00:10:29mom? another window?
00:10:32the bank
00:10:33swiss account 773
00:10:35in a safe
00:10:37i know where he finds us
00:10:42the swiss bank confirmed the account exists
00:10:44account ending 773
00:10:46so mom's memory was right
00:10:47the account is under a shell company
00:10:48sterling linked
00:10:49i saw more
00:10:50in the flash
00:10:50sterling money flows through there
00:10:52every quarter
00:10:52every quarter
00:10:53that's a pattern
00:10:54if we can trace the flow
00:10:55there's something else
00:10:56a safe
00:10:56i saw a room
00:10:57books
00:10:57a fireplace
00:11:00richard's study
00:11:01i don't know
00:11:02i can't see the rest
00:11:03then we make you remember
00:11:05the doctor said
00:11:06every window damages my brain
00:11:09then we find the evidence another way
00:11:12account 773
00:11:14ending in 773
00:11:16identification
00:11:19sealed by court order
00:11:20i can't even confirm its existence
00:11:23who's the winner?
00:11:24i'll have to ask you to leave
00:11:30or
00:11:35the bank is refusing to release records
00:11:37they're citing client confidentiality
00:11:39then buy them
00:11:40i don't care what it costs
00:11:41there's another problem
00:11:42the fbi is asking questions about the account
00:11:45handle it
00:11:46remembering too much
00:11:48worthless
00:11:49just like your mother
00:11:51running away like a coward
00:11:54i should have drowned you at birth
00:11:57no one will ever call me worthless again
00:12:00no one
00:12:09i kept my promise
00:12:14no one ever called me worthless again
00:12:17the damage is progressing
00:12:18each memory window accelerates the process
00:12:20how many does she have left?
00:12:22two
00:12:23maybe three
00:12:23after that
00:12:24after that?
00:12:25permanent memory loss
00:12:26possibly brain dead
00:12:27how do i trigger the next one?
00:12:29mom
00:12:29no!
00:12:30richard tried to kill me once
00:12:31he won't get a second chance
00:12:32extreme emotion is the trigger
00:12:34or a physical shock
00:12:35but i strongly advise you guys

00:12:44i didn't give up on you
00:12:46don't ask me to give up on this
00:12:47i cross-referenced the account number
00:12:48with sterling's known associates
00:12:49there's a pattern
00:12:50what kind of pattern?
00:12:51payments to offshore accounts
00:12:52every quarter for 30 years
00:12:54this is enough for a warrant
00:12:55not yet
00:12:55the account is shielded
00:12:56we need the physical records
00:12:58so we're stuck

00:13:15i don't know what you mean
00:13:18i saw you

00:13:35good
00:13:37good
00:13:57i promise
00:13:59i promise
00:14:00that's the point
00:14:00i promise
00:14:07i promise
00:14:08How close are we to retrieving the drive?
00:14:10The safe requires a fingerprint and a code.
00:14:12We're working on both.
00:14:12Work faster.
00:14:15You confronted Grace.
00:14:18I needed to know.
00:14:20And?
00:14:23She said she won't hurt you.
00:14:26That's not an answer.
00:14:28It's the only one I got.
00:14:31This is FBI issue.
00:14:34Thomas must have given it to you.
00:14:38I don't remember.
00:14:39Then remember.
00:14:43It's not that simple.
00:15:00What?
00:15:11We're not hers.
00:15:20She chose us.
00:15:26We need to talk.
00:15:31What is this?
00:15:32Open it.
00:15:34I know.
00:15:35What?
00:15:37I was five when she adopted me.
00:15:39I remember the orphanage.
00:15:40I was seven.
00:15:42The courthouse.
00:15:43I remember.
00:15:44You both knew?
00:15:46And you never told me?
00:15:47She didn't tell us because she didn't want us to hurt.
00:15:50Not because it matters.
00:15:52Blood is coincidence.
00:15:54Family is who chooses.
00:15:57So she's not our mother.
00:15:59She is our mother.
00:16:01More than any blood ever could be.
00:16:05That we never tell her we know.
00:16:07She wanted to protect us.
00:16:09We protect her.
00:16:12I hope they never find out.
00:16:18You found the papers?
00:16:19Mom!
00:16:20Don't!
00:16:20Let me speak.
00:16:22I was going to tell you when you were older.
00:16:24Then the accident happened.
00:16:26When I woke up I didn't remember anything.
00:16:28Including that.
00:16:29It doesn't change anything.
00:16:30It changes everything.
00:16:32You're not my blood.
00:16:33We don't care.
00:16:35I walked into that orphanage in Ukraine.
00:16:38Saw a little boy with big eyes.
00:16:40Hiding behind a radiator.
00:16:43He didn't speak for three months.
00:16:45But I knew.
00:16:46He needed someone.
00:16:48You were left at a hospital.
00:16:49Pink blanket.
00:16:50A note that said please take care of her.
00:16:52I held you for an hour before I signed the papers.
00:16:55You had bruises on your arms.
00:16:56You didn't trust anyone.
00:16:57In the car on the way home you asked me.
00:16:59Are you my mom now?
00:17:00I said yes.
00:17:01And I meant it.
00:17:03You are my mom.
00:17:08I may not remember building a company.
00:17:10But I remember every single day with you three.
00:17:18She's stronger than I thought.
00:17:32Emotions trigger the windows.
00:17:38Then let's give her something to feel.
00:17:52Is that a janitor?
00:17:53At the Vance Gala?
00:17:57You clean toilets.
00:17:59What are you doing here?
00:18:01Don't worry sweetie.
00:18:02Maybe next year you can scrub our floors.
00:18:08Security?
00:18:09Throw her out.
00:18:11My name is Elena Vance.
00:18:14I founded this company.
00:18:18You?
00:18:19The toilet scrubber?
00:18:22She's not lying.
00:18:24Founder's signature.
00:18:26Elena Vance.
00:18:27Dated 30 years ago.
00:18:28No.
00:18:29Well, well, well.
00:18:34Vanessa Blake.
00:18:35You're under arrest for conspiracy to kidnap.
00:18:37Witness intimidation.
00:18:38And violation of bail conditions.
00:18:42Richard won't let you get away with this!
00:18:46Tell that to the judge.
00:18:52Chris is my son.
00:18:54Chris is my son.
00:18:54Your assistant?
00:18:58He was Richard's mole inside the company.
00:19:02I just found out.
00:19:03Then find him before Richard does.
00:19:06Chris.
00:19:07If you're listening, you have one choice.
00:19:09Come to me, or go to prison.
00:19:14This is just the beginning.
00:19:22Mr. Vance.
00:19:24You sold me out.
00:19:25He threatened my family.
00:19:27My sister, she's sick.
00:19:28He said he'd pull her insurance if I didn't-
00:19:29I don't care why.
00:19:30But I'm giving you a choice.
00:19:32Testify against Richard.
00:19:33Tell everything.
00:19:34Or I'll let the FBI take you.
00:19:36He has recordings.
00:19:37Of my calls with him.
00:19:39He'll release them.
00:19:40I'll bury those recordings.
00:19:41You have my word.
00:19:45Okay.
00:19:49So Chris is testifying.
00:19:50He'll give us everything.
00:19:52Calls.
00:19:53Emails.
00:19:54Payment records.
00:19:55That's enough to bury Richard's.
00:19:56And the U-Pad?
00:19:56That would be the final piece.
00:19:58But we don't know where it is.
00:19:59I saw it in the window.
00:20:00A silver U-Pad in a safe.
00:20:02Where?
00:20:02A room.
00:20:02Books.
00:20:03Fireplace.
00:20:04I don't know who's-
00:20:04I'll cross-reference.
00:20:05Every property Richard owns.
00:20:10About time.
00:20:17Almost done, Dad.
00:20:24Mrs. Vance.
00:20:25I'm John Harrison.
00:20:26The Sterling family attorney.
00:20:29I know who you are.
00:20:30Why are you here?
00:20:32Richard would like to offer a settlement before things get messy.
00:20:35I'm not interested.
00:20:36A generous one.
00:20:37Eight figures.
00:20:38And the return of certain personal effects.
00:20:40Just signed.
00:20:41The past stays buried.
00:20:42Everyone wins.
00:20:45You were there.
00:20:46In 92.
00:20:47You helped him cover it up.
00:20:52I'll give you a week to reconsider.
00:20:55Accidents happen, Mrs. Vance.
00:20:57Even to Janners.
00:21:05You know him.
00:21:07John Harrison.
00:21:09Richard's lawyer for 30 years.
00:21:12He's the one who made the witnesses disappear.
00:21:15Including my father's partner.
00:21:17He threatened me.
00:21:19Accidents happen.
00:21:21He's not bluffing.
00:21:23Harrison has never lost a case.
00:21:25Not one.
00:21:26There's a first time for everything.
00:21:28Maria Clark just sent me Harrison's file.
00:21:30He's been Richard's fixer since 1985.
00:21:32No convictions.
00:21:33No scandals.
00:21:34Clean as a whistle on paper.
00:21:35I dug deeper.
00:21:36He has three offshore accounts.
00:21:37Two in the Kaimans.
00:21:38One in the Sevis News.
00:21:39All linked to the same shell company as Richard's 773 account.
00:21:43So he's dirty.
00:21:44But we can't prove it.
00:21:45He'll make a mistake.
00:21:47They always do.
00:21:48Mom.
00:21:48He threatened you.
00:21:50I'm hiring protection.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52I have Grace.
00:21:53And I have you three.
00:21:55That's enough.
00:21:58She refused the settlement.
00:22:01Tore up the papers in front of me.
00:22:04Then we move to plan B.
00:22:06The UPAN?
00:22:07Move it tonight.
00:22:09Before they get a warrant.
00:22:10And Grace?
00:22:11She's still inside.
00:22:12She could be useful.
00:22:13Let her think she's winning.
00:22:14One more day.
00:22:15Then we burn her.
00:22:17Checkmate.
00:22:24You should sleep.
00:22:26I can't.
00:22:27Every time I close my eyes I see his face.
00:22:29Harrison.
00:22:30And before him Richard.
00:22:31And before him Thomas' body in the rain.
00:22:34We'll get them.
00:22:36All of them.
00:22:37How can you be so sure?
00:22:38Because I've waited 20 years.
00:22:40And I'm still here.
00:22:46Nina wasn't just playing audio.
00:22:48She was recording Elena's brain activity during the windows.
00:22:51Sending the data to Richard in real time.
00:22:53So he knew exactly what mom remembered.
00:22:55Every flash.
00:22:56Every number.
00:22:57That's how he stayed one step ahead.
00:22:58But there's someone else.
00:23:00Nina said it before she was taken.
00:23:01Our eyes are in the house.
00:23:04I've heard that phrase before.
00:23:06It's Richards.
00:23:07It means a deep cover asset.
00:23:08Someone close to the target.
00:23:09Close to mom.
00:23:11That's only one person.
00:23:12Grace.
00:23:13We don't move on Grace yet.
00:23:15She's been sending us intel for two years.
00:23:17She's double agent.
00:23:18Double agent?
00:23:19She could be playing both sides.
00:23:21Every piece of evidence we have on Richard.
00:23:23Grace provided half of it.
00:23:25She wants him in prison more than we do.
00:23:27Then why is she still inside?
00:23:28Because she wants to see him fall herself.
00:23:30Personal.
00:23:31Grace's real name is Grace Petrov.
00:23:33Her father was Victor Petrov, Thomas Vance's best friend.
00:23:36He was murdered two weeks after Thomas.
00:23:38Same method.
00:23:38Breaks cut.
00:23:39She's been waiting 20 years.
00:23:41And she won't stop until Richard is dead or in a cell.
00:23:48Your father.
00:23:50What was his name?
00:23:55Victor.
00:23:58He knew Thomas.
00:24:00They grew up together.
00:24:02Thomas was godfather to my little brother.
00:24:05Richard killed him too.
00:24:09Two weeks after Thomas.
00:24:12Same road.
00:24:13Same mechanic.
00:24:17You've been carrying this alone.
00:24:19Not alone.
00:24:21I had your husband's memory.
00:24:23And now I have you.
00:24:25I sent Richard's men false intel for years.
00:24:28Gave the FBI real intel.
00:24:29Every step.
00:24:29I was there.
00:24:30Why didn't you tell me soon?
00:24:31Because I didn't know if you were still on his side.
00:24:33After the everycident, including your hate for him.
00:24:36I remember now.
00:24:38Not everything.
00:24:40But enough.
00:24:42Enough for what?
00:24:44Enough to finish this.
00:24:45Grace.
00:24:46Grace is compromised.
00:24:46We need to pull her.
00:24:47No.
00:24:48Let her stay.
00:24:49She's still useful.
00:24:51She gave the FBI the safe location.
00:24:53Then we move the U-backs.
00:24:54Tonight.
00:24:56And Grace.
00:24:57She'll find out what happens to people who betray me.
00:25:04Checkmate.
00:25:05Checkmate.
00:25:10Two more days, Dad.
00:25:12Then we're done.
00:25:16The FBI wants to move on the safe by Friday.
00:25:19They need the code.
00:25:20I'm working on it.
00:25:21The window showed numbers.
00:25:22Six digits.
00:25:23But I can't...
00:25:27I came to see my daughter.
00:25:29Is she home?
00:25:33She's resting.
00:25:34I'll tell her you stop by.
00:25:44To apologize for the birthday party, I was harsh.
00:25:52You're new.
00:25:53What's your name?
00:25:54Grace.
00:25:55Grace.
00:25:56Pretty name.
00:25:59Anya Petrov.
00:26:00Worked here years ago.
00:26:02Reminds me of some girl.
00:26:04I wouldn't know, sir.
00:26:06I'm from Ohio.
00:26:08Of course, Ohio.
00:26:09Well, I won't stay.
00:26:10Elena, think about my apologies.
00:26:12Take care of her.
00:26:13I wouldn't want anything to happen.
00:26:16I'm fine.
00:26:18I'm fine.
00:26:18I just had it.
00:26:19Twenty years.
00:26:21And he still almost got me.
00:26:23He came here while we were gone?
00:26:26He didn't come for me.
00:26:28He came to test Grace.
00:26:31And she passed.
00:26:32But he knows.
00:26:34He has to know.
00:26:35He suspects.
00:26:37That's different.
00:26:38We need to move faster.
00:26:39The UPAN.
00:26:40The safe.
00:26:41Everything.
00:26:43I've been running algorithms on possible codes.
00:26:45Based on dates that would mean something to mom.
00:26:48Like what?
00:26:49Her wedding date.
00:26:51October 10, 1988.
00:26:53October 10, 1988.
00:26:55That's six digits.
00:26:571-0-1-0-88.
00:26:58Thomas said to me once.
00:27:00Set the code to something you'll never forget.
00:27:02The day you stopped being afraid.
00:27:04When was that?
00:27:05The day I married him.
00:27:0610-10-88.
00:27:07I'll send it to Maria.
00:27:08You remember the code.
00:27:11I remember his voice.
00:27:13The day you stopped being afraid.
00:27:15Were you?
00:27:16Terrified.
00:27:17Marrying Thomas meant leaving Richard's control.
00:27:20He threatened to disown me.
00:27:21To hurt Thomas.
00:27:22But I did it anyway.
00:27:23That's courage.
00:27:24Not lack of fear.
00:27:26Acting despite it.
00:27:28Thomas said the same thing.
00:27:31Tomorrow, we get the UPAN.
00:27:36Your mother saved my career.
00:27:3830 years ago, she was our best asset.
00:27:41Codename Phoenix.
00:27:44That's the word she saw.
00:27:45In the window?
00:27:46She infiltrated Sterling's operation from the inside.
00:27:49Gathered evidence on money laundering, fraud, two murders.
00:27:51Thomas Vance.
00:27:52And Grace's father.
00:27:53Both on Richard's orders.
00:27:55We had enough to indict.
00:27:57But the night before she was supposed to testify...
00:28:00The accident?
00:28:01We found brake lines cut.
00:28:03But the mechanic was paid off.
00:28:05The case went cold.
00:28:07And Elena lost her memory.
00:28:10You've had it.
00:28:11Where is it?
00:28:12That's the problem.
00:28:13That's the problem.
00:28:13She hid it before the accident.
00:28:15Told no one.
00:28:16Not even us.
00:28:17The evidence has been sitting there for 30 years.
00:28:21Waiting for her to remember.
00:28:25How many windows does she have left?
00:28:26Dr. Harrison said maybe two.
00:28:28Maybe one.
00:28:30She uses the last one for the UPAD location.
00:28:33She might not survive.
00:28:34I know.
00:28:36It's Ivy.
00:28:37She thinks the code is one-on-one-88.
00:28:39Wedding for me.
00:28:40That could work.
00:28:41And Grace has Richard's fingerprint.
00:28:42From a glass at the estate.
00:28:43Then we move tonight.
00:28:46Marcus called.
00:28:48Told me about the code.
00:28:52You have Richard's fingerprint?
00:28:54From a glass at the estate.
00:28:56Two weeks ago.
00:28:57How did you know you'd need it?
00:28:58I've been planning this for 20 years.
00:29:00I have prints from every Sterling family event.
00:29:05You're terrifying.
00:29:08The code.
00:29:10101088.
00:29:11Are you sure?
00:29:12I saw Thomas' face when I remembered it.
00:29:14He was smiling.
00:29:17Then it's right.
00:29:18Grace.
00:29:19If something happens to me tonight.
00:29:21Nothing's going to happen.
00:29:22If something happens, take care of them.
00:29:24My children.
00:29:25Nothing's gonna happen.
00:29:27But yes.
00:29:27I will.
00:29:29The study is on the second floor east wing.
00:29:31Two guards at the front.
00:29:33One at the back.
00:29:34Grace will disable the security system from inside.
00:29:37And us?
00:29:38You stay here.
00:29:39This is an FBI operation.
00:29:41She's our mother.
00:29:42We're going.
00:29:45Fine.
00:29:46But you follow my orders.
00:29:47No heroics.
00:29:48We're not heroes.
00:29:49We're children.
00:29:50Roll out in 20.
00:29:52My father used to say that the stars are just holes in the darkness.
00:29:56Light coming through.
00:29:58That even when everything's black, there's always a way out.
00:30:02Then let's go find the light.
00:30:04What did he mean?
00:30:08I remembered something else today.
00:30:13The mechanic.
00:30:14The one who checked Thomas' car the day he died.
00:30:17His name was Viktor Petrov.
00:30:24He didn't just fix cars, did he?
00:30:29He was my dad.
00:30:31Richard paid him to cut the brakes.
00:30:33My dad tried to back out.
00:30:35He warned Thomas.
00:30:36But it was too late.
00:30:39Two weeks after Thomas died, Richard had my dad's car run off the road.
00:30:44Grace.
00:30:49I was 19.
00:30:51I changed my name.
00:30:53I got a nursing degree.
00:30:55And I got a job with the man who murdered my father.
00:30:5920 years.
00:31:00You've been living with him for 20 years?
00:31:04I've been playing him.
00:31:06Feeding the FBNN ninja to the Red Cross.
00:31:11Waiting for the day I could watch him burn.
00:31:25He took your family.
00:31:27He took ours.
00:31:29We're gonna take his life.
00:31:53Every memory window is a localized seizure, Mrs. Vance.
00:31:58Your brain is essentially eating itself.
00:32:00Give it to me straight, Doc.
00:32:03How many does she have left?
00:32:05Two.
00:32:05At most.
00:32:06If she triggers a third, she faces total cognitive collapse.
00:32:10Permanent wipe.
00:32:15Good to know the limit.
00:32:17We know Richard's safe is behind the painting.
00:32:20But the FBI can't open it without the six-digit code.
00:32:23Richard changed the override protocol.
00:32:26He told his lawyer the backup code is linked to the Swiss bank account.
00:32:32Then I need to go to Zurich.
00:32:33No!
00:32:34You heard the doctor!
00:32:36One wrong trigger on that trip and you're brain dead!
00:32:38Thomas died for this evidence.
00:32:39Grace's father died for it.
00:32:40I am not letting Richard walk away because I was too scared to catch a flight.
00:32:47I'll fly commercial.
00:32:48Under the radar.
00:32:50Just the janitor taking a trip.
00:33:03I'll fly commercial.
00:33:04Perfect.
00:33:10Yeah, it's me.
00:33:12I need a favor from your lead flight attendant on LX-17 tomorrow.
00:33:18Tell her there's ten grand in it if she makes the toilet scrubber in 37D wish she never stepped foot
00:33:22on that plane.
00:33:30There you are.
00:33:33It's me.
00:33:34I need you to do something on the flight tomorrow.
00:33:36The janitor in 37C?
00:33:38Make her life hell.
00:33:39There's an extra five grand if you lock her in the bathroom for the whole flight.
00:33:47Time to remind the janitor who she is.
00:33:59She left a note.
00:34:00What is it?
00:34:02Switzerland.
00:34:02Her flight left an hour ago.
00:34:06She's on a plane with Vanessa.
00:34:07The judge released her on bail.
00:34:09Richard arranged it.
00:34:10Vanessa will recognize her!
00:34:12I'll get a private jet.
00:34:13We meet her in Zurich.
00:34:15How long until we land?
00:34:17Four hours.
00:34:18Her plane lands 40 minutes before us.
00:34:20I'm tracking her flight.
00:34:20She's still in the air.
00:34:21What if Vanessa hurts her before we get there?
00:34:23Then I'll kill Vanessa myself.
00:34:24The U-Pen was moved last night.
00:34:26Richard's men got to it before the FBI.
00:34:28The safe is empty.
00:34:28I know.
00:34:29That's why mom went to Switzerland.
00:34:30The bank might have a copy of the records.
00:34:36Well, well.
00:34:37The janitor.
00:34:38Alone?
00:34:39What's wrong?
00:34:39Your rich kids couldn't afford first class?
00:34:43I asked you a question.
00:34:45Go away.
00:34:48Let's see what you brought.
00:34:50Trash bags stole-
00:34:52Don't touch me.
00:35:00You really wanna do this here?
00:35:01This woman assaulted me.
00:35:03I want her removed.
00:35:05Ma'am, please come with me.
00:35:06She paid you.
00:35:08Come with me or I'll have you arrested at the gate.
00:35:11You'll stay here.
00:35:12I have a seat.
00:35:1337 seat.
00:35:14Not anymore.
00:35:15That seat's taken.
00:35:16You sit here or I have the marshals meet you at the gate.
00:35:18How much?
00:35:19Enough.
00:35:20Enough.
00:35:36How did you...
00:35:41You bitch!
00:35:43You touch me again, I'll do worse.
00:35:46And you...
00:35:48I'll make sure you never work on a plane again.
00:36:00Mrs. Vance, your children are waiting.
00:36:09Don't ever do that again.
00:36:10I'm fine.
00:36:12Your neck...
00:36:13She choked you.
00:36:15I've had worse.
00:36:16Any new windows?
00:36:18No.
00:36:18I fought it down.
00:36:19Didn't wanna risk it.
00:36:20Good.
00:36:20The doctor said each one damages your brain.
00:36:22Mom.
00:36:23The U-Pad is gone.
00:36:25Richard's men moved it before the FBI got there.
00:36:27Then we're too late.
00:36:29No.
00:36:30We're just getting started.
00:36:36I've traced Richard's men.
00:36:38They moved the U-Dype to a safe house outside Geneva.
00:36:41We have a window.
00:36:43How long?
00:36:43Eight hours before they transfer it again.
00:36:46Eight hours before they transfer it again.
00:36:48Then we go now.
00:36:49No.
00:36:50This is my fight.
00:36:53Mom.
00:36:54You almost died on that plane.
00:36:56I didn't.
00:36:57And I'm not going to.
00:37:02I know the code.
00:37:03I know the layout of Richard's study.
00:37:05And I know his mind.
00:37:07Let me do this.
00:37:11Fine.
00:37:12But we're coming with you.
00:37:13Three guards inside.
00:37:15Two at the front.
00:37:16One in the back.
00:37:18How do you know?
00:37:20Thermal imaging from a drone I hacked.
00:37:22You have a drone?
00:37:23I have 17 drones.
00:37:25Stay in the car.
00:37:26We'll get the U-Backs.
00:37:27No.
00:37:29I'm going in.
00:37:44Two more.
00:38:13Got it.
00:38:15Let's go.
00:38:16Thirty years.
00:38:19Is that everything?
00:38:21Bank records.
00:38:23Audio recordings.
00:38:25Photographs.
00:38:26Enough to bury Richard forever.
00:38:29Police are seven minutes out.
00:38:30We should go.
00:38:31Thomas.
00:38:33It's done.
00:38:35Hurry.
00:38:36It's this way.
00:38:42We just broke into a house.
00:38:44We retrieved stolen evidence.
00:38:46It's not breaking.
00:38:47It's recovering.
00:38:49You okay?
00:38:50I will be.
00:38:51When I see Richard's face in court.
00:38:55Soon.
00:39:02The damage is worse than I thought.
00:39:04The physical trauma on the plane accelerated the deterioration.
00:39:07How many does she have left?
00:39:10One.
00:39:11Maybe.
00:39:12A permanent memory loss.
00:39:13Or brain death.
00:39:15I understand.
00:39:16No!
00:39:17We have the U-Pand.
00:39:18We don't need another window.
00:39:19The U-Pand has evidence against Richard.
00:39:21But I need the last window for something else.
00:39:23What?
00:39:23To remember you.
00:39:24All of you.
00:39:25The day I found each of you.
00:39:29Mom.
00:39:30No.
00:39:31I've spent 30 years forgetting.
00:39:34Let me spend my last memory remembering.
00:39:42Whenever you're ready.
00:39:44Stay with me.
00:39:46We're not going anywhere.
00:39:48Fuck the U-Pab.
00:39:50Fuck Richard.
00:39:52Do you want to come with me?
00:39:54You won't leave?
00:39:55Never.
00:39:57Found on the steps this morning.
00:39:59No name.
00:40:03Her name is Sierra.
00:40:07You're coming home with me.
00:40:09Are you my mom now?
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:12From today, I'm your mom.
00:40:23I remember everything.
00:40:26Marcus behind the radiator.
00:40:29Sierra's pink blanket.
00:40:30Ivy asking me if I was her mom.
00:40:32We're here.
00:40:33We're all here.
00:40:34I didn't use the last window for the U-Pad.
00:40:37I used it for you.
00:40:39We know.
00:40:41Then you know I'm an idiot.
00:40:43A sentimental idiot.
00:40:44The biggest.
00:40:45The window is closed.
00:40:46Her vitals are stable.
00:40:48But, but what?
00:40:49The damage is done.
00:40:51She may not retain these memories for long.
00:40:53Then I'll remember them now.
00:40:54She chose us over the evidence.
00:40:56Over everything.
00:40:57That's who she is.
00:40:58That's who she's always been.
00:40:59Grace texted, the FBI is ready to move on Richard.
00:41:01They have the U-Back data.
00:41:01They don't need mom anymore.
00:41:02Then let's finish this.
00:41:03For her.
00:41:14She used to tell me stories.
00:41:16When I couldn't sleep.
00:41:18Every night.
00:41:18The same story.
00:41:19She never told me stories.
00:41:21She sang.
00:41:22Off key.
00:41:23She taught me how to tie my shoes.
00:41:24I was seven.
00:41:25I should have known already.
00:41:27But no one ever taught me.
00:41:28She's the only parent any of us ever had.
00:41:30The only one we needed.
00:41:32We love you mom.
00:41:42Security is disabled.
00:41:43Ivy hacked the system.
00:41:44We have 15 minutes.
00:41:46That's enough.
00:42:01Richard's fingerprint.
00:42:02From a wine glass at his birthday party.
00:42:08Your turn.
00:42:14One, zero, one, zero, eight, eight.
00:42:16One, zero, one, zero, eight, eight.
00:42:24Thomas.
00:42:30This is it.
00:42:35I thought I'd find you here.
00:42:38Stay back.
00:42:40You were always stubborn.
00:42:42Even as a child.
00:42:44I learned from you.
00:42:46Did you?
00:42:47I taught you to be hard.
00:42:49To never trust anyone.
00:42:50And I learned to collect evidence.
00:42:53That UPAN won't hold up in court.
00:42:56I have the best lawyers.
00:42:57Not anymore.
00:42:58The FBI already has a copy.
00:43:02You betrayed your own family.
00:43:05You're not my family.
00:43:08She is.
00:43:09She's not your real mother.
00:43:10She picked you out of a fucking orphanage.
00:43:13You've got nothing.
00:43:13Blood doesn't matter.
00:43:15She chose me.
00:43:16You never chose anyone.
00:43:17Don't.
00:43:19Anya Petrov.
00:43:20I should have killed you when I had the chance.
00:43:21You killed my father.
00:43:23That was your mistake.
00:43:28Richard Sterling.
00:43:29You're under arrest for the murders of Thomas Vance and Viktor Petrov.
00:43:33And the attempted murder of Elena Vance.
00:43:39You think this ends with me in a cell?
00:43:41I know it does.
00:43:42I'll be out in five years.
00:43:45Ten at most.
00:43:46And then-
00:43:46You'll be dead.
00:43:48Or I will be.
00:43:51We'll need that.
00:43:53It's all there.
00:43:54Bank records.
00:43:55Audio.
00:43:56Everything.
00:43:57Either way, I won't be afraid of you anymore.
00:43:59Thank you, Phoenix.
00:44:01I always hated that code name.
00:44:03I know.
00:44:05It's over.
00:44:08No.
00:44:09It's just beginning.
00:44:17Morning, Mom.
00:44:18I brought the Q3 projections.
00:44:20Since Richard is locked up, the board wants you to sign off on the asset freeze.
00:44:29Ivy?
00:44:30What is this?
00:44:31It's your company, Mom.
00:44:33Vance Group.
00:44:34It's all Greek to me.
00:44:36I don't-
00:44:36I don't remember any of this.
00:44:38The numbers.
00:44:39The meetings.
00:44:40It's gone.
00:44:44Why are you crying?
00:44:45I might have lost a company.
00:44:47But I know exactly who you two are.
00:44:53I kept the only treasure that mattered.
00:44:56It's official, Marcus.
00:44:57The grand jury just returned the indictment.
00:44:59First degree murder.
00:45:01Conspiracy.
00:45:02Money laundering.
00:45:03No bail.
00:45:04Richard is going to rot in federal lockout.
00:45:07Thank you, Maria.
00:45:08Don't pop the champagne yet.
00:45:10We hit a wall.
00:45:12What wall?
00:45:14Maria.
00:45:15John Harrison.
00:45:16Richard's lawyer.
00:45:18He caught wind of the raid.
00:45:19He's vanished.
00:45:28Burn the files.
00:45:30All of them.
00:45:34Sterling is a dead man walking.
00:45:36And I don't intend to share his coffin.
00:45:41Move the funds to the Caymans.
00:45:43I'll lay low until the Vance family drops their guard.
00:45:47Then, we handle them.
00:45:54Marcus told me about your memory.
00:45:56About the company.
00:45:58Thirty years of stress, wipe clean.
00:46:00I feel lighter, Grace.
00:46:01You really don't regret it?
00:46:03Not for a single second.
00:46:07Tomorrow, I go to court.
00:46:09I have to look Richard in the eye one last time.
00:46:13And then, I can finally rest.
00:46:20The people call Elena Vance.
00:46:24Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:46:27I do.
00:46:28Mrs. Vance, do you remember the night of your car accident?
00:46:30October 17, 1992?
00:46:32I remember fragments.
00:46:33The rain, the headlights, the feeling of the car going off the road.
00:46:36Objection!
00:46:36The witness attested to memory is unreliable.
00:46:38Overruled.
00:46:38Mrs. Vance, do you recall what caused the accident?
00:46:40I didn't know for 30 years.
00:46:42But now I do.
00:46:43The brakes were cut.
00:46:45Someone tampered with my car the night before I was scheduled to testify against Richard Sterling.
00:46:50Do you have evidence of this?
00:46:52The mechanic who tampered with the brakes.
00:46:54His name was Victor Petrov.
00:46:55He was murdered two weeks later.
00:46:57And who killed Victor Petrov?
00:46:58The same person who killed my husband, Thomas Vance.
00:47:01And the same person who tried to kill me.
00:47:04Richard Sterling.
00:47:05This is outrageous!
00:47:07No evidence!
00:47:08Sit down, counsel.
00:47:09The witness will continue.
00:47:11Mrs. Vance, the USB drive you recovered contained an audio recording.
00:47:14Can you identify the voices on that recording?
00:47:16Yes.
00:47:17One voice is Thomas Vance, my husband.
00:47:19The other is...
00:47:19For the record, the recording has been authenticated by FBI audio analysts.
00:47:23It captures Richard Sterling ordering the murder of Thomas Vance.
00:47:26What did Thomas say to Richard in that recording?
00:47:29He said, you can't do this, Richard.
00:47:30It's murder.
00:47:33And Richard said, it's already done.
00:47:35You will hear the recording in full during deliberations.
00:47:38On the charge of first-degree murder of Thomas Vance, we find the defendant guilty.
00:47:42On the charge of first-degree murder of Victor Petrov.
00:47:44On the charge of conspiracy to commit murder guilty.
00:47:46On all counts, guilty.
00:47:48Richard Sterling, you are sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
00:47:59You think this changes anything?
00:48:01It changes everything.
00:48:05Father, I finally won.
00:48:13Come to gloat.
00:48:14I came to ask you something.
00:48:15What?
00:48:16If your father had loved you, would you have been different?
00:48:21Maybe.
00:48:22But he didn't.
00:48:23So I became this.
00:48:25That was your choice, Richard.
00:48:26Not his.
00:48:27Father, I showed you.
00:48:36This is Ivy Vance.
00:48:37Ivy.
00:48:38It's...
00:48:39It's your mother.
00:48:40I don't have a mother.
00:48:41I know.
00:48:42I know I don't deserve to call myself that.
00:48:44But I...
00:48:44I'd like to see you.
00:48:45Just once.
00:48:46Where are you?
00:48:47Brooklyn.
00:48:48Brooklyn.
00:48:48A hotel.
00:48:49I can send you the address.
00:48:50Send it.
00:48:51I'll come tomorrow.
00:48:53You don't have to go.
00:48:54I know.
00:48:55I know.
00:48:55Then why are you going?
00:48:58Because I need to see her face.
00:48:59To know if I look like her.
00:49:01To know why.
00:49:02Whatever you find.
00:49:03This is your home.
00:49:04You're my mother.
00:49:05She's just...
00:49:06Where I came from.
00:49:08That's a hard truth to face.
00:49:16I'm not afraid of hard truths.
00:49:24You look just like him.
00:49:26Your father.
00:49:27I don't remember him.
00:49:29No.
00:49:30You wouldn't.
00:49:31You were only four when I...
00:49:33When I left you.
00:49:34Why did you leave me?
00:49:36I left because he beat us.
00:49:39I came back.
00:49:40Too late.
00:49:41Someone else raised me.
00:49:43Elena.
00:49:43She's my mother.
00:49:45Is she good to you?
00:49:46No.
00:49:47No.
00:49:48No.
00:49:48She's everything.
00:49:51A plane ticket.
00:49:52Some money.
00:49:53Don't contact me again.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:49:57So am I.
00:50:03How was it?
00:50:04She's sad.
00:50:05Broken.
00:50:06She never stopped being afraid.
00:50:09And you?
00:50:10I'm not afraid.
00:50:11Not anymore.
00:50:13Good.
00:50:15You're the only mother I need.
00:50:17And you're the only daughter I need.
00:50:20Don't tell Sierra.
00:50:25Mrs. Vant, you've asked me to draft a living will.
00:50:28Specifically, the donation of your memory data to medical research.
00:50:31Yes.
00:50:32I, Elena Vant, voluntarily donate all brain imaging data, memory window recordings, and neural
00:50:36response logs to the Elena Vance Institute for Neural Regeneration.
00:50:40I also designate Marcus Vance as my medical proxy.
00:50:43In the event I cannot make decisions for myself.
00:50:47That's correct.
00:50:49Mrs. Vance, are you sure?
00:50:52This is irreversible.
00:50:54I've never been more sure.
00:50:55Mom.
00:50:56You don't have to do this now.
00:50:58If I wait, I might forget why I wanted to do it.
00:51:01Are you afraid?
00:51:03Of dying?
00:51:04No.
00:51:06Of leaving things unfinished?
00:51:08Yes.
00:51:09Where do I sign?
00:51:10Here.
00:51:12And here.
00:51:20It's done.
00:51:22I'll make sure your data is used ethically.
00:51:24Peer reviewed.
00:51:25No corporate exploitation.
00:51:27I trust you.
00:51:29You're really not afraid?
00:51:30I'm afraid of one thing.
00:51:32Losing your faces.
00:51:33That's why I use the last window for you.
00:51:36Not for the U-pad.
00:51:37We'll remind you.
00:51:38Every day if we have to.
00:51:42That's a lot of work.
00:51:47We have time.
00:51:48You signed the papers.
00:51:50You heard?
00:51:50My father used to say that the bravest people are the ones who plan their own endings.
00:51:55He sounds like a wise man.
00:51:56He was.
00:51:57Until Richard killed him.
00:51:58Are you scared?
00:51:59A little.
00:52:00Not of death.
00:52:02Of not being able to say goodbye.
00:52:04Then say it now.
00:52:06While you can.
00:52:09I've already started.
00:52:10To mom.
00:52:12To mom.
00:52:15To all of you.
00:52:17My greatest achievement.
00:52:19The company made foils.
00:52:20The company made money.
00:52:22You three made me.
00:52:23So I've got arch tree down.
00:52:26I Sierra first school frata.
00:52:29I'd forgotten the volcano.
00:52:31It set off the fire alarm.
00:52:33Mom carried the volcano outside while it was still smoking.
00:52:38This is the best night of my life.
00:52:40I'm coming soon.
00:52:42Not too soon.
00:52:43But soon.
00:52:44Thank you for the children.
00:52:46Thank you for the fight.
00:52:47Thank you for the love.
00:52:53Today.
00:52:54We announced the Elena Vance Social Justice Fund.
00:52:58Initial endowment.
00:52:5950 million dollars.
00:53:02The fund will support single mothers.
00:53:04Job training.
00:53:05Legal aid.
00:53:06Mental wise single motherses.
00:53:08Because my mother was one.
00:53:09She worked three jobs.
00:53:11She never complained.
00:53:12She raised us.
00:53:13I made a film about her.
00:53:14It's called The Janitor.
00:53:16It will be released next month.
00:53:18What's the film about?
00:53:19About a woman who lost everything but never lost her children.
00:53:23I'm also announcing the Elena Vance Institute for Neural Rechondration.
00:53:25We will use her donated memory data to develop treatments for traumatic brain injury.
00:53:28Is that ethical? Using a living person's brain data?
00:53:30It's her wish.
00:53:31Signed legally.
00:53:32And it will save lives.
00:53:34How is Mrs. Vance doing?
00:53:38She's resting.
00:53:40She's done her part.
00:53:41Now it's our turn.
00:53:45I don't remember the company.
00:53:47I don't remember the money.
00:53:49But I remember these.
00:53:54My boy.
00:53:57The children are announcing the fun today.
00:54:00I know.
00:54:01They told me.
00:54:04You're not going?
00:54:05That's their stage.
00:54:06Not mine.
00:54:07My stage was a hotel alley with a broom.
00:54:09You're prouder of that than the company.
00:54:11I am.
00:54:12A janitor serves.
00:54:13A CEO rules.
00:54:14I'd rather serve.
00:54:15What do you want to do now?
00:54:16I want to plant something.
00:54:18Another tree.
00:54:19For Ive.
00:54:20Or for you.
00:54:21For me?
00:54:22You're family now.
00:54:24Every family needs a tree.
00:54:25I'd like that.
00:54:28Then let's dig.
00:54:40What's that?
00:54:45Grace's tree.
00:54:47Grace gets a tree?
00:54:49I've waited 20 years.
00:54:51I deserve a tree.
00:54:56The press conference went well.
00:54:57The fund is official.
00:55:00Good.
00:55:02You should have been there.
00:55:04I was there.
00:55:05In spirit.
00:55:06I'm always with you.
00:55:18They're not small anymore.
00:55:20But they still love French toast.
00:55:33You still make it the same.
00:55:36Why would I change it?
00:55:39Mom.
00:55:40It's Mother's Day.
00:55:42Is it?
00:55:43Yes.
00:55:44Second Sunday in May.
00:55:45I don't need a day.
00:55:47Every day is Mother's Day with you three.
00:55:54That's exactly what you said last year.
00:55:56See?
00:55:57My memory is fine.
00:56:05This is from all of us.
00:56:08It's beautiful.
00:56:10Open it.
00:56:14My babies.
00:56:16You can carry us with you.
00:56:21I will.
00:56:23Always.
00:56:25For you.
00:56:27From all of us.
00:56:48It's grown.
00:56:49It's grown.
00:56:50Trees do that.
00:56:52Gamma!
00:56:54Money!
00:56:56I remember this.
00:56:58I scratched it the year I started working at the hotel.
00:57:00Thought I'd use it for good luck.
00:57:07Did it work?
00:57:10I'd say so.
00:57:15I'll leave it for them.
00:57:16I kept my promise.
00:57:17So they remember.
00:57:18The children are happy.
00:57:20The patent is going to the public.
00:57:21Richard is in a cell.
00:57:24I'm ready now.
00:57:29Goodbye, old friend.
00:57:30I'm ready now.
00:57:31I'm ready now.
00:57:35I'm ready now.
00:57:36I'm ready now.
00:57:37I'm ready now.
00:57:38I'm ready now.
00:57:39Three years ago, my mother stood in this alley.
00:57:42She wore a janitor's uniform.
00:57:44She pushed a blue cart.
00:57:45No one noticed her.
00:57:46I told me once, those were the happiest years of her life.
00:57:49Because no one expected anything from her.
00:57:52She could just sweep and think about us.
00:57:55This statue is not for the founder.
00:57:57It's not for the millionaire.
00:57:59It's for the woman who raised three children on a janitor's salary.
00:58:07My documentary, The Janitor, won Best Documentary.
00:58:10But you know what my mother said when I told her?
00:58:13You made a janitor look like a hero.
00:58:15People will think I was acting.
00:58:17She wasn't acting.
00:58:18She was just being.
00:58:20Being strong.
00:58:21Being kind.
00:58:21Being our mother.
00:58:22The Elena Vance Institute for Neural Reconnection has completed its first clinical trial.
00:58:28We've developed a therapy that restores lost memories in patients with traumatic brain injury.
00:58:33We call it the Vance Protocol.
00:58:35My mother's memory data made this possible.
00:58:37She wanted to help people.
00:58:38Now she has.
00:58:40She can't be here today.
00:58:41But she's watching.
00:58:42I know she is.
00:58:46Thank you, Mom.
00:58:55They made me look too young.
00:58:57The statue is beautiful.
00:58:58It's bronze.
00:58:59I'm flesh, bronze.
00:59:00I'm tired, Grace.
00:59:02I know.
00:59:10She didn't come.
00:59:11She said the alley was for us.
00:59:13Not for her.
00:59:13She watched on the tablet.
00:59:15She smiled.
00:59:16Is she sleeping?
00:59:18She's been sleeping more.
00:59:19How much time?
00:59:20No one knows.
00:59:22But she's not in pain.
00:59:23She's not alone.
00:59:25That's what matters.
00:59:31Thomas.
00:59:32I'm coming.
00:59:56It's too quiet without her.
00:59:59She always made noise in the kitchen.
01:00:02Even when she wasn't cooking.
01:00:04She hummed.
01:00:04Off key.
01:00:06She hummed Amazing Grace.
01:00:09I always thought it was for me.
01:00:12Grandma?
01:00:13Grandma?
01:00:14What's this, sweetheart?
01:00:26It's from Mom.
01:00:30To my kids.
01:00:32If you're reading this, I'm gone.
01:00:34Don't you dead cry.
01:00:35I had the best life anyone could ask for.
01:00:38You didn't have to pick me.
01:00:40None of you did, but you did.
01:00:42But you did.
01:00:43And that's the only goddamn reason I turned out okay.
01:00:46And me behind the radiator.
01:00:48Your pink blanket.
01:00:50You asking if I was her mom.
01:00:51Those were my real fortune.
01:00:56Don't bury me in some fancy coffin.
01:00:59Put the money in the foundation.
01:01:01If you miss me, go to the alley.
01:01:04Sweep a little.
01:01:06I was happy there.
01:01:11Thank you for choosing me.
01:01:12Love, Mom.
01:01:16Grandma?
01:01:17Where grandma?
01:01:20Grandma's in the stars, baby.
01:01:22Stars?
01:01:27Grace?
01:01:29She left this for me.
01:01:30In an envelope.
01:01:32With a note that said, for Grace.
01:01:35You earned it.
01:01:36She trusted you.
01:01:38She trusted all of us.
01:01:41You're family, Grace.
01:01:42You always will be.
01:01:49Do you think she knew?
01:01:50At the end?
01:01:52She knew us.
01:01:54That's what mattered.
01:01:56She was the strongest person I've ever known.
01:01:59She wasn't strong.
01:02:01She was stubborn.
01:02:03Same thing.
01:02:07I'm going to the alley tomorrow.
01:02:09To sweep.
01:02:10Sweep?
01:02:11She said she was happy there.
01:02:13I want to understand why.
01:02:16I'll come.
01:02:18We all will.
01:02:29We're here, Mom.
01:02:30Like you asked.
01:02:31Like you asked.
01:02:34Mom's pink blanket.
01:02:36I found it in the attic.
01:02:38I thought you'd want it here.
01:02:39This is from your last birthday.
01:02:41You were laughing.
01:02:42I didn't think you'd want a formal portrait.
01:02:44She gave this to me.
01:02:45But it belongs here.
01:02:47With her.
01:02:48That's the janitor.
01:02:49She used to work here.
01:02:51She always smiled at me.
01:02:53Even when I looked down on anyone.
01:02:55Did you know her?
01:02:56That's who she was.
01:02:57Not the founder.
01:02:58The janitor who smiled.
01:03:01What are you doing?
01:03:02We're starting a new tradition.
01:03:04Every year, we bury a locket with a new memory.
01:03:08For her.
01:03:10What memory did you bury?
01:03:11The first time she taught me to tie my shoes.
01:03:13I was six.
01:03:14She sat with me for three hours until I got it.
01:03:16I buried the smell of her cooking.
01:03:18Sunday mornings.
01:03:19French toast.
01:03:19I buried the sound of her humming.
01:03:21Off Neek.
01:03:22Always.
01:03:24What memory do you want to bury, little one?
01:03:27Gamma's coin!
01:03:34Where did you find this?
01:03:36Garden!
01:03:36Gamma's garden!
01:03:38She carried this coin.
01:03:41For years.
01:03:43It's just a quarter.
01:03:45No.
01:03:46It's hers.
01:03:50Thank you, mom.
01:03:52For everything.
01:03:56To mom.
01:03:57To mom.
01:04:00She would have hated all this fuss.
01:04:03She would have said, you're all wasting your time.
01:04:06And then she would have made us dinner.
01:04:10She's not gone.
01:04:11She's just somewhere else.
01:04:14Watching.
01:04:16Humming off too.
01:04:23She used to wake up at four in the morning.
01:04:26Every day.
01:04:27Even after she stopped work.
01:04:29Mom.
01:04:30It's four in the morning.
01:04:32I know.
01:04:33But I couldn't sleep.
01:04:35So I cooked.
01:04:38Whew.
01:04:40Why can't you sleep?
01:04:45Because I'm thinking about you.
01:04:48About your future.
01:04:50About how proud I am.
01:04:52Mommy.
01:04:53Stay.
01:04:54I'm not going anywhere.
01:04:56Even when I'm big?
01:04:57Even when you're big.
01:04:59Even when you have your own babies.
01:05:01I'll be there.
01:05:03She taught me that family isn't blood.
01:05:06It's who stays.
01:05:08You're coming home with me.
01:05:10Why?
01:05:11Because every child needs a home.
01:05:13And I have room.
01:05:16You won't hurt me?
01:05:19Never.
01:05:19Never.
01:05:23This is where she found herself.
01:05:25Not in the boardroom.
01:05:26Not in the mansion.
01:05:28Here.
01:05:29Sweeping.
01:05:31She said it was honest work.
01:05:33She said it let her think about us.
01:05:35She said it made her happy.
01:05:38Rest now mom.
01:05:40We'll carry the broom.
01:05:52Gamma!
01:05:52I found your money!
01:05:56The defendant, John Harrison, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and tampering with a
01:06:05witness.
01:06:05How do you plea? Not guilty.
01:06:07Your Honor, the people have evidence recovered from the Swiss bank account ending 773 payments to Harrison spanning 30 years.
01:06:12As well as testimony from Richard Sterling who has agreed to cooperate in exchange for a reduced sentence.
01:06:16Bail denied. Remanded to federal custody.
01:06:20You have nothing.
01:06:22We have everything.
01:06:25Run the activation sequence again. The 1108 file.
01:06:29Running.
01:06:30There. That peak. It is not random.
01:06:33What is that?
01:06:34A message.
01:06:43Phoenix is a password.
01:06:44For what?
01:06:54What else did you hide, Mrs. Vals?
01:06:57Agent Clark? It is Dr. Phoenix. I found something in Elena Vance's data.
01:07:01What kind of something?
01:07:02A hidden file.
01:07:02It references a second Swiss account and a name. Someone else involved in the murders.
01:07:07Someone still alive?
01:07:08Not anymore. But his clients are.
01:07:11She didn't just hide evidence against Richard. She hid a whole network.
01:07:14Send me everything. Now.
01:07:16Agent Clark. What was Elena Vance to you?
01:07:20She was a friend. And the bravest woman I ever knew.
01:07:23She is still helping.
01:07:24Even now.
01:07:30You never stopped fighting, did you, Phoenix?
01:07:32This is Amina Clark. I need warrants for the names on this list.
01:07:34All of them.
01:07:35Thank you, Elena.
01:07:39Yeah, Mama! Look!
