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