00:00:19Where's Mr. X?
00:00:36PH 9-09 Target acquired PH 9-09
00:01:10Well, well, well.
00:01:12Wait. Victor?
00:01:16Hello, Sarah. Miss me?
00:01:19You know this guy?
00:01:20Oh, she knows me very well. Looks like my mark's still there.
00:01:27You're internationally wanted. Stand down.
00:01:30Nobody has to die today.
00:01:33Die?
00:01:36No.
00:01:38If I die, everyone dies.
00:01:42Sarah, we can still disarm it.
00:01:46When you sent me to prison, you knew I'd come back for you.
00:01:55No!
00:01:56What are you doing?
00:01:58I've always done the cleaning.
00:02:00This time, it's yours.
00:02:04See you in hell!
00:02:08No!
00:02:11You crazy bitch!
00:02:14No!
00:02:28Once this final mission wraps up, go live your own life and be a regular civilian.
00:02:32Once this time, you're full of free and be a minimum.
00:02:35I've never had to go to prison.
00:02:37I know you're full of your own life so that you've ever come to prison.
00:02:38Why is it always misery?
00:02:42That I choose...
00:02:43You're free now.
00:02:45Go ahead.
00:02:46Go ahead.
00:02:47Go ahead.
00:02:49Go ahead.
00:02:50She's in the quickly.
00:02:52Go ahead.
00:02:55Go ahead.
00:02:56Go ahead.
00:02:58Go ahead.
00:03:00Go ahead.
00:03:06I told you to keep him quiet!
00:03:11You killed me!
00:03:13You killed my dog!
00:03:16It wouldn't shut up.
00:03:17Neither would you.
00:03:28Please!
00:03:29Help me!
00:03:30He's going to kill me!
00:03:31Who the hell are you?
00:03:33Walk away, or you're next.
00:03:42She said stop.
00:03:44What, you think you're some kind of hero?
00:03:50Let's see.
00:04:07The only thing I hate more than a target
00:04:10is a man who hits women.
00:04:23What the hell are you?
00:04:32You have no idea who my brother is.
00:04:40He's the CEO of...
00:04:44Please, stop.
00:04:46I swear, I'll never touch her again.
00:04:48I'll never hurt any woman.
00:05:13Let me go!
00:05:18Call the cops, and if he moves, hit him back.
00:05:38Ava, trust me on this. Ethan Cross, the most eligible bachelor in the city.
00:05:42Generous, kind, treats everyone like gold.
00:05:45I just want a normal life.
00:05:47Exactly. He needs a wife, you need a fresh start. Perfect.
00:06:10I'll replace it. Please forgive me.
00:06:13When something's dirty, it should be cleaned.
00:06:18Help!
00:06:36They're here. You know, one of them might become my wife. Go to the kitchen.
00:06:40Don't embarrass me in front of my guests.
00:06:52You must be Ava. Welcome.
00:06:57Ava, Ethan runs Novatec.
00:07:00Brilliant, successful, and way too good lucky for his own good.
00:07:05You're making me sound better than I am.
00:07:17I'm so sorry, miss.
00:07:19Don't worry about it. Guess I'm a little on edge today.
00:07:24So tell me about yourself. What do you do?
00:07:26I just left my job, actually. I was an AG.
00:07:31Edge?
00:07:32Administratum assistant.
00:07:34That tracks.
00:07:35You seem grounded. I respect people who know their role.
00:07:39What's going on? Go take care of it.
00:07:44My daughter, she's having a rough moment.
00:07:52Is she okay?
00:07:53I'm good with kids. Let me help.
00:08:12What is this, Mr. Cross?
00:08:13You tie a child up like this?
00:08:17Ava, please. I'm so sorry you had to see this.
00:08:20Lily has severe regressive autism.
00:08:22When an episode hits, she hurts herself.
00:08:24Bites. Tries to choke.
00:08:26This was a last resort. A specialist recommendation.
00:08:31Since Kate, since my wife died in that accident,
00:08:35everything I do is to keep Lily safe.
00:08:38I'm sorry. I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
00:08:40You're doing your best.
00:08:46After that, Ethan and I started dating.
00:08:49Gentle and warm.
00:08:51He made me feel safe.
00:08:54Every gesture told me
00:08:56he was the one I'd marry.
00:08:59I'll take them all.
00:09:19I did it.
00:09:21I found a life.
00:09:22No more blood.
00:09:24No more missions.
00:09:26Just...peace.

00:25:48Relax, she's fine.
00:25:50What do you want?
00:25:51I'm her father. We're spending time. Problem?
00:25:55Drop the act. Whatever you're planning, it won't work. Let's go.
00:26:04Lily, I know this is difficult. Take your time. Who do you feel safe with?
00:26:13You can point. Your mom thought she was smart too.
00:26:21Mom, no!
00:26:22You choose Ava in court and this is what happens to her. Like your mom.
00:26:36Your Honor, wait. I withdraw the divorce and I'm withdrawing my petition.
00:26:43I'm withdrawing my petition.
00:26:46Are you sure?
00:26:47He says he still cares.
00:26:50I want to try again.
00:26:54Sorry Ava.
00:26:56Don't be. I'll protect you. I promise. No matter what it takes.
00:27:06I'm going to get you out of here.
00:27:07I've been thinking. Without this marriage, I'm nothing.
00:27:13Now you get it. Without the cross name, you're nothing.
00:27:16I stay for the evidence. For Lily. So he never gets near her again.
00:27:20I was wrong. I forgot my place. Can you forgive me?
00:27:24That's better. Let the IPO go through. Then I'll make you regret everything.
00:27:32My cousin's coming. Make something decent.
00:27:36Of course.
00:27:44Damn. Ethan already replaced the help. Not bad.
00:27:50Turn around. Let me see your pretty face.
00:28:12Bitch.
00:28:15What? Playing tough? We're just a maid.
00:28:31Please, stop.
00:28:33I swear, I'll never touch her again.
00:28:36I'll never hurt any woman.
00:28:40You?
00:28:51You never learn, do you?
00:28:53Don't, don't kill me!
00:28:54I won't touch you again!
00:28:55What the hell is going on?
00:28:59It's her.
00:29:00It's her.
00:29:03You two know each other?
00:29:06It's her!
00:29:10Charred, what are you talking about?
00:29:12Ethan, she...
00:29:16Ethan, your cousin's got quite the imagination.
00:29:22Sorry, I'm terrible with faces.
00:29:25Have we met?
00:29:26No, I got it wrong.
00:29:28Just hit my head.
00:29:30Everything's fuzzy.
00:29:32Pathetic.
00:29:33Get it together, Chad.
00:29:34This is my wife.
00:29:35Ava, this is Chad, my cousin.
00:29:37Oh, then let me help.
00:29:42I'm fine, really.
00:29:51Please, stop.
00:29:53Jesus, it's a scratch.
00:29:55Ever since that woman put you in the hospital, you've been useless.
00:29:58Did you find her?
00:29:59The one who attacked you?
00:30:05I want her.
00:30:06I'll show her what happens when you touch a cross.
00:30:17No.
00:30:18No.
00:30:19I never found her.
00:30:22She vanished.
00:30:26If we don't repay in 48 hours, everything freezes.
00:30:29Company, villa, all of it.
00:30:32The IPO funds are locked.
00:30:33I need a bridge loan.
00:30:34Who's the partner?
00:30:34Can we stall him?
00:30:35Mr. Vance, easy to reach.
00:30:37But he has tastes.
00:30:40What kind of tastes?
00:30:41Single.
00:30:42Rich.
00:30:42Likes.
00:30:43Entertainment.
00:30:47Then my wife has use.
00:30:48She'll be the perfect gift.
00:30:49Ethan, no.
00:30:50That woman, she's not what you think.
00:30:52She's a monster.
00:30:52Darling?
00:30:57I brought fruit.
00:30:58You looked busy.
00:31:01Did someone say my name?
00:31:03No.
00:31:03Just work.
00:31:06Thanks.
00:31:07Always thoughtful.
00:31:08You both look tense.
00:31:09An apple a day.
00:31:11Especially good for people who talk too much.
00:31:17Chad?
00:31:18Want one?
00:31:20Don't.
00:31:20Don't come near me.
00:31:21What's wrong with you?
00:31:22You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:31:24Nothing.
00:31:25Just low blood sugar.
00:31:26No.
00:31:27I crushed it.
00:31:28I'll cut another.
00:31:29No.
00:31:30This is fine.
00:31:31I'll eat it.
00:31:35Get a grip.
00:31:37We're fine.
00:31:37You can go.
00:31:38Of course.
00:31:44Chad knows.
00:31:45I need proof.
00:31:47Fast.
00:31:48Ava, remember.
00:31:51High IQ criminals always share one trait.
00:31:55They keep trophies.
00:31:57Pain becomes proof.
00:31:59Power becomes a collection.
00:32:14What do you want?
00:32:22Ethan's right outside.
00:32:24What are you doing?
00:32:27Then talk.
00:32:28You're close to Ethan.
00:32:30You know where he keeps what matters.
00:32:32Where is it?
00:32:34I don't know.
00:32:38Wrong answer.
00:32:40I can make this look like a very sad accident.
00:32:43I swear.
00:32:44I don't know.
00:32:46Last chance.
00:32:47I have a hundred ways to make you beg for death.
00:32:49Pick one.
00:32:49The safe.
00:32:50In the study.
00:32:51Behind the painting.
00:32:52I don't know the code.
00:32:52I swear.
00:32:53Good.
00:32:54Say a word.
00:32:55And you stop breathing.
00:32:56Got it?
00:33:01Chad?
00:33:02Who are you talking to?
00:33:06What the hell is going on?
00:33:08Ethan, thank God I came for towels.
00:33:11He cornered me.
00:33:12What?
00:33:12No, she's lying.
00:33:13She...
00:33:15I told him no.
00:33:17He wouldn't stop.
00:33:23You disgusting pig!
00:33:26Get out of my house!
00:33:34You okay?
00:33:35This is on me.
00:33:36I'm okay.
00:33:37As long as you believe me.
00:33:39Of course I do.
00:33:42Okay.
00:33:46Drink this.
00:33:47It'll calm you down.
00:33:58Everything's going to be fine.
00:34:04Mr. Vance.
00:34:05Room 402.
00:34:07The gift is ready.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:11Okay.
00:34:12Okay.
00:34:20Once I get them on camera, they're both mine.
00:34:29Mrs. Cross!
00:34:31I'm sorry!
00:34:33Mrs. Cross!
00:34:34I'm sorry!
00:34:35Please!
00:34:36Have mercy!
00:34:38Mr. Vance?
00:34:40What the hell happened?
00:34:42Him!
00:34:43He drugged you!
00:34:45Said I could do anything!
00:34:49I could do anything.
00:34:51What?
00:34:52You're insane!
00:34:55Ava!
00:34:56Mr. Vance.
00:34:57You're done here.
00:34:59Yes!
00:35:00Yes!
00:35:00Yes!
00:35:01Yes, I'm going!
00:35:02You set me up, you bastard!
00:35:05Enjoy going broke!
00:35:08You ruined everything.
00:35:09That was billions.
00:35:10You think you could play me?
00:35:11I've been too soft.
00:35:13That ends now.
00:35:16I've been too soft.
00:35:17That ends now.
00:35:18Go ahead.
00:35:18Hit me.
00:35:19Then I call the cops, tell them my husband drugged me and sold me.
00:35:22You have no proof.
00:35:24Him.
00:35:25He drugged you so that I could do anything.
00:35:28If this gets out, you're finished.
00:35:31Start with your stuff.
00:35:32Don't get cocky.
00:35:33Without the cross name, you're nothing.
00:35:36Go home.
00:35:37Remember your place.
00:35:47Hey, executive package.
00:35:50Look at him.
00:35:51Pick one.
00:35:52Not tonight.
00:35:53What did your perfect on the outside husband do now?
00:35:55Forget that loser.
00:35:56He's not a loser, Robin.
00:35:58He's a monster.
00:36:25I found his trophy room.
00:36:28What was in it?
00:36:29Torn clothes.
00:36:30Blood on cuff glinks.
00:36:33And this.
00:36:43Cry.
00:36:45The more you cry, the better.
00:36:47Oh my God.
00:36:48He filmed it.
00:36:50He likes to relive it.
00:36:51You think he killed her?
00:36:52That's why I called you.
00:36:54You were right.
00:36:54Her parents tried to sue.
00:36:55He crushed them.
00:36:56Paid them off.
00:36:57Ten million.
00:36:57Shipped them to Europe with an NDA.
00:36:59Sarah.
00:37:00You wouldn't look away either.
00:37:02Not while he's still breathing.
00:37:04He'll pay for every drop of blood he took.
00:37:11Shut up.
00:37:13Shut up!
00:37:16Even you, a dog, thinks it can look down on me?
00:37:23Anything that disobeys, dies.
00:37:45Everyone leaves.
00:37:47The bank, the board, even the damn help.
00:37:52Daddy.
00:37:54You filthy munch.
00:37:56Bark at me!
00:37:59Hope, no!
00:38:02Come back!
00:38:04Hope, no!
00:38:10Do you like him?
00:38:11His name's Hope.
00:38:14No!
00:38:16Come back!
00:38:17I'm not going to go!
00:38:18I'm not going to go!
00:38:23Hope, hope, move.
00:38:29That's the price.
00:38:34Remember it.
00:38:43No!
00:38:45Lily!
00:38:56I've got you.
00:38:58Help, help.
00:39:01Ethan, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:39:03Just disciplining an animal and reminding you who's in charge.
00:39:11Take her. Lock the door. Don't come back.
00:39:16I've seen a lot of trash. Nothing worse than a coward who preys on the weak.
00:39:21Spare me.
00:39:23In this house, I am the law.
00:39:25Tonight, you earn the cost of defiance.
00:39:37Let go!
00:39:39Taking lives? Let's call this a down payment.
00:39:54Funny. You laughed when you killed the dog. Now it hurts?
00:40:00That was for the dog. Lily's still coming.
00:40:05You crazy bitch.
00:40:19Is that your only name?
00:40:22You like choking people?
00:40:31Help, somebody.
00:40:39Go ahead.
00:40:40Call the cops.
00:40:42Tell them the great Ethan Crofts got dropped by his wife.
00:40:54Then go to hell!
00:40:56Then go to hell!
00:41:08Do it.
00:41:12You think this toy makes you dangerous?
00:41:14Wait, wait. I'm sorry. I screwed up.
00:41:17Did you?
00:41:25A coward who preys on women and kids? Not worth a bullet.
00:41:29From now on, you answer to me. My fists are the only law you've got.
00:41:36Stop! Please! I'll divorce you!
00:41:39Oh? And Lily?
00:41:41She's yours. All yours. I won't fight it.
00:41:47Too late. I changed my mind.
00:41:49Name your price. I'll pay anything.
00:41:50That's the problem. If I let you walk, you'll just ruin someone else.
00:41:54Then, what do you want?
00:41:55I want you breathing. Right here. Under me.
00:42:00Every morning you wake up wondering, is today the day I end you?
00:42:04Your hell is just getting started.
00:42:10Please. Eat.
00:42:20This is disgusting. You don't feed me.
00:42:25Eat.
00:42:26You hear me?
00:42:40Is this even trash?
00:43:01Crawl.
00:43:02And don't spill a drop.
00:43:10Spill one drop and you'll regret it.
00:43:13I'll replace it. Please forgive me.
00:43:17When something's dirty, it should be cleaned.
00:43:23Go to the kitchen.
00:43:25Don't embarrass me in front of my guests.
00:43:32Can't even carry coffee. Useless.
00:43:42Thank God. She is not here.
00:43:49Ava.
00:43:52I didn't know you were home.
00:43:58Long day, Ethan. Drink. You've earned it.
00:44:04Drink.
00:44:05I won't hurt you tonight.
00:44:06Yes.
00:44:07Yes. Thank you.
00:44:22Ethan.
00:44:24I won't hurt you.
00:44:25I won't hurt you.
00:44:28Why did you do it?
00:44:30I don't know what you mean.
00:44:31Why did you kill me?
00:44:33Thought I wouldn't come back?
00:44:34You made me do it.
00:44:35You kept trying to leave.
00:44:37It was your fault.
00:44:38You want to confess?
00:44:40Tell me what you did that night.
00:44:45Say it.
00:44:46What did you do?
00:44:57Wake up.
00:44:59Don't fake it.
00:45:03I can't do this anymore.
00:45:05Please, let me go.
00:45:17It's all here.
00:45:19The house.
00:45:20My shares.
00:45:22Lily, take everything.
00:45:24Just sign.
00:45:25Let me go.
00:45:28Let you go?
00:45:29Kate begged you the same way, didn't she?
00:45:32Did you let her go?
00:45:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45:41Please, I'll leave.
00:45:43I'll raise Lily alone.
00:45:45I don't want anything.
00:45:46Just let me go.
00:45:50You're dreaming.
00:45:52Remember, I own you.
00:45:53You're never leaving me.
00:45:58Didn't get it?
00:46:00I'll beat it into you.
00:46:03Say divorce again?
00:46:06That's ten slaps.
00:46:09Understand?
00:46:12Understand?
00:46:13Understand?
00:46:14Yes, I get it.
00:46:16Please, stop.
00:46:23Ethan, open the door.
00:46:28Go away!
00:46:30Leave me alone!
00:46:34Darling, why are you disobeying me?
00:46:53There's nowhere to hide, bitch.
00:46:55Open the door.
00:46:57Now!
00:46:58Please.
00:47:03God.
00:47:07Make her go away.
00:47:20Lily, you're home.
00:47:29Uncle Simus, I need help.
00:47:31That woman is insane.
00:47:32She's going to kill me.
00:47:34You useless piece of trash.
00:47:36You can't even control a woman?
00:47:38I'll pay whatever it takes.
00:47:39Just get rid of her!
00:47:41Then hire the best.
00:47:42Make sure she's gone for good.
00:47:50Ava, will hope be cold here?
00:47:53Will it hurt?
00:48:01No.
00:48:02She's somewhere warm now.
00:48:05Endless grass.
00:48:06All the bones she could ever want.
00:48:10She'll become a star.
00:48:12Watching over you with your mum.
00:48:15Dad!
00:48:18Dad!
00:48:19Dad!
00:48:33That's you and me.
00:48:35Mum and Hope are watching over us.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:45And we'll always protect you.
00:48:49Lily.
00:48:54Did your mum keep a diary?
00:49:00Do you know where she kept it?
00:49:03Bathroom.
00:49:04The bathroom?
00:49:05She hid it in the bathroom?
00:49:10You left something behind, Kate.
00:49:18Not now, Robin.
00:49:19I'm with Lily.
00:49:21You're going to want to hear this.
00:49:22Someone just put out a five million dollar hit.
00:49:25I retired.
00:49:29Yeah.
00:49:30But you're one of those paying.
00:49:36You're the professional, right?
00:49:38They say you're the best.
00:49:40You want a woman erased?
00:49:41Five million's ready.
00:49:43Just tell me you can do it.
00:49:44Check your phone.
00:49:46Yes.
00:49:47That's her.
00:49:48That's the one.
00:49:49Cash first.
00:49:50Then she dies.
00:49:51Century building room top.
00:49:53Two p.m.
00:49:58Finally.
00:50:00I'll be free of her.
00:50:11Ethan Cross.
00:50:12I got you.
00:50:14I got you.
00:50:18I got you.
00:50:19I got you.
00:50:20I got you.
00:50:20I got you.
00:50:21What do you want?
00:50:23Nothing.
00:50:24I'm heading out.
00:50:25Won't be back tonight.
00:50:27Groceries?
00:50:28Or shopping for a hitman?
00:50:32You're crazy.
00:51:01We found the right one.
00:51:02He's a killing machine.
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:07Incredible.
00:51:08Even better than the rumors.
00:51:18Get rid of Ava and name your price.
00:51:22Just make sure she suffers.
00:51:25Make it slow.
00:51:28She's disgraced this family long enough.
00:51:42Five million to buy my head?
00:51:44That's generous, Ethan.
00:51:47Ava?
00:51:48How is this possible?
00:51:50I heard someone was offering five million for my life.
00:51:54Care to confirm?
00:51:57Impossible.
00:51:58I checked everything.
00:52:00You were just an assistant.
00:52:01With your half-wit investigation skills?
00:52:04You really thought you could dig up classified agency files?
00:52:11So tell me, sweetheart.
00:52:13Who exactly were you hiring me to kill?
00:52:15Or should I let you show me how this usually goes?
00:52:17Please!
00:52:18I panicked.
00:52:19I wasn't thinking.
00:52:20You're a professional.
00:52:21Professionals don't kill their clients, right?
00:52:23This isn't over.
00:52:38Ava, please.
00:52:40What do you want?
00:52:44What will it take for you to let me go?
00:52:56You die, and I'll let you go.
00:53:10Look!
00:53:11Someone's on the ledge.
00:53:12Is that Ethan Cross, the CEO of Cross Group?
00:53:16One more step, and I let go!
00:53:19Mr. Cross, look at me.
00:53:21Stay with us.
00:53:21Step back slowly.
00:53:22We're here to help.
00:53:23He's my nephew.
00:53:24Ethan, don't do this.
00:53:25Come back inside.
00:53:25We can talk.
00:53:26I can't take it anymore.
00:53:27My wife, Ava, she's a monster.
00:53:29She tortured me.
00:53:30Gaslit me.
00:53:31I just want to be with Cainte.
00:53:32My only love.
00:53:33Did you hear that?
00:53:34He looks terrified.
00:53:35Nobody does this unless something's really wrong.
00:53:44Still playing the victim, Ethan?
00:53:46Fine.
00:53:47Let's give them a tragedy.
00:53:51Ethan, please come down.
00:53:53I know the company's crushing you.
00:53:54I know your depression's been bad.
00:53:56I tried to help you.
00:53:57Doctors, therapy, but you keep seeing things that aren't there.
00:54:01Don't come any closer.
00:54:02It's you.
00:54:03You ruined my life.
00:54:04I want a divorce.
00:54:06Exactly.
00:54:06Ever since she showed up, this family's been torn apart.
00:54:09How dare you still stand there?
00:54:11You're right.
00:54:12I was wrong.
00:54:13I shouldn't have talked about divorce.
00:54:15I won't ever bring it up again.
00:54:16How could someone like me control a man like him?
00:54:19I only wanted to help my husband.
00:54:21Mrs. Cross, your husband's extremely unstable.
00:54:24If you approach, do it slowly.
00:54:26I understand.
00:54:27Let me talk to him.
00:54:28Too many people make him nervous.
00:54:37Nice performance.
00:54:38I saw you call the press.
00:54:40Stay back.
00:54:41Using Kate as a shield?
00:54:42Aren't you afraid her ghost's right behind you, ready to push?
00:54:45You, you...
00:54:55Help!
00:54:56Please!
00:54:56Don't let go!
00:54:57Funny.
00:54:58You didn't sound like this before.
00:55:00No!
00:55:01I don't want to die.
00:55:02Please, I'm begging you.
00:55:03Now you're scared?
00:55:04Where was this skier when you were hurting your wife?
00:55:06Your child?
00:55:12I'll kill you, bitch.
00:55:15You choose Ava in court, and this is what happens to her.
00:55:18Like your mom.
00:55:19Mom, no.
00:55:20Did she beg like this?
00:55:21When you pushed her?
00:55:22Tell me the truth.
00:55:22Did you kill her?
00:55:23It was an accident.
00:55:24I didn't mean to.
00:55:25Just pull me up.
00:55:25Still lying at the edge of death.
00:55:27I gave you every chance to be honest.
00:55:28Since you love playing the victim,
00:55:29I'll stay for the final act.
00:55:31Three, two, one.
00:55:34No!
00:55:44I'm alive?
00:55:48Relax.
00:55:49The fire department had a mattress ready.
00:55:51You're far too valuable to die.
00:55:54Please, let me go.
00:55:57I'll do anything.
00:55:58Two choices.
00:56:00One, you confess.
00:56:02Publicly.
00:56:03Admit the abuse.
00:56:05Admit what you did to Kate.
00:56:06I hand over the evidence.
00:56:07Maybe you get some mercy.
00:56:08And the second?
00:56:12You stay with me.
00:56:14And every second of your life feels like that fall.
00:56:18A living hell.
00:56:19I'll confess.
00:56:22Give me a few days.
00:56:23I'll arrange the press conference.
00:56:26Good boy.
00:56:27Send me the time and place.
00:56:39Activate the final plan.
00:56:47Now, break into her computer and cloud.
00:56:50Every recorder.
00:56:52Every photo.
00:56:53Every journal.
00:56:54Erase it.
00:56:55Completely.
00:56:56Punching through the firewall now?
00:56:58Relax, Mr. Cross.
00:57:00If it's digital, it can be wiped.
00:57:09We're in.
00:57:10Admin access confirmed.
00:57:13Do it.
00:57:14Make it disappear.
00:57:15Forever.
00:57:29Ava.
00:57:31You thought you had me?
00:57:35You think you won?
00:57:37The evidence is gone.
00:57:39You'll never touch me.
00:57:41I'll never see a prison cell.
00:57:49That was your final move, Ethan.
00:57:54The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
00:57:57I'll bring you a real gift at that press conference.
00:58:01Billionaire Ethan Cross announces the completion of the Cross Children's Welfare Center next month.
00:58:06This orphanage is my way of giving back.
00:58:09Every child who's lost their parents deserves a warm home.
00:58:14Those squatters still won't budge.
00:58:15We're running out of time.
00:58:16Then make life uncomfortable for them.
00:58:17Police, inspections, whatever it takes.
00:58:19If not, pay someone to handle it.
00:58:30You two, drink some water.
00:58:33Thanks.
00:58:34We're in the middle of something.
00:58:35You don't need to be here.
00:58:36A warm home?
00:58:38People like you should be building houses in hell, Ethan.
00:58:46Please don't tear it down.
00:58:48The children have nowhere to go.
00:58:50No!
00:58:52My grandson is sick.
00:58:54Please have mercy.
00:58:56Mercy?
00:58:57Go to hell.
00:58:59Cross wants this land.
00:59:05I told you to move.
00:59:08I told you to move.
00:59:22You feed on an old woman?
00:59:24And call yourself a man?
00:59:26Who the hell is this psycho?
00:59:28Get her!
00:59:37I told you to come down.
00:59:40Come back.
00:59:40Come back.
00:59:41Come back.
00:59:49Come back.
00:59:52Come back.
00:59:53Come back.
00:59:54Now I'll be off.
00:59:55Come back.
01:00:23Ma'am, thank you.
01:00:25Ethan Cross wants this land. He sends people every day. Threats, intimidation. People have died here.
01:00:33Died? Yes. He wouldn't let us call the police. Everything got buried.
01:00:38Last month, two workers raised safety issues, then they vanished.
01:00:45Where are they?
01:00:46I... I don't know!
01:00:48You've got three seconds.
01:00:55Two months ago, crane collapsed. Two worker died. Mr. Cross didn't want it hurting the IPO. He made us bury
01:01:01them. Right under there.
01:01:04Ethan Cross gave that order himself?
01:01:06Yes! He paid us! They're still down there!
01:01:11Press conference in two days. Will you testify?
01:01:19We will! The truth has to come out!
01:01:24Building heaven on top of a graveyard, Ethan? Not happening.
01:01:29I forgave her. She only got worse.
01:01:33I forgave her. She only got worse.
01:01:40Press is ready, but something happened at the site.
01:01:44What now?
01:01:53Ava! It's always her!
01:01:59If she wants to play the hero...
01:02:06...make her a dead one.
01:02:11I never wanted my private life exposed.
01:02:14But lies are hurting Cross Group.
01:02:17So today, I tell the truth.
01:02:21Mr. Cross, Ava Cross threatened you? Is she violent?
01:02:26If you haven't lived it, you don't know that fear.
01:02:31I forgave her. She only got worse.
01:02:36...shirted-
01:02:41...but pirates?
01:02:48Cut my brakes?
01:02:50Ethan...That's it?
01:02:53Next day.
01:03:02Chis��� son Pig
01:03:04Fine, let's do this.
01:03:27Some people think power means fear.
01:03:30They've never met me.
01:03:36She fights like a pro.
01:03:39I tried to protect my family, but patience only made her worse.
01:03:44A role model CEO abused like this?
01:03:47She looks beautiful but vicious.
01:03:50For my daughter, I have no choice.
01:03:54I have to expose her.
01:04:05I gave her everything.
01:04:07She gave me pain and betrayal.
01:04:29You're Ava Cross?
01:04:31A woman like you shouldn't be a wife or a mother.
01:04:33What?
01:04:44Did your wife spend your money on other men?
01:04:48Yes, she did.
01:04:50How can his wife be like this?
01:04:53Wild.
01:04:53Reckless.
01:04:55Never listens.
01:04:56I tried to keep her in line.
01:05:00Ethan, I'll give you an answer.
01:05:04Mr. Cross, if she's this dangerous, why didn't you call the police sooner?
01:05:11Because...
01:05:12I loved her.
01:05:22Ethan, you're boring me.
01:05:30Ava Cross, did you abuse your husband?
01:05:33Mr. Cross accuses you of violence and infidelity.
01:05:36What do you say?
01:05:38Ava, last chance.
01:05:41Admit it.
01:05:43I'll tell the truth.
01:05:45I did hit him.
01:05:54She just admitted it? Is she crazy?
01:05:56Poor Ethan. How did he survive this time?
01:06:01So you're admitting it? You abused your husband?
01:06:06I hit a monster. That's not abuse.
01:06:13You hear that?
01:06:15This is who she really is.
01:06:21How can someone this unstable fight for custody? Planning to raise another abuser?
01:06:26Ava, get help. I won't call the police. Just let Lily go.
01:06:29She's nine. She can't survive you.
01:06:33Get out of here, you sick domestic abuser!
01:06:36Mr. Cross is way too kind, still defending her after everything!
01:06:39You've worn that victim mask so long, you actually believe it.
01:06:41The violence is real. The footage is real.
01:06:42What gives you the right to judge anyone?
01:06:45You keep calling me violent? Calling me unstable?
01:06:48Did any of you ask the one person who knows me best?
01:06:53Stop! Mommy didn't hurt anyone!
01:07:01Lily, you can speak now.
01:07:04Mommy's good. Daddy's bad. He tried to hit me. He killed my puppy. He said if I didn't listen, he'd
01:07:09bury me too, like my real mommy.
01:07:11Lily, sweetheart, that's not true! She told you to say that! Ava, how dare you! Get her away from her!
01:07:17Touch her, you lose your hands.
01:07:22It's okay. You're safe now.
01:07:24You see this? She's threatening me! Kidnapping my daughter! I want full custody! She belongs in prison!
01:07:31You want custody? Kate trusted you once. Look where that got her.
01:07:37Get this lunaturk out!
01:07:39You like evidence? I've got plenty. You really think you erased everything?
01:07:45That screen behind you, that's your evidence.
01:07:47No, that's your illusion.
01:08:06You're not just an abuser, Ethan. You're a murderer.
01:08:09You sick bastard! You should have won an Oscar!
01:08:13He actually laughed while hitting her. It's so horrifying.
01:08:17This is slander!
01:08:19What the hell is happening?
01:08:21I don't know. We're locked out. We can't stop it.
01:08:24Cut the power now!
01:08:27Ladies and gentlemen, we've been hacked.
01:08:30I swear on my name, it's a deepfake. All of it.
01:08:36Is this fake too, Ethan? Your own voice?
01:08:46Ethan, what will it take for you to let me go?
01:08:50Unless you die.
01:08:57I wake up afraid every day. For Lily, I endure it.
01:09:01If I disappear, it won't be an accident.
01:09:05It'll be him.
01:09:08This is the last page of Kate's diary.
01:09:10She wrote everything down.
01:09:12She knew exactly what he was going to do.
01:09:14That piece of trash was a CEO?
01:09:18Crossgroup should burn to the ground.
01:09:20A dead woman's diary proves nothing!
01:09:23This defamation!
01:09:25If evidence isn't enough, how about witnesses?
01:09:28The Solo
01:09:29The Solo
01:09:42Still denying it?
01:09:44Let them speak.
01:09:46You're safe.
01:09:48I can testify.
01:09:52He's a monster
01:09:54Every time he lost control
01:09:56He hit me
01:09:58He poured boiling coffee on me
01:10:00He forced us out of our homes
01:10:03To steal our land
01:10:05Workers died on his site
01:10:08He buried them under the foundation
01:10:11Ethan Cross, you're a parasite
01:10:13You're all lying
01:10:16She paid you
01:10:18Then explain this
01:10:23We're recording forever
01:10:32If you're innocent, why hire hackers to break into my cloud?
01:10:36You thought you erased everything
01:10:38You recorded your own confession
01:10:40It's fake!
01:10:41You think you can destroy me?
01:10:44Don't you escape!
01:11:00The world sees you now, Ethan
01:11:02Take a bow
01:11:04Justice
01:11:05Justice
01:11:13Violence is the last resort
01:11:15But when it's the only choice
01:11:18Self-defense means you hit hard enough
01:11:20That they never get the chance to hurt you again
01:11:27That's it for today's class
01:11:29Tomorrow's a day off
01:11:31I'll be in court
01:11:32You've got this
01:11:34We're with you
01:11:36In the matter of Ava Cross vs. Ethan Cross
01:11:39The court has reviewed the evidence
01:11:43Mr. Cross
01:11:43Rulings involving a child are never taken lightly
01:11:46Which is exactly why this court has reached its decision
01:11:52The court finds it unsafe to place the child in your custody
01:11:55The marriage is dissolved
01:11:57Full custody of Lily Cross is awarded to Ava Cross
01:12:00Mr. Cross
01:12:00Your parental rights are terminated effective immediately
01:12:03No contact with the child
01:12:05No, no!
01:12:06Lily!
01:12:07I'm your father!
01:12:11Sir, stand down
01:12:12Stand down!
01:12:13She turned you against me!
01:12:15This is a setup!
01:12:18You did this
01:12:22I love you, Mommy
01:12:24We're free now
01:12:25I told you we would be
01:12:28Ethan Cross now faces a federal probe
01:12:31His company has lost nearly 90% of its value
01:12:34After allegations of abuse, homicide, and fraud
01:12:41Mrs. Ava
01:12:42You just took down one of the most powerful men in the city
01:12:46How does it feel?
01:12:48Is justice enough after everything you survived?
01:12:51To anyone living in fear
01:12:53This isn't a family matter
01:12:55It's a crime
01:12:56Power doesn't make you untouchable
01:13:00And if you're strong enough to speak up
01:13:03Justice will meet you halfway
01:13:15You think someone's coming?
01:13:17You're mine
01:13:18Actually
01:13:18She's with me
01:13:31Who the hell are you?
01:13:33Hunt men like you
01:13:34Congrats
01:13:35You made the list
01:13:52That one's for every woman you hurt
01:13:57Target down
01:13:58Anyone else on the line?
01:14:00One more priority call
01:14:01Luxury apartment
01:14:02Old district
01:14:03Neighborhood screaming
01:14:04Guy just got out
01:14:05Violent record
01:14:06Good
01:14:07He's getting bored
01:14:08Be careful, okay?
01:14:09Movie night
01:14:11Don't be late
01:14:16Wouldn't miss it
01:14:31Ethan, please
01:14:33We just got married
01:14:35How can you do this?
01:14:39I'm teaching you your place
01:14:40You serve me
01:14:42You obey me
01:14:43Don't come near me
01:14:45I want a divorce
01:14:53You think you can leave?
01:14:56Try it
01:15:00What did I tell you?
01:15:01Never say divorce
01:15:03Divine
01:15:06Long time, Ethan
01:15:08Ava
01:15:15Prison taught you nothing
01:15:16That's fine
01:15:18Today's your final lesson
