1. I will kill him
like in the old days...Copy !req
2. with you assisting me.Copy !req
3. That is crazy.Copy !req
4. That sounds like blackmail.Copy !req
5. Lieutenant,Copy !req
6. would I do such a thing
to a fellow police officer?Copy !req
7. You're in no condition
to fight a bull.Copy !req
8. Maybe it was homicide.Copy !req
9. No man could have ripped
Rangel open in such a way.Copy !req
10. No, the bull
was the murder weapon, sir.Copy !req
11. Like a gun.Copy !req
12. Curro! Curro!Copy !req
13. Hello. Dr. Leon.Copy !req
14. Dr. Leon,
this is Luis Montoya.Copy !req
15. Fine, thank you.
Tell me, how is Curro doing?Copy !req
16. That's good news.
I'll tell his father.Copy !req
17. Then the bull did get him.
It's a minor wound?Copy !req
18. Well, that's a relief.
When he reawakens,Copy !req
19. will you tell him that I called?Copy !req
20. And tell him that
I'm going to San Diego...Copy !req
21. this evening with his father,Copy !req
22. but in the morning,
on the way back, I'll stop by.Copy !req
23. Thank you, Doctor. Goodbye.Copy !req
24. Enter.Copy !req
25. Matador?Copy !req
26. Excuse me, but do you wish the
convertible washed and waxed?Copy !req
27. No, I'll be using the hardtop.Copy !req
28. Have Carlos get it ready.Copy !req
29. The men were asking me
about Curro. How is he?Copy !req
30. Oh, he regained consciousness.
I just talked to the doctor.Copy !req
31. Yes, he'll be all right.Copy !req
32. Hector told us what you did,
Matador. It was a brave thing.Copy !req
33. Yes?Copy !req
34. These young ones, so foolish to
try to cape a bull like Marinaro.Copy !req
35. When Carlos is finished, give him
the rest of the day off.Copy !req
36. Tell all the men to take the rest
of the day off.Copy !req
37. - But...
- Yes, I know, I know.Copy !req
38. It's Friday and it's early.
But...Copy !req
39. yesterday, we nearly had
a tragedy and...Copy !req
40. tomorrow, the bulls must be
sent off early to the bullring...Copy !req
41. and I think everyone
could use a little time off.Copy !req
42. Matador, who do you
want to stay behind?Copy !req
43. Let them allCopy !req
44. Miguel can play caretaker
for the evening.Copy !req
45. Miguel!Copy !req
46. I saw some cows roaming outside
the south pasture.Copy !req
47. There must be a fence down.Copy !req
48. I will take a ride, senor,
and find out.Copy !req
49. Good.Copy !req
50. Miguel!Copy !req
51. To keep you company.Copy !req
52. Good mescal, senor.Copy !req
53. You touched the heart
of an old vaquero.Copy !req
54. I was hoping you'd change
your mind about leaving.Copy !req
55. You were right.Copy !req
56. Everything is different now.
I must leave.Copy !req
57. What do you want me
to tell the men?Copy !req
58. Tell them whatever you want to.Copy !req
59. You know, I can't send Marinaro
to the ring with the other bulls.Copy !req
60. He has seen your son's cape.
He has sentido now.Copy !req
61. I know. He is spoiled.
He knows too much.Copy !req
62. I'm going to kill him.Copy !req
63. But why? He will make
a very good seed bull.Copy !req
64. When Curro leaves the hospital,Copy !req
65. you know he'll want to
face Marinaro again.Copy !req
66. How do you know that?Copy !req
67. Leon told me that..Copy !req
68. Curro is determined to do it.Copy !req
69. Perhaps, but I don't think
my son is that crazy.Copy !req
70. I won't take that chance.Copy !req
71. That bull would
kill Curro this time.Copy !req
72. Luis, I do appreciate your concern.Copy !req
73. I know it is not easy to
destroy such a valuable bull.Copy !req
74. - But you don't have to...
- There are no "buts".Copy !req
75. I'm going to
kill Marinaro today...Copy !req
76. in the ring, face to face.Copy !req
77. Luis, you don't have to do that.Copy !req
78. I will kill him
like in the old days...Copy !req
79. with you assisting me.Copy !req
80. That is crazy.Copy !req
81. And you knowCopy !req
82. Look, we're both out of shape.Copy !req
83. That bull would
take at least five picks.Copy !req
84. Besides, your leg,Copy !req
85. it has been giving you
a lot of trouble lately.Copy !req
86. If you won't help me, my friend,
I'll have to do it alone.Copy !req
87. Curro is a son to me also.Copy !req
88. Oh, my God!Copy !req
89. Luis!Copy !req
90. Luis, I don't... Help me, Luis.Copy !req
91. Luis,Copy !req
92. help me.Copy !req
93. I don't...
I don't know what's wrong.Copy !req
94. I... Something's wrong.Copy !req
95. Luis, I was stung.Copy !req
96. No, Luis.Copy !req
97. Luis,Copy !req
98. what are you doing?Copy !req
99. Help me.Copy !req
100. I can't see straight.Copy !req
101. Luis, please.Copy !req
102. Luis.Copy !req
103. No.Copy !req
104. I have insurance,Copy !req
105. I have insurance
that'll pay for everything.Copy !req
106. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.Copy !req
107. Does anybody speak English?Copy !req
108. Speak English?
You speak English?Copy !req
109. Do you speak English?Copy !req
110. Just a minute now.Copy !req
111. What did she say?
What is he saying?Copy !req
112. Broken neck. Broke the neck.Copy !req
113. He broke the neck?
How'd he broke the neck?Copy !req
114. We were going 10 miles an hour.Copy !req
115. Tell him, tell him, we were
going five miles an hour.Copy !req
116. Five.Copy !req
117. Sir, your identification, please.Copy !req
118. My identification. Here.Copy !req
119. She said all your fault,
you hit her car.Copy !req
120. Insurance, insurance.Copy !req
121. Where is the man
who speaks English?Copy !req
122. Come over here. Come over here.Copy !req
123. Just a minute.
Where's that man that speaks...Copy !req
124. Just a minute, darling.Copy !req
125. Sehor, I have insurance.Copy !req
126. You don't have to take the car.
There is nothing wrong with the car.Copy !req
127. Senor, there is just
a dent in the fender.Copy !req
128. All right. One minute.
One minute.Copy !req
129. I have to get back to Los Angeles.Copy !req
130. I need my car. My wife is here.Copy !req
131. Yes, but what am I gonna do, walk?Copy !req
132. Is your name Columbo?Copy !req
133. Yes.Copy !req
134. Lieutenant Columbo?Copy !req
135. That's right.Copy !req
136. Los Angeles Police Department?Copy !req
137. That's right.Copy !req
138. I'm Comandante Emilio Sanchez.Copy !req
139. Pleased to meet you, Lieutenant.
I'm at your service.Copy !req
140. Listen, nothing happened.
That fellow wasn't hurt.Copy !req
141. I mean, the bumpers just touched.
They took my car. I gotta get back.Copy !req
142. I'm sorry, Lieutenant. You may go.
But the car has to stay.Copy !req
143. It's a matter of insurance.Copy !req
144. Oh, I got plenty of insurance...Copy !req
145. I'm afraid it's not valid
here in Mexico.Copy !req
146. You should have bought the coverage
when you drove over the border.Copy !req
147. Listen, my wife and I,
we gotta get back to LA.Copy !req
148. I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I'm sorry.Copy !req
149. I would like to extend to you
a professional courtesy,Copy !req
150. as a police officer
to a police officer,Copy !req
151. but the law
is very specific about it.Copy !req
152. Maybe you can go in a bus to
Los Angeles and come back on Monday.Copy !req
153. Oh, I couldn't do that. I need
the car. It's very special...Copy !req
154. - You are very special.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
155. We had it in all the newspapers
here in Mexico.Copy !req
156. That murder on the cruise ship.Copy !req
157. By the time you landed in Mexico,
you had unmasked the killer.Copy !req
158. - Oh, you heard about that.
- Yeah.Copy !req
159. Oh, that was a hell of a thing.
Gee... That was a...Copy !req
160. You know the first night out
the fellow murdered the girl,Copy !req
161. an entertainer?Copy !req
162. She went down to change her clothes
and she never came back.Copy !req
163. It was a cruise. My wife
bought a raffle ticket,Copy !req
164. we won a cruise
for nothing and got on,Copy !req
165. and I was seasick.
Oh, Til never forget that.Copy !req
166. Yeah, I would like
to hear more about it.Copy !req
167. Now that you're gonna remain
in the city for the weekend,Copy !req
168. maybe we could get together.Copy !req
169. I would be honored if you could join
my wife and me for dinner tonight.Copy !req
170. I thought I was gonna be arrested.Copy !req
171. Just a moment.Copy !req
172. I must go, Lieutenant.Copy !req
173. There's been a terrible accident
at the Montoya ranch.Copy !req
174. Maybe you'd like to accompany me.
We could talk on the way over.Copy !req
175. My wife is waiting at the hotel.Copy !req
176. All right. I understand.Copy !req
177. You know, I was
thinking that maybe...Copy !req
178. we could speed up the paperwork
on your accident.Copy !req
179. But of course, you have to
go to your wife. That's it.Copy !req
180. That sounds like blackmail.Copy !req
181. Lieutenant, would I do such a thing
to a fellow police officer?Copy !req
182. My house is your house, Lieutenant.Copy !req
183. Thank you very much.Copy !req
184. I can't tell you what a relief
it is that you speak English.Copy !req
185. Don Luis is the owner of
the ranch. He is a ganadero.Copy !req
186. Ganadero?Copy !req
187. At one time, I was paid handsomely
to fight bulls.Copy !req
188. Now I pay handsomely to raise them.
An expensive hobby, my friend.Copy !req
189. The dead man worked for
Don Luis for many years...Copy !req
190. at the ranch and before that,
as his assistant.Copy !req
191. A true friend, loyal, faithful,Copy !req
192. forgotten virtues these days.Copy !req
193. Just be a moment.Copy !req
194. Now Luis, tell me what happened.Copy !req
195. The shipping box broke and...Copy !req
196. Marinaro bolted into the ring...Copy !req
197. and then Curro Rangel, with muleta
and sword, jumped in.Copy !req
198. That was Thursday, right?Copy !req
199. Thursday.Copy !req
200. As soon as the boy eyed the bull,
I know the feeling from my own youth,Copy !req
201. he could not resist.Copy !req
202. He did surprisingly well
for a novice...Copy !req
203. but then he comes from good stock.
He's a brave boy.Copy !req
204. But the bull got him.Copy !req
205. Yes. A momentary lapse
of concentration,Copy !req
206. a sudden gust of wind that caught
the muleta, who can say?Copy !req
207. Hector managed to
drag Curro to safety...Copy !req
208. while I held the bull at bay, momentarily,
of course. With this leg of mine,Copy !req
209. I would not like to
take on that brute in earnest.Copy !req
210. - You're too modest, Don Luis.
- Yeah.Copy !req
211. Anyway, I could not guess that
Hector would climb into the ring...Copy !req
212. alone yesterday
after everyone was gone.Copy !req
213. Well, why would he do
a thing like that, sir?Copy !req
214. For his son, Lieutenant.Copy !req
215. Hector knew that Curro
would leave the hospital...Copy !req
216. to fight the bull again.Copy !req
217. Now, you gave all the men
the day off, right?Copy !req
218. Mmm-hmm. All but Miguel.Copy !req
219. I myself had to leave
for a speaking engagement...Copy !req
220. in San Diego at the Aficionado Club.Copy !req
221. And Hector was supposed
to come along with me,Copy !req
222. but at the last minute, he asked permission
to stay behind to work on the books.Copy !req
223. It appears now he had a...Copy !req
224. He had other plans in mind.Copy !req
225. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
226. Is that sehor Hector
driving your car?Copy !req
227. Hector Rangel.Copy !req
228. So, Hector Rangel must have
gotten into the ring...Copy !req
229. right after you left at 4:30.Copy !req
230. 4:30.Copy !req
231. He would have waited
until I was well on my way,Copy !req
232. walked to the ring,Copy !req
233. I'd say he faced the bull
at 5:00, perhaps 5:30.Copy !req
234. 5:00, 5:30. All right.Copy !req
235. I would like to
take a look at the body.Copy !req
236. Would you care to join me?Copy !req
237. As you wish.Copy !req
238. Lieutenant?Copy !req
239. Comandante,
how much is a bull like that worth?Copy !req
240. - Fighting bull?
- How much is it worth?Copy !req
241. I don't know.
But they're expensive.Copy !req
242. How much?Copy !req
243. - It all depends on the bull.
- Ask him.Copy !req
244. - Who, Luis?
- Yes.Copy !req
245. Don Luis,Copy !req
246. a bull like Marinaro,
how much he worth?Copy !req
247. $8,000. More with inflation.Copy !req
248. Seems like
a valuable piece of property...Copy !req
249. to destroy without permission.Copy !req
250. I'm sorry. I don't follow you.Copy !req
251. No, it just occurred to me that...Copy !req
252. Is there something
I can help you with?Copy !req
253. No, we were just
commenting on the fact that...Copy !req
254. the man that was killed, Hector Rangel,
that he was planning to destroy...Copy !req
255. a valuable piece of your property
without permission.Copy !req
256. He's dead.Copy !req
257. How can you judge
the behavior of a man...Copy !req
258. who almost lost his only son?Copy !req
259. Shall we, Luis?Copy !req
260. - Lieutenant?
- No, gracias.Copy !req
261. I see enough bodies when I'm working.
Thank you. I'll just look around.Copy !req
262. Okay.Copy !req
263. Oh, no.
I speak English, sehor.Copy !req
264. I am Jaime Delgado, the foreman.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
265. I was wondering. Could you answer
a question for me?Copy !req
266. I already told the Comandante
all I know, sehor.Copy !req
267. I was in town
when Rangel was killed.Copy !req
268. It was a very sad thing
that happened.Copy !req
269. yes, it was.Copy !req
270. Oh, no, no.
This is about bullfighting.Copy !req
271. I was wondering, could you tell me,Copy !req
272. do you think it's kind of late
in the afternoon...Copy !req
273. to be fighting a bull at 5:00, 5:30?Copy !req
274. I mean, because of the sun,
it's already down.Copy !req
275. No, sehor.Copy !req
276. It is the time that
all bullfights take place.Copy !req
277. You see, it's to
the bullfighter's advantage.Copy !req
278. And there's more than enough light
at this time of year.Copy !req
279. It shows you...
I don't know much about bullfighting.Copy !req
280. Yes.Copy !req
281. Is that all, sehor?Copy !req
282. You know,
I think my wife is right.Copy !req
283. Something wrong with me.Copy !req
284. Supposed to be on vacation
and right away,Copy !req
285. I'm thinking like a cop.Copy !req
286. It's called occupational hazard.Copy !req
287. "Occupational hazard?"
What is that?Copy !req
288. That's when wherever youCopy !req
289. you take your work with you.Copy !req
290. Oh, I see. We call that "loco".
Excuse me.Copy !req
291. Good afternoon, sir.Copy !req
292. Good afternoon, sir.Copy !req
293. This is a wonderful car.Copy !req
294. I always wanted a car
like this for myself.Copy !req
295. How long has sehor Montoya
had this car?Copy !req
296. Oh, for many years.Copy !req
297. I take the best care of it.Copy !req
298. Could I sit in?Copy !req
299. Sure. Go ahead.Copy !req
300. Oh, boy.Copy !req
301. This is a workout driving this car.Copy !req
302. No power gadgets on that one, sir.Copy !req
303. If you want power,
you gotta do it yourself.Copy !req
304. You know, it must be difficult
for sehor Montoya,Copy !req
305. I mean, with his bad leg.Copy !req
306. He'll never drive it.Copy !req
307. Hector will always do it for him.Copy !req
308. Hector.Copy !req
309. Yes. I remember
the pictures on the wall.Copy !req
310. Yeah, now that Hector's not here,Copy !req
311. probably he'll ask me
to drive it for him.Copy !req
312. So I guess sehor Montoya used
this car to go to San Diego in?Copy !req
313. Pretty smart, mister.Copy !req
314. That one is clean,
this one is dirty, huh?Copy !req
315. Me,Copy !req
316. I like a motorcycle,Copy !req
317. except that I crashed it up
last Monday,Copy !req
318. now they want to fix it,
2,500 pesos.Copy !req
319. They must be crazy.
They must think I own the place.Copy !req
320. When was the last time
this car was waxed?Copy !req
321. Oh...Copy !req
322. That must have been...Copy !req
323. Yeah, it was yesterday.Copy !req
324. The foreman of the ranch asked me
to wash it and wax it for him.Copy !req
325. He said that the patron was
gonna drive it up to San Diego.Copy !req
326. But I thought the workers,
they were let off early yesterday.Copy !req
327. What time was that?Copy !req
328. It must have been around 12:00.Copy !req
329. What are you asking me
all these questions for?Copy !req
330. Oh, I'm a policeman,
always ask questions.Copy !req
331. Thank you very much.Copy !req
332. Yeah.Copy !req
333. Wait a minute!Copy !req
334. Comandante Sanchez?
May I see the body?Copy !req
335. Go ahead.Copy !req
336. I didn't expect that.Copy !req
337. It's not a pretty sight,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
338. But as you say,
you have seen many bodies.Copy !req
339. You don't realize what a bull canCopy !req
340. The doctor said that...Copy !req
341. the wound inside his thigh
must have been the fatal one.Copy !req
342. It severed the femoral artery.Copy !req
343. Well, that would kill a man
pretty quick, wouldn't it?Copy !req
344. Oh, yes.Copy !req
345. That's the one the bullfighter
fears the most.Copy !req
346. Is that the one?Copy !req
347. Hmm?Copy !req
348. Yes. Marinaro.Copy !req
349. I don't know how you fight
those things to make a living.Copy !req
350. It's more than a living,
Lieutenant. It's a way of life.Copy !req
351. I'll tell you the truth, sir.Copy !req
352. I don't think I would
enjoy watching a man...Copy !req
353. kill an animal like that,
as big and as mean as he is.Copy !req
354. Perhaps you do enjoy
the spectacle of two men...Copy !req
355. in the prize ring
beating each other senseless.Copy !req
356. Or murdering an innocent deer
with a rifle.Copy !req
357. Or catching a fish with another one
which is still alive.Copy !req
358. Our culture is different
than yours, Lieutenant.Copy !req
359. No better or worse,
perhaps, but different.Copy !req
360. Excuse me.Copy !req
361. Senor Montoya,Copy !req
362. this doesn't look like
it's been used.Copy !req
363. I mean, it should be
ripped or something.Copy !req
364. Not if Marinaro got him quickly.Copy !req
365. He would start with this...Copy !req
366. to test
the bull's tendencies...Copy !req
367. and then he would cut him short
to break him down.Copy !req
368. Then...Copy !req
369. You see, Lieutenant,
a few little passes like...Copy !req
370. those leave no tears or...Copy !req
371. crease marks on the muleta,
as you can see.Copy !req
372. I see you are a thorough man,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
373. But the bull did kill Rangel.Copy !req
374. Yes, I can see that.Copy !req
375. But it's important to be thorough,Copy !req
376. especially when a man dies alone.Copy !req
377. Excuse me, I wanna
go look at the bull.Copy !req
378. Go ahead.Copy !req
379. Excuse me.Copy !req
380. Mr. Rangel himself would have to
open the gate, wouldn't he?Copy !req
381. Obviously.Copy !req
382. Well, when he opened the gate,
the bull would charge out, wouldn't he?Copy !req
383. Then Rangel closed the gate
and challenged the bull.Copy !req
384. But after he closed the gate,Copy !req
385. he would be standing
right over here, wouldn't he?Copy !req
386. Wouldn't the bull then turn around
and attack him?Copy !req
387. soon as he moved, yes.Copy !req
388. But the body was found over at
the other side of the ring.Copy !req
389. Lieutenant Columbo, a bull
that weighs 2,000 pounds...Copy !req
390. is capable of throwing a man
a horse all over this place.Copy !req
391. That explains it.Copy !req
392. Why is he tied up?Copy !req
393. The oxen that are needed
to keep him calm...Copy !req
394. are being used
somewhere else in the ranch.Copy !req
395. So until they can get them here,
he has to be left tied up.Copy !req
396. Otherwise, he would destroy that gate.Copy !req
397. - He's a big fellow, isn't he?
- Mmm—hmm.Copy !req
398. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
399. I hope you understand, Luis, that
the Lieutenant here is merely as my guest.Copy !req
400. has no official status.Copy !req
401. So inquisitive. I find him amusing.Copy !req
402. Have you seen this?Copy !req
403. Some kind of a skid mark...Copy !req
404. with a hole at the end.Copy !req
405. That looks like a pick mark.Copy !req
406. You see, this ring is used
to test the cows for bravery.Copy !req
407. When is the last time that you
tested cows in this ring, sir?Copy !req
408. A couple of weeks ago.
I don't remember.Copy !req
409. Because this looks
very fresh to me.Copy !req
410. Well, maybe it was made yesterday,Copy !req
411. or the day before yesterday
when you saved Curro's life.Copy !req
412. What's this?Copy !req
413. Let me see.Copy !req
414. Yes, this is part of the pick.
Probably splintered by one of the cows.Copy !req
415. You see, my cows
are very aggressive, Lieutenant.Copy !req
416. That's why they breed
such brave bulls.Copy !req
417. Gee, this looks awfully fresh to me.Copy !req
418. Yeah, and if Rangel used it
yesterday to fight Marinaro,Copy !req
419. there must be more around it.Copy !req
420. If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.Copy !req
421. My daughter is arriving tomorrow
and there's much to prepare for.Copy !req
422. She's driving down from Arizona
to attend Hector's funeral.Copy !req
423. With your permission.Copy !req
424. I'm sorry we couldn't get the car
released today, Lieutenant.Copy !req
425. And I'm sorry your wife
couldn't have stayed.Copy !req
426. Well, she's sorry, too, ma'am.Copy !req
427. It's my cousin Vito's
anniversary tomorrow,Copy !req
428. so I put her on a bus
to Los Angeles. Eleven years.Copy !req
429. She's very sentimental
about these things.Copy !req
430. Well, home, church,
that's what counts these days.Copy !req
431. Well, I can't argue with you there.Copy !req
432. They're bored!
But I'll take care of them.Copy !req
433. Well, now that we're alone,Copy !req
434. I would like to hear more about
that murder on the cruise ship.Copy !req
435. I'd like to talk about the death
of Hector Rangel.Copy !req
436. If that's the way
you investigate an accident,Copy !req
437. you must be a bull
when it comes to homicide.Copy !req
438. I know this is
none of my business...Copy !req
439. and I'm sticking my nose in
where it doesn't belong,Copy !req
440. and you certainly know much more
about these things than I do.Copy !req
441. Is it possible that there was
something wrong with Hector Rangel?Copy !req
442. Perhaps he knew he was gonna die
and he wanted to bring it to an end before...Copy !req
443. Well, you know, in some kind
a machismo way.Copy !req
444. Machismo. No, no, no,
that's impossible.Copy !req
445. Rangel would not finish
his life in such a way,Copy !req
446. especially
not in a practice ring.Copy !req
447. Maybe it was homicide.Copy !req
448. Lieutenant, you saw the body.Copy !req
449. No man could have ripped Rangel
open in such a way.Copy !req
450. No, the bull
was the murder weapon, sir.Copy !req
451. Like a gun.Copy !req
452. Somebody could've
turned the bull on Rangel.Copy !req
453. Who would do a thing like that?Copy !req
454. Montoya, maybe.Copy !req
455. Montoya?Copy !req
456. That's ridiculous.
It's unbelievable, Lieutenant.Copy !req
457. It's like saying that
the Pope did it.Copy !req
458. Anything's possible.Copy !req
459. Lieutenant,Copy !req
460. you're too good a policeman to
suggest such a thing without proof.Copy !req
461. Certain things don't fit.Copy !req
462. Why does a faithful assistant,
an obedient man,Copy !req
463. somebody who's used to taking orders,
suddenly take it upon himself to destroy...Copy !req
464. a valuable piece of property
without permission?Copy !req
465. You heard Montoya's answer.Copy !req
466. I didn't believe it.Copy !req
467. Well, what happens is that...Copy !req
468. you don't understand
the temperament of a matador.Copy !req
469. You see, they must be proud,
brave, they must have honor.Copy !req
470. It's called puro honor.
Without it, you're nothing.Copy !req
471. Si. I understand puro honor.Copy !req
472. Hector knew that his son...Copy !req
473. might climb off the bed in the hospital
to fight the bull himself, mano a mano.Copy !req
474. That's one against one.Copy !req
475. Hector could not accept that,
regardless the risk.Copy !req
476. The value of the bull
had nothing to do with it.Copy !req
477. Is Montoya a vain man?Copy !req
478. Oh, yes.Copy !req
479. Is he concerned
with his public image?Copy !req
480. Absolutely.Copy !req
481. Is it important to him to be seen...Copy !req
482. in a chauffeur-driven
1931 Cadillac convertible?Copy !req
483. Well, that's the way
he drives around.Copy !req
484. On the day that Hector died,Copy !req
485. when he was a guest speaker
in a foreign country,Copy !req
486. why did he decide to drive himself
in an ordinary hardtop?Copy !req
487. Lieutenant, he didn't choose it.Copy !req
488. Hector asked him to stay behind
so he could work on the books.Copy !req
489. What time was that?Copy !req
490. 4:30.Copy !req
491. I'm going to give you a
statement of a man...Copy !req
492. who takes care of Montoya's cars.Copy !req
493. The ranch foreman told him
to wash and wax the hardtop.Copy !req
494. The patron was gonna
drive it to San Diego.Copy !req
495. "I finished the job at 12:00."Copy !req
496. The question is,Copy !req
497. how did Montoya
know in the morning...Copy !req
498. that at 4:30 in the afternoon...Copy !req
499. Hector was going to say,
"I can't go with you."Copy !req
500. "I have to stay behind
and work on the books"?Copy !req
501. Is that your answer?Copy !req
502. There is no answer.Copy !req
503. There is no answer.Copy !req
504. I wouldn't close off this case.Copy !req
505. I don't wanna be presumptuous.
I realize I have no position here.Copy !req
506. No, I understand.Copy !req
507. If there is a crime here,
I want to get to the bottom of it.Copy !req
508. Better yet,Copy !req
509. I would like you
to get to the bottom of it.Copy !req
510. Me?Copy !req
511. You see, you're a foreigner.
But I live here.Copy !req
512. I don't know if you realize
what will happen to me...Copy !req
513. if I was to start an investigation
that would lead to nothing.Copy !req
514. Montoya is that important?Copy !req
515. He's a legend in Mexico.Copy !req
516. He's known throughout the country
as the bravest of the brave,Copy !req
517. and this man likes the glory
that surrounds him.Copy !req
518. And you want me
to take the blame.Copy !req
519. Exactly.Copy !req
520. But there's one thing.Copy !req
521. Montoya must have a motive.Copy !req
522. Yes,Copy !req
523. every man has a motive.Copy !req
524. I don't know what the motive is.Copy !req
525. Hector was keeping his books.
Maybe Hector was stealing from him.Copy !req
526. Maybe it had something to do
with his daughter and Curro.Copy !req
527. They were attracted
to one another. I don't know.Copy !req
528. Let's start with small things.Copy !req
529. Let's finish our coffee.Copy !req
530. Maria.Copy !req
531. Papa!Copy !req
532. I don't understand.
How could this happen?Copy !req
533. Hector was always so quiet,
so careful. Why?Copy !req
534. He was a father, sweetheart.Copy !req
535. And Curro, how is he taking it?Copy !req
536. I don't know.Copy !req
537. He's still in the hospital
recovering from the goring.Copy !req
538. I don't know.Copy !req
539. - I must go to him.
- Oh, of course.Copy !req
540. But first, you must freshen up
and have something to eat, huh?Copy !req
541. Come on, sweetheart.Copy !req
542. Come on.Copy !req
543. What is it?Copy !req
544. Nothing, nothing. Just a visitor.Copy !req
545. Come.Copy !req
546. That scared the hell out of me.Copy !req
547. He is just a little baby, sehor.Copy !req
548. That's some baby.Copy !req
549. I'm Lieutenant Columbo.
I'm from Los Angeles.Copy !req
550. I understand you're here...Copy !req
551. because of senor Rangel's
unfortunate death, no?Copy !req
552. I'm assisting Comandante Sanchez.
Asking questions.Copy !req
553. Oh, I see.
Have some. It will help you.Copy !req
554. Oh, thank you. I am thirsty.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
555. I thought that was water.Copy !req
556. I am sorry, sehor.Copy !req
557. - What is that stuff?
- Mescal, sehor.Copy !req
558. Mescal.Copy !req
559. Yes, sir.Copy !req
560. I understand, sir, that...Copy !req
561. you were the only one on the ranch
at the time of the murder.Copy !req
562. Yes, sir. You're right.Copy !req
563. But I was not near the ring
where he fight the bull.Copy !req
564. Otherwise, he would have never died.Copy !req
565. You know, my name
is Miguel Hernandez.Copy !req
566. Very well known to everybody.
Even to the bulls.Copy !req
567. But the patron said,
"Go to the south pasture,"Copy !req
568. and that's what happened.Copy !req
569. What time was that?Copy !req
570. I have no watch, sehor.Copy !req
571. It was afternoon, early.
The men had just gone into town.Copy !req
572. Now where is the south pasture?Copy !req
573. South pasture? That way, sehor.Copy !req
574. Now, that's in the opposite
direction from the bullring.Copy !req
575. That's right.Copy !req
576. When you got back,
did you see anybody around?Copy !req
577. No, sehor.Copy !req
578. It was almost 6:00.
It was getting dark.Copy !req
579. And the patron,
he had gone across to your country.Copy !req
580. I thought sehor Rangel
had gone with him.Copy !req
581. And you were down there
the whole time?Copy !req
582. Yes, sir. No one was around.Copy !req
583. But the patron was kind enough
to give me a bottle of mescal.Copy !req
584. And I had a very pleasant
afternoon. But today,Copy !req
585. I have a headache, sehor.Copy !req
586. Now, you must excuse me.
I must go to the tack room.Copy !req
587. I have to gather things
that belonged to sehor Rangel.Copy !req
588. They must go to his son now.Copy !req
589. Would you mind if I came along?Copy !req
590. Why should I mind?Copy !req
591. I'm sorry. I just couldn't eat.Copy !req
592. course, darling. Of course.Copy !req
593. I understand.Copy !req
594. Tell Curro our prayers
are with him, hmm?Copy !req
595. And drive carefully.
Drive carefully.Copy !req
596. You should've seen it
come down in town Friday.Copy !req
597. I thought the place
was gonna wash away.Copy !req
598. You know, it is funny,
sehor, in a desert like this,Copy !req
599. sometimes you see the rain.Copy !req
600. But only over there
in the mountains.Copy !req
601. It never gets here.Copy !req
602. What's this?Copy !req
603. That's sehor Rangel's luggage.Copy !req
604. They told me to clean out
his locker.Copy !req
605. Then I have to go to his room
and get his clothes out.Copy !req
606. It's already packed.Copy !req
607. - Well, who packed it?
- I don't know.Copy !req
608. Well, who brought
the luggage down here?Copy !req
609. I don't know.
Maybe the housekeeper.Copy !req
610. Do these belong
to a bull or anCopy !req
611. From a bull, senor.Copy !req
612. And these are picks?Copy !req
613. Yes.Copy !req
614. This is the inside of the wood?Copy !req
615. And this is the outside
of the wood?Copy !req
616. This is lighter in color
than this.Copy !req
617. Yes.Copy !req
618. And this is heavier in weight.Copy !req
619. That is not from a pick,
sehor. That is from a lance.Copy !req
620. Well, what's the difference?Copy !req
621. The picks they used in the ring,Copy !req
622. they have metal tips
to wound the bull, lower his head.Copy !req
623. And the lance?Copy !req
624. They are used in the fields
by the vaqueros for herding.Copy !req
625. They are made of pine, not so strong.Copy !req
626. Well, now I'm puzzled.Copy !req
627. Senor Montoya said
that this came from a pick.Copy !req
628. Perhaps I was mistaken.Copy !req
629. No, Jaime is right.
It looked the same to me at a glance.Copy !req
630. Well, what difference
does it make?Copy !req
631. none, I guess.Copy !req
632. But if this is from a lance,Copy !req
633. then it wasn't used
to test the cows for bravery,Copy !req
634. so what was it
doing in the ring?Copy !req
635. Lieutenant Columbo, a lance on a
bull ranch is the same as...Copy !req
636. as a rope on a cattle ranch.Copy !req
637. The vaquero, the cowboy,Copy !req
638. must carry it with him
at all times...Copy !req
639. so he can herd and round up
the bulls when he has to.Copy !req
640. And I assume Hector
would have a lance.Copy !req
641. Of course.Copy !req
642. A fascinating world.Copy !req
643. And this is Hector's pick?Copy !req
644. Yes.Copy !req
645. And those are the lances?Copy !req
646. Those are the lances.Copy !req
647. I notice that Hector's lance
is missing.Copy !req
648. No, he probably misplaced it or
broke it out in the fields somewhere.Copy !req
649. Well, as you said, it probably
doesn't make any difference.Copy !req
650. May I ask you
a personal question, sir?Copy !req
651. Oh, by all means.Copy !req
652. Did you injure your leg
in the bullring?Copy !req
653. In the Plaza de Toros, Mexico.Copy !req
654. It was the wound
that ended my career.Copy !req
655. And, ironically, it wasn't even the bull
I was supposed to fight.Copy !req
656. You see, I was appearing...Copy !req
657. mano a mano with
a young matador who froze,Copy !req
658. and the bull gored him.Copy !req
659. I jumped to his rescue
and I, too, was gored.Copy !req
660. Badly. Here.Copy !req
661. They tried to take me
to the infirmary,Copy !req
662. along with the young matador,
but I refused to go.Copy !req
663. Despite the blood
flowing from my wound,Copy !req
664. I stayed in the ring,Copy !req
665. and I did one of
the best faenas of my career.Copy !req
666. I killed the bull
with one thrust.Copy !req
667. The people loved it.Copy !req
668. They stood up and gave me
an electrifying ovation.Copy !req
669. Two ears and a tail.Copy !req
670. That was my last fight.Copy !req
671. Well, that must've taken
a lot of courage, sir.Copy !req
672. Well, it would be a difficult thing
to do now, with this leg.Copy !req
673. Well, thank you very much for the time.
I have to get back to the city.Copy !req
674. Oh, and then, on home,
to the United States?Copy !req
675. Yes, sir.Copy !req
676. Actually, I thought
if I got the chance,Copy !req
677. I'd like to come out here
one more time before I left.Copy !req
678. I'm fascinated
by everything out here,Copy !req
679. but I don't want to be a pest.Copy !req
680. Oh, not at all, Lieutenant.
You're welcome here any time.Copy !req
681. Well, thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
682. I've been fascinated
by everything I've seen out here...Copy !req
683. and I still think
there's a lot to learn.Copy !req
684. I don't understand
this medical report.Copy !req
685. What don't you understand?Copy !req
686. Well...Copy !req
687. This is Hector Rangel's name.Copy !req
688. Right.Copy !req
689. Well, I don't understand
anything after his name.Copy !req
690. Well, it says what
we already know.Copy !req
691. Hector Rangel died of shock
and severe loss of blood...Copy !req
692. due to wounds
inflicted on him by a bull.Copy !req
693. Dorso is the back?Copy !req
694. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
695. What is this
"pinchazo in the glodio"?Copy !req
696. Gluteo, that's a puncture
in the buttocks.Copy !req
697. Well, did the bull
get him there, too?Copy !req
698. Let me see.Copy !req
699. No. It's a...Copy !req
700. It's a small needle mark
that the doctor found.Copy !req
701. Probably from
a previous inoculation.Copy !req
702. Well, was Hector Rangel under...Copy !req
703. treatment for
anything with a doctor?Copy !req
704. No, according to his doctor,
he was in perfect health.Copy !req
705. I hope you don't mind
my saying so, Comandante,Copy !req
706. but I think you ought to
order an autopsy on Rangel's body.Copy !req
707. An autopsy...Copy !req
708. because of a needle mark?Copy !req
709. I can see the newspapers.
"Don Luis Montoya,Copy !req
710. the idol of Mexico,
a murder suspect?"Copy !req
711. That's your problem.
I'm just a tourist here.Copy !req
712. Yeah, that's my problem.Copy !req
713. You know, a policeman
who jeopardizes his pension,Copy !req
714. he must be loco, right?Copy !req
715. I think I'm gonna speak
to Curro Rangel.Copy !req
716. For a man who's on a holiday,
you're certainly keeping busy.Copy !req
717. Well, I have the feeling if I wasn't,
you wouldn't let me leave the country.Copy !req
718. that's right, my friend.Copy !req
719. I got your picture posted
in all the border stations.Copy !req
720. There's one other thing.Copy !req
721. You remember how hard
it rained in town the day...Copy !req
722. that Rangel got killed?Copy !req
723. Yes, it rained cats and dogs,
as you say.Copy !req
724. Now, according to Miguel, it did
not rain at the Montoya ranch.Copy !req
725. An old bullfighter
like Hector Rangel...Copy !req
726. would never
fight a bull in the rain.Copy !req
727. Yeah. However, old Miguel,Copy !req
728. he could be so bombed
on that mascara...Copy !req
729. Mescal, mescal.Copy !req
730. - Mescal.
- Right.Copy !req
731. That he wouldn't know
whether it was raining...Copy !req
732. or whether it wasn't raining.Copy !req
733. Yeah.Copy !req
734. I'll check the weather bureau,Copy !req
735. I'll check the other ranches
in the area.Copy !req
736. That's a good idea.Copy !req
737. Here, Lieutenant.Copy !req
738. Thank you.Copy !req
739. Here's to your pension.Copy !req
740. That's my problem.Copy !req
741. The air will do you good.Copy !req
742. Nothing will do me good.Copy !req
743. Oh, Curro, please.Copy !req
744. You cannot blame yourself
for your father's death.Copy !req
745. Yes, I can.Copy !req
746. If I'd killed that bull,
my fathered be alive right now.Copy !req
747. Curro.Copy !req
748. There he is, sir.
Right over there.Copy !req
749. Thank you. Gracias.Copy !req
750. Curro Rangel?Copy !req
751. Yes.Copy !req
752. I'm sorry to intrude like this.Copy !req
753. No, it's all right. I'm leaving.Copy !req
754. Keep your spirits up.Copy !req
755. I'll be out of here
tomorrow, Nina.Copy !req
756. Good. I'll see you at home.Copy !req
757. Oh, that's a pretty girl.Copy !req
758. Who are you?Copy !req
759. My name is Columbo. I'm a policeman
from the United States.Copy !req
760. What do you want?Copy !req
761. Your father's death hasn't been
officially certified as an accident.Copy !req
762. Not yet, anyhow.Copy !req
763. So, I'm just getting a few facts
for the local police.Copy !req
764. Well, I'm sorry.
I don't think I can help you.Copy !req
765. I was asleep on that bed
when it happened.Copy !req
766. No. I want to know
about your fight with the bull.Copy !req
767. The day before.
Would you tell me about that?Copy !req
768. Well, there's nothing to tell.Copy !req
769. The bull broke out of a
shipping box, got into the ring.Copy !req
770. I went in, tried to cape h
he caught me on the leg.Copy !req
771. Not seriously.Copy !req
772. But you were knocked unconscious.Copy !req
773. Yes. And my father and sehor Montoya
dragged me from the ring.Copy !req
774. Well now, actually,
sehor Montoya diverted the bull...Copy !req
775. and your father
dragged you from the ring.Copy !req
776. Yes, that's right.Copy !req
777. Did you use a lance
when you fought the bull?Copy !req
778. A what?Copy !req
779. I found this in the practice ring.
It's part of a lance.Copy !req
780. No. No one uses
a lance in the ring.Copy !req
781. Did your father have his lance
with him the day you fought the bull?Copy !req
782. Yes. I think so.Copy !req
783. He and senor Montoya
were riding out to the range...Copy !req
784. to check on the herd.Copy !req
785. He would always
have his lance with him.Copy !req
786. I'll tell you why it's funny.Copy !req
787. Because in the tack room now,
his lance is missing.Copy !req
788. Well, maybe,
when he came to drag me,Copy !req
789. in his desperation,
he brought the lance into the ring.Copy !req
790. But when he went to drag you out...Copy !req
791. while Montoya was diverting the bull,
why would he bring his lance?Copy !req
792. I don't know.Copy !req
793. Where's the rest of the lance?Copy !req
794. I haven't been able to find it.Copy !req
795. Where was your father going?Copy !req
796. What do you mean?Copy !req
797. His bags were packed.Copy !req
798. That doesn't make any sense.
He never went anywhere.Copy !req
799. Was he due to go on vacation?Copy !req
800. No. He didn't take vacations.Copy !req
801. Then who packed his bags
and why was he leaving?Copy !req
802. If he quit or was fired,Copy !req
803. but neither one of those
things would ever happen.Copy !req
804. Thank you very much.
You've been very helpful.Copy !req
805. Lieutenant,
I have good news for you.Copy !req
806. My car?Copy !req
807. It's parked outside, no charge.Copy !req
808. Oh, what a relief.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
809. It's all right.
Learning anything?Copy !req
810. Oh, I have to learn something,Copy !req
811. since I didn't know anything
to start with.Copy !req
812. Did you know that these bulls
are very near-sighted?Copy !req
813. Yes, I know that.Copy !req
814. That's why the matador uses the cape
to attract the bull toward him.Copy !req
815. Actually, what happens is that...Copy !req
816. the bull goes towards
the movement of the cape.Copy !req
817. That's right.
I made a note on that.Copy !req
818. Is that the autopsy?Copy !req
819. That's the weather report.Copy !req
820. It's in Spanish.Copy !req
821. Yes, I know that.Copy !req
822. The people at the weather bureau
speak it very well.Copy !req
823. It says there was no rain in the
area of the Montoya ranch...Copy !req
824. the day Rangel died.Copy !req
825. It was cloudy, overcast, high winds.Copy !req
826. So, old Miguel was right.Copy !req
827. Rangel must have fought the bull
between 5:00 and 5:30...Copy !req
828. as Montoya said.Copy !req
829. Well. It was worth a try.Copy !req
830. I was wrong, that's all.
But that's all right.Copy !req
831. I've been wrong before.Copy !req
832. Don't shake my confidence
in you, Lieutenant.Copy !req
833. The newspapers know about
the autopsy already,Copy !req
834. so I hope you found out something.Copy !req
835. I'll tell you the truth,Copy !req
836. I got a crazy notion
I know why Rangel was killed.Copy !req
837. What?Copy !req
838. Trouble is, I don't think
anybody's gonna believe me.Copy !req
839. Sehor Montoya, could I see him?Copy !req
840. Lieutenant Columbo.Copy !req
841. I came back.Copy !req
842. So I see.Copy !req
843. Just a few things to clear up, sir.
I hope you don't think I'm...Copy !req
844. Do I understand that...Copy !req
845. Comandante Sanchez
has obtained a court order...Copy !req
846. and an autopsy is going to be
performed on my good friend,Copy !req
847. Hector Rangel, God rest his soul?Copy !req
848. Yes, sir, that is right, sir.Copy !req
849. You see, there was a mark
on the body that...Copy !req
850. we couldn't quite understand.Copy !req
851. What kind of mark?Copy !req
852. A pin hole, sehor.
Maybe a needle mark.Copy !req
853. What can that possibly have
to do with Hector Rangel...Copy !req
854. being killed by a bull?Copy !req
855. Well, sir, you see, we think,Copy !req
856. that is, Comandante Sanchez
and I, believe that...Copy !req
857. Hector might have been drugged,
then killed by the bull.Copy !req
858. You are calling
Hector's death a murder.Copy !req
859. sir, not yet.Copy !req
860. But we are interested in whether or not
you keep any drugs here on the ranch,Copy !req
861. especially tranquilizers.Copy !req
862. Well, yes.
We keep such drugs on the ranch.Copy !req
863. All ranches must have these drugs
to tranquilize and treat sick animals. Yes.Copy !req
864. Well, there you are, sir.Copy !req
865. You see, I'm not as dumb about
these things as I thought.Copy !req
866. I had an idea you might have those drugs.
Do you think I could see them?Copy !req
867. And any records you might keep
as to their purchase and use?Copy !req
868. Chloral hydrate.Copy !req
869. I'll tell you,
I don't know much about drugs,Copy !req
870. but that's the stuff
they put in a Mickey Finn.Copy !req
871. I'm sorry...Copy !req
872. Oh, of course.
That's an American expression.Copy !req
873. Knockout drops.Copy !req
874. They're used and they work
about the same way...Copy !req
875. as a tranquilizer does on a bull.Copy !req
876. They knock a man out,
or they make him real dizzy,Copy !req
877. if you give him
a small enough shot.Copy !req
878. May I take this, sir, just to get a small
analysis down at the lab?Copy !req
879. Take all you want.Copy !req
880. You know I just thought of something,
something I saw on a television show.Copy !req
881. How do you get close enough to
those bulls to make an injection?Copy !req
882. On this show they had an...Copy !req
883. An air gun
with hypodermic darts.Copy !req
884. Yes, we have one
just for that purpose.Copy !req
885. I thought you might have.Copy !req
886. The gun. A dart.Copy !req
887. Is there anything else,
Lieutenant?Copy !req
888. Yes, sir.
I'd like to see your books.Copy !req
889. What for? We don't keep any records
on the use of these drugs.Copy !req
890. But you do keep a record
of their purchase?Copy !req
891. Yes.Copy !req
892. If you don't mind, sir.Copy !req
893. Help yourself.Copy !req
894. You won't find
the drug purchases there.Copy !req
895. They're in a separate section,
in the front.Copy !req
896. Yes, sir, I noticed that.Copy !req
897. Just a moment, Lieutenant.Copy !req
898. My financial records
are a private matter.Copy !req
899. If you wish them examined,
you'll have to get a court order.Copy !req
900. No, sir, that won't be necessary.
No, I just had a thought.Copy !req
901. Those entries that I just saw,
they were made by Hector.Copy !req
902. That is his handwriting.Copy !req
903. That is correct.Copy !req
904. May I see something?
Would you open the book?Copy !req
905. Then this is your signature,
made after each month's entry.Copy !req
906. That's right.Copy !req
907. January, February, March,
April, May, June, July...Copy !req
908. Just turn the page for a moment.Copy !req
909. So this is the last entry.Copy !req
910. This is the one that Hector said
he was working on...Copy !req
911. the day he said he had to stay
behind while you went to San Diego.Copy !req
912. That's funny.Copy !req
913. The date is funny, sir.Copy !req
914. What about it?Copy !req
915. He finished the books
three days before he was killed.Copy !req
916. So?Copy !req
917. Well, you signed
and dated it, sir.Copy !req
918. Just what are you trying
to establish, Lieutenant?Copy !req
919. Well, sir, you must see
what I'm driving at.Copy !req
920. If Hector finished the books
three days before he was killed,Copy !req
921. then why didn't you
question him when he said...Copy !req
922. he wanted to stay behind
to work on the books?Copy !req
923. You must have known he had no
intention of working on the books.Copy !req
924. I don't appreciate
this little war of nerves...Copy !req
925. you are conducting, Columbo.Copy !req
926. I am Luis Montoya.
And you are in my country!Copy !req
927. Sir, I'm just trying to
put together the pieces...Copy !req
928. If you understood the first thing
about bullfighting,Copy !req
929. you would not question
Hector's death!Copy !req
930. He walked into the ring
to spare his son further injury,Copy !req
931. and he lost his life.
Now that's all there was to it!Copy !req
932. Who packed his bags?Copy !req
933. That's right, sir.
It was packed.Copy !req
934. Miguel didn't do it.
He thought the housekeeper did,Copy !req
935. but I asked her and she said no.Copy !req
936. I don't know anything about that.Copy !req
937. Well, but the fact is,
sir, it was packed.Copy !req
938. Where was he going?Copy !req
939. Ah, yes, yes, yes.Copy !req
940. He talked about
moving into the main house.Copy !req
941. Maybe that's
what he was doing.Copy !req
942. Gee, it's curious that no one...Copy !req
943. had any previous information
about that,Copy !req
944. neither the housekeeper,
nor the servants.Copy !req
945. I'm sorry, Lieutenant.Copy !req
946. I have tried to be gracious.
I have answered all your questions.Copy !req
947. My courtesy has been rewarded
with accusation.Copy !req
948. I must ask you to leave my house
and not return.Copy !req
949. I can find my way out.Copy !req
950. I probably won't be back, sir.
I got to be in Los Angeles on Monday.Copy !req
951. But someday, somebody's
gonna come to your door.Copy !req
952. Comandante Sanchez, maybe
somebody else, but somebody.Copy !req
953. Bullfighting, baseball.Copy !req
954. What else do children
have to think about?Copy !req
955. I guess I'll be headed back
to the United States.Copy !req
956. Leaving me to finish your
unfinished business, huh?Copy !req
957. I gotta be home Tuesday morning.
Listen, I'd like to stay.Copy !req
958. Montoya's your man. You can nail
him if you keep after him.Copy !req
959. There is something. I don't know
what, a key. I can't find it.Copy !req
960. Well, if it means anything,
I will continue the investigation.Copy !req
961. If it goes badly
and I can't find the key,Copy !req
962. you'll have to get me a job with
the Los Angeles Police Department.Copy !req
963. What're they doing
with that jug of water?Copy !req
964. Well, it's the wind. It's strong.Copy !req
965. Pepe's imitating the professional
matadors at the Plaza.Copy !req
966. What are you talking about?Copy !req
967. Well, in the high wind,
the muleta will blow unpredictably.Copy !req
968. Since the bull goes toward
the movement of the muleta,Copy !req
969. if it were to blow towards
the matador, well, that's it.Copy !req
970. Oh, so if the cape is wet,
it won't blow in the wind.Copy !req
971. That's right.Copy !req
972. You Chinese are very clever.Copy !req
973. Is that in this book?Copy !req
974. I don't know.
Oh, well, that's your book.Copy !req
975. Where you going?Copy !req
976. I don't think
I'll be leaving just yet.Copy !req
977. I want to check something out.
ril call you later.Copy !req
978. Curro!Copy !req
979. Curro! Where you going
in such a hurry?Copy !req
980. To sehor Montoya's ranch.Copy !req
981. You're in no condition
to fight a bull.Copy !req
982. Nothing wrong with my condition.
I'm fine.Copy !req
983. You think you have to prove
how brave you are?Copy !req
984. The longer a matador delays
facing the bulls after a goring,Copy !req
985. the harder it becomes.Copy !req
986. Sehor Montoya killed your father.Copy !req
987. What?Copy !req
988. Sehor Montoya
killed your father, Curro.Copy !req
989. He set it up
to look like an accident...Copy !req
990. as if your father had gone
in the ring to kill a bull,Copy !req
991. but it was murder all the way.Copy !req
992. You don't know
what you're saying.Copy !req
993. I think I do.
I have a lot of evidence...Copy !req
994. all of which I'll show you.Copy !req
995. Sehor Montoya was on his way to San Diego
when my father was killed.Copy !req
996. No, he was in the bullring
with him, he tricked him there,Copy !req
997. and then he shot him with a tranquilizer gun.
You can see the needle mark on the body.Copy !req
998. Why would he do such a thing?Copy !req
999. That's what I'm not certain of.Copy !req
1000. That's where I'm gonna
need your help.Copy !req
1001. Will you trust me?Copy !req
1002. That man is no longer
welcome here.Copy !req
1003. We're here on official business,
Don Luis. Both of us.Copy !req
1004. Your investigation has gone
too far already!Copy !req
1005. The autopsy of Hector Rangel
has cast a shadow on my name.Copy !req
1006. And yet, I am told
you found nothing!Copy !req
1007. That's true. There were
no discernible traces.Copy !req
1008. And yet you persist?Copy !req
1009. I will call the Governor.
I'll have your job for this.Copy !req
1010. Well, actually, sir,Copy !req
1011. we didn't expect to find
any chloral hydrate.Copy !req
1012. In fact, we would
have been surprised...Copy !req
1013. if Hector had been given enough
drugs to show up on a test.Copy !req
1014. Either the man was drugged
or he wasn't drugged.Copy !req
1015. Well, I've been doing a little checking,
just the rudiments of bullfighting...Copy !req
1016. and the fact is,
a bull reacts to movement.Copy !req
1017. If Hector had been
totally unconscious,Copy !req
1018. if he had been immobile,
the bull might never have charged.Copy !req
1019. So, he was only
given a little bit.Copy !req
1020. Enough to make him woozy,
an easy, moving target.Copy !req
1021. This is slander, Columbo.Copy !req
1022. You have no proof.Copy !req
1023. No proof whatsoever.Copy !req
1024. Matador! Matador!Copy !req
1025. Curro Rangel is out
at the practice ring.Copy !req
1026. means to kill Marinaro.Copy !req
1027. Father, you must stop him.Copy !req
1028. First, I will attend
to this young fool.Copy !req
1029. And then I will talk to my lawyer
in regard to the two of you.Copy !req
1030. Curro!Copy !req
1031. Stop!Copy !req
1032. I said stop!Copy !req
1033. Come here!Copy !req
1034. Come here.Copy !req
1035. You didn't learn anything.Copy !req
1036. You want to go back
to the hospital? Is that it?Copy !req
1037. Huh?Copy !req
1038. Curro! Curro!Copy !req
1039. Montoya's frozen.Copy !req
1040. Papa!Copy !req
1041. Papa!Copy !req
1042. Papa!Copy !req
1043. I'm sorry. It was the only way.Copy !req
1044. But the way Montoya froze just now,Copy !req
1045. that's exactly the way
he froze the other day...Copy !req
1046. when he and Hector entered the ring
in order to save Curro from the bull.Copy !req
1047. He froze that day, too,
and Hector saw the fear.Copy !req
1048. That's why Montoya
had to kill Hector.Copy !req
1049. You see,Copy !req
1050. he didn't save Curro
from the bull. Hector did.Copy !req
1051. That's how Hector's lance
got broken.Copy !req
1052. Holding off the bull.Copy !req
1053. Don Luis Montoya, unable to live
with the knowledge...Copy !req
1054. that another man
had seen his fear.Copy !req
1055. Incredible.Copy !req
1056. Your kids. They solved the crime.Copy !req
1057. My kids?Copy !req
1058. Your kids.Copy !req
1059. Only after watching them play,Copy !req
1060. one pretending to be a matador
and the other pretending to be a bull,Copy !req
1061. only then did I know
without qualification...Copy !req
1062. that Montoya was lying.Copy !req
1063. This is the official weather report
for the day that Hector was killed.Copy !req
1064. Heavy winds came up in this area
between 5:00 and 6:00.Copy !req
1065. Now, that was the time that Montoya said
that Hector was preparing to kill the bull.Copy !req
1066. Heavy winds. 30 kilometers an hour.Copy !req
1067. Now, do you remember the first day?Copy !req
1068. Do you remember how closely
we looked at this muleta...Copy !req
1069. to see that it wasn't ripped?Copy !req
1070. Yes.Copy !req
1071. Well, it wasn't something else.Copy !req
1072. Water stains.Copy !req
1073. No water stains on the muleta.Copy !req
1074. And no water jug in the ring.Copy !req
1075. Now, the winds died down
after 6:00,Copy !req
1076. but by then, it was too late.Copy !req
1077. So, Hector entered the ring earlier...Copy !req
1078. before the winds cameCopy !req
1079. and when sehor Montoya
was still with him.Copy !req
