Original subtitles

Previously on Paper Dolls...

I tried to keep it all separate, the different parts of me.

What would I have to do?

To be this in love, I couldn't be happier.

Two of our biggest artists debuting their duet

live on national television.

Never took you for a creative.

With this kind of entrepreneurial thinking

and your experience...

Roger's opening a new sub-label.

Wants me to find him new talent.

You didn't know that, did you?

Hey, guys. Where are you going? Are we moving?

- Just us. - Why?

Are you serious?

After the shit you just pulled with Eli?

# I can see your body, see that body... #

When I call, you answer.

I didn't hear from you last night.

You're a superstar, Izzy. You always were.

Izzy, what happened?

You and I don't do this anymore, remember?

- Izzy... - I'm handling it.

OK, I spy with my little eye

something beginning with T.

- Teddy. - How did you know?!

And that was 'Can't Touch' by Harlow.

When I say we play nothing but the hits,

I actually mean variety.

We play what the people want, Gordie.

You know, just knowing that Harlow are interstate,

just straightaway, I sleep better at night.

- Oh, God. - I do!

When are you gonna get over it?

Can you turn that shit off? He's killing my vibe.

Now, where were we? Oh, yeah, that's right!

Heartbreak Tour!

We're on tour, bitches!

Where are we? Brisbane? Hi, Brisbane!

# We like to party We like, we like to party

# We like to party

# We like, we like to party

# We like to party We like, we like to party

# We like to party... #

Wake up!

We are in Adelaide.

# I got something to tell you... #

-Argh! -What?

I just spent time on that.

# Wheels in motion... #

Izzy!

# Get ready 'cause we're coming through

# Coming through, coming through... #

# Hear what I say now

# Happiness is just around the corner

# Hey, now, hey, now... #

Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

# The Vengabus is coming

# And everybody's jumping

# New York to San Francisco

# An intercity disco... #

Last show of a sold-out tour!

Drink up, motherfuckers!

# We like to party

# We like to party We like... #

Who's that?

-Iz, where are you going? -What's going on?

I don't know.

Izzy, stop!

Just back off, OK?

Izzy, you're shitfaced. Come on, babes.

Izzy, what's going on?

Just... He won't leave me alone. He won't leave me alone.

Who?

-Just please go away, OK? -Izzy! Izzy!

Fuck off, OK?!

Just get out of here! Why are you even here?!

Hello?

You're losing your grip, Margot.

Life on tour going to your head?

I'm sorry?

You don't know, do you?

Is everything alright?

Yeah, two seconds.

Um, look, if this is about the party,

they're just letting off some steam.

You know how it goes.

No, it's more than that.

It's on the front page of the fuckin' newspaper!

Hang on.

Yeah, I'll handle it.

Yeah, the boys are better too.

Oh, yeah, tour life is whore life, baby!

Quiet, please.

Oh, Mummy's here.

Where's Izzy?

Ooh, Mummy's pissed.

She didn't answer her door.

She's probably still passed out.

I wouldn't blame her after last night.

What does that mean?

Someone kept calling her and she freaked out.

OK. Can I trust you all to get to the school on time?

We'll meet you there. I need to set up a photo op to bury this.

Look who's up! Look who's up!

Coming!

You OK, Teddy?

- Here we go. - You're looking a little green.

Spew! Spew! Spew! Spew!

Eugh!

Yuck.

Izzy! Open up! I'm coming in.

Abby. Abby, leave that lady alone.

Holy shit!

Well, this brings back memories.

-Invasive, much? -Clearly you haven't slept.

You look like shit.

I'm working. I'm focused. I haven't fucked up once on stage.

Yeah, but you're writing yourself off,

you're disappearing.

Because there's cameras in my face 24/7.

You told me to back off, so I did.

But when it affects your job, it becomes my problem.

I'm fine.

So, if you're not going to talk to me about it, then,

whatever's going on with whomever,

you need to find a way to ground yourself, Izzy,

because you are one spiral away from it all falling apart again.

If you're not outside in five minutes,

I'm moving you out of this room and into mine. OK?

# Stop callin' me Callin' me

# Please stop stalkin' me Stalkin' me

# Just a fantasy, fantasy

# That you have with me... #

Yes! Oh, yeah!

# Please stop stalkin' me Stalkin' me

# Just a fantasy, fantasy... #

Izzy James,

how does it feel to be back on the home turf?

Yeah, it's surreal.

-Can you sign this, please? -Yeah, of course.

We're obsessed with you.

I can't believe you went to the same school as us.

Yeah, I did.

We want to be just like you when we grow up.

It's true, we totally want to be like you. You're incredible.

You don't. Nobody wants to be like me. Trust me.

You want to be better than Izzy, right?

If I can do it, you can do it too, yeah?

Thank you!

Iz, what the hell?

Alright, get in close.

The smiles, the sweetness. Front page-worthy.

How much longer do we have to do this for?

Consider it karma, girls!

Big smiles! That's it. Just a little bit longer.

Two, three, four, five, six.

Alright, you ready, Iz?

Let's go, Iz!

Show us what you got!

Whoo-hoo!

- Ooh! - And four, and five.

Oh, my God!

Weak effort!

Is that all you got?

Oh!

I'd like a one on one with that hottie.

-Cover for me. -Huh?

Oh! Izzy needs to pee!

Can we keep the pee chat to a minimum, please, Annabel?

Beau!

Coming back, you've been on my mind,

but I wasn't sure if you'd want to see me after what happened.

Sorry, but seeing you in that gym again, it's just...

-So, what, you work here now? -Yeah.

You know, I'm shaping the minds of the future,

one child at a time.

You skipped the whole of tenth grade.

Yeah, but you didn't. That's how I passed.

You look good.

Not half-bad yourself.

Izzy! We're leaving.

Ah! Hello, handsome.

-Ah, Beau, this is... -Annabel.

-Oh. -Yeah, I know.

He knows.

Yeah, the town can't get enough of 'Pop Rush'.

- Oh! - Right.

You two can eye-fuck each other another time

because Margot is on a rampage.

-Sorry, I've got to go. -No, it's all good.

She's gotta go!

I'll see you in, what, 7 years? - 'Bye.

Holy shitballs, he is fuckin' hot!

Here we are!

-Hurry up. -I'm getting on and off you.

So, who's the sex on a stick?

Annabel...

He's hot. He must be spoken about.

Hometown love story? That's very Britney.

He's your twin flame.

It was a high-school thing anyway.

I just... I fucked it up and...

Let's go!

# You keep on telling me

# The way I gotta be

# You're just too proud to see

# I'm back on top, hey

# I'm my own entity

# Won't be no wannabe... #

Well, maybe a little bit.

-Hey, be nice. -Let's...

Let's focus!

- # Then we go low -# Oh, low... #

Oh, shame. Is your head hurting, old man?

Don't start.

# Izzy's getting a little bit higher tonight

# Yeah, she's gonna set it on fire tonight... #

OK!

# Mama gonna watch me go out tonight

# Say un, deux, trois

# Kick it to the left

# And shake it to the right... #

Well, don't stop on account of me.

-What the fuck? -Well, that's not great.

The tabloids are making a mockery of you all,

and I can see why.

Izzy, a word.

What?

I don't pick up your calls

and you just show up?

You're on the front page of the newspaper, shitfaced.

Are you OK?

I'm just trying to do my job.

And I don't want your phone calls, OK? It's unprofessional.

I understand you're upset,

but this is not the way to handle it.

I'm not upset.

Think Dad's pissed about the article?

Maybe I should be trashed on the front of a newspaper.

That's the only way he'll give a shit.

It's a long way to fly out just to tell her off.

He hasn't flown out before, right?

No.

That's weird.

It's not great.

Well, I'm here because I'm worried about you.

Oh, God. Go home...to your wife.

You and I, we're not done. You know that.

I can assure you, I'm only here for Harlow.

Well, we need to talk.

Six o'clock. My motel room.

And I, ah... I bought this for you.

I always loved that colour on you.

Hi. All good?

Great, yeah.

Let's get back to it, shall we?

Hey. Izzy...

- # You keep on telling me -# Ooh-ooh

# The way I've got... #

Annabel, a hundred percent, OK? The camera's always on.

It's a tech run.

# I'm back on top Hey

# I'm my own entity

# Won't be no wannabe

# Got stung but now you see

# I'm back on top

# I say we go high - # How high?

- # Then we go low -# Oh, low

# Then we gotta... #

- Hello? Testing. My mic is off. - Cut. Cut!

You wanna know why I'm here? This is why I'm here.

There's no discipline. There's no focus.

To be fair, they killed it earlier.

And you? Getting trashed with the girls?

No.

This is no time to be complacent, Teddy.

Not with the sub-label on the line.

I'm not.

Well, good,

because you're certainly not there yet.

OK.

You four go over the choreography again. Izzy.

-What's going on? -Nothing.

Then why is he here?

I don't know. You tell me.

Look, if there is something going on again,

you can talk to me about it.

Oh, my God. Do you really think I'm that stupid?

Not stupid, scared.

Margot.

Not now, Teddy.

We have a bit of a situation.

And in entertainment news,

chart-topping pop star Eli Bastion has been arrested

for indecent exposure...

Fuck.

..after being caught engaging in sexual intercourse

with another man.

Questions are now circling around Eli's girlfriend,

Harlow member, Jade Hart.

She is yet to comment.

What a bin fire!

-Margot, what does... -OK, look, I just need a second.

-Eli's freaking out. -OK, one thing at a time, Teddy.

We don't have time.

Won't be long till the press comes for Jade too.

-Comes for her how? -OK, you know what?

Everyone out. I don't...

Please, out now. I need a moment with Jade.

-We can stay for support. -Out now.

Now. You too, out.

You know the only reason that they arrested him

is because he's gay?

He's one of the top artists in the country, Margot,

and they turned on him like that.

OK, you need to hold it together.

Oh, fuck!

Alright, we need to move quickly.

The press will speculate that you knew about Eli.

I'm going to set up an interview

for you to put the rumours to bed.

Got it?

What, just tell everyone he's been lying to me?

Well, if you don't, they're gonna wonder

why you agreed to date a gay man if you're not gay yourself.

Come on, Jade.

Fuck!

Well, like, what are my other options?

Well, then I should just come out then, right?

Fuck, it's none of anyone's fucking business.

OK, we will get through this.

I promise you, we will get through this.

So, your answers will be written for you.

Just think of it like another performance.

You've got to trust me. OK, you got it?

Alright, just give me a sec.

Hi. Look, I'm sorry for calling out of the blue.

It's just, um, I need a favour.

Again, like you mean it.

Come on.

One, two, three. Sloppy feet!

We're staying here till you get it.

You look bottom of the barrel.

You look sad.

You honestly look like sad, sad people.

OK. OK, can we...

Can we stop it with the sadsie-sadsie bullshit?

Come on, Teddy, we're exhausted.

Chucks, I'm hungover as shit

and I've brought up everything I've eaten in the last 24 hours.

-Yuck. -Yeah, but I'm here.

OK? I'm present.

No, you just don't want Dad to fire you.

Surely he's here because of the whole Eli thing, right?

I hope not.

Well, Roger's here for somethin, that's for sure.

After rehearsals, I'll ask him what the hell's going on.

Can we cut it with the bullshit, please?

We haven't even recorded the second album

and you're talking shit,

acting like the fucking Beatles.

You're not there yet.

You aren't in a position

where you can take your foot off the pedal.

The tour's been great. We've sold out every show.

One tour.

One tour. You shouldn't be happy with that.

You should want to sell out 20, 30.

Travel the fucking world. Instead, you're coasting.

You were shitfaced with us last night!

Yeah, well, I've been going too easy

on you guys and it stops today.

Get your head in the game and feet on the ground

because this?

This will be over before you even realise.

Pouf! Gone. Unless you focus.

Again.

- From where? - From the top!

This is horseshit. I have heat stroke.

Don't be so dramatic.

Iz.

Got a visitor.

Hi, gorgeous!

Alright, get a good night's sleep.

We're back at it tomorrow.

Seriously?

Daddy's not playing nice anymore.

Eww, don't call yourself 'Daddy'. Freak.

Hi.

-Hey. -What are you doing here?

You know, just walking.

Right. Do you wanna hang?

Yeah, sure.

Seriously, I was just passing through

and then I see you and I was like, "Two times in one day?

-"Yeah, OK, I'm gonna say hey." -Sure.

Is it strange being back?

So fucking strange!

Hey, what about your parents? Did you speak to 'em?

Um, well,

my mum took all the money from my first single

and I've been living out of my car

up until Harlow, so I'd say no.

- Shit. - Yeah.

And, um, what about you?

-Married with five kids? -No, no, no.

No, I've been pining after you

because technically you and I are still dating.

Yeah, officially we never broke up.

Fuck, you just had to bring it up.

Yeah, well, you kind of just dumped and ran.

Actually, no. No, just ran, really.

If I could take it back, I would.

You have no idea how much I would.

Ah, well, I just figured you'd made it to the big time

and met someone else.

Just the music industry. I kinda lost sight of who I was.

Well, when you love something, it's hard not to.

I mean, we can't all be a, um...

A doll in a box.

Oh! Oh, my God, you watched that?

- Way too many times. - Oh!

You got all the moves and everything!

Look at you!

Oh. I called for a favour. I didn't expect you to show up.

Well, you know, you're a close friend of the network.

It's the least I could do.

Hey, can we get a bottle of pinot gris and two glasses?

-Is white OK? -Mm-hm.

Perfect. Coming right up.

Oh, right.

Might get a little bit of extra attention tonight.

-Hey, thank you for coming. -Yeah.

I need to do some serious damage control with Jade

and I thought your morning show would be perfect for the story.

Yeah, you don't need to convince me. It's a win-win.

So, did Jade know? Is it a beard situation?

What do you think?

Is she OK?

I just need to get her through unscathed.

OK. We can do that.

What is it? What do you want?

Oh...

EP of one of the biggest morning shows in the country

shows up in bumfuck nowhere.

You want something. Just say it.

Oh...

Here it comes.

I have a pitch.

-What will it cost me? -Come work for me.

-Bullshit. -No shit.

The network is setting up season two of 'Pop Rush'

and they want me to run it and I want to run it with you.

You've made quite an impact on the show.

The camera loves you, the fans love you.

-That's what they all say. -I mean it.

The show's going to be franchised internationally.

It's big business for us.

You and I were fucking great together.

Come work with me.

But the better side, so...

Oh, right.

Well, thank you for walking me to my door.

Oh, it's dangerous out there.

-This has been really nice. -Yeah.

I'm not allowed to have boys in my room, so...

And I'm 16 again.

Yeah, you know what?

It is pretty dangerous out there, isn't it?

Yeah, the most dangerous.

Mm.

"He's still here. Oh, my God!"

"Oh, I thought he'd leave. What a psychopath!"

"Does he know who I am?"

Oh, shut up! Shut up!

-We should do this. -Do what?

Us. You know, this.

I just... Let's give this a go.

You're a massive fucking pop star

and I'm nobody.

How is that gonna work?

Uh, that's why it will work. OK?

I think. I hope.

Are you trying to win me back, Izzy James?

# I'm back on top Nah, nah, nah, nah... #

Is there anything I can do to make you stay?

-I need to go. -No!

-When do you leave? -Tomorrow.

-Boo! -I'll put your name backstage.

-You come to the show today. -Fuck, yeah!

- I'll see you soon, OK? - OK.

Roger, you...

What game do you think you're playing,

parading him in front of me?

-It's not like that. -It's exactly like that.

I told you we were gonna talk last night.

-I was busy. -Oh.

Yeah, I can see that.

Look, you can hang out

with as many high-school boys as you like,

but they're not like us.

-They'll never be like us. -I'm not like you.

Izzy, you're the only thing that I want.

Izzy! Teddy wants us. Another shitty rehearsal.

Yeah. Uh, I'll be out in a sec.

OK.

- Hey. - Hey.

- About the offer... - Need more time.

-Is it Roger? -What do you mean?

Is he the reason that you're so reluctant to leave?

I don't think you know how to say no to him.

Did you offer me this job to get me away from Roger?

Because he's why we broke up, right?

I've just never understood your loyalty to him.

The shit that you clean up for him!

Don't judge me. We all do shit we don't want to do.

Not all of us. You sacrificed a whole life for him.

I mean, he didn't even ask you to do that.

Just think about it, huh?

OK, you good?

-Who was that? -Oh, the EP.

Pretty small gig for her to fly out for.

Is she doing it because you two are together?

-No, we're not. -Don't bullshit me, Margot.

It wasn't relevant. It's not relevant.

You let me pour my heart out to you.

Oh, right, I forgot.

I'm just another work problem for you to solve, right?

It's never personal with you.

You have the talking points?

-You know what to say? -Sure do.

And we're going live in three, two...

Jade, you've had a rocky couple of days.

-How are you coping? -I'm OK.

The Harlow schedule has been a welcome distraction.

It must be hard, though -

the one person that you truly love could do this to you.

So when did you find out?

On the TV, much like everyone else.

You understand why everyone finds that hard to believe?

Well, I mean, is it really anyone's business?

When you're a celebrity,

that comes with the territory.

He did what he had to do to survive.

If he felt like he could be honest, then he would have been.

-That's not really the point. -Well, actually, it is.

See, you're calling him a liar

when you should be asking why he felt the need

to lie in the first place.

Seems like you have a personal investment in that.

You know what? I can't. I can't.

You have no idea the cost of getting a shot at your dream.

Feeling trapped, exposed.

Pretending to be something that you're not.

But, hey, that's just the fuckin' music business,

isn't it, peeps?

It's a fuckin' riot.

Can we leave now?

Because I'm done with this conversation.

It should be about the music. That's it.

OK, let's cross back to the studio in three, two...

OK, everybody out.

Hey, Lil, how are we feeling

about the last performance of the tour?

Cannot wait!

Good, 'cause we're late. Let's keep the focus, girls!

So, I heard someone giggling in your room last night.

-Did you get naughty? -No.

Sexy, sexy times, bitch!

Dad, I tried to call you last night.

-Why? -Um, I wanted to talk to you.

-Well, I'm busy. -What's new?

Look, I'm sorry, honey.

After your performance, why don't we go and have dinner?

-We can chat then, yeah? -Fine.

Head into make-up. I'll meet you in there.

That was beautifully handled this morning.

I can't do their interviews for them, Roger.

Well, what can you do, Margot?

Because I'm scratching my fuckin' head.

Hi, you've called Helena Michaels.

Please leave a message.

Helena, it's me.

Send me the contract, I'm in.

Um, it was a shock to all of us.

I suspected, but I didn't know for sure.

The only thing is, it's about protecting Jade now.

Um, but, I mean, you let me know

if there's anything else to say. 'Bye.

Hello?

We are done. I mean it.

I don't believe you.

Izzy. Izzy!

- Hey! - Hey, hello.

-Izzy? -You gonna give me a tour?

Mm-hm.

Oh, I see!

I missed you today.

Yeah, I missed you too.

Beau! Beau!

Where the hell have you been?

Ooh! Hello!

-You two? Enough with the PDA. -Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

-It's like herding cats. -Welcome to my world.

Alright now, get ready! Get excited!

Harlow are on their way!

Izzy.

OK, come on, Harlow.

Hands.

Harlow!

- Let's go, girls. - I'll see you later.

-Kill it. -Enjoy the show.

What's going on with you? You're being weird.

Just tired, I guess.

Iz. You good?

Come on! Make some noise for Harlow!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Beau! Hey.

Beau! Hey!

Beau, what did he say to you?

Did you call him? Was he listening to us?

-You're fucking sick. -I had to do that, OK?

Because he doesn't believe that I want you

and I needed him to stop.

Was he the reason you stopped talking to me seven years ago?

It's complicated.

Yeah, that may have been. Sure. But this?

You called him, Izzy. You chose to do that.

You don't understand.

This was never gonna work.

Beau! No!

Beau!

No.
