Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Hey babe. Hey. How are you doing? Good day. Oh good. I handed in that audition for that role I told you about. Yeah? Yeah, hope I book it. Well, if you did a good job, you'll book it. That's how it works. I know. I just haven't booked anything for a while and, you know, it's been really, really difficult lately to, you know, even get a call back. Well, I did offer you a few roles, but you didn't want to.
00:00:27Yeah, but I don't want to do those type of roles, babe. You know, like I want to do a role where I'm telling a story and, you know, I'm not just showing my body. It's a shame though, because it's a hell of a body. Yeah, but I don't want to flirt or, you know, use my sexuality to get to the top. I want them to cast me because of my acting skills.
00:00:51Yeah, but that's not how show biz works, baby. Pretty little thing like you, you know, you've got to sweet talk your way to the top. Those acting skills alone are not going to be enough.
00:01:01No, I'm not going to flirt my way to the top. Plus, I'm committed to you. So why can't you put me in your movies?
00:01:10Because the kind of movies that I'm producing, you are not right for.
00:01:18We've talked about this.
00:01:20I know. I just feel like there's nothing going right in my life right now.
00:01:28Anyway, I got you something.
00:01:31And I'm sure it's beautiful, but do you know what I really want, Mitch?
00:01:41What?
00:01:43I don't want us to hide our relationship anymore, okay?
00:01:46You know, these directors, these producers, they might actually take me seriously if I know I'm with you.
00:01:51Bullshit. It would make it even worse, if anything.
00:01:54You'd have directors and producers that wouldn't even want to give you an audition because we're together.
00:01:58You don't understand how this industry works like I do.
00:02:01Okay. What if I gave up acting?
00:02:05Well...
00:02:06I would give up acting for you.
00:02:09Yeah, well, it's not really the right time for that.
00:02:11I mean, the way my career is and where I'm at, I can't pursue an official relationship.
00:02:16And to be honest, I can't be seen with a struggling actress.
00:02:19A struggling actress?
00:02:20Okay, so that's why you don't want to be with me.
00:02:23Great. Now I know.
00:02:24Look, I don't know, all right?
00:02:26But you know what I'm saying.
00:02:28It's just it's not the right time.
00:02:29I mean, fuck, I just don't test my patience, all right?
00:02:33Right, all right. I'm sorry.
00:02:35Hey, I'm sorry.
00:02:36All right.
00:02:37Hey, I won't bring it up again.
00:02:40Mary, like I said, I got you something.
00:02:44Hey.
00:02:45And it's beautiful.
00:02:51There was one more thing I wanted to talk to you about later.
00:02:56What?
00:02:58You know what?
00:02:59Don't worry about it, okay?
00:03:00Just don't worry.
00:03:02Hey.
00:03:02What is wrong with you today?
00:03:05You're going to have to make it up to me, aren't you?
00:03:07You're going to have to make it up to me today.
00:03:09Yeah.
00:03:09You're going to have to make it up to me today.
00:03:09Yeah.
00:03:10Yeah.
00:03:10Okay.
00:03:10Okay.
00:03:10Okay.
00:03:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:18Can I help you?
00:03:19Sorry.
00:03:20I'm actually a really big fan of Al Gore.
00:03:23Seriously?
00:03:24What?
00:03:24That's...
00:03:26Yeah, all this gold.
00:03:28Hi.
00:03:29Oh, do you want to have a seat?
00:03:31I'd love to.
00:03:32Hi.
00:03:32Hi, I'm Alex.
00:03:34Claire, lovely to meet you.
00:03:36Nice to meet you.
00:03:38Sorry.
00:03:39It's okay.
00:03:40Sorry about that.
00:03:41So you're a fan of Gore's work?
00:03:44Yeah.
00:03:44I mean, I love all the classics and, you know, come to the library and get to chill out and
00:03:51just escape the world.
00:03:53Yeah, exactly.
00:03:54And, you know, I'm actually writing a screenplay on this book.
00:03:57Oh, you're a screenplay writer, are you?
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00Well, that's amazing.
00:04:01Yeah, I write screenplays for a living.
00:04:03Oh, very cool.
00:04:03Screenplay writer.
00:04:04That's...
00:04:05That's amazing.
00:04:06Very cool.
00:04:08Well, I actually work as an actress.
00:04:10Really?
00:04:11Yeah.
00:04:11Wow.
00:04:12Okay.
00:04:12Well, how's that going?
00:04:13Well, it's good, but it's...
00:04:16It's been a bit hard to book work lately.
00:04:18Tell me about it.
00:04:19Yeah, you feel me?
00:04:21Yeah.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:22No, I'm struggling as well, but...
00:04:26I have a feeling that things are going to come around, you know?
00:04:30Yeah, definitely.
00:04:32I mean, I really hope they do.
00:04:38Yeah.
00:04:39What's...
00:04:40What's wrong?
00:04:42Everything all right?
00:04:43Yeah.
00:04:44Look, I don't mean to bring up anything negative, but...
00:04:47Some of you.
00:04:49You know, just work, and then, you know, a problem with our...
00:04:53My relationship that hasn't been going very smooth lately...
00:04:57It's just, it is a lot on my mind.
00:05:00Do you want to talk about it?
00:05:03There's not much to say.
00:05:05I mean, a relationship with a man that, um...
00:05:09Doesn't want to be in public with me...
00:05:11A relationship has to say, secret.
00:05:13Why does it have to be secret?
00:05:16Because of who he is.
00:05:18It'll damage his reputation.
00:05:20Right.
00:05:21He's a, um...
00:05:22He's a producer as well.
00:05:24Who?
00:05:25Um, do you know Mitch Sterling?
00:05:28You're kidding.
00:05:31Yeah.
00:05:31It's just, well, I mean...
00:05:35Nah, I've met the guy a couple of times, but...
00:05:39Yeah, I can tell you I'm not friends with him in any way.
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:44No, and to...
00:05:45Make it worse, I'm actually pregnant.
00:05:49I'm having a little baby girl.
00:05:51Wow.
00:05:52Well, there's a...
00:05:56Silver lining there, I guess.
00:05:58Does he know about it?
00:06:00I haven't told him yet.
00:06:03I'll be honest with you, I'm actually really scared to tell him, but...
00:06:07Why?
00:06:08I don't know.
00:06:10I just, I don't think he's going to be very accepting, but...
00:06:14I really hope that he's happy and is as excited as I am,
00:06:18because I just...
00:06:20You know, I really can't wait to meet her.
00:06:23Well, that's sweet.
00:06:24And, yeah, I'm sure he'll come around.
00:06:28He probably just needs time.
00:06:30Yeah, no, I know.
00:06:33You know what?
00:06:34I love how positive you are.
00:06:36You're beautiful, Alex.
00:06:38Well, thank you.
00:06:39You're not so bad yourself.
00:06:42Yeah, I really needed your company today.
00:06:45This has been lovely.
00:06:46I know we just met, but...
00:06:49Something tells me we would make really good friends.
00:06:53I think so, too.
00:06:54So, um...
00:06:55I don't know if you're supposed to cheers coffee, but...
00:06:57Do it.
00:06:58Who cares?
00:06:59Cheers to that.
00:07:00So, I mean, you like books.
00:07:05Yeah, I love books.
00:07:07Yeah?
00:07:07Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved to read and, you know, escape to this other
00:07:11place other than the real world.
00:07:13After you.
00:07:17Ah, such a gentleman.
00:07:20Wow.
00:07:21This place is beautiful.
00:07:23How did you find it?
00:07:24This place opened up about, like, two years ago.
00:07:27And I was the first customer.
00:07:29I mean, I've been recommending it to people ever since.
00:07:31I can see.
00:07:32Everyone knows you.
00:07:34Yeah.
00:07:34Well, I don't know.
00:07:36Books make me feel at home.
00:07:40And, like I said, I've been recommending it to everyone.
00:07:42I mean, they probably came in because of me.
00:07:45Probably.
00:07:45Yeah.
00:07:46No, I know what you mean.
00:07:49I...
00:07:49I love the smell of books and the texture.
00:07:53No, I just, I wish that Mitch loved books like I do.
00:08:02Come on, just wait until you see how beautiful the old editions are, okay?
00:08:07Yeah.
00:08:08Any rereads you wanted to pick up?
00:08:09I'll challenge you to one.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:13I've had Chekhov on my mind lately.
00:08:16Excellent choice, my lady.
00:08:19I'll be right there.
00:08:20Just, oh, there you go.
00:08:22Take a look at that.
00:08:26I bet you're going to have so much to talk about when we next see you.
00:08:31Alex, I'm sorry to bring it up again, but...
00:08:36You know, I really wish that Mitch would do this type of thing with me.
00:08:42You know, he never takes me anywhere.
00:08:44He's so adamant on our relationship being a secret.
00:08:47Well, I mean, he should at least take you to low-profile places like this.
00:08:54Have you ever asked him to?
00:08:56Like a million times.
00:08:58Never listened.
00:09:00I mean, I think most of our time together is, you know, more passionate, rushed.
00:09:06Sounds fun.
00:09:11Sorry, Alex.
00:09:12I have to take this, okay?
00:09:13Never.
00:09:13Never.
00:09:13Not yet.
00:09:14Not yet.
00:09:18Mitch.
00:09:18Hey.
00:09:21No, no.
00:09:22No, I meant to tell you in person.
00:09:35No, I meant to tell you in person, I just, I got really excited and you were busy on
00:09:43set and...
00:09:44Wait, what do you mean?
00:09:51Mitch, go on.
00:09:54Mitch, I love you.
00:09:56I'm so excited, why don't you come down at a really, really nice bookstore and it'll
00:10:07be really lovely for us to speak in person.
00:10:13Bitch, I have loved you, I have stuck by you, I have been there for you.
00:10:19Why don't you say these things?
00:10:26Come on, Mitch, come on, please.
00:10:28I, I know, I am not going to get rid of the baby.
00:10:32No.
00:10:34I have, I have loved you, do you remember the first time that we met?
00:10:41Why are you serious?
00:10:51No, no, no.
00:10:52Mitch, you just need to come and see me in person, please.
00:10:56We can have a child, okay?
00:10:57We can work things out.
00:10:58It's, it's not going to ruin your reputation.
00:11:01This baby, this baby's going to be beautiful and it's going to be our baby.
00:11:10It's going to be our baby, Mitch, come on.
00:11:14No, no, no.
00:11:17Mitch, don't, don't say that.
00:11:18Don't cut me off.
00:11:21Don't, don't cut me off.
00:11:24Mitch!
00:11:24Mitch!
00:11:26Mitch!
00:11:27No, please, please, please, please, please.
00:11:30Can we just have...
00:11:31Hey, Claire, are you just coming in?
00:11:41Oh, jeez.
00:11:43Hey.
00:11:43Hey, are you okay?
00:11:45Come here.
00:11:46Just calm down, all right?
00:11:54Just, just take a moment, yeah?
00:11:56Just breathe, okay?
00:11:58Yeah, then?
00:12:00Okay.
00:12:02Claire, what happened?
00:12:05I don't believe it, Alex.
00:12:08What?
00:12:08Hey, he just...
00:12:11I've been with this man for years.
00:12:14I've stuck by him.
00:12:16I've loved him.
00:12:18I've been with him through everything.
00:12:21And he just...
00:12:24He just...
00:12:25What did he say?
00:12:39Claire, what did he say?
00:12:43He said that...
00:12:44He wants to abort the baby.
00:12:47He wants me to get rid of it.
00:12:50And...
00:12:50It's...
00:12:51It's me.
00:12:53Or my baby.
00:12:55Jesus.
00:12:56And that's me.
00:12:58Well, no, I'm sure he's just shocked.
00:13:01Okay?
00:13:01It's a big thing.
00:13:03I mean, he'll come around.
00:13:05I am so Alex, because...
00:13:06I don't know what to do.
00:13:13Like, I...
00:13:14I...
00:13:14I'm a single mum.
00:13:16I don't have any...
00:13:18I barely have any acting work.
00:13:20I don't...
00:13:20I don't know how I'm going to do this.
00:13:22You'll figure it out.
00:13:24Yeah?
00:13:24You'll figure it out.
00:13:25Everything's going to be okay.
00:13:27It's going to be fine.
00:13:29I'm so...
00:13:30You know, I...
00:13:31I don't want to raise this baby, you know,
00:13:34without a father, with...
00:13:37You know, I want him to be a part of this baby's life, Alex.
00:13:40I want this child to grow up with both of us.
00:13:44You can't force him to have a baby with you, okay?
00:13:48You're going to have to give him time to accept this crazy situation.
00:13:54Yeah?
00:13:55I know.
00:13:55But I just thought that we'd have a future together.
00:13:59I know.
00:14:00I love him, Alex.
00:14:02Like, I love him.
00:14:04I really...
00:14:06I thought that, you know, he would pick me over his job.
00:14:12Apparently not.
00:14:14Well, nothing is stopping you from raising this baby on your own, okay?
00:14:20And you know what?
00:14:21It sounds to me like you've made up your mind about who you want to have.
00:14:25Yeah?
00:14:27Nothing is welcome to you.
00:14:30Exactly.
00:14:30You've got the fundamental thing figured out.
00:14:33Everything else...
00:14:34I'm scared.
00:14:37I'm really scared.
00:14:39You know, I thought we'd have this future together and, you know, he would...
00:14:56He said that apparently it would ruin his reputation.
00:15:00That having a baby, that he's not ready to have kids yet.
00:15:05Did he ever give you a reason for why he's saying all of this?
00:15:10Because he's a big movie director and it's going to ruin everything for him.
00:15:13He can't have kids and they're too much of a hustle.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:18Well...
00:15:18He said that about our baby.
00:15:19Yep.
00:15:22Hey.
00:15:23Hey, just...
00:15:25Stay here.
00:15:26I'll be back.
00:15:27Just...
00:15:28Hey.
00:15:29Give me a moment.
00:15:30Okay?
00:15:31Yeah?
00:15:31You're okay?
00:15:32You're such a good friend.
00:15:34Just...
00:15:35I'll be back.
00:15:36Just give me a minute.
00:15:37Yeah?
00:15:37Sure.
00:15:37Sure.
00:15:38Sure.
00:15:38Sure.
00:15:38Sure.
00:15:39Sure.
00:15:39Sure.
00:15:39Sure.
00:15:40Sure.
00:15:40Sure.
00:15:41Sure.
00:15:42Sure.
00:15:43Sure.
00:15:44Sure.
00:15:45Sure.
00:15:46Sure.
00:15:47Sure.
00:15:48Sure.
00:15:49Sure.
00:15:49There's this really amazing bakery just around the corner.
00:15:55I was planning to take you there after this, but I guess I had to bring the bakery to you.
00:16:03I really needed this to do.
00:16:05I'm really sorry, Alex.
00:16:07I know this was supposed to be a happy-arty thing.
00:16:10Don't worry about it.
00:16:11It's life.
00:16:13These things happen to the best of us.
00:16:16You're very kind.
00:16:17You know, this was supposed to be a fun little hour.
00:16:26No, it was.
00:16:28Alex, I have had so much fun with you today.
00:16:32No, I have felt so much joy until this went down.
00:16:37No, I really haven't felt that much joy in a long time.
00:16:40Come on, I'm sure you're used to Mitch giving you all these amazing things.
00:16:45I know, but I enjoy my time with Mitch and he does a lot for me, but I enjoy the simple
00:16:53things in life too.
00:16:54You know, and Mitch doesn't really understand that.
00:16:58You know what, my birthday is actually soon and I would love if you would do my birthday
00:17:10tradition with me.
00:17:12A special birthday tradition, eh?
00:17:15Oh, sounds intriguing.
00:17:17Will you come?
00:17:19I might have to.
00:17:20You're my best.
00:17:27Come in.
00:17:31Happy birthday, Clay.
00:17:32Aw, thank you.
00:17:35I'm so glad you came.
00:17:36Of course I came.
00:17:37You're going to miss it for the world.
00:17:38It's your special day.
00:17:40Well, you know, we haven't known each other that long, so I wasn't sure.
00:17:45Look, I don't think that matters, all right?
00:17:47Some people you just click with.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:54Wow.
00:17:55This is a really nice place.
00:17:59Mitch pays for it.
00:18:01He practically pays for everything, so...
00:18:05You know, he told me that I have to keep on the down low about the pregnancy.
00:18:11I can't breathe a word to anyone and to watch out for the press, so I'm kind of stuck here.
00:18:17I'm sorry.
00:18:21We shouldn't talk about...
00:18:23You know what?
00:18:25Let's just celebrate your birthday, and you can treat me to the special tradition that you have planned.
00:18:31Oh, yes.
00:18:33I'm going to blow your mind.
00:18:34Oh, okay.
00:18:35I'm excited.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:36So, this is an old family recipe, and it has a special...
00:18:43Ingredient?
00:18:45Mm-hmm.
00:18:46Okay, and what would that be?
00:18:50Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:18:52I don't know.
00:18:54I don't know.
00:18:57Like, usually, I bake this cake every year, and Mitch and I usually celebrate my birthday together.
00:19:03I'm so...
00:19:04Well...
00:19:05I just...
00:19:06I wish that he would, you know, text or call or something.
00:19:09You know, it's my birthday.
00:19:11Well, that's his loss, all right?
00:19:14Because this looks amazing.
00:19:22Claire, look, I know you said no gifts, but I couldn't resist.
00:19:27No, you shouldn't have.
00:19:29I know, I know, I know, but I wanted to, okay?
00:19:33It's your special day, and I wanted to give you something, especially with, you know, everything that's going on and done.
00:19:40I just felt like I needed to cheer you up.
00:19:44Thanks.
00:19:45Wow, I wasn't expecting this.
00:19:51It's not much, but, um...
00:19:54It's beautiful.
00:19:57I love it.
00:20:01Oh, you were the best.
00:20:04Oh, okay.
00:20:06I was really hoping you'd like it.
00:20:08Alex, you know what?
00:20:09You have been such an amazing friend.
00:20:12You know, I only met you a little while ago, and you have been there for me.
00:20:15You're going through all of this, and the present, and you're just a beautiful friend.
00:20:21The thing is, I can't even confide in my family, so, you know, I'm glad I've got you.
00:20:29Like, not even your mum?
00:20:30Nothing?
00:20:31No, I'm not allowed to breathe the word of this to anyone.
00:20:35You know, Mitch says that it will ruin his reputation.
00:20:39It'll ruin our careers.
00:20:40So, I don't know.
00:20:42Like, do you think that's true, Alex?
00:20:44I mean, yes, yes, the press sometimes leak things and expose truths that people don't
00:20:54like, but, you know, I think that people shouldn't keep secrets like that and fear them getting
00:21:00exposed.
00:21:02I don't know who that.
00:21:02You know, Mitch, he practically, as I said, he pays for everything.
00:21:08You know, he's got my house, my car, my clothes, my food, and the only thing that he asks is
00:21:15I keep quiet.
00:21:16So, what do I do with that?
00:21:18I'm indebted to him, Alex.
00:21:20He's been really kind to me.
00:21:22Okay, so, what, he pays your bills and expects you to stay silent?
00:21:26Yeah, Alex, that's all he asks of me.
00:21:31You know, I'm completely dependent on him.
00:21:33I don't have a stable job, and he's been really kind to me.
00:21:38Okay, well, have you thought about getting a stable job?
00:21:41Yeah, I've gone for a thousand auditions.
00:21:44You know, no one will give me a chance.
00:21:46You know, I don't want to do a role that, you know, I want a role that, you know, impresses
00:21:52people and means something, you know?
00:21:54So, not showing my body.
00:21:57Yeah, well, that's what you deserve, all right?
00:21:58Because you're an amazing actor.
00:22:02Can I tell you something that happened the other day?
00:22:05It was really strange.
00:22:07Yeah, yes, you can tell me anything.
00:22:09Yeah, so, I went for an audition for a role I really wanted, and I booked it.
00:22:14I was so happy.
00:22:15Yeah, I did, I did.
00:22:17But then something really weird happened.
00:22:21What happened?
00:22:21I, I, I got dropped.
00:22:26And to this day, like, I still don't understand what happened.
00:22:30You know, I, I got the news right after I got the phone to Mitch.
00:22:35Wait, so you're saying that they dropped you after you told Mitch?
00:22:39Yeah, and I wanted him to be proud of me, you know?
00:22:41I was going to show him that I was going to make my place in the industry.
00:22:45You know, and I even organised a meeting with the director.
00:22:49Yeah, and what did he say?
00:22:50Not much.
00:22:52You know, he, he didn't give me anything.
00:22:54And I said, look, I will re-audition.
00:22:55And he, he saw me on the phone to Mitch, and then he just walked away and said, why don't
00:23:00you go do Mitch's projects instead of other people's?
00:23:02Okay, well, do you think that maybe Mitch had something to do with it?
00:23:09No, Mitch would never do that to me.
00:23:11He believes in me, Alex.
00:23:13He says I have great potential, and I'm going to be a great actor one day, so, no.
00:23:16Okay, okay, well, then why doesn't he put you in one of his projects?
00:23:20Because he says that, you know, the roles aren't right for me, and that I need to go and work
00:23:24in other people's projects, so I don't get it.
00:23:27What do I do?
00:23:27Who is that?
00:23:36It's Mitch.
00:23:38See, I knew you wouldn't forget.
00:23:40Hey, baby.
00:23:41How are you?
00:23:43See, I knew you wouldn't forget my birthday.
00:23:45Oh, my special cake.
00:23:49Mitch, I thought you were ringing up to wish me happy birthday.
00:23:51No, I'm not.
00:23:58Mitch, no.
00:24:00I have kept this relationship for a secret for years.
00:24:04Okay?
00:24:05You have no right to ask me to do something like that.
00:24:10No.
00:24:11Mitch, no.
00:24:13Okay?
00:24:14End of discussion.
00:24:15I won't.
00:24:16Okay?
00:24:17I can't.
00:24:18Just leave it, okay?
00:24:20Just leave it.
00:24:21He doesn't deserve to be here, Claire.
00:24:23It's going to be okay, all right?
00:24:25Don't let him ruin your birthday.
00:24:27I just don't get it.
00:24:29Alex, he...
00:24:31We were in love, and he's changed so much.
00:24:36You know, I even said that I'd leave the industry for him.
00:24:39I'd give up my dream, and I thought that one day he might marry me.
00:24:43I just don't get it.
00:24:46And you know what?
00:24:49I know what I'm having.
00:24:54Alex, I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:25:00Why can't he just want that baby?
00:25:07Claire, I...
00:25:09You are going to be the most amazing mother, okay?
00:25:17The mother of a beautiful little girl.
00:25:26Do you know what, Alex?
00:25:31I've got a name for her.
00:25:32What is it?
00:25:35I'm going to call her Clara.
00:25:37Do you like it?
00:25:39I love it.
00:25:49Alex?
00:25:50Alex.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:51How's the screenplay coming along?
00:25:55Yeah, not great.
00:25:56Um, uh...
00:25:57Dude, I'm stuck right now.
00:25:59I really thought that this was going to be the one, but...
00:26:02It's just rejection after rejection after rejection.
00:26:06Could you hear back from Liberty Studios?
00:26:09Dude, the screenplay is always a banger.
00:26:11Yeah.
00:26:12Well, according to them, it's, uh, pretentious, controversial, and not sexy enough.
00:26:18Right.
00:26:19Well, I hope your luck turns around soon.
00:26:23It's a tough industry.
00:26:27So, uh, you been on any of Mitch's sets recently?
00:26:31Oh, yeah.
00:26:32No, he's shooting one down at the studio at the moment.
00:26:34Cast Roxanne Amber as the leading lead.
00:26:36You're kidding.
00:26:37No, not at all.
00:26:39Rumor has it that Mitch and her are secretly dating one of his couple of months.
00:26:44What do you mean?
00:26:45I mean, they've been dating while on the set for the last couple of months.
00:26:50And they're saying that he's going to propose soon.
00:26:55No, there's no way.
00:26:56That would affect the shoot, sure.
00:26:58You think Mitch cares?
00:27:00It's Mitch.
00:27:01Oh, my God.
00:27:02That guy is such a leech.
00:27:05Hey, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
00:27:08Mitch goes through women like he goes through cigars.
00:27:11Right?
00:27:12They won't last long.
00:27:15All right.
00:27:18Well, um, I guess I'll be going there.
00:27:22The missus and my dog are probably waiting for me back at home.
00:27:26So, except you're not married, so.
00:27:30Well, I am in my mind.
00:27:32But that's adorable.
00:27:34Hey, is there anyone you think of that way?
00:27:39There's a certain someone on my mind from time to time.
00:27:42Well, good luck, buddy.
00:27:53I really wasn't in the mood for this today, Mitch.
00:27:56I really just want to stay in bed.
00:27:58Look, I know, but...
00:28:00You need some sun and some fresh air, okay?
00:28:03It'll be good for the baby.
00:28:04You can't just stay cooped up inside all day.
00:28:07You want her to be healthy, right?
00:28:10I know.
00:28:11Exactly.
00:28:12You're always right.
00:28:13Yeah.
00:28:14And, look, now that you're here, why don't you look around?
00:28:17Pick out some books.
00:28:19Reading is very relaxing.
00:28:20It'll be good for you.
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:24You're right.
00:28:26All right.
00:28:27Did you want anything?
00:28:28Do you want me to recommend you something good?
00:28:30Oh, I think I was feeling Oscar Wilde today.
00:28:35Spectacular.
00:28:36Excellent choice.
00:28:38The importance of being honest will be your next read, and I'm buying it for you.
00:28:45Sorry.
00:28:53Clear, wait.
00:28:55So, I'm pregnant with his child.
00:28:59And he has the audacity.
00:29:05Claire, just...
00:29:06Just...
00:29:07All right, just let it go, and...
00:29:09We'll look at some books, and we'll go to the bakery afterwards.
00:29:12Do you know about this?
00:29:14Were you hiding this from me, Alex?
00:29:16Is that why you took me here today?
00:29:18Yeah.
00:29:18Claire, look, just...
00:29:20Just let them be, all right?
00:29:21Just focus on yourself, please.
00:29:23You know what?
00:29:23I trusted you.
00:29:25Claire, Claire, just let them go.
00:29:27Just wait.
00:29:28Claire, wait!
00:29:29Mitch!
00:29:33Mitch!
00:29:34I need to speak to you right now.
00:29:36Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:29:37Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're going to keep that baby.
00:29:39Then what is this, huh?
00:29:41Tell me that this is a lie.
00:29:43Oh, for fuck's sake, Claire.
00:29:45You know what the press are like.
00:29:46They don't care if something's true.
00:29:47They'll fucking print anything as long as idiots will read it.
00:29:49Well, I swear, if that's true, I'll go to the press and I'll tell them everything.
00:29:54Watch.
00:30:00Now, listen, sweetheart.
00:30:02You know that I wouldn't do that, right?
00:30:04Yeah.
00:30:06So why did you give me the cold shoulder, then?
00:30:08Why did you not want our own baby, Mitch?
00:30:11Is it because of her?
00:30:13Or is it this public relationship talk?
00:30:16It's all fucking bullshit, isn't it?
00:30:18I don't even know her that well.
00:30:20She's the lead actress in my new movie.
00:30:22That is it.
00:30:24Claire, you are the woman I want to marry.
00:30:27You are the one I love.
00:30:31Do you actually mean that, though?
00:30:35Of course.
00:30:37And I'm sorry that it's taking me so long to realize it, but...
00:30:41I know what I want now.
00:30:45Eh?
00:30:45Sweetheart, listen.
00:30:51What you read is all lies, I swear.
00:30:56And why did you push me away?
00:30:59Mitch, you just cut me off.
00:31:01You just...
00:31:02You just left.
00:31:03I'm sorry for what I said and I'm sorry for what I did.
00:31:07I guess I just wasn't ready to accept things at that stage.
00:31:11I was very stressed with work.
00:31:15Now, you know that I've been really busy with my movie, yeah?
00:31:23That's all it is.
00:31:25I had issues with locations and budgets and cast and...
00:31:30It's not an excuse, but...
00:31:33What's this about going to the press, eh?
00:31:35I mean, come on.
00:31:37We're just stooping to their level.
00:31:39And if I know one thing, it's that you're better than that.
00:31:42I just...
00:31:44Mitch, I just...
00:31:44I couldn't stomach the thought of you going out with another woman, you marrying another
00:31:50woman, and then I'm pregnant with our baby girl.
00:31:54I just couldn't.
00:31:56Of course.
00:31:58Look.
00:31:59How about I make up for lost time, yeah?
00:32:02I want us to be a family, Claire.
00:32:03Do you actually mean that, Mitch?
00:32:08Do you want this?
00:32:09More than anything.
00:32:11I've missed you so much these past few months.
00:32:14And I'm so sorry for everything.
00:32:21I missed it.
00:32:24I really thought I'd lost you, though.
00:32:28Never.
00:32:28You could never lose me.
00:32:32Not even if you tried.
00:32:34Now, why don't I take you out on Friday night and make up for it?
00:32:38Or at least start to make up for it.
00:32:39Somewhere special, yeah?
00:32:41Where are we going?
00:32:42Oh, that's a surprise.
00:32:44It'll be just the two of us.
00:32:46Like the good old days.
00:32:50Yeah, I was so angry, Alex, you know?
00:32:53Like, I marched into his house and I confronted him.
00:32:56Do you know what I even threatened him?
00:32:59Really?
00:32:59Yeah.
00:33:00I told him that I would tell the tabloid about everything.
00:33:03You said that to him.
00:33:04You said that to Mitch.
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:05I don't know what came over me.
00:33:06Like, I was so mad.
00:33:08I even got in a magazine and I hit him.
00:33:12Don't do that.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14And then the next minute, he was, you know, telling me that he loved me
00:33:18and he was holding my hand and he said he wants to be a family
00:33:22and it was beautiful.
00:33:24Alex, I think he may have proposed tonight.
00:33:27Okay.
00:33:29Claire, I don't think that he meant that apology, alright?
00:33:32Please just listen to me.
00:33:34People have been talking about him and Roxanne for a long time now
00:33:37and I think that he wants to marry her.
00:33:40I'm sorry.
00:33:42No, I don't...
00:33:43Why would you say something like that to me?
00:33:47Like, Alex, why can't you be happy for me?
00:33:50Like, if Mitch said it's a lie, it's a lie.
00:33:53Okay?
00:33:54So if you can't be happy for me, then you should leave.
00:33:59Claire, please listen, okay?
00:34:01I don't think that you're going to be safe with him.
00:34:03Where is he taking you tonight?
00:34:04That's a surprise.
00:34:05Claire, just please listen, alright?
00:34:07You know that I want what's best for you.
00:34:09I don't want to hear it, Alex.
00:34:11Come on, please.
00:34:12I'm begging you, don't go.
00:34:14Oh.
00:34:17I'm sorry.
00:34:19You look absolutely beautiful, aren't they?
00:34:28Hey?
00:34:29Oh, I've missed you, baby.
00:34:31I've missed you too.
00:34:33You know, I've been thinking a lot about our life together,
00:34:35about the future.
00:34:37Got to make lots of plans.
00:34:39Really?
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:40Mm-hmm.
00:34:41Mm.
00:34:42Mm.
00:34:42And also, I'm going to have my team make a statement.
00:34:48A press release for that.
00:34:49Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:50You don't have to tell anyone else, alright, silly girl?
00:34:53That was so angry.
00:34:55I know.
00:34:56I liked it.
00:34:56You were a little bit scary.
00:34:57You were a bit feisty.
00:34:59Maybe I can see that side tonight when we get home, huh?
00:35:01Mm.
00:35:02Now we're home.
00:35:03Really?
00:35:05Mm-hmm.
00:35:06You want me to come home?
00:35:07The house has been so empty without you.
00:35:10After some night, I've got to make sure you don't go anywhere else.
00:35:14Oh.
00:35:15Oh, I love you, baby.
00:35:17You ready to be surprised?
00:35:18Super.
00:35:19Let's go.
00:35:20We're waiting for it.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:25Well?
00:35:25Wow, this place is, you know, it's big.
00:35:31Um, what do you do here?
00:35:33This is one of my old movie sets.
00:35:36But now I just come here to watch.
00:35:38What do you watch?
00:35:40I watch movies.
00:35:42It's a private cinema.
00:35:44Mm-hmm.
00:35:44It's a top secret one just for us.
00:35:46Mm-hmm.
00:35:47No-one else will be disturbing us.
00:35:50I mean, that's nice, Mitch, but, you know, I thought we were going to go to dinner.
00:35:53Yeah.
00:35:54And, yeah.
00:35:55We will go for dinner afterwards.
00:35:57Hungry girl.
00:35:58Mm-hmm.
00:36:00I know, but it's just...
00:36:02What's wrong?
00:36:04No-one's around, and, you know?
00:36:06Yeah, I don't want anyone else here.
00:36:09I want you all to myself.
00:36:11Yeah, I'm pretty much just...
00:36:13I don't want anyone else to join us.
00:36:15Mitch, why did you bring me here?
00:36:18I thought dinner, and this is just...
00:36:21It's weird.
00:36:22Well, I'm sorry.
00:36:25What are you, five?
00:36:26I mean, who wouldn't want to be on a date here at a private cinema with me in a three-piece suit?
00:36:31Come on.
00:36:32Hey.
00:36:33Hey.
00:36:33Are you a big girl for once, huh?
00:36:35All right.
00:36:36Want to pick a movie?
00:36:37Or do you want to make one?
00:36:37Maybe it would be nice, huh?
00:36:41Well, I've missed your soft skin, huh?
00:36:46Mitch.
00:36:47Mitch.
00:36:48Come on.
00:36:48Come on.
00:36:50Mitch.
00:36:50Don't I can give that before, huh?
00:36:53It's done over.
00:36:54Mitch.
00:36:54Bitch.
00:36:55I'm pregnant.
00:36:56Yeah, come on.
00:36:57Mitch.
00:36:57I'm serious.
00:36:58God damn it.
00:37:06Hey, Alex.
00:37:07Hey.
00:37:09Calm down.
00:37:10What's going on?
00:37:10Hey.
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:12I just have a really bad feeling about something.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Claire and Mitch, that bastard, he pretended to apologize to her, and now he's taking her
00:37:22somewhere tonight.
00:37:23Who?
00:37:24Mitch?
00:37:24Is this the pregnant actress you were talking to me about?
00:37:27She said that they reconciled, and that he said that he loved her, and that, you know,
00:37:32God, that he was going to take the baby, and that he was going to take care of them
00:37:36both and get married.
00:37:37She's too innocent.
00:37:39She doesn't understand these things.
00:37:41Wait.
00:37:41Mitch apologized.
00:37:43Mitch apologized.
00:37:45He's never apologized to anyone in his life.
00:37:49He, she threatened him, all right?
00:37:51She threatened to take the pregnancy to the press, okay?
00:37:55And, oh, God, man, she, ah, Claire threatened him.
00:38:01She threatened Mitch.
00:38:04Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:38:06She's amazing, man.
00:38:07I'm telling you, I mean, her laugh, her smile, she's, gosh, she's so beautiful.
00:38:12How does that moron look to see it?
00:38:15Sounds like you've fallen pretty hard, my friend.
00:38:17Look, I don't care about that right now, okay?
00:38:19I just, all I care about is that she is safe and as far away from that bastard as possible.
00:38:25Where is he taking her?
00:38:28Look, I did overhear Mitch saying that he was going to take some girl to the studio.
00:38:35What, the abandoned building?
00:38:37Yeah, well, it used to be a movie set, then it was a studio.
00:38:40Some people say it's cursed, but Mitch still has the title.
00:38:43I, I, I, I need to get there, quickly.
00:38:46Hey, hey, don't you think you're being a little paranoid?
00:38:48I need to make sure, okay?
00:38:50Okay.
00:38:51Okay, maybe just observe for a distance, all right?
00:38:54So you don't get yourself hurt.
00:38:56Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
00:38:58Thanks, man.
00:38:58Claire?
00:39:11Claire?
00:39:12Claire?
00:39:15Claire?
00:39:15Smile, sweetheart.
00:39:29You know, you wanted it as well.
00:39:31I needed that.
00:39:33Enough to make sure you're rough.
00:39:35You know, I'm pregnant, and...
00:39:38Oh, baby, baby, baby.
00:39:42No one forced you to come here.
00:39:43Don't act so innocent.
00:39:46Probably planned that little fucking brat as well just to try and trap me.
00:39:49What?
00:39:51Mitch, I thought you were...
00:39:53I thought you were happy.
00:39:55Oh, did you?
00:39:57You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:40:02You're more stupid than I thought.
00:40:05I thought that we...
00:40:06I thought, I thought...
00:40:08I thought we...
00:40:09I thought we reconciled.
00:40:11Did you?
00:40:12Yeah?
00:40:12Okay, okay.
00:40:15You think that I ever loved you?
00:40:18You're nothing to me, you hear me?
00:40:19You're worthless.
00:40:20You're shit on my shoe.
00:40:22Huh?
00:40:23I've got something for you.
00:40:24I've got something for you.
00:40:25What?
00:40:26I'm the biggest producer in this country, you hear?
00:40:32Any girl who want to be with me.
00:40:34Well, breathe in him, baby.
00:40:35Be great.
00:40:36Be great.
00:40:36Be great.
00:40:37I'm going to feed you soon.
00:41:02What is this?
00:41:24What?
00:41:32What time is it?
00:41:43How did I get here?
00:41:46Claire? Claire, is she okay? Is Claire here?
00:41:50Sir, please calm down. We'll tell you in a minute. You need to rest.
00:41:53I need to see Claire. Is she okay? Is she here? Is she okay?
00:41:55Your injuries are extremely severe.
00:41:57Hey, how did I get here?
00:41:58Yeah. Somebody alerted the cops that there was smoke coming from the abandoned studio.
00:42:04You and the woman were rescued.
00:42:08Claire's okay. Is she... Is she alright? Is she hurt?
00:42:15Sir, I am deeply sorry to say that the woman didn't make it.
00:42:22No, no, no, no. She... It's not true. I don't believe you. Where is she? I need to see her.
00:42:27Please. I need to see her.
00:42:30Please. She can't be gone. I need to see Claire. She can't be gone. She can't be.
00:42:34Sir, sir, we're sorry to inform you, but she wasn't able to survive the burns.
00:42:39She couldn't be saved.
00:42:40She was in the fire for too long. Her body is disfigured beyond recognition.
00:42:47But we were able to save the baby.
00:42:50The baby, Claire. Claire, she's alive.
00:42:52The baby is still premature and is in the incubation room, but she is breathing, and she is alive.
00:42:58Oh, God.
00:43:00Oh, she's alive.
00:43:04Oh, God.
00:43:07Can I see her? Can I see the baby?
00:43:09Sir, we will bring her here where she can breathe on her own.
00:43:12You need to rest for now.
00:43:22Claire.
00:43:23Claire.
00:43:23Nice to meet you.
00:43:24Claire.
00:43:25Happy birthday, Claire.
00:43:26Stop.
00:43:27Don't do that.
00:43:28Claire.
00:43:29Please.
00:43:29Please, I'm begging you, don't go.
00:43:31I think we'd be really good friends.
00:43:34Claire.
00:43:34Claire.
00:43:43Are you, Alex?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:48You must be Claire's mom.
00:43:52It's nice to meet you.
00:43:56I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.
00:44:00Claire always spoke so highly of you.
00:44:05What happened to my daughter?
00:44:07How did this happen?
00:44:10It was an accident.
00:44:13I couldn't say to her.
00:44:16I'm so sorry.
00:44:18You told me she was pregnant and the baby survived.
00:44:21I didn't know what was going on in Claire's life.
00:44:24She wouldn't tell me anything.
00:44:27Who's the father?
00:44:28And where is he?
00:44:30I don't know.
00:44:32When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:44:36She never talked about him.
00:44:38I never asked.
00:44:39How did she keep such a big secret from me?
00:44:42My poor Claire.
00:44:44Father's nowhere to be seen.
00:44:47I'm afraid he's nowhere to be seen, even when she was alive.
00:44:52And I don't think he's going to be turning up anytime soon.
00:44:55I am terrible.
00:44:58My poor daughter and her poor child.
00:45:01Oh, she's beautiful.
00:45:06She looks just like my daughter when she was baby.
00:45:15How precious.
00:45:17Oh, if only her mother were here.
00:45:21Claire wanted to name her Clara.
00:45:22Baby, you're going to be okay.
00:45:37What kills me that she'll grow up an orphan?
00:45:43Oh, I hope her father changes his mind and shows up.
00:45:47Now that Claire's gone, he's needed more than ever.
00:45:52If he changes his mind and shows up, please let me know.
00:46:06I'll come and visit the two of you from time to time.
00:46:09That's all right.
00:46:10I'll check and make sure that everything's okay.
00:46:14See if Claire needs anything.
00:46:16For Claire's sake.
00:46:22You're too kind.
00:46:24I'm so glad Claire had someone like you in her life.
00:46:36I'm sorry.
00:46:37I'm sorry.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:45All right.
00:46:53Time to celebrate.
00:46:55Happy birthday, Clara.
00:46:58I've been so lucky for what's today.
00:47:00Well, it's a very important birthday for you.
00:47:02Please blow it, Ken.
00:47:07How's it important?
00:47:08Well, first of all, you have had such an amazing year.
00:47:12I mean, the roles that you have landed and everything that you have accomplished and at such a young age.
00:47:17I'm so, so proud of you.
00:47:20Girl, you heard them too bad yourself.
00:47:23Well, practically, them both sought after swimming, right?
00:47:25I will once in a while then, do you?
00:47:27It's still to have so much money.
00:47:28Well, come on.
00:47:29I mean, you're the one who is so successful and who knows what it means to be talented, all right?
00:47:35I'm just an humble guy until just recently.
00:47:37Well, I couldn't have done any of this without you.
00:47:40Well, no, no.
00:47:41You're the one with the talent and you have such a good head on your shoulders.
00:47:46I mean, most actors don't, especially at a young age.
00:47:50So many of them get out of this unpleasant serum status.
00:47:54How about that?
00:47:55Thankfully, I've gotten this far unscathed.
00:47:58Listen.
00:47:59Clara, I think it's time that you knew something.
00:48:04Go on.
00:48:04I think that it's time that you knew the truth about your parents.
00:48:13My parents?
00:48:14What about my parents?
00:48:15Has my father come around?
00:48:16No, no.
00:48:17The passing of your mother and the absence of your father occurred under very complex circumstances.
00:48:28I think I've asked Anna like a billion and two times about what?
00:48:32She always would have been saying the exact story.
00:48:35Mom was an actress.
00:48:37She would be away to find more gigs and there's just less and less communication until, bam,
00:48:43I've showed up one day, dead.
00:48:46Serious and I was just left with no dad.
00:48:50Well, just get ready because it is a lot to take in.
00:48:54Okay, so, I met your mother 20 years ago.
00:48:59She had just found out that she was pregnant with you.
00:49:05Did you guys work together?
00:49:06No, no, no, no.
00:49:07I mean, I was a nobody back then.
00:49:09We both were.
00:49:10She, we had a lot in common and she was very distressed and lonely at the time.
00:49:18She just happened to meet me at a very dark time in her life.
00:49:22What about my father?
00:49:24Your father is a famous and powerful producer.
00:49:29He's a producer?
00:49:30Does he know that his daughter is an actress?
00:49:31Yes, I believe he thinks his child died with Claire.
00:49:37So, can you tell him that I'm alive, I'm well?
00:49:40No, I can't.
00:49:41Not like this, at least.
00:49:43Look, your father did not want Claire to have you, all right?
00:49:47He insisted that she had an abortion.
00:49:53So, they didn't want me?
00:49:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:57Your mother wanted you more than anything, all right?
00:49:59She was ready to stand against the whole world to have you.
00:50:02She chose you over your father, a man that she depended on for almost everything.
00:50:09But, why did she have to die?
00:50:13I'll get to that, all right?
00:50:15Just let me finish.
00:50:19How did she die?
00:50:21I'll get to that, just let her finish.
00:50:24Okay, sorry.
00:50:25All right, so, your father had flings with a lot of actresses, and he was never committed
00:50:32to any of them.
00:50:33Your mother trusted him blindly, and, you know, she thought that he was committed to it.
00:50:39And the only thing your father was committed to is his career, his public image.
00:50:44I see.
00:50:45So, he tried to convince your mother to get rid of the baby.
00:50:48He told her that he wasn't going to have her, he didn't want the press to find out about it.
00:50:53He said he couldn't have a baby unless he was married, and he didn't want to marry your mother, either.
00:50:58And why not?
00:50:59Because he wanted to marry a more successful actress instead, for his public image.
00:51:05Who is she?
00:51:06Do I know her?
00:51:08We'll get to that, okay?
00:51:09So, he kept faking your mother, he kept trying to get her to get an abortion.
00:51:14And as much as the idea of you growing up without a father, and with little money, her and your mother,
00:51:19she was convinced to try and change your father's mind.
00:51:22She was determined to have you.
00:51:26So, one day, I took her to this old vintage bookstore in Dumb,
00:51:32and she saw pictures of your father and another actress on a tabloid sprawled over the front page.
00:51:39It said that they were allegedly in a relationship and that they were planning on getting married.
00:51:44Oh my God.
00:51:45Your mother, she was one of the most kindest and nicest people that I'd ever met.
00:51:53But I had never seen her so furious.
00:51:55She was so angry that she went to your father and threatened him to leave her to the press.
00:52:01But what did he have to say for himself?
00:52:03He got scared, and he started lying, convincing her that the press was making it all up,
00:52:08and that he changed his mind about the baby, saying that he was going to take care of the both of you.
00:52:16I warned you, mother.
00:52:18I tried my best, saying that he could not be trusted,
00:52:21but your mother was so happy she didn't listen to my warnings.
00:52:27The next thing I knew, your father had taken her to a studio and strangled her in a car.
00:52:36I was with a friend at the time, and I was ranting on about how Claire was going out with Mitch,
00:52:41and I knew something was going to happen.
00:52:44And then he told me that Mitch was taking a woman to a abandoned studio.
00:52:48But I rushed there, I rushed there as quickly as I could, but I was too late.
00:52:54What happened next? How did we even get out of there?
00:52:57I got to the studio, and I saw Mitch had a towel that ran to her mother's mouth that I tried to rescue.
00:53:04I ran there as fast as I could, but these men were still there, and they beat me until I passed out.
00:53:09Alex, how did, how did we get out of there alive?
00:53:16People heard screaming, they called the cops, and that's how you and I got to the hospital.
00:53:22Laura, your mother wasn't so lucky.
00:53:27I just can't believe my father did something like that.
00:53:35Alex, who is this monster?
00:53:39Once we were at the hospital, I called your grandmother and we made arrangements for how you were going to be raised.
00:53:46She asked me what happened, but I couldn't tell her.
00:53:51I gave her enough to give her clothes.
00:53:54No, Alex, we did the right thing.
00:53:57Nana could not have known about any of this. It would have been too much further.
00:54:02And I had Ray Charlesburg, and we had you, so thank you for being a coward, Ray and Sunshine.
00:54:13Please, who is my father?
00:54:19The producer, Mitch, Mitch Sterling, is your father.
00:54:34What?
00:54:36Yuck.
00:54:38Yuck, he is such a creep!
00:54:41He was a creep back then too. A heartless one.
00:54:45You know, he's got a wife and kids, and I know for a fact that he gets around.
00:54:49He gets with barely legal stylists.
00:54:53Poor Roxanne.
00:54:55Well, it's the one.
00:54:57You know, he's been begging me to be in his new project.
00:55:02And I keep turning him down because something about him makes me so uncomfortable.
00:55:06You're a lot wiser than your mother was, but she was just too innocent for this industry.
00:55:15I guess that's how a guy like Mitch was able to dig his closet at her.
00:55:19But doesn't he suspect for a second that I could be his daughter that survived?
00:55:24Well, I don't think Mitch has been with too many women at this point, and I think he's just forgotten about Clint.
00:55:30What a pig!
00:55:34I can't believe he's gotten away with this for this long.
00:55:38Well, he has a lot of influence, and creating a scandal around your birth and everything, it would have ruined your childhood.
00:55:47And I couldn't do that to you.
00:55:50So I kept everything secret.
00:55:53It's not right, Alex. None of this is right.
00:56:01There must be some way that we can get back at him for all that he's done.
00:56:06We need a plan.
00:56:13Let's give him that scandal that he's been running from for the past 20 years.
00:56:18All can run him in public.
00:56:22I'll make a whole scene, and I don't think it'll affect my career that much, but hopefully his will be ruined.
00:56:29Well, I have been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years.
00:56:39And I have the perfect plan.
00:56:41I've been writing this screenplay, and I've been writing it for years.
00:56:47Yeah?
00:56:48Go on.
00:56:49When your mother passed, I knew that I wanted to tell this story, so I started writing a screenplay about it.
00:56:55So, you're gonna make a movie?
00:56:57Yes.
00:56:58Yes, a movie that accurately portrays what happened.
00:57:01And, if Mitch sees it, he will be riddled with guilt.
00:57:06Is he gonna go for it?
00:57:08All right.
00:57:11The plan is, I wanted to cast you as your mother, all right?
00:57:16I mean, you guys are so alike, and I think it would be the perfect touch to get on his nerves.
00:57:21The plan is, we torture him psychologically, you know, until he goes insane.
00:57:26The plan is to then change the names, except for the main two ones, Claire and Mitch.
00:57:32I think that could actually work.
00:57:34Yeah.
00:57:35I'm in.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:37Well, you need to be sure about this, right?
00:57:41You need to make sure that you are ready.
00:57:43Because we've got a lot of work to do, so we gotta get started now.
00:57:46I'm ready to get started.
00:57:48Okay.
00:57:49We are going to ruin him.
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:52I just need you to calm down and make sure that you are prepared for it.
00:57:57Okay?
00:57:58You need to make sure that you are ready for this project.
00:58:01Because if not, if this goes south, there could be consequences.
00:58:06I know.
00:58:07I know.
00:58:08I know.
00:58:09And I promise I will carefully consider it.
00:58:13These are some of your mother's things.
00:58:16I saved them for you after she passed.
00:58:21And this is her diary that she kept when she was in a relationship with Mitch.
00:58:28I want you to have it.
00:58:29It will help you prepare for the role.
00:58:36Well, congratulations.
00:58:41Our movie was a box office pick.
00:58:44And guess what?
00:58:45That's not even the best part.
00:58:47Ah, I see you're still thinking about Mitch's reaction at the back screen.
00:58:50I mean, how could I not?
00:58:52Did you see his face?
00:58:54God, he must be going insane.
00:58:56I mean, the movie is everywhere.
00:58:58Right?
00:58:59Oh, I still can't see what my mom saw in Mitch.
00:59:03He is so arrogant.
00:59:05You know, he was begging me to be in his new production and still found time to brag about himself.
00:59:10Well, you know, people make mistakes when they're as sincere as your mother.
00:59:15And I mean, come on.
00:59:16That's just classic merch, right?
00:59:18I mean, he's literally cheating on the woman that he ended up marrying.
00:59:21God, I mean, he's such a worthless, pathetic worm.
00:59:26I just...
00:59:27I can't even stand running into him at events.
00:59:29It makes me want to vomit thinking about what he did to my mother.
00:59:32I can't believe that man is my biological father.
00:59:35Look, he is not your father, alright?
00:59:38A parent is someone who watches over you as you grow up.
00:59:41And he never even tried.
00:59:43Okay?
00:59:44You know, I often wonder, like, even if he hated your mother so much that he ended up murdering her, I mean, how could he be so heartless about his own child?
00:59:54You've been more of a father to me than Mitch ever could be.
00:59:58You were the one that looked over me while I was growing up an orphan.
01:00:01You know, I...
01:00:03I just did the right thing, you know?
01:00:05Like, I feel so terrible about how you were treated and what happened to you.
01:00:11It's...
01:00:12For you, I want the life that your mother dreamed of, alright?
01:00:16And...
01:00:17I...
01:00:18She was...
01:00:19She was fragile, but...
01:00:21God, I'm just in awe of her strength.
01:00:26I wish that it was you, instead of Mitch, that my mum fell in love with.
01:00:31I wish that I were your daughter.
01:00:33Hey, you are like a daughter to me, and don't you forget it.
01:00:37I...
01:00:38I mean, I wish you and mum had me.
01:00:41I can't help but think how different all three of our lives would be if that were the case.
01:00:45Especially mum's.
01:00:47Well...
01:00:48If she was still here, I definitely would have said the two of you on.
01:00:54Well, come on.
01:00:57Wait.
01:00:58What?
01:00:59You liked my mum.
01:01:01You, like, like liked her.
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:04No, she was a dear friend.
01:01:06I mean, we had a lot in common, and we were both struggling with our careers at the time.
01:01:11Well, come on.
01:01:13If things had worked out differently, you reckon you guys would have eventually gotten together?
01:01:18Clara, I met your mother when she suspected that she was pregnant with you, alright?
01:01:24She was in a toxic, abusive relationship with Mitch, and that took a toll on her, alright?
01:01:30I mean, she was so lonely that she confided in a stranger.
01:01:35I mean, today, here, that stranger is seeking her justice.
01:01:40If you ask me, I think that's very romantic.
01:01:42Yeah, well, Mitch needs to be brought to justice, alright?
01:01:47And we are going to do that.
01:01:49He's going to pay for everything he did.
01:01:51I mean, God knows what else he's done that we don't know about.
01:01:55Well, anyone who's seen the movie and knows Mitch in real life, surely they've made some connections by now.
01:02:01They've got to be growing suspicious.
01:02:03Yeah, well, we're going to make sure that they do.
01:02:06Our goal is to make it so that he breaks down and then just confesses to everything.
01:02:11I'm going to destroy his beloved career.
01:02:15The career for which he destroyed so many lives and broke so many hearts.
01:02:20And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:30And, you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:37I've been sending him pictures of your mother from different addresses, you know, just messing with his head.
01:02:42I just hope Mitch doesn't sue us.
01:02:45No, he can't, alright?
01:02:46I thought about that before we made the movie.
01:02:48If he tries anything, then I'll just make sure that you and him take the DNA test and it'll just further prove what I'm accusing him of.
01:02:55It's surely only a matter of time before he confronts us.
01:02:58Well, I have a plan for when that eventually happens.
01:03:02I'm just waiting for his last nerve to crack.
01:03:05You know, I've been holding back the urge to beat the shit out of him for the last 20 years.
01:03:12But he's influential, so we have to be clever about how we do this.
01:03:17I, um, I've been enjoying what we're doing, the movie and my role, and it just is really, really hard to think about my mother as much.
01:03:28Well, you know, critics have been praising the way that you've played your part, alright?
01:03:33I mean, you've been nominated for, like, what, so many awards, and I have a feeling that you were going to win Walls.
01:03:45Well, don't sell yourself short. You came from, what, penniless screenwriter and now you're one of the greats? You didn't give yourself enough credit.
01:03:53You know that your mother was a struggling actress. You know, she barely got any work, even though she was so stunning.
01:04:00It just, it makes me so proud to see you just take over this industry.
01:04:06Well, I have been very lucky in these roles, and your influence doesn't hurt.
01:04:11Hey, come on, you know, you have been making waves without me, right? That takes sheer talent.
01:04:16You know, your mother wasn't so fortunate. She couldn't escape the destruction that Mitch unleashed upon her.
01:04:26You know, I was so sure back then, and I still am to this day, that he was sabotaging your mum's career.
01:04:34Just making sure that she was financially and emotionally dependent on her, so that she just couldn't escape.
01:04:41I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
01:04:49If he found out who I really was, he would surely kill me. Look what he did to my mother!
01:04:54No, no, you, you are safe. He can't do shit to you, alright? Your name's just, it's too big at this point.
01:05:00Yeah, but Alex, he's losing his mind. I've been hearing it from people. I even saw him at an event, and he just seemed visibly shaken.
01:05:07Visibly shaken. Yeah, well, he's gonna confront us soon. I'm sure of it.
01:05:12What is it?
01:05:22Oh, bingo. It's an email from his assistant.
01:05:28Oh my god.
01:05:31They're praising us for the movie. They're saying that, they're saying that they're very proud of what we did, and that Mitch has been trying to get his hands on me for quite some time.
01:05:42You know, they threw in a lot of comments about you too.
01:05:45What?
01:05:46Compliments.
01:05:47Saying that, that he's always wanted to get you on one of his films, and uh, he's quite jealous of the fact that I got you.
01:05:53Well, I will never work with Mitch, ever. Not over my dead body.
01:05:59Look at this. You just invited me to an abandoned building to discuss a new project.
01:06:04An abandoned building? Oh wow! That doesn't seem suspicious.
01:06:09Yes, well, I think Mitch and I both know each other's intentions at this point, so, it's definitely a trap.
01:06:16What are you gonna do? Are you gonna go?
01:06:18Well, I'm gonna confront him. I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind, and you are gonna come with me, because I have a plan.
01:06:26Okay, okay, what's the plan?
01:06:29I want you to dress like your late mother the day that she died. Use your costume for the movie, and just prepare to act like a ghost.
01:06:39And what? And just scare him?
01:06:41I want you to give him the fright of his life, alright? While I destroy him with my words, you and her and that, we've got him.
01:06:49Okay, and then what?
01:06:51Then, we wait for him to break down, he confesses everything, and we call the cops.
01:06:56What?
01:06:57What if he knows that I'm Clara, and not my dead mother's ghost, just right from the get-go?
01:07:03It doesn't matter, alright? The goal is to stir up his guilt.
01:07:07What if he tries to kill us?
01:07:09Hey, like I said, we call the cops. It's up to you, bro.
01:07:15Okay.
01:07:16Okay.
01:07:17Okay?
01:07:18Yeah?
01:07:19I'm in.
01:07:20Let's do it.
01:07:30Mitch.
01:07:32So you're the scumbag who's been fucking with me.
01:07:44I've been holding onto my rage for the past 20 years.
01:07:48I'm gonna make you pay for everything that you did to Claire.
01:07:52But you've got no evidence.
01:07:59And I'm never gonna admit what I did or didn't do.
01:08:05Do you have any remorse for what you did to her?
01:08:09You know, I'm sure that out of all of the actresses that you've slept with, none of them were as good, or as decent, or as loyal to you as Claire was.
01:08:18That's good in bed, I'll give her that.
01:08:23You know, she was just a bimbo who got what she deserved.
01:08:27A newsflash, mate.
01:08:29She's dead, has been for a while, so...
01:08:32I don't really see the point of all this, you know?
01:08:36Do you know that her baby survived?
01:08:39Bullshit.
01:08:41Hmm.
01:08:42There's no way, it's not medically possible.
01:08:44Nice try.
01:08:45Okay.
01:08:46Well, Clara, the starlet that you so desperately want in all of your projects.
01:08:55She's your daughter, Mitch.
01:09:01I mean, did it ever occur to you how much she looks like Claire?
01:09:06Were you ever able to figure that one out?
01:09:09What do you want from me?
01:09:11I want to torture you for what you did to her.
01:09:14I want to make you suffer as much as you made Claire suffer before you murdered her.
01:09:19You listen here, you fucking bastard.
01:09:24One phone call from me, you disappear forever, got that?
01:09:28Hey?
01:09:29Mitch.
01:09:32Is it really you?
01:09:38Why did you kill me, Mitch?
01:09:41I told you the baby and I wouldn't bother you.
01:09:45Why did you have to do what you did?
01:09:47I did.
01:09:50You shut up.
01:09:51You're not real.
01:09:57I kept screaming your name but you had your hand wrapped around my throat.
01:10:02I don't understand how carrying your child was such a crime that you had to murder me.
01:10:10I said.
01:10:11Shut up!
01:10:12You shut up!
01:10:14You're not real.
01:10:16Claire is dead.
01:10:17I know that you're Clara.
01:10:20Mitch, I had so many dreams.
01:10:22But you.
01:10:25Me.
01:10:26A happy ending.
01:10:29I would have given up anything for you.
01:10:33But not my child.
01:10:34Not our child.
01:10:38No, you just probably...
01:10:40What? You fucked someone else.
01:10:42Tried to pass the kid off the night.
01:10:43God, you are such a heartless pig.
01:10:46Her life literally revolved around you all.
01:10:48And you.
01:10:50Weaseling your way in.
01:10:51Trying to forget my sloppy seconds.
01:10:54You're pathetic.
01:10:56Both of you.
01:11:02I never loved anyone but you Mitch.
01:11:07And you killed me.
01:11:10Have you ever thought about me?
01:11:13Even once?
01:11:15After all these years?
01:11:19You're a hell of a good actress.
01:11:21I'll give you that.
01:11:23That what you want to hear?
01:11:25The way you kissed my cheek.
01:11:28That night.
01:11:30And you held my hand.
01:11:32I...
01:11:34I thought all our troubles were really over.
01:11:39I had nothing Mitch.
01:11:42No money.
01:11:43I cried myself to sleep.
01:11:46Every.
01:11:47Night.
01:11:49How do you know what happened between me and...
01:11:54Answer me!
01:11:56And you whispered in my ear.
01:11:58That everything was gonna be okay.
01:12:03And you got that look.
01:12:05In your eye and...
01:12:07You pull me by my hair.
01:12:10And you push me up against the wall!
01:12:13God you fucking monster!
01:12:16I can take you and your career to places you couldn't otherwise attract.
01:12:20Leave her alone alright?
01:12:21You see?
01:12:22You see this?
01:12:23This is the kind of man that your father is.
01:12:24And you wondered how he managed to murder your mother.
01:12:28This ends now!
01:12:30Piece of shit.
01:12:31It's okay.
01:12:32Things gonna be fine.
01:12:34I got the act Clara.
01:12:35Last chance I would kill him.
01:12:36You hear me?
01:12:38Fucking animal alright?
01:12:39You...
01:12:40I'm gonna make you pay for what you did.
01:12:42I got the act Clara.
01:12:43Last chance I would kill him.
01:12:45You hear me?
01:12:47Fucking animal alright?
01:12:48You...
01:12:49I'm gonna make you pay for what you did.
01:12:52No.
01:12:56No Alex no.
01:12:58You're not gonna do anything.
01:13:00Clara this is not the time for forgiveness alright?
01:13:03He needs to...
01:13:05I need to finish this.
01:13:07Alex this is not your revenge to take.
01:13:11This man...
01:13:13Doesn't have a shred of guilt.
01:13:16For killing me.
01:13:19He doesn't have any room in his heart for his child.
01:13:23You can drop the act okay?
01:13:24He knows that you're not clear as ghost.
01:13:26We need to finish him.
01:13:27I...
01:13:28I need to finish him.
01:13:31You know Mitch.
01:13:32I loved you.
01:13:34So much.
01:13:36You are my everything.
01:13:38I would have given up everything for you.
01:13:41But you just couldn't bear the thought...
01:13:44Of me...
01:13:46Raising our child on my own.
01:13:50You had to kill me.
01:13:53And kill your unborn child.
01:13:54What kind of evil man does it take to do that?
01:13:58You're a monster.
01:14:00Mitch.
01:14:01May you never rest in peace.
01:14:05You shut up!
01:14:07I know you're not Claire's ghost.
01:14:10If you are my daughter it's because you've got half my part.
01:14:14Your mother was a lazy, weak, pathetic actress...
01:14:18Who kept sleeping with me for money.
01:14:20Now leave this fucking loser behind.
01:14:23And let's take your career to the next level.
01:14:25What do you say?
01:14:26You shut up.
01:14:27You fucking shut up!
01:14:28You piece of shit liar.
01:14:29No.
01:14:30No, you...
01:14:32Claire.
01:14:33Claire, please.
01:14:34This...
01:14:35This is why we need to finish him.
01:14:36I need to end him now!
01:14:38Come on.
01:14:39Come on.
01:14:46Did I kill him?
01:14:48I swear I didn't even have my fingers on the trigger.
01:14:51What?
01:14:55Claire.
01:14:56Claire, where did you get this?
01:14:58It's the same one I gave your mother on her birthday but...
01:15:02She was buried with it.
01:15:06Here I thought it was one of a kind.
01:15:15Alex!
01:15:17Alex!
01:15:18Are you okay?
01:15:19Why are you looking at me like that?
01:15:25Did...
01:15:26Did you give me that bracelet?
01:15:30What...
01:15:31Bracelet, Alex?
01:15:37No way.
01:15:40Is...
01:15:41Is this...
01:15:43I think so.
01:15:45And...
01:15:47It's only fitting that you get it.
01:15:50I mean...
01:15:53It's...
01:15:54It's beautiful but...
01:15:56How?
01:15:58I don't know but...
01:16:01Come on.
01:16:04We should get out of here.
01:16:05Let's get out of here.
