Julian: Look at me, Elena. Just for a second. Let me make this right.
Elena: Nothing you do can buy back twenty-five years of empty Christpmas mornings and cold hospital beds.
Julian: I'll resign as CEO. I'll transfer every single share of the estate directly into your name.

Police Officer: Victoria Sterling, you are under arrest for kidnapping, wire fraud, and falsifying government documents.

The bright daylight streams through the grand ballroom windows, illuminating a new dawn where truth and justice finally claim their rightful home.
