Daniel: Dad, take slow breaths. Just breathe. I have you now.
Arthur: The papers... Daniel... she made me sign the transfer papers before she threw me in...
Daniel: Don't worry about any papers right now. Toby, go get a glass of cold water for your grandfather!
Toby: Okay, Dad! Right away!
Daniel helped his frail father out of the suffocating steel vault and guided him carefully to a nearby velvet armchair. Victoria remained on her knees, her face buried in her hands, sobbing loudly as the atmosphere in the hallway turned deathly cold.
Victoria: You don't understand the full story, Daniel. He was going to disinherit us! He was going to give everything to a charity trust fund!
Daniel: So your solution was to murder him slowly inside a locked vault?
Victoria: I wasn't going to murder him! I was just going to keep him in there until the bank confirmed the power of attorney transfer!
Daniel: You are sick. You are absolutely out of your mind.
Arthur: She's been threatening me for months, son. Ever since your mother passed away, she's been draining the family trust fund.
Daniel: Is this true, Victoria? Is that why you were so desperate to manage the family accounts?
Victoria: I sacrificed years of my life caring for this family! I deserved my fair share of the inheritance!
Daniel: You were my wife's sister! We took you in when you had nothing, and this is how you repay us?
Victoria: You were all blind to how much money was slipping away anyway! I just took what was rightfully mine!
Toby: Here is the water, Grandpa. Please don't cry anymore.
Arthur: Thank you, my brave little boy. If you hadn't yelled for your father, I wouldn't have made it out.
Daniel: Look at him, Victoria. Look at what you did to my father and my son today.
Victoria: Daniel, please... we can fix this. We don't have to call the police. Think of the scandal! Think of the family name!
Daniel: The family name? You destroyed this family the moment you put your hands on my son.
Victoria: It was a mistake! He was screaming, he was going to bring the servants over!
Daniel: The servants aren't here because you sent them all home early, didn't you? You planned this whole thing!
Victoria: I had no choice! The lawyers were coming tomorrow morning to review the estate will!
Daniel: Then let the lawyers see everything. Let the whole world see what kind of monster you really are.
