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

01:13:33Eleanor,
01:13:35I'm so impressed!
01:13:37You're Lady Thunder!
01:13:39The CEO of the Thunder Circle.
01:13:41The most powerful woman alive.
01:13:44Does it even matter anymore?
01:13:47Of course it matters!
01:13:49If I'd known,
01:13:50I never would have broken up with you.
01:13:54Things could have been different.
01:13:56Would they, Daniel?
01:13:59If I told you I was Lady Thunder,
01:14:03would you have believed me?
01:14:05That I was the one who funded you?
01:14:09That I was the one who recommended you to Whitmore?
01:14:14We were together for seven years.
01:14:17You never once believed in me.
01:14:20You always saw me as someone who'd never match you.
01:14:22No, no, that's not true!
01:14:24All you ever wanted was a shortcut to the top.
01:14:29It was never about me.
01:14:31That's not what I...
01:14:34You made your choice.
01:14:35So now,
01:14:37every benefit I gave you,
01:14:39every contact,
01:14:41every dollar,
01:14:42I'm taking it all back.
01:14:51Elinor,
01:14:52don't do this.
01:14:55Please, Elinor.
01:14:56We've known each other for years.
01:14:57You were always like a daughter to me.
01:14:59Any misunderstandings between us,
01:15:01we can fix!
01:15:03Your daughter?
01:15:04Weren't you the one who said
01:15:05I was just some useless girl?
01:15:07That I wasn't good enough for your son?
01:15:10That was before.
01:15:11I didn't know.
01:15:12I was stupid and blind.
01:15:15You...
01:15:16You're perfect, Elinor.
01:15:19Now that you know I'm Lady Thunder,
01:15:21am I suddenly good enough?
01:15:23When I came back from Africa,
01:15:24that was the end of all this.
01:15:27You and Daniel,
01:15:29you're now out of my life.
01:15:31No!
01:15:33Please, we were together so long, Elinor.
01:15:36Forgive me, please!
01:15:38You wanted a fast track to power, Daniel.
01:15:41Well, enjoy the fall.
01:15:43Elinor.
01:15:44No, I mean Lady Thunder.
01:15:46You and my Sebastian are such a perfect match.
01:15:50Congratulations.
01:15:51Indeed.
01:15:52Congratulations to you both.
01:15:57You're Sebastian?
01:15:58Interesting.
01:15:59I thought you expelled him from your family.
01:16:04That was a mistake.
01:16:06Of course he's still family.
01:16:07My grandson.
01:16:09Didn't I warn you?
01:16:10I told you all you would regret casting him aside.
01:16:13Grandma, I've decided.
01:16:15I'm stepping away from the Whitmos.
01:16:16From now on, I'll build something truly mine,
01:16:18without the family's shadow.
01:16:20But Sebastian...
01:16:21You should be grateful Sebastian still calls you Grandmother.
01:16:26Don't push your luck, madam.
01:16:31All right.
01:16:33I respect your choice.
01:16:35So, Elinor...
01:16:37As you can see, I'm no longer just a Whitmore.
01:16:40I'm a man starting over.
01:16:44But if you'll have me, I'd rather start it with you.
01:16:47Will you stay by my side?
01:16:48And marry me?
01:16:50Of course I will.
01:16:51This time, as your wife, your investor,
01:16:55and your future co-founder.
