Short filmTranscript
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. Please.
00:05:56Okay, well, you know I'm not going to take you away from me, right?
00:06:00Okay.
00:06:02Well, 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.
00:06:26We need to focus on the people who do recognize you. Ben.
00:06:30I 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 know.
00:06:40Is it harmful for my image? Is it?
00:06:46You can date who you want to, but there's rumors. Like, it ruins your identity.
00:06:52Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:54Obviously not.
00:06:56I've been contacted by Thomas's manager.
00:06:59He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:01Just release a statement.
00:07:02I've been telling the reporters these rumors aren't true,
00:07:04but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:11What 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.
00:07:40I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:55Everything 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...
00:08:20I 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.
00:08:55I think...
00:09:08I have to go back.
00:09:25Nope. Nope.
00:09:38Absolutely not.
00:09:40Not answering any of our scam calls.
00:09:42What is it, Marlon?
00:09:58Um, hey.
00:10:00Is it Blake?
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.
00:10:09Um, 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.
00:10:35I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:39Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:41Your idea. It's absurd.
00:10:43I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:45Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:47Well, everybody lies. People believe anything.
00:10:51Well, 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. I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:01You sure?
00:11:03I'm sure.
00:11:04Send her in.
00:11:10Still not sure about this girl.
00:11:14Come in.
00:11:18Please, take a seat.
00:11:21Thanks 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.
00:11:48This is all...
00:11:52So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:55So you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:11:59Yeah, it's as simple as that.
00:12:02Okay, but who's Ben?
00:12:08How do you not know Ben? Like, you haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:12:17I'm not really a social person, so, you know, whatever happens in Trovis, I don't know about.
00:12:22Yeah, but still, like, who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:29I am Ben.
00:12:32Will you do me this favour?
00:12:40No.
00:12:55That was...
00:12:55That was...
00:12:57That was Ben. The...
00:13:00The Ben Cooper.
00:13:05I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:08Oh my god, oh 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... I... I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:36I guess I've got to keep packing then.
00:13:46Ah, I sold out!
00:13:56Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:16Ew!
00:14:17Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:26Hey.
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.
00:14:48Just 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.
00:15:08Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:11I agree.
00:15:12I'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?
00:15:31It plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:35It makes it more believable.
00:15:47Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:15:48Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:50All right, I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:57All right.
00:16:01Ben's stubbornness goes to the next level.
00:16:08Please pick up, Blake.
00:16:14We need a plan B.
00:16:20Who is it?
00:16:22It's me, Blake.
00:16:26Please come in.
00:16:31Take a seat.
00:16:33I hope we're alone in here.
00:16:35Oh, of course.
00:16:39I knew you'd be back.
00:16:42I need a job, Alan.
00:16:44Oh, of course.
00:16:45It's what we offered you in your birthplace.
00:16:46No, a proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:51Look.
00:16:53Look, 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 what?
00:17:00Someone'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.
00:17:07It's more of a favor.
00:17:11Okay, fine.
00:17:12Then I can't do it then.
00:17:14Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:17I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:21But I can't.
00:17:25I'm really sorry.
00:17:26Blake, please.
00:17:28Come 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 unless you really respect someone.
00:17:51Oh my god.
00:17:53Oh 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 as 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.
00:18:11You failed, okay?
00:18:13Just 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?
00:18:21Now.
00:18:43Hello?
00:19:03Look, I'm busy so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:05It's Ben.
00:19:08Ben Cooper?
00:19:09What?
00:19:11Look, if you're busy then that's okay.
00:19:13I can call tomorrow.
00:19:14No.
00:19:16Um, 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 so 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?
00:19:37Um, I'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, this 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 I offered you a different role?
00:21:29As my secretary.
00:21:31That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name,
00:21:35and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:38Um, okay.
00:21:41Well, it's still not a job.
00:21:44I want a long-term job.
00:21:46You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:48I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:50How much do you need?
00:21:51Is it about money?
00:21:53No, it's not about money.
00:21:56What if I offered to hire you full-time?
00:21:59Full-time secretary.
00:22:01Permanently.
00:22:03I'm sorry.
00:22:03I really don't understand.
00:22:07Why me?
00:22:10Because I just like you.
00:22:12I mean, for the, for this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:16Okay, but there are so many other people that you could pick from.
00:22:20There's something different about you.
00:22:23Look, I've offered you the role with a part to play along.
00:22:28Are you in?
00:22:35I'm in.
00:22:36I'm in.
00:22:53Ria, what are you doing?
00:22:57Don't treat me like this.
00:22:58You're not supposed to treat my ex.
00:23:00You're in my work.
00:23:01Can you just get over this already?
00:23:03We're not in a relationship anymore, okay?
00:23:06Just leave.
00:23:07Ben, I know I'm just...
00:23:11You don't need to pretend.
00:23:13You can say it to me time and time again.
00:23:15This is no different.
00:23:16Ben, I'm here for you.
00:23:20Just get off, okay?
00:23:22You need to get out.
00:23:29This is the contract.
00:23:31This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:35We will renew it, of course, so you don't have to worry.
00:23:50I'm sorry.
00:23:53You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:55Is 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?
00:24:10Well, I mean, Alan looks after the whole agency.
00:24:14So it's a lot of work for him, and 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.
00:24:30Alright.
00:24:31Well, how about you sign the contract so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:49Welcome.
00:24:51You're hired.
00:24:53Thanks.
00:24:55I'll try my best for you.
00:24:59Thanks.
00:25:04Relax.
00:25:06You look tense.
00:25:09Um, I could have bought my own food and drinks. You don't have to.
00:25:13Don't be silly. I was buying things for myself, so I'm more than happy to buy you something.
00:25:19Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:22Wrong idea about what?
00:25:24Well, it could easily be seen as that I'm just using my money to get to you.
00:25:29I just want you to know it's not like that.
00:25:32I know.
00:25:37I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:41Seriously?
00:25:42Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:46It was tough, and all that happened before I met Al.
00:25:51And once I met him, he is such a generous man, and he looked after me like his own brother.
00:25:57And now you've met him, too, so you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:02I...
00:26:04I'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 out for me.
00:26:16So that's where you come in.
00:26:18I promise that I'll try my best, even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:23No, it shouldn't require any sacrifices.
00:26:27Your dedication is enough.
00:26:33Oh, my God.
00:26:34I'm...
00:26:35I'm so sorry.
00:26:36I'm meeting someone.
00:26:37I've got to go.
00:26:38Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:40No, it's okay.
00:26:41It's not that far.
00:26:42I can just walk.
00:26:43Okay.
00:26:44Bye.
00:26:46See you.
00:26:59I really should stop reading these.
00:27:04Take a seat.
00:27:06Take a seat.
00:27:17Why did you call me?
00:27:19Nah, straight to the point.
00:27:22Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:25I wanted to sue you.
00:27:26We would have done that a long time ago.
00:27:28I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:30We really should pay for all the wrong information your stupid article spreads.
00:27:36I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:40Look, I have a task for you.
00:27:44And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:47I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:50What kind of task?
00:27:54I want you to write exclusive articles about men.
00:27:57I want you to write exclusive articles about men.
00:28:00I'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.
00:28:27Alright.
00:28:30Consider it done.
00:28:33Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:37And don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:52Hey, sorry.
00:28:53Hey, sorry.
00:29:00Sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:02Oh, that's fine.
00:29:04I should have informed you before coming over, sorry.
00:29:07It's alright.
00:29:12So why are you standing there?
00:29:15What do you mean? I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:19You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:21Is that so?
00:29:23Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:34Hello?
00:29:37Yeah, I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:29:40Alright.
00:29:42Okay.
00:29:43Bye.
00:29:45Alright, Ben, we need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:48Oh, wait.
00:29:50I've got an appointment.
00:29:52Appointment?
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:55It's alright, it's my own personal business.
00:29:56I'll take care of it some other time.
00:29:57No, that's alright.
00:29:58Blake can accompany me.
00:30:00Me?
00:30:03Alright.
00:30:05Alright, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:09So, are you ready for the task?
00:30:12What task?
00:30:15Task three.
00:30:17Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:20Oh, 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.
00:30:34Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:36I'll publicise 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?
00:30:53That'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:01Yes.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:03Alright, thank 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.
00:31:17Mm.
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.
00:31:39I 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.
00:31:58Wow.
00:31:59Yeah, I used to help him repair old cars and, you know, he loved to have me by his side, helping out.
00:32:06Well, why did you stop?
00:32:07You could have opened a shop here.
00:32:09My dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:15Oh.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:20You know, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:24So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:32:28But then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:33So.
00:32:35And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:32:39I'm so sorry.
00:32:41That's OK.
00:32:44Shall we head home?
00:32:48Yeah.
00:33:05Hey, Alan.
00:33:06Thanks for organizing the suit.
00:33:08And thanks for organizing Blake's dress, too.
00:33:10She loves it.
00:33:11Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:12All right.
00:33:13Gotta go.
00:33:14See you.
00:33:16All right.
00:33:17I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:18Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:20No, it's fine.
00:33:21No, it's, uh.
00:33:23Oh, I see.
00:33:24You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:29Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:31Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:35I didn't.
00:33:36I wasn't saying.
00:33:41I was joking.
00:33:43OK, well, I'm going to get the suit now.
00:33:45No, you're not.
00:33:49I'm sorry.
00:33:51No, no.
00:33:52Don't apologize.
00:33:53Um, you know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:00I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:04I'm going to go grab the suit now.
00:34:14Good work.
00:34:16Good work.
00:34:22What is it?
00:34:25Your assistant is so rude.
00:34:27How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:30You better teach them some manners or I'm going to make a complaint.
00:34:34Ria, your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:37Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:41Look, I'm here.
00:34:46To give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:50You know you can't replace me.
00:34:53Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:34:55Ria, 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 and again.
00:35:06What are you talking about, breached my contract?
00:35:08I went on vacation.
00:35:10You didn't tell me anything or Ben, so I took it as your resignation.
00:35:16Okay, so take this and drop a new contract and let's get back into it.
00:35:21I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:23Ria, my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:27But we're...
00:35:41Ria?
00:35:55You're trusting me with a house key, 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.
00:36:33Ben?
00:36:35Ben?
00:36:59Not bad.
00:37:01Boss?
00:37:04What, you're not going to say hello?
00:37:07Hi.
00:37:09Sorry, I thought you would be busy, so I just came.
00:37:12No, that's okay, you've got keys.
00:37:14Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:16Hungry?
00:37:19No.
00:37:20Come on, let's have breakfast.
00:37:21No, I'm good.
00:37:22Let me show you my cooking skills, come 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.
00:37:54Like that?
00:37:55Yeah, just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:37:58Okay.
00:37:59You suck at it because you're holding her.
00:38:02You can't all...
00:38:03Just bring it back a little.
00:38:05Just...
00:38:21Hey Alan, I know I'm late, sorry.
00:38:23What's up?
00:38:25What?
00:38:28Alright.
00:38:31What's up?
00:38:33Alan says there's an article about us.
00:38:37Come on, let's go.
00:38:53Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:38:55Yeah, me too.
00:38:56Exactly, we haven't even done anything yet.
00:38:58I'd still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:05But I was just helping her.
00:39:06Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:09What's your problem? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:39:11Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:39:15Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:39:19You don't think it's too sudden?
00:39:22Too sudden?
00:39:23Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:28Oh, I'm sorry Blake, I didn't mean that.
00:39:31No, no, it's the truth, right?
00:39:35But that's just a side task. You are my secretary.
00:39:39And it's what you approached me for.
00:39:42It's fine, really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:39:45See, there's no problem here.
00:39:48Okay.
00:39:50Well, let's move it forward.
00:39:51Alright.
00:39:52So Ben, do you have a plan?
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:56Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:39:58Yes.
00:40:06Um, so that is the event we're going to tomorrow.
00:40:11Um, are you taking me as your date?
00:40:15Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:17No, no, can't, can't do that, too embarrassing.
00:40:21That's what I told Alan.
00:40:23It's not that, I just, I'm ready to do whatever, I just feel like it might be too much.
00:40:31Eventually, we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:40:36So why drag it out?
00:40:39I can see you're worried.
00:40:42It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:40:44I was scared, I didn't know how everyone was going to react.
00:40:49Whether they like what I'd done, whether they hate it.
00:40:53And I was alone.
00:40:55Your fear is justified, Blake, but you're not alone.
00:41:00We'll do this together.
00:41:05Alright, I'll go with you.
00:41:12I think what we've stopped.
00:41:15There's an opportunity here.
00:41:17For what?
00:41:20May I?
00:41:27Okay, act natural.
00:41:38Are you going home now?
00:41:40Are you going home now?
00:41:42Yeah, yeah, no, I will miss my bus, so I should rush.
00:41:46I have something that I need to show you.
00:41:48Would you mind coming with me?
00:41:51Um, Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:41:53It'll just be a minute, and I think I have a solution for that.
00:41:57Okay.
00:41:59This is for you.
00:42:01Oh, a key to your car now, too?
00:42:03A key to your car.
00:42:07What are you talking about?
00:42:09I bought you a car.
00:42:12Um, are you serious?
00:42:16It's just for your work, so you can drive me places and get home alright.
00:42:23I don't mind taking the bus, Ben, it's fine.
00:42:25I know you're fine, but, I mean, you drive me home, and then you struggle to get home yourself, and...
00:42:31No, I think it'll help you.
00:42:35Please, take it.
00:42:36Take it.
00:42:38Okay? It'll make me happy.
00:42:39And you need to practice your driving skills, so...
00:42:42Um...
00:42:56Thank you, Ben.
00:43:03I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:06Mm-hmm.
00:43:17There is no way I can spank you today.
00:43:24Oh, God.
00:43:25No, no.
00:43:28Just my job.
00:43:30Just my job.
00:43:37Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:46Hello?
00:43:49Listen, we cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the room.
00:43:55Yes.
00:43:57Just try and avoid the room, thank you very much.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:02Bye.
00:44:03Bye.
00:44:05Ben, 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 gonna start small, by, like, giving her a handshake, or just a hug.
00:44:23Is it working?
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?
00:44:37Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:44:42I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:44:45I thought we were minding our own business.
00:44:48You're so stuck in the past. Can you get over that already?
00:44:52You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:44:56Just when are you gonna drop that?
00:44:59I thought we were exclusive. What happened to us?
00:45:04Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:45:07We're broken up.
00:45:09You never actually broke up with me.
00:45:11Oh, jeez.
00:45:12You left me.
00:45:15You told me to mind my own business, you treated me like garbage, and you expect me to, what, come in here and I forgive you?
00:45:20Okay, Ben, Ben, calm down.
00:45:22No, no.
00:45:24You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:45:29Ben.
00:45:30Alan, just please ask her to leave.
00:45:32Maria, please.
00:45:41So you're Blake.
00:45:44Hey, Blake.
00:45:46Let me drive you back to my place.
00:45:54I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:45:57You know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:46:01Why is that?
00:46:03Because you don't pay attention to the road and you don't think when you're angry.
00:46:09Are you serious?
00:46:11Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:46:15I like to drive to distract myself.
00:46:18I can't help it.
00:46:19Okay.
00:46:21What do you do when you're angry?
00:46:27I guess I just like to go somewhere alone and then let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:46:38I usually drive alone.
00:46:41Well, you don't have to anymore, you've got me now.
00:46:45Well, you don't have to anymore, you've got me now.
00:46:49Always?
00:46:55Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:46:57I am very busy, as you know.
00:47:00I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:47:03I can tell.
00:47:06I can teach you.
00:47:08I'd like that.
00:47:15I'm sorry.
00:47:23I overdid it, didn't I?
00:47:24No.
00:47:26You look perfect.
00:47:29I promise.
00:47:31You 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.
00:47:40I 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, be 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.
00:48:08Shall we complete the look?
00:48:10Yes.
00:48:27Done. Let's go.
00:48:39Are 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.
00:49:03Well, I told you.
00:49:04I 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.
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:39Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:49:44You know he's just using you.
00:49:46Always does that.
00:49:50What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:49:52Ben is mine.
00:49:54I won't let you steal him from me.
00:49:56Really?
00:49:57Stop being delusional.
00:49:58He wants nothing to do with you.
00:50:08Don't you ever mess with me.
00:50:27Hey.
00:50:33Hey.
00:50:39Wait, what happened?
00:50:43Hang on, stay where you are, I'm coming.
00:50:45Okay?
00:50:47Blake.
00:50:48Hey.
00:50:49Hey, Blake.
00:50:51What happened? Are you okay?
00:50:54Hey.
00:50:55You said Rhea did something?
00:50:57Yeah?
00:50:59Let's get you home.
00:51:06I'm so sorry.
00:51:08I'm so sorry.
00:51:11I don't want to talk about it, Ben.
00:51:13That's okay.
00:51:14It's okay.
00:51:15I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:51:17I'm so sorry.
00:51:19Yeah, let's go home.
00:51:24Come on.
00:51:27Um, do you want your jacket back?
00:51:29No.
00:51:30No, you keep it.
00:51:33You can take the car, I can just take the bus.
00:51:36No, no, I'll take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:38You keep the car.
00:51:39Please, Blake.
00:51:44Hey, can we, can we talk?
00:51:46Is your place alright?
00:51:49No, no, it's fine.
00:51:50I was, it's silly.
00:51:52No, it's, um, come on in.
00:51:57Okay.
00:52:07Um, 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.
00:52:18I 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.
00:53:00What do you mean?
00:53:04I mean...
00:53:08I think...
00:53:10I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:53:16Since, since when?
00:53:18To 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.
00:53:47Please, don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:53:51I just want it to be true to myself.
00:54:01Can I kiss you?
00:54:03Because I, I really want to.
00:54:17Hello?
00:54:23Yes?
00:54:27Send her in.
00:54:32What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of things.
00:54:35Well, everything was fine until Ria calls to say...
00:54:39When will she leave us alone?
00:54:41What did you do exactly?
00:54:44Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
00:54:48And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
00:54:52And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
00:54:58She's really crossed the line this time.
00:55:00Write an article about this. We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
00:55:05Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm only paid to write for Ben.
00:55:13I'm sorry.
00:55:22Who's that I've done?
00:55:28Who is this?
00:55:29She's a reporter.
00:55:30And what are you doing here?
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. You know what she's done.
00:55:48I know, I know, I know. But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:55:52Of course!
00:55:53Right? She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
00:55:57Look...
00:55:58She wrote those articles.
00:55:59I know, I know. Please, take a seat.
00:56:04She wrote those articles on you in the first place, therefore she has the audience we need.
00:56:08Don't you see?
00:56:09She...
00:56:11She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died.
00:56:14This is because people trust her.
00:56:16One good deed does not make her a good person, okay?
00:56:19I don't trust her.
00:56:20I know, I know.
00:56:21I don't trust her either.
00:56:25But I've got a plan, okay?
00:56:26She is useful.
00:56:30Still...
00:56:31Ben...
00:56:33In my years of managing, I've learnt one thing.
00:56:36Sometimes you need to take the risk.
00:56:40Whatever.
00:56:41Okay, I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
00:56:44No.
00:56:45Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
00:56:46No, I know.
00:56:47It's so sad what happened to her last night.
00:56:50Blake?
00:56:52Wait, where is she?
00:56:53Why isn't she with you?
00:56:55Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:56:57We can't do this without her!
00:56:59How are we going to do our next...
00:57:00She's just taking a break today.
00:57:02Everything's fine.
00:57:03But...
00:57:05I do need to tell you something.
00:57:10What?
00:57:21It smells so good.
00:57:25What 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.
00:57:32Mm-mm.
00:57:39What?
00:57:48Food's ready.
00:57:55How will we eat later?
00:58:09Why'd you call?
00:58:11Why'd you call?
00:58:13Don't play dumb with me.
00:58:16Defame me?
00:58:18Fear you.
00:58:20I mean, why else?
00:58:21Why would you call this soon?
00:58:23Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:25Can you keep it down?
00:58:27Someone 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?
00:58:34This is not about defaming Ben.
00:58:36I just wanted him to get back with me.
00:58:40But I do need your help.
00:58:43I have some intel on Blake that I think you're going to want to hear.
00:58:54Their relationship. The whole thing.
00:58:57It's fake.
00:58:58They've got a contract.
00:58:59It's all for publicity.
00:59:01Expose her.
00:59:04Ria, this isn't enough.
00:59:05I know that.
00:59:10Good.
00:59:12That should be enough.
00:59:16Now, do it.
00:59:18Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:23And if you do it, and it works,
00:59:26I'll agree to go on a date with you.
00:59:30Do you promise?
00:59:32Promise.
00:59:34Anything for a date with you.
00:59:40Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:42Say it with a smile. Be nice, Alan.
00:59:47Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:50See, that's what I'm talking about.
00:59:54Well, how do you want to go about this? People already know you're dating.
00:59:57Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct about our relationship status.
01:00:03Alright.
01:00:04What about you, Blake?
01:00:06Your contract?
01:00:08Let's just end the contract here.
01:00:10We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:00:14Alright.
01:00:15And what about your secretary job?
01:00:17Still going to continue with that?
01:00:21Yeah, I'll still keep my job at home.
01:00:23Alright.
01:00:24Well, if she's made up her mind.
01:00:26Well, if she's made up her mind.
01:00:39No way.
01:00:41You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:00:50I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:00:52Yeah, let me see.
01:00:53You need to clear it.
01:00:54Hey, I'm going to go see Blake. She's not feeling well.
01:00:56Of course, of course. I understand.
01:01:01You need to listen to me for a second.
01:01:05I'm sorry.
01:01:06I shouldn't have hired Oliver.
01:01:09Yeah, I told you that before.
01:01:11But you didn't listen to me.
01:01:12And now we're here.
01:01:13Okay?
01:01:14She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:01:16Including her home address in the village.
01:01:18She's not safe anymore.
01:01:20What am I supposed-
01:01:21Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:23How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:24Just-
01:01:26Just talk to her. I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:29You do your job.
01:01:31I'll do mine.
01:01:43What's in the bag?
01:01:46Where are you going?
01:01:49I don't know.
01:01:50You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:01:53What does it look like I'm doing, Ben?
01:01:55I'm leaving.
01:01:56What? No, you can't leave.
01:01:58We can fix this. It's not over-
01:02:00No. No. Everything about me is on the internet.
01:02:02Okay? I can't take it anymore.
01:02:04People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:02:08You're not fake.
01:02:10Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:02:12I can fix everything.
01:02:15I can't do this anymore, Ben.
01:02:17This isn't me. This isn't who I am.
01:02:19Blake, I love you so much.
01:02:21Just-
01:02:23Let me do something to fix it. I promise.
01:02:25Go!
01:02:28Just go. I can't- I can't do this anymore.
01:02:33Just go.
01:02:47Good work, Oliver.
01:02:48Anything for you?
01:02:51So, um, where's your part of the deal?
01:02:56I think I already paid you.
01:02:58Yeah, no, you did.
01:03:01I'm talking about our date.
01:03:05Oliver, I was just kidding.
01:03:10You were kidding?
01:03:12Yeah, I- I thought you realised that.
01:03:14Look, we're just so different.
01:03:19What do you mean by that?
01:03:21Well, let's just say I'm really useful to lots of different journalists.
01:03:28They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:33Wait, so you think I can't do my job without you?
01:03:37Obviously. I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:41I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:44Wow.
01:03:48But I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:03:52I need someone who's on the same level as me. You understand.
01:03:59Okay, fine. 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.
01:04:32Yeah, thank you very much. Alright.
01:04:35Okay, bye.
01:04:42He's become Ben.
01:04:50This is the legal notice I'm writing you.
01:04:55Find and double the amount paid.
01:05:01It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:05It's not negotiable.
01:05:12I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:17Fine. But it's not going to change the fact that 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.
01:05:31Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:05:36Alright.
01:05:38But 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.
01:06:08I know.
01:06:19What?
01:06:21Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:24I don't remember.
01:06:38What?
01:06:40I understand your decision to leave.
01:06:43But 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.
01:06:55Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:06:59She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:07:03The chats have been made public.
01:07:07If it's good for her, it's the least she deserves.
01:07:11Then we'll write a statement for you.
01:07:13And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:07:18It's fine, Alan.
01:07:20You don't have to waste all that money on me. I'm just a...
01:07:23regular person.
01:07:25So what?
01:07:27Regular people don't deserve respect.
01:07:30You know, I can't...
01:07:32ruin the career that Ben has worked so hard to achieve.
01:07:39That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:07:42And I would...
01:07:44really appreciate it if you could not...
01:07:47tell Ben about this, please.
01:07:53Blake.
01:07:55Just take the check, please.
01:07:56I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:08:00See ya.
01:08:12Thank you for bearing with me.
01:08:21I'm sorry.
01:08:23I'm sorry.
01:08:24I'm sorry.
01:08:29Why are you here, Ben?
01:08:31So...
01:08:33you've decided to leave?
01:08:35That's alright.
01:08:37Just let me drop you off.
01:08:39Ben, I...
01:08:40Please.
01:08:41One last time?
01:08:45Fine.
01:08:46Okay.
01:08:47I'm sorry.
01:08:52You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:56I don't deserve to have you.
01:08:59All I've done is just cause you trouble, and...
01:09:02you've had enough trouble because of me.
01:09:05So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:12It's not about you, Ben.
01:09:15You have dedicated your entire life to your career,
01:09:17and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:09:20All that matters to me is you.
01:09:23And without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:27I know, Ben.
01:09:29I'm glad you know.
01:09:34I'm gonna...
01:09:36I'm gonna...
01:09:38walk from here. You should...
01:09:45Hey.
01:09:48Do you want to come meet my family?
01:09:59Wilk.
01:10:14I'm sorry.
01:10:15I'm sorry.
01:10:16I'm sorry.
01:10:17I'm sorry.
01:10:18I'm sorry.
01:10:19I'm sorry.
01:10:20I'm sorry.
01:10:21I'm sorry.
01:10:22I'm sorry.
01:10:23I'm sorry.
01:10:24I'm sorry.
01:10:25I'm sorry.
01:10:26I'm sorry.
01:10:27I'm sorry.
01:10:28I'm sorry.
01:10:29I'm sorry.
01:10:30I'm sorry.
01:10:31I'm sorry.
01:10:32I'm sorry.
01:10:33I'm sorry.
01:10:34I'm sorry.
01:10:35I'm sorry.
01:10:36I'm sorry.
01:10:37I'm sorry.
01:10:38I'm sorry.
01:10:39I'm sorry.
01:10:40I'm sorry.
01:10:41I'm sorry.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
