Of others.

I am a cognitive psychologist

to the context of fashion.

Right.

Yeah.

I still don't know what you do.

In my day, I showed up to
the precinct

40-hour workweek.

No, not after you

Amazing.

How about we meet for
dinner tonight?

I would love it.

But I have an emergency
and I could really use your help

like maintenant, tout de suite.

I've got a bit of a
situation here.

Ee!

Oh, I came as fast as I could.

I didn't know who else to call.

Oh, Charlotte, your friend

Je sais.

Even if that beige suit

Is this basic?

Well, oh, how ever did
you do that, ma chérie?

It's a method called 333.

Trois, trois, trois.

Hm?

It's something that I use

for all my fashion clients

who are experiencing extreme stress
on their collection deadlines.

You did great.

Très bien, on la ramène à Paris.

Wait. What?

Wait.

What?

You're coming to Paris.

I can't go to Paris.

Mr. Saint James.

I need someone with your skill

Okay, this is very flattering.

Through the rigors of
I love that you guys think this.

It's just...

So is this...

Oh, come on, Lauren.

You haven't left the city
in years.

And you've always been
too busy to come visit me.

Okay, but Paris is...

Paris est magique.

Is it though?

You need to get out
of your comfort zone

and create new adventures.

Oui.

Voilà.

C'est décidé.

Paris, nous voilà!

C'eé.

Are you serious?

Ladies and gentlemen, Théo,
that means you, gather round.

Laurent has arrived.

Gerard, get off your phone,
s'il tu plait.

Let me call you back.

Gerard, get off your phone,
s'iHe's here...

May I present fashion
psychologist

Lauren Elliott,

who will be joining
us temporarily

as a Lavigne team member.

Nice to meet you.

So Lauren and I met at NYU.

And she was studying
psychology and art history.

And that gives her several
areas of expertise.

And one is data analysis.

AnAnd that allows her toal
forecast fashion trends.

Oh, thank you.

The other is tending to your
psychological well-being.

I know how stressful Fashion
Week can be.

So I'm here to help in any
way I can.

This conversation is over.

Everything OK?

This colt's Gerard. s over.

Just Gerard.

Do you know what I will do
to you if you threaten me?

Et voilà.

Virgil, you have given
us a dream.

This is not merely glamorous.

Oh.

But it is going to make us
a ton of money.

Bravo, Virgil.

Together, we are magic.

Ari, meet our newest addition.

You must be Lauren.

Hi.

Ari is the Chairman and the CEO

of Royal and Schulz, the
company that now owns Lavigne.

It's so nice to meet you.

Likewise.

It'You like the place? ou.

I love it.

And have you seen our
stone-faced handbags?

This is where they're assembled
and then sold for...

8,500 to 300,000.

They actually fetch a pretty
penny on the black market, too.

8,500 tOui.0,000.

Counterfeiting is a huge problem
for us

with millions of euro siphoned
off each year.

Can you say which one is a fake?

No, they look pretty
identical to me.

No, no, first of all, the stone

No, they look pretty
is unpicked by me.

Oh.

Knockoffs cannot match its
specific texture.

Also, notice the cheap factory
lining, the messy stitch work,

and the cheap hardware.

Hm?

An authentic Lavigne handbag
is produced by hand

with the finest materials,
even around the stone,

and takes hours, hundreds of
hours, to complete.

Saperlipopette!

So how on earth would you
safeguard against fakes?

Well, we have security
measures in place,

like serial numbers
and a strict inventory control

over all handbag materials
from the thread to the hardware.

It's all very specific.

Sadly, we've had some
production delays

from the imported
Italian leather.

And you're just telling me now?

Is it going to be ready for
the show?

And you'I'm afraid not. me now?

Royal & Shultz made a huge
investment in Lavigne.

And that handbag is central
to our expansion plans.

So it better be unveiled at
the show.

Find a way, Gerard, or your head
to our will roll.plans.

So it better be unveiled at
Charlotte.

Théo, where have you been?

We're falling behind.

Where is the list of
the models for the show?

We needed it yesterday.

I know it's here somewhere.

Here it is.

Théo, I'd actually love to
help you find a system

so you can stay organized.

Bienvenue dans le monde de
la mode, ma chérie.

No, no.
Mais qu'est-ce que tu fais?

This is supposed to be an ad
about Lavigne clothes.

These are so dark and moody, I can't tell
what anyone Mais qu'is wearing. tu fais?

It's art.

It's a disaster.

II agree.

IThis won't do...

Patrick, you are fired.

Pardon.

Je vais me venger. C'est claire.

What did he just say?

He said he'll get even.

Oof, tough day, huh?

Oh, that's nothing.

Sometimes it's just
absolute chaos.

You've come so far
since freshman year.

I mean, look at this.

Oh, yeah,.

Your blue ombré hair phase.

No, I really don't want to talk
about it.

Well, now you're killing it
in the fashion world.

C'est la vie, Char.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, now we are roommates
once again.

Love it.

Yeah.

Look at that perfect beauty.

That would look good on you.

I don't know.

I've only ever seen you
wearing beige and black.

Come on.

Well, that's because
beige and black are classic.

Lauren, beige and black
are safe.

You work at Lavigne now.

It's a fashion house, not
a prison.

We're going to change it up.

No.

Let's go, yeah.

On vous a aidé ce matin.

Oui?

The dress is very nice on you.

Merci.

Bonjour.

Listen, we have a scheduled
meeting this morning.

If you could just take a
look at these,

we can go over some
measurable goals.

Tout le monde, descend!

Wait.

What's going on?

Diana Feeney is expected
in less than an hour.

Diana Feeney from Luxe Arbour?

Yes.

Virgil is preparing his
Diana Feecollectionuxe Arbour?

Because Diana's opinion
is the only one that matters.

Is the only one that matters.

Because Diana's opinion
is the only oYes. hat matters.

Bonjour, Diana.

I presume this is your sister.

Don't be silly, Virgil.

Let's get on with it, shall we?

I offer you the Clashing
Harmony.

For this collection,
I was inspired

by the flowing shapes of a city,
the evolving architecture

that will leave him, and the
many colors

that sprout in our
human landscape.

The Clashing Harmony.

How thrilling.

If you just came upstairs,
I can show you

how we plan to expand on this
idea, at the show tonight.

I think I've already seen
enough, Virgil.

Just a warning, Diana.

There are going to be some
changes on how Lavigne operates

with Luxe Arbour.

Such as?

Do keep me waiting.

If you want advertising,

you're going to have to give us
editorial coverage.

Are you telling me
how to run my magazine?

It's your good fortune

that you are too ridiculous
to be taken seriously.

Otherwise, someone might take it
in their head

to teach you a lesson.

Come along, Emily.

Well done, Gerard.

You have just made an enemy

out of the most influential
forces in fashion.

Hours before the runway show.

Hi.

Let's go see him.

Virgil.

Oh.

How do you feel?

Nervous.

I want you to breathe in...
Breathe out.

NGreat...

Now follow my finger.

NReady?

Very good.

Don't make me do the 333.

Virgin, darling.

Forgive me.

My dear, it's been such a
long time

since we've seen each other.

That arrangement suits me
perfectly.

Si Don't be silly.r.

We're all friends, Virgil.

We should join creative forces.

Have you ever considered design
collaboration between us?

Creditors are nipping
at your heels, Ricardo?

Don't expect my brain
brain to bail you out.

Enjoy my show.

It's sublime.

Ta ta.

You will learn something,
Ricardo.

Ta ta ta ta ta ta.

Virgil and Ricardo have had
a feud

since fashion school,
as legendary

as the one between
Lagerfeld and Saint Laurent.

SOh, this will be an,
interesting night.

Help me.

Ne reste pas le soin à faire, okay?

Come on.

Let's go.

Go, go, go.

Ne reste pas le soin à faire, okay?

Okay, what?

All right.

Guess that means open the box.

Thank you.

What are you worrying your pretty
little head about now, Naomi?

That.

Why is she so upset?

Tu es ma princesse.

That's Virgil's signature
pendant.

He pins it on his favorite model

who wears the big reveal dress
on the runway finale.

Magnifique.

Who wears the big reveal dress
on the J'adore.inale.

It's a big deal in the
modeling world.

And now Naomi is mad at Gerard

for not helping maintain her
status as Lavigne's primadonna.

Oh.

Oof, if looks could kill.

Gerard would be a fashion
victim?

How could you do this, Gerard?

You put me behind a column?

You're just a blogger, Debbie.

This is very exclusive.

You're lucky to be here at all.

Excuse me, André.

There's no way that Virgil

Maybe you know who did it.

No security footage of the

Oh, no, that's my friend.

He's my friend.

Ugh.

It's good.

It's fine.

Inspector Duvreuil.

No, no.

Duvreuil.

Yep.

C'est bon.

Ms. Elliott.

Hi.

No, please call me Lauren.

I demand to see Charlotte.

Charlotte is a suspect.

Therefore, there is no visitor,
except for legal counsel...

So if you don't remove yourself
this instant,

I will have you arrested,
Lauren.

On what grounds?

I will have you arrested,

You have to help me, Lauren!

I am getting you out!

Lauren.

Charlotte's prints matched
those on the murder weapon.

Prison?

Did you just say prison?

Inspector De...

André, please.

André, please, just tell me

what I have to do
to get bail for my friend.

Lauren, go back to America.

I'm afraid there's nothing
you can do here.

Watch me.

Ondine?

What can you tell me about
Tabi Lee?

Oh, the fashion blogger?

Yeah, Charlotte and I saw her
threatening Gerard

before the show.

I doubt anyone would kill over
a bad seat at a runway show.

BeforRight.show.

Except Andrew Cunanan
murdered Gianni Versace

after being rejected and
Patrizia Reggiani

killed Maurizio Gucci after
he left her.

So perhaps a bad seat is more
than it seems in this case.

Lauren, I'm glad Virgil is
keeping you

on staff a while longer.

But perhaps you should leave the
investigation part to the police.

Let's see, Tabi Lee.

What are you up to?

Great shot.

Oh, hi.

Your hair looks amazing.

Oh, thank you so much.

I just have a couple
of questions

about Gerard's murder.

Everybody knew Gerard and I weren't like...

Everybody knew Gerard and I weren't like...

at the Grand Palais.

Do you mind me asking where you I scSo
I was like, bye, bye, nel AfLavigne. y

Want to see?

I would love to.

Look at the timestamp.

9:55.

The Lavigne show wasn't even
done yet.

Don't I look amazing?

Wait.

Wait a second.

That's Naomi with the
photographer.

Okay. Great.

Let's add some bling.

Hi, Patrick.

You're American.

Well, I was hoping I could
ask you a few questions.

Look, I'm just trying to
help Charlotte.

Test the lights.

I met Charlotte
at her previous post at Celine.

She's the one who recommended me
for the Lavigne shoot

her first week on the job.

That's Charlotte.

Always helpful.

I'll admit, I got angry
at Gerard for being fired,

but not enough to murder
him for it.

Okay. And after the runway show?

I never went backstage.

My girlfriend Naomi
was switched at the last minute

from being the last model
to being the very first.

She was angry.

We were in the limo for the
Chanel After Party

about five seconds after

she stepped off the runway.

Look, when Naomi grabbed me
to leave...

Let's get out of here.

Diana practically barged
backstage.

I must speak to Gerard.

She was extremely angry
and demanded to see Gerard.

I have to... you don't know
who I am!

She was extremely angry
andl have to see Gerard! rd.

Excuse me.

How are you holding up?

I've been better.

Well, if this were America,
you'd be in an orange jumpsuit.

So there's that.

Orange is so not my color.

Thanks for making me laugh.

Of course.

Charlotte, do you recall
who else

had access to the hairpins?

Let's see.

Of course, the hairstylist,
the models, the team, you, me.

So basically everyone.

I passed them out
at the beginning of the show

and collected them at the end.

It was an easy job... Until...

Someone ran down the backstage
staircase.

What?

Someone ran down the backstage
staircase

just before I entered
the mezzanine.

There was someone there.

I must have blocked it out after
the gruesome discovery of Gerard.

But...

That's totally understandable.

Oftentimes, with a traumatic
event,

the brain will hide and
repress memories.

But did you get a good lookc
at this person?

I was so tired.

And the last model
was finally in the wings.

And I was just returning the
hairpin when I found Gerard.

Charlotte.

We're going to get through this.

I promise.

Okay.

Is Charlotte still your
only suspect?

I thought I told you to go home.

Well, would I be more welcome
in Paris

if I had intel to share
I ton a murder investigation? me.

Well, would I be more welcome
Okay. You have a tip?

I do, actually.

Charlotte remembers seeing
someone flee from backstage.

Can she identify this person?

Well, no, but it's still
something, isn't it?

Without an ID, I'm afraid not.

Come on, Lauren.

May I?

My father was an NYPD detective
for 30 years.

I learned a few things.

Oh, yes.

So Charlotte was on this catwalk
when this person ran down

this staircase.

There's a door of the hallway
that exits into an alley.

Maybe that's where the
murderer escaped.

There's a door of the hallway
Maybe you're onto something.

Hey, listen, you know we already
looked into all the exits?

Yeah, but did anyone
specifically

check the staircase?

Well, we didn't have
the secret info that you have.

We've already ordered
all the security footage

from all neighboring buildings
in the area.

But I have to admit
the French can be a little bit...

Slow?

Unhurried.

Don't worry.

I'll hurry them up myself.

Oh, medical
Iestablishment confirmedf.

That Gerard's time of death
will be 10:00 PM.

That's half an hour
Iebefore the show ended.f.

The models and crew were in
the wings 15 before that.

Yeah, I heard a witness
accosted Gerard during the show.

Tabi Lee.

She's a fashion influencer.

Tabi Lee. Okay.

She left midway through
the show.

I checked.

She started posting Chanel
After Party pics at 9:55 PM.

9:55.

Good.

Well, I guess we can remove her
from the suspect list.

Let me see.

Well, I guess we can remove her
Same with Naomi and Patrick.

Tabi Lee's feed
shows them together at 10:03.

Which leaves Charlotte.

Maybe not.

I ran all Lavigne employee and
show guests.

Everyone checked out.

The one person was a person of
interest in a previous murder case.

Diana Feeney, Editor in Chief
of Luxe Arbour Magazine.

When Diana was 20, she was a
suspect in a London murder.

They caught the real killer
and he died in jail.

But the police report
indicates that Diana

lied to the detective
about her whereabouts

the night of the murder.

Which casts doubt on
her character.

And now, again, she's
hiding something.

And phone records indicate
that she

talked to Gerard during
the show,

right before he was murdered.

We have to get to her.

We?

I'll see if someone at work
can help.

I'm going to check the exits.

This came for you.

I guess you're officially seen
as part of the team now.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, André.

You in the mood for good news,
bad news?

Oh, yes, I love that game.

Oh, anyway, the bottom of the
staircase was pretty deserted.

Oh, No business inside.ame.

No security camera to check.

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

There's good news?

I found this beautiful little
patisserie, Saint George.

We have to try it.

Well, I found us a way
to question Diana and Emily.

Guess who just got invited to Diana's
Fashion Week cocktail reception?

Ugh.

ces flics.

What?

I got to be better than the
other cops.

Why?

Because my father and my older
brother were art forgers.

Oh.

Wow.

Yeah, my father didn't copy
any existing paintings, no.

Instead he created pieces
famous painters would have done.

Do you know how talented
you've got to be to do this?

I'm so sorry.

Do you know how talented
you've gotlt's OK.o do this?

They served their time.

But they stained the name
Duvreuil with a reputation

that I would very much like
to overcome.

So I... I go by the book.

Right.

Bonsoir Madame Feeney.

Ah?

Bonsoir.

Thank you for...

Well, get on with it.

Did you call Gerard during the
show the day he was murdered?

Of course not.

It's funny because your phone
record indicates otherwise.

So why lie like you did
all those years ago?

I've worked hard to reinvent
myself from those dark days.

And when you heard about Gerard?

I was worried the career I built

could be jeopardized if I was tied
to another murder investigation.

Did you ever make it
to the backstage mezzanine?

No, I gave up after those
silly guards stopped me.

Don't they know who I am?

Oh my god, I don't have
any self-service here.

It's giving me a rush.

What's a girl got to do to get
a drink around here, right?

OMG.

My selfie with Harry Styles
just got a million likes.

No way.

My selfie with Harry Styles
just got a Way. ion likes.

Haut Couture Week is so amazing, right?

Diana, celebrities, murders.

Right.

You know I was there
the night of the murder.

No way.

Serious?

Tell me everything.

Well, people keep asking
if Diana

had anything to do with it.

But I know she didn't.

I was with her all night.

But I overheard a convo
between Diana

and that woman Ondine Avedon
from Lavigne.

Ondine wanted revenge on Gerald.

Eww.

Why?

Ondine was angling to be
the president of Lavigne.

But she was passed over
for Gerald.

So maybe Ondine's the murderer.

BBut why would Ondineer
even say that to Diana?

That's so weird.

They are friends, if you
even scan believeDiana?

A woman like Diana has friends.

They are friends, if you
even sceDiana?

Ondine, huh?

Jealousy can be a big,
big motive.

By the way, the undercover work
at the bar earlier was amazing.

Emily had no idea bwho I was.

Yeah, it seems like it's time
to dig further into Ondine.

Actually, I have a meeting with
her tomorrow at the atelier.

YLauren, I meant to ask you, e
why are you doing all this?

Charlotte was the only one
there for me when my mom died.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, my 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.

It was Charlotte that
scraped me off the floor.

And she did it every day.

So I owe her.

And I'll fight for her.

Good for you, Lauren.

So I'll stop at my place
and then meet you at Ondine's?

All right, no talking to her
until I get there though.

Tu comprends?

All right, no talking to her
untilMerci. Bonjour.ough.

Bonsoir?

Bullet wounds to the head
appear to be self-inflicted,

consistent with
the powder burns on the temple.

It doesn't take a genius, genius.

Got something over here.

A suicide note and a confession.

A love affair gone wrong.

So Ondine murdered Gerard
who rejected her.

Feeling guilty over a part in a
lover's death, she kills herself.

I guess it was nothing more
than a crime of passion.

Timestamp says 9:47 PM.

It's right after the cocktail
reception.

We just missed her.

Get a digital forensic to see
what else is on the hard drive.

We need to get a timeline
for their relationship,

see how it tracks.

Sure.

Make a meal out of everything.

Thank you.

It seems so straightforward...

Maybe you shouldn't poke around
too much...

Lauren, you're holding up?

How didn't I see it?

How didn't I see any
of the signs of distress?

Lauren, we both work in
professions

where we meet people that are
not always what they seem.

Yeah, but we're both trained
to see beyond that.

Maybe she was right.

There's no mystery here.

Ondine was depressed for
killing Gerard.

So she killed herself in turn.

If I were just sharper,
I could have saved two people.

Lauren, there's no way
you could have known.

Hey.

Oh.

Hey.

It's OK.

I can't believe Ondine is gone.

I spoke to your lawyer.

And?

And based on what happened
with Ondine,

she thinks you can be
released in a few days.

And how is everyone at Lavigne
taking it?

They're devastated, naturally.

Of course.

First Gerard and now this.

Charlotte, did you know
that Ondine and Gerard

were romantically involved?

What?

Ondine's suicide note mentioned
an affair with Gerard.

No, Lauren.

Gerard preferred men.

Bonjour, Théo.

It's actually bonsoir.

You see, it's evening.

So bonsoir.

Right.

That's another Lauren faux pas.

Got that word right at least, huh?

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.

I don't need your help.

I'm fine.

Gerard loved you, you know?

I found this.

Virgil asked me to clean out
his office.

And it was addressed to you.

So I thought you should have it.

I was worried Gerard was up
to something.

Why?

I overheard phone calls
between him

and Ondine talking about
missing inventory at Lavigne.

Did you ever ask Gerard
about it?

No, we kept our personal
and work relationships separate.

He was a very nice man

when he was able to disconnect
from Lavigne,

even if it was for
fleeting moments.

Thank you, Lauren.

Bonsoir.

Mademoiselle.

Merci.

De rien.

So I had a long chat with Théo.

He and Gerard were definitely
involved.

Ondine alluded to being rejected
by Gerard.

Right.

Because Gerard chose Théo
instead.

That is why she killed him.

It seems like case is closed.

Due to your able assistance.

All you, Inspector Duvreuil.

Okay.

Duvreuil.

Voilà.

Merci bonjour.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Duvreuil.

Tu es sérieux là?

Ok. J'arrive. J'arrive.

The autopsy revealed that Ondine
died of a blunt force trauma,

a hit right behind the ear,
not a gunshot wound.

Which means somebody staged
her death as a suicide.

And a Lavigne handbag found
at the scene is a counterfeit.

Which means somebody staged
he[CHILDREN SHOUTING]e.

AThen I guess Théo deserves
at a second look after all.it.

No, Théo was in London
the night Ondine was murdered.

I just checked charges
on the Lavigne account.

Charlotte's still going to
be released, though, right?

André?

Look, Lauren, since Ondine
didn't kill herself,

Charlotte remains the main
suspect in Gerard's death.

I'm sorry.

But we just have to find
something else.

Okay, look. A counterfeit bag
was found at the scene.

That's got to mean something.

So I could go back to Ondine's
to see if we missed a clue.

And maybe your family can help.

Forgers must be a
pretty small community, right?

And maybe yl'm sorry. can help.

Lauren, I became a policeman
to escape my family,

not to use them for my job.

I didn't mean it.

I got to go.

Sorry, dad.

What am I looking for?

Hey.

Hi, honey.

Hey, dad.

Oh, is now a bad time?

No, not at all.

I got a new hobby.

I'm jogging.

And I'm in the park.

See?

Oh.

It's not the same without
you though.

Hey, how's Paris?

Oh, it's great.

Busy, but... yeah.

Yeah?

Hey, where are you now?

Everything OK?

I'm just at a friend's house.

So listen, remember that
digital forensic case,

the one with the fake heiress?

Yeah, that one was a doozy.

What did you look for in all
those computer files and folders?

Oh, I searched for keywords
like probe, inquiry, and such.

What did you look for in all Maybe
you should call me back later.

My watcher tells me that
my speed per mile average

is dropping dangerously low.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks, Dad.

YeaLove you.rse.

Talk to you later, love.

How do you say
investigation in French?

In French, investigation
is enquête.

Beware of dog.

Let's hope it's a toy poodle.

It's a fake.

All this merch will go soon.

Let's make the boss happy again.

All this I hope so. go soon.

I can't take how crabby
he is since

he accidentally dropped the
lucky charm.

I take that big bonus if
I can find it for him.

Someone out there?

Je déteste les rats.

Boss needs us.

Let's go.

Okay.

Lauren?

Listen, André, I'm really sorry
about my comment before.

I really didn't mean it.

Listen, André, I'm really sorry
about mylt's late.efore.

I know.

But listen, I found an
entire warehouse

full of counterfeit
Lavigne bags.

I'll be there in 15.

Tell me where you are.

After I found an address on
I'la thumb drive 15.

At Ondine's apartment,
I decided...

No, I didn't hear you say that.

But... right.

No, I didl had a hunch. ay that.

A hunch.

Yes, a hunch that
there's something

to discover at this warehouse.

And once I was inside...

To discLauren, no, no.rehouse.

No, no, I know it's not
proper police protocol.

But once I was inside,
I discovered this,

a warehouse full of
counterfeit Lavigne bags.

There's been an uptick in
counterfeiting right across France.

This is huge.

I just wish I got a photo of
the two guys at the warehouse.

Then what?

You would have been discovered.

I don't know.

But what I do know is
that whoever

is behind these counterfeits
is the same person

that murdered Ondine and Gerard.

I'm sure of it.

If this goes wrong, I'm going
to get transferred to Timbuktu.

Woof.

They were right here.

You saw the photos.

I'm going to need a lot more
evidence to make a case.

Chau, take two more
guys and inspect the perimeter.

Sure.

Inspector Duvreuil.

Captain Fontaine.

I will be expecting a report
on my desk

explaining all this before
Cyour shift ends.

Well, I hear the weather is pretty
nice in Timbuktu this time of year.

I'm sorry, André.

They must have been moved.

Well, if they didn't move them in
Timbuktu, bonne chance finding them.

Did anything suspicious show up
on Ondine's security camera

at her building?

No, even though it was
an entry in the rear.

Ugh.

Yeah, let me guess,
it was out of service?

The camera was not
even installed.

Of course.

The camera was not
eveNo leads.ed.

Not even a real motive, I mean,
besides the counterfeit handbags...

So what now?

Je pense que nous sommes
sans issue.

Hm?

We're in a dead end.

I knew that.

Yeah.

OK, so there's only one
solution then.

Food.

Oh, well, the French cuisine
is the finest in the world.

What with nouvelle cuisine,
maybe haute cuisine?

No, I was thinking more like
is thpeople's cuisine.orld.

What is that?

I can't believe
you're passing on a hot dog.

I know it's considered Michelin
star cuisine in America.

But how, may I ask,
how is your hot dog a solution?

It just helps me think.

It's something I used to do
with my dad.

In fact, I still do.

But back then, whenever he was
working on a case

and he couldn't solve it,

we would go to our favorite
hot dog stand,

find a bench in Central Park,
load it up with mustard,

and work on scenarios.

And we would always end up with
a clue on a person, or a place,

or a thing.

And we would always end up with
a clue A person, a place. place,

That's it.

We've been focusing
too much on the people,

where we should have been
focusing on the place.

We've been focusing
tooWhat do you mean? le,

The warehouse was a bust.

Maybe not.

I have access
to the financial crime database.

Check it out.

187 Rue Duval.

This will show us if we have
anything on the property.

Look at that.

The warehouse is currently
leased by an LLC.

And this will show us
who the owner is.

Thank you for coming.

Why am I here?

I've done nothing wrong, except
maybe for that bell bottom face.

That was simply dreadful.

Well, I can assure you
this has nothing to do

with the crime of fashion.

Just for the record,
you are Ricardo Dolce, correct?

That is correct.

All right, could you describe
for me

your relationship with
Virgil St. James?

We've known each other since our
days at the Fashion Institute.

Oh, you were friends?

Oh, darling, designers have
a problem

with the concept of co-existing.

Look at Chanel and Schiaparelli.

Talk about rivalry.

Well, it's fair to say
Lookthat you and Virgil hadelli.

A long-standing feud then.

Oh, no, no, a feud would mean
that we are equals.

A No, no, that's absurd.n.

Oh, no, no, a feud would mean
th[CLEARS THROAT]s.

Well, according to my
afigures, Virgil's salesn.

For the Lavigne company

currently outnumber yours by
afiguretwo to one. salesn.

Is that correct, Mr. Dolce?

Where's he going with this?

Yeah?

Well, it will make
complete sense

that you would want to undermine
your main competitor

by counterfeiting their
most desirable goods,

like their handbags.

Maybe you would even kill
for it.

Is that why you brought me here? To accuse
me of this outrageous like nonsense? dbags.

I deny it.

Is that why you brought me here? To accuse
me of this outrageous ll deny everything...

Well, you just admitted

to a feud with Virgil.

You just admitted that Virgil
and the House of Lavigne

has obscured your brand, leaving
you embittered and vengeful.

Your company has leased
a warehouse on the Rue Duval.

That is the main station
for counterfeit goods.

And you cannot deny this because
your signature is on the lease.

Yes, I can.

This is not my signature.

It has been forged.

Ari, can we talk?

I'm due on an emergency
call with Roland Schulz,

Board of Directors.

I'm sensing some tension
over the call.

Anything I can help mitigate?

It's not good.

Two murders and another
employee's alleged involvement,

hardly inspiring for investors.

Yeah, I can certainly understand
why the board is uneasy.

They don't want to follow
the House of Lavigne,

just like what happened
in Gucci and Versace

after the scandal, the murder.

Murder scandals?

I see your French is improving.

It's kind of an easy one.

The board might want to explore a
change starting at the very top.

Hence your interest in other
designers, like Ricardo Dolce.

Ricardo?

Why do you say that?

I haven't spoken with him
in months.

None of the new trends
inspire me.

Just...

Sweater vest for woman.

Impossible.

I want you to breathe.

I must create four collections a
year, four, two for ready to wear

and two for haute couture.

Where is my inspiration,
my beloved?

Keep breathing.

Where is my inspiration,
What I am going to do?

Virgil, this is exactly why
we're here.

Sometimes the best way
to get over a creative block

is to get away from the
creative block.

So I want you to take in
the Seine.

Take it in.

So I want you to take in
Breathe it in.

Focus.

Absorb it.

Let it ground you.

Oh.

Good.

Good.

You're a blessing, ma chérie.

It's all part of my job.

All of us at Lavigne,
are appreciative

of the way you're helping
our petite, sweet Charlotte.

Les jaunes!

What?

LAre you...!

Les jaunes!

Are you OK?

Les jaunes!

The yellow.

The yellow.
Les jaunes. The yellow.

The yellow, les jaunes,
les jaunes.

Rammène ça, voilà.

This is beautiful.

C'est grace à toi. Merci.

Oh, I love it.

André.

What's up?

The judge will decide
on Charlotte's case tomorrow

unless we get more evidence.

Yeah, Charlotte will be guilty
as charged.

We got to do something.

Let's think about this
for a bit.

How many bags you saw in
the warehouse?

I don't know, 1,000.

8,500 a bag, that's...

8,500,000.

8,That's big motive.-

That guy at the warehouse,
he was looking for something.

It was something that
belonged to his boss.

Look, I... the boxes
might be gone,

but there might be a clue into

who or what is framing
migmy friend.,

Listen, we don't have
authorization

to go back to the warehouse.

Is that clear?

I have to go back to
the precinct

to fill up the report for
Captain Fontaine.

But the warehouse is off limits.

I know.

Yep.

Tu comprends?

100%.

Okay.

Beware of dog.

Yeah, right.

More like beware of rat.

There you are,
my wicked little counterfeits.

Merci beaucoup.

Your job was to help calm
my nerve,

not wreck them by ruining my
plan, ma chérie.

Maintenant tu me le rends.

Nice pendant.

Can't say the same about
your counterfeits.

Certainly not haut couture.

But they are... how...

Profitable.

Stop.

So all of this because Ari
chose Ricardo

to replace you as
creative director?

I took the House of Lavigne
from a middling fashion house

to the trendsetter it is today.

IAnd then because of some, e
how do you say, bean counter,

I am fini?

No!

No, stop!

I decided that if I was going
to be shown the door,

I might as well make a fortune
on my way out.

But your beef was with Ari.

So why would you kill Ondine
and Gerard?

Gerard.

He learned of my counterfeits,
threatening

to take this information to
the cops.

I was rather fond of Gerard,
up until the moment I kill him.

And Charlotte?

Oh, Charlotte.

Sweet Charlotte.

Her presence worked out to my,
how do you say, convenience.

After all, someone had to take
the blame.

And Ondine, that was
just another convenience?

Ondine's faux pas was
that she was a bit too nosy

about the warehouse for her
own good.

Oh.

As are you, ma chérie.

So I am afraid you're going to
join her, how do you say...

Six feet under.

Well, I guess I won't be
at Fashion Week again, right?

But that's OK.

You're pretty calm now.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's true.

I feel better.

Hey.

You all right?

You saved my life.

Glad you threw away the book
this time.

Inspector Duvreuil.

Captain Fontaine.

Impressive.

Merci, Captain.

It appears that my trip to
Timbuktu got cancelled.

Lauren.

We are so celebrating.

Haute cuisine, dancing.

Champagne.

Lots of champagne.

Charlotte, we are so happy
that you're vindicated.

Lauren was there when I
needed her.

And she just never gave
up on me.

And Virgil may be behind bars, but
the work at Lavigne must go on.

You are needed now more than
ever, Lauren.

Well, it's nice to be
needed, Ari.

But I feel like it's time for me
to go home.

Oh, you go to New York to make
a living.

You come to Paris to be alive.

Stay here as Lavigne's
fashion psychologist.

Full-time.

Full-time?

Oh.

Lauren, come on.

To help us shake off the stink
Lauof scandalon.

And the transition with the
new designer.

Yeah, I can't imagine Ricardo
Dolceis too keen on stepping

into Virgil's outmoded shoes.

That's why our new designer is
Donatella Ford.

Are you serious?

What?

Seriously?

Yes.

That's impressive.

So you'll consider.

Oui.

I don't know.

Moving to Paris would be a huge
step for me.

You know my biggest regret?

What I didn't do.

Lauren, can you at least
consider it, please?

Mademoiselle, hot dog for
your thoughts.

Merci.

De rien.

Bonjour.

Lavigne just offered me
a full-time job.

Congrats.

Thanks.

Lauren, what are you
going to do?

Well, it's actually a pretty
easy decision to make.

Well?

I'm staying.

Merveilleux.

Wait, is this Dijon on my
hot dog?

Of course.

What?

Hot dog Dijon.

Still a French national mustard.

No, no, it was the
Romans that introduced Dijon.

Still aNo, Dijon, France.ustard.

Don't tell me that.

I end up jumping from
this booth.
