00:02Miss Celeste, something's wrong.
00:08Really for me?
00:09Of course. Celeste cooks at home every day. It doesn't matter what she wears.
00:17Mr. Preston said the wedding is canceled.
00:20Everyone thought I was just a housewife living off a man.
00:23But no one knew. The house he lives in, the company he runs,
00:27even every penny in his account, was all given by me.
00:31Starting today, cut all financial support for Hale Group.
00:39She needs a finale gown for next week's Met Gala red carpet.
00:42Just let her wear it. Pick another ready-made dress for yourself and stop making a scene.
00:48Mr. Hale is right. Off the rack is perfectly fine, so I'll just find myself a new groom who's willing
00:52to wear off the rack with me.
00:53Celeste Ashard, what did you just say?
00:55Preston.
00:57I'm calling off this wedding.
01:02Celeste, sister, don't be so petty.
01:05Preston just feels bad I don't have a stunning gown for next week's Met Gala.
01:07This wedding dress can show its greatest commercial value only on me.
01:10You're always so gentle. Why was being a reasonable now?
01:13Take it off.
01:15Preston, Celeste's sister is so fierce. I'm scared.
01:17Celeste, have you made enough trouble?
01:19Sienna is the cursing of our company's inner toe for our sore jime.
01:21I allocate resources to her for our future family.
01:23As a full-time housefer, there's no need for you to wear such an expensive wedding dress.
01:27Celia, haven't you had enough?
01:30This custom wedding dress took me half a year. How could you borrow it without asking me?
01:35You want my opinion? This wedding dress cost 3 million US dollars and I paid for it.
01:39Everything you wear and use is given by me, Preston Hale. How dare you talk to me about opinions?
01:42Be grateful. Don't take my kindness for granted.
01:45I suddenly felt he was a total stranger. I didn't want to waste words on him.
01:49Stop!
01:50Let go, Preston!
01:52Celeste, don't be stubborn.
01:53Go pick a ready-made dress obediently and the wedding will be held as scheduled next week.
01:56But if you dare to walk out of this door today,
01:58I guarantee no wedding shop in Manhattan will dare to sell you a dress.
02:02Preston, you disgust me.
02:14This is me teaching my fiancé what rules are.
02:18Sister, don't make troubles anymore. Preston is doing this for you too.
02:21It's going to rain heavily soon and you won't even be able to get an Uber.
02:24Suspend all vol of South Vero forms.
02:26Anyone who takes orders for sale Ashfield will be going against the Hale group.
02:31Celeste, your pride is worthless.
02:33Without me, you have nowhere to live in this city.
02:35I give you two hours to reflect.
02:37If you come around, kneel outside and beg me.
02:51Gemma, come get me.
02:52I'm outside the bridal shop on Madison Avenue.
02:55I'm sorry.
02:56Preston just called my father and threatened that if I dare come to pick you,
02:58the Callaway family's capital chain will bar out.
03:00My dad locked me in my room.
03:02Celeste, please give in.
03:03Preston has lost his mind.
03:15Miss Ashfield, Mr. Preston is showing mercy.
03:19Sienna needs someone to hold her gown for the Met Gala tonight.
03:21Mr. said if you put on this dress and accompany her tonight,
03:24your credit cards will be unfreeze tomorrow and you will still have a place reserved for the wedding.
03:27I can tell Preston he can go to hell.
03:29Celeste Ashmard, don't be ignorant.
03:31Do you still think you're the prospective madam?
03:34You are nothing now.
03:35Without Mr. Preston, you can't even afford a meal.
03:38Let go of me!
03:39What are you doing?
03:51Miss Ashfield, if you had known this would happen earlier, why be so stubborn?
03:55A woman can yield a little and gain everything.
03:56You insisted on going against Mr. Preston, yet you are the one suffering in the end.
04:11How did you get this messy?
04:13Celeste, you're just too stubborn.
04:14Obey me, and I'd never let you suffer like this.
04:18My patience is limited.
04:21Go change into that dress at once.
04:23You will hold Sienna's gown later.
04:25If you dare to ruin it...
04:27Give it back! This is my grandma's relic!
04:29Hold the gown for me, and I'll give it back.
04:31If not, I'll smash it right away.
04:38Celeste, come here.
04:43Open it and take a look.
04:44Your grandfather bought this for me.
04:46I've worn this all my life.
04:48It is not expensive, but it's the most precious gift I've ever received,
04:52for it holds one's truest heart.
04:53Remember, there are many precious things in the world, but only one true heart.
04:58When you meet someone who gives you their most sincere heart,
05:01this person is worth of this brooch.
05:04Trash?
05:04Then take back your heart with Ujas Knight.
05:07Grandma, I'll remember.
05:08Don't cry.
05:09My granddaughter is so beautiful, you should smile from now on.
05:19I'll count to three.
05:20Three, two, one.
05:23I'll do it.
05:25Good girl.
05:26Go now.
05:27Sienna is about to make her entrance.
05:42Saliste Ashworth, did I not make myself clear?
05:45Saliste, come on.
05:46Without you holding my trail, the whole look falls apart.
05:48You're really going to do this to me?
05:51Grab her!
06:00Dear reporters, I'm sorry.
06:03This woman is a small assistant obsessed with me.
06:05She crashed backstage to ruin Mrs. St. James' red carpet.
06:08Take her away!
06:14Celeste Ashburn, this is what happens when you disobey.
06:16Sleep on the street tonight and reflect.
06:20Hello?
06:24I need you.
06:25Lucius, come get me.
06:27Tomorrow I want Preston and his Hail Gumply to disappear from New York.
06:31Ten minutes.
06:32I want Preston to pay with his life.
06:51Saliste.
06:59Lucius, my brooch.
07:02Preston has it.
07:03It was my grandmother's.
07:04I'll get it back and break the hand that took it.
07:12Smash.
07:13Has Celeste frozen to death out there?
07:16Go check.
07:16If she's learned her lesson, let her crawl in and serve drinks.
07:27The brooch.
07:28Hand it over.
07:28Who the hell do you think you are?
07:30Daring to interfere in the Hail family's affairs.
07:44Enjoy your last moment in the spotlight, Preston.
07:46When the sun rises tomorrow, the Hail group will cease to exist.
07:57The legal team is ready.
08:02Connect the video conference.
08:09Mrs. Ashford.
08:13Cut off every funding channel to Hail group.
08:15Initiate the patent recovery process and freeze their core production lines.
08:18I'd submit all the evidence of Preston's years of fraud and embezzling through to BSC and the FBI Financial Crimes
08:23Unit.
08:23Before sunrise, I want Hail group stock to be worthless.
08:25Yes, ma'am.
08:28Find out who the hell junked me last night.
08:29I want a name.
08:30I want him dead.
08:31Preston, come on.
08:31That low life's night had Celeste written all over it.
08:33That's the only move she knows.
08:34No money, no power, no leverage.
08:36Just throwing punches from the shadows like a coward.
08:38And today was supposed to be your wedding day.
08:39So where is she right now?
08:40Probably sobbing in some cheap motel, praying you'll feel sorry for her.
08:43Dream on.
08:44She thinks she's tough?
08:45Fine.
08:45Let's see how long she lasts sleeping on the street.
08:46She brought this on herself.
08:48Get every exempt on the phone.
08:49We're throwing Sienna a party tonight.
08:50Same hotel, same date.
08:51I want all of New York to know Celeste Ashwell couldn't even shine Sienna's shoes.
08:55Mr. Hale, sir, we have a serious problem.
08:57What, someone die or did the company go bankrupt?
08:59We're bankrupt.
09:02Preston, what is going on?
09:03If the company's done, what happens to my film deal?
09:06What about my Dior contract?
09:08Get out.
09:09Everyone get out.
09:14Mr. Hale, our biggest silent investor pulled out midnight last night.
09:17500 million.
09:18Gone.
09:19What the hell are you talking about?
09:20Goldman and J.P. Morgan just sent early withdrawal notices.
09:22And that's not all.
09:23Every core patent we hold just had its license forcibly revoked.
09:26Production lines are shut down and pliers are downstairs right now demanding payment.
09:29This can't be right.
09:29This is impossible.
09:31Why did the investor pull out?
09:32Who the hell owns those patents?
09:33I'm paying you people for what exactly?
09:35How did none of you see this coming?
09:37This is the termination notice from legal.
09:38The silent investor and the patent owner, they're the same person.
09:41Her name is Celeste Ashworth.
09:47Celeste Ashfield, that's impossible.
09:49She was nothing.
09:51She stayed home.
09:52She cooked dinner.
09:52She waited for me to come back.
09:53How the hell was she running the money behind my entire company?
09:58Preston Hale, we have a formal complaint and solid evidence that you've been cooking the
10:01books and embezzling, bouncing up to 200 million.
10:03Your company is also being seized by federal court effective immediately for patent infringement
10:06and debt default.
10:10No!
10:10I never embezzled anything.
10:12I'm being set up!
10:16Take them.
10:25With trembling hands, he called the number he once thought was beneath him.
10:32I was wrong.
10:33I was so wrong.
10:34Pull the money back.
10:35Please.
10:36Please.
10:37I'll do anything.
10:38I already cut Sienna off.
10:39She's gone for good.
10:40Please.
10:40Just give me one more chance.
10:41I'll marry you tomorrow.
10:42I swear.
10:42I'll do whatever you say.
10:43Please don't do this to me.
10:45Preston, I gave you my whole heart.
10:50But now, I hold every card.
10:53You're going to pay back every single thing you took.
10:55Federal prison is exactly where you belong.
10:57Don't call me again.
11:14What are you doing?
11:16Who gave you permission to touch my things?
11:19Get lost.
11:21Read it carefully.
11:22The owner of this penthouse has always been Mrs. Celesta Ashworth.
11:25Anything in this apartment that stinks of dog is to be thrown out with the trash.
11:29No exceptions.
11:36This has to be a stunt Celeste pulled to make me jealous.
11:39She's trying to force me to come find her.
11:40It has to be.
11:48Get out of my way.
11:49I'm here for Celeste.
11:52No invitation.
11:53Trespassers die.
11:54Celeste is mine.
11:56Tell Lucius Vox to get his ass out here.
12:13Celeste Ashworth, stop right there.
12:15You can't marry him.
12:16You are my fiance.
12:17Celeste.
12:32Distinguished guests, apologies for the little scene.
12:35The man lying on the floor is none other than the former CEO of Hale Group, Preston Hale.
12:39Not only did he steal our Celeste's wedding dress, he also lived off Celeste's hidden capital for years, freeloading while
12:45pretending to be a big shot.
12:47So he was a freeloer all along.
12:50Disgusting.
12:50Daring to cause a scene at Lucius's event.
12:53Celeste!
12:53I was wrong.
12:54I was really wrong.
12:55I'll give the dress back to you.
12:56I love you.
12:56Please don't marry him.
12:58Come home with me.
12:59Good setting.
13:04Preston Hale.
13:05I never recycle garbage that's been dirtied.
13:08Throw him into the Hudson River.
13:09A complete industry-wide blacklisting.
13:12Anyone who dares give him so much as a script of food is declaring war on the Vos Group.
13:20No visitors without prior approval.
13:35What are you crying for?
13:36I'm not crying, I just...
13:38It was pouring rain outside that night.
13:40I cracked open the curtain in my room just a sliver.
13:42I just stood there by that window the whole time, thinking,
13:44Where are you right now?
13:46Are you cold?
13:47Did you find somewhere to get out of the rain?
13:49That night, I ended up calling Lucius.
13:52Oh right, there's something I've been dying to tell you.
13:54At the wedding when I was roasting Preston on stage,
13:56Lucius' head of security gave me this look from the audience.
13:59That kind of look.
14:00Like...
14:00So that's why I added the boys' broke-ass free-lump litter part.
14:03The captain gave me a thumbs-up from below, quiet-like.
14:31Well, well, if it isn't the great President Preston.
14:35The 50 million you owe us?
14:37When exactly do you plan to pay it back?
14:40No money?
14:40Then we'll take your organs as collateral.
14:59Please just see me!
15:00I know I was wrong!
15:01I really know I was wrong!
15:03I'm not asking for your forgiveness!
15:04Just give me something to eat!
15:05Preston Hale, even if you kneel until your kneecaps shatter,
15:07You cannot bring back a heart that's already died the way you are now. You're not even fit to be
15:11the mud beneath my feet
15:18Congratulations, it's a girl perfectly healthy
15:36She frowned
15:37She's just making faces. All newborns do that
15:44She's so small. Have you picked a name?
15:48Evangeline. Why that name? To me, you're the good news and so is she
15:57Next week you have a court appearance Preston's case the FBI and SEC have wrapped up embezzlement plus patent
16:02Implangement multiple charges combined the prosecutor has been in touch with you and hopes you'll testify as the primary injured
16:07party
16:07I'll go
16:09It's time for closure
16:12I'll wait for you outside
16:19My client admits to certain financial irregularities but requests the court consider that Hale Group's core operations were long subject
16:25to hidden capital manipulation by a third party and the defendant himself was also a deceiver
16:28The defense is attempting to conflate cause and effect. The defendant's embezzlement is fully documented through bank records and signed
16:33authorizations entirely unrelated to any so-called capital manipulator
16:36Please the injured party's witness may speak
16:42Over the past five years 70% of Hale Group's core patents were held and licensed by my personally owned
16:47offshore companies
16:48Meanwhile 40% of Hale Group's operating capital originated from continuous injections by the Asher and Capital Venture Fund that
16:54I founded
16:55These funds and patent licenses were granted based on my personal trust in Preston Hall
16:59But after obtaining these resources he not only falsified accounts and embezzled funds over an extended period but also diverted
17:05company assets for private use
17:06Including but not limiting goods for a third party incurring its luxurious hotel expenses and transferring assets to private accounts
17:27Well, well, well, well, if it ain't President Hale
17:30Victor sent me to collect your protection money 500 bucks not a big deal, right?
17:34I mean you used to blow a few mil on a wedding dress for your girl 500 is pocket change
17:38for a guy like you, yeah
17:38I don't have any money
17:39No money
17:41No worries
17:42There are other ways to pay
17:44Before rec time ends tonight
17:46You get these over to cell 211 and B Block
17:48Hand them to a guy named Hector
17:51I'm not gonna
18:01Good boy
18:09Well, well, big shot Hale reading magazines now
18:13Yo, boys, get over here
18:14Hale's over here reading about the Plaza Hotel
18:15Missing your old lady, are you?
18:17Which plaza?
18:18The one where Lucius Vos had his wedding?
18:20Damn right it is
18:20That's the wedding where he got pinned to the floor
18:24Give it back
18:36In here, you're nothing but garbage
18:38You get that?
18:50I
18:50Seventeen years
18:55What about Sienna St. James?
18:56What do you plan to do about her?
18:58The three million she transferred from Preston's private account
19:00Every transaction has a complete fun trail
19:03When did you prepare all this?
19:04The night she sent those taunting messages
19:06She thought I was crying
19:07Actually, I was compiling evidence
19:10From now on
19:11The only thing you need to do
19:12During the small hours of the morning
19:13Is sleep peacefully by my side
19:22Are you sure you want to go tonight?
19:26If you don't show up, tomorrow's headline on the New York Post will be
19:29Lucius Vos snubs Empire State Gala
19:30Cuts ties with New York's social scene
19:33The higher you stand
19:34The more you need to show everyone you're standing steady
19:44Don't worry, ma'am
19:45I'll be watching over the Little Miss the whole time
19:46I had the head of security
19:48Go through tonight's guest list ahead of time
19:49Anything I should watch out for?
19:51Preston's mother
19:51Viviana Hale
19:52Her being on the guest list isn't surprising
19:54The Empire State Charity Gala
19:55Never turns away anyone with a donation record
20:07Lucius!
20:08So this is Ms. Ashworth
20:10What an honor
20:11Wall Street says the mastermind behind Ashwin Capital
20:13Is the most mysterious Capital Hunter in years
20:16Didn't expect a young woman in L.E. Sassoud
20:17Showing up to a dinner party
20:19I like her
20:20Lucius, your wife is way more interesting than you
20:23You look stunning tonight
20:27The real show hasn't started yet
20:33She's looking over
20:35I know
20:35I'll go make her leave
20:36No
20:38Let her come
20:39Marrying the richest man in all of New York
20:41That's quite a stroke of luck
20:42Thank you, Mrs. Vivian
20:44But richest might not be quite accurate
20:45Lucius' description is his
20:47Often as mine is mine
20:48Mrs. Ashington
20:49Or should I say Mrs. Voss
20:51I'm not here tonight to catch up on old times
20:53This is a handwritten letter from Preston
20:55From federal prison
20:55These past six months behind balls
20:57He's been reflecting every single day
20:58A mother watching her son waste away behind bars
21:01Can you understand
21:02Mrs. Viviani
21:03Preston Hale's sentence was handed out by a federal court
21:05Based on his own criminal conduct
21:07Empezzlement, patent infringement
21:08Multiple charges, 17 years
21:10That's nothing I can change
21:10Of course you can
21:12Preston is my only son
21:13I spoiled him growing up
21:14Can you bear to watch a young man who once had everything just rot away in prison?
21:18Mrs. Vivian
21:20Preston Hale locked me out of a bridal shop in a rainstorm
21:22Cut off all my cards
21:23Blocked every last escape route
21:24Threw me in the mud
21:25Where were you when all of that was happening?
21:26I'm not taking this letter
21:28Preston's time
21:29He can serve it himself
21:29Mrs. Ashford
21:30You think you've won?
21:32Whether I won or not doesn't matter
21:34What matters is Preston lost
21:36You know I placed seven of my own people on the whole group's board of directors
21:38Preston may be down, but my people are still there
21:41They keep liquidate everything
21:42The funds
21:43What did she say?
21:45She told me Hale Group still has 400 million in offshore assets hidden away by her
21:48You!
21:49Under federal law, failure to report is also a crime
21:53But don't worry, I'm not a prosecutor
21:54I have no obligation to collect evidence for the FBI
21:56But you'd better pray those trust structures in the Bahamas are airtight
22:00Celeste Ashford
22:00You think you're something special?
22:02You're nothing but a gold digger who married up?
22:04I've been running New York High Society for 30 years
22:06You think marrying some rich man puts you above me?
22:09Mrs. Vivian, I recorded that for you
22:11Mrs. Vivian, you've given me quite the surprise tonight
22:13Mr. Lucius, that comment just now
22:15I spoke out of line
22:17A mother will say anything for her son
22:18I hope you can understand
22:19Celeste, it shouldn't be like this between us
22:21Preston did wrong, I won't deny that
22:23But you were together for five years
22:25Five years
22:28Don't you miss what you had, not even a little?
22:30That pearl necklace you're wearing?
22:31Preston bought it with Hale Group's Q2 operating profit
22:33Brilliant
22:36All right, I'll remember your attitude today
22:39Celeste at Ashworth
22:40Oh, by the way, I heard you just had a mom who wears a little girl
22:43Evangeline, right?
22:44What a pretty name
22:44Kids every month
22:45Last month out on Long Island
22:46A baby got snatched right out of her crib
22:48Vivian Hale
22:49I was just concerned about the child
22:51Why so tense, Mr. Lucius?
22:54I've experienced her own
23:00What did you say to her?
23:02Nothing much, just told her the truth
23:04If anything happens to Evangeline
23:05I'll make sure Vivian Hale is alive
23:07To watch herself turn into pieces
23:09She won't just say nothing like Preston
23:11I know
23:12Preston is stupid, so for himself
23:13He's the whole world revolves around him
23:15But Vivian, she's poison
23:16Starting now, the estate goes to maximum security
23:18Evangeline has round-the-clock protection
23:19You really think she'd go after Eveline?
23:20And over a battle of people
23:23There's nothing she wouldn't do
23:24I used to think
23:26Leaving Preston would be the end of it
23:27Turns out I just jumped from one mud pole
23:29Straight into another battlefield
23:36Interesting
23:45Wait for me
23:47Mrs. Hale, the decor is beautiful
23:49White pamini and chisanthalum
23:51Very traditional style
23:52You know flower art, too?
23:54I only know white pamini symbolizes nobility
23:56It's rather ironic for this occasion
23:59Take a seat
24:00I've reserved the main table
24:01Especially for you and Mr. Lucius
24:03There are many important guests tonight
24:05You should have a pleasant chat
24:10Surprise!
24:11I heard you haven't met your stepmother for a long time
24:14Family bonds need mending
24:16I took the liberty of contacting Mrs. Margaret for you
24:19Mrs. Hale, you've been investigating my family background
24:22Business is all about knowing your rival
24:24You looked into my son's accounts
24:25I looked into your family tree
24:26We're even
24:27Margaret was Celeste's stepmother
24:28Less than a year after her mother passed away
24:30She married into the Ashfield family
24:32She spent a decade draining the family trust fund
24:34Transferring all real estate stocks and artworks
24:36Into her own offshore companies
24:38When she turned 18 and found her tuition frozen
24:40She finally realized her stepmother
24:41Had emptied the entire family fortuit
24:43Celeste finished her finance degree on a full scholarship
24:46And built Ashtine to Capital from scratch on Wall Street
24:48Within three years
24:49While Margaret fled to Switzerland
24:50With the stolen family fortune
24:52Living a wealthy life abroad
24:53The two had not met for nearly a decade
24:55What are you trying to tell me?
24:59Everyone has a weak spot
25:01Your past is yours to hide
25:05Margaret told me many interesting things
25:07Your mother's death was not simply heart disease
25:09At 18, you were almost driven out
25:11And worked two years to survive
25:13Enough
25:14Mrs. Vivian
25:16You spent $5 million to buy the name right at tonight's gala
25:18Flow my from Switzerland to New York
25:19Nugged my old scars in front of me
25:20All of this just to force me to sign Preston Settlement Greek
25:22No, no, no
25:23I'm just reminding you
25:24If your past gets exposed
25:25Your company's reputation will collapse
25:27Wall Street never tolerates a tainted founder
25:29This contains all the documents Margaret provided
25:32Your mother's real medical records
25:33The full asset transfer chain of the Ashford family
25:36And the original will signed by your father
25:37Without your name on it
25:38What do you want?
25:40It's simple
25:40First, sign a letter of leniency
25:42To reduce Preston's sentence to within five years
25:44Second, withdraw all claims on Hale's offshore assets
25:46Third, pull your husband's legal team
25:48Out of the Bahamas Trust
25:49That money is Preston's capital for a comeback
25:51What if I refuse?
25:52Tomorrow morning's New York Post headline will read
25:54Wall Street tycoon's dark past
25:56Mysterious mother's death
25:57Family fortune feud
25:58You're clever but not flawless
25:59Everyone has a past
26:01And the past can always be used as leverage
26:06Mrs. Hale, you've made a foolish mistake
26:07What did you say?
26:08You dug up my past and found my weaknesses
26:10But you made a fatal mistake
26:12I've long stopped caring about others' judgment
26:14That only proves I built everything with my own two hands
26:17I never relied on any man
26:18Nor stole from anyone
26:20You keep this USB drive
26:21Feel free to send all those stories to the media
26:23I'd like to see whose story the public will believe more
26:25A self-made Wall Street businesswoman
26:26Or a wealthy lady who stole stepdaughter's fortune
26:29Lucius, let's go
26:34As they walked out of the bank
26:44Are you alright?
26:45I was trembling inside just now
26:48I know, you did well
26:51I've never told you about my mother
26:53You don't have to talk about it now
26:54She didn't die of a heart attack
26:56I was only seven when it happened
26:57I heard my father and Margaret arguing that night
26:59Followed by a loud door slam
27:00The next day they told me she was gone
27:01Her doctor resigned and moved to Switzerland soon after
27:03Do you want to reopen the investigation?
27:04I need a trusted private investigator
27:06To look into her medical records in Switzerland
27:08I'll arrange it right away
27:09We have a legal team in Geneva for cross-court investigations
27:11Lucius, thank you
27:12No need to thank me
27:14You're my wife, your enemies are mine
27:16Miss Ashford, these files hit every major outlet at 3am
27:19Times, Journal, Post, CNN, Fox, Bloomberg
27:21Bloomberg's the only one who called us
27:23The rest are already digging
27:24Get legal, I want a full statement ready now
27:26And call Bloomberg's editor
27:27Tell them I'll sit down with them today, 3 o'clock
27:29Got it
27:29Hey, one more thing
27:30I had our Swiss team pull my mother's original medical records last night
27:33The real ones, untouched
27:34Add a summary to the statement
27:35And pull up everything on her attending physician Robert Keller
27:38He walked out of New York 23 years ago
27:39And landed at some private clinic in Zurich
27:40That clinic, majority shareholder is Margaret Ashworth
27:44At 3 o'clock that afternoon
27:46The interview aired
27:47This is Ashford regarding your mother's death
27:48Yes, I'm formally requesting the New York State DA to reopen the case
27:52We have new evidence showing her attending physician
27:54Had a significant financial relationship with my stepmother
27:57This isn't a family matter
27:59This is a criminal investigation
28:00And the funding behind Ashford Capital
28:02Every dollar has a paper trail
28:04Full bank records, full tax filings
28:06I welcome the SEC, the IRA, any regulator to audit us
28:09If there's a single dollar out of place
28:12I'll take full legal response
28:1324 hours, the story flipped completely
28:15The New York Times ran a full feature
28:16From Waitress to Wall Street, the Celeste Ashworth story
28:18The hashtag Silla Ashfield hit number one across the country in under four hours
28:21Then Vivian's anonymous email was traced
28:23Straight back to her Long Island home Wi-Fi
28:25The truth had a way of finding the light
28:27The day they came for Viviana Hole, it was raining in New York
28:30Viviana Hale
28:31You're being charged with concealing federally seized assets
28:34Money laundering and obstruction of justice
28:36You need to come with us
28:37She didn't fight it
28:38Didn't even look surprised
28:39I lost
28:42Lost to a woman I never once took seriously
28:47Tell Celeste Ashworth she won
28:49But everything she has now
28:50The name, the money, the husband, the baby
28:53My son had all of it first
28:55One day she'll lose everything too
28:57Just like he did
28:59No one answered her
29:02The woman who ruled the east side
29:05Soaked through, falling apart
29:07She was never coming back
29:08When the news came
29:10Celeste was sitting in the rose garden
29:12Vivian's been arrested
29:13What are the charges?
29:14Money laundering, concealing seized assets, obstruction of justice
29:17With everything stacked against her, ten years minimum
29:19Her son's doing 17 in federal prison
29:21Now she goes in to keep him company
29:22That's one way to stay close
29:23Are you okay?
29:24I'm not happy
29:25I'm just done looking over my shoulder
29:26The Swiss team has preliminary findings on your mother
29:29Robert Keller admitted an undisclosed drug through her IV 72 hours before she died
29:32Combined with her heart medication
29:33It would have triggered acute cardiac failure
29:34Did Margaret know?
29:35$200 $200 moved from one of Margaret's offshore own accounts straight to him
29:38Murder?
29:39Yes
29:39I knew when I was seven
29:41Nobody believed a little girl back then
29:43Someone believes you now
29:45Get me the DA's office
29:47I want to file formally
29:48As next of kin
29:48Already done
29:49They're sending someone to the estate tomorrow afternoon
29:51When did you arrange that?
29:53Before you walked into that dinner
29:55Celeste
29:56The moment Vivian started digging into your past
29:58I knew she might have something on your mother
30:00Whatever her reason
30:01Blackmail
30:01Leverage
30:02If that lead was real
30:03It was worth following
30:05Your past deserves justice
30:06And I'm gonna make sure it gets it
30:09What do you think are the five things that are worth putting sooff at school?
30:16No
30:18What do you think are the three things that are worth putting sooff at school
30:20It's only a few things that are worth putting sooff at school
30:20Why, is it room for your mind isuuuu
30:26Another very important thing to do
30:26A few things are Baseball
30:26Oh God
30:28Can you І
30:35Yeah
30:38Mrs. Fawz
30:39Come listen to this, quick
30:42Mama
30:51Mama
30:51Mama
30:52Mama
30:53Mama
30:53Mama
30:53Mama
31:04That's right, Mama.
31:06Mama, Mama, Mama.
31:10Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
31:26This afternoon, I was on a video call in the study, door was open just a crick, Evangeline
31:31was in her walker in the hallway, Linda was watching her.
31:34She rolled that little walker all the way to the study door and then...
31:36And then?
31:37So I paused the meeting.
31:38You paused a video call with Goldman Sachs head of Asia Pacific to go hang out with a
31:42baby in a walker?
31:43She's not crawling on the floor, she was in the walker, and she called for me.
31:47Lucius Voss.
31:48Hmm.
31:48So this little one can't even walk yet, she says da-da one time, and you paused the
31:52biggest meeting on Wall Street when she gets older and starts saying, Daddy, I want...
31:57I'll buy her all of Manhattan.
31:59Evangeline!
32:00Your Auntie Gemma is here!
32:02Ma.
32:03Not ma, it's Gemma.
32:05Gemma.
32:06Mama.
32:07Sula, your daughter only recognizes you, she doesn't even see me.
32:10She just learned mama and da-da, everyone else is still on the waitlist.
32:14What do you mean not yet ranked?
32:15I bought her an entire set of Petit Boss Baby outfits, and that rattle, handmade silver engraved
32:20with her name.
32:21Evangeline, say Auntie Gemma.
32:26Evangeline!
32:27Your Auntie Gemma's here!
32:29Hold on, sweetie, let's blow out the candle first.
32:32Evangeline can't blow out candles yet, she doesn't even know what a candle is.
32:36She's smart.
32:37She's one, Lucius, you're so biased.
32:39Not biased.
32:40Not biased.
32:40Facts.
32:42Evangeline, today marks one whole year since you came into this world.
32:47Mommy's so happy.
33:02The game is over, that is what I said that night.
33:06No, this was not the end.
33:09This was where my real life had only just begun.
33:14I was a 10-year-old doctor, and I've had many children, but here I received the most
33:21big surprise for me.
33:23My daughter, my daughter, had a child of my wife.
33:35I don't know how to do this, but I don't know how to do this.
33:39I don't know how to do this.
33:40It's my brother's daughter.
33:42What? You're going to die for my husband's daughter?
33:45My sister, I'm sorry for you.
33:47I'm sorry for you.
33:48I'm sorry for you.
33:49I'm sorry for you.
33:49I'm sorry for you.
33:50I'm sorry for you.
33:51Come on.
33:53Flora, Val, Val, you're going to die.
33:57Val, Val, Val, Val, Val.
34:00Val, Val, Val, Val, you can't be afraid of it?
34:01I can't let Val, Val, Val.
34:04It's just the same.
34:05Val, Val.
34:06Val, Val.
34:08Val, Val, Val.
34:10Val, Val.
