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.
00:09:18Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitmore means?
00:09:21Wow.
00:09:22You are even more idiotic than I thought.
00:09:23You just insulted the man who was herself.
00:09:24You had to let her out.
00:09:25He was a good start as a badger.
00:09:26He was on the other side.
00:09:27He was on the other side.
00:09:28He was Panini.
00:09:29You had to leave that guard.
00:09:30The man who wanted to leave that corner.
00:09:32Go ahead.
00:09:33Call the guards.
00:09:34But just know that I walked in here because I have every right to be here.
00:09:37And no one has the right to push me out.
00:09:39Not even Sebastian.
00:09:41Faster.
00:09:42I don't care what it takes.
00:09:43Get me to her now.
00:09:44Yes, sir.
00:09:45And I thought, you just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:09:49Even my father wouldn't dare to challenge him, but you?
00:09:53You are so dead.
00:09:55In your world, Sebastian may be untouchable, but in mine, he's just a man.
00:10:00If 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.
00:10:11Eleanor, forget it, you'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, but after this, I don't even think you're worth that.
00:10:30You were going to recommend me for a janitor position?
00:10:33Do you know how competitive it is to work here?
00:10:36Even our security guards have degrees, and you? Never finished yours.
00:10:42So 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.
00:10:54I don't need your recommendation.
00:10:57And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me or not, why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:11:10Where is she?
00:11:14Where is she?
00:11:15Off this hall.
00:11:16It's tents.
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 fiancƩe.
00:11:29What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:11:31Seriously?
00:11:32You're trying to crash and burn in public?
00:11:34I'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?
00:11:44Don't worry, Daniel.
00:11:46I've got you.
00:11:48Remember, Margaret's father is vice chair.
00:11:53With their support, whatever stunt you're pulling ends.
00:11:57Trust me.
00:11:58When Mr. Whitmore gets here, she'll have maybe five minutes left.
00:12:02I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:12:06Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:12:11Was it?
00:12:13Because when the trip comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:17Mr. Whitmore is arriving.
00:12:18Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:12:19He's in the lobby.
00:12:20Wait, he actually came?
00:12:21Oh my god.
00:12:22He's here for Daniel.
00:12:23You hear that everyone?
00:12:24Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:12:27This is it.
00:12:29No one can touch us now.
00:12:32You hear that sweetheart?
00:12:33Whitmore doesn't take in strays.
00:12:34Get out.
00:12:35While you still have legs to walk out on.
00:12:36This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:12:39Half a million dollars.
00:12:40Half a million?
00:12:41For her?
00:12:42Half a million?
00:12:43Half a million?
00:12:44For her?
00:12:45It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:12:47Take the money, Eleanor.
00:12:48Disappear.
00:12:49This is ten times more.
00:12:50This is ten times more.
00:12:51This is ten times more.
00:12:52This is ten times more.
00:12:53This is ten times more.
00:12:54This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:12:55This is your last offer, Eleanor.
00:12:58Half a million dollars.
00:12:59Half a million?
00:13:00For her?
00:13:01It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:13:02Take the money, Eleanor.
00:13:03Disappear.
00:13:04This is ten times more than you'll ever see in your life.
00:13:23Be smart.
00:13:25Take it and vanish.
00:13:30You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:13:41But when you realize the truth about who I really am...
00:13:56You'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:14:00Shit!
00:14:01What the hell?
00:14:03You dare humiliate me?
00:14:06So you're someone now, huh?
00:14:09Someone who's gonna change things?
00:14:12Then go ahead.
00:14:14Make 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.
00:14:23This low status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes in here.
00:14:29She's my wife.
00:14:30Is that high status enough for you?
00:14:32Mr. Rick Moore?
00:14:34I did this to you?
00:14:35It's fine.
00:14:36Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:14:37It's fine.
00:14:38Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:14:41I don't recall accepting that little proposal.
00:14:42It's fine.
00:14:43Just a couple flies buzzing around.
00:14:48I don't recall accepting that little proposal of yours on the plane.
00:14:49I meant what I said.
00:14:50Now let me take out the trash.
00:14:51And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:14:52Did you not hear me the first time?
00:14:53I meant what I said.
00:14:54I meant what I said.
00:14:55Now let me take out the trash.
00:14:59And who the hell are you storming in here?
00:15:00Did you not hear me the first time?
00:15:01I'm her husband.
00:15:06This woman here?
00:15:07She's my wife.
00:15:08Wait what?
00:15:09Mr. Whitmoor married?
00:15:10But he's never.
00:15:11He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:12I'm never kidding.
00:15:13I'm never kidding.
00:15:14I'm never kidding.
00:15:15I'm never good.
00:15:16He's never been a bad idea.
00:15:17I didn't see you.
00:15:18I've never knew exactly what you're saying.
00:15:19I'm going to take a lot of us.
00:15:21I'm not going to take a lot of you.
00:15:22I don't recall accepting that little proposal of yours on the plane.
00:15:25I meant what I said.
00:15:26Now let me take out the trash.
00:15:29Wait, what? Mr. Whitmore married?
00:15:32But he's never. He's always kept his distance from women.
00:15:35Oh, God. I'm dead. I'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? To sleep 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?
00:15:59Playing me while you're sleeping with another man?
00:16:02Don't twist it. You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:16:06She's right. You don't even realize what you've thrown away.
00:16:11Eleanor's a brilliant woman.
00:16:12You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:16:15So you're saying that my son does not deserve this hooker?
00:16:19He has a PhD. He 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, she hired you, right?
00:16:33Hired the pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride, right?
00:16:38So would you say she hired an actor?
00:16:41Look at him.
00:16:42Designer suit.
00:16:43Sexy look.
00:16:45Total escort vibes.
00:16:49Exactly.
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 a gigolo.
00:17:03I'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.
00:17:18Okay, you're not seem to understand.
00:17:19Relax, Uncle Thomas.
00:17:21This 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?
00:17:36I mean, it just screams.
00:17:38Pathetic.
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.
00:17:48Why are you 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.
00:18:07So you think this is pretend?
00:18:11Still clinging to the drama.
00:18:18No offense, pretty boy, but if she can afford you, so can I.
00:18:24What's the rate?
00:18:26Whatever she's giving you, I'll give you ten times the amount if you strip for the room.
00:18:32Oh, God, no, no.
00:18:37They're dead.
00:18:38They are also dead.
00:18:40Say that again.
00:18:42You heard him.
00:18:43Ten times your rate.
00:18:46Ooh, and let Uncle Thomas have a peek.
00:18:48I don't think he's seen a male stripper before.
00:18:50No, no, no.
00:18:52I want no part of this.
00:18:54Oh, come on.
00:18:55Don't be shy.
00:18:56Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:18:58So, you're going to give us a twirl, pretty boy?
00:19:04Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just crossed.
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.
00:19:27You 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.
00:20:05Is 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.
00:20:14My father is vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:20:20Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:20:23And you two?
00:20:24You just rushed your future back to her.
00:20:26Are 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, do you 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.
00:21:13And you actually dare to park your jumpy ass there?
00:21:18Funny.
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?
00:21:27Fine.
00:21:28I'll give you one more chance.
00:21:30You can crawl out of that seat like a little dog in bed with Eleanor.
00:21:35Maybe I'll consider not ruining your life.
00:21:40Egg?
00:21:41You?
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.
00:21:57How romantic.
00:21:58You're playing with fire.
00:22:00No, sweetheart.
00:22:01I am the fire.
00:22:03Now, 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.
00:22:18Get off of me!
00:22:21She hit me!
00:22:22You think I'm gonna let that slide?
00:22:24I understand.
00:22:25I do not care if she is the queen of England.
00:22:27I am hitting that bitch.
00:22:29Margaret, you should apologize.
00:22:32You 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?
00:22:51Yes, 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.
00:23:07I'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 gonna do to me.
00:23:20Dad, I'm down on the meeting floor, and some bitch just hit me.
00:23:24Can you get down here now?
00:23:26Please?
00:23:30He's on his way.
00:23:32And when he gets here, you'll both be done.
00:23:37Oh, Eleanor.
00:23:39Mr. West, Margaret's father, second only to Sebastian and 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.
00:24:02Still bluffing?
00:24:04I can't wait to see how hard you cry when James West walks in.
00:24:08Who the hell is hitting my daughter in my building?
00:24:16Dad, thank God you're here.
00:24:30This was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:24:33What the hell's going on?
00:24:34It'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?
00:24:46Did you 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, completely out of line.
00:25:01Mr. West, actually, there's something you should know.
00:25:04Shut up, you fool!
00:25:05You 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?
00:25:35That'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!
00:25:47Mr. 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.
00:25:57Relax.
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 chair too scared to turn around.
00:26:37Hey!
00:26:37You!
00:26:38Get your ass out of that chair right now before this gets ugly.
00:26:44All right, that's enough.
00:26:46Someone go turn that damn chair around so I can see this cloud's face!
00:26:50With pleasure.
00:26:51With pleasure.
00:26:55With 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 somebody I would trust.
00:27:10My father is the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:27:14No one outranks him except for Sebastian.
00:27:17And you actually think that we should be afraid of your little cowboy here?
00:27:21You think we're supposed to be scared of a guy you picked up in a nightclub?
00:27:26Please.
00:27:27These two are running this like some sort of drama box show, but everybody knows trash is trash.
00:27:35Maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain, Eleanor.
00:27:39You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to offend.
00:27:44Really?
00:27:45And why is that?
00:27:46Because you're a nobody.
00:27:48Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:27:52You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:27:55But 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?
00:28:02You have truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.
00:28:06Well, this is me.
00:28:07I don't think I've ever had a kid tell me I was done for.
00:28:09You got guts.
00:28:10I'll give you that.
00:28:11But guts aren't going to help you if you piss me off.
00:28:12Now, let me tell you what happens when your little husband tries to con his way into the
00:28:13Wickmore group.
00:28:14Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:15But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:16Maybe we should just throw them out of the country for good.
00:28:18Yes.
00:28:19That's what I plan to do.
00:28:20You.
00:28:21Turn that damn chair around and take it off.
00:28:22And take it off.
00:28:23Now, let me tell you what happens when your little husband tries to con his way into the
00:28:27Wickmore group.
00:28:28Oh, this is exciting.
00:28:29But do you think breaking their legs is enough?
00:28:30Maybe we should just throw them out of the country for good.
00:28:31Yes.
00:28:32That's what I plan to do.
00:28:33You.
00:28:34Turn that damn chair around right now.
00:28:36Or I'm going to do it myself.
00:28:37No, Mr. Weiss.
00:28:38Please.
00:28:39You can't.
00:28:40Why the hell not?
00:28:41They deserve it.
00:28:42The only thing I can't understand is why everyone is acting so good.
00:28:44I'm not sure.
00:28:45I'm not sure.
00:28:46I'm not sure.
00:28:47I'm not sure.
00:28:48I'm not sure.
00:28:49I'm not sure.
00:28:50I'm not sure.
00:28:51I'm not sure.
00:28:52I'm not sure.
00:28:53I'm not sure.
00:28:54I'm not sure.
00:28:55I'm not sure.
00:28:56I'm not sure.
00:28:57I'm sure.
00:28:58I'm not sure.
00:28:59You know, they actually told me to apologize.
00:29:00Apologize?
00:29:01To them?
00:29:02Well, since you're all so desperate to meet them.
00:29:15Sebastian?
00:29:16Mind saying hello?
00:29:18I suppose we shouldn't keep them waiting.
00:29:20That voice sounds so familiar.
00:29:23No, it can't be.
00:29:25Stop pretending.
00:29:26Turn that chair around!
00:29:28Is that supposed to scare me?
00:29:47I turned the chair, so now what?
00:29:49No.
00:29:50No way.
00:29:51You wanted to see me?
00:29:52James West?
00:29:53Mr. Whitmore!
00:29:54Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:29:55He'll be here any minute.
00:29:56And when he gets here, you two are dead.
00:29:57This is your last chance, Eleanor.
00:29:58Before Mr. Whitmore gets here, beg.
00:30:00You might just walk out of here.
00:30:01I won't beg anyone.
00:30:02But you?
00:30:03You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:06Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:07Don't waste your breath on them.
00:30:08If they want to burn, let them.
00:30:09You see that, Eleanor?
00:30:10The fantasy is dead.
00:30:11Now that my dad's here, he'll kill you both.
00:30:12Get out of that chair, call boy, before you lose that precious ass that earns you a
00:30:15wish.
00:30:16I won't beg anyone. But you? You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:30:24Don'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.
00:30:46Dad, 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. You see my dad's hands? They're shaking. They only do that when he's really pissed.
00:31:07And the more they shake, the angrier he is.
00:31:10Consider, perhaps, he's not shaking from anger.
00:31:14Please. 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? Pathetic. 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.
00:31:46Yes, I'll deal with them.
00:31:52I'm dealing with you!
00:31:54Dad!
00:32:05You fool! Do you not know what you've done?
00:32:09Me? They're the ones causing all this trouble!
00:32:13Dad!
00:32:14Shut it!
00:32:17And apologize to them right now!
00:32:19Apologize to them?
00:32:21Mr. West, if they assaulted your daughter, why would we apologize to them?
00:32:25You brainless idiots! Do you not know who that is?
00:32:35You 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!
00:32:50What are you doing?! This is my son's celebration!
00:33:07There's no celebration! Not without that guy!
00:33:12Because that is Sebastian, the CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:21I apologize for my... idiot kid!
00:33:25Please, sir, forgive us!
00:33:28Mr. Whitmore!
00:33:29Mr. Whitmore! Please forgive us!
00:33:30Mr. Whitmore! Please forgive us!
00:33:39Is that family's attached to Whitmore?
00:33:41I don't know!
00:33:43Eleanor said she was married to that guy that... that man...
00:33:47Sebastian...
00:33:48No!
00:33:49No!
00:33:50No!
00:33:51No!
00:33:52No!
00:33:53No!
00:33:54He's... he's not Sebastian!
00:33:55That 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!
00:34:02You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:03You have ruined the West's name!
00:34:06Now get our roomies and beg him for forgiveness!
00:34:11So that really is Sebastian?
00:34:12Mr. Whitmore! I am so sorry!
00:34:16Please forgive me!
00:34:17I didn't know who you were!
00:34:18Please don't ruin us!
00:34:19You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman!
00:34:20But this isn't over!
00:34:21James, is this the heir you've raised?
00:34:22Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is!
00:34:23No, sir!
00:34:24I am sorry!
00:34:25My daughter is young!
00:34:26She's stupid!
00:34:27And she does not represent me!
00:34:28You're right!
00:34:29She doesn't!
00:34:30But you do!
00:34:31And that's the problem!
00:34:32You're fired!
00:34:33And that's the problem!
00:34:34You're fired!
00:34:35No!
00:34:36Please, sir!
00:34:37Don't!
00:34:38So now I get it, Eleanor!
00:34:39That's why you had no fear!
00:34:40Because you had Whitmore beside you the whole time!
00:34:42You must really hurt!
00:34:43I'm sorry!
00:34:44I'm sorry!
00:34:45I'm sorry!
00:34:46My daughter is young!
00:34:47She's stupid!
00:34:48And she does not represent me!
00:34:49You're right!
00:34:50She doesn't!
00:34:51But you do!
00:34:52And that's the problem!
00:34:53You're fired!
00:34:54No!
00:34:55Please, sir!
00:34:56Don't!
00:34:57So 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!
00:35:03You must really think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:35:10No!
00:35:11You've got it wrong!
00:35:12I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian!
00:35:15I'm untouchable because I always was!
00:35:18Seven years, Daniel!
00:35:21And you never once asked who I was!
00:35:24You were so eager to leave!
00:35:26You never stopped to see who you were leaving!
00:35:29I, Dr. Prescott, we fast-tracked you for talent!
00:35:32Yes, your academic record is impressive!
00:35:34But here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity!
00:35:37And you failed that test!
00:35:39Your offer is dead!
00:35:41What?
00:35:42Wait!
00:35:43Mr. Whitmore, please!
00:35:44My son has been working his entire life for this place!
00:35:47I'll throw him out!
00:35:48My decision is final!
00:35:50No amount of begging is going to change it!
00:35:52And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Prescott!
00:35:54I...
00:35:55I...
00:35:56I...
00:35:57I...
00:35:58Sebastian Whitmore!
00:36:06You have gone too far!
00:36:09Madam Whitmore!
00:36:11Madam Whitmore!
00:36:12Grandma!
00:36:13Don't you dare call me that!
00:36:20The way you have defied this family!
00:36:26You've really outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:36:29Grandma told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell, and what do you do?
00:36:32Huh?
00:36:33Ghost us?
00:36:34And then strut back in here and try to fire people?
00:36:37About the engagement...
00:36:38I'm...
00:36:39You forgot who runs this place!
00:36:41You might have the CEO title, but Grandma!
00:36:44Built for the Whitmore group from the ground up!
00:36:47And as far as Dr. Prescott and Mr. West, you don't have the authority to fire them!
00:36:54Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:36:56They were getting fired!
00:36:58But who is that guy?
00:36:59Why is he talking back to Sebastian Whitmore?
00:37:01That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:04Word is...
00:37:06Through families at war...
00:37:08Grandma prefers Winston.
00:37:12Don't overstep, Winston.
00:37:13I'm still the acting CEO.
00:37:15Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:17If Grandma doesn't say otherwise...
00:37:19Little brother.
00:37:21Sebastian.
00:37:23James has given decades to this company.
00:37:26And his termination is not happening.
00:37:29Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:37:31I appreciate you standing up for me.
00:37:33And as for him...
00:37:37He stays.
00:37:41You do not have the authority to touch him.
00:37:43Grandma, he...
00:37:44Thunder Circle funds all of the top scholars of the world.
00:37:48And their chairwoman, Lady Thunder, arrives tomorrow.
00:37:52We must garner her favor.
00:37:57And Dr. Prescott?
00:37:59He is just the golden boy that she is looking for.
00:38:04So...
00:38:05He...
00:38:06Stays...
00:38:07For Whitmore.
00:38:08You got that?
00:38:09Yes.
00:38:10Now...
00:38:11Let's focus on what matters.
00:38:12Your marriage to Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:13That marriage will lock us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:15Grandma, I'm not marrying Sylvia.
00:38:16I'm already...
00:38:17I'm marrying Sylvia.
00:38:18I have made my decision, and it will not change!
00:38:23No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:38:27He helped me once.
00:38:28I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:38:30Glidey Thunder Circle
00:38:52Glidey Thunder, Whitmore's proposal has been approved.
00:38:53We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:38:55Glidey Thunder, we are your first official US partners.
00:38:56Perfect!
00:38:57Perfect. Make sure it's loud.
00:39:03I'm going to give my husband a surprise.
00:39:11Sebastian, I know you're upset,
00:39:14but your marriage to Sylvia connects us to the Klaurop family
00:39:18and to the Thunder Circle.
00:39:21That is the future.
00:39:22Would you rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:27I believe in building things myself, not chasing shortcuts.
00:39:31Shortcuts? It's called strategy.
00:39:35If the road to power is already paved, why waste time laying bricks?
00:39:42And I disagree, Madam.
00:39:45That's not strategy, that's fear.
00:39:47You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:39:50What the hell is she doing?
00:39:52Oh God, it's her again.
00:39:54Doesn't she ever get tired of humiliating herself?
00:39:57Who let the trash in?
00:39:59Someone needs to take her back out to the curb.
00:40:01Who is she?
00:40:02Madam Whitmore, this is Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:06She stalked me here and then latched onto Sebastian,
00:40:10pretending 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.
00:40:17Do you see that? He's panicking.
00:40:19You see that?
00:40:20Madam?
00:40:22Those two are lying to your face.
00:40:25That girl Eleanor, she just latched onto Sebastian to get herself out of trouble.
00:40:30That's just part of their scheme.
00:40:32Sebastian is using this little act to get out of his engagement with Sylvia.
00:40:37Yes, Sebastian and I started out as pretenders, but we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:43And what are you playing at?
00:40:47Sebastian Whitmore.
00:40:57For real?
00:41:00Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
00:41:02Are you out of your mind? You're doubling down on this circus.
00:41:09It's hilarious that you actually think he is going to marry you.
00:41:15So 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.
00:41:28Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:29Of course. You proposed to me, I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:34What's the matter, Sebastian? Are you scared?
00:41:36Oh, when I proposed to you, I had everything and you turned me down.
00:41:41But now that I'm suddenly in trouble, it's a yes.
00:41:43Exactly. I'm not saying yes to your title and fortune. I'm saying yes to you.
00:41:50Just as you are.
00:41:56Then, Eleanor.
00:41:59I say yes to you.
00:42:02I will marry you.
00:42:06There.
00:42:08Where's my wife now?
00:42:10Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:11Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:25So what? You think by marrying some random girl, you now have a fight against your family?
00:42:31I see now. My word means nothing to you anymore.
00:42:36So let me make this clear. I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:42:47Grandma, you can't be serious. I'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 theft.
00:43:01And this is only the beginning. Tomorrow's gala will honor Lady Thunder. And the family received invite-only tickets from Sylvia, who you betrayed.
00:43:10And you will attend. And you will pacify Sylvia. Because it's your last chance. And 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. But 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. I already received a confirmation from the Thunder Circle. The deal's done.
00:43:48Confirmation?
00:43:49Talk is cheap. Unless 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 fiancƩ?
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? You're invited to a gala that only invites a billionaire.
00:44:29That's right. Your recommendation comes directly from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:34What? Comes from where?
00:44:37Is that true? The Thunder Circle wrote my son a letter?
00:44:41According to Sylvia, Lady Thunder has a soft spot for Polish scholars. Tomorrow's your chance.
00:44:48You play your cards right, she might take a liking to you.
00:44:52Thank you, Mr. Whitmore. I will go.
00:44:55Good. Then it's settled.
00:44:58The Thunder Circle gave their word. They wouldn't back out.
00:45:06Parker, would you please go check on that for me?
00:45:07Yes, sir.
00:45:10Hey. Relax. I said they'd invest in you, they slow both.
00:45:15Really? A back room's nobody like you thinks they could land capital at the Thunder Circle?
00:45:22We'll see who's laughing tomorrow. And just to be clear, the Thunder Circle will never change.
00:45:33You think someone like you matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:45:37You are not invited, but we are.
00:45:40You'll see whether I matter tomorrow.
00:45:42Tomorrow? You stole Sylvia Caldwell's husband. Be 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?
00:46:01Of course. You're cleaning Sebastian like he's your lifeline.
00:46:05But not even he can support you now.
00:46:08Forget it, Mom. Talking to her is a waste of time.
00:46:11If I do end up impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow, maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:17Keep you alive.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:29I hope tomorrow, when you all realize I'm the CEO of the Circle, you still feel this high.
00:46:35Hey, don't listen to them.
00:46:41I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe tomorrow.
00:46:44Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:46:47I've got this.
00:46:48Tomorrow at the gala, everything will be handled.
00:46:51Yes, ma'am. I get it. You're the dangerous one.
00:46:56But the Thunder Circle, the Caldwell family, they're a lot to handle.
00:47:00So what?
00:47:02So, tomorrow I'll sign the deal. I'll secure everything.
00:47:06Because keeping you safe is my job now.
00:47:08Wow, what a hero.
00:47:10Now, what happened to that cocky CEO who was begging me to marry him on the plane?
00:47:16Oh, come on. That was so embarrassing.
00:47:18That guy on the plane, he's dead now. He no longer exists, all right?
00:47:21All right. So, my wife, shall we move to the next step?
00:47:27Let's get married.
00:47:30Hey, Thunder.
00:47:50How are the preparations for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:53Everything is ready.
00:47:54The meeting is locked, and the billion dollar contract for Whitmore has been fireworks.
00:47:58Good.
00:48:00Just remember, this isn't for the Whitmore family. This is for Sebastian.
00:48:04So make sure all the funds fall into his hands only.
00:48:08Understood.
00:48:09Also, two of our allies are requesting a meeting.
00:48:13One is Prince Amir of the Diamond Magnate, and the other is General Haredi.
00:48:17They're outside. Should I let them in?
00:48:19Bring them in.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:25Lady Thunder.
00:48:27Lady Thunder.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:33So, how have you been?
00:48:35Your business is good?
00:48:37Yes, Lady Thunder. And thank you.
00:48:40Your support during my toughest year meant everything.
00:48:44My weapons empire now spans five continents.
00:48:48Impressive.
00:48:50And you, Amir?
00:48:51As usual, I'm doing well. Without your backing, I wouldn't be where I am.
00:48:56Leading 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.
00:49:04Whatever you want, Lady Thunder. Just say the word.
00:49:08I will back you, no matter what.
00:49:10I'm afraid I can't attend. Things have grown tense between the Cold West and me.
00:49:20What happened?
00:49:22Well, in the past few years, they've been expanding aggressively.
00:49:27Crushing competitors left and right. I thought they were acting with your approval, so I
00:49:32I didn't intervene.
00:49:35No, I never authorized any of that.
00:49:41Seems I underestimated how far they've gone.
00:49:44This ends now. They will answer for everything that they've done.
00:49:48Well then, tomorrow should be...
00:49:55Entertaining.
00:49:58I can't.
00:50:01Let's shake the world together.
00:50:03Cheers.
00:50:04Sebastian?
00:50:21Sebastian?
00:50:23Hey, just checking in. I 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.
00:50:33If 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. Talk tomorrow.
00:50:55Mr. Whitmore.
00:50:57Lady Thunder is currently in a closed meeting. She won't be seeing anyone today.
00:51:01Uh, Mr. 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. You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:51:11Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:51:22Mr. Whitmore.
00:51:35So I'mIE-
00:51:41lady'sgent,
00:51:44as he stars.
00:51:45Tonight 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.
00:52:16Unbelievable. Mr. Cogwell, you really shouldn't have. Every piece in here costs at least six figures.
00:52:24Well, it is worth every penny if it gains Lady Thunder's attention. Pick out anything you want in the store.
00:52:32Oh, thank you. And your sister too. Dr. Prescott, you will be representing both the Whitmore and
00:52:40Caldwell families at the gala. Do help us gain Lady Thunder's favor. Absolutely. That's my boy.
00:52:50PhD perfect. And 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.
00:53:07If she notices you and you end up marrying her, you'd rule.
00:53:15You have got to be kidding me. Eleanor.
00:53:19Well, well. Look who thinks she's someone now. You've got some nerves showing your face around
00:53:31here. Watch 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? This is Sylvia Caldwell's brother?
00:53:59How shameless. First you stole Sylvia Caldwell's fiance and now you're shopping like you belong here?
00:54:05Wait, so what?
00:54:09Poor Avian, you didn't know. This gold digger cons Sebastian the marrying her.
00:54:15She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore.
00:54:18What? 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.
00:54:31Your wife in my store. I have every right to throw you both out. Her first.
00:54:38Oh 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.
00:54:48Wow, Eleanor. What did it take? Two days to hook him? Seriously, Miss Ashton?
00:55:00You're giving up Sylvia. For her? What's the appeal?
00:55:05Maybe it's a little bit better in bed now.
00:55:12Oh, but no. You don't get to speak about my wife ever.
00:55:16Mr. Whitmore, you're not even CEO anymore.
00:55:19Just because I'm not sitting in the chair doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:55:21Please. My son has a PhD. One day, he's going to surpass you.
00:55:29You surpass me?
00:55:31Yes, my son Daniel. He is about to marry the most powerful woman alive. Lady Thunder herself.
00:55:43What? I'm sorry, what?
00:55:44So, you regret it now? You left my son and now he's going to marry the woman that could crush you both.
00:55:52Actually, you're not entirely wrong. Daniel, your mother thinks you'll marry the Lady Thunder.
00:55:57Maybe that was possible. Once. But not anymore.
00:56:01And who the hell are you to say that?
00:56:04Because I'm Lady Thunder.
00:56:09Chairwoman of the Thunder Circle. And you? I mean, you've lost the right to even
00:56:15dream of standing by my side.
00:56:22You? Lady Thunder.
00:56:26Okay, can someone give the girl an Oscar?
00:56:28Everyone hear this? This lunatic thing. She runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future.
00:56:34I don't know. A Lady Thunder stuff thing we could throw around like that. You can't.
00:56:37You 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?
00:57:14You'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 clog your way up by some miracle, you'd still be nothing.
00:57:28Sucking them dry. That's all you're good for.
00:57:31Enough of the circus.
00:57:33Yes. Can 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.
00:57:43Do 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.
00:58:07What? They bought it. The Thunder Circle has acquired all Caldwell boutiques.
00:58:16What? That's impossible.
00:58:17And Eleanor is the new owner?
00:58:21No. No. This is some mistake.
00:58:29There 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
00:58:41before I have the guards escort you out.
00:58:44You 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.
00:58:59Guards, 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 sword?
00:59:22You still don't get it? That 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.
00:59:32So 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.
00:59:47Tonight, her little luck ends.
00:59:52Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me the real Lady Thunder.
00:59:55I 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?
01:00:10Yes. She visited one of the shelters we spoke, so I reached out to her just now and asked for help.
01:00:20Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
01:00:22Look, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:00:24This is great. I 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.
01:00:40And 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.
01:01:01But 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.
01:01:17I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:18I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
01:01:22I'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.
01:01:37Sebastian 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,
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 in.
01:02:01You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:16You've got a lot of nerves showing up here, Sebastian.
01:02:21This 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,
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?
01:02:37Eleanor's my wife.
01:02:38You don't get to speak to her that way.
01:02:40Your wife?
01:02:41Did you just sing that out loud?
01:02:43Everyone, gather round.
01:02:46I have a little joke to tell you.
01:02:48Now 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.
01:03:09Sebastian used to be a force.
01:03:11And now he's just another doughy boy who got tripped by the wiles of a cheap hole.
01:03:16He offended the Caldwell family?
01:03:19He's dead now.
01:03:21You hear that, Sebastian?
01:03:23Doesn't that make you feel pathetic?
01:03:28You 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.
01:03:42I'll deal with you first.
01:03:44I'd like to see what kind of idiot thinks they can deal with me here.
01:03:48Don't you run your mouth!
01:03:58You bitch!
01:04:02You come to me, Winston.
01:04:04You bastard.
01:04:05I'm your brother!
01:04:07You're gonna let this bitch humiliate me in front of everyone?
01:04:10Huh?
01:04:11Sebastian.
01:04:13Let him go.
01:04:15I'm curious to see how far he'll take this.
01:04:18Isn't she just a nobody?
01:04:19Where does she get the guts?
01:04:21Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails.
01:04:23Once he's gone, she's out.
01:04:26You just humiliated your entire family in front of everyone.
01:04:31You chose a bitch out of blood.
01:04:34That's fine.
01:04:36As far as I'm concerned, you are exiled from the Whitmore family.
01:04:39You don't have the authority to exile me from Whitmore.
01:04:41He does not, but I do!
01:04:54Grandma.
01:04:56Sebastian.
01:04:58I'm going to ask you this for the last time.
01:05:02Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:05:05No, grandmother.
01:05:07I never loved her.
01:05:09I didn't ask you if you loved her.
01:05:12I asked, will you marry her?
01:05:14No.
01:05:16I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:05:18You're going to risk the future of our family for this useless woman?
01:05:23You 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, Wilmore 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.
01:06:00And if Sebastian agrees, the Caldwells will take us deep into the inner core of the Thunder Circle.
01:06:06You're sure?
01:06:07Absolutely. That's what this whole night is for.
01:06:09And Sylvia's already on her way.
01:06:11Aside 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.
01:06:39And you call that a strategy?
01:06:43Sniffing up the wrong trail.
01:06:45What do you mean?
01:06:47What I mean is, if you're looking for investment from the Thunder Circle, you don't need the Caldwells.
01:06:53You need me.
01:06:54What are you saying?
01:06:57What 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.
01:07:16Prove it!
01:07:18But if you're lying, you know there's a price.
01:07:21I am...
01:07:23This isn't about her lies.
01:07:24She's going to bring down the entire Whitmore family legacy.
01:07:27Mrs. Whitmore, you may not know this, but yesterday Sebastian and Eleanor aggressively acquired every Rev. Caldwell boutique.
01:07:41Sebastian, is this true?
01:07:45The boutiques were taken over by Lady Thunder. Eleanor just asked for help.
01:07:49How 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!
01:08:12A conniving parasite!
01:08:14Your son!
01:08:16You have offended the heir of the Caldwell family, and now you're trying to drag us down with you?!
01:08:23You ruined the Alliance.
01:08:25And now you show up here and crash the Thunder Circle Gala?
01:08:30We 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.
01:08:39You arrogant lunatic! Who are you to talk shit about the Caldwells?!
01:08:44I'm just stating the facts.
01:08:49Facts, huh?!
01:08:55That's Sylvia Caldwell! Things are about to get ugly!
01:08:58Eleanor's finished. Once you cross the Caldwells, you're out!
01:09:03Is that the famous Caldwell heiress?
01:09:06My son, you could do worse than marrying her!
01:09:09Mother!
01:09:11All right, all right! You were made for Lady Thunder!
01:09:14That's the one you deserve!
01:09:16Sylvia!
01:09:18Thank God you're here!
01:09:20Seriously, Winston? One girl!
01:09:22When you crumble, that'll come!
01:09:25Move!
01:09:26I'm sorry!
01:09:29So...
01:09:31First you steal her.
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. Let's see how brave you are.
01:09:48I'll break you down.
01:09:50Sylvia, don't!
01:09:53Sebastian, you're my fiancƩ and you're defending her?!
01:09:57I never even married.
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. You want something better?!
01:10:12Neil!
01:10:14Both of you, and beg me for it!
01:10:20Enough!
01:10:21I've only gotten started.
01:10:23By the time tonight's gala ends, Whitmore won't even exist!
01:10:27Miss Caldwell, you can't do this!
01:10:29You promised to back our rise into the thundership home.
01:10:32You promised Sebastian would marry you.
01:10:35Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:37Do you hear me?
01:10:38I'm sorry.
01:10:39I'm sorry.
01:10:40Looks like we're breaking promises tonight.
01:10:42Do you hear me?
01:10:43Neil!
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.
01:11:09Oh my god!
01:11:10She's insane!
01:11:11She's totally insane!
01:11:13Oh my god.
01:11:15Sylvia?
01:11:17Are you hurt?
01:11:19Do 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!
01:11:44It's not only an insult to me, it's treason against Lady Thunder herself!
01:11:49She 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.
01:12:02Sylvia's right!
01:12:03Eleanor defied Lady Thunder!
01:12:06She deserves to be punished!
01:12:08I said it back!
01:12:09She's a disgrace!
01:12:11She defied everything we stand for!
01:12:13We must punish her!
01:12:15Punish her!
01:12:16Punish her!
01:12:17Punish her!
01:12:18Punish her!
01:12:19Punish her!
01:12:20Punish her!
01:12:21Punish her!
01:12:22Punish her!
01:12:23Punish her!
01:12:24Punish her!
01:12:25Punish her!
01:12:27No, you got it all wrong!
01:12:28Everyone saw what she did!
01:12:29You're really gonna defend her?
01:12:30Did you hear that, Eleanor?
01:12:32Game over!
01:12:34You breathe, because I allow it!
01:12:37When I say you're finished?
01:12:38Don't you dare.
01:12:39If you do that, I promise I'll kill you.
01:12:42Shut 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? Fine.
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. You twisted the truth so quickly.
01:13:02But you picked the wrong opponent.
01:13:04All of you? You're just insects in my eyes.
01:13:07Still mouthing off?
01:13:09I'll send you straight to hell.
01:13:15And 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.
01:13:30Big names were expected.
01:13:32Too bad for her.
01:13:33She's even more screwed now.
01:13:36What are you doing here, Varelli?
01:13:38We were just about to take out the trash.
01:13:41So, unless you plan on interfering with Thunder Circle justice,
01:13:45I suggest you let us finish.
01:13:48Sylvia Caldwell.
01:13:49Who excited were you planning to kill?
01:13:53Her.
01:13:54She 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
01:14:04to impress Lady Thunder.
01:14:06Steal credit?
01:14:07You really have no idea what you've just done.
01:14:12One more word out of you,
01:14:14and the Caldwell name is history.
01:14:15You're serious?
01:14:16Deadly.
01:14:17You touch her again,
01:14:19and your entire empire burns to the ground.
01:14:22Because the woman you just threatened
01:14:24is Lady Thunder herself.
01:14:27Lady Thunder!
01:14:28Lady 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,
01:14:56sabotaging 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,
01:15:04you're all as good as dead.
01:15:06Now I understand just how bold
01:15:08your entire family has become.
01:15:10Do you really think that
01:15:11Morelli, 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 going to destroy you.
01:15:21And all your fake pretenders.
01:15:26Weapons up.
01:15:32Lay a finger on her,
01:15:33and I promise you,
01:15:35none of you will be alive to regret this.
01:15:37You won't want to defend a liar!
01:15:41Stand down!
01:15:45Stand down!
01:15:48That's Adam Lee,
01:15:49Lady 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,
01:16:01tell 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!
01:16:15For years, Lady Thunder's been running the largest charity in Africa.
01:16:21While you were polishing your shoes,
01:16:23she was saving children.
01:16:26That can't be.
01:16:28No.
01:16:29No, no.
01:16:31If that's true,
01:16:33then let her prove it.
01:16:35Lady Thunder is to confirm
01:16:37this circle's billion-dollar investment.
01:16:39And the system's only locked with one thing.
01:16:42Her fingerprints.
01:16:45If she is who she says she is,
01:16:48let her unlock her.
01:16:49Yeah.
01:16:50Let 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.
01:17:00Right here.
01:17:02Right now!
01:17:02Now!
01:17:02Eleanor.
01:17:06Are you sure you can...
01:17:08No thanks, Sebastian.
01:17:11It's time for them to see the truth.
01:17:13Highest level authorization.
01:17:35Verified Eleanor Thunder.
01:17:36Type CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:17:39One hundred billion funds activated.
01:17:42My God!
01:17:48My God!
01:17:50She is Lady Thunder.
01:17:52The CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:17:54She's investing a hundred billion dollars
01:17:56in a 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.
01:18:05Eleanor is Lady Thunder.
01:18:08Lady Thunder!
01:18:10Lady Thunder!
01:18:12What now, Sylvia?
01:18:14What else do you have to say?
01:18:24Sylvia!
01:18:25Sylvia!
01:18:31Sylvia!
01:18:31This is her.
01:18:35Call the mom.
01:18:36Name is done.
01:18:38My father will kill me.
01:18:40Take them out.
01:18:42We'll deal with them later.
01:18:43So, Eleanor, it's true.
01:19:00You're the Lady Thunder.
01:19:02The CEO of the Thunder Group.
01:19:06I'm the most powerful woman in the world.
01:19:09Does this even matter anymore?
01:19:14Of course it matters.
01:19:16I would have never broken up with you if I had known.
01:19:19Things could have been different.
01:19:22Could they have been, Daniel?
01:19:24If 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.
01:19:38And you never believed in me.
01:19:40No, that's not true.
01:19:44All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:19:50I didn't mean anything to you.
01:19:54I 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.
01:20:10Eleanor, please.
01:20:13We've known each other for years.
01:20:15You've always been like a daughter to me.
01:20:18Whatever misunderstandings are between us, we can fix.
01:20:22A daughter?
01:20:24Weren't you the person that called me a useless girl?
01:20:27Not good enough for your son?
01:20:29It was before.
01:20:30I didn't know.
01:20:31I was stupid and blind.
01:20:34You...
01:20:35You're perfect, Eleanor.
01:20:37So 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.
01:20:55We were together for so long, Eleanor.
01:20:58Please, please forgive me.
01:21:00You wanted a fast track to power.
01:21:04Well, Daniel, I hope you enjoy the fall.
01:21:07You and my grandson make a perfect pair.
01:21:26So, congratulations.
01:21:29Yes, congratulations to you both.
01:21:31Where is Sebastian?
01:21:35That's interesting.
01:21:36Didn't you expel him from your family?
01:21:41Well, no.
01:21:43That was a mistake.
01:21:46He's always part of my family.
01:21:48He will always be my grandson.
01:21:49I did warn you all.
01:21:51I told you that you would regret casting him aside.
01:21:57Grandma, I've decided I'm stepping away from the Wittenwolves.
01:22:03It's time I've made something that's truly mine and not in the family's shadow.
01:22:08But Sebastian, I 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 you.
01:22:43Eleanor.
01:22:43As you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore.
01:22:49I'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?
01:23:04Of course I will.
01:23:09And this time as your wife, investor, and co-founder.
01:23:14I wish I could have done it, but it's just me.
01:23:18I can't do this, you see.
01:23:21I'm sorry I can't be the one to hold you.
01:23:26When the world is on your shoulder.
