:44:01
You're farther out than your buildings.
:44:03
According to this, when Beau Williamson's
dead you inherit 25% of his estate.
:44:08
That's a lot of lamé.
Much more than you'll ever see in alimony.
:44:12
You listen to me.
You're after me for some reason
:44:15
and all I'm trying to do is point out
that that will doesn't prove a thing.
:44:19
Suppose we call Columbo?
We'll leave it up to him.
:44:23
Listen, I can save yourself the trouble.
:44:25
- Ah, the omnipresent constable.
- What are you doing here?
:44:29
Your maid let me in.
She told me you were up here.
:44:32
- I hope I'm not interrupting.
- How long were you there?
:44:35
Not long. I guess I did hear
the tail end of what you were saying.
:44:39
Then I guess you know what kind
of fertiliser this boy is spreading around.
:44:44
Well, you know, Mr Markham
is making pretty good sense.
:44:47
He'd almost make a detective.
:44:49
That stuff about the will,
that's good police work.
:44:52
- Thank you, Lieutenant.
- I thought you were my friend.
:44:55
Goldie, I am your friend.
:44:57
And because I'm your friend,
I'd like to give you some advice.
:45:02
I think it would do you a lot of good
if you told the truth.
:45:05
- I am telling the truth.
- Are you?
:45:08
I just spoke to that nice Japanese girl
that gives you massages.
:45:11
Miko?
:45:13
We had a little trouble understanding
each other but we finally made it.
:45:17
She told me she noticed a bandaged cut
on the back of your leg this morning.
:45:21
- It wasn't there yesterday.
- Pure coincidence. I cut myself shaving.
:45:26
I also went to the Bureau of Records
and dug up your marriage licence.
:45:30
It turns out that you and Mr Williamson
have the same blood type, B-positive.
:45:35
Very good. Obviously she took
one of her husband's hats,
:45:38
added some blood and left it to make it look
as if Beau had been murdered.
:45:43
What about it, ma'am?
Oh, and another thing -
:45:46
the lab tells me that the blood
is only 24 hours old.
:45:51
All right, all right.
I did it. I planted the hat.
:45:55
I was just trying to get
everybody off the dime.
:45:59
I guess I'm in trouble. Falsifying evidence?
