00:00It's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client, for once he's sober and on time, a publicist's dream.
00:13For a star, timing is everything.
00:17Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:24Stand tall, sooner.
00:30Am I in your handiwork?
00:33Late as usual.
00:35Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:38Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent. The guy I've known longer than anyone. Dependable, intelligent, and unknowingly charming.
00:47Nice dress.
00:48Nice bow tie. Just needs a little adjustment here.
00:54How's our golden boy? Is he behaving himself, or are we in for his usual antics?
00:58Eh, he's playing nice. Give it an hour.
01:04What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:09Or less.
01:13What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:16What? Do you see that?
01:18Oh, what the hell?
01:21Niles?
01:22What happened?
01:23This loser shoved this camera in my face. It's on my bad side. I didn't even touch him. He's being dramatic.
01:28You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras. We need to fix this.
01:32Psst. Don't say anything else.
01:33Psst. Don't say anything else.
01:34Let's not make this bigger deal than it needs to be. We can solve this quietly. How about, um, $1,000 in it, you can roll.
01:45$5,000. You know, I'll play along with it.
01:49Fine.
01:49Yeah.
01:51You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
01:54It'll be you.
01:56Oh, man! I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:04Wow.
02:06Wow.
02:07So sweet.
02:08Yeah, straight work now.
02:09So sweet.
02:12Oh.
02:15That was impressive.
02:17In Hollywood, connections are currency.
02:19Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out.
02:22But I keep them shining.
02:27What are you doing here?
02:45Good morning, Miss Harrington.
02:59Your schedule's been moved around slightly. There's a last minute addition of a potential new client meeting. Liam Sterling.
03:05I am Sterling.
03:07That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:09He's looking to revamp his image.
03:11Interesting.
03:13When does he arrive?
03:15Mr. Sterling.
03:16Welcome to Harrington PR. I am fucking-
03:17I know who you are.
03:18Call me Liam.
03:19also for today.
03:20Same thing.
03:21Please tell me.
03:22Mr. Sterling.
03:25Welcome to Harrington PR. I am fucking-
03:27Mr. Sterling, welcome to Harrington PR. I am the king of-
03:41I know who you are. Call me Liam.
03:47...that I'm good at what I do, but flattering won't get you any discounts.
03:52No discounts necessary. I'm here because I need a real change.
03:55Go on.
03:57I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless when he's acting.
03:59I mean, the hard rob thing, it's been fun, but it's not who I am.
04:04I want substance, roles that really challenge me.
04:07If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy.
04:11And it won't happen overnight. Are you ready for that?
04:16Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:19All right. We'll have to change your public persona.
04:24No more sexy magazine covers, and no more feeding into that heartthrobage.
04:29We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor,
04:32and you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
04:35Taking roles with depth, range.
04:39That's exactly what I want.
04:40I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com,
04:45where I spend more time in the gym than with the script.
04:48Well, consider this your permission slip.
04:53But this is a partnership.
04:54You'll have to trust me.
04:57100%.
04:59I trust you, bud.
05:03You're the person I've been looking for.
05:07What might it happen?
05:10I'm all in.
05:14Brooke?
05:15God, no. Um, this is my close friend, Avin.
05:21No.
05:23Well, nice to meet you. I'm Liam Sterling.
05:24I know who you are. I work closely with your agent.
05:28Brought you a coffee. I'll just sleep with Margaret.
05:30Thanks.
05:36He's a nice guy.
05:37I'm sure he's not your boyfriend?
05:40I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
05:42Liam. Remember?
05:44Liam.
05:45I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
05:48I'm, uh, I'm sure it will.
05:51You know, I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:11Hello?
06:15Who's there?
06:16I'm armed.
06:20With wine and flowers?
06:24I'm gonna have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
06:27I mean, I guess this works.
06:28Thanks.
06:36So, what's the occasion?
06:42Some say I'm cutthroat.
06:43Do they?
06:44Oh, I don't know. You don't look so cutthroat to me.
06:48Appearances may be deceiving.
06:50And yet, here I am with you.
06:53Well, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble.
06:59Maybe.
07:00Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:04And what would that be?
07:06When the real chemistry is right here.
07:08Between us.
07:10I don't know what you're talking about.
07:14Sure you don't.
07:15This wine is great.
07:19I have great taste.
07:22So, are we gonna do something about this?
07:23Or are you just gonna sit here enjoying the wine?
07:29Okay.
07:31I'll let you get some rest.
07:33No.
07:36Stay a little longer.
07:39I'll stay as long as you want.
07:45I'll let you get some rest.
07:59Malay.
08:09Shit.
08:12Shit.
08:15A good morning kiss?
08:17I don't think so.
08:19Come on.
08:23Last night was a mistake.
08:25Fun, but still a mistake.
08:29Yeah, I don't think I agree.
08:31You're my client.
08:33I'm supposed to be helping your career,
08:35not helping you.
08:37You know.
08:39You were great last night.
08:43Can you please just get dressed?
08:45If anyone caught us,
08:47this could ruin my career,
08:49not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
08:51Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
08:55Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
08:59Everyone else would.
09:01I mean, what serious actor
09:03sleeps with their publicist?
09:05The sooner we move past this,
09:07the sooner that I can get
09:09you and Lena
09:11and your career moving forward.
09:13Sound good?
09:17No.
09:19But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
09:23Is that what you want, Brooke?
09:27Yes.
09:29That's what's best.
09:31Whatever you say.
09:33I'm sorry.
09:35At least we got it out of our systems.
09:37Amazing.
09:39The movie sucked aside from my scene.
09:41I met this guy at the after party.
09:43He's a bit older.
09:45A screenwriter.
09:47Ugh, come on.
09:49Ugh.
09:51An old screenwriter?
09:53You are Sophie Miller.
09:55You are Sophie Miller.
09:57You can do so much better.
09:59I know that look, Brooke.
10:01You're up to something.
10:03What makes you think that?
10:05You love playing matchmaker.
10:07Admit it.
10:08You're trying to set me up.
10:09Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
10:13You can be one of them.
10:15Well, what about you?
10:16When are you going to find your someone?
10:18Oh, I'm happy being single.
10:21Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love lives.
10:25You've never thought about it?
10:31Of course I have.
10:33But then I remember all the drama that comes with it, and...
10:37I like the way my life is.
10:40Drama free.
10:41I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
10:47Alright, drama queen.
10:48We have a party to get ready for.
10:53Soph?
10:54You're leveling up.
11:03So...
11:04Whose party is this anyway?
11:05Dylan's.
11:06Dylan Parker's?
11:07You were serious about setting me up.
11:09When do I say anything just for fun?
11:12I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
11:14You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
11:16Trust me.
11:17You'll thank me later.
11:20Hi, Dylan.
11:22Meet Sophie.
11:23Yeah.
11:24No, I know Sophie.
11:25We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
11:27You remember that?
11:28How could I forget?
11:30And damn, Brooke.
11:32You gotta warn me when you dress like this.
11:35Um, Sophie's the real star here.
11:38You guys should get to know each other.
11:40Alright, Sophie.
11:41Let's, uh, grab a drink.
11:44Find a quiet place to chat.
11:46That'd be great.
11:52Ah!
11:53What the?
11:56You're walking.
11:57Who the hell are you?
11:59Who's a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
12:03You better pay for this.
12:05Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single post.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:09I'll cover the clinic.
12:15Oops!
12:17Accident.
12:18I'm sorry.
12:19Your ugly thrift store dress looks even worse.
12:25Oh, I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
12:28Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
12:30I just watched his movie yesterday.
12:32Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
12:35And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
12:38She's an A-list publicist.
12:40Ruining reputations is her job.
12:42So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
12:45Take this.
12:50Um, I didn't expect to see you here.
12:54I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
12:56You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
13:00Hmm.
13:01Depends.
13:02What you had in mind.
13:04A girl who's smart.
13:05Strong.
13:06Independent.
13:08Maybe she runs her own business.
13:10Knows her way around Hollywood.
13:12Sounds like she's hard to find.
13:14Almost impossible.
13:16Almost impossible.
