:37:00
that don't use any powder.
:37:03
Er, they're like explosive fire things, maybe.
:37:07
- Is that true?
- Oh...
:37:11
So you think someone put a bomb in his car.
:37:14
There could have been an explosion
before they went off the cliff.
:37:20
You see, if that's the case,
then we got a whole different...
:37:24
- Lieutenant.
- See what I mean?
:37:26
I... I would not light that cigar now
:37:29
unless you wish to witness
an explosion right now.
:37:33
- Oh, yeah, right, I'm sorry. I won't light it.
- OK.
:37:37
And for your information,
:37:40
there are 30 PhDs in this plant
:37:44
and over 60 qualified chemists.
:37:47
There are 10 private experiment rooms,
just like mine back there.
:37:53
And that is not even to mention
the main laboratory building right over there,
:37:58
where 2,000 more employees toil away
like merry little gnomes.
:38:02
(Columbo) You don't think all these people
wanted to kill Mr Buckner?
:38:06
No idea. But a large corporation
is like a jungle, to coin a phrase.
:38:10
I can't tell you how many
executives there are in our ivory tower
:38:14
who would commit felonious assault
:38:17
for the key to a private washroom.
:38:19
That's not even to mention
the ones who are very unhappy
:38:23
because my uncle wished to sell.
:38:25
Like those malcontents
who kept threatening him.
:38:28
Well, you know, somehow,
:38:31
we just can't get a handle on those threats.
:38:34
I mean, like that stink bomb.
:38:36
The boys we sent to check it out,
:38:38
they say nobody even saw a car
in your neighbourhood during that time.
:38:42
That is unfortunate. However, I witnessed
one of those phone calls myself.
:38:47
- You did?
- Yes.
:38:50
Never mind about that.
:38:52
- I'll get somebody else to check it out, OK?
- Yeah.
:38:55
Because I have my own
personal lead in this case.
:38:59
You have?
