00:00:00At that moment, I had no idea the gallery's grand opening would also be the beginning of my worst betrayal.
00:00:12I am the best nude painter in New York, and no one has bought my works today.
00:00:17It's a bunch of fucking bullshit!
00:00:18Be patient, Paolo. I'm sure there will be someone who will appreciate your work.
00:00:24Patience is for losers.
00:00:30I'm going to go take a nap in the office.
00:00:34Don't wake me up, unless it's important, sweetie.
00:00:43For God's sake, Joanne, you're handling his exhibition while he slacks off?
00:00:48Reality check, your husband's a total jerk.
00:00:51Paolo has a bit of an ego, but he loves me.
00:00:58It's your stupid wife.
00:01:00We can celebrate your exhibition.
00:01:01Don't bring up Joanne.
00:01:03I can't even get it up for that perfect brood.
00:01:05When are you going to divorce that old hag?
00:01:07I've been in talks with Skycrest's agent, and if this works, we're going to make a fortune.
00:01:13And then Paolo can focus on his art full time.
00:01:16I can't stand how she bosses me around.
00:01:18When this Skycrest exhibit is over, and I get my cut, I'm going to dump that wrinkly old mother's ranch
00:01:24at me.
00:01:24Whoa!
00:01:26Ah!
00:01:29Oh Paolo!
00:01:31Fuck me, Lauren!
00:01:32Oh my God!
00:01:36Joanne!
00:01:36No!
00:01:37No!
00:01:37It's not what you think!
00:01:39I am out there busting my ass, and you're in here fucking my secretary!
00:01:43The two of you are fucking disgusting!
00:01:51Enough, Joanne!
00:01:53This is pathetic!
00:01:55If you even looked in the mirror, you're practically menopausal.
00:01:59Paolo deserves better.
00:02:00I want a divorce.
00:02:03I don't even have to think twice.
00:02:06You're nothing without me!
00:02:08You're just a bitter aging woman.
00:02:13I can't believe it's taken me this long to know the real you.
00:02:17I'm a woman.
00:02:30I'm here.
00:02:30Where are you?
00:02:49Are you okay?
00:02:51I just had the worst day of my life.
00:02:55How can someone carry so much pain, but still be so beautiful?
00:02:59Alan, you just missed my friend. She's an amazing curator.
00:03:04I can see that I'd love Tamir when I get the chance.
00:03:08Just don't tell her who I am, please.
00:03:10I get it. Gotta keep it mysterious, Sky Quest. Big famous artist.
00:03:17You know, Lily, I haven't had sex in two years.
00:03:22Paula was always too busy.
00:03:24But really, he was too busy fucking my skinky secretary, Sue.
00:03:29Enough about that cheating. No life.
00:03:33All old men do is take advantage of young women.
00:03:36I mean, just look at both our husbands.
00:03:38Age gap relationships are always a disaster.
00:03:46You see? Your son checks in on you.
00:03:49Yeah, he is a sweet boy.
00:03:50I'm gonna die alone.
00:03:52I just hope he ends up with someone his own age.
00:03:54I mean, if he ends up with an older woman, I might just have to kill him, bitch.
00:03:59I don't blame you.
00:04:00Most older women are like me.
00:04:02Hot messes.
00:04:03The cheating husbands.
00:04:05Listen, girl.
00:04:06Priority number one.
00:04:08Protect your money.
00:04:09That's why I've found you the best divorce lawyer.
00:04:13And I hear he's a total hottie, too.
00:04:16So, even if you can't agree on his speech,
00:04:19At least you might get a little flitted a bit.
00:04:23Oh my god, you are so cringe.
00:04:26Bathroom break.
00:04:28Your lawyer will be your son.
00:04:32God.
00:04:32God.
00:04:37The woman I met at the gallery.
00:04:40I didn't expect to see you here.
00:04:44And I didn't expect you to be so...
00:04:49Young.
00:04:58Whoa.
00:04:59Are all divorce slayers such good kissers?
00:05:03No, you had it mixed up.
00:05:04Anyway, I'm Joanne.
00:05:07Alan.
00:05:09Hi.
00:05:10Let me get us another round.
00:05:12I need some liquid courage before I talk about my divorce.
00:05:16Okay.
00:05:24What are you applying to just ruin my fucking shirt?
00:05:28I'll pay for it.
00:05:30Just take a check and leave me alone.
00:05:32That'll be 2,000 bucks.
00:05:34For a shirt?
00:05:35What?
00:05:36What, is it pay your taxes and clean your house, too?
00:05:38Relax, kid. I'm talking to your mom.
00:05:43Here's 10 grand.
00:05:45That's another hundred.
00:05:46So you can stop speaking.
00:05:49Bitch, are you sitting...
00:05:51You wanna take this outside?
00:05:54No.
00:05:57No.
00:05:59Come on.
00:06:00Go, go.
00:06:03Oh my god.
00:06:05Did you really give that bastard money?
00:06:07It was a fake check.
00:06:14You're incredible.
00:06:18Do I really look like your mom?
00:06:20You look beautiful.
00:06:24You're too young to know the difference.
00:06:26You don't know what you're talking...
00:06:27Yeah.
00:06:40You don't know what I'm doing there, too.
00:06:41Right now.
00:06:43Yeah.
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48Yeah.
00:06:49Oh yeah, I know him.
00:06:52You're too young for me.
00:06:54You sure? Because you couldn't be anywhere right now.
00:06:58Oh, I just want you inside me.
00:07:18Shit! I brought my lawyer to Lily's house? How drunk was I?
00:07:29I brought her to my mom's place. I bet she'll be cool with it.
00:07:36Where did we go? Now?
00:07:38Oh, come on. We could just stay in and cuddle all day.
00:07:41We cannot be seen here together.
00:07:43She must be worried since the divorce still isn't finalized.
00:07:47Okay, one shower and I'll go.
00:07:57You alright, Joanne?
00:07:59Uh, I'm fine.
00:08:02Shit.
00:08:06Hey!
00:08:09What's up, Lily?
00:08:11Uh, is anybody in there?
00:08:14No.
00:08:16I turned the shower on, but no water came out.
00:08:20But now it's working again.
00:08:22Alright. Um, Paolo called.
00:08:27Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:29Basically, he's coming over and wants to talk about the divorce.
00:08:34Great!
00:08:38My husband's out of space.
00:08:39We gotta go.
00:08:40Right now.
00:08:41Come on.
00:08:43What do you mean?
00:08:44Come, come, come.
00:08:51You know, you drive me off there and my mom never did.
00:08:55I'm kidding.
00:08:56I'm kidding.
00:08:59Joanne, I really like you.
00:09:02I really like you too.
00:09:06Which is why we needed to go like five minutes ago.
00:09:09If Paolo finds out, I lose everything in the divorce.
00:09:12And you lose your license.
00:09:14Right about that.
00:09:16I'm not a lawyer.
00:09:21Thank God.
00:09:23I should have known.
00:09:24No real lawyer or so not.
00:09:31Who the hell are you?
00:09:40Uh, Paolo.
00:09:42You must be Lily's kid.
00:09:44Right?
00:09:45Shit, you're really grown up, man.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51Genius.
00:09:52He can just pretend to be Lily's son.
00:09:55Uh, Alan.
00:09:56Her son.
00:10:00Anyway, what's the matter?
00:10:04I don't have time for small talk, so spit it out or I'm leaving.
00:10:10I'm sorry for what I did.
00:10:12I was an idiot!
00:10:16Young girls, they, they're all so shallow!
00:10:21I mean, they're not, they're not beautiful and smart and deep like you are, Joanne.
00:10:27Please!
00:10:32Isn't that her soon-to-be ex-husband?
00:10:35What on earth could they be talking about?
00:10:39Let's, let's start over again.
00:10:41Please!
00:10:41I mean, no press.
00:10:43No lawyers.
00:10:44Okay, just us.
00:10:44We'll sort it out.
00:10:46I'll do anything you want.
00:10:50Therapy?
00:10:51Travel.
00:10:52You name it!
00:10:57I have one condition.
00:11:03And that condition is...
00:11:05Stay the hell away from me.
00:11:08I never want to see your face again.
00:11:11If you leave now, I'll spare you some dignity and make sure the investors remember you in a better light.
00:11:17You win?
00:11:19Keep your mouth shut!
00:11:22And we both win.
00:11:24The news hears about our divorce, we're screwed!
00:11:27I didn't think about that when you're screwing Sue in our gallery.
00:11:31You're making my life hell.
00:11:33I will drag you down with me.
00:11:35Move!
00:11:41None of your goddamn business, kid!
00:11:47Fuck you!
00:11:51You okay?
00:11:52Couldn't be better.
00:11:54Thanks.
00:11:55You sure you don't want me to drive you home?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:58I think you should go too.
00:11:59You know, since this isn't your house.
00:12:03Right.
00:12:04Lily can't know about this right now.
00:12:06I gotta go.
00:12:13Call me.
00:12:18I'll think about it.
00:12:25Alan, where did our visitor go?
00:12:27That guy came by to harass his ex-wife, so I taught him a lesson.
00:12:31Oh.
00:12:31Well, he deserves it.
00:12:33So, about last night, who was the girl you were with?
00:12:38That was Joanne.
00:12:40She was just here, actually.
00:12:43Wait, Joanne?
00:12:47Wait, that girl Joanne.
00:12:48Right, Joanne.
00:12:51Is Alan home?
00:12:52I'm Joanne Mitchell.
00:12:54We met at a party.
00:12:55He's not here.
00:12:57You're dating that Joanne?
00:13:00Is she a little tacky?
00:13:02Not at all, Mom.
00:13:03She's super elegant and classy.
00:13:05I mean, we're practically made for each other.
00:13:08Well, aren't you worried about the age difference?
00:13:10Mom, age doesn't matter when it's real.
00:13:13It was love at first sight.
00:13:16Okay.
00:13:17So, why don't you invite her to my birthday party, then?
00:13:20Okay.
00:13:26Oh, he's too young for me.
00:13:32I'm insane.
00:13:34You got me losing.
00:13:38My heart was drunk.
00:13:40Hello.
00:13:46This is Joanne.
00:13:48Is Alan there?
00:13:49Joanne.
00:13:50Sorry, you have the wrong number.
00:13:52Okay.
00:13:54Joanne!
00:13:55Hey!
00:13:57You're a girlfriend.
00:13:59I hope so.
00:14:01Come on.
00:14:02You're Al Skycrest.
00:14:03The famous artist.
00:14:05No one would say no to you.
00:14:06No one is supposed to know about that.
00:14:09Okay.
00:14:11Hey, what's up?
00:14:12I've been waiting to hear from you all day.
00:14:18Hey.
00:14:19Hey.
00:14:19Hey.
00:14:25It's good to see you.
00:14:27Me too.
00:14:31Look.
00:14:32About that girl on my phone.
00:14:35She's just a friend.
00:14:36Who cares?
00:14:37It's not like I have any say in who you talk to.
00:14:41I want you to care.
00:14:51No, no, no.
00:14:52He can't be proposing to me.
00:14:57What?
00:14:57Are you going?
00:15:03A locket.
00:15:06That is so sweet.
00:15:10It's empty.
00:15:11We'll fill it soon.
00:15:13But right now,
00:15:14I have something more important in mind.
00:15:27You know this artist?
00:15:28This is my favorite.
00:15:30This is Al Skycrest.
00:15:31His work is just...
00:15:33bold.
00:15:34It's...
00:15:35beautiful.
00:15:36But there's still this...
00:15:38this hint of sadness.
00:15:40You can tell he's been through a lot.
00:15:43He's sensitive.
00:15:46That was...
00:15:47really insightful, Joanne.
00:15:50Do you know how special you are to me?
00:16:03Shit!
00:16:04Shit!
00:16:05I'm late for Lily's birthday party!
00:16:10I actually have someone to be...
00:16:13Would you want to come with me?
00:16:15I'd love to, but...
00:16:16I have dinner plans with my best friend.
00:16:18It's actually her birthday today.
00:16:21I'm gonna go get ready.
00:16:42What a coincidence!
00:16:44Yeah!
00:16:45Maybe we're heading to the same place.
00:16:48Oh!
00:16:49Hi!
00:16:51What a coincidence!
00:16:54Hmm...
00:16:57Long time no see, young man.
00:16:59How have you been lately?
00:17:00He didn't even acknowledge Lily.
00:17:02For a second, I actually thought he was her son.
00:17:04It's so ridiculous.
00:17:08Is this how you best your confidence?
00:17:10By screwing some minor?
00:17:14Are you okay?
00:17:15What did you just say to her?
00:17:16I'm okay.
00:17:21No wonder he couldn't get hard for you.
00:17:23He told me everything.
00:17:25How you went to his office and begged for him to take you back.
00:17:29Listen up.
00:17:30He's mine now.
00:17:31Leave my man alone, Grandma.
00:17:35Nice diamond bracelets.
00:17:37Wow.
00:17:37It looks like someone's still using my money to spoil their mistress before our assets are officially split.
00:17:43Bullshit.
00:17:44Pals loaded.
00:17:45You were begging him for money for years.
00:17:48Max out those credit cards while you can.
00:17:50After this phone call, they will be nothing but plastic.
00:17:54Grandma's having another delusional episode.
00:17:56Hi, Mike.
00:17:57I don't have time for this.
00:17:59Miss, the total for your hotel balcony and lunch comes to $4,000.
00:18:05It went through.
00:18:09Full of shit just like I thought, Grandma.
00:18:15Lie to me all you want.
00:18:17My cards are as good as gold.
00:18:19What?
00:18:20I'm sorry, miss.
00:18:21It looks like the card only covered the lunch.
00:18:24Could you swipe it again, please?
00:18:34Are you serious?
00:18:36Your stupid machine must be broken.
00:18:38Oh, should I call security?
00:18:40It looks like someone's trying to dine and dash.
00:18:43You old witch.
00:18:44You hacked my cards.
00:18:45Give me my money back.
00:18:49You evil bitch.
00:18:51You'll pay for this.
00:18:52No.
00:18:58Who the hell are you?
00:19:01Stay out of this.
00:19:04Enjoy your cake.
00:19:15Nice aim back there.
00:19:17Thanks.
00:19:18Who was that anyway?
00:19:19Oh, her?
00:19:20Just some woman my husband cheated on me with.
00:19:24Thanks for stepping in.
00:19:25Anytime.
00:19:42Oh, God.
00:19:53Oh, God.
00:19:57Sorry.
00:19:59Don't mind me.
00:20:01Mom couldn't see us.
00:20:03Lily couldn't see us.
00:20:04She's not wearing her glasses today.
00:20:06I should go.
00:20:07My friend's waiting for me at the hotel.
00:20:09What?
00:20:20This must be Lily's son.
00:20:22Makes sense.
00:20:23Good skin.
00:20:25Polite.
00:20:25But terrible fashion sense.
00:20:28There you are.
00:20:29Hi.
00:20:29You must have met my son.
00:20:31I texted him to meet you at the door.
00:20:32Yep.
00:20:33He seems like a real gentleman.
00:20:35I'm glad to hear it.
00:20:36He's making his mom proud.
00:20:38Oh, so how'd it go with the lawyer?
00:20:41I'm kind of seeing him.
00:20:43What?
00:20:45But actually, the guy I thought was the lawyer wasn't.
00:20:49So, I got it mixed up at first.
00:20:52Wait.
00:20:52Tell me everything.
00:20:54What's his name?
00:20:57His name's Al.
00:20:57So this is what you're doing now?
00:20:59Telling everyone that you slept with some younger guy?
00:21:03Hey.
00:21:04What the hell are you doing?
00:21:05What did I tell you about keeping my divorce quiet?
00:21:08So now Sue tells me that you're already screwing some other guy?
00:21:11Do you want this in the tabloids?
00:21:14Do you seriously not understand how badly this could go for us?
00:21:18Skycrest is something like moody little genius.
00:21:21I mean, he catches wind at any kind of drama like this.
00:21:23He'll pull out of our exhibition.
00:21:25Alan, go after them.
00:21:26Go help her, please.
00:21:27It's okay.
00:21:29Now you care.
00:21:30I just spent a month in Switzerland buttering up Skycrest's agent while you were busy fucking your side piece.
00:21:36The only reason this exhibition exists is because of me.
00:21:41I know, Sue.
00:21:45Who's my main contact for the upcoming exhibition?
00:21:49Joanne.
00:21:50Right, I thought so.
00:21:51Don't give my number to anyone else except for Joanne.
00:21:59How's this?
00:22:00You give me Skycrest agent's contact.
00:22:03You can just sit back and collect your cut.
00:22:06Sure.
00:22:07Give me 50% of the shares in your company and I might consider it.
00:22:12Fucking out of your mind.
00:22:14I don't even need you to get to Skycrest.
00:22:16I can get to him myself.
00:22:18You.
00:22:19Convince Skycrest.
00:22:21In your dreams.
00:22:24What now?
00:22:25You're here to play knight in shining armor?
00:22:27Beat it, you little punk.
00:22:29Give me that phone!
00:22:30I'll call him myself!
00:22:36Lay one more finger on her and I swear to God you'll regret it.
00:22:47You'll regret this!
00:22:51What?
00:23:02Tonight?
00:23:03Shouldn't we show that bitch Joanne who's in charge?
00:23:07Don't worry.
00:23:08Joanne's already out.
00:23:13Why can't I get into the gallery?
00:23:16Security says I don't have access.
00:23:20You're out sweetheart.
00:23:21This is not the time for you and your little lap dog to be barking at me.
00:23:25Honey, you're just too emotional.
00:23:28That's why you should let Paolo handle these things.
00:23:33Alan?
00:23:36What are you doing here?
00:23:37You can go.
00:23:38I can handle this.
00:23:39Speak of the devil.
00:23:42It's okay.
00:23:43I might be able to help.
00:23:44It's not as simple as it seems.
00:23:45This investor is a big name.
00:23:47I got this.
00:23:49Hey.
00:23:50This table's for adults only.
00:23:52Get the fuck out of here little boy.
00:23:57Huh?
00:23:58Text your mommy to come pick you up?
00:24:00You might want to get that.
00:24:02To be important.
00:24:10Yes?
00:24:11Uh, yes sir?
00:24:12No, I hadn't realized that she had.
00:24:16Understood.
00:24:21Is something wrong?
00:24:26Joanne stays on as exhibition director.
00:24:33Either you two keep pretending to be the perfect married couple,
00:24:37or you're out.
00:24:39Period.
00:24:39Didn't you just say that you're making me the exhibition director?
00:24:42Why are you backing up?
00:24:44Shut up.
00:24:45These are Al Skycrest's orders.
00:24:48We're doing this.
00:24:49Or he's pulling out.
00:24:52Looks like someone has a very powerful ally.
00:25:04Well?
00:25:07What?
00:25:08I've never met Al Skycrest.
00:25:10Why would he help me?
00:25:11Well, maybe you heard you're a professional curator.
00:25:15Who did you just text?
00:25:18I know people on Al Skycrest's team.
00:25:20I just, you know, delivered a message that...
00:25:23Or maybe you're actually...
00:25:26Al Skycrest.
00:25:33So you do know Al Skycrest?
00:25:37Well, I know his Asian.
00:25:39We're very, very close friends.
00:25:41Play your cards right, and you might just get Al Skycrest's best piece at your art exhibit.
00:25:45And you're not bluffing.
00:25:47Not when it comes to you.
00:25:51Cheers.
00:26:07Alan?
00:26:07What?
00:26:10Geez, okay.
00:26:11What are you fighting on the girl?
00:26:13Worse.
00:26:14An unfinished one.
00:26:19That watch...
00:26:20Looks so familiar.
00:26:24Mom, what? I'm working.
00:26:26It's nothing.
00:26:27It's nothing.
00:26:27I'm just looking forward to this new piece.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Okay.
00:26:52Mom, what are you doing?
00:26:53Mom!
00:26:54This is private.
00:26:55I didn't, I swear.
00:26:57I didn't...
00:26:57I don't show anyone my unfinished work.
00:26:59Not even you.
00:27:00Come on.
00:27:01Alan?
00:27:02What are you doing?
00:27:02Wait.
00:27:03I didn't mean to.
00:27:05He's never shut me out like this.
00:27:07But I guess he's not a little boy anymore.
00:27:10He's got his own secrets now.
00:27:12You know, his dad was 20 years older than me.
00:27:17I thought I could handle it, but it turns out age doesn't stop a man from going for a younger
00:27:23woman.
00:27:24Listen, I'm sorry.
00:27:26I just want Alan to find someone his age, settle down, and have the kind of happiness I never got.
00:27:37I shouldn't have shouted at mom like that.
00:27:40I should apologize.
00:27:48Hello?
00:27:51You see my mom and Joanne?
00:27:56Alan?
00:28:07Hey!
00:28:08Funny timing.
00:28:09I was just talking about you.
00:28:11I'm at dinner.
00:28:12Who are you having dinner with?
00:28:13My best friend, Lily.

00:28:36I should get my eyes checked.
00:28:39He definitely saw me.
00:28:41Was he embarrassed to be seen with me?

00:49:35Alan?
00:49:36Alan?
00:49:37Alan, hey!
00:49:38Alan, wake up!
00:49:40Alan!
00:49:41Alan!
00:50:01You're awake.
00:50:03Oh god, you scared the hell out of me last night.
00:50:06I don't even remember anything.
00:50:10Holy shit, I didn't do anything stupid, did I?
00:50:13I called Dr. Smith.
00:50:16You know, you were drugged.
00:50:18Roofied.
00:50:22I only had a few beers.
00:50:26And then Mindy gave me a cocktail
00:50:27and then everything after that was blank.
00:50:30Mindy called me from your phone last night
00:50:33and said you were in bed together.
00:50:35No.
00:50:36No, Drian, I would never do that to you.
00:50:39She probably drugged me.
00:50:41Lied to hurt you.
00:50:43It's okay.
00:50:44Whatever's going on between the two of you
00:50:45is...
00:50:46It's none of my business anymore.
00:50:48There's nothing going on...
00:50:51Lily is my best friend.
00:50:54And...
00:50:54I can't hurt her.
00:50:58Okay, well at least come with me
00:50:59to see if we can make it better.
00:51:04Okay.
00:51:08Lily.
00:51:09Look, I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I really didn't mean to...
00:51:16Alan, Lily invited me over for dinner.
00:51:19You know you've got some nerve showing up here.
00:51:21Get the hell out of my house.
00:51:23Hey, what's going on here?
00:51:25Oh, Lily, you scared me.
00:51:27Ask her what she did.
00:51:28She drugged me.
00:51:30Alan!
00:51:30You shouldn't have used me like that.
00:51:32I'm not just some stand-in for Joanne!
00:51:35What?
00:51:38He was drunk.
00:51:39He forced himself on me.
00:51:42If I had pushed him away at the time, I'd...
00:51:45Mom?
00:51:47Joanne?
00:51:48I would never do something like that.
00:51:49I swear.
00:51:50I swear!
00:51:51I think it's best you leave.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:58Take one more step and you're no longer my son.
00:52:06It's all because of that bitch.
00:52:08What did she just say?
00:52:11I mean...
00:52:12She's just so unfair to both of you.
00:52:31Sue, right?
00:52:32You said you had some dirt on that bitch, Joanne.
00:52:35Damn right.
00:52:37You were cold, Alan.
00:52:39So don't blame me for playing dirty.
00:52:50I miss you, Joanne.
00:52:51Please, can we just talk?
00:52:53Alan, I think we need to end things for real this time.
00:53:06Can we meet just one last time?
00:53:08Just once?
00:53:15I'm sorry, Alan.
00:53:16This relationship was never meant to be.
00:53:19It's only bringing pain.
00:53:21To me.
00:53:22To you.
00:53:23To Lily.
00:53:24We were ignited by mistake.
00:53:27And now, it's time to put the fire out.
00:53:36I know there have been all kinds of rumors swirling, suggesting that Skycrest might not attend our power exhibition.
00:53:46I'm here to confirm that after my continued efforts, Skycrest will be joining us.
00:53:58Skycrest is here.
00:54:16Skycrest, you're known for never showing your face in public.
00:54:19Why attend this event in person?
00:54:21Well, I'm here for someone.
00:54:23Is it true you're dating someone?
00:54:25No.
00:54:25Not yet.
00:54:26She hasn't said yes.
00:54:28But I'll wait.
00:54:29However long it takes.
00:54:34Your little boyfriend is quite romantic, isn't he?
00:54:38You know what?
00:54:38I would actually like a word with Joanne, the director of this art exhibition, if you don't mind.
00:54:56Hello.
00:55:02Do you know how to film the race in person?
00:55:05Sorry.
00:55:06I've been with Joanne, the actor of this art exhibition, if you don't mind about it.
00:55:06Don't mind.
00:55:09I'm looking for you.
00:55:09I'm looking for you.
00:55:11You're wondering how to film the film.
00:55:12yourself to the entire team. It's not romantic. It's immature. I don't care. We'll have seaweed
00:55:17more time. From now on, what we have is strictly professional. What we had needs to remain
00:55:24in the past. What? Joanne, I love you. I can't betray my best friend. This needs to end.
00:55:37Joanne.
00:55:51Is it true you're dating someone? No. Not yet. She hasn't said yes. But I'll wait.
00:55:55However long it takes.
00:56:09Mom. I'm sorry for everything.
00:56:16You don't have to say anything, Alan. You're a big artist now. Say whoever you want.
00:56:24Joanne broke up with me.
00:56:26I see.
00:56:28She said that friendship comes first for her, so she never meant to hurt you, Mom.
00:56:52Please, Lily. Can we talk?
00:57:16It's her. It's always been her.
00:57:23Lily, please. Let's talk. I didn't know Alan was your son until Mindy told me. If I'd known
00:57:29earlier, I never would have gone out with him. Mindy.
00:57:42I'll give you ten minutes. Let's talk. Thank you, Lily.
00:57:56Lily. I won't- Save it. Just focus on you not passing out again.
00:58:03I never meant to hurt you, Lily. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be friends again.
00:58:09Alan. Even if I tell you to stay away from my son?
00:58:19She really does love Alan.
00:58:21All right, then.
00:58:24Listen to this. Someone recorded the three of us arguing. Makes me think that it was on purpose.
00:58:37It has to be Paolo.
00:58:39I'm putting an end to this right now.
00:58:41I won't let him ruin my life.
00:58:48Ma?
00:58:49I thought I heard Joanne's voice. Where is she?
00:58:51Yeah, she was just here.
00:58:54She went to go look for Paolo.
00:58:56Where is it Paolo?
00:58:57Paolo?
00:59:04Paolo?
00:59:05Joanne?
00:59:06Alan!
00:59:08Looking for Joanne?
00:59:10She's probably meeting her ex-husband. Probably getting remarried.
00:59:14Oh, enough with the lies.
00:59:15She's just using you.
00:59:16The moment she got that partnership with Skycrest,
00:59:19she tossed you aside like trash.
00:59:24Find out who leaked it.
00:59:26No trail, no screw-ups.
00:59:27Go clean this up!
00:59:29Get the fuck out of here!
00:59:32Clap.
00:59:33I'm surprised to see you so worked up about this.
00:59:36I actually thought you were behind this.
00:59:38Are you out of your mind?
00:59:39Why the hell would I sabotage my own exhibition?
00:59:43Because you want to ruin me.
00:59:45And you know how hard I worked on this exhibition.
00:59:47Don't forget who gave you your start, all right?
00:59:49You're an ungrateful bitch.
00:59:51You're an ungrateful bitch.
00:59:52While I was pulling all-nighters designing for your clients,
00:59:56you were outscrewing my assistant in our bed.
00:59:59Don't place this around!
01:00:01I've made mistakes.
01:00:02Sure.
01:00:02Fine.
01:00:03But we were good together.
01:00:05Imagine.
01:00:06You and me again?
01:00:07We would be unstoppable.
01:00:13Get the hell away from me.
01:00:14Are you okay?
01:00:15Did he try anything?
01:00:16Did he hurt you?
01:00:17No.
01:00:17Paolo and I were having a private conversation.
01:00:20You should go.
01:00:21Joanne, wait.
01:00:22Just come with me.
01:00:22I'll talk to my mom.
01:00:25I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be friends again.
01:00:28Even if I tell you to stay away from my son?
01:00:33Actually, I've decided to give Paolo another chance.
01:00:39You're concerned getting back with this asshole?
01:00:41He doesn't deserve you, Joanne.
01:00:44Careful, Alan.
01:00:45I'm still the man she's married to.
01:00:46And clearly, I still have a better shot than you do.
01:00:51So Mindy was right then.
01:00:53You are getting back together.
01:00:55Mindy.
01:00:58Believe Mindy then.
01:01:01We're getting back together.
01:01:13Congrats, Joanne.
01:01:15You two are the perfect match.
01:01:18Great taste in art.
01:01:19And no awkward age gap.
01:01:23You can both leave now.
01:01:30I can't wait to put a ring on your finger again.
01:01:34Don't flatter yourself.
01:01:36You're not even close.
01:01:51Joanne's back with Paolo.
01:01:54Alan's devastated.
01:01:55You heard her say that?
01:01:57She tossed him like trash the moment she landed the Skycrest partnership.
01:02:01What a cruel woman.
01:02:03Aunt Lily.
01:02:04I'll take care of Alan.
01:02:16I'll take care of Alan.
01:02:17Oh!
01:02:20Mindy.
01:02:21Can we chat for a moment?
01:02:31Aunt Lily?
01:02:33Honestly, I really wish you were Alan's girlfriend.
01:02:37Really?
01:02:39Auntie Lily?
01:02:40Yeah.
01:02:41Joanne's delusional.
01:02:43She's like twice his age.
01:02:45Oh, I really want that woman just out of my life for good.
01:02:47Oh.
01:02:49I could help you get rid of Joanne, Auntie Lily.
01:02:52You know, if only we had something like that humiliating video that went viral.
01:03:00Funny that you mention it.
01:03:02That video?
01:03:03I made it.
01:03:06Joanne never deserved Alan.
01:03:08She's been using him this whole time.
01:03:09Finally, I found the person trying to ruin my son's reputation.
01:03:15Now, I just need a plan to stop her.
01:03:25Mom, why the hell is she here?
01:03:28And what the hell were you two talking about?
01:03:30She brought you home.
01:03:31You should thank her.
01:03:33We had a nice chat.
01:03:34I really want her to be my future daughter-in-law.
01:03:42Also, I'm thinking we should all go to your art exhibition's opening.
01:03:45I want you to pull the plug on your deal with Joanne and sign with Mindy instead.
01:03:50That's bullshit.
01:03:51She's been lying to you, Mom.
01:03:53Sweetheart, why don't you go back home now?
01:03:55Let me talk some sense into Alan.
01:03:59Mom, what are you doing?
01:04:01Mom, what are you doing?
01:04:02I know Mindy's up to something.
01:04:04Just play along.
01:04:09Joanne, any comment on the rumors?
01:04:11You and Skycrest, is it serious?
01:04:13I'd really appreciate if we could keep the attention on the exhibition today.
01:04:21Joanne's right.
01:04:23Art should be the headlines of it.
01:04:25As for our relationship,
01:04:28we're strictly professional.
01:04:37Joanne, rumor has it you and Pal are just business partners now.
01:04:41Any truth to the breakup?
01:04:43Paolo, is it true?
01:04:45As you can see, we're still...
01:04:46Exactly.
01:04:47We're still very much a team, both in business and in life.
01:04:56Joanne, I've got a big opening present for you.
01:05:00What a joke!
01:05:03You two?
01:05:04A couple?
01:05:05Don't make me laugh.
01:05:07Joanna isn't some charming girl boss.
01:05:10She's a washed-up husband who sleeps her way into partnerships.
01:05:14She sedutes Skycrest like she always does,
01:05:17with that fake grace and those tired, old tricks.
01:05:30This is me being gentle with my ex's mistress.
01:05:34The homewrecker.
01:05:35Get out!
01:05:37Paolo, are you just gonna stand there while this bitch humiliates me?
01:05:41Don't make a scene.
01:05:42Go fresh enough and we'll talk somewhere else, okay?
01:05:49We are done!
01:05:50You are a squareless douche!
01:05:52No, baby, baby!
01:05:53Come on, we can work it out!
01:05:55Useless.
01:05:59You dirty, manipulative tramp!
01:06:02Playing the victim while assaulting others in public?
01:06:05You don't deserve to be up there.
01:06:07You need to get your filthy ass out of here right now!
01:06:11You can press charges,
01:06:13but I'll sue for defamation and invasion of privacy.
01:06:17See my private investigator?
01:06:20Traced the viral video and you and Sue leaked it.
01:06:26They even tracked the IP address.
01:06:29This is solid proof.
01:06:30Yeah, it was me.
01:06:33Yeah, it was me.
01:06:33So what?
01:06:34Your little circus act ends right here.
01:06:37You are no longer directing the Skycrest Exhibition.
01:06:41Says who?
01:06:43Skycrest himself.
01:06:52You are no longer qualified to be the director of the Skycrest Exhibition.
01:06:59I'm sorry for everything, John.
01:07:02Say it.
01:07:02Tell her she's out, Alan.
01:07:04Alan?
01:07:05Scared now?
01:07:06Too late?
01:07:07Hold on.
01:07:13Before I name my new director,
01:07:16I'd like to give her a special gift.
01:07:20A painting.
01:07:30Is this some kind of joke?
01:07:32No joke.
01:07:33This is the woman I'm deeply in love with.
01:07:38You played me.
01:07:40Played you.
01:07:41There's no room for lies in love.
01:07:44You and Sue both spread false, horrendous lies about us.
01:07:47They'll both be hearing from our lawyers.
01:07:49Alan, please.
01:07:51I did it all for you.
01:07:52Then you never really knew me.
01:07:54With Joanne by my side,
01:07:56I can keep creating a Skycrest.
01:07:58She's my muse.
01:08:00My truth.
01:08:01My truth.
01:08:03My truth.
01:08:10What are you going to call it?
01:08:13Friends.
01:08:15Because that's where all love starts.
01:08:16You and Sue.
01:08:20I'm human.
01:08:22Because that's where you'll be.
01:08:23First Thanks.
