Frank: Clenches fists YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK BACK, HUH? I MADE YOUUU! Show some reespect!
Panetco
I'm no longer part of this family!
Smirks Oh, you think you can just walk away from everything now? Well, I'll tell you something, sharp.
Panetco
I'm going to the press
Steps forward, towering over sharp and her mother Go ahead. Press? Please, do. But remember one thing - I've got connections in this town.
Panetco
I've already talked to a major news station
Snatches his phone and checks for any missed calls or messages Major news station, huh? Let's see how long that lasts when I start spreading my own version of the story.
Panetco
I have proof of your abuse.
Smirks and scans the room for any evidence Proof, huh? Let's see if this so-called proof holds up under scrutiny.
Panetco
pulls out footage of him hurting me
Grabs the footage and examines it closely, looking for any sign of tampering Hmm... So you think this little snippet will ruin me?
Panetco
it will alongside all the other evidence
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Fine. But remember, sharp, evidence can be twisted and presented in many ways.
Panetco
it won't because I'm having it notarized in the morning
Snatches his jacket and storms towards the door Notarized, huh? Fine. I'll make sure you regret ever thinking you could take me down with your little game.
Panetco
you're going to jail
Stops abruptly and turns back towards sharp and her mother Jail? You think this is over? Just wait and see what my lawyer does.
Panetco
he already has a meeting with the DA as we speak
Frank's lawyer meets with the DA and presents evidence that Frank claims proves sharp is manipulating the situation
Panetco
they reviewed the evidence and it's admissible
Grabs his phone and makes a call to his lawyer Admissible, you say? This isn't over. I'll find another way to turn this around.
Panetco
the police are on their way to arrest you
Hangs up the phone, his face turning red with rage Arrest? This is absurd! I haven't done anything wrong!
Panetco
you violating a minor is enough
Starts pacing back and forth, gesturing wildly Minor? You think this is just about some trivial violation?
Panetco
it's child abuse
Slams his hand on the table, knocking over a lamp Child abuse?! I won't let them label me a monster!
Panetco
you're being charged with multiple counts
Grips the bars of the bathroom window, his knuckles turning white Multiple counts?! They won't break me so easily.
Panetco
you'll be going to trial
Whispers to himself, his eyes glinting with determination Trial? Fine. I'll show them all what real power looks like.
Panetco
the judge granted a restraining order against you
Clenches his jaw, his eyes burning with determination A restraining order? They think they've won, but I'll find a way to fight back.
Panetco
there's a hearing tomorrow to determine your sentence
Grabs a stack of papers from his desk and starts scribbling furiously Tomorrow... Tomorrow, they'll hear my side.
Panetco
I have a meeting with the presec before the hearing to discuss sentencing options
Snatches his notebook and starts jotting down ideas Sentencing options, huh? I won't let them decide my fate.
Panetco
they're seeking life in prison due to the severity of injuries inflicted
Slams the notebook shut and stares at the wall, deep in thought Life in prison? I won't let them lock me away for a lifetime.
Panetco
the prosecution is seeking psychiatric evaluation to determine if you're fit to stand trial
Frank's mental health becomes a topic of debate in court as he struggles to prove he is not unfit to stand trial
Panetco
the court ordered evaluation and found you to be unstable
Scatters papers across the table, glaring at the courtroom door Unstable?! They don't know the real enemy here.
Panetco
you're being sent to a mental health facility until a decision can be made
Points at the door, his voice filled with venom Mental health facility? I'll prove them all wrong. I won't be broken by their twisted games.
