00:00:00Love Before Dawn
00:00:03It's our third anniversary, Richard, and you're absent as usual.
00:00:23You don't even know I'm the director of Love Before Dawn.
00:00:30Good evening, Ms. Barclay.
00:00:46It's Noah Hoffman.
00:00:47The Hollywood superstar.
00:00:48Oh my gosh.
00:00:51It's been three years by I finally found you.
00:00:54Noah, I haven't seen you in forever.
00:00:57You're a huge Hollywood star now.
00:01:00Why would you be looking for me?
00:01:01I'm just a regular person.
00:01:03Well, Love Before Dawn, of course.
00:01:05I mean, it was your debut film and you swept the competition.
00:01:09It even brought you a Golden Globe.
00:01:12You know, I've been thinking about our project that we were going to work on.
00:01:16The Long Night.
00:01:18That was supposed to be your golden ticket to surpass me, but you shelved it to marry Richard
00:01:24Gallo.
00:01:27Just come back, Michelle.
00:01:29The whole world is waiting for you.
00:01:31Everyone.
00:01:32You know what?
00:01:33That's the thing.
00:01:34I'm very much in love with Richard and I'm very dedicated to my marriage, so I don't direct
00:01:42anymore.
00:01:44You love him fine.
00:01:45But if he loved you, he would be here watching this with you.
00:01:48I mean, Love Before Dawn was your masterpiece and he doesn't even know it.
00:01:53He doesn't even know you direct.
00:01:54Please don't speak about him that way, okay?
00:01:57You don't know him.
00:01:58He's very busy.
00:01:59He has a business in Japan he's dealing with.
00:02:01It was great running into you.
00:02:04I have my grandfather's birthday today and I have to help with the banquet, so if you'll
00:02:09excuse me.
00:02:10Okay.
00:02:11I'll be waiting here for you.
00:02:14Always.
00:02:17Well, look who it is.
00:02:25The girl who decided to show up late for grandfather's 80th birthday.
00:02:28What were you doing?
00:02:29Just sitting around at home on your fat ass while we all set up?
00:02:32No.
00:02:33So you didn't have to?
00:02:34What?
00:02:35No.
00:02:36I didn't mean to be late.
00:02:37I just...
00:02:38That's Richard's luggage.
00:02:39I knew it.
00:02:40He's home.
00:02:41Where do you think you're going?
00:02:43You want him to leave again?
00:02:44What?
00:02:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:02:46Okay, so let me get this straight for you.
00:02:48He doesn't want to see you.
00:02:49That's why he hasn't been home in years.
00:02:51I still don't know why my mom let some rude, shabby girl like you marry into the family
00:02:55in the first place.
00:02:56It's actually ridiculous.
00:02:57Blair, stop!
00:02:58I'm your sister-in-law!
00:02:59Yeah, sister-in-law!
00:03:00He married you because you look like Ruth!
00:03:04What?
00:03:05Ruth?
00:03:06Blair, stop.
00:03:09Ruth, it's true!
00:03:10Everyone already knows he's loved you guys since you guys were kids.
00:03:13If Ruth hadn't married her older brother, he would have never even looked at you.
00:03:17So...
00:03:19That's why we've been married all these years, but we never had.
00:03:22Michelle, I might have been his first love.
00:03:25True, but it's all in the past now.
00:03:29Enough, stop it!
00:03:30Oh my!
00:03:31Did you just push her?
00:03:33Ow!
00:03:34Pregnant with the Gallo heir!
00:03:36Stop!
00:03:37No, I didn't push her!
00:03:42You must be the best husband in the world preparing a gift like this.
00:03:45This jewelry set costs two million dollars.
00:03:48Well, she's been a good wife to me.
00:03:50She deserves it.

00:19:49The young wife of Gallo Enterprises CEO, Michelle Gallo, is suspected of attempted murder.
00:19:58She pushed Ruth Hutton, the rising star, into the pool when police had come and questioned
00:20:03her.
00:20:04Michelle, sweetheart, we just saw the news.
00:20:17What have you been through in that evil family?
00:20:20Why didn't you tell us at all?
00:20:22I'm sorry, I just didn't...
00:20:25I didn't want to worry you guys.
00:20:27No apology to mom.
00:20:29Your dad's already requested an investigation.
00:20:32It's the Gallos.
00:20:34They paid for the media.
00:20:35Thank you guys for believing me.
00:20:38Son of a bitch, I knew it.
00:20:41We did everything to support the Gallos because you were in love.
00:20:46Cancel the contracts, agreements.
00:20:49Gallo Enterprises are out.
00:20:50Everything gone, now!
00:20:52Such a coward!
00:20:53Don't worry.
00:20:54I'm not a part of the Gallo family anymore.
00:20:57Leave the rest to me.
00:21:00Um, I gotta go, okay?
00:21:04Love you guys.
00:21:05Bye.
00:21:06What are you doing here?
00:21:18You're having an affair.
00:21:22You think I don't know?
00:21:33Ruth tried to defend you, and honestly, I didn't want to believe it myself at first.
00:21:37But now I find you here, in some guy's apartment.
00:21:40What are you talking about?
00:21:42Are you sleeping with him?
00:21:44Tell me, what does he have that I don't have?
00:21:47You're hurting me!
00:21:48Answer the question!
00:21:50How long have you been screwing around behind my back?
00:21:52Get off of me!
00:21:54God, you've lost your mind.
00:21:56This is all you ever do.
00:21:58You deny, and you deflect, and you act so fucking innocent!
00:22:01Fine.
00:22:02I'll find out myself.
00:22:03What are you doing?
00:22:05This is my apartment!
00:22:06Get out!
00:22:07Didn't want a place for you, huh?
00:22:10It was that easy to win you over.
00:22:12No wonder you're in such a rush to divorce me.
00:22:15Look at you.
00:22:16Cheating.
00:22:17Hurting Ruth.
00:22:18That poor fucking baby.
00:22:20I don't even want to think about all the ways that you fucked me over over the last three
00:22:24years.
00:22:25Where were you, Richard?
00:22:27The last three years when I was working myself to the bone for you and your family while
00:22:32they treated me like trash.
00:22:34And now you're accusing me of cheating?
00:22:39What about Ruth?
00:22:40Ruth is my sister-in-law.
00:22:42My dead brother's wife.
00:22:44How dare you even insinuate something like that.
00:22:47There's nothing between us.
00:22:48Don't project your infidelity onto me.
00:22:51If there's nothing going on between the two of you, why didn't you ever tell me she
00:22:58was your first love?
00:22:59Why did you save her first at the pool when we both fell in?
00:23:03I couldn't swim.
00:23:04And you knew that, Richard.
00:23:05I couldn't hide that day.
00:23:06I'm your wife.
00:23:07Stop.
00:23:08Stop.
00:23:09You need excuses.
00:23:10To leave me for another man.
00:23:11It's not happening.
00:23:12You will never get a divorce.
00:23:13You're a fucking baby killer.
00:23:14You will atone.
00:23:15I swear to god, Richard.
00:23:16I never hurt you or anyone else.
00:23:18Can Ruth say the same thing?
00:23:20You really mean that?
00:23:21Ring ring.
00:23:22Come home, Richard.
00:23:23Ruth's in trouble.
00:23:24What happened?
00:23:25What happened?
00:23:26Richard, my stomach.
00:23:27It hurt.
00:23:28It hurt.
00:23:29It hurt.
00:23:30It hurt.
00:23:31I need you.
00:23:32I'm scared.
00:23:33Stay right there.
00:23:34I'm on my way.
00:23:35I'm scared.
00:23:36Stay right there.
00:23:37I'm on my way.
00:23:38What happened?
00:23:39They're just fate.
00:23:41Wait, you're the only person who can help out the sound.
00:23:50La crux was their 1977 dude.
00:23:53Okay.
00:23:54I don't know who's been missing.
00:23:55I was like her, alright?
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:57Richard, my stomach...
00:23:58it hurts.
00:23:59I need you.
00:24:00I'm scared.
00:24:01Stay right there.
00:24:02I'm on my way.
00:24:04This is all your fault.
00:24:06Ruth is on pain again.
00:24:08I swear to God, if anything happens to her, oh my God.
00:24:25Hey, pumpkin, when are you coming home?
00:24:29We can't wait to tell everyone our little girl is back.
00:24:32Yeah, I'll be home soon.
00:24:36I just have one last thing to do.
00:24:38I just need a signature, then I'll finally be free from him.
00:24:47Thankfully, he's easy to find.
00:24:50Wherever Ruth is, he's sure to follow.
00:24:59Hi, everyone.
00:25:00I'm Ruth's manager.
00:25:02Thank you so much for your support.
00:25:04She loves y'all so much.
00:25:07Oh my God, is she okay?
00:25:08We're really worried.
00:25:09Is there anything that we can do to help her?
00:25:12Well, um, I don't...
00:25:15Actually, do you see that woman over there?
00:25:22She's the one who pushed Ruth in a pool.
00:25:25You can't let her get close to Ruth.
00:25:27Maybe you can help keep her safe.
00:25:29Don't worry.
00:25:30We'll protect Ruth.
00:25:32Come on.
00:25:32She can't get away with this.
00:25:39What the hell are you doing?
00:25:41You cold-hearted cut!
00:25:42How the fuck could you shove our Ruth into the pool like that?
00:25:46Murderer, showing your face here?
00:25:47You better step back, or we're gonna rip you apart piece by fucking piece.
00:25:51I didn't do anything.
00:25:52Let go of me!
00:25:53Deny it all you want.
00:25:55Every filthy rag has you nailed to the front page.
00:25:58Brain of the killer, you truly are!
00:26:00Do you guys just believe everything the media tells you?
00:26:02You nearly killed Ruth!
00:26:03You don't even deserve to breathe!
00:26:05Go to hell, or I'll take you with me!
00:26:07She just shoves me!
00:26:10This psycho attacks people who love Ruth!
00:26:14Well, make sure that you never show your face again.
00:26:16What are you doing here?
00:26:46Oh no, did you fall?
00:26:48You poor thing!
00:26:58Come on, let's go, Ruth.
00:27:00This monster doesn't deserve your kindness.
00:27:03Come here, let me take you back in.
00:27:05Everyone makes mistakes, Zoe.
00:27:07I don't hold it against her.
00:27:09Oh my gosh, she's such an angel.
00:27:12Ha!
00:27:13Ha!
00:27:14Yeah.
00:27:15What's so funny?
00:27:16You know exactly how you ended up in that pool.
00:27:18You must think you're hilarious.
00:27:20Everyone's just fooled by your little performance.
00:27:28What are you talking about?
00:27:36Look, honey, you're not making any sense.
00:27:39Guys, let's go.
00:27:40We had enough.
00:27:41We're done here.
00:27:41Don't worry, Ruth.
00:27:42We'll make sure this psycho never hurts you again.
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:45Ruth is just sparing you.
00:27:46It was up to us.
00:27:47You wouldn't be so lucky.
00:27:48I checked every inch of that swimming pool area.
00:27:59No cameras and, of course, no proof.
00:28:03It's over, Michelle.
00:28:04But you know Blair pushed you.
00:28:06I was just trying to help.
00:28:08Why are you trying to pin this on me?
00:28:10You still don't get it, do you?
00:28:13Blair is America's sweetheart.
00:28:15The Gallop princess.
00:28:17Do you really think I'd cross her?
00:28:19I have a career to protect.
00:28:21You, on the other hand, are a nobody.
00:28:24Anyway, I'm here for Richard.
00:28:26Where is he?
00:28:27Still hoping he'll take you back?
00:28:29A housewife like you?
00:28:31Relax.
00:28:32I don't want him.
00:28:34What I see is that you're dragging your sorry ass all the way here just to get your man back.
00:28:40You're just a backup.
00:28:41Face it.
00:28:43He loves me.
00:28:44I'm just a backup?
00:28:45What the hell does that make you, then?
00:28:48His grieving widow sister-in-law?
00:28:51He'll never marry you.
00:28:53Not unless he wants some super scandal for the Gallos.
00:28:57Shut up!
00:28:59You killed the Gallo family heir.
00:29:02You have no right to mock me.
00:29:05Now you remember that you were pregnant?
00:29:07That's funny because you only seem to care when other people are around.
00:29:11Was this your plan the whole time?
00:29:13So what?
00:29:14That baby was a burden.
00:29:16Miscaring was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me.
00:29:20Now the whole Gallo family stripping over themselves to help me.
00:29:24Especially Richard.
00:29:25With his help, I'll be the biggest name of Hollywood in no time.
00:29:31You're sick.
00:29:32You're like actually sick.
00:29:35Whatever.
00:29:35I just need to find Richard.
00:29:39Still not giving up, are you?
00:29:40What are you doing?
00:29:46What are you doing?
00:29:46Ah!
00:29:48Ah!
00:29:50Richard!
00:29:52She's trying to hurt me again!
00:29:55Stay away from her!
00:29:58Oh God!
00:29:59You're here!
00:30:00I was so scared!
00:30:02Michelle, you already took my baby!
00:30:04Why can't you just leave me alone?
00:30:06Still running the same tired act, huh?
00:30:09Do you ever take a day off?
00:30:11Would you just stop?
00:30:13You've already done unimaginable harm to her.
00:30:16What else do you want from her?
00:30:19Really Richard?
00:30:21She's not even hurt.
00:30:22I'm bleeding.
00:30:23Are you blind?
00:30:24I saw it myself, Michelle.
00:30:33You pushed her.
00:30:35This is a hospital.
00:30:36There's cameras everywhere.
00:30:38Should we ask for the security footage?
00:30:40I'm sure the cameras got everything.
00:30:42Richard, I'm feeling lightheaded.
00:30:45I need a doctor!
00:30:47Now!
00:30:47Now!
00:30:50What are you clapping for?
00:30:53You.
00:30:54Isn't that what you want?
00:30:55Applause?
00:30:56Michelle.
00:30:58You're taking this too far.
00:30:59I'm taking it too far?
00:31:01She pushed me into a pool, lied about it,
00:31:04and now she's pretending to be in pain.
00:31:06God, Richard, you know?
00:31:08The way you treat her,
00:31:10anyone would think she's your wife, not me.
00:31:12Shut your mouth.
00:31:15Ruth is my brother's widow.
00:31:17Can you have some respect?
00:31:18And you're the one who's been sneaking around
00:31:22with some random guy for God knows how long.
00:31:25You think everyone's as dirty as you, huh?
00:31:29Well, you know what?
00:31:31I came here to give you divorce papers.
00:31:40So you keep telling me
00:31:41that you're not planning to run off with some guy,
00:31:44but you already have divorce papers?
00:31:47How convenient.
00:31:48Guess what?
00:31:56I'm not going to let you win.
00:31:58I'm not trying to win.
00:32:00If anything, I'm just
00:32:01helping you with your little awkward love triangle.
00:32:05You should be grateful.
00:32:06Now you don't have to choose between two women.
00:32:09And you know,
00:32:10if there's nothing going on between the two of you,
00:32:14why do you look so nervous?
00:32:19Richard, how could she say that about us?
00:32:22You know there's nothing going on between us, right?
00:32:24Do you even hear yourself, Michelle?
00:32:26You sound crazy.
00:32:28I was crazy.
00:32:30Crazy to fall for a guy like you who's heartless
00:32:32and whose family treated me like dirt for years.
00:32:36I'm done.
00:32:37You think you can just walk away that easy?
00:32:42Marry me when it suits you
00:32:44and leave when it doesn't?
00:32:45You made a commitment to me.
00:32:47I put a roof over your head.
00:32:49I put food on your table.
00:32:50I gave you everything you ever wanted.
00:32:52If you want to divorce me,
00:32:55you will spend the rest of your life paying me back.
00:32:57Good job.
00:33:01I cleaned for you,
00:33:03cooked for you every single day for years.
00:33:05I took care of you like you were made of glass.
00:33:12Hey, you're home.
00:33:14I made dinner.
00:33:14Are you hungry?
00:33:15It took two hours.
00:33:18What happened?
00:33:19It's nothing.
00:33:20Just a little accident.
00:33:22You were always working late,
00:33:25stomach acting up.
00:33:27I never wanted to bother Grandpa,
00:33:29so I stayed up night after night
00:33:30taking care of you.
00:33:37Oh, my God.
00:33:38It's so late.
00:33:40Oh, my God.
00:33:41I've been your full-time
00:33:58in-house housekeeper
00:34:00for three years.
00:34:02And according to the Los Angeles going rate,
00:34:06my calculations say
00:34:07that you owe me
00:34:10$75,000.
00:34:13Now,
00:34:14I knew you'd tear the first one up.
00:34:21Sign the papers.
00:34:23I'm done with you.
00:34:28Richard Gallo,
00:34:30this is it.
00:34:31Don't ever look for me again.
00:34:36She's ridiculous.
00:34:38You gave her everything.
00:34:39Such an ungrateful girl.
00:34:42Let her be.
00:34:43She lived like royalty
00:34:44for three years.
00:34:46Sooner or later,
00:34:47she'll come begging me
00:34:48to take her back.
00:34:56Welcome back, Miss Barclay.
00:34:59Miss Barclays,
00:35:01your parents are inside.
00:35:02They are very delighted
00:35:02to have you home.
00:35:09Miss Barclays,
00:35:21and I'll come back.
00:35:23Welcome back, Miss Barclay.
00:35:25Don't give her a рубa.
00:35:25Notify Mr. and Mrs. Barclay
00:35:27their daughter's home.
00:35:28But Mr. Barclay is in the meeting
00:35:30with the head of the studio.
00:35:32Nothing matters more than my daughter.
00:35:37Dad! Mom!
00:35:39Sweetheart, you're home!
00:35:40Thank you so much.
00:35:41Oh, you're beautiful.
00:35:44Oh, thank you, Dad.
00:35:46I miss you guys so much.
00:35:47She's our girl.
00:35:48Noah, you're here too?
00:35:50I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
00:35:52Miss Barclays made your favorite brownies.
00:35:58Oh, you're her.
00:36:02If that gallo boy lay a hand on you, I swear I'll kill him.
00:36:05No, don't.
00:36:07Him and I are done.
00:36:09Dad, I just fell. It's nothing.
00:36:11Besides, me and Richard are done for good.
00:36:17So, what's your next move, kid?
00:36:20You know, Dad,
00:36:22I realized I wasted three years
00:36:26putting my dreams aside for a man who didn't even deserve me.
00:36:32I'm ready to pick it back up.
00:36:34Chase my dreams again.
00:36:36It's what Grandma would want.
00:36:38That's my girl.
00:36:39You know, your grandma would be proud.
00:36:41She was the first woman to ever snag an Oscar for her directing.
00:36:44It's a shame the masterpiece of that print got lost,
00:36:47but she left you something special.
00:36:50Dad, is this what I think it is?
00:36:59Grandma's bracelet.
00:37:03We kept it safe all these years exactly as she wished before she passed.
00:37:07But it's yours.
00:37:09It's your legacy.
00:37:11Carry it with you.
00:37:12She's watching.
00:37:13Blessing you from above.
00:37:19Your grandfather was the one who encouraged me to pursue my passion for film.
00:37:24And you know, this bracelet represents a wish that I made for you.
00:37:29To find someone who will always encourage your passions
00:37:33and who will always treat you well.
00:37:40Oh, Grandma, will my heart ever be at peace.
00:37:44So, what's your next move?
00:37:47I put my dream project aside for three years.
00:37:54Gonna see it through.
00:37:57For Grandma.
00:38:00So, what do you need?
00:38:01A private gala.
00:38:04To attract investors.
00:38:06Say no more.
00:38:08We'll take care of it.
00:38:15So, Noah.
00:38:16You're a famous actor.
00:38:19Why don't you arrange the guest list for the rights auction?
00:38:24I'm on it.
00:38:25Okay.
00:38:26It'll be perfect.
00:38:34What do you mean?
00:38:35Barclays Sovereign Bank cut us off.
00:38:37How the hell does this happen?
00:38:38Entirely.
00:38:39We're not entirely sure, sir.
00:38:40They just said you upset the wrong people.
00:38:42The wrong people?
00:38:43What does that even mean?
00:38:46Just keep digging.
00:38:48If this leaks out, we're wrecked in the market.
00:38:55Um...
00:38:57Mr. Quinn.
00:38:59Sorry about this whole, um...
00:39:01mix-up.
00:39:02Don't be, Mr. Gallo.
00:39:03You've been a rock solid partner for Barclays Sovereign for years.
00:39:08They're the biggest financial name in the game.
00:39:10Gallo Enterprises has thrived ever since teaming up with them.
00:39:15Honestly, the whole termination cooperation thing, I feel has been a big mistake.
00:39:21Anyway, that's why I'm here.
00:39:23To offer you a proposal.
00:39:24I'm listening.
00:39:25I know they've backed you in the past, but you're the one who built that empire.
00:39:31And it would be an honor, an absolute honor, for me to team up with you now.
00:39:36I suppose you're talking about, uh, the industry's cash cow? The Long Night?
00:39:41The Long Night.
00:39:42The Long Night wasn't just a film.
00:39:45It was an absolute phenomenon.
00:39:48A billion dollar phenomenon.
00:39:50Investors are begging to get in on this one.
00:39:54Even I had to crawl my way in to get an associate producer title.
00:39:57And with Word of M's comeback,
00:40:00Hollywood is lighting the fuck up.
00:40:03If we, well, if you and I get in on this early, it could be a total game changer.
00:40:12The press will back off.
00:40:15Right?
00:40:16Your name will be all over the headlines.
00:40:19In the industry, get this, the industry will be fucking worshiping you.
00:40:24And when that happens, you will be in prime position to crush Barkley.
00:40:28I love it.
00:40:33Put together the investor agreement.
00:40:34Sounds good.
00:40:36Let's make some fucking money!
00:40:42Guess we found our solution.
00:40:51Ah!
00:40:52Miss Hut!
00:40:54What brings you here?
00:40:55No time, no see, sweetheart.
00:40:56Mr. Quinn, I hear The Long Night is getting traction.
00:41:01And I'm very interested in the leading role.
00:41:06Why not just ask your brother-in-law?
00:41:08You are a gallo, aren't you?
00:41:10Be like a walk in the park, fam.
00:41:12Please.
00:41:14Sebastian.
00:41:16He is clueless about how this business runs.
00:41:19You, on the other hand, know the game inside out.
00:41:24And I...
00:41:27Play to win.
00:41:36You really know what you're doing, kid.
00:41:38Gotta say.
00:41:39That was phenomenal.
00:41:40You've got some guts, Ruthie.
00:41:51But remember, this is Em we're talking about.
00:41:55She's not just a director.
00:41:57She's a global fucking icon.
00:42:00This movie is gonna shatter records.
00:42:03I had to call in every favor just to be an executive producer title.
00:42:09Oh, come on, Seb.
00:42:11Just mention my name to your friends at the distribution gala.
00:42:14We'll climb that ladder all the way to the top.
00:42:19Sure thing, gorgeous.
00:42:21I'll see what I can do.
00:42:26Gross pig.
00:42:27If it wasn't for that role, you would never be allowed to breathe my air.
00:42:31No idea if this Sam's a guy or a girl.
00:42:35But if they're half as easy as that fat slob, I'll have them wrapped around my finger in no time.
00:42:40This is crazy.
00:42:52For Psi-level crazy!
00:42:54Behave yourself.
00:42:55This isn't a prom.
00:42:57Relax.
00:42:59Guess who I found out's coming?
00:43:01Noah Hoffman.
00:43:03The Golden Globe actor is gonna be here tonight.
00:43:05I also heard some, like, God knows who banker is gonna show up.
00:43:10It's actually hilarious.
00:43:11People who just think they're anybody to show up to these things now.
00:43:15Shut up.
00:43:17You know, the Barclay family is the backbone of global finance.
00:43:20In fact, their CEO is donating 200 million to The Long Night.
00:43:25Just because the director M is attached to it.
00:43:29200 million?
00:43:30Yeah.
00:43:31Oh my God, Ruth.
00:43:32If you, like, book that, you're, like, set for life.
00:43:33Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:43:35You're being too modest.
00:43:36You're shining brighter than the chandeliers.
00:43:39Well, you know, looks fade till it lasts.
00:43:43Mom!
00:43:44Chill!
00:43:48Has she called?
00:43:49No, sir.
00:43:50And I found this in the trash.
00:43:55She threw it out?
00:43:57I'm afraid so.
00:44:00Rich!
00:44:01Is that for me?
00:44:09You shouldn't have.
00:44:11Well, wait.
00:44:12That was supposed to be for Michelle.
00:44:15It is so beautiful.
00:44:20Sure.
00:44:22Keep it.
00:44:23Ruth, my brother's spoiling you.
00:44:25Michelle.
00:44:38You look, um...
00:44:40Wow.
00:44:42It's time to show the world who Emma is.
00:44:45I hope they're ready.
00:44:46Mr. Barclays.
00:44:47Nice suit.
00:44:48Just trying not to outshine my daughter.
00:44:57Nervous?
00:44:59Always.
00:45:01Well, that's what I'm here for.
00:45:03Um, excuse me, I need to make a call.
00:45:06Business.
00:45:07Michelle's here.
00:45:08Get everything prepared.
00:45:17Three years, and now the world will know.
00:45:21I've returned.
00:45:23Okay, but like, who cares if you don't know anything about the film or the character?
00:45:27Look, I know about Hollywood.
00:45:29And what they want is a star.
00:45:31And that is you.
00:45:33Yeah.
00:45:35You're right.
00:45:37Emma's gonna have to worry, though, about you stealing the spotlight.
00:45:39What?
00:45:51What?
00:46:09Who is that? Looks like she walks right out of a Vogue cover.
00:46:14That bracelet is Van Cleef. 50 grand, easy.
00:46:21Michelle! What the hell are you doing here?
00:46:26Why am I not surprised? Who let people like you in?
00:46:30This is a film industry gala, okay? It's not some kitchen.
00:46:34What are you here for? Free champagne?
00:46:36LV Couture, Van Cleef diamonds, who is paying for all of this?
00:46:41Well, that necklace is definitely a fake. 20 bucks, tops.
00:46:46Unlike Ruth's, it's actually handpicked by my brother.
00:46:49Okay. I was wondering where my trash went.
00:46:53You know, you always did like my hand-me-downs, Ruth. Jewelry, men.
00:46:58What else?
00:46:59Oh, you bitch!
00:47:01Don't even waste your breath, Ruth. She just slithered in here with some old guy.
00:47:05Who was that?
00:47:07Was that your sugar daddy?
00:47:12You know, Blair, nothing nice ever did come out of your mouth.
00:47:15You're not getting away this time, Michelle.
00:47:17Excuse me, everybody. This woman? Yeah, she pushed my sister-in-law into a pool, causing her to have a miscarriage. Yeah.
00:47:29And now she comes in here acting like she frickin' owns the place when actually she's just here with her sugar daddy.
00:47:36Blair, I think you're confusing gossip with power. Maybe I should remind you what real power looks like.
00:47:42Oh! You know, it is really concerning, Michelle, to see how far you've fallen.
00:47:48She left you something special.
00:47:58You like my bracelet? Your grandfather gave it to me when we were falling in love.
00:48:07Someday it'll be yours.
00:48:09My wish for you is that you find someone who loves you as much as your grandfather loved me.
00:48:20Grandma, I didn't protect the bracelet.
00:48:24Oh, my God.
00:48:26Well, you deserve it.
00:48:28She didn't mean it.
00:48:31Here.
00:48:33Two hundred bucks should cover it.
00:48:35It's just a bracelet. Get over it.
00:48:43It is not just a bracelet!
00:48:45Alright, you broke it. Are you happy?
00:48:48Let's go. We have more important business to attend to.
00:48:51I'm trying.
00:48:54There's a hundred grand on this card. Take it and please go.
00:48:58Em's event is more important than your little bracelet.
00:49:00A hundred grand? Why are you spoiling her?
00:49:03You think money can fix everything?
00:49:07Okay. What do you want? Name your price.
00:49:10Fine.
00:49:12Eighty million.
00:49:16Come on.
00:49:18What are you saying? Come on. Be serious.
00:49:20Eighty million? For a fake bracelet?
00:49:23They're imperial emeralds.
00:49:25Have it appraised.
00:49:27She's lying, right?
00:49:29She probably got it from her sugar daddy.
00:49:32So that's the old man you were with?
00:49:34You cheating on me? You like old men now?
00:49:36You have lied about me and I let it slide.
00:49:39But this, this is too far.
00:49:43What the hell are you doing now?
00:49:45I'm calling the police.
00:49:46It's on camera.
00:49:47I have witnesses.
00:49:48She destroyed the bracelet.
00:49:49I'm pressing charges.
00:49:50Oh no, you're not.
00:49:51Guards!
00:49:53You touched me.
00:49:54Get off of me.
00:49:55Give me the phone.
00:49:56No!
00:50:00Drop it!
00:50:01Get away from her!
00:50:09I'll be back.
00:50:10Okay.
00:50:11I'll be back.
00:50:12I'll be back.
00:50:13I'll be back.
00:50:14I'll be back.
00:50:15I'll be back.
00:50:16I'll be back.
00:50:17I'll be back.
00:50:18I'll be back.
00:50:19Mr. Barkley, Mr. Hoffman, I can explain.
00:50:21This lady insulted the gallows and then she threatened me.
00:50:26Really?
00:50:27What did she say?
00:50:28She said she was gonna have me removed from this party.
00:50:31Me?
00:50:32Can you fucking believe that?
00:50:34Yeah, uh, yeah, I actually can. You can leave now.
00:50:40What?
00:50:41Ha ha ha. I know you're joking around.
00:50:43Please, sir, get me in touch with M. I have their lead actress.
00:50:48So let me get this straight.
00:50:49You want to rig the audition and challenge M's authority.
00:50:53I don't think that's how an assistant producer is supposed to act.
00:50:56You can get the hell out of here.
00:50:58Security.
00:51:00The fuck?
00:51:01Why are they defending her? Who the hell is Michelle?
00:51:09Mr. Hoffman, I'm a really big fan, but I just wanted to let you know that Ruth has nothing to do with that guy Sebastian's actions.
00:51:16So just, you know, don't blame her, okay?
00:51:19You need to mind your own business, young lady.
00:51:23The bracelet?
00:51:25The one you smashed?
00:51:27Worth millions.
00:51:30No, there's no way.
00:51:31You, uh, think I'm a liar?
00:51:34No, I, I just, I don't think that she would wear jewelry like that.
00:51:40So what'd she have to do?
00:51:41Sleep with you? Seduce you? Oh my god, she's such a slut.
00:51:45You think you can destroy my family's name by sleeping your way up into it?
00:51:48That's enough!
00:51:48Three years married, and you didn't know who you were sleeping with?
00:51:54Let me give you a hint.
00:51:56Only one woman deserves that bracelet, and she doesn't need an invitation to this gala.
00:52:01This is all for her.
00:52:03The woman you so carelessly dismissed is...
00:52:06No symptoms.
00:52:20I really owe you, Ruth.
00:52:22And if you didn't pretend to faint, I would've been in jail right now.
00:52:26You're my family. Of course I'll protect you.
00:52:32You're my family. Of course I'll protect you.
00:52:40So this was all an act? What a performance.
00:52:43Don't be mad at Ruth, okay? She was just trying to protect me.
00:52:46This is all Michelle's fault. She's trying to ruin our family.
00:52:49Can't you see that?
00:52:50Sir!
00:52:51Officer's at the gate!
00:52:53Miss Gallow is being summoned for questioning.
00:52:55Under suspicion of f***ing theft and property damage.
00:52:58Michelle! I should've bashed her f***ing face in when I had the chance!
00:53:02You hit her?
00:53:04No. She hit me, remember?
00:53:07Stop!
00:53:08I talked to the guests, and they saw everything.
00:53:11You and Ruth insulted her first, and you, Blair, raised your hand first.
00:53:15Michelle was only defending herself.
00:53:18Why are you always on her side, Mom?
00:53:20That is enough out of you.
00:53:22You've gotten way too arrogant.
00:53:23You're spoiled, and you're reckless.
00:53:25And you, Ruth.
00:53:26Ruth, I thought you were a kind person.
00:53:29Now I know you're the one behind all this.
00:53:32How many times have you bullied Michelle when I'm not home?
00:53:35Oh, and you think you're any better?
00:53:37Newsflash, brother! I was just doing what you were.
00:53:45My brother is coming, and that baby is all we have left of him.
00:53:49Anything happen to that baby, I swear to God, you will pay for it.
00:53:53Tell me, what does he have that I don't have?
00:53:55You're hurting me!
00:53:56Answer the question.
00:53:57Look at you.
00:53:58She's hurting Ruth.
00:54:00Poor fucking baby.
00:54:01Get up now!
00:54:02There's a hundred grand on this card.
00:54:04Take it, and please go.
00:54:06M's event is more important than your little bracelet.
00:54:09This is all you ever do.
00:54:10Deny and deflect and act so fucking innocent.
00:54:12She's right.
00:54:19I wasn't good to her.
00:54:21This is your final warning.
00:54:23Stay away from her!
00:54:24Sir, it's not quite the Emerald Heirloom, but it's priceless as well.
00:54:44You just gave up 5% of your shares for it.
00:54:47Are you sure?
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49Blair did break her bracelet.
00:54:51It's the least I could do.
00:54:53Looks good.
00:54:54Richard!
00:54:55What?
00:54:56What is it?
00:54:56I'm busy.
00:54:56You're going to see Michelle, right?
00:54:58Well, you need to see this.
00:55:00It's trending on the internet right now.
00:55:02People are saying that she's Barclay's mistress.
00:55:05She sold herself for power.
00:55:06She never even got that spot at the Long Night Gala.
00:55:09She just slept her way there.
00:55:10I don't even know why a man like that would sleep with a housewife like her.
00:55:15Should I still arrange the delivery to Mrs. Gallo?
00:55:19No!
00:55:21And stop calling her that!
00:55:31Zoe?
00:55:32It worked.
00:55:34Keep it trending.
00:55:35Make sure it reaches Mrs. Barkley.
00:55:36When she sees it, Michelle is finally finished.
00:55:43To Noah Hoffman, the man who brought us back together.
00:55:47Cheers!
00:55:47Cheers!
00:55:49Oh my god.
00:55:51That's Noah Hoffman.
00:55:53We love your works.
00:55:55Can we buy you a drink?
00:55:58Thank you, but it's a friend's dime.
00:56:00Oh!
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:01Sorry.
00:56:02Wow, two beauties run into you and you don't bite?
00:56:07Damn.
00:56:12Well, I'm just not into that.
00:56:14Oh, well then, uh, who are you into?
00:56:23Um, someone I'm not supposed to be.
00:56:26Our turn, Michelle.
00:56:31Okay, guys.
00:56:32Focus.
00:56:32We have to beat the other group's time.
00:56:34Said like a true producer.
00:56:49Tick-tock, Em.
00:56:49We got an ice king and queen!
00:57:16Oh my god, Michelle, are you blushing?
00:57:20If anyone deserves the greatest director alive, it's Noah.
00:57:25Guys, can you not joke like that?
00:57:28A divorce is in, it's not even finalized.
00:57:32We're just friends.
00:57:36She's still healing from Richard.
00:57:39I can't scare her off.
00:57:42Open your nose.
00:57:43Wait, what?
00:57:46Huh?
00:57:48Not bad.
00:57:59Not bad.
00:58:05What the hell was that?
00:58:07No gossip, no girlfriend.
00:58:09He's not into women.
00:58:10Yeah, I've known him for years.
00:58:14I didn't know he wasn't either.
00:58:23If I have to pretend I'm off the table to keep you safe,
00:58:26then so be it.
00:58:30Oh, I'm doomed.
00:58:33Nothing is going to top kissing Noah Hoffman.
00:58:35Why you?
00:58:37He didn't even glance at me.
00:58:39I mean, if he's gay, why not me?
00:58:42Why not me?
00:58:47Oh my god, you're so drunk.
00:58:48Where's your key?
00:58:50I have it.
00:58:51I have it.
00:58:54Tired of the Silver Fox already?
00:58:57Moved on to boy toys?
00:58:59Richard, what are you doing here?
00:59:02No, I'm so tired of you acting so fucking innocent all the time.
00:59:06I caught you red-handed.
00:59:08Care to explain yourself?
00:59:09She was my brother's wife.
00:59:19She was pregnant.
00:59:20What was I supposed to do?
00:59:21Let her drown?
00:59:22Did she tell you she can't swim?
00:59:24Because you left your wife drowning.
00:59:25You expect me to understand that?
00:59:27So your solution is to get a divorce?
00:59:30Why don't you tell me why you really want one?
00:59:32Is it Noah?
00:59:33Barclay?
00:59:34Fucking Marco?
00:59:36You don't own me.
00:59:38As long as I'm still your husband, I have a right to know.
00:59:43Well then listen very carefully.
00:59:46Because I want a divorce.
00:59:49Because I never touched another man.
00:59:51But I do want a divorce from you because I am done with you, your family, all of it.
00:59:56I gave you a good life.
00:59:59You know I did.
01:00:01And even after all of this, I still want you back.
01:00:05Just apologize and we can get back together.
01:00:08It could be a gal.
01:00:10I don't want your name.
01:00:13I don't want your prison.
01:00:17I want love, Richard.
01:00:19And that's something you can't give me.
01:00:25You're going to regret this, Michelle.
01:00:26Michelle.
01:00:27Michelle.
01:00:27Michelle.
01:00:27Michelle.
01:00:27Michelle.
01:00:28Michelle.
01:00:28Michelle.
01:00:29Michelle.
01:00:38Michelle.
01:00:47Richard.
01:00:49I just want you to.
01:00:51Not now.
01:00:51No, Ruth.
01:00:51Nice work, Zoe.
01:01:09Judging by Rich's mood, he thinks she's sleeping with Barclay.
01:01:13Keep the rumors going.
01:01:15I want Michelle buried.
01:01:21So...
01:01:21You're the one behind it all.
01:01:25Betty, I...
01:01:27I am ashamed to have a daughter-in-law like you.
01:01:30Richard!
01:01:35What is it? What's going on?
01:01:36You want to know who's been smearing Michelle this whole time?
01:01:40Ruth. Ruth and her manager are behind everything.
01:01:45Is that true?
01:01:46No, I wouldn't. It's not what you think it is.
01:01:49That was supposed to be for Michelle.
01:01:52And look where it ended up.
01:01:54Still innocent?
01:01:55I... I didn't know. It was...
01:01:58I heard everything.
01:02:00You plotted. You lied.
01:02:02You turned husband and wife against each other and now they're divorcing?
01:02:06Ruth, what on earth do you want?
01:02:08Money?
01:02:09Or Richard?
01:02:10Richard?
01:02:18Richard.
01:02:21Please.
01:02:22I know.
01:02:23I know it was all wrong.
01:02:25But trust me, I did it all for you.
01:02:27Michelle's been flirting around behind your back, embarrassing you and your family.
01:02:32I just wanted to divorce the settles so that the gals wouldn't look like fools.
01:02:37I see.
01:02:39You prefer Michelle.
01:02:40It's fine.
01:02:41I'll leave.
01:02:43I was never part of this family anyway.
01:02:50Sean asked you to take care of me and this is how you do it?
01:02:54Stop.
01:02:57You don't have to leave.
01:02:58Everything that's happened with Michelle, it's not entirely your fault.
01:03:02She asked for it the minute she decided to cheat on me.
01:03:05Richard, what is wrong with you?
01:03:10You're my guardian angel, Rich.
01:03:13You know, if a gal can land the lead in the long night, it would really help restore investor confidence.
01:03:21Sebastian did say they're holding auditions this week.
01:03:26I'll bring you by the studio.
01:03:28You're the best.
01:03:31Hopeless.
01:03:41Welcome, Miss Barclay.
01:03:46Dad, you...
01:03:48Bob Ken, I bought the whole building for the long night and I could buy the street too or the whole district.
01:03:56It's up to you.
01:04:03Dad, you what?
01:04:05And these cars, they're for you too, you know, just in case you need them.
01:04:09Personal security.
01:04:18Always on standby.
01:04:21It's a little too much.
01:04:22Too much?
01:04:24There's more!
01:04:25Come on.
01:04:26Stop.
01:04:38Dad, this is insane.
01:04:42How so?
01:04:44You're my only daughter.
01:04:45Spoiling you is my job.
01:04:47Yeah, let's just, like, tone it down a little bit, though.
01:04:52Pack all this up, please.
01:04:53Including the bodyguards.
01:04:55Dad, I'm making a film, not starting a gang.
01:04:59What?
01:05:00Dad.
01:05:03Look, I appreciate it, truly.
01:05:06But I can't have this kind of flashiness going on.
01:05:11I mean, it'll attract all the wrong attention, and I need to keep my identity under wraps.
01:05:17If you want to impress me, hand me a list of financiers.
01:05:23Already done.
01:05:25What?
01:05:28What?
01:05:31What the hell?
01:05:36Why is Gala winning prizes on the list?
01:05:41Apologies, Mr. Barkley, it must be a clerical error.
01:05:43I will remove the gallows immediately.
01:05:45No need.
01:05:47If they want to give us money, I mean, why should we stop them?
01:05:50It's the least he can do, honestly.
01:05:51He should pay me more than that.
01:05:52Honey, I'm a little confused.
01:05:55Why are you letting them stay so close to you?
01:05:57I mean, why should we stop them?
01:05:59It's the least he can do, honestly.
01:06:01He should pay me more than that.
01:06:02Honey, I'm a little confused.
01:06:05Why are you letting them stay so close to you?
01:06:09It's a small world, Dad.
01:06:11Besides, we're going to run into each other eventually anyway.
01:06:15Plus, I didn't do anything wrong, so I have nothing to hide.
01:06:18Wise as usual.
01:06:20All right, then.
01:06:22I'll leave them alone for now.
01:06:25You coming home for dinner?
01:06:27Mom's cooking.
01:06:28Wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:06:31With Rich coming in to petition for you, there is no doubt in my mind that you are going
01:06:46to get that roll, Ruth.
01:06:47I really appreciate it, Richard.
01:06:50Michelle?
01:06:51What's she doing here?
01:06:52Rich?
01:06:53What's wrong?
01:06:54Nothing.
01:06:55Nothing.
01:06:56I just thought I saw someone.
01:06:58God.
01:06:59I must be seeing things.
01:07:00Why can't I stop thinking about her?
01:07:02Mr. Gallo?
01:07:03Yes.
01:07:04Ready to discuss your investments?
01:07:08Of course.
01:07:23Mr. Gallo, thank you for supporting the Long Night.
01:07:41I'm Blake Govert, executive producer.
01:07:44Now, Ms. Hutton, what role were you applying for?
01:07:46Are you dumb?
01:07:48Look at her.
01:07:48She's obviously born to play the lead.
01:07:51Blair.
01:07:51Blair. Please excuse her.
01:07:55But yes, my career has thus far proven that I am well-suited to lead.
01:08:00Not to mention I have the backing of the Gallo family, an investor.
01:08:05Well, M insists that all lead roles be chosen through open auditions only.
01:08:09No exceptions.
01:08:11Status doesn't override talent.
01:08:13Well, M is so fucking uptight.
01:08:15Miss Gallo, M is one of the most distinguished directors in the entire world, so her authority
01:08:23isn't up for debate.
01:08:27All right.
01:08:27We're partners now, and I haven't even met M. That is not how I do business.
01:08:41I demand to meet M right now.
01:08:44Mr. Gallo, you've invested $5 million, sure.
01:09:01But the long night isn't in short supply of backers.
01:09:06Barclay Studios alone has invested $150 million.
01:09:10So, we don't need to cater to the demands of a single investor.
01:09:14I'll just audition then.
01:09:19I have the talent.
01:09:25I can't believe I'm meeting Ruth Hutton.
01:09:28You're so stunning.
01:09:30So sweet.
01:09:31If you were Noah Timmut, we'd be legendary.
01:09:36She's got it in the bag.
01:09:38Mr. Gover, do you want Ruth to do a chemistry read with Noah?
01:09:42Good idea.
01:09:44But we need to wait for M.
01:09:45She needs to be here for chemistry tests.
01:09:47Okay.
01:09:48Fly and miss M and Noah, please.
01:09:51And a Diet Coke.
01:09:52And a Diet Coke.
01:09:53Wait, M is coming today?
01:09:55Wait, what?
01:09:56We're actually going to meet M.
01:09:57Oh, my God.
01:10:02Is that M?
01:10:09Am I tweaking, or is that Michelle?
01:10:12So, it was her earlier, but why is she here?
01:10:19I hear that Ruth has fans, but zero skills.
01:10:23I'll be curious to see just how bad her acting is today.
01:10:26Let's find out.
01:10:27Well, well, well.
01:10:29Look who it is.
01:10:30You really just can't stay away, can you?
01:10:32Do you even know where you are right now?
01:10:34We're at an audition for M's new movie, The Long Night.
01:10:38Get lost, stalker.
01:10:39You know, I admire people that are as stupid as you are, darling.
01:10:43You just say whatever, and you don't even think about the consequences.
01:10:47Do you have any idea who's set you're on?
01:10:55Mind your own business, sweetheart.
01:10:57This is a family matter.
01:10:59If you don't leave right now, I will humiliate you in front of the world's biggest director.
01:11:03I'd love to see you try, Blair.
01:11:07I know you're here to ruin Ruth's audition, and if she doesn't get that part, you're going to regret it.
01:11:12That's enough.
01:11:14Blair, I don't know why you're here, but you're disrupting Ruth's audition.
01:11:19So please, go.
01:11:21And if I don't?
01:11:23Oh, please.
01:11:24Tell me, are you here to audition, too?
01:11:26That's actually hilarious.
01:11:27She isn't here to act.
01:11:30She's here.
01:11:30Okay, good.
01:11:32Good, because long nights for real actors only.
01:11:36Don't be so delusional.
01:11:39You know, I wasn't here to audition, but now that you mention it, acting does kind of sound fun.
01:11:49What?
01:11:50Are you insane?
01:11:50Michelle, did I just hear that you're auditioning?
01:11:59Have you ever acted before?
01:12:02Nope.
01:12:03Is it hard?
01:12:05Michelle, this is Ruth's moment.
01:12:07Don't underestimate her.
01:12:09Save yourself the embarrassment and just go.
01:12:12Oh, I'm not underestimating her.
01:12:14She may not act well on camera, but her performances off camera are spectacular.
01:12:24What's that supposed to mean?
01:12:26Whether or not I have acting experience, I have the right to audition.
01:12:30You always do this.
01:12:31You always have to go against me.
01:12:33Fine.
01:12:33I'll kick you out myself.
01:12:34Come on.
01:12:40Noah!
01:12:41An open call is for everyone.
01:12:43I mean, it's quite literally in the name.
01:12:45I mean, do I need to spell it out for you?
01:12:49I look forward to watching you fail.
01:13:06You know, it's not too late, Michelle.
01:13:09Maybe you should sit this one out.
01:13:13Thank you for your concern.
01:13:18You used to listen to me.
01:13:23Don't worry.
01:13:24She'll embarrass herself.
01:13:26Serves her right.
01:13:28All right.
01:13:28Miss Sutton goes first.
01:13:30Perfect.
01:13:31Where's Anne?
01:13:32Watching.
01:13:33Liam, I waited for three hours.
01:13:47Is there someone else?
01:13:49Oh, come on.
01:13:50I gave up everything for you!
01:13:54Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:13:57Michelle has never acted before.
01:13:58What if she's worse?
01:13:59You don't know her at all.
01:14:10Oh, no!
01:14:12I gave you a good life.
01:14:16I gave up everything for you.
01:14:21Took your family's scorn.
01:14:22I didn't care.
01:14:25I just wanted you.
01:14:34I know you're hurt.
01:14:36No, he doesn't change anything!
01:14:37Just give me another chance, please.
01:14:39What I thought was love.
01:14:50It was just a long night.
01:14:55I'm ready for the break of dawn.
01:14:59Please don't do this.
01:15:00I have chills.
01:15:15She studied theater in London.
01:15:17She thought that would make her a better director.
01:15:20Is that how you felt about me?
01:15:26Rich, I messed up.
01:15:27Michelle threw me off.
01:15:28Don't worry.
01:15:29She's going to regret it.
01:15:30Rich.
01:15:33Yeah, sure.
01:15:34I'll handle it.
01:15:36That was intense.
01:15:38Yeah.
01:15:39Felt good to get it out, though.
01:15:41Yeah.
01:15:42That was really great.
01:15:43Thanks.
01:15:49She broke etiquette!
01:15:51She should be banned!
01:15:53Michelle, just admit,
01:15:55you are trying to marry up.
01:15:56Everyone saw who nailed it.
01:15:58Sit down.
01:15:59Sit down.
01:16:04I can't perform under these conditions!
01:16:07The audition's over.
01:16:09Okay?
01:16:09Just leave with whatever dignity you have left.
01:16:12Noah!
01:16:13She's bad luck!
01:16:14I suggest you leave.
01:16:16Now!
01:16:17Leave my sister alone.
01:16:19Noah, I've got this.
01:16:25Why are you ruining this for us?
01:16:26If she's good, she'll shine.
01:16:30But you sabotaged me.
01:16:32Whatever helps you sleep at night, honey.
01:16:35For my baby's sake, please help me stop her!
01:16:38As an investor, I demand that Michelle be banned from this project.
01:16:43You don't get to make casting decisions.
01:16:46Only Em does.
01:16:47Well, then I'll match Barclay's $150 million.
01:16:50You could offer a billion dollars, and it still wouldn't be your call.
01:16:59This is Em's film.
01:17:01You want your freedom?
01:17:02Take it.
01:17:03I'm walking away.
01:17:05Empty-handed.
01:17:06This is Ruth's career.
01:17:08She cares about it.
01:17:09Why are you competing with her?
01:17:11I'm not competing with her.
01:17:13She's all yours.
01:17:15What is wrong with you?
01:17:15You're sick.
01:17:16First, you kill her baby, my nephew, and now you're trying to steal her career and embarrass
01:17:21her, and I'm the bad guy.
01:17:24She's not yours anymore.
01:17:26Don't speak to her like that.
01:17:27Why don't you stay-
01:17:28Do you touch her?
01:17:30And Ruth doesn't stand a chance.
01:17:35Fuck this.
01:17:37I will invest $300 million in this project as long as Michelle is blacklisted.
01:17:44Anyone who hires her is my enemy.
01:17:48So, are you leaving on your own or with security?
01:17:52Security!
01:17:56Hello?
01:17:58Hello?
01:18:08At your service, miss.
01:18:10Miss?
01:18:11Miss?
01:18:14This studio belongs to her.
01:18:23Wait.
01:18:24The contract said Barclays Studios.
01:18:28Michelle.
01:18:30Surprise.
01:18:31You're on my turf now.
01:18:36Unfortunately, Mr. Gallo, you don't have the authority to kick me out.
01:18:39You could buy Barclays Studios, but your measly $300 million just isn't going to cut it.
01:18:46And from what I understand, you're pretty deep in debt right now.
01:18:52Please, take me to my car.
01:18:55I don't want to waste any more time on irrelevant people.
01:18:58This can't be real.
01:19:09What's her connection to the Barclays?
01:19:11You don't think she's an heiress, do you?
01:19:14If that's the case, we just made an enemy with Barclays Studio.
01:19:17No.
01:19:17There's no way that she's associated with Barclays Studios.
01:19:20I mean, come on.
01:19:21She'd be freaking famous.
01:19:22And no one could keep a secret like that.
01:19:24You're right.
01:19:25She must be faking it somehow.
01:19:27That contract, it can't be real.
01:19:29That bitch!
01:19:30She tried to scare us with a piece of paper.
01:19:32A true heiress would not act like a tramp.
01:19:43They're making me play a coma patient.
01:19:46That's Michelle.
01:19:47I mean, she has Noah and Scott wrapped around her fat little finger.
01:19:51She won't win.
01:19:52This time, I'll ruin her for good.
01:19:59Zoe, I need something discreet.
01:20:07Why can't I let you go?
01:20:13Her lawyer's deadline.
01:20:15Sign or face court.
01:20:18She's really going through with it.
01:20:22Go flirt.
01:20:24A rebound is healing.
01:20:28I'm going to need a few more drinks.
01:20:29You're not the cute guy.
01:20:46Noah?
01:20:47Cute guy?
01:20:49What, am I not cute?
01:20:50You're cute, but you're you.
01:20:53I can't kiss you.
01:20:55Well, that other guy's not you.
01:20:57Only you get me.
01:20:58You're drunk.
01:21:03I'm taking you home.
01:21:11Okay, big shot.
01:21:13You're welcome.
01:21:20Do you think I was crazy for giving him three years?
01:21:23No.
01:21:25You were brave.
01:21:26I wish it had been me.
01:21:29What?
01:21:31I mean...
01:21:32They can wait.
01:21:35Good.
01:21:37So good.
