00:00:00My grandfather was a thief, and the war gave him the opening he needed.
00:00:04He stole my grandfather's name, her identity, her college admission, and her re-relocation placement.
00:00:10Then escaped Appalachia with another one.
00:00:12Years later, he became a law professor, and stood stage preaching about families.
00:00:17The law exists for one reason, to hold the line.
00:00:20The other became a celebrated traditional painter, lecturing the cameras about character and integrity.
00:00:26If the person behind the painting is crooked, the painting will be crooked too, no matter how beautiful it looks.
00:00:33Meanwhile, my grandmother was trapped in Appalachia, shamed behind her back, and branded a whore for the rest of her
00:00:39life.
00:00:40After two generations of sacrifice for my grandmother and my mother, I made it out of amphibiasia,
00:00:45and became a partner at one of the country's top law firms.
00:00:48I was leading the firm's recruitment interviews.
00:00:50The woman sitting across from me was polished, composed, and absolutely certain the job was already hers.
00:00:57You're not moving forward.
00:01:00Excuse me?
00:01:02I said you didn't make the cut.
00:01:04She's only 24.
00:01:05She's already won the National Moot Court competition and published six articles in nationally recognized law reviews.
00:01:10She's an exceptional candidate.
00:01:12Shouldn't you reconsider?
00:01:13I've considered everything I need to.
00:01:17Brielle, you're not moving forward.
00:01:19Please leave.
00:01:22What the hell is your problem?
00:01:24She looks just like her.
00:01:26The nose, the eyes.
00:01:28She's practically identical to that old photograph.
00:01:31Do you have any idea who I am?
00:01:34My grandfather is a professor emeris at Hawthorne Law School.
00:01:37My mother is a celebrated traditional painter and a lifetime fellow of the National Academy of Design.
00:01:43Both of my parents were federal appellate judges before they died.
00:01:47Everyone in the legal world knew their names.
00:01:48I attend Hawthorne Law School, one of the best law schools in the country,
00:01:52and I'm ranked number one in my entire class.
00:01:54So tell me, how am I not qualified?
00:01:57Grades are only part of it.
00:01:58In this profession, I care more about integrity and whether someone's background can withstand scrutiny.
00:02:04As for your family, they don't earn you any points with me.
00:02:08Now please leave.
00:02:13You're the first person who's ever humiliated me like this in public.
00:02:16My family, my grades, everything about me is top three.
00:02:18Who the hell are you to reject me?
00:02:20You're targeting me on purpose.
00:02:21Sloan, right?
00:02:22Just wait.
00:02:23One word from my grandfather and you'll never work in this industry again.
00:02:30Sloan.
00:02:30Keep going.
00:02:31Send in the next candidate.
00:02:39Sloney, have you lost your damn mind?
00:02:41Why did you reject Briella?
00:02:42Do you have any idea who her family is?
00:02:44Her grandfather is Victor, an enrages professor at Hawthorne Law School.
00:02:47He's worked with this firm for years, and now you've slammed the door in his granddaughter's face.
00:02:51Do you have any idea what this could cost us?
00:02:54So, update the official hiring list and put Briella on it.
00:02:58Now!
00:02:59Too late.
00:03:01I already closed out her application.
00:03:06You're insane!
00:03:08She's...
00:03:13Just wait until this blows up.
00:03:15Then you'll understand what you've done.
00:03:19Yes, this is Julian speaking.
00:03:22Why would I be afraid of this blowing up?
00:03:25I've waited far too long for this day.
00:03:32Sloan, this is Brielle's grandmother, Eleanor.
00:03:35I'll let you two talk.
00:03:49She's certainly taking good care of herself.
00:03:52Sloan, we need to talk.
00:03:58Sloanie, my granddaughter would like an internship at your firm.
00:04:02I trust you'll make the necessary arrangements.
00:04:06Those hands have never done a day of hard labor.
00:04:10But the real Eleanor's hands look nothing like that.
00:04:13The real Eleanor spent her entire life mending worn clothes and old work boots beneath a caramel lamp.
00:04:19Her knuckles were swollen.
00:04:21Her fingers wrapped in scraps of cloth.
00:04:24Even in death, her hands never fully straightened.
00:04:32The interview period is over.
00:04:34Your granddaughter didn't make the cut.
00:04:36Sloan, Briella won the national moot court competition, published six law review articles,
00:04:41and she's ranked first in her class.
00:04:44You shut someone like her out, and you seriously don't see how ridiculous that is?
00:04:48We've already chosen someone else.
00:04:50They're a better fit than your granddaughter.
00:04:54What is not enough?
00:04:56Fine.
00:04:56Name your price.
00:04:57I have standards when I hire people.
00:04:59As a respected artist, I think you'd understand what integrity means.
00:05:14You really think you're that important, don't you, little girl?
00:05:16I've seen plenty of women like you.
00:05:18Pretty face, no shame.
00:05:19You slept your way to the top, didn't you?
00:05:21And now you want to use my granddaughter to prove how righteous you are?
00:05:24Take a good look at yourself.
00:05:26You're nothing.
00:05:27There it is.
00:05:29Fifty years of cruelty hiding beneath that.
00:05:31Her perfectly preserved face.
00:05:33This is who she really is.
00:05:38Brielle lost her parents at a young age.
00:05:40Victor and I have poured half our lives into raising her.
00:05:43Get her internship paperwork processed immediately.
00:05:47Otherwise, my family has spent decades building influence in this world.
00:05:51That's not something you can earn by sleeping with a few powerful men.
00:05:54Don't be stupid enough to turn me down.
00:05:56She may have stolen Eleanor's identity, but she could never hide the cruelty in her bones.
00:06:01The way she treats everyone beneath her like dirt.
00:06:08You know exactly who Victor and I are, little girl.
00:06:12If you dare!
00:06:14Are you finished, Mrs. Langherd?
00:06:16The hiring decision is final.
00:06:17You can leave now.
00:06:19You ungrateful little bitch.
00:06:20I tried to be nice.
00:06:22Now you're going to learn what happens when you cross me.
00:06:24Slolan, are you trying to bring this whole firm down?
00:06:27I'm telling you one last time.
00:06:29Hire Brielle and get her on board now.
00:06:35Brielle didn't pass my interview.
00:06:36She doesn't meet our standards.
00:06:38The final hiring list has to go through the recruitment approval system.
00:06:42And my account is the only one with final authorization.
00:06:45Cloney, you've completely lost your mind.
00:06:47Do you have any idea what rejecting her could do to us?
00:06:49Her grandfather is Victor Langford.
00:06:51One word from him and this firm's future is finished.
00:06:54You fix this right now or you can start packing your office.
00:06:58Fine.
00:06:58I'll call Professor Langford myself.
00:07:00You better mean that.
00:07:04Brielle's grandfather is my grandfather.
00:07:06A heartless bastard who abandoned his wife and daughter.
00:07:10And her grandmother?
00:07:12A thief who stole my grandmother's entire life.
00:07:19Professor Langhard, this is slow information from Acer Minko L.P.
00:07:21I'd like to meet with you in person to discuss Brielle.
00:07:28He's older now.
00:07:29Heavier.
00:07:30But that face exactly the same as the one in the photograph I've stared at for 30 years.
00:07:35Sit.
00:07:37I looked into you, Sloney.
00:07:39A girl from Appalachia who became a partner at a top law firm.
00:07:43Impressive.
00:07:46I came from Appalachia, too.
00:07:48I know how hard it is to climb your way out.
00:07:51Whatever your concerns are, Brielle clearly meets your firm's hiring standards.
00:07:56Give her the position and I promise doors will start opening for you all over this industry.
00:08:02You're still young.
00:08:03What you need most is the right opportunity.
00:08:06He doesn't recognize me.
00:08:08Everyone said I look just like my grandmother.
00:08:11He still doesn't recognize me.
00:08:14Professor Langford, you came from Appalachia, too.
00:08:17So I have to ask, how many people did you step up to climb this high?
00:08:22Enough.
00:08:22What do you really want?
00:08:25Money?
00:08:26Influence?
00:08:27Or are you after something else?
00:08:34What do I want?
00:08:51Professor Langford, all I want is justice.
00:08:57Justice?
00:08:58Before I walked in here, I submitted the final hiring list through the firm's approval system.
00:09:04Briella isn't on it.
00:09:06You really don't know what's good for you, do you?
00:09:08I agreed to meet because I was willing to give you a chance.
00:09:11But you just slammed that door shut yourself.
00:09:13Whatever happens next is on you.
00:09:16You're nowhere near powerful enough to stand in my granddaughter's way.
00:09:31Mom, I'm home.
00:09:40Slolin, you texted me that Victor's granddaughter interviewed at your firm.
00:09:44Is that true?
00:09:45It's true.
00:09:46And I rejected her.
00:09:47You rejected her?
00:09:50Victor is an amniac professor at Hawthorne Law School.
00:09:54Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?
00:09:56I already met with him today.
00:09:58What?
00:10:08What is this?
00:10:12They moved fast.
00:10:14No real investigation.
00:10:15No footage.
00:10:16Just a few lines and one photo and suddenly I'm out of the firm.
00:10:23It had to be Victor.
00:10:24He did this.
00:10:26Looks like she finally messed with the wrong family.
00:10:29People like her destroy fair hiring.
00:10:31Who knows how many careers she's already ruined.
00:10:34How does it feel to lose everything, Slan?
00:10:36Regretting it yet?
00:10:37You should have looked in the mirror before you tried to take me on.
00:10:40You're nothing.
00:10:41I'm walking straight into this industry with my head held high.
00:10:45You, on the other hand, will never work in law again.
00:10:48Slayton, maybe we should let this go.
00:10:50You worked so hard to get where you are.
00:10:52We can't...
00:10:54We're not letting this go.
00:10:56They've owed us this recommend for 50 years.
00:10:58It's time they paid.
00:11:03Sloan, I'm sorry, Sloan.
00:11:06Your grandmother, grandmother and I dragged you into all of this.
00:11:09Mom, don't say that.
00:11:11Sloan, maybe you should apologize to the firm's management committee and appeal their decision.
00:11:15Sloan, you worked so hard your entire life.
00:11:17You walked six miles through the mountains every day to get to school,
00:11:20breaking out in heat reps in the summer, your hands cracking from the cold in winter.
00:11:23Please don't throw away everything you fought for because of what happened to the generation before us.
00:11:28Sat and Chi-Chi's.
00:11:30It's okay, Mom.
00:11:31Don't forget.
00:11:32I studied that hard and fought my way this far for one reason.
00:11:35To get justice for you and Grandma.
00:11:37And besides, my career isn't that easy to explore.
00:11:41Sloan, you already had a plan, didn't you?
00:11:44To find something I could use against Briella,
00:11:46I personally reviewed refinalists' academic record, references, and writing samples,
00:11:50and I found something interesting.
00:11:52What did you find?
00:11:54Those law review articles Briella published, she didn't write them.
00:11:59What?
00:12:01Mom, don't forget.
00:12:02I'm also an Amped professor at Hawthorne Law School.
00:12:05The second I opened Briella's law review articles, I recognized them.
00:12:09They were written by low-income scholarship students I used to mentor.
00:12:12Then how did they end up under her name?
00:12:15She used her family's power to steal someone else's work.
00:12:19She's exactly like Celesta,
00:12:20stealing another woman's identity and pretending it belongs to her.
00:12:25Your grandmother suffered her entire life.
00:12:28She never made it out of Appalachia.
00:12:31Mom, don't worry.
00:12:32They won't be celebrating for long.
00:12:35Once I finish gathering the evidence, they're done.
00:12:40Okay.
00:12:41I believe in you.
00:12:47What is it?
00:12:49It's a message from Hawthorne Law School's Office of Academic Affairs.
00:12:52Are they asking you to come back and teach?
00:12:54Yeah.
00:12:55I'm teaching a new elective and it's time for my next class.
00:12:58Funny.
00:12:59I just said I needed evidence and an opportunity dropped right into my lap.
00:13:14Maya?
00:13:15Maya?
00:13:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:17I am so sorry.
00:13:18I haven't finished it yet.
00:13:19Maya, what's wrong?
00:13:24Professor Mercer, you're here.
00:13:26I'm fine.
00:13:28I've just been working on an article lately.
00:13:30I'm tired.
00:13:31It's okay.
00:13:31Come on, sit down.
00:13:32Take your time.
00:13:35Maya, was the law review article I helped you revive published?
00:13:39Y-yes, it was.
00:13:43Open it.
00:13:44Let me see.
00:13:47Maya, did someone force you to draft a law review article for her?
00:13:50Was it Brielle?
00:13:55Professor Mercer, how did you know?
00:13:58Professor Mercer, I knew you were busy.
00:14:00I didn't want to bother you.
00:14:01And Brielle's grandfather is one of the most powerful professors at Hawthorne.
00:14:04I didn't want to drag you into trouble.
00:14:07It's okay.
00:14:08I'm not gonna stand by and let her do this to you.
00:14:17Professor Mercer?
00:14:19Professor Mercer?
00:14:20But Brielle's family has so much influence, even you might not be able to take them on alone.
00:14:24That's why I need your help.
00:14:30Me?
00:14:30I need you to help me gather evidence of Brielle's academic misconduct and stolen authorship.
00:14:41I...
00:14:43I...
00:14:43It's okay if you don't want to.
00:14:45I'll find another way.
00:14:48I'll do it.
00:14:54Professor Mercer, I'll do it!
00:14:55I'm so done with Brielle.
00:14:56She uses her grandfather's power to force me to draft article after article for her.
00:14:59I stayed up night after night doing all that work and she put her name on every seat taken anymore.
00:15:03Professor Mercer, I've actually been saving evidence for a while.
00:15:05I can give you everything.
00:15:06And from what I know, I'm not the only person Brielle has done this to you.
00:15:11This comment nailed it.
00:15:12She definitely slept her way to the top.
00:15:14I'm almost there.
00:15:15Order me an Ice Americoinica.
00:15:16I need it in 10 minutes.
00:15:17Where the hell is Maya?
00:15:18How dare she not answer me immediately?
00:15:20If I catch you slacking off, you're gonna regret it.
00:15:22Professor Mercer, this isn't going to be easy.
00:15:25I know.
00:15:26But no matter how hard it is, I have to do this.
00:15:30They need to learn that they don't get to control everyone's lives.
00:15:35Professor Mercer, I'm honored to have a teacher like you.
00:15:38I've backed up all the evidence you gave me.
00:15:41Tomorrow, I'll contact every person on that list and speak to them one by one.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:49I should get going.
00:15:53Maya!
00:15:54Stop right there!
00:15:59Are you deaf or blind?
00:16:01How many times have I told you to keep an eye on my messages at all times?
00:16:06I'm sorry.
00:16:08I'm so sorry.
00:16:09You think sorry fixes anything?
00:16:11God, you're useless.
00:16:13Did you grow up in the mountains without ever learning how to use a smartphone?
00:16:16Now go get my coffee right now.
00:16:18I want it in my hand in five minutes.
00:16:20This is a school.
00:16:21She's your equal, not your servant.
00:16:23You don't get to order her around.
00:16:25Slona?
00:16:26What are you doing here?
00:16:27Do you two know each other?
00:16:29No.
00:16:30I was just asking for directions.
00:16:32I happened to catch you out here snapping at people like a rabid dog.
00:16:35Did you just call me a dog?
00:16:37If the collar fits.
00:16:43You!
00:16:46Oh, I get it.
00:16:47Getting fired made you completely lose it, didn't it?
00:16:50How pathetic.
00:16:51So, how does it feel to lose everything?
00:16:54Regretting your choices yet?
00:16:56I warned you.
00:16:57Going up against me was the biggest mistake of your life.
00:17:01Idiot.
00:17:02She's just like Celesta.
00:17:04Shallow, arrogant, and completely classless.
00:17:10That's all it takes to make you run away?
00:17:13If a few words hurt this much, what are you gonna do when you see how many people online hate
00:17:19you?
00:17:20Throw yourself off a building?
00:17:21Don't think being a partner at some fancy law firm made you important.
00:17:26Next to my grandfather, you're still nothing.
00:17:31Here's the deal.
00:17:32Wipe my shoe clean with your face, and maybe I'll ask my grandfather to let you work in law again.
00:17:46Briella, has no one told you we're living in a new era now?
00:17:49Or has that spoiled old money ad attitude of yours messed up your brain too?
00:17:54You bitch! How dare you step on me!
00:18:01There's nothing I won't do.
00:18:03You stick your foot out, I'll crush it.
00:18:05You all come after me, I'll tear straight through every trap you set.
00:18:10You bitch! Just wait! You're gonna pay for this!
00:18:15Professor Mercer is incredible.
00:18:17No wonder she was a top attorney.
00:18:20I wish I could be like her someday.
00:18:21Why are you still here? Enjoying the show?
00:18:24No! I wasn't!
00:18:26If you breathe one word about what happened today, you'll regret it.
00:18:30I understand.
00:18:31Do you even know who that woman was?
00:18:34She was a lawyer at a top firm.
00:18:37Then she rejected my internship application and got fired.
00:18:40That's what happens when someone crosses me.
00:18:43Just keep drafting my articles like a good little girl.
00:18:46Once you graduate, I'll have my grandpa pull some strings and get you an award.
00:18:51With Hawthorne Law School on your resume?
00:18:53That should be enough to land you some low-level job at a law firm.
00:18:57I understand.
00:18:58Enough.
00:18:59Help me inside.
00:19:11Professor Mercer, these are the people I know Brielle has targeted, along with their year and area of study.
00:19:16Okay. I understand. Thank you.
00:19:26Hi. Are you Mandy?
00:19:30Yes.
00:19:31Professor Mercer, this is some of the evidence I collected.
00:19:34I hope it helps.
00:19:42Once the people on Maya's list learned I was investigating Brielle, they came forward with even more leads.
00:19:49Which exposed even more victims.
00:19:51Nearly 20 of them.
00:19:53Victor, how many lives have you ruined?
00:19:58I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be late. I was just...
00:20:03Sloan, you again? Why are you begging? Are you stalking me?
00:20:07If you're that paranoid, get help.
00:20:10I'm an adjunct professor at Hawthorne Law School. I'm here to teach.
00:20:15What? You're teaching the master class I pulled strings to get into?
00:20:19You got fired from your firm and your name is all over the tabloids!
00:20:23What makes you think you're qualified to teach anyone?
00:20:28Talent, obviously.
00:20:30If you don't like it, feel free to compete with me for my adjunct position.
00:20:35You?
00:20:35Oh, right. I almost forgot. You can't accomplish anything without your grandfather pulling the strings.
00:20:45Now get to your seat, you little parasite. You're already late.
00:20:58I'm so freaking pissed!
00:21:01What happened, Brielle? Who made you this angry?
00:21:03That bitch slowly humiliated me.
00:21:06What? That bitch actually dared to humiliate you?
00:21:10Grandpa, you have to make her pay for this. You have no idea how awful that bitch is.
00:21:14A few days ago, she deliberately stomped on my shoe with her heel.
00:21:18Then today, she waited outside my classroom just to humiliate me again.
00:21:21She humiliated you?
00:21:23Didn't Mason and Cole LFC just fire her?
00:21:26She's nobody now. How did she even get into your school?
00:21:29That's what makes me even angrier!
00:21:32She said she's an adjunct professor at Hawthorne.
00:21:35That exclusive elective I pulled strings to get into, it's her class!
00:21:39An adjunct professor?
00:21:40How is that even possible?
00:21:42That little tramp slept her way to the top.
00:21:44Exactly! That's what I think too!
00:21:47She definitely slept with someone to get that teaching position!
00:21:50Grandpa, don't you agree?
00:21:52Brielle, you're absolutely sure you'd never met Sloane before all this, right?
00:21:56Of course not!
00:21:58Why would I ever associate with someone like her?
00:22:00Grandpa, why are you asking me that?
00:22:02Something about this doesn't feel right.
00:22:05Why would she come after you for no reason?
00:22:09And there's something she said before.
00:22:12Professor Langford, all I want is justice.
00:22:16There's something strangely familiar about her.
00:22:20There's something strangely familiar about her.
00:22:23Wait, familiar?
00:22:26Victor, don't tell me you had an affair with that little thramp!
00:22:29What are you talking about?
00:22:30Must you keep calling her that?
00:22:33You're a celebrated traditional painter now.
00:22:36Try showing a little class.
00:22:39Grandpa, anyone can tell Sloane is bad news.
00:22:43Maybe she tried to cozy up to you before you rejected her and now she's taking it out at me!
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:51You may be right.
00:22:52Exactly!
00:22:54Someone with no academic integrity who's always plotting and scheming has no business staying at our school.
00:23:00Grandpa, if she stays, she'll keep coming after me!
00:23:05Fine.
00:23:06I'll make a call and have the school terminate her adjunct appointment.
00:23:10Yes!
00:23:10I knew you'd take care of me, Grandpa!
00:23:16But even that feels too easy on that bitch!
00:23:19No one has ever treated me like this!
00:23:21Who the hell does she think she is?
00:23:22That little trap actually has Victor this distracted?
00:23:25Brielle, I know exactly how you can make her pay.
00:23:31How?
00:23:32She's been bullying you, hasn't she?
00:23:35Go live and tell everyone what she did.
00:23:38Play the victim and let the internet tear her apart!
00:23:41Go live?
00:23:42But I don't even know what I'd say.
00:23:45Don't worry.
00:23:46I'll write the whole story for you.
00:23:49All you have to do is cry for the camera!
00:23:52That's perfect! You have to help me destroy her!
00:23:56Just wait, you little trick.
00:23:58I'm going to ruin you.
00:24:10Slone, it's so late. Why are you still awake?
00:24:15I've collected a lot of evidence on Brielle.
00:24:17I need to organize it as soon as possible.
00:24:19Don't push yourself too hard. Your health still comes first.
00:24:23Mom, we've waited for so many years now that our chance is finally here.
00:24:27I can't stop. I just can't.
00:24:29Sloan.
00:24:31Every time I close my eyes, I see Grandma the way she was before she died.
00:24:35She kept calling his name.
00:24:38And she died with her eyes still open.
00:24:41I hate them.
00:24:42That whole family hides behind honor and morality,
00:24:45but they're nothing but monsters who destroy people without a shred of remorse.
00:24:50They ruined Grandma's entire life
00:24:52while they lived in wealth and glory without ever feeling guilty.
00:24:58That's why I'm going to rip the truth wide open.
00:25:00I'll make everyone see the filth hiding underneath their perfect image.
00:25:05As long as I can get justice for Grandma, I don't care how much it costs me.
00:25:14This should be my last class of the month.
00:25:29What is this?
00:25:34Everyone, Sloan, the former partner at Mason & Cole LEP, somehow became an abject professor at Hawthorne Law School after
00:25:41her firm fired her.
00:25:43Since then, she's repeatedly targeted and threatened me on campus.
00:25:46I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
00:25:54So the whole family is behind us.
00:25:57They really have no shame.
00:26:02Slane, my livestream passed 10,000 views yesterday.
00:26:05Now the whole internet knows exactly what kind of person you are.
00:26:08I heard Hawthorne terminated your adjunct assignment, so...
00:26:13Still think you can take me on?
00:26:14Briella, are you stupid?
00:26:16You're a law student.
00:26:17You do realize you've exposed yourself to a lawsuit, right?
00:26:20Reputational harm, defamation, maliciously spreading false information, inciting online harassment...
00:26:26So what? I don't care. I'm not the one being dragged from hell.
00:26:29Law school is just another shiny credential for me.
00:26:32Only pathetic people like you actually worship the law and believe in fairness.
00:26:36It's honestly hilarious.
00:26:40You're beyond saving.
00:26:45My whole life, I've always gotten whatever I wanted.
00:26:48Even when I couldn't stand, disappeared.
00:26:50Slane, I'm not letting you walk away from this.
00:26:53Funny. I was about to say the same thing.
00:27:08What's wrong, Brielle? Slone's reputation is already in ruin.
00:27:12Why are you still upset?
00:27:13Grandma! I confronted Slone at school today!
00:27:16And she humiliated me again!
00:27:19That shameless bitch!
00:27:20I swear she's driving me insane!
00:27:25Don't get worked up, Brielle. Grandma will think of something else.
00:27:29I'll find another way.
00:27:32I've got it.
00:27:33Since Slone has no shame, we'll use all this public outrage to our advantage.
00:27:37We'll call a press conference, destroy her reputation for good, and make sure she never recovers!
00:27:42A press conference? That's perfect!
00:27:45No!
00:27:46No!
00:27:52Why not, Grandpa?
00:27:54Public opinion may be on your side right now, but I still don't think this is that simple.
00:28:00Slone...
00:28:01I knew it!
00:28:03Victor, you're still carrying a torch for that little thram, aren't you?
00:28:07Stop talking nonsense!
00:28:09I just think Slone is more dangerous than she looks.
00:28:13She's nothing but a talentless nobody who slept her way to the top!
00:28:17You're one of the most respected law professors in the country.
00:28:20Are you seriously afraid of some little nobody like her?
00:28:25Exactly, Grandpa.
00:28:26Slone's a nobody.
00:28:28I had someone look into her.
00:28:30She came from the mountains, and she has no connections!
00:28:34Someone like her could drop dead tomorrow, and no one would even care.
00:28:39Please, Grandpa.
00:28:40Mom, you love me more than anyone, don't you?
00:28:51Victor, Briella lost her parents when she was little.
00:28:55We raised her ourselves and gave her everything she ever wanted.
00:28:58We treat her like she was made of glass!
00:29:00Now some mountain girl is treating her like this, and you're just gonna stand there and watch?
00:29:13Maybe I'm overthinking this.
00:29:15Fine. I'll have someone arranged.
00:29:18The press conference.
00:29:20Thank you, Grandpa.
00:29:26Thank you all for coming.
00:29:28I'm sure you've already heard what my granddaughter, Brielle, has been put through.
00:29:39That's exactly why I called this press conference today.
00:29:54Slone, you need to see this.
00:29:58What is it, Mom?
00:30:05Ever since Slone was fired from her firm, she's been relentlessly retaliating against my granddaughter.
00:30:11She even sent people after Brianna online.
00:30:14The emotional and psychological damage has been devastating.
00:30:17We refuse to stay silent any longer.
00:30:20That's right. Brielle is our only granddaughter.
00:30:24Watching her suffer like this, it's tearing me apart.
00:30:29This whole family really knows how to put on a show.
00:30:33Slone, they're lying!
00:30:34They're trying to drag your name through the mud!
00:30:37It's okay, Mom.
00:30:38Honestly, I should thank you.
00:30:41Thank you?
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:42I've gathered all this evidence, and I was wondering where I could expose it.
00:30:47Then they went and built me the perfect stage.
00:30:56Maya, I need you to contact the other students Brielle victimized.
00:31:00Tell them to meet me at the press conference.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:06They want to weaponize public opinion and rewrite the truth?
00:31:10Fine.
00:31:10Let's see who the mob tears apart when we met.
00:31:13Mason and Cole LFC has always claimed to stand for fairness and justice.
00:31:18I still don't know why I was rejected.
00:31:20But I never imagined Slone would manipulate the internet into attacking me.
00:31:25So today, I'm going to make my credentials public.
00:31:28I can't believe it.
00:31:29I can't believe it.
00:31:31I can't believe it.
00:31:34A candidate with credentials like that was rejected?
00:31:37That's outrageous.
00:31:38Who the hell is Slone?
00:31:39How does she have the nerve to do this?
00:31:41If credentials like these aren't good enough, who is?
00:31:44God himself?
00:31:45How did someone like her ever make a partner?
00:31:48Something shady was going on.
00:31:52Sloane is a high-profile attorney, but she abused that authority to gatekeep opportunities and control people's futures.
00:32:00I'm not standing here today for myself.
00:32:02I'm doing this so no one else ever has to become her victim!
00:32:08I'm doing this so no one else ever has to become her victim!
00:32:12That fake, self-righteous act?
00:32:14She really is just like the rest of her family.
00:32:20Okay, I'm on my way too.
00:32:25Everyone knows how brutal the road through law school can be.
00:32:29My grandfather may be one of the most respected legal scholars in the country, but that only made me work
00:32:34harder.
00:32:35I was terrified of ever letting me down.
00:32:38Growing up in such a prominent legal family must come with a lot of pressure.
00:32:42What Sloane did is disgusting!
00:32:44I truly loved the law.
00:32:45I applied for an internship at Mason & Jean LELP because I admired Ms. Mercer and wanted to follow in
00:32:51her footsteps.
00:32:51But I never imagined she would treat me like this.
00:32:54I still don't even know what I did to make her leave me.
00:32:58She was obviously jealous of you.
00:33:00Exactly. I heard Sloane came from some remote mountain town.
00:33:04She probably couldn't stand seeing someone with Brielle's family and connection.
00:33:09At least my family has some connections.
00:33:12But if she could do this to me, what happens to ordinary students with no money, no power, and no
00:33:17one to protect them?
00:33:18If they're mistreated, who will even listen?
00:33:22I can't stop thinking about all the other students out there.
00:33:26Students suffering just like I did.
00:33:28I can't take it.
00:33:35Please, give my granddaughter a moment to compose herself.
00:33:39I'd like to say a few words.
00:33:42I came from the mountains myself.
00:33:44I know better than anyone how hard that road can be.
00:33:48But I never imagined that in a profession as sacred as the law, someone would trample fairness under her feet.
00:33:54Today, I'm not just speaking for my granddaughter. I'm speaking for every student fighting for a future.
00:33:59Their dreams will not be destroyed!
00:34:06So well said. Professor Langer devoted his entire life to the law.
00:34:11That's what a real educator looks like.
00:34:14I'm actually tearing up. You can tell he's genuinely heartbroken. His hands are shifting.
00:34:19Sloanie owes everyone a public apology. She needs to answer to every student who worked their ass off to get
00:34:25here.
00:34:28A person's character should be like a true work of art. Pure, unfiltered, without a single false stroke.
00:34:37Anyone in the legal profession must hold the ethical line and defend the dignity of the law.
00:34:43We raised Brielle to be too kind and too modest.
00:34:47That's why she was forced to suffer like this!
00:34:53I later learned that in previous hiring rounds, Sloane consistently favored male candidates.
00:35:00No matter how impressive a woman's record was, she always found some excuse to reject her.
00:35:06Maybe she just couldn't stand the idea of two successful women at the same law firm.
00:35:11But my grandfather has always taught me that the law doesn't belong to one gender.
00:35:14Women can be just as capable, just as brilliant, and just as worthy of speaking for the public.
00:35:20Sloane even shows complete disregard for education.
00:35:23And, it's an insult to every woman applying for a job!
00:35:28Today, I'm not standing here for myself.
00:35:30I'm standing for every female athlete who has ever seen us do.
00:35:34And I'm demanding justice from Sloane!
00:35:39I'm getting justice from Sloane!
00:35:46Brielle, what a beautiful speech.
00:35:49You claimed to speak for every female athlete.
00:35:52But when you committed academic fraud,
00:35:54Did you ever think about the women whose articles were stolen and published under their own name?
00:36:03There's a limit to how far you can take this!
00:36:06Smearing me in front of everyone is way out of line!
00:36:09Brielle, everyone keeps saying how brilliant you are.
00:36:12So tell us, which cases, statutes, and legal authorities did you rely on in those six law-ridden particles?
00:36:18What was the central argument for you?
00:36:21Sloane, I'm not gonna help you manufacture a case against me.
00:36:25Don't let her twist in the narrative.
00:36:27Brielle is staying calm under pressure, good for her.
00:36:32Can't remember, Brielle? That's okay.
00:36:34Let me refresh your memory.
00:36:36During your first year at Hawking,
00:36:38you pressured a low-income scholarship student into handing over a course paper.
00:36:43Then you did it again, in your second year.
00:36:46By your third year, there were six articles under your name.
00:36:50None of them cheated.
00:36:52All six were written by low-income scholarship students I mentored pro bono.
00:36:57You took their work and put your name in every single article.
00:37:02You're lying!
00:37:03If any of that were true, why hasn't a f***ed person accused me all these years?
00:37:07This is defamation!
00:37:09Of course they were too afraid of us.
00:37:12Because your grandfather is Victor Lennon.
00:37:18You're standing here making baseless accusations against my entire family.
00:37:23Do you have any proof?
00:37:30I've sent the files to every reporter in this room.
00:37:34These are the original files for all six articles.
00:37:38Every article has a complete revision history.
00:37:40The creation dates, the edits, every draft, from the first version to the final copy.
00:37:45It's all right here.
00:37:46And the original authors are clearly listed in the metadata.
00:37:50Not one of them is Brielle.
00:37:53Brielle, you asked for proof.
00:37:55Here it is.
00:37:57Is this enough for you?
00:37:59No way! None of those articles were hers?
00:38:01And she calls herself number one in her class?
00:38:04Damn, she just got exposed.
00:38:05Why does it feel like there's way more to this story?
00:38:08So, is this the real reason Sloney rejected her?
00:38:12Sloney was fired from Mason & Cole LLP.
00:38:14Are you seriously going to believe someone like her?
00:38:19She's smearing me in front of everyone!
00:38:22Every piece of so-called evidence she showed you is fake!
00:38:25Fine. Call the documents fake.
00:38:28Then let's hear from the people whose work you stole.
00:38:39Why are they all here?!
00:38:43Brielle has been stealing our work since our first year at Hawthorne.
00:38:46Because of who her family is, none of us dared to speak up.
00:38:49That's right!
00:38:50During our second year, she shoved my manuscripts into her own bag.
00:38:54I reported it to the Law School Student Affairs offices.
00:38:57The next day, my academic advisor called me in and told me to stop creating conflict among students.
00:39:05One of those papers was written by my roommate.
00:39:07Victor personally called the school and buried the whole thing.
00:39:11After that, my roommate nearly lost her chance to graduate.
00:39:13She was almost forced to drop out.
00:39:15I'm one of her victims too!
00:39:20She stole a manuscript I spent three months writing and no one would even hear my complaints!
00:39:27All because the school was too afraid to cross the Langford family!
00:39:30You're lying! None of this ever happened! You're all trying to break me!
00:39:34Everything we're saying is true.
00:39:37Brielle didn't just force me to draft articles for her, she treated me like her personal servant.
00:39:41Whenever I did anything she didn't like, she used her grandfather's name to threat me and said she'd make sure
00:39:45I never graduated.
00:39:46I have every message on my phone!
00:39:49Brielle, what do you have to say for yourself now?
00:39:53Grandpa, what do we do?
00:40:04Shut down every live stream immediately!
00:40:10Shut down every live stream immediately!
00:40:14Shut down every live stream immediately!
00:40:15And she had the nerve to play the victim?
00:40:18No family name can hide fraud this up!
00:40:20Investigate her! Investigate the whole damn family!
00:40:22Now you're scared? Too late.
00:40:24Everything that happened today was broadcast live and this room is packed with reporters.
00:40:28By tomorrow you'll be on every front page.
00:40:30And Hawthorne Law School's Office of Academic Society will have no choice but to open the investigation.
00:40:35You've got some nerve, all of you!
00:40:38You actually thought you could turn on me and get away with it?
00:40:41You little bitch!
00:40:42How dare you look at me like that!
00:40:50What the hell are you doing?
00:40:53What the hell did this woman promise you?
00:40:55Something better than what I offered?
00:40:57Better than graduating without me making trouble for you?
00:41:02Brielle, they had every right to graduate without your permission.
00:41:06They don't need your charity.
00:41:08What gives you the right to humiliate them a work they spent months building?
00:41:11They should be honored that my granddaughter wanted their work.
00:41:15They're just scholarship girls with no family name.
00:41:17Even if they become lawyers, they'll never be anything more than bottom-ranked associates.
00:41:22Their work is far more useful making Brielle's resume shine.
00:41:25Tools to polish her resume?
00:41:27Your family's arrogance is alleviable!
00:41:29What's wrong with coming from the mountains?
00:41:32You and Victor came from the mountains too!
00:41:34You!
00:41:38That face...
00:41:38Why does she look so familiar?
00:41:44Sloane, quit pretending you're some kind of savior!
00:41:47Let me make this clear, you can't save any of them!
00:41:50So now you all think you can stand up here and accuse me?
00:41:53Fine, none of you will graduate without a fight.
00:41:56And you can forget about ever working in law!
00:41:58Brielle, does anyone in your family have even a shred of humanity left?
00:42:04Humanity is for people who have nothing else.
00:42:06For people like us, people born with everything, it's just another tool.
00:42:12Do you really think the Langherd family can control everything and everyone?
00:42:16You don't have to be afraid.
00:42:18As long as I'm here, no one will force you to do anything.
00:42:21And the truth will never stay buried!
00:42:24Professor Mercer, we're not afraid.
00:42:25We believe in you.
00:42:30Professor Mercer, we believe in you!
00:42:55Professor Mercer, we believe in you!
00:42:56We believe in you.
00:43:00Of course!
00:43:15We really believe in you.
00:43:17We believe in you.
00:43:19La legge è un business. Considera è un sottotitolo privato.
00:43:24And walk away, and every dollar in that case is yours.
00:43:29Professor Langhart, I was a partner of the top law firms in the country.
00:43:31Do I look like I need your money?
00:43:33I can use my connections to get you reinstated at Mason & Cole LP.
00:43:38I can put you on track for senior equity partner.
00:43:40From then on, every case you handle will be big enough to make national headlines.
00:43:45No, thanks.
00:43:47I've built my career on high-profile cases.
00:43:50My track record speaks for itself.
00:43:52I don't need a firm or anyone else to make me successful.
00:43:55Then what about these students' futures? Don't you care what happens to them?
00:43:58Stop coming after my granddaughter, and I'll make sure every one of them gets a top clerkship,
00:44:02an elite fellowship, or a path into a doctoral program.
00:44:06They'll have brighter futures than they ever dreamt.
00:44:08What do you say?
00:44:18How generous of you?
00:44:20I've always been generous.
00:44:22So you want to own them afterward, and keep them under your granddaughter's thim for the rest of their lives?
00:44:29What the hell are you talking about?
00:44:33Professor Langford, save that speech for someone gullible enough to believe it.
00:44:38The second even one of these students accepts your so-called help,
00:44:41the plagiarism stops looking like thief and starts looking like a deal.
00:44:46Then every victim can be painted as a willing participant in academic disconduct
00:44:50and stolen authorship, maybe even part of a fraud scheme.
00:44:53You'd have leverage over them for the rest of their lives.
00:44:57You'd own them for the rest of their careers.
00:44:59So let me make this very clear.
00:45:01I won't accept a single one of your offers.
00:45:08Why can't this bitch just be bought?
00:45:10You don't want money, power, status, or the future I'm offering them.
00:45:15So what the hell do you want?
00:45:17Grandpa, she's bluffing!
00:45:19Don't tell me you're after my position.
00:45:21Sloan, forget it!
00:45:23Grandpa already said I'm the one who carry on his legacy!
00:45:26The Langfords have been put on a pedestal for so long,
00:45:29you actually think the whole world wants what you have?
00:45:31Drop the act.
00:45:32I see right through you.
00:45:34The moment you saw my name during Brianna's interview, you started targeting her.
00:45:37Everything you've done since has been about proving you can take down the titan of the legal world.
00:45:41You want everyone to see how exceptional you are.
00:45:44You want my place at the top.
00:45:50You think everyone is as shameless as you are?
00:45:53Then what else could it be?
00:45:55Beyond all that, I honestly can't imagine what you could possibly want.
00:45:59What I want.
00:46:05Sloan, you have to find your grandfather.
00:46:09His name is Victor.
00:46:12I will.
00:46:15Law school is just another shiny credential for me.
00:46:18Only pathetic people like you actually worship the law and believe in fairness.
00:46:23It's honestly hilarious.
00:46:26You want to ruin my granddaughter?
00:46:27First ask yourself whether you're even worthy of taking her on.
00:46:31What I want is fairness, justice, peace.
00:46:38I want the truth brought into the light.
00:46:41I want academic freedom and integrity.
00:46:45I want legal education to stop being your family's private club.
00:46:50And I won't stand by while corrupt people like you decide who gets a future.
00:46:55Professor Lengsfield, can you make any of that happen?
00:47:01Young lady, you're clever.
00:47:03I'll give you back.
00:47:04But unfortunately, you're still painful naive.
00:47:08Everyone I invited here, stop filming now.
00:47:12What are you?
00:47:15Sloanie, you spent all this time planning.
00:47:18Witnesses, documents, the whole show.
00:47:20That must have been exhausting, huh?
00:47:22Too bad.
00:47:23As long as my grandfather is here, the truth will never leave this room.
00:47:27You all saw what just happened, didn't you?
00:47:30You saw exactly what this family really is.
00:47:33Are you seriously going to sit there and pretend you know nothing?
00:47:36You're journalists.
00:47:38Your job is to expose the truth, not cover for the powerful.
00:47:42The truth is being twisted and buried right in front of you.
00:47:45You see it clearly, yet you choose to do nothing.
00:47:49You've abandoned your duty and every shred of professional integrity.
00:47:52You're not journalists.
00:47:54You're nothing but tools for the powerful.
00:47:57Sloan, you're still so naive.
00:47:59You have no idea what real power can do.
00:48:01I invite every media outlet in this room, and every one of them owes me favors.
00:48:06The press is nothing but my mouthpiece.
00:48:08They say whatever I want them to say.
00:48:10And when I want them silenced, they won't say a single word.
00:48:14You want to destroy my granddaughter?
00:48:17First, ask yourself whether you're even capable of taking us on.
00:48:22Cut every live team and collect every memory card.
00:48:29Professor Mercer, what are we going to do?
00:48:32Take them out of here!
00:48:34Sorry, Professor Langfeard!
00:48:36Before I came here today, I shared my schedule and location with my family, my legal team, and a private
00:48:42security detail.
00:48:43Yes, Professor Langs did. I'm sure you know some of them.
00:48:46Several people with enough influence to make even you think twice.
00:48:49If so much as one hair on my head or any of my students' heads is touched, they'll be here
00:48:54immediately.
00:48:55Would you like to meet them, Professor Langfeard?
00:49:00Victor, did you really think you were the only one with connections?
00:49:10Sloan!
00:49:11Why the hell did you bring all these reporters here?
00:49:14I learned my lesson.
00:49:17I was worried the reporters Professor Langfeard invited would be too spinless to expose a scandal this big.
00:49:25You!
00:49:26Sloan!
00:49:29Well, look who's here, Julian.
00:49:31Everyone's here now?
00:49:32Let the show begin.
00:49:34Miss Mercer, Professor Langfeard claims you've been publicly defising his family.
00:49:37That's false.
00:49:39This isn't defamation.
00:49:40Every word I've said is backed by hard evidence.
00:49:45Take a good look at the evidence.
00:49:47Ever since Victor began supervisoring graduate researchers and doctoral candidates,
00:49:51multiple students under him have suffered severe mental health crises.
00:49:54Some were even driven to attempt suicide.
00:49:57Every piece of this evidence has been independently verified and authenticated.
00:50:00The sources are legitimate.
00:50:02There's been a misunderstanding.
00:50:04What misunderstanding?
00:50:06Victor, stop pretending you're some respected mentor.
00:50:09How many promising students did you force out of their programs?
00:50:11The evidence is right in front of you, and you still have the nerve to deny it?
00:50:18This is complete nonsense.
00:50:20None of it has anything to do with me.
00:50:22If they became depressed and dropped out, that was their problem.
00:50:26Students today just aren't built for real pressure.
00:50:29Students today are too fragile, too rebellious, and completely incapable of handling pressure.
00:50:35They fall apart over every little thing.
00:50:37If they can't even handle the demands of school, how are they supposed to survive in the real world?
00:50:43I honestly didn't think anyone could be this shameless.
00:50:47Who dare you speak to him like that?
00:50:50It's all right.
00:50:51Young people can be emotional.
00:50:53I understand.
00:50:54But making reckless accusations against someone is completely unacceptable.
00:50:58It proves you lack integrity and have no business calling yourself a lawyer.
00:51:03Everyone, turn to page nine.
00:51:05It lists the academic records of the students Victor survives it over and over the years.
00:51:14These students had elite academic records, top grades, competitive fellowships, published research, and recommendations from some of the best programs
00:51:22in the country.
00:51:23Other professors would fight to recruit students like these, yet he calls them low quality.
00:51:29Do I even need to explain how he treated them?
00:51:32The pattern is clear.
00:51:33His abuse pushed them to the breaking point.
00:51:35They were mentally weak and couldn't handle the pressure.
00:51:38That has nothing to do with me.
00:51:40You're twisting the truth.
00:51:42You're getting defensive.
00:51:44I'm not defensive.
00:51:46You're the one spouting nonsense.
00:51:56Sloan, strong grades don't automatically mean someone is built for graduate-level research.
00:52:00Graduate school is incredibly demanding.
00:52:02It's nothing like undergrad.
00:52:03Some students simply struggle to adjust.
00:52:05Exactly.
00:52:06Professor Langhart has always demanded excellence.
00:52:09Of course, he holds his students to high standards.
00:52:12You can't use that as an excuse to attack him.
00:52:16Wow.
00:52:17You really can't twist black into white.
00:52:19How many favors do you owe Victor?
00:52:21Sloan, shut your mouth.
00:52:23I'm warning you, stop making these vicious accusations.
00:52:27You refuse to believe the documents, fine.
00:52:30Not everyone has time to read hundreds of pages.
00:52:33So let's hear the truth directly from the people Victor hurt.
00:52:36Come on in.
00:52:41You, you, all of you.
00:52:45Ethan, is that really you?
00:52:46You, you insisted on dropping out all those years ago.
00:52:49I was worried sick about you.
00:52:50How have you been?
00:52:52I already paid you to keep quiet.
00:52:54Why the hell are you here?
00:52:56Professor Langford, why are you whispering?
00:52:58Go ahead.
00:52:59Say it loud enough for everyone to hear.
00:53:01But don't worry.
00:53:02Every one of them is wearing a microphone connected directly to the reporter's live stream equipment.
00:53:06And those mics pick up everything.
00:53:13Today I'm coming forward to accuse Victor Langford of stealing his students' work and subjecting us to years of psychological
00:53:18abuse.
00:53:19He never gave us any real academic access to complete projects for him and his granddaughter.
00:53:23When I filed a formal complaint with the university under my own name, he used his connections in the administration
00:53:27to obtain my complaint file, threaten me, and force me out of the program.
00:53:30I worked under him for over a year, staying up night after night doing legal research, reviewing cases, cue-checking
00:53:36sources, drafting research memos, and writing first drafts.
00:53:39The case analysis, the argument structure, the drafts, almost all of it was mine.
00:53:43But the second the work was ready, he took and let his granddaughter publish it under her name.
00:53:47My name was never mentioned.
00:53:49Not once.
00:53:50He exploited my sister for years, stole her research, and humiliated her over and over until she had nowhere left
00:53:56to turn.
00:53:57She finally took her own life!
00:54:00This was never about students being weak.
00:54:03He drove someone to her death!
00:54:04He manipulated us for years.
00:54:07No matter how much we did, it was never enough.
00:54:09He humiliated us in public, tore down everything we accomplished, and destroyed our confidence.
00:54:14He said studying under him was a privilege we should be grateful for, and if anyone resisted, he retaliated and
00:54:19threatened to keep us from graduating.
00:54:22Every one of us lived under his control and threats!
00:54:25He warned us never to say a word.
00:54:28He said if anyone reported him, he'd destroy our academic careers and make sure we never worked in our field
00:54:34again.
00:54:36Victor, with this many witnesses standing against you, do you still have the nerve to blame the students?
00:54:41Slolan, do you think people will believe this just because you coached a mob of people and staged this ridiculous
00:54:48spectacle?
00:54:49Victor's reputation was built over decades!
00:54:52That can't be faked!
00:54:53This is nothing but a calculated personal attack!
00:54:56You think Victor's the only one I came after?
00:54:59You're next.
00:55:03My granddaughter wants an internship at your firm.
00:55:06I trust you'll make the necessary arrangement.
00:55:11I've seen plenty of young women like you.
00:55:13You think a pretty face gets you everything.
00:55:16How many men did you sleep with to get where you are?
00:55:18We spent decades building connections in this world.
00:55:21That's not something you can earn by sleeping with a few more men.
00:55:25This came from a respected artist?
00:55:27What kind of person talks like that?
00:55:28What is wrong with that woman?
00:55:30She thinks every successful woman got ahead through improper means?
00:55:33That is completely outrageous.
00:55:35And she built her whole image around supporting women.
00:55:37God, that's disgusting.
00:55:40I've also received multiple reports accusing you of professional misconduct,
00:55:44illegally trafficking artwork, and even using galleries and art sales to launder money.
00:55:48I did no such thing!
00:55:49This is defamation!
00:55:51Deny it all you want.
00:55:52I've already turned over evidence of everything you two have done to law enforcement and federal prosecutors.
00:55:56And I will see this through until the law catches up with both of you.
00:56:01You hate us that much?
00:56:03Enough to destroy my entire family?
00:56:06I was a poor student who fought his way out of the mountains.
00:56:09I know how hard studying and research can be.
00:56:11I would never exploit my students.
00:56:14Never!
00:56:18Professor Langford,
00:56:19you're always bragging about how you came from the mountains.
00:56:22But were you really that poor student you claimed to be?
00:56:25Did you and your wife really make it out of the mountains on your own?
00:56:30That's complete nonsense!
00:56:32Of course I did it on my own!
00:56:33Professor Langford,
00:56:34you've told that lie so many times,
00:56:36even you've forgotten the truth.
00:56:38Forgotten that you have abandoned your wife and daughter,
00:56:41then built your entire life on the woman you left behind.
00:56:44You claim I abandoned my wife and daughter, but
00:56:48everyone knows my wife Eleanor and I have
00:56:52stood by each other for 50 years.
00:56:58Eleanor?
00:56:59Do you mean her?
00:57:01Or the real Eleanor you abandoned in the Appalachia?
00:57:06What the hell are you talking about?
00:57:09You're making up lies in front of everyone!
00:57:11What are you trying to do?
00:57:13I'll rip that mouth off your face!
00:57:16Everyone, take a look at this photograph.
00:57:27Professor Langford,
00:57:29do you remember this face?
00:57:31She was just a young woman I met through a wartime work placement and vocation program.
00:57:36She had feelings for me, but I firmly rejected her.
00:57:39That note, it only means my wife Eleanor took the picture!
00:57:43That's right!
00:57:44I was the photographer!
00:57:46Sloanie, you can't wave around one old photograph and twist the truth!
00:57:50Is that true?
00:57:57Every one of these letters is signed by the same man, Victor.
00:58:03These letters belong to my grandmother, the real Eleanor.
00:58:07So she's the real Eleanor?
00:58:09Then who the hell is that old woman upstairs?
00:58:12I'm sure everyone's wondering if my grandmother was Eleanor,
00:58:15then who is this woman who's been using her name?
00:58:20She isn't Eleanor.
00:58:22She was the daughter of the local relocation officer.
00:58:25Her real name is Celeste.
00:58:30Lies!
00:58:32Celeste!
00:58:33I have no idea who you're talking about!
00:58:37I'm still denying it.
00:58:39That's fine, I've brought proof.
00:58:41This photo was taken a few years ago when you visited the Marlow Family Cemetery to pay
00:58:45your respects.
00:58:46Your father was the county placement officer.
00:58:49He tried to erase almost every wreck of your real identity.
00:58:52Unfortunately for you, he missed one.
00:58:55I found this in the county archives.
00:58:57So she really is Celeste?
00:58:58She stole Eleanor's identity!
00:59:00A local official's daughter stole another woman's wartime relocation file and placement eligibility
00:59:05and lived the high life for decades!
00:59:07And the real Eleanor spent her entire life trapped in Appalachia.
00:59:12Everything Celeste had should have belonged to her!
00:59:16My grandmother waited for you until the day she died, but you never came back.
00:59:19And instead you ran off with the woman standing beside you.
00:59:22You stole Eleanor's name.
00:59:23You stole her wartime resolution identity and used it to escape Appalachia.
00:59:28One of you became a celebrated law professor.
00:59:30The other became a famous traditional painter.
00:59:32Meanwhile, the real Eleanor was trapped in the Appalachia and bland a whore for the rest of her life.
00:59:37No, that's not what happened.
00:59:39That's fine, I have more proof.
00:59:41My mother is Eleanor's biological daughter.
00:59:44Victor, take a paternity test test with her if you still deny it.
01:00:08This is my birth certificate.
01:00:11I was born in 1974, the same year you left Appalachia.
01:00:15June 13 was the last time you wrote to my mother.
01:00:17You promised you'd come back and take both of us with you.
01:00:20After that, we never heard from you again.
01:00:23She looks exactly like Victor!
01:00:26You don't even need a DNA test!
01:00:29What kind of monster abandons his pregnant wife in the mountains and run off to become a professor?
01:00:34He spent all these years preaching about fairness and justice.
01:00:37How could anyone be this shameless?
01:00:39A man like that gets to be a professor?
01:00:42He doesn't deserve it!
01:00:43No wonder his whole family is rotten!
01:00:46Julian, shut down the livestream now!
01:00:55Looks like Professor Langhert is so terrified he can't think straight.
01:00:59These aren't all your reporters.
01:01:01Some of them came with me.
01:01:03Too bad, this time no one can kill the livestream for you.
01:01:07Mom, you waited your entire life for this man.
01:01:10Today I brought you here.
01:01:12Take a good look at him.
01:01:14Look at his face.
01:01:16Look at the woman standing beside him.
01:01:18Look at the life they built while you suffered.
01:01:25Victor, you're always bragging that you came from Appalachia so you understand fairness better than anyone.
01:01:31But do you even deserve to talk about fairness?
01:01:33Every time you say Eleanor's name, doesn't your conscience eat you alive?
01:01:38This is still defamation.
01:01:41It's all lies.
01:01:44What can I do?
01:01:46Is that really all you have to say to my mother and me?
01:01:49Lies.
01:01:50It's all lies.
01:01:51I didn't do anything.
01:02:02Hello?
01:02:03I...
01:02:04Professor Langhert, this is the Hawthorne University Office Faculty Contact.
01:02:07The university has formed a special review panel and formally opened an investigation into allegations that you falsified identity records,
01:02:12committed academic disconduct, and stolen authorship, and abused your authority to suppress student complaints.
01:02:16You are required to appear for questioning within 24 hours.
01:02:23Back then, I didn't have a choice.
01:02:28It was all her.
01:02:30She used her family's connections to pressure me.
01:02:34Victor, have you lost your mind?
01:02:37What the hell are you saying?
01:02:39It was all your idea!
01:02:42Don't you dare drag me into this!
01:02:46Shut up!
01:02:48If your father hadn't forced me back then, why the hell would I have ever been with you?
01:02:53You have no right to blame my father!
01:02:56You came to me!
01:02:58You said that country rule wasn't good enough for you!
01:03:04You're trying to dump everything on on me!
01:03:06I'll kill you!
01:03:11Everyone, we're with the Joint Investigative Task Force.
01:03:13We're taking over the case involving Victor and Celeste.
01:03:16Victor, Celeste, come with us.
01:03:18Officer, there's been a mistake!
01:03:21None of this is true!
01:03:22None of it!
01:03:23It was her!
01:03:24She was behind everything!
01:03:25I'm the victim here!
01:03:28Take her!
01:03:29Take her away!
01:03:37Officer!
01:03:38If you're taking anyone, take Victor!
01:03:41He did everything!
01:03:42He lied to me!
01:03:43I didn't know anything!
01:03:45So much for 50 years of devotion.
01:03:47So much for the dignity of a respected professor and the integrity of a celebrated artist.
01:03:52It all shattered the second the truth came out.
01:03:55They've shown everyone exactly how ugly human nature can be.
01:03:59I'm sorry!
01:04:00I'm so sorry!
01:04:02This is all my fault!
01:04:03I failed you as a father and as a grandfather.
01:04:07Please, forgive me!
01:04:09Please!
01:04:10My blood runs through both of you!
01:04:12You can't just abandon me!
01:04:16Claire, Eleanor waited for me all those years.
01:04:19She wouldn't want me to go to prison!
01:04:22Just forgive me and I'll stay with you from now on.
01:04:25We can finally be a family.
01:04:30Please!
01:04:31Victor!
01:04:32How could you do this to me?!
01:04:39You're shameless!
01:04:42I'm sorry.
01:04:44I'm so sorry.
01:04:45We're not the ones you owe an apology to.
01:04:47She is.
01:04:48Because of you, she had nowhere to be laid to rest even after she died.
01:04:51She had no identity.
01:04:53There was no place for her in the family burial plot.
01:04:56Eleanor!
01:04:57Eleanor, I'm sorry!
01:04:59Go!
01:05:00He finally gave her the apology he owed for 50 years.
01:05:03But Grandma can't hear it air anymore.
01:05:07It doesn't matter.
01:05:09The debt has finally been paid.
01:05:11Professor Mercer, we did it!
01:05:13We really did it!
01:05:16Yes.
01:05:17We did.
01:05:18From now on, you can pursue your work without fear.
01:05:22You're no one's stepping stone.
01:05:23Your work belongs to you and only you.
01:05:27Thank you, Professor Mercer.
01:05:29Thank you, Professor Mercer.
01:05:32My sister can finally rest in peace.
01:05:37Professor Mercer, thank you.
01:05:39So are you still gonna keep running your street stand?
01:05:42I still need the stand.
01:05:44It's how I make a living.
01:05:45But from now on, I'm gonna use what I know about the law to help people who need it.
01:05:49Professor Mercer, I want to become someone just like you.
01:05:54We do!
01:05:55We do!
01:05:56We do!
01:05:56Same here!
01:05:56Professor Mercer is my role model!
01:06:06Grandma, you were trapped in the Appalachian Mountains for 50 years.
01:06:09Even after you died, you had no place in the family burial plot.
01:06:13But today, you're finally free.
01:06:15And the bastard who abandoned his wife and her finally got what he deserved.
01:06:18The renowned professor Victor Langston has been permanently dismissed, stripped of all academic
01:06:21authors inferred.
01:06:22The law enforcement has been stripped of the conduct, stolen authorship, and abusing his
01:06:25authority to stop from what's up.
01:06:26And since I condensed president, it was spelled law and stripped of all honors to the Philip
01:06:29author, who had her degree to revolve over six pounds of academic fraud, and has been
01:06:32permanently denied admission to the bar.
01:06:33The renowned professor Victor Langford has been permanently dismissed, stripped of all
01:06:36academic honors, and identity for academic stolen authorship.
01:06:38Grandma, can you see this?
01:06:39Victor and Celesta finally got what they deserved.
01:06:42They lost everything, and now they're behind bars.
01:06:44With the sentences they received, they'll spend the rest of their lives in prison.
01:06:48But I heard their granddaughter fled the country.
01:06:51She entered another country illegally and has no legal status there.
01:06:55There's nothing left for her back home either.
01:06:57She'll spend the rest of her life drifting from place to place.
01:07:00With no family, no power, and no one left to protect her.
01:07:04Mom, we did it.
01:07:07Yes, we did.
01:07:12Mom, justice came 50 years too late.
01:07:16But Sloan finally got it for you.
01:07:23I founded this firm and named it True Balance.
01:07:26Because I want every one of us to honor the scale.
01:07:30Uphold justice, and practice law with a clear conscience.
01:07:36Mrs. Mercer, I kept wondering what I should say when I finally saw you.
01:07:39I wanted to say thank you.
01:07:41But those two words feel too small for everything you've done.
01:07:44You're standing here today because you fought your way here, one step at a time.
01:07:47All I did was move one obstacle out of your path.
01:07:50Someday, you'll be in a position where someone is waiting for you to say yes.
01:07:53Waiting for you to reach out your hand.
01:07:55When that day comes, remember the road that brought you here.
01:07:58Let's get to work.
01:08:00There may still be countless Olinners trapped in their own version of Appalachia.
01:08:13The next fight starts right here.
01:08:16The next fight starts right here.
01:08:17The next fight starts right here.
01:08:17If you have been one of us, you'll be like, hold on.
01:08:17No.
01:08:17No.
