A nice episode, I liked it. We see Colombo giving a lecture, more or less, at a University, for the course of criminology of professor Rusk, and as he’s walking to his car with some of the students, they see the professor in a pool of blood, already dead.
It was interesting. I liked that he told the kids of a previous episode, meaning of a past case that we also saw, when he took a chewing-gum from the bin to match it to a piece of cheese (it was Agenda for Murder, s9e3).
The story is: Justin and Sooper are two rich kids who murder their professor because he wanted them kicked out of the university. Justin tells professor Rusk to meet his dad to talk (his dad is an important man, of course). It’s the same day Colombo’s there. Rusk goes out before he’s finished, and is shot as he reaches his car. The boys are still in class: they used a camera to watch, and the electronic key of the car to fire the gun. Somehow.
They took the second gun of the security guard - not much of a guard, really, but in his defence it’s just a university, and that’s a private parking lot, only for the teachers… and these two students because they give him free sport tickets.
The boys think that Colombo is useless, stupid, and often mock him, he even sees them mocking him. They think it’s all funny.
Their aim is to have Dominic, the guard’s brother, arrested because he has a criminal record.
The shooting gets recorded by a neighbour whose satellite antenna caught the boys’ transmission, which finally gives Colombo the idea for how they did it. To bust them, he ‘lets them know’ he only needs Dominic’s car to search it to close the case. Cooper finds it and puts the gun in there. They’re so sure they were so clever, until Colombo reveals that it’s actually his wife’s car, and they were the only ones who thought it was Dominic’s.
Robert Culp plays Justin’s father. This is the fourth Colombo episode for him, he’s played three murderers and a murderer’s father, quite the record :lol
