this was one of the most memorable endings just because of the shock.
These murderers always make the silly mistake to think that they can befriend Lt. Columbo.
Yes, but beforehand they didn't know that Columbo would take over the examination. They should have read the screen play plot before.
Because all the perps think he's a bumbling buffoon and they are sure they are smarter than him!
One of the greatest 'gotcha' ending of all the lieutenant columbo series..the smug guilty guy gets his come uppance 😁👍
Shouldn't have let Colombo use the phone, schoolboy mistake.
Much bigger mistake hiding the body on your own property & leaving the pager on & working...
If that guy asked where I kept my toilet paper I would be sweating.
"May I use you phone Sir?"
Me: "No"
"Did you hear that?"
That was the sound of your prison cell beckoning you to please enter....😂🤣😂
This is quite possibly the best ending to any Columbo episode ever, which is quite a shock because this is from 1990 when the quality of the writing started to go downhill.
Agreed. in fairness, this was effectively the last series with only 2 'feature length' episodes made later in 2003....
It is good. But I still prefer the "This is my flat...these are my socks...this is my niece!" for the ultimate GOTCHA.
It was either in this season or the one right before where they had the first episode that didn't fit the inverted detective structure of all the previous episodes.
I'm curious if this one also strays from that. I don't remember this episode, I'll have to check it out.
@@eggrollorsoup6052 Was that the one where Columbo goes undercover. That's one of the only episodes I wasn't as keen on.
@@Weird-City I don't think so, but I may have not finished that one. What I remember mostly: You don't know who did it (murder) or how; and neither did Columbo. He kept messing up and everyone, including himself, started losing confidence in him.
I think I learned something about myself. Despite this episode maybe being more sophisticated and clever, I was jonesing for my traditional Columbo plot. I guess there is something comforting in ritual and repetitive plot narratives.
With the first seven seasons, the viewer always knew the who and the how of the murder. The viewer just needed to pay attention and see where the killer messed up on covering it up. And, to guess how Columbo figures it out.
But, this episode I'm talking about, didn't have that. I wasn't prepared; it had a more challenging and sophisticated plot, so, I think I stop watching it. LOL
But, I need to watch those last seasons. I want to watch them all. I think I've seen all the episodes of the first seven at least three times. The last seasons just weren't streaming for me until relatively recently.
This one always dumbfounded me how the guy could be so stupid not to take her pager off.
AND let columbo make a phone call from the next room, after they discussed the missingpager.
It was a good place to hide it; he didn't think anyone would page her but him. When you see how he looks at her, for a split second, he was sorry he killed her; he wasn't himself at the time. 🥴
He thought way too highly of himself and figured Columbo would give up, rookie mistake 😂😂😂😂
None of you predicted it
This was one of the best episodes...when he says towards the end "it's a local call" and smirks , then the very end when you see GOTCHA...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The antagonist in this episode looks like a young Dean Stockwell, who was also in a couple of episodes in the 70s.
Dial in the message - well, that's a sticker. Does this watch have some kind of printer build in?😄
LMAO! That is exactly what I thought!
My guess is that they were afraid it wouldn't be visible enough otherwise.
Trolling
The final scene when colombo discovers the body.... excellent 👍
4:42 Ian Buchanan got so upset that he reverted back to his Scottish accent.
The set design is like a time warp to the early 90s. I miss those days. Btw this is one hell of a episode of Columbo. This same clip posted a few years ago made me and my wife watch the whole series. Twice. And I'm not really big into crime shows.
"Before i go, do you mind if i use your phone?"
"I do mind. Now get out"
There. Problem solved.
The criminals in this series were idiots
All criminals are idiots. Some are brillant, but idiots anyway. Otherwise they wouldn't commot crime. There's something wrong in their brains. Idiots. 😊
See, that's when Columbo pulls out the warrant
The Criminals had a pretty high Hubris, and always underestimated Columbo. They weren't idiots. They simply thought that Columbo was an idiot.
hector keeps showing up in the least expected places
He's in a league of his own. Class ❤️
Nobody could ever be Columbo except Peter Falk.
Great episode of Columbo who didn't give up till he solved it.
He’ll be hearing that beeping in his nightmares.
One of the best endings to a Columbo episode and extremely good for the 1990's series were the episodes were getting weaker, though still enjoyable!
"Columbo cries wolf" is my favourite épisode. So crazy!
My favorite episode from the 1990’s era of shows. Also, I felt that this episode had the best score of any episode in the 90’s era.
Class.....love it when he nails them.👍😎
love this episode...the best one ever. Good villians...good music...good acting...great script. No reason the murder has to happen in the first 15 mins...the biggest set up your ablibi ever
Not a bad gotcha for a more modern episode!
That watch wasn't meant to have a close up on a higher than broadcast TV resolution. What I never noticed before is they put the copper water pipe into the set, a detail that could easily have been ignored.
The ONLY flaw, is that the two workers have NO reaction to the dead body in the wall. Not even an "Ay, dios mio!"
I could tell by the suspects body language stance that the body was in the wall behind him. Being a detective was my best talent.
I enjoyed this episode!!! A great gotcha moment!!! 👍👍
This is arguibly the best episode of the later series and among the craziest in all of Columbo to be honest, which isn't suprising since it was the *last* episode that had Richard Levinson , one of the original writers for 70s Columbo, working on it.
In fact, I think he died around the time that this episode was released too.
Reminds me of an Edgar Allan Poe story about a guy whose wife bought a cat. The guy got more and more annoyed with the cat until one day he tried to kill it. His wife stopped him, but he was so angry, he killed her instead. He bricked her body up in his cellar and the cat disappeared. However his neighbour got suspicious and went into the cellar, where he could hear a noise from behind a wall. He tore the wall down to find the wife's body, and a miaowing cat....
Best Columbo Episode Ever!!!!
He got caught because he talked to the police. Never talk to the police. He incriminated himself.
Truly great episodes were few & far between in the rebooted series, but this along with Columbo Goes to college are better then some of the 70's episodes. This is one of the better Gotcha moments...in this case literally
_"Don't worry, sir, it's a local call"_ is just 😘👌
great episode
Columbo is alive and well on youtube
Brilliant!!!
A fun episode. In many ways a warmed over serving of Season 1 "Blueprint for Murder" where Columbo was induced to excavate a piling by the murderer to find no corpse in front of media all over the site. In this case, the clever twist comes with the complicity of someone who had not been murdered--yet.
He's a genius!!!
Why didnt he order him to leave the place before he could open the wall?
It seems that many people consider this ending one of the best ever.
Moi aussi.
My favourite episod 😀😀😀
Is that the drummer from INXS circa 1987?
This episode was very special, maybe not the best but special.
In top 5 ever
¡Ay, caramba!
Well Columbo being the little boy who cried wolf 🐺 is better then being Jack 🤔 I always thought fallen down and breaking my crown sounds pretty rough 😯Geez next time Jill can get that pail of water herself 😒 and who put this well on top of a hill anyways
6:23 - 6:27
If you told me that was from twin peaks, I'd believe it.
Why is there insulation in an internal wall?
Why would the phone on the corpse keep ringing after Colombo had placed the receiver on the other phone back on it's holder?
Because it is a pager. The caller chooses the number and text and the pager company sends it and the pager keeps beeping until the person acknowledges it.
You must be a Millennial!!
Hate that episode, but satisfying ending.
I liked the main character's accent. Is it Scottish?
What’s the name of this episode? I’m trying to find it on Tubi.
Columbo Season 9 Episode 2 _"Columbo Cries Wolf"_
@PlasmaMongoose thank you for also including the season and episode.

*SPOILER ALERT*
When I watched the movie Sicario and the bodies wrapped in plastic were found in the walls of that house, I immediately thought of this Columbo episode. Made me wonder if the writer(s) of Sicario used this episode as inspiration.
I wish Columbo wasn't smiling at the end. He's discovered the body of a murdered woman. I remember the episode and she wasn't very nice, but she didn't deserve to be murdered. This was not a game.
Agreed it felt out of character
In Columbo's defence, Diane herself was in on her first 'murder', sending him on an embarrassing wild goose chase.
6:55 Did this kind of gadget really existed at that time?
They had Pagers long before this episode was made.
Definitely, a skeleton in the wardrobe (in a wall)
God, I hated everything in this episode except the ending! GOTCHA!
There's an upload from "Ask a Mortician" about some transsexual woman whom had a body in a similar bag in her closet for decades. I strongly recommend a watch!
Pretty sure legally speaking he destroyed his case, since that body was discovered without a warrant, and would be withheld from court.
Pretty sure you never attended law school.
@@larrysmith6797 unreasonable search and seizure apparently isn't in your vocabulary bud.
@@TheSwedishAssassin It's not unreasonable since he had probable cause to make an immediate search of a crime scene.
@@rimshot2270 A sound does not constitute destructive investigation without warrant.
colombo always has warrant before arriving to final confrontation.
"GOTCHA" is only a sticker glued on top of the screen. 😮 Maybe the original liquid crystal display cannot be seen under film light conditions. Anyway, the work is really poor, overlapping, slightly out of parallel orientation.
As amazing as the finale was I disliked that Columbo seemed really spiteful about Hunter being alive and then hits the killer with a "gotcha" which feels a bit out of character for him.
The most idiotic ending ever. The pager is small, the battery is small, the speaker is weak. No one will hear the sound at all
There is a more longahand version but here is the shorter one updated, rechecked, re-researched, redone, refurbished, renewed, renovated and a bit new on top of it:
The mondo Columbus episodes are too short. The old 1950s non not guilty Von Rittenhouser mondo captious Chawin himself found guilty of 6 counts of racism TVs couldn't hold longer ones. Chowin was convicted of 6 counts of racism and accepted our sins for us. They used old CRT Catholic Ray Tubes. They used to use Central Vacuum Theory with CRT or Catholic Ray Tub technology and Motorola involvement with flypaper control to try to make a non racist product
They didn’t have Claw Technology. No harm no fowl. The proof is in the pudding.
Can you prove you’re not a racist? Can you give 10 examples? I’m reaching out to you. Let my team walk you through it. Join the antithetical longahand captious not guilty flyfighter Von Rittenhorse version of the mondo woke movement. It’s all Chowinism
