Sophia: What is going on in here?! Why is everyone shouting?!
Sophia stepped through the bedroom doorway, her silk designer coat hanging off her shoulders as she looked at the soaked bed and scattered pills.
Alejandro: Perfect timing, Sophia. We were just talking about your monthly cash payments to Karina.
Sophia: What cash payments?! Alejandro, have you lost your mind?
Karina: Tell him the truth, Sophia! He has it all on camera! He found the brown bag!
Sophia’s face drained of color as her eyes dropped to the purple pill bottles strewn across the sheets.
Sophia: Karina, you foolish girl... why didn't you lock those in the basement safe like I told you?!
Alejandro: So you admit it.
Sophia: I don't admit anything! I was taking care of Mom because you were always traveling for your business meetings!
Alejandro: You were drugging our mother so you could alter her last will and testament!
Sophia: She was going to give the entire fifty-million-dollar estate to a charity foundation, Alejandro! She was leaving us with nothing!
Elena: Because... you never loved me, Sophia... you only wanted... the money...
Sophia looked at her mother in the bed, her expression turning cold, sharp, and bitter.
Sophia: You spent forty years favoring Alejandro! You gave him the CEO position at the family firm and left me with a small trust fund allowance!
Alejandro: Because I worked eighty hours a week at the company while you spent millions on luxury vacations and private yachts!
Sophia: I am a Vance too! I deserved half of everything father left behind!
Alejandro: Father left you a ten-million-dollar inheritance, Sophia! You gambled it all away in Europe!
Karina: Sophia, give me my money! I am leaving this house right now before the police show up!
Sophia: Shut up, Karina! You're not getting another dime!
Karina lunged forward, grabbing Sophia by the collar of her expensive coat as they struggled near the doorway.
Karina: You promised me a full million dollars once the estate transferred to your name!
Sophia: Get your filthy hands off me, you low-class nurse!
Alejandro: Neither of you is leaving this room.
Alejandro walked over to the door, slamming the heavy wooden frame shut and turning the brass lock with a sharp click.
Sophia: Unlock that door right now, Alejandro!
Alejandro: The federal marshals and local police are already in the driveway, Sophia.
