What do you mean?
I made a calculation mistake;
I was fixing it, but when she found out,
she accused me of trying to sabotage her company.
Were you? Trying to sabotage her?
No. Of course not! But...
This happened just after they announced the opening for
Regional Manager and I was blinded by getting the title.
I didn't think twice. I offered Juliette money
to buy her silence because I didn't want the situation
to leave a black mark on my career and spoil my chances
for the promotion.
Wow. So did she take the money?
No. She just dropped me and asked you
to handle her business plans.

The police have her cell phone and her laptop.
I'm not sure if she still has our email exchanges.

OK.
I also got disclosure of evidence,
which I'll take a look at and then we should meet.
Are you available later today?
I don't know. Is it gonna make a difference?
Stacey, you're still his wife.
Nobody knows him like you do.

This file contains everything they have on Jeff so far.
Why a glove?
-It was found on the lawn of the cottage
where Juliette was killed.
It's covered in gun residue.
The police think the killer dropped it
when they were fleeing the scene.
Gun residue. That means the killer was wearing this
when he shot Juliette?
Can we find out what fabric this glove is made of?
Yeah, no problem. I can call the detective. But why?
Jeff has severe allergies.
Right. To what materials again?
Polyester and latex are the worst ones.
He breaks out in a bad rash.
It usually lasts a week or so.
He could have never hid this from me.
Hey, how did it go?
Fine. A little overwhelming
looking at all the evidence.
Where's Mom?
She's upstairs. Probably still picking out an outfit.
Mike told me that Jeff thinks Ellen could have
something to do with Juliette's murder.
What? Ellen?
Apparently, she did something wrong
when she was managing Juliette's business plan
and then offered her a big amount of cash
not to talk about it.
Is there any proof?
Ellen told Jeff there were emails
between her and Juliette.
Mike's on it.

Hey, Mike?
The detective on the case was very quick
getting back to me.
Your hunch was right: the glove is 100% polyester.
This could be great for us.
But I suggest we wait before telling the police.
At least until we get the results of the DNA analysis.
Jeff can't wear those gloves. It's impossible.
-I hear you, but they're gonna do everything they can
to find a loophole...
like saying Jeff could have worn glove liners.
I'll get you the number for his doctor,
but it's a very severe allergy.
I had to buy a new couch and change half my wardrobe
when I met him.
-Oh, I know.
Send me the number of his dermatologist
and if we need to,
I'll have him in court as an expert witness.
I'm confident, Mike.
This is good news, honey!

Just the same way you were allowed
to lose your trust in him.
