00:00:15No 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.
00:01:05Mr. 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.
00:01:37Standard 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.
00:02:05They say it's just hormones. Post-portum.
00:02:11It's not.
00:02:16How do you know?
00:02:19Because I've seen this before. The fear. The second guessing.
00:02:26The 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.
00:02:37Did Jeffrey ever hurt someone else?
00:02:40Someone who wasn't you?
00:02:42What do you mean?
00:02:44Before you.
00:02:45Was there ever a scandal?
00:02:46A lawsuit?
00:02:48A woman who disappeared?
00:02:49There was a girl. Years ago. A student.
00:02:53He sponsored her.
00:02:55She accused him of something.
00:02:56Then she dropped out.
00:02:58He said she was lying.
00:02:59What was her name?
00:03:01I don't remember.
00:03:02It was before we got married. He said she was unstable.
00:03:12Unstable.
00:03:13Right.
00:03:23He said no one would believe me.
00:03:33Not unstable.
00:03:35Broken.
00:03:36By you.
00:03:55Mia!
00:03:56Mia, look at me.
00:03:57It's okay. I'm here.
00:03:59He said he'd pay for my art school.
00:04:01He said I was special.
00:04:03Then he...
00:04:04Don't.
00:04:05I believe you.
00:04:10You paid off the school.
00:04:12You didn't even hide it.
00:04:23Almost there, sis.
00:04:32My thoughts were gone.
00:04:34I guess.
00:04:39Miss White.
00:04:40A word.
00:04:43I understand.
00:04:45Right.
00:04:47You'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?
00:05:02Everything?
00:05:03What 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.
00:05:20Then 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?
00:05:50I just want to hear her breathe.
00:05:54I'm inside, sis.
00:05:56I'm inside his house.
00:05:58I'm gonna make him pay for what he did to you.
00:06:01I promise.
00:06:11What did you find?
00:06:13Background 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.
00:06:25They protected the son.
00:06:26Buried her.
00:06:27What's this, a sealed juvenile record?
00:06:29It's sealed.
00:06:30I couldn't access it.
00:06:31But her sister, the one in the care facility,
00:06:33she 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.
00:06:40The Winthrop Foundation.
00:06:41Jeffrey.
00:06:42The timing is...
00:06:43suggestive.
00:06:44Don't dig further.
00:06:45Not yet.
00:06:46But keep this between us.
00:06:48Understood.
00:06:54Ella 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.
00:07:07Welcome 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. Winthrop.
00:07:43I solve problems.
00:07:45Whose problems?
00:07:47All of them.
00:07:49Even the old ones.
00:07:51What old ones?
00:07:52Five years ago.
00:07:54An art school.
00:07:55A student.
00:07:56She accused someone.
00:07:58Then she disappeared.
00:08:00I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:07What 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.
00:08:18So are you.
00:08:39You never told me what happened that night.
00:08:42The snow.
00:08:43Nothing to tell.
00:08:45You're lying.
00:08:47I'm not lying.
00:08:49I'm just not telling you everything.
00:08:51Because you need to get better first.
00:08:54Better 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.
00:09:05He's dangerous.
00:09:06So am I.
00:09:07I love you.
00:09:21He'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?
00:09:35There was a girl.
00:09:36Years ago.
00:09:37A student.
00:09:37She came to the house once.
00:09:39Crying.
00:09:40Jeffrey locked the door and talked to her.
00:09:42When 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.
00:09:47The 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.
00:10:16I make sure the bastards never pull this crap again.
00:10:19But I need something else.
00:10:20What?
00:10:21Jeffrey Winthrop.
00:10:23Five years ago.
00:10:24An art school student.
00:10:25Any records?
00:10:26Police reports?
00:10:27Lawsuits?
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.
00:11:06The 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?
00:11:41Yes.
00:11:42Good.
00:11:44Ella?
00:11:47Who was she?
00:11:49The 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.
00:12:22I think...
00:12:28Mia 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. They'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 9 a.m. Get Victoria ready. We'll deal with Jeffrey's past later.
00:13:09There's no later. I have a witness.
00:13:11Martha. She saw my sister at the house. She heard Jeffrey threaten her. She'll testify.
00:13:18You've been planning this for five years.
00:13:22Five years? Two months and eleven days.
00:13:28Lo.
00:13:40I admit tomorrow, sis. Tomorrow he starts to fall.
00:13:46Because my client needed me on her side.
00:13:59We're requesting supervised visitation.
00:14:03Mrs. Winthrow's recent behavior suggests...
00:14:07I 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.
00:14:17Something my curse says.
00:14:18But only an outer ex-apha hun for the problem...
00:14:20First point is when Annie's audited.
00:14:22Before we go further...
00:14:25She looked at Jeffrey like she wanted to kill him.
00:14:28He locked the door.
00:14:30Talked to her.
00:14:31When she left, she looked broken.
00:14:33This 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.
00:15:00This is irrelevant to the custody case!
00:15:02It's relevant to everything.
00:15:04We'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.
00:15:50She 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 lawyer.
00:16:16Jeffrey's lawyer is 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.
00:16:52But 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 about 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.
00:17:24He hurt me.
00:17:25You'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.
00:17:58I know.
00:18:23You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:24You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:24You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:24You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:24You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:24You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:25You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:27You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:28You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:18:35for you Mia
00:18:37when 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
00:18:53it's weak
00:18:54I have a witness
00:18:55Martha the former nanny
00:18:57she heard Jeffrey threaten my sister
00:18:59and she saw my sister at the house distraught
00:19:02that's corroborating evidence

00:25:50Mia's testimony
00:25:53without it
00:25:54a jury might not convict
00:25:56she can't testify
00:25:58she's not well
00:25:58then we need something else
00:26:00another victim
00:26:04I've been looking for five years
00:26:08I haven't found anyone
00:26:12what about Victoria
00:26:13he emotionally abused her
00:26:15that's a pattern
00:26:18whatever you think
00:26:19how it's going
00:26:19pattern evidence
00:26:20is admissible
00:26:21in some states
00:26:22but it's not enough
00:26:24for a sexual assault charge
00:26:26then find another way
00:26:27wire fraud
00:26:29money laundering
00:26:30witness treampering

00:27:02like revenge
00:27:04like justice
00:27:05there's a difference
00:27:09is there
00:27:10revenge is personal
00:27:11justice is for everyone
00:27:13I want him in prison
00:27:14so he can't do this
00:27:15to anyone else
00:27:16that's not revenge
00:27:17that's prevention

00:30:30his lawyers will attack
00:30:32your sister's credibility

00:31:07she was
00:31:09but she shouldn't have had to be
00:31:10none of them should have
00:31:13what happens after

00:31:18then I figure out who I am without revenge
00:31:20you're the same person
00:31:22you just won't have to carry the weight anymore
00:31:30you too
00:31:53you
00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop, the former CEO, was taken into custody this morning following a two-year
00:32:11investigation. Are you okay? He's arrested. He's actually arrested.
00:32:39You missed it. The arrest. I saw it from across the street. Why didn't you go inside? I didn't need
00:32:49to see him
00:32:49handcuffed. I needed to see him afraid. Was he? Yes.
00:33:12What are you thinking? I'm thinking I might be able to breathe soon.
00:33:28Bail is set at $5 million. The defendant will surrender his passport and wear an electronic
00:33:36monitor device. Objection, Your Honor. Overruled. Remanded into custody pending trial. No bail.
00:33:56Mrs. White, are you the consultant who uncovered the evidence against Jeffrey Winthrop?
00:34:03I'm the consultant who did her job. Is it true your sister is one of his victims?
00:34:12My sister is not a victim. She's a survivor. And she's not on trial. He is.
00:34:29Who's that? Alexander.
00:34:32Why? He makes you smile. I like him.
00:34:40He's complicated. Everyone is complicated. You're complicated. That doesn't mean you should be alone.
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:53Always.
00:35:07The DA's office called. They want to depose Sarah next week. And they want to talk to your sister. Just
00:35:13an informal interview, not under oath. To see if she can handle testifying.
00:35:18She can't. She's not ready.
00:35:21I know. I told them that. But they're worried Sarah alone won't be enough.
00:35:24Then find more victims. There have to be more.
00:35:27I'm trying. But these cases are old. People have moved on. They don't want to relive it.
00:35:32Neither does my sister. But she didn't have a choice. Neither do they.
00:35:37There's something else. The private investigator found a woman in Chicago. Same pattern. Mentorship, art funding, then assault.
00:35:46Her name is Lisa. She's willing to talk.
00:35:51I'll call her.
00:35:58Hello?
00:36:00Lisa? My name is Ella White. My sister was Mia White. Five years ago.
00:36:04I know who you are. I saw the news. I've been waiting for someone to call.
00:36:08Would you be willing to speak to the DA?
00:36:10I'll do one better. I'll testify. I've been silent for seven years. I'm done.
00:36:16Thank you, Lisa.
00:36:17Don't thank me. Thank your sister. She was the first one who spoke. The rest of us were too scared.
00:36:32Two now, sis. You're not alone.
00:36:42Another one, sis. Her name is Lisa.
00:36:45She's going to testify.
00:37:04She's going to testify.
00:37:05Thank you for seeing me.
00:37:09Thank you. Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:13I read about you. About the Winthron case. About your sister.
00:37:19You're not just a consultant. You're a fighter.
00:37:25I'm both. What do you need?
00:37:39Do you have access to his financial records?
00:37:47Some. Not 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. Just wait.
00:38:00How long?
00:38:02As long as it takes.
00:38:18Finally.
00:38:20Finally.
00:38:41You make it look so easy.
00:38:45You're holding the pencil wrong.
00:38:48Show 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.
00:39:29A 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.
00:39:39It is.
00:39:40Combined 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, especially 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.
00:40:08I'll assign a victim advocate to work with your sister, just to see if she's willing to give a deposition.
00:40:12Not in court, just 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, but not him directly, not in person.
00:40:48I'll do it.
00:40:49For you.
00:40:51And 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.
00:41:11I 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.
00:41:40I'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.
00:42:31He 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
00:43:19The 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, what then?
00:44:02Then I breathe
00:44:03I'm not going anywhere
00:44:24You look tired
00:44:27I'm fine
00:44:36His face
00:44:39I don't want to see it again
00:44:40You 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
00:44:53We'll find you a therapist
00:44:54Someone who specializes in trauma
00:44:57You don't have to carry this alone anymore
00:45:08Then let's finish this
00:45:16This 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
00:45:42The cousin will get everything
00:45:43Including the pendant
00:45:45Then defend it
00:45:46I'll help
00:45:46But not for me
00:45:48For Charles
00:45:48He 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
00:46:18It is now
00:46:19That's not an answer
00:46:22Because I watched you sit on the floor
00:46:24With my sister
00:46:24When everyone else was afraid of her
00:46:28Because you took on a billionaire
00:46:30With nothing but a laptop
00:46:31And a voice recorder
00:46:33Because you've been fighting
00:46:34For five years
00:46:35For someone who can't fight
00:46:36For herself
00:46:37That'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
00:46:49But I'm trying
00:47:11He wrote about you
00:47:12In his letters
00:47:19He never met me
00:47:20No
00:47:22But he believed in finding you
00:47:24He said the world needs more people like you
00:47:27People who stop for strangers
00:47:39Look at this
00:47:45Robert and Jeffrey knew each other
00:47:46If Robert was connected to Jeffrey
00:47:48Then 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
00:48:09Until she finds the truth
00:48:11That's what scares me about you
00:48:14Why?
00:48:15Because you might burn yourself out
00:48:16Before you let anyone help
00:48:22I'm trying
00:48:23Like I said
00:48:24I know
00:48:31We have three victims willing to testify
00:48:34We have financial record
00:48:35Martha's testimony
00:48:37And we have Mia's video deposition
00:48:39The defense will try to discredit the victims
00:48:41Especially given Mia's mental health history
00:48:43But our expert psychologist will explain
00:48:46That trauma-induced breakdowns
00:48:47Are not evidence of lying
00:48:48What about the connection to Robert Astor
00:48:51And the will forgery?
00:48:54That's a separate case
00:48:55But if you have evidence
00:48:57We 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
00:49:24No I'm not
00:49:25Yes you are
00:49:33I talked to Nicholas
00:49:34He's assigning a forensic accountant
00:49:36To look into Robert's connections with Jeffrey
00:49:38If there's a paper trail we'll find it
00:49:40Thank you
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
00:49:51When 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
00:49:59The 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
00:50:21This case is about power
00:50:22About a man who used money
00:50:24Influence
00:50:26And fear
00:50:27To silence his victims
00:50:29Over seven years
00:50:31Three women
00:50:32And likely more
00:50:33Were assaulted by the defendant
00:50:36We will prove that Jeffrey Winther
00:50:38Is not a philanthropist
00:50:40He is a predator
00:50:41The prosecution's case
00:50:43Rests on the word
00:50:45Of women with questionable motives
00:50:46One has a diagnosed mental illness
00:50:49Another waited seven years
00:50:51These are not reliable witnesses
00:50:54Not now
00:50:55Trust 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
00:51:07She was brave enough to speak
00:51:09I decided to be brave too
00:51:15So 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
00:51:30From the art world
00:51:31If I told anyone
00:51:35I believed him
00:51:36You settled with the school
00:51:38You took money
00:51:39Doesn't that make you a liar?
00:51:42It makes me someone
00:51:43Who was scared and broke
00:51:47But I'm not scared anymore
00:51:57I heard on the news
00:51:59Sarah and Lisa
00:52:00They were brave
00:52:04Yes
00:52:04They 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
00:52:44He 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
00:53:07Overruled
00:53:08Sit down
00:53:09Mia
00:53:15I love you too
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop
00:53:22Did you ever assault
00:53:24Any of these women?
00:53:25Never
00:53:28They're liars
00:53:29Every one of them
00:53:30Mr. Winthrop
00:53:31Did you pay the art school
00:53:33To silence Mia White?
00:53:35I donated to the school
00:53:36That's not a crime
00:53:37Did you personally approve
00:53:38The settlement agreement?
00:53:41I don't recall
00:53:44Settlement agreement
00:53:45Signed 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
00:53:53It's your signature?
00:53:54Yes, that's my signature
00:53:55But it doesn't mean
00:53:56What she says it means
00:53:57Then what does it mean?
00:54:13He's lying
00:54:13Everyone can see it
00:54:17It doesn't matter
00:54:18The jury needs to believe us
00:54:20They will
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:25Because
00:54:25I believe you
00:54:26And I'm not the only one
00:54:30Alexander
00:54:30Yeah?
00:54:33After this is over
00:54:34I'd like to try
00:54:35Not maybe
00:54:36Try
00:54:40I've been ready
00:54:41Since the first day
00:54:42You walked into my garden
00:55:07You should eat something
00:55:11Not hungry
00:55:12Ella
00:55:13Whatever happens
00:55:14You've already won
00:55:15You made him stand trial
00:55:17You made the world
00:55:18See who he is
00:55:18Winning is a conviction
00:55:19Anything less is just
00:55:20An expensive therapy session
00:55:22No matter what
00:55:23You're not alone anymore
00:55:24The jury has reached a verdict

00:56:48Miss White
00:56:49How do you feel about the verdict?
00:56:50Justice
00:56:50That's how I feel
00:56:52Will your sister be speaking publicly?
00:56:54My sister has spoken
00:56:55On video
00:56:56That's enough
00:56:57Now she needs to heal
00:56:58What's next for you?
00:57:03I have a company to run
00:57:05And sunflowers to grow

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
00:58:16Is 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
00:58:29And sexual assault
00:58:30I want you on the board
00:58:31Victoria
00:58:32I'm not a
00:58:32You're not just a consultant
00:58:35You're the reason I'm alive
00:58:37Don'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
00:58:49Robert 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
00:58:56But 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
00:59:08Who want to study art
00:59:09Without being preyed upon
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
00:59:52You'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
01:00:00You're a survivor
01:00:04Thank you
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
01:00:16I wouldn't have met him
01:00:18And if I hadn't met him
01:00:19You 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
01:00:25I'm just
01:00:26Sad
01:00:26And grateful
01:00:27Both at the same time
01:00:30That's called being human
01:00:35She's amazing, you know
01:00:36Your 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
01:00:46I'm glad you didn't stop
01:00:47Stop 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
01:01:21It's hers
01:01:23She's in her element
01:01:33This
01:01:33This is my favorite part of the day
01:01:38Come in
01:01:41Miss White?

01:01:49And I think he's dangerous
