00:00The quicker you sign those papers, the quicker you can move your new girlfriend in.
00:04We're pregnant, by the way.
00:06We're planning on telling this family soon.
00:10No!
00:11You should have known better than to steal my husband, bitch.
00:14And we're done. Sign the divorce papers.
00:16Nah.
00:17My mother has invited us to dinner, and I need you to be there as my wife.
00:22I will give you three months to make me a grandbaby.
00:26Wait, we're sleeping in separate bedrooms, right?
00:28You really gotta ask?
00:29Absolutely not. I refuse.
00:39Yes.
00:40Okay.
00:42I'll just leave my door unlocked in case you change your mind.
00:49Long time longer than I even know.
00:51You're a liar.
00:53So many times where you chose her over me.
00:56I deserve to be put first.
00:58For once.
01:13A driver lost control of the freeway, causing a chain of car accidents.
01:18Three are confirmed dead, with 24 injured.
01:22All have been sent to St. Joseph Hospital, including movie actress Stella Hill.
01:27Coming to you live, CMC News.
01:31What are you doing? You're not supposed to be on your feet.
01:36Are you trying to contact your husband? We still need him to sign.
01:40I can't sign my own discharge papers.
01:42Hospital policy. You suffered a concussion.
01:44Either your husband needs to be here, or somebody else needs to sign on your behalf. Okay?
01:52Come on, Elijah. Pick up, pick up.
01:55Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
02:03System 6176.
02:09Elijah?
02:17Oh, not that bad.
02:20I'm the one in the car accident, so why is my husband with another woman?
02:29Woman.
02:32It hurts.
02:34I'm the one in the car accident, so why is my husband with another woman?
02:38I'm the one in the car accident, so why is my husband with another woman?
02:48Holy shit, is that Stella Hill, the movie star?
02:51I don't know your voice, but yes, that's her.
02:53Wait, is that our new man?
02:55They said he was a billionaire, but they didn't say anything about his looks.
02:58That man is a snack.
03:00Yeah, doting too. Stella came in for something minor.
03:04So she's got fame, looks, and a filthy rich boyfriend?
03:09That bitch is living her best life.
03:34What is it?
03:36Where are you?
03:38I'm busy, what do you want?
03:42If you don't have anything to say, don't bother calling me.
03:56Is your husband coming?
04:03No, he's not.
04:13OMG, check this out.
04:18Six weeks pregnant.
04:25I'm not pregnant.
04:28I'm not pregnant.
04:30I'm not pregnant.
04:39It was my birthday.
04:48But he never came home.
04:51Six weeks ago was my birthday.
04:53He never came home that night.
04:55Turns out he was with Stella and they're having a baby.
05:26Not right now.
05:28We talked about this.
05:30Then when?
05:32Or never?
05:36You forced me into this arrangement three years ago.
05:39Now you want even more from me from this fucking sham of a marriage.
05:42Sham?
05:44No, I didn't force you into anything.
05:47I love you. I only wanted to be with you.
05:50Hey, drop the act.
05:52We both know that you married me for my money and I married you to get my family off my back.
05:56Let's not pretend otherwise.
06:03Where are you going?
06:05It's none of your business.
06:07Have you ever loved me?
06:10Even for a second?
06:13Elijah?
06:18I want a divorce.
06:42Where are you going?
06:43Where does it look like I'm going? I'm leaving.
06:45To the mall, you mean?
06:47Do some retail therapy with my money?
06:49What part of I want a divorce don't you understand?
06:52Besides, the quicker you sign those papers, the quicker you can move your new girlfriend in.
06:56Isn't that what you want?
06:59Don't fuck around with me.
07:01Let me go.
07:02Where are you going to go?
07:04Where are you going to live? You can't even afford a pair of shoes on your own.
07:07I'll find a job.
07:08You haven't worked a day in your life.
07:10You have all those luxuries that you're so used to.
07:12I provide it.
07:15Funny.
07:16Is that supposed to sound like care or concern?
07:26There.
07:28I won't take another cent from you.
07:30I'm going to go start my new life now.
07:33You can kiss my ass.
07:37Oh, and one more thing.
07:40If you're having issues getting hard, I would highly suggest seeing a dick doctor.
07:44Nobody wants to be stuck in a sexless marriage.
08:11Oh, my God.
08:13How can you do this to me?
08:17I've been married for three years.
08:21Stop. Stop crying.
08:24You can stay with me for as long as you'd like.
08:29Happy?
08:30Married?
08:32Yes.
08:35I've got to find a job ASAP.
08:37I mean, my mom's hospital bills are not going to pay themselves.
08:40Well, I heard Director Quentin is holding auditions for his next film.
08:46I think you should do it.
08:47What are you, crazy?
08:49No, that audition is for the lead role.
08:52My resume is absolutely blank.
08:54I haven't acted in years.
08:56Don't sell yourself short.
08:58You graduated at the top of your class at Juilliard.
09:03You're way better than most of these actresses in Hollywood.
09:06Especially that home-wrecking bitch, Stella Hill.
09:12You know what?
09:13You're right.
09:15Okay, I am a changed woman.
09:18No more crying over Elijah.
09:20No more being jealous.
09:21I am going to go to that audition.
09:24And I'm going to crush it.
09:25Yeah!
09:26Atta girl!
09:34Elijah.
09:36That lead role Director Quentin's casting for?
09:39I want it.
09:40I already spoke with Steve about it. It's yours.
09:42You're the best.
09:44You know, I'm alone right now.
09:46How about you...
09:47I'm busy.
09:56Why do you want a divorce?
09:58I gave you everything you ever needed.
10:01I gave you everything you ever needed.
10:23Oh my God.
10:25She's gorgeous.
10:26She's got to be a big-time actress.
10:28I mean, look at her.
10:32Surprise to see you here.
10:35Are you auditioning for a role?
10:37Pretty sure the director's not looking to hire a monkey.
10:40Well, I hope for your sake they're looking for a husband-stealing whore.
10:47Go ahead.
10:49Give your fans a show.
11:01I stole him from you.
11:03Oh, honey.
11:04You practically gave him to me.
11:06Elijah hates you, by the way.
11:08He despises coming home and sharing the same air as you.
11:14But we're very grateful.
11:17If it's a girl, maybe we'll name her after you.
11:24Maybe we'll name her after you.
11:26Be my guest.
11:28You know what?
11:30Maybe you and his next mistress can start a little tradition.
11:36You'll have to let me know, since I won't be there to see it.
11:48Elijah!
11:50Do you sure that I have the role I still have to audition?
11:53Yeah, it's just a formality.
11:55That bitch doesn't stand a chance.
11:57Thank you so much, Elijah.
11:59One more, please?
12:01One more, please?
12:06Jeez.
12:08Hey, Elijah.
12:10I realize you're our biggest investor,
12:13but the director can't stand her.
12:16He's got a final say on casting.
12:18My hands are tied.
12:20I'll give you two million to untie them.
12:23You gotta be kidding me.
12:27Oh, James.
12:31You won't love me?
12:33You won't let me go?
12:37Just tell me.
12:39Do you love me or Yvonne?
12:44Cut.
12:47That was so good, wasn't it?
12:50That was so good, wasn't it?
12:52Okay, so, um, so you're, um, Ms. Hill.
12:57Ms. Hill, um, see, I think your character, Sophie,
13:01feels things sort of more internally.
13:05Which means, like, inside.
13:07So, um, but try to be in this place where
13:13you're in love with James, but James has told you to go away
13:17because James is gonna marry Yvonne,
13:19but then James tells you to come back.
13:21Do you understand?
13:26Does she need an interpreter?
13:28I don't know.
13:29Okay, all right, we're gonna move on.
13:31Who's next?
13:32Oh, me.
13:34Who's next?
13:35Oh, me.
13:36I'll go next.
13:37You?
13:38You don't have any experience.
13:39Director, she's never acted in anything in her life.
13:42You know, everybody has to start with something.
13:44And, you know, I graduated top of my class at Juilliard.
13:48And I have excellent letters of recommendation.
13:51Okay, what, you think this is a school variety talent show?
13:55No, this is a multi-million dollar production.
13:59Just two minutes.
14:01Please, that's all I'm asking.
14:05I absolutely couldn't care less.
14:07It'll be faster than getting the next person.
14:09Just go, go, go.
14:10Just go.
14:11Thank you.
14:15Thank you.
14:27Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
14:39Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
14:43Where are you?
14:44I'm busy, what do you want?
14:49James.
14:52You won't love me.
14:54And you won't let me go.
14:58Just tell me who you love.
15:01Me or Yvonne.
15:04You can't have us both.
15:07I want a divorce.
15:13Just...
15:17If you love Yvonne, then go be with her.
15:23And you and I will never see each other again.
15:35Um, I'm finished.
15:39What is your name?
15:41I need to call my mom.
15:43Before you do, cancel every Sophie audition that I have the rest of this day.
15:50Wait.
15:51So that means that...
15:53You've got the power.
15:58I'm sorry.
15:59I'm sorry.
16:00I'm sorry.
16:01I'm sorry.
16:02I'm sorry.
16:03I'm sorry.
16:04I'm sorry.
16:05I'm sorry.
16:06I'm sorry.
16:07You've got the power.
16:10Get off.
16:14Steve!
16:15Perfect timing.
16:18I just found our leading lady and you're going to...
16:23Whoever that is, retract the offer.
16:25What?
16:26Why?
16:27The decision's already been made.
16:28Stella Hill's gonna play Sophie.
16:30Stella Hill?
16:31Stella...
16:32My dead dog can act better than Stella Hill.
16:36At least he can do a convincing play dead.
16:38Just...
16:39Steve!
16:40Steve, just give my pick a chance.
16:42You will not regret it.
16:46Who's the actress?
16:47She says her name is Emma Brown.
16:48Emma Brown?
16:51Isn't that your wife?
16:53Isn't that your wife?
16:54You can't have us both.
16:56If you love Yvonne, then go be with her.
16:59I didn't know she was so talented.
17:03Reject her.
17:06Don't make me repeat myself.
17:18Unfortunately, there's been a miscommunication
17:22and the role is going to Stella Hill.
17:26Stella?
17:27Could this be Elijah?
17:28What is, is it?
17:30Dude, you just snatched a role away from your wife
17:33to give it to Stella.
17:35Why?
17:39Why?
17:42Sean, you stupid bastard,
17:44why did you jump in front of me?
17:47Hey, hey, hey, hey, stay with me.
17:49Hey, we're gonna make it out of this thing alive, okay?
17:51You're my best friend.
17:54We're not gonna make it.
17:56No, fuck.
17:57We're not doing this, Sean.
17:58We're not fucking doing this right now.
17:59Come on.
18:00My sister, Stella.
18:03She's the only family I got.
18:06I need you to promise me to take care of her.
18:18Promise me.
18:22I promise.
18:23Promise me.
18:27I'll take care of her, Sean.
18:30Sean?
18:31Sean?
18:32Hey, hey, hey!
18:33Meg!
18:34Fuck, Sean!
18:35Sean!
18:36Sean!
18:38Stella's brother died because of me.
18:41And I made a promise that I would take care of her.
18:43At the expense of your wife?
18:44She doesn't need a job.
18:46Okay, not when she's married to me for my money.
18:51You asshole!
18:52I heard everything.
18:56You asshole!
18:58I heard everything that you said.
19:00You know, I didn't think that you would stoop so low as to play dirty,
19:03but I guess I was wrong.
19:05Welcome to the real world.
19:07I'll keep auditioning.
19:09You don't own the whole world.
19:11No.
19:12No, just part of it.
19:16Listen,
19:17this is another one of your ploys to get my attention.
19:21It's way easier to do it in bed.
19:24Fuck you, you can't even get up.
19:35I can.
19:37Get it up.
19:39Yeah.
19:46Well, I can't go to my meeting like this.
19:48So?
19:51I'm gonna lose millions on this deal because of your little temper.
19:54Well, you cost me my job, I cost you your deal.
19:57Sounds fair to me.
20:01Mate?
20:02Is this spare shirt still in the car?
20:05Good.
20:08What the hell? Let go!
20:10You want a divorce, right?
20:12Papers are in the car, I'll sign them.
20:14I hope you're full of it.
20:15Or we could just stay married.
20:20Lead the way.
20:47You see something you like?
20:50I was just thinking you're lucky your body makes up for your shit personally.
20:59Well, I guess that makes you the lucky one then, doesn't it?
21:14Get off of me.
21:17The divorce papers, you said that they're here.
21:20Yeah, I lied.
21:21You are full of shit.
21:23Hey!
21:24Hey, get off me! Put me down!
21:26Apple!
21:28Hey!
21:29Hey, let me...
21:30Stop! Would you stop screaming?
21:34Okay?
21:38Look, I needed a place to talk to you, privately.
21:42Or others won't hear about our possible divorce.
21:45Not just our possible divorce, it's going to happen.
21:48Okay, well, if you want it to happen without ruining both of our lives,
21:51then you'll listen to me.
21:56My mother has invited us to dinner.
21:59And I need you to be there as my wife.
22:05My mother has invited us to dinner.
22:08And I need you to be there as my wife.
22:11Okay, well, you better tell her that I'm not coming.
22:18You know my mom.
22:21If she finds out we're divorcing, she's going to go on a war path.
22:25And it won't just be us and her crosshairs.
22:27She'll take down your entire family.
22:30What? You can stop her?
22:32If she names me the successor of my family's business.
22:37And she's only going to do that if we're married.
22:41I can protect you and your family.
22:50I would rather die than take another cent from you.
22:55Take care of my family on my own.
23:00Emma!
23:02You're making a mistake.
23:04I know I did.
23:06You're making a mistake.
23:07I know I did.
23:09By marrying you.
23:19Dad?
23:21Is everything okay?
23:22Hey, kid.
23:24I, uh, I just need a little help.
23:27I need you to talk Elijah into spotting me 500,000.
23:31Dad, did you get scammed again?
23:34My savings account is already wiped out from last time.
23:38Mom is still in the hospital.
23:39I owe these people money.
23:41Just ask your husband for help.
23:43Or I'm dead.
23:45This is the mob we're talking about.
23:47You were gambling again?
23:49Dad, I need you to swear to me that this is the last time that this is going to happen.
23:56Or you're never going to see me again. Is that clear?
24:01I swear it, Emma.
24:05When do you need the money by?
24:09Two days.
24:10What?
24:11Just, just call Elijah, please.
24:22Whatever you're asking for, the answer is no.
24:24Damn it, Elijah.
24:30It kills me to even type this.
24:33I need to borrow $500,000 from you.
24:37It's life or death.
24:40Emma.
24:41Hey, hey, what's going on? Is everything okay?
24:43Um, no, no, I'm fine. It's, it's my dad.
24:49He owes the mob money.
24:51Well, why should I help out your dad?
24:54I mean, you just said that you didn't need my money.
24:56It's a loan, okay? I'll pay you back.
24:59Well, does it look like I need money?
25:01Okay, so what do you want instead?
25:03I want you to be my wife.
25:05The deal that we discussed.
25:07You continue to act like we're married until my mother names me her successor.
25:14Fine.
25:16Deal.
25:19Emma, money just hit my account, yes!
25:23My son-in-law is the man!
25:26I didn't expect you to send the money that fast.
25:29Well, you're still my wife. Of course I would.
25:33Elijah, seriously, thank you.
25:38Elijah, honey, pick up the phone.
25:45Elijah, honey, pick up the phone.
25:49All this talk about me being his wife and his mistress is literally there,
25:55meant never change.
25:59Elijah, thank you so much for getting me the lead in the biggest...
26:04Stop that, Stella.
26:08Look, I gotta go.
26:09Wait, can't you stay for dinner?
26:10Look, I was only here to drop off the coat that you left at the studio.
26:17What do you think you're doing?
26:18Isn't it obvious?
26:20Stella, stop with the games. I'm married.
26:24What part of I want a divorce don't you understand?
26:27Wait, can't you just have a snack before you go?
26:30Hang on.
26:32I've spent all day making you this.
26:36Just have one bite.
26:38I'm allergic to strawberries.
26:57I love you.
27:27It's just my imagination.
27:31Sir, some tea for bedtime.
27:39That doesn't taste right.
27:40Mrs. Williams always personally prepared your tea before she left.
27:46Yeah, well, she knew my tastes well.
27:48Because she loved you, sir.
27:51Did she really love me?
27:54Maybe she just loved my money.
27:57I don't know.
28:11Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
28:15Your call is...
28:16Did you just reject my call?
28:21The deal is to act like we're married in front of your mom.
28:24Your job description didn't include anything else.
28:27Like talking to you.
28:31This woman.
28:39Elijah, I heard that recently you gave Emma's father more money.
28:45Is that true?
28:47Yeah. Yeah, I did.
28:50Hmm. Scum like that never learn their lesson.
28:55And neither do you, it seems, as you keep getting taken advantage of.
28:58It was an emergency, Mother. It won't happen again, I promise.
29:03You're promising that? How?
29:06You don't even have a job.
29:07Okay, enough, Mom.
29:08Am I wrong?
29:10What is this woman offering you, hmm?
29:13Three years is plenty of time to give you a child.
29:15Okay, well, I'm not ready to be a father.
29:17Well, then I suppose you're not ready to be the family's successor either.
29:22That's your brother is.
29:23Oh, my God. He knows nothing about the workings of our business.
29:27But he has given me two beautiful grandchildren.
29:32Unlike you.
29:38I tell you what.
29:40I will give you four...
29:43three months.
29:45Two months.
29:47To make me a grandbaby.
29:50If not, your brother will get...
29:54everything.
29:56Okay, Mom, you can't be serious.
29:57I am.
29:59Okay, Mom, you can't be serious.
30:00I am.
30:06You've been awfully quiet, Emma.
30:08Have any thoughts?
30:10What are your thoughts?
30:12Yeah, well, it's funny you ask.
30:14Actually, Elijah and I are getting...
30:16We're, um...
30:20We're working on it.
30:22Yeah, we're planning on having a baby together.
30:27Yep.
30:28We just can't wait to have our own little bundle of love.
30:32Love.
30:34Well, that's wonderful.
30:37Wonderful.
30:40You know, you two are awfully far apart.
30:43Why don't you sit closer together?
30:45No wonder it's taken you so long to make me a grandbaby.
30:51Go on.
30:53Go on.
30:55Don't be shy.
30:56Don't be shy.
30:58Hmm.
31:05Oh, honey.
31:07You have got to try some of this.
31:12Say, ah.
31:14Ah.
31:18Oh.
31:19Got a little something right here.
31:27Oh.
31:41You push me too far.
31:44Why? You're not enjoying my performance?
31:47No.
31:48Performance.
31:54What am I doing?
31:57Why didn't I just tell his mom that we're divorcing?
32:01Why am I hesitating?
32:12Elijah.
32:13What are you doing?
32:18We're supposed to be divorcing.
32:20Oh, so now you remember.
32:22What was all that earlier?
32:24I was putting on a show for your mom.
32:26She asked for it.
32:28So when did you start listening to her?
32:31I did it because you needed me to.
32:33Oh, so you do care about me.
32:35No.
32:36I care about holding my end of the deal.
32:39This is all for the sake of our divorce.
32:46Well, your act earlier was excellent.
32:49I'm a professional, remember?
32:51Really?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:53It seemed to me like in there we got swept away by your own performance.
32:58All part of the act.
33:00Well, then let's call this part of the act, too.
33:23What was that?
33:26Just gauging your commitment to the performance.
33:29You're full of it.
33:30Hey, if anything, I'm helping you rehearse kiss scenes.
33:33It's part of being an actress.
33:34Oh, so you're looking forward to me kissing other men?
33:42Mm-hmm.
33:44Don't forget your promise.
33:46I'll finish dinner with your mom.
33:48You sign the papers.
33:51All right, Mom.
33:58Love you, Mom.
34:06And we're done.
34:08All right, show's over.
34:10Sign the divorce papers.
34:12Nah.
34:13What?
34:14What?
34:16Come on, but you promised.
34:18You promised.
34:19Do not tell me that you are following through with your mother's request for us to have a grandchild,
34:25because I will not.
34:26Okay, you're overreacting, all right?
34:29The delay is to prevent suspicion.
34:33When she gets back to New York, we can proceed.
34:36You can stop with the excuses.
34:42Admit it.
34:43You don't want to divorce me.
34:45Why don't you just wait a little while longer and then get your divorce?
34:48Until then, just keep up the act and do whatever you want.
34:51Including seeing other men?
34:53I'm warning you, don't even think about it.
34:56Are you jealous?
34:59Jealous?
35:00I never get jealous.
35:02Am I?
35:03No.
35:04Come on, a scandal like that would force my mom's hand.
35:07As long as we're together, you're mine.
35:16I'm going to be out of your hair soon.
35:18I found this amazing apartment right by my mom's hospital.
35:21And you can manage rent.
35:22I have enough.
35:23Plus, it'll be really nice to be close by, you know, just in case anything happens.
35:28I know you probably don't want to hear this, but are you sure you want to leave Elijah?
35:34I mean, he's got money, which your family needs.
35:38No.
35:40Elijah and I are done.
35:43You know, my mom is already starting to get better.
35:46So, she'll be fine.
