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've been through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:42Aw.
00:01:43Aren't you worried your wife's gonna find out?
00:01:45Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now. Tonight, she's gonna sign those divorce papers.
00:01:51But babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:01:52But babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:01:53So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you.
00:01:54Surprise!
00:01:55Surprise!
00:01:56Surprise!
00:01:57Ava, what are you doing here?
00:01:58What are you doing here?
00:01:59I'm trying to find out.
00:02:00Okay, I'm trying to find out.
00:02:01I'm trying to find out.
00:02:02Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now.
00:02:03Tonight, she's going to sign those divorce papers.
00:02:05But babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:02:10So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you...
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:21Surprise!
00:02:24Ava? 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. Who is she?
00:02:39Well, since you're already here, meet Sofia, my future.
00:02:45What? I'm your wife!
00:02:50Let's be real. If you hadn't thrown yourself at me, we'd never be married.
00:02:54That's a lie. I was there for you and I supported you when no one else would.
00:02:58That without me, you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:01My company? All you did was drain me.
00:03:04Sofia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart, she's driven, and she's gonna take our company to the top.
00:03:16What 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.
00:03:33Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:36And trust me.
00:03:39She would never pick you.
00:03:46She'd never pick you.
00:03:48You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:51Don't be a swirly loser.
00:03:55Are you saying this?
00:03:56She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:58I know she's talking about the casting. He 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 three years?
00:04:08That's enough, Ava.
00:04:10Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:12Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:16Hmm?
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. I won't let you down.
00:04:34There. We'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.
00:04:46Because 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, this 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.
00:05:46And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:50I'm marrying him.
00:05:59What?!
00:06:00I'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.
00:06:11Actor?
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.
00:06:19Excuse me?
00:06:20Oh, come on.
00:06:21I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:26William.
00:06:31Um...
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...
00:06:57There you go.
00:06:58There you go.
00:07:19Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:20Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:21I...
00:07:22Can'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...
00:07:32What?
00:07:33So...
00:07:34She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:35So...
00:07:36She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:37Three years.
00:07:38Finally back.
00:07:39Hello?
00:07:40Hey!
00:07:41It's me!
00:07:42Oh, um...
00:07:43Hey!
00:07:44It's me!
00:07:45Uh...
00:07:46What's up?
00:07:47I think you could do me a favor.
00:07:48Uh...
00:07:49Uh...
00:07:50Uh...
00:07:51Uh...
00:07:52Uh...
00:07:53Uh...
00:07:54Uh...
00:07:55Uh...
00:07:56Uh...
00:07:57Hey!
00:07:58Um...
00:07:59Um...
00:08:00So what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:01Well...
00:08:02Uh...
00:08:03Um...
00:08:04Uh...
00:08:05I'm suddenly back.
00:08:06Hello?
00:08:07Hey!
00:08:08It's me!
00:08:09Oh...
00:08:10Um...
00:08:11Hey!
00:08:12Uh...
00:08:13What's up?
00:08:14I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:16Oh...
00:08:17Uh...
00:08:19Hey!
00:08:21Uh...
00:08:22Um...
00:08:23So what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:24Hey, so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:30Well, I've been out of work. I couldn't pay my rent, so my landlord kicked me out.
00:08:40Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:42Come on.
00:08:43You live here. Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:58Uh...
00:09:04Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:07Uh, no. This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:12I'm just half sitting.
00:09:16Uh, make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:30Damn. Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:42Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:54Do you want pizza?
00:09:58Yeah, yeah. Pizza works.
00:10:00Alright.
00:10:03Um...
00:10:07I'll go make an order.
00:10:09Right.
00:10:13Oh, you're...
00:10:14Oh, you're...
00:10:27Hey, Peter. Run a check on this girl.
00:10:30Oh, my God. Mike.
00:10:33What?
00:10:34Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:37What the?
00:10:38I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:43I swear if he hurt my Ava.
00:10:44That's it.
00:10:45Him and his company are dead.
00:10:46Hear me?
00:10:47They're dead.
00:10:48Hey.
00:10:53Hey.
00:10:54Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me? They're dead.
00:11:15Hey, you okay?
00:11:19It's my stomach.
00:11:21Here, let's get you down.
00:11:25Hey.
00:11:48You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:11:53Other than my parents.
00:11:57Do you 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, but I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:22What are you doing?
00:12:24What are you doing?
00:12:25Um, you said you needed some rest. I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:34It's okay. I 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.
00:12:40No, you can't.
00:12:41No, you're not.
00:12:42No, you can't.
00:12:43No, you're not.
00:12:44No, you're not.
00:12:45No, you're not.
00:12:46No, you're not.
00:12:49I'm not in here.
00:12:50To therés group, I was in love with him.
00:12:52when you see the bottom of the camera,
00:12:54they put together
00:12:56and make a little bit tough!
00:12:58It's so good!
00:12:59It's so good!
00:13:01That's it!
00:13:03Piano's creakling

00:13:05as we see the размер
00:13:08It's so good!
00:13:08Tico's creakling
00:13:10It's so good!
00:13:12And give it an extra month
00:13:14so we can make this
00:13:15It's so good!
00:13:16This is so good!
00:13:17Oh...
00:13:18I love it!
00:13:20Uh, you're awake.
00:13:50Yeah, I, um, I just got him.
00:13:53Um, do you have an apron?
00:13:58Or you'll also get hot.
00:14:01Of course. Um, just let me help you.
00:14:20Oh God, Eva, what are you doing?
00:14:42Uh, who are they?
00:14:49I'm her.
00:14:50They are my best friend's parents.
00:14:52They've come to see if the house needs any repairs.
00:14:55Right?
00:14:57And this is?
00:15:00He's, um, um.
00:15:08Nice to meet you.
00:15:09I'm, uh, Eva's fiancee.
00:15:12What?
00:15:13Yeah, um, he's my fiancee, William.
00:15:39Eva, 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.
00:15:52Pretty much.
00:15:54Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:15:56Oh, whatever.
00:15:57Alright, 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? No, 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.
00:16:25Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:34So, William, which family are you from?
00:16:42I, uh...
00:16:44I am...
00:16:46Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree, but he's a real go-getter.
00:17:05A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:08A 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, and now look where you are.
00:17:27Okay, that's enough. We gotta get going.
00:17:29Let's, let's go. That's okay. Bye!
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:17:44I know those words hurt.
00:17:46It's fine.
00:17:48You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents?
00:17:50It's like you see them as your own.
00:17:54Uh...
00:17:56My best friend's family owe us, so...
00:17:59They owe you? Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:02Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:07After that, they made it big, so...
00:18:11Our 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,
00:18:31is set to make a major public appearance this week and reveal their next film project.
00:18:45Hey, I've gotta go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:18:48Oh, I'm heading out, too. You on a ride?
00:18:50No, I'm going pretty far, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:19:01This invitation must have fell. Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:20Ava?
00:19:22Hey, what are you doing here?
00:19:24I, um...
00:19:26I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:30Funny coincidence, uh, 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. I 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. You'll get there soon enough.
00:19:53You can come with me.
00:19:56I'll see you tonight.
00:19:57Tonight, then.
00:19:58Great.

00:24:02This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:07No way. Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:11Yeah, you're right. I married her for three years. I know her inside.
00:24:17And out. She can never compare to V.
00:24:22Idiot. Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:24:28It's too much of a coincidence. I need to check this out.
00:24:31Oh my god, V. Baby, is V walking towards me? Is she going to choose me?
00:24:40Of course. I've always said you're my diamond. You're going to get your big break. My investment's going to pay off.
00:24:47Because of the cover.
00:24:48Oh my god, is V okay?
00:25:02Dammit! Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:04This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:06Are you okay?
00:25:09William? No, no, no, no, no. I can't let him know who I am.
00:25:12I am...
00:25:13Oh, hey. No, wait, wait.
00:25:15No. Oh.
00:25:17It's okay. It'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?
00:25:45Excuse me, Mrs. Rall?
00:25:48That's me. Who are you?
00:25:50Director V wants you to audition as a male actor in room 301.
00:25:55Oh my god. V wants me to audition?
00:25:59This is going to be my big break.
00:26:01I'm on my way.
00:26:13Everything's set?
00:26:15Everything is going to plan.
00:26:23James?
00:26:23Whoa, 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...
00:26:39The 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 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 I'm late.
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.
00:27:30I hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:38This dream is officially live.
00:27:40Let's add another play to the game.
00:27:41Let's camp up the drama.
00:27:42Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:27:50This shit is about to get good.
00:27:51What the fuck?
00:28:01Wait, 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.
00:28:12Okay, we have to break up.
00:28:14Um, you're the only one.
00:28:19You bitch!
00:28:21You 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?
00:28:47It was in the script, you asshole.
00:28:50Come on!
00:28:50It's an affair, okay?
00:28:52We're just acting for an audition.
00:28:54It's for the audition.
00:28:55Come on!
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!
00:29:02Come on!
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?
00:29:12What 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, you're coming for me 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?
00:29:37What the fuck?
00:29:51Yeah, you want to get it?
00:29:52This 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 to get it?
00:30:04Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:05Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:06Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:07Yeah, you want to get it?
00:30:24Geez, this is the next level of 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, could it be Ava's actually V?
00:30:43Wait!
00:30:44Stop!
00:30:45Stop!
00:30:46I was paid to be here, to 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...
00:31:05You 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 were going to pay for this!
00:31:23Run!
00:31:23Run!
00:31:23Security!
00:31:24They're fighting!
00:31:25They're fighting!
00:31:26Daniel!
00:31:26Daniel!
00:31:27Oh!
00:31:27Oh!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29Oh!
00:31:35Three years of marriage and I've never felt so... protected.
00:31:37Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if the event is over.
00:31:51No!
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.
00:32:01I just want to see what's amazing the director looks like.
00:32:06Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:32:09What is up with that video online?
00:32:10What video?
00:32:11The 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?
00:32:17Are you...
00:32:18Okay, okay, okay.
00:32:21Look, that's because I'm...
00:32:26Sorry.
00:32:28Yeah?
00:32:29Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:32:35We dug into it.
00:32:36Turns 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?
00:32:55We'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.
00:33:17I 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 fiancee, I'll make them regret it.
00:33:33Sorry 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?
00:33:43I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:33:46My 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.
00:33:55Can you trust me? Just play along.
00:33:58Look.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:09William, how much do you owe?
00:34:11I hear William is your man now.
00:34:14What?
00:34:19Oh, yeah.
00:34:22Sir, why am I the only one allowed in? Why 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? Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:34:35Pay it off? It's no small amount.
00:34:38How much?
00:34:40Well, one million.
00:34:44One million.
00:34:46That's it. Just 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?
00:34:57What 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.
00:35:08You're a liar.
00:35:09Not 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.
00:35:19You've been waiting tables.
00:35:21What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:35:24How did you know I was divorced?
00:35:27Did you investigate me?
00:35:28Yes, I did.
00:35:29In 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.
00:35:39Did you investigate me?
00:35:40Yes, I did.
00:35:41In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:43No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with, I know everything.
00:35:45Try digging a little deeper.
00:35:46My cheating ex is a CEO of a listed company.
00:35:48And the divorce settlement?
00:35:50It's hefty.
00:35:51What?
00:35:52You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:35:54Why did you pay such a huge amount for that scumbag?
00:35:56Maybe to you, he's just a broke jerk.
00:35:58When I needed him, he was there.
00:35:59Money's one thing, but William?
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:01William?
00:36:02William?
00:36:03William?
00:36:04William?
00:36:05William?
00:36:06William?
00:36:07William?
00:36:08William?
00:36:09William?
00:36:10William?
00:36:11William?
00:36:12William?
00:36:13William?
00:36:14William?
00:36:15William?
00:36:16William?
00:36:17William?
00:36:18William?
00:36:19William?
00:36:20William?
00:36:21He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:28Geez.
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.
00:36:43Pull every single penny out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:36:47Now.
00:36:50Ava.
00:36:51Are you okay?
00:36:52I'm fine.
00:36:53You.
00:36:54You need to learn how to be a good man.
00:36:55What?
00:36:56Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:36:57We've been working with them for years.
00:36:58I don't know.
00:36:59Could it be because of the livestream video?
00:37:00I mean it has to be.
00:37:01This is all on Ava.
00:37:02I...
00:37:03I...
00:37:04I'm gonna kill her.
00:37:05I swear.
00:37:06I hope you do.
00:37:07I hope you do.
00:37:08I mean with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:37:10We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:37:11Oh, Daniel, please.
00:37:12Oh, Daniel, please.
00:37:13Calm down.
00:37:14I don't know.
00:37:15I don't know.
00:37:16I'm gonna kill her.
00:37:17I swear.
00:37:18I hope you do.
00:37:19I mean with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:37:22We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:37:23Oh, Daniel, please.
00:37:24Calm down.
00:37:25I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:37:29So, if I can get her approval...
00:37:31Well, then you, as the face of our company, I'm gonna kill her.
00:37:34I'm gonna kill her.
00:37:35I swear.
00:37:36I swear.
00:37:37I swear.
00:37:38I swear.
00:37:39I swear.
00:37:40I swear.
00:37:41I swear.
00:37:42I swear.
00:37:43I swear.
00:37:44I swear.
00:37:45I swear.
00:37:46I swear.
00:37:47I swear.
00:37:48I swear.
00:37:49I swear.
00:37:50I swear.
00:37:51I swear.
00:37:52If you pay a penny, you'll skyrocket the stock price.
00:37:56Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:37:59Oh, you genius!
00:38:07Sam?
00:38:08Miss, the casting call is set for tomorrow.
00:38:11I just heard.
00:38:12Katzenberg 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.
00:38:24Let her know she can buy a role in my new film.
00:38:27For a high price.
00:38:38Hey, William, what's up?
00:38:40I, uh...
00:38:41I have an audition for Vy's movie tomorrow.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:45Well, that's great.
00:38:46Yeah.
00:38:47Um...
00:38:48Look, I'm...
00:38:49I'm just too nervous.
00:38:50I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:38:52Do you like baking?
00:38:54Oh, no.
00:38:55Oh.
00:38:56Oh.
00:38:59Oh.
00:39:00Oh.
00:39:07Oh.
00:39:08Oh.
00:39:09Oh, sorry I'm late. I'm Cameron, the producer of E's movie.
00:39:31So once I pay, Sophie's got the role, right?
00:39:36Of course.
00:39:39This is perfect.
00:39:49What's going on?
00:39:50Uh, nothing. You want more cake?
00:39:53Yeah.
00:39:59Okay, I think we might have had like a little bit too much.
00:40:02No, you're not even tipsy and I'm fine.
00:40:06All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:40:09Yeah, sure thing.
00:40:10Sure thing!
00:40:19Can I kiss you?
00:40:20You should probably take that.
00:40:37Oh, why the hell? How many times I was just starting to feel it?
00:40:46Hmm. Well, look at you back in character. I think my job here is done. Time to get some sleep and head the showers.
00:40:54Wow, Ava. You're stunning. No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:41:14Hmm. Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but God, I can't wait to see Daniel and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:41:23Hello?
00:41:29Hello?
00:41:30Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:41:33What's wrong? Has something happened?
00:41:36No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:41:40Ava, could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:41:45Uh, um, uh...
00:41:49Could 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.
00:42:05Yeah, okay. Bye.
00:42:09Ava, where are you going?
00:42:11If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:42:14Who will choose the actors?
00:42:16Okay.
00:42:19You'll handle it.
00:42:21Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:31Fuck! Ava!
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.
00:42:55Please. Please. Let me go.
00:42:59Let us bury our love in the past.
00:43:01And have a look back.
00:43:06Cut.
00:43:08Next.
00:43:10What's going on? I didn't finish my lines.
00:43:13That's enough.
00:43:14He gave me zero emotion. I put my heart into that scene. He gave me nothing.
00:43:18If 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.
00:43:31Makes 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.
00:43:45This woman is not an actress. She has no right to audition.
00:43:49What's going on here?
00:43:54It's simple. I brought my fiancé to audition.
00:43:58It'll help me give a better performance.
00:44:01This is V's casting. Come on.
00:44:03Only pros allowed.
00:44:04You just gonna let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:44:07Once 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?
00:44:17What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:44:20Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:44:23You 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?
00:44:57I can see your strength.
00:45:00Your 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,
00:45:09but I feel like I see you better than I see myself.
00:45:13And I love you.
00:45:17Before you go, can you kiss me once more?
00:45:20It really knows 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?
00:46:07Oh my God, what?
00:46:09That's incredible.
00:46:10William, you're amazing.
00:46:12Why 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.
00:46:24This 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.
00:46:44So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
00:46:46So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing.
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?
00:47:02Ava, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04Um, I am actually an investor in the film.
00:47:11William, 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?
00:47:15You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:47:20Do you know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie?
00:47:27Wait a minute.
00:47:29Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:47:31My full name is William Katzenberg.
00:47:48Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:47:50A washed up actor, trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:47:56The 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.
00:48:13Oh, shit.
00:48:23Grandpa?
00:48:24Why 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.
00:49:15Sir?
00:49:23Hey, what the hell?
00:49:25You're chasing me down now?
00:49:26I already paid you back.
00:49:32I already paid you back.
00:49:34Ava, what do you mean you paid back my grandfather?
00:49:36I already paid...
00:49:37Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:49:40This is my grandson.
00:49:44William Katzenberg.
00:49:46Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune.
00:49:50What does this mean?
00:49:51Are we strong?
00:49:51No, no, no, no.
00:49:52This can't be...
00:49:54Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose
00:49:56an heir.
00:49:59Oh.
00:50:00So this is how it is.
00:50:02Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies
00:50:06to 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,
00:50:16there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:50:17You two have been working together this whole time?
00:50:28You two have been working together this whole time?
00:50:36Cameron, how dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:50:39Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:50:42I am V's producer.
00:50:45Then 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.
00:50:56What 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?
00:51:09All right, so you would like me to, uh,
00:51:11unlift it all and, uh, reveal
00:51:13who V is today.
00:51:16Well, Aver, is that okay?
00:51:19Yeah.
00:51:19In the flesh.
00:51:22That's correct.
00:51:23This is the mysterious,
00:51:25the fabulous, the fearless,
00:51:27V.
00:51:30And she's also the heiress
00:51:31of the Green Family 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.
00:51:44No, 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
00:51:53and I could have been with Ava.
00:51:55I swear, I swear I am going to kill you.
00:51:58You wanna try?
00:51:59You wanna fight?
00:52:00Are you crazy?
00:52:01I'm gonna kill you.
00:52:02FBI, everyone free.
00:52:12What are you doing here?
00:52:14Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:52:15From here on out,
00:52:16you have the right to remain silent.
00:52:17Anything you say
00:52:18will be used against you in court.
00:52:21What 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!
00:52:33Let go!
00:52:35Fuck 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,
00:52:46but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:52:48I mean,
00:52:50I knew something was off.
00:52:52Yes, okay,
00:52:53I haven't been completely honest with you,
00:52:56but
00:52:56you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:53:01I've wanted to be honest,
00:53:03but you know how lies can talk on top of each other?
00:53:06Look, it's all over now.
00:53:07I'm sorry,
00:53:08but I can't move past this.
00:53:10If we can't even be honest with each other,
00:53:11then maybe...
00:53:13Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:53:16Ava,
00:53:17I can see how much you care for each other.
00:53:21Thank you, Frank.
00:53:24This is between me and him.
00:53:25Ava,
00:53:26Are you really leaving me?
00:53:31Brian,
00:53:31this is always a contract.
00:53:34Now it's expired.
00:53:41It's okay, son.
00:53:43You can do this.
00:53:56Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:54:02Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:54:26Ava,
00:54:40please don't go.
00:54:56Ava,
00:54:56you're leaving us already.
00:55:01Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:55:05Mom,
00:55:05I've just,
00:55:06I've been through too much lately,
00:55:08and I'm exhausted.
00:55:10I need to clear my head.
00:55:12I'm exhausted.
00:55:14Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:55:16You deserve a bigger world.
00:55:20Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:55:22No,
00:55:22no,
00:55:23I have been fooled too many times,
00:55:25and I think
00:55:25I just,
00:55:26I don't trust any guy
00:55:27anymore.
00:55:29If you end up with a woman,
00:55:30that's okay too.
00:55:32As long as you're happy.
00:55:33Mom,
00:55:34trust and orientation
00:55:35are completely different things.
00:55:37A guy with eight-pack abs
00:55:38still doesn't.
00:55:41Anyway,
00:55:42my driver's waiting.
00:55:44I'll,
00:55:44I'll see you in a bit.
00:55:50Good luck, baby.
00:55:51Love you.
00:55:55She's leaving us.
00:56:07Let's go.
00:56:08Ava Green.

00:56:12No sleep.

00:56:21I do know.
00:56:30I don't know.
00:56:32I don't know.
00:56:33I'm sorry.
00:56:33I don't see you in the middle.
00:56:34I don't know.
00:56:35I don't know.
00:56:35I don't know.
00:56:35I don't know.
00:56:36I don't know.
00:56:39Can you guess me once more?
00:56:43Okay.
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.
