00:00:00I think we're in trouble.
00:00:07I think it's time to prove something wrong.
00:00:11I really need a job.
00:00:13My question is how?
00:00:14Well, everybody lies. People will believe anything.
00:00:17I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:00:20Fine, it was an amazing plan.
00:00:24It has to be this girl.
00:00:27I need a plan B.
00:00:30Now.
00:00:31Look, you've got to be kidding me.
00:00:33You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:00:35I'm using my money to get to you.
00:00:37Just get off, okay? You need to get out.
00:00:43I have a task.
00:00:45No, no, can't. Can't do that. Too embarrassing.
00:00:48Explain yourself!
00:00:50You do your job. I'll do mine.
00:00:59Hey.
00:01:01Good work.
00:01:08Welcome back. Eddie has showbiz now.
00:01:10Good morning and welcome to Daily News.
00:01:13I'm your host, Amanda.
00:01:15Our story today is about Ben Cooper,
00:01:17a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee
00:01:19who made a ripple in the acting industry
00:01:21after his performance in his recent movie Maximizer.
00:01:25His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million
00:01:28to over 100 million just over the span of two days,
00:01:32which is quite an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:01:35Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:01:47I don't know.
00:01:49I'm not sure if I can do this.
00:01:52What did I even do?
00:01:54Well, you're not going to be getting any supporting roles anymore.
00:01:58Why?
00:02:00Because you are going to be the lead.
00:02:05You will be the biggest star ever.
00:02:10Fasten your seatbelt, Ben.
00:02:12It's time to fly.
00:02:30Everything just feels so unreal.
00:02:32That's what happens when you become a star.
00:02:39What's with the phone?
00:02:41No.
00:02:45I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time.
00:02:51It's best not to respond at all.
00:02:52Now I know what my old managers were doing before all this.
00:02:57The tricks of the trade.
00:02:58But don't you worry.
00:03:00Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:03:04You are a superstar.
00:03:10Not a moment of peace.
00:03:11Hello?
00:03:12Send me that right now.
00:03:25What is it, Alan?
00:03:27You're scaring me.
00:03:28You're scaring me.
00:03:36I think we're in trouble.
00:03:37I think we're in trouble.
00:03:41Pick up.
00:03:42Hi.
00:03:43Hi.
00:03:44Sorry.
00:03:45I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:03:49Yes.
00:03:50My name is Blake.
00:03:51Number 56.
00:03:52There are no sauce left.
00:03:57There are no sauce left.
00:03:59Um.
00:04:00I'm sorry but you told me to wait.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07No.
00:04:08This isn't fair.
00:04:09You need to reconsider me.
00:04:10Hello?
00:04:15You've got to be kidding me.
00:04:18I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:04:23Please.
00:04:29Tired of telling you I failed, Mum.
00:04:32Well, I mean, I guess she's right I didn't give up too soon.
00:04:40I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:04:45You've got this, Blake.
00:04:46Hi.
00:04:50Um.
00:04:51I want an appointment with manager Alan.
00:04:55Yeah, I knew you would refuse.
00:04:57Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:05:04Screw you.
00:05:06I don't need your approval anyway.
00:05:16I don't need to go.
00:05:17He's done.
00:05:18I don't need to be back.
00:05:35I don't need to go.
00:05:36People just need gossip.
00:05:44Hello?
00:05:48This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:05:53I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with these rumours.
00:05:58He's not in a relationship.
00:06:01Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:06:03No, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:06:07People are saying that he's...
00:06:10That he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:06:17I got an important call. I'll call you back.
00:06:20Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:06:27What?
00:06:30What story? Send her in.
00:06:34What story? Who are you?
00:06:39Well, there's not really a story as such.
00:06:47I...
00:06:49It's as important as that.
00:06:50Okay, since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often, I just wanted to come here in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:07:07Okay.
00:07:09You know you're scamming people, right?
00:07:12That's what people say when they don't get a job here.
00:07:15Okay, not getting a job is different. You guys are... you guys ditched me for my interview.
00:07:20Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:07:24Elsewhere.
00:07:29Are you going to go or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:07:35Okay. Look, um...
00:07:38I'm sorry, I just...
00:07:40I really need a job right now.
00:07:43This isn't a request center.
00:07:45Please.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:49Well, you know what?
00:07:50I hope karma bites you with the...
00:07:55Sorry.
00:07:56Are you blind?
00:07:59Get your eyes fixed.
00:08:03Who is that?
00:08:04Just a jobless nobody.
00:08:08Right.
00:08:14We need to focus on the people who do recognize you.
00:08:17Ben.
00:08:19I can't prove you're not gay.
00:08:23I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:08:28It's how they make them funny.
00:08:30Is it harmful for my image?
00:08:32Is it...
00:08:34Look.
00:08:36You can date who you want to, but there's rumors.
00:08:40Like, it ruins your identity.
00:08:43Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:08:45Obviously not.
00:08:48And I've been contacted by Thomas' manager.
00:08:51He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:08:52Just release a statement.
00:08:54I've been telling the reporters these rumors aren't true,
00:08:57but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:09:00What difference would a statement make?
00:09:04What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:09:08Like what?
00:09:10Like...
00:09:12What if I were to date a girl?
00:09:14Who date a girl?
00:09:17That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:09:19Well, it would kill the boss.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:22It'd put us on the right path to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:09:27My identity?
00:09:29Um...
00:09:31My question is how.
00:09:35I have a brilliant idea.
00:09:36It's so cute.
00:09:37You know what?
00:09:38I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:09:42Everything sucks
00:09:56You know what? I've decided I'm not leaving my room
00:10:02Nope, I'm staying here for eternity
00:10:06It's settled
00:10:12I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but no one will stick out over
00:10:29I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back
00:10:37I think...
00:11:06Okay, I have to go back
00:11:13This is so good
00:11:20Nope
00:11:27Nope
00:11:40Nope
00:11:42Absolutely not
00:11:45Not answering any of my skankles
00:11:49What is it, Mum?
00:12:02Um... Hey...
00:12:07Is this Blake?
00:12:09Yeah...
00:12:11Well, I'm Alan
00:12:14I hope you remember me
00:12:16You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:12:19Um...
00:12:20Yeah...
00:12:21Yeah...
00:12:22Hi!
00:12:23Hello
00:12:24Hi
00:12:26Um...
00:12:27Can we meet?
00:12:28Um...
00:12:29I have a job for you
00:12:31I'm still not happy with this idea of yours
00:12:46Sorry, what did you say?
00:12:47Your idea?
00:12:48It's absurd
00:12:49I'm just saving my reputation
00:12:50Covering a lie with another lie
00:12:51Well, everybody lies
00:12:52People will believe anything
00:12:53Well, try this so you can't blame me for not saving your life
00:12:57Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements
00:12:59She won't go crazy
00:13:12I got a different vibe from her
00:13:14You sure?
00:13:15I'm sure
00:13:18Send her in
00:13:22I'm still not sure about this girl
00:13:25Come in
00:13:28Please, take a seat
00:13:34Thanks for coming in so soon
00:13:37Well, I'm actually surprised
00:13:39I didn't know my words had such an impact on you
00:13:42Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before
00:13:46So...
00:13:48I got a job for you
00:13:50Oh, I hope you've...
00:13:52You know...
00:13:53Oh, sorry
00:13:54It's not so much of a job
00:13:57More of a favour
00:14:05This is all...
00:14:10So what do you think, Blake?
00:14:13So you want me to fake date Ben, for time being?
00:14:16Yeah
00:14:17It's as simple as that
00:14:19Okay, but...
00:14:22Who's Ben?
00:14:27How do you not know Ben?
00:14:28Like...
00:14:30You haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:14:36I'm not really a social person, so...
00:14:39You know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about
00:14:41Yeah, but still...
00:14:43Like...
00:14:44Who doesn't know Ben?
00:14:46Me, apparently
00:14:51I am Ben
00:14:53Will you do me this favour?
00:15:02No
00:15:11That was...
00:15:18That was...
00:15:20That was...
00:15:21That was...
00:15:22Ben...
00:15:23The...
00:15:24The Ben Cooper
00:15:29I can't believe that just happened!
00:15:31Oh my god!
00:15:32Oh my god!
00:15:33Oh my god!
00:15:34Oh my god!
00:15:35I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:15:38What the...
00:15:42I...
00:15:45I...
00:15:47I can't do it
00:15:51I...
00:15:52I...
00:15:54I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me
00:15:57I...
00:16:03I guess I've gotta...
00:16:05Keep packing them
00:16:06Um...
00:16:14Mmm!
00:16:15That's so bad!
00:16:16Hehehe
00:16:18Hehehe
00:16:19Hehehe
00:16:33Yeah...
00:16:33Mom...
00:16:34Guess what?
00:16:36I have
00:16:45Hehehe
00:16:47Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:16:58Hey.
00:17:02You need to relax.
00:17:07I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:17:09I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:17:12And on top of that you're asking me to relax?
00:17:15Are you crazy or what?
00:17:17I told you an excellent plan.
00:17:20Now it's your part to play, just make it work.
00:17:23Fine, it was an amazing plan.
00:17:26Fine.
00:17:28It was a really good plan.
00:17:30But why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:17:33Why can't I find you another one?
00:17:35A better one, one that's a better actor?
00:17:37No, it has to be this girl.
00:17:39I told you if I'm doing this, she has to be my favorite girlfriend.
00:17:43Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:17:46I agree.
00:17:47So convince her.
00:17:49Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:17:53And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:17:57Well, for starters, she's different.
00:18:01Right?
00:18:02When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:18:05If we want to do this, right, it plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:18:12It makes it more believable.
00:18:26Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:18:27Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:18:30Alright, I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:18:33If Ben's stopping this girl is the next level, please pick up Blake.
00:18:50I need a plan B.
00:18:57Who is it?
00:19:02It's me, Blake.
00:19:07Please come in.
00:19:08Take a seat.
00:19:09Hope we're alone in here.
00:19:10Oh, of course.
00:19:11I knew you'd be back.
00:19:12I need a job, Alan.
00:19:13Oh, of course.
00:19:14Oh, of course.
00:19:15It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:19:16No, no.
00:19:17A proper job with a proper designation.
00:19:20Look.
00:19:21Look, I'll do anything, okay?
00:19:24But I can't do this.
00:19:26I can't do this.
00:19:28What?
00:19:29What?
00:19:30What?
00:19:31What?
00:19:32What?
00:19:33What?
00:19:34What?
00:19:35What?
00:19:36What?
00:19:37What?
00:19:38What?
00:19:39What?
00:19:40What?
00:19:41What?
00:19:42What?
00:19:43What will I tell my parents?
00:19:44That I'm, what, someone's fake girlfriend?
00:19:46That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:19:49I...
00:19:50Blake, it's what I said.
00:19:52It's not a job.
00:19:53It's more of a favor.
00:19:57Okay, fine.
00:19:58Then I can't do it, then.
00:20:00Blake, please help us with this.
00:20:06I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:20:08But...
00:20:11I can't.
00:20:12I'm really sorry.
00:20:13God, Blake, please!
00:20:14Come on!
00:20:22Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:20:23You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her and you just let her go?
00:20:27Like, she didn't give me the chance.
00:20:28She just walked right out.
00:20:31And what is it with you, Ben?
00:20:32Like, I've never seen you this way before unless you really respect someone.
00:20:41Oh my god.
00:20:43Oh my god.
00:20:45Ben's fallen in love.
00:20:47No, no, I haven't.
00:20:48It's nothing like that.
00:20:50It's not.
00:20:51Then what?
00:20:52What is it with her?
00:20:53I think that we need to disprove the rumors as soon as possible.
00:20:56So what?
00:20:57I should just call her right away?
00:20:58Yeah, call her.
00:21:00Ben.
00:21:01Look, Alan, I gave you a job.
00:21:03You failed.
00:21:04Okay?
00:21:05Just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:21:06Look, you've got to be kidding me!
00:21:08I've got a family dinner now.
00:21:10Text me her number.
00:21:11Okay?
00:21:13Now.
00:21:23It really gets dirty.
00:21:25Everything's done.
00:21:41I'm so excited.
00:21:43Thel eight years old.
00:21:45This one is a Werum app.
00:21:49Now I've got to, I'm sure he is familiar.
00:21:51Hello?
00:21:54Look, I'm busy, so bother someone else, yeah?
00:22:01It's Ben.
00:22:05Ben Cooper?
00:22:06Look, if you're busy, then that's okay, I can call tomorrow.
00:22:12No!
00:22:13Um, I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:22:17Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:22:20That's okay, we haven't talked before, so now would you recognise my voice?
00:22:24Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:22:28You still don't know who I am?
00:22:32Well I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:22:34Can we meet tomorrow?
00:22:36Um, I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:22:44I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:22:46If you can't come out to my place, then maybe I can meet you at yours?
00:22:49Please.
00:22:50No!
00:22:51No, I'll...
00:22:53I'll come.
00:22:56Great.
00:22:57I'll text you the address.
00:23:00See you tomorrow.
00:23:04Bye.
00:23:05I'm going to go.
00:23:06Bye.
00:23:07Bye.
00:23:08Why don't you have a seat, make yourself comfortable?
00:23:09Thanks.
00:23:10Would you like a coffee?
00:23:11Uh, yeah.
00:23:14It's a strange studio.
00:23:19Here you are.
00:23:20Here you are.
00:23:33You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:23:37Well, it's my home.
00:23:39I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:23:42Your home?
00:23:44This is...
00:23:46This is your home.
00:23:48Is that a problem?
00:23:49No.
00:23:50No, I just, um...
00:23:52I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:23:55It's kind of...
00:23:57Intimate.
00:23:58Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:24:03Um, so...
00:24:04What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:24:07I wanted to ask, why are you running away from me?
00:24:11I've offered you a nice job.
00:24:13Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:24:16Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:24:22You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:24:24I know.
00:24:25Well, that's my final decision.
00:24:27What if...
00:24:33I offered you a different role.
00:24:37As my secretary.
00:24:40That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:24:47Um...
00:24:50Okay, well it's still not a job.
00:24:54I want a long term job.
00:24:56You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:24:59I'll have to leave in the end.
00:25:01How much do you need?
00:25:02Is it about money?
00:25:04No, it's not about money.
00:25:06What if I...
00:25:12Offer to hire you full time.
00:25:15Full time secretary.
00:25:17Permanently.
00:25:19I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:25:24Why me?
00:25:25Because I just like you.
00:25:29I mean for the...
00:25:30For this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:25:33Okay, but there are so many other...
00:25:36People that you could pick from.
00:25:39There's something different about you.
00:25:43Look, I've offered you the role...
00:25:46With a part to play a little.
00:25:48Are you in?
00:25:49I'm in.
00:26:02Thanks.
00:26:04I'll try my best to be it.
00:26:19Bye.
00:26:20Bye.
00:26:49.
00:27:19.
00:27:49.
00:28:19.
00:28:21.
00:28:23.
00:28:25.
00:28:27.
00:28:29.
00:28:31Relax.
00:28:33You look tense.
00:28:35Um, I could have thought my own food and drinks, you didn't have to.
00:28:41Don't be silly, I was buying things for myself, so I'm all not happy to buy you some things for me.
00:28:47Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:28:51Wrong idea about what?
00:28:53Well, it could easily be seen as that I'm just using my money to get to you.
00:28:59I just want you to know, it's not like that.
00:29:01I know.
00:29:07I used to struggle for work, too.
00:29:11Seriously?
00:29:12Yeah, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food.
00:29:16It was tough.
00:29:18And all that happened before I met Al.
00:29:22And once I met him, he is such a generous man and he looked after me like his own brother.
00:29:28And now you've met him, too.
00:29:30So, you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:29:34I...
00:29:36I've put a lot of hard work and I've struggled through a lot in my career to get to where I am.
00:29:43And I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that because they have something out for me.
00:29:49So that's where you come in.
00:29:51I promise that I'll try my best.
00:29:57Even if it asks for sacrifices.
00:29:59No, it shouldn't require you to make any sacrifices.
00:30:02No.
00:30:03Your dedication is enough.
00:30:10Oh my god.
00:30:12I'm...
00:30:13I'm so sorry.
00:30:14I'm meeting someone.
00:30:15I've got to go.
00:30:16Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:30:18No, it's okay.
00:30:19It's not that far.
00:30:20I can just walk.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:22Um...
00:30:23Bye.
00:30:25See you.
00:30:32Okay, then where's your room?

00:42:25Okay.
00:42:26Like that?
00:42:27Yeah, I just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:42:34Okay.

00:42:38It's...
00:42:39Can't all...
00:42:40Just bring it back a little.
00:42:41Just...
00:42:42Just...
00:42:43Just...
00:42:44Just...
00:42:45Just...
00:42:46Hey, Alan, I know I'm late.
00:43:01Sorry.
00:43:02Um, what's up?
00:43:03What?
00:43:04Alright.
00:43:05Okay.
00:43:06What's up?
00:43:07Alan says there's an article about us.
00:43:09Come on, let's go.
00:43:10Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:43:11Yeah, me too.
00:43:12Exactly.
00:43:13We haven't even done anything yet.
00:43:14I'd still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:43:20But I was just helping her.
00:43:23Yeah, he was just helping me out.
00:43:40I'd still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:43:47But I was just helping her.
00:43:49Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:43:51What's your problem? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:43:54Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:43:59Sometimes things don't go the way that you planned, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here.
00:44:03You don't think it's too sudden?
00:44:06Too sudden? Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:44:10Oh, I'm sorry, Blake. I didn't mean that.
00:44:16No. No, it's the truth, right?
00:44:19But that's just a side task. You are my secretary.
00:44:24And it's what you approached me for.
00:44:27It's fine. Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:44:31See? There's no problem here.
00:44:34Okay. Well, let's move it forward.
00:44:37Alright. So, Ben, do you have a plan?
00:44:40Yes.
00:44:42Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:44:43Um, so that exclusive event we're going to tomorrow, um, are you taking me as a date?
00:45:03Yeah, that's what I said.
00:45:04No. No, no, can't. Can't do that. Too embarrassing.
00:45:09That's what I told Alan.
00:45:13It's not that. I just... I'm ready to do whatever. I just...
00:45:18I feel like it might be too much.
00:45:20Eventually, we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:45:26So why drag that?
00:45:29I can see you're worried.
00:45:31It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:45:36I was scared. I didn't know how everyone was going to react.
00:45:41Whether they like what I'd done. Whether they hate it.
00:45:44And I was alone.
00:45:48Your fear is justified, Blake.
00:45:50But you're not alone.
00:45:53We'll do this together.
00:45:54All right. I'll go with you.
00:46:06I think what we installed...
00:46:10is an opportunity here.
00:46:14For what?
00:46:16May I?
00:46:17Okay.
00:46:25Act natural.
00:46:26Let's sleep.
00:46:36Are you going home now?
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:39Yeah, no.
00:46:40I will miss my bus, but I should rush.
00:46:43I have something that I need to show you.
00:46:46Would you mind coming with me?
00:46:48Um...
00:46:50Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:46:51It'll just be a minute and I think I have a solution for that.
00:46:55Okay?
00:46:57This is for you.
00:47:00Oh, a key to your car now, too?
00:47:02A key to your car.
00:47:06What are you talking about?
00:47:08I bought you a car.
00:47:11Um...
00:47:12Are you serious?
00:47:15It's just for your work.
00:47:17So you can drive me places and get home all right.
00:47:22I...
00:47:23I don't mind taking the bus, Ben.
00:47:25It's fine.
00:47:26I know you're fine.
00:47:27But, I mean, you drive me home and then you struggle to get home yourself.
00:47:31And...
00:47:31No, I think it'll...
00:47:34It'll help you.
00:47:35I...
00:47:35I...
00:47:36Please, take it.
00:47:39Okay?
00:47:39It'll make me happy.
00:47:40And you need to practice your driving skills.
00:47:42So...
00:47:43Um...
00:47:44Um...
00:47:47Thank you, Ben.
00:48:00I guess dreams really do come true.
00:48:08There is no way I can spend Cooper today.
00:48:24No, no, just my job.
00:48:36It's just my job.
00:48:39Yes, yes, yes.
00:48:46Oh, yes.
00:48:46Oh, yes.
00:48:47Come on.
00:48:54Hello?
00:48:58Listen.
00:48:59We cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the rooms.
00:49:05Yes.
00:49:06Just try and avoid the rooms.
00:49:08Thank you very much.
00:49:10Okay.
00:49:11Bye.
00:49:12Ben, what the hell?
00:49:17What do you mean?
00:49:18You told me to go ahead and I did it.
00:49:21This is just the start.
00:49:23You freaking kissed Blake.
00:49:26I thought you were going to start small by, like, giving her a handshake or just a hug.
00:49:33Is it working?
00:49:38That's the goal.
00:49:39What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:49:45Explain yourself!
00:49:47Explain what and why?
00:49:49Don't play dumb with me.
00:49:50You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:49:54I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:49:57Alright?
00:49:58I thought we were minding our own business.
00:50:01You're so stuck in the past.
00:50:03Can you get over that already?
00:50:05You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:50:07Just when are you going to drop that?
00:50:13I thought we were exclusive.
00:50:15What happened to us?
00:50:18Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:50:21We're broken up.
00:50:24You never actually broke up with me.
00:50:26Oh, jeez.
00:50:27You left me.
00:50:30You told me to mind my own business.
00:50:32You treated me like garbage.
00:50:33And you expect me to what?
00:50:35You come in here and I just forgive you.
00:50:36Okay, Ben.
00:50:37Ben, calm down.
00:50:38No.
00:50:38No.
00:50:40You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:50:46Ben.
00:50:46I want you to just please ask you to leave.
00:50:48Okay.
00:50:48Ria.
00:50:50Please.
00:50:50So you're Blake.
00:51:01Hey, Blake.
00:51:04Let me drive you back to my place.
00:51:06Okay?
00:51:06Okay.
00:51:07I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:51:19You know, driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:51:23Why is that?
00:51:25Because you don't pay attention to the road and you don't think when you're angry.
00:51:32Are you serious?
00:51:34Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:51:35I like to drive to distract myself.
00:51:41I can't help.
00:51:44Oh.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:46What do you do when you're angry?
00:51:50I guess I just like to go somewhere alone and then let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:52:05I usually drive alone.
00:52:09Well, you don't have to anymore.
00:52:11You've got me now.
00:52:13Always.
00:52:19Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:52:21I am very busy because, you know, I'm really mad at folding clothes.
00:52:28I can tell.
00:52:31I can teach you.
00:52:34I'd like that.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:51I'll be sorry.
00:52:52I'll be.
00:52:53I'll be.
00:52:58I'll be.
00:52:59I'll be.
00:53:01I'll be.
00:53:02I'll be.
00:53:02czikow.
00:53:03.
00:53:33.
00:54:03.
00:54:33.
00:54:35.
00:54:37.
00:54:39.
00:54:41.
00:54:43.
00:54:45.
00:54:47.
00:54:49.
00:54:51.
00:54:53.
00:54:55.
00:54:57.
00:54:59.
00:55:01.
00:55:03Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:55:05Yeah, should we go?
00:55:07Let's go.
00:55:13You wait here, I'll go get the package.
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:21Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:55:27You know he's just using you.
00:55:29Your voice does that.
00:55:31It's me.
00:55:33What are you doing? Let go of me.
00:55:35Ben is mine.
00:55:37I won't let you steal in from me.
00:55:39Really?
00:55:41Stop being delusional.
00:55:43He wants nothing to do with you.
00:55:53Don't you ever mess with me.
00:55:55Don't you have any details with me.
00:55:57I won't let you go.
00:55:59Let go!
00:56:25.
00:56:55Do you want your jacket back?
00:57:18No. No, you keep it.
00:57:19You can take the car, I can just take the bus tomorrow.
00:57:25No, no, I'll take the bus tomorrow. You keep the car. Please, Blake.
00:57:34Hey, can we, can we talk? Is your place alright?
00:57:39No, no, it's fine. I was, it's silly.
00:57:42No, it's, um, come on in.
00:57:47Okay.
00:57:48Um, sorry, it's very small.
00:58:02No, it's, it's cozy.
00:58:05Listen, about today, I, I don't have the words. I feel ashamed.
00:58:12It's fine, Ben.
00:58:14No, it's not.
00:58:16Every job has its challenges and this is just...
00:58:20Please, please, stop.
00:58:23Okay, this is something that can never be justified.
00:58:28I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:58:34Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me. I'm just your secretary.
00:58:44You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary.
00:58:50You're more than that to me.
00:58:55What do you mean?
00:59:00I mean...
00:59:05I think...
00:59:07I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:59:13Ever since, ever since when?
00:59:16To be honest, I don't know.
00:59:19I mean, when I, when I first met you, I, I wanted to get to know you better.
00:59:24And I spoke to Alan and we had a role for you to play.
00:59:29But I want you to know that I've loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:59:38But after today, if you want to end the contract here, that's okay.
00:59:44I, I understand.
00:59:46And please don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:59:50I just wanted to be true to myself.
01:00:02Can I kiss you?
01:00:04Because I, I really want to.
01:00:06Because I, I really want to.
01:00:08Yes.
01:00:09Send her in.
01:00:10Yes.
01:00:11Send her in.
01:00:12What happened last night?
01:00:13I'm hearing all kinds of things.
01:00:27Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene.
01:00:28When will she leave us alone?
01:00:29What did she do exactly?
01:00:30Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
01:00:34And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
01:00:35And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
01:00:38And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
01:00:43And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
01:00:47She's really crossed the line this time.
01:00:50Write an article about this.
01:00:51We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
01:00:53you asked and then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up and then she started this
01:01:01argument and she slapped her. She's really crossed the line this time. Write an article about this.
01:01:09We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone. Look I'm really sorry but I'm only paid
01:01:16to write for Ben.
01:01:30Consider it done.
01:01:37Who is this?
01:01:38She's a reporter.
01:01:39And what are you doing?
01:01:44I hired her.
01:01:51Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
01:01:53It wasn't important.
01:01:55The heck Alan you hired the reporter. You know what she's done.
01:02:00I know, I know, I know. But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
01:02:04Of course! Right? She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
01:02:10She wrote those articles.
01:02:12I know, I know. Please. Take a seat. Look.
01:02:17She wrote those articles on you in the first place. Therefore she has the audience we need.
01:02:21Don't you see?
01:02:24She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died.
01:02:28This is because people trust her.
01:02:30One good deed does not make her a good person, okay? I don't trust her.
01:02:34I know, I know. I don't trust her either.
01:02:39But I've got a plan, okay? She is useful.
01:02:45Still.
01:02:46Ben, in my years of managing I've learnt one thing.
01:02:52Sometimes you need to take the risk.
01:02:56Whatever.
01:02:57Okay, I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
01:03:00No.
01:03:01Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
01:03:03No, I know. So say what happened to her last night.
01:03:07Wait.
01:03:09Wait, where is she? Why isn't she with you?
01:03:11How?
01:03:13Oh, don't tell me she's left.
01:03:15We can't do this without her. How are we going to do an excellent-
01:03:18She's just taking a break today.
01:03:20Everything's fine.
01:03:22But...
01:03:24I do need to tell you something.
01:03:26It smells so good.
01:03:45What time did you wake up?
01:03:46I woke up just after you left.
01:03:51I can't stay away from me for long.
01:03:53No.
01:04:10Food's ready.
01:04:18How we eat later.
01:04:23I'll be back.
01:04:27Bye.
01:04:36Why'd you call?
01:04:39You don't have my thumb with me.
01:04:41Do you fear me?
01:04:44Fear you.
01:04:46I mean, why else?
01:04:47Why would you call this soon?
01:04:50Ben's gay story was your idea.
01:04:51Can you keep it down someone could hear us. It's not gonna change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me
01:04:59How many times do I have to tell you this is not about defaming Ben. I just wanted him to get back with me
01:05:07But I do need your help I
01:05:11Have some Intel on Blake. I think you can want to hear
01:05:21Their relationship the whole thing is fake. They've got contract. It's all from what Lizzie expose her
01:05:33Rhea this isn't enough. I know that
01:05:41That should be now
01:05:46Now do it drag Blake through the press
01:05:51And if you do it and it works
01:05:57I'll agree to go on a date with you

01:10:07Look

01:10:15Well

01:10:20To lots
01:10:21Of different journalists

01:11:09Yeah, I'm sorry
01:11:10Ben's sick right now
01:11:11That's why he wasn't on set today
01:11:12Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot
01:11:13That would be amazing
01:11:15Yeah
01:11:16Yeah, thank you very much
01:11:17Alright
01:11:18Okay, bye
01:11:19Please pick up Ben
01:11:20Please pick up Ben
01:11:21Please pick up Ben
01:11:22Please pick up Ben
01:11:24This is the legal notice
01:11:26I don't know
01:11:27No
01:11:28No
01:11:29No
01:11:30No
01:11:31No
01:11:32No
01:11:33No
01:11:34No
01:11:35No
01:11:36No
01:11:37No
01:11:38No
01:11:39No
01:11:40No
01:11:41No
01:11:42No
01:11:43No
01:11:44No
01:11:45No
01:11:46No
01:11:47No
01:11:48No
01:11:49Okay
01:11:52This is the legal notice
01:11:53I'm writing you
01:11:57Find and double the amount
01:12:00Paid
01:12:03It's good of you to come and collect it yourself
01:12:08It's not negotiable
01:12:14I will take this
01:12:16But I need to tell you something first
01:12:19Fine. But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:12:24Let's take down Ria together.
01:12:30Are you loyal to nobody? You really are a piece of work.
01:12:33Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:12:39Alright. But if you double cross me again, I'll make your life a living hell.
01:12:46Ria paid me from the very start to write about Ben.
01:12:51She started all this.
01:13:03I can never make anyone happy.
01:13:09Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:13:15What?
01:13:28Read the headline I sent you.
01:13:31I understand your decision to leave. But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:13:44But in the end it's your life. I won't force you to do anything.
01:14:00Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:14:09She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben. The chats have been made public.
01:14:18Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:14:20And we'll write a statement for you. And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:14:30It's fine Alan. You don't have to waste all that money on me. I'm just a regular person.
01:14:36Regular person.
01:14:37So what? Regular people don't deserve respect?
01:14:42You know I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked. It's so hard to achieve.
01:14:53That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:14:59And I would really appreciate it if you could not tell Ben about this, please.
01:15:12Blake, just take the check please.
01:15:19I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:15:24See ya.
01:15:29Thank you for bearing with me.
01:15:48Why are you here then?
01:15:50So, you've decided to leave.
01:15:54That's alright.
01:15:56Just let me drop you off.
01:15:58And I'm-
01:15:59Please.
01:16:00One last time?
01:16:05It's fine.
01:16:06Okay.
01:16:13You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:16:17I don't deserve to have you.
01:16:20All I've done is just cause you trouble and...
01:16:23You've had enough trouble because of me.
01:16:26So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:16:34It's not about you, Ben.
01:16:37You have dedicated your entire life to your career and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:16:42All that matters to me is you.
01:16:44All that matters to me is you.
01:16:46And without you, nothing else matters.
01:16:51I know.
01:16:53I'm glad you have.
01:16:54I'm glad you have.
01:16:59I'm gonna, um...
01:17:01I'm gonna...
01:17:03walk from here.
01:17:04You shouldn't come.
01:17:05Hey.
01:17:19Do you want to come meet my family?
01:17:21Will?
01:17:23Will.
01:17:27Will?
01:17:28Will.
01:17:33Will.
01:17:43Will.
