Reporter 1: Ma'am! Over here! Is it true you were forced into domestic servitude by the Sterling family?
Maria: Yes! For six months I had to scrub the very floors my husband paid for, just so I wouldn't lose sight of my child!
Reporter 2: Are you planning to file a lawsuit for fraud and forced labor against Richard Sterling?
Maria: My legal team will handle every single charge that applies to what he did to us.
Richard Sterling: Turn those cameras off! Get these reporters out of my house right now!
Security Officer: Sir, the police have arrived outside. Someone called in a report of unlawful restraint and child endangerment.
Richard Sterling: What?! Who called the police to my home?!
Lead Lawyer: I did, Richard. As an officer of the court, I cannot overlook the documented threats you sent to Mrs. Sterling over the past six months.
Richard Sterling: You traitor! I made you head of legal!
Lead Lawyer: And my job is to protect the estate from criminal liability. You crossed the line, Richard.
Evelyn Sterling: Oh dear lord... the press is going to destroy our stock prices tomorrow morning!
Victoria Sterling: Forget the stock prices, Evelyn! Look at what he did to Thomas's wife and child!
Maria: You all stood by and watched him treat the staff like trash. None of you ever bothered to ask why a five-year-old child kept running to the kitchen to hug the housemaid.
Evelyn Sterling: Maria... we didn't know... we honestly had no idea Thomas was married...
Maria: You didn't care to know as long as your trust fund checks cleared every month.
Leo: Mommy, look! The police officers are here!
Two police officers walked through the main double doors, looking around the lavish ballroom until their eyes landed on Richard Sterling, who stood frozen near the grand staircase.
Police Officer: Richard Sterling? We have a warrant for your arrest regarding grand extortion and forgery charges filed by the district attorney's office.
Richard Sterling: Forgery?! This is a mistake! You can't put handcuffs on me in my own home!
Police Officer: Hands behind your back, sir. Do not make this harder than it needs to be.
