00:22Episode 537 Highs and Lows
00:27Jenna tried to remember what Emma looked like the last time she had seen her.
00:31After a few seconds she gave up and grimaced.
00:34What does it matter to me if she's pregnant or not?
00:37I've already lost everything.
00:39She complained.
00:40Nobody from my family cares what I have to say anyway.
00:44She thought bitterly.
00:45The nurse shrugged and joked.
00:47Who knows?
00:48Maybe the paparazzi would pay good money to find out.
00:52As the year came to an end,
00:54everyone's attention was on the annual film awards.
00:58The entertainment industry and the public alike
01:01wanted to see who would gain recognition at the ceremony.
01:05The main judge was the previous winner of the Lifetime Contribution Award
01:10and he supervised two team leaders, over 20 experienced artists,
01:15actors and directors, including Christopher.
01:18The judges were frantically trying to get all their votes in
01:22as the time to announce the nominees came closer.
01:25They would be going through three rounds of voting to select the top 10 candidates.
01:31Then, through a series of eliminations,
01:34they would settle on the final five nominees.
01:38Emma had been nominated for the Best Newcomer Award for her role in Weird Husband.
01:43There was a large pool of equally talented candidates for that category,
01:48so fans were eagerly awaiting to see how Weird Husband would do.
01:52As soon as the audience began voting,
01:55fans flocked to the official website to cast their votes.
01:59However, so many fans tried to log in at the same time that the website crashed.
02:05When voting resumed,
02:07it was clear the organizers had deleted many of the votes for Emma
02:11because her vote count was so high
02:13they assumed that the fans had cheated and cast multiple votes.
02:17Lisa sat in front of her computer to watch the real-time results.
02:21The other nominees had hundreds of thousands of votes,
02:24while Emma was only in the single digits.
02:28She pointed out the discrepancy to Luke.
02:30He leaned against the back of her seat and sipped his coffee.
02:35The awards system has always been fair.
02:38If they think someone cheated, then someone must have cheated, he replied.
02:42She whipped her head around to glare at him.
02:45Excuse me, he cringed at his wife's reaction.
02:49He quickly set his mug down and sat next to her.
02:52I'm not saying Emma cheated, but it's possible
02:56a competitor submitted fake votes on her behalf, he explained.
03:00She slowly nodded.
03:02But the votes only count for 20.
03:05Will it really make a difference?
03:07Right now, 20 doesn't seem like a lot,
03:10but it could be a deciding factor toward the end.
03:14So, some people are going to fight for every vote they can get, he said.
03:19She glared at her computer screen, as if it would fix Emma's votes.
03:23So what can we do?
03:25She asked.
03:26Unless we know who did it.
03:28Nothing, he replied with a frown.
03:31So Emma can't do anything but take the blame.
03:34She asked.
03:35It may not be a bad thing, he said as he shrugged.
03:38She wasn't sure what he meant because she had only ever worked in the modeling industry.
03:44She didn't know what kinds of tricks people pulled in the film industry.
03:48Although she trusted her husband's judgment, she still felt anxious for Emma.
03:54I think I've had enough for tonight.
03:56Let's go to bed, he said.
03:58The two of them stood up and headed for the bedroom.
04:01As they got into bed, Luke said,
04:04I almost forgot, but there's something I want to discuss with you, he said.
04:09She looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.
04:14I'm okay with not having kids.
04:18He said, her eyes grew wide.
04:21Are you just saying this to make me feel better?
04:24He shook his head.
04:26We haven't been married for long.
04:28It's normal not to have kids yet.
04:31He frowned.
04:32And why are you so hard on yourself?
04:35What if I'm the reason you can't get pregnant?
04:38She scoffed at him.
04:40You're fit and healthy.
04:43I doubt you're the problem.
04:45He shrugged.
04:46Well, I told my parents I was.
04:51Once what?
04:52She shrieked.
04:54Why would you tell them that?
04:56What if I get pregnant one day?
04:59They'll think I cheated on you.
05:00He burst into laughter.
05:03Then we'll tell them it's a miracle.
05:05Or there's been a breakthrough in science.
05:08She was still frowning.
05:09But you said you always wanted kids, she said.
05:13He pulled her closer.
05:14You don't know how much you mean to me.
05:17If I have to choose between having kids or being with you,
05:21I'll always choose you.
05:24He said, burying his face in her neck.
05:27She looked at him in surprise and became choked up
05:30as tears began rolling down her face.
05:33I'll never get enough time with you.
05:36He swore as he kissed away her tears.
05:39When he began kissing her neck, she grabbed his arm.
05:43It's my time of the month, she said.
05:46He rolled onto his back and kissed the side of her head instead.
05:49Better luck next time, he said, smiling at her.
05:54What? Are you scared?
05:56She joked, trailing a finger down his chest.
05:59He snorted, pushing her hand away gently.
06:02You're ridiculous.
06:04Go to sleep.
06:05She giggled and curled into his arms as she fell asleep.
06:09She thought.
06:10We may never have children, but I'll do whatever I can
06:14to make sure that we always have a loving home.
06:17The following morning, Mrs. Fanns had managed to increase her vote count,
06:22but by nighttime, her votes had been cleared again.
06:26I think we'll be able to track down the culprit soon, Eric said,
06:30as he sat with Emma in their living room.
06:33She leaned on him and said,
06:35We can't avoid this.
06:37We can't guarantee that my votes won't be cleared every time.
06:40Realizing she was unfamiliar with the voting process, he explained,
06:44If someone is suspected of cheating three times,
06:47they're automatically disqualified from audience votes.
06:50It doesn't matter that you're being framed.
06:53All the public can see is that your vote count
06:55keeps jumping from the highest to the lowest.
06:58Episode 538 The Old Man Puts Up a Fight
07:03Emma was coming to the realization that her success
07:06meant that other people would perceive her as standing in their way.
07:10The realization made her heart sink,
07:13but she was more determined than ever to stop the person
07:16who was interfering with the awards votes.
07:19Whoever it is has gotten away with meddling with the process for too long.
07:23It's time to take action, Eric thought.
07:27After reaching out to his contacts in the business,
07:30he was able to convince them to clear the fan votes for all the nominees.
07:34It was clear that there was cheating on all sides,
07:37so it wasn't fair to just penalize Emma.
07:40The organizers took the opportunity to change the rules for the voting process as well.
07:45Moving forward, they decided that only one vote could be submitted per IP address
07:51to give all the nominees a fair chance.
07:54That night, as the final votes piled in, Christopher called Emma.
07:59Is there anything you'd like to ask me?
08:01He said.
08:03She smiled and answered.
08:05Nope, I've done everything I can.
08:08I don't have any regrets, she said.
08:11That's the spirit.
08:12He said when he realized that his grandfather was on the call,
08:16Eric asked Emma for the phone.
08:18Shouldn't you be in bed, old man?
08:20He said jokingly.
08:22We youngsters are pretty tired already.
08:24Hey, you punk, shouldn't you be asking me to help out behind the scenes?
08:30Christopher joked back.
08:32Why does Emma need your help?
08:33Christopher grumbled at Eric for a bit and then said,
08:37good night after Eric set his phone down.
08:39Emma scolded him for being rude.
08:42You shouldn't talk to your grandfather like that.
08:46He rolled his eyes and said,
08:48he knows I'm joking.
08:50He gives as good as he gets anyway.
08:53She laughed and followed him to the bedroom.
08:56The next day, the top five nominees would be announced outside the American Entertainment
09:01Building.
09:02After a lot of back and forth, the judges placed an actress in a surrealist movie called
09:07Survive in fifth and Emma in sixth.
09:10Christopher was shocked when his team reported the results to him.
09:13He had thought she would rank at least in the top three.
09:17Emma should just be eliminated.
09:19She's the newest of the newcomers.
09:22The others have more experience and are probably better actors.
09:26One of the judges said, Christopher scoffed.
09:29It's the newcomer category.
09:31It's not based on experience.
09:33It's based on skill.
09:35The director frowned at him and said,
09:38among us, we have decades of experience.
09:41Do you really think we can't tell who can and can't act?
09:45If you think you know, tell us which of the 10 actors doesn't deserve to be nominated.
09:51Gladly, Christopher replied with narrowed eyes.
09:55He called for one of the interns to bring up the sample films for Survive and Weird
10:00Husband on the conference television so they could compare the climaxes of both films.
10:06Forget how long they've been acting and how many films they've started.
10:11Let's look at their acting ability.
10:13The main character in Survive was a blind engineer.
10:16The climax of the movie was an emotionally raw scene where the clever character struggled
10:22to defend herself.
10:24Despite not being able to see her bullies.
10:27The actor's performance was flawless in the climax of Weird Husband.
10:32Emma's character frantically searches her body in the bathroom to determine whether
10:37she's contracted the virus and would turn into a monster.
10:40Her panic and horror eventually turn into relief when she realizes she hasn't been
10:46infected in only three minutes.
10:49Emma had successfully portrayed an extreme range of emotions.
10:54The excellent performance by both actresses made it difficult to choose between the two
10:59films.
11:00Christopher smiled and said, I'm not trying to protect anyone in particular, but I can't
11:05find a reason.
11:06Emma should be eliminated based on her acting.
11:10In that case, are you saying we should eliminate the actress from Survive?
11:15A judge asked, and then accusatory tone.
11:18Actually, I'm questioning whether nominees one through four performed as well as the
11:23fifth and sixth.
11:25I wasn't aware that we were in the habit of giving participation trophies just because
11:30someone has released a lot of movies.
11:32If you want to baby them, we can just buy them candy.
11:36Christopher replied to emphasize his point.
11:40Christopher played clips of the films for the four other actors.
11:44It was clear by the other judges faces that they too saw the issues in the other performances,
11:50but they still didn't change their decision.
11:52Can someone tell me why you're also determined to eliminate Emma?
11:56He asked.
11:58When they remained silent, he threw his hands up in frustration.
12:02Absolutely ridiculous, he said.
12:05Christopher was determined to stand up for his grandson's wife, not knowing the worst
12:09was yet to come.
