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.
00:00:17His 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.
00:00:50Why?
00:00:52Because you are going to be the lead.
00:00:56You will be the biggest star ever.
00:01:02Fasten your seatbelt then.
00:01:04It's time to fly.
00:01:10Everything just feels so unreal.
00:01:13That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:15What's with the fun?
00:01:21No.
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.
00:01:36But don't you worry.
00:01:37Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:40You are a superstar.
00:01:46A 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.
00:02:03You're scaring me.
00:02:03You're scaring me.
00:02:04You're scaring me.
00:02:05You're scaring me.
00:02:06You're scaring me.
00:02:07You're scaring me.
00:02:08You're scaring me.
00:02:09I think we're in trouble.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:31Please speak up.
00:02:32Please speak up.
00:02:33Hi.
00:02:34Hi.
00:02:35Sorry.
00:02:36I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:39Yes.
00:02:41My name is Blake.
00:02:43Number 56.
00:02:48There are no sauce left.
00:02:51Um.
00:02:52I'm sorry.
00:02:52But you told me to wait.
00:02:57No.
00:02:58No.
00:02:58This isn't fair.
00:02:59You need to reconsider me.
00:03:01What?
00:03:02Hello?
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.
00:03:16Who's...
00:03:16I'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.
00:03:52Screw you.
00:03:57I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:03People just need gossip.
00:04:08Hello?
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.
00:04:27No, 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.
00:04:42Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:43What?
00:04:51What story?
00:04:52Send her it.
00:04:57Hey, what story?
00:04:59Who are you?
00:05:01Well, uh...
00:05:03There's not really a story as such.
00:05:07It's as important as that.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:13Since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:17I just wanted to come here in person
00:05:20and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:25Okay.
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.
00:05:36Look, I've got a lot to deal with,
00:05:38so can you please do your rant elsewhere.
00:05:44Are you going to go,
00:05:45or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:50Okay.
00:05:50Look, um...
00:05:52I'm sorry, I just...
00:05:54I really need a job right now.
00:05:57This isn't a request, then, though.
00:05:59Please.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02Well, you know what?
00:06:04I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:08Sorry.
00:06:09Are you blind?
00:06:12Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:15Who is that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:17Right.
00:06:26We need to focus on the people who do recognise you.
00:06:28Ben,
00:06:29I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:34I don't understand why these reporters
00:06:36enjoy 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?
00:06:43You can date who you want to,
00:06:48but there's rumours.
00:06:49Like,
00:06:50it ruins your identity.
00:06:52Like,
00:06:52do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:55Obviously 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
00:07:03these rumours aren't true,
00:07:05but they keep on printing stories
00:07:06to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:11What if we did something?
00:07:12To 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,
00:07:25it would kill the boss.
00:07:27I don't know,
00:07:28it'd put us on the right path
00:07:30to fix Thomas' image
00:07:32and my identity.
00:07:35My question is how.
00:07:40I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:42Everything sucks.
00:08:01You know what?
00:08:03I've decided
00:08:03I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:05Nope.
00:08:07Staying here
00:08:08for eternity.
00:08:11It's settled.
00:08:17I mean,
00:08:18I don't want to have to go back to my village,
00:08:22but
00:08:23I've got no one wants to go.
00:08:26I don't want to go.
00:08:29I mean,
00:08:30everyone will laugh at me
00:08:30if I go back.
00:08:47No!
00:08:48I think I have to go back.
00:09:14This is so good.
00:09:18Nope, nope, completely not, not answering and with all of the skin.
00:09:44What is it, Mum?
00:09:58Um, hey.
00:10:01Yeah?
00:10:02Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:06I hope you remember me.
00:10:08You 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?
00:10:19Well, I have a job for you.
00:10:35I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:39Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:41Your idea.
00:10:42It's absurd.
00:10:44I'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.
00:11:02You sure?
00:11:03Are you sure?
00:11:04Send her in.
00:11:10Still not sure about this girl.
00:11:14Come in.
00:11:18Please, take a seat.
00:11:21Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:23Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:25Didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:27Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:30So, I got a job for you.
00:11:35Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:37Oh, sorry.
00:11:38It'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?
00:11:53So, you want me to fake date Ben, for time being?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:11:59It's as simple as that.
00:12:02Okay, but...
00:12:04Who's Ben?
00:12:08How do you not know Ben?
00:12:09Like...
00:12:11You 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, like...
00:12:23Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:30I am Ben.
00:12:33Will you do me this favour?
00:12:40No.
00:12:41I can't believe that just happened!
00:12:53Oh, my God!
00:12:55Oh, my God!
00:12:56Oh, my God!
00:12:57Oh, my God!
00:12:58Oh, my God!
00:12:59Oh, my God, I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:13:13What the...
00:13:15What the...
00:13:16I...
00:13:20I...
00:13:20I can't do it!
00:13:26I...
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...
00:13:36I guess I've got to keep packing them.
00:13:39Um...
00:13:46I saw them!
00:13:47I'm sorry.
00:13:49I'm sorry.
00:13:54I'm sorry.
00:14:03Yeah, Mom, 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? Are you crazy or what?
00:14:44I told you an excellent plan. Now it's your part to play. Just make it work.
00:14:49Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:14:52Fine. It was a really good plan.
00:14:55Well, why are you so stubborn about this girl? Why can't I find you another one? A better one? One that's a better actor?
00:15:02No. It has to be this girl. I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fair girlfriend.
00:15:07Then we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:11I agree. So convince her.
00:15:13Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl. And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:20Well, for a starter, she's different. Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me. If we want to do this, right, it plays better if she's not obsessed with me. It makes it more believable.
00:15:35Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's already giving an interview right now. All right. I'll book him in for an interview with you as well. Yeah. All right. Ben's stopping this girl is the next level.
00:16:04Please pick up Blake. We need a plan B. Who is it? It's me. Blake. Please come in. Take a seat.
00:16:33I hope we're alone in him. Oh, of course. I need me back. I need a job, Alan. Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in the first place. No. No. A proper job with a proper designation. Look. Look. I'll... I'll do anything. Okay, but I can't do this. What will I tell my parents? That I'm... what? Someone's fake girlfriend? That's...
00:17:01That's not something I would want to tell them. I... Blake, it's what I said. It's... It's... It's not a job. It's more of a favor.
00:17:11Okay. Fine. Then I can't do it, then.
00:17:15Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:16I really wish I could help you, Alan. But... I can't. I'm really sorry.
00:17:26Oh, God.
00:17:27Blake, please. Come on.
00:17:28Why didn't you tell me she was here? You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her and you just let her go?
00:17:39Like, she didn't give me the chance. She just walked right out.
00:17:42And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:44Like, I've never seen you this way before unless you really respect someone.
00:17:47Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:57No, no, I haven't. It's nothing like that. It's... It's not.
00:18:01Then what? What is it with her?
00:18:02I just think that we need to disprove the rumors as soon as possible.
00:18:05So what? I should just call her right away?
00:18:07Yeah, call her.
00:18:09Ben.
00:18:10Look, Alan, I gave you a job. You failed. Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:15Look, you've got to be kidding me.
00:18:16I've got a family dinner now. Text me her number. Okay?
00:18:21Now.
00:18:45Look, I'm busy, so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:05It's... It's Ben.
00:19:08Ben Cooper?
00:19:09Look, if you're busy, then that's okay. I can call tomorrow.
00:19:14No.
00:19:16Um, I mean, you know, I can talk. Sorry, I didn't recognize your voice.
00:19:23That's okay. We haven't talked before, so 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. Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:36Um, I... I'm busy tomorrow. Sorry.
00:19:44I just need a few minutes of your time. If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I can meet you at yours?
00:19:50No. No, I'll... I'll come.
00:19:56Great. I'll text you the address. See you tomorrow.
00:20:00Why don't you have a seat? Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:09Thanks.
00:20:10Would you like a coffee?
00:20:11Uh, yeah. Thank you.
00:20:15It's a strange video.
00:20:21Here you are.
00:20:25You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:20:34Well, it's my home.
00:20:36I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:39Your home.
00:20:41This is...
00:20:42This is your home.
00:20:44Is that a problem?
00:20:45No!
00:20:46No, I just, um...
00:20:48Yeah, I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:50It's kind of...
00:20:52Intimate.
00:20:54Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:20:58Um, so...
00:20:59What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:02I wanted to ask.
00:21:03Why are you running away from me?
00:21:05I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:08Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:10Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:12You know, I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:17I know.
00:21:19Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:23What if...
00:21:24I offered you a different role.
00:21:30As my secretary.
00:21:32That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name,
00:21:36and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:40Um...
00:21:41Okay, well, it's still not a job.
00:21:45I want a long-term job.
00:21:47You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:49I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:52How much do you need?
00:21:53Is it about money?
00:21:55No, it's not about money.
00:22:00What if I...
00:22:02Offer to hire you full-time?
00:22:04Full-time secretary.
00:22:06Permanently.
00:22:07I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:22:11Why me?
00:22:15Because I just like you.
00:22:17I mean, for this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:21Okay, but there are so many other people that you could pick from.
00:22:26There's something different about you.
00:22:28Look, I've offered you the role with a part to play along.
00:22:34Are you in?
00:22:41I'm in.
00:22:42Ria.
00:22:53What are you doing?
00:22:57Don't treat me like this.
00:22:58How 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.
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:09Honey, no.
00:23:10Just...
00:23:11You don't need to pretend.
00:23:14You've been saving me time and time again.
00:23:15This is no different.
00:23:18I'm here, thank you.
00:23:20Just get off, okay?
00:23:22You need to get out.
00:23:23This is the contract.
00:23:32This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:36We will renew it, of course, so you don't have to worry.
00:23:38I'm sorry.
00:23:53You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:56Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:23:58No, no, not at all.
00:23:59I just...
00:24:01I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:02Okay, why do you even need a secretary when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:11Well, I mean, Alan looks after the whole agency.
00:24:15So 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 helpful.
00:24:22Look, it's my decision, okay?
00:24:25And, Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:26No, I never said that.
00:24:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:57Relax.
00:25:06You look tense.
00:25:09Um, I could have bought my own food and drink, so you don't have to.
00:25:13Don't be silly.
00:25:14I was buying things for myself, so I'm more than happy to buy you some things.
00:25:19Listen, 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 using my money to get to you.
00:25:29I just want you to know, it's not like that.
00:25:32I don't.
00:25:32I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:41Seriously?
00:25:42Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:46It was tough, and all that happened before I met Alan.
00:25:51And once I met him, he is such a generous man, and he looked after me like his own brother.
00:25:57And now you've met him, too.
00:25:58So you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:03I 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.
00:26:20I promise that I'll try my best, even if it asks for sacrifices.
00:26:25No, it shouldn't require any sacrifices.
00:26:28Your dedication is enough.
00:26:30Oh, my God.
00:26:37I'm so sorry.
00:26:39I'm meeting someone.
00:26:40I've got to go.
00:26:41Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:42No, it's okay.
00:26:44It's not that far.
00:26:44I can just walk.
00:26:45Okay.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:49See you.
00:26:49See you.
00:26:52See you.
00:26:53See you.
00:26:54See you.
00:26:55See you.
00:26:56See you.
00:26:57See you.
00:26:58See you.
00:27:00I really should stop reading these.
00:27:07Take a seat.
00:27:19Why'd you call me?
00:27:20Nah, straight to the point.
00:27:24Look, 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.
00:27:30I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:33We really should pay for all the wrong information your stupid article spreads.
00:27:40I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:43Look, I have a task.
00:27:48And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:49I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:53What kind of task?
00:27:58I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:01I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:04You just need to put Ben in the spotlight since you're a well-known horror.
00:28:06What kind of articles?
00:28:11What kind of articles?
00:28:13I'll tell you what you've signed, I'll tell you.
00:28:16And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:21If anything gets spread, I won't hesitate and I'll see you right away.
00:28:25No.
00:28:28Fine.
00:28:30Consider it done.
00:28:34Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:37Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:39Hey, it's alright
00:28:54Sorry, 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
00:29:09So, why are you standing there?
00:29:15What do you mean?
00:29:16I'm waiting for you to get ready
00:29:17You're supposed to pick up my clothes for the day
00:29:22Is that sorry?
00:29:23Yeah
00:29:23Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:35Hello?
00:29:38Yeah
00:29:38I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon
00:29:40Alright
00:29:42Okay
00:29:43Bye
00:29:44Alright, Ben
00:29:46We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening
00:29:49Oh, wait
00:29:52I've got an appointment
00:29:53Appointment?
00:29:55Yeah
00:29:56It's alright, it's my own personal business
00:29:59I'll take care of it some other time
00:30:00No, that's alright
00:30:01Blake can accompany me
00:30:02Me
00:30:03Alright
00:30:06Alright, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening
00:30:10So you ready for the task?
00:30:15What task?
00:30:17Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place
00:30:20Oh, no
00:30:20Yes
00:30:21Sorry, forgot
00:30:23So, what's the plan?
00:30:30It's your plan
00:30:30You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it
00:30:33Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:37I'll publicise it
00:30:38You 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
00:30:45No
00:30:46Too busy for that
00:30:47Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:51Already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:52Oh
00:30:52And that'll never happen, Ben?
00:31:01Yes
00:31:02Okay
00:31:03Alright, thank you so much
00:31:04Bye
00:31:05I never expected you to take calls for me
00:31:10Oh, well
00:31:11You know, I am your secretary
00:31:13So it's kind of my job
00:31:14Sure
00:31:15Question, by the way
00:31:19Why don't you have a driver?
00:31:24I mean, you know
00:31:25So 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
00:31:34Um, I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes
00:31:43Yeah, well, I have you now
00:31:46To drive me
00:31:47You've got your licence, right?
00:31:49I'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
00:32:05Helping 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
00:32:18Oh
00:32:19Yeah
00:32:20You 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
00:32:35So
00:32:36And I'm talking too much about myself
00:32:45I'm, I'm so sorry
00:32:46That's okay
00:32:48Shall we head home?
00:32:53Yeah
00:33:06Hey, Alan
00:33:08Thanks for organising the suit
00:33:10And thanks for organising Blake's dress too
00:33:13She loves it
00:33:13Yeah, thank you, Alan
00:33:15Alright
00:33:15Gotta go
00:33:16See you
00:33:17Alright, I'll go grab the suit
00:33:20Oh, no, I got it
00:33:21No, it's fine
00:33:23No, it's, uh
00:33:24Oh, I see
00:33:26You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:29Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:35I didn't
00:33:36I wasn't
00:33:37Saying
00:33:39I was joking
00:33:43Okay, well, I'm gonna get the suit now
00:33:45No, you're not
00:33:46I'm, I'm sorry
00:33:51No, no, don't apologise
00:33:54Um, you know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it
00:34:01I think you look great in the dress
00:34:04I'm gonna go grab the suit
00:34:07Now
00:34:08Good luck
00:34:18What is it?
00:34:26Your assistant is so rude
00:34:29How dare she grab me by my arm
00:34:30You better teach them some manners
00:34:33Or I'm gonna make a complaint
00:34:34Rhea
00:34:35Your drama doesn't work here
00:34:37Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR
00:34:41Look
00:34:43I'm here
00:34:45To give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress
00:34:50You know you can't replace me
00:34:52Sorry, I just read something funny
00:34:55Rhea
00:34:56You have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad
00:35:01Now that your plans have failed
00:35:03You cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again
00:35:06What are you talking about?
00:35:08Breached my contract
00:35:09I went on vacation
00:35:10What?
00:35:11You didn't tell me anything
00:35:13Or Ben
00:35:14So I took it as your resignation
00:35:15Okay
00:35:17Okay, so
00:35:17Take this
00:35:19And draw up a new contract
00:35:20And let's get back into it
00:35:21I'm getting back with Ben
00:35:23Anyway
00:35:23Rhea
00:35:24My books are full
00:35:26And I'm not taking any more clients
00:35:28But we're
00:35:29Trusting me with a house key, huh?
00:35:57I should let him know
00:36:07Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:36:11I'll interrupt whatever he's doing
00:36:12Ben?
00:36:33Ben?
00:36:34Ben?
00:36:36Ben!
00:37:00Not Ben?
00:37:02Fox!
00:37:04What, you're not gonna say hello?
00:37:07Hi.
00:37:09Um, sorry, I thought you would be busy so I just can't...
00:37:12No, that's okay, you've got keys.
00:37:14Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:16Hungry?
00:37:18Um, 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.
00:37:25Bye.
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.
00:37:42You wanna 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.
00:37:50Okay.
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.
00:38:02It's...
00:38:03Can't all...
00:38:04Just bring it back a little.
00:38:06Just...
00:38:22Hey Alan, I know I'm late.
00:38:23Sorry.
00:38:24Um, what's up?
00:38:25What?
00:38:29Alright.
00:38:31What's up?
00:38:33Alan says there's an article about us.
00:38:37Come on, let's go.
00:38:52Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:38:54Yeah, me too.
00:38:56Exactly.
00:38:57We haven't even done anything yet.
00:38:59It's like 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:02But I was just helping her.
00:39:06Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:09What's your problem? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:39:11Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:39:15Sometimes things don't go the way that you planned, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:39:19You don't think it's too sudden?
00:39:22Too sudden?
00:39:23Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:25Oh, I'm sorry Blake, I didn't mean that.
00:39:31No.
00:39:32No, it's the truth, right?
00:39:34But that's just a side task, right?
00:39:37You are my secretary.
00:39:39And it's what you approached me for.
00:39:42It's fine.
00:39:43Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:39:45See?
00:39:46There's no problem here.
00:39:48Okay.
00:39:50Well, let's move it forward.
00:39:51Alright.
00:39:52So Ben, do you have a plan?
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:56Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:39:57Um, so that explicit event we're going to tomorrow.
00:40:11Um, are you taking me as your date?
00:40:15Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:17No, no, can't, can't do that. Too embarrassing.
00:40:21That's what I told Alan.
00:40:22It's not that, I just, I'm ready to do whatever, I just feel like it might be too much.
00:40:32Eventually, 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.
00:40:44I was scared, I didn't know how everyone was going to react, whether they like what I'd done, whether they hate it.
00:40:53Then I was alone.
00:40:55Your fear is justified, Blake, but you're not alone.
00:40:59We'll do this together.
00:41:01Alright. I'll go with you.
00:41:12I think we're being stalked.
00:41:17There's an opportunity here.
00:41:20For what?
00:41:22May I?
00:41:23No.
00:41:29Okay.
00:41:30Alright, natural.
00:41:40Are you going home now?
00:41:42Yeah.
00:41:43Yeah, no, I will miss my bus, but 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.
00:41:57Okay.
00:41:59This is for you.
00:42:01Oh, 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.
00:42:13Um, are you serious?
00:42:15It's just for your work, so you can drive me places and get home alright.
00:42:22I... 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 help you.
00:42:34But, I...
00:42:36Please, take it.
00:42:38Okay? It'll make me happy.
00:42:40And you need to practice your driving skills, so...
00:42:42Um...
00:42:45Thank you!
00:42:57Thank you, Ben.
00:43:03I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:17There is no way I kissed Vancouver today.
00:43:24Oh my god.
00:43:26No. No.
00:43:28Just my job.
00:43:30Just my job.
00:43:31No.
00:43:39Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:50Listen.
00:43:52We 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, thank you very much.
00:44:01Okay.
00:44:03Bye.
00:44:05Ben, what the hell?
00:44:07What do you mean?
00:44:09You told me to go ahead, and I did it.
00:44:12This is just the start.
00:44:14You freaking kissed Blake.
00:44:15I thought you were going to start small by, like, giving her a handshake, or just a hug.
00:44:23Is it working?
00:44:27That's the goal.
00:44:30What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:44:33Explain yourself!
00:44:35Explain what, and why?
00:44:37Don't play dumb with me. You 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. Can you get over that already?
00:44:52You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:44:55Just when are you going to drop that?
00:44:58I 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. You 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.
00:45:23No, no!
00:45:24You can't just act like this was all nothing between us!
00:45:29Ben!
00:45:30Alan, just please ask her to leave.
00:45:32Rhea, please.
00:45:41So you're...
00:45:43Blake.
00:45:45Hey, Blake.
00:45:47Let me drive you back to my place.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:54I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:46:00You know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:46:04Why is that?
00:46:06Because you don't pay attention to the road, and...
00:46:09you don't think when you're angry.
00:46:12I'm being serious.
00:46:14Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:46:17I like to drive to distract myself.
00:46:20I can't help.
00:46:21Oh.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:25What do you do when you're angry?
00:46:29Um...
00:46:33I guess I just...
00:46:35like to go somewhere alone a day.
00:46:38Let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:46:42I usually drive alone.
00:46:46Well, you don't have to anymore. You've got me now.
00:46:48Always.
00:46:55Listen, I'm...
00:46:56I'm sorry about the mess.
00:46:58I am very busy, as you know.
00:47:00I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:47:03I can tell.
00:47:05Um...
00:47:07I 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.
00:47:31You look beautiful.
00:47:33I can see you're nervous.
00:47:35Don't be.
00:47:37I'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.
00:47:50Okay.
00:47:51Look, the plan is...
00:47:53to make everyone think that we're a real couple.
00:47:56So I found a place by Lake that is famous for being...
00:47:59for 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 first successful, then.
00:48:08What happened?
00:48:09Mm-hmm.
00:48:12Shall we complete the look?
00:48:14Please.
00:48:30Done.
00:48:31Let's go.
00:48:39Are you okay?
00:48:41I just, um...
00:48:43I forgot that so many people might be watching us.
00:48:46Just remember, we're making the headlines for tomorrow.
00:48:49Yeah, no, that's horrifying.
00:48:51You know, I thought it would, um...
00:48:56We'll just be, you know, fake laughing with you, but, um...
00:49:00It's actually kind of real.
00:49:03Well, I told you.
00:49:05I like you because you're real.
00:49:07All these other girls that I've met before...
00:49:10Like, they all know who I am.
00:49:12Like, before you, I hadn't met someone that didn't know me.
00:49:15Someone that wasn't already obsessed with me.
00:49:25Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:49:27Yeah, should we go?
00:49:29Let's go.
00:49:31You wait there, I'll go get the car.
00:49:36Yeah.
00:49:42Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:49:45Huh?
00:49:48You know he's just using you.
00:49:49Always does that.
00:49:54What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:49:56Ben is mine.
00:49:58I won't let you steal him from me.
00:50:00Really?
00:50:01Stop being delusional.
00:50:02He wants nothing to do with you!
00:50:03To do with you!
00:50:12Don't you ever mess with me!
00:50:33Hey!
00:50:39Wait, what happened?
00:50:43Hang on, stay where you are, I'm coming, okay?
00:50:47Blake!
00:50:48Hey!
00:50:50Hey, Blake!
00:50:52What happened? Are you okay?
00:50:56You said Ria did something?
00:50:58Yeah?
00:51:00Let's get you home.
00:51:02Really?
00:51:07I'm so sorry.
00:51:08I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I don't want to talk about it, Ben.
00:51:14That's okay.
00:51:16I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:51:18I'm so sorry.
00:51:20Yeah, let's go home.
00:51:21Um, do you want your jacket back?
00:51:29No!
00:51:30No, you keep it.
00:51:33You can take the car, I can just take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:36No, no, I'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 alright?
00:51:48No, no, it's fine.
00:51:51I was, it's silly.
00:51:52No!
00:51:53It's, um...
00:51:56Come on in.
00:51:57Okay.
00:52:07Um, sorry, it's very small.
00:52:10No, it's...
00:52:11It's cozy.
00:52:14Listen, about today, I...
00:52:17I don't have the words.
00:52:19I feel ashamed.
00:52:20It's fine, Ben.
00:52:22No, it's not.
00:52:25Every job has its challenges and this is just...
00:52:28Please, please, stop.
00:52:31Okay?
00:52:32This is something that can never be justified.
00:52:35I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:52:44Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me.
00:52:47I'm just your secretary.
00:52:49You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary.
00:52:55You're more than that to me.
00:53:00What do you mean?
00:53:01I mean...
00:53:08I think...
00:53:10I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:53:16Since...
00:53:18Since when?
00:53:19To be honest, I don't know.
00:53:21I mean, when I...
00:53:23When I first met you, I wanted to get to know you better.
00:53:26And...
00:53:27I spoke to Alan, and...
00:53:29We had a role for you to play.
00:53:31But...
00:53:32I want you to know that I've...
00:53:33Loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:53:39But after today...
00:53:41If you want to end the contract here...
00:53:43That's okay.
00:53:44I...
00:53:45I understand.
00:53:47And...
00:53:48Please don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:53:51I just want it to be true to myself.
00:53:52Can I...
00:53:53Kiss you?
00:53:54Because I...
00:53:55I really want to.
00:53:57Can I kiss you?
00:54:01Can I kiss you?
00:54:02Because I...
00:54:04I really want to.
00:54:05Please tell me...
00:54:11I've always did it.
00:54:21I don't want to talk to you...
00:54:25Yes?
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:29Send...
00:54:32That one!
00:54:33What happened last night? What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of-
00:54:37Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene.
00:54:41When will she leave us alone? What did she do exactly?
00:54:45Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
00:54:51And then, and Ria showed up, and Ria showed up at this argument, and this slapped her.
00:54:59She's really crossed the line this time.
00:55:02Write an article 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.
00:55:22Consider it done.
00:55:28Who is this?
00:55:29She's a reporter.
00:55:31And what are you doing?
00:55:34Look, I hired her.
00:55:41Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
00:55:43It wasn't important.
00:55:45The heck, Alan? You hired the reporter! You know what she's done!
00:55:49I know, I know, I know. But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:55:53Of course! Right? She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place!
00:55:58Look, she wrote those articles!
00:56:00I know, I know. Please. Take a seat.
00:56:02Take a seat.
00:56:05She wrote those articles on you in the first place, therefore she has the audience we need.
00:56:10Don't you see?
00:56:12She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died!
00:56:15This is because people trust her!
00:56:17One good deed does not make her a good person, okay? I don't trust her.
00:56:21I know, I know. I don't trust her either.
00:56:26But I've got a plan, okay? She is useful.
00:56:28Still.
00:56:32Ben, in my years of managing I've learnt one thing.
00:56:37Sometimes you need to take the risk.
00:56:41Whatever.
00:56:43Okay, I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
00:56:46Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
00:56:48No, I know. So say what happened to her last night.
00:56:53I mean, where is she? Why isn't she with you?
00:56:55Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:56:59We can't do this without her! How are we going to do her next-
00:57:02She's just taking a break today.
00:57:04Everything's fine.
00:57:05But...
00:57:07I do need to tell you something.
00:57:22It smells so good.
00:57:26What time did you wake up?
00:57:28I woke up just after you left.
00:57:32I can't stay away from you for long.
00:57:33Mm-mm.
00:57:49Food's ready.
00:57:57How will we eat later?
00:57:58Why'd you call?
00:58:14Don't lie down with me.
00:58:17Do you fear me?
00:58:19Fear you?
00:58:20I mean, why else?
00:58:22Why would you call this soon?
00:58:24Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:27Can you keep it down?
00:58:29Someone could hear us.
00:58:31It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me.
00:58:35How many times do I have to tell you?
00:58:37This is not about defaming Ben.
00:58:38I just wanted him to get back with me.
00:58:41But I do need your help.
00:58:44I have some intel on Blake that I think you're going to want to hear.
00:58:49They're not.
00:58:52They're not.
00:58:56Their relationship.
00:58:58The whole thing looks fake.
00:59:00They've got a contract.
00:59:02It's all for publicity.
00:59:04Expose her.
00:59:06Rhea, this isn't enough.
00:59:07I know that.
00:59:13That should be now.
00:59:18Now, do it.
00:59:20Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:24And if you do it, and it works, I'll agree to go on a date with you.
00:59:30Do you promise?
00:59:33Promise?
00:59:35Anything for a date with you.
00:59:44Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:46Say it with a smile. Be nice, Alan.
00:59:51Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:54See, that's what I'm talking about.
00:59:56Well, how do you want to go about this?
00:59:59People already know you're dating.
01:00:01Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct
01:00:04about our relationship status.
01:00:06Alright.
01:00:08What about you, Blake?
01:00:10Your contract?
01:00:12Let's just end the contract here.
01:00:14We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:00:17Alright.
01:00:18And what about your secretary, Gerald?
01:00:20Still going to continue with that?
01:00:21Yeah, I'll still keep my job, Alan.
01:00:26Alright.
01:00:28Well, she's made up her mind.
01:00:29No way.
01:00:43You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:00:45I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:00:46Yeah, let me see.
01:00:47You need to clear it.
01:00:48Hey, I'm going to go see it like she's not feeling well.
01:00:49Love, of course, of course.
01:00:50I understand.
01:00:51You need to listen to me for a second.
01:00:53I'm sorry.
01:00:55I shouldn't have hired all of her.
01:00:57Yeah, I told you that before, but you didn't listen to me.
01:00:59And now we're here, okay?
01:01:01She leaked all of Blake's information, including her home address in the village.
01:01:05She's not safe anymore.
01:01:07What am I supposed to...
01:01:09Do you understand how bad it was?
01:01:10You didn't listen to me.
01:01:11You didn't listen to me.
01:01:12She leaked all of Blake's information, including her home address in the village.
01:01:14She's not safe anymore.
01:01:16What am I supposed...
01:01:18Do you understand how bad...
01:01:19...but how bad it is?
01:01:20She's not safe anymore.
01:01:22What am I supposed- Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:24How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:26Just-
01:01:27Just talk to her. I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:30You do your job, I'll do mine.
01:01:44What's in the bag?
01:01:47Where are you going?
01:01:50Hey, you can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:01:55What does it look like doing, Ben? I'm leaving.
01:01:58But no, you can't leave.
01:02:00We can fix this, it's not over-
01:02:02No, no, everything about me is on the internet, okay?
01:02:05I can't take it anymore.
01:02:06People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake!
01:02:10You're not fake.
01:02:12Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:02:14I can fix everything.
01:02:16I can't do this anymore, Ben, this isn't me, this isn't who I am!
01:02:20Wait.
01:02:21I love you so much.
01:02:23Just-
01:02:25Let me do something to fix it, I promise.
01:02:27Go!
01:02:30Just go, I can't- I can't do this anymore.
01:02:35Just go.
01:02:36Good work, Oliver.
01:02:51Anything for you?
01:02:53So, um, where's your part of the deal?
01:02:57I think I already paid you.
01:03:00Yeah, yeah you did.
01:03:02Um, I'm talking about our date.
01:03:06Oliver, I was just kidding.
01:03:10You were kidding?
01:03:13Yeah, I- I thought you realised that.
01:03:16Look, we're just so different.
01:03:20What do you mean by that?
01:03:22Well, let's just say I'm really useful to lots of different journalists.
01:03:32They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:37Wait, so you- you think I can't do my job without you?
01:03:41Obviously.
01:03:42I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:46Wow.
01:03:47But-
01:03:51I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:03:53I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:03:56You understand.
01:04:01Okay, hold on.
01:04:03Please, hold on.
01:04:08On the same level as you.
01:04:12We'll see about that.
01:04:17Hello?
01:04:21Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:04:24Ben's sick right now.
01:04:25That's why he wasn't on set today.
01:04:28Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot, that would be amazing.
01:04:32Yeah.
01:04:34Yeah, thank you very much.
01:04:35All right.
01:04:37Okay, bye.
01:04:38Please pick up Ben.
01:04:41This is the legal notice I'm writing here.
01:04:56Fine and double the amount paid.
01:05:01Paid.
01:05:04It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:08It's not negotiable.
01:05:14I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:19Fine.
01:05:20But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:05:23Let's take down Ria together.
01:05:26Are you loyal to nobody? You really are a piece of work.
01:05:31Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:05:35All right.
01:05:37But 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.
01:05:46To write about Ben.
01:05:48She started all this.
01:05:59I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:05Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:06:16What?
01:06:22Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:41I understand your decision to leave.
01:06:43But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:06:49But in the end it's your life.
01:06:50I won't force you to do anything.
01:06:56Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:07:00She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:07:04The chats have been made public.
01:07:08Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:07:10And we'll write a statement for you.
01:07:14And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:07:19It's fine, Alan.
01:07:21You don't have to waste all that money on me.
01:07:23I'm just a regular person.
01:07:26So what?
01:07:28Regular people don't deserve respect?
01:07:29You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked so hard to achieve.
01:07:41That'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.
01:07:57Blake.
01:07:59Just take a check, please.
01:08:00I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:08:08See ya.
01:08:09Thank you for bearing with me.
01:08:30Why are you here, Vince?
01:08:32So...
01:08:34You've decided to leave?
01:08:36That's alright.
01:08:38Just let me drop you off.
01:08:40And I...
01:08:41Please.
01:08:42One last time.
01:08:46It's fine.
01:08:47You'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...
01:09:03You've had enough trouble because...
01:09:05So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:09It'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.
01:09:21All that matters to me is you.
01:09:24And...
01:09:25Without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:28I know, Ben.
01:09:30I'm glad you did.
01:09:35I'm gonna, um...
01:09:38I'm gonna...
01:09:39Walk from here.
01:09:40You should come.
01:09:44Hey.
01:09:54Do you want to come meet my family?
01:10:05Will.
01:10:06I've got the money.
01:10:07I've got the money.
01:10:09I've got the money that gets better.
01:10:11I've got the money.
01:10:12Will.
01:10:14I'm not gonna miss my time...
01:10:17되면 who it was, but you're at the wrong time...
01:10:20What I could say, what it is.
01:10:22Do you want to come, I've got the money right back on your daughter?
01:10:23In right now, heAngelo.
01:10:25You're doing some money to grow up.
01:10:26So...
01:10:28I am just custodians.
01:10:30Who do you think?
01:10:31You need help.
