Evelyn: Look who finally decided to visit me in this disgusting cell. Brought your fancy lawyer too, I see.
Mark: You lied about who you were. You lied about your past. You lied about everything!
Evelyn: I don't know what you're talking about, Mark. I'm a grieving wife who has been wrongfully accused by an unstable little girl.
Richard: Save the performance for the judge, Evelyn. Or should I call you Evelyn Sterling?
Evelyn: ...Where did you get that name?
Mark: We found the yellow envelope in the safe. We know what happened in Miami four years ago to Arthur Sterling!
Evelyn: That was an accident! The police cleared me! I was never charged!
Richard: Because the toxicology results were inconclusive at the time! But with modern lab testing on the liquid retrieved from Mark's kitchen floor today, the DA is reopening Arthur Sterling's case as we speak.
Evelyn: You think you're so smart, don't you, Mark? You think you've won because you caught me early?
Mark: You tried to kill me, Evelyn! You tried to steal my daughter's inheritance and leave her an orphan!
Evelyn: You think I acted alone? You really are as naive as you look.
Mark: What is that supposed to mean?
Evelyn: How do you think I got the exact combination to your private wall safe, Mark? How do you think I knew the exact day your business trip details were finalized?
Mark: ...No. No, that's impossible.
Evelyn: Someone inside your own company helped me. Someone who wanted a piece of that massive corporate trust fund just as much as I did.
Mark: You're lying! You're trying to mess with my head!
Evelyn: Am I? Check your business bank accounts, Mark. Check the transfer logs from yesterday morning before the police took me away.
Richard: Mark, step out of the room for a moment. Don't let her manipulate you.
Evelyn: Go ahead, run home! But remember... even if I stay in this cage, the person who made all of this possible is still standing right beside you in your office everyday!
Mark: Who was it, Evelyn? Tell me!
Evelyn: Give me a plea deal for reduced charges, and maybe I'll give you the name of your partner in crime.
Mark: You get nothing from me. Absolutely nothing.
Evelyn: Then enjoy watching your company burn to the ground from the inside, Mark!
Mark turned on his heel and walked out of the visitor room, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum. He pulled out his phone, his hand shaking as he pulled up his executive banking app.
Mark: Richard... look at this screen right now.
Richard: Oh my God. Two million dollars was wired out of the primary holding account at eight AM today.
Mark: The authorization key came from my senior business partner's private office.
