00:00:00Welcome back. Eddie has showbiz now. Good morning and welcome to Daily News. I'm your host Amanda. Our story today is about Ben Cooper, a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee who made a ripple in the acting industry after his performance in his recent movie Maximizer. His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million to over 100 million just over the span of two days, which is quite an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:00:30Do you have any idea what you've done? I don't know. I'm not sure if I can do this. What did I even do? Well, you're not going to be getting any supporting roles anymore. Why? Because you are going to be the lead. You will be the biggest star.
00:01:00Ever. Fasten your seatbelt, Ben. It's time to fly.
00:01:11Everything just feels so unreal. That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:19What's with the phone?
00:01:21No. I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time. It's best not to respond at all.
00:01:31Now I know what my old managers were doing before all this.
00:01:35Tricks of the trade. But don't you worry. Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you. You are a superstar.
00:01:47Not a moment of peace. Hello?
00:01:59Send me that right now.
00:02:01What is it now? You're scaring me.
00:02:11I think we're in trouble.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:32Please pick up. Please pick up. Hi! Hi! Um, sorry, I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:41Yes, my name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:49There are no sauce left. Um, I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:58No, no, this isn't fair. You need to reconsider me. What? Hello?
00:03:08Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:17Excuse me.
00:03:22I'm tired of telling you I failed, Mum. Well, I mean, I guess she's right. I didn't give up too soon.
00:03:33I think it's time to prove them wrong. You've got this, Blake.
00:03:42Hi, um, I want an appointment with Manager Allen.
00:03:48Yeah, I knew you would refuse. Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:56Screw you. I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:04People just need gossip.
00:04:10Hello?
00:04:13This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:18I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his rumours.
00:04:23He's not in a relationship. Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:28No, it's not about being in a relationship. People are saying that he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:40I've got an important call. I'll call you back.
00:04:43Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:49What?
00:04:52What story? Send her in.
00:04:59Okay, what story? Who are you?
00:05:03Well, uh, there's not really a story as such. It's as important as that.
00:05:13Okay, since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:18I just wanted to come here in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:26Okay.
00:05:28You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:30That's what people say when they don't get a job here.
00:05:32Okay, not getting a job is different. You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:37Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:05:45Are you going to go or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:51Okay, look, um, I'm sorry, I just, I really need a job right now.
00:05:58This isn't a request answer. Please leave.
00:06:03Okay.
00:06:04Well, you know what? I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:10Sorry.
00:06:11Are you blind? Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:17Who was that?
00:06:18Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:22Right.
00:06:27We need to focus on the people who do recognize you.
00:06:30Ben, I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:36I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:06:40It's how they make their money.
00:06:42Is it harmful for my image? Is it?
00:06:46Look, you can date who you want to, but this rumors, like, it ruins your identity.
00:06:54Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:56Obviously not.
00:06:58I've been contacted by Thomas's manager. He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:03Just release a statement.
00:07:04I've been telling the reporters these rumors aren't true, but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:09What difference would a statement make?
00:07:13What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:18Like what?
00:07:19Like, what if I were to date a girl?
00:07:25That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:27Would it kill the buzz?
00:07:29I don't know. It'd put us on the right path to fix Thomas's image and my identity.
00:07:37My question is how.
00:07:42I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:58Everything sucks.
00:08:02You know what? I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:08Nope. Staying here for eternity.
00:08:12It's settled.
00:08:19I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:27But no one wants to go.
00:08:31They never want to laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:57I think...
00:09:02I think I have to go back.
00:09:08This is going to be good.
00:09:14This is going to be good.
00:09:36Nope. Nope.
00:09:40Absolutely not. Not answering any of my scandals.
00:09:56What is it, Mum?
00:10:00Um, hey.
00:10:02Is this Blake?
00:10:04Yeah.
00:10:06Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:08I hope you remember me.
00:10:10You just came to visit me a while ago.
00:10:13Um, yeah. Yeah. Hi.
00:10:16Hello.
00:10:17Hi.
00:10:19Um...
00:10:20Can we meet?
00:10:22I have a job for you.
00:10:37I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:42Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:44Your idea. It's absurd.
00:10:46I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:48Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:50Well, everybody lies. People will believe anything.
00:10:54Well, try this so you can't blame me for not saving you later.
00:10:58Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:11:01She won't go crazy. I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:04You sure?
00:11:06I'm sure.
00:11:10Send her in.
00:11:13I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:11:16Come in.
00:11:20Please, take a seat.
00:11:24Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:26Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:28I didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:30You know, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:34So, I got a job for you.
00:11:38Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:40Oh, sorry. It's not so much of a job.
00:11:44More of a favour.
00:11:51This is all, um...
00:11:55So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:58So you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:12:01Yeah. It's as simple as that.
00:12:04Okay, but...
00:12:06Who's Ben?
00:12:10How do you not know Ben? Like...
00:12:13You haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:12:19I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:22You know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about.
00:12:24Yeah, but still, like...
00:12:26Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:28Me, apparently.
00:12:33I am Ben.
00:12:35Will you do me this favour?
00:12:43No.
00:12:57That was...
00:13:00That was Ben. The...
00:13:03The Ben Cooper.
00:13:08I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:11Oh my god! Oh my god!
00:13:13Oh my god, I'm so stupid not to recognise him.
00:13:17What the...
00:13:22I...
00:13:24I can't do it.
00:13:28I... I...
00:13:30I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:39I guess I've got to keep packing then.
00:13:49I'm so done!
00:14:06Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:19Ew!
00:14:21Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:31Hey.
00:14:35You need to relax.
00:14:39I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:14:41I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:44And on top of that, you're asking me to relax?
00:14:46Are you crazy or what?
00:14:48I told you an excellent plan.
00:14:51Now it's your part to play, just make it work.
00:14:53Yeah, fine, it was an amazing plan.
00:14:56Fine.
00:14:58It was a really good plan.
00:15:00But why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:15:02Why can't I find you another one?
00:15:04A better one, one that's a better actor.
00:15:06No, it has to be this girl.
00:15:08I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:13We can't delay this any longer.
00:15:15I agree. So convince her.
00:15:19Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:15:21And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:27Well, for starters, she's different.
00:15:29Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:32If we want to do this, right?
00:15:35It plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:38It makes it more believable.
00:15:51Yeah, I'm sorry, Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:55Alright, I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:01Alright.
00:16:04Ben's stubbornness girl is the next level.
00:16:11Please pick up, Blake.
00:16:18You need a plan B?
00:16:22Who is it?
00:16:24It's me.
00:16:26Blake.
00:16:28Please come in.
00:16:34Take a seat.
00:16:36I hope we're alone in here.
00:16:38Oh, of course.
00:16:42I knew you'd be back.
00:16:44I need a job, Alan.
00:16:47Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in the birthplace.
00:16:50No, no. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:54Look.
00:16:56Look, I'll do anything, okay?
00:16:59But I can't do this.
00:17:01What will I tell my parents?
00:17:03That I'm someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:05That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:17:08Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:10It's not a job, it's more of a favour.
00:17:15Okay, fine. Then I can't do it then.
00:17:18Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:23I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:25But I can't.
00:17:28I'm really sorry.
00:17:30Blake, please. Come on.
00:17:38Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:17:40You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her and you just let her go?
00:17:43Blake, she didn't give me the chance. She just walked right out.
00:17:46And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:48I've never seen you this way before unless you really respect someone.
00:17:55Oh my God.
00:17:57Oh my God.
00:17:59Ben's fallen in love.
00:18:01No, no, I haven't. It's nothing like that.
00:18:03It's not.
00:18:04Then what? What is it with her?
00:18:06I just think that we need to disprove the rumours as soon as possible.
00:18:09So what, I should just call her right away?
00:18:11Yeah, call her.
00:18:12Ben.
00:18:13Look, Alan, I gave you a job. You failed.
00:18:16Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:18You've got to be kidding me.
00:18:20I've got a family dinner now. Text me her number. Okay?
00:18:24Now.
00:18:29Okay.
00:19:00Hello?
00:19:04Look, I'm busy, so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:07It's Ben.
00:19:10Ben Cooper?
00:19:13Look, if you're busy, then that's okay. I can call tomorrow.
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Um, I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:22Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:24That's okay. We haven't talked before, so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:28Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:19:32You still don't know who I am?
00:19:35Well, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:37Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:39Um, I... I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:46I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:48If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I could meet you at yours?
00:19:52No. No, I'll... 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.
00:20:10Would you like a coffee?
00:20:11Uh, yeah. Thank you.
00:20:16It's a strange studio.
00:20:21Here you are.
00:20:24Here you are.
00:20:34You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:20:37Well, it's my home.
00:20:39I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:42Your home?
00:20:44This is... this is your home.
00:20:47Is that a problem?
00:20:48No! No, I just, um...
00:20:52I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:54It's kind of... intimate.
00:20:57Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:21:01Um, so... what is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:05I wanted to ask, why are you running away from me?
00:21:09I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:11Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:14Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:18You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:21I know.
00:21:22Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:26What if...
00:21:29I offered you a different role?
00:21:33As my secretary.
00:21:36That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name
00:21:40and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:43Um...
00:21:46Okay, well it's still not a job.
00:21:49I want a long-term job.
00:21:51You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:54I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:56How much do you need? Is it about money?
00:21:59No, it's not about money.
00:22:05What if I offered to hire you full-time?
00:22:08Full-time secretary.
00:22:10Permanently.
00:22:12I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:22:16Why me?
00:22:19Because I just like you.
00:22:21I mean, for this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:25Okay, but there are so many other people that you could pick from.
00:22:30There's something different about you.
00:22:34Look, I've offered you the role
00:22:37with a part to play along. Are you in?
00:22:43I'm in.
00:22:55Rio.
00:22:57What are you doing?
00:22:59Don't treat me like this.
00:23:01Then how should I treat my ex?
00:23:03You're not in my world. Can you just get over this already?
00:23:06We're not in a relationship anymore, okay? Just leave.
00:23:10I know.
00:23:13You don't need to pretend.
00:23:15You've mistaken me time and time again, and this is no different.
00:23:19I'm here for you.
00:23:22Just get off, okay? You need to get out.
00:23:30This is the contract.
00:23:33This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:36This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:40We will renew it, of course, so you don't have to worry.
00:23:54I'm sorry.
00:23:57You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:24:00Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:24:02No, no, not at all. I just...
00:24:06I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:11Okay, why do you even need a secretary
00:24:13when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:15Well, I mean, Alan looks after the whole agency,
00:24:19so it's a lot of work for him,
00:24:21and if we can bring someone on board to split up the workload,
00:24:24that'd be helpful.
00:24:27Look, it's my decision, okay?
00:24:29Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:31No, I never said that.
00:24:36All right, well, how about you sign the contract
00:24:38so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:55Welcome. You're hired.
00:24:59Thanks. I'll try my best for you.
00:25:07Relax. You look tense.
00:25:12Um, I could have bought my own food and drinks.
00:25:15You don't have to.
00:25:16Don't be silly. I was buying things for myself,
00:25:18so I'm more than happy to buy you something to eat.
00:25:21Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:25Wrong idea about what?
00:25:27Well, it could easily be seen as that I'm just
00:25:30using my money to get to you.
00:25:32I just want you to know it's not like that.
00:25:34I know.
00:25:38I do.
00:25:39I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:43Seriously?
00:25:44Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry
00:25:47because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:49It was tough, and all that happened before I met Alan.
00:25:54And once I met him, he is such a generous man,
00:25:57and he looked after me like his own part.
00:25:59And now you've met him, too.
00:26:01I...
00:26:03I've put a lot of hard work, and I've struggled through a lot
00:26:06in my career to get to where I am.
00:26:08And I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that
00:26:11because they have something out for me.
00:26:14So that's where you come in.
00:26:18I promise that I'll try my best,
00:26:21even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:23No, it shouldn't.
00:26:24No, it shouldn't.
00:26:25No, it shouldn't.
00:26:26No, it shouldn't.
00:26:27No, it shouldn't.
00:26:28No, it shouldn't.
00:26:29Even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:30No, it shouldn't require you to make any sacrifices.
00:26:34Your dedication is enough.
00:26:40Oh, my God.
00:26:41I'm...
00:26:43I'm so sorry.
00:26:44I'm meeting someone.
00:26:45I've got to go.
00:26:46Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:47No, no, it's okay.
00:26:48Should I...
00:26:49It's not that far.
00:26:50I can just walk.
00:26:51Okay.
00:26:53Bye.
00:26:55See you.
00:26:59Bye.
00:27:08I really should stop reading these.
00:27:13Take a seat.
00:27:24Why did you call me?
00:27:26No, strange of the point.
00:27:29Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:32I wanted to sue you.
00:27:33I would have done that a long time ago.
00:27:35I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:39You really should pay for all the wrong information
00:27:41your stupid article spreads.
00:27:45I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:50I have a task.
00:27:53And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:56I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:59What kind of task?
00:28:03I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:06I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:09You just need to put Ben in the spotlight
00:28:11since you're a well-known reporter.
00:28:17What kind of articles?
00:28:19I'll tell you once you've signed the contract.
00:28:22And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:24If anything gets spread, I won't hesitate,
00:28:26and I'll sue you right away.
00:28:31All right.
00:28:34Consider it done.
00:28:37Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:41Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:55Hey, sorry.
00:29:02Sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:04Oh, that's fine.
00:29:06I should have informed you before coming over.
00:29:08Sorry.
00:29:09No, it's all right.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:14So why are you standing there?
00:29:18What do you mean?
00:29:19I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:20You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:22Is that so?
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:36Hello?
00:29:39Yeah, I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:29:43All right.
00:29:44Okay.
00:29:45Bye.
00:29:46Bye.
00:29:47All right.
00:29:48Okay.
00:29:49Bye.
00:29:51All right, Ben.
00:29:52We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:57Oh, wait.
00:29:58I've got an appointment.
00:30:00Appointment?
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:03It's all right.
00:30:04It's my own personal business.
00:30:05I'll take care of it some other time.
00:30:06No, that's all right.
00:30:07Blake can accompany me.
00:30:09Me?
00:30:11All right.
00:30:13All right, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:17So, are you ready for the task?
00:30:20What task?
00:30:23The task, the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:25Oh, yes.
00:30:27Sorry, I forgot.
00:30:31So, what's the plan?
00:30:35It's your plan.
00:30:36You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:30:40Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:42I'll publicise it.
00:30:44You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:30:48I kind of thought you'd have like a whole script prepared for me.
00:30:52Too busy for that.
00:30:53Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:56Already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:59That'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:07Yes, okay.
00:31:09All right, thank you so much.
00:31:10Bye.
00:31:11Bye.
00:31:14I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:17Oh, well, you know I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:20Sure.
00:31:24Question, by the way.
00:31:27Why don't you have a driver?
00:31:30I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:34Because I like to drive myself.
00:31:36Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:31:39No, you should.
00:31:42Okay.
00:31:45I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:31:50Yeah, well, I have you now.
00:31:52To drive me.
00:31:54You've got your licence, right?
00:31:57I've always loved cars.
00:32:00My dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:32:02Really?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:04Wow.
00:32:05Yeah, I used to help him repair old cars and, you know, he loved to have me by his side.
00:32:11Helping out.
00:32:12Well, why did you stop?
00:32:13You could have helped him to shop here.
00:32:20My dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:25Oh.
00:32:26Yeah.
00:32:29You know, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:33So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:32:36But then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:47And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:32:50I'm so sorry.
00:32:52That's okay.
00:32:54Shall we head home?
00:32:58Yeah.
00:33:06Um.
00:33:14Hey, Alan.
00:33:15Thanks for organising the suit.
00:33:17And thanks for organising Blake's dress too.
00:33:19She loves it.
00:33:20Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:21Alright, gotta go.
00:33:22See you.
00:33:25Alright, I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:26Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:28No, it's fine.
00:33:29No, it's, uh...
00:33:31Oh, I see.
00:33:32Oh, I see.
00:33:33You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit bag?
00:33:37Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:41I didn't...
00:33:43I wasn't...
00:33:44saying...
00:33:47Oh.
00:33:48I was joking.
00:33:50Okay, well, I'm gonna get the suit now.
00:33:51No, you're not!
00:33:55I'm...
00:33:56I'm sorry.
00:33:57No!
00:33:58No, wait.
00:33:59Don't apologise.
00:34:02Um.
00:34:03You know, the suit.
00:34:05I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:08I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:12I'm gonna go grab the suit.
00:34:14Now.
00:34:23Good work.
00:34:29What is it?
00:34:32Your assistant
00:34:34is so rude.
00:34:35How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:38You better teach them some manners,
00:34:39or I'm gonna make a complaint.
00:34:41Ria,
00:34:42your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:45Well, it will when I make
00:34:46a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:49Look,
00:34:50I'm here
00:34:54to give you another chance
00:34:55to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:57You know you can't replace me.
00:35:00Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:35:02Ria.
00:35:04You have to understand
00:35:05you breached your contract
00:35:06when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:08Now that your plans have failed,
00:35:09you cannot come back
00:35:10and knock on my door
00:35:11again and again and again.
00:35:13What are you talking about
00:35:14breached my contract?
00:35:15I went on vacation.
00:35:17Well, you didn't tell me anything.
00:35:19Or Ben.
00:35:20So I took it as your resignation.
00:35:23Okay, so
00:35:24take this
00:35:25and draw up a new contract
00:35:26and let's get back into it.
00:35:28I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:30Ria.
00:35:32My books are full
00:35:33and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:35But we're...
00:35:59Trusting me with a house key, huh?
00:36:10I should let him know.
00:36:12Wait, what if he thinks
00:36:13I haven't read the text?
00:36:15I'll interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:36:29Come on.
00:36:39Ben?
00:36:43Ben.
00:36:58Ben.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:09What?
00:37:11What, you're not going to say hello?
00:37:14Hi.
00:37:16Sorry,
00:37:17I thought you would be busy
00:37:18so I just came.
00:37:19No, that's okay.
00:37:20You've got keys.
00:37:21Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:23Hunger?
00:37:26No.
00:37:27Breakfast?
00:37:28No, I'm good.
00:37:29Let me show you my cooking skills.
00:37:30Come on.
00:37:32Fine.
00:37:42Why does this make you so happy?
00:37:44Oh, because I suck at making coffee
00:37:46and you're really good at this.
00:37:49You want to learn?
00:37:51No, that would be really embarrassing.
00:37:53Please, let me teach you.
00:37:54Then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again.
00:37:57Okay.
00:38:00Like that?
00:38:01Yeah, just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:38:05Okay.
00:38:06You suck at it because you're holding it.
00:38:09Can't all...
00:38:10Just bring it back a little.
00:38:13Just...
00:38:15Just there.
00:38:28Hey, Alan.
00:38:29I know I'm late.
00:38:30Sorry.
00:38:31What's up?
00:38:32What?
00:38:35Alright.
00:38:36Okay.
00:38:38So?
00:38:40Alan says there's an article about us.
00:38:43Come on, let's go.
00:38:58Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:39:01Yeah, me too.
00:39:02Exactly.
00:39:03We haven't even done anything yet.
00:39:05I still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:11But I was just helping her.
00:39:13Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:15What's your problem?
00:39:16Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:39:18Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:39:22Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned
00:39:24but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:39:26You don't think it's too sudden?
00:39:29Too sudden?
00:39:30Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:35Oh.
00:39:36I'm sorry, Blake.
00:39:37I didn't mean that.
00:39:38No.
00:39:39No, it's the truth, right?
00:39:42But that's just a side task.
00:39:44You are my secretary.
00:39:46And it's what you approached me for.
00:39:49It's fine.
00:39:50Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:39:52See?
00:39:53There's no problem here.
00:39:54Okay.
00:39:56Well, let's move it forward.
00:39:57Alright.
00:39:58So, Ben, do you have a plan?
00:40:00Yes.
00:40:02Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:40:12Um...
00:40:14So that is the event we're going to tomorrow.
00:40:17Um...
00:40:19Are you taking me as your date?
00:40:21Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:22Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25No, can't.
00:40:26Can't do that.
00:40:27Too embarrassing.
00:40:28That's what I told Alan.
00:40:31It's not that.
00:40:33I just...
00:40:34I'm ready to do whatever.
00:40:35I just...
00:40:36feel like it might be too much.
00:40:39Eventually,
00:40:40we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:40:43So why drag that?
00:40:46I can see you're worried.
00:40:49It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:40:52I was scared.
00:40:54I didn't know how everyone was going to react.
00:40:57Whether they liked what I'd done,
00:40:59whether they'd hate it.
00:41:01Then I was alone.
00:41:03Your fear is justified, Blake.
00:41:05But you're not alone.
00:41:08We'll do this together.
00:41:13Alright.
00:41:14I'll go with you.
00:41:19I think what we installed...
00:41:24is an opportunity here.
00:41:27For what?
00:41:29May I?
00:41:36Alright.
00:41:37Act natural.
00:41:38Let's leave.
00:41:40Are you going home now?
00:41:42Yeah.
00:41:43Yeah, no.
00:41:44I will miss my bus,
00:41:45so I should rush.
00:41:47I have something that I need to show you.
00:41:49Would you mind coming with me?
00:41:52Um...
00:41:53Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:41:54It'll just be a minute,
00:41:55and I think I have a solution for that.
00:41:58Okay.
00:42:00This is for you.
00:42:03I think I have a solution for that.
00:42:06Okay.
00:42:08This is for you.
00:42:10Oh, a key to your car now, too?
00:42:12A key to your car.
00:42:15What are you talking about?
00:42:17I bought you a car.
00:42:20Um...
00:42:22Are you serious?
00:42:24It's just for your work,
00:42:26so you can drive me places
00:42:28and get home alright.
00:42:30I don't mind taking the bus,
00:42:32Ben, it's fine.
00:42:33I know you're fine,
00:42:34but, I mean,
00:42:35you drive me home
00:42:36and then you struggle
00:42:37to get home yourself,
00:42:38and...
00:42:39No, I think it'll help you.
00:42:42I...
00:42:43Please, take it.
00:42:45Okay?
00:42:46It'll make me happy.
00:42:47And you need to practice
00:42:48your driving skills, so...
00:42:50Um...
00:42:53Thank you!
00:43:01Thank you, Ben.
00:43:07I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:19There is no way
00:43:20I kissed Ben Cooper today.
00:43:25I'm sorry.
00:43:27I'm sorry.
00:43:29I'm sorry.
00:43:32Oh, God.
00:43:33No.
00:43:34No.
00:43:36Just my job.
00:43:38It's just my job.
00:43:46Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:55Hello?
00:43:58Listen.
00:43:59We cannot comment on anything right now,
00:44:01but please try and stay away from the rooms.
00:44:05Yes.
00:44:06Just try and avoid the rooms.
00:44:07Thank you very much.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:11Bye.
00:44:13Ben, what the hell?
00:44:16What do you mean?
00:44:17You told me to go ahead,
00:44:18and I did it.
00:44:19This is just the start.
00:44:21You freaking kissed...
00:44:23Blake.
00:44:24I thought you were gonna start small,
00:44:25by, like,
00:44:26giving her a handshake
00:44:27or just a hug.
00:44:30Is it working?
00:44:34That's the goal.
00:44:37What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:44:40Explain yourself!
00:44:42Explain what and why?
00:44:45Don't play dumb with me.
00:44:46You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:44:49I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:44:52All right?
00:44:53I thought we were minding our own business.
00:44:55You're so stuck in the past.
00:44:57Can you get over that already?
00:44:59You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:45:03Just when are you gonna drop that?
00:45:06I thought we were exclusive.
00:45:08What happened to us?
00:45:11Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:45:14We're broken up.
00:45:16You never actually broke up with me.
00:45:18Oh, jeez.
00:45:19You left me.
00:45:22You told me to mind my own business.
00:45:24You treated me like garbage.
00:45:25And you expect me to what?
00:45:26You come in here and I forgive you?
00:45:28Okay, Ben.
00:45:29Ben, calm down.
00:45:30No, no.
00:45:32You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:45:37Ben.
00:45:38Alan, just please ask her to leave.
00:45:39Okay.
00:45:40Maria.
00:45:41Please.
00:45:48So you're Blake.
00:45:51Hey, Blake.
00:45:52Hey, Blake.
00:45:54Let me drive you back to my place.
00:45:56Okay?
00:46:06I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:46:09You know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:46:12Why is that?
00:46:14Because you don't pay attention to the road and
00:46:17you don't think when you're angry.
00:46:19I didn't disagree.
00:46:21I'm being serious.
00:46:23Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:46:26I like to drive to distract myself.
00:46:29I can't help it.
00:46:31Oh.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:34What do you do when you're angry?
00:46:38Um.
00:46:41I guess I just
00:46:44like to go somewhere alone and then
00:46:47let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:46:51I usually drive alone.
00:46:54Well, you don't have to anymore.
00:46:56You've got me now.
00:46:58Always?
00:47:04Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:47:06I am very busy, as you know.
00:47:09I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:47:12I can tell.
00:47:14I can teach you.
00:47:17I'd like that.
00:47:31I overdid it, didn't I?
00:47:33No.
00:47:34You look perfect.
00:47:37I promise.
00:47:39You look beautiful.
00:47:40I can see you're nervous.
00:47:42Don't be.
00:47:43I'll be with you the entire time.
00:47:46I just, I don't want to faint, Ben.
00:47:48I really want to help you out.
00:47:50And if you really want to help me out,
00:47:51then just stop pretending.
00:47:53Okay, be yourself.
00:47:55Let me worry about the rest.
00:47:57Okay.
00:47:58Look, the plan is
00:48:00to make everyone think that we're a real couple.
00:48:03So I found a place by a lake
00:48:05that is famous for being
00:48:06for celebrity couples being spotted there.
00:48:08So with any luck, after tonight,
00:48:10everyone will believe that we're a real couple.
00:48:13Well, let's just hope that's successful then.
00:48:19Shall we complete the look?
00:48:21Please.
00:48:39Done.
00:48:40Let's go.
00:48:49Are you okay?
00:48:51I just, um,
00:48:52I forgot that so many people might be watching us.
00:48:55Just remember,
00:48:56we're making the headlines for tomorrow.
00:48:59Yeah, no, that's horrifying.
00:49:03You know, I thought it would, um,
00:49:05it would just be, you know, fake laughing with you,
00:49:07but, um,
00:49:09it's actually kind of real.
00:49:12Well, I told you.
00:49:14I like you because you're real.
00:49:16All these other girls that I've met before,
00:49:19like, they all know who I am.
00:49:21Like, before you,
00:49:22I hadn't met someone that didn't know me.
00:49:25Someone that wasn't already obsessed with me.
00:49:35Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:49:37Yeah, should we go?
00:49:38Let's go.
00:49:44You wait here, I'll go get the car.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:52Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:49:57You know he's just using you.
00:49:59Always does that.
00:50:03What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:50:05Ben is mine.
00:50:07I won't let you steal him from me.
00:50:09Really?
00:50:10Stop being delusional.
00:50:11He wants nothing to do with you.
00:50:21Don't you ever mess with me.
00:50:38Hey.
00:50:44Wait, what happened?
00:50:47Just hang on.
00:50:48Stay where you are, I'm coming.
00:50:49Okay?
00:50:51Blake.
00:50:52Hey.
00:50:53Hey, Blake.
00:50:55What happened?
00:50:56Are you okay?
00:51:00You said Ria did something?
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04Let's get you home.
00:51:10I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I'm so sorry.
00:51:15I don't want to talk about it, Ben.
00:51:17That's okay.
00:51:19That's okay.
00:51:20I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:51:22I'm so sorry.
00:51:24Yeah, let's go home.
00:51:35Um, do you want your jacket back?
00:51:37No.
00:51:38No, you keep it.
00:51:41You can take the car, I can just take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:44No, no.
00:51:45I'll take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:46You keep the car.
00:51:48Please, Blake.
00:51:52Hey, can we...
00:51:53Can we talk?
00:51:55Is your place alright?
00:51:57No, no.
00:51:58It's fine.
00:51:59I was...
00:52:00It's silly.
00:52:01No.
00:52:02It's um...
00:52:03It's um...
00:52:06Come on in.
00:52:07Okay.
00:52:17Um...
00:52:19Sorry, it's very small.
00:52:20No, it's...
00:52:21It's cozy.
00:52:24Listen, about today, I...
00:52:27I don't have the words.
00:52:29I feel ashamed.
00:52:30It's fine, Ben.
00:52:32No, it's not.
00:52:35Every job has its challenges and this is just...
00:52:37Please, please stop.
00:52:41Okay, this is something that can never be justified.
00:52:48I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:52:54Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me.
00:52:56I'm just your secretary.
00:52:59You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary.
00:53:04You're more than that to me.
00:53:10What do you mean?
00:53:14I mean...
00:53:18I think...
00:53:20I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:53:23Since...
00:53:24Since when?
00:53:25To be honest, I don't know.
00:53:28I mean, when I...
00:53:29When I first met you, I wanted to get to know you better.
00:53:33And I spoke to Alan and we had a role for you to play.
00:53:38But I want you to know that I have loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:53:46But after today, if you want to end the time we've spent together,
00:53:50after today, if you want to end the contract here,
00:53:53that's okay. I understand.
00:53:57And please, don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:54:01I just want it to be true to myself.
00:54:11Can I kiss you?
00:54:13Because I... I really want to.
00:54:20Okay.
00:54:34Yes?
00:54:38Send her in.
00:54:43What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of things.
00:54:46Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene.
00:54:50When will she leave us alone?
00:54:52What did she do exactly?
00:54:54Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
00:54:59And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
00:55:03And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
00:55:09She's really crossed the line this time.
00:55:11Write an article about this. We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
00:55:16Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm only paid to write for Ben.
00:55:31Consider it done.
00:55:38Who is this?
00:55:39She's a reporter.
00:55:40And what are you doing here?
00:55:42Look, I hired her.
00:55:50Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
00:55:52It wasn't important.
00:55:54The heck, Alan, you hired the reporter. You know what she's done.
00:55:58I know, I know, I know. But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:56:02Of course! Right? She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
00:56:08Look, she wrote those articles.
00:56:09I know, I know. Please, take a seat.
00:56:14She wrote those articles on you in the first place, therefore she has the audience we need.
00:56:19Don't you see?
00:56:21She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died.
00:56:25This is because people trust her.
00:56:27One good deed does not make her a good person, okay? I don't trust her.
00:56:30I know, I know. I don't trust her either.
00:56:35But I've got a plan, okay? She is useful.
00:56:40Still.
00:56:42Ben, in my years of managing I've learnt one thing.
00:56:47Sometimes you need to take the risk.
00:56:51Whatever. Okay, I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
00:56:55No.
00:56:56Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
00:56:57No, I know. It's so sad what happened to her last night.
00:57:01Wait.
00:57:03Wait, where is she? Why isn't she with you?
00:57:06Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:57:08We can't do this without her. How are we going to do it?
00:57:11She's just taking a break today.
00:57:13Everything's fine.
00:57:15But I do need to tell you something.
00:57:32It smells so good.
00:57:36What time did you wake up?
00:57:37I woke up just after you left.
00:57:41I can't stay away from you for long.
00:57:59Food's ready.
00:58:00Food's ready.
00:58:07Can we eat later?
00:58:14Alright.
00:58:23Why did you call?
00:58:25Don't play dumb with me.
00:58:27Don't feed me.
00:58:29Fear you.
00:58:31I mean, why else?
00:58:32Why would you call this soon?
00:58:34Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:37Can you keep it down?
00:58:39Someone could hear us.
00:58:40It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me.
00:58:44How many times do I have to tell you? This is not about defaming Ben.
00:58:48I just wanted him to get back with me.
00:58:52But I do need your help.
00:58:53I have some intel on Blake.
00:58:56I think you're going to want to hear it.
00:59:04Their relationship.
00:59:06The whole thing was fake.
00:59:08They've got a contract.
00:59:10It's all for mother's day.
00:59:12Expose her.
00:59:14Ria, this isn't enough.
00:59:16I know that.
00:59:23That should be enough.
00:59:27Now, do it.
00:59:29Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:34And if you do it, and it works, I'll agree to go on a date with you.
00:59:41Do you promise?
00:59:43Promise.
00:59:45Anything for a date with you.
00:59:54Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:57Say it with a smile. Be nice, Alan.
01:00:01Do whatever you want to do.
01:00:04See, that's what I'm talking about.
01:00:08Well, how do you want to go about this? People already know you're dating.
01:00:11Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct about our relationship status.
01:00:17Alright.
01:00:18What about you, Blake?
01:00:20Your contract?
01:00:21Look, let's just end the contract here.
01:00:24We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:00:27Alright.
01:00:29And what about your secretary job?
01:00:31Still going to continue with that?
01:00:34Yeah, I'll still keep my job, Alan.
01:00:37Alright. Well, she's made up her mind.
01:00:39No.
01:00:51No way.
01:00:54You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:01:03I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:01:05Yeah, let me see.
01:01:06You need to clear it.
01:01:07I'm going to go see Blake. She's not feeling well.
01:01:09Look, of course, of course. I understand.
01:01:13You need to listen to me for a second.
01:01:17I'm sorry.
01:01:19I shouldn't have hired Alan.
01:01:21Yeah, I told you that before.
01:01:23But you didn't listen to me.
01:01:25And now we're here, okay?
01:01:26She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:01:29Including her home address in the village.
01:01:30She's not safe anymore.
01:01:32What am I supposed to...
01:01:33Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:35How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:36Just...
01:01:37Just talk to her.
01:01:38I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:40You do your job.
01:01:42I'll do mine.
01:01:54What's in the bag?
01:01:57Where are you going?
01:02:00Hey.
01:02:02You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:02:06What does it look like to you, Ben?
01:02:07I'm leaving.
01:02:09No, you can't leave.
01:02:11We can fix this. It's not...
01:02:12No, no.
01:02:13Everything about me is on the internet, okay?
01:02:15I can't take it anymore.
01:02:17People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:02:20You're not fake.
01:02:23Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:02:24I can fix everything.
01:02:27I can't do this anymore, Ben.
01:02:29This isn't me.
01:02:30This isn't who I am.
01:02:31Blake.
01:02:32I love you so much.
01:02:34Just...
01:02:36Let me do something to fix it.
01:02:37I promise.
01:02:38Go.
01:02:40Just go.
01:02:41I can't.
01:02:42I can't do this anymore.
01:02:45Just go.
01:03:00Good work, Oliver.
01:03:02Anything for you?
01:03:03Nothing for you.
01:03:06So, um...
01:03:08Where's your part of the deal?
01:03:10I think I already paid you.
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:13No, you did.
01:03:15I'm talking about our date.
01:03:19Oliver.
01:03:21I was just kidding.
01:03:24You were kidding?
01:03:26Yeah, I...
01:03:27I thought you realised that.
01:03:29Look.
01:03:30We're just so different.
01:03:34What do you mean by that?
01:03:36Well...
01:03:38Let's just say I'm really useful to lots of different journalists.
01:03:43They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:48Wait, so you think I can't do my job without you?
01:03:52Obviously.
01:03:53I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:57Wow.
01:04:00But...
01:04:02I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:04:04I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:04:07You understand.
01:04:12Okay.
01:04:13Thanks for everything, though.
01:04:18On the same level as you.
01:04:23We'll see about that.
01:04:32Hello?
01:04:35Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:04:36Ben's sick right now.
01:04:37That's why he wasn't on set today.
01:04:39Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot, that would be amazing.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:45Yeah, thank you very much.
01:04:46Alright.
01:04:48Okay, bye.
01:04:57Please pick up, Ben.
01:05:02This is the legal notice I'm writing you.
01:05:07Find and double the amount paid.
01:05:13It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:17It's not negotiable.
01:05:23I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:28Fine.
01:05:29But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:05:32Let's take down Ria together.
01:05:37Are you loyal to nobody?
01:05:38You really are a piece of work.
01:05:40Ria betrayed me.
01:05:42So I want to take her down.
01:05:46Alright.
01:05:48But if you double-cross me again, I'll make your life a living hell.
01:05:52Ria paid me from the very start to write about Ben.
01:05:55Ria paid me from the very start to write about Ben.
01:05:59She started all this.
01:06:11I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:17Blake deserves all the happiness in the world.
01:06:25Ria.
01:06:32What?
01:06:34Ria, the headliner sent you.
01:06:36Ria.
01:06:53I understand your decision to leave.
01:06:56But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:07:00But in the end, it's your life. I won't force you to do anything.
01:07:07Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:07:12She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:07:15The chats have been made public.
01:07:19Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:07:23And we'll write a statement for you.
01:07:25And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:07:30It's fine, Alan.
01:07:32You don't have to waste all that money on me.
01:07:34I'm just a regular person.
01:07:37So what?
01:07:39Regular people don't deserve respect.
01:07:47You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked so hard to achieve.
01:07:55That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:07:58And I would really appreciate it if you could not tell Ben about this, please.
01:08:08Blank.
01:08:10Just take the check, please.
01:08:15I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:08:19See ya.
01:08:34Thank you for bearing with me.
01:08:42Why are you here, Ben?
01:08:44So, you've decided to leave?
01:08:47That's alright.
01:08:49Just let me drop you off.
01:08:51Ben, I...
01:08:52Please. One last time?
01:08:57Fine.
01:08:58Okay.
01:09:05You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:09:08I don't deserve to have you.
01:09:11All I've done is just cause you trouble, and you've had enough trouble because of me.
01:09:17So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:24It's not about you, Ben.
01:09:28You have dedicated your entire life to your career, and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:09:33All that matters to me is you.
01:09:36And without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:40I know, Ben.
01:09:42I'm glad you are.
01:09:48I'm gonna, um...
01:09:49I'm gonna walk from here. You shouldn't come.
01:09:58Hey.
01:10:01Do you want to come meet my family?
01:10:11Will.
01:10:27Will.
