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