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.
00:01:03Yes.
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.
00:01:15You're shit on my sheets.
00:01:17I've been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years.
00:01:32And I have the perfect plan.
00:01:35Hey, babe.
00:01:36Hey.
00:01:37How 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.
00:01:44Yeah?
00:01:45Yeah.
00:01:46Well, if you did a good job, you'll 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,
00:01:52it's been really, really difficult lately to, you know, even get a call back.
00:01:58Well, I did offer you a few roles, but you didn't want them.
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.
00:02:16Yeah, but I don't want to flirt or, you know, use 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.
00:02:28Pretty little thing like you, you know, you've got to sweet talk your way to the top.
00:02:33Those acting skills alone are not going to be enough.
00:02:36No, I'm not going to flirt my way to the top.
00:02:39Yes, I'm committed to you.
00:02:42So why can't you put me in your movies?
00:02:45Because the kind of movies that I'm producing you are not right for.
00:02:51Hmm.
00:02:53We've talked about this.
00:02:54I know.
00:02:55I just feel like there's nothing going right in my life right now.
00:03:03Anyway, I got you something.
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 an audition
00:03:28because 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 that.
00:04:03Just 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.
00:04:12Mary, like I said, I got you something.
00:04:16Hey.
00:04:18And it's beautiful.
00:04:24There was one more thing I wanted to talk to you about later.
00:04:28What?
00:04:30You know what?
00:04:31Don'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?
00:04:39Yeah.
00:04:40We'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.
00:05:15I mean, I love all the classics and, you know, come to the library and get to chill out and
00:05:21just escape the world.
00:05:23Yeah, exactly.
00:05:25You know, I'm actually writing a screenplay on this book.
00:05:27Oh, you're a screenplay writer.
00:05:29Wow, 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.
00:05:36Very cool.
00:05:37I 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.
00:05:48Tell me about it.
00:05:50Yeah, you feel me?
00:05:51Yeah.
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53No, I'm struggling as well, but I have a feeling that things are going to come around, you
00:05:58know?
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.
00:06:13Look, I 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.
00:06:26It's just, it is a lot on my mind.
00:06:28Do you want to talk about it?
00:06:31No, there's not much to say.
00:06:33I mean, a relationship with a man that doesn't want to be in public with me, a relationship
00:06:40has 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?
00:06:54Do 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
00:07:05you I'm not friends with him in any way.
00:07:08No, 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
00:07:43and as excited as I am because I just, you know, I really can't wait to meet her.
00:07:49Yeah, that's sweet.
00:07:51And yeah, I'm sure he'll come around.
00:07:54He probably just needs time.
00:07:56Yeah, I know, I know.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:00I love how positive you are.
00:08:02You're beautiful, Alex.
00:08:04Well, thank you.
00:08:06You're not so bad yourself.
00:08:08Yeah, I really needed your company today.
00:08:11This has been lovely.
00:08:13I know we just met, but something tells me we would make really good friends.
00:08:19I think so too.
00:08:20So, I don't know if you're supposed to cheers coffee, but...
00:08:23Do it.
00:08:24Who cares?
00:08:25Cheers to that.
00:08:28So, I mean, you like books?
00:08:31Yeah, I love books.
00:08:33Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved to read and, you know,
00:08:36escaped to this other place other than the real world.
00:08:40After you.
00:08:41Such a gentleman.
00:08:45Wow, 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, books 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.
00:09:13I 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.
00:09:31Okay.
00:09:32Any rereads you wanted to pick up?
00:09:34I'll challenge you to one.
00:09:36Okay.
00:09:38Um, I've had Chikov on my mind lately.
00:09:42Excellent choice, my lady.
00:09:44I'll be right back.
00:09:45Just.
00:09:46Oh, there you go.
00:09:47Take a look at that.
00:09:51I bet you're going to have so much to talk about when we next see each other.
00:09:57Alex, I'm sorry to bring it up again, but.
00:10:02No, I really wish that Mitch would do this type of thing with me.
00:10:07He never takes me anywhere.
00:10:08He's so adamant on our relationship being a secret.
00:10:13Well, I mean, he should at least take you to low profile places like this.
00:10:19Have you ever asked him to?
00:10:21Like a million times?
00:10:23Never listens.
00:10:25I mean, I think most of our time together is, you know, more passionate, more rushed.
00:10:32Sounds fun.
00:10:36Sorry, Alex.
00:10:37I have to take this.
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:54Mitch.
00:10:55Hey.
00:10:58No, no.
00:11:01I meant to tell you in person.
00:11:03I got really excited and you were busy on set.
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 and it would be really lovely
00:11:31for 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.
00:11:50Come 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.
00:12:34Come 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!
00:12:53Please, please, please.
00:12:54Can we just have...
00:13:02Claire, are you following this?
00:13:04Oh, Jesus.
00:13:05Hey.
00:13:06Hey, you okay?
00:13:08Come here.
00:13:12Okay.
00:13:14Just calm down.
00:13:16Let's take a moment, yeah?
00:13:18Just breathe, okay?
00:13:21Okay.
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...
00:13:49Hey.
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'm sorry, Alex, because...
00:14:31I don't know what to do.
00:14:33I'm a single mum.
00:14:36I don't have any ability, 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'm sorry.
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?
00:15:15I know, but I just thought that we'd have a future together.
00:15:18I know.
00:15:20I love him, Alex.
00:15:22I love him.
00:15:24I really...
00:15:26I thought that, you know, he would pick me over his job.
00:15:32Apparently not.
00:15:34Well, nothing is stopping you from raising this baby on your own, okay?
00:15:40And 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?
00:15:47But nothing is working.
00:15:50Exactly.
00:15:51You've got the fundamental thing figured out.
00:15:53Everything else...
00:15:56I don't know what I'm scared for.
00:15:58I'm really scared.
00:16:01You know, I thought we'd have this future together and, you know, he would...
00:16:14He 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.
00:16:30He can't have kids and they're too much of a hustle.
00:16:34Okay.
00:16:35He said that about our baby.
00:16:39Hey.
00:16:40Just stay here.
00:16:43I'll be back.
00:16:44Just...
00:16:45Hey.
00:16:46Give me a moment, okay?
00:16:48Yeah?
00:16:49Are you okay?
00:16:50You're such a good friend.
00:16:51Just...
00:16:52I'll be back.
00:16:53Just give me a minute.
00:16:54Oh, shit.
00:16:55Oh, 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.
00:17:29It'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.
00:17:43You don't remember what it was.
00:17:45Alex, I have had so much fun with you today.
00:17:49You know, I have felt so much joy until this went down.
00:17:54You know, 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'm sorry, 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, you know?
00:18:13And Mitch doesn't really understand that.
00:18:19You 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.
00:18:43Hey, happy birthday, Chloe.
00:18:48I'm so glad you came.
00:18:50Of course I came.
00:18:51Wouldn'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.
00:19:04Mm-hmm.
00:19:08Wow, this is a really nice place.
00:19:13Mitch pays 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 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.
00:19:37You know what?
00:19:39Let's just celebrate your birthday,
00:19:41you can treat me to the special tradition that you have planned.
00:19:45Oh, yes, I'm going to blow your mind.
00:19:48I'm excited.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50So this is an old family recipe and it has a special.
00:19:58Ingredient?
00:19:59Mm-hmm.
00:20:00Okay, and what would that be?
00:20:03Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
00:20:11Usually I bake this cake every year and Mitch and I usually celebrate my
00:20:15birthday together.
00:20:18Well.
00:20:19I just, I wish that he would text or call or something, you know,
00:20:23it's my birthday.
00:20:25Well, that's his loss.
00:20:27All 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.
00:20:40I know, I know, I know, but I wanted to, okay.
00:20:44It's your special day.
00:20:45And I wanted to give you something, especially with, you know,
00:20:48everything that's going on and down.
00:20:51I just felt like I needed to cheer you up.
00:20:54Thanks.
00:20:58Wow.
00:20:59I wasn't expecting this.
00:21:02It's not much, but.
00:21:07It's beautiful.
00:21:09I love it.
00:21:12Oh, 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,
00:21:24I only met you a little while ago and you have been there for me through all
00:21:27of this and the present.
00:21:30And you're just a beautiful friend.
00:21:35Thing is, I can't even confide in my family.
00:21:38So, you know, I'm glad I've got you.
00:21:41Like not even your mom, nothing.
00:21:43No, I'm not allowed to breathe the word of this to anyone.
00:21:47You know, Mitch says that it will ruin his reputation.
00:21:50It'll ruin our careers.
00:21:52So I don't know.
00:21:53Like, do you, do you think that's true, Alex?
00:21:58I mean, yes, yes.
00:22:01The press sometimes leak things and expose truths that people don't like.
00:22:06But, you know,
00:22:07I think that people shouldn't keep secrets like that and fear them getting
00:22:11exposed.
00:22:13You know, Mitch, he, he practically, as I said, he pays for everything.
00:22:18You know, he, he's got my house, my car, my clothes, my food.
00:22:23And the only thing that he asks is I keep quiet.
00:22:26So what do I do with that?
00:22:29I'm indebted to him, Alex.
00:22:31He's been really kind to me.
00:22:33Okay.
00:22:34So what he pays your bills and expects you to stay silent.
00:22:37Yeah, Alex.
00:22:39That's all he asks of me.
00:22:40You know, I'm completely dependent on him.
00:22:42I don't have a stable job and he's been really kind to me.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:47Well, have you thought about getting a stable job?
00:22:50I've gone for a thousand auditions.
00:22:52No, no one will give me a chance.
00:22:54No, I don't want to do a role that, you know,
00:22:58I want a role that, you know, it presses people and it means something,
00:23:03you know, not showing my body.
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:06Well, that's what you deserve.
00:23:07All right.
00:23:08Cause you're an amazing actor.
00:23:10Can I tell you something that happened the other day?
00:23:14It was really strange.
00:23:15Yeah.
00:23:16Yes.
00:23:17You can tell me anything.
00:23:18Yeah.
00:23:19So I went for an audition for a role I really wanted and I booked it.
00:23:22I'm so happy.
00:23:25I did.
00:23:26But then something really weird happened.
00:23:29What happened?
00:23:30I, I, I got dropped.
00:23:34And to this day, like, I still don't understand what happened.
00:23:38You know, I, I got the news right after I got the phone to Mitch.
00:23:42Wait.
00:23:45So you're saying that they dropped you after you told Mitch.
00:23:48Yeah.
00:23:49And I wanted him to be proud of me.
00:23:50You know,
00:23:51I was going to show him that I was going to make my place in the
00:23:53industry.
00:23:54No.
00:23:55And I even organized a meeting with the director.
00:23:58Yeah.
00:23:59And 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.
00:24:08And then he just walked away and said, why don't you go do Mitch's
00:24:10projects instead of other people's.
00:24:12Okay.
00:24:13Well, do you think that maybe Mitch had something to do with it?
00:24:19Mitch would never do that to me.
00:24:21And 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.
00:24:26Okay.
00:24:27Okay.
00:24:28Well then why doesn't he put you in one of his projects?
00:24:29He says that, you know,
00:24:31the roles aren't right for me and that I need to go and work at other
00:24:34people'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.
00:24:46Hey baby.
00:24:48How are you?
00:24:50And you wouldn't forget my birthday.
00:24:52Oh, my special cake.
00:24:56Mitch.
00:24:57I thought you were ringing up to wish me happy birthday.
00:25:02No.
00:25:05Mitch.
00:25:06No.
00:25:08I have kept this relationship for a secret for years.
00:25:11Okay.
00:25:12You have no right to ask me to do something like that.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18Mitch.
00:25:19No.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:21End of discussion.
00:25:22I won't.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:24Just leave it.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27Just leave it.
00:25:28He doesn't deserve to be here.
00:25:29Clear.
00:25:30It's going to be okay.
00:25:31All right.
00:25:32Don't let him ruin your birthday.
00:25:33I just don't get it.
00:25:35Alex.
00:25:36He, we were, we were in love and he's changed so much.
00:25:42You know, I even said that I'd leave the industry for him.
00:25:45I give up my dream.
00:25:46And I thought that one day he might marry me.
00:25:48I just don't get it.
00:25:51And you know what?
00:25:54I know what I'm having.
00:25:57Alex, I'm going to have a little baby girl.
00:26:03Why can't he just want a baby?
00:26:10Clear.
00:26:15You are going to be the most amazing mother.
00:26:22Okay.
00:26:23The mother of a beautiful little girl.
00:26:30Do you know what, Alex?
00:26:36I've got a name for her.
00:26:40What is it?
00:26:41I'm going to call it Clara.
00:26:43Do you like it?
00:26:45I love it.
00:26:51Alex.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:54How's the screenplay coming along?
00:26:56Yeah, not, not great.
00:26:59Dude, 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.
00:27:11Could you hear back from Liberty Studios?
00:27:13Dude, the screenplay you sent me was a banger.
00:27:15Well, according to them, it's a pretentious,
00:27:18controversial and 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, uh, you've been on any of Mitch's sets recently?
00:27:34Oh, yeah.
00:27:35No, he's shooting one down in 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
00:27:51for the last couple of months.
00:27:53And they're saying that he's going to propose soon.
00:27:58No, there's no way.
00:27:59That wouldn't affect the shoot, sure.
00:28:01You think Mitch cares?
00:28:03It's Mitch.
00:28:04Oh, my God, that guy is such a leech.
00:28:08Hey, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
00:28:11Mitch goes through women like he goes through cigars.
00:28:14Right?
00:28:15They won't last long.
00:28:20All right.
00:28:21Well, um, I guess I'll be going then.
00:28:26The missus and my dog are probably waiting for me
00:28:28back at home, so.
00:28:30Except you're not married, so.
00:28:33Well, I am in my mind.
00:28:35But that'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?
00:29:19Pick out some books.
00:29:20Reading is very relaxing.
00:29:21It'll be good for you.
00:29:24Yeah, you're right.
00:29:26All right.
00:29:28Did you want anything?
00:29:29Do you want me to recommend you something good?
00:29:32I think I was feeling Oscar Wilde today.
00:29:36Spectacular.
00:29:37Excellent choice.
00:29:39The Importance of Being Earnest will be your next read,
00:29:43and 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 let it go, and we'll look at some books,
00:30:11and 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.
00:30:44You know what the press are like.
00:30:45They don't care if something's true.
00:30:46They'll 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.
00:30:58Now, 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, though?
00:31:34Of course.
00:31:36And I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to realize it,
00:31:39but I know what I want now.
00:31:45Sweetheart, listen.
00:31:48What you read is all lies, I swear.
00:31:53And 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.
00:32:13Okay.
00:32:14All 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.
00:32:40Just, Mitch, I couldn't stomach the thought of you going out with another woman,
00:32:46you marrying another woman, and then I'm pregnant with our baby girl.
00:32:51I just couldn't.
00:32:53Of course.
00:32:55Look, 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 have missed you so much these past few months,
00:33:11and I'm so sorry for everything.
00:33:19I missed you too.
00:33:22I really thought I'd lost you too.
00:33:25Never.
00:33:27You could never lose me.
00:33:29Not even if you tried.
00:33:31Now, why don't I take you out on Friday night and make up for it,
00:33:35and we start to make up for it somewhere special, yeah?
00:33:38Where are we going?
00:33:40Well, that's a surprise.
00:33:42But it'll be just the two of us.
00:33:44Like the good old days.
00:33:46Yeah, I was so angry at Alex, you know?
00:33:48Like I marched into his house when I confronted him.
00:33:51Do you know what even threatened him?
00:33:54Really?
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:56I told him that I would tell the tabloid about everything.
00:33:58You said that to him?
00:33:59You said that to Mitch?
00:34:00Yeah.
00:34:01I don't know what came over me.
00:34:02Like I was so mad.
00:34:04What?
00:34:05The magazine.
00:34:06And I hit him.
00:34:07It's much too bad.
00:34:08Yeah.
00:34:09And then the next minute, he was, you know, telling me that he loved me,
00:34:13and he was holding my hand, and he said he wants to be a family,
00:34:17and it was beautiful.
00:34:19Alex, I think he may have proposed 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.
00:34:34I'm sorry.
00:34:36No, I don't know.
00:34:38Why would you say something like that to me?
00:34:41Like, Alex, why can't you be happy for me?
00:34:44Like if Mitch said it's a lie, it's a lie, okay?
00:34:48So if you can't be happy for me, then you should leave.
00:34:53Claire, 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?
00:34:59That'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.
00:35:06Come on, please.
00:35:07I'm begging you.
00:35:08Don't go.
00:35:12I'm sorry.
00:35:17You look absolutely beautiful.
00:35:19You know that?
00:35:23I've missed you, baby.
00:35:24I've missed you, too.
00:35:26You know, I've been thinking a lot about our life together,
00:35:28about 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 it.
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 can 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, weren't 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.
00:37:24Hey, be a big girl for once, huh?
00:37:27Want to pick a movie?
00:37:28Or do you want to make one?
00:37:30A movie would be nice.
00:37:33Oh, I missed your soft skin, huh?
00:37:37Mitch.
00:37:39Mitch.
00:37:40Come here.
00:37:41Come on, Mitch.
00:37:42Don't act like.
00:37:43Don't act like you've done that before.
00:37:45Mitch, Mitch, I'm pregnant.
00:37:48Mitch, I'm serious.
00:37:51God damn it.
00:37:55Hey, Alex.
00:37:57Hey, calm down.
00:37:59What's going on?
00:38:00Hey.
00:38:01I just have a really bad feeling about something.
00:38:04Okay.
00:38:05Claire and Mitch, that bastard.
00:38:08He pretended to apologize to her.
00:38:10Now he's taking her somewhere tonight.
00:38:12Mitch, is 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 and that he was going to
00:38:24take 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 apologized?
00:38:32Mitch apologized?
00:38:34He's never apologized to anyone in his life.
00:38:36Look, he.
00:38:39She threatened him, all right?
00:38:41She threatened to take the pregnancy to the press, okay?
00:38:45God, man.
00:38:48Claire threatened him?
00:38:50Yeah.
00:38:51She threatened Mitch?
00:38:52Yes.
00:38:53Nobody threatens Mitch.
00:38:55She's amazing, man.
00:38:56I'm telling you.
00:38:57I mean, her laugh, her smile, she's.
00:39:00God, she's so beautiful.
00:39:02How does that moron not see it?
00:39:04Sounds like you've fallen pretty hard.
00:39:06Look, I don't care about that right now, okay?
00:39:10All I care about is that she is safe and as far away from that bastard as possible.
00:39:15God, where is he taking her?
00:39:18Look, I did overhear Mitch saying that 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.
00:39:28Then it was a studio.
00:39:30Some 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, man.
00:39:57Claire!
00:40:01Claire!
00:40:02Claire!
00:40:08Oh.
00:40:15Smile, sweetheart.
00:40:17You know, you wanted it as well.
00:40:19I needed that.
00:40:21You didn't have to be so rough.
00:40:23You know, I'm pregnant, and...
00:40:26Oh, baby, baby, baby.
00:40:29No one forced you to come here.
00:40:32Don't act so innocent.
00:40:34Probably planned that little fucking brat as well just to try and trap me.
00:40:37What?
00:40:39Mitch, I thought you were...
00:40:41I 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? You?
00:41:00Come on.
00:41:01Okay, okay.
00:41:03Do you think that I ever loved you?
00:41:05You're nothing to me, you hear me?
00:41:07You're worthless. You're shit on my shoe.
00:41:10Huh?
00:41:11I've got something for you. I'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, baby.
00:41:23Big breaths. Big breaths.
00:41:27She'll breathe in soon.
00:41:29Huh? That'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. Claire, is she okay? Is Claire here?
00:42:33Sir, please calm down. We'll tell you in a minute. You need to rest.
00:42:36I need to see Claire. Is she okay? Is she here? Is she okay?
00:42:39Your injuries are extremely serious.
00:42:40How 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.
00:42:56Is she alright? Is she hurt?
00:42:59Sir, I am deeply sorry to say that the woman didn't make it.
00:43:04No. No. No, she...
00:43:08That's not true. I don't believe you. Where is she? I need to see her, please.
00:43:12I need to see her!
00:43:14Please. She can't be gone. I need to see Claire. She can't be gone.
00:43:18Sir, 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. Her body is disfigured beyond recognition.
00:43:30But we were able to save the baby.
00:43:33The baby? Clara, she's alive.
00:43:35The baby is still premature and is in the incubation room.
00:43:38But she is breathing. And she is alive.
00:43:41Oh, Clara. Oh, she's alive.
00:43:50Can I see her? Can I see the baby?
00:43:52Sir, we will bring her here where she can breathe on her own.
00:43:55You need to rest for now.
00:44:06Claire. Nice to meet you.
00:44:08Claire. Happy birthday, Claire.
00:44:10Stop. Don't do that.
00:44:12Claire? Please. Please, I'm begging you, don't go.
00:44:15I think we'd be really good friends.
00:44:17Claire.
00:44:20Are you Alex?
00:44:22Yes.
00:44:26You must be Claire's mum.
00:44:30Sir. Nice to meet you.
00:44:34I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.
00:44:37Claire always spoke so highly of you.
00:44:42What happened to my daughter?
00:44:44How did this happen?
00:44:46What happened to my daughter?
00:44:48How did this happen?
00:44:52It was an accident.
00:44:55I couldn't save her.
00:44:57I'm so sorry.
00:44:59They told me she was pregnant and the baby survived.
00:45:02I didn't know what was going on in Claire's life.
00:45:05She wouldn't tell me anything.
00:45:08And it's the father. Where is he?
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:14When I met Claire, she was already pregnant.
00:45:17She never talked about him.
00:45:19I never asked.
00:45:21How did you keep such a big secret from me?
00:45:24My poor Claire.
00:45:26And the father's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:29And the baby's nowhere to be seen.
00:45:31Even when she was alive.
00:45:34And I don't think he's going to be turning up any time soon.
00:45:37I am terrible.
00:45:40My poor daughter and her poor child.
00:45:45Oh, she's beautiful.
00:45:51She 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.
00:46:07Baby Clara.
00:46:09You're coming with me now.
00:46:12SHE SOBS
00:46:15Hey.
00:46:17You're going to be OK.
00:46:20What tells me that she'll grow up an orphan?
00:46:24Oh, I hope her father changes his mind and shows up.
00:46:28Now that Claire's gone,
00:46:31he's needed more than ever.
00:46:35He...
00:46:38If he changes his mind and shows up,
00:46:41please let me know.
00:46:45I'll come and visit the two of you from time to time.
00:46:48If that's all right,
00:46:50I'll check and make sure that everything's OK.
00:46:53See if Clara needs anything.
00:46:57For Claire's sake.
00:47:04You're too kind.
00:47:06I'm so glad Claire had someone like you in her life.
00:47:10SHE SOBS
00:47:29All right, time to celebrate.
00:47:32Happy birthday, Clara.
00:47:34Oh, I've been so looking forward to today.
00:47:37Well, it's a very important birthday for you.
00:47:39Please, blow out the candles.
00:47:44How's it important?
00:47:46Well, first of all, you have had such an amazing year.
00:47:49I mean, the roles that you have landed
00:47:51and everything that you have accomplished,
00:47:53and at such a young age.
00:47:55I am so, so proud of you.
00:47:57Girl, you heard them two by yourself.
00:48:00Well, practically, them both sought after Swimming Bride
00:48:02I ever wanted to buy them boogie.
00:48:04It's a deal to have so much money.
00:48:06Well, come on.
00:48:07I mean, you're the one who's so successful
00:48:09and knows what it means to be talented, all right?
00:48:12I was just a humble guy until just recently.
00:48:15Well, I couldn't have done any of this without you as well.
00:48:18No, no, you're the one with the talent
00:48:20and you have such a good head on your shoulders.
00:48:23I mean, most actors don't, especially at a young age.
00:48:27So many of them get this unpleasant sobriety.
00:48:32I've heard about that.
00:48:33Thankfully, I've gotten this far unscathed.
00:48:36Clara.
00:48:38I think it's time that you knew something.
00:48:41Go on.
00:48:43I think that it's time that you knew the truth about your parents.
00:48:48My parents? What about my parents?
00:48:50Has my father come around?
00:48:51No, no.
00:48:53The passing of your mother and the absence of your father
00:48:58occurred under very complex circumstances.
00:49:03I think I've asked Nana like a million and two times about what happened.
00:49:07She always gives me the same exact story.
00:49:10Mama was an actress and she moved away to find more gigs
00:49:14and there was just less and less communication
00:49:16until, bam, she showed up one day, dead.
00:49:20Serious and I was just left with no dad.
00:49:25Well, just get ready because it is a lot to take in.
00:49:30Okay, so I met your mother 20 years ago.
00:49:34She had just found out that she was pregnant with you.
00:49:38That's insane.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:40Did you guys work together?
00:49:41No, no, no, no.
00:49:42I mean, I was a nobody back then.
00:49:44We both were.
00:49:46We had a lot in common and she was very distressed and lonely at the time
00:49:52or she just happened to meet me at a very dark time in her life.
00:49:57What about my father?
00:49:59Your father is a famous and powerful producer.
00:50:04He's a producer?
00:50:05Does he know that his daughter is an actress?
00:50:07I believe he thinks his child died with Claire.
00:50:12So can you tell him that I'm alive and well?
00:50:15No, I can't.
00:50:16Not like this, at least.
00:50:19Look, your father did not want Claire to have you, right?
00:50:22He insisted that she had an abortion.
00:50:26Oh.
00:50:28So they didn't want me?
00:50:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:50:32Your mother wanted you more than anything, alright?
00:50:34She was ready to stand against the whole world to have you.
00:50:37She chose you over your father, a man that she depended on for almost everything.
00:50:44But why did she have to die?
00:50:48I'll get to that, alright?
00:50:50Just let me finish.
00:50:52How did she die?
00:50:54I'll get to that.
00:50:55Just let her finish.
00:50:58So, your father had flings with a lot of actresses and he was never committed to any of them.
00:51:06Your mother trusted him blindly and she thought that he was committed to her.
00:51:12And the only thing your father was committed to is his career, his public image.
00:51:16I see.
00:51:18So, he tried to convince your mother to get rid of the baby.
00:51:21He told her that he wasn't going to have it.
00:51:24He didn't want the press to find out about it.
00:51:26He said he couldn't have a baby unless he was married and he didn't want to marry your mother either.
00:51:30And why not?
00:51:32Because he wanted to marry a more successful actress instead for his public image.
00:51:38Who is she? Do I know her?
00:51:40We'll get to that, okay?
00:51:42So, he kept phoning your mother, he kept trying to get her to get an abortion.
00:51:47And as much as the idea of you growing up without a father and with little money hurt your mother,
00:51:52she was convinced to try and change your father's mind.
00:51:55She was determined to have you.
00:51:58Oh my God.
00:51:59So, one day I took her to this old vintage bookstore and she saw pictures of your father
00:52:08and another actress on a tabloid sprawled over the front page.
00:52:12It said that they were allegedly in a relationship and that they were planning on getting married.
00:52:17Oh my God.
00:52:18Your mother, she was one of the most kindest and nicest people that I'd ever met.
00:52:25But I had never seen her so furious.
00:52:28She was so angry that she went to your father and threatened him to leak it to the press.
00:52:34What did he have to say for himself?
00:52:36He got scared and he started lying, convincing her that the press was making it all up
00:52:41and that he'd changed his mind about the baby, saying that he was going to take care of the both of you.
00:52:46I warned your mother.
00:52:48I tried my best, saying he could not be trusted, but your mother was so happy.
00:52:54She didn't listen to my warnings.
00:52:57The next thing I knew, your father had taken her to a studio and strangled her in a car.
00:53:05I was with a friend at the time and I was ranting on about how Claire was going out with Mitch
00:53:11and I knew something was going to happen.
00:53:15Then he told me that Mitch was taking a woman to an abandoned studio.
00:53:19I rushed there as quickly as I could, but I was too late.
00:53:26What happened next? How did we even get out of there?
00:53:29I got to the studio and I saw Mitch had a towel around your mother's mouth.
00:53:34I tried to rescue her. I ran there as fast as I could, but his men were still there and they beat me until I passed out.
00:53:42Alex, how did we get out of there alive?
00:53:46People heard screaming. They called the cops and that's how you and I got to the hospital.
00:53:53You were alright. Your mother wasn't so lucky.
00:54:01I just can't believe my father did something like that.
00:54:06Alex, who is this monster?
00:54:10Once we were at the hospital, I called your grandmother and we made arrangements for how you were going to be raised.
00:54:16She asked me what happened, but I couldn't tell her. I gave her enough to give her closure.
00:54:24No, Alex, you did the right thing. Nana could not have known about any of this. It would have been too much for her to bear.
00:54:34I had a great childhood and we had you, so thank you for any help you could have, Sunshine.
00:54:44Please, who is my father?
00:54:53The producer, Mitch Sterling, is your father.
00:55:03What? Yuck. Yuck. He is such a creep.
00:55:10He was a creep back then too. A heartless one.
00:55:14You know, he's got a wife and kids and I know for a fact that he gets around. He gets with barely legal starlets. Poor Oxen.
00:55:23That's the one.
00:55:26You know, he's been begging me to be in his new project and I keep turning him down because something about him makes me so uncomfortable.
00:55:35You're a lot wiser than your mother was back then. She was just too innocent for this industry.
00:55:43I guess that's how a guy like Mitch was able to dig his claws into her.
00:55:48But doesn't he suspect for a second that I could be his daughter that survived?
00:55:53I don't think Mitch has been with too many women at this point and I think he's just forgotten about Clem.
00:56:00What a pig. I can't believe he's gotten away with this for this long.
00:56:06He has a lot of influence and creating a scandal around your birth and everything, it just, it would have ruined your childhood.
00:56:16I couldn't do that to you. So I kept everything a secret.
00:56:23It's not right, Alex. None of this is right. There must be some way that we can get back at him for all that he's done.
00:56:34We need a plan.
00:56:35Let's give him that scandal that he's been running from for the past 20 years. I'll confront him in public.
00:56:47I'll make a whole scene and I don't think it'll affect my career that much, but hopefully his will be ruined.
00:56:54Well, I have been thinking about revenge for the last 20 years and I have the perfect plan.
00:57:05I've been writing this screenplay and I've been writing it for years.
00:57:10Go on.
00:57:11When your mother passed, I knew that I wanted to tell the story, so I started writing a screenplay about it.
00:57:18So you're going to make a movie?
00:57:19Yes. Yes. A movie that accurately portrays what happened.
00:57:23And as Mitch sees it, he will be riddled with guilt.
00:57:28Is he going to go for it?
00:57:31All right. The plan is I wanted to cast you as your mother.
00:57:37All right. I mean, you guys, you're so alike and I think it would be the perfect touch to get on his nerves.
00:57:43The plan is we talk through it psychologically, you know, until he goes insane.
00:57:47The plan is to then change the names except for the main two ones, Claire and Mitch.
00:57:53I think that could actually work.
00:57:55Yeah. I'm in.
00:57:58Okay. Well, you need to be sure about this, right?
00:58:02You need to make sure that you are ready because we've got a lot of work to do.
00:58:05So we've got to get started now.
00:58:07I'm ready to get started.
00:58:08We are going to ruin him.
00:58:10I just need you to calm down and make sure that you are prepared for it.
00:58:16Okay. You need to make sure that you are ready for this project.
00:58:20Because if not, if this goes south, there could be consequences.
00:58:25I know. I know. And I promise I will carefully decide what to do.
00:58:30These are some of your mother's things.
00:58:32I saved them for you after she passed.
00:58:36And this is her diary that she kept when she was in a relationship with Mitch.
00:58:44I want you to have it.
00:58:45It will help you prepare for the role.
00:58:47Okay.
00:58:48I'm ready.
00:58:49I'm ready.
00:58:50I'm ready.
00:58:51I'm ready.
00:58:52I'm ready.
00:58:53I'm ready.
00:58:54I'm ready.
00:58:55I'm ready.
00:58:56I'm ready.
00:58:57I'm ready.
00:58:58I'm ready.
00:59:00Well, congratulations!
00:59:04Our movie was a box office hit.
00:59:06And guess what?
00:59:07That's not even the best part.
00:59:08Ah, I see.
00:59:10You're still thinking ahead about Mitch's reaction.
00:59:11I mean how could I not?
00:59:13Did you see his face?
00:59:16God, he must be going insane.
00:59:18I mean, the movie is everywhere.
00:59:20Right?
00:59:21I still can't see what my mom saw in Mitch.
00:59:25He is so sensitive.
00:59:27Mitch. He is so arrogant. You know, he was begging me to be in his new production and
00:59:33still found time to brag about himself.
00:59:35Well, you know, people make mistakes when they're as sincere as your mother. And I mean,
00:59:40come on, that's just classic Mitch, right? I mean, he's literally cheating on the woman
00:59:44that he ended up marrying. God, I think he's such a worthless, pathetic worm.
00:59:50I just, I can't even stand running into him at events. It makes me want to vomit thinking
00:59:55about what he did to my mother. I can't believe that man is my biological father.
01:00:00Look, he is not your father. All right. A parent is someone who watches over you as
01:00:05you grow up and he never even tried. Okay. You know, I often wonder like, even if he
01:00:12hated your mother so much that he ended up murdering her, I mean, how could he be so
01:00:16heartless about his own child?
01:00:20You've been more of a father to me than Mitch ever could be. You were the one that looked
01:00:24over me while I was growing up an orphan.
01:00:26You know, I, I just did the right thing. You know, like I feel so terrible about how you
01:00:33were treated and what happened to you. It's for you. I want the life that your mother
01:00:39dreamed of. All right. And she was, she was fragile, but God, I'm just in awe of her strength.
01:00:50I wish that it was you instead of Mitch that my mom fell in love with. I wish that I were
01:00:56your daughter.
01:00:57Hey, you are like a daughter to me. And don't you forget it.
01:01:01I mean, I wish you and mom happy. I can't help, but think how different all three of
01:01:06our lives would be if that were the case, especially mom's.
01:01:14If she was still here, I definitely would have said the two of you are.
01:01:20Wait, what? You liked my mom. You like liked, liked her.
01:01:26Okay. No, she was a dear friend. I mean, we had a lot in common and we were both
01:01:32struggling with our careers at the time.
01:01:35Well, come on. If things had worked out differently, you reckon you guys would have
01:01:39eventually gotten together.
01:01:41Clara, I met your mother when she suspected that she was pregnant with you. She was in a
01:01:49toxic, abusive relationship with Mitch and that took a toll on her. All right. I mean, she
01:01:55was so lonely that she confided in a stranger.
01:01:59I mean, today here, that stranger is seeking her justice. I, he asked me, I think that's
01:02:05very romantic.
01:02:06Yeah. Well, Mitch needs to be brought to justice. All right. And we are going to do that.
01:02:13He's going to pay for everything he did. I mean, God knows what else he's done that we
01:02:17don't know about.
01:02:18Well, anyone who's seen the movie and knows Mitch in real life, surely they've made
01:02:23some connections by now. They've got to be growing suspicious.
01:02:27Yeah. Well, we're going to make sure that they do. Our goal is to make it so that he
01:02:31breaks down and then just confesses to everything. I'm going to destroy his beloved
01:02:37career, the career for which he destroyed so many lives and broke so many hearts.
01:02:43And you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way.
01:02:52And you know, I've been torturing Mitch in a very special way. I've been sending him
01:03:00pictures of your mother from different addresses, you know, just messing with his head.
01:03:05I just hope Mitch doesn't sue us.
01:03:07No, he can't. I've thought about that before we made the movie. If he tries anything,
01:03:11then I'll just make sure that you and him take a DNA test and it'll just further prove
01:03:15what I'm accusing him of.
01:03:17It's surely only a matter of time before he confronts us.
01:03:20Well, I have a plan for when that eventually happens. I'm just waiting for his last
01:03:25nerve to crack. You know, I've been holding back the urge to beat the shit out of him
01:03:31for the last 20 years, but he's influential. So we have to be clever about how we do this.
01:03:38I, um, I've been enjoying what we're doing, the movie and my role. And it just is really,
01:03:46really hard to think about my mother this much.
01:03:50Well, you know, critics have been praising the way that you've played your part. All right. I mean,
01:03:59you've been nominated for like, wow, so many awards. And I had a feeling
01:04:04that you were going to win both.
01:04:06Well, don't sell yourself short. You came from what,
01:04:10penniless screenwriter. And now you're one of the greats. You didn't give yourself enough credit.
01:04:14You know that your mother was a struggling actress. You know,
01:04:17she barely got any work, even though she was so stunning.
01:04:22It just, it makes me so proud to see you just take over this industry.
01:04:28Well, I have been very lucky with roles and your influence doesn't hurt.
01:04:32Come on. No, you have been making waves without me. All right. That takes sheer
01:04:37talent. And then your mother wasn't so fortunate. She couldn't escape for
01:04:43the destruction that Mitch unleashed upon her. You know, I was so sure back then.
01:04:50And I still am to this day that he was sabotaging your mother's career,
01:04:54just making sure that she was financially and emotionally dependent on her
01:04:59so that she just couldn't escape.
01:05:03I mean, the more you tell me about Mitch, the more afraid I'm getting of him. If he
01:05:10found out who I really was, he would surely kill me. Look what he did to my mother.
01:05:14No, you, you are safe. He can't do shit to you. All right. You know, it's just,
01:05:19it's too big at this point.
01:05:20Yeah, but Alex, he's losing his mind. I've been hearing it from people. I even saw him at an
01:05:25event and he just seemed visibly shaken.
01:05:28Yeah, well, he's going to confront us soon. I'm sure of it.
01:05:41What is it?
01:05:45Oh, bingo. It's an email from his assistant.
01:05:49Oh my God.
01:05:50They're praising us for the movie. They're saying that,
01:05:55they're saying that they're very proud of what we did and that Mitch has been trying to get his
01:06:00hands on me for quite some time. And that they threw in a lot of comments about you too.
01:06:05Comments. Saying that, that he's always wanted to get you on all of his films and he's quite
01:06:12jealous of the fact that I got you.
01:06:14Well, I will never work with Mitch ever. Not over my dead body.
01:06:20He just invited me to an abandoned building to discuss a new project.
01:06:24An abandoned building. Oh, wow. That doesn't seem suspicious.
01:06:29Yes. Well, I think Mitch and I both know each other's intentions at this point.
01:06:33So it's definitely a trap.
01:06:36What are you going to do? Are you going to go?
01:06:38Well, I'm going to confront him. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind and you are going
01:06:43to come with me because I have a plan.
01:06:45Okay. Okay. What's the plan?
01:06:48Right. I want you to dress like your late mother the day that she died.
01:06:53Use your costume from the movie and just prepare to act like a ghost.
01:06:57And what? And just scare him?
01:06:59I want you to give him the fright of his life. All right. While I destroy him with my words,
01:07:05you are doing that. We've got.
01:07:07Okay. And then what?
01:07:09Then we wait for him to break down. He confesses everything and we call the cops.
01:07:15What if he knows that I'm Clara and not my dead mother's ghost just right from the get-go?
01:07:21It doesn't matter. All right. The goal is to stir up his guilt.
01:07:26What if he tries to kill us?
01:07:28Hey, like I said, we call the cops. It's up to you, bro.
01:07:34Okay. Okay.
01:07:37Yeah. I'm in.
01:07:39Let's do it.
01:07:45Mitch.
01:07:56So you're the scumbag who's been fucking with me.
01:07:59I've been holding on to my rage for the past 20 years.
01:08:04I'm going to make you pay for everything that you did to Clara.
01:08:12But you've got no evidence.
01:08:15And I'm never going to admit what I did or didn't do.
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 that you slept with,
01:08:29none of them were as good or as decent or as loyal to you as Clara was.
01:08:35That's good in bed. I'll give her that.
01:08:39She was just a bimbo who got what she deserved.
01:08:42And newsflash, mate. She's dead. Has been for a while, so I don't really see the point of all this.
01:08:51Do you know that her baby survived?
01:08:55Bullshit.
01:08:56There's no way. It's not medically possible.
01:08:59Nice try.
01:09:00Okay.
01:09:01Well, Clara, the starlet that you so desperately want in all of your projects.
01:09:09She's your daughter, Mitch.
01:09:15Did it ever occur to you how much she looks like Clara?
01:09:18Were you ever able to figure that one out?
01:09:22What do you want from me?
01:09:24I want to torture you for what you did to her.
01:09:27I want to make you suffer as much as you made Clara suffer before you murdered her.
01:09:34You listen here, you fucking bastard.
01:09:36One phone call from me, and you disappear forever. Got that?
01:09:40Hey?
01:09:41Mitch?
01:09:44Is it really you?
01:09:50Why did you kill me, Mitch?
01:09:53I told you the baby and I wouldn't bother you. Why did you have to do what you did?
01:10:02You shut up.
01:10:03You're not real.
01:10:05You're not real.
01:10:10I kept screaming your name, but you had your hand wrapped around my throat.
01:10:19I don't understand how carrying your child was such a crime that you had to murder me.
01:10:23I said, shut up! You shut up!
01:10:28You're not real.
01:10:29Clara is dead. I know that you're Clara.
01:10:31Mitch, I had so many dreams of you and me, and a happy ending.
01:10:39I would have given up anything for you, but not my child. Not our child.
01:10:49No, you just probably, what, you fucked someone else, tried to pass the kid off as mine.
01:10:54God, you are such a heartless pig. Her life literally revolved around you.
01:10:59And you, weaseling your way in, trying to forget my sloppy seconds.
01:11:05You're pathetic, both of you.
01:11:09I never loved anyone but you, Mitch.
01:11:14And you killed me.
01:11:18Have you ever thought about me?
01:11:21Even once, after all these years?
01:11:24Even once, after all these years?
01:11:29You're a hell of a good actress. I'll give you that.
01:11:33That what you want to hear?
01:11:36Where you kissed my cheek that night, and you held my hand.
01:11:42I thought all our troubles were really over.
01:11:49I had nothing, Mitch.
01:11:52No money.
01:11:54I cried myself to sleep every night.
01:11:59How do you know what happened between me and Claire?
01:12:04Answer me!
01:12:06And you whispered in my ear that everything was going to be okay.
01:12:13Then you got that look in your eye, and
01:12:17you pulled me by my hair, and you pushed me up against the wall.
01:12:22God, you fucking monster!
01:12:25I can take you and your career to places you couldn't otherwise have been.
01:12:29Leave her alone, all right? You see, you see, this, this is the kind of man that your father is.
01:12:34And you've wondered how he managed to murder your mother.
01:12:38This ends now.
01:12:41Piece of shit.
01:12:43It's okay.
01:12:44Piece of shit.
01:12:45It's okay.
01:12:47He's not big for one.
01:12:50I got the act, Clara. Last 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.
01:13:04No, Alex, no.
01:13:07You're not gonna do anything.
01:13:09Clara, this is not the time for forgiveness, all right?
01:13:11He needs to...
01:13:13I 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.
01:13:35I, I need to finish him.
01:13:39You know, Mitch, I loved you.
01:13:42So much.
01:13:44You're my everything.
01:13:46I would have given up everything for you.
01:13:50But you just couldn't bear the thought of 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, it's because you've got half my heart.
01:14:22Your mother was a lazy, weak, pathetic actress who kept sleeping with me for money.
01:14:28Now leave this fucking loser behind and let's take your career to the next level.
01:14:34What do you say?
01:14:35You shut up.
01:14:35You fucking shut up, you piece of shit liar.
01:14:38No, no, you don't.
01:14:41Clara, please, this, this is why we need to finish him.
01:14:43I need to end him now.
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, but
01:15:07because she was buried with it, I,
01:15:11and here I thought it was one of a kind.
01:15:20Alex, Alex, are you okay?
01:15:28Why are you looking at me like that?
01:15:31Did you give me that bracelet?
01:15:33What bracelet, Alex?
01:15:39No way.
01:15:42Is, is this?
01:15:45I think so.
01:15:48And it's only fitting that you get it.
01:15:53I mean, it's, it's beautiful, but how do you know it's beautiful?
01:16:02How?
01:16:04I don't know, but come on.
01:16:10We should get out of here.
