00:02Eve, look at me. Your insomnia has crossed the line into physical dependence.
00:07If you take one more pill, your liver is going to fail before your next premiere.
00:11You don't need more chemicals. You need human connection. Real intimacy.
00:16Intimacy? I'm the woman whose husband cheated on her with a tiktokter.
00:20My divorce is still the chard one treading topic on social media.
00:26Love is a scam, Chloe.
00:30Just scratching an itch. That's all.
00:39Hello?
00:40Sir, just like you instructed, I've made the arrangements with the Amber production team.
00:47Well done.
00:53Eve! Director Sterling is losing it. We're at the final round of auditions for Amber.
00:58We need a lead man. Now.
01:01Let's go. I've got a movie to save.
01:07Eve.
01:08She looks like a ghost.
01:12I heard she's broke. She almost fainted on set.
01:15A washed up actress abandoned by her family investing her own fortune into this flop project? Of course she's under
01:21pressure.
01:24Eve, you have to see this kid. Julian. He's a nobody, but his soul? It's haunting.
01:29Don't be afraid.
01:31In the next life, I'll find you first. I promise.
01:36You need human connection. Real intimacy.
01:40Is he?
01:41I need a medicine. The one that can finally cure my insomnia.
01:45If the pills can't numb the pain, maybe a person can. I'm sure. I want him.
02:00Sir, I've got the intel. Her ex, Marcus, has teamed up with Starborn Ventures.
02:05He-Ray planning to short-sell Evelyn's entire whole world.
02:08They're trying to bankrupt her using her own passion project?
02:11Exactly.
02:12First, gather every piece of dirt on that parasite, Marcus.
02:15I don't just want him out of the industry. I want him erased.
02:17Second, clear the channels for a massive capital infraction into Amber.
02:21Under your name, sir?
02:22No. Anonymous.
02:23I want her to keep thinking I'm just her struggling actor. Her little secret.
02:38Get in.
02:42You're a great actor.
02:44But talent isn't enough in this town.
02:57Take off your jacket.
02:58What?
02:59I need a lie so real it can fill my empty house and help me sleep.
03:02Can you play that role, Julian?
03:04Or are you just a face?
03:07You got the part.
03:09Don't let me down.
03:12The night.
03:41Well, well, well. Look who's back. The fallen Queen of Hollywood.
03:45We're already divorced.
03:47What the hell are you doing in my house, Marcus?
03:50Taking what's mine.
03:51The title doesn't transfer until next week.
03:53As of right now, I'm still the master of this house.
03:56Take whatever you want.
03:57But that celivate vat in your hand, it was my mother's.
04:00If you walk out that door with it, my lawyers will have you in a cell before sunrise.
04:02You're still acting like you're on top of the world, huh?
04:04Our family has already cut you off.
04:06If Amber flops, you'll have nothing left.
04:07Marcus, you were nothing but a gold digger who built your career on my back.
04:11You think you can judge me?
04:11A washed up old woman.
04:12Just wait until you go bankrupt.
04:14Stop!
04:15Julian?
04:17I'd like to see who dares to touch her.
04:21Who the hell are you?
04:24Evelyn's new boy toy?
04:28Take whatever you want.
04:30Enjoy him while you can, Eve.
04:33This isn't over.
04:41Go to my room and wait for me.
04:44It's nothing.
04:53This should work.
05:19Amber.
05:21You know how to blend fragrances?
05:25I learned a bit from an old master while working at a theater years ago.
05:28He said Amber is the only thing that can truly soothe a restless soul.
05:31Are you always this nervous, Julian?
05:36I'm just afraid you won't like me, Eve.
05:39Come here. Dry my hair.
05:54Are you this submissive with everyone?
05:56Only for you.
05:58You really are a natural. I knew I picked the right actor.
06:12Look at me. Eyes up.
06:18Do you know why I brought you here tonight?
06:21Do you know your role?
06:23I know.
06:25Then what are you waiting for?
06:28Eve, is this okay?
06:55Amber, what time is it?
06:58You're awake. It's only 5am. Go back to sleep.
07:02You didn't sleep?
07:08I didn't want the dream to end.
07:11Marcus always used to turn his back and pass out, or just leave immediately.
07:15He never cared if I was breathing, let alone sleeping.
07:17Julian, have you done this before with anyone else?
07:23Never.
07:24You're the first, Eve.
07:26Why?
07:27A man like you.
07:29Because I've been waiting, for a very long time.
07:36You've had trouble sleeping for years, haven't you?
07:38Let me take care of you.
07:39I'll light the incense every night.
07:41I'll even give you a massage.
07:42An old therapist, he taught me how to release tension.
07:46Julian, stop.
07:47You don't have to try this hard to please me.
07:49I'm not trying to please a boss, Eve.
07:51I'm trying to take care of you.
08:00You really are a hell of an actor.
08:02How's the performance so far?
08:03You liking it?
08:05Like it?
08:06Marcus was a great actor too, until the mask slipped.
08:09I won't let my heart be moved again.
08:11Not by a pretty face.
08:16Ow, damn it.
08:19Eve.
08:21Are you okay?
08:22Did I go too far last night?
08:24You tell me.
08:27I'm so sorry.
08:29Should I get a hot wowel?
08:30Call a doctor?
08:32Just shut up and help me to the chair.
08:36Eve, you up?
08:38We have a massive problem.
08:41The board members at Starbound Ventures are at the studio.
08:44They've called an emergency meeting.
08:47What do they want now?
08:48They say Julian is a no-name liability.
08:51They're demanding we replace the lead man, or they're pulling the entire fund.
08:55Eve.
08:57I can't let my lack of fame ruin your dream.
09:00I should step down.
09:02Step down?
09:03Change your clothes.
09:05You're coming with me.
09:09Evelyn, we respect your artistic vision, but Amber is a multi-million dollar investment, not a charity project.
09:16Casting this, nobody, is career suicide.
09:22And your solution is?
09:23Simple.
09:24Drop the kid.
09:25Cast a bankable star.
09:26If you refuse, we're pulling our equity.
09:29We're out.
09:30My contract says I have final casting authority, period.
09:35And our clause says if the production takes unnecessary risks, we can cut our losses.
09:46Leo.
09:47Yes, Eve?
09:49Transfer 30 million for my personal trust.
09:51We're buying out Starbound's share.
09:53Now.
09:55And have legal draw up the termination papers.
09:58I'm done with these parasites.
10:03You're bankrupting yourself for a boy toy?
10:07It's my movie.
10:09My rules.
10:10Whether Julian can carry this film isn't your concern anymore.
10:20Get out of my building.
10:48Silas, is the capital ready?
10:50Yes, sir.
10:50We funneled it through an offshore anonymous donor account, disguised as a superfan's contribution.
10:55She won't suspect a thing.
10:57Keep it clean.
10:58No pressure on her.
11:00She needs to think she's in control.
11:03Understood, sir.
11:05If anyone else tries to take her power, burn them down.
11:10Eve, you just declared war on the biggest venture capital firm in the city.
11:13You need a backup plan.
11:14The only plan that matters is finishing Amber.
11:18Everything else is just noise.
11:23Eve.
11:26I'm so sorry.
11:28I keep causing you trouble and now I've cost you a fortune.
11:31Am I just useless to you?
11:33The moment I saw you, I knew.
11:35There is no Amber without you.
11:37You're the only one who can play this role.
11:38You're too good to me, Eve.
11:40Why are you so perfect?
11:43Julian.
11:44Easy.
11:45Someone might see.
11:49Julian.
11:51I...
11:56I...
11:58Eve...
12:00Can I thank you?
12:02Properly?
12:09you
12:14sweet
12:18I'll wait for you in the car Eve
12:42your heart was racing Eve I could hear it
12:55Eve everything okay

13:07I'm filming I don't have time for a family dinner Arthur cancel it Beatrice told me about your
13:14little scandal dragging our name through the mod with a messy divorce it's pathetic my life is

13:27come get you
13:34sometimes I actually envy you Julian envy me for
13:40what at least no one forces you to go back to a place you hate
13:55oh Eve
13:58your father and I saw the trending topic Marcus was terribly inconsiderate you must have suffered
14:04Save the act, Beatrice.
14:05She's trying to be kind.
14:07You divorced with even consulting the family.
14:09Now all of high society is laughing at the Grants.
14:12The Grants became a joke the day you moved your mistress into my mother's bedroom, father.
14:17Enough.
14:18One word from me, and I can have you back on top.
14:21But you have to crawl back and apologize.
14:25Apologize for what?
14:26For leaving a cheat?
14:28I owe you nothing.
14:30Without this family, you are nothing.
14:32You think you can make a comeback on your own?
14:35I can shut down your little movie with one single phone call.
14:39Amber was written by my mother on her meth bed.
14:42Word by word.
14:44Are you really going to destroy the last thing she left me?
14:48Just to break me?
14:51Either you come home and do as I say, or you watch your mother's legacy burn.
14:56Your choice.
14:59Fine.
15:08They don't want you, Eve.
15:10But I do.
15:11From now on, I am the only home you'll ever need.
15:22Eve and families like ours, interests come first.
15:25DeCurney is everything.
15:26That fairy tale love your mother wanted?
15:28I couldn't give it to her.
15:30Her tragedy wasn't me.
15:31It was her own obsession with a dream that doesn't exist.
15:34So it was her fault?
15:35Her love was a mistake?
15:37Her expectations were the mistake.
15:39Don't follow in her footsteps, Evelyn.
15:41Stop chasing ghosts and come back to reality.
15:50Was I wrong?
15:51Is it a crime to want something real?
15:54To keep what you left me?
16:09Julian?
16:11Why are you always here?
16:12I told you, Eve.
16:13As long as you need me, I'll be here.
16:15Need?
16:16Look at me.
16:17I'm just a drunk, a failure.
16:20Everyone's already turned their back on me.
16:22You don't have to keep acting.
16:23It's not an act.
16:27Mrs. Grant, you're so kind to personally attend our charity show every year.
16:32Children are just angels who lost their way home.
16:34I love it!
16:36Don't be...
16:53Here.
16:55It's sweet.
16:56It'll make the hurt go away.
16:59Set up a private scholarship in my daughter's name.
17:01Fund that boy's education and living expenses.
17:04Until he's a man.
17:05The taste of that candy.
17:07I've held on to it for 15 years.
17:10I've spent so long walking through the dark just to find my way back to you.
17:17It's my turn to catch you now, my queen.
17:30I don't feel good.
17:49Why?
17:51Why?
17:52Why are you doing this for me?
17:53Because I've waited seven years for this moment.
17:57Look at me, Eve.
17:58You don't have to be strong in front of me.
18:01Not anymore.
18:24Drink this.
18:25It'll help the stomach.
18:29Eve, I should wait for someone who will still treat you gently, even at you at your most embarrassing moments.
18:46Julian, my mother said you can't hide a heart that truly loves.
18:51So tell me, are you still acting?
18:55Eve.
18:57Eve, I am acting.
18:58I'm acting like a man worthy of you.
19:00I'm acting like someone who can make you feel safe.
19:04But my hunger for you, that's the only real thing I have left.
19:09For example, right now I want to kiss you.
19:13And that's not part of the script.
19:21Don't.
19:22Don't stop.
19:32Just for tonight.
19:35Let me believe this one is real.
19:50That's it?
19:51That's all you own?
19:52I don't need much.
19:54Most of my stuff is still at my old place.
19:56I didn't want to clutter up Eve's space.
20:00The guest room to the right of the master suite is yours.
20:03Thank you, Eve.
20:04I'll keep it spotless.
20:05I won't get in your way, I promise.
20:09Are you serious?
20:11You're letting him move in?
20:16I need him available at all times.
20:18I can't have him wasting hours commuting from some back alley.
20:22This is just...
20:24Practical.
20:31Morning.
20:34Three grams of JZOX seeds.
20:36No more.
20:38Eve's stomach is sensitive in the cold.
20:41What are you making?
20:47It's a soothing tea.
20:49I...
20:50I adjusted the formula with some dried tangerine peel to help with your circulation.
20:56Would you like a taste, Eve?
21:01It's actually good.
21:02Then I'll make it every day.
21:04You slept for five hours and 42 minutes last night, Eve.
21:07That's 16 minutes more than the night before.
21:09I didn't even keep track that closely.
21:11You don't have to do all this, Julian.
21:14But I want to.
21:16Every little detail of your life...
21:18I want to be a part of it.
21:22Try the new Osemonancus amber tonight, Eve.
21:24I added some sun-dried blossoms.
21:26He remembers every little thing.
21:29My scripts must be in perfect scene order.
21:32My tea must be exactly 150 degrees.
21:36I need total darkness and silence to sleep.
21:39Even the scent has to be different every single...
21:43Sleep well, Eve.
21:44I'm right next door.
21:45If you need anything, just call me.
21:47Good night, my queen.
21:51Julian, you're such a good actor.
21:53So good that I can't tell if my heart is racing because of your kindness.
21:57Because I'm starting to crave this warmth.
21:59Evelyn, get a grip.
22:00This is just a transaction.
22:01He provides the comfort.
22:03You provide the resources.
22:08Sir, the Grant family is making a move.
22:10Your father seems to have found the link between you and Evelyn.
22:13Also, Vanessa's flight has been rescheduled.
22:15Proceed as planned.
22:16Keep her on a short leash.
22:18Eve, you're finally sleeping through the night.
22:21It's my girl.
22:22You look so perfect when you're asleep, Eve.
22:25I could watch you like this forever.
22:33Cut.
22:34That's the one.
22:35Great intensity, Julian.
22:39Director, I don't know.
22:40I felt a bit stiff.
22:42Can we go again?
22:44On my end to help you?
22:46Practice makes perfect, rookie.
22:48Everyone agrees, right?
22:50That's the seventh time in this freezing weather.
22:53Sean's doing it on purpose.
23:04Keep dancing, you little lap dog.
23:07We all know how you got this part.
23:12Ow!
23:13Director, he's going off script.
23:15He's hurting me.
23:16Julian?
23:17Sorry.
23:18My hand slipped.
23:20It's the rain.
23:21Rookies.
23:22Can't even handle a little pressure.
23:25Maybe we should get you a stunt double?
23:26Sean's right.
23:29He'll never come my way.
23:33Never will say...
23:34Since you're so obsessed with perfection,
23:38warmies are Sean's scenes and McQueen's for rest of it.
23:41Director, pull all of Sean's scenes for the rest of the day.
23:45Since Mr. Sean is having such a hard time finding his character,
23:48he can go home and stay there until he figures it out.
23:51Not a word.
24:06What the hell was that look?
24:08Since when does a stray have eyes like a predator?
24:13Eve.
24:15This time,
24:16let me be the one to teach you.
24:25Am I losing my mind?
24:27Why would I dream about that?
24:30Why does my body feel like it actually happened?
24:32Good morning, Eve.
24:34Breakfast is in the warmer, poached eggs.
24:36Just the way you like them.
24:38I've headed to the set.
24:39It's supposed to rain today,
24:41so don't forget an umbrella.
24:46Well, well.
24:47Look at that glow.
24:49Someone had a very restful last night, I see.
24:56Ooh, weak knees.
24:58Looks like our little Julian doesn't just have range as an actor.
25:01He's got some serious stamina, too.
25:03Chloe, where is your professional ethics?
25:06My ethics tell me your dark circles are gone,
25:09your heart rate is steady,
25:09and you finally look relaxed.
25:10Eve, we have a crisis.
25:12Julian got into a fight with Marcus' crew on set.
25:14They've got him cornered.
25:15Send me the location I'm come.
25:16I'll drive.
25:18With those jelly legs of yours,
25:20you'd crash in five minutes.
25:21Shut up.
25:23You're this nervous about him.
25:25Are you sure it's just a game?
25:30Don't fall for him.
25:37So, how are you going to handle this?
25:39It's my set.
25:41He's my man.
25:42Nobody touches what belongs to me.
25:44Ooh.
25:46Alpha energy.
25:47I like it.
25:53Oh, and you might want to cover that.
25:59When did he do that?
26:02Young guys, they really don't know their own strength, do they?
26:06Just drive the damn car, Chloe.
26:18Julian, were you planning on staying out there until you caught pneumonia?
26:22I'm sorry, Eve.
26:23I just wanted the scene to be perfect for you.
26:25He was sabotaging you.
26:30Can't you see that?
26:32But Amber is your soul, Eve.
26:34If I started a fight and stalled production,
26:37or gave the investors another reason to crawl down your throat,
26:40I couldn't live with that.
26:42I don't mind taking a few hits.
26:49Really, as long as your dream stays on track,
26:52I can handle anything.
26:54You idiot.
26:56You idiot.
27:04Don't be mad, Eve.
27:05I'll be smarter next time.
27:07There won't be a next time.
27:14You're mine now,
27:15and nobody touches what's mine.
27:20I gave the kid hell today,
27:21just like you asked.
27:22But man,
27:24Evelyn went ballistic.
27:25She actually threatened me for that rookie.
27:30It's a show, Sean.
27:31She's just using that boy toy to get under my skin,
27:33to prove she's over me.
27:35You sure?
27:35She looked like she was ready to kill for me.
27:37She's been obsessed with me for years.
27:40She's just throwing a tantrum.
27:42Once I decide to throw her a bone
27:44and say a few sweet words,
27:47she'll come crawling back.
27:49She always does.
27:56Eve,
27:56I made ginger tea,
27:58and I have some medicine ready.
28:00I'm fine.
28:00I can't get sick.
28:02I have to take care of you.
28:03Marcus never asked if I was cold.
28:05He only cared about his own reflection.
28:07Eve?
28:08You're so obedient.
28:11What kind of reward does a good boy like you deserve?
28:16I want you.
28:18Is that within the rules?
28:19And there it is.
28:20The mask is finally cracking.
28:22He's not as innocent as he looks,
28:24and I think I'm addicted to it.
28:32Julian,
28:35after tonight...
28:36After tonight,
28:37I'll make sure you're even more satisfied than yesterday.
28:40I'm a fast learner, Eve.
28:41You know that.
28:49Perfect.
28:51Eve!
28:53First go, sorry.
28:55Great, great.
28:56Eve, Evelyn,
28:57we need to talk.
29:02I need to talk to you.
29:03Excuse me for a second.
29:05You have exactly three sex to get lost before I have security throw you out.
29:09Eve, honey, I know you're still hurting.
29:10I messed up, okay?
29:12Look, I'm apologizing in front of everyone.
29:14Just give me five minutes.
29:17Sir, she told you to leave.
29:18Oh, look who it is.
29:20The little puppy.
29:21What, playing hero today?
29:24March 2019.
29:26You laundered 50 million through Sunrise Media using offshore accounts to dodge federal taxes.
29:30Should I call the IRA and the tablades for you,
29:31or would you like to make the call yourself?
29:44Find a way
29:46to catch Evelyn
29:47and that little actor in the act.
29:50I want her reputation burned to the ground
29:53so she never threatens my son's inheritance again.
29:57Get this done
29:58and three lead roles are yours.
30:00I'll make you a superstar overnight.
30:07If this keeps up,
30:08we'll be washed away
30:09before we even wrap the scene.
30:19What would happen
30:20if I kissed that raindrop away?
30:35Is this my reward, Eve?
30:36Because if so,
30:37I'm going to get very greedy.
30:39There it is again.
30:40That side of him.
30:41The one I've never seen before.
30:43Come on, Eve.
30:44The path ahead is slick.
30:45Let me carry you.
30:47Fine.
30:53Mrs. Grant, the rain ruined the clarity
30:55and the kid is too fast.
30:57It's like he knew exactly where my lenses were.
31:00He dodged every blind spot.
31:02He's a ghost.
31:03So you're telling me that after all this time,
31:05you have nothing usable?
31:06Just give me more time.
31:08They'll slip eventually.
31:09Don't bother.
31:11A nobody with no background
31:12doesn't have counter-surveillance instincts like this.
31:16This isn't something you learn in acting class.
31:21Evelaine, this little wolf you've brought home,
31:24who the hell is he?
31:28How the hell do you know that?
31:30Care to guess where the original files are sitting right now?
31:36Sir, please.
31:37Stop harassing Ms. Grant
31:38or I'll be forced to call the police.
31:42What just happened?
31:43He bolted like he saw a ghost
31:44just because the kid mentioned the police?
31:45Guilty conscience, clearly.
31:47But damn,
31:48Julian looked like a different person for a second.
31:50Total psycho energy.
31:51What did you say to him?
31:52I just said I'd call the cops if he didn't stop.
31:55Maybe he finally realized he was being a stalker.
31:57Bullshit.
31:58I was just warning him, Eve.
31:59Are you worried about me?
32:01Don't dodge the question.
32:02A guy like Marcus doesn't bolt from the police.
32:05Just know that anyone who tries to hurt you
32:07has to go through me first.
32:10And I don't care if I have to play dirty to keep you safe.
32:16You're awake.
32:17Does your head still hurt?
32:22Eve?
32:24Five more minutes.
32:28As you wish.
32:37Your costume is thinner than mine.
32:42Thanks, Eve.
32:43Drink this during the break.
32:45It's honey and pear.
32:47What are you, a magician?
32:48Or Doraemon?
32:50Neither.
32:52I just want to have everything you might need
32:54before you even know you need it.
33:03It was amazing.
33:05You were great.
33:05I'm so proud of you.
33:11Evelyn!
33:11Get over here!
33:12Now!
33:14Father.
33:15What a surprise.
33:20So this is the, uh, toy I've been hearing about?
33:26Mr. Grant.
33:27This is between us.
33:29Leave him out of it.
33:29The whole city is laughing at me.
33:31My daughter, the divorce throwing her life away on a boy toy?
33:34You're dragging the Grant name through the mud.
33:37Break it off with this nobody and get in the car.
33:39We're going home.
33:39Home?
33:40To the house where you turned my bedroom
33:42into your mistress's son's playroom?
33:43To listen to that woman preach about being well-behaved socialette?
33:45I'd rather rob you.
33:46Watch your mouth!
33:47I am your father.
33:47I'm trying to save you.
33:49What kind of future could you possibly have?
33:50A lowlife?
33:51At least he cares about me.
33:52While my own father only cares if I'm embarrassing him.
33:57Well, Thrant!
34:00Nice hit, father.
34:02Tell me.
34:04Do you even know what tomorrow is?
34:07Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of my mother's death.
34:12But you forgot, didn't you?
34:16You have a new wife, a new son, a new family.
34:21Let's go.
34:22I'm giving you three days, Evelyn.
34:25Break it off, or I'll pull every investor from Amber.
34:29Without the Grant name, you are nothing.
34:43Eve, let's get you home.
34:45Julian, don't lie to me.
34:48I don't think I have anything left to lose.
34:53Hold on.
34:53I'll carry you.
34:57I will never hurt you, Eve.
34:59I promise.
35:01I'm sorry, Eve.
35:02I have to stay in the shadows for now.
35:05But my heart?
35:06That's the only real thing about me.
35:12You useless idiot!
35:13Those photos did nothing!
35:15You just gave her a PR boost!
35:17Marcus, I don't know.
35:18That Julian kid, he's a freak.
35:21He had dirt on me that shouldn't even exist.
35:23Don't you get it?
35:25Enough!
35:26Fuck off!
35:26Calm down, Marcus.
35:28A PR win is temporary.
35:30True power is in the wallet.
35:32Arthur's three-day deadline is up.
35:33Since Evelyn refuses to play ball, it's time to cut off her oxygen.
35:36Kill the funding for Amber.
35:38Make sure no bank, no fund, and no investor touches her.
35:40Let her find out what it's like to be truly alone.
35:42Deep sleep up by 23%.
35:44Zero night tumors.
35:46Wow, Eve.
35:47Eve, this new medication of yours is doing wonders.
35:52Drop it, Chloe.
35:53I'm serious.
35:54You look alive again.
35:56I really hope this lasts.
35:57I...
35:57Eve!
35:58It's bad.
35:59Two of our anchor investors just pulled out.
36:02They said they got orders from above.
36:04What?
36:05The funding gap just hit 50 million.
36:08We're dead in the water.
36:12Sell my Maybach.
36:13Put my villa on the market, the one I got in the divorce.
36:16List them today.
36:17But Eve, that's everything you have.
36:19Eve, stop.
36:20I have 8 million in liquid assets.
36:22I can pull another 10 from my family trust.
36:24It's not 50, but it's a start.
36:26We're in this together.
36:27Chloe, I can't take your family's money.
36:29Try and stop me.
36:31Amber was your mother's dream.
36:32It's your dream.
36:33Father, Beatrice, you want to see me crawl?
36:36Keep waiting.
36:37Because I'm never backing down.
36:42Does it still hurt?
36:44I've been icing it for 4 hours.
36:46The swelling is down.
36:49You stayed up all night?
36:52I couldn't.
36:53Not while you were in that much pain.
36:58Next time, don't stand in front of me.
37:01He's my father, Julian.
37:03You're a rookie with no backup.
37:05Pissing him off is dangerous for you.
37:07I know.
37:10That's the only reason I didn't break his hand.
37:12But seeing you like this, it kills me, Eve.
37:15Hello?
37:16Eve, we're under attack.
37:18Sean's team bought out a dozen tabloids.
37:19They're running a hit piece claiming you're abusing your authority,
37:22sleeping with the help, and bullying costars.
37:24They've got receipts.
37:25The rain scene, the trailer.
37:26The internet is losing its mind.
37:28The trolls are everywhere.
37:29This is a coordinated hit.
37:31Eve, don't look.
37:32I've got this.
37:34Leo, listen carefully.
37:38First, get Director Sterling to release a statement in 30 minutes.
37:41Confirm the set is professional and Sean was fired for incompetence.
37:45Attach the daily logs to prove his track record of failure.
37:48Second, leak the recording of Sean's hit and running from last year.
37:53The files are in your inbox now.
37:55Next, gather all of Evelyn's charity records,
37:58the schools, the scholarships.
38:00Then call the Global Times.
38:02They owe me a favor.
38:04Tell them to run a feature on her philanthropy.
38:07Where the hell did you get dirt on Sean?
38:08And the Global Times?
38:09Julian?
38:10Don't ask.
38:11Just move.
38:12We have a four-hour window to flip the narrative.
38:14Go!
38:18Eve, the tide is turning.
38:19Everyone's talking about Sean's hit and run.
38:21The bullying rumors are dying out.
38:23Vogue wants an exclusive.
38:24They want to rebrand you as a powerhouse female producer.
38:28We won, Eve!
38:30Julian, where did you learn to do that?
38:33A college elective doesn't teach you how to bury a scandal in four hours?
38:38Maybe I'm just a fast learner.
38:43An innocent rookie or a master of war?
38:46Julian, who are you?
38:59Marcus, think very carefully about the consequences of landing that blow.
39:03This is between me and my wife.
39:05Move aside, you little gold digger.
39:06Wife, legally, you lost that title.
39:09Reality-wise, you were never worthy of it.
39:11Fine.
39:12Let's see how long your pride lasts when the cameras stop rolling.
39:15Without money, Amber is just a pile of worthless film.
39:17You have nothing.
39:18Is that so?
39:19We're saved.
39:20A $50 million wire just hit the Amber escrow account from an offshore fund.
39:23The signature is just one letter W.
39:25Eve, that's incredible.
39:26I told you.
39:27There's always a way.
39:28W?
39:29Who is that?
39:29Do you know them, Julian?
39:30Me?
39:31No, maybe it's a fan.
39:32Or an overseas investor who loves your work.
39:34You're the best in the industry, Eve.
39:36People want to see you win.
39:38Fan of $50 million at the exact moment I needed it?
39:41Julian, who are you?
39:46Eve, please, don't do this.
39:48If we just go back to your father, beg for scrap and apologize, even a fake one.
39:52If I were the type to beg, I can buy a new car later, Leo.
39:55But once you break your backbone, you never stand tall again.
40:00Well, well, Evelyn, what a coincidence.
40:03I heard someone was desperate to offload a limited edition Phantom.
40:06I figured I was the only person in this city with enough liquid cash to help you out.
40:10Marcus, is this really fun for you?
40:13It's hilarious, actually.
40:14Seeing the great Evelyn Grant, the untouchable movie star begging me for money, it's poetic.
40:21Stop acting tough, Eve.
40:22You're alone.
40:23Your father hates you, and you're selling your prized possession just to survive.
40:30I'd rather burn the cash and smash the car than take a dime from you.
40:33I'd rather burn the cash and smash the car than take a dime from you.
