00:00:00All right, here are your appetizers, and your entrees will arrive shortly.
00:00:10She looks like the woman who's been out with Daniel Roth.
00:00:14Daniel Roth? You mean Hollywood's top emerging producer?
00:00:19There's no way she'd work at a place like this.
00:00:22You're right.
00:00:24Ava, what are you doing? Daydreaming?
00:00:27Why haven't you served that table over by the window yet?
00:00:29They've been waiting for 30 minutes.
00:00:32No, no, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.
00:00:34Get it done, or go waste time at a different restaurant.
00:00:43Psst, Ava.
00:00:46Didn't I tell you if I don't call for you, don't show up?
00:00:49I have some news for you. Your husband, Mr. Daniel Roth, I hear he's hosting a banquet here tonight.
00:00:55I think he's even bringing along his cast from his latest production.
00:00:58I know. Today's our anniversary, and I've been supporting him for three years, so tonight I'm going to reveal my true identity.
00:01:07Sam, it's finally my time.
00:01:10Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:11Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:15Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:39I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:55Yeah.
00:01:56Aren't you worried your wife's gonna find out?
00:01:58Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now.
00:02:02Tonight, you're gonna sign those divorce papers.
00:02:05But, babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:02:11So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:15Surprise!
00:02:25Surprise!
00:02:27Ava?
00:02:28What are you doing here?
00:02:32Oh, babe.
00:02:33Your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:36Daniel?
00:02:38What is this?
00:02:39Today's her anniversary.
00:02:40Who is she?
00:02:42Well, since you're already here, meet Sofia, my future.
00:02:48What? I'm your wife!
00:02:53Let's be real.
00:02:54If you hadn't thrown yourself at me, we'd never be married.
00:02:57That's a lie.
00:02:58I was there for you and I supported you when no one else would.
00:03:01God without me, you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:04My company?
00:03:05All you did was drain me.
00:03:11Sofia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart.
00:03:15She's driven.
00:03:17And she's gonna take our company to the top.
00:03:21What could she possibly do for you?
00:03:23I've just been cast as a lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:28And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:31You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:35Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:39And trust me.
00:03:41She would never pick you.
00:03:43I shouldn't pick you.
00:03:53I shouldn't pick you.
00:03:55You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:58Don't be a sore loser.
00:03:59How are you saying this?
00:04:01She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:04:03I know she's talking about big casting.
00:04:05He liars.
00:04:06Exactly.
00:04:07No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:09Too embarrassing.
00:04:11Yeah.
00:04:12What spell did she use to leech him off for three years?
00:04:14That's enough, Ava.
00:04:16Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:18Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:23Hmm?
00:04:25Papers?
00:04:27Grandpa?
00:04:28Listen, everything has been arranged with the Bryant era.
00:04:31As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:36Understood, Grandpa?
00:04:37I won't let you down.
00:04:40There.
00:04:41We're finished.
00:04:42Perfect.
00:04:43And while we're at it, why don't 20 grand consider a payment for three years in my bed?
00:04:51Because that's all three years in my bed.
00:04:54Because that's all you're worth.
00:05:02Oh my god, Daniel, that's Versace!
00:05:04You crazy woman!
00:05:14Who the hell are you?
00:05:23She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:24Light pink dress?
00:05:29That must be her.
00:05:32Apologize to the lady.
00:05:34Let go of me!
00:05:36Who are you?
00:05:37I could be calling the cops!
00:05:38This is assault!
00:05:39Be my guest.
00:05:40God!
00:05:41All right!
00:05:42All right!
00:05:43All right!
00:05:44God!
00:05:46Oh, you had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:49Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim
00:05:52while you were using my money to pay off your side, bitch!
00:05:55You know what?
00:05:56You're absolutely right.
00:05:57And I'm not just keeping him.

00:14:49Um.
00:14:54Oh God, Ava!
00:15:03What are you doing?
00:15:05Who are they?
00:15:14I'm her!
00:15:15They are my best friend's parents.
00:15:18They've come to see if the house needs any repairs.
00:15:21Right?
00:15:22And this is...
00:15:23He's, um, um...
00:15:28Nice to meet you.
00:15:33I'm, uh, Ava's fiancé.
00:15:36What?
00:15:37Yeah, um, he's my fiancé, William.
00:15:46Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:16:06Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:16:09Okay, let's just say...
00:16:10I got myself a husband.
00:16:13You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:16:17Pretty much.
00:16:18Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:16:21Oh, whatever.
00:16:22All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:16:23The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:29Daniel, and that shameless bitch's relatives won't even exist.
00:16:33What?
00:16:33No, we're not doing that.
00:16:34Why not?
00:16:36Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:39Your dad and I will tear them apart and feed them to the wolves.
00:16:43Okay, Mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:47Tonight at the director's, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:51Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:54So, William, which family are you from?
00:17:05I, uh...
00:17:08I am...
00:17:10Which family are you from?
00:17:18I, uh...
00:17:22I am...
00:17:26Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree.
00:17:32A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:37A rising star?
00:17:43You still fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes.
00:17:47Haven't you had enough of their pathetic experience?
00:17:49And now look where you are.
00:17:53Okay, that's enough.
00:17:54We gotta get going.
00:17:55Let's go.
00:17:56That's okay.
00:17:57Bye.
00:18:05I'm sorry.
00:18:06I know those words hurt.
00:18:12It's fine.
00:18:14You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents?
00:18:17It's like you see them as your own.
00:18:20Uh...
00:18:21My best friend's family owe us, so...
00:18:24Uh, they owe you?
00:18:26Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:28Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:34After that, they made it big, so we just kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:39Hmm.
00:18:41Hmm.
00:18:51Big news.
00:18:52Emanent and elusive Oscar-winning director, known as Director V, winner of last year's Palm
00:18:57Door, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear, is set to make a major public appearance this week
00:19:02and reveal their next film project.
00:19:04Hey, I've got to go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:19:15Oh, I'm heading out, too.
00:19:16You want a ride?
00:19:17No, I'm going pretty far, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:32This invitation must have fell.
00:19:33Well, glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:49Ava?
00:19:51Hey, what are you doing here?
00:19:53I, um, I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:58Oh, what are you doing here?
00:20:00Funny coincidence, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:20:03Oh, that's great.
00:20:05For a moment, I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:20:07Oh, God, no.
00:20:08I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:20:10I could never be in the film industry.
00:20:13I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:20:15I'd love to, but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:20:19Oh, I mean, don't worry.
00:20:21You'll get there soon enough.
00:20:22You can come with me.
00:20:26Tonight, then.
00:20:27Oh, great.
00:20:28Great.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:42Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:47Please go ahead, man.
00:20:48Oh, shit.
00:20:55Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:57Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:59You lost it?
00:21:00Or you never had one?
00:21:01You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:21:02Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:21:04I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:21:06Ava?
00:21:07Where are you?
00:21:09You're stalking us?
00:21:11Take a hint.
00:21:13That's alone.
00:21:14It's like wherever we are, you're just there stalking us.
00:21:25Weird.
00:21:26Why do I have two?
00:21:30Ava?
00:21:37It's like wherever we are, you're just stalking us.
00:21:41You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:43What?
00:21:43You really think they're just going to let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:48But you should get over yourself.
00:21:51Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in.
00:21:56He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:58Babe, it's just a million.
00:22:00Like soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:22:04Billions.
00:22:05Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:22:07Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:22:09And your dreams are real sweet.
00:22:11We and Ava, alright?
00:22:13The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:22:17So, leave us alone.
00:22:20Because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:22:23I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:28Oh, shit.
00:22:30Mrs. Ra.
00:22:31You're disgusting.
00:22:32I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:22:39Oh, shit.
00:22:41Mrs. Ra.
00:22:42If you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:45I'm, um, I'm actually divorced.
00:23:03I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:23:06You see that one?
00:23:08That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:23:09Alright, Miss Gray.
00:23:10Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:23:12No worries.
00:23:12Just go let the rocks in.
00:23:14No worries.
00:23:15My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:23:18Um, I've made a mistake.
00:23:20Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:23:22Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:23:26Oh, babe.
00:23:28Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32You.
00:23:32You're my superstar.
00:23:34She's not here.
00:23:49Yes, I guess.
00:23:52Of course.
00:23:53Why would Ava have an invite?
00:23:57Stupid.
00:23:58Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, to be, graces the stage.
00:24:08Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director, V graces the stage.
00:24:29V, she feels so familiar, almost like Ava.
00:24:37Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:24:39I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:24:43It's been three years in her last project.
00:24:45Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:48This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:52No way.
00:24:53Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:56Yeah, you're right.
00:24:58I've married her for three years.
00:25:00I know her inside and out.
00:25:04She can never compare to V.
00:25:07Idiot.
00:25:08Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:25:13It's too much of a coincidence.
00:25:15I need to check this out.
00:25:21Oh, my God.
00:25:22V.
00:25:23Baby.
00:25:23Is V walking towards me?
00:25:25Is she going to kiss me?
00:25:26Of course.
00:25:27I've always said you're my diamond.
00:25:29You're going to get your big break.
00:25:31My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:32Because of the cover.
00:25:41You're going to get your big break.
00:25:43My investment's going to pay off.
00:25:45Because of the cover.
00:25:48Oh, my God.
00:25:49Is V okay?
00:25:50Dammit.
00:25:50Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:52This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:54Are you okay?
00:25:57William?
00:25:58No, no, no, no.
00:25:58I can't let him know who I am.
00:26:00I am...
00:26:01Oh, hey.
00:26:03No, wait, wait.
00:26:04No.
00:26:04Oh.
00:26:05It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:06It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:07I have seen this bracelet before.
00:26:17I'll be fine after some rest.
00:26:23Ava?
00:26:24Could V be Ava?
00:26:27Excuse me, Mrs. Roth.
00:26:38That's me.
00:26:39Who are you?
00:26:40Director V wants you to audition
00:26:42as a male actor in room 301.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48V wants me to audition.
00:26:49This is going to be my big break.
00:26:51I'm on me.
00:26:52Oh.
00:26:52Everything's done?
00:27:05Everything is gone.
00:27:12James?
00:27:14Whoa, whoa.
00:27:15Look who it is.
00:27:17Oh, babe.
00:27:18I have missed you since we broke up.
00:27:20Hell yeah.
00:27:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:31Well, I...
00:27:31Hmm.
00:27:32Hmm.
00:27:41The audition for Director V starts now.
00:27:44The scene is called The Affair.
00:27:46You must play a couple having a secret meeting
00:27:49while each has their own family.
00:27:51Cameras are set up.
00:27:53Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:56All right.
00:27:57Let's do this.
00:27:59As you wish.
00:28:07Honey.
00:28:09I'm so sorry, Emily.
00:28:11I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep.
00:28:14So I'm good.
00:28:16I hope you weren't waiting too long.
00:28:21I hope you weren't waiting too long.
00:28:29The stream is officially live.
00:28:31Let's add another play to the game.
00:28:33Camp up the drama.
00:28:38Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:28:41This show's about to get good.
00:28:43Get out of here.
00:28:58Your husband finds out.
00:28:59Don't talk about him.
00:29:01RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
00:29:04Okay, fine.
00:29:08YOU BITCH!
00:29:17YOU BITCH!
00:29:19Daniel!
00:29:20No, no, it's not you!
00:29:20No, Daniel! Stop!
00:29:22You just shut the hell up!
00:29:23It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:29:25This is an audition!
00:29:26You expect me to believe that?
00:29:27You're auditioning, you're acting
00:29:29While you're naked in this room, kissing your ex.
00:29:32Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:29:33She asked me to audition.
00:29:35James, he's an actor, too.
00:29:36He's helping with the audition.
00:29:37Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:29:40Who sent the script, you asshole?
00:29:42Come on.
00:29:43It's an affair, okay?
00:29:45We're just, I'm an audition.
00:29:46It's for the audition.
00:29:47Kiss it, God.
00:29:49What?
00:29:50You really think he could intimidate me?
00:29:52I'm doing this for your company.
00:29:53I'm doing this for V.
00:29:55Come on.
00:29:56Save it, all right?
00:29:57Why don't you hear, where is she?
00:30:00I mean, all your talent, you think she wouldn't notice you by now?
00:30:04What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:30:08Is it New V Project?
00:30:09Fuck up.
00:30:10You know that if it wasn't for me, you'd come to be underground.
00:30:14Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:30:16You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:30:21Oh, and you're so perfect.
00:30:23You're cheating on your wife with me, you asshole.
00:30:27What the fuck?
00:30:35What the fuck?
00:30:45Yeah, you wanna get it?
00:30:46This doesn't look like acting.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49This feels way too real.
00:30:52Wait a minute, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:54And his new girlfriend?
00:30:55What the fuck?
00:30:58Yeah.
00:30:58You want to get it?
00:30:59Ah!
00:31:00Ah!
00:31:01Ah!
00:31:02Ah!
00:31:03Ah!
00:31:04Ah!
00:31:05Ah!
00:31:06Ah!
00:31:07Ah!
00:31:08Ah!
00:31:09Ah!
00:31:10Ah!
00:31:11Ah!
00:31:12Ah!
00:31:13Ah!
00:31:14Ah!
00:31:15Ah!
00:31:16Ah!
00:31:17Ah!
00:31:18Geez, this is a next level of violence, Art.
00:31:21Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:31:24Wait a second.
00:31:25This is clearly revenge.
00:31:27The livestream of Ava's ex and his mistress?
00:31:30Could it be Ava's actual dream?
00:31:39Ah!
00:31:40Ah!
00:31:41Wait!
00:31:42Stop!
00:31:43Stop!
00:31:44I was paid to be here.
00:31:45To play along.
00:31:46I don't think V has anything to do with this.
00:31:48What?!
00:31:50It's blowing up on TikTok.
00:31:52Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:31:54Who even played?
00:31:56Who's behind this?
00:31:57Who's posting this online?
00:31:59Ava?
00:32:02You...
00:32:03You set me up!
00:32:04Hey, back off.
00:32:05You posted this?
00:32:06You humiliated us?
00:32:08Humiliated?
00:32:09Daniel, did you ever care?
00:32:10Cause I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:32:12Hey, wasn't this your big break into the street?
00:32:15Now the whole world knows you.
00:32:16Guess you're famous, huh?
00:32:17You were gonna pay for this!
00:32:19Fuck!
00:32:20Run!
00:32:21Security!
00:32:22They're fighting!
00:32:23Daniel!
00:32:24Whoa!
00:32:25Whoa!
00:32:26Three years of marriage and I've never felt so... protected.
00:32:40Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if...
00:32:49Event is over.
00:32:50No!
00:32:51Please stay tuned for more information.
00:32:54Ticket money down the drain!
00:32:56That was gonna be my big break!
00:32:58I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:33:00I just wanna see what amazing director look like.
00:33:05Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:33:08What is up with that video online?
00:33:09What video?
00:33:10The video of your ex and that woman.
00:33:13Why is it posted from V's account?
00:33:15Why is V trying to take them down?
00:33:16Are you...
00:33:17Okay, okay.
00:33:20Look, that's because I'm...
00:33:25Sorry.
00:33:27Yeah?
00:33:28Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:33:31We dug into it.
00:33:38Turns out Miss Eve's just a regular housewife.
00:33:41Got it.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:46I overreacted.
00:33:47I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:33:52And it just scared me a little bit.
00:33:54About to marry?
00:33:56We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:33:59Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract.
00:34:03And I thought we were so much more.
00:34:07You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:34:09And I thought you could feel it too.
00:34:11I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:34:15If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:34:18I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:34:29If anyone hurts my fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:34:34Sorry to interrupt, sir.
00:34:41But the Master wants to see you.
00:34:46Hey, wait, who are you?
00:34:47I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:34:50My gran...
00:34:52There's a lot I need to explain.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:11What?
00:35:12Oh.
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:14Um.
00:35:15Why am I the only one allowed in?
00:35:16Why can't William come?
00:35:17Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:35:18How dare you say that about him?
00:35:19He owes you money, right?
00:35:20What if I said yes?
00:35:21How much?
00:35:22Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:35:23Pay it off?
00:35:24It's no smaller, man.
00:35:25How much?
00:35:26Well, one million.
00:35:27One million.
00:35:28One million.
00:35:29One million.
00:35:30One million.
00:35:31One million.
00:35:32One million.
00:35:33One million.
00:35:34One million.
00:35:35One million.
00:35:36One million.
00:35:37One million.
00:35:38One million.
00:35:39One million.
00:35:40One million.
00:35:48One million.
00:35:49That's it.
00:35:50What?
00:35:51Just a million.
00:35:52You don't know the future.
00:35:53One million is just the interest.
00:35:56The principal sum is ten million.
00:35:59Ten million?
00:36:00What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:36:02I don't care.
00:36:03I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:36:06I can't.
00:36:07You're a liar.
00:36:08Not only are you broke, but you're a liar.
00:36:09You're a divorced woman.
00:36:10You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:11You've been waiting tables.
00:36:12What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:13How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:14Did you investigate me?
00:36:15Yes, I did.
00:36:16In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:17No matter who the debtor is, where they are or they're with, I know everything.
00:36:18You're a lawyer.
00:36:19What?
00:36:20You're a divorce woman.
00:36:21You're a divorce woman.
00:36:22You've been divorced for three years.
00:36:23You've been waiting tables.
00:36:24What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:36:27How did you know I was divorced?
00:36:29Did you investigate me?
00:36:32Yes, I did.
00:36:33In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:37No matter who the debtor is, where they are or they're with, I know everything.
00:36:41I know everything.
00:36:50Did you investigate me?
00:36:51Yes, I did.
00:36:52In our line of work, information is everything.
00:36:55No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:37:01Try digging a little deeper.
00:37:03My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:37:06And the divorce settlement?
00:37:08It's hefty.
00:37:12What?
00:37:14You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:37:17Why did you pay such a hell for that scumbag?
00:37:19Maybe to you, he's just a broke.
00:37:21When I needed him, he was there.
00:37:23Money's one thing, but William?
00:37:26He's worth more than all of it.
00:37:33Geez.
00:37:34It's as if destiny is pulling strings.
00:37:38How did William meet someone this perfect?
00:37:41Her ex must be a total jerk.
00:37:48Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:37:52Now.
00:37:53Ava, are you okay?
00:38:06I'm fine.
00:38:07You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:38:10What?
00:38:11Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:38:12We've been working with him for years.
00:38:13I don't know.
00:38:14Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:38:15I mean, it has to be.
00:38:16This is all on Ava.
00:38:17I...
00:38:18I...
00:38:19I...
00:38:20I'm gonna kill her.
00:38:21I swear.
00:38:22I hope you do.
00:38:23I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:38:25We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:38:26Oh, Daniel.
00:38:27Please, calm down.
00:38:28I've just gotten out of here.
00:38:29I know.
00:38:30I'm sorry.
00:38:31I'm sorry.
00:38:32I'm sorry.
00:38:33I'm sorry.
00:38:34I'm sorry.
00:38:35I'm sorry.
00:38:36I'm sorry.
00:38:37I'm sorry.
00:38:38I'm sorry.
00:38:39I'm sorry.
00:38:40I'm sorry.
00:38:41I'm sorry.
00:38:42I'm sorry.
00:38:43I'm sorry.
00:38:44I'm sorry.
00:38:45I'm sorry.
00:38:46I'm sorry.
00:38:47Calm down.
00:38:48I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:38:52So, if I can get her approval...
00:38:56Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket a price.
00:39:02And Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:39:05Oh, you genius!
00:39:14Sam?
00:39:15The casting call is tomorrow.
00:39:17I just heard.
00:39:18Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:39:21They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:39:23Even so,
00:39:24I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:39:27What do you mean?
00:39:28Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:39:30She can buy a role in my new film.
00:39:32I'm just too nervous.
00:39:53I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:39:57Do you like baking?
00:39:58Do you like baking?
00:40:11Oh, no.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:13Oh, no.
00:40:14Oh.
00:40:15Oh.
00:40:16Oh.
00:40:17Oh.
00:40:18Sorry.
00:40:19I'm...
00:40:20I'm Cameron.
00:40:21The producer of his movie.
00:40:22So, once I pay...
00:40:23Oh, no.
00:40:24Oh.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:26Oh.
00:40:27Oh.
00:40:28Oh.
00:40:29Oh.
00:40:30Sorry.
00:40:31I'm...
00:40:32I'm Cameron.
00:40:33The producer of his movie.
00:40:35So, once I pay...
00:40:36Oh, no.
00:40:37Oh.
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:39Sophie's got the role.
00:40:40Right?
00:40:41Of course.
00:40:42Oh.
00:40:43Oh.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:45Oh.
00:40:46Oh.
00:40:47Oh.
00:40:48Oh.
00:40:49Oh.
00:40:50Oh.
00:40:51Oh.
00:40:52Oh.
00:40:53Oh.
00:40:54Oh.
00:40:55Oh.
00:40:56Oh.
00:40:57Oh.
00:40:58Sorry.
00:40:59I'm.
00:41:00Oh.
00:41:01Oh.
00:41:02Oh.
00:41:03Oh.
00:41:04Oh.
00:41:05Oh.
00:41:06This is perfect.
00:41:18What's going on?
00:41:19Uh, nothing.
00:41:21Okay?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:30Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much.
00:41:34No, you're not even tipsy and I'm, I'm fine.
00:41:38All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:41:41Yeah, sure thing.
00:41:50Can I kiss you?
00:42:04You should probably take that.
00:42:10Oh.
00:42:12Why the hell?
00:42:14I thought I was just starting to feel it.
00:42:18Well, look at you back in character.
00:42:21I think my job here is done.
00:42:24Time to get some sleep and get some sleep.
00:42:25Get the showers.
00:42:25Get the showers.
00:42:25Get the showers.
00:42:34Wow, Ava, you're stunning.
00:42:43No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:42:49Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but God, I can't wait to see Daniel
00:42:54in Sofia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:43:02Hello?
00:43:04Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:43:07What's wrong?
00:43:08Has something happened?
00:43:10No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:43:14Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:43:18Uh, um, uh.
00:43:22Could you be my partner?
00:43:29Um, all right, um, yeah, no, I mean, of course, I'll go with you.
00:43:35Ava, thank you.
00:43:36I'll send you the location for casting.
00:43:40Yeah, okay, bye.
00:43:44Ava, where are you going?
00:43:47If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:43:50Who will choose the actors?
00:43:50Okay.
00:43:54You'll hit me.
00:43:55Me?
00:44:10Fuck!
00:44:11Ava!
00:44:12What are they doing here?
00:44:13First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:44:16All right, let's get this casting underway.
00:44:31I can't love you anymore.
00:44:33Please, please, let me go.
00:44:36Let us bury our love in the past.
00:44:42And never look back.
00:44:44Cut.
00:44:46Next.
00:44:48What's going on?
00:44:49I didn't finish my lines.
00:44:51That's enough.
00:44:52He gave me zero emotion.
00:44:54I put my heart into that scene.
00:44:56He gave me nothing.
00:44:56If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:45:00But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:45:06Her acting.
00:45:09Makes me want to puke.
00:45:12Next.
00:45:13That's our turn.
00:45:15Hey.
00:45:17You got this.
00:45:21Whoa!
00:45:22Sorry.
00:45:23This woman is not an actress.
00:45:25She has no right to audition.
00:45:26What's going on here?
00:45:38It's simple.
00:45:39I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:45:41It'll help me give a better performance.
00:45:44This is V's casting.
00:45:46Come on.
00:45:46Only prose allowed.
00:45:48You just gonna let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:45:51Once this leaks, V's reputation will be ruined.
00:45:54And you'll be fired.
00:45:55Sophia, you are not V.
00:45:57How could you know what she cares about?
00:46:00What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:46:04Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:46:07No, you can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:46:14That's what a true actor does.
00:46:24All right.
00:46:25You're up.
00:46:26You know, you say you love me, but I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:46:35Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:46:38Who that I can't?
00:46:39I can see your strength, your kindness and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:46:46I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:46:49I know we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I see you better than I see myself.
00:46:56And I love you.
00:46:59Before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:47:02But yeah, I'm sorry.
00:47:02Whatever.

01:02:58Miss V, over here.
01:03:02V, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:03:06The question everybody's hearing, is V alone at this big premiere?
01:03:12Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:03:16And where is that special someone?
01:03:19He...

01:03:52So I thought I'd...
01:03:54Surprise you in a different way.
01:03:59Ava.
01:04:00Since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:04:03You've been flirting with death.
01:04:05On the day of your movie premiere,
01:04:08and on your very special day,
01:04:10I have to ask...
01:04:15Will you marry me?
