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.
00:01:34Tricks 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.
00:02:58This 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?
00:04:44What?
00:04:51What story?
00:04:52Send her it.
00:04:57Hey, what story?
00:04:58Who won?
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.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:12Since 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 either.
00:05:31Okay, not getting a job is different.
00:05:32You guys are...
00:05:33You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:36Look, 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, look, um...
00:05:52I'm sorry, I just...
00:05:54I really need a job right now.
00:05:56This isn't a request sent, though.
00:05:59Please.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02Well, you know what?
00:06:03I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:08Sorry.
00:06:09Are you blind?
00:06:11Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:15Who is that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:20We need to focus on the people who do recognise you.
00:06:28Ben.
00:06:30I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:34I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:06:38It's how they make them.
00:06:40Is it harmful for my image?
00:06:42Is it...
00:06:44You 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?
00:07:11What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:16Like what?
00:07:17Like...
00:07:17What if I were to date a girl?
00:07:23That'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.
00:07:35My question is how.
00:07:37I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:57Everything sucks.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:02I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:06Nope.
00:08:07Staying here for eternity.
00:08:10It's settled.
00:08:11I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:23But no one wants to go.
00:08:29I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:31I don't want to take a break.
00:08:54I think...
00:09:04I think I have to go back.
00:09:14This is so good.
00:09:24Nope, nope, absolutely not, not answering, I'm going to blow my skin close.
00:09:44What is it, Mum?
00:09:57Um, hey.
00:10:01Yeah?
00:10:03Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:06I hope you remember me.
00:10:07You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:10:11Um, yeah, yeah, hi!
00:10:14Hello?
00:10:15Hi.
00:10:17Um.
00:10:18Can we meet?
00:10:20I have a job for you.
00:10:34I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:39Sorry, 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?
00:11:03I'm sure.
00:11:04Send her in.
00:11:08I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:11:14Come in.
00:11:14Please, take a seat.
00:11:19Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:23Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:25Didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:27Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:31So, I got a job for you.
00:11:35Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:37Sorry, it's not so much of a job.
00:11:41More of a favour.
00:11:48This is all...
00:11:49So, what do you think, Blake?
00:11:55So, you want me to fake date Ben, for time being?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:11:59It's as simple as that.
00:12:00Okay, but...
00:12:04Who's Ben?
00:12:08How do you not know Ben?
00:12:09Like...
00:12:10You haven't seen his movies, or dramas, or anything like that?
00:12:17I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:20You know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about.
00:12:22Yeah, but still.
00:12:22Like...
00:12:23Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:27I am Ben.
00:12:32Will you do me this favour?
00:12:40No.
00:12:41That was...
00:12:55That was...
00:12:58Ben.
00:12:59They...
00:12:59They Ben creep up.
00:13:04I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:07Oh my god!
00:13:09Oh my god!
00:13:10Oh my god!
00:13:11I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:13:14What the...
00:13:17I...
00:13:20I...
00:13:20I can't do it.
00:13:25I...
00:13:26I...
00:13:26I...
00:13:26I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:31I guess I've got to keep packing then.
00:13:39Um...
00:13:40Mmm...
00:13:41I'm so bad!
00:13:47Something...
00:13:53Very dangerous.
00:13:57Yes...
00:14:02Mom...
00:14:02Guess what?
00:14:04I have...
00:14:06...
00:14:06Hello...
00:14:06I have...
00:14:10...
00:14:10...
00:14:11...
00:14:11...
00:14:13...
00:14:13Ew!
00:14:15Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:26Hey.
00:14:30You need to relax.
00:14:34I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:14:36I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:39And on top of that, you're asking me to relax?
00:14:41Are you crazy or what?
00:14:44I told you an excellent plan.
00:14:46Now it's your part to play, just make it work.
00:14:49Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:14:52Fine.
00:14:53It 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?
00:15:00A better one. One that's a better actor.
00:15:02No. It has to be this girl.
00:15:04I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:07Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:10I agree. So convince her.
00:15:14Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:15:17And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:21Well, for starters, she's different.
00:15:24Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:27If we want to do this, right, it plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:34It makes her more believable.
00:15:36Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben'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.
00:15:54All right.
00:15:55Ben's stubbornness girl is the next level.
00:15:56Please pick up Blake.
00:15:57We need a plan B.
00:16:00Who is it?
00:16:01It's me.
00:16:02Blake.
00:16:03Please come in.
00:16:04Take a seat.
00:16:05I hope you're learning more.
00:16:07I hope you're learning more.
00:16:08Okay.
00:16:09We need to pick up, Blake.
00:16:15We need a plan B.
00:16:19Who 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 alone in here.
00:16:35Of course.
00:16:39I need you to be back.
00:16:41I need a job, Alan.
00:16:43Oh, of course.
00:16:45It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:16:47A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:49Look.
00:16:51Look, I'll...
00:16:53I'll do anything.
00:16:55Okay, but I can't do this.
00:16:57What will I tell my parents?
00:16:59That I'm, what, someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:01That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:17:03Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:05It's not a job.
00:17:07It's more of a favour.
00:17:11Okay, fine. Then I can't do it then.
00:17:13Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:19I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:21But...
00:17:23I can't.
00:17:25I'm really sorry.
00:17:27Blake, please! Come on!
00:17:29I can't do it.
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.
00:17:41And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:43Like, I've never seen you this way before
00:17:45unless you really respect someone.
00:17:47Oh my god.
00:17:51Oh my god.
00:17:53Oh my god.
00:17:55Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:56No, no, I haven't.
00:17:57It'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 rumours as soon as possible.
00:18:05So what, I 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 gotta 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?
00:18:46Look, I'm busy so bother someone else, yeah?
00:18:50It's, it's Ben.
00:18:52Ben Cooper?
00:18:54Look, if you're busy then that's okay, I can call tomorrow.
00:18:58No.
00:18:59Um, I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:03Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:05That's okay, we haven't talked before, so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:08Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:19:09You still don't know who I am?
00:19:10Well, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:11Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:12Um, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:13Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:14Um, I, I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:15Um, I don't know who I am.
00:19:16Um, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:17Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:18Um, I, I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:20I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:21If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I can meet you at yours?
00:19:24Uh, I'm sorry.
00:19:25Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:26Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:27I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:28That's okay, we haven't talked before, so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:29Yeah, 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?
00:19:36Um, I, I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:41I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:46If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I can meet you at yours?
00:19:49No.
00:19:50No, I'll, I'll come.
00:19:54Great.
00:19:55I'll text you the address.
00:19:58See you tomorrow.
00:20:06Why don't you have a seat, make yourself comfortable.
00:20:08Thanks.
00:20:09Would you like a coffee?
00:20:10Uh, yeah, thank you.
00:20:15It's a strange studio.
00:20:17Here you are.
00:20:19You 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, this is your home.
00:20:43Is that a problem?
00:20:44No.
00:20:45No.
00:20:46I just, um, I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:50It's kind of intimate.
00:20:52Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:20:56Um, so what, what is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:01I wanted to ask, why are you running away from me?
00:21:04I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:06Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:08Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:11You know, I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:12I know.
00:21:13Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:14What if I offered you a different role, as my secretary?
00:21:16That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name and you can still help
00:21:18me fix my reputation.
00:21:19Um, okay, well it's still not a job.
00:21:32I want a long term job.
00:21:37You know, your conditions have only held me for some time.
00:21:41I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:42How much do you need?
00:21:43Is it about money?
00:21:44No, it's not about money.
00:21:45What if I offered to hire you full-time?
00:21:48Full-time secretary.
00:21:49Permanently.
00:21:50I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:21:52What if I offered to hire you a full-time secretary?
00:21:55I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:21:58What if I offered to hire you a full-time secretary?
00:22:05Because I just like you.
00:22:16I mean, for this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:20Okay, but there are so many other people that you could pick from.
00:22:25There's something different about you.
00:22:28Look, I've offered you the role with a part to play a lot.
00:22:34Are you in?
00:22:41I'm in.
00:22:53Ria, what are you doing?
00:22:56Don't treat me like this.
00:22:58How should I treat my ex?
00:23:00You are not worried.
00:23:01Can you just get over this already?
00:23:03We're not in a relationship anymore.
00:23:05Okay?
00:23:06Just leave.
00:23:07Pam, I know I need you.
00:23:10Just...
00:23:11You don't need to pretend.
00:23:13You can say to me time and time again, this is no different.
00:23:16I...
00:23:17I'm here for you.
00:23:19Just get off, okay?
00:23:21You need to get out.
00:23:22Just get out.
00:23:29This is the contract.
00:23:32This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:35We will renew it, of course.
00:23:36We will renew it, of course.
00:23:37So you don't have to worry.
00:23:50I'm sorry.
00:23:51Um...
00:23:52You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:55Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:23:57No.
00:23:58No.
00:23:59Not at all.
00:24:00I just...
00:24:01I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:06Okay, why do you even need a secretary when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:10Well...
00:24:11I 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,
00:24:19that'd be...
00:24:20helpful.
00:24:21Look, it's...
00:24:22It's my decision.
00:24:23Okay?
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 so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:50Welcome.
00:24:52You're hired.
00:24:54Thanks.
00:24:55I'll try my best for you.
00:24:57Relax.
00:24:58You look tense.
00:24:59Um...
00:25:00I could have bought my own food and drink so you don't have to.
00:25:01Don't be silly.
00:25:02I was buying things for myself so I'm more than happy to buy you something this week.
00:25:18Listen, 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 using my money to get to you.
00:25:29I just want you to know, it's not like that.
00:25:31I don't.
00:25:36I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:40Seriously?
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 Al.
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.
00:25:58So, you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:01I...
00:26:02I've put a lot of hard work and I've struggled through a lot in my career to get to where
00:26:09I am.
00:26:10And I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that because they have something out for me.
00:26:16So that's where you come in.
00:26:18I promise that I'll try my best, even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:24No, it shouldn't require any sacrifices.
00:26:28Your dedication is enough.
00:26:35Oh my god.
00:26:36I'm...
00:26:37I'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.
00:26:46Bye.
00:26:48See you.
00:26:54I really should stop reading these.
00:27:07Take a seat.
00:27:18Why'd you call me?
00:27:20Nah, straight 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 your stupid article spreads.
00:27:39I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:43Look.
00:27:44I have a task.
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 since you're a well-known horror.
00:28:11What kind of articles?
00:28:12I'll tell you what you've signed.
00:28:13And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:18If anything gets great, I won't hesitate and I'll see you right away.
00:28:24Alright.
00:28:25Consider it done.
00:28:26Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:27And don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:30Hey.
00:28:31Hey.
00:28:32Sorry.
00:28:33Sorry.
00:28:34I just woke up.
00:28:35Huh.
00:28:36That's fine.
00:28:37I should have been warned you before.
00:28:38I just woke up.
00:28:39coming over.
00:28:40Sorry.
00:28:41No.
00:28:42It's alright.
00:28:43No.
00:28:44It's alright.
00:28:45It's alright.
00:28:46Hey, sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:02Oh, that's fine.
00:29:03I should have warned you before coming over, sorry.
00:29:06No, it's alright.
00:29:12So, why are you standing there?
00:29:13What do you mean? I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:19You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:22Is that sorry?
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:34Hello?
00:29:37Yeah, I'll bring Ben in for his feelings this afternoon.
00:29:41Alright. Okay.
00:29:43Bye.
00:29:45Alright, Ben, we need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:51Oh, wait.
00:29:52I've got an appointment.
00:29:54Appointment?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:57It's alright, it's my own personal business.
00:29:58I'll take care of it some other time.
00:30:00No, that's alright.
00:30:01Blake can accompany me.
00:30:03Me.
00:30:05Alright.
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?
00:30:15What task?
00:30:17Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:19Ah, no.
00:30:20Yes.
00:30:22Sorry.
00:30:22Forgot.
00:30:23So, what's the plan?
00:30:29It's your plan.
00:30:30You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:30:34Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:35I'll publicise it.
00:30:38You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:30:42I kind of thought you'd have, like, a whole script prepared for me.
00:30:46No.
00:30:46Too busy for that.
00:30:47Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:49You're already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:52Oh.
00:30:53And that'll never happen, Ben?
00:31:01Yes.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:03Alright.
00:31:04Thank you so much.
00:31:05Bye.
00:31:07I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:11Oh, well, you know, I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:14Fair.
00:31:15Question, by the way.
00:31:19Um, why don't you have a driver?
00:31:24I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:27Because I like to drive myself.
00:31:30Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:31:33No, you should.
00:31:38Um, I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:31:43Yeah, well, I have you now.
00:31:46To drive me.
00:31:48You've got your license, right?
00:31:51I've always loved cars.
00:31:53Um, my dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:31:56Really?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Wow.
00:31:58Um, yeah, I used to help him repair all cars.
00:32:02And, you know, he loved to have me by his side, helping out.
00:32:06Well, why did you stop?
00:32:07You could have opened a shop here.
00:32:08Um, my dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:23You know, um, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:27So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:32:30Um, but then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:35And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:32:45I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:32:47That's okay.
00:32:49Mm.
00:32:49Shall we head home?
00:32:53Yeah.
00:32:54Yeah.
00:32:54Hey, Alan.
00:33:09Thanks for organizing the suit.
00:33:11And thanks for organizing Blake's dress too.
00:33:13She loves it.
00:33:13Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:15Gotta go.
00:33:16See you.
00:33:18All right.
00:33:19I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:20Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:21No, it's fine.
00:33:23No, it's, uh, oh, I see.
00:33:26You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:31Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:35I didn't, I wasn't saying.
00:33:41I was joking.
00:33:44Okay, well, I'm going to get the suit back.
00:33:45No, you're not.
00:33:46I'm, I'm sorry.
00:33:51No, no, don't apologize.
00:33:56Um, you 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.
00:34:08Good work.
00:34:23What is it?
00:34:26Your assistant is so rude.
00:34:28How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:31You better teach them some manners, or I'm going to make a complaint.
00:34:35Bria, your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:37Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:42Look, I'm here to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:50You know you can't replace me.
00:34:54Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:34:56Bria, you have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:02Now that your plans have failed, you cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again.
00:35:06What are you talking about, breached my contract?
00:35:09I went on vacation.
00:35:11What, you didn't tell me anything.
00:35:13Or Ben, so I took it as your resignation.
00:35:16Okay, so, take this and draw up a new contract and let's get back into it.
00:35:21I'm getting back with Ben, anyway.
00:35:23Bria, my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:27Thomas, you're trusting me with a house key, huh?
00:35:57I should let him know.
00:36:08Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:36:10I will interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:36:27What if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:36:33Ben?
00:36:35Ben?
00:36:37Ben?
00:36:39Ben?

00:54:44well i was taking pictures of them like you asked and then ben left blake by herself and ria
00:54:52showed up and then she started this argument and she slapped her
00:54:59she's really crossed the line this time write an article about this we need to cause this scandal so
00:55:03she leaves us alone look i'm really sorry but i'm only paid to write for ben

00:55:56have to do this in the first place look she wrote those articles i know i know please take a seat
00:56:04she wrote those articles on you in the first place therefore she has the audience we need
00:56:08don't you see she wrote one story about you and the old rumors died
00:56:14this is because people trust her
00:56:15one good deed does not make her a good person okay i don't trust her
00:56:20i know i know i don't trust her either
00:56:24but i've got a plan okay she is useful
00:56:30still
00:56:31ben
00:56:33in my years of managing i've learned one thing
00:56:36sometimes you need to take the risk
00:56:38whatever okay i just don't want to get blake involved in this
00:56:45okay we can't drag her into this mess no i know it's so sad what happened to her last night

00:58:16Do you fear me?
00:58:18Fear you?
00:58:20I mean why else?
00:58:21Why would you call this soon?
00:58:23Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:26Can you keep it down?
00:58:28Someone could heal us.
00:58:29It'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 heal.
00:58:55Their relationship.
00:58:56The whole thing.
00:58:57It's fake.
00:58:58They've got a contract.
00:59:00It's all for publicity.
00:59:02Expose her.
00:59:04Priya, this isn't enough.
00:59:06I know that.
00:59:08That should be enough.
00:59:15Now, do it.
00:59:18Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:21And if you do it, and it works, I'll agree to go on a date with you.
00:59:29Do you promise?
00:59:31Anything for a date with you.
00:59:32Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:33Say it with a smile.
00:59:34Be nice, Alan.
00:59:35Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:36See, that's what I'm talking about.
00:59:38How do you want to go about this?
00:59:39People already know you're dating.
00:59:40Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct at burnout relationship
00:59:45status.
00:59:46Alright.
00:59:47What about you, Blake?
00:59:48I'm sorry.
00:59:49I'm sorry.
00:59:50I'm sorry.
00:59:51I'm sorry.
00:59:52I'm sorry.
00:59:53I'm sorry.
00:59:54I'm sorry.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:56I'm sorry.
00:59:57I'm sorry.
00:59:58You're sorry.
00:59:59I'm sorry.
01:00:00I'm sorry.
01:00:01I'm sorry.
01:00:02I'm sorry.
01:00:03I'm sorry.
01:00:04You're sorry.
01:00:05I'm sorry.
01:00:06Alright. And what about you, Blake? Your contract?
01:00:10Let's just end the contract here. We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:00:16Alright. And what about your secretary, Jo? Still going to continue with that?
01:00:23Yeah, I'll still keep my job at home.
01:00:25Alright. Well, she's made up her mind.
01:00:36No way. You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:00:50I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:00:52Yeah, let me see.
01:00:53You need to clear it. I'm going to go see it like she's not feeling well.
01:00:57Love, of course, of course. I understand.
01:01:01You need to listen to me for a second.
01:01:03I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hired her.
01:01:09Yeah, I told you that before.
01:01:11But you didn't listen to me. And 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.
01:01:20What am I supposed- Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:23How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:24Just- Just talk to her. I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:28You do your job. I'll do mine.
01:01:33What's in the bag?
01:01:45Where are you going?
01:01:48Hey, you can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:01:52What does it look like you're doing, Ben? I'm leaving.
01:01:56But no, you can't leave. We can fix this. It's not over-
01:02:00No, no. Everything about me is on the internet, okay?
01:02:03I-I can't take it anymore. People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:02:08You're not fake.
01:02:09Blake, just-just give me a chance, okay? I can fix everything.
01:02:13I can't do this anymore, Ben. This isn't me. This isn't who I am.
01:02:20Blake, I love you so much. Just-
01:02:24Let me do something to fix it. I promise.
01:02:26Go!
01:02:28Just go. I can't- I can't do this anymore.
01:02:32Just go.
01:02:35Good work, Oliver. Anything for you?
01:02:52So, um, where's your part of the deal?
01:02:57I think I already paid you.
01:03:00Yeah. Yeah, you did. Um, I'm talking about our date.
01:03:06Oliver, I was just kidding.
01:03:11You were kidding?
01:03:13Yeah, I-I thought you realised 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.
01:03:31They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:35Wait, so you-you think I can't do my job without you?
01:03:39Obviously. I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:44Wow.
01:03:46But-
01:03:48I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:03:52I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:03:55You understand.
01:03:59Okay, I'm-
01:04:01It's really-
01:04:02On the same level as you.
01:04:08We'll see about that.
01:04:12Hello?
01:04:20Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's sick right now. That'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.
01:04:37Please pick up Ben.
01:04:47This is the legal notice I'm writing here.
01:04:54Fine and double the amount paid.
01:05:00It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:07It's not negotiable.
01:05:13I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:17Fine.
01:05:18But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:05:21Let's take down Ria together.
01:05:24Are 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.
01:05:37But 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.
01:05:46She's started all this.
01:05:58I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:04Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:06:16What?
01:06:20Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:23No, no, no more.
01:06:40I understand your decision to leave, but I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:06:45But in the end, it's your life.
01:06:48I 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.
01:07:02The chats have been made public.
01:07:07Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:07:10And we'll write a statement for you.
01:07:12And 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?
01:07:29You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked. It's so hard to achieve.
01:07:39That'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.
01:07:52Blank.
01:07:57Just take a check, please.
01:07:59I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:08:05See ya.
01:08:07Safe.
01:08:21Thank you for bearing with me.
01:08:23Why are you here, Ben?
01:08:24So, you've decided to leave?
01:08:25That's alright.
01:08:26Just let me drop you off.
01:08:27And I...
01:08:28Please.
01:08:29One last time.
01:08:31It's fine.
01:08:32You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:34I don't deserve to have you.
01:08:36All I've done is just quit.
01:08:38You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:40I don't deserve to have you.
01:08:42All I've done is just quit.
01:08:44It's fine.
01:08:52You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:55I don't deserve to have you.
01:08:58All I've done is just cause you trouble, and...
01:09:02you've had enough trouble because of me.
01:09:05So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:11It's not about you, Ben.
01:09:15You have dedicated your entire life to your career,
01:09:18and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:09:21All that matters for me is you.
01:09:23And without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:27I know, Ben.
01:09:30I'm glad you did.
01:09:35I'm gonna, um...
01:09:37I'm gonna walk from here.
01:09:39You shouldn't come.
01:09:44Hey.
01:09:54Do you wanna come meet my family?
01:09:55I'm gonna walk from here.
01:09:56Welcome.
01:09:57Welcome.
01:10:01Welcome.
01:10:03Welcome.
