00:00:00All right, here are your appetizers and your entrees will arrive shortly.
00:00:09She looks like the woman who's been out with Daniel Ross.
00:00:13Daniel Ross? You mean Hollywood's top emerging producer?
00:00:18There's no way she'd work at a place like this.
00:00:21You're right.
00:00:23Ava, what are you doing? Daydreaming?
00:00:26Why haven't you served that table over by the window yet?
00:00:29They've been waiting for 30 minutes.
00:00:31No, no, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.
00:00:33Get it done or go waste time at a different restaurant.
00:00:42Psst, Ava.
00:00:45Didn't I tell you if I don't call for you, don't show up?
00:00:48I have some news for you. Your husband, Mr. Daniel Roth, I hear he's hosting a banquet here tonight.
00:00:54I 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.
00:01:12Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:29You're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30You're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:36Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:47I've been following my new annum.
00:01:50I love you.
00:01:51Babe, is your entire birthday party just for me?
00:01:54Yeah.
00:01:55Aren'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, she's gonna sign those divorce papers.
00:02:06But babe, I know you've been going through.
00:02:10So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:25Surprise!
00:02:27Ava, what are you doing here?
00:02:31Wow, babe, I see that your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:36Daniel, what is this?
00:02:39Today's her anniversary, who is she?
00:02:42Well, since you're already here, meet Sophia, my future.
00:02:48What? I'm your wife!
00:02:50Let'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.
00:03:11Sophia 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.
00:03:20What 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.
00:03:36Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:40And trust me, she would never pick you.
00:03:47She'd never pick you.
00:03:48You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:49Don't be a sore loser.
00:03:50How are you saying this?
00:03:51She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:52I know she's talking about the casting.
00:03:53He lies.
00:03:54Exactly.
00:03:55No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:03:58Too embarrassing.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00What spell did she use to leech him off for three years?
00:04:02That's enough, Ava.
00:04:03I know she's talking about the casting.
00:04:04He lies.
00:04:05Exactly.
00:04:06No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:07Too embarrassing.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:09What spell did she use to leech him off for three years?
00:04:10That's enough, Ava.
00:04:11Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:12Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:13Hmm?
00:04:14Papers?
00:04:15Grandpa?
00:04:16Listen.
00:04:17Everything has been arranged with the Bryant heiress.
00:04:19As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:21Understood, Grandpa.
00:04:22I won't let you down.
00:04:23There.
00:04:24We're finished.
00:04:25Perfect.
00:04:26And why did you do that?
00:04:27That's enough, Ava.
00:04:28That's enough, Ava.
00:04:29Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:30Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:31Hmm?
00:04:32Papers?
00:04:33Grandpa?
00:04:34Listen.
00:04:35Everything has been arranged with the Bryant heiress.
00:04:36As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:37Understood, Grandpa.
00:04:38I won't let you down.
00:04:39There.
00:04:40We're finished.
00:04:41Perfect.
00:04:42And while we're at it, why don't you have 20 grand?
00:04:49Consider a payment for three years in my bed.
00:04:52Because that's all you're worth.
00:04:54Oh my god, Daniel, that's Versace!
00:04:59You crazy woman!
00:05:03You crazy woman!
00:05:12Who the hell are you?
00:05:13She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:14Light pink dress?
00:05:15That must be her.
00:05:16Apologize to the lady.
00:05:17Let go of me!
00:05:18Who are you?
00:05:19I could be calling the cops!
00:05:20This is assault!
00:05:21Be my guest.

00:05:41God!
00:05:42Oh!
00:05:43You had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:44Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim while you were using my money to pay off
00:05:53your side bitch!
00:05:54You know what?
00:05:55You're absolutely right.
00:05:56And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:58I'm marrying him.
00:06:00What?
00:06:01I'm marrying him.
00:06:02What?
00:06:03What?
00:06:04What?
00:06:05What?
00:06:06What?
00:06:08What?
00:06:10What?
00:06:19I'm Ava.
00:06:20You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:06:23Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:25Actor?
00:06:26I, uh...
00:06:27Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:28I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:31Just...
00:06:32Name your price.
00:06:33Excuse me?
00:06:34Oh, come on.
00:06:35I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:40William.
00:06:45Um...
00:06:46You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:50Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:52Perfect.
00:06:53Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:07:02Um...
00:07:04Should...
00:07:05Should we...
00:07:11There you go.
00:07:19There you go.
00:07:32Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:33Uh, 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?
00:07:41Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:44Wait...
00:07:45What?
00:07:49So...
00:07:52She's not Miss Bryan.
00:08:12Three years.
00:08:16Finally back.
00:08:19Hello?
00:08:24Hey!
00:08:25It's me!
00:08:27Oh, um...
00:08:28Hey!
00:08:29Uh, what's up?
00:08:30I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:34Uh...
00:08:41Hey!
00:08:43Um...
00:08:44So what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:47Well, uh...
00:08:49Um...
00:08:50I've been out of work.
00:08:52I couldn't pay my rent.
00:08:54So...
00:08:55Landlord kicked me out.
00:08:57Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:59Come on.
00:09:00You live here.
00:09:01Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:15Uh...
00:09:21Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:24Uh...
00:09:26No.
00:09:27This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:30I'm just half sitting.
00:09:31Oh.
00:09:33Uh...
00:09:34Make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:38Yeah.
00:09:39Yeah.
00:09:48Tim...
00:09:49Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:51Three years since what?
00:09:52Ah!
00:09:53Um...
00:10:03So the fridge...
00:10:05Is empty.
00:10:10Yeah.
00:10:12Do you want pizza?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Pizza works.
00:10:19All right.
00:10:21Um...
00:10:25I'll go make an order.
00:10:27Great.
00:10:31Oh, you're...
00:10:32Hey, Peter.
00:10:46Run a check on this girl.
00:10:58Oh my god.
00:10:59Mike.
00:11:00Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:11:03What the?
00:11:06I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:11:11I swear if he hurt my Ava.
00:11:14That's it.
00:11:15Him and his company are dead.
00:11:18Hear me?
00:11:19They're dead.
00:11:30Oh my god.
00:11:36Hey.
00:11:37You okay?
00:11:39Um...
00:11:41It's...
00:11:42It's my stomach.
00:11:43Here.
00:11:44Let's just get you down.
00:11:48Heh.
00:11:49I know you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:12:04Other than my parents.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:06Do you think you ate something bad?
00:12:07It's just an allergy.
00:12:08I probably should have checked if the pizza had any soy before eating like half of it.
00:12:11But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:13I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:14Okay.
00:12:15Okay.
00:12:16What are you doing?
00:12:17Do you think you ate something bad?
00:12:21It'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.
00:12:33Okay.
00:12:44What are you doing?
00:12:47Um, you said you needed some rest. I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:58It's okay. I can walk by myself.
00:13:01No, you can't.
00:13:02No, I don't know.
00:13:16No, I don't know.
00:13:17I don't know.
00:13:18I don't know.
00:13:20Oh
00:13:50Uh, you're awake?
00:14:14Yeah, I am.
00:14:16I just got up.
00:14:17Um, do you have an apron?
00:14:23Oil's a bit hot.
00:14:26Of course.
00:14:28Um, just let me help you.
00:14:30Um, just let me help you.
00:15:00Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:15:06Um, who are they?
00:15:17I'm her!
00:15:17They are my best friend's parents.
00:15:20They've come to see if the house needs any repairs, right?
00:15:24And this is?
00:15:25He's, um, um...
00:15:32Nice to meet you.
00:15:36I'm, uh, Ava's fiancé.
00:15:39What?
00:15:44Yeah, um, he's my fiancé.
00:15:48William.
00:16:07Ava!
00:16:08What the hell is going on?
00:16:10Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:16:12Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:16:16You picked up husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:16:20Pretty much.
00:16:22Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:16:24Oh, whatever.
00:16:25All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:16:27The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:32Daniel, and that shameless bitch's relatives won't even exist.
00:16:37What?
00:16:37No, we're not doing that.
00:16:38Why not?
00:16:39Anyone that harms my girl does love to rot in hell.
00:16:42Your dad and I will tear them apart and feed them to the wolves.
00:16:46Okay, Mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:50Tonight at the director's dinner, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:55Trust me.
00:16:56We're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:57So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:09I, uh...
00:17:12I am...
00:17:14Which family are you from?
00:17:22I, uh...
00:17:26I am...
00:17:30Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree,
00:17:33but he's a real go-getter.
00:17:36A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:41A rising star?
00:17:45Ava, how can you still fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes?
00:17:51Haven't you had enough of their pathetic excuses?
00:17:55You didn't listen to us before.
00:17:57And now look where you are.
00:17:58Okay, that's enough.
00:17:59We gotta get going.
00:18:00Let's go.
00:18:00That's okay.
00:18:01Bye.
00:18:01I'm sorry.
00:18:14I know those words hurt.
00:18:16It's fine.
00:18:18You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents...
00:18:22It's like you see them as your own.
00:18:23Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so...
00:18:29Uh, they owe you?
00:18:30Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:32Well, when my friend's family were broke,
00:18:35my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:39After that, they made it big,
00:18:41so our families kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:45Hmm.
00:18:46Big news!
00:18:57The eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director,
00:18:59known as Director V,
00:19:01winner of last year's Palme d'Or,
00:19:03Golden Lion,
00:19:04and Golden Bear,
00:19:04is set to make a major public appearance this week
00:19:07and reveal their next film project.
00:19:16Hey, I've got to go run an errand,
00:19:19so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:19:20Oh, I'm heading out too.
00:19:21You want a ride?
00:19:22No, I'm going pretty far,
00:19:24but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:37This invitation must have fell.
00:19:40Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:46Ava?
00:19:58Hey, what are you doing here?
00:20:00I, um, I'm meeting a producer
00:20:02for a lunch at the hotel.
00:20:05Oh, what are you doing here?
00:20:06Funny coincidence.
00:20:08A friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:09Oh, that's great.
00:20:11For a moment, I thought you were here
00:20:13for the director's dinner.
00:20:14Oh, God, no.
00:20:14I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:20:17I could never be in the film industry.
00:20:19I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:20:22I'd love to,
00:20:23but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:20:26Oh, I mean, don't worry.
00:20:27You'll get there soon enough.
00:20:29You can come with me.
00:20:32I'll see you tonight.
00:20:34Tonight, then.
00:20:35Great.
00:20:41Hmm.
00:20:44Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:54Please go ahead, man.
00:21:00Ah, shit.
00:21:03Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:21:05Um, can you just make an exception?
00:21:07You lost it?
00:21:08Or you never had one?
00:21:08You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:21:11Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:21:12I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:21:14Ava?
00:21:16Where are you?
00:21:17You're stalking us?
00:21:19Take a hint.
00:21:21And leave us alone.
00:21:22It's like wherever we are,
00:21:24you're just there,
00:21:25stalking us.
00:21:26You guys really think that much of yourselves.
00:21:52What?
00:21:52You really think they're just gonna let some housewife
00:21:55into V's banquet?
00:21:57Maybe you should get over yourself.
00:22:01Daniel dropped a cool
00:22:02one million to get me in.
00:22:05He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:22:07Babe, it's just a million.
00:22:10I'd say
00:22:10we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:22:14Billions.
00:22:14Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:22:16Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:22:19And your dreams are real sweet.
00:22:20All right, we have done, Ava.
00:22:22All right?
00:22:23The divorce papers are signed
00:22:25and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:27So, leave us alone.
00:22:30Because frankly,
00:22:31you're disgusting.
00:22:33I'm not gonna waste time with lunatics.
00:22:39Oh, shit.
00:22:40Mrs. Ra,
00:22:41if you will follow me,
00:22:43please to the VIP entrance.
00:23:00I'm, um,
00:23:01I'm actually divorced.
00:23:02I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:23:05You see that one?
00:23:07That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:23:09I'm sorry, Miss Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:11No worries.
00:23:12Just gonna let the rocks in.
00:23:14No worries.
00:23:15My apologies,
00:23:16Mrs. Roth.
00:23:18Um,
00:23:18I've made a mistake.
00:23:20Let me guide you
00:23:20to the VIP entrance, please.
00:23:22Well,
00:23:22since you apologize so sweetly,
00:23:24I'll let it slide.
00:23:26Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition
00:23:29is incredible.
00:23:30No.
00:23:31It's you.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:33She's not here.
00:23:47I guess I must know.
00:23:52Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have a giveaway?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen,
00:24:02next up,
00:24:03the world-renowned,
00:24:04mysterious,
00:24:06director V
00:24:07graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up,
00:24:23the world-renowned,
00:24:25mysterious,
00:24:27director V
00:24:28graces the stage.
00:24:30V,
00:24:34she feels so familiar.
00:24:37Almost like Ava.
00:24:38Finally,
00:24:39we get to see V in person.
00:24:41I can't believe
00:24:41that the legendary director V
00:24:43is a woman.
00:24:44It's been three years
00:24:45since her last project.
00:24:46Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:48This V,
00:24:50I figure it's,
00:24:51it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:53No way.
00:24:54Ava's low-class looks
00:24:56could never compare to V.
00:24:58Yeah,
00:24:58you're right.
00:24:59I've married her
00:25:00for three years.
00:25:01I know her inside
00:25:03and out.
00:25:05She can never compare to V.
00:25:08Idiots.
00:25:09Time to show you
00:25:10how blind you really are.
00:25:14It's too much of a coincidence.
00:25:17I need to check this out.
00:25:22Oh my God,
00:25:23V,
00:25:24baby,
00:25:25it's V walking towards me.
00:25:26Is she going to kiss me?
00:25:27Of course.
00:25:28I've always said
00:25:29you're my diamond.
00:25:30You're going to get
00:25:31your big break.
00:25:32My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:34Because, because,
00:25:34because,
00:25:34you're going to get
00:25:43your big break.
00:25:45My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:46Because, because,
00:25:47because,
00:25:47oh my God,
00:25:50is V okay?
00:25:51Damn it!
00:25:52Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:53This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:56Are you okay?
00:25:58William?
00:25:59No, no, no, no, no.
00:25:59I can't let him know who I am.
00:26:01I am.
00:26:03No, hey,
00:26:04no, wait, wait.
00:26:05No, no.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08It's okay.
00:26:08I've seen this bracelet before.
00:26:18I'll be fine after some rest.
00:26:19Ava?
00:26:21Could V really be Ava?
00:26:29Excuse me, Mrs. Rall?
00:26:40That's me.
00:26:41Who are you?
00:26:42Director V wants you to audition
00:26:44and there's a male actor
00:26:46in room 301.
00:26:49Oh my God.
00:26:50V wants me to audition.
00:26:51This is going to be my big break.
00:26:53I'm on my way.
00:26:54Oh.
00:27:05Everything set?
00:27:07Everything is going to plan.
00:27:09James?
00:27:17Whoa, whoa.
00:27:18Look who it is.
00:27:20Oh, babe,
00:27:20I have missed you
00:27:22since we broke up.
00:27:23What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:32What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:34Well, I...
00:27:35Hmm.
00:27:35Hmm.
00:27:39The audition for Director V starts now.
00:27:48The scene is called The Affair.
00:27:50You must play a couple having a secret meeting
00:27:53while each has their own family.
00:27:55Cameras are set up.
00:27:57Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:59Alright.
00:28:00Let's do this.
00:28:02As you wish.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:09Honey.
00:28:13I'm so sorry, Emily.
00:28:15I had to wait forever
00:28:17for my husband
00:28:17to fall asleep
00:28:18so I can't.
00:28:20Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:27Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:28:34The stream is officially live.
00:28:36Let's add another play to the game.
00:28:38Amp up the drama.
00:28:38Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:46This shit is about to get good.
00:28:54What the fuck?
00:28:57Wait, that's Sophia's ex.
00:28:59James.
00:29:00What the fuck are they doing back together?
00:29:05You don't care if your husband finds out.
00:29:07Don't talk about him.
00:29:09Okay, my spirit doesn't come.
00:29:11I'm the only one.
00:29:12You bitch!
00:29:16You bitch!
00:29:25You bitch!
00:29:26Fuck.
00:29:27Daniel.
00:29:28No, no, it's not me.
00:29:28No, Daniel, stop!
00:29:30Shut the hell up!
00:29:31It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:33This is an audition.
00:29:33You expect me to believe that
00:29:35you're auditioning, you're acting
00:29:37while you're naked in this room
00:29:38kissing your ex.
00:29:40Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:29:41She asked me to audition.
00:29:43James, he's an actor.
00:29:44He's helping with the audition.
00:29:45Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:48Who sent the script?
00:29:50You asshole, come on!
00:29:51It's an affair, okay?
00:29:53We're just acting for an audition.
00:29:55It's for the audition.
00:29:56You really think he could intimidate me?
00:30:00I'm doing this for your company.
00:30:02I'm doing this for V.
00:30:03Ah, ah, ah, save it, all right?
00:30:06If V wanted you here, where is she?
00:30:08I mean, with all your talent,
00:30:10you think she would notice you by now?
00:30:13What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:17Is it new V project?
00:30:19Fuck up.
00:30:19You know that if it wasn't for me,
00:30:21you'd come to be underground!
00:30:23Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:25You thought you could sleep with your ex
00:30:28without me finding out.
00:30:30Oh, and you're so perfect!
00:30:32You're cheating on your wife with me!
00:30:34You asshole!
00:30:36What the fuck?
00:30:45What the fuck?
00:30:49This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:58This feels way too real.
00:31:01Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:31:03Annie's new girlfriend?
00:31:05What the fuck?
00:31:07You want again?
00:31:08Fuck!
00:31:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:31:27Ah!
00:31:28Jeez, this is a next-level violence, Art.
00:31:30Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:34Wait a second.
00:31:35This is clearly revenge. The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress. Could it be Ava's actually movie?
00:31:50Wait! Stop! Stop! I was paid to be here. To play along.
00:31:55I don't think V has anything to do with this.
00:31:58What?
00:32:00It's blowing up on TikTok.
00:32:01Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:32:05Who even played? Who's behind this? Who's posting this online?
00:32:09Ava?
00:32:11You... You set me off!
00:32:14Back off.
00:32:15You posted this? You humiliated us?
00:32:18Humiliated? Daniel, did you ever care? Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:32:22Hey, wasn't this your big break into the film industry?
00:32:25Now the whole world knows you. Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:28You are gonna pay for this!
00:32:30Run!
00:32:31Security! They're fighting!
00:32:33Daniel!
00:32:35Whoa!
00:32:45Three years of marriage and I've never felt so... protected.
00:32:49I'm trying to be able to make it happen.
00:32:55Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet each...
00:32:59The event is over.
00:33:01No!
00:33:03Please stay tuned for more information.
00:33:05Ticket money down the drain!
00:33:07That was gonna be my big break!
00:33:09I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:33:11I just wanna see what amazing lyrics look like.
00:33:16Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:33:19What is up with that video online?
00:33:20What video?
00:33:21The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:24Why is it posted from V's account? Why is V trying to take them down? Are you...
00:33:28Okay, okay, okay.
00:33:32Look, that's because I'm...
00:33:37Sorry.
00:33:39Yeah?
00:33:40Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:42We dug into it.
00:33:49Turns out, Miss Ava is just a regular housewife.
00:33:53Got it.
00:33:57I'm sorry, I overreacted.
00:33:59I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:34:05And it just scared me a little bit.
00:34:07About to marry?
00:34:08Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a condor.
00:34:13You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:34:15And I thought you could feel it, too.
00:34:18I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:34:21If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:34:25I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:34:34If anyone hurts my fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:40Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
00:34:49Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
00:34:51But a master wants to see you.
00:34:53Hey, wait, who are you?
00:34:54I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:57My grandfather doesn't play around.
00:35:00Ava?
00:35:01There's a lot I need to explain, but I can't do it right now.
00:35:06Can you trust me? Just play along.
00:35:12Okay.
00:35:13William, how much do you owe?
00:35:21I hear William is your man now.
00:35:25What?
00:35:29Oh.
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:33Sir, why am I the only one allowed in? Why can't William come?
00:35:35William come.
00:35:36Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:35:38What?
00:35:39How dare you say that about him?
00:35:41He owes you money, right?
00:35:43What if I said yes?
00:35:44How much? Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:35:46Pay it off? It's no small amount.
00:35:48How much?
00:35:50Well, one million.
00:35:52One million.
00:35:56That's it.
00:35:57What, just a million?
00:35:58You don't know the full picture.
00:36:00One million is just the interest.
00:36:03The principal sum is ten million.
00:36:06Ten million?
00:36:08What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:36:09I don't care.
00:36:10I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:13I can.
00:36:14You're a liar.
00:36:15I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:18I can.
00:36:22You're a liar.
00:36:24Not only are you broke,
00:36:27but you're a liar.
00:36:29You're a divorced woman.
00:36:31You've been divorced for three years,
00:36:33and you've been waiting tables.
00:36:36What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:39How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:41Did you investigate me?
00:36:42Yes, I did.
00:36:45In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:48No matter who the debtor is,
00:36:50where they are, or who they're with,
00:36:52I know everything.
00:37:01Did you investigate me?
00:37:03Yes, I did.
00:37:05In our line of work, information is everything.
00:37:07No matter who the debtor is,
00:37:09where they are, or who they're with,
00:37:10or who they're with,
00:37:11I know everything.
00:37:13Try digging a little deeper.
00:37:15My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:37:18And the divorce settlement?
00:37:20It's hefty.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25You've paid $11 million for William?
00:37:29Why did you pay such a huge amount for that scumbag?
00:37:32Maybe to you, he's just a broke jerk.
00:37:34When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:36Money's one thing, but William,
00:37:38he's worth more than all of it.
00:37:40More than all of it.
00:37:45Geez.
00:37:47It's as if destiny is pulling strings.
00:37:50How did William meet someone this perfect?
00:37:54Her ex must be a total jerk.
00:38:00Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:38:04Now.
00:38:18Ava, are you okay?
00:38:20I'm fine.
00:38:22You, you need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:27What?
00:38:28Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:37We've been working with them for years.
00:38:39I don't know.
00:38:40Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:42I mean, it has to be.
00:38:44This is all on Ava.
00:38:46I...
00:38:48I'm gonna kill her.
00:38:49I swear.
00:38:51I hope you do.
00:38:53I mean, with Katzenberg gone,
00:38:54we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:38:57We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:38:59Oh, Daniel, please.
00:39:00Calm down.
00:39:02I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:39:06So, if I can get her approval...
00:39:10Well, then you, as the face of our company,
00:39:14you'll skyrocket the stock price.
00:39:17Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:20Oh, you genius!
00:39:21Yes!
00:39:28Sam?
00:39:29Miss, the captain call is set for tomorrow.
00:39:31I just heard.
00:39:32Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:39:36They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:39:38Even so,
00:39:40I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:42What do you mean?
00:39:44Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:39:46Let her know she can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:48For a high price.
00:40:02Hey, William, what's up?
00:40:04I, uh...
00:40:06I have an audition for Fi's movie tomorrow.
00:40:08Oh.
00:40:10Well, that's great.
00:40:12Look, I'm just too nervous.
00:40:13I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:40:16Do you like baking?
00:40:30Oh, no. Oh, oh!
00:40:31Oh, oh!
00:40:50Well, sorry I'm late.
00:40:52I'm Cameron, the producer of Fi's movie.
00:40:55So, once I pay, Sophia's got the role, right?
00:40:59Of course.
00:41:01I'm Cameron.
00:41:02I'm Cameron.
00:41:03I'm Cameron.
00:41:04I'm Cameron.
00:41:05I'm Cameron.
00:41:07I'm Cameron.
00:41:08I'm Cameron.
00:41:09I'm Cameron.
00:41:11This is perfect.
00:41:13What's going on?
00:41:14Uh, nothing.
00:41:15You want more cake?
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:25Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much.
00:41:28No, you're not even tipsy.
00:41:31And I'm, I'm fine.
00:41:33Alright, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:35Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:36Can I kiss you?
00:41:46Can I kiss you?
00:41:47You should probably take that.
00:41:48No.
00:41:49Why the hell?
00:41:50How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:41:53Hmm.
00:41:54Well, look at you back in character.
00:41:55I think my job here is done.
00:41:56Time to get some sleep and have the showers.
00:41:57How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:41:58How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:41:59Hmm.
00:42:00How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:42:01Hmm.
00:42:02Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:03I think my job here is done.
00:42:04Time to get some sleep and have the showers.
00:42:05How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:42:09Hmm.
00:42:10How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:42:11Hmm.
00:42:12How many times have I just started to feel it?
00:42:13Hmm.
00:42:14Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:16I think my job here is done.
00:42:19Time to get some sleep and have the showers.
00:42:22Wow, Ava, you're stunning.
00:42:38No one would believe that Director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:42:44You 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.
00:42:52Hello?
00:43:00Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:03What's wrong? Has something happened?
00:43:05No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:10Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:13Uh, um, uh...
00:43:22Could you be my partner?
00:43:25Uh, um, all right, um, yeah, no, I mean, of course, I'll go with you.
00:43:31Ava, thank you.
00:43:32I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:36Yeah, okay, bye.
00:43:40Ava, where are you going?
00:43:42If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:45Who will choose the actors?
00:43:50You'll handle it.
00:44:00Fuck!
00:44:01Ava!
00:44:02What are they doing here?
00:44:04First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:44:06All right, let's get this casting underway.
00:44:21I can't love you anymore.
00:44:24Please, please, let me go.
00:44:27Let us bury our love in the past.
00:44:33And never look back.
00:44:35Cut.
00:44:35Next.
00:44:38What's going on?
00:44:40I didn't finish my lines.
00:44:41That's enough.
00:44:43He gave me zero emotion.
00:44:44I put my heart into that scene.
00:44:46He gave me nothing.
00:44:47If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:44:51But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:44:57Her acting.
00:45:01Makes me want to puke.
00:45:03Next.
00:45:04Next.
00:45:05That's our turn.
00:45:07Hey.
00:45:08You got this.
00:45:12Whoa!
00:45:13Sorry.
00:45:14This woman is not an actress.
00:45:16She has no right to audition.
00:45:18What's going on here?
00:45:29It's simple.
00:45:30I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:45:32It'll help me give a better performance.
00:45:36This is V's casting.
00:45:37Come on.
00:45:38Only pros allowed.
00:45:39You just gonna let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:45:42Once this leaks, V's reputation will be ruined.
00:45:46And you'll be fired.
00:45:47Sophia, you are not V.
00:45:48How could you know what she cares about?
00:45:51What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:45:55Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:45:58No, you can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:46:05That's what a true actor does.
00:46:08All right.
00:46:17You're up.
00:46:22You know, you say you love me, but...
00:46:25I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:46:27Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:46:29Who says that I can't?
00:46:32I can see your strength.
00:46:35Your kindness and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:46:38I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:46:42I know we've only known each other a short time,
00:46:44but I feel like I see you better than I see myself.
00:46:48And I love you.
00:46:51Before you go, can you kiss me with me?
00:46:56Bitch really knows how to fake it.
00:47:10Now for the official casting results.
00:47:16It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:47:18It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:47:29Who cares about acting anyway?
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32I mean, acting is nothing, really.
00:47:35Money is how you get the role.
00:47:39Etollow.
00:47:41Effie.
00:47:42Kevin.
00:47:45William.
00:47:45Oh my God, what?
00:47:47That's incredible.
00:47:48William, you're amazing.
00:47:50Why am I not on this list?
00:47:51They're still going.
00:47:53Okay.
00:47:54It's okay.
00:47:54Uh, last, Ava.
00:47:56What?
00:47:57No way.
00:47:59Ava, you got in as well.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:05This isn't fair.
00:48:07The list has been terrible.
00:48:08There is cheating going on in this casting.
00:48:11Where's your proof?
00:48:12Without anything to back it up, that's slandering.
00:48:15Proof?
00:48:16Well, um, I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role.
00:48:21Yeah, and they've already taken the money.
00:48:22So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:48:30So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:48:32Oh, is that so?
00:48:33You know, it's funny you say that, because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:48:39Wait, what are you talking about?
00:48:41Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:48:43I, um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:48:50Liam, please don't get carried over it.
00:48:52No, it's true, okay?
00:48:53I'll prove it to you.
00:48:54Prove it?
00:48:55You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:48:59You know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie.
00:49:02Wait, wait a minute.
00:49:09Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:49:10My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:49:29Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:49:31A washed-up actor trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:49:37The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:49:40Got connections everywhere, and this nobody is pretending to be one.
00:49:47Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:49:51Katzenberg?
00:49:53Oh my God, he's William's creditor.
00:49:54Oh, shit.
00:50:05Grandpa?
00:50:06Why is he here?
00:50:07Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:18Oh no, this is bad.
00:50:19Mr. Johnson, it is a pleasure to see you.
00:50:24Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:50:26You got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:50:29We're working on it.
00:50:31May I ask it?
00:50:33Why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:50:35We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:50:38What?
00:50:39Wait, wait, wait.
00:50:39Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:50:42Because somebody here is using the Katzenberg name.
00:50:46Oh, now you have my attention.
00:50:48And I'm very curious.
00:50:50Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:50:53Him.
00:51:00Sir?
00:51:08What the hell?
00:51:10You're chasing me down now?
00:51:11I already paid you back.
00:51:18Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:51:24I already paid...
00:51:25Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:51:29This is my grandson.
00:51:32William Katzenberg.
00:51:34Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:51:38What does this mean?
00:51:39No, no, no, no.
00:51:40This can't be what...
00:51:42Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose an heir.
00:51:45Oh, so this is how it is.
00:51:51Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies to launder their dirty money.
00:51:56Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:51:58Slandering us like that will land you in prison.
00:52:01Daniel, before you jump to conclusions, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:52:05You two have been working together this whole time?
00:52:27Cameron, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:52:30Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:52:34I am V's producer.
00:52:36Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:52:39What's in it for you?
00:52:41I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:52:43And you know what?
00:52:44I take my odors from her.
00:52:48What are you talking about?
00:52:50Honestly, like, who even is V?
00:52:52I mean, I don't know her.
00:52:55I've got no beef with her.
00:52:56So why would she send you to ruin me?
00:53:00So you would like me to unlift it all and reveal who V is today?
00:53:08Well, Aver, is that okay?
00:53:10Yeah.
00:53:11In the flesh.
00:53:13That's correct.
00:53:14This is the mysterious, the fabulous, the fearless V.
00:53:18And she's also the heiress of the green family to fortune.
00:53:26Oh, it's V.
00:53:27Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:53:29Famous director and heiress.
00:53:31V's got the perfect life.
00:53:39No.
00:53:40No, no, she can't be.
00:53:41That's impossible.
00:53:43You idiot.
00:53:44You stupid idiot.
00:53:46I trusted you and I could have been with Ava.
00:53:50I swear, I swear I am going to kill you.
00:53:53You want to try?
00:53:54You want to fight?
00:53:55Are you crazy?
00:53:56I'm going to kill you.
00:53:57FBI, everyone free.
00:54:07What are you doing here?
00:54:09Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:54:10From here on out, you have the right to remain silent.
00:54:12Anything you say will be used against you in court.
00:54:14What are you talking about?
00:54:19I...
00:54:19Who told you?
00:54:22Who do you think?
00:54:24You.
00:54:26Get them out of here.
00:54:27Go of me!
00:54:29Let go!
00:54:30Fuck you!
00:54:31Okay?
00:54:31Get off me!
00:54:41Get off!
00:54:43Ava, so you're not only V, but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:54:48I mean, I knew something was off.
00:54:51Yes, okay, I haven't been completely honest with you, but...
00:54:54And you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:54:59I've wanted to be honest, but do you know how lies can talk on top of each other?
00:55:05Look, it's all over now.
00:55:06I'm sorry, but I can't move past this.
00:55:08If we can't even be honest with each other, then maybe...
00:55:10Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:55:15Ava, I can see how much you care for each other.
00:55:20Thank you, Frank.
00:55:22This is between me and him.
00:55:24Ava...
00:55:25Are you really leaving me?
00:55:29William, this is always a contract.
00:55:33Now it's expired.
00:55:34It's okay, son.
00:55:41You can do this.
00:55:42Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:56:04Huh?
00:56:34Ava, please don't go.
00:56:44Ava, you're leaving us already.
00:57:04Ava, can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:57:10Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:57:15I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:57:19Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:57:21You deserve a bigger world.
00:57:23Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:57:28No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think, I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:57:34If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:57:38As long as you're happy.
00:57:39Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:57:43A guy with eight-pack abs still doesn't.
00:57:44Anyway, my driver's waiting.
00:57:50I'll, um, I'll see you in a bit.
00:57:52Oh, geez.
00:57:55Good luck, baby.
00:57:57Love you.
00:58:04Oh, she's leaving us.
00:58:06Let's go.

00:58:19Ava Green, a long time, no sleep.
00:58:23Ava Green, a long time, no sleep.
00:58:28You
00:58:58William, I'll admit it. I'm not like I was with my ex.
00:59:02Walking away from you is way harder, but without me...
00:59:06Can you still feel that spark?
00:59:10Hey, Henry, why haven't we set off yet? We're gonna be late.

01:02:40Vee, what was the inspiration for your latest?
01:02:44Is it true that the movie was based on reality events?
01:02:47Miss Vee, over here.
01:02:51Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:02:55The question everybody's been wondering,

01:03:34Or should I say Vee?
01:03:36It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:03:38It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:03:41So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:03:48Ava.
01:03:50Since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:03:53You've been flirting with death.
01:03:54On the day of your movie premiere,
01:03:58and on your very special day,
01:03:59I have to ask...
01:04:00I have to ask...

01:04:07William...
01:04:08No.
01:04:12You have to marry me.
01:04:19You have to marry me.
01:04:30You have to marry me.
