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, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.
00:00:33Get it done or go waste time in a different restaurant.
00:00:42Psst, Ava.
00:00:46Didn't I tell you if I don't call for you, don't show up?
00:00:48I have some news for you. Your husband, Mr. Daniel Ross?
00:00:52I hear he's hosting a banquet here tonight.
00:00:55I think he's even bringing along his cast from his latest production.
00:00:58I know. Today's our anniversary and I've been supporting him for three years.
00:01:02So tonight I'm going to reveal my true identity.
00:01:07Sam, it's finally my time.
00:01:10Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:11Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:15Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:17Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise today.
00:01:31Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:36I've been through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:40Babe, 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.
00:02:10So 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 Sophia, my future.
00:02:44What? 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.
00:02:58God 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.
00:03:12She's driven.
00:03:13And she's going to take our company to the top.
00:03:17What could she possibly do for you?
00:03:20I've just been cast as the lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:24And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:28You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:30Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:36And trust me, she would never pick you.
00:03:46She'd never pick you.
00:03:48You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:51How are you saying this?
00:03:56She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:58I know she's talking about the casting.
00:03:59He lies.
00:04:00Exactly.
00:04:01No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:04Too embarrassing.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:05What 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?
00:04:23Listen.
00:04:23Everything 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.
00:04:47Hmm.
00:04:49Hmm.
00:04:51Oh my god damn you, that's Versace.
00:04:55You crazy woman!
00:04:56You crazy woman!
00:05:03You crazy woman!
00:05:05Who the hell are you?
00:05:11She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:13Light pink dress?
00:05:14That must be her.
00:05:21Apologize to the lady.
00:05:23Let 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!
00:05:33God!
00:05:33Oh, you had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:38Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim while you were using my money to pay off your side, bitch!
00:05:44You know what?
00:05:45You're absolutely right.
00:05:46And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:50I'm marrying him.
00:05:51What?
00:05:59What?
00:06:05I'm Ava.
00:06:06You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:06:09Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:12Actor?
00:06:12I, uh...
00:06:13Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:15I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:17Just name your price.
00:06:19Excuse 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.
00:06:30Um, you know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:36Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:38Perfect.
00:06:39Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:06:42Um, should...
00:06:50Should we...
00:06:52There you go.
00:06:58Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:19Uh, did you change the gate passcode?
00:07:21I can't get in.
00:07:23That's the idea.
00:07:24How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:27Miss Bryan told me 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.
00:08:00Hello?
00:08:07Hey!
00:08:07It's me!
00:08:09Oh, um, hey, uh, what's up?
00:08:12Uh, I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:23Hey!
00:08:24Um, so what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:29Well, 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.
00:08:42You live here.
00:08:55Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:58Uh...
00:08:59Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:07Uh, no.
00:09:08Oh, this belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:12I'm just half-sitting.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:15Uh, make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:30Damn.
00:09:31Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:34Ah!
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:38Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:54Do you want pizza?
00:09:57Yeah, yeah.
00:09:59Pizza works.
00:10:01All right.
00:10:03Um.
00:10:03I'll go make an order.
00:10:09All right.
00:10:12Hmm.
00:10:13Oh, you're...
00:10:14Hey, Peter.
00:10:28Run a check on this girl.
00:10:29Oh.
00:10:33Oh, my God.
00:10:37Mike.
00:10:38What?
00:10:38Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:41What the?
00:10:43Ah!
00:10:44I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:49I swear if he heard my Ava,
00:10:52that's it.
00:10:54Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me?
00:10:57They're dead.
00:10:57Hey.
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.
00:11:26You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:11:52Other than my parents.
00:11:54Yeah.
00:11:54I know.
00:11:55Do I think you ate something bad?
00:12:00It's just an allergy.
00:12:02I probably should have checked if the pizza had any soy before eating like half of it.
00:12:08But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:12What are you doing?
00:12:27What are you doing?

00:22:13I'm, um, I'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 go let the rocks in.
00:22:31No worries.
00:22:32My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:22:35Um, I've made a mistake.
00:22:36Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:22:39Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:22:42Oh, babe, your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:22:47No, it's you.
00:22:49You're my superstar.
00:23:03She's not here.
00:23:05Yes, I messed up.
00:23:08Of course, why would Ava have it anyway?
00:23:14Stupid.
00:23:16Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious,
00:23:23Director V graces the stage.
00:23:25Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious,
00:23:40Director V graces the stage.
00:23:47V, she feels so familiar.
00:23:50Almost like Ava.
00:23:51Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:23:54I can't believe that the legendary Director V is a woman.
00:23:58It's been three years in her last project.
00:24:00Can't wait to see her next one.
00:24:02This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.
00:24:07No way.
00:24:08Ava's low-class looks could never compare to V.
00:24:11Yeah, you're right.
00:24:13I married her for three years.
00:24:15I know her inside and out.
00:24:19She can never compare to V.
00:24:22Idiots.
00:24:23Time to show you how blind you really are.
00:24:28It's too much of a coincidence.
00:24:30I need to check this out.
00:24:31Oh, my God, V.
00:24:37Baby, is V walking towards me?
00:24:39Is she going to choose me?
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:42I've always said you're my diamond.
00:24:44You're going to get your big break.
00:24:46My investment's going to pay off.
00:24:47Be careful, be careful.
00:24:53You're going to get your big break.
00:24:55My investment's going to pay off.
00:24:57Be careful, be careful.
00:24:58Oh, my God, is V okay?
00:25:02Dammit!
00:25:02Who made these damn stairs?
00:25:04This is going to ruin our chances.
00:25:08Are you okay?
00:25:09William?
00:25:10No, no, no, no, no.
00:25:10I can't let him know who I am.
00:25:12I am...
00:25:13No, hey, no, wait, wait.
00:25:15No, oh.
00:25:17It's okay.
00:25:18It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
00:25:19It's okay.
00:25:24I've seen this bracelet before.
00:25:28But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:25:35Ava?
00:25:36Could V really be Ava?
00:25:40Excuse me, Mrs. Raw?
00:25:48That's me.
00:25:49Who are you?
00:25:50Director V wants you to audition as a male actor in room 301.
00:25:56Oh, my God.
00:25:58V wants me to audition.
00:25:59This is going to be my big break.
00:26:01I'm on my way.
00:26:02Everything set?
00:26:15Everything is going to plan.
00:26:23James?
00:26:24Whoa, whoa, look who it is.
00:26:27Oh, babe, I have missed you since we broke up.
00:26:30What the hell are you doing here?
00:26:37What the hell are you doing here?
00:26:39Well, I...
00:26:40The audition for Director V starts now.
00:26:53The scene is called The Affair.
00:26:55You must play a couple having a secret meeting while each has their own family.
00:27:00Cameras are set up.
00:27:02Start whenever you're ready.
00:27:03All right, let's do this.
00:27:07As you wish.
00:27:16Honey, I'm so sorry, Emily.
00:27:20I had to wait forever for my husband to fall asleep so I would come.
00:27:24Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:31Hope you aren't waiting too long.
00:27:33The stream is officially live.
00:27:40Let's add another play to the game.
00:27:41Amp up the drama.
00:27:46Oh, this bitch won't leave me alone.
00:27:50This show's about to get good.
00:27:58What the fuck?
00:28:01Without Sophia's ex,
00:28:03James, what 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.
00:28:13Okay, we have to break up.
00:28:14Come.
00:28:15You're the only one.
00:28:17Shh.
00:28:17You bitch.
00:28:24You bitch.
00:28:25You bitch.
00:28:25Fuck.
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?
00:28:47But then the script, you asshole, come on.
00:28:51It's an affair, okay?
00:28:52We're just acting for an audition.
00:28:54It's for the audition.
00:28:55Come on.
00:28:56You really think you're going to intimidate me?
00:29:00I'm doing this for your company.
00:29:01I'm doing this for V.
00:29:02Ah, save it, all right?
00:29:05If V wanted you here, where is she?
00:29:08I mean, with all your talent, you think she would notice you by now?
00:29:13What a melodramatic twist within a twist.
00:29:16Is it movie project?
00:29:18Fuck up.
00:29:18You know that if it wasn't for me, your company would be underground.
00:29:22Oh, now the truth is coming out, isn't it?
00:29:24You thought you could sleep with your ex without me finding out.
00:29:29Oh, and you're so perfect.
00:29:31You cheating on your wife with me, you asshole.
00:29:35What the fuck?
00:29:41What the fuck?
00:29:51Yeah, you wanna get it?
00:29:52This doesn't look like acting.
00:29:53Yeah, this 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?
00:30:04Yeah, you want again?
00:30:05Jis, this is the next level violence, Aunt.
00:30:13Geez, this is the next level of violence, Aunt.
00:30:27Yeah, maybe we're seeing V's new direction?
00:30:30Wait a second.
00:30:32This is clearly revenge.
00:30:33The live stream of Ava's ex and his mistress.
00:30:36Could it be Ava's actually V?
00:30:43Wait, stop, stop.
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, you sent me off.
00:31:07Back off.
00:31:08You posted this?
00:31:10You humiliated us?
00:31:11Humiliated?
00:31:12Daniel, did you ever care?
00:31:14Because I didn't see any of that in the video.
00:31:15Hey, wasn't this your big break into the film industry?
00:31:18Now the whole world knows you.
00:31:20Guess you're famous, huh?
00:31:21You are going to pay for this.
00:31:24Run!
00:31:25Security!
00:31:25They're fighting!
00:31:27Daniel!
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.
00:31:56Ticket money down the drain!
00:31:57That was going to be my big break!
00:31:59I was just hoping for a signed picture.
00:32:02I just want to see what's amazing the director looks like.
00:32:06Hey, hey, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, Ava, wait, wait.
00:32:09What is up with that video online?
00:32:11What video?
00:32:12The video of your ex and that woman.
00:32:15Why is it posted from V's account?
00:32:17Why is V trying to take them down?
00:32:18Are you...
00:32:18Okay, okay.
00:32:19Look, that's because I'm...
00:32:26Sorry.
00:32:29Yeah?
00:32:30Sir, we've uncovered Ava's real identity.
00:32:35We dug into it.
00:32:37Turns out Miss Ava is just a regular housewife.
00:32:40Got it.
00:32:41I'm sorry.
00:32:44I overreacted.
00:32:46I guess, with us about to marry, I just realized how little I really know about you.
00:32:52And it just scared me a little bit.
00:32:54About to marry?
00:32:56We're just in a contract marriage, aren't we?
00:32:58Yeah, I mean, but you could say all marriage is a contract.
00:33:03And I thought we were so much more.
00:33:06You mean a lot to me, Ava.
00:33:08And I thought you could feel it, too.
00:33:11I never got to thank you for rescuing me last night.
00:33:14If you hadn't stood up to Daniel, I might be in the hospital right now.
00:33:18I mean, in such a short time, you've given me care and protection that I never had in my marriage.
00:33:28If anyone hurts my fiancé, I'll make them regret it.
00:33:33Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
00:33:38Sorry to interrupt you, sir.
00:33:41But a master wants to see you.
00:33:42Hey, wait, who are you?
00:33:44I should persuade Ava to cooperate.
00:33:47My grandfather doesn't play around.
00:33:49Ava, there's a lot I need to explain, but I can't do it right now.
00:33:54Can you trust me?
00:33:57Just play along.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:09William, how much do you owe?
00:34:10I hear William is your man now.
00:34:14What?
00:34:19Oh, yeah.
00:34:22Sir, why am I the only one allowed in?
00:34:24Why can't William come?
00:34:25Because to me, he's just a fool.
00:34:28How dare you say that about him?
00:34:30He owes you money, right?
00:34:32What if I said yes?
00:34:33How much?
00:34:34Tell me and I'll pay it off for him.
00:34:35Pay it off?
00:34:36It's no small amount.
00:34:38How much?
00:34:39Well, one million.
00:34:44One million.
00:34:46That's it.
00:34:47What, just a million?
00:34:49You don't know the full picture.
00:34:51One million is just the interest.
00:34:54The principal sum is ten million.
00:34:56Ten million?
00:34:58What did he borrow that kind of money for?
00:34:59I don't care.
00:35:01I just want to know if you can pay it off.
00:35:04I can.
00:35:08You'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.
00:35:20You've been waiting tables.
00:35:22What savings could you possibly have accumulated?
00:35:25How did you know I was divorced?
00:35:27Did you investigate me?
00:35:30Yes, I did.
00:35:31In our line of work,
00:35:32information is everything.
00:35:34No matter who the debtor is,
00:35:36where they are,
00:35:37or who they're with,
00:35:38I know everything.
00:35:43Did you investigate me?
00:35:45Yes, I did.
00:35:46In our line of work,
00:35:48information is everything.
00:35:49No matter who the debtor is,
00:35:51where they are,
00:35:52or who they're with,
00:35:54I know everything.
00:35:55Try digging a little deeper.
00:35:57My cheating ex
00:35:58is a CEO of a listed company.
00:36:01And the divorce settlement,
00:36:02it's hefty.
00:36:06What?
00:36:08You've paid 11 million dollars for William?
00:36:11Why did you pay such a huge amount
00:36:13for that scumbag?
00:36:14Maybe to you,
00:36:15he's just a broke jerk.
00:36:16When I needed him,
00:36:17he was there.
00:36:18Money's one thing,
00:36:19but William,
00:36:20he's worth more than all of it.
00:36:23Geez,
00:36:29it's as if destiny
00:36:31is pulling strings.
00:36:33How did William meet someone
00:36:35this perfect?
00:36:37Her ex must be a total jerk.
00:36:42Pull every single penny
00:36:45out of Daniel Roth's investments.
00:36:47Now.
00:36:48Now.
00:36:48Ava,
00:37:00are you okay?
00:37:01I'm fine.
00:37:03You,
00:37:04you need to learn
00:37:05how to be a good man.
00:37:09What?
00:37:14Why did Katzenberg pull out?
00:37:16We've been working with them
00:37:18for years.
00:37:19I don't know.
00:37:20Could it be because
00:37:20of the live stream video?
00:37:22I mean,
00:37:22it has to be.
00:37:23This is all on Ava.
00:37:26I,
00:37:26I,
00:37:26I'm going to kill her.
00:37:28I swear.
00:37:30I hope you do.
00:37:31I mean,
00:37:32with Katzenberg gone,
00:37:33we're missing
00:37:34an 80% funding gap.
00:37:36We may as well
00:37:37file for bankruptcy.
00:37:39Oh,
00:37:39Daniel,
00:37:39please,
00:37:40calm down.
00:37:41I've just gotten word
00:37:42that Fee's hosting auditions
00:37:44for her new film tomorrow.
00:37:45So,
00:37:46if I can get her approval.
00:37:50Well,
00:37:50then you,
00:37:51as the face of our company,
00:37:53you'll skyrocket
00:37:55the stock price.
00:37:56Katzenberg will be
00:37:57begging for shares.
00:37:59Oh,
00:38:00you genius!
00:38:07Sam?
00:38:08Miss,
00:38:09the casting call
00:38:09is set for tomorrow.
00:38:11I just heard,
00:38:12Katzenberg pulled
00:38:13all investments
00:38:14from Daniel's company.
00:38:15They'll be bankrupt
00:38:16by the month's end.
00:38:17Even so,
00:38:18I've got one last strike
00:38:20for this idiot.
00:38:21What do you mean?
00:38:23Have Cameron contact Sophia.
00:38:25Let her know
00:38:25she can buy a role
00:38:26in my new film.
00:38:28For a high price.
00:38:29I have an audition
00:38:43for V's movie tomorrow.
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:46Well,
00:38:46that's great.
00:38:47Yeah,
00:38:48um,
00:38:48look,
00:38:49I'm,
00:38:49I'm just too nervous.
00:38:50I can't get into
00:38:51any of the emotional scenes.
00:38:53Do you like baking?
00:38:54Oh,
00:39:07no,
00:39:08oh,
00:39:08oh!
00:39:09Sorry I'm late, I'm Cameron, the producer of these movies.
00:39:32So once I pay, Sophie's got the role, right?
00:39:36Of course.
00:39:43This is perfect.
00:39:49What's going on?
00:39:50Uh, nothing.
00:39:52You 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.
00:40:06Alright, then maybe we should drink some more then.
00:40:08Yeah, sure thing.
00:40:09Sure thing.
00:40:19Can I kiss you?
00:40:20You should probably take that.
00:40:27No.
00:40:28Why the hell?
00:40:29How many times I was just trying to feel it?
00:40:34Hmm.
00:40:35Well, look at you back in character.
00:40:37I think my job here is done.
00:40:41Time to get some sleep and get the showers.
00:40:48Wow, Ava, you're stunning.
00:40:49No one would believe that Director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:41:04Hmm.
00:41:05Well, 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.
00:41:11Hello?
00:41:12Hello?
00:41:13Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:41:14What's wrong?
00:41:15Has something happened?
00:41:16No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scene.
00:41:18I'm just a little worried about the emotional scene.
00:41:19I don't believe that Director V and the richest heiress in town are actually the same person.
00:41:20Hmm.
00:41:21Well, 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.
00:41:24Hello?
00:41:25Ava, can you do me a favor?
00:41:30What's wrong?
00:41:31Has something happened?
00:41:32No, I'm just a little worried about the emotional scenes today.
00:41:42Could you be my partner and help me run through it?
00:41:46Uh, um, uh.
00:41:51Could you be my partner?
00:41:56Um, alright, um, yeah, no, I mean, of course, I'll go with you.
00:42:01Ava, thank you.
00:42:03I'll send you the location for casting.
00:42:07Yeah, okay, bye.
00:42:11Ava, where are you going?
00:42:13If you leave, who will run the casting?
00:42:16Who will choose the actors?
00:42:21You'll handle it.
00:42:22Me?
00:42:26I'll do it.
00:42:38Fuck!
00:42:39Eva!
00:42:40What are they doing here?
00:42:41First she ruins my company.
00:42:42Now she wants to ruin the audition.
00:42:44Alright, let's get this casting underway.
00:42:48I can't love you anymore
00:42:57Please, please, let me go
00:43:00Let us bury our love in the past
00:43:03And never look back
00:43:08Cut
00:43:09Next
00:43:11What's going on?
00:43:13I didn't finish my lines
00:43:14That's enough
00:43:16He gave me zero emotion
00:43:18I put my heart into that scene
00:43:19He gave me nothing
00:43:21If you have a complaint
00:43:22Feel free to file a complaint form
00:43:24But for now, please leave the audition area
00:43:27You're acting
00:43:32Makes me want to puke
00:43:35Next
00:43:38That's our turn
00:43:40Hey
00:43:41You got this
00:43:43Whoa
00:43:46Sorry
00:43:47This woman is not an actress
00:43:50She has no right to audition
00:43:51What's going on here?
00:43:56It's simple
00:43:57I brought my fiancé to audition
00:43:59It'll help me give a better performance
00:44:03This is V's casting
00:44:04Come on
00:44:05Only prose allowed
00:44:06You're just gonna let some untrained housewife sneak her way in?
00:44:09Once this leaks
00:44:11V's reputation will be ruined
00:44:12And you'll be fired
00:44:14Sophia, you are not V
00:44:15How could you know what she cares about?
00:44:19What does it matter if she's a pro?
00:44:23Training doesn't guarantee impact
00:44:25No, you can still touch hearts
00:44:29As long as you're feeling and in the role
00:44:32That's what a true actor does
00:44:35All right
00:44:43You're up
00:44:45You know, you say you love me, but
00:44:51I mean, you don't even know who I am
00:44:54Can you really love someone you barely know?
00:44:57Who says that I can't?
00:44:59I can see your strength
00:45:01Your kindness
00:45:03And the vulnerability beneath it
00:45:05I mean, I feel your pain and see your scars
00:45:09I know we've only known each other a short time
00:45:11But I feel like I see you better than
00:45:13I see myself
00:45:15And I love you
00:45:18Before you go
00:45:20Can you kiss me once more?
00:45:21It really knows how to fake it
00:45:37Now for the official casting results
00:45:40It's a good thing we've got a backup plan
00:45:46It's a good thing we've got a backup plan
00:45:53Who cares about acting anyway?
00:45:56Yeah
00:45:56I mean, acting is nothing really
00:45:59Money is how you get the role
00:46:01Eto'o
00:46:04Effie
00:46:06Kevin
00:46:08William
00:46:10Oh my god, what?
00:46:11That's incredible
00:46:12William, you're amazing
00:46:13Why am I not on this list?
00:46:16They're still going
00:46:17Okay
00:46:17It's okay
00:46:19Uh, last, Ava
00:46:21What?
00:46:22No way
00:46:22Ava, you got in as well
00:46:25This isn't fair
00:46:31The Lisbon chair would work
00:46:32There is cheating going on in this casting
00:46:35Where's your proof?
00:46:37Without anything to back it up, that's slandering
00:46:39Proof?
00:46:40Well, um
00:46:41I paid 50 million to the producer to get her a role
00:46:45Yeah, and they've already taken the money
00:46:47So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing
00:46:49So if I don't get the lead role, we're suing
00:46:55Oh, is that so?
00:46:56You know, it's funny you say that
00:46:58Because I haven't heard anything about it
00:47:00Wait, what are you talking about?
00:47:04Ava, I need to tell you something
00:47:05Um
00:47:07I am actually an investor in the film
00:47:11William, please don't get carried over
00:47:14No, it's true, okay?
00:47:15I'll prove it to you
00:47:17Prove it?
00:47:18You're just some nobody
00:47:19Pretending to be some film investor?
00:47:22Do you know how many millions it's going to take to make this movie?
00:47:25Wait a minute
00:47:30Is that a Katzenberg black card?
00:47:44My full name is William Katzenberg
00:47:48Oh, you have lost it now, haven't you?
00:47:53A washed-up actor
00:47:54Trying to use a prop as the real card
00:47:57The Katzenbergs are the top three family in America
00:48:01Got connections everywhere
00:48:02And this nobody is pretending to be one
00:48:05Mr. Katzenberg has arrived
00:48:10Katzenberg?
00:48:13Oh my god, he's William's creditor
00:48:15Shit
00:48:16Grandpa?
00:48:26Why is he here?
00:48:28Oh no, this is bad
00:48:29Oh no, this is bad
00:48:36Mr. Johnson
00:48:39It is a pleasure to see you
00:48:41Daniel, what are you doing here?
00:48:44You got that funding issue sorted yet?
00:48:47We're working on it
00:48:48May I ask
00:48:49Why did the Katzenbergs drop out of our project?
00:48:52We don't want the people abusing the Katzenberg name
00:48:55What?
00:48:56Wait, wait, wait
00:48:57Well, as a matter of fact
00:48:58You came at the perfect time
00:48:59Because somebody here
00:49:01Is using the Katzenberg name
00:49:03Oh, now you have my attention
00:49:05And I'm very curious
00:49:07Who's got the guts to pull that off?
00:49:10Him
00:49:11Sir?
00:49:18Hey, what the hell?
00:49:27You're chasing me down now?
00:49:29I already paid you back
00:49:30I already paid you back
00:49:36Ava, what do you mean you paid back my grandfather?
00:49:38I already paid
00:49:39Wait, are you calling him your grandfather?
00:49:43This is my grandson
00:49:45William Katzenberg
00:49:48Official heir to the Katzenberg family fortune
00:49:51What does this mean?
00:49:53This can't be
00:49:55Daniel, I don't need your opinion on how to choose an heir
00:49:59Oh
00:50:01So this is how it is
00:50:04Well, the Katzenbergs are using their movies
00:50:08To launder their dirty money
00:50:10Hey, hey, you watch your mouth
00:50:11Slandering us like that will land you in prison
00:50:14Daniel, before you jump to conclusions
00:50:17There's someone I'd like you to meet
00:50:19Cameron
00:50:25Wait, Ava, you know him?
00:50:28You two have been working together this whole time?
00:50:38Cameron
00:50:38How dare you impersonate V's producer?
00:50:41Sorry, I'm not impersonating anybody
00:50:44I am V's producer
00:50:46Then why are you working with this bitch?
00:50:49What's in it for you?
00:50:51I told you that I'm V's producer
00:50:53And you know what?
00:50:55I take my odors
00:50:57From her
00:50:58What are you talking about?
00:51:01Honestly, like
00:51:02Who even is V?
00:51:04I mean
00:51:04I don't know her
00:51:05I've got no beef with her
00:51:07So
00:51:07Why would she send you
00:51:09To ruin me?
00:51:11Right, so
00:51:11You would like me
00:51:12To
00:51:13Unlift all
00:51:14And reveal
00:51:15Who V is today
00:51:17Well
00:51:18Ava
00:51:19Is that okay?
00:51:21Yeah

00:51:23That's correct
00:51:24This is the mysterious
00:51:26The fabulous

00:52:17From here on out
00:52:18You have the right to remain silent
00:52:19Anything you say
00:52:20Will be used against you in court
00:52:21What are you talking about?
00:52:26I

00:52:52I knew something was off
00:52:54Yes, okay
00:52:55I haven't been completely honest with you
00:52:58But
00:52:58And you haven't been very truthful to me either, right?
00:53:03I've wanted to be honest
00:53:05But you know how lies can top on top of each other
00:53:08Look, it's all over now
00:53:09I'm sorry, but I can't move past this
00:53:11If we can't even be honest with each other
00:53:13Then maybe
00:53:14Maybe it's time we cool off
00:53:18Ava
00:53:19I can see how much you care for each other
00:53:22Thank you, Frank

00:55:02Can't you stay a few more days just to be with us?
00:55:06Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:55:11I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:55:15Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:55:18You deserve a bigger world.
00:55:20Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:55:24No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think, I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:55:30If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:55:34As long as you're happy.
00:55:35Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.
00:55:39A guy with eight pack abs still does it for me.
00:55:43Anyway, my driver's waiting.

01:00:09Please just stay with me, okay? You're gonna be okay.
01:00:20Vee, Vee, come here. Vee, please.
01:00:22One second.
01:00:24Vee, what was the inspiration for your ladies?
01:00:27Is it true that the movie was based on real events?
01:00:29Miss Vee, over here.
01:00:33Vee, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:00:38The question everybody's been wondering, is Vee alone at this big premiere?
01:00:44Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:00:48And where is that special someone?
01:00:51He...
01:00:57And where is that special someone?
01:00:59He...
01:01:00Congratulations, Ava. Or should I say Vee.
01:01:19It's quite the turnout tonight.
01:01:21You'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:01:24So I thought I'd...
01:01:26Surprise you in a different way.
01:01:31Ava...
01:01:32Since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:01:35You've been flirting with death.
01:01:38On the day of your movie premiere, and on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:01:42Will you marry me?
01:01:45William...
01:01:47No.
01:01:49No.
01:01:51You have to marry me.
01:01:53No.
01:02:00You have to marry me.
01:02:01You have to marry me.
