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