:12:07
- Er, Mrs Williams?
- Yes?
:12:10
Lieutenant Columbo, local police.
I seem to have dropped my pen.
:12:15
Just a minute.
:12:19
(Sighs)
Would you like some help?
:12:22
That won't be necessary.
I'll just take another quick look.
:12:26
- I can get a flashlight.
- Don't bother.
:12:29
I, er... I've got some matches.
:12:31
- It's no trouble.
- It's not important, it's just a pen.
:12:34
You see, it was engraved,
that was the only reason.
:12:37
I'll buy another one and have it engraved.
The pen was worthless.
:12:42
- Is that it?
- Where?
:12:43
- There.
- Oh...
:12:47
- No.
- No?
:12:48
- (Carlson) Everything OK?
- Lieutenant Columbo's lost his pen.
:12:51
Don't bother him about it.
:12:53
- Lieutenant Columbo.
- How do you do? How are you?
:12:57
Mrs Williams,
I think we can forget about the pen.
:13:00
- Would you like a flashlight?
- I've offered him one.
:13:03
That last call was from the police.
They've found your husband's car.
:13:11
- Was there any sign of violence?
- None.
:13:21
- How did they stop it?
- It was found near a stop sign.
:13:25
We assume your husband stopped
and the kidnappers found the opportunity...
:13:29
Mr Carlson, there's a gentleman to see you.
:13:32
Lieutenant. Gentlemen, this is
Lieutenant Columbo, our local police liaison.
:13:37
- How do you do?
- As I was saying,
:13:39
the stop sign suggests that...
:13:43
- Is there something we can do for you?
- I came to say that they found the car.
:13:47
- We already have that information.
- I can see that.
:13:51
- How's the tap-in coming?
- Not yet.
:13:54
- Feel free to stay if you like.
- Thank you very much.
:13:59
(Carlson) Jerry, get a man to check houses
in the area where the car was found.
