Do you think dad will be home? tomorrow evening, at this time?

- The clock is broken. - Knock foc...

Where's mom, Jenny?

Is mom a computer?

Will Marnan come and get you? Will she be able to find where you are?

Finished.

This is Mrs. Columbo.

♪ mowed in vain to contact Sergeant Norris.

I don't have time to rehearse what I'm going to say.

I don't have time to give explanations.

Tell Mr. Norris I know who killed Joanne Huston and her husband.

It's a man named Martin Bader.

During the night, later, You took away my daughter.

He took it away.

She is alone with this man.

They must be at the Hustons'.

♪ go there right away.

♪ need help.

Knock knock. Knock knock...

Knock knock, peak and peak.

...

Listen. I am a computer.

Isn't your name Jenny?

Me too, I hear what you are saying.

Jenny was recorded. She's never been here.

A recording.

Where is she?

She must be on her way.

Maybe she's already home.

She wasn't as scared as you, Mrs. Columbo.

Don't be scared.

I was very careful.

She couldn't see who I was.

Jenny! Jenny, can you hear me?

Jenny, are you okay? Are you in your room?

Mom ? But where are you? I looked for you everywhere.

It's over.

- Are you going to kill me? - Without harming you.

-

Are you going to do it like that?

A lady who wanted to play detective

and investigate an imaginary murder

went at night at the scene of the assassination.

She must have fallen by tripping over one's foot in the carpet.

She broke her neck.

...

Gas? For what ?

- Tell me! - In the kitchen.

When I entered,

I thought that would be a way to make an explosion,

so that the police come to my aid.

I had no other way.

A gas explosion, plus the body of a foreign person,

the police would surely have done an investigation.

Come on !

What traffic!

What is there as heavyweights!

Dad came home. He's in the room.

- Where? - Look at.

He's going to have a heart attack

when he knows I'm a detective.
