00:00:00Welcome back, Eddie has Showbiz now.
00:00:02Good morning and welcome to Daily News.
00:00:05I'm your host Amanda.
00:00:07Our story today is about Ben Cooper,
00:00:09a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee
00:00:11who made a ripple in the acting industry
00:00:13after his performance in his recent movie Maximizer.
00:00:17His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million
00:00:20to over 100 million just over the span of two days,
00:00:24which is quite an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:00:35Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:00:39I don't know.
00:00:41I'm not sure if I can do this.
00:00:43What did I even do?
00:00:46Well, you're not going to be getting any supporting roles anymore.
00:00:50Why?
00:00:53Because you are going to be the lead.
00:00:57You will be the biggest star ever.
00:01:02Fasten your seatbelt then.
00:01:04It's time to fly.
00:01:11Everything just feels so unreal.
00:01:13That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:18What's with the fun?
00:01:24I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time.
00:01:29It's just best not to respond at all.
00:01:31Now I know what my old managers were doing before.
00:01:34All this.
00:01:35Tricks of the trade.
00:01:36But don't you worry.
00:01:37Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:41You are a superstar.
00:01:47Not a moment of peace.
00:01:49Hello?
00:01:59Send me that right now.
00:02:01What is it, Alan?
00:02:03You're scaring me.
00:02:10I think we're in trouble.
00:02:31Please pick up, please pick up.
00:02:33Hi.
00:02:34Hi.
00:02:34Um.
00:02:36Sorry.
00:02:36I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:41Yes.
00:02:42My name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:48There are no sauce left.
00:02:51Um.
00:02:52I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:58No, no, no, this isn't, this isn't fair.
00:03:00You need, you need to reconsider me.
00:03:01What?
00:03:02Hello?
00:03:06Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:03:10I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:16Please.
00:03:21I'm trying to tell you I failed, Mum.
00:03:24Well, I mean, I guess she's right I didn't give up too soon.
00:03:32I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:03:37You've got this, Blake.
00:03:41Hi, um, I want an appointment with Manager Alan.
00:03:47Yeah, I knew you would refuse.
00:03:49Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:55Screw you.
00:03:58I don't need your approval anyway.
00:04:03People just need gossip.
00:04:08Hello?
00:04:12This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:17I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his ruse.
00:04:22He's not in a relationship.
00:04:24Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:27No, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:04:30People are saying that he's...
00:04:33that he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:39I've got an important call.
00:04:40I'll call you back.
00:04:42Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:48What?
00:04:51What story?
00:04:52Send her it.
00:04:58Hey, what story?
00:04:59Who want?
00:05:02Well, uh, there's not really a story as such.
00:05:06I...
00:05:07It's as important as that.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:13Since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:17I just wanted to come here in person
00:05:20and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:25Okay.
00:05:26You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:29That's what people say when they don't get a job here.
00:05:31Okay, not getting a job is different.
00:05:33You guys are...
00:05:33You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:37Look, I've got a lot to deal with,
00:05:38so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:05:44Are you going to go,
00:05:45or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:50Okay.
00:05:51Look, um...
00:05:52I'm sorry, I just...
00:05:54I really need a job right now.
00:05:57This isn't a request, Santa.
00:05:59Please.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02Well, you know what?
00:06:04I hope karma bites you with...
00:06:08Sorry.
00:06:09Are you blind?
00:06:11Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:15Who is that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:26We need to focus on the people who do recognize you.
00:06:29Ben,
00:06:30I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:34I don't understand why these reporters
00:06:36enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:06:38It's how they make their money.
00:06:40Is it harmful for my image?
00:06:42Is it...
00:06:44No.
00:06:46You can date who you want to,
00:06:48but there's rumors.
00:06:49Like,
00:06:50it ruins your identity.
00:06:52Like, do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:55Obviously not.
00:06:57And I've been contacted by Thomas' manager.
00:06:59He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:01Just released a statement.
00:07:02Oh, gosh.
00:07:03I've been telling the reporters these rumors aren't true,
00:07:05but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:11What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:16Like what?
00:07:17What if I were to date a girl?
00:07:23That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:25Well, it would kill the boss.
00:07:27I don't know.
00:07:28It would put us on the right path
00:07:30to fix Thomas' image and my identity.
00:07:34Oh, my question is how.
00:07:40I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:57Everything sucks.
00:08:01You know what?
00:08:02I've decided
00:08:03I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:06Nope.
00:08:07Staying here
00:08:08for eternity
00:08:11is settled.
00:08:17I mean...
00:08:20I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:25but no one wants to go.
00:08:29I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:45I'm like,
00:08:47I'm so happy.
00:08:50I'm so happy.
00:08:53I don't know.
00:08:58I'm so happy.
00:09:03I think...
00:09:08Okay, I have to go back.
00:09:14This is so good.
00:09:34Nope.
00:09:36Nope.
00:09:38Absolutely not.
00:09:40Not answering.
00:09:42I'm with my skin clothes.
00:09:54What is it, Mum?
00:09:58Um, hi.
00:10:00Is this Blake?
00:10:02Yeah.
00:10:04Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:06I hope you remember me.
00:10:08You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:10:11Um, yeah, yeah, hi.
00:10:14Hello.
00:10:15Hi.
00:10:18Um...
00:10:18Can we meet?
00:10:20I have a job for you.
00:10:35I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:40Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:41Your idea.
00:10:43It's absurd.
00:10:44I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:45Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:47Well, everybody lies.
00:10:49People believe anything.
00:10:51Well, try this so you can't blame me for not saving your life.
00:10:56Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:10:59She won't go crazy.
00:11:00I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:02You sure?
00:11:03I'm sure.
00:11:08Send her in.
00:11:10I'm still not sure about this girl.
00:11:14Come in.
00:11:18Please, take a seat.
00:11:22Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:24Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:25Didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:28I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:32So...
00:11:33I got a job for you.
00:11:35Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:37Oh, sorry.
00:11:38It's not so much of a job.
00:11:41More of a favour.
00:11:48This is all, um...
00:11:52So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:56So you want me to fake date Ben for time being?
00:11:59Yeah. It's as simple as that.
00:12:03Okay, but...
00:12:04Who's Ben?
00:12:08How do you not know Ben?
00:12:10Like...
00:12:11You haven't seen his movies or dramas or anything like that?
00:12:17I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:20You know, whatever happens in showbiz, I don't know about.
00:12:22Yeah, but still, like...
00:12:24Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:30I am Ben.
00:12:33Will you do me this favour?
00:12:35Will you do me this favour?
00:12:41No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:55That was...
00:12:57That was...
00:12:59Ben.
00:13:00The...
00:13:00The Ben Cooper.
00:13:05I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:08Oh, my God!
00:13:09Oh, my God!
00:13:11Oh, my God!
00:13:11I'm so stupid not to recognise him!
00:13:15What the...
00:13:20I...
00:13:22I can't do it!
00:13:26I...
00:13:26I...
00:13:28I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:36I guess I've got to keep packing then.
00:13:42Um...
00:13:46I'm...
00:13:46Mmm...
00:13:47Mmm...
00:13:47That's so bad!
00:14:04Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:17Ew. Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:30Hey. You need to relax.
00:14:36I'm so jealous of you right now. I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:41And on top of that, you're asking me to relax? Are you crazy or what?
00:14:45I told you an excellent plan. Now it's your part to play. Just make it work.
00:14:50Yeah, fine. It was an amazing plan.
00:14:53Fine. It was a really good plan.
00:14:56But why are you so stubborn about this girl? Why can't I find you another one?
00:15:01A better one. One that's a better actor.
00:15:02No. It has to be this girl. I told you, if I'm doing this, she has to be my fake
00:15:07girlfriend.
00:15:09Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:12I agree. So convince her.
00:15:16Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl. And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever
00:15:21you want.
00:15:24Well, for starters, she's different. Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:29If we want to do this, right, it plays better if she's not obsessed with me. It makes it more
00:15:36believable.
00:15:48Yeah, I'm sorry. Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:52All right. I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:16:03Ben's stopping this girl is the next level.
00:16:09Please pick up Blake.
00:16:16You need a plan B.
00:16:17Hey. Who is it?
00:16:22It's me. Blake.
00:16:26Please come in.
00:16:32Take a seat.
00:16:34I hope we're alone in here.
00:16:35Oh, of course.
00:16:39I need to be back.
00:16:41Okay.
00:16:42I need a job, Alan.
00:16:44Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in the first place.
00:16:47No, no. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:52Look. Look, I'll... I'll do anything. Okay? But I can't do this.
00:16:58What will I tell my parents? That I'm, what, someone's fake girlfriend? That's not something I would want to tell
00:17:04them.
00:17:06Blake, it's what I said. It's not a job. It's more of a favour.
00:17:12Okay. Fine. Then I can't do it, then.
00:17:15Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:20I really wish I could help you, Alan. But...
00:17:24I can't. I'm really sorry.
00:17:27Blake, please! Come on!
00:17:34Why didn't you tell me she was here? You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her
00:17:38and you just let her go?
00:17:39Like, she didn't give me the chance. She just walked right out.
00:17:42And what is it with you, Ben? Like, I've never seen you this way before unless you really respect someone.
00:17:52Oh my god.
00:17:54Oh my god.
00:17:56Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:57No, no, I haven't. It's nothing like that. It's not.
00:18:01Then what? What is it with her?
00:18:02I just think that we need to disprove the rumours as soon as possible.
00:18:06So what? I should just call her right away?
00:18:08Yeah, call her.
00:18:09Ben.
00:18:10Look, Alan, I gave you a job. You failed. Okay? Just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:15Look, you've got to be kidding me!
00:18:17I've got a family dinner now. Text me her number. Okay?
00:18:21Now.
00:18:21Now.
00:18:59Hello?
00:19:03Look, I'm busy so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:06It's... it's Ben.
00:19:09Ben Cooper?
00:19:12Look, if you're busy then that's okay. I can call tomorrow.
00:19:15No!
00:19:16Um, I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:20Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:23That's okay, we haven't talked before, so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:27Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:19:30You still don't know who I am?
00:19:34Well, I think I'll cut to the chase. Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:38Um, I... I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:45I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:46If you can't come out to my place then maybe I can meet you at yours?
00:19:51No!
00:19:52No, I'll... I'll come.
00:19:56Great. I'll text you the address.
00:19:59See you tomorrow.
00:20:07Why don't you have a seat, make yourself comfortable.
00:20:09Thanks.
00:20:10Would you like a coffee?
00:20:11Uh, yeah, thank you.
00:20:16It's a strange video.
00:20:21Here you are.
00:20:31You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:20:34Well, it's my home.
00:20:36I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:40Your home.
00:20:41This is...
00:20:43This is your home.
00:20:44Is that a problem?
00:20:45No.
00:20:46No.
00:20:47I just, um...
00:20:49I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:51It's kind of...
00:20:53intimate.
00:20:54Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:20:59Um, so...
00:20:59What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:02I wanted to ask, why are you running away from me?
00:21:05I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:08Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:11Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:16You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:18I know.
00:21:19Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:23What if...
00:21:26I offered you a different role.
00:21:30As my secretary.
00:21:33That way you could have a respectable prefix added to your name,
00:21:37and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:41Um...
00:21:42Okay, well it's still not a job.
00:21:45I want a long-term job.
00:21:47You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:50I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:52How much do you need?
00:21:53Is it about money?
00:21:55No, it's not about money.
00:22:01What if I...
00:22:02offer to hire you full-time?
00:22:04Full-time secretary.
00:22:06Permanently.
00:22:07I'm sorry.
00:22:08I really don't understand.
00:22:12Why me?
00:22:15Because I just like you.
00:22:17I mean, for this role, I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:21Okay, but there are so many other people that you could pick from.
00:22:26There's something different about you.
00:22:30Look.
00:22:30I've offered you the role...
00:22:33with a part to play a little.
00:22:35Are you in?
00:22:41I'm in.
00:23:02I'm in.
00:23:05I don't have a relationship anymore.
00:23:06Okay?
00:23:07Just leave.
00:23:09I know.
00:23:12You don't need to pretend.
00:23:14You've been saving me time and time again.
00:23:15This is no different.
00:23:17Penny.
00:23:19I'm here, baby.
00:23:21Just get off.
00:23:22Okay?
00:23:22You need to get out.
00:23:29This is the contract.
00:23:32This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:36We will renew it, of course, so you don't have to worry.
00:23:50I'm sorry.
00:23:53You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:56Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:23:58No, no, not at all.
00:24:00I just...
00:24:02I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:06Okay, why do you even need a secretary when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:11Well, I mean, Alan looks after the whole agency.
00:24:15So it's a lot of work for him, and if we can bring someone on board to split up the
00:24:19workload, that'd be helpful.
00:24:23Look, it's my decision.
00:24:25Okay? And, Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:27No, I never said that.
00:24:32All right.
00:24:33Well, how about you sign the contract so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:51Welcome.
00:24:53You're hired.
00:24:55Thanks.
00:24:56I'll try my best for you.
00:25:05Relax.
00:25:06You look tense.
00:25:09Um, I could have thought my own food and drink, so you don't look up to.
00:25:13Don't be silly. I was buying things for myself, so I'm more than happy to buy you some things for
00:25:17me.
00:25:19Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:23Wrong idea about what?
00:25:25Well, it could easily be seen as that I'm just using my money to get to you, and I just
00:25:30want you to know it's not like that.
00:25:32I know.
00:25:37I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:41Seriously?
00:25:42Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:46It was tough, and all that happened before I met Alan.
00:25:52And once I met him, he is such a generous man, and he looked after me like his own partner.
00:25:57And now you've met him, too. So you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:03I...
00:26:05I've put a lot of hard work, and I've struggled through a lot in my career to get to where
00:26:10I am.
00:26:11And I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that because they have something out for me.
00:26:16So that's where you come in.
00:26:20I promise that I'll try my best, even if it asks for sacrifices.
00:26:26No, it shouldn't require any sacrifices.
00:26:29Your dedication is enough.
00:26:36Oh my god. I'm... I'm so sorry. I'm meeting someone. I've got to go.
00:26:41Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:43No, no, it's okay. It's not that far. I can just walk.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:49Thank you. See you.
00:27:03I really should stop reading these.
00:27:08Take a seat.
00:27:19Why'd you call me?
00:27:21Nah, straight to the point.
00:27:24Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:27I wanted to sue you, I would have done that a long time ago.
00:27:30I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:34You really should pay for all the wrong information or stupid article spreads.
00:27:40I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:44Look.
00:27:45I have a task.
00:27:48And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:51I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:54What kind of task?
00:27:58I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:01I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:04You just need to prepare in the spotlight since you're a well-known reporter.
00:28:11What kind of articles?
00:28:13I'll tell you what you've signed the contract.
00:28:17And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:21If anything gets spread, I won't hesitate and I'll see you right away.
00:28:28All right.
00:28:31Consider it done.
00:28:34Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:38Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:41Don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:51I'm fine.
00:28:53Hey!
00:28:54Sorry!
00:28:55I'm on.
00:29:01Sorry, I've just woke up.
00:29:02Oh, that's fine.
00:29:04I should have informed you before coming over.
00:29:07Sorry.
00:29:07No, no, no.
00:29:07It's all right.
00:29:08Okay.
00:29:12So, why are you standing there?
00:29:16What do you mean?
00:29:17I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:20You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:22Is that sorry?
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:35Hello?
00:29:38Yeah, I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:29:41All right.
00:29:43Okay.
00:29:44Bye.
00:29:46All right, Ben.
00:29:47We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:51Oh, wait.
00:29:53I got an appointment.
00:29:55Appointment?
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:57It's all right.
00:29:58It's my own personal business.
00:29:59I'll take care of it some other time.
00:30:00No, that's all right.
00:30:01Blake can accompany me.
00:30:03Me.
00:30:06All right.
00:30:08All right.
00:30:08You two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:12So, you ready for the task?
00:30:15What task?
00:30:18Task the reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:20Oh, no.
00:30:21Yes.
00:30:22Sorry.
00:30:23Forgot.
00:30:26So, what's the plan?
00:30:30It's your plan.
00:30:31You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:30:34Wait, you're telling me this is on me?
00:30:37I'll publicize it.
00:30:39You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:30:43I kind of thought you'd have, like, a whole script prepared for me.
00:30:47Too busy for that.
00:30:48Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:51You're already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:53No.
00:30:53And that'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:02Yes.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:04All right.
00:31:04Thank you so much.
00:31:05Bye.
00:31:08I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:11Oh, well, you know, I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:15Sure.
00:31:19Question, by the way, um, why don't you have a driver?
00:31:24I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:28Because I like to drive myself.
00:31:31Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:31:33No, you should.
00:31:39Um, I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:31:45Yeah, well, I have you now.
00:31:47To drive me.
00:31:48You've got your license, right?
00:31:52I've always loved cars.
00:31:54Um, my dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:31:57Really?
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:58Wow.
00:31:59Um, yeah, I used to help him repair our cars, and, you know, he loved to have me by his
00:32:05side
00:32:05helping out.
00:32:06Well, why did you stop?
00:32:07You could have opened a shop here.
00:32:14Um, my dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:23You know, um, it was always my dream to buy my own car.
00:32:27So I put in a loan, and I got one.
00:32:30Um, but then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:42And I'm talking too much about myself.
00:32:46I'm so sorry.
00:32:47That's okay.
00:32:50Shall we head home?
00:32:54Yeah.
00:33:08Hey, Alan.
00:33:10Thanks for organizing the suit.
00:33:11And thanks for organizing Blake's dress, too.
00:33:13She loves it.
00:33:14Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16Gotta go.
00:33:17See you.
00:33:19All right.
00:33:20I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:21Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:22No, it's fine.
00:33:23No, it's, uh, oh, I see.
00:33:27You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:31Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:36I didn't, I wasn't saying.
00:33:42I was joking.
00:33:44Okay, well, I'm going to get the suit back.
00:33:46No, I know you're not.
00:33:50I'm, I'm sorry.
00:33:52No, no, don't apologize.
00:33:56Um, you know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:03I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:07I'm going to go grab the suit now.
00:34:18Good work.
00:34:23What is it?
00:34:27Your assistant is so rude.
00:34:29How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:32You better teach them some manners, or I'm going to make a complaint.
00:34:35Bria, your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:39Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:44Look, I'm here to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:51You know you can't replace me.
00:34:54Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:34:58Bria, you have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:02Now that your plans have failed, you cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again.
00:35:07What are you talking about, breached my contract?
00:35:09I went on vacation.
00:35:11What, you didn't tell me anything.
00:35:13Or Ben, so I took it as your resignation.
00:35:17Okay, so, take this and drop a new contract and let's get back into it.
00:35:22I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:24Bria, my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:28But when...
00:35:30...
00:35:31...
00:35:56You're trusting me with a house key, huh?
00:36:06I should let him know.
00:36:08Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text?
00:36:11I'll interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:36:33Ben?
00:36:37Ben?
00:36:42Ben?
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:02What?
00:37:04What, you're not going to say hello?
00:37:08Hi.
00:37:10Um, sorry, I thought you would be busy so I just came.
00:37:13No, that's okay, you've got keys.
00:37:15Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:17Hunger?
00:37:18Um, no.
00:37:20Come on, let's have breakfast.
00:37:22No, I'm good.
00:37:23Let me show you my cooking skills, come on.
00:37:26Fine.
00:37:36Why does this make you so happy?
00:37:38Oh, because I suck at making coffee and you're really good at this.
00:37:43You want to learn?
00:37:45No, that would be really embarrassing.
00:37:47Please, let me teach you, then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:54Like that?
00:37:55Yeah, I just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:37:58Okay.
00:37:59You suck at it because you're holding it.
00:38:03It's...
00:38:03Can't all...
00:38:04Just bring it back a little.
00:38:07Just...
00:38:09Just...
00:38:09Just...
00:38:22Hey, Alan, I know I'm late.
00:38:24Sorry.
00:38:24Um, what's up?
00:38:26What?
00:38:29Alright.
00:38:30Okay.
00:38:32What's up?
00:38:34Alan says there's an article about us.
00:38:37Come on, let's go.
00:38:53Do you know why everyone's staring at me today?
00:38:55Yeah, me too.
00:38:56Exactly.
00:38:57We haven't even done anything yet.
00:38:59I'd still have 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up.
00:39:06But I was just helping her.
00:39:07Yeah, he was just helping me out the car.
00:39:10What's your problem?
00:39:10Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
00:39:12Well, I mean, it's what we wanted, but not how we wanted.
00:39:15Well, sometimes things don't go the way that you planned, but that doesn't mean there's
00:39:19anything wrong here.
00:39:20You don't think it's too sudden?
00:39:23Too sudden?
00:39:24Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:30Oh, I'm sorry, Blake.
00:39:31I didn't mean that.
00:39:32No.
00:39:33No, it's the truth, right?
00:39:36But that's just a side task.
00:39:37You are my secretary.
00:39:40Ben, it's what you approach people.
00:39:43It's fine.
00:39:44Really, I don't have a problem with this.
00:39:46See?
00:39:47There's no problem here.
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:50Well, let's move it forward.
00:39:52Alright.
00:39:53So, Ben, do you have a plan?
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:56Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:40:06Um, so that explicit event we're going to tomorrow, um, are you taking me as your date?
00:40:15Yeah, that's what I said.
00:40:18No, no, can't, can't do that.
00:40:20Too embarrassing.
00:40:21That's what I told Ellen.
00:40:24It's not that.
00:40:26I just, I'm ready to do whatever.
00:40:28I just feel like it might be too much.
00:40:33Eventually, we're going to have to act as a couple in public.
00:40:36So why drake now?
00:40:40I can see you're worried.
00:40:43It reminds me of when I first debuted.
00:40:45I was scared.
00:40:47I didn't know how everyone was going to react.
00:40:50Whether they like what I'd done, whether they hate it.
00:40:54And I was alone.
00:40:56Your fear is justified, Blake.
00:40:58But you're not alone.
00:40:59No.
00:41:01We'll do this together.
00:41:06Alright.
00:41:07I'll go with her.
00:41:13I think what we installed...
00:41:18Is an opportunity here.
00:41:20For what?
00:41:23May I?
00:41:30Okay.
00:41:31Act natural.
00:41:32Let's see.
00:41:41Are you going home now?
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44Yeah, no.
00:41:44I will miss my bus, but I should rush.
00:41:47I have something that I need to show you.
00:41:49Would you mind going with me?
00:41:53Um...
00:41:53Ben, I'll miss my bus.
00:41:55Just be a minute, and I think I have a solution for her.
00:41:58Okay.
00:42:00This is for you.
00:42:03Oh, a key to your car now, too?
00:42:05A key to your car.
00:42:08What are you talking about?
00:42:10I bought you a car.
00:42:14Um...
00:42:15Are you serious?
00:42:17It's just for your work.
00:42:18So you can drive me places and get home alright.
00:42:24I don't mind taking the bus, Ben. It's fine.
00:42:26I know you're fine, but, I mean, you drive me home, and then you struggle to get home yourself, and...
00:42:32No, I think it'll... it'll help you.
00:42:35I...
00:42:36Please, take it.
00:42:38Okay? It'll make me happy.
00:42:40And you need to practice your driving skills, so...
00:42:45Um...
00:42:46Thank you!
00:42:57Thank you, Ben.
00:43:03I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:15I guess dreams really do come true.
00:43:17There is no way I can spend Cooper today.
00:43:24Oh my god.
00:43:26No. No.
00:43:28Just my job.
00:43:31Just my job.
00:43:39Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:40Oh, yes.
00:43:41Oh, yes.
00:43:41Oh, yes.
00:43:48Hello?
00:43:51Listen.
00:43:52We cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the rooms.
00:43:57Yes.
00:43:59Just try and avoid the rooms.
00:44:00Thank you very much.
00:44:02Okay.
00:44:03Bye.
00:44:06Ben, what the hell?
00:44:08What do you mean?
00:44:10You told me to go ahead, and I did it.
00:44:12This is just the start.
00:44:14You freaking kissed Blake.
00:44:17I thought you were going to start small by, like, giving her a handshake, or just a hug.
00:44:23Is it working?
00:44:28That's the goal.
00:44:30What the hell is going on, Ben?
00:44:34Explain yourself!
00:44:36Explain what, and why?
00:44:38Don't play dumb with me.
00:44:39You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:44:42I don't think that I need to explain anything to you.
00:44:45Alright?
00:44:46I thought we were minding our own business.
00:44:49You're so stuck in the past.
00:44:51Can you get over that already?
00:44:53You know that was the last thing you said to me.
00:44:56Just, when are you going to drop that?
00:45:00I thought we were exclusive.
00:45:02What happened to us?
00:45:05Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:45:08We're broken up.
00:45:10You never actually broke up with me.
00:45:12Jeez.
00:45:13You left me!
00:45:16Okay?
00:45:16You told me to mind my own business.
00:45:18You treated me like garbage.
00:45:19And you expect me to do what?
00:45:20You come in here and I just forgive you.
00:45:21Okay, Ben.
00:45:22Ben.
00:45:22Calm down.
00:45:23No.
00:45:23No.
00:45:25You can't just act like this was all nothing between us.
00:45:30Ben.
00:45:31Alan, just, please ask her to leave.
00:45:33Ria.
00:45:34Please.
00:45:41So you're Blake.
00:45:45Hey, Blake.
00:45:47Let me drive you back to my place.
00:45:49Okay?
00:45:58I could tell you were angry earlier.
00:46:01You know, driving when you're angry is quite dangerous.
00:46:04Why is that?
00:46:06Because you don't pay attention to the road and you don't think when you're angry.
00:46:13Are you serious?
00:46:14Hey, I didn't disagree.
00:46:16Yeah.
00:46:18I like to drive to distract myself.
00:46:21I can't help.
00:46:23Oh.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:26What do you do when you're angry?
00:46:30Um...
00:46:33I guess I just like to go somewhere alone and then let my emotions settle down a bit.
00:46:43I usually drive alone.
00:46:46Well, you don't have to anymore.
00:46:48You've got me now.
00:46:50Always.
00:46:56Listen, I'm sorry about the mess.
00:46:58I am very busy because, you know, I'm really mad at folding clothes.
00:47:04I can tell.
00:47:06Um...
00:47:07I can teach you.
00:47:09I'd like that.
00:47:11Yep.
00:47:23I did it, didn't I?
00:47:25No.
00:47:26You look perfect.
00:47:29I promise.
00:47:31You look beautiful.
00:47:35I can see you're nervous.
00:47:36Don't be.
00:47:38I'll be with you the entire time.
00:47:40I just...
00:47:41I don't want to faint, Ben.
00:47:42I really want to help you out.
00:47:44And if you really want to help me out, then just stop pretending.
00:47:47Okay, be yourself.
00:47:48Let me worry about the rest.
00:47:51Okay.
00:47:52Look, the plan is...
00:47:54To make everyone think that we're a real couple.
00:47:57So I found a place by a lake that is famous for being...
00:48:00For celebrity couples being spotted there.
00:48:02So with any luck, after tonight, everyone will believe that we're a real couple.
00:48:07Well, let's just hope that's successful then.
00:48:10Hmm.
00:48:13Shall we complete the lock?
00:48:14Please.
00:48:30Done. Let's go.
00:48:40Are you okay?
00:48:42I just, um...
00:48:44I forgot that so many people might be watching us.
00:48:46Just remember, we're making the headlines for tomorrow.
00:48:50Yeah, no, that's horrifying.
00:48:54You know, I thought it would, um...
00:48:56We'll just be, you know, fake laughing with you.
00:48:59But, um...
00:49:00It's actually kind of real.
00:49:04Well, I told you.
00:49:05I like you because you're real.
00:49:07All these other girls that I've met before...
00:49:11Like, they all know who I am.
00:49:13Like, before you, I hadn't met someone that didn't know me.
00:49:16Someone that wasn't already obsessed with me.
00:49:26Well, I think that's enough work for today.
00:49:28Yeah, shall we go?
00:49:30Let's go!
00:49:35You wait, dear, I'll go get the car.
00:49:37Yeah.
00:49:43Here to steal the headline, huh?
00:49:48You know he's just using you.
00:49:50Your voice does that.
00:49:54What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:49:57What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:49:57Ben is mine.
00:49:58I won't let you steal from me.
00:50:00Really?
00:50:01Stop being delusional!
00:50:03He wants nothing to do with you!
00:50:12Don't you ever mess with me!
00:50:31Don't you ever mess with me!
00:50:34Hey!
00:50:36Hey!
00:50:39Wait, what happened?
00:50:43Just... hang on.
00:50:44Stay where you are, I'm coming, okay?
00:50:48Blake!
00:50:49Hey!
00:50:50Hey, Blake!
00:50:52What happened? Are you okay?
00:50:56You said Ria did something?
00:50:59Yeah?
00:51:01Let's get you warm.
00:51:08I'm so sorry.
00:51:09I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I don't... I don't want to talk about it again.
00:51:15That's okay.
00:51:16That's okay.
00:51:17I'm so sorry, Blake.
00:51:18I'm so sorry.
00:51:21Yeah, let's go home.
00:51:29Um...
00:51:29Do you want your jacket back?
00:51:30No!
00:51:31No, you keep it.
00:51:34You can take the car.
00:51:36I can just take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:37No!
00:51:38I'll take the bus tomorrow.
00:51:39You keep the car.
00:51:41Please, Blake.
00:51:45Hey, can we...
00:51:46Can we talk?
00:51:48Is your place alright?
00:51:51No, no, it's fine.
00:51:52I was... it's silly.
00:51:53No!
00:51:54No!
00:51:54It's, um...
00:51:57Come on in.
00:51:58Okay.
00:52:08Um, sorry, it's very small.
00:52:11No, it's... it's cozy.
00:52:14Listen, about today, I... I don't have the words. I feel ashamed.
00:52:21It's fine, Ben.
00:52:23It's fine, Ben.
00:52:23No, it's not.
00:52:26Every job has its challenges and this is just...
00:52:28Please, please, stop.
00:52:32Okay?
00:52:32This is something that can never be justified.
00:52:39I won't let it end like this, Blake.
00:52:45Ben, you can't risk your reputation for me.
00:52:48I'm just your secretary.
00:52:50You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary.
00:52:56You're more than that to me.
00:53:00What do you mean?
00:53:04I mean...
00:53:08I think...
00:53:11I think I've developed feelings for you, Blake.
00:53:17Since...
00:53:18Since when?
00:53:19To be honest, I don't know.
00:53:22I mean...
00:53:23When I...
00:53:23When I first met you, I...
00:53:25I wanted to get to know you better.
00:53:27And...
00:53:28I spoke to Alan, and...
00:53:30We had a role for you to play.
00:53:32But...
00:53:32I want you to know that I have loved every second that I've spent with you.
00:53:40But after today...
00:53:42If you want to end the contract here...
00:53:44That's okay.
00:53:45I... I understand.
00:53:48And...
00:53:48Please, don't let my feelings be a burden to you.
00:53:52I just wanted to be true to myself.
00:54:02Can I kiss you?
00:54:04Because I...
00:54:05I really want to.
00:54:24Yes?
00:54:28Send her in.
00:54:33What happened last night?
00:54:35I'm hearing all kinds of things.
00:54:37Well, everything was...
00:54:38Fine.
00:54:38Until Rhea caused a scene.
00:54:40When will she leave us alone?
00:54:42What did she do exactly?
00:54:45Well...
00:54:46I was taking pictures of them.
00:54:48Like you asked.
00:54:49And then Ben left Blake by herself.
00:54:52And Rhea showed up.
00:54:53And then she started this...
00:54:55Argument and...
00:54:57She slapped her.
00:54:59She's really crossed the line this time.
00:55:02Write an article about this.
00:55:03We need to cause this scandal so she leaves us alone.
00:55:06Look, I'm really sorry, but...
00:55:08I'm only paid to write for Ben.
00:55:10Hmm.
00:55:22Consider it done.
00:55:28Who is this?
00:55:29She's a reporter.
00:55:31And what are you doing on here?
00:55:34I hired her.
00:55:40Why didn't you tell me about Oliver?
00:55:43It wasn't important.
00:55:45The heck, Alan?
00:55:46You hired the reporter!
00:55:47You know what she's done!
00:55:49I know.
00:55:49I know.
00:55:50I know.
00:55:50But you wouldn't have let her on if I told you about her.
00:55:53Of course!
00:55:54Right?
00:55:54She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place.
00:55:58Look.
00:55:59She wrote those articles.
00:56:00I know. I know.
00:56:01Please.
00:56:01Take a session.
00:56:04She wrote those articles on you in the first place.
00:56:07Therefore, she has the audience we need.
00:56:08One good deed.
00:56:09Don't you see?
00:56:11She wrote one story about you and the old rumours died.
00:56:15This is because people trust her.
00:56:17One good deed does not make her a good person, okay?
00:56:20I don't trust her.
00:56:21I know. I know.
00:56:22I don't trust her either.
00:56:25But I've got a plan, okay?
00:56:27She is useful.
00:56:30Still.
00:56:32Ben.
00:56:34In my years of managing, I've learnt one thing.
00:56:38Sometimes you need to take the risk.
00:56:41Whatever.
00:56:42Okay, I just...
00:56:44Don't want to get Blake involved in this.
00:56:45No.
00:56:46Okay, we can't drag her into this mess.
00:56:47No, I know.
00:56:48So, say what happened to her last night.
00:56:51Wait.
00:56:53Wait, where is she?
00:56:54Why isn't she with you?
00:56:56Oh, don't tell me she's left.
00:56:58We can't do this without her!
00:57:00How are we going to do an extra-
00:57:01She's just taking a break today.
00:57:03Everything's fine.
00:57:05But...
00:57:07I do need to tell you something.
00:57:22It smells so good.
00:57:25What time did you wake up?
00:57:27I woke up just after you left.
00:57:31I can't stay away from you for long.
00:57:48No.
00:57:49Food's ready.
00:57:56Can we eat later?
00:58:04No.
00:58:12Why'd you call?
00:58:14Don't lie down with me.
00:58:17Do you fear me?
00:58:19I fear you.
00:58:21I mean, why else?
00:58:22Why would you call this soon?
00:58:24Ben's gay story was your idea.
00:58:26Can you keep it down?
00:58:28Someone could heal us.
00:58:30It's not going to change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me.
00:58:34How many times do I have to tell you?
00:58:36This is not about defaming Ben.
00:58:38I just wanted him to get back with me.
00:58:42But I do need your help.
00:58:44I have some intel on Blake that I think you're going to want to heal.
00:58:49I don't know.
00:58:55Their relationship.
00:58:57The whole thing is fake.
00:58:59They've got a contract.
00:59:01It's all for publicity.
00:59:03Expose her.
00:59:05Maria, this isn't enough.
00:59:07I know that.
00:59:13That should be enough.
00:59:17I don't know.
00:59:18Do it.
00:59:19Drag Blake through the press.
00:59:23And if you do it.
00:59:25And it works.
00:59:27I'll agree to be on a date with you.
00:59:30Do you promise?
00:59:33Promise.
00:59:35Anything for a date with you.
00:59:44Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:46Say it with a smile.
00:59:48Be nice, Alan.
00:59:51Do whatever you want to do.
00:59:54See, that's what I'm talking about.
00:59:58Well, how do you want to go about this?
00:59:59People already know you're dating.
01:00:01Well, I mean, this will be the first time people are actually correct about our relationship status.
01:00:06Alright.
01:00:08What about you, Blake?
01:00:09Your contract?
01:00:11Let's just end the contract here.
01:00:13We'll pay you what we owe and finish with that.
01:00:17Alright.
01:00:18And what about your secretary, Jerome?
01:00:20Still going to continue with that?
01:00:24Yeah, I'll still keep my job at home.
01:00:26Alright.
01:00:27Well, she's made up her mind.
01:00:40No way.
01:00:43You've trusted the wrong person again, Alan.
01:00:51I need you to clear my schedule for today.
01:00:53Yeah, let me see.
01:00:54You need to clear it.
01:00:56Okay, I'm gonna go see Blake.
01:00:57She's not feeling well.
01:00:58Look, of course, of course.
01:00:59I understand.
01:01:02You need to listen to me for a second.
01:01:06I'm sorry.
01:01:08I shouldn't find her.
01:01:10Yeah, I told you that before.
01:01:12But you didn't listen to me.
01:01:14And now we're here.
01:01:15Okay?
01:01:15She leaked all of Blake's information.
01:01:18Including her home address in the village.
01:01:19She's not safe anymore.
01:01:21What am I supposed-
01:01:22Do you understand how bad this is?
01:01:24How am I supposed to face her?
01:01:25No.
01:01:25Just-
01:01:27Just talk to her.
01:01:28I'll take care of the rest, yeah?
01:01:30You do your job.
01:01:32I'll do mine.
01:01:44What's in the bag?
01:01:47Where are you going?
01:01:50Where are you going?
01:01:51You can't leave unless you tell me what's going on.
01:01:55What does it look like when we met that lady?
01:01:57But no, you can't leave.
01:02:00We can fix this.
01:02:01It's not-
01:02:01No, everything about me is on the internet.
01:02:04Okay?
01:02:04I can't take it anymore.
01:02:06People are calling me a gold digger and selfish and fake.
01:02:10You're not fake.
01:02:11Blake, just give me a chance, okay?
01:02:13I can fix everything.
01:02:16I can't do this anymore.
01:02:18Ben, this isn't me.
01:02:19This isn't who I am.
01:02:21Blake, I love you so much.
01:02:23Just...
01:02:25Let me do something to fix it.
01:02:26I promise.
01:02:27Go.
01:02:29Just go.
01:02:30No, I can't.
01:02:31I can't do this anymore.
01:02:34Just go.
01:02:48Good work, Oliver.
01:02:51Anything for you?
01:02:53Okay.
01:02:54So, um...
01:02:56Where's your part of the deal?
01:02:59I...
01:02:59I think I already paid you.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02Yeah, you did.
01:03:03Um...
01:03:04I'm talking about our date.
01:03:08Oliver, I was just kidding.
01:03:12You were kidding?
01:03:14Yeah, I...
01:03:15I thought you realised that.
01:03:17Look, we're just so different.
01:03:22What do you mean by that?
01:03:25Well...
01:03:26Let's just say I'm really useful to lots of different journalists.
01:03:32They want to date me and get the inside scoop and I just can't let that happen.
01:03:37Wait, so you think I can't do my job without you?
01:03:41Obviously.
01:03:42I practically wrote your last few articles.
01:03:46Wow.
01:03:50But...
01:03:51I just couldn't date a reporter.
01:03:53I need someone who's on the same level as me.
01:03:56You understand.
01:04:00I can't do anything.
01:04:02I can't do anything.
01:04:04I can't do anything.
01:04:05I can't do anything.
01:04:07I can't do anything.
01:04:08On the same level as you.
01:04:12We'll see about that.
01:04:20Hello?
01:04:23Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:04:24Ben's sick right now.
01:04:25That's why he wasn't on set today.
01:04:27I can't do anything.
01:04:28Yeah, if we could make another day for the shoot, that would be amazing.
01:04:32Yeah.
01:04:33Yeah, thank you very much.
01:04:35Alright.
01:04:36Okay, bye.
01:04:45Please pick up, Ben.
01:04:53This is the legal notice I'm writing here.
01:04:58Find and double the amount paid.
01:05:04It's good of you to come and collect it yourself.
01:05:08It's not negotiable.
01:05:14I will take this, but I need to tell you something first.
01:05:18Fine.
01:05:20But it's not going to change the fact that I'm going to sue you no matter what.
01:05:23Let's take down Ria together.
01:05:28Are you loyal to nobody?
01:05:29You really are a piece of work.
01:05:32Ria betrayed me, so I want to take her down.
01:05:37Alright.
01:05:39But if you double cross me again, I'll make your life a living hell.
01:05:43Ria paid me from the very start to write about Ben.
01:05:58I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:01I can never make anyone happy.
01:06:04Blake deserves all the happiness.
01:06:22Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:35Read the headline I sent you.
01:06:41I understand your decision to leave.
01:06:44But I hope you know Ben loves you very much.
01:06:48But in the end, it's your life.
01:06:50I won't force you to do anything.
01:06:56Ria will be facing the consequences of her actions.
01:07:00She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben.
01:07:04The chats have been made public.
01:07:08Good for her, it's the least she deserves.
01:07:11And we'll write a statement for you.
01:07:14And file a lawsuit against Ria for invading your privacy.
01:07:19It's fine, Alan.
01:07:20You don't have to waste all that money on me.
01:07:22I'm just a regular person.
01:07:25So what?
01:07:28Regular people don't deserve respect?
01:07:35You know, I can't ruin the career that Ben has worked.
01:07:39It's so hard to achieve.
01:07:43That's why I'm leaving for the village tomorrow.
01:07:46And I would really appreciate it if you could not tell Ben about this, please.
01:07:57Blake.
01:07:57Blake, just take a check, please.
01:08:03I rarely did any good for Ben, Alan.
01:08:08See ya.
01:08:22Thank you for bearing with me.
01:08:29Why are you here, Ben?
01:08:32So, you've decided to leave?
01:08:35That's alright.
01:08:37Just let me drop you off.
01:08:39And I...
01:08:40Please.
01:08:41One last time?
01:08:45Fine.
01:08:53You're making the right decision, Blake.
01:08:56I don't deserve to have you.
01:09:00All I've done is just cause you trouble, and...
01:09:03You've had enough trouble because of me.
01:09:06So I'm glad that you're making the right decision for yourself.
01:09:12It's not about you, Ben.
01:09:16You have dedicated your entire life to your career, and I don't want to ruin that for you.
01:09:21All that matters to me is you.
01:09:24And without you, nothing else matters.
01:09:28I don't know if I'm glad you're here.
01:09:36I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna walk from here.
01:09:40You shouldn't come.
01:09:51Hey.
01:09:54Do you want to come meet my family?
01:10:04Will.
01:10:05Do you want me to come.
01:10:08I don't want to come.
01:10:16I don't want to come.
