 Daniel:  Whatdid she ever do to you?

Victoria:  You must be talking aboutEmily.

Daniel:   Yousent the police to her house.

Victoria:   It was amisunderstanding. I merely answered the questions, and they followed up. Nobodybelieves that Emily murdered Frank¹. It's ridiculous.

Daniel:   Yeah,it is ridiculous. They said his car was found a half mile from here. Now how doI know you didn't murder him? Oh, it feels pretty terrible to be accused ofsomething you did not do. Okay? You don't make these kinds of mistakes, mom.Why did you have Frank investigate Emily anyway?

Victoria:   Because she came outof nowhere and she set her sights on you. She's been hiding a criminal record,Daniel. You should be thanking me.

Daniel:   Theonly thing she was hiding is that her foster² father abused³ her growing up. Shespent two years in juvie for defending herself. Is that what you hoped to find?

Victoria:   I didn't hope to findanything.

Daniel:   Whathappened to you to make you feel so threatened all the time? Or maybe you don'tknow why you hate so much. Maybe it's just who you are. Stay away from Emily. Ilove her.

Daniel:   Iwas the last person in this house to defend you, mom. And now you’ve lost metoo.
