Not bad as a last episode, intriguing.
The story is:
Justin wants to open a nightclub and everything’s almost ready, he only needs money but Tony assures him that he’ll haev the money in 36 hours.
Tony goes to see his ex-wife Vanessa, wannabe-actress, but she has a new man: Justin. Tony sees a picture of them and gets jealous and aggressive, she pushes him away, he falls down and… dies. Just like that, not really sure of what.
She freaks out because she knows that Tony is the son of a New York Mafia boss, so she calls Justin.
Justin really wants that money, so he tells her to say nothing to anybody. Two days later he has the money on his account, so he goes to Tony’s hotel to make it look like he just left the room. It’d be all over, more or less, but someone saw it all, a tabloid journalist who was following Tony. He has pictures and blackmails them, but Justin doesn’t want to pay, so he kills him instead while Vanessa waits in the car.
This is the murder that brings Colombo to us. It was made to look like a suicide, but Colombo smells mouthwash on the man and checks his foot to confirm he had just cut hisnails, not things one does before haging oneself.
Colombo finds Justin because of some fluo stuff on his car’s tire, then he finds Vanessa because a man left the deceased a message because the journalist promised him money to stay a few hours in his garden, which look directly at Vanesssa’s very stylish home, glass all around and therefore totally on display.
It’s Tony’s family that declares him missing and Colombo doesn’t know how it all went but he knows that Justin is his man, and Colombo isvery observant: there are three fish tanks in the ground, but one of them has fewer fish because it has less water, and that’s because Tony is buried there. Colombo finds this and can now arrest them both.
P.s. How annoying it was that Justin kept telling Vanessa to calm down, every time, barely listening to her :-/
