00:00Congratulations to Dorothy for winning the best original screenplay at the Rising Stars
00:16Movie Awards.
00:18You did it.
00:20Three years ago, I was the most sought after screenwriter.
00:25Three years later, I fell in love with Drake.
00:28Giving my identity a secret for the sake of his pride.
00:32I thought we were happy until...
00:38Hi.
00:46Where the hell have you been?
00:47I told you that Stephanie was coming to help set up for my brother's birthday,
00:51and instead of helping us, he just disappeared.
00:54What, did you fail so you could go and laze around or something?
00:56You know, people say that the only reason you're allowed to stay by Drake's side
01:00is because you're nothing more than a free maid.
01:03Otherwise, why would someone like you be allowed to marry my brother?
01:08What?
01:09A maid?
01:10I just hid my identity for the sake of this marriage.
01:13Well, I think Drake's idea is great, and it could be really good for us.
01:17But the risk is way too high.
01:22Dad.
01:24Please.
01:26Okay.
01:27And I'm sure you don't want him to know the real reason why I'm a person.
01:32Think about it, Dorothy.
01:37So if you got married, has he ever even touched you?
01:40How often does he actually come home?
01:42He doesn't even want to look at you.
01:45Let alone sleep with you.
01:46That's enough, Ellie.
01:48We're all here to celebrate Drake's birthday.
01:50I'm sure he wouldn't be happy to see us like this.
01:52Everybody knows that if it weren't for her, you would be married to Drake
01:56instead of being my late brother's widow.
01:58Ellie!
02:00Whatever happened between me and Drake is all in the past.
02:03Besides, I'm carrying Nick's baby.
02:09It's the perfect time.
02:13Oh, my God!
02:14Oh, my God!
02:14So, Dorothy just pushed Stephanie into the pool!
02:17What?
02:22She's carrying Nick's baby!
02:30Quick, get in there!
02:45He chose Stephanie over me.
02:50My baby!
02:51My baby is gone!
02:53Why would you do this to me?
02:57How dare you!
02:58You pushed Stephanie into the pool to try and kill her and her unborn baby.
03:02Are you happy now that Stephanie's baby's gone?
03:05I didn't do it!
03:06I know you don't want me here!
03:07I told you whatever happened between me and Drake is in the past!
03:11You can hate me however you want to,
03:12but how could you be so cruel as to kill my unborn child?
03:15I didn't do it!
03:16You know me, I would never do that to Stephanie!
03:20Apologize to Stephanie.
03:21I'm not going to apologize for something I didn't do!
03:24Apologize to Stephanie right now or I will divorce you.
03:34Divorce?
03:35If you apologize right now, then I'm willing to give you another chance.
03:45It's been three years, Drake.
03:47I gave up everything to be your wife.
03:49You've always kept to the shadows, Dorothy.
03:52I already have a life.
03:54And right now I just want to focus on being on my marriage or Drake.
03:58I thought you would always be by my side, but I was wrong.
04:05The only reason you're allowed to stay by Drake's side is because you're nothing more than a free maid.
04:10Since you got married, has he ever even touched you?
04:12He doesn't even want to look at you.
04:17Fine!
04:17Let's get a divorce.
04:28There's nothing left in my heart.
04:30Drake's nothing without me.
04:31My ring!
04:36My ring is gone!
04:38Well, you must have taken it.
04:40Why would I take her ring?
04:41Well, look how quickly you packed your suitcase.
04:43You're probably seeing someone else.
04:46Dorothy.
04:46We were married for three years.
04:50Were you seeing someone else?
04:52Of course she was.
04:53I've been cheating on you for a really long time.
04:55Couldn't wait for the divorce.
04:58So what if I was, huh?
05:00And what about you?
05:01Still hung up on your so-called sister-in-law?
05:04What gives you the right to talk about me?
05:06I only look after Stephanie because she's my brother's widow.
05:11But you actually seeing someone else?
05:13Who is he?
05:13Big talk!
05:14Don't bring me down to your level.
05:17I'm not like you.
05:19Since your sister-in-law lost her ring,
05:24why don't you take...
05:27this one?
05:34You've been waiting for this for a long time, haven't you?
05:41Bye.
05:44And so I left.
05:53This is ridiculous!
05:55We, the Fennett family, are one of the four major production companies in the world.
05:59I let him marry my daughter and even invested in his business.
06:04How dare that Drake do this to my daughter!
06:07Look, it's actually a good thing to add.
06:10Now we know who he really is, and he has no idea who I am.
06:15Still, you're my daughter.
06:17I can't let him do this to you.
06:19If it weren't for you, I would not have considered investing in his company.
06:22We're going to pull our investment immediately.
06:25Yes.
06:25It's time to cut him off.
06:27He doesn't deserve you.
06:29I'm over Drake.
06:30If we withdraw the pants now, it's going to hurt the family business.
06:35Isn't it worth it?
06:38Honey, why don't you just take a vacation?
06:43Oh, just put all this aside and take some time out for yourself.
06:47Yeah.
06:47I've wasted too much time with Drake over the three years.
06:58You know, now I want to focus on something that actually matters.
07:03You know, Christopher has been saying that many people want to buy the movie rights to Liar's Game.
07:09Universal, Paramount, every major studio wants this.
07:12Liar's Game, your story on the big screen.
07:19If you're in, I'd be happy to be the one headlining it.
07:21Oh, so that's why they're making it, because of you.
07:25I'm sorry, Christopher Santoro.
07:27See, they're not funding the film.
07:30They're funding you.
07:32Oh.
07:33They're funding the story.
07:35It's more than good.
07:37It's phenomenal.
07:39My sir is right.
07:41I'm taking my life back.
07:42I'm going to adopt it myself.
07:49You are?
07:51Yes.
07:52I will.
07:54Good to you.
07:56I won't tell anyone I'm asking you.
08:07Congratulations to Aria Wong for winning the best director.
08:11This is my close friend from college.
08:19Aria, I need your help.
08:21I want to adopt the Liar's Game myself.
08:23And I want you to direct it.
08:26Of course.
08:26I want to keep my identity as the writer a secret.
08:34I don't want anyone to know, especially not the team.
08:38SQ.
08:39Are you sure?
08:41But why keep it a secret?
08:42I just want people to focus on the story itself.
08:46Got it.
08:46Your secret's safe with me.
08:48Hey.
08:49Hey.
08:50Oh my God.
08:54Jeff.
08:55Spit wind.
08:57Ever since news got out about our movie, my phone has not stopped ringing.
09:02Really?
09:08It's Stephanie.
09:09Yeah, just take it.
09:18Hello?
09:19Hello, Miss Wong.
09:21I've heard Liar's Game is being made into a movie.
09:23I'm interested in playing the lead.
09:25Can we arrange an audition?
09:26I'll speak to the writer and I'll let you know.
09:32Thank you, Miss Wong.
09:35What do you think?
09:38Anyone can audition, right?
09:40As long as they're right for the role.
09:43What happened between me and Stephanie is not important here, so...
09:47Okay.
09:49I'll call her back and let her know.
09:51Mm-hmm.
09:56What about me?
10:04Can I be your hero?
10:10Oh, you mean, uh...
10:11A film, right?
10:14I...
10:14I've never considered anyone else.
10:19I have to take this.
10:22Hi.
10:26You know, I'm not just talking about the film, Dorothy.
10:31It's okay.
10:33I can wait.
10:36Waited this long.
10:41Well, well, well.
10:43Look who it is.
10:48Why are you here?
10:49Oh, I see.
10:51You're the production assistant.
10:53Well, do your job.
10:56Get me a water.
10:59Stephanie.
11:01Get your own water.
11:02I'm not your PA.
11:04Look.
11:05It's my first day on set and I want to buy coffee for the crew.
11:09Why don't you be a doll and mark down everyone's order?
11:12Why are you deaf?
11:14I'm not a PA.
11:17Here's your tip.
11:18Go on.
11:20Show some respect, Stephanie.
11:22Do you know who she is?
11:26What are you doing?
11:27Oh, no.
11:29She can't know I'm a school.
11:33I want to keep my identity as the writer a secret.
11:36I don't want anyone to know, especially in the team.
11:43What do you mean?
11:45Who is she?
11:46Who is she?
11:47No wonder to lower PA, I'm sure.
11:54Isn't that right?
11:55Well, actually, she's...
11:56She's just a PA.
12:02You're right.
12:03So why don't you show me a lower PA, your acting sales.
12:09Maybe I'll be impressed and even buy you the coffees myself.
12:13Watch this.
12:13I loved you once.
12:20Or so I thought.
12:23But now I see that it was all just a lie.
12:27A beautiful...
12:30Painful lie.
12:32You took everything from me.
12:38My dreams.
12:42I hate you.
12:46See?
12:47There's no soul.
12:49That's not acting.
12:50It's just...
12:51reciting lines.
12:52Why don't you show how it's done?
12:55What?
12:57Go on.
13:02Go on.
13:03Go on.
13:03I loved you once.
13:25So I thought.
13:30But now I can see.
13:32It was all a lie.
13:35A beautiful, painful lie.
13:39You took everything from me.
13:42My heart.
13:46My dreams.
13:48My future.
13:51And for what?
13:54For your own personal gains.
14:06How is that possible?
14:09Dorothy, that was perfect.
14:12The role is yours if you want it.
14:15No!
14:16This role is mine!
14:19I'm the one with the investment.
14:20Without me, there's no funding for this movie.
14:22Your investment?
14:24Do you even know who she is?
14:27Who is she?
14:33Who is she?
14:34As you know, no one but the PA.
14:37Dorothy, this movie is important to Stephanie.
14:40I mean, why are you here?
14:42You're not a real actress.
14:43What are you doing?
14:44You're trying to ruin her career.
14:45You're trying to get back at me by ruining her career.
14:47I'm not ruining anything.
14:49If she can't handle the role,
14:51that's on her, not me.
14:53You can't blame this on anyone else.
14:54You embarrassed her in front of everyone.
14:57I mean, I know what you're doing.
14:58You're the one pulling all the strings here.
15:00You're trying to make her fail so you can take her place.
15:03She's using this whole thing to get to you, Drake.
15:05She's been jealous from the start,
15:07trying to ruin my chances to get back to you.
15:09I know.
15:10I don't want to fight anymore.
15:11Well, let's just take a look at the scripts
15:13and maybe we can work something up.
15:16And you were just so damn selfish!
15:19You already care about yourself!
15:21Just give Stephanie her role back!
15:24You know what?
15:24I didn't want to do this.
15:28Very well.
15:29I'll take the role.
15:31I'll play the lead.
15:36I'll play the lead.
15:37No way!
15:38You can't be serious!
15:39She's not even a real actress!
15:44Dorothy's performance was far stronger than yours.
15:46Everyone in the room can see it.
15:50I'm so glad you've agreed to do the role.
15:54Right, it's settled then.
15:56The lead roles go to Christopher and Dorothy.
16:00I will double my investment
16:02if you give Stephanie a role.
16:09I never thought I'd see the day my ex-husband
16:12would go this far for his sister-in-law.
16:15I can always count on you, right?
16:17I will double my investment
16:24if you give a role to Stephanie.
16:26You two are just such...
16:29Okay, look.
16:32If the money's on the table,
16:34there's no reason to turn it down.
16:35Let's just give her a part.
16:38We have nothing to lose.
16:39I guess that'll be fine.
16:41I'll talk to S.Q.
16:49Your father's production company
16:50is already the biggest investor in your movie,
16:52so why take Drake's money?
16:54Jane, you still have feelings for Drake.
16:58No!
16:59He's an asshole!
17:01Come on.
17:03I've got an idea.
17:04Why don't we just give her a character?
17:08That'll make her miserable.
17:12Wow, Mrs. Sontaro.
17:13I feel bad now.
17:20I only wish she didn't have feelings for Drake anymore.
17:25How did she land herself the role?
17:27She's practically a nobody.
17:29The fan base, the real experience.
17:32Just one good scene.
17:33Does that make sense?
17:37Find out everything you can about Dorothy.
17:40I want all the dirt.
17:48Director, there must be a mistake.
17:50I'm only a side character,
17:52and not even in the main scene.
17:54You wanted a role, we gave you a role.
17:57I came in with an investment.
18:00Well, you're more than welcome to take it back
18:02and leave the set.
18:06If a small role in SQ's film
18:07is going to do great things for your career,
18:09now is not the time for you to be messing around.
18:13Fine.
18:20Two, take one.
18:22Action.
18:23Lily, you are my best friend.
18:24How could you do this to me?
18:25How could you do this to me?
18:25I'm sorry, but this is a...
18:27What the hell are you doing?
18:31It's poor in the scene!
18:37Okay, take it again from this lap.
18:40Action.
18:40Cut!
18:45Cut!
18:46Stephanie, why aren't you saying your lines?
18:49You have to keep going in the scene.
18:52I think you've had enough for today.
18:54We'll just try again tomorrow.
18:55Did you see her face?
19:05Absolute gold.
19:07I mean, she got what she wanted.
19:08She asks for a role, and that's what we gave her, so...
19:11Seriously, her performance is all over the place.
19:15Maybe we should just cut down on her screen time.
19:19We all know the film's better without her slowing us down.
19:22You're right.
19:24I'm not gonna let anyone ruin your story.
19:31So, if you can just give me something that's a bit more...
19:36What's going on with my scenes?
19:45Why have so many of them been cut?
19:47It's a collective decision.
19:51Fuck that!
19:51Let me talk to the writer.
19:53The writer is SQ, and as you know, they never show their face, so their decision is final.
20:01I'll see you on set in five.
20:02Now it all makes sense.
20:16That's the head of the production company.
20:26No wonder she got the role.
20:30Let's see how John's wife feels about that.
20:32Everyone, I have an announcement to make.
20:43Today will be Stephanie's last day on set.
20:47You really think I don't see through your little gaze.
20:53Somebody will be walking out that door today, but it won't be me.
20:58You really think you can get away with this?
21:01Sleeping your way up?
21:06John's wife is on her way.
21:08Let's see how you talk your way out of this one.
21:10Slut.
21:16That's enough!
21:17So were you the one who was stalking and secretly taking photos?
21:24What?
21:25What?
21:26Scared the truth is going to come out?
21:28Someone had to expose her for who she really is.
21:31So you admit it.
21:32You did it.
21:33Damn right I did.
21:34And I'd do it again if I had to.
21:38You don't know who you just cross!
21:41I know!
21:42Just some rich old bastard throwing a tantrum.
21:45I sent those photos to your wife too.
21:47And now your mistress is about to be exposed.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Security.
21:54Stephanie is banned from the studio.
21:55Make sure she never sets foot here again.
21:58You can't just do that!
21:59Oh, this is insane!
22:01Well, I have rights!
22:02I would only tell you the truth!
22:03She is a mistress!
22:04A loose woman!
22:05A lady of the night!
22:15Is it true that Dorothy is John's sugar baby?
22:17Otherwise, why would he come onto the set and get me banned from the movie?
22:21That's unbelievable.
22:23And he humiliated me.
22:24He had me dragged off the set like a criminal.
22:26You should have seen it.
22:28I'm not going to let her just ruin her reputation like this.
22:32I mean, this whole mess is just making us look like fools.
22:37Dorothy's always been trouble.
22:38I mean, first she goes off with a married man and now this.
22:42I don't know how you put up with her for three years.
22:45You should have got a divorce earlier.
22:48Stephanie, are you 100% sure that Dorothy is John's sugar baby?
22:53It's the only explanation!
22:55She's clearly nothing but a slut!
22:57Oh!
22:58Drake, Stephanie is your sister-in-law.
23:03Now you need to take care of her and forget about Dorothy.
23:07Can't you see she's the one behind all of this?
23:10She was sleeping her way to the top.
23:13Killing Stephanie's unborn child.
23:16And John dragging her off the set.
23:18You should be sticking up for Stephanie.
23:24I'm not going to let her do this to you.
23:25Do you think you can just walk away from what you did like nothing happened?
23:30I didn't walk away from anything.
23:31You did.
23:32You told Stephanie over me.
23:33Remember this one?
23:34Well, she's my sister-in-law.
23:35I'm so sick of hearing this.
23:36You have feelings for her and I'm just tired of it.
23:39You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to let you get away with this.
23:42You do what you want to do.
23:43For now, get out!
23:44Why?
23:45We were murdered.
23:46You were murdered.
23:47You were murdered.
23:48You killed Stephanie over me.
23:49I was murdered.
23:50You killed Stephanie over me.
23:51Remember this one?
23:52Well, she's my sister-in-law.
23:53I'm so sick of hearing this.
23:54You have feelings for her and I'm just tired of it.
23:57You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to let you get away with this.
24:00You do what you want to do.
24:02But for now, get out!
24:05Why?
24:06We were murdered.
24:11We were married for three years.
24:13And we never...
24:14Oh, your dear!
24:15Fuck!
24:16We might let go of it!
24:25No wonder you want me to go.
24:28Just look at yourself.
24:30You're not half the man Christopher is.
24:34Get out.
24:36Or I won't call the cops.
24:38Just go!
24:41Are you okay?
24:48Are you okay?
24:55Dorothy?
24:56Yeah?
24:57Remember, safety first.
24:59The lifeguard's right there if you need him.
25:01Okay.
25:02Anything you need to let the AD know.
25:06Okay.
25:07Got it.
25:08Got it.
25:16Here's a coffee for you.
25:17No problem.
25:18It's still early before the shoot.
25:19Take your time.
25:20It's still early before the shoot.
25:21Take your time.
25:22Oh, God.
25:23Oh, God.
25:24Okay.
25:25I'm not watching you.
25:26I'm sorry.
25:27I'm sorry.
25:28Oh, God.
25:29I'm sorry.
25:30Oh, God!
25:31What?
25:32Love you three?
25:34Oh, God.
25:35Oh, God.
25:36Oh, God.
25:38I'm ready.
25:39I'm ready.
25:41Oh, God.
25:42Oh, God.
25:43The list is a bad guy.
25:44Oh, God.
25:45Something's wrong.
26:15That's not acting.
26:20She's in trouble.
26:26Where's the left guard?
26:32Where's the left guard?
26:45Where the fuck is the left guard?
27:02Come on, Dorothy.
27:05Why did you do that?
27:29I'll do anything for you, Dorothy.
27:36Christopher risked everything without hesitation.
27:40How could I have been so blind?
27:59I wasn't expecting that.
28:14Where were you?
28:15Dorothy could have drowned.
28:16I'm sorry.
28:17I had a summer gig.
28:18I had to go to the box.
28:19Make sure it does nothing again.
28:25Do you think that I should call Dorothy just to make sure she's okay?
28:28Are you still hung up on her?
28:32No.
28:34It's not like that.
28:35I'm just trying to be helpful.
28:36Don't you remember, Jane?
28:39She's the one who had me kicked out of the movie.
28:42She's the one who killed my baby.
28:44Not just my baby, but Nick's baby.
28:46I know I'm just your sister-in-law.
28:49Whatever happened between us is in the past.
28:51But I have no one now.
28:54No husband.
28:56No baby.
28:58I have left us here.
29:02You see through Dorothy again.
29:04She's nothing but a slut sleeping away from the top.
29:06You don't know that.
29:09You know I'm right.
29:11Why else would John come onto the set and stand up for her?
29:13Not just John, but Christopher too.
29:16She's sleeping around with anyone she can find.
29:18She's a whore.
29:19Shut up!
29:29You want war?
29:31I'll give you war.
29:36Do it.
29:38Make sure Dorothy feels every bit of it.
29:41Breaking news.
29:47Unknown actress seduces Hollywood heartthrob.
29:50Rising star or opportunist.
29:52Actress Dorothy's shocking affair with Christopher.
29:55Christopher's new flame for a heartless gold ditter.
29:58Dorothy!
29:59Liar!
30:00Happy!
30:03This is getting out of hand.
30:06Maybe we should just reveal her real identity.
30:09Let everyone know she's not just some random actress.
30:11Dorothy, once we tell them who you are, there's no reason for them to attack you.
30:20There's someone behind us.
30:22And whoever they are, I'll make them pay.
30:31Fuck off.
30:32This can't be right.
30:44I die in the second scene.
30:47This must be Dorothy and John forcing SQ to cut me out.
30:51They won't get away with this.
30:52They've completely written me out of the script.
31:02Don't you remember when Nick was lying in that hospital bed?
31:05You promised him you'd look after me.
31:08I've already lost my husband and my baby.
31:10I can't lose my career too.
31:11Don't worry.
31:12I'll get you your character back.
31:32There's a tape of a documentary that apparently SQ has always wanted.
31:36So, if we win this bid and we gift it to them, you should be able to get you your rollback.
31:41Up next, a rare gem.
31:47The original film documentary chronicling the creative journey of none other than herself.
31:53Legendary screenwriter, Margaret Lane.
31:56$60,000.
31:58What's she doing here?
32:01I don't know.
32:03I'm not going to let her win this.
32:05$60,000.
32:06$70,000.
32:14$100,000.
32:17This is my grandmother's documentary.
32:20It's her legacy.
32:21She's the one who inspired me to become a screenwriter.
32:24I can't let her fall into the wrong hands.
32:29$500,000.
32:30$100,000.
32:36$500,000.
32:43I'm trying to get you your rollback.
32:45Don't worry.
32:46I've got it covered.
32:47Ladies and gentlemen, we are down to the final bid.
32:52Standing at a whopping $500,000.
32:55$500,000 going once.
32:59$500,000 going twice.
33:01Sold.
33:02To the lady in the blue dress.
33:04I can't believe this.
33:14You have no right to take that film reel with you.
33:21You have no right to take that film reel with you.
33:27What's going on?
33:28Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that Miss Dorothy is in fact not an invited guest.
33:41Therefore, as per our rules, this documentary reel will not be released to Miss Dorothy.
33:47This is ridiculous.
33:48I was invited.
33:49Well, in that case, may I see your invitation?
33:59I did have it, I swear.
34:00I'm sorry, Miss Dorothy.
34:02If you do not have the invitation at hand, the documentary reel has to go to the second highest bidder.
34:06This is the protocol.
34:07Oh, you don't understand.
34:08I'm sorry.
34:28I'm sorry.
34:29These are the rules.
34:31The documentary reel will go to the honourable couple.
34:53Stephanie, wait.
34:55Just sell it to me.
34:57Name your price.
34:58I'll pay you anything you want.
34:59It's really important to me, please.
35:02Why are you doing this?
35:04Are you just trying to get my attention by going after something that Stephanie wants?
35:08No, you don't understand.
35:10Just let me buy this.
35:13Whatever it takes.
35:15You're not far with me.
35:16You think this is about money?
35:18Please.
35:19This isn't something you can just buy.
35:22Griffin, what the hell are you doing?
35:25Why do you always have to go against her like that?
35:26This reel is important to Stephanie.
35:28She can use this to help her career.
35:31Her career?
35:33Is this about you all being cut from her hair?
35:37Is that why you're doing this?
35:41I'm the writer.
35:42Fix this.
35:43Then you write the story and bring your character back.
35:46Just...
35:47Just let me have the real place.
35:50You're the writer.
35:52Are you telling me that you're SQ?
35:54Yes.
35:55You.
35:58The writer SQ.
36:00Can you give us a break?
36:01Look.
36:02It's real.
36:03It's important to Stephanie.
36:05End it.
36:06Don't make this harder than it has to be.
36:09You've been with Dorothy for so long.
36:11And you don't even know her.
36:12Oh, and you do.
36:14A hell of a lot more than you.
36:15What do you think you are?
36:16Both of you, come down.
36:17Scratched all over.
36:33It's ruined.
36:34Not even fit to be a gift anymore.
36:36I can fix this.
36:38Stephanie, I know someone who can restore it.
36:39Just send it to me, please.
36:41Just name your Christ.
36:42Even if I had no use for it, I'd never give it to you.
36:48I want to be a writer like you, Grandma.
37:17I want to make movies like you do.
37:21This reel has more than pictures and sound on it.
37:26Really?
37:27An entire world I've captured.
37:30But it's just one way of seeing things.
37:33The magic is creating it yourself.
37:36Someday you will.
37:37Dorothy, I need you to go apologize to Stephanie and give her her rollback.
37:55Apologize?
37:56To her?
37:57She destroyed the reel.
37:59And she wouldn't have done that if you hadn't pushed her.
38:05So go apologize or I'm pulling my funding.
38:09Look, Dorothy.
38:10Let's be real here.
38:13Without Stephanie, there is good and the best.
38:17Even the production company will call out if they hear that she's not involved anymore.
38:20Her name carries weight.
38:22Let's not pretend that your reputation is exactly stellar right now.
38:26Christopher's fans hate you.
38:27Stephanie's fans hate you.
38:29Even if you actually make this film, no one is going to spoil it.
38:33You will be buried.
38:36If you apologize to Stephanie and now, I can help you.
38:42I can control the press.
38:44I can control the narrative.
38:46I can actually give you a chance.
38:47What's so funny?
38:54What's so funny?
38:56You're funding.
38:58Do it.
38:59You'll see it does nothing for the movie.
39:01Okay.
39:02So what if I tell the production head to pull his funding too?
39:06Didn't I tell you that I know Mr. Bennett?
39:08Oh.
39:09Go ahead.
39:11Quiet.
39:12You want me to call?
39:13Mm-hmm.
39:15Fine.
39:17Hi, Mr. Bennett.
39:20It's Drake.
39:22Drake Mossbacher.
39:23Yeah, I'm pulling my funding from Liars Game and I suggest that you do the same thing.
39:26I've seen it and it's a sinking ship.
39:28Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
39:30You're pulling up?
39:31Great.
39:32I'll take full control of the investment.
39:34Not a problem.
39:41So you sat with it?
39:42That's why he's supporting you, isn't it?
39:50Is this how you see me?
39:51The type of woman who would use her body to get what she wants?
39:54What other explanation do you have?
39:57You know nothing about Dorothy.
40:02Apologize to Stephanie.
40:03Cut ties with Mr. Bennett and end this.
40:06Dorothy, come back to me.
40:07Whatever he's offering you will match.
40:08I'll double it.
40:10You must be out of your fucking mind.
40:12What makes you think I would ever go back to that living hell?
40:16Living hell?
40:17You heard me.
40:18Being married to you was a fucking nightmare.
40:22You made me believe you loved me.
40:25And then you had me waiting in vain for three years, Drake.
40:29You said you'd always protect me, but then when I needed you the most,
40:34you just turned your back on me.
40:36You chose your sister-in-law over your wife.
40:42I've had enough, Drake.
40:43You were my prison.
40:45So just go back to your precious Stephanie.
40:52Let's just go.
40:55Why are you hurt?
41:04Are you okay?
41:12What is that for you doing?
41:13Well, you want me, don't you?
41:15Just kiss me.
41:16I'm all yours.
41:16Steph!
41:17You're Nick's wife.
41:18I've always thought of you.
41:19You're like a sister.
41:21Sister?
41:23Funny.
41:23Don't you remember when you came to me the night Nick and I got married?
41:27Don't you remember what you said?
41:30Remember this?
41:31Yeah.
41:32Why not marry Stephanie?
41:34God.
41:35You were practically begging me not to marry Nick.
41:37No, I shouldn't have said that.
41:38I shouldn't have said that.
41:39Let's see.
41:42What's that?
41:44Oh, it's nothing.
41:45What is that?
41:45No, Drake, no.
41:46Please.
41:49You lied about this.
41:54You lied about this.
41:58You said that Dorothy pushed you into the water, but this shows you shoving her in.
42:02It's a glitch.
42:04A glitch.
42:06So, do you actually expect me to believe that?
42:09What's this?
42:12Find pills off the black market.
42:15Did anyone hit your pregnancy?
42:17It's me.
42:18It's time when you blamed Dorothy like some sort of scapegoat, and she was innocent the whole time.
42:23Please, no, you have to believe me.
42:25I didn't...
42:25Do you know what?
42:26I've always thought of you like a sister.
42:28I've always taken care of you.
42:29I even thought that I loved you once, but that was before you were Nick's wife.
42:35You changed.
42:39You changed.
42:42You're not the person I thought you were.
42:46I only looked after you because I thought it was my duty, as an ex-brother, to look after his widow.
42:51I guessed his name.
42:52I didn't need to look after you anymore, eh?
42:55But what does that mean?
42:56You're just going to throw me away?
42:58I'm not going to throw you away, but this is my house.
43:04I'm not back.
43:04I hope you'll be gone.
43:06But you can't just walk away from me like that.
43:08I've said everything that I need to say.
43:10Now I'm going to go find the person that I actually care about.
43:17Don't let me know.
43:18This is what you want.
43:20Don't let me know.
43:21Let's take this bitch down.
43:25Don't let me know.
43:31Don't let me know.
43:37I want to say please.
43:44No.
43:44I was wrong.
43:48I misunderstood everything about you and about us.
43:55Can you please just hear me out?
43:57You think you can just come here and apologise?
44:01After everything?
44:02I didn't mean to hurt you.
44:05Look, I understand what I did, but it was just because of Stephanie and anyone.
44:09Can you please just forgive me?
44:12I don't need your apology, Drake.
44:14You let me down.
44:16You abandoned me when I needed you the most.
44:20You used me, manipulated me, and now you beg for my forgiveness?
44:26Oh, God, please, just don't show me out.
44:28I can fix this.
44:30I can fix that.
44:31I can do anything, Dorothy, please.
44:33No.
44:35You were never the person who thought you were.
44:39And I'm not either.
44:41I moved on.
44:43I don't need you.
44:49Not like I used to.
44:51Just stay back.
44:52After everything.
44:53Yeah, that's it.
44:55I just have to say that, yes.
45:09I just have to say that, yes.
45:12Before you all celebrate this movie, there's something you should know.
45:39Dorothy is nothing but a homewrecker.
45:42What's going on?
45:44A glorified mistress who's been playing the part of a wonderful actress when all she's really
45:49done is ruin lives.
45:51This is true, Dorothy.
45:54We're being involved with a married man.
45:55What's your response to Stephanie's claim?
46:01This is ridiculous.
46:03Let's talk about how she got here, shall we?
46:06She didn't get here off her talent.
46:08Oh, no.
46:09She got here by clinging to powerful men.
46:13No real experience, no skill, just a man's name and a man's money.
46:18Security, get her out of here.
46:20Wait.
46:21If she has something to say, let's hear it.
46:24Dorothy, it's a trap.
46:26I'm not afraid of the truth.
46:29Let's see what she's got.
46:30What's going on?
46:35So tell us, Dorothy.
46:37How did you get here?
46:39Did you use your relationship with John Bennett to land the part?
46:42A home-working thing.
47:01Is there something wrong with me appearing with my own dad?
47:04You're the one who sent me this photo, right?
47:07How about you take another one?
47:08This time, of my lovely family of three.
47:11Dorothy, Dorothy.
47:12Dorothy, are you really John Bennett's daughter?
47:15Yes.
47:16I bet you never asked my last name.
47:18It's Bennett's, either way.
47:21So, Dorothy is the producer's daughter.
47:25Dorothy, so did you use your father to get the part?
47:29So it's just nepotism, then.
47:35Well, even if she didn't fuck her way to the top,
47:38she's still only got hair through her connections.
47:40Whether you like it or not,
47:41my performance speaks for itself.
47:43And everyone here saw it.
47:45She was actually really good.
47:46Yeah, she handled the movie.
47:48Oh, are you saying that everyone here is wrong?
47:50You think you're so clever, don't you?
47:53Fine.
47:54You can act a little bit.
47:56But let's be real.
47:57Well, you didn't land this role on your own.
47:59You just snapped your bony little fingers
48:01and let daddy give you a role.
48:03How else would a nobody like you
48:05have landed yourself the lead otherwise?
48:07Dorothy isn't just a nobody.
48:09She wrote Liar's Game.
48:14She is SQ.
48:20Dorothy is SQ.
48:22How can that be possible?
48:24Liar's Game is a masterpiece.
48:26There's no way you could have written it.
48:28You don't have to believe me.
48:29Just let the credit speak for itself.
48:31How can this be true?
48:42Dorothy Bennett, you're the daughter of the producer
48:44and the famous writer SQ.
48:46Why did you keep your identity a secret so long?
48:51Why did you keep your identity a secret so long?
48:53Stephanie Marsbecker, Linda Marsbecker,
48:55and Ellie Marsbecker.
48:57I'm arresting you on suspicion of defamation.
48:58No, no, no, no, I didn't do anything wrong.
49:01This was all Stephanie's idea.
49:01I didn't do anything.
49:05This whole time she was actually telling the truth.
49:13Dorothy's SQ.
49:16She's a genius.
49:18That's why she always had a book in her hand.
49:23Always writing something on her laptop
49:25always lost in her thoughts.
49:28I didn't even see her.
49:32Guess I was blind all along.
49:35I don't deserve her.
49:36I've missed this place.
49:58Don't you remember?
49:59Of course I do.
50:01We saw so many films here.
50:04We would just stay in our seats and talk about life and everything.
50:12But you just made me feel like I could face more anything, really.
50:15God, I used to be so nervous back then.
50:21About everything.
50:23About the future.
50:26But you just made me feel like I could face more anything, really.
50:31No.
50:33Someone had to be there to make sure you didn't overthink everything.
50:35I remember you used to unpick every little detail like it was a life or death situation.
50:45You know, Dorothy.
50:48Life's not been the same without you.
50:50Even when we parted ways, I...
50:55I always knew that we would find each other again.
51:01I don't care what we've been through.
51:04I don't care what's happened.
51:05All I know...
51:08is that I need you now.
51:12More than ever.
51:13And the award for Best Adapted Screenplay goes to...
51:33Dorothy Bennett with Liar's Game!
51:38Wow.
51:40Best screenplay.
51:41Well, shall I start calling you Your Majesty?
51:44I think that's a great idea.
51:46Why don't I start now?
51:49You deserve this.
51:51Your Majesty.
51:53Every bit of it.
51:55Now.
51:57Since you've won,
51:58I think this calls for a reward.
52:01Oh, yeah?
52:04And what would that be?
52:07Me.
52:11Me.
52:19Me.
52:30Me.
52:31Me.
