Whose car is that? Ava, what are you doing? Who is he? Ava, what are you doing with this man?

Tom, will you calm down? You're overreacting.

Who are you?

I'm Jack Sterling. Sir, I just gave her a ride. You don't have to shout at her.

Who do you think you are? You don't tell me what to do. Ava, you'd better get inside right now.

Tom, be respectful. Stop shouting. Stop acting like a kid. You're making a scene.

You'd better have a good explanation for this. Are you coming or not?

I need to say goodbye to Mr. Sterling.

You embarrassed me. Unbelievable.

Jack, I'm so sorry. He took it out of proportion.

Who is he?

He's my fiance.

You didn't mention that.

Well, I'm mentioning it now. Thanks for the ride. It was nice meeting you. Take care.

Explain yourself, Ava.

Explain myself? Watch how you talk to me, Tom.

I had been waiting for you all night. You didn't reply to any of my texts. You've never come home this late before. Then you showed up with another man.

You don't even know what happened.

Enlighten me.

He's Andrew Sterling's son. I denied him entry to the event. He could have gotten me fired, but he didn't. Then I tried to call an Uber, but my internet wasn't working. He happened to be passing by and offered me a ride.

That was all that happened?

Yes.

You left the event and came home, right?

That's right.

You didn't stop anywhere else, did you?

Of course not. Why are you talking like this? Why are you insinuating things?

I checked your location, Ava. You stopped at a burger place for 45 minutes. You said your internet wasn't working, but it was. Now you've lied about what you did.

We stopped to grab a quick bite.

Didn't you think to check your phone? See if your internet was working? See if I sent you any texts?

I lost track of time. That's all.

I see. I don't even know who you are.

Do you know what I was doing, Tom?

Please tell me.

I was trying to make friends. Friends with influence and power. People that can help us.

Help us with what?

Help us with a better job. Perhaps a business opportunity. You said your job is on the line. Your boss is pressuring you. Maybe Jack can help us. The possibilities are endless. We just need to know the right people. Make strong connections.

So, in order to do that, you have to lie to me, right?

I didn't tell you because I knew you would overreact. I knew you would blow things out of proportion. We can get rich, too. We can have beautiful things. We can become one of them. I don't want to struggle anymore. Every month we work hard, but there's no money left. This life isn't for me. I was doing this for us.

For us? Do you know what? You were doing this for yourself. You want this other life. You know that's true. Your silence tells me everything. The wedding is off. I'm leaving you. I'll pack my things.

Jack (Monologue): That was a bit weird. Ava didn't do anything wrong. She didn't even ask for my number. We were just talking. He shouldn't have shouted at her.

I'll get the rest of my things later.

You don't have to do this, Tom.

I think you want me to. It's okay. Get ready to sell the house. We'll pay off the bank loan and we'll split the rest. I'll get 80% of it.

Why 80%?

I've been paying the mortgage more than you. We're not married. We're not splitting 50/50. I'll get my fair share.

You're taking advantage of the situation. I'll only get 20%. I should get half.

I won't give you a dime. You'd better not fight it. I'll be in touch.

Tom (Monologue): I won't accept this. Who does she think she is? Nobody treats me like this. I'll take what is mine. She can be on her own now.

Jack (Monologue): I feel bad for Ava. She didn't deserve all of this. Somehow I feel like this is my fault. Maybe I should have worn a suit and tie. I need to do something about it.

Come in. Jack, I'm so happy you're home, and thanks for coming to see us at the party.

I'm happy to be here, Dad.

I heard what happened. The hostess didn't want to let you in. You kept her job. You're a great man. I'm so proud of you.
