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