POLICE: The Grieving Husband (quirky consultant)

INT. POLICE STATION – DAY

Crannock and Rikki have just come out of the interrogation room.

Crannock

I was only trying to help.

Rikki

By asking the husband if he'd been having an affair?

Crannock

I wanted to see his reaction.

Rikki

See it? If I hadn't stopped him, you would have felt it.. Right in your face.

Crannock

Who knew he was the physical type?

Rikki

Crannock! His wife was just murdered two days ago.

Crannock

Oh. And when that happens, it's never the husband.

Rikki

I'm not saying that.

Crannock

He could be our suspect.

Rikki

Yes, he could be.

Crannock

I'm glad you -

Rikki

But he could also be a grieving husband.

Crannock

Who just happens to have a second apartment.

Rikki

Wha - Who told you that?

Crannock

My housekeeper.

Rikki

How does she know?

Crannock

He cleans the apartment across the hall. And he recognized him right off from the picture in yesterday's paper.
