Officer Miller: Sir, I've secured the cloud footage on a flash drive. The balcony angle is completely clear.
Officer Rodriguez: What does the video show, Miller?
Officer Miller: It shows the suspect walking up behind the victim, placing both hands on her torso, and shoving her over the bar.
The foyer fell into a stunned, heavy silence as the officer's words echoed against the high marble walls.
Julian: You monster. You actually tried to kill her in cold blood.
Evelyn: It was a mistake! She pushed me first! She threatened to ruin my life!
Officer Rodriguez: Evelyn Sterling, you are under arrest for attempted murder, aggravated assault, and grand theft.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am? My family owns half this town!
Officer Rodriguez: Put your hands behind your back right now, ma'am.
Evelyn backed away toward the grand staircase, her eyes wide with frantic, cornered panic.
Evelyn: Julian, tell them to stop! You can't let them put your mother in handcuffs!
Julian: You stopped being my mother the second you pushed my pregnant wife off that ledge.
Evelyn: Think of the family reputation! The media will destroy our company's stock value!
Julian: I don't give a damn about the stock value! I care about my wife and child!
Evelyn: I did it for you! She was going to take half your wealth in a divorce someday!
Clara: I never wanted your money, Evelyn! I only wanted Julian to know who you really were!
Evelyn: You ruined everything! You ruined this family from the moment Julian brought you home!
Officer Rodriguez: That's enough, ma'am. Turn around and stop resisting.
The two officers moved in quickly, grabbing Evelyn's arms and snapping silver handcuffs around her wrists.
Evelyn: Ouch! You're hurting my wrists! I'm going to sue this entire police department!
Officer Rodriguez: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Julian: Take her away, officer. She doesn't belong in this house another second.
Evelyn: Julian! Don't do this! Call our estate lawyer right now! Order him to post my bail!
Julian: Our estate lawyer works for the trust, Evelyn. And as of right now, I am freezing all trust assets pending legal review.
Evelyn: You can't freeze my accounts! I have mortgage payments and legal retainers to pay!
Julian: You can explain that to the judge at your arraignment hearing tomorrow morning.
The officers escorted the weeping, screaming woman down the front steps toward the waiting police cruiser outside.
Julian turned around and walked back to the ambulance gurney where Clara was waiting, taking her cold hand in his.
Julian: It's over, Clara. She's never going to hurt you again.
Clara: Let's just get to the hospital and make sure our baby is safe.
