Edward Herrmann: Mr. Mosbeck

Quotes 

• 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.
