- There was that thing with Miss Bishop.
- Lieutenant, that is private.

1:07:07
- Wait. What "thing" with Miss Bishop?
- I am warning you.

1:07:11
Miss Bishop and Mr Buckner,
for the past year or so...

1:07:15
That is enough.
1:07:18
- Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anybody.
- I just don't know why we can't...

1:07:22
Well, why we can't sit here.
1:07:25
Sit here and... Just sit here quietly
1:07:28
while we ride to the top of the mountain.
1:07:30
You know something, Roger?
The truth is hard to find... sometimes.

1:07:34
But sometimes it's right in front of you
and you can't prove it.

1:07:38
What?
1:07:39
Do you know,
I had a whole theory worked out

1:07:42
how you could have fixed this box here?
1:07:45
But I mean, a high IQ thing so that
the explosive might not be discovered.

1:07:50
It might get burned up with the gasoline.
1:07:53
Oh, yes. I had a theory worked out
how you could have done all sorts of things.

1:07:58
Now... Now...
1:08:02
- Turns out to be just an ordinary cigar box.
- (Nervous chuckling) Yeah.

1:08:09
Well, listen, now that...
1:08:11
Shouldn't you have it examined
in a laboratory,

1:08:14
now you've got all these fancy theories?
1:08:16
What on earth for?
The theories are all wrong.

1:08:19
That would only prove it.
No, that would make me look foolish.

1:08:22
- Mr Logan, would you care for a cigar?
- No, thank you.

1:08:26
No? And you know,
the funny thing is this, Roger.

1:08:29
This whole thing
could have been a plan of yours.

1:08:33
You could have forged Mr Quincy's reports
on his typewriter.

1:08:37
And the photograph between
Miss Bishop and your uncle.

1:08:40
Any good photographer could trick that up.
Just some double printing...

1:08:44
- Oh, yeah.
...and replace one figure with another.

1:08:48
(Columbo) Even Mr Quincy's
new bank account

1:08:50
could have been opened by anybody,
even you.

1:08:53
Yes, and Mr Logan's cigars being stolen.
1:08:57
- There you go, looking at your watch again.
- Would you do me a favour?
