Officer Harrison: Sir, step back. Ma'am, keep your hands where we can see them.
Vanessa: Officer! Thank goodness you're here! My husband and his maid are holding my baby hostage in that room!
David: That is a complete lie! She intentionally endangered our baby with boiling water while recording a video!
Officer Harrison: Everyone calm down. Sir, who is inside the study?
David: My maid, Nann, and my three-week-old son. I asked her to lock herself in for protection.
Officer Harrison: Ma'am, open the door, please. This is the police department.
Nann stood up cautiously, holding baby Noah securely against her shoulder. She turned the lock and slowly opened the heavy door. Two armed officers stood in the hallway, with David looking frantic and Vanessa standing near the entrance, her hair slightly disheveled but her posture cold and proud.
Nann: Officer, please help us. The baby is safe, but she really did try to splash boiling water near him.
Vanessa: She's a lying immigrant maid who wants to ruin my family! Who are you going to believe, officer? A rich, respected public figure or a hired housekeeper?
David: Watch your mouth, Vanessa!
Officer Harrison: Ma'am, quiet down. Sir, do you have evidence of this claim?
David: She was holding her phone. She recorded the whole thing on her phone camera!
Vanessa: My phone is private property! You can't search it without a warrant!
Officer Harrison: Under exigent circumstances involving child endangerment, we can secure the device immediately. Officer Miller, hand over the phone.
Vanessa: No! Stay away from me! You have no right!
The female officer stepped forward and swiftly took the phone from Vanessa's manicured hands. Vanessa lunged forward, clawing at the air, but the officer caught her arms and pushed her back onto the sofa.
Officer Harrison: Ma'am, sit down or you will be placed in handcuffs for obstructing an officer.
David: Check the draft videos or the deleted folder. She always saves her clips there before editing.
Officer Miller: Sir, the phone is locked with Face ID.
David: Hold it up to her face. She's sitting right there.
Vanessa: Close your eyes! Don't look at it!
Vanessa squeezed her eyes shut and buried her face in her knees, but the officer calmly used the passcode David provided—his son's birthdate. The screen instantly unlocked, illuminating the officer's face with a cold blue light.
Officer Miller: I found the video album. Title: 'Tragic Accident Drama - Draft 3'.
David: What... what did you just say?
Officer Miller: There are six previous videos here, sir. In one, she places a heated curling iron near the crib. In another, she stages a fall down the stairs with a doll.
Nann: Oh my God... she planned this. She's been planning this for weeks!
David: You monster! You were planning to hurt our baby for internet fame?!
Vanessa: It's called building a brand, David! Sad stories get ten times more engagement! I was going to make him a star!
Officer Harrison: Put your hands behind your back, ma'am. You are under arrest for felony child endangerment and attempted assault.
