1. What about a composer?
Copy !req
2. I am not, uh, Irving Berlin.
Copy !req
3. More classical than that?
Copy !req
4. No, I am not Berlioz.
Copy !req
5. Another one.
Copy !req
6. I am not Brahms.
Copy !req
7. Are you a famous New York conductor?
Copy !req
8. No, I am not Leonard Bernstein.
Copy !req
9. Are you a famous murderer?
Copy !req
10. Good try, I am not Lizzie Borden.
Copy !req
11. I hope you stump him, darling,
because I am running out of B's.
Copy !req
12. All right, are you a well known
18th century English jurist?
Copy !req
13. Typical lawyer's question, Burt.
Copy !req
14. No, I'm not Sir William Blackstone...
Cynthia.
Copy !req
15. I pass.
Copy !req
16. You know, every time we play Botticelli
with you I feel like a dropout.
Copy !req
17. Do I see the flutter of white flags?
Copy !req
18. Go ahead... tell us who it is.
Copy !req
19. No, no, no, please!
Let's keep guessing.
Copy !req
20. We'll be here all night.
Copy !req
21. Come on, Ray.
Copy !req
22. It's very simple... Josef Breuer.
Copy !req
23. Who?
Copy !req
24. Breuer. He and Freud co-authored
"Studies on Hysteria."
Copy !req
25. That's unfair! Dr. Flemming,
you're a psychiatrist.
Copy !req
26. You should've picked someone
everyone knew.
Copy !req
27. Well, like who, honey?
Copy !req
28. Last time we played the game you were
stumped by Alexander Graham Bell.
Copy !req
29. Has my husband finished dazzling you
with his intelligence?
Copy !req
30. Because I have a little surprise for
everyone. Everyone ready?
Copy !req
31. Henri at the Denise found out about
our anniversary.
Copy !req
32. He insisted.
Copy !req
33. I insist we get at this while
it's cold.
Copy !req
34. I think a toast is in order.
Copy !req
35. To our host and hostess...
Copy !req
36. On the tenth anniversary of their
horrible mistake.
Copy !req
37. You'd better rephrase that, counselor.
Copy !req
38. Pleasure, your honor...
Copy !req
39. To the two finest people I ever knew.
Copy !req
40. Here's to ten more years of happiness.
Copy !req
41. Excuse me.
Copy !req
42. Hello?
Copy !req
43. Now?
Copy !req
44. Can't it wait?
Copy !req
45. We're having a party here.
Copy !req
46. I'll be there as soon as I can.
Copy !req
47. Believe me, anything Henri chooses is
superb.
Copy !req
48. He's got the best wine cellar in town.
Copy !req
49. Excuse me.
Copy !req
50. What is it darling?
Copy !req
51. It's a patient.
I'm afraid I have to leave.
Copy !req
52. This is our anniversary.
Copy !req
53. But it's an emergency.
He's having an anxiety attack.
Copy !req
54. You're not a family doctor.
Copy !req
55. You don't have to go chasing off...
Copy !req
56. every time somebody runs out of
tranquilizers.
Copy !req
57. Darling, we've been through this
before...
Copy !req
58. I won't allow you to leave.
We have guests...
Copy !req
59. And they shouldn't see us arguing,
should they?
Copy !req
60. Make my excuses. I'll try to get back
before they leave.
Copy !req
61. Do you love me?
Copy !req
62. How much?
Copy !req
63. This much...
Copy !req
64. Well, actually, I should be strangling
you.
Copy !req
65. Why?
Copy !req
66. You know I was giving a party.
Copy !req
67. I had to see you...
Copy !req
68. When I'm alone... I don't know,
I... I get confused.
Copy !req
69. Second thoughts?
Copy !req
70. A few.
Copy !req
71. It's a natural reaction...
under the circumstances.
Copy !req
72. I keep wishing there were
some other way.
Copy !req
73. There isn't.
Copy !req
74. But if you talk to her.
If I talk to her.
Copy !req
75. Joan, don't be naive.
Copy !req
76. We have one alternative.
We decided that a long time ago.
Copy !req
77. It's funny... I can't even picture what
she looks like.
Copy !req
78. Are we really so different?
Copy !req
79. Completely.
Copy !req
80. All right, I'm younger than she is,
I'm prettier.
Copy !req
81. But she's probably more intelligent
than I am.
Copy !req
82. It's a kind of destructive
intelligence.
Copy !req
83. Why me?
What have I got to offer?
Copy !req
84. A typical actress...
Copy !req
85. Too many bit parts
and too much ambition.
Copy !req
86. I like ambition.
Copy !req
87. For all the good it's done me.
Copy !req
88. It brought you to me, didn't it?
Copy !req
89. With my nails gnawed off and
every neurosis in the book.
Copy !req
90. I was in great shape, wasn't I?
Copy !req
91. It's not a bad shape at all.
Copy !req
92. Ray...
Copy !req
93. Ray, you do love me, don't you?
Copy !req
94. Very much.
Copy !req
95. I won't disappoint you tomorrow.
Copy !req
96. I never thought you would.
Copy !req
97. I didn't think you'd be up.
Copy !req
98. Don't bother to undress.
Copy !req
99. You're sleeping in the guest room.
I've turned down the bed.
Copy !req
100. Carol.
Copy !req
101. I think you should know I'm calling
my lawyers in the morning.
Copy !req
102. It's been a long day.
Do we have to start on that again?
Copy !req
103. You'll have to indulge me just this
one last time, deary.
Copy !req
104. It's lucky for you.
I'm too well-bred to throw a tantrum.
Copy !req
105. All right... fire away.
Copy !req
106. Six months ago I gave you a choice...
Copy !req
107. between me and your...
how shall I put it...
Copy !req
108. Extracurricular activity.
Copy !req
109. I made that choice.
Copy !req
110. I wanted a husband in fact,
not just in appearance.
Copy !req
111. If you refused I'd divorce you.
Copy !req
112. There was a catch to that, as I recall.
Copy !req
113. Well, naturally. You don't think
I'm going to make it easy for you?
Copy !req
114. I'd create as much scandal as I
possibly could...
Copy !req
115. and ruin your practice, entirely.
Copy !req
116. Aside from taking every penny that
I've got.
Copy !req
117. Those were my terms.
You accepted them...
Copy !req
118. until tonight.
Copy !req
119. Carol, none of this is necessary.
Copy !req
120. I told you.
I was with a patient.
Copy !req
121. Till one in the morning? What are you
doing, giving discount rates?
Copy !req
122. On my way home I dropped by
to see Dr. Cobb.
Copy !req
123. He was the referral psychoanalyst
and we discussed the case.
Copy !req
124. Do you really expect me to believe
that?
Copy !req
125. Call him.
Copy !req
126. What's that gonna prove?
He's a friend of yours.
Copy !req
127. But his wife is a friend of yours,
talk to her.
Copy !req
128. Hang up, hang up...
Copy !req
129. I haven't seen Cobb
for two weeks.
Copy !req
130. Then you've been lying to me.
Copy !req
131. Not the way you think.
Copy !req
132. Well I guess, the game's up...
Copy !req
133. I stopped by the hospital
to see Dr. Rosales.
Copy !req
134. We talked about the trip you and I
were going to take to Acapulco.
Copy !req
135. Acapulco?
Copy !req
136. Yeah, we leave tomorrow night.
Copy !req
137. Well, I thought we could use
a couple of days in the sun.
Copy !req
138. Just you and me.
Copy !req
139. Happy anniversary, darling.
Copy !req
140. Oh, Ray, darling.
Copy !req
141. That's why I stopped in to see
Rosales.
Copy !req
142. He's from Mexico and I thought maybe
he could...
Copy !req
143. fill me in on what to do
when we got there.
Copy !req
144. Why didn't you tell me?
Copy !req
145. Well, I was saving it for breakfast.
I wanted it to be a surprise.
Copy !req
146. And I almost ruined it.
Copy !req
147. Oh, darling.
Copy !req
148. So you're going to have
a big day tomorrow.
Copy !req
149. Why don't you get some sleep.
Copy !req
150. I think I'll read for a while.
Copy !req
151. Ray...
Copy !req
152. You can go in now, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
153. Thank you.
Copy !req
154. Oh, darling, you're tense.
Copy !req
155. A little.
Copy !req
156. Did you get any sleep last night?
Copy !req
157. No... Well, maybe an hour or two.
Copy !req
158. Take one of these when you get home.
Copy !req
159. What are they?
Copy !req
160. Sleeping pills. I want you to
get some rest this afternoon.
Copy !req
161. I can't. I'm working.
Copy !req
162. This is an odd time to be pursuing
your career, isn't it?
Copy !req
163. How many chances do I get?
Copy !req
164. It's a good part.
Copy !req
165. Let's concentrate on the part you're
playing tonight.
Copy !req
166. Do you think it'll fit?
Copy !req
167. Might be a little big.
Copy !req
168. Noticeably?
Copy !req
169. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
170. Shall I take it home with me?
Copy !req
171. No, I don't want you wearing it
until it's necessary.
Copy !req
172. This photograph is the best one
I have of her.
Copy !req
173. In theothers, she's standing off in the
distance or wearing sunglasses.
Copy !req
174. Notice the makeup.
Copy !req
175. She uses a heavy eyebrow pencil.
Copy !req
176. What about the wig?
Copy !req
177. I'll get it from the studio makeup
department today.
Copy !req
178. They'll never know it's missing.
Copy !req
179. Good, you take that along with you
as reference,
Copy !req
180. But be sure you bring it back
tonight...
Copy !req
181. Well, what about the timing?
Copy !req
182. I'll be at your apartment
at nine o'clock.
Copy !req
183. But no sooner.
Copy !req
184. How do you get there?
Copy !req
185. Car?
Copy !req
186. You're testing me?
Copy !req
187. Do you mind?
Copy !req
188. No, I suppose we both have to be
sure about things.
Copy !req
189. I won't drive, I'll come by bus.
Copy !req
190. I'll get off a few blocks away and
walk.
Copy !req
191. Right.
Copy !req
192. Use the back entrance to the garage,
then take the service elevator.
Copy !req
193. The apartment number?
Copy !req
194. You're in the penthouse.
I ring the bell twice.
Copy !req
195. Anything else?
Copy !req
196. Joan?
Copy !req
197. The sunglasses.
Copy !req
198. Good girl.
Copy !req
199. And a large purse for the dress.
Copy !req
200. Are you sure of everything?
Should I do it over again?
Copy !req
201. No, I don't what to talk about it
any more.
Copy !req
202. Oh, but it'll be fine.
I promise you.
Copy !req
203. Just pretend you're working
on a role... right down to the props.
Copy !req
204. I'll see you tonight.
Copy !req
205. Ten o'clock?
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
206. The plane's leaving on schedule.
Copy !req
207. Then you'd better hurry.
Copy !req
208. Oh, darling, let's not rush.
Copy !req
209. Here, let me help you with that.
Copy !req
210. You're a brilliant man, but you're not
very mechanical.
Copy !req
211. That's what wives are for.
Copy !req
212. That and other things.
Copy !req
213. Burt Gordon called today.
Copy !req
214. Anything important?
Copy !req
215. No, just to wish us a pleasant trip.
Copy !req
216. He could use a vacation himself,
you know.
Copy !req
217. He's prosecuting two new cases
next month.
Copy !req
218. Well, that's what he gets for having
political ambitions...
Copy !req
219. Do you remember him when he was in
law school?
Copy !req
220. Vaguely.
Copy !req
221. I never saw anybody work so hard...
including you.
Copy !req
222. I didn't have to.
My wife had a rich father.
Copy !req
223. And you married me for my money.
Copy !req
224. Not yours, darling.
Your father's.
Copy !req
225. I like to think you loved me a little.
Didn't you?
Copy !req
226. Of course I did...
Copy !req
227. Is the maid coming tomorrow?
Copy !req
228. As far as I know.
Copy !req
229. Why don't you give her a call and check?
Sometimes she forgets.
Copy !req
230. All right.
Copy !req
231. Oh, say did you see my blue dress?
My blue wool?
Copy !req
232. My blue wool dress.
Copy !req
233. I was going to take it on the trip.
I can't find anywhere.
Copy !req
234. Maybe you sent it to the cleaners.
Copy !req
235. Oh, no... it should be in the closet.
Where is that address book?
Copy !req
236. Charlotte... this is Mrs. Flemming.
Copy !req
237. I just wanted to be sure
you'll be in tomorrow.
Copy !req
238. Good.
Copy !req
239. Oh, don't forget to water
the plants, huh?
Copy !req
240. You've got your key, huh?
Copy !req
241. Good.
Copy !req
242. Oh, yes, we will.
Thank you very much. Bye.
Copy !req
243. She's coming in at ten.
Copy !req
244. Good.
Copy !req
245. Drink, darling?
Copy !req
246. No. Set it down, will you?
Copy !req
247. Such a beautiful night, isn't it?
Copy !req
248. I hadn't noticed.
Copy !req
249. Perfect weather for flying.
You can see for miles.
Copy !req
250. Do you know what I was thinking?
Copy !req
251. What?
Copy !req
252. When we get back we must redecorate.
Copy !req
253. The place looks cold... it should
have warmer colors.
Copy !req
254. Maybe we should buy some paintings of
soup cans.
Copy !req
255. If you think so.
Copy !req
256. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Copy !req
257. We're going to have such a
wonderful time the next few days.
Copy !req
258. Does your secretary know
where you're going?
Copy !req
259. Only that we're in Mexico.
No specifics.
Copy !req
260. Good.
Complete privacy.
Copy !req
261. We're going to have a nice quiet
weekend.
Copy !req
262. You'd better close the doors
and change.
Copy !req
263. Our second honeymoon may be better
than our first.
Copy !req
264. Hello?
Copy !req
265. Oh... hello, Burt, how are you?
Copy !req
266. Well, yeah, Carol told me you called...
Copy !req
267. Fine, fine, we're just leaving...
Copy !req
268. Oh, no, she's uh... she's dressing.
Copy !req
269. Yes, I'll tell her.
Copy !req
270. I'd better be going now, Burt.
Give our love to Cynthia, will you?
Copy !req
271. All right.
Copy !req
272. Joan!
Copy !req
273. Did anyone see you come up?
Copy !req
274. There's a drink on the bar.
Take it.
Copy !req
275. No, I...
Copy !req
276. Take it!
Copy !req
277. And I want you to wear these gloves.
Copy !req
278. Don't, please. I don't need a drink.
I'll be all right.
Copy !req
279. Be careful not to touch anything.
Copy !req
280. Did you bring the photograph?
Copy !req
281. The wig?
Copy !req
282. Yes, some shoes to go with the dress.
Copy !req
283. Very good.
Copy !req
284. Put this on.
Come on get ready.
Copy !req
285. It looks fine.
Copy !req
286. It won't fool anybody.
Copy !req
287. Don't be negative.
Copy !req
288. Suppose we meet someone who knows
your wife?
Copy !req
289. I don't even look like her.
Copy !req
290. People see what they expect to see.
It's the principle of association.
Copy !req
291. You're dressed like Carol and you're
travelling with me...
Copy !req
292. That means you are my wife.
Copy !req
293. Are we ready?
Copy !req
294. Not yet.
Make your call to the cleaners.
Copy !req
295. What are you waiting for?
Copy !req
296. Well... won't they be closed this time
of night?
Copy !req
297. They're open till midnight.
Copy !req
298. Rodeo Cleaners? This is...
Copy !req
299. This is Mrs. Flemming, Cumberland
Apartments on Wilshire.
Copy !req
300. I have a bundle of laundry and some
things to clean...
Copy !req
301. It'll be outside the door.
Copy !req
302. I'm leaving it outside the door.
Copy !req
303. Will you have someone pick it up
first thing in the morning?
Copy !req
304. Thank you.
Copy !req
305. Fine. The sunglasses.
Copy !req
306. Where are they?
Copy !req
307. I know I have them.
Copy !req
308. Good.
Copy !req
309. Now, put these on.
Copy !req
310. Why?
Copy !req
311. She always wore them with that dress.
Copy !req
312. When you get back from the airport,
Copy !req
313. add the her dress and the gloves
to that bundle.
Copy !req
314. What about the wig?
Copy !req
315. I'll return it Monday.
No one will know I have it.
Copy !req
316. Fine.
Copy !req
317. Are you ready?
Copy !req
318. I think so.
Copy !req
319. Let's get started.
Copy !req
320. The light.
Copy !req
321. Dr. and Mrs. Ray Flemming,
ticket on 12-A.
Copy !req
322. Thank you.
Copy !req
323. Wait, you're 13 pounds
overweight, Doctor.
Copy !req
324. Put it on my credit card, will you?
Copy !req
325. Mrs. Flemming.
Copy !req
326. Carol.
Copy !req
327. Mrs. Flemming...
Copy !req
328. Yes?
Copy !req
329. Will you be carrying any
hand luggage aboard?
Copy !req
330. No.
Copy !req
331. Will you sign here please, Doctor?
Copy !req
332. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
333. That'll be at Gate 35 boarding in
about three minutes.
Copy !req
334. Have a pleasant trip, sir.
Copy !req
335. Thank you.
Copy !req
336. Flight number 12-A for Acapulco
is in the final boarding...
Copy !req
337. process at Gate number 35.
Copy !req
338. Passengers having reservations
for this flight should be on board.
Copy !req
339. May I have your names, please?
Copy !req
340. Dr. and Mrs. Flemming.
Copy !req
341. Ah, aisle 3, seats A and B.
Copy !req
342. Thank you.
Copy !req
343. Remember... don't call or try to get
in touch with me.
Copy !req
344. I'll reach you.
Copy !req
345. When will I see you?
Copy !req
346. Not for a while.
At least a week.
Copy !req
347. Ray, I'm worried.
Copy !req
348. Don't be.
Just try to get some rest.
Copy !req
349. And don't read the papers,
they'll upset you.
Copy !req
350. Shall we get started?
Copy !req
351. What should I say?
Copy !req
352. You're an actress, darling.
Improvise.
Copy !req
353. If you feel that way, why'd you
agree to come along?
Copy !req
354. It's a good question!
I really don't know.
Copy !req
355. You never wanted to take this trip
in the first place.
Copy !req
356. Can you blame me?
Copy !req
357. What am I supposed to do... sit in our
room while you go fishing?
Copy !req
358. Maybe you'd rather not go at all!
Copy !req
359. Maybe I wouldn't!
Copy !req
360. Fine. Spend the weekend
with your friends.
Copy !req
361. Run up a nice bar bill.
Copy !req
362. Leave my friends out of this!
Copy !req
363. Will you lower your voice?
People are listening.
Copy !req
364. I don't care who's listening!
I wasn't the one that started this.
Copy !req
365. You're making a scene.
Copy !req
366. Oh, this is impossible!
Copy !req
367. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
368. Isn't it obvious?
I'm leaving!
Copy !req
369. Carol, don't be a fool.
Copy !req
370. Have they shut the door yet?
Copy !req
371. No, ma'am, but we're just about to...
Copy !req
372. Enjoy yourself. I'm sure
you'll have a better time without me.
Copy !req
373. Carol!
Copy !req
374. Is there anything I can do, sir?
Copy !req
375. No, let her go.
Copy !req
376. Miguel, why don't you fix us some lunch?
I'm starving.
Copy !req
377. Doctor Flemming?
Copy !req
378. Who are you?
Copy !req
379. Lieutenant Columbo, police.
Copy !req
380. I don't understand.
Copy !req
381. What's happened here?
Copy !req
382. Where's my wife?
Copy !req
383. Maybe you'd better sit down.
I've got some bad news for you.
Copy !req
384. Has something happened to Carol?
Copy !req
385. You sure you don't want to sit down?
Copy !req
386. Has she been in an accident?
Copy !req
387. Not exactly...
Copy !req
388. Well, what is it?
Tell me.
Copy !req
389. Well... somebody broke in here and
tried to kill her.
Copy !req
390. Tried to kill her?
Copy !req
391. That's right, Doctor.
She's lucky, she's still alive.
Copy !req
392. She's still alive...
Copy !req
393. Well, where is she now?
Copy !req
394. She's at the hospital.
Copy !req
395. You're sure you don't wanta drink?
Water, brandy or something?
Copy !req
396. No, no, I want to know how she is.
Copy !req
397. Is she conscious?
Has she been able to say anything?
Copy !req
398. I'm afraid not.
She's been in a coma.
Copy !req
399. What's her condition, right now?
Copy !req
400. Oh, come on!
I must know the truth.
Copy !req
401. It's not very good, Doctor.
Copy !req
402. We only hope she comes to long
enough to be able to talk to us.
Copy !req
403. I've got to see her!
Copy !req
404. Don't you think you ought to rest a
while?
Copy !req
405. After all, it's been quite a shock...
Copy !req
406. Well you can understand.
Copy !req
407. My wife's in hospital.
She may be dying.
Copy !req
408. I want to see her.
Copy !req
409. All right.
I've got a car downstairs.
Copy !req
410. I don't want to talk to anyone, now.
Copy !req
411. Might be the hospital, Doctor.
They know I'm here.
Copy !req
412. Hello?
This is Dr. Flemming.
Copy !req
413. Darling, I just had to talk to you.
The newspapers...
Copy !req
414. No, I... I can't keep any
appointments today.
Copy !req
415. Why don't you come in Friday at two?
Copy !req
416. My secretary will verify it.
Copy !req
417. Ray... is there someone with you?
Copy !req
418. They expect me to be on call
at all hours.
Copy !req
419. Same with me, Doc.
Copy !req
420. Nurse, I'm Dr. Flemming.
Copy !req
421. My wife is a patient here.
I'd like to see her.
Copy !req
422. I'm afraid she's on the critical list.
Copy !req
423. She's not permitted to have any
visitors.
Copy !req
424. Miss, I'm a Doctor!
Copy !req
425. I'm sorry, but my orders...
Copy !req
426. Is Dr. Lansbury still Chief of staff
here?
Copy !req
427. Tell him that Dr. Ray Flemming is here
and would like to see him.
Copy !req
428. He may be in surgery, Doctor.
Copy !req
429. But you wouldn't know that unless
you check, would you mind?
Copy !req
430. Dr. Lansbury, please, reception.
Copy !req
431. There's a Dr. Flemming here.
He insists on seeing his wife.
Copy !req
432. Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
433. He's being paged.
Copy !req
434. Thank you.
Copy !req
435. Hospital red tape.
Copy !req
436. Yeah, I know what you mean, Doctor.
Copy !req
437. Well, let's get on with it.
Copy !req
438. Get on with what?
Copy !req
439. Your red tape...
Copy !req
440. This thief, did he leave any traces?
Copy !req
441. Oh, no. Not a thing. But of course
we might be able to run him down,
Copy !req
442. when he tries to sell the stuff
he stole.
Copy !req
443. We can't be sure, but we think maybe
he stole some of your wife's jewelry,
Copy !req
444. and some other things.
Copy !req
445. Listen Doc, when you get a chance,
Copy !req
446. Would you make out a list of
what was stolen?
Copy !req
447. Of course.
Copy !req
448. And then, we can check with
the fences and the pawn shops.
Copy !req
449. Who knows, you know,
something might turn up.
Copy !req
450. Oh, a few questions for my
report, Doc...
Copy !req
451. Now, you were in Mexico
when this thing took place.
Copy !req
452. And the dates, they were...
Copy !req
453. You don't have a pencil, do you?
Copy !req
454. Thanks.
Copy !req
455. You know, my wife, she gives me one
every morning, and uh...
Copy !req
456. I just can't seem to hold on to it.
Copy !req
457. Oh yes... Now, we know you were in
Mexico...
Copy !req
458. But the local police down there
they couldn't seem to locate you.
Copy !req
459. Yes, I was in a little village about
20 miles from Acapulco.
Copy !req
460. It was very quiet and relaxing.
Copy !req
461. And hardly any telephones.
Copy !req
462. Dr. Lansbury, call
reception desk, please.
Copy !req
463. I ah... I suppose you know about what
happened on the plane.
Copy !req
464. Yeah, yeah, we talked with the
airline people.
Copy !req
465. And they told us that you and
your wife checked in.
Copy !req
466. Boy, that really threw us.
Copy !req
467. But then of course we contacted the
stewardess and she explained what happened.
Copy !req
468. Yes, it was my fault.
Copy !req
469. We had an argument on the plane,
something ridiculous.
Copy !req
470. I never thought that she'd actually
leave.
Copy !req
471. Yeah, she probably went home and
went right to bed.
Copy !req
472. I guess the attack was
close to midnight.
Copy !req
473. I mean, we know she was at the
airport at ten o'clock.
Copy !req
474. Lieutenant, if there's any further way
that I can be of assistance to you.
Copy !req
475. Oh, no, no, you just make out
that list. That'll be fine, Doc.
Copy !req
476. Oh, oh, one more thing before I
forget.
Copy !req
477. I had to borrow a photograph
the other day. I hope you don't mind.
Copy !req
478. A photograph?
Copy !req
479. Yeah, a picture of you and your wife.
Copy !req
480. We had to have something to show the
stewardess. For identification.
Copy !req
481. I see.
Copy !req
482. She was still out of town, but we
contacted her by phone.
Copy !req
483. And we sent the picture down by
Wirephoto.
Copy !req
484. And?
Copy !req
485. She identified your wife.
Copy !req
486. The picture wasn't too clear
but she recognized her.
Copy !req
487. Ray!
Copy !req
488. I was hoping to find you here.
Are you all right?
Copy !req
489. I'm holding up, I suppose.
Copy !req
490. I just don't know what to say.
It's terrible.
Copy !req
491. We just saw her at your party.
Copy !req
492. I know.
Copy !req
493. What happened on Friday?
Copy !req
494. When I called, the two of you were
getting ready to leave.
Copy !req
495. We had an argument on the plane.
Suddenly Carol decided she wasn't going.
Copy !req
496. She walked off.
Copy !req
497. I shouldn't have let her...
Copy !req
498. You can't blame yourself.
How could you possibly have known.
Copy !req
499. Have you heard anything yet?
Copy !req
500. Not yet, Doctor.
Copy !req
501. Lieutenant Columbo.
Copy !req
502. My name's Gordon. I'm with the
District Attorney's office.
Copy !req
503. Yes, sir, I know.
Copy !req
504. I appreciate it, anything you
can do for Dr. Flemming.
Copy !req
505. He's a good friend of mine.
Copy !req
506. I'll try.
Copy !req
507. Ray, we're going to find the man
that is responsible for this.
Copy !req
508. As soon as Carol gets better and
can give us a full description.
Copy !req
509. By the way, Cynthia wants you to
spend the next few days with us.
Copy !req
510. Let me think about it, will you.
Copy !req
511. I understand.
Copy !req
512. Dr. Flemming?
Copy !req
513. Dr. Lansbury on the phone.
Copy !req
514. Hello, Doctor.
Copy !req
515. There's something I want you
to do for me.
Copy !req
516. Any progress so far?
Copy !req
517. Well, it's still a little early, but...
Copy !req
518. Sooner or later something
usually breaks.
Copy !req
519. Let's make that sooner.
Right, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
520. Try my best.
Copy !req
521. I'm sure you will.
Copy !req
522. I don't think I have to remind
you that this could be...
Copy !req
523. quite the little feather in your cap.
Copy !req
524. Wrap it up and everybody is happy.
Copy !req
525. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
526. Oh, I'm sorry. I was uh...
Copy !req
527. I was just thinking about something.
Copy !req
528. What was that?
Copy !req
529. No, it's nothing important. It's uh...
Copy !req
530. Dr. Flemming, he didn't call to his wife
when he came back to his apartment.
Copy !req
531. I don't follow you.
Copy !req
532. Well, I was in the bedroom
I was checking some things,
Copy !req
533. And I heard him open the front door.
And he didn't say anything...
Copy !req
534. Gee, it's funny how people are different,
isn't it?
Copy !req
535. Now, you take myself,
when I come home from a trip, uh...
Copy !req
536. First thing I do is,
I say, "Honey? You here?"
Copy !req
537. Exactly what is your point,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
538. Point?
Copy !req
539. I wasn't making a point.
Copy !req
540. It sounded to me as if you were.
Copy !req
541. You heard the man admit that
he had an argument with his wife.
Copy !req
542. He probably still had a chip on his
shoulder this morning.
Copy !req
543. I was only...
Copy !req
544. Lieutenant, I have already told you
that...
Copy !req
545. Dr. Flemming is a close
personal friend of mine.
Copy !req
546. Now I hope he's not going to be annoyed
by a lot of...
Copy !req
547. tactless remarks,
especially at a time like this.
Copy !req
548. Well, I'm sorry Mr. Gordon. I guess
I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Copy !req
549. They're letting me go up
to see her.
Copy !req
550. Good.
You need company?
Copy !req
551. No, I'd rather be with her alone.
Copy !req
552. I'll have to go with you, Doc.
Copy !req
553. Why?
Copy !req
554. We got a man on the door.
Copy !req
555. Uh... it's all right, officer.
This is her husband.
Copy !req
556. I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
Nobody's allowed in right now.
Copy !req
557. Why not?
Copy !req
558. She's conscious.
The doctor's with her.
Copy !req
559. Well, maybe we got lucky.
Copy !req
560. Oh, Doctor... I'm the patient's
husband. Is she... all right?
Copy !req
561. I'm sorry... she passed away.
Copy !req
562. Did she... did she say anything?
Copy !req
563. If it's any consolation, one thing
she said was your name...
Copy !req
564. Getting some fresh air?
Copy !req
565. I was on my way back from lunch.
Copy !req
566. Well, as a matter of fact, I was headed
toward your office myself.
Copy !req
567. Do you mind if I walk along?
Copy !req
568. Not at all.
Copy !req
569. Any news?
Copy !req
570. No, nothing much, Doctor.
Copy !req
571. We're just sorta waiting around...
Copy !req
572. until our friend tries to
get rid of the jewelry.
Copy !req
573. I'd imagine he'd hold on to it
for a while.
Copy !req
574. Yeah, probably.
Copy !req
575. Have I had any calls, Miss Petrie?
Copy !req
576. Five or six.
I left a list on your desk.
Copy !req
577. First day back and everyone wants me
to hold their hands.
Copy !req
578. You know, I've never been in a
psychiatrist's office before...
Copy !req
579. first time.
Copy !req
580. I keep looking for the couch.
Copy !req
581. So do my patients.
Copy !req
582. I keep telling them it's bad
for their posture.
Copy !req
583. "Bad for their posture,"
that's very good.
Copy !req
584. I tell you, you put me in a horizontal
position, I'd fall asleep.
Copy !req
585. Nice office, though.
It seems restful.
Copy !req
586. I guess it puts people in the mood
to talk.
Copy !req
587. You know, my sister, she has a
living room... it's very very modern.
Copy !req
588. Well, the minute you sit down there,
you can't open your mouth.
Copy !req
589. You know, she's got this big, kidney-shaped
coffee table.
Copy !req
590. It upsets me just to look at it.
Copy !req
591. Her husband, he doesn't say anything.
Copy !req
592. And I figure the coffee table
got to him years ago.
Copy !req
593. Is there something I can do for you?
Copy !req
594. No, not really, Doctor. No.
Copy !req
595. I just came up to bring back
your pen.
Copy !req
596. I forgot to give it to you
at the inquest.
Copy !req
597. Thanks. I missed it.
Copy !req
598. You know, that's my trouble,
I got a bad memory.
Copy !req
599. My wife tells me I oughtta have
strings on all ten fingers.
Copy !req
600. Was there anything else you wanted?
Copy !req
601. Oh no, it's nothing important.
There's one detail that bothers me.
Copy !req
602. What is it?
Copy !req
603. It's um... it's about you luggage.
Copy !req
604. My luggage?
Copy !req
605. I think you need fluid here.
Copy !req
606. Oh, no, maybe...
Copy !req
607. Oh, yeah, well it's quite a flame.
Copy !req
608. You were talking about my luggage.
Copy !req
609. Yeah. You took two suitcases
with you, didn't you?
Copy !req
610. Well. Actually we packed more than
we needed.
Copy !req
611. I went out to the airport the other
day. You know, just a routine check.
Copy !req
612. And it seems as though you were
13 pounds overweight.
Copy !req
613. You know, they keep those records.
Copy !req
614. Yes, I know.
I charged it on my credit card.
Copy !req
615. Well, when you came back,
Copy !req
616. I know, it's a stupid point, Doc,
and it doesn't mean anything.
Copy !req
617. But you were only
four pounds overweight.
Copy !req
618. I was wondering what happened
to the other nine pounds?
Copy !req
619. I don't see what that has to do
with my wife's death.
Copy !req
620. Oh, it's all part of the job.
Copy !req
621. You know, just trying to tie
the loose ends together.
Copy !req
622. You went to a lot of trouble, didn't you?
Going all the way out to the airport.
Copy !req
623. Forty-five minutes. Boy, that's
quite a place, that airport.
Copy !req
624. You know, I get lost just walking
around.
Copy !req
625. Lieutenant, about those nine pounds.
Copy !req
626. I took along a stack of trade journals
and medical magazines.
Copy !req
627. You know, it seems I never get a chance
to go through them at the office.
Copy !req
628. Catchin' up on your reading?
Copy !req
629. You might say that.
Copy !req
630. You didn't bring them back, then?
Copy !req
631. There'd be no reason to.
It was mostly advertising stuff.
Copy !req
632. And you figure they weighed as much
as nine pounds?
Copy !req
633. They'd have to. Why else
the weight discrepancy?
Copy !req
634. Yeah. Well, I guess
that clears that up.
Copy !req
635. OK Doc, thank you very much.
I'm sorry I bothered you.
Copy !req
636. No bother at all.
Copy !req
637. Oh, listen, there's one more thing.
Copy !req
638. You don't remember what your wife was
wearing that night, do you?
Copy !req
639. Carol had so many dresses.
Is it important?
Copy !req
640. Well, yes, in a way, it is.
Copy !req
641. Let's see now... ah yes, she was wearing
a blue wool dress with brass buttons...
Copy !req
642. If I'm not mistaken.
Copy !req
643. Yeah, that's what the stewardess
said.
Copy !req
644. She's back in town, by the way, and
I spoke to her and...
Copy !req
645. She told me your wife was wearing
a blue wool dress with blue kid gloves.
Copy !req
646. Well then, that's probably it.
Copy !req
647. That's funny though, if...
Copy !req
648. if she came home from the airport, what
did she do with the dress and gloves?
Copy !req
649. When we went over to your apartment
last week, we couldn't find them.
Copy !req
650. Well, they may have been stolen.
Copy !req
651. Yeah, maybe, maybe.
Copy !req
652. Did you put those on the list of
stolen items?
Copy !req
653. Really, Lieutenant, how could you expect
me to notice they were missing?
Copy !req
654. Still, it's puzzling when you
think about it.
Copy !req
655. I mean, why would a guy steal
a dress and a pair of gloves?
Copy !req
656. What are they worth?
Copy !req
657. People don't always do the rational
thing.
Copy !req
658. Oh, they sure don't.
Copy !req
659. You learn a lot about that
in my line.
Copy !req
660. Well I guess, you do in yours, too.
Copy !req
661. Oh, excuse me.
Copy !req
662. Yeah?
Copy !req
663. Miss Hudson is here, Doctor.
Copy !req
664. I'll be through in a moment.
Copy !req
665. I have a patient coming in now,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
666. Two o'clock.
Copy !req
667. Oh, that was the one who called you
at your apartment.
Copy !req
668. Oh, and you say you have a bad memory.
Copy !req
669. Well, listen.
It comes and goes, you know.
Copy !req
670. I'm sorry I couldn't have been
any help to you...
Copy !req
671. with the dress and gloves, but uh...
Copy !req
672. Maybe you just missed them
in your search.
Copy !req
673. Yeah, you're probably right, Doc.
Copy !req
674. Listen, uh...
Copy !req
675. Would you mind if I came over this
afternoon and took another look?
Copy !req
676. What time do you think
you're gonna be home?
Copy !req
677. Not before five.
Copy !req
678. Suppose I meet you there
at five-thirty.
Copy !req
679. If you think it's necessary.
Copy !req
680. Well, it's just another loose end.
You understand.
Copy !req
681. You can go in now, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
682. Oh, Miss?
Copy !req
683. Excuse me.
What was your name again?
Copy !req
684. Joan Hudson. Why?
Copy !req
685. Sorry to trouble you, Ma'am.
Copy !req
686. Who was that man out there?
Copy !req
687. Lieutenant Columbo.
He's a police officer. Why?
Copy !req
688. He wanted to know my name.
Copy !req
689. Did you tell him?
Copy !req
690. What else could I do?
Copy !req
691. Ray, is something wrong?
Copy !req
692. He was with me when you called.
Copy !req
693. I told you not to try to get in touch
with me.
Copy !req
694. I had to...
Copy !req
695. when I read that Carol was
still alive I wanted to warn you.
Copy !req
696. Well, not to worry about it.
Copy !req
697. As far as he knows, you're just another
patient on my list.
Copy !req
698. Now...
Copy !req
699. Now I am going to call the
cleaners.
Copy !req
700. You did as I told you, didn't you?
Copy !req
701. You left Carol's dress and gloves
with the rest of the laundry?
Copy !req
702. Gloves...?
Copy !req
703. Yes, dress and gloves.
Copy !req
704. Well, you know, Joan, I told you.
Copy !req
705. What is it?
Copy !req
706. I changed in the restroom
at the airport and...
Copy !req
707. put her things in my bag.
Copy !req
708. Then I went back to your apartment,
Copy !req
709. and left the dress
with the other laundry.
Copy !req
710. Go on.
Copy !req
711. But I... I forgot about the
gloves.
Copy !req
712. I didn't even think of them
until you mentioned them.
Copy !req
713. But we went over it.
How many times did I tell you?
Copy !req
714. I'm sorry.
But what difference does it make?
Copy !req
715. Is it that important?
Copy !req
716. Is it that important?
Where are the gloves now?
Copy !req
717. They're in my other bag at home.
I haven't used it since that night.
Copy !req
718. Let me think...
Copy !req
719. We're safe as far as the dress is concerned,
it's at the cleaners.
Copy !req
720. Now the gloves?
Copy !req
721. They're small, they could be easily
overlooked. They could be almost anywhere.
Copy !req
722. Listen, Columbo's coming back
to my apartment.
Copy !req
723. He wants to make another search.
Copy !req
724. You go back home, get the gloves,
and come back to my place.
Copy !req
725. I'll see you there in an hour.
Copy !req
726. Why can't I just throw them away?
Copy !req
727. Because I want him to find them.
Copy !req
728. He'll only be satisfied if all his
loose ends are in place.
Copy !req
729. But Ray...
Copy !req
730. Now, you just do as I say, darling.
Copy !req
731. Hurry!
Copy !req
732. There you are.
Copy !req
733. Did you bring them?
Copy !req
734. Good. Put them on the table.
I'll hide them in her bureau.
Copy !req
735. Columbo's going to find them
this time...
Copy !req
736. Would you like a drink?
Copy !req
737. Please.
Copy !req
738. Are you angry with me?
Copy !req
739. Not at all.
Copy !req
740. I would have to do something foolish.
Copy !req
741. I kept going over everything
in my mind.
Copy !req
742. But those stupid gloves.
Copy !req
743. Don't you worry about it.
We've protected ourselves.
Copy !req
744. I've missed you.
Copy !req
745. I'm lucky I was working... it helped
me get through the week.
Copy !req
746. It's behind us now.
Copy !req
747. What about that man... that Columbo?
Copy !req
748. You'll never see him again.
Copy !req
749. But why does he keep bothering you?
Copy !req
750. Because Carol's death has been almost
too perfect.
Copy !req
751. That's what irritates him, it's like
a speck in his eye.
Copy !req
752. He'd even look for flaws
in the Old Testament.
Copy !req
753. You don't seem to be very upset about it.
Copy !req
754. Why should I be?
Copy !req
755. Whatever he turns up I've got an
answer for him.
Copy !req
756. Eventually he'll lose interest and
start hounding someone else.
Copy !req
757. I wish I could feel that sure.
Copy !req
758. The past two weeks I've been
trying to find...
Copy !req
759. an excuse for what we've done...
I haven't been very successful.
Copy !req
760. Joan...
Copy !req
761. There was no other option.
Copy !req
762. Does that justify...?
Copy !req
763. Yes.
Copy !req
764. We're in love...
Copy !req
765. We want a future together. That's
all the justification we need.
Copy !req
766. Look, this isn't something you just
forget.
Copy !req
767. Don't let it interfere with
what we have.
Copy !req
768. I won't.
Copy !req
769. All we have to do is wait.
I promise I'll make it up to you.
Copy !req
770. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
771. Doctor, I... ah...
Copy !req
772. I just kinda thought I'd save you some
time and look for the stuff myself.
Copy !req
773. I mean, I just didn't want to
inconvenience you more that I have to.
Copy !req
774. Don't you people usually require
a search warrant?
Copy !req
775. I just didn't think
it was necessary, Doctor.
Copy !req
776. I mean, you gave me permission,
didn't you?
Copy !req
777. Say, what are you doing here, now?
Copy !req
778. It bothered me, too.
Copy !req
779. I wanted to save some time
for both of us.
Copy !req
780. There are the gloves, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
781. I found them in one of Carol's
bureau drawers.
Copy !req
782. Whaddya know about that?
We covered every inch of that bureau.
Copy !req
783. We must have missed these.
Copy !req
784. You didn't find the dress by any
chance, did you?
Copy !req
785. No, I turned the place upside down.
It's not here.
Copy !req
786. I wonder what she did with it.
Copy !req
787. I'm afraid I have no idea.
Copy !req
788. Why don't we both take another look?
Copy !req
789. Lieutenant...
Copy !req
790. It's not in the apartment. I went
through every one of the closets.
Copy !req
791. There's a laundry hamper in the
bedroom, isn't there?
Copy !req
792. But I just told you...
Copy !req
793. Well, there's no harm in checking,
is there?
Copy !req
794. Lieutenant, would you mind getting that?
I don't feel like talking to anyone.
Copy !req
795. Rodeo Cleaners.
Copy !req
796. Ah... Doctor.
Copy !req
797. How much do I owe you?
Copy !req
798. 4. 50
Copy !req
799. Keep the change.
Copy !req
800. Thank you.
Copy !req
801. Say, isn't that your wife's dress?
Copy !req
802. Of course.
Copy !req
803. She must have put it outside
for the cleaners,
Copy !req
804. when she got back from the airport.
Copy !req
805. Yes, that makes sense, it certainly
matches the description.
Copy !req
806. May I take a look?
Copy !req
807. Take a good look at it, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
808. Well, I've gotta get back to my office.
Copy !req
809. I guess we've both wasted
a lot of time.
Copy !req
810. Well, listen. I'm sorry about
all of this, Doctor.
Copy !req
811. I seem to be making a pest of myself.
Copy !req
812. Yes? Oh, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
813. It's for you.
Copy !req
814. Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
815. Columbo... yeah...
Copy !req
816. Who?
Copy !req
817. Are you sure?
Copy !req
818. Yeah, whaddya know about that.
Copy !req
819. All right.
Copy !req
820. Yes, I'll be right down, yeah.
Copy !req
821. That does it, Doc.
Copy !req
822. Does what?
Copy !req
823. We just got a confession.
Copy !req
824. A fella just admitted killing your wife.
Copy !req
825. Listen, I gotta go, ah... If I get
any more information, I'll call you!
Copy !req
826. Isn't that funny the way those things
happen...
Copy !req
827. How did you break the window, Tommy?
Copy !req
828. I had this flashlight.
I knocked it through the glass.
Copy !req
829. What happened next?
Copy !req
830. I told you.
Copy !req
831. She came out.
Copy !req
832. I didn't think she'd be home.
Copy !req
833. You mean, Mrs. Flemming.
Copy !req
834. Yeah.
Copy !req
835. She was wearin' this nightgown.
Copy !req
836. Go on.
Copy !req
837. Well, the second she saw me, she
started to yell her head off.
Copy !req
838. So I ran over to keep her quiet.
Copy !req
839. I put my hand over her mouth.
Copy !req
840. And then I... I just strangled her.
Copy !req
841. Uh-huh.
Then what happened?
Copy !req
842. Like I said, I began taking things.
Copy !req
843. The silverware, a couple of candle holders,
a couple of lighters, and the jewelry.
Copy !req
844. Did you take any money, Tommy?
Copy !req
845. Yeah. She had about 30 bucks
in her purse.
Copy !req
846. What'd you do with the stuff you
stole?
Copy !req
847. I fenced it.
Copy !req
848. Where?
Copy !req
849. Why should I get him in trouble.
Copy !req
850. What did he give you for it?
Copy !req
851. Look, Lieutenant, how many times
do we have to go over this?
Copy !req
852. I told you I killed her,
that oughtta be enough.
Copy !req
853. Tommy, why that particular apartment?
Copy !req
854. I saw them leaving with their luggage.
Copy !req
855. The initials on his bag said R. F.
Copy !req
856. So I looked at the mail boxes and
I saw Dr. Ray Flemming, penthouse.
Copy !req
857. The only name that fit the initials.
Copy !req
858. That was pretty shrewd of you.
Copy !req
859. How many jobs have you had in the
past few months?
Copy !req
860. One or two.
Copy !req
861. If I was working steady, would I be
breaking into apartments?
Copy !req
862. No, I guess you wouldn't.
Copy !req
863. All right. That's all.
You can take him out.
Copy !req
864. That was quick.
Copy !req
865. Well, you've been very cooperative,
Tommy.
Copy !req
866. What do you think, Doc?
Copy !req
867. I don't believe a word he says.
Copy !req
868. Really? Why?
Copy !req
869. He knew exactly what was stolen.
Copy !req
870. He knew how the thief got
into the apartment,
Copy !req
871. he knew what your wife
was wearing...
Copy !req
872. So does everyone who reads the
papers.
Copy !req
873. Yes, that's...
That's true, that's true.
Copy !req
874. The boy's obviously neurotic.
Copy !req
875. Some people have an urge to confess
after every murder...
Copy !req
876. I've even treated a few of them.
Copy !req
877. They have a compulsion to purge
themselves.
Copy !req
878. Maybe they just wanna get their names
in the papers.
Copy !req
879. But the boy's story
does not hold up.
Copy !req
880. You know, you might be right.
Copy !req
881. You know, come to think of it,
Copy !req
882. didn't he say that your wife was screaming
and he put his hand over her mouth.
Copy !req
883. Then he said he lowered his hands
and he strangled her.
Copy !req
884. I don't know what you're getting at.
Copy !req
885. Your wife was strangled from behind.
Copy !req
886. There were thumb indentations marks on
the back of her neck, not on the front.
Copy !req
887. Oh, and I checked one more thing, Doc.
Copy !req
888. Tommy was discharged from the Army
on a Section 8. He's mentally unstable.
Copy !req
889. If you knew that, why do you ask
what I thought?
Copy !req
890. Oh, well, I uh...
Copy !req
891. I just wanted to get another professional
opinion, Doc. I mean... no offense.
Copy !req
892. I don't have to be a psychiatrist to
know the boy's lying.
Copy !req
893. Why not?
Copy !req
894. For one thing I have no initials on
my luggage.
Copy !req
895. Oh, yeah, I was gonna check that out,
Copy !req
896. if you told me that you believed
Tommy's story.
Copy !req
897. I thought you might.
Copy !req
898. It also occurred to me that you may have
planted this whole Tommy episode.
Copy !req
899. Now, why on earth would I do
a thing like that?
Copy !req
900. Oh, that reminds me. Did you do any
fishing while you were in Acapulco?
Copy !req
901. A little. Why?
Copy !req
902. Oh, it's nothing important,
it's just that...
Copy !req
903. I'm a terrific bug on fishing.
Copy !req
904. My wife and I were looking for place
to take a vacation this summer.
Copy !req
905. You see, the trouble with places
around here is that uh...
Copy !req
906. People keep dumping all kinds of thing
off the boats. You know, bottles, cans...
Copy !req
907. It's a terrible shame, criminal.
Copy !req
908. And uh... I suppose you don't notice that
in the ocean, do ya? I mean uh...
Copy !req
909. So big, it'll just swallow everything up.
Copy !req
910. Tell me, uh...
Copy !req
911. Those trade journals and
medical books.
Copy !req
912. Did you take them with you when you
went fishing?
Copy !req
913. Lieutenant, for the past week
you've been asking me...
Copy !req
914. some rather pointless questions.
Copy !req
915. I'm getting very tired of them.
Copy !req
916. I'm sorry, Doc.
Copy !req
917. I just thought a boat's a good place
to get some reading done.
Copy !req
918. What do my reading habits have to
do with this?
Copy !req
919. You've been concentrating on
everything...
Copy !req
920. but the man who broke into
my apartment.
Copy !req
921. Is this some new type of police
procedure?
Copy !req
922. I'm only uh...
Copy !req
923. I want the man who murdered my wife.
Everything else is irrelevant.
Copy !req
924. I'm only trying to...
Copy !req
925. I know. You're only trying to tie up
loose ends.
Copy !req
926. Well, if you spent a little less time on
loose ends,
Copy !req
927. maybe you'd come up with
something important.
Copy !req
928. You know...
Copy !req
929. Sometimes I get the impression
you think I killed my wife.
Copy !req
930. You? Oh, no, Doc.
Copy !req
931. How could you?
You were out of town.
Copy !req
932. I'm glad you remembered that.
Copy !req
933. Unless you think I hired someone to
kill her.
Copy !req
934. The boy who confessed.
Maybe I paid him to do it.
Copy !req
935. No, Doc, you didn't do that.
Copy !req
936. How do you know?
Copy !req
937. I already asked him.
Copy !req
938. Are you serious?
Copy !req
939. I am.
Copy !req
940. He's making an absolute pest of
himself.
Copy !req
941. Telephone calls, question and
answer sessions...
Copy !req
942. He's even bothering me at the office.
It's getting ridiculous.
Copy !req
943. He's probably trying too hard.
I'll have a word with him.
Copy !req
944. A word won't do it.
Copy !req
945. Burt, you won't believe this,
but somewhere in the back of his mind,
Copy !req
946. he thinks I'm involved with
Carol's murder.
Copy !req
947. You?
You've got to be kidding.
Copy !req
948. I'm not, and neither is Columbo.
Copy !req
949. Look, is there some way you can
get him off my back?
Copy !req
950. Well, if he's pushing that hard.
Copy !req
951. He is.
Copy !req
952. I guess I can pull a few strings.
Copy !req
953. All right, consider it done.
Copy !req
954. Well, that was painless.
Copy !req
955. Looks like I owe you a favor.
Copy !req
956. Forget it.
What are friends for?
Copy !req
957. Evening, Doctor.
Copy !req
958. I just stopped by with some news.
Copy !req
959. I thought you might be interested...
Copy !req
960. I got taken off the case today.
I'm no longer workin' on it.
Copy !req
961. Oh...
Copy !req
962. It happened all of a sudden, too.
Copy !req
963. I was sitting at my desk and a call
came down from upstairs.
Copy !req
964. And they told me that they wanted me
to work on something else. Real strange.
Copy !req
965. And they told me to turn my files
over to Lieutenant Silver,
Copy !req
966. who's a very nice guy,
but he's young and...
Copy !req
967. not experienced in this kinda thing.
Copy !req
968. That's funny...
Copy !req
969. Here I thought I was doing
a good job.
Copy !req
970. How unfortunate for you, but I
suppose they know what they're doing.
Copy !req
971. You'll have to excuse me.
I've got a dinner engagement.
Copy !req
972. Where, at the Gordons?
Copy !req
973. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
974. Well, you're a good friend of
Mr. Gordon, aren't you?
Copy !req
975. I mean, uh...
Copy !req
976. Last week at the hospital, he
invited you over. You remember that?
Copy !req
977. No, it isn't the Gordons.
Copy !req
978. No? A lady friend, maybe?
Copy !req
979. I don't think it's any of your
business.
Copy !req
980. No, I guess not.
Copy !req
981. I was wondering, Doctor...
Copy !req
982. Would you take me on as a patient.
Copy !req
983. Take you on as a what?
Copy !req
984. You know, I mean it. Maybe you can
help me.
Copy !req
985. I don't know, there must be
something wrong with me.
Copy !req
986. I seem to bother people, I seem to
make them nervous.
Copy !req
987. Maybe you could tell me why.
Copy !req
988. Are you serious?
Copy !req
989. I'm very very serious.
Copy !req
990. I've never been more serious
in my life.
Copy !req
991. My wife says I ought to have it
looked into.
Copy !req
992. So I told her I know this a psychiatrist,
and uh...
Copy !req
993. I figure if I came here,
like once a week,
Copy !req
994. maybe we could get it ironed out.
Copy !req
995. You know what I think
the problem is...
Copy !req
996. I think I'm too suspicious.
Copy !req
997. I don't trust people, that's my
trouble...
Copy !req
998. For instance,
when I get taken off a case,
Copy !req
999. right away I figure somebody
put the pressure on...
Copy !req
1000. right way, I ask myself why.
Copy !req
1001. What do you think, Doc?
Copy !req
1002. I think you'd better get out of
here.
Copy !req
1003. Beg your pardon?
Copy !req
1004. Columbo, you're a public servant.
You say you've been taken off the case? Fine.
Copy !req
1005. Bother me again, and I shall have to
talk to your superiors.
Copy !req
1006. You've been talking to a lot of people
these days, Doctor.
Copy !req
1007. Columbo, you're magnificent.
You really are.
Copy !req
1008. What makes you say that, Doc?
Copy !req
1009. You are the most persistent
creature I've ever met.
Copy !req
1010. But likeable.
Copy !req
1011. The astonishing thing is
you're likeable.
Copy !req
1012. Has anyone ever told you
you're droll?
Copy !req
1013. Me?
Copy !req
1014. Yes, you.
Copy !req
1015. Oh, come on, Doc... Come on.
Copy !req
1016. Oh, but you are.
You're a sly little elf.
Copy !req
1017. You should be sitting under
your own private little toadstool.
Copy !req
1018. You say you've been thrown off
the case,
Copy !req
1019. and yet you have the flagrant
audacity...
Copy !req
1020. to come back here and
bother me again.
Copy !req
1021. I respect that.
Copy !req
1022. It irritates me, but I respect it.
Copy !req
1023. How about a drink?
Copy !req
1024. Well... all right.
Copy !req
1025. Hey, that's pretty clever.
Copy !req
1026. You can always have a snort
between patients.
Copy !req
1027. I haven't given you a Rorschach
test yet,
Copy !req
1028. but I've got a hunch you're a
bourbon man.
Copy !req
1029. Thank you very much, Doctor.
Copy !req
1030. What do we drink to?
Copy !req
1031. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
1032. How about you and me?
Copy !req
1033. Fine.
Copy !req
1034. You like to read huh Doctor?
Copy !req
1035. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
1036. You read murder mysteries?
Copy !req
1037. Not very often.
Copy !req
1038. Me, I love'em.
I find'em nice and relaxing.
Copy !req
1039. Now, the only trouble is that they got
nothing to do with real life.
Copy !req
1040. I mean, the guy who did it, they
catch him every time.
Copy !req
1041. You and I know that uh...
Copy !req
1042. It doesn't always work out
that way.
Copy !req
1043. You never stop, do you?
Copy !req
1044. What?
Copy !req
1045. The insinuations, the change of
pace.
Copy !req
1046. You're a bag of tricks, Columbo.
Copy !req
1047. Right down to that prop cigar
you use.
Copy !req
1048. Oh... come on Doc.
Copy !req
1049. I'm going to tell you something
about yourself.
Copy !req
1050. You say you need a psychiatrist.
Maybe you do and maybe you don't.
Copy !req
1051. But you are the a textbook example of
compensation.
Copy !req
1052. Of what, Doc?
Copy !req
1053. Compensation. Adaptability.
Copy !req
1054. You're an intelligent man, Columbo,
but you hide it.
Copy !req
1055. You pretend you're something
you're not. Why?
Copy !req
1056. Because of your appearance.
Copy !req
1057. You think you cannot get by
on looks or polish,
Copy !req
1058. So you turn that defect into a virtue.
Copy !req
1059. You take people by surprise.
Copy !req
1060. They underestimate you and that's
where you trip them up.
Copy !req
1061. Like coming here tonight.
Copy !req
1062. Boy, you've got me pegged pretty
good, Doctor.
Copy !req
1063. I'm gonna have to watch myself with you,
because...
Copy !req
1064. You figure out people
pretty good.
Copy !req
1065. Now you're trying flattery.
Copy !req
1066. No, really. I'm serious, Doctor.
You've got a gift.
Copy !req
1067. I know it's your job and I know
you've studied for years...
Copy !req
1068. But still it's... well,
it's amazing that...
Copy !req
1069. a person'll come in here and sit down
and in a couple hours,
Copy !req
1070. you know all about him.
Copy !req
1071. Oh, not quite.
Copy !req
1072. Psychiatry isn't a parlor trick.
Copy !req
1073. Oh, I didn't mean that. No.
I was just wondering... that ah...
Copy !req
1074. Well, no, I guess that is
impossible.
Copy !req
1075. What is it?
Copy !req
1076. Well, I know it's easy enough to
figure out a patient.
Copy !req
1077. Or a guy like me who's always hanging
around all the time.
Copy !req
1078. But what about a stranger,
what about...
Copy !req
1079. a fella that you never
met before?
Copy !req
1080. Can you tell what makes him tick?
Copy !req
1081. Any particular one in mind?
Copy !req
1082. No, nobody special.
Just a type.
Copy !req
1083. Like a murderer, for instance?
Copy !req
1084. Well, yeah, now that you mention it.
Copy !req
1085. I guess we're on the same wave
length.
Copy !req
1086. Yes, I guess we are.
Copy !req
1087. What about this hypothetical
murderer?
Copy !req
1088. Well, I'm not talking about your
average hothead.
Copy !req
1089. You know, the guy who pops somebody
with a nogging, with a bottle.
Copy !req
1090. What I mean is a, uh...
Copy !req
1091. kind of man that figures
everything out in advance,
Copy !req
1092. Who takes everything step by step.
Copy !req
1093. What do you know about that kind
of man, Doctor?
Copy !req
1094. I should charge you for this.
Copy !req
1095. But since it's on a theoretical basis,
let's just call it...
Copy !req
1096. a free consultation...
Copy !req
1097. All right.
Copy !req
1098. We are talking about a man
who commits a crime...
Copy !req
1099. not the garden variety of
bar room brawl...
Copy !req
1100. but an elaborate intellectual
project.
Copy !req
1101. What do we know about this man?
Copy !req
1102. Obviously, he's not impulsive.
Copy !req
1103. He plans, he calculates,
he minimizes risks.
Copy !req
1104. He's oriented by his mind, not by his
emotions.
Copy !req
1105. And he's probably well educated,
too.
Copy !req
1106. Like, maybe, a professional man?
Copy !req
1107. Like maybe.
Copy !req
1108. At any rate... an orderly man,
with an eye for detail.
Copy !req
1109. And courage.
Copy !req
1110. Courage?
Copy !req
1111. Certainly.
Copy !req
1112. To go through a thing like this...
whatever it maybe...
Copy !req
1113. It takes a strong nervous system.
Copy !req
1114. Well, you could be right.
Copy !req
1115. But one thing bothers me, Doctor.
Copy !req
1116. This man that we're talking about
has taken a human life.
Copy !req
1117. Wouldn't you say that he was insane?
Copy !req
1118. Why? Because he committed
an immoral act?
Copy !req
1119. Morals are conditioned, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1120. They're relative, like everything
else is today.
Copy !req
1121. Our murderer may be as sane as
you and me.
Copy !req
1122. Killing may be repugnant to him.
Copy !req
1123. But if it's his only solution,
he uses it.
Copy !req
1124. That's pragmatism my friend,
not insanity.
Copy !req
1125. Tell me, Doctor.
Copy !req
1126. How do you catch a man like that?
Copy !req
1127. You don't.
Copy !req
1128. You're probably right.
Copy !req
1129. He sounds just too clever for us.
Copy !req
1130. What I mean is, you know, cops,
we're not the brightest guys in the world.
Copy !req
1131. Of course, we got one thing going
for us... we're professionals.
Copy !req
1132. I mean, you take our friend here,
the murderer.
Copy !req
1133. He's very smart, but he's an amateur.
Copy !req
1134. I mean he's got just one time to learn,
just one.
Copy !req
1135. With us... well, it's a business.
Copy !req
1136. You see, we do this a hundred
times a year.
Copy !req
1137. I tell you Doc, that's a lot of
practice.
Copy !req
1138. It didn it help you very much,
didn't it?
Copy !req
1139. I mean with all that experience,
you jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Copy !req
1140. What do you mean?
Copy !req
1141. I didn't kill my wife.
Copy !req
1142. I never said you did.
Copy !req
1143. Oh, that's true.
Copy !req
1144. Imply, imply is more the word.
Copy !req
1145. But if I killed my wife...
Copy !req
1146. And I did say if...
Copy !req
1147. You're never going to
be able to prove it.
Copy !req
1148. So why don't we just part as friends?
Copy !req
1149. You go on to something new,
Copy !req
1150. and I'll forget this whole thing
ever happened.
Copy !req
1151. As a matter of fact, there's no reason
for us to see each other again.
Copy !req
1152. Well I have to be going now.
Copy !req
1153. I'll go out with you.
Copy !req
1154. Oh, no, no, no. You just stay here.
Relax. Search the office.
Copy !req
1155. And if you want another
drink, help yourself.
Copy !req
1156. Good night.
Copy !req
1157. Oh, by the way, when you leave,
turn out the light.
Copy !req
1158. Miss Hudson...
Copy !req
1159. Who are you?
Copy !req
1160. Lieutenant Columbo, ma'am.
police.
Copy !req
1161. Ah, we met the other day, remember?
Copy !req
1162. What's this all about?
Copy !req
1163. Is there some place where we could go,
where we could talk?
Copy !req
1164. Why?
Copy !req
1165. Just a few routine questions.
That's all.
Copy !req
1166. Would you like some ice cream?
Copy !req
1167. No, thanks... Questions about what?
Copy !req
1168. Ah, could we go in there?
Copy !req
1169. This is quite a place.
Copy !req
1170. Lieutenant, would you mind
telling me why you're here?
Copy !req
1171. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
1172. I was hoping you might help us
with a case we're working on.
Copy !req
1173. What case is that?
Copy !req
1174. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
1175. The Flemming case.
Copy !req
1176. You mean Dr. Flemming, my psychiatrist?
Copy !req
1177. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
1178. Is he in some kind of trouble?
Copy !req
1179. What was that?
Copy !req
1180. I said, is he in some kind of
trouble?
Copy !req
1181. Well, you might say yes.
Copy !req
1182. Sit down, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
1183. There's no rule about smoking
here, is there?
Copy !req
1184. No.
Copy !req
1185. Well then, if you don't mind,
I'll light up.
Copy !req
1186. See, a lot of women,
they don't like cigars.
Copy !req
1187. My wife, she prefers a pipe.
Copy !req
1188. I could never get used to those things.
Copy !req
1189. There's just too much to carry around
with you.
Copy !req
1190. How long have you known
Dr. Flemming?
Copy !req
1191. You mean how long has he been
treating me?
Copy !req
1192. Well, that's the same thing, isn't
it?
Copy !req
1193. I've been seeing him for about a
year.
Copy !req
1194. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
1195. That checks out.
Copy !req
1196. By the way, when was the last time
you spoke to Dr. Flemming?
Copy !req
1197. Last week. When I met you.
Copy !req
1198. Oh, that's right, yes.
Copy !req
1199. Lieutenant, would you mind
explaining...
Copy !req
1200. Are you working here in a movie
now?
Copy !req
1201. That's right.
Copy !req
1202. Well, I'm gonna have to see it
when it comes out.
Copy !req
1203. What are you... Are you playing
a Roman girl or a Greek girl?
Copy !req
1204. Do you do your own makeup?
Copy !req
1205. What has this got to do with Dr. Flemming?
Copy !req
1206. Pardon me?
Copy !req
1207. Lieutenant, you're not being very
clear.
Copy !req
1208. You came here to ask me about a man
I hardly know.
Copy !req
1209. You said he was in trouble.
Copy !req
1210. Now before we go on, suppose you
tell me what kind of trouble.
Copy !req
1211. Well... I know this is gonna come as
a shock to you.
Copy !req
1212. But we think that he killed his
wife.
Copy !req
1213. You seem stunned.
Copy !req
1214. Of course I'm stunned.
I don't believe it.
Copy !req
1215. No?
Copy !req
1216. Yeah, I wonder who these belong to?
Copy !req
1217. Maybe somebody left them by mistake.
Copy !req
1218. Miss Hudson...
Copy !req
1219. You seem nervous.
Copy !req
1220. Haven't you seen a pair of sunglasses
before?
Copy !req
1221. Would you like to try them on?
Copy !req
1222. Why should I?
Copy !req
1223. No reason. But there's no reason
why you shouldn't either.
Copy !req
1224. Is there?
Copy !req
1225. I think I'd better go.
Copy !req
1226. Sit down, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
1227. If you insist on questioning me,
I'm going to have to call my lawyer.
Copy !req
1228. Sit down!
Copy !req
1229. You can't stop me from calling my
lawyer!
Copy !req
1230. You have no right to order me around,
you're not even on this case any more!
Copy !req
1231. How did you know that?
Copy !req
1232. Dr. Flemming told me.
Copy !req
1233. But you said you haven't seen Dr.
Flemming since last week.
Copy !req
1234. He called me.
Copy !req
1235. Oh? Is the doctor in the habit of
doing that?
Copy !req
1236. I'm not going to answer any more of
your questions.
Copy !req
1237. Just one more point, Miss Hudson,
that I'd like to clear up.
Copy !req
1238. I am on the case.
Copy !req
1239. It's true somebody tried to pull
a few strings.
Copy !req
1240. But my superior, he doesn't like that.
He gets thinking.
Copy !req
1241. So he said to me, he said...
Copy !req
1242. Lieutenant Columbo, you must be
touching a sore spot.
Copy !req
1243. So you just keep right on trying.
Copy !req
1244. He's very intelligent, my superior.
Copy !req
1245. I want to call my lawyer.
Copy !req
1246. I don't understand that.
Copy !req
1247. Dr. Flemming killed his wife
and you wanna call your lawyer,
Copy !req
1248. Would you explain that to me,
Miss Hudson?
Copy !req
1249. I want to call my lawyer.
Copy !req
1250. All right.
Copy !req
1251. Go ahead.
Copy !req
1252. If he wants to know
what the charge is...
Copy !req
1253. it's accessory to murder.
Copy !req
1254. Go ahead and make your call,
Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
1255. When you get done we'll take a
drive.
Copy !req
1256. Drive?
Copy !req
1257. Yes, we're gonna go see the
stewardess.
Copy !req
1258. I don't have the blue dress
and I don't have the gloves.
Copy !req
1259. I don't think, you're going to try on
these sunglasses.
Copy !req
1260. But maybe she'll remember you any
how, wig or no wig.
Copy !req
1261. I don't know what you're
talking about.
Copy !req
1262. You're trying to confuse me.
Copy !req
1263. I've nothing to do with this.
Copy !req
1264. With what?
Copy !req
1265. With this... with the thing
you said about Ray.
Copy !req
1266. Ray?
Copy !req
1267. Dr. Flemming!
Copy !req
1268. But you just called him "Ray."
Copy !req
1269. What difference does that make?
I know him, he's my doctor.
Copy !req
1270. Your lover?
Copy !req
1271. My doctor!
Copy !req
1272. And you said you never met his wife?
Copy !req
1273. No, I never met his wife!
Copy !req
1274. Would you like to see some
pictures of her.
Copy !req
1275. I had them taken at the morgue.
They're in my briefcase.
Copy !req
1276. No!
Copy !req
1277. Why should you?
Copy !req
1278. After all, you saw the real thing.
That must have been quite a shock.
Copy !req
1279. Why don't you leave me alone?
I didn't do anything.
Copy !req
1280. No?
Copy !req
1281. What about these?
What about the sunglasses?
Copy !req
1282. What about the overweight luggage?
Copy !req
1283. What about the argument on the
plane?
Copy !req
1284. I don't wanna listen to
any of this!
Copy !req
1285. Now, you were there when he
strangled her, weren't you?
Copy !req
1286. No!
Copy !req
1287. Well, does that mean
that you came later?
Copy !req
1288. I was never there at all.
Copy !req
1289. I think you were.
Copy !req
1290. I think you probably changed into
her dress while she was lying there.
Copy !req
1291. Then you and the Doctor went to the
airport and...
Copy !req
1292. had that fake argument on the plane.
Didn't you?
Copy !req
1293. Didn't you.
Didn't you help plan it with him,
Copy !req
1294. Didn't you help carry it out
with him? Now didn't you?
Copy !req
1295. Stop it!
Copy !req
1296. Without you that woman would be alive.
Copy !req
1297. Without you she wouldn't be lying
in the morgue.
Copy !req
1298. Stop it!
Copy !req
1299. Why don't we go downtown,
and you can make a statement.
Copy !req
1300. No!
Copy !req
1301. You have no right!
Copy !req
1302. I have nothing to do with this.
Do you understand?
Copy !req
1303. Nothing.
Copy !req
1304. Nothing at all...
Copy !req
1305. If you want to take me to the
stewardess, then take me.
Copy !req
1306. If you want to arrest me, go ahead.
Copy !req
1307. But you can't prove anything.
Copy !req
1308. Now either charge me or let me leave.
Copy !req
1309. I don't care what you do.
Copy !req
1310. You can go.
Copy !req
1311. Miss Hudson...
Copy !req
1312. I hope you understand this is only
the beginning...
Copy !req
1313. In a way, I feel sorry for you.
Copy !req
1314. Because from now on I'm gonna do
everything I can to break you down.
Copy !req
1315. Do you understand?
Copy !req
1316. Dr. Flemming made one mistake and
you're it.
Copy !req
1317. You're the weak link, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
1318. You surprised me today, because
you were strong.
Copy !req
1319. But there's always tomorrow.
Copy !req
1320. And the day after that.
Copy !req
1321. And the day after that.
Copy !req
1322. Sooner or later you're gonna talk
to me.
Copy !req
1323. Until you do you're gonna be
questioned.
Copy !req
1324. You're gonna be followed,
you're gonna be hounded.
Copy !req
1325. Dr. Flemming can't do anything
about it.
Copy !req
1326. You're on your own, Miss Hudson.
Copy !req
1327. And I'm going to get to him
through you... that's a promise.
Copy !req
1328. Ray, thank heavens.
I've been calling for hours.
Copy !req
1329. What's wrong?
You sound upset.
Copy !req
1330. Columbo came to see me
at the studio today.
Copy !req
1331. Columbo?
Copy !req
1332. He tried to break me down.
Copy !req
1333. Did you tell him anything?
Copy !req
1334. No, of course not.
Copy !req
1335. But he knows. Every detail.
Even the alibi on the plane.
Copy !req
1336. He's only guessing.
And guesses are no proof.
Copy !req
1337. Why should he be questioning you?
He's off the case.
Copy !req
1338. No he's not, he's right in the
middle of it.
Copy !req
1339. Two of his men are parked outside
right now.
Copy !req
1340. I think we'd better have a talk.
Copy !req
1341. Come in tomorrow for your
appointment.
Copy !req
1342. We'll figure something out.
Copy !req
1343. Can't you come over here now?
Copy !req
1344. With his men watching your house?
Joan, use your head.
Copy !req
1345. But you're my doctor.
Copy !req
1346. There's nothing wrong in visiting
a patient.
Copy !req
1347. He obviously expects us to get
together tonight.
Copy !req
1348. Let's not be predictable.
Copy !req
1349. What are we going to do?
Copy !req
1350. Just ride it out.
Copy !req
1351. You're his last resort.
If you don't panic we're home free.
Copy !req
1352. Ray, I have to see you.
Copy !req
1353. You will. In the morning.
Copy !req
1354. Now put on some music and have
yourself a drink.
Copy !req
1355. And stop worrying.
Copy !req
1356. Ray...
Copy !req
1357. Yes...
Copy !req
1358. All right, I'll try.
Copy !req
1359. Miss Petrie?
Copy !req
1360. Doesn't Miss Hudson have a ten
o'clock appointment?
Copy !req
1361. Yes, she does.
Copy !req
1362. It's ten-thirty.
Why don't you give her a call?
Copy !req
1363. Hello? Is Miss Hudson...
Copy !req
1364. Well, no, I...
Copy !req
1365. This is the receptionist in
Dr. Flemming's office...
Copy !req
1366. Well, she had an appointment here
this morning...
Copy !req
1367. I see.
Copy !req
1368. I just called Miss Hudson,
and a man answered.
Copy !req
1369. He said he was from the coroner's
office.
Copy !req
1370. Try it again.
Maybe you got the wrong number.
Copy !req
1371. This is Dr. Flemming's office
again. Is Miss Hudson there?
Copy !req
1372. You don't understand.
Copy !req
1373. Dr. Flemming is her psychiatrist.
Copy !req
1374. Well, I'm only trying to get some
information.
Copy !req
1375. Let me have that!
Copy !req
1376. Hello, this is Dr. Flemming.
Who are you?
Copy !req
1377. Miss Hudson is under my care.
Copy !req
1378. I want to know what happened?
Copy !req
1379. Look, I am her psychiatrist!
Copy !req
1380. What kind of accident?
Copy !req
1381. Well, who do I call to find out?
Copy !req
1382. Can't you get it through your head...
Copy !req
1383. Never mind!
Copy !req
1384. Miss Petrie, I'm going out for a while.
Copy !req
1385. Tell my next patient I'll be late.
Copy !req
1386. Where is she?
Copy !req
1387. I said... where is she?
Copy !req
1388. She stuffed herself with
barbiturates...
Copy !req
1389. I didn't think...
Copy !req
1390. What didn't you think?
Copy !req
1391. You didn't think what?
Copy !req
1392. I questioned her yesterday...
I guess I pushed her too far.
Copy !req
1393. I told her that I...
I was gonna get to you through her.
Copy !req
1394. You had to bring her into this,
didn't you?
Copy !req
1395. Didn't you know what she'd do?
Or didn't you care?
Copy !req
1396. Don't lecture me, Doctor!
Copy !req
1397. I'm responsible!
And I'm gonna have to live with it.
Copy !req
1398. But you're leaving somebody out.
Copy !req
1399. We both killed that girl, the two
of us together!
Copy !req
1400. She committed suicide for one
reason... to protect you!
Copy !req
1401. You see it was all for you,
for you, Doc.
Copy !req
1402. By the way, congratulations.
Copy !req
1403. I mean, you're home free now aren't you?
Copy !req
1404. Boy, it couldn't have worked
out better.
Copy !req
1405. She was the only one who could have
given you away.
Copy !req
1406. I can't touch you any more, Doc.
Nobody can. You're free and clear.
Copy !req
1407. You won, Doc.
Copy !req
1408. The only trouble is you didn't get
what you were going after.
Copy !req
1409. What is that supposed to mean?
Copy !req
1410. The girl.
Copy !req
1411. You loved her and you wanted her,
and you were willing to murder for her.
Copy !req
1412. And now she's gone.
All that planning, all that sweat...
Copy !req
1413. And you wind up with nothing.
Copy !req
1414. What're you trying to tell me?
Copy !req
1415. I'm not trying to tell you anything,
Doctor. I was just thinking that uh...
Copy !req
1416. You're going to be a terribly lonely
man from here on in...
Copy !req
1417. And maybe you'd feel better
if you got a few things off your chest.
Copy !req
1418. Like what?
Copy !req
1419. Like the truth.
Copy !req
1420. Are you asking me to confess?
Copy !req
1421. Well, is that so strange?
Copy !req
1422. After all, what do you have to
look forward to?
Copy !req
1423. Think about that, Doc.
Copy !req
1424. The girl isn't around any more... and
who knows? Maybe you owe her something.
Copy !req
1425. What do you say, Doc?
Copy !req
1426. You're a very funny man.
Copy !req
1427. I wasn't trying to be funny.
Copy !req
1428. But you are... more than you know.
Copy !req
1429. So you want me to purge myself.
Copy !req
1430. My one-and-only love is dead and
I have nothing more to live for.
Copy !req
1431. Is that it?
Copy !req
1432. All I'm saying is that if you loved
that girl...
Copy !req
1433. Loved that girl?
Copy !req
1434. Look Columbo, I overestimated you.
Copy !req
1435. I thought you understood about
human nature.
Copy !req
1436. I never loved that girl.
Copy !req
1437. Come on, Doc.
Copy !req
1438. No, really...
Copy !req
1439. Remember that hypothetical
murderer we were talking about?
Copy !req
1440. He needed an alibi.
Copy !req
1441. The girl was available so he used her.
It was as simple as that.
Copy !req
1442. No.
Copy !req
1443. You killed your wife
because you were in love with the girl.
Copy !req
1444. If I killed Carol... and there's no
proof that I did... I did it for myself.
Copy !req
1445. Not for some dime-a-dozen little
actress.
Copy !req
1446. She helped you with the murder.
You would've had to marry her.
Copy !req
1447. Not really. Something would have
been arranged.
