00:00:00Welcome aboard flight 233 to New York City.
00:00:05Wi-Fi is now available.
00:00:07We wish you a pleasant journey.
00:00:12Lady Thunder, your fiancé graduates from Stanford today.
00:00:16As requested, we've secured him a partner track offer at Whitmore.
00:00:19His celebration dinner's all set. It starts once you land.
00:00:22Noted. Good work, Adam.
00:00:24Also, Sebastian Whitmore from the Whitmore Group has been quietly coding us for investment.
00:00:29Send me the deck.
00:00:41Parker, just tell my grandma I'm not marrying the Caldwell girl.
00:00:45Boss, the Caldwells are our shot at the Thunder Circle. It's a trillion dollar powerhouse.
00:00:49Your grandma sees this marriage as the golden ticket. We can't afford to say no.
00:00:52So now I'm just being auctioned off into a loveless marriage?
00:00:55That's not fair to me or to her.
00:00:57The Caldwell family already surpassed us in market share.
00:00:59Unless you marry someone else.
00:01:01Marry someone else.
00:01:07Uh, that button calls the crew?
00:01:10Oh, thanks.
00:01:11First time flying commercial?
00:01:13Yeah.
00:01:13Yeah. I'm used to something a bit different.
00:01:16My private plane doesn't have buttons. I talk, and they show up.
00:01:21Lady Thunder, the chef's prepared your favorites. Seared scallops and the blueberry turk from Zurich.
00:01:32What did you do in Africa?
00:01:34Just some volunteer stuff. Built shelters, took care of kids.
00:01:37Oh, wow. That's pretty cool.
00:01:40She probably didn't make a cent doing that.
00:01:41But the way she talks about it, like it mattered, she must be one of those rare genius people.
00:01:46Maybe...
00:01:48I'm Sebastian, by the way.
00:01:50Eleanor.
00:01:53Well, Eleanor, this might sound totally insane, but would you mind doing me a favor?
00:01:59What favor?
00:02:00Let me introduce myself properly.
00:02:02I'm the CEO of Whitmore Group, a hair to Whitmore's fortune.
00:02:06I own five properties and two private estates.
00:02:08Annual income, one billion dollars.
00:02:10And I want you to be my wife.
00:02:16I'm sorry, what?
00:02:17I mean, a fake marriage, just for a year.
00:02:19I need someone good to play my wife.
00:02:21And you seem... kind.
00:02:25I see. You're clinically insane.
00:02:27I'm serious, Eleanor. You can trust me.
00:02:30I have no scandals, no addictions, nothing shady in my past.
00:02:33If you agree, we can sign the paperwork today.
00:02:35And I'll offer $100,000 a month, plus a waterfront of Condon Midtown, in your name only.
00:02:41You really picked the wrong girl.
00:02:43Already taken. I'm flying back to get married.
00:02:46Oh.
00:02:49I didn't see that coming. I...
00:02:51Sorry.
00:02:54So that's it.
00:02:56Guess I just have to suck it up.
00:02:59You don't seem that helpless to me.
00:03:01Your AI subsidiary under Whitmore Group, it's got potential.
00:03:04The Thunder Circle's watching it.
00:03:06But if that's your pitch deck to win them over, you're toast.
00:03:09Oh, really?
00:03:10And what would you know about it?
00:03:12You don't get how the business world works, little girl.
00:03:15Funny coming from the guy who just proposed to that little girl five minutes ago.
00:03:27We might not be getting married, but I can still help you.
00:03:31Hey, what are you doing?
00:03:35Fixing your pitch.
00:03:36You're asking for $100 million?
00:03:38Cute.
00:03:39Try $100 billion.
00:03:40Excuse me.
00:03:41What?
00:03:44There.
00:03:45That's better.
00:03:47What the hell did you just do?
00:03:48You sent that.
00:03:49You actually sent it?
00:03:50You were underselling yourself.
00:03:52You hijacked my pitch.
00:03:54Do you have any idea what you've just done?
00:03:56I helped you.
00:03:57Helped?
00:03:58You call this helping?
00:04:00Sir, ma'am, is everything all right?
00:04:02We're good.
00:04:03He just got a $100 billion investment.
00:04:05He's a bit emotional.
00:04:07Emotional.
00:04:09Well, congratulations.
00:04:12Trust me.
00:04:12The Thunder Circle doesn't make small moves.
00:04:15Asking for $100 million, that's an insult.
00:04:17$100 billion, that's where the conversation starts.
00:04:21You really need to think bigger.
00:04:22Did you seriously just say that?
00:04:24You're welcome.
00:04:25Great.
00:04:25First, you messed with my file.
00:04:27Then you humiliated me in public.
00:04:29Congratulations.
00:04:29You're officially the most infuriating woman I ever met.
00:04:31Lucky we're not married, huh?
00:04:34I still can't tell who's saving who.
00:04:43Please remain seated until the aircraft has come to a complete stop.
00:04:53Help a guy land a billion dollar deal and he doesn't even say thank you.
00:04:56Please.
00:04:57Daniel would never.
00:04:59Five years apart.
00:05:00He must be surprised if he sees me.
00:05:04You sure about this?
00:05:05Africa's far.
00:05:06It's not just a trip.
00:05:07I'm going to change the world, Dan.
00:05:09You always knew that was the dream.
00:05:13Here.
00:05:15When you come back, we'll get married.
00:05:32My boy, look at this.
00:05:34An entire party just for you.
00:05:37Whitmore Group doesn't do this for just anyone.
00:05:39We've officially made it.
00:05:41It's just the beginning, Mom.
00:05:43You know, my dream is to become someone like Sebastian Whitmore, the CEO.
00:05:49But he's a mystery.
00:05:51Never appears in public.
00:05:54Assuming I'll see him today.
00:05:56After all these years of my funding, Daniel's finally made it.
00:06:01A PhD, partner at Whitmore Group.
00:06:04It's time to let him know my real identity and start our sweet life.
00:06:21Is that Eleanor?
00:06:23Isn't she begging for life abroad?
00:06:25What the hell is she doing here?
00:06:34Daniel.
00:06:37Congratulations.
00:06:39Eleanor.
00:06:40I heard about the offer.
00:06:42I thought I'd surprise you.
00:06:44Why are you here?
00:06:45I flew back.
00:06:46For you.
00:06:47Let me guess.
00:06:48You heard about his Whitmore offer, the salary, and you decided to claw your way back.
00:06:52What?
00:06:52Don't act surprised.
00:06:55Five years you vanished.
00:06:57The second he makes partner, you show up with discount flowers and a name that means nothing.
00:07:03You shouldn't have come, Eleanor.
00:07:05This, whatever we were, it's over.
00:07:09What?
00:07:10Let's break up.
00:07:14But why?
00:07:16We spent five years building towards this.
00:07:19You, you said you loved me.
00:07:22You thought Daniel would love you?
00:07:24Don't be absurd.
00:07:25My son has a PhD.
00:07:27He's just made partner at Whitmore.
00:07:29Or pulling in 30 million a year.
00:07:31And you?
00:07:32You vanished to Africa and worked there as a nanny.
00:07:35Do you really think that makes you worthy of him?
00:07:37My mom is right.
00:07:39We're not the same anymore.
00:07:40Not the same.
00:07:41Look around.
00:07:42This is the party Whitmore threw for me.
00:07:44These people?
00:07:45Legacy investors.
00:07:47Real powers.
00:07:48And you think I could introduce them to an embarrassment?
00:07:51I'm an embarrassment.
00:07:53So that's what this did to you.
00:07:55One offer from Whitmore.
00:07:57And you think you're untouchable.
00:08:00Did you know, Daniel?
00:08:01To me, the Whitmore group is nothing.
00:08:03You arrogant little cockroach.
00:08:05How dare you look down on the top firm in this country?
00:08:09You want to know why Whitmore gave?
00:08:12Because someone vouched for you.
00:08:14Someone they'd never dare ignore.
00:08:16You that offer?
00:08:18And that someone?
00:08:20Was me.
00:08:29I'm sorry, what?
00:08:30Confirmed.
00:08:31Are you sure?
00:08:32Okay, thank you.
00:08:35Mr. Wiltford, you're not going to believe this.
00:08:37The Thunder Circle just approved a direct investment in us.
00:08:40Say what?
00:08:41One hundred billion dollars.
00:08:44What?
00:08:44It's Lady Thunder's move, you know?
00:08:46The ghost chairwoman who runs the Thunder Circle.
00:08:48It's her first formal return to the States.
00:08:50And we're her first target.
00:08:51We got it.
00:08:52A hundred billion.
00:08:53But if that's your pitch deck to win them over?
00:08:56She was right.
00:08:57It's one hundred billion.
00:09:01Parker, find her.
00:09:02The woman from the Nairobi flight.
00:09:04Eleanor.
00:09:05I don't care what it takes.
00:09:06Find her.
00:09:08Understood.
00:09:10But what do you want with her?
00:09:12I'm going to marry her.
00:09:13Wait, what?
00:09:15I've never seen a challenging girl like he.
00:09:18She is the one I want.
00:09:22You self-important bitch!
00:09:24Who the hell do you think you are?
00:09:27I get it, Eleanor.
00:09:28You're not upset about the breakup.
00:09:29You're just pissed of all the money you poured into me.
00:09:32Just name your number.
00:09:33Once I get my first check from Whitmore, I'll pay you off.
00:09:36And then we're done.
00:09:37For good.
00:09:38Is that what you think?
00:09:40That I'm here chasing the money I gave you?
00:09:44Let's settle up.
00:09:46How about a hundred grand?
00:09:49Two hundred.
00:09:53Three.
00:09:55Daniel.
00:09:56That's my final offer.
00:09:57Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.
00:10:00That's more than you've ever seen.
00:10:02You still think I came here for money?
00:10:04Just take it and go.
00:10:05My son should have dropped you ages ago.
00:10:08God knows what you were really doing over Sears.
00:10:10What do you mean?
00:10:12I mean, if you weren't selling yourself, how else could you afford to fund his education?
00:10:16You expect me to believe you earned that kind of money by nannying children?
00:10:19What?
00:10:20How dare you?
00:10:21Eleanor.
00:10:21For the sake of our seven years together, just take the money and leave.
00:10:25Daniel, I can't believe how heartless you are.
00:10:28He's done with you.
00:10:29Can't you get that through your thick head?
00:10:32She's not worth your time.
00:10:34Oh, where's Margaret?
00:10:35Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:10:37Yeah.
00:10:37Said she had something to handle first.
00:10:39Should be here soon.
00:10:40Margaret.
00:10:40Margaret.
00:10:41Daughter of James West, vice chair of Whitmore.
00:10:43Practically next in line after Sebastian.
00:10:46Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:10:48Rich, properly pedigreed.
00:10:50And you, you're just a misstep he should have never taken.
00:10:54Eleanor, Margaret's on her way.
00:10:55You should leave.
00:10:56Trust me.
00:10:57You don't want to be here when she walks in.
00:11:01Because the moment you see her, you'll be ashamed of yourself.
00:11:07Now I see it.
00:11:08You didn't just break up with me because of the job.
00:11:10It was because of her.
00:11:12Margaret.
00:11:12At least with her, I can build something bigger.
00:11:15Really?
00:11:16And you're so sure I couldn't help you build something better than anything she could?
00:11:19You, please.
00:11:22So, you actually think you're better than me?
00:11:25Margaret, my dear, you're here.
00:11:28Let me guess.
00:11:30You're Eleanor.
00:11:31Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:11:33You look exactly how I pictured.
00:11:35Bargain box dress, basic face, still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:11:39Oh, don't mind her.
00:11:41She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:11:42Just a pathetic shadow tagging along.
00:11:45So, you seriously thought you could compete with me?
00:11:48I'm Margaret West, daughter of James West, vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:11:52And you, you're not even worth the dirt under my heel.
00:11:54You're right.
00:11:55Because unlike you, I don't have to cling to Daddy's title to matter.
00:11:58Ex-
00:11:59Excuse me?
00:12:00A piece of trash like you dares to talk back?
00:12:02Get out.
00:12:03Now.
00:12:03Before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:12:06Exactly.
00:12:06This is a ceremony for elites, not beggars.
00:12:12What the hell is going on here?
00:12:17Margaret, is everything all right?
00:12:20Why don't you ask her?
00:12:21She got dumped by Daniel, and now she's crashing his party.
00:12:24Dr. Prescott is our new partner, handpicked by Mr. Whitmore himself.
00:12:28Whatever this is, you're way out of line.
00:12:31Exactly.
00:12:31Look around.
00:12:32These aren't just normal guests, Mr. Cooper.
00:12:35This is Whitmore's A-Team.
00:12:37CEOs, professionals.
00:12:38The people who run this city.
00:12:40And then there's her.
00:12:42Some college dropout who thinks raise children in Africa is a career.
00:12:46I was running a charity.
00:12:47Oh, so that's what we're calling unemployment now.
00:12:52Charity?
00:12:53Honey, just say you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:12:57We all know why she's here.
00:12:59Chasing my son, hoping him will drag her out of the gutter.
00:13:02So she's a gold digger.
00:13:04That's pathetic.
00:13:06Next time you want to play elite, try finishing college first.
00:13:09You hear that?
00:13:10This is reality.
00:13:11My son, a PhD future partner.
00:13:14You!
00:13:15Just the mud on his shoes.
00:13:20Now crawl back to the shack you came from.
00:13:23Your fairy tale is over.
00:13:31Eleanor, a woman can be broke or uneducated.
00:13:34But delusional, that's where I draw the line.
00:13:37No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:13:41Funny.
00:13:42You want to know my biggest mistake, Daniel?
00:13:44Believing in you.
00:13:46Seven years.
00:13:47Seven years of working, wiring money when you couldn't pay rent or tuition.
00:13:52And this is how it ends.
00:13:53Don't twist this.
00:13:54Stop acting like I forced you.
00:13:55I don't need to twist anything.
00:13:57I bankrolled your PhD.
00:13:59Helped land your offer at Whitmore.
00:14:00And you dropped me the second you made it upstairs.
00:14:03I told you.
00:14:03I'd pay you back.
00:14:04What more do you want?
00:14:05You think this was a transaction.
00:14:07That's not remorse, Daniel.
00:14:09That's cowardice wrapped in a check.
00:14:15We're done.
00:14:17You ungrateful little...
00:14:21That's enough!
00:14:22I'm done with your tantrums!
00:14:24Get the fuck out of my life!
00:14:26God, look at her.
00:14:28So desperate.
00:14:30Someone get her a towel.
00:14:31Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:14:34All right, lady, that's enough.
00:14:36Dr. Priscot's an asset to Whitmore.
00:14:38And you, you just humiliated yourself.
00:14:40Get out.
00:14:42We found Eleanor, sir.
00:14:43Where?
00:14:44She's inside Whitmore HQ at the Prescott welcome event.
00:14:48Sounds like things are getting ugly.
00:14:50Dr. Prescott, quick.
00:14:51Head to the company now.
00:14:56See that?
00:14:57Everyone here knows you're humiliating yourself.
00:15:00Just leave, Eleanor, before this gets worse for you.
00:15:02Worse?
00:15:02What, because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:15:05You want to be the circus act?
00:15:06Fine, but don't expect me to save you when this all blows up in your face.
00:15:10Save me.
00:15:11That's rich.
00:15:12You don't have that right.
00:15:14You never did.
00:15:15Final warning.
00:15:16Walk out on your own or I'll have security drag you out.
00:15:18Go ahead.
00:15:19Call your guards.
00:15:20But let's be clear.
00:15:20I walked into this building because I have every right to be here.
00:15:24And none of you has the power to push me out.
00:15:28Not even Sebastian.
00:15:31Faster.
00:15:32I don't care what it takes.
00:15:33Get me to her.
00:15:33Now.
00:15:34Yes, sir.
00:15:47Eleanor, do you have any idea what the name Sebastian Whitfield means?
00:15:50Wow.
00:15:51You're even dumber than I thought.
00:15:53You just insulted the man who built this empire.
00:15:55Even my father wouldn't dare challenge him.
00:15:58But you?
00:15:59You're so done.
00:16:01So, in your world, Sebastian Whitfield might be untouchable.
00:16:05But in mine, he's just a man.
00:16:08I'd be more worried if I were you.
00:16:09Because you put a hand on me, he might have a bigger problem with you.
00:16:12You must have a death wish.
00:16:13Eleanor, I get that the breakup hurt.
00:16:15But now, you're spiraling.
00:16:16Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that, I was actually going to get you a janitor job here.
00:16:22You were going to recommend me for a janitor position.
00:16:25Do you know how competitive it is just to work here?
00:16:27Even our security guards have degrees.
00:16:29And you didn't even finish yours.
00:16:32So that's how you've always seen me?
00:16:33That's reality.
00:16:34And after everything, trust me, Whitmore has no place for you.
00:16:38I never needed your recommendation.
00:16:41And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me,
00:16:43why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:17:02Where is she?
00:17:08Conference hall.
00:17:09It's tense.
00:17:10From what I heard, she and Daniel Prescott were involved.
00:17:13He dumped her.
00:17:16They broke up.
00:17:17Well, that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiance.
00:17:29What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:17:30Seriously, trying to crash and burn in public?
00:17:33I'll tell you what it is.
00:17:34She couldn't keep you, so now she wants to drag you down with her.
00:17:38Ugh, pathetic ex-revenge.
00:17:40Don't worry, Daniel.
00:17:41I've got you.
00:17:43Margaret's father is the vice chair.
00:17:45With their support, whatever stunt she's pulling ends.
00:17:49Trust me, and once Mr. Whitmore shows up, she's got maybe five minutes left.
00:17:52I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:17:54Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:17:57Was it?
00:17:57Because when the truth comes out,
00:17:59you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:18:05What? Mr. Whitmore just arrived?
00:18:09Mr. Whitmore, he came straight from the airport.
00:18:12He's in the lobby now.
00:18:13Wait, he actually came?
00:18:16Oh, my God!
00:18:18He came to support Daniel!
00:18:21You hear that?
00:18:22Sebastian Whitmore is here for my son!
00:18:25This is it.
00:18:26No one can touch us now.
00:18:28Hear that, sweetheart?
00:18:29Whitney Group doesn't take in strays.
00:18:32Get out while you still have legs to walk on.
00:18:36Here's your last chance.
00:18:38Half a million dollars.
00:18:39Half a million?
00:18:40For her?
00:18:41It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:18:44Take the money, Eleanor.
00:18:45Disappear.
00:18:47That's more than you'll see in ten lifetimes.
00:18:50Be smart.
00:18:51Take it.
00:18:51And vanish.
00:18:57You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:19:00But when you know who I am,
00:19:02you'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:19:06Shit.
00:19:08Hell.
00:19:10You dare humiliate me!
00:19:15You really think you're someone now?
00:19:19Someone's gonna change everything.
00:19:21Ben, make your little and L announcement.
00:19:23But if it's bullshit,
00:19:25you'll be crawling out of here,
00:19:26kissing every shoe in this room.
00:19:28Oh, come on.
00:19:29This low-status nobody
00:19:31doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes here.
00:19:33Maybe it's beautiful.
00:19:36This middle school wonder how cool works.
00:19:38This condition was yeah.
00:19:48Don't cry.
00:19:49Don't cry.
00:19:51Don't cry.
00:19:55Don't cry.
00:19:57Don't cry.
00:20:01You're ou ruby from there.
00:20:06She's my wife.
00:20:09Is that status high enough for you?
00:20:12Mr. Whitmore!
00:20:15They did this to you.
00:20:17It's okay. Just a few flies buzzing.
00:20:19Also, I don't recall saying yes to that little proposal on the plane.
00:20:24I never regret the words I mean.
00:20:26So now, let me take out the trash.
00:20:29Who the hell are you, storming in like this?
00:20:34Did you not hear me the first time? I'm Eleanor's husband.
00:20:38This woman right here. She's my wife.
00:20:48What? Mr. Whitmore married?
00:20:50But he's never always kept his distance from me?
00:20:52Oh, God. I'm dead. I'm so dead.
00:20:55You said she's your wife, Eleanor, you shameless bitch.
00:20:58You strung my son along for years and then what?
00:21:00Snick off to marry someone else behind his back?
00:21:02So Eleanor was already married. She was never in it for you.
00:21:05She was just after your money.
00:21:06Was this your game the whole time, Eleanor?
00:21:08Playing me while sleeping with another man?
00:21:09Don't twist it. You know exactly who betrayed him.
00:21:12She's right. You don't even realize what you threw away.
00:21:14Eleanor's a brilliant woman. You were never even close to being worthy of her.
00:21:17Are you saying my son's not good enough for this hooker?
00:21:19He's a PhD on a 3.5 million partner offer.
00:21:22Watch your mouth.
00:21:23Please.
00:21:24Eleanor just crawled back with nothing and now you want us to believe she has a husband?
00:21:28Let me guess. She hired you, right?
00:21:30Hired a pretty face to play the loving husband and save your pride.
00:21:35What? You're saying she brought in an actor?
00:21:38I mean, look at him.
00:21:39Designer coat, sexy look, total escort vibes.
00:21:42No way she pulled a guy like that on her own.
00:21:47Exactly. She probably paid for the full fantasy package.
00:21:51Who knows? Maybe he throws in a few extra services, too.
00:21:56Oh, God. That's Mr. Whitmore.
00:21:59She just called the CEO a gigolo.
00:22:01Dr. Prextot, maybe this isn't the time to...
00:22:04Oh, Uncle Tomas.
00:22:05He probably works at some private club in Soho.
00:22:08She hired him by the hour.
00:22:10Let's not kid ourselves.
00:22:12Margaret, you can't just...
00:22:13Relax, Uncle Tomas.
00:22:16This cheap street escort doesn't belong at Whitmore.
00:22:21But St. Eleanor dragged him in.
00:22:24Nobody's blaming us.
00:22:25Oh, you don't understand. This is...
00:22:27Really, Eleanor?
00:22:29You think hiring a cowboy makes you look powerful?
00:22:31It just screams pathetic.
00:22:33Exactly, you pathetic social climber.
00:22:36Take your filthy man and get the hell out of here.
00:22:38Please, stop. You have no idea what...
00:22:41Uncle Tomas!
00:22:42What's gotten into you today?
00:22:44Why so fussy?
00:22:45It's just a washed-up babysitter and her rented boy toy.
00:22:48I'll deal with them. Don't say another word.
00:22:53You want to keep up the fantasy?
00:22:55Good, but by the time this night's over,
00:22:57you'll both be finished.
00:23:00You think this is pretend?
00:23:02Still clinging to the drama?
00:23:04No offense, pretty boy, but if she can afford you, so can I.
00:23:12What's the rate?
00:23:13Whatever she paid, I'll give you ten times that if you strip for the room.
00:23:17Oh, God.
00:23:19No.
00:23:20No.
00:23:20They're dead.
00:23:21They're also dead.
00:23:23Say that again.
00:23:25You heard him.
00:23:26Ten times the rate.
00:23:29Oh, and let Uncle Tomas have a peek, too.
00:23:32Ever seen a male stripper before?
00:23:34No, no, Margaret.
00:23:35I want no part of this.
00:23:37Oh, come on.
00:23:37Don't be shy.
00:23:38Just enjoy the Bachelor show.
00:23:43So, you're going to give us a twirl, pretty boy?
00:23:49Daniel, Margaret, you have no idea the line you just crossed.
00:23:53Then stop faking.
00:23:54If you pretend to be someone's wife, don't cry when people call you what you are.
00:23:57All right, call boy.
00:23:59Ten times, name your price.
00:24:02Oh!
00:24:03Oh!
00:24:10Watch your damn mouth!
00:24:13How dare you hit my son!
00:24:16Baby, are you all right?
00:24:18I'm going to kill that bastard.
00:24:20Are you insane?
00:24:21Do you even know who you laid your hands on?
00:24:23I don't care who you are.
00:24:24You don't ever speak about me and my wife like that again.
00:24:28You two are dead.
00:24:30You let some call boy punch a senior candidate, no one will save you now.
00:24:35You just declared war on yourself.
00:24:37You have no idea who Margaret's father is.
00:24:42Is that supposed to scare us?
00:24:44Let her talk.
00:24:46I'm curious who she thinks I should be afraid of.
00:24:49My father is the vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:24:52Even Sebastian has to respect him.
00:24:53And you two just flushed your future down the boiler basin.
00:25:06Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:25:08That seat's for Sebastian Whitmore.
00:25:09Who do you think you are?
00:25:10Exactly.
00:25:11No one else dares sit here.
00:25:12That's why it fits me.
00:25:17Tomas, you recognize the seat, don't you?
00:25:21Do you think I belong here?
00:25:23Of course, sir.
00:25:25Of course you do.
00:25:28Are you all blind?
00:25:29That chair belongs to Mr. Whitmore.
00:25:32No one sits there except him or my father.
00:25:35So how dare you park your dumpy ass there?
00:25:38Funny.
00:25:38I'm sitting and I won't move.
00:25:40Got a problem?
00:25:41You want to pretend to be a big shot?
00:25:43Fine.
00:25:44I'll give you one last chance.
00:25:47Crawl off that chair like a little dog and beg with Eleanor.
00:25:52Maybe then I'll consider not destroying your life.
00:25:55Beg you?
00:25:56You get on your knees, bark, and crawl a lap around the room in front of everyone.
00:26:01That's the price for daring to challenge us.
00:26:04You hear that?
00:26:05You and your boy can bark together.
00:26:07Very romantic.
00:26:08You're playing with fire.
00:26:10No, sweetheart, I am the fire.
00:26:13Come on, kneel.
00:26:15Three seconds.
00:26:16That's all you've got.
00:26:17One.
00:26:21You bitch!
00:26:24Margaret, please, don't.
00:26:27Get your hands off me!
00:26:29They hit you!
00:26:29You think I'm letting that slide?
00:26:31You don't understand.
00:26:33He's...
00:26:33I don't care if she's the Queen of England.
00:26:35I am hitting that bitch!
00:26:37Margaret, you really should apologize.
00:26:41What?
00:26:44Yeah, you might want to walk this back, Miss West.
00:26:47It's not too late to apologize.
00:26:49Just think about it.
00:26:51Are you out of your minds apologizing to these nobodies?
00:26:54Please?
00:26:57Yes.
00:26:58For your own good.
00:27:00Shut up.
00:27:01The only reason I ever called you uncle was because of my dad.
00:27:05Now I get humiliated, and you want me to apologize?
00:27:08I'm trying to protect you, Margaret.
00:27:09You have no idea what you're stepping into.
00:27:11Get out of my way.
00:27:11I'm calling my father.
00:27:13Let's see who ends up crawling when he gets here.
00:27:15Don't call him.
00:27:16Let her.
00:27:17I'd love to see what James West plans to do to me.
00:27:20Dad, I'm at the meeting floor.
00:27:22Some bitch just slapped me in front of everyone.
00:27:25Get down here.
00:27:26Now.
00:27:27He's on his way.
00:27:28And when he gets here, you're both done.
00:27:30Eleanor, Margaret's father, Mr. West, is second only to Sebastian in this company.
00:27:33He's coming now.
00:27:34This time, you're finished.
00:27:36Not even I can help you.
00:27:37Help them, please.
00:27:39They brought this on themselves.
00:27:41She and her boy toy need to be crushed fast.
00:27:45Well, Daniel, you don't get to save me.
00:27:48In my world, you're nothing.
00:27:50Still bluffing?
00:27:51Let's see how hard you cry when Mr. West shows up.
00:27:59Who the hell is hitting my daughter right in my company?
00:28:07Dad!
00:28:08Thank God you're here.
00:28:09I thought this was supposed to be a welcome event for Dr. Prescott.
00:28:12What the hell happened here?
00:28:13It's not my fault.
00:28:15There's a woman here making a scene.
00:28:17She slapped me.
00:28:19Look.
00:28:19That's insane.
00:28:20Who the hell has the nerve to hit my daughter?
00:28:22Did you tell her who I am?
00:28:23Of course I did.
00:28:24They didn't care.
00:28:25And worse, her cowboy husband marched right in here and sat in Sebastian Whitman's chair.
00:28:29It's true, Vice Chair.
00:28:31That woman and her man, completely out of line.
00:28:34Mr. West, actually, there's something you should...
00:28:39Shut up, you fool.
00:28:40You stood by while someone assaulted my daughter in my building.
00:28:44Mr. West, please.
00:28:45You don't understand.
00:28:46That man, he's Mr. Whitwell.
00:28:48You dare bring up Mr. Whitwell.
00:28:50Dr. Prescott was hired by him.
00:28:52And this is what you allow here.
00:28:54On the very day Mr. Whitwell returns?
00:28:56No, I...
00:29:04You two.
00:29:05You're the one stirring up trouble.
00:29:06That's right.
00:29:08Him.
00:29:09He's Eleanor's fake husband.
00:29:11And she's the one who caused trouble here.
00:29:13Mr. West, my son used to date Eleanor, but that ended a long time ago.
00:29:17He's got nothing to do with any of this today.
00:29:19Relax.
00:29:20Dr. Preston was personally chosen by Mr. Whitemore.
00:29:22He won't be held responsible.
00:29:24Oh, thank you, Mr. West.
00:29:26Dear that, my dad's here.
00:29:28He runs this place, right under Sebastian.
00:29:31You're finished.
00:29:33What happened to all that attitude?
00:29:35Hiding behind a chair now when a real boss is in the room?
00:29:39You really have no idea what's coming.
00:29:41You've completely lost it.
00:29:44You dragged in some random escort to play your husband,
00:29:47and now he's sitting in Mr. Whitmore's chair,
00:29:49too scared to even turn around.
00:29:50Hey, you.
00:29:51Get your ass out of that chair before this turns ugly.
00:29:54Someone turn that damn chair.
00:29:55I want to see the clown's face.
00:29:57With pleasure.
00:30:03Daniel, if I were you, I wouldn't touch that chair,
00:30:06because once you do, your little career crumbles.
00:30:09Is that supposed to scare me?
00:30:10Just a fact.
00:30:11He's not someone you want to cross.
00:30:13My father's the vice chair of Whitmore.
00:30:15The only one outranking him is Sebastian.
00:30:18And you're telling me we should be afraid of your little toy boy sitting there?
00:30:23You think we're scared of the guy you found in a nightclub?
00:30:26Please.
00:30:26These two think they're running some drama box show.
00:30:29Let's be honest.
00:30:30Trash is trash, and everyone here knows it.
00:30:33Eleanor, maybe all those years of poverty fried your brain.
00:30:36You should know Mr. West is not someone you can afford to afford.
00:30:38Oh, really?
00:30:39And why's that?
00:30:40Because you're a nobody.
00:30:41Mr. West could have you and your husband crippled before lunch.
00:30:44Funny.
00:30:45You all love to talk about who's finished.
00:30:47But when that chair turns, we'll all see who's really done for.
00:30:53You're saying Mr. West is the one in trouble?
00:30:55You've truly lost your fucking mind since our breakup.
00:30:58Well, this is new.
00:31:00I've never had some little girl tell me my end is near.
00:31:02You've got guts.
00:31:04But guts don't save you when you pisses me off.
00:31:17Let me show you what happens when your little husband pretends his way into Whitmore.
00:31:25Right.
00:31:26Breaking their legs isn't enough.
00:31:27Better to toss them out of the country for good.
00:31:29That's exactly what I plan to do.
00:31:31Turn that damn chair around, or I'll do it myself.
00:31:33Mr. West, please.
00:31:34You can't.
00:31:35He's not just...
00:31:36Why the hell not?
00:31:36They deserve it.
00:31:38I just don't understand.
00:31:39Why is everyone so scared?
00:31:41They even asked me to apologize.
00:31:44What?
00:31:44Apologize to them?
00:31:46Well, since you're all so desperate to meet him...
00:31:50Sebastian, mind saying hello?
00:31:53Let's not keep them waiting.
00:31:56That voice.
00:31:58No.
00:31:59It can't be.
00:32:01Stop pretending.
00:32:03Just turn around.
00:32:17You thought that would scare me?
00:32:19I turned the chair.
00:32:20So now what?
00:32:23No.
00:32:25No way.
00:32:27You want to see me, James West?
00:32:29Mr. Whitmore.
00:32:30Dad, no need to call Mr. Whitmore.
00:32:32He'll be here any minute.
00:32:33Once he came, these two idiots were dead.
00:32:35Eleanor, this is your last chance.
00:32:38Before Mr. Whitmore arrives, beg.
00:32:42You might walk away.
00:32:43I won't beg anyone.
00:32:45But you?
00:32:46You can start practicing your apologies now.
00:32:48You!
00:32:49Stop wasting breath.
00:32:51If they want to burn, let them.
00:32:58See that, Eleanor?
00:32:59Your fantasy is over.
00:33:02My dad is here now.
00:33:04He'll...
00:33:04He'll kill you all.
00:33:06Get up, call boy, before you lose your precious ass that helps you earn life.
00:33:11Shut up.
00:33:14Dad, what are you shaking?
00:33:16Oh, I get it.
00:33:18You're going to throw them out before Sebastian arrives.
00:33:20Perfect.
00:33:21Do it.
00:33:22You see that?
00:33:23My dad's hand shakes when he's pissed.
00:33:26The more it shakes, the angrier he is.
00:33:28Have you ever considered maybe he's not shaking from anger?
00:33:31Please.
00:33:32My father fears no one.
00:33:34And if he's trembling, it's just because he's about to fire every last one of you.
00:33:39You still don't realize where it sits, do you?
00:33:43Pathetic.
00:33:44You're still bragging while you're about to get kicked out.
00:33:47Keep talking.
00:33:48You're digging your own grave.
00:33:51Dad, are you done shaking yet?
00:33:54Can we deal with these two nobodies now?
00:33:59Yes.
00:34:00Yes, I'll deal with this.
00:34:02I'm dealing with you!
00:34:09Dad.
00:34:10You fool.
00:34:12Do you even know what you've done?
00:34:15Me?
00:34:16They're the ones who caused all these troubles.
00:34:19Shut it!
00:34:21Apologize to them!
00:34:22Now!
00:34:23Apologize to them?
00:34:24Mr. West.
00:34:25They just assaulted your daughter.
00:34:27Why would we apologize?
00:34:31You brainless idiots.
00:34:33Do you even know who he is?
00:34:35You can't do this.
00:34:36I'm a PhD.
00:34:36I just made partner at Whitmore.
00:34:39A PhD, huh?
00:34:46What the hell are you doing?
00:34:48This is my son's celebration!
00:34:50There is no celebration!
00:34:51Not without him because...
00:34:53That's Sebastian, CEO of Whitmore Group.
00:34:59What happened?
00:35:01Mr. Whitmore, I apologize for my idiot kid.
00:35:05Please forgive us.
00:35:06Mr. Whitmore, please forgive us.
00:35:15Daniel!
00:35:16That man!
00:35:17Is he really Sebastian Whitwild?
00:35:20I don't know.
00:35:21But Eleanor claimed to be married to that guy.
00:35:23That man, Sebastian, how...
00:35:25That man was just a gigolo hired by her.
00:35:28That can't be Sebastian.
00:35:29It just can't.
00:35:30Dad, you're kidding me, right?
00:35:31Tell me this is some kind of sick test.
00:35:33You idiot!
00:35:34You've ruined the West's name!
00:35:35Get on your knees and beg Mr. Whitmore for forgiveness now!
00:35:41So, he's Sebastian Whitmore?
00:35:43Please, just listen to me.
00:35:44I can explain.
00:35:45You're lucky I don't lay my hands on a woman.
00:35:47But this isn't over.
00:35:48James, this is the heir you've raised.
00:35:49Perhaps you should resign from the board and teach your daughter what respect is.
00:35:53Mr. Whitmore, I beg you, she's young, stupid.
00:35:56She doesn't represent me.
00:35:57You're right.
00:35:57She doesn't.
00:35:58But you do.
00:35:59And that's the fired now.
00:36:01No.
00:36:01Please, Mr. Whitmore, don't...
00:36:03So now I get it, Eleanor.
00:36:05No wonder you had no fear, because you had Mr. Whitmore behind you the whole time.
00:36:10You must think you're an untouchable big shot now, huh?
00:36:15No, you've got it wrong.
00:36:17I'm not untouchable because of Sebastian.
00:36:19I'm untouchable because I always was.
00:36:22Seven years, Daniel.
00:36:24And you never once asked who I was.
00:36:26You were so eager to leave.
00:36:27You never stopped to see who you were leaving.
00:36:30Dr. Proscott, we fast-tracked you for talent.
00:36:33Yes, your academic record is impressive.
00:36:34But here at Whitmore, we hire for integrity.
00:36:37And you've failed that test.
00:36:39Your offer is dead.
00:36:40Wait!
00:36:41Mrs. Whitmore, please don't do this.
00:36:44My son's worked his whole life for this.
00:36:46Don't throw him out!
00:36:47My decision is final.
00:36:49No amount of begging will change it.
00:36:51And you know exactly the reason, Dr. Proscott.
00:36:55I...
00:36:55I...
00:36:59Sebastian Whitmore, you've gone too far.
00:37:03Madam Whitmore.
00:37:06Grandma.
00:37:08Don't you dare call me that.
00:37:10Not when you defy the family like this.
00:37:15You've outdone yourself this time, Sebastian.
00:37:18Grandmother told you to marry Sylvia Caldwell.
00:37:20And what do you do?
00:37:20Ghost us, then stroke back in here.
00:37:22Start firing people.
00:37:24About the engagement.
00:37:25You forget who runs this place.
00:37:27Sure, you hold the CEO title.
00:37:29But it was Grandma who built Whitmore Group from the ground up.
00:37:31And as for Dr. Proscott and Mr. West,
00:37:34you don't get to fire them.
00:37:37You hear that, Daniel?
00:37:38You're not getting fired.
00:37:41But who is that guy?
00:37:43Why is he talking back to Whitmore?
00:37:45That's Winston, Sebastian's big brother.
00:37:47And Grandma, she favors Winston over Sebastian.
00:37:51Winston, don't overstep.
00:37:52I am still the acting CEO.
00:37:54Staffing decisions are mine.
00:37:56Not if Grandma says otherwise, little brother.
00:37:59James has given decades to this company.
00:38:01His termination, not happening.
00:38:04Thank you, Madam Whitmore.
00:38:07Thank you for standing up for me.
00:38:09And as for him, he stays.
00:38:15You don't have the authority to touch him.
00:38:17But Grandma, I...
00:38:18The Thunder Circle funds the world's top scholars.
00:38:20Their chairman, Lady Thunder, is arriving tomorrow.
00:38:22We must secure her favor.
00:38:24And Dr. Proscott, he's exactly the kind of golden boy she's looking for.
00:38:26So, he stays.
00:38:27For Whitmore.
00:38:28Got it?
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:32Then, focus on what matters.
00:38:35Marrying Sylvia Caldwell.
00:38:37That marriage locks us into the Thunder Circle.
00:38:39No, I won't marry Sylvia.
00:38:41And I'm already...
00:38:43My decision's final.
00:38:45No one's changing it.
00:38:52No wonder he was in such a rush to find someone to marry.
00:38:56He helped me once.
00:38:57I guess now it's my turn to return the favor.
00:39:07Lady Thunder.
00:39:08Whitmore's proposal is approved.
00:39:11We'll go public at tomorrow's gala.
00:39:16Whitmore will be our first official U.S. partner.
00:39:19Perfect.
00:39:20Make sure it's loud.
00:39:22I'm going to give my husband a surprise.
00:39:30Sebastian, I know you're upset.
00:39:32But marrying Sylvia connects us to the Caldwells.
00:39:34And through them, the Thunder Circle.
00:39:37That's the future.
00:39:38So you'd rather hand over our legacy to someone else?
00:39:41I believe in building it myself.
00:39:43Not chasing shortcuts.
00:39:44Shortcut.
00:39:45It's called strategy.
00:39:47If the road to power is already paved,
00:39:49why waste time laying bricks?
00:39:52Then I disagree, madam.
00:39:54That's not strategies.
00:39:55That's fear.
00:39:56You can't force Sebastian to marry someone else.
00:39:58What the hell is she doing?
00:40:03Oh, God.
00:40:04It's her again.
00:40:06Doesn't she get tired of humiliating herself?
00:40:09Who let the trash out?
00:40:10Someone take her back to the curb.
00:40:13Who is she?
00:40:15Madam Whitmore.
00:40:16That's Eleanor, my ex.
00:40:18She stalked me here.
00:40:20Then she lashed on to Sebastian,
00:40:22pretending to be his wife just to dodge your engagement plans.
00:40:25Shut up, Daniel.
00:40:27One more word, and I will break your jaw.
00:40:30See that, mother?
00:40:31He's panicking.
00:40:33Madam,
00:40:33they're lying to your face.
00:40:35That girl, Eleanor,
00:40:37she's just using Sebastian,
00:40:39trying to save herself from trouble.
00:40:42I guess that's just their scheme.
00:40:45Sebastian is using this little act
00:40:47to get out of marrying Sylvia.
00:40:50Yes, Sebastian and I started as pretend.
00:40:53But we're not pretending anymore.
00:40:59What are you playing at?
00:41:06Sebastian Whitfield.
00:41:08Will you marry me for real?
00:41:13You've got to be shitting me.
00:41:17Are you out of your mind?
00:41:19You're doubling down on this circus?
00:41:21That's hilarious.
00:41:23Do you think he will marry you?
00:41:25You think you can take advantage now?
00:41:27Even if Mr. Whitmore's in trouble,
00:41:29that doesn't mean he'd stoop to marrying someone like you.
00:41:33Sebastian,
00:41:34if you say yes to her now,
00:41:35you lose everything.
00:41:37Do you even know what you're doing?
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:42You proposed first.
00:41:43I'm just returning the favor.
00:41:45What's the matter, Sebastian?
00:41:47Scared?
00:41:47Eleanor, stop.
00:41:49When I proposed to you,
00:41:51I still had everything.
00:41:52You turned me down,
00:41:53and now that I'm in trouble,
00:41:54you say yes?
00:41:56Exactly.
00:41:57Because I'm not saying yes
00:41:58to your title or fortune.
00:42:00I'm saying yes to you.
00:42:02Just as you are.
00:42:04Just as you are.
00:42:05Then, Eleanor, I say yes to you.
00:42:06I will marry you.
00:42:13There.
00:42:14She's my wife now.
00:42:16Anyone got a problem with that?
00:42:29Well done, Sebastian.
00:42:30You think marrying this random girl
00:42:33gives you a fight against the family?
00:42:35I see now my words mean nothing to you anymore.
00:42:38So I'll make myself clear.
00:42:40I am suspending Sebastian from all duties as CEO
00:42:44with more group.
00:42:50Grandma, you can't be serious.
00:42:54I've already secured the investment
00:42:57from the Thunder, sir.
00:43:00Stop calling me that.
00:43:01The moment you proposed to that woman,
00:43:03you made your choice over the family.
00:43:05And this is only at the beginning.
00:43:07Tomorrow, there'll be a gala
00:43:08to welcome Lady Thunder.
00:43:09Our family has secured an invite
00:43:11only because of Sylvia.
00:43:12And you betrayed her?
00:43:14Sebastian, you will attend and pacify Sylvia.
00:43:16That'll be your last chance.
00:43:18If you fail that,
00:43:20you pack your things
00:43:21and leave the family.
00:43:23I know you've been chasing
00:43:24an investment behind our backs.
00:43:26Well, bad news.
00:43:27Sylvia has promised me
00:43:28that unless you marry her,
00:43:29there won't be a single cent
00:43:30from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:31That's impossible.
00:43:32I already got confirmation
00:43:33from the Thunder Circle.
00:43:35The deal is done.
00:43:36A confirmation.
00:43:37Words are cheap.
00:43:39Unless you've got
00:43:40a signed contract in your hand,
00:43:41you've got nothing.
00:43:42Mr. Whitmore,
00:43:46the Circle hasn't sent over
00:43:48any signed paperwork yet.
00:43:50See, I'll enjoy watching you fall,
00:43:52little brother.
00:43:53And you, girl,
00:43:55trying to steal Sylvia's fiancé,
00:43:56you'll see what hell
00:43:57you've gotten into.
00:44:03Oh, and you, doctor.
00:44:05You'll be joining us
00:44:06at tomorrow's gala.
00:44:08Did you hear that, Daniel?
00:44:10You're invited.
00:44:12A gala that only invites
00:44:15billionaires.
00:44:16That's because your Whitmore recommendation
00:44:18comes from the Thunder Circle.
00:44:20Wait, what?
00:44:23Comes from what?
00:44:24Is that true?
00:44:25The Thunder Circle.
00:44:26They gave my son the letter.
00:44:28Yes.
00:44:29Sylvia says Lady Thunder
00:44:30has a soft spot
00:44:31for polished scholars.
00:44:32Tomorrow's your chance.
00:44:34Play it right,
00:44:34and who knows?
00:44:36Perhaps she'll take a life into you.
00:44:38Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:44:40I will go.
00:44:42Good.
00:44:43Then it's settled.
00:44:49The Thunder Circle gave us their word
00:44:50they wouldn't back out.
00:44:51Parker,
00:44:52go check that out now.
00:44:56Relax.
00:44:57I said they'd invest in you.
00:44:58They still will.
00:45:01Really?
00:45:03You think some back room
00:45:05nobody like you
00:45:07could land capital
00:45:08from the Thunder Circle?
00:45:13We'll see who's laughing tomorrow.
00:45:16And just to be clear,
00:45:19the Thunder Circle
00:45:19will never choose you.
00:45:22You seriously think
00:45:23someone like you
00:45:23matters to the Thunder Circle?
00:45:25You're not invited,
00:45:27but we are.
00:45:28You'll find out tomorrow
00:45:30whether I matter.
00:45:31Tomorrow?
00:45:32You've stolen Sylvia
00:45:33Caldwell's husband.
00:45:35Be glad if you're still
00:45:37breathing by morning.
00:45:38If you've got even
00:45:40a shred of sense left,
00:45:41get on a plane tonight.
00:45:43Stop wasting your last hours
00:45:45chasing your gold digger dream.
00:45:47Oh, so I'm...
00:45:48I'm a gold digger now?
00:45:50Of course.
00:45:51You're clinging to Sebastian
00:45:53like he's your lifeline.
00:45:54But even he can't protect you now.
00:45:56Forget it, Mom.
00:45:57Talking to her
00:45:58is a waste of time.
00:45:59But if I do end up
00:46:00impressing the Thunder Circle tomorrow,
00:46:02maybe I'll toss you a favor.
00:46:06Keep you alive.
00:46:10Let's go.
00:46:14I hope tomorrow,
00:46:15when you all realize
00:46:16I'm the CEO of the Circle,
00:46:17you still feel this high.
00:46:22Don't listen to them.
00:46:23I'll do whatever it takes
00:46:24to protect you tomorrow.
00:46:26Relax, Mr. Whitmore.
00:46:27I've got this.
00:46:29Tomorrow at the gala,
00:46:31everything will be handled.
00:46:32Yes, ma'am.
00:46:33I get it.
00:46:34You're the dangerous one.
00:46:36But Eleanor,
00:46:37the Thunder Circle,
00:46:38the Caldwell family,
00:46:39they're not people
00:46:39you can handle.
00:46:40So what?
00:46:41So,
00:46:42tomorrow,
00:46:43I'll sign the deal.
00:46:45I'll secure everything.
00:46:47Because keeping you safe
00:46:48is my job now.
00:46:50Oh, wow.
00:46:51What a hero.
00:46:52What happened to the cocky CEO
00:46:54who begged me
00:46:54to marry him on the plane?
00:46:55Come on,
00:46:56that was so embarrassing.
00:46:57The man on that plane
00:46:58no longer exists,
00:46:59all right?
00:47:04So,
00:47:04my wife,
00:47:06can we move to the next step?
00:47:08Let's get married.
00:47:09Let's get married.
00:47:29Lady Thunder.
00:47:30Lady Thunder.
00:47:31How are the preparations
00:47:33for tomorrow's gala?
00:47:34Everything's ready.
00:47:36Media's locked.
00:47:37The billion dollar contract
00:47:38with Whitmore is finalized.
00:47:40Good.
00:47:40But remember,
00:47:41this isn't for the Whitmore family.
00:47:43It's for Sebastian.
00:47:44Make sure the funds land
00:47:45only in his hands.
00:47:46Understood.
00:47:46And Lady Thunder?
00:47:47Two allies have requested a meeting.
00:47:49They're waiting outside.
00:47:50Shall I send them in?
00:47:50Bring them in.
00:47:52Lady Thunder.
00:47:55So,
00:47:57how have you been?
00:47:58Your business good?
00:47:58Yes,
00:47:59Thunder Lady,
00:47:59and thank you.
00:48:00Your support during my toughest years
00:48:01meant everything.
00:48:02My weapons empire
00:48:03now spans five continents.
00:48:04Impressive.
00:48:05And you,
00:48:06Prince Amir?
00:48:06I'm doing well.
00:48:08Without your backing,
00:48:09I wouldn't be where I am,
00:48:10leading my country with stability.
00:48:12That's good to hear.
00:48:13Will I see both of you
00:48:14at the gala tomorrow?
00:48:15Of course.
00:48:16Whatever you need,
00:48:17Lady Thunder,
00:48:18just say the word.
00:48:19I'll back you fully.
00:48:20I'm afraid I can't attend.
00:48:21Things have grown tense
00:48:22between the Caldwells and me.
00:48:24What happened?
00:48:24In the past few years,
00:48:25they've been expanding aggressively,
00:48:27crushing competitors left and right.
00:48:28I thought they were acting
00:48:29with your approval,
00:48:30so I didn't intervene.
00:48:31No.
00:48:32I never authorized any of that.
00:48:34I underestimated how far they'd go,
00:48:36but it ends now.
00:48:37They'll answer for everything they've done.
00:48:39Then tomorrow should be
00:48:41entertaining.
00:48:42Let's shake the world together.
00:48:51Sebastian.
00:49:02Hey, just checking in.
00:49:04Are you free tomorrow?
00:49:05What's going on?
00:49:07See, the gala's tomorrow.
00:49:09I had a few dresses made for you.
00:49:10A few?
00:49:11You make it sound like you are hosting a fashion week for me.
00:49:15Look, as your husband,
00:49:16I must make sure you're the most stunning woman in the room.
00:49:18Is that so?
00:49:20Or is it just so you can make your enemies...
00:49:24jealous?
00:49:26Who says I can't do both?
00:49:34I've got to go.
00:49:35We'll talk tomorrow.
00:49:36Okay, good night.
00:49:38Mr. Whitbear,
00:49:38Lady Thunder's currently in a closed meeting.
00:49:40She won't be seeing anyone tonight.
00:49:43Mr. Lee,
00:49:44I just need to confirm about the investment.
00:49:45I...
00:49:45You'll get your answer at the gala.
00:49:49Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:49:50Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:50:08Today is the gala.
00:50:09Sylvia has introduced us to pick up our clothes from his brother, Ravine.
00:50:13He owns the most exclusive boutique in the city.
00:50:15Celebrities beg for these designs and still leave empty-handed.
00:50:20Unbelievable!
00:50:20Mr. Caldwell,
00:50:22you really shouldn't have...
00:50:23It's worth every penny if it gets Lady Thunder's attention.
00:50:26Just pick out anything you want in the store.
00:50:28Oh, thank you.
00:50:29And your sister...
00:50:30Dr. Prescott,
00:50:31you will be representing both the Bova Whitmore
00:50:33and Caldwell families at the gala.
00:50:35Help us win Lady Thunder's favor.
00:50:37Absolutely.
00:50:38That's my boy.
00:50:39Ph.D.
00:50:40Perfect.
00:50:41And maybe
00:50:41about to become Lady Thunder's future partner.
00:50:44My boy, let's be honest.
00:50:46Next to Lady Thunder,
00:50:47that Eleanor girl,
00:50:48even Margaret,
00:50:49they're nothing.
00:50:50If she notices you
00:50:51and you end up marrying her,
00:50:53you'd rule.
00:50:56You've got to be kidding me.
00:51:02Eleanor.
00:51:06Well, well.
00:51:07Look who thinks she's someone now.
00:51:09You've got some nerve showing your face here, Eleanor.
00:51:12Watch your mouth.
00:51:14My wife can go wherever she damn well pleases.
00:51:18Sebastian brought you here to play dress-up?
00:51:20Adorable.
00:51:21Too bad this dress costs more than what you make in a year.
00:51:24Who is she, Sebastian?
00:51:25I thought you were still with my sister.
00:51:28And you are?
00:51:29You seriously don't know?
00:51:31He's Sylvia Caldwell's brother.
00:51:33How shameless.
00:51:33You already stole the Caldwell man,
00:51:35and now you're shopping like you belong here?
00:51:37Wait.
00:51:38Stole what?
00:51:39Oh, Ravine, you haven't heard?
00:51:41That gold dragger conned Sebastian into marrying her.
00:51:44She's pretending to be Mrs. Whitmore now.
00:51:47What?
00:51:48Married?
00:51:49Sebastian, you tossed my sister aside for this cheap whore?
00:51:53Watch your mouth.
00:51:54Whatever arrangement I had with Sylvia, it's over.
00:51:56I'll deal with her.
00:51:57But you, you never get to insult my wife.
00:52:01Your wife?
00:52:02In my store?
00:52:03I have every right to throw both of you out.
00:52:05Her first.
00:52:06Oh, really?
00:52:07Then let me make it easy for you.
00:52:09We'll take everything.
00:52:10Every dress.
00:52:11Every necklace.
00:52:12Every damn shoe in this place.
00:52:14And after tonight, this store will belong to me.
00:52:22Wow, Eleanor.
00:52:24What did it take?
00:52:25Two days to hook him?
00:52:27But seriously, Sebastian, giving up Sylvia for her?
00:52:30What's the appeal?
00:52:31Maybe she can perform better in bed now?
00:52:34Shut the hell up!
00:52:36You don't get to speak about my wife, ever!
00:52:39Mr. Whitmore, that is enough!
00:52:41You're not even CEO anymore!
00:52:43Just because I'm not in the chair, doesn't mean I'm powerless.
00:52:50Please.
00:52:51My son has a PhD.
00:52:53One day, he's going to surpass you.
00:52:55Surpass me?
00:52:56My son, Daniel.
00:52:58He's going to marry the most powerful woman alive.
00:53:00Lady Thunder herself!
00:53:02I'm sorry.
00:53:03What?
00:53:04So regret it now?
00:53:06You left me, son, and now he's about to marry the woman who could crush you both.
00:53:14Actually, you're not entirely wrong.
00:53:18Daniel, your mother thinks you're going to marry Lady Thunder.
00:53:21Maybe that was possible once, but not anymore.
00:53:25Who the hell are you to say that?
00:53:26Because I am Lady Thunder, chairwoman of the Thunder Circle.
00:53:29And you?
00:53:30You've lost the right to even dream of standing beside me.
00:53:38You?
00:53:39You?
00:53:40Lady Thunder?
00:53:40Oh, please!
00:53:41Someone give her an Oscar!
00:53:43Hear that?
00:53:44This lunatic actually thinks she runs the Thunder Circle and decides my son's future!
00:53:49Eleanor, Lady Thunder's not someone we joke about.
00:53:51You can't...
00:53:51You bitch!
00:53:52You break into my store, and now you're spouting delusions?
00:53:56Adam, buy off every Caldenwell boutique worldwide.
00:54:00I want this brand under my name.
00:54:02Do you even know what it costs to buy my store?
00:54:04Eleanor, I get it.
00:54:06The breakup scrambled your head.
00:54:07But pretending to be Thunder Lady?
00:54:09You'll get Sebastian killed.
00:54:11So in your world, a woman like me could never be her?
00:54:13Even if by some miracle, you clawed your way up, you'd still be nothing.
00:54:19Sucking men dry.
00:54:20That is what you are good at.
00:54:21Enough of this, sis.
00:54:22Call security before she drives us all down.
00:54:25Touch her, and I'll destroy you.
00:54:29You realize what you're doing?
00:54:30You're crossing a line.
00:54:31You think she's worth it?
00:54:32Side with her now, and you're both done.
00:54:34The Thunder Circle will eat you alive.
00:54:37Sylvia?
00:54:39Yeah, I'm dealing with what?
00:54:41They bought it?
00:54:42The Thunder Circle?
00:54:44Just acquired every global Caldwell boutique?
00:54:46What?
00:54:46That's not possible!
00:54:48And Eleanor?
00:54:50Is the new owner?
00:54:55No, no, this has to be some kind of mistake.
00:54:58There's no way that street rat owns this place.
00:55:01It's a scam!
00:55:02A trick!
00:55:03Well, Raveen, looks like this store belongs to me now.
00:55:07You're no longer welcome here.
00:55:10Leave before I have the guards escort you out.
00:55:13What?
00:55:14This is insane!
00:55:15You crazy bitch!
00:55:17How could you do this?
00:55:17Say one more word.
00:55:18Your name will be wiped off the fashion world like chalk in the rain.
00:55:22Want to try me?
00:55:24No.
00:55:28Guards, remove them.
00:55:31No, you can't do this!
00:55:38Daniel, could she really be Thunder Lady?
00:55:44Oh, absolutely not!
00:55:45I've known her for years!
00:55:48There's no way she could run the Thunder Circle!
00:55:50Then how the hell did she buy my store?
00:55:53You still don't get it?
00:55:55That nanny work she did in Africa, that's where she met Lady Thunder,
00:55:59who just happens to run a charity there, too.
00:56:01So, you're saying she used Lady Thunder's sympathy to get this?
00:56:06Exactly.
00:56:08She's just a side piece with great timing.
00:56:11But I'll expose everything.
00:56:15Tomorrow, her little luck ends.
00:56:22Eleanor, you're not seriously telling me you're the real Lady Thunder?
00:56:26I can't tell Sebastian everything, not yet.
00:56:29Not until the gala.
00:56:32Back when I was working in Africa, I met her.
00:56:36You met Lady Thunder?
00:56:37Yes.
00:56:38She visited one of our shelters.
00:56:39We spoke.
00:56:40So, I reached out to her just now.
00:56:43Asked for help.
00:56:44Why didn't you tell me you knew her before?
00:56:48Look, I'm sorry, I...
00:56:50That's amazing.
00:56:51If Thunder Lady's on your side,
00:56:53then Sylvia wouldn't dare lay a hand on you tomorrow.
00:56:58Sounds like you really don't want to see me get hurt.
00:57:01Of course not.
00:57:02You're my wife.
00:57:04You stood by me when everything fell apart.
00:57:06So tomorrow,
00:57:08I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.
00:57:11That's my only job now.
00:57:12That's the first time a man's ever said that to me.
00:57:20But tomorrow, once we walk into that gala,
00:57:22it's official, public.
00:57:23You're not afraid of that?
00:57:26I've been dying to tell the world you're mine.
00:57:35Winston, congratulations.
00:57:37Everyone knows by now,
00:57:38your mother has Sebastian from his position.
00:57:41That makes you the next in line for CEO, doesn't it?
00:57:45Well, Sebastian was never CEO material.
00:57:49My mother saw it.
00:57:52So did the board.
00:57:54Winston,
00:57:56you've got the support of the Caldwell family.
00:57:58Their ties to the circle aren't small.
00:58:01And tonight,
00:58:02I heard Lady Thunder
00:58:03will announce the person
00:58:05who gets the billion-dollar investment.
00:58:07And you,
00:58:08Whitmore's golden boy look,
00:58:10like you've already locked it in.
00:58:22You've got a lot of nerve showing up here, Sebastian.
00:58:29This is the Thunder Circle's return gala.
00:58:32As a member of the Whitmore,
00:58:33I have every right to be here.
00:58:36And you'd better be at Sylvia's suite
00:58:38instead of parading around
00:58:39like you still belong at the top.
00:58:41And you,
00:58:42what kind of gutter trash
00:58:44thinks she can just show up here?
00:58:46Eleanor is my wife.
00:58:48You don't speak to her like that.
00:58:50Wife?
00:58:52You said that out loud.
00:58:55Hey, everyone!
00:58:56Gather round.
00:58:58I've got a joke for you.
00:58:59This man,
00:59:00my brother,
00:59:01was once the acting CEO of the Whitmore Group.
00:59:03Born into privilege,
00:59:04he could have married Sylvia
00:59:05and joined the powerful Caldwell family.
00:59:07But instead,
00:59:08he married her.
00:59:09A gold digger.
00:59:10And he calls her his wife?
00:59:13Tell me,
00:59:14isn't that hilarious?
00:59:15Honestly,
00:59:17Sebastian used to be a force.
00:59:18Now he's just another doughy man
00:59:21who fell for the cheap whore.
00:59:24And he even offended the Caldwells.
00:59:27He's so dead now.
00:59:32You hear that, Sebastian?
00:59:33Tell me.
00:59:34Doesn't that make you pathetic?
00:59:35Shut your mouth,
00:59:36or I'll break that smug little jaw of yours.
00:59:38Do it!
00:59:39If I were you,
00:59:40I'd go crawl back to Sylvia,
00:59:42beg for scraps.
00:59:43And as for this joke you call a wife,
00:59:45I'll deal with her first.
00:59:46I'd love to see which idiot
00:59:48thinks they can deal with me here.
00:59:51Don't you dare run your mouth!
00:59:56You bitch!
01:00:01Just come to me, Winston.
01:00:07You bastard!
01:00:08I'm your brother!
01:00:09And you're letting that bitch
01:00:10humiliate me in front of everyone?
01:00:12Let him go, Sebastian.
01:00:14I'm curious how far he wants to go.
01:00:16Isn't she just some nobody?
01:00:17Where'd she get the guts?
01:00:19Because she's riding Sebastian's coattails.
01:00:21But once he's out,
01:00:22she's over.
01:00:23Sebastian,
01:00:24you've humiliated our family.
01:00:26And you've chosen this woman
01:00:27over your blood!
01:00:29Fine!
01:00:30As of this moment,
01:00:31I exile you from the Whitmore family!
01:00:34You don't have the authority
01:00:35to exile me from Whitmore.
01:00:39He does not.
01:00:40But I do.
01:00:49grandma.
01:00:50Sebastian,
01:00:51I'll ask you one last time.
01:00:53Are you going to marry Sylvia?
01:00:57No, Grandmother.
01:00:58I won't.
01:01:00I've never loved her.
01:01:01I didn't ask if you love her.
01:01:05I asked...
01:01:06Will you marry her?
01:01:10No.
01:01:11And I won't divorce Eleanor.
01:01:14You'd throw away your family's future
01:01:17for this useless woman?
01:01:19Even if you are my grandmother,
01:01:21you don't get to insult my wife.
01:01:23And do you really believe
01:01:24marrying into the Caldwell family
01:01:26will elevate us?
01:01:28Of course I do.
01:01:29What are you trying to say?
01:01:31The Caldwells say merge,
01:01:33but we both know what they want.
01:01:35They want our assets.
01:01:37Our name.
01:01:38And when they're done
01:01:39bleeding us dry,
01:01:40Whitford will be nothing.
01:01:42We cannot let that happen.
01:01:44And we can't trust Sylvia!
01:01:48No wonder Sebastian's a CEO.
01:01:51Sharp instincts.
01:01:52Looks like I picked the right man.
01:01:54Grandma, don't listen to him.
01:01:55Sylvia promised.
01:01:56If Sebastian agrees,
01:01:58the Caldwells will bring us
01:01:59straight into the Thunder Circle's
01:02:00inner core.
01:02:01You're sure?
01:02:02Absolutely.
01:02:03That's what tonight is all about.
01:02:04Sylvia's on her way now.
01:02:06Besides Lady Thunder,
01:02:07she's the centerpiece of this gala.
01:02:08If we cross her,
01:02:09we lose everything.
01:02:11You're right.
01:02:12We can't afford to offend
01:02:13the Caldwells now.
01:02:15You hear that?
01:02:16You know what's at stake.
01:02:19What the hell are you laughing at?
01:02:22All of this?
01:02:23You're ready to sell Sebastian off
01:02:24for a shot at winning
01:02:25Sylvia's attention?
01:02:27And you call that strategy?
01:02:29You're sniffing the wrong trail.
01:02:30What's that supposed to mean?
01:02:32It means,
01:02:33if you're looking for investment
01:02:35from the Thunder Circle,
01:02:36you don't need the Caldwells.
01:02:38You need me.
01:02:40What are you saying?
01:02:42Don't be ridiculous!
01:02:44Even a rat at the Thunder Circle
01:02:46has more value than you!
01:02:48She's out of her mind.
01:02:50The Thunder Circle is untouchable.
01:02:52How could someone like her
01:02:53say that?
01:02:54You look down on me
01:02:56because you have no idea
01:02:57who I really am.
01:02:59But once you find out,
01:03:00you'll be the ones kneeling.
01:03:03Then prove it.
01:03:04But if you're lying,
01:03:06you know the price.
01:03:08I am.
01:03:11This isn't about her lies.
01:03:13She's dragging down
01:03:14the entire Whitmore legacy.
01:03:19Madam Whitmore,
01:03:21you may not know,
01:03:22yesterday,
01:03:23Eleanor and Sebastian
01:03:24aggressively acquired
01:03:25every Ravine Caldwell's boutique.
01:03:28Sebastian,
01:03:29is that true?
01:03:31The boutiques were taken over
01:03:32by Lady Thunder.
01:03:33Eleanor just
01:03:33asked her for help.
01:03:35What?
01:03:36How could she possibly know?
01:03:38Because she played
01:03:39the charity card.
01:03:40Years in Africa,
01:03:41nanny kids,
01:03:42it was all to gain
01:03:43the Lady Thunder's favor.
01:03:44Exactly!
01:03:45No wonder she seduced Sebastian,
01:03:48turned him against
01:03:48his own family.
01:03:49She's made a career
01:03:50out of clinging
01:03:51to power from people.
01:03:52She's dangerous.
01:03:53A conniving parasite.
01:03:56You've offended
01:03:56the Caldwell family's heir,
01:03:58and now you're trying
01:03:59to drag us down with you?
01:04:00You've ruined our alliance!
01:04:02And now you show up here,
01:04:04crashing the Thunder Circle's gala?
01:04:06We should make her
01:04:07crawl for forgiveness!
01:04:08The one who had been
01:04:09trying to crush you
01:04:10is the Caldwell.
01:04:11They should beg
01:04:12for forgiveness.
01:04:13You arrogant lunatic!
01:04:15You think you can talk
01:04:16shit about Caldwells?
01:04:17I'm just stating facts.
01:04:20You miserable.
01:04:21Facts!
01:04:22Huh?
01:04:28That's Sylvia Caldwell.
01:04:30Things are about
01:04:31to get ugly.
01:04:32Eleanor's finished.
01:04:32No one crosses
01:04:34the Caldwells
01:04:34and walk away.
01:04:37So that's the famous
01:04:39Caldwell heiress?
01:04:40My son,
01:04:41marrying her
01:04:41might not be
01:04:42the worst thing.
01:04:43Mom!
01:04:44All right, all right.
01:04:45My son is made
01:04:47for Lady Thunder.
01:04:48That's someone
01:04:49you deserve.
01:04:50Sylvia,
01:04:51thank God you're here.
01:04:52Seriously, Winston?
01:04:53One girl
01:04:54and you crumble?
01:04:55Pathetic.
01:04:55Move!
01:04:58So, Eleanor,
01:04:59first you steal my man,
01:05:00then you get our stores
01:05:01and fire my brother.
01:05:03Tell me,
01:05:04are you fearless
01:05:04or just an idiot?
01:05:05Why do I have to be either?
01:05:07Are you that rattled?
01:05:08Good.
01:05:08Let's see how brave you are.
01:05:12Sylvia, don't...
01:05:14Sebastian,
01:05:14you're my fiancé
01:05:15and you're defending her?
01:05:16I never agreed
01:05:17to marry you, Sylvia.
01:05:18I came here tonight
01:05:19to talk,
01:05:19to build something better.
01:05:21Better?
01:05:21You call tearing down
01:05:23our family's legacy
01:05:24better?
01:05:26Fine.
01:05:27You want something better?
01:05:30Neil,
01:05:31both of you,
01:05:33beg me for it.
01:05:38Sylvia,
01:05:39that's enough!
01:05:40Enough?
01:05:41I've barely started.
01:05:43By the time
01:05:44tonight's return gala ends,
01:05:46Whitmore won't even exist.
01:05:48Mrs. Caldwell,
01:05:50you can't do this.
01:05:52You promised to back
01:05:53our rise into the
01:05:54Thunder Circle.
01:05:55And didn't you promise
01:05:56Sebastian would marry me?
01:05:58Seems we're all
01:05:59breaking promises tonight.
01:06:00You hear that?
01:06:01Neil,
01:06:01marry her!
01:06:02Or you drag this family
01:06:04to ruin!
01:06:04Do you want to
01:06:05doom us all,
01:06:07you ungrateful bastard?
01:06:09What's the matter
01:06:10with you two,
01:06:11Sebastian?
01:06:12Too proud to kneel?
01:06:13looks like
01:06:14you're the one
01:06:15who should kneel now.
01:06:21Oh my god!
01:06:22She's insane!
01:06:23She's totally insane!
01:06:29Sylvia,
01:06:30are you hurt?
01:06:31Do I look fine
01:06:32to you, idiot?
01:06:34You bitch!
01:06:36No one humiliates me
01:06:37like this!
01:06:38First time for everything.
01:06:39You'll get used to it.
01:06:42Kill her!
01:06:46This woman just
01:06:48desecrated the
01:06:48Thunder Circle's gala.
01:06:50This isn't just an
01:06:51insult to me,
01:06:52it's treason
01:06:52ex-Lady Thunder
01:06:53herself!
01:06:54She will be eliminated,
01:06:56and anyone
01:06:56who stands with her
01:06:58becomes my enemy!
01:07:00This is it.
01:07:00If I stand with Sylvia now,
01:07:02I'll win her
01:07:02and Lady Thunder's favor.
01:07:04Sylvia is right!
01:07:05Eleanor defied
01:07:05Lady Thunder!
01:07:06She must be punished!
01:07:07I second that!
01:07:08She's a disgrace!
01:07:09She defied
01:07:10everything we stand for!
01:07:12We must punish her!
01:07:14You're a punisher!
01:07:15Punisher!
01:07:16Punisher!
01:07:20No!
01:07:21You've all got it wrong!
01:07:23Sebastian!
01:07:24Everyone here
01:07:25saw what she did!
01:07:26You want to defend her?
01:07:28You hear that,
01:07:29Eleanor?
01:07:30Game over.
01:07:31You breathe
01:07:32because I allow it.
01:07:34And when I say
01:07:34you're finished,
01:07:36you're finished.
01:07:37You dare?
01:07:38If you do that,
01:07:39I promise I'll kill you!
01:07:41Shut up, Sebastian!
01:07:42Everyone here
01:07:43wants her gone!
01:07:44You'd risk your entire
01:07:45family for a woman
01:07:46like her?
01:07:47You want to ruin
01:07:47yourself?
01:07:48Fine.
01:07:48But don't drag
01:07:49the Whitmans down
01:07:50with you!
01:07:51This is what happens
01:07:51when you defy
01:07:52the Caldwells.
01:07:53So tell me,
01:07:54Eleanor,
01:07:55how do you want to die?
01:07:57Impressive, Sylvia.
01:07:58Twisting the truth
01:07:59so quickly.
01:08:00But you picked
01:08:01the wrong opponent.
01:08:02All of you?
01:08:03You're nothing
01:08:04but insects in my eyes.
01:08:05Still mouthing off?
01:08:06I'll send you
01:08:07straight to Hell!
01:08:09And who exactly
01:08:10do you plan
01:08:11on sending to Hell?
01:08:13Oh!
01:08:25General Veresti
01:08:27and Prince Amir,
01:08:28what are they doing here?
01:08:29It's the Thunder Circle's
01:08:31return gala.
01:08:31Big names were expected.
01:08:33Too bad for her,
01:08:34she's completely screwed now.
01:08:35What are you doing here,
01:08:36Varelli?
01:08:37We were just about
01:08:37to take out the trash.
01:08:39Unless you're planning
01:08:40to interfere with
01:08:40Thunder Circle justice,
01:08:41I suggest you
01:08:42let us finish.
01:08:43Sylvia Caldwell,
01:08:45who exactly
01:08:46were you planning
01:08:46to kill?
01:08:47She attacked me
01:08:48in public,
01:08:48disrupted the gala.
01:08:50Look,
01:08:50I know we've had
01:08:51our differences,
01:08:52but don't tell me
01:08:53you're here to steal
01:08:53my credits
01:08:54to impress Lady Thunder.
01:08:56Steal credit?
01:08:58You really have no idea
01:08:59what you've just done.
01:09:01One more word out of you
01:09:03and the Caldwell name
01:09:05is history.
01:09:06You're serious.
01:09:07Deadly.
01:09:07You touch her again
01:09:08and your entire empire
01:09:10burns to the ground
01:09:11because the woman
01:09:13you just threatened
01:09:14is Lady Thunder herself.
01:09:17Lady Thunder!
01:09:23What?
01:09:24Lady Thunder?
01:09:25Don't be ridiculous.
01:09:26She's just a gold digger
01:09:27for God's sake.
01:09:27Exactly.
01:09:29She's a broke hooker.
01:09:30This is just another bluff.
01:09:33She's pulling the same stunt.
01:09:35She used Lady Thunder
01:09:36to crush the Caldwell stores
01:09:38and now she's here
01:09:39to sabotage our alliance.
01:09:41She is a fraud!
01:09:45You must be delusious.
01:09:47Fine.
01:09:50If you want to stand
01:09:51with this liar,
01:09:53then you're both
01:09:54as good as dead.
01:09:59Now I understand
01:10:00just how bold
01:10:02your entire family
01:10:04has become.
01:10:05You think Varelli,
01:10:07Amir,
01:10:07and the entire
01:10:08Thunder Circle
01:10:09couldn't erase
01:10:10your family overnight.
01:10:12The real Thunder Lady
01:10:14could.
01:10:15But tonight,
01:10:17she'll destroy you
01:10:18and your two
01:10:20pathetic defenders.
01:10:43Lay a finger on her.
01:10:46and I promise
01:10:49none of you
01:10:50will live
01:10:51to regret it.
01:10:55You all want to defend
01:10:56a liar?
01:11:00Stand down!
01:11:07Stand down!
01:11:09That's Adam Lee,
01:11:10Lady Thunder's right hand.
01:11:12He doesn't show
01:11:12unless she commands it.
01:11:13What is happening?
01:11:15Mr. Lee,
01:11:15finally,
01:11:16you're Lady Thunder's assistant.
01:11:18Tell them this woman's lying.
01:11:19She's not Lady Thunder!
01:11:21Right?
01:11:21She's just my useless ex.
01:11:22How could she be anything?
01:11:23Lady Thunder runs
01:11:24billion-dollar portfolios.
01:11:26She babysits orphans.
01:11:27Shut up!
01:11:29Lady Thunder spent years
01:11:31leading the largest charity
01:11:32across Africa.
01:11:33While you were busy
01:11:33polishing your shoes,
01:11:34she was saving children!
01:11:39It can't be.
01:11:40No, no, no!
01:11:41If that's true,
01:11:41then let her prove it!
01:11:42Lady Thunder is set
01:11:43to confirm the Circle's
01:11:44billion-dollar investment
01:11:45tonight,
01:11:46and the system's locked
01:11:47with one thing,
01:11:48her fingerprint.
01:11:49So if she's someone
01:11:50she claims to be,
01:11:51let her unlock it!
01:11:52Yes!
01:11:53Let her prove it!
01:11:54She can't.
01:11:55It's all just empty words.
01:11:57Well, Eleanor,
01:11:58if you're truly
01:11:59Thunder Lady,
01:12:00go ahead.
01:12:01Authorize the funds.
01:12:02Right here,
01:12:03right now.
01:12:04Eleon,
01:12:05you sure you can?
01:12:07Relax, Sebastian.
01:12:08It's time
01:12:09they saw the truth.
01:12:27Highest level authorization
01:12:29verified,
01:12:30Eleanor Thunder.
01:12:31Title,
01:12:32CEO of the Thunder Circle,
01:12:33100 billion funds,
01:12:35activated.
01:12:42Oh, God!
01:12:43She is the Thunder Lady,
01:12:44the CEO of the Thunder Circle!
01:12:46And she's investing
01:12:48100 billion in Sebastian?
01:12:50No, no!
01:12:51It can't be happening!
01:12:54Now you all know
01:12:55who I am.
01:12:56She really unlocked it!
01:12:59She's Lady Thunder!
01:13:01Lady Thunder!
01:13:02You are her?
01:13:05What now, Sylvia?
01:13:06Got anything left to say?
01:13:08I...
01:13:09I...
01:13:12Sylvia!
01:13:13This is it!
01:13:14The Caldwell name is done!
01:13:16My dad will kill me!
01:13:21Take them out.
01:13:23We'll deal with them.
01:13:24After the gala.
01:13:29Eleanor,
01:13:30I'm so impressed!
01:13:32You're Lady Thunder!
01:13:34The CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:13:36The most powerful woman alive.
01:13:39Does it even matter anymore?
01:13:43Of course it matters!
01:13:44If I'd known,
01:13:46I never would have broken up with you.
01:13:49Things could have been different.
01:13:52Would they, Daniel?
01:13:54if I told you I was Lady Thunder,
01:13:58would you have believed me?
01:14:01That I was the one who funded you.
01:14:04That I was the one who recommended you to Whitmore.
01:14:09We were together for seven years.
01:14:13You never once believed in me.
01:14:15You always saw me as someone who'd never match you.
01:14:18No, no, that's not true!
01:14:19All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:14:24It was never about me.
01:14:27That's not what I...
01:14:29You made your choice.
01:14:31So now,
01:14:32every benefit I gave you,
01:14:34every contact,
01:14:36every dollar,
01:14:37I'm taking it all back.
01:14:46Elinor,
01:14:47don't do this.
01:14:50Please, Elinor.
01:14:51We've known each other for years.
01:14:53You were always like a daughter to me.
01:14:55Any misunderstandings between us,
01:14:56we can fix...
01:14:58Your daughter?
01:14:59Weren't you the one who said
01:15:00I was just some useless girl?
01:15:02That I wasn't good enough for your son.
01:15:05That was before.
01:15:06I didn't know.
01:15:08I was stupid and blind.
01:15:10You...
01:15:11You're perfect, Elinor.
01:15:14Now that you know I'm Lady Thunder,
01:15:16am I suddenly good enough?
01:15:18When I came back from Africa,
01:15:20that was the end of all this.
01:15:22You and Daniel,
01:15:24you're now out of my life.
01:15:26Oh!
01:15:28Please, we were together so long, Elinor.
01:15:31Forgive me, please.
01:15:34You wanted a fast track to power, Daniel.
01:15:37Well, enjoy the fall.
01:15:38Elinor, no, I mean Lady Thunder.
01:15:41You and my Sebastian are such a perfect match.
01:15:45Congratulations.
01:15:46Indeed.
01:15:48Congratulations to you both.
01:15:52You're Sebastian?
01:15:54Interesting.
01:15:54I thought you expelled him from your family.
01:15:59That was a mistake.
01:16:01Of course he's still family.
01:16:03My grandson.
01:16:04Didn't I warn you?
01:16:05I told you all you would regret casting him aside.
01:16:08Grandma, I've decided.
01:16:10I'm stepping away from the Whitmose.
01:16:12From now on, I'll build something truly mine,
01:16:14without the family's shadow.
01:16:15But Sebastian...
01:16:16You should be grateful Sebastian still calls you Grandmother.
01:16:21Don't push your luck, Madam.
01:16:26All right.
01:16:28I respect your choice.
01:16:30So, Elinor,
01:16:32as you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore.
01:16:35I'm a man starting over.
01:16:39But if you'll have me, I'd rather start it with you.
01:16:42Will you stay by my side?
01:16:43And marry me.
01:16:45Of course I will.
01:16:46This time, as your wife, your investor, and your future co-founder.
01:16:58Oh, my God.
01:17:41Oh, my God.
