Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I want us to be together.
00:00:02You know, I want to do a role that, you know, means something to people.
00:00:06I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him.
00:00:15Mitch!
00:00:16I mean, fuck, Claire, just don't test my patience, alright?
00:00:18Hey, I'm sorry.
00:00:24Claire, wait.
00:00:26I'm giving you a little baby girl.
00:00:27I'm gonna call the cops.
00:00:29Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:00:31Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're gonna keep that baby.
00:00:33You can't force Mitch to have a baby with you, okay?
00:00:37Mitch, I love you.
00:00:39Mitch!
00:00:42Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:00:44God, that guy is such a bleach.
00:00:47Maybe Mitch will tell me to go with him.
00:00:51No, Mitch would never do that to me.
00:00:53Tell me that this is a lie.
00:00:54I swear if that's true, I will go to the press and I will tell them everything.
00:00:59Watch.
00:01:00You ain't even threatened him.
00:01:02She threatened Mitch.
00:01:04Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:01:06You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:01:10You think that I ever loved you?
00:01:12You're nothing to me.
00:01:14You're worthless, you're shit on my sheets.
00:01:17I've been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years.
00:01:31And I have the perfect plan.
00:01:34Hey, babe.
00:01:35Hey.
00:01:36How you doing?
00:01:38How was your day?
00:01:39Good.
00:01:40I handed in that audition for that role I told you about.
00:01:43Yeah?
00:01:44Yeah.
00:01:45Hope I book it.
00:01:46Well, if you did a good job, you book it.
00:01:48That's how it works.
00:01:49I know.
00:01:50I just haven't booked anything for a while and, you know,
00:01:53it's been really, really difficult lately to even get a call back.
00:01:58Well, I did offer you a few roles, but you didn't want to.
00:02:02Yeah, but I don't want to do those type of roles, babe.
00:02:04You know, like I want to do a role where I'm telling a story and, you know,
00:02:09I'm not just showing my body.
00:02:11It's a shame, though, because it's a hell of a body.
00:02:14Yeah, but I don't want to flirt or, you know,
00:02:19use my sexuality to get to the top.
00:02:22I want them to cast me because of my acting skills.
00:02:25Yeah, but that's not how showbiz works, baby.
00:02:27Pretty little thing like you, you know,
00:02:29you've got to sweet talk your way to the top.
00:02:32Those acting skills alone are not going to be enough.
00:02:35No, I'm not going to flirt my way to the top.
00:02:38Plus I'm committed to you.
00:02:41So why can't you put me in your movies?
00:02:44Because the kind of movies that I'm producing you are not right for.
00:02:50Hmm.
00:02:52We've talked about this.
00:02:54I know.
00:02:55I just feel like there's nothing going right in my life right now.
00:03:02Anyway, I got you something.
00:03:05Yeah.
00:03:07And I'm sure it's beautiful, but do you know what I really want, Mitch?
00:03:13What?
00:03:15I don't want us to hide our relationship anymore, okay?
00:03:18You know, these directors, these producers,
00:03:20they might actually take me seriously if they're not with you.
00:03:23Bullshit.
00:03:24It would make it even worse, if anything.
00:03:26You'd have directors and producers that wouldn't even want to give you
00:03:28an audition because we're together.
00:03:30You don't understand how this industry works like I do.
00:03:34Okay.
00:03:35What if I gave up acting?
00:03:37Well.
00:03:38I would give up acting for you.
00:03:41Yeah, well, it's not really the right time for that.
00:03:43I mean, the way my career is and where I'm at,
00:03:46I can't pursue an official relationship.
00:03:48And to be honest, I can't be seen with a struggling actress either.
00:03:51A struggling actress?
00:03:52Okay, so that's why you don't want to be with me.
00:03:54Great.
00:03:55Now I know.
00:03:57Look, I don't know, all right, but you know what I'm saying.
00:04:00It's just it's not the right time.
00:04:02I mean, fuck, just don't test my patience, all right?
00:04:05Right, all right.
00:04:06I'm sorry.
00:04:07Hey, I'm sorry.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:09Hey, I won't bring it up again.
00:04:12All right, like I said, I got you something.
00:04:16Hey, and it's beautiful.
00:04:24There was one more thing I wanted to talk to you about later.
00:04:28What?
00:04:29You know what?
00:04:32Don't worry about it, okay?
00:04:33Just don't worry.
00:04:34Hey.
00:04:35What is wrong with you today?
00:04:37You're here to make it up to me, aren't you?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41We've been a naughty girl today.
00:04:42Huh?
00:04:48Can I help you?
00:04:49I'm sorry.
00:04:50Can I help you?
00:04:51Sorry, I'm actually a really big fan of Al Gore.
00:04:54Seriously?
00:04:55Well, that's.
00:04:56Yeah, old is gold.
00:04:59Hi.
00:05:00Do you want to have a seat?
00:05:02I'd love to.
00:05:03Hi.
00:05:04I'm Alex.
00:05:05Claire.
00:05:06Lovely to meet you.
00:05:07Nice to meet you.
00:05:08Sorry.
00:05:09It's okay.
00:05:10Sorry about that.
00:05:11So you're a fan of Gore's work?
00:05:14Yeah, I mean, I love all the classics and, you know, come to the library and get to chill
00:05:21out and just escape the world.
00:05:24Yeah, exactly.
00:05:26You know, I'm actually writing a screenplay on this book.
00:05:28Oh, you're a screenplay writer.
00:05:30Wow, that's amazing.
00:05:31Yeah, I write screenplays for a living.
00:05:33Oh, very cool.
00:05:34Screenplay writer.
00:05:35That's it.
00:05:37Very cool.
00:05:38Well, I actually work as an actress.
00:05:40Really?
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:42Wow.
00:05:43Okay.
00:05:44Well, how's that going?
00:05:45That's good, but it's been a bit hard to book work lately.
00:05:49Tell me about it.
00:05:50Yeah, you feel me?
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54No, I'm struggling as well, but I have a feeling that things are going to come around.
00:05:59Yeah, definitely.
00:06:01I mean, I really hope they do.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07What's wrong?
00:06:10Everything all right?
00:06:12Yeah.
00:06:13I don't mean to bring up anything negative, but, you know, just work and then, you know,
00:06:20a problem with my relationship that hasn't been going very smooth lately.
00:06:25That is a lot on my mind.
00:06:28Do you want to talk about it?
00:06:31There's not much to say.
00:06:33I mean, a relationship with a man that doesn't want to be in public with me.
00:06:39Our relationship has to stay secret.
00:06:42Why does it have to be secret?
00:06:44Because of who he is.
00:06:46It'll damage his reputation.
00:06:48Right.
00:06:49He's a producer as well.
00:06:52Who?
00:06:53Do you know Mitch Sterling?
00:06:56You're kidding.
00:06:58It's just, well, I mean, no, I've met the guy a couple of times, but, yeah, I can tell you,
00:07:05I'm not friends with him in any way.
00:07:09No, and to make it worse, I'm actually pregnant.
00:07:14I'm having a little baby girl.
00:07:17Wow.
00:07:19Well, there's a silver lining there, I guess.
00:07:24Does he know about it?
00:07:26I haven't told him yet.
00:07:29I'll be honest with you, I'm actually really scared to tell him.
00:07:32Why?
00:07:34I don't know.
00:07:36I just, I don't think he's going to be very accepting, but I really hope that he's happy
00:07:42and is as excited as I am because, you know, I really can't wait to meet her.
00:07:48Yeah, that's sweet.
00:07:51Yeah, I'm sure he'll come around.
00:07:53He probably just needs time.
00:07:55Yeah, I know, I know.
00:07:58You know what?
00:08:00I love how positive you are.
00:08:02You're beautiful, Alex.
00:08:04Well, thank you.
00:08:05You're not so bad yourself.
00:08:08Yeah, I really needed your company today.
00:08:10This has been lovely.
00:08:13I know we just met, but something tells me we would make really good friends.
00:08:18I think so, too.
00:08:19So, I don't know if we're supposed to cheers coffee, but...
00:08:22Do it.
00:08:24Who cares?
00:08:25Cheers to that.
00:08:27So, I mean, you like books?
00:08:30Yeah, I love books.
00:08:33Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved to read and, you know,
00:08:36escape to this other place other than the real world.
00:08:39After you.
00:08:41Such a gentleman.
00:08:44Wow, this place is beautiful.
00:08:47How did you find it?
00:08:49This place opened up about, like, two years ago, and I was the first customer.
00:08:53I mean, I've been recommending it to people ever since.
00:08:56I can see.
00:08:57Everyone knows you.
00:08:58Yeah, well, I don't know.
00:09:01Books make me feel at home.
00:09:04And like I said, I've been recommending it to everyone.
00:09:07I mean, they probably came in because of me.
00:09:09Probably.
00:09:11No, I know what you mean.
00:09:14I love the smell of books and the texture.
00:09:21No, I just, I wish that Mitch loved books like I do.
00:09:27Come on.
00:09:28Just wait until you see how beautiful the old editions are, okay?
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33Any rereads you wanted to pick up?
00:09:34I'll challenge you to one.
00:09:36Okay.
00:09:38I've had Chekhov on my mind lately.
00:09:41Excellent choice, my lady.
00:09:43I'll be right back.
00:09:44Just, oh, there you go.
00:09:46Take a look at that.
00:09:50Thanks.
00:09:51I bet you're going to have so much to talk about when we next see each other.
00:09:56Alex, I'm sorry to bring it up again, but, you know,
00:10:01I really wish that Mitch would do this type of thing with me.
00:10:06You know, he never takes me anywhere.
00:10:08He's so adamant on our relationship being a secret.
00:10:11Well, I mean,
00:10:14he should at least take you to low profile places like this.
00:10:17Have you ever asked him to?
00:10:21Like a million times?
00:10:22Never listens.
00:10:24I mean, I think most of our time together is, you know,
00:10:28more passionate, more rushed.
00:10:30Sounds fun.
00:10:32Sorry, Alex, I have to take this, okay?
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:53Mitch, hey.
00:10:57No, no.
00:11:00No, I meant to tell you in person.
00:11:03I just, I got really excited and you were busy on set and.
00:11:10Wait, what do you mean?
00:11:14Mitch, come on.
00:11:17Mitch, I love you.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:25I'm so excited.
00:11:26Why don't you come down to a really, really nice bookstore
00:11:29and it would be really lovely for us to speak in person.
00:11:36Mitch, I have loved you.
00:11:38I have stuck by you.
00:11:39I have been there for you.
00:11:42Why are you saying these things?
00:11:49Come on, Mitch, come on, please.
00:11:51I know I'm not going to get rid of the baby.
00:11:55No.
00:11:57I have loved you.
00:11:58Do you remember the first time that we met?
00:12:04Why are you saying these things?
00:12:14No, no, no.
00:12:15Mitch, you just need to come and see me in person, please.
00:12:19We can have a chat, okay?
00:12:20We can work things out.
00:12:21It's not going to ruin your reputation.
00:12:25This baby is going to be beautiful and it's going to be our baby.
00:12:33It's going to be our baby, Mitch, come on.
00:12:37No, no, no.
00:12:40Mitch, don't say that.
00:12:41Don't cut me off.
00:12:44Don't cut me off.
00:12:47Mitch!
00:12:49Mitch!
00:12:52Mitch, please, please, please, can we just have a...
00:13:01Claire, are you doing this?
00:13:03Oh, Jesus.
00:13:04Hey.
00:13:05Hey, are you okay?
00:13:07Come here.
00:13:11Okay.
00:13:14Just calm down, all right?
00:13:15Just take a moment, yeah?
00:13:17Just breathe, okay?
00:13:19You're in?
00:13:21All right, okay.
00:13:24Claire, what happened?
00:13:27I don't believe it, Alex.
00:13:29What?
00:13:31He just...
00:13:33I've been with this man for years.
00:13:36I've stuck by him.
00:13:38I've loved him.
00:13:39I've been with him through everything and he just...
00:13:46He just...
00:13:57What did he say?
00:14:00Claire, what did he say?
00:14:04He said that he wants to abort the baby.
00:14:08He wants me to get rid of it and it's me or my baby.
00:14:16Jesus.
00:14:17It's me.
00:14:19Well, no, I'm sure he's just shocked.
00:14:22Okay?
00:14:23It's a big thing.
00:14:24I mean, he'll come around.
00:14:26I hope so, Alex, because I don't know what to do.
00:14:33I'm a single mum.
00:14:36I don't have barely any acting work.
00:14:39I don't know how I'm going to do this.
00:14:42You'll figure it out, yeah?
00:14:44You'll figure it out.
00:14:45Everything's going to be okay.
00:14:46It's going to be fine.
00:14:48I hope so.
00:14:49You know, I don't want to raise this baby without a father.
00:14:56I want him to be a part of this baby's life, Alex.
00:15:00I want this child to grow up with both of us.
00:15:03You can't force Nash to have a baby with you, okay?
00:15:08You're going to have to give him time to accept this crazy situation.
00:15:13Yeah?
00:15:14I know, but I just thought that we'd have a future together.
00:15:18I know.
00:15:19I love him, Alex.
00:15:21I love him.
00:15:23I really.
00:15:25I thought that, you know, he would pick me over his job.
00:15:30Apparently not.
00:15:33Well, nothing is stopping you from raising this baby on your own, okay?
00:15:39And you know what?
00:15:41It sounds to me like you've made up your mind about who you want to have.
00:15:45Yeah?
00:15:47Nothing is all going to be okay.
00:15:50Exactly.
00:15:51You've got the fundamental thing figured out.
00:15:53Everything else, hey.
00:15:56I'm scared.
00:15:57I'm really scared.
00:16:09I thought we'd have this future together and, you know, he said that apparently it would ruin his reputation.
00:16:18That having a baby, that he's not ready to have kids yet.
00:16:22Did he ever give you a reason for why he's saying all of this?
00:16:27Because he's a big movie director and it's going to ruin everything for him.
00:16:30And he can't have kids and they're too much of a hustle.
00:16:34Okay, well.
00:16:35He said that about our baby.
00:16:39Hey, just stay here.
00:16:43I'll be back.
00:16:44Just, hey, give me a moment, okay?
00:16:48Yeah, you're okay.
00:16:49It was such a good fight.
00:16:51Just, I'll be back.
00:16:53Just give me a minute.
00:16:54Oh, shit.
00:17:08There's this really amazing bakery just around the corner.
00:17:12I was planning to take you there after this, but I guess I had to bring the bakery to you.
00:17:20I really needed this today.
00:17:22I'm really sorry, Alex.
00:17:24I know this was supposed to be a happy outing, right?
00:17:27Don't worry about it.
00:17:28It's life.
00:17:30These things happen to the best of us.
00:17:33You're very kind.
00:17:37You know, this was supposed to be a fun little outing.
00:17:43I'm not worried.
00:17:44It was.
00:17:45Alex, I have had so much fun with you today.
00:17:49No, I felt so much joy until this went down.
00:17:54No, I really haven't felt that much joy in a long time.
00:17:58Come on, I'm sure you're used to Mitch giving you all these amazing things.
00:18:02I know, but I enjoy my time with Mitch, and he does a lot for me,
00:18:08but I enjoy the simple things in life too.
00:18:12Yeah, and Mitch doesn't really understand that.
00:18:18You know what?
00:18:21My birthday is actually soon,
00:18:24and I would love if you would do my birthday tradition with me.
00:18:29A special birthday tradition, eh?
00:18:32Sounds intriguing.
00:18:34Will you come?
00:18:36I might have to.
00:18:39You're the best.
00:18:41Come in.
00:18:44Happy birthday, Chloe.
00:18:49I'm so glad you came.
00:18:50Of course I came.
00:18:51I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:18:52It's your special day.
00:18:54Well, you know, we haven't known each other that long, so I wasn't sure.
00:18:58Look, I don't think that matters, all right?
00:19:00Some people you just click with.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:08Wow, this is a really nice place.
00:19:13Mitch begs for it.
00:19:15He practically pays for everything, so, you know,
00:19:20he told me that I have to keep on the down low about the pregnancy.
00:19:24I can't breathe a word to anyone and to watch out for the press,
00:19:28so I'm kind of stuck here.
00:19:33I'm sorry.
00:19:35We shouldn't talk about you know what?
00:19:39Let's just celebrate your birthday,
00:19:40and you can treat me to the special tradition that you have planned.
00:19:44Oh, yes, I'm going to blow your mind.
00:19:47I'm excited.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50So this is an old family recipe, and it has a special.
00:19:57Ingredient?
00:19:58Mm-hmm.
00:19:59Okay, and what would that be?
00:20:02Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:20:06I know.
00:20:09Like usually I bake this cake every year,
00:20:12and Mitch and I usually celebrate my birthday together.
00:20:15Well.
00:20:18I just I wish that he would, you know, text or call or something.
00:20:22You know, it's my birthday.
00:20:23Well, that's his loss, all right, because this looks amazing.
00:20:33Claire, I know you said no gifts, but I couldn't resist.
00:20:38No, you shouldn't have.
00:20:40I know, I know, I know, but I wanted to, okay?
00:20:44It's your special day, and I wanted to give you something,
00:20:47especially with, you know, everything that's going on,
00:20:50and I just felt like I needed to cheer you up.
00:20:55Thanks.
00:20:58Wow, I wasn't expecting this.
00:21:02It's not much, but.
00:21:07It's beautiful.
00:21:09I love it.
00:21:13Oh, you're the best.
00:21:16Oh, okay.
00:21:17I was really hoping you'd like it.
00:21:19Alex, you know what?
00:21:21You have been such an amazing friend.
00:21:23You know, I only met you a little while ago,
00:21:25and you have been there for me through all of this,
00:21:28and the present, and you're just a beautiful friend.
00:21:34The thing is, like, I can't even confide in my family,
00:21:37so, you know, I'm glad I've got you.
00:21:40Like, not even your mum, nothing?
00:21:42No, I'm not allowed to breathe the word of this to anyone.
00:21:46You know, Mitch says that it will ruin his reputation,
00:21:50it'll ruin our careers, so I don't know.
00:21:53Like, do you think that's true, Alex?
00:21:57I mean, yes, yes, the press sometimes leak things
00:22:03and expose truths that people don't like,
00:22:06but, you know, I think that people shouldn't keep secrets like that
00:22:10and fear them getting exposed.
00:22:13I know, but, you know, Mitch, he practically, as I said,
00:22:17he pays for everything.
00:22:19You know, he's got my house, my car, my clothes, my food,
00:22:24and the only thing that he asks is I keep quiet,
00:22:27so what do I do with that?
00:22:30I'm indebted to him, Alex.
00:22:32He's been really kind to me.
00:22:34OK, so, what, he pays your bills and expects you to stay silent?
00:22:39Yeah, Alex, that's all he asks of me.
00:22:41You know, I'm completely dependent on him.
00:22:43I don't have a staple job, and he's been really kind to me.
00:22:47OK, well, have you thought about getting a staple job?
00:22:50I've gone for 1,000 auditions.
00:22:53No, no-one will give me a chance.
00:22:55No, I don't want to do a role that, you know,
00:22:58I want a role that, you know, impresses people
00:23:02and means something, you know, not showing my body.
00:23:06Yeah, well, that's what you deserve, all right,
00:23:08because you're an amazing actor.
00:23:12Can I tell you something that happened the other day?
00:23:15It's really strange.
00:23:16Yeah?
00:23:17Yes, you can tell me anything.
00:23:18Yeah, so I went for an audition for a role I really wanted,
00:23:22and I booked it.
00:23:23I was so happy.
00:23:25Yeah, I did, I did.
00:23:27But then something really weird happened.
00:23:30What happened?
00:23:32I got dropped.
00:23:36And to this day, like, I still don't understand what happened.
00:23:40I got the news right after I got the phone to Mitch.
00:23:45Wait, so you're saying that they dropped you after you told Mitch?
00:23:48Yeah, and I wanted him to be proud of me, you know.
00:23:50I was going to show him that I was going to make my place in the industry.
00:23:55And I even organized a meeting with the director.
00:23:58Yeah, and what did he say?
00:24:00Not much.
00:24:01You know, he didn't give me anything.
00:24:03And I said, look, I will re-audition.
00:24:05And he saw me on the phone to Mitch, and he just walked away and said,
00:24:09why don't you go do Mitch's projects instead of other people's?
00:24:12Okay, well, do you think that maybe Mitch had something to do with it?
00:24:18No, Mitch would never do that to me.
00:24:20And he believes in me, Alex.
00:24:22He says I have great potential and I'm going to be a great actor one day.
00:24:25So, no.
00:24:26Okay, okay, well, then why doesn't he put you in one of his projects?
00:24:29Because he says that, you know, the roles aren't right for me
00:24:32and that I need to go and work on other people's projects,
00:24:35so I don't get it.
00:24:36What do I do?
00:24:43Who is it?
00:24:44It's Mitch.
00:24:46I knew you wouldn't forget.
00:24:47Hey, baby.
00:24:48How are you?
00:24:50I knew you wouldn't forget my birthday.
00:24:52Oh, my special cake.
00:24:56Mitch, I thought you were ringing up to wish me happy birthday.
00:25:03No.
00:25:05Mitch, no.
00:25:07I have kept this relationship a secret for years, okay?
00:25:12You have no right to ask me to do something like that.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18Mitch, no.
00:25:20Okay?
00:25:21End of discussion.
00:25:22I won't.
00:25:23Okay, I can't.
00:25:25Just leave it, okay?
00:25:27Just leave it.
00:25:28He doesn't deserve to be here, Claire.
00:25:30It's going to be okay, all right?
00:25:32Don't let him ruin your birthday.
00:25:35I just don't get it, Alex.
00:25:37We were in love and he's changed so much.
00:25:43You know, I even said that I'd leave the industry for him.
00:25:46I'd give up my dream.
00:25:47And I thought that one day he might marry me.
00:25:50I just don't get it.
00:25:53And you know what?
00:25:57I know what I'm having.
00:26:01Alex, I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:08Why can't he just want a baby?
00:26:14Claire, you are going to be the most amazing mother, okay?
00:26:24The mother of a beautiful little girl.
00:26:34Do you know what, Alex?
00:26:38I've got a name for her.
00:26:40What is it?
00:26:42I'm going to call her Clara.
00:26:44Do you like it?
00:26:46I love it.
00:26:53Alex.
00:26:54Yeah?
00:26:55How's the screenplay coming along?
00:26:58Yeah, not great.
00:27:01Dude, I'm stuck right now.
00:27:03I really thought that this was going to be the one,
00:27:05but it's just rejection after rejection after rejection.
00:27:11Did you hear back from Liberty Studios?
00:27:13Dude, the screenplay you sent me was a banger.
00:27:15According to them, it's pretentious, controversial,
00:27:19and not sexy enough.
00:27:21Right.
00:27:23Well, I hope your luck turns around soon.
00:27:26It's a tough industry.
00:27:30So have you been on any of Mitch's sets recently?
00:27:34Oh, yeah.
00:27:35No, he's shooting one down at the studio at the moment.
00:27:37Cast Roxanne Amber as the leading lady.
00:27:39You're kidding.
00:27:40No, not at all.
00:27:42Rumour has it that Mitch and her are secretly dating
00:27:45the last couple of months.
00:27:47What do you mean?
00:27:49I mean they've been dating while on the set for the last couple of months.
00:27:54And they're saying that he's going to propose soon.
00:27:58No, there's no way.
00:28:00That would affect the shoot, sure.
00:28:02You think Mitch cares?
00:28:03It's Mitch.
00:28:05Oh, my God, that guy is such a leech.
00:28:09Hey, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
00:28:11Mitch goes through women like he goes through cigars.
00:28:15Right?
00:28:16They won't last long.
00:28:21Well, I guess I'll be going then.
00:28:26The missus and my dog are probably waiting for me back at home.
00:28:30Except you're not married.
00:28:33Well, I am in my mind.
00:28:35That's adorable.
00:28:37Hey, is there anyone you think of that way?
00:28:43There's a certain someone on my mind from time to time.
00:28:50Well, good luck, buddy.
00:28:54I really wasn't in the mood for this today, Mitch.
00:28:57I really just want to stay in bed.
00:28:59Look, I know, but you need some sun and some fresh air, okay?
00:29:04It'll be good for the baby.
00:29:06You can't just stay cooped up inside all day.
00:29:09You want her to be healthy, right?
00:29:11I know.
00:29:12Exactly.
00:29:13You're always right.
00:29:15And look, now that you're here, why don't you look around?
00:29:19Check out some books.
00:29:21Reading is very relaxing.
00:29:22It'll be good for you.
00:29:25Yeah, you're right.
00:29:27All right.
00:29:29Did you want anything?
00:29:30Do you want me to recommend you something good?
00:29:33I think I was feeling Oscar Wilde today.
00:29:37Spectacular.
00:29:38Excellent choice.
00:29:40The Importance of Being Earnest will be your next read,
00:29:44and I'm buying it for you.
00:29:46Sorry.
00:29:49Bye.
00:29:54Claire, wait.
00:29:56So, I'm pregnant with his child, and here's the audacity.
00:30:06Claire, just, all right, just let it go,
00:30:09and we'll look at some books, and we'll go to the bakery afterwards.
00:30:13Do you know about this?
00:30:15Were you hiding this from me, Alex?
00:30:17Is that why you took me here today?
00:30:19Claire, look, just let them be, all right?
00:30:22Just focus on yourself, please.
00:30:24You know what?
00:30:25I trusted you.
00:30:26Claire, Claire, just let him go.
00:30:28Just wait.
00:30:29Claire, wait.
00:30:31Mitch!
00:30:32Mitch, I need to speak to you right now.
00:30:34Firstly, don't come in here screaming at me.
00:30:36Secondly, I said don't come back as long as you're going to keep that baby.
00:30:38What is this, huh?
00:30:40Tell me that this is a lie.
00:30:42For fuck's sake, Claire.
00:30:44I don't know what the press are like.
00:30:45They don't care if something's true.
00:30:46They don't fucking print anything as long as they need to read it.
00:30:48I swear if that's true, I will go to the press,
00:30:51and I will tell them everything.
00:30:53Watch.
00:30:55Hey.
00:30:59Now, listen, sweetheart.
00:31:01You know that I wouldn't do that, right?
00:31:04Yeah, so why did you give me the cold shoulder then?
00:31:07Why did you not want our own baby, Mitch?
00:31:10Is it because of her?
00:31:12Or is it this public relationship talk?
00:31:15It's all fucking bullshit, isn't it?
00:31:17I don't even know her that well.
00:31:19She's the lead actress in my new movie.
00:31:21That is it.
00:31:23Claire, you are the woman I want to marry.
00:31:26You are the one I love.
00:31:30Do you actually mean that, Doug?
00:31:34Of course.
00:31:36And I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to realize it,
00:31:40but I know what I want now.
00:31:43Right?
00:31:45Sweetheart, listen.
00:31:48What you read is all lies, I swear.
00:31:53Then why did you push me away?
00:31:55Mitch, you just cut me off.
00:31:58You just left.
00:32:00I'm sorry for what I said, and I'm sorry for what I did.
00:32:04I guess I just wasn't ready to accept things at that stage,
00:32:07and I was very stressed with work.
00:32:12Okay.
00:32:13All right?
00:32:16Now, you know that I've been really busy with my movie, yeah?
00:32:20That's all it is.
00:32:22I had issues with locations and budgets and cast and...
00:32:28It's not an excuse, but what's this about going to the press, hey?
00:32:32I mean, come on.
00:32:34You're just stooping to their level.
00:32:36And if I know one thing, it's that you're better than that.
00:32:40Mitch, I couldn't stomach the thought of you going out with another woman,
00:32:45you marrying another woman, and then I'm pregnant with our baby girl.
00:32:51I just couldn't.
00:32:53Of course.
00:32:54Look, how about I make up for lost time, yeah?
00:32:59I want us to be a family, Claire.
00:33:02Do you actually mean that, Mitch?
00:33:05You want this?
00:33:06More than anything.
00:33:08I've missed you so much these past few months,
00:33:11and I'm so sorry for everything.
00:33:19I missed it.
00:33:22I really thought I'd lost you, but...
00:33:25Never.
00:33:27You could never lose me, not even if you tried.
00:33:31Now why don't I take you out on Friday night and make up for it,
00:33:34or at least start to make up for it, somewhere special, yeah?
00:33:38Where are we going?
00:33:39Well, that's a surprise, but it'll be just the two of us,
00:33:43like the good old days.
00:33:45Yeah, I was so angry at Alex, you know,
00:33:47like I marched into his house and I confronted him.
00:33:50Do you know what even threatened him?
00:33:53Really?
00:33:54Yeah, I told him that I would tell the tabloid about everything.
00:33:57You said that to him?
00:33:58You said that to Mitch?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00I don't know what came over me, like I was so mad.
00:34:03I even got in the magazine, and I hit him.
00:34:0622 back.
00:34:08And then the next minute he was, you know,
00:34:11telling me that he loved me and he was holding my hand
00:34:14and he said he wants to be a family, and it was beautiful.
00:34:19Alex, I think he may propose tonight.
00:34:22Okay.
00:34:24Claire, I don't think that he meant that apology, all right?
00:34:27Please just listen to me.
00:34:29People have been talking about him and Roxanne for a long time now,
00:34:32and I think that he wants to marry her.
00:34:35I'm sorry.
00:34:36No, I don't know.
00:34:39Why would you say something like that to me?
00:34:42Like, Alex, why can't you be happy for me?
00:34:45Like, if Mitch said it's a lie, it's a lie, okay?
00:34:49So if you can't be happy for me, then you should leave.
00:34:54Claire, please listen, okay?
00:34:56I don't think that you're going to be safe with him.
00:34:58Where is he taking you tonight?
00:34:59It's a surprise.
00:35:00Claire, just please listen, all right?
00:35:02You know that I want what's best for you.
00:35:04I don't want to hear it, Alex.
00:35:07Please, I'm begging you, don't go.
00:35:12I'm sorry.
00:35:17You look absolutely beautiful.
00:35:23I've missed you, baby.
00:35:24I've missed you too.
00:35:26I've been thinking a lot about our life together, about the future.
00:35:29Got lots of plans.
00:35:31Really?
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:37And also, I'm going to have my team make a statement,
00:35:41a press release about us.
00:35:43So you don't have to tell anyone else, all right, silly girl?
00:35:46That was so angry.
00:35:48I know.
00:35:49I liked it.
00:35:50You were a little bit scary, a bit feisty.
00:35:52Maybe I could see that side tonight when we get home, huh?
00:35:55Our home.
00:35:57Really?
00:35:58Mm-hmm.
00:35:59You want me to come home?
00:36:00The house has been so empty without you.
00:36:03After tonight, I'm going to make sure you don't go anywhere else.
00:36:08I love you, baby.
00:36:10You ready to be surprised?
00:36:11Super.
00:36:12Let's go.
00:36:13We're waiting for it.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:16Well?
00:36:17Wow, this place is, you know, it's big.
00:36:22What do you do here?
00:36:25This is one of my old movie sets.
00:36:27But now I just come here to watch.
00:36:29What do you watch?
00:36:31I watch movies.
00:36:34It's a private cinema.
00:36:36It's a top secret one just for us.
00:36:38No one else will be disturbing us.
00:36:41I mean, that's nice, Mitch, but, you know,
00:36:43I thought we were going to go to dinner.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:36:46We will go for dinner afterwards, hungry girl.
00:36:51I know, but it's just.
00:36:53What's wrong?
00:36:55No one's around and, you know.
00:36:57Yeah, I don't want anyone else here.
00:37:00I want you all to myself.
00:37:02Yeah, but it's just.
00:37:04I don't want anyone else to join us.
00:37:06Mitch, why did you bring me here?
00:37:09I thought dinner and this is just, it's weird.
00:37:14Well, I'm sorry, what are you, five?
00:37:17I mean, who wouldn't want to be on a date here at a private cinema
00:37:20with me in a three-piece suit?
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:24Be a big girl for once, huh?
00:37:26Want to pick a movie?
00:37:28Or do you want to make one?
00:37:29A movie would be nice.
00:37:31Yeah?
00:37:32Oh, I've missed your soft skin, huh?
00:37:37Mitch.
00:37:38Mitch.
00:37:40Come here.
00:37:41Come on, Mitch.
00:37:42Don't act like you've done that before.
00:37:44It's gone over.
00:37:45Mitch, Mitch, I'm pregnant.
00:37:47Yeah, come on.
00:37:48Mitch, I'm serious.
00:37:51God damn it.
00:37:54Hey, Alex.
00:37:56Hey.
00:37:57Calm down.
00:37:59What's going on, hey?
00:38:00I don't know.
00:38:02I just have a really bad feeling about something, okay?
00:38:05Claire and Mitch, that bastard, he pretended to apologise to her
00:38:10and now he's taping her somewhere tonight.
00:38:12Who?
00:38:13Mitch?
00:38:14Is this the pregnant actress you were talking to me about?
00:38:16She said that they reconciled and that he said that he loved her
00:38:19and, you know, God, that he was going to take the baby
00:38:23and that he was going to take care of them both and get married.
00:38:26She's too innocent.
00:38:28She doesn't understand these things.
00:38:30Wait, Mitch apologised?
00:38:32Mitch apologised?
00:38:34He's never apologised to anyone in his life.
00:38:37Look, he, she threatened him, all right?
00:38:40She threatened to take the pregnancy to the press, okay?
00:38:45Oh, gosh, man.
00:38:48Claire threatened him.
00:38:51She threatened Mitch.
00:38:54Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:38:56She's amazing, man, I'm telling you.
00:38:58I mean, her laugh, her smile, she's so beautiful.
00:39:02How does that moron not see it?
00:39:05Sounds like you've fallen pretty hard over it.
00:39:07Look, I don't care about that right now, okay?
00:39:09I just, all I care about is that she's safe
00:39:12and as far away from that bastard as possible.
00:39:15God, where is he taking her?
00:39:18Look, I did overhear Mitch saying
00:39:21that he was going to take some girl to the studio.
00:39:24What, the abandoned building?
00:39:26Yeah, well, it used to be a movie set, then it was a studio.
00:39:29Some people say it's cursed, but Mitch still has the title.
00:39:32I need to get there quickly.
00:39:35Hey, hey, don't you think you're being a little paranoid?
00:39:37I need to make sure, okay?
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:40Okay, maybe just observe for a distance, all right?
00:39:43So you don't get yourself hurt.
00:39:45Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
00:39:47Thanks.
00:39:57Claire!
00:40:01Claire!
00:40:02Claire!
00:40:04Help!
00:40:05Claire!
00:40:16Smile, sweetheart.
00:40:18You know, you wanted it as well.
00:40:20I needed that.
00:40:22You didn't have to be so rough.
00:40:24You know, I'm pregnant, and...
00:40:27Oh, baby, baby, baby.
00:40:30No one forced you to come here.
00:40:34I probably planned that little fucking brat as well just to try and trap me.
00:40:37What?
00:40:39Mitch, I thought you were happy.
00:40:43Oh, did you?
00:40:45You think I'd sabotage my entire career for you and this fucking baby?
00:40:50You're more stupid than I thought.
00:40:53I thought that we...
00:40:54I thought...
00:40:56I thought we reconciled.
00:40:58Did you?
00:40:59You?
00:41:00Come on.
00:41:01Okay, okay.
00:41:03You think that I ever loved you?
00:41:05You're nothing to me, you hear me?
00:41:07You're worthless.
00:41:08You're shit on my shoe.
00:41:10Huh?
00:41:11I've got something for you.
00:41:12I've got something for you.
00:41:17I'm the biggest producer in this country, you hear?
00:41:20Any girl would want to be with me.
00:41:22Well, breathe in here, baby.
00:41:23Be any brat.
00:41:24Be any brat.
00:41:27She'll be with you soon.
00:41:29Huh?
00:41:30That's it.
00:41:32That's it.
00:41:33Sleep tight.
00:42:02Water.
00:42:08Water.
00:42:23What time is it?
00:42:27How did I get here?
00:42:30Claire.
00:42:31Claire, is she okay?
00:42:32Is Claire here?
00:42:33Sir, please calm down.
00:42:35We'll tell you in a minute.
00:42:36You need to rest.
00:42:37I need to see Claire.
00:42:38Is she okay?
00:42:39Is she here?
00:42:40Is she okay?
00:42:41Your injuries are extremely serious.
00:42:42How did I get here?
00:42:43Somebody alerted the cops that there was smoke coming from the abandoned studio.
00:42:47You and the woman were rescued.
00:42:52Claire's okay.
00:42:54She's...
00:42:56Is she alright?
00:42:57Is she hurt?
00:42:59Sir, I am deeply sorry to say that the woman didn't make it.
00:43:04No.
00:43:06No, she...
00:43:08It's not true.
00:43:09I don't believe you.
00:43:10Where is she?
00:43:11I need to see her, please.
00:43:12I need to see her!
00:43:14Please.
00:43:15She can't be gone.
00:43:16I need to see Claire.
00:43:17She can't be gone.
00:43:18She can't be.
00:43:19Sir, we're sorry to inform you, but she wasn't able to survive the burns.
00:43:22She couldn't be saved.
00:43:24She was in the fire for too long.
00:43:25Her body is disfigured beyond recognition.
00:43:29But we were able to save the baby.
00:43:32The baby?
00:43:33Clara?
00:43:34She's alive?
00:43:35The baby is still premature and is in the incubation room.
00:43:38But she is breathing.
00:43:39And she is alive.
00:43:41Oh, Clara.
00:43:43Oh, she's alive.
00:43:49Can I see her?
00:43:50Can I see the baby?
00:43:51Sir, we will bring her here where she can breathe on her own.
00:43:54You need to rest for now.
00:44:01Claire.
00:44:02Nice to meet you.
00:44:03Claire.
00:44:04Happy birthday, Claire.
00:44:05Stop.
00:44:06Don't do that.
00:44:07Claire?
00:44:08Please.
00:44:09Please, I'm begging you.
00:44:10Don't go.
00:44:11I think we'd be really good friends.
00:44:13Claire.
00:44:22Are you Alex?
00:44:24Yes.
00:44:27You must be Claire's mum.
00:44:31Sir.
00:44:32Nice to meet you.
00:44:35I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.
00:44:39Claire always spoke so highly of you.
00:44:44What happened to my daughter?
00:44:46How did this happen?
00:44:47It was an accident.
00:44:51I couldn't save her.
00:44:52I'm so sorry.
00:44:54They told me she was pregnant and the baby survived.
00:44:57I didn't know what was going on in Claire's life.
00:45:00She wouldn't tell me anything.
00:45:02And it's the father.
00:45:03And where is he?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:08When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:14When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:45:17She never talked about him.
00:45:19Never asked.
00:45:20How did she keep such a big secret from me?
00:45:23My poor Claire.
00:45:25And the father's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:28I don't think he's going to be seen, even when she was alive.
00:45:33And I don't think he's going to be turning up any time soon.
00:45:36How terrible.
00:45:39My poor daughter and her poor child.
00:45:44Oh.
00:45:46She's beautiful.
00:45:50She looks just like my daughter when she was a baby.
00:45:56How precious.
00:45:58Oh, if only her mother were here.
00:46:02Claire wanted to name her Clara.
00:46:06Baby Clara.
00:46:08You're coming with me now.
00:46:11Hey.
00:46:13You're going to be OK.
00:46:17What tells me that she'll grow up an orphan?
00:46:21Oh, I hope her father changes his mind and shows up.
00:46:25Now that Claire's gone,
00:46:28he's needed more than ever.
00:46:36I don't know.
00:46:38He...
00:46:41If he changes his mind and shows up, please let me know.
00:46:47I'll come and visit the two of you from time to time.
00:46:50If that's all right,
00:46:52I'll check and make sure that everything's OK.
00:46:55See if Clara needs anything.
00:46:59For Claire's sake.
00:47:04You're too kind.
00:47:06I'm so glad Claire had someone like you in her life.
00:47:29All right, time to celebrate.
00:47:32Happy birthday, Clara.
00:47:35Oh, I've been so looking forward to today.
00:47:38Well, it's a very important birthday for you.
00:47:40Please blow out the candles.
00:47:45How is it important?
00:47:47Well, first of all, you have had such an amazing year.
00:47:50I mean, the roles that you have landed
00:47:52and everything that you have accomplished,
00:47:54and at such a young age,
00:47:56I am so, so proud of you.
00:47:58Girl, you heard them too bad yourself.
00:48:00Well, practically,
00:48:02them both sought after Swimming Rider
00:48:03and no one said about them really.
00:48:05How does it feel to have so much money?
00:48:07Well, come on.
00:48:09I mean, you're the one who is so successful
00:48:11and knows what it means to be talented, all right?
00:48:13I was just a humble guy until just recently.
00:48:16Well, I couldn't have done any of this
00:48:18without you as well.
00:48:20No, no, you're the one with the talent
00:48:22and you have such a good head on your shoulders.
00:48:24I mean, most actors don't,
00:48:26especially at a young age.
00:48:28So many of them get this unpleasant sobering status.
00:48:32I've heard about that.
00:48:34Thankfully, I've gotten this far unscathed.
00:48:36Clara.
00:48:38I think it's time that you knew something.
00:48:41Do what?
00:48:43I think that it's time that you knew the truth
00:48:46about your parents.
00:48:48My parents?
00:48:50What about my parents?
00:48:52Has my father come around?
00:48:54No, no.
00:48:56The passing of your mother
00:48:58and the absence of your father
00:48:59are very complex circumstances.
00:49:04I think I've asked Nana like a million and two times
00:49:07about what happened.
00:49:09She always gives me the same exact story.
00:49:11Mama was an actress
00:49:13and she moved away to find more gigs
00:49:15and there was just less and less communication
00:49:17until, bam,
00:49:19she showed up one day, dead.
00:49:21Serious and
00:49:23I was just left with no dad.
00:49:25Well,
00:49:27just get ready
00:49:29to take him.
00:49:31Okay, so
00:49:33I met your mother 20 years ago.
00:49:35She had just found out
00:49:37that she was pregnant with you.
00:49:39Is it?
00:49:41Did you guys work together?
00:49:43No, no, no, no.
00:49:45I mean, I was a nobody back then.
00:49:47We both were.
00:49:49We had a lot in common
00:49:51and she was very distressed
00:49:53and lonely at the time
00:49:55or she just happened to meet me
00:49:57at a very dark time in her life.
00:49:59Your father
00:50:01is a famous and powerful producer.
00:50:04He's a producer?
00:50:06Does he know that his daughter is an actress?
00:50:08I believe he thinks
00:50:10his child died with Claire.
00:50:12So
00:50:14can you tell him that I'm alive and well?
00:50:16No, I can't.
00:50:18Not like this, at least.
00:50:20Look, your father
00:50:22did not want Claire to have you, right?
00:50:24He insisted that she had
00:50:26an abortion.
00:50:27So
00:50:29they didn't want me.
00:50:31No, no, no, no.
00:50:33Your mother wanted you more than anything.
00:50:35She was ready to stand against
00:50:37the whole world to have you.
00:50:39She chose you over your father,
00:50:41a man that she depended on
00:50:43for almost everything.
00:50:45But
00:50:47why did she have to die?
00:50:49I'll get to that.
00:50:51Just let me finish.
00:50:53How did she die?
00:50:55I'll get to that.
00:50:57Okay, sorry.
00:50:59So
00:51:00your father
00:51:02had flings with a lot of actresses
00:51:04and he was never committed to any of them.
00:51:06Your mother trusted him blindly
00:51:08and
00:51:10she thought that he was committed to her.
00:51:12And the only thing your father was committed to
00:51:14is his career, his public image.
00:51:16I see.
00:51:18So
00:51:20he tried to convince your mother to get rid of the baby.
00:51:22He told her that
00:51:24he wasn't going to have it.
00:51:25He just wanted to find out about it.
00:51:27He said he couldn't have a baby unless he was married
00:51:29and he didn't want to marry your mother either.
00:51:31And why not?
00:51:33Because he wanted to
00:51:35marry a more successful actress instead
00:51:37for his public image.
00:51:39Who is she?
00:51:41Do I know her?
00:51:43We'll get to that.
00:51:45So he kept phoning your mother.
00:51:47He kept trying to get her to get an abortion.
00:51:49And as much as the idea of you growing up without a father
00:51:51and with little money hurt your mother,
00:51:52she was convinced
00:51:54to try and change your father's mind.
00:51:56She was determined to have you.
00:51:58My poor mother.
00:52:00So
00:52:02one day I took her to this
00:52:04old vintage bookstore in Dubb
00:52:06and she saw pictures of your father
00:52:08and another actress on a tabloid
00:52:10sprawled over the front page.
00:52:12It said that
00:52:14they were allegedly in a relationship
00:52:16and that they were planning on getting married.
00:52:18Oh my God.
00:52:20Your mother,
00:52:22she was one of the
00:52:24kindest and nicest people that I'd ever met.
00:52:26But I had never seen her so furious.
00:52:28She was
00:52:30so angry that she went to your father
00:52:32and threatened him
00:52:34to leak it to the press.
00:52:36What did he have to say for himself?
00:52:38He got scared
00:52:40and he started lying,
00:52:42convincing her that the press was making it all up
00:52:44and that he'd changed his mind about the baby,
00:52:46saying that he was going to take care of the both of you.
00:52:48I warned your mother.
00:52:50I tried my best
00:52:52but your mother was so happy.
00:52:54She didn't listen
00:52:56to my warnings.
00:52:58The next thing I knew,
00:53:00your father had taken her to a studio
00:53:02and strangled her
00:53:04in a car.
00:53:06I was with a friend at the time
00:53:08and I was ranting on about
00:53:10how Claire was going out with Mitch
00:53:12and I knew something was going to happen.
00:53:14And then he told me that
00:53:16Mitch was taking a woman to an abandoned studio.
00:53:18I rushed there.
00:53:20I rushed there as quickly as I could
00:53:22but
00:53:24I was too late.
00:53:26What happened next?
00:53:28How did we even get out of there?
00:53:30I got to the studio
00:53:32and I saw Mitch had a towel
00:53:34around your mother's mouth.
00:53:36I tried to rescue her.
00:53:38I ran there as fast as I could
00:53:40but his men were still there
00:53:42and they beat me until I passed out.
00:53:44Alex,
00:53:46how did we get out of there alive?
00:53:48People heard screaming.
00:53:50They called the cops
00:53:52and they took us to the hospital.
00:53:54You alright?
00:53:56Your mother wasn't so lucky.
00:54:01I just can't believe
00:54:03my father
00:54:05could have done something like that.
00:54:07Alex,
00:54:09who is this monster?
00:54:11Once we were at the hospital
00:54:13I called your grandmother
00:54:15and we made arrangements
00:54:17for how you were going to be raised.
00:54:19She asked me what happened but
00:54:20I couldn't tell her.
00:54:22I gave her enough to give her closure.
00:54:24No, don't, Alex.
00:54:26You did the right thing.
00:54:28Nana could not have known about
00:54:30any of this.
00:54:31It would have been too much for her to bear.
00:54:33And
00:54:35I had a great childhood
00:54:37and we had you
00:54:39so thank you
00:54:41for any help.
00:54:42You've valued Sunshine.
00:54:44Please,
00:54:47who is my father?
00:54:51The producer,
00:54:53Mitch.
00:54:54Mitch Sterling
00:54:56is your father.
00:55:02What?
00:55:04Yuck.
00:55:06Yuck.
00:55:07He is such a creep.
00:55:09You know, he was a creep back then too.
00:55:11A heartless one.
00:55:13You know, he's got a wife
00:55:15and kids and I know for a fact
00:55:16that he gets around.
00:55:17He gets with barely
00:55:19legal starlets.
00:55:21Poor Oxen.
00:55:23That's the one.
00:55:26You know,
00:55:27he's been begging me
00:55:29to be in his new project
00:55:30and I keep turning him down
00:55:32because something about him
00:55:33makes me so uncomfortable.
00:55:36You're a lot wiser than your mother was back then.
00:55:39She was just
00:55:41too innocent for the sinister.
00:55:43I guess that's how a guy like Mitch
00:55:45was able to dig his claws into her.
00:55:46But doesn't he suspect for a second
00:55:48that I could be his daughter that survived?
00:55:50Well,
00:55:51I don't think Mitch has been
00:55:52with too many women at this point
00:55:54and I think he's just forgotten about Clem.
00:55:57What a pig.
00:56:00I can't believe he's gotten away
00:56:02with this,
00:56:03with this lot.
00:56:04Oh,
00:56:05he has a lot of influence
00:56:07and
00:56:08creating a scandal
00:56:09around your birth and everything
00:56:11it just,
00:56:12it would have ruined your childhood.
00:56:14Right?
00:56:15I couldn't do that to you.
00:56:17So I kept
00:56:18everything a secret.
00:56:22It's not
00:56:23right,
00:56:24Alex.
00:56:25None of this
00:56:26is right.
00:56:27There must be some way
00:56:29that we can get back at him
00:56:30for all that he's done.
00:56:33We need a plan.
00:56:39Let's give him that scandal
00:56:41that he's been running from
00:56:42for the past 20 years.
00:56:43I'll confront him
00:56:45in
00:56:46public.
00:56:47I'll make a whole scene
00:56:48and
00:56:49I don't think it'll affect
00:56:50my career that much
00:56:51but hopefully
00:56:52his
00:56:53will be wronged.
00:56:55Wow.
00:56:58I
00:56:59have been thinking about
00:57:00revenge
00:57:01for the last
00:57:0220
00:57:03years
00:57:05and I have
00:57:06the perfect plan.
00:57:08I've been writing this script
00:57:09and I've been writing it for years.
00:57:10Yeah?
00:57:11Go on.
00:57:12When your mother passed
00:57:13I
00:57:14knew that
00:57:15I wanted to tell this story
00:57:16so
00:57:17I started writing a screenplay
00:57:18about it.
00:57:19So
00:57:20you're going to make a movie?
00:57:21Yes.
00:57:22A movie that
00:57:23accurately portrays
00:57:24what happened
00:57:25and
00:57:26as Mitch
00:57:27sees it
00:57:28he will be
00:57:29riddled with guilt.
00:57:31Is he going to go for it?
00:57:34Alright.
00:57:35The plan is
00:57:36I want it
00:57:37to be
00:57:38a
00:57:40I want it
00:57:41to cast you
00:57:42as your mother.
00:57:43Alright?
00:57:44I mean you guys are
00:57:45you're so alike and
00:57:46I think it would be
00:57:47the perfect touch
00:57:48to get on his nerves.
00:57:49The plan is
00:57:50we torture him
00:57:51psychologically
00:57:52you know
00:57:53until he goes insane.
00:57:54The plan is
00:57:55to then
00:57:56change the names
00:57:57except for the main two ones
00:57:58Claire
00:57:59and Mitch.
00:58:00I think
00:58:01that could actually work.
00:58:02Yeah.
00:58:03I'm in.
00:58:04Alright.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:06Well
00:58:07you need to be sure about this
00:58:08you need to make sure
00:58:09that you are ready
00:58:10because we've got a lot of work to do
00:58:11so we've got to get started now.
00:58:13I'm ready to get started.
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:15We are going
00:58:16to ruin him.
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:19I just need you
00:58:20to calm down
00:58:21and make sure that you are
00:58:22prepared for it.
00:58:23Okay?
00:58:25You need to make sure
00:58:26that you are ready
00:58:27for this project
00:58:28because if not
00:58:29if this goes south
00:58:31there could be consequences.
00:58:32I know.
00:58:33I know.
00:58:34And
00:58:35I promise I will
00:58:36carefully consider
00:58:38These are
00:58:39some of your mother's things.
00:58:41I saved them for you
00:58:42after you've
00:58:44after she passed
00:58:46and
00:58:49this is
00:58:50her diary
00:58:51that she kept
00:58:52when she was in a relationship
00:58:53with Mitch.
00:58:54I want you to have it.
00:58:55It will help you
00:58:56prepare for the role.
00:59:03Well
00:59:04congratulations
00:59:06our movie
00:59:07was a box office hit.
00:59:08And guess what?
00:59:09That's not even the best part.
00:59:11Ah
00:59:12I see you're still thinking
00:59:13about Mitch's reaction.
00:59:14That's great.
00:59:15I mean how could I not?
00:59:16Did you see his face?
00:59:18God
00:59:19he must be going insane.
00:59:20I mean the movie
00:59:21is everywhere.
00:59:22Right?
00:59:23Oh
00:59:24I still can't see
00:59:25what my mum
00:59:26saw in Mitch.
00:59:27He is so arrogant.
00:59:29You know
00:59:30he was begging me
00:59:31to be in his new production
00:59:32and still found time
00:59:33to brag about himself.
00:59:34Well
00:59:35you know
00:59:36people make mistakes
00:59:37when they're as sincere
00:59:38as your mother.
00:59:39And I mean
00:59:40come on
00:59:41that's just classic Mitch.
00:59:42Right?
00:59:43I mean he's literally
00:59:44cheating on the woman
00:59:45that he ended up marrying.
00:59:46God
00:59:47he's such a
00:59:48worthless
00:59:49pathetic worm.
00:59:50I just
00:59:51I can't even
00:59:52stand running into him
00:59:53at events.
00:59:54It makes me want to
00:59:55vomit thinking about
00:59:56what he did to my mother.
00:59:57I can't believe
00:59:58that man
00:59:59is my biological father.
01:00:00Look
01:00:01he is not your father.
01:00:02Alright?
01:00:03A parent
01:00:04is someone who
01:00:05watches over you
01:00:06as you grow up
01:00:07and he never even tried.
01:00:08Okay?
01:00:09You know
01:00:10I often wonder
01:00:11like even if
01:00:12he hated your mother
01:00:13so much
01:00:14that he ended up
01:00:15murdering her
01:00:16I mean
01:00:17how could he be
01:00:18so heartless
01:00:19about his own child?
01:00:20You've been more
01:00:21of a father to me
01:00:22than Mitch ever could be.
01:00:23You were the one
01:00:24that looked over me
01:00:25while I was
01:00:26growing up an orphan.
01:00:27You know
01:00:28I just did the right thing.
01:00:29You know
01:00:30I feel
01:00:31so
01:00:33terrible
01:00:34about how you
01:00:35were treated
01:00:36and what happened to you.
01:00:37It's
01:00:38for you
01:00:39I want the life
01:00:40that your mother
01:00:41dreamed of.
01:00:42Alright?
01:00:43And
01:00:44I
01:00:45She was
01:00:46she was fragile
01:00:47but
01:00:48God
01:00:49I'm just
01:00:50in awe
01:00:51of her strength.
01:00:52I wish
01:00:53that it was you
01:00:54instead of Mitch
01:00:55that my mum
01:00:56fell in love with.
01:00:57I wish that I
01:00:58were your daughter.
01:00:59Hey
01:01:00you are like
01:01:02I mean
01:01:03I wish you
01:01:04and mum
01:01:05happy.
01:01:06I can't help but think
01:01:07how different
01:01:08all three of our lives
01:01:09would be
01:01:10if that were the case.
01:01:11Especially
01:01:12mum's.
01:01:13If
01:01:14she was still here
01:01:15I definitely
01:01:16would have
01:01:17set the two of you up.
01:01:18Come on.
01:01:19Wait.
01:01:20What?
01:01:21You
01:01:22liked
01:01:23my mum.
01:01:24You
01:01:25like
01:01:26liked her.
01:01:27Okay
01:01:28no
01:01:29she
01:01:31we
01:01:32had a lot in common
01:01:33and we were both
01:01:34struggling with our careers
01:01:35at the time.
01:01:36Well
01:01:37come on
01:01:38if things
01:01:39had worked out
01:01:40differently
01:01:41you reckon you guys
01:01:42would have
01:01:43eventually
01:01:44gotten together?
01:01:45Clara
01:01:46I met your mother
01:01:47when she
01:01:48suspected that she
01:01:49was pregnant
01:01:50with you
01:01:51alright?
01:01:52She was in a
01:01:53toxic
01:01:54abusive
01:01:55relationship
01:01:56with Mitch
01:01:57and that
01:01:58took a toll
01:01:59on her.
01:02:00I mean
01:02:01today
01:02:02here that
01:02:03stranger is
01:02:04seeking her
01:02:05justice.
01:02:06I
01:02:07I think that's
01:02:08very romantic.
01:02:09Yeah
01:02:10well
01:02:11Mitch
01:02:12needs to be
01:02:13brought to
01:02:14justice
01:02:15alright?
01:02:16And we
01:02:17are going to
01:02:18do that.
01:02:19He's going to
01:02:20pay for
01:02:21everything he
01:02:22did.
01:02:23I mean
01:02:24God knows
01:02:25what else
01:02:26he's done
01:02:27that we
01:02:28can't
01:02:29make sure
01:02:30that they
01:02:31do.
01:02:32Our goal
01:02:33is to make it
01:02:34so that he
01:02:35breaks down
01:02:36and then just
01:02:37confesses to
01:02:38everything.
01:02:39I'm going to
01:02:40destroy his
01:02:41beloved career
01:02:42the career for
01:02:43which he
01:02:44destroyed so
01:02:45many lives
01:02:46and broke so
01:02:47many hearts.
01:02:48And you
01:02:49know
01:02:50I've been
01:02:51torturing Mitch
01:02:52in a
01:02:53very special
01:02:54way.
01:02:55And you
01:02:56know
01:02:57I've been
01:02:58sending him
01:02:59pictures of
01:03:00your mother
01:03:01from different
01:03:02addresses.
01:03:03You know
01:03:04I'm just
01:03:05messing with
01:03:06his head.
01:03:07I just
01:03:08hope Mitch
01:03:09doesn't sue
01:03:10us.
01:03:11No he
01:03:12can't.
01:03:13I've thought
01:03:14about that
01:03:15before we
01:03:16made the
01:03:17movie.
01:03:18If he
01:03:19tries anything
01:03:20then I'll
01:03:21just make sure
01:03:22that you
01:03:23and him
01:03:24take a DNA
01:03:25test and
01:03:26see if
01:03:27we can
01:03:28get him to
01:03:29crack.
01:03:30I've been
01:03:31holding back
01:03:32the urge to
01:03:33beat the
01:03:34shit out of
01:03:35him for the
01:03:36last 20
01:03:37years.
01:03:38But he's
01:03:39influential so
01:03:40we have to
01:03:41be clever
01:03:42about how we
01:03:43do this.
01:03:44I've been
01:03:45enjoying what
01:03:46we're doing
01:03:47the movie
01:03:48and my
01:03:49role and
01:03:50it just
01:03:51is really
01:03:52really hard
01:03:53to think
01:03:54about my
01:03:55future.
01:03:56You've
01:03:57been nominated
01:03:58for so
01:03:59many awards
01:04:00and I
01:04:01had a
01:04:02feeling that
01:04:03you were
01:04:04going to win
01:04:05all of them.
01:04:06Well don't
01:04:07sell yourself
01:04:08short.
01:04:09You came from
01:04:10penniless
01:04:11screenwriter and
01:04:12now you're one
01:04:13of the greats?
01:04:14You didn't
01:04:15give yourself
01:04:16enough credit.
01:04:17You know
01:04:18that your
01:04:19mother was
01:04:20a struggling
01:04:21actress.
01:04:22She barely
01:04:23got any
01:04:24credit.
01:04:25It makes me
01:04:26so proud to
01:04:27see you just
01:04:28take over
01:04:29this industry.
01:04:30Well I have
01:04:31been very
01:04:32lucky with
01:04:33roles and
01:04:34your influence
01:04:35doesn't hurt.
01:04:36Come on,
01:04:37you have been
01:04:38making waves
01:04:39without me.
01:04:40That takes
01:04:41sheer talent.
01:04:42Your mother
01:04:43wasn't so
01:04:44fortunate.
01:04:45She couldn't
01:04:46escape the
01:04:47destruction
01:04:48that Mitch
01:04:49unleashed upon
01:04:50her.
01:04:51I was so
01:04:52sure back
01:04:53in college
01:04:54and your
01:04:55mother's
01:04:56career,
01:04:57just making
01:04:58sure that she
01:04:59was financially
01:05:00and emotionally
01:05:01dependent on
01:05:02her so that
01:05:03she just
01:05:04couldn't
01:05:05escape.
01:05:06I mean,
01:05:07the more you
01:05:08tell me about
01:05:09Mitch, the
01:05:10more afraid
01:05:11I'm getting
01:05:12of him.
01:05:13If he found
01:05:14out who I
01:05:15really was,
01:05:16he would
01:05:17surely kill
01:05:18me.
01:05:19Look what
01:05:20he did to
01:05:21my mother.
01:05:22He's losing
01:05:23his mind.
01:05:24I've been
01:05:25hearing it from
01:05:26people.
01:05:27I even saw
01:05:28him at an
01:05:29event and he
01:05:30just seemed
01:05:31visibly shaken.
01:05:32Yeah, well,
01:05:33he's going to
01:05:34confront us
01:05:35soon.
01:05:36I'm sure of
01:05:37it.
01:05:38What is it?
01:05:39Oh,
01:05:40bingo.
01:05:41It's an
01:05:42email from
01:05:43his assistant.
01:05:44Oh,
01:05:45my God.
01:05:46That
01:05:47phrase
01:05:48just came
01:05:49out of
01:05:50his mouth
01:05:51about praising
01:05:52us for the
01:05:53movie.
01:05:54They're
01:05:55saying that
01:05:56they're very
01:05:57proud of what
01:05:58we did and
01:05:59that Mitch
01:06:00has been trying
01:06:01to get his
01:06:02hands on me
01:06:03for quite some
01:06:04time.
01:06:05They threw in
01:06:06a lot of
01:06:07comments about
01:06:08you too.
01:06:09Comments?
01:06:10Saying that
01:06:11he's always
01:06:12wanted to get
01:06:13you in one
01:06:14of his films
01:06:15and he's
01:06:16quite jealous
01:06:17of the fact
01:06:18that I got
01:06:19you.
01:06:20Oh,
01:06:21yes.
01:06:22He just
01:06:23invited me to
01:06:24an abandoned
01:06:25building to
01:06:26discuss a new
01:06:27project.
01:06:28An abandoned
01:06:29building?
01:06:30Oh,
01:06:31wow.
01:06:32That doesn't
01:06:33seem suspicious.
01:06:34Yes,
01:06:35well,
01:06:36I think Mitch
01:06:37and I both
01:06:38know each
01:06:39other's
01:06:40intentions at
01:06:41this point,
01:06:42so it's
01:06:43definitely a
01:06:44trap.
01:06:45What are
01:06:46you going to
01:06:47do?
01:06:48Are you going
01:06:49to kill me?
01:06:50No,

01:06:57costume from the
01:06:58movie and just

01:07:22get-go.
01:07:23It doesn't matter,
01:07:24alright?
01:07:25The goal is to
01:07:26stir up his guilt.
01:07:27What if he tries
01:07:28to kill us?
01:07:29Hey, like
01:07:30Poe said, we're
01:07:31porn cops.
01:07:32It's up to you,
01:07:33bro.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Okay.
01:07:36Yeah.
01:07:37I'm in.
01:07:38Let's do it.
01:07:39Mitch.
01:07:40Mitch.
01:07:41Mitch.
01:07:42Mitch.
01:07:43Mitch.
01:07:44Mitch.
01:07:45Mitch.
01:07:46Mitch.
01:07:48What the fuck is
01:07:49going on here?
01:07:56So you are the
01:07:57scumbag who's been
01:07:58fucking with me?
01:07:59I have been holding
01:08:00onto my rage for
01:08:01the past 20 years.
01:08:03I'm going to make
01:08:04you pay for
01:08:05everything that you
01:08:06did to Clara.
01:08:11But you've got
01:08:12no evidence.
01:08:15None that we've
01:08:16gonna admit what I did or didn't do, so.
01:08:21Do you have any remorse for what you did to her?
01:08:25You know, I'm sure that out of all of the actresses
01:08:28that you've slept with, none of them were as good
01:08:30or as decent or as loyal to you as Claire was.
01:08:35That's good and bad, I'll give her that.
01:08:39Actually, it was just a bimbo who got what she deserved.
01:08:42And use flesh, mate.
01:08:44She's dead, has been for a while, so.
01:08:47I don't really see the point of all this, you know?
01:08:52Do you know that her baby survived?
01:08:55Bullshit.
01:08:57There's no way, it's not medically possible.
01:08:59Eyes dry.
01:09:01Okay.
01:09:02Well, Clara, the starlet that you so desperately want
01:09:08in all of your projects, she's your daughter, Mitch.
01:09:15I mean, did it ever occur to you
01:09:17how much she looks like Claire?
01:09:19Were you ever able to figure that one out?
01:09:23What do you want from me?
01:09:25I wanna torture you for what you did to her.
01:09:28I wanna make you suffer as much as you made Claire suffer
01:09:31before you murdered her.
01:09:35You listen here, you fucking bastard.
01:09:38One phone call from me, you disappear forever, got that?
01:09:42Hey?
01:09:42Mitch.
01:09:45Is it really you?
01:09:51Why did you kill me, Mitch?
01:09:55I told you the baby and I wouldn't bother you.
01:09:59Why did you have to do what you did?
01:10:03You shut up.
01:10:05You're not real.
01:10:10I kept screaming your name,
01:10:13but you had your hand wrapped around my throat.
01:10:19I don't understand how carrying your child
01:10:20was such a crime that you had to murder me.
01:10:24I said, shut up, you shut up.
01:10:28You're not real.
01:10:29Claire is dead, I know that you're Clara.
01:10:33Mitch, I had so many dreams of you and me
01:10:40and a happy ending.
01:10:42I would have given up anything for you,
01:10:46but not my child, not our child.
01:10:51No, you just probably, what, you fucked someone else.
01:10:55Tried to pass the kid off as mine.
01:10:56God, you are such a heartless pig.
01:10:59Her life literally revolved around yours.
01:11:01And you, weaseling your way in,
01:11:04trying to forget my sloppy seconds.
01:11:07You're pathetic, both of you.
01:11:12I never loved anyone but you, Mitch.
01:11:17And you killed me.
01:11:20Have you ever thought about me?
01:11:23Even once, after all these years?
01:11:29You're a hell of a good actress.
01:11:31I'll give you that.
01:11:33That what you wanna hear?
01:11:35The way you kissed my cheek that night
01:11:39and you held my hand, I thought all our troubles
01:11:45were really over.
01:11:49I had nothing, Mitch.
01:11:53No money.
01:11:54I cried myself to sleep every night.
01:12:00How do you know what happened between me and Claire?
01:12:04Answer me!
01:12:06And you whispered in my ear.
01:12:09That everything was gonna be okay.
01:12:13And you got that look in your eye and
01:12:19you pull me by my hair and you push me up against the wall.
01:12:24God, you fucking monster!
01:12:28I can take you and your career to places
01:12:30you couldn't otherwise have dreamed of.
01:12:32Leave her alone, all right?
01:12:33You see, you see, this is the kind of man
01:12:36that your father is.
01:12:37And you've wondered how he managed to murder your mother.
01:12:41This ends now.
01:12:44Piece of shit.
01:12:46It's okay.
01:12:47It's gonna be fine.
01:12:50I got the act, Clara.
01:12:51Last chance and I'll kill him.
01:12:53You hear me?
01:12:58Fucking animal, all right?
01:12:59I'm gonna make you pay for what you did.
01:13:03No.
01:13:05No, Alex, no.
01:13:07You're not gonna do anything.
01:13:09Clara, this is not the time for forgiveness, all right?
01:13:12He needs to, I need to finish this.
01:13:16Alex, this is not your revenge to take.
01:13:20This man doesn't have a shred of guilt for killing me.
01:13:28He doesn't have any room in his heart for his child.
01:13:31Clara, you can drop the act, okay?
01:13:32He knows that you're not clear as gold.
01:13:34We need to finish him, I.
01:13:36I need to finish him.
01:13:39You know, Mitch, I loved you so much.
01:13:44You were my everything.
01:13:47I would have given up everything for you,
01:13:50but you just couldn't bear the thought
01:13:52of me raising our child on my own.
01:13:59You had to kill me and kill your unborn child.
01:14:02What kind of evil man does it take to do that?
01:14:07You're a monster, Mitch.
01:14:11But you'd never rest in peace.
01:14:14You shut up.
01:14:16I know you're not Clara's ghost.
01:14:19If you are my daughter,
01:14:20it's because you've got half my heart.
01:14:22Your mother was a lazy, weak, pathetic actress
01:14:26who kept sleeping with me for money.
01:14:28Now leave this fucking loser behind
01:14:32and let's take your career to the next level.
01:14:34What do you say?
01:14:35You shut up.
01:14:36You fucking shut up, you piece of shit liar.
01:14:38No, no, you don't.
01:14:40Clara, please, this is why we need to finish him.
01:14:43I need to end him now.
01:14:45Come on, come on.
01:14:52Did I kill him?
01:14:54I swear I didn't even have my fingers on the trigger.
01:15:01Clara, where did you get this?
01:15:03It's the same one I gave your mother on her birthday,
01:15:06but because she was married with it,
01:15:11and here I thought it was one of a kind.
01:15:20Alex, Alex.
01:15:23Are you okay?
01:15:29Why are you looking at me like that?
01:15:31Did you give me that bracelet?
01:15:36What bracelet, Alex?
01:15:42No way.
01:15:45Is this?
01:15:48I think so.
01:15:50And it's only fitting that you get it.
01:15:56I mean, it's beautiful,
01:16:00but how?
01:16:04I don't know, but come on.
01:16:10We should get out of here.
