First Deputy: Freeze! Nobody move!.
Two uniform county sheriff deputies rushed through the front double doors, their heavy boots echoing across the grand foyer.
Helena: Officer, thank goodness! These people have subjected me to physical assault and unlawful confinement!.
First Deputy: Mrs. Helena Vance? We have an active warrant for your arrest.
Helena: Arrest? On whose authority? This is a ridiculous domestic dispute!.
David: On the authority of attempted homicide and federal wire fraud charges.
First Deputy: Step away from the railing, ma'am. Place your hands behind your back immediately.
Helena: Don't you dare touch me! Do you know who my primary donors are?.
First Deputy: We know exactly who you are, Mrs. Vance. Now turn around or we will use physical restraint.
Cold steel handcuffs snapped tightly around Helena's wrists as she thrashed against the deputies in furious desperation.
Helena: You will pay for this, David! I will strip every single asset from your accounts before trial!.
David: Your asset control was frozen hours ago, Helena. You have nothing left.
Helena: Clara, you cowardly snake! You planned this ambush from the very beginning!.
Clara: I just wanted to keep my family safe from a predator hiding in plain sight.
Helena: You haven't seen the last of me! I own this county's legal system!.
First Deputy: Keep moving, ma'am. Any further statements will be used directly against you in court.
The deputies guided her firmly toward the front exit, her dark purple silk dress rustling against the marble floor one final time.
Maya: Is the bad lady gone forever now, Daddy?.
David: She's gone, sweetheart. She's never coming back to hurt us.
Clara: Let's get you cleaned up, my love. It's time to put this nightmare behind us.
