00:00In this town, it's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top
00:16client.
00:17And once he's sober and on time, I publish his stream.
00:23For a star, rhyming is everything.
00:29Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big if she makes all the right moves.
00:36Stand tall, this is your life.
00:44Knowing your handiwork?
00:45Late as usual.
00:46Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:50Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent, the guy I've known longer than anyone, dependable, intelligent,
00:55and annoyingly charming.
00:59Nice dress.
01:00Nice bowtie.
01:01Just needs a little adjustment here.
01:05How's our golden boy?
01:07Is he behaving himself, or are we in for his new trying takes?
01:10He's playing nice.
01:12Give it an hour.
01:17What the hell, man?
01:18You can't just hit someone!
01:21Or less.
01:25Well, that escalated quickly.
01:27Stay close.
01:28I need to handle this before I hit someone else.
01:30Damage control.
01:31Got it.
01:33What the hell, man?
01:34You can't just hit someone!
01:41Niles?
01:42What happened?
01:43This loser shoved this camera in my face.
01:45It's on my bad side.
01:47I didn't even touch him.
01:48He's being dramatic.
01:49You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras.
01:51We need to fix this.
01:52Don't say that.
01:54Let's go home.
01:56Let's not make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.
01:58We can solve this quietly.
02:00How about $1,000 a year?
02:03$5,000.
02:04I'll pay along with it.
02:07Fine.
02:09You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:12It'll be fine.
02:14Oh, man!
02:15I dropped my camera again!
02:17I'm so clumsy!
02:19Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:22So sweet.
02:23Great work, man.
02:32That was impressive.
02:33In Hollywood, connections are a currency.
02:35Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out.
02:38But I keep them shining.
02:49Ethan?
02:50Ethan?
02:52What are you doing here?
03:20Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:21Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
03:22There's a last-minute addition of attention in the client meeting.
03:23Liam Sterling.
03:24Liam Sterling?
03:25That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:26He's looking to revamp his image.
03:27Interesting.
03:28When does he arrive?
03:29I'm sorry, I'm busy.
03:30I'm not sure I can make it.
03:31I'm sorry.
03:32I'm sorry.
03:33I'm sorry.
03:34I'm sorry.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:36I'm sorry.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:38I'm sorry.
03:39I'm sorry.
03:40I'm sorry.
03:41I'm sorry.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:43I'm sorry.
03:44I'm sorry.
03:45I'm sorry.
03:46I'm sorry.
03:47I'm sorry.
03:48I'm sorry.
03:50I'm sorry.
04:03Mr. Sterling, welcome to Harrington PR.
04:06I am your client, hello.
04:07I know.
04:08I know who you are.
04:10Call me Liam.
04:17I've heard a lot about you.
04:18So, you're the boss.
04:19I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do, but flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:25No discounts necessary. I'm here because I need a real change.
04:29Go on.
04:31I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless when he's acting.
04:33I mean, the heartthrob thing, it's been fun.
04:36But it's not who I am. I want substance.
04:39Roles that really challenge me.
04:41If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy.
04:45And it won't happen overnight.
04:47Are you ready for that?
04:49Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:52All right. We'll have to change your public persona.
04:55No more sexy magazine covers, and no more feeding into that heartthrob image.
05:01We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor,
05:04and you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
05:07Taking roles with depth, range.
05:11That's exactly what I want.
05:13I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com
05:16where I spend more time in the gym than with a script.
05:20Well, consider those two questions.
05:23But this is a partnership.
05:26You'll have to trust me. 100%.
05:30I trust you.
05:33You're the person I've been looking for.
05:37Come on.
05:39What might happen?
05:42What might happen?
05:44I'm all in.
05:48Brooke?
05:53Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:55Uh, you weren't interrupting anything.
05:57Is this your boyfriend?
05:58I, uh...
05:59God, no, um...
06:01This is my close friend, Aiden.
06:03Oh.
06:04Well, nice to meet you. I'm Liam Sterling.
06:06No, you are.
06:07I work closely with your agent.
06:09Brought you a coffee. I'll just sleep with Margaret.
06:11Thanks.
06:17He's a nice guy.
06:19You sure he's not your boyfriend?
06:21I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
06:23Uh, Liam. Remember?
06:25Liam.
06:27I have a feeling this is gonna work out really well.
06:29I'm, um...
06:31I'm sure it will.
06:32No.
06:33I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:38Yeah.
06:53Hello?
06:56Who's there?
06:58I'm armed.
07:04Don't shoot.
07:05Liam?
07:06I didn't mean to surprise you.
07:08With...
07:10wine and flowers?
07:12I'm gonna have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:15I mean, I guess this works.
07:25So...
07:26what's the occasion?
07:30Some say I'm cutthroat.
07:32Do they?
07:34You don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:36Appearances may be deceiving.
07:39And yet...
07:41here I am with you.
07:43Well, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble.
07:47Maybe.
07:49Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:52And what would that be?
07:54When the real chemistry's right here.
07:57Do we not?
07:59I don't know what you're talking about.
08:02I'm sure you don't.
08:06This wine is great.
08:08Great taste.
08:10So are we gonna do something about this, or are you just gonna sit here enjoying the wine?
08:17Okay.
08:19I'll let you get some rest.
08:22No.
08:24Stay a little longer.
08:27I'll stay as long as you want.
08:31Okay.
08:50This is so unprofessional.
08:51I'm not gonna fire you.
08:53Are you gonna fire me?
08:55No.
09:02Shit.
09:06Shit.
09:10No good morning kiss?
09:12I don't think so.
09:14Come on.
09:18Let's say it was a mistake.
09:20Fun.
09:22But still a mistake.
09:24Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:26You're my client.
09:29I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
09:31You know.
09:35You were great last night.
09:38Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:41If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career.
09:44Not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
09:46Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:50Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:55Everyone else would.
09:57I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
10:02The sooner we move past this, the sooner that I can get you and Lena and your career moving forward.
10:09Sound good?
10:13No.
10:15But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:20Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:23Yes.
10:25That's what's best.
10:27Whatever you say.
10:28I'm sorry.
10:30At least we got it out of our systems.
10:32Call you later.
10:48Last night was amazing.
10:50The movie sucked, aside from my scene.
10:52I met this guy at the after party.
10:54He's way older. A screenwriter.
10:56Ugh, come on.
10:58An old screenwriter?
11:00You are Sophie Miller.
11:02You can do so much better.
11:04I know that look, Brooke.
11:06You're up to something.
11:07What makes you think that?
11:08You love playing matchmaker.
11:10Admit it.
11:11You're trying to set me up.
11:13Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
11:17You can be one of them.
11:19Well, what about you?
11:20When are you going to find your someone?
11:22Oh, I'm happy being single.
11:25Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love lives.
11:29You've never thought about it?
11:33Of course I have.
11:37But then I remember all the drama that comes with it, and...
11:41I like the way my life is.
11:43Dramatically.
11:45I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
11:49Alright, drama queen.
11:51We have a party to get ready for.
11:59This is quite the party.
12:01Only the best parties are held on stove.
12:03You're leveling up.
12:13So, whose party is this anyway?
12:15Dylan's.
12:16Dylan Parker's?
12:17You were serious about setting me up.
12:19When do I say anything just for fun?
12:22I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
12:24You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:26Trust me, you'll thank me later.
12:30Hi Dylan.
12:32Meet Sophie.
12:33Yeah, no, I know Sophie.
12:35We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
12:37You remember that?
12:39How could I forget?
12:40And damn, Brooke.
12:43You gotta warn me when you dress like this.
12:45Um...
12:46Sophie's the real star here.
12:48You guys should get to know each other.
12:50Hi, Sophie.
12:52Let's, uh, have a drink?
12:54Find a quiet place to chat?
12:56Period.
13:02Ah!
13:04What the?
13:07What the?
13:08Oh my god, your dress!
13:10You bitch!
13:11This dress is sponsored!
13:13Watch where you're walking.
13:14Who the hell are you?
13:15Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:20You better pay for this.
13:21Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single flick.
13:25I'm sorry.
13:26I'll cover the cleaning for you.
13:32Oops!
13:33Accident.
13:34I'm sorry.
13:35Your ugly thrifted sword dress looks even worse.
13:40I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
13:45Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
13:47I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:49Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
13:52And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
13:55She's an A-list publicist.
13:57Ruining reputations is her job.
13:59So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
14:05Take this.
14:07Um...
14:09I didn't expect to see you here.
14:11I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:13You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:17Hmm.
14:18Depends.
14:19What do you have in mind?
14:21A girl who's smart, strong, independent.
14:25Maybe she runs her own business.
14:27That's her way around Hollywood.
14:29Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:33Almost impossible.
14:40Actually, there is someone that you should meet.
14:43Yeah? Who's that?
14:44Lena Turner.
14:45She's one of my clients.
14:47She's one of the best directors in the business.
14:50I'll introduce you two.
14:52It could be good for you.
14:53Is that so?
14:54Mm-hmm.
14:55Lena!
14:56Meet Liam Sterling.
14:58Liam Sterling.
15:00It's so great to meet you.
15:01I've admired you and your work for years.
15:03The feeling is mutual.
15:04Congratulations on the horror film.
15:05Um, you two should work together.
15:08We are working on a new direction for Liam.
15:11Something more serious.
15:12That would be amazing.
15:14I'll leave you two to chat.
15:15Thanks for the introduction.
15:16Anytime.
15:22Hmm.
15:24Well, that was fast.
15:27There's a lot of interaction.
15:32Of course.
15:38Wow.
15:40You look beautiful.
15:41Ethan, shouldn't you be holed up in an office somewhere working late as usual?
15:45Don't look so bummed.
15:47Agents get invited to these things, too.
15:49It's not always just the pretty people.
15:52Speaking of pretty people...
15:54Hmm.
15:55You look jealous.
15:58Why would I be jealous?
16:00Speaking of jealous...
16:01What made you run out so quickly this morning?
16:04Oh, I didn't want to get in the way of you and, um...
16:07What was it?
16:08Liam.
16:09He's just a client, Ethan.
16:13You alright?
16:14Huh?
16:15I asked if you were alright.
16:17Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:20Well, let's get out of here.
16:21I promised Sophie I'd stay with her.
16:25Hmm.
16:26Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:30Alright.
16:31Whisk me away, then.
16:32That's the spirit.
16:37I would have thought that ten years later we would be so successful.
16:41I knew we would be.
16:43I didn't.
16:44When we came out here right after high school, we had zero plan.
16:47You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:50Hey, don't make fun of me.
16:51You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:53Oh, who could forget?
16:55But...
16:57People change.
16:58They grow up.
17:01I don't think you're that different.
17:03Liar.
17:05Hey, take that back.
17:06Okay?
17:07I'm super different.
17:08No.
17:10I still feel the same way with you as I did when we were kids.
17:16And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:19Uh, um...
17:21Well, you're, uh...
17:23You're infuriating.
17:25And...
17:27You're like sunshine when it wets you.
17:30Oh, fuck you up, bro!
17:35Fuck you up, bro!
17:37Is that our action movie guy?
17:38Yeah, it's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:41Niles!
17:42Niles, stop!
17:43Everyone, stop filming!
17:45Move, Li.
17:46You're gonna get in the way.
17:51Oh my god, are you okay?
17:53You fucking got me, huh?
17:55The cops are coming.
17:59Well, he's not gonna get very far.
18:00For action stories, a beer is always so right.
18:08Let me see yours.
18:09It's broken. I know it.
18:11Well, we won't know unless you let me look.
18:18What do you think?
18:21I don't think it's broken.
18:22I think you're gonna be just fine.
18:27You're always taking care of me.
18:30Well, someone has to.
18:32You always get yourself into trouble.
18:35Why are you always the one who has my back?
18:37I guess...
18:39You mean a lot to me.
18:41That's why.
18:43You sure it's not just because you lack control?
18:45I might be a control freak, but that's not why I stick around.
18:52Then why do you?
18:53You think?
19:00I don't know.
19:06We can't.
19:10Why not?
19:14Friends don't do this for students.
19:17I didn't realize friendship had so many rules.
19:20Hey, you're a loopy and I'm tipsy.
19:25How many of those pills did you even take?
19:28I don't know, maybe two?
19:30Or should I take more?
19:34The dosage is one.
19:36You're high off your ass right now.
19:40Okay.
19:42Alright.
19:44Now, time to get sleep before anything gets too crazy.
19:47What's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:49Live a little.
19:50Alright.
19:52Goodnight, Ethan.
19:54Works out fine.
20:01NILES
20:05Oh my god, Niles!
20:08I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:10Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:15Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:17Real warm reception.
20:19What's the deal?
20:21Whatever. Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:23Niles.
20:24I'm going to have to let you go.
20:27I'm sorry.
20:29You're a liability.
20:31You're joking, right?
20:33You hit me in the face.
20:35I would have hit anyone in the face.
20:36It wasn't because it was you.
20:37Bro, I was in the moment.
20:39That's almost worse.
20:41Way worse.
20:42No, this is bullshit.
20:43Okay, I hired you as my publicist to deal with this.
20:46Okay? So make it go away.
20:49I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:51I get clients brand deals and magazine covers.
20:54I make them movie stars.
20:55I can't make criminals look good.
20:57This is so unfair.
20:58Ethan, tell her she's being insane.
21:01I'm dropping you too, Niles.
21:03The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal.
21:05No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:07No, fuck this.
21:08Fuck you and fuck you too.
21:11Okay, you're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:17Well, he took that one.
21:19Yeah, he's going to pay for my nose job if this doesn't heal right.
21:25Your nose is fine.
21:27Perfect, Ethan.
21:29Mind dropping me at the office?
21:31You have a car.
21:33I'm all hopped up on pain medication.
21:34Trust me, you don't want me to drive.
21:37Okay.
21:42Are you sure you're good to go in?
21:45I am more than good.
21:46I am incredible.
21:50Hey, seriously, how am I going to explain this to the team?
21:53Tell them you fought an action star.
21:55They'll understand.
21:57It's actually really badass if you think about it.
22:10It's not my problem anymore.
22:18This is Brooke.
22:20You might hold all the power in Hollywood right now,
22:22but I'm coming for you, Brooke Harrington.
22:28Who is this?
22:30Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult
22:32if you don't start to play nice.
22:43Sophie.
22:44Hi, it's you. What's up?
22:45I had the best night with Dylan.
22:47He is so charming.
22:49We really clicked.
22:50You were so right.
22:51That's good.
22:52I told you so.
22:53Yeah, but there's one tiny red flag.
22:56He kept bringing you up.
22:58Me?
23:00Why?
23:01Don't know.
23:02It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:04Dylan and I?
23:05No, no, no.
23:06He's nothing more than a client.
23:07Okay.
23:08I just didn't want to step on any toes.
23:10I really like him.
23:12You're good.
23:13He's all yours.
23:14Great.
23:15Are we still going to the launch party tonight?
23:17Um...
23:19I think I'm just going to sit this one out.
23:20It's been a lot lately.
23:21Saw Niall's mugshot.
23:23Not his most flattering look.
23:26Definitely not.
23:28Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:31Uh, yeah.
23:32That's a good idea.
23:34You guys should walk the carpet together.
23:36So soon?
23:38Everyone does it.
23:39It's Halloween.
23:40You are the best, Brooke.
23:48Brooke, you came.
23:50This is crazy.
23:51I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:53Well, they had another actress,
23:54but she had a total meltdown,
23:55so Dylan just threw my name into the ring,
23:57and they booked me.
23:59Why are you thanking me?
24:00Well, if I would have never met Dylan,
24:01then I would have never booked this movie.
24:03You're basically better than my agent.
24:05I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:10Speaking of agents...
24:13Um, Ethan reps Dylan Parker.
24:15You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:18Is that it?
24:19It's work.
24:20The usual.
24:21Dealing with Niall's stuff.
24:22You know how it is.
24:23Mm-hmm.
24:24Just work.
24:25He's cute, though.
24:27I'm serious.
24:28It's nothing more than that.
24:29He's like my oldest friend.
24:31Whatever you say.
24:32But you have to introduce me to him soon.
24:34I need a new agent,
24:35and I've heard great things about him.
24:37He is the greatest.
24:38Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer.
24:41Wish me luck.
24:42You are going to do great.
24:43You are going to do great.
24:48You finally showed up.
24:49Well, I don't want to miss it all.
24:52How's it going?
24:53It depends.
24:54You come here to check on Sophie or me?
24:57It better be me.
25:01Well, of course.
25:03How's set?
25:04Well, you know, the usual.
25:06Long hours, a lot of takes.
25:07But Sophie, she is just, she is killing it.
25:09I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star,
25:12her acting definitely would.
25:13I always knew she had it in her.
25:15Yeah, I've been chatting with some of the producers
25:17and they're buzzing about Daily Daily's.
25:19Sophie's performance is top notch.
25:21You should take her on as a client, Ethan.
25:23Her agent sucks.
25:25Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me.
25:28Don't you?
25:30You know, between you and me,
25:32you're the real secret weapon here, Brooke.
25:36I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:38You might as well be.
25:39You know you could be in charge of this.
25:41All right, well, if you're going to take all the credit,
25:43I'm going to go make some calls,
25:44but don't let this guy sweet talk you too much, all right?
25:48Yeah, I did want to chat with you, run some things by you.
25:53Some PR stuff.
25:55Alone.
25:59I'm kind of busy right now, but what did you have in mind?
26:02Yeah, I mean, the PR strategy is good.
26:05I just feel like I could use a little more personal attention.
26:09Personal attention?
26:10You have weekly check-ins on a full day.
26:12What more do you want?
26:13We need some one-on-one time.
26:14Together.
26:15I mean, you are impressive and, like, beyond hot, Brookey.
26:20Um, Dylan, let's focus on your career.
26:25That's what we're here for, right?
26:27I think we could make magic together.
26:30Don't you?
26:35I need to do this.
26:37Call me.
26:40Who is this?
26:42Have you realized your wrongs?
26:47Wrongs?
26:49What are you talking about?
26:51The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore back to glory, the safer you'll be.
26:56Niles, is this you?
26:58Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
27:01This isn't Niles.
27:02Niles, that's exactly what you would say if it was you.
27:05This isn't fucking Niles.
27:07Then who are you?
27:10Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:12And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:18Hey, Ethan.
27:20Have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:23No, just the regular actors being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:27Why, what's wrong?
27:31Psycho fan is trying to get back at me for firing Niles.
27:34Back at you? How?
27:36I don't know yet.
27:37They're being really vague and it's really annoying.
27:40Just block their number.
27:41I tried and then they called me back on a new one.
27:44You actually seem kind of worried. Do you want me to do something about it?
27:50What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:52Hey, I am a big, strong guy.
27:56I can beat him up or give him a chokehold or something.
28:00You're acting like I didn't just watch Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
28:04No, I think you're thinking of someone else.
28:07Yeah, right.
28:09Want me to hang out with you for the day? Keep you company?
28:15No, I have to get downtown for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:19But I'll let you know if I get any more creepy calls.
28:26You're going to be okay. Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:29I forgot you were a hugger.
28:32Thanks, though.
28:34You're welcome.
28:40Sexier. Give me sexy, sexy man.
28:46The camera's appointed to here.
28:50How's everything going?
28:52Not well. They're not interested in the new Liam Sterling.
28:54All they want is a sexy, sexy man.
28:57It's okay. I'll take care of this.
29:01Hi, Enzo.
29:02I'm Brooke, Liam's publicist.
29:05So, we are going for a new direction with Liam.
29:09More serious, less sexy.
29:11So, why don't we try this?
29:14The magazine wants a sexy, shirtless, sweaty, sensual...
29:18Unfortunately, that is not what I agreed upon with the creative team.
29:22So, we're either going to have to use the suit or you're going to have to find a different cover star.
29:28At the last minute!
29:29This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:31Ah, cazzo!
29:33Fine! Suit, change, hurry!
29:37Mamma mia!
29:43Ben fatto!
29:46Bravissimo!
29:48This is way cool.
29:50So fun to see him in the zone.
29:52Liam, what are you doing here?
29:53He invited me to see him in action.
29:55Did he really?
29:57That's so sweet of him.
29:58He really is a sweetheart.
29:59It's not often you meet a guy that handsome that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:03That's definitely rare in our line.
30:06Okay, great job! We got the shot!
30:13Made it.
30:14Thanks for having me. You were great out there.
30:20The suit worked out nicely.
30:23Yeah, thanks again for that.
30:25I don't know what I'd do without you.
30:26What time is the dinner?
30:28Dinner?
30:32Yeah, it's at 7.
30:34We're going to go check out the new sushi spot on Sunset.
30:36I heard the sashimi is to die for. Liam got us reservations.
30:40Super cool.
30:42That sounds fun.
30:43Right?
30:44Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
30:46Liam is amazing.
30:47Of course.
30:48That's my job.
30:50You guys have fun.
30:56Sashimi!
30:57Thanks, girl.
31:02What the hell are you doing?
31:05He's your client.
31:06You don't like him.
31:08You're a professional.
31:10Stop.
31:19You're a strong, independent woman.
31:23You don't need him.
31:27Good morning, Brooke.
31:28You have back-to-back meetings today, and Liam Sterling's on the line.
31:31He said it's urgent.
31:34Can you call him? I'll call him back.
31:35Yeah.
31:41We position Liam as a modern, thoughtful, leading man.
31:44He's pushed past this heartthrob phase, and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:49His next role will be key in redefining his public image.
31:52I like it, but don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:56His fan base may not be ready.
31:58They want abs.
32:03Don't worry.
32:05I have a plan for that.
32:07As you can see here...
32:14There you are.
32:15I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:20I've been in meetings.
32:23What are you doing in my office?
32:26Marker.
32:27Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:29We have to talk about the other thing.
32:32Liam, we can't.
32:34Not now.
32:38We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
32:52Okay.
32:54The other day was intense, but we need to keep things professional.
32:58You have a rebrand to focus on, and I have a company to run.
33:02I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:04And I don't want that either.
33:06But we need to cool it for both of our sakes.
33:19So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:22We're hard launching on social media.
33:24That's great, Soph.
33:26You seem happy.
33:27Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:30People are saying you and Liam Sterling are in a thing.
33:38Me and Liam?
33:40What?
33:41You know how people talk.
33:42I told them it's ridiculous, but you two do spend a lot of time together.
33:46Liam is just a client, nothing else.
33:48Right.
33:49LA people love to gossip.
33:51Anyway, I think Dylan is really serious about us.
34:02Who was that?
34:03Just work.
34:04Always something.
34:06You're still coming to set tonight, right?
34:08I have that huge scene.
34:10I wouldn't miss it.
34:21Cut!
34:45Dylan, I said cut!
34:47Stop punching!
34:51I didn't even realize Lena was directing this film.
34:54Brooke, she said that you're a client.
34:56It's hard to keep working lately.
34:59Are you okay?
35:01You're not your usual obnoxiously organized self lately.
35:06Okay, I'm going to tell you this just because I trust you not to repeat it,
35:10but I am beyond overwhelmed.
35:14Did you get any more of those weird calls?
35:15Yeah, I got a message today.
35:17And that on top of work and some other stuff that I'm dealing with.
35:23Just to...
35:25I think you should get some rest.
35:26I can't.
35:28I promised Sophie I'd stay for her scenes.
35:31She's nervous.
35:35She's lucky to have you.
35:37She's like a little sister to me.
35:39Plus, if I left now, I wouldn't get any sleep anyway, so...
35:44Do you want me to stay over?
35:45Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone.
35:48Like a sleepover.
35:49That actually sounds really nice, Ethan.
35:52Thanks.
35:53I owe you.
35:55Moving on to the next scene!
36:05Dylan, what are you doing here?
36:07It's a woman's dressing room.
36:09You know what I'm doing.
36:13I literally don't.
36:15You know you want to see this.
36:17You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:19You want to see Dylan do fucking work.
36:24No!
36:25Ew!
36:27I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
36:29You're my client. I'm your publicist.
36:32Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
36:34Yeah. Yeah, she's jealous, look.
36:37Then act like it.
36:39Because she really likes you.
36:41And if you're not serious about her, it'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 work together.
36:50You 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.
37:03Motherfucker.
37:05What the fuck, babe?
37:07Brooke, did you see that? This seems so much fun.
37:10Um, is everything okay?
37:13I'm just not feeling too well.
37:16Oh, no. I hope you're not coming down to something.
37:18Um, probably just overworked.
37:21Well, go home. Get some rest.
37:23Are you sure?
37:24I'm positive.
37:25I really appreciate you coming, but I need you well-rested
37:28so that we can party this weekend, okay?
37:30Okay, fair.
37:31But do you have a ride home?
37:32No.
37:33Okay?
37:34Okay, fair.
37:35But do you have a ride home?
37:36Dillon's driving me. I'll see you.
37:42Ready to get out of here?
37:43Beyond ready.
37:54I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
37:56I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
38:02Alright, the windows and doors are locked and the alarm system's on.
38:05Thanks for checking.
38:08You're safe.
38:09Of course, leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank,
38:12or it's Niles being childish again.
38:16You really think so?
38:17I do.
38:19But it's okay to be scared.
38:21I'm here for you.
38:24I don't know how much you mean to me.
38:26Alright, goodnight.
38:28Can you please sleep here with me?
38:30Sure.
38:31Positive.
38:33I'll always be here for you.
38:51Can't sleep?
38:53No.
38:55You either?
38:59There's something that's been on my mind.
39:01There's something I've been wanting to do.
39:15I've wanted this for so long.
39:18Me too.
39:20More than anything.
39:22Me too.
39:53I got you, baby.
39:56I got you, baby.
40:12Good morning.
40:13I made the coffee unbearably strong just the way you like it.
40:16Amazing.
40:18So you feeling better now?
40:19Huh?
40:21After what?
40:22A full night's sleep?
40:23Oh.
40:24Yeah.
40:25I slept great.
40:26Thanks for staying with me.
40:27I finally felt a little safe.
40:28No problem.
40:29Plus, your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:31That's sad enough.
40:35Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:37Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
40:38Cool.
40:43Ethan?
40:44You need a towel.
40:51Um...
40:52I forgot to...
41:01Oh, wait.
41:02We stuck the towels.
41:05Thanks.
41:06Wanna jump in with me?
41:08Shut up, Lee.
41:12Um, I should probably go get that.
41:14Want me to check it out?
41:15No.
41:16No, it's okay.
41:17You shower.
41:18I'll be quick.
41:20Okay.
41:28Liam, what are you doing here?
41:30You've been ignoring my calls.
41:32We're supposed to be distancing.
41:34I'm over that.
41:35Look, can I come inside?
41:36No.
41:39No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:41You're being really weird.
41:42No, I'm being cautious.
41:44Okay?
41:45People can't see us together.
41:47There's already rumors swirling.
41:49So let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:54No one has to know that.
41:56So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:59So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
42:01I don't care, alright?
42:02I like being around you, and I want to explore our connection.
42:08I can't do this, okay?
42:10Brooke, come on, wait.
42:12I'm sorry.
42:19Your shower head's incredible.
42:21Gotta guarantee your designer's contact info.
42:23Yeah, they're great.
42:24I'll get it to you.
42:27Who's at the door?
42:30Um...
42:32Just some girls selling cookies.
42:36Do you want to get breakfast?
42:38No, I'm just gonna head to the office early.
42:41I never turned down breakfast.
42:43I'm just not hungry.
42:45See you later.
42:53So why'd you call me here?
42:54You want to offer me representation again?
42:56I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:59I want to know why you're leaving me these insane messages.
43:06This isn't for me.
43:08Don't bullshit us, Niles.
43:09Tell the truth.
43:11I won't be mad.
43:12I didn't send you this.
43:13What about the creepy voice calls?
43:15The voice changer didn't fool me.
43:17What phone calls?
43:18Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:20Why don't you just admit it?
43:22Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you, but I have a business to run, okay?
43:27Did you do this or not?
43:29Brooke, let me tell you something.
43:31I have court dates, no movie deals, and two excessively large mansions
43:36that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for to keep out of foreclosure.
43:39So no, I didn't have time to go over pranks that you're dealing with.
43:43Okay.
43:44Do you believe him?
43:46I do.
43:47So can I go, or are you going to try to accuse me of 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.
44:02Thanks, partner.
44:07No.
44:11The customer you're trying to reach is not available.
44:14Please call back.
44:18Hi, I question Niles.
44:21Please call me ASAP.
44:34Sophie, what's going on?
44:35I got your text.
44:36What's the emergency?
44:42He broke up with me, Brooke.
44:44What?
44:45When?
44:46When did this happen?
44:47After our last scene.
44:48He said it was because of you that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:52What?
44:53I would never say that.
44:55He's lying.
44:56Then why would he blame you?
44:57I don't know.
44:58I guess he's using me as an excuse.
45:00I feel so stupid.
45:02I really liked him.
45:04We even got these matching bracelets.
45:06You're not stupid.
45:08Okay?
45:09Dylan messed up.
45:10You deserve better.
45:12Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
45:14I swear.
45:15Okay?
45:16He's just avoiding accountability.
45:17He's a douche.
45:18How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:22Sophie.
45:24You're a professional.
45:26Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:28You're right.
45:29Yeah.
45:31Okay.
45:33One second.
45:34It's Ethan.
45:40Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:42Sophie and I have a meeting.
45:43You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:46Busy day.
45:49Sophie.
45:51What's wrong?
45:52Are you okay?
45:53Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:56I'm so sorry to hear that.
45:58Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
45:59Because I totally understand.
46:00No, no, no.
46:01It's okay.
46:02I've been waiting to talk to you.
46:03Great.
46:04So have I.
46:06Um.
46:07Look.
46:08I will see you after I wrap here tonight.
46:11Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:13Uh, yeah.
46:14Sure.
46:16Um.
46:17Ethan.
46:18Call me back whenever you can, okay?
46:19It's really important.
46:21Yeah, okay.
46:32All's good.
46:33It's a big deal.
46:34Damn.
46:35You fucking liar.
46:36What are you talking about?
46:37Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:41You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me.
46:43I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:45You're disgusting.
46:47I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:50I didn't lie to her.
46:53Okay.
46:54I lied.
46:55I lied.
46:56I'm sorry.
46:58I'll apologize to her tonight.
46:59Okay?
47:00You trying to kill my star?
47:03He's a fool when stars clacking.
47:05Can we talk?
47:07In private.
47:12Wow, nice office.
47:14Sit down.
47:17Lena, what's wrong?
47:18Did something happen on set?
47:20You tell me.
47:21Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on, just not on my set.
47:25I don't understand.
47:27I'm talking about you and Liam.
47:31You introduced us, pushed us together, and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:35No, it's not like that.
47:37Bullshit!
47:38Everyone's talking about it.
47:40You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
47:42You think I'm dumb?
47:44Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
47:46There is something going on between us, but...
47:48What? You didn't expect to fall into his bed?
47:51You set us up like pawns in your game and now you want him for yourself?
47:54No, I truly wanted you two to be happy.
47:57You don't care about me.
47:59You only care about your selfish matchmaking games.
48:02You didn't care what this would do to you.
48:04That's not true, Lena.
48:07I'm sorry.
48:08You're sorry you got caught.
48:10Luckily I'm over him.
48:12He really is just a shallow, pretty boy.
48:14Even with your shitty PR memory.
48:16We're done.
48:18Get out.
48:28I'm sorry.
48:47Sophie, I said seven. It's almost eight.
48:49Sorry, we got distracted.
48:52Is that so?
48:53He's so funny.
48:54You have to tell Brooke about the story of your dog in the summer house?
48:57You mean my dog eating the lasagna that his mom made for dinner?
49:01I know that one.
49:03It was there.
49:09Hey, can you go stir the pot on the stove?
49:11I have to talk to Ethan about a jerk client.
49:13You made dinner? On it.
49:18So, I talked to Niles and he swear it wasn't him.
49:21I don't know if we should believe him, but...
49:23I mean, I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind.
49:26What do you think?
49:27I don't know, Brooke.
49:28Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:31Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
49:34No, he's not.
49:35But, clearly you are.
49:38What are you talking about?
49:39I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
49:41I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:43Soph?
49:45Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:47We have a lot in common, okay?
49:48She sees me, Brooke.
49:49Sees you?
49:50What does that even mean?
49:52I...
49:59I was just throwing Niles when this flew through the window.
50:02It wasn't me, I swear.
50:03What is it?
50:09I knew it.
50:10Knew what?
50:14What are you talking about?
50:16Oh my God.
50:21I want to see.
50:24Holy shit, Brooke.
50:26I...
50:27Lied.
50:28You lied to me about the rumors.
50:29You said it was nothing.
50:31I...
50:32I didn't mean to.
50:33I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:34You weren't trying to lie to me.
50:36We're supposed to tell each other everything.
50:37We're best friends.
50:39I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:41So what was I, Brooke?
50:43Just a backup?
50:45Someone to keep around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:47No, Ethan.
50:48It wasn't like that.
50:49I didn't...
50:50I didn't know what you were doing.
50:51What?
50:52I thought...
50:53We were finally...
50:54Going to admit how we felt about each other.
50:57More than friends.
51:01Ethan.
51:02I didn't mean to hurt you.
51:04You hurt us both, Brooke.
51:06I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
51:09I know.
51:10I just...
51:11I didn't want it to be real.
51:12I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
51:14Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:17I thought we had something, Brooke.
51:19I feel it, too.
51:20Brooke.
51:21You need to figure out what you want.
51:23You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
51:25They're not a game, no matter how much you'd like them to be.
51:30I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:32Ethan, I don't understand.
51:33I thought we were just friends.
51:34I didn't...
51:35Bullshit.
51:39After all these years, I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
51:42You are special to me.
51:44Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
51:47And wait.
51:48Save it, Brooke.
52:00Oh, no!
52:01Did my brick end up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
52:04Are you happy now?
52:05Not even close.
52:07You'll pay.
52:08Go to hell.
52:13I said go to hell!
52:14Go!
52:17Whoa, wait.
52:18What did I do?
52:19Liam?
52:20I'm sorry.
52:21I thought you were someone else.
52:22Look, can I come over?
52:23I want to see you.
52:28Fine.
52:32Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
52:34It's not a rumor if it's true.
52:37It's a shame things between us had to cause so much drama.
52:40It's crazy.
52:41I can craft and control all of my clients' public images.
52:46Spin any story around.
52:49Make bad press good.
52:51Shape the way Hollywood sees them.
52:54But when it comes to people I actually care about, I'm powerless.
53:00I have this wall over everything.
53:03Everything's controlled.
53:05It looks easily managed.
53:07But no, in reality, it's such a mess.
53:11I've spent so long creating these perfect lives for everyone else.
53:18I think it's just time for me to be honest about mine.
53:21You know, you can control everybody else's image.
53:23But when it comes to your own life, sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
53:27I should have understood the concept.
53:29For everyone.
53:31For you.
53:33For Lena.
53:34For Ethan.
53:37You know, Ethan's not totally innocent in all this either.
53:41You've been keeping things bottled up for way too long.
53:43I should have just been honest with him.
53:45Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:47You won't lose me.
53:49To be determined.
53:50Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
53:52Just let things happen naturally.
54:01Liam, I'm sorry.
54:03You love Ethan?
54:05Yeah.
54:08I do.
54:09I understand.
54:11And for what it's worth, I think you should go get what you want.
54:14You're not upset?
54:16I am.
54:18But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:28Hi, Ethan.
54:30Surprise, Brooke.
54:32It's you.
54:33Where's Ethan?
54:34Ethan and Sophie are with me.
54:36Let's just say they're safe for now.
54:38You have Sophie too?
54:40Where are you?
54:42Oh, you'll know soon enough.
54:44But here's the thing.
54:45If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:47I'll do anything.
54:48Check your texts.
54:55Let's go.
54:56I'll drive.
55:06Wait.
55:07If things get out of control, you need to run.
55:09Okay?
55:10This doesn't involve you.
55:11I'm not leaving your side.
55:13Okay.
55:18Hello?
55:26Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:28I'm so glad you could make it.
55:30Let them go.
55:31Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
55:33I'll make a great addition to my kill team.
55:35No one's getting killed tonight.
55:38Leah!
55:40No!
55:42Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:51Niles.
55:53You swore that it wasn't Brooke.
55:55I'm a fucking actor.
55:56All we do is lie.
55:58You know, Brooke.
55:59For someone who thinks they hold all the power,
56:01you really are just another stupid, stupid Hollywood girl.
56:06You're insane.
56:07Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
56:09What do I want?
56:11I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:17You think you're untouchable.
56:19PR queen.
56:21Always in control.
56:23But, Brooke.
56:24You're just like the rest of us.
56:26Dispose of it.
56:29This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:32Ego?
56:33No.
56:34Brooke, this is about your company.
56:37Liam.
56:38Sophie.
56:39Ethan.
56:40They stole your attention from me.
56:43But I'm taking it back.
56:45You're wrong, Niles.
56:47PR isn't about power.
56:49It's about helping people.
56:51And I tried to help you, but you're Beyoncé.
56:53Nope.
56:55Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:57It's about control.
56:59Bending people to your will.
57:02Do you really think that you can play Puppet Master forever?
57:13You're quick.
57:14But not quick enough.
57:19Come to help.
57:20I don't think so.
57:23Ah!
57:29Show's over, Niles.
57:31I'm a fucking movie star. You can't kill me.
57:34I'm in control.
57:49Brooke.
57:50Brooke, you really kicked his ass.
57:52Oh my god, you fucked him up.
57:54Brooke, I'm so sorry.
57:56No, this is all my fault.
57:58No, Brooke.
58:00I've wasted the last ten years of my life
58:02hiding the way I felt about you.
58:04I don't want to hide anymore.
58:06I'm so desperately in love with you.
58:08I don't want to spend another day of my life without you by my side.
58:10I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:13Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay?
58:16I'm in love with you, okay?
58:18I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
58:30I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:32I love you, Brooke Harrington.
58:36Guys, I'm... I'm still tied up.
58:44No, it's cool. I got it.
58:46Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:50Hey, can I ask you something?
58:52Anything.
58:54I look, like, really heroic, right?
58:56I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:58Yes, um...
59:00It was fair.
59:04What do you say we get out of here?
59:06That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:08Um, guys?
59:10Where's Niles?
59:12He must have ran off.
59:14He won't get very far.
59:16He's not a very fast runner.
59:34You did good, Brooke.
59:36Couldn't do it without you.
59:38What do you say we take to the carpet dance?
59:40I'd go anywhere with you.
59:44I love you.
