00:00:14No evidence. Can't do anything.
00:00:28One year. I promised her one year. But I lied. It's not one year. It's today.
00:01:03Miss White, please sit.
00:01:04Mr. Astral was impressed by your resume.
00:01:08I believe in giving back. Every young artist deserves a chance to shine.
00:01:18You've handled several high-net-wealth divorce crises. Why'd you leave your last firm?
00:01:22Because my client needed me on her side, not on the money's side.
00:01:28Interesting. How do I know you'll be on my sister's side?
00:01:30I don't make promises. I do the job. You'll see the results.
00:01:36Standard protocol. Your personal phone stays with us. You may use this house phone.
00:01:50Welcome aboard, Mrs. White.
00:01:56Jeffrey, I'm inside.
00:02:04They say it's just hormones. Post-portum.
00:02:12It's not.
00:02:16How do you know?
00:02:19Because I've seen this before. The fear. The second guessing. The way you flinch when someone touches your shoulder.
00:02:30He doesn't hit me.
00:02:32There are worse things than hitting.
00:02:36Victoria, did Jeffrey ever hurt someone else? Someone who wasn't you?
00:02:42What do you mean?
00:02:43Before you.
00:02:45Was there ever a scandal?
00:02:46A lawsuit? A woman who disappeared?
00:02:50There was a girl. Years ago. A student.
00:02:53He sponsored her. She accused him of something. Then she dropped out.
00:02:58He said she was lying.
00:02:59What was her name?
00:03:00I don't remember. It was before we got married. He said she was unstable.
00:03:12Unstable. Right.
00:03:23He said no one would believe me.
00:03:33Not unstable. Broken. By you.
00:03:55Mia! Mia, look at me. It's okay, I'm here.
00:03:59He said he'd pay for my art school. He said I was special. Then he...
00:04:04Don't. I believe you.
00:04:10You paid off the school. You didn't even hide it.
00:04:23Almost there, sis.
00:04:28You paid off the school.
00:04:32My thoughts were gone. Because...
00:04:39Ms. White.
00:04:40A word.
00:04:43I understand.
00:04:45Right.
00:04:46You're pushing her too hard.
00:04:48She's fragile.
00:04:50She's not fragile.
00:04:52She's been gas-lifted into believing she is.
00:04:55I don't want you coaching her into a war she can't win.
00:04:58Mr. Astor, do you know everything your brother-in-law does? Everything?
00:05:02What kind of question is that?
00:05:04The kind that matters.
00:05:06He's not just cheating on your sister.
00:05:08He's been doing it for years.
00:05:10Maybe longer than you know.
00:05:12What are you implying?
00:05:13I'm not implying anything.
00:05:14I'm asking if you want to know the truth.
00:05:17All of it.
00:05:18Get the evidence first.
00:05:19Then we'll talk.
00:05:20I will.
00:05:23You know, they're used to seeing snow, but nothing like this...
00:05:34That was another life.
00:05:37Before she was broken.
00:05:40Before I swore I'd make him pay.
00:05:47Can you leave the phone next to her?
00:05:49I just want to hear her breathe.
00:05:54I'm inside, sis.
00:05:56I'm inside his house.
00:05:57I'm gonna make him pay for what he did to you.
00:06:01I promise.
00:06:11What did you find?
00:06:12Background check on Ella White is back.
00:06:15She was fired from her last job, some family in Connecticut.
00:06:18Officially, it was professional misconduct.
00:06:20Off the record, the family's son was abusing his wife.
00:06:24White reported it.
00:06:24They protected the son.
00:06:26Buried her.
00:06:27What's this?
00:06:27A sealed juvenile record?
00:06:29It's sealed.
00:06:29I couldn't access it.
00:06:30But her sister, the one in the care facility,
00:06:32she was a student at an art school five years ago.
00:06:35The same school that received a large donation from the Winthrop Foundation
00:06:38around the same time she dropped out.
00:06:39The Winthrop Foundation.
00:06:41Jeffrey.
00:06:41The timing is... suggestive.
00:06:44Don't dig further.
00:06:45Not yet.
00:06:46But keep this between us.
00:06:48Understood.
00:06:53Ella White.
00:06:55Who are you really?
00:06:59The acquisition of the Renar is a coup for the gallery.
00:07:02Indeed, a masterstroke.
00:07:06Welcome to the team, dear.
00:07:12Thank you so much for coming.
00:07:38You're playing a dangerous game.
00:07:40I don't play games, Mr. Wendethough.
00:07:42I solve problems.
00:07:43Problems.
00:07:44Whose problems?
00:07:47All of them.
00:07:48Even the old ones.
00:07:50What old ones?
00:07:52Five years ago.
00:07:54An art school.
00:07:55A student.
00:07:56She accused someone.
00:07:57Then she disappeared.
00:08:00I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:02Of course you don't.
00:08:08What did you say to Jeffrey?
00:08:09He looks like he saw a ghost.
00:08:12Maybe he did.
00:08:14You're hiding something.
00:08:17I'm hiding a lot of things.
00:08:19So are you.
00:08:38You never told me what happened that night.
00:08:42The snow.
00:08:43Nothing to tell.
00:08:45You're lying.
00:08:46I'm not lying.
00:08:49I'm just not telling you everything.
00:08:51Because you need to get better first.
00:08:53Better for what?
00:08:55Better to see him go to prison.
00:08:57You found him?
00:08:58I'm inside his house right now.
00:09:01Working for his wife.
00:09:03Be careful.
00:09:04He's dangerous.
00:09:06So am I.
00:09:07I love you.
00:09:22He's a monster.
00:09:23Not the hitting kind.
00:09:25The smart kind.
00:09:27Did he ever hurt anyone else?
00:09:29Before Victoria?
00:09:34There was a girl.
00:09:36Years ago.
00:09:36A student.
00:09:37She came to the house once.
00:09:39Crying.
00:09:40Jeffrey locked the door and talked to her.
00:09:41When she left she looked broken.
00:09:43I never saw her again.
00:09:44I don't know her name.
00:09:45But she had a sister.
00:09:46The sister came later screaming at Jeffrey in the driveway.
00:09:49He called the cops on her.
00:09:51What happened to the sister?
00:09:53Nothing.
00:09:54The cops told her to leave.
00:09:55She did.
00:09:58But she looked at Jeffrey like she wanted to kill him.
00:10:03Thank you Martha.
00:10:04This is enough.
00:10:13Aster.
00:10:14I don't just get women out.
00:10:15I make sure the bastards never pull this crap again.
00:10:18But I need something else.
00:10:20What?
00:10:21Jeffrey Winthrop.
00:10:22Five years ago.
00:10:23An art school student.
00:10:25Any records.
00:10:25Police reports.
00:10:26Lawsuits.
00:10:27Anything.
00:10:28Why?
00:10:29Because I don't just help them leave.
00:10:31I help them make sure it doesn't happen again.
00:10:34That's not in your contract.
00:10:35It's in my blood.
00:10:39I'll see what I can find.
00:10:41But Ella, if you're after something personal you need to tell me.
00:10:44When the time's right.
00:11:00He pushed you.
00:11:03Who told you?
00:11:05Martha.
00:11:05The Nancy who quit.
00:11:07She also told me something else.
00:11:10About a girl.
00:11:11Years ago.
00:11:12An art student.
00:11:13I don't know anything about that.
00:11:14Jeffrey never mentioned her?
00:11:15He said there was a girl who lied about him.
00:11:18Tried to ruin his career.
00:11:19He said she was crazy.
00:11:21She wasn't crazy.
00:11:25How do you know?
00:11:32Tomorrow.
00:11:33Family meeting.
00:11:35You know what to say.
00:11:37Three things.
00:11:37Can you do that?
00:11:40Yes.
00:11:41Good.
00:11:43Ella?
00:11:47Who was she?
00:11:48The girl?
00:11:52My sister.
00:12:06I did what you asked.
00:12:07I looked into Jeffrey's past.
00:12:09Five years ago an art student accused him of sexual assault.
00:12:12The school settled.
00:12:13The student dropped out.
00:12:15No police report.
00:12:16No charges.
00:12:17And the student's name?
00:12:21Mia White.
00:12:29Your sister.
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:36You didn't come here to help Victoria.
00:12:39You came here to destroy Jeffrey.
00:12:42I came here to do both.
00:12:43They're the same thing.
00:12:46You should have told me.
00:12:49Would you have hired me if I had?
00:12:55No.
00:12:58That's why I didn't.
00:13:04The family meeting is at 9am.
00:13:06Get Victoria ready.
00:13:07We'll deal with Jeffrey's past later.
00:13:09There's no later.
00:13:10I have a witness.
00:13:11Martha.
00:13:12She saw my sister at the house.
00:13:13She heard Jeffrey threaten her.
00:13:15She'll testify.
00:13:18You've been planning this for five years.
00:13:22Five years.
00:13:23Two months and eleven days.
00:13:28Hello.
00:13:40I admit.
00:13:41Tomorrow sis.
00:13:43Tomorrow he starts to fall.
00:13:46Because my client needed me on her side.
00:13:59We're requesting supervised visitation.
00:14:02Mrs. Winthrow's recent behavior suggests-
00:14:06I did not push Daisy.
00:14:09You paid nannies to lie about me.
00:14:12And I will not give up custody.
00:14:15This is ridiculous.
00:14:16Something my curse says.
00:14:18But only an outer ex-Saffa hun for the problem-
00:14:20First point is one nannies audit.
00:14:22Before we go further.
00:14:25She looked at Jeffrey like she wanted to kill him.
00:14:28He locked the door.
00:14:29Talked to her.
00:14:30When she left, she looked broken.
00:14:34This is bullshit!
00:14:37Jeffrey.
00:14:38You set me up!
00:14:41It's evidence.
00:14:43And I have more.
00:14:47Five years ago an art student accused you of sexual assault.
00:14:51Her name was Mia White.
00:14:54She dropped out after the school settled.
00:14:57You paid them to make it go away.
00:14:59This is irrelevant to the custody case.
00:15:02It's relevant to everything.
00:15:03We're not just here about custody anymore.
00:15:06We're here about whether a predator has been sitting at my family's table for five years.
00:15:13You believe her?
00:15:15She's a stranger.
00:15:16She's using you.
00:15:18I believe her.
00:15:20Because I know what you did to me.
00:15:22And now I know you did it to others.
00:15:37You just blew up the family.
00:15:39The press will be all over this.
00:15:41Good.
00:15:42Let them.
00:15:43Jeffrey Winthrop should be in prison, not at board meetings.
00:15:46And your sister.
00:15:47Is she ready to come forward?
00:15:49She's not well, she can't testify.
00:15:51But Martha can.
00:15:53And the settlement agreement is enough to start a criminal investigation.
00:16:00You've been playing chess while the rest of us played checkers.
00:16:02I told you.
00:16:04I don't play games.
00:16:15Jeffrey's lawyers called.
00:16:17He's willing to sign the divorce papers.
00:16:20Full custody to Victoria.
00:16:22No contest.
00:16:25But he wants immunity on the old case.
00:16:28No.
00:16:29If we push the old case, he'll fight.
00:16:32It could take years.
00:16:34Victoria needs this to end now.
00:16:38I didn't come this far to let him walk.
00:16:44I'm not asking you to let him walk.
00:16:46I'm asking you to let the criminal justice system handle it.
00:16:48We give the evidence to the DA.
00:16:50They investigate.
00:16:51He goes to prison.
00:16:51But Victoria gets her divorce now.
00:16:55Fine.
00:16:56But I want to be the one who hands the evidence to the DA.
00:16:59Done.
00:17:04Nicholas told me.
00:17:07About your sister.
00:17:16I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
00:17:18You don't have to apologize.
00:17:22He hurt her.
00:17:23He hurt me.
00:17:25He hurt me.
00:17:26You're trying to stop him.
00:17:27That's more than anyone else ever did.
00:17:31For your sister's care.
00:17:33And for your new company.
00:17:35Take it.
00:17:42Thank you, Victoria.
00:17:45No.
00:17:47For believing me.
00:17:49And for believing her.
00:17:55You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:17:57I know.
00:18:23You're going to be okay.
00:18:23Try it again.
00:18:27And then, I'll get away to next.
00:18:27I didn't let him.
00:18:27And he's coming up.
00:18:35For you, Mia, when these bloom, he'll be in prison.
00:18:48The settlement agreement is enough to open an investigation,
00:18:51but without your sister's testimony, it's weak.
00:18:54I have a witness, Martha, the former nanny.
00:18:57She heard Jeffrey threaten my sister.
00:18:59And she saw my sister at the house, distraught.
00:19:03That's corroborating evidence, but not enough for a conviction.
00:19:06We need more.
00:19:08Then find more. I've given you everything I have.
00:19:12You've been waiting five years for this.
00:19:14Five years, two months, and eighteen days.
00:19:21I'll assign a team, but I can't promise anything.
00:19:26I don't need promises. I need you to try.
00:19:28Fifty thousand dollars, right now, in cash.
00:19:32You walk away. No one gets hurt.
00:19:35You're offering me a bribe.
00:19:37I'm offering you a choice.
00:19:39Take the money, leave the city, forget you ever knew my name.
00:19:45And if I don't?
00:19:47Then I'll destroy you.
00:19:50Your sister's medical records will be all over the internet.
00:19:53Every breakdown, every diagnosis.
00:19:56She'll be a laughing stock.
00:19:58No one will believe her.
00:19:59No one will believe you.
00:20:03You think this will put me away?
00:20:06I know it will.
00:20:11Mia sends her love.
00:20:16You're gonna regret this!
00:20:21No.
00:20:22I made my mistake five years ago.
00:20:24I waited.
00:20:51Astor.
00:20:52He took the bait.
00:20:53Fifty thousand.
00:20:54And he mentioned my sister.
00:20:56I heard.
00:20:56The driver had the window cracked.
00:20:58Then you know what happens next.
00:21:01I'll have the divorce papers ready by 9am.
00:21:03And the DA will get the new recording.
00:21:07He said no one would believe me.
00:21:10They believe you now, sis.
00:21:28It's done.
00:21:29Victoria has full custody.
00:21:31You'll regret this.
00:21:34I've regretted nothing for five years.
00:21:37I'm not starting today.
00:21:57I didn't think I'd feel this.
00:22:00Feel what?
00:22:01Nothing.
00:22:02No anger.
00:22:04No fear.
00:22:05No fear.
00:22:06Just...
00:22:08That's called peace.
00:22:09You'll get used to it.
00:22:17For your sister.
00:22:19And for your new company.
00:22:21I meant what I said.
00:22:24Thank you, Victoria.
00:22:27You saved my life.
00:22:29You saved your own.
00:22:32I just showed you the door.
00:22:51Sleep well, my love.
00:22:53Sleep well, my love.
00:23:03One more thing to deal with.
00:23:06Then we're free.
00:23:10Sometimes I forget what it's like to feel the sun on my skin.
00:23:35Come in.
00:23:37I come bearing gifts.
00:23:41I didn't invite you.
00:23:45No.
00:23:46But I was in the neighborhood.
00:23:49You live an hour away.
00:23:51Fine.
00:23:52I wanted to see you.
00:24:13You kept them.
00:24:15They're good paintings.
00:24:19The artist would be happy to hear that.
00:24:21Why are you really here?
00:24:23I heard about Jeffrey.
00:24:25The divorce.
00:24:26The criminal investigation.
00:24:28Nicholas told me everything.
00:24:29About your sister.
00:24:31I'm sorry.
00:24:32I didn't know.
00:24:33No one knew.
00:24:34That was the point.
00:24:36You've been carrying this alone for five years.
00:24:39I'm used to it.
00:24:48You don't have to anymore.
00:24:52Yes, I do.
00:24:53Until he's in prison, I'm not done.
00:24:58Then let me help.
00:25:01This isn't your fight.
00:25:04It is now.
00:25:07The snow.
00:25:08Ten years ago.
00:25:09You saved my life.
00:25:10I never forgot.
00:25:11That was a different life.
00:25:12Maybe.
00:25:13But you're still the same person.
00:25:15The one who stops for strangers.
00:25:17The one who fights for people who can't fight for themselves.
00:25:23I'll wait.
00:25:24I'll wait.
00:25:25However long it takes.
00:25:42You're just in prison.
00:25:43The one who is in prison.
00:25:43The one whoDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDR...
00:25:53without it a jury might not convict she can't testify she's not well then we need something

00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop, the former CEO,
00:32:07was taken into custody this morning
00:32:09following a two-year investigation.
00:32:21Are you okay?
00:32:28He's arrested.
00:32:30He's actually arrested.
00:32:39You missed it.
00:32:41The arrest.
00:32:42I saw it from across the street.
00:32:46Why didn't you go inside?
00:32:48I didn't need to see him handcuffed.
00:32:50I needed to see him afraid.
00:32:57Was he?
00:32:59Yes.
00:33:11What are you thinking?
00:33:14I'm thinking I might be able to breathe soon.
00:33:28Bail is set at $5 million.
00:33:31The defendant will surrender his passport
00:33:34and wear an electronic monitor device.
00:33:41Objection, Your Honor.
00:33:42Overruled.
00:33:43Remanded into custody pending trial.
00:33:45No bail.
00:33:56Mrs. White, are you the consultant
00:33:58who uncovered the evidence against Jeffrey Winthrop?
00:34:03I'm the consultant who did her job.
00:34:07Is it true your sister is one of his victims?
00:34:12My sister is not a victim.
00:34:14She's a survivor.
00:34:15And she's not on trial.
00:34:17He is.
00:34:29Who's that?
00:34:31Alexander.
00:34:32Why?
00:34:33He makes you smile.
00:34:35I like him.
00:34:40He's complicated.
00:34:42Everyone is complicated.
00:34:44You're complicated.
00:34:45That doesn't mean you should be alone.
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:53Always.
00:34:59D.A.
00:34:59D.A.'s office called.
00:35:09They want to depose Sarah next week.
00:35:11And they want to talk to your sister.
00:35:13Just an informal interview, not under oath.
00:35:16To see if she can handle testifying.
00:35:18She can't.
00:35:19She's not ready.
00:35:21I know.
00:35:21I told them that.
00:35:22But they're worried Sarah alone won't be enough.
00:35:24Then find more victims.
00:35:26There have to be more.
00:35:27I'm trying.
00:35:28But these cases are old.
00:35:30People have moved on.
00:35:31They don't want to relive it.
00:35:32Neither does my sister.
00:35:33But she didn't have a choice.
00:35:35Neither do they.
00:35:37There's something else.
00:35:38The private investigator found a woman in Chicago.
00:35:41Same pattern.
00:35:43Mentorship, art funding, then assault.
00:35:46Her name is Lisa.
00:35:47She's willing to talk.
00:35:51I'll call her.
00:35:58Hello?
00:35:59Lisa?
00:36:00My name is Ella White.
00:36:02My sister was Mia White.
00:36:03Five years ago.
00:36:04I know who you are.
00:36:05I saw the news.
00:36:06I've been waiting for someone to call.
00:36:08Would you be willing to speak to the D.A.?
00:36:10I'll do one better.
00:36:11I'll testify.
00:36:13I've been silent for seven years.
00:36:15I'm done.
00:36:16Thank you, Lisa.
00:36:17Don't thank me.
00:36:18Thank your sister.
00:36:19She was the first one who spoke.
00:36:22The rest of us were too scared.
00:36:32Two now, sis.
00:36:33You're not alone.
00:36:42Another one, sis.
00:36:44Her name is Lisa.
00:36:46She's going to testify.
00:37:05Thank you for seeing me.
00:37:09Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:13I read about you.
00:37:15About the Winthron case.
00:37:17About your sister.
00:37:18You're not just a consultant.
00:37:20You're a fighter.
00:37:25I'm both.
00:37:27What do you need?
00:37:39Do you have access to his financial records?
00:37:46Some.
00:37:48Not all.
00:37:49Then we start there.
00:37:51I'll bring in a forensic accountant.
00:37:53Don't delete anything.
00:37:55Don't confront him.
00:37:56Just wait.
00:38:00How long?
00:38:02As long as it takes.
00:38:18Finally.
00:38:32Finally.
00:38:40You make it look so easy.
00:38:45You're holding the pencil wrong.
00:38:47Show me again.
00:38:55You two look cozy.
00:38:57She's teaching me to draw.
00:39:04You're terrible.
00:39:07I know.
00:39:08She said I need practice.
00:39:11He's a good student.
00:39:27We found another witness, a former employee of the Winthrop Foundation.
00:39:32She handled the payments to the art school.
00:39:34She has emails showing Jeffrey personally approved the settlement.
00:39:37That's direct evidence.
00:39:38It is. Combined with Sarah and Lisa's testimonies, we have enough for a strong case.
00:39:44But we still need to address the defense's likely strategy.
00:39:47They'll attack the victim's credibility.
00:39:50Especially your sister's, given her medical history.
00:39:52Then we put a psychologist on the stand.
00:39:55Explain that trauma doesn't look the same for everyone.
00:39:57That her bake-down is evidence of what he did, not against it.
00:40:03You've thought about this a lot.
00:40:06For five years.
00:40:07I'll assign a victim advocate to work with your sister.
00:40:10Just to see if she's willing to give a deposition.
00:40:12Not in court.
00:40:13Just on video.
00:40:14That way the jury can see her without her having to face Jeffrey.
00:40:21I'll ask her.
00:40:28The DA wants to talk to you.
00:40:30On video.
00:40:32You don't have to go to court.
00:40:34Just answer questions.
00:40:36Tell your story.
00:40:40Will he see it?
00:40:41His lawyers will.
00:40:42But not him directly.
00:40:44Not in person.
00:40:48I'll do it.
00:40:49For you.
00:40:50And for the other girls.
00:40:56You don't have to do this for me.
00:40:58I know.
00:41:00I'm doing it for me.
00:41:10I heard she agreed.
00:41:13Yes.
00:41:15That's brave.
00:41:17She's always been brave.
00:41:19I just forgot.
00:41:20Ella.
00:41:21When this is over.
00:41:23When he's in prison, what then?
00:41:25I told you.
00:41:26I don't know.
00:41:27Then figure it out.
00:41:29But don't push me away while you do.
00:41:33I'm not pushing you away.
00:41:35You're not letting me in either.
00:41:39I'm trying.
00:41:40I'm trying.
00:41:41I'm trying.
00:41:45I'm trying.
00:41:46Try harder.
00:42:02Mia, can you tell us what happened five years ago?
00:42:08He came to the art school.
00:42:10He said he wanted to support young artists.
00:42:14He said I was talented.
00:42:16Special.
00:42:18He invited me to his house.
00:42:20For mentoring.
00:42:22I went.
00:42:23I was 18.
00:42:23I thought he was helping me.
00:42:26He locked the door.
00:42:27He said no one would believe me.
00:42:29He said I was nobody.
00:42:30He was wrong.
00:42:32Why are you coming forward now?
00:42:36Because my sister never stopped believing me.
00:42:41And because I'm not nobody.
00:42:57You did it.
00:43:00I did it.
00:43:02Now go.
00:43:03Finish the rest.
00:43:10I will.
00:43:17The evidence is insufficient.
00:43:20The alleged victims have questionable motives.
00:43:23Denied.
00:43:23The case will proceed to trial.
00:43:26Trial date set for six weeks from today.
00:43:38See you in hell.
00:43:45Six weeks until trial.
00:43:47Six weeks to find more evidence.
00:43:51You've done enough.
00:43:53There's never enough.
00:43:55Not until he's convicted.
00:43:58And after conviction?
00:43:59What then?
00:44:01Then I breathe.
00:44:04I'm not going anywhere.
00:44:06I'm not going anywhere.
00:44:24You look tired.
00:44:26I'm fine.
00:44:36His face.
00:44:39I don't want to see it again.
00:44:41You won't.
00:44:42You don't have to go to court.
00:44:44I know.
00:44:46But I still see it.
00:44:48In my head.
00:44:52After the trial, we'll find you a therapist.
00:44:55Someone who specializes in trauma.
00:44:57You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
00:45:08Then let's finish this.
00:45:15This can wait.
00:45:17The will case isn't urgent.
00:45:19Jeffrey's trial is.
00:45:26The jade pendant.
00:45:28This is the one you gave me?
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:32Charles put it in the will as a way to find you.
00:45:34He knew I'd been looking.
00:45:35I don't want anything from your family.
00:45:37I know.
00:45:39But the will is being contested.
00:45:41If we don't defend it, the cousin will get everything, including the pendant.
00:45:45Then defend it.
00:45:46I'll help.
00:45:47But not for me.
00:45:48For Charles.
00:45:48Charles, he sounds like he was a good man.
00:45:55He was.
00:46:10Alexander.
00:46:11Why are you helping me?
00:46:13With Jeffrey, I mean.
00:46:14This isn't your fight.
00:46:16You asked me that before.
00:46:17I told you, it is now.
00:46:19That's not an answer.
00:46:22Because I watched you sit on the floor with my sister when everyone else was afraid of
00:46:25her.
00:46:28Because you took on a billionaire with nothing but a laptop and a voice recorder.
00:46:33Because you've been fighting for five years for someone who can't fight for herself.
00:46:37That's not just doing your job.
00:46:39That's not just doing your job.
00:46:39That's who you are.
00:46:41And I want to be part of that.
00:46:44I'm not good at this.
00:46:46I know.
00:46:47Me neither.
00:46:48But I'm trying.
00:46:51I'm trying.
00:47:11He wrote about you in his letters.
00:47:19He said the world needs more people like you.
00:47:27People who stop for strangers.
00:47:39Look at this.
00:47:44Robert and Jeffrey knew each other?
00:47:46If Robert was connected to Jeffrey, then the will case isn't separate.
00:47:51It's connected to everything.
00:47:52You think Jeffrey helped Robert forge the will?
00:47:55I think we need to find out.
00:48:04You're not just a consultant.
00:48:06You're a detective.
00:48:07I'm just someone who doesn't stop until she finds the truth.
00:48:11That's what scares me about you.
00:48:14Why?
00:48:14Because you might burn yourself out before you let anyone help.
00:48:22I'm trying, like I said.
00:48:24I know.
00:48:31We have three victims willing to testify.
00:48:34We have financial records, Martha's testimony, and we have Mia's video deposition.
00:48:39The defense will try to discredit the victims, especially given Mia's mental health history.
00:48:43But our expert psychologist will explain that trauma-induced breakdowns are not evidence of lying.
00:48:48What about the connection to Robert Astor and the will forgery?
00:48:53That's a separate case.
00:48:55But if you have evidence, we can use it to show a pattern of corruption.
00:49:02I'm working on it.
00:49:10Not so deep.
00:49:11The roots need room.
00:49:14Like this?
00:49:16Better.
00:49:21You're smiling.
00:49:23No, I'm not.
00:49:25Yes, you are.
00:49:32I talked to Nicholas.
00:49:34He's assigning a forensic accountant to look into Robert's connections with Jeffrey.
00:49:38If there's a paper trail, we'll find it.
00:49:41For believing me.
00:49:43I always did.
00:49:45Even when I didn't know the whole story.
00:49:47I'm scared of what comes after.
00:49:49After what?
00:49:50After the trial.
00:49:52When I don't have a mission anymore.
00:49:54I've been fighting for so long.
00:49:56I don't know who I am without it.
00:49:59You're Ella.
00:50:00The woman who saved my life in a snowstorm.
00:50:02Who sits on the floor with strangers.
00:50:04Who plants sunflowers for her sister.
00:50:06That's who you are.
00:50:07The fight doesn't define you.
00:50:08You define the fight.
00:50:10You don't have to figure it out alone.
00:50:20This case is about power.
00:50:23About a man who used money, influence, and fear to silence his victims.
00:50:30Over seven years, three women, and likely more, were assaulted by the defendant.
00:50:36We will prove that Jeffrey Wintherd is not a philanthropist.
00:50:40He is a predator.
00:50:42The prosecution's case rests on the word of women with questionable motives.
00:50:47One has a diagnosed mental illness.
00:50:49Another waited seven years.
00:50:52These are not reliable witnesses.
00:50:54Not now.
00:50:56Trust the process.
00:50:58Why now?
00:50:59Why come forward after seven years?
00:51:03Because I saw another woman come forward.
00:51:06Mia White.
00:51:08She was brave enough to speak.
00:51:10I decided to be brave, too.
00:51:14So you're motivated by media attention?
00:51:18I'm motivated by justice.
00:51:24So you're motivated by media attention?
00:51:28He said he would make me disappear from the art world if I told anyone.
00:51:35I believed him.
00:51:37You settled with the school.
00:51:38You took money.
00:51:39Doesn't that make you a liar?
00:51:42It makes me someone who was scared and broke.
00:51:57I heard on the news, Sarah and Lisa, they were brave.
00:52:04Yes, they were.
00:52:07Do you think I'm brave?
00:52:10You're the bravest person I know.
00:52:11Then why do I still feel so small?
00:52:14Because he made you feel that way.
00:52:18But you're not small.
00:52:20You never were.
00:52:21I'm here, Mia.
00:52:23Everything's okay now.
00:52:27No.
00:52:43He said no one would believe me.
00:52:46He said I was nobody.
00:52:48He was wrong.
00:53:05Objection, Your Honor.
00:53:06This is prejudicious.
00:53:08Overruled.
00:53:09Sit down.
00:53:10Mia.
00:53:15Mia.
00:53:16I love this one.
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop, did you ever assault any of these women?
00:53:25Never.
00:53:28They're liars.
00:53:29Every one of them.
00:53:31Mr. Winthrop, did you pay the art school to silence Mia White?
00:53:34I donated to the school.
00:53:36That's not a crime.
00:53:37Did you personally approve the settlement agreement?
00:53:41I don't recall.
00:53:44Settlement agreement signed by Jeffrey Winthrouse.
00:53:47This is your signature, isn't it?
00:53:50I...
00:53:50It was handled by my lawyers.
00:53:52So you don't deny it's your signature?
00:53:54Yes, that's my signature.
00:53:55But it doesn't mean what she says it means.
00:53:58Then what does it mean?
00:53:59What does it mean?
00:54:12He's lying.
00:54:13Everyone can see it.
00:54:17It doesn't matter.
00:54:19The jury needs to believe us.
00:54:21They will.
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:25Because I believe you.
00:54:26And I'm not the only one.
00:54:30Alexander.
00:54:31Yeah?
00:54:33After this is over, I'd like to try.
00:54:36Not maybe.
00:54:37Try.
00:54:39I've been ready since the first day you walked into my garden.
00:55:07I've been ready since the first day you walked into my garden.
00:55:08You should eat something.
00:55:11Not hungry.
00:55:12Ella.
00:55:13Whatever happens, you've already won.
00:55:15You made him stand trial.
00:55:17You made the world see who he is.
00:55:19Winning is a conviction.
00:55:20Anything less is just an expensive therapy session.
00:55:22No matter what, you're not alone anymore.
00:55:24The jury has reached a verdict.
00:55:38Have you reached a verdict?
00:55:41Yes, Your Honor.
00:55:49On count one, sexual assault in the first degree, guilty.
00:55:57On count two, witness trampering, guilty.
00:56:01On count three, wire fraud, guilty.
00:56:03On count four, money laundering, guilty.
00:56:06On count five, conspiracy to commit bribery, guilty.
00:56:10On count six, false imprisonment.
00:56:13On count seven, criminal coercion, guilty.
00:56:18The defendant is remanded into custody.
00:56:21Sentencing will be scheduled in six weeks.
00:56:24Court is adjourned.
00:56:31Mia sends her love.
00:56:48Miss White, how do you feel about the verdict?
00:56:50Justice, that's how I feel.
00:56:52Will your sister be speaking publicly?
00:56:54My sister has spoken.
00:56:55On video, that's enough.
00:56:57Now she needs to heal.
00:56:59What's next for you?
00:57:03I have a company to run.
00:57:04And sunflowers to grow.
00:57:26Guilty?
00:57:28Guilty.
00:57:30All counts.
00:57:34He's going to prison.
00:57:36Yes.
00:57:39For a long time?
00:57:40For a very long time.
00:57:47They're finally home.
00:57:50I missed you.
00:58:06I come bearing appropriate flowers.
00:58:10You didn't have to.
00:58:11Yes, I did.
00:58:12You gave me my life back.
00:58:14The least I can do is bring you flowers.
00:58:20These are beautiful.
00:58:22Mia's work.
00:58:23She's really talented.
00:58:25I'm starting a foundation.
00:58:27For survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault.
00:58:30I want you on the board.
00:58:31Victoria, I'm not a...
00:58:32You're not just a consultant.
00:58:35You're the reason I'm alive.
00:58:36Don't argue with me.
00:58:42Fine.
00:58:43But I'm not going to any black tie galas.
00:58:46Deal.
00:58:48The will case.
00:58:50Robert Astor has agreed to settle.
00:58:51He's dropping the contest.
00:58:53Charles' will stands.
00:58:54What about the pendant?
00:58:55It stays in the trust.
00:58:57But Charles' lawyers want to give you something.
00:58:59A scholarship fund in your name.
00:59:01For young artists.
00:59:04I don't want my name on anything.
00:59:05It's not for you.
00:59:06It's for Mia.
00:59:07And for other girls like her who want to study art without being preyed upon.
00:59:10I don't want my name on anyone.
00:59:13Okay.
00:59:14But no press.
00:59:15No photos.
00:59:16Agreed.
00:59:17You did it, Ella.
00:59:19We did it.
00:59:21My sister wants to take art classes.
00:59:23At a small studio.
00:59:24Not a university.
00:59:25Just somewhere safe.
00:59:26I know a place.
00:59:27Small, private.
00:59:28The owner is a friend.
00:59:29She only takes a few students at a time.
00:59:30You've been planning this.
00:59:31I've been hoping.
00:59:39Was that...
00:59:40Don't make it weird.
00:59:42Too late.
00:59:51Mia, you've made remarkable progress.
00:59:54I'm signing off on your discharge from active care.
00:59:57You'll still have weekly therapy sessions.
00:59:59But you're no longer a patient.
01:00:01You're a survivor.
01:00:08I used to be angry at them.
01:00:10For dying.
01:00:11For leaving us alone.
01:00:12Me too.
01:00:14But if they hadn't died, I wouldn't have met him.
01:00:17And if I hadn't met him, you wouldn't have become who you are.
01:00:20That's a lot of ifs.
01:00:21I know.
01:00:23But I'm not angry anymore.
01:00:24I'm just sad and grateful.
01:00:27Both at the same time.
01:00:29That's called being human.
01:00:35She's amazing, you know?
01:00:37Your sister.
01:00:38I know.
01:00:39So are you.
01:00:41Alexander.
01:00:42I'm not good at saying things.
01:00:44But I want you to know, I'm glad you didn't stop.
01:00:48Stop what?
01:00:49Stop asking.
01:00:52I never will.
01:01:15What's she painting?
01:01:17I don't know.
01:01:19But whatever it is, it's hers.
01:01:22But whatever it is, it's hers.
01:01:23She's in her element.
01:01:33This, this is my favorite part of the day.
01:01:38Come in.
01:01:41Miss White?
