(Columbo) Gorgeous craft!
Must have cost a mint.
:55:42
As they say, Lieutenant,
if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
:55:48
Right. You know, the biggest thing
I've ever been on before is a rowboat.
:55:53
Lieutenant, you didn't come all the way
out here to talk about life on the high seas.
:55:58
Eh? No.
:56:01
No, I was wondering, General,
:56:04
have you heard about that body
they found off Marago Cove?
:56:08
Colonel Dutton? Yeah, I just heard about it.
Just came on the radio.
:56:12
That's shocking.
:56:15
- Any idea what happened?
- Yes, sir.
:56:18
Somebody shot him, sir.
:56:20
I guess they weighted him down
and then they just dumped him.
:56:23
- Is that a fact?
- Yeah.
:56:26
I guess the sharks must have cut through
whatever was holding him down.
:56:31
This is very interesting, Lieutenant,
but why are you telling me this?
:56:36
Well, sir, to protect you.
:56:41
- Protect me?
- Yes, sir.
:56:44
I know that this is ridiculous
but the fellas down there at the department,
:56:50
they say they've got
a pretty good case against you.
:56:52
- Oh?
- Yeah.
:56:55
- They're way out of line, I know that.
- Of course.
:56:58
But they have these ideas,
and it could be embarrassing.
