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

00:25:41we have the settlement agreement
00:25:44Martha's testimony
00:25:45and the new recording
00:25:47of Jeffrey's bribe attempt
00:25:48but we still don't have
00:25:49Mia's testimony
00:25:52without it
00:25:53a jury might not convict
00:25:55she can't testify
00:25:57she's not well
00:25:58then we need something else
00:25:59another victim
00:26:03I've been looking for five years
00:26:08I haven't found anyone
00:26:12what about Victoria

00:26:15that's a pattern
00:26:17whatever you think
00:26:18Al what's it going
00:26:19pattern evidence is admissible
00:26:21in some states
00:26:22but it's not enough
00:26:24for a sexual assault charge
00:26:25then find another way

00:27:15to anyone else
00:27:15that's not revenge

00:32:05Jeffrey Winthrop, the former CEO, was taken into custody this morning following a two-year
00:32:10investigation.
00:32:21Are you okay?
00:32:28He's arrested.
00:32:30He's actually arrested.
00:32:38You missed it.
00:32:40The arrest.
00:32:42I saw it from across the street.
00:32:45Why didn't you go inside?
00:32:47I didn't need to see him handcuffed.
00:32:50I needed to see him afraid.
00:32:57Was he?
00:32:59Yes.
00:33:11What are you thinking?
00:33:14I'm thinking I might be able to breathe soon.
00:33:20I'm thinking I might be able to breathe soon.
00:33:28Bail is set at $5 million.
00:33:31The defendant will surrender his passport and wear an electronic monitor device.
00:33:40Objection, Your Honor.
00:33:42Overruled.
00:33:43Remanded into custody pending trial.
00:33:45No bail.
00:33:55Mrs. White, are you the consultant who uncovered the evidence against Jeffrey Winthrop?
00:34:02I'm the consultant who did her job.
00:34:07Is it true your sister is one of his victims?
00:34:12My sister is not a victim.
00:34:14She's a survivor.
00:34:15And she's not on trial.
00:34:17He is.
00:34:29Who's that?
00:34:30Alexander.
00:34:32Why?
00:34:33He makes you smile.
00:34:35I like him.
00:34:39He'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, not 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.
00:35:25There have to be more.
00:35:27I'm trying.
00:35:28But these cases are old.
00:35:30People have moved on.
00:35:30They don't want to relive it.
00:35:31Neither 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.
00:35:42Mentorship.
00:35:43Art funding.
00:35:44Then assault.
00:35:45Her name is Lisa.
00:35:47She's willing to talk.
00:35:50I'll call her.
00:35:57Hello?
00:35:59Lisa?
00:36:00My name is Ella White.
00:36:01My sister was Mia White.
00:36:03Five years ago.
00:36:03I know who you are.
00:36:04I saw the news.
00:36:05I'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.
00:36:19She was the first one who spoke.
00:36:22The rest of us were too scared.
00:36:31Two 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.
00:37:08Thank you for trusting me.
00:37:12I read about you.
00:37:14About 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?
00:37:46Some.
00:37:47Not all.
00:37:49Then we start there.
00:37:50I'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.
00:38:03Let's do this.
00:38:14Where are you?
00:38:23Where are you?
00:38:24What do you need?
00:38:32Come, come, come.
00:38:33Hopefully it'll work for them.
00:38:33I'll take care of you, dear Nieu.
00:38:33Come, come, come.
00:38:40You make it look so easy.
00:38:44You're holding the pencil wrong.
00:38:47Show me again.
00:38:55You two look cozy.
00:38:57She's teaching me to draw.
00:39:03You're terrible.
00:39:06I know.
00:39:07She said I need practice.
00:39:10He's a good student.
00:39:27We found another witness.
00:39:29A former employee of the Winthrop Foundation.
00:39:31She handled the payments to the art school.
00:39:33She has emails showing Jeffrey personally approved the settlement.
00:39:37That's direct evidence.
00:39:38It is.
00:39:39Combined with Sarah and Lisa's testimonies, we have enough for a strong case.
00:39:43But we still need to address the defense's likely strategy.
00:39:47They'll attack the victim's credibility.
00:39:49Especially your sister's, given her medical history.
00:39:52Then we put a psychologist on the stand.
00:39:54Explain that trauma doesn't look the same for everyone.
00:39:57That her bake-down is evidence of what he did, not against it.
00:40:02You've thought about this a lot.
00:40:05For five years.
00:40:07I'll assign a victim advocate to work with your sister.
00:40:09Just 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.
00:40:20I'll ask her.
00:40:27The DA wants to talk to you.
00:40:29On video.
00:40:31You don't have to go to court.
00:40:33Just answer questions.
00:40:35Tell your story.
00:40:39Will he see it?
00:40:41His lawyers will.
00:40:42But not him directly.
00:40:43Not in person.
00:40:47I'll do it.
00:40:49For you.
00:40:50And for the other girls.
00:40:55You don't have to do this for me.
00:40:58I know.
00:40:59I'm doing it for me.
00:41:10I heard she agreed.
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:15That's brave.
00:41:16She's always been brave.
00:41:18I just forgot.
00:41:20Ella.
00:41:21When this is over.
00:41:22When he's in prison, what then?
00:41:24I told you.
00:41:25I don't know.
00:41:26Then figure it out.
00:41:28But don't push me away while you do.
00:41:32I'm not pushing you away.
00:41:35You're not letting me in either.
00:41:39I'm trying.
00:41:45Try harder.
00:42:01Mia, can you tell us what happened five years ago?
00:42:07He came to the art school.
00:42:10He said he wanted to support young artists.
00:42:13He said I was talented.
00:42:16Special.
00:42:17He invited me to his house.
00:42:19For mentoring.
00:42:21I went.
00:42:22I was 18.
00:42:23I thought he was helping me.
00:42:25He locked the door.
00:42:26He said no one would believe me.
00:42:28He said I was nobody.
00:42:30He was wrong.
00:42:31Why 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.
00:42:59I did it.
00:43:01Now go.
00:43:03Finish the rest.
00:43:09I will.
00:43:17The evidence is insufficient.
00:43:19The 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.
00:43:38See you in hell.
00:43:44Six weeks until trial.
00:43:47Six weeks to find more evidence.
00:43:51You've done enough.
00:43:52There's never enough.
00:43:53Not 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.
00:44:06I'm not going anywhere.
00:44:23You look tired.
00:44:26I'm fine.
00:44:28I'm fine.
00:44:35His face.
00:44:38I 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.
00:44:51After the trial, we'll find you a therapist.
00:44:54Someone who specializes in trauma.
00:44:56You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
00:45:07Then 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?
00:45:30Yes.
00:45:31Charles put it in the will as 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.
00:45:38But the will is being contested.
00:45:40If we don't defend it, the cousin will get everything, including the pendant.
00:45:44Then defend it.
00:45:45I'll help.
00:45:46But not for me.
00:45:47For Charles.
00:45:48Charles, he sounds like he was a good man.
00:45:55He was.
00:46:09Alexander.
00:46:11Why are you helping me?
00:46:12With Jeffrey, I mean.
00:46:14This isn't your fight.
00:46:15You asked me that before.
00:46:17I told you, it is now.
00:46:19That's not an answer.
00:46:21Because I watched you sit on the floor with my sister when everyone else was afraid of her.
00:46:28Because you took on a billionaire with nothing but a laptop and a voice recorder.
00:46:33Because you've been fighting for five years for someone who can't fight for herself.
00:46:37That's not just doing your job.
00:46:38That's not just doing your job.
00:46:38That's who you are.
00:46:40And 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 in his letters.
00:47:19He said the world needs more people like you.
00:47:27People who stop for strangers.
00:47:39Look at this.
00:47:44Robert and Jeffrey knew each other?
00:47:46If Robert was connected to Jeffrey, then the will case isn't separate.
00:47:50It's connected to everything.
00:47:52You think Jeffrey helped Robert forge the will?
00:47:54I think we need to find out.
00:48:03You're not just a consultant.
00:48:05You're a detective.
00:48:07I'm just someone who doesn't stop until she finds the truth.
00:48:10That's what scares me about you.
00:48:13Why?
00:48:14Because you might burn yourself out before 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.
00:48:33We have financial record, Martha's testimony, and we have Mia's video deposition.
00:48:38The defense will try to discredit the victims, especially given Mia's mental health history.
00:48:43But our expert psychologist will explain that trauma-induced breakdowns are not evidence of lying.
00:48:48What about the connection to Robert Astor and the will forgery?
00:48:53That's a separate case.
00:48:55But if you have evidence, we can use it to show a pattern of corruption.
00:49:01I'm working on it.
00:49:09Not so deep.
00:49:11The roots need room.
00:49:13Like 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.
00:49:33He's assigning a forensic accountant to look into Robert's connections with Jeffrey.
00:49:37If there's a paper trail, we'll find it.
00:49:41For believing me.
00:49:42I always did.
00:49:44Even when I didn't know the whole story.
00:49:47I'm scared of what comes after.
00:49:48After what?
00:49:50After the trial.
00:49:51When 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.
00:49:58You're Ella.
00:49:59The woman who saved my life in a snowstorm.
00:50:01Who sits on the floor with strangers.
00:50:03Who plants sunflowers for her sister.
00:50:05That's who you are.
00:50:06The fight doesn't define you.
00:50:07You 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, influence, and fear to silence his victims.
00:50:29Over seven years, three women, and likely more, were assaulted by the defendant.
00:50:35We will prove that Jeffrey Wintherd is not a philanthropist.
00:50:39He is a predator.
00:50:41The prosecution's case rests on the word of women with questionable motives.
00:50:46One has a diagnosed mental illness.
00:50:48Another waited seven years.
00:50:51These are not reliable witnesses.
00:50:54Not now.
00:50:55Trust the process.
00:50:57Why now?
00:50:58Why come forward after seven years?
00:51:02Because I saw another woman come forward.
00:51:05Mia White.
00:51:07She was brave enough to speak.
00:51:09I decided to be brave too.
00:51:14So you're motivated by media attention?
00:51:17I'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 if I told anyone.
00:51:35I believed him.
00:51:36You settled with the school.
00:51:37You took money.
00:51:39Doesn't that make you a liar?
00:51:41It makes me someone who was scared and broke.
00:51:47But I'm not scared anymore.
00:51:57I heard on the news, Sarah and Lisa, they were brave.
00:52:03Yes, they were.
00:52:06Do you think I'm brave?
00:52:09You're the bravest person I know.
00:52:11Then why do I still feel so small?
00:52:13Because he made you feel that way.
00:52:17But you're not small.
00:52:19You never were.
00:52:20Okay, Mia.
00:52:22Everything's okay now.
00:52:23No.
00:52:24No.
00:52:27No.
00:52:28No.
00:52:28No.
00:52:29No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:43He said no one would believe me.
00:52:45He said I was nobody.
00:52:47He was wrong.
00:53:04Objection, Your Honor.
00:53:05This is prejudicious.
00:53:07Overruled.
00:53:08Sit down.
00:53:09Mia.
00:53:21Mr. Winthrop, did you ever assault any of these women?
00:53:25Never.
00:53:27They'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.
00:53:35That's not a crime.
00:53:36Did you personally approve the settlement agreement?
00:53:40I don't recall.
00:53:44Settlement agreement signed by Jeffrey Winthrouse.
00:53:46This is your signature, isn't it?
00:53:49I...
00:53:50It was handled by my lawyers.
00:53:51So you don't deny it's your signature?
00:53:53Yes, that's my signature.
00:53:55But it doesn't mean what she says it means.
00:53:57Then what does it mean?
00:54:12He's lying.
00:54:13Everyone can see it.
00:54:16It doesn't matter.
00:54:18The jury needs to believe us.
00:54:20They will.
00:54:23How do you know?
00:54:23Because I believe you.
00:54:26And I'm not the only one.
00:54:29Alexander.
00:54:30Yeah?
