Julian: Shut up, Veronica! Shut your mouth right now!
Veronica: I won't shut up! You tricked me! You told me the compound was just a mild sedative that would make him sign the power of attorney transfer while he was sick in bed!
Arthur: Mild sedative?! Digitalis causes a sudden fatal cardiac arrest in an elderly man within twenty minutes!
Maria: That's why I ran into the room, Mr. Vance! I knew if you took one drink from that glass, you wouldn't survive the night!
Julian: You stupid, worthless maid! You ruined three months of careful planning!
Julian threw his water glass against the marble floor, the heavy crystal shattering near Maria's feet. He made a violent dash toward Maria, his hands raised to grab her neck, but Arthur grabbed a heavy silver candle holder from the dining table and slammed it hard across Julian's arm.
Arthur: Get away from her! Don't you dare lay a finger on the woman who just saved my life!
Julian: You old fool! You were going to leave seventy percent of your estate to this bronze-wearing gold-digger anyway! Why shouldn't I take what is mine by blood?!
Arthur: You have no blood right to anything in this house anymore, Julian! You are a cold-blooded murderer!
Veronica: Arthur, please! I didn't know it was lethal! I swear on my mother's grave I thought it was just a sleeping drug!
Arthur: You slapped my maid across the face to hide a murder plot, Veronica! You are just as disgusting as he is!
Maria stepped back, holding her smartphone securely against her chest while she pressed another button on her screen.
Maria: The emergency dispatcher is on the line, Mr. Vance. I dialed 911 when I pulled out the video recording.
Dispatcher: 911 Emergency, we have your location tracked to 1200 Vance Manor Drive. Officers are arriving at the front entrance right now.
Julian: Officers?! No... no, wait! Turn that off!
Julian turned around and bolted toward the back entrance of the dining room, aiming for the kitchen doors that led to the garage. But as he shoved the double doors open, three uniformed police officers strode into the room with their handguns drawn.
Officer Davis: Police! Freeze! Hands where we can see them!
Julian: Get out of my way! Do you know who I am?! I am the heir to Vance Enterprises!
Officer Davis: We don't care who you are, sir! Down on the floor right now!
