:34:03
Granted, it could have been a smoke screen
:34:05
but sometimes the obvious answer
is the correct one.
:34:08
- Now, Brooks...
- Yes, sir?
:34:11
Check into her banking account,
particularly withdrawals.
:34:14
Find out how much cash
she was carrying that day.
:34:17
Mr Kennicut will be glad to cooperate.
:34:20
My theory, gentlemen, and you will
gear your efforts in this direction.
:34:24
Mrs Kennicut was walking
along the Pacific Coast Highway.
:34:27
She was forced into a car...
:34:30
by someone.
:34:32
The motive was robbery.
:34:34
She probably fought back.
In any case, she was killed.
:34:37
The murderer drove around in a panic
and, finally, out to here,
:34:41
- to get rid of the body.
- (Buzzer)
:34:43
- Yes?
- (Woman) 'It's Lieutenant Columbo.'
:34:45
Who? Oh, yes. Yes, send him in.
:34:50
Gentlemen, we'll finish this later.
I'll call you. Thank you.
:35:15
Lieutenant?
:35:17
Come in!
:35:21
Whew! Boy. This is quite a building.
:35:25
- This all yours?
- 'Fraid so.'
:35:27
Must be a lot of business
for your kinda company these days.
:35:31
We can't handle it all. Sit down.
:35:33
Your secretary called.
She said you wanted the files on the case.
:35:37
I thought it'd be safer if I brought them.
:35:39
That's nice. It wasn't necessary,
but I appreciate it. Want some coffee?
:35:43
- No, thanks.
- Thank you.
:35:44
- Those are the duplicates.
- OK.
:35:48
Yes, this will help.
:35:52
A lot of it. I wonder if you can
give me a little rundown.
:35:56
Well, it's just what I told Mr Kennicut.
:35:59
No leads. Except I was looking
through that stuff last night...
