The Cable Car Finale of 'Short Fuse' | Columbo

hi sergeant is that it yep pretty good shape too considering see right up there to the left of the second dark crag you can't see the road from here but it's right to the left of that just about a couple hundred feet from where they went over well they must have been blown apart like the cap and that other stuff yeah skidded right into a crevice what is it lieutenant i think that we ought to get this information to your aunt in a hurry so let's go on oh no no no i i sent her up to the cabin so she wouldn't be disturbed anyway it would take us hours to get there no no we'll be there in no time here sergeant engineer's waiting for you thank you very much this way up yeah your aunt put me on this contraction she said it was a lot faster than driving oh it's safer i hope she's right well uh let's look at this huh yes i'd like to know what they found let's see what we have boy that's that's david's cigar box i told you this would be worth coming out for didn't i yeah yeah it sure is you see except for the hinges which are a little shaky this whole thing is in one place this means that david was not murdered doesn't it huh oh yes sir yes uh this changes everything there's no question about it yeah uh must have been the gas tank after all oh that's that's comforting news i mean for her even so i'm afraid she's not gonna be very happy to see me up there why do you think that she blamed you for her husband's death well i certainly do i mean after all i was the one that was fighting david on this cell business everybody knew that i figured some troublemaker misunderstood and stole the box out of my office unfortunately i was wrong i can't tell you how good that cigar box looks to me now if i can just get doris to tell me why she let me go oh i can tell you that you can yeah i think she fired you for a couple of reasons like those secret meetings that you had with the competition last year like that patent that you sold to a friend very cheaply what are you talking about those are lies really well mr quincy wrote them all down in a report to mr buckman well then quincy made them up himself they're simply not true you promised aunt dory never to say anything about that what are you trying to do cause more trouble well it doesn't make any difference now i mean everything's changed now isn't it because of this you know and then there was that thing with miss bishop lieutenant now that that is private information wait wait a minute what thing with miss bishop no i am warning you well you see miss bishop and mr buckner you know for the past year or so baby that is enough i'm sorry i didn't mean to hurt anybody just don't i i just don't know why we or why we can't uh sit here sit here and and just in in sydney whitening while we ride to the top of the mountain you know something roger the truth is hard to find sometimes but sometimes it's right in front of you and you can't prove it what do you know i had a whole theory worked out how you could have fixed this box here but i need a high iq thing so that the explosive might not be discovered it might get burned up with the gasoline oh yes i had a theory worked out how you could have done all sorts of things now turns out to be just an ordinary cigar box well listen now that uh don't you think you should take it to a laboratory and uh have it examined i mean now you've got all these fancy theories what on earth for the theories are all wrong and that would all be proven oh no that would make me look foolish i must have seen you care for a cigar no no you know and the funny thing is this roger this whole thing could have been a plan to use like those reports of mr quincy's you could have forged those on his typewriter and the photograph between miss bishop and your uncle any good photographer could trick that up you know you just do some double printing oh yeah and replace one figure with somebody and even mr else's new bank account that could have been opened by anybody even you yes and mr logan's cigars being stolen see now there you go you're looking at your watch again would you do me a favor would you please keep quiet why it's only a dumb theory of mine i mean it only goes to prove how wrong i could be you see what i figured i figured there was two people between you and the presidency it's the logan here in your uncle and now there's just you of course you had to fire this bishop i mean an executive secretary she probably knows too much everett are you just going to sit here and let him just mumble on why not roger it's all very interesting you you are more of a fool than he is but the trouble is even if i was right will you just shut up [Music] roger what's bothering you what's the matter shut up oh my god [Applause] we have got to get rid of that box why what [Music] give me that box give me that box [Music] where did you get that uh that box of cigars lieutenant from your secretary my secretary yeah she uh she had three boxes i hope you didn't mind no i don't suppose i do in this case [Music] oh aren't those supposed to be evidence i guess they are touching [Music] oh [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] just one more thing [Music] you
