Clara: You can't do this to me, Julian! Think about the family reputation! Think about the news headlines!
Julian: The only thing I care about right now is justice for Eleanor.
Eleanor: She's been threatening me for weeks, Julian. Ever since the lawyer opened my father's revised trust fund documents.
Julian: What threats? What did she say to you?
Eleanor: She told me if I didn't sign away my inheritance, she would make sure I disappeared forever.
Clara: She's lying! She forged those legal papers, Julian! She wants to drain our father's bank accounts!
Julian: Silence, Clara! You lost the right to speak when you tried to break her neck on this floor!

Clara: That will was a mistake! He was sick, he wasn't thinking clearly!
Julian: He was completely lucid, and you know it. That's why you tried to kill her today, isn't it?
Clara took a step back from the upper railing, her eyes darting nervously toward the hallway behind her.
Julian: Don't even think about running, Clara. The front gates are locked, and the police will be at the front doors in seconds.
Clara: This isn't over, Julian! You can't prove I pushed her! It's your word against mine!
Julian: Look up at the ceiling, Clara. Right above the balcony balustrade.
Clara froze, slowly looking up toward
