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

00:48:11Oh no,

00:48:31May I ask it?
00:48:33Why did the Katzenbergs
00:48:34drop out of our project?
00:48:36We don't want the people
00:48:37abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:48:38What?
00:48:39Wait, wait, wait.

00:49:19Ava, what do you mean
00:49:20you've paid back
00:49:21my grandfather?
00:49:21I already paid...
00:49:22Wait, are you calling him
00:49:23your grandfather?
00:49:26This is my grandson.
00:49:29William Katzenberg.
00:49:31Official heir
00:49:32to the Katzenberg
00:49:33family fortune.
00:49:35What does this mean?
00:49:36What do you mean?
00:49:36No, no, no, no.
00:49:37This, this can't be.
00:49:38What do you mean?
00:49:39Daniel, I don't need your opinion
00:49:40on how to choose an heir.
00:49:44Oh.
00:49:45So this is how it is.
00:49:48Well, the Katzenbergs
00:49:49are using their movies
00:49:51to launder their dirty money.
00:49:53Hey, hey, you watch your mouth.
00:49:55Slandering us like that
00:49:56will land you in prison.
00:49:58Daniel, before you jump to conclusions,
00:50:00there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:50:02You two have been working together
00:50:12this whole time?
00:50:20Cameron, how dare you impersonate
00:50:23V's producer?
00:50:24Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody.
00:50:26I am V's producer.
00:50:30Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:50:32What's in it for you?
00:50:34I told you that I'm V's producer.
00:50:36And you know what?
00:50:37I take my odors from her.
00:50:41What are you talking about?
00:50:43Honestly, like, who even is V?
00:50:46I mean, I don't know her.
00:50:48I've got no beef with her.
00:50:50So why would she send you
00:50:52to ruin me?
00:50:53Right, so you would like me
00:50:55to unlift it all
00:50:57and reveal
00:50:58who V is today.
00:51:01Well, Ava,
00:51:02is that okay?
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04In the flesh.
00:51:06That's correct.
00:51:07This is the mysterious,
00:51:09the fabulous, the fearless
00:51:10V.
00:51:14And she's also there.
00:51:16Heiress of the
00:51:16Green family to fortune.
00:51:19Oh, it's V.
00:51:20Well, I'm finally seeing V in person.
00:51:22Famous director and heiress.
00:51:24V's got the perfect life.
00:51:28No.
00:51:29No, no, she can't be.
00:51:31That's impossible.
00:51:32You idiot.
00:51:34You stupid idiot.
00:51:36I trusted you
00:51:38and I could have been with Ava.
00:51:40I swear, I swear
00:51:41I am going to kill you.
00:51:43You want to try?
00:51:43You want to fight?
00:51:44Are you crazy?
00:51:45I'm going to kill you.
00:51:47FBI, everyone free.
00:51:57What are you doing here?
00:51:58Daniel, we have proof of your embezzlement.
00:52:00From here on out,
00:52:00you have the right to remain silent.
00:52:02Anything you say
00:52:02will be used against you in court.
00:52:06What are you talking about?
00:52:07I...
00:52:08I...
00:52:09You told you.
00:52:11Who do you think?
00:52:13You.
00:52:15Get them out of here.
00:52:17Go of me!
00:52:18Let go!
00:52:19Fuck you!
00:52:20Okay?
00:52:25Fuck you!
00:52:26Get off me!
00:52:27Get off!
00:52:28Ava, so you're not only V,
00:52:30but the Green family fortune heiress.
00:52:33I mean,
00:52:34I knew something was off.
00:52:37Yes, okay,
00:52:38I haven't been completely honest with you,
00:52:40but
00:52:40you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:52:45I've wanted to be honest,
00:52:47but you know how lies can top on top of each other?
00:52:50Look, it's all over now.
00:52:51I'm sorry,
00:52:52but I can't move past this.
00:52:54If we can't even be honest with each other,
00:52:55then maybe...
00:52:56Maybe it's time we cool off.
00:53:00Ava,
00:53:01I can see how much you care for each other.
00:53:05Thank you, Frank.
00:53:08This is between me and him.
00:53:09Ava,
00:53:10are you really leaving me?
00:53:15William,
00:53:15this is always a contract.
00:53:18Now it's expired.
00:53:21It's okay, son.
00:53:27You can do this.
00:53:44Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:53:46What?
00:53:50Huh?
00:53:52Oh,
00:53:52I don't know.
00:53:53Hey.
00:53:54Oh,
00:53:58acaAh.
00:53:59Oh,
00:54:04Hey.
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:11Oh,
00:54:12I don't know.
00:54:13Ava, please don't go.
00:54:39Ava, you're leaving us already.
00:54:43Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:54:48Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:54:53I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:54:57Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:54:59You deserve a bigger world.
00:55:02Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:55:06No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think, I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:55:12If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:55:15As long as you're happy.
00:55:17Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:55:20A guy with eight pack abs still doesn't tell me.
00:55:25Anyway, my driver's waiting.
00:55:27I'll, um, I'll see you in a bit.
00:55:30Oh, please.
00:55:34Good luck, baby.
00:55:35Love you.
00:55:42Oh, she's leaving us.
00:55:44Let's go.
00:55:51Let's go.
00:55:53Ava Green.
00:55:54Long time.
00:55:55We'll see.
00:55:56Oh.
00:55:57I'm so bad.
00:55:58I love you.
00:56:28William, I'll admit it. I'm not like I was with my ex.
00:56:36Walking away from you is way harder, but without me, can you still feel that spark?
00:56:44Hey, Henry, why haven't we set off yet? We're gonna be late.
00:56:48Hey, girl.
00:56:53Sophia, what the hell are you doing here?
00:56:56Let's save the chat till later.
00:56:58Oh, my God.
00:57:28You crazy bitch. Do you even realize what you're doing is a crime?
00:57:37Fuck.
00:57:39Everything is your fault, Eva.
00:57:43You have a reason Daniel's in prison. You fucked up my entire life!
00:57:48Sophia, listen to me.
00:57:49Okay, Daniel brought all of this on himself. You've just been too blinded by him.
00:57:53Okay, you just need to calm down.
00:57:55Shut up. Shut the fuck up!
00:57:59I'm gonna take you to hell.
00:58:02I can't. I can't.
00:58:07Oh, God.
00:58:08Damn world, huh?
00:58:16Say goodbye.
00:58:18No!
00:58:19Damn world.
00:58:30Say goodbye.
00:58:32Give it up, Eva.
00:58:36I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:58:39I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:58:39Oh, ken.
00:58:49Oh, kenya.
00:58:49Oh, my...
00:58:52Ah!
00:58:54Oh, no!
00:58:57Oh, no!
00:59:01Oh, no!
00:59:03Oh, no!
00:59:03Oh, no.
00:59:05The show must go on.
00:59:35The show must go on.
00:59:42Ava?
00:59:45William!
00:59:46Hey, hang on, okay?
00:59:47I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:59:49Please, just stay with me, okay?
00:59:51You're going to be okay.
00:59:56Vee, Vee, come here, Vee, please.
01:00:05Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:00:07Is it true that the movie was based on real events?
01:00:10Miss Vee, over here.
01:00:13Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:00:18The question everybody's been wondering, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:00:25Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:00:29And where is that special someone?
01:00:32He...
01:00:38And where is that special someone?
01:00:40He...
01:00:42Congratulations, Ava.
01:00:56Or should I say Vee?
01:00:59It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:01:01It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:01:04So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:01:11Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:01:15You've been flirting with death.
01:01:18On the day of your movie premiere.
01:01:20And on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:01:26Will you marry me?
01:01:29No, I am...
01:01:34No.
01:01:40You have to marry me.
01:01:48No.
01:01:49You've got to marry me.
01:01:50Maybe a storm in you have a bridge right now.
01:01:53Finally, we're coming to die about the world.
01:01:54If you would, I would want to go...
01:02:00Perhaps you're saying...
01:02:02You just don't?
01:02:03You're talking about your work?
01:02:04No, you're saying...
01:02:06But like...
01:02:07I did an image...
