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.
00:06:20Um, you know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract
00:06:24that I was paying for my wife, right?
00:06:26I don't want to find out what I have to do.
00:06:27I mean, I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:31I'd like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:32Just name...
00:06:33Just name your price.
00:06:34Excuse me?
00:06:35Oh, come on.
00:06:36I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:41William.
00:06:42Um, you know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:50Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:52Perfect.
00:06:53Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:07:01Um, should, should we...
00:07:05There you go.
00:07:32Hey, Grandpa, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:35I can't get in.
00:07:36That's the idea.
00:07:38How 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.
00:07:52Three years.
00:08:12Finally back.
00:08:21Hello?
00:08:22Hey!
00:08:23It's me!
00:08:25Oh, um, hey, uh, what's up?
00:08:28I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:30I'm here.
00:08:32Hi.
00:08:39Hey!
00:08:41Um, so what's 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.
00:08:52So, landlord kicked me out.
00:08:55Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:56Come on.
00:09:07You live here.
00:09:10Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:13Uh...
00:09:14This 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.
00:09:36Tim, totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:48Three years since what?
00:09:49Ah!
00:09:49Oh!
00:09:58Um...
00:09:58So, the fridge is empty.
00:10:02Do you want pizza?
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Pizza works.
00:10:15Alright.
00:10:17Um...
00:10:18I'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?
00:11:01What?
00:11:02I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:11:07I swear if he heard my Ava,
00:11:10that's it.
00:11:12Him and his company are dead.
00:11:13Hear me.
00:11:15They're dead.
00:11:15That's it.
00:11:16Him and his company are dead.
00:11:18Hear me.
00:11:19They're dead.
00:11:37Hey.
00:11:38You okay?
00:11:40Um...
00:11:41It's my stomach.
00:11:43Here.
00:11:43Let's get you down.
00:11:48Hey.
00:11:48I know you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:12:13Other than my parents.
00:12:17Wow.
00:12:18Do 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.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:34I'll be right back.
00:12:51I'll be fine after you.
00:12:51I mean...
00:12:52I'll be fine after you.
00:12:52What are you doing?
00:12:53Um, you said you needed some rest. I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:57It's okay, I can walk by myself.
00:13:00No, you can't.
00:13:23Okay, nice.
00:13:53Uh, you're awake.
00:14:13Yeah, I am. I just got up.
00:14:16Um, do you have an apron?
00:14:21Oils are good. Hot.
00:14:25Of course. Um, just let me help you.
00:14:29Okay.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:37Hmm.
00:14:49Oh, God! Eva! What are you doing?
00:14:53Oh, God! Eva! What are you doing?
00:15:05Who are they? I'm her!
00:15:15They are my best friend's parents.
00:15:17They've come to see if the house needs any repairs. Right?
00:15:21And this is...
00:15:25He's, um...
00:15:27Um...
00:15:31Nice to meet you.
00:15:33I'm, uh, Eva's fiancé.
00:15:35What?!
00:15:37What?!
00:15:41Yeah, um...
00:15:43He's my fiancé...
00:15:45William.
00:15:47Ava!
00:15:49What the hell is going on?!
00:15:53Mom! Look, I don't even know where to start.
00:15:55Okay, let's just say...
00:15:57I got myself a husband.
00:15:59You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:16:01Pretty much.
00:16:03Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:16:05Oh, whatever. All right. Well, that is not the issue.
00:16:07The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:11Daniel, and that shameless bitches' relatives won't even exist.
00:16:13What?!
00:16:14No, we're not doing that.
00:16:15Why not?
00:16:16Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:19Your dad and I will tear them apart.
00:16:21I will tear them apart.
00:16:23And then I will tear them apart.
00:16:25I will tear them apart.
00:16:26I will tear them apart.
00:16:27It is...
00:16:28What?!
00:16:29People that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:31Will tear them apart?
00:16:32I will tear them apart.
00:16:34Do you get to tear them apart?
00:16:36Why would you continue to?
00:16:37Well, I got to say...
00:16:38But I...
00:16:39No, I got to say...
00:16:40tear 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, you're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:58So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh, I am...
00:17:10Okay, dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree.
00:17:32A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:37A rising star?
00:17:40I 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.
00:17:57I'm sorry.
00:18:10I know those words hurt.
00:18:12It's fine.
00:18:14You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents, it's like you see them as your own.
00:18:19Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so...
00:18:24Uh, they owe you?
00:18:26Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:27Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:34After that, they made it big, so we just kind of have like this special bond.
00:18:39Big news.
00:18:52Eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director known as Director V, winner of last year's Palm
00:18:57Door, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear, is set to make a major public appearance this week
00:19:02and reveal their next film project.
00:19:12Hey, 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, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:19This invitation must have fell.
00:19:34Glad 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.
00:19:59What are you doing here?
00:20:00Funny coincidence, uh, 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.
00:20:14I'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.
00:20:28Great.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:42Please go, Hesse.
00:20:44Please go ahead, man.
00:20:52Ah, shit.
00:20:55Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:57Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:59You lost it?
00:21:00Or you never had one?
00:21:01You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:21:02Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:21:04I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:21:06Ava?
00:21:08What 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?
00:21:30It's like wherever we are, you're just stalking us.
00:21:40You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:43What?
00:21:43You really think they're just going to let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:48But you should get over yourself.
00:21:49Daniel dropped a cool $1 million to get me in.
00:21:56He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:58Babe, it's just a million.
00:22:00Like, soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:22:04Billions.
00:22:05Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:22:07Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:22:09And your dreams are real sweet.
00:22:11All right, we and Ava, all right?
00:22:13The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:17So, leave us alone, because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:22:22I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:28Oh, shit.
00:22:30Mrs. Ra.
00:22:31You're disgusting.
00:22:33I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:39Oh, shit.
00:22:40Mrs. Ra, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:23:01I'm, um, I'm actually divorced.
00:23:03I'm not Mrs. Ra.
00:23:06You see that one?
00:23:08That's the new Mrs. Ra.
00:23:09Sorry, Ms. Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:12No worries.
00:23:13Just go let the loft in.
00:23:14No worries.
00:23:15My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:23:18Um, I've made a mistake.
00:23:20Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:23:22Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:23:26Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:31No, it's you.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:39She's not here.
00:23:49Yes, I must.
00:23:52Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to be, graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:29V, she feels so familiar, almost like Ava.
00:24:37Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:24:39I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:24:43It's been three years in her last project.
00:24:45Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:48This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:52No way.
00:24:53Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:57Yeah, 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.
00:25:07Idiots.
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.
00:25:41You're going to get your big break.
00:25:43My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:45Because of the cover.
00:25:46Oh, my God, is V okay?
00:25:50Dammit!
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, no.
00:25:58I can't let him know who I am.
00:26:00I am...
00:26:02No, hey, no, wait, wait.
00:26:04No, no.
00:26:05It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:12I have seen this bracelet before.
00:26:15But I'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.
00:26:52Oh.
00:26:52Everything set?
00:27:04Everything is gone.
00:27:06James?
00:27:08Whoa, whoa.
00:27:11Look who it is.
00:27:16Oh, babe, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:20Hell, yeah.
00:27:29What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:31Well, I'll let it be.
00:27:32The 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.
00:27:54All right, let's do this.
00:27:58As you wish.
00:28:07Honey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:28:11I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep
00:28:14so I could come.
00:28:16I hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:22I hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:24The stream is officially live.
00:28:31Let's add another player to the game
00:28:32to camp up the drama.
00:28:38Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:41This show's about to get good.
00:28:54Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Don't talk about him.
00:29:01You 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?
00:29:27You're auditioning, you're acting
00:29:29while you're naked in this room
00:29:30kissing your ex!
00:29:31Please, 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.
00:29:37Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:40Was that the script?
00:29:42You asshole, come on!
00:29:43It's an affair, okay?
00:29:45We're just an audition.
00:29:46It's for the audition.
00:29:47Yes!
00:29:48Yes!
00:29:48Yes!
00:29:48You 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!
00:29:55Ah!
00:29:55Save it, all right?
00:29:57Why don't you hear?
00:29:58Where is she?
00:30:00I mean, all your talent,
00:30:01you think she would notice you by now?
00:30:04What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:08Is it new V project?
00:30:10Shut the fuck up!
00:30:10You know that if it wasn't for me,
00:30:11your company would be underground!
00:30:14Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:16You thought you could sleep with your ex
00:30:19without me finding out.
00:30:21Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:23You cheating on your wife with me!
00:30:25You asshole!
00:30:27What the fuck!
00:30:35What the fuck!
00:30:37This 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?
00:30:56What the fuck!
00:30:58Yeah, you want again?
00:30:59Fuck!
00:30:59Fuck!
00:31:00Fuck!
00:31:01Fuck!
00:31:02Fuck!
00:31:03Fuck!
00:31:07Fuck!
00:31:07Fuck!
00:31:08Fuck!
00:31:08Fuck!
00:31:09Fuck!
00:31:09Fuck!
00:31:10Fuck!
00:31:10Fuck!
00:31:11Fuck!
00:31:11Fuck!
00:31:12Fuck!
00:31:12Fuck!
00:31:13Fuck!
00:31:13Fuck!
00:31:14Fuck!
00:31:14Fuck!
00:31:15Fuck!
00:31:15Fuck!
00:31:16Fuck!
00:31:16Fuck!
00:31:17Fuck!
00:31:17Fuck!
00:31:18Fuck!
00:31:18Jeez, this is a next-level violence art.
00:31:21Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:24Wait a second.
00:31:25This is clearly revenge.
00:31:27The livestream of Ava's ex and his mistress.
00:31:30Could it be Ava's actually dream?
00:31:37Wait!
00:31:38Stop!
00:31:39Stop!
00:31:40Stop!
00:31:41I was paid to be here.
00:31:42To play along.
00:31:43I don't think V has anything to do with this.
00:31:44What?
00:31:45It's blowing up on TikTok.
00:31:46Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:31:47Who even played?
00:31:48Who's behind this?
00:31:49Who's posting this online?
00:31:50Ava?
00:31:51You...
00:31:52You set me up!
00:31:53Back off.
00:31:54You posted this?
00:31:55You humiliated us?
00:31:56Humiliated?
00:31:57Daniel, did you ever care?
00:31:58Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:31:59Hey, wasn't this your big break into the street?
00:32:02Now the whole world knows you.
00:32:03Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:04You were gonna pay for this!
00:32:06Fuck!
00:32:07Run!
00:32:08Security!
00:32:09They're fighting!
00:32:10Daniel!
00:32:11Oh!
00:32:12Oh!
00:32:13Oh!
00:32:14Oh!
00:32:15Oh!
00:32:16Oh!
00:32:17Oh!
00:32:18Oh!
00:32:19Oh!
00:32:20Oh!
00:32:21Oh!
00:32:22Oh!
00:32:23Oh!
00:32:24Oh!
00:32:25Oh!
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...
00:32:49Bent is over.
00:32:50No!
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 looked like.
00:33:03Hey!
00:33:04Hey!
00:33:05Hey!
00:33:06Hey!
00:33:07Ava!
00:33:08Ava!
00:33:09Ava!
00:33:10Ava!
00:33:11Wait, wait, wait!
00:33:12What is up with that video online?
00:33:13What video?
00:33:14The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:15The accountant!
00:33:16The accountant!
00:33:17Why is V trying to take them down?
00:33:18Are you...
00:33:19Okay, okay, okay!
00:33:20Look...
00:33:22That's because I'm...
00:33:25Sorry.
00:33:27Yeah?
00:33:28Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:31We dug into it.
00:33:32Turns out, Miss Eve's just a regular housewife.
00:33:33Got it.
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:33:35I overreacted.
00:33:36I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you,
00:33:38and it just scared me a little bit.
00:33:40About to marry?
00:33:41We're just in a contract marriage.
00:33:42Aren't we?
00:33:43Yeah.
00:33:44Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is... is a contract.
00:33:53And I thought we were so much more.
00:33:58marriage, aren't we? Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract, and I thought we
00:34:05were so much more. You mean a lot to me, Ava, and I thought you could feel it too. I never got to
00:34:14thank you for rescuing me last night. If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital
00:34:18right now. I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had
00:34:24in my marriage. Thank you. If anyone hurts my fiancé, I'll make them regret it. Sorry to interrupt
00:34:36the sir. Sorry to interrupt the sir, but the master wants to see you. Hey, wait, who are you? I should
00:34:48persuade Ava to cooperate. There's a lot I need to explain. Okay. What?
00:35:18Oh, yeah. Um, why am I the only one allowed in? Why can't William come? Because to me, he's just
00:35:27a fool. How dare you say that about him? He owes you money, right? What if I said yes? How much? Tell
00:35:35me, and I'll pay it off for him. Pay it off? It's no smaller, man. How much? Well, one million.
00:35:41One million. That's it. What? Just a million. You don't know the future. One million is just
00:35:55the interest. The principal sum is ten million. Ten million? What did he borrow that kind of
00:36:02money for? I don't care. I just want to know if you can pay it off. I can. You're a liar. Not only are
00:36:14you broke, but you're a liar. You're a divorced woman. You've been divorced for three years. You've
00:36:22been waiting tables. What savings could you possibly have accumulated? How did you know I was
00:36:28divorced? Did you investigate me? Yes, I did. In our line of work, information is everything. No
00:36:37matter who the debtor is, where they are, or they're with, I know everything.
00:36:42Try digging a little deeper. My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company. And the divorce
00:37:07settlement, it's hefty. What? You've paid 11 million dollars for William? Why did you
00:37:18pay such a hell for that scumbag? Maybe to you, he's just a broke. When I needed him, he
00:37:22was there. Money's one thing, but William, he's worth more than all of it.
00:37:28Geez, it's as if destiny is pulling strings. How did William meet someone this perfect? Her ex
00:37:43must be a total jerk. Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments. Now.
00:37:58Ava, are you okay? I'm fine. You need to learn how to be a good man. What?
00:38:21Why did Katzenberg pull out? We've been working with them for years. I don't know. Could it
00:38:27be because of the live stream video? I mean, it has to be. This is all on Ava. I, I, I,
00:38:33I'm going to kill her. I swear. I hope you do. I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing
00:38:41an 80% funding gap. We may as well file for bankruptcy. Oh, Daniel, please, calm down. I've
00:38:48just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow. So, if I can get her
00:38:55approval. Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket a price. Katzenberg
00:39:02will be begging for shares. Oh, you genius! Sam? Miss, the casting call is tomorrow. I just heard,
00:39:18Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company. They'll be bankrupt by the month's
00:39:23end. Even so, I've got one last strike for this idiot. What do you mean? Have Cameron contact
00:39:30Sophia. Or she can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:33Sophia. I'm just too nervous. I can't get into any of the emotional scenes. Do you like baking?
00:39:54Oh, no. Oh, oh!
00:40:10Oh, no, Oh, oh!
00:40:11Oh, no, oh, oh!
00:40:31Sorry, I'm dying, Cameron.
00:40:33The producer of his movie.
00:40:35So, once I pay...
00:40:36Oh, no, oh, oh!
00:40:41Sophie's got the role, right?
00:40:46Of course.
00:40:55I'm dying, Cameron.
00:40:58The producer of his movie.
00:41:00So, once I pay, Sophie's got the role, right?
00:41:03Of course.
00:41:05This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Nothing.
00:41:21Okay?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:30Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much.
00:41:34No, you're not even tipsy, and I'm fine.
00:41:38All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:41Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:50Can I kiss you?
00:42:04You should probably take that.
00:42:10Oh.
00:42:12Why the hell?
00:42:14I thought I was just starting to feel it.
00:42:18Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:21I think my job here is done.
00:42:24Time to get some sleep and get some sleep.
00:42:25Get the showers.
00:42:25Wow, Ava.
00:42:41You're stunning.
00:42:43No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:42:48Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but God, I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:43:02Hello?
00:43:04Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:07What's wrong?
00:43:08Has something happened?
00:43:08No, 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...
00:43:22Could you be my partner?
00:43:29Um, 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. Bye.
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?
00:43:56Me?
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.
00:44:39And have a look back.
00:44:44Cut.
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.
00:44:56He 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.
00:45:03Her 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.
00:45:33What's going on here?
00:45:38It's simple.
00:45:39I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:45:41It'll help me give a better performance.
00:45:44This is V's casting.
00:45:46Come on.
00:45:46Only 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?
00:46:00What 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.
00:46:14That's what a true actor does.
00:46:23All 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.
00:46:58Now, before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:47:15It really knows how to fake it.
00:47:17Now, for the official casting results.
00:47:24It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:47:34We'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.
00:48:06This 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, so if I don't get the lead role, we'll sue him.
00:48:30So 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?
00:48:46Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:48:49Um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:48:56William, please don't get carried over it.
00:48:57No, it's true, okay?
00:48:59I'll prove it to you.
00:49:00Prove it?
00:49:01You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:49:05Do you 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?
00:49:29My 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, unless nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:52Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:57Katzenberg?
00:49:58Oh my God, he's William's creditor.
00:50:00Shit.
00:50:01Hey.
00:50:05Grandpa?
00:50:11Why is he here?
00:50:13Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:23Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:24Mr. 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?
00:50:34We're working.
00:50:36May I ask it?
00:50:37Why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:50:40We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:50:43What?
00:50:43Wait, wait, wait.
00:50:44Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:50:46Because 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?
00:51:05Hey, what the hell?
00:51:14You're chasing me down now?
00:51:16I already paid you back.
00:51:17I already paid you back.
00:51:27Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:51:29I already paid you back.
00:51:30Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:33This is my grandson.
00:51:37William Katberg.
00:51:38Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:51:42What does this mean?
00:51:43No, no, no, no.
00:51:44This can't be.
00:51:45Daniel, 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.
00:52:14Cameron?
00:52:15Wait, Ava, you, you know him?
00:52:18You two have been working together this whole time?
00:52:31Karen, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:52:35Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:52:36I am V's producer.
00:52:40Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:52:42What's in it for you?
00:52:44I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:52:47And you know what?
00:52:48I take my odors from her.
00:52:50What 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.
00:53:21V.
00:53:24And she's also the heiress of the green family's 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.
00:53:42No.
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.
00:53:51I could have been with Ava.
00:53:53I swear.
00:53:54I 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?
00:54:26You.
00:54:28Get 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.
00:54:52Yes, 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...
00:55:12Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:16Thank you, Frank.
00:55:22Thank you, Frank.
00:55:25Ava, are you always a contract?
00:55:32Now it's expired.
00:55:42You can do this.
00:55:43You can do this.
00:55:43Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:56:04What?
00:56:14My name is Rick.
00:56:15I'm sorry.
00:56:16You can do this.
00:56:18I'm sorry.
00:56:19I'm sorry.
00:56:20You can do this.
00:56:21You can do this.
00:56:22I'm sorry.
00:56:22No one.
00:56:23I'm sorry.
00:56:24I'm sorry.
00:56:30I'm sorry.
00:56:31No one.
00:56:31Ava, please don't go.
00:56:59Ava.
00:57:01Leaving us already.
00:57:05Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:57:09Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:57:14I need to clear my head, I'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, I have been fooled too many times and I think,
00:57:29I just, I don't trust any guy.
00:57:31Anymore.
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.
00:57:43Anyway, my driver.
00:57:46I'll, um, I'll see you in a bit.
00:57:49Good luck, baby.
00:57:55Love you.
00:57:55Oh, she's leaving us.
00:58:10Let's go.
00:58:11Ava Green.
00:58:13Long time.
00:58:15We'll see.
00:58:16You
00:58:46William
00:58:54William I'll admit it
00:58:56Not like I was with my ex
00:58:58Walking away from way harder
00:59:00But without me
00:59:02Can you still feel that spark?
00:59:06Hey Henry why haven't we set off yet?
00:59:08We're gonna be late
00:59:10Hey
00:59:12Sophia what the hell are you doing here?
00:59:16Let's save the chapter
00:59:18Later
00:59:42You crazy bitch.
00:59:58Do you even realize what you're doing is a crime?
01:00:01Fuck.
01:00:03Everything is your fault, Eva.
01:00:06You have a reason Daniel's in prison.
01:00:08You fucked up my entire life!
01:00:11Sophia, listen to me.
01:00:12You brought all of this on himself.
01:00:14You've just been too blinded by him.
01:00:16You just need to calm down.
01:00:18Shut up.
01:00:19Shut the fuck up!
01:00:22I'm going to take you to hell.
01:00:27Get in!
01:00:29Get in!
01:00:31Fuck!
01:00:38Damn world, huh?
01:00:40Say goodbye.
01:00:41Say goodbye.
01:00:45Get in!
01:00:45Get in!
01:00:47Get in!
01:00:49Fuck!
01:00:56Damn world, huh?
01:00:59Say goodbye.
01:01:03No!
01:01:04Damn world.
01:01:16Say goodbye.
01:01:20Give it up, Eva.
01:01:22I'm throwing everything to the ground.
01:01:24g20, that's the mother.
01:01:48Just imagine.
01:01:49I love you.
01:01:51I hate you.
01:01:53Show must go on.
01:02:23Ava?
01:02:33William!
01:02:34Hey, hang on, okay?
01:02:35I'm gonna call an ambulance.
01:02:37Please, just stay with me, okay?
01:02:39You're gonna be okay.
01:02:41Vee, Vee, come here, Vee, please.
01:02:53Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:02:55Is it true that the movie was based on real events?
01:02:58Miss Vee, over here.
01:03:02Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:03:06The question everybody's hearing, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:03:12Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:03:16And where is that special someone?
01:03:19He...
01:03:26And where is that special someone?
01:03:28He...
01:03:29Congratulations, Ava, or should I say Vee.
01:03:46It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:03:49It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:03:52So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:03:56Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:04:03You've been flirting with death.
01:04:05On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day,
01:04:10I have to ask...
01:04:15Will you marry me?
01:04:18William.
01:04:19You have to marry me.
01:04:29You have to marry me.
