Police cars arrived at the mansion within five fast minutes of call.
Red and blue lights flashed against the large front glass windows.
Two officers walked into the grand foyer with their hands ready.
Detective Lawson walked over to Mark and Sarah near the living room.
Detective Lawson: What happened here in this house today?
Mark: Richard Miller grabbed Miss Sarah and forced her over the railing.
Richard: That is an absolute lie! She slipped on her own shoes!
Richard walked down the stairs slowly with his lawyer on the phone.
Richard: I was trying to save her from falling over the edge!
Maria: That is not true! I saw him grab her wrist!
Maria stepped forward bravely with her head held up high now.
Maria: He fought her for the papers and pushed her backward hard!
Richard: You are just a maid, nobody will believe your word!
Mark walked right up to Richard and stood tall before him.
Mark: Check the security cameras mounted on the chandelier, Detective.
Richard's face drained of all color when Mark mentioned the cameras.
He had forgotten that Mark installed high-definition cameras last month.
Detective Lawson turned toward the security control room down the hall.
Detective Lawson: Show me the footage from the upper balcony right now.
Mark led the detective into the small room behind the office.
The video screen played the entire incident clearly in full high detail.
It showed Richard grabbing Sarah's wrist and yank her toward danger.
It clearly showed him shoving her back over the high stone edge.
It also showed Mark's heroic sprint across the marble room floor.
Detective Lawson walked back into the main foyer with a serious look.
He pulled out his pair of heavy silver handcuffs immediately.
Detective Lawson: Richard Miller, you are under arrest for attempted murder.
Richard: You cannot do this to me! I own this estate!
Detective Lawson: You have the right to remain completely silent right now.
The officer grabbed Richard's hands and cuffed them behind his back.
Victoria began to cry loudly near the front entryway door frame.
Victoria: I had nothing to do with his crazy plan, Sarah!
Sarah: The court will decide that, Victoria.
