00:00:00Jesus, what?
00:00:02You're late on your child support again, Daniel.
00:00:17Just another hopeless ex-wife looking for a handout, huh?
00:00:21Look at you.
00:00:22You insisted that I quit my career so that I could take care of our daughter.
00:00:25Now you're leaving us high and dry.
00:00:27Go make your own money, huh?
00:00:28I am!
00:00:29It's just not enough to pay for Cecilia's summer camp. We need your help.
00:00:32Well, well. Isn't this your loser ex?
00:00:36You call your food delivery gig making money? You're such a loser.
00:00:40You know, she brings nothing of value to her family. Unlike you, Barry.
00:00:44I don't bring value?
00:00:48You cheated on me with her and you broke our family, Damien.
00:00:51Anyone would believe you, Rachel. Just look at yourself.
00:00:55What did I tell you?
00:00:56Damien bought this rent from me yesterday.
00:00:59You like it?
00:01:01You'd rather waste your money on her than your own daughter, sweetie.
00:01:05It's a good lesson to learn. I just, uh, I'm getting used to it.
00:01:09You have a delivery.
00:01:12Why don't you go make money for your tramping little daughter?
00:01:15Bye!
00:01:17What?
00:01:18Did you just say, well, my daughter?
00:01:20Caroline!
00:01:47Mom, is everything okay?
00:01:51Yes, honey.
00:01:52Are you sure you don't want to go say hi to daddy?
00:01:57You know what? How about we go on an adventure together?
00:02:04I just got a food delivery order. Why don't you come with me?
00:02:08Let's go!
00:02:20Why don't you pray to running from me?
00:02:24Do you really want to be in love?
00:02:30Wait in the car for me, okay?
00:02:43Hey, Leslie.
00:02:44Austin, my darling, I just sent over a few potential candidate resumes.
00:02:48Candidates? For what?
00:02:50Your new personal assistant. Remember? You fired the last one.
00:02:55Last one fawned over me. She never got anything done.
00:02:57Because you're one of the biggest stars in town.
00:02:59Everyone adores you.
00:03:00That's the problem. Hold on a second.
00:03:08Austin?
00:03:13Austin?
00:03:14I've really got to get better security.
00:03:17Do you want an autograph?
00:03:18A picture is fine.
00:03:21Sure, okay.
00:03:27This food.
00:03:29I thought you wanted to take a selfie with me.
00:03:31Why would I want a selfie with you?
00:03:33Because I'm me.
00:03:36And you are?
00:03:41You really don't know who I am?
00:03:42Sir, it's great that you have all this free time in your massive mansion
00:03:46to mess with a delivery person.
00:03:48I have some food orders to get to.
00:03:50So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go.
00:03:54What?
00:03:58You miss that woman?
00:04:00No.
00:04:01Today.
00:04:03My dear boyfriend!
00:04:07Hello, my dear boyfriend!
00:04:09For the thousandth time, I'm not your boyfriend.
00:04:13Um, the contract says that we are boyfriend and girlfriend.
00:04:16Exactly, a contract to promote the movie that we were in.
00:04:23Oh shoot, I think I grabbed the wrong bag.
00:04:25Um, I'll be right back.
00:04:29Don't pretend like the chemistry isn't real.
00:04:34What we have is real.
00:04:38This is my girlfriend.
00:04:40What are you doing?
00:04:41Just play along, please.
00:04:45Yep, this is my boyfriend.
00:04:50I don't believe it.
00:04:52She seems more like a delivery girl.
00:04:58I knew it.
00:04:59You can't get rid of me that easily.
00:05:02God, I hate this girl.
00:05:03You better include a big tip for this.
00:05:12I'm deeply in love.
00:05:18You replaced me with a nobody?
00:05:20I think you should go.
00:05:22You're intruding on our quality time.
00:05:26This isn't over.
00:05:30That was close.
00:05:34That's for getting me in this mess.
00:05:36Do you know how many people would kill to kiss me?
00:05:39Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?
00:05:41Wait, you really don't know who I am?
00:05:52Leslie, did you order me food?
00:05:54Oh right, I forgot to tell you.
00:05:56My assistant's handling your stuff for now until we find you a new one.
00:05:58About that, I think I got a better idea.
00:06:01Silver Lake Agency invites you for a job interview, but I never applied to this.
00:06:16They're one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood.
00:06:20Mom, that's so cool.
00:06:21It's like a sign.
00:06:22But I've never worked in that industry.
00:06:24So what?
00:06:25You're super awesome.
00:06:26They'd be lucky to have you.
00:06:28I don't deserve you.
00:06:32Wish me luck.
00:06:44What brings you here, ma'am?
00:06:46I am here for an interview with Leslie Lee.
00:06:49Do you have any idea who she is?
00:06:52As the owner of this agency, Ms. Lee doesn't waste her time with, well, people like you.
00:06:58I'm telling the truth.
00:07:00Sure, and I'm the Queen of England.
00:07:03That'd be a stretch, wouldn't it?
00:07:05Morning, Leslie.
00:07:06Ms. Herman?
00:07:07I'm Leslie Lee.
00:07:09Hi.
00:07:09Follow me.
00:07:17You come highly recommended by one of our clients.
00:07:19I guess your resume must be very impressive.
00:07:21So let's take a look, shall we?
00:07:25All right.
00:07:31You haven't worked in years.
00:07:37You haven't worked in years.
00:07:40Um, I took time off to watch over my daughter.
00:07:44But I've been doing some part-time jobs while I'm applying for work.
00:07:48Okay, well, what do you do part-time?
00:07:51Food delivery, mostly.
00:07:54I don't think your experience aligns with what we're looking for.
00:07:57Oh, I understand.
00:08:01Thank you for your time.
00:08:03You're just gonna give up that easy?
00:08:05I thought you were feistier than that.
00:08:07You?
00:08:08Austin, my darling, we have tons of qualified people applying for the job.
00:08:12Some of them are even Ivy League graduates.
00:08:15We really don't need to hire an inexperienced housewife to be your assistant.
00:08:21So that's what this is, huh?
00:08:22Did you organize this whole thing to humiliate me?
00:08:27What?
00:08:27Yeah, sure.
00:08:29I'm a broke single mom.
00:08:31I didn't get a fancy degree or climb the corporate ladder,
00:08:35but I'm perfectly smart and capable.
00:08:39Do you realize how hard it is to be a single parent?
00:08:43To manage a household, handle finances, organize events.
00:08:48I supported my daughter and myself.
00:08:50I supported my daughter and myself through really hard times,
00:08:55and I think those experiences are good for any job, including a personal assistant.
00:09:01That's the feisty I'm talking about.
00:09:04It's indeed very impressive, but still-
00:09:06Leslie, did I mention there's another agency looking to bring me on board?
00:09:12Welcome aboard, Rachel.
00:09:13You're gonna make a great assistant for Austin,
00:09:16who will be staying with us for the foreseeable future, right?
00:09:19I will let them know that I love my dear Leslie too much to walk away.
00:09:24I'll be with Silver Lake Agency for a while.
00:09:33Thank you so much for this opportunity.
00:09:36I promise I won't let you down, but can I ask why you decided to help me?
00:09:43I wasn't helping you.
00:09:44I was helping myself.
00:09:46You don't know me, so you're less likely to develop a schoolgirl crush like everyone else.
00:09:54Oh, you weren't joking.
00:09:56Let's get to work.
00:09:58I need everything on this list.
00:10:03All of this?
00:10:05All of it.
00:10:16I think I changed my mind.
00:10:45I'd like a Chardonnay instead.
00:10:49Now?
00:10:51The store's on the other side of LA.
00:10:52It's gonna take two hours during rush hour.
00:10:55I can always let Leslie know that this job didn't seem so important to you.
00:11:01I'm on it.
00:11:07Hi, I'm just checking in that you're picking up Cecilia like we agreed.
00:11:13Anyway, call me back.
00:11:15Okay.
00:11:24As you requested.
00:11:32Pour me a glass.
00:11:46It's fucking red.
00:11:50Go get me a Chardonnay.
00:11:51Are you fucking kidding me?
00:11:53You want me to go to the store again?
00:11:56Not unless you want your first day to be your last.
00:12:05Give me strength.
00:12:07This is for Cecilia.
00:12:09Who are you talking to?
00:12:12Joe.
00:12:13As you wish.
00:12:20Hello?
00:12:22What?
00:12:23Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:12:25What's wrong?
00:12:26You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:12:28It's my daughter.
00:12:33Cece?
00:12:34Hi, Mom.
00:12:36Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
00:12:40How are you feeling?
00:12:41A bit dizzy.
00:12:43They had to put some stitches in.
00:12:45What happened?
00:12:46I was waiting for Dad, but he never showed up.
00:12:50Some kids started making fun of me, and then Ryan pushed me.
00:12:54I fell and hit my head.
00:12:56This is all my fault.
00:12:59Mom, it's okay.
00:13:00It doesn't even hurt that much.
00:13:03Can you get me some candy?
00:13:05I'll feel much better.
00:13:09Okay, sweeties.
00:13:11I'll go get you some.
00:13:20What the fuck is going on?
00:13:22You failed to pick up Cecilia today, and now she's in the hospital because of a bully.
00:13:25That's what's going on.
00:13:27Are you kidding me?
00:13:28Kids play around.
00:13:29What the fuck does this have to do with me?
00:13:31You don't deserve to be a father.
00:13:34Watch your fucking tone.
00:13:37A man who hits a woman is no man.
00:13:40What the fuck?
00:13:46What the fuck?
00:13:48Who do you think you are?
00:13:51You're that celebrity hotshot kid, Austin Cooper.
00:13:57So that's how you make your moves, huh?
00:13:59You gold-digging bitch.
00:14:01I was in Panda Strike 2.
00:14:05I will make your life a living hell.
00:14:07You think you're so tough, don't you?
00:14:12Screw both of you.
00:14:17Are you okay?
00:14:20I'm fine, thank you.
00:14:23What happened?
00:14:25My daughter got bullied.
00:14:27I should have just picked her up when my ex didn't answer the phone.
00:14:31I'm sorry.
00:14:33It's fine, it's not your phone.
00:14:35It kind of was.
00:14:37What do you mean?
00:14:40I don't care about the wine.
00:14:44So you were just torturing me?
00:14:46You called me a jackass after I got you the job, so I just...
00:14:49But then I thanked you.
00:14:51I know, but I...
00:14:53Austin Cooper?
00:14:54Cecilia, you need some rest.
00:14:56Mom, I'm fine.
00:14:57You didn't tell me you were working with Austin Cooper.
00:15:00You're on TV all the time.
00:15:01Can I get a selfie?
00:15:03Sure.
00:15:04Damn, why does everyone know him but I don't?
00:15:06Mom, can I borrow your phone?
00:15:08Uh, yeah, sweetie.
00:15:15Mom!
00:15:16Yeah?
00:15:17Come on, Mom.
00:15:18Okay.
00:15:25Cecilia, you were bullied?
00:15:28How about we go teach that bully a lesson?
00:15:37Thank you all for coming.
00:15:39We're here to discuss the incident involving Cecilia and Ryan.
00:15:43We don't see what the fuss is about.
00:15:47Your kid sent my daughter to the hospital.
00:15:50Kids fall down all the time.
00:15:52Maybe Cecilia shouldn't have been waiting alone.
00:15:56What are you getting at?
00:15:58If she had a proper father figure, she might have been better protected.
00:16:01Uh, let's just stay focused on the incident itself.
00:16:05Stay focused on the incident itself?
00:16:09Is that Austin Cooper?
00:16:13Yep, everybody loves him.
00:16:17As a friend of Rachel and Cecilia, I figured I'd help out.
00:16:21This is the security footage from that day.
00:16:27As you can see, Ryan clearly pushes Cecilia on purpose.
00:16:32Thank you, Mr. Cooper.
00:16:34The evidence is very clear.
00:16:38We'll address Ryan and his parents.
00:16:40There will be appropriate consequences.
00:16:42Thank you, Ms. Parker.
00:16:58My daddy and mommy will protect me, not like your parents.
00:17:03Is that me?
00:17:13Ryan, right?
00:17:19You think it's okay to push people around?
00:17:21I didn't mean to.
00:17:23I'm sure you didn't mean to.
00:17:25But does it change the fact that you hurt someone?
00:17:28It's not as much about the push as about how you made someone else feel.
00:17:32And you have to ask yourself, are you okay with making other people feel bad?
00:17:36Now, I'm not here to make your life miserable.
00:17:38I'm here to give you a chance to make things work.
00:17:42Start by apologizing to Cecilia.
00:17:46I'm really sorry, Cecilia.
00:17:53That's a good start.
00:17:54But remember, it's not just about saying, it's about showing that you mean it.
00:18:02Now, let's get you something sweet on a rough day.
00:18:33Thank you for all of that.
00:18:36It's the least I can do.
00:18:40Oh, um, by the way...
00:18:59Are you okay?
00:18:59I'm okay.
00:19:03This is your schedule for next week.
00:19:05I labeled and organized it for you.
00:19:08Of course.
00:19:15I'm gonna go.
00:19:16I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:18See ya.
00:19:23That was close.
00:19:29Okay, folks, today's meeting is about the promo strategies for Austin and Amanda's new movie.
00:19:41We need to discuss the relationship contract first.
00:19:44You know, the one about Austin and Amanda faking a romance to promote the film.
00:19:49I'm not doing that.
00:19:50The studio expects this of us.
00:19:53Our personal life is not for sale.
00:19:55Why can't you just admit that you like me?
00:19:58Why can't you just quit making things up in your head?
00:20:00We need a solution that respects Austin's wishes while still promoting the movie.
00:20:04Here are those documents that you need to love.
00:20:09You're the delivery girl who's claiming to be in a relationship with Austin.
00:20:13How dare you walk-
00:20:14Enough!
00:20:17How dare you walk-
00:20:18Enough!
00:20:20So, Austin's new assistant is really his lover as well?
00:20:25How convenient.
00:20:26Talk about sleeping your way up.
00:20:29If I don't stand up for Rachel now, it would affect her job.
00:20:32Rachel's not my girlfriend.
00:20:36We just said that to get you off my back.
00:20:38I knew it.
00:20:40Brad?
00:20:42You wanna say something?
00:20:43Austin is contractually obligated to date me.
00:20:46Right, right, I'm on it.
00:20:49The contract says if either of you doesn't follow the relationship clause,
00:20:55you'll lose a big chunk of your box office profits.
00:20:59I'm fully aware.
00:21:00Austin, regardless of your personal life, you're gonna have to do what the contract says.
00:21:04Actually, not really.
00:21:09There's a clause in here that could help us out.
00:21:11Like you know anything about contracts?
00:21:13I've read them enough to realize that sometimes there's room for interpretation.
00:21:17Let me see.
00:21:19Oh, right here.
00:21:21It states that Austin is required to engage in public activities
00:21:26to suggest romantic connection with Amanda.
00:21:30It doesn't state exact activities that he needs to do.
00:21:36I see it right here.
00:21:37Public activities.
00:21:40Not spending time together.
00:21:43Meaning, Austin can fulfill his obligations with social media posts and virtual interactions
00:21:50that suggest a connection.
00:21:52So, no need for actual dates or paparazzi posts.
00:21:59You didn't tell me about this.
00:22:01I must have missed that detail.
00:22:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought...
00:22:08This still isn't over.
00:22:10I am going to find a way to get us together, one way or another.
00:22:15Maybe we should take this elsewhere.
00:22:17Excuse us.
00:22:23I think you just saved me from a PR nightmare.
00:22:26Of course.
00:22:27Just trying to keep a professional-
00:22:29Oh.
00:22:37Seems like we have a really good team you guys.
00:22:39Yeah, I know, right?
00:22:41Hmm, seems like we have a really good team here.
00:22:44I'm curious, how did you know about the loophole?
00:22:48It takes a pair of eyes familiar with the law.
00:22:50I was in law school, but then I had to drop out to support my ex-husband.
00:22:56How is that woman getting so much attention from both Austin and Leslie?
00:22:59Tell me about it.
00:23:00She's lagging.
00:23:01Duffer.
00:23:02Holly, the receptionist, told me that Austin hired the job.
00:23:07Don't talk about sleeping your way up.
00:23:10Maybe she'd sleep with me.
00:23:14Maybe.
00:23:16Definitely.
00:23:27Hey, Rachel.
00:23:29Oh god, looks like you could use a break.
00:23:31How about grabbing a bite to eat or something?
00:23:35Thank you, but I have a lot on my plate right now,
00:23:38so maybe some other time?
00:23:40Come on, it's just a little bite to eat.
00:23:43Look, I know how hard it is to climb up in this agency.
00:23:48I could help you out, you know?
00:23:51I'm good right where I am.
00:23:53What, I'm not as good as Austin is to you?
00:23:55You think you're better than me yourself?
00:23:57I'm here to do my job, not play games.
00:23:59You don't want to be an assistant forever, do you?
00:24:02I could help you become an agent,
00:24:05have a little fun on the side.
00:24:07Get your hands off of me, pig.
00:24:10You are just a dirty whore playing like this.
00:24:21Hey.
00:24:22Oh, hi.
00:24:23I thought you were still in meetings.
00:24:25We finished early.
00:24:29You okay?
00:24:30I was just about to take your files to the casting director.
00:24:33Oh, excuse me.
00:24:38Okay.
00:24:50Hey, Austin.
00:24:51Oh, by the way, congratulations on the movie.
00:24:54Cut the crap.
00:24:56What is this about?
00:24:57You know exactly why I'm here.
00:24:59I know what you did to Rachel.
00:25:02Look, Austin, I was just joking around.
00:25:05No harm done.
00:25:06I mean, she's just a whore.
00:25:08That's...
00:25:14Oh, goddammit.
00:25:16Get out of this place.
00:25:18I'll sue you!
00:25:19If you even think about retaliating against Rachel or me,
00:25:23I'll make sure you're blacklisted in Hollywood.
00:25:26Yeah, you would.
00:25:28You'll never make a comeback, okay?
00:25:30I get it.
00:25:31I get it.
00:25:35Just wanted you to know that we've taken care of the situation.
00:25:39Austin told me everything.
00:25:41That kind of behavior will not be tolerated here at Silver Lake.
00:25:45What?
00:25:46Look.
00:25:51Rachel?
00:25:52Rachele?
00:25:54Who told him?
00:25:55I'll see you later.
00:25:56I thought you did.
00:25:57You wanna be an agent?
00:25:58No.
00:26:01Excuse me.
00:26:05Hi.
00:26:11Rachel, what are you doing here?
00:26:36What happened to keeping things professional?
00:26:40Just stop talking.
00:27:06I have a confession.
00:27:08I think I fell in love with you the first time I saw you.
00:27:13Even after I slapped you?
00:27:17Takes a lot to surprise me nowadays.
00:27:20I can't just keep bringing surprises.
00:27:23So do you.
00:27:26I'm sorry.
00:27:27I'm sorry.
00:27:29I'm sorry.
00:27:30I'm sorry.
00:27:30I'm sorry.
00:27:31I'm sorry.
00:27:31I'm sorry.
00:27:32I'm sorry.
00:27:32I'm sorry.
00:27:33I'm sorry.
00:27:33I'm sorry.
00:27:34I'm sorry.
00:27:34I'm sorry.
00:27:35So do you.
00:27:37I'm not on set for the next couple days.
00:27:40How about I take you and Cecilia shopping?
00:27:43I'd like that.
00:27:54Ooh, look at this dress.
00:27:57Maybe they have a matching one for us.
00:28:00That's pretty.
00:28:02Excuse me.
00:28:03Can I help you with something?
00:28:05No, thank you.
00:28:06We were just looking around.
00:28:08Yeah, not everyone can afford to shop here,
00:28:10but maybe you'd be more comfortable somewhere else?
00:28:14Um.
00:28:16Come on, let's go, Cece.
00:28:17We don't want to be in a place that's managed by rude people.
00:28:22Oh my gosh, Mr. Cooper, welcome.
00:28:25How can I assist you?
00:28:27Did you guys see anything that you liked?
00:28:28Let's just go somewhere else.
00:28:30Also, you should have seen the dresses that they have.
00:28:32They're so pretty.
00:28:33But mommy said we can't shop at a store that's managed by rude people.
00:28:37Actually, I think we should do the opposite.
00:28:40Let's show these rude people what they're missing.
00:28:45Mr. Cooper, I did not know you'd be here today.
00:28:47I would be honored to serve you.
00:28:50Oh, you won't be helping me.
00:28:51You'll be serving these two lovely ladies here.
00:28:54Of course, I'm Ms.
00:28:56Herman.
00:28:57Ms. Herman.
00:28:59Let me walk you through our latest collection.
00:29:01Um, I think they'll fit you very well.
00:29:05What about these shoes?
00:29:07I love these ones.
00:29:10And they happen to be my size.
00:29:14Could you please help Ms. Herman try these shoes on?
00:29:17Yeah, sure.
00:29:20It'd be awful if word got out about the lousy service.
00:29:25Of course.
00:29:31I can't believe I'm wearing these.
00:29:33It's the loveliest thing ever.
00:29:35And it's the most expensive thing I've ever worn.
00:29:37It's true.
00:29:37I feel like I'm keeping the box.
00:29:39I can't believe this.
00:29:41I'm really proud of it.
00:29:43It's perfect.
00:29:45I would just...
00:29:47I would just...
00:29:49I wouldn't want to put it on.
00:30:01Can you compare Austin as your girlfriend?
00:30:02Austin just got out of a relationship with Hannah Scott.
00:30:03He's focused on his career right now.
00:30:04Well, what about the pics?
00:30:05They're all over social media.
00:30:06Yeah, we spoke to the sales assistant, and she said that the woman in the picture is
00:30:07married and has a kid.
00:30:08Is he sleeping with a married woman?
00:30:09Baseless rumors.
00:30:10Okay, Austin is a professional.
00:30:11He respects everyone involved.
00:30:12He's simply enjoying his single life.
00:30:13Hey, Austin.
00:30:14Hey.
00:30:15Hey.
00:30:16Hey.
00:30:17Hey.
00:30:18Hey.
00:30:19Hey.
00:30:20Hey.
00:30:21Hey.
00:30:22Hey.
00:30:23Hey.
00:30:24Hey.
00:30:25Hey.
00:30:26Hey.
00:30:27Hey.
00:30:28Hey.
00:30:29Hey.
00:30:30Hey.
00:30:31Hey.
00:30:32Hey.
00:30:33They're looking for me?
00:30:43Explain this.
00:30:48I'm so sorry about this photo.
00:30:53This was a private moment.
00:30:57I didn't think anyone was going to take a photo of us.
00:30:58I thought you two were just having a professional relationship.
00:30:59We are, but things are a little different.
00:31:06Do you really care about Austin?
00:31:08Yes, of course.
00:31:10Then you should know that this could hurt his career.
00:31:12He's one of Hollywood's biggest stars right now.
00:31:15He can't be seen in public with a single mom.
00:31:18It's not the image that we worked so hard to cultivate for him.
00:31:24I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again.
00:31:27Thank you, Rachel.
00:31:29I know it isn't easy, but it's for the best.
00:31:48Hey, babe.
00:31:49Hi. I didn't know you were home.
00:31:54Got off work early?
00:31:56Why didn't you tell me you were going to be here?
00:31:59I was just dropping off some costumes.
00:32:03Is everything okay?
00:32:07Yeah, everything's fine. I just...
00:32:10I have a lot on my plate right now.
00:32:16Did I do something wrong?
00:32:18You seem... different.
00:32:22You didn't do anything. I think I just need some space.
00:32:27I've been tiring you out. Do you want to take a few days off?
00:32:31I... I've been thinking...
00:32:37We should just keep this professional.
00:32:43What do you mean?
00:32:45I thought... I thought we had something more.
00:32:49I need to focus on my job.
00:32:52And make sure I can provide for Cecilia.
00:32:55She's my priority.
00:32:56I can easily provide for the both of you.
00:32:59I don't need your charity. I can make my own money.
00:33:02You think it's for charity?
00:33:04That it wasn't real?
00:33:06Real or not, we just... we don't work.
00:33:13Who knows how long it would last, so...
00:33:17Let's just end this before it gets too busy.
00:33:21So that's...
00:33:23We're just going to act like nothing happened between the two of us?
00:33:28For the best.
00:33:30If that's what you want.
00:33:46I love you.
00:33:54Come on, you're awesome, Cooper. You could have any girl.
00:33:57Why are you hung up on some single mom?
00:33:59It's not just about her being a single mom.
00:34:03She's different than all the other girls that we know.
00:34:06How?
00:34:07She's smart, resilient, and a great mom.
00:34:11She's been through hell and back.
00:34:13She's still standing strong.
00:34:15I admire that.
00:34:17So it's not just about the chemistry?
00:34:19I mean, the chemistry is great, too.
00:34:21But she's the only person that hasn't been affected by my fame.
00:34:28It sounds like she's really gotten under your skin.
00:34:32She has.
00:34:35Well, why are you just moping around here?
00:34:38You should go find her and show her your signs.
00:34:42You're right.
00:34:46I can't just give up on her.
00:35:06Great.
00:35:09Need a hand with that?
00:35:12Sure, yeah. Thank you, that'd be great.
00:35:15I've seen you around, but I guess we've never officially met.
00:35:19I'm Nate. I just moved into the house across the street.
00:35:23Nice to meet you, Nate. I'm Rachel.
00:35:25I'm sorry you had to meet me in such a clumsy moment.
00:35:29Don't worry about it. Everyone has those days.
00:35:32Yeah, tell me about it.
00:35:35Oh, don't worry about it. I'll take that.
00:35:52Thank you so much for this.
00:35:55I didn't realize how much I overdid it until I got home.
00:35:59Happy to help.
00:36:01Where does this go?
00:36:03Oh, don't worry about that. Just put it on the counter.
00:36:05I've been meaning to properly introduce myself for a while.
00:36:10Maybe we could get coffee sometime. I'd love to get to know you better.
00:36:15Um, things are a bit complicated for me right now.
00:36:22Um, I don't think it's the best time.
00:36:27No worries at all. The effort's there if you ever change your mind.
00:36:32Thank you so much for understanding, and thank you for your help.
00:36:37Of course, Rachel. It was my pleasure.
00:36:47I'll see you later, Nate.
00:36:49You too, Rachel. See you around.
00:36:56Bye.
00:37:27Austin! Austin! Over here! Over here!
00:37:30Can you comment on the dating rumor that's been circulating?
00:37:33I'm single and living my best life. Dating's overrated anyway.
00:37:37But what about the rumors linking you to a mystery woman?
00:37:41They're just rumors. I'm just focusing on my career and hanging out with friends. And that's that.
00:37:48Can you hold this, please?
00:37:52Of course.
00:37:57Amanda! Over here! Amanda!
00:38:06Can you comment on the dating rumor?
00:38:09Rachel! Didn't you just get dumped?
00:38:14What do you want from me?
00:38:16Didn't you just get dumped?
00:38:19What do you want from me?
00:38:27What are you doing?
00:38:30Someone help! This woman's attacking me!
00:38:34Anything. She's just making stuff up.
00:38:36What's going on here?
00:38:37She followed me in here, and she's harassing me, and she's not supposed to be here!
00:38:42What? I'm Austin Cooper's assistant. I had a badge, but she threw it away.
00:38:47We're going to have to escort you out.
00:38:49But I'm not lying. This is Austin's blazer.
00:38:52Yeah, right. And I'm George Clooney. Come on, let's go.
00:38:55Hold on! She's with me. She's not a stalker, and she definitely doesn't need any escorting.
00:39:00But Ms. Scott said...
00:39:02I don't care what Ms. Scott said. Rachel's with me, and I can vouch for her.
00:39:06Austin! She's getting...
00:39:08Enough, Amanda!
00:39:10I know what you're doing. It's not going to work.
00:39:15I'm sorry, Mr. Cooper.
00:39:17Our apologies.
00:39:23Austin.
00:39:29Rachel. Pull yourself together. You can't have a relationship with Austin.
00:39:39Let's just work, right?
00:39:52I can't let that woman win.
00:39:57Ron, remember that woman who used to follow Austin around?
00:40:02I need to get in contact with her.
00:40:05Sarah, right?
00:40:07Oh my god! Oh my god, Amanda Scott! I can't believe you're real!
00:40:14You love Austin, right?
00:40:19How do you know he's with you? I'm so glad. You're such a goddess. I love you both.
00:40:23Of course I'm a goddess. But that's not the point.
00:40:26I'm just saying.
00:40:28The point is that Austin and I have broken up.
00:40:33Another woman came between us.
00:40:35That delivery girl? Isn't that just a rumor?
00:40:38No. It's true. Her name is Rachel Herman.
00:40:44Rachel Herman?
00:40:46Sarah, if I can't be with Austin, I can't be with you.
00:40:53Rachel Herman?
00:40:55Sarah, if I can't be with Austin, the next person he's with should be you.
00:41:02Not her. Don't you agree?
00:41:05Sarah, don't give up on Austin.
00:41:10I think you should go after him.
00:41:13You're right. I love him. I can't let anyone else have him. Except you.
00:41:19That's my girl.
00:41:21I won't let you down.
00:41:23Perfect.
00:41:34Rachel, what's up? You look like you have something on your mind.
00:41:41I've been thinking, Leslie.
00:41:45I want to resign.
00:41:47Resign? You're doing such a fantastic job.
00:41:52It's just too difficult working around Austin all the time, pretending everything's fine, and it's not.
00:41:58I get it. But you know, you've proved yourself to be incredibly capable.
00:42:03Have you considered moving up the ladder?
00:42:07What do you mean?
00:42:10I want to offer you a chance to become a junior talent agent.
00:42:13You won't be Austin's assistant anymore. You'll be working with your own clients.
00:42:18And I know you have the potential, Rachel. I know you can do it.
00:42:22Really?
00:42:24Absolutely. I'll assign some new clients to you.
00:42:27Actually, I have already been networking and keeping my eye out, so I know of a few up-and-coming talents.
00:42:39That's fantastic. I can't wait to meet them.
00:42:44Thank you, Leslie. I won't let you down.
00:42:48What about Austin? How do you want to handle that?
00:42:53I'll tell him in person.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:12Hey.
00:43:15What's that?
00:43:17Um, these are all your personal items that were left at my place.
00:43:26I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
00:43:31Um, these are all your personal items that were left at my place.
00:43:39I figured I should tell you in person. Um, Leslie offered me a position as junior agent.
00:43:49So I'll be working with my own clients, and I won't be your assistant anymore.
00:43:56So I'll be working with my own clients, and I won't be your assistant anymore.
00:44:03I figured I should just drop your stuff off.
00:44:07Congrats. Working on your career, just like you always wanted.
00:44:14Just like you're doing.
00:44:17Congrats on snatching another nomination.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:32Bye, Austin.
00:44:57Hi, Rachel.
00:45:09Rachel?
00:45:11Rachel?
00:45:25Rachel, are you here?
00:45:33Rachel, what are you doing here?
00:45:37Sarah, what are you doing here?
00:45:41We talked about this. I have a restraining order against you. You shouldn't be in my house.
00:45:47But Austin, it's been two years already. I'm your biggest fan.
00:45:51I watch every movie, every interview. I just know we're meant to be together.
00:45:55No, it's good to see you again. But you shouldn't be here.
00:46:00But you don't understand. We belong together. You don't belong to this woman.
00:46:04I appreciate your support, but you have crossed a line.
00:46:09Let's get you home safe. But first, you need to let Rachel go.
00:46:13No. She stole it from me.
00:46:17Please, Sarah. I have a daughter. You don't deserve him. None of you do.
00:46:22Sarah, put the gun down. We can talk about this. No one needs to get hurt.
00:46:26You won't leave him alone. I will make sure you do.
00:46:30Say you love me, Austin, or she will die.
00:46:34I love you, Sarah. I love you, too.
00:46:39Put the gun down. This isn't you.
00:46:45That's right. No. Please, Sarah. I have a daughter.
00:46:48Sarah, no one needs to get hurt today.
00:46:53Oh my god, Austin. No, I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:46:58Austin, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
00:47:06I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
00:47:12Oh my god, Austin. Are you okay? I'm fine.
00:47:15He's lucky it's just a scratch. The bullet barely grazed his arm.
00:47:19Thank goodness.
00:47:22I'm more worried about Rachel.
00:47:25It's all my fault.
00:47:27What are you talking about?
00:47:29I convinced Rachel to put some distance between you two.
00:47:32I thought it would be better if you weren't involved with a single mom.
00:47:35I didn't realize it would lead to something like this.
00:47:37You did what?
00:47:39I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I realize that now.
00:47:43I just hope it's not too late to fix things.
00:47:47Leslie, I appreciate everything you've done for my career.
00:47:51But Rachel is important to me. You had no right to interfere in my personal life.
00:47:56I didn't want anything to jeopardize your career.
00:48:00If you need help smoothing things over, I'm here.
00:48:04I should fix things.
00:48:06I'm sorry.
00:48:17Can I talk?
00:48:25Leslie told me about everything. I'm so stupid.
00:48:29I should have never let something like that come between us.
00:48:33I was just trying to do what I thought was best for him.
00:48:36Having you in my life is what's best for me.
00:48:41I care about you, Austin. I always have.
00:48:46What about that guy I saw in your house?
00:48:49Nate?
00:48:51He was just a neighbor that was helping me.
00:48:54He did ask me out, though.
00:48:56What?
00:48:57Don't worry. I turned him down.
00:49:00Let's give this a real shot. No more pretending.
00:49:06I'd love that.
00:49:08Austin, are you dating Rachel Herman?
00:49:11Let's do this.
00:49:13Is she your girlfriend, Austin?
00:49:16Yes. Rachel is my girlfriend.
00:49:21What about your career risk?
00:49:23These words are all the risks.
00:49:25And Austin's not just a celebrity to me.
00:49:29He makes me truly happy.
00:49:36Look at her, acting all fucking high and mighty with that Hollywood hotshot, Austin Cooper.
00:49:43You know, Damien, this could work in our favor.
00:49:47Yeah, how do you figure that?
00:49:49Rachel hit the jackpot. She's with a rich Hollywood star now.
00:49:53If we play our cards right, we could squeeze some money out of her.
00:49:59You know, you might be onto something.
00:50:01She owes us anyway, especially after what that Austin Cooper did to me last time.
00:50:05Humiliated me.
00:50:07Exactly.
00:50:09Let's show her she can't just leave us behind and expect to live her fairytale life.
00:50:14Let's make her pay.
00:50:30I'll get it, Mom.
00:50:35Dad?
00:50:36Cece. Long time no see.
00:50:39Hello, little girl.
00:50:44Damien, what are you doing here?
00:50:46We were just in the neighborhood. I thought I'd stop by, see how you two are doing.
00:50:49Catch the chase.
00:50:51Why are you really here?
00:50:53Well, now that you're mingling with Hollywood's elite, I figured you could help your dear ex-husband out.
00:50:58Help you? You mean you want money?
00:51:02I mean, come on, Rachel. You owe me after everything I've done for you.
00:51:05You've done nothing for us, Dad. Mom's always been the one that's been there.
00:51:10Cece, Dad's been busy. You know that.
00:51:13Busy making excuses. They're never around when we need you.
00:51:17You heard her, Damien. We don't need you.
00:51:21This is far from over, Rachel.
00:51:23You'll regret this.
00:51:28Bye-bye.
00:51:39You did amazing, Cece. I learned from the best.
00:51:52She thinks she can just dismiss us like that?
00:51:55You know, she obviously forgot who she's dealing with, but she'll remember soon enough.
00:52:01What if we sell some juicy stories about Rachel?
00:52:04Tabloids will eat up anything about Austin Cooper's girlfriend.
00:52:08What are you saying? Make some serious cash and slander her reputation at the same time?
00:52:13Exactly. You're her ex-husband. Surely you can make up some shit and people would still believe you.
00:52:21Let's call the tabloids.
00:52:26Hey, Leslie. What's up?
00:52:28Austin, we have a situation.
00:52:30What kind of situation?
00:52:32I just got a call from a contact at one of the tabloids. Damien is trying to sell fake dirt on Rachel.
00:52:39What a bastard. What did he say?
00:52:41Luckily, they turned him down. They knew it was bogus.
00:52:44Just thought you should know that this could get messy if someone takes the bait.
00:52:48What a piece of shit. He's just messing with Rachel because she stood him up.
00:52:52I know, but you need to be careful. He's playing dirty and he's not going to stop.
00:52:57Thanks, Leslie. I'll make sure he regrets messing with her.
00:53:03You don't know who you've messed with, Damien.
00:53:09Ben, you said you've hired a private investigator before.
00:53:15Got the report you wanted? You won't believe what that guy's been up to.
00:53:19Let's hear what you got.
00:53:21Damien's a real piece of work. He's been involved in all kinds of shady stuff. Embezzlement, corruption.
00:53:25He's even been seen sleeping with business associates for business contacts.
00:53:30I knew this guy was a scumbag, but this is next level.
00:53:33It's pretty damning. If it gets out, he's ruined.
00:53:36I can't believe Rachel ever had to deal with this guy.
00:53:39You think you'll use it against him?
00:53:45Did you hear back from any of the tabloids yet?
00:53:47No, not yet. Those idiots didn't take the bait, but I'll find someone who will.
00:53:53Keep trying. We'll get what we're after eventually.
00:53:56Always do, babe.
00:53:59Oh my God. Austin, I'm a huge fan.
00:54:07Ben, Sean, I love your new role in that Atla TV series.
00:54:11You are amazing.
00:54:14I love it.
00:54:15All right, I'm going to go.
00:54:16I'm going to go.
00:54:17Bye.
00:54:18Bye.
00:54:19Bye.
00:54:20Bye.
00:54:21Bye.
00:54:22Bye.
00:54:23Bye.
00:54:24Bye.
00:54:25Bye.
00:54:26I love your new role in that Atla TV series.
00:54:28You are amazing.
00:54:31What are you doing here, Cooper?
00:54:33We found out about your little scheme to sell fake stories about Rachel.
00:54:37So?
00:54:38There's absolutely nothing that you or your friend can do about it.
00:54:46Take a look inside.
00:54:48It's quite the collection of your extracurricular activities.
00:54:57I don't want to hurt Rachel by airing out your dirty laundry.
00:55:01But if you try to mess with her or me again, I'll have no choice.
00:55:07What are these?
00:55:09Just Damien sleeping with some business associates.
00:55:12You've been cheating on me?
00:55:14Come on, he cheated on his ex-wife with you.
00:55:16You think she's going to stop there?
00:55:18You filthy bastard!
00:55:21Are you serious, Caroline?
00:55:26You filthy bastard!
00:55:28Are you serious, Caroline?
00:55:31I told you, a man who hits a woman is no man.
00:55:43Well, aren't you guys the knights in shining armor?
00:55:46How about we ditch this loser and go have some fun?
00:55:50Sorry, I'm not really into homewreckers.
00:55:53Fine, I don't need you either.
00:55:55Get out, Damien. I'm done with you and your lies.
00:56:00Come on, Caroline.
00:56:01I said get out!
00:56:11You're all going to pay for this.
00:56:25Excuse me, can I get a dirty martini, please?
00:56:32Well, if it isn't the man of the hour.
00:56:36I heard you're desperate, homeless, and a complete wreck.
00:56:42Amanda Scott, what are you doing here?
00:56:44Did you just come to kick me while I'm down?
00:56:47Actually, you have something I want.
00:56:55And what would a Hollywood A-lister like you possibly want from a guy like me?
00:57:01Unless maybe you want to go back to your place and, uh...
00:57:04Ew, you wish!
00:57:09I will pay you handsomely to abduct Rachel and hurt her.
00:57:17I will pay you handsomely to abduct Rachel and hurt her.
00:57:22You can even demand a ransom from Austin and get twice the money.
00:57:26Then you can go anywhere in the world with that kind of cash.
00:57:31So you're telling me I don't have to pay alimony to that bitch anymore?
00:57:35Exactly. Two birds with stone.
00:57:39I'm in. But you better hold up your end of the bargain.
00:57:42Don't worry, Damien. Just don't screw it up.
00:57:45Cecilia's in summer camp. Rachel's home alone.
00:57:50I know what to do.
00:57:53What are you getting out of this, anyway?
00:57:57Austin, of course.
00:58:22You're welcome.
00:58:38Did you miss me?
00:58:39Damien, what are you doing here?
00:58:41You've forgiven me what I wanted.
00:58:43Get the fuck out of my house.
00:58:53Help.
00:58:55Help! Somebody help me!
00:58:59Thank God you're finally awake. I was starting to get bored.
00:59:04Damien, let me go.
00:59:09Do you really still think you have the upper hand?
00:59:12I think it's time we make a phone call.
00:59:14Rachel?
00:59:15Oh, this isn't Rachel, but I have her.
00:59:21Rachel?
00:59:22Oh, this isn't Rachel, but I have her.
00:59:25And you're going to pay me exactly what I'm looking for if you ever want to see her again.
00:59:30Let her go.
00:59:31Austin, don't listen to him!
00:59:33I'm not listening to him!
00:59:35I'm not listening to him!
00:59:37I'm not listening to him!
00:59:39I'm not listening to him!
00:59:41I'm not listening to him!
00:59:43Austin, don't listen to him! Please call the police!
00:59:45Shut up!
00:59:48Damien, if you touch her again, you will regret it.
00:59:53Oh, Austin. You're going to give me exactly what I'm asking for if you ever want to see her again.
01:00:01You have 30 minutes. Make a decision.
01:00:04Ben, what do you got?
01:00:06The private investigator came through. We've got the location.
01:00:09It's that old warehouse on the outskirts of town.
01:00:11I'm on my way.
01:00:19It's all set.
01:00:20The cops will be here soon. We've got to move fast.
01:00:22Let's do it.
01:00:25Austin!
01:00:26Austin!
01:00:27Austin!
01:00:28Austin!
01:00:29Austin!
01:00:30Austin!
01:00:31Austin!
01:00:32Austin!
01:00:33Rachel.
01:00:34How'd you find us?
01:00:38You're done, Damien. That's it.
01:00:58Rachel.
01:01:03Austin.
01:01:18She's probably dehydrated. We need to take a look at her.
01:01:21She needs to get to the hospital.
01:01:26I'm so sorry, Rachel. I should have protected you better.
01:01:31This is all my fault.
01:01:33Austin, don't blame yourself. You saved me. That's all that matters.
01:01:40I promise I will protect you for the rest of my life.
01:01:44You and Cecilia.
01:01:46I know you will.
01:01:51I love you.
01:01:53I love you too.
01:01:57Thank you for being here with us.
01:02:01Mom!
01:02:02Hi, honey.
01:02:04I was so worried.
01:02:05Oh, don't worry. There's nothing to be worried about. Everything's okay.
01:02:10Is Dad a bad guy?
01:02:15Is Dad a bad guy?
01:02:19No.
01:02:21Dad's not a bad guy.
01:02:22Sometimes people can make bad decisions when they're lost and unsure of what to do with their lives.
01:02:32Cecilia, let's go get some ice cream. Your mom could use some rest.
01:02:37Yes, please.
01:02:39Bye.
01:02:52I love you.
01:02:54I love you too.
