00:01Je m'appelle Elisabeth Sterling,
00:04le sole heir de l'East-Coast de la famille de l'East-Coast
00:05de la famille de l'East-Coast.
00:08Pendant 26 ans,
00:10j'ai perdu qui j'étais
00:11et joué la femme de l'ampleur à un tycoon.
00:14Puis,
00:15avant mon 48th anniversaire,
00:18j'ai entré dans sa private estate de Dubai
00:21et j'ai trouvé sa famille secret.
00:25Je t'ai pris tout cent de Sterling's capital de sa compagnie.
00:30J'aimerais l'arm's endemprise ne pas être rien.
00:32A peu d'après,
00:33j'ai payé une porte à une auctione d'Agenva pour un grand vintage Pate-Philippe.
00:37C'est un cadeau de l'animaliste.
00:39Une entreprise de la vie.
00:40Il a une histoire qui parle de la soul du temps.
00:43J'ai imaginé l'as-maqu'il se le regard d'un côté à mon épreu.
00:49J'ai passé des années du Nord-East-Coast de l'East-Coast de l'East-Coast de l'East
00:52-Coast.
00:54En 26 ans, on ne se voit pas l'autre.
00:58J'ai stayed en New York,
00:59Managed the family affairs, and kept everything running for him.
01:03I thought that was all I was meant to be.
01:09Mrs. Mercer?
01:10What are you doing here?
01:11I'll notify Mr. Mercer right away.
01:13Don't bother.
01:15Where's Charles?
01:16I'll find him myself.
01:18I came to surprise him.
01:20Turns out, the surprise was waiting for me.
01:29He was tanner, older, but his eyes were as sharp as ever.
01:34But now, those sharp eyes softened as he looked at the young woman fixing his tie.
01:39Six children crowded around them.
01:41The oldest looked to be in his 20s.
01:44The youngest could barely walk.
01:46Every one of them called Charles, Dad.
01:49And the cruelest part?
01:51My own children, William and Emily, were standing right there with them.
01:59William and Emily, my brilliant Ivy League children.
02:03They'd told me their Middle East trip was for internships, and a quick visit with their father.
02:08Apparently, this was the family gathering they'd really come for.
02:12Sophia, Mia's so adorable.
02:1426 years of marriage.
02:1626 years alone, sacrificing everything for him.
02:19And in that moment, it all became a joke.
02:25Elizabeth?
02:27Panic, shock, and the anger of a man who'd just been caught.
02:32The child in his arms started crying, and every laugh in the room died at once.
02:36Mrs. Mercer, I'm sorry.
02:38This is all my fault.
02:39Please don't blame Charles.
02:40I'll leave with the children right now.
02:42You'll never have to see us again.
02:44Soft voice, innocent face, the perfect victim.
02:47I didn't spare her a glass.
02:49I didn't care about Charles, either.
02:51Mother, my eyes locked on William and Emily.
02:55Mom?
02:56Why did you fly out here without telling us?
02:58Please don't be mad.
02:59Let us explain.
03:00Mother, don't make a scene.
03:01Father had his reasons.
03:03He's been out here for years.
03:05He needed someone to take care of him.
03:07William's right.
03:08Sophia's always been good to us, too.
03:10For the family's interests and Dad's reputation, can't you just let this go?
03:14Don't make a scene.
03:15For the stock.
03:17For his name.
03:18Let go!
03:21Mother, if this becomes a scandal, we could lose billions by tomorrow morning.
03:25Are you prepared to take responsibility for that?
03:30A cheating husband.
03:31My own children turning against me.
03:33Two knives twisting in my heart at the same time.
03:37Elizabeth, you showed up and scared the children.
03:39Sophia frightens easily.
03:40Stop staring at her like that.
03:43Mother, for the sake of the company,
03:45and father's name, just pretend you saw nothing.
03:48Right.
03:49Dad works himself to death out here.
03:51Sophia handles everything for him.
03:53And now you've come all this way just to ruin our weekend.
03:56Those were the Ivy League children I'd raised.
03:58Step on their own mother just to please their powerful father.
04:03You're not thinking clearly.
04:04Go back to New York.
04:06The IPO is too important for this.
04:08Keep your mouth shut and don't leave the estate without my permission.
04:11He wasn't sending me home.
04:12It was humiliation.
04:13House arrest.
04:14A warning that I no longer had a voice.
04:17Fine.
04:18I'll go.
04:20Late that night, under their watch,
04:23I boarded a private jet out of Dubai alone.
04:26They thought if they isolated me
04:28and held family honor over my head,
04:30I'd stay obedient like a caged bird.
04:32But they forgot one thing.
04:34I'm a Sterling.
04:41Elizabeth, you're back already.
04:44Is something wrong?
04:48Robert, call security and finance.
04:52Freeze every Sterling family black card in William and Emily's names.
04:56Now.
04:57Then call Hunter.
04:58I want him in my study in 30 minutes.
05:01Rest was the last thing on my mind.
05:02I called the one person I trusted most.
05:05My nephew, Hunt Cabot.
05:07One of Wall Street's youngest private equity titans.
05:13And Elizabeth, what's the emergency?
05:18Did Wall Street finally collapse?
05:21Not yet.
05:25But Charles' world is about to.
05:28I told him what happened in Dubai.
05:30No tears.
05:32No complaints.
05:33Like I was briefing him on a hostile takeover.
05:38That damn fool.
05:40A few arms contracts
05:41and suddenly he thinks he's too big for the Sterlings.
05:43Did he forget who bankrolled him in the first place?
05:47And Elizabeth, tell me what you want done.
05:49Trigger the Sterling Trust emergency divestment clause.
05:52Pull everything out.
05:53Don't leave him a cent.
05:57Get legal and clients in.
05:58Everyone's working through the night.
06:00I want a full audit of every asset tied to Mercer Group.
06:04That night, on the top floor of a midtown Manhattan tower,
06:08the best divorce attorneys on Wall Street
06:10worked through the night.
06:12Ms. Sterling, we've completed a full review
06:14of the Mercer Group's ownership structure.
06:16Everyone thinks Charles built his empire from nothing.
06:19What they didn't know was that the core seed capital
06:22behind his precious arms empire
06:23came from a massive Sterling family venture loan.
06:26Under the asset separation agreement you created years ago,
06:29the family trust is completely separate from marital property.
06:32And there's a hidden fraudulent marriage trigger.
06:35Prove serious marital contest and a long-term mistress,
06:38and we can pull every investment,
06:40then demand immediate repayment of every leveraged debt,
06:42principal, and interest.
06:44One move and Charles' cash flow would collapse.
06:47His so-called untouchable empire
06:49was a house of cards built on my family's money.
06:53He loves his arms business and his power in the Middle East?
06:56Then let him watch it disappear.
06:58Without the Sterlers behind him, he's nothing.
07:00File for an emergency federal asset freeze,
07:01offshore accounts, affiliated funds, everything.
07:04I want every account locked before sunrise.
07:06Aunt Elizabeth,
07:06the normal court process takes at least three days.
07:08to freeze cross-border assets overnight,
07:10we'll need Washington to move fast.
07:13Get the helicopter ready.
07:15I'm going to Washington to see your senator aunt.
07:29Elizabeth,
07:30look at you.
07:31What did that bastard do to you?
07:33Margaret is my younger sister,
07:35a U.S. senator who doesn't back down from anyone.
07:37In a family built on power and calculation,
07:40she's always been my strongest ally.
07:41I'm fine.
07:43Don't lie to me.
07:43Was it the kids?
07:45Or was it that bastard Charles and his family?
07:47I didn't cry.
07:49I just pulled the legal papers we drafted overnight from my bag.
07:53I'm divorcing him.
07:55Trigger the Sterling Trust's emergency divestment clause.
07:59Elizabeth, are you serious?
08:00After all these years?
08:02Right before his IPO?
08:03He's kept a mistress in Dubai for over 20 years.
08:06Six children.
08:08William and Emily knew
08:09and told me to stay quiet for the stock price.
08:14That ungrateful bastard!
08:17Without us,
08:18that broke kid from Brooklyn would still be nobody.
08:20I watched my sister rage
08:21and slid a detailed asset list across the desk.
08:23Charles is bidding on a major Pentagon contract.
08:26If this gets out,
08:27his IPO collapses
08:28and the Sterling name gets dragged down with him.
08:30I don't need you to destroy him politically.
08:32I just need Washington to make sure
08:33the emergency freeze gets reviewed immediately.
08:36I want a clean break.
08:37Fine.
08:38If he wants to die on this hill,
08:40I'll bury him there.
08:44Get me the Chief Justice private line.
08:46Now.
08:48While his assets were being frozen,
08:51Charles was still in Dubai
08:52living in his fantasy with his mistress.
08:54Charles, this is all my fault.
08:56I never should have asked for more.
08:58I never should have embarrassed Mrs. Mercer.
09:02I'll take the children back to Europe.
09:04You'll never see us again.
09:06Don't cry.
09:07You're not going anywhere.
09:08Elizabeth's just angry.
09:10She'll calm down.
09:11She won't destroy the Sterling name over this.
09:14I'll handle her when I get back to New York.
09:16A gift, an apology.
09:17She'll get over it.
09:19He didn't believe I could leave.
09:20Why would he?
09:21I gave him the Sterling name.
09:23Sophia gave him the family life he wanted.
09:25He thought he could keep both.
09:27Once I land that Pentagon contract,
09:29I'll buy you a huge estate on Long Island.
09:30You and the children will be set for life.
09:35Still dreaming,
09:37Charles threw himself a victory party
09:39for a deal he hadn't even won yet.
09:41Congratulations, Mr. Mercer.
09:43Land this contract,
09:44and the Middle East is yours.
09:48This is only the beginning.
09:50Money and weapons,
09:51that's what rules the world.
09:54Drunk on champagne and his own ego,
09:56he thought one big win
09:57could erase the mess he'd left behind.
10:03Boss, we have a problem.
10:05The FBI's here!
10:10The music stopped cold.
10:13Every eye in the ballroom turned toward the doors.
10:19Gentlemen,
10:20if this is the Pentagon's way of congratulating me,
10:23the escort seems a little excessive.
10:26Mr. Mercer,
10:27we're here under a federal court order.
10:29You've been formally served.
10:31Based on evidence submitted by Miss Elizabeth Sterling,
10:33the court has found substantial fraud in your marriage.
10:36Effective immediately,
10:37the marriage is dissolved.
10:38The Sterling Trust has triggered
10:40its emergency divestment clause.
10:42All Sterling capital is being withdrawn from Mercer Group,
10:44effective immediately.
10:45Your offshore accounts,
10:46affiliated funds,
10:47and Dubai credits are frozen.
10:48Any attempt to move those assets
10:49could constitute a federal felony.
10:51It wasn't just a divorce.
10:52It was a financial execution.
10:54No.
10:55This is impossible.
10:56How dare she!
10:59Read it yourself.
11:01It's all right here.
11:02And one more thing,
11:03your card won't even cover this hotel anymore.
11:07He thought the humiliation ended in Dubai.
11:10He had no idea I'd already emptied his home in New York.
11:14Mrs. Sterling,
11:15this is the complete list of trust-owned assets on the estate.
11:18Pack it all.
11:19Don't leave him a thing that belongs to Sterling.
11:21Of course.
11:22Everything is in position.
11:23One order from me,
11:24and the entire estate turned upside down.
11:27The servants could only watch as the Porsches,
11:30the vintage Levee,
11:31every symbol of Charles' wealth rolled out through the gates,
11:35one trach at a time.
11:41For years,
11:43I'd guarded all these symbols of wealth
11:44just to make Charles look powerful.
11:46His reputation,
11:47his status,
11:48his empire,
11:48it was all built on the Sterlings.
11:54Faster than I expected,
11:56my devoted children rushed back
11:58to take Charles' side.
12:04Have you lost your mind?
12:08William and Emily left Dubai two days after I did.
12:11By then,
12:11every major Sterling asset was already on a truck.
12:14Put that down!
12:15That's mine!
12:16Who gave you people permission to touch my bags?
12:18Put them down!
12:19I...
12:19Watching her fall apart was pathetic.
12:21Emily forgot that every bag,
12:23every dress,
12:23every piece of that glamorous life
12:25came from my money.
12:26Now the cards were gone,
12:27so were the privileges.
12:28All she had left was a last name.
12:33I'm the heir to Mersal Group.
12:34This is my house.
12:36Touch one thing
12:36and I'll have the best lawyers in the country
12:38bury every one of you in court.
12:40Sorry, Mr. Merritt.
12:41We answered a Miss Sterling
12:42in the federal freeze order.
12:43You're welcome to call a lawyer.
12:45The court order wiped the arrogance
12:47right off his face.
12:48He could only stand there
12:49and watch the inheritance
12:50he'd always taken for granted
12:51disappear piece by piece.
12:53Mother,
12:53do you even know what you're doing?
12:55You're destroying everything
12:56this family built
12:57and you're taking my future down with it.
13:01His future,
13:02the family money,
13:03looking at that furious face,
13:04I almost laughed.
13:05To them,
13:06my pain and dignity
13:06would always come after the numbers.
13:08Mom, you can't just throw us away.
13:09You've taken everything.
13:10What am I supposed to tell everyone?
13:11They're going to laugh at me.
13:12You can't do this.
13:14Tears were real,
13:14but every word was about herself,
13:16her image,
13:17her comfort,
13:18her vanity.
13:19Mom, I know what happened
13:19in Dubai hurt you,
13:20but Dad made a mistake.
13:21He spent years in the Middle East
13:22dealing with warlords
13:23and high-stakes contracts.
13:24The pressure is insane.
13:25He needed an outlet.
13:27An outlet.
13:28Hearing that from my own son
13:30felt like a rusted blade
13:31dragged across a nerve.
13:32Sophia means nothing.
13:33She's some broke aristocrat
13:34Dad keeps in Dubai.
13:35You're Mrs. Mercer.
13:36You're the wife everyone knows.
13:38Dad said that would never change.
13:39So this was the son I'd raised.
13:40To him,
13:41I was just a title.
13:42The wife expected to share
13:43her husband with a mistress
13:44and feel grateful
13:45she still had the name.
13:52Six children, William.
13:54And you still call her nobody?
13:55I wasn't screaming.
13:5726 years of rage
13:58spoke loudly enough.
13:59If she was nobody,
14:00why did Charles barely come home
14:02for 26 years?
14:03All that Ivy League education
14:05and this is what you learned?
14:06Protect the lie
14:06as long as it protects your money?
14:07Is that what you call morality?
14:09A few compliments from her
14:10and you forgot everything I gave you.
14:11Your trust,
14:12your tuition,
14:12your place on Wall Street.
14:13you even forgot who your mother is.
14:15For the first time,
14:16I looked at them
14:16and saw two strangers.
14:18You chose your father
14:19so you can inherit his debt.
14:20Read it carefully.
14:21As of today,
14:22your names are off
14:22the Sterling Trust permanently.
14:23I watched the arrogance
14:24die in William's eyes.
14:25Without Sterling money behind him,
14:27he was nobody on Wall Street.
14:28No, you can't do this.
14:29I'm your son.
14:29You're ruining my life.
14:32My son,
14:33they'd chosen Charles,
14:34chosen Sophia,
14:35chosen money.
14:36From that moment on,
14:37they were strangers to me.
14:38Mom, please!
14:39Dad loves you.
14:40He writes you those
14:41long birthday letters every year.
14:42He buys you priceless jewelry
14:44from auctions all over the world.
14:45Just look at everything
14:46he's given you!
14:47Love?
14:47If that's love,
14:48I wanted none of it.
14:49Another family in Dubai
14:51and my own children
14:52told me to smile
14:52and forgive him.
14:5426 years of gifts.
14:5626 years of foolish hope.
14:58I had Robert
14:59brought every last box out.
15:00The fire burned
15:01his fake love letters.
15:02So did the last bit of mercy
15:04I had for this marriage
15:05and those children.
15:06Mrs. Mercer was gone.
15:08Throw these two trespassers out.
15:27I left the Arlington estate
15:29and all its lies behind.
15:30I didn't return
15:31to the Sterling family home.
15:32I wanted New York to know
15:34that a Sterling woman
15:35stands on her own.
15:36This penthouse cost me pocket munch
15:38from my personal trust.
15:39Outside,
15:39the old nameplate was gone.
15:41In its place
15:41was a solid gold Sterling crest.
15:43Anne Elizabeth,
15:45everything's accounted for.
15:46All the assets we pulled
15:48from Charles
15:48are back in the trust.
15:49Our cash reserves
15:50are stronger than ever.
15:53Looking at those numbers,
15:54I finally realized
15:57how long I'd let
15:58this kind of power sleep
15:59for a marriage
16:00I'd mistaken for love.
16:05Hunter,
16:06call our people
16:06on Wall Street.
16:08Sterling Capital
16:09isn't just a
16:09finthropic fund anymore.
16:11We're moving into
16:12private equity
16:13and venture capital.
16:14Two weeks.
16:15That's all it took
16:16for my name
16:16to shake the Upper East Side.
16:18I was no longer
16:19the arms dealer's wife.
16:21I was a new force
16:22on Wall Street
16:22of billions.
16:23And the ladies
16:24who waited to laugh at me
16:26were lining up
16:26outside my door.
16:27Mrs. Sterling,
16:28a pleasure.
16:29May I interest you
16:30in our financing plans
16:31for next year?
16:32Matteo,
16:33for business,
16:34you'll need to go
16:35through my assistant.
16:36Make an appointment.
16:40I was rising.
16:41Charles was collapsing.
16:42The man who once
16:43ruled the Middle Eastern
16:44arms laid had become
16:45a joke in high society.
16:47Did you hear about Charles?
16:48Kept some fallen
16:49European aristocrat
16:50in Dubai
16:50and had six bastards.
16:51The Sterlings
16:52pulled the money.
16:53He's finished.
16:54Can't even afford
16:55to fuel his jet.
16:56Cheats on his wife,
16:57abandons his family,
16:58and humiliates the Sterlings.
17:00Who's going to work
17:01with him now?
17:02Idiot.
17:02The money vanished.
17:04Then Charles' empire
17:05went into freefall.
17:06The scandal destroyed
17:07the image Charles
17:08had spent years building.
17:10William and Emily
17:11were about to learn
17:12the price of choosing Charles.
17:14I'll take all of them.
17:15Put it on the card.
17:16In Emily's mind,
17:17the divorce changed nothing.
17:19My money was still hers.
17:20I'm sorry, Miss Mercer.
17:22It looks like your card
17:23privileges have been revoked.
17:25That's impossible.
17:26Run it again.
17:28Do you have any idea
17:29who my mother is?
17:32Don't take it out
17:32on the sales girl, Emily.
17:35Everyone knows
17:36the Sterlings cut you off.
17:38Exactly.
17:39You're a Murrin now,
17:41not a Sterling.
17:46For Emily,
17:48that afternoon
17:48was the most humiliating moment
17:50of her privileged life.
17:51No bags,
17:53no black card,
17:54and every so-called friend
17:56laughing in her face.
17:57For the first time,
17:58she learned that
17:59without the Sterling name,
18:00she couldn't even escape
18:01a New York rainstorm.
18:04Let me see my mom!
18:06I'm her daughter!
18:09You can't keep me out!
18:1168 floors above her,
18:13I watched the whole performance
18:15on camera.
18:17Mrs. Sterling,
18:18Emily has been crying
18:19downstairs for half an hour.
18:20Reporters are gathering.
18:21Shall I let her go?
18:23Leave her there.
18:24She loves happy families
18:25so much.
18:26Now she can give
18:27the press a show.
18:28She picked Charles,
18:30picked his money and lies.
18:32She chose his side.
18:33I wasn't going to protect her
18:34from that choice.
18:35Ms. Mercer,
18:37Ms. Sterling says
18:37you should take the tears
18:38to Dubai.
18:39Your six half-siblings
18:39are waiting.
18:40What did you just say?
18:45No!
18:49I know you!
18:53Emily had paid her price.
18:55Now it was William's turn.
18:56He knew losing the black card
18:58was only the beginning.
18:59He never thought
19:00I'd go after his career.
19:02Ivy League graduate,
19:03rising Wall Street banker.
19:05William thought talent
19:07and his father's connections
19:08had earned him everything.
19:09William,
19:11there won't be
19:11a partnership signing.
19:13You're being demoted
19:13to junior analyst.
19:15Pack up your office.
19:19Mr. Smith!
19:20Why?
19:22I'm the top performer
19:23on this team.
19:24Your numbers?
19:26Don't flatter yourself.
19:27We hired you
19:29for the Sterling name.
19:30Now the Sterlings
19:31have pulled out
19:32and your father's company
19:34is collapsing.
19:35You bring us nothing.
19:39Humiliated and furious,
19:40William stormed
19:41straight to my building.
19:43Elizabeth!
19:44Get down here!
19:45Do you know
19:46what you've done?
19:47You destroyed
19:48my partnership.
19:49You destroyed
19:49everything I've worked for.
19:51I'm your only son!
19:52You're really willing
19:53to destroy me
19:54just to get back at Dad?
19:55I almost laughed.
19:57Career,
19:58future,
19:59partnership.
20:00All William cared about
20:01was himself.
20:02What his mother
20:03had endured
20:04never even crossed his mind.
20:07I went down to the lobby.
20:09By then,
20:10bankers and Wall Street
20:11executives had gathered
20:12to watch.
20:13William saw me
20:14and thought his accusations
20:15would make me feel guilty.
20:17Mom!
20:17Just call Smith.
20:18Put the Sterling money back
20:20and this all goes away.
20:21Please!
20:22Looking down at him,
20:24I could still see myself
20:25in his face.
20:26It was twisted
20:27by greed and entitlement.
20:35William,
20:36pick those up.
20:36You think the Ivy League
20:37wanted you for your brilliance?
20:39Read the numbers.
20:40$30,000 a year
20:41in Sterling's donations.
20:43Your first major clients
20:44came from capital
20:45tied to my foundations.
20:46You really thought
20:47your talent
20:48and your father's
20:48dirty money
20:49were enough
20:49to make it on Wall Street?
20:57I didn't ruin your career,
20:58William.
20:59I just stopped paying for it.
21:01The rest is up to you.
21:03Think it's unfair?
21:05Go ask your father.
21:07See what his empire is worth
21:08without the Sterlers behind it.
21:12Get him out.
21:14He's never allowed
21:15inside this building again.
21:27A few hours later,
21:29Charles heard
21:30what happened to William.
21:31That's when he finally realized
21:33I meant every word.
21:36She's insane.
21:39Completely insane!
21:41She took
21:42the Sterling money
21:44and now she's destroying
21:45my son's career?
21:50Charles,
21:52she's trying to destroy you.
21:54If we can't close
21:55the funding gap,
21:56how are we going to pay
21:57the mercenaries next month?
22:02Shut up!
22:04I don't need pity
22:05from her!
22:07She thinks pulling
22:08her seed money
22:08turns me into nothing?
22:10Pathetic.
22:15His arrogance
22:16hadn't cracked.
22:17To him,
22:18marriage was just
22:19a stepping stone.
22:20He still believed
22:20the arms network
22:21he'd built over 20 years
22:22was untouchable.
22:24Senator,
22:24Charles,
22:25yes,
22:26I need that federal advance
22:27moved up.
22:28You know the drone order.
22:30Deliver the shipment on time
22:31and I'll make sure
22:31your share is protected.
22:33He hung up
22:34convinced he'd found
22:35a way out.
22:36Keep production moving,
22:38collect the military payment,
22:40plug the hole,
22:41then come back to New York
22:42richer than ever.
22:43You want a financial war,
22:44Elizabeth?
22:45Fine.
22:46Let's play.
22:49As his wife,
22:50I spent years helping
22:51Charles move money
22:52no one was supposed to see.
22:54What he called
22:55an impenetrable empire,
22:56I saw as a map
22:57of weaknesses.
22:58Hunter,
22:59how much cash
22:59can we move right now?
23:02About $40,000.
23:04That's liquid
23:05and ready to move,
23:06excluding real estate
23:06and long-term holdings.
23:08$40,000.
23:09$40,000.
23:10For years,
23:11it sat quietly
23:12in Swiss accounts,
23:13backing Charles' claims
23:15of limitless wealth.
23:16Now it was time
23:16to wake the beast.
23:20Set up a new investment group,
23:22Sterling Capital.
23:23Split the $40,000
23:25across three levered funds.
23:28I want control
23:29of every supplier
23:30and strategic resource
23:31Charles depends on.
23:33Got it.
23:34What's our first target?
23:37Half of Charles'
23:38defense contracts
23:39depend on
23:39Viontech chips.
23:40Offer triple market price,
23:42I want the company.
23:46Capital doesn't need bullets.
23:48Sometimes all it takes
23:50is a number changing
23:51on a screen.
23:52What the hell is going on?
23:54Why isn't this factory running?
23:56We deliver to Washington
23:57next month.
23:58Who told you
23:59to shut down production?
24:01Boss,
24:02this wasn't our call.
24:04Viontech cut off
24:05the chip supply this morning.
24:08Without chips,
24:10the lines can't run.
24:13Cut us off?
24:14We have a 10-year contract.
24:16They can't breach it!
24:20Get me Vion's CEO.
24:22I'll sue him
24:23into the ground.
24:24He demanded answers.
24:25never realizing
24:26Vion belonged to me now.
24:35Elizabeth.
24:37She bought Vion?
24:38Finally,
24:39he understood.
24:40I wasn't jealous.
24:42I wasn't fighting for him.
24:44I was destroying
24:45everything he'd built.
24:47Boss,
24:48miss this shipment.
24:49And we're looking
24:49at a tenfold penalty
24:50plus federal fraud charges.
24:58One week.
24:59That's all it took
25:00to put the Sterling name
25:01back on Wall Street.
25:02Vion was step one.
25:04Then I bought
25:04three more startups
25:05with advanced encryption technology
25:07and drone patents
25:08that Charles desperately needed.
25:11Vion's ours.
25:13Charles doesn't get
25:14a single military chip
25:15unless we approve it.
25:17Not enough.
25:21Put the word out.
25:23Sterling Capital
25:23is about to reshape
25:24the Middle Eastern
25:25defense market.
25:27That leaves Charles
25:28nowhere to go.
25:29Once word gets out,
25:30his competitors
25:31will move in.
25:32Take his clients,
25:33his contracts,
25:33and his market.
25:40Now,
25:42the real game begins.
25:47Money and power
25:48came back to me
25:49and the Upper East Side
25:50changed its tune
25:51overnight.
25:52Once,
25:53I was just Mrs. Mercer,
25:54the polished wife
25:55beside Charles.
25:56Tonight,
25:57I walked in
25:58as the head
25:58of Sterling Capital.
26:00This time,
26:00I was the one
26:01at the top.
26:04Elizabeth,
26:05darling,
26:06you look incredible
26:07tonight.
26:08And Sterling Capital,
26:09everyone's talking
26:10about what you've
26:11been doing.
26:12I know things
26:14are difficult
26:14with Charles.
26:15You were married
26:16a long time,
26:17Elizabeth.
26:18Is it really
26:19necessary to destroy him?
26:21Maybe we could
26:22all sit down
26:23over dinner.
26:25You want to take
26:26Charles' side?
26:27Go ahead.
26:28But tomorrow,
26:29the Sterlings
26:29end every financing
26:30relationship
26:31with your husband's
26:32company.
26:44Sis,
26:45you should have
26:45seen their faces.
26:47I don't think
26:48any of them
26:48will try that again.
26:49A small lesson,
26:50nothing more.
26:53How are things
26:54on your end?
26:55Everything's ready
26:56for the hearing.
26:57Tomorrow at nine,
26:58it's showtime.
27:02Charles' confidence
27:03came from
27:04annual federal
27:05defense contracts.
27:06Cut those off
27:07and the cash
27:07dries up.
27:08Then his company
27:09follows.
27:10Colleagues,
27:11these are Mercer
27:12Defense's bids
27:13and verified
27:14cost records
27:15from the last
27:15three years.
27:16Mercer overcharged
27:17the federal government
27:18for years
27:18while cutting costs
27:19with non-compliant
27:20parts and critical
27:21systems.
27:22As committee chair,
27:23I formally request
27:24an immediate
27:24federal fraud
27:25investigation
27:26into Charles Mercer
27:27and his affiliated
27:28companies.
27:38Washington just called.
27:39An emergency order
27:40came down.
27:40All our core
27:41federal contracts
27:41have been suspended.
27:42Effective immediately.
27:49All of a sudden,
27:51Charles' mighty empire
27:52was sinking.
27:56Margaret,
27:57that psycho.
27:59She thinks this is
28:00enough to finish me.
28:01Not even close.
28:03He wasn't out of
28:04tricks yet.
28:05Charles always believed
28:06he was the hunter,
28:08never the prey.
28:09Contact the broker
28:10in Suriname.
28:11I want the last
28:12$50,000,
28:13$7,000
28:14moved off store
28:15through the usual
28:16channels.
28:17Came in account
28:18now.
28:21Boss,
28:21if the board
28:22or regulators
28:23find out,
28:24that's a federal
28:24felony.
28:26Let them
28:26investigate.
28:28By the time
28:29they catch up,
28:30I'll be gone
28:30and rebuilding.
28:32Do it!
28:35Anne Elizabeth,
28:36we just got word
28:37he's desperate.
28:38He's using
28:39underground channels
28:40to move the last
28:41$50,000,000 offshore.
28:43$50,000,000?
28:45That wasn't even
28:46pocket, Tache.
28:47Don't stop him.
28:48Let him transfer it.
28:50A mouse only
28:51walks into the trap
28:52when it thinks
28:53it's found the cheese.
28:58For over 20 years,
29:00Charles thought
29:01I was just a
29:01sheltered society wife
29:03who only knew
29:04charity galas
29:05and dinner parties.
29:07He forgot one thing.
29:09I was born a Sterling.
29:12Inside that envelope
29:13were the original
29:14records of his
29:15dirty arms eels
29:16that he thought
29:17he'd buried 10 years ago.
29:19Offshore payments,
29:21blood money.
29:22I had kept copies
29:23of everything.
29:28Hunter,
29:28it's time these records
29:29saw daylight.
29:38Aunt Elizabeth, this is a goldmine.
29:40With evidence like this,
29:41Charles isn't just
29:42going bankrupt stuff,
29:42he could be looking at
29:43decades in federal prison.
29:44No slow bleeding.
29:46I want him finished
29:47before he even realizes
29:50what's happening.
29:52Don't worry.
29:53Wall Street loves
29:54a wounded giant.
29:55By the opening blow,
29:56everyone will be coming
29:57for Charles.
29:58Once a woman stops
29:59sacrificing herself
30:00to be the perfect wife
30:02and mother,
30:03she becomes far more dangerous
30:05than anyone expects.
30:11Charles,
30:13your power is about
30:14to disappear.
30:16in finance,
30:18no one needs
30:19to pull a trigger.
30:20Numbers do the killing.
30:25Listen up.
30:27Five minutes
30:27before the market opens,
30:29that 120-page report
30:30goes to every major
30:31financial outlet
30:32and ratings agency.
30:34Check every line.
30:35Hunter and I
30:36had prepared
30:36Charles a gift.
30:38Ten years of
30:39fraud shell companies.
30:40Smuggling.
30:41Every secret
30:42Charles thought
30:43was buried.
30:45Meanwhile,
30:46the original evidence
30:47was already sitting
30:48with the SEC
30:48and FBI.
30:54Boss,
30:55we're under attack.
30:56Wall Street's
30:57gone insane.
30:58Smith Capital
30:58and seven hedge funds
30:59are shorting us
31:00at once.
31:02What?
31:02The evidence
31:03is everywhere online.
31:05The books,
31:05the smuggling,
31:06every major outlet
31:07is running the story.
31:08And the SEC
31:09has opened
31:10a formal investigation.
31:12Those files
31:13were destroyed.
31:15I made sure
31:16of it myself.
31:17Who the hell
31:18did this?
31:21At 9.30 a.m.
31:22New York time,
31:23the opening bell rang.
31:28Down 30.
31:29The stock's halted.
31:34Halt's lifted.
31:35We're 70% down.
31:36Sell orders everywhere.
31:37There's no bid.
31:38In under an hour,
31:39the market erased
31:4080% of his empire.
31:4226 years,
31:43gone in minutes.
31:44Buy the stock back.
31:46Use every cent.
31:47We can leverage
31:48every asset.
31:49This is manipulation!
31:52Buy it back
31:53with what?
31:54Your damn money-laundering
31:55records are already
31:56in the FBI's hands.
31:58Our core accounts
31:59were frozen
31:59and half an hour ago.
32:04If this company
32:05is going to survive,
32:06Charles Merschel
32:07has to go.
32:08I call for his
32:09immediate removal
32:10as CEO and chairman.
32:12You wouldn't dare!
32:13This is my company!
32:15I built it from nothing!
32:17You parasites
32:18can't do this to me!
32:23Unanimous.
32:23It's over.
32:24Charles,
32:25you're out.
32:30Even after the board
32:32threw him out,
32:33Charles refused
32:34to surrender.
32:35He called in
32:36every overseasion's favor
32:37he had left
32:38and bet everything
32:39on taking the company back.
32:43Another 8%
32:44and you'll be
32:44the largest shareholder.
32:48I told you
32:49I'd take it back.
32:54Starting to regret
32:55what you did?
32:55You really think
32:56you bought those shares,
32:57Charles?
32:58All those connections.
32:59All those favors.
33:01Charles,
33:01you just sent
33:02the last of your money
33:03to me.
33:07The acquisition funds,
33:08they've all been frozen.
33:10You wanted a comeback,
33:11I let you try.
33:12You set me up!
33:14Of course!
33:15Only then
33:16did Charles understand.
33:17His final comeback
33:18hadn't just failed.
33:20He'd handed me
33:21his last card himself.
33:26Wealth and power
33:27can take decades
33:28to build
33:28and seconds to lose.
33:30He thought the Middle East
33:32was beyond the reach of law.
33:33Hide there
33:34and no one could touch him.
33:36He was wrong.
33:39Mr. Mercer,
33:40we have substantial evidence
33:41linking you
33:41to large-scale
33:42cross-border money laundering
33:43and financial fraud.
33:44You are required
33:45to cooperate
33:45for this investigation.
33:54Hurry!
33:55Get the passports!
33:56That old bastard
33:57is finished!
33:58We need to get out
33:58of here now!
34:06From my penthouse,
34:08New York glittered below me.
34:09Money,
34:10ambition,
34:11power.
34:13You think it's over?
34:15No, Charles.
34:16Your real nightmare
34:17starts now.
34:20It took the SEC
34:21less than a day
34:22to bring his empire
34:24to its knees.
34:32Charles!
34:33Where are you going?
34:34Take us with you!
34:35Fuck off!
34:37Every account is frozen.
34:38The FBI is hunting me
34:40and dragging you
34:40and those kids
34:41would get me killed.
34:43So much for true love.
34:45The moment
34:46Sophia became a burden,
34:47Charles left her behind
34:49and ran for New York.
34:55After everything,
34:56he still thought
34:56one I'm sorry
34:57would save him again.
34:59Where's Elizabeth?
35:00What happened
35:01to this house?
35:03You mean
35:03Elizabeth Sterling?
35:04She moved into
35:05a luxury penthouse
35:06in Manhattan
35:07weeks ago.
35:07Why would she stay here?
35:18Back in Dubai,
35:19the happy family paradise
35:20had turned into hell.
35:30You think you can
35:32run off with our money?
35:33That's fathers!
35:37Fathers?
35:38Your father
35:39is a broke fugitive
35:40and you two
35:41got thrown out
35:42by your own mother.
35:43Don't you dare
35:44stand in my way.
35:47Give me that suitcase.
35:49That money belongs
35:50to me!
35:50The happy family
35:52that once shared
35:52that roof
35:53was now fighting
35:54in the street
35:54over loose cash
35:55and jewelry.
36:00He's so sick!
36:06Emily, run!
36:07Dubai police are here!
36:09We have to get back
36:09to New York!
36:13And their good father,
36:15the man who
36:16abandoned his wife
36:17and children,
36:18was now standing
36:19outside my Manhattan
36:20building with nowhere
36:21left to go.
36:22Fuck off!
36:23I'm Charles Mercer!
36:25I'm Elizabeth's husband!
36:27Tell her to come down!
36:29Sorry.
36:30There's no
36:31Mrs. Mercer here.
36:33We answer
36:33to Miss Sterling.
36:35Miss Sterling.
36:36hearing that name
36:37again made his face
36:38twitch.
36:39At last,
36:41he understood
36:41that I'd erased
36:42Mercer from my life
36:43for good.
36:45Elizabeth!
36:46I was wrong!
36:48Come out
36:48and talk to me!
36:5026 years
36:51have to mean
36:52something!
36:53I'll send
36:53Sophia away!
36:55I'll do
36:55whatever you want!
36:57on 5th Avenue,
36:59humiliation
36:59always finds
37:00an audience.
37:01Look,
37:02Charles Mercer?
37:03The billionaire
37:04arms dealer
37:04from the scandal?
37:05I heard he had
37:06a whole secret family
37:07in the Middle East,
37:08went bankrupt,
37:09and now he's
37:09begging his ex-wife
37:10to take him back.
37:11What a joke!
37:12What a joke!
37:19Once,
37:20Wall Street
37:20watched Charles
37:21with envy.
37:22Now they watched him
37:24through their phone cameras,
37:25laughing at him.
37:28Elizabeth!
37:29You vicious woman!
37:31You can't destroy me
37:32like this!
37:36Take one more step
37:38and I'll break your leg.
37:39Once,
37:40he controlled arms deals
37:41worth hundreds of millions
37:42and walked the halls
37:43of the Pentagon.
37:44Now he was face down
37:46on a New York sidewalk
37:47under a security guard's foot.
37:56Elizabeth!
37:58Look at me!
37:59Elizabeth,
38:00it's Charles!
38:04My driver spotted Charles
38:05at the entrance
38:06and deliberately
38:07slowed down.
38:19He expected my anger,
38:21a scream,
38:22anything,
38:23because it would have meant
38:24he still mattered to me.
38:26But I didn't.
38:35True contempt
38:36isn't revenge.
38:38It's seeing a man
38:39on his knees
38:39and feeling nothing.
38:42Sir, move along now
38:43or you'll be arrested
38:44for disorderly conduct.
38:45For the first time
38:46in his life,
38:47Charles learned
38:48what it meant
38:48to have no power.
38:50But his nightmare
38:51wasn't over
38:52and William and Emily
38:54were landing in New York
38:55with nothing but humiliation.
39:01William and Emily
39:02finally fell
39:02from their Dubai paradise
39:04back into reality.
39:05They lost the money,
39:07the lifestyle,
39:08the protection
39:08and somehow decided
39:10I was the problem.
39:11I understand
39:12why my mother
39:13is angry with my father.
39:15but Emily and I
39:15had nothing to do
39:16with his affairs.
39:17Our mother is punishing us
39:19for what he did.
39:20She froze every bank account
39:22and trust we had.
39:23We don't even have
39:24a place to live.
39:25Is this what the Sterling family
39:27calls honor?
39:28Driving your own children
39:29into the street?
39:30I was about to make partner
39:32and she deliberately
39:33destroyed it.
39:34I'm only asking her
39:36to remember we're family
39:37and stop using us
39:39to punish our father.
39:40tears play well on camera.
39:42Within hours,
39:44the internet had made me
39:45the villain.
39:47We just disin' exploring her
39:48are his and hell star stations.
39:53Those two have no shame left.
39:55I've already spoken to the media.
39:56Want me to cut the feed?
39:58No.
39:59Let them talk.
40:00If they want an audience,
40:02I'll give them one.
40:05The next morning,
40:07I held a public press conference
40:08at Sterling Capital's
40:09Wall Street headquarters.
40:11Today, I'm answering
40:12one question
40:13about my two innocent children.
40:16William Mercer,
40:17that Ivy League degree
40:18you're so proud of,
40:19came with $50 million
40:20in Sterling donations.
40:21And that Wall Street career,
40:23family connections
40:24opened every door.
40:25I just took back
40:26what was mine.
40:27If you don't like it,
40:28go ask Charles
40:29and his six other children
40:30to support you.
40:33You're sick!
40:34What kind of mother are you?
40:36And after your public
40:37smear campaign,
40:38my attorneys have filed
40:39civil claims for defamation
40:41and attempted extortion.
40:42Every advantage you had
40:43came from me.
40:44I gave it,
40:45and I can take it back.
40:47From now on,
40:48neither of you is a Sterling.
40:50William finally panicked.
40:52Without the family behind him,
40:53he realized how ordinary
40:55he really was.
40:56Across the city,
40:57Charles was making
40:58his last desperate move.
41:03When his children
41:03couldn't get through to me,
41:05Charles turned
41:05to my parents instead.
41:07Mr. Sterling!
41:08Please!
41:09I know I was wrong!
41:10I made a terrible mistake!
41:12Just let me see Elizabeth!
41:14He thought this pathetic performance
41:15would appeal to my parents'
41:17sense of family honor.
41:18He was sure
41:19they'd pressure me
41:20to compromise.
41:22Sir,
41:22shall I have him
41:23taken off the property?
41:24He's making quite a scene.
41:25Leave him there.
41:26He built himself up
41:28with our money
41:28and now wants to remind us
41:29of family honor.
41:41Elizabeth!
41:42Elizabeth!
41:43I knew you'd come!
41:45I knew you still cared!
41:50In the pouring rain,
41:52his desperate,
41:53pleading face
41:53looked ridiculous.
41:56Drive.
42:02Father,
42:03if you're planning
42:03to bring that man inside
42:05and ask me to take him back,
42:06I'll resign as chair
42:07of the trust tonight
42:08and walk away
42:09from the Sterling family.
42:10I'd spent 26 years
42:11stepping back for Charles.
42:13There would not be a 27.
42:15Elizabeth,
42:15I'm your father.
42:17You think I care more
42:18about appearances than you?
42:19Put Charles Mercer
42:20on the Sterling blacklist.
42:21Tell every major bank,
42:22investor,
42:23and business partner
42:23we know
42:24anyone who finance him
42:25is choosing a side
42:26against us.
42:27Yes, sir.
42:28That day,
42:29Charles stayed on his knees
42:30in the rain
42:31until his body gave out.
42:32By then,
42:33every financial door
42:34left to him
42:34had already closed.
42:38Charles didn't even
42:39make it off the property.
42:42The evidence Margaret
42:43and Hunter submitted
42:44had finally triggered
42:45his arrest.
42:46Charles Mercer,
42:47you're under arrest
42:48for international money laundering,
42:50illegal arms trafficking,
42:51and fraud.
42:52You have the right
42:52to remain silent.
42:53No!
42:54You can't arrest me!
42:56I own half the Middle East!
42:58Elizabeth,
42:59save me!
43:05That night,
43:06New York's elite
43:07gathered for a
43:08Wall Street charity gala.
43:09Lights,
43:10champagne,
43:11power,
43:12everywhere.
43:15Aunt Elizabeth?
43:16Charles is in
43:17federal custody.
43:18As for William and Emily,
43:20they couldn't make rent.
43:21Their landlord
43:21threw them out,
43:22and they've ended up
43:23in a rough part of Brooklyn.
43:24No pity,
43:25no tears.
43:26After 26 absurd years,
43:28the marriage was finally over,
43:30and Charles had paid
43:31for every lie.
43:32Mrs. Sterling,
43:33I hear Sterling Capital
43:34is moving into AI.
43:35Any chance I could interest
43:36you in a partnership?
43:38Of course.
43:39I'm only getting started.
