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.
00:01:30I've been through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:44I've been through 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.
00:02:09So 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 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.
00:02:54That'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.
00:03:00My company? All you did was drain me.
00:03:04Sophia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart, she's driven, and she's going to take our company to the top.
00:03:16What could she possibly do for you, Bob?
00:03:20I've just been cast as the lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:24And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:28You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:33Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:35And trust me, she 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 sort of easy.
00:03:53How are 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.
00:04:05What 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.
00:04:16Hmm?
00:04:19Papers.
00:04:22Grandpa.
00:04:22Listen, 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.
00:04:46Because that's all you're worth.
00:04:47Oh, my God, Daniel, that's Versace.
00:04:55You crazy woman!
00:05:03You crazy woman!
00:05:05Who the hell are you?
00:05:07She'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!
00:05:28Be 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.
00:05:48I'm marrying him.
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.
00:06:19Excuse 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.
00:06:30Um, 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...
00:06:50Should we...
00:06:52There you go.
00:06:58Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:20Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:21I can't get in.
00:07:22That's the idea.
00:07:24How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:27Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her.
00:07:31Wait, what?
00:07:37So, she's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:39Three years.
00:07:59Finally back.
00:08:05Hello?
00:08:06Hey, it's me.
00:08:09Oh, um, hey.
00:08:11Uh, what's up?
00:08:13I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:17Hi.
00:08:23Hey.
00:08:25Um, so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:28Well, uh, um, 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.
00:08:52You live here.
00:08:55Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:57Uh, don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:07Uh, 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.
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:27Tim, I totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:34Ah!
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:35Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:53Do you want pizza?
00:09:57Yeah.
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59Pizza works.
00:09:59All right.
00:10:03Um.
00:10:04Um.
00:10:07I'll go make an order.
00:10:09Right.
00:10:09Okay.
00:10:12Oh, you're...
00:10:14Hey, Peter.
00:10:28Run a check on this girl.
00:10:35Oh, my God.
00:10:37Mike.
00:10:38What?
00:10:38Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:41What the?
00:10:44I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:49I swear if he hurt my Ava, that's it.
00:10:54Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me?
00:10:57They're dead.
00:10:57I swear to god.
00:11:14Hey.
00:11:15You okay?
00:11:17Um.
00:11:19Yeah, it's my stomach.
00:11:21Here.
00:11:21Let's get you down.
00:11:26Hey.
00:11:27You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this, other than my parents.
00:11:54Do I think you ate something bad?
00:11:59It's just an allergy. I 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?
00:12:24Um, you said you needed some rest. I'm taking you to bed.
00:12:29It's okay. I can walk by myself.
00:12:32No, you can't.
00:12:36No, you can't.
00:12:46No, you can't.
00:12:47No, you can't.
00:12:48No, you can't.
00:12:52No, you can't.
00:12:53No, you can't.
00:12:54No, you can't.
00:12:55No, you can't.
00:12:56Come here.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58It's so delicious.
00:13:28Uh, you're awake?
00:13:50Yeah, I am.
00:13:51I just got up.
00:13:54Um, do you have an apron?
00:13:57Or you're also a bit...hot?
00:14:02Of course.
00:14:03Um, just let me help you.
00:14:06Um.
00:14:07Um.
00:14:08Um.
00:14:09Um.
00:14:10Um.

00:14:18Um.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:20Um.
00:14:21Um.
00:14:22Um.
00:14:23Oh God!
00:14:24Ava!
00:14:25What are you doing?
00:14:27Um.
00:14:28Um.
00:14:29Um.
00:14:30Um.
00:14:31Um.
00:14:32Um.
00:14:33Um.
00:14:34Um.
00:14:35Um.
00:14:36Um.
00:14:37Um.
00:14:38Um.
00:14:39Um.
00:14:40Um.
00:14:41Um.
00:14:42Uh.
00:14:43Uh.
00:14:44Uh.
00:14:45Uh.
00:14:46Uh.
00:14:47Uh.
00:14:48Uh.
00:14:49Uh.
00:14:50Uh.
00:14:51Who are they?
00:14:52I'm her!
00:14:53The white house.
00:14:54I'm going to see if the house needs any repairs.
00:14:55Right?
00:14:56And this is?
00:14:58He's.
00:14:59Um.
00:15:00Um.
00:15:01Nice to meet you.
00:15:04I'm uh.
00:15:06Ava's fiancee.
00:15:07What?
00:15:08Yeah!
00:15:09Um.
00:15:10He's my fiancee.
00:15:11William.
00:15:12Programs.
00:15:13Yeah, um, he's my fiancée, William.
00:15:40Eva, what the hell is going on?
00:15:42Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:15:44Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:15:49You picked up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:15:53Pretty much.
00:15:54Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:15:56Oh, whatever.
00:15:57All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:15:59The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:05Daniel, and that shameless bitch's relatives won't even exist.
00:16:09What? 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.
00:16:27Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:30So, William, which family are you from?
00:16:41I, uh...
00:16:43I am...
00:16:46Okay, 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.
00:17:08A 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.
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,
00:17:51it'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 do they owe you?
00:18:01Well, when my friend's family were broke,
00:18:05my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:07After that, they made it big,
00:18:11so 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,
00:18:27known 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
00:18:34and reveal their next film project.
00:18:37Hey, I've got to go run an errand,
00:18:46so 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?
00:19:20Hey!
00:19:21Hey!
00:19:22What are you doing here?
00:19:23I, um...
00:19:25I'm meeting a producer
00:19:26for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:29What are you doing here?
00:19:30Funny coincidence.
00:19:31Uh, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:33That's great.
00:19:35You know, for a moment,
00:19:36I 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,
00:19:47but right now,
00:19:48no fame,
00:19:49no invite.
00:19:50Oh.
00:19:50I mean, don't worry.
00:19:51You'll get there soon enough.
00:19:53You can come with me.
00:19:56I'll see you tonight.
00:19:57Tonight, then.
00:19:59Great.
00:19:59Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:18Please go ahead, man.
00:20:23Oh, shit.
00:20:27Sorry, 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
00:20:44and leave us alone.
00:20:46It's like wherever we are,
00:20:47you're just there,
00:20:48stalking us.
00:20:57Weird.
00:20:58Why do I have two?
00:21:02Ava?
00:21:06It's like wherever we are,
00:21:07you're just there,
00:21:09stalking us.
00:21:09You guys really think
00:21:10that much of yourselves?
00:21:12What?
00:21:12You really think
00:21:13they're just gonna let
00:21:14some housewife
00:21:15into V's banquet?
00:21:17Maybe you should
00:21:18get over yourself.
00:21:21Daniel dropped a cool
00:21:22one million
00:21:24to get me in.
00:21:25He wouldn't spend a dime
00:21:26on someone like you.
00:21:27It's just a million.
00:21:30Like, soon
00:21:31we'll be raking in
00:21:32the big bucks.
00:21:34Billions.
00:21:34Oh, I love the way
00:21:35you say that.
00:21:37Daniel, do share
00:21:37your brand of pillow.
00:21:39And your dreams
00:21:39are real sweet.
00:21:40We have done, Ava.
00:21:42All right?
00:21:43The divorce papers
00:21:44are signed
00:21:45and I don't love you
00:21:46anymore.
00:21:46So, leave us alone
00:21:49because, frankly,
00:21:51you're disgusting.
00:21:53I'm not gonna waste
00:21:54time with lunatics.
00:21:58Oh, shit.
00:22:01Mrs. Ra,

00:22:03please,
00:22:04to 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.
00:22:32My apologies,
00:22:33Mrs. Roth.
00:22:34Um, I've made a mistake.
00:22:36Let me guide you
00:22:37to the VIP entrance, please.
00:22:39Well, since you apologize
00:22:40so sweetly,
00:22:41I'll let it slide.
00:22:43Oh, babe.
00:22:45Your investment in tuition
00:22:46is incredible.
00:22:47No.
00:22:48It's you.
00:22:49You're my superstar.
00:22:50She's not here.
00:23:04Yes, I guess not.
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:10Why would Ava have it?
00:23:12Would I?
00:23:14Stupid.
00:23:14Ladies and gentlemen,
00:23:19next up,
00:23:20the world-renowned,
00:23:21mysterious,
00:23:23director V
00:23:23graces the stage.
00:23:25Next up,
00:23:37the world-renowned,
00:23:39mysterious,
00:23:40director V
00:23:41graces the stage.
00:23:47V,
00:23:48she feels so familiar,
00:23:50almost like Ava.
00:23:51Finally,
00:23:52we get to see V
00:23:53in person.
00:23:54I can't believe
00:23:55that the legendary
00:23:55director V
00:23:56is a woman.
00:23:58It's been three years
00:23:59in her last project.
00:24:00Can't wait
00:24:00to see her next one.
00:24:02This V,
00:24:04I figure it's,
00:24:05it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:07No way.
00:24:08Ava's low-class looks
00:24:09could never compare to V.
00:24:11Yeah,
00:24:12you're right.
00:24:13I married her
00:24:14for three years.
00:24:14I know her inside
00:24:16and out.
00:24:18She can never compare
00:24:20to V.
00:24:22Idiots.
00:24:23Time to show you
00:24:24how blind you really are.
00:24:28It's too much
00:24:29of a coincidence.

00:24:36Oh my God,
00:24:37V,
00:24:37baby,
00:24:38is V walking towards me?
00:24:39Is she going to choose me?
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:41I've always said
00:24:42you're my diamond.
00:24:43You're going to get
00:24:44your big break.
00:24:45My investment's
00:24:46going to pay off.
00:24:47Be careful, be careful.
00:24:53You're going to get
00:24:54your big break.
00:24:55My investment's
00:24:56going to pay off.
00:24:57Be careful, be careful.
00:25:00Oh my God,

00:25:02Dammit!
00:25:02Who made these
00:25:03damn stairs?

00:25:05our chances.
00:25:08Are you okay?
00:25:09William?
00:25:10No, no, no, no,
00:25:10I can't let him know
00:25:11who I am.
00:25:12I am...
00:25:13Oh, hey,
00:25:14no, wait, wait.

00:25:36Could V
00:25:37really be

00:29:25You thought

00:29:27without me finding out.
00:29:29Oh,
00:29:29and you're so perfect!
00:29:31You cheating on
00:29:32your wife with me,
00:29:33you asshole!
00:29:35What the fuck?
00:29:41What the fuck?
00:29:44This doesn't look like acting.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:55This feels way too real.
00:29:57Wait a minute,
00:29:58isn't that Ava's new husband?
00:30:00And his new girlfriend?
00:30:02What the fuck?
00:30:03You want to get it?
00:30:05This is a next-level violence,
00:30:26aunt.
00:30:27Yeah,
00:30:28maybe we're seeing
00:30:29V's new direction?
00:30:30Wait a second. This is clearly revenge. The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress. Could it be Ava's actually V?
00:30:43Wait! Stop! Stop! I was paid to be here. To play along. I 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.
00:30:57Who even played? Who's behind this? Who's posting this online?
00:31:02Ava?
00:31:04You... You set me up!
00:31:07Hey, back off.
00:31:08You posted this? You humiliated us?
00:31:11Humiliated? Daniel, did you ever care? Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:31:15Hey, wasn't this your big break into the film industry? Now the whole world knows you. Guess you're famous, huh?
00:31:21You are gonna pay for this!
00:31:23Run!
00:31:24Security! They're fighting!
00:31:26Daniel!
00:31:27Daniel!
00:31:28Oh.
00:31:29Whoa.
00:31:35Three years of marriage and I've never felt so... protected.
00:31:39Ladies and gentlemen, due to an emergency, V will be unable to meet if the event is over.
00:31:52No!
00:31:53Please stay tuned for more information.
00:31:55Ticket money down the drain!
00:31:57That was gonna be my big break!
00:31:59I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:32:01I just wanna see what's amazing director look 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?
00:32:11What 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?
00:32:17Are you-
00:32:18Okay, okay.
00:32:19Look, that's because I'm...
00:32:24Sorry.
00:32:25Yeah?
00:32:26Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:32:31We dug into it.
00:32:32Turns out Miss Ava is just a regular housewife.
00:32:33Got it.
00:32:34I'm sorry, I overreacted.
00:32:35I 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, and 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 fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:33:32Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
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?
00:33:43I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:33:46My grandfather doesn't play around.
00:33:48Ava, there's a lot I need to explain, but I can't do it right now.
00:33:53Can you trust me? Just play along.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:58Okay.
00:33:59Okay.
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:09William, how much do you owe?
00:34:10I hear William is your man now.
00:34:14What?
00:34:19Oh, yeah.
00:34:21Um, sir, 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?
00:34:29He 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?
00:34:36Paid off?
00:34:37There's no small amount.
00:34:38How much?
00:34:39Well, one million.
00:34:44One million.
00:34:46That's it.
00:34:47Just a million.
00:34:48You don't know the full picture.
00:34:50One 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.
00:35:03I can't.
00:35:08You'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,
00:35:19and you've been waiting tables.
00:35:22What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:35:25How did you know I was divorced?
00:35:28Did you investigate me?
00:35:30Yes, I did.
00:35:31In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:34No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or who they're with,
00:35:38I know everything.
00:35:44Did you investigate me?
00:35:45Yes, I did.
00:35:46In our line of work, information is everything.
00:35:49No matter who the debtor is, where they are, or 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.
00:36:06What?
00:36:08You've paid eleven million dollars for William?
00:36:12Why 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?
00:36:21He's worth more than all of it.
00:36:23Geez, 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.
00:36:46Now.
00:37:00Ava, are you okay?
00:37:02I'm fine.
00:37:04You, you need to learn how to be a good man.
00:37:09What?
00:37:10Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:37:17We've been working with them for years.
00:37:19I don't know. Could it be because of the live stream video?
00:37:22I mean, it has to be.
00:37:24This is all on Ava.
00:37:26I...
00:37:28I'm gonna kill her. I swear.
00:37:30I hope you do.
00:37:32I mean, with Katzenberg gone, we're missing an 80% funding gap.
00:37:36We may as well file for bankruptcy.
00:37:38Oh, Daniel, please, calm down.
00:37:41I've just gotten word that Fi's hosting auditions for her new film tomorrow.
00:37:46So, if I can get her approval...
00:37:50Well then you, as the face of our company, you'll skyrocket the stock price.
00:37:56And Katzenberg will be begging for shares.
00:37:59Oh, you genius!
00:38:01Yes!
00:38:07Sam?
00:38:08Miss, the casting call is set for tomorrow.
00:38:11I just heard. Katzenberg pulled all investments from Daniel's company.
00:38:16They'll be bankrupt by the month's end.
00:38:18Even so, I've got one last strike for this idiot.
00:38:21What do you mean?
00:38:23Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:38:25Let her know she can buy a role in my new film.
00:38:28For a high price.
00:38:39Hey, William, what's up?
00:38:41I, uh...
00:38:43I have an audition for V's movie tomorrow.
00:38:45Oh.
00:38:47Well, that's great.
00:38:48Look, I'm, I'm just too nervous.
00:38:50I can't get into any of the emotional scenes.
00:38:53Do you like baking?
00:39:07Oh, no, oh, oh!
00:39:19Ahem.
00:39:27Well, sorry I'm late.
00:39:29I'm Cameron, the producer of V's movie.
00:39:32So once I pay, Sophia's got the role, right?
00:39:36Of course.
00:39:37This is perfect.
00:39:38What's going on?
00:39:39Uh, nothing.
00:39:41You want more cake?
00:39:42Yeah.
00:39:44Okay, I think we might have had, like, a little bit too much.
00:39:49No, you're not even tipsy.
00:39:51And I'm, I'm fine.
00:39:52All right, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:39:54Yeah, sure thing.
00:39:58Can I kiss you?
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.
00:40:10Oh, oh, yeah!
00:40:19Can I kiss you?
00:40:29You should probably take that.
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:39Why the hell?
00:40:42How many times I was just starting to feel it?
00:40:46Hmm.
00:40:47Well, look at you back in character.
00:40:49I think my job here is done.
00:40:52Time to get some sleep and get the showers.
00:40:59Wow, Ava, you're stunning.
00:41:09No one would believe that director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same
00:41:14person.
00:41:15Hmm.
00:41:16Well, you know I never cared for the public perception, but God, I can't wait to see Daniel
00:41:20and Sophia's faces when they find out the truth.
00:41:23Hello?
00:41:24Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:41:33What's wrong?
00:41:34Has something happened?
00:41:35No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:41:41Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:41:44Uh, um, uh, could you be my partner?
00:41:55Uh, um, alright, 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.
00:42:06Uh, Ava, where are you going?
00:42:12If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:42:15Who will choose the actors?
00:42:16Okay.
00:42:17You'll handle it.
00:42:20Me?
00:42:21Me?
00:42:36Fuck!
00:42:37Ava!
00:42:38What are they doing here?
00:42:39First she ruins my company, now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:42:43Alright, let's get this casting underway.
00:42:51I can't love you anymore.
00:42:55Please, please, let me go.
00:42:58Let us bury our love in the past.
00:43:01And never look back.
00:43:06Cut.
00:43:07Next.
00:43:08What's going on?
00:43:09I didn't finish my lines.
00:43:10That's enough.
00:43:11He gave me zero emotion.
00:43:12I put my heart into that scene.
00:43:13He gave me nothing.
00:43:14If you have a complaint, feel free to follow me.
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.
00:43:32Makes 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.
00:43:48She has no right to audition.
00:43:53What's going on here?
00:43:54It's simple.
00:43:55I brought my fiance 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 just gonna 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.
00:44:12Sofia, 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?
00:44:21Training doesn't guarantee impact.
00:44:25You 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.
00:44:34You're up.
00:44:35You know, you say you love me, but...
00:44:36I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:44:38Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:44:40Who says that I can't?
00:44:42I can't.
00:44:43I can see your strength.
00:44:44Your kindness and the vulnerability beneath it.
00:44:45I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars.
00:44:47I know we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I see you better than...
00:44:48I see myself.
00:44:49And I love you.
00:44:50And I love you.
00:44:51Before you go.
00:44:52Can you kiss me once more?
00:44:53Can you kiss me once more?
00:44:54I can't.
00:44:55I mean, you don't even know who I am.
00:44:56Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:44:57Who says that I can't?
00:44:58I 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, but I feel like I see you better than...
00:45:12I see myself and I love you.
00:45:17Before you go.
00:45:18Can you kiss me once more?
00:45:33Bitch 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.
00:45:49It's a good thing we've got a backup plan.
00:45:52Who cares about acting anyway?
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55I 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.
00:46:12Why 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?!
00:46:20No way!
00:46:22Ava, 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.
00:46:44So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing!
00:46:50So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing!
00:46:52Oh, is that so?
00:46:53You 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...
00:47:06I 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.
00:47:14Prove it?
00:47:15You're just some nobody pretending to be some film investor?
00:47:19Do you know how many millions it's gonna 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.
00:47:48Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:47:51A washed-up actor trying to use a prop as the real card.
00:47:56The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America.
00:47:58Got 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!
00:48:23Grandpa?
00:48:25Why is he here?
00:48:26Oh no, this is bad.
00:48:28Mr. Johnson, it is a pleasure to see you.
00:48:30Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:48:31You got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:48:33We're working on it.
00:48:35May I ask, why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:48:38We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name.
00:48:40What?
00:48:41Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:48:42Well, as a matter of fact, you came at the perfect time.
00:48:44What?
00:48:45What?

00:57:51Do you even realize what you're doing is a crime?
00:57:53Fuck you.
00:57:56Everything is your fault, Eve.
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?
00:58:11You just need to calm down.
00:58:12Shut up.
00:58:13Shut the fuck up.
00:58:16I'm going to take you to hell.
00:58:17I'm going to take you to hell.
00:58:17I'm going to take you to hell.
00:58:47I'm going to take you to hell.
00:58:49Say goodbye.
00:58:52Give it up, Ava.
00:58:54I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:58:56I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:59:17I'm burning everything to the ground.
00:59:36I know.
00:59:38She'll must go on.
00:59:55She'll must go on.
00:59:58Ava?
01:00:03William!
01:00:05Hey, hang on, okay?
01:00:06I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:00:08Please, just stay with me, okay?
01:00:10You're going to be okay.
01:00:18Vee, Vee, come here.
01:00:20Vee, please.
01:00:21One second.
01:00:21Just 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.
01:00:35The 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...
01:00:50And where is that special someone?
01:00:58He...
01:00:59Congratulations, Ava.
01:01:14Or should I say Vee.
01:01:17It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:01:19It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:01:22So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:01:29Ava, since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:01:34You've been flirting with death.
01:01:36On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask.
01:01:41Will you marry me?
01:01:48William.
01:01:52No.
01:01:58You have to marry me.
01:02:00No.
01:02:00You have to marry me.
01:02:11No.
01:02:12You have to marry me.
01:02:12No.
01:02:29No.
01:02:29No.
01:02:39No.
