Columbo Disagrees With His Boss | Columbo

excuse me yeah i guess that explains it season you know here i am i've been betting my brains out trying to figure out about that ring and you guys are at it all the time guys uh listen doctor do me a favor would you when you perform the autopsy would you check something for me um this woman apparently drowned in the swimming pool so when you check our lungs see if there's any evidence of chlorine there won't be chlorine dissipates almost immediately in the human body anyway the fluids would be masked by the effects of pulmonary edema so uh does that mean that you couldn't tell if this woman drowned say you're in the bathtub sure if the bathtub were full of gin well check it anyway would you it's part of the job [Music] [Music] yes sir all right send them in i hope i'm not this their music no that's all right come in this is none of my business here stop me if i'm out of line but but nobody expected you to be at your destiny i want to be here lieutenant i want to keep working keep my mind off all right let's see uh here's here's lieutenant duffy's report there's no question about it it's the bel air burglar all right it's too bad he got away last night without a trace oh and speaking of reports that's what i wanted to talk to you about sir i'm making terrific progress but uh you see i don't think we should be looking for a burglar what no sir i think we should be looking for someone who made it seem like a burglary what are you talking about colombo here read duffy's report it shows very clearly it's the same man we've been looking for i'm sure this is a very good report syria but there are a couple of things that don't add up like what well for one thing the fingerprints come on come on columbo there were no fingerprints that's what i mean sir you see mr caldwell left the house around nine o'clock now he called his wife at 10 30 from the bar at the club this is what bothers me sir if mrs caldwell spoke to her husband on the phone why didn't she leave any fingerprints on the phone now that's strange in it the mate spent the whole day clean she dusted everything including the phones on the phone in the upstairs bedroom that's absolutely clean the one downstairs has mr caldwell springs on it but it doesn't have mrs caldwell's prince all right what are you implying that caldwell never actually talked to his wife did it ever occur to you that maybe the burglar used the phone after she did and then wiped it clean occurred to me that the burglar used the phone afterward yeah no sir why not well because the burglar had to wear gloves you see sir there were no prince of his anywhere in the house now there's another thing that's very strange is this bothering you no um excuse me there's something else the way this woman's body was dressed in that nightgown she didn't do that somebody else dressed in in that night young is that a fact lieutenant or just some more of your fancy guesswork what you see sitter she was wearing a pale blue nightgown which she got from her closet you know something there were no prints on the handle of the closet dory well i don't see what you're getting at unless you're trying to tell me that corwell killed his wife and then faked the whole thing is that it oh no sir no i don't mean that at all no no no you see mrs caldwell she had a habit whereby she would put a nightgown under the pillow every morning i saw a pink nightgown there under the pillow so of course we know that mrs caldwell would not have put on the blue nightgown now here's what's interesting mr caldwell he knew about the nightgown under the pillar so if he addressed his wife's body that would be the first place that he would have looked no sir we're looking for somebody else we're looking for somebody who tried to make a murder look like a burglary like who for instance that's it i don't like to speak badly of the dead but yesterday your wife confirmed to me that mrs caldwell was seeing other men you think it was one of them yes sir i think that's a possibility all right now listen lieutenant you're wasting your time and my time and the department's time and it's going to stop ah look colombo you must understand that no one no one wants this man caught any more than i do especially now but we are looking for a burglar a man who killed one woman out of fear who killed another woman to silence her now you go on that basis and we're going to solve this case is that clear you don't think that i have anything here lieutenant nobody can be right all the time look for your burglar there's the killer [Music] [Music] just one more thing [Music] you
