00:00:17Three for three, Peggy.
00:00:18I never miss, Mr. President.
00:00:20That's exactly why the government wants to back your company.
00:00:36America is lucky to have you.
00:00:38It's an honor to serve my country, sir.
00:00:58School pickups in 15 minutes, Oracle of Imperial Holdings.
00:01:01Let's go.
00:01:01I don't want Leo to be late for his first day at his new school.
00:01:23Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
00:01:25You witch man needs his bedtime story.
00:01:27Too bad.
00:01:30My mom says poor trash like you doesn't belong here.
00:01:37I'll get you kicked out myself, freak.
00:01:50I'll tell the teacher you hit me.
00:01:56My eyes.
00:02:01That dream is dead.
00:02:07You just closed a multi-billion dollar deal with the President of the United States.
00:02:13But you're driving a used car, pretending to be a stay-at-home mom.
00:02:23You're the Oracle, the most powerful woman in the country.
00:02:27You can use a private jet to pick up your son.
00:02:30No, I'm not just the Oracle.
00:02:33I'm also Leo's mom.
00:02:35I want him to have a normal childhood.
00:02:37And friends that can't be bought.
00:02:40I'll see you, all right?
00:02:46Mom.
00:02:47Leo.
00:02:48What happened?
00:02:49Mom.
00:02:50Tobias.
00:02:51He...
00:02:52He hit me.
00:02:53He...
00:02:54He lied.
00:02:58You.
00:03:01So you're the shit mother of the little monster that attacked my baby.
00:03:06He needs to be expelled.
00:03:08And you need to learn to be a better mother.
00:03:13He needs to be expelled.
00:03:14And you need to learn to be a better mother.
00:03:18Mom.
00:03:20I didn't do anything.
00:03:21I believe you.
00:03:22You didn't do anything wrong.
00:03:24And I love you more than anything.
00:03:27Okay?
00:03:28Why don't you go play?
00:03:30Oh, but...
00:03:31I'll be right there.
00:03:32He works.
00:03:39Of course.
00:03:41No discipline.
00:03:42That's why you raised such a spoiled little brat.
00:03:45Where the hell did you come from anyways?
00:03:47I've never seen you at a PTA meeting.
00:03:48We just moved here.
00:03:50From a small town in Virginia.
00:03:52Let me guess.
00:03:53Your idea of a big night out was a trip to the Walmart parking lot.
00:03:59Word of advice?
00:04:00This whole wide-eyed hayseed act?
00:04:02May have got you free drinks at the county fair.
00:04:05But here?
00:04:06Just makes you look like what you are.
00:04:08A desperate nobody.
00:04:10I have no idea who I really am.
00:04:13I own the whole town.
00:04:15You look like trash.
00:04:17Your kid acts like trash.
00:04:19So that must be what you are.
00:04:21A trash breeder.
00:04:27And everyone should know it.
00:04:33You don't want to do this.
00:04:34Oh, yes, she does.
00:04:35Now hold still, bitch.
00:04:45People like to multiply and start parenting.
00:04:54That is enough.
00:05:04This is a school.
00:05:06It was just a joke.
00:05:09Get out of here.
00:05:11You're going to regret siding with that one.
00:05:13Come on.
00:05:14We're taking this to Holly.
00:05:19Thanks.
00:05:20You all right?
00:05:22I don't care what they say about me.
00:05:24As long as they stay away from my son.
00:05:30I don't think I've ever seen Ellie make a friend that fast.
00:05:37Kids are great like that, you know?
00:05:40Wish it was that easy for adults.
00:05:43Who says it's not?
00:05:45Mason James.
00:05:47CEO of James Enterprises.
00:05:49Imperial Holdings is weighing a major investment in James Enterprises.
00:05:54Peggy Whitman.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:59Hello?
00:06:00Mr. James, this is the Vanderlei Conservatory.
00:06:02After your daughter's impressive violin audition,
00:06:05we'd like to invite her to interview for the young virtuoso program.
00:06:08The main hall of the Vanderlei Conservatory is named after me,
00:06:12thanks to Imperial Holdings' generous donations.
00:06:16That's incredible.
00:06:17Ellie's worked really hard.
00:06:18We look forward to meeting you and Mrs. James next week.
00:06:21Oh, um, there is no Mrs. James.
00:06:24I'm not married.
00:06:26Per our charter, we only accept students from traditional two-parent households.
00:06:31So, unless you get married in the next 24 hours, my hands are tied.
00:06:39Don't pretend like you didn't hear that.
00:06:46Peggy, I want to ask you for a favor.
00:06:50You can help my daughter's dream of getting into her school come true.
00:06:54Oh my God, this is crazy.
00:06:56Um, Peggy.
00:07:00Peggy Whitman.
00:07:01Will you be my wife?
00:07:04Peggy Whitman.
00:07:06Will you be my wife?
00:07:08Does this mean you're going to be my new mommy?
00:07:10Oh.
00:07:11We just met.
00:07:12I know.
00:07:13But, but you defended your son.
00:07:15You didn't let the PTA moms bully you.
00:07:18That shows integrity, uh, devotion, balls.
00:07:22I mean, you're my dream woman, right?
00:07:24As much as I'd love to play house,
00:07:27I'm already married.
00:07:30Even though sometimes it doesn't always feel like it,
00:07:33my husband is always traveling.
00:07:35Oh my God, I am, I'm so sorry.
00:07:37I didn't know that you were married.
00:07:39Please, please, don't sweat it.
00:07:42Give me your phone.
00:07:44My phone?
00:07:44Yeah, I can, I can help your daughter land that spot another way.
00:07:48I don't think you know how brutal private music conservatories are.
00:07:52If you don't have any connections, it's impossible to get in.
00:07:55But, yeah, if you think you can help,
00:07:58then shoot for the stars, I guess.
00:08:00If anyone can get Ellie into that school, it's the Oracle.
00:08:05Why are you messaging the Dean of Vanderlei?
00:08:07Oh, to let them know that you're a close personal friend
00:08:10of the conservatory's lead donor,
00:08:13the CEO of Imperial Holdings.
00:08:15What?
00:08:16Are you, are you crazy?
00:08:18No one's even ever seen the Oracle of Imperial.
00:08:20They're going to think I'm delusional or, or worse, a liar.
00:08:24Trust me.
00:08:25Trust you?
00:08:26I just met you like an hour ago.
00:08:28And yet you did ask me to marry you.
00:08:34And...
00:08:35Do not send that...
00:08:39Here you go.
00:08:42You are the most infuriating woman I have ever met.
00:08:46She's never going to get that slot now.
00:08:47To get into Vanderlei,
00:08:48you need to use every connection at your disposal.
00:08:51The Oracle is not at my disposal.
00:08:54Vanderlei plays big.
00:08:55If you want to get in, you've got to take risks.
00:08:57Look, I don't know.
00:08:58Um, come on, Ellie.
00:09:02Bye, Mommy.
00:09:02Oh, I'm not...
00:09:04Forget it.
00:09:06Bye, Ellie.
00:09:08No!
00:09:10Hey.
00:09:11Principal Holly says he needs to see us.
00:09:14What if I'm getting expelled?
00:09:16Hey, I will not let that happen.
00:09:22Hey.
00:09:23You didn't do anything wrong.
00:09:25I won't let them hurt you.
00:09:27I wish Daddy were here, too.
00:09:30But Daddy's working.
00:09:31And I will always be by your side.
00:09:45This is Carl.
00:09:46Leave a message.
00:09:48Carl, where are you?
00:09:49What?
00:09:50Calling your deadbeat baby daddy for backup?
00:09:53I bet he's a real zero.
00:09:54Just like you.
00:09:55If we're calling husbands,
00:09:57my Carl could have you and your little monster
00:10:00kicked out of this school so fast
00:10:01your head would spin.
00:10:03Carl?
00:10:04That's my husband's name.
00:10:06Oh, and before you embarrass yourself more,
00:10:08you should know,
00:10:09not only am I head of the PTA,
00:10:12I'm also a regional manager at James Enterprises.
00:10:15I am way more important than you.
00:10:19You're just a pathetic stay-at-home mom
00:10:21who can't even raise her kid right.
00:10:25Who I am is not important.
00:10:27What's important is that my son left school
00:10:30with bruises everywhere and cracked glasses.
00:10:35We don't know that Tobias was the cause.
00:10:40But Leo said he was.
00:10:42Well, unless Leo takes responsibility
00:10:44for his own actions,
00:10:46then I'm afraid we'll have to expel him.
00:10:49But he did nothing wrong.
00:10:51Oh, stop playing the victim.
00:10:53Here is a written admission.
00:10:56If Leo signs this,
00:10:58then he can remain enrolled here.
00:11:02Sign it.
00:11:04Now.
00:11:05Mom, but I didn't do anything.
00:11:10Please.
00:11:17Sign it, you little hooligan.
00:11:27You don't know whose son you're laying hands on.
00:11:31You don't know whose son you're laying hands on.
00:11:39Don't you ever touch my son.
00:11:54He is not signing anything.
00:12:09Mrs. Whitman.
00:12:11Mrs. Whitman.
00:12:12Perhaps you could attend this afternoon's PTA fundraiser
00:12:16to honor our biggest benefactor, Mason James.
00:12:19Mrs. Fisher and a few of the other PTA moms will be there as well,
00:12:22so it'll be a nice way to smooth things over.
00:12:26If going to a meeting means Leo doesn't have to sign that stupid confession,
00:12:30I'll be there.
00:12:32And you're in for a treat.
00:12:34Mr. James rarely makes public appearances.
00:12:39Those ladies aren't very nice.
00:12:42Don't worry, baby.
00:12:44Your mommy can be pretty tough when she wants to be.
00:12:51Mr. James, Ellie has been accepted into the Vanderlei Conservatory.
00:12:56Daddy, I got in.
00:12:57Of course you did.
00:12:59Oh my God, I'm so proud of you.
00:13:02Wow, Peggy was right.
00:13:04That move was genius.
00:13:05I cannot believe the dean thinks I know the oracle.
00:13:10Trust me.
00:13:12I want to talk to her.
00:13:15Today, find out where she is.
00:13:16Sir, you're supposed to be at the PTA fundraiser.
00:13:18The principal's honoring you.
00:13:20This is a big optics moment.
00:13:21I don't care.
00:13:23Peggy solves someone else's problem without even being asked.
00:13:27That matters more than a room full of applause.
00:13:29Since when do you chase women?
00:13:32Maybe I'm starting now.
00:13:39This place smells expensive.
00:13:41It must be Ingrid!
00:13:44I'll get some of these.
00:13:46Carl just got it working.
00:13:48Carl just got it working.
00:13:49Carl just got it working.
00:13:50Oh my God.
00:13:56Look at what the carpool lane dragged in.
00:13:59The crappiest parent at Greenwood Elementary.
00:14:03Oh great.
00:14:03The mom who brings juice boxes to a wine tasting.
00:14:06Bless her heart.
00:14:08Medicaid dental is rough.
00:14:14I'm honestly shocked you had the courage to show your face.
00:14:17After what your son did, I'd be hiding.
00:14:21By the end of the day, everyone will know exactly what kind of mother you are.
00:14:27Goodwill's best customer.
00:14:50If you want your little brat to stay in our school, you'll get down on your hands and knees and
00:14:55clean up after yourself.
00:14:56Piggy.
00:15:07Do you even know who we are?
00:15:10Petty PTA moms who like to tear other women down to make themselves feel important.
00:15:16Who are you little?
00:15:19You know what the more important question is?
00:15:26Do you know who I am?
00:15:27Do you know who I am?
00:15:29Oh, I know who you are.
00:15:31A shit mother raising a piss poor excuse for a son.
00:15:35You're pretty confident for someone digging their own grave.
00:15:41We decide when to take out the trash.
00:15:52You aren't leaving until you sign this.
00:15:56A statement.
00:15:58I, Peggy Whitman, declare that my son is mentally unstable and dangerous.
00:16:04Stop this childishness now.
00:16:07He poses a threat to other children and should be locked in a cage like the animal he is.
00:16:14How dare you talk about my son like that.
00:16:22Manners, dear.
00:16:23Let's not forget our place.
00:16:26Take a seat, Peggy.
00:16:27We have unfinished business.
00:16:30Smile for the camera, skank.
00:16:34Look at the camera.
00:16:37And say, my son is a monster.
00:16:41You don't know who you're messing with.
00:16:49I don't take orders from you.
00:16:56You know, I really didn't want it to go this far.
00:16:59Go get the boys.
00:17:00This should be outside playing.
00:17:04We'll expose your son in front of everyone.
00:17:09You can insult me all you want.
00:17:12But if you bring my kid into this, you will pay.
00:17:26Mom!
00:17:42Mom, what's going on?
00:17:44They're about to find out what happens when you cross me.
00:17:50Where is he?
00:17:51My son was bullied by some monster.
00:17:54Carl may not always be there for me, but at least he has Leo's back.
00:17:58There's my boy.
00:18:07My boy?
00:18:10My boy?
00:18:15My sweet baby.
00:18:17I'll always protect you.
00:18:25For my wife.
00:18:26The best mother in the world.
00:18:29I promise, I will always be the best husband and father.
00:18:36Oh, you are so done.
00:18:39Ingrid's man?
00:18:40He's the CEO of Goldleaf Global.
00:18:43He can destroy you with the snap of his fingers.
00:18:47Oh, my God.
00:18:48Ingrid isn't just some PTA mom.
00:18:51She's my husband's mistress.
00:18:54She's my husband's mistress.
00:18:54And Tobias is his son.
00:18:57And Tobias is his son.
00:18:57Carl has a whole other family.
00:19:00Mom, why is dad calling Tobias his son?
00:19:06Hey, no matter what, you remember that mommy will protect you.
00:19:09Okay?
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:12Don't worry, Tobias.
00:19:13I'll handle this.
00:19:15James Enterprises is considering a $100 million investment into Goldleaf, which means I will not stand for any bullying.
00:19:24And neither will my future business partner, Mason James.
00:19:29So let's resolve this situation quickly and permanently.
00:19:33Whoever bullied my son just made the biggest mistake of your life.
00:19:38Delinquents like that don't deserve to be in Greenwood with children like ours.
00:19:43Exactly.
00:19:43And I'll make sure that that person learns their lesson.
00:19:48Tell me.
00:19:49Who hurt you?
00:20:01Shit.
00:20:05Sir, I've located Mrs. Whitman.
00:20:07She's at the PTA fundraiser, but her husband and the other moms are ganging up on her.
00:20:11Oof.
00:20:11Well, I guess that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's wife.
00:20:15Get us there.
00:20:16Now.
00:20:18What are you waiting for, Carl?
00:20:21Destroy that little bastard.
00:20:23Go on.
00:20:24Destroy your own son.
00:20:28She's deranged.
00:20:29No.
00:20:31I'm not.
00:20:35So this is your wife?
00:20:37Wow, you really leveled up with me, huh?
00:20:39All those business trips.
00:20:43The weeks out of town.
00:20:45You were with them.
00:20:47Your other family.
00:20:49I had needs that you couldn't meet, but now that you know, we can move on for the sake of
00:20:55our family.
00:20:56Our family?
00:20:59Hey, Leo.
00:21:00Why don't you apologize to Tobias so we can end all this and go home?
00:21:05Don't tell my son what to do, and Tobias bullied Leo.
00:21:09So if anyone needs to apologize, it's your other son and you.
00:21:14Give it a rest, Peggy.
00:21:16Tobias is not apologizing.
00:21:18And neither is Carl.
00:21:20You should be on your knees thanking him for staying with you this long.
00:21:24He would have left you years ago if you wouldn't have been such a basket-case suicidal mess.
00:21:29Poor Carl.
00:21:31He was chained to this woman because she was emotionally manipulating him.
00:21:37That's what you told her?
00:21:39That I would kill myself if you left me?
00:21:41Well, that's true.
00:21:43You're just a sad housewife.
00:21:46And I'm the breadwinning CEO.
00:21:48You wouldn't even be any of those things if it weren't for me.
00:21:52Listen to yourself.
00:21:54You're grasping at straws.
00:21:56Let's see if you're smarter than your mother.
00:21:58Neal, beg, thank us for our mercy.
00:22:02Or we ruin you.
00:22:05Both of you.
00:22:07Do what is right for my son, or this will be very unpleasant for you.
00:22:14Do right by my son.
00:22:16Don't be dramatic.
00:22:18All Leo has to do is apologize to Tobias.
00:22:21It's not very hard, especially after everything I've done for you.
00:22:29If Goldleaf needs stability, Carl Whitman is your answer.
00:22:33Make him your CEO.
00:22:35But on one condition, he can never know that I'm the Oracle.
00:22:38I want him to believe that his success is on his own merit.
00:22:43Buddy, this ends now, okay?
00:22:46Apologize to your friend Tobias.
00:22:48He's not my friend.
00:22:51Fine.
00:22:52Then you and your mother will face the consequences.
00:22:56What consequences?
00:22:58I'm divorcing you.
00:23:00Right now.
00:23:04I'll give you one million dollars, and then Leo can leave Greenwood Elementary for good.
00:23:10And you can go back to Virginia.
00:23:15Hey.
00:23:17Everything will be fine, okay?
00:23:19You trust mommy, right?
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:23What?
00:23:24Is one million dollars not enough?
00:23:26Fine.
00:23:26Two million dollars.
00:23:28You'll never see that much money in your entire life.
00:23:33I don't need your money.
00:23:35And I don't need you.
00:23:46Parker!
00:23:47My son is getting bullied.
00:23:49It's your job to make sure it doesn't happen again, isn't it?
00:23:52What would you like me to do?
00:23:54Both boys should tell their sides of the story.
00:23:56Then let the parents decide who's at fault.
00:23:59I don't know.
00:24:00You do whatever Ingrid says.
00:24:02Yeah?
00:24:03Yeah.
00:24:03Good.
00:24:05Remember the script, sweetie?
00:24:07Nail this, and you get the iPad.
00:24:10Tobias is ready to tell the truth.
00:24:12Sup, loser.
00:24:13You gonna cry?
00:24:18Leo is a bully.
00:24:20He hit me because I wouldn't give him my lunch money.
00:24:25No.
00:24:27He said that his mom is poor, so he has to steal.
00:24:32And then he got so mad, he beat me.
00:24:36That dangerous little thug needs to be expelled.
00:24:41Tobias, are you sure that's what really happened?
00:24:45You know, lying to an adult could get you in a lot of trouble.
00:24:50Blow this.
00:24:51You're grounded until you're in puberty.
00:24:55I would never lie.
00:24:57I swear.
00:25:00Leo is the bully.
00:25:02Leo is the bully.
00:25:06You're so brave, sweetheart.
00:25:08Mommy's so proud of you.
00:25:10Your turn.
00:25:13I...
00:25:13I...
00:25:14What's that?
00:25:15I...
00:25:16Speak up.
00:25:19Guilty kids can't handle the pressure.
00:25:21Exactly.
00:25:22Because if he was innocent, he would stop mumbling and start talking.
00:25:27That's not...
00:25:28This is a sign of bad parenting and no discipline at home.
00:25:32He's rotten like his mother.
00:25:37Tobias, he...
00:25:38What's wrong?
00:25:39Cat got your tongue?
00:25:47Silence is a confession.
00:25:49He can't deny it.
00:25:50Expel him.
00:25:51Greenwood doesn't need scum like him.
00:25:54They're a problem.
00:25:56Jesus, you're just like your mother.
00:26:01Wait.
00:26:03Leo doesn't need to speak.
00:26:05Because we have ironclad proof that Tobias is lying.
00:26:16Daddy, hurry.
00:26:17Mommy's in trouble.
00:26:18We have ironclad proof that Tobias is lying.
00:26:23Enough with the lies, Peggy.

00:45:12security get this man out of my sight
00:45:15boys
00:45:20Hey, Ellie, what's wrong?
00:45:24There's someone out there.
00:45:39Is that Jefferson James?
00:45:41Founder of James Enterprise?
00:45:45Grandfather, what are you doing here?
00:45:48You don't get to call me that.
00:45:51What's going on?
00:45:52You don't have the authority to pull Goldleaf's funding.
00:45:55No authority. I'm a CEO.
00:45:57I built this company. I still control the board.
00:46:00The investment stands.
00:46:02Mr. Whitman was referred by Imperial Holdings.
00:46:05And that comes straight from the Oracle.
00:46:07Get your hands off me.
00:46:09Not so powerful, huh?
00:46:10Mason may not be powerful, but that all could change.
00:46:14Some in Davenport has reached out.
00:46:16She has interest in getting back together with you.
00:46:18She cheated on me. She abandoned my daughter.
00:46:21None of that matters in the long run.
00:46:23She comes from a rich and powerful family.
00:46:25And a merger between two businesses would put James Enterprises elevated.
00:46:31I'm not going to crawl back to someone who abandoned my daughter.
00:46:33No amount of power is worth that.
00:46:35You either marry her or I'll cut you off.
00:46:38And if you deny Summer, you can kiss that billion dollar investment with Imperial Holdings goodbye.
00:46:44I am not going to betray my daughter so that you and the Borg can buy another yacht.
00:46:49I can build an empire without hurting my family.
00:46:52Mason saved me when those PTA moms wanted to eat me alone.
00:46:56Now it's time I return the favor.
00:47:00I need my divorce with Carl finalized immediately.
00:47:04It'll be done before we hang up.
00:47:08You're single.
00:47:10You can remarry Summer.
00:47:12Actually, he's taken.
00:47:17Peggy, that's not the time to...
00:47:26You proposed to me yesterday.
00:47:30I'll be your wife.
00:47:33Who the hell are you?
00:47:36You're very bold inserting yourself here.
00:47:39Do you have any idea what power I have?
00:47:41Enough to threaten people, not enough to scare me.
00:47:45Talking back to Jefferson James.
00:47:47Who the hell do you think you are?
00:47:48She's using theatrics to distract us from her problem child.
00:47:53Let's remember what started all of this.
00:47:55Her son attacked mine.
00:47:57And you want to marry this woman?
00:47:59A negligent mother and an unruly son?
00:48:01That's not true.
00:48:02Oh, it absolutely is.
00:48:05Graduation is tomorrow.
00:48:07Your son won't walk across that stage.
00:48:10Not unless it's over my dead body.
00:48:13That unstable little psychopath can repeat the third grade somewhere else.
00:48:19We're leaving.
00:48:23Hey, don't worry about that, okay?
00:48:25I'm gonna protect you and Leo.
00:48:27No one has ever said that to me before.
00:48:29You won't be protecting anything.
00:48:31Mason, if you don't denounce this woman and do what you're told, I'll revoke your status as CEO.
00:48:37And you won't be a member of this family anymore.
00:48:48Peggy.
00:48:50Look, you are unlike any other woman I have ever met.
00:48:56But yesterday when I proposed to you, I had everything.
00:49:00Wealth.
00:49:01Power.
00:49:02Money.
00:49:03And now I'm at my lowest and I don't have any of those things.
00:49:06So I just want you to know that there's nothing you can gain from this marriage.
00:49:13I don't care about your title or your fortune.
00:49:17I just want you.
00:49:23I'm not leaving Peggy.
00:49:25She's my future wife.
00:49:30I'm suspending all your duties as CEO of James Enterprise.
00:49:34Are we clear?
00:49:36Understood.
00:49:38You're no grandson of mine.
00:49:40Come on.
00:49:41Let's go.
00:49:45Good luck getting that investment from Imperial Holdings.
00:50:00I took the liberty of packing your things.
00:50:03You're not welcome here anymore, Peggy.
00:50:06I took the liberty of packing your things.
00:50:08You're not welcome here anymore, Peggy.
00:50:10Ignore him.
00:50:13She's coming home with me.
00:50:14You're making a huge mistake with this washed up housewife.
00:50:18Carl, you're the one that's making the biggest mistake of your life.
00:50:21These empty lies will get you nowhere in this world, Peggy.
00:50:25And Mr. James throwing everything away for a gold digger?
00:50:29I mean, what's with that?
00:50:31That's rich, considering you spent all night begging me for money.
00:50:34But you honestly think she's worth it?
00:50:37Trust me, buddy.
00:50:38She'll bleed you dry and leave.
00:50:40That's all that she's good for.
00:50:44Do not talk about my wife like that.
00:50:49Come on.
00:50:51Let's go.
00:51:05Hey, are you all right?
00:51:08I will be.
00:51:10I think I just need a good night's sleep.
00:51:12Okay.
00:51:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:51:25I didn't know you were, uh...
00:51:28Wait.
00:51:28I can't wait up.
00:51:32I'm sorry.
00:51:34Ready?
00:51:52Take care.
00:52:00You better.
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:09Summer?
00:52:12I want you back, Mason.
00:52:14I made a mistake, and I want us to be a family.
00:52:19Let go of me.
00:52:20You had your chance.
00:52:21You didn't want a family, remember?
00:52:23I've changed my mind.
00:52:25Well, it's too late for that.
00:52:27Not so fast.
00:52:29A merger with my family will make James Enterprises untouchable.
00:52:33And I can secure your investment from Imperial Holdings.
00:52:37You can't walk away from this.
00:52:39You need me.
00:52:41Your family needs me.
00:52:43You left me.
00:52:44More importantly, you left our daughter.
00:52:47You don't deserve a second chance.
00:52:49Now get out of here, and don't come back.
00:52:52Oh.
00:52:55I see now.
00:52:56You've got yourself a dirty little side chick.
00:52:59Actually, I'm his wife.
00:53:07I'm his wife.
00:53:10His wife?
00:53:11And so much more than that.
00:53:14So, tread lightly.
00:53:16You are living a fantasy, darling.
00:53:19And the Jeffersons will never accept someone like you.
00:53:22If you don't take me back, I'll sue you for full custody of Ellie.
00:53:26And I'll win, because I'll have the best attorney in the country.
00:53:29Curse you of my family's ties to Imperial Holdings.
00:53:32That won't happen.
00:53:35Honey, you can drop the act.
00:53:37We know you don't have it in you.
00:53:40Make your choice.
00:53:42Take me back, or lose your daughter.
00:53:45I want you to get the fuck out of my house.
00:53:47Get out!
00:53:53You will not take my daughter!
00:54:00I cannot lose Ellie.
00:54:03Hey, look at me.
00:54:06She won't take her.
00:54:08Not from you.
00:54:10Not from us.
00:54:11I will not let that happen.
00:54:19Why do I feel so immense when you're by my side?
00:54:22Why?
00:54:23Why?
00:54:25Why?
00:54:50I need backup today.
00:54:52Backup? Oracle, it's just your son's graduation.
00:54:55Exactly. I want Imperial security on site.
00:54:58And bring compliance officers, too. I need proof.
00:55:03Understood.
00:55:04No, I may need additional support. Heavy hitters.
00:55:07Copy.
00:55:09Oh, and one more thing.
00:55:10I want Imperial Holdings to invest a billion dollars into Mason James directly, not James Enterprises.
00:55:18Understood.
00:55:20Peggy.
00:55:24Are you?
00:55:27Peggy.
00:55:30You ready to go?
00:55:31Yeah, I'm ready.
00:56:00They need to leave.
00:56:01Now!
00:56:06Don't worry. They can't get us out.
00:56:09Don't do this before it's become ugly.
00:56:13I want an expedited hearing.
00:56:15Today.
00:56:16That boy should be punished, not graduating.
00:56:20Leo's walking on that stage. That's non-negotiable.
00:56:23You can't keep throwing your power around.
00:56:25You're not CEO anymore.
00:56:28Still have more power than you.
00:56:33I don't know what to do.
00:56:48I demand you handle this right now.
00:56:51I demand you handle this right now.
00:56:54What the hell are you doing?
00:56:56Yes.
00:56:57Severt, I'll warn you once.
00:56:59You push this any further,
00:57:01and you won't like how it ends up.
00:57:04Who the hell do you think you are trying to intimidate me?
00:57:07I'm a Davenport.
00:57:08Oh, shit.
00:57:09Oh, Peggy.
00:57:11You are about to go down.
00:57:14Yeah, you know what?
00:57:16Let's set the record straight.
00:57:23I built your library.
00:57:27I funded your programs.
00:57:30And I paid your salary.
00:57:33What?
00:57:34And yet, still,
00:57:36you watched my son get bullied,
00:57:40blamed him,
00:57:41and then threatened to expel him.
00:57:43All because you're afraid of a PTA mom.
00:57:46Oh, Miss Whitman.
00:57:49No, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:51Oh, you're about to find out.
00:58:00Uh, hello?
00:58:05What do you mean I've been fired?
00:58:08Principal Alec Pauly,
00:58:09this call is to inform you
00:58:11that your position has been terminated
00:58:13by order of Imperial Holdings.
00:58:16How is that even possible?
00:58:18Let's just say the Davenports
00:58:20aren't the only ones with connections
00:58:22to Imperial Holdings.
00:58:25Very funny.
00:58:26This is a prank.
00:58:27It has to be.
00:58:29Sir, your access credentials
00:58:30have been revoked.
00:58:32Security is on the way
00:58:33to escort you off campus.
00:58:34I've been principal here
00:58:35for two decades.
00:58:37There must be some kind of mistake.
00:58:39We don't need him to finish this.
00:58:42You were always expendable.
00:58:44I'll be taking this directly
00:58:46to the school board.
00:58:47After everything the PTA
00:58:48has done for this school,
00:58:49they owe me.
00:58:52They're on their way.
00:58:54And when they arrive,
00:58:56Leo Whitman will be expelled
00:58:57once and for all.
00:58:59After they expel your bastard child,
00:59:02Mason will be mine.
00:59:06You already lost.
00:59:08You just don't know it yet.
00:59:18President Bolton,
00:59:20that boy, Leo Whitman,
00:59:21needs to be expelled immediately.
00:59:23I don't want him anywhere near my alley.
00:59:26Jefferson James,
00:59:27what a pleasure.
00:59:28Hello, sir.
00:59:30That boy and his mother
00:59:31must be removed.
00:59:32Well, if Jefferson James
00:59:34has a concern about a student,
00:59:36I trust it's well-founded.
00:59:39You're being misled.
00:59:41Please,
00:59:42the Poor Single Mom Act
00:59:43isn't going to save you now.
00:59:45You know what, Ingrid?
00:59:46I think you've run your mouth
00:59:48long enough.
00:59:49I think it's time
00:59:50I tell all of you
00:59:51who I really am.
00:59:55This is the district's
00:59:57endowment renewal contract
00:59:59executed and funded
01:00:01by Imperial Holdings.
01:00:06Imperial Holdings.
01:00:07Please,
01:00:08if the Oracle ever hears these lies,
01:00:10this bitch is dead.
01:00:11Please.
01:00:16This is real.
01:00:18Where did you get it?
01:00:20I didn't get it.
01:00:21I wrote it.
01:00:24She forged it.
01:00:25That is a crime.
01:00:27Arrest her right now.
01:00:29No need.
01:00:31Check the bottle.
01:00:33You can verify it.
01:00:38But they match.
01:00:41Well, that doesn't prove anything.
01:00:44Actually,
01:00:44it means everything.
01:00:50Signatures can be forged.
01:00:52How gullible are you people?
01:00:59I don't know what game
01:01:01you are playing,
01:01:02but there is no proof
01:01:04that you actually did this.
01:01:06Now, I thought you might say that.
01:01:09You agree with Imperial Holdings?
01:01:19This is the chain of custody
01:01:21verification letter.
01:01:22Now, I suggest you read it carefully.
01:01:24It confirms the authenticity
01:01:25of the endowment renewal contract
01:01:27and verifies Peggy Whitman
01:01:29is the only authorized
01:01:31Imperial signatory.
01:01:35is this legitimate open it check for yourself
01:01:42this means nothing anyone can print fancy stationery
01:01:46i mean right everyone don't buy into this fraud
01:01:53i mean we all know that peggy is a liar and a cheat right phoebe
01:02:02this woman is using imperial holdings without the oracle's permission you should take her away
