00:11Congratulations to Dorothy for winning the Best Original Screenplay at the Rising Stars
00:16Movie Awards.
00:18We did it.
00:19Three years ago, I was the most sought-after screenwriter.
00:25Three years later, I fell in love with Drake, keeping my identity a secret for the sake
00:30of his pride.
00:32I thought we were happy until...
00:38Hi.
00:45Where the hell have you been?
00:47I told you that Stephanie was coming to help set up for my brother's birthday, and instead
00:51of helping us, he'd just disappear.
00:53What, did you bail 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 is because
01:00you're nothing more than a free maid.
01:03Otherwise, why would someone like you be allowed to marry my brother?
01:07What?
01:08A maid?
01:09I 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.
01:19But the risk is way too high.
01:21Dad.
01:23Please.
01:25Okay.
01:27And I'm sure you don't want him to know the real reason why I'm investing.
01:35Think about it, Dorothy.
01:37Since you got married, has he ever even touched you?
01:39How often does he actually come home?
01:41He doesn't even want to look at you.
01:44Let 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 instead of being
01:56my late brother's widow.
01:58Ellie!
01:59Whatever happened between me and Drake is all in the past.
02:02Besides, I'm carrying Nick's baby.
02:08It's the perfect time.
02:12Oh my god!
02:13Oh my god!
02:14Dorothy just pushed Stephanie into the pool!
02:16What?
02:18What?
02:24Quick, save Stephanie!
02:25She's carrying Nick's baby!
02:29Quick, get in there!
02:44He chose Stephanie over me.
02:49My baby!
02:51My baby is gone!
02:52Why would you do this to me?
02:56How dare you!
02:57You pushed Stephanie into the pool to try and kill her and her unborn baby.
03:01Are you happy now that Stephanie's baby's gone?
03:04I didn't do it!
03:05I know you don't want me here!
03:06I told you whatever happened between me and Drake is in the past!
03:10You can hate me however you want to, but how could you be so cruel as to kill my unborn
03:14child?
03:14He didn't do it!
03:15You know me, I would never do that to Stephanie!
03:19Apologize 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.
03:33Divorce.
03:34If you apologize right now, then I'm willing to give you another chance.
03:43It's been three years, Drake.
03:46I gave up everything to be your wife.
03:49You've always kept to the shadows, Dorothy.
03:51I already have a life, and right now I just want to focus on being on my marriage or Drake.
03:59I thought you would always be by my side, but I was wrong.
04:04The only reason you're allowed to stay by Drake's side is because you're nothing more than a free maid.
04:09Since you got married, has he ever even touched you?
04:11He doesn't even want to look at you.
04:15Fine!
04:18Let's get a divorce.
04:27There's nothing left in my heart.
04:29Drake's nothing without me.
04:33My ring!
04:35My ring is gone!
04:37Well, you must have taken it.
04:39Why would I take her ring?
04:41Well, look how quickly you packed your suitcase.
04:43You're probably seeing someone else.
04:45Dorothy.
04:47Yes?
04:48We were married for three years.
04:50Were you seeing someone else?
04:51Of course she was.
04:52She's probably been cheating on you for a really long time.
04:55Couldn't wait for the divorce.
04:57So what if I was, huh?
04:59And what about you, still?
05:01Hung up on your so-called sister-in-law?
05:03What gives you the right to talk about me?
05:05I only look after Stephanie because she's my brother's widow.
05:10But you actually seeing someone else?
05:12Who is he?
05:12Big talk!
05:14Don't bring me down to your level.
05:16I'm not like you.
05:18Since your sister-in-law lost her ring,
05:24why don't you take...
05:31this one?
05:33You've been waiting for this for a long time, haven't you?
05:40Bye.
05:48And so I left.
05:52This is ridiculous!
05:55We, the Bennett family,
05:56are one of the four major production companies in the world.
05:59I let him marry my daughter
06:00and even invest it in his business.
06:03How dare that, Drake!
06:04Do this to my daughter!
06:07Look, it's actually a good thing, Dad.
06:11Now we know who he really is
06:13and he has no idea who I am.
06:15Still, you're my daughter.
06:17I can't let him do this to you.
06:18If it weren't for you,
06:20I would not have considered investing in his company.
06:22We're going to pull our investment immediately.
06:24Yes, it's time to cut him off.
06:26He doesn't deserve you.
06:28I'm over Drake.
06:30If we withdraw the plans now,
06:33it's going to hurt the family business.
06:35He's not worth it.
06:38Honey,
06:40why don't you just take a vacation?
06:43Just put all this aside
06:45and take some time out for yourself.
06:47Yeah.
06:50No.
06:53I've wasted too much time with Drake
06:55over the three years.
06:58You know,
06:58now I want to focus on something
07:00that actually matters.
07:02You know,
07:03Christopher has been saying
07:05that many people want to buy the movie rights
07:07to Liar's Game.
07:09Universal,
07:10Paramount,
07:10every major studio wants this.
07:15Liar's Game.
07:16Your story on the big screen.
07:19If you're in,
07:19I'd be happy to be the one headlining it.
07:21Ah.
07:22So that's why they're making it.
07:24Because of you.
07:25I'm sorry,
07:26Christopher Santoro.
07:27See?
07:28They're not funding the film.
07:30They're funding you.
07:31Wrong.
07:33They're funding the story.
07:34It's more than good.
07:36It's phenomenal.
07:38Christopher is right.
07:40I'm taking my life back.
07:46I'm going to adapt to myself.
07:49You are?
07:50Yes.
07:52I will.
07:53Well, good for you.
07:55I won't tell anyone I'm asking you.
08:08Congratulations to Arya Wong
08:09for winning the best director.
08:16This is my close friend from college.
08:18Arya,
08:19I need your help.
08:20I want to adapt the Liar's Game myself.
08:23And I want you to direct it.
08:25Of course.
08:27All right.
08:28Okay.
08:29There's just one thing.
08:30I want to keep my identity as the writer a secret.
08:34I don't want anyone to know,
08:37especially not the team.
08:38SQ,
08:39are you sure?
08:40But why keep it a secret?
08:42I just want people to focus on the story itself.
08:45Got it.
08:46Your secret's safe with me.
08:50Oh my God.
08:54Jeff,
08:55it's a bit weird.
08:57Ever since news got out about our movie,
08:59my phone has not stopped ringing.
09:02Really?
09:08It's Stephanie.
09:13Yeah,
09:14just take it.
09:18Hello?
09:19Hello,
09:20Miss 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?
09:29I'll speak to the writer
09:30and I'll let you know.
09:32Thank you,
09:33Miss Wong.
09:35What do you think?
09:38Anyone can audition, right?
09:39As long as they're
09:40right for the role.
09:43What happened between me and Stephanie
09:44is not important here,
09:46so...
09:47Okay.
09:49I'll call her back
09:50and let her know.
09:51Mm-hmm.
10:00What about me?
10:04Can I be your hero?
10:09Oh, you mean, uh,
10:11the film, right?
10:14I've never considered anyone else.
10:18It does mean that.
10:19I have to take this.
10:22Hi.
10:27You know,
10:27I'm not just talking about the film, Dorothy.
10:31It's okay.
10:33I can wait.
10:36I've waited 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.
10:54Well,
10:54do 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
11:06and I want to buy coffee
11:07for the crew.
11:09Why don't you be a doll
11:10and mark down everyone's order?
11:13Are 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?
11:28Oh, no.
11:29She can't know I'm as few.
11:33I want to keep my identity
11:35as the writer in a secret.
11:37I don't want anyone to know,
11:38especially not the team.
11:43What do you mean?
11:45Who is she?
11:48No one but a lower PA,
11:50I'm sure.
11:54Isn't that right?
11:55Well, actually,
11:56she's...
12:00she's just a PA.
12:02You're right.
12:05So why don't you show me
12:06a lower PA,
12:08your acting skills?
12:09Maybe I'll be impressed
12:10even by who the gopies myself.
12:13Watch this.
12:19I loved you once.
12:21Or so I thought.
12:24But now I see
12:25that it was all just a lie.
12:28A beautiful...
12:31painful lie.
12:36You took everything from me.
12:40My dreams.
12:42My future.
12:46See?
12:47There's no soul.
12:49That's not acting,
12:50it's just...
12:51reciting lines.
12:54When are you sure how it's done?
12:55What?
12:57Go on.
13:01Go on.
13:03Go on.
13:23I loved you once.
13:26So I thought.
13:30But now I can see
13:31it was all a lie.
13:34A beautiful,
13:36painful lie.
13:38You took
13:39everything
13:40from me.
13:43My heart.
13:45My dreams.
13:46My future.
13:50And for what?
13:53For your own
13:54personal gains.
14:05How is that possible?
14:08Dorothy,
14:09that was
14:10perfect.
14:11The role is yours
14:12if you want it.
14:14No!
14:16This role is mine!
14:18I'm the one with the investment.
14:20Without me,
14:21there's no funding
14:21for this movie.
14:22Your investment?
14:23Do you even know
14:24who she is?
14:26Who is she?
14:32Who is she?
14:34As you know,
14:35no one
14:35but a PA.
14:37Dorothy,
14:39this movie
14:39is important to Stephanie.
14:41I mean,
14:41why are you here?
14:41You're not a real actress.
14:43What are you doing?
14:43You're trying to ruin her career.
14:44You're trying to get back at me
14:45by ruining her career.
14:46I'm not ruining anything.
14:48If she can't handle the role,
14:51that's on her,
14:52not me.
14:53You can't blame this
14:54on anyone else.
14:55You embarrassed her
14:55in front of everyone.
14:57I mean,
14:57I know what you're doing.
14:58You're the one
14:59pulling all the strings here.
15:00You're trying to make her fail
15:01so you can take her place.
15:03She's using this whole thing
15:04to get to you, Drake.
15:05She's been jealous
15:06from the start,
15:07trying to ruin my chance
15:08just to get back to you.
15:09Okay, no.
15:10I don't want to fight anymore.
15:11Let's just take a look
15:12at the script
15:13and maybe we can
15:13work something out.
15:16You are just so
15:17damn selfish!
15:19You only care about yourself!
15:21Just give Stephanie
15:22her role back!
15:23You know what?
15:26I didn't want to do this,
15:27but I will.
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
15:44was far stronger than yours.
15:46Everyone in the room
15:47can see it.
15:50I'm so glad
15:52you've agreed to do the role.
15:54Right, it's settled then.
15:56The lead roles go to
15:57Christopher and Dorothy.
16:00I will double
16:01my investment
16:04if you give
16:05Stephanie a role.
16:09I never thought I'd see
16:10the day my ex-husband
16:12would go this far
16:13for his sister-in-law.
16:15I can always count on you,
16:17right?
16:22I will double my investment
16:24if you give a role to Stephanie.
16:25You two
16:26are just such...
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.
16:37We have nothing to lose.
16:39I guess that'll be fine.
16:42I'll talk to SQ.
16:48You're father's production company
16:50is already the biggest investor
16:51in your movie,
16:52so why take Drake's money?
16:54Don't...
16:54Don't still have feelings for Drake.
16:57No!
16:58He's an asshole!
17:01Come on.
17:02I've got an idea.
17:05Why don't we just give her a character
17:07that will make her miserable?
17:11Well, Mr. Santorum.
17:13I feel bad now.
17:19I only wish you didn't
17:21have feelings for Drake anymore.
17:25How did she land herself the role?
17:27She's practically a nobody.
17:29No fan base,
17:30no real experience.
17:31Just one good scene.
17:33It doesn't make sense.
17:37Find out everything you can
17:38about Dorothy.
17:39I want all the dirt.
17:48Director,
17:49there must be a mistake.
17:50I'm only a side character
17:52and not even in the main scene.
17:54You wanted a role.
17:55We gave you roles.
17:57I came in
17:58with an investment.
18:00Well,
18:01you're more than welcome
18:02to take it back
18:03and leave the set.
18:06If a small role
18:07in Escu's film
18:08is going to do
18:08great things
18:08for your career,
18:09now is not the time
18:10for you to be messing around.
18:13Fine.
18:20Two take one.
18:22Action.
18:23Lily,
18:23you are my best friend.
18:24How could you do this to me?
18:26I'm sorry,
18:26but this is...
18:30What the hell are you doing?
18:31It's part of the scene!
18:37Okay,
18:38take it again
18:38from this lap.
18:40Action.
18:41Woo!
18:45Cut!
18:46Stephanie,
18:47why aren't you saying
18:48your lines?
18:49You have to keep going
18:50in the scene.
18:52I think we've had
18:53enough for today.
18:54Yeah,
18:54but we'll just try again
18:55tomorrow.
19:03Did you see her face?
19:06Absolute gold.
19:07I mean,
19:07she got what she wanted.
19:08She asks for a role
19:10and that's what we gave her,
19:11so...
19:12Seriously,
19:13her performance
19:13is all over the place.
19:15Maybe we should just
19:17cut down on her screen time.
19:19We all know the film's better
19:20without her slowing us down.
19:22You're right.
19:24I'm not gonna let anyone
19:26ruin your story.
19:31So,
19:32if you can just
19:33give me something
19:33that's a bit more...
19:36Something about her death.
19:43What's going on
19:44with my scenes?
19:45Why have so many
19:46of them been cut?
19:47It's a collective decision.
19:51Fuck that.
19:52Let me talk to the writer.
19:53The writer is SQ
19:55and as you know,
19:55they never show their face,
19:57so their decision is final.
20:01I'll see you on set
20:02in five.
20:06Oh!
20:15Now it all makes sense.
20:22Now it all makes sense.
20:25That's the head
20:25of the production company.
20:28No wonder
20:28she got the role.
20:30Let's see how
20:31John's wife
20:31feels about that.
20:41Everyone,
20:42I have an announcement
20:43to make.
20:44Today will be
20:45Stephanie's
20:46last day on set.
20:52You really think
20:53I don't see
20:53through your little games?
20:55Somebody will be
20:56walking out that door today,
20:57but it won't be me.
21:00You really think
21:00you can get away
21:01with this?
21:03Sleeping your way up?
21:07John's wife
21:07is on her way.
21:08Let's see how
21:09you talk your way
21:09out of this one.
21:11Slut.
21:17That's enough!
21:21So were you
21:22the one who was
21:22stalking and secretly
21:23taking photos?
21:25What?
21:25Scared the truth
21:26is going to come out?
21:27Someone had to
21:28expose her
21:29for who she really is.
21:31So you admit it.
21:32You did it.
21:33Damn right I did.
21:35And I'd do it again
21:36if I had to.
21:38You don't know
21:39who you just crossed!
21:41Oh, I know.
21:42Just some rich old
21:43bastard
21:44throwing a tantrum.
21:45I sent those photos
21:46to your wife, too.
21:47And now your mistress
21:48is about to be exposed.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Security.
21:54Stephanie is banned
21:55from the studio.
21:56Make sure she never
21:57sets foot here again.
21:58You can't just do that!
22:00Oh, this is insane!
22:01What are you right?
22:02I was only telling you
22:03the truth!
22:04She is a mistress,
22:05a loose woman,
22:06a lady of the night!
22:16Is it true
22:16that Dorothy is
22:17John's sugar baby?
22:18Well, otherwise,
22:19why would he come on to the set
22:20and get me banned
22:21and get me banned
22:21from the movie?
22:22That's unbelievable.
22:24And he humiliated me.
22:26He had me dragged off the set
22:27like a criminal.
22:28You should have seen it!
22:30I'm not going to let her
22:31just ruin our reputation
22:32like this.
22:33I mean, this whole message
22:34is making us look like fools.
22:38Dorothy's always been trouble.
22:40I mean, first she goes off
22:41with a married man
22:41and now this.
22:44I don't know how you put up
22:45with her for three years.
22:46You should have got a divorce earlier.
22:50Stephanie, are you 100% sure
22:52that Dorothy is
22:53John's sugar baby?
22:54It's the only explanation!
22:56She's clearly nothing
22:57but a slut!
22:59Oh!
23:00Drake, Stephanie
23:02is your sister-in-law.
23:05Now, you need to take care of her
23:06and forget about Dorothy.
23:08Can't you see
23:09she's the one behind all of this?
23:11She was sleeping her way
23:13to the top,
23:14killing Stephanie's
23:15unborn child
23:17and John dragging her
23:19off the set.
23:19you should be sticking up
23:20for Stephanie!
23:25I'm not going to let her
23:26do this to you.
23:42Do you think you can just
23:43walk away from what you did
23:43like nothing happened?
23:45I didn't walk away
23:46from anything.
23:46You did.
23:48You told Stephanie over me.
23:49Remember this one?
23:50She's my sister-in-law!
23:52I'm so sick
23:53of hearing this.
23:55You have feelings
23:56for her
23:56and I'm just tired of it!
23:58You're out of your mind
23:59if you think I'm going to
23:59let you get away with this!
24:01You do
24:02what you want to do.
24:03But for now,
24:04get out!
24:06why?
24:12We were married
24:13for three years
24:14and we never...
24:15Oh dear!
24:16Why can't you let go of me?
24:27No wonder you want me to go.
24:30Just look at yourself.
24:32You're not half
24:33the man Christopher is.
24:35Get out
24:37or I will call the cops.
24:40Just go!
24:49Are you okay?
24:56Dorothy?
24:58Yeah?
24:58Remember,
24:59safety first.
25:01The lifeguard's right there
25:02if you need him.
25:03Okay.
25:06Anything you need
25:07let the AD know.
25:08Okay.
25:08Got it.
25:09Got it.
25:10Yeah?
25:18Here's a coffee for you.
25:20It's still early
25:21before the shoot.
25:21Take your time.
25:51Let's start and see how...
25:51You guys are going to have
25:52Okay?
26:15Something's wrong.
26:19That's not acting.
26:21She's in trouble.
26:27Where's the lifeguard?
26:33Where's the lifeguard?
26:45Where's the lifeguard?
26:48Stay with me.
26:55Where the fuck is the lifeguard?
27:05Come on, Dorothy.
27:08Come on, Dorothy.
27:30Why did you do that?
27:32I'll do anything for you, Dorothy.
27:37Christopher risked everything without hesitation.
27:41How could I have been so blind?
28:07I wasn't expecting that.
28:16Where were you?
28:17Dorothy could have drowned.
28:18I'm sorry.
28:19I had a stomachache.
28:20I had to go to the bar.
28:21Make sure it doesn't happen again.
28:27Do you think that I should call Dorothy just to make sure she's okay?
28:32Are you still hung up on her?
28:34No.
28:36It's not like that.
28:37I'm just trying to be helpful.
28:38Don't you remember, Jane?
28:41She's the one who had me kicked out of the movie.
28:44She's the one who killed my baby.
28:46Not just my baby, but Nick's baby.
28:48I know I'm just your sister-in-law and whatever happened between us is in the past.
28:53But I have no one now.
28:56No husband.
28:58No baby.
29:00What I have left is you.
29:03Don't you see through Dorothy yet?
29:06She's nothing but a slut, sleeping her way to the top.
29:08You don't know that.
29:11You know I'm right.
29:13Why else would John come onto the set and stand up for her?
29:16Not just John, but Christopher too.
29:18She's sleeping around with anyone she can find.
29:20She's a whore.
29:20Shut up!
29:28Shut up!
29:31You want war?
29:33I'll give you war.
29:38Do it.
29:40Make sure Dorothy feels every bit of it.
29:48Breaking news.
29:49Unknown actress seduces Hollywood heartthrob.
29:52Rising star or opportunist.
29:55Actress Dorothy's shocking affair with Christopher.
29:57Christopher's new flame for a heartless gold digger.
30:00Dorothy!
30:02Liar!
30:02A bitch!
30:05This is getting out of hand.
30:08Maybe we should just reveal her real identity.
30:10Let everyone know she's not just some random actress.
30:18No.
30:19Dorothy, once we tell them who you are, there's no reason for them to attack you.
30:22There's someone behind this.
30:24And whoever they are, I'll make them pay.
30:41Well, this can't be right.
30:44What?
30:46I die in the second scene!
30:49This must be Dorothy and John forcing S.Q. to cut me out.
30:53They won't get away with this.
31:00Don't get away with this.
31:00Tray, can you believe this?
31:01They've completely written me out of the script.
31:04Do you remember when Nick was lying in that hospital bed?
31:07You promised him you'd look after me.
31:10I've already lost my husband and my baby.
31:12I can't lose my career too.
31:14Don't worry.
31:15I'll get you and your character back.
31:20I'll get you and your character back.
31:34There's a tape of a documentary that apparently S.Q. has always wanted.
31:38So, we win this bid and we gift it to them.
31:42Should be able to get you your robot.
31:45Up next, a rare gem.
31:49The original film documentary chronicling the creative journey of none other than herself,
31:55legendary screenwriter Margaret Lane.
31:5850,000.
32:00What's she doing here?
32:03I don't know.
32:05I'm not going to let her win this.
32:0760,000!
32:1270,000.
32:15100,000!
32:19This is my grandmother's documentary.
32:21It's her legacy.
32:23She's the one who inspired me to become a screenwriter.
32:26I can't let it fall into the wrong hands.
32:31500,000!
32:42500,000!
32:45I'm trying to get you your role back.
32:47Don't worry.
32:48I've got it covered.
32:50Ladies and gentlemen,
32:52we are down to the final bid.
32:53Standing at a whopping 500,000!
32:57500,000 going once.
33:00500,000 going twice.
33:04Sola!
33:05To the lady in the blue dress.
33:14I can't believe this.
33:16You have no right
33:17to take that film reel with you.
33:24You have no right to take that film reel with you.
33:29What's going on?
33:36Ladies and gentlemen,
33:38I've just been informed
33:39that Miss Dorothy
33:40is in fact not
33:41an invited guest.
33:43Therefore,
33:44as per our rules,
33:46this documentary reel
33:47will not be released
33:48to Miss Dorothy.
33:49This is ridiculous.
33:50I was invited.
33:52Well, in that case,
33:54may I see your invitation?
33:57Yes.
34:01I did have it,
34:02I swear.
34:02I'm sorry, Miss Dorothy.
34:04If you do not have
34:05the invitation at hand,
34:06the documentary reel
34:07has to go to
34:08the second highest bidder.
34:09This is the protocol.
34:10No, you don't understand.
34:11I'm sorry.
34:30I'm sorry.
34:31These are the rules.
34:33The documentary reel
34:34will go to
34:34the honourable couple.
34:55Stephanie, wait.
34:57Just sell it to me.
34:59Name your price.
35:01I'll pay you anything you want.
35:02It's really important to me, please.
35:04Why are you doing this?
35:06Are you just trying to get my attention
35:07by going after something
35:09that Stephanie wants?
35:10No, you don't understand.
35:13Just let me buy this.
35:15Whatever it takes.
35:17Oh, Dorothy.
35:18You think this is about money?
35:21Please.
35:21This isn't something
35:22you can just buy.
35:24Dorothy,
35:25what the hell are you doing?
35:27Why do you always have
35:28to go against her like that?
35:29This reel is important to Stephanie.
35:31She can use this
35:31to help her career.
35:33Her career?
35:35Is this about your role
35:36being cut from the pill?
35:39Is that why you're doing this?
35:43I'm the writer.
35:44I can fix this.
35:46We can rewrite the story
35:47and bring your character back.
35:49Just...
35:49Just let me have the reel, please.
35:52You're the writer?
35:54Are you telling me
35:55that you're SQ?
36:00You!
36:01The writer SQ!
36:02Can you give us a break?
36:04Look,
36:05this reel is important
36:06to Stephanie.
36:07End it.
36:08Don't make this harder
36:09than it has to be.
36:12You've been with Dorothy
36:13for so long
36:14and you don't even know her!
36:15Oh, and you do!
36:16A hell of a lot more than you!
36:18Who the fuck do you think you are?
36:19Both of you, calm down!
36:20What the fuck do you think you are?
36:34Scratched all over!
36:35It's ruined!
36:36Not even fit to be a gift anymore!
36:38I can fix this.
36:40Stephanie, I know someone
36:41who can restore it.
36:42Just sell it to me, please!
36:43Just name your price!
36:47Even if I had no use for it,
36:49I'd never give it to you.
37:17I want to be a writer
37:19like you, Grandma.
37:20I want to make movies
37:21like you do.
37:23This reel
37:24has more than pictures
37:27and sound on it.
37:28Really?
37:29An entire world
37:31I've captured.
37:32But it's just one way
37:33of seeing things.
37:35The magic is
37:36creating it yourself.
37:38Someday you will.
37:51Dorothy, I need you to go apologise to Stephanie
37:55and give her her role back.
37:58Apologise?
37:58To her?
38:00She destroyed the reel.
38:01And she wouldn't have done that
38:02if you hadn't pushed her.
38:08So go apologise or I'm pulling my funding.
38:11Look, Dorothy,
38:13let's be real here.
38:15Without Stephanie,
38:17who's going to invest?
38:19I mean, even the production company
38:20will pull out if they hear
38:21that she's not involved anymore.
38:22Her name carries weight.
38:24Let's not pretend
38:25that your reputation
38:25is exactly stellar right now.
38:28Christopher's fans hate you.
38:29Stephanie's fans hate you.
38:31Even if you actually make this film,
38:34no one's going to support it.
38:35You will be buried.
38:39If you apologise to Stephanie now,
38:42I can help you.
38:44I can control the press.
38:46I can control the narrative.
38:48I can actually give you a chance.
38:52What's so funny?
38:56What's so funny?
38:58Pull your funding.
39:00Do it.
39:01You'll see it does nothing
39:02for the movie.
39:03Okay.
39:04So what if I tell the production head
39:06to pull his funding too?
39:08Didn't I tell you
39:09that I know Mr. Bennett?
39:10Oh.
39:12Go ahead.
39:13Try it.
39:14Want me to call?
39:15Uh-huh.
39:17Fine.
39:22Hi, Mr. Bennett.
39:23It's Drake.
39:24Drake Mossbacher.
39:25Yeah, I'm pulling my funding
39:26from Liars Game
39:27and I suggest that you do
39:28the same thing.
39:29I've seen it
39:29and it's a sinking ship.
39:30Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
39:32You're pulling out?
39:34Great.
39:34I'll take full control
39:35of the investment.
39:36Not a problem.
39:43So you start with it?
39:47That's why he's supporting you,
39:48isn't it?
39:52Is this how you see me?
39:54The type of woman
39:54who would use her body
39:55to get what she wants?
39:56What other explanation
39:57do you have?
39:59You know nothing
40:00about Dorothy.
40:04Apologize to Stephanie,
40:06cut ties with Mr. Bennett
40:06and end this.
40:08Dorothy, come back to me.
40:09Whatever he's offering you,
40:10I'll match it.
40:10I'll double it.
40:12You must be out of your fucking mind.
40:15What makes you think
40:16I would ever go back
40:17to that living hell?
40:19Living hell?
40:19You heard me.
40:20Being married to you
40:22was a fucking nightmare.
40:24You made me believe
40:26you loved me.
40:28And then you had me waiting
40:29in vain
40:29for three years, Drake.
40:32You said you'd always protect me,
40:33but then when I need you the most,
40:36you just turned your back on me.
40:38You chose your sister-in-law
40:40over your wife.
40:44I've had enough, Drake.
40:46You were my prison.
40:47So just go back
40:48to your precious Stephanie.
40:54Let's just go.
41:05Why are you hurt?
41:06Are you okay?
41:14What are you, Steph?
41:15What are you doing?
41:15You want me, don't you?
41:17Just kiss me.
41:18I'm all yours.
41:19Steph!
41:20You're Nick's wife.
41:21I've always thought of you
41:22like a sister.
41:23Sister?
41:25Funny.
41:26Don't you remember
41:27when you came to me
41:28the night Nick and I got married?
41:29Don't you remember
41:30what you said?
41:32Remember this?
41:33Yeah.
41:34Wanna marry Stephanie.
41:37God.
41:37You were practically
41:38begging me not to marry Nick.
41:39Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
41:40I shouldn't have said that.
41:41I don't see.
41:44What's that?
41:46Oh, it's nothing.
41:47What is that?
41:48No, Drake, no.
41:49Please.
41:52You lied about this.
41:56You lied about this.
42:00You said that Dorothy
42:02pushed you into the water,
42:03but this shows you
42:03shoving her in.
42:05It's a glitch.
42:07A glitch.
42:09So, do you actually
42:09expect me to believe that?
42:12What's this?
42:14Buying pills off the black market?
42:17Does anyone hit your pregnancy?
42:19It's you.
42:21This time when you blamed Dorothy
42:22like some sort of scapegoat
42:23and she was innocent
42:24the whole time.
42:25Drake, please, no.
42:26You have to believe me.
42:27I didn't...
42:28Do you know what?
42:28I've always thought of you
42:29like a sister.
42:31I've always taken care of you.
42:32I even thought that I loved you once,
42:33but that was before
42:34you were Nick's wife.
42:37You've changed.
42:42You've changed.
42:44You're not the person
42:45I thought you were.
42:48I only looked after you
42:49because I thought it was my duty
42:50as Nick's brother
42:51to look after his widow.
42:53I guess there's no need
42:55to look after you anymore, huh?
42:57What does that mean?
42:58Are you just going to
43:00throw me away?
43:01I'm not going to throw you away,
43:03but this is my house.
43:06When I'm back,
43:07I hope you'll be gone.
43:09But you can't just
43:10walk away from me like that.
43:11I've said everything
43:11that I need to say.
43:13Now I'm going to go find
43:13the person that I actually
43:14care about.
43:20Dorothy,
43:21this is all your fault.
43:26Let's take this bitch down.
43:36Let's take this bitch down.
43:41Dorothy,
43:41please.
43:46No.
43:48I was wrong.
43:51I misunderstood
43:52everything about you
43:53and about us.
43:57Can you please
43:58just hear me out?
43:59You think you can
44:01just come here
44:01and apologise?
44:03After everything?
44:04I didn't mean
44:05to hurt you.
44:07Look,
44:08I understand
44:08what I did,
44:09but it was just
44:09because of Stephanie
44:10and anyone.
44:11Could you please
44:12just forgive me?
44:14I don't need
44:15your apology,
44:15Drake.
44:16You let me down.
44:18You abandoned me
44:20when I needed you
44:21the most.
44:23You used me,
44:24manipulated me,
44:25and now you beg
44:27for my forgiveness?
44:29Can't you please
44:29just don't shut me out?
44:31I can fix this.
44:32I can fix it.
44:33I can do anything,
44:34Dorothy, please.
44:36No.
44:38You were never
44:39the person
44:39I thought you were.
44:41And I'm not either.
44:43I've moved on.
44:46I don't need you.
44:51Not like I used to.
44:53It's just not just
44:54it, then.
44:55After everything.
44:56Yeah, that's it.
45:08I deserve better than this.
45:30I did it.
45:37Before you all celebrate
45:38this movie,
45:39there's something
45:40you should know.
45:42Dorothy is nothing
45:43but a homewrecker.
45:44What's going on?
45:46A glorified mistress
45:47who's been playing
45:48the part of a wonderful
45:49actress when all
45:51she's really done
45:51is ruin lives.
45:55Is it true, Dorothy?
45:56Were you involved
45:57with a married man?
45:58What's your response
45:58to Stephanie's claim?
46:03This is ridiculous.
46:05Let's talk about
46:06how she got here.
46:07Shall we?
46:08She didn't get here
46:10off her talent.
46:11Oh, no.
46:12She got here
46:12by clinging
46:13to powerful men.
46:15There's no real experience.
46:17No skill.
46:18Just a man's name
46:19and a man's money.
46:21Security!
46:22Get her out of here!
46:22Wait.
46:23If she has something
46:24to say,
46:25let's hear it.
46:27Dorothy,
46:28it's a trap.
46:29I'm not afraid
46:29of the truth.
46:31Let's see
46:32what she's got.
46:36What's going on?
46:37So tell us, Dorothy.
46:39How did you get here?
46:41Did you use
46:42your relationship
46:43with John Bennett
46:44to land the part?
47:01A homework,
47:02are you saying?
47:03Is there something
47:04wrong with me
47:04appearing with my own dad?
47:06You're the one
47:07who sent me this photo,
47:08right?
47:09How about you take
47:10another one?
47:10This time,
47:11of my lovely family
47:13of three.
47:13Dorothy, Dorothy,
47:14Dorothy.
47:15Are you really
47:16John Bennett's daughter?
47:17Yes.
47:17I bet you never
47:18ask for my last name.
47:20It's Bennett,
47:21by the way.
47:23So, Dorothy
47:24is the producer's
47:25daughter.
47:27Dorothy,
47:27so,
47:28did you use
47:28your father
47:29to get the part?
47:30Uh-huh.
47:31So it's
47:32just nepotism,
47:33then.
47:37Well,
47:38even if she didn't
47:38fuck her way
47:39to the top,
47:40she still only got here
47:40through her connections.
47:42Whether you like it
47:42or not,
47:43my performance
47:44speaks for itself.
47:45And everyone here
47:46saw it.
47:47She was actually
47:47really good.
47:48Yeah,
47:48she handled the mobbing.
47:50Oh,
47:50are you saying
47:51that everyone here
47:51is wrong?
47:52You think you're
47:53so clever,
47:54don't you?
47:55Fine,
47:56you can act
47:57a little bit.
47:58But let's be real,
47:59you didn't land
48:00this role on your own.
48:01You just snapped
48:02your bony little fingers
48:03and let Daddy
48:04give you a role.
48:05How else
48:06would a nobody like you
48:07have landed yourself
48:08the lead otherwise?
48:09Dorothy isn't
48:10just a nobody.
48:13She wrote
48:14Liar's Game.
48:16She is SQ.
48:22Dorothy is SQ.
48:24How can that
48:25be possible?
48:26Liar's Game is a masterpiece.
48:28There's no way
48:28you could have written it.
48:30You don't have to
48:30believe me.
48:32Just let the credit
48:32speak for itself.
48:37How can this be true?
48:40I don't have to.
48:41I still have to be.
48:44Dorothy Bennett,
48:45you're the daughter
48:45of the producer
48:46and the famous writer
48:47SQ.
48:48Why did you keep
48:48your identity
48:49a secret so long?
48:53Why did you keep
48:54your identity
48:54a secret so long?
48:55Stephanie Marsbecker,
48:57Linda Marsbecker
48:57and Ellie Marsbecker,
48:59I'm arresting you
48:59on suspicion of defamation.
49:01No, no, no,
49:01I didn't do anything wrong.
49:03This was all
49:03Stephanie's idea.
49:04I didn't do anything.
49:11This whole time
49:13she was actually
49:14telling the truth.
49:15Dorothy's SQ.
49:18She's genius.
49:20That's why
49:21she always had
49:22a book in her hand.
49:24Always writing
49:26something on her laptop
49:27always lost
49:27in her thoughts.
49:30Didn't even see her.
49:34I guess I was
49:34blind all along.
49:37I don't deserve her.
49:58I've missed this place.
50:01Don't you remember?
50:02Of course I do.
50:04We saw so many films here.
50:06We would just
50:07stay in our seats
50:09and talk
50:11about life
50:11and everything.
50:14But you just
50:14made me feel
50:15like I could face
50:16more anything, really.
50:21God, I used to be
50:22so nervous back then
50:23about everything.
50:25About the future.
50:28But you just
50:29made me feel
50:29like I could face
50:31more anything, really.
50:33Yeah.
50:35Someone had to be there
50:36to make sure
50:36you didn't
50:36overthink everything.
50:38I remember you used
50:39to unpick
50:40every little detail
50:41like it was
50:41a life or death
50:42situation.
50:47You know, Dorothy,
50:51life's not been
50:51the same without you.
50:55even when we
50:56parted ways
50:57I
50:58I always knew
50:59that we would
51:00find each other again.
51:03I don't care
51:04what we've been through.
51:06I don't care
51:07what's happened.
51:08All I know
51:10is that I need you now
51:14more than ever.
51:17I don't care
51:29and the award
51:31for best adapted
51:32screenplay
51:33goes to
51:33Dorothy Bennett
51:35with Liar's Game.
51:39Wow.
51:41Best screenplay.
51:43Shall I start
51:44calling you
51:44Your Majesty?
51:45I think that's
51:46a great idea.
51:48Why don't we start
51:48now?
51:50You deserve this.
51:52Your Majesty.
51:54Every bit of it.
51:56Now,
51:58since you won
51:59I think there's
52:00cause for a reward.
52:01Oh yeah?
52:05And what would
52:06that be?
52:08Me.
