Short filmTranscript
00:00In this town, it's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top
00:16client.
00:17Once he's sober and on time, I publish his stream.
00:23For a star, branding is everything.
00:29Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big if she makes all the right moves.
00:36Stand tall, this is your leg.
00:44Knowing your handiwork?
00:45Late as usual.
00:46Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:50Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent, the guy I've known longer than anyone, dependable, intelligent,
00:56and annoyingly charming.
00:59Nice dress.
01:00Nice bowtie.
01:01Just needs a little adjustment here.
01:05How's our golden boy?
01:07Is he behaving himself, or are we in prison for all it takes?
01:10He's playing nice.
01:12Give it an hour.
01:17What the hell, man?
01:18You can't just hit someone!
01:21Or less.
01:25Well, that escalated quickly.
01:27Stay close.
01:28We need to handle this before it explodes.
01:30Damage control.
01:31Got it.
01:33What the hell, man?
01:34You can't just hit someone!
01:41Niles?
01:42What happened?
01:43This loser shoved this camera in my face.
01:45It's on my bad side.
01:47I didn't even touch him.
01:48He's being dramatic.
01:49You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras.
01:51We need to fix this.
01:52Don't say that.
01:54Let's go home.
01:57Let's not make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.
01:59We can solve this quietly.
02:01How about $1,000 a day?
02:04$5,000.
02:05I'll pay along with it.
02:07Fine.
02:08Deal.
02:10You better be good for it,
02:11or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:13It'll be fine.
02:15Oh, man!
02:16I dropped my camera again!
02:18I'm so clumsy!
02:20Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:23Niles Gilmore!
02:27So sweet.
02:28Great work, man.
02:35That was impressive.
02:36In Hollywood, connections are currency.
02:38Without me pulling the strings,
02:40even the brightest stars burn out.
02:41But I keep them shining.
02:51Ethan?
02:53What are you doing here?
03:23Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:25Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
03:27There's a last-minute addition of attention in the client meeting.
03:29Liam Sterling.
03:31Liam Sterling?
03:33That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:35He's looking to revamp his image.
03:37Interesting.
03:39When does he arrive?
03:53Mr. Sterling!
03:54Welcome to Harrington PR.
03:56I am your new client.
03:58I know.
03:59You are.
04:00Call me Liam.
04:06Heard a lot about you.
04:07I'd say you're the best one to visit.
04:09I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do.
04:11I'm not.
04:12I'm not.
04:13I'm not.
04:14I'm not.
04:15I'm not.
04:16I'm not.
04:17I'm not.
04:18I'm not.
04:19I'm not.
04:20I'm not.
04:21I'm not.
04:23I'm not good at what I do, but flattering won't get you any discounts.
04:26No discounts necessary.
04:28I'm here because I need a real change.
04:30Go on.
04:32I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless more than he's acting.
04:34I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless more than he's acting.
04:36I mean, the heart-rob thing, it's been fun.
04:38But it's not who I am.
04:40I want substance.
04:42Roles that really challenge me.
04:44If you're serious about this, it's not gonna be easy.
04:46And it won't happen overnight.
04:48And it won't happen overnight.
04:50Are you ready for that?
04:52Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:54Alright.
04:56We'll have to change your public persona.
04:58No more sexy magazine covers.
05:00No more sexy magazine covers.
05:02And no more feeding into that heart-robbing bitch.
05:04We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor.
05:06And you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
05:08And you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
05:10Taking roles with depth.
05:12Taking roles with depth.
05:14That's exactly what I want.
05:16I've been waiting for somebody to tell me
05:18that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com
05:20where I spend more time in the gym
05:22than with a script.
05:24Well, consider those your questions.
05:26But this is a partnership.
05:28But this is a partnership.
05:30You'll have to trust me.
05:32100%.
05:34I trust you.
05:36You're the person I've been looking for.
05:38You're the person I've been looking for.
05:42We'll make it happen.
05:44I'm all in.
05:46Brooke?
05:48Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:50Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:52You weren't interrupting anything.
05:54Is this your boyfriend?
05:56God, no.
05:58This is my close friend, Aiden.
06:00Nice to meet you.
06:02I'm Liam Sterling.
06:04No, you are.
06:06I work closely with your agent.
06:08I brought you a coffee.
06:10I'll just leave it with Margaret.
06:12Thanks.
06:16He's a nice guy.
06:18You sure he's not your boyfriend?
06:20I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
06:22Liam, remember?
06:24Liam.
06:26I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
06:28I'm, um...
06:30I'm sure it will.
06:32No.
06:34I think this is the start of a
06:36beautiful relationship.
06:46Hello?
06:50Who's there?
06:52I'm armed.
06:58Don't shoot.
07:00Liam?
07:02I thought I'd surprise you.
07:04With wine
07:06and flowers?
07:08I have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:10I'm sorry.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:14I made an appointment.
07:16I mean, I guess this works.
07:26So, what's the occasion?
07:30Some say I'm cutthroat.
07:32Do they?
07:34No, you don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:36Appearances may be deceiving.
07:38And yet,
07:40here I am with you.
07:43Well, someone's gotta keep you
07:45out of trouble.
07:47Maybe.
07:49Or maybe you're just avoiding what's
07:51really going on here.
07:53And what would that be?
07:55When the real chemistry's right here.
07:57Do we not?
07:59I don't know what you're talking about.
08:03I'm sure you don't.
08:05This wine
08:07is great.
08:09Great taste.
08:11So, are we gonna do something about this?
08:13Or are you just gonna sit here enjoying the wine?
08:17Okay.
08:19I'll let you get some rest.
08:21No.
08:23Stay a little longer.
08:27I'll stay as long as you want.
08:41This is so unprofessional.
08:43I'm not gonna fire you.
08:45Are you gonna fire me?
08:47No.
08:57Shit.
09:01Shit.
09:05Shit.
09:07Shit.
09:09Shit.
09:11No good morning kiss?
09:13I don't think so.
09:15Come on.
09:19Last night was a mistake.
09:21Fun,
09:23but still a mistake.
09:25Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:27You're my client.
09:29I'm supposed to be helping your career,
09:31not helping you.
09:33You know.
09:35You were great last night.
09:39Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:41If anyone caught us,
09:43this could ruin my career,
09:45not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
09:47Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:51Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:55Everyone else would.
09:57I mean, what serious actor
09:59sleeps with their publicist?
10:01The sooner we move past this,
10:03the sooner that I can get
10:05you and Lena
10:07and your career moving forward.
10:09Sound good?
10:13No.
10:15But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:19Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:23Yes.
10:25That's what's best.
10:27Whatever you say.
10:29I'm sorry.
10:31At least we got it out of our systems.
10:34Ugh.
10:48Last night was amazing.
10:50The movie sucked.
10:52Aside from my scene, I met this guy at the after party.
10:54He's a bit older.
10:56A screenwriter.
10:58Ugh, come on.
11:00An old screenwriter?
11:02Sophie Miller.
11:04You can do so much better.
11:06I know that look, Brooke.
11:08You're up to something.
11:10What makes you think that?
11:12You love playing matchmaker.
11:14Admit it.
11:16You're trying to set me up.
11:18Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
11:20You can be one of them.
11:22Well, what about you?
11:24When are you going to find your someone?
11:26Oh, I'm happy being single.
11:28Plus, I got enough on my plate
11:30You've never thought about it?
11:34Of course I have.
11:38But then I remember all the drama that comes with it
11:40and
11:42I like the way my life is.
11:44Dramatically.
11:46I think you're the only person in this town
11:48who doesn't crave drama.
11:50Alright, drama queen.
11:52We have a party to get ready for.
12:00This is quite the party.
12:02Only the best parties plan themselves.
12:04How about going out?
12:14So, whose party is this anyway?
12:16Dylan's.
12:18Dylan Parker's? You were serious about setting me up.
12:20When do I say anything just for fun?
12:22I thought this would be a good opportunity
12:24for you two to meet.
12:26You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:28Maybe you'll thank me later.
12:30Hi, Dylan.
12:32Meet Sophie.
12:34Yeah, I know Sophie.
12:36We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
12:38You remember that?
12:40How could I forget?
12:42And damn, Brooke.
12:44You gotta warn me when you dress like this.
12:46Sophie's the real star here.
12:48You guys should get to know each other.
12:50Alright, Sophie.
12:52Let's grab a drink.
12:54Find a quiet place to chat.
12:56That'd be great.
13:04What the?
13:06What the?
13:08Oh my god, your dress!
13:10You bitch!
13:12This dress is sponsored.
13:14Watch where you're walking.
13:16Who the hell are you?
13:18Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:20You better pay for this.
13:22Otherwise, I could ruin your career
13:25I'm sorry.
13:27I'll cover the clinic.
13:32Oops!
13:34Accident.
13:36I'm sorry. Your ugly thrift store dress
13:38looks even worse.
13:42I guess some people still haven't learned
13:44that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
13:46Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
13:48I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:50Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
13:52And if anyone's career is getting ruined
13:54it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
13:56She's an A-list publicist.
13:58Ruining reputations is her job.
14:00So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
14:06Take this.
14:10I didn't expect to see you here.
14:12I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:14You looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:18Depends.
14:20What do you have in mind?
14:22Smart. Strong.
14:24Independent.
14:26Maybe she runs her own business.
14:28There's a way around Hollywood.
14:30Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:32Almost impossible.
14:40Actually, there is someone
14:42that you should meet.
14:44Who's that?
14:46Lena Turner. She's one of my clients.
14:48She's one of the best directors in the business.
14:50I'll introduce you two.
14:52Could be good for you.
14:54Is that so?
14:56Lena! Meet Liam Sterling.
14:58Liam Sterling.
15:00It's so great to meet you.
15:02I've admired you and your work for years.
15:04The feeling is mutual.
15:06Congratulations on the horror film.
15:08You two should work together.
15:10We are working on a new direction for Liam.
15:12Something more serious.
15:14That would be amazing.
15:16I'll leave you two to chat.
15:18Well,
15:20that was fast.
15:30Of course.
15:36Wow.
15:38You look beautiful.
15:40Ethan, shouldn't you be holed up in an office
15:42somewhere working late as usual?
15:44Don't look so bummed.
15:47Agents get invited to these things too.
15:49It's not always just the pretty people.
15:51Speaking of pretty people...
15:55You look jealous.
15:57Why would I be jealous?
15:59Speaking of jealous...
16:01What made you run out so quickly this morning?
16:03I didn't want to get in the way of you and um...
16:05What was it?
16:07Liam.
16:09He's just a client, Ethan.
16:13You alright?
16:15Huh?
16:17I asked if you were alright.
16:19Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:21Let's get out of here.
16:23I promised Sophie I'd stay with her.
16:27Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:31Alright, whisk me away then.
16:33That's the spirit.
16:39Who would have thought that ten years later
16:41we'd be so successful?
16:43I didn't.
16:45When we came out here right after high school
16:47we had zero plan.
16:49You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:51Don't make fun of me.
16:53You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:55Who could forget?
16:57People change.
16:59We grow up.
17:01I don't think you're that different.
17:03Liar.
17:05Hey, take that back.
17:07Okay? I'm super different.
17:09I still feel the same way
17:11with you
17:13as I did when we were kids.
17:15And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:21Well, you're
17:23infuriating
17:25and
17:27you're like sunshine
17:29when it wants you.
17:31Oh, fuck you up, bro!
17:35Fuck you up, bro!
17:37Is that our action movie guy?
17:39Yeah, it's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:41Niles!
17:43Niles, stop!
17:45Everyone, stop filming!
17:47Move, Lee.
17:49You're gonna get in the way.
17:51Oh my god, are you okay?
17:53You fucking got me, huh?
17:55The cops are coming.
17:59Well, he's not gonna get very far.
18:01For action stories, a beer is always so much better.
18:07Let me see it.
18:09It's broken. I know it.
18:11Well, we won't know unless you let me look.
18:17What do you think?
18:21I don't think it's broken.
18:23I think you're gonna be just fine.
18:27You're always taking care of me.
18:29Well,
18:31someone has to.
18:33You always get yourself into trouble.
18:36Why are you always the one who has my back?
18:38I guess
18:40you mean a lot to me.
18:42That's why.
18:44You sure it's not just because you lack control?
18:46I might be a control freak,
18:48but that's not why I stick around.
18:52Then why do you?
18:54Ethan?
19:06We can't.
19:10Why not?
19:14Friends don't do this to each other.
19:18I didn't realize friendship had so many rules.
19:20Hey,
19:22you're loopy and I'm tipsy.
19:26How many of those pills did you even take?
19:28I don't know, maybe two?
19:30Why should I take more?
19:32The dosage is one.
19:34You're high off your ass right now.
19:38Okay.
19:40Alright.
19:42Now time to get sleep
19:44before anything gets too crazy.
19:46What's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:48Come on, live a little.
19:50Alright.
19:52Goodnight, Ethan.
19:54Worked out fine.
20:02Oh my god, Niles!
20:06I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:08Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:12Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:14Real warm reception.
20:16What's the deal?
20:18Whatever.
20:20Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:22Niles,
20:24I'm going to have to let you go.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:28You're a liability.
20:30You're joking, right?
20:32You hit me in the face.
20:34I would've hit anyone in the face.
20:36It wasn't because it was you, I was in the moment.
20:38That's almost worse.
20:40Way worse.
20:42This is bullshit.
20:44I hired you as my publicist to deal with this.
20:46So make it go away.
20:48I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:50I get clients' brand deals
20:52and magazine covers.
20:54I make them movie stars.
20:56I can't make criminals look good.
20:58That's so unfair, Ethan.
21:00Tell her she's being insane.
21:02I'm dropping you too, Niles.
21:04The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal.
21:06No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:08Now fuck this.
21:10Fuck you and fuck you too.
21:12You're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:18Well, he took that one.
21:20Yeah, he's going to pay
21:22for my nose job if this doesn't heal right.
21:24Your nose is fine.
21:26Perfect, Ethan.
21:28Mind dropping me at the office?
21:30You have a car.
21:32I'm all hopped up on pain medication.
21:34Trust me, you don't want me to drive.
21:36Okay.
21:42Are you sure you're good to go, Adam?
21:44I am more than good.
21:46I am incredible.
21:48Okay, thanks.
21:50Hey, seriously, how am I going to explain this to the team?
21:53Tell them you found an action star.
21:55They'll understand.
21:57That's actually really badass if you think about it.
22:11It's not my problem anymore.
22:19This is Brooke.
22:21I don't hold all the power in Hollywood right now,
22:23but I'm coming for you, Brooke Harrington.
22:29Who is this?
22:31Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult
22:33if you don't start to play nice.
22:45I had the best night with Dylan.
22:47He is so charming.
22:49We really clicked.
22:51You were so right.
22:53That's good. I told you so.
22:55Yeah, but there's one tiny red flat.
22:57He kept bringing you up.
22:59Me? Why?
23:01Don't know.
23:03It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:05Dylan and I? No, no, no.
23:07He's nothing more than a client.
23:09Okay, I just didn't want to step on any toes.
23:11I really like him.
23:13You're good. He's all yours.
23:15Great.
23:17Um,
23:19I think I'm just going to sit this one out.
23:21It's been a lot lately.
23:23Saw Niles mugshot.
23:25Not his most flattering look.
23:27Definitely not.
23:29Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:31Uh, yeah.
23:33That's a good idea.
23:35You guys should walk the carpet together.
23:37So soon?
23:39Everyone does it. It's hard.
23:41You are the best, Brooke.
23:47Brooke,
23:49you came.
23:51This is crazy. I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:53Well, they had another actress,
23:55but she had a total meltdown,
23:57so Dylan just threw my name into the ring,
23:59and they booked me.
24:01Thank you. Why are you thanking me?
24:03Well, if I would have never met Dylan,
24:05then I would have never booked this movie.
24:07You're basically better than my agent.
24:09I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:11Speaking of agents...
24:13Um,
24:15Ethan, Rep, Dylan, and Parker.
24:17You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:19What's up?
24:21It's work. The usual.
24:23Dealing with Niles' stuff. You know how it is.
24:25Just work.
24:27He's cute, though.
24:29I'm serious. It's nothing more than that.
24:31He's like my oldest friend.
24:33Whatever you say.
24:35But you have to introduce me to him soon.
24:37I need a new agent, and I've heard great things about him.
24:39He is the greatest.
24:41Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer.
24:44You are going to do great.
24:49You finally showed up.
24:51Well, I don't want to miss it all.
24:53How's it going?
24:55It depends. You come here to check on Sophie or me.
24:57It better be me.
25:03Of course. How's set?
25:05Well, you know, the usual.
25:07Long hours. A lot of takes.
25:09But Sophie, she is just killing it.
25:11I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star,
25:13her acting definitely would.
25:15I always knew she had it in her.
25:17I've been chatting with some of the producers
25:19and they're buzzing about the early dailies.
25:21Sophie's performance is top notch.
25:23You should take her on as a client, Ethan.
25:25Her agent sucks.
25:27Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me.
25:29Don't you?
25:31You know, between you and me,
25:33you're the real secret weapon here, Brooke.
25:37I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:39You might as well be.
25:41I didn't know you could be in charge of this.
25:43Alright, well, if you're going to take all the credit,
25:45I'm going to go make some calls,
25:47but don't let this guy sweet talk you too much, alright?
25:49Yeah, I did, uh,
25:51want to chat with you.
25:53Run some things by you.
25:55Some PR stuff.
25:57Alone.
26:01Um, I'm kind of busy right now, but what did you have in mind?
26:03Yeah, um, I mean,
26:05the PR strategy is good.
26:07I just feel like I could use a little more
26:09personal attention.
26:11You have weekly check-ins on a full day.
26:13We need some one-on-one time together.
26:15I mean, you are impressive
26:17and like
26:19beyond hot, Brooke.
26:21Um, Dylan,
26:23let's focus on your career.
26:25That's what we're here for, right?
26:27I think we could make magic together.
26:29Don't you?
26:35Um,
26:37call me.
26:41Who is this?
26:43Have you realized your wrongs?
26:47Wrongs?
26:49What are you talking about?
26:51The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore
26:53back to glory,
26:55the safer you'll be.
26:57Niles, is this you?
26:59Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
27:01This isn't Niles.
27:03Niles, that's exactly what you would say
27:06if it was you.
27:08This isn't fucking Niles.
27:10Then who are you?
27:12Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:14And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:20Hey, Dylan.
27:22Have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:24No, just the regular actress
27:26being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:28What's wrong?
27:32Psycho fan is trying to get back at me
27:34for firing Niles.
27:36Back at you? How?
27:38I don't know yet. They're being really vague and it's really annoying.
27:40Just block their number.
27:42I tried and then they called me back on a new one.
27:44You actually seem kind of worried.
27:46Do you want me to do something about it?
27:50What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:54I am a big, strong guy.
27:56I can beat him up
27:58or give him a chokehold.
28:00You're acting like I didn't just
28:02watch Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
28:04No, I think you're
28:06thinking of someone else.
28:08Yeah, I'm Frank.
28:10Want me to hang out with you for the day? Keep you company?
28:12Let's see.
28:16No, I have to get downtown
28:18for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:20But I'll let you know
28:22if I get any more creepy calls.
28:26You're going to be okay.
28:28Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:30I forgot you were a hugger.
28:32Thanks, though.
28:40Sexier! Give me sexy, sexy man!
28:46The camera's appointed to here!
28:50How's everything going?
28:52Not well. They're not interested in the new Liam Sterling.
28:54All they want is a sexy, sexy man.
28:56It's okay. I'll take care of this.
29:00Hi, Enzo.
29:02I'm Brooke, Liam's publicist.
29:04So, we're going
29:06for a new direction
29:08with Liam.
29:10More serious, less sexy.
29:12So, why don't we try this?
29:14The magazine wants a sexy,
29:16shirtless, sweaty, sensual...
29:18Unfortunately, that is not
29:20what I agreed upon with the creative team.
29:22So, we're either
29:24going to have to use the suit
29:26or you're going to have to find a different cover star.
29:28At the last minute?
29:30This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:32Ah, cazzo!
29:34Fine! Suit, change, hurry!
29:38Mamma mia!
29:44Ben fatto!
29:46Bravissimo!
29:48This is way cool.
29:50So fun to see him in the zone.
29:52Wait, what are you doing here?
29:54He invited me to see him in action.
29:57That's so sweet of him.
29:59He really is a sweetheart.
30:01It's not often you meet a guy that handsome
30:03that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:05That's definitely rare in our line.
30:09Okay! Great job!
30:11We got the shot! Bravo!
30:15Made it!
30:17Thanks for having me. You were great out there.
30:23The suit worked out nicely.
30:25Yeah, thanks again for that.
30:27I don't know what I'd do without you.
30:29Neither do I.
30:31What time is the dinner?
30:33Dinner?
30:37Yeah, it's at 7.
30:39We're going to go check out the new sushi spot on Sunset.
30:41I heard the sashimi is to die for.
30:43Liam got us reservations.
30:45Super cool. That sounds fun.
30:47Right?
30:49Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
30:51Liam is amazing.
30:53That's my job.
30:55You guys have fun.
30:57Sashimi!
30:59Thanks, girl.
31:03What the hell are you doing?
31:05He's your client.
31:07You don't like him.
31:09You're a professional.
31:11Stop.
31:19You're a strong, independent woman.
31:23You don't need him.
31:27Good morning, Brooke.
31:29You have back-to-back meetings today
31:31and Liam Sterling is on the line.
31:33He said it's urgent.
31:35Can you call him while I call back?
31:42We positioned Liam as a modern,
31:44thoughtful, leading man.
31:46He's pushed past this heartthrob phase
31:48and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:50His next role will be key in redefining
31:52the public image.
31:54I like it, but don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:56His fan base may not be ready.
31:58They want apps.
32:04Don't worry.
32:06I have a plan for that.
32:08As you can see here...
32:14There you are.
32:16I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:19Um...
32:21I've been in meetings.
32:23What are you doing in my office?
32:25Margaret...
32:27Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:29We have to talk about the other thing.
32:31Liam, we can't.
32:33Not now.
32:37We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
32:49Okay.
32:51The other day was intense,
32:53but we need to keep things professional.
32:55You have a rebrand to focus on
32:57and I have a company to run.
32:59I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:01And I don't want that either.
33:03But we need to cool it
33:05for both of our sakes.
33:19So?
33:21Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:23We're hard launching on social media.
33:25That's great, so?
33:27You seem happy.
33:29Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:31People are saying you and Liam Sterling
33:33are in a thing.
33:38Me and Liam?
33:40What?
33:42You know how people talk.
33:44I told them it's ridiculous,
33:46Liam is just a client, nothing else.
33:48Right.
33:50LA people love to gossip.
33:52Anyway, I think Dylan is
33:54really serious about us.
34:02Who was that?
34:04Just work. Always something.
34:06You're still coming to set tonight, right?
34:08I have that huge scene.
34:10I wouldn't miss it.
34:16Hey.
34:40You want some of this?
34:42Hi.
34:45Dylan, I said cut!
34:47Stop punching!
34:51I didn't even realize
34:53Lena was directing this film.
34:55Brooke, she's literally your client.
34:57It's hard to keep it together lately.
34:59Are you okay?
35:01You know, your usual obnoxiously organized
35:03self lately.
35:06Okay, I'm gonna tell you this just because
35:08I trust you not to repeat it,
35:10but I am
35:12beyond overwhelmed.
35:14Did you get any more of those weird calls?
35:16Yeah, I got a message today, and
35:18that on top of work
35:20and some other stuff that I'm
35:22dealing with,
35:24just...
35:26I think you should get some rest.
35:27I can't.
35:29I promised Sophie I'd stay for her scenes.
35:31She's nervous.
35:35She's lucky to have you.
35:37She's like a little sister to me.
35:39Plus if I left now,
35:41I wouldn't get any sleep.
35:43Anyway, so...
35:44Do you want me to stay over?
35:46Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone?
35:48Like a sleepover?
35:50That actually sounds really nice, Ethan.
35:52Thanks.
35:54I owe you.
35:56Moving on to the next scene!
36:06Dylan, what are you doing here?
36:08It's a woman's dressing room.
36:09You know what I'm doing.
36:13I literally don't.
36:15You know you want to see what it is.
36:17You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:19You want
36:21to see Dylan fucking
36:23Parker.
36:24No!
36:25Ew!
36:27Ah!
36:28I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
36:30You're my client. I'm your publicist.
36:32Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
36:34Yeah.
36:35Yeah, she's jealous. Look.
36:37Then act like it.
36:39Because she really likes you.
36:41And if you're not serious about her, it's gonna hurt.
36:43I'm only dating her for the publicity.
36:45I'm gonna drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out.
36:48And then you and I can finally be together.
36:51You and I?
36:54We are never going to be together.
36:56I'm not even remotely interested in you.
36:58If you try this shit again, I'm dropping you as a client.
37:04Motherfucker.
37:06What the fuck, babe?
37:11Brooke, did you see that?
37:13This seems so much fun.
37:15Um, is everything okay?
37:17I'm just not feeling too well.
37:19Oh, no. I hope you're not coming down to something.
37:22Um, probably just overworked.
37:25Well, go home. Get some rest.
37:27Are you sure?
37:28I'm positive.
37:29I really appreciate you coming, but
37:31I need you well-rested so that we can party this weekend, okay?
37:34Okay, fair. But do you have a ride home?
37:36Dylan's driving me. I'll see you.
37:42Ready to get out of here?
37:43Beyond ready.
37:45Okay.
37:54I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
37:56Okay.
38:02Alright, the windows and doors are locked and the alarm system's on.
38:05Thanks for checking.
38:08You're safe.
38:09Whoever's leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank, or
38:13is Niles being childish again?
38:15I really think so.
38:17I do.
38:19But it's okay to be scared.
38:21I'm here for you.
38:25I don't know how much you mean to me.
38:27Alright, goodnight.
38:29Can you please sleep here with me?
38:31You sure?
38:32I'm positive.
38:34I'll always be here for you.
38:51Can't sleep?
38:53No.
38:55You either?
38:59There's something that's been on my mind.
39:01There's something I've been wanting to do.
39:15I've wanted this for so long.
39:18Me too.
39:20More than anything.
39:23Okay.
39:43I love you.
39:53I love you too.
40:12Good morning.
40:13I made the coffee unbearably strong just the way you like it.
40:16Amazing.
40:18So you feeling better now?
40:20Huh?
40:22What?
40:23From a full night's sleep?
40:24Oh.
40:25Yeah.
40:26I slept great.
40:27Thanks for staying with me.
40:28I finally felt a little safe.
40:29No problem.
40:30Plus your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:32That's sad, Ethan.
40:36Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:38Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
40:39Cool.
40:44Ethan?
40:45You need a towel.
40:52Um, I forgot to say...
41:02Okay, we stuck the towels.
41:05Thanks.
41:06Yeah.
41:07Wanna jump in with me?
41:09Shut up.
41:13Um, I should probably go get that.
41:15Want me to check it out?
41:16No. No, it's okay.
41:17You shower.
41:18I'll be quick.
41:22Hey.
41:28Liam, what are you doing here?
41:30You've been ignoring my calls.
41:32We're supposed to be distancing.
41:34I'm over that.
41:35Look, can I come inside?
41:36No.
41:39No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:41You're being really weird.
41:42No, I'm being cautious.
41:44Okay?
41:45People can't see us together.
41:47There's already rumors swirling.
41:49So let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:54No one has to know that.
41:57So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:59So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
42:01I don't care, alright?
42:02I like being around you, and I want to explore our connection.
42:09I can't do this, okay?
42:10Brooke.
42:11Brooke, come on, wait!
42:19Your shower head's incredible.
42:21Gotta guarantee your designer's contact info.
42:23Yeah, they're great.
42:24Oh, I'll give it to you.
42:28Who's at the door?
42:30Um...
42:32Just some girls selling cookies.
42:36Do you want to get breakfast?
42:38No, I'm just gonna head to the office early.
42:41You never turned down breakfast.
42:43Just not hungry.
42:45See you later.
42:50Shit.
42:53So why'd you call me here?
42:54You wanna offer me representation again?
42:56I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:58I want to know why you're leaving me these insane messages.
43:06This isn't for me.
43:07Don't bullshit us, Niles.
43:09Tell the truth.
43:11I won't be mad.
43:12I didn't send you this.
43:13What about the creepy voice calls?
43:15The voice changer didn't fool me.
43:17What phone call?
43:18Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:20Why don't you just admit it?
43:22Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you,
43:24but I have a business to run, okay?
43:27Did you do this or not?
43:29Brooke, let me tell you something.
43:31I have court dates, no movie deals,
43:34and two excessively large mansions
43:36that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for
43:38to keep out of foreclosure.
43:40So no, I didn't have time to go over pranks
43:42that you're dealing with.
43:44Okay.
43:45Do you believe him?
43:46I do.
43:48So can I go,
43:49or are you going to try to accuse me
43:50of something else I didn't do?
43:52No, you can go.
43:54Sorry.
43:58We should call the cops, right?
44:00Get an investigation going?
44:02No, not yet.
44:03Thanks, partner.
44:11The customer you're trying to reach is not available.
44:14Please call back.
44:18Hi.
44:19I questioned Niles.
44:21Please call me ASAP.
44:34Sophie, what's going on?
44:35I got your text.
44:36What's the emergency?
44:42He broke up with me, Brooke.
44:44What?
44:45When?
44:46When did this happen?
44:47After our last scene.
44:48He said it was because of you
44:49that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:52What?
44:53I would never say that.
44:55He's lying.
44:56Then why would he blame you?
44:58I don't know.
44:59I guess he's using me as an excuse.
45:01I feel so stupid.
45:03I really liked him.
45:04We even got these matching bracelets.
45:07You're not stupid, okay?
45:09Dylan messed up.
45:11You deserve better.
45:12Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
45:14I swear, okay?
45:15He's just avoiding accountability.
45:17He's a douche.
45:18How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:22Sophie.
45:24You're a professional.
45:26Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:28You're right.
45:29Yeah.
45:31Okay.
45:33One second.
45:34It's Ethan.
45:40Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:42Sophie and I have a meeting.
45:43You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:46Busy day.
45:49Sophie.
45:51What's wrong?
45:52Are you okay?
45:53Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:56I'm so sorry to hear that.
45:58Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
45:59Because I totally understand.
46:00No, no, no, no.
46:01Absolutely not.
46:02I've been waiting to talk to you.
46:03Great.
46:04So have I.
46:06Um, Brooke.
46:08I will see you after I wrap here tonight.
46:11Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:13Yeah, sure.
46:16Um, Ethan.
46:18Call me back whenever you can, okay?
46:19It's really important.
46:21Yeah, okay.
46:32Oh, what's good?
46:33It's Big Dale.
46:34Damn.
46:35You fucking liar.
46:36What are you talking about?
46:37Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:41You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me.
46:43I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:45You're disgusting.
46:47I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:50I didn't lie to her.
46:53Okay.
46:55I lied.
46:56I lied.
46:57I'm sorry.
46:58I'll apologize to her tonight, okay?
47:00You trying to kill my star?
47:03He's a fool when stars clatter.
47:05Can we talk?
47:07In private.
47:12Wow, nice office.
47:14Sit down.
47:17Lena, what's wrong?
47:18Did something happen on set?
47:20You tell me.
47:21Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on, just not on my set.
47:25I don't understand.
47:27I'm talking about you and Liam.
47:31You introduced us, pushed us together, and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:36No, it's not like that.
47:38Bullshit!
47:39Everyone's talking about it.
47:40You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
47:42You think I'm dumb?
47:44Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
47:46There is something going on between us, but...
47:48What? You didn't expect to fall into his bed?
47:51You set us up like pawns in your game and now you want him for yourself?
47:54No, I truly wanted you two to be happy.
47:57You don't care about me.
47:59You only care about your selfish matchmaking games.
48:02You didn't care what this would do to me.
48:04That's not true, Lena.
48:07I'm sorry.
48:08I'm sorry.
48:09You're sorry you got caught.
48:10Luckily I'm over him.
48:12He really is just a shallow, pretty boy.
48:14Even with your shitty PR memory.
48:16We're done.
48:18Get out.
48:39Um, Sophie, I said seven, it's almost eight.
48:42Sorry, we got distracted.
48:45Is that so?
48:46He's so funny.
48:47You have to tell Brooke about the story of your dog in the summer house.
48:50You mean my dog eating the lasagna that his mom made for dinner?
48:55I know that one.
48:57I was there.
48:59Hey, can you go stir the pot, um, on the stove?
49:01I have to talk to Ethan about a shared client.
49:03You mean dinner?
49:04On it.
49:07Um, so I talked to Niles and he swear it wasn't him.
49:11I don't know if we should believe him but I mean, I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind.
49:16What do you think?
49:17I don't know if we should believe him but I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind.
49:21I don't know if we should believe him but I mean, I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind.
49:26I don't know, Brooke.
49:27Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:30Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
49:33No, he's not.
49:35But clearly you are.
49:37What are you talking about?
49:38I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
49:40I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:42Soph?
49:44Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:46We have a lot in common, okay?
49:48She sees me, Brooke.
49:49Sees you?
49:50What does that even mean?
49:52I...
49:57I was just throwing all of a sudden this flew through the window.
50:00It wasn't me, I swear.
50:02What is it?
50:07I knew it.
50:08Knew what?
50:12What are you talking about?
50:14Oh my god.
50:18I want to see.
50:21Holy shit, Brooke.
50:24Holy shit, Brooke.
50:26I...
50:27Lied.
50:28You lied to me about the rumors.
50:29You said it was nothing.
50:31I...
50:32I didn't mean to.
50:33I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:34You weren't trying to lie to me.
50:36We're supposed to tell each other everything.
50:37We're best friends.
50:39I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:41So what was I, Brooke?
50:42Just a backup?
50:44Someone to keep you around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:47No, Ethan.
50:48It wasn't like that.
50:49You knew exactly what you were doing.
50:51What?
50:52I thought we were finally going to admit how we felt about each other.
50:57More than friends.
51:01Ethan, I didn't mean to hurt you.
51:04You hurt us both, Brooke.
51:06I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
51:09I know.
51:10I just...
51:11I didn't want it to be real.
51:12I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
51:14Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:17I thought we had something, Brooke.
51:19Can't you feel it too?
51:20Brooke, you need to figure out what you want.
51:23You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
51:25They're not a game, no matter how much you'd like them to be.
51:30I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:32Ethan, I don't understand.
51:33I thought we were just friends.
51:34I didn't...
51:35Bullshit.
51:39After all these years, I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
51:42You are special to me.
51:44Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
51:47Wait.
51:48Save it, Brooke.
51:50Okay.
52:01Oh, no!
52:02Did I break it up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
52:05Are you happy now?
52:06Not even close.
52:07You'll pay.
52:08Go to hell.
52:13I said go to hell!
52:17Whoa, wait.
52:18What did I do?
52:19Liam?
52:20I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else.
52:22Look, can I come over?
52:24I want to see you.
52:28Fine.
52:32Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
52:35It's not a rumor if it's true.
52:37It's a shame things between us had to cause so much drama.
52:40It's crazy.
52:41I can craft and control all of my clients' public images.
52:46I could spin any story around.
52:49Make bad press good.
52:51Shape the way Hollywood sees them.
52:54But when it comes to people I actually care about, I'm powerless.
53:00I have this wall over everything.
53:03Everything's controlled.
53:05It looks easily managed.
53:07But no, in reality, it's such a mess.
53:11I spent so long creating these perfect lives for everyone else.
53:18I think it's just time for me to be honest about mine.
53:21You know, you can control everybody else's image.
53:23But when it comes to your own life, sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
53:27I should have understood the consequences.
53:29For everyone.
53:31For you.
53:33For Lena.
53:34For Ethan.
53:37You know, Ethan's not totally innocent in all this either.
53:41He's been keeping things bottled up for way too long.
53:43I should have just been honest with him.
53:45Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:47You won't lose me.
53:49To be determined.
53:50Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
53:52Just let things happen naturally.
54:01Liam, I'm sorry.
54:03You love Ethan?
54:05Yeah.
54:08I do.
54:10I understand.
54:12And for what it's worth, I think you should go get what you want.
54:15You're not upset?
54:16I am.
54:18But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:28Hi, Ethan.
54:30Surprise, Brooke!
54:32It's you.
54:34Where's Ethan?
54:35Ethan and Sophie are with me.
54:37Let's just say they're safe for now.
54:38You have Sophie too?
54:40Where are you?
54:42Oh, you'll know soon enough.
54:44But here's the thing.
54:45If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:47I'll do anything.
54:48Check your texts.
54:55Let's go.
54:56I'll drive.
55:05Wait.
55:07If things get out of control, you need to run.
55:09Okay?
55:10This doesn't involve you.
55:11I'm not leaving your side.
55:13Okay.
55:18Hello?
55:26Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:28I'm so glad you could make it.
55:30Let them go.
55:31Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
55:33You make a great addition to my kill team.
55:35No one's getting killed tonight.
55:41No!
55:42Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:52Niles.
55:53You swore that it wasn't you.
55:55I'm a fucking actor.
55:57All we do is lie.
55:58You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power,
56:01you really are just another stupid, stupid Hollywood girl.
56:05You're insane.
56:07Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
56:09What do I want?
56:11I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:17You think you're untouchable.
56:19PR queen.
56:21Always in control.
56:23But, Brooke, you're just like the rest of us.
56:26Disposable.
56:29This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:32Ego?
56:33No.
56:34Brooke, this is about power.
56:36Your company.
56:37Liam.
56:38Sophie.
56:39Ethan.
56:41They stole your attention from me.
56:44But I'm taking it back.
56:46You're wrong, Niles.
56:47PR isn't about power.
56:49It's about helping people.
56:51And I tried to help you, but you're Beyoncé.
56:54Nope.
56:55Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:57It's about bending people to your will.
57:02Do you really think that you can play puppet master forever?
57:13You're quick, but not really.
57:19Come to help.
57:20I don't think so.
57:28Show's over, Niles.
57:30I'm a fucking movie star, you can't kill me.
57:33I'm in control.
57:48Brooke, you really kicked his ass.
57:50Oh my god, you fucked him up.
57:52Brooke, I'm so sorry.
57:54No, this is all my fault.
57:56No, Brooke.
57:58I've wasted the last ten years of my life hiding the way I felt about you.
58:02I don't want to hide anymore.
58:04I'm so desperately in love with you.
58:06I don't want to spend another day of my life without you by my side.
58:08I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:11Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay?
58:14I'm in love with you, okay?
58:16And I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
58:27I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:29I love you, Brooke Harrington.
58:33Guys, I'm... I'm still tied up.
58:41No, it's cool. I got it.
58:43Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:47Hey, can I ask you something?
58:49Anything.
58:50I look, like, really heroic, right?
58:53I look, like, really heroic, right?
58:56I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:58Yes, um, it was fair.
59:04What do you say we get out of here?
59:06That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:08Um, guys?
59:10Where's Niles?
59:12He must have ran off.
59:14He won't get very far.
59:16He's not a very fast runner.
59:24Shh.
59:26Ahh!
59:33You did good, Brooke.
59:36Couldn't do it without you.
59:38What do you say we take to the carpet, Niles?
59:40I'd go anywhere with you.
59:53Oh, yeah.
