00:00No! No! No!
00:02No!
00:04No!
00:06Control.
00:08In this town, it's Oxygen.
00:10Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star
00:12and my top client.
00:14But once he's sober and on time,
00:16I publish his stream.
00:22For a star, padding is everything.
00:26Sophie Miller. Fresh face.
00:28On the verge of something big.
00:30If she makes all the right moves.
00:32Stand tall.
00:34This is your life.
00:40Knowing your handiwork?
00:42Late as usual.
00:44Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:46Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent.
00:48The guy I've known longer than anyone.
00:50Dependable, intelligent,
00:52and annoyingly charming.
00:54Nice dress.
00:56Nice bow tie.
00:58Just needs a little
01:00adjustment here.
01:02How's our golden boy?
01:04Is he behaving himself, or are we in
01:06Frozen's romantics?
01:08He's playing nice.
01:10Give it an hour.
01:14What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:18Or less.
01:22Man, you can't just hit someone!
01:26Whoa!
01:28Niles?
01:30What happened?
01:32This loser shoved this camera in my face.
01:34It's on my bad side. I didn't even touch him.
01:36He's being dramatic.
01:38You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras.
01:40We need to fix this.
01:42Don't say that.
01:46Let's not make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.
01:48We can solve this quietly.
01:50How about a thousand dollars a day?
01:52Zero.
01:54I don't play along with things.
01:56Fine.
01:58You better be good for it,
02:00or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:02It'll be him.
02:04Oh, man! I dropped my camera again!
02:06I'm so clumsy!
02:08Thank you for helping me pick it up,
02:10Niles Gilmore!
02:14So sweet.
02:16Great work, man.
02:24That was impressive.
02:26In Hollywood, connections are currency.
02:28Without me pulling the strings,
02:30even the brightest stars burn out.
02:32But I keep them shining.
02:40Ethan?
02:42What are you doing here?
02:48What are you doing here?
03:14Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:16Slightly, there's a last-minute addition of attention
03:18in a client meeting.
03:20Liam Sterling.
03:22Liam Sterling?
03:24That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:26He's looking to revamp his image.
03:28Interesting.
03:30When does he arrive?
03:46Mr. Sterling,
03:48welcome to Harrington PR.
03:50I am your client.
03:52Call me Liam.
03:58I've heard a lot about you.
04:00I'd say you're the best in the business.
04:02I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do,
04:04but flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:08Discounts?
04:10I don't think so.
04:12Flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:14No discounts necessary.
04:18I'm here because I need a real change.
04:20Go on.
04:22I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless
04:24more than he's acting.
04:26I mean, the heart-rob thing, it's been fun.
04:28But it's not who I am.
04:30I want substance.
04:32Those are the things that really challenge me.
04:34If you're serious about this,
04:36it's not going to be easy.
04:38And it won't happen overnight.
04:40Are you ready for that?
04:42Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:44Alright.
04:46We'll have to change your public persona.
04:48No more sexy magazine covers,
04:50and no more
04:52feeding into that heart-robbing bitch.
04:54We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor,
04:56and you'll have to be selective
04:58about the projects you take.
05:00Taking roles with
05:02depth, range.
05:04That's exactly what I want.
05:06I've been waiting for somebody to tell me
05:08that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com
05:10where I spend more time in the gym
05:12than with a script.
05:14Well, consider those two questions.
05:18But this is a partnership.
05:20You'll have to trust me.
05:22100%.
05:24I trust you, Brooke.
05:28You're the person I've been looking for.
05:32We'll make it happen.
05:34I'm all in.
05:38Brooke?
05:44Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:46You weren't interrupting anything.
05:48Is this your boyfriend?
05:50God, no.
05:52This is my close friend, Ethan.
05:54Nice to meet you.
05:56I'm William Sterling.
05:58I know who you are. I work closely with your agent.
06:00Brought you a coffee. I'll just leave it with Margaret.
06:02Thanks.
06:08He's a nice guy.
06:10You sure he's not your boyfriend?
06:12I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
06:14Oh, Liam. Remember?
06:16Liam.
06:18I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
06:20Um...
06:22I'm sure it will.
06:24I think this is the start
06:26of a beautiful
06:28relationship.
06:38Hello?
06:42Who's there?
06:44I'm armed.
06:50Don't shoot.
06:52Liam?
06:54Thought I'd surprise you.
06:56With...
06:58wine and flowers?
07:00I don't have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:02I mean, I guess...
07:04I don't know.
07:06I mean, I guess
07:08this works.
07:16So...
07:18What's the occasion?
07:22Some say I'm cutthroat.
07:24Do they?
07:26You don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:28Appearances may be deceiving.
07:30And yet...
07:32Here I am with you.
07:34Well, someone's
07:36got to keep you out of trouble.
07:38Maybe.
07:40Or maybe you're just
07:42avoiding what's really going on here.
07:44And what would that be?
07:46When the real chemistry's right here.
07:48Do we not?
07:50I don't know what you're
07:52talking about.
07:54Sure you don't.
07:58This wine is great.
08:00Great taste.
08:02So are we gonna do something about this?
08:04Or are you just gonna sit here enjoying the wine?
08:10Okay.
08:12I'll let you get some rest.
08:14No.
08:16Stay a little longer.
08:20I'll stay as long as you want.
08:32Okay.
08:44This is so unprofessional.
08:46I'm not gonna fire you.
08:48Are you gonna fire me?
08:50No.
08:52Shit.
08:54Shit.
08:58No good morning kiss?
09:00I don't think so.
09:02Come on.
09:06Last night was a mistake.
09:08Fun.
09:10But still a mistake.
09:12Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:14You're my boyfriend.
09:16I'm your girlfriend.
09:18You're my boyfriend.
09:20I don't think I agree.
09:22You're my client.
09:24I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
09:26You know.
09:30You were great last night.
09:34Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:36If anyone caught us, this could
09:38ruin my career, not to mention what it could do
09:40to your rebrand.
09:42Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:44Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:50Everyone else would.
09:52I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
09:56The sooner we move past this,
09:58the sooner that I can get
10:00you and Lena and your career moving forward.
10:02Sound good?
10:08No.
10:10But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:14Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:16Yes.
10:18That's what's best.
10:20Whatever you say.
10:22I'm sorry.
10:24At least we got it out of our systems.
10:26Call you later.
10:42Last night was amazing.
10:44The movie sucked. Aside from my scene,
10:46I met this guy at the afterparty.
10:48He's a bit older. A screenwriter.
10:50Oh, come on.
10:52An old screenwriter?
10:54You are Sophie Miller.
10:56You can do so much better.
10:58I know that look, Brooke.
11:00You're up to something. What makes you think that?
11:02You love playing matchmaker.
11:04Admit it. You're trying to set me up.
11:06Half of Hollywood's power couples
11:08owe their happiness to me.
11:10You can be one of them.
11:12Well, what about you?
11:14When are you going to find your someone?
11:16Oh, I'm happy being single.
11:18Plus, I got enough on my plate
11:20managing everyone else's love lives.
11:22You've never thought about it?
11:28Of course I have.
11:32But then I remember all the drama that comes with it,
11:34and...
11:36I like the way my life is.
11:38Dramatically.
11:40I'm the only person in this town
11:42who doesn't crave drama.
11:44Alright, drama queen.
11:46We have a party to get ready for.
11:54This is quite the party.
11:56One of the best parties we have on set.
11:58I love my job.
12:00So,
12:02who's party is this anyway?
12:04Dylan's.
12:06Dylan Parker's?
12:08You were serious about setting me up.
12:10When do I say anything just for fun?
12:12I thought this would be a good opportunity
12:14for you two to meet.
12:16You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:18Trust me. You'll thank me later.
12:20Hi, Dylan.
12:22Meet Sophie.
12:24Yeah, no, I know Sophie.
12:26You know,
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, Sophie's the real star here.
12:42You guys should get to know each other.
12:44Hi, Sophie.
12:46Let's, uh,
12:48grab a drink? Find a quiet place to chat?
12:50That'd be great.
12:52Ah!
12:54What the?
12:58What the?
13:00Oh my god, your dress!
13:02You bitch!
13:04This dress is sponsored!
13:06Watch where you're walking.
13:08Who the hell are you?
13:10Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:12You better pay for this.
13:14Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single cent.
13:16I'm sorry.
13:18Oh.
13:20I'm sorry.
13:22I'll cover the thing.
13:26Oops!
13:28Accident.
13:30I'm sorry.
13:32Your ugly thrift store dress looks even worse.
13:38I guess some people still haven't learned that
13:40in Hollywood, there are humors everywhere.
13:42Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
13:44I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:46Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
13:48And if anyone's career is getting ruined,
13:50it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
13:52She's an A-list publicist.
13:54Ruining reputations is her job.
13:56So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
14:02Take this.
14:06Um, I didn't expect to see you here.
14:08I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:10You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:14Depends.
14:16A girl who's smart,
14:18strong, independent.
14:20Maybe she runs her own business.
14:22Makes her way around Hollywood.
14:24Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:28Almost impossible.
14:34Actually,
14:36there is someone that you should meet.
14:38Yeah? Who's that?
14:40Lena Turner.
14:42She's one of my clients.
14:44One of the best directors in the business.
14:46I'll introduce you two.
14:48Could be good for you.
14:50Is that so?
14:52Lena, meet Liam Sterling.
14:54Liam Sterling.
14:56It's so great to meet you.
14:58I've admired you and your work for years.
15:00The feeling is mutual.
15:02Congratulations on the horror film.
15:04You two should work together.
15:06We are working on a new direction for Liam.
15:08Something more serious.
15:10That would be amazing.
15:12Thanks for the introduction.
15:14Anytime.
15:20Well,
15:22that was fast.
15:24There's a lot of interaction.
15:28Of course.
15:36Wow.
15:38You look beautiful.
15:40I'm in an office somewhere, working late as usual.
15:42Don't look so bummed.
15:44Agents get invited these things too.
15:46It's not always just the pretty people.
15:48Speaking of pretty people.
15:52You 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
16:02of you and um...
16:04What was it? Liam.
16:06He's just a client, Ethan.
16:10You alright?
16:12Huh?
16:14I asked if you were alright.
16:16Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:18Let's get out of here.
16:20I promised Sophie I'd stay with her.
16:24Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:28Alright, whisk me away then.
16:30That's the spirit.
16:36Who would have thought that ten years later
16:38I knew we would be.
16:40I didn't.
16:42When we came out here right after high school, we had zero plan.
16:44You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:46Hey, don't make fun of me.
16:48You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:50Oh, who could forget?
16:52But...
16:54People change.
16:56They grow up.
16:58I don't think you're that different.
17:00Liar.
17:02Hey, take that back.
17:04Okay? I'm super different.
17:06I still feel the same way
17:08with you
17:10as I did when we were kids.
17:12And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:14Uh...
17:16Um...
17:18Well, you're uh...
17:20You're infuriating.
17:22And...
17:24You're like sunshine all at once.
17:26Oh, fuck you up, bro!
17:32Fuck you up, bro!
17:34That's the movie guy.
17:36Yeah, it's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:38Miles!
17:40Miles, stop!
17:42I won't stop filming!
17:44Move, Lee.
17:46You're gonna get in the way.
17:48Oh my god, are you okay?
17:50Fuck, he got me, huh?
17:52Cops are coming.
17:56Well, he's not gonna get very far.
17:58For action stories, a beer is always so right.
18:04Let me see it.
18:06It's broken. I know it.
18:08Well, we won't know unless you let me look.
18:14What do you think?
18:18I don't think it's broken.
18:20I think you're gonna be just fine.
18:24You're always taking care of me.
18:26Well, someone has to.
18:28You always get yourself into trouble.
18:30Why are you always the one who has my back?
18:32I guess you mean a lot to me.
18:36That's why.
18:38You sure it's not just because you lack control?
18:40I might be a control freak, but that's not why I stick around.
18:46Then why do you?
18:48Ethan?
19:00We can't.
19:04Why not?
19:06We can't.
19:08Friends don't do this for friends.
19:12I didn't realize friendship had so many rules.
19:14Hey, you're...
19:16You're a loopy, and I'm tipsy.
19:20How many of those pills did you even take?
19:22I don't know, maybe two?
19:24Why should I take more?
19:30The dosage is one.
19:32You're high off your ass right now.
19:36Okay.
19:38All right.
19:40Now time to get sleep before anything gets too crazy.
19:44What's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:46Come on, live a little.
19:48All right.
19:50Good night, Ethan.
19:52Worked so fine.
20:00Oh my god, Niles!
20:04I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:06Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:10Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:12Real warm reception.
20:14What's the deal?
20:16Whatever.
20:18Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:20Niles, I'm going to have to let you go.
20:22I'm sorry.
20:24You're a liability.
20:26You're joking, right?
20:28You hit me in the face.
20:30I would have hit anyone in the face.
20:32It wasn't because it was you.
20:34I was in the moment.
20:36That's almost worse.
20:38Way worse.
20:40This is bullshit.
20:42I hired you as my publicist to deal with this.
20:44So make it go away.
20:46I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:48I get clients brand deals and magazine covers.
20:50I make them movie stars.
20:52I can't make criminals look good.
20:54This is so unfair.
20:56Ethan, tell her she's being insane.
20:58I'm dropping you too, Niles.
21:00The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal.
21:02No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:04Now fuck this.
21:06Fuck you and fuck you too.
21:08You're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:14Well,
21:16you took that one.
21:18He's going to pay for my nose job if this doesn't heal right.
21:22Your nose is fine.
21:24Perfect, even.
21:26Mind dropping me at the office?
21:28You have a car.
21:30I'm all hopped up on pain medication.
21:32Trust me, you don't want me driving.
21:34Okay.
21:40Are you sure you're good to go, Evan?
21:42I am more than good.
21:44I am incredible.
21:48Hey, seriously, how am I going to explain this to the team?
21:50Tell them you fought an action star.
21:52They'll understand.
21:54That's actually really badass of you, but...
22:08It's not my problem anymore.
22:16This is Brooke.
22:18You might hold all the power in Hollywood right now,
22:20but I'm coming for you, Brooke Harrington.
22:26Who is this?
22:28Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult
22:30if you don't start to play nice.
22:40Oh, Sophie.
22:42Hi, it's you. What's up?
22:44I had the best night with Dylan.
22:46He is so charming. We really clicked.
22:48Oh, right.
22:50That's good. I told you so.
22:52Yeah, but there's one tiny roof left.
22:54He kept bringing you up.
22:56Me?
22:58Why?
23:00Don't know. It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:02Dylan and I? No, no, no.
23:04He's nothing more than a client.
23:06Okay, I just didn't want to step on any toes.
23:08I really like him.
23:10You're good. He's all yours.
23:12Great.
23:14Are we still going to the launch party tonight?
23:16I think I'm just going to sit this one out.
23:18It's been a lot lately.
23:20Song, Niles mugshot.
23:22Not his most flattering look.
23:24Definitely not.
23:26Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:28Uh, yeah.
23:30That's a good idea.
23:32You guys should walk the carpet together.
23:34So soon?
23:36Everyone does it. It's Hollywood.
23:38You are the best, Brooke.
23:46Brooke, you came.
23:48This is crazy.
23:50I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:52Well, they had another actress, but she had a total meltdown,
23:54so Dylan just threw my name into the ring
23:56and they booked me.
24:00Why are you thanking me?
24:02Well, if I would have never met Dylan, then I would have never booked this movie.
24:04You're basically better than my agent.
24:06I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:10Speaking of agents...
24:12Um, Ethan reps Dylan Parker.
24:14You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:16Is that it?
24:18It's work. The usual.
24:20Dealing with Niles stuff, you know how it is.
24:22Just work.
24:24He's cute, Brooke.
24:26I'm serious.
24:28It's nothing more than that.
24:30He's like my oldest friend.
24:32Whatever you say.
24:34But you have to introduce me to him soon.
24:36I need a new agent and I've heard great things about him.
24:38He is the greatest.
24:40Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer.
24:42I'm going to do great.
24:46You finally showed up.
24:48Well, I don't want to miss it all.
24:50But, how's it going?
24:52It depends. You come here to check on Sophie or me.
24:56It better be me.
25:00Well, of course.
25:02How's set?
25:04Well, you know, the usual. Long hours, a lot of takes.
25:06But Sophie, she is just killing it.
25:08I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star,
25:10her acting definitely would.
25:12I always knew she had it in her.
25:14I've been chatting with some of the producers
25:16and they're buzzing about the early dailies.
25:18Sophie's performance is top notch.
25:20You should take her on as a client, Ethan.
25:22Her agent sucks.
25:24Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me.
25:26Don't you?
25:30Between you and me,
25:32you're the real secret weapon here, Brooke.
25:34I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:36You might as well be.
25:38You know you could be in charge of this.
25:40Alright, well, if you're going to take all the credit,
25:42I'm going to go make some calls.
25:44But don't let this guy sweet-talk you too much, alright?
25:48Yeah, I did want to chat with you.
25:50Run some things by you.
25:52Some PR stuff.
25:54Alone.
25:58I'm kind of busy right now,
26:00but what did you have in mind?
26:02Yeah, I mean, the PR strategy is good.
26:04I just feel like I could use a little more
26:06personal attention.
26:08You have weekly check-ins on a full year,
26:10or more if you want.
26:12You need some one-on-one time to get it.
26:14I mean, you are impressive, and like
26:16beyond hot, Brooke-y.
26:20Dylan, let's focus on your career.
26:22That's what we're here for, right?
26:26I think we could make magic together.
26:28Don't you?
26:30Hi.
26:34Hi, Niles.
26:36Call me.
26:38Who is this?
26:40Have you realized your wrongs?
26:46Wrongs?
26:48What are you talking about?
26:50The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore back to glory,
26:52the safer you'll be.
26:54Niles, is this you?
26:56Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
26:58This isn't Niles.
27:00Niles, that's exactly what you would say
27:02if it was you.
27:04This isn't fucking Niles.
27:06Then who are you?
27:08Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:10And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:16Hey, Dylan.
27:18Have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:20No, just the regular actors
27:22being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:24What's wrong?
27:28Psycho fan is
27:30trying to get back at me for firing Niles.
27:32Back at you? How?
27:34I don't know yet. They're being really vague
27:36and it's really annoying.
27:38Just block their number.
27:40I tried and then they called me back on a new one.
27:42You actually seem kind of weird.
27:44Do you want me to do something about it?
27:48What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:50Hey, I am a big,
27:52strong guy.
27:54I can beat him up or
27:56give him a chokehold or something.
27:58You're acting like I didn't just watch
28:00Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
28:02No, I think you're
28:04thinking of someone else.
28:06Yeah, I'm Frank.
28:08Want me to hang out with you for the day? Keep you company?
28:10Let's see.
28:14No, I have to get downtown
28:16for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:18But I'll let you know if I get any more
28:20creepy calls.
28:22Hey, hey.
28:24You're going to be okay.
28:26Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:28I forgot you were a hugger.
28:30Thanks, though.
28:38Sexier. Give me sexy,
28:40sexy man.
28:44The camera's appointed to here.
28:48How's everything going?
28:50Not well. They're not interested in the new
28:52Liam Sterling. All they want is a sexy, sexy
28:54man. It's okay. I'll take care
28:56of this.
28:58Hi,
29:00Enzo. I'm Brooke.
29:02Liam's publicist.
29:04So, we are going for
29:06a new direction with Liam.
29:08More serious, less sexy.
29:10So, why don't we try this?
29:12The magazine wants
29:14a sexy, shirtless, sweaty,
29:16sensual... Unfortunately,
29:18that is not what I agreed upon with the creative
29:20team. So,
29:22we're either going to have to use the suit,
29:24or you're going to have to find a different cover
29:26star. At the last minute?
29:28This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:30Ah, cazzo.
29:32Fine. Suit, change,
29:34hurry.
29:36Mamma mia.
29:42Ben fatto!
29:44Bravissimo!
29:46This is way
29:48cool. So fun to see him in the zone.
29:50What are you doing here?
29:52He invited me to see him in action.
29:54Did he really?
29:56That's so sweet of him. He really is a
29:58sweetheart. It's not often you meet a guy
30:00that handsome that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:02That's
30:04definitely rare in I.
30:06Okay! Great job!
30:08We got the shot!
30:10Bravo!
30:12I made it.
30:14Thanks for having me. You were great
30:16out there.
30:20The suit worked out nicely.
30:22Yeah.
30:24Thanks again for that. I don't know what I'd do
30:26without you. Neither do I.
30:28What time is the dinner?
30:30Dinner?
30:34Yeah, um, it's at seven.
30:36We're going to go check out the new sushi spot
30:38on Sunset. I heard the sashimi is to die
30:40for. Liam got us reservations.
30:42Super cool.
30:44That sounds fun.
30:46Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
30:48Liam is amazing.
30:50Of course. That's my job.
30:52You guys have fun.
30:54Sashimi!
30:56Thanks, girl.
31:00What the hell are you doing?
31:02He's your client.
31:04You don't like him.
31:06You're a professional.
31:08Stop.
31:12You're a strong,
31:14independent woman.
31:16You don't need him.
31:20Good morning, Brooke.
31:22You have back-to-back meetings today
31:24and Liam Sterling's on the line.
31:26He said it's urgent.
31:28Can you tell him I'll call back?
31:30Yeah.
31:36We position Liam as a modern,
31:38thoughtful,
31:40We position Liam as a modern,
31:42thoughtful, leading man. He's pushed past
31:44this heartthrob phase
31:46and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:48His next role will be key in redefining his
31:50public image. I like it, but
31:52don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:54His fan base may not be ready.
31:56They want apps.
32:00Um,
32:02don't worry. I have a plan
32:04for that. As you can see
32:06here...
32:10There you are.
32:12I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:16Um, I've been
32:18in meetings.
32:20What are you doing in my office?
32:22Margaret,
32:24Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:26We have to talk about the other thing.
32:28Liam, we can't.
32:30Not now.
32:34We can't just ignore the chemistry
32:36between us.
32:38Okay.
32:50Okay.
32:52The other day was intense, but
32:54we need to keep things professional.
32:56You have a rebrand to focus on and I
32:58have a company to run.
33:00I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:02And I don't want that either.
33:04But we need to cool it
33:06for both of our sakes.
33:18So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:20We're hard launching on social media.
33:22That's great, so?
33:24You seem happy.
33:26Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:28People are saying you and
33:30Liam Sterling are in a thing.
33:36Me and Liam?
33:38What?
33:40You know how people talk. I told them it's ridiculous,
33:42but you two do spend a lot of time together.
33:44Liam is just a client, nothing else.
33:46Right.
33:48LA people love to gossip.
33:50Anyway, I think Dylan is
33:52really serious about us.
34:00Who was that?
34:02Just work. Always something.
34:04You're still coming to set tonight, right?
34:06I have that huge scene.
34:08I won't miss it.
34:34Hey!
34:38You want some of this?
34:40Cut!
34:44Dylan, I said cut!
34:46Stop punching!
34:50I didn't even realize Lena was directing this film.
34:52Brooke, she said you're a client.
34:54It's hard to keep it private lately.
34:56Are you okay?
34:58You're not your usual
35:00obnoxiously organized self lately.
35:04Okay, I'm going to tell you this
35:06just because I trust you not to repeat it,
35:08but I am
35:10beyond overwhelmed.
35:12Did you get any word of those weird calls?
35:14Yeah, I got a message today, and
35:16that on top of work
35:18and some other stuff
35:20that I'm dealing with.
35:22Just to...
35:24I'll take you to sleep and get some rest.
35:26I can't. I promised Sophie I'd stay for her
35:28scenes.
35:30She's nervous.
35:32She's lucky to have you.
35:34She's like a little
35:36sister to me.
35:38Plus, if I left now, I wouldn't get any
35:40sleep anyway, so...
35:42Do you want me to stay over?
35:44Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone.
35:46Like a sleepover.
35:48That actually sounds really nice,
35:50Ethan. Thanks.
35:52I owe you.
35:54Moving on to the next scene!
35:56Okay.
36:03Dylan,
36:05what are you doing here? It's a woman's dressing room.
36:07You know what I'm doing.
36:11I literally don't.
36:13You know you want some of this.
36:15You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:17You want
36:19some Dylan fucking
36:21work.
36:23No! Ew!
36:25Ah!
36:27I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
36:29You're my client. I'm your publicist.
36:31And you're dating my best friend.
36:33Yeah. Yeah, she's chill as fuck.
36:35Then act like it.
36:37Because she really likes you.
36:39And if you're not serious about her,
36:41it's gonna hurt.
36:43I'm only dating her for the publicity.
36:45I'm gonna drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out,
36:47and then you and I can finally be together.
36:49You and I?
36:53We are never going to be together.
36:55I'm not even remotely interested in you.
36:57If you try this shit again, I'm dropping you as a client.
37:02Motherfucker.
37:04What the fuck, babe?
37:09Brooke, did you see that?
37:11This seems so much fun.
37:13Um, is everything okay?
37:15I'm just not feeling too well.
37:17Oh, no.
37:19I hope you're not coming down with something.
37:21Um, probably just overworked.
37:23Well, go home. Get some rest.
37:25Are you sure?
37:27I'm thoughtful. I really appreciate you coming,
37:29but I need you well-rested so that we can party this weekend, okay?
37:31Okay, fair.
37:33But do you have a ride home?
37:35Dylan's driving me. I'll see you.
37:39You ready to get out of here?
37:41Beyond ready.
37:43Okay.
37:53I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
37:59All right.
38:01The windows and doors are locked, and the alarm system's on.
38:03Thanks for checking.
38:05You're safe.
38:07Whoever's leaving those messages
38:09is just playing a really bad prank,
38:11or it's Niles being childish again.
38:13You really think so?
38:15I do.
38:17But it's okay to be scared.
38:19I'm here for you.
38:23I don't know how much you mean to me.
38:25Good night.
38:27Can you please sleep here with me?
38:29You sure?
38:31Positive.
38:33I'll always be here for you.
38:49Can't sleep?
38:51No.
38:53You either?
38:57There's something that's been on my mind.
38:59There's something I've been wanting to do.
39:13I've wanted this for so long.
39:17Me too.
39:19More than anything.
39:27I love you.
39:57Good morning.
39:59I made the coffee unbearably strong,
40:01just the way you like it.
40:03Amazing.
40:05So you feeling better now?
40:07Huh?
40:09After what?
40:11From a full night's sleep?
40:13Oh, yeah.
40:15I slept great.
40:17Thanks for staying with me.
40:19I finally felt a little safer.
40:21It's okay.
40:23I'm here for you.
40:25Thanks for staying with me.
40:27I finally felt a little safer.
40:29No problem.
40:31Plus, your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:33That's sad, Ethan.
40:35Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:37Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
40:39Cool.
40:41Ethan?
40:43You need a towel.
40:51I forgot to tell you.
40:55I forgot to tell you.
41:01We stuck the towels.
41:03Thanks.
41:05Wanna jump in with me?
41:07Shut up.
41:11I should probably go get that.
41:13Want me to check it out?
41:15No, it's okay.
41:17I'll be quick.
41:25John?
41:27Liam, what are you doing here?
41:29You've been ignoring my calls.
41:31We're supposed to be distancing.
41:33I'm over that.
41:35Look, can I come inside?
41:37No.
41:39No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:41You're being really weird.
41:43No, I'm being cautious, okay?
41:45People can't see us together.
41:47There's already rumors swirling.
41:49So let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:52No one has to know that.
41:55So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:57So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
41:59I don't care, alright?
42:01I like being around you and I want to explore our connection.
42:07I can't do this.
42:09Brooke, come on, wait.
42:17Your shower head's incredible.
42:19Gotta guarantee your designer's contact info.
42:21Yeah, they're great.
42:23I'll give it to you.
42:25Who's at the door?
42:27Um...
42:29Just some girls
42:31selling cookies.
42:33Do you want to get breakfast?
42:35No, I'm just gonna
42:37head to the office early.
42:39You never turn down breakfast.
42:41Just not hungry.
42:43See you later.
42:49So why'd you call me here?
42:51You want to offer me representation again?
42:53I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:55I want to know why you're leaving me
42:57these insane messages.
43:03This isn't for me.
43:05Don't bullshit us, Niles.
43:07Tell the truth.
43:09I won't be mad.
43:11I didn't send you this.
43:13What about the creepy voice calls?
43:15The voice changer didn't call me.
43:17Brooke, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:19Why don't you just admit it?
43:21Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you,
43:23but I have a business to run, okay?
43:25Did you do this or not?
43:27Brooke, let me tell you something.
43:29I have court dates,
43:31no movie deals,
43:33and two excessively large mansions
43:35that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for
43:37to keep out of foreclosure.
43:39So no, I didn't have time to deliver pranks
43:41that you're dealing with.
43:43Okay. Do you believe him?
43:45Yes, I do.
43:47So can I go, or are you going to try to accuse me
43:49of something else I didn't do?
43:51No, you can go.
43:53Sorry.
43:57We should call the cops, right?
43:59Get an investigation going?
44:01No, not yet. Thanks, partner.
44:09The customer you're trying to reach
44:11is not available.
44:13What the heck?
44:17Hi. I questioned Niles.
44:19Um, please call me ASAP.
44:33Sophie, what's going on? I got your text.
44:35What's the emergency?
44:37He broke off his knee break.
44:39What? When?
44:41When did this happen?
44:43After our last scene.
44:45He said it was because of you
44:47that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:49What?
44:51I would never say that.
44:53He's lying.
44:55Then why would he blame you?
44:57I don't know. I guess he's using me as an excuse.
44:59I feel so stupid.
45:01I really liked him.
45:03We even got these matching bracelets.
45:05You're not stupid, okay?
45:07Dylan messed up.
45:09You deserve better.
45:11Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
45:13I swear, okay? He's just avoiding accountability.
45:15He's a douche.
45:17How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:21Sophie.
45:23You're a professional.
45:25Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:27You're right. Yeah.
45:29Okay.
45:31One second.
45:33Ethan.
45:37Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:39Sophie and I have a meeting.
45:41You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:43Busy day.
45:45Sophie.
45:47What's wrong?
45:49Are you okay?
45:51Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:53I'm so sorry to hear that.
45:55Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
45:57No, no, no. Absolutely not.
45:59I've been waiting to talk to you.
46:01Great. So have I.
46:05Look.
46:07I will see you after I wrap here tonight.
46:09Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:11Yeah, sure.
46:15Ethan, call me back whenever you can, okay?
46:17It's really important.
46:19Yeah, okay.
46:21Hello?
46:29Oh, what's good? It's Big Del.
46:31Damn.
46:33You fucking liar.
46:35What are you talking about?
46:37Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:39You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me.
46:41I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:43You're disgusting.
46:45I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:47I didn't lie to her.
46:49Okay.
46:51I lied.
46:53I lied. I'm sorry.
46:55I'll apologize to her tonight, okay?
46:57You trying to kill my star?
47:01He's a fool when stars are clacking.
47:03Can we talk?
47:05In private.
47:09Wow, nice office.
47:11Sit down.
47:13You know what's wrong?
47:15Did something happen on set?
47:17You tell me.
47:19Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on,
47:21just not on my set.
47:23I don't understand.
47:25I'm talking about you and Liam.
47:29You introduced us, pushed us together,
47:31and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:33No, it's not like that.
47:35Bullshit.
47:37Everyone's talking about it.
47:39You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
47:41You think I'm dumb?
47:43Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
47:45There's something going on between us, but...
47:47What? You didn't expect to fall into his bed?
47:49You set us up like pawns in your game
47:51and now you want him for yourself?
47:53No, I truly wanted you two to be happy.
47:55You don't care about me.
47:57You only care about your selfish matchmaking games.
47:59You didn't care what this would do to me.
48:01That's not true.
48:03Lena,
48:05I'm sorry.
48:07You're sorry you got caught.
48:09Luckily I'm over him.
48:11He really is just a shallow, pretty boy.
48:13He's a shitty PR boy.
48:15We're done.
48:17Get out.
48:43Um, Sophie,
48:45I said seven. It's almost eight.
48:47Sorry, we got distracted.
48:49Is that so?
48:51He's so funny. You have to tell Brooke about the story
48:53of your dog in the summer house.
48:55You mean my dog eating the lasagna
48:57that his mom made for dinner?
48:59I know that one.
49:01I was there.
49:07Hey, can you go stir the pot on the stove?
49:09I have to talk to Ethan about a shared climate.
49:11You made dinner?
49:13On it.
49:15Um, so I talked to Niles
49:17and he swear it wasn't him.
49:19I don't know if we should believe him, but
49:21I mean, I kind of believe him because I have
49:23other suspects in mind. What do you think?
49:25I don't know, Brooke.
49:27Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:29Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
49:31No, he's not.
49:33But clearly you are.
49:35What are you talking about?
49:37I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
49:39I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:41Soph?
49:43Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:45We have a lot in common, okay? And she sees me, Brooke.
49:47Sees you? What does that even mean?
49:57I was just stirring and all of a sudden this flew through the window.
49:59It wasn't me, I swear.
50:01What is it?
50:05I knew it.
50:07Knew what?
50:11What are you talking about?
50:13Oh my god.
50:17I want to see.
50:19Holy shit, Brooke.
50:21I lied.
50:23You lied to me about the rumors.
50:25You said it was nothing.
50:27I didn't mean to.
50:29I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:31You weren't trying to lie to me.
50:33We're supposed to tell each other everything. We're best friends.
50:35I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:37So what was I, Brooke?
50:39Just a backup?
50:41Someone to keep around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:43No, Ethan. It wasn't like that.
50:45You knew exactly what you were doing.
50:47What?
50:49I thought we were finally going to admit
50:51how we felt about each other.
50:53More than friends.
50:57Ethan, I didn't mean to hurt you.
50:59You hurt us both, Brooke.
51:01I defended you when everybody
51:03was talking behind your back.
51:05I know. I just...
51:07I didn't want it to be real. I thought that if I ignored it,
51:09it would just go away.
51:11Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:13I thought we had something, Brooke.
51:15Can't you feel it, too?
51:17Brooke, you need to figure out what you want.
51:19You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
51:21They're not a game, no matter how much
51:23you'd like them to be.
51:27I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:29Ethan, I don't understand. I thought we were just friends.
51:31No, bullshit.
51:35After all these years, I figured you'd realize
51:37that what we had is special.
51:39You are special to me.
51:41Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
51:43Wait.
51:45Save it, Brooke.
51:57Oh, no!
51:59Sleeper steam kitchen.
52:01Are you happy now?
52:03Not even close. You'll pay it.
52:05Go to hell.
52:09I said go to hell!
52:13Whoa, wait. What did I do?
52:15Liam?
52:17I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
52:19Look, can I come over? I want to see you.
52:23Fine.
52:25Good old Hollywood rumor mill
52:27strikes again.
52:29It's not a rumor if it's true.
52:31It's a shame things between us had to cause
52:33so much drama.
52:35I can craft and control
52:37all of my clients' public images,
52:39spin any story around,
52:41make bad press good,
52:43shape the way Hollywood
52:45sees them.
52:47But when it comes to
52:49people I actually care about,
52:51I'm powerless.
52:53I'm powerless.
52:55I have this wall
52:57over everything. Everything's
52:59controlled. It looks
53:01easily managed, but no.
53:03In reality, it's such a mess.
53:05I've spent so
53:07long creating
53:09these perfect lives for everyone
53:11else.
53:13I think it's just time for me to be
53:15honest about mine.
53:17You know, you can control everybody else's image,
53:19but when it comes to your own life, sometimes
53:21the spotlight burns too bright.
53:23I should have understood the consequences
53:25for everyone.
53:27For you.
53:29For Lena. For Ethan.
53:33You know, Ethan's not totally innocent
53:35in all this either.
53:37He's been keeping things bottled up for way too long.
53:39I should have just been honest with him.
53:41Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:43You won't lose me.
53:45To be determined.
53:47Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
53:49Really?
53:57William, I'm sorry.
53:59You love Ethan.
54:01Yeah.
54:03I do.
54:05I understand.
54:07And for what it's worth,
54:09I think you should go get what you want.
54:11You're not upset. I am.
54:13But I would never want to stop you
54:15from following your heart.
54:19Hi, Ethan.
54:21Surprise, Brooke.
54:23It's you.
54:25Where's Ethan?
54:27Ethan and Sophie are with me.
54:29Let's just say they're safe for now.
54:31You have Sophie too?
54:33Where are you?
54:35Oh, you'll know soon enough.
54:37But here's the thing.
54:39If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:41I'll do anything.
54:43Check your texts.
54:49Let's go.
54:51I'll drive.
55:01Wait.
55:03If things get out of control, you need to run.
55:05Okay? This doesn't involve you.
55:07I'm not leaving your side.
55:09Okay.
55:13Hello?
55:19Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:21I'm so glad you could make it.
55:23Let them go.
55:25Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
55:27I'll make a great addition to my kill team.
55:29No one's getting killed tonight.
55:35No!
55:37Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:45Niles.
55:47Niles.
55:49You swore that it wasn't Brooke.
55:51I'm a fucking actor.
55:53All we do is lie.
55:55You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power,
55:57you really are just another stupid,
55:59stupid Hollywood girl.
56:01You're insane.
56:03Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
56:05What do I want?
56:07I want you all to feel like I felt
56:09when I was betrayed.
56:13You think you're untouchable.
56:15You think you're queen.
56:17Always in control.
56:19But Brooke, you're just like the rest of us.
56:21Dispose of it.
56:25This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:27Ego?
56:29No, Brooke.
56:31This is about your company.
56:33Liam. Sophie.
56:35Ethan.
56:37They stole your attention from me.
56:39But I'm taking it back.
56:41You're wrong, Niles.
56:43This isn't about power.
56:45It's about helping people.
56:47And I tried to help you, but you're Beyoncé.
56:49Help?
56:51Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:53It's about control.
56:55Bending people to your will.
56:57Do you really think
56:59that you can play puppet master forever?
57:09You're quick.
57:11Go to hell.
57:13I don't think so.
57:23Show's over, Niles.
57:25I'm a fucking movie star.
57:27You can't kill me.
57:29I'm in control.
57:41Brooke.
57:45Brooke, you really kicked his ass.
57:47Oh my god, you fucked him up.
57:49Brooke, I'm so sorry.
57:51No, this is all my fault.
57:53No, Brooke.
57:55I've wasted the last ten years of my life
57:57hiding the way I felt about you.
57:59But now I'm...
58:01I'm so desperately in love with you.
58:03And I don't want to spend another day of my life
58:05without you by my side.
58:07I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:09Liam and I were nothing, okay?
58:11I'm in love with you.
58:13Okay? And I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
58:25I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:27I love you, Brooke Harington.
58:31Guys, I'm...
58:33I'm still tied up.
58:39No, it's cool. I got it.
58:41Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:45Hey, can I ask you something?
58:47Anything.
58:49I look, like, really heroic, right?
58:51I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:53Yes.
58:55It was fair.
58:59What do you say we get out of here?
59:01That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:03Um, guys?
59:05Where's Niles?
59:07He must have ran off.
59:09He won't get very far.
59:11He's not a very fast runner, huh?
59:29You did good, Brooke.
59:31I couldn't do it without you.
59:33What do you say we take to the carpet fields?
59:35I'd go anywhere with you.
