00:00:15No evidence. Can't do anything.
00:00:28One year. I promised her one year. But I lied. It's not one year. It's today.
00:01:03Miss White, please sit.
00:01:05Mr. Astral was impressed by your resume.
00:01:08I believe in giving back. Every young artist deserves a chance to shine.
00:01:18You've handled several high net wealth divorce crisis. 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?
00:01:31I don't make promises. I do the job. You'll see the results.
00:01:37Standard protocol. Your personal phone stays with us. You may use this house phone.
00:01:51Welcome aboard, Mrs. White. Thank you.
00:01:56Jeffrey, I'm inside.
00:02:05They 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.
00:02:26The way you flinch when someone touches your shoulder.
00:02:30He doesn't hit me.
00:02:33There are worse things than hitting.
00:02:37Victoria, did Jeffrey ever hurt someone else? Someone who wasn't you?
00:02:42What do you mean?
00:02:44Before you.
00:02:45Before you. Was there ever a scandal?
00:02:47A lawsuit? A woman who disappeared?
00:02:50There was a girl. Years ago. A student. He sponsored her. She accused him of something.
00:02:56Then she dropped out. He said she was lying.
00:03:00What was her name?
00:03:01I don't remember. It was before we got married. He said she was unstable.
00:03:12Unstable. Unstable, right?
00:03:23He said no one would believe me.
00:03:25He said no one would believe me.
00:03:34Not 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.
00:04:32My thoughts were gone. I guess.
00:04:39Ms. White. A word.
00:04:44I understand.
00:04:44Right. You're pushing her too hard. She's fragile.
00:04:50She's not fragile. She's been gas-lifted into believing she is.
00:04:55I don't want you coaching her into a war she can't win.
00:04:59Mr. Astor, do you know everything your brother-in-law does? Everything?
00:05:03What kind of question is that?
00:05:05The kind that matters. He's not just cheating on your sister. He's been doing it for years. Maybe longer than
00:05:11you know.
00:05:12What are you implying?
00:05:13I'm not implying anything. I'm asking if you want to know the truth. All of it.
00:05:18Get the evidence first. Then we'll talk.
00:05:21I will.
00:05:23You know, they're used to seeing snow, but nothing like this...
00:05:34That was another life. Before she was broken. Before I swore I'd make him pay.
00:05:47Can you leave the phone next to her? I just want to hear her breathe.
00:05:54I'm inside, sis. I'm inside his house. I'm gonna make him pay for what he did to you.
00:06:01I promise.
00:06:11What did you find?
00:06:13Background check on Ella White is back. She was fired from her last job, some family in Connecticut.
00:06:18Officially, it was professional misconduct. Off the record, the family's son was abusing his wife.
00:06:24White reported it. They protected the son, buried her.
00:06:27What's this? A sealed juvenile record?
00:06:29It's sealed. I couldn't access it. But her sister, the one in the care facility,
00:06:33she was a student at an art school five years ago. The same school that received a large donation
00:06:37from the Winthrop Foundation around the same time she dropped out.
00:06:40The Winthrop Foundation. Jeffrey.
00:06:42The timing is... suggestive.
00:06:44Don't dig further. Not yet. But keep this between us.
00:06:49Understood.
00:06:54Ella White. Who are you really?
00:06:59The acquisition of the Renar is a coup for the gallery.
00:07:03Indeed, a masterstroke.
00:07:07Welcome to the team, dear.
00:07:12Thank you so much for coming.
00:07:39You're playing a dangerous game.
00:07:41I don't play games, Mr. Wendethow. I solve problems.
00:07:45Whose problems?
00:07:47All of them. Even the old ones.
00:07:51What old ones?
00:07:52Five years ago. An art school. A student. She accused someone. Then 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? He 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.
00:08:39You never told me what happened that night. The 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.
00:08:52Because you need to get better first.
00:08:54Better for what?
00:08:55Better to see him go to prison.
00:08:57You found him?
00:08:59I'm inside his house right now.
00:09:01Working for his wife.
00:09:03Be careful. He's dangerous.
00:09:06So am I.
00:09:07I love you.
00:09:21He's a monster.
00:09:24Not the hitting kind.
00:09:25The smart kind.
00:09:27Did he ever hurt anyone else?
00:09:30Before Victoria?
00:09:35There was a girl. Years ago. A student.
00:09:38She came to the house once. Crying.
00:09:40Jeffrey locked the door and talked to her.
00:09:42When she left, she looked broken.
00:09:44I never saw her again.
00:09:45I don't know her name, but she had a sister.
00:09:47The sister came later, screaming at Jeffrey in the driveway.
00:09:50He called the cops on her.
00:09:51What happened to the sister?
00:09:53Nothing. The cops told her to leave.
00:09:56She did.
00:09:58But she looked at Jeffrey like she wanted to kill him.
00:10:03Thank you, Martha. This is enough.
00:10:14Aster.
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.
00:10:21What?
00:10:21Jeffrey Winthrop. Five years ago.
00:10:24An art school student. Any records, police reports, lawsuits, anything.
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.
00:11:04Who told you?
00:11:05Martha, the Nancy who quit, she also told me something else.
00:11:10About a girl. Years ago. An 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. He said she was crazy.
00:11:21She wasn't crazy.
00:11:25How do you know?
00:11:32Tomorrow, family meeting.
00:11:35You know what to say.
00:11:37Three things. Can you do that?
00:11:40Yes. Good.
00:11:44Ella?
00:11:47Who was she?
00:11:49The girl?
00:11:52My sister.
00:12:06I did what you asked.
00:12:08I looked into Jeffrey's past.
00:12:09Five years ago, an art student accused him of sexual assault.
00:12:12The school settled.
00:12:14The student dropped out.
00:12:15No police report. No charges.
00:12:17But-
00:12:17And the student's name?
00:12:22Mia White.
00:12:29Your sister.
00:12:33Yes.
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.
00:12:44They'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.
00:13:08We'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.
00:13:14She 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.
00:13:29Lo.
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.
00:14:03Mrs. Winthrow's recent behavior suggests-
00:14:07I did not push Daisy.
00:14:09You paid nannies to lie about me.
00:14:12And I will not give up custody.
00:14:15This is ridiculous.
00:14:17Something my curse says.
00:14:18But only an order except for hun for the problem-
00:14:20First for this one Annie's 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.
00:14:30Talked to her.
00:14:31When she left, she looked broken.
00:14:34This is bullshit!
00:14:37Jeffrey.
00:14:39You set me up!
00:14:41It's evidence.
00:14:43And I have more.
00:14:47Five years ago, an art student accused you of sexual assault.
00:14:51Her name was Mia White.
00:14:54She dropped out after the school settled.
00:14:57You paid them to make it go away.
00:15:00This is relevant to the custody case.
00:15:02It's relevant to everything.
00:15:04We're not just here about custody anymore.
00:15:06We're here about whether a predator has been sitting at my family's table for five years.
00:15:13You believe her?
00:15:15She's a stranger.
00:15:16She's using you.
00:15:18I believe her.
00:15:20Because I know what you did to me.
00:15:22And now I know you did it to others.
00:15:37You just blew up the family.
00:15:39The press will be all over this.
00:15:41Good.
00:15:42Let them.
00:15:43Jeffrey Winthrop should be in prison, not at board meetings.
00:15:46And your sister, is she ready to come forward?
00:15:49She's not well.
00:15:50She can't testify.
00:15:52But Martha can.
00:15:53And the settlement agreement is enough to start a criminal investigation.
00:16:00You've been playing chess while the rest of us played checkers.
00:16:02I told you.
00:16:04I don't play games.
00:16:15Jeffrey's lawyer's called.
00:16:18He'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.
00:16:35Victoria 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.
00:16:49We give the evidence to the DA.
00:16:50They investigate.
00:16:51He goes to prison.
00:16:52But Victoria gets her divorce now.
00:16:55Fine.
00:16:56But I want to be the one who hands the evidence to the DA.
00:16:59Done.
00:17:04Nicholas told me.
00:17:08About your sister.
00:17:16I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
00:17:18You don't have to apologize.
00:17:22He hurt her.
00:17:24He hurt me.
00:17:25You're trying to stop him.
00:17:27That's more than anyone else ever did.
00:17:31For your sister's care.
00:17:33And for your new company.
00:17:35Take it.
00:17:42Thank you, Victoria.
00:17:45No.
00:17:48For believing me.
00:17:49And for believing her.
00:17:55You're going to be okay, Victoria.
00:17:57I know.
00:18:35For you, Mia.
00:18:37When these bloom, he'll be in prison.
00:18:48The settlement agreement is enough to open an investigation.
00:18:51But without your sister's testimony, it's weak.
00:18:54I have a witness.
00:18:56Martha, the former nanny.
00:18:57She heard Jeffrey threaten my sister.
00:19:00And she saw my sister at the house, distraught.
00:19:03That's corroborating evidence, but not enough for a conviction.
00:19:07We need more.
00:19:08Then find more.
00:19:09I've given you everything I have.
00:19:12You've been waiting five years for this.
00:19:14Five years, two months, and 18 days.
00:19:21I'll assign a team.
00:19:23But I can't promise anything.
00:19:26I don't need promises.
00:19:27I need you to try.
00:19:28$50,000.
00:19:30Right now.
00:19:31In cash.
00:19:33You walk away.
00:19:34No one gets hurt.
00:19:36You're offering me a bribe.
00:19:37I'm offering you a choice.
00:19:39Take the money.
00:19:40Leave the city.
00:19:42Forget you ever knew my name.
00:19:46And if I don't?
00:19:48Then I'll destroy you.
00:19:50Your sister's medical records will be all over the internet.
00:19:54Every breakdown.
00:19:55Every diagnosis.
00:19:56She'll be a laughing stock.
00:19:58No one will believe her.
00:20:00No one will believe you.
00:20:03You think this will put me away?
00:20:06I know it will.
00:20:11Mia sends her love.
00:20:16You're gonna regret this!
00:20:21No.
00:20:22I made my mistake five years ago.
00:20:25I waited.
00:20:51ASTOR.
00:20:52He took the bait.
00:20:5350,000.
00:20:54And he mentioned my sister.
00:20:56I heard.
00:20:57The driver had the window cracked.
00:20:59Then you know what happens next.
00:21:01I'll have the divorce papers ready by 9 a.m.
00:21:04And the D.A. will get the new recording.
00:21:07He said no one would believe me.
00:21:11They believe you now, sis.
00:21:29It's done.
00:21:30Victoria has full custody.
00:21:31You'll regret this.
00:21:34I've regretted nothing for five years.
00:21:38I'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...
00:22:07Just...
00:22:07That's called peace.
00:22:10You'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.
00:22:30You saved your own.
00:22:32I just showed you the door.
00:22:34I just showed you the door.
00:22:51Sleep well, my love.
00:23:03One more thing to deal with.
00:23:07Then we're free.
00:23:10Sometimes I forget what it's like to feel the sun on my skin.
00:23:35Come in.
00:23:37I come bearing gifts.
00:23:41I didn't invite you.
00:23:45No.
00:23:46But I was in the neighborhood.
00:23:49You live an hour away.
00:23:51Fine.
00:23:52I wanted to see you.
00:24:13You kept them.
00:24:16They'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.
00:24:30About your sister.
00:24:31I'm sorry.
00:24:32I didn't know.
00:24:33No one knew.
00:24:34That was the point.
00:24:36You've been carrying this alone for five years.
00:24:39I'm used to it.
00:24:49You don't have to anymore.
00:24:52Yes, I do.
00:24:53Until he's in prison, I'm not done.
00:24:59Then let me help.
00:25:02This isn't your fight.
00:25:04It is now.
00:25:07The snow, ten years ago.
00:25:09You saved my life.
00:25:10I never forgot.
00:25:11That was a different life.
00:25:13Maybe.
00:25:13But you're still the same person.
00:25:16The one who stops for strangers.
00:25:18The one who fights for people who can't fight for themselves.
00:25:24I'll wait.
00:25:25However long it takes.
00:25:41We have the settlement agreement, Martha's testimony, and the new recording of Jeffrey's bribe 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.
00:25:58She's not well.
00:25:59Then we need something else.
00:26:00Another victim.
00:26:04I've been looking for five years.
00:26:08I haven't found anyone.
00:26:12What about Victoria?
00:26:14He emotionally abused her.
00:26:16That's a pattern.
00:26:18Whatever you think, how it's 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.
00:26:31Witness treampering.
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.
00:26:44You didn't tell me about the snow.
00:26:46About saving my brother.
00:26:49It wasn't relevant.
00:26:51He'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.
00:27:14I 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.
00:27:27I have to.
00:27:49I found something.
00:27:53What is it?
00:27:59There was another one.
00:28:00Not your sister.
00:28:01A different student.
00:28:03Her name is Sarah.
00:28:07Where is she now?
00:28:08Oregon.
00:28:09She's married.
00:28:10Different name.
00:28:10I have her contact info.
00:28:13The professor was Jeffrey's friend.
00:28:15They covered for each other.
00:28:17Sarah might have information about both.
00:28:21I'll call her.
00:28:45I'll call her.
00:28:48family 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.
00:28:59Mia White, she 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.
00:29:06I've been waiting five years to tell the truth.
00:29:08No 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.
00:30:05He told me no one would believe a starving artist against a billionaire.
00:30:08He was right.
00:30:10No one did.
00:30:12Would you be willing to testify in court?
00:30:16Yes.
00:30:18For Mia.
00:30:19And for every other girl he hurt.
00:30:26With 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.
00:30:34They'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.
00:31:06Sarah was brave.
00:31:07She was.
00:31:09But she shouldn't have had to be.
00:31:10None of them should have.
00:31:13What happens after?
00:31:15When he's in prison?
00:31:18Then I figure out who I am without revenge.
00:31:20You're the same person.
00:31:23You just won't have to carry the weight anymore.
00:31:49You're the same person.
00:31:50You're the same person.
00:31:52I said she's weak.
00:31:53She'll do it.
00:31:53I said she'll do it.
00:31:55You're the same person.
00:31:58You're the same person.
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?
00:32:29He's arrested. He's actually arrested.
00:32:39You missed it. The 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. I needed to see him afraid.
00:32:57Was he?
00:33:00Yes.
00:33:12What are you thinking?
00:33:15I'm thinking I might be able to breathe soon.
00:33:29Bail is set at $5 million.
00:33:32The 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. No bail.
00:33:56Mrs. White, are you the consultant who uncovered the evidence against Jeffrey Winthrop?
00:34:03I'm the consultant who did her job.
00:34:07Is it true your sister is one of his victims?
00:34:12My sister is not a victim. She's a survivor. And she's not on trial. He is.
00:34:29Who's that?
00:34:31Alexander.
00:34:33Why?
00:34:34He makes you smile. I like him.
00:34:40He's...
00:34:41Complicated.
00:34:42Everyone is complicated. You're complicated.
00:34:45That doesn't mean you should be alone.
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:54Always.
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.
00:35:19She can't.
00:35:20She's not ready.
00:35:21I know.
00:35:21I told them that.
00:35:23But they're worried Sarah alone won't be enough.
00:35:25Then find more victims.
00:35:26There have to be more.
00:35:27I'm trying.
00:35:29But these cases are old.
00:35:30People have moved on. They don't want to relive it.
00:35:32Neither does my sister.
00:35:33But she didn't have a choice. Neither do they.
00:35:37There's something else.
00:35:39The private investigator found a woman in Chicago.
00:35:42Same pattern.
00:35:43Mentorship, art funding, then assault.
00:35:46Her name is Lisa.
00:35:48She's willing to talk.
00:35:51I'll call her.
00:35:58Hello?
00:35:59Hello?
00:36:00Lisa?
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.
00:36:12I'll testify.
00:36:13I've been silent for seven years.
00:36:15I'm done.
00:36:16Thank you, Lisa.
00:36:18Don't thank me.
00:36:19Thank 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.
00:36:34You're not alone.
00:36:42Another one, sis.
00:36:44Her name is Lisa.
00:36:46She's going to testify.
00:37:06Thank you for seeing me.
00:37:09Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:13I read about you, about the Winthron case, about your sister.
00:37:19You're not just a consultant.
00:37:21You're a fighter.
00:37:25I'm both.
00:37:27What do you need?
00:37:39Do you have access to his financial records?
00:37:47Some.
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.
00:38:18Finally.
00:38:33Finally.
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.
00:39:28We found another witness, a former employee of the Winthrop Foundation.
00:39:32She handled the payments to the art school.
00:39:34She has emails showing Jeffrey personally approved the settlement.
00:39:37That's direct evidence.
00:39:38It is.
00:39:40Combined with Sarah and Lisa's testimonies, we have enough for a strong case.
00:39:44But we still need to address the defense's likely strategy.
00:39:47They'll attack the victim's credibility.
00:39:50Especially your sister's, given her medical history.
00:39:52Then we put a psychologist on the stand.
00:39:55Explain that trauma doesn't look the same for everyone.
00:39:57That her bake-down is evidence of what he did, not against it.
00:40:03You've thought about this a lot.
00:40:06For five years.
00:40:08I'll assign a victim advocate to work with your sister.
00:40:10Just to see if she's willing to give a deposition.
00:40:12Not in court.
00:40:13Just on video.
00:40:14That way the jury can see her without her having to face Jeffrey.
00:40:21I'll ask her.
00:40:28The DA wants to talk to you.
00:40:30On video.
00:40:32You don't have to go to court.
00:40:34Just answer questions.
00:40:36Tell your story.
00:40:40Will he see it?
00:40:41His lawyers will.
00:40:43But not him directly.
00:40:44Not in person.
00:40:48I'll do it.
00:40:49For you.
00:40:51And for the other girls.
00:40:56You don't have to do this for me.
00:40:58I know.
00:41:00I'm doing it for me.
00:41:11I heard she agreed.
00:41:13Yes.
00:41:15That's brave.
00:41:17She's always been brave.
00:41:19I just forgot.
00:41:20Ella.
00:41:21When this is over.
00:41:23When he's in prison, what then?
00:41:25I told you.
00:41:26I don't know.
00:41:27Then figure it out.
00:41:29But don't push me away while you do.
00:41:33I'm not pushing you away.
00:41:35You're not letting me in either.
00:41:40I'm trying.
00:41:46Try harder.
00:42:02Mia, can you tell us what happened five years ago?
00:42:08He came to the art school.
00:42:10He said he wanted to support young artists.
00:42:14He said I was talented.
00:42:16Special.
00:42:18He invited me to his house.
00:42:20For mentoring.
00:42:22I went.
00:42:23I was 18.
00:42:24I thought he was helping me.
00:42:26He locked the door.
00:42:27He said no one would believe me.
00:42:29He said I was nobody.
00:42:31He was wrong.
00:42:32Why are you coming forward now?
00:42:36Because my sister never stopped believing me.
00:42:41And because I'm not nobody.
00:42:43He said no one would believe me.
00:42:57You did it.
00:43:00I did it.
00:43:02Now go.
00:43:03Finish the rest.
00:43:10I will.
00:43:17The evidence is insufficient.
00:43:20The alleged victims have questionable motives.
00:43:23Denied.
00:43:24The case will proceed to trial.
00:43:26Trial date set for six weeks from today.
00:43:39See you in hell.
00:43:45Six weeks until trial.
00:43:47Six weeks to find more evidence.
00:43:51You've done enough.
00:43:53There's never enough.
00:43:55Not until he's convicted.
00:43:58And after conviction?
00:43:59What then?
00:44:02Then I breathe.
00:44:03I'm not going anywhere.
00:44:25You look tired.
00:44:27I'm fine.
00:44:36His face.
00:44:39I don't want to see it again.
00:44:41You won't.
00:44:42You don't have to go to court.
00:44:44I know.
00:44:47But I still see it.
00:44:48In my head.
00:44:52After the trial,
00:44:53we'll find you a therapist.
00:44:55Someone who specializes in trauma.
00:44:57You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
00:45:08Then let's finish this.
00:45:16This can wait.
00:45:17The will case isn't urgent.
00:45:19Jeffrey's trial is.
00:45:26The jade pendant.
00:45:28This is the one you gave me?
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:32Charles put it in the will
00:45:33as a way to find you.
00:45:35He knew I'd been looking.
00:45:36I don't want anything from your family.
00:45:38I 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.
00:45:47But not for me.
00:45:48For Charles.
00:45:49He sounds like he was a good man.
00:45:56He was.
00:46:10Alexander.
00:46:12Why are you helping me?
00:46:13With Jeffrey, I mean.
00:46:15This isn't your fight.
00:46:16You asked me that before.
00:46:18I told you.
00:46:19It is now.
00:46:19That's not an answer.
00:46:22Because I watched you sit on the floor
00:46:24with my sister
00:46:24when everyone else was afraid of her.
00:46:28Because you took on a billionaire
00:46:30with nothing but a laptop
00:46:31and a voice recorder.
00:46:33Because you've been fighting
00:46:35for five years
00:46:35for someone who can't fight
00:46:37for 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.
00:46:45I'm not good at this.
00:46:47I 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.
00:47:22But he believed in finding you.
00:47:25He said the world
00:47:26needs more people like you.
00:47:28People who stop for strangers.
00:47:39Look at this.
00:47:45Robert and Jeffrey
00:47:46knew each other?
00:47:47If Robert was connected
00:47:48to Jeffrey
00:47:49then the will case
00:47:50isn't separate.
00:47:51It's connected to everything.
00:47:53You think Jeffrey
00:47:54helped 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
00:48:08who doesn't stop
00:48:09until she finds the truth.
00:48:11That's what scares me
00:48:12about you.
00:48:14Why?
00:48:15Because you might
00:48:15burn yourself out
00:48:16before you let anyone help.
00:48:22I'm trying.
00:48:24Like I said.
00:48:25I know.
00:48:32We have three victims
00:48:33willing to testify.
00:48:34We have financial record,
00:48:36Martha's testimony,
00:48:37and we have
00:48:37Mia's video deposition.
00:48:39The defense will try
00:48:40try to discredit the victims,
00:48:42especially given
00:48:42Mia's mental health history.
00:48:44But our expert psychologist
00:48:45will explain that
00:48:46trauma-induced breakdowns
00:48:47are not evidence of lying.
00:48:49What about the connection
00:48:50to Robert Astor
00:48:51and the will forgery?
00:48:54That's a separate case.
00:48:55But if you have evidence,
00:48:57we can use it
00:48:58to show a pattern of corruption.
00:49:02I'm working on it.
00:49:08I'm working on it.
00:49:10Not so deep.
00:49:12The roots need room.
00:49:14Like this?
00:49:16Better.
00:49:21You're smiling.
00:49:24No, I'm not.
00:49:26Yes, you are.
00:49:33I talked to Nicholas.
00:49:34He's assigning a forensic accountant
00:49:36to look into Robert's connections
00:49:37with Jeffrey.
00:49:38If there's a paper trail,
00:49:39we'll find it.
00:49:40Thank you
00:49:41for believing me.
00:49:43I always did.
00:49:45Even when I didn't know
00:49:46the whole story.
00:49:47I'm scared of what comes after.
00:49:49After what?
00:49:50After the trial.
00:49:52When I don't have
00:49:53a mission anymore.
00:49:54I've been fighting
00:49:55for so long.
00:49:56I don't know
00:49:57who I am without it.
00:49:59You're Ella.
00:50:00The woman who saved my life
00:50:01in a snowstorm.
00:50:02Who sits on the floor
00:50:03with strangers.
00:50:04Who plants sunflowers
00:50:05for her sister.
00:50:06That's who you are.
00:50:07The fight doesn't define you.
00:50:08You define the fight.
00:50:11You don't have to
00:50:11figure it out alone.
00:50:21This case is about power.
00:50:23About a man who used money,
00:50:25influence,
00:50:26and fear
00:50:27to silence his victims.
00:50:30Over seven years,
00:50:31three women,
00:50:32and likely more,
00:50:33were assaulted
00:50:34by the defendant.
00:50:36We will prove
00:50:37that Jeffrey Wintherd
00:50:38is not a philanthropist.
00:50:40He is a predator.
00:50:42The prosecution's case
00:50:43rests on the word
00:50:45of women
00:50:45with questionable motives.
00:50:47One has a diagnosed
00:50:48mental illness.
00:50:49Another waited
00:50:50seven years.
00:50:52These are not
00:50:53reliable witnesses.
00:50:55Not now.
00:50:56Trust the process.
00:50:58Why now?
00:50:59Why come forward
00:51:00after seven years?
00:51:03Because I saw
00:51:04another woman
00:51:04come forward.
00:51:06Mia White.
00:51:08She was brave enough
00:51:09to speak.
00:51:10I decided to be brave too.
00:51:15So you're motivated
00:51:16by media attention?
00:51:18I'm motivated
00:51:19by justice.
00:51:24So you're motivated
00:51:26by media attention?
00:51:29He said he would
00:51:29make me disappear
00:51:30from the art world
00:51:31if I told anyone.
00:51:35I believed him.
00:51:37You settled
00:51:38with the school.
00:51:38You took money.
00:51:40Doesn't that make you
00:51:40a liar?
00:51:42It makes me someone
00:51:43who was scared
00:51:44and broke.
00:51:48But I'm not scared
00:51:49anymore.
00:51:57I heard on the news
00:51:59Sarah and Lisa
00:52:00they were brave.
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:05They were.
00:52:07Do you think
00:52:08I'm brave?
00:52:10You're the bravest
00:52:11person I know.
00:52:12Then why do I still
00:52:12feel so small?
00:52:14Because he made you
00:52:15feel 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.
00:52:25No.
00:52:28No.
00:52:29No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:31No.
00:52:32No.
00:52:33No.
00:52:34No.
00:52:34No.
00:52:36No.
00:52:44He said no one
00:52:45would believe me.
00:52:46He said I was
00:52:47nobody.
00:52:48He was wrong.
00:53:05Objection,
00:53:06Your Honor.
00:53:06This is prejudicious.
00:53:08Overruled.
00:53:09Sit down.
00:53:10Mia.
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop,
00:53:23did you ever
00:53:23assault any of
00:53:24these women?
00:53:26Never.
00:53:28They're liars.
00:53:29Every one of them.
00:53:31Mr. Winthrop,
00:53:32did you pay the
00:53:32art school
00:53:33to silence
00:53:34to silence Mia White?
00:53:35I donated to the
00:53:36school.
00:53:36That's not a crime.
00:53:37Did you personally
00:53:38approve the
00:53:38settlement agreement?
00:53:41I don't recall.
00:53:45Settlement agreement
00:53:45signed by
00:53:46Jeffrey Winthross.
00:53:47This is your
00:53:48signature, isn't it?
00:53:50I...
00:53:51It was handled
00:53:51by my lawyers.
00:53:52So you don't deny
00:53:53it's your signature?
00:53:54Yes, that's my
00:53:55signature.
00:53:56But it doesn't mean
00:53:56what she says it means.
00:53:58Then what does it mean?
00:54:13He's lying.
00:54:14Everyone can see it.
00:54:17It doesn't matter.
00:54:19The jury needs
00:54:19to believe us.
00:54:21They will.
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:25Because I believe you.
00:54:27And I'm not the only one.
00:54:30Alexander.
00:54:31Yeah?
00:54:33After this is over,
00:54:34I'd like to try.
00:54:36Not maybe.
00:54:37Try.
00:54:40I've been ready
00:54:41since the first day
00:54:42you walked into my garden.
00:54:55I'm not the only one.
00:55:08You should eat something.
00:55:11Not hungry.
00:55:12Ella.
00:55:13Whatever happens,
00:55:14you've already won.
00:55:15You made him stand trial.
00:55:17You made the world
00:55:18see who he is.
00:55:19Winning is a conviction.
00:55:20Anything less
00:55:20is just an expensive
00:55:21therapy session.
00:55:22No matter what,
00:55:23you're not alone anymore.
00:55:24The jury has reached
00:55:26a verdict.
00:55:38Have you reached
