00:00:00I'm sorry.
00:00:01What?
00:00:02Are you sure?
00:00:05Mr. Whitmore, you're not going to believe this.
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,
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, find her.
00:00:42Find who?
00:00:43The girl from the Nairobi flight.
00:00:45Eleanor, I don't care what it takes.
00:00:47You find her.
00:00:49Understood, but what do you want with her?
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.
00:01:04You self-important bitch.
00:01:11Who the hell do you think you are?
00:01:12I get it, Eleanor.
00:01:14You're not upset about the breakup.
00:01:16You're just pissed about all the money you poured into me.
00:01:19Name your number.
00:01:20Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off.
00:01:23And then we're done.
00:01:25Is that what you think?
00:01:27That I'm here chasing the money that I gave you?
00:01:31How about a hundred grand?
00:01:37Two 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.
00:01:57And what do you mean by that?
00:01:58I mean, if you weren't selling yourself,
00:02:02how else could you possibly have afforded to fund Daniel's education?
00:02:06Do you actually expect me to believe you made that sort of money nannying children?
00:02:11What?
00:02:13How dare you?
00:02:14Eleanor.
00:02:15For the sake of our seven years together,
00:02:19just take the money and leave.
00:02:22Daniel, how can you be so heartless?
00:02:26He's done with you.
00:02:28Get it through your thick head.
00:02:31She's not worth your time.
00:02:34Oh, where's Margaret?
00:02:35Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:37Said she had to handle something first.
00:02:39She'll be here soon.
00:02:40Margaret?
00:02:43Margaret.
00:02:45Daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:02:49Practically next in line, next to the bathroom.
00:02:52Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:02:56Rich, properly pedigree.
00:03:00And you are just a misstep he never should have taken.
00:03:04Eleanor, Margaret's on her way.
00:03:07You should leave.
00:03:09Trust me.
00:03:10You don't want to be here when she walks in because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed.
00:03:19So that's what this really is about.
00:03:21This isn't about the job.
00:03:23This is about her.
00:03:24This is about Margaret.
00:03:25At least with her, I can build something bigger.
00:03:28Really?
00:03:29Do you really think that you could build something bigger with her than with me?
00:03:33You?
00:03:34Please.
00:03:35Please.
00:03:36So.
00:03:37You actually think you're better than me.
00:03:46Margaret, my dear.
00:03:47You're here.
00:03:48So.
00:03:49You must be Eleanor.
00:03:50Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:03:51I mean, you look exactly how I pictured.
00:04:07Bargain bin dress, basic face.
00:04:10Still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:04:14But don't mind her.
00:04:15She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:04:17She's just a pathetic shadow tugging along.
00:04:20So you actually think you can compete with me?
00:04:23I'm Margaret West, daughter of James West, vice chair of the Whitmore Group.
00:04:30And you, you're not worth the dirt under my heel.
00:04:35You're right.
00:04:36Unlike 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.
00:04:49Exactly.
00:04:50This is a ceremony for elites, not fed group.
00:04:55What the hell is going on?
00:04:57Oh, Margaret, is everything all right?
00:05:05Why don't you ask her?
00:05:07Daniel dumped her, and now she's crashing his party.
00:05:12Well, Dr. Piscot was handpicked by Mr. Whitmore herself.
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.
00:05:39I was running a charity.
00:05:41Oh, charity!
00:05:43Is that what we're calling unemployment now?
00:05:47Honey, just admit that you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:05:52Everyone, we all know why she's here.
00:05:55To chase my son, hoping he drags her out of the gutter.
00:06:00So she's a gold digger.
00:06:02How pathetic.
00:06:03Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:06:10Hear that?
00:06:11This is reality.
00:06:12My son, a PhD.
00:06:14Future partner.
00:06:15And you are just the mud on his shoes.
00:06:24Now, crawl back into your cave where you came from.
00:06:29Your fairy tale is over.
00:06:31Elinor, a woman can be broke.
00:06:46Or uneducated, but delusional.
00:06:50And 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!
00:07:54That's enough.
00:07:55I'm done with your tantrums.
00:08:01Get the fuck out of my life!
00:08:04God.
00:08:05Look at her.
00:08:06So pathetic.
00:08:08Somebody give me a towel?
00:08:10Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:08:14Lady, that's enough.
00:08:16Dr. Prescott's an asset to the Whitmore group.
00:08:18You?
00:08:19You're humiliating yourself.
00:08:21Get out!
00:08:26We found Eleanor, sir.
00:08:28Where?
00:08:29She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:08:31What?
00:08:32Things are getting ugly.
00:08:33Dr. Prescott?
00:08:35Quick!
00:08:36Get to HQ now.
00:08:40You see that?
00:08:41Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:08:42Just leave, Eleanor.
00:08:43Before this gets worse for you.
00:08:44Worse?
00:08:45What?
00:08:46Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:08:47You want to be a circus act?
00:08:48Fine.
00:08:49But don't expect me to save you when all this blows up in your face.
00:08:56Save me?
00:08:57That's rich.
00:08:58You don't have the right.
00:08:59You never did.
00:09:00Final warning.
00:09:01Walk out on your own.
00:09:02I'll security drag you out.
00:09:04Go ahead.
00:09:05Call the guards.
00:09:06But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:11And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:13Not even Sebastian.
00:09:14Faster.
00:09:15I don't care what it takes.
00:09:16Get me to her now.
00:09:17Yes, sir.
00:09:18DOESD fato
00:09:22But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:25And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:27Not even Sebastian.
00:09:31Faster.
00:09:32I don't care what it takes.
00:09:33Get me to her now.
00:09:34Yes, sir.
00:09:37Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:43Wow, you are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:46You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:50Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you?
00:09:53You are so dumb.
00:09:56In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.
00:10:01If I were you, I'd be more worried that you laid a hand on me.
00:10:06Sebastian might not be okay with that.
00:10:09God, you must really have a death wish.
00:10:11Eleanor, forget it.
00:10:13You're upset about the breakup, but now you're spiraling.
00:10:19Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that.
00:10:22You know, I was actually going to offer you a job as a janitor here,
00:10:26but after this, I don't even think you're worth that.
00:10:30You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:10:32Do you know how competitive it is to work here?
00:10:36Even 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.
00:10:55I don't need your recommendation.
00:10:58And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not,
00:11:01why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:03Where is she?
00:11:15Where is she?
00:11:16Conference hall.
00:11:17It's tense.
00:11:18From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott used to be involved.
00:11:21Dumped her.
00:11:22They broke up?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24Well, I guess that saved me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancƩe.
00:11:26What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:32Seriously, you're trying to crash and burn in public?
00:11:35I'll tell you what it is.
00:11:37She couldn't keep you, so she's trying to drag you down with her.
00:11:40Ew.
00:11:41Pathetic.
00:11:43Ex-revenge?
00:11:45Don't worry, Daniel.
00:11:47I've got you.
00:11:51Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:11:53With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling, it ends.
00:11:57Trust me.
00:11:59When Mr. Whitmore gets here, she'll have maybe five minutes left.
00:12:03I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:07Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:11Was it?
00:12:13Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:22Yes.
00:12:23Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:27Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:30He's in the lobby.
00:12:31Wait, he actually came?
00:12:32Oh my God.
00:12:33He's here for Daniel.
00:12:35You hear that, everyone?
00:12:37Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son.
00:12:43This is it.
00:12:44No one can touch us now.
00:12:47You hear that, sweetheart?
00:12:49Whitmore Group doesn't take in strays.
00:12:52Get out.
00:12:55While you still have legs to walk out on.
00:12:58This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:13:01Half a million dollars.
00:13:06Half a million?
00:13:08For her?
00:13:08It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:13Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:15Disappear.
00:13:17This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:22You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:35But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:45You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:02Shit, what the hell?
00:14:04You dare humiliate me?
00:14:06So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:10Someone who's gonna change things?
00:14:13Then go ahead.
00:14:15Make your little announcement.
00:14:17But if it's bullshit, you're gonna be crawling out of here kissing every single person's shoes.
00:14:23Come on.
00:14:24This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes in here.
00:14:29She's my wife.
00:14:43Is that high status enough for you?
00:14:49Mr. Rick Moore?
00:14:50I did this to you?
00:15:00It's fine.
00:15:03Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:15:09I 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?
00:15:27She's my wife.
00:15:29Wait, what?
00:15:30Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:32But he's never.
00:15:32He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:35Oh God.
00:15:36I'm dead.
00:15:37I'm so dead.
00:15:42Did you just say she's your wife?
00:15:45Eleanor, you shameless bitch!
00:15:47You strung Daniel along for years.
00:15:49For what?
00:15:50To seep behind his back and marry someone else?
00:15:53So she was already married.
00:15:54She was never in it for you.
00:15:56She just wanted your money.
00:15:57Was this your plan all along, Eleanor?
00:16:00Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:16:02Don't twist it.
00:16:04You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:16:06She's right.
00:16:07You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:16:10Eleanor is a brilliant woman.
00:16:12You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:16:15So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker.
00:16:19He has a PhD.
00:16:20He has a $30 million partner deal.
00:16:23You watch your mouth.
00:16:25Please.
00:16:26Eleanor just crawled back here with nothing.
00:16:28And you expect us to believe she has a husband?
00:16:31Let me guess.
00:16:32She hired you.
00:16:33Right?
00:16:33Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride.
00:16:37Right?
00:16:38So would you say she hired an actor?
00:16:41Look at him.
00:16:42Designer suit.
00:16:44Sexy look.
00:16:45Total escort vibes.
00:16:47Exactly.
00:16:50She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:16:54Maybe he throws in a couple of extra services too.
00:16:58Oh God.
00:16:59That's Mr. Whitmore.
00:17:01She just called the CEO.
00:17:02A gigolo.
00:17:07I'm Dr. Prescott.
00:17:10Oh, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:11He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:17:14She hired him by the hour.
00:17:16Let's not kid ourselves.
00:17:18I don't need to understand.
00:17:19Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:22This cheap street whore doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:17:28But since Eleanor brought him, we don't have to worry about it.
00:17:31Really, Eleanor?
00:17:33You think hiring a cowboy makes you powerful?
00:17:36It just screams pathetic.
00:17:39Exactly.
00:17:40You pathetic social climber.
00:17:42Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:17:45Wait, please stop, okay?
00:17:46Uncle Thomas, what?
00:17:47I've gotten into you.
00:17:49You're so fussy.
00:17:51It's just a washed up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:17:55Don't worry about it.
00:17:57Look, I will handle it, okay?
00:18:00You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:18:02Good.
00:18:03But before the night ends, both of you will be finished.
00:18:08So you think this is pretend?
00:18:10Still clinging to the drama.
00:18:19No offense, pretty boy.
00:18:21But if she can afford you, so can I.
00:18:24What's the rate?
00:18:26Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you ten times the amount.
00:18:29Just if you strip for the room.
00:18:35Oh God, no, no.
00:18:37They're dead.
00:18:38They are also dead.
00:18:40Say that again.
00:18:42You heard him.
00:18:44Ten times your rate.
00:18:46Oh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.
00:18:48I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:18:50No, I want no part of this.
00:18:54Oh, come on.
00:18:55Don't be shy.
00:18:56Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:18:58You're going to give us a twirl, gritty boy.
00:19:01Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just called us.
00:19:09Then stop faking.
00:19:11If you're going to play pretend, you can't get mad when people call you out for what you are.
00:19:16All right, cowboy.
00:19:19Final offer.
00:19:22Ten times.
00:19:24Name your price.
00:19:32You watch your mouth.
00:19:37How dare you, you son!
00:19:40Baby, are you okay?
00:19:42I'm going to kill that bastard.
00:19:44Are you insane?
00:19:45Do you have any idea who you just laid your hands on?
00:19:48I don't care who you are.
00:19:49You don't talk about me or my wife like that ever again.
00:19:52You two are dead.
00:19:54You let a cowboy punch a senior candidate, no one will save you now.
00:20:00You just brought war on yourself.
00:20:03You have no idea who her father is.
00:20:06Is that supposed to scare us?
00:20:10Let her talk.
00:20:12I'm interested to see who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:20:15My father is vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:19Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:23And you two?
00:20:24You just rushed your future back towards him.
00:20:40Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:20:43That seat belongs to Sebastian Whitmore.
00:20:45Who do you think you are?
00:20:47No one else dares sit here.
00:20:49I think it kind of suits me.
00:20:52Thomas.
00:20:54You recognize the seat.
00:20:57Would you say I belong here?
00:21:02Yes, sir.
00:21:03Of course you do.
00:21:06Are you out of your mind?
00:21:07That seat belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:10No one sits there except for him or my father.
00:21:13And you actually dare to park your dumpy ass there?
00:21:18Funny.
00:21:19I'm sitting.
00:21:20And I'm not moving.
00:21:21Got a problem?
00:21:24You want to play big shot?
00:21:27Fine.
00:21:27I'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.
00:21:45Bark.
00:21:45And crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.
00:21:48That's the price you pay when you defy us.
00:21:51You hear that, Eleanor?
00:21:53You and your little boy can bark together.
00:21:57How romantic.
00:21:58You're playing with fire.
00:22:00No, sweetheart.
00:22:02I am the fire.
00:22:04Now, I'll give you three seconds to kneel.
00:22:07Now.
00:22:09One.
00:22:15You...
00:22:16Margaret, please!
00:22:17Please, Margaret.
00:22:18Don't.
00:22:19Get off of me!
00:22:21She hit me!
00:22:22You think I'm going to let that slide?
00:22:24Stand.
00:22:25I do not care if she is the Queen of England.
00:22:27I am hitting that bitch.
00:22:29Margaret.
00:22:31You should apologize.
00:22:34What?
00:22:34You might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:22:37It's not too late to apologize.
00:22:40Just think about it.
00:22:45Has everyone lost their minds?
00:22:48You want me to apologize to these two?
00:22:50Yes, I'm good.
00:22:53The only reason I call you uncle is because of my father.
00:22:56Now I get humiliated and you want me to apologize?
00:23:00Yes, I'm doing this to protect you, Margaret.
00:23:02You don't know what you're going to step into.
00:23:05What?
00:23:05I'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.
00:23:19But...
00:23:19Dad, I'm down on the meeting floor and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:24Can you get down here now, please?
00:23:30He's on his way.
00:23:32And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:36Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:39Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian in this company.
00:23:45He's coming now.
00:23:46This time, you're finished.
00:23:49Not even I can help you.
00:23:51Help them?
00:23:52Please.
00:23:53They did this to themselves.
00:23:54She and her boy toy need to be crushed.
00:23:57Best.
00:23:58Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:24:00In my world, you're nothing.
00:24:01Still 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.
00:24:36This 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?
00:24:46You tell them who I am.
00:24:47Of course I did.
00:24:48They didn't care.
00:24:50And even worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Mr. Whitmore's seat.
00:24:55It's true, Mr. Vice Chair.
00:24:57That woman and her man?
00:24:59Completely out of line.
00:25:00Mr. 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?
00:25:24No!
00:25:25I...
00:25:26You.
00:25:29You two.
00:25:32You are the ones that are stirring up all this trouble?
00:25:37That's right!
00:25:39Him!
00:25:39He is Eleanor's fake husband!
00:25:42And she is the one that's been causing all of the problems!
00:25:45Mr. 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.
00:25:57Relax.
00:25:58Dr. Prescott was personally chosen by Mr. Whitmore.
00:26:01He won't be held responsible.
00:26:03Oh, thank you, Mr. West!
00:26:05Hear that?
00:26:08My dad is here.
00:26:10He runs this place right under Sebastian.
00:26:13You are so done.
00:26:15And what happened to all that attitude?
00:26:18Hiding behind a chair now that a real boss is in the room?
00:26:21You really have no idea what's coming.
00:26:23Have you completely lost it?
00:26:27You dragged some random escort in here to play husband, and now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's
00:26:33chair too scared to turn around.
00:26:37Hey!
00:26:38You!
00:26:39Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:26:44All right, that's enough.
00:26:47Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this cloud's face!
00:26:51With pleasure.
00:26:55With pleasure.
00:26:57Daniel, I wouldn't touch that chair if I were you, because when you do, your little career
00:27:02crumbles.
00:27:04Is that supposed to scare me?
00:27:06No, it's just a fact.
00:27:09He's not someone you ever thought.
00:27:10My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:15No one outranks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:18And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:22You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:26Please.
00:27:28These two are running this like some sort of drama box show, but everybody knows trash is
00:27:35trash.
00:27:36Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:27:40You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:27:45Really?
00:27:46And why is that?
00:27:47Because you're a nobody.
00:27:49Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:27:54You all love to talk about who's finished, but once that chair turns around, you'll realize
00:27:59it's all you who are done for.
00:28:01You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:28:04I've truly lost her fucking mind since our breakup.
00:28:07Well, this...
00:28:08I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:13You got guts.
00:28:14I'll give you that.
00:28:16But guts aren't going to help you if you piss me off.
00:28:18Now, let me tell you what happens when your little husband tries to con his way into the
00:28:30Whitmore group.
00:28:34Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:35But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:38Maybe 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, or I'm going to do it myself.
00:28:51No, Mr. West, please!
00:28:53You can't!
00:28:53Why the hell not?
00:28:56They deserve it.
00:28:58The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so scared!
00:29:02You know, they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:05Apologize?
00:29:06To them?
00:29:08Well, since you're all so desperate,
00:29:10Sebastian, mind 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!
00:29:25Stop pretending!
00:29:27Turn that chair around!
00:29:29Turn that chair around!
00:29:40Is that supposed to scare me?
00:29:48I turned the chair, so now what?
00:29:49No, no way.
00:29:54You wanted to see me, James West?
00:29:59Mr. Whitmore!
00:30:00Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:30:04He'll be here any minute.
00:30:06And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:30:09This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:30:12Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:15You might just walk out of here.
00:30:17I won't beg anyone.
00:30:18But you?
00:30:20You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:24Middle!
00:30:25Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:27If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:30You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:31The fantasy is dead.
00:30:34Now that my dad's here, he'll...
00:30:35He'll kill you both.
00:30:37So get out of that chair, cowboy,
00:30:39before you lose that precious ass that earns you a life.
00:30:41Shut up!
00:30:49Dad, why are you shaking?
00:30:52Oh, I get it.
00:30:53You're going to kick them out before Sebastian gets here.
00:30:56Perfect.
00:30:57Do it.
00:30:59You two are dead.
00:31:02You see my dad's hands?
00:31:04They're shaking.
00:31:05They only do that when he's really pissed.
00:31:07And the more they shake, the angrier he is.
00:31:10Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:15Please.
00:31:17My father fears no one.
00:31:19And if they're trembling,
00:31:21it's because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:31:27You still don't see where it sits, do you?
00:31:31Pathetic.
00:31:32You're still bragging even when you're about to be thrown out of here?
00:31:35Keep talking, Eleanor.
00:31:36You're digging your own grave.
00:31:39Dad, are you done digging?
00:31:40Daniel, can we go ahead and deal with these nobodies?
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:47Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:31:53I'm dealing with you!
00:32:04Dad!
00:32:05You fool!
00:32:07Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:10Me?
00:32:11They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:14Dad!
00:32:15Shut it!
00:32:17And apologize to them right now!
00:32:20Apologize to them?
00:32:21Mr. West, they assaulted your daughter.
00:32:24Why would we apologize to them?
00:32:25You brainless idiots!
00:32:34Do you not know who that is?
00:32:36You can't do this!
00:32:37I just...
00:32:38I'm a PhD!
00:32:40I just made partner at Whitmore!
00:32:42Oh!
00:32:43A PhD!
00:32:45Who made partner?
00:32:46I had no idea!
00:32:48That changes zero!
00:32:56PhD!
00:32:56What are you doing?
00:33:04This is my son's celebration!
00:33:07There's no celebration!
00:33:09Not without that guy!
00:33:11Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:19I apologize for my idiot kid!
00:33:25Please, sir, forgive us!
00:33:29Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:30Please forgive us!
00:33:39Is this family's attention Whitmore?
00:33:42I don't know!
00:33:44Eleanor said she was married to that guy, that man, Sebastian!
00:33:49No!
00:33:50No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:52No!
00:33:52He's not Sebastian!
00:33:54That is just some gigolos that she hired!
00:33:57Dad!
00:33:58Dad, this is a trick, right?
00:33:59This is just some joke!
00:34:01You idiot!
00:34:03You have ruined the West name!
00:34:07Now get on roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:11So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:13Mr. Whitmore, I am so sorry!
00:34:21Please forgive me!
00:34:22I didn't know who you were!
00:34:23Please don't ruin us!
00:34:26You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman!
00:34:29But this isn't over!
00:34:31James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:34:34Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is!
00:34:37No, no, no, sir!
00:34:39I am sorry!
00:34:41My daughter is young, she's stupid, and she does not represent me!
00:34:47You're right, she doesn't!
00:34:49But you do!
00:34:50And that's the problem!
00:34:52You're fired!
00:34:54No, please, sir, don't!
00:34:56So now I get it, Eleanor!
00:34:58That's why you had no fear!
00:35:00Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time!
00:35:04You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:10No, you've got it wrong!
00:35:13I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian!
00:35:16I'm untouchable because I always was!
00:35:19Seven years, Daniel!
00:35:22And you never once asked who I was!
00:35:25You were so eager to leave, you never stopped to see who you were leaving!
00:35:29I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent!
00:35:33Yes, your academic record is impressive, but here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity!
00:35:38And you failed that test!
00:35:40Your offer is dead!
00:35:42What?
00:35:43Wait, Mr. Whitmore, please!
00:35:45My son has been working his entire life for this place!
00:35:48I'll throw him out!
00:35:49My decision is final!
00:35:50No amount of begging is going to change it!
00:35:52And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott!
00:35:55I, I, I...
00:35:57Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:06You have gone too far!
00:36:10Madam Whitmore!
00:36:12Madam Whitmore!
00:36:16Grandma!
00:36:17Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:21The way you have defied this family!
00:36:23You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian!
00:36:30Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do, huh?
00:36:34Ghost us?
00:36:35And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:38About the engagement, I'm...
00:36:40You forgot who runs this place!
00:36:42You might have the CEO title, but Grandma built the Whitmore Group from the ground up!
00:36:48And as far as Dr. Prescott and Mr. West, you don't have the authority to fire them!
00:36:55Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:36:57They were getting fired!
00:36:59But who is that guy?
00:37:00Why is he talking back to Sebastian Whitmore?
00:37:02That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:06Word is, through families at war, Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:10Don't overstep Winston, I'm still the acting CEO, staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:17If Grandma doesn't say otherwise, little brother.
00:37:22Sebastian, James has given decades to this company, and his termination is not happening.
00:37:30Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:37:31I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:37:35And as for him, he stays.
00:37:38You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:37:44Grandma, he...
00:37:45Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:37:49And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:37:53We must garner her favor.
00:37:58And Dr. Prescott?
00:38:00He is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:04So, he stays.
00:38:08For Whitmore.
00:38:09For Whitmore.
00:38:09You got that?
00:38:15Yes.
00:38:16Now, let's focus on what matters.
00:38:20Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:23That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:28Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia.
00:38:30I'm already...
00:38:30I have made my decision, and it will not change!
00:38:35No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:38:41He helped me once.
00:38:43I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:38:50Lady Thunder, Whitmore's proposal has been approved.
00:38:53We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:38:55Whitmore, we are our first official U.S. partner.
00:38:57Perfect.
00:38:59Make sure it's loud.
00:39:04I'm going to give my husband a surprise.
00:39:05Sebastian, I know you're upset, but your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Caldwell family and to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:21That is the future.
00:39:22You'd rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:27I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:39:31Shortcuts?
00:39:32It's called strategy.
00:39:35If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying breaks?
00:39:41And I disagree, madam.
00:39:45That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:39:47You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:39:49What the hell is she doing?
00:39:52Oh god, it's her again.
00:39:54Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?
00:39:57Who let the trash in?
00:39:59Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.
00:40:01Who is she?
00:40:02Madam Whitmore.
00:40:04This is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:07She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian, pretending to be his wife just to oppose your engagement plans.
00:40:13Shut up, Daniel.
00:40:15One more word and I'll shatter your jaw.
00:40:17You see that?
00:40:18He's panicking.
00:40:19Madam?
00:40:22Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:26That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:40:31That's just part of their scheme.
00:40:33Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Sebastian and I started out as pretenders, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:43And what are you playing at?
00:40:44Sebastian Whitmore?
00:40:48Are you kidding me?
00:40:50For real?
00:40:57Oh, you've got to be shitting me.
00:41:04Are you out of your mind?
00:41:06You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:09It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:14So you're trying to take advantage now.
00:41:17Even if Sebastian's in trouble, there's no way he'd stoop to marrying a lowlife like you.
00:41:22Sebastian, if you say yes to her now, you will lose everything.
00:41:27Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:30Of course.
00:41:31You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:34What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:41:36Are you scared?
00:41:37Eleanor, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:41:41And now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes?
00:41:44Exactly.
00:41:44I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune.
00:41:48I'm saying yes to you.
00:41:50Just as you are.
00:41:56Then, Eleanor, I say yes to you.
00:42:02I will marry you.
00:42:06There.
00:42:08There's my wife now.
00:42:10Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:14Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:25So what?
00:42:26You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:42:32I see now my word means nothing to you anymore.
00:42:36So let me make this clear.
00:42:38I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:42:49Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:42:51I've already secured an investment from the Thunder Circle.
00:42:53I...
00:42:53Stop calling me that.
00:42:56The moment you proposed to that woman, you made your choice over the thing.
00:43:01And this is only the beginning.
00:43:04Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder.
00:43:06And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.
00:43:11And you will attend.
00:43:13And you will pacify Sylvia.
00:43:15Because it's your last chance.
00:43:17And if you fail, you can go pack your things and move out of our family.
00:43:24And I know you've been chasing investments behind our back.
00:43:37But Sylvia has promised me that unless you marry her, you won't see a single cent from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:43That's impossible.
00:43:45I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:47The deal's done.
00:43:48Confirmation?
00:43:49Talk is cheap.
00:43:52Unless you have a signed contract, you have nothing.
00:43:57Mr. Whitmore, we haven't received the signed contract yet.
00:44:01See?
00:44:03How I can't wait to see you fall, little brother.
00:44:06And you, girl, think you can just come in here and steal Sylvia's fiancƩe?
00:44:13You have no idea the hell you've raised.
00:44:19And Dr. Prescott, you'll be joining us tomorrow for the gala.
00:44:23Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:44:25You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:44:29That's right.
00:44:30Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:34What?
00:44:35Comes from where?
00:44:37Is that true?
00:44:39The Thunder Circle wrote my son a letter?
00:44:42According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for Polish scholars.
00:44:46Tomorrow's your chance.
00:44:47You play your cards right.
00:44:50She might take a liking to you.
00:44:52Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:44:55I will go.
00:44:56Good.
00:44:57Then it's settled.
00:45:01The Thunder Circle gave their word.
00:45:03They wouldn't back out.
00:45:06Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:08Yes, sir.
00:45:10Hey.
00:45:12Relax.
00:45:12I said they'd invest in you.
00:45:15They slow both.
00:45:16Really?
00:45:17A backroom's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:22We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.
00:45:29And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:45:33You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:45:37Well, you are not invited, but we are.
00:45:41You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:45:43Tomorrow?
00:45:45You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband.
00:45:47Be lucky if you're still breathing by tomorrow.
00:45:50If you have even a shred of sense left, you'll get on a plane tonight.
00:45:55Stop wasting your last hours chasing your gold digger fantasy.
00:45:59Oh, so I'm the gold digger now?
00:46:02Of course!
00:46:03You're cleaning to Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:06But not even he can support you now.
00:46:08Forget it, Mom.
00:46:10Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:12If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow,
00:46:15maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:18Keep you alive.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:24I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle,
00:46:33you still feel this high.
00:46:38Hey.
00:46:39Don't listen to them.
00:46:41I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:46:45Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:46:47I thought this.
00:46:48Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:46:51Yes, ma'am.
00:46:53I get it.
00:46:53You're the dangerous one.
00:46:54But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family,
00:46:59they're a lot to handle.
00:47:01So what?
00:47:02So, tomorrow I'll sign the deal.
00:47:04I'll secure everything.
00:47:06Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:08Wow, what a hero.
00:47:10Now what happened to that cocky CEO
00:47:13who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:16Oh, come on.
00:47:17That was so embarrassing.
00:47:18That guy on the plane, he's dead now.
00:47:20He no longer exists, all right?
00:47:21So, my wife?
00:47:25Shall we move to the next step?
00:47:27Let's get married.
00:47:28How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:52Everything is ready.
00:47:54The meeting is locked,
00:47:55and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been firewashed.
00:47:58Good.
00:48:00Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family.
00:48:02This is for Sebastian.
00:48:04So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.
00:48:08Understood.
00:48:08Also, two of our allies are requesting a meeting.
00:48:13One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate,
00:48:15and the other is General Hareda.
00:48:17They're outside.
00:48:18Should I let them in?
00:48:19Fingerman?
00:48:25Lady Thunder.
00:48:27Lady Thunder.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:33So, how have you been?
00:48:35Your business is good?
00:48:36Yes, Lady Thunder.
00:48:38And thank you.
00:48:40Your support doing my toughest year meant everything.
00:48:44My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:48:48Impressive.
00:48:50And you, Amir?
00:48:52As usual, I'm doing well.
00:48:54Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am,
00:48:57leading my country with stability.
00:48:59It's good to hear.
00:49:00So, can I expect both of you at the gala tomorrow?
00:49:03Of course.
00:49:03Whatever you want, Lady Thunder.
00:49:06Just say the word.
00:49:08I will back you, no matter what.
00:49:12I'm afraid I can't attend.
00:49:15Things have grown tense between the Cold West and me.
00:49:20What happened?
00:49:21Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.
00:49:27Crushing competitors left and right.
00:49:30I thought they were acting with your approval, so I didn't intervene.
00:49:35No, I never authorized any of that.
00:49:41Seems I underestimated how far they'd go.
00:49:43This ends now.
00:49:46They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:49:52Well, then tomorrow should be...
00:49:55entertaining.
00:49:58I can't.
00:50:01Let's shake the world together.
00:50:03Cheers.
00:50:04Cheers.
00:50:04Sebastian?
00:50:21Sebastian?
00:50:23Hey.
00:50:24Just checking in.
00:50:25I wanted to see if you're free tomorrow.
00:50:27What's going on?
00:50:28Well, the gala's tomorrow, and I had a few dresses made for you.
00:50:32If you, you make it sound like you're hosting a fashion week for me.
00:50:38Well, as your husband, it's my job to make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.
00:50:42Is that so?
00:50:44Or is it so you can make your enemies jealous?
00:50:47Who says I can't do both?
00:50:50I gotta go.
00:50:51Talk tomorrow.
00:50:55Mr. Whitmore.
00:50:57Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting.
00:51:00She won't be seeing anyone today.
00:51:01Mr. Lee, I just need to confirm about the investment.
00:51:05Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:06Lady Thunder has a high level of belief in you.
00:51:09You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:51:11Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:51:50Tonight is the gala. Luckily, Sylvia introduced us to her brother, Ravine. He owns the most
00:52:08exclusive boutique in the city. Even celebrities come here and still leave empty-handed.
00:52:14Unbelievable. Mr. Caldwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here costs at least six figures.
00:52:24Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want
00:52:31in the store. Thank you. And your sister too. Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the
00:52:39Whitmore and Caldwell families at the gala do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely.
00:52:47That's my boy. Ph.D. perfect. And maybe about to become Lady Thunder's future partner?
00:52:57My boy, let's be honest. Next to Lady Thunder, that girl Eleanor, even Margaret,
00:53:03she notices you and you end up marrying her, you'd rule.
00:53:15You have got to be kidding me. Eleanor.
00:53:23Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerve showing your face around here.
00:53:31Watch your mouth. My wife can go wherever the hell she pleases.
00:53:36Sebastian brought you to play dress up. Adorable.
00:53:43Too bad this dress costs more than you may hear here.
00:53:46Who is she, Sebastian? I thought you were still with my sister.
00:53:51And you are? You seriously don't know?
00:53:54This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother? How shameless. First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiance and now you're
00:54:04shopping like you belong here? Wait, so what?
00:54:09Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger cons Sebastian to marrying her. She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.
00:54:17What? Married? Sebastian, you threw away my sister for this cheap whore?
00:54:24Watch your mouth. Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia is over and I'll deal with her.
00:54:28But you never get to insult my wife. Your wife? In my store? I have every right to throw you both out.
00:54:37Her first. Oh yeah? Let me make it easy for you. We'll take everything. Every dress, every necklace,
00:54:44every damn shoe in this place. At the end of this day, the store will be mine.
00:54:51Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Sebastian, you're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:05Maybe, maybe it's a little bit better in bed now.
00:55:12Oh, Woodmore. You don't get to speak about my wife ever.
00:55:16Mr. Woodmore, you're not even CEO anymore. Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:55:21Please. My son has a PhD. One day, he's going to surpass you.
00:55:29You surpass me? Yes, my son Daniel. He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive. Lady Thunder herself.
00:55:40What? I'm sorry, what? So, you regret it now? You left my son and now he's going to marry the woman that could crush you both.
00:55:52Actually, you're not entirely wrong. Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the Lady Thunder. Maybe that was possible. Once.
00:56:00But not anymore. And who the hell are you to say that? Because I'm Lady Thunder.
00:56:05I'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.
00:56:22You? Lady Thunder. Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:56:28Everyone hear this? This lunatic thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future.
00:56:34I don't know. A Lady Thunder's no thing we can throw around like that. You can't.
00:56:39You bitch. You break into my store spouting delusions.
00:56:55Adam, I'd like you to buy up every Caldwell boutique worldwide. I want the brand under my name.
00:57:01What? Do you even know how much it costs to buy my store?
00:57:06Eleanor, I get it. The breakup scrambled your brain, but pretending to be Lady Thunder? You're gonna get poor Sebastian killed.
00:57:16So Daniel, in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:57:21Even if you clawed your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:57:28Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:57:32Enough of the circus. Can we call security and drag them out of here before she brings all of us down?
00:57:39If anyone touches her, I'll ruin you.
00:57:43Do you realize what you're doing? You are crossing a line.
00:57:49Seriously, Sebastian. You side with her, you're both done. The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:57:56Oh. Sylvia? Yes, I'm handling it. What? They bought it. The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell boutiques.
00:58:15What? That's impossible. And Eleanor is the new owner?
00:58:21No. No. This is some mistake. There is no way that street rat owns this place. It's a scam. A trick.
00:58:35Well, Levine, looks like I own the shop now. You're no longer welcome here, so leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:58:43What? You bitch. You can't do this. You have any idea.
00:58:49Say one more word and I'll have your name erased from the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:58:54Do you want to try me?
00:58:58No. Guards, remove them.
00:59:10Daniel, could she really be Leading Thunder?
00:59:14Absolutely not. I've known her for years. There'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? That nanny work she did in Africa, that's where she met Lady Thunder, who just so happens to also run a charity there.
00:59:32So you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
00:59:37Exactly. She's nothing but a side piece with great timing.
00:59:43But tonight, I'll expose her. Tonight, her little luck ends.
00:59:49Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me the real Lady Thunder.
00:59:59I can't tell Sebastian everything. Not yet. Not until the gala.
01:00:05Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.
01:00:08You met Lady Thunder?
01:00:09Yes. She visited one of the shelters. We spoke, so I reached out to her just now and asked for help.
01:00:19Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:00:22Look, I'm sorry.
01:00:24This is great. I mean, if Lady Thunder's on your side, there is no way Sylvia's gonna lay a hand on you tonight.
01:00:32Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
01:00:34Of course not. You're my wife. And you stood behind me when everything fell apart.
01:00:43Tonight, I'm gonna do everything it takes to protect you. It's my only job now.
01:00:47That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
01:00:50But tonight, after the gala, it's official. Public. That doesn't scare you?
01:01:11I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:20I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:26Winston, congratulations.
01:01:28Everyone knows your grandmother suspended Sebastian from his position,
01:01:31and that makes you next in line for CEO.
01:01:35Well, let's be honest. Sebastian has never been CEO material.
01:01:41My grandmother saw that.
01:01:43And so did the board.
01:01:44You've got the support of the Caldwell family, and their ties to the circle aren't small.
01:01:48And tonight, Lady Thunder will be announcing who's next in line for the billion-dollar investment.
01:01:55And you, Whitmore's golden boy, look like you've got it locked in.
01:02:13You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:18This is the Thunder Circle Return Gallo.
01:02:23As a member of Whitmore, I have every right to be here.
01:02:26Well, you should be at Sylvia's Suite, not parading around here like you still belong at the top.
01:02:31And you, since when did gutter trash just show up?
01:02:36Eleanor's my wife. You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:02:39Your wife? Did you just sing that out loud?
01:02:42Everyone, gather round. I have a little joke to tell you.
01:02:49Now this man, my brother, used to be the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
01:02:55Well, he could have married Sylvia and joined the powerful Caldwell family, but instead he married her.
01:03:01A gold digger. Now, isn't that hilarious?
01:03:09It's true, Sebastian used to be a force. And 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.
01:03:20You hear that, Sebastian? Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:03:28You shut your mouth or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
01:03:33But you should be crawling back to Sylvia for scraps.
01:03:36And you, this poor excuse for a wife. 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. I'm your brother!
01:04:07You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone, huh?
01:04:11Sebastian, let him go.
01:04:15I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:04:18Isn't she just a nobody? 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 blood.
01:04:32I... That'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.
01:04:41He does not, but I do!
01:04:49You don't have the authority to exile me from the Whitmore family.
01:04:52You don't have the authority to exile me from the Whitmore family.
01:04:54Grandma.
01:04:56Sebastian.
01:04:59I'm going to ask you this for the last time.
01:05:02Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:05No, Grandmother. I never loved her.
01:05:08I didn't ask you if you loved her. I asked, will you marry her?
01:05:14No.
01:05:14I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:05:17You're...
01:05:19You'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?
01:05:30Of course I do!
01:05:33And what are you trying to say?
01:05:35The Caldwells say merge, but you and I both really know what they want.
01:05:39They want our assets, our name, and when they're done sucking us dry,
01:05:43Wilmore 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.
01:05:54Looks like I picked the right man.
01:05:56Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:05:58Sylvia promised.
01:06:00And if Sebastian agrees,
01:06:02the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:06You're sure?
01:06:07Absolutely.
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.
01:06:22We cannot afford to offend the Caldwells now.
01:06:26Do you hear that?
01:06:27Do you see what we have at stake?
01:06:30What are you laughing at?
01:06:33All of this.
01:06:33You're ready to sell Sebastian off for a shot at winning Sylvia's attention.
01:06:40And you call that a strategy?
01:06:43Sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:06:45What do you mean?
01:06:45What I mean is if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle, you don't need the Caldwells.
01:06:53You need me.
01:06:53What 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.
01:07:04The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:07:07How does someone like her say something like that?
01:07:09You're all looking down on me because you don't know who I really am.
01:07:12But when you find out, you'll all be kneeling.
01:07:16Prove 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,
01:07:36Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Ravine Caldwell boutique.
01:07:42Sebastian, is this true?
01:07:45The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder.
01:07:47Eleanor 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.
01:07:57All of it was to gain the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:08:00Exactly.
01:08:02No wonder she seduced Sebastian, turned him against his own family.
01:08:05She has made a career out of clinging into powerful people.
01:08:09She's dangerous.
01:08:12A conniving parasite.
01:08:15You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family.
01:08:19And now you're trying to drag us down with you?
01:08:23You ruined the alliance.
01:08:25And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:08:29We should make her crawl and beg for forgiveness.
01:08:33The ones who've been trying to crush you are the Caldwells.
01:08:36They should beg for forgiveness.
01:08:38You arrogant lunatic.
01:08:41Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?
01:08:43I'm just stating the facts.
01:08:48Facts, huh?
01:08:55That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:08:56Things are about to get ugly.
01:08:58Eleanor's finished.
01:08:59Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out.
01:09:03Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:05Yes.
01:09:06My son.
01:09:07You could do worse than marrying her.
01:09:09Mother.
01:09:10All right, all right.
01:09:12You were made for Lady Thunder.
01:09:14That's the one you deserve.
01:09:16Sylvia.
01:09:18Thank God you're here.
01:09:19Seriously, Winston?
01:09:21One girl, when you crumble,
01:09:23pathetic.
01:09:24Move.
01:09:29So, how do I?
01:09:31First you steal her.
01:09:34Then you get our stores.
01:09:36And fire my brother.
01:09:37Tell me, are you fearless or just an idiot?
01:09:41Why do I have to choose either?
01:09:43Are you that rattled?
01:09:46Good.
01:09:47Let's see how brave you are.
01:09:49Sylvia, don't.
01:09:53Sebastian, you're my fiance and you're defending her?
01:09:56I never even married.
01:09:58I came here tonight to talk.
01:10:00To build something better.
01:10:01Better?
01:10:03You call destroying our family legacy better?
01:10:10Fine.
01:10:11You want something better?
01:10:15Neil.
01:10:17Both of you and beg me for it.
01:10:22That's enough.
01:10:23Enough.
01:10:25I've only gotten started.
01:10:26By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist.
01:10:31Miss Caldwell, you can't do this.
01:10:33You promised to back our rise into the thundership home.
01:10:36You promised Sebastian would marry you.
01:10:39Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:41Do you hear?
01:10:42Neil, marry her.
01:10:44Don't drag this family down with you.
01:10:46You're trying to doom us all, you ungrateful bastard.
01:10:51What's the matter with you two, Sebastian?
01:10:53Too proud to kneel?
01:10:56Looks like you're the one who should be kneeling.
01:10:59Oh my god.
01:11:10She's insane.
01:11:11She's totally insane.
01:11:15Sylvia, are you hurt?
01:11:20Do I look fine to you, idiot?
01:11:21You 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.
01:11:35This woman desecrated the Thunder Circle Gala.
01:11:43It's not only an insult to me.
01:11:45It's treason against Lady Thunder herself.
01:11:48She will be eliminated.
01:11:51And anyone who stands with her becomes my enemy.
01:11:56This is it.
01:11:57If I stand with Sylvia now, I'll win her and Lady Thunder's favor.
01:12:01Sylvia's right.
01:12:03Eleanor defied Lady Thunder.
01:12:06She deserves to be punished.
01:12:08I second that.
01:12:09She's a disgrace.
01:12:11She defies everything we stand for.
01:12:13We must punish her.
01:12:14No, you got it all wrong.
01:12:26Everyone saw what she did.
01:12:28You're really going to defend her?
01:12:30Did you hear that, Eleanor?
01:12:31Game over.
01:12:34You breathe because I allow it.
01:12:36When I say you're finished.
01:12:38Don't you dare.
01:12:39If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:12:41Shut up, Sebastian.
01:12:43Everyone here wants her gone.
01:12:45You'd risk your entire family for a woman like her.
01:12:48You want to ruin yourself?
01:12:50Fine.
01:12:50But don't drag the Whitmores down with you.
01:12:53This is what happens when you defy the Caldwells.
01:12:56So, Eleanor, how do you want to die?
01:12:58Impressive, Sylvia.
01:12:59You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:02But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:13:04All of you?
01:13:05You're just insects in my eyes.
01:13:07Still mouthing off?
01:13:09I'll send you straight to hell.
01:13:13And who it's after you're planning on sending to hell?
01:13:24General Varelli and Prince Amir?
01:13:26What are they doing here?
01:13:27This is the Thunder Circle's return gala.
01:13:29Big names were expected.
01:13:32Too bad for her.
01:13:33She's even more screwed now.
01:13:36What are you doing here, Pirelli?
01:13:38We were just about to take out the trash.
01:13:41So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle justice,
01:13:44I suggest you let us finish.
01:13:47Sylvia Caldwell, who exalts me who you're planning to kill?
01:13:53Her.
01:13:53She attacked me in public.
01:13:57She disrupted the gallop.
01:14:00Look, I know we've had our differences.
01:14:02But don't tell me you're here to steal my credit to impress Lady Thunder.
01:14:06Still credit?
01:14:09You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:14:11One more word out of you.
01:14:14And the Call of the Name is history.
01:14:15You're serious?
01:14:17Deadly.
01:14:18You touch her again, and your entire empire burns to the ground.
01:14:22Because the woman you just threatened is Lady Thunder herself.
01:14:27Lady Thunder!
01:14:29Lady Thunder!
01:14:35What?
01:14:35Lady Thunder, don't be ridiculous.
01:14:38She's just a gold digger, for God's sake.
01:14:42Exactly!
01:14:43She's a broke hooker.
01:14:46This is just another bluff.
01:14:47She's pulling the same stunts, okay?
01:14:50She already used Lady Thunder to crush the Caldwell stores,
01:14:54and now she's doing the same thing, sabotaging our alliance.
01:14:58She's a fraud!
01:14:59You all must be delusional.
01:15:01Fine!
01:15:02If you want to stand with a liar, you're all as good as dead.
01:15:06Now I understand just how bold your entire family has become.
01:15:10Do you really think that Morelli, Amir, and the entire Thunder Circle
01:15:14couldn't erase your family over her?
01:15:16The real Lady Thunder could.
01:15:19But tonight, she's gonna destroy you and all your fake pretenders.
01:15:28Weapons up!
01:15:32Lay a finger on her, and I promise you,
01:15:35none of you will be alive to regret this.
01:15:37You won't want to defend a liar!
01:15:42Stand down!
01:15:46Stand down!
01:15:48That's Adam Lee, Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:15:50He only arrives when she commands it.
01:15:53What is happening?
01:15:56Mr. Lee, finally.
01:15:59Your Lady Thunder's assistant, tell them this woman is lying.
01:16:03Tell them she's not Lady Thunder!
01:16:05Right!
01:16:06She's just my ex.
01:16:07How could she be anything?
01:16:09Lady Thunder manages portfolios worth billions.
01:16:12She babysits Orphan.
01:16:15Shut up!
01:16:17For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity in Africa.
01:16:21While you were polishing your shoes, she was saving children.
01:16:27Can't be!
01:16:28No, no, no.
01:16:31If that's true, then let her prove it.
01:16:35Lady Thunder is to confirm this circle's billion-dollar investment.
01:16:40And the system's only locked with one thing.
01:16:42Her fingerprints.
01:16:45If she is who she says she is, let her unlock her.
01:16:49Yeah, let her prove it!
01:16:51She can't!
01:16:52It's all just empty words!
01:16:54Go ahead, Eleanor.
01:16:56Prove you're the Lady Thunder.
01:16:59Unlock the funds right here, right now!
01:17:04Eleanor, are you sure you can confirm this?
01:17:08Yes, Sebastian.
01:17:11It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:12It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:32Highest level authorization.
01:17:34Verified, Eleanor Thunder.
01:17:36Type, CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:17:39One hundred billion funds activated.
01:17:43My God!
01:17:48My God!
01:17:50She is Lady Thunder!
01:17:52CEO of the Thunder Circle!
01:17:54She's investing a hundred billion dollars in the Sebastian?
01:17:57What?
01:17:58No, this isn't happening.
01:17:59Now you all know who I really am.
01:18:02She really opened it!
01:18:04Eleanor is Lady Thunder!
01:18:08Lady Thunder!
01:18:09Lady Thunder!
01:18:11You are-
01:18:11What now, Sylvia?
01:18:14What else do you have to say?
01:18:15Sylvia?
01:18:31Sylvia!
01:18:33This is her.
01:18:34Your call will be even started.
01:18:38My father will kill me.
01:18:40Take them out.
01:18:42We'll deal with them later.
01:18:55So, Eleanor.
01:18:57It's true.
01:18:59You're the Lady Thunder.
01:19:02The CEO of the Thunder Group, and the most powerful woman in the world.
01:19:11Does this even matter anymore?
01:19:14Of course it matters.
01:19:16I would have never broken up with you if I had known things could have been different.
01:19:22Could they have been, Daniel?
01:19:26If I had told you that I was Lady Thunder, would you have believed me?
01:19:29That I was the one who funded you?
01:19:31That I was the one who recommended you for Whitmore Group?
01:19:35We were together for seven years, and you never believed in me.
01:19:42No, that's- that's- that's not true.
01:19:45All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:19:50I didn't mean anything to you.
01:19:52I- this- this- this- I- I- I don't- I don't-
01:19:57You made your choice, Daniel.
01:19:59So every benefit that I gave you, every contact, every dollar, I'm taking it all back.
01:20:05Eleanor, please! We've known each other for years!
01:20:15You've always been like a daughter to me!
01:20:18Whatever misunderstandings are between us, we can fix-
01:20:22Your daughter?
01:20:24Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:20:27Not good enough for your son?
01:20:28It was before! I didn't know! I was stupid and blind! You- you're perfect, Eleanor!
01:20:38So now that I'm Lady Thunder, I'm good enough for your son.
01:20:43You know, ever since I got back from Africa, this has been done.
01:20:48You and Daniel, you're not part of my life anymore.
01:20:53No! Please, no! We were together for so long, Eleanor. Please! Please forgive me.
01:21:01I wanted a fast track to power. Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:21:17Eleanor!
01:21:18Let's go!
01:21:20Lady Thunder, you and my grandson make a perfect pair, so congratulations!
01:21:29Yes, congratulations to you both!
01:21:33Where's Sebastian? That's interesting. Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:21:42Well, no! That was a mistake!
01:21:45Uh, he's always part of my family. He will always be my grandson!
01:21:50I did warn you all, I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:21:57Grandma, I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.
01:22:04It's time I've made something that's truly mine, and not in the family's shadow.
01:22:09But Sebastian, you-
01:22:10I think you should be grateful that he's still calling you Grandfather.
01:22:18Don't push your luck, madam.
01:22:23You're right.
01:22:24I will accept whatever choice you make, and respect him.
01:22:43Eleanor.
01:22:45As you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore.
01:22:48I'm a man starting over.
01:22:54But if you'll have me, I'd like to start it with you.
01:23:01Will you stay by my side, and marry me?
01:23:07Of course I will.
01:23:09And this time, as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:23:14Who wants you?
01:23:22I'm sorry, I can't be the ones holding you.
01:23:26When the words are on my shoulder.
01:23:29Who wants you?
01:23:38Do you have any other time?
