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.

00:06:14Just 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
00:06:24and I don't know how to work with my wife.
00:06:26I'm not going to be a good job.
00:06:27You're not going to be a good job.
00:06:28It's not going to be a good job.
00:06:29You're not going to be a good job.
00:06:30I'm Ava.
00:06:31You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?

00:06:45Um...
00:06:46You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:50Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:52Perfect. Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:07:02Um... should... should we...
00:07:11There you go.
00:07:16Hey, 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?
00:07:50So... she's not Miss Bryan?
00:07:53I'm not Miss Bryan.
00:07:55I'm not Miss Bryan.
00:07:59Our surprise.
00:08:03So she's already in town.
00:08:06She makes a fire FPV3132.
00:08:08Don't be amazing.
00:08:10Please.
00:08:12No, my really.
00:08:13You're definitely not.
00:08:14I'm finally back.
00:08:21Hello?
00:08:22Hey, it's me.
00:08:25Oh, um, hey, what's up?
00:08:29I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:39Hey.
00:08:40Hey. 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.
00:08:58Come on.
00:09:07You live here.
00:09:10Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:13Uh.
00:09:19Don'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.
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36Yeah.
00:09:36Tim, totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:48Three years since what?
00:09:49Ah!
00:09:49Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:08Do you want pizza?
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Pizza works.
00:10:14I'll go make an order.
00:10:23Right.
00:10:27Oh, you're...
00:10:28Hey, Peter.
00:10:42Run a check on this girl.
00:10:43Oh, my God.
00:10:55Mike.
00:10:56What?
00:10:56Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:59What the?
00:11:00I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:11:07I swear if he hurt 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, it's my stomach.
00:11:43Here.
00:11:44Let's get you down.
00:11:48Hey.
00:11:48You 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, you said you needed some rest.
00:12:57I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:58It's okay.
00:12:59I can walk by myself.
00:13:01No, you can't.
00:13:02I can't believe so.
00:13:07I can't believe so.
00:13:08Nothing.
00:13:08Okay.
00:13:08Nice.
00:13:13Uh.
00:13:14Nice.
00:13:21Nice.
00:13:26Oh, geez.
00:13:32Oh, geez.
00:13:38Oh
00:14:08You're awake. Yeah, I am. I just got up
00:14:20Do you have an apron or you also did hot of course, um, just let me help you
00:14:38Oh
00:15:02Oh God what are you doing?
00:15:08Who are they? I'm her. They are my best friend's parents
00:15:18They've come to see if the house needs any repairs, right? And this is
00:15:25He's um
00:15:32Nice to meet you. I'm uh Ava's fiancee
00:15:37What?
00:15:42Yeah, um, he's my fiancee
00:15:45William
00:15:46Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:15:57Look, I don't even know where to start. Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband
00:16:11You picked up husband like you pick up a stray dog
00:16:16Pretty much
00:16:18Honestly, it's almost like the same thing
00:16:20Oh, whatever. All 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 bitches relatives won't even exist
00:16:33What? No, we're not doing that
00:16:34Why not?
00:16:35Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell
00:16:38Your dad and I will tear them apart
00:16:40You're a dad and I will tear them apart
00:16:41And feed them to the wolves
00:16:42Okay, mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:45Tonight at the director's I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone
00:16:48Trust me, you're not going to let him get away with it
00:16:52We're not going to let him get away with it
00:16:58So, William
00:16:59Which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh...
00:17:08I am...
00:17:17Which family are you from?
00:17:20I, uh...
00:17:22I am...
00:17:25Okay, dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree
00:17:32A rising star in the performing arts
00:17:37A rising star?
00:17:43Still 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, that's okay
00:17:56Bye
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
00:18:19Uh...
00:18:20My best friend's family owe us
00:18:23So...
00:18:24They owe you?
00:18:25Why...
00:18:26Why do they owe you?
00:18:27Well...
00:18:28When my friend's family were broke
00:18:30My parents gave them $10,000
00:18:34After that they made it big
00:18:36So...
00:18:37We just kind of have like this special bond
00:18:40Hmm...
00:18:41Hmm...
00:18:51Big news!
00:18:52Eminent and elusive Oscar winning director

00:19:56For a lunch at the hotel
00:19:58Oh!

00:20:07Oh, god no

00:20:52Um...
00:20:53Can you just make an exception?
00:20:54You lost it?
00:20:55Or you never had one?
00:20:56You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:20:57Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:20:58I've seen hundreds of people like you today
00:20:59Ava?
00:21:00Where are you?
00:21:01Are you stalking us?
00:21:02Take a hint
00:21:03It's alone
00:21:04It's like wherever we are you're just there stalking us
00:21:08Weird
00:21:09Why do I have two?
00:21:10Ava?
00:21:11It's like wherever we are you're just stalking us
00:21:12It's like wherever we are you're just there stalking us
00:21:17You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:18What?
00:21:19You really think they're just gonna let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:23But you should get over yourself
00:21:24But you should get over yourself
00:21:25Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in
00:21:27He wouldn't spend a dime on someone
00:21:55He 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,
00:22:15and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:17So, leave us alone.
00:22:19Because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:22:22I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:25Oh, shit.
00:22:30Mrs. Ra.
00:22:31You're disgusting.
00:22:33I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:36Oh, shit.
00:22:41Mrs. Ra, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:55I'm actually divorced.
00:23:03I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:23:05You see that one?
00:23:07That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:23:09All right, Miss Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:11No worries.
00:23:12I'll just go let go often.
00:23:15No 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.
00:23:26Oh, 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.
00:23:48I guess I'm a superstar.
00:23:53Of course, why would Eva have it?
00:23:55Who would I?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:24:00Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious,
00:24:06Davey graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:32V, she feels so familiar, almost like Eva.
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 since her last project.
00:24:45Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:48This V, I figure it's almost like Eva's.
00:24:52No way.
00:24:53Eva'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.
00:25:03She can never compare to V.
00:25:06Idiots.
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, V.
00:25:23Baby, is V walking towards me.
00:25:24Is she going to use 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.
00:25:30My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:32Because of the cover.
00:25:42You're going to get your big break.
00:25:43My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:45Because of the cover.
00:25:46Oh my god, is V okay?
00:25:49Dammit!
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...
00:26:02No, hey.
00:26:02No, wait, wait.
00:26:03No, no.
00:26:05It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07I've 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
00:26:43as 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.
00:26:51Mommy.
00:26:57Oh my god.
00:27:03Everything's done?
00:27:05Everything is gone.
00:27:13James?
00:27:14Whoa, whoa.
00:27:15Look who it is.
00:27:17Oh babe, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:20Hell yeah.
00:27:27What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:31Well, I'll let it go.
00:27:41The audition for Director V starts now.
00:27:44The scene is called The Affair.
00:27:46You must play a couple having a secret meeting
00:27:49while each has their own family.
00:27:51Cameras are set up.
00:27:53Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:54All right, let's do this.
00:27:58As you wish.
00:28:07Honey.
00:28:09I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:28:11I had to wait forever for my husband
00:28:13to fall asleep so I could come.
00:28:15Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:17Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:30This dream is officially live.
00:28:31Let's add another play to the game.
00:28:33Let's camp up the drama.
00:28:39Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:41This show's about to get good.
00:28:43I'm so scared.
00:28:58Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Ah, don't talk about him.
00:29:08You bitch!
00:29:13Daniel.
00:29:13No, no, it's not you.
00:29:14No, Daniel, stop!
00:29:15Shut the hell up!
00:29:16It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:17This is an audition.
00:29:18You expect me to believe that?
00:29:19You're auditioning, you're acting
00:29:20while you're naked in this room kissing your ex?
00:29:21Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:29:22She asked me to audition.
00:29:23James, he's an actor too.
00:29:24He's helping with the audition, please.
00:29:25Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:26You said the script, you asshole, come on!
00:29:28It's an affair, okay?
00:29:29We're just an audition, it's for the audition!
00:29:30You really think he could intimidate me?
00:29:31I'm doing this for your company.
00:29:32I'm doing this for V.
00:29:33I'm doing this for V.
00:29:34Ha!
00:29:35Ha!
00:29:36Ha!
00:29:37Ha!
00:29:38Ha!

00:29:55Ha!
00:29:56Ha!
00:29:56All right, it's all right.
00:29:57Why didn't you here?
00:29:58Where is she?
00:29:59I'm all your talent.
00:30:01You think she would notice you by now?
00:30:03No.
00:30:05What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:08Is it movie project?
00:30:09Shut the fuck up!
00:30:10You'd know that if it wasn't for me, your company would be underground!
00:30:13Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:17You thought you could sleep with your ex, without me finding out.
00:30:20Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:23You cheating on your wife with me, you asshole!
00:30:26What the fuck?
00:30:28What the fuck?
00:30:34What the fuck?
00:30:46This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:50This feels way too real.
00:30:52Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:54And his new girlfriend.
00:30:56What the fuck?
00:30:58You want again?
00:31:18Geez, this is a next level violence, Art.
00:31:20Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:22Wait a second.
00:31:24This is clearly revenge.
00:31:26The livestream of Ava's ex and his mistress.
00:31:28Could it be Ava's actually dream?
00:31:30Could it be Ava's actually dream?
00:31:32What the fuck?
00:31:40Wait!
00:31:41Stop!
00:31:42Stop!
00:31:43I was paid to be here.
00:31:44To 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.
00:31:52Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:31:54Who even played?
00:31:56Who's behind this?
00:31:57Who's posting this online?
00:31:59Ava?
00:32:02You...
00:32:03You set me up!
00:32:04Back off.
00:32:05You posted this?
00:32:06You humiliated us?
00:32:08Humiliated?
00:32:09Daniel, did you ever care?
00:32:10Because 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?
00:32:17You were gonna pay for this!
00:32:19Run!
00:32:20Security!
00:32:21They're fighting!
00:32:22Daniel!
00:32:35Three years of marriage and I've never felt so...
00:32:37protected.
00:32:38Protected.
00:32:44Ladies and gentlemen.
00:32:46Due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if...
00:32:49Event is over.
00:32:51No!
00:32:52Please stay tuned for more information.
00:32:54Ticket money down the drain!
00:32:56That was gonna be my big break!
00:32:58I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:33:00I just wanna see what amazing director look like.
00:33:05Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait, wait.
00:33:07What is up with that video online?
00:33:09What video?
00:33:10The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:13Why is it posted from V's account?
00:33:15Why is V trying to take them down?
00:33:16Are you...
00:33:17Okay, okay, okay.
00:33:20Look, that's because I'm...
00:33:25Sorry.
00:33:27Yeah?
00:33:28Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:37We dug into it.
00:33:38Turns out, Miss Ava's just a regular housewife.
00:33:41Got it.
00:33:45I'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.
00:33:56About to marry?
00:33:57We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:33:59Yeah, 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.
00:34:13I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:34:16If 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.
00:34:28If anyone hurts my fiancee, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:34Sorry to interrupt the sir.
00:34:43Sorry to interrupt the sir, but a master wants to see you.
00:34:47Hey, wait, who are you?
00:34:48I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:51My gran...
00:34:53What?
00:34:54There's a lot I need to explain.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:15What?
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:23Why am I the only one allowed in? Why can't William come?
00:35:26Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:35:28How dare you say that about him?
00:35:30He owes you money, right?
00:35:32What if I said yes?
00:35:34How much? Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:35:36Pay it off? It's no small amount.
00:35:38How much?
00:35:39Well...
00:35:40One million.
00:35:48One million.
00:35:50That's it.
00:35:51What? Just a million.
00:35:52You don't know the future.
00:35:54One million is just the interest.
00:35:57The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:59Ten million?
00:36:01What 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.
00:36:08I can.
00:36:11You're a liar.
00:36:13Not only are you broke.
00:36:17But you're a liar.
00:36:19You're a divorced woman.
00:36:21You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:22You've been waiting tables.
00:36:25What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:28How 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.
00:36:49Did you investigate me?
00:36:51Yes, I did.
00:36:53In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:56No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:37:00Just try 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.
00:37:12What?
00:37:14You've paid eleven million dollars for William?
00:37:18Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:20Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:22When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:24Money's one thing, but William?
00:37:27He's worth more than all of it.
00:37:28And all of it.
00:37:33Geez.
00:37:35It'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.
00:37:48Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:37:53Now.
00:37:58Ava, are you okay?
00:37:59I'm fine.
00:38:05You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:11What?
00:38:13What?
00:38:21Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:24We've been working with them for years.
00:38:26I don't know. Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:29I mean, it has to be.
00:38:30This is all on Ava.
00:38:31I...
00:38:33I...
00:38:35I'm gonna kill her.
00:38:36I swear.
00:38:37I hope you do.
00:38:39I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:38:43We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:38:46Oh, Daniel, please, calm down.
00:38:48I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:38:53So, if I can get her approval...
00:38:57Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket the price.
00:39:03Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:05Oh, you genius!
00:39:14Sam?
00:39:15Miss, the casting call is tomorrow.
00:39:17I just heard.
00:39:18Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:39:21They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:39:23Even so,
00:39:25I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:27What do you mean?
00:39:29Have Cameron contact Sofia.
00:39:30Or she can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:35Herob ExÂŹs
00:39:54I'm just...too nervous.
00:39:55I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:39:58Do you like baking?
00:39:59Anything?
00:40:11Oh, no, oh, oh!
00:40:29Oh, sorry, I'm nine, Cameron, the producer of his movie.
00:40:35So, once I pay...
00:40:36Oh, no, oh, oh!
00:40:56Well, sorry, I'm nine, Cameron, the producer of his movie.
00:41:00So, once I pay, Sophie's got the role, right?
00:41:04Of course.
00:41:16This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Uh, nothing.
00:41:21Capes?
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, and 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!
00:41:43Can I kiss you?
00:41:51You should probably take that.
00:41:55You should probably take that.
00:42:08Oh.
00:42:08Why the hell?
00:42:09How many times I was just trying to feel it?
00:42:11Hmm.
00:42:12Well, look at you back in character.
