00:00:14No evidence.
00:00:16Can't do anything.
00:00:28One year.
00:00:29I promised her one year.
00:00:31But I lied.
00:00:33It's not one year.
00:00:34It's today.
00:00:59It's today.
00:01:04Mr. Astral was impressed by your resume.
00:01:08I believe in giving back.
00:01:10Every young artist deserves a chance to shine.
00:01:18You've handled several high-net-wealth divorce crises.
00:01:21Why'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.
00:01:28How do I know you'll be on my sister's side?
00:01:31I don't make promises.
00:01:32I do the job.
00:01:33You'll see the results.
00:01:36Standard protocol.
00:01:38Your personal phone stays with us.
00:01:40You 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.
00:02:08Post-portum.
00:02:11It's not.
00:02:15How do you know?
00:02:19Because I've seen this before.
00:02:21The fear.
00:02:23The 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?
00:02:43Before you.
00:02:45Was there ever a scandal?
00:02:46A lawsuit?
00:02:48A woman who disappeared?
00:02:50There was a girl.
00:02:51Years ago.
00:02:52A 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?
00:03:00I don't remember.
00:03:02It was before we got married.
00:03:03He 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.
00:04:31My thoughts were gone.
00:04:34Because...
00:04:39Miss 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?
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.
00:05:16All 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.
00:05:58I'm going to 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.
00:06:23White reported it.
00:06:25They 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, she was a student at an art school five years ago.
00:06:35The same school that received a large donation from the Winthrop Foundation around 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, who 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.
00:07:44Whose problems?
00:07:47All of them.
00:07:48Even 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.
00:07:57Then she disappeared.
00:08:00I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:02Of course you don't.
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.
00:08:19So 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.
00:08:47I'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.
00:09:21He's a monster.
00:09:23Not the hitting kind.
00:09:25The smart kind.
00:09:26Did 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.
00:09:46The 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.
00:10:13Master.
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.
00:10:22Five 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.
00:10:40But 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.
00:11:12I 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.
00:12:41I 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 9 a.m.
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 11 days.
00:13:28Lope.
00:13:40I admit tomorrow, sis.
00:13:43Tomorrow he starts to fall.
00:13:46Because my client needed me on her side.
00:14:00We're requesting supervised visitation.
00:14:02Mrs. Winthrow's recent behavior suggests...
00:14:06I did not push Daisy.
00:14:08You 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 except for 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.
00:14:29Talked to her.
00:14:31When 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.
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 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.
00:16:52But 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.
00:17:15I'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.
00:17:25You'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.
00:17:43Victoria.
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.
00:18:28You're gonna be okay.
00:18:35for you Mia when these bloom he'll be in prison
00:18:48the settlement agreement is enough to open an investigation but without your sister's
00:18:52testimony it's weak I have a witness Martha the former nanny
00:18:57she heard Jeffrey threatened my sister and she saw my sister at the house
00:19:01distraught that's corroborating evidence but not enough for a conviction we need
00:19:07more then find more I've given you everything I have you've been waiting
00:19:13five years for this five years two months and 18 days I'll assign a team but I
00:19:23can't promise anything I don't need promises I need you to try

00:20:11Mia sends her love
00:20:16you're gonna regret this
00:20:21no I made my mistake five years ago I waited
00:20:51Astor he took the bait 50,000 and he mentioned my sister
00:20:55I heard. The driver had the window cracked.
00:20:58Then you know what happens next.
00:21:01I'll have the divorce papers ready by 9 a.m., and the D.A. 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. Victoria has full custody. You'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.
00:22:06Just...
00:22:07That'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.
00:23:03One 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.
00:23:34Come in.
00:23:37I come bearing gifts.
00:23:40I didn't invite you.
00:23:44No.
00:23:45But I was in the neighborhood.
00:23:49You live an hour away.
00:23:51Fine.
00:23:52I wanted to see you.
00:24:12You 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.
00:24:38I'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.
00:25:06The snow, ten 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.
00:25:24However long it takes.
00:25:34I'll wait.
00:25:42We have the settlement agreement, Martha's testimony, and the new recording of Jeffrey's
00:25:48bribe attempt.
00:25:48But we still don't have Mia's testimony.
00:25:53Without it, a jury might not convict.
00:25:56She can't testify.
00:25:57She's not well.
00:25:58Then we need something else.
00:26:00Another victim.
00:26:03I've been looking for five years.
00:26:08I haven't found anyone.
00:26:12What about Victoria?
00:26:14He emotionally abused her.
00:26:16That's a pattern.
00:26:18Whatever you think, Al, what's it going?
00:26:20Pattern evidence is admissible in some states.
00:26:23But it's not enough for a sexual assault charge.
00:26:26Then find another way.
00:26:28Wire fraud.
00:26:29Money laundering.
00:26:30Witness treempering.
00:26:32Put him away for something.
00:26:34You're willing to let him walk on the assault charges?
00:26:37I'm willing to let him rot in prison for anything.
00:26:43You didn't tell me about the snow.
00:26:45About saving my brother.
00:26:49It wasn't relevant.
00:26:50He's been looking for you for ten years.
00:26:53And you just...
00:26:55let him.
00:26:57I had other things to focus on.
00:27:02Like revenge?
00:27:04Like justice.
00:27:05There's a difference.
00:27:09Is there?
00:27:10Revenge is personal.
00:27:12Justice is for everyone.
00:27:13I want him in prison so he can't do this to anyone else.
00:27:16That's not revenge.
00:27:18That's prevention.
00:27:21You really believe that?
00:27:24I have to.
00:27:49I found something.
00:27:52What is it?
00:27:59There was another one.
00:28:00Not your sister.
00:28:01A different student.
00:28:02Her name is Sarah.
00:28:06Where is she now?
00:28:08Oregon.
00:28:09She's married.
00:28:09Different name.
00:28:10I have her contact info.
00:28:13The professor was Jeffrey's friend.
00:28:15They covered for each other.
00:28:16Sarah might have information about both.
00:28:21I'll call her.
00:28:34I'll call her.
00:28:36Hello?
00:28:37Sarah.
00:28:38My name's Ella White.
00:28:39My sister was Mia White.
00:28:41Five years ago she accused Jeffrey Wintrop of...
00:28:44I know who you are.
00:28:45I saw the news.
00:28:46But I can't.
00:28:47I have a family now.
00:28:49I can't go through that again.
00:28:51I understand.
00:28:52But Mia, my sister, she's still in a care facility.
00:28:55She hasn't painted in five years.
00:28:57He took everything from her.
00:28:58Mia White?
00:28:59She was the one who spoke first.
00:29:01I read about her.
00:29:02She's still fighting.
00:29:03But she can't do it alone.
00:29:05I've been waiting five years to tell the truth.
00:29:07No one believed me back then.
00:29:10But if your sister was brave enough to come forward, so am I.
00:29:16Thank you, Sarah.
00:29:18Don't thank me.
00:29:19Thank your sister.
00:29:36We found another one, sis.
00:29:40Another victim.
00:29:42Her name is Sarah.
00:29:45She's going to testify.
00:29:52You're not alone anymore.
00:30:04He told me no one would believe a starving artist against a billionaire.
00:30:08He was right.
00:30:10No one did.
00:30:11Would you be willing to testify in court?
00:30:16Yes.
00:30:17For Mia.
00:30:19And for every other girl he hurt.
00:30:25With Sarah's testimony, we have enough to indict Jeffrey on multiple counts.
00:30:29But I need to warn you.
00:30:31His lawyers will attack your sister's credibility.
00:30:33They'll say she was unstable.
00:30:35They'll use her medical records against her.
00:30:37Let them.
00:30:37My sister is not on trial.
00:30:39He is.
00:30:43I'll file the charges by the end of the week.
00:31:01You did it.
00:31:04We did it.
00:31:05Sarah was brave.
00:31:07She was.
00:31:08But she shouldn't have had to be.
00:31:10None of them should have.
00:31:13What happens after?
00:31:15When he's in prison?
00:31:17Then 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.
00:31:24You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:25You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:32You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:34You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:37You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:42You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:42You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:44You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:45You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:45You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:45You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:45You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:45You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:46You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:47You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:49You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:52You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop, the former CEO, was taken into custody this morning following a two-year
00:32:11investigation.
00:32:21Are you okay?
00:32:28He's arrested.
00:32:30He's actually arrested.
00:32:39You missed it.
00:32:40The 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.
00:32:56Was he?
00:32:59Yes.
00:33:11What are you thinking?
00:33:15I'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 and 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 who 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.
00:34:18He is.
00:34:29Who's that?
00:34:31Alexander.
00:34:32Why?
00:34:34He makes you smile.
00:34:35I like him.
00:34:40He's...
00:34:40Complicated.
00:34:42Everyone is complicated.
00:34:44You're complicated.
00:34:44That doesn't mean you should be alone.
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:53Always.
00:35:07D.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.
00:35:43Art funding.
00:35:45Then assault.
00:35:46Her name is Lisa.
00:35:47She's willing to talk.
00:35:51I'll call her.
00:35:57Hello?
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.
00:36:45She's going to testify.
00:37:05Thank you for seeing me.
00:37:09Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:13I read about you, about the Winthron case, about your sister.
00:37:18You're not just a consultant.
00:37:20You're a fighter.
00:37:25I'm both.
00:37:27Do 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.
00:37:57Just wait.
00:38:00How long?
00:38:02As long as it takes.
00:38:32Finally,
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
00:39:31she handled the payments to the art school
00:39:33she has emails showing Jeffrey personally approved the settlement
00:39:37that's direct evidence
00:39:38it is
00:39:39combined with Sarah and Lisa's testimonies
00:39:42we 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
00:39:49especially your sister's
00:39:51given her medical history
00:39:52then we put a psychologist on the stand
00:39:54explain that trauma doesn't look the same for everyone
00:39:57that her bake down is evidence of what he did
00:40:00not 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

00:40:41his lawyers will

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

00:41:13yes
00:41:15that's brave
00:41:17she's always been brave
00:41:18I just forgot
00:41:20Ella

00:44:53we'll find you a therapist
00:44:54someone who specializes in trauma
00:44:57we 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
00:45:33as a way to find you
00:45:34he knew I'd been looking
00:45:35I don't want anything
00:45:36from 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
00:45:47for Charles
00:45:49he 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
00:46:25was afraid of her
00:46:28because you took on a billionaire
00:46:29with 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
00:46:48but I'm trying
00:47:11he wrote about you
00:47:12in his letters
00:47:19he never met me
00:47:20no
00:47:21but he believed in finding you
00:47:24he said the world
00:47:26needs 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
00:47:48then the will case isn't separate
00:47:50it'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
00:48:13why?
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
00:48:33we have financial record
00:48:35Martha's testimony
00:48:36and we have Mia's video deposition
00:48:38the defense will try to discredit the victims
00:48:41especially given Mia's mental health history
00:48:43but our expert psychologist will explain
00:48:45that trauma-induced breakdowns
00:48:47are not evidence of lying
00:48:48what about the connection to Robert Astor
00:48:50and the will forgery?
00:48:53that'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?
00:49:15better
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
00:49:35to look into Robert's connections with Jeffrey
00:49:37if there's a paper trail
00:49:39we'll find it
00:49:39thank you
00:49:41for believing me
00:49:42I always did
00:49:45even when I didn't know the whole story
00:49:47I'm scared of what comes after
00:49:48after 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
00:50:03who 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
00:50:22about a man who used money
00:50:24influence
00:50:25and 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 Wintherd
00:50:38is not a philanthropist
00:50:40he is a predator
00:50:41the prosecution's case
00:50:43rests on the word
00:50:44of 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?
00:51:02because 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

00:51:35I believed him
00:51:36you settled with the school

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
00:52:11and 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
00:52:24no
00:52:24no
00:52:43he said no one would believe me
00:52:46he said I was nobody
00:52:47He was wrong.
00:53:05Objection, Your Honor. This is prejudicious.
00:53:08Overruled. Sit down.
00:53:10Nia.
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop, did you ever assault any of these women?
00:53:25Never.
00:53:28They're liars. Every one of them.
00:53:31Mr. Winthrop, did you pay the art school to silence Mia White?
00:53:34I donated to the school. That'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 Winthrop.
00:53:47This is your signature, isn't it?
00:53:50I... it was handled by my lawyers.
00:53:52So you don't deny it's your signature?
00:53:54Yes, that's my signature. But it doesn't mean what she says it means.
00:53:58Then what does it mean?
00:54:12He's lying. Everyone can see it.
00:54:17It doesn't matter. The jury needs to believe us.
00:54:21They will.
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:25Because... I believe you. And I'm not the only one.
00:54:30Alexander.
00:54:31Yeah?
00:54:33After this is over, I'd like to try. Not maybe. Try.
00:54:39I've been ready since the first day you walked into my garden.
00:55:07You should eat something.
00:55:11Not hungry.
00:55:12Ella. Whatever happens, you've already won.
00:55:15You made him stand trial. You made the world see who he is.
00:55:19Winning is a conviction. Anything 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.
00:56:20Sentencing 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. On video. That's enough. Now she needs to heal.
00:56:58What's next for you?
00:57:03I have a company to run, and sunflowers to grow.
00:57:06One more time to-
00:57:25You're not-
00:57:26Guilty?
00:57:28Guilty.
00:57:29Guilty.
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.
00:58:09You 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. She'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.
00:58:32You'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.
00:58:50Robert 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.
00:59:13Okay.
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.
00:59:38Was 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.
01:00:01You'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...
01:00:25Sad.
01:00:26And 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...
01:00:46I'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.
01:01:23She's in her element.
01:01:33This, this is my favorite part of the day.
01:01:38Come in.
01:01:41Miss White?
01:01:44My name's Rachel.
01:01:46My husband is a venture capitalist.
01:01:48I think he's hiding money.
01:01:49And I think he's dangerous.
01:01:55Sit down.
01:01:57Tell me everything.
01:02:12You're crying.
01:02:14No, I'm not. It's the onions.
01:02:17Dinner in ten.
01:02:19I'll set the table.
01:02:23I'm over as a course field me and then lies.
01:02:26At whom age has it played we were suckers.
01:02:28Stance and I would like things we share.
01:02:30He said my color palette was too depressing.
01:02:32Can you believe that?
01:02:38It's perfect, isn't it?
01:02:41Home.
01:02:47On the sexual assault counts, 15 years without parole.
01:02:52On wire fraud and money laundering, an additional five years to run consecutively.
01:02:57Total sentence, 20 years.
01:03:05It's over.
01:03:07For him.
01:03:09For us, it's just beginning.
01:03:23For us, it's just beginning.
01:03:29He'll be old when he gets out.
01:03:31We'll be older.
01:03:33And freer.
01:03:45I framed it.
01:03:46It belongs on your wall.
01:03:52You didn't have to.
01:04:02Good.
01:04:05Your work, it's beautiful.
01:04:08What now?
01:04:12Now we live.
01:04:14Now we live.
01:04:26We'll be old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're
01:04:30old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're old when we're old when
