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