00:00:26Control.
00:00:27In this town, it's oxygen.
00:00:29Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client.
00:00:34Once he's sober and on time, I publish his stream.
00:00:42For a star, rhyming is everything.
00:00:46Sophie Miller, fresh face.
00:00:48On the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:00:52Stand tall. This is your life.
00:01:00Knowing your handiwork?
00:01:02Late as usual.
00:01:03Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:01:06Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent.
00:01:08The guy I've known longer than anyone.
00:01:10Dependable, intelligent, and annoyingly charming.
00:01:15Nice dress.
00:01:17Nice bowtie.
00:01:19Just needs a little adjustment here.
00:01:23How's our golden boy?
00:01:24Is he behaving himself or are we in friends' romantics?
00:01:27He's playing nice.
00:01:29Give it an hour.
00:01:33What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
00:01:37Or less.
00:01:42That escalated quickly.
00:01:44Stay close.
00:01:45We need to handle this before it explodes.
00:01:47Damage control. Got it.
00:01:50What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
00:01:58Niles?
00:01:59What happened?
00:02:00This loser shoved this camera in my face.
00:02:02It's on my bad side.
00:02:04I didn't even touch him. He's being dramatic.
00:02:06You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras.
00:02:08We need to fix this.
00:02:09Don't say that.
00:02:15Let's not make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.
00:02:17We can solve this quietly.
00:02:18How about $1,000 a day?
00:02:22$5,000? I'll pay a lot more.
00:02:25Fine.
00:02:28You better be good for it or else I'm going straight to the press.
00:02:31It'll be him.
00:02:33Oh, man! I dropped my camera again!
00:02:36I'm so clumsy!
00:02:37Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
00:02:44So sweet.
00:02:45Great work, man.
00:02:52That was impressive.
00:02:54In Hollywood, connections are currency.
00:02:56Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out.
00:02:58But I keep them shining.
00:03:08Ethan?
00:03:10What are you doing here?
00:03:26Come here.
00:03:42Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
00:03:43Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
00:03:45There's a last-minute addition at the potential new client meeting.
00:03:48Liam Sterling.
00:03:49Liam Sterling?
00:03:51That hot guy from the new rom-com?
00:03:53He's looking to revamp his image.
00:03:55Interesting.
00:03:57When does he arrive?
00:04:20Mr. Sterling!
00:04:22Welcome to Harrington PR.
00:04:24I am fucking loving this.
00:04:27Call me Liam.
00:04:34Heard a lot about you.
00:04:35I'd say you're the best one to visit.
00:04:38I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do, but flattery won't get you any discounts.
00:04:43No discounts necessary.
00:04:45I'm here because I need a real change.
00:04:48Go on.
00:04:49I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless when he's acting.
00:04:52I mean, the heartthrob thing, it's been fun.
00:04:55But it's not who I am.
00:04:57I want substance.
00:04:58Roles that really challenge me.
00:05:00If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy.
00:05:04And it won't happen overnight.
00:05:07Are you ready for that?
00:05:10Sounds easy with you by my side.
00:05:12Alright.
00:05:14We'll have to change your public persona.
00:05:16No more sexy magazine covers.
00:05:18And no more feeding into that heartthrob image.
00:05:21We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor.
00:05:24And you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
00:05:27Taking roles with depth.
00:05:30Range.
00:05:31That's exactly what I want.
00:05:33I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com
00:05:37where I spend more time in the gym than with a script.
00:05:41Well, consider those your questions.
00:05:44But this is a partnership.
00:05:46You'll have to trust me.
00:05:48100%.
00:05:50I trust you, Brooke.
00:05:53You're the person I've been looking for.
00:05:58What might happen?
00:06:00I'm all in.
00:06:05Brooke?
00:06:09Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:06:12You weren't interrupting anything.
00:06:13Is this your boyfriend?
00:06:14I, uh...
00:06:15God, no.
00:06:17This is my close friend, Ethan.
00:06:19Oh.
00:06:20Well, nice to meet you.
00:06:21I'm Liam Sterling.
00:06:23I know who you are.
00:06:24I work closely with your agent.
00:06:26I brought you a coffee.
00:06:27I'll just leave it with Margaret.
00:06:28Thanks.
00:06:34He's a nice guy.
00:06:36I'm sure he's not your boyfriend.
00:06:38I'm single.
00:06:39Mr. Sterling.
00:06:40Liam.
00:06:41Remember?
00:06:42Liam.
00:06:44I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
00:06:46I'm, uh...
00:06:48I'm sure it will.
00:06:49You know,
00:06:51I think this is the start of a
00:06:53beautiful relationship.
00:07:10Hello?
00:07:13Who's there?
00:07:15I'm armed.
00:07:21Don't shoot.
00:07:22Liam?
00:07:23Thought I'd surprise you.
00:07:26With...
00:07:27wine and flowers?
00:07:30I don't have to butter you up
00:07:31because I didn't make an appointment.
00:07:33I mean, I guess this works.
00:07:42So,
00:07:43what's the occasion?
00:07:47Some say I'm cutthroat.
00:07:49Do they?
00:07:51No, you don't look so cutthroat to me.
00:07:53Appearances may be deceiving.
00:07:56And yet,
00:07:58here I am with you.
00:08:00Well, someone's got to keep you out of trouble.
00:08:04Maybe.
00:08:06Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
00:08:09And what would that be?
00:08:10Well, the real chemistry's right here.
00:08:12Do we not?
00:08:14I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:18I'm sure you don't.
00:08:21This wine is great.
00:08:23Great taste.
00:08:26So, are we going to do something about this
00:08:27or are you just going to sit here enjoying the wine?
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:35I'll let you get some rest.
00:08:37No.
00:08:39No.
00:08:41Stay a little longer.
00:08:44I'll stay as long as you want.
00:08:45As long as you want.
00:09:07This is so unprofessional.
00:09:08I'm not going to fire you.
00:09:10Are you going to fire me?
00:09:12No.
00:09:15No.
00:09:22Shit.
00:09:25Shit.
00:09:29No good morning kiss?
00:09:31I don't think so.
00:09:33Come on.
00:09:36Last night was a mistake.
00:09:38Fun,
00:09:40but still a mistake.
00:09:42Yeah, I don't think I agree.
00:09:43You're my client.
00:09:45I'm supposed to be helping your career,
00:09:46not helping you.
00:09:48You know.
00:09:51You were great last night.
00:09:54Now, can you please just get dressed?
00:09:57If anyone caught us,
00:09:58this could ruin my career,
00:09:59not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
00:10:02Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
00:10:06Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
00:10:08Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
00:10:13Everyone else would.
00:10:15I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
00:10:19The sooner we move past this,
00:10:21the sooner that I can get you and Lena
00:10:24and your career moving forward.
00:10:26Sound good?
00:10:31No.
00:10:32But if that's what you want,
00:10:33then I guess I don't have a choice.
00:10:37Is that what you want, Brooke?
00:10:40Yes.
00:10:42That's what's best.
00:10:44Whatever you say.
00:10:46I'm sorry.
00:10:47At least we got it out of our systems.
00:10:49Call you later.
00:10:50Okay.
00:11:06Last night was amazing.
00:11:08The movie sucked.
00:11:09Aside from my scene,
00:11:10I met this guy at the after party.
00:11:11He's a bit older.
00:11:12A screenwriter.
00:11:14Ugh, come on.
00:11:16An old screenwriter?
00:11:18You are Sophie Miller.
00:11:20You can do so much better.
00:11:22I know that look, Brooke.
00:11:23You're up to something.
00:11:24What makes you think that?
00:11:26You love playing matchmaker.
00:11:27Admit it.
00:11:28You're trying to set me up.
00:11:30Half of Hollywood's power couples
00:11:31owe their happiness to me.
00:11:34You can be one of them.
00:11:36Well, what about you?
00:11:37When are you going to find your someone?
00:11:40Oh, I'm happy being single.
00:11:42Plus, I got enough on my plate
00:11:43managing everyone else's love lives.
00:11:47You've never thought about it?
00:11:51Of course I have.
00:11:55But then I remember all the drama
00:11:56that comes with it and...
00:11:59I like the way my life is.
00:12:01Dramatically.
00:12:03I think you're the only person in this town
00:12:04who doesn't crave drama.
00:12:07Alright, drama queen.
00:12:09We have a party to get ready for.
00:12:17This is quite the party.
00:12:18One of the best parties
00:12:19we've had in a long time.
00:12:21How about one now?
00:12:30So, whose party is this anyway?
00:12:32Dylan's.
00:12:34Dylan Parker's?
00:12:35You were serious about setting me up.
00:12:37When do I say anything just for fun?
00:12:39I thought this would be
00:12:40a good opportunity for you two to meet.
00:12:42You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
00:12:44Trust me. You'll thank me later.
00:12:45Hi, Dylan.
00:12:47Meet Sophie.
00:12:49Yeah, no, I know Sophie.
00:12:51We met at that Kim read
00:12:52for the horror flick, right?
00:12:53You remember that?
00:12:55How could I forget?
00:12:57And damn, Brooke.
00:12:59You gotta warn me
00:13:00when you dress like this.
00:13:02Um, Sophie's the real star here.
00:13:04You guys should get to know each other.
00:13:06Hi, Sophie.
00:13:08Let's grab a drink.
00:13:10Find a quiet place to chat.
00:13:12That'd be great.
00:13:14That'd be great.
00:13:22What the?
00:13:25What the?
00:13:26Oh my god, your dress!
00:13:28You bitch!
00:13:29This dress is sponsored!
00:13:31Watch where you're walking.
00:13:32Who the hell are you?
00:13:34Just a crazy fan
00:13:35sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
00:13:38You better pay for this.
00:13:40Otherwise, I could ruin your career
00:13:41with a single cent.
00:13:43I'm sorry.
00:13:44I'll cover the clinic.
00:13:49Oops!
00:13:51Accident.
00:13:52I'm sorry.
00:13:53Your ugly thrift store dress
00:13:54looks even worse.
00:13:59I guess some people
00:14:00still haven't learned
00:14:01that in Hollywood
00:14:02there are cameras everywhere.
00:14:03Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
00:14:05I just watched his movie yesterday.
00:14:07Damn, he looks even hotter
00:14:08in person.
00:14:10And if anyone's career
00:14:11is getting ruined,
00:14:12she's an A-list publicist.
00:14:14Ruining reputations is her job.
00:14:16So if I were you,
00:14:17I would watch my mouth around her.
00:14:22Take this.
00:14:26I didn't expect to see you here.
00:14:28I wasn't expecting
00:14:29to see you here either.
00:14:31You looking for somebody
00:14:32to put on your matchmaking list?
00:14:34Depends.
00:14:36What do you have in mind?
00:14:38A girl who's smart,
00:14:39strong,
00:14:40independent,
00:14:41independent.
00:14:43Maybe she runs her own business.
00:14:45Knows her way around Hollywood.
00:14:47Sounds like she's hard to find.
00:14:50Almost impossible.
00:14:57Actually, there is
00:14:58someone that you should meet.
00:15:00Yeah? Who's that?
00:15:01Lena Turner.
00:15:03She's one of my clients.
00:15:04She's one of the best directors
00:15:05in the business.
00:15:07I'll introduce you two.
00:15:09Could be good for you.
00:15:10Is that so?
00:15:12Lena!
00:15:14Meet Liam Sterling.
00:15:16Liam Sterling.
00:15:17It's so great to meet you.
00:15:18I've admired you
00:15:19and your work for years.
00:15:20The feeling is mutual.
00:15:21Congratulations on the horror film.
00:15:23You two should work together.
00:15:26We are working on a new direction
00:15:27for Liam.
00:15:28Something more serious.
00:15:30That would be amazing.
00:15:31I'll leave you two to chat.
00:15:33Thanks for the introduction.
00:15:34Anytime.
00:15:41Well, that was fast.
00:15:49Of course.
00:15:55Wow.
00:15:57You look beautiful.
00:15:59Ethan, shouldn't you be holed up
00:16:00in an office somewhere
00:16:01working late as usual?
00:16:03Don't look so bummed.
00:16:04Agents get invited
00:16:05to these things too.
00:16:06It's not always just
00:16:07the pretty people.
00:16:09Speaking of pretty people...
00:16:12You look jealous.
00:16:15Why would I be jealous?
00:16:17Speaking of jealous...
00:16:19What made you run out so quickly
00:16:20this morning?
00:16:21Oh, I didn't want to get
00:16:22in the way of you and um...
00:16:24What was it?
00:16:25Liam.
00:16:26He's just a client, Ethan.
00:16:30You alright?
00:16:31Huh?
00:16:33I asked if you were alright.
00:16:34Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
00:16:36Overcrowded?
00:16:38Let's get out of here.
00:16:39I promised Sophie
00:16:40I'd stay with her.
00:16:43Hmm.
00:16:44Looks like she'll be okay
00:16:45on her own.
00:16:47Alright.
00:16:48Whisk me away then.
00:16:49That's the spirit.
00:16:56Who would have thought
00:16:57that ten years later
00:16:58we would be so successful?
00:16:59I knew we would, man.
00:17:01I didn't.
00:17:02When we came out here
00:17:03right after high school
00:17:04we had zero plan.
00:17:05I still wanted to be
00:17:06an actress back then.
00:17:07Hey, don't make fun of me.
00:17:08You knew how good I was
00:17:09in Romeo and Juliet.
00:17:11Oh, who could forget?
00:17:13But...
00:17:15people change.
00:17:16We grow up.
00:17:18I don't think
00:17:19you're that different.
00:17:20Liar.
00:17:23Hey, take that back.
00:17:24Okay?
00:17:25I'm super different.
00:17:28I still feel the same way
00:17:30with you
00:17:31as I did when we were kids.
00:17:33And how do I make you
00:17:34feel, Ethan?
00:17:36Uh...
00:17:37Um...
00:17:38Well, you're, uh...
00:17:41you're infuriating
00:17:42and...
00:17:44you're like sunshine
00:17:45all at once.
00:17:47Oh, fuck you up, bro!
00:17:52Fuck you up, bro!
00:17:54Is that our actual movie guy?
00:17:55Yeah, he's the one that keeps
00:17:56beating up people
00:17:57for no reason.
00:17:58Miles!
00:17:59Miles, stop!
00:18:00Everyone, stop filming!
00:18:01Move, lady.
00:18:02You're gonna get in the way.
00:18:07Oh my god, are you okay?
00:18:09Fuck, he got me, huh?
00:18:11The cops are coming.
00:18:15Well, he's not gonna get very far.
00:18:17Production stories
00:18:18embarrass me so much.
00:18:24Let me see it.
00:18:25It's broken.
00:18:26I know it.
00:18:27Well, we won't know
00:18:28unless you let me look.
00:18:30Hmm.
00:18:33What do you think?
00:18:36I don't think it's broken.
00:18:37I think you're gonna be just fine.
00:18:42You're always taking care of me.
00:18:45Well, someone has to.
00:18:47You always get yourself
00:18:48into trouble.
00:18:50Why are you always
00:18:51the one who has my back?
00:18:52I guess...
00:18:54you mean a lot to me.
00:18:56That's why I'm here.
00:18:57You're sure it's not
00:18:58just because you like control?
00:19:00I might be a control freak,
00:19:01but that's not why I stick around.
00:19:06Then why do you?
00:19:08Ethan?
00:19:20We can't.
00:19:24We can't.
00:19:26Why not?
00:19:29We can't.
00:19:31Friends don't do this
00:19:32versus this.
00:19:34I didn't realize friendship
00:19:35had so many rules.
00:19:37Hey, you're...
00:19:38you're a loopy,
00:19:39and I'm tipsy.
00:19:42How many of those pills
00:19:43did you even take?
00:19:44I don't know.
00:19:45Maybe two?
00:19:47Why should I take more?
00:19:51The dosage is one.
00:19:53You're high off your ass
00:19:54right now.
00:19:57Okay.
00:19:59Alright.
00:20:01Now time to get to sleep
00:20:02before anything gets too crazy.
00:20:04What's so wrong with
00:20:05things getting out of hand?
00:20:06Come on, live a little.
00:20:07Alright.
00:20:09Good night, Ethan.
00:20:11Worked out fine.
00:20:22Oh my god, Niall!
00:20:25I didn't even know
00:20:26this got leaked.
00:20:27Seems to be an ongoing
00:20:28trend with Nialls.
00:20:32Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
00:20:33Oh, real warm reception.
00:20:35What's the deal?
00:20:37No, whatever.
00:20:38Can we just go grab
00:20:39something to eat?
00:20:40Nialls,
00:20:41I'm going to have to
00:20:42let you go.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:46You're a liability.
00:20:48You're joking,
00:20:49right?
00:20:50You hit me in the face.
00:20:51I would have hit
00:20:52anyone in the face
00:20:53if it wasn't because
00:20:54it was you.
00:20:55I was in the moment.
00:20:56That's almost worse.
00:20:58Way worse.
00:20:59No, this is bullshit.
00:21:00Okay, I hired you
00:21:01as my publicist
00:21:02to deal with this.
00:21:03Okay?
00:21:04So make it go away.
00:21:06I'm a publicist to the stars.
00:21:08I get clients brand deals
00:21:09and magazine covers.
00:21:11I make them movie stars.
00:21:12I can't make criminals
00:21:13look good.
00:21:14This is so unfair.
00:21:15Ethan,
00:21:16tell her she's being insane.
00:21:18I'm dropping you too, Nialls.
00:21:20The studio pulled out
00:21:21of your three-picture deal.
00:21:22No one wants to work
00:21:23with a serial assaulter.
00:21:24No, fuck this.
00:21:25Fuck you
00:21:26and fuck you too.
00:21:28Okay, you're going to
00:21:29pay for this, I swear.
00:21:34Well,
00:21:35he took that one.
00:21:37Yeah, he's going to pay
00:21:38for my nose job
00:21:39if this doesn't heal right.
00:21:42Your nose is fine.
00:21:44Perfect, Ethan.
00:21:46Mind dropping me
00:21:47at the office?
00:21:48You have a card.
00:21:50I'm all hopped up
00:21:51on pain medication.
00:21:52Trust me, you don't want
00:21:53me to drop you.
00:21:54Okay.
00:21:59Are you sure
00:22:00you're good to go in?
00:22:02I am more than good.
00:22:03I am
00:22:04incredible.
00:22:07Hey, seriously,
00:22:08how am I going to explain
00:22:09this to the team?
00:22:10Tell them you found
00:22:11an action star.
00:22:12They'll understand.
00:22:14That's actually
00:22:15a really badass
00:22:16thing to say.
00:22:22It's not my problem
00:22:23anymore.
00:22:30This is Brooke.
00:22:31You might hold
00:22:32all the power
00:22:33in Hollywood right now,
00:22:34but I'm coming
00:22:35for you,
00:22:36Brooke Harrington.
00:22:40Who is this?
00:22:42Someone who could
00:22:43make your life
00:22:44a lot more difficult
00:22:45if you don't start
00:22:46to play nice.
00:22:47Someone who could
00:22:48make your life
00:22:49a lot more difficult
00:22:50if you don't start
00:22:51to play nice.
00:23:00Oh, Sophie.
00:23:01Hi.
00:23:02It's you.
00:23:03What's up?
00:23:04I had the best
00:23:05night with Dylan.
00:23:06He is so charming.
00:23:07We really clicked.
00:23:08You were so right.
00:23:09That's good.
00:23:10I told you so.
00:23:11Yeah, but
00:23:12there's one thing
00:23:13he really thought.
00:23:14He kept bringing
00:23:15you up.
00:23:16Me?
00:23:17Why?
00:23:18Don't know.
00:23:19It just felt like
00:23:20maybe there was
00:23:21something between you.
00:23:22Dylan and I?
00:23:23No, no, no.
00:23:24He's nothing more
00:23:25than a client.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:27I just didn't want
00:23:28to step on any toes.
00:23:29I really like him.
00:23:30You're good.
00:23:31He's all yours.
00:23:32Great.
00:23:33Are we still going
00:23:34to the launch party
00:23:35tonight?
00:23:36Um,
00:23:37I think I'm just
00:23:38going to sit
00:23:39this one out.
00:23:40It's been a lot lately.
00:23:41Saw Niall's mugshot.
00:23:42Not his most flattering
00:23:43look.
00:23:44Definitely not.
00:23:46Can I bring Dylan
00:23:47as my plus one?
00:23:48Uh, yeah.
00:23:49That's a good idea.
00:23:51Uh,
00:23:52you guys should
00:23:53walk the carpet together.
00:23:54So soon?
00:23:55Everyone does it.
00:23:56It's hard.
00:23:57You are the best, Brooke.
00:24:06Brooke, you came.
00:24:07This is crazy.
00:24:09I can't believe
00:24:10you booked this movie.
00:24:11Well, they had
00:24:12another actress,
00:24:13but she had a total meltdown
00:24:14so Dylan just threw
00:24:15my name into the ring
00:24:16and they booked me.
00:24:18Why are you thanking me?
00:24:19Well, if I would have
00:24:20never met Dylan,
00:24:21then I would have
00:24:22never booked this movie.
00:24:23You're basically
00:24:24better than my agent.
00:24:25I'll have to agree
00:24:26with you on that one.
00:24:29Speaking of agents.
00:24:31Um,
00:24:32Ethan reps
00:24:33Dylan Parker.
00:24:34You two seem to be
00:24:35spending a lot of time
00:24:36together recently.
00:24:37What's up?
00:24:38Just work.
00:24:39The usual.
00:24:40Dealing with Niall's stuff.
00:24:41You know how it is.
00:24:42Just work.
00:24:43He's cute though.
00:24:45I'm serious.
00:24:46It's nothing more than that.
00:24:48He's like my oldest friend.
00:24:49Whatever you say.
00:24:50But you have to
00:24:51introduce me to him soon.
00:24:52I need a new agent
00:24:53and I've heard
00:24:54great things about him.
00:24:55He is the greatest.
00:24:56Anyway,
00:24:57I have to get
00:24:58to my wardrobe trailer.
00:24:59Wish me luck.
00:25:00You are going to do great.
00:25:05You finally showed up.
00:25:07Well, I'm
00:25:08going to miss it all.
00:25:09How's it going?
00:25:11It depends.
00:25:12You come here to check on
00:25:13Sophie or me.
00:25:15It better be me.
00:25:19Well,
00:25:20of course.
00:25:21How's set?
00:25:22Well, you know,
00:25:23the usual.
00:25:24Long hours,
00:25:25a lot of takes.
00:25:26But Sophie,
00:25:27she is just,
00:25:28she is killing it.
00:25:29I mean,
00:25:30if her looks aren't
00:25:31going to make her a star,
00:25:32her acting definitely would.
00:25:33I always knew
00:25:34she had it in her.
00:25:35I've been chatting
00:25:36with some of the producers
00:25:37and they're buzzing
00:25:38about the early dailies.
00:25:39Sophie's performance
00:25:40is top notch.
00:25:41You should take her on
00:25:42because her agent sucks.
00:25:43Well, it seems like
00:25:44you just want to share
00:25:45all your clients with me,
00:25:46don't you?
00:25:48You know,
00:25:49between you and me,
00:25:50you're the real
00:25:51secret weapon here, bro.
00:25:54I didn't know
00:25:55I was directing this film.
00:25:56You might as well be.
00:25:57You know you could
00:25:58be in charge of this.
00:25:59All right,
00:26:00well, if you're going
00:26:01to take all the credit,
00:26:02I'm going to go make some calls,
00:26:03but don't let this guy
00:26:04sweet talk you too much,
00:26:05all right?
00:26:06Yeah,
00:26:07I did
00:26:08want to chat with you,
00:26:10learn some things by you,
00:26:11some PR stuff,
00:26:12alone.
00:26:17Um,
00:26:18I'm kind of busy right now,
00:26:19but what did you have in mind?
00:26:20Yeah, um,
00:26:21I mean,
00:26:22the PR strategy is good.
00:26:23I just feel like
00:26:24I could use a little more
00:26:25personal attention.
00:26:27You have weekly check-ins
00:26:28on a full day.
00:26:29What more do you want?
00:26:30I mean,
00:26:31we need some one-on-one time
00:26:32together.
00:26:33I mean,
00:26:34you are impressive
00:26:35and like
00:26:36beyond hot,
00:26:37Rookie.
00:26:38Um,
00:26:39Dylan,
00:26:40let's focus on your career.
00:26:42That's what we're here for,
00:26:43right?
00:26:44I think we could make
00:26:45magic together.
00:26:47Don't you?
00:26:52I need this.
00:26:54Call me.
00:26:58Who is this?
00:26:59Have you realized
00:27:00your wrongs?
00:27:05Wrongs?
00:27:06What,
00:27:07what are you talking about?
00:27:09The sooner you bring
00:27:10Niles Gilmore back to glory,
00:27:12the safer you'll be.
00:27:14Niles, is this you?
00:27:16Look,
00:27:17I'm not bringing you back on
00:27:18as a client.
00:27:19This isn't Niles.
00:27:20Niles,
00:27:21that's exactly what you would say
00:27:22if it was you.
00:27:23This isn't fucking Niles.
00:27:25Then who are you?
00:27:27Someone who would do
00:27:28anything for Niles Gilmore.
00:27:30And I won't stop
00:27:31until you pay for his downfall.
00:27:36Hey,
00:27:37have you been getting
00:27:38weird phone calls?
00:27:40No, just the regular actors
00:27:42being desperate and trying
00:27:43to become movie stars.
00:27:44Why, what's wrong?
00:27:48Psycho fan is trying
00:27:49to get back at me
00:27:50for firing Niles.
00:27:51Back at you?
00:27:52How?
00:27:53I don't know yet.
00:27:54They're being really vague
00:27:55and it's really annoying.
00:27:57Just block their number.
00:27:58I tried,
00:27:59and then they called me back
00:28:00on a new one.
00:28:01You actually seem
00:28:02kind of worried.
00:28:03Do you want me to do
00:28:04something about it?
00:28:07What exactly are you
00:28:08going to do, Ethan?
00:28:09Hey,
00:28:10I'm a big, strong guy.
00:28:13I can beat him up
00:28:14or give him a chokehold.
00:28:17You're acting like
00:28:18I didn't just watch
00:28:19Niles Gilmore kick your ass
00:28:20the other night.
00:28:21No, I think you're
00:28:22thinking of someone else.
00:28:24Yeah, that's right.
00:28:26Want me to hang out
00:28:27with you for the day?
00:28:28Keep you company?
00:28:29Let's see.
00:28:33No, I have to get downtown
00:28:34for a magazine cover shoot
00:28:37but I'll let you know
00:28:38if I get any more
00:28:39creepy calls.
00:28:43You're going to be okay.
00:28:44Just call me
00:28:45if you need anything else, okay?
00:28:46I forgot you were a hugger.
00:28:49Thanks, though.
00:28:57Sex!
00:28:58You're a gimme sexy,
00:28:59sexy man!
00:29:02Look,
00:29:03the camera's appointed
00:29:04to here.
00:29:07How's everything going?
00:29:09Not well.
00:29:10They're not interested
00:29:11in the new Liam Sterling.
00:29:12All they want is a sexy,
00:29:13sexy man.
00:29:14It's okay,
00:29:15I'll take care of this.
00:29:18Hi, Enzo.
00:29:20I'm Brooke,
00:29:21Liam's publicist.
00:29:22Hmm.
00:29:23So, we're going for
00:29:25a new direction with Liam.
00:29:27More serious,
00:29:28less sexy.
00:29:29So, why don't we try this?
00:29:31The magazine wants
00:29:33a sexy, shirtless, sweaty,
00:29:35sensual...
00:29:36Unfortunately,
00:29:37that is not what I agreed upon
00:29:38with the creative team.
00:29:39So,
00:29:40we're either going to have to
00:29:42use the suit,
00:29:43or you're going to have to
00:29:44find a different cover star.
00:29:45At the last minute!
00:29:47This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
00:29:49Ah, cazzo!
00:29:51Fine!
00:29:52Suit, change, hurry!
00:29:55Mamma mia!
00:30:00Ben fatto!
00:30:03Bravissimo!
00:30:06This is way cool.
00:30:07So fun to see him in the zone.
00:30:09Wait, what are you doing here?
00:30:11He invited me to see him in action.
00:30:12Did he really?
00:30:14That's so sweet of him.
00:30:16He really is a sweetheart.
00:30:17It's not often you meet a guy that handsome
00:30:19that isn't also a total douchebag.
00:30:21That's definitely rare in I.
00:30:25Okay!
00:30:26Great job!
00:30:27We got the shot!
00:30:28Bravo!
00:30:30Made it.
00:30:31Thanks for having me.
00:30:32You were great out there.
00:30:37The suit worked out nicely.
00:30:40Yeah.
00:30:41Thanks again for that.
00:30:42I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:30:44Neither do I.
00:30:45What time is the dinner?
00:30:47Dinner?
00:30:51Yeah, um, it's at seven.
00:30:53We're going to go check out
00:30:54the new sushi spot on Sunset.
00:30:55I heard the sashimi is to die for.
00:30:57Liam got us reservations.
00:30:59Super cool.
00:31:00That sounds fun.
00:31:01Right?
00:31:02Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
00:31:04Liam is amazing.
00:31:06Of course.
00:31:07That's my job.
00:31:08You guys have fun.
00:31:10Sashimi!
00:31:11Thanks, girl.
00:31:16What the hell are you doing?
00:31:18He's your client.
00:31:20You don't like him.
00:31:22You're a professional.
00:31:24Stop.
00:31:33You're a strong, independent woman.
00:31:37You don't need him.
00:31:42Good morning, Brooke.
00:31:43You have back-to-back meetings today,
00:31:45and Liam Sterling's on the line.
00:31:46He said it's urgent.
00:31:48Um, can you tell him I'll call him back?
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:53We position Liam as a modern,
00:31:55thoughtful, leading man.
00:31:57He's pushed past this heartthrob phase,
00:31:59and now we need to highlight his depth.
00:32:01His next role will be key
00:32:03in redefining his public image.
00:32:05I like it, but don't you think
00:32:07this shift is too sudden?
00:32:09His fan base may not be ready.
00:32:11They want abs.
00:32:13Um...
00:32:15Don't worry.
00:32:17I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:32:20Don't worry.
00:32:22I have a plan for that.
00:32:24As you can see here...
00:32:31There you are.
00:32:32I've been trying to reach you all day.
00:32:37Um, I've been in meetings.
00:32:40What are you doing in my office?
00:32:42Mark, I...
00:32:44Brooke, I needed to see you.
00:32:46We have to talk about the other thing.
00:32:49Liam, we can't.
00:32:51Not now.
00:32:55We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
00:33:09Okay.
00:33:11The other day was intense, but
00:33:13we need to keep things professional.
00:33:15You have a rebrand to focus on,
00:33:17and I have a company to run.
00:33:19I just don't want things to be weird between us.
00:33:21And I don't want that either.
00:33:23But we need to cool it
00:33:25for both of our sakes.
00:33:37So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
00:33:39We're hard-launching on social media.
00:33:41That's great, Soph.
00:33:43You seem happy.
00:33:45Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
00:33:47People are saying you and Liam Sterling
00:33:49are a thing.
00:33:55Me and Liam?
00:33:57What?
00:33:59You know how people talk. I told them it's ridiculous,
00:34:01but you two do spend a lot of time together.
00:34:03Liam is just a client, nothing else.
00:34:05Right.
00:34:07LA people love to gossip.
00:34:09Anyway, I think Dylan is really serious about us.
00:34:15Who is that?
00:34:17Just work.
00:34:19Always something.
00:34:21You're still coming to set tonight, right?
00:34:23I have that huge scene.
00:34:25I wouldn't miss it.
00:34:45Hey!
00:34:47You want some of this?
00:34:51Cut!
00:34:55Dylan, I said cut!
00:34:57Stop punching!
00:35:01I didn't even realize
00:35:03Lena was directing this film.
00:35:05Brooke, she's not even your client.
00:35:07It's hard to keep a relationship going.
00:35:09I know.
00:35:11Brooke, she's not even your client.
00:35:13It's hard to keep a relationship going.
00:35:15Are you okay?
00:35:17You're not your usual
00:35:19obnoxiously organized self lately.
00:35:23Okay, I'm going to tell you this just because
00:35:25I trust you not to repeat it,
00:35:27but I am beyond
00:35:29overwhelmed.
00:35:31Did you get any word on those weird calls?
00:35:33Yeah, I got a message today and
00:35:35that on top of work
00:35:37and some other stuff that I'm
00:35:39dealing with.
00:35:41Just...
00:35:43I think you should get some rest.
00:35:45I can't. I promised Sophie I'd stay for her
00:35:47scenes. She's nervous.
00:35:51She's lucky to have you.
00:35:53She's like a little sister
00:35:55to me.
00:35:57Plus, if I left now, I wouldn't get any sleep.
00:35:59Anyway, so...
00:36:01Do you want me to stay over?
00:36:03Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone.
00:36:05Like a sleepover.
00:36:07That actually sounds really nice, Ethan.
00:36:09Thanks.
00:36:11I owe you.
00:36:13Moving on to the next scene.
00:36:23Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:36:25It's a woman's dressing room.
00:36:27You know what I'm doing.
00:36:31I literally don't.
00:36:33You know you want some of this.
00:36:35Don't pretend anymore.
00:36:37You want some Dylan
00:36:39fucking Parker.
00:36:41No!
00:36:43Ew!
00:36:45I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
00:36:47You're my client. I'm your publicist.
00:36:49Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
00:36:51Yeah.
00:36:53She's chill as fuck.
00:36:55Then act like it.
00:36:57Because she really likes you.
00:36:59And if you're not serious about her, it's gonna hurt.
00:37:01I'm only dating her for the publicity.
00:37:03I'm gonna drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out
00:37:05and then you and I can finally be together.
00:37:07You and I?
00:37:11We are never going to be together.
00:37:13I'm not even remotely interested in you.
00:37:15If you try this shit again,
00:37:17I'm dropping you as a client.
00:37:21Motherfucker.
00:37:23What the fuck, babe?
00:37:29Did you see that? This scene was so much fun.
00:37:31Um, is everything okay?
00:37:33I'm just
00:37:35not feeling too well.
00:37:37Oh, no. I hope you're not coming down to something.
00:37:39Um, probably just overworked.
00:37:41Well, go home. Get some rest.
00:37:43Are you sure?
00:37:45I'm positive. I really appreciate you coming,
00:37:47but I need you well-rested
00:37:49so that we can party this weekend, okay?
00:37:51Okay, fair. But do you have a ride home?
00:37:53Dylan's driving me.
00:37:55I'll see you.
00:37:57Ready to get out of here?
00:37:59Beyond ready.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:11I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
00:38:17Alright.
00:38:19The windows and doors are locked
00:38:21and the alarm system's on.
00:38:23Thanks for checking.
00:38:25You're safe.
00:38:27Of course, leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank
00:38:29or
00:38:31it's Niles being childish again.
00:38:33You really think so?
00:38:35I do.
00:38:37But it's okay to be scared.
00:38:39I'm here for you.
00:38:43I don't know how much you mean to me.
00:38:45Alright. Goodnight.
00:38:47Can you please sleep here with me?
00:38:49You sure?
00:38:51Positive.
00:38:53Okay.
00:39:09Can't sleep?
00:39:11No.
00:39:13You either?
00:39:17There's something that's been on my mind.
00:39:19There's something I've been wanting to do.
00:39:23What?
00:39:31I've wanted this for so long.
00:39:35Me too.
00:39:37More than anything.
00:39:53I love you.
00:40:23Good morning.
00:40:25Made the coffee unbearably strong
00:40:27just the way you like it.
00:40:29Amazing.
00:40:31So you feeling better now?
00:40:33Huh?
00:40:35After what?
00:40:37From a full night's sleep?
00:40:39Oh, yeah. I slept great.
00:40:41Thanks for staying with me.
00:40:43I finally felt a little safe.
00:40:45No problem.
00:40:47Plus your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
00:40:49That's sad, Ethan.
00:40:51Hey, uh,
00:40:53mind if I shower real quick before work?
00:40:55Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
00:40:57Cool.
00:40:59Ethan?
00:41:01You need a towel.
00:41:09Mom, I forgot to tell you.
00:41:11I'm sorry.
00:41:19Oh, wait. I just tucked the towel somewhere.
00:41:21Thanks.
00:41:23Wanna jump in with me?
00:41:25Shut up, babe.
00:41:29Um, I should probably go get that.
00:41:31Want me to check it out?
00:41:33No, no, it's okay. You shower.
00:41:35I'll be quick.
00:41:41Mom?
00:41:43Liam, what are you doing here?
00:41:45You've been ignoring my calls.
00:41:47We're supposed to be distancing.
00:41:49I'm over that.
00:41:51Look, can I come inside?
00:41:53No.
00:41:55No, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:41:57You're being really weird.
00:41:59No, I'm being cautious, okay?
00:42:01People can't see us together.
00:42:03There's already rumors swirling.
00:42:05So let rumors be rumors,
00:42:07especially if they're true.
00:42:09No one has to know that.
00:42:11So what if we're attracted to each other?
00:42:13So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
00:42:15I don't care, all right?
00:42:17I like being around you,
00:42:19and I want to explore our connection.
00:42:23I can't do this.
00:42:25Brooke, come on, wait.
00:42:33Your shower head's incredible.
00:42:35I've got to guarantee your design will be a hit.
00:42:37Yeah, they're great.
00:42:39I'll get it to you.
00:42:41Who's at the door?
00:42:43Um...
00:42:45Just some girls selling cookies.
00:42:49Do you want to get breakfast?
00:42:51No, I'm just going to head to the office early.
00:42:53You never turned down breakfast.
00:42:55I'm just not hungry.
00:42:57See you later.
00:43:07So why'd you call me here?
00:43:09You want to offer me representation again?
00:43:11I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
00:43:13I want to know why you're leaving me
00:43:15these insane messages.
00:43:21This isn't for me.
00:43:23Don't bullshit us, Niles.
00:43:25Tell the truth.
00:43:27I won't be mad.
00:43:29I didn't send you this.
00:43:31What about the creepy voice calls?
00:43:33The voice changer didn't...
00:43:35Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
00:43:37Why don't you just admit it?
00:43:39Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you,
00:43:41but I have a business to run, okay?
00:43:43Did you do this or not?
00:43:45Brooke,
00:43:47let me tell you something.
00:43:49I have court dates, no movie deals,
00:43:51and two excessively large mansions
00:43:53that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for
00:43:55to keep out of foreclosure.
00:43:57So no, I didn't have time to deliver pranks
00:43:59that you're dealing with.
00:44:01Okay.
00:44:03I do.
00:44:05So can I go?
00:44:07Or are you going to try to accuse me of something else I didn't do?
00:44:09No, you can go.
00:44:11Sorry.
00:44:15We should call the cops, right?
00:44:17Get an investigation going?
00:44:19No, not yet. Thanks, partner.
00:44:27The customer you're trying to reach
00:44:29is not available.
00:44:31Please call back.
00:44:35Hi.
00:44:37I questioned Niles.
00:44:39Please call me ASAP.
00:44:51Sophie, what's going on?
00:44:53I got your text. What's the emergency?
00:44:55He broke up with me, Brooke.
00:44:57What?
00:44:59When? When did this happen?
00:45:01After our last scene.
00:45:03He said it was because of you
00:45:05that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
00:45:07What?
00:45:09I would never say that.
00:45:11He's lying.
00:45:13Then why would he blame you?
00:45:15I don't know. I guess he's using me as an excuse.
00:45:17I feel so stupid.
00:45:19I really liked him.
00:45:21We even got these matching bracelets.
00:45:23You're not stupid, okay?
00:45:25Dylan messed up.
00:45:27You deserve better.
00:45:29Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
00:45:31I swear, okay?
00:45:33He's just avoiding accountability. He's a douche.
00:45:35How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
00:45:39Sophie.
00:45:41You're a professional.
00:45:43Don't let him ruin this for you.
00:45:45You're right. Yeah.
00:45:47Okay.
00:45:49One second.
00:45:51One second.
00:45:53It's Ethan.
00:45:57Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:45:59Sophie and I have a meeting.
00:46:01You haven't been answering any of my calls.
00:46:03Busy day.
00:46:05Sophie.
00:46:07What's wrong?
00:46:09Are you okay?
00:46:11Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
00:46:13I'm so sorry to hear that.
00:46:15Do you want to reschedule the meeting? Because I totally understand.
00:46:17No, no, no. Absolutely not.
00:46:19I'm waiting to talk to you.
00:46:21Great. So am I.
00:46:23Um...
00:46:25Brooke, I will see you
00:46:27after I wrap here tonight.
00:46:29Can you just shut the door on your way out?
00:46:31Yeah, sure.
00:46:33Um...
00:46:35Ethan, call me back whenever you can, okay?
00:46:37It's really important.
00:46:39Yeah, okay.
00:46:49What's good? It's a big deal.
00:46:51Damn. You fucking liar.
00:46:53What are you talking about?
00:46:55Why the hell did you lie to her?
00:46:57You made it very clear
00:46:59that you were never going to sleep with me.
00:47:01I was only dating her to get close to you.
00:47:03You're disgusting.
00:47:05I'll make sure your career crashes and burns
00:47:07if you don't admit that you lied to her.
00:47:09I didn't lie to her.
00:47:11Okay. I lied.
00:47:13I lied. I'm sorry.
00:47:15I'll apologize to her tonight, okay?
00:47:17You trying to kill my star?
00:47:19He's a fool when stars clatter.
00:47:21Can we talk?
00:47:23In private?
00:47:29Wow, nice office.
00:47:31Sit down.
00:47:33Lena, what's wrong?
00:47:35Did something happen on set?
00:47:37You tell me. Because from where I'm standing,
00:47:39something's definitely going on,
00:47:41just not on my set.
00:47:43I don't understand.
00:47:45About you and Liam?
00:47:47You introduced us,
00:47:49pushed us together,
00:47:51and all the while you were sleeping with him?
00:47:53No, it's not like that.
00:47:55Bullshit! Everyone's talking about it.
00:47:57You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
00:47:59You think I'm dumb?
00:48:01Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
00:48:03There is something going on between us,
00:48:05but...
00:48:07What? You didn't expect to fall into his bed?
00:48:09You set us up like pawns in your game,
00:48:11and now you want him for yourself?
00:48:13I wanted you two to be happy.
00:48:15You don't care about me.
00:48:17You only care about your selfish matchmaking games.
00:48:19You didn't care what this would do to me.
00:48:21That's not true, Lena.
00:48:25I'm sorry.
00:48:27You're sorry you got caught.
00:48:29Luckily, I'm over him.
00:48:31He really is just a shallow pretty boy,
00:48:33even with your shitty PR memory.
00:48:35We're done. Get out.
00:48:43Okay.
00:49:03Um, Sophie, I said seven.
00:49:05It's almost eight.
00:49:07Sorry, we got distracted.
00:49:09Is that so?
00:49:11Did you tell Brooke about the story of your dog
00:49:13in the summer house?
00:49:15You mean my dog eating the lasagna
00:49:17that his mom made for dinner?
00:49:19I know that one.
00:49:21I was there.
00:49:27Hey, can you go stir the pot on the stove?
00:49:29I have to talk to Ethan about a shared client.
00:49:31You made dinner?
00:49:33On it.
00:49:35Um, so I talked to Niles,
00:49:37and he swear it wasn't him.
00:49:39I don't know if we should believe him,
00:49:41but I mean, I kind of believe him
00:49:43because I have other suspects in mind.
00:49:45What do you think?
00:49:47I don't know, Brooke.
00:49:49Some people are good liars,
00:49:51even those you wouldn't expect.
00:49:53Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
00:49:55No, he's not, but clearly you are.
00:49:57What are you talking about?
00:49:59I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
00:50:01I'm just dropping off Soph.
00:50:03Soph?
00:50:05Since when do you two do nicknames?
00:50:07He sees you? What does that even mean?
00:50:09Hi.
00:50:17I was just stirring and all of a sudden this flew through the window.
00:50:19It wasn't me, I swear.
00:50:21What is it?
00:50:27I knew it.
00:50:29Knew what?
00:50:31What are you talking about?
00:50:33Oh my god.
00:50:37I want to see.
00:50:41Holy shit, Brooke.
00:50:43I lied.
00:50:45You lied to me about the rumors. You said it was nothing.
00:50:49I didn't mean to. I wasn't trying to lie to you.
00:50:51You weren't trying to lie to me.
00:50:53We're supposed to tell each other everything.
00:50:55We're best friends.
00:50:57I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
00:50:59So what was I, Brooke?
00:51:01Just a backup?
00:51:03Someone to keep around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
00:51:05It wasn't like that.
00:51:07You knew exactly what you were doing.
00:51:09I thought we were finally
00:51:11going to admit how we felt about each other
00:51:13more than friends.
00:51:17Ethan.
00:51:19I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:51:21You hurt us both, Brooke.
00:51:23I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
00:51:25I know.
00:51:27I just didn't want it to be real.
00:51:29I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
00:51:31Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
00:51:33I thought we had something, Brooke.
00:51:35Can't you feel it, too?
00:51:37Brooke, you need to figure out what you want.
00:51:39You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
00:51:41They're not a game,
00:51:43no matter how much you'd like them to be.
00:51:47I deserve better than this, Brooke.
00:51:49Ethan, I don't understand.
00:51:51I thought we were just friends. I didn't...
00:51:53Bullshit.
00:51:55After all these years,
00:51:57I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
00:51:59You are special to me.
00:52:01Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
00:52:03Ethan, wait.
00:52:05Save it, Brooke.
00:52:17Oh, no!
00:52:19Did I break it up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
00:52:21Are you happy now?
00:52:23Not even close. You'll pay it.
00:52:25Go to hell.
00:52:27I said go to hell!
00:52:31Whoa, wait. What did I do?
00:52:33Liam?
00:52:35I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
00:52:37Look, can I come over?
00:52:39I want to see you.
00:52:43Fine.
00:52:47Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
00:52:49It's not a rumor if it's true.
00:52:51It's a shame things between us
00:52:53had to cause so much drama.
00:52:55It's crazy.
00:52:57I can craft and control all of my clients
00:52:59with public images.
00:53:01Spin any story around.
00:53:03Make bad press good.
00:53:05Shape the way Hollywood sees them.
00:53:07But when it comes to
00:53:09people I actually care about,
00:53:11I'm powerless.
00:53:13I have this
00:53:15wall over everything.
00:53:17Everything's controlled.
00:53:19It looks easily managed.
00:53:21But no, in reality,
00:53:23it's such a mess.
00:53:25I spent so long
00:53:27creating these perfect lives
00:53:29for everyone else.
00:53:31I think it's just time
00:53:33for me to be honest about mine.
00:53:35You know, you can control everybody else's image.
00:53:37But when it comes to your own life,
00:53:39sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
00:53:41I should have understood the consequences
00:53:43for everyone.
00:53:45For you.
00:53:47For Lena.
00:53:49For Ethan.
00:53:51You know, Ethan's not
00:53:53totally innocent in all this either.
00:53:55He's been keeping things bottled up
00:53:57for way too long.
00:53:59I should have just been honest with him.
00:54:01Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
00:54:03You won't lose me.
00:54:05To be determined.
00:54:07Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
00:54:09Just let things happen naturally.
00:54:17Liam, I'm sorry.
00:54:19You love Ethan?
00:54:21Yeah.
00:54:23I do.
00:54:25I understand.
00:54:27And for what it's worth,
00:54:29I think you should go get what you want.
00:54:31You're not upset?
00:54:33I am.
00:54:35But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
00:54:45Hi, Ethan.
00:54:47Surprise, Brooke.
00:54:49It's you.
00:54:51Where's Ethan?
00:54:53Ethan and Sophie are with me. Let's just say they're safe for now.
00:54:55You have Sophie too?
00:54:57Where are you?
00:54:59Oh, you'll know soon enough.
00:55:01But here's the thing. If you want to see them again,
00:55:03play by my rules.
00:55:05I'll do anything.
00:55:07Check your texts.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:13I'll drive.
00:55:17Wait.
00:55:19If things get out of control,
00:55:21you need to run, okay?
00:55:23This doesn't involve you.
00:55:25I'm not leaving your side.
00:55:27Okay.
00:55:31Hello?
00:55:39Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
00:55:41I'm so glad you could make it.
00:55:43Let them in.
00:55:45I'm so glad you could make it.
00:55:47Let them go.
00:55:49Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
00:55:51I'll make a great addition to my kill team.
00:55:53No one's getting killed tonight.
00:55:57No!
00:55:59Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
00:56:09Niles,
00:56:11you swore that it wasn't you.
00:56:13You're a fucking actor.
00:56:15All we do is lie.
00:56:17You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power,
00:56:19you really are just another stupid, stupid
00:56:21Hollywood girl.
00:56:23You're insane.
00:56:25Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
00:56:27What do I want?
00:56:29I want you all to feel like I felt
00:56:31when I was betrayed.
00:56:35You think you're untouchable.
00:56:37PR queen.
00:56:39Always in control.
00:56:41You're just like the rest of us.
00:56:43Disposable.
00:56:45This is all because of your stupid ego.
00:56:47Ego?
00:56:49No.
00:56:51Brooke, this is about you.
00:56:53Your company. Liam.
00:56:55Sophie. Ethan.
00:56:57They stole your attention
00:56:59from me.
00:57:01But I'm taking it back.
00:57:03You're wrong, Niles.
00:57:05PR isn't about power. It's about helping people.
00:57:07And I tried to help you,
00:57:09but you're Beyoncé.
00:57:11Help? Brooke, be honest with yourself.
00:57:13It's about
00:57:15control. Bending people
00:57:17to your will.
00:57:19Do you really think
00:57:21that you can play puppet master forever?
00:57:31You're quick.
00:57:33Come to help.
00:57:35I don't think so.
00:57:45Show's over, Niles.
00:57:47I'm a fucking movie star.
00:57:49You can't kill me.
00:57:51I'm in control.
00:58:03Brooke,
00:58:05you really kicked his ass.
00:58:07Oh my god, you fucked him up.
00:58:09Brooke, I'm so sorry.
00:58:11No, this is all my fault.
00:58:13Brooke,
00:58:15I've wasted the last ten years of my life
00:58:17hiding the way I felt about you.
00:58:19I don't want to hide anymore.
00:58:21I'm so desperately in love with you.
00:58:23I don't want to spend another day of my life without you by my side.
00:58:25I will not stop fighting
00:58:27until I win you back from Liam.
00:58:29Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay?
00:58:31I'm in love with you, okay?
00:58:33And I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
00:58:45I love you, Ethan Prescott.
00:58:47I love you, Brooke Harrington.
00:58:51Guys, I'm...
00:58:53I'm still tied up.
00:59:01No, it's cool. I got it.
00:59:03Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
00:59:07Hey, can I ask you something?
00:59:09Anything.
00:59:11I look like really heroic, right?
00:59:13I mean, until I got knocked out.
00:59:15Yes.
00:59:17It was fair.
00:59:21What do you say we get out of here?
00:59:23That sounds like a good idea to me.
00:59:25Um, guys?
00:59:27Where's Niles?
00:59:29He must have ran off.
00:59:31He won't get very far.
00:59:33He's not a very fast runner.
00:59:51You did good, Brooke.
00:59:53Couldn't do it without you.
00:59:55What do you say we take to the carpet dance?
00:59:57I'd go anywhere with you.
