Short filmTranscript
00:00Nina wasn't just playing audio.
00:01She was recording Elena's brain activity during the windows,
00:04sending the data to Richard in real time.
00:06So he knew exactly what mom remembered.
00:08Every flash, every number.
00:10That's how he stayed one step ahead.
00:12But there's someone else.
00:13Nina said it before she was taken.
00:15Our eyes are in the house.
00:18I've heard that phrase before.
00:19It's Richard's.
00:20It means a deep cover asset.
00:22Someone close to the target.
00:23Close to mom.
00:24That's only one person.
00:26Grace.
00:27We don't move on Grace yet.
00:28She's been sending us intel for two years.
00:31She's double agent.
00:32Double agent?
00:33She could be playing both sides.
00:35Every piece of evidence we have on Richard,
00:37Grace provided half of it.
00:39She wants him in prison more than we do.
00:40Then why is she still inside?
00:42Because she wants to see him fall herself.
00:44Personal.
00:44Grace's real name is Grace Petrov.
00:47Her father was Victor Petrov, Thomas Vance's best friend.
00:49He was murdered two weeks after Thomas.
00:51Same method, breaks cut.
00:53She's been waiting 20 years.
00:55And she won't stop until Richard is dead or in a cell.
01:02Your father, what was his name?
01:08Victor.
01:12He knew Thomas.
01:14They grew up together.
01:16Thomas was godfather to my little brother.
01:19Richard killed him too.
01:23Two weeks after Thomas.
01:25Same road.
01:27Same mechanic.
01:31You've been carrying this alone.
01:33Not alone.
01:35I had your husband's memory.
01:37And now I have you.
01:39I sent Richard's men false intel for years.
01:41Gave the FBI real intel every step.
01:43I was there.
01:44Why didn't you tell me soon?
01:45Because I didn't know if you were still on his side.
01:47After the every incident, including your hate for him.
01:49I remember now.
01:52Not everything.
01:53But enough.
01:55Enough for what?
01:57Enough to finish this.
01:59Grace is compromised.
02:00We need to pull her.
02:01No.
02:02Let her stay.
02:03She's still useful.
02:04She gave the FBI the safe location.
02:06Then we move the U-backs.
02:08Tonight.
02:09And Grace.
02:10She'll find out what happens to people who betray me.
02:17Check me.
02:24Two more days, Dad.
02:26Then we're done.
02:30The FBI wants to move on the safe by Friday.
02:33They need the code.
02:33I'm working on it.
02:35The window showed numbers.
02:36Six digits.
02:37But I can't...
02:40I came to see my daughter.
02:42Is she home?
02:47She's resting.
02:48I'll tell her you stopped by.
02:57To apologize for the birthday party, I was harsh.
03:06You're new.
03:07What's your name?
03:08Grace.
03:09Grace.
03:10Pretty name.
03:12Anya Petrov.
03:14Worked here years ago.
03:15Reminds me of some girl.
03:18I wouldn't know, sir.
03:19I'm from Ohio.
03:21Of course, Ohio.
03:22Well, I won't stay.
03:23Elena, think about my apologies.
03:25Take care of her.
03:27I wouldn't want anything to happen.
03:30I'm fine.
03:31I just left her.
03:33Twenty years.
03:35And he still almost got me.
03:37He came here while we were gone?
03:40He didn't come from me.
03:42He came to test Grace.
03:45And she passed.
03:46But he knows.
03:47He has to know.
03:49He suspects.
03:50That's different.
03:52We need to move faster.
03:53The UPAN, the safe, everything.
03:56I've been running algorithms on possible codes.
03:59Based on dates that would mean something to mom.
04:02Like what?
04:03Her wedding date.
04:05October 10, 1988.
04:07October 10, 1988.
04:09That's six digits.
04:10101-088.
04:12Thomas said to me once,
04:13set the code to something you'll never forget.
04:16The day you stopped being afraid.
04:17When was that?
04:18The day I married him.
04:2010-10-88.
04:21I'll send it to Maria.
04:22You remembered the code.
04:25I remember his voice.
04:27The day you stopped being afraid.
04:29Were you?
04:30Terrified.
04:31Marrying Thomas meant leaving Richard's control.
04:33He threatened to disown me.
04:35To hurt Thomas.
04:36But I did it anyway.
04:37That's courage.
04:38Not lack of fear.
04:40Acting despite it.
04:42Thomas said the same thing.
04:45Tomorrow, we get the UPAN.
04:49Your mother saved my career.
04:5230 years ago, she was our best asset.
04:55Codename Phoenix.
04:57That's the word she saw.
04:59In the window?
04:59She infiltrated Sterling's operation from the inside.
05:02Gathered evidence on money laundering, fraud, two murders.
05:05Thomas Vance and Grace's father.
05:07Both on Richard's orders.
05:09We had enough to indict.
05:11But the night before she was supposed to testify?
05:13The accident?
05:15We found brake lines cut.
05:16But the mechanic was paid off.
05:19The case went cold.
05:21And Elena lost her memory.
05:24The UPAN, where is it?
05:26That's the problem.
05:27She hit it before the accident.
05:28Told no one, not even us.
05:31The evidence has been sitting there for 30 years.
05:35Waiting for her to remember.
05:38How many windows does she have left?
05:40Dr. Harrison said maybe two, maybe one.
05:44She uses the last one for the UPAD location.
05:46She might not survive, I know.
05:50It's Ivy.
05:51She thinks the code is 1-on-1-88.
05:53Wedding for her.
05:54That could work.
05:55And Grace has Richard's fingerprint from a glass at the estate.
05:57Then we move tonight.
06:00Marcus called.
06:01Told me about the code.
06:06You have Richard's fingerprint?
06:08From a glass at the estate.
06:09Two weeks ago.
06:11How did you know you'd need it?
06:12I've been planning this for 20 years.
06:14I have prints from every Sterling family event.
06:19You're terrifying.
06:22The code.
06:24101088.
06:25Are you sure?
06:26I saw Thomas' face when I remembered it.
06:28He was smiling.
06:30Then it's right.
06:32Grace.
06:33If something happens to me tonight...
06:34Nothing's going to happen.
06:35If something happens, take care of them.
06:37My children.
06:39Nothing's going to happen.
06:40But yes, I will.
06:42The study is on the second floor, East Wing.
06:45Two guards at the front, one at the back.
06:47Grace will disable the security system from inside.
06:51And us?
06:52You stay here.
06:53This is an FBI operation.
06:55She's our mother.
06:56We're going.
06:58Fine.
06:59But you follow my orders.
07:01No heroics.
07:02We're not heroes.
07:03We're children.
07:04Roll out in 20.
07:05My father used to say that the stars are just holes in the darkness.
07:09Light coming through.
07:11That even when everything's black, there's always a way out.
07:16Then let's go find the light.
07:17What did he mean?
07:22Remembered something else today.
07:27The mechanic.
07:28The one who checked Thomas' car the day he died.
07:31His name was Victor Petrov.
07:38He didn't just fix cars, did he?
07:42He was my dad.
07:45Richard paid him to cut the brakes.
07:47My dad tried to back out.
07:49He warned Thomas.
07:50But it was too late.
07:52Two weeks after Thomas died, Richard had my dad's car run off the road.
07:58Grace.
08:02I was 19.
08:04I changed my name.
08:06I got a nursing degree.
08:08And I got a job with the man who murdered my father.
08:1320 years.
08:14You've been living with him for 20 years?
08:18I've been playing him.
08:20Feeding the FBN and the ninja to the Red Cross.
08:24Waiting for the day I could watch him burn.
08:39He took your family.
08:40He took ours.
08:43We're gonna take his life.
09:07Every memory window is a localized seizure, Mrs. Vance.
09:11Your brain is essentially eating itself.
09:14Give it to me straight, Doc.
09:16How many does she have left?
09:18Two, at most.
09:20If she triggers a third, she faces total cognitive collapse.
09:23Permanent wipe.
09:29Good to know the limit.
09:30We know Richard's safe is behind the painting.
09:34But the FBI can't open it without the six-digit code.
09:37Richard changed the override protocol.
09:39He told his lawyer the backup code is linked to the Swiss bank account.
09:45Then I need to go to Zurich.
09:47No!
09:48You heard the doctor!
09:49One wrong trigger on that trip and you're brain dead!
09:51Thomas died for this evidence.
09:53Grace's father died for it.
09:54I am not letting Richard walk away because I was too scared to catch a flight.
10:00I'll fly commercial.
10:02Under the radar.
10:03Just the janitor taking a trip.
10:16Economy perfect.
10:23Yeah, it's me.
10:26I need a favor from your lead flight attendant on LX-17 tomorrow.
10:31Tell her there's ten grand in it if she makes the toilet scrubber in 37D wish she never stepped foot
10:36on that plane.
10:44There you are.
10:46It's me.
10:47I need you to do something on the flight tomorrow.
10:50The janitor in 37C?
10:51Make her life hell.
10:53There's an extra five grand if you lock her in the bathroom for the whole flight.
11:00Time to remind the janitor who she is.
11:13She left a note.
11:14What is it?
11:15Switzerland.
11:16Her flight left an hour ago.
11:20She's on a plane with Vanessa.
11:21The judge released her on bail.
11:23Richard arranged it.
11:24Vanessa will recognize her!
11:25I'll get a private jet.
11:26We meet her in Zurich.
11:29How long until we land?
11:30Four hours.
11:31Her plane lands 40 minutes before us.
11:33I'm tracking her flight.
11:34She's still in the air.
11:35What if Vanessa hurts her before we get there?
11:37Then I'll kill Vanessa myself.
11:38The U-Pen was moved last night.
11:39Richard's men got to it before the FBI.
11:41The safe is empty.
11:42I know.
11:42That's why mom went to Switzerland.
11:44The bank might have a copy of the records.
11:50Well, well.
11:51The janitor.
11:52Alone?
11:52What's wrong?
11:53Your rich kids couldn't afford first class?
11:56I asked your question.
11:59Go away.
12:02Let's see what you brought.
12:04Trash bags?
12:05Stop.
12:05Don't touch me.
12:13You really want to do this here?
12:15This woman assaulted me.
12:16I want her removed.
12:18Ma'am, please come with me.
12:20She paid you.
12:21Come with me or I'll have you arrested at the gate.
12:25You'll stay here.
12:26I have a seat.
12:2737 seat.
12:28Not anymore.
12:29That seat's taken.
12:30You sit here or I have the marshals meet you at the gate.
12:32How much?
12:33Enough.
12:35Enough.
12:50How did you...
12:55You bitch!
12:57You touch me again, I'll do worse.
13:00And you.
13:01I'll make sure you never work on a plane again.
13:13Mrs. Vance, your children are waiting.
13:22Don't ever do that again.
13:24I'm fine.
13:26Your neck.
13:27She choked you.
13:28I've had worse.
13:30Any new windows?
13:31No.
13:32I fought it down.
13:32Didn't want to risk it.
13:33Good.
13:34The doctor said each one damages your brain.
13:36Mom, the U-pad is gone.
13:38Richard's men moved it before the FBI got there.
13:41Then we're too late.
13:43No.
13:44We're just getting started.
13:50I've traced Richard's men.
13:52They moved the U-dive to a safe house outside Geneva.
13:54We have a window.
13:56How long?
13:58Eight hours before they transfer it again.
14:01Then we go now.
14:03No.
14:04This is my fight.
14:07Mom, you almost died on that plane.
14:09I didn't.
14:11And I'm not going to.
14:16I know the code.
14:17I know the layout of Richard's study.
14:19And I know his mind.
14:21Let me do this.
14:24Fine.
14:25But we're coming with you.
14:27Three guards inside.
14:28Two at the front.
14:30One in the back.
14:32How do you know?
14:33Thermal imaging from a drone I hacked.
14:36You have a drone?
14:37I have 17 drones.
14:39Stay in the car.
14:40We'll get the U-backs.
14:41No.
14:42I'm going in.
14:59Two more.
15:27Got it.
15:28Let's go.
15:29Thirty years.
15:32Is that everything?
15:35Bank records.
15:36Audio recordings.
15:38Photographs.
15:40Enough to bury Richard forever.
15:42Police are seven minutes out.
15:44We should go.
15:44Thomas.
15:47It's done.
15:49Hurry.
15:50It's this way.
15:55We just broke into a house.
15:57We retrieved stolen evidence.
15:59It's not breaking.
16:01It's recovering.
16:02You okay?
16:04I will be.
16:05When I see Richard's face in court.
16:09Soon.
16:15The damage is worse than I thought.
16:17The physical trauma on the plane accelerated the deterioration.
16:21How many does she have left?
16:24One.
16:25Maybe.
16:25A permanent memory loss.
16:27Or brain death.
16:29I understand.
16:30No.
16:31We have the U-pad.
16:32We don't need another window.
16:33The U-pad has evidence against Richard.
16:34But I need the last window for something else.
16:36What?
16:37To remember you.
16:38All of you.
16:39The day I found each of you.
16:43Mom.
16:44No.
16:44I've spent 30 years forgetting.
16:48Let me spend my last memory remembering.
16:55Whenever you're ready.
16:57Stay with me.
16:59We're not going anywhere.
17:01Fuck the U-pad.
17:03Fuck Richard.
17:06Do you want to come with me?
17:07You won't leave?
17:09Never.
17:11Found on the steps this morning.
17:13No name.
17:16Her name is Sierra.
17:20You're coming home with me.
17:22Are you my mom now?
17:24Yes.
17:25From today, I'm your mom.
17:36I remember everything.
17:40Marcus behind the radiator.
17:42Sierra's pink blanket.
17:43Ivy asking me if I was her mom.
17:46We're here.
17:46We're all here.
17:48I didn't use the last window for the U-pad.
17:51I used it for you.
17:53We know.
17:53We know.
17:54And you know I'm an idiot.
17:56A sentimental idiot.
17:58The biggest.
17:59The window is closed.
18:00Her vitals are stable.
18:01But what?
18:03The damage is done.
18:04She may not retain these memories for long.
18:06Then I'll remember them now.
18:08She chose us over the evidence.
18:09Over everything.
18:11That's who she is.
18:12That's who she's always been.
18:12Grace texted.
18:13The FBI is ready to move on Richard.
18:14They have the U-back data.
18:15They don't need mom anymore.
18:16Then let's finish this.
18:17For her.
18:28She used to tell me stories.
18:29When I couldn't sleep.
18:31Every night.
18:32The same story.
18:33She never told me stories.
18:34She sang.
18:35Off key.
18:36She taught me how to tie my shoes.
18:38I was seven.
18:39I should have known already.
18:40But no one ever taught me.
18:42She's the only parent any of us ever had.
18:43The only one we needed.
18:45We love you mom.
18:55Security is disabled.
18:57Ivy hacked the system.
18:58We have 15 minutes.
19:00That's enough.
19:14Richard's fingerprint.
19:16From a wine glass at his birthday party.
19:21Your turn.
19:271-0-1-0-8-8.
19:38Thomas.
19:43This is it.
19:48I thought I'd find you here.
19:52Stay back.
19:53You were always stubborn.
19:55Even as a child.
19:57I learned from you.
19:59Did you?
20:00I taught you to be hard.
20:02To never trust anyone.
20:04And I learned to collect evidence.
20:07That U-Pan won't hold up in court.
20:09I have the best lawyers.
20:11Not anymore.
20:11The FBI already has a copy.
20:15You've betrayed your own family.
20:18You're not my family.
20:21She is.
20:22She's not your real mother.
20:24She picked you out of a fucking orphanage.
20:26You've got nothing.
20:27Blood doesn't matter.
20:28She chose me.
20:30You never chose anyone.
20:31Don't.
20:32Anya Petrov.
20:33I should have killed you when I had the chance.
20:35You killed my father.
20:36That was your mistake.
20:42Richard Sterling.
20:43You're under arrest for the murders of Thomas Vance and Victor Petrov.
20:46And the attempted murder of Elena Vance.
20:52You think this ends with me in a cell?
20:55I know it does.
20:56I'll be out in five years.
20:58Ten at most.
21:00And then...
21:00You'll be dead.
21:01Or I will be.
21:05We'll need that.
21:07It's all there.
21:08Bank records.
21:09Audio.
21:10Everything.
21:11Either way, I won't be afraid of you anymore.
21:13Thank you, Phoenix.
21:15I always hated that codename.
21:17I know.
21:18It's over.
21:21No.
21:22It's just beginning.
21:31Morning, Mom.
21:32I brought the Q3 projections.
21:33Since Richard is locked up, the board wants you to sign off on the asset freeze.
21:42Ivy?
21:44What is this?
21:45It's your company, Mom.
21:47Vance Group.
21:48It's all Greek to me.
21:49I don't remember any of this.
21:51The numbers, the meetings.
21:53It's gone.
21:57Why are you crying?
21:59I might have lost a company, but I know exactly who you two are.
22:07I kept the only treasure that mattered.
22:09It's official, Marcus.
22:11The grand jury just returned the indictment.
22:13First degree murder, conspiracy, money laundering, no bail.
22:18Richard is going to rot in federal lockout.
22:20Thank you, Maria.
22:22Don't pop the champagne yet.
22:23We hit a wall.
22:26What wall?
22:28Maria.
22:29John Harrison.
22:30Richard's lawyer.
22:31He caught wind of the raid.
22:32He's vanished.
22:33He's vanished.
22:35He's vanished.
22:42Burn the files.
22:43All of them.
22:47Sterling is a dead man walking, and I don't intend to share his coffin.
