00:00:00I'm sorry.
00:00:01What?
00:00:02Are you sure?
00:00:05Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe me.
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 chair woman 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.
00:00:41Find her.
00:00:42Find who?
00:00:43The girl from the Nairobi flight.
00:00:45Eleanor.
00:00:46I don't care what it takes.
00:00:47You find her.
00:00:49Understood.
00:00:49But what do you want with it?
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.
00:01:09You self-important bitch.
00:01:11Who the hell do you think you are?
00:01:13I 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.
00:01:21Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off, and then we're done.
00:01:24Is that what you think?
00:01:27That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:31How about a hundred grand?
00:01:36Two 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.
00:01:56And 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
00:02:05Daniel's education?
00:02:06Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?
00:02:11What?
00:02:12How dare you?
00:02:13Eleanor.
00:02:14For the sake of our seven years together, just take the money and leave.
00:02:21Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:25He's done with you.
00:02:28Get 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.
00:02:37Said she had to handle something first, but she'll be here soon.
00:02:40Margaret?
00:02:42Margaret.
00:02:44Daughter 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.
00:02:57Properly pedigree.
00:02:59And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.
00:03:03Eleanor, 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.
00:03:12Because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.
00:03:18So 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.
00:03:27Really?
00:03:28Do 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.
00:03:42You actually think you're better than me.
00:03:54Margaret, my dear.
00:03:55You're here.
00:03:56So.
00:03:57You must be Eleanor.
00:03:58Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:03:59I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:04:03Bargain bin dress.
00:04:04Basic face.
00:04:05Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:04:09But don't mind her.
00:04:10She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:04:11She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:12So you actually think you can compete with me?
00:04:13I'm Margaret West.
00:04:14Daughter of James West.
00:04:15Vice Chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:16And you!
00:04:17You're not worth the dirt under my heel.
00:04:18You're right.
00:04:19Unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:04:20Excuse me?
00:04:21You really think that you can talk back to me?
00:04:22Get out of here before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:04:23Exactly.
00:04:24This is a ceremony for me.
00:04:25I'm Margaret West.
00:04:26I'm Margaret West.
00:04:27Daughter of James West.
00:04:28Vice Chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:30And you!
00:04:31You'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.
00:04:51Exactly.
00:04:52This is a ceremony for elites, not fed group.
00:04:55What the hell is going on?
00:05:01Oh, Margaret.
00:05:03Is everything alright?
00:05:04Why don't you ask her?
00:05:06Daniel dumped her.
00:05:08And now she's crashing his party.
00:05:11Well, Dr. Prescott was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore himself.
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.
00:05:40I was running a charity.
00:05:42Oh!
00:05:43Charity!
00:05:44Is that what we're calling unemployment now?
00:05:47Honey, just admit that you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:05:51Everyone, we all know why she's here.
00:05:55To chase my son hoping he drags her out of the gutter.
00:05:59So she's a gold digger.
00:06:01How pathetic.
00:06:02Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:06:06Hear that?
00:06:07This is reality.
00:06:08My son, a PhD.
00:06:09Future partner.
00:06:10And you are just the mud on his shoes.
00:06:13Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.
00:06:28Your fairy tale is over.
00:06:41Eleanor, a woman can be broke.
00:06:46Or uneducated, but delusional.
00:06:50Now 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!
00:07:42That's enough.
00:07:43I'm done with your tantrums.
00:07:45Get the fuck out of my life.
00:07:46Oh God.
00:07:47Look at her.
00:07:48So pathetic.
00:07:49Somebody give me a towel?
00:07:50Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:07:51Lady, that's enough.
00:07:52Lady, that's enough.
00:07:53Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:07:54You?
00:07:55You're humiliated.
00:07:56You're humiliated yourself.
00:07:57Get out.
00:07:58I'm done with your tantrums.
00:07:59I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:01Get the fuck out of my life.
00:08:03Oh God.
00:08:04Look at her.
00:08:05So pathetic.
00:08:06Somebody give me a towel?
00:08:07Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:08:09Lady, that's enough.
00:08:10Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:08:11You?
00:08:12You're humiliating yourself.
00:08:13Get out.
00:08:14We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:15Where?
00:08:16She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:19But things are getting ugly.
00:08:20Dr. Prescott.
00:08:21Quick.
00:08:22Get to HQ now.
00:08:44You see that?
00:08:45Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:49Just leave, Eleanor.
00:08:51Before this gets worse for you.
00:08:53Worse?
00:08:54What?
00:08:55Because 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.
00:09:13Walk out on your own.
00:09:15Or I'll security drag you out.
00:09:18Go ahead.
00:09:19Call 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.
00:09:26Not even Sebastian.
00:09:30Baster, I don't care what it takes.
00:09:31Get me to her now.
00:09:32Yes, sir.
00:09:37Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:42Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:45You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:48Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him.
00:09:51But you?
00:09:52You are so dead.
00:09:55In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.
00:09:59If 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.
00:10:10Eleanor, I get it.
00:10:12You're upset about the breakup, but 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 and you never finished yours.
00:10:43So that's what you think of me?
00:10:45That's reality.
00:10:47And after everything, trust me, Eleanor.
00:10:51Whitmore 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,
00:11:00why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:10Where 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 saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancée.
00:11:29What'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.
00:11:47I've got you.
00:11:50Remember, 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.
00:12:02I 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.
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:17Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:18Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:19He's in the lobby.
00:12:20Wait, he actually came?
00:12:21Oh my God, he's here for Daniel.
00:12:22You hear that, everyone?
00:12:23Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:26This is it.
00:12:27No one can touch us now.
00:12:28I'm sorry.
00:12:29I'm sorry.
00:12:30I'm sorry.
00:12:31I'm sorry.
00:12:32I'm sorry.
00:12:33I'm sorry.
00:12:34I'm sorry.
00:12:35I'm sorry.
00:12:36I'm sorry.
00:12:37I'm sorry.
00:12:38I'm sorry.
00:12:39I'm sorry.
00:12:40I'm sorry.
00:12:41I'm sorry.
00:12:42I'm sorry.
00:12:43I'm sorry.
00:12:44No one can touch us now.
00:12:47You 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?
00:13:07For her?
00:13:08It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:11Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:14Disappear.
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.
00:13:29Vanish.
00:13:33You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:41But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:45You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:02Shit!
00:14:03What 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 kissing every single person's shoes.
00:14:23Come on.
00:14:24This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone heels anywhere.
00:14:28She's my wife.
00:14:42Is that high status enough for you?
00:14:48Mr. Rick Moore?
00:14:58I did this to you?
00:15:00It's fine.
00:15:03Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:08I 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.
00:15:24This woman here?
00:15:26She's my wife.
00:15:28Wait, what?
00:15:30Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:31But he's never.
00:15:32He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:35Oh God.
00:15:36I'm dead.
00:15:37I'm so dead.
00:15:42Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:45Elinor, you shameless bitch!
00:15:47You strung Daniel along for years.
00:15:49For what?
00:15:50To sit behind his back and marry someone else?
00:15:52So 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, Elinor?
00:15:59Playing 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.
00:16:10Elinor'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 partner deal.
00:16:23You watch your mouth.
00:16:25Please.
00:16:26Elinor just crawled back here with nothing.
00:16:28And 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?
00:16:37So were you saying she hired an actor?
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.
00:17:00She just called the CEO a gigolo.
00:17:07I'm Dr. Prescott.
00:17:09Oh, 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.
00:17:18I just need to understand.
00:17:20Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:21This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:27But since Elinor brought him, we don't have to worry about it.
00:17:31Really, Elinor?
00:17:33You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:36It just screams pathetic.
00:17:38Exactly.
00:17:40You pathetic social climber.
00:17:42Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:45Please stop, okay?
00:17:46Uncle Thomas, what?
00:17:47I've gotten into you.
00:17:49Why are you so fussy?
00:17:50It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:17:55Don't worry about it.
00:17:56Look, I will handle it, okay?
00:17:59You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:18:02Good.
00:18:03But 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.
00:18:13No 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 ten times the amount if you strip for the room.
00:18:31Oh god, no, no. They're dead. They are also dead.
00:18:39Say that again.
00:18:41You heard him.
00:18:43Ten times your rate.
00:18:45Oh, 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. Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:18:58You're gonna give us a twirl, gritty boy.
00:19:00Daniel, 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.
00:19:16Alright, cowboy. Final offer.
00:19:21Ten times.
00:19:24Name your price.
00:19:26You watch your mouth.
00:19:37How dare you kill my son!
00:19:40Jamie, are you okay?
00:19:42I'm gonna kill that bastard!
00:19:43Are you insane?
00:19:45Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:19:47I don't care who you are.
00:19:49You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:19:52You two are dead.
00:19:53You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate?
00:19:57No 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?
00:20:08Let 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.
00:20:18Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:22And you two?
00:20:24You just flushed your future back 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.
00:20:54You recognize the seat.
00:20:57Would 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.
00:21:10No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:12And you actually dare to park your jumpy ass there?
00:21:16Funny.
00:21:18I'm sitting.
00:21:19And I'm not moving.
00:21:21Got a problem?
00:21:23Hmm.
00:21:24You wanna play big shot?
00:21:26Fine.
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.
00:21:34Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:40Beg you?
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:44Get 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.
00:21:58You're playing with fire.
00:22:00No, sweetheart.
00:22:02I am the fire.
00:22:04Now, I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:07Now.
00:22:09One.
00:22:15Margaret, please!
00:22:17Please, Margaret, don't!
00:22:19Get off of me!
00:22:21She hit me!
00:22:22You think I'm gonna let that slide?
00:22:23I understand.
00:22:25I do not care if she is the queen of England. I am hitting that bitch.
00:22:29Margaret, you should apologize.
00:22:33What?
00:22:35You might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:22:37It's not too late to apologize.
00:22:40Just think about it.
00:22:45Has everyone lost their minds?
00:22:48You want me to apologize to these two?
00:22:50Yes, you are good.
00:22:52The only reason I call you uncle is because of my father.
00:22:56Now I get humiliated and you want me to apologize?
00:22:59Yes, I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:02You don't know what you're going to step into.
00:23:07I am calling my father and we will see who crawls away when that happens.
00:23:12No, don't call him!
00:23:14Letter.
00:23:15I'd love to see what James West is gonna do to me.
00:23:17Dad, 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.
00:23:31And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:35Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:38Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian in this company.
00:23:45He's coming now.
00:23:47This time, you're finished.
00:23:49Not even I can help you.
00:23:51Help them?
00:23:52Please.
00:23:53They did this to themselves.
00:23:55She 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.
00:24:13Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:16Really?
00:24:27Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:29This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:33What the hell's going on?
00:24:35It's not my fault.
00:24:37This 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?
00:24:46Did you tell them who I am?
00:24:48Of course I did. They didn't care.
00:24:50And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's feet.
00:24:56It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:24:58That woman and her man, completely out of line.
00:25:01Mr. 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?
00:25:09Mr. West, you understand? That man is Mr. Whitmore!
00:25:14You 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! I...
00:25:27You...
00:25:29You two...
00:25:32You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:34No!
00:25:37That'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, but that's been done for a long time now.
00:25:54He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.
00:25:56Relax!
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!
00:26:06Hear 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?
00:26:17Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:21You 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.
00:26:36Hey!
00:26:38You!
00:26:40Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:26:45Alright, that's enough.
00:26:47Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this clown's face!
00:26:51With pleasure.
00:26:54Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you.
00:27:00Because when you do, your little career crumbles.
00:27:03Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:06No, it's just a fact.
00:27:08He's not someone you're a boss.
00:27:10My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:14No one outranks 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?
00:27:26Please. These 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.
00:27:40You 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.
00:27:52You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:27:56But once that chair turns around,
00:27:58you'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.
00:28:06Well, this...
00:28:09I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:12You got guts.
00:28:14I'll give you that.
00:28:16My guts aren't gonna help you if you piss me off.
00:28:21Now...
00:28:22Let me tell you what happens when your little husband
00:28:28tries to con his way into the Whitmore group.
00:28:33Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:35But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:37Maybe we should just drop them out of the country for good.
00:28:40Yes. That'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.
00:28:50No, 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!
00:29:02You know, they actually told you to apologize.
00:29:04Apologize? To them?
00:29:07Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them...
00:29:14Sebastian? Mind saying hello?
00:29:17I suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:20That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:23No, it can't be!
00:29:25Stop pretending!
00:29:27Turn that chair around!
00:29:28Around!
00:29:45Was that supposed to scare me?
00:29:47I turned the chair, so now what?
00:29:50No...
00:29:52No way!
00:29:54You wanted to see me?
00:29:56James West?
00:29:58Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:00Doug, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:30:04He'll be here any minute.
00:30:06And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:09This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:10Before 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.
00:30:23No!
00:30:25Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:27If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:29You 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!
00:30:42Shut 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.
00:31:00You 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.
00:31:19And if they're trembling,
00:31:21it's because he's about to fire every last one of you!
00:31:27You still don't see where it sits.
00:31:29Do 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.
00:31:39Are 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.
00:31:52I'm dealing with you!
00:31:54Dad!
00:31:55You fool!
00:31:56Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:10Me?
00:32:11They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:14Ah!
00:32:15Shut it!
00:32:17And 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?
00:32:25You brainless idiots!
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!
00:32:43A PhD!
00:32:44Who made partner?
00:32:46I had no idea!
00:32:48That changes zero!
00:32:54PhD!
00:33:03What are you doing?
00:33:04This is my son's celebration!
00:33:07There's no celebration!
00:33:08Not 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 idiot kid.
00:33:25Please, sir, forgive us.
00:33:28Mr. Whitmore, please forgive us!
00:33:30Mr. Whitmore, please forgive us!
00:33:38Mr. Whitmore, is this man really Sebastian Whitmore?
00:33:42I don't know!
00:33:43Eleanor said she was married to that guy, that man, Sebastian!
00:33:49How?!
00:33:50No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:52No!
00:33:53No!
00:33:54He's not Sebastian!
00:33:55That 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!
00:34:02You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:06Now get on your knees and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:11So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:18Mr. Whitmore, I am so sorry.
00:34:21Please forgive me, I didn't know who you were!
00:34:23Please don't ruin us!
00:34:24You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman.
00:34:28But this isn't over.
00:34:30James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:34:33Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.
00:34:37No, no, sir!
00:34:39I am sorry.
00:34:41My daughter is young.
00:34:43She's stupid and she does not represent me.
00:34:46You're right, she doesn't.
00:34:49But you do.
00:34:50And 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.
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.
00:35:19Seven years, Daniel.
00:35:21And you never once asked who I was.
00:35:24You 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.
00:35:37And you failed that test.
00:35:38Your offer is dead.
00:35:40What?
00:35:42Wait!
00:35:43Mr. Whitmore, please!
00:35:45My son has been working his entire life for this place!
00:35:47I'll throw him out!
00:35:48My decision is final.
00:35:50No amount of begging is going to change it.
00:35:52And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.
00:35:54I...
00:35:55I...
00:35:56I...
00:35:57I...
00:35:59Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:06You have gone too far!
00:36:08Madam Whitmore!
00:36:09Grandma!
00:36:10Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:11The way you have defied this family!
00:36:24You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:29Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do?
00:36:33Huh?
00:36:34Ghost us?
00:36:35And 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.
00:36:51Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:36:53They were getting fired!
00:36:55But who is that guy?
00:36:56Why is he talking back to Sebastian Whitmore?
00:36:58That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:01Word is, through families at war, Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:06Don't overstep, Winston.
00:37:08I'm still the acting CEO. Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:12If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.
00:37:15Sebastian, 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.
00:37:34And as for him, he stays.
00:37:37You 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.
00:37:49And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:37:53We must garner her favor.
00:37:56And Dr. Prescott, he is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:04So, he stays for Whitmore.
00:38:09You got that?
00:38:14Yes.
00:38:16Now, let's focus on what matters.
00:38:19Your 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.
00:38:43I 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 US partner.
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.
00:39:17And to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:21That is the future.
00:39:23Would you rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:27I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:39:31Shortcuts?
00:39:33It's called strategy.
00:39:35If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying bricks?
00:39:42And I disagree, madam.
00:39:44That'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?
00:40:03Madam Whitmore, this is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:05She 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.
00:40:17You see that? He's panicking.
00:40:19Madam?
00:40:21Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:25That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:40:29That's just part of their scheme. Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:40:37Yes. Sebastian and I started out as pretend, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:43And what are you playing at?
00:40:46Sebastian Whitmore?
00:40:47Sebastian Whitmore?
00:40:49Are you kidding me?
00:40:57For real?
00:41:00Oh, you gotta be shitting me!
00:41:04Are you out of your mind?
00:41:07You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:09It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:13Hm.
00:41:14So you're trying to take advantage now.
00:41:16Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.
00:41:21Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything!
00:41:27Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:29Of course.
00:41:31You propose to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:33What's the matter, Sebastian? Are you scared?
00:41:36Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:41:39And 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.
00:41:49Just as you are.
00:41:55Then, Eleanor,
00:41:58I say yes to you.
00:42:01I will marry you.
00:42:05There.
00:42:06There's my wife now.
00:42:10Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:23Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:25So what? You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:42:30I see now my word needs nothing to you anymore.
00:42:35So let me make this clear.
00:42:39I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:42:48Grandma, you can't be serious. I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:42:52Stop calling me that.
00:42:55The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the family.
00:43:01And this is only the beginning.
00:43:03Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder.
00:43:06And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.
00:43:09And 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.
00:43:23And 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. Deal's done.
00:43:48Confirmation?
00:43:49Talk is cheap. Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.
00:43:56Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received the signed contract yet.
00:44:00See?
00:44:02How 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 fiancé?
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.
00:44:22Did you hear that, Daniel? You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:44:28That's right. Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:32What? 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. Tomorrow's your chance.
00:44:48You play your cards right. She might take a liking to you.
00:44:52Thank you, Mr. Whitmore. I will go.
00:44:55Good. Then it's settled.
00:45:01The Thunder Circle gave their word. They wouldn't back out.
00:45:05Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:07Yes, sir.
00:45:10Hey.
00:45:12Relax.
00:45:13I said they'd invest in you, Luis Lobo.
00:45:16Really? A backroom's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:25We'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?
00:45:36You are not invited, but we are.
00:45:40You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:45:43Tomorrow? You 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.
00:45:54Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:45:59Oh, so I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:02Of course! You're cleaning Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:04But not even he can support you now.
00:46:08Forget it, Mom. Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:11If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow,
00:46:15maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:18Keep you alive.
00:46:20Let's go.
00:46:21I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle, you still feel this high.
00:46:34Hey, 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.
00:46:54But 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.
00:47:05Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:07Wow, what a hero. Now what happened to that cocky 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, alright?
00:47:23So, my wife, shall we move to the next step?
00:47:27Let's get married.
00:47:37Let's get married.
00:47:44Let's get married.
00:47:49How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:52Everything is ready, the media is locked, and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been finalized.
00:47:58Good.
00:48:00Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family, this is for Sebastian.
00:48:03So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.
00:48:08Understood.
00:48:10Also, two of our allies are requesting the news.
00:48:13One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Heredia.
00:48:17They're outside. Should I let them in?
00:48:19Bring them in.
00:48:25Lady Panda.
00:48:27Lady Thunder.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:30So, how have you been?
00:48:35Your business is good?
00:48:37Yes, Lady Thunder.
00:48:38And thank you.
00:48:40Your support doing my toughest year meant everything.
00:48:44My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:48:48Impressive.
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, leaving my country with stability.
00:48:57It's good to hear.
00:48:59So can I expect both of you at the gals tomorrow?
00:49:02Of course.
00:49:04Whatever you want, Lady Thunder.
00:49:06Just say the word.
00:49:08I 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.
00:49:18And me.
00:49:20What happened?
00:49:22Well, 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...
00:49:33I didn't intervene.
00:49:35No, I never authorized any of that.
00:49:41Seems I underestimated how far they've gone.
00:49:44This ends now.
00:49:46They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:49:51Well then, tomorrow should be...
00:49:54Entertaining.
00:49:55Let's shake the world together.
00:50:03Cheers.
00:50:16Sebastian?
00:50:20Sebastian?
00:50:21Hey.
00:50:23Just checked me in.
00:50:24I wanted to see if you're free tomorrow.
00:50:26What's going on?
00:50:28Well, the gala's tomorrow, and I had a few dresses made for you.
00:50:32A few?
00:50:34You make it sound like you're hosting a fashion week for me.
00:50:37Well, as your husband, it's my job to make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.
00:50:41Is that so?
00:50:43Or is it so you can make your enemies jealous?
00:50:46Who says I can't do both?
00:50:47I gotta go.
00:50:50Talk 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.
00:51:05Mr. Whitmore, Lady 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.
00:51:17Hello, Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:21Hello, Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:24Hello.
00:51:26A man.
00:51:28All right.
00:51:32Your name is John Mustafa.
00:51:34What a name is John.
00:51:36Who said?
00:51:38I'm John.
00:51:40I think he has a rookie of the other mission.
00:51:41I'm sorry.
00:51:43You took your hand in the middle of the carpet.
00:51:44Tonight 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 empty-handed.
00:52:14Unbelievable! Mr. Caldwell, you really shouldn't have! Every piece in here costs at least six figures!
00:52:24Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store.
00:52:33Oh, thank you! And your sister, too! Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and Caldwell families at the gala.
00:52:43Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely.
00:52:47That's my boy! P.H.D. Perfect! And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner?
00:52:57My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder? That girl Eleanor? Even Margaret? They're nothing!
00:53:07If she notices you, and you end up marrying her? You'd rule!
00:53:15You have got to be kidding me.
00:53:19Eleanor!
00:53:21Well, 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.
00:53:43Too bad this dress costs more than you make in here.
00:53:45Who 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?
00:53:59How shameless! First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiancé and now you're shopping like you belong here?!
00:54:05Wait, so what?
00:54:07Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger cons Sebastian to marrying her. She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.
00:54:19What? Married? Sebastian, you threw away my sister for this cheap whore?!
00:54:25Watch your mouth. Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia is over and I'll deal with her. But you never get to insult my wife.
00:54:31Your 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 you. 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.
00:54:49Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Miss Ashton? You're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:07Maybe it's a little bit better in bed now. Fuck it no more. You don't get to speak about my wife ever!
00:55:15Mr. Whitmore! You're not even CEO anymore!
00:55:19Just cause I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:55:23Please! My son has a PhD! One day, he's going to surpass you!
00:55:29Surpass 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?
00:55:44So, 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.
00:56:01And who the hell are you to say that?
00:56:04Because 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.
00:56:18You? 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!
00:56:34I don't know, Lady Thunder's no thing we can throw around like that and you can't.
00:56:38You 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?
00:57:07Eleanor, I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder? You're gonna get poor Sebastian killed.
00:57:17So, Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:57:21Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:57:28Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:57:32Enough of the circus. Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:57:42If everyone 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. The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:57:58Oh, okay.
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.
00:58:15What? That's impossible!
00:58:17And...
00:58:19Eleanor is...
00:58:20the new owner?
00:58:22No!
00:58:23No!
00:58:24No!
00:58:25This is some mistake!
00:58:26There is no way!
00:58:27That street rat owns this place!
00:58:28It's a scam!
00:58:29A trick!
00:58:30Well, Levine, looks like I owned the shop now.
00:58:31You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:58:32What?
00:58:33You bitch!
00:58:34You can't do this!
00:58:35You have any idea!
00:58:36Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:58:41Do you want to try me?
00:58:43No.
00:58:44No.
00:58:45No.
00:58:46No.
00:58:47Guards!
00:58:48Remove them.
00:58:49No!
00:58:50Daniel!
00:58:51Could she really be leading Thunder?
00:58:52Absolutely not!
00:58:53I've known her for years.
00:58:54There's...
00:58:55There's no way...
00:58:56No!
00:58:57No!
00:58:58No!
00:58:59No!
00:59:00No!
00:59:01No!
00:59:02No!
00:59:03No!
00:59:04No!
00:59:05No!
00:59:06No!
00:59:07No!
00:59:08No!
00:59:09No!
00:59:10No!
00:59:11No!
00:59:12No!
00:59:13No!
00:59:14No!
00:59:15No!
00:59:16No!
00:59:17No!
00:59:18There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle!
00:59:20Then 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, that's where she met Lady Thunder, who just so happens
00:59:30to also run a charity there!
00:59:32So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
00:59:33Exactly!
00:59:34She's nothing but a side piece with great timing!
00:59:38But tonight, I'll expose her.
00:59:47Tonight...
00:59:48Her little luck ends.
00:59:52Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me
00:59:54you're the real Lady Thunder.
00:59:59I can't tell Sebastian everything.
01:00:01Not yet.
01:00:03Not until the gala.
01:00:05Back when I was working in Africa, I met...
01:00:08You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:10Yes.
01:00:12She visited one of the shelters.
01:00:14We spoke, so...
01:00:16I reached out to her just now,
01:00:18and asked for help.
01:00:20Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:00:22Look, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:00:24This is great.
01:00:26I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side,
01:00:28there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:00:32Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:00:34Of course not.
01:00:36You're my wife.
01:00:38And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.
01:00:42Tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you.
01:00:44It's my only job now.
01:00:46That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
01:00:50But tonight, after the gala, it's official.
01:00:52Public.
01:00:54That doesn't scare you?
01:00:56I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:00:58I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:02But tonight, after the gala, it's official.
01:01:06Public.
01:01:08That doesn't scare you?
01:01:10I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:12I'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.
01:01:34Wow.
01:01:36Let's be honest.
01:01:38Sebastian 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.
01:01:54And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked.
01:02:00You'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 Gallery.
01:02:23As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.
01:02:26Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite, not parading around here like you still belong at the top.
01:02:31And you, since when did Gutter Trash just show up?
01:02:37Eleanor's my wife.
01:02:38You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:02:40Your wife?
01:02:41Did you just sing that out loud?
01:02:43Everyone, gather round.
01:02:46I have a little joke to tell you.
01:02:49Now 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.
01:02:59But instead, he married her.
01:03:02A gold digger.
01:03:04Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:07It'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.
01:03:16He offended the Caldwell family?
01:03:19He's dead now.
01:03:20You hear that, Sebastian?
01:03:22Doesn'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.
01:03:37And you, this poor excuse for 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!
01:03:58You bitch!
01:04:02You come to me, Winston.
01:04:04You bastard.
01:04:05I'm your brother!
01:04:07You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?
01:04:11Sebastian, let him go.
01:04:15I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:04:18Isn't she just a nobody?
01:04:19Where did she get the guts?
01:04:21Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails.
01:04:23Once he's gone, she's out.
01:04:26You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:04:31You chose a bitch over the blood.
01:04:34That's fine.
01:04:36As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.
01:04:39You don't have the authority to exile me from the Whitmore family.
01:04:41He does not, but I do!
01:04:54Grandma.
01:04:57Sebastian.
01:05:00I'm going to ask you this for the last time.
01:05:03Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:06No, grandmother.
01:05:08I never loved her.
01:05:09I didn't ask you if you loved her.
01:05:12I asked, will you marry her?
01:05:14No.
01:05:16I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:05:18You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:05:24You 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?
01:05:31Of 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.
01:05:39They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry, Wilmore will be nothing.
01:05:45We can't trust them.
01:05:47And we can't trust Sylvia.
01:05:48No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.
01:05:53Sharp instincts.
01:05:55Looks like I picked the right man.
01:05:57Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:05:59Sylvia promised.
01:06:01And if Sebastian agrees, the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:05You're sure?
01:06:06Absolutely.
01:06:07That's what this whole night is for.
01:06:09And Sylvia's already on her way.
01:06:12Aside from Lady Thunder, she is the centerpiece of this gala.
01:06:16If we cross her, we lose everything.
01:06:21You're right.
01:06:23We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:06:26Do you hear that?
01:06:28Do you see what we have at stake?
01:06:30What are you laughing at?
01:06:32I hate all 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?
01:06:43I'm sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:06:45What do you mean?
01:06:47What I mean is, if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle, you don't need the Caldwells.
01:06:53You need me.
01:06:57What are you saying?
01:06:58Don't be ridiculous.
01:06:59Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.
01:07:03She's out of her mind.
01:07:05The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:07:07How does someone like her say something like that?
01:07:10You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am.
01:07:13But when you find out, you'll all be kneeling.
01:07:17Prove it!
01:07:19But if you're lying, you 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.
01:07:31Mrs. 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.
01:07:48Eleanor just asked for help.
01:07:50How did she know?
01:07:52Because they played the charity card.
01:07:54Years in Africa, nannying kids, all of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:07:59Exactly.
01:08:01No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family.
01:08:06She has made a career out of clinging to powerful people.
01:08:10She's dangerous.
01:08:12She's conniving Parasite.
01:08:15You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family, and now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:08:23You ruined the alliance.
01:08:24And now you show up here, and crash the Thunder Circle Gala?
01:08:29We should make her crawl, and beg for forgiveness.
01:08:33The ones who've been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.
01:08:36They should beg for forgiveness.
01:08:38You arrogant lunatic!
01:08:41Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:08:44I'm just stating the facts.
01:08:46You miserable.
01:08:49Facts, huh?
01:08:55That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:08:57Things are about to get ugly.
01:08:58Eleanor's finished.
01:08:59Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:03Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:06My son, you could do worse than marrying her.
01:09:10Mother!
01:09:11Alright, alright!
01:09:13You were made for Lady Thunder.
01:09:14That's the one you deserve.
01:09:16Sylvia.
01:09:18Thank God you're here.
01:09:20Seriously, Winston?
01:09:21One girl.
01:09:22You crumble?
01:09:24Thaddeck!
01:09:25Move!
01:09:29So...
01:09:31First you steal.
01:09:33Then you get our stores.
01:09:36And fire my brother.
01:09:38Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?
01:09:41Why do I have to choose either?
01:09:43Are you that rattled?
01:09:46Good.
01:09:47Let's see how brave you are.
01:09:50Sylvia, don't.
01:09:53Sebastian, you're my fiancé and you're defending her?
01:09:56I never knew Mary.
01:09:58I came here tonight to talk.
01:10:00To build something better.
01:10:02Better?
01:10:04You call destroying our family legacy better?
01:10:10Fine.
01:10:12You want something better?
01:10:14Oh!
01:10:16Kneel.
01:10:18Both of you, and beg me for it.
01:10:23That's enough.
01:10:25Enough!
01:10:26I've only gotten started.
01:10:28By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist.
01:10:31Miss Caldwell, you can't do this.
01:10:34You promised to back our rise into the thundership home.
01:10:37You promised Sebastian would marry me.
01:10:40Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:41Do you hear now?
01:10:43Kneel!
01:10:44Marry her!
01:10:45Don't drag this family down with you.
01:10:47You're trying to doom us all, you ungrateful bastard!
01:10:51What's the matter with you two, Sebastian?
01:10:54Too proud to kneel?
01:10:56Looks like...
01:10:58you're the one who should be...
01:10:59Oh my god!
01:11:00She's insane!
01:11:01She's totally insane!
01:11:02Oh my god!
01:11:03Sylvia...
01:11:05Are you hurt?
01:11:07Do I look fine to you, idiot?
01:11:08You bitch!
01:11:09No one humiliates me like this!
01:11:10Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.
01:11:11I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:11:12Kill her!
01:11:14I did love her...
01:11:15I did love her!
01:11:16No...
01:11:17You...
01:11:18You bitch!
01:11:19No one humiliates me like this.
01:11:20Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.
01:11:21I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:11:23Kill her!
01:11:32I'm sure that you will get used to it.
01:11:35Kill her!
01:11:40This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala. It's not only an insult to me. It's treason against Lady Thunder herself.
01:11:48She will be eliminated and
01:11:51anyone who stands with her
01:11:54Becomes my enemy.
01:11:56This is it. If 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. She deserves to be punished.
01:12:09She's a disgrace.
01:12:11She defies everything we stand for. We must punish her.
01:12:15Punish her! Punish her! Punish her! Punish her! Punish her! Punish her! Punish her! Punish her!
01:12:25No, you got it all wrong!
01:12:27Everyone saw what she did. You'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...
01:12:38Don't you dare.
01:12:39If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:12:41Shut up, Sebastian. Everyone here wants her gone.
01:12:44You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her.
01:12:48You want to 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.
01:12:55So, Eleanor, how do you want to die?
01:12:58Impressive, Sylvia. You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:01But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:13:03All of you? You're just insects in my eyes.
01:13:07Still mouthing off?
01:13:09I'll send you straight to hell.
01:13:16And who exactly are you planning on sending to hell?
01:13:24General 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.
01:13:36What are you doing here, Pirelli?
01:13:38We 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 excited were you planning to kill?
01:13:52Her.
01:13:53She attacked me in public.
01:13:55She disrupted the gala.
01:13:59Look, 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?
01:14:08You 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.
01:14:27Lady Thunder!
01:14:34What?
01:14:35Lady Thunder, don't be ridiculous.
01:14:37She's just a gold digger, for God's sake.
01:14:41Exactly.
01:14:42She'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,
01:14:53and now she's doing the same thing.
01:14:55Sabotaging our alliance.
01:14:57She's a fraud.
01:14:58You all must be delusional.
01:15:00Fine.
01:15:01If you want to stand with a liar,
01:15:03you're all as good as dead.
01:15:05Now I understand just how bold your entire family has become.
01:15:08Do you really think that Morelli, Amir, and the entire Thunder Circle
01:15:13couldn't erase your family over her?
01:15:15The real Lady Thunder could.
01:15:17But tonight, she's gonna destroy you.
01:15:20And all your fake pretenders.
01:15:22Weapons 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 all want to defend a liar?
01:15:41Stand down!
01:15:45Stand down!
01:15:47That's Adam Lee, Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:15:50He only arrives when she commands it.
01:15:52What is happening?
01:15:53What is happening?
01:15:55Mr. 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!
01:16:15For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity
01:16:19in Africa.
01:16:20While you were polishing your shoes,
01:16:22she was saving children.
01:16:24That can't be.
01:16:27No.
01:16:28No.
01:16:29No.
01:16:30If that's true, then let her prove it.
01:16:33Lady Thunder is to confirm this circle's billion dollar investment.
01:16:38And the system's only locked with one thing.
01:16:41Her fingerprint.
01:16:43If she is who she says she is, let her unlock it.
01:16:48Yeah.
01:16:49Let her prove it.
01:16:50She can't.
01:16:51It's all just empty words.
01:16:53Go ahead, Eleanor.
01:16:55Prove you're the Lady Thunder.
01:16:58Unlock the funds right here.
01:17:00Right now.
01:17:01Eleanor.
01:17:02Are you sure?
01:17:03Sebastian.
01:17:04It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:07Highest level authorization.
01:17:34Verified, Eleanor Thunder. Type, CEO of the Thunder Circle. 100 billion funds activated.
01:17:42My God!
01:17:48My God! She is Lady Thunder!
01:17:52CEO 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! Lady Thunder!
01:18:12What now, Sylvia?
01:18:14What else do you have to say?
01:18:24Sylvia!
01:18:30Sylvia!
01:18:31Sylvia!
01:18:33This is her.
01:18:34Your call won't be even started.
01:18:37My father will kill me.
01:18:40Take them out.
01:18:41We'll deal with them later.
01:18:42So, Eleanor, it's true. You're the Lady Thunder. The CEO of the Thunder Group and the most powerful woman in the world.
01:18:55Does this even matter anymore?
01:18:56Of course it matters. I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different.
01:19:05Could they have been?
01:19:06Could they have been, Daniel?
01:19:07If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?
01:19:08That I was the one who funded you? That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:19:09We were together for seven years.
01:19:10And you never, I would have believed you.
01:19:11That I was the one who funded you? That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:19:15We were together for seven years. And you never believed in me.
01:19:16No, that's, that's not true. It's...
01:19:17All of you have believed me.
01:19:18That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group.
01:19:19We were together for seven years. And you never believed in me.
01:19:23No, that's, that's not true. It...
01:19:24You, I would have believed me.
01:19:26Daniel, if I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?
01:19:35That I was the one who funded you? That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:19:36We were together for seven years. And you never believed in me.
01:19:43No, that's, that's, that's not true. It-
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...
01:19:57You made your choice, Daniel.
01:19:59So every benefit that I gave you,
01:20:01every contact, every dollar,
01:20:03I'm taking it all back.
01:20:12Eleanor, please!
01:20:13We'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!
01:20:22Father?
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! I didn't know!
01:20:31I was stupid and blind!
01:20:34You... you're perfect, Eleanor!
01:20:38So now that I'm Lady Thunder,
01:20:40I'm good enough for your son.
01:20:43You know, ever since I got back from Africa,
01:20:46this has been done.
01:20:48You and Daniel...
01:20:51you're not part of my life anymore.
01:20:53No! Please! No!
01:20:55We were together for so long, Eleanor.
01:20:58Please!
01:20:59Please forgive me.
01:21:01You wanted a bass trap to power.
01:21:04Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:21:16Eleanor.
01:21:18Eleanor.
01:21:20Lady Thunder.
01:21:21You and my grandson make a perfect pair, so...
01:21:26Congratulations.
01:21:28Yes.
01:21:29Congratulations to you both.
01:21:31You were Sebastian.
01:21:34That's interesting.
01:21:35Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:21:38Well, no!
01:21:43That was a mistake!
01:21:45Uh...
01:21:46He's always part of my family.
01:21:47He will always be my grandson.
01:21:49I did warn you all.
01:21:51I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:21:57Grandma...
01:21:59I've decided I'm stepping away from the Witten Wolves.
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...
01:22:11I think you should be grateful that he's still calling you grandfather.
01:22:18Don't push your luck, madam.
01:22:20You're right.
01:22:28I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:22:30And respect you.
01:22:42Eleanor.
01:22:45As 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?
01:23:07Of course I will.
01:23:09And this time, as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:23:18I can't do this, you see.
01:23:21I'm sorry I can't be the one to hold you.
01:23:26When the world is on your shoulder.
01:23:29I'm sorry I am.
01:23:31I'm sorry.
01:23:33I'm sorry.
01:23:35I'm not sorry.
01:23:37I'm not sorry.
01:23:39I hope I can get you.
01:23:41I don't know what choice you want.
01:23:42I will.
01:23:43You're happy.
