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