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.

00:14:26Of course, um, just let me help you.
00:14:43Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:15:05Who 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, right?
00:15:22And this is...
00:15:24He's, um, um...
00:15:33Nice to meet you.
00:15:34I'm, uh, Ava's fiancee.
00:15:37What?
00:15:42Yeah, um, he's my fiancee, William.
00:15:54Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:16:06Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:16:08Okay, 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.
00:16:18Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:16:20Oh, whatever.
00:16:21Alright, 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?
00:16:34No, we're not doing that.
00:16:35Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:38Your 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?
00:16:46Tonight at the director's I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:50Trust me, you're not gonna let him get away with it.
00:16:57So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh, I am.
00:17:16Which family are you from?
00:17:20I, uh, I am.
00:17:25Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree.
00:17:32Rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:36A rising star?
00:17:42Still fall for the lies of these bottom feeder wannabes.
00:17:46Haven'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.
00:17:58I'm sorry.
00:18:09I know those words hurt.
00:18:11It's fine.
00:18:13You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents?
00:18:16It's like you see them as your own.
00:18:19Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so.
00:18:23Uh, they owe you?
00:18:25Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:27Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:33After that, they made it big, so we just kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:38Hmm.
00:18:39Hmm.
00:18:40Big news!
00:18:41Emanent and elusive Oscar-winning director known as Director V, winner of last year's
00:18:56Palme d'Or, Golden Lion and Golden Bear is set to make a major public appearance this
00:19:01week and reveal their next film project.
00:19:12Hey, I've gotta go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:19:14Oh, I'm heading out too.
00:19:15You want a ride?
00:19:16No, I'm going pretty far, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:26This invitation must have fell.
00:19:33Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:49Ava?
00:19:51Hey, what are you doing here?
00:19:53I, um, I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:57Oh.
00:19:58What are you doing here?
00:19:59Funny coincidence, uh, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:02Oh, that's great.
00:20:04For a moment, I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:20:06Oh, God, no.
00:20:07I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:20:09I could never be in the film industry.
00:20:12I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:20:14I'd love to, but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:20:18Oh, I mean, don't worry.
00:20:20You'll get there soon enough.
00:20:21You can come with me.
00:20:26Tonight then.
00:20:27Great.
00:20:33Hmm.
00:20:41Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:46Please go ahead, man.
00:20:47Shit.
00:20:48Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:49Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:50You lost it?
00:20:51Or you never had one?
00:20:52You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:20:53Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:20:54I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:20:55Ava?
00:20:56Shh.
00:20:57Where are you?
00:20:58You're stalking us?
00:20:59Take a hint.
00:21:00That's alone.
00:21:01It's like wherever we are.
00:21:02You're just there, stalking us.
00:21:03Weird.
00:21:04Why do I have two?
00:21:05Ava?
00:21:06Ava?
00:21:07Shh.
00:21:08Where are you?
00:21:09You're stalking us?
00:21:11Take a hint.
00:21:12That'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?
00:21:29Ava?
00:21:37It's like wherever we are, you're just stalking us.
00:21:40You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:42What?
00:21:43You really think they're just gonna let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:47But you should get over yourself.
00:21:51Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in.
00:21:55He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:57Babe, it's just a million.
00:22:00Like soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:22:03Billions.
00:22:04Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:22:07Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:22:09And your dreams are real sweet.
00:22:11We and Ava, alright?
00:22:13The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:17So, leave us alone.
00:22:19Because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:22:22I'm not gonna waste time with lunatics.
00:22:28Oh, shit.
00:22:30Mrs. Ra.
00:22:31You're disgusting.
00:22:32I'm not gonna waste time with lunatics.
00:22:39Oh, shit.
00:22:41Mrs. Ra.
00:22:42If you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:45I'm, um, I'm actually divorced. I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:22:54You see that one? That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:22:55Sorry, Mrs. Gray.
00:22:56Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:22:57No worries. Just go let the rocks in. Thank you.
00:22:58No worries.
00:22:59My apologies, Mrs. Roth. Um, I've made a mistake.
00:23:02Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:23:04Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:23:05Oh, babe.
00:23:06Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:07No.
00:23:08It's you. You're my superstar.
00:23:09Mm-hmm.
00:23:10You're my superstar.
00:23:11Mm-hmm.
00:23:12Mm-hmm.
00:23:13Hmm.
00:23:15Mm-hmm.
00:23:29No, it's you. You're my superstar.
00:23:46She's not here.
00:23:48Yes, I guess.
00:23:52Of course, why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:56Stupid.
00:23:59Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, V graces the stage.
00:24:21Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:29V, she feels so familiar. Almost like Ava.
00:24:36Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:24:38I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:24:42It's been three years since her last project. Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:47This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:51No way. Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:55Yeah, you're right. I've married her for three years. I know her inside and out.
00:25:04She can never compare to V.
00:25:06Idiots. Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:25:13It's too much of a coincidence. I need to check this out.
00:25:16Oh my god, V. Baby, it's V walking towards me.
00:25:24Is she gonna choose me?
00:25:25Of course. I've always said you're my diamond.
00:25:28You're gonna get your big break. My investment's gonna pay off.
00:25:32Be careful, be careful.
00:25:41You're gonna get your big break. My investment's gonna pay off.
00:25:44Be careful, be careful.
00:25:46Oh my god, is V okay?
00:25:49Dammit!
00:25:50Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:52This is gonna ruin our chances.
00:25:55Are you okay?
00:25:56William?
00:25:57No, no, no, no, no. I can't let him know who I am.
00:25:59I am...
00:26:01No, hey, no, wait, wait.
00:26:03No, no.
00:26:04It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
00:26:11I've seen this bracelet before.
00:26:16But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:26:22Ava?
00:26:23Could V be Ava?
00:26:35Excuse me, Mrs. Ra?
00:26:37That's me. Who are you?
00:26:39Director V wants you to audition as a male actor in room 301.
00:26:45Oh my god, V wants me to audition. This is gonna be my big break.
00:26:50Mommy?
00:26:51Mom, Mommy!
00:27:02Everything's done?
00:27:04Everything is gone.
00:27:12James?
00:27:13Whoa, whoa, look who it is!
00:27:15A fave, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:19Hell yeah.
00:27:20Hell yeah.
00:27:28What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:30Well...
00:27:31The audition for Director V starts now. The scene is called The Affair. You must play a couple having a secret meeting while each has their own family. Cameras are set up. Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:54All right, let's do this.
00:27:56As you wish.
00:27:57Honey, I'm so sorry I'm late. I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep so I can't. Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:16Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:22Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:29This dream is officially live.
00:28:30Let's add another play to the game to camp up the drama.
00:28:38Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:40This show's about to get good.
00:28:58Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Don't talk about him.
00:29:07You bitch!
00:29:10Daniel!
00:29:11No, no, it's not your husband!
00:29:12No, Daniel, stop!
00:29:13Shut the hell up!
00:29:14It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:15It's just an audition!
00:29:16You expect me to believe that you're auditioning, you're acting while you're naked in this room kissing your ex!
00:29:31Please, it's just for V, okay? She asked me to audition. James, he's an actor too. He's helping with the audition, please!
00:29:37Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:39It was in the script, you asshole, come on!
00:29:42It's an affair, okay?
00:29:44We're just, I'm an audition, it's for the audition!
00:29:46You really think you're gonna intimidate me?
00:29:51I'm doing this for your company, I'm doing this for V!
00:29:54Come on!
00:29:55Save it, alright?
00:29:56Why don't you hear? Where is she?
00:29:59I 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?
00:30:09Fuck up! You know that if it wasn't for me, you're coming for me underground!
00:30:13Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:16You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:30:20Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:22You cheating on your wife with me, you asshole!
00:30:26What the fuck?
00:30:28This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:48This feels way too real.
00:30:51Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:53And his new girlfriend?
00:30:55What the fuck?
00:30:57Yeah, you won again?
00:31:18Geez, this is a next level of violence, Art.
00:31:20Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:23Wait a second, this is clearly revenge.
00:31:26The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress?
00:31:29Could it be?
00:31:30Ava's actually V.
00:31:31Wait! Stop! Stop!
00:31:32I was paid to be here!
00:31:33To play along!
00:31:34I don't think V has anything to do with this!
00:31:35What?!
00:31:36It's blowing up on TikTok!
00:31:37Well, that's a nice surprise!
00:31:38Who even played?
00:31:39Who's behind this?
00:31:40Who's posting this online?
00:31:41Ava?
00:31:42You...
00:31:43You...
00:31:44You...
00:31:45You...
00:31:46You...
00:31:47You...
00:31:48You set me up!
00:31:49Hey, back off!
00:31:50You...
00:31:51You posted this?
00:31:52You humiliated us?
00:31:53Humiliated?
00:31:54Humiliated?
00:31:55Humiliated?
00:31:56Daniel, did you ever care?
00:31:57Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:31:58Hey, wasn't this your big break into the street?
00:31:59Now the whole world knows you.
00:32:00Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:01You were gonna pay for this!
00:32:02Fuck!
00:32:03Run!
00:32:04Security!
00:32:05They're fighting!
00:32:06Daniel!
00:32:07Whoa!
00:32:08Whoa!
00:32:09Whoa!
00:32:10Whoa!
00:32:11Whoa!
00:32:12Whoa!
00:32:13Whoa!
00:32:14Whoa!
00:32:15Whoa!
00:32:16Whoa!
00:32:17Whoa!
00:32:18Whoa!
00:32:19Whoa!
00:32:20Whoa!
00:32:21Whoa!
00:32:22Whoa!
00:32:23Whoa!
00:32:24Whoa!
00:32:25Whoa!
00:32:35Three years of marriage and I've never felt so... protected.
00:32:44Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if...
00:32:49Event is over.
00:32:50No!
00:32:51Please stay tuned for more information.
00:32:54Ticket money down the drain!
00:32:55That was gonna be my big break!
00:32:57I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:33:00I just wanna see what amazing director look like.
00:33:03Hey!
00:33:04Hey!
00:33:05Hey!
00:33:06Ava!
00:33:07Ava!
00:33:08Ava!
00:33:09Ava!
00:33:10Wait!
00:33:11Wait!
00:33:12Wait!
00:33:13What is up with that video online?
00:33:14What video?
00:33:15The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:16Wait!
00:33:17Wait!
00:33:18Wait!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:20Wait!
00:33:21Wait!
00:33:22Wait!
00:33:23Wait!
00:33:24Wait!
00:33:25I'm sorry!
00:33:26Yeah?
00:33:27Wait!
00:33:28Yeah?
00:33:29Sir!
00:33:30We've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:34We dug into it.
00:33:35Turns out, Miss Eve's just a regular housewife.
00:33:36Got it.
00:33:37I'm sorry.
00:33:38I overreacted.
00:33:39I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:33:40And it just scared me a little bit.
00:33:41About to marry?
00:33:42We're just a contract marriage.
00:33:43Just a contract, aren't we?
00:33:44Yeah, I mean...
00:33:45You could say all marriage is... is a contract.
00:33:47And I thought we were so much more.
00:33:48You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:33:50And I thought you could feel it too.
00:33:51What do you mean?
00:33:52That's what I mean.
00:33:53Yes.
00:33:54You're not here to say...
00:33:55I'm sorry.
00:33:56I overreacted.
00:33:57I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:33:59And it just scared me a little bit.
00:34:00About to marry?
00:34:01We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:34:02Yeah, I mean.
00:34:03But you could say, all marriage is a contract.
00:34:04And I thought we were so much more.
00:34:06You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:34:07And I thought you could feel it too.
00:34:12I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:34:15If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:34:18I 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 fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:34Sorry to interrupt, sir.
00:34:42But the Master wants to see you.
00:34:45Hey, wait, who are you?
00:34:47I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:50My gran...
00:34:53There's a lot I need to explain.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:12Now.
00:35:15What?
00:35:19Oh.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:22Um...
00:35:23Why am I the only one allowed in? Why 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?
00:35:33How much? Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:35:35Pay it off? It's no smaller man.
00:35:37How much?
00:35:38Well, one million.
00:35:42That's it.
00:35:43What?
00:35:44Just a million.
00:35:45You don't know the future.
00:35:46One million is just the interest.
00:35:47The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:48Ten million?
00:35:49What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:35:50I don't care.
00:35:51I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:35:52I can.
00:35:53You're a liar.
00:35:54You're a liar.
00:35:55Not only are you broke, but you're a liar.
00:35:57You're a divorced woman.
00:35:58You're a divorced woman.
00:35:59You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:00You've been waiting tables.
00:36:01What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:02How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:03Did you investigate me?
00:36:04Yes, I did.
00:36:05In our line of work.
00:36:06In our line of work.
00:36:07In for many years.
00:36:08In for many years.
00:36:09How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:10Did you investigate me?
00:36:11Yes, I did.
00:36:12In our line of work information is everything.
00:36:20No matter who the debtor is, where they are or they're with.
00:36:26I know everything.
00:36:27How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:29Did you investigate me?
00:36:31No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or whether they are with, I know everything.
00:36:42Did you investigate me?
00:36:51Yes, I did.
00:36:52In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:55No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:37:01Try digging a little deeper.
00:37:03My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:37:07And the divorce settlement?
00:37:09It's hefty.
00:37:12What? You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:37:17Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:20Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:21When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:23Money is one thing, but William, he's worth more than all of it.
00:37:33Jeez, 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.
00:37:53Ava, are you okay?
00:38:06I'm fine.
00:38:08You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:10What?
00:38:21Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:24We've been working with him for years.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:26Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:28I mean, it has to be.
00:38:30This is all on Ava.
00:38:32I, I, I, I'm going to kill her.
00:38:35I swear.
00:38:36I hope you do.
00:38:38I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:38:43We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:38:45Oh, Daniel, please, calm down.
00:38:47I've just gotten word that Fee's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:38:52So, if I can get her approval.
00:38:57Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket a price.
00:39:02Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:05Oh, you genius!
00:39:14Sam?
00:39:14Miss, the casting call is tomorrow.
00:39:17I just heard Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:39:21They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:39:23Even so, I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:27What do you mean?
00:39:29Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:39:31She can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:35I'm just too nervous.
00:39:55I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:39:58Do you like baking?
00:40:05Oh, no.
00:40:12Oh, oh.
00:40:31Sorry, I'm Cameron.
00:40:32The producer of Ease Movie.
00:40:35So, 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 Ease Movie.
00:41:00So, once I pay, Sophia's got the role, right?
00:41:05Of course.
00:41:16This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Uh, nothing.
00:41:21Kate?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:28Okay, I think we might have had, like, a little bit too much.
00:41:34No, you're not even tipsy.
00:41:36And I'm, I'm fine.
00:41:38All right, then maybe we should drink some more, then.
00:41:40Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:41Oh, yeah.
00:41:50Can I kiss you?
00:41:51You should probably take that.
00:42:10Oh.
00:42:12Why the hell?
00:42:14How many times I was just trying to feel it?
00:42:17Hmm.
00:42:17Well, 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.
00:42:39Wow.
00:42:40Ava?
00:42:41You're stunning.
00:42:43No one would believe that Director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the
00:42:48same person.
00:42:49You know I never cared for the public perception, but, God, I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's
00:42:55faces when they find out the truth.
00:43:02Hello?
00:43:04Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:07What's wrong?
00:43:08Has something happened?
00:43:08No, I'm, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:14Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:18Uh, um, uh.
00:43:27Could you be my partner?
00:43:30Um, all right, um, yeah, no, I mean, of course, I'll go with you.
00:43:35Ava, thank you.
00:43:36I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:40Yeah, okay.
00:43:41Bye.
00:43:44Ava?
00:43:45Where are you going?
00:43:47If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:49Who will choose the actors?
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:54You'll hand.
00:43:55Me?
00:43:56What are they doing here?
00:44:13First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:44:17All right, let's get this casting underway.
00:44:20I can't love you anymore.
00:44:33Please, please, let me go.
00:44:37Let us bury our love in the past.
00:44:42And 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.
00:45:09Makes me want to puke.
00:45:12Next.
00:45:14That's our turn.
00:45:15Hey.
00:45:17You got this.
00:45:20Whoa.
00:45:22Sorry.
00:45:23This woman is not an actress.
00:45:25She has no right to audition.
00:45:36What'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.
00:45:45Come on.
00:45:46Only pros allowed.
00:45:48You're just going to let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:45:51Once this leaks, V's reputation will be ruined.
00:45:54And you'll be fired.
00:45:55Sophia, you are not V.
00:45:57How could you know what she cares about?
00:45:58What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:46:01What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:46:03Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:46:07No, you can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:46:13That's what a true actor does.
00:46:24All right.
00:46:25You're up.
00:46:26You know, you say you love me, but I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:46:35Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:46:38Who that I can't?
00:46:39I can see your strength, your kindness, and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:46:46I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:46:50I know we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I see you better than
00:46:54I see myself.
00:46:56And I love you.
00:46:58Before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:47:15It's really nice how to fake it.
00:47:18Now for the official casting results.
00:47:24It's a good thing we've got a backup.
00:47:28Oh, I think we've got a backup plan.
00:47:36Who cares about acting?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38I mean, acting is nothing, really.
00:47:41Money is how you get the role.
00:47:45Eto'o.
00:47:47Effie.
00:47:48Kevin.
00:47:50William.
00:47:51Oh my God, what?
00:47:53That's incredible.
00:47:53William, 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 Lisbon chair broke where...
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, 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.
00:48:54William, please don't get carried over here.
00:48:57No, it's true, okay?
00:48:59I'll prove it to you.
00:49:00Prove it?
00:49:01You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:49:05You know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie.
00:49:12Wait a minute.
00:49:14Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:49:17Oh, my God.
00:49:18Oh, my God.
00:49:19Oh, my God.
00:49:20Oh, my God.
00:49:21Oh, my God.
00:49:22Oh, my God.
00:49:23Oh, my God.
00:49:24My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:49:35Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:49:38A washed-up actor trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:49:43The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:49:46Got connections everywhere, and this nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:50Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:57Katzenberg?
00:49:58Oh, my God.
00:49:59He's William's creditor.
00:50:00Shit.
00:50:01Oh.
00:50:02Hey.
00:50:02Hey.
00:50:10Grandpa?
00:50:11Why is he here?
00:50:13Oh, no.
00:50:13This is bad.
00:50:14Oh, no.
00:50:24This 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?
00:50:33Uh, we're working.
00:50:36May I ask it?
00:50:37Why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:50:40We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:50:43What?
00:50:44Wait, wait, wait.
00:50:44Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:50:47Because somebody here is using the Katzenberg name.
00:50:51Oh, now you have my attention.
00:50:53And I'm very curious.
00:50:55Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:50:58Him.
00:50:58Sir?
00:51:13Hey, what the hell?
00:51:14You're chasing me down now?
00:51:16I already paid you back.
00:51:25I already paid you back.
00:51:27Ava, what do you mean you've paid back?
00:51:28My grandfather.
00:51:29I already paid you back.
00:51:30Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:33This is my grandson.
00:51:37William Katberg.
00:51:38Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:51:42What does this mean?
00:51:43Are you strong?
00:51:44No, 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.
00:51:52So this is how it is.
00:51:55Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies to launder their dirty money.
00:52:00Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:52:02Slandering 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.
00:52:09Cameron.
00:52:13Cameron?
00:52:16Wait, Ava, 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.
00:52:38Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:52:42What's in it for you?
00:52:44I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:52:47And you know what?
00:52:48I take my odors from her.
00:52:51What are you talking about?
00:52:53Honestly, like, who even is V?
00:52:56I mean, I don't know her.
00:52:58I've got no beef with her.
00:53:00So why would she send you to ruin me?
00:53:03All right, so you would like me to, uh, unlift it all and, uh, reveal who V is today.
00:53:11Well, Ava, is that okay?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14In the flesh.
00:53:16That's correct.
00:53:17This is the mysterious, the fabulous, the fearless, V.
00:53:24And she's also the heiress of the Green Family Fortune.
00:53:28Oh, it's V.
00:53:29Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:53:31Again, famous director and heiress.
00:53:34V's got the perfect life.
00:53:42No.
00:53:43No, no, she can't be.
00:53:44That's impossible.
00:53:45You idiot.
00:53:47You stupid idiot.
00:53:50I tried.
00:53:51You and I could have been with Ava.
00:53:53I swear, I swear I am going to kill you.
00:53:56You want to try?
00:53:56Are you crazy?
00:53:58I'm going to kill you.
00:53:59FBI, everyone free.
00:54:01What are you doing here?
00:54:11Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:54:13From here on out, you have the right to remain silent.
00:54:14Anything you say will be used against you in court.
00:54:19What are you talking about?
00:54:21I...
00:54:21Who told you?
00:54:23Who do you think?
00:54:24Get them out of here.
00:54:29Go of me!
00:54:30Let go!
00:54:31Fuck you!
00:54:33Okay?
00:54:41Fuck you!
00:54:42Get off me!
00:54:43Get off!
00:54:44Ava, so you're not only V, but the Green Family Fortune heiress.
00:54:48I mean, I knew something was off.
00:54:53Yes, okay, I haven't been completely honest with you, but you haven't been very truthful
00:54:57to me either, right?
00:55:01I've wanted to be honest, but do you know how lies can talk on top of each other?
00:55:06Look, it's all over now.
00:55:07I'm sorry, but I can't move past this.
00:55:09If we can't even be honest with each other, then maybe...
00:55:11Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:21Thank you, Frank.
00:55:30Always a contract.
00:55:34Now it's expired.
00:55:41You can do this.
00:56:01Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:56:04No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:34Ava.
00:56:40Ava.
00:56:42Please don't go.
00:57:00Ava.
00:57:02Leaving us already?
00:57:04Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:57:09Mom, I've just...
00:57:10I've been through too much lately, and I'm exhausted.
00:57:13I need to...
00:57:15clear my head.
00:57:16I'm exhausted.
00:57:18Don'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, no.
00:57:27I have been fooled too many times, and I think...
00:57:29I just...
00:57:30I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:57:32If you end up with a woman, that's okay, too.
00:57:35As long as you're happy.
00:57:37Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:57:41A guy with eight-pack abs...
00:57:42I'm so blessed.
00:57:45Anyway, my driver...
00:57:47I'll, um...
00:57:48I'll see you in a bit.
00:57:49Oh, jeez.
00:57:50Oh, jeez.
00:57:53Good luck, baby.
00:57:55Love you.
00:58:02Oh, she's leaving us.
00:58:03Oh, she's leaving us.
00:58:10Let's go.
00:58:12Ava Green.

00:58:15No sleep.
00:58:33No sleep.
00:58:46Can you kiss me once more?
00:58:50William.
00:58:55William, I'll admit it.
00:58:56Not like I was with my ex.
00:58:58Walking away from way harder, but without me...
00:59:01Can you still feel that spark?
00:59:06Hey, Henry, why haven't we set off yet?

01:02:45Vee, Vee, come here, Vee, please.
01:02:51Just here, Vee, Vee.
01:02:53Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:02:55Is it true that the movie was based on reality events?
01:02:57Miss Vee, over here.
01:03:01Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:03:05The question everybody's hearing, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:03:11Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person,
01:03:14tonight.
01:03:16And where is that special someone?
01:03:18He...
01:03:26And where is that special someone?
01:03:28He...
01:03:42Congratulations, Ava.
01:03:44Or should I say Vee?
01:03:46It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:03:48It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:03:52So I thought I'd...
01:03:54surprise you in a different way.
01:03:56Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:04:02You've been flirting with death.
01:04:04On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:04:10Will you marry me?
01:04:12William...
01:04:16You have to marry me.
01:04:18William...
01:04:28You have to marry me.
01:04:30You have to marry me.
01:04:31Well, what?
01:04:32I have to marry you.
01:04:33I have to marry me.
01:04:34You have to marry me.
01:04:36Let's marry me.
01:04:38You have to marry me.
01:04:40I'd marry me.
01:04:42I'd marry my wife.
01:04:43You're a jerk.
01:04:44It's a jerk.
01:04:45I'd marry me.
01:04:46I would marry you.
