00:00In this town, it's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client, for once he's sober, and on time, a publicist's stream.
00:18For a star, timing is everything.
00:22Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:28Stand tall. Sooner.
00:36Am I in your handiwork?
00:38Late as usual.
00:39Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:42Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent. The guy I've known longer than anyone. Dependable, intelligent, and annoyingly charming.
00:51Nice dress.
00:53Nice bow tie. Just needs a little adjustment here.
00:59How's our golden boy? Is he behaving himself, or are we in for his usual antics?
01:04He's playing nice. Give it an hour.
01:10What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:14Or less.
01:15What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:22What do you say?
01:25Niles?
01:27What happened?
01:29This loser shoved this camera in my face. It's on my bad side. I didn't even touch him. He's being dramatic.
01:33You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras. We need to fix this.
01:37Psst. Don't say anything else.
01:42Let's not make this bigger jail that it needs to be. We can solve this quietly. How about $1,000 in a camera?
01:49$1,000 in a camera.
01:51$5,000. You know, I'll play along with it.
01:54$5,000.
01:56You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
01:59It'll be him.
02:01Oh, man! I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:09Wow.
02:12So sweet.
02:13Great work, Niles.
02:21That was impressive.
02:22In Hollywood, connections are currency. Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out. But I keep them shining.
02:32What are you doing here?
02:39Give me that.
02:54Good morning, Miss Harrington. Your schedule's been moved around slightly. There's a last-minute addition of a potential new client meeting.
02:59Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:04Your schedule's been moved around slightly, there's a last minute addition of a potential
03:08new client meeting.
03:09Liam Sterling.
03:10Liam Sterling?
03:11That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:14He's looking to revamp his image.
03:17Interesting.
03:19When does he arrive?
03:29Mr. Sterling, welcome to Harrington PR.
03:45I am Pekino.
03:46I know who you are.
03:49Call me Liam.
03:50I know that I'm good at what I do, but Flattery won't get you any discounts.
03:56No discounts necessary.
03:59I'm here because I need a real change.
04:01Go on.
04:02I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless when he's acting.
04:05I mean, the hard crop thing, it's been fun, but it's not who I am.
04:10I want substance.
04:11Roles that really challenge me.
04:13If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy, and it won't happen overnight.
04:19Are you ready for that?
04:22It sounds easy with you by my side.
04:25Alright.
04:26We'll have to change your public persona.
04:29No more sexy magazine covers, and no more feeding into that heartthroppage.
04:34We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor, and you'll have to be selective about
04:39the projects you take, taking roles with depth, range.
04:44That's exactly what I want.
04:47I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com,
04:51where I spend more time in the gym than with the script.
04:53What?
04:54Well, consider this your permission step.
04:56But this is a partnership.
04:58You'll have to trust me.
05:00100%.
05:01I trust you, bud.
05:02You're the person I've been looking for.
05:03Hmm.
05:04We'll make it happen.
05:05I'm all in.
05:06Brooke?
05:07God, no.
05:08Um, this is my close friend, Avin.
05:10Oh.
05:11Well, nice to meet you.
05:12I'm Liam Sterling.
05:13I know who you are.
05:14I work closely with your agent.
05:15Brought you a coffee.
05:16I'll just live with Margaret.
05:17Thanks.
05:18You're the person I've been looking for.
05:19You're the person I've been looking for.
05:20Hmm.
05:21We'll make it happen.
05:22I'm all in.
05:23You're the person I've been looking for.
05:24You're the person I've been looking for.
05:25Oh, no.
05:26Um, this is my close friend, Avin.
05:27Oh.
05:28Well, nice to meet you.
05:29I'm Liam Sterling.
05:30I know who you are.
05:31I work closely with your agent.
05:32Brought you a coffee.
05:33I'll just live with Margaret.
05:34Thanks.
05:35He's a nice guy.
05:36You're sure he's not your boyfriend?
05:37I'm single.
05:38Mr. Sterling.
05:39Uh, Liam.
05:40Remember?
05:41Well.
05:42I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
05:43I'm, uh, I'm sure it will.
05:44You know, I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:01Hello?
06:19Who's there?
06:21I'm armed.
06:24What's that?
06:25With wine and flowers?
06:28I have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
06:30I mean, I guess this works.
06:41So, what's the occasion?
06:46Some say I'm cutthroat.
06:48Do they?
06:49I don't know.
06:50You don't look so cutthroat to me.
06:52Appearances may be deceiving.
06:55And yet, here I am with you.
06:59Well, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble.
07:02Maybe.
07:04Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:08And what would that be?
07:10When the real chemistry's right here.
07:12Between us.
07:14I don't know what you're talking about.
07:17Sure you don't.
07:20This wine is great.
07:23I have great taste.
07:25So, are we going to do something about this?
07:27Or are you just going to sit here enjoying the wine?
07:29Okay?
07:30I'll let you get some rest.
07:31No.
07:32Stay a little longer.
07:33I'll stay as long as you want.
07:36No.
07:37No.
07:38No.
07:39No.
07:40No.
07:41No.
07:42No.
07:43No.
07:44No.
07:45No.
07:46No.
07:47No.
07:48No.
07:49No.
07:50No.
07:51No.
07:52No.
07:53No.
07:54No.
08:04No.
08:05No.
08:13Shit.
08:14Shit.
08:21A good morning kiss?
08:22I don't think so.
08:24Come on.
08:28Last night was a mistake.
08:30Fun, but still a mistake.
08:34Yeah, I don't think I agree.
08:36You're my client.
08:38I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
08:41You know.
08:44You were great last night.
08:47Now, can you please just get dressed?
08:50If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career.
08:53Not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
08:55Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
08:58Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:04Everyone else would.
09:06I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
09:09The sooner we move past this,
09:12the sooner that I can get you and Lena,
09:15and your career moving forward.
09:17Sound good?
09:22No.
09:23But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
09:28Is that what you want, Brooke?
09:32Yes.
09:33That's what's best.
09:35Whatever you say.
09:37I'm sorry.
09:38At least we got it out of our systems.
09:40Call you later.
09:41Call you later.
09:51Amazing.
09:52The movie sucked aside from my scene.
09:53I met this guy at the after party.
09:55He's a bit older.
09:56A screenwriter.
09:57Oh, come on.
10:00An old screenwriter?
10:02You are Sophie Miller.
10:04You can do so much better.
10:06I know that look, Brooke.
10:07You're up to something.
10:08What makes you think that?
10:10You love playing matchmaker.
10:11Admit it.
10:12You're trying to set me up.
10:14Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
10:18You can be one of them.
10:20Well, what about you?
10:21When are you going to find your someone?
10:22Oh, I'm happy being single.
10:26Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love lives.
10:31You've never thought about it?
10:35Of course I have.
10:39But then I remember all the drama that comes with it and...
10:43I like the way my life is.
10:45Drama free.
10:47I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
10:50No.
10:52Alright, drama queen.
10:54We have a party to get ready for.
10:58Soph?
10:59You're leveling up.
11:08So, whose party is this anyway?
11:10Dylan's.
11:12Dylan Parker's?
11:13You were serious about setting me up.
11:15When do I say anything just for fun?
11:17I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
11:19You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
11:21Trust me.
11:22You'll thank me later.
11:25Hi, Dylan.
11:27Meet Sophie.
11:28Yeah.
11:29No, I know Sophie.
11:30We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
11:32You remember that?
11:34How could I forget?
11:36And damn, Brooke.
11:38You gotta warn me when you dress like this.
11:41Um...
11:42Sophie's the real star here.
11:43You guys should get to know each other.
11:44Hi, Sophie.
11:46Let's, uh, grab a drink.
11:49Find a quiet place to chat.
11:50That'd be great.
11:51That'd be great.
11:59What the?
12:01You're walking.
12:02Who the hell are you?
12:04Who's a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
12:08You better pay for this.
12:10Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single post.
12:13I'm sorry.
12:14I'll cover the clinic.
12:19Oops!
12:21Accident.
12:22I'm sorry.
12:23Your ugly thrifty store dress looks even worse.
12:29I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
12:33Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
12:34I just watched his movie yesterday.
12:37Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
12:39And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
12:43She's an A-list publicist.
12:45Ruining reputations is her job.
12:47So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
12:53Take this.
12:56Um...
12:57I didn't expect to see you here.
12:59I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
13:01You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
