Marcus: What happened?! Why is Lily screaming?!
Eleanor: Marcus! Thank God! She was in the pool!
Marcus: What do you mean in the pool?! Who was watching her?!
Evelyn: Marcus, darling, calm down! I just walked out here and saw her fall in! I was about to jump in myself, but your mother got here first!
Eleanor: You liar! You absolute monster!
Evelyn: Excuse me? Eleanor, I know you’re old and confused, but don't you dare accuse me of lying!
Marcus: Mom, talk to me. What did you see?
Eleanor: I was cutting flowers near the rose bushes by the patio wall, Marcus. I saw her look around. I saw her push Lily from behind!
Evelyn: That is a complete fabrication! Marcus, look at her, she’s hysterical! Why would I push a child into a pool?
Eleanor: Because you want her out of the way! You've been talking about the inheritance for months!
Evelyn: Marcus, are you really going to listen to this nonsensical story? I love Lily like my own daughter! It was an accident! She tripped over her toy!
Marcus: Shut up, Evelyn!
Evelyn: What did you just say to me?
Marcus: I said shut up! Look at her! She’s trembling, her lungs are full of water, and you’re standing there dry as a bone complaining about being accused!
Evelyn: Because I am innocent! You’re taking your mother's word over your wife’s?
Marcus: My mother doesn't lie to me! WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Evelyn: Don't yell at me in my own home!
Marcus: THIS IS MY HOME! AND THIS IS MY DAUGHTER!
Marcus stepped up to Evelyn, his body shaking with an intense rage that made Evelyn step back in sudden fear. His veins bulged along his neck as he stared down at the woman he had married just six months ago.
Evelyn: Marcus, please, you’re scaring me...
Marcus: You pushed a two-year-old child into eight feet of water!
A loud, sharp crack echoed across the patio. Before Evelyn could raise her hands, Marcus slapped her across the cheek with full force, sending her staggering sideways against the outdoor sofa. Evelyn gasped, clutching her reddening face in absolute shock.
Evelyn: AH! YOU HIT ME! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!
Marcus: Get out of my sight before I do something worse!
Evelyn: CALL 911 RIGHT NOW! 🇺🇸 CALL THE POLICE! HE JUST ASSAULTED ME!
Eleanor: Yes, call the police, Marcus! Call them so they can arrest a murderer!
Evelyn: I am the victim here! Look at my face! You’re going to jail for this, Marcus!
Marcus: Mom, take Lily inside and wrap her in warm towels. Lock the nursery door from the inside.
Eleanor: What are you going to do, son?
Marcus: I’m going to make sure my wife gets exactly what she called the police for.
