00:00:00You're late on your child support again, Daniel.
00:00:15Just another hopeless ex-wife looking for her hand out, huh?
00:00:21Look at you!
00:00:22You insisted that I quit my career so that I could take care of our daughter.
00:00:25Now you're leaving us high and dry.
00:00:27Go make your own money, huh?
00:00:28I am!
00:00:29It's just not enough to pay for Cecilia's summer camp. We need your help.
00:00:33Well, well. Isn't this your loser ex?
00:00:36You call your food delivery gig making money? You're such a loser.
00:00:40You know, she brings nothing of value to her family. Unlike you, Barry.
00:00:44I don't bring value?
00:00:48You cheated on me with her and you broke our family, Damien!
00:00:51Anyone would believe you, Rachel. Just look at yourself.
00:00:55What did I tell you?
00:00:57Damien bought this ring for me yesterday. You like it?
00:01:02You'd rather waste your money on her than your own daughter, sweetie.
00:01:05It's a good lesson to learn. Why don't you start getting used to it?
00:01:09You have a delivery.
00:01:12Why don't you go make money for your tramping little daughter? Bye!
00:01:17What? Did you just say, oh my daughter?
00:01:27Caroline!
00:01:46Mom, is everything okay?
00:01:50Yes, honey. Are you sure you don't want to go say hi to Daddy?
00:01:57You know what? How about we go on an adventure together?
00:02:04I just got a food delivery order. Why don't you come with me?
00:02:08Let's go!
00:02:27I want to be in love.
00:02:30Wait in the car for me, okay?
00:02:43Hey, Leslie.
00:02:44Austin, my darling, I just sent over a few potential candidate resumes.
00:02:48Candidates? For what?
00:02:50Your new personal assistant. Remember? You fired the last one.
00:02:54The last one fawned over me. She never got anything done.
00:02:57Because you're one of the biggest stars in town. Everyone adores you.
00:03:00That's the problem. Hold on a second.
00:03:08Austin?
00:03:13Austin?
00:03:14I've really got to get better security. Do you want an autograph?
00:03:18A picture is fine.
00:03:20Sure. Okay.
00:03:25This food... I thought you wanted to take a selfie with me.
00:03:31Why would I want a selfie with you?
00:03:33Because I'm me.
00:03:36And you are?
00:03:38I'm... you really don't know who I am?
00:03:42Sir, it's great that you have all this free time in your massive mansion to mess with a delivery person.
00:03:47But I have some food orders to get to. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go.
00:03:54What?
00:03:58You missed out on me.
00:04:00No.
00:04:01Not today.
00:04:03My dear boyfriend!
00:04:07Hello, my dear boyfriend!
00:04:09For the thousandth time, I'm not your boyfriend.
00:04:12Um, the contract says that we are boyfriend and girlfriend.
00:04:16Exactly. A contract. To promote the movie that we were in.
00:04:22Oh, shoot. I think I grabbed the wrong bag. Um, I'll be right back.
00:04:29Don't pretend like the chemistry isn't real.
00:04:34What we have is real. This is my girlfriend.
00:04:40What are you doing?
00:04:41Just play along, please.
00:04:45Yep. This is my boyfriend.
00:04:50I don't believe it.
00:04:52She seems more like a delivery girl.
00:04:58I knew it.
00:04:59You can't get rid of me that easily.
00:05:01God, I hate this girl.
00:05:03You better include a big tip for this.
00:05:16Deeply in love.
00:05:18You replaced me with a nobody?
00:05:20I think you should go.
00:05:22You're intruding on our quality time.
00:05:26This isn't over.
00:05:30That was close.
00:05:34That's for getting me in this mess.
00:05:36Do you know how many people would kill to kiss me?
00:05:39Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?
00:05:41Wait, you really don't know who I am?
00:05:49Leslie, did you order me food?
00:05:51Oh, right. I forgot to tell you.
00:05:53My assistant is handling your stuff for now until we find you a new one.
00:05:56About that. I think I got a better idea.
00:06:05Silver Lake Agency invites you for a job interview, but I never applied to this.
00:06:12They're one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood.
00:06:15Mom, that's so cool. It's like a sign.
00:06:18But I've never worked in that industry.
00:06:20So what? You're super awesome.
00:06:22They'd be lucky to have you.
00:06:24How did I deserve you?
00:06:33Wish me luck.
00:06:43What brings you here, ma'am?
00:06:45I am here for an interview with Leslie Lee.
00:06:48Do you have any idea who she is?
00:06:51As the owner of this agency, Ms. Lee doesn't waste her time with...
00:06:55Well, people like you.
00:06:57I'm telling the truth.
00:06:59Sure. And I'm the Queen of England.
00:07:02That'd be a stretch, wouldn't it?
00:07:04Morning, Leslie.
00:07:06Ms. Harmon?
00:07:07I'm Leslie Lee.
00:07:08Hi.
00:07:09Follow me.
00:07:13You come highly recommended by one of our clients.
00:07:16I guess your resume must be very impressive.
00:07:18So let's take a look, shall we?
00:07:28You haven't worked in years.
00:07:34You haven't worked in years.
00:07:36You haven't worked in years.
00:07:41I took time off to watch over my daughter.
00:07:44But I've been doing some part-time jobs while I'm applying for work.
00:07:48Okay. What do you do part-time?
00:07:51Food delivery, mostly.
00:07:54I don't think your experience aligns with what we're looking for.
00:07:59I understand.
00:08:01Thank you for your time.
00:08:03You're just going to give up that easy?
00:08:06You?
00:08:07Austin, my darling.
00:08:09We have tons of qualified people applying for the job.
00:08:11Some of them are even Ivy League graduates.
00:08:14You really don't need to hire an inexperienced housewife to be your assistant.
00:08:20So that's what this is, huh?
00:08:24Did you organize this whole thing to humiliate me?
00:08:28What?
00:08:29Yeah, sure.
00:08:30I'm a broke single mom.
00:08:32I didn't get a fancy degree or climb the corporate ladder.
00:08:37But I'm perfectly smart and capable.
00:08:41Do you realize how hard it is to be a single parent?
00:08:44To manage a household, handle finances, organize events.
00:08:49I supported my daughter and myself through really hard times.
00:08:54And I think those experiences are good for any job, including a personal assistant.
00:09:01That's the feisty I'm talking about.
00:09:03It's indeed very impressive, but still...
00:09:05Leslie, did I mention there's another agency looking to bring me on board?
00:09:11Welcome aboard, Rachel.
00:09:13You're going to make a great assistant for Austin.
00:09:15Who will be staying with us for the foreseeable future, right?
00:09:19I will let them know that I love my dear Leslie too much to walk away.
00:09:23I'll be with Silver Lake Agency for a while.
00:09:31Thank you so much for this opportunity.
00:09:35I promise I won't let you down.
00:09:38But can I ask why you decided to help me?
00:09:42I wasn't helping you.
00:09:44I was helping myself.
00:09:45You don't know me, so you're less likely to develop a schoolgirl crush like everyone else.
00:09:53Oh, you weren't joking.
00:09:55Let's get to work.
00:09:57I need everything on this list.
00:10:01All of this?
00:10:03All of it.
00:10:31I think I changed my mind.
00:10:33I'd like a Chardonnay instead.
00:10:37Now?
00:10:39The store is on the other side of LA.
00:10:41It's going to take two hours during rush hour.
00:10:43I can always let Leslie know that this job didn't seem so important to you.
00:10:47I'm sorry.
00:10:49I'm sorry.
00:10:51I'm sorry.
00:10:53I'm sorry.
00:10:55I'm sorry.
00:10:57I'm sorry.
00:11:00I'm on it.
00:11:06Hi.
00:11:08I'm just checking in that you're picking up Cecilia like we agreed.
00:11:12Anyway, call me back.
00:11:23As you requested.
00:11:30Pour me a glass.
00:11:45It's fucking red.
00:11:49Go get me a Chardonnay.
00:11:51Are you fucking kidding me?
00:11:53You want me to go to the store again?
00:11:55Not unless you want your first day to be your last.
00:12:04Give me strength.
00:12:06This is for Cecilia.
00:12:08Who are you talking to?
00:12:10Joe.
00:12:12As you wish.
00:12:18Hello?
00:12:20What?
00:12:22Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:12:25What's wrong?
00:12:27You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:12:29It's my daughter.
00:12:33Cece?
00:12:35Hi, Mom.
00:12:37Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
00:12:39How are you feeling?
00:12:41A bit dizzy.
00:12:43They had to put some stitches in.
00:12:45What happened?
00:12:47I was waiting for Dad, but he never showed up.
00:12:50Some kids started making fun of me, and then Ryan pushed me.
00:12:54I fell and hit my head.
00:12:56This is all my fault.
00:12:59Mom, it's okay. It doesn't even hurt that much.
00:13:03Can you get me some candy?
00:13:05I'll feel much better.
00:13:09Okay, sweeties.
00:13:11I'll go get you some.
00:13:20What the fuck is going on?
00:13:22You failed to pick up Cecilia today,
00:13:24and now she's in the hospital because of a bully.
00:13:26That's what's going on.
00:13:27Are you kidding me?
00:13:28Kids play around.
00:13:29What the fuck does this have to do with me?
00:13:31You don't deserve to be a father.
00:13:34Watch your fucking tone.
00:13:37A man who hits a woman is no man.
00:13:40What the fuck?
00:13:46What the fuck?
00:13:48Who do you think you are?
00:13:50You're that celebrity hotshot kid, Austin Cooper.
00:13:56So that's how you make your moves, huh?
00:13:59You gold-digging bitch.
00:14:01I was in Panda Strike 2.
00:14:05I will make your life a living hell.
00:14:08You think you're so tough, don't you?
00:14:11Screw both of you.
00:14:14Are you okay?
00:14:18I'm fine. Thank you.
00:14:20What happened?
00:14:22My daughter got bullied.
00:14:24I should have just picked her up when my ex didn't answer the phone.
00:14:28I'm sorry.
00:14:30It's fine. It's not your phone.
00:14:32It kind of was.
00:14:35What do you mean?
00:14:38I don't care about the wine.
00:14:41So you were just torturing me?
00:14:43You called me a jackass after I got you the job, so I just...
00:14:46But then I thanked you.
00:14:48I know.
00:14:50Austin Cooper?
00:14:51Cecilia, you need some rest.
00:14:53Mom, I'm fine.
00:14:54You didn't tell me you were working with Austin Cooper.
00:14:57You're on TV all the time.
00:14:59Can I get a selfie?
00:15:00Sure.
00:15:01Damn, why does everyone know him but I don't?
00:15:03Mom, can I borrow your phone?
00:15:05Uh, yeah, sweetie.
00:15:09Mom!
00:15:10Yeah?
00:15:11Come on, Mom.
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:18Cecilia, you were bullied?
00:15:21How about we go teach that bully a lesson?
00:15:25Cecilia, you were bullied?
00:15:28How about we go teach that bully a lesson?
00:15:39Thank you all for coming.
00:15:41We're here to discuss the incident involving Cecilia and Ryan.
00:15:45We don't see what the fuss is about.
00:15:49Your kid sent my daughter to the hospital.
00:15:52Kids fall down all the time.
00:15:54Maybe Cecilia shouldn't have been waiting alone.
00:15:58What are you getting at?
00:16:00If she had a proper father figure, she might have been better protected.
00:16:04Let's just stay focused on the incident itself.
00:16:09Is that...
00:16:11Austin Cooper?
00:16:13Yep, everybody loves him.
00:16:17As a friend of Rachel and Cecilia, I figured I'd help out.
00:16:21This is the security footage from that day.
00:16:26As you can see, Ryan clearly pushed Cecilia on purpose.
00:16:31Thank you, Mr. Cooper.
00:16:33The evidence is very clear.
00:16:38We'll address Ryan and his parents.
00:16:40There will be appropriate consequences.
00:16:42Thank you, Ms. Parker.
00:16:52My dad and mommy will protect me, not like your parents.
00:17:02Let me.
00:17:08Ryan, right?
00:17:14You think it's okay to push people around?
00:17:16I don't think so.
00:17:19You think it's okay to push people around?
00:17:21I didn't mean to.
00:17:23I'm sure you didn't mean to.
00:17:25But it doesn't change the fact that you hurt someone.
00:17:28It's not as much about the push as about how you made someone else feel.
00:17:32And you have to ask yourself, are you okay with making other people feel bad?
00:17:36Now, I'm not here to make your life miserable.
00:17:38I'm here to give you a chance to make things right.
00:17:42Start by apologizing to Cecilia.
00:17:45I'm really sorry, Cecilia.
00:17:53That's a good start.
00:17:54But remember, it's not just about saying.
00:17:57It's about showing that you mean it.
00:18:04Now, let's get you something sweet on a rough day.
00:18:14Okay.
00:18:34Thank you for all of that.
00:18:36It's the least I can do.
00:18:40Oh, um, by the way...
00:18:45Are you okay?
00:18:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:18:49This is your schedule for next week.
00:18:52I labeled and organized it for you.
00:18:55Of course.
00:19:03I'm sorry.
00:19:05It's okay.
00:19:07It's okay.
00:19:09It's okay.
00:19:11It's okay.
00:19:14I'm gonna go.
00:19:16I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:18See ya.
00:19:23That was close.
00:19:34Okay, folks.
00:19:35Today's meeting is about the promo strategies for Alston and Amanda's new movie.
00:19:40We need to discuss the relationship contract first.
00:19:44You know, the one about Alston and Amanda faking a romance to promote the film?
00:19:48I'm not doing that.
00:19:50The studio expects this of us.
00:19:52Our personal life is not for sale.
00:19:54Why can't you just admit that you like me?
00:19:57Why can't you just quit making things up in your head?
00:19:59We need a solution that respects Alston's wishes while still promoting the movie.
00:20:03Here are those documents that you need to...
00:20:07You're the delivery girl who's claiming to be in a relationship with Alston.
00:20:11How dare you walk...
00:20:13Enough!
00:20:15How dare you walk...
00:20:17Enough!
00:20:19So, Alston's new assistant is really his lover as well?
00:20:23How convenient.
00:20:25Talk about sleeping your way up.
00:20:27If I don't sign up for Rachel now, it would affect her job.
00:20:31Rachel's not my girlfriend.
00:20:34Rachel's not my girlfriend.
00:20:36We just said that to get you off my back.
00:20:38I knew it.
00:20:40Brad?
00:20:42You want to say something?
00:20:44Alston is contractually obligated to date me.
00:20:46Right, right. I'm on it.
00:20:49The contract says if either of you doesn't follow the relationship clause,
00:20:55you'll lose a big chunk of your box office profits.
00:20:59I'm fully aware.
00:21:00Alston, regardless of your personal life, you're going to have to do what the contract says.
00:21:04Actually, not really.
00:21:09There's a clause in here that could help us out.
00:21:11Like you know anything about contracts?
00:21:13I've read them enough to realize that sometimes there's room for interpretation.
00:21:17Let me see.
00:21:19Oh, right here.
00:21:22It states that Alston is required to engage in public activities to suggest romantic connection with Amanda.
00:21:31It doesn't state exact activities that he needs to do.
00:21:37I see it right here.
00:21:39Public activities.
00:21:41Not spending time together.
00:21:44Meaning, Alston can fulfill his obligations with social media posts and virtual interactions that suggest a connection.
00:21:52So, no need for actual dates or paparazzi posts.
00:21:59You didn't tell me about this.
00:22:01I must have missed that detail.
00:22:04I'm sorry. I thought...
00:22:07This still isn't over.
00:22:10I'm going to find a way to get us together.
00:22:12One way or another.
00:22:18Maybe we should take this elsewhere.
00:22:21Excuse us.
00:22:27I think you just saved me from a PR nightmare.
00:22:30Of course. Just trying to keep a professional...
00:22:33Oh.
00:22:36Haha.
00:22:40Ahem.
00:22:42Seems like we have a really good team here.
00:22:44I'm curious.
00:22:46How did you know about the loophole?
00:22:48It takes a pair of eyes familiar with the law.
00:22:50I was in law school, but then I had to drop out to support my ex-husband.
00:22:55How is that woman getting so much attention from both Alston and Leslie?
00:22:59Tell me about it.
00:23:00She's lagging. Duffer.
00:23:02Holly, the receptionist, told me that Alston got her the job.
00:23:07Don't talk about sleeping your way up.
00:23:10Maybe she's sleeping with me.
00:23:13Maybe.
00:23:16Definitely.
00:23:27Hey, Rachel.
00:23:29Oh, God. Looks like you could use a break.
00:23:31How about grabbing a bite to eat or something?
00:23:35Thank you, but I have a lot of my plate right now, so maybe some other time?
00:23:40Come on. Just a little bite to eat.
00:23:43Look, I know how hard it is to climb up in this agency.
00:23:48I could help you out, you know.
00:23:51I'm good right where I am.
00:23:53What? I'm not as good as Alston is to you?
00:23:55You think you're better than me or something?
00:23:57I'm here to do my job, not play games.
00:23:59You don't want to be an assistant forever, do you?
00:24:02I could help you become an agent.
00:24:05Have a little fun on the side.
00:24:07Get your hands off of me, pig.
00:24:10You are just a dirty whore playing like this.
00:24:21Hey.
00:24:22Oh, hi. I thought you were still in meetings.
00:24:25We finished early.
00:24:29You okay?
00:24:30I was just about to take your files to the casting director.
00:24:33Oh, excuse me.
00:24:49Hey, Alston.
00:24:51Oh, by the way, congratulations on the movie.
00:24:53Cut the crap.
00:24:55What is this about?
00:24:57You know exactly why I'm here.
00:24:59I know what you did to Rachel.
00:25:01Look, Alston, I was just joking around.
00:25:04No harm done.
00:25:06I mean, she's just a whore.
00:25:08That's...
00:25:13Oh, goddammit.
00:25:15God, I thought I was going to sue you.
00:25:18If you even think about retaliating against Rachel or me,
00:25:22I'll make sure you're blacklisted in Hollywood.
00:25:25Don't.
00:25:26You...
00:25:27You wouldn't.
00:25:28You'll never make a comeback.
00:25:30Okay?
00:25:31I get it. I get it.
00:25:36Just wanted you to know that we've taken care of the situation.
00:25:39Alston told me everything.
00:25:41That kind of behavior will not be tolerated here at Silver Lake.
00:25:45What?
00:25:46Look.
00:25:51Rachel?
00:25:52Rachele?
00:25:54Who told him?
00:25:55I'll see you later.
00:25:56I thought you did.
00:25:57You want to be an agent?
00:25:58No.
00:26:00Excuse me.
00:26:11Rachel, what are you doing here?
00:26:25What happened to keeping things professional?
00:26:28Just stop talking.
00:26:54I'm sorry.
00:27:17I have a confession.
00:27:19I think I fell in love with you the first time I saw you.
00:27:25Even after I slapped you?
00:27:28It takes a lot to surprise me nowadays.
00:27:31I can't just keep bringing surprises.
00:27:35So do you.
00:27:37I'm not on set for the next couple days.
00:27:40How about I take you and Cecilia shopping?
00:27:44I'd like that.
00:27:54Ooh, look at this dress.
00:27:57You really have a matching one for us.
00:27:59That's pretty.
00:28:02Excuse me.
00:28:04Can I help you with something?
00:28:06No, thank you.
00:28:07We were just looking around.
00:28:09Yeah, not everyone can afford to shop here,
00:28:11but maybe you'd be more comfortable somewhere else?
00:28:17Come on, let's go, Cece.
00:28:18We don't want to be in a place that's managed by rude people.
00:28:23Oh my gosh, Mr. Cooper, welcome!
00:28:25Um, how can I assist you?
00:28:27Did you guys see anything that you liked?
00:28:29Let's just go somewhere else.
00:28:31Austin, you should have seen the dresses that they have here.
00:28:33They're so pretty.
00:28:34But Mommy said we can't shop at a store that's managed by rude people.
00:28:38Actually, I think we should do the opposite.
00:28:41Let's show these rude people what they're missing.
00:28:46Mr. Cooper, I did not know you'd be here today.
00:28:48I would be honored to serve you.
00:28:50Oh, you won't be helping me.
00:28:51You'll be serving these two lovely ladies here.
00:28:54Of course, I'm Ms...
00:28:56Herman.
00:28:57Ms. Herman.
00:28:59Let me walk you through our latest collection.
00:29:01Um, I think they'll fit you very well.
00:29:05What about these shoes?
00:29:06Oh, I love these ones.
00:29:10And they happen to be my size.
00:29:14Could you please help Ms. Herman try these shoes on?
00:29:17Yeah, sure.
00:29:20It'd be awful if word got out about the lousy service.
00:29:25Of course.
00:29:35Oh!
00:29:37It's not that big of a deal.
00:29:39It's a big deal.
00:29:43It's perfect.
00:29:45Oh.
00:29:47Oh.
00:29:50Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:30:05Les, Les, Les.
00:30:06Leslie, Les.
00:30:07Can you compare Austin to your girlfriend?
00:30:09Austin just got out of a relationship with Hannah Scott.
00:30:11He's focused on his career right now.
00:30:13What about the pics?
00:30:14They're all over social media.
00:30:15Yeah, we spoke to the sales assistant
00:30:17and she said that the woman in the picture is married and has a kid.
00:30:20Is he sleeping with a married woman?
00:30:22The basis for our survey also is a professional who respects everyone involved.
00:30:27He's simply enjoying his single life.
00:30:38You're looking for me?
00:30:43Explain this.
00:30:48I'm so sorry about this photo.
00:30:51This was a private moment.
00:30:53I didn't think anyone was going to take a photo of us.
00:30:56I thought you two were just having a professional relationship.
00:30:59We are, but things are a little different.
00:31:06Do you really care about Austin?
00:31:08Yes, of course.
00:31:09Then you should know that this could hurt his career.
00:31:12He's one of Hollywood's biggest stars right now.
00:31:15He can't be seen in public with a single mom.
00:31:18It's not the image that we worked so hard to cultivate for him.
00:31:24I'm sorry.
00:31:25I won't let it happen again.
00:31:27Thank you, Rachel.
00:31:29I know it isn't easy, but it's for the best.
00:31:46Hey, babe.
00:31:48Hi. I didn't know you were home.
00:31:53Got off work early?
00:31:55Why didn't you tell me you were going to be here?
00:31:58I was just dropping off some costumes.
00:32:02Is everything okay?
00:32:06Yeah, everything's fine.
00:32:08I just have a lot on my plate right now.
00:32:16Did I do something wrong?
00:32:19You seem different.
00:32:22You didn't do anything.
00:32:24I think I just need some space.
00:32:27I've been tiring you out.
00:32:29Do you want to take a few days off?
00:32:31I've been thinking.
00:32:37We should just keep this professional.
00:32:41What do you mean?
00:32:44I thought...
00:32:46I thought we had something more.
00:32:49I need to focus on my job.
00:32:52And make sure I can provide for Cecilia.
00:32:55She's my priority.
00:32:57I can easily provide for the both of you.
00:32:59I don't need your charity.
00:33:01I can make my own money.
00:33:03You think it's for charity?
00:33:05That it wasn't real?
00:33:07Real or not,
00:33:09we just...
00:33:11we don't work.
00:33:14Who knows how long it would last.
00:33:17Let's just end this before it gets too busy.
00:33:22So that's it?
00:33:24We're just going to act like nothing happened between the two of us?
00:33:29Just for the best.
00:33:31If that's what you want.
00:33:39You're welcome.
00:33:54Come on, you're awesome Cooper.
00:33:56You could have any girl.
00:33:57Why are you hooking up with some single mom?
00:33:59It's not just about her being a single mom.
00:34:03She's different than all the other girls that we know.
00:34:06How?
00:34:07She's smart.
00:34:09Resilient.
00:34:10And a great mom.
00:34:12She's been through hell and back.
00:34:14She's still standing strong.
00:34:16I admire that.
00:34:17So it's not just about the chemistry?
00:34:19I mean the chemistry is great too.
00:34:22But she's the only person that hasn't been affected by my fame.
00:34:28It sounds like she's really gotten under your skin.
00:34:32She has.
00:34:35Well, why are you just moping around here?
00:34:38You should go find her and show her your signs.
00:34:44You're right.
00:34:46I can't just give up on her.
00:35:05Great.
00:35:09Need a hand with that?
00:35:12Sure, yeah, thank you, that'd be great.
00:35:15I've seen you around, but I guess we've never officially met.
00:35:19I'm Nate.
00:35:20I just moved into the house across the street.
00:35:22Nice to meet you Nate, I'm Rachel.
00:35:24I'm sorry you had to meet me in such a clumsy moment.
00:35:28Don't worry about it.
00:35:29Everyone has those days.
00:35:31Yeah, tell me about it.
00:35:33Oh, don't worry about it, I'll take that.
00:35:51Thank you so much for this.
00:35:53I didn't realize how much I overdid it until I got home.
00:35:57Happy to help.
00:35:59Where does this go?
00:36:01Where does this go?
00:36:03Oh, don't worry about that, just put it on the counter.
00:36:06I've been meaning to properly introduce myself for a while.
00:36:11Maybe we could get coffee sometime.
00:36:14I'd love to get to know you better.
00:36:16Um...
00:36:19Things are a bit complicated for me right now.
00:36:23Um, I don't think it's the best time.
00:36:28No worries at all.
00:36:30The effort's there if you ever change your mind.
00:36:33Thank you so much for understanding, and thank you for your help.
00:36:38Of course, Rachel.
00:36:40It was my pleasure.
00:36:48I'll see you later, Nate.
00:36:50You too, Rachel.
00:36:52See you around.
00:36:57Bye.
00:37:28Austin! Austin! Over here! Over here!
00:37:31Can you comment on the dating rumor that's been circulating?
00:37:34I'm single and living my best life.
00:37:36Dating's overrated anyway.
00:37:38But what about the rumors linking you to a mystery woman?
00:37:41They're just rumors.
00:37:43I'm just focusing on my career and hanging out with friends.
00:37:46And that's that.
00:37:49Hold this, please.
00:37:52Of course.
00:37:58Amanda! Over here! Amanda!
00:38:06Comment on the dating rumor.
00:38:09Rachel!
00:38:11Didn't you just get dumped?
00:38:14What do you want me to do?
00:38:16Didn't you just get dumped?
00:38:19What do you want me to do?
00:38:27What are you doing?
00:38:30Someone help! This woman's attacking me!
00:38:34Anything. She's just making stuff up.
00:38:36What's going on here?
00:38:38She followed me in here and she's harassing me.
00:38:40She's not supposed to be here.
00:38:42What? I'm Austin Cooper's assistant.
00:38:44I had a badge, but she threw it away.
00:38:47We're going to have to escort you out.
00:38:49But I'm not lying. This is Austin's blazer.
00:38:52Yeah, right. I'm George Clooney. Come on, let's go.
00:38:55Hold on! She's with me.
00:38:57She's not a stalker and she definitely doesn't need any escorting.
00:39:00But Miss Scott said...
00:39:02I don't care what Miss Scott said.
00:39:04Rachel's with me and I can vouch for her.
00:39:06Austin! She's getting...
00:39:08Enough, Amanda!
00:39:10I know what you're doing.
00:39:12It's not going to work.
00:39:15I'm sorry, Mr. Cooper.
00:39:17Our apologies.
00:39:23Austin.
00:39:29Rachel, pull yourself together.
00:39:32You can't have a relationship with Austin.
00:39:43Let's just work, right?
00:39:55I can't let that woman win.
00:40:01Remember that woman who used to follow Austin around?
00:40:05I need to get in contact with her.
00:40:13Sarah, right?
00:40:15Oh my god! Oh my god, Amanda Scott! I can't believe you're real!
00:40:22You love Austin, right?
00:40:27But I know he's with you. I'm so glad.
00:40:30You're such a goddess. I love you both.
00:40:32Of course I'm a goddess. But that's not the point.
00:40:35The point is that Austin and I have broken up.
00:40:41Another woman came between us.
00:40:44That delivery girl? Isn't that just a rumor?
00:40:47No. It's true.
00:40:50Her name is Rachel Herman.
00:40:53Rachel Herman?
00:40:55Sarah, if I can't be with Austin,
00:40:59the next person he's with should be you.
00:41:02Not her. Don't you agree?
00:41:05Sarah, don't give up on Austin.
00:41:10I think you should go after him.
00:41:13You're right. I love him.
00:41:16I can't let anyone else have him. Except you.
00:41:19That's my girl.
00:41:21I won't let you down.
00:41:23Perfect.
00:41:26Rachel, what's up?
00:41:29You look like you have something on your mind.
00:41:33I've been thinking, Leslie.
00:41:36I want to resign.
00:41:38Resign? You're doing such a fantastic job.
00:41:42It's just too difficult working around Austin.
00:41:46I don't know what to do.
00:41:49I don't know what to do.
00:41:52It's just too difficult working around Austin all the time,
00:41:56pretending everything's fine and it's not.
00:41:58I get it. But you know, you've proved yourself to be incredibly capable.
00:42:03Have you considered moving up the ladder?
00:42:07What do you mean?
00:42:10I want to offer you a chance to become a junior talent agent.
00:42:14You won't be Austin's assistant anymore.
00:42:16You'll be working with your own clients.
00:42:19And I know you have the potential, Rachel.
00:42:21I know you can do it.
00:42:23Really?
00:42:24Absolutely. I'll assign some new clients to you.
00:42:28Actually, I have already been networking and keeping my eye out,
00:42:34so I know of a few up-and-coming talents.
00:42:40That's fantastic. I can't wait to meet them.
00:42:45Thank you, Leslie. I won't let you down.
00:42:48What about Austin? How do you want to handle that?
00:42:54I'll tell him in person.
00:43:18Hey.
00:43:26Hey.
00:43:29What's that?
00:43:33These are all your personal items that were left at my place.
00:43:39I figured I should tell you in person.
00:43:45Leslie offered me a position as junior agent,
00:43:50so I'll be working with my own clients and I won't be your assistant anymore.
00:43:57So I'll be working with my own clients and I won't be your assistant anymore.
00:44:03I figured I should just drop your stuff off.
00:44:08Congrats.
00:44:11I'm glad you're working on your career, just like you always wanted.
00:44:15Just like you're doing.
00:44:18Congrats on snatching another nomination.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:32Bye, Austin.
00:44:41Bye.
00:45:00Hi, Rachel.
00:45:03Hi, Rachel.
00:45:11Rachel?
00:45:14Rachel, are you here?
00:45:26Rachel?
00:45:33Rachel, what are you doing here?
00:45:37Sarah?
00:45:39What are you doing here?
00:45:42We talked about this.
00:45:44I have a restraining order against you.
00:45:46You shouldn't be in my house.
00:45:48But Austin, it's been two years already.
00:45:50I'm your biggest fan.
00:45:52I watch every movie, every interview.
00:45:54I just know we're meant to be together.
00:45:56No, it's good to see you again.
00:45:59But you shouldn't be here.
00:46:01But you don't understand.
00:46:02We belong together.
00:46:03You don't belong to this woman.
00:46:05I appreciate your support, but you have crossed a line.
00:46:09Let's get you home safe.
00:46:11First, you need to let Rachel go.
00:46:14No.
00:46:15She stole it from me.
00:46:18Please, Sarah, I have a daughter.
00:46:20You don't deserve him.
00:46:21None of you do.
00:46:23Put the gun down.
00:46:25We can talk about this.
00:46:26No one needs to get hurt.
00:46:28You won't leave him alone.
00:46:29I will make sure you do.
00:46:31Say you love me, Austin, or she will die.
00:46:35I love you, Sarah.
00:46:38I love you, too.
00:46:40Put the gun down.
00:46:42This isn't you.
00:46:46It's right.
00:46:47No, please, Sarah, I have a daughter.
00:46:49No one needs to get hurt today.
00:46:54Oh, my God, Austin.
00:46:56No, I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:46:58Austin, are you okay?
00:47:00I'm so sorry.
00:47:01I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
00:47:07I'm so sorry.
00:47:08I didn't want to hurt anyone.
00:47:12Oh, my God, Austin, are you okay?
00:47:14I'm fine.
00:47:16He's lucky it's just a scratch.
00:47:17The bullet barely grazed his arm.
00:47:19Thank goodness.
00:47:23I'm more worried about Rachel.
00:47:25It's all my fault.
00:47:27What are you talking about?
00:47:29I convinced Rachel to put some distance between you two.
00:47:32I thought it would be better if you weren't involved with a single mom.
00:47:34I didn't realize it would lead to something like this.
00:47:37You did what?
00:47:39I'm sorry.
00:47:41I know I'm wrong.
00:47:42I realize that now.
00:47:44I just hope it's not too late to fix things.
00:47:47Leslie, I appreciate everything you've done for my career.
00:47:52But Rachel is important to me.
00:47:54You had no right to interfere in my personal life.
00:47:56I didn't want anything to jeopardize your career.
00:48:01If you need help smoothing things over, I'm here.
00:48:04I should fix things.
00:48:17Can I talk?
00:48:26Leslie told me about everything.
00:48:28I'm so stupid.
00:48:30I should have never let something like that come between us.
00:48:33I was just trying to do what I thought was best for him.
00:48:37Having you in my life is what's best for me.
00:48:42I care about you, Austin.
00:48:44I always have.
00:48:46What about that guy I saw in your house?
00:48:50Nate?
00:48:52He was just a neighbor that was helping me.
00:48:55He did ask me out, though.
00:48:56What?
00:48:58Don't worry. I turned him down.
00:49:01Let's give this a real shot.
00:49:03No more pretending.
00:49:06I'd love that.
00:49:09Austin, are you dating Rachel Herman?
00:49:12Let's do this.
00:49:14Is she your girlfriend, Austin?
00:49:16Yes.
00:49:18Rachel is my girlfriend.
00:49:22What about your career risk?
00:49:24These words are all the risks.
00:49:26And Austin's not just a celebrity to me.
00:49:30He makes me truly happy.
00:49:37Look at her.
00:49:38Acting all fucking high and mighty with that Hollywood hotshot, Austin Cooper.
00:49:43You know, Damien, this could work in our favor.
00:49:47Yeah, how do you figure that?
00:49:49Rachel ain't the jackpot.
00:49:51She's with a rich Hollywood star now.
00:49:54If we play our cards right, we could squeeze some money out of her.
00:49:59You know, you might be onto something.
00:50:01And she owes us anyway.
00:50:03Especially after what that Austin Cooper did to me last time humiliated me.
00:50:07Exactly.
00:50:09Let's show her she can't just leave us behind and expect to live her fairytale life.
00:50:15Let's make her pay.
00:50:30I'll get it, Mom.
00:50:35Dad?
00:50:36Cece. Long time no see.
00:50:39Hello, little girl.
00:50:44Damien, what are you doing here?
00:50:46You're just in the neighborhood. I thought I'd stop by, see how you two are doing.
00:50:49Catch the chase.
00:50:51Why are you really here?
00:50:53Well, now that you're mingling with Hollywood's elite, I figured you could help your dear ex-husband out.
00:50:58Help you?
00:51:00You mean you want money?
00:51:02I mean, come on, Rachel. You owe me after everything I've done for you.
00:51:05You've done nothing for us, Dad. Mom's always been the one that's been there.
00:51:11Cece, Dad's been busy. You know that.
00:51:13Busy making excuses. They're never around when we need you.
00:51:17You heard her, Damien. We don't need you.
00:51:21This is far from over, Rachel.
00:51:23You'll regret this.
00:51:29Bye-bye.
00:51:40You did amazing, Cece. I learned from the best.
00:51:53Do you think she can just dismiss us like that?
00:51:55What?
00:51:56You know, she obviously forgot who she's dealing with, but she'll remember soon enough.
00:52:02What if we sell some juicy stories about Rachel?
00:52:05Tabloids will eat up anything about Austin Cooper's girlfriend.
00:52:09What are you saying? Make some serious cash and slander her reputation at the same time?
00:52:14Exactly. You're her ex-husband.
00:52:17Surely you can make up some shit and people would still believe you.
00:52:22Let's call the tabloids.
00:52:26Hey, Leslie. What's up?
00:52:28Austin, we have a situation.
00:52:30What kind of situation?
00:52:32I just got a call from a contact at one of the tabloids.
00:52:34Damien is trying to sell fake dirt on Rachel.
00:52:39What a bastard. What did he say?
00:52:41Luckily, they turned him down. They knew it was bogus.
00:52:44Just thought you should know that this could get messy if someone takes the bait.
00:52:48What a piece of shit. He's just messing with Rachel because she stood him up.
00:52:52He's just messing with Rachel because she stood him up.
00:52:54I know, but you need to be careful. He's playing dirty and he's not going to stop.
00:52:59Thanks, Leslie. I'll make sure he regrets messing with her.
00:53:05You don't know who you've messed with, Damien.
00:53:11Ben, you said you've hired a private investigator before.
00:53:17Got the report you wanted? You won't believe what that guy's been up to.
00:53:21Let's see what you got.
00:53:23Damien's a real piece of work. He's been involved in all kinds of shady stuff.
00:53:26Embezzlement, corruption. He's even been seen sleeping with business associates for business contacts.
00:53:32I knew this guy was a scumbag, but this is next level.
00:53:35He's pretty damning. If it gets out, he's ruined.
00:53:38I can't believe Rachel ever had a deal with this guy.
00:53:41You think you'll use it against him?
00:53:47Did you hear back from any of the tabloids yet?
00:53:49No, not yet. Those idiots didn't take the bait, but I'll find someone who will.
00:53:55Keep trying. We'll get what we're after eventually.
00:53:59Always do, babe.
00:54:00Always do, babe.
00:54:16Oh my god! Austin, I'm a huge fan.
00:54:23Ben, Sean, I love your new role in that Atla TV series. You are amazing.
00:54:31What are you doing here, Cooper?
00:54:33We found out about your little scheme to sell fake stories about Rachel.
00:54:37So?
00:54:38There's absolutely nothing that you or your friend can do about it.
00:54:46Take a look inside. It's quite the collection of your extracurricular activities.
00:54:53I don't want to hurt Rachel by airing out your dirty laundry,
00:54:57but if you try to mess with her or me again, I'll have no choice.
00:55:04What are these?
00:55:05Just Damien sleeping with some business associates.
00:55:09You've been cheating on me?
00:55:11Come on, he cheated on his ex-wife with you. You think she's going to stop there?
00:55:15You filthy bastard!
00:55:18Are you serious, Kelly?
00:55:19You filthy bastard!
00:55:21Are you serious, Kelly?
00:55:26You filthy bastard!
00:55:29Are you serious, Kelly?
00:55:32I told you, a man who hits a woman is no man.
00:55:36Well, aren't you guys the knights in shining armor?
00:55:40How about we ditch this loser and go have some fun?
00:55:43Sorry, I'm not really into homewreckers.
00:55:46Fine, I don't need you either.
00:55:49Get out, Damien. I'm done with you and your lies.
00:55:54Come on, Carolina.
00:55:55I said get out!
00:55:57Get out!
00:55:59Get out!
00:56:01Get out!
00:56:03Get out!
00:56:05Get out!
00:56:12You're all going to pay for this.
00:56:26Excuse me, can I get a dirty martini, please?
00:56:32Well, if it isn't the man of the hour.
00:56:36I heard you're desperate, homeless, and a complete wreck.
00:56:42Amanda Scott, what are you doing here?
00:56:45Did you just come to kick me while I'm down?
00:56:47Actually, you have something I want.
00:56:55And what would a Hollywood A-lister like you possibly want from a guy like me?
00:57:01Unless maybe you want to go back to your place and, you know...
00:57:05Ew, you wish.
00:57:09I will pay you handsomely to abduct Rachel and hurt her.
00:57:17I will pay you handsomely to abduct Rachel and hurt her.
00:57:23You can even demand a ransom from Austin and get twice the money.
00:57:26Then you can go anywhere in the world with that kind of cash.
00:57:31So you're telling me I don't have to pay alimony to that bitch anymore?
00:57:35Exactly.
00:57:37Two birds with stone.
00:57:39I'm in.
00:57:41But you better hold up your end of the bargain.
00:57:43Don't worry, Damien, just don't screw it up.
00:57:45Cecilia's in summer camp, Rachel's home alone.
00:57:50I know what to do.
00:57:51What are you getting out of this, anyway?
00:57:54Austin, of course.
00:58:21You're welcome.
00:58:38Did you miss me?
00:58:40Damien, what are you doing here?
00:58:42You've forgiven me what I wanted.
00:58:44Get the fuck out of my house.
00:58:52Hello?
00:58:55Help! Somebody help me!
00:59:00Thank God you're finally awake.
00:59:02I was starting to get bored.
00:59:05Damien, let me go.
00:59:10Do you really still think you have the upper hand?
00:59:13I think it's time we make a phone call.
00:59:15Rachel?
00:59:17Oh, this isn't Rachel, but I have her.
00:59:23Rachel?
00:59:25Oh, this isn't Rachel, but I have her.
00:59:28And you're going to pay me exactly what I'm looking for if you ever want to see her again.
00:59:32Let her go.
00:59:34Austin!
00:59:36Damien!
00:59:38Damien!
00:59:40Damien!
00:59:42Damien!
00:59:44Damien, don't listen to him! Please call the police!
00:59:46Shut up!
00:59:48Damien, if you touch her again, you will regret it.
00:59:54Oh, Austin. You're going to give me exactly what I'm asking for if you ever want to see her again.
01:00:01You have 30 minutes. Make a decision.
01:00:03Make a decision.
01:00:12Ben, what do you got?
01:00:14The private investigator came through. We've got the location.
01:00:17It's that old warehouse on the outskirts of town.
01:00:19I'm on my way.
01:00:27It's all set. The cops will be here soon. We've got to move fast.
01:00:30Let's do it.
01:00:34Rachel.
01:00:36How'd you find us?
01:00:39You're done, Damien. That's it.
01:00:59Rachel.
01:01:04Austin.
01:01:19She's probably dehydrated. We need to take a look at her. She needs to get to the hospital.
01:01:26I'm so sorry, Rachel. I should have protected you better.
01:01:31This is all my fault.
01:01:33Austin, don't blame yourself. You saved me. That's all that matters.
01:01:40I promise I will protect you for the rest of my life.
01:01:44You and Cecilia.
01:01:46I know you will.
01:01:51I love you.
01:01:53I love you too.
01:01:57Thank you for being here with us.
01:02:00Mom!
01:02:02Hi, honey.
01:02:04I was so worried.
01:02:06Don't worry. There's nothing to be worried about. Everything's okay.
01:02:10Is Dad a bad guy?
01:02:14Is Dad a bad guy?
01:02:19No. That's not a bad guy.
01:02:21That's not a bad guy.
01:02:24Sometimes people can make bad decisions when they're lost and unsure of what to do with their lives.
01:02:35Cecilia, let's go get some ice cream. Your mom could use some rest.
01:02:40Yes, please.
01:02:42Bye.
01:02:51I love you.
01:02:53I love you.
