Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I want us to be together.
00:00:02You know, I want to do a role that, you know, means something to people.
00:00:06I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
00:00:15Mitch!
00:00:16I mean, fuck, I just don't test my patience, all right?
00:00:18Hey, I'm sorry.
00:00:23Claire, wait.
00:00:25I'm having a little baby girl.
00:00:27Can I call her, Claire?
00:00:29Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:00:31Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're going to keep that baby.
00:00:33You can't force Mitch to have a baby with you, okay?
00:00:37Mitch, I love you.
00:00:39Mitch!
00:00:42Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:00:44God, that guy's such a leech.
00:00:47Maybe Mitch wants something to do with it.
00:00:50No!
00:00:51Mitch would never do that to me.
00:00:53Tell me that this is a lie.
00:00:54I swear if that's true, I will go to the press and I'll tell them everything.
00:00:59What?
00:00:59Do I even threaten him?
00:01:01She threatened Mitch.
00:01:04Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:01:06You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:01:09You think that I ever loved you?
00:01:12You're nothing to me.
00:01:14You're worthless.
00:01:15You're shit.
00:01:15I want to shit.
00:01:16I've been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years and I have the perfect plan.
00:01:34Hey, babe.
00:01:39Hey.
00:01:40How you doing?
00:01:41How's your day?
00:01:42Oh, good.
00:01:44I handed you that audition for that role I told you about.
00:01:47Yeah?
00:01:47Yeah.
00:01:48I hope I book it.
00:01:49Well, if you did a good job, you book it.
00:01:51That's how it works.
00:01:52I know.
00:01:53I just haven't booked anything for a while and, you know, it's been really, really difficult
00:01:57lately to, you know, even get a call back.
00:02:01Well, I did offer you a few roles but you didn't want to.
00:02:05Yeah, but I don't want to do those type of roles, babe.
00:02:07You know, like, I want to do a role where I'm telling a story and, you know, I'm not
00:02:12just showing my body.
00:02:14It's a shame, though, because it's a hell of a body.
00:02:19Yeah, but I don't want to flirt or, you know, use my sexuality to get to the top.
00:02:25I want them to cast me because of my acting skills.
00:02:28Yeah, but that's not how show biz works, baby.
00:02:30Pretty good little thing like you.
00:02:32Well, you know, you've got to sweet-talk your way to the top.
00:02:36Those acting skills alone are not going to be enough.
00:02:38No, I'm not going to flirt my way to the top.
00:02:42Plus, I'm committed to you.
00:02:45So why can't you put me in your movies?
00:02:47Because the kind of movies that I'm producing, you are not right for.
00:02:53Hmm.
00:02:55We're talking about this.
00:02:56I know.
00:02:57And I just feel like there's nothing going right in my life right now.
00:03:05Anyway, can I get you something?
00:03:09Yeah.
00:03:10And I'm sure it's beautiful.
00:03:13But do you know what I really want, Mitch?
00:03:17What?
00:03:17I don't want us to hide our relationship anymore, okay?
00:03:21I, you know, these directors, these producers, they might actually take me seriously if I know I'm with you.
00:03:26Bullshit.
00:03:27It would make it even worse, if anything.
00:03:29You'd have directors and producers that wouldn't even want to give you an audition because we're together.
00:03:33You don't understand how this industry works like I do.
00:03:37Okay.
00:03:38What if I gave up acting?
00:03:40Well...
00:03:41I would give up acting for you.
00:03:44Yeah, well, it's not really the right time for that.
00:03:46I mean, the way my career is and where I'm at, I can't pursue an official relationship.
00:03:51And to be honest, I can't be seen with a struggling actress.
00:03:54A struggling actress?
00:03:55Okay, so that's why you don't want to be with me.
00:03:58Great.
00:03:58Now I know.
00:04:00Look, I don't know, all right?
00:04:01But you know what I'm saying.
00:04:03It's just it's not the right time.
00:04:05I mean, fuck, just don't test my patience, all right?
00:04:08Right, all right.
00:04:09I'm sorry.
00:04:09Hey, I'm sorry.
00:04:11All right.
00:04:12Hey, I won't bring it up again.
00:04:15No, like I said, I got you something.
00:04:19Hey, and it's beautiful.
00:04:23Isn't it?
00:04:26There was one more thing I wanted to talk to you about later.
00:04:32What?
00:04:33You know what?
00:04:34Don't worry about it, okay?
00:04:36Just don't worry.
00:04:37Hey.
00:04:37What is wrong with you today?
00:04:39You're going to have to make it up to me, aren't you?
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43We're going to annoy a girl today.
00:04:45Huh?
00:04:50Oh.
00:04:51I'm sorry.
00:04:52Can I help you?
00:04:53Sorry.
00:04:54I'm actually a really big fan of Al Gore.
00:04:57Seriously?
00:04:58What?
00:04:58That's...
00:04:59Yeah, all this gold.
00:05:01Hi.
00:05:02Do you want to have a seat?
00:05:05I'd love to.
00:05:06Hi.
00:05:06Hi.
00:05:06I'm Alex.
00:05:08Claire.
00:05:08Lovely to meet you.
00:05:09Nice to meet you.
00:05:11Just sorry.
00:05:13It's okay.
00:05:14I'm sorry about that.
00:05:14Um, so you're a fan of Gore's work.
00:05:18Yeah.
00:05:18I mean, I love all the classics and, you know, come to the library and get to chill out and
00:05:24just escape the world.
00:05:26Yeah.
00:05:27Exactly.
00:05:28I'm, you know, I'm actually writing a screenplay on this book.
00:05:31Oh, you're a screenplay writer.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Wow.
00:05:34Well, that's amazing.
00:05:34Yeah.
00:05:35I write screenplays for a living.
00:05:36Oh, very cool.
00:05:37Screenplay writer.
00:05:38That's...
00:05:38Very cool.
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:41Well, I actually work as an actress.
00:05:44Really?
00:05:44Yeah.
00:05:45Wow.
00:05:45Okay.
00:05:46Well, how's that going?
00:05:47Well, it's good, but, um, it's, it's been a bit hard to book work lately.
00:05:52Tell me about it.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54You feel me?
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:56No, I'm, uh, I'm struggling as well, but I have a feeling that things are going to come
00:06:01around, you know?
00:06:02Yeah, definitely.
00:06:04I mean, I really hope they do.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11What's, what's wrong?
00:06:14Everything all right?
00:06:15Yeah.
00:06:16Like, I don't mean to bring up anything negative, but.
00:06:19Sounds good.
00:06:19Um, you know, just, just work and then, you know, a problem with our, my relationship
00:06:26that hasn't been going very smooth lately.
00:06:28It's just, that is a lot on my mind.
00:06:32Do you want to talk about it?
00:06:34No.
00:06:35There's not much to say.
00:06:37I mean, a relationship with a man that, um, doesn't want to be in public with me.
00:06:43A relationship has to say secret.
00:06:46Why does it have to be secret?
00:06:47Oh, because of who he is, it'll damage his reputation.
00:06:52Right.
00:06:52He's a, um, he's a producer as well.
00:06:56Who?
00:06:57Um, do you know Mitch Sterling?
00:06:59You're kidding.
00:07:02It's just, well, I mean, no, I've met the guy a couple of times, but yeah, I can tell you
00:07:08I'm not friends with him in any way.
00:07:10No, and to make it worse, I'm, I'm actually pregnant.
00:07:18I'm having a little baby girl.
00:07:21Wow.
00:07:22Well, there's a silver lining there, I guess.
00:07:27Does he know about it?
00:07:29I haven't told him yet.
00:07:32I'll be honest with you, I'm actually really scared to tell him, but.
00:07:36Why?
00:07:38I don't know.
00:07:39I just, I don't think he's going to be very accepting, but I really hope that he's happy
00:07:46and is as excited as I am, because I just, you know, I really can't wait to meet her.
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:52Well, that's sweet.
00:07:53And yeah, I'm sure he'll come around.
00:07:57He probably just needs time.
00:07:59Yeah, no, I know.
00:08:02You know what?
00:08:03I love how positive you are.
00:08:05You're beautiful, Alex.
00:08:07Well, thank you.
00:08:08You're not so bad yourself.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:12I really needed your company today.
00:08:14This has been lovely.
00:08:16I know we just met, but something tells me we would make really good friends.
00:08:22I think so, too.
00:08:23So, I don't know if you're supposed to cheers coffee, but.
00:08:26Do it.
00:08:27Who cares?
00:08:28Cheers to that.
00:08:31So, I mean, you like books.
00:08:34Yeah, I love books.
00:08:36Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved to read and, you know, escape to this other
00:08:41place other than the real world.
00:08:43After you?
00:08:44Oh, such a gentleman.
00:08:48Wow.
00:08:49This place is beautiful.
00:08:51How did you find it?
00:08:52This place opened up about, like, two years ago.
00:08:55Yeah.
00:08:55And I was the first customer.
00:08:57I mean, I've been recommending it to people ever since.
00:08:59I can see.
00:09:00Everyone knows you.
00:09:02Yeah.
00:09:02Well, I don't know.
00:09:04Books make me feel at home.
00:09:08And like I said, I've been recommending it to everyone.
00:09:10I mean, they probably came in because of me.
00:09:12Probably.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:13No, I know what you mean.
00:09:16I love the smell of books and the texture.
00:09:24No, I just, I wish that Mitch loved books like I do.
00:09:29Well, come on.
00:09:31Just wait until you see how beautiful the old editions are, okay?
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36Any rereads you wanted to pick up?
00:09:37I'll challenge you to one.
00:09:39Okay.
00:09:41I've had some Chekhov on my mind lately.
00:09:44Excellent choice, my lady.
00:09:47I'll be right there.
00:09:48Just, oh, there you go.
00:09:50Take a look at that.
00:09:51I bet you're going to have so much to talk about when we next see each other.
00:09:59Alex, I'm sorry to bring it up again, but, you know,
00:10:05I really wish that Mitch would do this type of thing with me.
00:10:10You know, he never takes me anywhere.
00:10:11He's so adamant on our relationship being a secret.
00:10:16Well, I mean, he should at least take you to low-profile places like this.
00:10:22Have you ever asked him to?
00:10:24Like a million times.
00:10:26Never listens.
00:10:28I mean, I think most of our time together is, you know,
00:10:31more passionate, more rushed.
00:10:35Sounds fun.
00:10:39Sorry, Alex, I have to take this, okay?
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:51Mitch, hey.
00:11:01No, no.
00:11:03No, I meant to tell you in person.
00:11:05I just, I got really excited and you were busy on set and...
00:11:10Wait, what do you mean?
00:11:17Mitch, go on.
00:11:20Mitch, I love you.
00:11:27Oh, come on.
00:11:28Come on.
00:11:28I'm so excited.
00:11:29Why don't you come down at a really, really nice bookstore
00:11:32and it would be really lovely for us to speak in person?
00:11:39Bitch, I have loved you.
00:11:41I have stuck by you.
00:11:42I have been there for you.
00:11:44Why don't you say these things?
00:11:52Come on, Mitch.
00:11:53Come on, please.
00:11:54I, I know.
00:11:56I am not going to get rid of the baby.
00:11:59No.
00:12:00I have, I have loved you.
00:12:01Do you remember the first time that we met?
00:12:07Why are you saying this?
00:12:08No, no, no.
00:12:18Mitch, you just need to come and see me in person, please.
00:12:22We can have a chat, okay?
00:12:24We can work things out.
00:12:25It's, it's not going to ruin your reputation.
00:12:27This, this baby.
00:12:29This baby's going to be beautiful and it's going to be our baby.
00:12:36It's going to be our baby, Mitch.
00:12:37Come on.
00:12:38Mitch, don't, don't say that.
00:12:44Don't cut me off.
00:12:47Don't, don't cut me off.
00:12:50Mitch.
00:12:52Mitch.
00:12:53No, please.
00:12:55Please, please, please.
00:12:56Can we just have.
00:13:04Hey, Claire, are you just filming this?
00:13:06Oh, Jesus.
00:13:07Hey.
00:13:07Hey.
00:13:08Hey, are you okay?
00:13:10Come here.
00:13:11Come here.
00:13:14Okay.
00:13:16Just calm down, right?
00:13:18Just, let's take a moment, yeah?
00:13:20Just breathe.
00:13:21Okay?
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:22And?
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:27Claire, what happened?
00:13:28I don't believe in Alex.
00:13:31I don't believe in Alex.
00:13:32What?
00:13:34He just, I've been with this man for years.
00:13:39I've stuck by him.
00:13:41I've loved him.
00:13:42I've been with him through everything.
00:13:45And he just, he just, he just.
00:13:49What did he say?
00:14:03Claire, what did he say?
00:14:07He said that he wants to abort the baby.
00:14:11He wants me to get rid of it.
00:14:13And it's, it's me.
00:14:18Well, my baby.
00:14:19Jesus.
00:14:20That's me.
00:14:22Well, no, I'm sure he's just shocked.
00:14:25Okay?
00:14:26It's, it's a big thing.
00:14:27I mean, he'll come around.
00:14:29I hope so, Alex, because I don't know what to do.
00:14:36I, I, I, I'm, I'm a, I'm a single mom.
00:14:40I, I don't have any, barely any acting work.
00:14:43I don't, I don't, I don't know how I'm going to do this.
00:14:45You'll figure it out.
00:14:47Yeah?
00:14:47You'll figure it out.
00:14:48Everything's going to be okay.
00:14:50It's going to be fine.
00:14:51I'm so, you know, I, I, I don't want to raise this baby, you know,
00:14:57with, without a, without a father, with, you know,
00:15:00I, I want him to be a part of this baby's life, Alex.
00:15:03I, I want this child to grow up with both of us.
00:15:06But you, you can't force Nash to have a baby with you, okay?
00:15:11You're going to have to give him time to accept this crazy situation.
00:15:17Yeah?
00:15:18I know, but I just thought that we'd have a future together.
00:15:22I know.
00:15:23I love him, Alex.
00:15:25Like, I love him.
00:15:27I really, I thought that, you know, he, he would, he would pick me over his job.
00:15:35Apparently not.
00:15:37Well, nothing is stopping you from raising this baby on your own, okay?
00:15:43And you know what?
00:15:44It sounds to me like you've made up your mind about who you want to have.
00:15:48Yeah?
00:15:50Nothing is okay with you.
00:15:52Exactly.
00:15:54You've, you've got the fundamental thing figured out.
00:15:56Everything else, I think.
00:15:59I'm scared for him.
00:16:01I'm really scared.
00:16:02I'm scared.
00:16:06You know, I, I thought we'd have this future together and, you know, he would, he said that
00:16:18apparently it would ruin his reputation, that having a baby, that he, he's not ready to
00:16:24have kids yet.
00:16:25Did he ever give you a reason for why he's saying all of this?
00:16:30Because he's a big movie director and it's going to ruin everything for him and he can't
00:16:34have kids and then too much of a, a hustle.
00:16:36He said that about our baby.
00:16:43Just stay here.
00:16:46I'll be back.
00:16:47Just, hey, give me a moment.
00:16:50Okay.
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:51You're okay.
00:16:52You were such a good friend.
00:16:54Just, be back.
00:16:56Just give me a minute.
00:16:57There's this really amazing bakery just around the corner.
00:17:15I was planning to take you there after this, but I guess I had to bring the bakery to you.
00:17:23I really knew that it was today.
00:17:25I'm really sorry, Alex.
00:17:27I know this was supposed to be a happy hour to you, right?
00:17:30I don't worry about it.
00:17:31It's, it's life.
00:17:33And things happen to the best of us.
00:17:36You're very kind.
00:17:40Yeah.
00:17:42This was supposed to be a fun little hour.
00:17:46No, it was.
00:17:48Alex, I have had so much fun with you today.
00:17:52No, I have felt so much joy until this went down.
00:17:56No, I really hadn't felt that much joy in a long time.
00:18:00Come on.
00:18:01I'm sure you're used to Mitch giving you all these amazing things.
00:18:05No, but I enjoy my time with Mitch and he does a lot for me, but I enjoy the simple things in life too.
00:18:14You know, Mitch doesn't really understand that.
00:18:22You know what?
00:18:24My birthday is actually soon and I would love if he would do my birthday tradition with me.
00:18:32A special birthday tradition, eh?
00:18:35Oh, sounds intriguing.
00:18:37Will you come?
00:18:38I might have to.
00:18:42You're the best.
00:18:44Come in.
00:18:47Happy birthday, Chloe.
00:18:48Aw, thank you.
00:18:51I'm so glad you came.
00:18:53Of course I came.
00:18:54I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:18:55It's your special day.
00:18:57Well, you know, we haven't known each other that long, so I wasn't sure.
00:19:01Look, I don't think that matters, all right?
00:19:03Some people you just click with.
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:10Wow.
00:19:11This is a really nice place.
00:19:15Mitch pays for it.
00:19:18He practically pays for everything, so.
00:19:22You know, he told me that I have to keep on the down low about the pregnancy.
00:19:27I can't breathe a word to anyone and to watch out for the press, so I'm kind of stuck here.
00:19:34Hmm.
00:19:36I'm sorry.
00:19:38We shouldn't talk about.
00:19:40You know what?
00:19:42Let's just celebrate your birthday, and you can treat me to the special tradition that you have planned.
00:19:48Oh, yes.
00:19:49I'm going to blow your mind.
00:19:51Oh, okay.
00:19:52I'm excited.
00:19:53Yeah.
00:19:53So this is an old family recipe, and it has a special...
00:20:00Ingredient?
00:20:02Mm-hmm.
00:20:02Okay, and what would that be?
00:20:06Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:20:10Oh, no.
00:20:13Like, usually I bake this cake every year, and Mitch and I usually celebrate my birthday together.
00:20:19Hmm.
00:20:19So...
00:20:20Well...
00:20:22I just, I wish that he would, you know, text or call or something.
00:20:25You know, it's my birthday.
00:20:28Well, that's his loss, all right?
00:20:30Because this looks amazing.
00:20:36Claire, look, I know you said no gifts, but I couldn't resist.
00:20:42No, you shouldn't have.
00:20:43I know, I know, I know, but I wanted to, okay?
00:20:47It's your special day, and I wanted to give you something, especially with, you know, everything that's going on and done.
00:20:53I just felt like I needed to cheer you up.
00:20:57Oh, that makes...
00:20:59Wow.
00:21:02I wasn't expecting this.
00:21:05It's not much, but, um...
00:21:08It's beautiful.
00:21:12I love it.
00:21:15Oh, you were the best.
00:21:19Oh, okay.
00:21:20I was really hoping you liked it.
00:21:22Alex, you know what?
00:21:24What?
00:21:24You have been such an amazing friend.
00:21:26You know, I only met you a little while ago, and you have been there for me through all of this.
00:21:32And the present, and you're just a beautiful friend.
00:21:37The thing is, I can't even confide in my family, so, you know, I'm glad I've got you.
00:21:43Like, not even your mum, nothing?
00:21:45No, I'm not allowed to breathe the word of this to anyone.
00:21:49You know, Mitch says that it will ruin his reputation, it'll ruin our careers, so, I don't know, like, do you think that's true, Alex?
00:22:00I mean, yes, yes, the press sometimes leak things and expose truths that people don't like, but, you know,
00:22:11I think that people shouldn't keep secrets like that and fear them getting exposed.
00:22:16I don't know who that.
00:22:17You know, Mitch, he practically, as I said, he pays for everything.
00:22:22You know, he's got my house, my car, my clothes, my food, and the only thing that he asks is I keep quiet.
00:22:30So, what do I do with that?
00:22:33I'm indebted to him, Alex.
00:22:34He's been really kind to me.
00:22:36Okay, so, what, he pays your bills and expects you to stay silent?
00:22:41Yeah, Alex, that's all he asks of me.
00:22:44You know, I'm completely dependent on him.
00:22:46I don't have a stable job, and he's been really kind to me.
00:22:50Okay, well, have you thought about getting a stable job?
00:22:53I've gone for a thousand auditions.
00:22:56No, no one will give me a chance.
00:22:58You know, I don't want to do a role that, you know, I want a role that, you know, impresses people and it means something, you know, not showing my body.
00:23:09Yeah, well, that's what you deserve, all right, because you're an amazing actor.
00:23:15Can I tell you something that happened the other day?
00:23:18It was really strange.
00:23:19Yeah, yes, you can tell me anything.
00:23:21Yeah, so, I went for an audition for a role I really wanted, and I booked it.
00:23:26I was so happy.
00:23:28Yeah, I did.
00:23:29But then something really weird happened.
00:23:33What happened?
00:23:34I got dropped.
00:23:38And to this day, like, I still don't understand what happened.
00:23:42You know, I got the news right after I got the phone to Mitch.
00:23:46Wait, so you're saying that they dropped you after you told Mitch?
00:23:51Yeah, and I wanted him to be proud of me, you know.
00:23:53I was going to show him that I was going to make my place in the industry, you know.
00:23:58And I even organized a meeting with the director.
00:24:01Yeah, and what did he say?
00:24:03Not much.
00:24:04You know, he didn't give me anything.
00:24:06And I said, look, I will re-audition.
00:24:08And he saw me on the phone to Mitch, and then he just walked away and said, why don't you go do Mitch's projects instead of other people's?
00:24:14Okay, well, do you think that maybe Mitch had something to do with it?
00:24:21No, Mitch would never do that to me.
00:24:24And he believes in me, Alex.
00:24:25He says I have great potential, and I'm going to be a great actor one day.
00:24:28So, no.
00:24:29Okay, okay.
00:24:30Well, then why doesn't he put you in one of his projects?
00:24:32Because he says that, you know, the roles aren't right for me, and that I need to go and work in other people's projects.
00:24:38So I don't get it.
00:24:39What do I do?
00:24:40What?
00:24:40Who is that?
00:24:47It's Mitch.
00:24:48See, I knew you wouldn't forget.
00:24:50Hey, baby.
00:24:51How are you?
00:24:53See, I knew you wouldn't forget my birthday.
00:24:55Oh, my special cake.
00:24:59Mitch, I thought you were ringing up to wish me happy birthday.
00:25:05No.
00:25:06Mitch, no.
00:25:10I have kept this relationship for a secret for years.
00:25:14Okay?
00:25:15You have no right to ask me to do something like that.
00:25:20No.
00:25:21Mitch, no.
00:25:23Okay?
00:25:24End of discussion.
00:25:25I won't.
00:25:26Okay?
00:25:27I can't.
00:25:27Just leave it, okay?
00:25:30Just leave it.
00:25:31He doesn't deserve to be here, Claire.
00:25:33It's going to be okay, all right?
00:25:35Don't let him ruin your birthday.
00:25:38I just don't get it.
00:25:39Alex, he...
00:25:41We were in love, and he's changed so much.
00:25:46You know, I even said that I'd leave the industry for him.
00:25:49I'd give up my dream.
00:25:50And I thought that one day he might marry me.
00:25:53I just don't get it.
00:25:55And you know what?
00:25:59I know what I'm having.
00:26:04Alex, I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:10Why can't he just want a baby?
00:26:12I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:15I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:17Claire, I...
00:26:19You are going to be the most amazing mother, okay?
00:26:27The mother of a beautiful little girl.
00:26:36Do you know what, Alex?
00:26:38I've got a name for her.
00:26:43What is it?
00:26:45I'm going to call her Clara.
00:26:47Do you like it?
00:26:49I love it.
00:26:56Alex.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:58How's the screenplay coming along?
00:26:59Yeah, not great.
00:27:02I'm, uh...
00:27:04Dude, I'm stuck right now.
00:27:06I really thought that this was going to be the one, but it's just rejection after rejection
00:27:11after rejection.
00:27:13Did you hear back from Liberty Studios?
00:27:16Dude, the screenplay you said me was a banger.
00:27:17Yeah.
00:27:18Well, according to them, it's pretentious, controversial, and not sexy enough.
00:27:24Right.
00:27:26Well, I hope your luck turns around soon.
00:27:29It's a tough industry.
00:27:33So, uh, you been on any of Mitch's sets recently?
00:27:37Oh, yeah.
00:27:38No, he's shooting one down at the studio at the moment.
00:27:40Cast Roxanne Amber as the leading lady.
00:27:42You're kidding?
00:27:44No, not at all.
00:27:45Rumor has it that Mitch and her are secretly dating last couple months.
00:27:50What do you mean?
00:27:51I mean, they've been dating while on the set for the last couple of months.
00:27:57And they're saying that he's going to propose soon.
00:28:01No, there's no way.
00:28:02That would affect the shoot, sure.
00:28:04You think Mitch cares?
00:28:06It's Mitch.
00:28:07Oh, my God.
00:28:08That guy is such a leech.
00:28:11Hey, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
00:28:14Mitch goes through women like he goes through cigars.
00:28:17Right?
00:28:18They won't last long.
00:28:21All right.
00:28:24Well, um, I guess I'll be going there.
00:28:29The missus and my dog are probably waiting for me back at home.
00:28:32Except you're not married.
00:28:35Well, I am in my mind.
00:28:37But that's adorable.
00:28:40Hey, is there anyone you think of that way?
00:28:45There's a certain someone on my mind from time to time.
00:28:49Well, good luck, buddy.
00:28:57I really wasn't in the mood for this today, Mitch.
00:29:00I really just want to stay in bed.
00:29:02Look, I know, but you need some sun and some fresh air, okay?
00:29:07It'll be good for the baby.
00:29:09You can't just stay cooped up inside all day.
00:29:12You want her to be healthy, right?
00:29:13I don't know.
00:29:15Exactly.
00:29:16You're always right.
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:18And look, now that you're here, why don't you look around?
00:29:22Pick out some books.
00:29:23Reading is very relaxing.
00:29:24It'll be good for you.
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:28You're right.
00:29:30All right.
00:29:30Did you want anything?
00:29:33Do you want me to recommend you something good?
00:29:35I think I was feeling Oscar Wilde today.
00:29:40Spectacular.
00:29:40Excellent choice.
00:29:42The Importance of Being Honest will be your next read, and I'm buying it for you.
00:29:49Sorry.
00:29:49Claire, wait.
00:29:59So, I'm pregnant with his child, and he has the audacity.
00:30:09Claire, just let it go, and we'll look at some books, and we'll go to the bakery afterwards.
00:30:16Did you know about this?
00:30:18Were you hiding this from me, Alex?
00:30:20Is that why you took me here today?
00:30:22Yeah.
00:30:22Claire, look, just let them be, all right?
00:30:25Just focus on yourself, please.
00:30:27You know what?
00:30:27I trusted you.
00:30:29Claire, Claire, just let them go.
00:30:31Just wait.
00:30:32Claire, wait!
00:30:34Mitch!
00:30:35Mitch!
00:30:35I need to speak for you right now.
00:30:37Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:30:39Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're going to keep that baby.
00:30:41What is this?
00:30:42Huh?
00:30:43Tell me that this is a lie.
00:30:44Oh, for fuck's sake, Claire.
00:30:46You know what the press are like?
00:30:48They don't care if something's true.
00:30:49They'll fucking print anything as long as idiots will read it.
00:30:51Well, I swear, if that's true, I will go to the press, and I'll tell them everything.
00:30:56Watch.
00:30:58Now, listen, sweetheart.
00:31:03You know that I wouldn't do that, right?
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07So why did you give me the cold shoulder, then?
00:31:10Why did you not want our own baby, Mitch?
00:31:13Is it because of her?
00:31:14Or is it this public relationship talk?
00:31:18It's all fucking bullshit, isn't it?
00:31:19I don't even know her that well.
00:31:22She's the lead actress in my new movie.
00:31:23That is it.
00:31:26Claire, you are the woman I want to marry.
00:31:29You are the one I love.
00:31:33Do you actually mean that, though?
00:31:36Of course.
00:31:39And I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to realise it, but...
00:31:42I know what I want now.
00:31:46Eh?
00:31:48Sweetheart, listen.
00:31:49What you read is all lies, I swear.
00:31:56Then why did you push me away?
00:31:58Mitch, you just cut me off.
00:32:01You just...
00:32:01You just left.
00:32:03I'm sorry for what I said, and I'm sorry for what I did.
00:32:07I guess I just wasn't ready to accept things at that stage.
00:32:10And I was very stressed with work.
00:32:12It's okay.
00:32:16Alright.
00:32:19Now, you know that I've been really busy with my movie, yeah?
00:32:23That's all it is.
00:32:25I had issues with locations, and budgets, and cast, and...
00:32:30It's not an excuse, but...
00:32:33What's this about going to the press, eh?
00:32:35I mean, come on.
00:32:37You're just stooping to their level.
00:32:39And if I know one thing, it's that you're better than that.
00:32:43Just, Mitch, I just...
00:32:44I couldn't stomach the thought of you going out with another woman,
00:32:49you marrying another woman,
00:32:50and then I'm pregnant with our baby girl.
00:32:54I just couldn't.
00:32:55Of course.
00:32:57Look, how about I make up for lost time, yeah?
00:33:01I want us to be a family, Claire.
00:33:05Do you actually mean that, Mitch?
00:33:08You want this?
00:33:09More than anything.
00:33:10I've missed you so much these past few months,
00:33:13and I'm so sorry for everything.
00:33:18I missed it.
00:33:24I really thought I'd lost you, though.
00:33:28Never.
00:33:28You could never lose me.
00:33:32Not even if you tried.
00:33:34You know, why don't I take you out on Friday night
00:33:36and make up for it?
00:33:37Or at least start to make up for it.
00:33:39Somewhere special, yeah?
00:33:41Where are we going?
00:33:42Well, that's a surprise.
00:33:44It'll be just the two of us.
00:33:46Like the good old days.
00:33:47Yeah, I was so angry, Alex.
00:33:50You know, like I marched into his house when I confronted him.
00:33:54Do you know what I even threatened him?
00:33:56Really?
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:58I told him that I would tell the tablet about everything.
00:34:00You said that to him.
00:34:01You said that to Mitch.
00:34:02Yeah.
00:34:03I don't know what came over me.
00:34:04Like, I was so mad.
00:34:06I even got in the magazine, and I hit him.
00:34:09And then the next minute, he was, you know, telling me that he loved me,
00:34:16and he was holding my hand, and he said he wants to be a family,
00:34:20and it was beautiful.
00:34:22Alex, I think he may propose tonight.
00:34:25Okay.
00:34:27Claire, I don't think that he meant that apology, all right?
00:34:30Please just listen to me.
00:34:32People have been talking about him and Roxanne for a long time now,
00:34:35and I think that he wants to marry her.
00:34:38I'm sorry.
00:34:38No, I don't know.
00:34:42Why would you say something like that to me?
00:34:45Like, Alex, why can't you be happy for me?
00:34:47Like, if Mitch said it's a lie, it's a lie.
00:34:50Okay?
00:34:51So if you can't be happy for me, then you should leave.
00:34:57Claire, please listen, okay?
00:34:59I don't think that you're going to be safe with him.
00:35:01Where is he taking you to know?
00:35:02That's a surprise.
00:35:03Claire, just please listen, all right?
00:35:05You know that I want what's best for you.
00:35:07I don't want to hear it, Alex.
00:35:08Come on, please.
00:35:10I'm begging you don't go.
00:35:15Sorry.
00:35:19You look absolutely beautiful.
00:35:22You know that?
00:35:25I've missed you, baby.
00:35:27I've missed you, too.
00:35:28You know, I've been thinking a lot about our life together, about the future.
00:35:32Got to make lots of plans.
00:35:34Really?
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:36Mm-hmm.
00:35:37Mm-hmm.
00:35:38And also, I'm going to have my team make a statement.
00:35:44A press release of that.
00:35:46You don't have to tell anyone else, all right, silly girl?
00:35:49That was so angry.
00:35:51I know.
00:35:52I liked it.
00:35:52You were a little bit scary.
00:35:53You were a bit feisty.
00:35:54Maybe I could see that side tonight when we get home, huh?
00:35:58Our home.
00:35:59Really?
00:36:01Mm-hmm.
00:36:02You want me to come home?
00:36:03The house has been so empty without you.
00:36:06After tonight, I'm going to make sure you don't go anywhere else.
00:36:09Oh, I love you, baby.
00:36:13You ready to be surprised?
00:36:14Super.
00:36:15Let's go.
00:36:16We're waiting for it.
00:36:17Yeah.
00:36:19Well?
00:36:20Wow, this place is, you know, it's big.
00:36:25Um, what do you do here?
00:36:27This is one of my old movie sets.
00:36:30But now I just come here to watch.
00:36:32What do you watch?
00:36:34I watch movies.
00:36:37It's a private cinema.
00:36:38It's a top secret one just for us.
00:36:41No one else will be disturbing us.
00:36:43I mean, that's nice, Mitch, but, you know, I thought we were going to go to dinner.
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:48And...
00:36:48We will go for dinner afterwards, hungry girl.
00:36:52Mm-hmm.
00:36:54I know, but it's just...
00:36:57What's wrong?
00:36:58No one's around and, you know...
00:37:00Yeah, I don't want anyone else here.
00:37:03I want you all to myself.
00:37:05Yeah, but I just...
00:37:07I don't want anyone else to join us.
00:37:09Mitch, why did you bring me here?
00:37:11Okay, I thought dinner and this is just...
00:37:15It's weird.
00:37:17Well, I'm sorry, what are you, five?
00:37:20I mean, who wouldn't want to be on a date here at a private cinema with me in a three-piece suit?
00:37:25Come on.
00:37:26Hey.
00:37:27Hey, no.
00:37:28Be a big girl for once, huh?
00:37:29Want to pick a movie?
00:37:31Or you want to make one?
00:37:32A movie would be nice.
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Oh, I missed your soft skin, huh?
00:37:37Mitch.
00:37:41Mitch.
00:37:42Come here.
00:37:44Come on.
00:37:44Mitch.
00:37:45Don't act like...
00:37:45Don't act like you get that before, huh?
00:37:47It's not over.
00:37:48Mitch.
00:37:48Bitch.
00:37:49I'm pregnant.
00:37:51Hey, come on.
00:37:51Mitch.
00:37:52I'm serious.
00:37:56God damn it.
00:37:57Hey, Alex.
00:38:00Hey.
00:38:01Calm down.
00:38:02What's going on, hey?
00:38:05I just have a really bad feeling about something, okay?
00:38:09Claire and Mitch, that bastard, he pretended to apologize to her and now he's taking her somewhere
00:38:14tonight.
00:38:16Who?
00:38:16Mitch?
00:38:17Is this the pregnant actress you were talking to me about?
00:38:19She said that they reconciled and that he said that he loved her and that, you know,
00:38:24God, that he was going to take the baby and that he was going to take care of them both
00:38:28and get married.
00:38:30She's too innocent.
00:38:31She doesn't understand these things.
00:38:34Wait, Mitch apologized.
00:38:36Mitch apologized.
00:38:37He's never apologized to anyone in his life.
00:38:41He...
00:38:42She threatened him, right?
00:38:44She threatened to take the pregnancy to the press, okay?
00:38:47And...
00:38:48Oh, God, man, she...
00:38:51Oh, Claire threatened him.
00:38:54Yeah.
00:38:54She threatened Mitch.
00:38:55Yes.
00:38:57Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:38:58Oh, she's amazing, man.
00:39:00I'm telling you, she...
00:39:01I mean, her laugh, her smile, she's...
00:39:04God, she's so beautiful.
00:39:05How does that moron look to see it?
00:39:08Sounds like you've fallen pretty hard, my friend.
00:39:10Look, I don't care about that right now, okay?
00:39:12I just...
00:39:13All I care about is that she is safe and is far away from that bastard.
00:39:17It's possible.
00:39:19Where is he taking her?
00:39:21Look, I did overhear Mitch saying that he was going to take some girl to the studio.
00:39:28What, the abandoned building?
00:39:29Yeah, well, it used to be a movie set, then it was a studio.
00:39:33Some people say it's cursed, but Mitch still has the title.
00:39:35I...
00:39:36I need to get there, quickly.
00:39:38Hey, hey, don't you think you're being a little paranoid?
00:39:40I need to make sure, okay?
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:44Okay, maybe just observe for a distance, all right?
00:39:46So you don't get yourself hurt.
00:39:48Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
00:39:50Thanks, man.
00:40:00Claire!
00:40:01Claire!
00:40:05Claire!
00:40:05Claire!
00:40:05Claire!
00:40:07Claire!
00:40:16Smile, sweetheart.
00:40:20You know, you wanted it as well.
00:40:22I needed it.
00:40:24Enough to be so rough.
00:40:26You know, I'm pregnant, and...
00:40:29Oh, baby, baby, baby.
00:40:32No one forced you to come here.
00:40:35Don't act so innocent.
00:40:37Probably planned that little fucking brat as well just to try and trap me.
00:40:40What?
00:40:42Mitch, I thought you were...
00:40:44I thought you were happy.
00:40:46Oh, did you?
00:40:48You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:40:53You're more stupid than I thought.
00:40:54I thought that we...
00:40:57I thought...
00:40:57I thought...
00:40:58Huh?
00:40:59I thought we recon...
00:41:00I thought we reconciled.
00:41:01Did you?
00:41:02You?
00:41:03I...
00:41:03Okay, okay.
00:41:06You think that I ever loved you?
00:41:08You're nothing to me, you hear me?
00:41:10You're worthless.
00:41:11You're shit on my shoe.
00:41:13Huh?
00:41:13I've got something for you.
00:41:15I've got something for you.
00:41:16What?
00:41:17What?
00:41:17What do you mean?
00:41:18What do you mean?
00:41:19Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:20I'm the biggest producer in this country, you hear?
00:41:22Any girl would want to be with me.
00:41:25Well, breathe it in, baby.
00:41:26Be any pret.
00:41:27Be any pret.
00:41:29Woo!
00:41:30Should be in soon.
00:41:32Huh?
00:41:32That's it.
00:41:35That's it.
00:41:37Sleep tight.
00:41:52What?
00:42:11What?
00:42:11What time is it?
00:42:30How did I get here?
00:42:33Claire? Claire, is she okay? Is Claire here?
00:42:36Sir, please calm down. We'll tell you in a minute. You need to rest.
00:42:39I need to see Claire. Is she okay? Is she here? Is she okay?
00:42:42Your injuries are extremely severe.
00:42:43Hey, how did I get here?
00:42:46Somebody alerted the cops that there was smoke coming from the abandoned studio.
00:42:50You and the woman were rescued.
00:42:55Claire's okay.
00:42:57Is she alright? Is she hurt?
00:43:02Sir, I am deeply sorry to say that the woman didn't make it.
00:43:07No.
00:43:07No, no, no. She...
00:43:11It's not true. I don't believe you were, is she? I need to see her, please.
00:43:15I need to see her!
00:43:16Please.
00:43:17She can't be gone. I need to see Claire. She can't be gone.
00:43:20She can't be...
00:43:21Sir, sir, we're sorry to inform you, but she wasn't able to survive the burns.
00:43:25She couldn't be saved.
00:43:27She was in the fire for too long.
00:43:28Her body is disfigured beyond recognition.
00:43:30But we were able to save the baby.
00:43:36The baby, Claire. Claire, she's alive.
00:43:38The baby is still premature and is in the incubation room.
00:43:41But she is breathing.
00:43:43And she is alive.
00:43:45Oh, Claire.
00:43:47Oh, she's alive.
00:43:53Can I see her? Can I see the baby?
00:43:55Sir, we will bring her here where she can breathe on her own.
00:43:58You need to rest for now.
00:44:09Claire!
00:44:09Nice to meet you.
00:44:10Claire!
00:44:11Happy birthday, Claire.
00:44:13Stop.
00:44:14Don't do that.
00:44:15Claire?
00:44:15Please.
00:44:16Please, I'm begging you, don't go.
00:44:18I think we'd be really good friends.
00:44:20Claire.
00:44:27Are you Alex?
00:44:29Yes.
00:44:30Yes.
00:44:32You must be Claire's mum.
00:44:36It's nice to meet you.
00:44:40I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.
00:44:44Claire always spoke so highly of you.
00:44:49What happened to my daughter?
00:44:50Claire, how did this happen?
00:44:55It was an accident.
00:44:58Claire's age room.
00:44:59I'm so sorry.
00:45:01You told me she was pregnant and the baby survived.
00:45:05I didn't know what was going on in Claire's life.
00:45:08She wouldn't tell me anything.
00:45:11Who's the father?
00:45:12And where is he?
00:45:13I don't know.
00:45:17When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:45:20She never talked about him.
00:45:22I never asked.
00:45:23How did she keep such a big secret from me?
00:45:26My poor Claire.
00:45:28And my father's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:31I'm afraid he's nowhere to be seen, even when she was life.
00:45:36And I don't think he's going to be turning up any time soon.
00:45:39How terrible.
00:45:42My poor daughter and her poor child.
00:45:45Oh, she's beautiful.
00:45:54She looks just like my daughter when she was baby.
00:45:59How precious.
00:46:02Oh, if only her mother were here.
00:46:05Claire wanted to name her Clara.
00:46:10Baby Clara.
00:46:12You're coming with me now.
00:46:15Hey, you're going to be okay.
00:46:23What kills me that she'll grow up an orphan?
00:46:27Oh, I hope her father changes his mind and shows up.
00:46:32Now that Claire's gone, he's needed more than ever.
00:46:37If he changes his mind and shows up, please let me know.
00:46:47I'll come and visit the two of you from time to time.
00:46:53That's all right.
00:46:54I'll check and make sure that everything's okay.
00:46:58See if Clara needs anything.
00:47:02For Claire's sake.
00:47:06You're too kind.
00:47:07I'm so glad Claire had someone like you in her life.
00:47:11All right.
00:47:33Time to celebrate.
00:47:34Happy birthday, Clara.
00:47:38You've been so lucky for us today.
00:47:40Well, it's a very important birthday for you.
00:47:43Please, plug it, Ken.
00:47:48How's it important?
00:47:49Well, first of all, you have had such an amazing year.
00:47:52I mean, the roles that you have landed and everything that you have accomplished and at such a young age.
00:47:58I am so, so proud of you.
00:48:00Girl, you heard them too by yourself.
00:48:03Well, practically, them both sought after Swimming Rider.
00:48:06Everyone wanted to write their movie.
00:48:07It hurts to feel to have so much money.
00:48:09Well, come on.
00:48:10I mean, you're the one who is so successful and who knows what it means to be talented, all right?
00:48:15I'm just a humble guy until just recently.
00:48:18Well, I couldn't have done any of this without you as well.
00:48:21No, no, you're the one with the time.
00:48:24And you have such a good head on your shoulders.
00:48:26I mean, most actors don't, especially at a young age.
00:48:30So many of them get as unpleasant circumstances.
00:48:35I've heard about that.
00:48:36Thankfully, I've gotten this far unscathed.
00:48:40Clara, I think it's time that you knew something.
00:48:44Go on.
00:48:46I think that it's time that you knew the truth about your parents.
00:48:51My parents?
00:48:52What about my parents?
00:48:53Has my father come around?
00:48:54No, no.
00:48:55The passing of your mother and the absence of your father occurred under very complex circumstances.
00:49:05I think I've always found her like a million and two times about laughing.
00:49:11She always gives me the same exact story.
00:49:13Mom was an actress and she moved away to find more gigs and there's just less and less communication
00:49:19until, bam, I showed up one day, dead.
00:49:24Serious and I was just left with no doubt.
00:49:28Well, just get ready because it is a lot to take in.
00:49:32Okay, so, I met your mother 20 years ago.
00:49:37She had just found out that she was pregnant with you.
00:49:42That's insane.
00:49:43Yeah.
00:49:43Did you guys work together?
00:49:44No, no, no, no.
00:49:45I mean, I was a nobody back then.
00:49:47We both were.
00:49:49She, we had a lot in common and she was very distressed and lonely at the time.
00:49:55Well, she just happened to meet me at a very dark time in her life.
00:50:00What about my father?
00:50:02Your father is a famous and powerful producer.
00:50:07He's a producer?
00:50:08Does he know that his daughter is an actress?
00:50:10I believe he thinks his child died with Claire.
00:50:15So, can you tell him that I'm alive and well?
00:50:18No, I can't.
00:50:19Not like this, at least.
00:50:22Look, your father did not want Claire to have you, right?
00:50:25He insisted that she had an abortion.
00:50:29Oh.
00:50:31So, they didn't want me?
00:50:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:50:35Your, your mother wanted you more than anything, all right?
00:50:37She was ready to stand against the whole world to have you.
00:50:41She chose you over your father, a man that she depended on for almost everything.
00:50:47But, why did she have to die?
00:50:51I'll, I'll get to that, all right?
00:50:53Just let me finish.
00:50:55How did she die?
00:50:57I'll, I'll get to that.
00:50:58Just let me finish.
00:51:00Okay, sorry.
00:51:01All right.
00:51:02So, your father had flings with a lot of actresses and he was never committed to any of them.
00:51:09Your mother trusted him blindly and, you know, she thought that he was committed to it.
00:51:14And the only thing your father was committed to is his career, his public image.
00:51:19I see.
00:51:21So, he tried to convince your mother to get rid of the baby.
00:51:24He told her that he wasn't going to have it.
00:51:27He didn't want the press to find out about it.
00:51:29He said he couldn't have a baby unless he was married and he didn't want to marry your mother either.
00:51:33And why not?
00:51:35Because he wanted to marry a more successful actress instead.
00:51:40For his public image.
00:51:41Who is she?
00:51:42Do I know her?
00:51:43We'll, we'll get to that.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:45So, he kept faking your mother.
00:51:47He kept trying to get her to get an abortion.
00:51:50And as much as the idea of you growing up without a father and with little money her and your mother,
00:51:55she was convinced to try and change your father's mind.
00:51:58She was determined to have you.
00:52:02So, one day I took her to this old vintage bookstore in Dublin.
00:52:08And she saw pictures of your father and another actress on a tabloid sprawled over the front page.
00:52:15It said that they were allegedly in a relationship and that they were planning on getting married.
00:52:20Oh my God.
00:52:21Your mother, she was one of the most kindest and nicest people that I'd ever met.
00:52:28But I had never seen her so furious.
00:52:31She was so angry that she went to your father and threatened him to leave it to the press.
00:52:37What did he have to say for himself?
00:52:39He got scared.
00:52:40And he started lying and convincing her that the press was making it all up.
00:52:44And that he changed his mind about the baby.
00:52:47Saying that he was going to take care of the both of you.
00:52:50I warned your mother.
00:52:51I tried my best.
00:52:53Saying that he could not be trusted.
00:52:55But your mother was so happy.
00:52:57She didn't listen to my warnings.
00:53:00The next thing I knew, your father had taken her to a studio and strangled her in a car.
00:53:10I was with a friend at the time and I was ranting on about how Claire was going out with Mitch and I knew, I knew something was going to happen around.
00:53:18And then he told me that Mitch was taking a woman to an abandoned studio.
00:53:21But I rushed there.
00:53:23I rushed there as quickly as I could.
00:53:25But I was too late.
00:53:29What happened next?
00:53:30How did we even get out of there?
00:53:32I got to the studio and I saw Mitch had a towel around your mother's mouth.
00:53:37I tried to rescue her.
00:53:38I ran there as fast as I could.
00:53:40But his men were still there and they beat me until I passed out.
00:53:43Alex, how did, how did we get out of there alive?
00:53:49People heard screaming.
00:53:51They called the cops and that's how you and I got to the hospital.
00:53:55You were right.
00:53:58Your mother wasn't so lucky.
00:54:00I just can't believe my father.
00:54:07Don't hurt me like that.
00:54:09Alex, who is this monster?
00:54:12Once we were at the hospital, I called your grandmother and we made arrangements for how
00:54:17you were going to be raised.
00:54:20She asked me what happened but I couldn't tell her.
00:54:25I gave her enough to give her closure.
00:54:27No, Alex, you did the right thing.
00:54:31Nana could not have known about any of this.
00:54:34It would have been too much better than that.
00:54:36And I had a great childhood.
00:54:39And we had you, so thank you for being our very sunshine.
00:54:47Please.
00:54:50Who is my father?
00:54:55The producer, Mitch, Mitch Sternham, is your father.
00:55:01Yuck.
00:55:02Yuck.
00:55:03Yuck.
00:55:04He is such a creep.
00:55:05You know, he was a creep back then too.
00:55:06A heartless one.
00:55:07You know, he's got a wife and kids and I know for a fact that he gets around.
00:55:09He gets with barely legal stylists.
00:55:10Poor Roxanne.
00:55:11That's the one.
00:55:12You know, he's a creep back then too.
00:55:15A heartless one.
00:55:17You know, he's got a wife and kids and I know for a fact that he gets around.
00:55:21He gets with barely legal stylists.
00:55:25Poor Roxanne.
00:55:26That's the one.
00:55:30You know, he's been begging me to be in his new project.
00:55:33And I keep turning him down because something about him makes me so uncomfortable.
00:55:37You're a lot wiser than your mother was, but she was just too innocent for this industry.
00:55:47I guess that's how a guy like Mitch was able to dig his claws into her.
00:55:51But doesn't he suspect for a second that I could be his daughter that survived?
00:55:56Well, I don't think Mitch has been with too many women at this point and I think he's
00:56:00just forgotten about Clint.
00:56:03What a pig.
00:56:05I can't believe he's gotten away with this, for this love.
00:56:09He has a lot of influence and creating a scandal around your birth and everything, it
00:56:16just, it would have ruined your childhood and I, I couldn't do that to you.
00:56:22So I kept everything a secret.
00:56:26It's not right, Alex.
00:56:29None of this is right.
00:56:31There must be some way that we can get back at him for all that he's done.
00:56:37We need a plan.
00:56:44Let's give him that scandal that he's been running from for the past 20 years.
00:56:49I'll confront him.
00:56:50In public.
00:56:53I'll make a whole scene and I don't think it'll affect my career that much, but hopefully
00:56:57his will be ruined.
00:57:00Well.
00:57:03I have been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years.
00:57:09And I have the perfect plan.
00:57:12I've been writing this screenplay and I've been writing it for years.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:17Go on.
00:57:18When your mother passed, I, I knew that I wanted to tell this story.
00:57:22So I started writing a screenplay about it.
00:57:25So you're going to make a movie?
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:28A movie that, that accurately portrays what happened.
00:57:31And as Lich sees it, he will be riddled with guilt.
00:57:36Is he going to go for it?
00:57:39All right.
00:57:41Plan is, I wanted to cast you as your mother.
00:57:45All right.
00:57:46I mean, you guys are, you're so alike and I think it would be the perfect touch to get
00:57:50on his nerves.
00:57:51The plan is, we torture him psychologically, you know, until, until he goes insane.
00:57:56The plan is to then change the names, except for the main two ones, Claire and Mitch.
00:58:02I think that could actually work.
00:58:04Yeah.
00:58:04I'm in.
00:58:05All right.
00:58:07Okay.
00:58:08Well, you need to be sure about this, right?
00:58:11You need to make sure that you are ready.
00:58:13Because we've got a lot of work to do, so we've got to get started now.
00:58:16I'm ready to get started.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:18We are going to ruin him.
00:58:20Yes.
00:58:21I just need you to calm down and make sure that you are prepared for it.
00:58:27Okay.
00:58:28You need to make sure that you are ready for this project, because if not, if this goes
00:58:32south, there could be consequences.
00:58:36I know.
00:58:36And I promise I will carefully consider that.
00:58:43These are some of your mother's things.
00:58:45I, I saved them for you after you've, after she passed, and, uh, this is a diary that
00:58:55she kept when she was in a relationship with Mitch.
00:58:57I want you to have it.
00:58:59We'll help you prepare for the role.
00:59:00Well, congratulations.
00:59:10Our movie was a box office pick.
00:59:12And guess what?
00:59:13That's not even the best part.
00:59:14Ah, I see you're still thinking about Mitch's reaction.
00:59:17That's right.
00:59:18I mean, how could I not?
00:59:19Did you see his face?
00:59:22God, he must be going insane.
00:59:23I mean, the movie is everywhere.
00:59:26Right?
00:59:26I, oh, I still can't see what my mum saw, I can mention.
00:59:31He is so arrogant.
00:59:33You know, he was begging me to be in his new production and still found time to brag about
00:59:37himself.
00:59:38Well, you know, people make mistakes when they're as sincere as your mother.
00:59:42And I mean, come on, that's just classic Mitch, right?
00:59:45I mean, he's literally cheating on the woman that he ended up marrying.
00:59:49God, he's such a worthless, pathetic worm.
00:59:53I just, I can't even stand running into him at events.
00:59:57It makes me want to vomit thinking about what he did to my mother.
01:00:00I can't believe that man is my biological father.
01:00:03Look, he is not your father, all right?
01:00:06A parent is someone who watches over you as you grow up.
01:00:09And he never even tried.
01:00:11Okay?
01:00:12You know, I often wonder, like, even if he hated your mother so much that he ended up
01:00:17murdering her, I mean, how could he be so heartless about his own child?
01:00:21You've been more of a father to me than Mitch ever could be.
01:00:26You were the one that looked over me while I was growing up an orphan.
01:00:30You know, I just did the right thing, you know?
01:00:33I mean, I feel so terrible about how you were treated and what happened to you.
01:00:39It's, for you, I want the life that your mother dreamed of, all right?
01:00:43And she was, she was fragile, but God, I'm just in awe of her strength.
01:00:53I wish that it was you instead of Mitch that my mum fell in love with.
01:00:58I wish that I were your daughter.
01:01:00Hey, you are like a daughter to me and don't you forget it.
01:01:03I mean, I wish you and mum had be.
01:01:07I can't help but think how different all three of our lives would be if that were the case.
01:01:12Especially mum's.
01:01:17If she was still here, I definitely would have said the two of you are.
01:01:21Come on.
01:01:23Wait.
01:01:24What?
01:01:25You liked my mum.
01:01:28You, like, like, liked her.
01:01:30Okay.
01:01:30No, she was a dear friend.
01:01:32I mean, we had a lot in common and we were both struggling with our careers at the time.
01:01:38Well, come on.
01:01:39If things had worked out differently, you reckon you guys would have eventually gotten together?
01:01:45Clara, I met your mother when she suspected that she was pregnant with you, all right?
01:01:51She was in a toxic, abusive relationship with Mitch and that took a toll on her, all right?
01:01:57I mean, she was so lonely that she confided in a stranger.
01:02:02I mean, today, here, that stranger is seeking her justice.
01:02:07I, if you ask me, I think that's very romantic.
01:02:09Yeah, well, Mitch needs to be brought to justice, all right?
01:02:14And we are going to do that.
01:02:16He's going to pay for everything he did.
01:02:18I mean, God knows what else he's done that we don't know about.
01:02:21Well, anyone who's seen the movie and knows Mitch in real life, surely they've made some connections by now.
01:02:28They've got to be growing suspicious.
01:02:30Yeah, well, we're going to make sure that they do.
01:02:32Our goal is to make it so that he breaks down and then just confesses to everything.
01:02:38I'm going to destroy his beloved career, the career for which he destroyed so many lives and broke so many hearts.
01:02:46And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:53And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:03:02I've been sending him pictures of your mother from different addresses, you know, just messing with his head.
01:03:08I just hope Mitch doesn't sue us.
01:03:10No, he can't, all right?
01:03:11I've thought about that before we made the movie.
01:03:13If he tries anything, then I'll just make sure that you and him take a DNA test and it'll just further prove what I'm accusing him of.
01:03:20It's surely only a matter of time before he can convince us.
01:03:24Well, I have a plan for when that eventually happens.
01:03:27I'm just waiting for his last nerve to crack.
01:03:30You know, I've been holding back the urge to beat the shit out of him for the last 20 years.
01:03:37But he's influential, so we have to be clever about how we do this.
01:03:42I, um, I've been enjoying what we're doing, the movie and my role.
01:03:47And it just is really, really hard to think about my mother as much.
01:03:52Well, you know, critics have been praising the way that you've played your part, all right?
01:03:59I mean, you've been nominated for, like, what, so many awards.
01:04:06And I had a feeling that you were going to win all of them.
01:04:10Well, don't sell yourself short.
01:04:12You came from, what, penniless screenwriter and now you're one of the greats?
01:04:16You didn't give yourself enough credit.
01:04:17You know that your mother was a struggling actress.
01:04:20You know, she barely got any work, even though she was so stunning.
01:04:25It just, it makes me so proud to see you just take over this industry.
01:04:31Well, I have been very lucky with roles.
01:04:34And your influence doesn't hurt.
01:04:36Come on.
01:04:36No, you have been making waves without me, right?
01:04:39That takes sheer talent.
01:04:42You know, your mother wasn't so fortunate.
01:04:44She couldn't escape the destruction that Mitch unleashed upon her.
01:04:50You know, I was so sure back then, and I still am to this day, that he was sabotaging your mother's career.
01:04:58Just making sure that she was financially and emotionally dependent on her so that she just couldn't escape.
01:05:04I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
01:05:13If he found out who I really was, he would surely kill me.
01:05:16Look what he did to my mother.
01:05:17No, no, you, you are safe.
01:05:19He can't do shit to you, all right?
01:05:21Your name's just, it's too big at this point.
01:05:24Yeah, but Alex, he's losing his mind.
01:05:26I've been hearing it from people.
01:05:27I even saw him at an event, and he just seemed visibly shaken.
01:05:32Yeah, well, he's going to confront us soon.
01:05:34I'm sure of it.
01:05:44What is it?
01:05:45Oh, bingo.
01:05:50It's an email from his assistant.
01:05:52Oh, my God.
01:05:54They're praising us for the movie.
01:05:57They're saying that, they're saying that they're very proud of what we did,
01:06:01and that Mitch has been trying to get his hands on me for quite some time.
01:06:05And that they threw in a lot of comments about you, too.
01:06:07It's compliments, saying that he's always wanted to get you on one of his films,
01:06:13and he's quite jealous of the fact that I got you.
01:06:17Well, I will never work with Mitch, ever.
01:06:19Not over my dead body.
01:06:23Who knows?
01:06:24He just invited me to an abandoned building to discuss a new project.
01:06:27An abandoned building?
01:06:29Oh, wow!
01:06:30That doesn't seem suspicious.
01:06:32Yes, well, I think Mitch and I both know each other's intentions at this point, so.
01:06:37It's definitely a trap.
01:06:39What are you going to do?
01:06:40Are you going to go?
01:06:42Well, I'm going to confront him.
01:06:44I'm going to give him a piece of my mind,
01:06:45and you are going to come with me, because I have a plan.
01:06:49Okay, okay.
01:06:50What's the plan?
01:06:51All right.
01:06:52I want you to dress like your late mother the day that she died.
01:06:56Use your costume from the movie, and just prepare to act like a ghost.
01:07:01And what?
01:07:01And just scare him?
01:07:02I want you to give him the fright of his life, all right?
01:07:07And while I destroy him with my words, you and her and that, we've got.
01:07:11Okay, and then what?
01:07:13Then we wait for him to break down.
01:07:16He confesses everything, and we call the cops.
01:07:19What if he knows that I'm Clara and not my dead mother's ghost, just right from the get-go?
01:07:25It doesn't matter, all right?
01:07:26The goal is to stir up his guilt.
01:07:29What if he tries to kill us?
01:07:31Hey, like I said, we'll call the cops.
01:07:35It's up to you, bro.
01:07:37Okay.
01:07:39Okay.
01:07:40Yeah.
01:07:41I'm in.
01:07:42Let's do it.
01:07:49Mitch.
01:07:50So you're the scumbag who's been fucking with me.
01:08:03I have been holding on to my rage for the past 20 years.
01:08:07I'm going to make you pay for everything that you did to Claire.
01:08:15But you've got no evidence.
01:08:16And I'm never going to admit what I did or didn't do.
01:08:24Do you have any remorse for what you did to her?
01:08:28You know, I'm sure that out of all of the actresses that you've slept with,
01:08:32none of them were as good or as decent or as loyal to you as Claire was.
01:08:38That's good in bed, I'll give her that.
01:08:42She was just a bimbo who got what she deserved.
01:08:44And newsflash, mate, she's dead.
01:08:48Has been for a while, so I don't really see the point of all this.
01:08:53No?
01:08:55Do you know that her baby survived?
01:08:58Bullshit.
01:09:00There's no way.
01:09:01It's not medically possible.
01:09:03Nice try.
01:09:03Well, Clara, the starlet that you so desperately want in all of your projects.
01:09:13She's your daughter, Mitch.
01:09:17I mean, did it ever occur to you how much she looks like Claire?
01:09:22Were you ever able to figure that one out?
01:09:24What do you want from me?
01:09:28I want to torture you for what you did to her.
01:09:31I want to make you suffer as much as you made Claire suffer before you murdered her.
01:09:38You listen here, you fucking bastard.
01:09:41One phone call from me, you disappear forever.
01:09:44Got that?
01:09:45Hey?
01:09:46Mitch?
01:09:46Is it really you?
01:09:54Why did you kill me, Mitch?
01:09:58I told you the baby and I wouldn't bother you.
01:10:02Why did you have to do what you did?
01:10:06You shut up.
01:10:08You're not real.
01:10:09I kept screaming your name, but you had your hand wrapped around my throat.
01:10:22I don't understand how carrying your child was such a crime that you had to murder me.
01:10:27I said...
01:10:28Shut up!
01:10:29You shut up!
01:10:31You're not real.
01:10:33Claire is dead.
01:10:33I know that you're Clara.
01:10:36Mitch, I had so many dreams.
01:10:39But you.
01:10:41Me.
01:10:43A happy ending.
01:10:45I would have given up anything for you.
01:10:49But not my child.
01:10:51Not our child.
01:10:54No, you just probably...
01:10:56What?
01:10:56You fucked someone else.
01:10:58Tried to pass the kid off the night.
01:10:59God, you are such a heartless pig.
01:11:02Her life literally revolved around you all.
01:11:05And you.
01:11:06Weaseling your way in.
01:11:08Trying to forget my sloppy seconds.
01:11:11You're pathetic.
01:11:13Close off you.
01:11:15I never loved anyone but you, Mitch.
01:11:20And you killed me.
01:11:24Have you ever thought about me?
01:11:26Even once?
01:11:29After all these years?
01:11:32You're a hell of a good actress.
01:11:34I'll give you that.
01:11:36That what you want to hear?
01:11:37When you kissed my cheek that night and you held my hand, I thought a lot of troubles were
01:11:49really over.
01:11:50I had nothing.
01:11:52I had nothing, Mitch.
01:11:56No money.
01:11:57I cried myself to sleep every night.
01:12:01How do you know what happened between me and Clyde?
01:12:07Answer me!
01:12:09And you whispered in my ear that everything was going to be okay.
01:12:16And you got that look in your eye and...
01:12:20You pull me by my hair?
01:12:25And you push me up against the wall?
01:12:27God, you fucking monster!
01:12:31I can take you and your career to places you couldn't otherwise have dreamt of.
01:12:35Leave her alone, all right?
01:12:36You see, you see, this, this is the kind of man that your father is.
01:12:40And you wondered how he managed to murder your mother.
01:12:44This ends now!
01:12:47Piece of shit.
01:12:49It's okay.
01:12:51He's gonna be fine.
01:12:53I got the act, Clara.
01:12:54Last chance I'll kill him.
01:12:56You hear me?
01:13:01Fucking animal, all right?
01:13:02I'm gonna make you pay for what you did.
01:13:06No.
01:13:08No, Alex, no.
01:13:10You're not gonna do anything.
01:13:12Chloe, this is not the time for forgiveness, all right?
01:13:15He needs to...
01:13:16I need to finish this.
01:13:19Alex, this is not your revenge to take.
01:13:23This man doesn't have a shred of guilt for killing me.
01:13:31He doesn't have any room in his heart for his child.
01:13:34Chloe, you can drop the act, okay?
01:13:35He knows that you're not clear as goes.
01:13:37We need to finish him.
01:13:38I...
01:13:39I need to finish him.
01:13:42You know, Mitch, I loved you so much.
01:13:47You are my everything.
01:13:48I would have given up everything for you.
01:13:53But you just couldn't bear the thought of me raising our child on my own.
01:14:02You had to kill me and kill your unborn child.
01:14:06What kind of evil man does it take to do that?
01:14:10You're a monster, Mitch.
01:14:12But you'd never rest in peace.
01:14:17You shut up.
01:14:19I know you're not clear as goes.
01:14:22If you are my daughter, it's because you've got half my heart.
01:14:25Your mother was a lazy, weak, pathetic actress who kept sleeping with me for money.
01:14:32Now leave this fucking loser behind and let's take your career to the next level.
01:14:37What do you say?
01:14:38You shut up.
01:14:39You fucking shut up!
01:14:40You piece of shit liar.
01:14:42No.
01:14:42No, you don't.
01:14:43Claire, please.
01:14:44Claire, please.
01:14:45This is why we need to finish him.
01:14:47I need to end him now.
01:14:49Come on.
01:14:49Did I kill him?
01:14:57I swear I didn't even have my fingers on the trigger.
01:15:04Claire, where did you get this?
01:15:07It's the same one I gave your mother on her birthday, but...
01:15:11She was buried with it.
01:15:14Here I thought it was one of a kind.
01:15:19Alex!
01:15:25Alex!
01:15:26Are you okay?
01:15:32Why are you looking at me like that?
01:15:34Did you give me that bracelet?
01:15:39What bracelet, Alex?
01:15:41No way.
01:15:49Is...
01:15:49Is this...
01:15:51I think so.
01:15:55And...
01:15:55It's only fitting that you get it.
01:15:58I mean...
01:16:01It's...
01:16:02It's beautiful, but...
01:16:05How?
01:16:07I don't know if I...
01:16:08Come on.
01:16:10We should get out of here.
