Short filmTranscript
00:00Control. In this town, it's Oxygen. Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client, but once he's sober and on time, I publish his stream.
00:23For a star, priming is everything.
00:26Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:33Stand tall. This is your life.
00:41Knowing your handiwork?
00:43Late as usual.
00:45Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:47Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent. The guy I've known longer than anyone. Dependable, intelligent, and annoyingly charming.
00:56Nice dress.
00:58Nice bowtie. Just needs a little adjustment here.
01:03How's our golden boy? Is he behaving himself, or are we in for his enjoying taste?
01:08He's playing nice. Give it an hour.
01:14What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:18Or less.
01:22Well, that escalated quickly.
01:23Stay close. We need to handle this before it explodes.
01:27Damage control. Got it.
01:30What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:37Niles? What happened?
01:40This loser shoved this camera in my face. He's on my bad side. I didn't even touch him. He's being dramatic.
01:46You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras? We need to fix this.
01:49Don't say anything.
01:54Let's not make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. We can solve this quietly. How about $1,000 at the bureau?
02:02$5,000. I'll pay along with it.
02:05Fine. Deal.
02:07You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:11It'll be fine.
02:13Oh, man! I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:23So sweet.
02:25Great work, man.
02:32That was impressive.
02:34In Hollywood, connections are currency. Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out. But I keep them shining.
02:48Ethan?
02:50What are you doing here?
02:53Nothing.
02:54Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
02:56Your schedule's been moved around a little bit.
02:58I'm sorry.
03:00It's fine.
03:02It's fine.
03:04It's fine.
03:06It's fine.
03:08It's fine.
03:10It's fine.
03:12It's fine.
03:14It's fine.
03:16It's fine.
03:18It's fine.
03:20It's fine.
03:21Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:23Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
03:25There's a last-minute addition of potential new client waiting.
03:27Liam Sterling.
03:29Liam Sterling?
03:31That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:33He's looking to revamp his image.
03:35Interesting.
03:37When does he arrive?
03:51Mr. Sterling.
03:53Welcome to Harrington PR.
03:55I am the marketing director.
03:57Call me Liam.
04:02I've heard a lot about you.
04:04I'd say you're the best one to visit.
04:06I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do.
04:08But flattery won't get you anywhere.
04:10I'm not a flatterer.
04:12I'm not a flatterer.
04:14I'm not a flatterer.
04:16I'm not a flatterer.
04:18I'm not a flatterer.
04:19I'm not a flutterer.
04:21I'm not a-
04:23I'm not a flatterer.
04:24I'm not a flatterer.
04:25So, that's the stuff.
04:28Yeah, I think a lot about what I do,
04:31but flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:32No discounts necessary.
04:35I'm here because I need a real change.
04:37Go on.
04:39I'm sick of being the guy for sure this morning, Ms. Harrington.
04:41I mean, the heartthrob thing.
04:43It's been fun.
04:45But that's not who I am.
04:46I want substance.
04:47Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:51Alright, we'll have to change your public persona.
04:55No more sexy magazine covers, and no more feeding into that heart-throb image.
04:59We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor,
05:03and you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
05:07Taking roles with depth, range.
05:11That's exactly what I want. I've been waiting for somebody to tell me
05:15to say no to the next rom-com where I spend more time in the gym than with a script.
05:19Well, consider those two your questions.
05:23But this is a partnership. You'll have to trust me.
05:27100%.
05:31I trust you, but you're the person I've been looking for.
05:39We'll make it happen.
05:43Brooke?
05:47Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:51You weren't interrupting anything.
05:55Is this your boyfriend?
05:59God, no. This is my close friend, Ethan.
06:03Nice to meet you. I'm Liam Sterling.
06:07No, you are. I work closely with your agent. I brought you a coffee. I'll just sleep with Margaret.
06:11He's a nice guy.
06:15You sure he's not your boyfriend?
06:19I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
06:23I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
06:27I'm sure it will.
06:31I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:41Hello?
06:45Who's there?
06:49I'm armed.
06:53Don't shoot.
06:57Liam?
07:01I thought I'd surprise you.
07:05With wine and flowers?
07:09I have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:13I mean, I guess this works.
07:21So, what's the occasion?
07:25Some say I'm cutthroat.
07:29Do they? You don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:33Appearance is maybe deceiving.
07:37Here I am with you.
07:41Well, someone's got to keep you out of trouble.
07:45Maybe. Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:49And what would that be?
07:53When the real chemistry's right here. Between us.
07:57I don't know what you're talking about.
08:01Sure you don't.
08:05So, are we going to do something about this?
08:09Or are you just going to sit here enjoying the wine?
08:13Okay. I'll let you get some rest.
08:17No.
08:21Stay a little longer.
08:25I'll stay as long as you want.
08:35Okay.
08:47This is so unprofessional.
08:51I'm not going to fire you. Are you going to fire me?
08:55No.
08:59Shit.
09:03Shit.
09:07No good morning kiss?
09:11I don't think so.
09:15Let's say it was a mistake.
09:19Fun, but still a mistake.
09:23Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:27I'm sorry for not helping you, you know.
09:31You were great last night.
09:35Thank you. Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:39If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career.
09:43Not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
09:47Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:51Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:55Actors live with their publicists.
09:59The sooner we move past this, the sooner that I can get you and Lena
10:03and your career moving forward. Sound good?
10:07No.
10:11But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:15Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:19Yes. That's what's best.
10:23Whatever you say.
10:27I'm sorry.
10:45Last night was amazing.
10:49You know that guy at the after party? He's a bit older. A screenwriter?
10:53Oh, come on.
10:57An old screenwriter? You are Sophie Miller. You can do so much better.
11:01I know that look, Brooke. You're up to something. What makes you think that?
11:05You love playing matchmaker. Admit it. You're trying to set me up.
11:09Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
11:13You can be one of them.
11:17I'm happy being single.
11:21Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love lives.
11:25You've never thought about it?
11:29Of course I have.
11:33But then I remember all the drama that comes with it, and...
11:37I like the way my life is. Dramatically.
11:41I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
11:45Alright, drama queen.
11:49We have a party to get ready for.
11:57This is quite the party.
12:01It's one of the best parties I've ever been to.
12:09So, whose party is this anyway?
12:13Dylan Parker's? You were serious about setting me up.
12:17When do I say anything just for fun? I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
12:21You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:25Trust me. You'll thank me later.
12:29Hi, Dylan. Meet Sophie.
12:33Yeah, no, I know Sophie. We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
12:37How could I forget?
12:41Why are you dressed like this?
12:45Sophie's the real star here. You guys should get to know each other.
12:49Alright, Sophie. Let's grab a drink.
12:53Find a quiet place to chat.
13:01What the?
13:05What the? Oh my god, your dress!
13:09Sponsor! Watch where you're walking.
13:13Who the hell are you? Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:17You better pay for this. Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single flick.
13:21I'm sorry. I'll cover the thing for you.
13:29Oops! Accident.
13:33I'm sorry. Your ugly thrift store dress looks even worse.
13:37I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
13:41Wait, is that Liam Sterling? I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:45Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
13:49And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
13:53She's an A-list publicist. Ruining reputations is her job.
13:57So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
14:01Take this. Thank you.
14:05I didn't expect to see you here. I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:09You looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:13Depends what you had in mind.
14:17A girl who's smart, strong, independent.
14:21Maybe she runs her own business. There's a way around Hollywood.
14:25Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:29Almost impossible.
14:35Actually, there is someone that you should meet.
14:39Who's that?
14:43Lena Turner. She's one of my clients. She's one of the best directors in the business.
14:47I'll introduce you two. It could be good for you.
14:51Is that so?
14:55Meet Liam Sterling.
14:59It's so great to meet you. I've admired you and your work for years.
15:03I think you two should work together.
15:07We are working on a new direction for Liam. Something more serious.
15:11That would be amazing. I'll leave you two to chat.
15:15Thanks for the introduction. Anytime.
15:23Well, that was fast.
15:27Of course.
15:35Wow. You look beautiful.
15:39Ethan, shouldn't you be holed up in an office somewhere working late as usual?
15:43Don't look so bummed. Agents get invited to these things too. It's not always just the pretty people.
15:47Speaking of pretty people...
15:51You look jealous.
15:55Why would I be jealous?
15:59Speaking of jealous, what made you run out so quickly this morning?
16:03I didn't want to get in the way of you and... what was it? Liam.
16:07He's just a client, Ethan.
16:11You alright?
16:15Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:19Let's get out of here.
16:23Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:27Alright. Whisk me away, then.
16:31That's the spirit.
16:35Who would have thought that ten years later we'd be so successful?
16:39I knew we wouldn't.
16:43I didn't. When we came out here right after high school, we had zero plan. You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:47Hey, don't make fun of me. You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:51Who could forget?
16:55People change. They grow up.
16:59I don't think you're that different. Liar.
17:03Hey, take that back, okay? I'm super different.
17:07I still feel the same way with you as I did when we were kids.
17:11And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:15Uh, um...
17:19Well, you're infuriating.
17:23And you're like sunshine when it wets you.
17:27I'll fuck you up, bro!
17:31I'll fuck you up, bro!
17:35Is that our actual movie guy? Yeah, it's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:39Niles! Niles, stop! Everyone, stop filming! Move, Liam.
17:43He's getting away.
17:47Oh, my God. Are you okay?
17:51You fucking got me, huh?
17:55Well, he's not gonna get very far.
18:03Let me see it.
18:07It's broken. I know it.
18:11What do you think?
18:15I don't think it's broken.
18:19I think you're gonna be just fine.
18:23You're always taking care of me.
18:27Well, someone has to. You always get yourself into trouble.
18:31Why are you always the one who has my back?
18:35I guess you mean a lot to me. That's why.
18:39You sure it's not just because you like control?
18:43I might be a control freak, but that's not why I stick around.
18:47Then why do you?
19:01We can't.
19:05Why not?
19:09Friends don't do this for kids.
19:13I didn't realize friendship had so many roles.
19:17Hey, you're loopy, and I'm tipsy.
19:21How many of those pills did you even take?
19:25I don't know. Maybe two. Why should I take more?
19:29The dosage is one.
19:33I'm gonna kick your ass right now.
19:37Okay.
19:41Time to get to sleep before anything gets too crazy.
19:45What's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:49Goodnight, Ethan.
19:53Oh, my God, Niles!
19:57I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:01Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:05Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:09Real warm reception. What's the deal?
20:13Whatever. Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:17Niles, I'm going to have to let you go.
20:21I'm going to have to let you go. I'm sorry.
20:25You're a liability.
20:29You're joking, right? You hit me in the face.
20:33I would have hit anyone in the face. It wasn't because it was you. I was in the moment.
20:37That's almost worse. Way worse.
20:41No, this is bullshit. Okay? I hired you as my publicist to deal with this, okay?
20:45So make it go away. I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:49I make brand deals and magazine covers. I make them movie stars. I can't make criminals look good.
20:53This is so unfair. Ethan, tell her she's being insane.
20:57I'm dropping you, too, Niles.
21:01The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal. No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:05Now, fuck this. Fuck you, and fuck you, too.
21:09Okay? You're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:13Well, he took that one.
21:17You're going to pay for my nose job if this doesn't heal, right?
21:21Your nose is fine. Perfect, even.
21:25Mind dropping me at the office? You have a card.
21:29I'm all hopped up on pain medication? Trust me, you don't want me to.
21:33Okay.
21:37Are you sure you're good to go, Evan?
21:41I am more than good. I am incredible.
21:45Hey, seriously, how many times do we miss the team?
21:49Tell them you fought an action star. They'll understand.
21:53That's actually really badass of you to say that.
22:05It's not my problem anymore.
22:15This is Brooke?
22:19You might hold all the power in Hollywood right now, but I'm coming for you, Brooke Harrington.
22:23Who is this?
22:27Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult if you don't start to play nice.
22:39Oh, so cute.
22:43You were so right.
22:47That's good. I told you so.
22:51Yeah, but there's one tiny red flag. He kept bringing you up.
22:55Me? Why?
22:59Don't know. It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:03Dylan and I? No, no, no. He's nothing more than a client.
23:07Okay, I just didn't want to step on any toes. I really liked him.
23:11Are we still going to the launch party tonight?
23:15I think I'm just going to sit this one out. It's been a lot lately.
23:19Saw Niles mugshot. Not his most flattering look.
23:23Definitely not.
23:27Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:31Yeah, that's a good idea. You guys should walk the carpet together.
23:35So soon? Everyone does it. It's Halloween.
23:39Brooke, you came.
23:43This is crazy. I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:47Well, they had another actress, but she had a total meltdown, so Dylan just threw my name into the ring and they booked me.
23:55Why are you thanking me?
23:59Well, if I would have never met Dylan, then I would have never booked this movie. You're basically better than my agent.
24:03I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:07Speaking of agents...
24:11Um, Ethan, Rep, Dylan, and Parker.
24:15You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:19It's work. The usual. Dealing with Niles stuff. You know how it is.
24:23Just work. He's cute, though.
24:27I'm serious. It's nothing more than that. He's like my oldest friend.
24:31Whatever you say. But you have to introduce me to him soon. I need a new agent and I've heard great things about him.
24:35He is the greatest. Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer. Wish me luck.
24:39You are going to do great.
24:43You finally showed up.
24:47Well, I don't want to miss it all, but how's it going?
24:51It depends. You come here to check on Sophie or me.
24:55It better be me.
24:59Well, of course. How's set?
25:03It's been a long hours. A lot of takes. But Sophie, she is just killing it.
25:07I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star, her acting definitely would.
25:11I always knew she had it in her.
25:15I've been chatting with some of the producers and they're buzzing about the early dailies. Sophie's performance is top notch.
25:19You should take her on as a client, Ethan. Her agent sucks.
25:23Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me, don't you?
25:27You know, between you and me, you're the real secret weapon here, bro.
25:33I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:37You might as well be. You know you could be in charge of this.
25:41Alright, well, if you're going to take all the credit, I'm going to go make some calls, but don't let this guy sweet talk you too much, alright?
25:45Yeah, I did want to chat with you.
25:49Run some things by you. Some PR stuff. Alone.
25:57I'm kind of busy right now, but what did you have in mind?
26:01Your PR strategy is good. I just feel like I could use a little more...
26:05personal attention.
26:09You have weekly check-ins on a film you want.
26:13You need some one-on-one time to get it. I mean, you are impressive.
26:17Um, Dylan, let's focus on your career.
26:21That's what we're here for, right?
26:25I think we could make magic together. Don't you?
26:31I need to do this.
26:35Who is this?
26:39Have you realized your wrongs?
26:43Wrongs?
26:47What are you talking about?
26:51The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore back to glory, the safer you'll be.
26:55Niles, is this you? Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
26:59Niles, that's exactly what you would say if it was you.
27:03This isn't fucking Niles. Then who are you?
27:07Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:11And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:15Have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:19No, just the regular actress being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:23What's wrong?
27:27Psycho fan is trying to get back at me for firing Niles.
27:31Back at you? How? I don't know yet. They're being really vague, and it's really annoying.
27:35Just block their number.
27:39I tried, and then they called me back on a new one.
27:43You actually seem kind of worried. Do you want me to do something about it?
27:47What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:51I am a big, strong guy. I can beat him up, or give him a chokehold.
27:55You're acting like I didn't just watch Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
27:59No, I think you were thinking of someone else.
28:03Yeah, Frank.
28:07Want me to hang out with you for the day and keep you company?
28:11No, I have to get downtown for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:15But I'll let you know if I get any more creepy calls.
28:19You're going to be okay.
28:23Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:27I forgot you were a hugger. Thanks, though.
28:35Sexier! Give me sexy, sexy man!
28:39No! The camera's appointed to here!
28:43How's everything going?
28:47Not well. They're not interested in the new Liam Sterling.
28:51What is a sexy, sexy man?
28:55It's okay, I'll take care of this.
28:59Hi, Enzo. I'm Brooke, Liam's publicist.
29:03So, we are going for a new direction with Liam.
29:07More serious, less sexy. So, why don't we try this?
29:11The magazine wants a sexy, shirtless, sweaty, sensual...
29:15Unfortunately, that is not what I agreed upon with the creative team.
29:19We're either going to have to use the suit, or you're going to have to find a different cover star.
29:23At the last minute?
29:27This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:31Fine. Suit, change, hurry!
29:43This is way cool.
29:47So fun to see him in the zone.
29:51He invited me to see him in action.
29:55He really is a sweetheart.
29:59It's not often you meet a guy that handsome that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:03Okay, great job!
30:07Bravo!
30:11Made it.
30:15The suit worked out nicely.
30:19Yeah, thanks again for that.
30:23I don't know what I'd do without you.
30:27What time is the dinner?
30:31Yeah, it's at seven. We're going to go check out the new sushi spot on Sunset.
30:35I heard the sashimi is to die for. Liam got us reservations.
30:39Super cool. That sounds fun.
30:43Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke. Liam is amazing.
30:47Of course. That's my job. You guys have fun.
30:51Sashimi! Thanks, girl.
30:55What the hell are you doing?
30:59He's your client. You don't like him.
31:03You're a professional. Stop.
31:13You're a strong, independent woman.
31:17You don't need him.
31:21Good morning, Brooke.
31:25We have back-to-back meetings today, and Liam Sterling is on the line. He said it's urgent.
31:29Can you tell him I'll call him back?
31:37We position Liam as a modern, thoughtful, leading man.
31:41He's pushed past this heartthrob phase, and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:45His next role will be key in redefining his public image.
31:49I like it, but don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:53The client base may not be ready. They want apps.
31:57Don't worry.
32:01I have a plan for that. As you can see here...
32:09There you are. I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:17I've been in meetings. What are you doing in my office?
32:21Margaret, Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:25We have to talk about the other night.
32:29Liam, we can't. Not now.
32:33We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
32:37Okay.
32:49The other day was intense, but we need to keep things professional.
32:53You have a rebrand to focus on, and I have a company to run.
32:57I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:01And I don't want that either. But we need to cool it for both of our sakes.
33:07Okay.
33:15So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:19We're hard-launching on social media.
33:23That's great, Soph. You seem happy.
33:27Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:31People are saying you and Liam Sterling are in a thing.
33:35What? You know how people talk. I told them it's ridiculous,
33:39but you two do spend a lot of time together.
33:43Liam is just a client, nothing else. Right. LA people love to gossip.
33:47Anyway, I think Dylan is really serious about us.
33:55Who was that?
33:59Just work. Always something.
34:03You said tonight, right? I have that huge scene.
34:07I won't miss it.
34:33Cut!
34:37Cut!
34:41Dylan, I said cut! Stop punching!
34:45I didn't even realize Lena was directing this film.
34:49What if she's not even your client?
34:53It's hard to keep track of lately.
34:57Are you okay? You're not your usual obnoxiously organized self lately.
35:01Okay, I'm going to tell you this just because I trust you not to repeat it,
35:05but I am beyond overwhelmed.
35:09Did you get any word on Zoya's calls?
35:13Yeah, I got a message today, and that on top of work and some other stuff
35:17that I'm dealing with.
35:21I'll take you to sleep and get some rest. I can't.
35:25I promised Sophie I'd stay for her scenes. She's nervous.
35:29She's lucky to have you.
35:33She's like a little sister to me. Plus, if I left now,
35:37I wouldn't get any sleep anyway, so...
35:41Do you want me to stay over? Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone. Like a sleepover.
35:45That actually sounds really nice, Ethan. Thanks.
35:49I owe you.
35:53Moving on to the next scene!
35:59Dylan, what are you doing here?
36:03It's a woman's dressing room. You know what I'm doing.
36:07I literally don't.
36:11You know you want to see what it is. You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:15You want to see Dylan fucking
36:19work. No! Ew!
36:23I don't want any part of you, Dylan. You're my client. I'm your publicist.
36:27Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
36:31Yeah. Yeah, she's chill as fuck.
36:35Then act like it. Because she really likes you.
36:39And if you're not serious about her, it's going to hurt.
36:43I'm only dating her for the publicity. I'm going to drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out,
36:47and then you and I can finally work it out. You and I?
36:51We are never going to be together. I'm not even remotely interested in you.
36:55Dylan, I'm dropping you as a client.
36:59Motherfucker. What the fuck, babe?
37:07Brooke, did you see that? This was so much fun.
37:11Is everything okay? I'm just not feeling too well.
37:15Oh, no. I hope you're not coming down with something.
37:19Probably just overworked. Go home. Get some rest.
37:23I'm positive. I really appreciate you coming, but I need you well-rested
37:27so that we can party this weekend, okay? Okay, fair.
37:31But do you have a ride home? Dylan's driving me. I'll see you.
37:35Ready to get out of here?
37:39Beyond ready.
37:43I'll just drive. Let's get out of here.
37:47All right.
37:51The windows and doors are locked, and the alarm system's on.
37:55Thanks for checking. You're safe.
37:59Of course, leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank,
38:03or it's Niles being childish again.
38:07I really think so. I do.
38:11It's okay to be scared. I'm here for you.
38:15Thank you. I don't know how much you mean to me.
38:19Good night. Can you please sleep here with me?
38:23Sure. Positive.
38:27I'll always be here for you.
38:31Good night.
38:47Can't sleep?
38:51No. You either?
38:55There's something that's been on my mind.
38:59What is it?
39:11I've wanted this for so long.
39:15Me too. More than anything.
39:19I love you.
39:23I love you.
39:27I love you.
39:31I love you.
39:35I love you.
39:39I love you.
39:43I love you.
39:47I love you.
40:07Good morning. I made the coffee unbearably strong, just the way you like it.
40:11Amazing.
40:15Huh? After what?
40:19From a full night's sleep?
40:23Oh, yeah. I slept great. Thanks for staying with me. I finally felt a little safe.
40:27No problem. Plus, your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:31Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:35Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
40:39Ethan? You need a towel.
40:45Um, I forgot to...
40:57Oh, wait. We stuck the towels.
41:01Thanks. Wanna jump in with me?
41:05Shut up.
41:09Um, I should probably go get that.
41:13I'll be quick.
41:21Liam, what are you doing here?
41:25You've been ignoring my calls.
41:29We're supposed to be distancing.
41:33No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:37You're being really weird.
41:41You can't see us together. There's already rumors swirling.
41:45So let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:49No one has to know that.
41:53So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:57So what if I want to see you, Brooke? I don't care. I like being around you, and I want to explore our connection.
42:05I can't do this.
42:09Your showerhead's incredible.
42:13Gotta guarantee your designer's contact info.
42:17Yeah, they're great. I'll give it to you.
42:21Who's at the door?
42:25Um, just some girls selling cookies.
42:29Do you want to get breakfast?
42:33No, I'm just gonna head to the office early.
42:37I'm just not hungry.
42:41See you later.
42:49So why'd you call me here? You want to offer me representation again?
42:53I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:57I want to know why you're leaving me these insane messages.
43:01This isn't for me.
43:05Tell the truth. I won't be mad.
43:09I didn't send you this.
43:13What about the creepy voice calls? The voice changer didn't work on me.
43:17Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:21Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you, but I have a business to run, okay?
43:25Did you do this or not?
43:29Brooke, let me tell you something. I have court dates, no movie deals, and two excessively large mansions
43:33that I have to figure out how to pay for to keep out of foreclosure.
43:37So no, I didn't have time to deliver pranks that you're dealing with.
43:41Okay. Do you believe him? I do.
43:45So can I go, or are you gonna try to accuse me of something else I didn't do?
43:49No, you can go. Sorry.
43:53We should call the cops, right?
43:57Get an investigation going? No, not yet.
44:01Okay.
44:05The customer you're trying to reach is not available.
44:09Please call back.
44:13Hi, I questioned Niles.
44:17Please call me ASAP.
44:21Sophie, what's going on? I got your text.
44:25What's the emergency?
44:29He broke up with me, Brooke.
44:33What? When? When did this happen?
44:37After our last scene. He said it was because of you that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:41What? I would never say that.
44:45He's lying.
44:49Then why would he blame you?
44:53I don't know. I guess he's using me as an excuse.
44:57I feel so stupid. I really liked him.
45:01We even got these matching bracelets. You're not stupid, okay?
45:05Dylan messed up. You deserve better.
45:09Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me? I swear, okay? He's just avoiding accountability. He's a douche.
45:13How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:17Sophie, you're a professional.
45:21Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:25You're right. Yeah. Okay.
45:29One second. It's Ethan.
45:33Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:37Sophie and I have a meeting. You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:41Busy day.
45:45What's wrong? Are you okay?
45:49Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:53I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you want to reschedule the meeting? Because I totally understand.
45:57No, no, no. Absolutely not. I've been waiting to talk to you.
46:01Great. So have I.
46:05Um, Brooke, I will see you after I wrap here tonight. Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:09Yeah, sure.
46:13Call me back whenever you can, okay? It's really important.
46:17Yeah, okay.
46:25What's up, guys? Big deal.
46:29Damn. You fucking liar. What are you talking about?
46:33Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:37You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me. I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:41I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:45I didn't lie to her.
46:49Okay. I lied. I lied. I'm sorry.
46:53I'm going to apologize to her tonight, okay?
46:57You trying to kill my star?
47:01He's a fool when stars clatter. Can we talk? In private?
47:05Wow, nice outfit.
47:09Sit down.
47:13I know what's wrong. Did something happen on set?
47:17You tell me. Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on, just not on my set.
47:21I don't understand.
47:25I'm talking about you and William. You introduced us, pushed us together, and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:29No, it's not like that.
47:33Everyone's talking about it. You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
47:37You think I'm dumb?
47:41Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen. There is something going on between us, but...
47:45What? You didn't expect to fall into his bed?
47:49You set us up like pawns in your game and now you want him for yourself?
47:53No, I truly wanted you two to be happy. You don't care for me.
47:57You only care about your selfish matchmaking games. You didn't care what this would do to me.
48:01I'm sorry. You're sorry you got caught.
48:05Luckily, I'm over him. He really is just a shallow, pretty boy.
48:09Even with your shitty PR, we're great. We're done.
48:13Get out.
48:31Um, Sophie, I said seven. It's almost eight.
48:35Sorry, we got distracted.
48:39Is that so?
48:43He's so funny. You have to tell Brooke about the story of your dog in the summer house.
48:47You mean my dog eating the lasagna that his mom made for dinner?
48:51I know that one.
48:55It was there.
48:59Hey, can you go stir the pot on the stove?
49:03I have to talk to Ethan about a shared client.
49:07You made dinner? On it.
49:11Um, so I talked to Niles and he swear it wasn't him.
49:15I don't know if we should believe him, but...
49:19I mean, I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind. What do you think?
49:23I don't know, Brooke. Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:27I'm not good. I'm an actor.
49:31No, he's not, but clearly you are.
49:35What are you talking about? I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke. I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:39Soph? Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:43We have a lot in common, okay? She sees me, Brooke.
49:47Sees you? What does that even mean?
49:51I was just throwing all of a sudden this flew through the window.
49:55It wasn't me, I swear.
49:59What is it?
50:03I knew it. Knew what?
50:07What are you talking about?
50:11Oh my god.
50:15I want to see.
50:19I lied. You lied to me about the rumors. You said it was nothing.
50:23I didn't mean to. I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:27You weren't trying to lie to me. We're supposed to tell each other everything. We're best friends.
50:31I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:35So what was I, Brooke? Just a backup?
50:39Someone to keep around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:43No, it wasn't like that. You knew exactly what you were doing.
50:47I'm going to admit how we felt about each other. More than friends.
50:51Ethan, I didn't
50:55mean to hurt you. You hurt us both, Brooke.
50:59I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
51:03I know. I didn't want it to be real. I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
51:07Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:11I thought we had something, Brooke. Can't you feel it too?
51:15You can't talk about what you want. You can't keep playing with people's emotions. They're not a game.
51:19No matter how much you'd like them to be.
51:23I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:27Ethan, I don't understand. I thought we were just friends. I didn't mean...
51:31Bullshit. After all these years, I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
51:35You are special to me.
51:39Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
51:43Oh, no!
51:47Did my brick end up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
51:51Are you happy now?
51:55Not even close. You'll pay.
51:59Go to hell.
52:03I said go to hell!
52:07Whoa, wait. What did I do?
52:11Liam? I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
52:15Look, can I come over? I want to see you.
52:19Fine.
52:23Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
52:27It's not a rumor if it's true.
52:31It's a shame things between us have to cause so much drama.
52:35I can craft and control all of my clients' public images.
52:39I can turn any story around. Make bad press good.
52:43Shape the way Hollywood sees them.
52:47But when it comes to people I actually care about, I'm powerless.
52:51I have this wall over everything.
52:55Everything's controlled. It looks easily managed.
52:59But no, in reality, it's such a mess.
53:03I've spent so long creating these perfect lives
53:07for everyone else.
53:11I think it's just time for me to be honest about mine.
53:15You know, you can control everybody else's image.
53:19But when it comes to your own life, sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
53:23I should have understood the consequences for everyone.
53:27For you. For Lena. For Ethan.
53:31You know, Ethan's not totally innocent in all this either.
53:35I should have just been honest with him. Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:39You won't lose me. To be determined.
53:43Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control. Just let things happen naturally.
53:51Liam, I'm sorry.
53:55You love Ethan? Yeah.
53:59I do. I understand.
54:03And for what it's worth, I think you should go get what you want.
54:07You're not upset? I am.
54:11But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:19Hi, Ethan.
54:23Surprise, Brooke. It's you. Where's Ethan?
54:27Ethan and Sophie are with me. Let's just say they're safe for now.
54:31You have Sophie too? Where are you?
54:35Oh, you'll know soon enough. But here's the thing. If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:39I'll do anything. Check your texts.
54:47Let's go. I'll drive.
54:51Wait. If things got out of control, you need to run.
54:55Okay? This doesn't involve you.
54:59I'm not leaving your side.
55:03Okay.
55:07Hello?
55:15Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:19I'm so glad you could make it. Let them go.
55:23Thanks for bringing another famous face to me. I'll make a great addition to my kill team.
55:27No one's getting killed tonight.
55:31Liam! No!
55:35Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:43Niles, you swore that it wasn't you.
55:47I'm a fucking actor. All we do is lie.
55:51You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power,
55:55you really are just another stupid, stupid Hollywood girl.
55:59You're insane. Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
56:03What do I want? I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:07You think you're untouchable.
56:11PR queen. Always in control.
56:15But, Brooke, you're just like the rest of us.
56:19Dispose of me.
56:23This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:27Ego? No, Brooke, this is about your company.
56:31Liam, Sophie, Ethan.
56:35They stole your attention from me, but I'm taking it back.
56:39You're wrong, Niles. PR isn't about power.
56:43And I tried to help you, but you're Beyoncé.
56:47Help? Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:51It's about control. Bending people to your will.
56:55Do you really think that you can play puppet master forever?
57:07You're quick, but not quick enough.
57:11Go to hell. I don't think so.
57:21Show's over, Niles.
57:25I'm a fucking movie star. You can't kill me. I'm in control.
57:41Brooke, you really kicked his ass. Oh, my God, you fucked him up.
57:45Brooke, I'm so sorry. No, this is all my fault.
57:49Brooke, I have wasted the last ten years of my life
57:53hiding the way I felt about you, but I don't want to hide anymore.
57:57I am so desperately in love with you. I don't want to spend another day of my life without you by my side.
58:01I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:05Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay? I'm in love with you, okay?
58:09Okay, and I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
58:21I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:25I love you, Brooke Harrington.
58:29Guys, I'm still tied up.
58:33No, it's cool. I got it.
58:37Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:41Hey, can I ask you something? Anything.
58:45I look, like, really heroic, right? I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:49Yes, um, it was fair.
58:53What do you say we get out of here?
58:57That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:01Guys, where's Niles?
59:05He must have ran off. He won't get very far.
59:09He's not a very fast runner.
59:25You did good, Brooke.
59:29I couldn't do it without you.
59:33I'd go anywhere with you.
