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.
00:00:46Didn'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 Ross?
00:00:52I 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.
00:01:02So 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.
00:01:17Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30Daniel, you're not the only one with one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:31You're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:48Oh, I threw this entire birthday party just for me.
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.
00:02:02Tonight, she's going to sign those divorce papers.
00:02:05But babe, I know you've been going through.
00:02:10So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:18Ava, what are you doing here?
00:02:28Oh, babe, I see that your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:33Daniel, what is this?
00:02:36Today's her anniversary.
00:02:37Who is she?
00:02:39Well, since you're already here, meet Sophia, my future.
00:02:44What?
00:02:45I'm your wife!
00:02:48Let'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.
00:02:58Film without me, you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:00My company?
00:03:02All you did was drain me.
00:03:08Sophia 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.
00:03:30Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:36And trust me, she would never pick you.
00:03:46She'd never pick you.
00:03:47You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:51Don't be a sorely, Isaac.
00:03:54Are you saying this?
00:03:56She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:58I know she's talking about becasting.
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, what 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.
00:04:30Understood, Grandpa.
00:04:32I won't let you down.
00:04:34There.
00:04:35We're finished.
00:04:36Perfect.
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, because that's all you're worth.
00:04:51Oh my god, Daniel, that's Versace.
00:04:55You crazy woman!
00:05:02You crazy woman!
00:05:04Who the hell are you?
00:05:12She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:13Light pink dress?
00:05:17That must be her.
00:05:21Apologize to the lady.
00:05:22Let go of me!
00:05:24Who are you?
00:05:25I could be calling the cops!
00:05:26This is assault!
00:05:27That's right!
00:05:27Be my guest.
00:05:29God!
00:05:30All right!
00:05:31All right!
00:05:31All right!
00:05:32God!
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.
00:05:46And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:50I'm marrying him.
00:05:51What?
00:05:59What?
00:06:05I'm Ava.
00:06:06You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:06:09Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:12Actor?
00:06:12I, uh...
00:06:13Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:15I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:17Just name your price.
00:06:20Excuse me?
00:06:20Oh, come on.
00:06:21I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this
00:06:23unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:26William.
00:06:26Um, you know, funnily enough,
00:06:33I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:36Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:38Perfect.
00:06:39Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:06:47Um, should...
00:06:51should we...
00:06:51There you go.
00:07:18Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:19Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:21I 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
00:07:28you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:31Wait, what?
00:07:37So, she's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:39Three years.
00:07:59Finally back.
00:08:00Hello?
00:08:07Hey!
00:08:07It's me!
00:08:09Oh, um, hey.
00:08:11Uh, what's up?
00:08:12I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:16Hi.
00:08:17Hey.
00:08:18Um, so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:29Well, uh...
00:08:30Um, I've been out of work.
00:08:34I couldn't pay my rent.
00:08:36So, landlord kicked me out.
00:08:39Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:42Come on.
00:08:42You live here.
00:08:55Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:58Uh...
00:08:59Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:05Uh, no.
00:09:09This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:12I'm just half-sitting.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:15Uh, make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:30Damn.
00:09:31Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:34Ah!
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:35Oh!
00:09:42Um...
00:09:43So, the fridge
00:09:45is empty.
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:54Do you want pizza?
00:09:57Yeah.
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59Pizza works.
00:09:59All right.
00:10:03Um...
00:10:04I'll go make an order.
00:10:09Right.
00:10:13Oh, you're...
00:10:14Hey, Peter.
00:10:28Run a check on this girl.
00:10:29Oh, my God.
00:10:37Mike.
00:10:37What?
00:10:38Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:41What the?
00:10:43Oh!
00:10:44I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:47I swear if he hurt her.
00:10:48I swear if he hurt my Ava.
00:10:52That's it.
00:10:53Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me?
00:10:57They're dead.
00:10:57Hey.
00:10:58Hey.
00:11:15Hey.
00:11:15Are you okay?
00:11:16Um...
00:11:17Yeah, it's...
00:11:19It's, it's my stomach.
00:11:21Here, um, let's just get your dad.
00:11:26Hey.
00:11:27You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:11:52Other than my parents.
00:11:55Do 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.
00:12:08But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:22What are you doing?
00:12:25Um, you said you needed some rest.
00:12:26I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:27It's okay.
00:12:28I can walk by myself.
00:12:29No you can't.
00:12:30No you can't.
00:12:31Hi.
00:12:32No you can't.
00:12:33No you can't.
00:12:34No you can't.
00:12:35I can walk by myself.
00:12:36No you can't.
00:12:37No you can't.
00:12:38No you can't.
00:12:39No you can't.
00:12:44Yes, I can't.
00:12:45No you can't.
00:13:08I'm not going to die.
00:13:11I'm not going to die.
00:13:18I'm not going to die.
00:13:20I'm not going to die.
00:13:24It's just the way you need to die.
00:13:27I'm not going to die.
00:13:29Uh, you're awake.
00:13:50Yeah, I am.
00:13:51I just got up.
00:13:54Um, do you have an apron?
00:13:58Or you also did.
00:13:59Hot.
00:14:02Of course.
00:14:03Um, just let me help you.
00:14:26Um.
00:14:29Oh, God.
00:14:40Ava!
00:14:41What are you doing?
00:14:47Uh.
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.
00:14:55Right?
00:14:57And this is?
00:15:00He's, um, um.
00:15:07Nice to meet you.
00:15:09I'm, uh, Ava's fiance.
00:15:12What?
00:15:12Yeah, um, he's my fiancee, 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.
00:15:48You 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.
00:16:28We're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:30So, William, which family are you from?
00:16:42I, uh...
00:16:43I am...
00:16:46Which family are you from?
00:16:52I, uh...
00:16:56I 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...
00:17:58They owe you?
00:18:00Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:01Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:07After that, they made it big, so our families kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:15Hmm.
00:18:23Big news!
00:18:24The eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director, known as Director V,
00:18:28winner of last year's Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear,
00:18:32is set to make a major public appearance this week and reveal their next film project.
00:18:37Hey, 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 on a ride?
00:18:50No, I'm going pretty far.
00:18:51But I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:18:52This invitation must have fell.
00:19:07Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:08Ava?
00:19:21Hey!
00:19:22What are you doing here?
00:19:23I, um...
00:19:24I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:29What are you doing here?
00:19:30Funny coincidence.
00:19:31A 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.
00:19:43I 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.
00:19:58Oh, shit.
00:19:59Great.
00:20:05Hmm.
00:20:13Please 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?
00:20:39Where 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, 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.
00:21:09You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:12What?
00:21:12You really think they're just going to let some housewife into these banquets?
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.
00:21:27Babe, 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, all right?
00:21:43The divorce papers are signed, and I don't love you anymore.
00:21:46So, leave us alone, because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:21:53I'm not going to waste time with lunatics.
00:21:58Oh, shit.
00:21:59Mrs. Roth, 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.
00:22:22You see 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 don't 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.
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:10Why would Ava have a new life?
00:23:14Stupid.
00:23:14Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:25Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:47V, she feels so familiar, almost 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 since 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.
00:24:11Yeah, 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.
00:24:20Idiots.
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.
00:24:36Oh my god, V.
00:24:37Baby, is V walking towards me?
00:24:39Is she going to choose me?
00:24:40Of course.
00:24:41I'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.
00:25:00Oh my god, is V okay?
00:25:02Dammit!
00:25:02Who made these damn stares?
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...
00:25:13Oh, hey, no, wait, wait.
00:25:15No, oh.
00:25:16It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
00:25:23I've seen this bracelet before.
00:25:28But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:25:35Ava?
00:25:36Could V really be Ava?
00:25:40Excuse me, Mrs. Rall?
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, V wants me to audition.
00:25:59This is going to be my big break.
00:26:00I'm on my way.
00:26:13Everything set?
00:26:15Everything is going to plan.
00:26:17James?
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?
00:26:38Well, I...
00:26:39The 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
00:26:58while 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 I'm late.
00:27:20I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep so I could cut.
00:27:24Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:31Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:33The stream is officially live.
00:27:40Let's add another play to the game.
00:27:41Let's camp up the drama.
00:27:46Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:27:50This show's 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.
00:28:12I can't whisper it now, but I'm the only one.
00:28:19You bitch!
00:28:24You 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.
00:28:44Why are you stripping for an audition?
00:28:47What's in the script?
00:28:49You asshole, come on.
00:28:51It's an affair, okay?
00:28:52We're just acting for an audition.
00:28:54It's for the audition.
00:28:55Stop!
00:28:57What?
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!
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?
00:29:18Fuck up.
00:29:18You know that if it wasn't for me, your company would be underground.
00:29:22Oh, 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, isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:00And his new girlfriend?
00:30:02What the fuck?
00:30:03Yeah, you want again?
00:30:04He's a new boyfriend.
00:30:25Jeez, this 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.
00:30:56Who even played?
00:31:00Who's behind this?
00:31:00Who's posting this online?
00:31:02Ava?
00:31:05You.
00:31:06You set me up.
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, wasn'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 are going to pay for this.
00:31:24Run.
00:31:24Security!
00:31:25They're fighting!
00:31:27Daniel!
00:31:28Whoa.
00:31:35Three 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...
00:31:50The event is over.
00:31:52No!
00:31:52Please 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, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:32:09What is up with that video online?
00:32:11What video?
00:32:12The video of your ex and that woman.
00:32:14Why 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.
00:32:21Look, that's because I'm...
00:32:24I'm sorry.
00:32:27I'm sorry.
00:32:29Yeah?
00:32:30Sir, we'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.
00:32:41I'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 you, sir.
00:33:38Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
00:33:40But 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.
00:33:56Can you trust me?
00:33:57Hey, just play along.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:09William, how much do you owe?
00:34:10I hear William is your man now.
00:34:14What?
00:34:19Oh, 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.
00:34:35Paid off?
00:34:36It's no small amount.
00:34:38How much?
00:34:38Well, 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.
00:34:50One million is just the interest.
00:34:52The 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.
00:35:00I 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,
00:35:13but you're a liar.
00:35:15You're a divorced woman.
00:35:17You've been divorced for three years.
00:35:19You'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?
00:35:29Yes, I did.
00:35:31In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:34No matter who the debtor is,
00:35:36where they are,
00:35:37or who they're with,
00:35:38I know everything.
00:35:43Did you investigate me?
00:35:45Yes, I did.
00:35:46In our line of work,
00:35:48information is everything.
00:35:50No matter who the debtor is,
00:35:51where they are,
00:35:52or who they're with,
00:35:53I know everything.
00:35:55Try digging a little deeper.
00:35:57My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:36:01And the divorce settlement?
00:36:03It's hefty.
00:36:04You've paid $11 million 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.
00:36:18Money's one thing, but William,
00:36:20he's worth more than all of it.
00:36:23He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:24He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:25He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:26He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:27He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:28Geez, it'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.
00:36:42Pull 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.
00:37:06in. What? Why did Katzenberg pull out? We've been working with them for years. I don't
00:37:19know. Could it be because of the live stream video? I mean, it has to be. This is all on
00:37:24Ava. I'm going to kill her. I swear. I hope you do. I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're
00:37:33missing an 80% funding gap. We may as well file for bankruptcy. Oh, Daniel, please, calm
00:37:40down. I've just gotten word that Fee's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow. So, if
00:37:46I can get her approval. Well, then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket the
00:37:55stock price. Katzenberg will be begging for shares. Oh, you genius!
00:38:03Sam? Miss, the Katzen call is set for tomorrow. I just heard. Katzenberg pulled all investments
00:38:14from Daniel's company. They'll be bankrupt by the month's end. Even so, I've got one last
00:38:20strike for this idiot. What do you mean? Have Cameron contact Sophia. Let her know she
00:38:25can buy a role in my new film for a high price. Hey, William, what's up? I, uh, I have an
00:38:42audition for V's movie tomorrow. Oh, well, that's great. Yeah. Um, look, I'm, I'm just too nervous.
00:38:50I can't get into any of the emotional scenes. Do you like baking? Oh, no. Oh, oh.
00:39:08Oh, sorry. I'm late. I'm Cameron, the producer of V's movie. So once I pay, Sophia's got the
00:39:34roll, right? Of course. This is perfect. What's going on? Uh, nothing. You want more cake? Yeah.
00:39:54Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much. No, you're not even tipsy and I'm,
00:40:05I'm fine. All right, then maybe we should drink some more then. Yeah, sure thing.
00:40:10Can I kiss you?
00:40:24You should probably take that. Oh, well, look at you back in character. I think my job here
00:40:51is done. Time to get some sleep. Hit the shower.
00:41:05Wow, Ava, you're stunning. No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town
00:41:12are actually the same person. You know, I never cared for the public perception, but God,
00:41:19I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:41:29Hello?
00:41:31Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:41:34What's wrong? Has something happened?
00:41:36No, I'm, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today. Could you be my partner
00:41:42and help me run through it?
00:41:45Uh, um, uh, could you be my partner?
00:41:54Uh, um, all right. Um, yeah, no, I mean, of course I'll go with you.
00:42:00Ava, thank you.
00:42:01I'll send you the location for casting.
00:42:03Yeah, okay. Bye.
00:42:09Ava, where are you going? If you leave, who will run the casting? Who will choose the actors?
00:42:19You'll handle it.
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:23Me?
00:42:25Me?
00:42:25Me?
00:42:27Me?
00:42:28Me?
00:42:29Me?
00:42:30Me?
00:42:31Me?
00:42:32Me?
00:42:35Fuck!
00:42:36Ava!
00:42:37What are they doing here?
00:42:39First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:42:42All right, let's get this casting underway.
00:42:53I can't love you anymore. Please, please, let me go. Let us bury our love in the past.
00:43:02and have a look back.
00:43:06Cut.
00:43:08Next.
00:43:10What's going on?
00:43:11I didn't finish my lines.
00:43:13That's enough.
00:43:14He gave me zero emotion.
00:43:16I put my heart into that scene.
00:43:18He gave me nothing.
00:43:19If you have a complaint, feel free to file a complaint form.
00:43:22But for now, please leave the audition area.
00:43:29Her acting.
00:43:30Makes me want to puke.
00:43:35Next.
00:43:36That's our turn.
00:43:38Hey.
00:43:39You got this.
00:43:43Whoa!
00:43:44Sorry.
00:43:46This woman is not an actress.
00:43:48She has no right to audition.
00:43:53What's going on here?
00:43:54It's simple.
00:43:56I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:43:58It'll help me give a better performance.
00:44:01This is V's casting.
00:44:02Come on.
00:44:03Only pros allowed.
00:44:04You're just going to let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:44:08Once this leaks, V's reputation will be ruined.
00:44:11And you'll be fired.
00:44:12Sophia, you are not V.
00:44:14How could you know what she cares about?
00:44:15What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:44:20Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:44:24You can still touch hearts as long as you're feeling and in the role.
00:44:31That's what a true actor does.
00:44:33All right.
00:44:42You're up.
00:44:47You know, you say you love me, but...
00:44:50I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:44:52Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:44:55Who says that I can't?
00:44:56I can see your strength, your kindness, and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:45:04I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:45:07I know we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I see you better than
00:45:11I see myself.
00:45:13And I love you.
00:45:17Before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:45:19It's really nice how to fake it.
00:45:36Now for the official casting results.
00:45:42It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:45:44It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:45:51Who cares about acting anyway?
00:45:53Yeah.
00:45:54I mean, acting is nothing, really.
00:45:57Money is how you get the role.
00:46:01Eto'o?
00:46:03Effie?
00:46:05Kevin?
00:46:07William?
00:46:08Oh my God, what?
00:46:09That's incredible.
00:46:10William, you're amazing.
00:46:11Why am I not on this list?
00:46:14They're still going.
00:46:15Okay.
00:46:16It's okay.
00:46:17Uh, last, Ava.
00:46:19What?
00:46:19No way!
00:46:21Ava, you got in as well.
00:46:23Yeah.
00:46:28This isn't fair!
00:46:29The list has been tampered with!
00:46:30There is cheating going on in this casting!
00:46:33Where's your proof?
00:46:34Without anything to back it up, that's slandering.
00:46:37Proof?
00:46:38Well, um, I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role.
00:46:43Yeah, and they've already taken the money, so if I don't get the lead role, we'll sue him!
00:46:50So if I don't get the lead role, we'll sue him!
00:46:53Oh, is that so?
00:46:54You know, it's funny you say that, because I haven't heard anything about it.
00:46:59Wait, what are you talking about?
00:47:01Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04Um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:47:11Liam, please don't get carried over it.
00:47:12No, it's true, okay?
00:47:13I'll prove it to you.
00:47:15Prove it?
00:47:16You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:47:19Do you know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie?
00:47:27Wait, wait a minute.
00:47:29Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:47:31My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:47:47Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:47:50A washed-up actor trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:47:55The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:47:59Got connections everywhere, and this nobody is pretending to be one!
00:48:05Mr. Katzenberg has arrived.
00:48:10Katzenberg?
00:48:11Oh my god, he's William's creditor.
00:48:13Shit!
00:48:13Grandpa, why is he here?
00:48:26Oh no, this is bad.
00:48:33Oh no, this is bad.
00:48:36Mr. Johnson, it is a pleasure to see you.
00:48:39Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:48:41You got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:48:44We're working on it.
00:48:46May I ask, why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:48:51We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:48:53What?
00:48:54Wait, wait, wait.
00:48:55Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:48:57Because somebody here is using the Katzenberg name.
00:49:01Oh, now you have my attention.
00:49:04And I'm very curious.
00:49:05Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:49:08Him.
00:49:13Sir?
00:49:24Hey, what the hell?
00:49:25You're chasing me down now?
00:49:27I already paid you back.
00:49:28I already paid you back.
00:49:34Ava, what do you mean you've paid back my grandfather?
00:49:36I already paid...
00:49:37Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:49:39This is my grandson.
00:49:44William Katzenberg.
00:49:46Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:49:50What does this mean?
00:49:51A wish, true?
00:49:51No, no, no, no.
00:49:52This, this can't be what...
00:49:54Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose an heir.
00:49:59Oh.
00:50:00So this is how it is.
00:50:02Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies to launder their dirty money.
00:50:08Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:50:10Slandering us like that will land you in prison.
00:50:13Daniel, before you jump to conclusions, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:50:17Cameron?
00:50:24Ava, you, you know...
00:50:26You two have been working together this whole time?
00:50:35Cameron, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:50:40Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:50:42I am V's producer.
00:50:44Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:50:47What's in it for you?
00:50:49I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:50:52And you know what?
00:50:53I take my odors from her.
00:50:57What are you talking about?
00:50:59Honestly, like, who even is V?
00:51:01I mean, I don't know her.
00:51:03I've got no beef with her.
00:51:05So why would she send you to ruin me?
00:51:08All righty, so you would like me to, uh, unlift it all and, uh, reveal who V is today?
00:51:16Well, Ava, is that okay?
00:51:19Yeah.
00:51:20In the flesh.
00:51:22That's correct.
00:51:23This is the mysterious, the fabulous, the fearless, V.
00:51:27And she's also the heiress of the Green family to fortune.
00:51:34Oh, it's V.
00:51:35Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:51:37Famous director and heiress.
00:51:40V's got the perfect life.
00:51:41No, no, no, she can't be.
00:51:46That's impossible.
00:51:47You idiot.
00:51:49You stupid idiot.
00:51:52I trusted you and I could have been with Ava.
00:51:55I swear, I swear I am going to kill you.
00:51:58You want to try?
00:51:59You want to fight?
00:52:00Are you crazy?
00:52:01I'm going to kill you.
00:52:02FBI, everyone free.
00:52:11What are you doing here?
00:52:14Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:52:15From here on out, you have the right to remain silent.
00:52:17Anything you say will be used against you in court.
00:52:22What are you talking about?
00:52:24I...
00:52:24Who told you?
00:52:27Who do you think?
00:52:29You.
00:52:31Get them out of here.
00:52:32Go of me!
00:52:34Let go!
00:52:34Fuck you!
00:52:36Okay?
00:52:41Fuck you!
00:52:42Get off me!
00:52:43Get off!
00:52:44Ava, so you're not only V, but the Green Family Fortuner S.
00:52:49I mean, I knew something was off.
00:52:53Yes, okay, I haven't been completely honest with you, but...
00:52:57And you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:53:01I've wanted to be honest, but you know how lies can top on top of each other?
00:53:06Look, it's all over now.
00:53:07I'm sorry, but I can't move past this.
00:53:09If we can't even be honest with each other, then maybe...
00:53:12Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:53:16Ava, I can see how much you care for each other.
00:53:21Thank you, Frank.
00:53:23This is between me and him.
00:53:25Ava, are you really leaving me?
00:53:31Brian, this is always a contract.
00:53:34Now it's expired.
00:53:39It's okay, son.
00:53:43You can do this.
00:53:44It's okay, son.
00:53:44You can do this.
00:53:44Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:53:49Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:54:02It's okay, son.
00:54:07No, no.
00:54:10I've been to stop.
00:54:10No, no.
00:54:11No, no, no, no.
00:54:13No, no.
00:54:13No, no, no.
00:54:15So, is it planned for me all to be said next?
00:54:17When you're librained?
00:54:18I don't go out.
00:54:20No, no, no.
00:54:22I can't walk a essa.
00:54:24I can't walk there, man.
00:54:25I can leave, no.
00:54:27No, no, no.
00:54:28No, no, no, no.
00:54:29No, no, no.
00:54:30But something should happen.
00:54:31Ava, please don't go.
00:54:55Ava, you're leaving us already.
00:55:01Can't you stay a few more days just to be with Alice?
00:55:05Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:55:09I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:55:13Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:55:15You deserve a bigger world.
00:55:20Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:55:22No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think,
00:55:25I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:55:28If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:55:32As long as you're happy.
00:55:33Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:55:37A guy with eight pack abs still does it for me.
00:55:41Anyway, my driver's waiting.
00:55:43I'll, um, I'll see you in a bit.
00:55:46Oh, please.
00:55:49Good luck, baby.
00:55:51Love you.
00:55:58Oh, she's leaving us.
00:56:00Let's go.
00:56:08Ava Green.
00:56:10Long time, we'll see.
00:56:13We'll see you next time.
00:56:14We'll see you next time.
00:56:16Bye.
00:56:17Bye.
00:56:18Oh
00:56:48William, I'll admit it. I'm not like I was with my ex.
00:56:52Walking away from you is way harder, but without me, can you still feel that spark?
00:57:00Hey, Henry, why haven't we set off yet? We're gonna be late.
00:57:04Hey.
00:57:09Sophia, what the hell are you doing here?
00:57:12Let's save the chat till later.
00:57:18Oh, my God.
00:57:48You crazy bitch.
00:57:51Do you even realize what you're doing is a crime?
00:57:54Fuck.
00:57:56Everything is your fault, Eva.
00:57:59You have a reason Daniel's in prison.
00:58:02You fucked up my entire life!
00:58:05Sophia, listen to me.
00:58:06Daniel brought all of this on himself.
00:58:08You've just been too blinded by him.
00:58:10Okay, you just need to calm down.
00:58:12Shut up.
00:58:13Shut the fuck up!
00:58:16I'm gonna take you to hell.
00:58:18I can't!
00:58:23I can't!
00:58:29Damn world, huh?
00:58:34Say goodbye.
00:58:39No!
00:58:46Damn world.
00:58:48Say goodbye.
00:58:52Give it up, Eva.
00:58:54I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:58:56I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:59:15No!
00:59:17No!
00:59:18No!
00:59:48Show must go on.
00:59:55Show must go on.
00:59:58Ava?
01:00:03William!
01:00:04Hey, hang on, okay? I'm gonna call an ambulance.
01:00:07At least you'll stay with me, okay? You're gonna be okay.
01:00:18Vee, Vee, come here. Vee, please. Just here, Vee, Vee.
01:00:23Vee, 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.
01:00:32Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:00:36The question everybody's been wondering, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:00:43Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:00:47And where is that special someone?
01:00:50He...
01:00:56And where is that special someone?
01:00:58He...
01:00:59Congratulations, Ava. Or should I say Vee?
01:01:16It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:01:19It'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.
01:01:35On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:01:41Will you marry me?
01:01:45Will you marry me?
01:01:47Will you?
01:01:52No.
01:01:58You have to marry me.
01:01:59You have to marry me.
