'Old Fashioned Murder' in 13 Minutes | Columbo

kindly keep in mind that I have to manage all the funds mother left and that I have what I consider to be a sacred duty to the family it's up to me to make a profit why do people always speak of money as sacred maybe because it is and the way the museum is going there is no choice I'll have to kill it what did you say oh now let's not be shocked and let's not make me the villain you've known what this inventory would mean you've been keeping me from it for months we can't go on pouring money into this place we'd be several million dollars richer I all of us if we just got rid of this silly Place finally and and and and sold the contents just as my brother will find out about the things that you've stolen from us why didn't you tell him I worked here why didn't you tell your brother what you think I did why did you let me keep on working here if you knew because I need you what for it to arrange a robbery for which I'll pay you $100,000 in [Music] cash it's my wife come on we better get out of here this is Dr Tim schaer speaking I'm not on call this weekend however if you wish to leave a person message for me you have 30 seconds in which to do so kindly wait for the beep Tim it's Milton I'm calling from a phone booup I haven't gotten another dime Tim can you get here by 9:30 I can't wait for 20 minutes Tim I'm I'm in trouble I'm in real trouble hey hey don't don't please or [Music] I'll [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Miss Linton what are you doing here sh I have the passport and the money with me I won't be able to meet you later quickly take the briefcase over to the phone booth Mr sh [Music] hello anyone down [Music] there Edward I just knocked everything over it's almost 2:00 in the morning what what are you doing here oh I do wish everyone would stop asking me [Music] [Music] that some watch see something sir here his watch is wrong my watch cost $30 his must have cost a couple hundred and that's wrong it's say May 1st goes to show you money doesn't buy quality Lieutenant it is May 1st your watch is wrong his watch is right well what do you expect for $30 that looks like an insect bite sir no sergeant it's not an insect bite I think that Mr schaer was leaving the country right after the robbery that he was going someplace tropical you see it wasn't an insect bite last year my wife and I we went on a vacation to the islands and I had a mark just like that under my arm and you know what it was Miss Lon it was a vaccination I see all right Lieutenant you proved your point that Mr schaer was was going to leave the country however it doesn't mean that he was going to leave the country tonight now don't forget that after the robbery he would be a wanted man I would think that it would be difficult for a wanted man to shop to get a vaccination he would do everything first and I think he would wear the new clothes that he bought if he liked them schaer couldn't have waited he was in many any ways a childlike man I'm sure his brother has told you that already shall we leave Lieutenant it's getting dark now we might as well otherwise I I'd sit here forever I'll walk you home miss Lon that's it I beg your pardon nothing in this room had been touched ma'am nothing had been touched don't you understand nothing don't you see M wouldn't even let anyone touch the light switch because I told him to leave everything just the way it was that means the lights were off last night only they couldn't have been it would be in possible for two men to shoot and kill each other in a dark room where is the light switch Miss Lon right over here that's it that's what he did he whoever murdered your brother and Mr schaer I'm afraid I don't quite understand Lieutenant why couldn't one of them have turned the lights on they could have but after they were dead Miss Whitten who turned them off very similar to yours works the same only the case is different uh my watch I was just wondering if you knew about this my watch Lost the day yesterday uh I was wondering it didn't lose a day all calendar watches are adjusted to have a 31-day month now last month had 30 days does your watch say the first instead of the second yes the first here give it to me you see in a 30-day month you have to turn your watch 24 hours ahead or else it'll say the 31st instead of the 1 you have to pass the 12 twice stem is very tight isn't it oh yes you know I was afraid to turn it at all you see I figured anything that tight wasn't supposed to move thank you very much for trying to do that oh that's all right I do it all day long showed Mr schaer how to do it for 20 minutes took me another 20 minutes to explain it to him the manager leaning on the door [Music] yes are you all right sure are you fine considering you better put a robe on or something Lieutenant Columbo was here to ask some questions hell of a thing makes you grow up kind of fast you know how to keep a secret what kind of secret I just know that you have one I know the look my brother-in-law had that look the day he died does Janie know that you and her father were once engaged of course I have no secrets from Janie none only one I I gathered that you've been reading old Society columns and birth certificates I became curious when you told me about Peter brand Lieutenant that is a part of my life that I don't discuss with anyone and I don't feel that I know you well enough to discuss it with you now none of my business I'm sorry oh by the way I do have one little problem Miss Lon it's about the aliis aren't you satisfied that we were all telling the truth about where we were at the time of the murders the problem is the murders didn't take place at 9:00 I thought you said that Mr schaer made a phone call into an answering machine on a tape and that he mentioned the time he did he was lying I understand the note that Mr schaer had now uh the one that said turn ahead twice at midnight I have no idea what you're talking about Mr schaer had a calendar watch like mine has to be set to May 1st by hand in order to do that you have to turn it past the 12 twice after midnight Mr schaer's watch had been set to May 1 Lieutenant I better tell you something before you find out yourself there's an artifact missing from the Museum oh what kind of artifact it's it's gold it's a small rectangular piece with carved stripes on it it's worth quite a lot of money that cheeseburger is nice and hot I just picked it up had them put everything on it don't know if you like onions or not do you no okay okay do you recognize it or not yes it's the briefcase that schaer used in the robbery I'm releasing your niece in my cognizance Mr releasing her that's right I don't think she killed anybody and I don't think she stole this either she'd been using it all afternoon as an ashtray she doesn't even know what it is what is it Janie For Heaven's Sake your A's been teaching you business SE not for 3 months don't you know no she doesn't and she doesn't even know how we happen to be looking for it and she doesn't know how he knew that it was missing for 2 weeks before the murder it's your brother's voice it's from the inventory that he was taking this tape is dated April 30th miniature incise gold piece Bronze Age one in square min meure Halbert same period inch and a half gold mounted button green same period gold Beaker same period 6 in Albert 1 in square miniature large gold belt buckle Bronze Age 3 and 1/2 by 5 in Sergeant Miller and I we thought it was a dish we were wrong wasn't a dish it was a gold belt buckle and it was there the night that Edward died was never missing at all Lieutenant I don't know what you're talking about and you never will Mrs brand unless this case goes to trial and then it will all come out just one more thing [Music]
