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

00:57:08Long time, you'll see.
00:57:10You were green.
00:57:11Long time, you'll see.
00:57:14Long time, you'll see.
00:57:45William, I'll admit it.
00:57:47I'm not like I was with my ex.
00:57:49Walking away from you is way harder.
00:57:52But without me,

01:01:24Miss V, over here.
01:01:28V, you are looking stunning tonight, as always.
01:01:32The question everybody's been wondering,
01:01:35is V alone at this big premiere?
01:01:38Well, I was supposed to be accompanied by a very special person tonight.
01:01:42And where is that special someone?

01:02:01It'll be no surprise that your new film is another hit.
01:02:02So I thought I'd surprise you in a different way.
01:02:15Ava.
01:02:16Ava.
01:02:17Since we've met, we've been through so much together.
01:02:18Even flirting with death.
01:02:19On the day of your movie premiere.
01:02:20And on your very special day, I have to ask...
01:02:22Will you marry me?
01:02:23William.
01:02:24William.
01:02:25William.
01:02:26William.
