00:00:00Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe this.

00:00:03The Thunder Circle just approved us of a direct investment.

00:00:07Wait, what?

00:00:08One hundred billion dollars.

00:00:11What?

00:00:12It's Lady Thunder's move.

00:00:14You know, the ghost chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle?

00:00:16This is her first formal return back to the States,

00:00:19and we're her first target.

00:00:22You got it.

00:00:23A hundred billion dollars.

00:00:30That's better.

00:00:31She was right.

00:00:33It was a hundred billion.

00:00:35Parker.

00:00:36Find her.

00:00:37Find who?

00:00:38The girl from the Nairobi flight.

00:00:40Eleanor.

00:00:41I don't care what it takes.

00:00:43You find her.

00:00:44Understood, but what do you want with her?

00:00:48I'm going to marry her.

00:00:50Wait, what?

00:00:52I've never seen a challenging girl like her before.

00:00:57She's the one I want.

00:00:59You self-important bitch.

00:01:06Who the hell do you think you are?

00:01:08I get it, Eleanor.

00:01:10You're not upset about the breakup.

00:01:12You're just pissed about all the money you poured into me.

00:01:15Name your number.

00:01:16Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off.

00:01:19And then we're done.

00:01:21Is that what you think?

00:01:23That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?

00:01:26How about a hundred grand?

00:01:32Two hundred?

00:01:34Daniel.

00:01:35Three.

00:01:36That's my final offer.

00:01:38Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.

00:01:41Do you really think I'm here for the money?

00:01:44Just take the money and go.

00:01:47Daniel should have dropped you ages ago.

00:01:50God knows what you were actually doing overseas.

00:01:53And what do you mean by that?

00:01:55I mean, if you weren't selling yourself, how else could you possibly have afforded to fund Daniel's education?

00:02:03Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?

00:02:08What?

00:02:09How dare you?

00:02:10Eleanor.

00:02:11For the sake of our seven years together.

00:02:15Just take the money and leave.

00:02:18Daniel, how can you be so heartless?

00:02:22He's done with you.

00:02:25Get it through your thick head.

00:02:27She's not worth your time.

00:02:29Oh, where's Margaret?

00:02:31Didn't she say she was coming tonight?

00:02:33Yeah.

00:02:34Said she had to handle something first.

00:02:36She'll be here soon.

00:02:38Margaret?

00:02:40Margaret.

00:02:42Daughter of James West.

00:02:44Vice Chair of the Whitmore Group.

00:02:46Practically next in line, next to Sebastian.

00:02:49Only someone like her is a match for my son.

00:02:53Rich.

00:02:55Properly pedigree.

00:02:57And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.

00:03:01Eleanor, Margaret's on her way.

00:03:04You should leave.

00:03:06Trust me.

00:03:07You don't want to be here when she walks in.

00:03:10Because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.

00:03:17So that's what this really is about.

00:03:19This isn't about the job.

00:03:21This is about her.

00:03:22This is about Margaret.

00:03:23At least with her, I can build something bigger.

00:03:25Really?

00:03:26Do you really think that you could build something bigger with her than with me?

00:03:30You?

00:03:31Please.

00:03:32So.

00:03:33You actually think you're better than me.

00:03:39Margaret, my dear.

00:03:40You're here.

00:03:41So.

00:03:42You must be Eleanor.

00:03:43Daniel's ex-girlfriend.

00:03:44I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.

00:03:48Bargain bin dress.

00:03:49Basic face.

00:03:50Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.

00:03:51Don't mind her.

00:03:52She never deserved to be with Daniel.

00:03:53She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.

00:03:54So you actually think you can compete with me?

00:03:58I'm lying.

00:03:59I'm lying.

00:04:00All right.

00:04:01I'm lying.

00:04:02That's the worst.

00:04:03I love this.

00:04:04All the rules.

00:04:05Thank you, girls.

00:04:06Everything.

00:04:07I'm lying.

00:04:08You know, you're right.

00:04:09Now you're lying.

00:04:10Also, we're lying.

00:04:11So.

00:04:12We're lying.

00:04:13I'm lying.

00:04:14I'm lying.

00:04:15I'm lying.

00:04:16I'm lying.

00:04:17No problem.

00:04:18No problem.

00:04:19I'm lying.

00:04:20I'm lying.

00:04:21But I'm lying.

00:04:22I'm Margaret West, daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.

00:04:29And you, you're not worth the dirt under my heel.

00:04:34You're right. Unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.

00:04:40Excuse me? You 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.

00:04:50Exactly. This is a ceremony for elites, not bad group.

00:04:55What the hell is going on?

00:05:00Ah, Margaret. Is everything alright?

00:05:04Why don't you ask her?

00:05:06Daniel dumped her, and 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're out of line.

00:05:20Exactly. Take 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 the career.

00:05:39I was running a charity.

00:05:42Oh, charity!

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. How 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. Future partner.

00:06:15And you are just the mud on his shoes.

00:06:18Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.

00:06:29Your fairy tale is over.

00:06:32Eleanor, 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. You know what my biggest mistake was?

00:07:01Believing in you.

00:07:03Seven years.

00:07:05Seven years of working and wiring you money to pay for your tuition and rent.

00:07:10And this is how it ends?

00:07:11Don't twist this.

00:07:14I didn't force you to do any of that.

00:07:16I'm not twisting anything.

00:07:18I bankrolled your PhD.

00:07:21I helped get you into Whitmore.

00:07:24And the second you get upstairs, you drop me.

00:07:29I said I would pay you back. What more do you want?

00:07:32This isn't a transaction.

00:07:34That's not remorse, Daniel.

00:07:36That's cowardice wrapped up in a check.

00:07:38We're done.

00:07:43You ungrateful bitch!

00:07:52That's enough.

00:07:57I'm done with your tantrums.

00:08:01Get the fuck out of my life.

00:08:04God, look at her.

00:08:08So pathetic.

00:08:10Somebody give me a towel?

00:08:12Her faces are gonna make me sick.

00:08:15Lady, that's enough.

00:08:18Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore Group.

00:08:20You, you're humiliating yourself.

00:08:23Get out!

00:08:29We found Eleanor, sir.

00:08:30Where?

00:08:31She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.

00:08:34But things are getting ugly.

00:08:36Dr. Prescott.

00:08:38Quick, get to HQ now.

00:08:40You see that?

00:08:47Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.

00:08:51Just leave, Eleanor.

00:08:53Before this gets worse for you.

00:08:55Worse?

00:08:56What, because I dared to stand where I don't belong?

00:09:01You want to be a circus act?

00:09:03Fine.

00:09:04But don't expect me to save you when all this blows up in your face.

00:09:08Save me?

00:09:10That's rich.

00:09:11You don't have the right.

00:09:13You never did.

00:09:14Final warning.

00:09:16Walk out on your own.

00:09:18Law security drag you out.

00:09:21Go ahead.

00:09:22Call the guards.

00:09:24But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.

00:09:27And no one has the right to push me out.

00:09:29Not even Sebastian.

00:09:33Faster.

00:09:34I don't care what it takes.

00:09:35Get me to her now.

00:09:36Yes, sir.

00:09:38All right.

00:09:39I'm not.

00:09:40I don't care what the name is Sebastian Whitmore means.

00:09:41Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.

00:09:42You just insulted the man who built this empire.

00:09:43Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you, you are so dumb.

00:09:45In your world Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.

00:09:51The man who built this empire.

00:09:53Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you?

00:09:56You are so dumb.

00:09:58In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.

00:10:04If I were you, I'd be more worried that you laid a hand on me.

00:10:09Sebastian might not be okay with that.

00:10:12God, you must really have a death wish.

00:10:14Eleanor, forget it.

00:10:16You're upset about the breakup, but now...

00:10:19You're spiraling.

00:10:23Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.

00:10:25You 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.

00:10:33You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?

00:10:36Do you know how competitive it is to work here?

00:10:39Even our security guards have degrees, and you never finished yours.

00:10:47So that's what you think of me.

00:10:48That's reality.

00:10:51And after everything, trust me, Eleanor.

00:10:55Whitmore has no place for you.

00:10:59I don't need your recommendation.

00:11:02And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not,

00:11:05why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?

00:11:07Where is she?

00:11:18Where is she?

00:11:19Conference hall.

00:11:20It's tense.

00:11:22From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.

00:11:25Dumped her.

00:11:25They broke up?

00:11:27Yeah.

00:11:28Well, I guess that saved me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancée.

00:11:33What's your goal here, Eleanor?

00:11:36Seriously, you're trying to crash and burn in public?

00:11:39I'll tell you what it is.

00:11:41She couldn't keep you, so she's trying to drag you down with her.

00:11:45Ew.

00:11:46Pathetic.

00:11:47Ex-revenge?

00:11:49Don't worry, Daniel.

00:11:51I've got you.

00:11:52Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.

00:11:58With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling, ends.

00:12:02Trust me.

00:12:03When Mr. Whitmore gets here, she'll have maybe five minutes.

00:12:07I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.

00:12:11Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.

00:12:16Was it?

00:12:18Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.

00:12:22Yes.

00:12:29Mr. Whitmore is arriving.

00:12:32Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.

00:12:35He's in the lobby.

00:12:36Wait, he actually came?

00:12:37Oh my God.

00:12:38He's here for Daniel.

00:12:40You hear that, everyone?

00:12:42Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son.

00:12:48This is it.

00:12:49No one can touch us now.

00:12:51You hear that, sweetheart?

00:12:55Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.

00:12:59Get out.

00:13:00While you still have legs to walk out on.

00:13:04This is your last offer, Eleanor.

00:13:08Half a million dollars.

00:13:12Half a million?

00:13:13For her?

00:13:14It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.

00:13:16Take the money, Eleanor.

00:13:21Disappear.

00:13:22This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.

00:13:30Be smart.

00:13:33Take it.

00:13:35And vanish.

00:13:36You talk a lot about power, Daniel.

00:13:47But when you realize the truth about who I really am...

00:13:51You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.

00:14:08What the hell?

00:14:10You dare humiliate me?

00:14:14So you're someone now, huh?

00:14:16Someone who's gonna change things?

00:14:19Then go ahead.

00:14:21Make your little announcement.

00:14:24But if it's bullshit,

00:14:25you're gonna be crawling out of here

00:14:27kissing every single person's shoes.

00:14:29Come on.

00:14:30This low-status nobody doesn't even deserve

00:14:33to kiss anyone she'll be in here.

00:14:48She's my wife.

00:14:50Is that high status enough for you?

00:14:55Mr. Rick Moore?

00:14:57I did this to you?

00:15:07It's fine.

00:15:10Just a couple flies buzzing around.

00:15:16I don't recall accepting that little proposal

00:15:18of yours on the plane.

00:15:21I meant what I said.

00:15:23Now let me take out the trash.

00:15:24And who the hell are you storming in here?

00:15:28Did you not hear me the first time?

00:15:30I'm her husband.

00:15:32This woman here?

00:15:34She's my wife.

00:15:36Wait, what?

00:15:38Mr. Whitmore married?

00:15:39But he's never.

00:15:40He's always kept his distance from women.

00:15:42Oh, God.

00:15:43I'm dead.

00:15:45I'm so dead.

00:15:46Did you just say she's your wife?

00:15:53Eleanor, you shameless bitch.

00:15:55You strung Daniel along for years.

00:15:57For what?

00:15:58To sleep behind his back and marry someone else?

00:16:00So she was already married.

00:16:02She was never in it for you.

00:16:04She just wanted your money.

00:16:05Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?

00:16:08Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?

00:16:10Don't twist it.

00:16:12You know exactly who betrayed him.

00:16:14She's right.

00:16:16You don't even realize what you've thrown away.

00:16:19Eleanor's a brilliant woman.

00:16:21You were never even close to being worthy of her.

00:16:23So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker?

00:16:27He has a PhD.

00:16:29He has a $30 million partner deal.

00:16:31You watch your mouth.

00:16:33Please.

00:16:34Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing,

00:16:37and you expect us to believe she has a husband?

00:16:38Let me guess, she hired you, right?

00:16:42Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband

00:16:44and save your pride, right?

00:16:47So would you say she hired an actor?

00:16:49Look at him.

00:16:51Designer suit, sexy look,

00:16:53total escort vibes.

00:16:57Exactly.

00:16:58She probably paid for the full fantasy package.

00:17:02Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services, too.

00:17:07Oh, God.

00:17:08That's Mr. Whitmore.

00:17:09She just called the CEO a gigolo.

00:17:16I'm Dr. Prescott.

00:17:18Oh, Uncle Thomas.

00:17:20He probably works at some private club in Soho.

00:17:23She hired him by the hour.

00:17:25Let's not kid ourselves.

00:17:26Okay.

00:17:27I just need to understand.

00:17:28Relax, Uncle Thomas.

00:17:30This cheap street whore

00:17:33doesn't belong at Whitmore.

00:17:36But since Eleanor brought him,

00:17:39we don't have to worry about it.

00:17:40Really, Eleanor?

00:17:42You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?

00:17:45It just screams pathetic.

00:17:48Exactly.

00:17:49You pathetic social climber.

00:17:51Take your filthy man

00:17:53and get the hell out of here.

00:17:54Wait, please stop, okay?

00:17:55Uncle Thomas, what?

00:17:57I've gotten into you.

00:17:59Why are you so fussy?

00:17:59It's just a washed-up babysitter

00:18:02and her rented boy toy.

00:18:05Don't worry about it.

00:18:06Look, I will handle it, okay?

00:18:09You want to keep up the fantasy?

00:18:11Good.

00:18:12But before the night ends,

00:18:14both of you will be finished.

00:18:17So you think this is pretend?

00:18:20Still clinging to the drama.

00:18:23No offense, pretty boy, but if she can afford you,

00:18:33so can I.

00:18:34What's the rate?

00:18:36Whatever she's giving you,

00:18:37I'll give you ten times the amount

00:18:39if you strip for the room.

00:18:42Oh, God, no, no.

00:18:47They're dead.

00:18:48They are also dead.

00:18:50Say that again.

00:18:52You heard him.

00:18:53Ten times your rate.

00:18:56Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.

00:18:58I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.

00:19:00Ooh, I...

00:19:01No, no, no.

00:19:02I want no part of this.

00:19:04Oh, come on.

00:19:05Don't be shy.

00:19:06Just enjoy the Bachelor show.

00:19:08You're going to give us a twirl,

00:19:10gritty boy.

00:19:14Daniel, Margaret,

00:19:16you have no idea the line you just called us.

00:19:20Then stop faking.

00:19:22If you're going to play pretend,

00:19:23you can't get mad when people call you out

00:19:25for what you are.

00:19:27All right, cowboy.

00:19:30Final offer.

00:19:32Ten times.

00:19:35Name your price.

00:19:43You watch your mouth.

00:19:48How dare you, you son!

00:19:51Baby, are you okay?

00:19:53I'm going to kill that bastard.

00:19:54Are you insane?

00:19:56Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?

00:19:59I don't care who you are.

00:20:00You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.

00:20:03You two are dead.

00:20:05You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate,

00:20:09no one will save you now.

00:20:11You just brought war on yourself.

00:20:13You have no idea who her father is.

00:20:17Is that supposed to scare us?

00:20:21Let her talk.

00:20:23I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.

00:20:26My father is vice chair of Whitmore Group.

00:20:31Even Sebastian has to respect him.

00:20:34And you two?

00:20:36You just flushed your future down to the toilet.

00:20:38Are you out of your fucking mind?

00:20:54That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.

00:20:57Who do you think you are?

00:20:59No one else dares sit here.

00:21:01I think it kind of suits me.

00:21:04Thomas.

00:21:04You recognize the seat?

00:21:09Would you say I belong here?

00:21:14Yes, sir.

00:21:15Of course you do.

00:21:18Are you out of your mind?

00:21:20That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.

00:21:22No one sits there except for him or my father.

00:21:26And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?

00:21:28Bunny, I'm sitting and I'm not moving.

00:21:33Got a problem?

00:21:35Hmm.

00:21:36You want to play big shot?

00:21:39Fine.

00:21:40I'll give you one more chance.

00:21:42You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog in bed with Eleanor.

00:21:48Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.

00:21:52Beg you?

00:21:54Yeah.

00:21:55Get on your knees, bark, and crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.

00:22:01That's the price you pay when you defy us.

00:22:04You hear that, Eleanor?

00:22:06You and your little boy can bark together.

00:22:09How romantic.

00:22:11You're playing with fire.

00:22:12No, sweetheart.

00:22:14I am the fire.

00:22:17Now I'll give you three seconds to kneel.

00:22:20Now.

00:22:22One.

00:22:28You...

00:22:28Margaret, please!

00:22:30Please, Margaret, don't!

00:22:32Get off of me!

00:22:34She hit me!

00:22:35You think I'm going to let that slide?

00:22:37I understand.

00:22:38I do not care if she is the Queen of England.

00:22:40I am hitting that bitch.

00:22:42Margaret.

00:22:44You should apologize.

00:22:47What?

00:22:47You might want to walk this back, Miss West.

00:22:51It's not too late to apologize.

00:22:53Just think about it.

00:22:58Has everyone lost their minds?

00:23:01You want me to apologize to these two?

00:23:04I swear I'm good.

00:23:05The only reason I call you Uncle is because of my father.

00:23:10Now I get humiliated and you want me to apologize?

00:23:13Yes!

00:23:14I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.

00:23:16You don't know what you're going to step into.

00:23:19What?

00:23:19I'm calling my father, and we will see who crawls away when that happens.

00:23:26No, don't call him!

00:23:28Letter.

00:23:29I'd love to see what James West is going to do to me.

00:23:33But...

00:23:33Dad?

00:23:35I'm down on the meeting floor, and some bitch just hit me.

00:23:38Can you get down here now, please?

00:23:40He's on his way.

00:23:46And when he gets here, you'll both be done.

00:23:51Oh, Eleanor.

00:23:53Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian and this company.

00:23:59He's coming now.

00:24:01This time, you're finished.

00:24:03Not even I can help you.

00:24:05Help them?

00:24:06Please.

00:24:07They did this to themselves.

00:24:08She and her boy toy need to be crushed.

00:24:11Best.

00:24:13Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.

00:24:15In my world, you're nothing.

00:24:17Still bluffing?

00:24:18I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in.

00:24:28Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?

00:24:38Dad, thank God you're here.

00:24:45This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.

00:24:48What the hell is going on?

00:24:50It's not my fault.

00:24:51This woman is causing a scene.

00:24:54Look, she even slapped me.

00:24:55That's insane.

00:24:58Who here had the nerve to lay a hand on my daughter?

00:25:01You tell them who I am?

00:25:02Of course I did.

00:25:03They didn't care.

00:25:05And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's feet.

00:25:10It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.

00:25:12That woman and her man?

00:25:14Completely out of line.

00:25:16Mr. West, actually, there's something you should know.

00:25:19Shut up, you fool!

00:25:21You allowed someone to lay their hands on my daughter here in my building?

00:25:25Mr. West, you understand?

00:25:27That man is Mr. Whitmore!

00:25:30You dare bring up Mr. Whitmore?

00:25:32Dr. Prescott was hired by him.

00:25:35And this, this is what you allow to happen when Mr. Whitmore is to return?

00:25:40No!

00:25:40I...

00:25:41You.

00:25:44You two.

00:25:47You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?

00:25:53That's right!

00:25:54Him!

00:25:55He is Eleanor's fake husband!

00:25:58And she is the one that's been causing all of the problems!

00:26:02Mr. West, my son Daniel, he used to date Eleanor, but that's been done for a long time now.

00:26:10He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.

00:26:13Relax.

00:26:14Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore.

00:26:17He won't be held responsible.

00:26:19Oh, thank you, Mr. West!

00:26:21Hear that?

00:26:24My dad is here.

00:26:26He runs this place right under Sebastian.

00:26:29You are so done.

00:26:31And what happened to all that attitude?

00:26:34Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?

00:26:38You really have no idea what's coming.

00:26:40Have you completely lost it?

00:26:44You dragged some random escort in here to play husband, and now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's

00:26:49chair too scared to turn around.

00:26:53Hey!

00:26:54You!

00:26:56Get your ass out of that chair right now, before this gets ugly.

00:27:02All right, that's enough.

00:27:04Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this clown's face!

00:27:08With pleasure.

00:27:12With pleasure.

00:27:13Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you.

00:27:17Because when you do, your little career crumbles.

00:27:20Is that supposed to scare me?

00:27:23No, it's just a fact.

00:27:25He's not someone you're a boss.

00:27:28My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.

00:27:32No one outranks him except for Sebastian.

00:27:35And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?

00:27:39You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?

00:27:44Please.

00:27:45These two are running this like some sort of drama box show,

00:27:48but everybody knows trash is trash.

00:27:54Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.

00:27:57You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.

00:28:02Really?

00:28:03And why is that?

00:28:04Because you're a nobody.

00:28:06Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.

00:28:10You all love to talk about who's finished.

00:28:14But once that chair turns around,

00:28:16you'll realize it's all you who are done for.

00:28:19You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?

00:28:21I've truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.

00:28:25Well, this...

00:28:26I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.

00:28:29You've got guts.

00:28:32I'll give you that.

00:28:34But guts aren't going to help you if you piss me off.

00:28:39Now.

00:28:43Let me tell you what happens when your little husband

00:28:46tries to con his way into the Whitmore group.

00:28:49Oh, this is exciting.

00:28:53But do you think breaking their legs is enough?

00:28:56Maybe we should just throw them out of the country for good.

00:28:59Yes.

00:28:59That's what I plan to do.

00:29:02You.

00:29:05Turn that damn chair around right now.

00:29:07Or I'm going to do it myself.

00:29:09No, Mr. West, please.

00:29:11You can't.

00:29:11Why the hell not?

00:29:14They deserve it.

00:29:15The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared.

00:29:21You know, they actually told you to apologize.

00:29:23Apologize?

00:29:24To them?

00:29:26Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them.

00:29:34Sebastian?

00:29:35Mind saying hello?

00:29:37Suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.

00:29:39That voice sounds so familiar.

00:29:43No, it can't be.

00:29:44Stop pretending.

00:29:46Turn that chair around!

00:29:51Is that supposed to scare me?

00:30:06I turned the chair.

00:30:08So now what?

00:30:10No.

00:30:11No way.

00:30:12You wanted to see me?

00:30:15James West?

00:30:18Mr. Whitmore.

00:30:20Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.

00:30:23He'll be here any minute.

00:30:25And when he gets here, you two are dead.

00:30:28This is your last chance, Eleanor.

00:30:31Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.

00:30:34You might just walk out of here.

00:30:36I won't beg anyone.

00:30:37But you?

00:30:38You can start practicing your apologies now.

00:30:44Don't waste your breath on them.

00:30:46If they want to burn, let them.

00:30:49You see that, Eleanor?

00:30:51The fantasy is dead.

00:30:53Now that my dad's here, he'll kill you both.

00:30:57So get out of that chair, cowboy,

00:30:58before you lose that precious ass that earns you a life.

00:31:01Shut up.

00:31:08Dad, why are you shaking?

00:31:12Oh, I get it.

00:31:13You're going to kick them out before Sebastian gets here.

00:31:16Perfect.

00:31:17Do it.

00:31:19You two are dead.

00:31:21You see my dad's hands?

00:31:23They're shaking.

00:31:24They only do that when he's really pissed.

00:31:27And the more they shake, the angrier he is.

00:31:31Consider perhaps he's not shaking from anger.

00:31:35Please.

00:31:36My father fears no one.

00:31:40And if they're trembling,

00:31:41it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.

00:31:47You still don't see where it sits, do you?

00:31:51Pathetic.

00:31:52You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?

00:31:55Keep talking, Eleanor.

00:31:56You're digging your own grave.

00:31:59Dad, are you done digging yet?

00:32:01Can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?

00:32:04Yes.

00:32:07Yes, I'll deal with them.

00:32:13I'm dealing with you!

00:32:22Dad!

00:32:26You fool!

00:32:28Do you not know what you've done?

00:32:30Me?

00:32:32They're the ones causing all this trouble!

00:32:34Dad!

00:32:36Shut it!

00:32:38And apologize to them right now!

00:32:41Apologize to them?

00:32:42Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter.

00:32:44Why would we apologize to them?

00:32:46You braindless idiot!

00:32:55Do you not know who that is?

00:32:57You can't do this!

00:32:58I just...

00:33:00I'm a PhD!

00:33:01I just made partner at Whitmore!

00:33:03Oh!

00:33:04A PhD!

00:33:06Who made partner?

00:33:07I had no idea!

00:33:09That changes zero!

00:33:11A PhD!

00:33:24What are you doing?

00:33:26This is my son's celebration!

00:33:28There's no celebration!

00:33:30Not without that guy!

00:33:33Because that is Sebastian,

00:33:36the CEO of Whitmore Group.

00:33:38What?

00:33:40Mr. Whitmore!

00:33:41I apologize for my idiot kid!

00:33:47Please, sir, forgive us!

00:33:50Mr. Whitmore!

00:33:51Please forgive us!

00:34:01Is that family Sebastian Whitmore?

00:34:04I don't know!

00:34:05Eleanor said she was married to that guy,

00:34:08that man,

00:34:09Sebastian!

00:34:10No!

00:34:11No!

00:34:12No!

00:34:13No!

00:34:14No!

00:34:14He's not Sebastian!

00:34:15That is just some gigolos that she hired!

00:34:19Dad!

00:34:20Dad, this is a trick, right?

00:34:21This is just some joke!

00:34:23You idiot!

00:34:25You have ruined the West name!

00:34:29Now get our roomies,

00:34:31and beg him for forgiveness!

00:34:32So that really is Sebastian!

00:34:34So that really is Sebastian?

00:34:40Mr. Whitmore, I am so sorry!

00:34:44Please forgive me, I didn't know who you were!

00:34:46Please don't ruin us!

00:34:48You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman.

00:34:51But this isn't over.

00:34:52James, is this the heir you've raised?

00:34:56Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.

00:35:00No, no, sir!

00:35:01I am sorry.

00:35:04My daughter is young.

00:35:05She's stupid, and she does not represent me.

00:35:09You're right.

00:35:10She doesn't.

00:35:11But you do.

00:35:13And that's the problem.

00:35:14You're fired.

00:35:16No, please, sir!

00:35:17Don't!

00:35:18So now I get it, Eleanor.

00:35:21That's why you had no fear.

00:35:23Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time.

00:35:27You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?

00:35:30No, you've got it wrong.

00:35:36I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian.

00:35:38I'm untouchable because I always was.

00:35:42Seven years, Daniel.

00:35:45And you never once asked who I was.

00:35:47You were so eager to leave, you never stopped to see who you were leaving.

00:35:52I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent.

00:35:56Yes, your academic record is impressive, but here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity.

00:36:00And you failed that test.

00:36:03Your offer is dead.

00:36:05What?

00:36:06Wait, Mr. Whitmore, please!

00:36:08My son has been working his entire life for this place, I'll draw him out!

00:36:12My decision is final.

00:36:13No amount of begging is going to change it.

00:36:16And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.

00:36:18I...

00:36:19I...

00:36:20I...

00:36:21Sebastian Whitmore!

00:36:23You have gone too far!

00:36:34Madam Whitmore!

00:36:35Madam Whitmore!

00:36:39Grandma!

00:36:40Don't you dare call me that!

00:36:44The way you have defied this family!

00:36:49You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.

00:36:53Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do, huh?

00:36:57Not ghost us, and then strut back in here, and try to fire people?

00:37:02No, about the engagement.

00:37:03I'm...

00:37:04You forgot who runs this place.

00:37:06You might have the CEO title, but Grandma.

00:37:09Built for the Whitmore group from the ground up.

00:37:12And as far as Dr. Prescott and Mr. West, you don't have the authority to fire them.

00:37:15Did you hear that, Daniel?

00:37:21We were getting fired!

00:37:22But who is that guy?

00:37:24Why is he talking back to Sebastian Whitmore?

00:37:26That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.

00:37:30Word is, through families at war, Grandma prefers Winston.

00:37:36Don't overstep, Winston.

00:37:37I'm still the acting CEO.

00:37:39Staffing decisions are mine.

00:37:41If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.

00:37:45Sebastian, James has given decades to this company, and his termination is not happening.

00:37:54Thank you, Madam Whitmore.

00:37:55I appreciate you standing up for me.

00:37:59And as for him, he stays.

00:38:05You do not have the authority to touch him.

00:38:08Grandma, he...

00:38:09Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.

00:38:12And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.

00:38:18We must garner her favor.

00:38:22And Dr. Prescott?

00:38:24He is just the golden boy that she is looking for.

00:38:29So, he stays for Whitmore.

00:38:34You got that?

00:38:35Yes.

00:38:41Now, let's focus on what matters.

00:38:45Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.

00:38:48That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.

00:38:53Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia.

00:38:55I'm already...

00:38:55I have made my decision, and it will not change!

00:39:02No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.

00:39:06He helped me once.

00:39:08I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.

00:39:15Lady Thunder.

00:39:16Whitmore's proposal has been approved.

00:39:18We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.

00:39:20Whitmore will be our first official U.S. partner.

00:39:22Perfect.

00:39:24Make sure it's loud.

00:39:29I'm going to give my husband a surprise.

00:39:36Sebastian, I know you're upset.

00:39:39But your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Caldwell family.

00:39:44And to the Thunder Circle.

00:39:46That is the future.

00:39:48Would you rather hand over our legacy to someone else?

00:39:52I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.

00:39:57Shortcuts?

00:39:58It's called strategy.

00:40:01If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying bricks?

00:40:07And I disagree, madam.

00:40:10That's not strategy, that's fear.

00:40:13You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.

00:40:15What the hell is she doing?

00:40:18Oh god, it's her again.

00:40:20Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?

00:40:23Who let the trash in?

00:40:25Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.

00:40:27Who is she?

00:40:28Madam Whitmore.

00:40:30This is Eleanor, my ex.

00:40:32She stalked me here, and then latched onto Sebastian, pretending to be his wife just to oppose your engagement plans.

00:40:40Shut up, Daniel.

00:40:41One more word and I'll shatter your jaw.

00:40:43Do you see that?

00:40:44He's panicking.

00:40:46Madam?

00:40:48Those two are lying to your face.

00:40:51That girl, Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.

00:40:57That's just part of their scheme.

00:40:59Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.

00:41:04Yes.

00:41:05Sebastian and I started out as pretend, but we're not pretending anymore.

00:41:10And what are you playing at?

00:41:13Sebastian Whitmore.

00:41:14Are you kidding me?

00:41:21For real?

00:41:27Oh, you've got to be shitting me.

00:41:31Are you out of your mind?

00:41:33You're doubling down on this circus.

00:41:36It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.

00:41:41So you're trying to take advantage now.

00:41:44Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.

00:41:48Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything.

00:41:55Do you even know what you're doing?

00:41:57Of course.

00:41:58You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.

00:42:02What's the matter, Sebastian?

00:42:03Are you scared?

00:42:04Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.

00:42:08And now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes?

00:42:11Exactly.

00:42:12I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.

00:42:15I'm saying yes to you.

00:42:17Just as you are.

00:42:18Then, Eleanor, I say yes to you.

00:42:29I will marry you.

00:42:33There.

00:42:35There's my wife now.

00:42:38Anyone got a problem with that?

00:42:39Well done, Sebastian.

00:42:53So what?

00:42:54You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?

00:42:59I see now my word means nothing to you anymore.

00:43:04So let me make this clear.

00:43:07I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.

00:43:15Grandma, you can't be serious.

00:43:19I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.

00:43:21Stop calling me that.

00:43:24The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the thing.

00:43:29And this is only the beginning.

00:43:32Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder.

00:43:35And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.

00:43:38And you will attend, and you will pacify, Sylvia, because it's your last chance.

00:43:46And if you fail, you can go pack your things and move out of our family.

00:43:52And I know you've been chasing investments behind our back.

00:44:05But Sylvia has promised me that unless you marry her, you won't see a single cent from the Thunder Circle.

00:44:12That's impossible.

00:44:14I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle.

00:44:16The deal's done.

00:44:17Confirmation?

00:44:20Talk is cheap.

00:44:21Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.

00:44:26Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received a signed contract yet.

00:44:30You see?

00:44:32Oh, I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.

00:44:36And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiancée?

00:44:43You have no idea the hell you've raised.

00:44:48And Dr. Prescott.

00:44:49You'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.

00:44:53Did you hear that, Daniel?

00:44:55You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.

00:44:59That's right.

00:45:00Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.

00:45:02According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for Polish scholars.

00:45:16Tomorrow's your chance.

00:45:18You play your cards right.

00:45:20She might take a liking to you.

00:45:21Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.

00:45:24I will go.

00:45:26Good.

00:45:27Then it's settled.

00:45:31The Thunder Circle gave their word.

00:45:33They wouldn't back out.

00:45:36Parker, would you please go check on that for me?

00:45:38Yes, sir.

00:45:38Hey, relax.

00:45:44I said they'd invest in you, they slow-bo.

00:45:46Really?

00:45:48A backroom's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?

00:45:52We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.

00:45:59And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.

00:46:03You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?

00:46:07Well, you are not invited, but we are.

00:46:11You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.

00:46:14Tomorrow?

00:46:15You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband.

00:46:18Be lucky if you're still breathing by tomorrow.

00:46:20If you have even a shred of sense left, you'll get on a plane tonight.

00:46:25Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.

00:46:30So I'm the gold digger now?

00:46:33Of course!

00:46:34You're cleaning to Sebastian like he's your lifeline.

00:46:36But not even he can support you now.

00:46:39Forget it, Mom.

00:46:41Talking to her is a waste of time.

00:46:43If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow,

00:46:46maybe I'll toss you a favor.

00:46:49Keep you alive.

00:46:52Let's go.

00:47:01I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle,

00:47:04you still feel this high.

00:47:06I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.

00:47:16Relax, Mr. Whitmore.

00:47:18I got this.

00:47:20Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.

00:47:22Yes, ma'am.

00:47:24I get it.

00:47:24You're the dangerous one.

00:47:27But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family, they're a lot to handle.

00:47:33So what?

00:47:34So, tomorrow I'll sign the deal.

00:47:36I'll secure everything.

00:47:37Because keeping you safe is my job now.

00:47:39Wow, what a hero.

00:47:42Now, what happened to that cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?

00:47:47Oh, come on.

00:47:48That was so embarrassing.

00:47:50That guy on the plane, he's dead now.

00:47:51He no longer exists, all right?

00:47:52So, my wife, shall we move to the next step?

00:47:59Let's get married.

00:48:00How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?

00:48:25Everything is ready.

00:48:26The media is locked.

00:48:27And the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been finalized.

00:48:30Good.

00:48:32Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family.

00:48:34This is for Sebastian.

00:48:36So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.

00:48:40Understood.

00:48:42Also, two of our allies are requesting a new.

00:48:45One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Heredia.

00:48:49They're outside.

00:48:50Should I let them in?

00:48:51Fenderman?

00:48:54Lady Thunder.

00:49:00Lady Thunder.

00:49:01Please.

00:49:05So, how have you been?

00:49:08Your business is good?

00:49:10Yes, Lady Thunder.

00:49:11And thank you.

00:49:13Your support doing my toughest year meant everything.

00:49:17My weapons empire now spans five continents.

00:49:21Impressive.

00:49:22And you, Amir?

00:49:25As usual, I'm doing well.

00:49:27Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am.

00:49:29Leading my country with stability.

00:49:32It's good to hear.

00:49:33So can I expect both of you at the gala tomorrow?

00:49:36Of course.

00:49:37Whatever you want, Lady Thunder.

00:49:39Just say the word.

00:49:40I will back you, no matter what.

00:49:43I'm afraid I can't attend.

00:49:48Things have grown tense between the Cold West and me.

00:49:53What happened?

00:49:55Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.

00:50:01Crushing competitors left and right.

00:50:03I thought they were acting with your approval, so I didn't intervene.

00:50:09No, I never authorized any of that.

00:50:14Seems I underestimated how far they've gone.

00:50:17This ends now.

00:50:20They will answer for everything that they've done.

00:50:25Well, then tomorrow should be...

00:50:28Entertaining.

00:50:32I can't.

00:50:34Let's shake the world together.

00:50:37Cheers.

00:50:38Sebastian?

00:50:55Sebastian?

00:50:57Hey.

00:50:58Just checked me in.

00:50:59I wanted to see if you're free tomorrow.

00:51:01What's going on?

00:51:02Well, the gala's tomorrow, and I had a few dresses made for you.

00:51:06If you, you make it sound like you're hosting a fashion week for me.

00:51:12Well, as your husband, it's my job to make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.

00:51:16Is that so?

00:51:18Or is it so you can make your enemies jealous?

00:51:21Who says I can't do both?

00:51:24I gotta go.

00:51:25Talk tomorrow.

00:51:30Mr. Whitmore.

00:51:32Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting.

00:51:34She won't be seeing anyone today.

00:51:35Mr. Lee, I just need to confirm about the investment.

00:51:40Mr. Whitmore.

00:51:41Lady Thunder has a high level of belief in you.

00:51:43You'll get your answer at the gala.

00:51:46Thank you, Mr. Lee.

00:52:20Tonight is the gala. Luckily, Sylvia introduced us to her brother, Ravine. He owns the most exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave empty-handed.

00:52:50Unbelievable. Mr. Caldwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here costs at least six figures.

00:52:59Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store.

00:53:08Oh, thank you. And your sister, too.

00:53:13Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and Caldwell families at the gala. Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor.

00:53:22Absolutely.

00:53:22That's my boy. PhD perfect. And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner?

00:53:33My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder, that girl Eleanor?

00:53:39They're nothing.

00:53:42If she notices you, and you end up marrying her, you'd rule!

00:53:51You have got to be kidding me.

00:53:55Eleanor!

00:53:56Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerve showing your face around here.

00:54:08Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.

00:54:13Sebastian brought you to play dress-up. Adorable.

00:54:17Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear here.

00:54:23Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister?

00:54:28And you are? You seriously don't know? This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother?

00:54:36How shameless! First, you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiancé, and now you're shopping like you belong here?

00:54:43Wait, so what?

00:54:44Poor Avian, you didn't know.

00:54:48This gold digger cons Sebastian to marrying her.

00:54:52She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.

00:54:55What? Married?

00:54:58Sebastian, you threw away my sister for this cheap whore?

00:55:02Watch your mouth.

00:55:03Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia is over, and I'll deal with her.

00:55:06But you never get to insult my wife.

00:55:08Your wife?

00:55:10In my store.

00:55:12I have every right to throw you both out.

00:55:15Her first!

00:55:17Oh yeah? Let me make it easy for you.

00:55:19We'll take everything.

00:55:21Every dress, every necklace, every damn shoe in this place.

00:55:24By the end of this day, the store will be mine.

00:55:25Wow, Eleanor, what did it take? Two days to hook him?

00:55:35Seriously, Sebastian, you're giving up Sylvia.

00:55:41For her?

00:55:42What's the appeal?

00:55:43Maybe it's a little bit better at that now.

00:55:50Oh, Whitmore.

00:55:51You don't get to speak about my wife ever.

00:55:54Mr. Whitmore, you're not even CEO anymore.

00:55:57Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.

00:55:59Please, my son has a PhD.

00:56:05One day, he's going to surpass you.

00:56:08Surpass me?

00:56:09Yes, my son Daniel.

00:56:12He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive.

00:56:16Lady Thunder herself.

00:56:18What? I'm sorry, what?

00:56:22So, you regret it now?

00:56:24You left my son, and now he's going to marry the woman that could crush you both.

00:56:30Actually, you're not entirely wrong.

00:56:33Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the Lady Thunder.

00:56:36Maybe that was possible.

00:56:37Once.

00:56:39But not anymore.

00:56:40And who the hell are you to say that?

00:56:43Because I'm Lady Thunder.

00:56:44Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle.

00:56:51And you?

00:56:52I mean, you've lost the right to even dream of standing by my side.

00:57:01You?

00:57:02Lady Thunder.

00:57:04Okay, can someone get the girl an Oscar?

00:57:07Everyone hear this?

00:57:08This lunatic thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future.

00:57:13I don't know, Lady Thunder's no thing we can throw around like that, but you can't.

00:57:18You bitch.

00:57:20You break into my store-spouting delusions?

00:57:34Adam, I'd like you to buy up every Caldwell Boutique worldwide.

00:57:39I want the brand under my name.

00:57:40What?

00:57:42Do you even know how much it costs to buy my store?

00:57:46Eleanor, I get it.

00:57:49The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder?

00:57:54You're going to get poor Sebastian killed.

00:57:56So Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?

00:58:00Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.

00:58:08Sucking them dry.

00:58:10That's all you're good for.

00:58:12Enough of the circus.

00:58:14Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?

00:58:19If anyone touches her, I'll ruin you.

00:58:24Do you realize what you're doing?

00:58:26You are crossing a line.

00:58:29Seriously, Sebastian.

00:58:31You side with her, you're both done.

00:58:34The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.

00:58:37Sylvia?

00:58:44Yes, I'm handling it.

00:58:47What?

00:58:48They bought it.

00:58:51The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell Boutiques.

00:58:56What?

00:58:56That's impossible.

00:58:58And Eleanor is the new owner?

00:59:01No, no, this is some mistake.

00:59:09There is no way that street rat owns this place.

00:59:13It's a scam, a trick.

00:59:15Well, Vivian, looks like I own the shop now.

00:59:19You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.

00:59:24What?

00:59:25You bitch.

00:59:27You can't do this.

00:59:28You have any idea.

00:59:30Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.

00:59:35Do you want to try me?

00:59:38No.

00:59:40Guards, remove them.

00:59:51Daniel, could she really be Leading Thunder?

00:59:55Absolutely not.

00:59:56I've known her for years.

00:59:59There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle.

01:00:01Then how the fuck did she buy my sword?

01:00:04You still don't get it?

01:00:05That nanny work she did in Africa?

01:00:09That's where she met Lady Thunder, who just so happens to also run a charity there.

01:00:13So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?

01:00:18Exactly.

01:00:19She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.

01:00:24But tonight, I'll expose her.

01:00:28Tonight, her little luck ends.

01:00:34Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me you're the real Lady Thunder.

01:00:36I can't tell Sebastian everything.

01:00:43Not yet.

01:00:45Not until the gala.

01:00:47Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.

01:00:50You met Lady Thunder?

01:00:51Yes.

01:00:53She visited one of the shelters.

01:00:55We spoke, so...

01:00:57I reached out to her just now.

01:01:00Asked for help.

01:01:01Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?

01:01:04Look, I'm...

01:01:05I'm sorry.

01:01:06This is great.

01:01:08I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side, there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.

01:01:14Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.

01:01:17Of course not.

01:01:19You're my wife.

01:01:22And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.

01:01:25Tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you.

01:01:28It's my only job now.

01:01:30That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.

01:01:44But tonight, after the gala, it's official.

01:01:49Public.

01:01:51That doesn't scare you?

01:01:53I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.

01:02:00I've been dying to tell you.

01:02:01I'm dying to tell you.

01:02:06I'm dying to tell you.

01:02:09Winston, congratulations.

01:02:11Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position, and that makes you next

01:02:16in line for CEO.

01:02:18Well, let's be honest.

01:02:21Sebastian has never been CEO material.

01:02:23My grandmother saw that.

01:02:25And so did the board.

01:02:27You've got the support of the Caldwell family,

01:02:29and their ties to the circle aren't small.

01:02:32And tonight, Lady Thunder will be announcing

01:02:35who's next in line for the billion dollar investment.

01:02:39And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked in.

01:02:53You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.

01:03:02You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.

01:03:05This is the Thunder Circle Return Galley.

01:03:07As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.

01:03:10Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite,

01:03:12not parading around here like you still belong at the top.

01:03:15And you, since when did Gutter Trash just show up?

01:03:20Eleanor's my wife.

01:03:22You don't get to speak to her that way.

01:03:24Your wife?

01:03:25Did you just sing that out loud?

01:03:27Everyone, gather round.

01:03:30I have a little joke to tell you.

01:03:33Now this man, my brother,

01:03:36used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.

01:03:39Well, he could have married Sylvia

01:03:41and joined the powerful Caldwell family,

01:03:43but instead, he married her.

01:03:46A gold digger.

01:03:49Now, isn't that hilarious?

01:03:51It's true.

01:03:53Sebastian used to be a force.

01:03:55And now, he's just another doughy boy

01:03:57who got tricked by the wiles of a cheap hole.

01:04:00He offended the Caldwell family?

01:04:03He's dead now.

01:04:05You hear that, Sebastian?

01:04:07Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?

01:04:09You shut your mouth or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.

01:04:18But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.

01:04:22And you, this poor excuse for her life.

01:04:27I'll deal with you first.

01:04:29I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.

01:04:33Don't you run your mouth!

01:04:43You bitch!

01:04:45You come to me, Winston.

01:04:49You bastard.

01:04:50I'm your brother!

01:04:52You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?

01:04:56Sebastian, let him go.

01:05:00I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.

01:05:02Isn't she just a nobody? Where does she get the guts?

01:05:05Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails.

01:05:08Once he's gone, she's out.

01:05:11You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.

01:05:16You chose a bitch over blood.

01:05:19That's fine.

01:05:21As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.

01:05:24You don't have the authority to exile me from Whitmore.

01:05:26He does not, but I do!

01:05:40Grandma.

01:05:42Sebastian.

01:05:45I'm going to ask you this for the last time.

01:05:48Are you going to marry Sylvia?

01:05:52No, grandmother.

01:05:53I never loved her.

01:05:54I didn't ask you if you loved her.

01:05:57I asked, will you marry her?

01:06:00No.

01:06:01I won't divorce Eleanor.

01:06:03You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?

01:06:09You might be my grandmother, but you don't get to insult my wife.

01:06:13You really think marrying into the Caldwell family is going to elevate us?

01:06:17Of course I do.

01:06:19And what are you trying to say?

01:06:21The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.

01:06:25They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry, Wilma will be nothing.

01:06:31We can't trust them.

01:06:33And we can't trust Sylvia.

01:06:34No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.

01:06:36Sharp instincts.

01:06:37Looks like I picked the right man.

01:06:39Grandma, don't listen to him.

01:06:41Sylvia promised.

01:06:42And if Sebastian agrees, the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.

01:06:48You're sure?

01:06:49Absolutely.

01:06:50That's what this whole night is for.

01:06:52And Sylvia's already on her way.

01:06:54Aside from Lady Thunder, she is the centerpiece of this gala.

01:06:58If we cross her, we lose everything.

01:07:01You're right.

01:07:02We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.

01:07:04Do you hear that?

01:07:06Do you see what we have at stake?

01:07:08What are you laughing at?

01:07:09All of this.

01:07:10You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.

01:07:15And you call that a strategy?

01:07:17You're sniffing up the wrong trail.

01:07:19What do you mean?

01:07:21What I mean is if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle,

01:07:25you don't need the Caldwells now.

01:07:26We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.

01:07:28Do you hear that?

01:07:30Do you see what we have at stake?

01:07:32What are you laughing at?

01:07:34All of this.

01:07:35You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.

01:07:38Well, you don't need the Caldwells.

01:07:40You need me.

01:07:44What are you saying?

01:07:45Don't be ridiculous.

01:07:47Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.

01:07:51Out of her mind.

01:07:52The Thunder Circle is untouchable.

01:07:54How does someone like her say something like that?

01:07:57You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am.

01:08:00But when you find out,

01:08:02you'll all be kneeling.

01:08:04Prove it.

01:08:05But if you're lying, you know there's a price.

01:08:08I am...

01:08:10This isn't about her lies.

01:08:12She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.

01:08:21Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this, but yesterday, Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Rovian Caldwell boutique.

01:08:29Sebastian, is this true?

01:08:33The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder.

01:08:36Eleanor just asked for help.

01:08:38How did she know?

01:08:40Because they played the charity card.

01:08:42Years in Africa, nannying kids.

01:08:46All of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.

01:08:48Exactly.

01:08:50No wonder she seduced Sebastian, took him against his own family.

01:08:54She has made a career out of clinging into powerful people.

01:08:58She's dangerous.

01:09:00A conniving parasite.

01:09:02You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family, and now you're trying to drag us down with you?

01:09:11You ruined the Alliance.

01:09:13And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala?

01:09:18We should make her crawl and beg for forgiveness.

01:09:22The ones who've been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.

01:09:25They should beg for forgiveness.

01:09:27You arrogant lunatic!

01:09:29Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?

01:09:32I'm just stating the facts.

01:09:34She knows her.

01:09:37Facts, huh?

01:09:43That's Sylvia Caldwell.

01:09:45Things are about to get ugly.

01:09:47Eleanor's finished.

01:09:48Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.

01:09:51Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?

01:09:54My son, you could do worse than marrying her.

01:09:58Mother!

01:09:59All right, all right!

01:10:01You were made for Lady Thunder.

01:10:03That's the one you deserve.

01:10:05Sylvia!

01:10:07Thank God you're here.

01:10:09Seriously, Winston?

01:10:11One girl and you crumble?

01:10:13Pathetic!

01:10:14Move!

01:10:18So...

01:10:20First you steal her.

01:10:22Then you get our stores.

01:10:25And fire my brother.

01:10:27Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?

01:10:31Why do I have to choose either?

01:10:33Are you that rattled?

01:10:35Good.

01:10:37Let's see how brave you are.

01:10:39Sylvia, don't!

01:10:43Sebastian, you're my fiancé and you're defending her?

01:10:45I never agreed to marry her.

01:10:47I came here tonight to talk.

01:10:49To build something better.

01:10:51Better.

01:10:53You call destroying our family legacy better?

01:11:00Fine.

01:11:02You want something better?

01:11:04Woo!

01:11:05Neil.

01:11:07Both of you, and beg me for it.

01:11:12That's enough.

01:11:14Enough!

01:11:15I've only gotten started.

01:11:17By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist.

01:11:21Miss Caldwell, you can't do this.

01:11:23You promised the back our rise into the thundership home.

01:11:27You promised Sebastian would marry me.

01:11:30Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.

01:11:32Do you hear that?

01:11:33Neil!

01:11:34Marry her!

01:11:35Don't drag this family down with you!

01:11:37You're trying to doom us all, you ungrateful bastard!

01:11:41What's the matter with you two, Sebastian?

01:11:44Too proud to kneel?

01:11:46Looks like...

01:11:48You're the one who should be kneeling.

01:11:51Ah!

01:11:53Ah!

01:11:56Oh my god!

01:12:00Oh my god!

01:12:01She's insane! She's totally insane!

01:12:04Oh my god.

01:12:06Sylvia...

01:12:07Are you hurt?

01:12:09Ah!

01:12:11Do I look fine to you idiot?

01:12:16You bitch!

01:12:18No one humiliates me like this!

01:12:21Oh, well there's a first sign for everything.

01:12:23I'm sure that you will get used to it.

01:12:26Kill her!

01:12:31This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala.

01:12:35It's not only an insult to me,

01:12:37it's treason against Lady Thunder herself.

01:12:40She will be eliminated.

01:12:42And anyone who stands with her,

01:12:45becomes my enemy.

01:12:47This is it.

01:12:48If I stand with Sylvia now,

01:12:50I'll win her and Lady Thunder's favor.

01:12:53Sylvia's right!

01:12:55Eleanor defied Lady Thunder.

01:12:58She deserves to be punished.

01:13:00I set it back.

01:13:01She's a disgrace.

01:13:03She defied everything we stand for.

01:13:05We must punish her.

01:13:07Punish her!

01:13:09Punish her!

01:13:11Punish her!

01:13:12Punish her!

01:13:13Punish her!

01:13:16No, you got it all wrong!

01:13:18Everyone saw what she did.

01:13:20You're really gonna defend her?

01:13:21Did you hear that, Eleanor?

01:13:23Game over.

01:13:25You breathe, because I allow it.

01:13:28When I say you're finished...

01:13:30Don't you dare.

01:13:32If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.

01:13:33Shut up, Sebastian!

01:13:34Everyone here wants her gone!

01:13:36You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her.

01:13:40You wanna ruin yourself?

01:13:41Fine.

01:13:43But don't drag the Whitmores down with you.

01:13:45This is what happens when you defy the Caldwells.

01:13:48So, Eleanor, how do you wanna die?

01:13:50Impressive, Sylvia.

01:13:52You twisted the truth so quickly.

01:13:54But you picked the wrong opponent.

01:13:56All of you?

01:13:57You're just insects in my eyes.

01:13:59Still mouthing off?

01:14:01I'll send you straight to hell!

01:14:08And who exactly are you planning on sending to hell?

01:14:15General Vareli and Prince Amir?

01:14:18What are they doing here?

01:14:20This is the Thunder Circle's return gala.

01:14:22Big names were expected.

01:14:24Too bad for her.

01:14:25She's even more screwed now.

01:14:28What are you doing here, Pirelli?

01:14:30We were just about to take out the trash.

01:14:33So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle justice,

01:14:37I suggest you let us finish.

01:14:40Sylvia Caldwell.

01:14:42Who excited were you planning to kill?

01:14:46Her.

01:14:47She attacked me in public.

01:14:50She disrupted the gala.

01:14:52Look, I know we've had our differences.

01:14:55But don't tell me you're here to steal my credit to impress Lady Thunder.

01:14:59Steal credit?

01:15:01You really have no idea what you've just done.

01:15:04One more word out of you.

01:15:06And the Caldwell name is history.

01:15:08You're serious?

01:15:10Deadly.

01:15:11You touch her again.

01:15:12And your entire empire burns to the ground.

01:15:15Because the woman you just threatened is Lady Thunder herself.

01:15:21Lady Thunder!

01:15:28What?

01:15:29Lady Thunder, don't be ridiculous.

01:15:32She's just a gold digger, for God's sake.

01:15:36Exactly!

01:15:37She's a broke hooker.

01:15:39This is just another bluff.

01:15:40She's a broke hooker.

01:15:41She's pulling the same stunts.

01:15:43Okay?

01:15:44She already used Lady Thunder to crush the Caldwell stores.

01:15:48And now she's doing the same thing.

01:15:50Sabotaging our alliance.

01:15:51She's a fraud.

01:15:53You all must be delusional.

01:15:55Fine.

01:15:56If you want to stand with a liar, you're all as good as dead.

01:16:00Now I understand just how bold your entire family has become.

01:16:04Do you really think that Borelli, Amir, and the entire Thunder Circle

01:16:07couldn't erase your family over her?

01:16:10The real Lady Thunder could.

01:16:12But tonight, she's gonna destroy you.

01:16:15And all your fake pretenders.

01:16:16Weapons up.

01:16:17Lay a finger on her and I promise you, none of you will be alive to regret this.

01:16:31You won't want to defend a liar!

01:16:36Stand down!

01:16:40Stand down!

01:16:42That's Adam Lee.

01:16:43Lady Thunder's right hand.

01:16:45He only arrives when she commands it.

01:16:48What is happening?

01:16:50Mr. Lee.

01:16:52Finally.

01:16:54Your Lady Thunder's assistant, tell them this woman is lying.

01:16:58Tell them she's not Lady Thunder!

01:17:00Right!

01:17:01She's just my ex.

01:17:02How could she be anything?

01:17:04Lady Thunder manages portfolios worth billions.

01:17:07She babysits orphans.

01:17:09Shut up!

01:17:10For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity in Africa.

01:17:16While you were polishing your shoes, she was saving children.

01:17:20That can't be!

01:17:23No, no, no.

01:17:25If that's true, then let her prove it.

01:17:29Lady Thunder is to confirm this circle's billion-dollar investment.

01:17:34And the system's only locked with one thing.

01:17:37Her fingerprints.

01:17:40If she is who she says she is, let her unlock her.

01:17:44Yeah!

01:17:45Let her prove it!

01:17:46She can't!

01:17:47It's all just empty words!

01:17:49Go ahead, Eleanor.

01:17:51Prove you're the Lady Thunder.

01:17:54Unlock the funds.

01:17:55Right here.

01:17:56Right now!

01:17:59Eleanor.

01:18:01Are you sure you can do this?

01:18:04Sebastian.

01:18:06It's time for them to see the truth.

01:18:28Highest level authorization.

01:18:30Verified.

01:18:31Eleanor Thunder.

01:18:32Type.

01:18:33CEO of the Thunder Circle.

01:18:35One.

01:18:36Hundred.

01:18:37Billion.

01:18:38Funds activated.

01:18:39My God!

01:18:44My God!

01:18:46She is Lady Thunder!

01:18:48The CEO of the Thunder Circle!

01:18:50She's investing a hundred billion dollars into Sebastian?

01:18:53What?

01:18:54No, this isn't happening.

01:18:55Now you all know who I really am.

01:18:58She really opened it!

01:19:00Eleanor is Lady Thunder!

01:19:04Lady Thunder!

01:19:06Lady Thunder!

01:19:07You are-

01:19:09What now, Sylvia?

01:19:10What else do you have to say?

01:19:11Sylvia!

01:19:12Sylvia!

01:19:13Sylvia!

01:19:14Sylvia!

01:19:15This is her.

01:19:16Your call will be even started.

01:19:17My father will kill me.

01:19:18Take them out.

01:19:19We'll deal with them later.

01:19:33My father will kill me.

01:19:34My father will kill me.

01:19:35My father will kill me.

01:19:36My father will kill me.

01:19:37Take them out.

01:19:38We'll deal with them later.

01:19:39So, Eleanor, it's true.

01:19:56You're the Lady Thunder.

01:20:01The CEO of the Thunder Group.

01:20:03And the most powerful woman in the world.

01:20:06Does this even matter anymore?

01:20:10Of course it matters.

01:20:13I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different.

01:20:19Could they have been, Daniel?

01:20:23If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?

01:20:26That I was the one who funded you?

01:20:28That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?

01:20:32We were together for seven years.

01:20:35And you never believed in me.

01:20:40No, that's not true.

01:20:42All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.

01:20:48I didn't mean anything to you.

01:20:49I, this, this, this, I, I, I, I don't.

01:20:55You made your choice, Daniel.

01:20:57So every benefit that I gave you, every contact, every dollar, I'm taking it all back.

01:21:02Eleanor, please, we've known each other for years.

01:21:13You've always been like a daughter to me.

01:21:16Whatever misunderstandings are between us, it consists.

01:21:20Your daughter?

01:21:22Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?

01:21:25Not good enough for your son?

01:21:26It was before.

01:21:27I didn't know.

01:21:29I was stupid and blind.

01:21:32You, you're perfect, Eleanor.

01:21:36So now that I'm Lady Thunder, I'm good enough for your son.

01:21:41You know, ever since I got back from Africa, this has been done.

01:21:46You and Daniel, you're not part of my life anymore.

01:21:50No, please, no.

01:21:53We were together for so long, Eleanor.

01:21:56Please, please forgive me.

01:21:59I wanted a fast track to power.

01:22:02Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.

01:22:16Eleanor.

01:22:18Lady Thunder.

01:22:20You and my grandson make a perfect pair.

01:22:25Congratulations.

01:22:27Yes. Congratulations to you both.

01:22:31Where is Sebastian?

01:22:33That's interesting.

01:22:34Didn't you expel him from your family?

01:22:40Well, no.

01:22:42That was a mistake.

01:22:44He's always part of my family.

01:22:46He will always be my grandson.

01:22:48I did warn you all.

01:22:49I told you that you would regret casting him aside.

01:22:52Grandma.

01:22:53I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.

01:22:54It's time I've made something that's truly mine.

01:22:55And not in the family's shadow.

01:22:56But Sebastian, you...

01:22:57I think you should be grateful that he's still calling you grandfather.

01:22:59Don't push your luck, madam.

01:23:00Don't push your luck, madam.

01:23:01You're right.

01:23:02I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:03I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:04And respect.

01:23:05I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:06And respect.

01:23:08I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:09And respect.

01:23:10I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:12And respect.

01:23:14You should be grateful that he's still calling you Grandfather.

01:23:17Don't push your luck, madam.

01:23:22You're right.

01:23:27I will accept whatever choice you make.

01:23:30And respect.
