Security Guard: Yes, Mr. Sterling?
Ethan: Remove Mrs. Sterling from the premises immediately. Do not allow her back inside under any circumstances.
Margarethe: Get your hands off me! I can walk myself out!
Security Guard: Right this way, ma'am. Don't make this difficult.
Margarethe: You'll pay for this, Ethan! Both you and that pathetic nanny!
Ethan turned his back on Margarethe as the guards escorted her down the long driveway. He walked quickly upstairs to the nursery, where Maya was gently wiping the tears from Lily's cheeks with a warm cloth.
Ethan: How is she doing, Maya?
Maya: Her pulse is settling down, but her left wrist has a slight swelling. Margarethe grabbed her very hard.
Ethan: I've already called Dr. Evans. He'll be here in twenty minutes.
Lily: Daddy... is Mommy Margarethe coming back?
Ethan: No, my sweet girl. She is never coming back to this house again.
Lily: She said... she said you were going to send me to a boarding school in Europe.
Ethan: What? Why would she tell you that?
Lily: She said you only loved her now... and that I was taking up space in the mansion.
Maya: She's been telling Lily these awful lies for weeks, Mr. Sterling. Whenever you were away at the corporate headquarters.
Ethan: Why didn't you tell me sooner, Maya?
Maya: Margarethe threatened to fire me and report me to the police for theft if I spoke a word to you. I stayed because I couldn't leave Lily alone with her.
Ethan: You risked your own livelihood and reputation to protect my daughter.
Maya: I lost my own mother when I was young, Mr. Sterling. I know what it feels like to be defenseless in a big house.
Ethan: You saved her today, Maya. If you hadn't caught her when Margarethe pushed her...
Maya: I did what any human being would do.
Ethan: No. Most people in this town would have looked the other way to keep their job. You stood up to a powerful woman.
Lily: Nanny Maya is my hero, Daddy.
Ethan: She's my hero too, Lily. Maya, starting today, your salary is tripled. And you are the head guardian of this estate.
Maya: Mr. Sterling, that's too much... I'm just doing my job.
Ethan: It's not enough for what you've done. But first, we need to deal with the evidence against Margarethe.
Maya: Evidence? What do you mean?
Ethan: The hallway security cameras recorded everything from the moment she grabbed Lily to the moment you dived on the floor.
