00:05I'm sorry.
00:06Sorry.
00:08Yeah.
00:12Good morning, sir.
00:14My name is Emily Carter, and I'm...
00:16Late for the shoot.
00:18Can you take off your clothes?
00:22Excuse me?
00:23My job here is to give direction.
00:26So, I'm going to ask you again.
00:28Can you take off your clothes?
00:30Yeah, I'm not here to act, so...
00:33Then what are you doing in my office?
00:34I came for the assistant producer position.
00:38My studio, everyone here is exposed.
00:41It doesn't matter if you're an actor, actress, or part of the crew.
00:45Everyone here is obedient.
00:47Everyone here is loyal.
00:48They listen.
00:48It's because I have full control.
00:52Now, that's the reality, Miss Carter.
00:54If you don't like that, there's the door.
01:00Can I take it away?
01:02Yes.
01:03I'm sorry.
01:04Yeah, asshole.
01:08Ow.
01:14Hello, Miss Carter.
01:15I'm calling you to remind you about the $120,000 deposit for your father's surgery.
01:20If it isn't paid by the end of the month, our policy requires us to transfer him to a different
01:24clinic.
01:25Okay.
01:27I'm on it.
01:33Okay.
01:43Prove to me why you deserve to work here.
02:07Miss Carter, if you took that literally, then you're already missing the point.
02:13You see, in this business, it's about how you react in the moment and how farce you're going
02:18to address from it.
02:22We can never see the...
02:23I don't want to do it.
02:25No, no, no, no.
02:25We have to get this line.
02:27Like, maybe...
02:29Sorry, but this line, it doesn't make any sense.
02:31Okay?
02:32So change it.
02:32Give someone to change it and make it better.
02:34Okay.
02:35Maybe, maybe...
02:36I think that's it.
02:44I can fix it.
02:48Yeah.
02:49Thanks.
02:50Okay, so what if she's not angry, but she's scared of losing control?
02:58So, so you could try it like, um, you think you hold all the power?
03:12You don't even see me.
03:16You just see things that you can control.
03:28Sasha?
03:29Yeah?
03:31Let's go again.
03:33This time, let's do it her way.
03:37Got it.
03:38Okay, yeah, we can definitely do it her way, like, whatever it says.
03:41Let's, let's do it.
03:44Everyone, meet my new assistant producer, Emily Carter.
03:51You just put yourself a bigger problem.
03:55Now, I have to trust you.
03:58All right, everyone, let's go again.
03:59You're fired.
04:00Damn it!
04:08I didn't think you could.
04:10You managed to impress me.
04:13Here is the contract for your new job.
04:18But before you sign this, remember, you're not just going to be my assistant, but whatever
04:25I want you to be.
04:33Nothing good ever came from playing it safe.
04:37Remember that, Miss Carter.
05:01Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
05:04It's fine.
05:04It's fine.
05:05I know it's not.
05:06You look terrible.
05:08I mean, oh, there's a toilet down the corridor.
05:10Let's go, let's go.
05:11Wait.
05:12I am so sorry.
05:13I'm Chloe, by the way.
05:15I'm Emily.
05:16And from tomorrow, Julian's new assistant producer.
05:22Oh, Julian Hartwell himself.
05:25Well, it's nice to have a new face around here, you know, since Hartwell's Great Depression
05:30and all.
05:32Hartwell's what?
05:34Have you been under a rock?
05:37Julian Hartwell has been accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend and her old former lead actress,
05:45Celeste Monroe.
05:46All right.
06:09Jesus.
06:10Relax.
06:12I'm your stepsister.
06:13Not your next scandal.
06:16I just brought your tux by so that you can charm our two biggest investors with your
06:21everything's fine speech.
06:23Never heard of knocking.
06:24You think I'm going to waste my time knocking when Hartwell Pictures is bleeding out?
06:29Not a chance.
06:31Persephone Rising is the only film keeping our investors breathing.
06:36Yes.
06:37I'm aware.
06:38So maybe stop distracting yourself with your new little discovery?
06:45She's efficient.
06:47Efficient doesn't save legacies.
06:50And she does look a bit like Celeste.
06:55The reason the studio almost died.
06:59Don't make the same mistake twice, Julian.
07:03We can't survive another ghost.
07:11Oh, shit.
07:13Well, I guess this is our cute meet.
07:20David Freeman, Aurora Films.
07:24We share one wall and a few stolen camera crews.
07:26Yeah, wow.
07:27You produced the film Apocalypse Later, the one everyone said was impossible to finish.
07:32The one that won four awards and ruined my sleep schedule.
07:35Well, I'm thrilled that you know about us, though.
07:39I am indeed more interested in you.
07:43Me?
07:44You tell me.
07:46A random girl walks into a live set, calms a meltdown, saves the date, and becomes the
07:50studio head's assistant on this pod.
07:53Yeah, I wouldn't say that was saving the day.
07:55I just fixed a line.
07:57Well, I definitely need more line fixers like you.
07:59Um, come work for us.
08:03Emily?
08:04Mr. Hartwell needs you in his office.
08:11Emily, I don't think you've properly met.
08:13This is Veronica Hartwell, vice president of production, and my sister.
08:19We've had information leaked outside this building, and you've been seen talking with David Freeman.
08:26Uh, he was just talking to me outside, but I wasn't, uh...
08:30Wasn't what?
08:31Exchanging trade secrets?
08:33Let's not pretend you don't know just what you're doing.
08:36Okay, okay, Veronica.
08:38Um, I'd like to speak with Emily, privately.
08:43Careful, Emily.
08:45You're beginning to sound like Celeste.
08:48Before everything fell apart.
08:55Emily.
08:57Tonight, I have a meeting with some investors who believe that I'm still haunted by my past,
09:04and I need them to see that I've moved on.
09:08So I'm going to cut to the chase.
09:12Tonight, I need you to be my girlfriend.
09:20You are about to get the full Chloe glow makeover.
09:26You ready?
09:29So, um, is this, like, a date you're going for tonight?
09:34Um, no, no, no, no, no.
09:35Um, we are just meeting some investors.
09:38Okay.
09:40And now, try this on.
09:42Uh, try it on.
09:52Don't we have somewhere to be, sir?
09:57Come on.
10:06Have you already thought of me in this cut?
10:16I remember hearing about that.
10:17Ah, Hardwell.
10:18We're beginning to think you had forgotten us, dear boy.
10:21Of course, now, gentlemen.
10:22A deal like this one is worth remembering.
10:24And who is this studying young lady?
10:27Let's just say she's here because I want her to be here.
10:31Hmm.
10:31Well, I must say, Hardwell, you do have a good eye for talent in more ways than one, I'm sure,
10:37eh?
10:42I have to take this.
10:44Excuse me.
10:48Well, darling, no need to act shy.
10:52I am glad Julian found a new and, well, I must say, perfect fit for the part.
11:01I'd be more than happy to measure you right up.
11:06I'd be more than happy to...
11:09I'd be more than happy to measure you right up.
11:12Excuse me?
11:15Don't you ever touch me again.
11:21What's going on?
11:24Your bitch just cost you a five million dollar deal.
11:30What did you just say?
11:33Your bitch!
11:39If you can't respect a woman,
11:42you won't be doing business with me.
11:45You just lost the best deal of your life, Hardwell.
11:48All because of some random woman.
11:51Let's see if your studio survives this.
11:59I'm sorry.
12:01I feel like you lost a deal because of me.
12:05You really think that deal was going to close?
12:09No, they were looking for a way out.
12:11Men, like them.
12:14They don't come to negotiate.
12:15They come to test you.
12:18And I don't fall for bullshit.
12:25For standing up for me.
12:35Well, I guess that's my cue to go home.
12:39It's getting late.
12:41I said that you were going to be my girlfriend for the night.
12:46And the night isn't over yet.
12:55You really didn't have to punch him.
12:58No, I did.
13:05Being your date for the night turned out a lot wilder than I imagined.
13:10Well, thank you for stopping me from making friends with the wrong people.
13:19Well, maybe I should thank you properly.
13:30Oh, my God.
13:31Oh, my God.
13:31Okay.
13:31I'm so sorry.
13:33I just, I didn't mean to.
13:34I just, uh...
13:35Relax, Miss Carter.
13:37You're not my type.
13:39Stay put.
13:41I'll go change.
13:42I'll go change.
14:12Don't lose.
14:25Fuck.
14:28Fuck.
14:31Fuck.
14:32Fuck.
14:32Fuck.
14:34Fuck.
14:45Miss Carter, your father's condition is deteriorating worse than we thought it was going to.
14:51If we don't operate within 72 hours, he's not going to make it.
14:55We need the deposit, and all of it, in full before we can proceed.
15:04I'm sorry. We've done everything we can without it.
15:23Emily, I need you in the studio now.
15:25Sir, I, um...
15:27Don't explain. Just get here, and Emily, make sure you look like you belong in my office.
15:39You're late.
15:40I spoke with Julian. He called me, and...
15:43Yeah, I know what he said.
15:45I also know the rumor mill's been having a field day with the two of you.
15:56Look, whatever you think is happening, it's not...
15:59I don't care who he sleeps with.
16:03But let me make one thing clear.
16:06If you do anything to jeopardize the studio or my stepbrother, I will end you faster than a bad opening
16:16weekend.
16:17You got it?
16:19Don't mind my sister, Miss Carter.
16:21She's allergic to subtlety and boundaries, and to you, apparently.
16:26And apparently you're allergic to privacy.
16:33Chloe told me that you were at the hospital.
16:37Your father, because you're not well.
16:42Take this.
16:43This is three months' salary.
16:45Pay for whatever your father needs.
16:54I...
16:57Oh, my God.
16:58Thank you so much.
16:59Oh, okay.
17:00That's...
17:00That's enough for you.
17:01Sorry.
17:01Yeah, I just...
17:03It's fine.
17:04Good.
17:05Now that we're friends again, we've got work to do.
17:07Don't forget, go to the costume room.
17:10There's a dress for you for tonight for the Silver Frame Gala.
17:14You still want me to come with all the rumors flying down there?
17:17Especially because of the rumors.
17:20So you want me to act as your girlfriend?
17:25It's time to prepare for the performance of your life.
17:49Hi, excuse me, sorry.
17:50Oh, hi.
17:51I love your work so much.
17:53So the rumors are true.
17:56Hardwool's golden boy has found himself new.
17:59Muse.
18:01If you're talking about Julian, it's just gossip.
18:06You know, Julian Hardwool's made a career out of convincing people to do things they swore they wouldn't.
18:14I thought he might convince you, too.
18:19I wouldn't believe everything you hear.
18:22Then prove it.
18:24Dance with me.
18:32Sure he has a partner, David.
18:35Emily?
18:38I should probably dance with our guest.
18:46Of course.
19:04You look like a man who needs saving.
19:07From a bad PR stunt, but mostly himself.
19:11Well, that depends what you're volunteering for, Miss Garrett.
19:15Both, as always.
19:21Would you care to dance, Miss Garrett?
19:38I mean, I know you're using me as a distraction, but you could at least pretend you're enjoying yourself.
19:56I guess we had our first dance in
19:58I'm sorry to interrupt
20:01Rumor has it
20:02I should be the one on your arm tonight
20:04You know, wouldn't want to disappoint
20:06Mr. Cole
20:08Sure, yeah
20:09PR commitments, of course, yeah
20:14Well, that was reckless
20:16Yeah, well, so is pretending
20:19We're just giving them what they want
20:24Mr. Freeman
20:27I have some news that might be of interest to you
20:31Let's just say
20:32You're not the only one who wants to see Hartwell fall
20:43Julian's lost his focus
20:45That new girl
20:46Emily Carter
20:48She's his soft spot now
20:51Well, that didn't take long
20:53She gets under his skin and he doesn't even see it
20:56It's the perfect weakness
20:59If you know how to use her
21:01And I'm guessing you do
21:03Persephone Rising is still shooting
21:07The pressure is killing him
21:10Things haven't gone this well in years
21:12If it succeeds, Hartwell's back
21:15Well, make sure it doesn't
21:18If he wins, I lose
21:22And I always win
21:24Well, maybe it's time to bring Celeste back
21:30Julian
21:32We need to talk
21:41Well
21:42You really do know how to put on a show
21:44Don't you?
21:46Adrian Cole hasn't stopped smiling
21:48Since the two of you started dancing
21:49What do you want, Veronica?
21:51A favor
21:53For the studio
21:56Use her
21:58She's just the type of fresh face
22:00That our investors drool over
22:01Cast her as Persephone
22:04It'll keep Cole close
22:05And secure funding for the next quarter
22:08We don't use people, Veronica
22:11We build empires, Julian
22:12That's never been clean work
22:14The cost stays the same
22:16Emily is not for sale
22:18Fine
22:20You keep your little muse for now
22:22But when she starts costing you
22:24She's mine to fix
22:37I've got to go
22:55I've got to go
22:55You got the same message?
22:58Yeah, help
22:59I'm stuck
22:59I thought it was from you
23:00It wasn't
23:08It's locked
23:14I'll go, Veronica
23:21Your call has been forwarded
23:23To an automatic voice message system
23:25At the
23:27Well
23:29At least our plan worked
23:32Mr. Cole couldn't stop staring at us
23:36He's practically ours
23:39Guess the rumor
23:40Finally paid off
23:44You do make one hell of a distraction
23:49And you
23:50Make one hell of a liar
24:05You do realize this is how all
24:08Bad decisions start, right?
24:12Too late
24:28Someone really ought to fix that lock
24:31We didn't lock it
24:32Someone trapped us in
24:34Of course they did
24:36Miss Garrett
24:37Please escort Miss Carter out
24:39Yep
24:49You keep making the same mistakes
24:52Twice
24:53You really can't go a day without dragging her into it, can you?
24:57I have no idea what you mean
24:59You throw Emily into Celeste's role
25:03You think she's bait
25:04Jesus, Veronica
25:05I don't think she's bait, Jules
25:08I know she is
25:10Cole's money is going to keep us alive for the next quarter
25:14Maybe even two
25:15And if it kills her?
25:18Then at least the studio died making something worth watching
25:22So you would rather gamble her life for a film?
25:27I'd gamble anything
25:28To keep the studio alive
25:31Even your conscience
25:33You're not keeping anything alive, Veronica
25:36You're watching it die
25:37Slower
25:38Whatever you want to call it
25:40Tomorrow, when the investors call
25:43Either you announce Emily as Persephone
25:46Or you watch this whole place collapse around you
25:57Oh my god
25:58Something happened, didn't it?
26:00No, no, nothing happened
26:02Well, look, Chloe
26:04I'm really sorry about the gala, okay?
26:08I don't know what came over me
26:09Relax
26:10It's fine
26:11I
26:12I'm just happy for you, okay?
26:15Just be careful
26:19What do you mean?
26:22Julian has this way of making you feel seen
26:25Like you're part of this grand secret
26:29That's the thing with secrets, Emily
26:31They always end the same
26:34Celeste didn't just die in the studio
26:38It wasn't just an accident
26:41Everyone knows who was calling the shots that day
26:44And then when it didn't work out
26:47He didn't let anyone talk about it
26:50Miss Carter
26:52Follow me
27:01Come on
27:02I'll take you home
27:03No, it's fine
27:04I'll get a cab
27:05Emily
27:05I just need some space
27:07Space from what?
27:09From
27:10You
27:12Emily, just get in the car
27:13I don't feel safe with you right now
27:16You don't feel safe?
27:18I saved your father's life
27:19I gave you this job
27:20Everything I do is for you
27:23That doesn't mean that you own me
27:25You signed that contract
27:27What do you think that means?
27:28You're mine
27:39I don't mean that
27:43You think I'll actually hurt you?
27:48I've already lived through that
27:51Then just tell me the truth
28:01Okay, okay
28:10I promise
28:11If you get in this car
28:13I'll tell you everything about Celeste
28:26So, how's my Persephone tonight?
28:29It's strange
28:30The closer we get
28:31The more real she feels
28:32Look, I don't want you to do your own stunts
28:35Oh, it's just a prop
28:36It's not just a prop
28:38Celeste
28:39I've seen how these prop guns work
28:42Quite often they don't work
28:44Julian, you're scaring me
28:46Good
28:48Good
28:50At least then
28:52You can take these things seriously, Celeste
28:56Please take this seriously, Celeste
28:59That was the last thing I ever said to her
29:02Alright everyone
29:03This is the final take
29:04Let's make it count
29:06And action
29:06I can't believe I let her do it
29:09Go ahead
29:10Pull the trigger
29:12Let's see if gods bleed
29:29It's a real gun
29:39I guess you didn't get to say cut this time
29:42The studio claimed that it was an accident
29:45But I'm still the one
29:47That approved it
29:52I can't imagine
29:54How that must have been for you
29:56You know, I
29:57Should have believed you sooner
29:59But
30:01You make it so difficult
30:06But Veronica
30:09Wants you to play Persephone
30:10Wait, what?
30:12Seriously?
30:13I've said no
30:14I'm not going through that again
30:16Not with you
30:18Well
30:19I've always wanted to act
30:22And I think this time
30:26Will be different
30:55I've always wanted to act
31:09They're getting too close
31:11This is inconceivable
31:12It's unprofessional
31:14It's
31:14It's human
31:15Don't
31:16Don't worry
31:17It won't last
31:18This time is different
31:20Have you even seen them together?
31:22Relax
31:23Emily
31:24Is going to play
31:26Persephone
31:27Yeah
31:29As if Julian's going to allow that
31:31He will
31:32He's too
31:33Protective
31:35Too
31:35Emotional
31:36That's exactly what we need
31:40When the pressure hits
31:42And it will hit
31:43One of them
31:44Will break
31:46Okay
31:47Even if that does work
31:50Then what?
31:52Then
31:53We leak it
31:54And let the press feed
31:56Just in time for the 20th anniversary gala
32:00I remember
32:01Slack
32:01That's it
32:06I remember
32:09I remember
32:16It's not
32:18It's not
32:25It's not
32:28The
32:30What is it?
32:32A video of us kissing last night.
32:36It's everywhere.
32:38Right, you go freshen up.
32:40We've got work to do.
32:45Drive, drive, drive.
32:52Fuck, shit!
32:53Oh, my God.
32:54Our close car.
32:56Oh, my God, oh, my God.
32:58Fuck, shit!
33:03Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, please!
33:06Someone open the door!
33:09Fuck, hey, someone open the door!
33:12Look!
33:13Oh, my God, oh, my God, please!
33:19Oh, my God, oh, my God, please!
33:25Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's all right.
33:27It's all right.
33:28You're safe.
33:30Okay?
33:30Breathe.
33:32Slowly.
33:34Now.
33:36Breathe.
33:38Breathe.
33:45I can't believe that just happened.
33:47Yeah, well, welcome to the show, Mrs.
33:49Come on.
34:04Don't overthink it.
34:06We're not bad alike.
34:10It's just a little deja vu.
34:12That's all.
34:14That's all.
34:17That's all.
34:20Do you think it's worth the risk?
34:22Hmm.
34:24Someone once told me that nothing good ever came from playing it safe.
34:30Who was this person?
34:31He sounds handsome.
34:33Okay, good luck, everybody.
34:35Three, two, one, action.
34:38Well, go on, then.
34:40Pull the trigger.
34:42Let's see if God's bleed.
34:53Let's see if God's bleed.
35:00Get down!
35:01Emily!
35:05Emily!
35:15Oh, my gosh, Emily!
35:17Are you okay?
35:18I'm fine.
35:19It was so loud.
35:22We are shutting this place down until we find out who did this.
35:26We can't shut it down.
35:27Not now.
35:29Canceling the 20th anniversary screams weakness.
35:33Weakness?
35:34Someone compromised my set twice.
35:37Emily could have died.
35:38And if we crumble publicly, whoever did this wins.
35:43We stay standing.
35:45We show control.
35:48But what do I even tell people about the gala?
35:51We're not cancelling a thing.
35:54She has plenty of time to recover.
35:57You are unbelievable.
35:59Come on.
36:03There we go.
36:10It's really appreciated.
36:22You should have rested.
36:25Well, I wasn't going to miss this.
36:27You look incredible.
36:33So you must be the famous Emily my son keeps talking about.
36:37Oh, gosh, only good things, I hope.
36:40I assure you, only good things.
36:42I'm glad you found someone that brings colour back to the place, Julian.
36:48What?
36:50Serious?
36:51What?
36:54It's quite the elephant.
37:01The investigation's ongoing, and Hartwell Pictures has been infiltrated.
37:07Veronica, not now.
37:09Now is exactly the time, Father.
37:12We've had leaks, we've had fires, sabotage, and now another explosion.
37:20You all want answers?
37:22Well, so do I.
37:24The one question no one's been asking is how Emily Carter knew to jump before the blast.
37:35If someone inside Hartwell Pictures is feeding information to our competitors, I think we've found our lead.
37:41That's enough, Veronica.
37:43That's enough, Veronica.
37:43Wake up, Julian.
37:46You used to have instinct, and now, you just have a blind spot.
37:57Julia, you're not, you're not gonna believe what she's saying, right?
38:02I didn't know, okay?
38:04I swear.
38:04I mean, why, why would I risk my own life?
38:07Because there's nothing left to lose.
38:13I gave you everything.
38:18And you still wanted to destroy me.
38:22Please, Miss Carter, leave.
38:24I didn't do anything.
38:26This is ridiculous.
38:26Julian, I didn't betray you.
38:29Get off.
38:30I know who the real mole is.
38:46If Cole's money keeps us alive, he can have what he wants.
38:50Information, footage, whatever, keeps the studio afloat.
38:53Just make sure Julian never finds out.
38:58That was taken out of context.
39:01Context?
39:02I gave you everything, Veronica.
39:04Everything, except the title.
39:08If I was running the studio, we wouldn't be in this financial mess.
39:12But no, you had to give it to the hopeless romantic,
39:16who still thinks loyalty is a business plan.
39:19A good producer does whatever it takes to get the film done.
39:23And you chose to ruin your own brother.
39:26Step, brother.
39:28If you didn't plant the bombs, then who did?
39:31Who took Celeste?
39:45What did you all expect when you put the most broken girl in the room
39:50next to the most dangerous man in the industry?
39:55Jaws?
39:57You have a type, don't you?
40:00First, the thrill-seeking superstar.
40:06And now, the pretty little Angenot.
40:12Finally, the supporting actress gets to steal the spotlight.
40:16Okay, please, okay?
40:18You don't want to do this.
40:19Don't I?
40:23When do I get my happy ending?
40:26Chloe, put the gun down.
40:32If you have taught me anything about love, Julian,
40:38it's if you love someone,
40:40you have to be prepared to lose them.
41:07Oh, but the story was just getting good.
41:09It's if you don't come to love right now.
41:19We all have some fun details here.
41:22Everyone else has to be prepared.
41:23I don't
41:24know why. Cáis miejement
