A Hollywood Match Full

Short filmTranscript
00:00In this town, it's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client,
00:14once he's sober and on time, a publicist's stream.
00:22For a star, reddening is everything.
00:24Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:33Stand tall. This is your leg.
00:40Mind your handiwork?
00:42Lay as usual.
00:44Not lay, just perfectly tied.
00:46Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent.
00:48The guy I've known longer than anyone.
00:51Dependable, intelligent, and annoyingly charming.
00:55Nice dress.
00:57Nice bow tie.
00:59Just needs a little adjustment here.
01:03How's our golden boy?
01:05Is he behaving himself or are we in prison's royalties?
01:07Hmm, he's playing nice.
01:10Give it an hour.
01:13What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:17Or less.
01:21Well, that escalated quickly.
01:23Stay close.
01:25We need to handle this before I hit spirals.
01:26Damage control. Got it.
01:29What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:37Niles?
01:38What happened?
01:39This loser shoved his camera in my face.
01:42He's on my bad side.
01:43I didn't even touch him. He's being dramatic.
01:45You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras.
01:47We need to fix this.
01:48Just don't say that.
01:54Let's not make this bigger deal that it needs to be.
01:56We can solve this quietly.
01:58How about, um, $1,000 a day?
02:00I'll pay a long thing.
02:01$5,000.
02:02I'll pay a long thing.
02:05Fine.
02:05Good.
02:07You better be good for it or else I'm going straight to the price.
02:10It'll be him.
02:11Oh, man, I dropped my camera again.
02:15I'm so clumsy.
02:17Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore.
02:19Come on, come on, come on, come on.
02:23So sweet.
02:24Great work, man.
02:25So sweet.
02:31That was impressive.
02:33In Hollywood, connections are currency.
02:35Without me pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out.
02:38But I keep them shining.
02:48Ethan?
02:49What are you doing here?
03:19Good morning, Ms. Harrington.
03:22Your schedule's been moved around slightly.
03:24There's a last-minute addition of a potential new client meeting.
03:27Liam Sterling.
03:28Liam Sterling?
03:30That hot guy from the new rom-com?
03:32He's looking to revamp his image.
03:35Interesting.
03:36When does he arrive?
03:38Mr. Sterling.
04:00Welcome to Harrington PR.
04:03I am Marky.
04:04I know.
04:05I know.
04:06You are.
04:07Call me Liam.
04:13I've heard a lot about you.
04:15I see you're the best in the business.
04:16I'd like to think that I'm good at what I do, but flattery won't get you any discounts.
04:22No discounts necessary.
04:24I'm here because I need a real change.
04:27Go on.
04:27I'm sick of being the guy who's sure this morning he's acting.
04:31I mean, the hard-rob thing, it's been fun.
04:34But it's not who I am.
04:35I want substance.
04:37Roles that really challenge me.
04:39If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy.
04:43And it won't happen overnight.
04:44Are you ready for that?
04:48Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:51All right.
04:52We'll have to change your public persona.
04:55No more sexy magazine covers.
04:57And no more feeding into that hard-robbage.
05:00We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor.
05:03And you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
05:06Taking roles with...
05:08Death.
05:09Range.
05:10That's exactly what I want.
05:12I've been waiting for somebody to tell me.
05:14That it's okay to say no to the next rom-com.
05:16Where I spend more time in the gym than with a script.
05:20Well, consider those two questions.
05:23But this is a partnership.
05:26You'll have to trust me.
05:28100%.
05:29I trust you, brother.
05:33You're the person I've been looking for.
05:38Well, my cabin.
05:40I'm all in.
05:44You're okay.
05:49Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:52Uh, you weren't interrupting anything.
05:54Is this your boyfriend?
05:55I, uh...
05:55God, no.
05:56Um, this is my close friend.
05:59Oh.
06:00Well, nice to meet you.
06:01I'm Liam Sterling.
06:02I know who you are.
06:04I work closely with your agent.
06:05Brought you a coffee.
06:06I'll just sleep with Margaret.
06:07Thanks.
06:14He's a nice guy.
06:16I'm sure he's not your boyfriend?
06:17I'm single.
06:18Mr. Sterling.
06:19Uh, Liam.
06:20Whoever?
06:21Liam.
06:23I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
06:25I'm, uh...
06:26I'm sure it will.
06:28You know,
06:29I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
06:49Hello?
06:52Who's there?
06:53I'm armed.
06:54Don't shoot.
07:01Liam?
07:01I thought I'd surprise you.
07:04With...
07:05wine and flowers?
07:08I'm gonna have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
07:11I mean, I guess this works.
07:21So?
07:22What's the occasion?
07:24Some say I'm cutthroat.
07:28Do they?
07:30I don't know.
07:30You don't look so cutthroat to me.
07:33Appearances may be deceiving.
07:35And yet...
07:36Here I am with you.
07:39Well, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble.
07:43Maybe.
07:45Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:47And what would that be?
07:49And what would that be?
07:50Well, the real chemistry's right here.
07:53Between us.
07:55I don't know what you're talking about.
07:59Sure you don't.
08:02This wine is great.
08:04Great taste.
08:06So are we gonna do something about this?
08:08Or are you just gonna sit here enjoying the wine?
08:13Okay.
08:16I'll let you get some rest.
08:18No.
08:20Stay a little longer.
08:23Well, stay as long as you want.
08:24This is so unprofessional.
08:47I'm not gonna fire you.
08:49Are you gonna fire me?
08:51No.
08:51No way.
09:01Shit.
09:04Shit.
09:05Shit.
09:08No good morning kiss?
09:09I don't think so.
09:11Come on.
09:15That's nice.
09:16It was a mistake.
09:17Fun.
09:19But still a mistake.
09:21Yeah, I don't think I agree.
09:23You're my client.
09:25I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
09:28You know.
09:31You were great last night.
09:34Now, can you please just get dressed?
09:38If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career.
09:40Not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
09:43Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
09:45Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:52Everyone else would.
09:53I mean, what serious actor slipped with their publicist?
09:58The sooner we move past this, the sooner that I can get you and Lena and your career moving forward.
10:05Sound good?
10:06No.
10:10But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
10:16Is that what you want, Brooke?
10:19Yes.
10:21That's what's best.
10:23Whatever you say.
10:24I'm sorry.
10:26At least we got it out of our systems.
10:28Call you later.
10:28Last night was amazing.
10:46The movie sucked.
10:47Aside from my scene, I met this guy at the after party.
10:50He's a bit older.
10:51A screenwriter.
10:52Oh, come on.
10:54An old screenwriter?
10:56You are Sophie Miller.
10:58You can do so much better.
11:00I know that look, Brooke.
11:02You're up to something.
11:03What makes you think that?
11:04You love playing matchmaker.
11:06Admit it.
11:07You'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.
11:14Well, what about you?
11:15When are you going to find your someone?
11:18Oh, I'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?
11:28Of course I have.
11:33But then I remember all the drama that comes with it, and I like the way my life is.
11:40Drama sleep.
11:41I think you're the only person in this town who doesn't crave drama.
11:44All right, drama queen.
11:48We have a party to get ready for.
11:56This is quite a party.
11:58Only the best party's planned.
11:59So, you're leveling up.
12:01So, whose party is this anyway?
12:12Dylan's.
12:13Dylan Parker's?
12:14You were serious about setting me up.
12:16When do I say anything just for fun?
12:18I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two to meet.
12:21You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you?
12:23Trust me.
12:24You'll thank me later.
12:26Hi, Dylan.
12:28Meet Sophie.
12:30Yeah.
12:30No, I know Sophie.
12:32We met at that Kim read for the horror flick, right?
12:34You remember that?
12:35How could I forget?
12:37And damn, Brooke.
12:38You gotta warn me when you dress like this.
12:42Um, Sophie's the real star here.
12:45You guys should get to know each other.
12:46Hi, Sophie.
12:48Let's, uh, have a drink.
12:51Find a quiet place to chat.
12:52That'd be great.
12:58Ah!
13:00What the?
13:03What the?
13:04Oh my God, your dress!
13:06You bitch!
13:07This dress is sponsored!
13:09Watch where you're walking.
13:11Who the hell are you?
13:12Just a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood star house?
13:16You better pay for this.
13:18Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single shirt.
13:22I'm sorry.
13:22I'll cover the thing.
13:28Oops!
13:30Accident.
13:31I'm sorry.
13:32Your ugly thrift store dress looks even worse.
13:37Oh, I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood, there are gamers everywhere.
13:42Wait, is that Liam Sterling?
13:43I just watched his movie yesterday.
13:45Damn, he looks even hotter than you're listening.
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 reputation is her job.
13:55So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
14:01Take this.
14:04Um, I didn't expect to see you here.
14:07I wasn't expecting to see you here either.
14:10You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
14:13Hmm.
14:14Depends.
14:15What do you have in mind?
14:17A girl who's smart, strong, independent.
14:20Maybe she runs her own business.
14:24Makes her way around Hollywood.
14:25Sounds like she's hard to find.
14:29Almost impossible.
14:36Actually, there is someone that you should meet.
14:39Yeah?
14:40Who's that?
14:40Lena Turner.
14:42She'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.
14:49Is that so?
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:51Lena!
14:52Meet Liam Sterling.
14:54Liam Sterling.
14:56It's so great to meet you.
14:57I've admired you and your work for years.
14:59My feelings mutual.
15:00Congratulations on the horror film.
15:02Uh, you two should work together.
15:04We are working on a new direction for Liam.
15:07Something more serious.
15:09That would be amazing.
15:10I'll leave you two to chat.
15:11Thanks for the introduction.
15:13Anytime.
15:13Anytime.
15:13Well, that was fast.
15:23There's a lot of interaction.
15:24Yeah.
15:25Yeah.
15:25Yeah.
15:29Of course.
15:35Wow.
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.
15:44Agents get invited to these things too.
15:45It's not always just the pretty people.
15:48Speaking of pretty people.
15:51Hm.
15:52You 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.
16:06He's just a client, Ethan.
16:09You all right?
16:11Huh?
16:12I asked if you were all right.
16:14Yeah, just a little overcrowded.
16:17Well, let's get out of here.
16:18I promised Sophie I'd stay with her.
16:22Hmm.
16:23Looks like she'll be okay on her own.
16:26All right.
16:27Whisk me away, then.
16:28That's the spirit.
16:30Who would have thought that ten years later we'd 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.
16:44You still wanted to be an actress back then.
16:46Hey, don't make fun of me.
16:48You knew how good I was in Romeo and Juliet.
16:50Oh, who could forget?
16:52But people change.
16:55They grow up.
16:57I don't think you're that different.
16:58Liar.
17:02Hey, take that back.
17:03Okay?
17:04I'm super different.
17:05No.
17:07I still feel the same way with you as I did when we were kids.
17:12And how do I make you feel, Ethan?
17:14Oh, well, you're infuriating.
17:21Yeah.
17:24You're like sunshine all at once.
17:26You...
17:26Oh, fuck you up, bro.
17:31Fuck you up, bro.
17:33Is that actually a movie guy?
17:34Yeah, he's the one that keeps beating up people for no reason.
17:37Niles!
17:39Niles, stop.
17:40I won't stop filming.
17:41Moodly.
17:42You're gonna get in the way.
17:47Oh, my God.
17:48Are you okay?
17:49You fucking got me, huh?
17:51Docs are coming.
17:55Well, he's not gonna get very far.
17:57The action story's in a very small somewhere.
17:59Let me see it.
18:06It's broken.
18:07I know it.
18:08Well, we won't know unless you let me look.
18:14What 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 know, you 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?
18:41I might be a control freak, but that's not why I stick around.
18:48Why do you?
18:50You think?
18:58We can't.
19:05Why not?
19:10Friends, don't do this for kids.
19:13I didn't realize friendship had so many rules.
19:15Hey, you're loopy, and I'm tipsy.
19:21How many of those pills did you even take?
19:24I don't know.
19:24Maybe two?
19:26Why should I take one?
19:27The 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's so wrong with things getting out of hand?
19:45We have a little.
19:46All right.
19:48Good night, Ethan.
19:49It works out fine.
20:01Oh, my God.
20:02Niles!
20:05I didn't even know this got leaked.
20:07Seems to be an ongoing trend with Niles.
20:11Thanks for bailing me out, guys.
20:13Wow, real warm reception.
20:15What's the deal?
20:17Whatever.
20:18Can we just go grab something to eat?
20:19Niles, I'm going to have to let you go.
20:23I'm sorry.
20:25You're a liability.
20:27You're joking, right?
20:30You hit me in the face.
20:31I would have hit anyone in the face.
20:33It wasn't because it was you.
20:34I was in the moment.
20:36That's almost worse.
20:37Way worse.
20:38No, this is bullshit.
20:40Okay, I hired you as my publicist to deal with this.
20:43Okay?
20:43So make it go away.
20:45I'm a publicist to the stars.
20:47I get clients' brand deals and magazine covers.
20:50I make them movie stars.
20:52I can't make criminals look good.
20:53This is so unfair.
20:55Ethan, tell her she's being insane.
20:57I'm dropping you too, Niles.
21:00The studio pulled out of your three-picture deal.
21:01No one wants to work with a serial assaulter.
21:03No, fuck this.
21:05Fuck you, and fuck you too.
21:07Okay?
21:07You're going to pay for this, I swear.
21:08Well, you took that one.
21:16Oh yeah, he's going to pay for my nose job if this isn't you, right?
21:21Your nose is fine.
21:23Perfect, even.
21:25Mind dropping it at the office?
21:27You have a card.
21:29I'm all hopped up on pain medication.
21:31Trust me, you don't want me to have it.
21:33Okay.
21:33Are you sure you're good to go in?
21:41I am more than good.
21:42I am...
21:43I'm crying.
21:46Hey, seriously, how am I going to spend this to the team?
21:49Tell them you fought an action star.
21:51They understand.
21:53It's actually really badass if you think about it.
21:55Okay.
21:56Okay.
21:56It's not my problem anymore.
22:15This is Brooke.
22:16You might hold all the power in Hollywood right now,
22:18but I'm coming for you, Brooke Harrington.
22:24Who is this?
22:25Someone who could make your life a lot more difficult
22:28if you don't start to play nice.
22:38Oh, Sophie.
22:40Hi.
22:40It's you.
22:41What's up?
22:41I had the best night with Dylan.
22:43He is so charming.
22:45We really clicked.
22:46You were so right.
22:47That's good.
22:48I told you so.
22:50Yeah, but there's one tiny roof left.
22:53He kept bringing you up.
22:55Me?
22:56Why?
22:57Don't know.
22:58It just felt like maybe there was something between you.
23:00Dylan and I?
23:01No, no, no.
23:02He's nothing more than a client.
23:04Okay.
23:04I just didn't want to step on any toes.
23:06I really like him.
23:08You're good.
23:09We saw yours.
23:10Great.
23:11Are we still going to the launch party tonight?
23:13Um, I think I'm just going to sit this one out.
23:16It's been a lot lately.
23:18Saw Niles mugshot.
23:20Not his most flattering look.
23:23Definitely not.
23:25Can I bring Dylan as my plus one?
23:28Uh, yeah.
23:29That's a good idea.
23:30Uh, you guys should walk the carpet together.
23:33So soon?
23:35Everyone does it.
23:36Time.
23:36Um, you are the best, Brooke.
23:45Brooke, you came.
23:47This is crazy.
23:48I can't believe you booked this movie.
23:50Well, they had another actress, but she had a total meltdown, so Dylan just threw my name
23:54into the ring, and they booked me.
23:57What are you thanking me?
23:58Well, if I would have never met Dylan, then I would have never booked this movie.
24:01You're basically better than my agent.
24:03I'll have to agree with you on that one.
24:08Speaking of agents...
24:10Um, Ethan reps Dylan Parker.
24:13You two seem to be spending a lot of time together recently.
24:16So, it's work.
24:17The usual.
24:18Dealing with Niles stuff, you know how it is.
24:20Mm-hmm.
24:21Just work.
24:22He's cute, though.
24:24I'm serious.
24:25It's nothing more than that.
24:27He's like my oldest friend.
24:29Whatever you say.
24:30But you have to introduce me to him soon.
24:31I need a new agent, and I've heard great things about him.
24:34He is the greatest.
24:36Anyway, I have to get to my wardrobe trailer.
24:38Wish me luck.
24:39You are going to do great.
24:44Hope you finally showed up.
24:46Well, I don't want to miss it all.
24:48How's it going?
24:50It depends.
24:51You come here to check on Sophie or me.
24:52It better be me.
24:58Well, of course.
25:00How's that?
25:01Well, you know, the usual.
25:02Long hours, a lot of takes.
25:04But Sophie, she is just killing it.
25:06I mean, if her looks aren't going to make her a star, her acting definitely wouldn't.
25:10I always knew she had it in her.
25:12I've been chatting with some of the producers and then buzzing about the early dailies.
25:16Sophie's performance is top-notch.
25:17You should take her on as a client, Ethan.
25:20Her agent sucks.
25:22Well, it seems like you just want to share all your clients with me, don't you?
25:25You know, between you and me, you're the real secret weapon here at Broadway.
25:32I didn't know I was directing this film.
25:35You might as well be.
25:36You know you could be in charge of this.
25:38All right, well, if you're going to take all the credit, I'm going to go make some calls.
25:41But don't let this guy sweet-talk you too much, all right?
25:43Yeah, I did, uh, want to chat with you, learn some things by you, some PR stuff, alone.
25:56Um, I'm kind of busy right now, but what did you have in mind?
25:59Yeah, um, I mean, the PR strategy is good.
26:02I just feel like I could use a little more personal attention.
26:06You have weekly check-ins on a phone call, what do you want?
26:09You need some one-on-one time to get it.
26:11I mean, you are impressive and mighty.
26:15Beyond hot, rookie.
26:17Um, Dylan, let's focus on your career.
26:21That's what we're here for, right?
26:23I think we could make magic together.
26:26Don't you?
26:31I'm going to do this.
26:33Call me.
26:37Who is this?
26:38Have you realized your wrongs?
26:41Well, what are you talking about?
26:48The sooner you bring Niles Gilmore back to glory, the safer you'll be.
26:53Niles, is this you?
26:55Look, I'm not bringing you back on as a client.
26:57This isn't Niles.
26:59Niles, that's exactly what you would say if it was you.
27:02This isn't fucking Niles.
27:03Then who are you?
27:04Someone who would do anything for Niles Gilmore.
27:08And I won't stop until you pay for his downfall.
27:11Hey Ethan, have you been getting weird phone calls?
27:19No, just the regular actors being desperate and trying to become movie stars.
27:23Why, what's wrong?
27:24Psycho fan is trying to get back at me for firing Niles.
27:30Back at you?
27:31How?
27:32I don't know yet.
27:33They're being really vague and it's really annoying.
27:36Just block their number.
27:37I tried and then they called me back on a new one.
27:40You actually seem kind of worried.
27:41Do you want me to do something about it?
27:42What exactly are you going to do, Ethan?
27:48Hey, I am a big, strong guy.
27:52I can beat him up or get a chokehold or something.
27:56You're acting like I didn't just watch Niles Gilmore kick your ass the other night.
28:00No, I think you're thinking of someone else.
28:03Yeah, right.
28:05Want me to hang out with you for the day?
28:06Keep you company?
28:07Let's see.
28:08You know, I have to get downtown for a magazine cover shoot for Liam.
28:16But I'll let you know if I get any more creepy goals.
28:19Okay, okay.
28:22You're going to be okay.
28:23Just call me if you need anything else, okay?
28:25I forgot you were a hugger.
28:28Thanks, though.
28:28Thanks, you're gimme sexy, sexy man.
28:41Ma, the camera's appointed to here.
28:46How's everything going?
28:47Not well.
28:49They're not interested in the new Liam Sterling.
28:50All they want is a sexy, sexy man.
28:53It's okay, I'll take care of this.
28:54Hi, Enzo.
28:58I'm Brooke.
29:00Liam's publicist.
29:01Hmm.
29:01So, we are going for a new direction with Liam.
29:05More serious, less sexy.
29:08So, why don't we try this?
29:10The magazine wants a sexy, shirtless, sweaty, sensual...
29:14Unfortunately, that is not what I agreed upon with the creative team.
29:18So, we're either going to have to use the suit, or you're going to have to find a different cover store.
29:24At the last minute?
29:26This is how it's going to have to be, Enzo.
29:28Ah, cazzo.
29:29Fine.
29:31Suit, change, hurry.
29:34Mamma mia.
29:40This is what we call someone to see him in the zone.
29:48Liam, what are you doing here?
29:49He invited me to see him in action.
29:51Did he really?
29:53That's so sweet of him.
29:54He really is a sweetheart.
29:56It's not often you meet a guy that handsome that isn't also a total douchebag.
30:00That's definitely rare, and I...
30:04Okay, great job.
30:06We got the shot.
30:07Bravo.
30:10Maybe.
30:11Thanks for having me.
30:13You were great out there.
30:14See, it worked out nicely.
30:21Yeah.
30:21Thanks again for that.
30:23I don't know what I'd do without you.
30:24Neither do I.
30:25What time is the dinner?
30:28Dinner?
30:31Yeah, um, it's at 7.
30:33We're going to go check out the new sushi spot on Sunset.
30:36I heard the sashimi is to die for.
30:38Liam got his reservations.
30:39Super cool.
30:41That sounds fun.
30:42Right?
30:43Thanks again for introducing us, Brooke.
30:45Liam is amazing.
30:47Of course.
30:48That's my job.
30:49You guys have fun.
30:52Sushimi!
30:53Thanks, girl.
30:57What the hell are you doing?
31:00He's your client.
31:01You don't like him.
31:03You're a professional.
31:05Stop.
31:14You're a strong, independent woman.
31:18You don't need him.
31:23Good morning, Brooke.
31:24You have back-to-back meetings today,
31:26and Liam Sterling's on the line.
31:27He said it's urgent.
31:29Um, can you please run while contact?
31:32Yeah.
31:34We position Liam as a modern, thoughtful, leading man.
31:41He's pushed past this heartthrob phase,
31:43and now we need to highlight his depth.
31:45His next role will be key in redefining his public image.
31:48I like it, but don't you think this shift is too sudden?
31:52His fan base may not be ready.
31:54They want apps.
31:58Um, don't worry.
32:01I have a plan for that.
32:01As you can see here...
32:04There you are.
32:11I've been trying to reach you all day.
32:16Um, I've been in meetings.
32:18What are you doing to my office?
32:21Margaret.
32:23Brooke, I needed to see you.
32:25We have to talk about the other night.
32:26Pam, we can't.
32:29Not now.
32:33We can't just ignore the chemistry between us.
32:35Okay.
32:50The other day was intense, but we need to keep things professional.
32:54You have a rebrand to focus on, and I have a company to run.
32:58I just don't want things to be weird between us.
33:00And I don't want that either.
33:01But we need to cool it, for both of our sakes.
33:15So, Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.
33:18We're hard launching on social media.
33:20That's great, Soph.
33:22You seem happy.
33:23Oh my god, I heard the funniest rumor this morning.
33:25People are saying you and Liam Sterling are a thing.
33:33Me and Liam?
33:35What?
33:37You know how people talk.
33:38I told them it's ridiculous, but you two do spend a lot of time together.
33:42Liam is just a client, nothing else.
33:44Right.
33:45I let people love to gossip.
33:47Anyway, I think Dylan is really serious about us.
33:50Who was that?
33:59Just work.
34:00Always something.
34:02You're still coming to set tonight, right?
34:03I have that huge scene.
34:05I won't miss it.
34:06I won't miss it.
34:36Come on, come on, come on.
34:38Cut!
34:41Dylan, I said cut!
34:42Stop punching!
34:46I didn't even realize Lena was directing this film.
34:50Brooke, she's literally your client.
34:52It's hard to keep working lately.
34:54Are you okay?
34:56You're not your usual obnoxiously organized self lately.
34:58Okay, I'm going to tell you this just because I trust you not to repeat it, but I am beyond overwhelmed.
35:09Did you get anywhere else where you're called?
35:11Yeah, I got a message today, and that on top of work and some other stuff that I'm dealing with.
35:19Just...
35:20I think you just need to get some rest.
35:22I can't.
35:23I promised Sophie I'd stay for her scenes.
35:27She's nervous.
35:30She's lucky to have you.
35:32She's like a little sister to me.
35:35Plus, if I left now, I wouldn't get any sleep.
35:38Anyway, so...
35:39Do you want me to stay over?
35:41Sleep on the couch, just so you're not alone.
35:43Like a sleepover.
35:45That actually sounds really nice, Ethan.
35:48Thanks.
35:49I owe you.
35:51Moving on to the next scene.
35:54Okay, okay.
36:01Dylan, what are you doing here?
36:03It's the woman's dressing room.
36:04You know what I'm doing.
36:05I literally don't.
36:10You know you want some of this.
36:13You don't have to pretend anymore.
36:15You want some Dylan fucking work.
36:19No!
36:21Ew!
36:22Ah!
36:23I don't want any part of you, Dylan.
36:25You're my client.
36:26I'm your publicist.
36:27Not to mention you're dating my best friend.
36:29Yeah.
36:30Yeah, she's chill as fuck.
36:32Then act like it.
36:34Because she really likes you.
36:37And if you're not serious about her, it's going to hurt.
36:39I'm only dating her for the publicity.
36:41I'm going to drop her ass as soon as the movie comes out.
36:44And then you and I can finally do that.
36:46You and I?
36:49We are never going to be together.
36:51I'm not even remotely interested in you.
36:53If you try this shit again, I'm dropping you as a client.
36:58Ah!
37:00Motherfucker!
37:01What the fuck, babe?
37:03Brooke, did you see that?
37:08This is 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 to something.
37:17Um, probably just overworked.
37:20No, go home.
37:21Get some rest.
37:22Are you sure?
37:23I'm positive.
37:24I really appreciate you coming, but I need you well-rested so that we can party this weekend, okay?
37:29Okay, fair.
37:30But do you have a ride home?
37:32Dylan's driving me.
37:33I'll see you.
37:37Ready to get out of here?
37:39Beyond ready.
37:40Okay.
37:40Okay.
37:40I'll just drive.
37:50Let's get out of here.
37:57All right.
37:57The windows and doors are locked, and the alarm system's on.
38:00Thanks for checking on.
38:03You're safe.
38:04Of course, leaving those messages is just playing a really bad prank, or it's Niles being childish again.
38:10I really think so.
38:12I do.
38:14But it's okay to be scared.
38:16I'm here for you.
38:19You don't know how much you mean to me.
38:22All right.
38:22Good night.
38:23Can you please sleep here with me?
38:25Sure.
38:27Positive.
38:27I'll always be here for you.
38:46Can't sleep?
38:48No.
38:50You either?
38:54There's something that's been on my mind.
38:55There's something I've been wanting to do there.
39:10I've been wanting this for so long.
39:13Me too.
39:16More than anything.
39:16I need you, baby.
39:19I need you, baby.
39:19I need you, baby.
39:19I need you, baby.
39:22It's a faithless road, I'm on.
39:27I need you, baby.
39:31I need you, baby.
39:31I need you, baby.
39:33Cause it's been dark in a summer long.
39:38I need you, baby.
39:40It's a faithless road, I'm on.
39:47I need you, baby.
39:51I need you, baby.
39:52Good morning.
40:08I made the coffee unbearably strong, just the way you like it.
40:11Amazing.
40:13So you're feeling better now?
40:14Huh?
40:16After what?
40:18From a full night's sleep.
40:18Oh, yeah, I slept great.
40:21Thanks for staying with me.
40:22I finally felt a little safe.
40:24No problem.
40:25Plus your bed's infinitely comfier than mine.
40:27That's sad, Ethan.
40:30Hey, mind if I shower real quick before work?
40:33Yeah, you can use the gas bedroom.
40:34Cool.
40:38Ethan?
40:39You need a towel.
40:40Mom, I forgot to do it.
40:57Wait, we stuck the towels over.
41:00Thanks.
41:01Yeah.
41:02Wanna jump in with me?
41:04Shut up, baby.
41:08Um, I should probably go get that.
41:10Want me to check it out?
41:11No.
41:11No, they're okay.
41:12You shower.
41:13I'll be quick.
41:23Liam, what are you doing here?
41:25You've been ignoring my calls.
41:27We're supposed to be distancing.
41:29I'm over that.
41:30Look, can I come inside?
41:31No.
41:34No, I don't think that's a good idea.
41:36You're being really weird.
41:37No, I'm being cautious.
41:39Okay?
41:40People can't see us together.
41:42There's already rumors swirling.
41:44So let rumors be rumors, especially if they're true.
41:49No one has to know that.
41:52So what if we're attracted to each other?
41:54So what if I want to see you, Brooke?
41:56I don't care, all right?
41:57I like being around you, and I want to explore our connection.
41:59I can't do this, okay?
42:05Brooke, Brooke, come on, wait.
42:13Your shower head's incredible.
42:16You've got to get your interior designer's contact info.
42:18Yeah, they're great.
42:19I'll give it to you.
42:20Who's at the door?
42:25Um, just some girls selling cookies.
42:31Do you want to get breakfast?
42:32No, I'm just going to, uh, head to the office early.
42:36You never turned down breakfast.
42:38I'm just not hungry.
42:40See you later.
42:40So why'd you call me here?
42:49You want to offer me representation again?
42:52I'd rather eat glass, Niles.
42:54I want to know why you're leaving me these insane messages.
43:01This isn't for me.
43:03Don't bullshit us, Niles.
43:04Tell the truth.
43:06I won't be mad.
43:07Look, I didn't send you this.
43:09What about the creepy voice calls?
43:10The voice changer didn't pull me.
43:12What phone calls?
43:13Brooke, look, I don't have time for this, okay?
43:15Why don't you just admit it?
43:17Look, I'm sorry that I dropped you, but I'm a business to run.
43:21Okay?
43:22Did you do this or not?
43:24Brooke, let me tell you something.
43:27I have court dates, no movie deals, and two excessively large mansions
43:31that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for to keep out of foreclosure.
43:35So, no, I didn't have time to do whatever pranks that you're dealing with.
43:39Okay.
43:40Do you believe him?
43:41I do.
43:43So, can I go, or are you going to try to accuse me of something else I didn't do?
43:47No, you can go.
43:49Sorry.
43:53We should call the cops, right?
43:55Get an investigation going?
43:57No, not yet.
43:58Thanks, Margaret.
43:59Thanks, Margaret.
43:59The customer you're trying to reach is not available.
44:09Please call back.
44:13Hi.
44:14I questioned Niles.
44:16Um, please call me ASAP.
44:18Sophie, what's going on?
44:30I got your text.
44:32What's the emergency?
44:37He broke up with me, Brooke.
44:39What?
44:40When?
44:41When did this happen?
44:41After our last scene.
44:43He said it was because of you, that you didn't think I was good enough to be with him.
44:47What?
44:48I would never say that.
44:50He's lying.
44:51Then why would he blame you?
44:52I don't know.
44:53I guess he's using me as an excuse.
44:55I feel so stupid.
44:58I really liked him.
44:59We even got these matching bracelets.
45:02You're not stupid.
45:03Okay?
45:04Dylan messed up.
45:06You deserve better.
45:07Are you sure you didn't tell him to break up with me?
45:09I swear, okay?
45:10He's just avoiding accountability.
45:12He's a douche.
45:13How am I supposed to finish this movie with him?
45:17Sophie.
45:19You're a professional.
45:21Don't let him ruin this for you.
45:24You're right.
45:25Yeah.
45:26Okay.
45:28One second.
45:30It's Ethan.
45:35Ethan, what are you doing here?
45:37Sophie and I have a meeting.
45:37You haven't been answering any of my calls.
45:41Busy day.
45:43Sophie.
45:46What's wrong?
45:46Are you okay?
45:48Dylan broke up with me, but I'm okay.
45:51I'm so sorry to hear that.
45:52Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
45:53Because I totally understand.
45:54No, no, no, no.
45:55Absolutely not.
45:55I've been waiting to talk to you.
45:58Great.
45:59So have I.
46:01Um, Brooke, I will see you after I wrap here tonight.
46:05Can you just shut the door on your way out?
46:08Uh, yeah, sure.
46:10Um, Ethan, call me back whenever you can, okay?
46:14It's really important.
46:16Yeah, okay.
46:16I'm sorry.
46:26Almost good.
46:27It's big deal.
46:28Damn.
46:29You fucking liar.
46:30What are you talking about?
46:31Why the hell did you lie to her?
46:35You made it very clear that you were never going to sleep with me.
46:37I was only dating her to get close to you.
46:39You're disgusting.
46:41I'll make sure your career crashes and burns if you don't admit that you lied to her.
46:44I didn't lie to her.
46:46God!
46:47Okay.
46:49I lied.
46:50I lied.
46:51I'm sorry.
46:52I apologize to her tonight, okay?
46:55You trying to kill my star?
46:57He's a fool when star is clapping.
47:00Can we talk?
47:01In private.
47:07Wow, nice office.
47:08Sit down.
47:11You know what's from?
47:13Did something happen on set?
47:14You tell me.
47:15Because from where I'm standing, something's definitely going on, just not on my set.
47:20I don't understand.
47:21I'm talking about you and Liam.
47:25You introduced us, pushed us together, and all the while you were sleeping with him?
47:30No, it's not like that.
47:32Bullshit!
47:33Everyone's talking about it.
47:34You and Liam, sneaking around behind my back.
47:37You think I'm dumb?
47:37Lena, I didn't mean for this to happen.
47:41There is something going on between us, but...
47:43What?
47:43You didn't expect a pawn to respect?
47:46You set us up like pawns in your game, and now you want him for yourself?
47:49No, I truly wanted you two to be happy.
47:52You don't care about me.
47:53You only care about your selfish, matchmaking games.
47:57You didn't care what this would do to me.
47:59That's not true.
48:00Lena, I'm sorry.
48:03You're sorry you got caught.
48:04Luckily, I'm over him.
48:06He really is just a shallow pretty boy, even with your shitty PR upgrade.
48:11Well done.
48:13Get out.
48:33Um, Sophie, I said seven.
48:42It's almost eight.
48:43Sorry, we got distracted.
48:45Is that so?
48:46He's so funny.
48:47You have to tell Brooke about the story of your dog in the summer house.
48:51You mean my dog eating the lasagna that his mom made for dinner?
48:55I know that one.
48:57I was there.
49:03Hey, can you go stir the pot?
49:05Um, on the stove, I have to talk to Ethan about a jerk clam.
49:07You made dinner?
49:08On 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, I mean, I kind of believe him because I have
49:19other suspects in mind.
49:21What do you think?
49:22I don't know, Brooke.
49:23Some people are good liars, even those you wouldn't expect.
49:26Yeah, but Niles isn't that good of an actor.
49:29No, he's not.
49:30But clearly you are.
49:32What are you talking about?
49:34I don't want to get into it right now, Brooke.
49:35I'm just dropping off Soph.
49:38Soph?
49:39Since when do you two do nicknames?
49:41We have a lot in common, okay?
49:43And she sees me, Brooke.
49:44Sees you?
49:45What does that even mean?
49:47I...
49:47I was just throwing an all of a sudden, this flew through the window.
49:56It wasn't me, I swear.
49:57What is it?
49:58I knew it.
50:04Knew what?
50:08What are you talking about?
50:10Oh my god.
50:10I want to see.
50:17Holy shit, Brooke.
50:19I lied.
50:20You lied to me about the rumors.
50:22You said it was nothing.
50:24I...
50:24I didn't mean to.
50:26I wasn't trying to lie to you.
50:27You weren't trying to lie to me.
50:29We're supposed to tell each other everything.
50:30We're best friends.
50:31I didn't know how to tell you, Sophie.
50:33So what was I, Brooke?
50:35Just a backup?
50:36Someone to keep her around while you were sneaking off with Liam?
50:40No, Ethan, it wasn't like that.
50:42I didn't...
50:42You knew exactly what you were doing.
50:43What?
50:44I thought we were finally going to admit how we felt about each other more than friends.
50:53Ethan, I didn't mean to hurt you.
50:56You hurt us both, Brooke.
50:58I defended you when everybody was talking behind your back.
51:01I know.
51:02I just...
51:03I didn't want it to be real.
51:04I thought that if I ignored it, it would just go away.
51:07Well, it's pretty real now, isn't it?
51:09I thought we had something, Brooke.
51:11I hate your feelings here.
51:13Brooke, you need to figure out what you want.
51:16You can't keep playing with people's emotions.
51:17They're not a game, no matter how much you'd like them to be.
51:23I deserve better than this, Brooke.
51:24Ethan, I don't understand.
51:26I thought we were just friends.
51:27I didn't...
51:27No, bullshit.
51:31After all these years, I figured you'd realize that what we had is special.
51:35You are special to me.
51:36Yeah, maybe when you're not falling into bed with some movie store.
51:39Ethan, wait.
51:41Save it, Brooke.
51:53Oh, no.
51:53Oh, did my brick end up in your perfectly pristine kitchen?
51:57Are you happy now?
51:58Not even close.
51:59You'll pay.
52:00Go to hell.
52:05I said go to hell!
52:06Whoa, wait.
52:10What did I do?
52:11Liam?
52:12I'm sorry.
52:13I thought you were someone else.
52:15Look, can I come over?
52:16I want to see you.
52:20Fine.
52:21Good old Hollywood rumor mill strikes again.
52:27It's not a rumor if it's Trump.
52:29It was a shame things between us had to cause so much drama.
52:32It's crazy.
52:33I can craft and control all of my clients with public images, spin any story around, make
52:41bad press good, shape the way Hollywood sees them.
52:46But when it comes to people I actually care about, I'm powerless.
52:52I have this wall over everything.
52:55Everything's controlled.
52:57It looks easily managed.
52:58But no, in reality, it's such a mess.
53:03I spent so long creating these perfect lives for everyone else.
53:10I think it's just time for me to be honest about mine.
53:13You know, you can control everybody else's image.
53:15But when it comes to your own life, sometimes the spotlight burns too bright.
53:19I should have understood the context for everyone.
53:23For you.
53:25For Lena.
53:26For Ethan.
53:27You know, Ethan's not totally innocent in all this either.
53:33He's been keeping things bottled up for way too long.
53:35I should have just been honest with him.
53:37Now I'm afraid that I lost him for good.
53:40You won't lose me.
53:41To be determined.
53:42Maybe it's time to stop worrying about control.
53:44Just let things happen naturally.
53:54Liam, I'm sorry.
53:55You love Ethan.
53:57Yeah.
53:58Yeah.
54:00I do.
54:02I understand.
54:04And for what it's worth, I think you should go get what you want.
54:07You're not upset?
54:08I am.
54:10But I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:12I'm sorry.
54:13I'm sorry.
54:13I'm sorry.
54:14I'm sorry.
54:14I'm sorry.
54:15I would never want to stop you from following your heart.
54:16I'm sorry.
54:16I'll do it.
54:17I'm sorry.
54:17I'm sorry.
54:18I'm sorry.
54:18I'm sorry.
54:18I'm sorry.
54:19I'm sorry.
54:19Hi, Ethan.
54:23Surprise, Brooke.
54:24It's you.
54:26Where's Ethan?
54:27Ethan and Sophie are with me.
54:29Let's just say they're safe, for now.
54:30You have Sophie too?
54:32Where are you?
54:34Oh, you'll know soon enough.
54:36But here's the thing.
54:37If you want to see them again, play by my rules.
54:39I'll do anything.
54:40Check your texts.
54:47Let's go.
54:48I'll drive.
54:58Wait.
54:59If things get out of control, you need to run.
55:01Okay?
55:02This doesn't involve you.
55:03I'm not leaving your side.
55:05Okay.
55:10Hello?
55:17Welcome to the final act, Brooke.
55:20I'm so glad you could make it.
55:22Let them go.
55:23Thanks for bringing another famous face to me.
55:25I'll make a great addition to my kill town.
55:27No one's getting killed tonight.
55:31Leo!
55:31No!
55:31Well, I guess it's time for the big reveal.
55:44Niles, you swore that it wasn't Brooke.
55:47I'm a fucking actor.
55:49All we do is lie.
55:50You know, Brooke, for someone who thinks they hold all the power, you really are just another
55:54stupid, stupid Hollywood girl.
55:58You're insane.
55:59Tell me what you want so we can get this over with.
56:01What do I want?
56:03I want you all to feel like I felt when I was betrayed.
56:09You think you're untouchable.
56:11CR queen.
56:13Always in control.
56:15But Brooke, you're just like the rest of us.
56:19Disposable.
56:19This is all because of your stupid ego.
56:24Ego?
56:25No.
56:26Brooke, this is about you.
56:27Your company.
56:29Liam.
56:30Sophie.
56:31Ethan.
56:32They stole your attention from me.
56:35But I'm taking it back.
56:37You're wrong, Niles.
56:39PR isn't about power.
56:41It's about helping people.
56:42And I tried to help you, but you're Beyonce.
56:45Nope.
56:47Brooke, be honest with yourself.
56:48It's about fending people to your will.
56:54Do you really think that you can play puppet master forever?
57:05You're quick.
57:07But not will you.
57:11Go to hell.
57:12I don't think so.
57:13I don't think so.
57:18Show's over, Niles.
57:24I'm a fucking movie star.
57:26You can't kill me.
57:27I'm in control.
57:28I don't think so.
57:41I don't think so.
57:42I don't think so.
57:42Brooke, you really kicked his ass.
57:44Oh my god, you fucked him up.
57:46Brooke, I'm so sorry.
57:48I know this is all my fault.
57:50Brooke.
57:50I've wasted the last ten years of my life hiding the way I felt about you.
57:55Without one hiding.
57:57I'm so desperately in love with you.
58:00I don't want to spend another day of my life without you by my side.
58:02I will not stop fighting until I win you back from Liam.
58:05Ethan, Liam and I were nothing, okay?
58:07I'm in love with you.
58:09Okay?
58:10And I'm sorry that I've been hiding before.
58:22I love you, Ethan Prescott.
58:24I love you, Brooke.
58:24I love you, Brooke.
58:28Guys, I'm still tied up.
58:36No, it's cool.
58:37I got it.
58:37Liam, I'm so glad you're okay.
58:39Hey, can I ask you something?
58:44Anything.
58:45That looked like really heroic, right?
58:48I mean, until I got knocked out.
58:50Yes.
58:51Um, it was fair.
58:56When do you say we get out of here?
58:58That sounds like a good idea to me.
59:00Um, guys?
59:02Where's Niles?
59:04He must have ran off.
59:06He won't get very far.
59:08He's not very fast, Runner.
59:09You did good, Brooke.
59:28Couldn't do it without you.
59:30What do you say we take to the carpet plants?
59:32I'd go anywhere with.
59:36We'll have a song of the whole world dreams of
59:41If you'll never give up, you'll be enough for me
