00:00:00I'm sorry. What? Are you sure?
00:00:05Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe it.
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.
00:00:18You know, the ghost chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle?
00:00:21This is her first formal return back to the States and we're her first target.
00:00:27You 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.
00:00:39Parker, find her.
00:00:42Find who?
00:00:43The girl from the Nairobi flight, Eleanor.
00:00:46I don't care what it takes, you find her.
00:00:48Understood, but what do you want with her?
00:00:52I'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.
00:01:08You 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 and then we're done.
00:01:25Is that what you think?
00:01:27That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:30How about a hundred grand?
00:01:36Two hundred?
00:01:37Daniel.
00:01:38Three.
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.
00:01:56And what do you mean by that?
00:01:58I mean, if you weren't selling yourself, how 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, Eleanor?
00:02:15For the sake of our seven years together.
00:02:19Just take the money and leave.
00:02:21Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:24He's done it with you.
00:02:27Get it through your thick head.
00:02:31She's not worth your time.
00:02:33Oh, where's Margaret?
00:02:34Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:36Said she had to handle something first, but she'll be here soon.
00:02:39Margaret?
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 pedigreed.
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, you don't want to be here when she walks in.
00:03:12Because 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?
00:03:35Please.
00:03:37So.
00:03:43Do you actually think you're better than me?
00:03:54Margaret, my dear.
00:03:55You're here.
00:03:58So.
00:03:59Who must be Eleanor?
00:04:01Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:04:04I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:04:07Bargain bin dress.
00:04:08Basic face.
00:04:10Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:04:13But 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?
00:04:24I'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.
00:04:37Unlike 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.
00:04:52This is a ceremony for elites, not fed group.
00:04:56What the hell is going on?
00:05:01Oh, Margaret.
00:05:04Is everything all right?
00:05:05Why don't you ask her?
00:05:07Daniel dumped her and now she's crashing his party.
00:05:11Well, Dr. Prescott was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore himself.
00:05:17So whatever's going on here, you are out of line.
00:05:21Exactly.
00:05:22Take a look around.
00:05:25These aren't just normal guests.
00:05:27This is Whitmore's A-Team.
00:05:29CEOs, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:05:34And you are just a college dropout who thinks raising children in Africa is a career.
00:05:40I was running a charity.
00:05:42Oh, charity!
00:05:45Is 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? This 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.
00:06:31Eleanor, a woman can be broke.
00:06:46Or uneducated, but delusional.
00:06:51Now, that's where I draw the line.
00:06:53No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:06:58Funny, 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.
00:07:13I didn't force you to do any of that.
00:07:15I'm not twisting anything.
00:07:18I bankrolled your PhD.
00:07:20I helped get you into Whitmore.
00:07:23And the second you get upstairs, you drop me.
00:07:28I 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.
00:07:47You ungrateful bitch!
00:07:54That's enough.
00:07:56I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:01Get the fuck out of my life!
00:08:04Oh god.
00:08:06Look at her.
00:08:07So pathetic.
00:08:09Somebody 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.
00:08:18If you, you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:22Get out!
00:08:27We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:28What?
00:08:28Where?
00:08:29She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:32But things are getting ugly.
00:08:34Dr. Prescott.
00:08:36Quick.
00:08:37Get to HQ now.
00:08:44You see that?
00:08:45Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:49Just leave, Eleanor, before this gets worse for you.
00:08:53Worse?
00:08:55What, because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:08:59You want to be a circus act?
00:09:01Fine.
00:09:02But don't expect me to save you when all this blows up in your face.
00:09:06Save me?
00:09:07That's rich.
00:09:08You don't have the right.
00:09:10You never did.
00:09:12Final warning.
00:09:14Walk out on your own.
00:09:15Or I'll security drag you out.
00:09:18Go ahead.
00:09:20Call the guards.
00:09:21But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:24And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:27Not even Sebastian.
00:09:30Faster.
00:09:31I don't care what it takes.
00:09:32Get me to her now.
00:09:33Yes, sir.
00:09:37Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
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?
00:09:54You are so dumb.
00:09:56In 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.
00:10:05Sebastian might not be okay with that.
00:10:08God, you must really have a death wish.
00:10:11Eleanor, forget it.
00:10:13You're upset about the breakup, but now you're spiraling.
00:10:19Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.
00:10:21You know, I was actually going to offer you a job as a janitor here, but after this, I don't even think you're worth that.
00:10:30You 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, and you never finished yours.
00:10:41So that's what you think of me?
00:10:45That'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.
00:10:57And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not, why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:10Where is she?
00:11:15Where is she?
00:11:15Conference hall.
00:11:16It's tents.
00:11:17From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.
00:11:21Dumped her.
00:11:22They broke up?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:23Well, I guess that saved me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancƩe.
00:11:29What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:32Seriously, you'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.
00:11:47I've got you.
00:11:51Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:11:54With 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.
00:12:03I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:07Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:11Was it?
00:12:13Because when the truth comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:20What?
00:12:22Yes.
00:12:23Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:27Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:29He's in the lobby.
00:12:31Wait, he actually came?
00:12:32Oh my god, he's here for Daniel.
00:12:35You hear that, everyone?
00:12:36Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:40This is it.
00:12:44No one can touch us now.
00:12:48You hear that, sweetheart?
00:12:49Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.
00:12:53Get out, as long as 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?
00:13:07For her?
00:13:08It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:14Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:15Disappear.
00:13:16This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:22Be smart.
00:13:27Take it and vanish.
00:13:33You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:41But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:52You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:02What the hell?
00:14:04You dare humiliate me?
00:14:07So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:10Someone who's gonna change things?
00:14:13Then go ahead.
00:14:15Make your little announcement.
00:14:17But if it's bullshit, you're gonna be crawling out of here,
00:14:20kissing every single person's shoes.
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?
00:14:44I did this to you?
00:15:00It's fine.
00:15:03Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:05I 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.
00:15:17And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:15:20Did you not hear me the first time?
00:15:22I'm her husband.
00:15:25This woman here, she's my wife.
00:15:29Wait, what? Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:31But he's never, he's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:34Oh god, I'm dead.
00:15:37I'm so dead.
00:15:43Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:45Eleanor, you shameless bitch!
00:15:47You strung Daniel along for years, for what? To sleep behind his back and marry someone else?
00:15:53So she was already married.
00:15:54She was never in it for you.
00:15:55She just wanted your money.
00:15:57Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?
00:16:00Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:16:02Don't twist it.
00:16:04You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:16:06She's right.
00:16:07You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:16:10Eleanor's a brilliant woman.
00:16:12You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:16:15So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker.
00:16:18He has a PhD.
00:16:20He has a 30 million dollar partner deal.
00:16:23You watch your mouth.
00:16:25Please.
00:16:26Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing and you expect us to believe she has a husband?
00:16:31Let me guess, she hired you, right?
00:16:33Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride, right?
00:16:38So would you say she hired an answer?
00:16:41Look at him.
00:16:42Designer suit, sexy look, total escort vibes.
00:16:48Exactly.
00:16:50She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:16:54Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services too.
00:16:58Oh god, that's Mr. Whitmore.
00:17:01She just called the CEO a gigolo.
00:17:03I'm Dr. Prescott.
00:17:10Oh, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:11He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:17:14She hired him by the hour.
00:17:16Let's not kid ourselves.
00:17:17Okay, I just need to understand.
00:17:19Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:21This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:28But since Eleanor brought him, we don't have to worry about it.
00:17:31Really, Eleanor?
00:17:33You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:35I mean, it just screams.
00:17:37Pathetic.
00:17:38Exactly, you pathetic social climber.
00:17:42Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:45Wait, wait, please stop, okay?
00:17:46Uncle Thomas, what?
00:17:47I've gotten into you.
00:17:49Why do I feel fussy?
00:17:51It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:17:56Don't worry about it.
00:17:56Look, I will handle it, okay?
00:18:00You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:18:02Good.
00:18:03But before the night ends, both of you will be finished.
00:18:08So you think this is pretend?
00:18:11Still 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?
00:18:26Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you 10 times the amount if you strip for the room.
00:18:35Oh god, no, no.
00:18:37They're dead.
00:18:38They are also dead.
00:18:40Say that again.
00:18:42You heard him.
00:18:4310 times your rate.
00:18:46Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.
00:18:48I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:18:50Oh, I, no, no, no, no.
00:18:52I want no part of this.
00:18:54Oh, come on.
00:18:55Don't be shy.
00:18:56Just enjoy The Bachelor show.
00:18:58You're gonna give us a twirl, gritty boy?
00:19:04Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just crossed.
00:19:09Then stop faking.
00:19:11If you're gonna play pretend, you can't get mad when people call you out for what you are.
00:19:15All right, cowboy.
00:19:19Final offer.
00:19:22Ten times.
00:19:24Name your price.
00:19:26You watch your mouth.
00:19:34How dare you hit my son?
00:19:39Baby, are you okay?
00:19:41Are you okay?
00:19:42I'm gonna kill that bastard.
00:19:44Are you insane?
00:19:45Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:19:48I don't care who you are.
00:19:49You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:19:53You two are dead.
00:19:54You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate, and one will save you now.
00:20:00You just brought war on yourself.
00:20:02You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:05Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:10Let her talk.
00:20:12I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:20:14My father is vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:20Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:23And you two?
00:20:24You just rushed your future down to toilet.
00:20:41Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:20:43That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.
00:20:45Who do you think you are?
00:20:47No one else dares sit here.
00:20:49I think it kind of suits me.
00:20:52Thomas, you recognize the seat.
00:20:57Would you say I belong here?
00:21:02Yes, sir.
00:21:03Of course you do.
00:21:06Are you out of your mind?
00:21:08That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:10No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:14And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?
00:21:18Funny.
00:21:19I'm sitting, and I'm not moving.
00:21:21Got a problem?
00:21:24You want to play big shot?
00:21:27Fine.
00:21:28I'll give you one more chance.
00:21:30You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog in bed with Eleanor.
00:21:35Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:40Egg you?
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:43Get 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.
00:21:57How romantic.
00:21:58You're playing with fire.
00:22:00No, sweetheart.
00:22:01I am the fire.
00:22:04Now, I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:07Now.
00:22:09One.
00:22:15You-
00:22:16Ah! Margaret, please!
00:22:17Please, Margaret, don't!
00:22:18Get off of me!
00:22:20She hit me!
00:22:22You think I'm gonna let that slide?
00:22:23I understand.
00:22:24I do not care if she is the Queen of England.
00:22:27I'm hitting that bitch.
00:22:29Margaret, you should apologize.
00:22:34What?
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.
00:22:41Has everyone lost their minds?
00:22:48You want me to apologize to these two?
00:22:50Yes, you are good.
00:22:53The only reason I call you uncle is because of my father.
00:22:56Now I get humiliated, and you want me to apologize?
00:23:00Yes, I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:02You don't know what you've got to step into.
00:23:04I'm calling my father, and we will see who crawls away when that happens.
00:23:12No, don't call him!
00:23:14Letter, I'd love to see what James West is gonna do to me.
00:23:20Dad, I'm down on the meeting floor, and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:25Can you get down here now, please?
00:23:30He's on his way.
00:23:31And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:37Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:39Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian in this company.
00:23:45He's coming now.
00:23:46This time, you're finished.
00:23:49Not even I can help you.
00:23:51Help them?
00:23:52Please.
00:23:52They did this to themselves.
00:23:54She and her boy toy need to be crushed.
00:23:57Best.
00:23:58Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:24:00In my world, you're nothing.
00:24:02Still bluffing?
00:24:04I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in the room.
00:24:13Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:16Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:30This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:33What the hell's going on?
00:24:34It's not my fault.
00:24:36This woman is causing a scene.
00:24:39Look, she even slapped me.
00:24:41That's insane.
00:24:42Who here had the nerve to lay a hand on my daughter?
00:24:46You 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 seat.
00:24:55It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:24:57That woman and her man, completely out of line.
00:25:00Okay, Mr. West, actually, there's something you should know.
00:25:04Shut up, you fool!
00:25:06You allowed someone to lay their hands on my daughter here in my building?
00:25:10Mr. West, you understand?
00:25:11That man is Mr. Whitmore!
00:25:15You dare bring up Mr. Whitmore?
00:25:17Dr. Prescott was hired by him.
00:25:19And this, this is what you allow to happen when Mr. Whitmore is to return?
00:25:24No!
00:25:25I...
00:25:27You.
00:25:29You two.
00:25:32You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:35That's right, him!
00:25:39He is Eleanor's fake husband!
00:25:42And she is the one that's been causing all of the problems!
00:25:47Mr. West, my son Daniel, he used to date Eleanor.
00:25:52But that's been done for a long time now.
00:25:54He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.
00:25:57Relax.
00:25:58Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore.
00:26:01He won't be held responsible.
00:26:03Oh, thank you, Mr. West!
00:26:07Hear that?
00:26:08My dad is here.
00:26:10He runs this place right under Sebastian.
00:26:13You are so done.
00:26:15And what happened to all that attitude?
00:26:18Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:20You really have no idea what's coming.
00:26:25Have 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.
00:26:35Hey, you!
00:26:40Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:26:46All right, that's enough.
00:26:47Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this clown'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.
00:27:05Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:06No, it's just a fact.
00:27:09He's not someone you want to trust.
00:27:11My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:15No one outranks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:18And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:22You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:26Please.
00:27:28These two are running this like some sort of drama box show.
00:27:31But everybody knows trash is trash.
00:27:36Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:27:40You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:27:45Really? And why is that?
00:27:47Because you're a nobody.
00:27:49Mr. 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, you'll realize it's all you who are done for.
00:28:01You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:28:04You 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.
00:28:13You got guts. I'll give you that.
00:28:16My guts aren't going to help you if you piss me off.
00:28:18Now...
00:28:25Let me tell you what happens when your little husband tries to con his way into the Whitmore group.
00:28:31Oh, this is exciting, but do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:38Maybe we should just pop them out of the country for good.
00:28:40Yes, that's what I plan to do.
00:28:44You.
00:28:47Turn that damn chair around right now, or I'm gonna do it myself.
00:28:50No, Mr. West, please! You can't!
00:28:53Why the hell not? They deserve it. The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared!
00:29:02You know, they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:04Apologize? To them?
00:29:08Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them...
00:29:15Sebastian? Mind saying hello?
00:29:18I suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:21That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:24No, it can't be!
00:29:25Stop pretending! Turn that chair around!
00:29:46Is that supposed to scare me?
00:29:47I turned the chair, so now what?
00:29:51No. No way.
00:29:55You wanted to see me, James West?
00:29:59Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:01Deb, no need to call Mr. Whitmore. He'll be here any minute.
00:30:06And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:09This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:12Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:15You might just walk out of here.
00:30:17I won't beg anyone.
00:30:18But you?
00:30:20You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:25Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:27If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:30You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:31The fantasy is dead.
00:30:34Now that my dad's here, he'll-
00:30:35He'll kill you both.
00:30:37So get out of that chair, call boy, before 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. You're gonna kick them out before Sebastian gets here.
00:30:56Perfect.
00:30:57Do it.
00:31:00You two are dead.
00:31:02You 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.
00:31:11Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:15Please.
00:31:16My father fears no one.
00:31:20And if they're trembling, it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:31:25You still don't see where it sits, do you?
00:31:31Pathetic.
00:31:32You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?
00:31:35Keep talking, Eleanor.
00:31:36You're digging your own grave.
00:31:38Dad, are you done digging yet?
00:31:41Can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:46Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:31:48I'm dealing with you!
00:32:04Dad!
00:32:06You fool!
00:32:07Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:10Me?
00:32:11They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:15Shut it!
00:32:16And apologize to them right now!
00:32:20Apologize to them?
00:32:21Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter.
00:32:23Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:31You brainless idiot!
00:32:34Do you not know who that is?
00:32:36You can't do this!
00:32:38I just...
00:32:39I'm a PhD!
00:32:40I just made partner at Whitmore!
00:32:42Oh, a PhD!
00:32:45Who made partner?
00:32:46I had no idea!
00:32:48That changes zero!
00:32:55PhD!
00:32:56What are you doing?!
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!
00:33:12Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:16What?
00:33:17What?!
00:33:17Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:21I apologize for my idiot kid!
00:33:26Please sir, forgive us!
00:33:27Mr. Whitmore, please forgive us!
00:33:31Mr. Whitmore, is my family Sebastian Whitmore?
00:33:42I don't know!
00:33:44Eleanor said she was married to that guy, that man, Sebastian!
00:33:48How?!
00:33:49No!
00:33:50No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:52No!
00:33:52He's...
00:33:53He's not Sebastian!
00:33:54That is just some gigolo that she hired!
00:33:57Dad!
00:33:58Dad, this is a trick, right?
00:33:59This is just some joke!
00:34:01You idiot!
00:34:03You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:07Now get on roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:11So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:13Mr. Whitmore, I am so sorry!
00:34:21Please forgive me!
00:34:22I didn't know who you were!
00:34:23Please don't ruin us!
00:34:26You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman.
00:34:29But this isn't over.
00:34:31James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:34:34Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.
00:34:38No, sir!
00:34:40I am sorry!
00:34:41My daughter is young.
00:34:43She's stupid and she does not represent me.
00:34:47You're right.
00:34:47She doesn't.
00:34:49But you do.
00:34:50And that's the problem.
00:34:52You're fired.
00:34:54No, please, sir!
00:34:55Don't!
00:34:55So now I get it, Eleanor.
00:34:58That's why you had no fear.
00:35:00Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time.
00:35:04You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:10No, you've got it wrong.
00:35:13I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian.
00:35:16I'm untouchable because I always was.
00:35:20Seven 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.
00:35:29I, 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.
00:35:52And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.
00:35:55I...
00:35:56I...
00:35:57I...
00:35:58Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:06You have gone too far.
00:36:08I...
00:36:11Madam 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?
00:36:35And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:38About the engagement.
00:36:40I'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.
00:36:55Did 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.
00:37:06Where it 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.
00:37:22Sebastian, James has given decades to this company.
00:37:25And his termination is not happening.
00:37:29Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:37:31I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:37:35And as for him, he stays.
00:37:38You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:37:44But Grandma, he...
00:37:44Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:37:49And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:37:53We must garner her favor.
00:37:58And Dr. Prescott?
00:37:59He is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:05So, he stays for Whitmore.
00:38:09You got that?
00:38:15Yes.
00:38:15Now, 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!
00:38:37No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:38:41He helped me once.
00:38:42I 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.
00:38:54Whitmore, we are first official U.S. partners.
00:38:57Perfect.
00:38:59Make sure it's loud.
00:39:04I'm gonna 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.
00:39:20That is the future.
00:39:22Would you 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 and lane breaks?
00:39:42Then I disagree, madam.
00:39:45That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:39:47You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:39:49What 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, this is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:06She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian, pretending 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?
00:40:22Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:25That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:40:30That's just part of their scheme.
00:40:32Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Sebastian and I started out as pretend, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:43And what are you playing at?
00:40:47Sebastian Whitmore.
00:40:57For real?
00:41:00Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
00:41:04Are 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.
00:41:15So 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.
00:41:28Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:29Of course.
00:41:31You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:33What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:41:35Are you scared?
00:41:36Eleanor, 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?
00:41:43Exactly.
00:41:45I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.
00:41:47I'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.
00:42:06There.
00:42:08Where'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.
00:42:46Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:42:51I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:42:53I-
00:42:53Stop calling me that.
00:42:56The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the thing.
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,
00:43:40you 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 the signed contract yet.
00:44:01See?
00:44:03How I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.
00:44:06And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiance?
00:44:13You have no idea the hell you've raised.
00:44:15And Dr. Prescott, you'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.
00:44:23Did you hear that, Daniel? You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:44:29That's right. Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:33What? Comes from where?
00:44:37Is that true? The 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, she might take a liking to you.
00:44:52Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:44:55I will go.
00:44:56Good. Then it's settled.
00:45:01The Thunder Circle gave their word. They wouldn't back out.
00:45:06Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:07Yes, sir.
00:45:08Hey. Relax. I said they'd invest in you in Slowbo.
00:45:16Really? A backroom's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:26We'll see who's laughing tomorrow. And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:45:32You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle? You are not invited, but we are.
00:45:41You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:45:43Tomorrow. You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband. Be 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.
00:45:54Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:46:00So I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:02Of course. You're cleaning Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:06But not even he can support you now.
00:46:08Forget it, Mom. Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:12If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow, maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:18Keep you alive. Let's go.
00:46:21I 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. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:46:44Relax, Mr. Whitmore. I got this. Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:46:50Yes, ma'am. I get it. You're the dangerous one.
00:46:56But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family, they're a lot to handle.
00:47:00So what?
00:47:02So tomorrow, I'll sign the deal. I'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
00:47:12cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:16Oh, come on. That was so embarrassing.
00:47:18That guy on the plane, he's dead now. He no longer exists, all right?
00:47:23So, my wife, shall we move to the next step?
00:47:27Let's get married.
00:47:44Hey, we found her.
00:47:48How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:53Everything is ready. The media is locked, and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been firewashed.
00:48:00Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family. This 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 meeting.
00:48:13One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Verrelli.
00:48:17They're outside. Should I let them in?
00:48:19Turn them in.
00:48:25Lady Thunder.
00:48:27Lady Thunder.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:29So, how have you been? Your business is good?
00:48:36Yes, Lady Thunder. And thank you. Your support doing my toughest year meant everything.
00:48:44My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:48:47Impressive. And you, Amir?
00:48:52As usual, I'm doing well. Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am, leaving my country with stability.
00:48:58It's good to hear. So, can I expect both of you at the gala tomorrow?
00:49:02Of course. Whatever you want, Lady Thunder. Just say the word. I will back you, no matter what.
00:49:13I'm afraid I can't attend. Things have grown tense between the Cold West and me.
00:49:18What happened?
00:49:22Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.
00:49:27Crushing competitors left and right.
00:49:29I thought they were acting with your approval, so I didn't intervene.
00:49:34No, I never authorized any of that.
00:49:41Seems I underestimated how far they'd go.
00:49:44This ends now. They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:49:52Well, then tomorrow should be...
00:49:55entertaining.
00:49:58I can't.
00:50:01Let's shake the world together.
00:50:03Cheers.
00:50:16Sebastian?
00:50:21Sebastian?
00:50:23Hey, just checked me in. I 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?
00:50:46Who says I can't do both?
00:50:50I gotta go. Talk tomorrow.
00:50:55Mr. Whitmore.
00:50:57Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting.
00:50:59She won't be seeing anyone today.
00:51:01Uh, Mr. Lee, I just need to confirm about the investment.
00:51:04Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:06Lady Thunder has a high level of belief in you.
00:51:08You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:51:11Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:51:18Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:34We'll see you next time.
00:51:37And in the next time
00:51:40you
00:51:42Tonight is the gala. Luckily, Sylvia introduced us to her brother, Ravine. He owns the most
00:52:08exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave
00:52:13empty-handed. Unbelievable. Mr. Cogwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here
00:52:21costs at least six figures. Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady
00:52:28Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store. Thank you. And your
00:52:35sister, too. Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and
00:52:40Caldwell families at the gala. Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely.
00:52:46That's my boy. PhD perfect. And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner? My boy,
00:52:57let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder, that girl Eleanor, even Margaret, they're nothing.
00:53:06If she notices you and you end up marrying her, you'd rule.
00:53:11You have got to be kidding me.
00:53:17Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerve showing your face around here.
00:53:31Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.
00:53:35Sebastian brought you to play dress-up. Adorable.
00:53:40Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear. Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister.
00:53:51And you are? You seriously don't know? This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother? How shameless! First, you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiance, and now you're shopping like you belong here?! Wait, 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!
00:54:39Oh yeah? Let me make it easy for ya. We'll take everything. Every dress, every necklace, every damn shoe in this place. By the end of this day, the store will be mine.
00:54:48Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him?
00:54:56Seriously, Sebastian, you're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:05Maybe, it's a little bit better in bed now.
00:55:11Oh, Whitmore. You don't get to speak about my wife, ever!
00:55:16Mr. Whitmore! You're not even CEO anymore!
00:55:19Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:55:22Please! My son has a PhD! One day, he's going to surpass you!
00:55:30Surpass me?
00:55:31Yes! 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.
00:56:09Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle. And you? I mean, you've lost the right to even dream of standing by my side.
00:56:20You? Lady Thunder.
00:56:25Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:56:28Everyone hear this? This lunatic thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future!
00:56:35I don't know, Lady Thunder's no thing we can throw around like that. We can't.
00:56:39You bitch! You break into my store, spouting delusions!
00:56:55Adam, 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?
00:57:06Eleanor, I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder?
00:57:14You're gonna get poor Sebastian killed.
00:57:16So, Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:57:21Even if you clod your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:57:27Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:57:31Enough of the circus.
00:57:34Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:57:42If anyone touches her, I'll ruin you.
00:57:44Do you realize what you're doing? You are crossing a line.
00:57:49Seriously, Sebastian. You side with her, you're both done.
00:57:53The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:57:57Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
00:58:01Oh.
00:58:03Sylvia?
00:58:04Yes, I'm handling it.
00:58:07What?
00:58:09They bought it.
00:58:11The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell Boutiques.
00:58:16What? That's impossible!
00:58:17And...
00:58:19Eleanor is...
00:58:20the new owner?
00:58:22No, no! This is some mistake!
00:58:29There is no way that street rat owns this place!
00:58:32It's a scam! A trick!
00:58:34Well, Ravine, looks like I own the shop now.
00:58:38You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:58:43What?
00:58:44You bitch!
00:58:45You can't do this!
00:58:47You 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 try me?
00:58:57No.
00:58:58Guards.
00:58:59Remove them.
00:59:01No!
00:59:10Daniel!
00:59:11Could she really be leading Thunder?
00:59:13Absolutely not.
00:59:14I've known her for years.
00:59:16There's...
00:59:17There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle.
00:59:19Then how the fuck did she buy my store?
00:59:22You still don't get it?
00:59:24That nanny work she did in Africa?
00:59:27That'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?
00:59:37Exactly.
00:59:38She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.
00:59:42But tonight, I'll expose her.
00:59:46Tonight, her little luck ends.
00:59:50Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me you're the real Lady Thunder.
00:59:56I can't tell Sebastian everything.
01:00:01Not yet.
01:00:02Not until the gala.
01:00:04Back when I was working in Africa, I met...
01:00:07You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:09Yes.
01:00:10She visited one of the shelters we spoke, so...
01:00:16I reached out to her just now and asked for help.
01:00:19Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:00:22Look, I'm...
01:00:23I'm sorry.
01:00:24This is great.
01:00:25I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side, there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:00:30Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:00:34Of course not.
01:00:36You're my wife.
01:00:38You 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.
01:01:01But tonight, after the gala, it's official.
01:01:05Public.
01:01:07That doesn't scare you?
01:01:10I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:26Winston, congratulations.
01:01:28Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position.
01:01:32And that makes you next in line for CEO.
01:01:35Well, let's be honest.
01:01:37Sebastian has never been CEO material.
01:01:40My grandmother saw that.
01:01:42And so did the board.
01:01:44You've got the support of the Caldwell family.
01:01:46And their ties to the circle aren't small.
01:01:48And 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.
01:01:58You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:16You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:20This is the Thunder Circle Return Galley.
01:02:22As 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.
01:02:37You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:02:39Your wife?
01:02:40Did you just sing that out loud?
01:02:42Everyone, gather round.
01:02:45I have a little joke to tell you.
01:02:47Now this man, my brother, used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
01:02:54Well, he could have married Sylvia and joined the powerful Caldwell family.
01:03:00But instead, he married her.
01:03:03A gold digger.
01:03:05Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:08It's true.
01:03:10Sebastian used to be a force.
01:03:12And now, he's just another doughy boy who got tricked by the wiles of a cheap hole.
01:03:17He offended the Caldwell family.
01:03:19He's dead now.
01:03:21You hear that, Sebastian?
01:03:22Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:03:25You shut your mouth or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
01:03:31But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.
01:03:36And you, this poor excuse for a life.
01:03:42I'll deal with you first.
01:03:44I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.
01:03:48Don't you run your mouth!
01:03:50You bitch!
01:04:00You come to me, Winston.
01:04:03You bastard.
01:04:04I'm your brother!
01:04:06You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone?
01:04:09Huh?
01:04:10Sebastian, let him go.
01:04:13I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:04:17Isn't she just a nobody?
01:04:19Where did she get the guts?
01:04:20Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails.
01:04:23Once he's gone, she's out.
01:04:25You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:04:29You chose a bitch over blood.
01:04:32That's fine.
01:04:34As 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.
01:04:41He does not, but I do!
01:04:54Grandma.
01:04:56Sebastian.
01:04:59I'm going to ask you this for the last time.
01:05:02Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:05No, Grandmother.
01:05:07I never loved her.
01:05:09I didn't ask you if you loved her.
01:05:11I asked, will you marry her?
01:05:14No.
01:05:15I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:05:17You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:05:23You might be my grandmother, but you don't get to insult my wife.
01:05:27You really think marrying into the Caldwell family is going to elevate us?
01:05:30Of course I do.
01:05:33And what are you trying to say?
01:05:35The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.
01:05:39They want our assets, our name.
01:05:41And when they're done sucking us dry,
01:05:43Wilma will be nothing.
01:05:45We can't trust them.
01:05:47And we can't trust Sylvia.
01:05:49No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.
01:05:53Sharp instincts.
01:05:54Looks like I picked the right man.
01:05:56Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:05:58Sylvia promised.
01:05:59And if Sebastian agrees,
01:06:01the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:05You're sure?
01:06:06Absolutely, that's what this whole night is for.
01:06:09And Sylvia's 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.
01:06:19You're right.
01:06:21We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:06:25You hear that?
01:06:27Do you see what we have at stake?
01:06:29What are you laughing at?
01:06:31All of this.
01:06:35You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.
01:06:40And you call that a strategy?
01:06:43Sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:06:45What do you mean?
01:06:46What I mean is if you're looking for investment from Thunder Circle,
01:06:51you don't need the Caldwells.
01:06:53You need me.
01:06:57What are you saying?
01:06:58Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:00Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.
01:07:03She's out of her mind.
01:07:04The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:07:07How 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.
01:07:13But when you find out,
01:07:15you'll all be kneeling.
01:07:16Prove it!
01:07:18But if you're lying,
01:07:19you know there's a price.
01:07:21I am-
01:07:22This isn't about her lies.
01:07:24She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.
01:07:30Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this, but yesterday, Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Ravine Caldwell boutique.
01:07:41Sebastian, is this true?
01:07:45The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder.
01:07:47Eleanor just asked for help.
01:07:49How did she know?
01:07:51Because they played the charity card.
01:07:53Years in Africa, nannying kids, all of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:08:00Exactly.
01:08:01No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family.
01:08:05She has made a career out of culling into powerful people.
01:08:09She's dangerous.
01:08:11A conniving parasite.
01:08:14You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family.
01:08:19And now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:08:22You ruined the Alliance.
01:08:24And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:08:28We should make her crawl and beg for forgiveness.
01:08:32The ones who've been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.
01:08:35They should beg for forgiveness.
01:08:37You arrogant lunatic!
01:08:40Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:08:42I'm just stating the facts.
01:08:44She knows her.
01:08:46Facts, huh?
01:08:49That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:08:56Things are about to get ugly.
01:08:58Eleanor's finished.
01:08:59Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:02Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:06My son, you could do worse than marrying her.
01:09:09Mother!
01:09:10Alright, alright!
01:09:11You were made for Lady Thunder.
01:09:14That's the one you deserve.
01:09:16Sylvia!
01:09:17Thank God you're here.
01:09:19Seriously, Winston?
01:09:21One girl when you crumble?
01:09:23That'd come.
01:09:24Move!
01:09:29So, Eleanor.
01:09:31First 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?
01:09:41Why do I have to choose either?
01:09:43Are you that rattled?
01:09:45Good.
01:09:47Let's see how brave you are.
01:09:49Sylvia, don't!
01:09:51Sebastian, you're my fiancƩ and you're defending her?
01:09:56I never would be married.
01:09:57I came here tonight to talk.
01:09:59To 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.
01:10:23Enough!
01:10:24I've only gotten started.
01:10:26By the time tonight's gala ends,
01:10:28Whitmore 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 me.
01:10:38Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:40Do you hear that?
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.
01:11:00Oh my god!
01:11:10She's insane!
01:11:11She's totally insane!
01:11:12Oh my god.
01:11:13Sylvia?
01:11:14Are you hurt?
01:11:16Are you hurt?
01:11:18Do I look fine to you, idiot?
01:11:22You bitch!
01:11:24No one humiliates me like this!
01:11:26Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.
01:11:28I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:11:30Kill her!
01:11:32This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:11:36It's not only an insult to me, it's treason against Lady Thunder herself.
01:11:48She will be eliminated, and 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!
01:12:25No, you got it all wrong!
01:12:26Everyone saw what she did.
01:12:28You're really gonna defend her?
01:12:30Did you hear that, Eleanor?
01:12:31Game over.
01:12:33You breathe, because I allow it.
01:12:36And when I say you're finished-
01:12:37Don't you dare.
01:12:38If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:12:40Shut up, Sebastian!
01:12:42Everyone here wants her gone!
01:12:44You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her.
01:12:47You want to ruin yourself?
01:12:49Fine.
01:12:50But don't drag the Whitmores down with you.
01:12:52This is what happens when you defy the Caldwells.
01:12:55So, Eleanor, how do you want to die?
01:12:58Impressive, Sylvia.
01:13:00You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:02But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:13:04All 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.
01:13:16And who it's after you're planning on sending to hell?
01:13:19General Varelli and Prince Amir?
01:13:26What are they doing here?
01:13:27This is the Thunder Circle's return gala.
01:13:29Big names were expected.
01:13:31Too bad for her.
01:13:33She's even more screwed now.
01:13:35What are you doing here, Varelli?
01:13:37We were just about to take out the trash.
01:13:40So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle justice,
01:13:44I suggest you let us finish.
01:13:47Sylvia Caldwell.
01:13:48Who accidentally were you planning to kill?
01:13:51Her.
01:13:53She attacked me in public.
01:13:55She disrupted the gala.
01:13:58Look, I know we've had our differences,
01:14:01but don't tell me you're here to steal my credit
01:14:04to impress Lady Thunder.
01:14:06Steal credit?
01:14:07You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:14:11One more word out of you,
01:14:13and the Caldwell name is history.
01:14:15You're serious?
01:14:16Deadly.
01:14:17You touch it again,
01:14:19and your entire empire burns to the ground.
01:14:21Because the woman you just threatened
01:14:24is Lady Thunder herself.
01:14:28Lady Thunder!
01:14:35What?
01:14:36Lady Thunder, don't be ridiculous.
01:14:38She's just a gold digger, for God's sake.
01:14:42Exactly.
01:14:43She's a broke hooker.
01:14:45This is just another bluff.
01:14:47She's pulling the same stunts.
01:14:49Okay?
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 want to 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.
01:15:23Weapons up.
01:15:32Lay a finger on her and I promise you,
01:15:34none of you will be alive to regret this.
01:15:37You won't want to defend a liar!
01:15:41Stand down!
01:15:45Stand down!
01:15:48That's Adam Lee.
01:15:49Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:15:50He only arrives when she commands it.
01:15:52What is happening?
01:15:56Mr. Lee, finally,
01:15:58your Lady Thunder's assistant,
01:16:00tell them this woman is lying.
01:16:02Tell them she's not Lady Thunder.
01:16:04Right.
01:16:05She's just my ex.
01:16:07How could she be anything?
01:16:08Lady Thunder manages portfolios worth billions.
01:16:11She babysits Orphan.
01:16:13Shut up!
01:16:16For years, Lady Thunder's been running
01:16:18the largest charity in Africa.
01:16:20While you were polishing your shoes,
01:16:23she was saving children.
01:16:27That can't be.
01:16:29No, no, no.
01:16:31If that's true, then let her prove it.
01:16:36Lady 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.
01:16:46If she is who she says she is,
01:16:48we'll unlock it.
01:16:49Yeah.
01:16:50Let 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.
01:16:58Unlock the funds.
01:16:59Unlock the funds.
01:17:00Right here.
01:17:01Right now!
01:17:04Eleanor.
01:17:05Are you sure you can confirm?
01:17:07Yes.
01:17:08Sebastian.
01:17:09It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:12Highest level authorization.
01:17:14Verified Eleanor Thunder.
01:17:16Type CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:17:18100 billion funds activated.
01:17:42My god!
01:17:43My God!
01:17:48My God!
01:17:49She is Lady Thunder!
01:17:51The 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!
01:18:04Eleanor is Lady Thunder!
01:18:07Lady Thunder!
01:18:10Lady Thunder!
01:18:12What now, Sylvia?
01:18:14What else do you have to say?
01:18:24Sylvia!
01:18:30Sylvia!
01:18:32This is her!
01:18:34Your God won't be even starved!
01:18:37My Father will kill me!
01:18:39Take them out!
01:18:41We'll deal with them later!
01:18:55So Eleanor...
01:18:57It's true!
01:18:59You're the Lady Thunder!
01:19:03The CEO of the Thunder Group!
01:19:05And the most powerful woman in the world!
01:19:09Does this even matter anymore?
01:19:11Of course it matters!
01:19:15I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different!
01:19:21Could they have been?
01:19:23Daniel?
01:19:25If 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!
01:19:37And you never believed in me!
01:19:41No, that's not true!
01:19:43It...
01:19:44All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top!
01:19:49I didn't mean anything to you!
01:19:53I...
01:19:54This...
01:19:55This...
01:19:56I...
01:19:57I don't...
01:19:58You made your choice, Daniel.
01:19:59So every benefit that I gave you, every contact, every dollar...
01:20:02I'm taking it all back.
01:20:04Eleanor, please!
01:20:05We've known each other for years!
01:20:06You've always been like a daughter to me!
01:20:07Whatever misunderstandings are between us, I guess...
01:20:08A daughter?
01:20:09Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:20:11Not good enough for your son?
01:20:12It was before!
01:20:13I didn't know!
01:20:14I was stupid!
01:20:15And blind!
01:20:16You...
01:20:17I was stupid!
01:20:18And blind!
01:20:19You...
01:20:20I was stupid!
01:20:21I was stupid!
01:20:22I was stupid!
01:20:23You...
01:20:24I was stupid!
01:20:25I was stupid!
01:20:26I was stupid!
01:20:27I was stupid!
01:20:28I was stupid!
01:20:29I was stupid!
01:20:30I was stupid!
01:20:31I was stupid!
01:20:32I was stupid!
01:20:33I'm blind!
01:20:34You...
01:20:35You're perfect, Eleanor!
01:20:37So now that I'm Lady Thunder, I'm good enough for your son.
01:20:42You know, ever since I got back from Africa, this has been done.
01:20:47You and Daniel...
01:20:50You're not part of my life anymore.
01:20:52No!
01:20:53Please!
01:20:54No!
01:20:55We were together for so long, Eleanor.
01:20:57Please!
01:20:58Please forgive me.
01:21:00I wanted a fast track to power.
01:21:03Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:21:17Eleanor!
01:21:19Lady Thunder!
01:21:21You and my grandson make a perfect pair.
01:21:25It's okay.
01:21:26Congratulations.
01:21:27Yes.
01:21:28Congratulations to you both.
01:21:31Where is Sebastian?
01:21:34That's interesting.
01:21:35Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:21:38Well, no!
01:21:42That was a mistake!
01:21:44Uh...
01:21:45He's always part of my family.
01:21:47He will always be my grandson.
01:21:49I did warn you all.
01:21:50I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:21:57Grandma...
01:21:59I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.
01:22:03It's time I've made something that's truly mine.
01:22:06And not in the family's shadow.
01:22:08But Sebastian, you...
01:22:09I 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.
01:22:25I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:22:27And respect him.
01:22:28I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:22:30And respect him.
01:22:42Eleanor.
01:22:43As you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore.
01:22:48A man starting over.
01:22:54But if you'll have me...
01:22:56I'd like to start it with you.
01:23:01Will you stay by my side?
01:23:03And marry me?
01:23:04Of course I will.
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.
01:23:28I'm sorry.
01:23:30I've had to land on your shoulder.
01:23:31I'll see you tomorrow.
01:23:34From my perspective to my generation.
01:23:36I'm sorry because I were in the hospital.
01:23:37I've had a desk.
01:23:38It's okay.
01:23:39But rest?
01:23:40It's every lady in the hospital.
01:23:45Then, get Š¼ŃŠ¶aism's house.
01:23:47I find yourself anxiety for her.
01:23:48So, do you because your son can't be lost,
01:23:49but I'm not taken care of.
01:23:50Would youify this?
01:23:51Come from between me.
01:23:52You might be awake mit.
01:23:54I'll beå°äøčµ· that you will!
