Officer Roberts: Sir, we received a 911 call reporting an emergency at this address. Is everyone okay?
Mark: Officer, thank God you're here. My wife locked my seven-year-old daughter inside the basement vault without her asthma medicine.
Victoria: That is a complete lie! It was a terrible accident! The door closed by itself!
Elena: She locked it with the brass key, Officer! I saw her do it with my own eyes!
Victoria: Shut up! You are just a disgruntled employee trying to save your job!
Officer Roberts: Ma'am, step back and keep your voice down. We will speak to everyone one at a time.
Paramedic: We need to check the child immediately. Where is she?
Mark: She's on the sofa in the living room. Please, help her!
The two paramedics rushed into the main living room with their medical kits, while two police officers stepped inside the study.
Officer Roberts: Ma'am, is this your bag filled with cash and passports on the desk?
Victoria: I was... I was planning a business trip!
Mark: She was trying to flee the country before I found Lily in the cellar.
Victoria: Mark, how can you do this to me after everything we built?
Mark: You built a house of lies on top of my family's trust!
Officer Roberts: Miss Elena, did you say there is an audio recording of the conversation that just took place?
Elena: Yes, Officer. The home security network saves everything directly to a cloud server and local hard drive.
Victoria: That is an invasion of my privacy! That evidence is illegal!
Officer Roberts: Security cameras inside a private home are completely legal if the homeowner installed them, ma'am.
Victoria: I am a co-owner of this house!
Mark: The deed is in my name alone. You signed the prenup waiving property ownership three weeks ago.
Victoria took a step back toward the open balcony doors behind the desk, her eyes wild with panic.
Officer Roberts: Ma'am, stay where you are. Do not move toward that balcony.
Victoria: You aren't taking me to jail over a sick kid!
Mark: Don't do something stupid, Victoria.
