Short filmTranscript
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 Ra? 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, 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.
00:00:46Didn'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.
00:01:28Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:51I hear you through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:54Yeah.
00:01:55Aren't you worried your wife's going to find out?
00:01:58Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now.
00:02:01Tonight, she's going to sign those divorce papers.
00:02:04But, babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:02:09So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:21Surprise!
00:02:22Ava, what are you doing here?
00:02:26Oh, babe, I see that your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:33Daniel, what is this?
00:02:36Today's her anniversary. Who is she?
00:02:39Well, since you're already here, meet Sofia, my future.
00:02:44What? I'm your wife!
00:02:47Let's be real.
00:02:51If you hadn't thrown yourself at me, we'd never be married.
00:02:54That's a lie.
00:02:55I was there for you and I supported you when no one else would.
00:02:58Without me, you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:01My company?
00:03:02All you did was drain me.
00:03:08Sofia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart.
00:03:12She's driven and she's going to take our company to the top.
00:03:17What could she possibly do for you?
00:03:20I've just been cast as the lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:24And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:28You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:33Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:37And trust me, she would never pick you.
00:03:42She'd never pick you.
00:03:47You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:51Don't be a swirly user.
00:03:54How are you saying this?
00:03:56She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:58I know she's talking about the casting.
00:03:59He lies.
00:04:00Exactly.
00:04:01No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:04Too embarrassing.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06What spell did she use to leech him off for three years?
00:04:08That's enough, Ava.
00:04:10Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:13Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:19Papers?
00:04:22Grandpa?
00:04:23Listen, everything has been arranged with the Bryant heiress.
00:04:26As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:31Understood, Grandpa?
00:04:32I won't let you down.
00:04:35There.
00:04:36We're finished.
00:04:37Perfect.
00:04:38And while we're at it, why don't you have 20 grand?
00:04:43Consider a payment for three years in my bed.
00:04:45Because that's all you're worth.
00:04:54Oh my god damn you, that's Versace!
00:04:56You crazy woman!
00:05:03You crazy woman!
00:05:06Who the hell are you?
00:05:07She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:14Light pink dress?
00:05:18That must be her.
00:05:21Apologize to the lady.
00:05:23Let go of me!
00:05:25Who are you?
00:05:26I could be calling the cops!
00:05:27This is assault!
00:05:28Who are you my guest?
00:05:29God!
00:05:30All right!
00:05:31All right!
00:05:33God!
00:05:35Oh, you had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:38Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim
00:05:41while you were using my money to pay off your side bitch!
00:05:44You know what?
00:05:45You're absolutely right.
00:05:47And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:50I'm marrying him.
00:05:59What?
00:06:06I'm Ava.
00:06:07You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:06:10Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:12Actor?
00:06:13I, uh...
00:06:14Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:15I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:18Just, name your price.
00:06:20Excuse me?
00:06:21Oh, come on.
00:06:22You wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:26William.
00:06:29Um...
00:06:32You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:36Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:38Perfect.
00:06:40Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:06:48Um...
00:06:50Should...
00:06:51Should we...
00:06:52There you go.
00:06:53There you go.
00:06:54Hey, Grandpa.
00:06:55Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:06:56I can't get in.
00:06:57That's the idea.
00:06:58How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:06:59Miss Bryan told me...
00:07:00Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:01I can't get in.
00:07:02That's the idea.
00:07:03How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:05Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:06Wait, what?
00:07:07Wait, what?
00:07:08So...
00:07:09She's not here.
00:07:10She's not here.
00:07:11She's not here.
00:07:12I can't get in.
00:07:13I can't get in.
00:07:14I can't get in.
00:07:15I can't get in.
00:07:16I can't get in.
00:07:17I can't get in.
00:07:18I can't get in.
00:07:19Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:20Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:21I can't get in.
00:07:22I can't get in.
00:07:23That's the idea.
00:07:24How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:27Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:31Wait, what?
00:07:36So...
00:07:38She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:40Three years.
00:07:59Finally back.
00:08:06Hello?
00:08:07Hey!
00:08:08It's me!
00:08:10Oh, um...
00:08:11Hey!
00:08:12What's up?
00:08:13I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:15Hi.
00:08:24Hey!
00:08:25Um...
00:08:26So what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:29Well, uh...
00:08:31Um...
00:08:32I've been out of work.
00:08:34I couldn't pay my rent.
00:08:36So the landlord kicked me out.
00:08:40Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:42Come on.
00:08:52You live here.
00:08:55Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:58Uh...
00:08:59Uh...
00:09:00No.
00:09:01This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:02I'm just half-sitting.
00:09:03Oh.
00:09:04Uh...
00:09:05Make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07Yeah.
00:09:08Damn.
00:09:09Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:10Three years since what?
00:09:11Ah!
00:09:12Oh!
00:09:13Oh!
00:09:14Oh!
00:09:15Oh!
00:09:16Oh!
00:09:17Oh!
00:09:18Um...
00:09:19Um...
00:09:20Um...
00:09:21Yeah, man.
00:09:30Tim, totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:43Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:54Do you want pizza?
00:09:57Yeah, yeah. Pizza works.
00:10:01Alright.
00:10:07I'll go make an order.
00:10:09Great.
00:10:13Oh, you're...
00:10:21Hey, Peter. Run a check on this girl.
00:10:30Oh, my God. Mike.
00:10:38What?
00:10:39Eva has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:42What the?
00:10:45I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:49I swear if he heard my Eva.
00:10:52That's it.
00:10:54Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me? They're dead.
00:10:57They're dead.
00:11:15Hey, you okay?
00:11:16You okay?
00:11:18Um...
00:11:19Yeah, it's my stomach.
00:11:21Here.
00:11:22Let's just get you down.
00:11:26Hey.
00:11:47You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:11:52Other than my parents.
00:11:55Yeah.
00:11:57Do I think you ate something bad?
00:12:00It's just an allergy.
00:12:02I probably should have checked if the pizza had any soy before eating like half of it.
00:12:07But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:23What are you doing?
00:12:29What are you doing?
00:12:31You said you needed some rest.
00:12:33I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:34It's okay. I can walk by myself.
00:12:37No, you can't.
00:12:38No, you can't.
00:13:00Nice.
00:13:02No, you're dying.
00:13:03No, you're dying.
00:13:04You're getting cold.
00:13:05No, you're dying.
00:13:07No, you're not dying.
00:13:17You're dying.
00:13:19No, you're dying.
00:13:21No, you're dying.
00:13:23Now, no, I'm going to bed.
00:13:24Uh, you're awake.
00:13:50Yeah, I am.
00:13:51I just got up.
00:13:52Um, do you have an apron or you'll also get hot?
00:14:02Of course, um, just let me help you.
00:14:20Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:14:38Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:14:48Who are they?
00:14:49I'm her.
00:14:50They are my best friend's parents.
00:14:53They've come to see if the house needs any repairs, right?
00:14:57And this is...
00:14:58He's, um, um...
00:15:04Nice to meet you.
00:15:09I'm, uh, Ava's fiancé.
00:15:12What?
00:15:12Yeah, um, he's my fiancé, William.
00:15:21Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:15:42Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:15:44Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:15:49You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:15:53Pretty much.
00:15:54Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:15:56Oh, whatever.
00:15:57All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:15:59The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:05Daniel, and that shameless bitch's relatives won't even exist.
00:16:09What?
00:16:09No, we're not doing that.
00:16:10Why not?
00:16:11Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:15Your dad and I will tear them apart and feed them to the wolves.
00:16:19Okay, Mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:22Tonight at the director's dinner, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:27Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:30So, William, which family are you from?
00:16:42I, uh, I am...
00:16:46Which family are you from?
00:16:54I, uh, I am...
00:16:59Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree,
00:17:03but he's a real go-getter.
00:17:06A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:11A rising star?
00:17:15Ava, how can you still fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes?
00:17:21Haven't you had enough of their pathetic excuses?
00:17:24You didn't listen to us before.
00:17:26And now look where you are.
00:17:27Okay, that's enough.
00:17:28We gotta get going.
00:17:29Let's go.
00:17:30That's okay.
00:17:31Bye.
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:17:40I know those words hurt.
00:17:46It's fine.
00:17:48You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents, it's like you see them as your own.
00:17:54Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so...
00:17:58Uh, they owe you?
00:18:00Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:02Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:08After that, they made it big, so our families kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:14Big news!
00:18:24The eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director, known as Director V, winner of last year's
00:18:29Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear, is set to make a major public appearance this
00:18:34week and reveal their next film project.
00:18:44Hey, I've got to go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:18:48Oh, I'm heading out too.
00:18:49You want a ride?
00:18:50No, I'm going pretty far, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:05This invitation must have fell.
00:19:07Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:14Ava?
00:19:21Hey, what are you doing here?
00:19:23I, um, I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:29What are you doing here?
00:19:30Funny coincidence, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:19:33Oh, that's great.
00:19:35For a moment, I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:19:37Oh, God, no.
00:19:38I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:19:40I could never be in the film industry.
00:19:42I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:19:46I'd love to, but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:19:50Oh, I mean, don't worry.
00:19:51You'll get there soon enough.
00:19:53You can come with me.
00:19:56I'll see you tonight.
00:19:57Tonight, then.
00:19:59Great.
00:19:59Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:18Please go ahead, man.
00:20:23Oh, shit.
00:20:24Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:28Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:31You lost it?
00:20:31Or you never had one?
00:20:32You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:20:34Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:20:36I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:20:38Ava?
00:20:39What are you?
00:20:40You're stalking us?
00:20:43Take your hands and leave us alone.
00:20:46It's like wherever we are, you're just there.
00:20:48You're stalking us.
00:20:49Weird.
00:20:58Why do I have two?
00:21:02Ava?
00:21:06It's like wherever we are, you're just there stalking us.
00:21:10You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:12What?
00:21:12You really think they're just going to let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:17Maybe you should get over yourself.
00:21:19Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in.
00:21:25He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:28Babe, it's just a million.
00:21:30Like, soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:21:34Billions.
00:21:34Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:21:37Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:21:39And your dreams are real sweet.
00:21:40All right, we have done, Ava.
00:21:42All right?
00:21:43The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:21:46So, leave us alone.
00:21:50Because, frankly, you're disgusting.
00:21:53I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:21:58Oh, shit.
00:22:01Mrs. Ra, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:05Hi, Mom.
00:22:18I'm actually divorced.
00:22:19I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:22:22See that one?
00:22:24That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:22:25I'm sorry, Miss Gray.
00:22:27Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:22:28No worries.
00:22:29Just go let the rocks in.
00:22:31No worries.
00:22:31My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:22:35Um, I've made a mistake.
00:22:36Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:22:39Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:22:43Oh, babe.
00:22:45Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:22:47No.
00:22:48It's you.
00:22:49You're my superstar.
00:22:50She's not here.
00:23:05Yes, I guess not.
00:23:08Of course.
00:23:10Why would Ava have it in my...
00:23:14Stupid.
00:23:14Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:36Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:43V, she feels so familiar.
00:23:50Almost like Ava.
00:23:52Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:23:54I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:23:58It's been three years in her last project.
00:24:00Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:02This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:07No way.
00:24:08Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:10Yeah, you're right.
00:24:13I've married her for three years.
00:24:15I know her inside and out.
00:24:19She can never compare to V.
00:24:22Idiots.
00:24:23Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:24:28It's too much of a coincidence.
00:24:30I need to check this out.
00:24:31Oh, my God, V. Baby, is V walking towards me?
00:24:39Is she going to choose me?
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:42I've always said you're my diamond.
00:24:44You're going to get your big break.
00:24:45My investment's going to pay off.
00:24:47Be careful, be careful.
00:24:53You're going to get your big break.
00:24:55My investment's going to pay off.
00:24:57Be careful, be careful.
00:24:58Oh, my God, is V okay?
00:25:02Dammit!
00:25:02Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:04This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:08Are you okay?
00:25:09William?
00:25:10No, no, no, no, no.
00:25:10I can't let him know who I am.
00:25:12I am...
00:25:13No, hey, no, wait, wait.
00:25:15No, oh.
00:25:17It's okay.
00:25:18It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
00:25:19It's okay.
00:25:24I've seen this bracelet before.
00:25:27But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:25:35Ava?
00:25:36Could V really be Ava?
00:25:40Excuse me, Mrs. Roth?
00:25:48That's me.
00:25:49Who are you?
00:25:50Director V wants you to audition as a male actor in room 301.
00:25:56Oh, my God.
00:25:58V wants me to audition.
00:25:59This is going to be my big break.
00:26:01I'm on my way.
00:26:02Everything set?
00:26:15Everything is going to plan.
00:26:23James?
00:26:24Whoa, whoa, look who it is.
00:26:27Oh, babe, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:26:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:26:37What the hell are you doing here?
00:26:39Well, I...
00:26:40The audition for Director V starts now.
00:26:53The scene is called The Affair.
00:26:55You must play a couple having a secret meeting while each has their own family.
00:27:00Cameras are set up.
00:27:02Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:03All right, let's do this.
00:27:07As you wish.
00:27:16Honey, I'm so sorry, Emily.
00:27:20I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep so I could come.
00:27:24I hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:31I hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:33The stream is officially live.
00:27:40Let's add another play to the game.
00:27:41Amp up the drama.
00:27:46Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:27:50This shit is about to get good.
00:27:57What the fuck?
00:27:58Wait, that's Sophia's ex.
00:28:03James.
00:28:03What the fuck are they doing back together?
00:28:08You don't care if your husband finds out.
00:28:11Don't talk about him.
00:28:12No.
00:28:12I can't wait to break out, but, um, I'm the only one I know.
00:28:16You bitch.
00:28:24You bitch.
00:28:25You bitch.
00:28:26Fuck.
00:28:26Daniel.
00:28:27No, no, it's not.
00:28:28No, Daniel, stop.
00:28:29Shut the hell up.
00:28:30It's a misunderstanding, okay?
00:28:32It's just an audition.
00:28:33You expect me to believe that you're auditioning, you're acting, while you're naked in this room, kissing your ex.
00:28:39Please, it's just for V, okay?
00:28:40She asked me to audition.
00:28:42James, he's an actor, too.
00:28:43He's helping with the audition, please.
00:28:44Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:28:47It was in the script, you asshole.
00:28:50Come on.
00:28:51It's an affair, okay?
00:28:52We're just acting for an audition.
00:28:54It's more of the audition.
00:28:55Just a job.
00:28:57You really think you're going to intimidate me?
00:28:59I'm doing this for your company.
00:29:01I'm doing this for V.
00:29:02Ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:29:03Save it, all right?
00:29:05If V wanted you here, where is she?
00:29:08I mean, with all your talent, you think she would notice you by now?
00:29:13What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:29:16Is it New V Project?
00:29:17Shut the fuck up.
00:29:18You know that if it wasn't for me, your company would be underground.
00:29:21Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:29:25You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:29:29Oh, and you're so perfect.
00:29:31You cheating on your wife with me, you asshole.
00:29:35What the fuck?
00:29:41What the fuck?
00:29:43This doesn't look like acting.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:55This feels way too real.
00:29:57Wait a minute.
00:29:58Isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:00And his new girlfriend?
00:30:02What the fuck?
00:30:03Yeah, you want again?
00:30:04This is a next level violence, aunt.
00:30:27Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:30:30Wait a second.
00:30:31This is clearly revenge.
00:30:33The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress.
00:30:36Could it be Ava's actually V?
00:30:43Wait.
00:30:44Stop.
00:30:45Stop.
00:30:46I was paid to be here.
00:30:47To play along.
00:30:49I don't think V has anything to do with this.
00:30:51What?
00:30:53It's blowing up on TikTok.
00:30:55Well, that's a nice surprise.
00:30:59Who even played?
00:31:00Who's behind this?
00:31:01Who's posting this online?
00:31:02Ava?
00:31:05You.
00:31:06You sent me off.
00:31:07Back off.
00:31:08You posted this?
00:31:10You humiliated us?
00:31:11Humiliated?
00:31:12Daniel, did you ever care?
00:31:14Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:31:15Hey.
00:31:16Wasn't this your big break into the film industry?
00:31:18Now the whole world knows you.
00:31:20Guess you're famous, huh?
00:31:21You were going to pay for this.
00:31:24Run.
00:31:25Security.
00:31:25They're fighting.
00:31:27Daniel.
00:31:27Whoa.
00:31:28Whoa.
00:31:29Three years of marriage and I've never felt so protected.
00:31:45Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if the event is over.
00:31:52No.
00:31:53Please stay tuned for more information.
00:31:55Ticket money down the drain.
00:31:57That was going to be my big break.
00:31:59I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:32:02I just want to see what's amazing the director look like.
00:32:06Hey.
00:32:07Hey.
00:32:07Ava.
00:32:07Ava.
00:32:08Ava.
00:32:08Ava.
00:32:08Wait.
00:32:08Wait.
00:32:08Wait.
00:32:09What is up with that video online?
00:32:11What video?
00:32:12The video of your ex and that woman.
00:32:15Why is it posted from V's account?
00:32:16Why is V trying to take them down?
00:32:18Are you?
00:32:18Okay, okay, okay.
00:32:22Look.
00:32:23That's because I'm...
00:32:26Sorry.
00:32:29Yeah?
00:32:30Sir.
00:32:30We've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:32:35We dug into it.
00:32:37Turns out Miss Ava is just a regular housewife.
00:32:40Got it.
00:32:43I'm sorry.
00:32:44I overreacted.
00:32:46I guess with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:32:51And it just scared me a little bit.
00:32:54About to marry?
00:32:56We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:32:58Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract.
00:33:03And I thought we were so much more.
00:33:06You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:33:08And I thought you could feel it too.
00:33:11I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:33:14If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:33:18I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:33:27If anyone hurts my fiancée, I'll make them regret it.
00:33:34Sorry to interrupt the sir.
00:33:38Sorry to interrupt the sir, but a master wants to see you.
00:33:42Hey, wait, who are you?
00:33:44I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:33:47My grandfather doesn't play around.
00:33:49Ava?
00:33:50There's a lot I need to explain, but I can't do it right now.
00:33:54Can you trust me?
00:33:57Just play along.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:02William, how much do you owe?
00:34:11I hear William is your man now.
00:34:14What?
00:34:15Oh, yeah.
00:34:22Sir, why am I the only one allowed in?
00:34:24Why can't William come?
00:34:25Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:34:28How dare you say that about him?
00:34:30He owes you money, right?
00:34:32What if I said yes?
00:34:33How much?
00:34:34Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:34:35Pay it off?
00:34:36It's no small amount.
00:34:38How much?
00:34:39Well, one million.
00:34:44One million.
00:34:46That's it.
00:34:47Just a million.
00:34:49You don't know the full picture.
00:34:51One million is just the interest.
00:34:53The principal sum is ten million.
00:34:56Ten million?
00:34:58What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:34:59I don't care.
00:35:01I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:35:04I can.
00:35:05You're a liar.
00:35:10Not only are you broke, but you're a liar.
00:35:15You're a divorced woman.
00:35:17You've been divorced for three years.
00:35:20You've been waiting tables.
00:35:22What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:35:24How did you know I was divorced?
00:35:27Did you investigate me?
00:35:30Yes, I did.
00:35:31In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:34No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:35:43Did you investigate me?
00:35:45Yes, I did.
00:35:46In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:50No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:35:55Hmm, try digging a little deeper.
00:35:57My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:36:01And the divorce settlement, it's hefty.
00:36:06What?
00:36:08You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:36:11Why did you pay such a huge amount for that scumbag?
00:36:14Maybe to you, he's just a broke jerk.
00:36:16When I needed him, he was there.
00:36:17Money's one thing, but William, he's worth more than all of it.
00:36:28Jeez.
00:36:29It's as if destiny is pulling strings.
00:36:33How did William meet someone this perfect?
00:36:37Her ex must be a total jerk.
00:36:39Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:36:48Now.
00:37:00Ava, are you okay?
00:37:01I'm fine.
00:37:03You, you need to learn how to be a good man.
00:37:06What?
00:37:14Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:37:17We've been working with them for years.
00:37:19I don't know.
00:37:20Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:37:22I mean, it has to be.
00:37:23This is all on Ava.
00:37:26I'm going to kill her.
00:37:28I swear.
00:37:29I hope you do.
00:37:31I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:37:36We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:37:39Oh, Daniel, please, calm down.
00:37:41I've just gotten word that Fee's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:37:46So, if I can get her approval.
00:37:50Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket the stock price.
00:37:56Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:37:58Oh, you genius!
00:38:07Sam?
00:38:08Miss, the casting call is set for tomorrow.
00:38:11I just heard Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:38:15They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:38:17Even so, I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:38:21What do you mean?
00:38:22Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:38:25Let her know she can buy a role in my new film.
00:38:28For a high price.
00:38:39Hey, William, what's up?
00:38:40I, uh, I have an audition for Vee's movie tomorrow.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:46Well, that's great.

00:58:02You fucked up my entire life.
00:58:05Sophia, listen to me.

00:59:54The show must go on.
00:59:58Ava?
01:00:03William!
01:00:04Hey, hang on, okay?
01:00:05I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:00:07Please, just stay with me, okay?
01:00:09You're going to be okay.
01:00:11Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:00:25Is it true that the movie was based on real events?
01:00:28Miss Vee, over here.
01:00:31Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:00:36The question everybody's been wondering, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:00:42Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:00:46And where is that special someone?
01:00:49He...
01:00:55And where is that special someone?
01:00:57He...
01:00:59Congratulations, Ava.
01:01:13Or should I say Vee?
01:01:16It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:01:18It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:01:21So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:01:28Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together, even flirting with death.
01:01:34On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:01:40Will you marry me?
01:01:45Will you marry me?
01:01:58No.
01:01:59You have to marry me.
