Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I want us to be together.
00:00:02You know, I want to do a role that, you know, means something to people.
00:00:06I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
00:00:15Mitch!
00:00:16I mean, fuck, Claire, just don't test my patience, alright?
00:00:18Hey, I'm sorry.
00:00:24Claire, wait.
00:00:26You're being a little baby girl.
00:00:27I'm gonna call the cops.
00:00:29Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:00:31Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're gonna keep that baby.
00:00:33You can't force Mitch to have a baby with you, okay?
00:00:37Mitch, I love you.
00:00:39Mitch!
00:00:42Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:00:44God, that guy is such a bleach.
00:00:47Maybe Mitch had something to go on for.
00:00:51Mitch would never do that to me. Tell me that this is a lie.
00:00:54I swear if that's true, I will go to the press and I will tell them everything.
00:00:59Watch.
00:01:00Do you know what even threatened him?
00:01:02She threatened Mitch.
00:01:04Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:01:06You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:01:10You think that I ever loved you?
00:01:12You're nothing to me.
00:01:14You're worthless, you're shit on my shit.
00:01:17I've been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years.
00:01:32And I have the perfect plan.
00:01:34Hey, babe.
00:01:35Hey.
00:01:36How you doing?
00:01:38How was your day?
00:01:39Good.
00:01:40I handed in that audition for that role I told you about.
00:01:44Yeah?
00:01:45Yeah, I hope I book it.
00:01:46Well, if you did a good job, you book it.
00:01:48That's how it works.
00:01:49I know.
00:01:50I just haven't booked anything for a while and, you know,
00:01:53it's been really, really difficult lately to, you know, even get a call back.
00:01:58Well, I did offer you a few roles, but you didn't want them.
00:02:02Yeah, but I don't want to do those type of roles, babe.
00:02:04You know, like I want to do a role where I'm telling a story and, you know,
00:02:09I'm not just showing my body.
00:02:11It's a shame, though, because it's a hell of a body.
00:02:16Yeah, but I don't want to flirt or, you know, use my sexuality to get to the top.
00:02:22I want them to cast me because of my acting skills.
00:02:25Yeah, but that's not how showbiz works, baby.
00:02:27Pretty little thing like you, you know, you've got to sweet talk your way to the top.
00:02:33Those acting skills alone are not going to be enough.
00:02:36No, I'm not going to flirt my way to the top.
00:02:39Plus, I'm committed to you.
00:02:42So why can't you put me in your movies?
00:02:45Because the kind of movies that I'm producing, you are not right for.
00:02:53We've talked about this.
00:02:54I know.
00:02:55I just feel like there's nothing going right in my life right now.
00:03:03Anyway, I got you something.
00:03:07And I'm sure it's beautiful, but do you know what I really want, Mitch?
00:03:13What?
00:03:15I don't want us to hide our relationship anymore, okay?
00:03:18You know, these directors, these producers,
00:03:20they might actually take me seriously if they're not with you.
00:03:23Bullshit.
00:03:24It would make it even worse, if anything.
00:03:26You'd have directors and producers that wouldn't even want to give you an audition
00:03:28because we're together.
00:03:30You don't understand how this industry works like I do.
00:03:34Okay.
00:03:35What if I gave up acting?
00:03:37Well.
00:03:38I would give up acting for you.
00:03:41Yeah, well, it's not really the right time for that.
00:03:43I mean, the way my career is and where I'm at,
00:03:46I can't pursue an official relationship.
00:03:48And to be honest, I can't be seen with a struggling actress either.
00:03:51A struggling actress?
00:03:52Okay, so that's why you don't want to be with me.
00:03:54Great.
00:03:55Now I know.
00:03:57Look, I don't know, all right, but you know what I'm saying.
00:04:00It's just it's not the right time.
00:04:02I mean, fuck, just don't test my patience, all right?
00:04:05Right, all right, I'm sorry.
00:04:07Hey, I'm sorry.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:09Hey, I won't bring it up again.
00:04:12No, like I said, I got you something.
00:04:16Hey.
00:04:18And it's beautiful.
00:04:24There was one more thing I wanted to talk to you about later.
00:04:28What?
00:04:29You know what?
00:04:32Don't worry about it, okay?
00:04:33Just don't worry.
00:04:34Hey.
00:04:35What is wrong with you today?
00:04:37You're here to make it up to me, aren't you?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41We've been a naughty girl today.
00:04:42Huh?
00:04:48Can I help you?
00:04:49I'm sorry.
00:04:50Can I help you?
00:04:51Sorry, I'm actually a really big fan of Al Gore.
00:04:54Seriously?
00:04:55Well, that's.
00:04:57Yeah, all this gold.
00:04:59Hi.
00:05:00Do you want to have a seat?
00:05:02I'd love to.
00:05:03Hi.
00:05:04Hi, I'm Alex.
00:05:05Claire, lovely to meet you.
00:05:07Nice to meet you.
00:05:09Sorry.
00:05:10It's okay.
00:05:11Sorry about that.
00:05:12So you're a fan of Gore's work?
00:05:15Yeah, I mean, I love all the classics and, you know, come to the library and get to chill
00:05:21out and just escape the world.
00:05:24Yeah, exactly.
00:05:26You know, I'm actually writing a screenplay on this book.
00:05:28Oh, you're a screenplay writer.
00:05:30Wow, that's amazing.
00:05:32Yeah, I write screenplays for a living.
00:05:34Oh, very cool.
00:05:35Screenplay writer.
00:05:36That's it.
00:05:37Very cool.
00:05:38Well, I actually work as an actress.
00:05:41Really?
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43Wow, okay.
00:05:44How's that going?
00:05:45Oh, it's good, but it's been a bit hard to book work lately.
00:05:49Tell me about it.
00:05:50Yeah, you feel me?
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54No, I'm struggling as well.
00:05:57I have a feeling that things are going to come around, you know?
00:05:59Yeah, definitely.
00:06:01I mean, I really hope they do.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07What's wrong?
00:06:10Is everything all right?
00:06:12Yeah.
00:06:13Look, I don't mean to bring up anything negative, but, you know, just work and then, you know,
00:06:20a problem with my relationship that hasn't been going very smooth lately.
00:06:26It's just, it is a lot on my mind.
00:06:29Do you want to talk about it?
00:06:31No, there's not much to say.
00:06:34I mean, a relationship with a man that doesn't want to be in public with me,
00:06:40a relationship has to stay secret.
00:06:43Why does it have to be secret?
00:06:45Because of who he is.
00:06:47It'll damage his reputation.
00:06:49Right.
00:06:50He's a producer as well.
00:06:53Who?
00:06:54Do you know Mitch Sterling?
00:06:56You're kidding.
00:06:59It's just, well, I mean, no, I've met the guy a couple of times, but, yeah,
00:07:05I can tell you I'm not friends with him in any way.
00:07:10No, and to make it worse, I'm actually pregnant.
00:07:15I'm having a little baby girl.
00:07:17Wow.
00:07:20Well, there's a silver lining there, I guess.
00:07:24Does he know about it?
00:07:27I haven't told him yet.
00:07:29I'll be honest with you, I'm actually really scared to tell him, but.
00:07:33Why?
00:07:35I don't know.
00:07:36I just, I don't think he's going to be very accepting,
00:07:38but I really hope that he's happy and is as excited as I am because I just,
00:07:45you know, I really can't wait to meet her.
00:07:49That's sweet.
00:07:50And, yeah, I'm sure he'll come around.
00:07:53He probably just needs time.
00:07:55Yeah, I know.
00:07:56I know.
00:07:58Oh, wow.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:00I love how positive you are.
00:08:02You're beautiful, Alex.
00:08:04Well, thank you.
00:08:05You're not so bad yourself.
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09I really needed your company today.
00:08:11This has been lovely.
00:08:14I know we just met, but something tells me we would make really good friends.
00:08:19I think so, too.
00:08:20So, I don't know if you're supposed to cheers coffee, but.
00:08:23Do it.
00:08:24Who cares?
00:08:25Cheers to that.
00:08:28So, I mean, you like books?
00:08:31Yeah, I love books.
00:08:33Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved to read and, you know,
00:08:36escape to this other place other than the real world.
00:08:39Yeah.
00:08:40After you.
00:08:42Such a gentleman.
00:08:45Wow, this place is beautiful.
00:08:48How did you find it?
00:08:49This place opened up about, like, two years ago, and I was the first customer.
00:08:54I mean, I've been recommending it to people ever since.
00:08:56I can see.
00:08:57Everyone knows you.
00:08:59Yeah, well, I don't know.
00:09:01Books make me feel at home.
00:09:04And like I said, I've been recommending it to everyone.
00:09:07I mean, they probably came in because of me.
00:09:09Probably.
00:09:11No, I know what you mean.
00:09:13I love the smell of books and the texture.
00:09:21No, I just, I wish that Mitch loved books like I do.
00:09:27Come on.
00:09:28Just wait until you see how beautiful the old editions are.
00:09:31Okay.
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33Any rereads you wanted to pick up?
00:09:34I'll challenge you to one.
00:09:36Okay.
00:09:38Um, I've had, um, Chicago on my mind lately.
00:09:42Excellent choice.
00:09:43My lady.
00:09:44I'll be right back.
00:09:45Just.
00:09:46Oh, there you go.
00:09:47Take a look at that.
00:09:50Okay.
00:09:52I bet you're going to have so much to talk about when we next each.
00:09:57Alex, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry to bring it up again, but.
00:10:02No, I really wish that.
00:10:04Mitch would do this type of thing with me.
00:10:07No, he never takes me anywhere.
00:10:09He's so adamant on our relationship being a secret.
00:10:14Well, I mean, he should at least take you to low profile places like this.
00:10:20Have you ever asked him to like a million times?
00:10:24Never listens.
00:10:26I mean, I think most of our time together is, you know, more passionate, more rushed.
00:10:33Sounds fun.
00:10:36Sorry, Alex.
00:10:37I have to take this.
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:54Hey.
00:10:58No, no.
00:11:01I meant to tell you in person.
00:11:03I got really excited and you were busy on set and.
00:11:10Wait, wait.
00:11:14Mitch, come on.
00:11:17Mitch, I love you.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:25I'm so excited.
00:11:26Why don't you come down to a really, really nice bookstore and it would be really lovely for us to speak in person.
00:11:32Mitch, I have loved you.
00:11:38I have stuck by you.
00:11:39I have been there for you.
00:11:41Why are you saying these things?
00:11:44Come on, Mitch.
00:11:50Come on, please.
00:11:51I know I'm not going to get rid of the baby.
00:11:54No, I have.
00:11:57I have loved you.
00:11:58I have loved you.
00:11:59Do you remember the first time that we met?
00:12:04Why are you saying this?
00:12:14No, no, no.
00:12:15Mitch, you just need to come and see me in person, please.
00:12:19We can have a chat.
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:21We can work things out.
00:12:22It's not going to ruin your reputation.
00:12:24It's baby.
00:12:26This baby's going to be beautiful and it's going to be our baby.
00:12:33It's going to be our baby, Mitch.
00:12:34Come on.
00:12:37No, no, no.
00:12:40Mitch, don't say that.
00:12:41Don't cut me off.
00:12:44Don't cut me off.
00:12:47Mitch!
00:12:49Mitch!
00:12:52Mitch, please, please, please, can we just have a...
00:13:01Hey, Claire, are you in some sort of...
00:13:04Jesus.
00:13:05Hey.
00:13:06Hey, you okay?
00:13:08Come here.
00:13:14Just calm down, all right?
00:13:16Just take a moment, yeah?
00:13:18Just breathe, okay?
00:13:21Okay.
00:13:24Claire, what happened?
00:13:27I don't believe it, Alex.
00:13:29What?
00:13:31He just...
00:13:33I've been with this man for years.
00:13:36I've stuck by him.
00:13:38I've loved him.
00:13:39I've been with him through everything and he just...
00:13:46He just...
00:13:49Hey.
00:13:57What did he say?
00:14:00Claire, what did he say?
00:14:04He said that he wants to abort the baby.
00:14:08He wants me to get rid of it and it's me or my baby.
00:14:16Jesus.
00:14:17It's me.
00:14:19Well, no, I'm sure he's just shocked, okay?
00:14:23It's a big thing and he'll come around.
00:14:26No, I'm sorry, Alex, because...
00:14:31I don't know what to do.
00:14:33I'm a single mum.
00:14:36I don't have barely any acting work.
00:14:39I don't know how I'm going to do this.
00:14:42You'll figure it out, yeah?
00:14:44You'll figure it out.
00:14:45You'll figure it out.
00:14:46Everything's going to be okay.
00:14:47It's going to be fine.
00:14:50You know, I don't want to raise this baby without a father.
00:14:58I want him to be a part of this baby's life, Alex.
00:15:01I want this child to grow up with both of us.
00:15:05You can't force him to have a baby with you, okay?
00:15:08You're going to have to give him time to accept this crazy situation.
00:15:14Yeah.
00:15:15I know, but I just thought that we'd have a future together.
00:15:19I know.
00:15:20I love him, Alex.
00:15:23I love him.
00:15:24I really...
00:15:26I thought that, you know, he would pick me over his job.
00:15:32Apparently not.
00:15:34Well, nothing is stopping you from raising this baby on your own, okay?
00:15:40And you know what?
00:15:41It sounds to me like you've made up your mind about who you want to have.
00:15:45Yeah?
00:15:47Nothing is all going to be okay.
00:15:50Exactly.
00:15:51You've got the fundamental thing figured out.
00:15:53Everything else, hey...
00:15:56I'm scared.
00:15:57I'm really scared.
00:16:00Okay.
00:16:08You know, I thought we'd have this future together and, you know, he would...
00:16:14He said that apparently it would ruin his reputation.
00:16:19That having a baby that he's not ready to have kids yet.
00:16:23Did he ever give you a reason for why he's saying all of this?
00:16:27Because he's a big movie director and it's going to ruin everything for him.
00:16:30He can't have kids and they're too much of a hustle.
00:16:34Okay.
00:16:35He said that about our baby.
00:16:40Just stay here.
00:16:43I'll be back.
00:16:44Just...
00:16:45Hey.
00:16:46Give me a moment, okay?
00:16:48Yeah?
00:16:49You're okay.
00:16:50You're such a good friend.
00:16:51Just...
00:16:52I'll be back.
00:16:53Just give me a minute.
00:16:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:08There's this really amazing bakery just around the corner.
00:17:12I was planning to take you there after this, but I guess I had to bring the bakery to you.
00:17:20I really needed this today.
00:17:22I'm really sorry, Alex.
00:17:24I know this was supposed to be a happy outing, right?
00:17:27Don't worry about it.
00:17:29It's life.
00:17:30These things happen to the best of us.
00:17:33You're very kind.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:39This was supposed to be a fun little outing.
00:17:43I don't know where it was.
00:17:45Alex, I have had so much fun with you today.
00:17:49You know, I felt so much joy until this went down.
00:17:54You know, I really hadn't felt that much joy in a long time.
00:17:58Come on, I'm sure you're used to Mitch giving you all these amazing things.
00:18:02I'm sorry, but I enjoy my time with Mitch, and he does a lot for me,
00:18:08but I enjoy the simple things in life, too.
00:18:12Yeah, and Mitch doesn't really understand that.
00:18:19You know what?
00:18:21My birthday is actually soon,
00:18:24and I would love if you would do my birthday tradition with me.
00:18:29A special birthday tradition, eh?
00:18:32Sounds intriguing.
00:18:34Will you come?
00:18:36I might have to.
00:18:39You're the best.
00:18:41Come in.
00:18:44Happy birthday, Chloe.
00:18:48I'm so glad you came.
00:18:50Of course I came.
00:18:51I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:18:52It's your special day.
00:18:54Oh, no, we haven't known each other that long, so I wasn't sure.
00:18:58Look, I don't think that matters, all right?
00:19:00Some people you just click with.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:08Wow, this is a really nice place.
00:19:13Mitch pays for it.
00:19:15He practically pays for everything, so, you know,
00:19:20he told me that I have to keep on the down low about the pregnancy.
00:19:24I can't breathe a word to anyone and to watch out for the press,
00:19:28so I'm kind of stuck here.
00:19:33I'm sorry.
00:19:35We shouldn't talk about.
00:19:37You know what?
00:19:39Let's just celebrate your birthday,
00:19:41and you can treat me to the special tradition that you have planned.
00:19:45Oh, yes, I'm going to blow your mind.
00:19:48I'm excited.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50So this is an old family recipe, and it has a special.
00:19:58Ingredient?
00:19:59Mm-hmm.
00:20:00Okay, and what would that be?
00:20:03Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:20:11Usually I bake this cake every year,
00:20:13and Mitch and I usually celebrate my birthday together.
00:20:18Well.
00:20:19I just wish that he would text or call or something.
00:20:22You know, it's my birthday.
00:20:25Well, that's his loss, all right, because this looks amazing.
00:20:33Claire, I know you said no gifts, but I couldn't resist.
00:20:38No, you shouldn't have.
00:20:40I know, I know, I know, but I wanted to, okay?
00:20:44It's your special day, and I wanted to give you something,
00:20:47especially with, you know, everything that's going on,
00:20:50and I just felt like I needed to cheer you up.
00:20:55Thanks.
00:20:58Wow, I wasn't expecting this.
00:21:02It's not much, but.
00:21:07It's beautiful.
00:21:09I love it.
00:21:13Oh, you're the best.
00:21:17I was really hoping you'd like it.
00:21:19Alex, you know what?
00:21:21You have been such an amazing friend.
00:21:23You know, I only met you a little while ago,
00:21:25and you have been there for me through all of this,
00:21:29and the present, and you're just a beautiful friend.
00:21:35The thing is, like, I can't even confide in my family,
00:21:38so, you know, I'm glad I've got you.
00:21:41Like, not even your mum, nothing?
00:21:43No, I'm not allowed to breathe the word of this to anyone.
00:21:47You know, Mitch says that it will ruin his reputation,
00:21:50it'll ruin our careers, so I don't know.
00:21:53Like, do you think that's true, Alex?
00:21:58I mean, yes, yes,
00:22:01the press sometimes leak things and expose truths that people don't like,
00:22:06but, you know, I think that people shouldn't keep secrets like that
00:22:10and fear them getting exposed.
00:22:13I know, but, you know, Mitch, he practically, as I said,
00:22:17he pays for everything.
00:22:19You know, he's got my house, my car, my clothes, my food,
00:22:24and the only thing that he asks is I keep quiet,
00:22:27so what do I do with that?
00:22:30I'm indebted to him, Alex.
00:22:32He's been really kind to me.
00:22:34OK, so what, he pays your bills and expects you to stay silent?
00:22:39Yeah, Alex, that's all he asks of me.
00:22:41You know, I'm completely dependent on him.
00:22:43I don't have a staple job and he's been really kind to me.
00:22:47OK, well, have you thought about getting a staple job?
00:22:51I've gone for a thousand auditions.
00:22:53No, no-one will give me a chance.
00:22:55No, I don't want to do a role that, you know,
00:22:58I want a role that, you know, impresses people
00:23:02and means something, you know, not showing my body.
00:23:06Yeah, well, that's what you deserve, all right,
00:23:08because you're an amazing actor.
00:23:12Can I tell you something that happened the other day?
00:23:15It was really strange.
00:23:16Yeah, yes, you can tell me anything.
00:23:18Yeah, so I went for an audition for a role I really wanted
00:23:22and I booked it.
00:23:23I was so happy.
00:23:25It's amazing.
00:23:27But then something really weird happened.
00:23:30What happened?
00:23:31I got dropped.
00:23:35And to this day, like, I still don't understand what happened.
00:23:39You know, I got the news right after I got the phone to Mitch.
00:23:44Wait, so you're saying that they dropped you after you told Mitch?
00:23:48Yeah, and I wanted him to be proud of me, you know.
00:23:50I was going to show him that I was going to make my place in the industry.
00:23:55And I even organized a meeting with the director.
00:23:58Yeah, and what did he say?
00:24:00Not much.
00:24:01You know, he didn't give me anything.
00:24:03And I said, look, I will re-audition.
00:24:05And he saw me on the phone to Mitch and then he just walked away and said,
00:24:09why don't you go do Mitch's projects instead of other people's?
00:24:12Okay, well, do you think that maybe Mitch had something to do with it?
00:24:18No, Mitch would never do that to me.
00:24:21He believes in me, Alex.
00:24:22He says I have great potential and I'm going to be a great actor one day.
00:24:25So, no.
00:24:26Okay, okay.
00:24:27Well, then why doesn't he put you in one of his projects?
00:24:29Because he says that, you know, the roles aren't right for me
00:24:32and that I need to go work in other people's projects.
00:24:35So I don't get it.
00:24:36What do I do?
00:24:43Who is it?
00:24:44It's Mitch.
00:24:45See, I knew you wouldn't forget.
00:24:47Hey, baby.
00:24:48How are you?
00:24:50See, I knew you wouldn't forget my birthday.
00:24:52Oh, my special cake.
00:24:56Mitch, I thought you were ringing up to wish me happy birthday.
00:25:03No.
00:25:05Mitch.
00:25:06No.
00:25:08I have kept this relationship for a secret for years, okay?
00:25:12You have no right to ask me to do something like that.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18Mitch, no.
00:25:20Okay?
00:25:21End of discussion.
00:25:22I won't.
00:25:23Okay, I can't.
00:25:25Just leave it, okay?
00:25:27Just leave it.
00:25:28He doesn't deserve to be here, Claire.
00:25:30It's going to be okay, all right?
00:25:32Don't let him ruin your birthday.
00:25:34I just don't get it, Alex.
00:25:37We were in love and he's changed so much.
00:25:43You know, I even said that I'd leave the industry for him.
00:25:46I'd give up my dream.
00:25:47I thought that one day he might marry me.
00:25:50I just don't get it.
00:25:53And you know what?
00:25:56I know what I'm having.
00:26:01Alex, I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:08Why can't he just want a baby?
00:26:14Claire, you are going to be the most amazing mother, okay?
00:26:24The mother of a beautiful little girl.
00:26:34Do you know what, Alex?
00:26:38I've got a name for her.
00:26:40What is it?
00:26:42I'm going to call her Claire.
00:26:44Do you like it?
00:26:46I love it.
00:26:53Alex.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:55How's the screenplay coming along?
00:26:58Yeah, not great.
00:27:01Dude, I'm stuck right now.
00:27:03I really thought that this was going to be the one,
00:27:05but it's just rejection after rejection after rejection.
00:27:11Could you hear back from Liberty Studios?
00:27:13Dude, the screenplay you sent me was a banger.
00:27:15Yeah, well, according to them, it's pretentious,
00:27:18controversial, and not sexy enough.
00:27:21Right.
00:27:23Well, I hope your luck turns around soon.
00:27:26It's a tough industry.
00:27:30So, uh, you been on any amateur sets recently?
00:27:34Oh, yeah.
00:27:35No, he's shooting one down at the studio at the moment.
00:27:37Cast Roxanne Amber as the leading lady.
00:27:40Are you kidding?
00:27:41No, not at all.
00:27:43Rumour has it that Mitch and her are secretly dating
00:27:46the last couple of months.
00:27:47What do you mean?
00:27:49I mean they've been dating while on the set for the last couple of months.
00:27:54And they're saying that he's going to propose soon.
00:27:58No, there's no way.
00:28:00That would affect the shoot, sure.
00:28:02You think Mitch cares?
00:28:03It's pitch.
00:28:05Oh, my God, that guy is such a leech.
00:28:09Don't worry about it too much.
00:28:11Mitch goes through women like he goes through cigars.
00:28:14Right?
00:28:15They won't last long.
00:28:20All right.
00:28:21Well, um, I guess I'll be going then.
00:28:26The missus and my dog are probably waiting for me back at home.
00:28:30Except you're not married, so.
00:28:33Well, I am in my mind.
00:28:35But that's adorable.
00:28:37Hey, is there anyone you think of that way?
00:28:43There's a certain someone on my mind from time to time.
00:28:50Well, good luck, buddy.
00:28:54I really wasn't in the mood for this today, Mitch.
00:28:57I really just want to stay in bed.
00:28:59Look, I know, but you need some sun and some fresh air, okay?
00:29:04And it'll be good for the baby.
00:29:06You can't just stay cooped up inside all day.
00:29:09You want her to be healthy, right?
00:29:11No.
00:29:12Exactly.
00:29:13You're always right.
00:29:15And look, now that you're here, why don't you look around?
00:29:19Pick out some books.
00:29:20Reading is very relaxing.
00:29:22It'll be good for you.
00:29:25Yeah, you're right.
00:29:27All right.
00:29:28Did you want anything?
00:29:30Do you want me to recommend you something good?
00:29:33I think I was feeling Oscar Wilde today.
00:29:37Spectacular.
00:29:38Excellent choice.
00:29:40The Importance of Being Earnest will be your next read,
00:29:43and I'm buying it for you.
00:29:46Sorry.
00:29:49Bye.
00:29:54Claire, wait.
00:29:57You know, I'm pregnant with his child, and here's the audacity.
00:30:06Claire, just let it go, and we'll look at some books,
00:30:12and we'll go to the bakery afterwards.
00:30:14You know about this?
00:30:15Were you hiding this from me, Alex?
00:30:17Is that why you took me here today?
00:30:19Claire, look, just let them be, all right?
00:30:23Just focus on yourself, please.
00:30:25You know what?
00:30:26Claire, Claire, just let them go.
00:30:28Just wait.
00:30:29Claire, wait.
00:30:31Mitch!
00:30:32Mitch, I need to speak to you right now.
00:30:34Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:30:36Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're going to keep that baby.
00:30:38What is this, huh?
00:30:40Tell me that this is a lie.
00:30:42For fuck's sake, Claire.
00:30:44You know what the press are like.
00:30:45They don't care if something's true.
00:30:46They don't fucking print anything as long as they need to read it.
00:30:48I swear if that's true, I will go to the press,
00:30:51and I will tell them everything.
00:30:53Watch.
00:30:55Hey.
00:30:59Now, listen, sweetheart.
00:31:01You know that I wouldn't do that, right?
00:31:04Yeah, so why didn't you give me the cold shoulder then?
00:31:07Why did you not want our own baby, Mitch?
00:31:10Is it because of her?
00:31:12Or is it this public relationship talk?
00:31:15It's all fucking bullshit, isn't it?
00:31:17I don't even know her that well.
00:31:19She's the lead actress in my new movie.
00:31:21That is it.
00:31:23Claire, you are the woman I want to marry.
00:31:26You are the one I love.
00:31:30Do you actually mean that, Doug?
00:31:33Of course.
00:31:36And I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to realize it,
00:31:38but I know what I want now.
00:31:43Right?
00:31:45Sweetheart, listen.
00:31:48What you read is all lies, I swear.
00:31:53Then why did you push me away?
00:31:55Mitch, you just cut me off.
00:31:57You just left.
00:32:00I'm sorry for what I said, and I'm sorry for what I did.
00:32:04I guess I just wasn't ready to accept things at that stage,
00:32:07and I was very stressed with work.
00:32:13All right.
00:32:16Now, you know that I've been really busy with my movie, yeah?
00:32:20That's all it is.
00:32:22I had issues with locations and budgets and cast.
00:32:28It's not an excuse, but what's this about going to the press, hey?
00:32:32I mean, come on.
00:32:34We're just stooping to their level.
00:32:36And if I know one thing, it's that you're better than that.
00:32:40Mitch, I couldn't stomach the thought of you going out with another woman,
00:32:46marrying another woman, and then I'm pregnant with our baby girl.
00:32:51I just couldn't.
00:32:53Of course.
00:32:55Look, how about I make up for lost time, yeah?
00:32:59I want us to be a family, Claire.
00:33:03Do you actually mean that, Mitch?
00:33:05You want this?
00:33:06More than anything.
00:33:08I've missed you so much these past few months,
00:33:11and I'm so sorry for everything.
00:33:15Shh.
00:33:18I missed you too.
00:33:21I really thought I'd lost you too.
00:33:25Never.
00:33:27You could never lose me, not even if you tried.
00:33:31Now, why don't I take you out on Friday night and make up for it,
00:33:35or at least start to make up for it, somewhere special, yeah?
00:33:38Where are we going?
00:33:39Oh, that's a surprise.
00:33:41It'll be just the two of us.
00:33:43Like the good old days.
00:33:45Yeah, I was so angry at Alex, you know?
00:33:48Like I marched into his house when I confronted him.
00:33:51Do you know what even threatened him?
00:33:53Really?
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:55I told him that I would tell the tabloid about everything.
00:33:58You said that to him?
00:33:59You said that to Mitch?
00:34:00Yeah.
00:34:01I don't know what came over me.
00:34:02Like I was so mad.
00:34:03I even got in the magazine, and I hit him.
00:34:0722 back.
00:34:09And then the next minute, he was, you know, telling me that he loved me,
00:34:13and he was holding my hand, and he said he wants to be a family,
00:34:17and it was beautiful.
00:34:19Alex, I think he may propose tonight.
00:34:22Okay.
00:34:24Claire, I don't think that he meant that apology, all right?
00:34:27Please just listen to me.
00:34:29People have been talking about him and Roxanne for a long time now,
00:34:32and I think that he wants to marry her.
00:34:35I'm sorry.
00:34:37I don't know.
00:34:39Why would you say something like that to me?
00:34:42Like, Alex, why can't you be happy for me?
00:34:45Like if Mitch said it's a lie, it's a lie, okay?
00:34:49So if you can't be happy for me, then you should leave.
00:34:54Claire, please listen, okay?
00:34:56I don't think that you're going to be safe with him.
00:34:58Where is he taking you tonight?
00:34:59That's a surprise.
00:35:00Claire, just please listen, all right?
00:35:02You know that I want what's best for you.
00:35:04I don't want to hear it, Alex.
00:35:07Please!
00:35:08I'm begging you, don't go!
00:35:12Sorry.
00:35:17You look absolutely beautiful, Heather.
00:35:23I've missed you, baby.
00:35:24I've missed you too.
00:35:26I've been thinking a lot about our life together, about the future.
00:35:30Got lots of plans.
00:35:32Really?
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:37And also, I'm going to have my team make a statement.
00:35:41A press release about us.
00:35:43You don't have to tell anyone else, all right, silly girl?
00:35:46That was so angry!
00:35:48I know.
00:35:49I liked it.
00:35:50You were a little bit scary, a bit feisty.
00:35:52Maybe I could see that side tonight when we get home, huh?
00:35:55Our home.
00:35:57Really?
00:35:58Mm-hmm.
00:35:59You want me to come home?
00:36:00The house has been so empty without you.
00:36:03After tonight, I'm going to make sure you don't go anywhere else.
00:36:08I love you, baby.
00:36:10You ready to be surprised?
00:36:11Super.
00:36:12Let's go.
00:36:13We're waiting for her.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:16Well?
00:36:17Wow, this place is, you know, it's big.
00:36:22What do you do here?
00:36:24This is one of my old movie sets.
00:36:27But now I just come here to watch.
00:36:29What do you watch?
00:36:31I watch movies.
00:36:34It's a private cinema.
00:36:36It's a top secret one just for us.
00:36:38No one else will be disturbing us.
00:36:41I mean, that's nice, Mitch, but, you know, I thought we were going to go to dinner.
00:36:44Yeah.
00:36:45And...
00:36:46We will go for dinner afterwards, hungry girl.
00:36:51I know, but it's just...
00:36:53What's wrong?
00:36:55No one's around and, you know...
00:36:57Yeah, I don't want anyone else here.
00:37:00I want you all to myself.
00:37:02Yeah, but it's just...
00:37:04I don't want anyone else to join us.
00:37:06Mitch, why did you bring me here?
00:37:08I thought dinner and this is just...
00:37:12It's weird.
00:37:14Well, I'm sorry.
00:37:15What are you, five?
00:37:17I mean, who wouldn't want to be on a date here at a private cinema with me in a three-piece suit?
00:37:21Come on.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:24You're a big girl for once, huh?
00:37:26Want to pick a movie?
00:37:27Or you want to make one?
00:37:29A movie would be nice.
00:37:31Yeah?
00:37:32Oh, I've missed your soft skin, huh?
00:37:37Mitch.
00:37:38Mitch.
00:37:40Come here.
00:37:41Come on, Mitch.
00:37:42Don't act like...
00:37:43Don't act like you've done it before.
00:37:44It's been over.
00:37:45Mitch!
00:37:46Mitch!
00:37:47I'm pregnant!
00:37:48Come on.
00:37:49Mitch!
00:37:50I'm serious!
00:37:53God damn it!
00:37:55Hey, Alex.
00:37:57Hey.
00:37:59Calm down.
00:38:00What's going on?
00:38:01Hey?
00:38:02I don't know.
00:38:03I just have a really bad feeling about something, okay?
00:38:06Claire and Mitch, that bastard, he pretended to apologise to her and now he's taking her
00:38:12somewhere tonight.
00:38:13Who?
00:38:14Mitch?
00:38:15Is this the pregnant actress you were talking to me about?
00:38:17She said that they reconciled and that he said that he loved her and that, you know...
00:38:22God, that he was going to take the baby and that he was going to take care of them both
00:38:26and get married.
00:38:27She's too innocent.
00:38:28She doesn't understand these things.
00:38:30Wait, Mitch apologised?
00:38:33Mitch apologised?
00:38:34He's never apologised to anyone in his life.
00:38:38Look, he...
00:38:40She threatened him, alright?
00:38:41She threatened to take the pregnancy to the press, okay?
00:38:44And...
00:38:45Oh, God, man.
00:38:46She...
00:38:48Claire threatened him.
00:38:51She threatened Mitch?
00:38:52Yes.
00:38:53Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:38:55She's amazing, man.
00:38:56She's amazing, man.
00:38:57I'm telling you.
00:38:58I mean, her laugh, her smile.
00:39:00She's...
00:39:01God, she's so beautiful.
00:39:02How does that moron not see it?
00:39:05Sounds like you've fallen pretty hard, my friend.
00:39:07Look, I don't care about that right now, okay?
00:39:09I just...
00:39:10All I care about is that she is safe and as far away from that bastard as possible.
00:39:16God, where is he taking her?
00:39:19Look, I did overhear Mitch saying that he was going to take some girl to the studio.
00:39:24What, the abandoned building?
00:39:26Yeah, well, it used to be a movie set.
00:39:28Then it was a studio.
00:39:29Some people say it's cursed, but Mitch still has the title.
00:39:32I...
00:39:33I need to get there, quickly.
00:39:35Hey, hey, don't you think you're being a little paranoid?
00:39:37I need to make sure, okay?
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:40Okay, maybe just observe for a distance.
00:39:42Alright?
00:39:43So you don't get yourself hurt.
00:39:45Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
00:39:47Thanks, man.
00:39:55Oh!
00:39:57Claire!
00:39:59Oh!
00:40:00Oh!
00:40:01Claire!
00:40:02Claire!
00:40:04Help!
00:40:15Smile, sweetheart.
00:40:17You know, you wanted it as well.
00:40:19I needed that.
00:40:21You didn't have to be so rough.
00:40:23You know, I'm pregnant, and...
00:40:26Oh, baby, baby, baby.
00:40:29No one forced you to come here.
00:40:32Don't act so innocent.
00:40:34Probably planned that little fucking brat as well just to try and trap me.
00:40:37What?
00:40:39Mitch, I thought you were...
00:40:41I thought you were happy.
00:40:43Oh, did you?
00:40:45You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:40:50You're more stupid than I thought.
00:40:53I thought that we...
00:40:54I thought...
00:40:56I thought we reconciled.
00:40:58Did you?
00:40:59Yeah.
00:41:00Come on.
00:41:01Okay, okay.
00:41:03You think that I ever loved you?
00:41:05You're nothing to me, you hear me?
00:41:07You're worthless.
00:41:08You're shit on my shoe.
00:41:10Huh?
00:41:11I've got something for you.
00:41:12I've got something for you.
00:41:13What?
00:41:14No!
00:41:16Ha ha ha!
00:41:17I'm the biggest producer in this country, you hear?
00:41:20Any girl would want to be with me.
00:41:22Go on, breathe in here, baby.
00:41:23Big breaths.
00:41:24Big breaths.
00:41:27She'll be with you soon.
00:41:29Huh?
00:41:30That's it.
00:41:32That's it.
00:41:34Sleep tight.
00:41:52Water.
00:42:07Water.
00:42:23What time is it?
00:42:27How did I get here?
00:42:30Claire!
00:42:31Claire, is she okay?
00:42:32Is Claire here?
00:42:33Sir, please calm down.
00:42:35We'll tell you in a minute.
00:42:36You need to rest.
00:42:37I need to see Claire.
00:42:38Is she okay?
00:42:39Is she here?
00:42:40Is she okay?
00:42:41Your injuries are extremely serious.
00:42:42How did I get here?
00:42:43Somebody alerted the cops that there was smoke coming from the abandoned studio.
00:42:47You and the woman were rescued.
00:42:52Claire's okay.
00:42:54She's...
00:42:56Is she alright?
00:42:57Is she hurt?
00:42:59Sir, I am deeply sorry to say that the woman didn't make it.
00:43:04No.
00:43:06No, no, she...
00:43:08It's not true.
00:43:09I don't believe you.
00:43:10Where is she?
00:43:11I need to see her, please!
00:43:12I need to see her!
00:43:13Calm down.
00:43:14Please.
00:43:15She can't be gone.
00:43:16I need to see Claire.
00:43:17She can't be gone.
00:43:18She can't be...
00:43:19Sir, we're sorry to inform you, but...
00:43:20She wasn't able to survive the burns.
00:43:22She couldn't be saved.
00:43:24She was in the fire for too long.
00:43:25Her body is disfigured beyond recognition.
00:43:30But we were able to save the baby.
00:43:33The baby?
00:43:34Claire?
00:43:35She's alive?
00:43:36The baby is still premature and is in the incubation room.
00:43:38But she is breathing.
00:43:40And she is alive.
00:43:42Oh, God.
00:43:44Oh, she's alive.
00:43:50Can I see her?
00:43:51Can I see the baby?
00:43:52Sir, we will bring her here where she can breathe on her own.
00:43:55You need to rest for now.
00:44:06Claire.
00:44:07Nice to meet you.
00:44:08Claire.
00:44:09Happy birthday, Claire.
00:44:10Stop.
00:44:11Don't do that.
00:44:12Claire?
00:44:13Please.
00:44:14Please, I'm begging you.
00:44:15Don't go.
00:44:16I think we'd be really good friends.
00:44:17Claire.
00:44:21Are you Alex?
00:44:23Yes, I'm...
00:44:26You must be Claire's mum.
00:44:31Nice to meet you.
00:44:34I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.
00:44:38Claire always spoke so highly of you.
00:44:42What happened to my daughter?
00:44:44How did this happen?
00:44:46I don't know.
00:44:47I don't know what happened.
00:44:48How did this happen?
00:44:52It was an accident.
00:44:55I couldn't save her. I'm so sorry.
00:44:59They told me she was pregnant and the baby survived.
00:45:02I didn't know what was going on in Claire's life.
00:45:05She wouldn't tell me anything.
00:45:08And it's the father. Where is he?
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:14When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:45:16She never talked about him.
00:45:19I never asked.
00:45:20How did you keep such a big secret from me?
00:45:23My poor Claire.
00:45:25The father's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:28I'm afraid he's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:30Even when she was alive.
00:45:33And I don't think he's going to be turning up any time soon.
00:45:36How terrible.
00:45:39My poor daughter and her poor child.
00:45:42Claire.
00:45:46Oh, she's beautiful.
00:45:51She looks just like my daughter when she was a baby.
00:45:57How precious.
00:45:59Oh, if only her mother were here.
00:46:03Claire wouldn't have named her Clara.
00:46:07Baby Clara.
00:46:09You're coming with me now.
00:46:13Claire.
00:46:15Hey.
00:46:17You're going to be OK.
00:46:20What tells me that she'll grow up an orphan?
00:46:24Oh, I hope her father changes his mind and shows up.
00:46:28Now that Claire's gone,
00:46:31he's needed more than ever.
00:46:34But...
00:46:41If he changes his mind and shows up, please let me know.
00:46:48I'll come and visit the two of you from time to time.
00:46:51That's all right.
00:46:53I'll check and make sure that everything's OK.
00:46:56See if Clara needs anything.
00:47:00For Claire's sake.
00:47:04You're too kind.
00:47:06I'm so glad Claire had someone like you in her life.
00:47:10CLAIRE CRYING
00:47:30All right, time to celebrate.
00:47:33Happy birthday, Clara.
00:47:35Oh, I've been so looking forward to today.
00:47:38Well, it's a very important birthday for you.
00:47:40Please blow out the candles.
00:47:45How is it important?
00:47:46Well, first of all, you have had such an amazing year.
00:47:49I mean, the roles that you have landed in,
00:47:52everything that you have accomplished,
00:47:53and at such a young age,
00:47:55I am so, so proud of you.
00:47:57Girl, you heard them two by yourself.
00:48:00Well, practically, them both sought after Swimming Bride
00:48:02I ever wanted to buy them booty.
00:48:04How does it feel to have so much money?
00:48:06Well, come on.
00:48:07I mean, you're the one who's so successful
00:48:09and knows what it means to be talented, all right?
00:48:12I was just a humble guy until just recently.
00:48:15Well, I couldn't have done any of this without you as well.
00:48:18No, no, you're the one with the talent
00:48:21and you have such a good head on your shoulders.
00:48:23I mean, most actors don't, especially at a young age.
00:48:28So many of them get this unpleasant serum status.
00:48:32I've heard about that.
00:48:33Thankfully, I've gotten this far unscathed.
00:48:36Clara, I think it's time that you knew something.
00:48:41Do what?
00:48:43I think that it's time that you knew the truth about your parents.
00:48:48My parents? What about my parents?
00:48:50Has my father come around?
00:48:51No, no, the passing of your mother
00:48:55and the absence of your father
00:48:58occurred under very complex circumstances.
00:49:03I think I've asked Nana, like, a million and two times
00:49:06about what happened.
00:49:07She always gives me the same exact story.
00:49:09Mama was an actress and she moved away to find more gigs
00:49:13and there was just less and less communication
00:49:16until Ben showed up one day, dead, mysterious,
00:49:21and I was just left with no dad.
00:49:24Well, just get ready because it is a lot to take in.
00:49:30Okay, so, I met your mother 20 years ago.
00:49:34She had just found out that she was pregnant with you.
00:49:38That's insane.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:40Did you guys work together?
00:49:41No, no, no, no.
00:49:42I mean, I was a nobody back then.
00:49:44We both were.
00:49:45She, we had a lot in common
00:49:49and she was very distressed and lonely at the time
00:49:52or she just happened to meet me at a very dark time in her life.
00:49:57What about my father?
00:49:58Your father is a famous and powerful producer.
00:50:03He's a producer?
00:50:04Does he know that his daughter is an actress?
00:50:06I believe he thinks his child died with Claire.
00:50:11So, can you tell him that I'm alive and well?
00:50:14No, I can't.
00:50:15Not like this, at least.
00:50:17Look, your father did not want Claire to have you, right?
00:50:21He insisted that she had an abortion.
00:50:25Oh.
00:50:26Oh.
00:50:28So, they didn't want me.
00:50:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:50:32Your mother wanted you more than anything, alright?
00:50:34She was ready to stand against the whole world to have you.
00:50:37She chose you over your father,
00:50:40a man that she depended on for almost everything.
00:50:44But, why did she have to die?
00:50:48I'll get to that, alright?
00:50:50Just let me finish.
00:50:52How did she die?
00:50:54I'll get to that, just let me finish.
00:50:58Okay, sorry.
00:50:59So, your father and Flings were a lot of actresses,
00:51:04and he was never committed to any of them.
00:51:06Your mother trusted him blindly,
00:51:09and she thought that he was committed to her.
00:51:12The only thing your father was committed to is his career,
00:51:15his public image.
00:51:17I see.
00:51:18So, he tried to convince your mother to get rid of the baby.
00:51:22He told her that he wasn't going to have it,
00:51:24he didn't want the press to find out about it.
00:51:26He said he couldn't have the baby unless he was married,
00:51:28and he didn't want to marry your mother either.
00:51:30And why not?
00:51:32Because he wanted to marry a more successful actress instead,
00:51:36for his public image.
00:51:38Who is she? Do I know her?
00:51:40We'll get to that, okay?
00:51:42So, he kept phoning your mother,
00:51:44he kept trying to get her to get an abortion.
00:51:47And as much as the idea of you growing up without a father
00:51:50and with little money hurt your mother,
00:51:52she was convinced to try and change your father's mind.
00:51:55She was determined to have you.
00:51:59So, one day I took her to this old vintage bookstore in Dubb,
00:52:05and she saw pictures of your father and another actress
00:52:09on a tabloid sprawled over the front page.
00:52:12It said that they were allegedly in a relationship
00:52:15and that they were planning on getting married.
00:52:17Oh, my God.
00:52:18Your mother, she was one of the most kindest
00:52:23and nicest people that I'd ever met.
00:52:25But I had never seen her so furious.
00:52:28She was so angry that she went to your father
00:52:31and threatened him to leak it to the press.
00:52:34What did he have to say for himself?
00:52:36He got scared, and he started lying,
00:52:38convincing her that the press was making it all up
00:52:41and that he'd changed his mind about the baby,
00:52:43saying that he was going to take care of the both of you.
00:52:46I warned your mother.
00:52:48I tried my best, saying he could not be trusted,
00:52:52but your mother was so happy.
00:52:54She didn't listen to my warnings.
00:52:57The next thing I knew, your father had taken her to a studio
00:53:02and strangled her in a car.
00:53:05I was with a friend at the time,
00:53:08and I was ranting on about how Claire was going out of mention.
00:53:11I knew, I knew something was going to happen.
00:53:15And then he told me that Mitch was taking a woman
00:53:17to an abandoned studio.
00:53:19I rushed there, I rushed there as quickly as I could,
00:53:22but I was too late.
00:53:25What happened next?
00:53:27How did we even get out of there?
00:53:29I got to the studio,
00:53:31and I saw Mitch had a towel around your mother's mouth.
00:53:34I tried to rescue her.
00:53:35I ran there as fast as I could,
00:53:37but his men were still there,
00:53:39and they beat me until I passed out.
00:53:42Alex, how did...
00:53:44how did we get out of there alive?
00:53:46People heard screaming.
00:53:48They called the cops,
00:53:50and that's how you and I got to the hospital.
00:53:53You were alright.
00:53:55Your mother wasn't so lucky.
00:54:01I just can't believe my father could have done something like that.
00:54:06Alex, who is this monster?
00:54:09Once we were at the hospital,
00:54:11I called your grandmother,
00:54:13and we made arrangements for how you were going to be raised.
00:54:16She asked me what happened,
00:54:18but I couldn't tell her.
00:54:21I gave her enough to give her closure.
00:54:24No, Alex, you did the right thing.
00:54:27Nana could not have known about any of this.
00:54:30It would have been too much for her to bear.
00:54:32And I had a great childhood.
00:54:36And we had you.
00:54:38So thank you in our very sunshine.
00:54:44Please.
00:54:46Who is my father?
00:54:53The producer, Mitch.
00:54:55Mitch Stern is your father.
00:55:03What?
00:55:05Yuck.
00:55:07Yuck, he is such a creep.
00:55:10You know, he was a creep back then, too.
00:55:12The hardest one.
00:55:14You know, he's got a wife and kids,
00:55:16and I know for a fact that he gets around.
00:55:18He gets with barely legal starlets.
00:55:22Paul Roxanne.
00:55:24That's the one.
00:55:27You know, he's been begging me to be in his new project,
00:55:30and I keep turning him down
00:55:32because something about him makes me so uncomfortable.
00:55:36You're a lot wiser than your mother was back then.
00:55:40She was just too innocent for this industry.
00:55:44I guess that's how a guy like Mitch
00:55:46was able to dig his claws into her.
00:55:49But doesn't he suspect for a second
00:55:51that I could be his daughter that survived?
00:55:53Well, I don't think Mitch has been
00:55:55with too many women at this point,
00:55:57and I think he's just forgotten about Clem.
00:56:00What a pig.
00:56:03I can't believe he's gotten away with this,
00:56:05with this love.
00:56:07Oh, he has a lot of influence,
00:56:09and creating a scandal around your birth and everything,
00:56:13it just, it would have ruined your childhood,
00:56:16and I, I couldn't do that to you.
00:56:19So I kept everything a secret.
00:56:24It's not right, Alex.
00:56:26None of this is right.
00:56:29There must be some way that we can get back at him
00:56:31for all that he's done.
00:56:34We need a plan.
00:56:41Let's give him that scandal
00:56:43that he's been running from for the past 20 years.
00:56:46I'll confront him.
00:56:48In public.
00:56:50I'll make a whole scene,
00:56:51and I don't think it'll affect my career that much,
00:56:54but hopefully his will be ruined.
00:56:57Well,
00:57:00I have been thinking about revenge
00:57:03for the last 20 years,
00:57:06and I have the perfect plan.
00:57:09I've been writing this screenplay,
00:57:11and I've been writing it for years.
00:57:13Yeah?
00:57:14Go on.
00:57:15When your mother passed,
00:57:17I knew that I wanted to tell this story,
00:57:19so I started writing a screenplay about it.
00:57:22So you're going to make a movie?
00:57:24Yes, yes.
00:57:25Yes, a movie that accurately portrays what happened,
00:57:28and as Mitch sees it,
00:57:30he will be riddled with guilt.
00:57:33Is he going to go for it?
00:57:36All right.
00:57:37The plan is,
00:57:39I want to cast you as your mother.
00:57:42All right?
00:57:43I mean, you guys are so alike,
00:57:45and I think it would be the perfect touch to get on his nerves.
00:57:48The plan is,
00:57:49we torture him psychologically, you know,
00:57:51until he goes insane.
00:57:53The plan is to then change the names,
00:57:56except for the main two ones,
00:57:57Claire and Mitch.
00:57:59I think that could actually work.
00:58:01Yeah.
00:58:02I'm in.
00:58:03All right.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:05Well,
00:58:06you need to be sure about this, right?
00:58:08You need to make sure that you are ready,
00:58:10because we've got a lot of work to do,
00:58:11so we've got to get started now.
00:58:13I'm ready to get started.
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:15We are going to ruin him.
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:19I just need you to calm down
00:58:21and make sure that you are prepared for it.
00:58:24Okay?
00:58:25You need to make sure that you are ready for this project,
00:58:28because if not,
00:58:29if this goes south,
00:58:31there could be consequences.
00:58:33I know.
00:58:34I know.
00:58:35And I promise I will carefully consider that.
00:58:40These are some of your mother's things.
00:58:43I saved them for you after you've,
00:58:45after she passed.
00:58:47And, uh,
00:58:49this is her diary that she kept
00:58:52when she was in a relationship with Mitch.
00:58:54I want you to have it.
00:58:56It'll help you prepare for the role.
00:59:04Well, congratulations.
00:59:07Our movie was a box office hit.
00:59:09And guess what?
00:59:10That's not even the best part.
00:59:12Ah, I see you're still thinking about Mitch's reaction.
00:59:15I mean, how could I not?
00:59:17Did you see his face?
00:59:19God, he must be going insane.
00:59:21I mean, the movie is everywhere.
00:59:23Right?
00:59:24Oh, I still can't see what my mum saw in Mitch.
00:59:28He is so arrogant.
00:59:30You know,
00:59:31he was begging me to be in his new production
00:59:33and still found time to brag about himself.
00:59:36Well, you know,
00:59:37people make mistakes when they're as sincere as your mother.
00:59:40And I mean, come on,
00:59:41that's just classic Mitch, right?
00:59:43I mean, he's literally cheating on the woman
00:59:45that he ended up marrying.
00:59:46God, I mean, he's such a worthless, pathetic worm.
00:59:50I just, I can't even stand running into him at events.
00:59:54It makes me want to vomit thinking about what he did to my mother.
00:59:57I can't believe that man is my biological father.
01:00:00Look, he is not your father.
01:00:02All right?
01:00:03A parent is someone who watches over you as you grow up
01:00:06and he never even tried.
01:00:08Okay?
01:00:09You know, I often wonder, like,
01:00:11even if he hated your mother so much
01:00:13that he ended up murdering her,
01:00:15I mean, how could he be so heartless about his own child?
01:00:19You've been more of a father to me than Mitch ever could be.
01:00:23You were the one that looked over me while I was growing up an orphan.
01:00:26You know, I just did the right thing, you know?
01:00:29I mean, I feel so terrible about how you were treated
01:00:34and what happened to you.
01:00:36It's...
01:00:37For you, I want the life that your mother dreamed of, all right?
01:00:41And...
01:00:42I...
01:00:43She was...
01:00:44She was fragile, but, God, I'm just in awe of her strength.
01:00:50I wish that it was you instead of Mitch that my mum fell in love with.
01:00:55I wish that I were your daughter.
01:00:57Hey, you are like a daughter to me, and don't you forget it.
01:01:00I...
01:01:01I mean, I wish you and mum had been.
01:01:04I can't help but think how different all three of our lives would be
01:01:07if that were the case, especially mum's.
01:01:11But...
01:01:12If she was still here, I definitely would have set the two of you up.
01:01:15Come on.
01:01:17Wait.
01:01:18What?
01:01:19You liked my mum.
01:01:22You, like, like-liked her.
01:01:24Okay, no.
01:01:25She was a dear friend.
01:01:27I mean, we had a lot in common,
01:01:29and we were both struggling with our careers at the time.
01:01:32Well, come on.
01:01:34If things had worked out differently,
01:01:36If things had worked out differently,
01:01:38you reckon you guys would have eventually gotten together?
01:01:41Clara, I met your mother when she suspected that she was pregnant with you,
01:01:47all right?
01:01:48She was in a toxic, abusive relationship with Mitch,
01:01:51and that took a toll on her, all right?
01:01:54I mean, she was so lonely that she confided in a stranger.
01:01:59I mean, today, here, that stranger is seeking her justice.
01:02:04If you ask me, I think that's very romantic.
01:02:06Yeah, well, Mitch needs to be brought to justice, all right?
01:02:11And we are going to do that.
01:02:13He's going to pay for everything he did.
01:02:15I mean, God knows what else he's done that we don't know about.
01:02:18Well, anyone who's seen the movie and knows Mitch in real life,
01:02:22surely they've made some connections by now.
01:02:25They've got to be growing suspicious.
01:02:27Yeah, well, we're going to make sure that they do.
01:02:29Our goal is to make it so that he breaks down and then just confesses to everything.
01:02:34I'm going to destroy his beloved career,
01:02:38the career for which he destroyed so many lives and broke so many hearts.
01:02:43And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:51And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:59I've been sending him pictures of your mother from different addresses.
01:03:02You know, I'm just messing with his head.
01:03:04I just hope Mitch doesn't sue us.
01:03:07No, he can't, all right?
01:03:08I thought about that before we made the movie.
01:03:10If he tries anything, then I'll just make sure that you and him take a DNA test
01:03:14and it'll just further prove what I'm accusing him of.
01:03:17It's surely only a matter of time before he confronts us.
01:03:20Well, I have a plan for when that eventually happens.
01:03:23I'm just waiting for his last nerve to crack.
01:03:26You know, I've been holding back the urge to beat the shit out of him
01:03:30for the last 20 years, but he's influential,
01:03:34so we have to be clever about how we do this.
01:03:37I've been enjoying what we're doing, the movie and my role,
01:03:43and it just is really, really hard to think about my mother this much.
01:03:48Well, you know, critics have been praising the way that you played your part, all right?
01:03:55I mean, you've been nominated for, like, what, so many awards,
01:04:02and I had a feeling that you were going to win awards.
01:04:06Well, don't sell yourself short.
01:04:08You came from, what, penniless screenwriter and now you're one of the greats?
01:04:12You didn't give yourself enough credit.
01:04:14You know that your mother was a struggling actress.
01:04:16You know, she barely got any work, even though she was so stunning.
01:04:22It just makes me so proud to see you just take over this industry.
01:04:28Well, I have been very lucky with roles, and your influence doesn't hurt.
01:04:33Come on. No, you have been making waves without me.
01:04:36That takes sheer talent.
01:04:39Your mother wasn't so fortunate.
01:04:41She couldn't escape the destruction that Mitch unleashed upon her.
01:04:47You know, I was so sure back then, and I still am to this day,
01:04:52that he was sabotaging your mother's career,
01:04:55just making sure that she was financially and emotionally dependent on her
01:04:59so that she just couldn't escape.
01:05:04I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
01:05:10If he found out who I really was, he would surely kill me.
01:05:13Look what he did to my mother.
01:05:14No, you are safe. He can't do shit to you, all right?
01:05:18Your name is just too big at this point.
01:05:21Yeah, but Alex, he's losing his mind.
01:05:23I've been hearing it from people.
01:05:24I even saw him at an event, and he just seemed visibly shaken.
01:05:28Yeah, well, he's going to confront us soon, I'm sure of it.
01:05:41What is it?
01:05:44Oh, bingo. It's an email from his assistant.
01:05:48Oh, my God.
01:05:50They're praising us for the movie.
01:05:53They're saying that they're very proud of what we did
01:05:57and that Mitch has been trying to get his hands on me for quite some time.
01:06:01They threw in a lot of comments about you too.
01:06:04Compliments.
01:06:06Saying that he's always wanted to get you in one of his films
01:06:11and he's quite jealous of the fact that I got you.
01:06:14Well, I will never work with Mitch, ever. Not over my dead body.
01:06:19Look at this.
01:06:21He just invited me to an abandoned building to discuss a new project.
01:06:24An abandoned building? Oh, wow.
01:06:27That doesn't seem suspicious.
01:06:29Yes, well, I think Mitch and I both know each other's intentions at this point.
01:06:34It's definitely a trap.
01:06:37What are you going to do? Are you going to go?
01:06:39Well, I'm going to confront him.
01:06:41I'm going to give him a piece of my mind and you are going to come with me
01:06:44because I have a plan.
01:06:46Okay, okay. What's the plan?
01:06:48All right. I want you to dress like your late mother the day that she died.
01:06:53Use your costume from the movie and just prepare to act like a ghost.
01:06:58And what? And just scare him?
01:07:00I want you to give him the fright of his life, all right?
01:07:04While I destroy him with my words, you are doing that with God.
01:07:08Okay, and then what?
01:07:10Then we wait for him to break down.
01:07:13He confesses everything and we call the cops.
01:07:16What if he knows that I'm Clara and not my dead mother's ghost
01:07:21just right from the get-go?
01:07:22It doesn't matter, all right? The goal is to stir up his guilt.
01:07:27What if he tries to kill us?
01:07:29Hey, like I said, we'll call the cops.
01:07:32It's up to you.
01:07:35Okay.
01:07:37Yeah?
01:07:38I'm in.
01:07:40Let's do it.
01:07:46Mitch.
01:07:57So you're the scumbag who's been fucking with me.
01:08:00I've been holding on to my rage for the past 20 years.
01:08:04I'm going to make you pay for everything that you did to Clara.
01:08:12But you've got no evidence.
01:08:16And I'm never going to admit what I did or didn't do.
01:08:22Do you have any remorse for what you did to her?
01:08:26You know, I'm sure that out of all of the actresses that you've slept with,
01:08:29none of them were as good or as decent or as loyal to you as Clara was.
01:08:35As good in bed, I'll give her that.
01:08:39Yeah, she was just a bimbo who got what she deserved.
01:08:42And newsflash, mate, she's dead.
01:08:45Has been for a while, so I don't really see the point of all this, you know?
01:08:52Do you know that her baby survived?
01:08:55Bullshit.
01:08:57There's no way. It's not medically possible.
01:09:00Eyes dry.
01:09:01Okay.
01:09:02Well, Clara, the starlet that you so desperately want in all of your projects,
01:09:11she's your daughter, Mitch.
01:09:15I mean, did it ever occur to you how much she looks like Claire?
01:09:20Were you ever able to figure that one out?
01:09:23What do you want from me?
01:09:26I don't want to torture you for what you did to her.
01:09:29I want to make you suffer as much as you made Claire suffer before you murdered her.
01:09:35You listen here, you fucking bastard.
01:09:39One phone call from me and you disappear forever. Got that?
01:09:43Mitch?
01:09:46Is it really you?
01:09:52Why did you kill me, Mitch?
01:09:55I told you the baby and I wouldn't bother you.
01:09:59Why did you have to do what you did?
01:10:03You shut up.
01:10:05You're not real.
01:10:11I kept screaming your name, but you had your hand wrapped around my throat.
01:10:19I don't understand how carrying your child was such a crime that you had to murder me.
01:10:24I said, shut up. You shut up.
01:10:28You're not real. Claire is dead. I know that you're Clara.
01:10:34Mitch, I had so many dreams of you and me and a happy ending.
01:10:43I would have given up anything for you, but not my child, not our child.
01:10:52No, you just probably, what, you fucked someone else, tried to pass the kid off as mine.
01:10:57God, you are such a heartless pig. Her life literally revolved around you.
01:11:02And you, weaseling your way in, trying to forget my sloppy seconds.
01:11:08You're pathetic, both of you.
01:11:13I never loved anyone but you, Mitch.
01:11:18And you killed me.
01:11:21Have you ever thought about me, even once, after all these years?
01:11:29You're a hell of a good actress. I'll give you that.
01:11:34Is that what you want to hear?
01:11:36When you kissed my cheek that night and you held my hand, I thought all our troubles were really over.
01:11:49I had nothing, Mitch. No money. I cried myself to sleep every night.
01:12:00How do you know what happened between me and Claire?
01:12:04Answer me!
01:12:07And you whispered in my ear that everything was going to be okay.
01:12:14And you got that look in your eye and you pulled me by my hair and you pushed me up against the wall.
01:12:25God, you fucking monster!
01:12:28I can take you and your career to places you couldn't otherwise have been.
01:12:32Leave her alone, all right? You see, you see, this, this is the kind of man that your father is.
01:12:38And you've wondered how he managed to murder your mother.
01:12:41This ends now.
01:12:44Piece of shit.
01:12:46It's okay. He's going to be fine.
01:12:50I got the ad, Clara. Last chance and I'll kill him. You hear me?
01:12:58You fucking animal, all right? I'm going to make you pay for what you did.
01:13:03No. No, Alex, no. You're not going to do anything.
01:13:09Clara, this is not the time for forgiveness, all right? He needs to, I need to finish this.
01:13:16Alex, this is not your revenge to take.
01:13:20This man doesn't have a shred of guilt for killing me.
01:13:28He doesn't have any room in his heart for his child.
01:13:31Clara, you can drop the act, okay? He knows that you're not Claire's ghost.
01:13:34We need to finish him. I, I need to finish him.
01:13:39You know, Mitch, I loved you so much.
01:13:44You were my everything.
01:13:47I would have given up everything for you.
01:13:50But you just couldn't bear the thought of me raising our child on my own.
01:13:59You had to kill me and kill your unborn child.
01:14:03What kind of evil man does it take to do that?
01:14:07You're a monster, Mitch.
01:14:12But you'd never rest in peace.
01:14:14You shut up. I know you're not Claire's ghost.
01:14:19If you are my daughter, it's because you've got half my blood.
01:14:23Your mother was a lazy, weak, pathetic actress who kept sleeping with me for money.
01:14:29Now leave this fucking loser behind and let's take your career to the next level.
01:14:34What do you say?
01:14:35You shut up. You fucking shut up, you piece of shit liar.
01:14:39No, no, you don't. Claire, Claire, please.
01:14:42This, this is why we need to finish him. I need to end him now.
01:14:46Come on. Come on.
01:14:52Did I kill him?
01:14:54I swear I didn't even have my fingers on the trigger.
01:15:01Claire, where did you get this?
01:15:04It's the same one I gave your mother on her birthday, but she was buried with it.
01:15:12And here I thought it was one of a kind.
01:15:21Alex, Alex, are you okay?
01:15:29Why are you looking at me like that?
01:15:32Did you give me that bracelet?
01:15:36What bracelet, Alex?
01:15:43No way.
01:15:46Is, is this?
01:15:49I don't think so. And it's only fitting that you get it.
01:15:56I mean, it's, it's beautiful, but how?
01:16:04I don't know, but come on.
01:16:10We should get out of here.
01:16:19We should get out of here.
