00:00In this town, it's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top
00:13client.
00:14But once he's sober and on time, I publish a stream.
00:19For a star, priming is everything.
00:26Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big if she makes all the right moves.
00:32Stand tall.
00:33This is your life.
00:34Knowing your handiwork?
00:35Late as usual.
00:36Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:37Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent.
00:38The guy I've known longer than anyone, dependable, intelligent, and annoyingly charming.

01:29What happened?
01:30This loser shoved his camera in my face.
01:33He's on my bad side.
01:34I didn't even touch him.
01:35He's being dramatic.
01:36You hit someone in front of 100 cameras.
01:38We need to fix this.
01:39Don't say it.
01:40Don't say it.
01:41Don't.
01:42itchgettinghichas476nныхl crappy
01:43SHHHH.
01:47We can solve this quietly.
01:50How about $1,000?
01:51Great idea.
01:52$5,000 and I'll pay along.
01:54along with it. Fine. You better be good for it or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:03Oh man I dropped my camera again. I'm so clumsy.
02:08Thank you for helping me pick it up Niles Gilmore.
02:11That was impressive.
02:24In Hollywood, connections are currency. Without me pulling the strings,
02:28even the brightest stars burn out. But I keep them shining.
02:30Ethan? What are you doing here?
03:00Good morning Miss Harrington. Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
03:16There's a last minute addition of potential new client meeting.
03:19Liam Sterling. Liam Sterling?
03:22That hot guy from the new rom-com? He's looking to revamp his image.
03:27Interesting. When does he arrive?
03:30Mr. Sterling, welcome to Harrington PR. I am your new client.
03:57I know who you are. Call me Liam.
04:05I've heard a lot about you. I'd say you're the best one to visit.
04:09I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do, but flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:14No discounts necessary. I'm here because I need a real change.
04:20Go on. I'm sick of being the guy who's
04:22sureless when he's acting. I mean, the heartthrob thing, it's been fun, but it's not who I am.
04:29I want substance. What was that really challenging?
04:33If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy. And it won't happen overnight.
04:40Are you ready for that? Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:45All right. We'll have to change your public persona. No more sexy magazine covers
04:51and no more feeding into that heartthrob image. We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor
04:57and you'll have to be selective about the projects you take. Taking roles with depth,
05:03range. That's exactly what I want. I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay
05:08to say no to the next rom-com where I spend more time in the gym than with the script.
05:13Well, consider this your first commercial stint.
05:17But this is a partnership. You'll have to trust me.
05:24I trust you, Brooke. You're the person I've been looking for.
05:32We'll make it happen. I'm all in.
05:35Brooke? Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:46Uh, you weren't interrupting anything. Is this your boyfriend?
05:49I, uh... God, no. Um, this is my close friend, Ava.
05:54Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Liam Sterling. I know who you are. I work closely with your agent.
06:00Brought you a coffee. I'll just sleep with Margaret.
06:02Thanks.
06:08He's a nice guy. I'm sure he's not your boyfriend.
06:11I'm single, Mr. Sterling. Liam. Remember?
06:16Liam. I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
06:20Um, I'm sure it will. No. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:31Hello? Who's there? I'm armed.
06:54Don't shoot. Liam?
06:56Thought I'd surprise you.
06:57What's up? With wine and flowers?
07:03I have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:06I mean, I guess this works.
07:16So, what's the occasion?
07:21Some say I'm cutthroat. Do they?
07:25I don't know. You don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:28Appearances may be deceiving.
07:30And yet, here I am with you.
07:35Well, someone's got to keep you out of trouble.
07:39Maybe. Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:44And what would that be?
07:46Well, the real chemistry is right here. Between us.
07:51I don't know what you're talking about.
07:52I'm sure you don't.
07:58This wine is great.
08:00It's got great taste.
08:03So, are we going to do something about this?
08:04Or are you just going to sit here enjoying the wine?
08:09Okay. I'll let you get some rest.
08:14No. I stay a little longer.
08:18I'll stay as long as you want.
08:41This is so unprofessional.
08:42I'm not going to fire you.
08:44Are you going to fire me?
08:45No.
08:55Shit.
08:59Shit.
09:03A good morning kiss?
09:05I don't think so.
09:07Come on.
09:11Let's say it was a mistake.
09:13Let's say it was a mistake.
09:15Fun, but still a mistake.
09:19Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:21You're my client.
09:23I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
09:26You know?
09:29You were great last night.
09:32Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:36If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career.
09:38Not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
09:40Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:44Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:49Everyone else would.
09:51I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
09:55The sooner we move past this, the sooner that I can get you and Lena and your career moving forward.
10:03Sound good?
10:07No.
10:09But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:13Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:17Yes.
10:19That's what's best.
10:20Whatever you say.
10:22I'm sorry.
10:23At least we got it out of our systems.
10:26Call you later.
10:38Last night was amazing.
10:39The movie sucked.
10:40Aside from my scene, I met this guy at the after party.
10:43He's a bit older.
10:44A screenwriter.
10:45Ugh, come on.
10:47Ugh, an old screenwriter?
10:50You are Sophie Miller.
10:52You can do so much better.
10:54I know that look, Brooke.
10:55You're up to something.
10:56What makes you think that?
10:58You love playing matchmaker.
10:59Admit it.
11:01You're trying to set me up.
11:02Half of Hollywood's power comes from you.
11:04You're trying to set me up.
11:06Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
11:11You can be one of them.
11:12Well, what about you?
11:13When are you going to find your someone?
11:16Oh, I'm happy being single.
11:19Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love lives.
11:23You've never thought about it?
11:27Of course I have.
11:31But then I remember all the drama that comes with it and...
11:35I like the way my life is.
11:37Drama queen.
11:39I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
11:44All right, drama queen.
11:46We have a party to get ready for.
11:54This is quite the party.
11:56Only the best parties put out on the sofa.
11:58How about my hat?
12:05Cool.
12:07So whose party is this anyway?
12:09Dylan's.
12:10Dylan Parker's?
12:12You were serious about setting me up.
12:14When do I say anything just for fun?
12:16I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
12:19You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:21Trust me, you'll thank me later.
12:24Hi, Dylan.
12:26Meet Sophie.
12:27Yeah, no, I know Sophie.
12:29We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
12:32You remember that?
12:33How could I forget?
12:35And damn, Brooke, you gotta warn me when you dress like this.
12:40Um, Sophie's the real star here.
12:43You guys should get to know each other.
12:44All right, Sophie.
12:46Let's grab a drink, find a quiet place to chat.
12:50That'd be great.
12:59What the?
13:02What the?
13:03Oh my god, your dress!
13:05You bitch!
13:06This dress is sponsored!
13:08Watch where you're walking.
13:09Who the hell are you?
13:11Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:15You better pay for this.
13:17Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single thing.
13:20I'm sorry.
13:21I'll cover the thing.
13:27Oops!
13:28Accident.
13:29I'm sorry.
13:30Your ugly thrift store dress was even worse.
13:35Oh, I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood, there are cameras everywhere.
13:41Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
13:43I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:45Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
13:48And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's.
13:51She's an A-list publicist.
13:53Ruining reputations is her job.
13:55So if I were you, I would watch my mouth throughout her.
14:01Take this.
14:03Um, I didn't expect to see you here.
14:07I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:09You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:14Depends what you had in mind.
14:16A girl who's smart, strong, independent.
14:21Maybe she runs her own business.
14:23Knows her way around Hollywood.
14:25Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:29Almost impossible.
14:33Actually, there is someone that you should meet.
14:39Who's that?
14:40Lena Turner.
14:41She's one of my clients.
14:43She's one of the best directors in the business.
14:46I'll introduce you two.
14:48Could be good for you.
14:48Is that so?
14:51Lena, meet Liam Sterling.
14:54Liam Sterling, it's so great to meet you.
14:56I've admired you and your work for years.
14:58The feeling is mutual.
14:59Congratulations on the horror film.
15:01Um, you two should work together.
15:04We are working on a new direction for Liam.
15:07Something more serious.
15:08That would be amazing.
15:10I'll leave you two to chat.
15:11Thanks for the introduction.
15:12Anytime.
15:21Well, that was fast.
15:29Of course.
15:31Wow.
15:37You look beautiful.
15:38Ethan, shouldn't you be holed up in an office somewhere working late as usual?
15:42Don't look so bummed.
15:43Agents get invited to these things too.
15:45It's not always just the pretty people.
15:48Speaking of pretty people.
15:51You look jealous.
15:54Why would I be jealous?
15:56Speaking of jealous, what made you run out so quickly this morning?
16:00Oh, I didn't want to get in the way of you and um, what was it?
16:04Liam.
16:05He's just a client, Ethan.
16:09You all right?
16:11Huh?
16:12I asked if you were all right.
16:13Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:16Well, let's get out of here.
16:18I promised Sophie I'd stay with her.
16:22Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:26All right, whisk me away then.
16:28That's the spirit.
16:30Cool.
16:35Who would have thought that 10 years later we would be so successful?
16:38I knew we would be.
16:40I didn't.
16:41When we came out here right after high school, we had zero plan.
16:43You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:46Hey, don't make fun of me.
16:47You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:49Oh, who could forget?
16:52But people change.
16:55They grow up.
16:57I don't think you're that different.
16:59Liar.
17:01Hey, take that back, okay?
17:04I'm super different.
17:06I still feel the same way with you as I did when we were kids.
17:12And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:18Well, you're infuriating and you're like sunshine when it wants you.
17:26I will fuck you up, bro.
17:31Fuck you up, bro.
17:33Is that our action movie guy?
17:34Yeah, it's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:38Niles!
17:38Niles, stop.
17:40Everyone, stop filming.
17:41Move, Lee.
17:42You're gonna get in the way.
17:47Oh my god, are you okay?
17:49You fucking got me, huh?
17:51Cops are coming.
17:55Well, he's not gonna get very far.
17:57For action stories, I'm very sorry.
18:05Let me see it.
18:06It's broken.
18:07I know it.
18:08Well, we won't know unless you let me look.
18:15What do you think?
18:18I don't think it's broken.
18:19I think you're gonna be just fine.
18:23You're always taking care of me.
18:26Well, someone has to.
18:28You always get yourself into trouble.
18:31Why are you always the one who has my back?
18:34I guess you mean a lot to me.
18:38That's why.
18:39You sure it's not just because you like control?
18:42I might be a control freak, but that's not why I stick around.
18:48Why do you?
18:50Ethan?
18:57We can't.
19:02We can't.
19:06Why not?
19:10Friends don't do this.
19:13I didn't realize friendship had so many rules.
19:16Hey, you're a loopy and I'm tipsy.
19:22How many of those pills did you even take?
19:24I don't know, maybe two?
19:26Why should I take more?
19:30The dosage is one.
19:32You're high off your ass right now.
19:36Okay.
19:38All right.
19:40Now time to get sleep before anything gets too crazy.
19:43What?
19:44What's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:45Come on, live a little.
19:47All right.
19:49Good night, Ethan.
19:50Works out fine.
19:55Oh my god, Niles!
20:05I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:07Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:12Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:14Oh, real warm reception.
20:16What's the deal?
20:18Whatever.
20:18Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:20Niles, I'm going to have to let you go.
20:24I'm sorry.
20:26You're a liability.
20:28You're joking, right?
20:30You hit me in the face.
20:32I would have hit anyone in the face.
20:34It wasn't because it was you.
20:34I was in the moment.
20:36That's almost worse.
20:38Way worse.
20:39This is bullshit, okay?
20:41I hired you as my publicist to deal with this, okay?
20:44So make it go away.
20:46I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:48I get clients brand deals and magazine covers.
20:51I make them movie stars.
20:52I can't make criminals look good.
20:54This is so unfair.
20:55Ethan, tell her she's being insane.
20:58I'm dropping you too, Niles.
21:00The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal.
21:02No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:04Now, fuck this.
21:06Fuck you and fuck you too.
21:08Okay, you're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:14Well, he took that one.
21:17Well, yeah, he's going to pay for my nose job if this doesn't heal right.
21:22Your nose is fine.
21:24Perfect, Ethan.
21:26Mind dropping me at the office?
21:28You have a car.
21:30I'm all hopped up on pain medication.
21:32Trust me, you don't want me driving.
21:39Are you sure you're good to go, Evan?
21:42I am more than good.
21:43I am incredible.
21:47Hey, seriously, how am I going to explain this to the team?
21:50Tell them you fought an action star.
21:52They'll understand.
21:54That's actually really badass if you think about it.
22:07It's not my problem anymore.
22:16This is Brooke.
22:17You might hold all the power in Hollywood right now,
22:19but I'm coming for you, Brooke Carrington.
22:24Who is this?
22:27Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult if you don't start to play nice.
22:40Oh, Sophie.
22:41Hi, it's you.
22:42What's up?
22:43I had the best night with Dylan.
22:45He is so charming.
22:46We really clicked.
22:47You were so right.
22:48That's good.
22:50I told you so.
22:51Yeah, but there's one tiny red flag.
22:54He kept bringing you up.
22:56Me?
22:58Why?
22:58Don't know.
22:59It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:02Dylan and I?
23:02No, no, no.
23:03He's nothing more than a client.
23:05Okay, I just didn't want to step on any toes.
23:08I really liked him.
23:10You're good.
23:10He's all yours.
23:12Great.
23:12Are we still going to the launch party tonight?
23:16I think I'm just going to sit this one out.
23:18It's been a lot lately.
23:20Saw Niles mugshot.
23:22Not his most flattering look.
23:24Definitely not.
23:27Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:29Yeah, that's a good idea.
23:33You guys should walk the carpet together.
23:35So soon?
23:36Everyone does it.
23:37It's Halloween.
23:38You are the best, Brooke.
23:46Brooke, you came.
23:48This is crazy.
23:50I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:51Well, they had another actress,
23:53but she had a total meltdown.
23:54So Dylan just threw my name into the ring
23:56and they booked me.
23:57So thank you.
23:58Why are you thanking me?
23:59Well, if I would have never met Dylan,
24:01then I would have never booked this movie.
24:02You're basically better than my agent.
24:04I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:10Speaking of agents.
24:12Um, Ethan reps Dylan Parker.
24:14You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:17What's up?
24:18It's work.
24:18The usual.
24:19Dealing with Niall's stuff.
24:20You know how it is.
24:22Just work.
24:24He's cute though.
24:25I'm serious.
24:27It's nothing more than that.
24:28He's like my oldest friend.
24:30Whatever you say.
24:31But you have to introduce me to him soon.
24:33I need a new agent and I've heard great things about him.
24:36He is the greatest.
24:37Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer.
24:40Wish me luck.
24:41You are going to do great.
24:46Brooke, you finally showed up.
24:47Well, I don't want to miss it all.
24:49But, how's it going?
24:51It depends.
24:52You come here to check on Sophie or me?
24:55It better be me.
24:59Well, of course.
25:01How's set?
25:02Well, you know, the usual.
25:04Long hours, a lot of takes.
25:05But Sophie, she is just, she's killing it.
25:08I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star,
25:10her acting definitely would.
25:12I always knew she had it in her.
25:14I've been chatting with some of the producers
25:15and they're buzzing about the early dailies.
25:17Sophie's performance is top-notch.
25:19You should take her on as a client, Ethan.
25:22Our agent sucks.
25:23Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me, don't you?
25:29You know, between you and me,
25:31you're the real secret weapon here, Brooke.
25:34I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:36You might as well be.
25:38You know you could be in charge of this.
25:40All right, well, if you're going to take all the credit,
25:41I'm going to go make some calls.
25:42But don't let this guy sweet-talk you too much, all right?
25:46Yeah, I did, um, want to chat with you,
25:50run some things by you, some PR stuff.
25:53Alone.
25:58Um, I'm kind of busy right now, but what did you have in mind?
26:00Yeah, um, I mean, the PR strategy is good.
26:03I just feel like I could use a little more personal attention.
26:08You have weekly check-ins on a full-time working one.
26:11We need some one-on-one time.
26:12Together.
26:13I mean, you are impressive and, like, beyond hot, Brookey.
26:18Um, Dylan, let's focus on your career.
26:23That's what we're here for, right?
26:25I think we could make magic together, don't you?
26:33I need to do this.
26:35Call me.
26:38Who is this?
26:40Have you realized your wrongs?
26:43Wrongs?
26:47What?
26:48What are you talking about?
26:49The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore back to glory, the safer you'll be.
26:54Niles, is this you?
26:56Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
26:59This isn't Niles.
27:01Niles, that's exactly what you would say if it was you.
27:03This isn't fucking Niles.
27:05Then who are you?
27:07Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:10And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:14Hey, Ethan, have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:20No, just the regular actress being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:25Wait, what's wrong?
27:29Psycho fan is trying to get back at me for firing Niles.
27:32Back at you?
27:33How?
27:34I don't know yet.
27:35They're being really vague and it's really annoying.
27:37Just block their number.
27:39I tried and then they called me back on a new one.
27:42I actually seem kind of worried.
27:43You want me to do something about it?
27:47What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:51I am a big, strong guy.
27:53I can beat him up or I can have a chokehold or something.
27:57You're acting like I didn't just watch Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
28:02No, I think you're thinking of someone else.
28:05Yeah, I'm Frank.
28:06Want me to hang out with you for the day?
28:08Keep you company?
28:09Let's see.
28:12No, I have to get downtown for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:17But I'll let you know if I get any more creepy calls.
28:23You're going to be okay.
28:25Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:27I forgot you were a hugger.
28:30Thanks, though.
28:38Sexier.
28:38Give me sexy, sexy man.
28:41No, the camera's appointed to here.
28:48How's everything going?
28:49Not well.
28:50They're not interested in the new Liam Sterling.
28:52All they want is a sexy, sexy man.
28:55It's okay, I'll take care of this.
28:59Hi, Enzo.
29:01I'm Brooke, Liam's publicist.
29:03So we are going for a new direction with Liam.
29:08More serious, less sexy.
29:10So why don't we try this?
29:12The magazine wants a sexy, shirtless, sweaty, sensual...
29:17Unfortunately, that is not what I agreed upon with the creative team.
29:20So we're either going to have to use the suit
29:24or you're going to have to find a different cover star.
29:26At the last minute?
29:28This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:30Ah, cazzo.
29:32Fine.
29:33Suit, change, hurry.
29:36Mamma mia.
29:41Ben fatto.
29:47This is way cool.
29:48It's so fun to see him in this outfit.
29:50Wait, what are you doing here?
29:51He invited me to see him in action.
29:53Did he really?
29:55That's so sweet of him.
29:57He really is a sweetheart.
29:58It's not often you meet a guy that handsome that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:02That's definitely rare in I.
30:06Okay, great job, we got the shot.
30:12Oh, you made it.
30:14Thanks for having me.
30:15You were great out there.
30:20The suit worked out nicely.
30:23Yeah, thanks again for that.
30:25I don't know what I'd do without you.
30:26Neither do I.
30:28What time is the dinner?
30:30Dinner?
30:34Yeah, it's at seven.
30:36We're going to go check out the new sushi spot on Sunset.
30:38I heard the sashimi is to die for.
30:40Liam got his reservation.
30:42Super cool.
30:43That sounds fun.
30:45Right?
30:46Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
30:48Liam is amazing.
30:49Of course, that's my job.
30:52You guys have fun.
30:54Sashimi!
30:55Thanks, girl.
31:00What the hell are you doing?
31:02He's your client.
31:04You don't like him.
31:05You're a professional.
31:08Stop.
31:12You're a strong, independent woman.
31:21You don't need him.
31:25Good morning, Brooke.
31:26You have back-to-back meetings today and Liam Sterling's on the line.
31:29He said it's urgent.
31:31Um, can you tell him I'll call back?
31:34Yeah.
31:39We positioned Liam as a modern, thoughtful, leading man.
31:43He's pushed past this heartthrob phase and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:47His next role will be key in redefining his public image.
31:50I like it, but don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:54His fan base may not be ready.
31:56They want apps.
32:00Um, don't worry.
32:03I have a plan for that.
32:05As you can see here...
32:12There you are.
32:13I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:18Um, I've been in meetings.
32:21What are you doing in my office?
32:24Marker, Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:27We have to talk about the other thing.
32:30Liam, we can't.
32:32Not now.
32:36We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
32:50Okay.
32:52The other day was intense, but we need to keep things professional.
32:56You have a rebrand to focus on and I have a company to run.
33:00I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:02And I don't want that either.
33:04But we need to cool it for both of our sakes.
33:17So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:20We're hard launching on social media.
33:22That's great, so?
33:24You seem happy.
33:25Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:28People are saying you and Liam Sterling are a thing.
33:33Me and Liam?
33:38What?
33:39You know how people talk.
33:40I told them it's ridiculous, but you two do spend a lot of time together.
33:44Liam is just a client, nothing else.
33:46Right.
33:47LA people love to gossip.
33:49Anyway, I think Dylan is really serious about us.
34:00Who was that?
34:01Just Brooke.
34:02Always something.
34:04You're still coming to set tonight, right?
34:06I have that huge scene.
34:08I won't miss it.
34:32Cut!
34:34Cut!
34:36Cut!
34:38Cut!
34:40Cut!
34:42Cut!
34:43Dylan, I said cut!
34:45Stop punching!
34:49I didn't even realize Lena was directing this film.
34:52Brooke, she's literally your client.
34:55It's hard to keep a record lately.
34:57Are you okay?
34:59You know, your usual obnoxiously organized self lately.
35:03Okay, I'm going to tell you this just because I trust you not to repeat it,
35:08but I am beyond overwhelmed.
35:12Did you get any more of those weird calls?
35:14Yeah, I got a message today and that on top of work
35:18and some other stuff that I'm dealing with.
35:22Just to...
35:23I'll take you to sleep and get some rest.
35:25I can't.
35:26I promised Sophie I'd stay for her scenes.
35:29She's nervous.
35:33She's lucky to have you.
35:35She's like a little sister to me.
35:38Plus, if I left now, I wouldn't get any sleep anyway, so...
35:42Do you want me to stay over?
35:44Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone.
35:46Like a sleepover.
35:47That actually sounds really nice, Ethan.
35:50Thanks.
35:51I owe you.
35:54Moving on to the next scene.
36:02Dylan, what are you doing here?
36:05It's the woman's dressing room.
36:07You know what I'm doing.
36:11I literally don't.
36:13You know you want some of this.
36:15You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:17You want some Dylan fucking work.
36:22No.
36:23Ew!
36:25Ah!
36:26I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
36:28You're my client.
36:29I'm your publicist.
36:30Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
36:32Yeah.
36:33Yeah, 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 gonna hurt.
36:42I'm only dating her for the publicity.
36:44I'm gonna drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out,
36:46and then you and I can finally be together.
36:49You and I?
36:52We are never going to be together.
36:54I'm not even remotely interested in you.
36:56If you try this shit again, I'm dropping you as a client.
37:00Motherfucker.
37:01What the fuck, babe?
37:06Brooke, did you see that?
37:08This seems so much fun.
37:09Um, is everything okay?
37:12I'm just not feeling too well.
37:15Oh, no.
37:15I hope you're not coming down with something.
37:17Um, probably just overworked.
37:20Well, go home.
37:21Get some rest.
37:22Are you sure?
37:23I'm positive.
37:24I really appreciate you coming, but I'm not sure.
37:27I really appreciate you coming,
37:28but I need you well-rested so that we can party this weekend, okay?
37:32Okay, fair.
37:33But do you have a ride home?
37:34Dylan's driving me.
37:36I'll see you.
37:40Ready to get out of here?
37:41Beyond ready.
37:52I'll just drive.
37:53Let's get out of here.
37:57All right.
38:00The windows and doors are locked, and the alarm system's on.
38:03Thanks for checking.
38:06You're safe.
38:07Of course, leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank,
38:10or it's Niles being childish again.
38:13You really think so?
38:15I do.
38:17But it's okay to be scared.
38:19I'm here for you.
38:22I don't know how much you mean to me.
38:25Goodnight.
38:26Can you please sleep here with me?
38:28Sure.
38:30Positive.
38:31I'll always be here for you.
38:49Can't sleep?
38:51No.
38:53You either?
38:56There's something that's been on my mind.
38:59There's something I've been wanting to do.
39:13I've wanted this for so long.
39:16Me too.
39:18More than anything.
39:25It's a faithless road I'm on.
39:30I need you, baby.
39:36Cause it's been darkness all along.
39:40I need you, baby.
39:46It's a faithless road I'm on.
39:51I need you, baby.
39:53I need you, baby.
40:10Good morning.
40:11Made the coffee unbearably strong just the way you like it.
40:14Amazing.
40:15So you feeling better now?
40:17Huh?
40:19After what?
40:20A full night's sleep?
40:21Oh.
40:22Yeah, I slept great.
40:24Thanks for staying with me.
40:25I finally felt a little safe.
40:26No problem.
40:27Plus, your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:30That's sad, Ethan.
40:33Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:35Yeah, you can use the guest bedroom.
40:37Cool.
40:41Ethan?
40:42You need a towel.
40:50I forgot to do one.
41:00Oh, wait.
41:00We stuck the towels.
41:03Thanks.
41:04Yeah.
41:04Wanna jump in with me?
41:07Shut up, baby.
41:11Um, I should probably go get that.
41:12Want me to check it out?
41:13No, no, it's okay.
41:15You shower.
41:16I'll be quick.
41:21Liam, what are you doing here?
41:28You've been ignoring my calls.
41:29We're supposed to be distancing.
41:31I'm over that.
41:33Look, can I come inside?
41:34No.
41:37No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:38You're being really weird.
41:40No, I'm being cautious, okay?
41:43People can't see us together.
41:45There's already rumors swirling.
41:47So, so let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:51No one has to know that.
41:55So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:57So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
41:59I don't care, all right?
42:00I like being around you and I want to explore our connection.
42:06I can't do this.
42:09Brooke, come on, wait.
42:16Your shower head's incredible.
42:18Gotta get your interior designer's contact info.
42:21Yeah, they're great.
42:22Uh, I'll get it to you.
42:25Who's at the door?
42:27Um, just some girls selling cookies.
42:34Do you want to get breakfast?
42:36No, I'm just gonna, uh, head to the office early.
42:38You never turned down breakfast.
42:40I'm just not hungry.
42:42See you later.
42:49So why'd you call me here?
42:52You want to offer me representation again?
42:54I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:56I want to know why you're leaving me these insane messages.
43:04This isn't for me.
43:05Don't bullshit us, Niles.
43:07Tell the truth.
43:09I won't be mad.
43:10I didn't send you this.
43:11What about the creepy voice calls?
43:13The voice changer didn't pull me.
43:14What phone call?
43:16Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:18Why don't you just admit it?
43:20Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you, but I have a business to run, okay?
43:25Did you do this or not?
43:27Brooke, let me tell you something.
43:29I have court dates, no movie deals, and two excessively large mansions
43:34that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for to keep out of foreclosure.
43:38So no, I didn't have time to go over pranks that you're dealing with.
43:42Not bad.
43:43Do you believe him?
43:44I do.
43:45So can I go, or are you going to try to accuse me of something else I didn't do?
43:49No, you can go.
43:50Sorry.
43:55We should call the cops, right?
43:56Get an investigation going?
43:58No, not yet.
43:59Thanks, Margaret.
44:08The customer you're trying to reach is not available.
44:10Please call back.
44:15Hi, I question Niles.
44:18Please call me ASAP.
44:31Sophie, what's going on?
44:32I got your text.
44:33What's the emergency?
44:39He broke up with me, Brooke.
44:41What?
44:41When?
44:42When did this happen?
44:43When did this happen?
44:44After our last scene.
44:45He said it was because of you that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:50What?
44:51I would never say that.
44:52He's lying.
44:53Then why would he blame you?
44:55I don't know.
44:56I guess he's using me as an excuse.
44:58I feel so stupid.
45:00I really liked him.
45:01We even got these matching bracelets.
45:04You're not stupid, okay?
45:07Dylan messed up.
45:08You deserve better.
45:09Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
45:12I swear.
45:12Okay, he's just avoiding accountability.
45:14He's a douche.
45:16How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:20Sophie, you're a professional.
45:24Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:26You're right.
45:27Yeah.
45:29Okay.
45:31One second.
45:32It's Ethan.
45:38Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:39Sophie and I have a meeting.
45:41You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:44Busy day.
45:46Sophie, what's wrong?
45:49Are you okay?
45:50Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:53I'm so sorry to hear that.
45:55Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
45:56Because I totally understand.
45:57No, no, no, no.
45:57Absolutely not.
45:58I've been waiting to talk to you.
46:01Great.
46:02So, why?
46:03Um, Brooke, I will see you after I wrap here tonight.
46:08Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:11Yeah, sure.
46:13Um, Ethan, call me back whenever you can, okay?
46:17It's really important.
46:18Yeah, okay.
46:29Oh, what's good?
46:29It's Big Del.
46:31Damn.
46:32You fucking liar.
46:33What are you talking about?
46:34Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:38You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me.
46:40I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:42You're disgusting.
46:44I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:47I didn't lie to her.
46:50Okay.
46:52I lied.
46:53I lied.
46:53I'm sorry.
46:55I'll apologize to her tonight, okay?
46:57You trying to kill my star?
47:00He's a fool when stars clacking.
47:03Can we talk?
47:04In private?
47:05Wow, nice office.
47:07Sit down.
47:10Lena, what's wrong?
47:11Did something happen on set?
47:13You tell me.
47:14Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on, just not on my set.
47:18I don't understand.
47:20I'm talking about you and Liam.
47:24You introduced us, pushed us together, and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:28No, it's not like that.
47:30I'm not sleeping with him.
47:31I'm not sleeping with him.
47:32I'm not sleeping with him.
47:33I'm not sleeping with him.
47:35Bullshit!
47:36Everyone's talking about it.
47:37You and Liam sneaking around behind my back.
47:39You think I'm dumb?
47:41Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
47:44There is something going on between us, but...
47:46What? 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?
47:52No, I truly wanted you two to be happy.
47:54You don't care about me.
47:56You only care about your selfish matchmaking games.
48:00You didn't care what this would do to me.
48:01That's not true, Lena.
48:05I'm sorry.
48:06You're sorry you got caught.
48:07Luckily, I'm over him.
48:09He really is just a shallow, pretty boy.
48:12Even with your shitty PR and brand.
48:14We're done.
48:16Get out.
48:34Um, Sophie, I said seven.
48:45It's almost eight.
48:46Sorry, we got distracted.
48:48Is that so?
48:49He's so funny.
48:50You have to tell Brooke about the story of your dog in the summer house.
48:54You mean my dog eating the lasagna that his mom made for dinner?
48:58I know that one.
49:00It was there.
49:05Hey, can you go stir the pot on the stove?
49:08I have to talk to Ethan about a jerk I have.
49:10You made dinner?
49:11On it.
49:13Um, so I talked to Niles and he swear it wasn't him.
49:18I don't know if we should believe him, but...
49:21I mean, I kind of believe him because I have other suspects in mind.
49:24What do you think?
49:25I don't know, Brooke.
49:25Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:28Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
49:32No, he's not.
49:33But clearly you are.
49:35What are you talking about?
49:37I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
49:38I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:40Soph?
49:42Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:44We have a lot in common, okay?
49:45And she sees me, Brooke.
49:47Sees you?
49:47What does that even mean?
49:50I...
49:56I was just stirring Niles when this flew through the window.
49:59It wasn't me, I swear.
50:01What is it?
50:03I...
50:06I knew it.
50:07Knew what?
50:11What are you talking about?
50:13Oh my god.
50:16I want to see.
50:20Holy shit, Brooke.
50:22I lied.
50:23You lied to me about the rumors.
50:24You said it was nothing.
50:27I...
50:28I didn't mean to.
50:28I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:30You weren't trying to lie to me.
50:32We're supposed to tell each other everything.
50:33We're best friends.
50:34I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:36So what was I, Brooke?
50:38Just a backup?
50:40Someone to keep around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:43No, Ethan.
50:43It wasn't like that.
50:44I didn't...
50:45You knew exactly what you were doing.
50:47I thought we were finally going to admit how we felt about each other.
50:53More than friends.
50:56Ethan.
50:57I didn't mean to hurt you.
50:59You hurt us both, Brooke.
51:01I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
51:04I know.
51:05I just...
51:06I didn't want it to be real.
51:07I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
51:10Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:13I thought we had something, Brooke.
51:14Can't you feel it, too?
51:16Brooke, you need to figure out what you want.
51:19You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
51:20They're not a game, no matter how much you'd like them to be.
51:26I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:28Ethan, I don't understand.
51:29I thought we were just friends.
51:30I didn't...
51:31Bullshit.
51:34After all these years, I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
51:38You are special to me.
51:39Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie star.
51:42Ethan, wait.
51:44Save it, Brooke.
51:56Oh no!
51:57Did my brick end up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
52:00Are you happy now?
52:01Not even close.
52:02You'll pay.
52:03Go to hell.
52:08I said go to hell!
52:12Whoa, wait.
52:13What did I do?
52:14Liam?
52:16I'm sorry.
52:16I thought you were someone else.
52:17Look, can I come over?
52:19I want to see you.
52:23Fine.
52:27Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
52:30It's not a rumor if it's true.
52:33It's a shame things between us have to cause so much drama.
52:36I can craft and control all of my clients with public images.
52:41Spin any story around.
52:44Make bad press good.
52:46Shape the way Hollywood sees them.
52:49But when it comes to people I actually care about, I'm powerless.
52:55I have this wall over everything.
52:58Everything's controlled.
53:00It looks easily managed.
53:01But no.
53:02In reality, it's such a mess.
53:06I've spent so long creating these perfect lives for everyone else.
53:13I think it's just time for me to be honest about mine.
53:16You know, you can control everybody else's image.
53:18But when it comes to your own life, sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
53:22I should have understood the consequences for everyone.
53:26For you.
53:28For Lena.
53:29For Ethan.
53:32You know, Ethan's not totally innocent in all this either.
53:36He's been keeping things bottled up for way too long.
53:38I should have just been honest with him.
53:40Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:43You won't lose me.
53:44To be determined.
53:45Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
53:47Just let things happen naturally.
53:48William, I'm sorry.
53:58You love Ethan.
54:01Yeah.
54:03I do.
54:05I understand.
54:07And for what it's worth, I think you should go get what you want.
54:10You're not upset.
54:12I am.
54:13But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:19Hi, Ethan.
54:21Surprise, Brooke.
54:23It's you.
54:24Where's Ethan?
54:25Ethan and Sophie are with me.
54:27Let's just say they're safe for now.
54:29You have Sophie too?
54:30Where are you?
54:32Oh, you'll know soon enough.
54:34But here's the thing.
54:35If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:37I'll do anything.
54:38Check your texts.
54:49Let's go.
54:51I'll drive.
55:01Wait.
55:02If things got out of control, you need to run.
55:04Okay?
55:05This doesn't involve you.
55:06I'm not leaving your side.
55:08Okay.
55:13Hello?
55:19Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:23I'm so glad you could make it.
55:24Let them go.
55:25Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
55:27I'll make a great addition to my kill count.
55:30I'm almost getting killed tonight.
55:36No!
55:37Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:40Niles, you swore that it wasn't Brooke.
55:43I'm a fucking actor.
55:45All we do is lie.
55:46You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power,
55:49you really are just another stupid, stupid Hollywood girl.
55:54You're insane.
55:55Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
55:57What do I want?
55:59I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:03I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:05I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:08I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:12You think you're untouchable.
56:14CR queen.
56:16Always in control.
56:18But Brooke, you're just like the rest of us.
56:21Disposable.
56:23This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:27Ego?
56:28No.
56:29Brooke, this is about your company.
56:32Liam.
56:33Sophie.
56:34Ethan.
56:35They stole your attention from me.
56:38But I'm taking it back.
56:40You're wrong, Niall.
56:42PR isn't about power.
56:43It's about helping people.
56:45And I tried to help you, but you're Beyoncé.
56:48Nope.
56:50Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:52It's about control.
56:53Fending people to your will.
56:57Do you really think that you can play Puppet Master forever?
57:04You're quick, but not quick enough.
57:14Go to hell.
57:15I don't think so.
57:25Show's over, Niall.
57:27I'm a fucking movie star, you can't kill me.
57:30I'm in control.
57:35Ugh.
57:45Brooke, you really kicked his ass.
57:47Oh my god, you fucked him up.
57:49Brooke, I'm so sorry.
57:51No, this is all my fault.
57:53Brooke, I've wasted the last 10 years of my life hiding the way I felt about you.
57:58But I don't want to hide anymore.
58:00I'm so desperately in love with you.
58:03I don't want to spend another day in my life without you by my side.
58:05I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:08Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay?
58:10I'm in love with you, okay?
58:13And I'm sorry that I've been hiding...
58:25I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:26I love you, Brooke Harrington.
58:29Guys, I'm still tied up.
58:39No, it's cool.
58:40I got it.
58:40Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:45Hey, can I ask you something?
58:47Anything.
58:48I look like really heroic, right?
58:51I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:53Yes, um, it was fair.
58:59What do you say we get out of here?
59:01That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:03Um, guys?
59:05Where's Niles?
59:07He must have ran off.
59:09He won't get very far.
59:11He's not a very fast runner, huh?
59:13You did good, Brooke.
59:31Couldn't do it without you.
59:33What do you say we take to the carpet, Niles?
59:35I'd go anywhere with you.
