00:00:02Dr. Eleanor Grace Whitmore is awarded with the Medal for Merit, the first woman to ever receive this honor, for
00:00:08her wartime breakthroughs in physics, radar, and energy systems. Her contributions have saved countless American lives.
00:00:23Congratulations, Mom. You're always going to take care of it.
00:00:26Thank you, Lex.
00:00:32Look! The light's falling!
00:00:36Lexi, watch out!
00:00:40Mom!
00:00:48What's going on?
00:00:49Didn't I just... die?
00:00:52That's Eleanor Hawthorne, right? The child Mr. Hawthorne had with his ex-wife?
00:00:57Hawthorne? That's my maiden name.
00:00:59She was in the countryside for 18 years. I heard Julie came back after her mother passed.
00:01:06Is that... me? I woke up in another girl's body?
00:01:12Oh! Sis! Try this. It's really good.
00:01:18Oops! My hand slipped. You wouldn't like this high-end wine anyway. You know, being a country bumpkin and all.
00:01:37What do you know? My hand slipped too.
00:01:42What do you know? My hand slipped too.
00:01:43Are you out of your mind?
00:01:44I hope you like the taste. Of your own medicine, that is.
00:01:47No manners at all.
00:01:48You should have left her in the country where she belonged.
00:01:50She threw her drink at me. And you both stayed silent. But when I stand up for myself, I'm the
00:01:54problem?
00:01:55It's not your idea of manners.
00:01:59She's acting like a completely different person.
00:02:05Look! It's Mr. Sebastian Whitmore.
00:02:09The Whitmore group's youngest CEO.
00:02:11What a presence!
00:02:14He looks so much alike.
00:02:18I love Jonathan endlessly. In 1944, he sacrificed fighting in World War II.
00:02:23I never thought I'd see that face again.
00:02:26He's Whitmore too. Could he really be a descendant of mine?
00:02:28What is your relationship to Lexi? I mean, Alexander Whitmore?
00:02:32God. She just called the chairman of the board Lexi? Has she lost her mind?
00:02:35Mr. Whitmore, please forgive her. My daughter grew up in the country and clearly does not have any manners.
00:02:41How dare you throw around Mr. Whitmore's grandfather's name? Apologize. Now!
00:02:45Lexi is my son. Which means this young man is my great-grandson.
00:02:52Is Alexander still alive?
00:02:53Watch your tongue. How dare you just ask Mr. Whitmore a question like that?
00:02:57My grandfather's alive and well, of course.
00:03:00Mr. Hawthorne, please make sure your daughter behaves responsibly.
00:03:03Yes, absolutely.
00:03:05Thank heavens. My son is still alive.
00:03:07No manners? No respect? Have I taught you nothing?
00:03:12I have...
00:03:14Smith.
00:03:19This body...
00:03:21Still feels so foreign.
00:03:24There's something in her memory. A phone. It knows everything.
00:03:30Alexander Whitmore.
00:03:33Alexander Whitmore, chairman of Whitmore Group, is receiving long-term treatment in Switzerland.
00:03:36Lexi. I saw it.
00:03:39Even the birthmark is in the same spot.
00:03:41He's my Lexi.
00:03:41How did you get so bald so fast?
00:03:48Why are you so slow? Change your clothes first day at the new school.
00:03:51Don't embarrass us again.
00:03:53Relax, Dad. She grew up on a farm and she's probably slow in more ways than one.
00:03:57Wait! Were you on the Beverly Hillbillies?
00:04:00Yesterday we were finally invited to the Whitmore's empire. Ruined it!
00:04:03Who knows what they're gonna try to do to us now.
00:04:05The Whitmore family has integrity. They don't strike back over a minor select. Get out.
00:04:10I'm not done with you yet!
00:04:13Leave. I need to change.
00:04:19Did you see her eyes? Terrifying.
00:04:21She frightened me too. That look. Like she'd already lived an entire lifetime.
00:04:26What is wrong with her?
00:04:31Can you believe it? My dad actually paid to get that dumb country girl into our school.
00:04:34Wow. Your dad's really generous.
00:04:36Yeah, whatever. Let's spice up your first day a little.
00:04:39Oh, Eleanor. The principal is looking for you. His office is right there.
00:04:51In my day, school pranks were a little less juvenile.
00:05:08Look what wandered in.
00:05:10Wrong hallway, sweetheart. Or maybe she's just curious.
00:05:15Is she really breathing right now?
00:05:18Drop the axe. I always buy you from the proper.
00:05:23Pick it up.
00:05:26Pick it up.
00:05:26You need to thank me. It's with you.
00:05:27I said pick it up.
00:05:30And what if I don't?
00:05:38Basic combat training. Courtesy of the army.
00:05:45Now will you pick it up?
00:05:49I just got taken down by a girl?
00:05:52First person to get Julian's ass begins by a chick?
00:05:56You better take your lesson, Julian!
00:06:03Don't ever cross me again.
00:06:16Class, calm down, I'd like you to meet a new transfer student, Ms. Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:06:20It's her?
00:06:21Eleanor, why don't you take a seat behind Julian.
00:06:32How old are you, five?
00:06:37Alexander Whitmore returns to the U.S.
00:06:40Sorry, I need to step out a moment.
00:06:41Family emergency.
00:06:42Off to Scarecrow Building 101, maybe a ticket class or something?
00:06:46Yes, you should come, every class needs a cautionary tale.
00:06:53Rosewood Manor, the house we bought after getting married.
00:06:56Never imagined it last generations, and my son, he's here, there should still be a hidden
00:07:01entrance.
00:07:04Excuse me, who are you, and how did you get in here, and how did you get in here?
00:07:12From the Bat Gate.
00:07:14You're the young lady from the Hawthorne family.
00:07:15I heard your grandfather had the turn, so I came to pay my respects.
00:07:18I trust you will allow that, Mr. Whitmore?
00:07:21Uh, unfortunately this is not a good time, unless you leave.
00:07:25If I'm not mistaken, the code to the Whitmore vault right now should be 649-Omega-71-CB-30-J.
00:07:32That code?
00:07:33Only my grandfather and I know it.
00:07:34He changes every month.
00:07:36Who are you?
00:07:37Once I see Alexander, you'll understand.
00:07:40So, are you going to take me to him now?
00:07:42Right this way, Ms. Hawthorne.
00:07:44The code was mine, I just had to offset the dates.
00:07:46Simple to crack, if you know how.
00:07:48How does she know the code?
00:07:49Did my grandfather tell her?
00:08:00Mama, you're being robbed in your bluebie!
00:08:03Ms. Hawthorne, that's why.
00:08:05I wish you understood, I wish that I could show all the ways I love you, before I go, I
00:08:15just want to say I'm sorry, your forgiveness that's overdue, you should know I'll always be there, take this heart
00:08:22as if I own you, don't know how and don't know when.
00:08:26But I hope I see you again.
00:08:27I wish that I could show all the ways I love you, before I go.
00:08:34I just want to say I'm sorry, your forgiveness that's overdue, you should know I'll always be there, take this
00:08:41heart as if I own you, don't know how and don't know when, but I hope I see you again,
00:08:47you're the same.
00:08:49Oh.
00:08:49We're here now. You need to worry.
00:08:56We checked Eleanor Hawthorne. No Whitmore connection.
00:08:58The Hawthorne's moved here in the 80s. Mothers of York. Farming family. That's all.
00:09:03And who is she really?
00:09:04We're not sure, but she...
00:09:07I'll return at this hour each day.
00:09:10Give me the number. I'll need updates.
00:09:12Mr. Hawthorne's number isn't just handed to anyone. Before...
00:09:17Much obliged, Sebby.
00:09:19I'll return on the morrow.
00:09:20I mean...
00:09:21Tomorrow.
00:09:23On the morrow?
00:09:24She's calling me Sebby?
00:09:25Kinda weird hearing that from some teenager.
00:09:45Something wrong, Miss Perfect?
00:09:47All you do is waste time. And your father's money on flashy watches.
00:09:51You have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
00:09:53Wait, isn't he just a broke nobody?
00:09:55Didn't your parents ever teach you manners?
00:09:57Shut up. I don't have parents.
00:09:59This is your final warning. Watch out.
00:10:03Consider this your warning.
00:10:13Whatever. You're not my time. I think the game is winning.
00:10:23I'll be back tomorrow.
00:10:24I'll sue myself.
00:10:27Miss Alma, shall I have the driver take you home?
00:10:30No.
00:10:30Just drop me off at the library.
00:10:36Why do I just do what she says? It's like she actually runs the house.
00:10:40What the hell? What's she doing here?
00:10:42She can't follow me all this way, right?
00:10:44Unless, she must be really into me.
00:10:47Master Julian, what's so funny?
00:10:49Really, nothing.
00:10:56Why are you never home anymore?
00:10:59I've been at the library, doing some research.
00:11:02You're wasting your time there.
00:11:03Can you even read?
00:11:04I certainly can.
00:11:06Not that you had anything to do with that.
00:11:11So, how's your super idol prep coming along, sweetie?
00:11:14Don't get me started.
00:11:15The open call theme is reunion.
00:11:17It's kind of tricky.
00:11:18Not that tricky.
00:11:19Remember, Whitmore Group sponsors the show.
00:11:21Their chairman, Alexander Whitmore, was born during World War II.
00:11:24I heard he has a soft spot for the old songs of that era.
00:11:26Exactly.
00:11:26The producers always choose a theme that pleases him.
00:11:28So you better deliver, darling.
00:11:31Lexi used to fall asleep to those songs when I sang them.
00:11:34He must be longing to hear his mother's voice again.
00:11:36How do I sign up?
00:11:39I'd like to audition, too.
00:11:43You have got to be kidding me.
00:11:45Madison here has been training ever since grade school.
00:11:47Singing, dancing, acting lessons.
00:11:49She has real credits.
00:11:50And you?
00:11:51Nothing.
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:53Dream on.
00:11:53This competition is for girls who have real talent.
00:11:56Let's give her a chance.
00:11:57I'll send you the sign-up link.
00:11:59Why are you even helping her?
00:12:04Why are you even helping her?
00:12:06Let her audition.
00:12:07She'll only make you shine brighter.
00:12:08When they see how bad she is, they'll be running to hand you the award.
00:12:11You're right.
00:12:12I know.
00:12:15Wait.
00:12:15You really think Eleanor has a crush on you?
00:12:17Absolutely.
00:12:18She's totally intimate.
00:12:18Why else would she keep provoking me?
00:12:20She follows me from home from school.
00:12:21It's obvious.
00:12:23She wants my attention.
00:12:24I mean, you got a point.
00:12:26No wonder you're the king of this school.
00:12:28Well, I'm going to give her what she wants, make her seem interested, make her fall ahead
00:12:31of her heels for me, and then I'm going to reject her in front of everyone, and watch
00:12:33her crash.
00:12:35Bro, that's genius, man.
00:12:36I bet you'll be in tears the moment you do it.
00:12:52Surprised is perfect.
00:12:54I thought you deserved something a little sweet.
00:12:57Keep it.
00:12:58I don't take candy from children.
00:13:00Starting today, I'm officially pursuing you.
00:13:03What, did you get a concussion or something when I kicked your ass?
00:13:06Plain hard to get, huh?
00:13:08Figures.
00:13:09Stop pretending.
00:13:10I know you had a crush on me since you saw me.
00:13:13Need help?
00:13:28What the hell was that?
00:13:29A wake-up call.
00:13:30I thought I could knock some sense into you.
00:13:32Bro, I don't think she actually likes you.
00:13:33Shut it.
00:13:34She's just flustered.
00:13:35That's all.
00:13:36She can't help me revealing her little secret.
00:13:37All right.
00:13:41Sebi?
00:13:41We're back.
00:13:42How do you know Sebi?
00:13:45How do you know my brother's private number?
00:13:46Nobody has that.
00:13:47Nobody.
00:13:48Sebastian Whitmore is your brother.
00:13:49You're Whitmore, too.
00:13:50How do you know him?
00:13:51He told me to keep a low profile at the school, so if you say a word, you'll regret it.
00:13:55This hot-headed, thick-skulled boy is my great-grandson.
00:13:57The universe must be mocking me.
00:14:00What's that face for?
00:14:02So, Miss Perfect, are you ready to admit it?
00:14:04You like me.
00:14:08Are you ready to admit it?
00:14:09You like me.
00:14:11Back off.
00:14:11Just looking at you gives me a headache.
00:14:14You're a freaking weirdo.
00:14:15Looks like she caught up another sentry or something.
00:14:17So, the object hits the ground at t equals two seconds.
00:14:20Look, I think she's smart enough for AP.
00:14:22Eleanor would fail regular physics and t equals two seconds.
00:14:24Quiet now.
00:14:25I know this one's a little advanced, so don't be discouraged if you don't fully comprehend it just yet.
00:14:29Mr. Carter, I think there's a mistake in your equation.
00:14:33I'm sorry, are you questioning my answer, Miss Hawthorne?
00:14:42T equals zero.
00:14:43It's the release point.
00:14:45The math speaks for itself.
00:14:48Are you sure about this, Miss Hawthorne?
00:14:50Or are you just trying to stir up trouble?
00:14:52Here we go, she's taking her own grade.
00:14:55Here we go.
00:15:02Because you're absolutely right.
00:15:04This is brilliant.
00:15:05I never thought to solve it this way.
00:15:07You're a genius, young lady.
00:15:08I'll have to recommend you for the National Science Competition next month.
00:15:11Thank you, sir.
00:15:11It would be an honor to accept such an opportunity.
00:15:15Man, she's incredible.
00:15:17Think you can handle her?
00:15:19Easy.
00:15:22Miss, perfect.
00:15:23Just wait until I ask you out and then turn you down.
00:15:25Let's see if you're still smiling then.
00:15:29Guess what?
00:15:30Julian's planning some huge love confession.
00:15:31You've rejected him like a dozen times.
00:15:33Why won't you just give up?
00:15:34I mean, you were last year's prom queen.
00:15:35Julian is hot.
00:15:36I'll give him that.
00:15:36But no money, no status, please.
00:15:38He's nothing.
00:15:48Julian, I told you.
00:15:51I told you.
00:15:54Eleanor, I have to ask you a question.
00:15:59Wait.
00:15:59Since when is Julian chasing her?
00:16:01Well, two broke kids.
00:16:02Guess they do make a good match.
00:16:09I got these.
00:16:11Specifically for you.
00:16:13So, what do you say?
00:16:14Wanna be my girlfriend?
00:16:17Make it official.
00:16:18Yeah, no one can ever resist Julian.
00:16:23How dare you?
00:16:24You disgrace.
00:16:34Shut up, everybody.
00:16:36Shut the hell up.
00:16:38Oh my god.
00:16:39This is a limited edition.
00:16:40Worth millions.
00:16:42No way.
00:16:42Julian could never afford this.
00:16:43It's gotta be fake.
00:16:50Do you like your clips?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:52Did you say thank you?
00:16:54Of course.
00:16:54You're beautiful.
00:16:58Daddy?
00:16:59Who's that lady?
00:17:02Daddy?
00:17:03Who's that lady?
00:17:05Sweetheart, don't call Sebastian Daddy like that.
00:17:07It's fine.
00:17:07She likes it later.
00:17:11Hi.
00:17:12I'm Claudia.
00:17:13Sebastian's secretary.
00:17:17I was bringing my daughter Daisy here to visit Mr. Alexander.
00:17:21Thomas, have dinner prepared for me.
00:17:22Certainly, miss.
00:17:24Where did this girl come from?
00:17:26I feel like she owns the place.
00:17:29Who's that?
00:17:30Who exactly is she?
00:17:31Um, that's Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:17:32She's just a guest.
00:17:33She's just a guest.
00:17:33Busy my grandfather.
00:17:34Oh.
00:17:36Daisy, why don't you go get Miss Hawthorne a glass of water?
00:17:39Thank you, sweetie.
00:17:41She's so sweet.
00:17:47Miss Hawthorne.
00:17:48Here.
00:17:55Miss Hawthorne.
00:17:56Sorry.
00:17:57I'll forgive you this once.
00:17:58But next time, the water will hit your mother's face.
00:18:06Daisy.
00:18:07Daisy, what happened?
00:18:10Mom, she yelled at me.
00:18:11She's so mean.
00:18:13It's okay.
00:18:13Daddy's here.
00:18:14Teddy, I'm scared.
00:18:16Miss Hawthorne?
00:18:16Why did you do that?
00:18:17I thought you had brains, Sebby.
00:18:19It turns out your judgment is worse than I imagined.
00:18:21What?
00:18:21If this is how you measure character, how can you manage a company?
00:18:24Or anything else?
00:18:25Get out.
00:18:26All of you.
00:18:29The patient needs his rest.
00:18:31You don't get to decide who stays here.
00:18:37Sebastian.
00:18:38You're just gonna let that go?
00:18:40Leaving her alone in Mr. Whitmore's room is absolutely inappropriate.
00:18:43She's not gonna cause any trouble.
00:18:45Um, she's...
00:18:46Well, it's hard to explain.
00:18:47Hard to explain?
00:18:48Don't tell me she's after Sebastian.
00:18:52Sebastian.
00:18:55It's just us again, darling.
00:18:57You've been waiting to hear Mommy sing?
00:19:01I'm entering Super Idol.
00:19:03I went to record the song I always sang to you.
00:19:10Orally, orally, made with golden hair.
00:19:15Sunshine came along with me and swallows in the air.
00:19:20Take my heart and take my ring.
00:19:23I give my all to thee.
00:19:26Take me for eternity.
00:19:29Dear, restore me.
00:19:33Lexi, can you hear me?
00:19:35Doctor, someone get the doctor!
00:19:36He's moving!
00:19:41Mr. Whitmore could wake up any moment.
00:19:43Maybe tomorrow, maybe a month from now.
00:19:44We just don't know.
00:19:49What's going on?
00:19:50Seth's busy.
00:19:51I can see you out.
00:19:52You think you can believe me?
00:19:54Let's see about that.
00:19:56I can do it.
00:19:57Help!
00:19:58I can't believe it!
00:19:59Mom!
00:20:00Daisy, somebody help!
00:20:01Somebody help!
00:20:02Daisy!
00:20:03Help!
00:20:04Mom!
00:20:04Daisy!
00:20:05Help!
00:20:09Is it alright?
00:20:10I'm done!
00:20:11I might die!
00:20:12I've seen Mom and Dad again!
00:20:13What's going on?
00:20:14She pushed me and she's trying to ground me!
00:20:20She pushed me and she's trying to ground me!
00:20:22I didn't push her.
00:20:23Miss Hawthorne, if Daisy's wrong, I'll apologize for her.
00:20:25But that little spill with the water, that was an accident.
00:20:27I didn't realize you could be this cruel.
00:20:29Or that you could be this sensitive.
00:20:31I did no such thing.
00:20:32Sebby?
00:20:33Sebby?
00:20:34How dare she call him that?
00:20:35Miss Hawthorne, there's no excuse for endangering a child from now on.
00:20:39Stay away from the house!
00:20:40Your mind is much too narrow.
00:20:42If you can't even handle a situation like this, maybe the Whitmore Group's CEO should
00:20:45be someone else.
00:20:48Unbelievable.
00:20:49Since when did a teenage girl start writing the Whitmore family business?
00:20:52Sir, it's your grandfather.
00:20:53He's awake!
00:20:57Grandpa, we're awake.
00:20:59Here, have some water.
00:21:02I remember someone saying orally to me while I was out.
00:21:09Is that true?
00:21:10That was Miss Eleanor Hawthorne, sir.
00:21:11She's been visiting lately.
00:21:12Hawthorne?
00:21:13Yes.
00:21:14Eleanor?
00:21:15Hawthorne?
00:21:16What's her name?
00:21:16What?
00:21:18Where did she bring her here?
00:21:19She had to go, Grandma.
00:21:20She just over with a little girl.
00:21:21Nonsense!
00:21:22Find her!
00:21:24Now!
00:21:28Miss Hawthorne!
00:21:29Wait, Miss Hawthorne!
00:21:30Master Alexander's awake.
00:21:31He wants to see you.
00:21:37Master Alexander, Miss Hawthorne's here.
00:21:49She looks just like her.
00:21:52Mom's been gone for decades.
00:21:54It can't be.
00:21:56I see.
00:21:57How did you know that, man?
00:21:59No one's ever called me that since my mother died.
00:22:02Because it's me, sweetheart.
00:22:04It's Mom.
00:22:08I must be confused.
00:22:10Please don't joke about this.
00:22:13Do you remember that little mutt?
00:22:16Piney?
00:22:17Thursday night home, he peed all over your pants.
00:22:19You were so embarrassed.
00:22:21You made me swear it never toasts home.
00:22:24How did you know that?
00:22:25Because I was there.
00:22:27I remember every second.
00:22:30When he died, you cried.
00:22:32All day.
00:22:34You held him in your arms.
00:22:36You said,
00:22:37goodbyes always hurt this much.
00:22:40And I said, no.
00:22:41I would never let you feel that kind of pain again.
00:22:45But I lied.
00:22:48Because...
00:22:49Because then I left you.
00:22:50God, at least you were just a kid.
00:22:53Scared.
00:22:54And alone.
00:22:55And...
00:22:55I wasn't there to hold you.
00:22:56I told you that it wasn't your fault.
00:22:58I let you grow up.
00:22:59Without a mother.
00:23:00And...
00:23:00I wasn't there for...
00:23:01For all the heartbreaks.
00:23:02I will never...
00:23:03Forgive myself.
00:23:05Mom.
00:23:06Alex.
00:23:08How did you grow up so fast?
00:23:10Mom.
00:23:13You're...
00:23:13I'm so sorry, my mom.
00:23:15Mom.
00:23:15I will never...
00:23:16Leave you again.
00:23:18Is this really the same Alexander would line up?
00:23:20Stone-faced Ruthless commanding an empire?
00:23:27Grandpa, this whole thing is insane.
00:23:29You shut your mouth and you...
00:23:31You leave.
00:23:33How is it...
00:23:34How...
00:23:35Is...
00:23:35Is this real?
00:23:37I thought I'd die too.
00:23:40I opened my eyes and...
00:23:42It was 70 years later.
00:23:43I woke up...
00:23:44In a girl's body.
00:23:45Her name is Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:23:48Same face.
00:23:49Same name.
00:23:50So that's the whole story, huh?
00:23:52Time travel.
00:23:53Waking up in a brand new body.
00:23:54And you expect us to sit here and believe you, Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:23:56Don't you dare talk to her like that.
00:23:58This is your great-grandmother.
00:24:01God.
00:24:03This is the answer of my prayers.
00:24:05Can I get to see my mother again?
00:24:07There's nothing.
00:24:07No proof.
00:24:08Proof.
00:24:08Proof.
00:24:09You don't think I'd know my own mother?
00:24:12Sebi.
00:24:13Stubborn like you were as a kid.
00:24:15From what I can tell,
00:24:16Sebi's not that sharp.
00:24:18Trusting him with the Whitmore Empire,
00:24:20are you sure I can handle it?
00:24:21He's not the only Whitmore.
00:24:22I...
00:24:23I...
00:24:23I will gather all her grandkids,
00:24:24and you can decide which one of them
00:24:26deserves to be...
00:24:27giving them the inheritance.
00:24:29Oh, my God.
00:24:30He's still young.
00:24:31We'll guide him.
00:24:32Take it slow.
00:24:35Sebi.
00:24:35From now on, call me Gigi.
00:24:37Never seen a great-grandmother this happy.
00:24:40Well, fine.
00:24:40Calling a great-grandmother isn't so bad.
00:24:42Gigi.
00:24:44Good boy.
00:24:47Wait.
00:24:50From now on,
00:24:51I'll be moving back into the Rosewood Manor.
00:24:54Have my old room prepared.
00:24:57Okay.
00:25:08What are you doing up so early?
00:25:09I couldn't sleep at all last night.
00:25:11I kept wondering...
00:25:12Could this just...
00:25:14be a dream?
00:25:15It's not a dream.
00:25:16Mom's really here.
00:25:18Come on.
00:25:22I'm not going to school today.
00:25:24I'll spend the whole day with you.
00:25:26I hope for so long
00:25:28to hold your head again.
00:25:31My body.
00:25:32I feel so weak.
00:25:34Mom.
00:25:36I'm scared.
00:25:37No tears.
00:25:38Just breathe.
00:25:40You have to look after yourself.
00:25:42So you can live to a hundred.
00:25:52This way.
00:25:53Good morning, Master Alex.
00:25:54Miss Hawthorne.
00:25:55Here.
00:25:56This is your chair.
00:25:58Head of the table.
00:26:01Thomas.
00:26:02Sir.
00:26:02From now on,
00:26:03you will treat Miss Hawthorne exactly as you would treat me.
00:26:05Every detail.
00:26:06No exceptions.
00:26:07Sir?
00:26:08If her orders and mine ever clash,
00:26:10you will listen to her.
00:26:11Got it?
00:26:12Yes, sir.
00:26:14Did I hear that right?
00:26:15Just who exactly is Miss Hawthorne?
00:26:18Here.
00:26:19Let me pour you some milk.
00:26:22You're the one growing now.
00:26:23It's important to keep you healthy and strong.
00:26:31Here you go, Gigi.
00:26:32Have some soup.
00:26:33You're a good boy, sir.
00:26:35What on earth is going on here?
00:26:39Uh, Master Alex.
00:26:40Young Master Julian's arrived.
00:26:41Ah, yes.
00:26:43There's one younger grandson you haven't met yet.
00:26:45He doesn't come around very often.
00:26:46I bought him a villa close by.
00:26:47He's a nice boy.
00:26:48You'll like him.
00:26:49Grandpa, I'm home.
00:26:54You've got to be kidding me.
00:26:55First you blew me off at school,
00:26:56and now you're sitting here in my house?
00:26:58What game are you playing, Eleanor?
00:26:59Wait.
00:26:59You two know each other?
00:27:00We're classmates.
00:27:02So.
00:27:02Mr. Change your mind.
00:27:03Wait, you're running back to me.
00:27:09So.
00:27:09Mr. Change your mind.
00:27:10Wait, you're running back to me.
00:27:13Ow!
00:27:14What the hell, Grandpa?
00:27:15Did you just hit me?
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:16I did.
00:27:17Why would you do that?
00:27:19Sorry.
00:27:20Thomas.
00:27:21Miss.
00:27:24Watch your mouth.
00:27:26This is your great-grandmother.
00:27:29Show some respect.
00:27:30Great-grandmother?
00:27:30What are you talking about?
00:27:32Can't get your mind around it, huh?
00:27:33Just answer this.
00:27:34Your dad's mom is grandma.
00:27:36Your grandpa's mom is...
00:27:38Seriously, is this preschool?
00:27:39Just answer.
00:27:40If your dad's mom is grandma,
00:27:41your grandpa's mom is...
00:27:42Your great-grandmother.
00:27:43That's right.
00:27:44Good boy.
00:27:47What the?
00:27:50You can't play a game with me like this.
00:27:51Hey, calm down, Jules.
00:27:54Hey, bro.
00:27:55How are you going to let this fraud clown around in our house
00:27:57speaking on great-grandmother's memory?
00:27:59Great-grandmother was the cornerstone of the Whitmore family.
00:28:01Half this fortune exists because of her.
00:28:02Grandpa, wait.
00:28:03I'm not done.
00:28:04I'm not done.
00:28:05Without her, Whitmore wouldn't even exist today.
00:28:07My own name, Eleanor, was given to me in her honor.
00:28:08That's very touching.
00:28:09But tell me,
00:28:10are you insulting me?
00:28:11Or praising me?
00:28:13Should I be angry?
00:28:14Gigi,
00:28:15I know this is a lot to take in,
00:28:16but Jules acts out a lot.
00:28:18Don't let it upset you.
00:28:19What did you just call her?
00:28:20Gigi.
00:28:21Jules, she is our great-grandmother.
00:28:24Implausible! She's a fraud!
00:28:25You guys are brainwashed!
00:28:26Enough!
00:28:29Miss Eleanor Hawthorne is...
00:28:31My mother.
00:28:33Your great-grandmother.
00:28:35A remarkable woman.
00:28:36So you just buried her up from the grave and...
00:28:39Is that all that hurt?
00:28:39Not really.
00:28:40But Eleanor is the Whitmore matriarch.
00:28:43Half of our family's fortune traces back to her.
00:28:45From this moment on,
00:28:47you will respect her.
00:28:49Obey her.
00:28:50Protect her.
00:28:51And if you ever defy her again,
00:28:53I will personally throw you out.
00:28:55I have plenty of grandchildren.
00:28:57I'm not short on heirs.
00:29:00I'm not short on heirs.
00:29:05Jules, color Gigi from now on.
00:29:07Alrighty, girl.
00:29:07I'll trust you.
00:29:10Gigi?
00:29:11That's a good boy.
00:29:15Master Alex, I brought Miss Lucy.
00:29:17Lulu's home.
00:29:18Daddy?
00:29:21Auntie?
00:29:22Oh, no, sweetheart.
00:29:23That's not your auntie.
00:29:24That's...
00:29:24It's not.
00:29:25You can call me Auntie, honey.
00:29:27Come here, Lulu.
00:29:28Of course.
00:29:30Lulu is Sebi's daughter.
00:29:31She's been away at boarding school all week.
00:29:33Poor kid.
00:29:34Her mother died in childbirth.
00:29:36Amniotic ambilism.
00:29:37Strange.
00:29:38I figured Sebi didn't have any children of his own.
00:29:40Being he was so desperate to play daddy to someone else's kid.
00:29:45Gigi, I don't think you have the full story.
00:29:47Oh, really?
00:29:47Then tell me, why do you send little Lulu off to boarding school all week?
00:29:50Well, she needs her independence.
00:29:51She can't rely on me forever.
00:29:53Your seven-year-old needs her independence.
00:29:55What about your secretary's daughter, Daisy?
00:29:57Is she in boarding school, too?
00:29:58Well, Daisy doesn't have a father.
00:29:59She's very sensitive, I mean.
00:30:01If I send him to boarding school, I think she'd feel more insecure.
00:30:04Poor little Daisy.
00:30:05So, when's my big brother finding out getting married to Claudia to give Daisy a proper home?
00:30:08I like Daisy, too. Sweet, smart kid.
00:30:11Perhaps it's time to plan a wedding.
00:30:13Before you guys start planning a wedding,
00:30:16I highly suggest a joint appointment to the optometrist.
00:30:20To get your eyes checked.
00:30:22You're all completely blind to this situation.
00:30:26Master Alex, Miss Smith and Daisy have left.
00:30:28Speak of the devils.
00:30:30Daisy!
00:30:30Daddy! Sammy!
00:30:33Mr. Whitmore, how are you feeling?
00:30:35Feeling great.
00:30:36Mom, I'm so happy you're feeling better, great grandpa.
00:30:38I'd be really sad if you got sick.
00:30:40You're such a good girl, Daisy.
00:30:42Mom, I made these especially for you.
00:30:44Try them. I can do like them.
00:30:45What? Mr. Whitmore?
00:30:47A man of his stature serving Eleanor?
00:30:49Miss Hawthorne!
00:30:50Regarding yesterday, it was all misunderstanding.
00:30:52She fell in herself.
00:30:54I'm so sorry she lied.
00:30:55Daisy, why would you do that to Miss Eleanor?
00:30:58Why is he so protective of Miss Hawthorne?
00:31:00Grandpa's alright.
00:31:00Kids make up things all the time.
00:31:01She's still little. She doesn't know better yet.
00:31:03Seb, cancel everything this afternoon.
00:31:05You're gonna spend the day with Miss Hawthorne.
00:31:07Shopping, errands, the works.
00:31:08Wait, does Mr. Whitmore want Sebastian to marry Eleanor instead of me?
00:31:14But Daddy, you promised me we'd get those dolls today.
00:31:17The limited edition ones.
00:31:18The $25,000 set.
00:31:19Can we go this afternoon?
00:31:21Yeah, we'll see, Daisy.
00:31:22No. This afternoon has been spoken.
00:31:26Forget it, sweetheart.
00:31:28We'll go to the amusement park instead.
00:31:29No need to put Daddy Sebby on the spot.
00:31:31We'll get out of your way.
00:31:33Oh, wait, I'll drive.
00:31:35Mom, you were right.
00:31:38Daisy's always trying to outshine Lulu.
00:31:39That girl and her mother, they're not genuine.
00:31:41And Sebastian, he's too blind to see it.
00:31:44Here.
00:31:46Use this any way you want.
00:31:48It's unlimited.
00:31:49Are you kidding me, Grandpa?
00:31:51Hey, how about you slide me one of those cards
00:31:53and I can take Gigi out this afternoon, huh?
00:31:55What do you say, huh?
00:31:56Dream on.
00:31:57What?
00:31:57Are you saying the $10,000 a week pocket money isn't enough for you?
00:32:00I mean, I spent $100,000 on that necklace last month.
00:32:02And whose fault was that?
00:32:03I'll keep this.
00:32:04And from now on, Jules, your allowance goes to me.
00:32:06What?
00:32:07No way.
00:32:09What?
00:32:10No way.
00:32:10Yes.
00:32:11And starting tomorrow, you will be looking after Eleanor at school.
00:32:14If she gets in a car, you will hold the door.
00:32:16If she sits, you will pull up a chair.
00:32:18If she joins the volleyball team, you'll be the ball boy.
00:32:20If she goes walking, you will carry the bags.
00:32:23Got it?
00:32:26No, I don't think so.
00:32:27Not over my dead body.
00:32:28Here's Julian that way.
00:32:29Watch out with her.
00:32:30Wow.
00:32:30Did you see Eleanor today?
00:32:32She's even cuter than before.
00:32:33Holy.
00:32:33And she's even more put together than her sister.
00:32:36Damn, Julian!
00:32:38Even carrying her bags for her?
00:32:40Somebody's whipped.
00:32:40Shut it.
00:32:41Uh, Gigi.
00:32:42Go on ahead.
00:32:43I'm gonna take a smoke break.
00:32:43Wait.
00:32:46Family allowance rules.
00:32:47Read carefully.
00:32:49Later cutting class, minus 100.
00:32:50Sleeping class, minus 100.
00:32:52Smoking, minus 500.
00:32:53Finding minus 1,000.
00:32:53What?
00:32:54This sucks!
00:32:55What the hell is this supposed to mean?
00:32:59What the hell is this supposed to mean?
00:33:00Disrespecting your elders?
00:33:01That's another five grand.
00:33:03Bullshit!
00:33:03Why would you get my allowance?
00:33:04You tell me.
00:33:05Why do you think I did that?
00:33:07But Eleanor is the Whitmore matriarch.
00:33:10Half of our family's fortune traces back to her.
00:33:12From this moment on, you will respect her.
00:33:15Obey her.
00:33:17Protect her.
00:33:20Still smoking?
00:33:22Fine.
00:33:23I'll quit.
00:33:23I'll be getting crocheting instead.
00:33:31Thomas Schindler's flowers in the upstairs suites.
00:33:32Yes, ma'am.
00:33:34Master Sebastian, Miss Smith, you're back.
00:33:35Do you need any help?
00:33:36No, I need.
00:33:37I've got him.
00:33:39The second floor master suite.
00:33:41That used to be where Mr. Whitmore's mother lived.
00:33:43And now he gives it to her.
00:33:44Shhh.
00:33:53What's wrong?
00:33:54So be honest with me.
00:33:56What is Miss Hawthorne's role here at Rosewood Manor?
00:33:58She's, um, family.
00:34:01Family?
00:34:02What about me?
00:34:03After all this time, what am I?
00:34:05You're my girlfriend.
00:34:06She's famous.
00:34:07It's not the same thing.
00:34:08There's no conflict.
00:34:11Come on.
00:34:11Why are you crying?
00:34:17Don't overthink it.
00:34:18Eleanor, I won't make this easy for you.
00:34:26You had one of my father's eyes with my brother.
00:34:26Ciggy, you made it through Super Adel's open casting.
00:34:28I saw your name on the list.
00:34:29Congratulations!
00:34:29Mom, you were amazing!
00:34:31I only signed up because of you.
00:34:33But now that you're awake, maybe there's no point in continuing.
00:34:35I remember how much you loved to sing when I was young.
00:34:39You even released an album.
00:34:40If it wasn't for your career in science, you could've been a national star.
00:34:44I believed music couldn't change the world.
00:34:46Science could.
00:34:47Now you've got a second chance.
00:34:49Why not try a different life?
00:34:50I don't know.
00:34:51What about school?
00:34:52The film's on the weekends, so you won't interfere with your studies.
00:34:54Honestly, it may be a fun opportunity.
00:34:57All right.
00:35:00Reach out to the head of the team in a way more.
00:35:01Tell them to give their sole support to your genius.
00:35:03No, Lexi.
00:35:04If I rely on special treatment, is that really experience in life?
00:35:07Besides, it wouldn't be fair to the other contestants.
00:35:09You're right, Mother.
00:35:11But tomorrow, I will be there at the preliminary round cheering you on.
00:35:15And you're coming, too.
00:35:16Bring Julian, make the arrangements.
00:35:18Got it, got it, girl.
00:35:23Backed by the Whitmore Group, Super Idol drew in 40,000 auditions.
00:35:27Now, only 24 contestants remain.
00:35:29Tonight, they'll fight to make it to the semifinals,
00:35:31meeting at least two judges' votes.
00:35:34When it's your turn, honey, no one else will matter.
00:35:37Madison, I love you. Will you sign this?
00:35:40Of course.
00:35:44Wait.
00:35:45She got in, too.
00:35:47Eleanor, I didn't expect you to make it past the prelims.
00:35:49Why didn't you tell us?
00:35:50Everything here is for Madison.
00:35:52Nothing for you.
00:35:53Such a pity.
00:35:54Yeah.
00:35:55If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to even stand here.
00:35:57Better go home before you shame us further.
00:35:59Strange.
00:35:59Strange.
00:35:59I thought this was a singing competition, not a fan club.
00:36:02You.
00:36:03Strange.
00:36:03Look, the organizer are here.
00:36:13Oh my god, that's Alexander Whitmore, chairman of the Whitmore Group.
00:36:16Yeah, and with him, Sebastian Whitmore, the CEO.
00:36:20Alexander Whitmore hasn't appeared in public for ages.
00:36:22Yeah, I know, and I'm both of them not here.
00:36:24That's unbelievable.
00:36:25Where is your great-grandmother?
00:36:27Find her.
00:36:28Relax, Grandpa.
00:36:28All the contestants are up front.
00:36:31If the Whitmores notice Madison, our family is set for life.
00:36:33Exactly.
00:36:34Madison has to win.
00:36:35Let's not waste this opportunity.
00:36:36Mr. Whitmore, it's an honor.
00:36:37I'm Victor Hawthorne.
00:36:38Hawthorne.
00:36:39Don't you have a daughter?
00:36:41Yes, yes, that's right.
00:36:42Allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Madison.
00:36:43And finally, I found you!
00:36:48Alex, what are you doing?
00:36:50Well, cheering you on, of course.
00:36:53One, two, three.
00:36:55One, two.
00:36:57Ta-da!
00:36:58I brought you a cheer squad.
00:37:00Things in other.
00:37:01Lexi, I thought we agreed to keep things low-key.
00:37:04We don't want to crowd the place.
00:37:06Okay.
00:37:08Anything for you.
00:37:09All right, clear the halls.
00:37:10It's time to go.
00:37:11Go on.
00:37:12How does Eleanor know Alexander Whitmore?
00:37:14She grew up in the sticks.
00:37:16How could she possibly talk to the chairman of the Whitmore group?
00:37:20Unless she's his sugar baby.
00:37:22Shameful to think the Hawthorne name is tied to someone like her.
00:37:29Hello, everyone.
00:37:30I'm Claudia.
00:37:31I'm representing the organizers.
00:37:32If you have any concerns or suggestions, bring them to me, and I'll be sure they're addressed.
00:37:37Eleanor, here too.
00:37:39Did Mr. Whitmore come just for her?
00:37:40Is this whole show a setup to make her a star?
00:37:42Get me Eleanor Hawthorne's full file.
00:37:44Now.
00:37:46Darling, the look I'm about to give you is going to turn every head in that room.
00:37:50I'll leave it in your hands.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:53So, I was...
00:37:53Oh, hang on.
00:37:55Hello?
00:37:56What?
00:37:57Now?
00:37:59Okay, coming.
00:38:00Yeah.
00:38:01Um, so sorry, sweetheart.
00:38:02The director needs me, and it's urgent.
00:38:03I'll be right back soon.
00:38:04Hopefully.
00:38:06Half an hour till Eleanor hits the stage.
00:38:07No stylist, no costume.
00:38:09She's walking straight into a disaster.
00:38:11Come on.
00:38:11Keep going.
00:38:12Faster.
00:38:19Eleanor is the best.
00:38:21Eleanor, who even is she?
00:38:22Madison's the real star here.
00:38:23Don't you belong in a nursing home, old man?
00:38:25Get lost.
00:38:26Easy.
00:38:28Can't we get security to kick those brats out of here?
00:38:30Just watch the show.
00:38:30You need to start a war.
00:38:31They were transtopping your great-grandmother.
00:38:34Here, you two.
00:38:35You, both of you.
00:38:36You take these, and join me.
00:38:37We're going to cheer.
00:38:39Eleanor!
00:38:39Eleanor!
00:38:40Madison!
00:38:41Madison!
00:38:42I snapped and drank the glitter juice, and I died.
00:38:45Please welcome to the stage our next contestant, Madison Hawthorne.
00:38:47Woo!
00:38:48Woo!
00:38:52Woo!
00:38:57Go team!
00:38:59Go, go team!
00:39:00Go, team go!
00:39:02Go, team go!
00:39:04Go, team go!
00:39:05Go, team!
00:39:09Go, team go!
00:39:12Go, team go!
00:39:15Woo!
00:39:16Woo!
00:39:16Thank you, Madison.
00:39:17Now, let's hear from our judges.
00:39:19Woo!
00:39:20The first three yes votes.
00:39:21Madison advances to the finals.
00:39:22Well, that's it?
00:39:24People call that a performance.
00:39:26And now, our next contestant, Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:39:29Woo!
00:39:29Woo!
00:39:30Woo!
00:39:30Yeah!
00:39:30Woo!
00:39:30Woo!
00:39:31Woo!
00:39:32Woo!
00:39:32Woo!
00:39:33Woo!
00:39:35Woo!
00:39:36Woo!
00:39:37Woo!
00:39:37I'm wearing makeup on stage.
00:39:38Really?
00:39:39Why is your great-grandmother on stage without a costume or makeup?
00:39:42Wait, I'll find out.
00:39:46Well, that's an interesting.
00:39:48I like to make an impression.
00:39:53Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
00:39:58From glen to glen, and down the mountainside.
00:40:03The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
00:40:06Yes.
00:40:07Sweetheart, your father was a hero.
00:40:09So nice.
00:40:11We miss him.
00:40:12I know.
00:40:14I know.
00:40:15Whenever we miss him, we can sing his favorite song together.
00:40:17Whenever we miss him, we can sing his favorite song together.
00:40:18He'll always be with us.
00:40:23I don't feel like crying.
00:40:24Her voice is like an angel.
00:40:26The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
00:40:31It's you, it's you.
00:40:32You must go, and I must ride.
00:40:49Incredible.
00:40:50Now let's hear from our judges.
00:40:54That's three yes votes.
00:40:55Congratulations.
00:40:57Wait, just one more thing.
00:40:58Please, Judge Miller.
00:40:59So, as you all know, we judges have a special privilege.
00:41:02The Golden Ticket, a direct pass to the finals.
00:41:05So, all three of us agree that Eleanor gave the most passionate, genuine, moving performance.
00:41:09So, we would like to award her the Golden Ticket.
00:41:11No!
00:41:12No!
00:41:13No!
00:41:14No!
00:41:15The place was rigged!
00:41:16Madison was way better.
00:41:18Better?
00:41:18Eleanor is the definition of real talent.
00:41:20Sir, we just got word that Miss Smith pulled away Miss Hawthorne's makeup artist at the last minute.
00:41:24Saying she needed to touch up.
00:41:30Congratulations, Miss Hawthorne.
00:41:32Made it to the finals.
00:41:33The finals are about popularity, so I don't think you stand a chance.
00:41:35Miss Smith, if you can't separate grudges from work, maybe Chief Secretary to the CEO isn't the right position for
00:41:39you.
00:41:41Please.
00:41:41I was personally invited into this company.
00:41:43You can't fire me.
00:41:44No one can.
00:41:45You either submit your resignation, or wait for Whitmore Group to terminate you.
00:41:49Such arrogance.
00:41:50You know, I looked you up.
00:41:51You're a country bumpkin.
00:41:53Don't let Mr. Whitmore's attention make you feel special.
00:41:56Sebastian's the true heir, and I'm his girlfriend.
00:41:57And therefore, I'm the future Mrs. Whitmore.
00:41:59So tell me, what gets you the right to fire me?
00:42:03The phone call you're about to receive.
00:42:08Miss Smith, due to multiple policy violations, your employment with Whitmore Group has been terminated.
00:42:13Effective immediately.
00:42:14Fire!
00:42:17Mom, you were fantastic.
00:42:20Absolutely brilliant.
00:42:23Sebby, is this about Claudia?
00:42:25Your grandfather and I both agreed to let her go.
00:42:27Gigi, she wasn't trying to sabotage you.
00:42:29She just cares about her image too much.
00:42:31Finding her was too harsh, maybe we should-
00:42:32She was disloyal, Seb.
00:42:34She wasn't fit for the role.
00:42:35And honestly, I'm starting to wonder if you're fit to be CEO.
00:42:40Tim, bring in those transfer papers.
00:42:42Now.
00:42:47Master Sebastian, sign here please.
00:42:48No, not him.
00:42:51All my shares are going to Miss Hawthorne.
00:42:54Yes, sir.
00:42:58The company's been in a bit of a mess, Mom.
00:43:00I've done what I could, but some things are just beyond me.
00:43:04Lexi is 80.
00:43:05How could I just let him bear it all alone?
00:43:07The Whitmore legacy must go on.
00:43:11I'll do my part.
00:43:16Now that your great-grandmother is Chairwoman,
00:43:18I don't think she needs to explain her personal decisions to you,
00:43:21Mr. C.E.O.
00:43:29Mr. C.E.O.
00:43:30Tim, I'm here.
00:43:30Can we speed things up?
00:43:31I've got a school project to finish.
00:43:32She must be an intern.
00:43:33Lucky girl getting a break like this.
00:43:35Yeah, dude.
00:43:36Whitmore's no joke.
00:43:37Madam Chairwoman, right this way please.
00:43:39Chairwoman?
00:43:39That girl?
00:43:40I don't know.
00:43:41The purchasing record's gone out out.
00:43:43Who's in charge of employee welfare procurement?
00:43:44Bring him to me now.
00:43:45Uh, that's usually Claudia's brother John's responsibility,
00:43:47but he already clocked out.
00:43:49Clocked out?
00:43:50But there's still 15 minutes until 5 p.m.
00:43:51Well, Mr. Smith is the C.E.O.'s brother-in-law,
00:43:53so he comes and goes as he pleases.
00:43:55And if his sister said anything...
00:43:57This is the great Whitmore legacy?
00:43:59Surrounded by parasites.
00:44:01This is all the proof I need.
00:44:02Call the authorities.
00:44:04This is Rob.
00:44:05Yes, ma'am.
00:44:09Here, Mom.
00:44:10Have some coffee.
00:44:12Claudia's brother has only been here six months.
00:44:14Mistakes happen.
00:44:15Involving the police seems unnecessary.
00:44:17The ledger shows he's siphoned nearly a million in six months.
00:44:20Tell me, Sebastian, how would you handle that?
00:44:22Their parents died young.
00:44:23He's all clearly has left.
00:44:24Foolish boy!
00:44:26That boy is a parasite!
00:44:27Rotting this family from within,
00:44:29and you dare defend him!
00:44:31Lexi, calm down.
00:44:32It's not worth it, Sid.
00:44:34He'll be the death of me, boy.
00:44:36If John Smith pays back five times the damages,
00:44:38call off the report.
00:44:39Five times?
00:44:40That's over five million dollars.
00:44:42I'll have to sell one of my properties.
00:44:44And just to be clear,
00:44:44no patching up his mess with Whitmore assets.
00:44:46I've already instructed Tim
00:44:47to freeze all family accounts under your name.
00:44:50Sorry, Seth.
00:44:54Sorry, Seth.
00:44:55We're family.
00:44:56Doesn't seem unnecessary.
00:44:57I don't care if that boy goes to prison.
00:44:59This is to open your eyes.
00:45:01Blood?
00:45:02It's still blood.
00:45:03We can't simply walk away.
00:45:04Well, as always,
00:45:05you're one step ahead, Mom.
00:45:07And don't go begging, boy.
00:45:10No one will lend you a dime.
00:45:11Not on my watch.
00:45:12Grandpa, you can't!
00:45:19Seth said he's not eating.
00:45:20We should start without him.
00:45:21Busy or not, skipping meals isn't an option.
00:45:23He's busy.
00:45:24He's taking on private cases,
00:45:25working late,
00:45:26scramming up that five million to bail Claudia's brother out.
00:45:27I mean, for her babe, sure, maybe.
00:45:29But for her brother,
00:45:29never in a million years.
00:45:30That's love.
00:45:31Love or not,
00:45:32she's not worth it.
00:45:34Mom's right.
00:45:37Seb's already given Claudia a $20 million villa,
00:45:40plus millions more for jewelry and handbags and other trinkets.
00:45:44Strange.
00:45:45I haven't seen Claudia sell off anything of hers to pay off the debt.
00:45:48It's time he learned.
00:45:49Otherwise, he'll never be fit to lead Whitmore.
00:45:55Did I say I was working?
00:45:56Out!
00:45:57Dad, I just,
00:45:58you've been working so hard.
00:45:59If you won't eat,
00:46:00you'll wear yourself out.
00:46:02Lulu, out.
00:46:03Dad,
00:46:04I heard a great grandpa said,
00:46:06you're still on money.
00:46:08Here,
00:46:08this is my sleeping account.
00:46:10Thomas helped me set it up.
00:46:11I had saved over more than 10,000.
00:46:13Here, you can have it.
00:46:21Daddy's not short on money.
00:46:22Here.
00:46:24Keep it for yourself.
00:46:25You're rich?
00:46:26Of course.
00:46:27Now go run along,
00:46:28Daddy's still got work to do.
00:46:30Maybe I've been so focused on everything else,
00:46:32I lost sight of her.
00:46:34Dear sweet Lulu,
00:46:35I heard you're even wealthier than me.
00:46:36How about you lend me some money?
00:46:37You've always been my favorite.
00:46:44Asking kids for money now?
00:46:45That's a new low even for you.
00:46:48You want money?
00:46:50I'll give you a chance.
00:46:51Drop a scholarship plan for the Whitmore Foundation.
00:46:53First drop through tomorrow morning.
00:46:54What?
00:46:55I don't know how to do that.
00:46:56Then learn,
00:46:57or keep wasting your life here.
00:47:11Check it out, Gigi.
00:47:12My scholarship plan is genius.
00:47:17Not bad.
00:47:18The foundation could actually use this.
00:47:20You've got a good mind.
00:47:21Hey, you won't use it more.
00:47:22Do you like it, Paul?
00:47:23Gigi says I'm genius.
00:47:27I'll have someone polish it up and put it into motion.
00:47:29What about my reward?
00:47:31You spell it out yourself right here.
00:47:32Meet just one of the scholarship requirements,
00:47:34and I'll double your reward.
00:47:35You've tricked me, Gigi.
00:47:37Relax.
00:47:38We can make six figures in a year.
00:47:40Feels better when you earn it, doesn't it?
00:47:51Dude, don't forget, party at my place tonight.
00:47:54I can't.
00:47:54I'm studying.
00:47:55Studying?
00:47:56Dude, are you sick or something?
00:48:00The Whitmore Scholarship.
00:48:01You can qualify too.
00:48:01It's practically free money, Peter.
00:48:03You know who gets babes?
00:48:04Rich guys.
00:48:06No way.
00:48:07The Whitmore Scholarship can pay that much?
00:48:08Yeah, and if you're in the top 10%,
00:48:09you can get that pay too.
00:48:12It's too late for me to catch up now?
00:48:13The moment you think it's too late
00:48:14is actually the best time to start.
00:48:18If you've got questions, ask me anytime.
00:48:24Now I see why you're so Wendellinor.
00:48:26She's worth it.
00:48:27Don't get it twisted, Peter.
00:48:27You have no idea what's going on.
00:48:30The conversation's ready.
00:48:31Your brother will be out soon.
00:48:33Thank you so much, Seb.
00:48:34Truly.
00:48:34I mean, I know my brother was in the wrong.
00:48:37Maybe I should go apologize to Mr. Whitmore?
00:48:38Fine.
00:48:39Let's go.
00:48:42I don't feel like coffee today.
00:48:44Pour me some black tea, Lexi.
00:48:45Of course.
00:48:50So I was wrong before.
00:48:51Eleanor isn't into Seb.
00:48:52She's after Mr. Whitmore.
00:48:55Great-grandpa, my uncle made a mistake.
00:48:57I want to apologize for him.
00:48:58May we forgive him?
00:48:59I'm sorry, Daisy.
00:49:00Your uncle broke the law.
00:49:01A child's apology will not fix this.
00:49:05A child's apology will not fix this.
00:49:08Daisy, darling, why don't you go play with Lulu?
00:49:10Okay.
00:49:11Mr. Whitmore, I know my brother acted foolishly,
00:49:14but a few nights in that cell, he's learned his lesson.
00:49:16He won't do it anymore.
00:49:17Here.
00:49:18Darjeeling.
00:49:19First flush.
00:49:20With the finest.
00:49:21Oh, be careful.
00:49:21It's still hot.
00:49:25Excuse me.
00:49:26I'm going to have a walk in the garden.
00:49:31What are you doing?
00:49:32Friday is coming.
00:49:33I'm drawing a picture for my daddy.
00:49:37Why do you have so many pretty dresses and shoes?
00:49:39I see Eleanor got them for me.
00:49:40She says she can't wear this shiny pretty thing.
00:49:43She spoils me.
00:49:44Look, I even got the same pair of things.
00:49:45Why does she get more than anything?
00:49:47Daisy, what are you doing?
00:49:48Please stop everyone with them.
00:49:50Daisy.
00:49:53Goodbye.
00:49:53Daisy?
00:49:54What's going on in there?
00:50:00Sweetheart.
00:50:01What's happening?
00:50:01What's going on in there?
00:50:04Sweetheart.
00:50:05What's happening?
00:50:05Who's happened?
00:50:06Tell mommy.
00:50:07What's wrong?
00:50:07Hello, personally.
00:50:08I said I don't have a dad.
00:50:09He told me to get out.
00:50:10I just wanted to play with her.
00:50:12Lulu, apologize to Daisy right now.
00:50:13I swear I didn't.
00:50:15No, Seb.
00:50:15Don't be so harsh.
00:50:16It seems like Daisy ripped up the picture first.
00:50:20That's true.
00:50:20She doesn't have a father.
00:50:22Lulu, if you don't apologize to Daisy right now, you're grounded.
00:50:24I don't know where I did it.
00:50:27Looks like Lulu's the one being framed.
00:50:29Good thing I walked by it earlier.
00:50:31Thought the girls looked cute.
00:50:32Decided to film with it.
00:50:33Care to see?
00:50:41It's ridiculous.
00:50:46Daisy, you framed Lulu.
00:50:47You're seven years old.
00:50:48Why would you do that?
00:50:49I'm sorry.
00:50:49I was just jealous.
00:50:50Lulu has everything.
00:50:51Daisy doesn't mean because of I's real daughter.
00:50:53Nobody loves me.
00:50:54Sebastian, don't blame her.
00:50:56She's starved for love.
00:50:57I mean, she doesn't have a father.
00:50:59So she, this is her asking for her attention.
00:51:01Miss Smith.
00:51:01You sure do love twisting the truth.
00:51:03By your logic, everyone without a father deserves a free pass.
00:51:06Even for a crime.
00:51:09Claudia, whatever's going on between us, we need a break.
00:51:12And your brother's mess, it's not my problem right now.
00:51:14Thomas?
00:51:16Master Sebastian.
00:51:17See Miss Smith out.
00:51:18Yes, sir.
00:51:19Miss?
00:51:24She's your daughter.
00:51:25Yet, you believe someone else's word over hers?
00:51:28At least, you owe her an apology.
00:51:31I'm sorry.
00:51:31Not to me.
00:51:32To Lulu.
00:51:33She deserves to hear from you.
00:51:36I'm sorry.
00:51:37Daddy made a mistake.
00:51:39Nicholas, forgive me.
00:51:43If you really want to earn her forgiveness, prove it.
00:51:46Earn her trust.
00:51:47Give her the security she deserves.
00:52:05A minus.
00:52:06Genius.
00:52:08A plus?
00:52:09Are you not excited?
00:52:10What are you doing?
00:52:10Working on my model for the national science competition.
00:52:13Not bad.
00:52:13Keep it up.
00:52:14We're getting closer to that scholarship.
00:52:19This prototype cools compact reactors more safely, raising efficiency and cutting meltdown risk by 40%.
00:52:24Wait, are you saying you did this just by tweaking the XXV loop?
00:52:27Exactly.
00:52:27Closing the loop doubles the efficiency.
00:52:29A high schooler just solved what a PhD student struggled with.
00:52:32Am I hearing that right, Professor Grant?
00:52:33She's right.
00:52:34This ties directly to our NASA fusion program.
00:52:37Ms. Hawthorne, you've got the kind of mind this country needs.
00:52:40Class, I'm proud to announce Eleanor Hawthorne, first place in the national science competition.
00:52:48She's brought honor to herself and to the school.
00:52:50Congratulations.
00:52:51Thank you, Mr. Carter.
00:52:53It's truly an honor.
00:52:53She's all my host.
00:52:54No way!
00:52:55How is that even possible?
00:53:00Why not?
00:53:00With Eleanor's help, I even got an A minus.
00:53:02Same here.
00:53:02My grades went up too.
00:53:03Eleanor's basically a goddess.
00:53:05Grades don't matter.
00:53:06In this world, money talks.
00:53:07Once Madison wins Super Idol, she'll be filthy rich.
00:53:09Concerts, endorsements, millions.
00:53:11Girls like Eleanor, they'll end up working for her.
00:53:14It's not worth it.
00:53:20You mean Professor Grant's project?
00:53:21The nuclear fusion reactor?
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:23If we don't fix the cooling model, it's over.
00:53:2520 years of research, gone.
00:53:26There's really no work around.
00:53:27In the 1940s, there were classified manuscripts with similar design.
00:53:30It's never been decrypted.
00:53:32The author signed an EGW.
00:53:34But we only have 24 hours.
00:53:35The team's in chaos.
00:53:36And Dr. Grant hasn't slept in days.
00:53:38Where are you?
00:53:40Edwin, this is the student I told you about.
00:53:41Eleanor, this is Dr. Fisher, my old MIT colleague.
00:53:43He's working on a joint project with NASA.
00:53:44Do you even know what we're talking about?
00:53:46Yes.
00:53:46I do.
00:53:48Eleanor, why don't you play outside for a moment?
00:53:51Back to my old school.
00:53:54You!
00:53:55Professor, I can break EGW's code.
00:54:00Impossible.
00:54:00This is national security, not a science fair.
00:54:02Scientists in the 30s and 40s often hum tunes while working.
00:54:05The cipher blends melody with numbers.
00:54:08Here's the pattern.
00:54:14How could you possibly know this?
00:54:16Who are you?
00:54:17Who I am doesn't matter.
00:54:18What matters is you're running out of time.
00:54:19Let me help.
00:54:22Come to me.
00:54:27Heading home?
00:54:28You're going ahead.
00:54:28I have something urgent to handle.
00:54:29I won't be back tonight.
00:54:30But the talent show finals are tonight.
00:54:31Alex and Lily made a whole fan club.
00:54:33And your outfits are already.
00:54:34And I made t-shirts.
00:54:35Be good, Jules.
00:54:36Go home.
00:54:39Are she acting all mysterious?
00:54:41Ah!
00:54:42Master Julian.
00:54:43Please get him.
00:54:45Isn't that the Whitmore's driver?
00:54:50Wait.
00:54:50Did he just say Master Julian?
00:54:52I heard the Whitmores have a young heir.
00:54:54Could it really be him?
00:54:55Oh my god.
00:54:56That's right!
00:54:56I've seen it with the Whitmore family before.
00:54:59So all this time he's been rich.
00:55:01Like, stupid rich.
00:55:03So the necklace he bought for Eleanor was real.
00:55:06Why does Eleanor get everything?
00:55:08Julian, you still like me!
00:55:09Oh darling!
00:55:10The finals are tomorrow!
00:55:11You're leading in popularity.
00:55:13Move that trophy and then take Julian back.
00:55:16You're right.
00:55:26The cipher, it all fits.
00:55:28Music turns into math.
00:55:30Each note is a number.
00:55:31Align the sequences and there it is.
00:55:33The formula the manuscript was pointing to.
00:55:35I cannot believe that we're taking advice from a high schooler.
00:55:37He's right.
00:55:38This is a total waste of time.
00:55:40Run her formulas through the supercomputer.
00:55:42Let's see if the cooling model runs.
00:55:51We've been hit.
00:55:52External breach.
00:55:52The supercomputer's down.
00:55:53We've only got six hours left.
00:55:54It's over.
00:55:55No it's not.
00:55:56We have the formula.
00:55:57We split equations and calculate by hand.
00:55:58And calculations?
00:55:59By this scale?
00:56:00That's insane.
00:56:00In the forties they had nothing but chalkboards and guts.
00:56:03Science didn't stop and neither will we.
00:56:04Do you understand how much that we've invested?
00:56:06One error could cause an explosion.
00:56:07Do you understand the stakes?
00:56:08I'll check every line.
00:56:09There won't be any mistakes.
00:56:10And how can you be so sure?
00:56:12Because it's me.
00:56:17Oh no.
00:56:19We're late.
00:56:19And the Madison people got the best spots.
00:56:24Sweetheart, follow my lead.
00:56:33Could you let us do?
00:56:34My great-great-grandpa is super old.
00:56:36And his last wish is to cheer for his favorite contestant.
00:56:43Front row secured.
00:56:45Come on!
00:56:47Whoa!
00:56:48Whoa!
00:56:50Eleanor!
00:56:50For an old man he has more energy than half the people here.
00:56:52Evelyn's got Mr. Whitmore utterly bewitched.
00:56:54Imagine a billionaire making such a spectacle of himself.
00:56:57Such a shameless daughter.
00:56:58Thank god Madison's about to perform.
00:56:59Let's just focus on her.
00:57:01Eleanor!
00:57:02Madison!
00:57:03Eleanor!
00:57:04Madison!
00:57:05Eleanor!
00:57:06Madison!
00:57:08Eleanor!
00:57:08Woo!
00:57:09Oh my god!
00:57:10Madison!
00:57:12Madison!
00:57:14Oh yeah!
00:57:15Your great-grandmother has much more talent.
00:57:17Of course.
00:57:19Thank you, Madison!
00:57:20Madison!
00:57:21Madison!
00:57:21Madison!
00:57:21Everyone, don't forget to vote, both here and online.
00:57:24Next up, Eleanor Hawthorn!
00:57:26Woo!
00:57:29Oh, I just got news from the producers that Eleanor has not arrived backstage yet.
00:57:33We'll wait a moment for her.
00:57:33This is unfair.
00:57:35Rules are rules.
00:57:35She should be disqualified.
00:57:40Disqualify her!
00:57:41Disqualify her!
00:57:42This is absurd!
00:57:43The show has moved up half an hour.
00:57:45Eleanor is not to blame for being late.
00:57:47Let her sing!
00:57:48Let her sing!
00:57:48Quiet, please.
00:57:49I just got word from our producers.
00:57:51We will wait three minutes for Eleanor.
00:57:53If she does not show, she will be out of the competition.
00:57:57Only three seconds left.
00:57:59Three,
00:58:00two,
00:58:00one.
00:58:12Eleanor!
00:58:14Eleanor's here.
00:58:16I see the sound that saved a wretch like me.
00:58:27Yeah!
00:58:28Eleanor's here.
00:58:29One.
00:58:33Why would Gigi pick this song?
00:58:35Because it's me.
00:58:36I believe Ms. Hawthorne.
00:58:37What's next?
00:58:38I need 20 of you to run equations.
00:58:40Let me help.
00:58:40Count me in.
00:58:41I'll help.
00:58:41Me too.
00:58:42I'm in.
00:58:43I need one more.
00:58:44Are you in?
00:58:47Or are you waiting to say I told you so?
00:58:53I'm in.
00:59:10It checks out. We're clear.
00:59:11Power's back online.
00:59:14Feed it through the system.
00:59:21Look.
00:59:21Watch the screen.
00:59:24Will it hold?
00:59:25Please. It has to.
00:59:34The cooling system is stable.
00:59:36I'm gone.
00:59:40You've only been awake for two days.
00:59:41Get some rest.
00:59:42I'll stay.
00:59:43Someone has to watch the firewall.
00:59:44Foreign intrusions are still possible.
00:59:45Me too.
00:59:46I can help.
00:59:52Professor Grant.
00:59:53Ms. Hawthorne's handwriting.
00:59:54It's a perfect match for the 1940s EGW's manuscripts.
00:59:59Who is she?
01:00:01Jonathan, I think I finally understand why I'm here.
01:00:03Because this country always has people willing to fight for its future.
01:00:17Ladies and gentlemen, the votes are in.
01:00:19The winner of this year's competition is...
01:00:22Eleanor Hawthorne!
01:00:26This isn't fair.
01:00:27She was late.
01:00:28She should be disqualified.
01:00:29Let's drop.
01:00:29Let's drop.
01:00:30Sorry, I was delayed because of something important.
01:00:32Important?
01:00:32You mean...
01:00:33Sneaking into a government lab?
01:00:35No!
01:00:36Get off the side!
01:00:37No!
01:00:37I did not trespass.
01:00:38Then explain yourself.
01:00:39I can't.
01:00:40It's classified.
01:00:41Classified.
01:00:42Or are you a spy?
01:00:44How could a high schooler access a classified site?
01:00:46Yeah, she's a spy, right?
01:00:47There is no other explanation.
01:00:50This is nothing new.
01:00:52As a former Whitmore employee, I can confirm that Eleanor's victory is rigged.
01:00:56She is sleeping with the Whitmore chairman.
01:01:00She is sleeping with the Whitmore chairman.
01:01:02Oh my god.
01:01:03That is a lie.
01:01:04She doesn't deserve to debut.
01:01:06Quit while you can.
01:01:07Drop!
01:01:08Drop!
01:01:09Drop!
01:01:09Slender!
01:01:10Lies!
01:01:11Guys, are you really willing to risk national security?
01:01:14She must be disqualified.
01:01:15Drop!
01:01:16That's impossible.
01:01:17Now, here's the decision from the producers.
01:01:19The competition is suspended.
01:01:20Eleanor's title will be withdrawn with further investigation.
01:01:22You're finished, Eleanor.
01:01:25Hold on.
01:01:30I am Professor Amy Grant, NASA's chief scientist.
01:01:34What are they doing here?
01:01:35Don't tell me they've come to confront Eleanor.
01:01:36We are here to support Ms. Hawthorne.
01:01:40What?
01:01:45Eleanor Hawthorne just helped avert a nuclear crisis.
01:01:48On behalf of NASA, we present her with the Distinguished Public Service Medal.
01:01:55Yeah!
01:01:56Eleanor!
01:02:01See?
01:02:02That's my mom.
01:02:04Of course.
01:02:04Our first outsider could have strolled into NASA.
01:02:06Maybe we were wrong.
01:02:12Claudia Smith, Madison Hawthorne.
01:02:14You're under investigation for leaking classified information.
01:02:16You need to come with us.
01:02:16No, this is wrong.
01:02:18Wait.
01:02:18No.
01:02:19What are you doing?
01:02:20No.
01:02:22Sir, this is a big misunderstanding.
01:02:23Madison knew nothing.
01:02:24Enough excuses.
01:02:25Anyone who has slandered Eleanor Hawthorne's name will answer for it.
01:02:28Especially you two.
01:02:33Tim, destroy all Hawthorne businesses.
01:02:35Now!
01:02:36You Whitmores think that you can just control everyone that-
01:02:42It's over.
01:02:43All of our partners have got ties with us.
01:02:46We're bankrupt!
01:02:47What?
01:02:48Why?
01:02:50Please listen to me.
01:02:51It's not what it looks like.
01:02:54This is who you supported.
01:02:55Open your eyes.
01:02:57I used to think that Madison was kind and genuine.
01:02:59I was wrong.
01:03:00No, I can't believe I ever supported her.
01:03:04And the winner of Super Idol is Eleanor Hawthorne.
01:03:11Thank you for the support.
01:03:14Half of the money will go towards children's hospitals,
01:03:16and the other half to fund future research.
01:03:18She's the real idol.
01:03:23Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor!
01:03:26That's my mom.
