Confrontation at the Penthouse

A Mother Recognized Her Missing Son in the Streets

Richard: Eleanor? What are you doing in my office unannounced? And why do you have officers with you?

Eleanor: You thought you could hide him forever, didn't you, Richard?

Richard: I have no idea what you're talking about. You look hysterical. Did you forget your medication?

Detective Vance: Richard Hayes, you are under arrest for kidnapping, child endangerment, and multi-million dollar trust fund fraud.

Richard: This is absurd! On what evidence? You can't just barge into my corporate headquarters!

Eleanor: Walk him in, officer.

Thomas: Hello, Uncle Richard.

Richard: You... how did you get out of the apartment?

Eleanor: You made him beg on the street, right under my nose! You thought I’d never look closely at a child in rags!

Richard: Eleanor, listen to me, this is a massive misunderstanding. I was protecting him!

Eleanor: Protecting him by locking him in a dark basement and beating him?

Richard: The estate was failing! I needed time to reorganize the investments!

Eleanor: You stole my son's life for four years for money!

Detective Vance: Cuff him. Put him in the back of the cruiser.
