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

00:25:24however long it takes
00:25:41we have the settlement agreement
00:25:44Martha's testimony
00:25:45and the new recording of Jeffrey's bribe attempt
00:25:48but we still don't have
00:25:50Mia's testimony
00:25:53without it
00:25:54a 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
00:26:13he emotionally abused her
00:26:15that's a pattern
00:26:17whatever you think I what's it going
00:26:19pattern evidence is admissible in some states
00:26:22but it's not enough for a sexual assault charge
00:26:26then find another way
00:26:27wire fraud
00:26:29money laundering
00:26:30witness treempering
00:26:32put him away for something
00:26:33you'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
00:27:11justice is for everyone
00:27:13I want him in prison
00:27:14so he can't do this to anyone else
00:27:16that's not revenge
00:27:17that's prevention
00:27:21you really believe that?
00:27:24I have to
00:27:49I found something
00:27:53what is it?

00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop, the former CEO, was taken into custody this morning following a two-year
00:32:11investigation.
00:32:22Are you okay?
00:32:24Are you okay?
00:32:28Are you okay?
00:32:29He's arrested.
00:32:30He's actually arrested.
00:32:39You missed it.
00:32:41The arrest.
00:32:42I saw it.
00:32:44From 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.
00:34:17He is.
00:34:29Who's that?
00:34:30Alexander.
00:34:32Why?
00:34:34He makes you smile.
00:34:35I like him.
00:34:40He's complicated.
00:34:42Everyone is complicated.
00:34:44You're complicated.
00:34:45That doesn't mean you should be alone.
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:53Always.
00:35:07The DA'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.
00:35:20I know.
00:35:21I told them that.
00:35:22But they're worried Sarah alone won't be enough.
00:35:24Then find more victims.
00:35:26There have to be more.
00:35:27I'm trying.
00:35:28But these cases are old.
00:35:30People have moved on.
00:35:31They don't want to relive it.
00:35:32Neither does my sister.
00:35:33But she didn't have a choice.
00:35:35Neither do they.
00:35:37There's something else.
00:35:38The private investigator found a woman in Chicago.
00:35:41Same pattern.
00:35:43Mentorship, art funding, then assault.
00:35:46Her name is Lisa.
00:35:47She's willing to talk.
00:35:51I'll call her.
00:35:58Hello?
00:35:59Lisa?
00:36:00My name is Ella White.
00:36:02My sister was Mia White.
00:36:03Five years ago.
00:36:04I know who you are.
00:36:05I saw the news.
00:36:06I've been waiting for someone to call.
00:36:08Would you be willing to speak to the DA?
00:36:10I'll do one better.
00:36:11I'll testify.
00:36:12I'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.
00:36:20She was the first one who spoke.
00:36:22The rest of us were too scared.
00:36:32Two now, sis.
00:36:33You're not alone.
00:36:42Another one, sis.
00:36:44Her name is Lisa.
00:36:46She's going to testify.
00:37:05Thank you for seeing me.
00:37:09Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:13I read about you
00:37:15about the Winthron case
00:37:16about your sister
00:37:18you're not just a consultant
00:37:20you're a fighter

00:39:11he's a good student
00:39:27we found another witness
00:39:29a former employee
00:39:30of the Winthrope Foundation
00:39:31she handled the payments
00:39:33to the art school
00:39:33she has emails
00:39:34showing Jeffrey
00:39:35personally approved
00:39:36the settlement
00:39:37that's direct evidence
00:39:38it is
00:39:39combined with Sarah
00:39:41and Lisa's testimonies
00:39:42we have enough
00:39:43for a strong case
00:39:44but we still need to address
00:39:45the 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
00:39:53on the stand

00:39:56for everyone
00:39:57that her bake down

00:40:07I'll assign a victim
00:40:08advocate to work
00:40:09with your sister
00:40:10just to see if she's
00:40:11willing to give a deposition
00:40:12not in court
00:40:13just on video
00:40:14that way the jury
00:40:15can see her
00:40:15without her having
00:40:16to face Jeffrey
00:40:21I'll ask her
00:40:28the DA wants to talk to you

00:46:23sit 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
00:46:29a billionaire
00:46:29with nothing but a laptop
00:46:31and a voice recorder
00:46:33because you've been

00:47:26needs more people
00:47:27like you
00:47:27people who stop
00:47:28for strangers
00:47:39look at this

00:47:46if Robert was
00:47:47connected to Jeffrey

00:47:50isn't separate
00:47:50it's connected
00:47:52to everything
00:47:52you think Jeffrey
00:47:54helped Robert

00:48:07I'm just someone
00:48:08who doesn't stop

00:48:12me about you
00:48:14why

00:48:41especially given
00:48:42Mia's mental
00:48:43health history
