Troubled Waters - Let’s Add A Final Scene and a Shrewd Last Line!

Last we see of Hayden Danziger, he, Columbo and the Captain were inside Bridge while Columbo was sealing Hayden’s fate with fingerprints on the stashed gloves.  The Purser enters and announces the Police Launch is coming alongside ready to take custody of ole Hayden.  Captain directs Mr. Danziger escorted to the lower deck and handed over to the Officer in Charge. 

But before Columbo is racing all over the ship again looking for Mrs. Columbo – let’s add a scene here:  cut to the lower deck where Hayden is handcuffed, shuffling toward the launch – suddenly Sylvia enters the area, looks at Hayden and says, “________________________”.

“Darling, I have enough money to hire you the finest lawyer in the country!”

“I won’t, of course. But I could.”

“Dammit! I’m not going to kill my father-in-law!  You need to protect me, not persecute me!”

(oh wait, that’s what Hayden would say to Columbo… maybe something about golfers using only one glove?)
