Transcript
00:00:00Welcome back, Eddie has showbiz now.
00:00:02Good morning, and welcome to Daily News.
00:00:05I'm your host, Amanda.
00:00:07Our story today is about Ben Cooper,
00:00:09a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee
00:00:12who made a ripple in the acting industry
00:00:13after his performance in his recent movie, Maximizer.
00:00:17His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million
00:00:21to over 100 million just over the span of two days,
00:00:24which is quite an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:00:30Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:00:39I don't know.
00:00:40I'm not sure if I can do this.
00:00:44What did I even do?
00:00:45Well, you're not going to be getting
00:00:48any supporting roles anymore.
00:00:50Why?
00:00:51Because you are going to be the lead.
00:00:58You will be the biggest star ever.
00:01:02Fasten your seatbelt, Ben.
00:01:04It's time to fly.
00:01:12Everything just feels so unreal.
00:01:14That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:20What's with the phone?
00:01:23No.
00:01:25I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time.
00:01:29This is best not to respond at all.
00:01:32Now I know what my old managers were doing before all this.
00:01:36Tricks of the trade.
00:01:37But don't you worry.
00:01:38Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:43You are a superstar.
00:01:46Another moment of peace.
00:01:52Send me that right now.
00:02:02What is it now?
00:02:03You're scaring me.
00:02:04I think we're in trouble.
00:02:18Please pick up, please pick up.
00:02:34Hi.
00:02:35Hi.
00:02:36Um, sorry.
00:02:37I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:41Yes, my name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:47There are no sauce left.
00:02:51Um, I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:56No, no, this isn't fair.
00:03:00You need to reconsider me.
00:03:02What?
00:03:03Hello?
00:03:04What?
00:03:05Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:03:09I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:14Excuse me.
00:03:19I'm tired of telling you I failed, Mum.
00:03:24Well, I mean, I guess she's right.
00:03:27I gave up too soon.
00:03:32I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:03:37You've got this, Blake.
00:03:42Hi, um, I want an appointment with Manager Allen.
00:03:48Yeah, I knew you would refuse.
00:03:50Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:56Screw you.
00:03:59I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:04People just need gossip.
00:04:10Hello?
00:04:21This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:26I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his rumours.
00:04:31He's not in a relationship.
00:04:33Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:36Oh, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:04:39People are saying that he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:48I've got an important call. I'll call you back.
00:04:51Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:57What?
00:05:00What story?
00:05:01Send her in.
00:05:07Okay, what story? Who am I?
00:05:11Well, uh, there's not really a story as such.
00:05:16It's as important as that.
00:05:22Okay, since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:27I just wanted to come here in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:34Okay.
00:05:36You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:39That's what people say when they don't get a job here.
00:05:41Okay, not getting a job is different. You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:46Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:05:54Are you going to go or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:06:00Okay, look, um, I'm sorry, I just, I really need a job right now.
00:06:07This isn't a request to answer. Please leave.
00:06:12Okay, well you know what? I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:19Sorry.
00:06:20Are you blind?
00:06:22Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:26Who was that?
00:06:27Of course nobody.
00:06:30Right.
00:06:36We need to focus on the people who do recognize you.
00:06:39Ben, I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:45I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about you.
00:06:49It's how they make their money.
00:06:51Is it harmful for my image? Is it?
00:06:55Look, you can date who you want to, but these rumors, like, it ruins your identity.
00:07:03Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:07:05Obviously not.
00:07:07And I've been contacted by Thomas' manager. He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:11Just release a statement.
00:07:13I've been telling the reporters these rumors aren't true, but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:18What difference would a statement make?
00:07:22What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:27Like what?
00:07:28Like, what if I were to date a girl?
00:07:34That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:36Well, it would kill the buzz.
00:07:38I don't know, it'd put us on the right path to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:07:46My question is how.
00:07:51Brilliant idea.
00:08:09Everything sucks.
00:08:13You know what? I've decided. I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:17No. I'm staying here. For eternity.
00:08:21It's settled.
00:08:29I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but I've got nowhere else to go.
00:08:39I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:47I'm sorry.
00:08:49I'm sorry.
00:08:51I'm sorry.
00:09:15I think...
00:09:19I think I have to go back.
00:09:25I guess it's time to go.
00:09:27Nope. Nope.
00:09:49Definitely not.
00:09:51Not answering.
00:09:53Oh, scampers.
00:10:05What is it, Mum?
00:10:09Um, hey.
00:10:11Is this Blake?
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:15Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:17I hope you remember me.
00:10:19You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:10:21Um, yeah. Yeah. Hi.
00:10:25Hello.
00:10:27Hi.
00:10:29Can we meet?
00:10:31I have a job for you.
00:10:45I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:51Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:53Your idea. It's absurd.
00:10:55I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:57Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:59Well, everybody lies. People will believe anything.
00:11:03Well, try this, so you can't blame me for not saving you later.
00:11:07Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:11:11She won't go crazy. I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:13You sure?
00:11:15I'm sure.
00:11:17Send her in.
00:11:19I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:11:23Come in.
00:11:27Please, take a seat.
00:11:31Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:33Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:35I didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:37Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:41So, I got a job for you.
00:11:45I got a job for you.
00:11:47Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:49Oh, sorry. It's not so much of a job.
00:11:53More of a favour.
00:12:01This is all, um...
00:12:05So, what do you think, Blake?
00:12:07So, you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:12:11Yeah. It's as simple as that.
00:12:13Okay, but...
00:12:15Who's Ben?
00:12:19How do you not know Ben?
00:12:21Like...
00:12:23You haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:12:29I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:31You know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about.
00:12:33Yeah, but still, like...
00:12:35Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:37Me, apparently.
00:12:39I am Ben.
00:12:41Will you do me this favour?
00:12:49No.
00:13:05That was...
00:13:07That was...
00:13:09That was Ben.
00:13:11The...
00:13:13The Ben Cooper.
00:13:19I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:21Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:13:23Oh, my God. I'm so stupid not to recognise him.
00:13:27What the...
00:13:33I...
00:13:35I can't do it.
00:13:39I...
00:13:41I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:49I guess I've got to keep backing Ben.
00:13:59That's so Ben!
00:14:05Yeah.
00:14:17Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:29Ew!
00:14:31Okay, I would rather die than marry that...
00:14:33Bastard.
00:14:41Hey.
00:14:45You need to relax.
00:14:49I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:14:51I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:55And on top of that, you're asking me to relax?
00:14:57Are you crazy or what?
00:14:59I told you an excellent plan.
00:15:01Now it's your part to play. Just make it work.
00:15:03Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:15:07Fine. It was a really good plan.
00:15:09But why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:15:11Why can't I find you another one?
00:15:13A better one. One that's a better actor.
00:15:15No. It has to be this girl.
00:15:17I told you, if I'm doing this,
00:15:19she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:21Ben.
00:15:23We can't delay this any longer.
00:15:25I agree. So convince her.
00:15:27Come on.
00:15:29Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:15:31And if it's reasonable,
00:15:33I will do whatever you want.
00:15:37Well, for starters, she's different.
00:15:39Right? When I first met her,
00:15:41she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:43If we want to do this,
00:15:45it plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:47It makes it more believable.
00:15:57Yeah.
00:16:01Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:16:03Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:16:05All right.
00:16:07I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:16:09Yeah.
00:16:11All right.
00:16:17Ben's stubbornness girl is the next level.
00:16:23Please pick up, Blake.
00:16:27I need a plan B.
00:16:31Who is it?
00:16:33It's me.
00:16:35Blake.
00:16:37Please come in.
00:16:43Take a seat.
00:16:45I hope we're learning here.
00:16:47Oh, of course.
00:16:51I need to be back.
00:16:53I need to go.
00:16:55I need a job, Alan.
00:16:57Oh, of course.
00:16:59It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:17:01No, no.
00:17:03A proper job with a proper designation.
00:17:05Look.
00:17:07Look, I'll do anything.
00:17:09Okay?
00:17:11But I can't do this.
00:17:13What will I tell my parents?
00:17:15That I'm someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:17That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:17:19Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:21It's not a job.
00:17:23Okay.
00:17:25Fine.
00:17:27Then I can't do it then.
00:17:29Blake, please.
00:17:31Help us with this.
00:17:35I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:37But I can't.
00:17:39I'm really sorry.
00:17:41Blake, please.
00:17:43Come on.
00:17:49Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:17:51You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her
00:17:53and you just let her go?
00:17:55Blake, she didn't give me the chance. She just walked right out.
00:17:57And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:59Like, I've never seen you this way before
00:18:01unless you really respect someone.
00:18:07Oh, my God.
00:18:09Oh, my God.
00:18:11Ben's fallen in love.
00:18:13No, no, I haven't. It's nothing like that.
00:18:15It's not.
00:18:17Then what? What is it with her?
00:18:19Let's prove the rumours as soon as possible.
00:18:21So what, I should just call her right away?
00:18:23Yeah, call her.
00:18:25Ben.
00:18:27Look, Alan, I gave you a job. You failed.
00:18:29Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:31You've got to be kidding me.
00:18:33I've got a family dinner now. Text me her number.
00:18:35Okay?
00:18:37Now.
00:18:49Text me her number.
00:18:51Hello?
00:19:17Hello?
00:19:21Look, I'm busy,
00:19:23so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:25It's Ben.
00:19:27Ben Cooper?
00:19:31Look, if you're busy, then that's okay.
00:19:33I can call tomorrow.
00:19:35No.
00:19:37I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:39Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:41That's okay.
00:19:43We haven't talked before, so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:45Yeah, I mean, who would expect
00:19:47a call from you after all?
00:19:49You still don't know who I am?
00:19:51Well, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:53Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:55Um...
00:19:57I... I'm busy tomorrow.
00:19:59Sorry.
00:20:03I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:20:05If you can't come out to my place,
00:20:07then maybe I could meet you at yours?
00:20:09No.
00:20:11No, I'll... I'll come.
00:20:15Great. I'll text you the address.
00:20:17See you tomorrow.
00:20:27Why don't you have a seat?
00:20:29Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:31Would you like a coffee?
00:20:33Yeah, thank you.
00:20:37It's a strange studio.
00:20:41Here you are.
00:20:47You're welcome.
00:20:51You don't have anyone
00:20:53to look after this place?
00:20:55Well, it's my home.
00:20:57I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:59Your home?
00:21:01This is...
00:21:03This is your home.
00:21:05Is that a problem?
00:21:07No! No, I just, um...
00:21:09I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:21:11It's kind of...
00:21:13intimate.
00:21:15I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:21:19Um, so...
00:21:21What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:23I wanted to ask,
00:21:25why are you running away from me?
00:21:27I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:29Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:31Whatever it is,
00:21:33I only want you for it.
00:21:37You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:39I know.
00:21:41Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:43What if...
00:21:47I offered you a different role?
00:21:49As my secretary?
00:21:55That way you could have a
00:21:57respectable prefix added to your name
00:21:59and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:22:01Um...
00:22:03Okay.
00:22:05Well, it's still not a job.
00:22:07I want a long-term job.
00:22:09You know, your conditions will only
00:22:11hold me for some time. I'll have to leave in the end.
00:22:13How much do you need?
00:22:15Is it about money?
00:22:17No, it's not about money.
00:22:23What if I...
00:22:25offered to hire you full-time?
00:22:27Full-time secretary.
00:22:29Permanently.
00:22:31I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:22:35Why me?
00:22:37Because I just like you.
00:22:39I mean, for this role,
00:22:41I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:43Okay, but there are so many other
00:22:45people that you could pick from.
00:22:49There's something different about you.
00:22:51Look,
00:22:53I've offered you the role
00:22:55with a part to play along.
00:22:57Are you in?
00:23:03I'm in.
00:23:09I'm in.
00:23:15Rio.
00:23:17What are you doing?
00:23:19Don't treat me like this.
00:23:21Then how should I treat my ex?
00:23:23You're not in that world.
00:23:25Can you just get over this already?
00:23:27We're not in a relationship anymore, okay?
00:23:29Just leave.
00:23:31I know you.
00:23:33Just...
00:23:35You don't need to pretend.
00:23:37You've saved me time and time again,
00:23:39and this is no different.
00:23:41I'm here for you.
00:23:43Just get off, okay?
00:23:45You need to get out.
00:23:51This is the contract.
00:23:55This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:59We will renew it, of course,
00:24:01so you don't have to worry.
00:24:07I'm sorry,
00:24:09um,
00:24:11you're giving me a million dollars
00:24:13for this job.
00:24:15Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:24:17No, no, not at all.
00:24:19I just...
00:24:21I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:27Okay, why do you even need a secretary
00:24:29when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:31Well, I mean,
00:24:33Alan looks after the whole team,
00:24:35so it's a lot of work for him,
00:24:37and if we can bring someone on board
00:24:39to split off the workload,
00:24:41that'd be helpful.
00:24:43Look, it's my decision, okay?
00:24:45And, Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:47No, I never said that.
00:24:53Well, how about you sign the contract
00:24:55so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:57Welcome.
00:24:59You're hired.
00:25:01Thanks.
00:25:03I'll try my best for you.
00:25:11Oh, Alan,
00:25:13I'm so glad you're here.
00:25:15It's been a long time.
00:25:17It's been a long time.
00:25:19It's been a long time.
00:25:21It's been a long time.
00:25:23It's been a long time.
00:25:26Relax.
00:25:28You look tense.
00:25:32Um, I could have bought my own food and drinks.
00:25:34You didn't have to.
00:25:36Don't be silly, I was buying things for myself,
00:25:38so I'm more than happy to buy you some things.
00:25:41Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:45Wrong idea about what?
00:25:47Well, it could easily be seen
00:25:49as that I'm just using my money to get to you.
00:25:52I just want you to know,
00:25:54I just want you to know, it's not like that.
00:25:56I know.
00:25:59I do.
00:26:01I used to struggle for work, too.
00:26:05Seriously?
00:26:06Yeah, well there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food.
00:26:10It was tough, and all that happened before I met Al.
00:26:16And once I met him, he is such a generous man, and he looked after me like his own part.
00:26:21And now you've met him, too, so you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:27I... I've put a lot of hard work, and I've struggled through a lot in my career to get to where I am,
00:26:34and I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that because they have something out for me.
00:26:40So that's where you come in.
00:26:44I promise that I'll try my best, even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:49No, it shouldn't require you to make any sacrifices.
00:26:52Your dedication is enough.
00:26:59Oh my god, I'm... I'm so sorry, I'm meeting someone, I've got to go.
00:27:04Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:27:06No, no, it's okay. It's not that far, I can just walk.
00:27:09Okay.
00:27:12Bye.
00:27:13Thank you. See you.
00:27:19Bye.
00:27:28I really should stop reading these.
00:27:33Take a seat.
00:27:44Why did you call me?
00:27:46Strange of the point.
00:27:49Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:51I'd like to sue you. You've already done that a long time ago.
00:27:54I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:59You really should pay for all the wrong information your stupid article spreads.
00:28:05I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:28:10I have a task, and if you do this for me I won't sue you.
00:28:15I'll even offer you a job.
00:28:18What kind of task?
00:28:23I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:26I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:29You just need to put Ben in the spotlight since you're a well-known reporter.
00:28:36What kind of articles?
00:28:38I'll tell you once you've signed the contract.
00:28:41And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:46If anything gets spread, I won't hesitate and I'll sue you right away.
00:28:53Alright.
00:28:55Consider it done.
00:28:59Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:29:02Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:29:11DOOR KNOCKS
00:29:19Hey, sorry.
00:29:26Sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:28Oh, that's fine.
00:29:29I should have informed you before coming over, sorry.
00:29:32It's alright.
00:29:37So why are you standing there?
00:29:41What do you mean? I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:45You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:47Is that so?
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:49Okay, then where's your room?
00:30:04Hello?
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:30:10Alright.
00:30:11Okay.
00:30:12Bye.
00:30:14Alright, Ben.
00:30:15We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:30:20Oh, wait.
00:30:21I've got an appointment.
00:30:23Appointment?
00:30:24Yeah.
00:30:26It's alright, it's my own personal business.
00:30:27I'll take care of it some other time.
00:30:29No, that's alright.
00:30:30Blake can accompany me.
00:30:32Me?
00:30:34Alright.
00:30:36Alright, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:41So are you ready for the task?
00:30:44What task?
00:30:46The task, the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:49Oh, yes.
00:30:51Sorry, forgot.
00:30:55So, what's the plan?
00:30:59It's your plan.
00:31:00You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:31:03Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:31:06I'll publicise it.
00:31:07You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:31:11I kind of thought you'd have a whole script prepared for me.
00:31:15Too busy for that.
00:31:16Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:31:20Already tired of me, Alan?
00:31:22That'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:33Alright, thank you so much.
00:31:34Bye.
00:31:38I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:41Oh, well, you know I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:44Sure.
00:31:48Question, by the way.
00:31:51Why don't you have a driver?
00:31:54I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:57Because I like to drive myself.
00:32:00Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:32:03No, you should.
00:32:09I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:32:14Yeah, well, I have you now.
00:32:16To drive me.
00:32:18You've got your licence, right?
00:32:21I've always loved cars.
00:32:24My dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:32:26Really?
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:29Yeah, I used to help him repair old cars.
00:32:32You know, he loved to have me by his side, helping out.
00:32:36Well, why did you stop?
00:32:37You could have helped him to shop here.
00:32:44My dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:49Oh.
00:32:50Yeah.
00:32:53You know, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:56So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:33:00But then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:33:11And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:33:14I'm so sorry.
00:33:16That's okay.
00:33:18Shall we head home?
00:33:22Yeah.
00:33:27Um.
00:33:38Hey, Alan.
00:33:39Thanks for organising the suit.
00:33:41And thanks for organising Blake's dress too.
00:33:43She loves it.
00:33:44Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:45Alright, gotta go.
00:33:46See you.
00:33:49Alright, I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:50Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:52No, it's fine.
00:33:53No, it's, uh...
00:33:56Oh, I see.
00:33:57You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit bag?
00:34:01Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:34:06I didn't...
00:34:07I wasn't...
00:34:08saying...
00:34:12I was joking.
00:34:14Okay, well, I'm gonna get the suit now.
00:34:16No, you're not.
00:34:20I'm...
00:34:21I'm sorry.
00:34:22No, no, wait.
00:34:23Don't apologise.
00:34:26Um.
00:34:28You know, the suit.
00:34:29I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:33I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:37I'm gonna go grab the suit.
00:34:38Now.
00:34:50Good work.
00:34:52PHONE RINGS
00:34:55What is it?
00:34:58Your assistant is so rude.
00:35:01How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:35:03You better teach them some manners
00:35:05or I'm gonna make a complaint.
00:35:07Priya.
00:35:08Your drama doesn't work here.
00:35:11Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:35:15Look.
00:35:16I'm here...
00:35:19to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:35:22You know you can't replace me.
00:35:26Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:35:28Priya.
00:35:30You have to understand you breached your contract
00:35:32when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:34Now that your plans have failed,
00:35:35you cannot come back and knock on my door
00:35:37again and again and again.
00:35:39What are you talking about?
00:35:40Breached my contract?
00:35:41I went on vacation.
00:35:43Whatever.
00:35:44You didn't tell me anything.
00:35:45Or Ben.
00:35:46Ben.
00:35:47So I took it as your resignation.
00:35:49Okay, so...
00:35:50take this
00:35:51and draw up a new contract
00:35:53and let's get back into it.
00:35:54I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:56Priya.
00:35:58My books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.

00:37:43I thought you would be busy so I just came.
00:37:45No, that's okay. You've got keys.
00:37:47Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:49Hunger?
00:37:50Um...
00:37:52No.
00:37:53Come on, let's have breakfast.
00:37:54No, I'm good.
00:37:55Let me show you my cooking skills. Come on.
00:37:59Fine.
00:38:12Why does this make you so happy?
00:38:14Oh, because I suck at making coffee and you're really good at this.
00:38:19You want to learn?
00:38:20No, that would be really embarrassing.
00:38:23Please, let me teach you.
00:38:24Then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again.
00:38:27Okay.
00:38:30Like that?
00:38:31Yeah, just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:38:34Okay.
00:38:35You suck at it because you're holding it.
00:38:39Can't all...
00:38:40Just bring it back a little.
00:38:42Just...
00:38:45Just there.
00:38:58Hey, Alan.
00:38:59I know I'm late.
00:39:00Sorry.
00:39:01What's up?
00:39:02What?
00:39:05Alright.
00:39:06Okay.
00:39:08What's up?
00:39:10Alan says there's an article about us.
00:39:13Come on, let's go.
00:39:30Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:39:32Yeah, me too.
00:39:33Exactly. We haven't even done anything yet.
00:39:36I still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:42But I was just helping her.
00:39:44Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:46What's your problem? Isn't it...
00:39:54...exactly what you wanted?
00:39:56Well, I mean, it's what we wanted but not how we wanted.
00:40:00Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned
00:40:02but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:40:04You don't think it's too sudden?
00:40:07Too sudden?
00:40:08Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:14I'm sorry, Blake. I didn't mean that.
00:40:16No.
00:40:17No, it's the truth, right?
00:40:19But that's just a side task.
00:40:21You are my secretary.
00:40:23And it's what you approached me for.
00:40:26It's fine.
00:40:27Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:40:30See?
00:40:31There's no problem here.
00:40:32Okay.
00:40:34Well, let's move it forward.
00:40:35Alright.
00:40:36So, Ben, do you have a plan?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:40Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:40:52Um...
00:40:53So that explicit event we're going to tomorrow...
00:40:56Um...
00:40:58Are you taking me as your date?
00:41:00Yeah, that's what I said.
00:41:03No. No, can't.
00:41:04Can't do that. Too embarrassing.
00:41:06That's what I told Alan.
00:41:09It's not that.
00:41:11I just...
00:41:12I'm ready to do whatever. I just...
00:41:14I feel like it might be too much.
00:41:17Eventually, we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:41:22So why drag that?
00:41:25I can see you're worried.
00:41:28It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:41:30I was scared.
00:41:32I didn't know how everyone was going to react.
00:41:35Whether they'd like what I'd done, whether they'd hate it.
00:41:40And I was alone.
00:41:42Your fear is justified, Blake.
00:41:44But you're not alone.
00:41:47We'll do this together.
00:41:52Alright.
00:41:53I'll go with you.
00:41:59I think we're being stalked.
00:42:04There's an opportunity here.
00:42:06For what?
00:42:09Nothing.
00:42:16Okay. Act natural. Let's leave.
00:42:27Are you going home now?
00:42:29Yeah.
00:42:30Yeah, no, I will miss my bus.
00:42:32But I should rush.
00:42:34I have something that I need to show you.
00:42:36Would you mind coming with me?
00:42:38Um, Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:42:40It'll just be a minute and I think I have a solution for that.
00:42:44Okay.
00:43:04This is for you.
00:43:08You're welcome.
00:43:24Oh, a karaoke now, too?
00:43:26A karaoke.
00:43:38I love you.
00:43:51What are you talking about?
00:43:52About you.
00:43:58I love you, too.
00:44:00Um...
00:44:07I love you, too.
00:44:17Are you serious?
00:44:19It's...
00:44:31Just for your work.
00:44:32So you can drive me back.
00:44:38I'm sorry.
00:44:43...places and get home alright.
00:44:48I don't mind taking the bus, Ben. It's fine.
00:44:51I know you're fine.
00:44:52But, I mean, you drive me home and then you struggle to get home yourself and...
00:44:56No, I think it'll help you.
00:45:00Please, take it.
00:45:03Okay? It'll make me happy.
00:45:04And you need to practice your driving skills, so...
00:45:07Um...
00:45:22Thank you, Ben.
00:45:29I guess dreams really do come true.
00:45:38There is no way I can spend Coober today.
00:45:46Oh, God.
00:45:47No, no.
00:45:49Just my job.
00:45:52Just my job.
00:46:00Yes, yes, yes.
00:46:02Hello?
00:46:05Listen.
00:46:06We cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the rooms.
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:13Just try and avoid the rooms. Thank you very much.
00:46:16Okay.
00:46:17Bye.
00:46:31Ben, what the hell?
00:46:33What do you mean?
00:46:35You told me to go ahead and I did it.
00:46:37This is just the start.
00:46:39You freaking kissed Blake.
00:46:42I thought you were going to start small by, like, giving her a handshake or just a hug.
00:46:49Is it working?
00:46:53That's the goal.
00:46:56What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:46:59Explain yourself!
00:47:02Explain what and why?
00:47:04Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:47:08I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:47:11Alright?
00:47:12I thought we were minding our own business.
00:47:15You're so stuck in the past. Can you get over that already?
00:47:19You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:47:22Just when are you going to drop that?
00:47:25Anyway, I thought we were exclusive. What happened to us?
00:47:31Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:47:34We're broken up.
00:47:36You never actually broke up with me.
00:47:38Oh, jeez.
00:47:39You left me.
00:47:42You told me to mind my own business, you treated me like garbage, and you expect me to do what?
00:47:46You come in here and I just forgive you?
00:47:47Okay, Ben. Ben, calm down.
00:47:56No.
00:47:58You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:48:03Ben.
00:48:04Ellen, just please ask her to leave.
00:48:06Ria, please.
00:48:14So you're Blake.
00:48:18Hey, Blake.
00:48:20Let me drive you back to my place, okay?
00:48:25Okay.
00:48:32I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:48:35You know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:48:38Why is that?
00:48:40Because you don't pay attention to the road and you don't think when you're angry.
00:48:46I'm being serious.
00:48:48Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:48:52I like to drive to distract myself.
00:48:55I can't help it.
00:48:57Oh, okay.
00:48:59What do you do when you're angry?
00:49:03Um...
00:49:07I guess I just like to go somewhere alone and then let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:49:16I usually drive alone.
00:49:20Well, you don't have to anymore. You've got me now.
00:49:24Always.
00:49:30Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:49:32I am very busy, as you know.
00:49:35I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:49:38I can tell.
00:49:40Well, I can teach you.
00:49:43I'd like that.
00:49:54I overdid it, didn't I?
00:49:56No.
00:49:58You look perfect.
00:50:01I promise.
00:50:03You look beautiful.
00:50:06I can see you're nervous.
00:50:08Don't be.
00:50:09I'll be with you the entire time.
00:50:12I just, I don't want to faint, Ben.
00:50:14I really want to help you out.
00:50:16And if you really want to help me out, then just stop pretending.
00:50:19Be yourself.
00:50:20Let me worry about the rest.
00:50:22Okay.
00:50:24Look, the plan is to make everyone think that we're a real couple.
00:50:28So I found a place by a lake that is famous for celebrity couples being spotted there.
00:50:34So with any luck, after tonight, everyone will believe that we're a real couple.
00:50:39Well, let's just hope that's successful then.
00:50:45Shall we complete the look?
00:50:47Please.
00:50:51Okay.
00:51:05Done. Let's go.
00:51:15Are you okay?
00:51:17I just, um, I forgot that so many people might be watching us.
00:51:21Just remember, we're making the headlines for tomorrow.
00:51:25Yeah, no, that's horrifying.
00:51:29You know, I thought it would, um, it would just be, you know, fake laughing with you.
00:51:34But, um, it's actually kind of real.
00:51:38Well, I told you.
00:51:40I like you because you're real.
00:51:42All these other girls that I've met before, like, they all know who I am.
00:51:48Like, before you, I hadn't met someone that didn't know me.
00:51:51Someone that wasn't already obsessed with me.
00:52:01Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:52:04Yeah, should we go?
00:52:06Let's go.
00:52:11You wait here, I'll go get the package.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:22Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:52:30You know he's just using you.
00:52:32Always does that.
00:52:36What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:52:38Ben is mine.
00:52:39I won't let you steal him from me.
00:52:41Really?
00:52:43Stop being delusional. He wants nothing to do with you.
00:52:53Don't you ever mess with me.
00:53:09Hey.
00:53:16Hey.
00:53:22Wait, what happened?
00:53:25Just hang on. Stay where you are, I'm coming. Okay?
00:53:30Blake. Hey.
00:53:32Hey, Blake.
00:53:34What happened? Are you okay?
00:53:35Are you okay?
00:53:39You said Rhea did something? Yeah?
00:53:43Let's get you home.
00:53:50I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:53:55I don't want to talk about it, Ben.
00:53:57That's okay. That's okay. I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:54:01I'm so sorry.
00:54:03Yeah, let's go home.
00:54:06Come on.
00:54:11Um, do you want your jacket back?
00:54:13No. No, you keep it.
00:54:17You can take the car. I can just take the bus tomorrow.
00:54:20No, no. I'll take the bus tomorrow. You keep the car.
00:54:23Please, Blake.
00:54:27Hey, can we... can we talk?
00:54:30Is your place alright?
00:54:31Is your place alright?
00:54:33No, no, it's fine. I was silly.
00:54:36No, it's um...
00:54:39Come on in.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:51Um, sorry it's so small.
00:54:54No, it's cozy.
00:54:55It's cozy.
00:54:57Listen, about today, I...
00:55:00I don't have the words.
00:55:02I feel ashamed.
00:55:04It's fine, Ben.
00:55:06No, it's not.
00:55:08Every job has its challenges and this is just...
00:55:11Please, please stop.
00:55:14Okay, this is something that can never be justified.
00:55:22I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:55:26Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me. I'm just your secretary.
00:55:32You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary.
00:55:38You're more than that to me.
00:55:43What do you mean?
00:55:47I mean...
00:55:51I think...
00:55:52I think...
00:55:54I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:56:00Since... since when?
00:56:03To be honest, I don't know.
00:56:05I mean, when I first met you, I wanted to get to know you better.
00:56:11And I spoke to Alan and we had a role for you to play.
00:56:15But I want you to know that I've loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:56:23But after today, if you want to end the contract here, that's okay. I understand.
00:56:31And please, don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:56:35I just want it to be true to myself.
00:56:45Can I kiss you?
00:56:48Because I... I really want to.
00:56:52Okay.
00:57:09Yes?
00:57:12Send her in.
00:57:18What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of things.
00:57:20Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene.
00:57:24When will she leave us alone?
00:57:26What did she do exactly?
00:57:28Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
00:57:33And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
00:57:37And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
00:57:43She's really crossed the line this time.
00:57:46Write an article about this. We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
00:57:50Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm only paid to write for Ben.
00:58:06Consider it done.
00:58:12Who is this?
00:58:14She's a reporter.
00:58:16And what are you doing here?
00:58:17Look, I hired her.
00:58:25Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
00:58:28It wasn't important.
00:58:30The heck, Alan? You hired the reporter? You know what she's done!
00:58:34I know, I know, I know. But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:58:38Of course! Right? She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
00:58:43Look.
00:58:44She wrote those articles.
00:58:45I know, I know. Please, take a seat.
00:58:49She wrote those articles on you in the first place, therefore she has the audience we need.
00:58:54Don't you see?
00:58:56She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died.
00:59:00This is because people trust her.
00:59:02One good deed does not make her a good person, okay? I don't trust her.
00:59:06I know, I know. I don't trust her either.
00:59:10But I've got a plan, okay? She is useful.
00:59:15Still.
00:59:17Ben.
00:59:19In my years of managing I've learnt one thing.
00:59:22Sometimes you need to take the risk.
00:59:26Whatever.
00:59:28I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
00:59:31We can't drag her into this mess.
00:59:33I know. It's so sad what happened to her last night.
00:59:36Wait.
00:59:38Wait, where is she? Why isn't she with you?
00:59:41Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:59:43We can't do this without her. How are we going to do it?
00:59:46She's just taking a break today.
00:59:48Everything's fine.
00:59:50But I do need to tell you something.
01:00:07It smells so good.
01:00:11What time did you wake up?
01:00:13I woke up just after you left.
01:00:16I can't stay away from you for long.
01:00:34Food's ready.
01:00:35Food's ready.
01:00:42Shall we eat later?
01:00:49Right.
01:00:59Why did you call?
01:01:01Don't play dumb with me.
01:01:03Don't feed me.
01:01:05I fear you.
01:01:07I mean, why else?
01:01:09Why would you call this soon?
01:01:11Ben's gay story was your idea.
01:01:13Can you keep it down?
01:01:15Someone could hear us.
01:01:17It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me.
01:01:21How many times do I have to tell you?
01:01:23This is not about defaming Ben.
01:01:25I just wanted him to get back with me.
01:01:28But I do need your help.
01:01:31I have some intel on Blake.
01:01:33I think you're going to want to hear it.
01:01:41Their relationship.
01:01:43The whole thing is fake.
01:01:45They've got a contract.
01:01:47It's all for publicity.
01:01:49Explosive.
01:01:51Ria, this isn't enough.
01:01:53I know that.
01:01:59That should be enough.
01:02:03Now, do it.
01:02:05Drag Blake through the press.
01:02:09And if you do it,
01:02:11and it works,
01:02:13I'll agree to go on a date with you.
01:02:16Do you promise?
01:02:18Promise.
01:02:21Anything for a date with you.
01:02:30Do whatever you want to do.
01:02:33Say it with a smile.
01:02:35Be nice, Alan.
01:02:38Do whatever you want to do.
01:02:41See, that's what I'm talking about.
01:02:45Well, how do you want to go about this?
01:02:47People already know you're dating.
01:02:49Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct about our relationship status.
01:02:53Alright.
01:02:55What about you, Blake?
01:02:57Your contract?
01:02:59Let's just end the contract here.
01:03:00We'll pay you what we owe and
01:03:02finish with that.
01:03:04Alright.
01:03:05And what about your secretary job?
01:03:07Still going to continue with that?
01:03:11Yeah, I'll still keep my job, Alan.
01:03:13Alright.
01:03:14Well, she's made up her mind.
01:03:27No way.
01:03:29You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:03:39I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:03:41Yeah, let me see.
01:03:42You need to clear it.
01:03:43I'm going to go see Blake.
01:03:44She's not feeling well.
01:03:46Of course, of course.
01:03:47I understand.
01:03:50You need to listen to me for a second.
01:03:54I'm sorry.
01:03:55I shouldn't have hired her.
01:03:58Yeah, I told you that before.
01:04:00But you didn't listen to me.
01:04:01And now we're here.
01:04:02Okay?
01:04:03She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:04:05Including her home address in the village.
01:04:07She's not safe anymore.
01:04:09What am I supposed...
01:04:10Do you understand how bad this is?
01:04:11How am I supposed to face her?
01:04:13Just...
01:04:14Just talk to her.
01:04:15I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:04:17You do your job.
01:04:19I'll do mine.
01:04:29What's in the bag?
01:04:32Where are you going?
01:04:35Hey, hey.
01:04:37You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:04:40What does it look like I'm doing when I'm leaving?
01:04:43What?
01:04:44No, you can't leave.
01:04:45We can fix this.
01:04:46It's not over.
01:04:47No, no.
01:04:48Everything about me is on the internet.
01:04:49Okay?
01:04:50I can't take it anymore.
01:04:51People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:04:54You're not.
01:04:55You're not.
01:04:56You're not.
01:04:57I'm fake.
01:04:58You're not fake.
01:05:00Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:05:01I can fix everything.
01:05:04I can't do this anymore.
01:05:06Ben, this isn't me.
01:05:07This isn't who I am.
01:05:08Blake.
01:05:09I love you so much.
01:05:11Just...
01:05:13Let me do something to fix it.
01:05:14I promise.
01:05:15Go.
01:05:17Just go.
01:05:18I can't.
01:05:19I can't do this anymore.
01:05:22Just go.
01:05:27Go.
01:05:37Good work, Oliver.
01:05:40Anything for you.
01:05:43So, um...
01:05:45Where's your part of the deal?
01:05:47I think I already paid you.
01:05:49Yeah.
01:05:50No, you did.
01:05:52I'm talking about our date.
01:05:55Oliver, I was just kidding.
01:06:01You were kidding?
01:06:03Yeah, I thought you'd realise that.
01:06:06Look, we're just so different.
01:06:11What do you mean by that?
01:06:13Well, let's just say I'm really useful to lots of different journalists.
01:06:20They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:06:25Wait, so you think I can't do my job without you?
01:06:29Obviously.
01:06:30I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:06:34Wow.
01:06:37But...
01:06:39I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:06:42I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:06:45You understand.
01:06:49I can't believe it.
01:06:51It's everything, Liv.
01:06:56On the same level as you.
01:07:00We'll see about that.
01:07:17Hello?
01:07:20Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's sick right now. That's why he wasn't on set today.
01:07:24Yeah, if we could make another date for the shoot, that would be amazing.
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:30Yeah, thank you very much.
01:07:31Alright.
01:07:33Okay, bye.
01:07:41Please pick up, Ben.
01:07:49This is the legal notice I'm writing you.
01:07:54Find and double the amount paid.
01:08:00It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:08:04It's not negotiable.
01:08:10I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:08:15Fine.
01:08:16But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:08:19Let's take down Ria together.
01:08:24Are you loyal to nobody? You really are a piece of work.
01:08:28Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:08:33Alright.
01:08:35But if you double-cross me again, I'll make your life a living hell.
01:08:39Ria paid me from the very start to write about Ben.
01:08:44She started all this.
01:08:56I can never make anyone happy.
01:09:02Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:09:14What?
01:09:17Read the headline I sent you.
01:09:36I understand your decision to leave.
01:09:39But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:09:42But in the end, it's your life. I won't force you to do anything.
01:09:50Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:09:54She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:09:58The chats have been made public.
01:10:02Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:10:05And we'll write a statement for you.
01:10:08And we'll write a statement for you.
01:10:11And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:10:16It's fine, Alan.
01:10:18You don't have to waste all that money on me. I'm just a regular person.
01:10:23So what?
01:10:25Regular people don't deserve respect.
01:10:28You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked so hard to achieve.
01:10:37That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:10:40And I would really appreciate it if you could not tell Ben about this, please.
01:10:50Blake, just take the check, please.
01:10:54Blake, just take the check, please.
01:11:00I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:11:05See ya.
01:11:20Thank you for bearing with me.
01:11:29Why are you here, Ben?
01:11:31So, you've decided to leave?
01:11:34That's alright.
01:11:36Just let me drop you off.
01:11:38Ben, I...
01:11:39Please. One last time?
01:11:44It's fine.
01:11:46You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:11:50I don't deserve to have you.
01:11:53All I've done is just cause you trouble, and you've had enough trouble because of me.
01:11:59So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:12:06It's not about you, Ben.
01:12:09You have dedicated your entire life to me.
01:12:13You have dedicated your entire life to your career, and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:12:19All that matters to me is you.
01:12:22And without you, nothing else matters.
01:12:26I know, Ben.
01:12:28I'm glad you know.
01:12:33I'm gonna, um...
01:12:35I'm gonna walk from here. You shouldn't come.
01:12:42Hey.
01:12:50Hey.
01:12:52Do you want to come meet my family?
01:13:02Will.
01:13:12Will.
