Copy !req
3. I'm talking
about the mugging
Copy !req
4. You thought I was dead,
didn't you?
Copy !req
5. Oh, yes Until I heard
of the feats of Geronimo
Copy !req
6. Then I knew
it had to be you
Copy !req
7. Sir, I do have
a murder on my hands
Copy !req
8. I'm painfully aware
of that, Lieutenant
Copy !req
9. The man you know as Henderson
was one of my best operators
Copy !req
10. That's my wife's
favorite piece of music
Copy !req
11. I know
Copy !req
12. You have my house bugged
Copy !req

Copy !req
19. All right
I'll be seeing you
Copy !req
20. Give my best to Sheila,
would you?
Copy !req
21. All right, yes
Yes Yes Byebye
Copy !req
22. Yes?
Copy !req
23. Colorado is a river
Copy !req
24. Geronimo is an Indian
Copy !req
25. There is no beach
like a Long Beach
Copy !req
26. An amusement park
Copy !req
27. When?
Copy !req
28. In two hours
Copy !req
29. Ruth?
Copy !req
30. Yes?
Copy !req
31. 4:30, Monday,
John Graham's office
Don't let me forget, please

Copy !req
41. Bye
Copy !req
42. We'd have more privacy
on a freeway
Copy !req
43. Oh, I don't know
Wasn't it you that said
Copy !req
44. you should never have
a clandestine meeting
in a clandestine place?
Copy !req
45. Besides which,
I've always had a certain
Copy !req
46. perverse affection
for amusement parks
Copy !req
47. By the way,
how is AJ Henderson?
Copy !req
48. AJ Henderson
commutes every day
from Westport
Copy !req
49. except when he has to
go to a regional office
for a visit
Copy !req
50. A very ordered life
It makes him worth
much more that way
Copy !req
51. You thought I was dead,
didn't you?
Copy !req
52. Oh, yes Until I heard
of the feats of Geronimo
Copy !req
53. Then I knew
it had to be you
Copy !req
54. Why didn't you contact me?
I have
Copy !req
55. Three years, amigo
Copy !req
56. Well, one can't
be too careful
Copy !req
57. Now, let me tell you about
this little operation
that I'm involved in here
Copy !req
58. You'll tell me
about the operation
in a minute
Copy !req
59. First things first, Nelson
Now, as I remember,
Copy !req
60. we had a certain
currency scheme going on
down there in bananaland
Copy !req
61. Three hundred thousand
cruzeiros, as I recall
Copy !req
62. Supposing I told you
that I was broke?
Copy !req
63. Double agents
don't go broke
Copy !req
64. They die sometimes,
but they don't go broke
Copy !req
65. Oh, come along now
That theory about
my being a double agent,
Copy !req
66. you know there's
no fact in it
Copy !req
67. The Agency doesn't
deal in facts,
only rumors
Copy !req
68. And I have a lot more
than rumors, Nelson
Copy !req
69. Do you?
Copy !req
70. Oh, come on, relax
Copy !req
71. The funds have been
safely invested
in tripleA bonds
Copy !req
72. You'll get your money back
plus interest
When?
Copy !req
73. Of course,
I could write you
a personal check
Copy !req
74. and then we'd both be
tossed into the Potomac
Copy !req
75. I said when?
I want cash,
Copy !req
76. and I'll worry
about the laundering
I was afraid about that
Copy !req
77. You'll get the cash
Sir!
Copy !req
78. Yes?
Sir,
Copy !req
79. I've just taken
your photograph
Have you?
Copy !req
80. Yes, and if you would
like a print of it,
Copy !req
81. please stop by the booth
on your way out
I'll have them ready for you
Copy !req
82. Oh, really?
Yes
Copy !req
83. I can stop by anytime?
Anytime
Copy !req
84. Well, in that case
I'll be seeing you
Copy !req
85. Okay
Thank you so much
Copy !req
86. Step right up
Copy !req
87. Five out of ten
How's your eye these days?
Copy !req
88. Deadly, Nelson

the 10 little ducks,
Copy !req

ladies and gentlemen!
Step right up
Copy !req
101. Five out of ten wins a prize,
Copy !req
102. ten out of ten
wins a giant panda
Copy !req
103. Good
Copy !req
104. Congratulations, gentlemen
Copy !req
105. We have two winners!
Copy !req
106. I usually lose
two of these in six months
Copy !req
107. Two in the same day
is enough to break me
Copy !req
108. You can keep mine, buddy
I'm all heart
Copy !req
109. Thank you, pal
Thank you
Copy !req
110. Five out of ten
wins you a prize,
10 out of 10
Copy !req
111. I'll bet you were
disappointed when
I showed up alive
Copy !req
112. Oh, I'm not that greedy
Copy !req
113. But the Tupamaro
had you cold
Copy !req
114. How did you do it?
How'd you get away?
Copy !req
115. On day one I had
two of their people
on ice
Copy !req
116. It was a matter of
a simple exchange
Copy !req
117. Then the Director
wanted to make it
look like I was dead
Copy !req
118. Ah, yes
The Director
Copy !req
119. Tricky fellow,
our Director
Copy !req
120. What's this caper
all about?
Copy !req
121. Now this is a naval code
on microfilm
Copy !req
122. in the possession
of a crafty old buzzard
by the name of Steinmetz
Copy !req
123. He'll require a series
of meetings to make sure
that he's not being set up
Copy !req
124. Is he?
Copy !req
125. All we're interested in
at the moment
is the microfilm
Copy !req
126. When and where?
Copy !req
127. Tonight, 11:00 Sinbad's
Santa Monica Pier
Copy !req
128. Remember the routine
that we used in La Paz
in 1967? Clicketyclick?
Copy !req
129. It's the same one
Clicketyclick
Copy !req
130. Why all the jazz?
Copy !req
131. Oh, this is the way
that Mr Steinmetz
would like it
Copy !req
132. This Steinmetz
Yes?
Copy !req
133. Is he an operator?
Copy !req
134. Well, shall we say that
he's an old and crafty
peddler and that's all
Copy !req
135. Excuse me a minute,
will you?
Copy !req
136. Hello
Hi
Copy !req
137. Do you like the name Fred?
Copy !req
138. Yeah
Copy !req
139. You do?
Perhaps you prefer
the name Archibald?
Copy !req
140. I don't know
any Archibalds
Copy !req
141. You don't know
any Archibalds?
Copy !req
142. Well, this is Archibald
and now you know him
Copy !req
143. And now he's yours
Would you like him?
Copy !req
144. Yeah
You would?
Copy !req
145. Uhhuh
All right He's yours
Copy !req
146. Thank you
It's my pleasure
Copy !req
147. Nice talking to you
Thank you Okay
Copy !req
148. This way
Copy !req
149. Bye
Bye
Copy !req
150. You'll be needing this
Copy !req
151. What's the price?
Copy !req
152. Whatever it takes
Copy !req
153. What currency?
Copy !req
154. Dollars or lira
Copy !req
155. And they want
the drop site
where they decide
Copy !req
156. I suggest,
by the way, that you
don't wear your gun
Copy !req
157. That undercover
I don't go
Copy !req
158. The contact
may want to frisk you
Copy !req
159. Well, let him
They know I'm an operator
Or don't they?
Copy !req
160. Well, they do,
but they don't
know your name
Copy !req
161. or anything else
about you
Copy !req
162. Why didn't you
use one of your men
out here?
Copy !req
163. There's too much
money involved
Copy !req
164. Besides, our Director
doesn't want Mr Steinmetz
tracing back to me
Copy !req
165. Then you are
setting him up?
Copy !req
166. Perhaps
But not at this time
Copy !req
167. I'll take care of
the photo stand for you
Copy !req
168. and I'll be in touch
Copy !req
169. Have a nice evening
Copy !req
170. Yes, sir

Copy !req
171. I'll have a vodka
on the rocks
Copy !req

173. You want a twist in that?
Copy !req
174. No, that's fine
Copy !req
175. That's $150
Copy !req
176. Pretty, huh?
Mmmhmm
Copy !req
177. Hey, the machine
doesn't work
Copy !req
178. No cigarettes
and no money back
Copy !req
179. Acting up again?
How much you lose?
Copy !req

Copy !req
182. Here you go

524. Do you remember
taking his picture?
Copy !req
525. Gee, I take so many pictures
No
Copy !req
526. All right
Let me check over something
Copy !req
527. You take as many pictures
as you can, right?
Copy !req
528. That's right
Copy !req
529. And you hand out cards,
right?
Copy !req
530. Uhhuh

people's names, right?
Copy !req
532. That's right
Copy !req
533. And they can order
a print immediately
Copy !req
534. or they can come back,
or they can write
for an enlargement
Copy !req
535. That's right
Copy !req
536. Now, what about
the ones that
you don't sell?
Copy !req
537. Well, I keep them
about a week and then
I get rid of them
Copy !req
538. So you got
a lot left over
from yesterday?
Copy !req
539. Yeah, I do
Copy !req
540. May I see them?
Copy !req
541. Sure Come on in the back
I'll show you what's left
Copy !req
542. An old man,
men, family,

Copy !req
545. That's it
Copy !req
546. That's all
the unsold photographs
from yesterday?
Copy !req
547. That's the works
Copy !req
548. There's not another pile?
Copy !req
549. No
Copy !req
550. And he's not in there?
Copy !req
551. No
Copy !req
552. You're sure?
Copy !req
553. Quite sure
Copy !req
554. What about the photographs
that you didn't sell?
Copy !req
555. What about them?
Copy !req
556. Don't they have
a negative?
Copy !req
557. You want to see
the negatives?
Copy !req
558. I do
Copy !req
559. I'm gonna get you
the negatives
Negatives
Copy !req
560. Negatives
Copy !req
561. You know,
you can't really see
faces on the negatives
Copy !req
562. I mean, when you hold them up,
you can't make them out
Copy !req
563. I think you'll have to
have them printed up
Copy !req
564. Do you have
a magnifying glass?
Copy !req
565. It's over there
Copy !req
566. You know,
I might not even have
taken his picture
Copy !req
567. I mean,
just because he was here,
he may not have come by
Copy !req
568. And maybe
he bought it, so maybe
I don't even have it
Copy !req
569. I think it's these
This is it
Copy !req
570. I thought you said
that he wasn't here
Copy !req
571. He's not
Copy !req
572. Who is this?
Copy !req
573. That's a fat lady
Copy !req
574. Who is that
behind the fat lady?
Copy !req
575. It's your friend
Copy !req
576. I'm not gonna
say anything
Copy !req
577. Shows you what a little
perseverance can do
Copy !req
578. Now, wait a minute
Copy !req
579. Just a second
Let's not rush
Copy !req
580. Standing next to the guy
behind the fat lady
Copy !req
581. is a piece of a guy
in a blue jacket
Copy !req
582. They could be together
Copy !req
583. Now let's see if we can find
a bigger piece of the guy
Copy !req
584. who is standing next to my guy
who is behind the fat lady
Copy !req
585. Look through
these photographs
Copy !req
586. Okay
Copy !req
587. How you doing?
Copy !req
588. Wait a minute
Wait a minute
What
Copy !req
589. What do you think
about that? Same color
Copy !req
590. My goodness
You've done it
That's him
Copy !req
591. Okay
Let me see, let me see
Copy !req
592. That's the both of them
They're together
Copy !req
593. Hey, you know what?
Yesterday this new guy here,
Copy !req
594. he bought both the print
and the negative from me
Copy !req
595. I remember because
he gave me $20 for them
Copy !req
596. Can you blow this up?
Copy !req
597. This extra demand
for our extra supply
Copy !req
598. is gonna make
a proper marriage
in this market place
Copy !req
599. Youre worried
about the Chinese?
Copy !req
600. I tell you, don't worry
about the Chinese
You know why?
Copy !req
601. Because they can
pull out of the Olympics,
Copy !req
602. but they cant pull out
of soybeans!
Copy !req
603. I tell you this,
they gonna be
our big buyers
Copy !req
604. I guarantee you!
Copy !req
605. Now, you know what its like
from the growers side
of things
Copy !req
606. No matter the high cost
of fertilizer
Got the wrong room
Copy !req
607. no matter the laws
against insecticides
Mr Brenner?
Copy !req
608. we are going to
have a big year!
Yes You have the wrong room
Copy !req
609. Your secretary said
that I could find you here
My name is Columbo
Copy !req
610. Now, if there are
any sour grapes
Copy !req
611. I'm sorry to bother you, sir
This is very important
Copy !req
612. Do you know
an AJ Henderson
from New York?
Copy !req
613. lm gonna promise you
that next year
Copy !req
614. No, I don't
You have
the wrong room, sir
Copy !req
615. I had this blown up
You might want
to take a look at it
Copy !req
616. Well, that was
taken last night
Copy !req
617. in an amusement park
in Long Beach
Copy !req
618. Absolutely marvelous
Copy !req
619. You've done it again,
my good friend
Copy !req
620. That was a fine speech
Wonderful speech
Copy !req
621. That Moustache Pete dialogue
always gets everybody
Copy !req
622. You gonna
come to the table?
Copy !req
623. I'll be with you in a moment
I'll see you all
a little later
Copy !req
624. All right
But don't you stay
too long
Copy !req
625. Yes, that was
a terrific speech
Copy !req
626. Nice to meet you
Copy !req
627. Step over here a minute,
will you, please?
Copy !req
628. Take a seat
Copy !req
629. According to witnesses,
Copy !req
630. you were seen
with Mr Henderson
yesterday afternoon
Copy !req
631. I didn't quite
catch your name
Copy !req
632. Lieutenant Columbo,
Los Angeles
Police Department
Copy !req
633. Sorry for the reception
Copy !req
634. Not knowing who you were,
Copy !req
635. and since I intended
to pirate Mr Henderson
Copy !req
636. away from his firm
to my firm,
Copy !req
637. I naturally denied
knowing him
Copy !req
638. Until what time, sir,
were you with Mr Henderson?
Copy !req
639. Oh, I suppose
I left him between
5:30 and 6:00,
Copy !req
640. something of that nature
Copy !req
641. Do you have any idea
Copy !req
642. what Mr Henderson's
plans were
after he left you?
Copy !req
643. Not at all I had imagined
that he was going back
to the hotel to have a
Copy !req
644. Oh, yes! Yes
Copy !req
645. He did say that
he was going to take
a drive out to the beach
Copy !req
646. To see it at night
Never seen it before
East Coast man, you know
Copy !req
647. Apparently that's just
what he did, sir
Copy !req
648. He was found murdered
there last night
Copy !req
649. in a place called
Muggers' Haven
Copy !req
650. Muggers' Haven
Copy !req
651. Well
Copy !req
652. Yes, sir
Copy !req
653. That's such
an extraordinary
Copy !req
654. Forgive me, please
Copy !req
655. The strangest thing is,
one of the reasons I gave him
Copy !req
656. for moving out here
away from New York,
Copy !req
657. that the crime rate
was not quite so high
Isn't that bizarre?
Copy !req
658. That is ironic
Copy !req
659. Do you have any suspects?
Copy !req
660. Yes, sir, we do,
but we don't know
who he is yet
Copy !req
661. Someone who appeared
to follow him
Copy !req
662. out of a nightclub
out there at the beach
Copy !req
663. How did you
contact me so quickly?
Copy !req
664. Oh, that's a long story,
sir
Copy !req
665. But when I got
the photograph,
Copy !req
666. someone at the firm
where Mr Henderson worked
identified you
Copy !req
667. They said you were
a very famous consultant,
Copy !req
668. and they also said, sir,
that the AJ Henderson
that works for their firm
Copy !req
669. is alive and living
in Westport, Connecticut,
Copy !req
670. and doing business
out of New York
Copy !req
671. Then you must be mistaken
Copy !req
672. No, sir, I'm not
Copy !req
673. You mean to suggest
that the Henderson
that I met with yesterday
Copy !req
674. was not with
Winston Advertising?
Copy !req
675. That's right, sir
Copy !req
676. I don't understand
Copy !req
677. Initially, you see,
he called me from New York
Copy !req
678. and evinced an interest
in working for my firm
Copy !req
679. And I said,
"Yes, surely, of course,
we'll see about it"
Copy !req
680. Meanwhile, I checked him out,
found, in fact,
Copy !req
681. that he was an able
accounting executive
Copy !req
682. and said next time
he was over here we'd meet,
Copy !req
683. and we did and
And that was yesterday
Copy !req
684. He must've been
impersonating
Copy !req
685. lmpersonating? Why?
Copy !req
686. I don't know
Did you hire him?
Copy !req
687. Too late now, isn't it?
Copy !req
688. I was going to
I liked him I thought
Copy !req
689. Most impressed by him
Too late now
Copy !req
690. Dead
Copy !req
691. All very sad
Most puzzling, isn't it?
Copy !req
692. Well,
it certainly is to me, sir
Copy !req
693. I can't make head nor tail
of this whole thing
Copy !req
694. You'll have to excuse me
I have
I have things to do here
Copy !req
695. You'll appreciate we all
have to do our little bits
from time to time
Copy !req
696. If I can help you
in any way whatsoever,
Copy !req
697. please don't
hesitate to contact me,
now that you know where I am
Copy !req
698. Oh,
thank you very much, sir
Copy !req
699. Thank you
Copy !req
700. Good day, sir
Copy !req
701. Good afternoon, sir
Copy !req
702. Nelson
Copy !req
703. Good to see you again
Copy !req
704. And you
Copy !req
705. Would you care
for some coffee or
Copy !req
706. I didn't
fly out from Washington
to have coffee, Nelson
Copy !req
707. What happened here?
Copy !req
708. Oh, you mean Geronimo?
Copy !req
709. Yes, damn it, Geronimo
Copy !req
710. Well, it was all set
Copy !req
711. A meeting was arranged
for him with a representative
of Steinmetz,
Copy !req
712. and the next thing I knew,
he was dead
Copy !req
713. Do you think
Steinmetz did it?
Copy !req
714. Most unlikely
Copy !req
715. We'll have to have
someone pay him a visit
Copy !req
716. I wouldn't advise that, sir,
even if you could find him
Copy !req
717. You see, he still
has the microfilm,
Copy !req
718. and after all, that is
our primary objective,
is it not?
Copy !req
719. Yes, you're right
Copy !req
720. As far as I can tell,
it was a simple mugging
Copy !req
721. Of all the ways
to lose a top operator
Yes
Copy !req
722. It's unbelievable!
It is
Copy !req
723. We're running late,
sir
Copy !req
724. I'm
I'm sorry about this, sir
Copy !req
725. Yes, well,
I had to be in Mexico City
this afternoon anyway
Copy !req
726. You know
a Lieutenant Columbo?
Copy !req
727. Oh, yes, indeed
He's a local
homicide officer
Copy !req
728. He discovered that
I was with Geronimo
Copy !req
729. a few hours
before he was killed
Copy !req
730. He's running
a check on you
Copy !req
731. That's understandable,
Copy !req
732. but I made the excuse
that I was trying to
get him to join my firm
Copy !req
733. Place him
under surveillance
Copy !req
734. Very well
Copy !req
735. We don't want
any locals finding out
about our operations
Copy !req
736. All right, sir
Have a good trip
Copy !req
737. Right Bye, Nelson
Copy !req
738. All right
Copy !req
739. Change my itinerary
Copy !req
740. I'll be coming back here
from Mexico City
Copy !req
741. Yes, sir
Copy !req
742. That's him
That's the guy
Copy !req
743. Melville
Copy !req
744. Is that his name?
Copy !req
745. Well, that's the guy
that followed your man
out of the bar
Copy !req
746. You're sure?
Copy !req
747. Sure, I'm sure
Copy !req
748. Melville?
Melville
Copy !req
749. Well, that's the guy
Copy !req
750. Lawrence Melville?
Copy !req
751. Yeah I'm Melville
Copy !req
752. Lieutenant Columbo,
LAPD
Copy !req
753. Sure I was having
a drink at Sinbad's,
Copy !req
754. but I don't know
no AJ Henderson
Copy !req
755. The bartender said
you followed him out
Copy !req
756. He's mistaken, man
Copy !req
757. Come down
to headquarters tomorrow
We'll talk about it then
Copy !req
758. Okay I'll be there
Copy !req
759. Good afternoon, sir
Copy !req
760. Lieutenant Columbo,
what an unexpected pleasure
Copy !req
761. I know it's Sunday
I was in the neighborhood
Copy !req
762. This is quite a place
you have here, and remote
Copy !req
763. I had a hard time
finding it
Copy !req
764. How did you get in?
Copy !req
765. Oh, the gate
It was open
I just drove
Copy !req
766. Oh, did you?
Excuse me
Copy !req
767. You remember
Yvonne and Bob here?
Copy !req
768. I have to leave you
for a moment
Copy !req
769. I'll see you
a little later Eli!
Copy !req
770. Would you care for a drink,
Lieutenant?
Copy !req
771. Thank you very much
Copy !req
772. But I could use
one of those
Copy !req
773. Help yourself
Copy !req
774. Thank you very much
Copy !req
775. I'm really sorry
to bust in on you
like this,
Copy !req
776. but I'm sure
you'll understand
Copy !req
777. I'm just a policeman,
and wherever the line
takes me,
Copy !req
778. that's where
I have to go
Copy !req
779. I have the same
problem myself
Copy !req
780. from time to time
Copy !req
781. Thank you very much,
Eli
Copy !req
782. Shall we move away
from the madding crowd
Copy !req
783. and talk in a little more
Copy !req
784. peace and quiet?
Copy !req
785. I think I explained
my one little deception
to you
Copy !req
786. As far as I can see,
there's nothing else to tell
Copy !req
787. Not quite, sir
Copy !req
788. You still haven't told me
where you were when
Mr Henderson was killed
Copy !req
789. Oh, I see what
you're after now
Copy !req
790. Well, let me see
if I can tell you
Copy !req
791. I returned to my office
that evening
Copy !req
792. I wrote down
and dictated
Copy !req
793. the speech for Defonte
You remember the one
Copy !req
794. You were there
You heard it
Copy !req
795. You can check with
my secretary if you like
Copy !req
796. Her name's Ruth
Copy !req
797. Lieutenant,
Copy !req
798. I think that I should
warn you that I am not
an unworldly man
Copy !req
799. I have powerful
and important friends
Copy !req
800. even in
the police department
Copy !req
801. I respectfully request
Copy !req
802. that you do not
Copy !req
803. harass me
Copy !req
804. Why, sir,
I would never do that
Copy !req
805. I know
I understand your problem,
but you must understand mine
Copy !req
806. It's a very
bizarre situation
Copy !req
807. Because of
a misplaced confidence
Copy !req
808. in a man
that I knew as Henderson,
Copy !req
809. I find myself in this
Copy !req
810. ridiculous predicament
with you
Copy !req
811. Oh, and it's all
very understandable, sir
Copy !req
812. As a matter of fact,
I have a lead on that
suspect that I mentioned
Copy !req
813. Do you?
Copy !req
814. Do you know
a Lawrence Melville?
Copy !req
815. Melville
Copy !req
816. No, I don't
Copy !req
817. And this time
I'm not lying to you
Copy !req
818. He's black, 28,
and been arrested
and convicted for assault
Copy !req
819. Do you know whether or not
Henderson knew Melville?
Copy !req
820. I didn't know Melville,
I hardly knew Henderson
Copy !req
821. As a matter of fact,
I didn't know
Henderson at all
Copy !req
822. Do muggers usually
know their victims?
Copy !req
823. No, sir, at least
not on a personal basis,
Copy !req
824. but I have a hunch that
Melville isn't a mugger
Copy !req
825. Now you're confusing me,
Lieutenant
Copy !req
826. Well, you see, sir,
Henderson was hit once
Copy !req
827. right here
Copy !req
828. Mmmhmm
Copy !req
829. And then
when he went down,
the assailant hit him again
Copy !req
830. on the back of the neck,
right here at the base
of the skull
Copy !req
831. Hmm
Copy !req
832. Mr Henderson
must have known him,
Copy !req
833. otherwise how did he get
hit from the front?
Copy !req
834. Couldn't the mugger
have asked him
for his valuables,
Copy !req
835. and when he was refused,
then hit him from the front?
Copy !req
836. Oh, it could've
happened that way,
no doubt about it
Copy !req
837. Well, isn't it true
there was no identification
on Henderson's person?
Copy !req
838. Right Nothing at all
Copy !req
839. And isn't it logical then,
to assume
Copy !req
840. that the mugger
took the victim's
cash and credit cards?
Copy !req
841. Oh, they were removed,
all right
Copy !req
842. Then why are you making
more out of it than that?
Copy !req
843. His coat was off
Copy !req
844. His coat was off?
Copy !req
845. Yes
Copy !req
846. That's it?
Copy !req
847. That's it
Copy !req
848. Except for the life of me,
I cannot figure out
Copy !req
849. why would a mugger
take off a victim's coat
Copy !req
850. unless he was gonna remove
something other than cash
or credit cards
Copy !req
851. Well, not being a mugger,
Copy !req
852. I'm afraid
I can't help you there
Copy !req
853. Tell me,
Copy !req
854. how did you first
come upon this Melville
as a suspect?
Copy !req
855. He was seen at Sinbad's
following Henderson out
Copy !req
856. Seems as though you've got
a pretty tight case
Copy !req
857. No Too many loose ends
Copy !req
858. I bring this into the DA,
he'd shoot me right down
Copy !req
859. I better run along, sir
Copy !req
860. I'm sorry to have
interrupted your Sunday
Copy !req
861. Not at all
Copy !req
862. I've enjoyed
speaking to you
Copy !req
863. once again
Copy !req
864. I'll see you to your car
Copy !req
865. This will be your car
Copy !req
866. Yes, sir There are
only three like it
in the country
Copy !req
867. Interesting model
Allow me
Copy !req
868. Just between us, sir
Mmmhmm?
Copy !req
869. Somebody's following me
Copy !req
870. Now, who would be
following a cop?
Copy !req
871. Well, that's what
I'm trying to figure out
Copy !req
872. Can't be
the collection company
The car's paid for
Copy !req
873. Take care
Copy !req
874. Hello
Copy !req
875. This is Steinmetz
Copy !req
876. I received your message
Copy !req
877. Two miles north
of the small grocery store
in Topanga Canyon,
Copy !req
878. make a left
Copy !req
879. Four hundred yards
Copy !req
880. 10:30 tonight
Copy !req
881. Be sure you're
not followed
Copy !req
882. You are here
Copy !req
883. Mr Steinmetz
Copy !req
884. You scared
the hell out of me!
Copy !req
885. Come, my car Come
Copy !req
886. Be careful
Copy !req
887. Always be careful
Copy !req
888. Careful?
This is spooky
Copy !req
889. Why are we meeting
way out here
in the boondocks?
Copy !req
890. Here Here
Copy !req
891. You go in front
Copy !req
892. No, wait
Copy !req
893. Wait
Copy !req
894. When first you work for me,
I tell you explicit,
Copy !req
895. this is very serious
business you are in
Copy !req
896. I know
And you laid down some
heavy bread to back it up
Copy !req
897. But if I'd have known
it was gonna be
this serious,
Copy !req
898. I'd have stayed
in the street
Copy !req
899. Of what do you talk?
Copy !req
900. I'm talking about heat
Copy !req
901. from some heavy little
dude named Columbo,
Copy !req
902. and I'm talking about
that government man
Copy !req
903. you put me next to
that's now dead
Copy !req
904. I am aware of this
Copy !req
905. And you're also
aware it's my head
that's on the chopping block?
Copy !req
906. When you are in
the business of buying
and selling information
Copy !req
907. on the international market,
Copy !req
908. you will have to
have sometimes
Copy !req
909. a little heat
Copy !req
910. Well, listen, they got
enough on me now
to put me away!
Copy !req
911. Did you kill him?
Copy !req
912. No, I didn't kill him
Copy !req
913. I did what you told me to do,
that's all
Copy !req
914. Then you have
nothing to worry about
Copy !req
915. How did the man die,
Mr Steinmetz?
Copy !req
916. I don't know
Copy !req
917. I do not know
Copy !req
918. It was not
a part of my venture
I do not know
Copy !req
919. Well, what happens now?
Copy !req
920. Well, we have to
reestablish contact
with the other people
Copy !req
921. What do I tell the cop?
Copy !req
922. Nothing
Copy !req
923. Nothing!
Copy !req
924. But they asked me
about if I know
a man named Brenner
Copy !req
925. That is good
It means they
have a suspect
Copy !req
926. You just relax
Copy !req
927. Well, okay
That's all I wanted
Copy !req
928. Just a little
down home reassurance
Copy !req
929. You take this key to this car
and take this car tonight
Copy !req
930. This car? What for?
Copy !req
931. This is a cover car
for another member
of my organization
Copy !req
932. It has to be
at Sixth and Alvarado
Copy !req
933. by midnight tonight
Copy !req
934. What about my car?
Copy !req
935. Your car will be at your home
by the time you return
Copy !req
936. You sure are strange,
Mr Steinmetz
Copy !req
937. It's a strange world
Copy !req
938. From now,
Copy !req
939. you will be paid
week by week
Copy !req
940. Now you're talking
Copy !req
941. We still use
the same drop site?
Copy !req
942. Mmmhmm
Until I tell you that
we are going to change it
Copy !req
943. Take care of that car,
it's my pride and joy
Copy !req
944. Sixth and Alvarado,
here I come
Copy !req
945. You should've talked
to us
Copy !req
946. I should've talked
to somebody
Copy !req
947. But I didn't do
nothing wrong, no, sir
Copy !req
948. Hey, how's this?
Copy !req
949. No, no He looked
a lot older than that
Copy !req
950. He had a big nose,
and the nose
Copy !req
951. Where did you say
you met this Steinmetz, again?
Copy !req
952. In a bar In a
Copy !req
953. Lookit He
Listen, he had a moustache
Okay Okay Yeah
Copy !req
954. In a bar?
He laid some bread down,
Copy !req
955. knew everything about me
My record
Copy !req
956. And you don't know
how to get in touch
with him?
Copy !req
957. Like I told you,
we had this drop site
Copy !req
958. It's like a mailbox
where we leave messages
Copy !req
959. We just exchanged them,
that's all
Copy !req
960. No, lookie here
You got to put the glasses
Copy !req
961. and then take this off
all over here
Copy !req
962. Take it off this copy,
and get this moustache right
Copy !req
963. Yeah Yeah Yeah
Copy !req
964. like a goatee on there
Okay
Copy !req
965. What about the credit cards
in the glove compartment?
They belong to Henderson
Copy !req
966. Look, I'm telling you
I don't know nothing
about that
Copy !req
967. I swear, it's like I told
that Lieutenant Columbo
Copy !req
968. I didn't touch that man
We just talked about
this microfilm, that's all
Copy !req
969. That's all we did,
honest, Sergeant
Copy !req
970. Hey, how's this?
This okay?
Copy !req
971. Yeah
Copy !req
972. That's Mr Steinmetz
Copy !req
973. Now you're getting
close to him
Copy !req
974. All you got to do
is just make him
a little older,
Copy !req
975. get him a little tighter
under here, his nose
was just bigger,
Copy !req
976. glasses off the
You got him, though
Copy !req
977. I can't absolutely
verify that Mr Brenner
came back that night
Copy !req
978. and wrote his speech
Copy !req
979. But that's what he said
he was going to do
Copy !req
980. And you found the tape
sitting on your desk
Copy !req
981. when you came in
the following morning?
Copy !req
982. Right At 9:00
Copy !req
983. I typed it up and
gave it to Mr Brenner
shortly before 10:00,
Copy !req
984. when he rushed in,
picked it up
Copy !req
985. and went off
to his meeting
with Mr Defonte
Copy !req
986. Good morning
Copy !req
987. Good morning, Mr Brenner
Copy !req
988. Morning, Ruth
Copy !req
989. Good morning, sir
Copy !req
990. This way, Mr Columbo
Copy !req
991. No calls
Copy !req
992. for five minutes
Copy !req
993. What the hell
are you doing here?
Copy !req
994. Mr Brenner,
you told me yourself
Copy !req
995. that I should check
with your secretary
That's what I'm doing
Copy !req
996. That was before
your suspect turned up with
Henderson's credit cards
Copy !req
997. How do you know that, sir?
Copy !req
998. I told you already,
Lieutenant, I have friends
in the police department
Copy !req
999. I have friends
across the country
All over the world
Copy !req
1000. I also know
Copy !req
1001. that your suspect
Copy !req
1002. has accused
a man named Steinmetz
of trying to kill him
Copy !req
1003. Your information
is very good, sir
Copy !req
1004. We don't believe that
Steinmetz wanted him dead
Copy !req
1005. You don't?
Copy !req
1006. The officer
from the bomb squad
told us that
Copy !req
1007. if you wanted a man dead,
Copy !req
1008. you'd use a lot more
plastic explosives in the car
than what we found
Copy !req
1009. And you would put it
in the engine
Copy !req
1010. rather than
in the driver's door
Copy !req
1011. I fail to understand you
Copy !req
1012. You have suspects
all over the place
Copy !req
1013. You have Melville,
you have Steinmetz
Copy !req
1014. and yet you still insist on
Copy !req
1015. suspecting me
Copy !req
1016. Yes, sir,
I do feel you are involved,
I have to admit that
Copy !req
1017. Did anyone see me
on the pier?
Copy !req
1018. The answer is no
Copy !req
1019. Do I know Melville?
Again the answer is negative
Copy !req
1020. I could go on and on,
but I suggest that
we leave it where it is
Copy !req
1021. Your secretary
doesn't provide
an alibi at all, sir
Copy !req
1022. You simply told her
that you were
coming back here
Copy !req
1023. Can you prove that
you actually did come back?
Copy !req
1024. As you well know,
these offices are empty
in the evening
Copy !req
1025. and I don't need to prove it
Copy !req
1026. Neither do I
require an alibi
Copy !req
1027. If you have
an accusation to make,
Copy !req
1028. do it
Copy !req
1029. No accusation
Copy !req
1030. In that event, good morning
Copy !req
1031. And, Lieutenant,
Copy !req
1032. let me assure you that
you are delving into areas
Copy !req
1033. over which you have
no authority
Copy !req
1034. For the last time
I ask you,
Copy !req
1035. don't harass me
Copy !req
1036. Colorado
calling the Director
Copy !req
1037. Now entering
Travel Town, out
Copy !req
1038. Here you are, honey
Copy !req
1039. Thank you
Copy !req
1040. How goes it, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
1041. I can't complain, Arthur
How's by you?
Copy !req
1042. Don't ask
How's your dog?
Copy !req
1043. He's swimming
Copy !req
1044. Is this charred enough
for you, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
1045. Yeah, that's perfect
Copy !req
1046. Where's he swimming?
Copy !req
1047. Well, a fellow down the block
built a pool,
Copy !req
1048. so he goes over there
in the mornings
Copy !req
1049. Leave me his address,
Lieutenant I wanna join him!
Copy !req
1050. Art, it's just
a normalsized pool
It's not a lake
Copy !req
1051. Two hot dogs
Copy !req
1052. Hey, you know you're pretty?
Copy !req
1053. Did you know that?
Copy !req
1054. No
Huh?
Copy !req
1055. Sure you are
Copy !req
1056. You know it, huh?
Copy !req
1057. I don't blame you
Copy !req
1058. Is that your sister?
Copy !req
1059. Mmmhmm
Copy !req
1060. You're pretty, too
Copy !req
1061. Thank you
Copy !req
1062. You guys got a dog?
Yeah
Copy !req
1063. You know where my dog is?
Copy !req
1064. No
Copy !req
1065. He's swimming
Copy !req
1066. He goes swimming
every morning
Copy !req
1067. I didn't know
that dog swims
Copy !req
1068. Oh, he can swim
Copy !req
1069. He can swim
just like a fish
Copy !req
1070. You know
what his name is?
Copy !req
1071. What?
Dog
Copy !req
1072. Just plain old Dog?
Copy !req
1073. Yeah
Copy !req
1074. That's what I call him
Just Dog Nothing else
Copy !req
1075. Let's take a walk
Copy !req
1076. See you later
Copy !req
1077. This way
Copy !req
1078. Inside
Copy !req
1079. Come in
Copy !req
1080. Watch your step
Copy !req
1081. I hope you don't mind
Copy !req
1082. I don't carry a gun, sir
Copy !req
1083. It's not a gun
we're looking for
Copy !req
1084. I know you've seen that
Copy !req
1085. Yes, sir
Copy !req
1086. What is it that
he is looking for?
Copy !req
1087. A bug
Copy !req
1088. I don't have any bugs, sir
Copy !req
1089. Now, you don't mind
if I satisfy myself
in that regard?
Copy !req
1090. No, sir
Copy !req
1091. Now, I want you
to look at this
Copy !req
1092. I want you to pay
strict attention
Copy !req
1093. You're the head man?
Copy !req
1094. Yes
Copy !req
1095. It's only
on rare occasions
Copy !req
1096. I take a local
law enforcement officer
into my confidence
Copy !req
1097. Only when the situation
absolutely warrants it
Copy !req
1098. Whatever it is, sir,
Copy !req
1099. I won't breathe a word
Copy !req
1100. Good
Copy !req
1101. Now, it seems
in your investigation
of a homicide,
Copy !req
1102. you stumbled upon
one of my most valued
counterintelligence men
Copy !req
1103. I have?
Copy !req
1104. He is, in fact, in charge
of the West Coast region
Copy !req
1105. A lot of sensitive,
highly important
information
Copy !req
1106. from the Pacific
and South America
Copy !req
1107. funnels through him
Copy !req
1108. I had no idea
Copy !req
1109. I realize that
That's why I am here
Copy !req
1110. Nelson Brenner's cover
is deep and foolproof
Copy !req
1111. All the more reason
to emphasize
the confidentiality
Copy !req
1112. of our conversation
Copy !req
1113. Nelson Brenner
Copy !req
1114. Well,
Copy !req
1115. that certainly explains
a great many strange things
Copy !req
1116. I thought it would
Copy !req
1117. Hey, can we come up,
please?
Copy !req
1118. Let's walk
Copy !req
1119. Whatever inconsistencies
bother you, Lieutenant,
Copy !req
1120. come as a direct result
of Brenner trying
to protect the Agency
Copy !req
1121. It's fantastic
Copy !req
1122. I hope you understand
Copy !req
1123. I ran a check on this man
I sent to Washington
Copy !req
1124. Yes, I know
I got it right here
in my pocket
Copy !req
1125. You'd never know
this man was a spy
Copy !req
1126. Operator
Copy !req
1127. Operator?
Copy !req
1128. Operator
Spy's old hat
Copy !req
1129. They're referred to
as operators
Copy !req
1130. What do you fellows do?
You fabricate this stuff here?
Copy !req
1131. Pleased to have met you,
Lieutenant
Copy !req
1132. Likewise, sir
Copy !req
1133. One more thing, sir
This will only take a moment
Copy !req
1134. Are you familiar
with a man named Steinmetz?
Copy !req
1135. Forget about him
Copy !req
1136. But you do know him?
Copy !req
1137. Yes Forget about him
Copy !req
1138. Sir, I do have
a murder on my hands
Copy !req
1139. I'm painfully aware
of that, Lieutenant
Copy !req
1140. The man you know as Henderson
was one of my best operators
Copy !req
1141. But, you see, sir,
Copy !req
1142. this Mr Steinmetz,
in my judgment,
Copy !req
1143. is somehow
implicated here,
Copy !req
1144. and I can't find
a trace of him
Copy !req
1145. Neither can we
Copy !req
1146. And we've been after him
a lot longer than you have
Copy !req
1147. But we'll get him,
one of these days
Copy !req
1148. One more thing, sir
Copy !req
1149. Do your operators carry a gun?
Copy !req
1150. They do
Copy !req
1151. What'll it be, sir?
Copy !req
1152. Give me two
Copy !req
1153. Two gallons, sir?
Copy !req
1154. No $2, please
Copy !req
1155. Wait a minute!
Copy !req
1156. Right
Copy !req
1157. All right Go ahead
Copy !req
1158. What'll it be?
Copy !req
1159. Gas Just regular gas
Copy !req
1160. Make it $3
Copy !req
1161. Make it $325
Copy !req
1162. $345,
Copy !req
1163. $355
Copy !req
1164. Oh, gee
Copy !req
1165. Want me to wipe
your windshield, sir?
Copy !req
1166. No, that's all right
Don't bother
I can see through it
Copy !req
1167. Just keep it rolling
Keep it rolling!
Copy !req
1168. All right
Copy !req
1169. Forty What's up there now?
Copy !req

Copy !req
1175. I have $380
What do I have now?
Copy !req
1176. Gentleman over there
thinks you could use this,
sir
Copy !req
1177. Gentleman over where?
Copy !req
1178. Over here, sir
Copy !req
1179. I just met the Director
Copy !req
1180. The head man
Copy !req
1181. Yes, I know
Copy !req
1182. You know already?
Copy !req
1183. I knew before
Copy !req
1184. You knew it before
that I met him?
Copy !req
1185. I knew it before
that you were going
to meet him
Copy !req
1186. Jeez,
the way you guys operate
Copy !req
1187. It's fantastic
Copy !req
1188. We could use
a couple of guys like you
down in the department
Copy !req
1189. All the lies
are explained now
Copy !req
1190. Yes, sir
I guess they are
Copy !req
1191. It's a weight
off my mind, too
Copy !req
1192. In fact,
Copy !req
1193. I'm going to take
the rest of the day off
Copy !req
1194. Why don't you join me
Copy !req
1195. up at my house
for a cocktail or something,
Copy !req
1196. and we can
discuss old times
You rather fascinate me
Copy !req
1197. Oh, that's very,

Copy !req

a couple of things
I gotta do
Copy !req
1199. Sir, we have
other customers

1235. The Discovery of America
Copy !req
1236. I think I'm just gonna leave
this $10 here on the table,

that kind of a fix again
Copy !req
1370. Safe journey

1371. Oh, I almost forgot
Copy !req
1372. This is a sketch
that we worked up
on Steinmetz
Copy !req
1373. Melville says that this is
a reasonable facsimile
Copy !req
1374. Steinmetz
Copy !req
1375. So this is Steinmetz?
Copy !req
1376. You've never
seen him before?
Copy !req
1377. No
Copy !req
1378. No, I have never seen him
Copy !req

1381. By telephone or through
a representative of his

1382. I see
Copy !req

every Steinmetz in the city
Copy !req
1384. and so far I haven't been
able to find anyone
Copy !req
1385. who even comes close
to this description
Copy !req
1386. Well, by now, Lieutenant,
you should know that
no one in our business
Copy !req
1387. is ever who he says he is
Copy !req
1388. Of course
Copy !req
1389. I should've
known that myself
Copy !req
1390. By the way, may I have
a copy of that
Copy !req
1391. for our leader,
the Director?
Copy !req
1392. Why don't you take
this one, sir?
Copy !req

it's in the files
Copy !req
1401. Do you mind bringing
one in, please? Thank you
Copy !req
1402. Columbo
Copy !req
1403. You'll like that
Copy !req
1404. Isn't that unusual,
to get a speech
Copy !req
1405. just a halfhour
before you're gonna
deliver it?
Copy !req
1406. No No, no
Because I read it twice,
Copy !req
1407. it make an impression
in my mind, like this
Really?
Copy !req
1408. You know, me,
sometimes I forget
my own telephone number
Copy !req
1409. Thank you, Della
Very nice Very nice
Copy !req
1410. Let me see
if this is the speech
Copy !req
1411. Suppose you want it
rewritten?
Copy !req
1412. There's no time
Copy !req
1413. Rewritten? For what?
Copy !req
1414. Nelson, he writes a speech,
Copy !req
1415. says just what I want
to say, that's all
Copy !req
1416. Then he adds a touch of
spaghetti humor, you know?
And everything's all right
Copy !req
1417. Oh, he's brilliant, Columbo
Copy !req
1418. Brilliant man! Very
Copy !req
1419. Is it possible
that I take this?
Copy !req
1420. Sure I have
a copy here, you know
Copy !req
1421. Thank you very much
Copy !req
1422. It's so nice meeting you
Copy !req
1423. Is it possible to have
a few more grapes?
Copy !req
1424. Grapes? Oh!
Is it possible you ask?
Look at that
Copy !req
1425. No! No!
Copy !req
1426. Come on!
It's such a pleasure
to talking to a paisano
Copy !req
1427. Grazie
Copy !req
1428. Listen,
you be sure to call me
Copy !req
1429. We have lunch together,
all right?
Copy !req
1430. Arrivederci, Columbo
Copy !req
1431. Ciao
Copy !req
1432. Lets get back to earth
Copy !req
1433. Good morning,
Mr Brenner
lm a simple farmer
Copy !req
1434. in the lmperial Valley
Copy !req
1435. It just happens to be
400 miles wide, thats all
Copy !req
1436. Good morning
Copy !req
1437. My papa, from whom
I learned the business,
Copy !req
1438. told me years ago
when I started out,
Copy !req
1439. Salvatore,
to be a successful,
Copy !req
1440. you gotta know two things
Copy !req
1441. Who buys
and who sells your crop
Copy !req
1442. And the weather
Copy !req
1443. Well, we gotta the water
down in our Valley
Copy !req
1444. That takes care
of the weather
Copy !req
1445. This is important
Copy !req
1446. Your secretary
was kind enough
to provide this tape
Copy !req
1447. Of course,
I have a warrant for it
Copy !req
1448. You told a lot of lies,
sir
Copy !req
1449. Of course, most of them
can be explained
Copy !req
1450. in your capacity as a spy,
but not the big one
Copy !req
1451. Not your whereabouts
at the time of the murder
Copy !req
1452. What strikes you
about this picture?
Copy !req
1453. The T33 Silverstar
Copy !req
1454. I see that you visited
with me again
Copy !req
1455. In my absence
Copy !req
1456. I have a warrant for that,
too, sir
Copy !req
1457. You have a warrant
for everything
Copy !req
1458. What strikes you
about that picture?
Copy !req
1459. I was younger
and more beautiful then
Copy !req
1460. Not that it was taken
15 years ago in Korea?
Copy !req
1461. Not the fact that,
at that time,
Copy !req
1462. your hairline is receding
Copy !req
1463. How stupid of me
Copy !req
1464. What strikes me, sir,
looking at you now,
15 years later,
Copy !req
1465. is that you now have
a healthy crop of hair
Copy !req
1466. Luxuriant
Copy !req
1467. I wear a piece
Copy !req
1468. A hairpiece
Copy !req
1469. That's what
I told the art guy
down at headquarters
Copy !req
1470. I said, "Figure
this fellow to be bald,"
Copy !req
1471. and working on
that assumption, sir,
Copy !req
1472. he took an air brush
Copy !req
1473. and he removed
all your hair
Copy !req
1474. This is the same picture
Copy !req
1475. Removed all of it?
Copy !req
1476. Yes
Copy !req
1477. And then he put on a wig
Copy !req
1478. and he added a moustache
and a beard and some glasses
Copy !req
1479. Steinmetz!
Copy !req
1480. Our dear old friend
Mr Steinmetz
Copy !req
1481. That's marvelous
Very clever fellows
you've got
Copy !req
1482. It's really wonderful
Copy !req
1483. I want you
to hear the tape
Copy !req
1484. Yes I'll hear it
By all means, go ahead
Copy !req
1485. It's terrific
Copy !req
1486. Pay strict attention
to the early part
Copy !req
1487. Speech for Mr Defonte
Copy !req
1488. to be delivered before
the Commodity Brokers
luncheon
Copy !req
1489. Right here
Copy !req
1490. That sound
Copy !req
1491. That sound, sir,
is the closing
of Venetian blinds
Copy !req
1492. That's the sound
Copy !req
1493. So I closed the blinds
What's so special about that?
Copy !req
1494. That direction is east
Copy !req
1495. Please don't give me
a lesson in geography
Copy !req
1496. At five minutes past six,
the sun came up
Copy !req
1497. An hour or so later,
give or take
a few moments,
Copy !req
1498. the sun angles
into the building
in this direction
Copy !req
1499. and it hits right here
at your desk
Copy !req
1500. You came in
the following morning, sir,
Copy !req
1501. to finish your speech
Copy !req
1502. And you sat down
Copy !req
1503. and when you
started to dictate,
Copy !req
1504. the early morning sun
got in your eyes
Copy !req
1505. and you then arose,
Copy !req
1506. went to the window
Copy !req
1507. and closed the blinds
Copy !req
1508. I see
Copy !req
1509. I closed the blinds
Copy !req
1510. for privacy
Copy !req
1511. But you're on
the third floor, sir
Yes
Copy !req
1512. Why would you
require privacy?
Copy !req
1513. Well, there are
other buildings
in the neighborhood
Copy !req
1514. Higher buildings
Copy !req
1515. But they're all
office buildings, sir
Copy !req
1516. There's no one
in them at night
Copy !req
1517. This is an office building
I was in it at night
Copy !req
1518. Why should not
other people be
in their offices?
Copy !req
1519. Why don't you
play the tape,
Copy !req
1520. carry on from there,
Copy !req
1521. and you will see that,
in fact,
Copy !req
1522. it had to be night
Copy !req
1523. Any particular section,
sir?
Copy !req
1524. Right on, from there
Copy !req
1525. Now,
you listen very carefully
Copy !req
1526. First of all,
Id like to thank
Copy !req
1527. the officers
of your association
for inviting me here
Copy !req
1528. It seems like only yesterday
I was crushing the grapes
in my fathers vineyard
Copy !req
1529. If you don't believe me,
III show you the bottom
of my feet
Copy !req
1530. One foot still has
a cabernet stain
There!
Copy !req
1531. and the other
There! Did you hear that?
Copy !req
1532. a Chablis
Yes, sir I heard it
Copy !req
1533. You heard the chimes?
Copy !req
1534. These guys with law degrees
I did
Copy !req
1535. Did you count them?
Copy !req
1536. they give you
Yes, sir There are 11
Copy !req
1537. Eleven?
Copy !req
1538. So it had to be
11:00 at night
Copy !req
1539. It could not have been
11:00 in the morning
Copy !req
1540. You can check
with my secretary
Copy !req
1541. No, sir It couldn't
have been at night
Copy !req
1542. Couldn't have been night
Copy !req
1543. feel
about overproduction,
but its gonna be all right
Copy !req
1544. Theres a food shortage
all over the world
It had to be morning, sir
Copy !req
1545. Theres no reason
for the price to fall
Look at Southeast Asia
Copy !req
1546. They need our crops
more than ever now,
Copy !req
1547. because of the tragic events
there in the past 10 years
Copy !req
1548. This extra demand
for our extra supply
Copy !req
1549. is gonna make for
a proper marriage
in the market place
Copy !req
1550. And if youre worried
about the Chinese, don't be
Copy !req
1551. They may pull out
of the Olympics
but not out of the soybeans
Copy !req
1552. You've lost me again,
Mr Columbo
Copy !req
1553. I did some checking
Copy !req
1554. Newspapers, wire services,
TV newsrooms
Copy !req
1555. I checked everywhere,
Copy !req
1556. and I ended up calling
the Peking News Bureau
Copy !req
1557. Did you?
Copy !req
1558. And at 6:20 am
on the morning
of the Defonte speech,
Copy !req
1559. six hours and 20 minutes
past midnight,
Copy !req
1560. seven hours
and 20 minutes past the time
Copy !req
1561. that you claim
that you were writing
this speech,
Copy !req
1562. and to the shock
of the world,
Copy !req
1563. the Chinese pulled out
of the Olympics
Copy !req
1564. Did they?
Copy !req
1565. You couldn't have written
that speech the night before
Copy !req
1566. There's no way in the world
Copy !req
1567. It hadn't happened yet
Copy !req
1568. What made you stay on it?
Copy !req
1569. Was it the
Copy !req
1570. Was it the coat?
Copy !req
1571. Yes, sir
I couldn't figure out
why it was removed
Copy !req
1572. You see,
I know that a mugger
Copy !req
1573. can take a guy's money
without taking off his coat
Copy !req
1574. And then it occurred to me
that Mr Henderson
was a secret agent
Copy !req
1575. And that secret agents
wear guns
Copy !req
1576. Shoulder holsters
Copy !req
1577. And that Mr Henderson
Copy !req
1578. Had one
Copy !req
1579. was a secret agent
Copy !req
1580. He was
Copy !req
1581. And you couldn't afford
to have that fact known
Copy !req
1582. So, in order to remove
his shoulder holster
Copy !req
1583. I had to
Copy !req
1584. Remove the coat
remove the coat
Copy !req
1585. Why didn't you
put it back on again?
Copy !req
1586. Oh, I was going to,
Copy !req
1587. but apart from muggers
on the beach, Mr Columbo,
Copy !req
1588. they also have
loving couples
Copy !req
1589. And I was interrupted
Copy !req
1590. at the scene of the crime
Copy !req
1591. Would you like to hear
something funny?
Copy !req
1592. I'd love to
Copy !req
1593. Today, the Chinese,
Copy !req
1594. they changed their minds
Copy !req
1595. Did they, again?
Copy !req
1596. They're back in the Games
Copy !req
1597. In the Games
Copy !req
1598. Mah Jongg
Copy !req
1599. Mah Jongg
