00:00:00All right, here are your appetizers, and your entrees will arrive shortly.
00:00:10She looks like the woman who's been out with Daniel Roth.
00:00:14Daniel Roth? You mean Hollywood's top emerging producer?
00:00:19There's no way she'd work at a place like this.
00:00:22You're right.
00:00:24Ava, what are you doing? Daydreaming?
00:00:27Why haven't you served that table over by the window yet?
00:00:29They've been waiting for 30 minutes.
00:00:32No, no, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.
00:00:34Get it done, or go waste time at a different restaurant.
00:00:43Psst, Ava.
00:00:46Didn't I tell you if I don't call for you, don't show up?
00:00:49I have some news for you. Your husband, Mr. Daniel Roth, I hear he's hosting a banquet here tonight.
00:00:55I think he's even bringing along his cast from his latest production.
00:00:58I know. Today's our anniversary, and I've been supporting him for three years, so tonight I'm going to reveal my true identity.
00:01:07Sam, it's finally my time.
00:01:10Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:11Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:15Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:39I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:55Yeah.
00:01:56Aren't you worried your wife's gonna find out?
00:01:58Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now.
00:02:02Tonight, you're gonna sign those divorce papers.
00:02:05But, babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:02:11So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:15Surprise!
00:02:25Surprise!
00:02:27Ava?
00:02:28What are you doing here?
00:02:32Oh, babe.
00:02:33Your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:36Daniel?
00:02:38What is this?
00:02:39Today's her anniversary.
00:02:40Who is she?
00:02:42Well, since you're already here, meet Sofia, my future.
00:02:48What? I'm your wife!
00:02:53Let's be real.
00:02:54If you hadn't thrown yourself at me, we'd never be married.
00:02:57That's a lie.
00:02:58I was there for you and I supported you when no one else would.
00:03:01God without me, you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:04My company?
00:03:05All you did was drain me.
00:03:11Sofia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart.
00:03:15She's driven.
00:03:17And she's gonna take our company to the top.
00:03:21What could she possibly do for you?
00:03:23I've just been cast as a lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:28And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:31You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:35Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:39And trust me.
00:03:41She would never pick you.
00:03:43I shouldn't pick you.
00:03:53I shouldn't pick you.
00:03:55You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:58Don't be a sore loser.
00:03:59How are you saying this?
00:04:01She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:04:03I know she's talking about big casting.
00:04:05He liars.
00:04:06Exactly.
00:04:07No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:09Too embarrassing.
00:04:11Yeah.
00:04:12What spell did she use to leech him off for three years?
00:04:14That's enough, Ava.
00:04:16Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:18Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:23Hmm?
00:04:25Papers?
00:04:27Grandpa?
00:04:28Listen, everything has been arranged with the Bryant era.
00:04:31As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:36Understood, Grandpa?
00:04:37I won't let you down.
00:04:40There.
00:04:41We're finished.
00:04:42Perfect.
00:04:43And while we're at it, why don't 20 grand consider a payment for three years in my bed?
00:04:51Because that's all three years in my bed.
00:04:54Because that's all you're worth.
00:05:02Oh my god, Daniel, that's Versace!
00:05:04You crazy woman!
00:05:14Who the hell are you?
00:05:23She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:24Light pink dress?
00:05:29That must be her.
00:05:32Apologize to the lady.
00:05:34Let go of me!
00:05:36Who are you?
00:05:37I could be calling the cops!
00:05:38This is assault!
00:05:39Be my guest.
00:05:40God!
00:05:41All right!
00:05:42All right!
00:05:43All right!
00:05:44God!
00:05:46Oh, you had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:49Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim
00:05:52while you were using my money to pay off your side, bitch!
00:05:55You know what?
00:05:56You're absolutely right.
00:05:57And I'm not just keeping him.
00:06:01I'm marrying him.
00:06:02What?
00:06:03I'm Ava.
00:06:04You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:06:07Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:08Actor?
00:06:09I, uh...
00:06:10Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:11I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:12Just name...
00:06:13Just name...
00:06:14Just name your price.
00:06:15Excuse me?
00:06:16Oh, come on.
00:06:17I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:18William.
00:06:20Um, you know, funnily enough I'm in the market for a contract
00:06:22I'm not chosen to buy a certain contract.
00:06:23No, no, I can't then learn to buy a contract with you.
00:06:24And, and, and then, and then you'll need to buy a certain contract,
00:06:26what a prix does is make sure you do not buy a contract.
00:06:27Look, I'm not going to buy a contract, but the first one I can do is make sure it's
00:06:28If it's not going to buy a contract...
00:06:29I can't change anything, but it's not going to buy a contract,
00:06:30that should be sold.
00:06:31I would, uh, no.
00:06:32I'd like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:33Just name your price.
00:06:34Excuse me?
00:06:35Oh, come on.
00:06:36I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:39William.
00:06:42Um...
00:06:45Um...
00:06:49Right. Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:52Perfect. Starting now, you're officially my fiancée.
00:07:01Um, should, should we?
00:07:11There you go.
00:07:19Hey, Grandpa, did you change the gate passcode? I can't get in.
00:07:36That's the idea. How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:40Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:44Wait, what?
00:07:49So, she's not Miss Bryan.
00:08:11Three years.
00:08:15Finally back.
00:08:19Hello?
00:08:22Hey, it's me.
00:08:25Oh, um, hey, uh, what's up?
00:08:28I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:32Hi.
00:08:33Hey, um, so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:45Well, uh, um, I've been out of work.
00:08:50I couldn't pay my rent, so the landlord kicked me out.
00:08:55Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:56Come on.
00:09:07You live here.
00:09:10Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:13Uh...
00:09:14Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:23Uh, no.
00:09:25This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:28I'm just half-sitting.
00:09:29Oh.
00:09:31Uh, make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:34Tim, totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:48Three years since what?
00:09:49Uh, um, so the fridge is empty.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:08Do you want pizza?
00:10:09Yeah, yeah.
00:10:13Pizza works.
00:10:15All right.
00:10:17Um.
00:10:18Mm.
00:10:21I'll go make an order.
00:10:23Right.
00:10:26Mm.
00:10:27Oh, you're...
00:10:28Hey, Peter.
00:10:42Run a check on this girl.
00:10:53Oh, my God.
00:10:55Mike.
00:10:56What?
00:10:56Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:59What the?
00:11:02I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:11:07I swear if he heard my Ava.
00:11:10That's it.
00:11:12Him and his company are dead.
00:11:13Hear me.
00:11:15They're dead.
00:11:15That's it.
00:11:16Him and his company are dead.
00:11:18Hear me.
00:11:19They're dead.
00:11:20Hey.
00:11:37Hey.
00:11:38You okay?
00:11:40Um.
00:11:41It's my stomach.
00:11:43Here.
00:11:43Let's get you down.
00:11:48Hey.
00:11:48I know you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:12:15Other than my parents.
00:12:16Do you, uh, think you ate something bad?
00:12:22It's just an allergy.
00:12:24I probably should have checked if the pizza had any soy before eating, like, half of it.
00:12:30But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:34What are you doing?
00:12:53What are you doing?
00:12:54Um.
00:12:55You said you needed some rest.
00:12:57Taking you to bed.
00:12:58It's okay.
00:12:59I can walk by myself.
00:13:01No, you can't.
00:13:02No.
00:13:03No.
00:13:03Oh
00:13:33Oh...
00:13:35Oh, jeez.
00:13:42Oh, no...
00:14:03Uh, you're awake?
00:14:13Yeah, I am.
00:14:15I just got up.
00:14:17Um, do you have an apron?
00:14:22Or you're also a bit hot.
00:14:25Of course.
00:14:26Um, just let me help you.
00:14:33Oh, God.
00:15:03Ava, what are you doing?
00:15:13Who are they?
00:15:14I'm her.
00:15:15They are my best friend's parents.
00:15:18They've come to see if the house needs any repairs.
00:15:21Right?
00:15:22And this is?
00:15:26He's, um, um.
00:15:29Nice to meet you.
00:15:34I'm, uh, Ava's fiancé.
00:15:37What?
00:15:42Yeah, um, he's my fiancé, William.
00:15:46Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:16:06Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:16:09Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:16:13You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:16:17Pretty much.
00:16:19Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:16:21Oh, whatever.
00:16:22All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:16:23The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:29Daniel, and that shameless bitch's relatives won't even exist.
00:16:33What?
00:16:33No, we're not doing that.
00:16:34Why not?
00:16:36Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:39Your dad and I will tear them apart and feed them to the wolves.
00:16:43Okay, Mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:47Tonight at the director, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:49Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:58So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh, I am...
00:17:09Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree.
00:17:32A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:37A rising star?
00:17:39You'll fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes.
00:17:47Haven't you had enough of their pathetic experience?
00:17:52And now look where you are.
00:17:53Okay, that's enough.
00:17:54We gotta get going.
00:17:55Let's go.
00:17:56That's okay.
00:17:57Bye.
00:18:05I'm sorry.
00:18:09I know those words hurt.
00:18:12It's fine.
00:18:14You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents?
00:18:17It's like you see them as your own.
00:18:19Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so...
00:18:24They owe you?
00:18:26Why do they owe you?
00:18:27Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:34After that, they made it big, so we just kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:39Big news.
00:18:52Eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director known as Director V, winner of last year's Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear,
00:18:59is set to make a major public appearance this week and reveal their next film project.
00:19:12Hey, I've got to go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:19:15Oh, I'm heading out too.
00:19:16You want a ride?
00:19:17No, I'm going pretty far.
00:19:18But I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:25Okay.
00:19:25Okay.
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:29Okay.
00:19:32This invitation must have fell.
00:19:34Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:49Ava?
00:19:51Hey.
00:19:52What are you doing here?
00:19:53I am, I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:58Oh, what are you doing here?
00:20:00Funny coincidence. A friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:03Oh, that's great. For a moment, I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:20:07Oh, God, no. I mean, I'm just a regular housewife. I could never be in the film industry.
00:20:13I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:20:15I'd love to, but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:20:19Oh, I mean, don't worry. You'll get there soon enough.
00:20:22You can come with me.
00:20:26Tonight, then.
00:20:27Great.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:42Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:47Please go ahead, man.
00:20:52Ah, shit.
00:20:53Sorry, I think I lost my invitation. Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:59You lost it? Or you never had one?
00:21:01You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:21:02Isn't that exactly what you're doing? I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:21:06Ava?
00:21:08Where are you?
00:21:09You're stalking us?
00:21:11Take a hint.
00:21:12It's like wherever we are, you're just there, stalking us.
00:21:25Weird.
00:21:26It's like wherever we are, you're just stalking us.
00:21:41You guys really think that much of yourselves.
00:21:43What?
00:21:43You really think they're just going to let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:47But you should get over yourself.
00:21:51Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in.
00:21:56He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:58Babe, it's just a million.
00:22:00Like, soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:22:04Billions.
00:22:05Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:22:07Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:22:09And your dreams are real sweet.
00:22:11All right, we and Ava, all right?
00:22:13The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:17So, leave us alone.
00:22:20Because, frankly, you're disgusting.
00:22:23I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:28Oh, shit.
00:22:30Mrs. Ra.
00:22:31You're disgusting.
00:22:32I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:39Oh, shit.
00:22:41Mrs. Ra.
00:22:42If you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:45I'm, um, I'm actually divorced.
00:23:03I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:23:06You see that one?
00:23:08That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:23:09All right, Miss Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:12No worries.
00:23:13Just go let the rocks in.
00:23:14No worries.
00:23:16My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:23:18Um, I've made a mistake.
00:23:20Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:23:22Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:23:27Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32You.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:34She's not here.
00:23:48Yes, I guess.
00:23:52Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to V. graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to V. graces the stage.
00:24:29I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:24:43It's been three years in her last project.
00:24:45Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:47This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:52No way.
00:24:53Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:57Yeah, you're right.
00:24:58I've married her for three years.
00:25:00I know her inside and out.
00:25:03She can never compare to V.
00:25:07Idiot.
00:25:08Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:25:13It's too much of a coincidence.
00:25:15I need to check this out.
00:25:21Oh, my God.
00:25:22V.
00:25:23Baby.
00:25:23Is V walking towards me?
00:25:25Is she going to choose me?
00:25:26Of course.
00:25:27I've always said you're my diamond.
00:25:29You're going to get your big break.
00:25:31My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:32Be careful, be careful.
00:25:41You're going to get your big break.
00:25:43My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:45Be careful, be careful.
00:25:48Oh, my God.
00:25:49Is V okay?
00:25:50Dammit.
00:25:50Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:52This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:56Are you okay?
00:25:57William?
00:25:58No, no, no, no.
00:25:58I can't let him know who I am.
00:26:00I am...
00:26:01Oh.
00:26:02Hey, no, wait, wait.
00:26:04No, no, no.
00:26:05It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:12I have seen this bracelet before.
00:26:17I'll be fine after some rest.
00:26:23Ava?
00:26:24Could V be Ava?
00:26:27Excuse me, Mrs. Roth?
00:26:38That's me.
00:26:39Who are you?
00:26:40Director V wants you to audition as a male actor in room 301.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:47V wants me to audition.
00:26:49This is going to be my big break.
00:26:51I'm on me.
00:27:03Everything set?
00:27:05Everything is gone.
00:27:06James?
00:27:11James?
00:27:12Whoa, whoa, look who it is.
00:27:16Oh, fave, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:20The hell are you doing here?
00:27:31Well, I don't know.
00:27:41The audition for Director V starts now.
00:27:44The scene is called the affair.
00:27:47You must play a couple having a secret meeting while each has their own family.
00:27:52Cameras are set up. Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:56Alright, let's do this.
00:27:59As you wish.
00:28:08Honey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:28:12I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep so I can't.
00:28:16Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:22Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:29The stream is officially live.
00:28:31Let's add another player to the game to camp up the drama.
00:28:38Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:41The show's about to get good.
00:28:43The show's about to get good.
00:28:58Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Ah, don't talk about him.
00:29:08You bitch!
00:29:09Daniel!
00:29:10No, no, it's not you.
00:29:11No, Daniel, stop!
00:29:12Shut the hell up!
00:29:13It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:14This is an audition!
00:29:15You expect me to believe that?
00:29:16You're auditioning, you're acting, while you're naked in this room, kissing your ex!
00:29:18Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:29:19She asked me to audition.
00:29:20James, he's an actor too.
00:29:21He's helping with the audition, please!
00:29:22Why are you stripping for an audition?!
00:29:24What?
00:29:25Why are you stripping for an audition?!
00:29:29You was in the script!
00:29:29You asshole!
00:29:30Come on!
00:29:31It's an affair, okay?
00:29:32We're just...
00:29:33I'm an audition!
00:29:34It's for an audition!
00:29:35It's for the audition!
00:29:36You're not!
00:29:37I'm just kidding!
00:29:38I'm just kidding!
00:29:39You're not kidding!
00:29:40I'm just kidding!
00:29:41I'm just kidding!
00:29:42You're not kidding.
00:29:43It's not kidding!
00:29:44What?
00:29:45You're not kidding.
00:29:47Get out of there.
00:29:48Listen to me!
00:29:49If you really think you're gonna intimidate me, I'm doing a fitness!
00:29:52I'm doing this for your company! I'm doing this for me!
00:29:55Come on!
00:29:56Save it, all right? Why don't you hear? Where is she?
00:30:00I mean, all your talent, you think she would notice you by now?
00:30:05What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:08Is it New V Project?
00:30:10Shut the fuck up! You know that if it wasn't for me, your company would be underground!
00:30:14Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:17You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:30:21Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:23You cheating on your wife with me, you asshole!
00:30:27What the fuck?
00:30:36What the fuck?
00:30:46This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49This feels way too real.
00:30:51Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:54Annie's new girlfriend?
00:30:56What the fuck?
00:30:58Yeah, you want again?
00:30:59This is a next level of violence, Art.
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:06Maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:08Wait a second. This is clearly revenge.
00:31:10This is the next level of violence, Art.
00:31:21Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:24Wait a second.
00:31:25This is clearly revenge.
00:31:27The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress.
00:31:30Could it be Ava's actual dream?
00:31:40Wait, stop, stop.
00:31:43I was paid to be here, to play along.
00:31:46I don't think V has anything to do with this.
00:31:48What?
00:31:50It's blowing up on TikTok.
00:31:51Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:31:55Who even played?
00:31:57Who's behind this?
00:31:57Who's posting this online?
00:31:59Ava?
00:32:02You, you set me up.
00:32:04Back off.
00:32:05You posted this?
00:32:07You humiliated us?
00:32:08Humiliated?
00:32:09Daniel, did you ever care?
00:32:11Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:32:12Hey, wasn't this your big break into the street?
00:32:15Now the whole world knows you.
00:32:16Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:18You are going to pay for this.
00:32:21Run!
00:32:21Security!
00:32:22They're fighting!
00:32:23Daniel!
00:32:23Whoa.
00:32:35Three years of marriage and I've never felt so protected.
00:32:39Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if event is over.
00:32:51No!
00:32:52Please stay tuned for more information.
00:32:54Ticket money down the drain!
00:32:56That was going to be my big break!
00:32:58I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:33:00I just want to see what amazing director looked like.
00:33:05Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:33:08What is up with that video online?
00:33:10What video?
00:33:11The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:14Why is it posted from V's account?
00:33:15Why is V trying to take them down?
00:33:17Are you...
00:33:17Okay, okay.
00:33:17Look, that's because I'm...
00:33:24Sorry.
00:33:27Yeah?
00:33:29Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:37We dug into it.
00:33:39Turns out Miss Ava's just a regular housewife.
00:33:42Got it.
00:33:42I'm sorry.
00:33:46I overreacted.
00:33:48I guess with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:33:53And it just scared me a little bit.
00:33:55About to marry?
00:33:57We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:34:00Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract.
00:34:04And I thought we were so much more.
00:34:08You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:34:10And I thought you could feel it too.
00:34:12I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:34:15If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:34:19I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:34:29If anyone hurts my fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:35Sorry to interrupt, sir.
00:34:42Sorry to interrupt, sir.
00:34:45But the Master wants to see you.
00:34:47Hey, wait.
00:34:47Who are you?
00:34:48I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:51My gran...
00:34:51There's a lot I need to explain.
00:34:56Okay.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:06What?
00:35:15What?
00:35:19Oh.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:22Um.
00:35:23Why am I the only one allowed in?
00:35:24Why can't William come?
00:35:25Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:35:28How dare you say that about him?
00:35:30He owes you money.
00:35:31Right?
00:35:32What if I said yes?
00:35:34How much?
00:35:34Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:35:36Pay it off?
00:35:37It's no small amount.
00:35:38How much?
00:35:39Well, one million.
00:35:47One million.
00:35:49That's it.
00:35:51What?
00:35:51Just a million.
00:35:52You don't know the future.
00:35:53One million is just the interest.
00:35:56The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:59Ten million?
00:35:59What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:36:02I don't care.
00:36:03I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:07I can.
00:36:11You're a liar.
00:36:13Not only are you broke,
00:36:16but you're a liar.
00:36:18You're a divorced woman.
00:36:20You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:22You've been waiting tables.
00:36:24What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:26How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:30Did you investigate me?
00:36:32Yes, I did.
00:36:34In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:37No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or they're with, I know everything.
00:36:42Did you investigate me?
00:36:51Yes, I did.
00:36:52In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:55No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:37:01Try digging a little deeper.
00:37:03My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:37:07And the divorce settlement?
00:37:09It's hefty.
00:37:10What?
00:37:14You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:37:17Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:20Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:21When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:23Money's one thing, but William?
00:37:27He's worth more than all of it.
00:37:28Geez, it's as if destiny is pulling strings.
00:37:38How did William meet someone this perfect?
00:37:42Her ex must be a total jerk.
00:37:44Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:37:52Now.
00:38:05Ava, are you okay?
00:38:06I'm fine.
00:38:07You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:10What?
00:38:21Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:24We've been working with him for years.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:26Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:28I mean, it has to be.
00:38:30This is all on Ava.
00:38:32I, I, I'm gonna kill her.
00:38:35I swear.
00:38:36I hope you do.
00:38:38I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:38:42We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:38:45Oh, Daniel, please, calm down.
00:38:48I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:38:52So, if I can get her approval.
00:38:57Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket like a price.
00:39:02And Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:05Oh, you genius!
00:39:12Sam?
00:39:14Miss, the casting call is tomorrow.
00:39:17I just heard Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:39:21They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:39:23Even so, I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:27What do you mean?
00:39:29Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:39:31She can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:42I'm just too nervous.
00:39:55I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:39:58Do you like baking?
00:39:59Oh, no.
00:40:12Oh, oh.
00:40:29Sorry, I'm I'm Cameron, the producer of his movie.
00:40:35So, once I pay...
00:40:36Oh, no.
00:40:37Oh, oh.
00:40:38So, once I pay, Sophia's got the role, right?
00:41:04Of course.
00:41:05This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Uh, nothing.
00:41:21Okay?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:30Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much.
00:41:34No, you're not even tipsy.
00:41:36And I'm, I'm fine.
00:41:38All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:40Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:41Oh, my God.
00:41:50Can I kiss you?
00:41:51You should probably take that.
00:42:10Oh.
00:42:12Why the hell?
00:42:14How many times I was just trying to feel it?
00:42:17Hmm.
00:42:18Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:21I think my job here is done.
00:42:24Time to get some sleep.
00:42:25Hit the showers.
00:42:25Wow, Ava.
00:42:41You're stunning.
00:42:43No one would believe that Director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:42:48Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but God, I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:43:02Hello?
00:43:04Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:07What's wrong?
00:43:08Has something happened?
00:43:08No, I'm, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:14Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:18Uh, um, uh.
00:43:27Could you be my partner?
00:43:29Um, all right, um, yeah, no, I mean, of course, I'll go with you.
00:43:35Ava, thank you.
00:43:36I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:38Yeah, okay, bye.
00:43:44Ava, where are you going?
00:43:47If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:49Who will choose the actors?
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:54You'll hand me.
00:43:55Me?
00:43:56Me?
00:43:56What are they doing here?
00:44:13First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:44:17All right, let's get this casting underway.
00:44:20I can't love you anymore.
00:44:33Please, please, let me go.
00:44:37Let us bury our love in the past.
00:44:39And have a look back.
00:44:44Cut.
00:44:46Next.
00:44:48What's going on?
00:44:49I didn't finish my lines.
00:44:51That's enough.
00:44:52He gave me zero emotion.
00:44:54I put my heart into that scene.
00:44:56He gave me nothing.
00:44:56If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:45:00But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:45:03Her acting.
00:45:09Makes me want to puke.
00:45:12Next.
00:45:14That's our turn.
00:45:15Hey.
00:45:17You got this.
00:45:20Whoa!
00:45:22Sorry.
00:45:23This woman is not an actress.
00:45:25She has no right to audition.
00:45:33What's going on here?
00:45:38It's simple.
00:45:39I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:45:41It'll help me give a better performance.
00:45:44This is V's casting.
00:45:46Come on.
00:45:46Only pros allowed.
00:45:48You're just going to let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:45:51Once this leaks, V's reputation will be ruined.
00:45:54And you'll be fired.
00:45:55Sophia, you are not V.
00:45:57How could you know what she cares about?
00:46:00What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:46:03Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:46:07You can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:46:14That's what a true actor does.
00:46:24All right.
00:46:25You're up.
00:46:26You know, you say you love me, but I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:46:35Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:46:38Who that I can't?
00:46:39I can see your strength, your kindness, and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:46:46I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:46:50I know we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I see you better than
00:46:54I see myself.
00:46:56And I love you.
00:46:58Now, before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:47:15It really knows how to fake it.
00:47:17Now, for the official casting results.
00:47:24It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:47:34We've got a backup plan.
00:47:36Who cares about acting?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38I mean, acting is nothing, really.
00:47:41Money is how you get the role.
00:47:42Eto'o?
00:47:47Effie?
00:47:48Kevin?
00:47:50William?
00:47:51Oh, my God.
00:47:52What?
00:47:53That's incredible.
00:47:54William, you're amazing.
00:47:55Why am I not on this list?
00:47:57They're still going.
00:47:58Okay.
00:47:59It's okay.
00:48:00Uh, last.
00:48:02Eva.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03No way.
00:48:05Eva, you got in as well.
00:48:07Yeah.
00:48:07This isn't fair.
00:48:12The Lisbon chair was wet.
00:48:14There is cheating going on in this casting.
00:48:16Where's your proof?
00:48:18Without anything to back it up, that's slandering.
00:48:21Proof?
00:48:22Well, um, I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role.
00:48:27Yeah, and they've already taken the money.
00:48:28So if I don't get the lead role, we'll sue him.
00:48:30So if I don't get the lead role, we'll sue him.
00:48:38Oh, is that so?
00:48:39You know, it's funny you say that, because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:48:45Wait, what are you talking about?
00:48:47Eva, I need to tell you something.
00:48:49Um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:48:56William, please don't get carried away.
00:48:57No, it's true, okay?
00:48:59I'll prove it to you.
00:49:00Prove it?
00:49:01You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:49:05You know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie.
00:49:12Wait a minute.
00:49:14Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:49:27Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:49:38A washed-up actor trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:49:43The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:49:46Got connections everywhere, and this nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:50Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:57Katzenberg?
00:49:58Oh my god, he's William's creditor.
00:50:00Shit.
00:50:01Hey.
00:50:02Hey.
00:50:10Grandpa?
00:50:11Why is he here?
00:50:13Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:14Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:26Mr. John, it is a pleasure to see you.
00:50:29Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:50:31Have you got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:50:34We're working.
00:50:36May I ask it?
00:50:37Why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:50:40We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:50:43What?
00:50:44Wait, wait, wait.
00:50:44Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:50:47Because somebody here is using the Katzenberg name.
00:50:51Oh, now you have my attention.
00:50:53And I'm very curious.
00:50:55Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:50:58Him.
00:51:04Sir?
00:51:05Sir?
00:51:05Hey, what the hell?
00:51:14You're chasing me down now?
00:51:16I already paid you back.
00:51:25I already paid you back.
00:51:27Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:51:28I already paid...
00:51:29Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:31This is my grandson, William Katberg, official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:51:41Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose an heir.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:52So this is how it is.
00:51:55Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies to launder their dirty money.
00:52:00Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:52:01Slandering us like that will land you in prison.
00:52:05Daniel, before you jump to conclusions, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:52:09You two have been working together this whole time?
00:52:21Karen, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:52:35Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:52:37I am V's producer.
00:52:38Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:52:42What's in it for you?
00:52:44I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:52:47And you know what?
00:52:48I take my odors from her.
00:52:51What are you talking about?
00:52:53Honestly, like, who even is V?
00:52:56I mean, I don't know her.
00:52:58I've got no beef with her.
00:53:00So why would she send you to ruin me?
00:53:03All right, so you would like me to, uh, unlift it all and, uh, reveal who V is today.
00:53:11Well, Ava, is that okay?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14In the flesh.
00:53:16That's correct.
00:53:17This is the mysterious, the fabulous, the fearless, V.
00:53:24And she's also the heiress of the Green Family Fortune.
00:53:28Oh, it's V.
00:53:29Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:53:31And famous director and heiress.
00:53:34V's got the perfect life.
00:53:42No.
00:53:43No, no, she can't be.
00:53:44That's impossible.
00:53:45You idiot.
00:53:47You stupid idiot.
00:53:50I tried.
00:53:51I could have been with Ava.
00:53:53I swear.
00:53:54I swear I am going to kill you.
00:53:56You want to try?
00:53:56Are you crazy?
00:53:58I'm going to kill you.
00:53:59FBI, everyone freeze.
00:54:01What are you doing here?
00:54:11Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:54:13From here on out, you have the right to remain silent.
00:54:14Anything you say will be used against you in court.
00:54:19What are you talking about?
00:54:21I...
00:54:21Who told you?
00:54:23Who do you think?
00:54:26You.
00:54:28Get them out of here.
00:54:29Go of me!
00:54:30Let go!
00:54:31Fuck you!
00:54:33Hey.
00:54:42Get off me!
00:54:43Get off!
00:54:44Ava, so you're not only V, but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:54:49I mean, I knew something was off.
00:54:52Yes, okay, I haven't been completely honest with you, but...
00:54:56And you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:54:58I've wanted to be honest, but do you know how lies can talk on top of each other?
00:55:06Look, it's all over now.
00:55:07I'm sorry, but I can't move past this.
00:55:09If we can't even be honest with each other, then maybe...
00:55:13Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:21Thank you, Frank.
00:55:22You can do this.
00:55:43You can do this.
00:55:52Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:56:04I'm sorry.
00:56:30Ava, please don't go.
00:57:00Ava, you're leaving us already. Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:57:09Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted. I need to clear my head. I'm exhausted.
00:57:18Don't let anyone hold you back. You deserve a bigger world.
00:57:24Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:57:26No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think, I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:57:32If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:57:35As long as you're happy.
00:57:37Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:57:40A guy with 8-pack abs.
00:57:45Anyway, my driver, I'll see you in a bit.
00:57:53Good luck, baby.
00:57:55I love you.
00:58:02Oh, she's leaving us.
00:58:11Let's go.
00:58:12Ava Green. Long time will see.
00:58:25Wow.
00:58:46Can you kiss me once more?
00:58:50William.
00:58:55William, I'll admit it. Not like I was with my ex.
00:58:58Walking away from way harder, but without me...
00:59:02Can you still feel that spark?
00:59:06Hey, Henry, why haven't we set off yet? We're gonna be late.
00:59:10There you go.
00:59:15Sophia, what the hell are you doing here?
00:59:17Let's save the check till later.
00:59:47You crazy bitch. Do you even realize what you're doing is a crime?
01:00:01Fuck.
01:00:03Everything is your fault, even.
01:00:06You're the reason Daniel's in prison.
01:00:08You fucked up my entire life!
01:00:11Sophia, listen to me.
01:00:12You brought all of this on himself.
01:00:14You've just been too blinded by him.
01:00:16Okay? You just need to calm down.
01:00:18Shut up.
01:00:19Shut the fuck up!
01:00:22I'm gonna take you to hell.
01:00:27William!
01:00:29William!
01:00:31Fuck!
01:00:32's what the hell is doing.
01:00:34William!

01:00:58Say goodbye
01:01:00No!
01:01:14Damn world
01:01:15Say goodbye
01:01:17Give it up, Ava
01:01:21I'm burning everything to the ground
01:01:28And it's been a difficult task
01:01:39Don't do it
01:01:41No, no, no
01:01:43Oh no
01:01:45No, no, no
01:01:47No, no, no
01:01:58She'll must go on.
01:02:17She'll must go on.
01:02:29Ava?
01:02:32William!
01:02:34Hey, hang on, okay?
01:02:36I'm gonna call an ambulance.
01:02:38Please, just stay with me, okay?
01:02:40You're gonna be okay.
01:02:47Vee, Vee, come here, Vee, please, just share, Vee, Vee.
01:02:53Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:02:55Is it true that the movie was based on real events?
01:02:58Miss Vee, over here.
01:03:02Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:03:06The question everybody's hearing, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:03:12Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:03:16And where is that special someone?
01:03:19He...
01:03:26And where is that special someone?
01:03:28He...
01:03:29Congratulations, Ava, or should I say Vee.
01:03:46It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:03:49It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:03:52So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:03:59Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:04:03You've been flirting with death.
01:04:05On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:04:11Will you marry me?
01:04:12William...
01:04:13William...
01:04:14William...
01:04:15William...
01:04:16You have to marry me.
01:04:17William...
01:04:18William...
01:04:19William...
01:04:28You have to marry me.
01:04:29You have to marry me.
01:04:30You have to marry me.
01:04:31You have to marry me.
