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.
00:06:20Did you know?
00:06:21Um, you know, funnily enough I'm in the market for a contract
00:06:38but I'm doing so well, okay.
00:06:41I mean...
00:06:44No, I'm not.
00:06:47You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:51Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:53Perfect. Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:07:02Um... should... should we...
00:07:12There you go.
00:07:17Hey, 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?
00:07:47So... she's not Miss Bryan?
00:07:52She's not Miss Bryan.
00:08:12Three years.
00:08:13I'm finally back.
00:08:22Hello?
00:08:23Hey! It's me!
00:08:25Oh, um... hey, uh, what's up?
00:08:28I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:40Hey!
00:08:41Um... so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:45Well, uh...
00:08:46Well, uh...
00:08:48Um...
00:08:49I've been out of work.
00:08:50I couldn't pay my rent.
00:08:52So, landlord kicked me out.
00:08:54Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:56Come on.
00:08:57You live here.
00:08:58Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:11Uh...
00:09:12Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:13Uh...
00:09:14Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:15Uh...
00:09:16No.
00:09:17This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:18I'm just half sitting.
00:09:19Oh.
00:09:20Uh...
00:09:21Uh...
00:09:22Make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:23Uh...
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:25Uh...
00:09:26Tim...
00:09:27Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:28Three years since what?
00:09:29Ah!
00:09:30Uh...
00:09:31I totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:34Ah!
00:09:35Oh!
00:09:36Oh!
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:38Oh!
00:09:39Oh!
00:09:40Oh!
00:09:41Oh!
00:09:42Oh!
00:09:43Oh!
00:09:44Oh!
00:09:45Oh!
00:09:46Oh!
00:09:47Oh!
00:09:48Oh!
00:09:49Oh!
00:09:50Oh!
00:09:51Oh!
00:09:52Oh!
00:09:53Oh!
00:09:54Oh.
00:09:55Oh!
00:09:56Oh!
00:09:57Oh!
00:09:58Oh!
00:09:59Um...
00:10:00So the fridge...
00:10:01Is empty.
00:10:04Yeah?
00:10:06Yeah?
00:10:07Do you want pizza?
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Pizza works.
00:10:14All right.
00:10:16Um...
00:10:17Um, I'll go make an order.
00:10:23Right.
00:10:27Oh, you're...
00:10:28Hey, Peter, run a check on this girl.
00:10:47Oh, 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, that's it.
00:11:12Him and his company are dead.
00:11:14Hear 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.
00:11:36Hey.
00:11:38You okay?
00:11:38Um, it'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, other than my parents.
00:12:02I know you're the first person who's taking care of me like this, other than my parents.
00:12:16Do you think you ate something bad?
00:12:19Do you 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.
00:12:32I'll be fine.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:34Okay.

00:13:56oh
00:14:00Uh, you're awake.
00:14:13Yeah, I am.
00:14:15I just got up.
00:14:17Um, do you have an apron?
00:14:22Or you're also a bit hot.
00:14:25Of course.
00:14:28Just let me help you.
00:14:30I'm going to help you.
00:15:00Oh, God.
00:15:03Eva, what are you doing?
00:15:13Who are they?
00:15:14I'm her.
00:15:15They are my best friend's parents.
00:15:18They've come to see if the house needs any repairs.
00:15:21Right?
00:15:21And this is...
00:15:25He's...
00:15:27Um...
00:15:28Um...
00:15:31Nice to meet you.
00:15:34I'm, uh...
00:15:35Eva's fiance.
00:15:36What?
00:15:37Yeah, um...
00:15:43He's my fiancee, William.
00:15:46Eva, what the hell is going on?
00:16:06Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:16:09Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:16:13You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:16:17Pretty much.
00:16:18Honestly, 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?
00:17:52And now look where you are.
00:17:53Okay, that's enough.
00:17:54We gotta get going.
00:17:55Let's go.
00:17:56That's okay.
00:17:57Bye.
00:18:05I'm sorry.
00:18:06I 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...
00:18:20My best friend's family owe us, so...
00:18:24Uh, they owe you?
00:18:26Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:28Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:35After 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, what are you doing here?
00:19:53I, um, I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:58Oh, what are you doing here?
00:20:00Funny coincidence, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:03Oh, that's great.
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.
00:20:27Great.
00:20:28Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:47Please go ahead, man.
00:20:52Oh, shit.
00:20:53Sorry, 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?
00:21:08Where are you?
00:21:09You're stalking us?
00:21:11Take a hint.
00:21:13It's alone.
00:21:13It'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?
00:21:48V, 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.
00:22:10And 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.
00:22:25Mrs. Ra, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:45I'm, um, I'm actually divorced.
00:23:03I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:23:06You see that one?
00:23:08That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:23:09Sorry, Ms. Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:12No worries.
00:23:13Just go let the wife 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.
00:23:27Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32You.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:34She's not here.
00:23:49Yes, I guess.
00:23:52Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:24:00Ladies and gentlemen.
00:24:02Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to V graces the stage.
00:24:22Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:29V, she feels so familiar.
00:24:36Almost 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.
00:25:16Oh, my God, V.
00:25:23Baby, it's V walking towards me.
00:25:25Is she going to choose me?
00:25:26Of course.
00:25:27I've always said you're my diamond.
00:25:29You're going to get your big break.
00:25:31My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:32Because of the cover.
00:25:33Ah!
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 stares?
00:25:52This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:56Are you okay?
00:25:57William?
00:25:58No, no, no, no.
00:25:58I can't let him know who I am.
00:26:00I am...
00:26:01Oh, hey.
00:26:03No, wait, wait.
00:26:04No, no.
00:26:05It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07I've seen this bracelet before.
00:26:17I'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.
00:26:39Who are you?
00:26:40Director V wants you to audition
00:26:42as a male actor in room 301.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48V wants me to audition.
00:26:49This is going to be my big break.
00:26:51I'm on me.
00:26:52Everything's done?
00:27:05Everything is gone.
00:27:12James?
00:27:14Whoa, whoa.
00:27:15Look who it is.
00:27:17Oh, babe.
00:27:18I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:20Hell yeah.
00:27:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:31Well, I...
00:27:31The audition for Director V starts now.
00:27:44The scene is called The Affair.
00:27:47You must play a couple having a secret meeting
00:27:49while each has their own family.
00:27:52Cameras are set up.
00:27:53Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:56All right.
00:27:57Let's do this.
00:27:59As you wish.
00:28:07Honey.
00:28:09I'm so sorry, Emily.
00:28:11I had to wait forever for my husband
00:28:13to fall asleep so I could come.
00:28:16I hope you weren't waiting too long.
00:28:17I hope you weren't waiting too long.
00:28:29The stream is officially live.
00:28:31Let's add another play to the game.
00:28:33Let's camp up the drama.
00:28:34Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:41This show's about to get good.
00:28:43You bitch!
00:28:56Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Don't talk about him.
00:29:05You bitch!
00:29:09You bitch!
00:29:19Daniel!
00:29:20No, no, it's not you.
00:29:20No, Daniel, stop!
00:29:22Shut the hell up!
00:29:23It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:25This is an audition.
00:29:26You expect me to believe that you're auditioning, you're acting, while you're naked in this room, kissing your ex?
00:29:32Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:29:33She asked me to audition.
00:29:35James, he's an actor, too.
00:29:36He's helping with the audition, please.
00:29:37Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:40Who sent the script, you asshole?
00:29:42Come on!
00:29:43It's an affair, okay?
00:29:45We're just, I'm an audition.
00:29:46It's for the audition.
00:29:49You really think you're going to intimidate me?
00:29:52I'm doing this for your company.
00:29:53I'm doing this for V.
00:29:55Come on!
00:29:56Save it, alright?
00:29:57Why don't you hear?
00:29:58Where is she?
00:30:00I mean, all your talent, you think she would notice you by now?
00:30:04What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:07Is it new V-project?
00:30:09Shut the fuck up!
00:30:10You know that if it wasn't for me, you'd come to be underground!
00:30:14Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:16You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:30:21Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:23You're cheating on your wife with me, you asshole!
00:30:26What the fuck?
00:30:31What the fuck?
00:30:32What the fuck?
00:30:45Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:46This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49This feels way too real.
00:30:52Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:54And his new girlfriend?
00:30:55What the fuck?
00:30:57What the fuck?
00:30:57Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:59Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:59What the fuck?
00:31:01Fuck!
00:31:01Ah!
00:31:02Ah!
00:31:03Ah!
00:31:03Ah!
00:31:05Ah!
00:31:19Jeez, this is a next level of violence, Art.
00:31:21Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:24Wait a second. This is clearly revenge. The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress. Could it be Ava's actually dream?
00:31:40Wait! Stop! Stop! I was paid to be here. To play along. I 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.
00:31:55Who even played? Who's behind this? Who's posting this online?
00:31:59Ava?
00:32:02You... You set me up!
00:32:04Back off.
00:32:05You posted this? You humiliated us?
00:32:08Humiliated? Daniel, did you ever care? Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:32:12Hey, wasn't this your big break into the street? Now the whole world knows you. Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:18You are gonna pay for this!
00:32:20Run!
00:32:21Run!
00:32:22Security! They're fighting!
00:32:23Daniel!
00:32:24Whoa!
00:32:25Whoa!
00:32:26Go!
00:32:27Go!

00:32:57Go!
00:32:58Go!
00:32:59Go!
00:33:00Go!
00:33:01I just want to see what an amazing director looks like.
00:33:06Hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:33:08What is up with that video online?
00:33:10What video?
00:33:11The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:14Why is it posted from V's account? Why is V trying to take them down?
00:33:17Are you...
00:33:18Okay, okay.
00:33:21Look, that's because I'm...
00:33:26Sorry.
00:33:28Yeah?
00:33:29Remember, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:38We dug into it.
00:33:39Turns out Miss Ava's just a regular housewife.
00:33:42Got it.
00:33:46I'm sorry, I 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?
00:34:00Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract.
00:34:04And I thought we were so much more.
00:34:08You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:34:10And I thought you could feel it too.
00:34:13I 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.
00:34:18I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:34:29If anyone hurts my fiancee, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:35Sorry to interrupt the sir.
00:34:43Sorry to interrupt the sir, but the master wants to see you.
00:34:47Hey, wait, who are you?
00:34:48I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:51My gran-
00:34:54There's a lot I need to ex-
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:06What?
00:35:19Oh.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:23Why am I the only one allowed in?
00:35:24Why can't William come?
00:35:25Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:35:28How dare you say that about him?
00:35:30He owes you money, 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 smaller man.
00:35:38How much?
00:35:40Well, one million.
00:35:48One million.
00:35:50That's it. What, just a million?
00:35:51You don't know the future.
00:35:53One million is just the interest.
00:35:56The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:59Ten million?
00:36:01What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:36:03I don't care.
00:36:04I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:07I can.
00:36:11You're a liar.
00:36:13Not only are you broke,
00:36:16but you're a liar.
00:36:18You're a divorced woman.
00:36:19You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:22You've been waiting tables.
00:36:24What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:27How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:30Did you investigate me?
00:36:32Yes, I did.
00:36:34In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:37No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or they're with,
00:36:41I know everything.
00:36:49Try digging a little deeper.
00:36:51My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:36:53And the divorce settlement?
00:36:55It's hefty.
00:36:57What?
00:36:58You've paid eleven million dollars for William?
00:36:59Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:00Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:01But when I needed him, he was there.
00:37:03Money's one thing, but William?
00:37:04He's worth more than all of it.
00:37:05Geez.
00:37:07It's as if destiny is the right.
00:37:08It's worth more than you.
00:37:10It's the rightfrored.
00:37:11It's the rightfrored company.
00:37:12And the divorce settlement?
00:37:13It's hefty.
00:37:15It's hefty.
00:37:16What?
00:37:18You've paid eleven million dollars for William?
00:37:20Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:21Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:23But when I needed him, he was there.
00:37:25Money'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.
00:37:48Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:37:53Now.
00:37:56Ava, are you okay?
00:38:06I'm fine.
00:38:08You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:13What?
00:38:21Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:23We've been working with them for years.
00:38:25I don't know.
00:38:26Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:28I mean, it has to be.
00:38:30This is all on Ava.
00:38:31I'm gonna kill her.
00:38:35I swear.
00:38:36I 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.
00:38:45Oh, Daniel, please calm down.
00:38:47I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:38:52So, if I can get her approval.
00:38:55Well, then you as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket a price.
00:39:02And Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:05Oh, you genius!
00:39:06Oh, 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, I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:27What do you mean?
00:39:28Have Cameron contact, Sophia.
00:39:30She can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:53I'm just too nervous.
00:39:54I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:39:57Do you like baking?
00:40:11Oh, no.
00:40:12Oh, oh!
00:40:27Sorry, I'm fine, Cameron.
00:40:32The producer of his movie.
00:40:34So, once I pay...
00:40:36Oh, no.
00:40:37Oh, oh!
00:40:38Oh!
00:40:56Sorry, I'm fine, Cameron.
00:40:58The producer of his movie.
00:41:00So, once I pay, Sophia's got the role.
00:41:03Right?
00:41:04Of course.
00:41:17This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Uh, nothing.
00:41:20Cake?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:31Okay, I think we might have had, like, a little bit too much.
00:41:34No, you're not even tipsy.
00:41:36And I'm, I'm fine.
00:41:38Alright.
00:41:39Alright, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:40Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:41Oh!
00:41:50Can I kiss you?
00:41:51Can 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?
00:42:17Hmm.
00:42:18Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:21I think my job here is done.
00:42:24Time to get some sleep.
00:42:25Hit the showers.
00:42:40Wow, Ava.
00:42:42You're stunning.
00:42:43No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:42:49Hmm.
00:42:50Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but...
00:42:53God, I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:43:03Hello?
00:43:05Ava.
00:43:06Can you do me a favor?
00:43:08What's wrong? Has something happened?
00:43:09No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:14Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:18Uh...
00:43:20Um...
00:43:22Uh...
00:43:28Could you be my partner?
00:43:30Um...
00:43:31Alright, um...
00:43:32Yeah, no, I mean, of course.
00:43:33I'll go with you.
00:43:35Ava.
00:43:37I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:40Yeah, okay. Bye.
00:43:44Uh...
00:43:45Ava?
00:43:46Where are you going?
00:43:47If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:50Who will choose the actors?
00:43:52Okay.
00:43:55You'll hand...
00:43:56Me?
00:44:04Where is your hands?
00:44:05Deep.
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.
00:44:17Alright.
00:44:18Let's get this casting underway.
00:44:20I can't love you anymore.
00:44:34Please.
00:44:35Please.
00:44:36Let me go.
00:44:37Let us bury out love in the past.
00:44:43And never look back.
00:44:45Cut.
00:44:46Next.
00:44:48What's going on?
00:44:49I didn't finish my lines.
00:44:51That's enough.
00:44:52He gave me zero emotion.
00:44:54I put my heart into that scene.
00:44:55He gave me nothing!
00:44:56If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:45:00But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:45:06Her acting.
00:45:10Makes me want to puke.
00:45:12Next.
00:45:14That's our turn.
00:45:15Hey.
00:45:17You got this.
00:45:21Whoa!
00:45:22Sorry.
00:45:23This woman is not an actress.
00:45:25She has no right to audition.
00:45:36What's going on here?
00:45:38It's simple.
00:45:39I brought my fiance to audition.
00:45:41It'll help me give a better performance.
00:45:44This is V's casting.
00:45:45Come on.
00:45:46Only pros allowed.
00:45:47You just gonna 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?
00:45:59What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:46:03Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:46:06No, you can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:46:13That's what a true actor does.
00:46:15What a true actor does.
00:46:24Alright.
00:46:25You're up.
00:46:26You know, you say you love me, but...
00:46:33I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:46:36Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:46:38Who that I can't?
00:46:40I can see your strength.
00:46:43Your kindness and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:46:45I 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 I see myself.
00:46:57And I love you.
00:46:59Before you go.
00:47:01Can you kiss me once more?
00:47:16Bitch really knows how to fake it.
00:47:19Now for the official casting results.
00:47:24It's a good thing we've got a backup.
00:47:28I think we've got a backup plan.
00:47:32Who cares about acting?
00:47:33Yeah.
00:47:35I mean, acting is nothing really.
00:47:37Money is how you get the role.
00:47:39Eto'o.
00:47:41Effie.
00:47:43Kevin.
00:47:45William.
00:47:47Oh my God, what?
00:47:48That's incredible.
00:47:50William, you're amazing.
00:47:52Why am I not on this list?
00:47:53They're still going.
00:47:54Okay.
00:47:55It's okay.
00:47:56Uh, last.
00:47:57Ava.
00:47:58What?
00:47:59No way.
00:48:01Ava, you got in as well.
00:48:03Yeah.
00:48:05This isn't fair.
00:48:07The Lisbon chair broke where-
00:48:08There is cheating going on in this casting.
00:48:09Where's your proof?
00:48:10Without anything to back it up, that's slandering.
00:48:11Proof?
00:48:12Well, um, I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role.
00:48:14Yeah, and they've already taken the money.
00:48:15So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:48:16So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:48:17So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:48:20Oh, is that so?
00:48:21You know, it's funny you say that, because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:48:23Wait, what are you talking about?
00:48:24What are you talking about?
00:48:25You know, you're talking about the casting, you know.
00:48:26The casting, you're casting, you're casting.
00:48:27Where's your proof?
00:48:28Where's your proof?
00:48:29Without anything to back it up, that's slandering.
00:48:30Proof?
00:48:31Well, um, I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role.
00:48:33Yeah, I've never already taken the money.
00:48:34So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing!
00:48:36So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing!
00:48:38Oh, is that so?
00:48:39So, you know, it's funny you say that, because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:48:45Wait, what are you talking about?
00:48:47Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:48:49Um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:48:56Liam, please don't get carried over.
00:48:57No, it's true, okay? I'll prove it to you.
00:49:00Prove it? You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:49:05You know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie.
00:49:09Wait, wait a minute.
00:49:14Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:49:29My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:49:35Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:49:37A washed-up actor, trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:49:43The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:49:46Got connections everywhere, and this nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:52Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:57Katzenberg? Oh my God, he's William's creditor.
00:50:00Grandpa? Why is he here?
00:50:13Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:14Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:26Mr. John, it is a pleasure to see you.
00:50:29Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:50:31Have you got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:50:33We're working. May I ask it, why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:50:40We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:50:43What?
00:50:44Wait, wait, wait.
00:50:44Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:50:47Because somebody here is using the Katzenberg name.
00:50:51Oh, now you have my attention.
00:50:53And I'm very curious.
00:50:55Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:50:58Him.
00:51:04Sir?
00:51:13Hey, what the hell?
00:51:14You're chasing me down now?
00:51:16I already paid you back.
00:51:23I already paid you back.
00:51:27Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:51:28I already paid.
00:51:30Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:33This is my grandson.
00:51:37William Katzenberg.
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.
00:51:46Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose an heir.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:51So this is how it is.
00:51:55Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies to launder their dirty money.
00:52:00Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:52:02Slandering us like that will land you in prison.
00:52:05Daniel, before you jump to conclusions, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:52:14Cameron?
00:52:17Ava, you know him?
00:52:18You two have been working together this whole time?
00:52:21Karen, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:52:35Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:52:37I am V's producer.
00:52:40Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:52:42What's in it for you?
00:52:43I 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.
00:52:59So why would she send you to ruin me?
00:53:03So you would like me to, uh, unlift it all and, uh, reveal who V is today.
00:53:11Well, Ava, is that okay?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14In the flesh.
00:53:16That's correct.
00:53:17This is the mysterious, the fabulous, the fearless.
00:53:21V.
00:53:24And she's also the heiress of the Green Family fortune.
00:53:28Oh, it's V.
00:53:29Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:53:32Famous 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 I am going to kill you.
00:53:56You're crazy.
00:53:58I'm going to kill you.
00:53:59FBI, everyone free.
00:54:05What are you doing here?
00:54:11Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:54:13From here on out, you have the right to remain silent.
00:54:14Anything you say will be used against you in court.
00:54:19What are you talking about?
00:54:21I-
00:54:21Who told you?
00:54:23Who do you think?
00:54:26You.
00:54:28Get them out of here.
00:54:29Go of me!
00:54:30Let go!
00:54:31Fuck you!
00:54:33Hey.
00:54:35Get off me!
00:54:43Get off!
00:54:44Ava, so you're not only V, but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:54:49I mean, I knew something was off.
00:54:53Yes, okay, I haven't been completely honest with you, but...
00:54:56And you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:54:58I've wanted to be honest, but you know how lies can talk on top of each other?
00:55:06Look, it's all over now.
00:55:07I'm sorry, but I can't move past this.
00:55:09If we can't even be honest with each other, then maybe...
00:55:13Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:16Thank you, Frank.
00:55:22You can do this.
00:55:43Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:56:04I don't know if you want to be honest with you...
00:56:31Ava, please don't go.
00:57:00Ava.
00:57:01Ava.
00:57:02Leaving us already.
00:57:04Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:57:08Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:57:13I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:57:17Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:57:20You deserve a bigger world.
00:57:24Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:57:26No, no.
00:57:27I have been fooled too many times and I think...
00:57:30I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:57:33If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:57:36As long as you're happy.
00:57:37Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:57:41A guy with eight pack abs.
00:57:42Anyway, my driver, I'll see you in a bit.
00:57:48Good luck, baby.
00:57:49Love you.
00:57:50Love you.
00:57:51Oh, she's leaving us.

00:58:06I think.
00:58:07Never mind.
00:58:08I don't know.
00:58:09I don't know.
00:58:10I don't know.
00:58:11I don't know.
00:58:12Did I get a little bit more?
00:58:13No.
00:58:14I don't know.
