Tbh when he checked the prints against Mr Harringtons it wasn't the correct way. It takes a while to make a match using magnifying glasses, so you can tell he was faking it

What made me realise he was faking it was when he blew into the glove to inflate it. That would contaminate any fingerprint or residual sweat inside the glove with his own saliva. I was actually afraid Vaughn would call his bluff and give him his fingerprint!

Love the last desperate attempt by Vaughn to exonerate himself by admitting that he planted the glove. But he was left speechless when Columbo asked him why he would do that.

[@KalOrtPor]

He could've tried to say he had been picking up on Columbo's innuendos and was just paranoid about being accused next, or claiming with all the evidence pointing to Harrington seemingly being ignored he thought he was being a good Samaritan getting them back on track. Really though, the mistake as with most of the well-to-do, alpha types on Columbo was falling for the trap and believing their own hype. It was too late anyway, Columbo already had it all pieced together.

[@joddle23]

@@KalOrtPor yeah, if he were a bit faster thinking, that would probably be the last ditch attempt at a defense... but as you said i think it's too late, and i don't think any jury would buy it. if someone is innocent, it sounds crazy to sabotage evidence to try to incriminate someone else in such a way that you incriminate yourself if you're caught.

[@tubey84]

To be fair, on this occasion he does have the second glove. Normally however Columbo is a prosecutor's worst nightmare.

[@4TheRecord]

Had he not, the case would be thrown out later and the murderer would have got away. Well worth risking evidence to catch the killer, and not needed when you've got a captain who can testify to the admittance of guilt. That's better than all the evidence there.

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

Yeah I think about this a lot. Columbo almost never has any admissible evidence for a trial, a good lawyer would tear down half his cases if they went to court. I think he has a different tact which is pestering the guilty party and unraveling the thing so much in their mind that they can't help admitting what he shows is plainly obvious, finally allowing their guilt to show through. It's an odd cathartic release for everybody, the sort of thing you usually only get in detective shows with carefully written plots and specific emotional beats. In real life its like trying to win every fight by knockout.

[@Cowcow211]

@@TheGreatsagegoku @sundaeExpress Columbo gets a confession from his suspects. Although it's never made much of a point in his episodes. The one in which he identifies a suspect through spoiled wine you hear him ask the person for a confession and then the one involving the fictional Arab country embassy he has the Ambassador sign a confession, although that one is more dodgey as it could be argued it was signed under duress.

You can order them in Europe for 85 euro's but I am afraid shipping is half the price. I personally found where to get them for free,

[@mvjmiranda]

It’s currently available for free on amazon prime. Seasons 1-5.

@@mvjmiranda Since I live in Europe I guess it's not availale to us is it?

METV (free) plays an episode every Sunday night at 8. That was the time slot it was originally scheduled.

@@Pfirtzer I live in France, if you have Amazon Prime Video, Seasons 1-7 should be available for free. Or you can use a VPN to watch Amazon Prime Video from the country you want.

That’s why the suspect looks so familiar, he the old guy(forgot his name) from the British show Hustle.

[@nickycotton6137]

Hard to pick a fave, but this 1's certainly up there.

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

I must watch that one with Patrick Macnee as captain . Hardly glimpsed the first officer, was it Jim Broadbent?

This episode tickled me because poor Columbo was all over the place and ill...But he was cooking with grease when he got around to ol' Mr. Danzinger🤭

Owing to the cruise nature of the episode he’s not wearing his trademark trenchcoat, but he still solves this case in style.
