The Rich Man's Wife Page #6

---

- Her story makes perfect sense...

as long as there's

no one to refute it.

So, whether we believe it

or not, I'm going to have to let her go.

You can't do that.

She killed the Wilson guy!

Yeah. And with his record,

she will have no problem...

pleading self-defense.

Just imagine that innocent little

face in front of a jury.

She'll have them eating

out of the palm of her hand.

Come on. We gotta

charge her with something!

No, not without evidence.

Remember that neurosurgeon?

It's because of you, Danny, that I got

the ACLU climbin' all over my ass.

Just give us a couple of hours.

There is one witness that isn't dead.

- Now, who would that be?

- Jake's ex-wife.

- I want to bring her back.

- Why?

What she told us supports Mrs.

Potenza's story. She said it was Jake.

Yeah, but she dreamed

that up to extort alimony from Jake.

He can't pay now. Look. Maybe she's

got one small piece of information...

to help us keep

the merry widow in jail.

Jake is dead, and you think

that Josie killed him.

She is a suspect, yes.

Okay,

that's a mindblower.

All right. Let me just

get my head around this.

Poor Jake.

Yeah, it's a real tragedy.

Yeah...

He still owed me a check.

We were wondering if you had

any information that we should know.

You were friends

with Josie Potenza, weren't you?

Not exactly, Detective.

She was screwing my ex, remember?

It's not like we

hung out together.

Tony was my friend.

He loaned me money.

So he was a good guy,

was he?

As long as you weren't

married to him, yeah.

He defnitely liked the ladies.

He had quite a few.

So it wasn't

a good marriage.

Compared to what?

Tony loved her. I think she loved him.

So they screwed around.

You don't think

she loved your ex-husband.

You got to be kidding me.

I mean, Jake could be

pretty charming...

when he wanted to, but...

Tony was a mensch.

Josie never would have

left Tony for Jake.

Jake knew that.

That's when he decided

to kill Tony.

You don't think Josie

had anything to do with it?

Hello-o?

Did you check out her personality?

I don't think so.

Now, if I were married to Tony,

you might have a case.

Nah. Josie's not the type

to commit murder.

She doesn't have the guts.

Or the brains.

You look like sh*t.

I had a long night.

You were out of there

in record time.

I've had facials

that took longer.

You should have seen me

in there. I was brilliant.

And they call themselves

detectives? Suckers!
