0:23
I built from the ground up we started
0:25

0:28
laptop grinding late nights in our dad's
0:30
garage 15 years later we were killing it
0:34
big office big clients big plans ethan
0:38
and I were a dream team unstoppable
0:40
until last year when it all fell apart
0:43
ethan died in a car accident and his
0:45
wife Olivia didn't miss a beat before
0:47
kicking me out she claimed family ties
0:50
mess up business but I knew she was up
0:52
to something now I'm at Harper and Stone
0:55
Financial Investigations my new office
0:57

1:00
chair but it's quiet and I've got the
1:02
privacy I need to dig into Olivia's mess
1:05
on my desk sits a framed photo of Ethan
1:08
and me from Carter Solutions 10th
1:09
anniversary we're all smiles proud as
1:12
can be that picture keeps me grounded
1:16
reminds me what I'm fighting for
1:18
i'm buried in forensic audit reports
1:21
numbers swimming before my eyes my
1:24
assistant Mia pops her head in she's
1:26
caught me obsessing over these records
1:27
too many times to count
1:30
something's off Mia I say pointing at a
1:33
column of figures olivia's been making
1:35
some seriously shady moves with Ethan's
1:37
company My Brother's Legacy and trust me
1:40
Shad's putting it lightly in the 11
1:42
months since Ethan's accident Olivia's
1:45
gone from barely showing up to acting
1:46
like she runs the show she's torn apart
1:49
everything we worked for piece by piece
1:52
everyone else might buy her sudden CEO
1:54
glow up but I'm not falling for it i
1:57
know she's hiding something big
2:00
let's flash back to 3 months ago i'm in
2:03
the boardroom and Olivia sitting in
2:04
Ethan's chair all polished in a sharp
2:07
blazer nails on point she slides a
2:10
folder my way her voice dripping with
2:14
emily we need to talk about your role
2:16
here she's got this severance package
2:19
says the board thinks family in top
2:21
spots is a problem for investors i'm
2:24
fuming but I keep it together
2:27
i helped build this company from nothing
2:29
i say you can't just Oh but I can she
2:32
cuts me off her smile turning icy as
2:36
majority shareholder I'm shaking things
2:38
up the paperwork's already done i didn't
2:40
touch that folder i stood up
2:43
straightened my jacket and headed for
2:45
the door but I stopped and looked back
2:49
you know Olivia Ethan always said you
2:51
were sharper than you let on guess he
2:54
was right her eyes narrowed and I added
2:57
"That's not a compliment it's a warning
3:01
back in my office I'm kneede in
3:03
transaction records offshore accounts
3:06
missing funds the works there's a
3:08
pattern here and it's not just greed
3:11
it's something darker bigger mia drops
3:15
off a coffee says the insurance
3:17
investigator called again asking if I
3:19
found anything weird i touched the USB
3:22
drive around my neck ethan gave it to me
3:25
a week before he died looking way too
3:29
backup files he said forcing a smile
3:31
keep them safe okay i didn't think much
3:34
of it then but now cross-checking those
3:36
files with company records I'm finding
3:39
gaps that scream trouble my phone buzzes
3:42
a text from Olivia heard you're digging
3:44
around be careful Emily some things are
3:48
i smirk at the screen my desk covered in
3:53
oh Olivia I mutter i'm not just digging
3:56
i'm tearing your world down the question
3:59
isn't if Olivia's stealing i've got
4:02
proof of that it's why why did she
4:05
suddenly care about the company and why
4:07
did Ethan have to die for her to make
4:09
her move two weeks later I'm at a shady
4:13
diner meeting Lucas Reed our old head of
4:15
cyber security he's nervous eyes darting
4:18
like he's expecting trouble
4:21
i shouldn't be here he mumbles clutching
4:23
his glass if Olivia finds out she won't
4:27
I say sliding a folder his way but I
4:30
need to know what you found on Ethan's
4:32
laptop after the accident he hesitates
4:35
then leans in voice low olivia told me
4:39
to wipe it clean but I saw encrypted
4:41
files dozens of them created weeks
4:44
before he died and remote access logs
4:48
someone was spying on his computer for
4:50
months my heart races he shows me a
4:53
photo of a file named Project Nexus that
4:56
name it's in those sketchy financial
4:59
records before I can ask more Mia texts
5:03
olivia's at the office demanding old
5:05
records says the board approved it i
5:08
rush back and find Olivia in the
5:10
reception area all smug smiles emily
5:13
fancy seeing you she says fake as ever
5:16
just grabbing some records for a routine
5:20
funny I shoot back i didn't hear about
5:22
any board meeting then I hit her with it
5:25
how's Project Nexus going her face
5:28
freezes for a split second pure shock
5:31
"no idea what you mean," she says but
5:34
her voice shakes i step closer voice low
5:38
"i know about the spying on Ethan's
5:40
computer i know about the money and soon
5:42
I'll know why my brother's gone." Her
5:45
smile's gone "you're playing a dangerous
5:48
game Emily." She says "Back off." That
5:52
night I'm digging into Nexus Consulting
5:54
a so-called tech firm tied to Olivia's
5:56
payments their website's slick but their
5:59
address is an empty lot in Dubai
6:02
then Detective Alvarez from the accident
6:04
unit shows up we found tampering in
6:07
Ethan's brake lines he says
6:09
"Professional work matches a hitman
6:11
linked to Nexus Consulting." It clicks
6:15
nexus isn't just a front it's a cover
6:17
for something dark and Olivia was in
6:19
deep way before Ethan died then my
6:22
computer pings "Someone's trying to hack
6:25
our server from Carter Solutions they're
6:27
desperate." I tell Alvarez "We're
6:30
getting close." An anonymous email pops
6:33
up with a video from the night before
6:34
Ethan's accident it shows him in his
6:37
office pissed copying files olivia walks
6:40
in and they argue she gets aggressive he
6:43
backs off clutching a USB drive the one
6:45
around my neck i look at Alvarez
6:49
detective I know why Ethan died and I
6:52
can prove it the boardroom's dead quiet
6:54
as I wrap up my presentation olivia's at
6:57
the head of the table her perfect act
7:00
project Nexus wasn't just a business
7:02
plan I say it was a cover for murder
7:06
i play the security footage ethan and
7:08
Olivia's fight the board stunned the
7:12
next day I go on ethan's brakes failed
7:15
hours later Nexus Consulting got two
7:17
million bucks olivia snaps you've got
7:20
nothing but I nod to the door and
7:23
Alvarez steps in nexus wasn't a
7:26
consultancy i say they do sabotage and
7:29
worse olivia your secret accounts tied
7:32
it all together as the cops cuff her
7:35
Olivia screams he was going to ruin
7:37
everything he didn't deserve the company
7:40
i step forward voice ice cold the
7:43
company was Ethan's heart
7:45
and now it's your end 3 months later I'm
7:48
back in my old office as a CEO olivia's
7:51
trial is done and with Lucas and Alvarez
7:53
testifying she's locked up i set Ethan's
7:57
photo on my desk next to a newspaper
7:59
headline corporate murder exposed olivia
8:05
"we did it Ethan," I whisper touching
8:07
the frame justice took its time but it
8:10
showed up mia texts about Nexus's full
8:13
records more accidents they arranged i
8:16
smile send them over I reply we're not
