1:08:00
Lieutenant Columbo.
1:08:21
This is the way
your brother came in, isn't it?

1:08:25
How did you get in?
1:08:27
Same way your brother did,
with a spare key.

1:08:30
One of my men located your locksmith.
1:08:32
He was very cooperative.
1:08:36
What do you expect to prove
by this bit of nonsense?

1:08:39
I don't want to prove anything.
I came to arrest you.

1:08:43
- Arrest me?
- Yes, ma'am.

1:08:46
For the murder of your brother.
1:08:48
I did have a reason for coming in this way.
I wanted to see the look on your face.

1:08:54
Very well.
1:08:56
I'll consider myself under arrest.
1:08:59
Now I want to see the look
on your face when I call my lawyer.

1:09:02
You know what's ironic?
1:09:04
I knew it wasn't an accident the first night.
1:09:07
I knew as soon as I saw that newspaper
but I didn't have any proof.

1:09:11
I had to wait for the proof.
1:09:13
I had to wait for your fiancé to give it to me.
1:09:16
- From Peter?
- Yes, ma'am.

1:09:18
I don't think he meant to.
1:09:21
According to your story, you were asleep.
1:09:23
The alarm woke you, you reached for a gun
1:09:26
and you shot what
you thought was a burglar.

1:09:29
- Which is exactly what happened.
- Couldn't be.

1:09:33
Because Mr Hamilton,
who was outside at the time,

1:09:36
heard both the shots and the alarm.
1:09:39
Of course he did.
What difference does that make?

1:09:42
(Columbo) Oh, big difference.
1:09:44
He heard the shots first...
1:09:47
then the alarm.
1:09:49
That's the cart before the horse.
1:09:51
I mean, how could the alarm wake you
if the shots came first?

1:09:56
You see, what really happened was
1:09:59
your brother came walking in here,
just the way I did tonight,
