Officer Roberts: Put your hands behind your back right now, ma'am!
Victoria: Get your hands off me! Do you know who my lawyer is?
Officer Roberts: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Victoria: Mark! Tell them to stop! You're making a huge mistake!
Mark: The only mistake I made was letting you near my daughter.
The officers placed heavy metal handcuffs around Victoria's wrists and led her out through the grand entrance of the house.
Mark walked back into the living room where the paramedic was finishing up checking Lily's oxygen levels.
Paramedic: Her breathing is stabilizing now thanks to the quick use of the inhaler, but her lungs are inflamed. We need to take her to the hospital for observation.
Mark: I'm coming with you. I won't leave her side.
Lily: Daddy... is that bad lady gone?
Mark: She is gone forever, Lily. She will never come near our family again.
Elena: Mr. Vance, while you were in the study, a detective called the house phone.
Mark: A detective? What did he want?
Elena: He said they have been running a background check on Victoria under her previous name.
Mark: Previous name? What are you talking about?
Elena: Her real name isn't Victoria Vance. It's Victoria Sterling.
Mark: Victoria Sterling... wait, why does that name sound familiar?
Elena: She had two previous husbands in California, Mr. Vance. Both of them were wealthy men who died under mysterious circumstances.
Mark: Oh my God... she wasn't just trying to get the trust fund. She's done this before!
Elena: The police detective is on his way here now with a team of investigators from the state police.
Mark: They need to check every medicine bottle and food item in this kitchen immediately.
Elena: I already locked down the pantry, sir. Nobody touches anything until the forensics team arrives.
