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.
00:06:19You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract with
00:06:21and I'm not a guy.
00:06:22So, I'm not a guy.
00:06:23I'm not a guy.
00:06:24Okay, I'm the guy.
00:06:25Now, I'm the guy.
00:06:26I'm the guy.
00:06:27You're the guy.
00:06:28You're the guy.
00:06:29I'm the guy, I'm the guy.
00:06:30I'm the guy.
00:06:31I'm the guy.
00:06:32I'm the guy.
00:06:33Okay.
00:06:34You're the guy.
00:06:35I'm the guy.
00:06:36All right.
00:06:37I'm the guy.
00:06:38I'm the guy.
00:06:39I'm the guy.
00:06:40I'm the guy.
00:06:41Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:43I would like to hire you to play my fiance.
00:06:44Just...
00:06:45Just...
00:06:46Just...
00:06:47Name your price.
00:06:48Excuse me?
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.
00:11:44Let'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?
00:12:45What 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.
00:13:00No.
00:13:02No, you can't.
00:13:25Nice.
00:13:26Thanks.
00:13:27I'll judge you.
00:13:27Honestly, what else have you done?
00:13:41Boss?
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43Oh, I want to.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46Oh, my God.
00:13:49Oh, my God.
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:52Uh, you're awake?
00:14:13Yeah, I am.
00:14:15I just got up.
00:14:17Um, do you have an apron?
00:14:21Or you'll also get hot.
00:14:25Of course.
00:14:27Um, just let me help you.
00:14:49Um.
00:14:51Oh, God.
00:15:03Ava!
00:15:04What 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...
00:15:27Um, um...
00:15:28Nice to meet you.
00:15:34I'm, uh, Ava's fiancé.
00:15:37What?
00:15:37Yeah!
00:15:38Um, 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.
00:16:12You 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's, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:51Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:54So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh...
00:17:08I am...
00:17:10Which family are you from?
00:17:18I, uh...
00:17:22I am...
00:17:26Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree.
00:17:32A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:37A rising star?
00:17:43You still fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes.
00:17:47Haven't you had enough of their pathetic experience?
00:17:49And 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.
00:18:06I 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.
00:18:20Uh...
00:18:21My 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.
00:19:04Hey, 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.
00:19:32This invitation must have fell.
00:19:33Well, glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:50Ava?
00:19:51Hey!
00:19:52What are you doing here?
00:19:53I, um...
00:19:55I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:58Oh, what are you doing here?
00:20:00Funny coincidence.
00:20:01A friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:03Oh, that's great.
00:20:05For a moment, I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:20:07Oh, God, no.
00:20:08I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:20:10I 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.
00:20:21You'll get there soon enough.
00:20:22You can come with me.
00:20:26Tonight, then.
00:20:27Oh, great.
00:20:28Great.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:42Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:47Please go ahead, man.
00:20:48Oh, shit.
00:20:55Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:57Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:59You lost it?
00:21:00Or 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?
00:21:04I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:21:06Ava?
00:21:07Shh.
00:21:07What, are you stalking us?
00:21:11Take a hint.
00:21:13That's alone.
00:21:14It's like wherever we are, you're just there stalking us.
00:21:25Weird.
00:21:26Why do I have two?
00:21:30Ava?
00:21:37It'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?
00:21:48But 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.
00:22:33I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:37Oh, shit.
00:22:41Mrs. Ra, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:46I'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.
00:23:12Just go let the rocks in.
00:23:14No worries.
00:23:15My 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.
00:23:26Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32It's you.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:34She's not here.
00:23:49Yes, I guess.
00:23:51Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to be graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:29V, she feels so familiar, almost like Ava.
00:24:37Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:24:39I 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.
00:24:48This 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.
00:24:56Yeah, you're right.
00:24:58I've married her for three years.
00:25:00I know her inside and out.
00:25:04She 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, baby.
00:25:23Is V walking towards me?
00:25:25Is she going to kiss 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.
00:25:32Because of the cover.
00:25:41You're going to get your big break.
00:25:43My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:45Because of the cover.
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.
00:25:54Are 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, hey.
00:26:03No, wait, wait.
00:26:04No.
00:26:04Oh.

00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07I have seen this bracelet before.
00:26:16I'll be fine after some rest.
00:26:22Ava?
00:26:24Could V be Ava?
00:26:27Excuse me, Mrs. Roth.
00:26:38That's me.

00:35:38How much?
00:35:40One million.
00:35:48One million.
00:35:50That's it. Just a million.
00:35:52You don't know the future.
00:35:54One million is just the interest.
00:35:56The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:58Ten million?
00:36:00What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:36:02I don't care.
00:36:04I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:06I can.
00:36:10You're a liar.
00:36:12Not 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.
00:36:36No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or they're with, I know everything.
00:36:40Just try digging a little deeper.
00:36:42My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:36:46And the divorce settlement?
00:36:47It's hefty.
00:36:48What?
00:36:49You've paid eleven million dollars?
00:36:50What?
00:36:51You've paid eleven million dollars?
00:36:52What?
00:36:53What?
00:36:54What?
00:36:55What?
00:36:56What?
00:36:57What?
00:36:58What?
00:36:59What?
00:37:00What?
00:37:01What?
00:37:02What?
00:37:03What?
00:37:04My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:37:06And the divorce settlement?
00:37:08It's hefty.
00:37:09What?
00:37:10What?
00:37:11You've paid eleven million dollars for William?
00:37:13Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:15Maybe to you, he's just a broke...
00:37:16When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:17Money is one thing, but William...
00:37:19He's worth more than all of it.
00:37:21When I needed him he was there money's one thing, but William
00:37:27He's worth more than all of it
00:37:33Geez, 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 now
00:38:04Ava, are you okay? I'm fine. You 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 them for years. I don't know. Could it be because of the live stream video? I mean it has to be
00:38:30This is all on Ava
00:38:34I'm gonna kill her. I swear. I hope you do
00:38:37I mean with Katzenberg gone. We're missing an 80% funding gap
00:38:43We may as well file for bankruptcy. Oh, Daniel, please calm down
00:38:48I've just gotten word that he's hosting auditions for a new film tomorrow. So if I can get her approval
00:38:56Well, then you as the face of our company
00:39:00You'll skyrocket a price
00:39:02Katzenberg will be begging for sheriffs
00:39:05Oh, you genius
00:39:14Sam?
00:39:14Miss, the casting call is tomorrow. I 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
00:39:24I've got one last strike for this idiot
00:39:26What do you mean?
00:39:28Have Cameron contact Sophia. Oh, she can buy a role in my new film
00:39:32I'm just too nervous. I can't get into any of the emotional scenes
00:39:56Do you like baking?
00:39:58Do you like baking?
00:40:10Oh, no, oh, oh
00:40:12Oh
00:40:30Well, sorry, I'm I'm Cameron the producer of his movie
00:40:34So once I pay oh no, oh
00:40:37Oh
00:40:39Sophie's got the role right?
00:40:55Of course
00:40:56Uh, sorry I'm
00:40:57I'm Cameron the producer of his movie
00:41:00So once I pay Sophia's got the role right?
00:41:04Of course
00:41:05of course
00:41:07I
00:41:08This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Nothing.
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 fine.
00:41:38All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:41Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:46Can I kiss you?
00:42:07You should probably take that.
00:42:10Oh.
00:42:12Why the hell?
00:42:14How many times I was just trying to feel it?
00:42:18Well, 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.
00:42:40Ava, you'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?
00:43:03Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:07What's wrong?
00:43:08Has something happened?
00:43:10No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:14Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:17Could you be my partner?
00:43:29Um, all right.
00:43:31Um, yeah, no, I mean, of course.
00:43:33I'll go with you.
00:43:35Ava, thank you.
00:43:36I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:40Yeah, okay.
00:43:41Bye.
00:43:44Ava, where are you going?
00:43:46Like, if you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:50Who will choose the actors?
00:43:54You'll hit me.
00:43:55Me?
00:44:10Fuck!
00:44:11Ava!
00:44:12What are they doing here?
00:44:13First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:44:17All right.
00:44:18Let's get this casting underway.
00:44:20I can't love you anymore.
00:44:33Please.
00:44:34Please.
00:44:35Let me go.
00:44:37Let us bury our love in the past.
00:44:42And never look back.
00:44:44Cut.
00:44:46Next.
00:44:47What'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.
00:44:57If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:45:00But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:45:06Her acting.
00:45:07Makes 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.
00:45:26What'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 prose 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?
00:46:04Training 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.
00:46:30You 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.
00:46:58Before you go.
00:47:00Can you kiss me once more?
00:47:02It's really nice how to fake it.
00:47:17Now for the official casting results.
00:47:21It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:47:26I think we've got a backup plan.
00:47:35Who cares about acting?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:37I mean, acting is nothing, really.
00:47:41Money is how you get the role.
00:47:45Eto'o.
00:47:47Efi.
00:47:48Kevin.
00:47:49William.
00:47:51Oh my god, what?
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, Ava.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03No way.
00:48:05Ava, you got in as well.
00:48:07Yeah.
00:48:11This isn't fair.
00:48:12The list has been tampered with.
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.
00:48:36So 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,
00:48:41because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:48:45Wait, what are you talking about?
00:48:46Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:48:49Um,
00:48:51I am actually an investor in the film.
00:48:56Liam, please don't get carried over it.
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
00:49:02pretending to be some film investor?
00:49:05Do you know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie?
00:49:08Wait, wait a minute.
00:49:14Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:49:16My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:49:35Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:49:37A washed up actor
00:49:39trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:49:43The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:49:46Got connections everywhere.
00:49:48And this nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:52Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:57Katzenberg?
00:49:58Oh my God, he's William's creditor.
00:50:00Shit.
00:50:00Grandpa?
00:50:11Why is he here?
00:50:13Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:23Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:26Mr. John,
00:50:27it 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,
00:50:45you came at the perfect time.
00:50:47Because somebody here
00:50:48is 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.
00:51:00Sir?
00:51:13What the hell?
00:51:14You're chasing me down now?
00:51:16I already paid you back.
00:51:17I already paid you back.
00:51:27Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:51:29I already paid you back.
00:51:30Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:31This is my grandson.
00:51:37William Katberg.
00:51:38Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:51:42What does this mean?
00:51:43No, no, no, no.
00:51:44This can't be.
00:51:45Daniel, I don't need your opinion
00:51:48on how to choose an heir.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:52So this is how it is.
00:51:55Well, the Katzenbergs
00:51:56are using their movies
00:51:58to launder their dirty money.
00:52:00Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:52:02Slandering us like that
00:52:03will land you in prison.
00:52:04Daniel, before you jump to conclusions,
00:52:08there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:52:14Cameron?
00:52:17Ava, you know him?
00:52:18You two have been working together
00:52:20this whole time?
00:52:21Cameron, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:52:35Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:52:37I am V's producer.
00:52:40Then 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
00:53:02to ruin me?
00:53:03All right, so you would like me
00:53:05to unlift it all
00:53:07and reveal
00:53:08who V is today.
00:53:11Well, Ava,
00:53:12is that okay?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14In the flesh.
00:53:16That's correct.
00:53:17This is the mysterious,
00:53:19the fabulous, the fearless,
00:53:21V.
00:53:24And she's also the heiress
00:53:26of the green family fortune.
00:53:28Oh, it's V.
00:53:29Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:53:32Famous director and heiress.
00:53:34V's got the perfect life.
00:53:35No, no, 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, I swear,
00:53:54I am going to kill you.
00:53:56You want to try to fight?
00:53:57Are you crazy?
00:53:58I'm going to kill you.
00:53:59FBI, everyone free.
00:54:10What are you doing here?
00:54:11Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:54:13From here on out,
00:54:13you have the right to remain silent.
00:54:14Anything you say
00:54:15will be used against you in court.
00:54:19What are you talking about?
00:54:21I...
00:54:22Who told you?
00:54:23Who do you think?
00:54:26You.

00:54:43Get off!
00:54:44Ava, so you're not only V,
00:54:46but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:54:49I mean,
00:54:50I knew something was off.
00:54:52Yes, okay,
00:54:53I haven't been completely honest with you,
00:54:55but
00:54:56you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:55:01I've wanted to be honest,
00:55:03but you know how lies can top 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,
00:55:11then maybe...
00:55:12Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:16Thank you, Frank.
