:55:04
and it's the same kind
as the one missing from your uncle's desk.
:55:09
Er, may I use your phone?
:55:11
Oh, yes, of course.
:55:13
Isn't that silly? Right up above my house.
:55:17
I've walked on that hill myself.
:55:24
Ballistics.
:55:27
Is this Charlie? Lieutenant Columbo.
:55:30
Charlie, I sent that stuff over there
over a half-hour ago...
:55:34
Oh. Thank you.
:55:39
It's the murder gun, all right.
:55:43
Oh, there's nothing to be upset about.
:55:45
But I was just telling Dale,
:55:48
I go up there myself
when I want a breath of air.
:55:51
I walked over to see Rudy
the night before he was killed.
:55:54
Don't say another word.
The lieutenant may get the wrong idea.
:55:59
What?
:56:01
Oh, but surely no one would think that I...
:56:04
Threw that gun there?
Oh, no, Mrs Mathews. No, no.
:56:08
No, I finally figured out what happened.
:56:11
Whoever was in the house ran out
the back and just kept on going.
:56:15
They were anxious
to get rid of your ex-husband's gun.
:56:18
It could've been anybody.
:56:20
- It could?
- Yes. Absolutely, it could.
:56:23
You have nothing to worry about.
Now, did you wanna go shopping?
:56:29
I was planning to meet some friends
but it can wait.
:56:32
No, you go right ahead
and forget about all this.
:56:36
Just do what my wife does -
:56:38
when she hits a department store
she can forget anything,
:56:41
even the fact
that I'm sitting outside waiting.
:56:44
(Kingston) Have a good time, Edna. Bye.
:56:50
- What are you trying to do to her?
- I'm sorry, I don't follow.
:56:55
You know perfectly well
it was a woman that ran out that night.
:56:59
- You said so yourself.
- Yeah, sure, but not her.
