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