00:00:00Oh
00:00:30I can't believe I'm so close to Freddie Jones.
00:00:39Charlotte, why are you just standing here when there's people without hors d'oeuvres?
00:00:44Sorry, sir, the caterers were in off, so I could get more.
00:00:47Finally, more hors d'oeuvres.
00:00:49I was just talking to the head of the studio.
00:00:51We share a ski cabin.
00:00:52She's having a great time, Uncle Seth.
00:00:54Oh, at least I have one intern who knows how to host a party.
00:00:57Charlotte, you could take a few notes here from Ava.
00:01:01This isn't your backwoods Applebee's.
00:01:03This is a Hollywood party.
00:01:06Hey, Mark Paul Gossler!
00:01:08He's right.
00:01:09You're too uptight and sweaty.
00:01:11It's not helping your whole Walmart aesthetic.
00:01:15It's not helping that I've been working this entire party by myself.
00:01:18It doesn't matter how hard you work.
00:01:20People have to like you.
00:01:22Nobody likes a martyr who dresses like she works at the DMV.
00:01:25Let's give up and go home.
00:01:27Thanks, Ava, but I don't need advice on how to charm a room from a nepho baby.
00:01:31I've been working for TIP since I was 15.
00:01:46Mr. Jones?
00:01:47Call me Freddy.
00:01:51Right.
00:01:52Um, I'm so sorry.
00:01:53You don't need to be sorry.
00:01:55This party needed a little excitement.
00:01:58It was trash and everybody knows it.
00:01:59Yeah.
00:02:01I mean, I prefer your earlier work, but you were still excellent.
00:02:06Thanks for telling me the truth.
00:02:08Nobody tells me the truth anymore.
00:02:10Well, it was, uh, nice bumping into you.
00:02:18Hey, Mr. Jones.
00:02:20Hey, you should be the one entertaining our star client.
00:02:23Not her.
00:02:24I can only hire one of you.
00:02:25Right now, she's winning.
00:02:27Do better.
00:02:28I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire one, but I can only hire
00:02:58There you are, folks.
00:02:59The best of all I've ever seen.
00:03:01I've been watching you all right.
00:03:03Hey, how's this?
00:03:04You're on a good time.
00:03:05One, two, man.
00:03:06You ain't great.
00:03:15Where am I?
00:03:17Good morning.
00:03:23Good morning.
00:03:28Yo, what's up?
00:03:30Did you forget that today is the first day of your master plan?
00:03:46Come on, man.
00:03:47Get down here.
00:03:48Yeah, all right.
00:03:58Hey, what a premiere, Mr. Jones.
00:04:03I don't know whether you pour radiant on screen or off.
00:04:06Hey, what can I get you?
00:04:07You want a coffee?
00:04:08Water?
00:04:09No, I'm fine.
00:04:10Thanks.
00:04:11I'll get both, just in case.
00:04:16Close the door.
00:04:22O Negative, your favorite.
00:04:24Figure after last night, you would be pretty hungry.
00:04:28I didn't even like that.
00:04:30Just needed help and I needed an exit.
00:04:33Come on, Freddy.
00:04:34I've been your best friend and your enabler for the last 200 years.
00:04:38And during that time, I've known you to be very picky, very cautious, and a very, very demanding vampire.
00:04:46So come on.
00:04:47Give me something.
00:04:48How'd she taste?
00:04:53I don't know, man.
00:04:54I think she was an intern.
00:04:55I didn't even get her name.
00:04:57But nothing happened.
00:04:59Good.
00:05:00Cause I got enough to worry about while you're going away undercover.
00:05:03You sure about this plan?
00:05:05I mean, come on.
00:05:06Why can't you just go to the Maldives like every other actor?
00:05:09I just need to get away from everything.
00:05:11The business, my parents, this whole movie star lifestyle.
00:05:16It's just...
00:05:17But why do you want to go undercover as an intern?
00:05:19Is this about that intern girl?
00:05:21Yeah, I may have come on a bit strong.
00:05:23I don't know.
00:05:24There's just something about her.
00:05:25But how do you know dressing up like an intern is going to help you get to know her?
00:05:28And how do you know that when you get close to her, you're not just going to blow your cover?
00:05:32I don't know. I'll play it cool.
00:05:33I'll work hard.
00:05:34Hopefully our paths will cross.
00:05:36I can feel it though.
00:05:37Fine.
00:05:38I'll do what I can.
00:05:40But please.
00:05:41Promise me you're not going to let this intern thing distract you from your actual job.
00:05:45Thanks, Coleman.
00:05:46This is going to be the role of a lifetime.
00:05:52Better.
00:05:54But you can't help but look like a movie star.
00:05:56I think I might need help from a glamour, so...
00:06:00So, I didn't know if you wanted all the...
00:06:04Where's Mr. Jones?
00:06:06He had an engagement.
00:06:09Who's this?
00:06:10This is Edward, our new intern.
00:06:13Oh, great.
00:06:15Another one.
00:06:16Well, let's get you started.
00:06:23Jesus.
00:06:24This might actually work.
00:06:25When can I expect money from you?
00:06:36I'm bartending nights and weekends.
00:06:38But if you don't make some more money soon, you won't have a home to return to.
00:06:42Do you know the debt we're in?
00:06:44We're going to lose the bar if you don't start helping.
00:06:47The internship is going great.
00:06:49I'm going to have a new job before...
00:06:51We know it.
00:06:52Okay?
00:06:53Um, I have to go.
00:06:55Bye.
00:07:00After you humiliated yourself in front of the entire industry,
00:07:03I'm surprised you even came in today.
00:07:05What happened to me last night?
00:07:07I know I only have one drink.
00:07:09Were you taking bets on who you ended up with?
00:07:11My money's in the pay from the mail room.
00:07:14Leave me alone.
00:07:23Oh, if it isn't Miss Life of the Party.
00:07:26You know, it's one thing to entertain the clients,
00:07:29but it's another to walk around acting like a drunken floozy.
00:07:32I'm sorry, I don't...
00:07:34Oh, really? You're sorry about that?
00:07:35Well, there's penance you can show around the new intern.
00:07:39We have a new intern?
00:07:40Yeah, yeah, that guy.
00:07:42Hey, come on over here.
00:07:43Hawk Hogan, yeah, you.
00:07:45Jesus, stop doing workouts and talk to her.
00:07:49Hi, I'm Edward.
00:07:57Hi, I'm Edward.
00:08:01Are you okay?
00:08:03Yeah, I'm Charlotte.
00:08:05Let me show you around.
00:08:11Hey, cutie.
00:08:12Oh, hello.
00:08:13Are you running for junior exec?
00:08:15No, I'm not looking for anything permanent.
00:08:18Oh, good.
00:08:19We should get along fine then.
00:08:21So, where are you from?
00:08:23Look, I'm supposed to help Charlotte with something, so...
00:08:26Between us, Charlotte's character isn't going to get her very far in this industry.
00:08:30This was her last night.
00:08:31Hey!
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:33Where are you going?
00:08:34To go help Charlotte?
00:08:35Like you should have done last night.
00:08:36So, Freddie just went on vacation.
00:08:37When he gets back, he's going to want something very different for his next project.
00:08:42We're looking for something that's very character-driven, but at the same time, something that only he could play.
00:08:48So, ideas?
00:08:49What about a period piece?
00:08:50You know, Freddie has this classic quality to him.
00:08:51Like, he could almost be from a different time.
00:08:52Um, I could see him in a western, or a Jane Austen movie.
00:08:53Oh, that's really perceptive.
00:08:54Excuse me.
00:08:55Interns?
00:08:56Yeah.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00Yeah.
00:09:01Yeah.
00:09:02Yeah.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07Yeah.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:09Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:16Excuse me.
00:09:17Interns?
00:09:18But the grown-ups are talking?
00:09:20Do you know who you're talking to?
00:09:24Do you know who you're talking to?
00:09:30I mean, it's Fred Edwards' first day.
00:09:35Sorry.
00:09:40Oh, I totally forgot.
00:09:43I've actually got to run, but I'm greatly looking forward to hearing all of your ideas.
00:09:51When you're big shots, you can open your mouth every time a dumb idea pops into your head.
00:09:56But until then, you're nobody.
00:09:58I'll remember that.
00:09:59Good.
00:10:00Charlotte, you can say and clean up after the party.
00:10:03I'll tell the cleaning services to skip this weekend.
00:10:05Tonight?
00:10:06Tonight?
00:10:07But I have another job.
00:10:08Oh, great.
00:10:09But you should have thought about that before you embarrassed our department.
00:10:13Ava.
00:10:15Happy hour.
00:10:17I'm buying.
00:10:23You know you don't have to stay and clean up with me, right?
00:10:26I don't mind.
00:10:28Can I ask you something?
00:10:30Are Ava and Seth real pieces of shit?
00:10:32You know, I shouldn't laugh.
00:10:37No, you should.
00:10:38You have a really beautiful smile.
00:10:41No, but seriously, why are they always like that?
00:10:44I don't know.
00:10:45It's just kind of the way they are.
00:10:47Ava's in the running for the same job as me and Seth's her uncle, so...
00:10:52Anyway, what's your story?
00:10:56Why are you here?
00:10:58I mean, you can call it a court of life crisis.
00:11:03I don't know, I guess I've just been sheltered my whole life, so...
00:11:06I just wanted to try something new.
00:11:07You wanted to try picking up trash with me?
00:11:11I mean, there's worse ways to spend your day.
00:11:14Plus, I thought you can, you know, teach me a few things, and I can learn to end it out.
00:11:20Deal.
00:11:22Shoot, I'm gonna be late for work.
00:11:26Look, this isn't work?
00:11:28Not for me.
00:11:30You know we don't get paid, right?
00:11:32What?
00:11:34I'll see you on Monday.
00:11:40Hey, Coleman.
00:11:42Yeah, give me the personal file on Charlotte Sin.
00:11:45Yeah, I need to know everything about her.
00:11:47Also, we gotta start paying these interns.
00:11:49All right.
00:12:02Why would you want to meet here?
00:12:04You hate places like this.
00:12:06Yeah, you do.
00:12:08What can I get the two?
00:12:10Mr. Hart?
00:12:13Edward, do you guys know each other?
00:12:15Us?
00:12:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:12:19Look, he's a friend of my father's.
00:12:22I just didn't want anyone to think I was another Nepo baby.
00:12:25That's why you're so sheltered.
00:12:28Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
00:12:30Do you know what you'd like?
00:12:32Yeah, we'll take two Bloody Marys.
00:12:35Extra Bloody?
00:12:36What?
00:12:42Small world.
00:12:44Small world and, oh look!
00:12:46Right there is where it tells you where she works in her personnel file.
00:12:50Yeah.
00:12:51Would you look at that?
00:12:52I think you already did.
00:12:53She's amazing, though.
00:12:55Top of her class.
00:12:57Full-ride scholarship.
00:12:59She could be anything.
00:13:00I don't know why she'd want to settle at the bottom in Hollywood.
00:13:03Sounds like somebody else that we know.
00:13:05Even the drinking.
00:13:07Okay.
00:13:08You know, Ava had a lot to do with that.
00:13:09You could smell it on her a mile away.
00:13:13If you have some time this weekend and you feel like getting your hands dirty.
00:13:17Yeah, sure.
00:13:19I'll be right back with those drinks.
00:13:24Oh, brother.
00:13:26You are in love.
00:13:28Can you make mine a double, please?
00:13:41Hey.
00:13:42So how do you know if a script is worth pitching?
00:13:44A good script grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go.
00:13:46You can't stop thinking about it.
00:13:48Edward, save yourself some time.
00:13:51If a script isn't on the blacklist, it's a pass.
00:13:54It's that easy.
00:13:55Like this one.
00:14:04Once you find a script you love, it makes all the drudgery worth it.
00:14:07At least for me.
00:14:09Hey, stop gabbing and get me your weekend script reports.
00:14:12I need something that screams Freddie Jones to bring to Coleman.
00:14:16So what do we got?
00:14:18I read a lot of great scripts.
00:14:20This top one is a modern take on Sunset Boulevard.
00:14:22Isn't that like black and white?
00:14:24That's one of the greatest movies of all time.
00:14:27You sound just like Freddie Jones.
00:14:28He always says that that's the movie that inspired him to act.
00:14:31Look at you two.
00:14:33Sounding like nerds and losers living in the 50s.
00:14:36A contact to send an action romance.
00:14:38That's perfect.
00:14:39Ava, you are the best.
00:14:42I bet Freddie's gonna love that.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:50I bet Freddie will love that.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53This script has a lot of heat and it's a great part for Freddie.
00:15:01Yeah, if we don't jump on this now tomorrow, I promise we're gonna read in the trades that Leo's doing it.
00:15:06It's really good.
00:15:07But it's completely wrong with Freddie.
00:15:17But it's got everything.
00:15:19Action, sex.
00:15:20He even has his shirt off for over an hour.
00:15:23Yeah, but there's plenty more where that came from.
00:15:26Good.
00:15:27Because Freddie's looking for a wide spectrum.
00:15:31So I'm gonna want to hear pitches from all of the interns.
00:15:35And whoever can pitch a film that Freddie actually wants to buy, gets the junior executive position.
00:15:51You okay, honey?
00:15:53That beer has more head than a truck stop men's room.
00:15:55Yeah, sorry.
00:15:58It's just work stuff.
00:16:00Work stuff or romance stuff?
00:16:03Don't look so shocked.
00:16:05Spending 20 years in a bar, I get really good at reading people, okay?
00:16:09I don't even know if it's mutual.
00:16:11It is.
00:16:13How do you know that?
00:16:14Because I got a sense about this stuff.
00:16:16Plus, he's sitting over that table and he just asked about you.
00:16:26What are you doing here?
00:16:29Well, I got those scripts that Seth tossed in the trash and I thought you'd want to talk about them.
00:16:38Okay.
00:16:39Thanks for coming out tonight.
00:16:43You know, even if nothing happens, I...
00:16:46I love talking about movies with you.
00:16:48I love talking about movies with you too.
00:16:51Honestly, four hours does not seem like enough time.
00:16:54Shit.
00:16:55Shit.
00:16:59Smell that?
00:17:01O negative.
00:17:03My favorite.
00:17:06That's interesting.
00:17:07Let's take them both.
00:17:25I'm hungry.
00:17:27Sniff again.
00:17:29He's one of us.
00:17:32No way.
00:17:33No way.
00:17:35Is that?
00:17:43I gotta go.
00:17:49You'll never guess who just came in.
00:17:52You're his biggest fan.
00:18:03Can you imagine being so famous you have to lie about being on vacation?
00:18:13Don't you have work you should be doing?
00:18:15My contact just sent me another hot script, so no.
00:18:24Hey, Charlotte.
00:18:26Can I get your help? I jammed the printer again.
00:18:30Again?
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:33Seriously?
00:18:34Yeah.
00:18:38Hey, what do you have for me?
00:18:40I just forwarded you a new script everyone is talking about.
00:18:44That's all you have?
00:18:46That script just sold and it's not even what he's looking for.
00:18:49Aren't you even listening?
00:18:50How am I supposed to find something small and pretentious?
00:18:54It's boring.
00:18:56Figure it out.
00:18:57I got you to third base.
00:18:58You can score your own home run.
00:19:00If that farm girl brings in a script that Freddie wants to buy,
00:19:03I can't stop Coleman from hiring her.
00:19:06Get on it.
00:19:08Now!
00:19:10Jesus fucking Christ.
00:19:20Okay, maybe I did want to talk to you.
00:19:37Yeah, well you better do it fast because I might have to run away suddenly with no explanation.
00:19:42Okay, Charlotte, look about the other night.
00:19:44It's fine.
00:19:45You don't have to explain.
00:19:47We worked together.
00:19:48You did the smart thing.
00:19:50We should...
00:19:51Keep it professional.
00:19:52Right?
00:19:56Yeah, I mean, if that's what you want.
00:19:59Don't do it like that.
00:20:00You're gonna rip it.
00:20:05Is this my proposal?
00:20:07Yeah, I was bringing out extra copies for you.
00:20:10So nice.
00:20:11Well, it should work now.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:18Thanks.
00:20:28Why is the door locked?
00:20:31I didn't lock it.
00:20:32Must have been Ava.
00:20:37Hey, are you okay?
00:20:38I'm claustrophobic and confined spaces that make me panic.
00:20:45Okay, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:20:46It's gonna be okay.
00:20:47All right, you're gonna be okay.
00:20:49Trust me for a second, okay?
00:20:50Okay?
00:21:07Better?
00:21:08How did you do that?
00:21:10Just a little trick I learned.
00:21:15Yeah, you're right.
00:21:16Okay.
00:21:17We should probably keep it professional.
00:21:25Wait.
00:21:30Okay.
00:21:46What's going on here?
00:21:48Why is the door locked?
00:21:53Let's get you out of here.
00:21:54Come on.
00:22:03Man, being an intern is hard work.
00:22:07By the way, have you seen Charlotte's proposal?
00:22:10It's pretty good.
00:22:11Freddie, it's time to go back.
00:22:15I've got paparazzi circling the kill, just looking for a scoop.
00:22:18And guess what?
00:22:20You know who's been calling me?
00:22:22Diana.
00:22:23And she's been asking me questions.
00:22:25Okay.
00:22:26So what, Diana has paparazzi working for her now?
00:22:29Vampire paparazzi.
00:22:30When is that woman ever gonna realize it is not gonna work out between us?
00:22:35I don't care what she wants, or what my parents want, or what the paparazzi wants.
00:22:39It's not gonna work.
00:22:40Yeah, well, it's easy to be patient when you're an immortal bitch.
00:22:44True.
00:22:46I know you and Charlotte have a bond.
00:22:49But it's time to call a rap on Eddie, and time to get back to work.
00:22:53Back to my lonely, gilded cage?
00:22:57You signed up for this.
00:23:00She didn't.
00:23:07How's your project proposal going?
00:23:09Why do you care?
00:23:10I want it to be good, if I'm going to hand it in.
00:23:13What are you talking about?
00:23:14My contact fell through, and I can't hand in nothing, so...
00:23:18Unless you help me, I'll have to hand in...
00:23:21This.
00:23:23Tough spot, Ava.
00:23:25How'd you get pages from my journal?
00:23:27Careful how you talk to me.
00:23:29You're one phone call away from being a stupid slut that tamed Freddy's career.
00:23:33There's no scandal if we didn't even sleep together.
00:23:37I don't understand why you would do this, Ava.
00:23:39If you work for Freddy, you're gonna ruin his career.
00:23:42I won't.
00:23:43Unless you force me to.
00:23:45So what will it be?
00:23:51Let's get set up.
00:23:58They love the proposal so much, they want me to present it to the board.
00:24:02I hope you're happy with yourself.
00:24:03You're looking at the new junior executive.
00:24:07Don't worry.
00:24:08I requested you stay on as my personal intern.
00:24:11Hey!
00:24:12Where are you going with that?
00:24:24Have you seen Eddie?
00:24:25Looks like your little boyfriend left without saying goodbye.
00:24:26Let's focus everyone.
00:24:27We've got a lot to discuss.
00:24:28Guess he wasn't as into you as you thought.
00:24:29I don't think we'll need you for this meeting.
00:24:30I'm pretty sure there's some cleaning to do around the office.
00:24:31Fine with me.
00:24:32i'm tracy.
00:24:33Mr. Jones?
00:24:50Where are you going?
00:24:53Please stay.
00:24:54I need to know everybody that puts me in.
00:24:57Sure.
00:24:58You can take notes.
00:24:59notes. There he is. End of the hour. Hey, welcome back, Freddie. Looking tan and refreshed better
00:25:06than ever. Thank you, Seth. Appreciate that. I would really like to know if this movie is at its
00:25:16core. Ava, this is your baby. I would love to hear from you. Well, at its core, it's a Freddie
00:25:23Jones movie. That's what people are paying to see. So what's your vision? Do you see this more
00:25:28the classic Hollywood homage, a mystery, a romance? I think it has it all. What's your
00:25:37favorite part? The ending. What happens in the end? Your character, uh, wins? You know, it's
00:25:46funny. You wrote such an elegant summary, but you can't recall any major plot points or how
00:25:52it ends. I'm just curious. Did you actually read the script or did you just have AI spit
00:25:56out a report for you? Of course I wrote this. It's just been a few weeks and I, I... What
00:26:03do you think? At its heart, it's a romance. A mystery with a satirical edge, but ultimately
00:26:15a love story with its poignant and tragic ending. Sounds like a good movie. Why do you think it'd
00:26:22be beneficial for my career? Because people might not know it yet, but you can do more
00:26:27than look good with your shirt off. Opening weekend, they're going to go to see Freddie
00:26:32Jones, the movie star. But come Monday, they're going to tell their friends to go see Freddie
00:26:36Jones, the actor. I love that. You sold me. Ava, I would like you to take notes for Charlotte
00:26:48from now on.
00:26:52What the hell was that? Ow, you're hurting me. I just answered his question. You set me
00:27:03up. You humiliated me. You should have prepared me better. I just know I had to prepare you.
00:27:08Didn't you read what you handed in? Oh, it was insanely long and I have better things to
00:27:12do. That was the whole point of using your proposal. You made me look like an idiot. No,
00:27:17Ava, actually, you did that all on your own. You made me look so bad. I need an explanation.
00:27:23She set me up. Your assistant executed a master plan to embarrass you and take control of a meeting.
00:27:28If that's true, then we should probably have her on the executive payroll. She planned this
00:27:32with Freddie. I have proof just to humiliate me. They slept together. That's enough.
00:27:39Oz, I'm sorry. Where is it? Where is it? Where? It's just, here it is. Can we get security,
00:27:48please? No. It was her. They slept together. Why don't you believe me? Let go of me. Do you know
00:27:56how much his dress costs? I'll see you again soon.
00:28:09Hey. So, how'd it go today? Where were you?
00:28:19Ray Jones!
00:28:20Ray Jones, look at you! Get out of here. No, I told you guys. No, no pictures. Go! Get out of here. Go!
00:28:27What the hell is going on? Why did they call you Freddie?
00:28:31Look, Charlotte, I... I never meant to trick you.
00:28:46Please.
00:28:49I don't... I don't know what to think. I don't know who you are.
00:28:54Charlotte.
00:28:54We just wanted a story. But I guess we'll settle for something else.
00:29:24Get the fuck away from me!
00:29:39Charlotte. Are you okay?
00:29:41You look hurt. Are you hurt?
00:29:42I'm fine. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.
00:29:46Why are you apologizing? You just saved me life.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:49Come on.
00:29:50Come on.
00:29:51Come on.
00:29:52Come on.
00:29:53Oh, the boss is going to love this.
00:30:08You sure you're okay?
00:30:09Thanks, Charlotte.
00:30:09Does that hurt?
00:30:19A little.
00:30:20Are they always following you like that?
00:30:25Is this what it's like to be Freddie Jones?
00:30:28I'm sorry I got you into this.
00:30:31But I hope you don't sneak out this time.
00:30:32Weren't you hurt?
00:30:34I think you might have hit your head a little too hard.
00:30:42I should probably lie back.
00:30:43Look, I live in a world full of powerful people.
00:30:50And not all of them are good.
00:30:52But you are.
00:30:52Look, all I want to do is protect you, Charlotte.
00:30:54Look, all I want to do is protect you, Charlotte.
00:31:10Hey.
00:31:10Good morning.
00:31:13Good morning.
00:31:14Listen, I have breakfast coming up for you right now.
00:31:18I'm going to step out and make a quick phone call, okay?
00:31:21Just lie back and rest.
00:31:24All right.
00:31:24Coleman.
00:31:37Hey, what do you know about the paparazzi attack last night?
00:31:39That cannot happen again.
00:31:41You got it, boss.
00:31:42You'll have security.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:43She better.
00:31:47Shit!
00:31:48How long has it been?
00:31:49I hear you and Freddie have been very busy boys behind my back.
00:31:53Look, I'm sure you're disappointed that he's not going to do another sequel, as am I.
00:31:58But he's already made up his mind.
00:32:00Listen, dipshit.
00:32:01We both know which head he's thinking with, and it's not the one above his shoulders.
00:32:04Well, that's not my business.
00:32:06Actually, fuckhead, it is your business.
00:32:08My guy just sent me these photos.
00:32:23No, I don't know the pay rate yet, Mom, but it's...
00:32:28It's entry-level.
00:32:32$3,000 a month?
00:32:33How am I supposed to...
00:32:35No, I know it's a...
00:32:36Okay, Mom.
00:32:38Okay, Mom, I have to go.
00:32:43Okay, bye.
00:32:45What was that all about?
00:32:47Nothing.
00:32:49You know, this is all really nice, but I have to go work brunch in an hour.
00:32:54What?
00:32:55Cancel.
00:32:56We can stay in bed all day.
00:32:58I got food brought up to us.
00:32:59Look, you just got a promotion.
00:33:00You don't need to be working back over there.
00:33:02Yeah, well, until I get my first paycheck, I'm not going to chance it.
00:33:06Fine.
00:33:08Do what you want.
00:33:14Let me know if you need anything else.
00:33:21Diana?
00:33:25So, you're the girl that's turned Freddie's career upside down.
00:33:32You're more stunning in person.
00:33:34I don't know about that.
00:33:36Don't sell yourself short.
00:33:38Success in Hollywood is all about branding.
00:33:41So, what's good here?
00:33:42Not much.
00:33:44So, why are you here, Diana?
00:33:45I know you're not here for the bottomless mimosas.
00:33:48You've got talent, and I need a development assistant.
00:33:51I already have a job.
00:33:53I work for Coleman, who works for me.
00:33:55I'm a silent partner in his business, but my family's money keeps the lights on.
00:34:00I didn't know that.
00:34:02I'm actually working on a project with Freddie right now.
00:34:05So, you just started fucking, which is a branding problem.
00:34:10For who?
00:34:11And how did you know that?
00:34:13It's a small town, and I have many sources.
00:34:16I do pay well.
00:34:17Charlotte, darling, welcome.
00:34:40Come in, come in.
00:34:41You wanted to talk about the new scripts?
00:34:43Oh, no.
00:34:44It's self-care Sunday.
00:34:45I need you to give me a foot massage.
00:34:47I'm sorry, what?
00:34:48You heard me.
00:34:49I've been on my feet all week, and I need to relax.
00:34:52Diana, I'm your assistant.
00:34:53I'm not a masseuse.
00:34:54Let's get one thing straight.
00:34:56If you want to keep this job and have any chance at all of making it in this industry,
00:35:00you'll do as I say.
00:35:01That's a good girl.
00:35:23Oh, no, that is it.
00:35:25Charlotte, she cannot keep treating you like this.
00:35:28You need to tell Freddy, and then teach this witch a lesson.
00:35:32No, Sam, that's exactly what she wants me to do.
00:35:34I need to prove I can make it on my own.
00:35:36Well, how much more can you take?
00:35:38As much as I need to.
00:35:40This is my dream.
00:35:41I'm not giving up on it.
00:35:42Hey, Mom, what's up?
00:35:59Charlotte, honey, I'm afraid I have some bad news.
00:36:03Your father's medication prices have gone up again,
00:36:06and we're struggling to keep up with the debt.
00:36:08I'm sorry, Mom.
00:36:09I wish I could help more, but things are a little tough right now,
00:36:13but I'm not giving up.
00:36:27I can do this.
00:36:29I have to do this.
00:36:31What's all this?
00:36:41I just wanted to celebrate your recent victories,
00:36:44so I thought I'd do something special for you for all your hard work.
00:36:47Are you serious?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:01Root Beer Floats.
00:37:02Your hometown favorite.
00:37:04My parents used to get me one of these after every soccer game,
00:37:06whether we won or lost.
00:37:07Go and try it.
00:37:09I can.
00:37:10I'm on a special diet.
00:37:11Charlotte, I'm tired of hiding our love from the world.
00:37:18I'm tired of being chased by the paparazzi.
00:37:21I want to go public with our love.
00:37:23Are you sure?
00:37:23That's a big step.
00:37:25Yeah, I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life.
00:37:27Well, I'll support you no matter what.
00:37:29Miss Dunn, welcome.
00:37:47It is an honor to have you in our store.
00:37:49How may I assist you today?
00:37:51I need an outfit for the gala tonight,
00:37:53something that'll make me stand out.
00:37:54Of course.
00:37:56We have the latest collections from the top designers.
00:37:59I'm sure we'll find something perfect for you.
00:38:04Diana, look at this one.
00:38:06This would look stunning on you.
00:38:08Oh, sweetie.
00:38:10I don't think that dress is quite worthy of someone like Miss Dunn's stature.
00:38:16You're right.
00:38:17My assistant here doesn't quite understand the difference between high fashion and,
00:38:22well, whatever she's wearing.
00:38:29Oh, now this is a dress worthy of your presence, Miss Dunn.
00:38:35It's from our exclusive collection.
00:38:37I'll take it.
00:38:39Class cannot be taught.
00:38:41Oh, Charlotte, I'm just teasing.
00:38:49Here, let me buy you a dress to make it up to you.
00:38:54Go on, try it on.
00:38:55I insist.
00:39:05Well, well, well.
00:39:07Look at you, Charlotte.
00:39:09You clean up nicely.
00:39:10I guess that dress just doesn't work for you.
00:39:18You're better off in your ragged clothes.
00:39:20And you will have to pay damages, of course.
00:39:23I'm sure that dress is worth more than your monthly salary.
00:39:27Ciao, Bianca.
00:39:30Come on, Charlotte.
00:39:32The gallo awaits.
00:39:33Freddie, I'm so glad you can make it.
00:39:54Yeah, good evening, Diana.
00:39:55Well, well, if it isn't Little Miss Cinderella wearing a dress made of rags.
00:40:09Actually, this is the same gown from earlier, just with some alterations.
00:40:12You can't just, this is a black tie event, not a costume party.
00:40:17Well, I believe true style comes from within, not a designer label.
00:40:22Just remember, Charlotte, you still work for me.
00:40:25You're lucky I don't fire you, Charlotte.
00:40:28I think it's time for you to leave, Diana.
00:40:31But I...
00:40:32Freddie.
00:40:32Freddie.
00:40:34Goodbye, Diana.
00:40:42You look absolutely beautiful.
00:40:46We need an answer before the press conference starts.
00:40:49We're willing to offer a substantial investment.
00:40:52Just say the word.
00:40:54Freddie, say the word.
00:40:55He isn't the man of the hour, huh?
00:40:59Freddie Jones.
00:41:00That's the best key.
00:41:03I'm the one who's gonna invest in a little film, pretty boy.
00:41:07Whether you like it or not.
00:41:10And who might this lovely lady be?
00:41:17Arm candy for the night, no doubt.
00:41:21Watch your mouth, Zebeski.
00:41:23Ah, he's got a temper.
00:41:27What are you gonna do about it, pretty boy?
00:41:30Listen, Zebeski.
00:41:33You're not gonna invest in my film.
00:41:35Or disrespect my girl again.
00:41:37Do you understand?
00:41:38Ah!
00:41:41Freddie, walk away.
00:41:43Quite a scene you caused earlier, Zebeski.
00:41:56What do you want, Diana?
00:41:57I know.
00:41:58I couldn't help but overhear your little altercation with Freddie.
00:42:02Seems like we both have something to gain by taking him down a peck or two.
00:42:07I'm listening.
00:42:08It's simple.
00:42:09You want money and a taste of that pretty little assistant of his.
00:42:13I want Freddie.
00:42:15And I think I know a way where we can both get what we desire.
00:42:19I like the way you think, Diana.
00:42:23What do you have in mind?
00:42:25We hold a press conference.
00:42:26And when Freddie's distracted, I'll announce our new film together, cementing me at his side.
00:42:31I love it.
00:42:31When do we start?
00:42:35Leave it to me, Zebeski.
00:42:37You just play your part when the time comes.
00:42:46Freddie.
00:42:48On the gala, I saw something.
00:42:51Your teeth, they weren't normal.
00:42:55And the way you fought, Zebeski.
00:42:57What's going on?
00:42:58I'll tell you, Charlotte.
00:43:03Only because we're brought in by blood.
00:43:05What the hell does that mean?
00:43:06It means I'm a vampire.
00:43:16You know, when I was a little girl, I always dreamed of becoming a vampire.
00:43:19The magic, the mystery of it all.
00:43:25Life became nothing but work and pills.
00:43:29The thing about magic, Charlotte?
00:43:33So you just gotta know where to look.
00:43:44The magic still there, Charlotte?
00:43:46You just gotta know where to look.
00:43:48And I've missed you, baby, by my side.
00:43:53Where are you now?
00:43:57Baby.
00:43:59Did you hear me mean to say goodbye?
00:44:05Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:44:10I can't think I'm one of the reasons why.
00:44:14I need to know.
00:44:18I need to know.
00:44:23Hey, Charlotte.
00:44:25I'm meaning to talk to you about being Diana's assistant.
00:44:29Look, I honestly don't like the way she's been mistreating you, and I don't want you working for her anymore.
00:44:34And I've been thinking, if you need help financially or otherwise, I got you.
00:44:43You can't take that.
00:44:44Oh, I don't, I don't want to rely on you.
00:44:48But I insist you take it.
00:44:51I would feel a whole lot better.
00:44:53Please.
00:44:54Fine.
00:44:55But just for emergencies.
00:44:56It's Diana.
00:45:08She's been blowing up my phone all night.
00:45:13Just ignore it.
00:45:23Diana.
00:45:23Diana.
00:45:23Diana.
00:45:26You know she's not going to stop calling.
00:45:34Just answer it.
00:45:37Diana.
00:45:38What do you want?
00:45:40You're with Freddie, aren't you?
00:45:42It's none of your business.
00:45:43Actually, business is why I'm calling.
00:45:47I have a proposition for the both of you.
00:45:49So we can be done with all of this nonsense.
00:45:52We're here to settle things like you said.
00:46:05No more games.
00:46:06I already told her about us.
00:46:07So you can't hang that over my head.
00:46:09Splendid.
00:46:10I hate secrets between friends.
00:46:13On that note, this was going to be a surprise, but...
00:46:16Pam?
00:46:19You goddamn bitch.
00:46:26Oh my god.
00:46:27I can't believe my daughter's dating people's sexiest man alive.
00:46:32Two years ago, but charmed.
00:46:34With how hard Charlotte's been working, I thought this would be a nice treat.
00:46:39It was so nice of you to fly me here.
00:46:41Why didn't you tell me your boss is so generous?
00:46:44Diana's very humble, and she doesn't like people talking about her generosity.
00:46:49What are you doing?
00:46:50I just wanted to show you the gold-digging trash you've been in bed with.
00:46:54Watch this.
00:46:57Pam's been telling me a lot about life in the country, and how hard it's been.
00:47:01Yes, that's true.
00:47:04With your dad's back surgery he needs, and the black mold in the house,
00:47:08they might have to sell, and it breaks my heart.
00:47:10That's none of your concern, Diana.
00:47:12But it could be.
00:47:13What if I wrote your mother a check for two million dollars?
00:47:17In exchange for what?
00:47:20You, and Freddie alone.
00:47:23Forever.
00:47:26Two million dollars?
00:47:28Would that cover it, Mom?
00:47:29Oh, yeah.
00:47:32I guess it would.
00:47:36We don't want your money, Diana.
00:47:38And I won't be bullied out of ending my relationship, not by you, not by anyone.
00:47:44Well, then there's nothing left to consider.
00:47:47Your happiness is all that matters, sweetheart.
00:47:50I'm sorry, but we don't need your money.
00:47:54Not if it be sacrificing my daughter's heart.
00:47:56You're making a mistake, both of you.
00:48:01But if that's how you want to play it, fine.
00:48:03Just know that I do have a plan B.
00:48:06And trust me, you're not going to like it.
00:48:10You're done here, Diana.
00:48:11As far as your plan B, we'll handle that together.
00:48:14Come on, ladies.
00:48:17Let's go.
00:48:24This isn't over.
00:48:25Not by a long shot.
00:48:27All right, you two.
00:48:33So let's review.
00:48:35Diana, you're going to go out first.
00:48:36People are going to be super excited to see you.
00:48:38And then you're going to introduce Freddie.
00:48:39Freddie, they're going to be equally excited to see you.
00:48:42Then the two of you will talk about the movie.
00:48:44And then you'll take questions from the journalists.
00:48:46Sound good?
00:48:47Sounds great.
00:48:48Fantastic.
00:48:49Oh, they're ready to go.
00:48:50We've got to get out there.
00:48:51Otherwise, we're going to keep them waiting.
00:48:52And we do not want to do that.
00:48:53They look perfect.
00:48:54Great job.
00:48:55Come on, you two.
00:48:55Let's go.
00:48:56No, no, you look perfect.
00:48:57You don't need to check yourself.
00:48:57Let's go.
00:49:10It isn't a pretty little assistant.
00:49:16What are you doing?
00:49:18Thinking about your blood, Charlotte.
00:49:22About the way it tastes.
00:49:23The way it must feel, flowing down.
00:49:28My nose.
00:49:29Stay away from me.
00:49:30I'm warning you.
00:49:31Or what?
00:49:32You're warning me.
00:49:33What are you going to do, sweetheart?
00:49:35Go for help.
00:49:36I think your blood will be the sweetest I've tasted in years.
00:50:01And I'm going to save her every last drop.
00:50:09Freddy.
00:50:11Come on, Freddy.
00:50:13Charlie.
00:50:16What?
00:50:17What?
00:50:18I'm going to save her every last drop.
00:50:24Ah.
00:50:26Get out of here, son.
00:50:26Freddy.
00:50:28Freddy.
00:50:35I see you around my girl again, Zabeski.
00:50:38I'll rip out your fucking throat.
00:50:45Charlotte.
00:50:48Are you OK?
00:50:50You came back.
00:50:51I'll always come back for you, Charlotte.
00:51:02I'm sorry, everyone.
00:51:04I'm not sure what's keeping Freddy.
00:51:06Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:51:15You guys are some kind.
00:51:16Sorry I'm late.
00:51:16You all know how I like to make a very dramatic entrance.
00:51:20There are two things I would like to talk about.
00:51:23First one is, I'm really proud of this film that Diane and I have made.
00:51:27Me too, Freddy.
00:51:28I think it is a great project for us to end on and go off on our own.
00:51:33Two, I would really like to introduce you all to something very special to me.
00:51:38She's the one of the bravest, smartest, most beautiful women in this town.
00:51:44My new career advisor and future, Ms. Freddie Jones.
00:51:48Ms. Charlotte Sims, everybody.
00:51:49I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about the announcement.
00:52:03It's OK.
00:52:05Just from now on, no more secrets.
00:52:07We're going to face the challenges together.
00:52:10I love you, Charlotte.
00:52:11I love you, too.
00:52:13I do want to ask you one thing, though.
00:52:15Yeah, anything.
00:52:16Could you ask for my father's blessing?
00:52:18It's a tradition in my family.
00:52:20It would mean the world to me.
00:52:23I would be honored to ask your father for his blessing to marry you.
00:52:25But remember, you don't have to tell him everything.
00:52:28OK.
00:52:28Come here.
00:52:40Alexander?
00:52:41Zelda?
00:52:41I need to speak with you now.
00:52:48Diana, what brings you here in such a state?
00:52:56It's Freddie.
00:52:58Your son has gone too far this time.
00:53:00He's announced his engagement to a human.
00:53:03At a press conference, no less.
00:53:05A human?
00:53:07Are you certain?
00:53:08Yes.
00:53:09Some nobody named Charlotte Sims.
00:53:11He's putting our entire order at risk by telling all of our secrets to her.
00:53:17This cannot be allowed to continue.
00:53:19The secrecy of our kind is of the utmost importance.
00:53:23I couldn't agree more, Zelda.
00:53:25That's why I came to you.
00:53:26I worry about Freddie and I fear that he's not thinking clearly.
00:53:30What do we really know about this Charlotte girl?
00:53:33She could be a threat to our whole way of life.
00:53:35We cannot take any risks.
00:53:40We'll handle this matter personally.
00:53:43You have our work.
00:53:52So we thought we'd come in on Friday and stay the weekend.
00:53:55Oh, we probably need bodyguards.
00:53:57The whole town has gone crazy since you two went public.
00:54:00We felt like celebrities at Walmart today.
00:54:03But I don't know, why would a movie star want to come all the way to Whitewater, Minnesota?
00:54:07Well, I just want to see where Charlotte grew up.
00:54:09And honestly, I want to come and meet you, sir.
00:54:11Plus, we have some news.
00:54:12I knew it!
00:54:14I knew it!
00:54:15Freddie, you're going to get you the most beautiful, most expensive wedding dress ever, aren't you?
00:54:19Oh, yeah, you bet.
00:54:20No, you're not.
00:54:21Mom, you've been saving your wedding dress for 25 years so I could wear it.
00:54:25Well, it has a tear, remember?
00:54:27I mean, it's going to look like an old sackcloth compared to what Freddie can get you.
00:54:30Well, I'm not getting married in anything else, so if you don't want me wearing my birthday suit at my wedding, you better mend it.
00:54:37All right.
00:54:38All right.
00:54:38Love you.
00:54:39Bye.
00:54:40Bye.
00:54:53Something's wrong.
00:54:54I've been trying to get my parents since yesterday and they haven't answered their phones.
00:54:58Okay, I'm sure everything's fine, Charlotte.
00:54:59It's not like my mom to not answer.
00:55:01Look, your mom is just super excited about us coming to visit.
00:55:05I'm sure she's just caught up on all the preparations.
00:55:07Maybe you're right, but I have a really bad feeling.
00:55:10Okay.
00:55:11All right, well, I can call a pilot and we can head over there right now and check.
00:55:16Let's go.
00:55:23Mom?
00:55:23Dad, is anyone here?
00:55:31This is where they said to meet them.
00:55:37Freddie, I think something's happened to them.
00:55:39Charlotte, don't worry.
00:55:40We'll find them, okay?
00:55:42I promise.
00:55:43Thank you for joining us on such short notice.
00:55:53Oh, well, we've never been to the West Coast before, so we don't mind the change of plans.
00:55:58And we just assume come out here, then have Freddie visits us there.
00:56:01My phone can't get service.
00:56:04I was hoping to tell Charlotte where we are.
00:56:06We're in a dead zone.
00:56:09They'll be joining us shortly.
00:56:10In the meantime, we wanted the chance to get to know you.
00:56:15Our son's welfare is of the utmost importance to us.
00:56:19And so we'd like to know what sort of stock he is associating with.
00:56:25We have the same concern about Charlotte.
00:56:28Yeah, we don't know much about these powerful Hollywood types.
00:56:31But what we do know, it's not very wholesome.
00:56:34Like sex slaves and...
00:56:36Clones.
00:56:36Yeah, clones.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:38We don't have slaves.
00:56:41Or clones.
00:56:43But there are many reasons why Charlotte and Freddie's union could be complicated.
00:56:48Challenging.
00:56:50Even dangerous.
00:56:52Dangerous?
00:56:54The truth is we brought you here to ask you some very important questions.
00:57:00Please follow us to the parlor.
00:57:02All right.
00:57:10I've got private investigators here and in Minnesota.
00:57:15And I've called in favors with anyone we know in law enforcement.
00:57:18Charlotte.
00:57:19We're gonna find them.
00:57:21Promise.
00:57:21Are you okay?
00:57:24I'm hanging in there.
00:57:27Look, I'm gonna go.
00:57:28But I'll be back soon.
00:57:29Where are you going?
00:57:30I'll go talk to somebody who might know what the hell is going on.
00:57:33I'll be back.
00:57:37I'll be back.
00:57:51Where are they?
00:57:52I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:54Charlotte's parents are missing.
00:57:55Oh, heavens.
00:57:57Hopefully they didn't get lost remembering which trailer's theirs.
00:58:00Okay, Diana.
00:58:00Tell me where they are.
00:58:02I'm gonna rip you in half.
00:58:06Call me.
00:58:07Charlotte's parents turned up on a security camera at LAX.
00:58:10They're not with Diana.
00:58:14Okay, well, where are they now?
00:58:15They're with your parents.
00:58:17Why the hell are they with them?
00:58:19You told the human our secrets.
00:58:21They're tying up your loose ends.
00:58:23That's so good.
00:58:41Oh!
00:58:42Hi.
00:58:44You're okay?
00:58:46Okay?
00:58:47We're better than okay.
00:58:48We're having a great time.
00:58:49What took you so long?
00:58:52Mom.
00:58:52Dad.
00:58:53What are they doing here?
00:58:55You let the cat out of the bag.
00:58:57We had to vet Charlotte, make sure she was all right.
00:59:00We were going to share our darkest secrets with her.
00:59:03Not to mention our only son.
00:59:05Okay.
00:59:07And?
00:59:08Charlotte is a lovely young woman.
00:59:12A good student, a hard worker.
00:59:15You picked a good one.
00:59:17And her parents are fun.
00:59:18Who are they?
00:59:21Who knew thousand-year-old
00:59:22Seven-year-old vampires and Midwesterners had a lot in common.
00:59:25Both kind of slow to change.
00:59:27We went to the barn.
00:59:28It was unlocked.
00:59:29No one was there.
00:59:30Ted, did you forget to fix the deadbolt again?
00:59:33Uh, yeah, I meant to, but, you know, with everything going on, I think I must have forgot.
00:59:39Alexander is the same way.
00:59:41Completely useless around the house.
00:59:43But I am good with toasts.
00:59:47Here's to a beautiful journey.
00:59:49No road is long when you have good company.
00:59:53To the happy couple.
00:59:54Cheers.
00:59:55Cheers.
00:59:56Cheers.
00:59:56Cheers.
00:59:56Cheers.
00:59:57Cheers.
01:00:01By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:00:14Congratulations. I guess the best woman won.
01:00:34So I don't have to worry about you anymore?
01:00:36No. I've moved on.
01:00:39Are you serious?
01:00:41Yeah. She's crazy.
01:00:42But she knows the business.
01:00:45And she gets me.
01:00:47Good luck with that, brother.
01:00:48I've known you for 200 years.
01:00:50Charlotte, good luck with that.
01:00:53Hi, Charlotte.
01:00:54I just have one question.
01:01:02What is it?
01:01:04Is she going to drink milk?
01:01:07No.
01:01:09No, I'm just kidding.
01:01:10I guess she is.
01:01:14I'm just kidding.
01:01:15I'm just kidding.
01:01:15I'm just kidding.
01:01:16I'm just kidding.
01:01:16I'm just kidding.
01:01:17I'm just kidding.
01:01:17I'm just kidding.
01:01:18I'm just kidding.
01:01:18I'm just kidding.
01:01:19I'm just kidding.
01:01:19I'm just kidding.
