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