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.
00:05:17To be continued.
00:05:37People just need gossip.
00:05:39need gossip. Hello? This case is way more important than your court proceedings. I'm
00:05:54sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with these rumours. He's not in a
00:05:59relationship. Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year. No, it's not about
00:06:05being in a relationship. People are saying that he's... that he's dating his male
00:06:13co-star, Thomas.
00:06:17I've got an important call. I'll call you back. Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:06:27What?
00:06:30What story? Send her in.
00:06:35Hey, what story? Who are you?
00:06:42Well, uh, there's not really a story as such. I... it's as important as that.
00:06:53Okay, since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often, I just wanted to come here
00:07:02in person and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:07:06Okay. You know you're scamming people, right? That's what people say when they don't get
00:07:13a job here. Okay, not getting a job is different. You guys are... you guys ditched me for my interview.
00:07:19Look, I've got a lot to deal with, so can you please do your rand elsewhere?
00:07:24Are you gonna go or am I gonna have to get someone to take you away?
00:07:31Okay. Okay. Look, um, I'm sorry. I just... I really need a job right now.
00:07:42This isn't a request center. Please.
00:07:47Okay.
00:07:48Well, you know what? I hope karma bites you with it.
00:07:52I'm sorry.
00:07:56Are you blind? Get your eyes fixed.
00:08:02Who is that?
00:08:04Just a jobless nobody.
00:08:08Right.
00:08:14We need to focus on the people who do recognize you. Ben, I can't prove you're not gay.
00:08:22I don't understand why these reporters enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:08:27It's how they make their money.
00:08:30Is it harmful for my image? Is 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.
00:08:47And I've been contacted by Thomas' manager.
00:08:49He 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, but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:08:59What difference would a statement make?
00:09:03What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:09:08Like what?
00:09:09Like, what if I were to date a girl?
00:09:16That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:09:18Well, it would kill the boss.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:21It would put us on the right path to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:09:28Oh.
00:09:29My question is how.
00:09:34I have a brilliant idea.
00:09:36Everything sucks.
00:09:56You know what?
00:09:59I've decided I'm not leaving my room.
00:10:03Nope.
00:10:04Staying here for eternity.
00:10:08It's settled.
00:10:09I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but no one wants to go.
00:10:28I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:10:30I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:10:30I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:10:34I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:11:04I think...
00:11:06I think...
00:11:07I'm going to have to go back.
00:11:17This is going to go.
00:11:34Nope.
00:11:40Nope.
00:11:41Nope.
00:11:43Absolutely not.
00:11:45Not answering.
00:11:47I mean, no sk ankles.
00:11:49Yep.
00:11:49What is it, Mum?
00:12:05Um, hey.
00:12:07Is this Blake?
00:12:09Yeah.
00:12:11Well, I'm Alan.
00:12:13I hope you remember me.
00:12:15You just came to visit me a while ago.
00:12:17Um, yeah.
00:12:21Yeah, hi.
00:12:23Hello.
00:12:23Hi.
00:12:25Um.
00:12:27Can we meet?
00:12:28I have a job for you.
00:12:45I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:12:47Sorry, what did you say?
00:12:52Your idea.
00:12:53It's absurd.
00:12:55I'm just saving my reputation.
00:12:56Covering a lie with another lie.
00:12:59Well, everybody lies.
00:13:00People will believe anything.
00:13:03Well, try this so you can't blame me for not saving your life.
00:13:08Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:13:11She won't go crazy.
00:13:12I got a different vibe from her.
00:13:14You sure?
00:13:15I'm sure.
00:13:21Send her in.
00:13:24I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:13:27Come in.
00:13:28Please, take a seat.
00:13:36Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:13:38Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:13:40Didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:13:42I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:13:46So, I got a job for you.
00:13:51Oh, I hope you've, you know, looked at my...
00:13:53Sorry, it's not so much of a job, more of a favor.
00:13:58This is all, um...
00:14:07So, what do you think, Blake?
00:14:10So, you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:14:16Yeah.
00:14:17It's as simple as that.
00:14:18Okay, but who's Ben?
00:14:26How do you not know Ben?
00:14:28Like, you haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:14:34I'm not really a social person, so, you know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about.
00:14:42Yeah, but still, like, who doesn't know Ben?
00:14:46Me, apparently.
00:14:50I am Ben.
00:14:53Will you do me this favor?
00:14:54No.
00:14:54No.
00:15:17That was...
00:15:19That was Ben.
00:15:22The...
00:15:23The Ben Creeper.
00:15:29I can't believe that just happened!
00:15:32Oh, my God.
00:15:33Oh, my God.
00:15:34Oh, my God.
00:15:35I'm so stupid not to recognize him.
00:15:39What the...
00:15:41I...
00:15:45I can't do it.
00:15:51I...
00:15:51I...
00:15:52I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:16:02I guess I've got to keep packing them.
00:16:06Um...
00:16:07I...
00:16:07I...
00:16:08I...
00:16:09I got to keep packing them.
00:16:11I got to keep passing into my class.
00:16:13Hmm...
00:16:14It's so 분!
00:16:15Yeah, mom, guess what I have.
00:16:45Ew. Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:16:57Hey. You need to relax.
00:17:07I'm so jealous of you right now. I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:17:13And on top of that, you're asking me to relax? Are you crazy or what?
00:17:18I told you an excellent plan. Now it's your part to play. Just make it work.
00:17:23Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:17:26Fine. It was a really good plan.
00:17:30But why are you so stubborn about this girl? Why can't I find you another one?
00:17:34A better one. One that's a better actor.
00:17:37No. It has to be this girl. I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:17:42Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:17:46I agree. So convince her.
00:17:50Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl. And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:17:57Well, for starters, she's different. Right? When 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. It makes it more believable.
00:18:13Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:18:29All right. I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:18:33Yeah. All right. Ben's stopping this girl is the next level.
00:18:48Please pick up Blake.
00:18:56We need a plan B.
00:19:01Who is it?
00:19:03It's me.
00:19:05Blake.
00:19:07Please come in.
00:19:09Take a seat.
00:19:14I hope we're alone in here.
00:19:17Oh, of course.
00:19:22I knew you'd be back.
00:19:25I need a job, Alan.
00:19:27Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:19:30No. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:19:35Look.
00:19:37Look, I'll...
00:19:38I'll do anything.
00:19:39Okay, but I can't do this.
00:19:42What 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.
00:19:50Blake, it's what I said. It's not a job. It's more of a favor.
00:19:54Okay, fine. Then I can't do it, then.
00:20:00Blake, please help us with this.
00:20:06I really wish I could help you, Alan, but...
00:20:11I can't. I'm really sorry.
00:20:14Blake, please! Come 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,
00:20:25and 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
00:20:34unless 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? What is it with her?
00:20:52I just think that we need to disprove the rumours as soon as possible.
00:20:55So what, I 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.

00:33:34Okay.
00:33:35Bye.
00:33:37Alright, Ben.
00:33:39We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:33:43I'll wait.
00:33:45I got an appointment.
00:33:47Appointment?
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:50It's alright.
00:33:51It's my own personal business.
00:33:52I'll take care of it some other time.
00:33:53Well, that's alright.
00:33:54Blake can accompany me.
00:33:56Me?
00:33:58Alright.
00:33:59Alright.
00:34:00You two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:34:05So, are you ready for the task?
00:34:09What task?
00:34:11Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:34:15Oh, no.
00:34:16Yes.
00:34:17Sorry.
00:34:18Forgot.
00:34:19So, what's the plan?
00:34:23It's your plan.
00:34:26You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:34:30Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:34:33I'll publicize it.
00:34:35You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:34:39I kind of thought you'd have like a whole script prepared for me.
00:34:43Too busy for that.
00:34:44Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:34:47Already tired of me, Alan?
00:34:50Oh.
00:34:51And that'll never happen, Ben.
00:34:53Yes.
00:34:54Okay.
00:34:55Alright.
00:34:56Thank you so much.
00:34:57Bye.
00:34:58I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:34:59Oh, well, you know I am your secretary so it's kind of my job.
00:35:14Sure.
00:35:15Hmm.
00:35:17Question, by the way.
00:35:20Um.
00:35:21Why don't you have a driver?
00:35:24I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:35:28Because I like to drive myself.
00:35:31Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:35:34No, you should.
00:35:36Um, I mean you know you can get tired sometimes.
00:35:46Yeah, well I have you now.
00:35:49To drive me.
00:35:50You've got your license, right?
00:35:53I've always loved cars.
00:35:56Um, my dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:36:00Really?
00:36:01Yeah.
00:36:02Wow.
00:36:03Um, yeah, I used to help him repair all cars.
00:36:06And, you know, he loved to have me by his side helping out.
00:36:10Well, why did you stop?
00:36:12You could have opened a shop here.
00:36:16Um, my dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:36:24Oh.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26You know, um, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:36:32So I put in a loan and I got one.
00:36:35Um, but then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:36:42So.
00:36:43And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:36:48I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:36:49That's okay.
00:36:50Mm.
00:36:51Shall we head home?
00:36:52Yeah.
00:36:53Okay.
00:36:54Um.
00:36:55Hey Alan.
00:36:56Thanks for organizing the suit.
00:36:57Thanks for organizing Blake's dress too.
00:36:58She loves it.
00:36:59Yeah, thank you Alan.
00:37:00Alright.
00:37:01Gotta go.
00:37:02See ya.
00:37:03Alright.
00:37:04I'll go grab the suit.
00:37:05Oh, no I got it.
00:37:06Oh, it's fine.
00:37:07No, it's...
00:37:08Hey Alan, thanks for organising the suit, and thanks for organising Blake's dress too,
00:37:24she loves it.
00:37:25Yeah, thank you Alan.
00:37:26Alright, gotta go.
00:37:28See ya.
00:37:29Alright, I'll go grab the suit.
00:37:32Oh, no I got it.
00:37:34Oh, it's fine.
00:37:35No, it's uh...
00:37:37Oh, I see.
00:37:39You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:37:42What?
00:37:43Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:37:48I didn't...
00:37:49I wasn't...
00:37:51Saying...
00:37:52I was joking.
00:37:56Okay, well, I'm gonna get the suit back.
00:37:59No, you're not!
00:38:03I'm...
00:38:04I'm sorry.
00:38:05No!
00:38:06No, wait.
00:38:07Don't apologise.
00:38:11Um...
00:38:12You know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it.
00:38:17I think you look great in the dress.
00:38:20That's fine.
00:38:22I'm gonna go grab the suit, now.
00:38:25Good work.
00:38:37What is it?
00:38:43Your assistant is so rude.
00:38:46How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:38:49You better teach them some manners, or I'm gonna make a complaint.
00:38:53Rita, your drama doesn't work here.
00:38:57Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:39:01Look, I'm here to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:39:09You know you can't replace me.
00:39:11Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:39:15Ria, you have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad.
00:39:22Now that your plans have failed, you cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again.
00:39:27What are you talking about, breached my contract?
00:39:30I went on vacation.
00:39:31What?
00:39:32You didn't tell me anything.
00:39:34Or Ben.
00:39:35So I took it as your resignation.
00:39:37Okay, so take this and draw up a new contract and let's get back into it.
00:39:43I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:39:45Ria, my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:39:50But we're...
00:39:52You're trusting me with a house key.
00:40:22That's key, huh?
00:40:24I should let him know.
00:40:34Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:40:37I'll interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:40:40I'll interrupt.
00:40:58Ben?
00:41:02Ben?
00:41:06Ben?
00:41:28Ben?
00:41:30Ben?
00:41:32Ben?
00:41:34Ben?
00:41:36Ben?
00:41:38Ben?
00:41:40Ben?
00:41:42Ben?
00:41:44Ben?
00:41:46Ben?
00:41:48Ben?
00:41:50Ben?
00:41:52Ben?
00:41:54Ben?
00:41:56Ben?
00:41:59Bye
00:42:09Why does this make you so happy? Oh, because I suck at making coffee and you're really good at this
00:42:17You want to learn?
00:42:19No, that would be really embarrassing
00:42:21Please let me teach you then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again
00:42:26Okay
00:42:28I
00:42:30Know just have to hold it the right angle
00:42:34Okay, you suck at it because you're holding it
00:42:38It's can't all just bring it back a little
00:42:42Just
00:42:58I
00:43:00Hey Alan I know I'm late sorry. Um, what's up? What?
00:43:07Alright
00:43:09What's up?
00:43:10Alan says there's an article about us
00:43:14Come on, let's go
00:43:16Come on let's go
00:43:17Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:43:23Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:43:35Yeah me too
00:43:36Exactly we haven't even done anything yet
00:43:39I still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up
00:43:47But I was just helping her
00:43:48Yeah he was just helping me out the car
00:43:50What's your problem? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:43:53Well I mean it's what we wanted but not how we wanted
00:43:57Sometimes things don't go the way that you planned but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here
00:44:02You don't think it's too sudden?
00:44:05Too sudden?
00:44:06Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:44:11Oh
00:44:13I'm sorry Blake I didn't mean that
00:44:15No
00:44:16No it's the truth right?
00:44:18But that's just a side task right?
00:44:21You are my secretary
00:44:23And it's what you approached me for
00:44:26It's fine really I don't have a problem with this
00:44:29See
00:44:31There's no problem here
00:44:33Okay
00:44:34Well let's move it forward
00:44:37Alright
00:44:38So Ben do you have a plan?
00:44:40Yes
00:44:41Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:44:53Um
00:44:54So that exclusive event we're going to tomorrow
00:44:58Um
00:44:59Are you taking me to a date?
00:45:02Yeah that's what I said
00:45:05No
00:45:06No can't
00:45:07Can't do that
00:45:08Too embarrassing
00:45:09That's what I told Alan
00:45:12It's not
00:45:13That
00:45:14I just
00:45:15I'm ready to do whatever
00:45:16I just
00:45:18Feel like it might be too much
00:45:21Eventually
00:45:22Actually
00:45:23We're going to have to act as a couple
00:45:24In public
00:45:26So why drag that?
00:45:29I can see you're worried
00:45:32It reminds me of when I first debuted
00:45:35I was scared
00:45:37I didn't know how
00:45:39Everyone was going to react
00:45:40Whether they like what I'd done
00:45:42Whether they hate it
00:45:43They'd hate it
00:45:45And I was alone
00:45:47Your fear is justified Blake
00:45:49But you're not alone
00:45:52We'll do this together
00:45:58Alright
00:45:59I'll go with you
00:46:00I'll go with you
00:46:06I think what we installed
00:46:11Is an opportunity here
00:46:13For what?
00:46:16May I?
00:46:17No
00:46:24Okay
00:46:25Act natural
00:46:26Let's sleep
00:46:36Are you going home now?
00:46:38Yeah
00:46:39Yeah no
00:46:40I will miss my bus
00:46:41So I should rush
00:46:43I have something that I need to show you
00:46:45Would you mind coming with me?
00:46:48Um
00:46:49Ben I'll miss my bus
00:46:50It'll just be a minute
00:46:51And I think I have a solution for that
00:46:54Okay
00:46:57This is for you
00:46:59Oh
00:47:00A key to your car now too?
00:47:01A key to your car
00:47:05What are you talking about?
00:47:07I bought you a car
00:47:12Um
00:47:13Are you serious?
00:47:15It's just for your work
00:47:16It will work
00:47:17So you can drive me places
00:47:19And get home alright
00:47:21I
00:47:23I don't mind taking the bus Ben
00:47:24It's fine
00:47:25I know you're fine
00:47:26But I mean
00:47:28You drive me home
00:47:29And then you struggle to get home yourself
00:47:31And no I think it'll help you
00:47:34But I
00:47:36Please take it
00:47:38Okay?
00:47:39It'll make me happy
00:47:40And you need to practice your driving skills
00:47:41So

00:47:47Thank you
00:47:48Thank you Ben

00:48:51Whouuern
00:48:52Hello
00:48:54Listen
00:48:56We cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the rooms
00:49:04Yes
00:49:05Just try and avoid the rooms, thank you very much
00:49:08Thank you very much.
00:49:10Okay.
00:49:12Bye.
00:49:14Ben, what the hell?
00:49:16What do you mean?
00:49:18You told me to go ahead and I did it.
00:49:20This is just the start.
00:49:22You freaking kissed
00:49:24Blake.
00:49:26I thought you were going to start small by like
00:49:28giving her a handshake or just a hug.
00:49:32Is it working?
00:49:34That's the goal.
00:49:38What the hell is going on Ben?
00:49:42Explain yourself!
00:49:44Explain what and why?
00:49:46Don't play dumb with me.
00:49:48You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:49:50I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:49:52Alright?
00:49:54I thought we were minding our own business.
00:49:56You're so stuck in the past.
00:49:58Can you get over that already?
00:50:00You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:50:02Just when are you going to drop that?
00:50:04I thought we were exclusive.
00:50:06What happened to us?
00:50:08Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:50:10We're broken up.
00:50:12You never actually broke up with me.
00:50:14Oh jeez.
00:50:16You left me.
00:50:18Yeah.
00:50:20You left me.
00:50:22You left me.
00:50:24You left me.
00:50:26You left me.
00:50:28You told me to mind my own business.
00:50:30You treated me like garbage.
00:50:32And you expect me to do what?
00:50:34You come in here and I just forgive you.
00:50:35Okay Ben.
00:50:36Ben.
00:50:37Calm down.
00:50:38No.
00:50:39No.
00:50:40You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:50:44Ben.
00:50:46Oh, just please ask her to leave.
00:50:48Ria.
00:50:49Please.
00:50:50So you're Blake.
00:51:00Hey Blake.
00:51:02Let me drive you back to my place.
00:51:05Okay?
00:51:06Okay.
00:51:16I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:51:19And you know driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:51:22Why is that?
00:51:24Because you don't pay attention to the road and you don't think when you're angry.
00:51:31I'm being serious.
00:51:33Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:51:35Yeah.
00:51:36I like to drive to distract myself.
00:51:40I can't help.
00:51:42Oh.
00:51:43Okay.
00:51:44Okay.
00:51:45What do you do when you're angry?
00:51:47Alone.
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.
00:52:07Well, you don't have to anymore.
00:52:10You've got me now.
00:52:12Always.
00:52:13Always.
00:52:19Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:52:21I am very busy because, you know, I'm really bad at folding clothes.
00:52:28I can tell.
00:52:30Well, I can teach you.
00:52:34I'd like that.
00:52:35Yep.
00:52:43Here we go.
00:52:44I have to.
00:52:45Before we go, there's a little.
00:52:47It has to be too long.
00:52:48And you know, it's a little new.
00:52:50How could I do this?
00:52:51We'll travel.
00:52:52I'm very busy.
00:52:53I don't know.
00:52:54But here's the next point.
00:52:55I'm very busy.
00:52:56I'm very busy.
00:52:57You I don't know.
00:52:58You're busy.
00:52:59You're busy.
00:53:00I'm busy.
00:53:01I'm busy.
00:53:02I'm busy.
00:53:03I'm busy.
00:53:04.
00:53:34.
00:54:04.
00:54:34.
00:54:36.
00:54:38.
00:54:40.
00:54:42.
00:54:44.
00:54:46.
00:54:48.
00:54:50.
00:54:52.
00:54:54.
00:54:56.
00:54:58.
00:55:00.
00:55:02Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:55:04Yeah, should we go?
00:55:06Let's go!
00:55:12You wait here, I'll go get the package.
00:55:14Yeah.
00:55:20Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:55:26You know he's just using you.
00:55:28He always does that.
00:55:30You miss me.
00:55:32What are you doing?
00:55:34Let go of me!
00:55:36Ben is mine.
00:55:38I won't let you steal from me.
00:55:40Really?
00:55:41Stop being delusional.
00:55:42He wants nothing to do with you!
00:55:44.
00:55:52Don't you ever mess with me!
00:55:56.
00:56:00.
00:56:02.
00:56:04.
00:56:06.
00:56:08.

00:57:55.
00:57:56.
00:57:58.
00:57:59.
00:58:00.
00:58:01.
00:58:02.
00:58:04.
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.
00:58:32I won't let it end like this quick.
00:58:35Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me. I'm just your secretary.
00:58:43You'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...
00:59:02I think...
00:59:08I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:59:14Since... 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...
00:59:30I want you to know that I have loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:59:39But after today...
00:59:40If you want to end the contract here...
00:59:43That's okay.
00:59:44I... I understand.
00:59:45I understand.
00:59:47And...
00:59:48Please...
00:59:49Don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:59:52I just wanted to be true to myself.
00:59:54Can I... kiss you?
01:00:05Cause I...
01:00:06I really want to.
01:00:08That's okay.
01:00:09Keep going.
01:00:10According to them.
01:00:11I don't be allowed.
01:00:12Yes?
01:00:13So...
01:00:14I...
01:00:15Can I...
01:00:16I...
01:00:17I...
01:00:19That's okay.
01:00:20I'm sorry.
01:00:21So...
01:00:22I...
01:00:23I...
01:00:24That's okay.
01:00:25I...
01:00:26It's okay.
01:00:27So, I can...
01:00:28I...
01:00:29That's fine.
01:00:30I can't wait.
01:00:31Yes?
01:00:32Hello, I can't wait.
01:00:33I can't wait.
01:00:35Yes?
01:00:37What happened last night? I'm hearing all kinds of things.
01:00:41Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene.
01:00:45When will she leave us alone?
01:00:47What did she do exactly?
01:00:50Well, I was taking pictures of them, like you asked.
01:00:55And then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up.
01:00:59And then she started this argument and she slapped her.
01:01:04Oh, she's really crossed the line this time.
01:01:08Write an article about this.
01:01:09We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
01:01:13Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm only paid to write for Ben.
01:01:30Consider it done.
01:01:34Who is this?
01:01:38She's a reporter.
01:01:39What are you doing?
01:01:42Look, I hired her.
01:01:50Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
01:01:53It wasn't important.
01:01:55The heck, Alan?
01:01:56You hired the reporter.
01:01:58You know what she's done.
01:01:59I know, I know, I know, but you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
01:02:04Of course, right?
01:02:05She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
01:02:09Look, she wrote those articles.
01:02:11I know, I know.
01:02:12Please, take a seat.
01:02:14Look.
01:02:14She wrote those articles on you in the first place.
01:02:19Therefore, she has the audience we need.
01:02:21Don't you see?
01:02:24She wrote one story about you and the old rumors died.
01:02:28This is because people trust her.
01:02:30One good deed does not make her a good person, okay?
01:02:33I don't trust her.
01:02:34I know, I know.
01:02:36I don't trust her either.
01:02:39But I've got a plan, okay?
01:02:41She is useful.
01:02:45Still.
01:02:46Ben, in my years of managing, I've learned one thing.
01:02:52Sometimes you need to take the risk.
01:02:56Whatever.
01:02:58Okay, I just don't want to get Blake involved in this.
01:03:01Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
01:03:03No, I know.
01:03:03So, say what happened to her last night.
01:03:07Wait.
01:03:09Wait, where is she?
01:03:10Why isn't she with you?
01:03:13Oh, don't tell me she's left.
01:03:15We can't do this without her.
01:03:17How are we going to do an ex-
01:03:18She's just taking a break today.
01:03:20Everything's fine.
01:03:22But I do need to tell you something.
01:03:33It smells so good.
01:03:44What time did you wake up?
01:03:46I woke up just after you left.
01:03:50I can't stay away from you for long.
01:03:52Mm-hmm.
01:04:10Food's ready.
01:04:11Can't we eat later?
01:04:26Alright.
01:04:36Why'd you call?
01:04:38Don't lie down with me.
01:04:40Defame me.
01:04:42Fear you.
01:04:44I mean, why else?
01:04:46Why would you call this soon?
01:04:48Ben's gay story was your idea.
01:04:51Can you keep it down?
01:04:53Someone could hear us.
01:04:54It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me.
01:04:59How many times do I have to tell you?
01:05:01This is not about defaming Ben.
01:05:03I just wanted him to get back with me.
01:05:06But I do need your help.
01:05:09I have some intel on Blake that I think you can want to hear.
01:05:22Their relationship, the whole thing is fake.
01:05:26They've got a contract.
01:05:28It's all for not listening.
01:05:30Expose her.
01:05:33Maria, this isn't enough.
01:05:34I know that.
01:05:41That should be enough.
01:05:42I know.
01:05:46Now.
01:05:47Do it.
01:05:48Drag, like, through the press.
01:05:53And if you do it.
01:05:54And it works.
01:05:57I'll agree to go on a date with you.
01:06:00Do you promise?
01:06:03Promise.
01:06:05Anything for a date with you.
01:06:15Do whatever you want to do.
01:06:18Say it with a smile.
01:06:19Be nice, Alan.
01:06:23Do whatever you want to do.
01:06:26See, that's what I'm talking about.
01:06:28Well, how do you want to go about this?
01:06:31People already know you're dating.
01:06:32Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct about our relationship status.
01:06:39Alright.
01:06:41What about you, Blake?
01:06:43Your contract?
01:06:45Let's just end the contract here.
01:06:47We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:06:51Alright.
01:06:52And what about your secretary, Jerome?
01:06:54Still going to continue with that?
01:06:58Yeah, I'll still keep my job at home.
01:07:01Alright.
01:07:02Well, she's made of her mind.
01:07:16No way.
01:07:18You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:07:28I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:07:30Yeah, let me see.
01:07:32You need to clear it.
01:07:33I'm going to go see Blake.
01:07:34She's not feeling well.
01:07:36Of course, of course. I understand.
01:07:40You need to listen to me for a second.
01:07:43I'm sorry.
01:07:46I shouldn't find her.
01:07:49Yeah, I told you that before.
01:07:51But you didn't listen to me.
01:07:53And now we're here, okay?
01:07:54She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:07:57Including her home address and the village.
01:07:59She's not safe anymore.
01:08:01What am I supposed-
01:08:02Do you understand how bad this is?
01:08:04How am I supposed to face her?
01:08:05Just-
01:08:07Just talk to her.
01:08:08I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:08:09You do your job.
01:08:12I'll do mine.
01:08:25What's in the bag?
01:08:29Where are you going?
01:08:30You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:08:37What does it look like when you've been not leaving?
01:08:40What? No, you can't leave.
01:08:42We can fix this.
01:08:43It's not over-
01:08:44No, no.
01:08:45Everything about me is on the internet.
01:08:47Okay?
01:08:48I can't take it anymore.
01:08:49People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:08:53You're not fake.
01:08:55Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:08:57I can fix everything.
01:09:01I can't do this anymore.
01:09:03Ben, this isn't me.
01:09:04This isn't who I am.
01:09:05Like-
01:09:06I love you so much.
01:09:08Just-
01:09:10Let me do something to fix it.
01:09:11I promise.
01:09:12Go!
01:09:15Just go!
01:09:16I can't- I can't do this anymore.
01:09:21Just go.
01:09:27Good work, Polygo.
01:09:39Anything for you?
01:09:42So, um...
01:09:44Where's your part of the deal?
01:09:47I think I already paid you.
01:09:49Yeah.
01:09:50Yeah, you did.
01:09:52I'm talking about our date.
01:09:54Oliver.
01:09:57I was just kidding.
01:10:02You were kidding?
01:10:04Yeah, I-
01:10:05I thought you realised that.
01:10:07Look.
01:10:09We're just so different.
01:10:13What do you mean by that?
01:10:15Well...
01:10:17Let's just say I'm really useful
01:10:20to lots of different journalists.
01:10:22They want to date me
01:10:24and get the inside scoop
01:10:25and I just can't let that happen.
01:10:28Wait, so you-
01:10:29You think I can't do my job without you?
01:10:32Obviously.
01:10:34I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:10:38Wow.
01:10:42But...
01:10:44I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:10:46I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:10:50You understand.
01:10:54I gotta keep going.
01:10:56Okay, sorry.
01:10:57We need a note.
01:11:02On the same level as you.
01:11:07We'll see about that.
01:11:08Hello?
01:11:09Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:11:10Ben's sick right now.
01:11:11That's why he wasn't on set today.
01:11:13Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot,
01:11:14that would be amazing.
01:11:16Yeah.
01:11:18Yeah, thank you very much.
01:11:19All right.
01:11:21Okay, bye.
01:11:22Please pick up Ben.
01:11:23Please pick up Ben.
01:11:24This is the legal notice I'm writing you.
01:11:26Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot,
01:11:27that would be amazing.
01:11:28Yeah.
01:11:30Yeah, thank you very much.
01:11:31All right.
01:11:33Okay, bye.
01:11:34Please pick up Ben.
01:11:43Please pick up Ben.
01:11:44This is the legal notice I'm writing here.
01:11:53Find and double the amount paid.
01:12:00It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:12:05It's not negotiable.
01:12:09I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:12:18Fine, 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.
01:12:29Are you loyal to nobody? You really are a piece of work.
01:12:33Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:12:38Alright.
01:12:41But 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.
01:12:55I can never make anyone happy.
01:13:05Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:13:11What?
01:13:12Read the headline I sent you.
01:13:26I understand your decision to leave, but I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:13:41But in the end it's your life. I won't force you to do anything.
01:13:56Ria 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.
01:14:15Good for her. It's the least she deserves.
01:14:21And we'll write a statement for you.
01:14:24And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:14:28It's fine, Alan. You don't have to waste all that money on me. I'm just a regular person.
01:14:37So what? Regular people don't deserve respect?
01:14:43You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked so hard to achieve.
01:14:57That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:15:00And I would really appreciate it if you could not tell Ben about this, please.
01:15:11Blank. Just take the check, please.
01:15:18I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:15:23See ya.
01:15:25Thank you for bearing with me.
01:15:47Why are you here then?
01:15:49So, you've decided to leave. That's alright. Just let me drop you off.
01:15:58And I'm...
01:15:59Please. One last time.
01:16:04Fine.
01:16:05You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:16:18I 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...
01:16:47Without you, nothing else matters.
01:16:51I don't know.
01:16:53I'm glad you have.
01:16:55I don't know.
01:17:00I'm gonna...
01:17:01I'm gonna...
01:17:03walk from here.
01:17:04You shouldn't come.
01:17:17Hey.
01:17:19Do you want to come meet my family?
01:17:25I don't know.
01:17:26I don't know.
01:17:27I don't know.
01:17:31Will.
