551
00:36:30,824 --> 00:36:33,827
Well... if anything interesting turns
up, I'll surely get in touch with you.
552
00:36:34,695 --> 00:36:35,962
I'm sure you will.
553
00:36:43,370 --> 00:36:46,039
Say, do you have the time? I think
my watch is out of order.
554
00:36:47,974 --> 00:36:48,675
10:30.
555
00:36:49,076 --> 00:36:52,045
I don't wanna be late. I got an
appointment at the doctor's.
556
00:36:54,848 --> 00:36:58,952
Doctor, really... I never intended
to have an exam.
557
00:37:00,253 --> 00:37:01,288
Just a moment.
558
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,795
Blood pressure's a bit low.
559
00:37:09,396 --> 00:37:11,732
Well, that's normal for me.
Look, Doctor, really...
560
00:37:11,865 --> 00:37:15,402
I know, you came here to ask me
questions. But a checkup never hurts.
561
00:37:15,535 --> 00:37:17,170
Now, do you get enough exercise?
562
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:21,742
Well, I walk a bit. Doctor, listen.
I just had a police physical...
563
00:37:21,875 --> 00:37:23,443
Can't have too many, Lieutenant.
564
00:37:23,877 --> 00:37:25,378
The human machine is a delicate
instrument.
565
00:37:25,512 --> 00:37:27,514
There we go.
Now... you were saying?
566
00:37:27,647 --> 00:37:29,449
Yeah, this is what I want to know.
567
00:37:29,649 --> 00:37:31,551
Look, it's 11:20...
568
00:37:31,718 --> 00:37:34,187
Mr. Williamson hasn't shown up
for his appointment.
569
00:37:34,421 --> 00:37:36,490
Now, was this just another routine
checkup?
570
00:37:36,990 --> 00:37:40,594
When you have a heart condition that
needs a pacemaker, no visit is routine.
571
00:37:40,927 --> 00:37:42,329
You can roll down your sleeve.
572
00:37:43,263 --> 00:37:46,967
What I mean is this, was this particular
appointment any more or any less...
573
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,435
...important than the others?
574
00:37:48,568 --> 00:37:51,505
Let me put it this way. If Bo
Williamson doesn't get to me...
575
00:37:51,605 --> 00:37:53,406
...or any other specialist,
576
00:37:53,507 --> 00:37:55,609
...he's running a grave risk with
his health.
577
00:37:55,976 --> 00:37:57,043
Why is that?
578
00:38:03,383 --> 00:38:05,085
This is a pacemaker.
579
00:38:05,452 --> 00:38:06,553
You mean, it's that big?
580
00:38:06,686 --> 00:38:09,356
It runs on miniature energy cells.
581
00:38:09,723 --> 00:38:11,358
It's sort of like an electric watch?
582
00:38:11,491 --> 00:38:15,362
Exactly. It regulates a heart that
can't keep a steady beat of its own.
583
00:38:15,862 --> 00:38:19,065
Now, every year or so, these energy
cells have to be replaced...
584
00:38:19,199 --> 00:38:22,869
...or the pacemaker becomes erratic,
causing the heart to malfunction.
585
00:38:23,069 --> 00:38:24,437
In other words, you could die.
586
00:38:24,571 --> 00:38:25,806
Put simply, yes.
587
00:38:26,540 --> 00:38:27,874
Is this a big operation?
588
00:38:27,974 --> 00:38:30,343
No, but it is a surgical procedure.
589
00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:32,679
Could another doctor besides
yourself perform it?
590
00:38:32,879 --> 00:38:36,583
Naturally. But knowing Bo
Williamson, I seriously doubt...
591
00:38:36,750 --> 00:38:38,685
...if he'd put himself in the hands
of another stranger...
592
00:38:38,852 --> 00:38:40,053
...no matter how competent.
593
00:38:40,187 --> 00:38:43,523
Hmmm... I see, all right, Doc.
594
00:38:43,757 --> 00:38:46,726
Listen.I want to thank you very much
for the time...
595
00:38:46,893 --> 00:38:47,694
and for the checkup.
596
00:38:47,828 --> 00:38:49,796
It wasn't much of a checkup but
you're welcome.
597
00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:52,866
If you locate Mr. Williamson, tell
him to contact me immediately.
598
00:38:53,099 --> 00:38:54,734
I will. I'll do that.
599
00:38:54,901 --> 00:38:56,036
Are you looking for something?
600
00:38:56,236 --> 00:38:57,470
Do you have a lighter?
601
00:38:57,637 --> 00:38:59,339
You won't find one here,
Lieutenant.
602
00:38:59,472 --> 00:39:01,341
And let me give you some free
medical advice.
603
00:39:01,474 --> 00:39:03,243
Stop smoking those things.
604
00:39:03,743 --> 00:39:04,778
Well... I've been trying.
605
00:39:04,911 --> 00:39:08,415
Trying isn't good enough.
Remember... I deal in pacemakers.
606
00:39:37,811 --> 00:39:39,813
Well, lover, are you satisfied?
607
00:39:40,447 --> 00:39:42,949
Goldie! What are you doing here?
608
00:39:43,083 --> 00:39:46,620
Same thing you are. Checking up on
Bo. He didn't show up, did he?
609
00:39:46,887 --> 00:39:47,587
No.
610
00:39:48,922 --> 00:39:50,757
Columbo, the man is dead.
611
00:39:50,957 --> 00:39:52,726
He would never miss an appointment with
a doctor.
612
00:39:52,859 --> 00:39:55,061
He was always very nervous about
his health.
613
00:39:55,195 --> 00:39:59,165
That may be, but there's no proof,
there's nothing solid to go on yet.
614
00:39:59,332 --> 00:40:01,668
Columbo, what does it take to
convince you that I'm right.
615
00:40:01,801 --> 00:40:02,903
His body?
616
00:40:04,337 --> 00:40:06,473
Please, slow down.
You're running me ragged.
617
00:40:06,606 --> 00:40:08,108
That's the object of the game.
618
00:40:08,241 --> 00:40:09,876
Isn't there anything you do badly?
619
00:40:10,010 --> 00:40:11,244
Yes. Lose.
620
00:40:11,344 --> 00:40:13,079
I don't believe it.
Have you ever lost?
621
00:40:13,213 --> 00:40:14,915
Come on. You're doing beautifully.
622
00:40:15,348 --> 00:40:16,983
It's just that I don't get my arm back
in time.
623
00:40:17,083 --> 00:40:18,818
Ready or not, I'm serving.
624
00:40:22,422 --> 00:40:24,791
Oh, that's embarrassing!
625
00:40:24,958 --> 00:40:27,427
Listen, your problem is you're getting
your racket back a little late.
626
00:40:27,627 --> 00:40:28,161
Throw me a ball.
627
00:40:28,762 --> 00:40:30,096
Can't. We hit them all out.
628
00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:30,897
I'll get it.
629
00:40:30,997 --> 00:40:33,633
No, let me. I'm getting embarrassed
to face you.
630
00:40:36,036 --> 00:40:40,307
In Cannes they have trained dogs to
retrieve tennis balls.
631
00:40:40,907 --> 00:40:42,943
I'll tell Bo somebody's got
something on him.
632
00:40:43,977 --> 00:40:44,945
Elliot!
633
00:40:49,215 --> 00:40:50,216
What's the matter?
634
00:40:55,188 --> 00:40:57,057
Jennifer! What's the matter?
635
00:40:58,358 --> 00:40:59,893
It's Bo's hat.
636
00:41:46,139 --> 00:41:49,242
A battered, blood-stained hat by
itself means next to nothing.
637
00:41:50,110 --> 00:41:52,479
Well, it looks kinda strange though,
don't you think?
638
00:41:53,847 --> 00:41:56,816
We don't even know if he was
wearing a hat... if he was killed.
639
00:41:57,317 --> 00:42:00,320
We don't. But the question is where
did it come from?
640
00:42:04,257 --> 00:42:06,159
When will the police lab have
a report?
641
00:42:06,292 --> 00:42:08,261
Pretty soon. I told them to rush it.
642
00:42:08,495 --> 00:42:09,596
I got them.
643
00:42:10,697 --> 00:42:11,498
Good.
644
00:42:11,998 --> 00:42:14,334
What did you ask her to get?
His army dog tags?
645
00:42:14,734 --> 00:42:15,502
Yes.
646
00:42:23,777 --> 00:42:25,145
Do you want a drink, Lieutenant?
647
00:42:25,445 --> 00:42:28,114
No. Thanks anyhow.
648
00:42:29,816 --> 00:42:31,885
What I could really use is a cigar.
649
00:42:32,385 --> 00:42:33,286
Beg your pardon?
650
00:42:33,787 --> 00:42:36,956
Here they are, Lieutenant. I finally
found them in the attic.
651
00:42:37,123 --> 00:42:38,825
But why you want them...
I don't know.
652
00:42:38,992 --> 00:42:44,030
You see, army dog tags usually have a
blood type on them. Here it is. B positive.
653
00:42:44,697 --> 00:42:47,233
Sure glad he saved these.
Lotta guys usually do.
654
00:42:47,367 --> 00:42:49,269
I still think this is
an exercise in futility.
655
00:42:49,402 --> 00:42:51,037
We don't even know if it's his hat.
656
00:42:51,171 --> 00:42:54,941
It has to be. It wasn't new,
but he had a lot of them around.
657
00:42:55,075 --> 00:42:57,110
And the brim is fixed just the way he
always wore it.
658
00:42:57,243 --> 00:43:00,613
Besides, it was custom-made, so the
label will be easy enough to check out.
659
00:43:03,817 --> 00:43:05,985
Yes? Just a moment.
660
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:07,353
Lieutenant, it's for you.
661
00:43:08,988 --> 00:43:13,593
Thank you. Hello? Uh-huh... Uh-huh.
662
00:43:15,495 --> 00:43:17,263
That's what I figured. Thank you.
663
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,269
Blood type, B positive, it's the same as
your husband's. I'm sorry, ma'am.
664
00:43:23,403 --> 00:43:26,239
Then something did happen to him.
He is dead.
665
00:43:26,372 --> 00:43:29,742
Jennifer, you're jumping to
conclusions. Don't be hysterical.
666
00:43:30,176 --> 00:43:32,612
Lieutenant, tell her that blood on
a hat doesn't necessarily...
667
00:43:32,745 --> 00:43:33,746
...mean that Bo is dead.
668
00:43:33,847 --> 00:43:35,181
Well, that's true. It doesn't.
669
00:43:35,482 --> 00:43:37,550
But I'd say we have got a whole new
ball game.
670
00:43:52,966 --> 00:43:55,335
Sorry. Strict orders.
He doesn't want to be bothered.
671
00:43:56,302 --> 00:43:58,605
He's playing that music awfully
loud. Bad mood?
672
00:44:05,245 --> 00:44:08,214
He doesn't have bad moods.
Let's just say he's been happier.
673
00:44:23,296 --> 00:44:24,564
Miss Sherman?
674
00:44:29,469 --> 00:44:30,270
Miss Sherman?
675
00:44:30,370 --> 00:44:31,070
Yes, sir.
676
00:44:31,171 --> 00:44:32,505
Would you get me Mrs. Williamson, please.
677
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:33,439
Yes, sir.
678
00:44:54,027 --> 00:44:54,727
Yes?
679
00:44:54,861 --> 00:44:56,596
Mrs. Williamson is on the line.
680
00:44:57,463 --> 00:44:58,231
Hello?
681
00:44:58,398 --> 00:45:00,967
Hello, Jennifer. How are you?
Feeling any better?
682
00:45:01,067 --> 00:45:02,735
I'm not sure how I feel.
683
00:45:03,203 --> 00:45:05,271
I just keep thinking about that hat.
684
00:45:05,672 --> 00:45:07,607
Well, that's what I called you about.
685
00:45:07,707 --> 00:45:09,709
I may have an explanation for you.
686
00:45:09,976 --> 00:45:10,777
What?
687
00:45:11,945 --> 00:45:15,415
Well, I've got to check on a few things
before I tell you anything.
688
00:45:15,648 --> 00:45:18,751
Do you think you can arrange to have
Bo's will sent over?
689
00:45:18,851 --> 00:45:21,020
Bo's will? What on earth for?
690
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,155
Just trust me.
691
00:45:24,023 --> 00:45:25,158
Get out of there!
692
00:45:26,159 --> 00:45:27,961
That won't help, Goldie, I've already
seen them.
693
00:45:28,061 --> 00:45:30,763
You said you wanted to talk and
suddenly I find you...
694
00:45:30,863 --> 00:45:32,765
...poking around in my closet!
You've got no right!
695
00:45:32,932 --> 00:45:35,902
Two of Bo's old hats left over from the
old days.
696
00:45:36,035 --> 00:45:38,638
I got a hunch there were be
three on that shelf.
697
00:45:38,805 --> 00:45:40,673
I don't know what you're talking
about.
698
00:45:40,773 --> 00:45:44,811
Don't you? You planted that hat.
You manufactured the whole show...
699
00:45:44,944 --> 00:45:46,813
...just to back up your story that
Bo's was dead.
700
00:45:46,946 --> 00:45:48,448
You're reaching, mister.
701
00:45:49,782 --> 00:45:50,817
Now, what's that?
702
00:45:51,050 --> 00:45:52,819
It's Bo's will.
It's an interesting document.
703
00:45:53,019 --> 00:45:54,787
It shows why you're so eager to
prove he's dead.
704
00:45:54,887 --> 00:45:57,090
Mister, you're farther out than your
buildings.
705
00:45:57,223 --> 00:46:00,059
According to this, the minute Bo
Williamson is officially dead...
706
00:46:00,193 --> 00:46:02,562
...you inherit 25% of his estate.
707
00:46:02,829 --> 00:46:05,965
And that's a lot of gold lame... much
more than you'll ever see in alimony.
708
00:46:06,132 --> 00:46:08,935
Now you listen to me!
You're after me for some reason...
709
00:46:09,102 --> 00:46:10,770
...and all I'm trying to do is to point
out what's plain as...
710
00:46:10,903 --> 00:46:13,840
...the nose on your face.
That will doesn't prove a thing.
711
00:46:14,107 --> 00:46:17,744
Suppose we call Lieutenant Columbo?
We'll leave it up to him.
712
00:46:17,877 --> 00:46:20,013
Uh... Listen, now. I can save yourself
the trouble.
713
00:46:20,146 --> 00:46:22,482
Ah... The omnipresent constable.
714
00:46:22,615 --> 00:46:23,750
What are you doing here?
715
00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:27,520
Well, your maid let me in. She told me
you were up here with Mr. Markham.
716
00:46:27,687 --> 00:46:28,988
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
717
00:46:29,155 --> 00:46:30,156
How long were you standing there?
718
00:46:30,356 --> 00:46:33,793
Oh, not very long. I guess
I did hear the tail end of...
719
00:46:33,926 --> 00:46:34,727
...what you were saying.
720
00:46:34,827 --> 00:46:37,363
Well, then I guess you know what
kind of fertilizer this boy is...
721
00:46:37,530 --> 00:46:39,065
...spreading around.
722
00:46:39,198 --> 00:46:42,402
You know, actually, Mr. Markham is making
pretty good sense.
723
00:46:42,535 --> 00:46:48,374
He'd almost make a detective. That stuff
about the will, that's good police work.
724
00:46:48,474 --> 00:46:49,309
Thank you, Lieutenant.
725
00:46:49,409 --> 00:46:50,910
I thought you were my friend.
726
00:46:51,344 --> 00:46:54,681
Goldie, I am your friend.
And because I'm you're friend,
727
00:46:54,814 --> 00:46:56,616
I'd like to give you some advice.
728
00:46:57,917 --> 00:47:01,354
I think it would do you a lot of
good if you told the truth.
729
00:47:01,487 --> 00:47:03,122
I am telling the truth.
730
00:47:03,256 --> 00:47:06,859
Are you? You see, I just spoke to
that nice Japanese girl that...
731
00:47:06,993 --> 00:47:08,194
...gives you the massages.
732
00:47:08,294 --> 00:47:09,095
Miko?
733
00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:13,733
We had a little trouble understanding
each other. But we finally made it.
734
00:47:14,133 --> 00:47:16,736
She told me she noticed a bandaged
cut on...
735
00:47:16,836 --> 00:47:19,439
...the back of your leg this morning.
It wasn't there yesterday.
736
00:47:19,572 --> 00:47:22,608
Pure coincidence. I cut myself
shaving.
737
00:47:23,142 --> 00:47:25,645
I also went down to the Bureau of
Records and dug up...
738
00:47:25,745 --> 00:47:29,515
...your marriage license. It turns
out you and Mr. Williamson...
739
00:47:29,649 --> 00:47:32,485
...have the same blood type...
B positive.
740
00:47:32,919 --> 00:47:35,321
Very good, Lieutenant. Obviously she
took one of...
741
00:47:35,421 --> 00:47:38,191
...her husband's old hats, added some
blood from a self-inflicted wound...
742
00:47:38,291 --> 00:47:39,792
...and left it near the tennis court.
743
00:47:39,892 --> 00:47:41,828
Anything to make it look as if Bo
had been murdered.
744
00:47:41,994 --> 00:47:44,197
What about it, ma'am?
Oh, and another thing.
745
00:47:44,630 --> 00:47:47,700
The lab tells me the blood is only 24
hours old.
746
00:47:49,769 --> 00:47:53,239
All right, all right... I did it.
I planted the hat.
747
00:47:54,006 --> 00:47:56,142
I was just trying to get everybody off
the dime.
748
00:47:58,177 --> 00:48:00,446
I guess I'm in trouble, huh?
Falsifying evidence?
749
00:48:00,613 --> 00:48:03,850
There's no real harm done.
Surely she didn't break any laws.
750
00:48:03,983 --> 00:48:05,752
Your help I don't need.
751
00:48:05,985 --> 00:48:08,755
Like Mr. Markham says, there was no
harm done.
752
00:48:08,888 --> 00:48:12,625
As far as I'm concerned, I think
everybody can forget about it.
753
00:48:13,192 --> 00:48:14,494
Well now I'll be going.
754
00:48:15,795 --> 00:48:19,265
Mr. Markham! May I borrow that will
for an hour or two?
755
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,035
I'm afraid it isn't mine.
It belongs to Jennifer.
756
00:48:23,136 --> 00:48:24,270
Why don't I take it back to her?
757
00:48:24,404 --> 00:48:26,773
I'm sure dropping it off will take
you out of your way.
758
00:48:27,940 --> 00:48:28,841
Suit yourself.
759
00:48:46,759 --> 00:48:48,361
Let me ask you this question.
760
00:48:49,128 --> 00:48:51,097
Is this the first pile iron you sunk?
761
00:48:51,731 --> 00:48:55,868
That's pile D-3. We did that the
day of the dedication.
762
00:48:56,068 --> 00:48:58,070
You were here, remember I saw you
coming in.
763
00:48:58,237 --> 00:49:00,006
Well, what happens then?
You just dig a hole...
764
00:49:00,139 --> 00:49:01,607
...and you just plop the stuff in?
765
00:49:01,741 --> 00:49:03,643
We usually dig 'em the day before.
766
00:49:03,810 --> 00:49:07,413
I see. Then you have this big hole
sitting there all night.
767
00:49:08,414 --> 00:49:11,317
It's not a safety hazard, Lieutenant.
Don't worry about it.
768
00:49:11,451 --> 00:49:12,952
I see...
769
00:49:17,757 --> 00:49:19,058
Mr. Markham.
770
00:49:32,605 --> 00:49:34,373
The Lieutenant was looking for you,
Mr. Markham.
771
00:49:34,707 --> 00:49:36,142
I'm sure he was.
772
00:49:37,176 --> 00:49:39,078
I see you have our building records.
773
00:49:39,278 --> 00:49:41,280
Yes, sir... but he wanted to
take a look.
774
00:49:41,380 --> 00:49:42,849
Now, listen. I didn't think you'd mind.
775
00:49:42,949 --> 00:49:44,116
No. Of course not.
776
00:49:44,250 --> 00:49:46,886
I wouldn't dampen your new
interest in architecture.
777
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:48,354
All right, Carl. Thanks.
778
00:49:49,689 --> 00:49:51,224
Lieutenant... anybody ever tell
you...
779
00:49:51,324 --> 00:49:53,426
...you're very much like an arachnid?
780
00:49:54,126 --> 00:49:54,794
A what?
781
00:49:54,894 --> 00:49:57,763
A tick. They're quite common, but
excessively tenacious.
782
00:49:57,864 --> 00:50:01,934
They hang on and they let go only
under extreme prodding.
783
00:50:02,635 --> 00:50:03,803
I never heard of 'em.
784
00:50:10,610 --> 00:50:11,544
There it is.
785
00:50:11,911 --> 00:50:12,778
There's what?
786
00:50:17,149 --> 00:50:18,551
Pile D-3.
787
00:50:18,818 --> 00:50:19,785
What do you mean?
788
00:50:20,820 --> 00:50:21,954
Let's dig it up.
789
00:50:22,622 --> 00:50:23,322
What?
790
00:50:23,422 --> 00:50:25,191
Come on. You know you want to.
791
00:50:25,491 --> 00:50:26,626
I don't know what you're talking
about?
792
00:50:26,792 --> 00:50:30,096
Well, it's such a marvelous place to
hide a body.
793
00:50:30,496 --> 00:50:33,933
A crew comes in and digs a hole.
The hole sits there overnight.
794
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:36,168
If I were a murderer...
hypothetically speaking...
795
00:50:36,335 --> 00:50:38,137
...of course, it would be made to
order.
796
00:50:38,471 --> 00:50:39,805
I'd just drive up and dump the body.
797
00:50:39,939 --> 00:50:42,875
The next morning the crew comes in and
fills the hole with concrete.
798
00:50:43,009 --> 00:50:45,111
Neat, clean, foolproof.
799
00:50:45,278 --> 00:50:48,281
Wait a minute. If you were a
murderer... hypothetically...
800
00:50:48,381 --> 00:50:51,017
...like you say, you're not gonna
tell this to the police.
801
00:50:51,350 --> 00:50:54,287
Why not? You'd never be able to
dig it up.
802
00:50:55,221 --> 00:50:59,058
Besides how do you know I'm not a victim
of my own bravado?
803
00:51:19,679 --> 00:51:23,883
How much would it cost? I mean,
to actually dig up pile D-3.
804
00:51:24,183 --> 00:51:25,751
Just for the sake of curiosity.
805
00:51:25,885 --> 00:51:28,220
A great deal more than your bank
account, Lieutenant.
806
00:51:28,421 --> 00:51:29,755
To say nothing of the permits,
807
00:51:29,889 --> 00:51:32,191
...assuming you got permission,
which is doubtful.
808
00:51:32,625 --> 00:51:35,294
Hmmm... probably be a mess wouldn't it?
809
00:51:35,394 --> 00:51:36,662
It's a lot of concrete...
810
00:51:36,762 --> 00:51:38,097
Yeah, sure is.
811
00:51:39,265 --> 00:51:41,400
You really believe that Bo
Williamson...
812
00:51:41,534 --> 00:51:43,135
...met with foul play, don't you?
813
00:51:43,603 --> 00:51:46,872
Astonishing. There's no body,
no proof.
814
00:51:47,006 --> 00:51:50,276
Aside from Goldie's pathetic
attempt at fraud, no motive.
815
00:51:50,409 --> 00:51:52,211
Well, actually there is a motive.
816
00:51:52,578 --> 00:51:53,379
Oh?
817
00:51:53,579 --> 00:51:55,815
Oh, yes. It's in Mr. Williamson's
will.
818
00:51:56,415 --> 00:51:59,318
You see, before I dropped it off at
his wife's house, I stopped by...
819
00:51:59,485 --> 00:52:02,788
...to see my brother-in-law.
He's an attorney.
820
00:52:03,456 --> 00:52:06,125
Nothing big, you understand,
but he's pretty good.
821
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:08,594
You've been very busy.
822
00:52:09,061 --> 00:52:10,696
Well, it's just part of the job.
823
00:52:10,930 --> 00:52:15,267
Anyway, he tells me there's a very
interesting clause in that will.
824
00:52:16,035 --> 00:52:18,404
It says that if Mr. Williamson dies,
825
00:52:18,971 --> 00:52:21,974
his wife Jennifer doesn't gain
control of the estate.
826
00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:25,177
Is that so?
827
00:52:26,812 --> 00:52:30,783
Yes. Aside from Goldie's 25 percent,
the entire thing goes into a trust.
828
00:52:31,550 --> 00:52:34,420
And the wife, all she gets is the
income from the interest.
829
00:52:35,521 --> 00:52:36,789
How nice for her.
830
00:52:37,089 --> 00:52:38,524
Yes, it's lotta money...
831
00:52:38,824 --> 00:52:41,360
...but it's a lot less than it takes to
finance your city.
832
00:52:42,061 --> 00:52:43,896
You're proving my point,
Lieutenant.
833
00:52:44,063 --> 00:52:45,765
I have no interest in seeing Bo dead.
834
00:52:45,898 --> 00:52:47,133
I want the city built.
835
00:52:47,967 --> 00:52:50,569
Yeah, but if he's dead and
it can't be proved,
836
00:52:50,970 --> 00:52:53,105
...then legally he's considered
alive...
837
00:52:53,706 --> 00:52:56,442
...which means his wife can spend
the money without restrictions.
838
00:52:56,842 --> 00:52:59,378
She can go right ahead and
bankroll your city.
839
00:53:01,514 --> 00:53:03,149
Quite a lawyer, your brother-in-law.
840
00:53:03,516 --> 00:53:06,018
Yeah. The whole family, we're kinda
proud of him.
841
00:53:07,353 --> 00:53:09,488
As long as he's giving you so much
free counsel...
842
00:53:09,622 --> 00:53:11,390
...I hope there's one other point
that he made.
843
00:53:11,557 --> 00:53:12,324
What's that?
844
00:53:12,858 --> 00:53:15,828
A man can be declared legally dead
without a corpus delicti.
845
00:53:16,028 --> 00:53:18,864
But if you really want to make a case
against someone...
846
00:53:19,231 --> 00:53:21,033
...it might help if you found a body.
847
00:53:21,701 --> 00:53:22,768
Yeah, I know.
848
00:53:23,035 --> 00:53:27,840
See, I figure I gotta come up with
something concrete.
849
00:55:27,426 --> 00:55:29,195
I... uh... need some information
about...
850
00:55:29,361 --> 00:55:30,696
Just a minute, please.
851
00:55:38,671 --> 00:55:39,605
Yes.
852
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,374
I want some information.
853
00:55:42,474 --> 00:55:45,678
How do I go about getting
permission to dig up a pile of...
854
00:55:45,845 --> 00:55:47,947
...a building that's already under
construction?
855
00:55:49,081 --> 00:55:49,949
I beg your pardon?
856
00:55:51,016 --> 00:55:54,453
A pile of a building that's
under construction.
857
00:55:54,587 --> 00:55:55,754
I want to dig it up.
858
00:55:57,189 --> 00:55:58,424
Regular size pile?
859
00:55:59,158 --> 00:55:59,925
Yeah...
860
00:56:00,426 --> 00:56:01,560
Ten thousand pounds?
861
00:56:02,695 --> 00:56:03,729
I would think so.
862
00:56:08,300 --> 00:56:12,271
Ah... Section 346-B... Foundations.
863
00:56:12,672 --> 00:56:14,708
Do you know how much a thing like that
would cost?
864
00:56:16,276 --> 00:56:17,177
No. How much?
865
00:56:20,847 --> 00:56:23,483
See 581-D...
866
00:56:26,453 --> 00:56:27,854
Here we are.
867
00:56:30,223 --> 00:56:33,593
What's your connection,
by the way? Contractor, owner?
868
00:56:35,128 --> 00:56:38,164
No, I'm from the police. Lieutenant
Columbo.
869
00:56:38,331 --> 00:56:43,203
Well, you'll have to have a
departmental approval...
870
00:56:43,303 --> 00:56:46,606
...under regulation 613 of the
Municipal Code.
871
00:56:46,740 --> 00:56:48,008
I see... that's...
872
00:56:49,376 --> 00:56:50,010
613?
873
00:56:50,110 --> 00:56:51,378
613.
874
00:56:52,245 --> 00:56:57,851
Now, once you get that, you file your
permits, your requisition slips,
875
00:56:57,951 --> 00:57:02,656
and if the Mayor's office
approves of that, then you're set.
876
00:57:03,456 --> 00:57:05,625
Been to the Structural Engineering
Department?
877
00:57:06,526 --> 00:57:07,360
What for?
878
00:57:08,495 --> 00:57:12,732
Lieutenant, you have to show the
exact foundation to be torn out...
879
00:57:12,866 --> 00:57:14,401
...so we can make our estimates.
880
00:57:17,103 --> 00:57:18,305
Where do I do that?
881
00:57:19,439 --> 00:57:22,242
Room 316. Down the hall.
882
00:57:22,342 --> 00:57:23,910
All right. I'll be right back.
883
00:58:00,046 --> 00:58:01,047
I got 'em.
884
00:58:01,348 --> 00:58:02,248
Good.
885
00:58:03,116 --> 00:58:03,917
Well?
886
00:58:04,818 --> 00:58:06,920
Lunch hour.
Come back at 1 o'clock.
887
00:58:52,232 --> 00:58:53,166
OK!
888
00:58:59,472 --> 00:59:00,807
How long have you been digging
here?
889
00:59:00,907 --> 00:59:02,509
Since about 8 this morning.
890
00:59:02,842 --> 00:59:04,944
And how much is this going to cost?
891
00:59:05,078 --> 00:59:05,979
I don't know.
892
00:59:06,279 --> 00:59:08,882
Inspector? How much is all this
going to cost?
893
00:59:09,482 --> 00:59:10,517
Uhh...
894
00:59:12,619 --> 00:59:14,020
He won't tell you. I'll tell you.
895
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,755
It's gonna cost considerable.
896
00:59:44,417 --> 00:59:48,488
Hi, Lieutenant. You know, you can
still stop it before it's too late.
897
00:59:50,023 --> 00:59:53,326
You know I went to so much trouble
to get the permission...
898
00:59:54,527 --> 00:59:55,528
...I think I'd better go ahead.
899
00:59:55,628 --> 00:59:56,429
Well, that's up to you.
900
00:59:57,263 --> 00:59:58,665
I hope you realize how much work...
901
00:59:58,765 --> 01:00:00,600
...you're causing for a great many
people.
902
01:00:01,667 --> 01:00:04,103
Well, it's a lot more than I expected.
I'll give you that.
903
01:00:15,315 --> 01:00:17,984
You should have dressed for the
occasion.
904
01:00:18,118 --> 01:00:18,852
What?
905
01:00:19,385 --> 01:00:20,320
They're taking a picture.
906
01:00:20,453 --> 01:00:23,022
You're gonna be a celebrity on
the 6 o'clock news.
907
01:00:23,790 --> 01:00:25,959
All right. Come on!
Give me a break, huh?
908
01:00:26,593 --> 01:00:29,629
I wanna apologize for the press.
909
01:00:29,762 --> 01:00:31,598
I didn't realize they were gonna
be here.
910
01:00:32,065 --> 01:00:35,268
I had nothing to do with it. Must've been
a leak down in the department.
911
01:00:35,368 --> 01:00:36,302
No, I invited them.
912
01:00:36,970 --> 01:00:38,271
Hope you don't mind.
I intend to make...
913
01:00:38,438 --> 01:00:39,506
a statement when you're finished.
914
01:00:40,273 --> 01:00:41,241
You do?
915
01:00:41,374 --> 01:00:43,309
Maybe I'll have a statement of
my own.
916
01:00:44,611 --> 01:00:45,979
Well, you're clutching at straws.
917
01:00:49,182 --> 01:00:51,317
Carl. You're keeping a record of
the delay...
918
01:00:51,451 --> 01:00:52,952
...in construction time, aren't you?
919
01:00:53,052 --> 01:00:54,087
Yes, sir.
920
01:00:54,220 --> 01:00:55,488
All right. Fine.
921
01:00:56,823 --> 01:00:59,492
Lieutenant,I want you to know
I admire you.
922
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:00,960
Really?
923
01:01:01,060 --> 01:01:02,762
You've got the courage of
your conviction.
924
01:01:02,862 --> 01:01:06,933
That's an admirable trait, misdirected
as it may be.
925
01:01:13,206 --> 01:01:15,308
Lieutenant! There you are.
926
01:01:16,676 --> 01:01:21,281
You just stay right there because
I am gonna love you to death.
927
01:01:22,348 --> 01:01:24,751
We could have used you at the Alamo.
You've got guts!
928
01:01:24,851 --> 01:01:25,685
Oh...
929
01:01:25,785 --> 01:01:27,387
Jennifer called and told me
about this.
930
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:28,855
Then she pulled the covers over
her head...
931
01:01:28,988 --> 01:01:30,723
...which is her way of dealing
with problems.
932
01:01:30,924 --> 01:01:32,292
But I'm here to give you support.
933
01:01:32,425 --> 01:01:34,060
Thanks. I appreciate that.
934
01:01:34,861 --> 01:01:37,130
Are you getting a little nervous,
Mr. Markham?
935
01:01:37,297 --> 01:01:38,097
Should I be?
936
01:01:38,198 --> 01:01:39,966
Well, it depends on what's down there.
937
01:01:40,099 --> 01:01:42,168
The usual, Goldie... bedrock and
cement.
938
01:01:42,268 --> 01:01:43,836
Hmmm... I wonder.
939
01:01:44,003 --> 01:01:44,938
So does the Lieutenant.
940
01:01:45,071 --> 01:01:47,640
But he'll have his curiosity
satisfied soon enough.
941
01:01:48,074 --> 01:01:50,343
Mr. Markham. Can I see you a moment,
please?
942
01:01:54,781 --> 01:01:57,650
Don't be intimidated.
I think he's scared.
943
01:02:02,422 --> 01:02:05,391
If this looks all right to you,
can I bring in the crane?
944
01:02:05,758 --> 01:02:07,193
All right. Bring her in, take her up.
945
01:02:07,293 --> 01:02:08,294
What's happening?
946
01:02:08,428 --> 01:02:09,429
Another half an hour.
947
01:02:11,264 --> 01:02:12,432
Another half hour.
948
01:02:13,399 --> 01:02:14,534
Nervous, Lieutenant?
949
01:02:16,035 --> 01:02:17,070
Yeah, a little.
950
01:02:17,303 --> 01:02:20,073
Why not? You're learning
architecture the hard way.
951
01:02:41,894 --> 01:02:42,795
Take her up!
952
01:03:59,706 --> 01:04:01,574
OK, fellas. Let's forget it, huh?
953
01:04:13,386 --> 01:04:15,788
Nothing here, Mr. Markham.
Not even a button.
954
01:04:45,585 --> 01:04:47,387
Well, Lieutenant Columbo?
955
01:04:51,591 --> 01:04:52,825
I guess I was wrong.
956
01:04:53,393 --> 01:04:55,228
I consider that an accurate
statement.
957
01:04:55,561 --> 01:04:57,063
Do you have a moment?
I'd like to talk to you.
958
01:04:57,463 --> 01:04:58,998
Nothing I'd like better.
959
01:05:13,579 --> 01:05:16,349
Mr. Markham, I think I owe you
an apology.
960
01:05:16,516 --> 01:05:17,750
Is that all you have to say?
961
01:05:18,217 --> 01:05:20,052
Not much. Good night.
962
01:05:21,554 --> 01:05:24,724
Carl. Fill up the excavation and
sink another hole.
963
01:05:24,924 --> 01:05:26,426
We'll pour the concrete
in the morning.
964
01:05:28,961 --> 01:05:31,197
Lieutenant, you say you owe me
an apology?
965
01:05:31,330 --> 01:05:32,765
Well, you owe me a great deal more
than that.
966
01:05:32,965 --> 01:05:33,933
There's not a trace of a body.
967
01:05:34,033 --> 01:05:35,868
Not a bit of clothing, not a ring,
nothing.
968
01:05:36,068 --> 01:05:39,472
Now I'm not a police officer, but
the conclusion seems to be obvious.
969
01:05:39,872 --> 01:05:42,775
You didn't find Bo Williamson
because he isn't here and he never was.
970
01:05:42,975 --> 01:05:44,377
Stop gloating.
971
01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:46,946
What's the matter, Goldie?
You should be delighted.
972
01:05:47,079 --> 01:05:48,414
It means that Bo is still alive.
973
01:05:48,781 --> 01:05:51,317
The only one who's suffered here
is the Lieutenant. And me.
974
01:05:51,484 --> 01:05:52,418
Why you?
975
01:05:53,152 --> 01:05:56,055
Well, I've been suspected of murder,
my work has been delayed...
976
01:05:56,222 --> 01:05:59,158
my relationship with Bo and Jennifer
has been jeopardized.
977
01:06:00,159 --> 01:06:03,463
Lieutenant, I'm sure you have a lot of
explaining to do to your superiors.
978
01:06:03,629 --> 01:06:06,365
So if you'll forgive me,
I'll be off.
979
01:06:09,869 --> 01:06:11,137
Here, put this on.
980
01:06:13,973 --> 01:06:15,408
I'm sorry, lover.
981
01:06:15,908 --> 01:06:16,943
That's okay, Goldie.
982
01:06:17,043 --> 01:06:20,146
No, it's my fault. I put the bug
in your ear.
983
01:06:20,813 --> 01:06:22,682
They're going to suspend you,
or something?
984
01:06:23,583 --> 01:06:24,450
I don't know.
985
01:06:25,184 --> 01:06:28,254
I'll buy you a drink.
I'll buy us both a drink.
986
01:06:28,387 --> 01:06:29,489
No, that's OK.
987
01:06:30,056 --> 01:06:32,058
Thank you, Goldie, you go ahead.
988
01:06:32,892 --> 01:06:36,062
I owe you one. I'll see you later.
989
01:09:11,150 --> 01:09:13,152
License and registration, please?
990
01:09:21,627 --> 01:09:22,795
That was real nice, sir.
991
01:09:22,928 --> 01:09:23,796
What?
992
01:09:24,196 --> 01:09:26,232
That was a real nice piece of
driving you did back there.
993
01:09:26,465 --> 01:09:28,234
The way you panned it, the way you
pulled it over.
994
01:09:28,634 --> 01:09:30,302
Oh, thank you.
995
01:09:31,237 --> 01:09:33,572
Left front. Could've been hairy.
996
01:09:33,973 --> 01:09:37,743
Yeah, it could've been... well,
there's no real harm done.
997
01:09:37,877 --> 01:09:39,879
Thank you for stopping. I appreciate it.
998
01:09:41,113 --> 01:09:41,881
Open up.
999
01:09:44,383 --> 01:09:45,484
What?
1000
01:09:45,851 --> 01:09:48,254
The trunk. You might as well get
your keys,
1001
01:09:48,387 --> 01:09:49,855
and I'll help you out with the spare.
1002
01:10:13,079 --> 01:10:14,213
Isn't that ridiculous!
1003
01:10:14,346 --> 01:10:15,314
What?
1004
01:10:16,382 --> 01:10:19,719
My spare... no air. It's useless.
1005
01:10:19,852 --> 01:10:23,189
I've been meaning to get it filled,
but you know how it is.
1006
01:10:23,289 --> 01:10:26,459
Well, why don't I call a tow truck?
They'll bring out a pump.
1007
01:10:26,959 --> 01:10:29,128
Oh, yeah. That's great. Thanks a lot.
1008
01:10:30,563 --> 01:10:31,464
Good night now.
1009
01:11:46,405 --> 01:11:47,840
Good evening, Mr. Markham.
1010
01:11:51,076 --> 01:11:52,211
Bo Williamson?
1011
01:11:59,451 --> 01:12:01,086
Ahead of me all the way,
weren't you?
1012
01:12:02,021 --> 01:12:03,589
Well, I kinda had a hunch.
1013
01:12:05,391 --> 01:12:08,961
You see, you kept trying to finesse me
into digging up that pile.
1014
01:12:09,228 --> 01:12:13,632
And I had to ask myself why. I mean,
you're not a dumb man, Mr. Markham.
1015
01:12:14,033 --> 01:12:16,035
You wouldn't lead me right to the body.
1016
01:12:16,535 --> 01:12:17,503
Then why did you dug it up?
1017
01:12:17,837 --> 01:12:19,605
I had to play along, didn't I?
1018
01:12:21,106 --> 01:12:24,243
You see, I figured you had the body
somewhere.
1019
01:12:24,343 --> 01:12:27,446
But what you really wanted was a fool
proof hiding place.
1020
01:12:28,047 --> 01:12:30,783
Now... what's better than a place
that's already been searched...
1021
01:12:31,183 --> 01:12:33,786
...at considerable cost and
my embarrassment.
1022
01:12:33,919 --> 01:12:34,587
Officer.
1023
01:12:34,687 --> 01:12:36,021
No, no. Don't bother.
1024
01:12:37,022 --> 01:12:39,258
You will admit it was a clever
idea.
1025
01:12:39,758 --> 01:12:43,596
Oh, yeah. It was perfect. Who would
look in the same place twice?
1026
01:12:45,164 --> 01:12:46,866
I should have left it where it was.
1027
01:12:47,132 --> 01:12:53,572
Mr. Markham, curious about that.
Where was it?
1028
01:12:55,007 --> 01:12:56,942
It was in the equipment shed
at his stables.
1029
01:12:57,643 --> 01:12:59,778
You never can be sure about
those things.
1030
01:13:00,813 --> 01:13:03,015
You know, bodies have a funny way of
surfacing.
1031
01:13:03,449 --> 01:13:04,984
No, this was brilliant.
1032
01:13:05,251 --> 01:13:07,887
Eventually you would've had a whole
building over the grave.
1033
01:13:08,654 --> 01:13:09,755
Yes, brilliant.
1034
01:13:10,155 --> 01:13:12,358
It was just that music thing that
bothered me.
1035
01:13:13,092 --> 01:13:15,995
Carnegie Hall and Nashville,
they don't mix.
1036
01:13:18,530 --> 01:13:20,933
No, no they don't.
