00:00:02First day, new job. How bad can rich people be?
00:00:06New maid, finally. Something in this house worth looking at.
00:00:10The maid and the wife. Honestly, hard to tell them apart.
00:00:14You must be Kara. Ignore all of this. Let me show you the kitchen.
00:00:18Ma'am, his tongue was just down the other woman's rote, and you're apologizing to me?
00:00:23It's complicated. Please.
00:00:30Lesson one. In this house, you see nothing.
00:00:33Keep it. I don't say yes to men like you.
00:00:37Everyone in this house says yes to me. Eventually.
00:00:41Then I'll be your first no. She gave it back.
00:00:45No one in this house has ever given it back.
00:01:03Oops. Clumsy little wife. Let the maid pour. She's prettier anyway.
00:01:08Unbelievable. The wife serves. The mistress sits.
00:01:11The lady of this house is pouring your tea. Say thank you or pour your own.
00:01:16A maid with a mouth. You won't last a week in this house.
00:01:20Then I'll make this week count.
00:01:23My reading glasses. Left them on his desk. Be quick. He hates anyone in there.
00:01:34Not my business.
00:01:36Then again, nothing in this house is supposed to be.
00:01:41Fifty grand. Two clicks. Straight to his mistress.
00:01:44That's not a fling. That's payroll.
00:01:48Got it. Now I just need her to look before he notices I did.
00:01:53Your glasses.
00:01:55And this.
00:01:56He wired her fifty thousand last week.
00:01:59Not a fling, ma'am. A second household.
00:02:04Stop. This is my marriage.
00:02:07Not your business.
00:02:10Fine. But you flinched.
00:02:12Part of you already knew.
00:02:14Fire that mouthy maid.
00:02:16She stays. I chose her.
00:02:20Why do I keep saying sorry?
00:02:25This house is very generous to a girl who says yes.
00:02:29And very cruel to one who keeps saying no.
00:02:33Careful.
00:02:34I saw your phone light up.
00:02:36Fifty grand to your mistress.
00:02:37Does your wife's family lawyer know?
00:02:41You're not just a maid, are you?
00:02:44Marcus.
00:02:45Take your hand off my wall and your eyes off my staff.
00:02:49Careful, darling.
00:02:50People who forget their place, lose it.
00:02:56That was new.
00:02:59Don't make it a thing.
00:03:01I just don't like bullies.
00:03:05I wasn't always the wife.
00:03:08Before him, I was someone.
00:03:10Then stop apologizing.
00:03:13And be her again.
00:03:20She's the only one here who sees me.
00:03:23Everyone else just sees a checkbook.
00:03:26Relax.
00:03:26Her little cross fortune will all be mine soon.
00:03:29I put a paper in front of her.
00:03:31The wife signs.
00:03:32Always has.
00:03:36Bring the cross trust papers.
00:03:38Tonight, my wife signs before she gets any ideas.
00:03:44She didn't sign.
00:03:46Said her hand was too tired to hold a pen.
00:03:52Send it back tonight.
00:03:54I'll be there when she does.
00:03:56So she stalled him.
00:03:58Bought a knight.
00:04:02Brave and dangerous.
00:04:06How would you like a promotion, Kara?
00:04:09My personal maid.
00:04:11Triple the pay.
00:04:15Triple pay to do what, exactly?
00:04:22To keep me company.
00:04:25The wife's so cold these days.
00:04:28Keep your company, money.
00:04:30Weigh down your drink with it.
00:04:34Careful, Mr. Hale.
00:04:35A maid sees everything.
00:04:38And including who you wire at midnight.
00:04:42You should be very careful what you think you saw.
00:04:50Kara, from today you serve me directly.
00:04:53My husband can ring the bell like everyone else.
00:04:56Protective of the help.
00:04:57How sweet.
00:04:59Don't read into it.
00:05:00I just don't like him buying people.
00:05:04Dig up everything on the new maid.
00:05:07Everyone has a price.
00:05:08I just haven't found hers.
00:05:12Hang this up, will you?
00:05:15Oh, right.
00:05:16You're the wife.
00:05:17Close enough to staff.
00:05:20Sienna's staying in the east suite.
00:05:23Make her comfortable.
00:05:28The east suite's the lady of the house's guest wing.
00:05:31Guests get invited, not parked.
00:05:34Are you going to let your maid talk to me like that?
00:05:40You like the stairs so much?
00:05:42Scrub every step.
00:05:43On your knees.
00:05:44Tonight.
00:05:47Fine.
00:05:48I've cleaned up worse mess than your stairs.
00:05:50I'm not staying for him.
00:05:52I'm staying for her.
00:05:53A few steps won't break me.
00:05:55Stop him.
00:05:57Say something.
00:05:58He'll freeze my cards again.
00:06:00Lock me in.
00:06:01He always does.
00:06:13Upstairs I couldn't sleep.
00:06:14So I came down.
00:06:17I brought something for your hands.
00:06:28You didn't have to come down here, ma'am.
00:06:29I should have stopped him today.
00:06:32I just stood there.
00:06:35Like always.
00:06:37Then stop standing there.
00:06:39You did this once already.
00:06:41You stood in front of me.
00:06:43I wasn't always like this.
00:06:46Small.
00:06:47Afraid.
00:06:49He made me forget who I was.
00:06:52Get up.
00:06:54Walk away.
00:06:55Why do I want to stay?
00:07:01Well, well.
00:07:03The cold wife found something warm.
00:07:06Tending the maid's hands at midnight.
00:07:08People will talk, darling.
00:07:14She's my staff.
00:07:16I'll look after my own people.
00:07:18Your people?
00:07:19Vivian, without me, you couldn't run a charity raffle.
00:07:22Don't embarrass yourself.
00:07:25I didn't mean...
00:07:28Good girl.
00:07:29Keep the maid at arm's length.
00:07:31For her sake.
00:07:35Keep your distance.
00:07:36That's all I've done for six years.
00:07:38Keep my distance.
00:07:39From everyone.
00:07:41From myself.
00:07:44Couldn't sleep either, ma'am.
00:07:46Midnight paperwork.
00:07:47The boring wife's hiding something.
00:07:51Cross.
00:07:52Pretty name?
00:07:53Family?
00:07:54Old paperwork.
00:07:55Nothing.
00:07:56Forget you saw it.
00:07:57Please.
00:07:58A trophy wife doesn't lock old paperwork like it's a bomb.
00:08:02But she's scared.
00:08:03I'll wait.
00:08:04The wife's money.
00:08:05Where's it really from?
00:08:07Marcus tiptoes around her accounts.
00:08:08Why?
00:08:16Babe, snap this through her door just now.
00:08:19Your boring little wife is hiding something called cross.
00:08:24Cross.
00:08:25Six years she let me think she was nothing.
00:08:27What exactly did I marry?
00:08:31She pushed me.
00:08:32The maid threw wine on me.
00:08:33On purpose.
00:08:34The glass tipped towards you, not me.
00:08:36And your camera in the corner caught all of it.
00:08:38Shall we play it back?
00:08:39Babe, are you really gonna take a maid's word over mine?
00:08:42A tape can say anything money wants it to.
00:08:47I'm not here for the truth.
00:08:49I'm here to keep my house in line.
00:08:52Kill the feed in here.
00:08:55A month's wages, gone.
00:08:57And this, your reference letter.
00:08:59Try finding another house without it.
00:09:01Tear all you want.
00:09:02A piece of paper never said yes for me and it won't make me kneel now.
00:09:05Marcus, that's enough.
00:09:06Sit down.
00:09:08One more word and your favorite maid is gone by morning.
00:09:12You had the feed killed.
00:09:13But I saved a copy off my own phone.
00:09:16You said one more word?
00:09:17Fine.
00:09:18This is my word.
00:09:19Watch.
00:09:20That's edited.
00:09:22Nothing's edited and you know it.
00:09:24She won't be framed tonight.
00:09:26You want to play lady of the house?
00:09:28Fine.
00:09:29Cards frozen.
00:09:30Go to your room.
00:09:31Now.
00:09:35I finally said it.
00:09:37And it cost me everything I'm allowed to have.
00:09:40Worth it.
00:09:43That was the bravest thing I've ever seen you do.
00:09:48When I'm next to you.
00:09:52I forget to be afraid.
00:09:55Last night humiliated my wife.
00:09:57You care about her.
00:09:59So here's the deal.
00:10:00Play nice with me and I'll go easy on her.
00:10:03If I play nice, what's in it for me?
00:10:07You seem generous with Mrs. Vaught anyway.
00:10:10Fifty grand generous.
00:10:12Fifty's nothing.
00:10:13There's more where that came from.
00:10:15Soon, a lot more.
00:10:17Be smart.
00:10:18You'll get a slice.
00:10:19A lot more?
00:10:21From where?
00:10:22This house doesn't print money.
00:10:25You ask a lot of questions for a maid.
00:10:27Just trying to be smart, Mr. Hale.
00:10:29Like you said.
00:10:35That background check on the maid.
00:10:37I want it yesterday.
00:10:38She's too calm.
00:10:40Too calm for a girl who scrubs floors.
00:10:43My cortea's gone.
00:10:44She was just in my room.
00:10:45Search the maid.
00:10:53I've never been in her room.
00:10:55Someone put this here.
00:10:56No camera.
00:10:57No excuses.
00:10:58Call the police.
00:11:00Theft is theft.
00:11:01There's no thief.
00:11:02This clasp's been loose for weeks.
00:11:04I had Kara take it to the jeweler.
00:11:06She just brought it back.
00:11:07Ask the hall camera if you'd rather not take my word.
00:11:11Unless someone here would like to explain to that camera how it ended up in her pocket.
00:11:17You're getting good at lying.
00:11:18For a maid.
00:11:19I'm starting to wonder why.
00:11:21You could have gone to jail tonight.
00:11:23Because of me, I'd do it again.
00:11:26For you.
00:11:29The rain that night.
00:11:31I wasn't clear.
00:11:32Tonight I am.
00:11:33We can't.
00:11:34Can't.
00:11:35Or scared.
00:11:37He'll destroy you.
00:11:38If he even suspects, you'll lose everything.
00:11:41I won't let you ruin your life for me.
00:11:43I never said I wanted safe.
00:11:45I said I wanted you.
00:11:46When you're done being afraid, you know where I sleep.
00:11:49She wants me.
00:11:50Me.
00:11:51Not my name.
00:11:52Not my money.
00:11:53No one's wanted.
00:11:54Just me.
00:11:56And I sent her away.
00:11:58You know where I sleep.
00:12:00So that's what my wife's been hiding.
00:12:02Kara, about last night.
00:12:04Your tea's at three, ma'am.
00:12:06Anything else?
00:12:06This is what I do to people.
00:12:08Push them out.
00:12:10And now the room's cold and I hate it.
00:12:12Everything's mine to move except her damn cross account.
00:12:15Touch those and the whole thing.
00:12:16Ugh.
00:12:17Forget it.
00:12:17Cross accounts.
00:12:18Babe, what cross?
00:12:21So the wallpaper's hiding a vault.
00:12:24Time to peel her off the wall and see what's behind.
00:12:28Move, wallpaper.
00:12:30You blend in better when you don't talk.
00:12:32I was a coward last night.
00:12:34You deserve better than a woman who runs.
00:12:36I'm sorry.
00:12:39Apologies are easy, ma'am.
00:12:41Staying is hard.
00:12:43That one's wasted pouring tea.
00:12:45Send her down to scrub the cellar, earn her keep.
00:12:48Kara stays on my service.
00:12:50I don't ask the cellar who pours my tea and I don't ask you.
00:12:53My.
00:12:54The wallpaper grew a sperm overnight.
00:12:56Fine.
00:12:57Then do one little thing for me.
00:12:59Routine paperwork.
00:13:01Let's me handle the boring accounts so you don't have to.
00:13:03Sign here, darling.
00:13:05It's just my name doing your paperwork, love.
00:13:08You hate paperwork.
00:13:10It's nothing, darling.
00:13:11Just sign.
00:13:12You trust your husband, don't you?
00:13:14Ma'am, never sign anything you haven't read twice.
00:13:17Especially when someone's this eager.
00:13:19No one asked the help.
00:13:21No, sir.
00:13:22The pen just looked lonely without a lawyer.
00:13:25She's right.
00:13:26I'll have my own lawyer look it over first.
00:13:31Your lawyer.
00:13:33Since when do you have a lawyer?
00:13:35Since today.
00:13:36We're done here.
00:13:37Walk with me.
00:13:41That maid put ideas in my wife's head.
00:13:44Find out exactly who she is.
00:13:47And who sent her.
00:13:49Wire to S-Boss.
00:13:51Offshore transfer.
00:13:52Another.
00:13:52He's bleeding this house dry.
00:13:55What are you doing in here?
00:13:57Mr. Hall cleared this room.
00:13:59Mrs. Hale's orders.
00:14:00Dust the study daily.
00:14:02Call her if my word's not good enough.
00:14:04I'll leave it just why I found it.
00:14:05Mind the dust on your way out.
00:14:07Make it quick.
00:14:09The source line.
00:14:11Every single transfer.
00:14:12Same three words.
00:14:13See trust.
00:14:14The cross files on his desk.
00:14:15See his cross.
00:14:16This money flows out of her family.
00:14:19Not his.
00:14:19Not his money.
00:14:20Hers.
00:14:21This whole empire is hers.
00:14:24And she doesn't even know.
00:14:25Everything Marcus calls his empire was seeded by your family's trust.
00:14:30Every dollar is yours, Miss Cross.
00:14:33No.
00:14:33He built it.
00:14:34He says I can't even run a raffle.
00:14:36He says that so you never look.
00:14:38And while you weren't looking, he's been moving it.
00:14:40Account by account into names that aren't yours.
00:14:43The trust is bleeding, Miss Cross.
00:14:46Someone told me not to sign what I don't understand.
00:14:50I almost signed it all away to him.
00:14:52This was never his.
00:14:53It was always mine.
00:14:56This card seats you on the cross board the day you use it.
00:14:59But Marcus is racing to move the trust into his name.
00:15:02Once it's his, not even cross can claw it back.
00:15:05Don't wait too long.
00:15:05I won't wait.
00:15:07I've waited six years.
00:15:08From tomorrow, you work the guest annex.
00:15:10Don't come to the main house.
00:15:12Take the note.
00:15:13Read it when no one's watching.
00:15:15Cold face for the cameras.
00:15:16Warm word for you.
00:15:18So that's it.
00:15:20You got brave for one rainy night, then ran again.
00:15:24I'm not running.
00:15:26I'm loading the gun.
00:15:28I won't let you stand in front of it.
00:15:30Hate me now.
00:15:31You'll understand when it goes off.
00:15:33That maid's the problem, babe.
00:15:35She fills the wallpaper's head with spine.
00:15:37Cut her loose.
00:15:37For once we agree.
00:15:39She killed my paperwork and put a lawyer in my wife's mouth.
00:15:42That maid's costing me a fortune.
00:15:44Cut her loose.
00:15:45Today.
00:15:46Effective tomorrow.
00:15:48Walk her out personally.
00:15:49I'm sorry, child.
00:15:50This house eats good people.
00:15:53Kara, I...
00:15:54You always stop at the door.
00:15:56The rain.
00:15:56The bedroom.
00:15:57Now this.
00:15:59Right at the door.
00:16:00Go.
00:16:02Please.
00:16:02It's safer out there.
00:16:05I waited.
00:16:06Remember that?
00:16:07I waited for you.
00:16:09No more stopping at the door.
00:16:10It's my turn to walk someone out.
00:16:12His turn.
00:16:13Kara asked me to give you this.
00:16:15Said you'd know when.
00:16:17You deserve the truth.
00:16:18What you do with it is up to you.
00:16:19See?
00:16:20Wire after wire.
00:16:22All going to one woman.
00:16:24Hotel rooms.
00:16:25Her name.
00:16:26Over and over.
00:16:27A maid dug this out of his trash.
00:16:29And saved it for me.
00:16:30Six years he made me small.
00:16:32And a maid I pushed out the door just handed me the knife.
00:16:37Hide it.
00:16:38Smile.
00:16:39He can't know the knife is already in my hand.
00:16:41I hear my little wallpaper hired a lawyer today.
00:16:45Since when do you have secrets from me?
00:16:47Everyone has a lawyer, Marcus.
00:16:49I just remembered I'm a loud one too.
00:16:51Careful.
00:16:52The wallpaper's talking back.
00:16:53I liked you quiet.
00:16:54You liked me useful.
00:16:56There's a difference.
00:16:57I won't be signing anything.
00:16:59Not today.
00:17:00Not ever.
00:17:00Six years she folded on cue.
00:17:02Someone rewired her.
00:17:03The maid.
00:17:04I'm running out of time.
00:17:08Forget her signature.
00:17:10Move the cross trust into my name in 72 hours.
00:17:13Forge it if you have to.
00:17:14I'll cover it.
00:17:15And find the maid.
00:17:17Wherever she went, she knows too much to walk around free.
00:17:20Why hunt the maid?
00:17:22The wallpaper's been sneaking off lately.
00:17:24Just follow her.
00:17:26She'll lead me right to her little pet.
00:17:31This time I didn't stop at the door.
00:17:33I came after you.
00:17:35You came to say what?
00:17:36Sorry again?
00:17:37I didn't push you away because I was scared of you.
00:17:40I pushed you out because I'm about to burn his whole world down.
00:17:43And I won't let you catch fire.
00:17:45You weren't running.
00:17:47You were shielding me.
00:17:48I have his receipts now.
00:17:50Because of you.
00:17:52Come back.
00:17:53Not as my maid.
00:17:54As the only person I trust.
00:17:56Follow the wallpaper all the way here.
00:17:58And look what she's hiding.
00:18:00Babe is going to love this.
00:18:02Pretty picture.
00:18:03Wallpaper.
00:18:04Pay up and fire the maid.
00:18:06Or Marcus sees this tonight.
00:18:08You followed me, trespassed, and photographed me through a window.
00:18:12That's stalking.
00:18:14Want to explain that to Marcus too?
00:18:16You think a fancy comeback saves you?
00:18:19He'll throw you both out!
00:18:21Then let him try.
00:18:22I'm done being threatened in my own house.
00:18:26Can't squeeze the wallpaper.
00:18:27She's grown teeth.
00:18:29But this squeeze the wallpaper.
00:18:30She's gray something.
00:18:31I don't sell it to her.
00:18:33I gift it to Marcus.
00:18:34Loyalty he can see.
00:18:36That's worth more than her hush money.
00:18:38A gift, babe.
00:18:39Your precious wife and the maid through a window.
00:18:42I could have sold it to her.
00:18:43I brought it to you instead.
00:18:46So that's what rewired her.
00:18:48I won't throw her out.
00:18:49Not yet.
00:18:50I'll set the stage.
00:18:51And watch what my wife really is.
00:18:54I'll be gone all night.
00:18:55Kara, keep my wife company.
00:18:58Don't react.
00:18:59He never sends every servant away.
00:19:00The vase was moved.
00:19:01He wants us alone.
00:19:02And he's watching behind that vase.
00:19:04Fetch my tea.
00:19:05Then dust the library.
00:19:06And mind your place in this house.
00:19:08Yes, ma'am.
00:19:09Right away, ma'am.
00:19:10Nothing.
00:19:11Cold as ever.
00:19:13Either I'm wrong.
00:19:15Or they're better at this than I thought.
00:19:18Watching won't work.
00:19:19Time to squeeze.
00:19:20Push hard enough.
00:19:21And the wife shows what she'll burn down to protect.
00:19:26Sign here.
00:19:27We log your true signature as a legal baseline so any forgery can be measured against it later.
00:19:33The loop C matches your father's records.
00:19:37Identity confirmed.
00:19:38The board's been quietly building a case on Marcus for months.
00:19:41But only a verified cross opens this door.
00:19:44He's kept you away from it for six years.
00:19:46Today he's busy stealing.
00:19:48So today you walk in.
00:19:51That's my signature on a transfer I never saw.
00:19:54And this one.
00:19:55And this one.
00:19:56Years of them.
00:19:57Look.
00:19:58My real signature loops the C.
00:20:01His forgery doesn't.
00:20:02He didn't even get it right.
00:20:04But the trail stops here.
00:20:06Someone scrubbed the receiving end.
00:20:08The forgeries prove his hand.
00:20:09But without the offshore account that caught the money the board can stall.
00:20:14The latest one's dated this week.
00:20:17He's forging my name to grab the whole trust before I wake up.
00:20:21He didn't just steal money.
00:20:23He stole six years of my life.
00:20:26Now I take it all back.
00:20:29This puts him in prison.
00:20:31Almost.
00:20:32I still need the account that caught the money.
00:20:34And there's only one person who can get it out of Siena.
00:20:37Kara.
00:20:39B let me up the service stairs.
00:20:41Marcus is out till noon.
00:20:42I can't be seen here long.
00:20:44You can't fight him from inside this house alone.
00:20:47Let me be your eyes where you can't go.
00:20:50I have the forgeries.
00:20:51We still need the offshore account that received them.
00:20:54Siena brags.
00:20:55I'll get the account from her.
00:20:57You think I'll do.
00:21:00When this is over.
00:21:02We finish that conversation at the door.
00:21:05The wife and the maid.
00:21:06Heads together plotting.
00:21:08Boss will want this.
00:21:09First time I'm stealing something from this house.
00:21:12Thanks for the right reason.
00:21:14Sign.
00:21:14Be a good wife.
00:21:15And your maid stays healthy.
00:21:17Refuse.
00:21:18And she disappears.
00:21:19Choose.
00:21:20Touch her.
00:21:21And the forged signatures you've been using to rob the cross trust go straight to the board.
00:21:26You've seen the files.
00:21:27Of course you have.
00:21:28The maid again.
00:21:30Take the maid.
00:21:31Now.
00:21:31Lock her downstairs.
00:21:33Vivian.
00:21:34Don't sign anything for me.
00:21:35Do you hear me?
00:21:36Don't you dare.
00:21:38Want her out?
00:21:39Sign by morning.
00:21:41You nobody near that padlock until she signs.
00:21:44Tick tock darling.
00:21:46He bolted a new padlock on the front of that door.
00:21:49But that storeroom has a servant passage.
00:21:52And I've held the master key to its old door for 30 years.
00:21:55He never knew it was there.
00:21:57Mr. Hale wants you in the front hall this minute.
00:21:59His words not mine.
00:22:00I'll mind the door and the food till you're back.
00:22:02Go on before he asks twice.
00:22:10Don't touch his padlock.
00:22:11We don't need it.
00:22:13This storeroom has an old service door.
00:22:16I've held its key for 30 years.
00:22:20He never knew it was here.
00:22:24You came through the side.
00:22:25You didn't sign.
00:22:26Tell me you didn't sign.
00:22:27I didn't.
00:22:28I came to get you out.
00:22:30Not to pay his ransom.
00:22:31You always stopped at the door.
00:22:32Tonight you found a way through it.
00:22:35For me.
00:22:37When this is over, we walk out the front door.
00:22:39Together.
00:22:40Now move.
00:22:43Service stairs are clear.
00:22:44Two minutes.
00:22:46Go.
00:22:47Plant this on the maid's record.
00:22:48And stop whining.
00:22:49You're useful, not special.
00:22:52Useful, not special.
00:22:53Third time this month.
00:22:55Every dirty job lands on me.
00:22:56Every win goes to him.
00:22:58One day this whole thing burns.
00:23:00And he'll have my prints on all of it.
00:23:02He hands me the dirty jobs.
00:23:03And a login.
00:23:05A restricted one.
00:23:06But today that's enough.
00:23:08His admin window's still open.
00:23:10I've got seconds.
00:23:11Can't grab it all on this login.
00:23:13Take the core.
00:23:14The forgery.
00:23:15And one transfer.
00:23:16Enough to save my own neck.
00:23:18The rest, another day.
00:23:21Done, babe.
00:23:23Just remember, whatever happens, I only ever followed orders.
00:23:27Your orders.
00:23:28It's not the whole thing yet, but it's enough to bargain.
00:23:32I'm not going down for you, Marcus.
00:23:34Not for useful.
00:23:35The wallpaper risked everything to get that maid out.
00:23:38People fight like that.
00:23:40Usually win.
00:23:42Maybe I'm on the wrong side.
00:23:45For six years, a man forged my name to lot this trust.
00:23:49I'm Vivian Cross.
00:23:51I'm here to take it back.
00:23:53Aldridge already ran these to the lab.
00:23:56Forgery blagged.
00:23:56Report attached.
00:23:58Mrs. Cross, the board freezes his authority immediately.
00:24:02This loops the sea.
00:24:04My real signature.
00:24:06The one he could never forge.
00:24:10Declined.
00:24:11Run it again.
00:24:14Frozen.
00:24:15All of it.
00:24:16All of it.
00:24:17Who has the authority to freeze my accounts?
00:24:24Freeze her personal accounts.
00:24:26The ones outside the trust.
00:24:28Where she can't hide behind that board.
00:24:31Every favor I'm owed in this city.
00:24:33Call them in.
00:24:34Headline.
00:24:35Billionaire's wife caught with the maid.
00:24:36She freezes my money.
00:24:38I'll bury her name.
00:24:42They blurred my face, but not the story.
00:24:46He's turning us into a punchline to scare me quiet.
00:24:54He's betting you'll crawl back into the wallpaper to make it stop.
00:24:57Will you?
00:24:59No.
00:25:01He want your lugs as he wants to control the stories.
00:25:04Then I'll tell it myself as Vivian Cross.
00:25:06Out loud.
00:25:08Mrs. Hale, is it true you're sleeping with your maid?
00:25:11How long has the affair?
00:25:14Back up.
00:25:15Print one more lie or she'll own your little paper by Friday.
00:25:20It's all right.
00:25:21I'm done hiding behind anyone.
00:25:23You want a story?
00:25:24Tomorrow at the cross board, I will give you the real one.
00:25:27Forge signatures.
00:25:28Stolen trust.
00:25:29Six years of it.
00:25:30Tomorrow you will meet the real Vivian Cross.
00:25:34She is not scaring back into the wall.
00:25:36She is coming for the throne.
00:25:40This is a closed board meeting.
00:25:42Wallpaper does not get a vote.
00:25:43This wallpaper holds the controlling stare.
00:25:46I am Vivian Cross.
00:25:47And this trust was never yours to move.
00:25:50That is the cross heiress.
00:25:51Gentlemen, she is confused.
00:25:53Let us continue the vote.
00:25:55For six years, he forged my name to drain this trust.
00:25:58Here, every forged signature, every transfer.
00:26:01He even faked the loop C.
00:26:03The forensic lab finished comparing these against the family archive.
00:26:06Reports right here.
00:26:08Every signature flag.
00:26:12Real signature loops the C.
00:26:14His doesn't.
00:26:15Even to the eye, it doesn't match the archive.
00:26:20It's all here, page after page.
00:26:22He's been bleeding the trust for years.
00:26:24Forgery confirmed against both the lab report and our archive.
00:26:27The transfer is void.
00:26:29Control regerds to Ms. Cross.
00:26:31Effective now.
00:26:31You think a signature undoes six years?
00:26:33I am Hale.
00:26:34This room belongs to me.
00:26:36Built with my family's money and my forged name.
00:26:39You didn't build it.
00:26:40You stole it.
00:26:46She wants to flip the board.
00:26:48Then I burn her pawn.
00:26:50That theft set up on the maid?
00:26:52Make it real.
00:26:53Call the police.
00:26:54Tonight.
00:26:55Young lady, the Hale name has stood a century.
00:26:58You will not shame it with a scandal and a power grab.
00:27:02Behave.
00:27:03Drop the lawsuits.
00:27:05Stay the dutiful wife.
00:27:06And the family will let Marcus keep a fair share.
00:27:09Generous.
00:27:10No.
00:27:11Before you defend the Hale name, Edward, look who's been paying for it.
00:27:15My father's cross money has propped up the Hale name.
00:27:20Since before your boy ever married me.
00:27:23I pull cross funding.
00:27:25And the whole estate, the name, all of it.
00:27:27Gone in a quarter.
00:27:28So tell me again who should behave.
00:27:31I came to protect the family, not to go bankrupt for Marcus's thief.
00:27:35Boy, you forged her name.
00:27:37You're on your own.
00:27:39Grandfather, you can't just...
00:27:41I can.
00:27:42And I am.
00:27:43Clean up your own mess, boy.
00:27:48If anyone asks, the forge is the maid's frame.
00:27:51All of it was your idea.
00:27:52You acted alone.
00:27:54Got it?
00:27:55My idea, I recorded every order you gave me.
00:27:59Forge it.
00:27:59Frame her.
00:28:00Lock the maid up.
00:28:02All in your voice.
00:28:04Touch me and it goes public in one tap.
00:28:07You called me useful, not special.
00:28:10Watch how useful I am to your wife.
00:28:13Everything he did, it's all here.
00:28:15In his own voice.
00:28:16I want a witness deal.
00:28:18A soft landing.
00:28:19You helped him hurt us.
00:28:21A deal, not forgiveness.
00:28:23Testify truthfully, and I'll recommend leniency.
00:28:26Lie once, it's off.
00:28:28Take the maid.
00:28:29Lock her downstairs.
00:28:31Now I have everything I need to put you away, Marcus.
00:28:34Cara Dylan?
00:28:35You're under arrest, grand theft, and fraud.
00:28:40Mr. Hale filed the complaint.
00:28:45That watch trail is dirty.
00:28:48Pull the card that bought it before you cuff anyone.
00:28:50Vivian, don't you dare trade the trust to get me out.
00:28:53Stick to the plan.
00:28:54You do the thinking, I'll take the hit.
00:28:56She rots in a cell unless you sign the trust back to me.
00:28:59Your move, Cross.
00:29:00I'm not trading anything.
00:29:01I'm proving her innocent before they finish booking her.
00:29:07Aldridge, bring Sienna's recordings and the watch's real purchase record.
00:29:12Meet me at the precinct.
00:29:13We overturn this tonight.
00:29:18Your stolen watch was bought on Sienna Voss's card.
00:29:22Receipt, date, store camera.
00:29:24Cara never touched it.
00:29:26Plant this on the maid's record.
00:29:28That's Mr. Hale ordering the frame.
00:29:30Voice verified.
00:29:33Complaints fabricated.
00:29:34Ms. Doyle, you're free to go.
00:29:36I told you.
00:29:37No more stopping at the door.
00:29:41You didn't file a report, Marcus.
00:29:42You filed a confession.
00:29:44Forgery, false arrest, perjury.
00:29:46Mr. Hale, we'll need you to cooperate with our investigation.
00:29:48This way.
00:29:49Move everything offshore tonight.
00:29:50I'm not sticking around for their investigation.
00:29:55He's running.
00:29:56Of course he is.
00:29:57Freeze every account the trust funds or guarantees.
00:30:01Pull the collateral on the rest.
00:30:03Now.
00:30:03Declined.
00:30:05Declined.
00:30:05The credit line, too?
00:30:06What the hell is happening?
00:30:08Every dollar you move runs on my trust's money or its guarantee.
00:30:11Pull that and the bank's risk desk freezes the rest on its own.
00:30:14I'm the source, Marcus.
00:30:15I just turned you off.
00:30:18Frozen.
00:30:19Every account, frozen.
00:30:22Available, zero.
00:30:24I'm Marcus Hale.
00:30:25I can't have zero.
00:30:26Mr. Hale, every account the trust funds or guarantees is frozen by its beneficial owner.
00:30:31Your personal accounts lost that collateral, so our risk desk froze in them, too.
00:30:35Available balance?
00:30:36None.
00:30:37Leave me, and I'll make sure the whole world remembers you as the heiress who cheated with
00:30:42the help.
00:30:45You already tried that headline.
00:30:47It didn't scare me back into the wall.
00:30:50It won't now.
00:30:52So let's make it official.
00:30:54I want a divorce, Marcus.
00:30:57And while we're dividing things, for vidjury, false imprisonment, the frame-up, we'll settle
00:31:04all of it, together.
00:31:06I'll fight this.
00:31:07Half of everything is mine.
00:31:09There is no half.
00:31:10You'll see Monday.
00:31:11My lawyers come Monday.
00:31:13For six years, you walked people out this door.
00:31:17This time, I walk you out.
00:31:21Six-year marriage.
00:31:22We're entitled to half of all marital assets.
00:31:25That's the law.
00:31:27Every asset predates the marriage and sits in the cross-trust, with an iron-clad non-chameleon
00:31:33clause.
00:31:35None of it is marital.
00:31:37Two lines here.
00:31:38The trust principle is cross-property.
00:31:41The clause keeps it from canalding.
00:31:44The gains he built in his own name during the marriage, those would be divisible.
00:31:51Would be, but he forged my signature to move those gains.
00:31:54That's not snive-visible marital property.
00:31:56It's stolen, and it's a crime.
00:31:58Restitution, not division.
00:31:59Confirmed.
00:32:00These assets must be returned to the cross-trust.
00:32:03Mr. Hale has no claim to marital division.
00:32:05This is robbery!
00:32:06Half is!
00:32:07Half of nothing is nothing.
00:32:08Everything in your name was always mine.
00:32:10Now it's just...
00:32:11going home.
00:32:13Return the stolen gains.
00:32:14Add the freeze on the rest, pending the criminal case.
00:32:17Mr. Hale's personal net worth is negative.
00:32:21You don't walk away empty.
00:32:25You walk away owing the trust.
00:32:29My house, my deed, my entrance hall, the cameras are legal.
00:32:34He always loses control right here.
00:32:37Good.
00:32:38Give me that drive.
00:32:40I'm not going to prison, too.
00:32:42Hand it over!
00:32:44You want to get to her?
00:32:45You go through me first.
00:32:50Still not moving.
00:32:52You put your hands on her.
00:32:54On camera.
00:32:55You just handed me your last charge, Marcus.
00:32:58This whole house is on camera now.
00:33:00I made sure.
00:33:01Assault?
00:33:02On the record.
00:33:03That's one more charge.
00:33:06You called them before I even...
00:33:09I called them the moment you blocked the door.
00:33:12Goodbye, Marcus.
00:33:13Vivian, please.
00:33:14Drop the charges.
00:33:15Six years of marriage has to count for something.
00:33:19Six years you called me wallpaper.
00:33:22Forged my name.
00:33:23Cheated.
00:33:25Locked up the woman I love.
00:33:27Now you want the marriage to count?
00:33:29The woman you love.
00:33:30You say that out loud now, the press will...
00:33:32Let them write it.
00:33:33I'm not hiding her anymore.
00:33:35I'm done being ashamed.
00:33:36Forgery.
00:33:37Embezzlement.
00:33:38False imprisonment.
00:33:39Filing a false report.
00:33:40Assault.
00:33:41It's all documented with his own voice and signature.
00:33:44The forgery and embezzlement are airtight.
00:33:46The assault.
00:33:47Your in-home footage.
00:33:49We'll verify it's admissible before we lead with it.
00:33:51But it's enough to charge today.
00:33:53People v. Marcus Hale.
00:33:59Bank pulled the loans this morning.
00:34:01Severance won't even clear.
00:34:02Grab your stuff and go.
00:34:04Cross Holdings made offers to every senior exec this week.
00:34:07Miss Cross moves fast.
00:34:09Smart money jumps first.
00:34:10We were loyal to the money, Marcus.
00:34:12It's over there now.
00:34:13I made you.
00:34:14You don't walk out on me.
00:34:16You didn't make me, Marcus.
00:34:18The Cross money did.
00:34:19And it just changed address-tress.
00:34:22Emergency meeting, everyone.
00:34:24Now.
00:34:25Where is everyone?
00:34:37I can't even get into my own office.
00:34:41It was never mine.
00:34:42Vivian, please.
00:34:44Six years.
00:34:46We were happy once.
00:34:48Drop the charges.
00:34:49For what we had.
00:34:51What we had.
00:34:53Want me to read it back to you?
00:34:55I can list 30 entries.
00:34:57I read you that list at the DA's door.
00:34:59I won't perform it twice.
00:35:01There was no us, Marcus.
00:35:02There was you.
00:35:04And the people you used.
00:35:06Fine.
00:35:06Bury me.
00:35:07And the scandal buries you too.
00:35:09The heiress and her maid.
00:35:11I'll drag you both down.
00:35:13Drag me down with what?
00:35:15Threats need leverage.
00:35:17No money.
00:35:18No company.
00:35:19No name.
00:35:19Everything you could have thrown at me is already mine.
00:35:22You're not a threat, Marcus.
00:35:24You're a defendant.
00:35:29Here.
00:35:30Your six-year timeline.
00:35:32I'm on my way to my lawyers.
00:35:34Saves me handing it to them twice.
00:35:36A keepsake.
00:35:38Goodbye.
00:35:44Sienna, recant.
00:35:45Say you acted alone and I'll...
00:35:47We go down together or not at all.
00:35:50Too late.
00:35:51Signed this an hour ago.
00:35:52I testify.
00:35:53I walk with a slap on the risk.
00:35:55You?
00:35:56You rot.
00:35:57After everything between us, you do this to me.
00:35:59Everything between us.
00:36:01There was never anything.
00:36:04You called me useful.
00:36:06Not special.
00:36:07But here's the truth, Marcus.
00:36:09You treat everyone the same.
00:36:11You never loved anyone.
00:36:12You can't.
00:36:13Sienna.
00:36:15Save it for your lawyer.
00:36:16See you in court.
00:36:20Oh, and Marcus.
00:36:22Turns out I was special.
00:36:24Special enough to bury you.
00:36:29Well done reclaiming the trust, Vivian.
00:36:32The family is proud.
00:36:34Now, about this maid situation.
00:36:39I sit on the family board, Vivian.
00:36:42The trust is yours.
00:36:43But the cross name, the family's backing, the reputation applause that lets you carry it,
00:36:48that the board can revoke.
00:36:50One whiff of this scandal, and you keep your money and lose the name.
00:36:54End it.
00:36:55Hide her.
00:36:55Hide her again.
00:36:57Aunt Margaret.
00:36:58Kara is...
00:37:00Staff.
00:37:01Let's not discuss this here.
00:37:02Staff.
00:37:03Right?
00:37:05Good girl.
00:37:08Next Saturday, the family dinner.
00:37:10Bring a suitable escort, or the board votes to strip the cross name and its backing from you.
00:37:18You beat a billionaire to take back everything.
00:37:23But you still can't hold my hand in your own living room.
00:37:32Vivian, this is Charles.
00:37:35Old family, impeccable.
00:37:37A suitable escort.
00:37:39Smile.
00:37:40Actually, I did bring someone suitable.
00:37:44Give me one moment.
00:37:51Everyone, this is Kara Doyle.
00:37:54Not my staff.
00:37:58The woman I love.
00:37:59You held my hand in front of all of them.
00:38:02I didn't take cross back to be caged by it again.
00:38:05I spent six years small and ashamed.
00:38:09Never again.
00:38:13Convene the board tomorrow morning.
00:38:15We're stripping Vivian of the cross name and the family's backing.
00:38:18She's unfit to carry it.
00:38:20I move to strip Vivian of the cross name and the family's backing.
00:38:24Conduct unbecoming a cross.
00:38:26That much the board can do.
00:38:33All in favor?
00:38:34Go ahead.
00:38:35Vote it down.
00:38:36The trust is still mine.
00:38:38Personally.
00:38:40So strip the name.
00:38:42And the second you do, that name is worth nothing.
00:38:45Because the money under it walks out with me.
00:38:51I'd rather take my trust and go than be caged by your blessing.
00:38:56You'll keep the cross name.
00:38:58An empty shell broke inside a week.
00:39:00That's the trade.
00:39:02Strip her name and she takes the money.
00:39:05Then crosses just letterhead on an empty account.
00:39:10Margaret, we are not voting ourselves bankrupt to win a point.
00:39:15Motion withdrawn.
00:39:19Kara to the next dinner.
00:39:21Then the family next.
00:39:21Then the family will manage.
00:39:24It's done.
00:39:25No more hiding you behind anything.
00:39:27Come on.
00:39:28This time we walk out the front door.
00:39:30Together.
00:39:30Five counts.
00:39:32Embezzlement.
00:39:32Forgery.
00:39:33False imprisonment.
00:39:34Filing a false report.
00:39:35Assault.
00:39:36The grand jury indicted.
00:39:37Marcus Hale.
00:39:38Surprised you still have my number.
00:39:41We did a lot of deals once.
00:39:43I'd take it for a half million retainer up front.
00:39:45Wire it today, Mr. Hale.
00:39:47I can't.
00:39:47My accounts are frozen.
00:39:49Everything's frozen.
00:39:52Then I can't help you.
00:39:53Good luck.
00:39:55I asked for a plea deal.
00:39:57They said no.
00:39:58The evidence is airtight.
00:40:00His own voice.
00:40:01His own forgeries.
00:40:02How old are you?
00:40:03You ever actually won a felony case?
00:40:07I'll read the file by morning, Mr. Hale.
00:40:09That's all you've got.
00:40:16Your Honor, I've got one shot, so I'll take it.
00:40:18Miss Cross is an heiress scorned, fabricating charges to destroy her ex-husband for the sake of her maid.
00:40:23He planted a necklace on me, locked me in a cellar, filed a fake thief report.
00:40:29I'm not his wife's revenge, I'm his victim.
00:40:31The stolen watch, bought on his mistress's card.
00:40:35Receipt, store footage, it's in evidence.
00:40:39The people play Exhibit 9.
00:40:42Plant this on the maid.
00:40:44Lock her downstairs.
00:40:46That recording was edited.
00:40:48Voice print verified, unedited chain of custody intact.
00:40:51You can call her biased.
00:40:53You can't make his voice lie.
00:40:55Exhibit 9 is admitted.
00:40:57Closing statements and verdict tomorrow morning.
00:40:59Court is adjourned.
00:41:02He told me to forge her signature.
00:41:05Plant evidence on the maid.
00:41:07Lock her up.
00:41:09Every order came from him.
00:41:11It's all on the recordings.
00:41:12I already turned over the DA.
00:41:17The forged loop C matches the defendant's hand, not Miss Cross's.
00:41:22Conclusive.
00:41:24Do something.
00:41:26With what?
00:41:27They have your voice, your handwriting, and your mistress.
00:41:31There's nothing left to argue.
00:41:33On all five counts.
00:41:35Forgery.
00:41:36Embezzlement.
00:41:37False imprisonment.
00:41:38False report assault.
00:41:39We find the defendant guilty.
00:41:44It's really over.
00:41:47The first half.
00:41:48The rest.
00:41:49We live.
00:41:51Sentencing tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:41:53Remound the defendant.
00:41:57On the counts proven, the court sentences you to prison
00:42:01and orders full restitution of all misappropriated assets.
00:42:05All assets revert to the cross-trust.
00:42:08Defendant's personal net worth, negative.
00:42:12This was all mine.
00:42:14The house.
00:42:14The company.
00:42:15All of it.
00:42:16Mine.
00:42:18It was never yours, Marcus.
00:42:20It was always mine.
00:42:23You just borrowed a life and forgot to pay it back.
00:42:28Vivian!
00:42:29Goodbye, Marcus.
00:42:34So, what happens now?
00:42:38Now we live.
00:42:39Out the front door.
00:42:41Together, like I promised.
00:42:51I didn't call you to cry, Dex.
00:42:55Find this girl.
00:42:57Find the maid's soft spot.
00:42:59That batch of old files from your private safe, I kept a copy.
00:43:03This is from the background check you ran before you hired her.
00:43:06You always vet the help.
00:43:07Relative section.
00:43:09Same last name as your maid, Doyle.
00:43:14So, the maid's not just a maid.
00:43:16Who'd she come for?
00:43:17Me?
00:43:17No.
00:43:18Someone before you.
00:43:19Someone she lost.
00:43:20A relative she never lists.
00:43:22She took my house on purpose.
00:43:24Anyone who comes for a reason has a weakness.
00:43:27And hers is right here.
00:43:29There's a name on the back.
00:43:31Mia.
00:43:33Everybody's got a soft spot.
00:43:34Hers has a name.
00:43:36Find out what happened to this Mia.
00:43:38I lost the money.
00:43:38But if I've got her soft spot, I can still win this.
00:43:46Your file listed her.
00:43:48Mia Doyle, sister.
00:43:50Took me a few days of old news to dig up what happened to her.
00:43:54Ring a bell now?
00:43:58Where did you get that?
00:43:59Put it away.
00:44:01Marcus doesn't want money anymore.
00:44:02He wants to watch you hurt.
00:44:04And this name, it hurts.
00:44:07Back off.
00:44:08You want to touch her?
00:44:09You go through Cross first.
00:44:11And Cross owns the building you're standing under.
00:44:14Fine.
00:44:15But ask her yourself, Miss Cross.
00:44:17Ask her how Mia died.
00:44:23Kara, who's Mia?
00:44:26Don't.
00:44:27Please.
00:44:28Not tonight.
00:44:30Aldridge, pull the lobby cameras.
00:44:32Log every word he said.
00:44:33I want a restraining order filed by morning.
00:44:38You don't even know what this is about yet.
00:44:40Why are you fighting it?
00:44:44Because someone's hurting you.
00:44:47I don't need the rest to know that's enough.
00:44:55Restraining order.
00:44:5650 meters.
00:44:57One more step and that's a criminal charge.
00:45:02Freeze all the money you want, Miss Cross.
00:45:05Marcus still has one thing money can't touch.
00:45:07Her past.
00:45:09This isn't over.
00:45:10You don't have to tell me today.
00:45:13But I'm not letting you carry this alone anymore.
00:45:22Her name was Mia.
00:45:23She was my sister.
00:45:25Mia was the soft one.
00:45:26A waitress.
00:45:28Saving for art school.
00:45:30A rich, married man told her she was special.
00:45:37Bought her things.
00:45:39Made promises.
00:45:40When she got inconvenient, he dropped her.
00:45:42And to cover himself, he called her a liar.
00:45:45A gold digger.
00:45:46Killed her name.
00:45:47Her job.
00:45:48All of it.
00:45:51I was working two jobs.
00:45:53I wasn't there.
00:45:54She didn't make it through it and I wasn't there.
00:45:57So I swore I'd never stand by again.
00:46:00I took the hail job because I knew what Marcus was.
00:46:04Same kind of man.
00:46:05I couldn't walk past it twice.
00:46:11You stood in front of a stranger.
00:46:13Mia and took all of it.
00:46:15Now it's my turn.
00:46:16What was his name, Kara?
00:46:18The man who did this to Mia.
00:46:22Gerald Crane.
00:46:23But he's untouchable.
00:46:25Rich, respectable.
00:46:27Crane's been circling cross money for years.
00:46:29He's closer than you'd ever think.
00:46:30Untouchable to you?
00:46:32To me?
00:46:33He's a phone call.
00:46:36You took the fall for a stranger.
00:46:38Now watch what a cross does for the woman she loves.
00:46:42Mia Doyle wasn't the only one.
00:46:45Was she, Mr. Crane?
00:46:46Same script every time.
00:46:48Seduce.
00:46:49Discard.
00:46:49Then call her a liar.
00:46:51We found the others.
00:46:53Whoever you are, name a number.
00:46:55I'm a respectable man with a lot of friends.
00:46:57I'm Vivian Cross.
00:47:02Cross, but your company's debt this morning.
00:47:05Your investors and your wife are taking my calls.
00:47:09Your respectability ends today.
00:47:12What do you want?
00:47:14You destroyed a girl's name.
00:47:16Today you give it back.
00:47:17Word by word.
00:47:18Assigned public retraction.
00:47:20Full admission.
00:47:24For Mia.
00:47:25And for every name you tried to bury.
00:47:28Her name.
00:47:29It's clean.
00:47:33I saw the retraction.
00:47:35He did the same to me.
00:47:36I never thought anyone could touch him.
00:47:43The board will name you head of the trust.
00:47:47On one condition.
00:47:49The Doyle matter stays discreet.
00:47:54I reclaimed this trust.
00:47:56Marcus is in prison.
00:47:59Cranes finished.
00:48:00I did that.
00:48:02Not the board.
00:48:03I am the strongest head this family has had in a generation.
00:48:07You don't get to set conditions.
00:48:09And I won't do what I did in that living room ever again.
00:48:12I won't send the woman I love out the back door to protect a name.
00:48:17I was made to give someone up once for this name.
00:48:21I told myself it was strength.
00:48:23It was just fear.
00:48:24Family dinner.
00:48:25Saturday.
00:48:26You'll come through the front door, Miss Doyle.
00:48:29The cross name has survived worse than love.
00:48:33Miss Cross, it's Marcus.
00:48:35Something's moving inside the prison.
00:48:36Dex was seen near him again.
00:48:39Tonight, at the dinner, hand the maid the file.
00:48:43Tell Viviana, confess she framed me, or it goes to every paper by morning.
00:48:49Easy.
00:48:50Just here to deliver a message.
00:48:52Marcus says he's going down, but he's taking you both with him.
00:48:55This file says Vivian framed him.
00:48:57Forged, sure.
00:48:59But mud sticks.
00:49:03Tell her to confess and let him out, or it's in every headline.
00:49:08So Marcus has a phone inside, and you broke a restraining order to be here.
00:49:13You two just keep handing us rope.
00:49:16Recording?
00:49:17Nice try.
00:49:18No proof, no game.
00:49:20Answer before dinner ends, or it runs.
00:49:26Take the phone, Dex.
00:49:28This is a cross garage.
00:49:29Every camera in here feeds straight to her.
00:49:31He wants an answer.
00:49:32He's getting one.
00:49:34Just not the one he thinks.
00:49:39He's got a phone inside.
00:49:40Dex broke the order.
00:49:41Showed me a forged file.
00:49:44I know.
00:49:44The garage has had cross security on it all night.
00:49:47The phone he grabbed was bait.
00:49:49The real recordings on the garage system.
00:49:51And on you.
00:49:52You walked him into a confession.
00:49:54That forged file is the gift.
00:49:56Dex holding it proves Marcus contacted him illegally from prison.
00:49:59Ordered forgery.
00:50:00Tampered with a case.
00:50:01He didn't threaten us.
00:50:02He indicted himself.
00:50:04Dex Moran.
00:50:05Violation of a restraining order.
00:50:06Possession of forged evidence.
00:50:07Conspiracy.
00:50:08You're under arrest.
00:50:09Wait!
00:50:09This was all Marcus.
00:50:11He called the shots.
00:50:12I've got the messages.
00:50:12You thought you were squeezing a confession out of me.
00:50:15You were giving one.
00:50:17We'll be adding charges against Marcus Hale.
00:50:19Solicitation from custody.
00:50:20Obstruction.
00:50:21Evidence tapering.
00:50:22Last loose end.
00:50:23Cut.
00:50:24On the additional counts.
00:50:25Solicitation from custody.
00:50:27Obstruction.
00:50:27Evidence tapering.
00:50:29All proven.
00:50:29Your sentence is extended substantially.
00:50:32Get me Dex.
00:50:33Get me Sienna.
00:50:33Get me anyone!
00:50:35Dex testified against you.
00:50:37Sienna's gone.
00:50:38There's no one left to call, Mr. Hale.
00:50:40I didn't come to gloat Marcus.
00:50:42I came to close the book.
00:50:43Why did everyone leave?
00:50:45The money, the company, even the people.
00:50:49Why is there nothing left?
00:50:50Because to you, everyone was just useful.
00:50:53The money and the power I took back.
00:50:55The people.
00:50:56You drove every single one of them out yourself.
00:51:04Coffee.
00:51:05Then I'll do the windows.
00:51:05Kara, there's no one to perform for anymore.
00:51:08Sit.
00:51:10The only person you wait on in this house is yourself.
00:51:14You're not the help here.
00:51:16You're home.
00:51:17Marcus's lawyer spit it at me in open court.
00:51:20The maid who stole his wife.
00:51:21You didn't steal a wife.
00:51:23You gave one back to herself.
00:51:27You've been somewhere else for days.
00:51:29Phone calls you hang up when I walk in.
00:51:31Is it Marcus?
00:51:31Is something wrong?
00:51:33Nothing's wrong.
00:51:36For once, something's very, very right.
00:51:39Trust me one more time.
00:51:42We did everything in the shadows to survive.
00:51:45Time to do one thing right in front of the whole world.
00:51:48For the record, on live broadcast, I am Vivian Cross.
00:51:52The Cross Empire was never Marcus Hales.
00:51:54It was always mine.
00:51:55But I didn't take it back alone.
00:51:58I took it back because one person looked at a woman everyone called a doormath and saw someone worth becoming
00:52:03again.
00:52:05Kara Doylin.
00:52:07Not my maid.
00:52:08Not my secret.
00:52:09The woman I love, and I'm done hiding her.
00:52:12I once sent you out the back door to protect a name.
00:52:16I hid you, hid myself, my whole life, never again.
00:52:20Today, in front of everyone.
00:52:23Kara, will you marry me?
00:52:26You took down a billionaire and took back an empire, and you're the one down on one knee?
00:52:32Get up.
00:52:34Yes.
00:52:35God, yes.
00:52:36The Cross name has survived worse than love.
00:52:39That stunt cost you, Vivian.
00:52:41Three major partners are spooked.
00:52:42Give up a board sheet for stability before they all walk.
00:52:45Spooked?
00:52:46I have their names.
00:52:47The three who walked left a gap filled by mourning, by investors who like a CEO with nothing left to
00:52:53hide.
00:52:54And the maid?
00:52:55You really think the market respects a CEO who plays house with the help?
00:53:00I spent six years carrying trays at parties.
00:53:03Men like you forget the staff exists it.
00:53:06I know the woman your fund laid off three months pregnant to dress up a quarter.
00:53:11She still takes my calls.
00:53:12Your funds overexposed in the exact sector Cross just exit.
00:53:17Check your own books before you mock mine.
00:53:19You bet I'd go soft because I love someone.
00:53:22My board added two new names this morning.
00:53:24Want me to read them to you?
00:53:25The door's behind you.
00:53:27Someone tougher than me will come.
00:53:32Sienna's being released.
00:53:33Early.
00:53:37Whatever you came to pull, Sienna, you're outnumbered and outclassed now.
00:53:41I'm not here to fight.
00:53:42The day I testified, I finally saw him for what he is.
00:53:45And me.
00:53:47I don't want revenge.
00:53:48I want out of this city.
00:53:50I'm not asking for forgiveness.
00:53:52I've got my own way out.
00:53:54The witness relocation stipative.
00:53:56Plus what I'd quietly saved before any of this.
00:53:58I just don't want to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life.
00:54:03I don't hate you anymore, Sienna.
00:54:06But you and I end here.
00:54:08In writing.
00:54:09Sign a mutual non-interference.
00:54:11And we never cross paths again.
00:54:13Fair.
00:54:14You won everything the honest way.
00:54:16I never understood that until it was too late.
00:54:19One more thing.
00:54:19I was in that house enough to see it.
00:54:22The housekeeper, Bess covered for you two more than once.
00:54:25Don't let her slip out unthanked.
00:54:29Bess.
00:54:30Bags packed?
00:54:31No goodbye?
00:54:32After everything?
00:54:36You're public now.
00:54:38A cross and her bride.
00:54:39An old housekeeper who knows where all the bodies are buried.
00:54:42I'm a liability.
00:54:44Better I disappear.
00:54:45You think we forgot?
00:54:47You're the one who hid the affair evidence from Marcus.
00:54:49You turned down his hush money.
00:54:51Same as I did.
00:54:53You were never the help.
00:54:56No one in this house earns their place by disappearing.
00:54:59You stay as family.
00:55:01My father trusted you above anyone in his last days.
00:55:05He did.
00:55:07The night before he passed, he made me promise something.
00:55:10And to wait for the right day to keep it.
00:55:13The promise was this, your father's signet ring.
00:55:17He gave it to me and said,
00:55:18For the cross who one day truly leads,
00:55:21Today, I think, is the day.
00:55:23He left it with you.
00:55:25He knew, even then, it would be me.
00:55:28I've had a word from certain parties, Vivian.
00:55:30You were defrauded for six years,
00:55:33Forged signatures, a sham marriage, and never noticed.
00:55:36Why should we trust you to lead cross?
00:55:40Yes.
00:55:41I was fooled.
00:55:43By a man who built his whole life on it.
00:55:45And then I took that life apart,
00:55:47Piece by piece,
00:55:49In open court.
00:55:52You're questioning whether a woman who personally dismantled the fraud
00:55:56Knows how to stop one?
00:55:58I put him in prison myself.
00:56:01So here's my offer to this board.
00:56:02Anyone who still thinks they can cheat cross,
00:56:05Try.
00:56:06I'll be waiting.
00:56:07For the record, every forged instrument is now void by court order.
00:56:10And the late Mr. Cross's will names one sole heir to lead her.
00:56:16Minutes will show.
00:56:17Signing authority, the trust seal, and the chair all transferred to me today.
00:56:21Anyone who wants it back knows where to file.
00:56:24Mine.
00:56:25In full.
00:56:26So, what do you want?
00:56:28Not what I can give you.
00:56:30What you want.
00:56:31I want you to do.
00:56:32A title.
00:56:33A seat on the board.
00:56:34All in your name.
00:56:35I want you to never worry about anything again.
00:56:38I didn't leave being someone's maid to become someone's trophy.
00:56:42I don't want to be kept, Vivian.
