In the final moments of Furious, a thrilling drama series, FBI agent Alice Black (played by Emmy Rossum) is faced with the choice of which killer to confront after the death of Isabel, a woman whom Catherine Grace (played by Lola Petticrew) had mercy on.

Alice arrives at the scene to find Jay suffering from respiratory failure, and she holds his mouth closed, ultimately causing his death. As she searches for evidence, she discovers a USB drive containing files with video evidence of her own abuse, which had been destroyed by Isabel's daughter Emma.
