00:00:00Welcome back, Eddie has Showbiz now.
00:00:02Good morning and welcome to Daily News.
00:00:05I'm your host Amanda.
00:00:06Our story today is about Ben Cooper,
00:00:09a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee
00:00:11who made a ripple in the acting industry
00:00:13after his performance in his recent movie Maximizer.
00:00:16His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million
00:00:20to 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?
00:00:38I don't know.
00:00:41I'm not sure if I can do this.
00:00:43What did I even do?
00:00:45Well, you're not going to be getting any supporting roles anymore.
00:00:49Why?
00:00:52Because you are going to be the lead.
00:00:55You will be the biggest star ever.
00:01:02Fasten your seatbelt then.
00:01:03It's time to fly.
00:01:10Everything just feels so unreal.
00:01:13That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:18What's with the fun?
00:01:19No.
00:01:24I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time.
00:01:29It's just 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.
00:01:35But don't you worry.
00:01:37Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:41You are a superstar.
00:01:43A lot of moment of peace.
00:01:49Hello?
00:01:58I'm saving that right now.
00:02:01What is it now?
00:02:02You're scaring me.
00:02:10I think we're in trouble.
00:02:13Please speak up.
00:02:32Please speak up.
00:02:33Hi.
00:02:33Hi.
00:02:35Sorry.
00:02:36I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:41Yes.
00:02:41My name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:48There are no sauce left.
00:02:52I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:57No.
00:02:58No, this isn't fair.
00:02:59You need to reconsider me.
00:03:02Hello?
00:03:04What?
00:03:05You've got to be kidding me.
00:03:10I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:16Please.
00:03:20I'm tired of telling you I failed, Mum.
00:03:24Well, I mean, I guess she's right I didn't give up too soon.
00:03:27I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:03:36You've got this, Blake.
00:03:41Hi.
00:03:42Um, I want an appointment with Manager Alan.
00:03:47Yeah, I knew you would refuse.
00:03:48Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:55Screw you.
00:03:57I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:02People just need gossip.
00:04:04Hello?
00:04:12This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:14Now, I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his rumours.
00:04:21He's not in a relationship.
00:04:24Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:26No, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:04:30People are saying that he's...
00:04:32That he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:39I've got an important call.
00:04:40I'll call you back.
00:04:41Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:43What?
00:04:51What story?
00:04:52Send her it.
00:04:57Hey, what story?
00:04:58Who are you?
00:05:01Well, uh...
00:05:03There's not really a story as such.
00:05:06I...
00:05:07It's as important as that.
00:05:11Okay.
00:05:13Since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often, I just wanted to come here
00:05:19in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:24Okay.
00:05:26You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:29That's what people say when they don't get a job here.
00:05:31Okay, not getting a job is different.
00:05:32You guys are...
00:05:33You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:35Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rand elsewhere?
00:05:44Are you going to go or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:46Okay.
00:05:47I'm sorry.
00:05:48I just...
00:05:49I really need a job right now.
00:05:51This isn't a request, Sam.
00:05:52Please.
00:05:53Okay.
00:05:54Well, you know what?
00:05:55I hope karma bites you with it.
00:05:56Sorry.
00:05:57Are you blind?
00:06:10Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:12Who is that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:25We need to focus on the people who do recognise you.
00:06:28Ben, I 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.
00:06:40Is it harmful for my image?
00:06:42Is it?
00:06:46You can date who you want to, but there's rumours.
00:06:49Like, it ruins your identity.
00:06:52Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:54Obviously not.
00:06:56And I've been contacted by Thomas' 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 rumours aren't true,
00:07:04but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:09Like, what if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:16Like what?
00:07:17Like, what if I were to date a girl?
00:07:21That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:25Well, it would kill the boss.
00:07:27I don't know.
00:07:28It'd put us on the right path
00:07:29to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:07:33My question is how.
00:07:40I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:41Everything sucks.
00:08:01You know what?
00:08:02I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:05I'm not staying here for eternity.
00:08:10It's settled.
00:08:17I mean...
00:08:19I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:24But no one wants to go.
00:08:27I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:31I mean, I don't want to have to go back.
00:09:02I think...
00:09:04I think...
00:09:08I think I have to go back.
00:09:09Is it so good, I don't think.
00:09:35Nope.
00:09:36Nope.
00:09:38Absolutely not.
00:09:40I'm not answering.
00:09:54What is it, Mum?
00:09:58Um, hey.
00:10:01Yeah?
00:10:03Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:05I hope you remember me.
00:10:07You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:10:09Um, yeah, yeah, hi.
00:10:13Hello.
00:10:14Hi.
00:10:15Um...
00:10:17Can we meet?
00:10:19I have a job for you.
00:10:35I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:37Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:41Your idea.
00:10:42It's absurd.
00:10:43I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:45Covering a lie with another lie?
00:10:47Well, everybody lies.
00:10:49People will 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.
00:10:59She won't go crazy.
00:11:00I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:01You sure?
00:11:02I'm sure.
00:11:07Send her in.
00:11:09Still not sure about this girl.
00:11:11Come in.
00:11:13Please.
00:11:14Take a seat.
00:11:15Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:16Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:17I didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:18Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:20So...
00:11:21I got a job for you.
00:11:22Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:23Oh, wait.
00:11:24Sorry.
00:11:25It's not so much of a job.
00:11:26More of a favour.
00:11:27This is all, um...
00:11:28So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:44This is all, um.
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?
00:12:09Like, 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 showbiz, I don't know about.
00:12:22Yeah, but still, like, who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:30I am Ben.
00:12:32Will you do me this favour?
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:39No.
00:12:55That was...
00:12:56That was Ben.
00:12:59The Ben Cooper.
00:13:01I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:08Oh my god!
00:13:09Oh my god!
00:13:10Oh my god, I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:13:14What the...
00:13:17I...
00:13:20I...
00:13:20I can't do it.
00:13:22I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:36I guess I've gotta keep packing then.
00:13:39Um...
00:13:40Yeah, I...
00:13:42That's so bad!
00:13:47Yeah, mom, guess what I have.
00:14:05Ew. Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:25Hey. You need to relax.
00:14:33I'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? Are you crazy or what?
00:14:44I told you an excellent plan.
00:14:46Now it's your path to play, just make it work.
00:14:49Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:14:52Fine. It was a really good plan.
00:14:55Why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:14:58Why can't I find you another one? A better one. One that's a better actor.
00:15:02It has to be this girl. I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:07Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:11I agree. So convince her.
00:15:14Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl. And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:23Well, for starters, she's different. Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:28If we want to do this. Right? It plays better if she's not obsessed with me. It makes it more believable.
00:15:35Unbelievable.
00:15:47Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:51All right. I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:15:54Yeah. All right. Ben's stopping this girl is the next level.
00:16:08Please pick up Blake.
00:16:11We need a plan B.
00:16:20Who is it?
00:16:22It's me. Blake.
00:16:25Please come in.
00:16:31Take a seat.
00:16:32I hope we're alone in here.
00:16:34Oh, of course.
00:16:38I need me back.
00:16:41I need a job, Alan.
00:16:43Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:16:45No, no. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:50Look.
00:16:52Look, I'll...
00:16:53I'll do anything.
00:16:54Okay, but I can't do this.
00:16:57What will I tell my parents?
00:16:58That I'm, what, someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:01That's not something I would like to tell them.
00:17:04I...
00:17:05Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:06It's not a job.
00:17:07It's more of a favour.
00:17:11Okay, fine. Then I can't do it, then.
00:17:14Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:19I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:21But...
00:17:23I can't.
00:17:24I'm really sorry.
00:17:25I can't.
00:17:26Blake, please.
00:17:27Come on.
00:17:33Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:17:35You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her,
00:17:37and you just let her go?
00:17:38Like, she didn't give me the chance.
00:17:39She just walked right out.
00:17:42And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:43Like, I've never seen you this way before
00:17:45unless you really respect someone.
00:17:51Oh, my God.
00:17:52Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:56No, no, I haven't.
00:17:57It's nothing like that.
00:17:58It's not.
00:17:59Then what?
00:18:00What is it with her?
00:18:01I just think that we need to disprove the rumours as soon as possible.
00:18:04So what, I should just call her right away?
00:18:06Yeah, call her.
00:18:08Ben.
00:18:09Look, Alan, I gave you a job.
00:18:11You failed.
00:18:12Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:14Look, you've got to be kidding me.
00:18:15I've got a family dinner now.
00:18:17Text me a number.
00:18:18Okay?
00:18:20Now.
00:18:45Hello?

00:18:48It's Ben.
00:18:49Ben Cooper?
00:18:50Look, if you're busy, then that's okay.
00:18:51I can call tomorrow.
00:18:52No.

00:22:09understand why me because I just like I mean for the for this role I think you'd be a perfect fit

00:23:57no no not not at all I just I said I'd pay you enough
00:24:02okay why do you even need a secretary when you have an amazing manager
00:24:10well I mean Alan looks after the whole agency
00:24:14so it's a lot of work for him and if we can bring someone on board to split off the workload that'd be
00:24:20helpful
00:24:21look it's it's my decision okay and Alan I'm not cutting any of your pay
00:24:26no I never said that
00:24:28well how about you sign the contract so we can move forward with the plan
00:24:35welcome
00:24:51you're hired thanks I'll try my best for you
00:24:57relax you look tense
00:25:06um 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 some things
00:25:17listen I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me
00:25:21wrong idea about what
00:25:23well it could easily be seen as that I'm just
00:25:27using my money to get to you and I just want you to know it's not like that
00:25:31I know
00:25:32I used to struggle for work too
00:25:39seriously
00:25:41yeah well there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food
00:25:45it 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
00:25:56and now you've met him too so you don't have to worry about any of that
00:26:01I
00:26:03I've put a lot of hard work and I've struggled through a lot in my career to get to where I am
00:26:10and I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that because they have something out for me
00:26:15so that's where you come in
00:26:17I promise that I'll try my best
00:26:22even if it also sacrifices

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