Short filmTranscript
00:00Derek's lawyer called.
00:05What did he want?
00:09Derek wants to see me.
00:12Before he's transferred to federal prison.
00:17Are you going?
00:18I don't know.
00:22He's my brother.
00:25But he sold me out.
00:26He sold national security secrets.
00:29You can visit him without forgiving him.
00:36You don't owe him anything.
00:39But if you go,
00:41go for yourself.
00:43Not for him.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:54For everything.
00:55The rumors.
00:57The sabotage.
00:59The night I almost caught you in dad's study.
01:01You almost blew a five-year FBI investigation.
01:04I know.
01:05I was angry.
01:06At dad.
01:07At the family.
01:09At you for being better at being me than I ever was.
01:13I'm not asking for forgiveness.
01:16I don't deserve it.
01:18What are you asking for?
01:20Nothing.
01:20I just wanted to say it to your face.
01:22I moved to New Jersey.
01:23I'm a teacher's assistant at a preschool.
01:25It's not glamorous.
01:26But I'm not hurting anyone.
01:29The man I killed.
01:31Michael.
01:31I send money to his widow every month.
01:34Anonymously.
01:35That doesn't bring him back.
01:36No.
01:38But it's something.
01:42I won't forgive you, Courtney.
01:44But I won't destroy you either.
01:46That's not my job.
01:49Be better.
01:51Not for me.
01:52For the people you still have a chance not to hurt.
02:02How was Courtney?
02:03Sad.
02:04Trying.
02:05Not there yet.
02:07You gave her a chance.
02:08I gave her a direction.
02:10What she does with it is up to her.
02:15I decided I'm not going to see Derek.
02:19Why?
02:20Because I don't need closure from him.
02:22I need peace from myself.
02:25And I can find that here.
02:27Good choice.
02:29You're biased.
02:30I'm your wife.
02:31Being biased is in the contract.
02:35There's no contract anymore.
02:39Exactly.
03:07Are you?
03:09I'm pregnant.
03:12Pregnant?
03:13You're...
03:14We're...
03:15I'm going to be a...
03:17A father.
03:18Yes.
03:19Catherine!
03:21Put me down.
03:23I'm fine.
03:26High in there.
03:32You're going to be a great dad.
03:38You think?
03:41I know.
03:45This year, we helped 437 young people escape forced marriage, domestic coerasion, and financial
03:54abuse.
03:54Next year, we double that.
03:59To do that, I'm making a change.
04:01Mia at 2.
04:03My assistant will take over daily operations starting next month.
04:07Because I need to step back for a while.
04:09Well...
04:09I'm going to have a baby.
04:11Oh!
04:12Oh!
04:27Have you thought about names?
04:30If it's a girl, Margaret.
04:32After my grandmother.
04:33And if it's a boy.
04:39Michael.
04:40Michael?
04:41Who's Michael?
04:42The man Courtney killed.
04:43The one she sends money to.
04:45I want him to be remembered.
04:47And I want our son, if we have one, to grow up knowing that every life matters.
04:53Michael Thorne.
04:54It's a good name.
05:00Alex, wake up.
05:04What's wrong?
05:06The baby.
05:08It's time.
05:11I'll call 911.
05:13The nearest hospital is 30 minutes.
05:16I won't make it.
05:19Okay.
05:21Okay.
05:22I can do this.
05:24I can do this.
05:36Catherine, listen to me.
05:38I did combat medic training in the agency.
05:40I've delivered a baby.
05:43Once, on a training exercise, it was a dummy.
05:45Not helping.
05:47You're right.
05:48You're right.
05:49You're the toughest person I know.
05:52You've faced killers.
05:54You can face this.
05:57Don't let go.
06:00Never.
06:07Just breathe.
06:16It's a boy.
06:24Hello, Michael.
06:28You did it.
06:30We did it.
06:37Welcome to the world, Michael Thorne.
06:41My mind needs a husband to kiss me.
06:45He looks like you.
06:47He looks like a potato.
06:49A handsome potato.
06:51Don't make me laugh.
06:52It hurts.
06:53Sorry.
06:59I love you both.
07:01We love you, too.
07:06Morning, Mia.
07:07Morning, Mia.
07:22What is it?
07:26Nothing.
07:27Junk mail.
07:29What is it?
07:37Nothing.
07:39You've been quiet all evening.
07:42I got something today.
07:44Another threat.
07:48Tell me.
07:50This was taken across the street from the hospital.
07:54They've been watching you.
07:56I'm increasing security at the farm.
07:58And at the foundation.
08:00No.
08:01If I turn the foundation into a fortress,
08:04the girls who need help won't come.
08:07And if they come for Michael?
08:15They won't touch him.
08:17You can't know that.
08:19Then we find them before they find us.
08:24Davis still has context.
08:26We track them.
08:27We finish this.
08:29Together.
08:31Together.
08:38Mama's not going to let anyone hurt you.
08:44Richard's suing the foundation.
08:46Two million.
08:47The lawsuit?
08:48It's a distraction.
08:51From what?
08:53Volkov's people.
08:55They're still out there.
08:57Then we deal with both.
09:01Mrs. Winthrop.
09:03You admit you assumed a false identity
09:05to infiltrate the Winthrop family?
09:07I admit I served as an undercover FBI agent
09:10on a lawful mission.
09:12And you don't think that deception taints
09:15the assets your foundation now controls?
09:20Your Honor, may I?
09:25This is the federal freeze order.
09:27Every asset my foundation manages
09:29was frozen by court order
09:30before I ever touched them.
09:32It's a complete independent audit.
09:34Every dollar is accounted for.
09:35Your client's lawsuit has no evidence.
09:38Because there is no evidence.
09:39The deception itself...
09:41Counsel, do you have any evidence
09:43that the plaintiff has standing
09:45or that any asset was improperly taken?
09:48We have the testimony of Richard Winthrop.
09:51Richard Winthrop is a convicted felon
09:53awaiting sentencing.
09:55His testimony is not admissible in this court
09:57without corroboration.
09:59Do you have corroboration?
10:02I'm dismissing this case with prejudice.
10:04Legal fees are to be paid by the plaintiff.
10:08You just made that lawyer cry.
10:10He made himself cry.
10:16I'm proud of you.
10:17Michael, mommy just beat a bad man in court.
10:23That's right.
10:24Applause.
10:31He's got a strong grip.
10:34FBI material.
10:41He's going to be an artist.
10:44He can be both.
10:45I was.
10:46You were never an artist.
10:48I drew an excellent stick figure in Quantico.
10:50You not son to go?
10:52Laughter.
10:54Laughter.
10:57Laughter.
11:04You're different.
11:06Different how?
11:07You've changed.
11:08Still tough, but less like you're waiting to punch someone.
11:14Now I have something to protect.
11:17It's different.
11:20Better?
11:21Better.
11:25I'm heading back to Florida tomorrow.
11:27Real fishing this time,
11:28not dry waving a pole on your lawn.
11:31Send pictures.
11:32Only if you send drawings.
11:36Deal.
11:40You did good, Wild.
11:43We did good.
11:46We did good.
11:55He's sleeping.
11:58Finally.
12:02I talked to Derek's lawyer today.
12:04I didn't tell you earlier because I didn't want to ruin the party.
12:07What did he say?
12:09Derek asked again.
12:11To see me.
12:13He wrote a letter.
12:15What does the letter say?
12:17He apologized.
12:19Said he was wrong.
12:20Said he wants to know his nephew.
12:21Are you going to write back?
12:23Yes.
12:24But not because he deserves it.
12:26Because Michael deserves to know he had an uncle.
12:28Even a flawed one.
12:30That's generous.
12:31That's what you taught me.
12:35I didn't teach you anything.
12:37You were already good.
12:38I was just less bad.
12:41This is home.
12:43Yes.
12:43It is.
12:59Tonight, I'm proud to announce that the Margaret Winthrow Foundation
13:04is establishing a national legal aid network.
13:09Free Attorneys for Minors Facing Forced Marriage and Domestic Coercion.
13:15But I didn't build this foundation alone.
13:17There's one person who never stopped believing in me,
13:20even when I was living a lie.
13:21Davis.
13:22My handler.
13:23My teacher.
13:24My friend.
13:25Five years undercover, so in my ear,
13:26he was the only one who knew who I really was.
13:28Without him, I wouldn't be standing here.
13:30To Davis.
13:32To Davis.
13:45You disappeared.
13:47I don't like being the center of attention.
13:50You spent 35 years in the FBI.
13:52You were never the center of attention.
13:54That was the job.
13:55You made me cry in front of 400 people.
13:57Good.
13:58You deserve to be seen.
14:00I'm retiring.
14:01For real this time.
14:03Florida.
14:03A boat.
14:04No more cases.
14:04You'll be bored in a month.
14:06Then I'll come back and bother you.
14:07I'd like that.
14:08You were the best one wild.
14:10The best one I ever had.
14:11You taught me everything.
14:13Take care of yourself.
14:14I'll be in touch.
14:20And Catherine, don't stop creating.
14:31Bolov's people, they're done.
14:32All of them.
14:34All of them?
14:35FBI swept the last cell last night.
14:37Petrov's network is dust.
14:38You're safe.
14:39Michael's safe.
14:40Took you long enough.
14:41You're welcome.
14:42Thanks, Davis.
14:43Don't thank me.
14:44Just keep painting.
14:46You look like you've seen a ghost.
14:48From Derek.
14:49Read it to me.
14:50Alexander, I've been inside two years now.
14:52Every day I think about how I got here.
14:54The answer is simple.
14:54I was greedy.
14:55I told myself it's just business.
14:57But it was betrayal.
14:58Of you.
14:58Of our family.
14:59Of everything our father taught us.
15:02I'm not asking for forgiveness.
15:03I know I don't deserve it.
15:04But I want you to know I'm sorry.
15:06Truly.
15:06And I'd like to know my nephew's name.
15:08If you'll tell me.
15:08Derek.
15:09What are you gonna do?
15:10He's my brother.
15:11He's also the man who sold your technology to the wrong people.
15:13But I can tell him his nephew's name?
15:15That's fair.
15:27Do you think Derek will ever get out and try to find us?
15:30He'll be out in eight years with good behavior.
15:32Michael will be almost nine.
15:33What do I tell Michael about him?
15:35The truth.
15:35That his uncle made bad choices.
15:37But that he's still family.
15:39And family is complicated.
15:40When he's old enough you can let him decide if he wants to meet Derek.
15:43You always have an answer.
15:44No.
15:45I just have opinions.
15:46You have the final say.
15:48I married the right woman.
15:50Yes you did.
15:51That's the son buddy.
15:53It comes back every morning.
15:55Like us.
15:59Mama.
16:00Where are we?
16:01London.
16:02Where Mama used to live.
16:05Before Daddy?
16:08Before Daddy.
16:11Before Daddy was lucky.
16:23Mama, these are scary.
16:25Mama was sad when she painted these.
16:28Why were you sad?
16:31Because I was pretending to be someone I wasn't.
16:36But you're not sad now?
16:39Now I have you and Daddy.
16:41So I paint happy things.
16:48I want to draw!
16:53That's Daddy!
16:55My head is not that big.
16:57Yes it is.
16:57Yes it is!
16:58You two are impossible.
17:00You love us.
17:01Unfortunately, yes.
17:05I never thought I'd have this.
17:06Have what?
17:07A wall with bad drawings on it.
17:09A family.
17:10A future.
17:11It's not the future I planned.
17:13It's better.
17:13Mama, is this where you painted the sad pictures?
17:16No.
17:17I painted those in a room with no windows.
17:19That's sad.
17:20It was.
17:21But now, look.
17:23This is what I paint now.
17:25The lights?
17:25It's the feeling.
17:27The feeling of being free.
17:28Ready to go home?
17:30I am home.
17:32Anywhere with you two.
17:33Daddy, can we get ice cream?
17:35It's nine o'clock at night.
17:37Please?
17:38One scoop.
17:39Yes!
17:41Yes!
17:57Davis is here.
18:02I caught a fish this big!
18:05That's a lie!
18:06It's not a lie.
18:08It's an exaggeration.
18:09What's the difference?
18:11About 18 inches.
18:12You gotta go with the grain, see?
18:14Not against it.
18:15Like an art class?
18:16Exactly.
18:17Your mom teach you that?
18:18Yeah.
18:18She says wood is like people.
18:20If you push the wrong way, it splinters.
18:22Your mom is a very smart woman.
18:24I know.
18:24She also draws skeletons.
18:26She does.
18:31Mama, what are you painting?
18:35Us.
18:39Where's Davis?
18:41Davis is taking the picture.
18:43Oh!
18:44Can I paint something too?
18:45Always.
18:50Dinner in 20 minutes.
18:52I love this.
18:54Me too.
18:58I moan not find it just a talking rat, an endostelial.
19:06Everyone, picture.
19:09Now.
19:16One, two, three.
19:18That's a keeper.
19:19Print it.
19:20For the album.
19:21What album?
19:22The one with the empty last page.
19:24I think we just filled it.
19:33This is what freedom feels like.
19:36Yeah?
19:37Yeah.
19:48It's like watching a life rebuild itself.
19:51From darkness to light.
19:57Mrs. Thorne, your work changed completely over the past decade.
20:01From dark, almost violent imagery to this, light, warmth.
20:05What caused that shift?
20:07I stopped lying.
20:08Lying?
20:09Those were my truth then.
20:10Now, this is my truth.
20:12And the title of the exhibition, Free.
20:14Does that mean you feel free?
20:15It means I finally stopped running.
20:26Do you like it?
20:31You drew me.
20:32You fished on my lawn for three years.
20:35I had plenty of reference.
20:39This is...
20:40I don't know what to say.
20:41You don't have to say anything.
20:42Just take it.
20:43It's yours.
20:44Wild!
20:45Shut up and take the painting, Davis.
20:48You were the best one.
20:50You taught me everything.
20:55I'm going to go cry in the bathroom now.
20:58There's a line.
20:59This is London.
21:01Everyone cries at art openings.
21:16The critics love you.
21:19The critics can buy a painting or leave me alone.
21:22Same, Catherine.
21:27In that room.
21:29Five years ago, when I was painting a skeleton and pretending to be someone I wasn't.
21:36That's all I ever needed.
21:38Someone to see me.
21:41Mama, can we go home now?
21:47Soon, baby.
21:57Alright, let's go!
22:01Let's get to learn the Alejandro Hart.
22:02Come on
22:04and let's go.
22:05Let's go.
22:18Wild, you're still annoying.
