Look What You Made Me Do - Uncut Full Movie
Transcript
00:00:00My name is Claire Duvall.
00:00:02My fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:00:06Dylan, where are you?
00:00:08Ava really needs me.
00:00:10I'm ready to move forward.
00:00:13Mr. Cross, you need a wife and I need revenge.
00:00:17We should get married.
00:00:19The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:00:23You've lost everything.
00:00:26And you just don't know it yet.
00:00:28You're not a nobody.
00:00:30Nobody took their eyes off of you.
00:00:32You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:00:36Claire cannot succeed.
00:00:38Perfect.
00:00:40Maxwell will pay for this.
00:00:42He retouches my wife.
00:00:44Since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:00:48So, who will be the 23rd winner of the Top Model Competition?
00:01:00Claire Bear, my love for you, it transcends words.
00:01:11You're my forever.
00:01:14Will you marry me?
00:01:17Yes.
00:01:25Okay, wait. You guys look so good. I need a photo.
00:01:28One, two, three.
00:01:31Lucky bitch.
00:01:32To Claire!
00:01:33And Dylan!
00:01:36Drink more, baby.
00:01:44So, you proposed to that bitch, huh?
00:01:48You're so fucking sexy.
00:01:50I want you now, Dylan.
00:01:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:54What are you doing? She's right there.
00:01:56Don't worry about her.
00:01:57I slipped her a little something.
00:01:59She won't know.
00:02:20You've lost everything.
00:02:22And you just don't know it yet.
00:02:28I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:31He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:33Rise and shine!
00:02:37Wait. No can do.
00:02:40What happened here after I left?
00:02:42So, I had the most awful dream last night.
00:02:44No more wedding jitters. You can't be late to your big date.
00:02:47That's bad luck.
00:02:48Speaking of luck, I brought you something new.
00:02:53It's beautiful.
00:02:55It's beautiful. Thank you.
00:02:57I hope you didn't spend too much.
00:02:59Never do.
00:03:00L.E. Express, baby.
00:03:01Things you love don't need to break the bank.
00:03:03Come on.
00:03:04You're getting married!
00:03:06Let's go.
00:03:10Is it really a dream?
00:03:14Dylan, where are you?
00:03:16Hey, hey. I'm at the hospital.
00:03:19Are you okay? What happened?
00:03:21No, I'm fine.
00:03:22No, I'm fine.
00:03:23It's Ava. She fainted.
00:03:26Yeah, the doctors are running tests.
00:03:28I'm with her now.
00:03:29So, I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:33He won't show up tomorrow.
00:03:35Just wait.
00:03:39He's mine.
00:03:44I'm with her now.
00:03:45So, I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:48I know. I'm sorry. I wanted to be there.
00:03:50I wanted to be there, but Ava...
00:03:51Ava really needs me.
00:03:53Come on, Claire Bear. You know I love you.
00:03:56Hey, I gotta go.
00:04:05Get off.
00:04:06I can't get enough of you.
00:04:14It wasn't a dream.
00:04:18It's real.
00:04:21It's all real.
00:04:36Christian, your fiancee refuses to sign the prenup and now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:40She stalled until the wedding day.
00:04:43This is blackmail. Cut her loose.
00:04:45That's Christian Cross.
00:04:47The CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:51Christian, your father...
00:04:53He doesn't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:56Find me another girl.
00:04:58I've got an hour.
00:05:00I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:05:03Mr. Cross?
00:05:15I have a proposition for you.
00:05:21My name is Claire Duvall.
00:05:23My fiancee betrayed me with the woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:29How is it I can help you, Ms. Duvall?
00:05:31Actually, it's how we can help each other.
00:05:34You need a wife and I need revenge.
00:05:37We should get married.
00:05:40Gavin?
00:05:41Already on it.
00:05:42Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:45I'm sorry.
00:05:47Already on it.
00:05:48Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:50No criminal record.
00:05:51Model with Newstown Agency.
00:05:53And I'm married.
00:05:59Deal.
00:06:05Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:17So, thank you for doing this.
00:06:20If it's all the same to you,
00:06:22I'd like to keep this...
00:06:24arrangement a secret for now.
00:06:27I need my fiancee, ex-fiancee,
00:06:30to find out about us in the right way,
00:06:33at just the right moment.
00:06:35I'll give you six months to plot an exact year of revenge.
00:06:38After that, our marriage will be over,
00:06:40and I'll have nothing to do with it.
00:06:42I'm sorry.
00:06:44I'll give you six months to plot an exact year of revenge.
00:06:46After that, our marriage announcement will be released to the press.
00:06:49Fair enough.
00:06:51One more thing.
00:06:53I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:56That means living under the same roof.
00:06:59Oh.
00:07:00I have a very loyal, discreet staff
00:07:02that will keep our secret a secret.
00:07:05Every need will be met.
00:07:07I can live with that.
00:07:09Gavin will be in touch.
00:07:15That Miss Duval, she's, um...
00:07:17she's something.
00:07:19Don't you mean Mrs. Cross?
00:07:21Right.
00:07:22I just mean...
00:07:24You didn't even mention the prenup.
00:07:26Am I missing something?
00:07:27More than you can fathom.
00:07:29I want you to keep a close eye on my wife.
00:07:32Consider it done, boss.
00:07:45Okay, she's walking in right now.
00:07:47I gotta go.
00:07:49Hey.
00:07:50Hey, thank God you're here.
00:07:52Ava was supposed to walk into the tour show later today.
00:07:55I need you to pretend to be her.
00:07:57You promised me last time I wouldn't have to do that again, Dylan.
00:08:01My company cannot afford to lose this commission.
00:08:04If you love me, you'll do this.
00:08:10I guess you leave me with no choice.
00:08:13I'll do it.
00:08:16I'm sorry everything got so screwed up yesterday.
00:08:19We'll get married soon.
00:08:22I promise.
00:08:24You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:28Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase
00:08:31with fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:43I'm going to be sick.
00:08:44What a two-timing bastard.
00:08:46Ava, that bastard.
00:08:47Bitch.
00:08:48I know.
00:08:49Guard this with your life.
00:08:51Sad as it is.
00:08:52Piss off, Felix, you insufferable parasite.
00:08:55At least Ava's set to win the top model competition.
00:08:57Third year in a row.
00:08:59Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
00:09:02Standing right here.
00:09:04Hurry, put on your mask.
00:09:05That's the designer.
00:09:06He can never know you're not Ava.
00:09:14Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:16I'm grabbing your model gifting and we're out of here.
00:09:18You're not covering up for Ava again.
00:09:20Especially after what she did to you.
00:09:22Actually, I have a plan.
00:09:25Hand me the bracelet.
00:09:28Modeling our next piece in the Trula collection
00:09:31is Ava Bennett.
00:09:35Behold the Juliet bracelet.
00:09:38Crafted with 36 exquisite emeralds
00:09:41and 15 flawless diamonds,
00:09:43this 22 carat wonder
00:09:45graces the wrist of our radiant Miss Ava Bennett.
00:09:53Wow.
00:09:54Oh my gosh.
00:09:55What is that?
00:09:56I don't do anklets.
00:09:58I hate anklets.
00:10:04I'm a genius.
00:10:05I love it.
00:10:06I want one.
00:10:09Oh, perhaps I could envision an anklet or two in my line.
00:10:15Your girl just came up.
00:10:17You should get in here.
00:10:19Well, hello.
00:10:21That is not Ava Bennett.
00:10:23She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:26What is she up to?
00:10:28Who's under the mask?
00:10:30Mask up!
00:10:32Mask up!
00:10:33Mask up!
00:10:34Mask up!
00:10:35Mask up!
00:10:36Mask up!
00:10:37Mask up!
00:10:38Mask up!
00:10:39Mask up!
00:10:40Mask up!
00:10:41Well, let's all see what we're hiding here.
00:10:52Where did you come from?
00:10:55That's Claire Duval.
00:10:57A nobody and now a thief.
00:11:00How dare you steal Ava Bennett's place.
00:11:02That's a lie.
00:11:07You don't want to do that.
00:11:09Mr. Cross, we were not expecting you to come this evening.
00:11:13Well, it's a good thing I did.
00:11:18You alright?
00:11:20I am now.
00:11:26Joan Fairchild, Glamour Magazine.
00:11:28Does this mark your first return to the runway?
00:11:30How do you know the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, Christian Cross?
00:11:33Is there bad blood between you and Ava B?
00:11:35No comment.
00:11:44Need a ride?
00:11:51Well, that was exciting.
00:11:54Sorry to get you mixed up in all this.
00:11:56That's what husbands are for.
00:11:58You want to tell me what's going on back there?
00:12:02I did it on purpose.
00:12:04Put the bracelet on my ankle.
00:12:06The biggest difference between Ava and I is our legs.
00:12:09I wanted to get caught.
00:12:14I wanted to get caught.
00:12:16And you did so spectacularly.
00:12:18I've never seen a model command the stage like you did up there.
00:12:22For a nobody.
00:12:24You're not a nobody.
00:12:26No one would take their eyes off of you.
00:12:28You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:12:31I know my modeling track record has been pathetic at best.
00:12:36And why is that?
00:12:38From where I'm sitting, you have everything you need to be a top model.
00:12:41I don't know. Just unlucky or something.
00:12:44Or something.
00:12:51I think I'm going to be sick.
00:12:53I can't deal with more reporters tonight.
00:12:55We can go back to my place.
00:12:57It's your call.
00:13:02Let's do it.
00:13:04This night can't get any crazier.
00:13:07Oh, I gotta get this.
00:13:09Hey.
00:13:10It's not good.
00:13:12Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:16It's not looking good.
00:13:18Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:20She told the reporters that she did not ask you to step in.
00:13:23She said that nobody can model AliExpress and Betsy Latour like she does.
00:13:27And in fact, she said that you deliberately pushed her.
00:13:31And that's how she got hurt.
00:13:33Wow.
00:13:34So I've been bumped from stealing her spot to bodily assault?
00:13:37She's one step ahead of us.
00:13:40Not for long.
00:13:42Ava's going to want to revel in this victory.
00:13:44And she has a thing for bathrooms, so...
00:13:47Yuck.
00:13:48Gross.
00:13:50Zoe, here's what we're going to do.
00:13:54Ms. Latour, I take it you saw the interview?
00:13:56Yes.
00:13:57Yes, I agree. Claire has her issues.
00:14:00No, no, no. Don't worry. I've taken care of it.
00:14:04Don't worry. I've taken care of it.
00:14:06My legal department is preparing a statement for the press where she'll take full responsibility.
00:14:12Ava will be in top shape, back on her feet for the shoot in Seattle.
00:14:16Yes, you have my word.
00:14:19So, what do you say?
00:14:21Latour's in the bag.
00:14:23But Claire has to take the fall.
00:14:25Perfect.
00:14:27Let's celebrate.
00:14:38Are you going to join me?
00:14:41Do you think that's a good idea?
00:14:43Because the doctor hasn't diagnosed your mysterious stomach issue yet.
00:14:47I have a different kind of ache.
00:14:49And I need you to take care of it.
00:14:56Wine?
00:14:58Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:00It is. It's my favorite piece of his.
00:15:03It's incredible.
00:15:06You hungry?
00:15:08Starved.
00:15:17You're awfully quiet.
00:15:19More like speechless.
00:15:21The food was amazing.
00:15:23The food was amazing? Where did you learn to cook like that?
00:15:26It's going to sound cliche, but growing up I spent more time in the kitchen with the staff than with my actual parents.
00:15:33I get it.
00:15:35Maybe you would.
00:15:37You're nothing like I thought you'd be.
00:15:40Dare I ask?
00:15:42Ruthless. Someone used to getting what they want at the expense of others.
00:15:47Someone who cares more about the bottom line than people.
00:15:51To most, I am that person.
00:15:54But to the ones I hold dear, the ones I choose to let in...
00:16:13Make no mistake, Claire.
00:16:15If you do betray me,
00:16:17if you betray me,
00:16:19I'll be no forgiveness.
00:16:20Right back at you, Mr. Cross.
00:16:34Morning.
00:16:36Sorry, I must have dozed off.
00:16:38Hold on, let me get that.
00:16:40I don't think that's a good idea.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:48Hello?
00:16:49Hey, where are you?
00:16:50I found a place to hide out. The reporters are hounding me.
00:16:53Claire Bear, I know this isn't ideal, but I need you in the office right now.
00:16:58Not ideal? Ava practically told the whole world I'm crazy.
00:17:01Oh, just forgive her.
00:17:03Poor Ava. The medication she's on is making her paranoid.
00:17:07Will I see you soon?
00:17:09Sure, Dylan. I'll see you soon.
00:17:14What are you doing?
00:17:17Just in case you need anything.
00:17:19Daddy?
00:17:20I mean, I was going to put hubby, but since you're keeping me a secret...
00:17:24For now.
00:17:32What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:34All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the runway show for Ava.
00:17:38Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:41The bracelet was tailored to Ava's wrist, and she's bigger boned than me.
00:17:45It didn't fit. I had to improvise.
00:17:47That makes sense.
00:17:49You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you had some agenda against me,
00:17:53but I told her there's no way that you would sabotage me.
00:17:56We're getting married. You love me. You would never hurt me.
00:18:01You're right, Dylan. You know me so well.
00:18:03There's still a situation here, and if you don't do something to fix this,
00:18:07Muse will lose the Latour contract.
00:18:10This will cause a domino effect at the agency, and I won't be able to stop the cutbacks.
00:18:15Junior staff will lose their jobs. That includes Zoe.
00:18:18I can't have that.
00:18:21I can't have that.
00:18:23Well, there's not much time.
00:18:25My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:30Memorize it.
00:18:32You'll be meeting with the press in ten minutes.
00:18:35But this is a confession.
00:18:37I might not have a career after this.
00:18:39Well, let's be honest.
00:18:41Ava is our top billing model, and you, Claire, never really took off.
00:18:46Despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:50I get it. I'm expendable.
00:18:54And one more thing.
00:18:56Stick to the script.
00:18:59No more improvising.
00:19:02AVAILABLE NOW
00:19:08Everything ready to go?
00:19:09My finger's on the trigger.
00:19:11I gotta go. Fire away.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:15Please tell me you're not using a burner.
00:19:16Who the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm thinking too small of a key.
00:19:24Thanks a lot.
00:19:32Members of the press.
00:19:34Thank you for coming.
00:19:35In regards to the events that occurred at the True Love fashion show,
00:19:38I deeply regret any harm I caused Mr. Vincent Latour and his revered brand.
00:19:44I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:47News talent agency had no knowledge of my intention to take Ava's place on the runway.
00:19:53These photos would suggest otherwise.
00:19:58Photos? What photos?
00:20:04Photos? What photos?
00:20:07This is evidence that Miss Duvall regularly pretends to be Miss Bennet over the last two years.
00:20:12Surely the president of the company must have known.
00:20:15Right.
00:20:16Claire, if you're being used as a scapegoat and you want to be rescued, just blink twice.
00:20:21Miss Duvall stands by her statement.
00:20:23She acted alone as the sole perpetrator.
00:20:26I, we, News Talent as a company had no idea of any and all prior incidences.
00:20:37We are done here.
00:20:40Wait a minute.
00:20:41Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:42Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:43Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:44What happened?
00:20:45Wait, hold on.
00:20:46Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:47Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:48Wait a minute.
00:20:50Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:52Thank you, Christian.
00:20:54Ladies had it under control. I just gave them a little boost.
00:20:58My wife's a force of nature.
00:21:00Yeah, she's had to be.
00:21:05Take a look at that.
00:21:07Here's what I got so far.
00:21:09Upon signing with News Talent Agency at 21,
00:21:11Claire Duvall was initially overseen by Miranda Maxwell,
00:21:15Donald Maxwell's older sister.
00:21:16Now the chairman of Maxwell Holdings.
00:21:18We've crossed paths.
00:21:19Exactly.
00:21:20Claire was hailed a rising star in the modeling world.
00:21:23Then inexplicably, her stardom plummeted.
00:21:26Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental.
00:21:28She would show up late for shoots or not at all.
00:21:30There was even suspicion that drugs were involved.
00:21:32Offers dried up completely.
00:21:34They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:36It appears that way, but why?
00:21:39If you want to crush someone's dream,
00:21:42you don't just take it away, you kill it.
00:21:45By that time, Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:21:50She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoe Bauer.
00:21:53And that's when Dylan Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:21:57He broke her down just so he could scoop her up.
00:22:01Doesn't make sense.
00:22:03Claire Duvall is the total package.
00:22:05Why would a talent agency tank the career of a supermodel in the making?
00:22:08Because there was more money to be made elsewhere.
00:22:12Someone's pulling Dylan Maxwell's strings.
00:22:15We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:18Someone's pulling Dylan Maxwell's strings.
00:22:21We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:48What?
00:23:00Claire, the paparazzi keeps following me everywhere, but I think I can lose them.
00:23:04Can I come over?
00:23:06No. No, I'm crashing at Zoe's.
00:23:09We need to strategize our next move.
00:23:11What next move? There is no next move.
00:23:13I've done my part and took the blame.
00:23:15No, no, no, it backfired.
00:23:17No, Claire, they're after me.
00:23:19You could go and apologize to Ava.
00:23:22You can't be serious.
00:23:24No, I mean, if the press sees you do that, then...
00:23:26Then they'll think I'm crazy.
00:23:28They'll think you're repentant.
00:23:30You know, I'm starting to question your loyalty, Claire.
00:23:34Are you still with me?
00:23:38Of course, Dylan.
00:23:43There.
00:23:49When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:53The little princess bowing before me. Genius. I love it.
00:23:56And everyone will see just how low she has fallen.
00:23:59That little bitch needs it drilled into her sad head that Dylan is mine.
00:24:05True that.
00:24:06Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett Maxwell.
00:24:14Accurate.
00:24:16She's going to push your buttons. Don't let her.
00:24:20I won't.
00:24:26Stop. She's coming.
00:24:31Ava?
00:24:33Claire?
00:24:37Didn't you come here to do something like apologize to moi?
00:24:42That's what Dylan wants.
00:24:44Then get to it.
00:24:52What is this?
00:24:54Well, if you really want to apologize to me...
00:25:01Then get down on your hands and knees.
00:25:05Then wash my feet.
00:25:10Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you surprise me.
00:25:15Doesn't really sound like an apology, does it?
00:25:20You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:23You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:27Seeing you like this, seeing what you've become, seeing just how far you'll go to feed the emptiness inside of you.
00:25:34You know what? It's not your feet that need to be washed.
00:25:37It's that cold, black heart of yours.
00:25:42Bravo, Claire. How long have you been rehearsing that little speech?
00:25:46I'm still waiting on my apology.
00:25:48Tick tock.
00:25:50Then let me be perfectly clear.
00:25:53I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:01Did you get all that?
00:26:08Hey, fam. Reggie here. Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:11So, the past 40 hours have been cray cray.
00:26:15So, let's figure out what's going on in the battle royale of supermodels.
00:26:20I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:26Listen here. Claire D was about to show all her true colors.
00:26:32But guess what, fam? That girl has nothing to apologize for. Nada. Zilch.
00:26:37Because this intrepid reporter has obtained intimate photos of Ava B and a certain muse CEO.
00:26:44Dylan M, aren't you engaged to Claire D?
00:26:48She just got a cheat, I guess.
00:26:49And listen here, Ava B. You are one naughty, nasty, disgusting little girl, by the way.
00:26:57So, tune in next week to see what happens on the battle royale of supermodels.
00:27:01I'm going to go ahead and wash my eyes out now because I feel wrong.
00:27:06Wrong.
00:27:07It's Reggie took your anonymous tip and ran with it. It's brilliant, Claire.
00:27:11Oh, that? That was nothing.
00:27:14You're enjoying this.
00:27:16What's that old expression? Revenge is sweet.
00:27:19I like the side of you.
00:27:21Then do you want to join me on part two of my revenge?
00:27:24Lead the way.
00:27:29Hey, it's Claire. Leave a message.
00:27:31Hey, Claire Bear. I'm here where you told us to meet. Where are you?
00:27:36Hey, love. Everything is not what it seems, okay? We can talk about it when you get here.
00:27:41See you soon.
00:27:47I cannot tell you how many times I was one left hanging, waiting for him.
00:27:53Sometimes he would show. Most often not at all.
00:27:57Do you still love him?
00:28:00How can I love someone I never really knew?
00:28:04Look at him over there, plotting ways to get me back. He's clearly into Ava.
00:28:09Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:13Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:16That's the million dollar question.
00:28:23Poor bastard.
00:28:25Do you want to keep watching?
00:28:27No. I'm ready to move forward.
00:28:30Let's go back to my house and get the last of my things.
00:28:34She came by to say goodnight.
00:28:36Come in.
00:28:40Is this your family?
00:28:42Yeah. This is my debutante ball. I was 20.
00:28:46Was it a memorable night?
00:28:48Unforgettable.
00:28:52Claire! Where are you, Claire?
00:28:56Claire!
00:28:58Claire!
00:29:01Where are you, Claire?
00:29:03Claire?
00:29:06Claire! There you are.
00:29:08What are you doing hiding out here? This is your debut.
00:29:12I just need a moment, Mom.
00:29:15Well, your grandmother's looking for you. She has someone she wants you to meet.
00:29:19It's quite a catch.
00:29:21I want more from this life than balls and suitable matches and this golden cage.
00:29:26There's a world out there to explore.
00:29:28Adventures to have. Risks to take.
00:29:30Enough of this nonsense, Claire.
00:29:33Your grandmother is not someone to be trifled with.
00:29:36Well, tell her thanks but no thanks.
00:29:39Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:45Don't be selfish.
00:29:49Can't afford another scandal.
00:29:51Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:29:59Remember who you are.
00:30:02The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:05You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:09I'm not your young lady.
00:30:11And I'm no longer a Winthrop.
00:30:14From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:30:18That was the last time I saw them before I ran away.
00:30:24They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:49What's the five going to be today?
00:30:57Endless possibilities. So many to pick from.
00:31:00With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:05Dylan, did you see it? It should be me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:10First the scandal and now this.
00:31:12The world is going to be a mess.
00:31:15First the scandal and now this.
00:31:17The world is turning against me.
00:31:20I need you.
00:31:21You're not the only one going through shit, Ava.
00:31:24Why are you being so mean?
00:31:29My office. Now.
00:31:32I'm-
00:31:37Curb your appetite, baby brother.
00:31:40This was supposed to be easy.
00:31:43And you're fucking it all up.
00:31:49Claire, it's me.
00:31:52I'm coming in, okay?
00:32:03Claire, they're replying backfire.
00:32:04Should I be worried? Where are you?
00:32:06I'm home.
00:32:08Bullshit. I am in your house.
00:32:10Yeah, I woke up this morning and got like a thousand texts from Dylan asking for your whereabouts.
00:32:14He wanted my address since you were crashing at my place.
00:32:17But we both know you're not at my place nor at yours.
00:32:20So Claire, where are you?
00:32:22In the mood for a frittata?
00:32:24Frittata?
00:32:26Who's that?
00:32:30So, I got married.
00:32:33Married?
00:32:35When? How?
00:32:37With who?
00:32:39It's a long story, Ava. It's too long for a phone call.
00:32:42Stay put. Gavin will pick you up.
00:32:44Gavin? Who the hell is Gavin?
00:32:53Hey, rookie.
00:32:54Gavin at your service.
00:32:56You.
00:33:02Why would you do that?
00:33:04For being an arrogant prick.
00:33:06You got a short fuse, rookie.
00:33:09My name is Zoe, asshole.
00:33:27We're coming in.
00:33:30Hi.
00:33:35I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:37I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:39Believe me, Mr. Cross.
00:33:41I know who you are. Everybody knows.
00:33:44Call me Christian. I mean, Claire talks so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:33:47Yeah?
00:33:50Cool.
00:33:52Claire, a word?
00:33:56Excuse us.
00:34:00No kicks for him?
00:34:01No kicks for him?
00:34:05You married Christian Cross?
00:34:07Don't freak out.
00:34:08Too late.
00:34:09Christian Cross is your husband.
00:34:11I know.
00:34:12Claire, this is like next, next level.
00:34:15Dylan is gonna shit himself.
00:34:17You couldn't ask for sweeter revenge than dumping that shriveled little worm in scoring.
00:34:22The richest, baddest, sexiest dude in this whole freaking planet.
00:34:27Zoe, we can't tell anyone yet.
00:34:29Swear you won't say anything.
00:34:31I swear.
00:34:33This is going to be epic!
00:34:36Oh my gosh.
00:34:43Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:34:45I need to talk to you.
00:34:47Doc, have you figured out what's wrong with her stomach?
00:34:49Yes, I predict that it will be resolved in nine months.
00:34:52Why? That's long.
00:34:53Medicine has come a long way, Mr. Maxwell.
00:34:56But even science can't shorten the gestation period of a fetus.
00:35:04Okay, so we stabilized your pregnancy and corrected your acute need.
00:35:10You're no longer at risk of miscarriage.
00:35:12But if you continue to neglect your condition, you will need to come back and get another transfusion.
00:35:17Do not wait until you faint this time, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:20Thanks, doctor.
00:35:21You're welcome.
00:35:22Okay, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:23Mr. Maxwell.
00:35:27No, no, no, no, no.
00:35:31I can't believe this.
00:35:33You're pregnant?
00:35:35Why wouldn't you tell me about this before?
00:35:37This is a fucking disaster.
00:35:40How can you have a bun in the oven and walk on a runway?
00:35:43Huh?
00:35:44You know what the press finds out?
00:35:46We're fucked.
00:35:47They will tear us to shreds.
00:35:49There is no coming back from this.
00:35:51Do you understand what you've done?
00:35:53If Claire finds out about this, she won't marry me.
00:35:55I've lost everything.
00:35:58How dare you?
00:35:59I am so sick and tired of hearing Claire's name.
00:36:04You are going to be a father now, Dylan.
00:36:06How can you just still marry her?
00:36:08You told me you don't love her anymore.
00:36:09I don't love her.
00:36:11Ava, it is-
00:36:12Then break up with her and marry me!
00:36:14It is not that simple.
00:36:16Claire is worth billions.
00:36:18Or her family is.
00:36:19She is a Winthrop.
00:36:20So you're telling me that that skank-leggy bitch is some secret heiress?
00:36:26When Claire became a model, she had to change her name
00:36:29because her family didn't approve.
00:36:31And how do you know this information?
00:36:33Miranda, my sister.
00:36:35She runs in the same circles as her grandmother.
00:36:38Just think about it.
00:36:39If I marry Claire,
00:36:40the only thing that's standing between me and three billion dollars
00:36:45is an ancient gem.
00:36:47Three billion dollars?
00:36:49It's an ancient bitch who's about to fall over.
00:36:52You mean three billion dollars standing between us.
00:36:56Right, Dylan?
00:36:57Of course, Ava.
00:36:58But in order for that to work,
00:37:00Claire cannot succeed.
00:37:02And you have to be at the top of your game
00:37:05and win the competition.
00:37:06Or if that doesn't work,
00:37:08sabotage.
00:37:10Claire won't know what hit her.
00:37:11And we still have the Latour contract.
00:37:14So we can turn this thing around.
00:37:16You'll win top model at the competition.
00:37:18Claire will be crushed.
00:37:20And have to marry me.
00:37:23And then we'll tell everybody that you're abroad in Milan
00:37:26while you're having our baby.
00:37:28And once that elder bitch croaks,
00:37:31a series of unfortunate events will happen to Claire.
00:37:34Too bad.
00:37:35So sad.
00:37:36Bye bye, Claire bear.
00:37:39Well, after careful consideration,
00:37:43Latour has chosen Claire Duval
00:37:46as the new face of our true love collection.
00:37:52I'm deeply honored by Mr. Latour's faith in me.
00:37:54And I look forward to representing
00:37:56such a prestigious global brand.
00:37:58Mr. Latour,
00:38:00a little birdie told me that Ava B's contract was terminated.
00:38:04Mr. Latour,
00:38:05a little birdie told me that Ava B's contract was terminated
00:38:08using a morality clause.
00:38:10Well, after the whole bathroom gate scandal,
00:38:14can you blame me?
00:38:15But Miss Duval's not without her own controversy.
00:38:18Especially after impersonating Ava Bennett at her own show.
00:38:22What made you decide to give her a shot?
00:38:24Well,
00:38:27Christian, you were asking me to bet on an unproven model
00:38:30with a dubious past.
00:38:34I could tell you how brilliant she is,
00:38:36or how lucky you'd be to have her,
00:38:38but I'm not going to try to persuade you, Vince.
00:38:40Time will do that.
00:38:44What I will say is,
00:38:46if you don't hire Claire Duval,
00:38:48Pinnacle will unilaterally stop promoting Latour
00:38:50across all platforms.
00:38:52From film and television productions
00:38:54to our cruise lines.
00:38:58Well,
00:38:59you know,
00:39:00when I decided to expand from a single shop
00:39:02on Jewelers Row
00:39:04to an international brand
00:39:06with shops on seven continents,
00:39:09someone took a chance on me.
00:39:11And it is finally time that I repay that favor.
00:39:14So, to the future of Latour,
00:39:16we are expecting great things from Miss Duval
00:39:19at her upcoming photoshoot in Seattle.
00:39:28When I asked you to move in,
00:39:29I never pictured you in the kitchen.
00:39:31It's quite a sight.
00:39:33You're not supposed to be home for another hour.
00:39:35I was going to clean up.
00:39:36Where's the staff?
00:39:38I gave them the night off
00:39:39so we could celebrate my gig.
00:39:41Can't wait to hear all about it.
00:39:44The oven.
00:39:45I totally forgot about the steaks.
00:39:53I like it that way.
00:39:55If a waiter asked me how I wanted it,
00:39:57I would say that.
00:39:58That looks good.
00:39:59But it's not great.
00:40:00Okay.
00:40:01Take out it.
00:40:04Burst.
00:40:06I love you.
00:40:29I always wondered what it would be like
00:40:32to come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:34And?
00:41:05Take me away
00:41:09So have your arms around me
00:41:12And hold me tight
00:41:16I'm loving this feeling
00:41:19It feels so right
00:41:23Take me away
00:41:25To a place
00:41:27Where no one can offend us all
00:41:30Take me away
00:41:35To a place
00:41:37Where no one can offend us all
00:41:39Take me away
00:41:41To a place
00:41:43Where no one can offend us all
00:41:45Take me away
00:41:47To a place
00:41:49Where no one can offend us all
00:41:51Take me away
00:41:53To a place
00:41:55Where no one can offend us all
00:41:57Take me away
00:41:59To a place
00:42:01Where no one can offend us all
00:42:03Take me away
00:42:05To a place
00:42:07Where no one can offend us all
00:42:09Take me away
00:42:13So are you ever gonna tell me why you had to get married?
00:42:16It's not a very romantic story.
00:42:18And mine is.
00:42:19I think we're past that.
00:42:21The Cross men throughout history
00:42:24have always been adventurers.
00:42:26Some might even say rogues.
00:42:28There were quite a few rakes.
00:42:30More than a few duels.
00:42:32Why, sir, how scandalous.
00:42:34I'm most assuredly intrigued.
00:42:36A lot of them died really young.
00:42:38Nowhere.
00:42:40The Crosses were literally dying off.
00:42:43So, a codicil was added
00:42:45that required all Cross men
00:42:47to be married by the time they were 30
00:42:49or they'd lose their inheritance.
00:42:51Seriously?
00:42:52Seriously.
00:42:54I turned 30.
00:42:56On that day.
00:42:58That was your birthday.
00:43:01You didn't even celebrate.
00:43:03So then,
00:43:06you came home with me.
00:43:32Christian!
00:43:34My dear!
00:43:36How is your evening going so far?
00:43:38Yeah, good so far.
00:43:40Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:41Of course!
00:43:42And your ventures?
00:43:44Tell me about your most recent acquisition.
00:43:46A Silicon Valley startup
00:43:48with a promising artificial intelligence.
00:43:50I think it could be a game changer.
00:43:52Speaking of change,
00:43:54have you found anyone special?
00:43:56Not yet.
00:43:58I'm still searching.
00:43:59Well,
00:44:01then you must meet my granddaughter Claire.
00:44:04There she is.
00:44:12There she is.
00:44:13You need to stay here
00:44:15and do your part, young lady.
00:44:17From now on,
00:44:19I'll forge my own path
00:44:20and make my own name.
00:44:24Do not test me, Miss Winthrop.
00:44:30Miss Winthrop.
00:44:38Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund
00:44:41for a whimsical game of independence.
00:44:45Don't you worry.
00:44:46I'll bring her to heel.
00:44:48Don't bother.
00:44:49I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced.
00:44:59Hey.
00:45:00You're so beautiful.
00:45:04Hey, stop.
00:45:09Is it real for me?
00:45:11Promise we'll never forget that.
00:45:14I promise.
00:45:30My meeting's a pinnacle.
00:45:31It should end around five.
00:45:32And you're down here on seven o'clock.
00:45:34Picking someone to see.
00:45:35I can't wait.
00:45:38Anais Adler is one of the most famous
00:45:39fashion photographers in the world.
00:45:42Christian, what if I freeze up
00:45:43or stumble or choke or something?
00:45:45Then you're spectacular.
00:45:47Because you are spectacular.
00:45:50Okay?
00:45:55I'm sorry.
00:45:58I'm sorry.
00:46:11A private plane,
00:46:12a limousine to the shoot,
00:46:14and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:46:16Sign me up.
00:46:18These last five years,
00:46:19I've had such bad luck.
00:46:21But since Christian came into my life,
00:46:23I think my luck has finally changed.
00:46:28No one deserves it more than you do, Claire.
00:46:30Now let's get in there and blow them all away.
00:46:42I'm with you today.
00:46:45Claire's my girl.
00:46:46I've got this.
00:46:47I think, Miss Bauer,
00:46:49that we got off on the wrong foot.
00:46:51I think you're an excellent manager.
00:46:53And under normal circumstances,
00:46:55Mr. Bauer will be in great hands.
00:46:56But?
00:46:58There are dark forces at play.
00:47:00Claire's gonna need all the help she can get.
00:47:03Truce?
00:47:05For Claire.
00:47:07Truce.
00:47:12Claire, this is a first date.
00:47:15You're so nervous, are you?
00:47:17Because you may be the one.
00:47:19No?
00:47:20So?
00:47:22What necklace do you wear?
00:47:24Come, see the play.
00:47:26That one?
00:47:32Oh, incredible.
00:47:33Oui, oui.
00:47:35Oh, yes.
00:47:37Your eyes have so much awe and thrill.
00:47:42Oui.
00:47:44Claire, come, rest.
00:47:46The male model, he should be here any moment.
00:47:48And I'm sure he will.
00:47:50He'll be here any moment.
00:47:52And let's hope whoever they sent
00:47:54can match your looks and your talent.
00:47:56It is tragic.
00:47:58We never worked together before.
00:48:00It's a deal.
00:48:02Okay, you rest.
00:48:06It's happening.
00:48:08It's finally happening.
00:48:12Dylan, you scared me.
00:48:13What are you doing here?
00:48:14Last time that I checked,
00:48:15we were still engaged.
00:48:17So I have every right to see my fiancée?
00:48:19Yeah, well, you lost that right
00:48:21when you slept with Ava.
00:48:23No, that was a one-time thing.
00:48:25And it didn't mean anything at all.
00:48:27But we could have moved past it
00:48:29if you would have just returned my calls.
00:48:32Come on.
00:48:34Don't be like this to me.
00:48:36Not after everything I've done for you.
00:48:38Done for me?
00:48:40You weren't just a crappy boyfriend, Dylan.
00:48:42You were a crappy agent, too.
00:48:44I don't know how you tricked Latour
00:48:46into giving you this gig,
00:48:48but you're making a fool of yourself.
00:48:51The days of pretending to be a model,
00:48:53they're over, Claire.
00:48:55All right, you're coming home with me right now.
00:48:57We'll get married in Vegas
00:48:59on our way back.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02We're over.
00:49:04We've been over for a long time, Dylan.
00:49:06Leave.
00:49:07We've been over for a long time.
00:49:11Leave.
00:49:15You're hurting me.
00:49:16I haven't even begun to hurt you.
00:49:18You know, my biggest mistake
00:49:19was being too gentle with you.
00:49:21You know that male model
00:49:22that's supposed to show up today?
00:49:24He's not coming.
00:49:26Your biggest break
00:49:28is about to be your worst nightmare.
00:49:30Nobody will show up for you
00:49:32after your little drama today
00:49:34ruins this shoot.
00:49:36What, you think you're too good for me, Claire?
00:49:38Huh?
00:49:39You will never escape from me.
00:49:41Let her go!
00:49:42Hey, you need to leave now.
00:49:45I'm going.
00:49:48I'll see you soon, Claire Bear.
00:49:52Are you okay?
00:49:54No.
00:49:56Dylan canceled the male model.
00:49:58No one's coming.
00:50:00When Latour finds out...
00:50:03I'm ruined.
00:50:05There's still time to fix this.
00:50:07You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:50:10Hey.
00:50:12How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:14Year one foot traffic,
00:50:16what are we projecting?
00:50:17Fifteen million,
00:50:18conservatively.
00:50:19And if we surpass that?
00:50:20A ten percent balance is currently
00:50:22straight up.
00:50:32Let's make history together.
00:50:35Let's make history together.
00:50:40Excuse me.
00:50:42How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:45Hello, Vincent.
00:50:47This is catastrophe.
00:50:49My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:50:51No.
00:50:52Where is the lover
00:50:55to complete the true love piece de resistance?
00:50:57Huh?
00:50:58Anais, yes, I know.
00:50:59I am sorry.
00:51:00We are scrambling to find somebody.
00:51:02But nothing is looking good.
00:51:04This Claire Duval, I am telling you.
00:51:06Disaster just follows this chick
00:51:08wherever she goes.
00:51:23Crisis averted.
00:51:25The lover is here.
00:51:28And won't do what a lover he is.
00:51:33Thank you for doing this.
00:51:35He touch you?
00:51:37Maxwell will pay for this.
00:51:39If he touches my wife.
00:51:44Quick, quick.
00:51:45Get the lover in costume.
00:51:47Please.
00:51:50Excuse me, Miss Adler.
00:51:52Let's try not to show his face.
00:51:54Mr. Kress really values his privacy.
00:51:56I have an NDA here for you and the crew to sign.
00:51:58Thank you so much.
00:52:00Wait.
00:52:01Now.
00:52:03This is the grand gesture.
00:52:05The moment of do or die.
00:52:08The height of love romance.
00:52:10Voila.
00:52:11There he is, Claire.
00:52:12Down on one knee.
00:52:14Ring in hand.
00:52:15A question in his eyes.
00:52:20And you.
00:52:21Your heart says leave.
00:52:23Behold lips.
00:52:25This is the dream come true.
00:52:27True romance.
00:52:30Nice.
00:52:43Christian Cross.
00:52:46I'll be damned.
00:52:48The bond it has.
00:52:50Match your deepest.
00:52:55No matter what life threw at you.
00:52:57It cannot tell you apart.
00:53:03Look into each other's eyes.
00:53:05And whisper.
00:53:08Hey, wifey.
00:53:10Hey, hubby.
00:53:13This campaign is going to be a massive hit.
00:53:20Hey, fans.
00:53:21Reggie here.
00:53:22So, buckle up.
00:53:23Because this week, oh, boy, oh, boy.
00:53:25We have the drama for the Battle Royale of the Supermodels.
00:53:29First up, let's look at the creme de la creme of the nominees.
00:53:32Of course, top of the list is our reigning queen, Ava B.
00:53:35But hold up, girlfriend.
00:53:37Because guess what?
00:53:38We have a stunning newcomer in Claire D.
00:53:41And we all know how she skyrocketed to fame.
00:53:44Of course, by what?
00:53:46Drum roll, please.
00:53:48Yep, that's right.
00:53:49The Latour True Love Campaign.
00:53:51Shot by the one and only Anaïs Adler.
00:54:05That's right.
00:54:06The Latour True Love Campaign.
00:54:08Ladies and gentlemen, fans.
00:54:10Clarity is literally the personification of grace.
00:54:13And the chemistry in this shoot?
00:54:15Oh, my God.
00:54:17It was off, off, off, off the chain.
00:54:20And who on Earth is this stunning, faceless model with that sexy back?
00:54:26Yum, yum, yum, yum.
00:54:28I need more. I want more.
00:54:29I need so much more.
00:54:31I have literally been emailing Mr. Vincent Latour daily trying to get the big reveal.
00:54:36Dear Mr. Vincent Latour, here he, here he.
00:54:41You are the worst. I cannot stand you.
00:54:43And you are killing me with the suspense.
00:54:44Sincerely, Reginald.
00:54:47The couple embodies the timeless quality of true love.
00:54:50And we are honored and proud of the positive feedback that this campaign has generated.
00:54:56Now, of course, we all know Mr. Vincent Latour is going to make so much mucho dinero off this campaign.
00:55:03But friends, fans, we are only one week away from the Battle Royale, the top model competition.
00:55:11And guess what? Mr. Vince Latour is going to be a judge.
00:55:14So I might just have to flutter on over to him and ask him in person who this sexy back is.
00:55:20Because guess what, fans?
00:55:22That's right.
00:55:24George Truly has been tapped by the network to host the top model competition.
00:55:30Oh, my God.
00:55:32Oh, you like me.
00:55:34You really do like me.
00:55:35You really like me.
00:55:38You do.
00:55:43Who the fuck is this guy?
00:55:45I did everything in my power to make sure the male model would not show up so Claire would fall on her face.
00:55:50She always just lands on her feet.
00:55:55Looks like she's landing more than just on her feet.
00:55:58On a kitchen counter.
00:56:00In a hallway.
00:56:02On the stairs.
00:56:05Against a shower wall.
00:56:07Ava, get your mind out the gutter.
00:56:09That's not what you were telling me last night.
00:56:11We're talking about Claire here. She's not like you.
00:56:16Okay.
00:56:17Claire, she's such a saint, huh?
00:56:20The Vestal Virgin.
00:56:21If she's so special, then why didn't you knock her up instead?
00:56:26Oh, wait. I know why.
00:56:28Because Claire didn't like you that much.
00:56:31And now that she's with a guy that she actually likes, you can't handle it, can you?
00:56:39I don't think so.
00:56:41I'm not some meek bitch that's gonna stand for your shit.
00:56:44I am the only one that's gonna make sure that Claire doesn't win top model from inside the competition.
00:56:50Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
00:56:52You're not the only one.
00:56:54Who else do you have in your pocket?
00:56:56What aren't you telling me?
00:56:58Just stick to your plan to sabotage Claire.
00:57:01I'll handle mine.
00:57:02Fine.
00:57:03You keep your secrets, and I'll keep mine.
00:57:12We need to meet.
00:57:14It's too dangerous.
00:57:16The usual spot.
00:57:18Room 201? I'll be there.
00:57:24Hey, no peeking.
00:57:26Just like a little kid.
00:57:28It's a surprise.
00:57:30Just a few more steps.
00:57:33Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
00:57:35We can wait. You are my priority.
00:57:48You need the perfect armor for combat.
00:57:51That's such a guy thing to say.
00:57:54It's a modeling competition, not war.
00:57:56Make no mistake, Claire. It is war.
00:57:59And I'll be there for you.
00:58:02Oh, did I forget to mention Pinnacle is the network televising the event?
00:58:06You definitely did not mention that, no.
00:58:10I'm her wife, Claire. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:58:24You should choose your words more carefully.
00:58:27I don't take well to threats.
00:58:30Well, you should have thought about that before you failed so miserably.
00:58:34Let's not forget, I own you.
00:58:39I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in our-
00:58:46Wrinkle? You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense, not launch her into the stratosphere.
00:58:52Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
00:58:55And if you play your part, Claire will walk down that runway and crash and burn.
00:59:07Start talking.
00:59:10Here's what we do.
00:59:13I cannot wait to knock off that old battleaxe.
00:59:18Fall in the shower.
00:59:20A mix of medication-
00:59:22Alright, focus, Dylan.
00:59:24That will happen after you marry Claire.
00:59:28Now, I need you to go visit Bruno Lendi.
00:59:32Make sure he knows he won't be a judge this year.
00:59:36Convince him it's worth his while.
00:59:38And that old bat, you think she's up for it?
00:59:41She'll do it.
00:59:43Grace Winthrop has controlled that family for 50 years.
00:59:49No one has even stood up to her.
00:59:52Except Claire.
00:59:54She doesn't just want Claire back in the fold.
00:59:56She wants Claire under her.
01:00:01Just hold tight, Gavin. I'll let you know after I speak with Claire.
01:00:07Morning, hubby.
01:00:11I need you to sit down.
01:00:13What's wrong, Christian? You're scaring me.
01:00:16The head of production at Pinnacle noticed that you were in the office.
01:00:19I'm sorry.
01:00:21It's okay.
01:00:23It's okay.
01:00:25It's okay.
01:00:27It's okay.
01:00:29The head of production at Pinnacle noticed a judge change in the competition.
01:00:32I really need you to say this, Claire.
01:00:35Your grandmother is going to be one of the judges.
01:00:37What?
01:00:39That's not possible.
01:00:41She would never... There's been a mistake.
01:00:43She despises modeling.
01:00:45She hates that I became one.
01:00:47Why would she do this?
01:00:59My own grandmother is going to vote against me.
01:01:02I can't escape her.
01:01:04This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career, Claire.
01:01:10I had investigators looking at Dylan and Miranda.
01:01:12What do they have to do with this?
01:01:14Two years ago, Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy
01:01:18from a series of bad investments and poorly timed expansions.
01:01:22Muse and all of its subsidiaries were on the chopping block.
01:01:25Then, they received an influx of cash from a new, silent partner.
01:01:30Winthrop Limited?
01:01:32Yes.
01:01:33The terms of the deal were that Dylan and Miranda
01:01:36would do everything in their power to derail the future of a promising young model.
01:01:41You, Claire.
01:01:45So all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable...
01:01:50My own grandmother was behind all of it.
01:01:52Yeah, but you were more stubborn than they calculated.
01:01:55You never gave up, Claire.
01:01:57I saw her manage everyone in my family.
01:02:00My own parents were like sycophantic puppets in her grasp,
01:02:03but I never thought she'd go to such lengths to control me.
01:02:07It's like she doesn't see me as a real person, with needs and fears and dreams.
01:02:12That's her loss, Claire.
01:02:15I wonder if marrying Dylan was a part of her plan.
01:02:19I mean, she's tried to marry me off before.
01:02:22Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:02:26There she is.
01:02:32Okay, about that.
01:02:36About that.
01:02:37As if I'd marry someone she chose.
01:02:40Have you found anyone special?
01:02:43Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:02:47I don't believe that your grandmother would consider Dylan for you.
01:02:51That is Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
01:02:54Your grandmother never technically disinherited you.
01:02:57As her sole surviving heir, Dylan stood to come into billions after marrying you.
01:03:01Yeah, but my grandmother's still alive.
01:03:04Yes, there is that.
01:03:09I just want a fair competition, where I win or lose on my own merits.
01:03:14Not because the deck is stacked against me.
01:03:17Your grandmother's just one judge.
01:03:20There are three others.
01:03:28Hey, sexy.
01:03:45Claire, one more.
01:03:46One more, one more.
01:03:47Claire, right here.
01:03:48Claire, who's taking home the top model title tonight?
01:03:51You or even Bennett?
01:03:52Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
01:03:54There are ten models in this competition who got here through hard work and talent.
01:03:58This is a night to celebrate all of us.
01:04:00A time to honor...
01:04:07I can't escape her.
01:04:09This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career.
01:04:14That's all, folks.
01:04:15Miss Vaughn has a big night ahead of her.
01:04:17Thank you.
01:04:18Claire, one more.
01:04:19How do you know Christian Grass?
01:04:23I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:25I didn't expect it to be that hard, seeing her like this.
01:04:28Okay, hang tight, Claire.
01:04:29Gavin, help her.
01:04:30I'll go get her a wet towel.
01:04:33You want a water or something?
01:04:34Yes, thank you.
01:04:38Just try to relax.
01:04:45♪
01:04:50Check and see if anyone's inside, Simon.
01:05:03Alright, coast is clear.
01:05:04I gotta be back at the judging table in five minutes, so we gotta be quick.
01:05:09Then shut up and get busy.
01:05:12Gross.
01:05:13Yuck.
01:05:14Not again.
01:05:17Ava.
01:05:18Ava, you saucy minx.
01:05:19You're killing me.
01:05:21Show me sexy.
01:05:23That belly of yours.
01:05:25Oh, so yummy.
01:05:26That's my baby.
01:05:27Come to papa.
01:05:28Holy shit.
01:05:30No freaking way.
01:05:42♪
01:05:47Hey, Christian.
01:05:51You wouldn't believe what Ava's been up to.
01:05:53I'm listening.
01:05:56Not now.
01:05:57I don't want to distract Claire, but quite a bombshell.
01:06:02Can barely contain my excitement.
01:06:06Where are you sitting?
01:06:08Behind the judges, first row.
01:06:10Hey, wifey.
01:06:12You alright?
01:06:13Sure, hubby.
01:06:15The last remaining member of my family is here to ruin me, but I'm doing awesome.
01:06:19Breathe, Claire.
01:06:21You got this.
01:06:23If it gets to be too much, just find me in the crowd.
01:06:31Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 23rd Top Model Competition,

01:07:28The one, the only, Grace Winthrop of Winthrop Limited,
01:07:32the seven-generation dynasty of department stores.
01:07:46Suck it in, Mama. We're almost there.
01:07:49Sit back, Felix. Tighter.
01:07:51A masterpiece.
01:07:52Not yet. We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:08:02Leave it to me, Your Highness.
01:08:04Your baby's got you.
01:08:16Ow!
01:08:17What are you doing?
01:08:19Ow!
01:08:20What are you doing?
01:08:21You brute.
01:08:22I bent down to pick up my name tag.
01:08:24Are you security or shall I call security?
01:08:27Just get out of here.
01:08:32No.
01:08:33No!
01:08:36May the best bitch win, bitch.
01:08:39Don't listen to her.
01:08:44Next up is Ava Bennett,
01:08:46our reigning top contestant for the past three years.
01:08:49She slays harder than Santa,
01:08:50so watch out for those reindeer.
01:09:17Break a leg, Claire bear.
01:09:20Move!
01:09:21Fuck.
01:09:22Idiot.
01:09:24Next up is Claire Duval,
01:09:25whose meteoric rise in the industry
01:09:27has caught everyone off guard.
01:09:29Including me.
01:09:33Next up is Claire Duval,
01:09:34whose meteoric rise in the industry
01:09:36has caught everyone off guard.
01:09:38Next up is Claire Duvall, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:10:38Your girl's career imploded before we even took off.
01:10:41But you're making a fool of yourself.
01:10:44The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:10:48Ava is our top billing model.
01:10:50And you, Claire.
01:10:53I never really took off.
01:10:55You've lost everything.
01:10:57And you just don't know it yet.
01:11:02Come on, my love. Rise up and show them who you are.
01:11:06From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
01:11:12I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:11:35I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:12:05Get off me!
01:12:31Catch.
01:12:37Way to go, Claire. You've slayed her.
01:12:56And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:13:01Oh my god.
01:13:03Folks, we've just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:13:06Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:13:10A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:13:21What? Seriously? Clearly, the tour has something going on with Claire.
01:13:26Really, Ava?
01:13:27Because last I checked, you and George Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and whoops.
01:13:33There's a mini Blackwell on the way.
01:13:35Yep, she's expecting his baby.
01:13:38His baby? No, that's my baby.
01:13:43Hey, easy. Relax, man. Relax. Relax.
01:13:50Get a grip, both of you.
01:13:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:13:53Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:13:55We are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:13:59Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie,
01:14:02we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:14:06So, we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:14:08Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:14:13Mr. Cross, we'll now cast the tie-breaking vote.
01:14:17So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:14:26There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:14:35There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:14:44And that is Claire Duval.
01:14:54But I have a conflict of interest, because Claire Duval is not just a top model contestant.
01:15:01She's also my wife, Claire Duval Cross.
01:15:17Seriously? This is so unfair. Of course she gets it, but all I have is...
01:15:31She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:15:34Clue in, Dylan. We need to do damage control.
01:15:37Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this. We could lose everything.
01:15:41Detective, these two right here.
01:15:43What?
01:15:44Miranda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:15:48No, this is a mistake.
01:15:50Get your hands off me.
01:15:53Totally epic.
01:16:01Nicely done, my boy.
01:16:05What are you talking about?
01:16:07Are you going to tell her, Christian, or am I?
01:16:10Tell me what?
01:16:12See that man there? The one that's standing next to you? The one you wed?
01:16:17He was my choice for you. I set you up with him five years ago.
01:16:24To thank Claire all those years of defying me, and you ended up exactly where I wanted you.
01:16:36Is this true?
01:16:39Is this true?
01:16:43Yes.
01:16:45Look, that day outside the courthouse, that wasn't a setup.
01:16:48Then why hide the connection to my girlfriend?
01:16:51Then why hide the connection to my grandmother? Why the lies?
01:16:54Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:16:58How can I believe you?
01:17:00Because we're meant to be together.
01:17:04Because we're meant to be together.
01:17:08I've never seen a mom come on stage like you did up there.
01:17:11For a nobody.
01:17:12You're not a nobody.
01:17:14And we took their eyes off of you.
01:17:21These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
01:17:24But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
01:17:40This is real for me. Promise we'll never forget that.
01:17:45I promise.
01:17:49I promise.
01:17:52I promise.
01:17:54Whatever it is, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it, Christian, I'm all in.
01:18:08I'll wash my hands of both of you.
01:18:22You ready to meet my family?
01:18:27Hey fans, Reggie here.
01:18:29Big love to Bruno Lundy who is recovering from his coma.
01:18:32This is nuts! Bruno just got out of his coma!
01:18:36How can he remember his name? He can't even remember mine!
01:18:39Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan!
01:18:43I want my lawyer! Now!
01:18:45Meanwhile, Ava B has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:18:51Yeah, couldn't even say that with a straight face.
01:18:53We all know what she's doing for money, don't we?
01:18:57Shut up, baby!
01:19:00Now, let's get to the real big news. The crosses are expecting!
01:19:05That's right, you heard it here first.
01:19:07Claire D and Christian Cross are expecting a little mini cross!
01:19:11I'm so excited!
01:19:14So, you can expect it to be epic!
01:19:18Be sure to subscribe and tune in to Real Shorts, of course, with Reggie here,
