1:09:02
You know what's ironic?
1:09:04
I knew it wasn't an accident the first night.
1:09:07
I knew as soon as I saw that newspaper
but I didn't have any proof.
1:09:11
I had to wait for the proof.
1:09:13
I had to wait for your fiancé to give it to me.
1:09:16
- From Peter?
- Yes, ma'am.
1:09:18
I don't think he meant to.
1:09:21
According to your story, you were asleep.
1:09:23
The alarm woke you, you reached for a gun
1:09:26
and you shot what
you thought was a burglar.
1:09:29
- Which is exactly what happened.
- Couldn't be.
1:09:33
Because Mr Hamilton,
who was outside at the time,
1:09:36
heard both the shots and the alarm.
1:09:39
Of course he did.
What difference does that make?
1:09:42
(Columbo) Oh, big difference.
1:09:44
He heard the shots first...
1:09:47
then the alarm.
1:09:49
That's the cart before the horse.
1:09:51
I mean, how could the alarm wake you
if the shots came first?
1:09:56
You see, what really happened was
1:09:59
your brother came walking in here,
just the way I did tonight,
1:10:03
and you shot him
1:10:05
and then you set the alarm
a few seconds later.
1:10:14
Peter is mistaken.
1:10:16
No, he's a very good lawyer
and he prides himself on his memory.
1:10:19
He won't like it but he'll testify
against you in court if he has to.
1:10:24
Along with other holes in your story,
I think they'll convict you.
1:10:33
Now, you don't want to do that.
1:10:35
Policemen outside.
What would be the point?
1:10:45
Besides, you're too classy a woman.
1:10:52
Ma'am, would you get dressed now?
1:10:55
Take all the time you need.
