"Mensonges Blancs" est une série complète de short drama en français qui explore le venin des apparences trompeuses, la trahison d'une élite sociale qui a bâti sa fortune sur des secrets inavouables, et une vengeance magistrale qui prouve que même les mensonges les plus impeccables finissent par se retourner contre leurs architectes. L'histoire suit une protagoniste qui, après avoir découvert que tout son entourage a construit sa vie sur une série de "mensonges blancs" destinés à la tenir dans l'ignorance et à la dépouiller de son héritage, décide de transformer leur hypocrisie en leur propre chute. Ses agresseurs — arrogants, cruels et calculateurs — ont cru que leur mise en scène était parfaite, sous-estimant la tempête de feu qu'elle cultivait alors qu'elle se préparait à démanteler leur faux empire de l'intérieur.

Mais un sourire glacial et d'une clarté absolue se dessine sur le visage de la protagoniste lorsqu'elle comprend que ses ennemis ont commis l'erreur de leur vie en pensant pouvoir cacher la vérité derrière un masque de politesse. Abandonnant sa façade de femme confiante et naïve, elle libère un potentiel terrifiant que personne n'avait vu venir, se révélant comme la brillante stratège qui a opéré dans l'ombre pour garantir que l'ordre corporatif bâti sur ses illusions s'effondre totalement. Le monde de l'élite panique lorsque, avec une froideur absolue, elle commence à démanteler les domaines de ceux qui ont tenté de l'enchaîner, exposant leurs fraudes, leurs alliances secrètes et réclamant avec fermeté le contrôle total des actifs qu'ils avaient usurpés sous de faux prétextes.

Le sommet de la tension asphyxiante éclate lors de la réception annuelle de l'élite, le lieu où ses bourreaux planifiaient de sceller leur emprise sur ses biens. La terreur la plus paralysante consume les conspirateurs lorsque les immenses portes s'ouvrent et que la femme qu'ils avaient tentée d'effacer de la carte fait une entrée triomphale en tant qu'unique propriétaire légitime et actionnaire majoritaire de chaque actif soutenant leur faux prestige. En révélant des preuves irréfutables de leurs trahisons et de la fausseté qui maintenait leurs vies à flot, la vérité les frappe comme un ouragan. Obligés de ramper à ses pieds, suppliant pour une miséricorde qui n'existe tout simplement pas, ils comprennent enfin le coût d'avoir sous-estimé la femme qui, ayant percé à jour tous leurs "Mensonges Blancs", a réclamé son trône avec une justice implacable.

00:01:10Every 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
00:01:27Interesting. 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
00:01:50Welcome aboard, Mrs. White. Thank you
00:01:56Jeffrey, I'm inside
00:02:05They say it's just hormones. Post-portum
00:02:11It's not
00:02:16How 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
00:02:35Victoria
00:02:37Did Jeffrey ever hurt someone else? Someone who wasn't you?
00:02:42What do you mean?
00:02:43Before you
00:02:44Was 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
00:02:54She accused him of something
00:02:56Then she dropped out
00:02:57He said she was lying
00:02:59What was her name?
00:03:01I don't remember
00:03:02It was before we got married
00:03:03He said she was unstable
00:03:12Unstable, right?
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
00:04:32My thoughts were gone
00:04:33Because
00:04:39Ms. White
00:04:40A word
00:04:43I understand
00:04:44Right
00:04:46You're pushing her too hard
00:04:48She's fragile
00:04:49She's not fragile
00:04:51She's been gaslifted 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
00:05:02What 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
00:05:09Maybe longer than you know
00:05:12What are you implying?
00:05:13Not 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
00:05:25But nothing like this
00:05:33That 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
00:05:55I'm inside his house
00:05:58I'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
00:06:14She was fired from her last job
00:06:16Some family in Connecticut
00:06:18Officially it was professional misconduct
00:06:20Off the record
00:06:21The family's son was abusing his wife
00:06:23White reported it
00:06:24They protected the son
00:06:26Buried her
00:06:26What'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
00:06:37From 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
00:06:43Don't dig further
00:06:45Not yet
00:06:46But keep this between us
00:06:48Understood
00:06:54Ella 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
00:07:07Welcome to the team, dear
00:07:12Thank you so much for coming
00:07:26Three
00:07:28Seven
00:07:38You're playing a dangerous game
00:07:40I don't play games, Mr. Wendethow
00:07:42I solve problems
00:07:45Whose problems?
00:07:47All of them
00:07:48Even the old ones
00:07:51What old ones?
00:07:52Five years ago
00:07:53An 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
00:08:40What happened that night
00:08:41The snow
00:08:43Nothing to tell
00:08:44You'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?
00:08:59I'm inside his house right now
00:09:01Working for his wife
00:09:03Be careful
00:09:05He's dangerous
00:09:05So am I
00:09:07I love you
00:09:21He's a monster
00:09:23Not the hitting kind
00:09:25The smart kind
00:09:27Did he ever hurt anyone else?
00:09:29Before Victoria?
00:09:31Victoria?
00:09:34There was a girl
00:09:35Years ago
00:09:36A student
00:09:37She came to the house once
00:09:39Crying
00:09:39Jeffrey locked the door
00:09:40And talked to her
00:09:41When she left
00:09:42She 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
00:09:47Screaming at Jeffrey
00:09:48In the driveway
00:09:49He called the cops on her
00:09:51What happened to the sister?
00:09:53Nothing
00:09:53The cops told her to leave
00:09:55She did
00:09:58But she looked at Jeffrey
00:09:59Like she wanted to kill him
00:10:03Thank you Martha
00:10:04This is enough
00:10:13Bastard
00:10:14I don't just get women out
00:10:15I make sure the bastards
00:10:17Never 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
00:10:30Help them leave
00:10:31I help them make sure
00:10:32It 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
00:10:41If you're after something personal
00:10:43You 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
00:11:09About a girl
00:11:10Years 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
00:11:16Who lied about him
00:11:17Tried 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
00:11:36Three things
00:11:37Can you do that?
00:11:40Yes
00:11:41Good
00:11:42Ella?
00:11:47Who was she?
00:11:48The girl?
00:11:52My sister
00:12:04I did what you asked
00:12:07I looked into Jeffrey's past
00:12:09Five years ago
00:12:10An art student accused him
00:12:11Of sexual assault
00:12:12The school settled
00:12:13The student dropped out
00:12:14No police report
00:12:16No charges
00:12:16And the student's name?
00:12:21Mia White
00:12:29Your sister
00:12:32Yes
00:12:36You didn't come here
00:12:37To help Victoria
00:12:39You came here
00:12:40To destroy Jeffrey
00:12:42I came here
00:12:42To do both
00:12:44They're the same thing
00:12:46You should have told me
00:12:49Would you have hired me
00:12:50If I had?
00:12:55No
00:12:58That's why I didn't
00:13:04The family meeting
00:13:05Is at 9am
00:13:06Get Victoria ready
00:13:07We'll deal with
00:13:08Jeffrey's past later
00:13:09There's no later
00:13:10I have a witness
00:13:11Martha
00:13:11She saw my sister
00:13:13At the house
00:13:13She heard Jeffrey
00:13:14Threaten her
00:13:15She'll testify
00:13:18You've been planning
00:13:19This for five years
00:13:22Five years
00:13:23Two months
00:13:24And eleven days
00:13:28Low
00:13:40I admit
00:13:41Tomorrow sis
00:13:43Tomorrow he starts to fall
00:13:46Because my client
00:13:47Needed me on her side
00:14:00We're requesting
00:14:01Supervised visitation
00:14:02Mrs. Winthrow's
00:14:04Recent behavior
00:14:05Suggests
00:14:06I did not
00:14:07Push Daisy
00:14:09You paid nannies
00:14:10To lie about me
00:14:12And I will not
00:14:13Give up custody
00:14:15This is ridiculous
00:14:16Something my curse says
00:14:18But only an hour
00:14:19Except for hun
00:14:19For the problem
00:14:20First toilet
00:14:20Is when Annie's audit
00:14:22Before we go further
00:14:25She looked at Jeffrey
00:14:26Like she wanted
00:14:27To kill him
00:14:27He locked the door
00:14:29Talked to her
00:14:31When she left
00:14:32She 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
00:14:48An art student
00:14:49Accused you
00:14:50Of sexual assault
00:14:51Her name
00:14:52Was Mia White
00:14:54She dropped out
00:14:55After the school
00:14:56Settled
00:14:57You paid them
00:14:58To make it go away
00:14:59This is relevant
00:15:01To the custody case
00:15:02It's relevant
00:15:02To everything
00:15:03We're not just here
00:15:04About custody anymore
00:15:06We're here about
00:15:07Whether a predator
00:15:08Has been sitting
00:15:09At my family's table
00:15:10For five years
00:15:13You believe her
00:15:15She's a stranger
00:15:16She's using you
00:15:18I believe her
00:15:19Because I know
00:15:21What you did to me
00:15:22And now I know
00:15:23You did it to others
00:15:37You just blew up
00:15:38The family
00:15:39The press will be
00:15:40All over this
00:15:41Good
00:15:41Let them
00:15:43Jeffrey Winthrop
00:15:44Should be in prison
00:15:45Not at board meetings
00:15:46And your sister
00:15:47Is she ready
00:15:47To 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
00:15:54Is enough to start
00:15:55A criminal investigation
00:16:00You've been playing chess
00:16:01While the rest of us
00:16:01Played 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
00:16:19The divorce papers
00:16:20Full custody to Victoria
00:16:22No contest
00:16:25But he wants immunity
00:16:26On the old case
00:16:28No
00:16:29If we push the old case
00:16:31He'll fight
00:16:32It could take years
00:16:34Victoria needs this
00:16:35To end now
00:16:38I didn't come this far
00:16:39To let him walk
00:16:44I'm not asking you
00:16:45To let him walk
00:16:46I'm asking you
00:16:46To let the criminal
00:16:47Justice system
00:16:48Handle it
00:16:48We give the evidence
00:16:49To the DA
00:16:50They investigate
00:16:50He goes to prison
00:16:52But Victoria gets
00:16:53Her divorce now
00:16:55Fine
00:16:56But I want to be
00:16:57The one who hands
00:16:57The evidence to the DA
00:16:59Done
00:17:04Nicholas told me
00:17:07About your sister
00:17:16I'm sorry
00:17:17I didn't tell you sooner
00:17:18You don't have to
00:17:19Apologize
00:17:22He hurt her
00:17:24He hurt me
00:17:25You're trying to stop him
00:17:27That's more than
00:17:28Than anyone else ever did
00:17:31For your sister's care
00:17:33And for your new company
00:17:34Take it
00:17:42Thank you, Victoria
00:17:45No
00:17:46Thank you
00:17:47For believing me
00:17:48And for believing her
00:17:55You're going to be okay, Victoria
00:17:56I know
00:17:58I know
00:18:35For you, Mia
00:18:37When these bloom
00:18:38He'll be in prison
00:18:48The settlement agreement
00:18:49Is enough to open
00:18:50An investigation
00:18:51But without your sister's
00:18:52Testimony
00:18:53It's weak
00:18:54I have a witness
00:18:55Martha
00:18:56The former nanny
00:18:57She heard Jeffrey
00:18:58Threaten my sister
00:18:59And she saw my sister
00:19:01At the house
00:19:02Distraught
00:19:02That's corroborating evidence
00:19:04But not enough
00:19:05For a conviction
00:19:06We need more
00:19:07Then find more
00:19:09I've given you
00:19:10Everything I have
00:19:12You've been waiting
00:19:13Five years for this
00:19:14Five years
00:19:15Two months
00:19:16And eighteen 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
00:19:28Fifty thousand dollars
00:19:29Right now
00:19:31In cash
00:19:32You walk away
00:19:34No one gets hurt
00:19:35You're offering me a bribe
00:19:37I'm offering you a choice
00:19:38Take the money
00:19:40Leave the city
00:19:41Forget you ever knew my name
00:19:46And if I don't
00:19:47Then I'll destroy you
00:19:50Your sister's medical records
00:19:52Will be all over the internet
00:19:53Every breakdown
00:19:54Every diagnosis
00:19:56She'll be a laughing stock
00:19:58No one will believe her
00:19:59No 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
00:20:23Five years ago
00:20:24I waited
00:20:51Astor
00:20:52He took the bait
00:20:53Fifty thousand
00:20:54And he mentioned my sister
00:20:55I heard
00:20:56The driver had the window cracked
00:20:58Then you know what happens next
00:21:01I'll have the divorce papers ready by nine a.m.
00:21:03And 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
00:21:29Victoria has full custody
00:21:31You'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
00:21:59Feel what?
00:22:01Nothing
00:22:02No anger
00:22:03No fear
00:22:05Just
00:22:07That's called peace
00:22:09You'll get used to it
00:22:17For your sister
00:22:18And 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
00:23:35Come 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
00:24:15They'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
00:24:35You've been carrying this alone for five years
00:24:39I'm used to it
00:24:48You don't have to anymore
00:24:52Yes I do
00:24:53Until he's in prison
00:24:54I'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
00:25:07Ten years ago
00:25:08You 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
00:25:19Who can't fight for themselves
00:25:23I'll wait
00:25:24However long it takes
00:25:42We 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
00:26:04I've been looking for five years
00:26:08I haven't found anyone
00:26:12What about Victoria?
00:26:14He emotionally abused her
00:26:15That's a pattern
00:26:18Whatever you think
00:26:18I what's a going
00:26:20Pattern evidence is admissible
00:26:21In some states
00:26:22But it's not enough
00:26:24For 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
00:26:34You're willing to let him walk
00:26:35On the assault charges?
00:26:37I'm willing to let him
00:26:39Rot in prison
00:26:40For 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
00:26:52For ten years
00:26:53And you just
00:26:55Let him
00:26:57I had other things
00:26:58To 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
00:27:15To anyone else
00:27:16That's not revenge
00:27:18That's prevention
00:27:21You really believe that?
00:27:24I have to
00:27:42I 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
00:28:08She's married
00:28:09Different name
00:28:10I have her contact info
00:28:13The professor
00:28:14Was Jeffrey's friend
00:28:15They covered for each other
00:28:16Sarah might have
00:28:17Information about both
00:28:21I'll call her
00:28:35Hello?
00:28:37Sarah
00:28:37My name's Ella White
00:28:39My sister was Mia White
00:28:41Five years ago
00:28:42She accused
00:28:43Jeffrey Wintrop
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
00:28:53My sister
00:28:53She'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
00:29:07To tell the truth
00:29:08No one believed me back then
00:29:10But if your sister was brave enough
00:29:12To come forward
00:29:13So 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
00:30:06A starving artist
00:30:07Against a billionaire
00:30:08He was right
00:30:10No one did
00:30:11Would you be willing
00:30:12To testify in court
00:30:16Yes
00:30:17For Mia
00:30:19And for every other girl
00:30:20He hurt
00:30:25With Sarah's testimony
00:30:27We have enough to
00:30:27Indite Jeffrey
00:30:28On multiple counts
00:30:29But I need to warn you
00:30:30His lawyers will attack
00:30:32Your sister's credibility
00:30:33They'll say she was unstable
00:30:35They'll use her medical records
00:30:36Against her
00:30:36Let them
00:30:37My sister is not on trial
00:30:39He is
00:30:43I'll file the charges
00:30:44By 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
00:31:18Then I figure out who I am
00:31:19Without revenge
00:31:20You're the same person
00:31:22You just won't have to
00:31:23Carry the weight anymore
00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop
00:32:06The former CEO
00:32:07Was taken into custody
00:32:09This morning
00:32:10Following a two-year investigation
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
00:32:43From across the street
00:32:46Why didn't you go inside?
00:32:48I didn't need to see him handcuffed
00:32:51I needed to see him afraid
00:32:57Was he?
00:32:59Yes
00:33:11What are you thinking?
00:33:15I'm thinking
00:33:16I might be able to breathe soon
00:33:28Bail is set at $5 million
00:33:31The defendant will surrender his passport
00:33:34And 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
00:33:57Are you the consultant
00:33:58Who uncovered the evidence
00:33:59Against Jeffrey Winthrop?
00:34:03I'm the consultant
00:34:04Who did her job
00:34:07Is it true
00:34:08Your sister is one of his victims?
00:34:09Yes
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?
00:34:31Alexander
00:34:32Why?
00:34:34He makes you smile
00:34:35I like him
00:34:40He's complicated
00:34:41Everyone is complicated
00:34:43You're complicated
00:34:45That doesn't mean you should be alone
00:34:50When did you get so wise?
00:34:53Always
00:35:07DA's office called
00:35:08They want to depose Sarah next week
00:35:10And they want to talk to your sister
00:35:12Just an informal interview
00:35:14Not under oath
00:35:15To 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
00:35:34Neither 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
00:35:44Then 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
00:36:01My 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
00:36:14I'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
00:36:43Her 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
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
00:37:25I'm both
00:37:27What do you need?
00:37:39Do you have access to his financial records?
00:37:47Some
00:37:47Not all
00:37:48Then we start there
00:37:51I'll bring in a forensic accountant
00:37:53Don't delete anything
00:37:55Don't confront him
00:37:56Just 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
00:38:58She'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
00:39:30Of the Winthrop Foundation
00:39:32She 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
00:39:40Combined 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
00:39:48The victim's credibility
00:39:50Especially your sister's
00:39:51Given her medical history
00:39:52Then we put a psychologist
00:39:54On the stand
00:39:54Explain that trauma
00:39:56Doesn't look the same
00:39:56For everyone
00:39:57That her bake down
00:39:58Is evidence
00:39:59Of 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
00:40:09To work with your sister
00:40:10Just to see if she's willing
00:40:11To give a deposition
00:40:12Not in court
00:40:13Just on video
00:40:14That way the jury can see her
00:40:15Without 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
00:40:42But not him directly
00:40:44Not in person
00:40:48I'll do it
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
00:41:00I'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
00:41:18I just forgot
00:41:20Ella
00:41:21When this is over
00:41:23When he's in prison
00:41:24What 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
00:41:30While 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
00:42:02Can you tell us
00:42:03What happened five years ago?
00:42:08He came to the art school
00:42:10He said he wanted to
00:42:12Support young artists
00:42:14He said I was talented
00:42:16Special
00:42:18He invited me to his house
00:42:19For mentoring
00:42:22I went
00:42:22I was 18
00:42:23I 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
00:42:30He 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
00:42:56You did it
00:43:00I did it
00:43:01Now go
00:43:03Finish the rest
00:43:10I will
00:43:17The evidence is insufficient
00:43:19The alleged victims
00:43:21Have questionable motives
00:43:23Denied
00:43:23The case will proceed to trial
00:43:26Trial date set for six weeks from today
00:43:38See 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
00:43:57And after conviction
00:43:59What then?
00:44:01Then I breathe
00:44:03I'm not going anywhere
00:44:23You look tired
00:44:27I'm fine
00:44:36His face
00:44:39I don't want to see it again
00:44:40You won't
00:44:42You don't have to go to court
00:44:44I know
00:44:46But I still see it
00:44:48In my head
00:44:52After the trial
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 from 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 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
00:46:34For 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
00:47:10He 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
00:47:24He said the world needs more people like you
00:47:27People who stop for strangers
00:47:39Look at this
00:47:45Robert and Jeffrey
00:47:46Knew each other
00:47:46If Robert was connected to Jeffrey
00:47:48Then the will case isn't separate
00:47:51It'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
00:48:14Why?
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
00:48:34We have financial record
00:48:35Martha's testimony
00:48:36And we have Mia's video deposition
00:48:39The 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 are not evidence of lying
00:48:48What about the connection to 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 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
00:49:36To look into Robert's connections with Jeffrey
00:49:37If there's a paper trail we'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
00:49:49After what?
00:49:50After the trial
00:49:52When 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
00:50:26And 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 of women
00:50:45With 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?
00:51:03Because 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 from the art world
00:51:31If I told anyone
00:51:35I believed him
00:51:36You settled with the school
00:51:38You took money
00:51:39Doesn't that make you a liar?
00:51:42It makes me someone who 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
00:52:44He said no one would believe me
00:52:46He said I was nobody
00:52:48He was wrong
00:53:05Objection, Your Honor
00:53:06This is prejudicious
00:53:07Overruled
00:53:08Sit down
00:53:09Mia
00:53:14Mia
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop
00:53:22Did you ever assault any of these women?
00:53:25Never
00:53:28They're liars
00:53:29Every one of them
00:53:30Mr. Winthrop
00:53:31Did you pay the art school to silence Mia White?
00:53:34I donated to the school
00:53:36That'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 Winthraus
00:53:47This is your signature, isn't it?
00:53:50I
00:53:50It was handled by my lawyers
00:53:52So you don't deny it's your signature?
00:53:54Yes, that's my signature
00:53:55But it doesn't mean what she says it means
00:53:58Then what does it mean?
00:54:12He's lying
00:54:13Everyone can see it
00:54:17It doesn't matter
00:54:18The jury needs to believe us
00:54:20They will
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:25Because I believe you
00:54:26And I'm not the only one
00:54:30Alexander
00:54:30Yeah?
00:54:33After this is over
00:54:34I'd like to try
00:54:35Not maybe
00:54:36Try
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
00:55:13Whatever happens, you've already won
00:55:15You made him stand trial
00:55:16You made the world see who he is
00:55:18Winning is a conviction
00:55:19Anything 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
00:55:37Have you reached a verdict?
00:55:41Yes, your honor
00:55:49On count one
00:55:51Sexual assault in the first degree
00:55:53Guilty
00:55:57On count two

00:56:18The defendant is remanded into custody
00:56:20Sentencing will be scheduled in six weeks
00:56:23Court 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
00:56:55On video
00:56:56That's enough
00:56:57Now she needs to heal
00:56:58What's next for you?
00:57:03I have a company to run
00:57:05And sunflowers to grow
00:57:26Guilty?
00:57:28Guilty
00:57:29Guilty
00:57:30All counts
00:57:35He'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
00:58:10You 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
00:58:21Mia's work
00:58:23She's really talented
00:58:25I'm starting a foundation
00:58:27For survivors of domestic abuse
00:58:29And sexual assault
00:58:30I want you on the board
00:58:31Victoria, I'm not a
00:58:32You're not just a consultant
00:58:35You're the reason I'm alive
00:58:36Don'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
00:58:49Robert 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
00:58:56But 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
00:59:08Who want to study art
00:59:09Without 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
00:59:28She only takes a few students at a time
00:59:30You've been planning this
00:59:31I've been hoping
00:59:39Was 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
01:00:00You're a survivor
01:00:04Thank you
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
01:00:16I wouldn't have met him
01:00:17And if I hadn't met him
01:00:19You 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
01:00:26Sad
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
01:00:36Your 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
01:00:47Stop 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
01:01:21It's hers
01:01:23She's in her element
01:01:33This
01:01:33This 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
01:01:47I think he's hiding money
01:01:49And I think he's dangerous
01:01:55Sit down
01:01:56Tell me everything
01:02:12You're crying
01:02:14No, I'm not
01:02:15It's the onions
01:02:17Dinner in ten
01:02:18Then I'll set the table
01:02:23I'm over as a coarse field
01:02:25Me and then lies
01:02:26Yeah
01:02:26Whom age has it
01:02:27Quakely worse suckers
01:02:28Stanson and I'd like
01:02:29Please re-share
01:02:30He said my color palette
01:02:31Was too depressing
01:02:31Can you believe that?
01:02:38It's perfect, isn't it?
01:02:41Home
01:02:47On the sexual assault counts
01:02:49Fifteen years
01:02:50Without parole
01:02:51On wire fraud
01:02:53And money laundering
01:02:54An additional five years
01:02:55To run consecutively
01:02:57Total sentence
01:02:58Twenty years
01:03:05It's over
01:03:08For him
01:03:08For us
01:03:10It's just beginning
01:03:23How long?
01:03:26Twenty years
01:03:29He'll be old
01:03:30When 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
01:04:06It's beautiful
01:04:09What now?
01:04:12Now we live
