Elena curled her fingers into the leather straps of her designer purse as two security guards stepped forward.
Security Guard: Ma'am, please empty your handbag voluntarily so we can avoid a scene.
Elena: Get your hands off me! I'm calling the police right now!
Julian: The police won't help you here, Elena. Every local judge is on my retainer.
Clara: Just snatch the bag away from her already!
The close-up static shot captured Elena's tear-stained face as she fought to keep her personal belongings out of their reach.
The woman desperately reaches for her handbag while tears stream down her face.
SFX: Soft crying
Elena: No! Don't touch that!
Security Guard: Sorry, ma'am, orders are orders.
Elena yanked the zipper open with a frantic jerk, her fingers brushing past her keys to find her device.
She grabs her smartphone and calls someone, sobbing uncontrollably.
SFX: Sobbing
Julian: Who do you think you're calling? Your bankruptcy lawyer?
Elena: Someone who is going to wipe your entire corporate empire off the map.
Clara: Oh, please. Nobody in this city has that kind of power over Julian.
Elena pressed the phone tighter against her ear, her voice shaking violently with adrenaline and pain.
Looking furious through her tears, she speaks into the phone.
Voice (Woman - BOLD & DESPERATE): "Dad... destroy them."
Julian: Your father is a retired engineer living in a modest suburb! What is he going to do?
Elena: He's coming, Julian. And he's bringing the federal indictment papers with him.
Can an aging father truly dismantle a billionaire's ironclad monopoly with a single phone call?
Elena: Just wait until he walks through those doors.
