00:09:07your phd dissertation on modern art i ran it through an algorithm it was bought from a ghostwriter in
00:09:13mumbai
00:09:17i just emailed the receipts to your university board
00:09:24have fun flipping burgers
00:09:27you little bitch i'll ruin you try it brad my entertainment group just acquired your primary
00:09:36distribution company

00:09:49enough elena is mentally unstable
00:09:53i'm taking conservatorship i'll appoint a live-in nurse tonight that won't be necessary mr sterling
00:10:00who the hell are you i'm grace mrs vance new private nurse fully licensed and her salary is paid by
00:10:08me
00:10:10you don't make decisions for my mother anymore
00:10:29mom another window
00:10:33the swiss bank
00:10:37the swiss bank confirmed the account exists account ending 773 so mom's memory was right
00:10:47the account is under a shell company sterling linked i saw more in the flash sterling money flows through
00:10:52there every quarter every quarter that's a pattern if we can trace the flow there's something else a
00:10:56safe i saw a room books a fireplace richard study i don't know i can't see the rest then we
00:11:04make you
00:11:04remember the doctor said every window damages my brain then we find the evidence another way
00:11:13account 773 ending in 773 identification
00:11:19sealed by court order i can't even confirm its existence
00:11:23perfect who's the winner i'll have to ask you to leave
00:11:30or
00:11:35the bank is refusing to release records they're citing client confidentiality
00:11:39then buy them i don't care what it costs there's another problem the sbi is asking questions about
00:11:44the account handle it remembering too much listen just like your mother
00:11:51the bank is asking questions about how you can see your mother
00:11:52running away like a coward i should have drowned you at birth
00:11:58no one will ever call me worthless again no one
00:12:01i kept my promise
00:12:14no one ever called me worthless again the damage is progressing each memory window accelerates the
00:12:20process how many does she have left two maybe three after that after that permanent memory loss
00:12:26possibly brain death how do i trigger the next one mom no richard tried to kill me once he won't
00:12:32get a second chance extreme emotion is the trigger or physical shock but i strongly advise you
00:12:37i'm not losing you not after everything you were five years old when i found you hiding behind a
00:12:43radiator you didn't speak for three months i didn't give up on you don't ask me to give up on
00:12:47this i cross-referenced the account number with sterling's known associates there's a pattern
00:12:50what kind of pattern payments to offshore accounts every quarter for 30 years this is enough for a
00:12:55warrant not yet the account is shielded we need the physical records so we're stuck
00:13:01no we need mom to remember where the safe is then we pray she survives it
00:13:11how long have you worked for richard
00:13:15i don't know what you mean i saw you in the hospital and last night two texts you're more
00:13:25observant than they give you credit for i don't care who you work for just don't hurt my kids
00:13:31i won't i promise
00:13:37good
00:14:08how close are we to retrieving the drive safe requires a fingerprint and a code we're working on
00:14:12both work faster you confronted grace i needed to know and
00:14:23she said she won't hurt you she said she won't hurt you that's not an answer
00:14:29it's the only one i got this is fbi issue thomas must have given it to you
00:14:38i don't remember then remember
00:14:43it's not that simple
00:15:01what
00:15:11we're not hers
00:15:20she chose us
00:15:27we need to talk
00:15:31what is this open it
00:15:34i know
00:15:36what i was five when she adopted me i remember the orphanage
00:15:41i was seven the courthouse i remember you both knew and you never told me she didn't tell us
00:15:49because she didn't want us to hurt not because it matters blood is coincidence family is who chooses
00:15:58so she's not our mother she is our mother more than any blood ever could be
00:16:05that we never tell her we know she wanted to protect us we protect her
00:16:12i hope they never find out
00:16:18you found the papers mom don't let me speak i was going to tell you when you were older then
00:16:25the
00:16:25accident happened when i woke up i didn't remember anything including that it doesn't change anything it
00:16:31changes everything you're not my blood we don't care i walked into that orphanage in ukraine
00:16:39saw a little boy with big eyes hiding behind a radiator
00:16:43he didn't speak for three months but i knew he needed someone you were left at a hospital

00:19:49so chris is testifying he'll give us everything calls emails payment records that's enough to
00:19:55bury richards and the u-pad that would be the final piece but we don't know where it is i
00:19:59saw it in
00:20:00the window a silver u-pad in a safe where a room books fireplace i don't know who's i'll cross

00:21:28maria clark just sent me harrison's file he's been richard's fixer since 1985. no convictions
00:21:33no scandals clean as a whistle on paper i dug deeper he has three offshore accounts two in the
00:21:38kymans one in the sevis news all linked to the same shell company as richard's 773 account so he's
00:21:43dirty but we can't prove it he'll make a mistake they always do mom he threatened you
00:21:50i'm hiring protection no i have grace and i have you three that's enough
00:21:59she refused the settlement tore up the papers in front of me then we move to plan b

00:22:13let her think she's winning one more day then we burn her checkmate
00:22:25you should sleep i can't every time i close my eyes i see his face harrison and before him richard
00:22:32and before him thomas's body in the rain we'll get them all of them how can you be so sure
00:22:38because
00:22:39i've waited 20 years and i'm still here nina wasn't just playing audio she was recording elena's brain
00:22:49activity during the windows sending the data to richard in real time so he knew exactly what mom
00:22:54remembered every flash every number that's how he stayed one step ahead but there's someone else nina
00:23:00said it before she was taken our eyes are in the house i've heard that phrase before it's richards
00:23:07means a deep cover asset someone close to the target close to mom that's only one person grace
00:23:13we don't move on grace yet she's been sending us intel for two years she's double agent double agent
00:23:19she could be playing both sides every piece of evidence we have on richard grace provided half of it
00:23:25she wants him in prison more than we do then why is she still inside because she wants to see
00:23:29him fall
00:23:30herself personal grace's real name is grace petrov her father was victor petrov thomas vance's best
00:23:36friend he was murdered two weeks after thomas same method breaks cut she's been waiting 20 years
00:23:41and she won't stop until richard is dead or in a cell
00:23:48your father what was his name
00:23:55victor
00:23:59he knew thomas they grew up together thomas was godfather to my little brother richard killed him too
00:24:10two weeks after thomas same road same mechanic
00:24:18you've been carrying this alone not alone
00:24:22i had your husband's memory and now i have you
00:24:25i sent richard's men false intel for years gave the fbi real intel every step i was there
00:24:30why didn't you tell me soon because i didn't know if you were still on his side
00:24:33after the every sudden including your hate for him i remember now not everything but enough
00:24:42enough for what enough to finish this grace is compromised we need to pull her no let her stay
00:24:50she's still useful she gave the fbi the safe location then we move the u-backs tonight and grace
00:24:57she'll find out what happens to people who betray me
00:25:16the fbi wants to move on the safe by friday they need the code i'm working on it the window
00:25:21showed
00:25:22numbers six digits but i can't
00:25:27i came to see my daughter is she home
00:25:34she's resting i'll tell her you stop by
00:25:44to apologize for the birthday party i was harsh
00:25:52you're new what's your name grace grace pretty name
00:25:59anya petrov worked here years ago reminds me of some girl
00:26:05i wouldn't know sir i'm from ohio
00:26:08of course ohio well i won't stay elena think about my apologies take care of her i wouldn't want anything
00:26:14to happen
00:26:17i'm fine i just have to pay
00:26:2020 years and he still almost got me
00:26:23he came here while we were gone
00:26:27he didn't come for me he came to test grace
00:26:31and she passed but he knows he has to know he suspects that's different we need to move faster
00:26:39the u-pan the safe everything i've been running algorithms on possible codes
00:26:45based on dates that would mean something to mom
00:26:49like what her wedding date october 10 1988
00:26:54october 10 1988 that's six digits 101 088
00:26:58thomas said to me once set the code to something you'll never forget the day you stop being afraid
00:27:04when was that the day i married him 10 10 88 i'll send it to maria
00:27:08you remember the code i remember his voice the day you stopped being afraid
00:27:16were you terrified marrying thomas meant leaving richard's control he threatened to disown me to hurt
00:27:22thomas but i did it anyway that's courage not lack of fear acting despite it thomas said the same thing
00:27:31tomorrow we get the u-pen
00:27:36your mother saved my career 30 years ago she was our best asset code name phoenix
00:27:44that's the word she saw in the window she infiltrated sterling's operation from the inside
00:27:49gathered evidence on money laundering fraud two murders thomas vance and grace's father both on
00:27:54richard's orders we had enough to indict but the night before she was supposed to testify the accident
00:28:01we found break lines cut but the mechanic was paid off the case went cold and elena lost her memory
00:28:11you've had it where is it that's the problem she hit it before the accident told no one not even
00:28:16us
00:28:17the evidence has been sitting there for 30 years waiting for her to remember
00:28:25how many willows does she have left dr harrison said maybe two maybe one
00:28:30she uses the last one for the new path she might not survive i know
00:28:37it's ivy and she thinks the code is one-on-one eighty-eight wedding day
00:28:40i can work and grace has richard's fingerprint from a glass at the estate then we move tonight
00:28:47marcus called told me about the code
00:28:52you have richard's fingerprint from a glass at the estate two weeks ago how did you know you'd need
00:28:58it i've been planning this for 20 years i have prints from every sterling family event
00:29:06you're terrifying thank you the code one zero one zero eight eight are you sure i saw thomas's face when
00:29:14i remembered it he was smiling then it's right grace if something happens to me tonight nothing's
00:29:21going to happen if something happens take care of them my children nothing's gonna happen but yes
00:29:28i will the study is on the second floor east wing two guards at the front one at the back
00:29:34grace
00:29:35will disable the security system from inside and us you stay here this is a fbi operation she's our
00:29:42mother we're going fine but you follow my orders no heroics we're not heroes we're children roll out
00:29:51in 20. my father used to say that the stars are just holes in the darkness light coming through that
00:29:59even when everything's black there's always a way out then let's go find the light what did he mean
00:30:08i remembered something else today
00:30:13the mechanic the one who checked thomas's car the day he died his name was victor petrov
00:30:24he didn't just fix cars did he
00:30:29he was my dad richard paid him to cut the brakes my dad tried to back out he warned thomas
00:30:36but it was too
00:30:38late two weeks after thomas died richard had my dad's car run off the road grace
00:30:49i was 19. i changed my name i got a nursing degree and i got a job with the man
00:30:57who murdered my father
00:30:5920 years you've been living with him for 20 years i've been playing him feeding the fbn ninja the red
00:31:09cross
00:31:1320 years he took your family he took hours we're gonna take his life
00:31:5420 years
00:31:54every memory window is a localized seizure mrs vance
00:31:58your brain is essentially eating itself give it to me straight doc how many does she have left
00:32:05two at most if she triggers a third she faces total cognitive collapse permanent wipe
00:32:15good to know the limit we know richard's safe is behind the painting
00:32:20but the fbi can't open it without the six digit code richard changed the override protocol
00:32:26he told his lawyer the backup code is linked to the swiss bank account
00:32:32and i need to go to zurich no you heard the doctor one wrong trigger on that trip and your
00:32:37brain dead
00:32:38thomas died for this evidence grace's father died for it i am not letting richard walk away because i was
00:32:43too scared to catch a flight
00:32:47i'll fly commercial under the radar just the janitor taking a trip
00:32:51i need a favor from your lead flight attendant on lx 17 tomorrow
00:33:18tell her there's 10 grand in it if she makes the toilet scrubber in 37 d wish she never stepped

00:33:33it's me i need you to do something on the flight tomorrow the janitor in 37c make her life hell

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. We should go.
00:38:31Thomas.
00:38:34Let's die.
00:38:36Hurry. It's this way.
00:38:42We just broke into a house.
00:38:44We retrieved stolen evidence.
00:38:46It's not breaking. It'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. Maybe.
00:39:12A permanent memory loss.
00:39:13Or brain death.
00:39:15I understand.
00:39:17No! We have the UPAD! We don't need another window!
00:39:19The UPAD 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 thirty 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.
00:39:47Fuck the UPAD.
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.
00:40:06You'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 UPAD.
00:40:37I used it for you.
00:40:40We know.
00:40:40We know.
00:40:41And you know I'm an idiot.
00:40:43A sentimental idiot.
00:40:44The biggest.
00:40:45The window is closed.
00:40:47Her 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 UBAC data.
00:41:02They 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.
00:41:19The same story.
00:41:20She never told me stories.
00:41:21She sang.
00:41:22Off key.
00:41:23She taught me how to tie my shoes.
00:41:25I was seven.
00:41:26I 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.
00:41:45We have 15 minutes.
00:41:47That's enough.
00:42:01Richard's fingerprint.
00:42:03From a wine glass at his birthday party.
00:42:08Your turn.
00:42:14One zero.
00:42:15One zero.
00:42:16One zero.
00:42:25Thomas.
00:42:30This is it.
00:42:35I thought I'd find you here.
00:42:39Stay 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.
00:42:51And I learned to collect evidence.
00:42:54That 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 cop.
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.
00:43:11She picked you out of a fucking orphanage.
00:43:13You've got nothing.
00:43:14Blood doesn't matter.
00:43:15She chose me.
00:43:16You never chose anyone.
00:43:18Don't.
00:43:19Anya Petrov.
00:43:20I should have killed you when I had the chance.
00:43:22You killed my father.
00:43:23That was your mistake.
00:43:28Richard Sterling.
00:43:30You're under arrest for the murders of Thomas Vance and Victor 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.
00:43:43I'll be out in five years.
00:43:45Ten at most.
00:43:46And then...
00:43:47You'll be dead.
00:43:48Or I will be.
00:43:51We'll need that.
00:43:53It's all there.
00:43:55Bank records.
00:43:56Audio.
00:43:57Everything.
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.
00:44:18Morning, Mom.
00:44:19I 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?
00:44:31What is this?
00:44:32It'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, but I know exactly who you two are.
00:44:54I kept the only treasure that mattered.
00:44:56It's official, Marcus.
00:44:57The grand jury just returned the indictment.
00:45:00First degree murder, conspiracy, money laundering, no 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.
00:45:17Richard'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.
00:45:42Move the funds to the Caymans.
00:45:44I'll lay low until the Vance family drops their guard.
00:45:47Then...
00:45:48We handle them.
00:45:54Marcus told me about your memory.
00:45:57About the company.
00:45:57Thirty years of stress wiped clean.
00:46:00Thirty years of stress wiped clean.
00:46:00I feel lighter, Grace.
00:46:02You really don't regret it?
00:46:03Not for a single second.
00:46:08Tomorrow I go to court.
00:46:10I have to look Richard in the eye one last time.
00:46:14And then...
00:46:15I can finally rest.
00:46:20The people call Elena Vance.
00:46:23The people call Elena Vance.
00:46:24Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:46:28I do.
00:46:29Mrs. Vance, do you remember the night of your car accident?
00:46:31October 17, 1992.
00:46:32I remember fragments.
00:46:34The rain, the headlights, the feeling of the car going off the road.
00:46:36Objection!
00:46:37The witness attested to memory is unreliable.
00:46:38Overruled.
00:46:39Mrs. Vance, do you recall what caused the accident?
00:46:41I didn't know for thirty years.
00:46:42But now I do.
00:46:43The brakes were cut.
00:46:45Someone tampered with my car the night before.
00:46:48I was scheduled to testify against Richard Sterling.
00:46:51Do 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.
00:47:05Richard Sterling.
00:47:06This is outrageous! No evidence!
00:47:08Sit down, counsel.
00:47:09The witness will continue.
00:47:11Mrs. Vance, the USB drive you recovered contained
00:47:13an 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,
00:47:40we 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.
00:47:47On all counts, guilty.
00:47:48Richard Sterling, you are sentenced to life in prison
00:47:52without 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.
00:48:16What?
00:48:17If your father had loved you, would you have been different?
00:48:21Maybe.
00:48:23But he didn't.
00:48:24So 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.
00:48:38Ivy.
00:48:39It's...
00:48:39It's your mother.
00:48:40I don't have a mother.
00:48:42I 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.
00:48:47Where are you?
00:48:48Brooklyn.
00:48:48Brooklyn.
00:48:49A 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.
00:48:55I know.
00:48:56Then why are you going?
00:48:58Because I need to see her face.
00:49:00To know if I look like her.
00:49:01To know why, whatever you find, this 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.
00:49:17I'm not afraid of hard truths.
00:49:24You look just like him.
00:49:26Your father.
00:49:28I 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.
00:49:42Someone else raised me.
00:49:43Elena.
00:49:44She's my mother.
00:49:45Is she good to you?
00:49:48She's everything.
00:49:51A plane ticket.
00:49:52Some money.
00:49:54Don't contact me again.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:49:57So am I.
00:50:04How was it?
00:50:05She's sad.
00:50:06Broken.
00:50:06She never stopped being afraid.
00:50:09And you?
00:50:10I'm not afraid.
00:50:12Not anymore.
00:50:14Good.
00:50:15You're the only mother I need.
00:50:18And 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
00:50:37response logs to the Elena Vance Institute for Neural Regeneration.
00:50:40I also designate Marcus Vance as my medical proxy.
00:50:44In the event I cannot make decisions for myself.
00:50:47That's correct.
00:50:50Mrs. Vance, are you sure?
00:50:52This is irreversible.
00:50:54I've never been more sure.
00:50:56Mom.
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?
00:51:11Here.
00:51:12And here.
00:51:21It's done.
00:51:22I'll make sure your data is used ethically.
00:51:24Peer reviewed.
00:51:26No corporate exploitation.
00:51:28I trust you.
00:51:29You're really not afraid?
00:51:30I'm afraid of one thing.
00:51:32Losing your faces.
00:51:34That's why I used 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.
00:51:49You signed the papers.
00:51:50You heard?
00:51:51My 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.
00:51:59Are you scared?
00:52:00A little.
00:52:01Not 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.
00:52:11To mom.
00:52:12To mom.
00:52:15To all of you.
00:52:17My greatest achievement.
00:52:19The company made foils.
00:52:21The 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.
00:52:41I'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.
00:53:10She worked three jobs.
00:53:11She never complained.
00:53:12She raised us.
00:53:12I made a film about her.
00:53:15It'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.
00:53:26We will use her donated memory data to develop treatments for traumatic brain injury.
00:53:29Is 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.
00:53:35How is Mrs. Vance doing?
00:53:39She's resting.
00:53:40She's done her part.
00:53:42Now 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 fund today.
00:54:01I know.
00:54:02They 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.
00:54:10You'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?
00:54:22Your family now.
00:54:24Every family needs a tree.
00:54:25I'd like that.
00:54:28Then let's dig.
00:54:41What's that?
00:54:45Grace's tree.
00:54:47Grace gets a tree?
00:54:50I've waited 20 years.
00:54:51I deserve a tree.
00:54:56The press conference went well.
00:54:58The 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.
00:55:19They're not small anymore.
00:55:21But 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.
00:56:09It's beautiful.
00:56:10Open it.
00:56:15My babies.
00:56:17You can carry us with you.
00:56:21I will.
00:56:23Always.
00:56:26For you.
00:56:27From all of us.
00:56:48It's grown.
00:56:51Trees do that.
00:56:53Gamma!
00:56:54Money!
00:56:56I remember this.
00:56:58I scratched it the year I started working at the hotel.
00:57:01Thought 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.
00:57:19The children are happy.
00:57:20The patent is going to the public.
00:57:22Richard is in a cell.
00:57:24I'm ready now.
00:57:30Goodbye, old friend.
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.
00:57:46No one noticed her.
00:57:47Those were the happiest years of her life.
00:57:50Because 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.
00:57:58It'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.
00:58:11But 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.
00:58:22Being 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.
00:58:39Now she has.
00:58:40She can't be here today.
00:58:41But she's watching.
00:58:43I know she is.
00:58:46Thank you, Mom.
00:58:56They made me look too young.
00:58:57The statue is beautiful.
00:58:58It's bronze.
00:59:00I'm flesh, bronze.
00:59:01I'm tired, Grace.
00:59:03I know.
00:59:10She didn't come.
00:59:11She said the alley was for us, not 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.
00:59:20How much time?
00:59:21No one knows.
00:59:22But she's not in pain.
00:59:23She's not alone.
00:59:25That's what matters.
00:59:26She's been sleeping.
00:59:30She's not alone.
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 off-key.
01:00:07She hummed Amazing Grace.
01:00:10I always thought it was for me.
01:00:12Grandma? Grandma?
01:00:14What's this, sweetheart?
01:00:26It's from Mom.
01:00:30To my kids, if you're reading this, I'm gone.
01:00:34Don't you dead cry.
01:00:36I 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, and that's the only goddamn reason I turned out okay.
01:00:46And me behind the radiator, your pink blanket,
01:00:50you asking if I was her mom, those 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.
01:01:13Love, Mom.
01:01:17Grandma? Where grandma?
01:01:21Grandma's in the stars, baby.
01:01:23Stars?
01:01:29She left this for me, in an envelope,
01:01:32with a note that said,
01:01:34For Grace, you 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?
01:01:51At the end?
01:01:52She knew us.
01:01:54That's what mattered.
01:01:57She 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?
01:02:12She 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.
01:02:37I 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, but it belongs here, with 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 look 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.
01:03:20I buried the sound of her humming.
01:03:22Off-neek.
01:03:22Always.
01:03:24What memory do you want to bury, little one?
01:03:28Gamma's coin!
01:03:34Where did you find this?
01:03:36Garden!
01:03:37Gamma's garden!
01:03:39She 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.
01:04:01She would have hated all this fuss.
01:04:03She would have said,
01:04:04You'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.
01:04:15Humming off to.
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.
01:04:31It's four in the morning.
01:04:32I know.
01:04:33But I couldn't sleep.
01:04:35So I cooked.
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.
01:04:53Mommy.
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.
01:05:11Why?
01:05:12Because every child needs a home.
01:05:14And I have room.
01:05:16You won't hurt me.
01:05:19Never.
01:05:23This is where she found herself.
01:05:25Not in the boardroom.
01:05:27Not 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.
01:05:39Rest now, Mom.
01:05:40We'll carry the broom.
01:05:52Gamma, I found your money.
01:05:56The defendant, John Harrison, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering,
01:06:02obstruction of justice, and tampering with a witness.
01:06:06How do you plea?
01:06:07Not guilty.
01:06:07Your Honor, the people have evidence recovered from the Swiss bank account ending 773,
01:06:10payments to Harrison spanning 30 years, as well as testimony from Richard Sterling,
01:06:14who has agreed to cooperate in exchange for a reduced sentence.
01:06:16Bail denied.
01:06:18Remanded to federal custody.
01:06:21You have nothing.
01:06:22We have everything.
01:06:25Run the activation sequence again.
01:06:28The 1108 file.
01:06:29Running.
01:06:31There.
01:06:31That peak.
01:06:32It is not random.
01:06:34What is that?
01:06:35A message.
01:06:43Phoenix is a password.
01:06:45Go on.
01:06:54What else did you hide, Mrs. Vance?
01:06:58Agent Clark?
01:06:59It is Dr. Keenix.
01:07:00I found something in Elena Vance's data.
01:07:02What kind of something?
01:07:02A hidden file.
01:07:03It references a second Swiss account.
01:07:04And a name.
01:07:05Someone else involved in the murders.
01:07:07Someone still alive?
01:07:08Not anymore.
01:07:09But his clients are.
01:07:11She didn't just hide evidence against Richard.
01:07:13She hid a whole network.
01:07:14Send me everything.
01:07:15Now.
01:07:16Agent Clark.
01:07:17What was Elena Vance to you?
01:07:20She was a friend.
01:07:21And the bravest woman I ever knew.
01:07:23She is still helping.
01:07:25Even now.
01:07:30You never stopped fighting, did you, Phoenix?
01:07:32This is Amina Clark.
01:07:33I need warrants for the names on this list.
01:07:35All of them.
01:07:36Thank you, Elena.
01:07:39Grandma, go!
