00:00:00I am the president of Lavigne. I handle the business side of things.
00:00:05Go ahead, go ahead. Hi, Lauren.
00:00:14Well, my French is limited to merci and bonjour, so merci, bonjour.
00:00:26Hi, Lauren.
00:00:31Wonderful. Okay, great. Thank you, guys.
00:00:35What did you say? Absolutely not. This conversation is over.
00:00:41Okay, it's Gérard. Just Gérard.
00:00:44Do you know what I will do to you if you threaten me?
00:00:55Virgil, you have given us a dream.
00:00:57It is not merely glamorous, but it is going to make us a ton of money.
00:01:02Bravo, Virgil. Together, we are magic.
00:01:07Ari? Oui?
00:01:09Meet our newest addition.
00:01:11Must be Lauren. Hi.
00:01:13Ari is the chairman and the CEO of Rail and Chutes, the company that now owns Lavigne.
00:01:17Oh, so nice to meet you. Likewise. Do you like the place?
00:01:19I love it.
00:01:21Have you seen our stone-faced handbags?
00:01:23This is where they are assembled and then sold for...
00:01:278,500 to 300,000. They actually fetch a pretty penny on the black market, too.
00:01:32Oui. Counterfeiting is a huge problem for us, with millions of euros siphoned off each year.
00:01:43Can you say which one is a fake?
00:01:46No, they look pretty identical to me.
00:01:49No, no, no. First of all, the stone is hand-picked by me.
00:01:55Knock-offs cannot match its specific texture.
00:02:00But also notice the cheap factory lining, the messy stitchwork, and the cheap hardware.
00:02:15An authentic Lavigne handbag.
00:02:19He's produced by hand with the finest materials, even around the stone.
00:02:27And it takes hours, hundreds of hours, to complete.
00:02:44So, how on earth would you safeguard against fakes?
00:02:47Well, we have security measures in place, like serial numbers,
00:02:51and strict inventory control over all handbag materials, from the thread to the hardware.
00:02:56It's all very specific.
00:02:59Sadly, we've had some production delays from the imported Italian leather.
00:03:04And you're just telling me now? Is it going to be ready for the show?
00:03:08I'm afraid not.
00:03:10Roth and Schultz made a huge investment in Lavigne, and that handbag is central to our expansion plans.
00:03:15So?
00:03:17It better be unveiled at the show.
00:03:19Find a way, Gerard, or your head will roll.
00:03:23Charlotte!
00:03:25Theo, c'est pas possible. Where have you been? We're falling behind.
00:03:29Where is the list of the models for the show? We need it yesterday.
00:03:31Oh, it's here somewhere. Here it is.
00:03:33Theo, I'd actually love to help you find a system so you can stay organized.
00:03:37Bienvenue dans le monde de la mode, chérie.
00:03:39Non, non, non. Patrick, qu'est-ce que tu me fais?
00:03:41This is supposed to be an art of acclaiming clothes.
00:03:44These are so dark and moody, I can't tell what anyone is wearing.
00:03:46It's art.
00:03:48It's a disaster!
00:03:50I agree. This won't do.
00:03:52Patrick, you are fired.
00:04:00What did he just say?
00:04:02He said he'll get even.
00:04:04Tough day, huh?
00:04:06Oh, that's nothing. Sometimes it's just absolute chaos.
00:04:12You've come so far since freshman year. I mean, look at this.
00:04:16Oh, yeah, from New York.
00:04:18Your blue-oh-gray hair phase.
00:04:20No, I really don't want to talk about it.
00:04:22Well, now you're killing it in the fashion world.
00:04:25C'est la vicharre.
00:04:27I'm so proud of you.
00:04:29And now we are roommates once again.
00:04:31I love it.
00:04:33Look at that perfect beauty.
00:04:35I know, right?
00:04:36I love it.
00:04:38Look at that perfect beauty.
00:04:40That would look good on you.
00:04:42I don't know.
00:04:44I've only ever seen you wearing beige and black. Come on.
00:04:46Well, that's because beige and black are classic.
00:04:48Lauren, beige and black are safe.
00:04:50You work at La Vigne now. It's a fashion house, not a prison.
00:04:54We're going to change it up.
00:04:56Let's go!
00:05:06A dress.
00:05:08It's very nice on you.
00:05:10Merci.
00:05:12Bonjour.
00:05:14Listen, we have a scheduled meeting this morning.
00:05:16If you could just take a look at these,
00:05:18so we can go over some measurable goals.
00:05:20Tout le monde descend! Tout le monde descend!
00:05:22Wait, what's going on?
00:05:24Diana Finn is expected in less than an hour.
00:05:26Diana Finn from Lex Arbor?
00:05:28Yes. Virgin is premium in his collection
00:05:30because Diana's opinion is the only one that matters.
00:05:32Is the only one that matters?
00:05:34Yes.
00:05:37Bonjour, Diana.
00:05:39I presume this is your sister?
00:05:41Don't be silly, Virgin.
00:05:43Let's get on with the show, eh?
00:05:53I offer you the clashing harmony.
00:06:07For this collection,
00:06:09I was inspired by the glowing shapes of the city,
00:06:12the evolving architecture that will lead here,
00:06:16and the many colors that sprout in how beautiful your violence can be.
00:06:26The clashing harmony.
00:06:30How thrilling.
00:06:37If you just come upstairs,
00:06:39I can show you how we plan to expand on this idea at the show tonight.
00:06:45I think I've already seen enough, Virgin.
00:06:48Just a warning, Diana.
00:06:50There are going to be some changes on how Levin operates with Lex Arbor.
00:06:55Such as?
00:06:57Do keep me waiting.
00:06:59If you want our advertising, you're going to have to give us editorial coverage.
00:07:02Are you telling me how to run my magazine?
00:07:07It's your good fortune that you are too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
00:07:12Otherwise, someone might take it in their head to teach you a lesson.
00:07:19Come along, Evelyn.
00:07:24Well, don't you?
00:07:26You've just made an enemy out of one of the most influential forces in fashion.
00:07:30I always be full to run my show.
00:07:36I love you.
00:07:54Virgil?
00:07:58How do you feel?
00:08:00Okay, I want you to breathe in.
00:08:02Breathe out.
00:08:04Great.
00:08:05Now put your hand on my finger.
00:08:07Ready?
00:08:09Very good, very good.
00:08:11Don't make me do the three, three, three.
00:08:13Virgin, darling.
00:08:17Ricardo.
00:08:24My dear, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other.
00:08:28But her arrangement suits me perfectly.
00:08:31Don't be silly.
00:08:33We're all friends, Virgin.
00:08:36Have you ever considered a design collaboration between us?
00:08:40Ah, credito.
00:08:42Snipping at your hair, Ricardo.
00:08:45Don't expect my brain to bail you out.
00:08:48Enjoy my show.
00:08:50It's sublime.
00:08:53You will learn something, Ricardo.
00:08:59Virgin and Ricardo have had a few days of fashion school.
00:09:02As legendary as the one between La Garfield and Saint Laurent.
00:09:05This will be an interesting night.
00:09:07Charlotte?
00:09:09Oui?
00:09:11Sorry, help me.
00:09:13Okay?
00:09:15Come on, let's go.
00:09:17Okay?
00:09:19What?
00:09:21All right.
00:09:23I guess that means open the box.
00:09:25Thank you.
00:09:27What are you worrying your pretty little head about now, Marie?
00:09:30That.
00:09:32Why is she so upset?
00:09:35You are my princess.
00:09:37That's Virgil's signature pendant.
00:09:40He painted it on his favorite model who wears the big reveal dress on the runway finale.
00:09:45Magnifique, j'adore.
00:09:47It's a big deal in the modeling world.
00:09:50And now Naomi is mad at Gerard for not helping maintain her status as the loving spring Madonna.
00:10:02That looks good, Carol.
00:10:03Gerard would be a good team.
00:10:34Thank you.
00:10:54How could you do this, Gerard?
00:10:56You put me behind a column?
00:10:58You're just a blogger, Teddy.
00:11:00This is very exclusive.
00:11:01You're lucky to be here at all.
00:11:03I'm a fashion blogger with a million followers.
00:11:08Enjoy the show.
00:11:31Vous êtes merveilleux.
00:11:33Merci à mon équipe artistique for their hard work.
00:11:36Et je voudrais remercier Lauren Elliott, my secret weapon.
00:12:02Ah!
00:12:03Ah!
00:12:29Lavinia, by Virgil Smith James.
00:12:34He seems to be wearing a luxury watch in diamond cufflinks.
00:12:39So this wasn't a boat robbery uptown?
00:12:42The crowd is gathering outside.
00:12:45You heard about this guy that was brought in by the fashion police?
00:12:49They questioned him over his criminal ties.
00:12:54You know what?
00:12:55I want to read an all exit and entry point of the area right now, please.
00:12:59Hey!
00:13:00Did I hit too close to home or something?
00:13:04Criminal ties?
00:13:06Family?
00:13:09This is not a place for jokes.
00:13:15The murder weapon was identical to these hairpins used on models in the runway show.
00:13:21Now that's a fashion statement, no?
00:13:24These are some of the witnesses?
00:13:25Ouais.
00:13:27The only ones with access to this closed-off prep room before the show started.
00:13:39You sell yachts?
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:41I mean, oui.
00:13:44Inspector Andre Dubreuil.
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:46Yes, of course.
00:13:47What is your name?
00:13:48My name is Andre Dubreuil.
00:13:49And you?
00:13:50My name is Andre Dubreuil.
00:13:52May I ask you a couple of questions about what you witnessed tonight?
00:13:55Of course.
00:13:56All right.
00:13:57So after you heard the scream,
00:13:58could you confirm that you saw Charlotte Gauthier standing over the deceased with a box of these?
00:14:05A murder weapon?
00:14:07I'm sure there's an explanation.
00:14:10Just looking for a yes or no.
00:14:12Yes.
00:14:21Yes.
00:14:22Charlotte Gauthier, I'm going to need you to come to the promissory immediately.
00:14:31All right.
00:14:32Excusez-moi, but this is not your land or liberty.
00:14:35We have rules in France.
00:14:36And the suspect...
00:14:37Suspect?
00:14:38Yes.
00:14:39I was saying the suspect, we can keep them more than 48 hours without any charge.
00:14:43Understood.
00:14:45Now.
00:14:48Roger Wilson James.
00:14:49Oui?
00:14:50Could you tell me why the murder weapon was engraved with your name?
00:14:54You clearly know nothing about fashion.
00:14:56Of course, my name is on the hairpin.
00:14:59They all have my name on them.
00:15:00It's my brand.
00:15:03Pardon?
00:15:05Are you saying I am the suspect?
00:15:09Absurd.
00:15:10André.
00:15:11Excuse me, André.
00:15:12Inspecteur Duvray.
00:15:14Inspection...
00:15:16Duvray.
00:15:17Inspection...
00:15:18Forget it.
00:15:19There's no way that Virgil or Charlotte could have killed Gerard.
00:15:22I see.
00:15:23Maybe you know something no one knows.
00:15:26But you know who did it.
00:15:28Who did it?
00:15:29I don't know.
00:15:30You don't know.
00:15:31I see.
00:15:33I will need a list of all the guests and the employees all at once.
00:15:37All at once.
00:15:38Understood?
00:15:39Oui.
00:15:40Of course.
00:15:50Duvray.
00:15:52Captain Fontaine.
00:15:53Is our suspect talking yet?
00:15:55No.
00:15:56Unfortunately, this case has attracted a lot of unwanted attention.
00:16:01I'm getting all sorts of pressure from the top.
00:16:04Which means we need to move swiftly, but carefully.
00:16:10Do we have a time of death?
00:16:11I'm waiting on the official medical report.
00:16:13Any prints on the murder weapon?
00:16:14I would have that within the hour.
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:18Until we can positively tie evidence to Miss Cotillet,
00:16:20find out who else had the reason to murder Gerard Varane.
00:16:23Oui, Captain Fontaine.
00:16:34Bonjour.
00:16:36T'as quelque chose là?
00:16:38I checked with the event space.
00:16:40No security footage of the backstage area or the bridge to the mezzanine.
00:16:44Only the runway show.
00:16:45Inspector Diopla?
00:16:46No, that's my friend.
00:16:48He's my friend.
00:16:49It's good.
00:16:50Inspector Diopla!
00:16:51Duvray.
00:16:52Inspector Duvray.
00:16:54C'est bon.
00:16:56Miss Elliott.
00:16:57Hi.
00:16:58No, please call me Lauren.
00:16:59I demand to see Charlotte.
00:17:00Charlotte is a suspect.
00:17:02Therefore, there is no visitor except for legal counsel.
00:17:05So if you don't remove yourself this instant,
00:17:07I will have you arrested.
00:17:09Lauren.
00:17:10On what grounds?
00:17:11Sheer of nauseousness.
00:17:12Oh.
00:17:13I didn't realize that was a crime in France.
00:17:16Did he?
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:19What did he just say?
00:17:20Charlotte?
00:17:22You should go now.
00:17:23It's time to go.
00:17:25You're speaking English.
00:17:26I don't understand.
00:17:27You gotta go.
00:17:28You gotta go.
00:17:29Charlotte didn't do this.
00:17:30Charlotte.
00:17:31What is happening?
00:17:32I swear I didn't do it.
00:17:33You gotta go.
00:17:34You gotta go.
00:17:35No, I don't have to help you.
00:17:36No, let me go.
00:17:37You have to help me, all right?
00:17:38I am getting you out.
00:17:48Lauren.
00:17:49What's happening?
00:17:50Listen.
00:17:51We just got a confirmation.
00:17:52Charlotte Sprint smashed those on the murder weapon.
00:17:55Nous allons la transférer en prison.
00:17:57Prison?
00:17:58Did you just say prison?
00:18:00It's not true.
00:18:02Andre, please.
00:18:03Andre, please.
00:18:04Just tell me what I have to do to get bail for my friend.
00:18:09Lauren, go back to America.
00:18:11I'm afraid he has nothing he can do here.
00:18:19Watch me.
00:18:20Watch me.
00:18:27Andine.
00:18:28What can you tell me about Tabby Lee?
00:18:30Oh, the fashion blogger.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Charlotte and I saw her threatening Gerard before the show.
00:18:36I doubt anyone would kill over a bad seat at a runway show.
00:18:39Right.
00:18:40Except Andrew Kanan murdered Gianni Versace after being rejected.
00:18:45And Patrizio Reggiani killed Maritza Gucci after he left her.
00:18:49So, perhaps a bad seat is more than it seems in this case.
00:18:54Lauren, I'm glad Virgil is keeping you on staff for a while longer.
00:18:58But perhaps you should leave the investigation part to the police.
00:19:09Let's see, Tabby Lee.
00:19:11What are you up to?
00:19:20Hi.
00:19:26Great shot.
00:19:28Oh, hi.
00:19:29Your hair looks amazing.
00:19:31Oh, thank you so much.
00:19:33I just have a couple questions about Gerard's murder.
00:19:37Everybody knew Gerard and I weren't, like, simpatico, you know?
00:19:41Really? Why?
00:19:43Gerard was a dinosaur.
00:19:46Do you mind me asking where you went after the two of you argued?
00:19:49I left.
00:19:50I scored a ticket to the Chanel after-party at the Grand Palais.
00:19:53So, I was like, goodbye, Levine.
00:19:56Wanna see?
00:19:57I would love to.
00:20:01Look at the time stamp.
00:20:039.55.
00:20:05The Levine show wasn't even done yet.
00:20:07Don't I look amazing?
00:20:08Wait. Wait a second.
00:20:12That's Naomi, the photographer.
00:20:16Thank you.
00:20:19Thank you.
00:20:24I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.
00:20:28Look, I'm just trying to help Charlotte.
00:20:31Uh, test the light.
00:20:35I met Charlotte at her previous post at Celine.
00:20:38She's the one who recommended me for the Levine shoot her first week on the job.
00:20:42That's Charlotte. Always helpful.
00:20:45I'll admit, I got angry at Gerard for being fired, but not enough to murder him for it.
00:20:49Okay. And after the runway show?
00:20:51I never went backstage.
00:20:53My girlfriend Naomi was switched at the last minute from being the last model to being the very first.
00:20:57She was angry.
00:20:58We were in the limo for the Chanel after-party about five seconds after she stepped off the runway.
00:21:04Look, when Naomi grabbed me to leave,
00:21:08Diana practically barged backstage.
00:21:10I must speak to Gerard.
00:21:11I must speak to Gerard.
00:21:12She was extremely angry and demanded to see Gerard.
00:21:15You don't know who I am.
00:21:19Excuse me.
00:21:32How are you holding up?
00:21:34Is that better?
00:21:36Well, if this were America, you'd be in an orange jumpsuit, so...
00:21:39Where's that?
00:21:41Orange is so not my color.
00:21:44Thanks for making me laugh.
00:21:46Of course.
00:21:49Charlotte, do you recall who else had access to the hairpins?
00:21:56Let's see.
00:21:59Of course the hair stylist, the models, the team, you, me.
00:22:06So basically everyone.
00:22:08I passed them out at the beginning of the show and collected them at the end.
00:22:13It was an easy job.
00:22:15Until...
00:22:24Someone ran down the backstage staircase.
00:22:26What?
00:22:27Someone ran down the backstage staircase just before I entered the mezzanine.
00:22:31I mean...
00:22:36There was someone there.
00:22:37I must have blocked it after the recent discovery of Gerard, but...
00:22:41That's totally understandable.
00:22:43Often times with a traumatic event, the brain will hide and repress memories.
00:22:46But did you get a good look at this person?
00:22:50I was so tired and the last model was finally in the wings
00:22:53and I was just returning the hairpins when I found Gerard.
00:23:01We're gonna get through this.
00:23:03I promise.
00:23:05Okay.
00:23:17Is Charlotte still your only suspect?
00:23:22I thought I told you to go home.
00:23:24Well, would I be more welcome in Paris if I had intel to share on a murder investigation?
00:23:29Okay, you have it too?
00:23:31I do, actually.
00:23:32Charlotte remembers seeing someone flee from backstage.
00:23:35Can she identify this person?
00:23:38Well, no, but it's still something, isn't it?
00:23:41Is that an idea? I'm afraid not.
00:23:44Come on, Lauren.
00:23:49May I?
00:23:53My father was an NYPD detective for 30 years.
00:23:56I learned a few things.
00:23:5730 years?
00:23:59So, Charlotte was on this catwalk when this person ran down the staircase.
00:24:04There's a door of the hallway that exits into an alley.
00:24:08Well, maybe that's where the murderer escaped.
00:24:11Maybe you're onto something.
00:24:12Hey, listen, you know we already looked into all the exits, right?
00:24:15Yeah, but did anyone specifically check the staircase?
00:24:17Well, we didn't have the secret info that you have.
00:24:20We've already ordered all the security footage from all the neighboring buildings in the area,
00:24:24but I have to admit the French can be a little bit...
00:24:27Slow?
00:24:28Unhurried.
00:24:29Don't worry, I hurried them up myself.
00:24:34Many of the establishment confirmed that the showtime at this would be 10 p.m.
00:24:39That's half an hour before the show ended.
00:24:42The models and crew were in the wings 15 before that.
00:24:45You know, I heard a witness accost a child during the show.
00:24:48Tabby Lee.
00:24:49She's a fashion influencer.
00:24:51Tabby Lee? Okay.
00:24:52She left midway through the show.
00:24:54I checked.
00:24:55She started posting Chanel after-party pics at 9.55 p.m.
00:24:599.55?
00:25:01Well, I guess we can remove her from the suspect list.
00:25:04Let me see.
00:25:06Same with Naomi and Patrick.
00:25:08Tabby Lee's feed shows them together at 10.03.
00:25:17Which leaves Charlotte.
00:25:21Maybe not.
00:25:22Maybe not.
00:25:24I ran all 11 employees and show guests.
00:25:26Everyone checked out.
00:25:28But one person was a person of interest in a previous murder case.
00:25:34Diana Finney.
00:25:36Editor-in-chief of Luxe Harper magazine.
00:25:40When Diana was 20, she was a suspect in a London murder.
00:25:44They caught the real killer and he died in jail, but...
00:25:47A police report indicated Diana lied to the detective.
00:25:51A lot of whereabouts the night of the murder.
00:25:53Which cast doubt on her character.
00:25:55And now, again, she's hiding something.
00:25:57Phone records indicate that she talked to Gérard during the show, but before he was murdered.
00:26:05We have to get to her.
00:26:07We?
00:26:10I'll see if someone at work can help.
00:26:14I'm gonna check the exits.
00:26:22This came for you.
00:26:24I guess you're officially seen as part of the team now.
00:26:26Oh, thank you.
00:26:52Hello, Anne.
00:26:53Hey, André.
00:26:54In the mood for good news, bad news?
00:26:56Oh, yes. I love that game.
00:26:58Well, the alleyway at the bottom of the staircase was pretty deserted.
00:27:01No business inside, no security camera to check, nothing.
00:27:05I'm sorry, there was good news?
00:27:07I found this beautiful little patisserie Saint-Georges. We have to try.
00:27:11Okay, well, I found us a way to question Diana and Emily.
00:27:14Guess who just got invited to Diana's Fashion Week cocktail reception?
00:27:18Oh, you're not gonna get past the bouncer at a fancy shindig wearing that.
00:27:22Not after that eclair explosion.
00:27:24It's nothing.
00:27:26Happens all the time.
00:27:27This is a mess, this is a mess.
00:27:40Hey.
00:27:41Hey.
00:27:42Hey.
00:27:43Hey.
00:27:44Hey.
00:27:45Hey.
00:27:46Hey.
00:27:47Hey.
00:27:56What do we have here?
00:27:59I think I'm gonna need your help.
00:28:17Bye.
00:28:47You look beautiful.
00:28:48You look pretty nice yourself.
00:29:18And remember, I'm asking the questions, okay? Not you.
00:29:21Do you have any idea what I do for a living?
00:29:24Of course. I clean dress up all day.
00:29:27Very funny.
00:29:29No, I'm a trained psychologist with clinical skills.
00:29:32I know how to get people to talk.
00:29:34I can be valuable to you, you know?
00:29:36Really?
00:29:37Mm-hmm.
00:29:38That'd be awesome.
00:29:39But?
00:29:40But?
00:29:41Lauren.
00:29:42Dre.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:57Is Avi always written by the book?
00:30:00It has to be.
00:30:05What?
00:30:09Why?
00:30:17Why?
00:30:22I mean, my father didn't copy any existing paintings, no.
00:30:26Instead, he created pieces.
00:30:28Famous painters would have done.
00:30:33Do you know how talented you gotta be to do this?
00:30:36I'm so sorry.
00:30:38It's okay.
00:30:39You served your time.
00:30:42I stained the name Dre with a reputation that I would very much like to overcome.
00:30:49So I... I go by the book.
00:30:52Great.
00:31:03Bonsoir, Madame Fille.
00:31:04Ah?
00:31:06Bonsoir.
00:31:07Thank you for, uh...
00:31:10Uh...
00:31:16What?
00:31:17Get on with it.
00:31:18Do you go to jail during the show?
00:31:20The day he was murdered?
00:31:21Of course not.
00:31:23It's funny, because your phone record indicates otherwise.
00:31:29Why lie, like you did all those years ago?
00:31:33I've worked hard to reinvent myself from those dark days.
00:31:37And when you heard about Gérard?
00:31:38I was worried the career I built could be jeopardized if I was tied to another murder investigation.
00:31:45Did you ever make it to the backstage mezzanine?
00:31:47No.
00:31:48I gave up after those silly guards stopped me.
00:31:53Don't they know who I am?
00:31:55Madame?
00:32:06Oh my God, I don't have any self-service here.
00:32:09It's giving me a rush.
00:32:15This girl got a day to get a drink around here, right?
00:32:26Oh my God.
00:32:30OMG, my selfie with Harry Styles just got a million likes.
00:32:34No way.
00:32:35Way.
00:32:36Oh, Detroit is so amazing, right?
00:32:39Diana, celebrities, murders.
00:32:42Right.
00:32:43You know I was there the night of the murder.
00:32:45No way.
00:32:46Serious?
00:32:49Tell me everything.
00:32:51Well, people keep asking if Diana had anything to do with it.
00:32:55But I know she didn't.
00:32:56I was with her all night.
00:32:58But I overheard a kung fu between Diana and that woman Ondine Navarone from Loving.
00:33:04Ondine wanted revenge on Gérard.
00:33:06Ew.
00:33:07Why?
00:33:08Ondine was angling to be the president of Loving.
00:33:10But she was passed over for Gérard.
00:33:13So, maybe Ondine's the murderer.
00:33:16But like, why would Ondine even say that to Diana?
00:33:19It's so weird.
00:33:20They are friends.
00:33:21If you can't believe a woman like Diana has friends.
00:33:35Ondine, huh?
00:33:37Jealousy can be a big, big motive.
00:33:40By the way, the undercover work at the bar earlier was amazing.
00:33:48Emily had no idea who I was.
00:33:51Yeah, seems like it's time to dig further into Ondine.
00:33:55Actually, I have a meeting with her tomorrow at the Atelier.
00:33:58Lauren, I meant to ask you, why are you doing all this?
00:34:04Charlotte was the only one there for me when my mom died.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:11Yeah, I am.
00:34:13My dad did his best, but he was so overwhelmed with his own grief that the only thing he could do was throw himself into work.
00:34:21It was Charlotte that scraped me off the floor and she did it every day.
00:34:28So, I owe her and I'll fight for her.
00:34:37Good for you, Lauren.
00:34:39So, I'll stop at my place and then meet you at Ondine's?
00:34:43Alright.
00:34:45I'm not talking to her until I get there, though.
00:34:48Merci, bonjour.
00:35:07Bonsoir.
00:35:19Bonsoir.
00:35:22Ondine?
00:35:38The bullet wounds to the head appear to be self-inflicted.
00:35:42Sustained with the powder burns on the temple.
00:35:45Take a genius, genius.
00:35:47There's something over here.
00:35:51A suicide note and a confession.
00:35:57Another affair gone wrong.
00:36:00So, Ondine murdered Gerard, who rejected her.
00:36:05Feeling guilty over her part in her lover's death, she kills herself.
00:36:11I mean, if there was nothing more than a crime of passion.
00:36:14Timestamp says 9.47 p.m.
00:36:16It's right after the cocktail reception.
00:36:19We just missed her.
00:36:21Get to digital forensic to see what else is on the hard drive.
00:36:25We need to get a timeline for their relationship, see how he tracks it.
00:36:28Sure, make a meal out of everything.
00:36:30This is so straightforward.
00:36:33Maybe you shouldn't poke around too much.
00:36:46All right.
00:36:48You holding up?
00:36:50How didn't I see it?
00:36:53How didn't I see any of the signs of distress?
00:36:56All right, we both work in professions, but we mean people.
00:36:58They're not always what they seem.
00:37:00Yeah, but we're both trained to see beyond that.
00:37:03Maybe she was right.
00:37:05There's no mystery here.
00:37:07Ondine was depressed for killing Gerard, so she killed herself in turn.
00:37:12If I were just sharper, I could have saved two people.
00:37:17Lauren, there's no way you could have known.
00:37:20Hey.
00:37:29It's okay.
00:37:48I can't believe Ondine's gone.
00:37:55It's not your lawyer.
00:37:56And?
00:37:58And based on what happened with Ondine, she thinks you can be released in a few days.
00:38:02Okay.
00:38:04How is everyone at Clavin taking it?
00:38:07They're devastated, naturally.
00:38:10Of course.
00:38:12First Gerard and now this.
00:38:15Charlotte, do you know that Ondine and Gerard were romantically involved?
00:38:19What?
00:38:21Ondine's suicide note mentioned an affair with Gerard.
00:38:24An affair with Gerard.
00:38:27No, Lauren, um...
00:38:30Gerard preferred men.
00:38:45Bonjour, Pierre.
00:38:49It's actually bonsoir.
00:38:52You see, it's evening.
00:38:54So, bonsoir.
00:38:56Right.
00:38:58That's another Lauren faux pas.
00:39:01Got that word right at least, huh?
00:39:07Um, I just wanted to check in with everyone outside of the office to see if anyone needed my help processing Ondine's death and Gerard's too, of course.
00:39:19I don't need your help.
00:39:21I'm fine.
00:39:25Gerard loved you, you know.
00:39:31I found this.
00:39:34Virgil asked me to clean out his office and it was addressed to you, so I thought you should have it.
00:39:46I was worried.
00:39:48Gerard was up to something.
00:39:51Why?
00:39:53I overheard phone calls between him and Ondine talking about missing and answering at La Ville.
00:40:03Did you ever ask Gerard about it?
00:40:06No, we kept our personal and work relationships separate.
00:40:11He was a very nice man, but he was able to disconnect from La Ville.
00:40:17Even if it was for fleeting moments.
00:40:27Thank you, Lauren.
00:40:30Bonsoir.
00:40:32Bonsoir.
00:40:47Mademoiselle.
00:40:50Merci.
00:40:51De rien.
00:40:54So, I had a long chat with Theo and he and Gerard were definitely involved.
00:41:00Ondine alluded to being rejected by Gerard.
00:41:04Right, because Gerard chose Theo instead.
00:41:07That is why she killed him.
00:41:10Seems like the case is closed.
00:41:13You'll be able to assist us.
00:41:15All you, Inspector Gamble.
00:41:18Okay.
00:41:20Du Bois.
00:41:22Du Bois.
00:41:24Merci beaucoup.
00:41:30Sorry.
00:41:31Yeah.
00:41:33Du Bois.
00:41:37It's time to go.
00:41:39Okay.
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:42Try it.
00:41:43Try it.
00:41:48The autopsy revealed that Ondine died of a blood-force trauma.
00:41:53A hit right behind her ear.
00:41:55Not a gunshot wound.
00:41:57Which means somebody staged her death as a suicide.
00:42:00And the Levinenberg in front of the scene is a counterfeit.
00:42:09Well, I guess Theo deserves a second look after all.
00:42:12No, Theo was in London the night Ondine was murdered.
00:42:14I just checked charges on the Levinen account.
00:42:19Charlotte's still gonna be released though, right?
00:42:23Andre?
00:42:26Lauren, since Ondine didn't kill herself,
00:42:28Charlotte remains the main suspect in Gerard's death.
00:42:31I'm sorry.
00:42:33But we just have to find something else.
00:42:35Okay, look.
00:42:36A counterfeit bag was found at the scene.
00:42:38That's gotta mean something.
00:42:39So, I could go back to Ondine's to see if we missed a clue.
00:42:43And maybe your family can help.
00:42:46Borgias must be a pretty small community, right?
00:42:52I'm sorry.
00:42:55All right.
00:42:56I became a policeman to escape my family.
00:43:00Not to use that for my job.
00:43:03I didn't mean it.
00:43:06You gotta go.
00:43:33Sorry, Dad.
00:43:36I gotta go.
00:44:06Okay.
00:44:22Okay, what am I looking for?
00:44:37Hey.
00:44:38Hi, honey.
00:44:39Hey, Dad.
00:44:40Oh.
00:44:41Is now a bad time?
00:44:42No, not at all.
00:44:44I got a new hobby.
00:44:45I'm jogging.
00:44:47And I'm in the park.
00:44:48See?
00:44:50Not the same without you, though.
00:44:52Hey, how's Paris?
00:44:53Oh, it's great.
00:44:55Busy, but...
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:58Yeah?
00:44:59Hey, where are you now?
00:45:00Everything okay?
00:45:02I'm just at a friend's house.
00:45:04So, listen.
00:45:05Remember that digital forensic case?
00:45:07The one with the fake heiress?
00:45:09Yeah, that one was a doozy.
00:45:11What did you look for in all those computer files and folders?
00:45:14Oh, I searched for keywords, like probe, inquiry, and such.
00:45:20Maybe you should call me back later.
00:45:23My watch here tells me that my speed per mile average is dropping dangerously low.
00:45:27Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:45:28Thanks, Dad.
00:45:29Love you.
00:45:30Talk to you later, Mom.
00:45:35How do you say investigation in French?
00:45:38In French, investigation is enquête.
00:47:04A weird dog.
00:47:23Let's hope it's a toy poodle.
00:47:34Let's hope it's a toy poodle.
00:48:04It's a pig.
00:48:13It's a pig.
00:48:25I can't take how crappy he is.
00:48:27Since he accidentally dropped, he's like a charm.
00:48:31Yeah, but I'll take that big bonus he's offering if I can't find it for him.
00:48:46There's someone out there.
00:49:00Let's go.
00:49:16The boss needs us.
00:49:17Okay, let's go.
00:49:30Lauren?
00:49:31Listen, Andre.
00:49:33I'm really sorry about my comment before.
00:49:35I really didn't mean it.
00:49:37Say it.
00:49:38I know, but listen.
00:49:39I found an entire warehouse full of counterfeit living bags.
00:49:44I'll be there in 15.
00:49:45Tell me where you are.
00:49:46After I found an address on a thumb drive at Andine's apartment, I decided...
00:49:48No, no, I didn't hear you say that.
00:49:50Wait.
00:49:51Right.
00:49:52I had a hunch...
00:49:53A hunch?
00:49:54Yes, a hunch that there's something to discover at this warehouse.
00:49:57And once I was inside...
00:49:58Lauren, no, no.
00:49:59I know it's not proper police protocol, but once I was inside, I discovered this.
00:50:06A warehouse full of counterfeit living bags.
00:50:11There's been an uptick in counterfeiting right across France.
00:50:15This is huge.
00:50:16I just wish I got a photo of the two guys at the warehouse.
00:50:20And what?
00:50:23Have you ever been this cold?
00:50:24I don't know.
00:50:27But what I do know is that whoever's behind these counterfeits
00:50:30is the same person that murdered Andine and George.
00:50:34I'm sure of it.
00:50:36If this goes wrong, I'm going to get transferred to Timbuktu.
00:50:40If this goes wrong, I'm going to get transferred to Timbuktu.
00:51:11Consul General, Commodore reconnaissance.
00:51:28They were right here. You saw the photos.
00:51:30I'm going to need a lot more evidence to make a case.
00:51:32Sure.
00:51:34Take two more guys and inspect the perimeter.
00:51:36Sure.
00:51:37Inspector Duvray.
00:51:38Lieutenant Fontaine.
00:51:39I will be expecting a report at my desk explaining all this,
00:51:42before your shift ends.
00:51:51Well, I hear the weather's pretty nice in Timbuktu this time of year.
00:51:56I'm sorry, Andre, they must have been moved.
00:51:58Well, if they didn't move them in Timbuktu,
00:52:00bonne chance finding them.
00:52:04Did anything suspicious show up on Andine's security camera at her building?
00:52:08No, even though there was an entry in the rear.
00:52:10Yeah, let me guess, it was out of service?
00:52:12The camera was not even installed.
00:52:14Of course.
00:52:15No leads.
00:52:16Not even a real motive, I mean, besides they can't have hidden handbags.
00:52:20Okay, so what now?
00:52:22Je pense qu'on a nos instants issus.
00:52:25We're in a dead end.
00:52:27I knew that.
00:52:30Okay, so, um, there's only one solution then.
00:52:34Food.
00:52:35Oh, well, the French cuisine is the finest in the world.
00:52:38What with nouvelle cuisine, maybe haute cuisine?
00:52:41No, I was thinking more like people's cuisine.
00:52:50What is that?
00:52:52I can't believe you're passing up a hot dog.
00:52:55I know it's considered the mission of star cuisine in America,
00:52:58but how may I ask, how is your hot dog a solution?
00:53:03It just helps me think.
00:53:05Something I used to do with my dad.
00:53:07In fact, I still do.
00:53:08But back then, whenever he was working on a case,
00:53:11and he couldn't solve it,
00:53:13we would go to our favorite hot dog stand,
00:53:15find a bench in Central Park loaded up with mustard,
00:53:18and work on scenarios.
00:53:19And we would always end up with a clue on it,
00:53:21like a person or a place or a thing.
00:53:23A person, a place, that's it.
00:53:25We've been focusing too much on the people.
00:53:27We should have been focusing on the place.
00:53:29What do you mean? The warehouse was a bust.
00:53:31Maybe not.
00:53:32But I have access to the financial crime database.
00:53:35Check it out, 187 Redouval.
00:53:38This will show us if we have anything on the property.
00:53:43Look at that, the warehouse is currently eased by the LLC.
00:53:46Okay.
00:53:49And this will show us who the owner is.
00:54:02Thank you for coming.
00:54:03Why am I here?
00:54:06I mean, I've done nothing wrong.
00:54:08Except maybe for that bell-bottom face.
00:54:11I mean, that was simply dreadful.
00:54:14Well, I can assure you,
00:54:16this has nothing to do with the crime of fashion.
00:54:19Just for the record, you are Ricardo Dolce, correct?
00:54:23That is correct.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:25Could you describe for me your relationship with Virgil Simjic?
00:54:28We've known each other since our days at the fashion institute.
00:54:32Oh, you were friends?
00:54:35Oh, darling.
00:54:36Designers have a problem with the concept of coexisting.
00:54:39I mean, look at Chanel and Schiaparelli.
00:54:42Talk about rivalry.
00:54:43Well, it's fair to say that you and Virgil had a long-standing feud, then.
00:54:47Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:48A feud would mean that we are equals.
00:54:50No, no.
00:54:51That's absurd.
00:54:54Well, according to my figures,
00:54:56Virgil's sales for the Lavigne company
00:54:59currently outnumber yours by two to one.
00:55:01Is that correct, Mr. Dolce?
00:55:05Where is he going with this?
00:55:08Well, it would make complete sense
00:55:10that you would want to undermine your main competitor
00:55:12by counterfeiting their most desirable goods,
00:55:14like their handbags.
00:55:16Maybe you wouldn't care for it.
00:55:19Is that why you brought me here?
00:55:22To accuse me of this outrageous nonsense?
00:55:25I deny it.
00:55:26I deny everything.
00:55:29Well, you just admitted to a feud with Virgil.
00:55:32You just admitted that Virgil and House of Lavigne
00:55:35have obscured your brand,
00:55:36leaving you unbittered and vengeful.
00:55:38Your company, at least the warehouse in the Rue du Val,
00:55:41that is a waste station for counterfeit goods.
00:55:44And you cannot deny this.
00:55:46Because your signature
00:55:49is on the lease.
00:55:51Is on the lease.
00:55:59Yes, I can.
00:56:01This is not my signature.
00:56:04It has been forged.
00:56:07ARI, CAN WE TALK?
00:56:09I'm John, an emergency call
00:56:11for the Roland Schultz,
00:56:13board of directors.
00:56:15I'm sensing some tension over the call.
00:56:17Anything I can help mitigate?
00:56:19It's not good.
00:56:21Two murders and another employee's alleged involvement.
00:56:24I'm sorry.
00:56:25I'm sorry.
00:56:26I'm sorry.
00:56:27I'm sorry.
00:56:28I'm sorry.
00:56:29I'm sorry.
00:56:30I'm sorry.
00:56:31I'm sorry.
00:56:32I'm sorry.
00:56:33I'm sorry.
00:56:34I'm sorry.
00:56:35Alleged involvement.
00:56:36Aren't you inspiring for investors?
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39I certainly understand why the board is uneasy.
00:56:41You don't want them to fall out of the house in Villevigne
00:56:43just like what happened in Gucci and Versace
00:56:45after the scandal du meurtre.
00:56:47Murder scandals?
00:56:49Let's see if French has improved it.
00:56:51It's kind of an easy one.
00:56:53The board might want to explore change.
00:56:56Starting at the very top.
00:56:58Hence your interest in other designers like
00:57:00Ricardo Dolce.
00:57:01Ricardo?
00:57:02Why do you say that?
00:57:04About 11 months.
00:57:06Excuse me.
00:57:14None of the new trends inspire me.
00:57:18Just breathe.
00:57:19Sweet Elvis for a woman.
00:57:21Impossible.
00:57:22Okay, I want you to breathe.
00:57:23I must create four collections a year.
00:57:27Four.
00:57:28Two for ready-to-wear and two for haute couture.
00:57:30Where is my inspiration, my belle Lorraine?
00:57:33I am going to do.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:35This is exactly why we're here.
00:57:38Sometimes the best way to get over a creative block
00:57:40is to get away from the creative block.
00:57:42So I want you to take in the same.
00:57:46Take it in.
00:57:47Breathe it in.
00:57:48Focus.
00:57:50Absorb it.
00:57:52Let it ground you.
00:57:55Good.
00:57:57Good.
00:57:59Excellent.
00:58:02You're a blessing, ma chérie.
00:58:04It's all part of my job.
00:58:06Hello, Mr. Clayton.
00:58:08I appreciate the way you're helping our petite sweet Charlotte.
00:58:18Le jaune!
00:58:19What?
00:58:20Le jaune!
00:58:21Are you okay?
00:58:22Le jaune!
00:58:23The yellow!
00:58:24The yellow!
00:58:25Le jaune!
00:58:26Le jaune!
00:58:29Le jaune!
00:58:30Le jaune!
00:58:31Le jaune!
00:58:36This is beautiful.
00:58:38C'est grâce à toi.
00:58:39Oh, I love it.
00:58:43Andre.
00:58:45What's up?
00:58:50It's the judge.
00:58:51We'll decide on Charlotte's case tomorrow.
00:58:54You want to get more evidence?
00:58:56Yes, Charlotte will be guilty as charged.
00:59:00I thought I knew something.
00:59:01I know.
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:03Let's think about this for a bit.
00:59:06How many bags you saw at the warehouse?
00:59:09I don't know.
00:59:10A thousand?
00:59:11Eighty-five hundred a bag?
00:59:12That's...
00:59:14It's a big one, certainly.
00:59:17It's a big one.
00:59:21That guy at the warehouse.
00:59:23He was looking for something.
00:59:24It was something that belonged to his boss.
00:59:26Look, I...
00:59:27Okay.
00:59:29The boxes might be gone,
00:59:30but there might be a clue
00:59:31into who or what is framing my friend.
00:59:33Listen, we all have authorization
00:59:35to go back to the warehouse.
00:59:36It's actually...
00:59:37I have to go back to the precinct
00:59:38to fill out the report with Captain Fontaine.
00:59:41But the warehouse is off-limits.
00:59:43I know.
00:59:44Yep.
00:59:45True or false?
00:59:46A hundred percent.
00:59:49Okay.
00:59:58Okay.
01:00:29Ah!
01:00:43Beware of dog.
01:00:44You're right.
01:00:45More like, beware of rat.
01:00:58Okay.
01:01:28Ah!
01:01:40There you are,
01:01:41my wicked little killer fits.
01:01:58Ah!
01:02:29Merci beaucoup.
01:02:34Your job was to help calm my nerves,
01:02:37not wreck them by ruining my plan,
01:02:39ma chérie.
01:02:43Maintenant, tu l'auras.
01:02:51Nice bed, David.
01:02:53Can't say the same about your counterfeits.
01:02:57Certainly not haute couture,
01:03:00but they are, oh, profitable.
01:03:04Stop!
01:03:08So all of this
01:03:11because Ari chose Ricardo
01:03:13to replace you as creative director?
01:03:15I took the House of Laving
01:03:18from a middling fashion house
01:03:21to a trendsetter it is today,
01:03:23and then because of some,
01:03:26how do you say, bean counter,
01:03:28I am finished!
01:03:30No!
01:03:31Stop!
01:03:33I decided
01:03:35that if I was going to be Sean the Door,
01:03:39I might as well make a fortune
01:03:42on my way out.
01:03:44But your beef was with Ari,
01:03:46so why would you kill Ondine and Gerard?
01:03:49Gerard.
01:03:54He learned of my counterfeits,
01:03:57threatening to take his information to record!
01:04:01I was rather fond of Gerard,
01:04:05up until the moment I killed him.
01:04:08And Charlotte?
01:04:10Charlotte, sweet Charlotte.
01:04:12Her presence worked out to my,
01:04:15how do you say, convenience.
01:04:17After all, someone had to take the blame.
01:04:21And Ondine, that was just another convenience?
01:04:25Ondine's fault was
01:04:28that she was a bit nosy about the warehouse
01:04:32for her own good.
01:04:41How are you, my chérie?
01:04:44So, I am afraid you are going to join her
01:04:49How do you say, Six Feet Under?
01:04:53Well,
01:04:56guess I won't be at Fashion Week again, right?
01:05:00But that's okay, you're pretty calm now.
01:05:04Ah, yeah.
01:05:06Yeah, it's true.
01:05:09I feel better.
01:05:19No!
01:05:22No!
01:05:25No!
01:05:48No!
01:06:19No!
01:06:44You all right?
01:06:46You saved my life.
01:07:07Glad you threw away the book this time.
01:07:10So am I.
01:07:14Inspector Duvreuil?
01:07:19Captain Fontaine?
01:07:21Impressive.
01:07:24Merci, Captain.
01:07:30It appears that my trip to Thing Book 2 got cancelled.
01:07:44Lauren?
01:08:06We are so celebrating.
01:08:09Oh, Christine, dancing.
01:08:12Champagne?
01:08:14Lots of champagne.
01:08:24Charlotte, we are so happy that you're vindicated.
01:08:28Lauren was there when I needed her,
01:08:31and she just never gave up on me.
01:08:34And Virgile may be behind bars,
01:08:37but let's go on.
01:08:39You are needed now more than ever, Lauren.
01:08:41Well, it's nice to be needed, Ari,
01:08:44but I feel like it's time for me to go home.
01:08:46Oh, you go to New York to make a living.
01:08:49You come to Paris and be alive.
01:08:52Stay here.
01:08:54As Levine's fashion psychologist.
01:08:56Full-time.
01:08:58Full-time?
01:09:01Lauren, come on.
01:09:03Help us shake off the stink of Virgile's scandal.
01:09:06Transition with a new designer?
01:09:08Yeah, well, I can't imagine Riccardo Dolce
01:09:10is too keen on stepping into Virgile's outmoded shoes.
01:09:13That's why our new designer is Donatella Ford.
01:09:17Are you serious?
01:09:20Seriously?
01:09:22Yes.
01:09:24That's impressive.
01:09:26So you'll consider?
01:09:28I don't know.
01:09:30Moving to Paris would be a huge step for me.
01:09:34You know what my biggest regret is?
01:09:38What I didn't do.
01:09:45Can you at least consider it?
01:09:48Please.
01:09:56Mademoiselle.
01:09:58Hot dog.
01:10:00Merci.
01:10:03Levine just offered me a full-time job.
01:10:07Congrats.
01:10:09Thanks.
01:10:10Lauren, what are you going to do?
01:10:12Well...
01:10:14It's actually a pretty easy decision to make.
01:10:20Well?
01:10:22I'm staying.
01:10:25No way.
01:10:28Wait.
01:10:30Is this Dijon on my hot dog?
01:10:33Of course. Hot dog Dijon.
01:10:35C'est le French National Mustard.
01:10:37No, no, no, no. It was the Romans that introduced it.
01:10:40No, Dijon. France.
01:10:42Hot dog Dijon.
01:10:44I like it.
01:11:27Thank you.
01:11:57Thank you.
01:12:27Thank you.
01:12:57Thank you.
01:13:27Thank you.
01:13:29Thank you.
01:13:57Thank you.
01:13:59Thank you.
