00:00:00I'm sorry.
00:00:01What?
00:00:02Are you sure?
00:00:05Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe this.
00:00:08The Thunder Circle just approved us of a direct investment.
00:00:12Wait, what?
00:00:13One hundred billion dollars.
00:00:16What?
00:00:17It's Lady Thunder's move.
00:00:19You know, the ghost chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle?
00:00:21This is her first formal return back to the States,
00:00:24and we're her first target.
00:00:27We got it.
00:00:28A hundred billion dollars.
00:00:34That's better.
00:00:35She was right.
00:00:37It was a hundred billion.
00:00:40Parker, find her.
00:00:42Find who?
00:00:43The girl from the Nairobi flight.
00:00:45Eleanor, I don't care what it takes.
00:00:47You find her.
00:00:49Understood, but what do you want with her?
00:00:53I'm going to marry her.
00:00:54Wait, what?
00:00:56I've never seen a challenging girl like her before.
00:01:02She's the one I want.
00:01:04You self-important bitch.
00:01:11Who the hell do you think you are?
00:01:12I get it, Eleanor.
00:01:14You're not upset about the breakup.
00:01:16You're just pissed about all the money you poured into me.
00:01:19Name your number.
00:01:20Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off.
00:01:23And then we're done.
00:01:25Is that what you think?
00:01:27That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:31How about a hundred grand?
00:01:37Two hundred?
00:01:38Daniel.
00:01:39Three.
00:01:40That's my final offer.
00:01:42Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.
00:01:45Do you really think I'm here for the money?
00:01:48Just take the money and go.
00:01:50Daniel should have dropped you ages ago.
00:01:53God knows what you were actually doing overseas.
00:01:57And what do you mean by that?
00:01:58I mean, if you weren't selling yourself,
00:02:02how else could you possibly have afforded to fund Daniel's education?
00:02:06Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?
00:02:11What?
00:02:13How dare you?
00:02:14Eleanor.
00:02:15For the sake of our seven years together,
00:02:19just take the money and leave.
00:02:22Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:26He's done with you.
00:02:28Get it through your thick head.
00:02:31She's not worth your time.
00:02:34Oh, where's Margaret?
00:02:35Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:37Said she had to handle something first.
00:02:39She'll be here soon.
00:02:40Margaret?
00:02:43Margaret.
00:02:45Daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:02:49Practically next in line, next to the bathroom.
00:02:52Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:02:56Rich, properly pedigree.
00:03:00And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.
00:03:04Eleanor, Margaret's on her way.
00:03:07You should leave.
00:03:09Trust me.
00:03:10You don't want to be here when she walks in because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.
00:03:19So that's what this really is about.
00:03:21This isn't about the job.
00:03:23This is about her.
00:03:24This is about Margaret.
00:03:25At least with her, I can build something bigger.
00:03:28Really?
00:03:29Do you really think that you could build something bigger with her than with me?
00:03:33You?
00:03:34Please.
00:03:35Please.
00:03:36So.
00:03:37You actually think you're better than me.
00:03:46Margaret, my dear.
00:03:47You're here.
00:03:48So.
00:03:49You must be Eleanor.
00:03:50Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:03:51I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:04:07Bargain bin dress, basic face.
00:04:10Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:04:14But don't mind her.
00:04:15She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:04:17She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:20So you actually think you can compete with me?
00:04:23I'm Margaret West, daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:30And you, you're not worth the dirt under my heel.
00:04:35You're right.
00:04:36Unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:04:40Excuse me?
00:04:41You really think that you can talk back to me?
00:04:44Get out of here before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:04:49Exactly.
00:04:50This is a ceremony for elites, not fed group.
00:04:55What the hell is going on?
00:04:57Oh, Margaret, is everything all right?
00:05:05Why don't you ask her?
00:05:07Daniel dumped her, and now she's crashing his party.
00:05:12Well, Dr. Piscot was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore herself.
00:05:16So whatever's going on here, you are out of line.
00:05:20Exactly.
00:05:21Take a look around.
00:05:24These aren't just normal guests.
00:05:26This is Whitmore's A-Team.
00:05:28CEOs, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:05:33And you are just a college dropout who thinks raising children in Africa is a career.
00:05:39I was running a charity.
00:05:41Oh, charity!
00:05:43Is that what we're calling unemployment now?
00:05:47Honey, just admit that you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:05:52Everyone, we all know why she's here.
00:05:55To chase my son, hoping he drags her out of the gutter.
00:06:00So she's a gold digger.
00:06:02How pathetic.
00:06:03Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:06:10Hear that?
00:06:11This is reality.
00:06:12My son, a PhD.
00:06:14Future partner.
00:06:15And you are just the mud on his shoes.
00:06:24Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.
00:06:29Your fairy tale is over.
00:06:31Elinor, a woman can be broke.
00:06:46Or uneducated, but delusional.
00:06:50And that's where I draw the line.
00:06:53No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:06:57Funny, Daniel.
00:06:59You know what my biggest mistake was?
00:07:01Believing in you.
00:07:03Seven years.
00:07:04Seven years of working and wearing you money to pay for your tuition and rent.
00:07:09And this is how it ends?
00:07:10Don't twist this.
00:07:12I didn't force you to do any of that.
00:07:15I'm not twisting anything.
00:07:17I bankrolled your PhD.
00:07:20I helped get you into Whitmore.
00:07:22And the second you get upstairs, you drop me.
00:07:27I said I would pay you back.
00:07:29What more do you want?
00:07:31This isn't a transaction.
00:07:33That's not remorse, Daniel.
00:07:35That's cowardice wrapped up in a check.
00:07:40We're done.
00:07:41You ungrateful bitch!
00:07:54That's enough.
00:07:55I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:01Get the fuck out of my life!
00:08:04God.
00:08:05Look at her.
00:08:06So pathetic.
00:08:08Somebody give me a towel?
00:08:10Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:08:14Lady, that's enough.
00:08:16Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:08:18You?
00:08:19You're humiliating yourself.
00:08:21Get out!
00:08:26We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:28Where?
00:08:29She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:31What?
00:08:32Things are getting ugly.
00:08:33Dr. Prescott?
00:08:35Quick!
00:08:36Get to HQ now.
00:08:40You see that?
00:08:41Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:42Just leave, Eleanor.
00:08:43Before this gets worse for you.
00:08:44Worse?
00:08:45What?
00:08:46Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:08:47You want to be a circus act?
00:08:48Fine.
00:08:49But don't expect me to save you when all this blows up in your face.
00:08:56Save me?
00:08:57That's rich.
00:08:58You don't have the right.
00:08:59You never did.
00:09:00Final warning.
00:09:01Walk out on your own.
00:09:02I'll security drag you out.
00:09:04Go ahead.
00:09:05Call the guards.
00:09:06But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:11And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:13Not even Sebastian.
00:09:14Faster.
00:09:15I don't care what it takes.
00:09:16Get me to her now.
00:09:17Yes, sir.
00:09:18Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:34Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:43Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:46You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:50Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you?
00:09:53You are so dead.
00:09:55In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.
00:10:01If I were you, I'd be more worried that you laid a hand on me.
00:10:06Sebastian might not be okay with that.
00:10:08God, you must really have a death wish.
00:10:11Eleanor, forget it. You're upset about the breakup.
00:10:15But now, you're spiraling.
00:10:18Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.
00:10:21You know, I was actually going to offer you a job as a janitor here,
00:10:25but after this, I don't even think you're worth that.
00:10:29You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:10:32Do you know how competitive it is to work here?
00:10:35Even our security guards have degrees,
00:10:38and you never finished yours.
00:10:41So that's what you think of me?
00:10:44That's reality.
00:10:46And after everything, trust me, Eleanor.
00:10:50Whitmore has no place for you.
00:10:53I don't need your recommendation.
00:10:56And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not,
00:11:00why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:05Where is she?
00:11:14Where is she?
00:11:15Conference hall.
00:11:16It's tense.
00:11:17From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.
00:11:20Dumped her.
00:11:21They broke up?
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:23Well, I guess that saved me the trouble of stealing someone's fiance.
00:11:26What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:31Seriously?
00:11:32You're trying to crash and burn in public?
00:11:35I'll tell you what it is.
00:11:36She couldn't keep you, so she's trying to drag you down with her.
00:11:40Ew.
00:11:41Pathetic.
00:11:42Ex revenge?
00:11:45Don't worry, Daniel.
00:11:46I've got you.
00:11:48Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:11:53With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling ends.
00:11:57Trust me.
00:11:58When Mr. Whitmore gets here, she'll have maybe five minutes left.
00:12:02I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:06Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:11Was it?
00:12:13Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:18Yes.
00:12:23Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:27Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:29He's in the lobby.
00:12:30Wait, he actually came?
00:12:32Oh my god.
00:12:33He's here for Daniel.
00:12:34You hear that, everyone?
00:12:36Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:43This is it.
00:12:44No one can touch us now.
00:12:46You hear that, sweetheart?
00:12:49Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.
00:12:53Get out.
00:12:55While you still have legs to walk out on.
00:12:58This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:13:03Half a million dollars.
00:13:06Half a million? For her?
00:13:08It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:13Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:15Disappear.
00:13:16This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:24Be smart.
00:13:27Take it and vanish.
00:13:29You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:38But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:44You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:02Shit! What the hell?!
00:14:03You dare humiliate me?!
00:14:05So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:09Someone who's gonna change things?!
00:14:12Then go ahead.
00:14:14Make your little announcement.
00:14:16But if it's bullshit, you're gonna be crawling out of here kissing every single person's shoes.
00:14:22Come on.
00:14:23Come on.
00:14:24This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes in here.
00:14:41She's my wife.
00:14:43Is that high status enough for you?
00:14:48Mr. Rick Moore?
00:14:53I did this to you?
00:15:00It's...fine.
00:15:03Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:09I don't recall accepting that little proposal of yours on the plane.
00:15:13I meant what I said.
00:15:15Now let me take out the trash.
00:15:18And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:15:20Did you not hear me the first time?
00:15:21I'm her husband.
00:15:25This woman here...
00:15:27She's my wife.
00:15:29Wait, what?!
00:15:30Mr. Whitmore married?!
00:15:31But he's never...
00:15:32He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:34Oh, God.
00:15:35I'm dead.
00:15:37I'm so dead.
00:15:38Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:39Eleanor, you shameless bitch!
00:15:40You strung Daniel along for years!
00:15:41For what?
00:15:42To sleep behind his back and marry someone else?!
00:15:43So she was already married!
00:15:44She was never in it for you!
00:15:45She just wanted your money!
00:15:46Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?
00:15:47Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:15:48Don't twist it.
00:15:49You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:15:50She's right.
00:15:51You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:15:52Eleanor's a brilliant woman.
00:15:53You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:15:54So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker?
00:15:55He has a PhD!
00:15:56He has a $30 million partner deal!
00:15:57You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:15:58So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker?
00:16:00He has a PhD!
00:16:01He has a $30 million partner deal!
00:16:02You watch your mouth.
00:16:03Please.
00:16:04Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing.
00:16:05And you expect us to believe she has a husband?
00:16:07Let me guess, she has a husband?
00:16:08She has a husband?
00:16:09No!
00:16:10No!
00:16:11No!
00:16:12No!
00:16:13No!
00:16:14No!
00:16:15No!
00:16:16No!
00:16:17No!
00:16:18No!
00:16:19No!
00:16:20No!
00:16:21No!
00:16:22No!
00:16:23No!
00:16:24No!
00:16:25No!
00:16:26No!
00:16:27No!
00:16:28No!
00:16:29No!
00:16:30No!
00:16:31Any husband?
00:16:32Let me guess she hired you!
00:16:33Right?
00:16:34Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride, right?
00:16:37So would you say she hired an after-
00:16:40Look at him!
00:16:42Designer suit?
00:16:43Sexy look?
00:16:45Total escort vibes?
00:16:48Exactly.
00:16:49She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:16:54Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services too.
00:16:58Oh God!
00:16:59That's Mr. Whitmore. She just called the CEO a gigolo.
00:17:07I'm Dr. Prescott.
00:17:09Oh, Uncle Thomas. He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:17:14She hired him by the hour. Let's not kid ourselves.
00:17:17You're not seem to understand.
00:17:19Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:21This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:27But since Eleanor brought him, we don't have to worry about it.
00:17:31Really, Eleanor? You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:35I mean, it just screams pathetic.
00:17:38Exactly. You pathetic social climber.
00:17:41Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:44Wait, please stop, okay?
00:17:46Uncle Thomas, what? I've gotten into you.
00:17:48Why are you so fussy?
00:17:50It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:17:54Don't worry about it, look.
00:17:56I will handle it, okay?
00:17:59You want to keep up the fantasy? Good.
00:18:02But before the night ends, both of you will be finished.
00:18:07So you think this is pretend?
00:18:10Still clinging to the drama.
00:18:14No offense, pretty boy, but if she can afford you, so can I.
00:18:24What's the rate?
00:18:25Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you ten times the amount if you strip for the room.
00:18:31Oh God, no, no. They're dead. They are also dead.
00:18:38Say that again.
00:18:40You heard him.
00:18:42Ten times your rate.
00:18:44Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek. I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:18:49No, no, no, no. I want no part of this.
00:18:53Oh, come on. Don't be shy.
00:18:55Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:18:57You're gonna give us a twirl, gritty boy?
00:19:03Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just crossed.
00:19:08Then stop faking.
00:19:10If you're gonna play pretend, you can't get mad when people call you out for what you are.
00:19:15All right, cowboy. Final offer.
00:19:21Ten times.
00:19:23Name your price.
00:19:32You watch your mouth.
00:19:33How dare you, you son!
00:19:39Baby, are you okay?
00:19:41I'm gonna kill that bastard!
00:19:43Are you insane?
00:19:44Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:19:47I don't care who you are.
00:19:48You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:19:51You two are dead.
00:19:53You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate,
00:19:56and then one will save you now.
00:19:59You just brought war on yourself.
00:20:01You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:05Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:09Let her talk.
00:20:11I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:20:15My father is vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:19Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:22And you two?
00:20:23You just rushed your future back towards him.
00:20:31Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:20:42That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.
00:20:44Who do you think you are?
00:20:46No one else dares sit here.
00:20:48I think it kind of suits me.
00:20:50Thomas.
00:20:52Thomas.
00:20:53You recognize the seat?
00:20:55Would you say I belong here?
00:21:02Yes sir.
00:21:03Of course you do.
00:21:05Are you out of your mind?
00:21:07That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:09No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:12And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?
00:21:15Funny.
00:21:16I'm sitting.
00:21:17And I'm not moving.
00:21:18Got a problem?
00:21:19Hmm.
00:21:20You want to play big shot?
00:21:22Fine.
00:21:23I'll give you one more chance.
00:21:24You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog and beg with Eleanor.
00:21:30Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:32Beg you?
00:21:33Yeah.
00:21:34Get on your knees, bark, and crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.
00:21:48That's the price you pay when you defy us.
00:21:51You hear that Eleanor?
00:21:53You and your little boy can bark together.
00:21:56How romantic.
00:21:57You're playing with fire.
00:21:59No, sweetheart.
00:22:01I am the fire.
00:22:03Now I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:06Now.
00:22:08One.
00:22:15Margaret, please, please, Margaret.
00:22:17Don't.
00:22:18Get off of me.
00:22:20She hit me.
00:22:21You think I'm gonna let that slide?
00:22:23I understand.
00:22:24I do not care if she is the Queen of England.
00:22:26I am hitting that bitch.
00:22:28Margaret, you should apologize.
00:22:33What?
00:22:34You might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:22:37It's not too late to apologize.
00:22:39Just think about it.
00:22:44Has everyone lost their minds?
00:22:47You want me to apologize to these two?
00:22:50Yes, I'm good.
00:22:52The only reason I call you uncle is because of my father.
00:22:55Now I get humiliated and you want me to apologize?
00:22:58Yes!
00:22:59I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:01You don't know what you're going to step into.
00:23:04What?
00:23:06I'm calling my father and we will see who crawls away when that happens.
00:23:11No, don't call him!
00:23:13Letter.
00:23:14I'd love to see what James West is going to do to me.
00:23:18But...
00:23:19Dad, I'm down on the meeting floor and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:24Can you get down here now, please?
00:23:29He's on his way.
00:23:30And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:36Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:38Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian and this company.
00:23:45He's coming now.
00:23:46This time, you're finished.
00:23:48Not even I can help you.
00:23:50Help them?
00:23:51Please.
00:23:52They did this to themselves.
00:23:53She and her boy toy need to be crushed.
00:23:56Best.
00:23:57Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:23:59In my world, you're nothing.
00:24:02Still bluffing?
00:24:03I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in the room.
00:24:12Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:26Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:29What?
00:24:30This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:32What the hell is going on?
00:24:34It's not my fault.
00:24:36This woman is causing a scene.
00:24:38Look, she even slapped me.
00:24:41That's insane.
00:24:42Who here had the nerve to lay a hand on my daughter?
00:24:45Did you tell them who I am?
00:24:47Of course I did.
00:24:48They didn't care.
00:24:49And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's feet.
00:24:54It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:24:56That woman and her man?
00:24:58Completely out of line.
00:24:59Mr. West, actually there's something you should know.
00:25:02Shut up, you fool!
00:25:04You allowed someone to lay their hands on my daughter here in my building?
00:25:09No, Mr. West, you understand.
00:25:11That man is Mr. Whitmore.
00:25:13You dare bring up Mr. Whitmore?
00:25:16Dr. Prescott was hired by him.
00:25:18And this, this is what you allow to happen when Mr. Whitmore is to return?
00:25:23No!
00:25:24I...
00:25:25You.
00:25:28You two.
00:25:31You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:37That's right!
00:25:38Him!
00:25:39He is Eleanor's fake husband!
00:25:41And she is the one that's been causing all of the problems!
00:25:46Mr. West, my son Daniel?
00:25:49He used to date Eleanor, but that's been done for a long time now.
00:25:53He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.
00:25:56Relax.
00:25:57Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore.
00:26:00He won't be held responsible.
00:26:02Oh, thank you, Mr. West!
00:26:06Hear that?
00:26:07My dad is here.
00:26:09He runs this place right under Sebastian.
00:26:12You are so done.
00:26:14Then what happened to all that attitude?
00:26:17Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:20You really have no idea what's coming.
00:26:24Have you completely lost it?
00:26:27You dragged some random escort in here to play husband.
00:26:31And now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's chair too scared to turn around.
00:26:34Hey!
00:26:37You!
00:26:39Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:26:45Alright, that's enough.
00:26:46Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this cloud's face!
00:26:50With pleasure.
00:26:55With pleasure.
00:26:56Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you.
00:27:00Because when you do, your little career crumbles.
00:27:04Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:06No, it's just a fact.
00:27:08He's not someone you ever thought.
00:27:10My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:14No one outrinks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:17And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:20You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:25Please.
00:27:27These two are running this like some sort of drama box show.
00:27:31But everybody knows trash is trash.
00:27:35Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:27:39You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:27:44Really? And why is that?
00:27:46Because you're a nobody.
00:27:48Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:27:53You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:27:56But once that chair turns around,
00:27:58they'll realize it's all you who are done for.
00:28:01You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:28:03You have truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.
00:28:07Well, this...
00:28:09I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:11No.
00:28:13You got guts.
00:28:14I'll give you that.
00:28:16But guts aren't gonna help you if you piss me off.
00:28:21Now...
00:28:25Let me tell you what happens when your little husband
00:28:29tries to con his way into the Wickmore group.
00:28:34Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:35But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:38Maybe we should just throw them out of the country for good.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:41That's what I plan to do.
00:28:44You.
00:28:46Turn that damn chair around right now.
00:28:49Or I'm gonna do it myself.
00:28:51No, Mr. West, please! You can't!
00:28:53Why the hell not?
00:28:55They deserve it.
00:28:57The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared!
00:29:01You know they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:04Apologize?
00:29:06To them?
00:29:08Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them...
00:29:14Sebastian?
00:29:16Mind saying hello?
00:29:18Suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:20That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:22No, it can't be!
00:29:24Stop pretending!
00:29:26Turn that chair around!
00:29:27Turn that chair around!
00:29:45Is that supposed to scare me?
00:29:46I turned the chair!
00:29:48So now what?
00:29:50No.
00:29:52No way!
00:29:54You wanted to see me?
00:29:55James West?
00:29:59Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:01Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:30:03He'll be here any minute.
00:30:05And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:09This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:11Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:14You might just walk out of here.
00:30:16I won't beg anyone.
00:30:18But you?
00:30:20You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:24Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:26If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:28You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:31The fantasy is dead.
00:30:33Now that my dad's here, he'll-
00:30:35He'll kill you both.
00:30:37So get out of that chair, cowboy,
00:30:38before you lose that precious ass that earns you a life.
00:30:41Shut up!
00:30:49Dad, why are you shaking?
00:30:52Oh, I get it.
00:30:53You're gonna kick them out before Sebastian gets here.
00:30:56Perfect.
00:30:57Do it.
00:30:59You two are dead.
00:31:01You see my dad's hands?
00:31:03They're shaking.
00:31:05They only do that when he's really pissed.
00:31:07And the more they shake, the angrier he is.
00:31:10Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:14Please.
00:31:16My father fears no one.
00:31:18And if they're trembling, it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:31:27You still don't see where it sits, do you?
00:31:30Pathetic.
00:31:31You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?
00:31:34Keep talking, Eleanor.
00:31:35You're digging your own grave.
00:31:38Dad, are you done digging yet?
00:31:41Can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?
00:31:43Yes.
00:31:46Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:31:48I'm dealing with you!
00:31:52I'm dealing with you!
00:32:04Dad!
00:32:05You fool!
00:32:06Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:09Me?
00:32:11They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:14Shut it!
00:32:16And apologize to them right now!
00:32:19Apologize to them?
00:32:21Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter!
00:32:23Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:30You...brainless idiots!
00:32:34Do you not know who that is?
00:32:36You can't do this!
00:32:38I just...I'm a PhD!
00:32:40I just made partner at Whitmore!
00:32:42Oh!
00:32:43A PhD?
00:32:45Who made partner?
00:32:46I had no idea!
00:32:48That changes zero!
00:32:51PhD!
00:32:55PhD!
00:33:03What are you doing?!
00:33:04This is my son's celebration!
00:33:07There's no celebration!
00:33:09Not without that guy!
00:33:11Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:16What?
00:33:18Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:20I apologize for my...
00:33:23Idiot kid!
00:33:25Please, sir...
00:33:26Forgive us!
00:33:28Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:29Please forgive us!
00:33:30Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:31Please forgive us!
00:33:32I don't know!
00:33:33I don't know!
00:33:34Eleanor said she was married to that guy, that man, Sebastian!
00:33:35No!
00:33:36No!
00:33:38No!
00:33:39No!
00:33:40No!
00:33:41No!
00:33:42He's not Sebastian!
00:33:43That is just some gigolos that she hired!
00:33:44Dad!
00:33:45Dad!
00:33:46This is a trick, right?
00:33:47This is just some joke!
00:33:48You idiot!
00:33:49You idiot!
00:33:50You have ruined the West's name!
00:33:51Now get our roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:33:54So that really is Sebastian?
00:33:55Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:56I am so sorry!
00:33:57Please forgive me!
00:33:58I didn't know who you were!
00:33:59Please don't ruin us!
00:34:00You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman!
00:34:01But this is no matter who you were!
00:34:02You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman!
00:34:03But this is no matter who you were!
00:34:04This is just some joke!
00:34:05You idiot!
00:34:06You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:07Now get our roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:10So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:11Mr. Whitmore!
00:34:12I am so sorry!
00:34:13Please forgive me!
00:34:14I didn't know who you were!
00:34:15Please don't ruin us!
00:34:16You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman!
00:34:18But this isn't over!
00:34:19James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:34:22Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is!
00:34:36No sir!
00:34:37I am sorry!
00:34:38My daughter is young!
00:34:39She's stupid!
00:34:40And she does not represent me!
00:34:41You're right!
00:34:42She doesn't!
00:34:43You're right!
00:34:44She doesn't!
00:34:45I am sorry!
00:34:46I'm sorry!
00:34:47She doesn't, but you do, and that's the problem.
00:34:52You're fired.
00:34:54No, please, sir, don't!
00:34:56So now I get it, Eleanor.
00:34:58That's why you had no fear, because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time.
00:35:04You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:11No, you've got it wrong.
00:35:13I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian.
00:35:15I'm untouchable because I always was.
00:35:19Seven years, Daniel.
00:35:22And you never once asked who I was.
00:35:25You were so eager to leave, you never stopped to see who you were leaving.
00:35:30I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent.
00:35:33Yes, your academic record is impressive, but here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity.
00:35:38And you failed that test.
00:35:40Your offer is dead.
00:35:42What?
00:35:43Wait, Mr. Whitmore, please!
00:35:45My son has been working his entire life for this place.
00:35:48I'll throw him out.
00:35:49My decision is final.
00:35:50No amount of begging is going to change it.
00:35:53And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.
00:35:55I...
00:35:55I...
00:35:56I...
00:35:57Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:00You have gone too far!
00:36:08Madam Whitmore!
00:36:12Madam Whitmore!
00:36:16Grandma...
00:36:17Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:20The way you have defied this family!
00:36:26You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:30Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do, huh?
00:36:34Ghost us?
00:36:34And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:38About the engagement, I'm...
00:36:40You forgot who runs this place.
00:36:42You might have the CEO title, but Grandma built the Whitmore group from the ground up.
00:36:48And as far as Dr. Prescott and Mr. West, you don't have the authority to fire them.
00:36:52Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:36:57They were getting fired!
00:36:59But who is that guy?
00:37:00Why is he talking back to Sebastian Whitmore?
00:37:02That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:06Word is, through families at war, Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:12Don't overstep, Winston.
00:37:14I'm still the acting CEO.
00:37:15Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:17If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.
00:37:20Sebastian, James has given decades to this company.
00:37:26And his termination is not happening.
00:37:30Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:37:31I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:37:35And as for him, he stays.
00:37:41You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:37:44Grandma, he...
00:37:45Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:37:48And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:37:53We must garner her favor.
00:37:58And Dr. Prescott?
00:38:00He is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:04So, he stays for Whitmore.
00:38:09You got that?
00:38:10Now, let's focus on what matters.
00:38:20Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:23That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:28Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia.
00:38:30I'm already...
00:38:32I have made my decision, and it will not change!
00:38:35No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:38:41He helped me once.
00:38:43I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:38:50Lady Thunder, Whitmore's proposal has been approved.
00:38:53We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:38:55Whitmore, we are our first official U.S. partner.
00:38:57Perfect.
00:38:59Make sure it's loud.
00:39:04I'm going to give my husband a surprise.
00:39:11Sebastian, I know you're upset.
00:39:14But your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Caldwell family.
00:39:18And to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:21That is the future.
00:39:22You'd rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:27I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:39:31Shortcuts?
00:39:32It's called strategy.
00:39:35If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying breaks?
00:39:41And I disagree, madam.
00:39:45That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:39:47You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:39:50What the hell is she doing?
00:39:52Oh god, it's her again.
00:39:54Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?
00:39:57Who let the trash in?
00:39:59Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.
00:40:01Who is she?
00:40:02Madam Whitmore.
00:40:03This is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:07She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian,
00:40:10pretending to be his wife just to oppose your engagement plans.
00:40:13Shut up, Daniel.
00:40:15One more word and I'll shatter your jaw.
00:40:17Do you see that?
00:40:18He's panicking.
00:40:20Madam?
00:40:20Sebastian, those two are lying to your face.
00:40:26That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:40:30That's just part of their scheme.
00:40:33Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:40:37Sebastian and I started out as pretenders, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:43And what are you playing at?
00:40:47Sebastian Whitmore?
00:40:48Are you kidding me?
00:40:50Oh my god.
00:40:51For real?
00:40:57Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
00:41:02Are you out of your mind?
00:41:06You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:09It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:14So you're trying to take advantage now.
00:41:17Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.
00:41:22Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything.
00:41:27Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:30Of course.
00:41:31You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:34What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:41:36Are you scared?
00:41:37Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:41:41And now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes?
00:41:44Exactly.
00:41:45I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.
00:41:48I'm saying yes to you.
00:41:50Just as you are.
00:41:51Then, Eleanor, I say yes to you.
00:42:02I will marry you.
00:42:05There.
00:42:08There's my wife now.
00:42:10Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:21Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:25So what?
00:42:26You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:42:32I see now my word means nothing to you anymore.
00:42:36So let me make this clear.
00:42:39I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:42:47Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:42:51I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:42:53Stop calling me that.
00:42:56The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the theft.
00:43:02And this is only the beginning.
00:43:04Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder.
00:43:06And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.
00:43:10And you will attend, and you will pacify, Sylvia, because it's your last chance.
00:43:17And if you fail, you can go pack your things and move out of our family.
00:43:24And I know you've been chasing investments behind our back.
00:43:37But Sylvia has promised me that unless you marry her, you won't see a single cent from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:43That's impossible.
00:43:45I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:47The deal's done.
00:43:48Confirmation?
00:43:51Talk is cheap.
00:43:52Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.
00:43:57Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received a signed contract yet.
00:44:01See?
00:44:03How I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.
00:44:07And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiancée?
00:44:13You have no idea the hell you've raised.
00:44:16And Dr. Prescott, you'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.
00:44:23Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:44:25You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:44:29That's right.
00:44:30Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:34What?
00:44:35Comes from where?
00:44:37Is that true?
00:44:39The Thunder Circle wrote my son a letter?
00:44:42According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for Polish scholars.
00:44:46Tomorrow's your chance.
00:44:48You play your cards right.
00:44:50She might take a liking to you.
00:44:52Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:44:53I will go.
00:44:56Good.
00:44:57Then it's settled.
00:45:01The Thunder Circle gave their word.
00:45:03They wouldn't back out.
00:45:05Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:08Yes, sir.
00:45:10Hey.
00:45:12Relax.
00:45:13I said they'd invest in you.
00:45:15They slow both.
00:45:16Really?
00:45:18A backroom's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:23We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.
00:45:28And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:45:33You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:45:37You are not invited, but we are.
00:45:41You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:45:43Tomorrow.
00:45:45You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband.
00:45:47Be lucky if you're still breathing by tomorrow.
00:45:50If you have even a shred of sense left, you'll get on a plane tonight.
00:45:55Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:45:59Oh, so I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:02Of course.
00:46:03You're cleaning to Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:06But not even he can support you now.
00:46:08Forget it, Mom.
00:46:10Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:11If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow, maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:18Keep you alive.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:29I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle, you still feel this high.
00:46:35Hey, don't listen to them.
00:46:41I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:46:45Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:46:47I thought this.
00:46:48Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:46:51Yes, ma'am.
00:46:52I get it.
00:46:53You're the dangerous one.
00:46:56But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family, there are a lot to handle.
00:47:01So what?
00:47:02So tomorrow, I'll sign the deal.
00:47:04I'll secure everything.
00:47:06Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:08Wow, what a hero.
00:47:10Now what happened to that cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:16Oh, come on.
00:47:17That was so embarrassing.
00:47:18That guy on the plane, he's dead now.
00:47:20He no longer exists, all right?
00:47:23So my wife, shall we move to the next step?
00:47:27Let's get married.
00:47:32How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:52Everything is ready.
00:47:54The media is locked, and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been firewashed.
00:47:58Good.
00:48:00Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family.
00:48:02This is for Sebastian.
00:48:04So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.
00:48:08Understood.
00:48:09Also, two of our allies are requesting a move.
00:48:13One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Haredi.
00:48:17They're outside.
00:48:18Should I let him in?
00:48:18Thank you, Benjamin.
00:48:25Lady Thunder.
00:48:27Lady Thunder.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:33So, how have you been?
00:48:35Your business is good?
00:48:37Yes, Lady Thunder.
00:48:38And thank you.
00:48:40Your support during my toughest year meant everything.
00:48:44My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:48:47Impressive.
00:48:50And you, Amir?
00:48:52As usual, I'm doing well.
00:48:54Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am, leading my country with stability.
00:48:59It's good to hear.
00:49:00So can I expect both of you at the gala tomorrow?
00:49:03Of course.
00:49:04Whatever you want, Lady Thunder.
00:49:06Just say the word.
00:49:07I will back you, no matter what.
00:49:12I'm afraid I can't attend.
00:49:15Things have grown tense between the Cold West and me.
00:49:20What happened?
00:49:21Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.
00:49:27Crushing competitors left and right.
00:49:30I thought they were acting with your approval, so I didn't intervene.
00:49:35No, I never authorized any of that.
00:49:37It seems I underestimated how far they'd go.
00:49:44This ends now.
00:49:46They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:49:52Well, then tomorrow should be...
00:49:54entertaining.
00:49:55I can't.
00:49:58Let's shake the world together.
00:50:03Cheers.
00:50:17Sebastian?
00:50:21Sebastian?
00:50:23Hey.
00:50:24Just checking in.
00:50:25I wanted to see if you're free tomorrow.
00:50:27What's going on?
00:50:28Well, the gala's tomorrow, and I had a few dresses made for you.
00:50:33If you, you make it sound like you're hosting a fashion week for me.
00:50:38Well, as your husband, it's my job to make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.
00:50:42Is that so?
00:50:44Or is it so you can make your enemies jealous?
00:50:47Who says I can't do both?
00:50:50I gotta go.
00:50:51Talk tomorrow.
00:50:55Mr. Whitmore.
00:50:57Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting.
00:51:00She won't be seeing anyone today.
00:51:01Mr. Lee, I just need to confirm about the investment.
00:51:05Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:06Lady Thunder has a high level of belief in you.
00:51:09You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:51:11Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:51:12PNetwork Outbreak.
00:51:22Hallelujah.
00:51:54Hmm. Tonight is the gala. Luckily, Sylvia introduced us to her brother, Ravine. He owns the most exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave empty-handed.
00:52:14Unbelievable. Mr. Cogwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here costs at least six figures.
00:52:23Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store.
00:52:32Thank you. And your sister, too.
00:52:36Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and Caldwell families at the gala. Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor.
00:52:45Absolutely.
00:52:46That's my boy! PhD perfect! And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner?
00:52:56My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder? That girl Eleanor? Even Margaret? They're nothing. If she notices you and you end up marrying her, you'd rule!
00:53:12You have got to be kidding me.
00:53:17Eleanor!
00:53:19Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerve showing your face around here.
00:53:30Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.
00:53:34Sebastian brought you to play dress up. Adorable.
00:53:42Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear here.
00:53:45Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister?
00:53:50And you are? You seriously don't know? This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother?
00:53:57How shameless! First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiancé and now you're shopping like you belong here?!
00:54:05Wait, so what?
00:54:06Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger cons Sebastian to marrying her. She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.
00:54:17What? Married? Sebastian, you threw away my sister for this cheap whore?
00:54:24Watch your mouth. Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia is over and I'll deal with her. But you never get to insult my wife.
00:54:30Your wife? In my store? I have every right to throw you both out. Her first!
00:54:38Oh yeah? Let me make it easy for you. We'll take everything. Every dress, every necklace, every damn shoe in this place. At the end of this day, the store will be mine.
00:54:50Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Sebastian? You're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:06Maybe it's a little bit better in bed now.
00:55:11Oh, but no. You don't get to speak about my wife ever!
00:55:15Mr. Whitmore! You're not even CEO anymore!
00:55:18Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:55:21Please! My son has a PhD! One day, he's going to surpass you!
00:55:29Surpass me?
00:55:30Yes! My son, Daniel! He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive! Lady Thunder herself!
00:55:41What? I'm sorry, what?
00:55:43So, you regret it now? You left my son and now he's going to marry the woman that could crush you both!
00:55:51Actually, you're not entirely wrong. Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the Lady Thunder. Maybe that was possible. Once. But not anymore.
00:56:00And who the hell are you to say that?
00:56:03Because I'm Lady Thunder.
00:56:08Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle. And you? I mean, you've lost the right to even dream of standing by my side.
00:56:17You? Lady Thunder.
00:56:24Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:56:27Everyone hear this? This lunatic thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future!
00:56:34I don't know, a Lady Thunder stuff thing we can throw around like that if you can't.
00:56:39You bitch! You break into my store spouting delusions?
00:56:44Adam, I'd like you to buy up every Caldwell boutique worldwide. I want the brand under my name.
00:57:01What? Do you even know how much it costs to buy my store, Eleanor?
00:57:07I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder? You're gonna get poor Sebastian killed.
00:57:16So Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:57:20Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:57:26Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:57:31Enough of the circus. Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:57:38If anyone touches her, I'll ruin you.
00:57:43Do you realize what you're doing? You are crossing a line.
00:57:48Seriously, Sebastian. You side with her, you're both done. The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:57:56Oh. Sylvia? Yes, I'm handling it.
00:58:06What? They bought it.
00:58:10The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell boutiques.
00:58:15What? That's impossible!
00:58:17And Eleanor is the new owner?
00:58:21No, no! This is some mistake!
00:58:28There is no way that street rat owns this place! It's a scam! A trick!
00:58:34Well, Levine, looks like I own the shop now.
00:58:37You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:58:43What?
00:58:44You bitch! You can't do this! You have any idea!
00:58:48Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:58:54Do you want to join me?
00:58:57No.
00:58:58Guards! Remove them.
00:59:10Daniel! Could she really be Leading Thunder?
00:59:13Absolutely not. I've known her for years. There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle.
00:59:20Then how the fuck did she buy my sword?
00:59:22You still don't get it?
00:59:24That nanny work she did in Africa, that's where she met Lady Thunder, who just so happens to also run a charity there.
00:59:32So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
00:59:36Exactly. She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.
00:59:43But tonight, I'll expose her.
00:59:46Tonight, her little luck ends.
00:59:51Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me the real Lady Thunder.
00:59:54I can't tell Sebastian everything. Not yet. Not until the gala. Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.
01:00:07You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:09Yes. She visited one of the shelters we spoke, so I reached out to her just now, asked for help.
01:00:16Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:00:21Look, I'm sorry.
01:00:23This is great. I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side, there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:00:29Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:00:34Of course not. You're my wife.
01:00:37And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.
01:00:42Tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you.
01:00:46It's my only job now.
01:00:47That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
01:00:50But tonight, after the gala, it's official. Public. That doesn't scare you?
01:01:10I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:21Winston, congratulations.
01:01:27Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position, and that makes you next in line for CEO.
01:01:35Well, let's be honest. Sebastian has never been CEO material.
01:01:40My grandmother saw that. And so did the board.
01:01:44You've got the support of the Caldwell family, and their ties to the circle aren't small.
01:01:47And tonight, Lady Thunder will be announcing who's next in line for the billion dollar investment.
01:01:55And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked in.
01:02:12You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:17This is the Thunder Circle Return Gallo. As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.
01:02:25Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite, not parading around here like you still belong at the top.
01:02:30And you, since when did Gutter Trash just show up?
01:02:36Eleanor's my wife. You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:02:39Your wife? Did you just sing that out loud?
01:02:41Everyone, gather round. I have a little joke to tell you.
01:02:48Now this man, my brother, used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
01:02:55He could have married Sylvia and joined the powerful Caldwell family, but instead, he married her.
01:03:01A gold digger. Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:08It's true. Sebastian used to be a force.
01:03:11And now, he's just another doughy boy who got tripped by the wiles of a cheap hole.
01:03:15Cheap hole.
01:03:17He offended the Caldwell family? He's dead now.
01:03:21You hear that, Sebastian? Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:03:28You shut your mouth, or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
01:03:33But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.
01:03:36And you, this poor excuse for a wife. I'll deal with you first.
01:03:43I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.
01:03:48Don't you run your mouth!
01:03:57You bitch!
01:03:59You come to me, Winston. You bastard. I'm your brother!
01:04:06You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?
01:04:10Sebastian, let him go.
01:04:14I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:04:17Isn't she just a nobody? Where does she get the guts?
01:04:20Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails. Once he's gone, she's out.
01:04:25You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:04:30You chose a bitch out of blood.
01:04:33That's fine.
01:04:35As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.
01:04:38You don't have the authority to exile me from Whitmore.
01:04:46He does not, but I do!
01:04:54Grandma.
01:04:56Sebastian.
01:04:59I'm going to ask you this for the last time. Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:05No, grandmother. I never loved her.
01:05:09I didn't ask you if you loved her. I asked, will you marry her?
01:05:14No. I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:05:17You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:05:22You might be my grandmother, but you don't get to insult my wife.
01:05:26Do you really think marrying into the Caldwell family is going to elevate us?
01:05:30Of course I do.
01:05:32And what are you trying to say?
01:05:35The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.
01:05:38They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry, Wilmore will be nothing.
01:05:43We can't trust them. And we can't trust Sylvia.
01:05:47No wonder Sebastian's a CEO. Sharp instincts. Looks like I picked the right man.
01:05:56Grandma, don't listen to him. Sylvia promised. And if Sebastian agrees, the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:05You're sure? Absolutely. That's what this whole night is for. And Sylvia is already on her way.
01:06:11Aside from Lady Thunder, she is the centerpiece of this gay law.
01:06:15If we cross her, we lose everything.
01:06:20You're right. We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:06:25Do you hear that? Do you see what we have at stake?
01:06:29What are you laughing at?
01:06:31All of this. You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention. And you call that a strategy?
01:06:42Sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:06:44What do you mean?
01:06:46What I mean is if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle, you don't need the Caldwells. You need me.
01:06:56What are you saying?
01:06:57Don't be ridiculous. Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.
01:07:03It's out of her mind. The Thunder Circle is untouchable. How does someone like her say something like that?
01:07:09You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am. But when you find out, you'll all be kneeling.
01:07:16Prove it! But if you're lying, you know there's a price.
01:07:19I am...
01:07:21This isn't about her lies. She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.
01:07:32Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this, but yesterday Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Ravine Caldwell boutique.
01:07:40Sebastian, is this true?
01:07:44The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder. Eleanor just asked for help.
01:07:49How did she know?
01:07:51Because they played the charity card. Years in Africa, nannying kids. All of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:07:59Exactly. No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family. She has made a career out of clinging into powerful people. She's dangerous.
01:08:11A conniving parasite. You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family and now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:08:21You ruined the Alliance. And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala? We should make her crawl and beg for forgiveness.
01:08:32The ones who have been trying to crush you are the Caldwells. They should beg for forgiveness.
01:08:38You arrogant lunatic! Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:08:43I'm just stating the facts.
01:08:45You know this is a good thing.
01:08:48Facts, huh?
01:08:51That's Sylvia Caldwell. Things are about to get ugly.
01:08:57Eleanor is finished. Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:02Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:05My son, you could do worse than marrying her.
01:09:09Mother!
01:09:11Alright, alright! You were made for Lady Thunder. That's the one you deserve.
01:09:15Sylvia.
01:09:17Thank God you're here.
01:09:19Seriously, Winston?
01:09:20One girl, and you crumble?
01:09:22That it could be.
01:09:23Move!
01:09:28So...
01:09:30First you steal.
01:09:33Then you get our stores.
01:09:35And fire my brother.
01:09:37Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?
01:09:40Why do I have to choose either?
01:09:41Are you that rattled?
01:09:43Good.
01:09:45Let's see how brave you are.
01:09:48Sylvia, don't!
01:09:50Sebastian, you're my fiancé and you're defending her?
01:09:56I never would be married.
01:09:58I came here tonight to talk. To build something better.
01:10:01Better?
01:10:03You call destroying our family legacy better?
01:10:10Fine.
01:10:11You want something better?
01:10:15Neil.
01:10:17Both of you, and beg me for it.
01:10:22That's enough.
01:10:23Enough!
01:10:24I've only gotten started.
01:10:26By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist.
01:10:30Miss Caldwell, you can't do this.
01:10:33You promised to back our rise into the thundership home.
01:10:36You promised Sebastian would marry you.
01:10:39Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:40Do you hear?
01:10:42Neil!
01:10:43Marry her!
01:10:44Don't drag this family down with you.
01:10:46You're trying to doom us all, you ungrateful bastard!
01:10:50What's the matter with you two, Sebastian?
01:10:53Too proud to kneel?
01:10:55Looks like...
01:10:57You're the one who should be kneeling.
01:10:59Oh my god!
01:11:00She's insane! She's totally insane!
01:11:13Oh my god.
01:11:15Sylvia?
01:11:16Are you hurt?
01:11:19Do I look fine to you, idiot?
01:11:26You bitch!
01:11:27No one humiliates me like this!
01:11:30Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.
01:11:31I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:11:34Kill her!
01:11:40This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:11:43It's not only an insult to me, it's treason against Lady Thunder herself.
01:11:48She will be eliminated.
01:11:51And anyone who stands with her, becomes my enemy.
01:11:55This is it.
01:11:56If I stand with Sylvia now, I'll win her and Lady Thunder's favor.
01:12:01Sylvia's right!
01:12:03Eleanor defied Lady Thunder.
01:12:06She deserves to be punished.
01:12:08I second that.
01:12:09She's a disgrace.
01:12:11She defied everything we stand for.
01:12:13We must punish her.
01:12:15Punish her!
01:12:16Punish her!
01:12:17Punish her!
01:12:18Punish her!
01:12:19Punish her!
01:12:20Punish her!
01:12:21Punish her!
01:12:24No, you got it all wrong!
01:12:26Everyone saw what she did.
01:12:28You're really gonna defend her?
01:12:29Did you hear that, Eleanor?
01:12:31Game over.
01:12:33You breathe, because I allow it.
01:12:36When I say you're finished...
01:12:37Don't you dare.
01:12:39If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:12:41Shut up, Sebastian!
01:12:42Everyone here wants her gone!
01:12:44You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her.
01:12:48You wanna ruin yourself? Fine.
01:12:50But don't drag the Whitmores down with you.
01:12:52This is what happens when you defy the Caldwells.
01:12:54So, Eleanor, how do you wanna die?
01:12:57Impressive, Sylvia.
01:12:59You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:01But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:13:03All of you?
01:13:05You're just insects in my eyes.
01:13:07Still mouthing off?
01:13:09I'll send you straight to Hell!
01:13:15And who exactly are you planning on sending to Hell?
01:13:19General Varelli and Prince Amir?
01:13:22What are they doing here?
01:13:24This is the Thunder Circle's Return Gala.
01:13:26Big names were expected.
01:13:28Too bad for her.
01:13:30She's even more screwed now.
01:13:32What are you doing here, Varelli?
01:13:34We were just about to take out the trash.
01:13:36So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle Justice,
01:13:40I suggest you let us finish.
01:13:41Sylvia Caldwell.
01:13:43Who excited me were you planning to kill?
01:13:45Her.
01:13:46She attacked me in public.
01:13:48She disrupted the gallop.
01:13:50Look, I know we've had our differences,
01:13:52but don't tell me you're here to steal my credit to impress Lady Thunder.
01:13:54Steal credit?
01:13:56You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:13:59You're here to steal my credit to impress Lady Thunder.
01:14:02Steal credit?
01:14:04You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:14:06One more word out of you,
01:14:09and the Caldwell name is history.
01:14:11You're serious?
01:14:13Deadly.
01:14:14You touch her again,
01:14:16and your entire empire burns to the ground.
01:14:18Because the woman you just threatened
01:14:21is Lady Thunder herself.
01:14:23Lady Thunder!
01:14:25What?
01:14:27Lady Thunder?
01:14:28Don't be ridiculous!
01:14:29She's just a gold digger, for God's sake!
01:14:41Exactly!
01:14:43She's a broke hooker.
01:14:45This is just another bluff!
01:14:47She's pulling the same stunts, okay?
01:14:50She already used Lady Thunder to crush the Caldwell stores,
01:14:54and now she's doing the same thing,
01:14:56sabotaging our alliance.
01:14:57She's a fraud!
01:14:59You all must be delusional.
01:15:01Fine!
01:15:02If you wanna stand with a liar,
01:15:04you're all as good as dead.
01:15:06Now I understand just how bold your entire family has become.
01:15:10Do you really think that
01:15:12Morelli, Amir, and the entire Thunder Circle
01:15:14couldn't erase your family over her?
01:15:16The real Lady Thunder could.
01:15:18But tonight, she's gonna destroy you.
01:15:21And all your fake pretenders.
01:15:27Weapons on!
01:15:28Lay a finger on her and I promise you,
01:15:34none of you will be alive to regret this.
01:15:37You won't wanna defend a liar!
01:15:41Stand down!
01:15:45Stand down!
01:15:47That's Adam Lee.
01:15:49Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:15:51He only arrives when she commands it.
01:15:53What is happening?
01:15:56Mr. Lee, finally.
01:15:58Your Lady Thunder's assistant,
01:16:00tell them this woman is lying!
01:16:03Tell them she's not Lady Thunder!
01:16:04Lady Thunder!
01:16:05Right!
01:16:06She's just my ex.
01:16:07How could she be anything?
01:16:09Lady Thunder manages portfolios worth billions.
01:16:12She babysits Orphan.
01:16:14Shut up!
01:16:17For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity in Africa.
01:16:21While you were polishing your shoes,
01:16:23she was saving children.
01:16:25That can't be!
01:16:28No.
01:16:30If that's true, then let her prove it.
01:16:35Lady Thunder is to confirm this circle's billion-dollar investment.
01:16:40And the system's only locked with one thing.
01:16:42Her fingerprints.
01:16:45If she is who she says she is,
01:16:48let her unlock her.
01:16:49Yeah, let her prove it.
01:16:51She can't!
01:16:52It's all just empty words.
01:16:54Go ahead, Eleanor.
01:16:56Prove you're the Lady Thunder.
01:16:59Unlock the funds right here.
01:17:01Right now!
01:17:04Eleanor.
01:17:06Are you sure you can confirm this?
01:17:08No thanks.
01:17:09Sebastian.
01:17:11It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:12There we go.
01:17:13Here we go.
01:17:24Here we go.
01:17:25Dr.
01:17:26Highest level authorization, verified Eleanor Thunder, type CEO of the Thunder Circle, 100
01:17:40billion funds activated.
01:17:42My God!
01:17:48My God!
01:17:50She is Lady Thunder, CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:17:54She's investing a hundred billion dollars into Sebastian?
01:17:57What?
01:17:58No, this isn't happening.
01:17:59Now you all know who I really am.
01:18:02She really opened it! Eleanor is Lady Thunder!
01:18:08Lady Thunder! Lady Thunder!
01:18:13What now, Sylvia? What else do you have to say?
01:18:24Sylvia!
01:18:31Sylvia!
01:18:33This is her.
01:18:35Call Mom.
01:18:36May you start.
01:18:38My father will kill me.
01:18:40Take them out.
01:18:41We'll deal with them later.
01:18:55So, Eleanor, it's true.
01:19:00You're the Lady Thunder.
01:19:04The CEO of the Thunder Group and the most powerful woman in the world.
01:19:11Does this even matter anymore?
01:19:14Of course it matters!
01:19:16I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different.
01:19:22Could they have been, Daniel?
01:19:26If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?
01:19:29That I was the one who funded you?
01:19:31That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:19:35We were together for seven years.
01:19:38And you never believed in me.
01:19:42No, that's not true.
01:19:45All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:19:50I didn't mean anything to you.
01:19:55This, this, this, I don't...
01:19:58You made your choice, Daniel.
01:19:59So, every benefit that I gave you, every contact, every dollar, I'm taking it all back.
01:20:12Eleanor, please! We've known each other for years!
01:20:15You've always been like a daughter to me!
01:20:18Whatever misunderstandings are between us, we can fix!
01:20:22A daughter?
01:20:24Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:20:27Not good enough for your son?
01:20:29It was before!
01:20:30I didn't know!
01:20:31I was stupid!
01:20:33It blinded!
01:20:34You, you're perfect, Eleanor!
01:20:38So now that I'm Lady Thunder, I'm good enough for your son.
01:20:43You know, ever since I got back from Africa, this has been done.
01:20:48You and Daniel, you're not part of my life anymore.
01:20:53No! Please, no!
01:20:54No!
01:20:55We were together for so long, Eleanor. Please!
01:20:59Please forgive me.
01:21:01I wanted a fast track to power.
01:21:04Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:21:07You and my grandson make a perfect pair, so congratulations.
01:21:08Yes.
01:21:09Congratulations to you both.
01:21:10Where's Sebastian?
01:21:11That's interesting.
01:21:12Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:21:13No!
01:21:14No!
01:21:15No!
01:21:16No!
01:21:17No!
01:21:18No!
01:21:19No!
01:21:20No!
01:21:21No!
01:21:22No!
01:21:23No!
01:21:24No!
01:21:25No!
01:21:26No!
01:21:27No!
01:21:28No!
01:21:29No!
01:21:30No!
01:21:31No!
01:21:32No!
01:21:33No!
01:21:34No!
01:21:35No!
01:21:36No!
01:21:37No!
01:21:38No!
01:21:39No!
01:21:40No!
01:21:41No!
01:21:42No!
01:21:43No!
01:21:44No!
01:21:45No!
01:21:46No!
01:21:47No!
01:21:48No!
01:21:49No!
01:21:50No!
01:21:51No!
01:21:52No!
01:21:53No!
01:21:54No!
01:21:55Grandma, I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.
01:22:04It's time I've made something that's truly mine, and not in the family's shadow.
01:22:09But Sebastian, you...
01:22:13I think you should be grateful that he's still calling you Grandfather.
01:22:18Don't push your luck, madam.
01:22:23You're right.
01:22:28I will accept whatever choice you make, and respect it.
01:22:42Eleanor, as you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore, a man starting over.
01:22:53But if you'll have me, I'd like to start it with you.
01:23:01Will you stay by my side, and marry me?
01:23:06Of course I will.
01:23:08And this time, as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:23:13I wish I could have done it.
01:23:15But it's just me.
01:23:17I can't do this, you see.
01:23:20I'm sorry I can't be the one to hold you.
01:23:25When the world is on your shoulder.
01:23:28When the world is on your shoulder.
01:23:30When the world is on your shoulder.
01:23:32I can't wait...
01:23:34I can't do this.
01:23:35I'm sorry.
01:23:36I can't do this anymore.
01:23:38We can't take you now.
01:23:39I'm sorry.
01:23:40I'm sorry.
01:23:41I think you're wrong.
