The security control room contained four digital screens showing live footage.
Officer Ramirez sat down in the leather chair and checked the storage drive.
Officer Ramirez: The system is online and recorded all morning activity.
Eleanor stood in the doorway with her arms crossed tightly.
Eleanor: That camera angle does not show the full context of what happened.
David pointed directly at the monitor screen displaying the foyer angle.
David: Rewind the footage five minutes back to eleven o'clock.
The video clip played smoothly across the main high-definition display screen.
It showed Eleanor shouting loudly and lunging her hands toward the child.
It showed Leo stumbling back in fear before David caught him securely.
Officer Miller: That clearly shows reckless endangerment of a young child.
Eleanor: I barely touched his sleeve while trying to guide him downstairs!
David: You screamed that he did not belong in this family!
Richard stepped forward and looked closely at a lower shelf in the vault.
He noticed an old metal lockbox with broken yellow tape around its latch.
Richard: Why is father's private legal lockbox open in here?
Eleanor moved quickly to close the vault drawer, but Richard stopped her.
Richard: Mother, what did you take out of father's papers last night?
Eleanor: That box contains personal letters that do not concern either of you!
David reached into the box and pulled out a stamped envelope from five years ago.
The envelope bore the official mark of a prominent DNA testing laboratory.
David: Why do you have a paternity test result sealed in father's box?
Eleanor turned around and refused to look at her sons' faces.
Eleanor: Put those private documents back where you found them immediately!
David opened the document and read the bold black print at the bottom.
His hands began to shake as he understood the full truth written there.
David: My father knew the truth about Leo all along!
Richard: What does the document say, David?
David: Father took this test himself right before he passed away!
