Mark: What do you mean check the cameras? She is my wife! What is she being arrested for?
Officer Ramirez: Step away from her, sir. Right now.
Vanessa: Mark, darling, tell them they are making a mistake! I didn't do anything! They just broke into our home!
Officer Brooks: Ma'am, keep your voice down. You have the right to remain silent.
Mark: Officers, please, there has to be a huge misunderstanding. We are an established family here. I am the VP of Harrison Financial. Call our corporate lawyer right now!
Senior Officer: I don't care if you're the President of the United States, sir. Pull up your smart home security app on your phone immediately.
Mark: My app? Why? What happened to my son?
Officer Ramirez: Your son is in the ambulance getting checked for hypothermia because your wife locked him inside a sealed acrylic tank in the bathroom.
Mark: What? No... Vanessa, what is he talking about?
Vanessa: He's lying, Mark! The baby fell! It was an accident! I was trying to give him a bath!
Officer Brooks: A bath in an airtight tank with five inches of standing water while you drank red wine on the couch?
Mark: Vanessa... look at me. Is this true?
Vanessa: Mark, you have to believe me! I love Leo! He's Clara's baby, I would never hurt Clara's baby!
Senior Officer: Pull up the feed from 11:15 AM, Mr. Harrison. The police dispatcher received an automated real-time alert with video footage uploaded directly from your late wife's private cloud server.
Mark: Clara's cloud server? Clara died six months ago during childbirth!
Senior Officer: Then your late wife is still protecting her child from beyond the grave. Look at the screen.
Mark: Oh God... my hands are shaking. Let me open the app.
Vanessa: Mark, don't look at it! Don't listen to them!
Officer Ramirez: Silence her and take her to the cruiser.
Vanessa: Mark! You can't let them take me! The estate papers! The trust fund transfer is today!
Mark: What did you just say? What trust fund transfer?
Vanessa: Nothing! I meant... the family trust for Leo's inheritance!
Mark: The video... it's loading. Oh my God. Vanessa... you said those words to him?
Vanessa: Mark, it's not what it looks like!
Mark: You held my son over that tank and screamed at him about his dead mother!
