1. I took the liberty of
bringing along the drug.
Copy !req
2. It's frightening, Mark.
Copy !req
3. What choice do we have?
Copy !req
4. The longer the Lieutenant
digs into this,
the greater the risk.
Copy !req
5. I've seen a lot of pictures
of people jumping off
of buildings.
Copy !req
6. I never saw one naked.
Copy !req
7. I know my wife, Doctor...
Copy !req
8. and the trash
she's attracted to.
Copy !req
9. You might be surprised.
Copy !req
10. You're just gonna have
to ask Dr. Collier.
Copy !req
11. No, I'm asking you.
Copy !req
12. I'm asking you
about a murder.
Copy !req
13. He was my dog...
Copy !req
14. my dog...
Copy !req
15. not hers.
Copy !req
16. I found him...
Copy !req
17. he didn't like
Margaret at all...
Copy !req
18. not really.
Copy !req
19. She said she fed him...
Copy !req
20. she lied.
Copy !req
21. She said...
Copy !req
22. she took care of him...
Copy !req
23. but she didn't.
Copy !req
24. I did.
Copy !req
25. Daddy...
Copy !req
26. Daddy...
Copy !req
27. Daddy.
Copy !req
28. What about your Daddy?
Copy !req
29. Daddy knew about...
Copy !req
30. Margaret.
Copy !req
31. How she really was.
Copy !req
32. I told him.
Copy !req
33. Why did you
tell him?
Copy !req
34. So...
Copy !req
35. he would love me.
Copy !req
36. So he wouldn't love her.
Copy !req
37. I could swim...
Copy !req
38. and dive...
Copy !req
39. from the highest board.
Copy !req
40. Margaret couldn't.
Copy !req
41. Daddy used to watch me...
Copy !req
42. watch me swim...
Copy !req
43. and watch me dive.
Copy !req
44. He'd watch you dive?
Copy !req
45. Yeah.
Copy !req
46. Just me...
Copy !req
47. only me.
Copy !req
48. Margaret...
Copy !req
49. Margaret was
afraid of water.
Copy !req
50. Well...
Copy !req
51. I didn't want Daddy
watching her.
Copy !req
52. We had a pool...
Copy !req
53. a beautiful pool.
Copy !req
54. Margaret hated it.
Copy !req
55. Why?
Copy !req
56. She couldn't swim.
Copy !req
57. Did she dive
into the pool?
Copy !req
58. Nadia?
Copy !req
59. Sweet Walter...
Copy !req
60. my dog. My dog.
Copy !req
61. All right...
Copy !req
62. come forward...
Copy !req
63. 1957...
Copy !req
64. 1967.
Copy !req
65. Sleep easy.
Copy !req
66. Easy.
Copy !req
67. Everything is all right.
Copy !req
68. It's the present...
Copy !req
69. Wednesday.
Copy !req
70. You're coming awake.
Copy !req
71. On the count of three...
Copy !req
72. you will awaken...
Copy !req
73. very refreshed...
Copy !req
74. feeling happy...
Copy !req
75. very satisfied.
Copy !req
76. One...
Copy !req
77. two...
Copy !req
78. three.
Copy !req
79. That must have been
a short one.
Copy !req
80. About the same.
Copy !req
81. Same roadblock?
Copy !req
82. I want you to stay
here a while...
Copy !req
83. till the effects wear off.
Copy !req
84. I've seen so little of you.
Copy !req
85. Carl's going
out of town today...
Copy !req
86. San Francisco.
Copy !req
87. I thought the beach house...
Copy !req
88. No one's around.
Copy !req
89. I'd like to— Mark, please.
Copy !req
90. You know how much
I need you.
Copy !req
91. All right.
Copy !req
92. But you stay here
for a while...
Copy !req
93. and I'll see you later.
Copy !req
94. Rest.
Copy !req
95. Dr. Collier, I thought
perhaps you ought to know...
Copy !req
96. that we're missing some drugs
from the research lab.
Copy !req
97. Several hundred units of
amobarbital and zilothin.
Copy !req
98. I suggest you
double-check
the inventory.
Copy !req
99. I'm sure
there's a mistake.
Copy !req
100. I wonder if you've
been using any
for your own work.
Copy !req
101. What?
Copy !req
102. Mark, I know the book
isn't going terribly well...
Copy !req
103. but using drugs
to deepen Mrs. Donner's
hypnotic state...
Copy !req
104. is at best
a dangerous shortcut.
Copy !req
105. Anita, don't
second-guess me
on my methods.
Copy !req
106. Hey, you're too good
a doctor.
You don't need it.
Copy !req
107. Besides, she's so utterly
dependent on you.
Copy !req
108. I'll tell you
what I do need.
Copy !req
109. I need those results
on your experiments
with the rats.
Copy !req
110. I gave you my results,
and you rejected them.
Copy !req
111. Because they weren't
properly controlled.
Copy !req
112. Look, I've got a publisher
hovering over my shoulder
like a ravenous vulture—
Copy !req
113. And, I'm not going to fake
lab results just to get
your book into print.
Copy !req
114. I'm not suggesting
you fake anything.
Copy !req
115. I do suggest, however...
Copy !req
116. you show
a little bit more imagination
and a lot more diligence.
Copy !req
117. Diligence?
Copy !req
118. Hi, darling. Mark, please, don't.
Copy !req
119. Yes, yes,
do come in, Doctor.
Copy !req
120. I'm sorry.
He wouldn't let me call you.
Copy !req
121. Of course.
Copy !req
122. It would spoil the fun.
Copy !req
123. Well, what will it be?
Copy !req
124. Pistols at ten paces?
Copy !req
125. Swords? Who gets
the choice of weapons?
Copy !req
126. Very amusing.
Copy !req
127. Never at a loss for words.
Copy !req
128. What do you want?
A confession, that
your wife and I are lovers?
Copy !req
129. That's self-evident,
but you say it
with such pride.
Copy !req
130. Perhaps she hasn't
told you yet.
Copy !req
131. You're not the first,
you know...
Copy !req
132. or even the second...
Copy !req
133. or, even the fifth.
Copy !req
134. Must you, please?
Copy !req
135. I must.
Copy !req
136. Yes, of course,
he must.
Copy !req
137. You forget, Carl,
after seven months with Nadia,
I know everything about her...
Copy !req
138. and you.
Copy !req
139. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Copy !req
140. at this point you usually
step aside,
knowing full well that...
Copy !req
141. the lover at the moment is
not about to accept
the responsibility for Nadia.
Copy !req
142. I know my wife, Doctor...
Copy !req
143. and the trash
she's attracted to.
Copy !req
144. You might be surprised.
Copy !req
145. Nadia, get your coat.
Copy !req
146. You walk out of that door,
Collier, with my wife...
Copy !req
147. I'll ruin you.
Copy !req
148. I'll go to the university,
tell them about the drugs
you're using...
Copy !req
149. about the carnal relations
you had with a patient,
my wife.
Copy !req
150. What is it,
the book?
Copy !req
151. Yes, of course...
Copy !req
152. without her,
there's no book.
Copy !req
153. Carl!
Copy !req
154. No, Carl!
Copy !req
155. He's dead.
Copy !req
156. Don't look at him,
don't look at him,
don't look at him.
Copy !req
157. I'm here. I'm here.
I'm gonna help you.
Copy !req
158. Come over here,
come over here.
Copy !req
159. I want you to sit down
over here, sit down.
Copy !req
160. Don't look around.
Copy !req
161. All right.
Copy !req
162. All right.
Copy !req
163. Now, we're going to
have to call the police.
Copy !req
164. Now, what are we
going to tell them?
Copy !req
165. We tell them that...
Copy !req
166. Carl tried to stop me
from taking his wife.
Copy !req
167. Yeah, but no jury'd ever
believe that.
Copy !req
168. No, we're going to
have to come up
with a different story.
Copy !req
169. Did anybody see you leave
the apartment, at all?
Copy !req
170. Now think,
Nadia, think.
Copy !req
171. Anybody?
Copy !req
172. The doorman.
Copy !req
173. The doorman.
Copy !req
174. Nobody else?
Copy !req
175. Sure?
Copy !req
176. No. Positive. Good, good.
Copy !req
177. You came here with Carl...
Copy !req
178. just the two of you,
to be alone. It was 5:30.
Copy !req
179. 7:00, two men
came to the door...
Copy !req
180. they forced
their way in.
Copy !req
181. They wanted...
Copy !req
182. They wanted jewelry.
Copy !req
183. They wanted jewelry
and money.
Copy !req
184. Carl...
Copy !req
185. Carl wouldn't...
Copy !req
186. Carl wouldn't let them in,
he resisted them.
Copy !req
187. You tried to warn him...
Copy !req
188. but, he wouldn't listen,
his temper. You got that?
Copy !req
189. I'm scared. I'm scared.
Copy !req
190. Of course.
Of course, you're scared.
Copy !req
191. Two men killed your husband.
It's perfect, that's perfect.
Copy !req
192. Nadia. Nadia.
Copy !req
193. Nadia...
Copy !req
194. we're going to beat them.
Copy !req
195. 5:30...
Copy !req
196. you came here with Carl,
just to be alone.
Copy !req
197. 5:30. 5:30.
Copy !req
198. 5:30.
Copy !req
199. At 7:00...
Copy !req
200. At 7:00...
Copy !req
201. two men
came through that door.
Copy !req
202. two men came to the door.
Copy !req
203. They forced their way in.
There was a struggle.
Copy !req
204. Struggle.
Copy !req
205. Hello, what's happened?
Copy !req
206. Are you all right?
Copy !req
207. Mark? Don't you ever go home?
Copy !req
208. I'm just re-correlating
some data...
Copy !req
209. as requested.
Copy !req
210. I suppose you noticed today
that I wasn't my usual
charming self.
Copy !req
211. No kidding.
Copy !req
212. Why don't we have
a cup of coffee
in the cafeteria, and talk?
Copy !req
213. Don't tell me,
about Nadia Donner. Nadia Donner.
Copy !req
214. I don't think we have
anything to talk about.
Copy !req
215. We don't.
Copy !req
216. You say they were
wearing masks? What kind?
Copy !req
217. Stockings.
Copy !req
218. They were wearing
stockings over their faces.
Copy !req
219. It was very ugly,
frightening.
Copy !req
220. Lieutenant, perhaps if you
could wait until tomorrow. No, no...
Copy !req
221. it's all right.
Copy !req
222. That's right, ma'am.
The more information
we have now...
Copy !req
223. the better chance we have
of catching them.
Copy !req
224. Carl and I were...
Copy !req
225. sitting relaxing...
Copy !req
226. having a drink...
Copy !req
227. listening to music.
Copy !req
228. And we heard...
Copy !req
229. a knock at the door.
Copy !req
230. Carl went to see
who it was...
Copy !req
231. and we heard
a man's voice...
Copy !req
232. saying he had...
Copy !req
233. car trouble on the highway
and could he use the phone?
Copy !req
234. As soon as...
Copy !req
235. Carl opened the door...
Copy !req
236. they forced their way in.
Copy !req
237. Two men...
Copy !req
238. carrying guns.
Copy !req
239. They demanded money...
Copy !req
240. and when Carl said
he didn't have any...
Copy !req
241. one of them...
Copy !req
242. the tall man...
Copy !req
243. went upstairs
to the bedroom.
Copy !req
244. Carl picked up...
Copy !req
245. the poker from
the fireplace...
Copy !req
246. and they struggled...
Copy !req
247. and the man got
the poker away from Carl...
Copy !req
248. and he hit him.
Copy !req
249. Nadia, Nadia,
that's enough now.
Copy !req
250. That's all right, ma'am.
Just calm down.
Copy !req
251. And...
Copy !req
252. when they realized
what they'd done...
Copy !req
253. he took his wallet
and his watch...
Copy !req
254. and they took
some of my jewelry...
Copy !req
255. and then they...
Copy !req
256. ran out the door
and drove away.
Copy !req
257. Oh, then the car was
right outside?
Copy !req
258. Yeah.
Copy !req
259. I heard them leave.
Copy !req
260. But you didn't
hear it arrive?
Copy !req
261. No.
Copy !req
262. We were
listening to music.
Copy !req
263. Look, Lieutenant,
I am sorry...
Copy !req
264. but she is really in
no condition to answer
any more questions.
Copy !req
265. I understand, Doctor.
Copy !req
266. Thank you
very much, ma'am.
Copy !req
267. The lab guys are on their
way, Lieutenant. Right.
Copy !req
268. You got a description
of the intruders?
I'll call it in.
Copy !req
269. Not much of a description.
Two guys in ski caps
and stocking masks.
Copy !req
270. Can you read my writing?
Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
271. Don't lose my book. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
272. Possible.
Copy !req
273. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
274. How is she doing, Doctor?
Copy !req
275. Well, frankly, I'll feel
a lot better when
Dr. Collier gets here.
Copy !req
276. He should be here by now.
Copy !req
277. Who is Dr. Collier?
Copy !req
278. Nadia Donner's been undergoing
treatment for years.
Copy !req
279. One psychiatrist
after another.
Copy !req
280. The way she is now...
Copy !req
281. I think Dr. Collier's
better qualified
to deal with her.
Copy !req
282. Is something wrong,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
283. Guys, let's
get started inside.
Copy !req
284. Louie, you get
some pictures
of the body...
Copy !req
285. the wagon's on its way.
Eddie, you come on with me...
Copy !req
286. You guys, you just came down
the driveway?
Copy !req
287. It's the only way
to get down here, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
288. You're right, Lieutenant,
we got very little to go on.
Copy !req
289. What about the car,
she didn't see it, huh?
Copy !req
290. That's what she said.
Copy !req
291. Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.
Just one question.
Copy !req
292. You said that you were
having a drink.
Could I ask...
Copy !req
293. what it is
that you were drinking?
Copy !req
294. Martini.
Dry martini. Why?
Copy !req
295. Just want to make sure
of the details.
Sorry to disturb you.
Copy !req
296. You got enough there, Lou?
Copy !req
297. Just a few more, please.
Copy !req
298. Lot of dust
around this place.
Copy !req
299. The house was locked up
since Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
300. They didn't use it
very much.
Copy !req
301. They picked a great night
to start again.
Copy !req
302. How do you like this?
Nice, huh?
Copy !req
303. What do you bet
it's clean?
Copy !req
304. What do you want,
you want it easy?
Copy !req
305. Maybe we got lucky.
Copy !req
306. Don't hold your breath.
Copy !req
307. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
308. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
309. Yeah. We might have
a break on the car.
Copy !req
310. Outside.
Copy !req
311. Sergeant, tell me something.
Copy !req
312. What is this?
Copy !req
313. What's what?
Copy !req
314. I don't know,
a piece of metal?
Copy !req
315. I found it on the floor
over there.
Copy !req
316. Yeah.
Copy !req
317. Follow me.
Right.
Copy !req
318. What have you got?
Copy !req
319. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
320. See that left post?
Copy !req
321. There's a dent on it.
Copy !req
322. I don't know if it means
anything, but...
Copy !req
323. You see something?
Copy !req
324. Just a second.
Copy !req
325. You got a piece of paper?
Copy !req
326. A piece of paper?
Copy !req
327. What kind of paper?
Copy !req
328. Any kind of paper,
give me a piece of paper.
Copy !req
329. She said that when the fellows
left the house...
Copy !req
330. that she heard a car pull
out, so there
should be tracks.
Copy !req
331. Lieutenant, those tracks
are from my car.
Copy !req
332. I know...
Copy !req
333. but I thought I noticed
that this is a thinner track.
Copy !req
334. Thinner.
Copy !req
335. Where's the lab guy?
Copy !req
336. George.
Copy !req
337. See? This is a European car.
Copy !req
338. You know,
they have the thin tires.
Copy !req
339. Yeah, I know,
our tires are wider.
Copy !req
340. But, I don't see
any European cars here,
only my car.
Copy !req
341. You got a European car?
Copy !req
342. That's a French car.
Copy !req
343. Yeah, my car's a French car.
Copy !req
344. I had these thin tires
for years.
Copy !req
345. George...
Copy !req
346. take a photograph
of this tire track
right here.
Copy !req
347. Want to see if we can get
a picture of the design
of the tread.
Copy !req
348. Sure, I'll get Lou.
Copy !req
349. Let me show you the post. Yeah.
Copy !req
350. Now, maybe it's important
and maybe it's not.
Copy !req
351. Sergeant, check
the area, would you?
Copy !req
352. Maybe a neighbor
saw something
or heard something.
Copy !req
353. Not many neighbors
this time of the year,
Lieutenant...
Copy !req
354. especially in
the middle of the week.
Copy !req
355. Well, check anyhow.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Copy !req
356. You know, maybe somebody saw
a car or something.
Dr. Collier?
Copy !req
357. Yes. I'm Lieutenant Columbo,
LAPD.
Copy !req
358. This is my associate,
Dr. Anita Borden.
Copy !req
359. Hello, Lieutenant.How do you do, ma'am.
Copy !req
360. Now, what's going on here?
Dr. Hunt called me...
Copy !req
361. said something about
Carl Donner being hurt.
Copy !req
362. I'm sorry, sir.
He's dead.
Copy !req
363. Dead?
Copy !req
364. How?
Copy !req
365. Two men, they broke in...
Copy !req
366. there was a struggle.
Copy !req
367. What about Mrs. Donner?
Copy !req
368. She's okay.
Copy !req
369. Thank God.
Copy !req
370. Dr. Hunt's inside with her.
He's concerned about
her condition.
Copy !req
371. She's very upset.
Copy !req
372. I'm sure.
Let's go.
Copy !req
373. Doctor, may I borrow a match?
Copy !req
374. Oh, sure, let's go.
Copy !req
375. Lieutenant.
Copy !req
376. Mark, I can't.
I can't handle it.
Copy !req
377. Please, Mark, please,
don't make me lie anymore.
Copy !req
378. I'm going to help you.
Copy !req
379. We're going to
do it together.
Copy !req
380. You expecting anyone? No.
Copy !req
381. Sit here.
Copy !req
382. Good morning, Lieutenant. Good morning, sir.
Copy !req
383. I'm sorry, I didn't expect
to find you here.
Copy !req
384. I wanted to speak
to Mrs. Donner.
Copy !req
385. But I thought someone should
be with her, you understand.
Copy !req
386. Certainly.
Copy !req
387. This won't take long.
Copy !req
388. Come in, join us, please,
for coffee.
Copy !req
389. How do you take
your coffee?
Copy !req
390. Black. I'm trying
to lose weight.
Copy !req
391. Any news
about those men?
Copy !req
392. No, sir.
Copy !req
393. Not that we had
that much to go on.
Copy !req
394. Let me see.
Copy !req
395. Oh, yes. I wanted
to ask you, Mrs. Donner...
Copy !req
396. the beach house...
Copy !req
397. you and your husband haven't
used the beach house...
Copy !req
398. since November 25,
Thanksgiving,
is that right?
Copy !req
399. Yes...
Copy !req
400. December and January are very
lonely down by the water.
Copy !req
401. I was wondering, ma'am...
Copy !req
402. could you tell me
why you and your husband...
Copy !req
403. suddenly decided to spend
this particular night
at the beach house?
Copy !req
404. Yes.
Copy !req
405. Carl...
Copy !req
406. wanted to get away, and...
Copy !req
407. Well, as I've told you before,
there aren't...
Copy !req
408. many people by the beach
this time of year.
Copy !req
409. I love the beach
this time of year...
Copy !req
410. not that I could afford
a place like yours.
Copy !req
411. Excuse me sir,
may I borrow
your lighter?
Copy !req
412. Oh, certainly.
Copy !req
413. I don't know why I smoke
these things so early
in the morning.
Copy !req
414. They taste terrible.
Copy !req
415. I like a good
Havana myself.
Copy !req
416. "Love Mark, from Bibby."
Is that your wife?
Copy !req
417. No, that's my sister.
Copy !req
418. You know, she gave me this
when I graduated
medical school.
Copy !req
419. I really treasure it.
Copy !req
420. I can understand that, sir.
Copy !req
421. Something wrong?
Copy !req
422. No, I'm just trying to picture
something in my mind, sir.
Copy !req
423. Ma'am, last night, you said
one of the men went into
the bedroom...
Copy !req
424. and at that moment,
your husband picked up
the poker.
Copy !req
425. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
426. And he and the other man
then struggled.
Copy !req
427. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
428. Yes, that's
the problem.
Copy !req
429. Why didn't he
shoot him?
Copy !req
430. The man with the gun,
when your husband picked up
the poker...
Copy !req
431. why didn't he just
shoot him?
Copy !req
432. And what happened
to the gun?
Copy !req
433. When they struggled,
did he put the gun down,
or did he hold it in his hand?
Copy !req
434. I thought I told you...
Copy !req
435. he put the gun
in his belt...
Copy !req
436. to look in the drawers
or something...
Copy !req
437. and when he turned
his back on him...
Copy !req
438. that's when Carl attacked him.
Copy !req
439. I see.
Copy !req
440. I thought I'd mentioned
that to you.
Copy !req
441. No.
Copy !req
442. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
443. No, that's all right, ma'am.
No harm done.
Copy !req
444. I didn't ask you
that before.
Copy !req
445. Yes, that could happen.
Copy !req
446. Were they wearing gloves?
Copy !req
447. Gloves?
I don't remember.
Copy !req
448. There were no strange
fingerprints in the house,
ma'am...
Copy !req
449. just yours
and your husband's.
Copy !req
450. He used a handkerchief
to wipe away the prints.
Copy !req
451. I see.
Copy !req
452. I can't think
of anything else.
Copy !req
453. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
454. Good day, Lieutenant. Good day, sir.
Copy !req
455. You lose something,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
456. Why, yes, sir,
my notebook.
Copy !req
457. It's in your belt.
Copy !req
458. Good day.
Copy !req
459. Good day.
Copy !req
460. Mark, I'm so scared.
Copy !req
461. Please, we have to tell him.
Copy !req
462. We can't tell him,
we can't tell anyone.
Copy !req
463. Think how it would sound,
after our little story.
Copy !req
464. Be strong, Nadia,
be strong.
Copy !req
465. The zoo, Chuck...
Copy !req
466. the city's number one
collection of white rats,
rabbits, and guinea pigs.
Copy !req
467. Very impressive.
Copy !req
468. This is the lady who can
tell you all about it.
Copy !req
469. My publisher, Chuck Whelan,
Dr. Anita Borden.
Copy !req
470. How do you do?
Excuse me. Hi.
Copy !req
471. Fascinating.
Copy !req
472. He looks just like
one of my junior editors.
Copy !req
473. We call her Willie.
Copy !req
474. Sorry,
I don't have a Willie.
Copy !req
475. What's the purpose?
Copy !req
476. Well we're measuring
her learning rate.
Copy !req
477. You see,
there's only one way
to get to the food...
Copy !req
478. and last week
we had the route
marked out in red...
Copy !req
479. today we changed
the route to green.
Copy !req
480. But, she seems to be...
Copy !req
481. determined to follow
the red line.
Copy !req
482. So she's
not getting very far.
Copy !req
483. We're just going to see
how long it takes her.
Copy !req
484. All that for
a bite of egg.
Copy !req
485. Doesn't seem
quite fair.
Copy !req
486. I'd wager
your junior editors...
Copy !req
487. sometimes feel the same way.
Copy !req
488. Perhaps so.
Copy !req
489. Chuck, I'll walk you
to the car.
Copy !req
490. Okay. Thanks very much,
Doctor. And thank
Willie for me.
Copy !req
491. All right. Anytime.
Copy !req
492. Excuse me, ma'am,
how do I find Dr. Collier?
Copy !req
493. I believe he's
in the laboratory, sir.
Copy !req
494. And how do
I find that?
Copy !req
495. Just follow the blue line
to the East Wing.
Copy !req
496. This way? Yes, the blue line.
Copy !req
497. Is this the East Wing?
Copy !req
498. Yes, it is. I'm looking for Dr. Collier.
Copy !req
499. They said I might
find him here.
Copy !req
500. Perhaps he's in one
of the observation rooms.
Copy !req
501. This way? Yes.
Copy !req
502. Is there any special
color that...
Copy !req
503. Well, I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
504. Dr. Borden?
Copy !req
505. Yeah.
Copy !req
506. Lieutenant Columbo,
we met last night? Yeah.
Copy !req
507. Hi. I'm trying to locate
Dr. Collier.
Copy !req
508. I just saw him, he was heading
towards the parking lot.
Copy !req
509. No kidding.
I just came from there.
Copy !req
510. Yeah?
Copy !req
511. While I got you,
I want to double check...
Copy !req
512. you were working
here last night
with Dr. Collier?
Copy !req
513. Yeah, we weren't
exactly working,
but we were both here.
Copy !req
514. And Dr. Hunt reached
Dr. Collier
in the cafeteria?
Copy !req
515. Yes. When was that?
Copy !req
516. About 8:00, I was with him
when the call came in.
Copy !req
517. He asked me to
drive him there,
as a matter of fact.
Copy !req
518. Thought perhaps
I could be
of some help.
Copy !req
519. Is there anything else
I can do for you, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
520. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
521. What kind of place is this?
What do you do here?
Copy !req
522. You really want to know?
Copy !req
523. Basically, we're concerned
with the measurement...
Copy !req
524. and manipulation
of human behavior
at all levels.
Copy !req
525. This, as a matter of fact,
is our test lab, here.
Copy !req
526. We have all
our test animals
in here.
Copy !req
527. Things like...
Copy !req
528. peer group adaptability...
Copy !req
529. and anxiety catharsis
through hypnotic suggestion.
Copy !req
530. Hypnosis,
I'm reading up on that.
Copy !req
531. Dr. Collier wrote that.
Copy !req
532. Yes, I know.
I helped him research it.
Copy !req
533. You like it?
Copy !req
534. Very much.
Copy !req
535. It's hard to follow.
Copy !req
536. Yeah.
Copy !req
537. Hello, there.
Copy !req
538. Good afternoon, sir.
Copy !req
539. I've been looking
all over for you.
Copy !req
540. Dr. Borden was
very helpful.
Copy !req
541. Thank you, Doctor.
Copy !req
542. Not at all.
Copy !req
543. Thank you, ma'am.
Copy !req
544. Yeah.
Copy !req
545. I saw you looking
at my car.
Copy !req
546. Naturally, I'm curious.
Copy !req
547. That was because
of the tires, sir.
Copy !req
548. We found a muddy tire track
last night out at
Mrs. Donner's beach house.
Copy !req
549. You can see
the tread design.
Copy !req
550. It's very distinctive.
Copy !req
551. Oh, yeah,
isn't that the...
Copy !req
552. Isn't that
the 50,000 mile XKL?
Copy !req
553. That's pretty standard
equipment on...
Copy !req
554. say, a half dozen imported
luxury models...
Copy !req
555. like my own.
Copy !req
556. Yes, sir. I knew that,
I use those tires myself.
Copy !req
557. You have an imported car? Yes, sir, French.
Copy !req
558. Of course my tires...
Copy !req
559. don't let this get around,
they're a little bald.
Copy !req
560. So I wanted to get
a good look
at that tread design.
Copy !req
561. It's not as though
I thought your car was
out there last night.
Copy !req
562. I know Dr. Borden
drove you there.
Copy !req
563. You know, Lieutenant...
Copy !req
564. you're a marvelously
deceptive man.
Copy !req
565. You know, the way you get to
the point, without really
ever getting to the point.
Copy !req
566. I really think you believe
there's something cockeyed
about Carl Donner's death.
Copy !req
567. Can we talk
off the record, sir?
Copy !req
568. Please.
Copy !req
569. Mrs. Donner's a lovely lady...
Copy !req
570. but I'm having
difficulties with her story.
Copy !req
571. Oh?
Copy !req
572. She is either holding
something back or she is
deliberately lying.
Copy !req
573. I believe that she knew
who those men were...
Copy !req
574. maybe she even hired them.
Copy !req
575. Is that speculation,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
576. No, sir.
That is her story,
I can't buy it.
Copy !req
577. There's that
business about the gun
and the fireplace poker.
Copy !req
578. She explained that.
Copy !req
579. There is something else.
Copy !req
580. She said that
she and her husband were
listening to music...
Copy !req
581. and two men came to the door
and broke their way in.
Copy !req
582. That doesn't make
any sense.
Copy !req
583. No sense at all...
Copy !req
584. because of the headlights.
Copy !req
585. What are you talking about,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
586. Husband is sitting here.
Copy !req
587. This is the stereo.
Copy !req
588. That's the east window.
Copy !req
589. She's sitting here,
she has a martini,
they're talking.
Copy !req
590. If a car comes down
that driveway...
Copy !req
591. the headlights
glare through the window.
Copy !req
592. You cannot miss
those headlights.
Copy !req
593. What's the point?
Copy !req
594. She said...
Copy !req
595. she heard a man's voice
claim that he had car trouble
on the highway...
Copy !req
596. then after her husband was
murdered and the killers ran
out of the house...
Copy !req
597. she said she heard them
drive away.
Copy !req
598. That means that the car had to
drive down the driveway
in the first place...
Copy !req
599. so she must have
seen the headlights.
Copy !req
600. But if she saw
the headlights...
Copy !req
601. and then a man's voice
claims that his car is
broken down on the highway...
Copy !req
602. why open the door?
Copy !req
603. You see my problem.
Copy !req
604. I see your problem.
Copy !req
605. Now what if she got up
from the chair
at that moment.
Copy !req
606. It could be many things.
Copy !req
607. What if they drove down
the driveway with
their lights off?
Copy !req
608. Drove down with
the lights off.
Copy !req
609. Sure, if they're gonna
rob a place, why leave
their lights blazing?
Copy !req
610. Yeah, but
on the other hand, sir...
Copy !req
611. if you intend to claim
that your car broke down
on the highway...
Copy !req
612. why drive down
the driveway at all?
Copy !req
613. You see, there are too many
inconsistencies, sir.
I just have...
Copy !req
614. problems accepting
her story.
Copy !req
615. May I make a suggestion?
Copy !req
616. Why don't you ask her to
submit to a lie detector test?
Copy !req
617. A lie detector test? Sure.
Copy !req
618. Well, that's not
admissible in court.
Copy !req
619. It's not a question of
being admissible in court,
I'm talking about for you.
Copy !req
620. If you actually believe
that she was innocent...
Copy !req
621. then you could turn
your full energies to finding
the real murderers.
Copy !req
622. That's a very
good idea, sir...
Copy !req
623. but there's no way
that I can force her
to submit to such a test.
Copy !req
624. Let me ask her.
She trusts me.
Copy !req
625. And if I advise it,
I think she'll take it.
Copy !req
626. And you think that
she'll pass such a test?
Copy !req
627. I'd stake
my reputation on it.
Copy !req
628. Lie detector?
Copy !req
629. I can't. You can and you must.
They don't believe your story.
Copy !req
630. But how can I fool
a lie detector?
Copy !req
631. It's quite simple really.
Now the lie detector test
does nothing more...
Copy !req
632. than show your reactions
to a series of questions.
Copy !req
633. If you really believe
you're telling the truth...
Copy !req
634. that's what
the test will show.
Copy !req
635. And through hypnosis...
Copy !req
636. I can make you believe
that story
so no one can dispute it.
Copy !req
637. It's merely a matter
of post-hypnotic suggestion.
Copy !req
638. Will it work?
Copy !req
639. Of course, it'll work.
You've always been
a good subject.
Copy !req
640. I took the liberty of
bringing along the drug.
Copy !req
641. After the test...
Copy !req
642. the Lieutenant will have
no choice but to leave you
alone and go after intruders.
Copy !req
643. It's frightening, Mark.
Copy !req
644. What choice do we have?
Copy !req
645. The longer the Lieutenant
digs into this,
the greater the risk.
Copy !req
646. We have to convince him now
that he's wrong about you.
Copy !req
647. Trust me, darling.
Copy !req
648. Trust me.
Copy !req
649. Nadia, can you
hear me?
Copy !req
650. Yes, I hear you.
Copy !req
651. You will listen
to me carefully.
Copy !req
652. You will hear my voice...
Copy !req
653. and only my voice.
Copy !req
654. You will obey my voice,
do you understand?
Copy !req
655. Yes, I understand.
Copy !req
656. It is now 7:00.
Copy !req
657. You're upset
at Carl's death.
Copy !req
658. After I leave...
Copy !req
659. you will lock the door
and bolt it from inside.
Copy !req
660. You will stay here
in the apartment tonight.
Copy !req
661. You'll see no one,
you'll talk to no one,
do you understand?
Copy !req
662. Yes.
Copy !req
663. At 10:00,
the phone will ring.
Copy !req
664. You'll hear my voice.
Copy !req
665. I will mention a man's name,
Charles Whelan.
Copy !req
666. When you hear
that voice, you will
suddenly become very hot.
Copy !req
667. You will perspire.
Copy !req
668. You will have
an overwhelming desire
to go swimming.
Copy !req
669. Swimming.
Copy !req
670. You like to swim,
don't you?
Copy !req
671. Yes.
Copy !req
672. Do you remember
when you were a little girl...
Copy !req
673. how you enjoyed diving
into the pool from
the highest diving board?
Copy !req
674. Yes.
Copy !req
675. How your father enjoyed
watching you dive?
Copy !req
676. Yes.
Copy !req
677. Well, tonight,
you'll swim again.
Copy !req
678. You'll have to swim.
Copy !req
679. You'll be so hot,
nothing else will matter...
Copy !req
680. except to jump in
that cool, refreshing water.
Copy !req
681. You will put down the phone...
Copy !req
682. cross over to the balcony...
Copy !req
683. and dive into the pool
below your window.
Copy !req
684. [man #1]
Sue just doesn't
understand it.
Copy !req
685. [man #2]
I still think you should be
writing comic books.
Copy !req
686. You're awfully quiet
this evening.
Copy !req
687. I've been thinking about
that police lieutenant.
Copy !req
688. Columbo?
What on earth for?
Copy !req
689. Well, I think
he suspects you
of something.
Copy !req
690. Oh?
Copy !req
691. He keeps asking all kinds
of questions, about you, Mark.
Copy !req
692. How late you were
at the Institute last night.
What you've been up to.
Copy !req
693. And, what did
you tell him?
Copy !req
694. Just everything I know.
Copy !req
695. Everything you know?
Copy !req
696. Everything.
Copy !req
697. Excuse me.
Copy !req
698. Good— Lieutenant!
Copy !req
699. We were just
talking about you.
Copy !req
700. Oh, really?
Copy !req
701. I hope you don't mind.
I know that this is
a bad time.
Copy !req
702. Oh, no.
Come in, please.
Copy !req
703. I had no idea you
were entertaining.
Copy !req
704. It's just
a group of friends.
Copy !req
705. You know, we're having
a little get-together,
some of my colleagues.
Copy !req
706. Can I fix you a drink?
Copy !req
707. No. Thank you very much.
I wanted to discuss
something with you.
Copy !req
708. Certainly.
Copy !req
709. Excuse me, everyone.
Hey, excuse me.
Copy !req
710. Lieutenant Columbo
from the Los Angeles
Police Department.
Copy !req
711. He's investigating
the Carl Donner murder.
Copy !req
712. And I think
you've met Dr. Borden.
Copy !req
713. Hello, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
714. Can I get you
maybe a soft drink?
Copy !req
715. You have
any cream soda?
Copy !req
716. I'll have to take a look.
In the meantime, why don't you
meet some of my friends?
Copy !req
717. Arnold, Brenda,
Sue, Gary.
Copy !req
718. Arnold, why don't you
make the introductions...
Copy !req
719. I'll get the Lieutenant
his cream soda.
Copy !req
720. How are you,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
721. How do you do?
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
722. This is my wife, Brenda.
Copy !req
723. This is Melissa.
Copy !req
724. Lieutenant,
Gary Keppler.
Copy !req
725. Nice to meet you, sir.How do you do?
Copy !req
726. How are you?
This is my wife, Sue.
Copy !req
727. Hello.
George. Lydia.
Copy !req
728. Would you care
to come over
and join us, sir?
Copy !req
729. No, thank you very much.
Copy !req
730. Please. I'm on duty. Thank you.
Copy !req
731. Please, Lieutenant. I have to talk with the—
Copy !req
732. Sir, you'd be
doing us a favor.
Copy !req
733. We're just a bunch
of boring doctors here.
Copy !req
734. You'd be like
a breath of fresh air.
We'd love to have you.
Copy !req
735. Come on. Just for
a couple of minutes.
Copy !req
736. Terrific.
Copy !req
737. Can I take your
coat from you, sir? Thank you.
Copy !req
738. Here, wait a second.
Copy !req
739. Please, sit down. Sit yourself down.
Copy !req
740. Make yourself
comfortable.
Copy !req
741. Would, you like something.
I mean, look at all this food,
it's—
Copy !req
742. I'm on a diet.
Copy !req
743. You're at the wrong party,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
744. Lieutenant, you know
I find this
absolutely fascinating.
Copy !req
745. Do you have
an interesting investigation
you've been involved with?
Copy !req
746. We'd love to hear about
something like that. Yeah.
Copy !req
747. I think that the most
interesting investigation...
Copy !req
748. is always the one
that you're working on
at the moment.
Copy !req
749. That's usually true, but
what's so interesting
about this case?
Copy !req
750. It's already
been solved.
Copy !req
751. I thought Carl Donner was
killed by burglars. Right.
Copy !req
752. Intruders, ma'am.
Copy !req
753. At least,
that's the way
it appeared.
Copy !req
754. You mean there's
some doubt about it?
Copy !req
755. There is always
room for doubt.
Copy !req
756. In this case,
I would be willing to bet...
Copy !req
757. that the Lieutenant's
suspicions are very specific.
Copy !req
758. But Nadia Donner was there.
She told you what happened.
Copy !req
759. You doubt her story?
Copy !req
760. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
Copy !req
761. Yes, I do have
certain problems
in that area, ma'am. Yes.
Copy !req
762. Like what?
Copy !req
763. There was someone there
last night, that she didn't
tell us about.
Copy !req
764. That's what I wanted
to talk to you about, Doctor.
Copy !req
765. She mentioned herself
and her husband,
and the two intruders.
Copy !req
766. We know
that there was
someone else there.
Copy !req
767. Really? Well, Lieutenant,
how do you know that?
Copy !req
768. May I borrow your
lighter, sir? Oh, sure.
Copy !req
769. We know that there was
a smoker there.
Copy !req
770. And we know
that it was not
Mr. or Mrs. Donner...
Copy !req
771. because neither
of those two people smoke.
Copy !req
772. How about
one of the intruders?
Yeah, right.
Copy !req
773. That's what
we all thought originally.
Copy !req
774. Including myself.
Copy !req
775. But, no...
Copy !req
776. it is not
one of the intruders.
Copy !req
777. That would be impossible.
Copy !req
778. Why?
Why?
Copy !req
779. Because according to
Mrs. Donner...
Copy !req
780. the two men that broke in...
Copy !req
781. were wearing stocking masks
and if that is so...
Copy !req
782. they wouldn't have
been able to smoke.
Copy !req
783. Of course.
Make it a little awkward.
Copy !req
784. Doctor.
Copy !req
785. Doc, that's why
that lie detector thing
is important.
Copy !req
786. Her story's getting
shakier and shakier.
Copy !req
787. How would you know
there was a smoker there?
Copy !req
788. Because of this flint, ma'am.
Copy !req
789. What do you mean?
Copy !req
790. A flint from
a cigarette lighter. You see
this little nub of a flint...
Copy !req
791. that had been worn down
so thin that when
the person used his lighter...
Copy !req
792. it popped out.
Copy !req
793. But, how did you know
it was left there that night.
Copy !req
794. You'd make
a very good detective.
Copy !req
795. I don't know if I mentioned
this to you or not, Doctor...
Copy !req
796. we know that the flint was
dropped there last night.
Copy !req
797. You see, no one
had been in the place
since Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
798. On November 25,
they closed up
the place for the season...
Copy !req
799. and brought in
a professional cleaning crew.
Copy !req
800. And it's been
locked up ever since.
Copy !req
801. I found this flint
on the rug.
Copy !req
802. That was a rug
that had been shampooed.
Copy !req
803. Doctor...
Copy !req
804. would you mind if I
took the cover off this?
Copy !req
805. Why, certainly, Lieutenant.
It's your case.
Do as you wish.
Copy !req
806. Extremely British tonight.
Copy !req
807. It's elementary,
my dear Watson.
Copy !req
808. We know the following,
we know that there was
a smoker there...
Copy !req
809. a person who was
not included in
Nadia Donner's story.
Copy !req
810. We know that person
used his lighter...
Copy !req
811. and when he used it,
its flint popped out.
Right.
Copy !req
812. From these two facts,
we go on to a third fact.
Copy !req
813. That person is either using
something else
to light his cigarettes...
Copy !req
814. or he put in a new flint.
Copy !req
815. Okay, we'll go
along with that.
Copy !req
816. That's elementary.
Copy !req
817. Like this one.
Copy !req
818. I would say
that's a fresh flint,
from the size of it.
Copy !req
819. Doctor?
Copy !req
820. Oh, yes, I put that in
myself this morning.
Copy !req
821. I knew you did...
Copy !req
822. 'cause last night,
out at the beach house...
Copy !req
823. he lit a cigarette
with a pack of matches...
Copy !req
824. and he wouldn't have
done that if his lighter
had been working.
Copy !req
825. Yeah, but come on, Lieutenant,
surely you don't suspect Mark.
Copy !req
826. The lieutenant
suspects everyone.
Copy !req
827. You know, there must be
a dozen reasons how
that flint got on the floor.
Copy !req
828. Why don't you
just throw it open
for discussion?
Copy !req
829. There's an idea.
Yeah, right.
Copy !req
830. You know something, I'd make
a very good detective.
Copy !req
831. Really, I am.
Copy !req
832. Charles Whelan.
Copy !req
833. Mr. Charles Whelan, please.
Copy !req
834. Oh, I'm terribly sorry,
I must have the wrong number.
Copy !req
835. I mean, how did you
learn to be what you are?
Copy !req
836. How did you find
little things like flints...
Copy !req
837. How would you know
how to look for it?
Copy !req
838. You're really
very bright. I mean...
Copy !req
839. Chuck?
Copy !req
840. Hi. I'm sorry to call you
so late.
Copy !req
841. I told you I'd call you
around 9:00,
but I have some people over.
Copy !req
842. Can we make it
in the morning?
Copy !req
843. Good. I'll call you
first thing.
Copy !req
844. You have to swim.
Copy !req
845. You'll be so hot.
Nothing will matter except
to jump into that pool.
Copy !req
846. To feel that wonderful,
cool, refreshing water.
Copy !req
847. You like to swim,
don't you?
Copy !req
848. How your father loved to
watch you dive.
Copy !req
849. Well, tonight,
you'll swim again.
Copy !req
850. You'll have to swim.
Copy !req
851. You'll be so hot,
nothing else will matter...
Copy !req
852. except to jump in that
cool, refreshing water.
Copy !req
853. about what you were doing. Why would I have to lie?
Copy !req
854. That's a very
good question.
Copy !req
855. Yeah? See?
Copy !req
856. My husband always
tells me I'm dumb.
Copy !req
857. Are you convinced that
she was lying, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
858. I'm convinced of that,
yeah. There was
someone else there.
Copy !req
859. Why would she lie?
I mean that would be silly. Right.
Copy !req
860. And jump into the pool
below your window.
Copy !req
861. Your father will be watching.
Copy !req
862. That's her.
Copy !req
863. Not very pretty.
Copy !req
864. Where'd she fall from?
Copy !req
865. The fifth balcony.
Copy !req
866. Those railings are
40 inches high.
Copy !req
867. Believe me,
she didn't fall,
she jumped.
Copy !req
868. Or somebody pushed her.
Copy !req
869. No way.
Copy !req
870. What do you mean,
no way?
Copy !req
871. The door was locked
and bolted from the inside.
Copy !req
872. Our guys had to use axes
to knock it down.
The place was empty.
Copy !req
873. Did anybody see it? Yeah.
Copy !req
874. The guy in 119 went out
for cigarettes.
Copy !req
875. He heard the scream
and he saw the body hit.
Copy !req
876. When was that?
Copy !req
877. A few minutes after 10:00.
Copy !req
878. He went out for cigarettes
right at the end of a TV show.
Copy !req
879. Anything else?
Copy !req
880. Only what she was wearing.
Copy !req
881. What was that?
Copy !req
882. Take a look.
Copy !req
883. Not wearing anything.
Copy !req
884. This is the door
we knocked down.
Copy !req
885. That's the balcony
where she jumped.
Copy !req
886. This is her bedroom.
The bed is still made.
Copy !req
887. Was her bathtub wet?
Was she taking a bath
or a shower?
Copy !req
888. Nothing was disturbed.
Copy !req
889. So why was she naked?
Copy !req
890. I don't know.
But her clothes are
right there.
Copy !req
891. You mean she was dressed
when she came
out on the balcony?
Copy !req
892. So why did she
take off her clothes?
Copy !req
893. I don't know.
Copy !req
894. But there they are.
Copy !req
895. Has anything here
been touched? No, we waited for you.
Copy !req
896. Nothing was touched,
right, Hendryx?
Copy !req
897. Just the phone, Sarge. The what?
Copy !req
898. The phone.
It was off the hook,
so I replaced it.
Copy !req
899. Off the hook?
Copy !req
900. What do you mean,
off the hook?
Copy !req
901. Where was the receiver,
was it knocked to the floor?
Copy !req
902. Or on the desk?
Copy !req
903. No, the receiver was
on the desk,
near the hook, like that.
Copy !req
904. And it was making a noise.
It was buzzing.
Copy !req
905. You know the sound it makes.
And so I picked it up
and replaced it.
Copy !req
906. She was talking
to somebody,
never hung up.
Copy !req
907. Means she got
interrupted...
Copy !req
908. or she decided in the middle
of the conversation
to kill herself.
Copy !req
909. Who was she talking to?
Copy !req
910. You're right about
the railing. It's too high.
You can't fall over that.
Copy !req
911. Gotta jump.
Copy !req
912. But why take off
your clothes first?
Copy !req
913. I've seen a lot of pictures
of people jumping off
of buildings.
Copy !req
914. I never saw one naked.
Copy !req
915. This one took off
her clothes,
and she jumped.
Copy !req
916. Why did she do this?
Do what?
Copy !req
917. Fold her clothes up into
a nice neat pile.
Copy !req
918. Sarge, look at this! What?
Copy !req
919. Lieutenant,
over here.
Copy !req
920. What have you got?
Copy !req
921. A watch, three rings
and a bracelet.
Copy !req
922. Where did
you find this?
Copy !req
923. There, in
that potted plant.
Copy !req
924. Lieutenant!
Copy !req
925. Just a second.
Copy !req
926. Lieutenant, you're not
going to believe this.
Copy !req
927. Are you sure this fits
the description of the stuff
stolen last night?
Copy !req
928. Exactly.
Copy !req
929. Lieutenant...
Copy !req
930. this is the stuff that was
supposed to be stolen from
the beach house last night.
Copy !req
931. Excuse me,
excuse me, Sergeant. Yeah.
Copy !req
932. I'll tell you
what bothers me. What?
Copy !req
933. This scarf.
Copy !req
934. It was tucked in the shoe.
It's not so much the scarf.
Copy !req
935. It's what's inside.
Copy !req
936. Her valuables.
Copy !req
937. A watch and her earring.
Copy !req
938. Good morning, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
939. You're up awfully early
this morning, aren't you?
Copy !req
940. Haven't been to bed.
Copy !req
941. It's been a bad night.
Copy !req
942. I just heard
about Mrs. Donner
on the radio.
Copy !req
943. I'm stunned, it's...
Copy !req
944. It's awful.
Copy !req
945. By the way,
if you're looking
for Dr. Collier...
Copy !req
946. I'm afraid he's gone
for the day.
Copy !req
947. He's with his publisher,
out on his boat.
Copy !req
948. Actually, I'm looking
for you.
Copy !req
949. Do you go swimming?
Copy !req
950. Do I go swimming?
You betcha.
Copy !req
951. Where do you put
your valuables?
Copy !req
952. Well, last month
I took a trip to Acapulco...
Copy !req
953. and I rented
one of those cabanas.
Copy !req
954. Left everything
in there.
Copy !req
955. What do you do
if you don't have
a cabana?
Copy !req
956. Well, when I was a kid...
Copy !req
957. I used to wrap everything up
in my stockings...
Copy !req
958. and put it
into my shoes.
Copy !req
959. I wanna ask
your professional opinion.
Copy !req
960. Is it possible to
hypnotize Mrs. Donner...
Copy !req
961. so that with
the use of suggestion
you could...
Copy !req
962. make her jump
over that balcony
to her death?
Copy !req
963. No, it's not possible,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
964. You see, a person won't
do anything
in a hypnotic state...
Copy !req
965. that they wouldn't
normally do
in a conscious state.
Copy !req
966. Particularly not anything
that self-destructive.
Copy !req
967. Suppose she thought
she was jumping into a pool?
Copy !req
968. Suppose she thought she was
just going swimming?
Copy !req
969. I think that's
a lot of supposing.
Copy !req
970. That's Mrs. Donner's shoe.
Copy !req
971. We found it on the balcony.
Copy !req
972. She took it off
before she jumped.
Copy !req
973. This is Mrs. Donner's scarf.
Copy !req
974. It was shoved in the shoe.
Copy !req
975. In the scarf
we found her watch...
Copy !req
976. and her earrings.
Copy !req
977. She also took off
her clothes
before she jumped.
Copy !req
978. We found them piled up
in a nice neat pile.
Copy !req
979. What are these?
Copy !req
980. They're drugs.
Copy !req
981. What are they called?
Copy !req
982. Amobarbitol and zilothin.
Copy !req
983. Do you know
where we found them? I have no idea.
Copy !req
984. The coroner found them
in Mrs. Donner's body.
Copy !req
985. This is a statement
from the medical examiner.
Copy !req
986. Medical examiner says
that these drugs can
be effectively used...
Copy !req
987. to break down
somebody's will.
Copy !req
988. They're similar
to truth serum.
Copy !req
989. To your knowledge...
Copy !req
990. did Dr. Collier
ever prescribe these drugs
for Mrs. Donner?
Copy !req
991. I can't give you that kind
of information, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
992. You're just gonna have
to ask Dr. Collier.
Copy !req
993. No, I'm asking you!
Copy !req
994. I'm asking you
about a murder.
Copy !req
995. What a nice morning.
Copy !req
996. Well, it's still better than
sitting behind a desk
all afternoon, huh?
Copy !req
997. Why don't we have
some lunch at the club?
Copy !req
998. You're on.
Copy !req
999. Dr. Collier!
Copy !req
1000. Brace yourself, Chuck.
It's the law.
Copy !req
1001. You're kidding.
Copy !req
1002. Good morning, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1003. Good morning, sir.
Copy !req
1004. Oh, Lieutenant Columbo,
this is Chuck Whelan.
Copy !req
1005. How do you do, sir?
How do you do?
Copy !req
1006. Is there someplace where
we could talk privately, sir?
Copy !req
1007. Mark, I'll go in
and make our reservations.
Copy !req
1008. I'll be waiting in the bar
whenever you're finished. Right.
Copy !req
1009. Nice meeting you, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1010. Now what
seems to be the problem?
Copy !req
1011. That's him.
Copy !req
1012. That's who?
Copy !req
1013. The fellow you were trying
to get a hold of last night,
10:00.
Copy !req
1014. You finally got
a hold of him.
Copy !req
1015. Lieutenant, I'm a little tired
and I'm a little hungry.
Copy !req
1016. Oh, I guess
you haven't heard.
Copy !req
1017. Heard what?
Copy !req
1018. No, sir,
you haven't heard.
Copy !req
1019. About Mrs. Donner.
Copy !req
1020. Go on.
Copy !req
1021. She's dead.
Copy !req
1022. But how?
What happened?
Copy !req
1023. It looks like suicide.
Copy !req
1024. She went out
on the balcony
of her apartment...
Copy !req
1025. took off her clothes...
Copy !req
1026. and she jumped.
Copy !req
1027. It's unbelievable...
Copy !req
1028. unless...
Copy !req
1029. Unless what?
Copy !req
1030. Unless she actually
had killed Carl.
Copy !req
1031. That would be consistent
with her personality.
Copy !req
1032. She.
Copy !req
1033. You mean that you now believe
that she did kill her husband?
Copy !req
1034. It's inconceivable, yet...
Copy !req
1035. But psychiatry is
an interpretive science,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1036. We're all fallible.
Copy !req
1037. No, sir.
Copy !req
1038. I don't think so.
Copy !req
1039. As far as I'm concerned, sir,
we still have to look for
an accomplice.
Copy !req
1040. Yeah?
Copy !req
1041. Dr. Collier...
Copy !req
1042. at the time of
Carl Donner's death...
Copy !req
1043. you said that you were
at the university.
Copy !req
1044. I don't say it,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1045. Dr. Borden can confirm it.
Copy !req
1046. Doctor Borden cannot
confirm the time
of the murder.
Copy !req
1047. We only know the murder took
place at 7:00 because
the wife, Mrs. Donner said so.
Copy !req
1048. She said it was
at 7:00...
Copy !req
1049. but the medical examiner says
it could have taken place
a lot earlier.
Copy !req
1050. Now, if that's true, sir...
Copy !req
1051. your alibi is not that strong.
Copy !req
1052. As a matter of fact,
I went to the university.
Copy !req
1053. I couldn't find anybody there
that recalls seeing you
earlier.
Copy !req
1054. Am I to presume that I'm
currently your chief suspect?
Copy !req
1055. I'm not sure that
suspect is a strong
enough word.
Copy !req
1056. In that case,
I should be locked up.
'Course, I'm not.
Copy !req
1057. Therefore, I presume
that you have no proof.
Copy !req
1058. Not yet.
Copy !req
1059. You'll let me know
when you do, won't you?
Copy !req
1060. You will be
the first to know, Doctor.
Copy !req
1061. I've been looking all over
for you, we got a witness.
Copy !req
1062. Not a great witness,
but a witness.
Copy !req
1063. His name is Morris.
He lives with his brother...
Copy !req
1064. about a half mile up
from the beach house.
Copy !req
1065. He was up walking on
the highway...
Copy !req
1066. about the time
Donner was killed.
Copy !req
1067. Did he see Collier
or the car?
Copy !req
1068. That's the problem.
Copy !req
1069. He's blind, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1070. The most we can
get out of him is
the right time.
Copy !req
1071. He's got one of
those Braille watches.
Copy !req
1072. He said the car came out...
Copy !req
1073. at 5:30 in the afternoon
not 7:00 at night.
Copy !req
1074. He's sure about that?
Copy !req
1075. He is positive.
Copy !req
1076. Now I got Morris
back at headquarters.
Copy !req
1077. I thought maybe
you might wanna ask him
a couple of questions.
Copy !req
1078. Good morning, Doctor. Yeah, good morning.
Copy !req
1079. What the hell is this? I had
to cancel two sessions...
Copy !req
1080. because of your phone call,
idiotic phone call.
Copy !req
1081. I'm sorry, sir,
I thought it was important.
Copy !req
1082. And what do we got here,
the famous Ritz Brothers?
Copy !req
1083. Sergeant Kramer,
Officer Hendryx.
Copy !req
1084. Officer O'Brien. Get on with it.
Copy !req
1085. May I have that paper?
Copy !req
1086. You wanted me to
let you know when
I had proof.
Copy !req
1087. Is that it?
Copy !req
1088. That piece of paper?
Copy !req
1089. Proof?
Copy !req
1090. Well, yes or no?
Copy !req
1091. This is an autopsy report. So?
Copy !req
1092. Nadia Donner did not
commit suicide.
Copy !req
1093. She was murdered.
Copy !req
1094. We found evidence of
barbiturates in her system.
Copy !req
1095. Lieutenant...
Copy !req
1096. Nadia Donner didn't die of
barbiturates, her death was
a little bit more dramatic.
Copy !req
1097. A leap from
a fifth floor balcony.
Copy !req
1098. She thought she was
going swimming.
Copy !req
1099. You told her that.
Copy !req
1100. You programmed her.
Copy !req
1101. Have you got
anything or not?
Copy !req
1102. I have a telephone call. What phone call?
Copy !req
1103. You called her. I deny it.
Copy !req
1104. That officer found
the receiver off the hook...
Copy !req
1105. when he broke through her
locked door.
Copy !req
1106. Congratulations.
Is that it?
Copy !req
1107. Why did she take her
clothes off before she jumped?
You tell me.
Copy !req
1108. Why did she put her
valuables in her shoe?
Copy !req
1109. Because she thought she was
going swimming.
Copy !req
1110. Lieutenant, forgive me,
for interrupting.
Copy !req
1111. We could speculate all day
on how Nadia Donner died.
Wouldn't mean a damn thing.
Copy !req
1112. The problem with your theory
is you have no proof, do you?
Copy !req
1113. Yes or no?
Copy !req
1114. You're under arrest.
Copy !req
1115. What for?
Copy !req
1116. Murder. You better have a warrant.
Copy !req
1117. I have it.
Copy !req
1118. You're right, Doctor.
I can't prove that you
killed Mrs. Donner.
Copy !req
1119. But I can prove that you
killed Mr. Donner.
Copy !req
1120. I have a witness.
Copy !req
1121. That's right, sir.
Copy !req
1122. I have an eyewitness.
Copy !req
1123. Officer.
Copy !req
1124. Mr. Morris, would you
care to sit down? Certainly, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1125. Mr. Morris,
do you live around here?
Copy !req
1126. Yes, sir,
a short distance
up the highway.
Copy !req
1127. Dr. Collier.
Copy !req
1128. You need a match,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
1129. Thank you. You're welcome.
Copy !req
1130. Dr. Collier...
Copy !req
1131. do you recognize this man?
Copy !req
1132. No, I do not.
Copy !req
1133. Mr. Morris,
Copy !req
1134. besides myself, have you ever
seen anyone in this
room before?
Copy !req
1135. Yes, sir, I have.
Copy !req
1136. Under what circumstances?
Copy !req
1137. I was walking along
the Coast Highway Monday...
Copy !req
1138. getting some air...
Copy !req
1139. when a car suddenly came
speeding out of
the Donner driveway.
Copy !req
1140. The driver saw me
at the last minute...
Copy !req
1141. and skidded to avoid me...
Copy !req
1142. then he drove off.
Copy !req
1143. And this driver...
Copy !req
1144. did you get
a good look at him?
Copy !req
1145. Yes, sir, I did.
Copy !req
1146. It was this man standing here.
Copy !req
1147. What time was that?
Copy !req
1148. It was around 5:30.
I checked my watch.
Copy !req
1149. And you're certain
that the man that you
see standing here...
Copy !req
1150. in front of you
was the same man...
Copy !req
1151. that you saw drive
out of the Donner driveway?
Copy !req
1152. Positively.
Copy !req
1153. He was driving a late
model Mercedes...
Copy !req
1154. a coupe, blue.
Copy !req
1155. Beautiful, Lieutenant,
it's a gallant effort.
Copy !req
1156. I beg your pardon? Oh, come now, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1157. That man couldn't see me
or my car. He didn't
see anything. He's blind.
Copy !req
1158. Blind?
Copy !req
1159. I must admit, your little
charade was very good.
Copy !req
1160. The way you had him come in,
sit down, offer you
the matches...
Copy !req
1161. identifying where I was
standing by my voice.
Copy !req
1162. What, makes you
think he was blind, sir?
Copy !req
1163. Did you see a blind man
on the highway that day?
Copy !req
1164. Of course not.
Copy !req
1165. You and I both know,
I was miles away from
here when Carl died.
Copy !req
1166. But, I do have
a little medical training.
Copy !req
1167. You can tell by
looking at him.
Copy !req
1168. The cast in his eyes...
Copy !req
1169. the way he moves...
Copy !req
1170. but don't take my word for it.
Copy !req
1171. Read a few pages of this,
will you, Mr. Morris?
Copy !req
1172. Just start anywhere,
would you please?
Copy !req
1173. "Always pack
a bulky sweater...
Copy !req
1174. "and some heavy underwear.
Copy !req
1175. "Even in the spring,
the mountains can get
pretty cold at night."
Copy !req
1176. Here, read that.
Copy !req
1177. "Surely it is
the most beautiful
of all sports."
Copy !req
1178. The man is blind.
He's blind.
Copy !req
1179. Mr. Morris?
Copy !req
1180. Stay.
Copy !req
1181. That's right, Doctor,
that man that you
saw was blind...
Copy !req
1182. and is blind.
Copy !req
1183. This is Daniel Morris.
That's the man that you saw on
the road Monday afternoon.
Copy !req
1184. This other man is
his brother, David.
Copy !req
1185. I'm sure you can
see the problem, sir.
Copy !req
1186. There is no way in the world
that you could have assumed
that this man...
Copy !req
1187. this witness was blind
unless, of course...
Copy !req
1188. you had seen this
man that day.
Copy !req
1189. That's the only way
you could have known.
Copy !req
1190. Thank you.You're welcome.
Copy !req
1191. I have an eyewitness,
Dr. Collier...
Copy !req
1192. an eyewitness that will
place you at the head of
the Donner driveway...
Copy !req
1193. at 5:30 Monday afternoon.
Copy !req
1194. But the eyewitness is
not Mr. Morris.
Copy !req
1195. The eyewitness is you.
Copy !req
