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

00:36:32do you do huh ghost us and then strut back in here and try to fire people about the engagement
00:36:40i'm you forgot who runs this place you might have the ceo title but grandma built the whitmore group
00:36:46from the ground up and as far as dr prescott and mr west you don't have the authority to fire them
00:36:52that's winston sebastian's big brother word is through families at war grandma prefers winston
00:37:12don't overstep winston i'm still the acting ceo staffing decisions are mine
00:37:17if grandma doesn't say otherwise little brother sebastian james has given decades to this company
00:37:26and his termination is not happening thank you madam whitmore i appreciate you standing up for me
00:37:35and as for him he stays

00:37:48world and their chairwoman lady thunder arrives tomorrow we must garner her favor and dr prescott

00:39:19to the thunder circle that is the future you'd rather hand over our legacy to someone else i believe in
00:39:28building things myself not chasing shortcuts shortcuts it's called strategy if the road to
00:39:36power is already paved why waste time laying breaks
00:39:42and i disagree madam that's not strategy that's fear you can't force sebastian to marry someone else
00:39:49who the hell is she doing oh god it's her again doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself
00:39:57who let the trash in someone needs to take her back out to the curb who is she madam whitmore

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