- Lieutenant Columbo?
- Yes?

1:05:19
I'm Margaret Williams.
Do you remember me?

1:05:22
Yes, of course.
1:05:24
Yes, I just didn't expect to see you here.
1:05:28
Listen, try the chilli. You won't be sorry.
1:05:30
I came to see you.
1:05:32
- Well, what? What about?
- My father's murder.

1:05:35
Listen, I'm terribly sorry about that.
1:05:38
We just haven't been able
to come up with anything on that.

1:05:46
Well, I may have something.
1:05:48
- Sure you won't eat something?
- This is very important.

1:05:53
I'm sorry. Go ahead. I'm listening.
1:05:59
Could we move to that booth over there?
1:06:02
Certainly.
1:06:18
You see, it's, er...
It's the crackers that make the dish.

1:06:25
I think my stepmother had
something to do with it.

1:06:30
- You realise what you're saying?
- Yes.

1:06:32
- Then tell me.
- She never loved him.

1:06:36
She used him to get
what she wanted for herself - a career.

1:06:40
She used his name, his influence,
1:06:42
so that she could become
the famous lady lawyer.

1:06:46
To be a partner with my father
was instant stature, instant success.

1:06:51
Well, did all this start
while your mother was still alive?

1:06:55
Yes, but he didn't have an affair with her.
1:06:58
- How can you be sure?
- I knew him.
