00:00:00I'm sorry. What? Are 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 chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle?
00:00:21This is her first formal return back to the States, and we're her first target.
00:00:27You got it.
00:00:28A hundred billion dollars.
00:00:34That's better.
00:00:36She was right. It was a hundred billion.
00:00:40Parker. Find her.
00:00:42Find who?
00:00:43The girl from the Nairobi flight. Eleanor. I don't care what it takes. You find it.
00:00:49Understood, but what do you want with it?
00:00:53I'm going to marry her.
00:00:55Wait, 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.
00:01:12Who the hell do you think you are?
00:01:13I get it, Eleanor.
00:01:15You're not upset about the breakup.
00:01:16You're just pissed about all the money you poured into me.
00:01:20Name your number.
00:01:21Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off.
00:01:24And then we're done.
00:01:26Is that what you think?
00:01:28That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:31How about a hundred grand?
00:01:37Two hundred?
00:01:39Daniel.
00:01:40Three. That's my final offer.
00:01:43Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.
00:01:46Do you really think I'm here for the money?
00:01:49Just take the money and go.
00:01:52Daniel should have dropped you ages ago.
00:01:55God knows what you were actually doing overseas.
00:01:58And what do you mean by that?
00:02:00I mean, if you weren't selling yourself, how else could you possibly have afforded to fund Daniel's education?
00:02:07Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?
00:02:13What?
00:02:14How dare you?
00:02:16Eleanor.
00:02:17For the sake of our seven years together.
00:02:20Just take the money and leave.
00:02:24Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:28He's done with you.
00:02:30Get it through your thick head.
00:02:33She's not worth your time.
00:02:35Oh, where's Margaret?
00:02:36Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:02:38Yeah.
00:02:39Said she had to handle something first.
00:02:41She'll be here soon.
00:02:43Margaret?
00:02:45Margaret.
00:02:47Daughter of James West.
00:02:49Vice chair of the Whitmore group.
00:02:51Practically next in line.
00:02:53Next to the bathroom.
00:02:54Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:02:59Rich.
00:03:00Properly pedigree.
00:03:02And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.
00:03:06Eleanor.
00:03:08Margaret's on her way.
00:03:10You should leave.
00:03:12Trust me.
00:03:13You don't want to be here when she walks in.
00:03:15Because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.
00:03:20So that's what this really is about.
00:03:24This isn't about the job.
00:03:26This is about her.
00:03:27This is about Margaret.
00:03:28At least with her, I can build something bigger.
00:03:31Really?
00:03:32Do you really think that you could build something bigger with her than with me?
00:03:36You?
00:03:38Please.
00:03:40So.
00:03:40Do you actually think you're better than me?
00:03:57Margaret, my dear.
00:03:59You're here.
00:04:01So.
00:04:02There must be Eleanor.
00:04:04Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:04:06I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:04:10Bargain bin dress.
00:04:12Basic face.
00:04:13Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:04:17Don't mind her.
00:04:19She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:04:21She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:24So you actually think you can compete with me?
00:04:27I'm Margaret West.
00:04:29Daughter of James West.
00:04:31Vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:33And you, you're not worth the dirt under my heel.
00:04:39You're right.
00:04:40Unlike you, I don't need to cling to Daddy's title to matter.
00:04:44Excuse me?
00:04:45You really think that you can talk back to me?
00:04:49Get out of here before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:04:55Exactly.
00:04:56This is a ceremony for elites, not fed.
00:05:00What the hell is going on?
00:05:03Oh, Margaret.
00:05:08Is everything all right?
00:05:09Why don't you ask her?
00:05:11Daniel dumped her.
00:05:13And now, she's crashing his party.
00:05:17Well, Dr. Prescott was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore herself.
00:05:20So, whatever's going on here, you are out of line.
00:05:25Exactly.
00:05:27Take a look around.
00:05:29These aren't just normal guests.
00:05:31This is Whitmore's A-team.
00:05:34CEOs, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:05:38And you are just a college dropout who thinks raising children in Africa is a career.
00:05:44I was running a charity.
00:05:47Oh, charity!
00:05:49Is that what we're calling unemployment now?
00:05:52Honey, just admit that you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:05:57Everyone, we all know why she's here.
00:06:00To chase my son hoping he drags her out of the gutter.
00:06:04So, she's a gold digger.
00:06:07How pathetic.
00:06:08Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:06:14Hear that?
00:06:16This is reality.
00:06:17My son, a PhD.
00:06:19Future partner.
00:06:20And you are just the mud on his shoes.
00:06:29Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.
00:06:34Your fairy tale is over.
00:06:46Eleanor.
00:06:48A woman can be broke.
00:06:51Or uneducated.
00:06:53But delusional.
00:06:56Now, that's where I draw the line.
00:06:58No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:07:03Funny, Daniel.
00:07:04You know what my biggest mistake was?
00:07:07Believing in you.
00:07:09Seven years.
00:07:10Seven years of working and wiring you money to pay for your tuition and rent.
00:07:15And this is how it ends.
00:07:16Don't twist this.
00:07:17I didn't force you to do any of that.
00:07:21I'm not twisting anything.
00:07:23I bankrolled your PhD.
00:07:26I helped get you into Whitmore.
00:07:28And the second you get upstairs, you drop me.
00:07:34I said I would pay you back.
00:07:35What more do you want?
00:07:37This isn't a transaction.
00:07:39That's not remorse, Daniel.
00:07:41That's cowardice wrapped up in a check.
00:07:43You ungrateful bitch!
00:07:55You ungrateful bitch!
00:07:55That's enough.
00:08:01I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:05Get the fuck out of my life!
00:08:09God, look at her.
00:08:13I'm so pathetic.
00:08:15Somebody give me a towel?
00:08:17Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:08:20Lady, that's enough.
00:08:23Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:08:25You?
00:08:26You're humiliating yourself.
00:08:28Get out!
00:08:29We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:35Where?
00:08:36She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:39But things are getting ugly.
00:08:41Dr. Prescott?
00:08:43Quick, get to HQ now.
00:08:51You see that?
00:08:53Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:56Just leave, Eleanor.
00:08:58Before this gets worse for you.
00:09:00Worse?
00:09:02What, because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:09:06You want to be a circus act?
00:09:08Fine.
00:09:09But don't expect me to save you when all this blows up in your face.
00:09:13Save me?
00:09:14That's rich.
00:09:16You don't have the right.
00:09:18You never did.
00:09:19Final warning.
00:09:21Walk out on your own.
00:09:23I'll security drag you out.
00:09:26Go ahead.
00:09:26Call the guards.
00:09:29But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:32And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:34Not even Sebastian.
00:09:38Faster.
00:09:39I don't care what it takes.
00:09:39Get me to her now.
00:09:41Yes, sir.
00:09:41Eleanor.
00:09:42You have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:51Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:54You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:58Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you?
00:10:00Oh, you are so dead.
00:10:03In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.
00:10:09If I were you, I'd be more worried that you laid a hand on me.
00:10:14Sebastian might not be okay with that.
00:10:16God, you must really have a death wish.
00:10:19Eleanor.
00:10:20Forget it.
00:10:21You're upset about the breakup, but now you're spiraling.
00:10:28Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.
00:10:30You know, I was actually going to offer you a job as a janitor here, but after this, I don't
00:10:36even think you're worth that.
00:10:38You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:10:41Do you know how competitive it is to work here?
00:10:45Even our security guards have degrees, and you never finished yours.
00:10:52So that's what you think of me?
00:10:54That's reality.
00:10:56And after everything, trust me, Eleanor.
00:11:00Whitmore has no place for you.
00:11:02I don't need your recommendation.
00:11:06And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not, why don't you go ask Sebastian
00:11:11Whitmore yourself?
00:11:19Where is she?
00:11:23Where is she?
00:11:24Conference hall.
00:11:25It's tense.
00:11:27From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.
00:11:30Dumped her.
00:11:31They broke up?
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33Well, I guess that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancée.
00:11:38What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:41Seriously, you're trying to crash and burn in public?
00:11:44I'll tell you what it is.
00:11:46She couldn't keep you, so she's trying to drag you down with her.
00:11:50Ew.
00:11:51Pathetic.
00:11:52Ex-revenge?
00:11:55Don't worry, Daniel.
00:11:56I've got you.
00:11:57Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:12:03With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling, ends.
00:12:07Trust me.
00:12:08When Mr. Whitmore gets here, she'll have maybe five minutes left.
00:12:12I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:16Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:21Was it?
00:12:23Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:26Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:37Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:40He's in the lobby.
00:12:41Wait, he actually came?
00:12:42Oh my god.
00:12:43He's here for Daniel.
00:12:45You hear that, everyone?
00:12:47Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:50This is it.
00:12:54No one can touch us now.
00:12:58You hear that, sweetheart?
00:13:00Whitmore group doesn't take in strays.
00:13:03Get out.
00:13:06While you still have legs to walk out on.
00:13:09This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:13:13Half a million dollars.
00:13:16Half a million?
00:13:18For her?
00:13:19It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:24Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:26Disappear.
00:13:27This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:35Be smart.
00:13:38Take it.
00:13:40And finish.
00:13:44You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:49But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:56You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:11What the hell?
00:14:15You dare humiliate me?
00:14:19So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:21Someone who's gonna change things?
00:14:24Then go ahead.
00:14:26Make your little announcement.
00:14:28But if it's bullshit, you're gonna be crawling out of here kissing every single person's shoes.
00:14:34This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone she was in here.
00:14:40She's my wife.
00:14:54Is that high status enough for you?
00:14:57I did this to you?
00:15:12It's fine.
00:15:15Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:17I don't recall accepting that little proposal of yours on the plane.
00:15:26I meant what I said.
00:15:28Now let me take out the trash.
00:15:30And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:15:33Did you not hear me the first time?
00:15:35I'm her husband.
00:15:37This woman here,
00:15:39she's my wife.
00:15:40Wait, what?
00:15:43Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:44But he's never,
00:15:45he's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:47Oh God,
00:15:48I'm dead.
00:15:50I'm so dead.
00:15:55Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:58Eleanor, you shameless bitch.
00:16:00You strung Daniel along for years.
00:16:02For what?
00:16:03To sleep behind his back and marry someone else?
00:16:05So she was already married.
00:16:07She was never in it for you.
00:16:09She just wanted your money.
00:16:10Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?
00:16:12Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:16:15Don't twist it.
00:16:17You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:16:19She's right.
00:16:21You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:16:24Eleanor's a brilliant woman.
00:16:26You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:16:28So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker?
00:16:32He has a PhD.
00:16:34He has a $30 million partner deal.
00:16:36You watch your mouth.
00:16:38Please.
00:16:38Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing.
00:16:42And you expect us to believe she has a husband?
00:16:44Let me guess, she hired you.
00:16:46Right?
00:16:47Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride.
00:16:51Right?
00:16:52So would you say she hired an answer?
00:16:54Look at him.
00:16:56Designer suit.
00:16:57Sexy look.
00:16:58Total escort vibes.
00:17:02Exactly.
00:17:03She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:17:08Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services too.
00:17:12Oh God, that's Mr. Whitmore.
00:17:14She just called the CEO a gigolo.
00:17:17I'm Dr. Pescott.
00:17:23Oh, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:25He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:17:28She hired him by the hour.
00:17:30Let's not kid ourselves.
00:17:31Okay.
00:17:32I just need to understand.
00:17:33Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:35This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:41But since Eleanor brought him, we don't have to worry about it.
00:17:45Really, Eleanor?
00:17:47You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:50It just screams pathetic.
00:17:53Exactly.
00:17:54You pathetic social climber.
00:17:56Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:59Please stop, okay?
00:18:00Uncle Thomas, what?
00:18:02I've gotten into you.
00:18:04Why are you so fussy?
00:18:05It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:18:10I don't worry about it.
00:18:11Look, I will handle it, okay?
00:18:14You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:18:16Good.
00:18:17But before the night ends, both of you will be finished.
00:18:22So you think this is pretend?
00:18:25Still clinging to the drama.
00:18:29No offense, pretty boy, but if she can afford you, so can I.
00:18:39What's the rate?
00:18:40Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you ten times the amount if you strip for the room.
00:18:50Oh god, no, no.
00:18:52They're dead.
00:18:52They are also dead.
00:18:54Say that again.
00:18:57You heard him.
00:18:57Ten times your rate.
00:19:01Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.
00:19:03I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:19:05Oh, I, no, no, no, no, I want no part of this.
00:19:09Oh, come on.
00:19:10Don't be shy.
00:19:11Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:19:13You're going to give us a twirl, gritty boy?
00:19:16Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just called us.
00:19:25Then stop faking.
00:19:27If you're going to play pretend, you can't get mad when people call you out for what you are.
00:19:32All right, cowboy.
00:19:34Final offer.
00:19:37Ten times.
00:19:39Name your price.
00:19:44You watch your mouth.
00:19:53How dare you, you son!
00:19:56Baby, are you okay?
00:19:58I'm going to kill that bastard.
00:19:59Are you insane?
00:20:01Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:20:03I don't care who you are.
00:20:05You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:20:09You two are dead.
00:20:10You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate?
00:20:14No one will save you now.
00:20:16You just brought war on yourself.
00:20:19You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:22Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:26Let her talk.
00:20:28I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:20:32My father?
00:20:33Is vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:36Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:39And you two?
00:20:40You just flushed your future down to the toilet.
00:20:48I'm sorry.
00:20:57Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:21:00That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.
00:21:02Who do you think you are?
00:21:04No one else dares to sit here.
00:21:06I think it kind of suits me.
00:21:09Thomas?
00:21:11You recognize the seat?
00:21:14Would you say I belong here?
00:21:16Yes, sir.
00:21:20Of course you do.
00:21:21Are you out of your mind?
00:21:25That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:27No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:30And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?
00:21:33Bunny, I'm sitting and I'm sitting and I'm not moving.
00:21:38Got a problem?
00:21:41You want to play big shot?
00:21:44Fine.
00:21:45I'll give you one more chance.
00:21:47You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog in bed with Eleanor.
00:21:52Or maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:57Beg you?
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:00Get on your knees, bark, and crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.
00:22:05That's the price you pay when you defy us.
00:22:09You hear that, Eleanor?
00:22:11You and your little boy can bark together.
00:22:14How romantic.
00:22:16You're playing with fire.
00:22:17No, sweetheart.
00:22:19I am the fire.
00:22:22Now, I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:25Now.
00:22:27One.
00:22:33You.
00:22:34Margaret, please.
00:22:35Please, Margaret.
00:22:36Don't.
00:22:37Get off of me.
00:22:39She hit me.
00:22:40You think I'm going to let that slide?
00:22:42Stand.
00:22:43I do not care if she is the Queen of England.
00:22:45I'm hitting that bitch.
00:22:47Margaret.
00:22:48Margaret, you should apologize.
00:22:52What?
00:22:53You might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:22:56It's not too late to apologize.
00:22:58Just think about it.
00:23:03Has everyone lost their minds?
00:23:06You want me to apologize to these two?
00:23:09Yes, I'm good.
00:23:11The only reason I call you Uncle is because of my father.
00:23:14Now I get humiliated, and you want me to apologize?
00:23:18Yes, I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:21You don't know what you're going to step into.
00:23:24Ah!
00:23:24I'm calling my father, and we will see who crawls away when that happens.
00:23:31No, don't call him!
00:23:33Letter.
00:23:34I'd love to see what James West is going to do to me.
00:23:38But...
00:23:38Dad, I'm down on the meeting floor, and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:43Can you get down here now, please?
00:23:49He's on his way.
00:23:51And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:55Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:58Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian and this company.
00:24:04He's coming now.
00:24:06This time, you're finished.
00:24:08Not even I can help you.
00:24:10Help them?
00:24:11Please.
00:24:12They did this to themselves.
00:24:14She and her boy toy need to be crushed.
00:24:16Best.
00:24:18Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:24:20In my world, you're nothing.
00:24:22Still bluffing?
00:24:23I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in.
00:24:33Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:47Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:50This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:53What the hell's going on?
00:24:55It's not my fault.
00:24:56This woman is causing a scene.
00:24:59Look, she even slapped me.
00:25:01That's insane.
00:25:03Who here had the nerve to lay a hand on my daughter?
00:25:06You tell them who I am?
00:25:07Of course I did.
00:25:08They didn't care.
00:25:10And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's feet.
00:25:15It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:25:17That woman and her man, completely out of line.
00:25:21Mr. West, actually, there's something you should know.
00:25:24Shut up, you fool!
00:25:26You allowed someone to lay their hands on my daughter here in my building?
00:25:30Mr. West, you understand?
00:25:32That man is Mr. Whitmore.
00:25:34You dare bring up Mr. Whitmore?
00:25:37Dr. Prescott was hired by him.
00:25:40And this, this is what you allow to happen when Mr. Whitmore is to return?
00:25:45No!
00:25:45I...
00:25:46You.
00:25:49You two.
00:25:52You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:55That's right!
00:25:59Him!
00:26:00He is Eleanor's fake husband!
00:26:03And he is the one that's been causing all of the problems!
00:26:07Mr. West, my son Daniel?
00:26:11He used to date Eleanor, but that's been done for a long time now.
00:26:15He has nothing to do with what's happened here today.
00:26:18Relax.
00:26:19Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore.
00:26:22He won't be held responsible.
00:26:23Oh, thank you, Mr. West!
00:26:28Hear that?
00:26:29My dad is here.
00:26:31He runs this place right under Sebastian.
00:26:34You are so done.
00:26:36And what happened to all that attitude?
00:26:39Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:43You really have no idea what's coming.
00:26:46Have you completely lost it?
00:26:49You dragged some random escort in here to play husband,
00:26:52and now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's chair, too scared to turn around.
00:26:58Hey!
00:26:59You!
00:27:01Get your ass out of that chair right now,
00:27:04before this gets ugly.
00:27:07Alright, that's enough.
00:27:09Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this clown's face!
00:27:12With pleasure.
00:27:13With pleasure.
00:27:17With pleasure.
00:27:18Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you.
00:27:22Because when you do, your little career crumbles.
00:27:26Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:28No, it's just a fact.
00:27:30He's not someone you're a boss.
00:27:32My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:37No one outranks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:40And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:44You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:49Please.
00:27:49These two are running this like some sort of drama box show,
00:27:54but everybody knows trash is trash.
00:27:59Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:28:02You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:28:08Really?
00:28:08And why is that?
00:28:09Because you're a nobody.
00:28:11Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:28:15You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:28:19But once that chair turns around,
00:28:21you'll realize it's all you who are done for.
00:28:24You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:28:26You have truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.
00:28:30Well, this...
00:28:31I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:36You got guts.
00:28:37I'll give you that.
00:28:39My guts aren't going to help you if you piss me off.
00:28:44Now.
00:28:45Let me tell you what happens when your little husband
00:28:51tries to con his way into the Whitmore group.
00:28:57Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:58But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:29:01Maybe we should just pop them out of the country for good.
00:29:04Yes.
00:29:04That's what I plan to do.
00:29:07You.
00:29:10Turn that damn chair around right now.
00:29:12Or I'm going to do it myself.
00:29:14No, Mr. West, please.
00:29:16You can't.
00:29:16Why the hell not?
00:29:19They deserve it.
00:29:21The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared.
00:29:25You know, they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:28Apologize?
00:29:29To them?
00:29:31Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them.
00:29:39Sebastian?
00:29:40Mind saying hello?
00:29:42Suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:44That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:48No, it can't be.
00:29:49Stop pretending.
00:29:51Turn that chair around!
00:29:52Turn that chair around!
00:29:52Is that supposed to scare me?
00:30:11I turned the chair, so now what?
00:30:15No.
00:30:16No way.
00:30:17You wanted to see me, James West?
00:30:23Mr. Whitmore.
00:30:25Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:30:28He'll be here any minute.
00:30:30And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:33This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:36Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:39You might just walk out of here.
00:30:41I won't beg anyone.
00:30:42But you?
00:30:44You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:48Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:51If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:54You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:56The fantasy is dead.
00:30:58Now that my dad's here, he'll...
00:31:00He'll kill you both.
00:31:02So get out of that chair, cowboy,
00:31:03before you lose that precious ass that earns you a life.
00:31:06Shut up!
00:31:12Dad, why are you shaking?
00:31:17Oh, I get it.
00:31:18You're going to kick them out before Sebastian gets here.
00:31:21Perfect.
00:31:22Do it.
00:31:24You two are dead.
00:31:26You see my dad's hands?
00:31:28They're shaking.
00:31:29They only do that when he's really pissed.
00:31:32And the more they shake, the angrier he is.
00:31:36Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:39Please.
00:31:41My father fears no one.
00:31:44And if they're trembling,
00:31:46it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:31:52You still don't see where it sits, do you?
00:31:56Pathetic.
00:31:57You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?
00:32:00Keep talking, Eleanor.
00:32:01You're digging your own grave.
00:32:04Dad, are you done digging yet?
00:32:06Can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?
00:32:09Yes.
00:32:12Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:32:18I'm dealing with you!
00:32:30Dad!
00:32:31You fool!
00:32:33Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:35Me?
00:32:35They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:39Dad!
00:32:41Shut it!
00:32:43And apologize to them right now!
00:32:45Apologize to them?
00:32:47Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter.
00:32:49Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:51You brainless idiots!
00:33:00Do you not know who that is?
00:33:02You can't do this!
00:33:04I just...
00:33:05I'm a PhD!
00:33:06I just made partner at Whitmore!
00:33:08Oh!
00:33:09A PhD!
00:33:11Who made partner?
00:33:12I had no idea!
00:33:14That changes zero!
00:33:20PhD!
00:33:22What are you doing?
00:33:31This is my son's celebration!
00:33:33There's no celebration!
00:33:35Not without that guy!
00:33:38Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:43What?
00:33:44Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:45Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:47I apologize for my idiot kid!
00:33:52Please, sir, forgive us!
00:33:55Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:56Please forgive us!
00:33:58Yes!
00:34:06Is this been really Sebastian Whitmore?
00:34:09I don't know!
00:34:10Eleanor said she was married to that guy, that man, Sebastian!
00:34:16No!
00:34:17No!
00:34:17No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:19No!
00:34:19He's not Sebastian!
00:34:21That is just some gigolo that she hired!
00:34:24Dad!
00:34:25Dad, this is a trick, right?
00:34:26This is just some joke!
00:34:28You idiot! You have ruined the West name. Now get our roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:38So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:45Mr. Whitmer, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't know who you were. Please don't ruin us.
00:34:53You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman. But this isn't over.
00:34:58James, is this the heir you've raised? Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.
00:35:05No, sir. I am sorry. My daughter is young. She's stupid and she does not represent me.
00:35:14You're right. She doesn't. But you do. And that's the problem. You're fired.
00:35:21No, please, sir. Don't!
00:35:23So now I get it, Eleanor. That's why you had no fear. Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time.
00:35:32You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:36No, you've got it wrong. I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian. I'm untouchable because I always was.
00:35:47Seven years, Daniel. And you never once asked who I was. You were so eager to leave, you never stopped to see who you were leaving.
00:35:57I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent. Yes, your academic record is impressive. But here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity. And you failed that test. Your offer is dead.
00:36:10What? Wait, Mr. Whitmore, please. My son has been working his entire life for this place. I'll draw him out.
00:36:17My decision is final. No amount of begging is going to change it. And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott.
00:36:23I... I... I... Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:29You have gone too far!
00:36:39Madam Whitmore!
00:36:40Madam Whitmore!
00:36:45Grandma...
00:36:46Don't you dare call me that! The way you have defied this family!
00:36:55You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:58Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do? Huh? Ghost us? And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:37:07About the engagement, I'm...
00:37:09You forgot who runs this place.
00:37:11You might have the CEO title, but Grandma, you built the Whitmore Group from the ground up.
00:37:17And as far as Dr. Prescott and Mr. West, you don't have the authority to fire them.
00:37:21Did you hear that, Daniel? We were getting fired!
00:37:27But who is that guy? Why is he talking back to Sebastian?
00:37:31That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:34Word is, through families at war, Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:39Don't overstep Winston. I'm still the acting CEO. Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:46If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.
00:37:49Sebastian, James has given decades to this company. And his termination is not happening.
00:37:58Thank you, Madam Whitmore. I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:38:04And as for him, he stays.
00:38:10You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:38:13Grandma, he...
00:38:14Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:38:18And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:38:23We must garner her favor.
00:38:27And Dr. Prescott, he is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:34So, he stays for Whitmore.
00:38:39You got that?
00:38:45Yes.
00:38:46Now, let's focus on what matters.
00:38:50Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:53That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:58Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia. I'm already...
00:39:01I have made my decision and it will not change!
00:39:07No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:39:11He helped me once.
00:39:13I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:39:20Lady Thunder, Whitmore's proposal has been approved.
00:39:23We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:39:25Whitmore will be our first official US partner.
00:39:27Perfect.
00:39:28Make sure it's loud.
00:39:30I'm gonna give my husband a surprise.
00:39:42Sebastian, I know you're upset.
00:39:44But your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Caldwell family.
00:39:49And to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:52That is the future.
00:39:53You'd rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:58I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:40:02Shortcuts?
00:40:03It's called strategy.
00:40:06If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying bricks?
00:40:11And I disagree, Madam.
00:40:15That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:40:18You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:40:20What the hell is she doing?
00:40:23Oh God, it's her again.
00:40:25Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?
00:40:28Who let the trash in?
00:40:30Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.
00:40:32Who is she?
00:40:33Madam Whitmore, this is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:38She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian, pretending to be his wife just to oppose your engagement plans.
00:40:45Shut up, Daniel.
00:40:46One more word and I'll shatter your jaw.
00:40:48You see that?
00:40:49He's panicking.
00:40:51Madam?
00:40:53Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:57That girl, Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:41:01That's just part of their scheme.
00:41:04Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:41:09Yes.
00:41:10Sebastian and I started out as pretend, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:41:15And what are you playing at?
00:41:18Sebastian Whitmore.
00:41:20Are you mad at me?
00:41:29For real?
00:41:31Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
00:41:37Are you out of your mind?
00:41:38You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:41It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:46So you're trying to take advantage now.
00:41:49Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.
00:41:53Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything.
00:41:59Do you even know what you're doing?
00:42:02Of course.
00:42:03You proposed to me.
00:42:04I'm just returning the favor.
00:42:06What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:42:08Are you scared?
00:42:09Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:42:13And now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes?
00:42:15Exactly.
00:42:16I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.
00:42:20I'm saying yes to you.
00:42:21Just as you are.
00:42:23Then, Eleanor, I say yes to you.
00:42:33I will marry you.
00:42:35There.
00:42:36Where's my wife now?
00:42:38Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:42Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:44So what, you think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:43:03I see now my word means nothing to you anymore.
00:43:08So let me make this clear.
00:43:12I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:43:20Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:43:24I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:27Stop calling me that.
00:43:30The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the family.
00:43:35And this is only the beginning.
00:43:37Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder.
00:43:40And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.
00:43:44And you will attend.
00:43:46And you will pacify Sylvia, because it's your last chance.
00:43:51And if you fail, you can go pack your things and move out of our family.
00:44:07And I know you've been chasing investments behind our back.
00:44:11But Sylvia has promised me that unless you marry her, you won't see a single cent from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:17That's impossible.
00:44:19I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:21The deal's done.
00:44:22Confirmation?
00:44:24Talk is cheap.
00:44:27Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.
00:44:31Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received a signed contract yet.
00:44:34You see?
00:44:36How I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.
00:44:41And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiancé?
00:44:48You have no idea the hell you've raised.
00:44:54And Dr. Prescott, you'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.
00:44:58Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:45:00You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:45:04That's right.
00:45:05Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:45:09What?
00:45:10Comes from where?
00:45:12Is that true?
00:45:13The Thunder Circle wrote my son the letter?
00:45:17According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for Polish scholars.
00:45:21Tomorrow's your chance.
00:45:23You play your cards right, she might take a liking tea.
00:45:27Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:45:30I will go.
00:45:31Good.
00:45:32Then it's settled.
00:45:37The Thunder Circle gave their word.
00:45:39They wouldn't back out.
00:45:41Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:43Yes, sir.
00:45:45Hey.
00:45:47Relax.
00:45:49I said they'd invest in you, they slow both.
00:45:52Really?
00:45:53A back room's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:58We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.
00:46:04And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:46:08You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:46:12You are not invited, but we are.
00:46:16You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:46:19Tomorrow?
00:46:20You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband.
00:46:23Be lucky if you're still breathing by tomorrow.
00:46:26If you have even a shred of sense left, you'll get on a plane tonight.
00:46:30Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:46:35Oh, so I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:38Of course!
00:46:39You're cleaning with Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:42But not even he can support you now.
00:46:45You get it, Mom.
00:46:46Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:48If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow,
00:46:51maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:54Keep you alive.
00:46:57Let's go.
00:47:06I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle,
00:47:10you still feel this high.
00:47:11Hey.
00:47:16Don't listen to them.
00:47:18I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:47:21Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:47:23I got this.
00:47:25Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:47:28Yes, ma'am.
00:47:29I get it. You're the dangerous one.
00:47:32But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family,
00:47:36they're a lot to handle.
00:47:38So what?
00:47:39So, tomorrow I'll sign the deal.
00:47:41I'll secure everything.
00:47:43Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:45Wow, what a hero.
00:47:47Now what happened to that
00:47:49cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:53Oh, come on. That was so embarrassing.
00:47:55That guy on the plane, he's dead now.
00:47:57He no longer exists, alright?
00:48:00So, my wife?
00:48:02Shall we move to the next step?
00:48:04Let's get married.
00:48:09Heavy Thunder.

00:52:10um
00:52:24Tonight is the gala. Luckily, Sylvia introduced us to her brother Ravine. He owns the most
00:52:49exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave empty-handed.
00:52:55Unbelievable. Mr. Caldwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here costs at least six figures.
00:53:04Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store.
00:53:13Oh, thank you. And your sister, too. Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and Caldwell families at the gala.
00:53:23Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely. That's my boy.
00:53:31PhD perfect. And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner.
00:53:37My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder? That girl Eleanor?
00:53:44Margaret! They're nothing. If she notices you and you end up marrying her, you'd rule!
00:53:53You have got to be kidding me.
00:53:58Eleanor!
00:54:05Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerve showing your face around here.
00:54:13Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.
00:54:17Sebastian brought you to play dress-up. Adorable.
00:54:23Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear here.
00:54:28Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister?
00:54:33And you are? You seriously don't know? This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother?
00:54:40How shameless! First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiancé and now you're shopping like you belong here?!
00:54:47Wait, so what?!
00:54:49Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger cons Sebastian to marrying her. She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.
00:55:00What? Married? Sebastian, you threw away my sister for this cheap whore?!
00:55:07Watch your mouth. Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia is over and I'll deal with her. But you never get to insult my wife.
00:55:13Your wife? In. My. Store. I have every right to throw you both out. Her first!
00:55:22Oh 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.
00:55:31Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Miss Ashton? You're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:50Maybe. Maybe. It's a little bit better in bed now.
00:55:54Oh, but no one. You don't get here to speak about my wife. Ever!
00:55:58Mr. Whitmore! You're not even CEO anymore!
00:56:01Just cause I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:56:04Please! My son has a PhD! One day, he's going to surpass you!
00:56:12Surpass me?
00:56:13Yes! My son Daniel! He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive! Lady Thunder herself!
00:56:23What? I'm sorry, what?
00:56:26So, you regret it now? You left my son and now he's going to marry the woman that could crush you both!
00:56:35Actually, you're not entirely wrong. Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the Lady Thunder. Maybe that was possible. Once. But not anymore.
00:56:44And who the hell are you to say that?
00:56:47Because I'm Lady Thunder. Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle. And you? I mean, you've lost the right to even dream of standing by my side.
00:57:06You? Lady Thunder. Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:57:12Did everyone hear this? This lunatic thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future!
00:57:18I don't know, a Lady Thunder, so I think we could throw around like that and you can't.
00:57:24You bitch. You break into my store spouting delusions?
00:57:29Adam, I'd like you to buy up every Caldwell Boutique worldwide. I want the brand under my name.
00:57:45What? Do you even know how much it costs to buy my store?
00:57:50Eleanor, I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder? You're gonna get poor Sebastian killed.
00:58:00So Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:58:05Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:58:12Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:58:16Enough of the circus. Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:58:23If everyone touches her, I'll ruin you.
00:58:28Do you realize what you're doing? You are crossing a line.
00:58:33Seriously, Sebastian. You side with her, you're both done. The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:58:41Sylvia?
00:58:49Yes, I'm handling it.
00:58:52What? They bought it.
00:58:56The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell Boutiques.
00:59:00What? That's impossible!
00:59:02And...Eleanor is...the new owner?
00:59:11No, no! This is some mistake!
00:59:14There is no way that street rat owns this place! It's a scam! A trick!
00:59:19Well, Levine, looks like I own the shop now.
00:59:23You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:59:29What?
00:59:30You bitch!
00:59:31You can't do this! You have any idea!
00:59:34Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:59:40Do you want to try me?
00:59:43No.
00:59:45Guards!
00:59:47Remove them.
00:59:56Daniel, could she really be leading Thunder?
01:00:00Absolutely not. I've known her for years. There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle.
01:00:06Then how the fuck did she buy my sword?
01:00:08You still don't get it?
01:00:10That nanny work she did in Africa?
01:00:13That's where she met Lady Thunder, who just so happens to also run a charity there.
01:00:19So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
01:00:23Exactly.
01:00:25She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.
01:00:29But tonight, I'll expose her.
01:00:32Tonight, her little luck ends.
01:00:38Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me the real Lady Thunder.
01:00:45I can't tell Sebastian everything. Not yet.
01:00:49Not until the gala.
01:00:51Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.
01:00:55You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:56Yes.
01:00:57She visited one of the shelters we spoke, so...
01:01:02I reached out to her just now.
01:01:05Asked for help.
01:01:07Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:01:09Look, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:01:11This is great.
01:01:13I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side, there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:01:18Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:01:22Of course not.
01:01:24You're my wife.
01:01:27And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.
01:01:30Tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you.
01:01:33It's my only job now.
01:01:35That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
01:01:38But tonight, after the gala, it's official.
01:01:54Public.
01:01:56That doesn't scare you?
01:01:58I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:02:08I'm sorry.
01:02:10I'm sorry.
01:02:11I'm sorry.
01:02:13Winston, congratulations.
01:02:15Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position, and that makes you next in line for CEO.
01:02:23Well, let's be honest. Sebastian has never been CEO material.
01:02:29My grandmother saw that.
01:02:31And so did the board.
01:02:33You've got the support of the Caldwell family, and their ties to the circle aren't small.
01:02:37And tonight, Lady Thunder will be announcing who's next in line for the billion dollar investment.
01:02:44And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked in.
01:03:01You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:03:04This is the Thunder Circle Return Galley.
01:03:05As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.
01:03:07Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite, not parading around here like you still belong at the top.
01:03:19And you, since when did Gutter Trash just show up?
01:03:25Eleanor's my wife. You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:03:27Your wife? Did you just sing that out loud?
01:03:31Everyone, gather round. I have a little joke to tell you.
01:03:37Now this man, my brother, used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
01:03:44He could have married Sylvia and joined the powerful Caldwell family, but instead, he married her.
01:03:50A gold digger.
01:03:53Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:56It's true. Sebastian used to be a force.
01:04:00And now, he's just another doughy boy who got tricked by the wiles of a cheap hole.
01:04:04He offended the Caldwell family? He's dead now.
01:04:10You hear that, Sebastian? Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:04:17You shut your mouth, or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
01:04:21But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.
01:04:25Heh, and you. This poor excuse for a life. I'll deal with you first.
01:04:33I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.
01:04:38Don't you run your mouth!
01:04:39You bitch!
01:04:52You come to me, Winston. You bastard. I'm your brother!
01:04:56You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?
01:05:00Sebastian, let him go.
01:05:04I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:05:06Isn't she just a nobody? Where does she get the guts?
01:05:10Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails. Once he's gone, she's out.
01:05:15You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:05:20You chose a bitch over blood.
01:05:23That's fine.
01:05:25As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.
01:05:29You don't have the authority to exile me from Whitmore.
01:05:31He does not, but I do!
01:05:44Grandma.
01:05:46Sebastian.
01:05:48I'm going to ask you this for the last time. Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:55No, grandmother. I never loved her.
01:05:59I didn't ask you if you loved her. I asked, will you marry her?
01:06:04No. I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:06:07You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:06:12You might be my grandmother, but you don't get to insult my wife.
01:06:17Do you really think marrying into the Caldwell family is going to elevate us?
01:06:21Of course I do.
01:06:23And what are you trying to say?
01:06:26The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.
01:06:30They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry,
01:06:34Wilmore will be nothing.
01:06:36We can't trust them.
01:06:38And we can't trust Sylvia.
01:06:39No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.
01:06:44Sharp instincts.
01:06:46Looks like I picked the right man.
01:06:48Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:06:50Sylvia promised.
01:06:51And if Sebastian agrees, the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:57You're sure?
01:06:58Absolutely. That's what this whole night is for.
01:07:01And Sylvia's already on her way.
01:07:03Aside from Lady Thunder, she is the centerpiece of this game.
01:07:06If we cross her, we lose everything.
01:07:12You're right.
01:07:14We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:07:17You hear that?
01:07:19You see what we have at stake?
01:07:21What are you laughing at?
01:07:23I think all of this.
01:07:25You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.
01:07:31And you call that a strategy?
01:07:34I'm sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:07:36What do you mean?
01:07:38What I mean is, if you're looking for investment from Thunder Circle, you don't need the Caldwells.
01:07:43You don't need the Caldwells.
01:07:45You need me.
01:07:49What are you saying?
01:07:50Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:52Even a rat in the Thunder Circle has more value than you.
01:07:55It's out of her mind.
01:07:57The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:07:59How does someone like her say something like that?
01:08:02You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am.
01:08:05But when you find out, you'll all be kneeling.
01:08:09Prove it!
01:08:10But if you're lying, you know there's a price.
01:08:13I am-
01:08:15This isn't about her lies.
01:08:17She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.
01:08:19Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this, but yesterday Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Ravine Caldwell boutique.
01:08:34Sebastian, is this true?
01:08:38The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder. Eleanor just asked for help.
01:08:43How did she know?
01:08:44Because they played the charity card.
01:08:46Years in Africa, nannying kids, all of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:08:54Exactly! No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family!
01:08:59She has made a career out of clinging to powerful people!
01:09:03She's dangerous!
01:09:05The conniving Parasite!
01:09:08You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family, and now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:09:16You ruined the Alliance.
01:09:18And now you show up here, and crash the Thunder Circle Gala?
01:09:22We should make her crawl, and beg for forgiveness.
01:09:26The ones who've been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.
01:09:29They should beg for forgiveness.
01:09:31You arrogant lunatic!
01:09:34Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:09:37I'm just stating the facts.
01:09:39Humanism.
01:09:42Facts, huh?
01:09:43That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:09:44Things are about to get ugly.
01:09:45Eleanor's finished.
01:09:46Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:48Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:49My son, you could do worse than marrying her.
01:09:51Mother!
01:09:52All right, all right!
01:09:53You were made for Lady Thunder.
01:09:54That's the one you deserve.
01:09:56Sylvia!
01:09:57Thank God you're here.
01:09:58Seriously, Winston?
01:09:59One girl when you crumble?
01:10:00Pathetic!
01:10:01Move!
01:10:03So, I'm the one.
01:10:04First you steal my sister.
01:10:05Then you get our stores.
01:10:06And you're taking the time off?
01:10:07Yeah!
01:10:08You're crying off my brother.
01:10:09It's a little BS.
01:10:10She's coming out of his car.
01:10:11Uh!
01:10:12No!
01:10:13Sorry!
01:10:14No!
01:10:15No!
01:10:16I'm sorry!
01:10:17That's the one you deserve.
01:10:18I'm a bad boy!
01:10:19I'm crying out of your brother.
01:10:21That's scary!
01:10:22I'm gonna be here!
01:10:23It's scary!
01:10:24I'm not!
01:10:25First you steal, then you get our stores and fire my brother.
01:10:31Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?
01:10:35Why do I have to choose either?
01:10:37Are you that rattled?
01:10:40Good. Let's see how brave you are.
01:10:43Sylvia, don't!
01:10:46Sebastian, you're my fiancé and you're defending her?
01:10:50I never agreed to marry you.
01:10:52I came here tonight to talk. To build something better.
01:10:56Better?

01:19:17Sylvia!
01:19:19Sylvia!
01:19:20Sylvia!
01:19:21I think it is a calm moment.
01:19:23Maybe you'll start it.
01:19:25My father will kill me.
01:19:26Take them out.
01:19:27We'll deal with them later.

01:19:37My father will kill me.
01:19:39Take them out.
01:19:41We'll deal with them later.
01:19:43So, Eleanor.
01:19:45It's true.
01:19:47It's true.
01:19:49It's true.
01:19:51It's true.
01:19:53It's true.
01:19:55It's true.
01:19:57It's true.
01:19:59You're the Lady Thunder.
01:20:03The CEO of the Thunder Group.
01:20:07And the most powerful woman in the world.
01:20:11Does this even matter anymore?
01:20:13Of course it matters.
01:20:17I would have never broken up with you if I had known.
01:20:19Things could have been different.
01:20:21Could they have been, Daniel?
01:20:25Daniel.
01:20:27If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder,
01:20:29would you have believed me?
01:20:31That I was the one who funded you?
01:20:33That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:20:37We were together for seven years.
01:20:39And you never believed in me.
01:20:43No, that's not true.
01:20:45It's-
01:20:47All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:20:51I didn't mean anything to you.
01:20:57This-this-this-I-I don't-
01:20:59You made your choice, Daniel.
01:21:01So every benefit that I gave you,
01:21:03every contact, every dollar,
01:21:05I'm taking it all back.
01:21:13Eleanor, please!
01:21:15We've known each other for years!
01:21:17You've always been like a daughter to me!
01:21:19Whatever misunderstandings are between us,
01:21:23we can just-
01:21:24Your daughter?
01:21:26Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:21:28Not good enough for your son?
01:21:30It was before!
01:21:32I didn't know!
01:21:33I was stupid!
01:21:35And blind!
01:21:36You-
01:21:37You're perfect, Eleanor!
01:21:40So now that I'm Lady Thunder,
01:21:42I'm good enough for your son.
01:21:45You know, ever since I got back from Africa,
01:21:48this has been done.
01:21:51You and Daniel,
01:21:53you're not part of my life anymore.
01:21:55No! Please! No!
01:21:57We were together for so long, Eleanor.
01:22:00Please!
01:22:01Please forgive me.
01:22:03I wanted a fast track to power.
01:22:06Well, Daniel,
01:22:07I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:22:20Eleanor!
01:22:23Lady Thunder!
01:22:24You and my grandson make a perfect pair, so...
01:22:30Congratulations!
01:22:31Yes.
01:22:33Congratulations to you both!
01:22:36Where's Sebastian?
01:22:38That's interesting.
01:22:39Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:22:45Well, no!
01:22:47That was a mistake!
01:22:49He's always part of my family.
01:22:50He will always be my grandson!
01:22:52I did warn you all, I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:23:00Grandma...
01:23:03I've decided I'm stepping away from the Witten Wolves.
01:23:07It's time I've made something that's truly mine.
01:23:10And not in the family's shadow.
01:23:11But Sebastian, you...
01:23:12I think you should be grateful that he's still calling you Grandmother.
01:23:16Don't push your luck, Madam.
01:23:17You're right.
01:23:19I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:23:21And respect.
01:23:22Eleanor.
01:23:23As you can see, I'm...
01:23:24...no longer just a Witten Wolves.
01:23:25You're right.
01:23:27I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:23:28And respect.
01:23:29You're right.
01:23:30I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:23:31I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:23:32I will accept whatever choice you make.
01:23:33And respect you.
01:23:34And respect you.
01:23:35And respect you.
01:23:46Eleanor.
01:23:49As you can see, I'm...
01:23:51...no longer just a Whitmore.
01:23:53A man starting over.
01:23:54But if you'll have me, I'd like to start it with you.
01:24:05Will you stay by my side?
01:24:07And marry me?
01:24:11Of course I will.
01:24:13And this time as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:24:18I got it.
01:24:24Andkreli.
01:24:25дов."
01:24:34As you can see, you're sorry.
01:24:37I won't be the one holding you when the world comes on your shoulders.
01:24:42The world is under your shoulder.
01:24:45I don't have to a long last policy.
01:24:48I haven't been used for doing that since.
