The Arrangement

Previously on The Arrangement

I'm going to Oslo. It's the only way to stop this.

What makes you think that you can stop it?

That was amazing.

You are amazing.

Have you looked at the language in this contract?

He's expecting you to be the perfect girlfriend.

You and I have a secret,

so unless you want me to tell people about it,

we better start talking about a new deal.

What's your name? Annika.

You're the truth.

That's the only thing I care about.

Look, now the studio owes me,

so they're gonna have to let me direct the next movie.

Oh. That was your tradeoff for getting rid of me.

I have a missing persons case. Sophie Marchuk.

Okay. I screwed this up. I love you. That's it.

What are you doing?

I'm going to Oslo. It's the only way to stop this.

What makes you think you can stop it?

You know, even if you make it there,

you won't survive.

The agency has a kill plan. It's already in place.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Sorry, sorry, can we just go again? Okay, cut.

Get the glycerin drops.

Maybe I could just make a different choice.

She's scared. Maybe... maybe I don't have to cry.

Scared is not an expression of this moment.

I need tears.

And can we expose her eyes a bit more?

All right, let's take ten!

You okay?

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this moment.

I'm sorry, the "Vanity Fair" person wants to push till 2:00.

Yes.

Stay with it. You'll get there.

This is going well.

Well, you're finding some great moments.

That's because I'm remembering

what it was like to do it with Megan.

She nailed this, remember?

Now she's not even talking to me.

Well, she can't just not talk to you.

That doesn't make me feel any better.

Look, the camera loves Amelia.

She'll be fine, and Megan will get over it.

She'll get over it? Really?

You guys seem good.

Nothing but love for you. I got nothing but love for you.

Brandon Drake?

Did you invite him down?

I'm working with him on the life-after-sports program

for pro athletes.

Oh, yeah? Where are you at with that?

Well, we haven't talked since the ESPYs.

He's been busy. We both are.

Bright kid. Family man, natural leader.

I thought he'd do more after the intro workshop.

I'm trying. At least he's here.

Yeah, hopefully, he'll stick around this time.

If we could get the Institute a presence in those locker rooms...

Dude, I know.

Hey, why don't you come hang out with us?

We're actually gonna get a workout in.

Uh, yeah, no, I don't want to shake anyone's confidence.

Listen, Kyle, I know the circumstances

aren't perfect, but look at what you're doing here.

Application, recruitment.

Building my column.

Yeah, exactly where you want to be.

There he is. Hey.

Hey. What's up, champ?

Thanks for coming by.

Actors get replaced all the time.

Ryan Gosling was replaced by Mark Wahlberg

in "The Lovely Bones" after he gained 50 pounds

for the part, so you shouldn't blame Kyle.

I'm not blaming him. I'm just taking some time.

Listen, you signed a $10 million contract to be with the guy.

Now you won't talk to him, so you are in breach.

Breach? Where does it say

I can't take some time to myself?

"Partner must maintain

"regular communication with Kyle West.

"Partner may not avoid or ignore attempts to communicate by Kyle West.

"If partner intentionally allows

"communication with Kyle West to lapse in excess of three days,

"partner may be held in breach."

I only get three days?

At $5,480 per, so buck up.

Please don't quote that number again.

Could we talk business? This is business.

And I will call him.

Did you read the play?

No, I didn't read the play.

You shouldn't have either, but my lovely assistant

decided to think outside the box and send it to you.

Mia! You're fired!

Okay.

It's literally the only decent thing I've read.

Everyone is still waiting to see how you're gonna handle this,

so you can make the smart, unflappable choice...

like the recurring role in "NCIS: New Orleans"...

or you can wallow in your own shit and do a play.

When I signed the contract, Leslie, you told me I would have

the money and the freedom to do whatever I wanted.

Megan... You said that exact thing,

whatever I wanted, and... Megan.

If our first move after getting dumped from a Kyle West movie

is a play, I will be the butt of jokes.

Literally the butt of jokes.

Come on, Les.

Everyone knows you're an amazing agent.

I hate you. Get out.

I'll call you. Love you.

Holy shit.

What?

It's Megan Morrison.

Daisy? What are you doing in L.A.?

Come here.

Hey.

My agents put a gun to my head.

Their office is upstairs.

Oh, my God, mine too.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you right now.

Me too. I have to ask you, though.

Why didn't you tell me in Venice who your boyfriend is?

Oh, I just...

I don't know, I wanted you to think of me

as the chick from the town next to yours. It's simpler.

So it's actually a real relationship?

Of course it's real.

Okay. No, it's just... I read in "Variety"

you got booted off his movie, and I just don't understand

how that happens if you're really together,

or maybe it's just Hollywood. You read the trades?

Hey... I hate-read.

Well, I'm sure "Variety" tells the story

much better than I do. Hmm.

Is it cool if we don't talk about it?

I just... I wouldn't mind taking a break

from the whole celebrity girlfriend thing.

Okay.

Do you want to on an adventure with me instead?

God, yes.

Cool. I am going to show you...

what I'm getting into... You're scar

for my next film. You're scaring me right now.

Come on.

Hey. Yeah, we're here.

Okay.

All right, bye.

I don't feel nervous, but my knees are shaking.

It's called being alive, sister.

Marcus!

Hey.

Okay. Come here. What's going on?

Marcus was the DP on my thesis film.

Now he's got a kid, he's gotta make bank.

Isn't that true? This's my friend Megan.

Nice to meet you. Come on, I'll bring you in.

Uh, normally we don't have visitors, so just be cool.

So this is the crime scene.

Okay, I'm hard. Let's go.

Where we at?

Okay, this is really happening. Oh, yeah.

Who are they? My friends, good people.

Okay. Welcome.

Okay, people, quiet on the set.

I just want to tell stories about real people,

you know what I mean? Mm-hmm.

And porn is just real in a way that Hollywood can never be.

Yeah, this is real. Oh, yeah.

Ready? You're ready.

I just want a way in that hasn't been done before.

I'm gonna come down to you this way.

That's pretty good. Does this read? It's good?

Yeah, yeah, it's really good. Let's check it.

Oh, my God!

Hi. Are you Megan Morrison?

I'm Megan Whore-ison.

Wha... uh...

Sorry, no, I'm Brenna, but I play you

in the porn version of your life!

Oh, my God! Oh.

Oh, my God, what are you doing here?

Please don't leave!

It's amazing. Okay, I'm ready.

Okay.

What? I don't know.

Oh...

Just watched live porn.

I can cross that off my list.

Oh, your list of what?

Megan?

Hey. Oh, God. Hi.

I have to say, I was totally meant to play you.
