Done wrong by her ex-fiancé, a model finds revenge can be sweet if you have the right man by your side - it's payback time.

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

01:08:05Zip it, Felix. Tighter.
01:08:09A masterpiece.
01:08:10Not yet. We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:08:19Leave it to me, your highness. Your baby's got you.
01:08:33Ow! What are you doing?
01:08:34You brute. I bent down to pick up my name tag.
01:08:37Are you security or shall I call security?
01:08:40Just get out of here.
01:08:46No.
01:08:49May the best bitch win, bitch.
01:08:53Don't listen to her.
01:08:57Next up is Ava Bennett.
01:08:59Our reigning top contestant for the past three years.

01:09:53Next up is Claire Duval whose meteoric rise in the industry
01:09:56has caught everyone off guard.
01:10:13What are you doing?
01:10:36Come on, my love.
01:10:37Rise up and show them who you are.
01:10:44Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
01:10:46But you're making a fool of yourself.
01:10:49The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:10:53Ava is our top billing model.
01:10:55And you, Claire.
01:10:58It never really took off.
01:11:00You've lost everything.
01:11:02And you just don't know it yet.
01:11:04I'm sorry.
01:11:05I'm sorry.
01:11:06I'm sorry.
01:11:07I'm sorry.
01:11:08I'm sorry.
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:10I'm sorry.
01:11:11I'm sorry.
01:11:12I'm sorry.
01:11:15Come on, my love.
01:11:16Rise up and show them who you are.
01:11:20From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
01:11:26I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:11:42I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:12:13Yes.
01:12:39Paul!
01:12:42Get off me!
01:12:45Bitch!
01:12:51Way to go, Claire. You slay God.
01:12:53You slay God.
01:13:10And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:13:15Oh my God.
01:13:17Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:13:19Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:13:24A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:13:35What? Seriously? Clearly, the tour has something going on with Claire.
01:13:40Really, Ava? Because last I checked, you and Judge Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and...
01:13:46Whoops!
01:13:47There's a mini Blackwell on the way.
01:13:49Yep, she's expecting his baby.
01:13:52His baby? No, that's my baby.
01:13:57Easy. Relax, man. Relax. Relax.
01:14:04Get a grip, both of you.
01:14:05Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.
01:14:07Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:14:09We are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:14:14Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie, we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:14:20So, we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:14:23Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:14:36Mr. Cross, we'll now cast the tie-breaking vote.
01:14:41So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:14:50There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:14:58And that is Claire Duval.
01:15:01But I have a conflict of interest, because Claire Duval is not just a top model contestant.
01:15:09She's also my wife, Claire Duval Cross.
01:15:13Seriously? This is so unfair. Of course she gets it, but all I have is...
01:15:33I'm so sorry.
01:15:34I'm so sorry.
01:15:35I'm so sorry.
01:15:36I'm so sorry.
01:15:37I'm so sorry.
01:15:38I'm so sorry.
01:15:39I'm so sorry.
01:15:40I'm so sorry.
01:15:41I'm so sorry.
01:15:42I'm so sorry.
01:15:43I'm so sorry.
01:15:44I'm so sorry.
01:15:46She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:15:50Clue in, Dylan. We need to do damage control.
01:15:53Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this.
01:15:56We could lose everything.
01:15:57Detective, these two right here.
01:15:59What?
01:16:00Miranda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:16:04No, this is a mistake.
