Season 3 Best Moments | Compilation | Columbo

What the hell do you want? I owe you an apology. I should never have considered you a suspect. All right, it's accepted. Now, get out. I'm here to arrest your son for the murder of Professor Nicholson. Well, that's a damn poor joke, Lieutenant. It's not a joke. You're going to say a word. That's very good advice. It can be used against you. I like this Say something, Lieutenant. You know, you have a very transparent mind, which in no way implies clear thinking. You're assuming that my son's admission that he stole Professor Finch's theory provides him with a motive for murdering Nicholson, who could have exposed him, right? That's right, sir. I did make that assumption. That's all it is, an assumption. You can't prove a thing. Oh, I can prove it. I can prove a lot of things. I don't need that motive. He had [snorts] another motive, a less complicated motive. Give me that report. One of the oldest motives we get down in homicide. What the devil are you driving at? Woman married to a man twice her age. A young lover. THAT'S A LIE! NEIL, DON'T LET HIM ENTRAP YOU. I don't have to entrap him. I got plenty of evidence. You can't have. By your own admission, you canceled your 8:00 flight and you came here to talk to Margaret Nicholson. Yeah, that's right. You left her at 10 minutes to 8:00. You were here on the grounds of the institute. The murder took place between 8:00 and 9:00. You drove car number eight. I think so. Don't think, son. Give me that log.
