The heavy gold-framed mirror in Victoria's dressing room creaked loudly as Arthur pushed it aside, revealing a high-tech electronic wall safe built into the solid concrete.
Officer Hayes: Do you know the passkey combination to this vault, Mr. Vance?
Arthur: No, but Victoria installed this security model through my corporate account two years ago.
Victoria: You'll never get into that safe, Arthur! It has an eight-digit encryption lock that clears all data if failed three times!
Arthur: I don't need a passkey, Victoria. My master biometric thumbprint was programmed into every lock on this estate when we built it.
Arthur pressed his thumb against the glass scanner. A soft green light flashed, and the heavy steel door unlocked with a loud metallic click.
Victoria: No! Stop! You have no legal right to open my personal vault!
Officer Hayes: We have an emergency search warrant active right now, ma'am. Be quiet and stand back.
Arthur reached into the illuminated safe, pulling out three thick black leather binders and four small glass vials filled with clear liquid.
Arthur: What are these vials, Victoria? Why are there medical chemicals hidden inside your personal safe?
Elena: That is synthetic sedative liquid, Mr. Vance. It's the same substance Clara tested positive for before her disappearance.
Arthur: You were poisoning Clara?! You were drugging my wife inside our own home?!
Victoria: That is a complete lie! Those are my personal sleep medication drops prescribed by my private doctor!
Officer Hayes: Look at these documents in this binder, Mr. Vance. These are original patient intake forms from St. Jude's Private Medical Facility in Greenfield County.
Arthur opened the binder, his hands shaking violently as he read the name printed at the top of the official document.
Arthur: Clara Vance... Admission Date: October 14th... Patient Status: Involuntary Confinement under Sedated Care...
Lily: Is Mommy really there, Daddy?! Is Mommy alive?!
Arthur: She's alive, baby... Your mother is alive! She's been locked away in a private facility for two whole years!
Victoria: She was insane, Arthur! She was unstable and unfit to raise a child or be the wife of a powerful CEO!
Arthur: She wasn't insane, you evil snake! You drugged her, faked her car accident, and locked her in a facility so you could steal her fifty-million-dollar estate trust!
Victoria: I did it for us, Arthur! I loved you! Clara was going to divorce you and take half of your corporate shares!
Arthur: Clara loved me with all her heart! You fabricated everything to manipulate me into marrying you!
Elena: I have Clara's original private investigator reports right here, sir. She hired me three years ago because she suspected Victoria was altering her food and tea.
Arthur: You knew about this three years ago, Elena?
Elena: Clara asked me to stay hidden and work as a house maid to gather undeniable evidence against Victoria if anything ever happened to her.
Officer Hayes: This is a massive federal crime ring. Kidnapping, grand estate fraud, poisoning, and illegal medical confinement.
Arthur: Officer Hayes, take this monster to the police station right now. I am taking my daughter and driving straight to Greenfield County to get my wife!
Victoria: Arthur, wait! The facility director won't release her without my signed medical authorization! You can't just take her!
Arthur: Watch me, Victoria. The state police are going to breach those facility doors in less than thirty minutes.
