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