All language subtitles for dear husband

A driver lost control of the freeway causing a chain of car accidents, three are confirmed

dead, with 24 in total, all have been sent to St. Joseph Hospital, including movie actress

Stella Hill.

Coming to you live from CMC News.

What are you doing?

You're not supposed to be on your feet.

Are you trying to contact your husband?

We still need him to sign.

I can't sign my own discharge papers.

Hospital policy.

You suffered a concussion.

Either your husband needs to be here, or somebody else needs to sign on your behalf.

Okay?

Come on, Elijah.

Pick up, pick up.

Elijah?

It doesn't look that bad.

Mm, hurts.

I'm the one in the car accident.

I'm the one in the car accident. So why is my husband with another woman?

Holy shit, is that still the Hilda movie star?

I don't want your voice. But yes, that's her.

Wait, is that our new man? They said he was a billionaire,

but they didn't say anything about his looks. That man is a snack.

Yeah, doting too. Stella came in for something minor,

but the boyfriend insisted that we pull out all stops.

So she's got fame, looks, and a filthy rich boyfriend?

That bitch is living her best life.

What is it? Where are you?

I'm busy. What do you want? If you don't have anything to say,

don't bother calling me. Is your husband coming?

No, he's not. OMG, check this out.

Six weeks pregnant. It was my birthday.

That's why he never came home. Six weeks ago was my birthday.

He never came home that night. Turns out he was with Stella

and they're having a baby.

What the hell are you doing? I want a baby.

Besides, we haven't made love in three months. I'm your wife.

Don't you want me?

I'm your wife. Don't you want me?

Not right now. We talked about this.

Then when? Or never?

You forced me into this arrangement three years ago.

Now you want even more from me from this fucking sham of a marriage?

Sham? No, I didn't force you into anything.

I love you. I only wanted to be with you.

Drop the act. We both know that you married me for my money

and I married you to get my family off my back. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Where are you going? It's none of your business.

Have you ever loved me? Even for a second?

Elijah, I want a divorce.

Where are you going? Where does it look like I'm going?

I'm leaving. To the mall, you mean?

Do some retail therapy with my money? What part of I want a divorce don't you

understand? Besides, the quicker you sign those papers, the quicker you can move your

new girlfriend in. Isn't that what you want? Don't fuck around with me.

Let me go. Where are you going to go?

Where are you going to live? You can't even afford a pair of shoes on your own.

I'll find a job. You haven't worked a day in your life.

Everything that you have, all those luxuries that you're so used to, I provided.

Funny. Is that supposed to sound like care or concern?

There. I won't take another cent from you.

I'm going to go start my new life now. You can kiss my ass.

Oh, and one more thing. If you're having issues getting hard, I would highly suggest

seeing a dick doctor. Nobody wants to be stuck in a sexless marriage.

I've been married for three years.

Stop lying. You can stay with me for as long as you'd like.

Happy? Very? Yes.

I got to find a job ASAP. I mean, my mom's hospital bills are not going to pay themselves.

Well, I heard Director Quentin is holding auditions for his next film. I think you should do it.

What are you, crazy? No, that audition is for the lead role. My resume is absolutely blank.

I haven't acted in years.

Don't sell yourself short. You graduated at the top of your class at Juilliard.

You're way better than most of these actresses in Hollywood, especially that homewrecking bitch,

Stella Hill. You know what? You're right.

Okay, I am a changed woman. No more crying over Elijah. No more being jealous. I am going to go

to that audition, and I'm going to crush it. Yeah! Atta girl!

Elijah, that lead role Director Quentin's casting for? I want it.

I already spoke with Steve about it. It's yours.

You're the best. You know, I'm alone right now. How about you?

Beautiful.

Why do you want a divorce? I gave you everything you ever needed.

Oh, my God. She's gorgeous. She's got to be a big-time actress. I mean, look at her.

Surprised to see you here. Are you auditioning for a role?

Pretty sure the director's not looking to hire a monkey.

Well, I hope for your sake they're looking for a husband-stealing whore.

Go ahead. Give your fans a show.

Stole him from you? Oh, honey, you practically gave him to me.

Elijah hates you, by the way. He despises coming home and sharing the same air as you.

But we're very grateful. If it's a girl, maybe we'll name her after you.

Maybe we'll name her after you. Be my guest.

You know what? Maybe you and his next mistress can start a little tradition.

You'll have to let me know, since I won't be there to see it.

Oh, Elijah! Do you sure that I have the role? I still have to audition.

Yeah, it's just a formality. That bitch doesn't stand a chance.

Thank you so much, Elijah. Please? I'm in the workplace.

Jeez. Hey, Elijah!

I realize you're our biggest investor, but the director can't stand her.

He's got a final say on casting. My hands are tied.

I'll give you two million to untie them.

You've got to be kidding me.

Oh, James. You won't love me? You won't let me go?

Just tell me. Do you love me or Yvonne?

Cut. That was so good, wasn't it?

Okay, so, um, so you're, um, Ms. Hill.

Ms. Hill, um, see, I think your character, Sophie, uh, feels things sort of more

internally, which means, like, inside. So, um, but try to be in this place where

you're in love with James, but James has told you to go away because James is gonna marry Yvonne,

but then James tells you to come back. Do you understand?

Does she need an interpreter? I don't know.

Okay, all right, we're gonna move on. Who's next?

Oh, me. Who's next?

Oh, me. I'll go next.

You? You don't have any experience. Director, she's never acted in anything in her life.

You know, everybody has to start with something, and, you know,

I graduated top of my class at Juilliard, and I have excellent letters of recommendation.

Okay, what? You think this is a school variety talent show?

And no, this is the multi-million dollar production.

Just two minutes, please. That's, that's all I'm asking.

I actually couldn't care less. It'll be faster than getting the next person.

Just, just go, go, go. Just go. Thank you.

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

Where are you? I'm busy. What do you want?

James, you won't love me, and you won't let me go.

Just tell me who you love, me or Yvonne. You can't have us both.

I want a divorce.

Just, if you love Yvonne, then go be with her.

And you and I will never see each other again.

Um, I'm finished.

Um, I'm finished.

What is your name?

Oh, what is your name?

I need to call my mom.

Before you do, cancel every Sophie audition that I have the rest of this day.

Wait, so that means that...

You've got the part.

Steve, perfect timing.

Okay, I just found our leading lady, and you're going to...

Whoever that is, retract the offer.

What? Why?

The decision's already been made.

Stella Hill's gonna play Sophie.

Stella Hill?

My dead dog can act better than Stella Hill.

At least he can do a convincing play dead.

Steve, just give my pick a chance. You will not regret it.

Who's the actress?

She says her name is Emma Brown.

Emma Brown?

Isn't that your wife?

Isn't that your wife?

You can't have us both.

If you love Yvonne, then go be with her.

I didn't know she was so talented.

Reject her.

Don't make me repeat myself.

Um...

Unfortunately, there has been a miscommunication,

and the role is going to Stella Hill.

Stella? Could this be Elijah?

What is? Is it?

Dude, you just snatched a role away from your wife to give it to me.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I can't believe you.

You were going to leave your wife to give it to Stella.

Why?

Why?

Sean, you stupid bastard.

Why did you jump in front of me?

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, stay with me.

Hey, we're going to make it out of this thing alive, okay?

You're my best friend.

We're not going to make it.

She's the only family I got.

I need you to promise me to take care of her.

Promise me.

I'll take care of her, Sean.

Sean? Sean? Hey, hey, hey!

Meg! Fuck, Sean! Sean! Sean!

Stella's brother died because of me.

And I made a promise that I would take care of her.

At the expense of your wife?

She doesn't need a job.

Okay, not when she's married to me for my money.

You asshole! I heard everything!

You asshole! I heard everything that you said.

You know, I didn't think that you would stoop so low as to play dirty, but I guess I was wrong.

Welcome to the real world.

I'll keep auditioning. You don't own the whole world.

No. No, just part of it.

Listen, this is another one of your ploys to get my attention.

It's way easier to do it in bed.

Fuck you. You can't even get up.

I can. Get it up.

Well, I can't go to my meeting like this.

So?

I'm going to lose millions on this deal because of your little temper.

Well, you cost me my job, I cost you your deal. Sounds fair to me.

Nate? Is this spare shirt still in the car?

Good.

What the hell? Let go!

You want a divorce, right?

Papers are in the car. I'll sign them.

I hope you're full of it.

Or we could just stay married.

Lead the way.

Lead the way.

You see something you like?

I was just thinking you're lucky your body makes up for your shit personality.

Well, I guess that makes you the lucky one then, doesn't it?

Get off me.

The divorce papers. You said that they're here.

Yeah, I lied.

You are full of shit.

Hey! Hey, get off me! Put me down!

Asshole!

Hey!

Let me out!

Stop! Would you stop screaming?

Okay?

Look, I needed a place to talk to you. Privately.

Where others won't hear about our possible divorce.

Not just our possible divorce. It's going to happen.

Okay. Well, if you want it to happen without ruining both of our lives, then you'll listen to me.

My mother has invited us to dinner.

And I need you to be there as my wife.

My mother has invited us to dinner.

And I need you to be there as my wife.

Okay. Well, you better tell her that I'm not coming.

Okay. Well, you better tell her that I'm not coming.

You know my mom.

If she finds out we're divorcing, she's going to go on a war path.

And it won't just be us and her crosshairs. She'll take down your entire family.

What? You can stop her?

If she names me the successor of my family's business.

And she's only going to do that if we're married.

I can protect you and your family.

I would rather die than take another cent from you.

Take care of my family on my own.

Emma!

You're making a mistake.

I know I did.

By marrying you.

Dad?

Is everything okay?

Hey, kid.

I just need a little help.

I need you to talk Elijah into spotting me for 500,000.

Dad, did you get scammed again?

My savings account is already wiped out from last time.

Mom is still in the hospital.

I owe these people money.

Just ask your husband for help.

That's why I'm dead.

This is the mob we're talking about.

You were gambling again?

Dad, I need you to swear to me that this is the last time that this is going to happen.

Or you're never going to see me again. Is that clear?

I swear it, Emma.

When do you need the money by?

Two days.

What?

Just call Elijah, please.

Whatever you're asking for, the answer is no.

Damn it, Elijah.

It kills me to even type this.

I need to borrow $500,000 from you.

It's life or death.

Emma.

Hey, what's going on? Is everything okay?

No, I'm fine.

It's my dad. He owes the mob money.

Well, why should I help out your dad?

You just said that you didn't need my money.

It's a loan, okay? I'll pay you back.

Well, does it look like I need money?

Okay, so what do you want instead?

I want you to be my wife.

The deal that we discussed.

You continue to act like we're married until my mother names me her successor.

Fine.

Deal.

Emma, money just hit my account. Yes!

My son-in-law is the man!

I didn't expect you to send the money that fast.

Well, you're still my wife. Of course I would.

Of course I would.

Elijah.

Seriously.

Thank you.

Elijah! Honey!

Pick up the phone!

Elijah! Honey!

Pick up the phone!

All this talk about me being his wife while his mistress is literally there

meant never change.

Elijah.

Elijah.

Thank you so much for giving me the lead in the biggest...

Stop that, Stella.

Look, I gotta go.

Wait, can't you stay for dinner?

Look, I was only here to drop off the coat that we left at the studio.

What do you think you're doing?

Isn't it obvious?

Stella, stop with the games.

I'm married.

What part of I want a divorce don't you understand?

Wait, can't you just have a snack before you go?

Hang on.

I spent all day baking you this.

Just have one bite.

I'm allergic to strawberries.

I'm sorry.

It's just my imagination.

Sir, some tea for bedtime.

That doesn't taste right.

Mrs. Williams always personally prepared your tea before she left.

Yeah, well she knew my tastes well.

Because she loved you, sir.

Did she really love me?

Maybe she just loved my money.

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

Your call is...

Did she just reject my call?

The deal is to act like we're married in front of your mom.

Job description didn't include anything else.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Like talking to you.

This woman.

Elijah, I heard that recently you gave Emma's father more money.

Is that true?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Scum like that never learn their lesson.

And neither do you, it seems, as you keep getting taken advantage of.

It was an emergency.

Mother, it won't happen again. I promise.

You're promising that? How?

You don't even have a job.

Okay, enough, Mom.

Am I wrong?

What is this woman offering you, hmm?

Three years is plenty of time to give you a child.

Okay, well I'm not ready to be a father.

Well, then I suppose you're not ready to be the family's successor either.

But your brother is.

Oh my God.

He knows nothing about the workings of our business.

But he has given me two beautiful grandchildren.

Unlike you.

I tell you what.

I will give you four, three months to make me a grandbaby.

If not, your brother will get everything.

Okay, Mom, you can't be serious.

I am.

Okay, Mom, you can't be serious.

I am.

You've been awfully quiet, Emma.

Have any thoughts?

What are your thoughts?

Yeah, well, it's funny you ask.

Actually, Elijah and I are getting a…

We're, um…

We're working on it.

Yeah, we're planning on having a baby together.

Yep.

We just can't wait to have our own little bundle of love.

Love.

Well, that's wonderful.

You know, you two are awfully far apart.

Why don't you sit closer together?

No wonder it's taken you so long to make me a grandbaby.

Go on.

Go on.

Don't be shy.

Don't be shy.

Oh, honey.

You have got to try some of this.

They are…

Say, ah.

Ah.

Oh, I've got a little something right here.

You've pushed me too far.

What, you're not enjoying my performance?

No.

Performance.

What am I doing?

Why didn't I just tell his mom that we're divorcing?

Why am I hesitating?

Elijah, what are you doing?

We're supposed to be divorcing.

Oh, so now you remember.

What was all that earlier?

I was putting on a show for your mom.

She asked for it.

So when did you start listening to her?

I did it because you needed me to.

Oh, so you do care about me.

No, I care about holding my end of the deal.

This is all for the sake of our divorce.

Okay.

Well, your act earlier was excellent.

I'm a professional, remember?

Really?

Well, it seemed to me like you nearly got swept away by your own performance.

All part of the act.

Well, then let's call this part of the act too.

Okay.

What was that?

Just gauging your commitment to the performance.

You're full of it.

Hey, if anything, I'm helping you rehearse kiss scenes.

It's part of being an actress.

So you're looking forward to me kissing other men?

Don't forget your promise.

I'll finish dinner with your mom.

You sign the papers.

All right, Mom.

Love you, Mom.

And we're done.

All right, show's over.

Sign the divorce papers.

Nah.

What? What?

Come on, but you promised.

Do not tell me that you were following through

with your mother's request for us to have a grandchild

because I will not.

Okay, you're overreacting, all right?

The delay is to prevent suspicion.

When she gets back to New York, we can proceed.

You can stop with the excuses.

Admit it.

You don't want to divorce me.

How about you just wait a little while longer

and then get your divorce?

Until then, just keep up the act and do whatever you want.

Including seeing other men?

I'm warning you, don't even think about it.

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

I never get jealous.

Am I? No.

Come on, a scandal like that would force my mom's hand.

As long as we're together,

you're mine.

I'm going to be out of your hair soon.

I found this amazing apartment right by my mom's hospital.

And you can manage rent.

I have enough.

Plus, it'll be really nice to be close by, you know,

just in case anything happens.

I know you probably don't want to hear this,

but are you sure you want to leave Elijah?

I mean, he's got money, which your family needs.

No.

Elijah and I are done.

Besides, you know,

my mom is already starting to get better.

So, she'll be out of there in no time.

Dr. Abbott?

So,

she needs emergency surgery right away.

Of course, I had to agree to the surgery.

My mom will die without it.

But how will I pay for it?

Do I need to go to Elijah again?

She's

the one.

Hey.

You all right?

Let's go sit over here for a second.

No.

I'm fine. I just haven't been sleeping well.

Here.

Oh, you're freezing.

Thank you.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

I probably look like shit.

Oh, not at all.

I'm Joseph, by the way.

Emma.

Good news.

Dr. Abbott wanted to let you know

that your mom's surgery was a success.

Thank God.

Bad news

is that billing wants you to make a payment

towards the invoice since the total is substantial.

What?

I don't have that money.

For the bill.

No, I cannot let you pay for that.

We just met.

It's fine.

I have a feeling we're going to become fast friends.

So, you said that you just got back to the States

and you're visiting a friend here in the hospital?

Yeah, whereby luck, I met you.

Hey, sorry if this comes off a bit weird,

but I'm actually the executive producer

for an upcoming movie.

I've been searching high and low

for the perfect female lead,

and I think I finally found one.

You.

What?

You don't even know me.

Call it a sixth sense.

That's pretty incredible.

I'm an actress, actually.

I knew it!

Yeah, I've been auditioning for a bunch of projects,

so who knows?

Maybe we'll work together someday.

No, no, not someday.

I'm a thought-awful actress.

Oh.

Sounds like someone I know.

Will you please come audition?

I'll text you the deets.

Really?

Yeah, I would love to.

That would be incredible.

Great, yeah.

I just want to say thank you, again, for everything.

I don't know when exactly I can pay you back,

but I promise it'll be soon.

That's unnecessary.

You just said that we're friends.

I never owe friends money.

All right.

You win.

Well, I gotta go, but...

I'm really glad I met you.

I'll see you at the audition.

See you then.

Steve, what's up, man?

Hey, dude.

Come to the Sunset Bar.

There's someone here you should meet.

All right, yeah.

I'll be over in five.

Hey, Joseph, my man.

This is Elijah.

Joseph, my man.

This is Elijah.

Probably the richest guy in town.

Not so coincidentally, the chief investor of our film.

This is Joseph, one of the best producers in the industry.

A pleasure.

Well, I've heard nothing but good things about you.

Looking forward to your work on this film.

Speaking of, I just met someone.

An actress.

I heard Elijah's pretty adamant on Stella Hill.

I should ease this in.

She'll be the perfect addition to our cast.

Who is she?

She's new, so you probably won't recognize her name.

You'll definitely like her, though.

Okay.

Okay, bring her by the production meeting tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing.

Joseph!

Emma!

Hi, great to see you again.

Good to see you just in time.

There's someone I want to introduce you to.

He's our investor.

Of course, it's you.

So you're the perfect addition.

You two know each other?

You want to do the honors?

This is my wife.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Even better.

Means you won't have any second thoughts

about casting your wife in the lead role.

Yeah, I want to know something.

How do you know my wife again?

And why are you vouching for her?

Elijah, stop.

No, I practically own this production,

so that gives me the right to know everything.

In that case, you can consider me gone.

Are you insane?

You gave up the lead role

in front of the executive producer?

Okay, well, Elijah is the chief investor.

That means he can stop by the set

anytime he wants to.

Plus, that means it's the movie

that Stella's doing,

so she's already got the lead part.

Between the two of them,

I'm going to avoid that production like the plague.

It's really too bad

I don't get to work with Joseph, though.

He's really sweet.

Is he hot?

I mean,

I guess he's not bad looking.

Then go get him!

He's a divorcee anyway.

I like him, but not like that.

I can't imagine that, actually.

Maybe because you're still in love with Elijah.

What, are you insane?

Then what's going on with that necklace?

Oh, you know,

the one that you're wearing

but desperately trying to hide.

It was Elijah's wedding gift to me.

Yeah, you're right.

It's time I get rid of it.

Mm-hmm.

Buddy, listen,

we gotta go with Stella.

Elijah requested we put her in the lead role.

You know what happens if we don't.

Yeah, the director's the only one who can't stand her.

Her awful personality is one thing,

but she can't act.

She doesn't even compare to Emma.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, my wife deserves the best.

God, I was so naive then.

You were right, Elijah.

Turns out it was nothing but a sham.

That rude Joseph Cooper!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Wait until I tell Elijah.

Sir, the guys have spotted this.

Isn't that the necklace you bought for your wife?

Wait, why would she do that?

She always wears it.

Maybe she really needed the money for something.

Get out, Nate.

My phone.

Nate, out.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

She's not even going to try to haggle me down?

Better go for it before she changes her mind.

When and where do you want to meet?

Hi.

Do you want to sell it or not?

What is this, some kind of trick?

Look, I just need a necklace that goes with my new bracelet.

Elijah bought it for me.

He knows I've had my eye on that bracelet.

He got it for her?

Look, I don't give a shit what the bastard buys you, okay?

You can have him.

Deal is off.

You can go home empty-handed.

Don't be ridiculous.

I need the money.

The only way you're getting this necklace is if I shove it up your ass.

I'll just have Elijah buy me a new one.

It'll make yours look like a cheap knock-off.

Oh, and one last thing.

We're pregnant, by the way.

We're planning on telling this family soon.

We'll be sure to invite you to the wedding.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Why are men such trash?

Um, excuse me.

Can I get another one, please?

Lady, I think you've had too much to drink already.

Oh, my average.

Take my money and get me one more, please.

Decline!

No, no, no.

That cannot be right.

Here.

Is this enough?

No.

Look, do you have somebody you can call?

You're broke and dusty.

That's a bad combo at my bar.

How about this?

This should be enough, right?

Four more.

It's not yours to take.

Take it and go.

Oh, hello, handsome.

Where'd you come from?

How much to buy you for a night?

Name your price.

My husband is loaded.

I'm your husband.

How much do you have to drink?

Is this enough to buy you for one night?

Okay, we gotta get you out of here.

Come here.

Hey, buddy, put her down before I call the cops on you.

Go ahead.

She's my wife.

Thank you for the drink.

He was mad at you.

You're such a sweetheart.

I'm gonna tip you really well.

I love you.

I'm gonna tip you really well.

Emma, I know you're in the habit of ordering the services of callboys, Mrs. Williams.

But if your husband finds out, won't he be upset?

No, he hates me, so it doesn't matter.

Well, then why do you carry your wedding ring?

Helps me remember him.

Like what a fucking asshole he is.

Elijah loves Stella so much.

He can buy her the bracelet and whatever else she wants.

She can't have mine.

Look, I haven't bought Stella anything.

And there's only one woman that I've ever fallen in love with.

And there's only one woman that I've ever fallen in love with.

And that woman is you.

Not yet.

What did I...

You perv, you changed my clothes!

There's nothing that I haven't seen before.

Besides you.

Or the one who wanted to purchase my sexual services.

Fuck.

I can explain.

Drink.

Can you give me an explanation after you eat and shower?

Remember you had soup and toast on your occasional late nights out?

I can count the number of days that I was hungover on one hand.

Oh, uh...

Be sure to tip me well, okay?

Shut up!

You kept all my clothes.

You thought I wouldn't?

More like I thought Stella wouldn't.

Okay, why would she do anything with you?

Enough about her, okay? We need to get to the point.

When are you signing the divorce papers?

Is that really all you can think about?

Is that really all you can think about?

Your mom is already back in New York.

It's divorce time.

As stated in our deal.

Fine.

I'll sign them tomorrow.

Finally.

Emma, if you needed money, you could have just asked me.

I mean, I would give you way more than you'd get from a prenup or alimony for our divorce.

Hey.

Money.

It's always about money.

It's all I've ever wanted from this fucking marriage.

I'm a goddamn gold digger just like you said I am, right?

I'm a goddamn gold digger just like you said I am, right?

Wait, where did I...

May I?

No.

I don't normally wear...

10 a.m.

Tomorrow in my office.

I'll sign the papers.

Okay.

Where are you?

You said you would give me a divorce today.

Not anymore.

What?

Mom, what is your bullshit excuse this time?

Look, it's Grandma Doreen.

She had a heart attack.

Grandma Doreen?

Grandma Doreen?

She's the only person who treats me like a human being in this entire family.

Tell me she's okay.

She's recovering.

But the doctors say that she can't handle any other stress for some time.

Which includes news about our divorce.

Okay.

So, what now?

I plan to move her in with us.

I plan to move her in with us.

I plan to move her in with us.

What do you mean, move her in with us?

She needs people who care and love her around her right now.

Well, no one else in my family is stepping up.

And she can't know about our plans, so we're going to have to continue the act in the same house.

I moved out to escape you.

I am not moving back in.

You think that I'm happy about this situation?

All of this, all of it, is for Grandma Doreen.

I really missed your calling as a talent agent.

My schedule's completely booked because of you.

Alright, what do I get in return?

Name a price.

So it's about the money after all.

Oh, shit, that came out wrong, but...

Fifty thousand.

Yeah, that's it.

Sure.

Deal.

Deal.

I'm doing this for my mom's medical bills.

Nothing else.

Coffee smells good.

Thanks.

Would you mind pouring me a cup?

Why should I?

Well, the coffee you make is my favorite.

Sweeten the deal.

I'll make you a sandwich as a trade.

Fine.

I've never seen you cook before.

Well, we have a personal chef.

And I've never had a reason to before.

What about now?

Vegan?

That's really good.

You're not going to make one for yourself?

No, no, I'm not hungry.

Go ahead.

Hang on.

Can't wait to show up to the gala tonight on your arm?

There's a gala tonight.

And I'd like for you to come with me.

Tonight?

Sudden?

Yeah, I wasn't planning on going,

but certain individuals connected to my family will be there.

I mean, there will be talk if you're interested.

I'll be there.

I mean, there will be talk if I show up without my wife.

Fine.

I'll go.

I don't have anything to wear, though.

Yeah, let me take care of that.

Okay.

Okay.

It suits you perfectly.

They said it's the only one like it in stock.

It's meant for you.

I gotta take this.

God!

You again?

Take off the dress, bitch!

It's mine.

Excuse me?

Your dress?

Yes.

I reserved it weeks ago for tonight's gala.

You're going to the party tonight?

Good, with who?

Who do you think?

Elijah, obviously.

Why would he bring me here to buy this dress?

Because he's lying to you, honey.

Now take the dress off because I have to get it steam cleaned after you soiled it.

Consider it yours.

Stella?

Hi, Kitty.

Oh.

What, did you think this was funny?

Go to hell.

Give me this.

Emma, wait.

What is going on?

I'm not going to that goddamn gala with you.

Okay, there has to be some kind of misunderstanding.

Let go.

Your girlfriend's in there, so you better go help her try on that fucking dress.

What did Stella say to you?

Does it actually matter?

You always take her side anyways.

What do you want?

Where are you?

I'm busy, what do you want?

Did she tell you that I'm going to the gala with her?

I'm not, she's lying to you.

Right, just like she was lying all those other times.

All the times that she humiliated me.

So many times where you chose her over me.

Promise me.

Okay, I have my reasons.

Look, I've never told you this before, but Stella's brother...

They're not reasons, they're excuses, and I don't want to hear them.

We're planning on telling his family soon.

We'll be sure to invite you to the wedding.

Okay.

If you don't want to go to the gala, I'm not going to force you to.

Give me back the dress!

Ma'am, I already told you, this isn't your dress.

The dress you ordered is over there.

Well, I've seen all of your options and I've changed my mind.

Give me this dress!

Ma'am, the owner will be right back for it.

They already bought it.

Do you know who I am?

Apparently, some overrated actress with a diva complex.

Stella.

Elijah, thank goodness you came back.

This wench won't sell me the dress I want.

Clearly, she's lying and saying someone else bought it.

She's not.

I bought it.

Baby, you know my taste so well.

I didn't buy it for you.

Can you bag it for me?

I didn't buy it for you.

Can you bag it, please?

Me and my wife have places to be.

Of course, Mr. Williams.

Come on.

What a gorgeous beauty.

Everybody loves me.

She's radiant.

No, they're not talking about me.

They're talking about you.

Mr. Williams.

A pleasure.

Who is this delightful beauty?

This is my wife.

You sly dog, you've been holding out on us.

Well...

Can you blame me?

You got a good husband there, Mrs. Williams.

Just let me know if anything changes.

I'm afraid that we're in it for the long haul.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

Come on, Emma.

Where are you?

Yummy, yummy.

Have you seen Emma?

No.

Yummy, yummy.

Have you seen Emma?

I'm so sorry.

I just saw her with some guy

and I'm pretty sure she just left with him.

Him?

What the fuck was that?

I'm so sorry, Elijah.

I'm so sorry.

You good?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

No, no, I'm fine.

I'm sure you're probably wondering

what I was doing

crawling out of the bathroom window.

You don't have to tell me anything.

You don't want to.

Oh, oh, no.

Oh.

Let me help.

Thank you.

Yeah, of course.

After you.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Do you have an invitation?

I'm here with my husband.

I'm going to have to see

an invitation for you to get in.

Okay, I will try calling him.

Come on, Elijah, pick up.

Something wrong?

Yeah, I can't get back inside

without the invitation.

You can come in with me.

Invitation is for you and a close one.

Thank you.

Okay.

Oh, look.

Look, it's Joseph, our producer.

Why don't we go say hello?

So that's why you didn't answer my call?

And I see why you didn't answer any of mine.

Elijah, look how cute they are.

She's even wearing his jacket.

It's not even that cold in here.

Do you even hear yourself right now?

Elijah, Emma and I ran into each other outside.

Her dress was...

Don't even bother.

He won't take my side.

It's what you thought.

I was outside with Joseph.

You know, it was actually a really nice thing

to keep me company while you were in here

with the homewrecker.

Why don't you shut your rat face?

It's not a lie though, is it?

Is there a single person here

who doesn't know you're trying to steal my husband?

Hey!

Let's go, Mrs. Williams.

We haven't finished making our rounds together yet.

What an ass.

Let's go.

Why are you laughing?

I thought you'd be angry.

About what?

The thing I said about Joseph.

Oh yeah, I know.

You were just trying to make me jealous.

I wasn't.

Well, your irritation with Stella

and the My Husband digs were also a dead giveaway.

So what?

Are you going to be pissed

that I was rude to your girlfriend?

Why not?

Dress delivery.

Alright, let's get you changed.

How did you...

You didn't think I'd know about your torn dress?

Come on, I notice everything about you, Emma.

Here.

For what it's worth.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um, would you mind giving me a hand?

Yeah, of course.

Thanks.

You said you called me earlier.

What for?

I wanted you to save me.

Nothing important.

Why'd you call me?

I was worried about you.

Nothing important.

Good.

Fits.

Come on, they'll wonder where we are.

Let's go.

I've got a deal to uphold.

Let's go.

Elijah, I've been hearing you've been butting heads with your brother

for the control of the company.

I'm not concerned.

If my family wants to succeed, they'll choose me.

Your mother added an interesting condition, hasn't she?

Something to do with future heirs?

You've been married for what, three years now?

Time to get to it.

Move?

Yeah.

Oh, Emma.

It's been three years and you're still not able to get pregnant.

You know, if you have a bad doctor, I can refer you to mine.

Nothing is wrong with me. Stay in your lane.

Don't be so prickly.

It's not your fault that Elijah doesn't want to fuck you.

Emma!

Apologize to Stella. Now.

You're kidding me.

Did you call yourself her husband?

Back off.

Joseph actually has a point.

You need to get your head on straight, Elijah.

Ask yourself, who is your wife?

Whose side should you be taking?

It's not about choosing sides, Emma.

I don't want this to spiral more than it already has.

You should have shut this woman up forever ago.

Maybe if you didn't have such thin skin.

Stella!

Enough.

Look, if you feel uncomfortable here, I can drive you home.

Okay, you're crossing the line.

Elijah.

I deserve to be put first.

For once.

I'm exhausted. Let's go.

No!

You are first.

So don't go.

Okay.

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this.

I think this is the first time we've ever danced together.

Yeah, well, I knew that you weren't a fan.

No, I just...

I wanted you to teach me.

Well, then, tonight's the night.

It just reminds me of prom.

Except everybody was way richer and more pretentious.

Well, then, I guess that makes us the king and the queen of the prom.

No.

We're just a divorcing couple.

But I love you.

Divorcing couple.

Putting on a show.

Well, then, at least we can be the perfect couple before this song ends.

Revenge dance?

Yeah, no.

Oh, um, Nate?

This isn't the way to my apartment.

We're going home.

You mean your home?

It's our home.

Come on, you know what I mean.

Look, there's no reason for me to come and stay the night tonight.

Your grandma's not even gonna be here till tomorrow. I'll come back in the morning.

She could show up at any moment.

You really wanna risk it?

Fine.

Yeah.

Whatever.

Wait, we're sleeping in separate bedrooms, right?

You really gotta ask?

Absolutely not. I refuse.

Okay.

Well, I'll just leave my door unlocked in case you change your mind.

Well, I'll keep my door locked in case you get urgent.

Good night.

Good night.

I know you probably don't want to be cast with Stella,

but something tells me you'll change your mind once you see the part.

Let me know if I should expect you.

Okay.

What the hell? Get out!

It's not like I haven't seen your body before. We're married.

It's different now.

Wanna make you feel better if I got naked?

No.

Wanna make you feel better if I got naked?

No.

You're up early.

You going somewhere?

I got called in for a role.

I'm going there right after this.

And I haven't seen your cheeks this rosy since our wedding.

You sure you're not going on a date?

Nate?

Find out where Emma's going and who she's meeting.

So, you gonna tell me about this mystery role?

Read it.

Your role is Yvonne.

In the story, Sophie, the female lead, steals your fiancé.

You're gonna slap her several times.

And, uh...

The female lead is...

Stella.

You sure this is a real part?

Yep. It's part of the plot.

And if you're worried about Stella, don't be.

She's a professional.

Remember?

Right.

Middle name?

Yes, she really does.

Sorry, I gotta take this.

Move.

What? How are you here?

Because I got called in.

I'll be playing Yvonne, fiancé of James Knight.

What? No.

That role belongs to another actress.

I don't know the details.

I just know I have a job to do.

Like hell you are. There's no way in hell I'll let you do this.

Is there a problem here, Ms. Hill?

Oh, shit.

I'm already on thin ice with this asshole.

He'll jump at any chance to drop me.

No. Not at all.

Director's out.

Great. I'm so glad to hear it.

Yuck.

Can we start this rehearsal, please?

Action.

Um, I'm sorry, Yvonne, for everything that happened.

Shut up, Sophie.

You had every chance to stop it, and you didn't.

Please. I just fell in love with him.

Is falling in love with a guy illegal now?

That was supposed to be a fake slap!

I didn't yell cut. I didn't yell cut. I swear to God, I didn't yell cut.

Shut up. Keep going. Hit her again.

No!

If it's a girl, maybe we'll name her after you.

You should have known better than to steal my husband, bitch.

Cut! I love it! You're fantastic!

Yes!

You're fantastic! Yes!

Oh, no, don't. Don't.

Get off!

Oh, God.

God, I can't even watch. It's just so horrible.

God, that felt good.

I figured you'd be down.

I've never fought back before.

I've just let her walk all over me this entire time.

Have you told your husband about any of this?

He won't listen.

He'll take her aside.

Always.

I think you should do yourself a favor of just talking it out.

It's not the way he looked at you.

It's you he wants, not her.

It's you he wants, not her.

I don't know what to believe.

I don't know why I just get so emotional.

I don't know why I just get so mixed up when it comes to him.

Apologize to Stella. Now.

You're kidding me.

Love can be crazy like that.

Oh, my God. I knew you're a whore.

Wait until Elijah sees it. You're a dead bitch.

I must have left my phone on silent.

Hey, Mr. Williams. What's up?

I'm pulling all funding from your production immediately.

I'm pulling all funding from your production immediately.

Whoa, buddy. Back it up. What's going on?

I've received reports of unprofessional behavior on set.

That's news to me. You want to send them my way?

Elijah, I'm saying this as a friend to your wife.

Just talk to her.

Besides, if you pull funding and production dies,

it's not just Stella you'll be letting down.

Why didn't you answer any of my calls?

I was working.

With Joseph?

What, are you stalking me?

What, is he the reason that you want to divorce me?

Are you kidding me? I just met him a couple of days ago.

He got me a job, which I need to pay my bills and take care of myself.

Come on, Emma. You know that I'll always take care of you.

Yeah, except I'm not going to play this stupid husband and wife game with you forever.

It doesn't matter what we are.

Husband.

Wife.

Enemies.

Lovers.

Look, Emma, I will always take care of you.

Look, Emma, I will always take care of you.

No, I am not doing this with you.

You know, I doubt Joseph's motives are truly altruistic.

He has feelings for you.

I don't know. Maybe.

But it wouldn't even matter because I don't have feelings for him.

Emma,

Emma,

tell me to stay.

You're a liar.

About what?

You told me you didn't love me that night that I asked.

Okay, I didn't say anything.

And then you demanded a divorce.

I just want to be loved by my person.

For them to only want me.

Look, I am your person.

Look, I am your person.

I am your person.

Okay?

You don't get it.

You broke my trust.

It's too late to go back.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Your grandma will be here tomorrow.

We should rehearse for the real show.

I give it my all, Grandma.

I'll watch the shadow of your body hide

Let's hide under the sheets

Quietly to feel your breath

On my skin

When was the last time we fell asleep holding each other?

When was the last time we fell asleep holding each other?

I have to admit,

he's one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen.

Grandma Dorian's on the way.

She'll be here in an hour.

Time to start the show.

Mind giving me a hand?

Sure.

You're testing your husband's limits, Mrs. Williams.

You started it, Mr. Williams.

Emma, sweetheart!

I've missed you so much!

Grandma Doreen, I've missed you too.

It's been too long.

How was your play?

Too long for an old lady like me,

but worth it to see you too.

Gifts for Emma, of course.

All of that just for me?

No, Grandma, that's way too much.

Nothing's too much for my favorite granddaughter-in-law.

Come on, don't keep me waiting.

I want to know everything that's going on in your lives.

So now tell me,

why hasn't my grandson gotten you pregnant yet?

Is it something on his end?

You know there's a pill for that.

Grandma, please.

There's nothing wrong with either of us.

We're just, we're not ready.

I know this business inheritance nonsense

has been weighing you down,

but that's not why I'm here.

I'm your grandmother.

I want you both to have

a perfect, healthy family

before I hit the dirt.

Grandma...

I see the love between you two.

Emma, dear,

what happened to your ring?

Emma, dear,

what happened to your ring?

Oh, um,

you know, it had a few dings in it,

so I just had it sent in for repairs.

Elijah, silly boy,

just buy her a new one.

Not a bad idea.

The scratches are barely noticeable.

You do not need to get me a new one.

Emma, let him do it.

It's a husband's duty to make the wife happy.

Time to go shopping.

How much are these?

Oh, you have excellent taste, ma'am.

Those come from our exclusive collection.

They're $120,000 for the set.

I'm sorry, how much?

I'm sorry, how much?

We'll take them.

Fantastic choice, sir.

Additionally, we do offer

customized engravings on these rings.

May I know the lovely lady's name?

That's Emma.

We could carve Emma into your husband's ring.

Isn't that romantic?

Can we include all of this in the engraving?

Emma, my one and only love.

One and only?

What about Stella and her baby?

Of course, yes. You're a lucky woman.

Elijah, dear,

why don't you help Emma with the ring?

Looks wonderful on you.

Have you

ever loved me?

Even for a second.

It'll make a beautiful divorce present.

Why does she still want a divorce?

Don't take it off.

The ring isn't part of our deal,

so I can't accept it.

You're really still thinking about our deal?

How else am I supposed to think about?

I only moved in and put on this act

for our deal.

The end goal is divorce, right?

I thought you'd like it.

Did you really think that I would

throw myself at your feet

because you carved some stupid words

into some metal?

Well, those stupid words are

how I truly feel.

Just answer it.

She's in love with you.

What about you?

I'm just a gold digger who's looking forward

to her divorce settlement.

Where were you?

Where were you last night?

What do you want, Stella?

When are you going to divorce that witch?

Why are you making that your business?

Because I'm waiting for you to marry me.

I'll never marry you, Stella.

Don't you love me?

Stella, we've talked about this.

I've only ever seen and treated you

like a little sister.

But, but all the time

we've spent together

and everything you've done for me,

it has to mean something.

You promised me

that you'll take care of her.

The only family she's got.

I made a promise to your brother

to take care of you.

Fuck that promise

and fuck my dead brother.

If it wasn't for him,

you and I would be together

and you wouldn't view me

as a younger sister.

It never happened

because I'd still have Emma.

Yeah, well, fuck that bitch too.

She's nothing compared to me.

Fuck.

You're dead, Emma.

Hey, Emma.

I just wanted to apologize

for everything that happened

at the gala the other night.

Sure.

I also want to let you know

that Elijah told me himself

that he's sick and tired

of looking at your ugly ass face.

When are you going to get a clue

and finally fuck off?

Fuck you.

Ah!

Somebody help!

I was trying to kill my baby!

What?

Oh my God!

Elijah, help me!

No, Elijah, I didn't do anything.

I didn't touch her.

You liar!

Sorry.

Help me.

It looks perfect.

Once Elijah hears that I lost my baby,

he'll kick her out

of the show.

The next set will have my name on them.

Elijah!

What the hell

is going on?

It's my house, Stella.

Elijah.

It hurts everywhere.

You must be starving.

I'll make you something to eat.

No, I'm actually fine.

Don't worry.

I have a lot of experience

taking care of my mom,

so you're in good hands.

Ah!

Sorry we didn't get to talk earlier.

I had to get Stella somewhere quiet.

Do you hate me?

What? Why would I?

For hurting Stella and your baby.

Okay, I never slept with Stella.

I've only ever seen her as a friend.

Why would you assume

that I was her child's father?

I mean, she went on and on

about you and the pregnancy

this whole time.

That bitch set me up.

You really think that I would

sleep with someone else?

I don't know.

You seem to barely tolerate me

most of the time.

How about now?

One second.

Dr. Larson, are you free

for a house visit?

No, no, it's not for me.

It's for a friend.

Why did I find your ring

outside the house?

I don't know.

I just saw it.

Why did I find your ring

outside the house?

I don't know.

I left it on the bedside table.

Stella's in that room.

She must have found it.

That little bitch is here?

I've had it up to here

with you, young lady.

I've only put up with you

for the memory of your

dear sweet brother,

but I'm done.

Get out of my grandson's house.

But, Doreen, I'm the victim.

He hit me and then

I lost Elijah's baby.

My Elijah would never

cheat on Emma,

just like you'll never

marry my grandson.

Okay.

You know nothing,

you old, ugly hag.

And when I finally get Elijah,

I'm gonna convince him

to shove your ass

in the shittiest nursing home

I can find.

Will you now?

If you don't marry me,

I'm gonna tell the entire world

what a monster you are,

throwing out the girl

who had a miscarriage

of your baby.

Pretty bad optics.

We'll get another doctor

to confirm whether that's true.

Well, everything that my doctor

said is right here.

Where is it?

Mr. Williams,

this report you've given me

has been falsified.

Where did you get this?

Who the hell are you?

Dr. Larson's the medical director

at the leading hospital in the city.

If you'll allow him to examine you,

he can confirm whether you really miscarried.

Or if you were ever even pregnant

to begin with.

Okay, well...

Okay, well, fuck you,

and you, you will not touch me.

Got that?

And any shitty piece of crap doctor

that you bring in here

and any bullshit crap

that I feed my fans,

they'll eat right up.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

You get all that, Emma?

Yep.

And any bullshit crap

that I feed my fans,

they'll eat right up.

Elijah, you can't do this to me!

You love me!

You're a delusion.

No, you promised my dead brother

that you would take care of me

through anything,

that promise was off

the moment that you hurt them.

And I'm done with you, forever.

No!

No!

God damn it!

My grandma just texted

and she got back home safely.

She could have stayed longer.

Yeah, she wanted to give us lovebirds

some privacy.

We are at the end of our deal.

Shall we see it through?

Deal?

What deal?

I don't, uh,

I don't seem to remember

what deal we made.

Something about a divorce, you know?

Hmm.

I don't recall a single thing.

I love you, Emma.

I have for a long time,

longer than I even knew.

Then why?

I thought that you were only

in it for the money

and that one day you'd realize it

and you'd leave me for good.

So this whole time

you were just keeping

your distance from me

because you were preparing

for me to leave?

Yeah.

And then when you did,

something in me snapped

and I couldn't let you go

because I knew that

I couldn't live without you.

So please,

don't go.

I won't.

I'm here for good.

Whether you like it or not.

Prove it.

Prove it.
