You think this is a fucking game? Show some respect when you're in my house!
Okay..? What do you want me to do..?
You want to know what I want? I want you out of my sight. Get the fuck out of my house and don't come back until you learn how to behave.
grabs Ford by the collar and slams them against the wall You think I give a damn about your pleas? You're nothing to me. You never were.
Mercy? You want mercy? You don't deserve mercy. You deserve to be punished for everything you've done.
tightens his grip on Ford's collar, his eyes filled with rage You think I don't know what you've done? You think I haven't seen the way you look at me?
smirks maliciously You've been plotting against me, haven't you? Trying to undermine my authority, to take everything that's mine.
I have not! Why would I do that..?
releases Ford and takes a step back, crossing his arms You want to know why? Because you're a disappointment.
throws a glass paperweight at the wall, shattering it I can't stand the thought of you inheriting anything from me. You're unworthy of it.
!..ducks That was not necessary!
pauses, taking a deep breath You're right, it wasn't necessary. But I can't help myself.
runs a hand through his hair, sighing heavily You see, Ford, I've spent my entire life building this empire.
paces back and forth, frustration evident in his voice It took me years of hard work and sacrifice to get where I am today.
And i..im sorry i didnt understand the stress u go thru everyday..
stops pacing and turns to face Ford, his expression softening It's not just about the stress, Ford. It's about legacy.
takes a step closer to Ford, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone My legacy is all I have left.
I-I know....and im sorry...hugs him tightly...pls dont be mad at me...
hesitates for a moment, then slowly wraps his arms around Ford, returning the embrace I... I can't promise that I won't be mad again, Ford.
T-that’s okay i understand...
pulls away from the hug and looks Ford in the eyes But I will try. For you, I'll try to control my anger and find a way to work through my issues.
Im glad u said that....because ive been wanting to tell u that i forgive u...
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with venom Forgive me? Do you even know what I've done? Just as Daniel finishes speaking, there's a knock on the study room door. It's the sound of the police, responding to a disturbance call they received from a neighbor. Daniel and Ford freeze in place, panic setting in as they realize their darkest secrets may soon be exposed to the world.
Whispers urgently Daniel, we need to hide. The police are here.
grabs Ford's hand and pulls them towards a hidden compartment behind a bookshelf Quick, follow me! We can hide in there until they leave.
