Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Welcome back and he has showbiz now. Good morning and welcome to Daily News. I'm your host
00:00:05Amanda. Our story today is about Ben Cooper, a rising actor and recent Oscar
00:00:11nominee who made a ripple in the acting industry after his performance in his
00:00:14recent movie Maximizer. His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2
00:00:19million to over a hundred million just over the span of two days, which is quite
00:00:24an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:00:54To be the lead. You will be the biggest star ever. Fasten your seatbelt Ben, it's time to fly.
00:01:10Everything just feels so unreal. That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:17What's with the phone?
00:01:20No. I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time. This is best not to respond at all.
00:01:30Now I know what my old managers were doing before all this. Tricks of the trade.
00:01:35But don't you worry. Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:41You are a superstar.
00:01:46Let a moment of peace. Hello?
00:01:58Send me that right now.
00:02:00What is it now? You're scaring me.
00:02:10I think we're in trouble.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:30Please pick up, please pick up.
00:02:32Hi! Hi! Um, sorry, I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:40Yes, my name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:47There are no slots left.
00:02:50Um, I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:57No, no, this isn't fair. You need to reconsider me.
00:03:01Hello?
00:03:06You've got to be kidding me.
00:03:09I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:20I'm tired of telling you I failed, Mum.
00:03:23Well, I mean, I guess she's right, I don't give up too soon.
00:03:31I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:03:34You've got this, Blake.
00:03:39Hi, um, I want an appointment with Manager Alan.
00:03:44Yeah, I knew you would refuse. Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:53Screw you. I don't need your approval anyway.
00:03:57I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:02People just need gossip.
00:04:08Hello?
00:04:11This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:16I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his rumours.
00:04:21He's not in a relationship. Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:26No, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:04:29People are saying that he's...
00:04:33That he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:38I've got an important call. I'll call you back.
00:04:41Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:47What?
00:04:50What story? Send her in.
00:04:56Hey, what story? Who are you?
00:05:00Well, uh, there's not really a story as such. I...
00:05:06It's as important as that.
00:05:11Okay. Since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:16I just wanted to come here in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:22Okay.
00:05:24You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:26That's what people say when they don't get a job either.
00:05:28Okay, not getting a job is different. You guys are...
00:05:31You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:33Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:05:41Are you going to go or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:45Okay, look, um, I'm sorry, I just... I really need a job right now.
00:05:52This isn't a request to answer. Please.
00:05:57Okay. Well, you know what? I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:04Sorry.
00:06:05Are you blind? Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:08Sorry.
00:06:09Are you blind? Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:15Who was that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:19Right.
00:06:25We need to focus on the people who do recognise you.
00:06:28Ben, I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:31I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:06:35It's how they make them know.
00:06:37Is it harmful for my image? Is it...
00:06:43You can date who you want to, but there's rumours.
00:06:46Like, it ruins your identity.
00:06:49Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:51Obviously not.
00:06:53And I've been contacted by Thomas' manager.
00:06:55He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:06:57Just release a statement.
00:06:58He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:00Just release a statement.
00:07:02I've been telling the reporters these rumours aren't true,
00:07:04but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:11What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:15Like what?
00:07:16Like...
00:07:19What if I were to date a girl?
00:07:23That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:24Well, it would kill the buzz.
00:07:26I don't know. It'd put us on the right path
00:07:29to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:07:35My question is how.
00:07:39I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:57Everything sucks.
00:08:01You know what?
00:08:02I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:05Nope.
00:08:06Staying here for eternity.
00:08:10It's settled.
00:08:17I mean...
00:08:20I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:23But no one wants to go.
00:08:27I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:52I don't know.
00:09:02I think...
00:09:07I have to go back.
00:09:13Because it's time to go home.
00:09:23Nope.
00:09:25Nope.
00:09:34Nope.
00:09:36Nope.
00:09:38Absolutely not.
00:09:39Not answering on the phone is scandalous.
00:09:53What is it, Mum?
00:09:57Um...
00:09:58Hey.
00:10:00Yeah?
00:10:03Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:05I hope you remember me.
00:10:07You just came to visit me a while ago.
00:10:10Um...
00:10:11Yeah, yeah, hi!
00:10:13Hello.
00:10:14Hi.
00:10:16Um...
00:10:17Can we meet?
00:10:19I have a job for you.
00:10:23Okay.
00:10:34I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:39Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:40Your idea.
00:10:42It's absurd.
00:10:43I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:44Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:46Well, everybody lies.
00:10:48People believe anything.
00:10:49Well, try this.
00:10:50So you can't blame me for not saving you later.
00:10:53Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:10:56She won't go crazy.
00:10:57I got a different vibe from her.
00:10:59You sure?
00:11:01I'm sure.
00:11:05Send her in.
00:11:08I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:11:11Come in.
00:11:15Please, take a seat.
00:11:17Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:19Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:20I didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:23I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:27So...
00:11:29I got a job for you.
00:11:31Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:33Oh, sorry, it's not so much of a job.
00:11:37More of a favour.
00:11:38This is all, um...
00:11:42So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:45So you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:11:48Yeah.
00:11:49It's as simple as that.
00:11:51Okay, but...
00:11:53Who's Ben?
00:11:57How do you know who Ben is?
00:11:59I don't know.
00:12:00I'm not sure.
00:12:02I don't know.
00:12:04I don't know.
00:12:05I don't know.
00:12:06I don't know.
00:12:07How do you not know Ben?
00:12:08Like...
00:12:10You haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:12:16I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:19You know, whatever happens in Trove is I don't know about.
00:12:21Yeah, but still, like...
00:12:23Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:25Me, apparently.
00:12:29I am Ben.
00:12:32Will you do me this favour?
00:12:38No.
00:12:52That was...
00:12:55That was Ben.
00:12:56The...
00:12:58The Ben Cooper.
00:13:03I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:05I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:07Oh my god!
00:13:08Oh my god!
00:13:10Oh my god, I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:13:14What the...
00:13:19I...
00:13:21I can't do it.
00:13:25I...
00:13:27I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:36I guess I've got to keep packing then.
00:13:46It's all done!
00:13:47I...
00:13:48I...
00:13:49I...
00:13:50I...
00:13:51I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:53I...
00:13:54I...
00:13:55I...
00:13:56I...
00:13:57I...
00:13:58I...
00:13:59I...
00:14:00I...
00:14:01I...
00:14:03Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:15Ew!
00:14:17Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:27Hey.
00:14:31You need to relax.
00:14:35I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:14:37I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:40And on top of that, you're asking me to relax?
00:14:42Are you crazy or what?
00:14:44I told you an excellent plan.
00:14:46Now it's your part to play, just make it work.
00:14:49Yeah, fine, it was an amazing plan.
00:14:52Fine.
00:14:53It was a really good plan.
00:14:55But why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:14:58Why can't I find you another one?
00:15:00A better one, one that's a better actor.
00:15:02No, it has to be this girl.
00:15:04I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:07Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:11I agree.
00:15:12So convince her.
00:15:15Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:15:17And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:23Well, for starters, she's different.
00:15:25Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:28If we want to do this, right?
00:15:31It plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:34It makes it more believable.
00:15:45Yeah, I'm sorry, Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:49Alright, I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:15:53Yeah.
00:15:55Alright.
00:16:00Ben's stubbornness girl is the next level.
00:16:06Please pick up, Blake.
00:16:15We need a plan B.
00:16:20Who is it?
00:16:22It's me, Blake.
00:16:25Please come in.
00:16:31Take a seat.
00:16:33I hope we're aligning here.
00:16:34Oh, of course.
00:16:39I need me back.
00:16:41I need a job, Alan.
00:16:43Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in your workplace.
00:16:45No, no. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:50Look.
00:16:52Look, I'll do anything, okay?
00:16:55But I can't do this.
00:16:57What will I tell my parents?
00:16:59That I'm someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:01That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:17:04Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:06It's not a job, it's more of a favor.
00:17:10Okay, fine. Then I can't do it then.
00:17:13Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:18I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:21But I can't. I'm really sorry.
00:17:25Blake, please. Come on.
00:17:33Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:17:35You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her and you just let her go?
00:17:38Blake, she didn't give me the chance. She just walked right out.
00:17:41And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:43Like, I've never seen you this way before unless you really respect someone.
00:17:50Oh my God.
00:17:52Oh my God.
00:17:54Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:56No, no. I haven't. It's nothing like that.
00:17:58It's not.
00:18:00Then what? What is it with her?
00:18:02I just think that we need to disprove the rumors as soon as possible.
00:18:04So what? I should just call her right away?
00:18:06Yeah, call her.
00:18:08Ben.
00:18:09Look, Alan. I gave you a job. You failed.
00:18:12Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:14Look, you've got to be kidding me.
00:18:16I've got a family dinner now. Text me her number. Okay?
00:18:20Now.
00:18:36Hello?
00:18:59Hello?
00:19:03Look, I'm busy so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:05It's Ben.
00:19:08Ben Cooper?
00:19:11Look, if you're busy, then that's okay. I can call tomorrow.
00:19:14No.
00:19:17I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:20Sorry, I didn't recognize your voice.
00:19:22That's okay. We haven't talked before, so how would you recognize my voice?
00:19:26Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:19:30You still don't know who I am?
00:19:32Well, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:34Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:36Um, I'm busy tomorrow. Sorry.
00:19:44I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:46If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I could meet you at yours?
00:19:50No. No, I'll come.
00:19:55Great. I'll text you the address.
00:19:58See you tomorrow.
00:20:03Why don't you have a seat? Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:05Thanks.
00:20:06Would you like a coffee?
00:20:07Uh, yeah. Thank you.
00:20:12It's a strange studio.
00:20:18Here you are.
00:20:27You don't have anyone to look after the studio?
00:20:30You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:20:33Well, it's my home.
00:20:35I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:38Your home?
00:20:40This is...
00:20:42This is your home.
00:20:43Is that a problem?
00:20:44No!
00:20:45No, I just, um...
00:20:47I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:50It's kind of...
00:20:52intimate.
00:20:53Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:20:57Um, so...
00:20:59What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:01I wanted to ask...
00:21:03Why are you running away from me?
00:21:05I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:07Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:10Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:15You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:17I know.
00:21:18Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:22What if...
00:21:26I offered you a different role?
00:21:29As my secretary.
00:21:32That way you could have a...
00:21:34respectable prefix added to your name
00:21:36and you could still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:39Um...
00:21:41Okay, well it's still not a job.
00:21:44I want a long-term job.
00:21:46You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:49I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:51How much do you need?
00:21:52Is it about money?
00:21:54No, it's not about money.
00:22:00What if I offered to hire you full-time?
00:22:03Full-time secretary.
00:22:05Permanently.
00:22:07I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:22:11Why me?
00:22:14Because I just like you.
00:22:16I mean, for this role,
00:22:18I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:20Okay, but there are so many other
00:22:22people that you could pick from.
00:22:25There's something different about you.
00:22:28Look, I've offered you the role
00:22:31with a part to play along.
00:22:33Are you in?
00:22:40I'm in.
00:22:52Ria.
00:22:54What are you doing?
00:22:56Don't treat me like this.
00:22:58I'm not trying to treat my ex.
00:23:00You're in my work.
00:23:01Can you just get over this already?
00:23:03We're not in a relationship anymore, okay?
00:23:05Just leave.
00:23:07I'm annoyed.
00:23:10You don't need to pretend.
00:23:13You can say it to me time and time again,
00:23:15this is no different.
00:23:17I'm here for you.
00:23:19Just get off, okay?
00:23:21You need to get out.
00:23:28This is the contract.
00:23:31This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:35We will renew it, of course,
00:23:36so you don't have to worry.
00:23:39Excuse me.
00:23:49I'm sorry.
00:23:52You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:55Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:23:57No, no, not at all. I just...
00:24:00I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:04Okay.
00:24:06Why do you even need a secretary
00:24:08when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:10Well, I mean,
00:24:12Alan looks after the whole agency,
00:24:14so it's a lot of work for him,
00:24:16and if we can bring someone on board
00:24:18to split off the workload,
00:24:19that'd be helpful.
00:24:22Look, it's my decision, okay?
00:24:24And, Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:26No, I never said that.
00:24:29All right.
00:24:31Well, how about you sign the contract
00:24:32so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:49Welcome.
00:24:51You're hired.
00:24:53Thanks.
00:24:55I'll try my best for you.
00:24:58Thanks.
00:25:04Relax.
00:25:06You look tense.
00:25:09Um, I could have bought my own food and drinks.
00:25:12You don't have to.
00:25:13Don't be silly.
00:25:14I was buying things for myself,
00:25:15so I'm more than happy to buy you something.
00:25:19Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:22Wrong idea about what?
00:25:24Well, it could easily be seen
00:25:26as that I'm just using my money to get to you.
00:25:29I just want you to know it's not like that.
00:25:31I know.
00:25:36I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:40Seriously?
00:25:41Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry
00:25:43because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:45It was tough,
00:25:47and all that happened before I met Al.
00:25:51And once I met him, he is such a generous man,
00:25:54and he looked after me like his own brother.
00:25:56And now you've met him, too, so...
00:25:58You don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:02I...
00:26:04I've put a lot of hard work,
00:26:05and I've struggled through a lot in my career
00:26:08to get to where I am,
00:26:09and I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that
00:26:13because they have something out for me.
00:26:15So that's where you come in.
00:26:19I promise that I'll try my best,
00:26:23even if it asks for sacrifices.
00:26:25No, it shouldn't require any sacrifices.
00:26:28Your dedication is enough.
00:26:35Oh, my God.
00:26:36I'm...
00:26:37I'm so sorry.
00:26:38I'm meeting someone.
00:26:39I've got to go.
00:26:40Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:42No, no, it's okay.
00:26:43It's not that far.
00:26:44I can just walk.
00:26:45Okay.
00:26:47Bye.
00:26:49See you.
00:26:52Bye.
00:27:02I really should stop reading these.
00:27:07Take a seat.
00:27:18Why did you call me?
00:27:20Straight to the point.
00:27:23Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:26I wanted to sue you.
00:27:27I would have done that a long time ago.
00:27:29I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:33We really should pay for all the wrong information
00:27:35your stupid article spreads.
00:27:39I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:44Look, I have a task for you.
00:27:47And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:49I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:52What kind of task?
00:27:57I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:00I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:03You just need to put Ben in the spotlight
00:28:04since you're a well-known reporter.
00:28:10What kind of articles?
00:28:12I'll tell you once you've signed the contract.
00:28:16And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:20If anything gets spread,
00:28:22I won't hesitate and I'll sue you right away.
00:28:27Alright.
00:28:30Consider it done.
00:28:33Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:37Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:50I'm sorry.
00:28:52Hey, it's alright.
00:28:54Come on.
00:28:56Hey.
00:28:59Sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:01Oh, that's fine.
00:29:03I should have informed you before coming over.
00:29:05Sorry.
00:29:06It's alright.
00:29:11So why are you standing there?
00:29:15What do you mean? I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:19You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:21Is that so?
00:29:22Yeah.
00:29:23Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:34Hello?
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:38I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:29:41Alright.
00:29:42Okay.
00:29:43Bye.
00:29:45Alright, Ben.
00:29:46We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:50Oh, wait.
00:29:52I've got an appointment.
00:29:53Appointment?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56It's alright, it's my own personal business.
00:29:58I'll take care of it some other time.
00:29:59No, that's alright.
00:30:00Blake can accompany me.
00:30:02Me.
00:30:05Alright.
00:30:07Alright, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:11So are you ready for the task?
00:30:14What task?
00:30:16Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:19Oh, yes.
00:30:21Sorry, forgot.
00:30:25So, what's the plan?
00:30:29It's your plan.
00:30:30You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:30:33Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:36I'll publicise it.
00:30:37You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:30:42I kind of thought you'd have like a whole script prepared for me.
00:30:45Too busy for that.
00:30:46Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:50Already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:52That'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:00Yes.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:02Alright, thank you so much.
00:31:04Bye.
00:31:07I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:10Oh, well, you know I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:13Sure.
00:31:17Question, by the way.
00:31:20Why don't you have a driver?
00:31:23I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:27Because I like to drive myself.
00:31:29Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:31:32No, you should.
00:31:38I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:31:44Yeah, well, I have you now.
00:31:46To drive me.
00:31:47You've got your licence, right?
00:31:51I've always loved cars.
00:31:53My dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:31:56Really?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Wow.
00:31:59Yeah, I used to help him repair old cars and, you know, he loved to have me by his side, helping out.
00:32:05Well, why did you stop?
00:32:06You could have opened a shop here.
00:32:13My dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:18Oh.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:22You know, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:26So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:32:30But then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:35Sorry.
00:32:42And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:32:45I'm so sorry.
00:32:47That's OK.
00:32:49Shall we head home?
00:32:53Yeah.
00:33:06Hey, Alan.
00:33:08Thanks for organising the suit.
00:33:10And thanks for organising Blake's dress too.
00:33:12She loves it.
00:33:13Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:14Alright, gotta go.
00:33:15See you.
00:33:18Alright, I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:19Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:21No, it's fine.
00:33:22No, it's a...
00:33:24Oh, I see.
00:33:26You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:30Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:35I didn't...
00:33:36I wasn't...
00:33:37saying...
00:33:41I was joking.
00:33:43OK, well, I'm going to get the suit now.
00:33:45No, you're not.
00:33:49I'm...
00:33:50I'm sorry.
00:33:51No.
00:33:52No, wait.
00:33:53Don't apologise.
00:33:57You know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:02I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:06I'm going to go grab the suit now.
00:34:17Good work.
00:34:22What is it?
00:34:25Your assistant is so rude.
00:34:28How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:31You better teach them some manners, or I'm going to make a complaint.
00:34:34Ria,
00:34:35your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:38Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:42Look,
00:34:43I'm here
00:34:47to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:50You know you can't replace me.
00:34:53Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:34:55Ria,
00:34:58you have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:01Now that your plans have failed,
00:35:02you cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again.
00:35:06What are you talking about?
00:35:07Breached my contract?
00:35:08I went on vacation.
00:35:10What?
00:35:11You didn't tell me anything.
00:35:12Or Ben.
00:35:13So I took it as your resignation.
00:35:16Okay, so
00:35:17take this
00:35:18and drop a new contract
00:35:20and let's get back into it.
00:35:21I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:23Ria,
00:35:25my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:27But we're...
00:35:32...
00:35:34...
00:35:36...
00:35:38...
00:35:40...
00:35:42...
00:35:44...
00:35:46...
00:35:48...
00:35:51...
00:35:53...
00:35:55Trusting me with a house key, huh?
00:35:58...
00:35:59I should let him know.
00:36:06Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:36:10I'll interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:36:30Hello?
00:36:32Ben?
00:36:36Ben?
00:36:59Okay.
00:37:01Buzz.
00:37:03What, you're not going to say hello?
00:37:07Hi.
00:37:08Um, sorry, I thought you would be busy so I just came.
00:37:12No, that's okay, you've got keys.
00:37:14Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:16Hungry?
00:37:17Um, no.
00:37:19Come on, let's have breakfast.
00:37:21No, I'm good.
00:37:22Let me show you my cooking skills, come on.
00:37:25Bye.
00:37:35Why does this make you so happy?
00:37:37Oh, because I suck at making coffee and you're really good at this.
00:37:42You want to learn?
00:37:44No, that would be really embarrassing.
00:37:46Please, let me teach you, then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again.
00:37:50Okay.
00:37:53Like that?
00:37:54Yeah, just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:37:57Okay.
00:37:59You suck at it because you're holding her.
00:38:01You can't all, just bring it back a little.
00:38:05Just.
00:38:07Hey, Alan, I know I'm late, sorry, what's up?
00:38:25What?
00:38:28Alright.
00:38:31What's up?
00:38:33Alan says there's an article about us.
00:38:36Come on, let's go.
00:38:52Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:38:54Yeah, me too.
00:38:55Exactly.
00:38:56We haven't even done anything yet.
00:38:58I still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:05But I was just helping her.
00:39:06Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:08What's your problem?
00:39:09Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:39:11Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:39:15Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned,
00:39:17but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:39:19You don't think it's too sudden?
00:39:21Too sudden?
00:39:23Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:27Oh, I'm sorry, Blake, I didn't mean that.
00:39:31No, no, it's the truth, right?
00:39:34But that's just a side task.
00:39:36You are my secretary.
00:39:38And it's what you approached me for.
00:39:41It's fine.
00:39:42Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:39:44See?
00:39:45There's no problem here.
00:39:47Okay.
00:39:49Well, let's move it forward.
00:39:50Alright.
00:39:51So, Ben, do you have a plan?
00:39:53Yes.
00:39:55Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:40:05Um, so that exclusive event we're going to tomorrow,
00:40:10um, are you taking me as your date?
00:40:14Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:17No, no, can't, can't do that, too embarrassing.
00:40:20That's what I told Alan.
00:40:23It's not that, I just, I'm ready to do whatever,
00:40:27I just feel like it might be too much.
00:40:31Eventually, we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:40:36So why drag that?
00:40:39I can see you're worried.
00:40:42It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:40:45I was scared, I didn't know how everyone was going to react,
00:40:49whether they liked what I'd done, whether they'd hate it,
00:40:53and I was alone.
00:40:55Your fear is justified, Blake, but you're not alone.
00:41:00We'll do this together.
00:41:05Alright, I'll go with you.
00:41:12I think what we've stopped
00:41:17is an opportunity here.
00:41:19For what?
00:41:22May I?
00:41:29Very unnatural.
00:41:39Are you going home now?
00:41:42Yeah, yeah, no, I will miss my bus, so I should rush.
00:41:46I have something that I need to show you.
00:41:48Would you mind coming with me?
00:41:50Um, Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:41:53It'll just be a minute, and I think I have a solution for that.
00:41:57Okay.
00:41:59This is for you.
00:42:01Oh, a key to your car now, too?
00:42:03The key to your car.
00:42:07What are you talking about?
00:42:09I bought you a car.
00:42:12Um, are you, are you serious?
00:42:15It's just for your work,
00:42:17so you can drive me places and get home alright.
00:42:22I don't mind taking the bus, Ben, it's fine.
00:42:25I know you're fine, but, I mean, you drive me home,
00:42:28and then you struggle to get home yourself, and...
00:42:31No, I think it'll help you.
00:42:33But, I...
00:42:35Please, take it.
00:42:37Okay? It'll make me happy.
00:42:39And you need to practice your driving skills, so...
00:42:42Um...
00:42:56Thank you, Ben.
00:43:03I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:15There is no way I kissed Ben Cooper today.
00:43:23Oh my god.
00:43:25No, no.
00:43:27Just my job.
00:43:29Just my job.
00:43:37Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:49Listen, we cannot comment on anything right now,
00:43:52but please try and stay away from the room.
00:43:55Yes.
00:43:57Just try and avoid the room, thank you very much.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:02Bye.
00:44:04Ben, what the hell?
00:44:06What do you mean?
00:44:08You told me to go ahead, and I did it.
00:44:10This is just the start.
00:44:12You freaking kissed Blake.
00:44:15I thought you were going to start small,
00:44:17by like, giving her a handshake, or just a hug.
00:44:22Is it working?
00:44:26That's the goal.
00:44:29What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:44:32Explain yourself!
00:44:34Explain what and why?
00:44:36Don't play dumb with me, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:44:39I don't think that I need to explain anything to you, okay?
00:44:42I thought we were minding our own business.
00:44:45You're so stuck in the past.
00:44:47Can you get over that already?
00:44:49You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:44:53Just when are you going to drop that?
00:44:56I thought we were exclusive.
00:44:58What happened to us?
00:45:01Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:45:04We're broken up.
00:45:07We're broken up.
00:45:09You've never actually broke up with me.
00:45:11Oh, jeez.
00:45:12You left me.
00:45:14Okay?
00:45:15You told me to mind my own business,
00:45:16you treated me like garbage,
00:45:17and you expect me to do what?
00:45:19You come in here and I forgive you.
00:45:20Okay, Ben, Ben, calm down.
00:45:22No, no.
00:45:24You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:45:29Ben.
00:45:30Alan, just please ask her to leave.
00:45:32Maria, please.
00:45:37Ah.
00:45:40So you're Blake.
00:45:43Hey, Blake.
00:45:45Let me drive you back to my place.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:57I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:46:00You know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:46:03Why is that?
00:46:05Because you don't pay attention to the road
00:46:08and you don't think when you're angry.
00:46:12I'm being serious.
00:46:14Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:46:17I like to drive to distract myself.
00:46:20I can't help it.
00:46:23Oh, okay.
00:46:25What do you do when you're angry?
00:46:29Um...
00:46:32I guess I just like to go somewhere alone
00:46:36and then let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:46:42I usually drive alone.
00:46:45Well, you don't have to anymore.
00:46:47You've got me now.
00:46:49Always?
00:46:55Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:46:57I am very busy, as you know.
00:47:00I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:47:03I can tell.
00:47:05Well, I can teach you.
00:47:08I'd like that.
00:47:22I overdid it, didn't I?
00:47:24No.
00:47:25You look perfect.
00:47:28I promise.
00:47:30You look beautiful.
00:47:33I can see you're nervous.
00:47:35Don't be.
00:47:37I'll be with you the entire time.
00:47:39I just... I don't want to faint, Ben.
00:47:41I really want to help you out.
00:47:43And if you really want to help me out, then just stop pretending.
00:47:46Okay? Be yourself.
00:47:48Let me worry about the rest.
00:47:51Look, the plan is
00:47:53to make everyone think that we're a real couple.
00:47:56There's another place by a lake that is famous for being...
00:47:59for celebrity couples being spotted there.
00:48:01So with any luck, after tonight,
00:48:03everyone will believe that we're a real couple.
00:48:06Well, let's just hope that's successful, then.
00:48:12Shall we complete the look?
00:48:14Please.
00:48:27Done. Let's go.
00:48:37Are you okay?
00:48:39I just, um...
00:48:41I forgot that so many people might be watching us.
00:48:44Just remember, we're making the headlines for tomorrow.
00:48:47Yeah, no, that's horrifying.
00:48:51You know, I thought it would, um...
00:48:53You know, I thought it would, um...
00:48:55It would just be, you know, fake laughing with you, but, um...
00:48:59It's actually kind of real.
00:49:02Well, I told you.
00:49:04I like you because you're real.
00:49:06All these other girls that I've met before...
00:49:09Like, they all know who I am.
00:49:11Like, before you, I hadn't met someone that didn't know me.
00:49:14Someone that wasn't already obsessed with me.
00:49:24Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:49:27Yeah, should we go?
00:49:29Let's go.
00:49:34You wait here, I'll go get the car.
00:49:36Yeah.
00:49:42Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:49:47You know he's just using you.
00:49:49Always does that.
00:49:53What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:49:55Ben is mine.
00:49:57I won't let you steal him from me.
00:49:59Really? Stop being delusional.
00:50:01He wants nothing to do with you.
00:50:11Don't you ever mess with me.
00:50:23Hey.
00:50:33Hey.
00:50:39Wait, what happened?
00:50:43Hang on, stay where you are, I'm coming, okay?
00:50:47Blake. Hey.
00:50:49Hey, Blake.
00:50:51What happened, are you okay?
00:50:55You said Maria did something?
00:50:57Yeah?
00:50:59Let's get you home.
00:51:06I'm so sorry.
00:51:08I'm so sorry.
00:51:11I don't want to talk about it, Ben.
00:51:13That's okay.
00:51:15I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:51:17I'm so sorry.
00:51:19Yeah, let's go home.
00:51:27Um, do you want your jacket back?
00:51:29No, no, you keep it.
00:51:33You can take the car, I can just take the bus.
00:51:35No, no, I'll take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:37You keep the car.
00:51:39Please, Blake.
00:51:43Hey, can we...
00:51:45Can we talk?
00:51:47Is your place alright?
00:51:49No, no, it's fine.
00:51:51I was silly.
00:51:53No, it's um...
00:51:55Come on in.
00:51:57Okay.
00:52:07Um...
00:52:09Sorry, it's so small.
00:52:11No, it's cozy.
00:52:13Listen, about today...
00:52:15I...
00:52:17I don't have the words.
00:52:19I feel ashamed.
00:52:21It's fine, Ben.
00:52:23No, it's not.
00:52:25Every job has its challenges, and this is just...
00:52:27Please, please, stop.
00:52:31Okay, this is something that can never be justified.
00:52:39I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:52:45You risk your reputation for me.
00:52:47I'm just your secretary.
00:52:49You're not just my assistant,
00:52:51or my colleague,
00:52:53or my secretary.
00:52:55You're more than that to me.
00:52:59What do you mean?
00:53:03I mean...
00:53:07I think...
00:53:11I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:53:15Since...
00:53:17Since when?
00:53:19To be honest, I don't know.
00:53:21I mean, when I...
00:53:23When I first met you,
00:53:25I wanted to get to know you better.
00:53:27And I spoke to Alan,
00:53:29and we had a role for you to play.
00:53:31But I want you to know that I've
00:53:33loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:53:39But after today,
00:53:41if you want to end the contract here,
00:53:43that's okay. I understand.
00:53:47Please, don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:53:51I just want it to be true to myself.
00:54:01Can I kiss you?
00:54:03Because I... I really want to.
00:54:13Yes?
00:54:23Yes?
00:54:27Send her in.
00:54:33What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of things.
00:54:35Well, everything was fine
00:54:37until Rhea calls to say...
00:54:39When will she leave us alone?
00:54:41What did she do exactly?
00:54:43Well, I was
00:54:45taking pictures of them, like you asked.
00:54:47And then Ben
00:54:49left Blake by herself, and Rhea
00:54:51showed up. And then she
00:54:53started this argument, and
00:54:55she slapped her.
00:54:57She's really
00:54:59crossed the line this time.
00:55:01Write an article about this. We need to cause this scandal
00:55:03so she leaves us alone.
00:55:05Look, I'm really sorry, but
00:55:07I'm only paid to write for Ben.
00:55:11Okay.
00:55:21You can consider it done.
00:55:27Who is this?
00:55:29She's a reporter.
00:55:31And what are you doing here?
00:55:33Look, I hired her.
00:55:35Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
00:55:37It wasn't important.
00:55:39The heck, Alan?
00:55:41You hired the reporter.
00:55:43You know what she's done.
00:55:45I know, I know.
00:55:47You wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:55:49Of course!
00:55:51She's on my blacklist because she's the reason
00:55:53that we have to do this in the first place.
00:55:55She wrote those articles.
00:55:57I know, I know. Please.
00:55:59Take a seat.
00:56:01She wrote those articles on you
00:56:03She wrote those articles on you
00:56:05in the first place, therefore she has the audience we need.
00:56:07Don't you see?
00:56:09She wrote one story
00:56:11about you and the old rumours died.
00:56:13This is because people trust her.
00:56:15One good deed does not
00:56:17make her a good person, okay?
00:56:19I don't trust her.
00:56:21I know, I know. I don't trust her either.
00:56:23But I've got a plan, okay?
00:56:25She is useful.
00:56:29Still,
00:56:31Ben,
00:56:33in my years of managing I've learnt one thing.
00:56:35Sometimes you need to
00:56:37take the risk.
00:56:39Whatever.
00:56:41I just don't want to get
00:56:43Blake involved in this.
00:56:45We can't drag her into this mess.
00:56:47It's so sad what happened to her last night.
00:56:51Wait, where is she?
00:56:53Why isn't she with you?
00:56:55Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:56:57We can't do this without her!
00:56:59What are we going to do?
00:57:01She's just taking a break today.
00:57:03Everything's fine.
00:57:05I do need to tell you something.
00:57:21It smells so good.
00:57:25What time did you wake up?
00:57:27I don't know.
00:57:29I can't stay away from you for long.
00:57:47Food's ready.
00:57:49No.
00:57:55Shall we eat later?
00:58:11Why did you call?
00:58:13Don't play dumb with me.
00:58:15Do you fear me?
00:58:17Fear you?
00:58:19I mean, why else?
00:58:21Why would you call this soon?
00:58:23Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:25Can you keep it down?
00:58:27Someone could hear us.
00:58:29It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben
00:58:31through me.
00:58:33How many times do I have to tell you?
00:58:35This is not about defaming Ben.
00:58:37I just wanted him to get back with me.
00:58:41But I do need your help.
00:58:43I have some intel
00:58:45on Blake that I think you're going to want to hear.
00:58:53Their relationship.
00:58:55The whole thing looks fake.
00:58:57They've got a contract.
00:58:59It's all for publicity.
00:59:01Expose her.
00:59:03Ria, this isn't enough.
00:59:05I know that.
00:59:11That should be enough.
00:59:15Now, do it.
00:59:17Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:21And if you do it,
00:59:23and it works,
00:59:25I'll agree to go on a date with you.
00:59:29Do you promise?
00:59:31Promise.
00:59:33Anything for a date with you.
00:59:41Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:45Say it with a smile.
00:59:47Be nice, Alan.
00:59:49Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:53See, that's what I'm talking about.
00:59:57Well, how do you want to go about this?
00:59:59People already know you're dating.
01:00:01Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct
01:00:03about our relationship status.
01:00:05Alright.
01:00:07What about you, Blake?
01:00:09Your contract?
01:00:11Let's just end the contract here.
01:00:13I wouldn't finish with that.
01:00:15Alright.
01:00:17And what about your secretary job?
01:00:19Still going to continue with that?
01:00:23Yeah, I'll still keep my job at home.
01:00:25Alright.
01:00:27Well, if she's made of her mind.
01:00:39No way.
01:00:41You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:00:49I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:00:51Yeah, let me see.
01:00:53You need to clear it.
01:00:55I'm going to go see Blake, she's not feeling well.
01:00:57Of course, of course, I understand.
01:01:01You need to listen to me for a second.
01:01:05I'm sorry.
01:01:07I shouldn't have hired Oliver.
01:01:09Yeah, I told you that before.
01:01:11But you didn't listen to me.
01:01:13And now we're here.
01:01:15She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:01:17Including her home address in the village.
01:01:19She's not safe anymore.
01:01:21What am I supposed to...
01:01:23Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:25How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:27Just talk to her.
01:01:29I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:31You do your job, I'll do mine.
01:01:39What's this?
01:01:41What's in the bag?
01:01:45Where are you going?
01:01:47I don't know.
01:01:49You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:01:53What does it look like I'm doing, Ben?
01:01:55I'm leaving.
01:01:57But no, you can't leave.
01:01:59We can fix this, it's not over.
01:02:01No, everything about me is on the internet, okay?
01:02:03I can't take it anymore.
01:02:05People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:02:07You're not fake.
01:02:09Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:02:11I can fix everything.
01:02:15I can't do this anymore, Ben.
01:02:17This isn't me, this isn't who I am.
01:02:19Blake, I love you so much.
01:02:21Just...
01:02:23Let me do something to fix it, I promise.
01:02:25Go.
01:02:27Just go.
01:02:29I can't do this anymore.
01:02:33Just go.
01:02:37Go.
01:02:47Good work, Oliver.
01:02:49Anything for you.
01:02:53So, um...
01:02:55Where's your part of the deal?
01:02:57I think I already paid you.
01:02:59Yeah, no you did.
01:03:03I'm talking about our date.
01:03:05Oliver...
01:03:07I was just kidding.
01:03:11You were kidding?
01:03:13Yeah, I thought you realised that.
01:03:15Look...
01:03:17We're just so different.
01:03:21What do you mean by that?
01:03:23Well...
01:03:25Let's just say I'm really useful
01:03:27to lots of different journalists.
01:03:29They want to date me
01:03:31and get the inside scoop
01:03:33and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:35Wait, so you think
01:03:37I can't do my job without you?
01:03:39Obviously.
01:03:41I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:43Wow.
01:03:47But...
01:03:49I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:03:51I need someone
01:03:53who's on the same level as me.
01:03:55You understand.
01:03:59Okay.
01:04:01Thanks for everything though.
01:04:05On the same level as you.
01:04:11We'll see about that.
01:04:19Hello?
01:04:21Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:04:23Ben's sick right now, that's why he wasn't on set today.
01:04:25Yeah, if we could
01:04:27make another day for the shoot, that would be amazing.
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:31Yeah, thank you very much.
01:04:33Alright.
01:04:35Okay, bye.
01:04:43Please pick up Ben.
01:04:51This is the legal notice I'm writing here.
01:04:55Find
01:04:57and double the amount
01:04:59paid.
01:05:03It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:07It's not negotiable.
01:05:13I will take this,
01:05:15but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:17Fine.
01:05:19But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:05:21Let's take down
01:05:23Ria together.
01:05:27Don't be loyal to nobody.
01:05:29You really are a piece of work.
01:05:31Ria betrayed me,
01:05:33so I want to take her down.
01:05:37Alright.
01:05:39But if you double-cross me again, I'll make your life a living hell.
01:05:43Ria paid me from the very start
01:05:45to write about Ben.
01:05:47She started all this.
01:05:57I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:03Blake deserves all the happiness in the world.
01:06:19What?
01:06:21Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:27What?
01:06:41I understand your decision to leave.
01:06:43But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:06:47But in the end, it's your life.
01:06:49I won't force you to do anything.
01:06:51Ria will be facing the consequences
01:06:53of her actions.
01:06:55She hired a lawyer
01:06:57to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:06:59The chats have been made public.
01:07:03Good for her.
01:07:05It's the least she deserves.
01:07:07I will write a statement for you
01:07:09and file a lawsuit against Ria
01:07:11for invading your privacy.
01:07:15It's fine, Alan.
01:07:17You don't have to waste all that money on me
01:07:19You don't have to waste all that money on me
01:07:21I'm just a regular person.
01:07:23So what?
01:07:25Regular people don't deserve respect.
01:07:33You know, I can't
01:07:35ruin the career that Ben has worked
01:07:37so hard to achieve.
01:07:41That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:07:45And I would
01:07:47really appreciate it if you could not
01:07:49tell Ben about this, please.
01:07:55Blake.
01:07:57Just take the check, please.
01:08:01I rarely did any good
01:08:03for Ben, Alan.
01:08:05See ya.
01:08:17Thank you for
01:08:19bearing with me.
01:08:25Why are you here, Ben?
01:08:27So,
01:08:29you've decided to leave?
01:08:31That's alright.
01:08:33Just let me drop you off.
01:08:35Ben, I-
01:08:37Please. One last time?
01:08:41Fine.
01:08:43Okay.
01:08:45Alan.
01:08:51You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:55I don't deserve to have you.
01:08:57All I've done
01:08:59is just cause you trouble and
01:09:01you've had enough trouble because
01:09:03I'm glad that
01:09:05you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:11It's not about you, Ben.
01:09:13You have
01:09:15dedicated your entire life to your career
01:09:17and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:09:19All that matters
01:09:21to me is you.
01:09:23And without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:27I know, Ben.
01:09:29I'm glad you know.
01:09:35I'm gonna, um,
01:09:37I'm gonna walk from here.
01:09:39You should come.
01:09:43Hey.
01:09:53Do you want to come meet my family?
01:10:03Wilk.
01:10:13Wilk.
