Columbo - "You Left Enough Clues To Sink A Ship" | Columbo

[Music] so [Music] that's quite a stunt isn't it sir i mean the way the doors go to the phone like that what the hell are you playing at oh just my game sir you're good at tennis and word games and dr hunter he was a winner with women this is my game he's my partner i call him charlie really you have a morbid streak lieutenant i should have suspected that it's as if the dogs were trained to be right there at the phone when dr hunter got that call just before he was murdered and the murderer had to be certain that this was the only phone that would ring may i show you sir in the study you know judge metzler kind of mended the order on world and hardy that was very good luck for us sir you remember this phone was disconnected that's what dr hunter would answer in the kitchen where the dogs came in don't feel you have to comment sir it's just a theory do your mind sir i really enjoy the game and i don't get much chance would you care to join me oh i found this tennis ball sir it's like the kind you use with dog tooth marks on it i found it out at the old callahan movie range where you got this baby sponsor yes i visited callahan's that's where the murderer trained his dog sir on the western street with a hanging dummy sir made out of straw just like the one that's in there the same kind of straw sir that the technicians found in your kitchen that day and you know what the murderer did he took a loudspeaker and he put it inside the dummy to repeat the kill commands so that the dogs would tear anyone apart when they heard that attack word if you'll just look in that pocket there sir you see this sir that's what the murderer dressed a dummy with out there on that old western street i found that when i went back there to take a second look this is a torn piece from dr hunter's missing jacket so the dogs would take the censer to reinforce the kill command doesn't that make sense to you sir what does all this have to do with me lieutenant well charlie died in your house the dogs are your dogs 14 balls there and then there's your wife if you'll just look in that pocket sir dr hunter and your wife it must have been one of those time delay snapshots there's a whole bunch of photos just like that in dr hunter's desk maybe that's how you found out about their affair sir and you picked up those photographs that day that i was in dr hunter's apartment only i took this one first sir before you got there you play a first-rate game lieutenant well my father taught me sir so that was the motive their affair that's why you killed your wife dr mason i can't prove that i can certainly prove that you killed dr hunter not without the kill command lieutenant well that won't be necessary sir it was really a very simple case starting with that kitchen phone sir because you're the one that called dr hunter you claim you were at your physicians having your heart examined which was true [Applause] electrocardiogram sir just before three o'clock your physician left you alone for a resting trace at that moment you were lying down in a restful position [Applause] and your heart showed a calm slow easy beat look at this part right here lots of sudden stress lots of excitement right here at three o'clock your heart beating like a hammer just before the dog's attacked oh you killed them with a phone call sir i'll bet my life on it [Applause] a very simple case not that i'm particularly bright sir i must say i found you disappointing i mean your incompetence you left enough clues to sink a ship motive opportunity and for a man of your intelligence sir you got caught in a lot of stupid lies a lot of them i think you deserve the whole package lieutenant the total picture to make your case complete oh i think i've made my case watch the dogs rosebud [Music] rosebud oh yes yes yes okay that's it okay that's it now when i say that's it that's it all right one more kiss and that's it all right that's it fellas that's it [Applause] is that what you call the conditioned responser the way you just turned those dogs on me you knew the command the point is sir you knew the command i didn't know it i just heard it it was on this tape machine you see this sir that's what they call a voice operated control when this is attached to this like this and somebody talks it switches on automatically now i had this in my pocket that night a few weeks ago when you and i played the word game and i played that for the dogs and just by accident sir they heard that part where you and i stood out by the gate and talked about citizen kane and charles foster cain dies and that's where it all begins with his last word rosebud laurel and hardy they went crazy and then there was this lady dog trainer and she knew how to deprogram the dogs so now instead of killing when they heard the word they kissed it's like trading one conditioned response for another you understand sir can i try this again sir it's very good lieutenant remarkable really you take control very well all the way i'd swear you'd taken my course oh no sir oh no never it's just that i enjoy the pleasure of the game [Music] i wonder how wc feels did it just one more [Music] you
