Law & Order1990

Mr. Mosbeck:
Did you complain that your wife, your poor, dear wife was a burden to you?

Detective Rey Curtis:
No!

Mr. Mosbeck:
That you just prayed that she would go in peace?

Detective Rey Curtis:
No!

Mr. Mosbeck:
That her moment would come soon?

Detective Rey Curtis:
No!

Mr. Mosbeck:
[forcefully] Detective! Didn't you tell Miss Ludlow that you hoped your wife would go in peace? Yes or no, Detective?

Detective Rey Curtis:
My wife has multiple sclerosis! She's in a lot of pain and it's getting worse. What I told Miss Ludlow, what I meant was... that if the condition got worse, I just didn't want it to... no, she's suffered enough already.

Mr. Mosbeck:
Is that a yes, Detective?

Detective Rey Curtis:
I love my wife! More than my own life. And I betrayed her trust once. Just once. But with her love and with God's help...

Mr. Mosbeck:
Your Honor, would you direct the witness to answer the question?

Detective Rey Curtis:
I haven't been unfaithful to her since! I know better! My mistake was trusting Katrina Ludlow. So yes, I've made mistakes as a man. But as a cop? No, sir. I did not tamper with that evidence.
