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