00:04Trust me, you'll feel something you've never felt before.
00:24I never knew passion would feel this for real.
00:45Again, tonight's our anniversary.
00:48No, I can't keep waiting for him like this.
01:03I believe everyone should enjoy the pleasure of sex equally, regardless of their gender or whether they are same.
01:10Pleasure? Yeah, right. We've barely even touched in three years. So much for pleasure.
01:33Good evening, Mr. Colgrove.
01:39This must be Henry's office.
01:50Tonight, no one's going to be able to say no to me.
01:57Honey, I want you.
01:59Right now.
02:04Wow, this is a surprise.
02:11How did you know that?
02:13Please.
02:14Supermarket clerk, waitress.
02:16Cleaner?
02:17You have a design degree, remember?
02:20Are you stalking me?
02:23Your senior project.
02:25It was actually impressive.
02:28That was years ago.
02:30Doesn't even matter now.
02:33Besides, nobody even wants me for the jobs that you just mocked.
02:36Don't spiral on your own, okay?
02:39Call me.
02:40And what?
02:40You'll magically fix my life.
02:42Because if you're hinting at my personal assistant type of boss, forget it.
02:47I should have thought of this earlier.
02:50I passed your resume and senior project to my buddy's design studio.
02:55And he said, you can come by and give it a shot.
03:00Wait.
03:01Seriously?
03:03Tomorrow.
03:042pm.
03:05I'll pick you up.
03:07I'll be there.
03:24Thank you, really.
03:26For everything.
03:27Can't wait to see your performance tomorrow.
03:37Shall we go to the conference room?
03:40Surprise.
03:53Oh, you must be Serena.
03:55I'm sorry about Veronica.
03:57She gets a little too excited when a Verillion shows up.
04:00But come on in.
04:00Don't be shy.
04:04So you have a design degree from Parsons.
04:07You quit fashion to become a full-time wife.
04:09You didn't stay in that lane.
04:11Yeah, that's right.
04:12But I never gave up on design.
04:14Here are some of my recent works.
04:15I would love for you to take a look.
04:17Of course.
04:22Felix.
04:23Do you want coffee?
04:24Maybe your favorite.
04:27Espresso.
04:27No sugar.
04:28Hmm?
04:35You didn't tell me she was going to be here.
04:37When I told her you would be, she insisted.
04:43Anyway, she'll be working with Serena if all of this goes through.
04:47So, yeah.
04:48Good time to meet as any, I guess.
04:55These are good.
04:57Very good.
04:58You've got an eye, Serena.
05:00I'm glad you didn't quit.
05:04You sure know how to pick people.
05:15After seeing your portfolio, I think we can skip a few steps.
05:18No need to start as an intern.
05:20Really solid.
05:23I've always loved working with organza.
05:25Kind of became my thing.
05:31Felix, do you remember your final project?
05:33The one that nearly gave up for zero heart attack?
05:37Hi.
05:39You know, if you hadn't quit back then, I think the fashion world would already know your name.
05:44I used to think I knew what mattered back then.
05:47Turned out I was wrong.
05:49Better late than never.
05:50If you're free, why don't you start on Monday?
05:53Yes.
05:54Absolutely.
05:54I would love to.
05:56Wonderful.
05:58So, that's it.
05:59Felix, what are you doing later?
06:01Do you want to grab food at this new place near your bar?
06:05Uh, we're, um, we're swamped.
06:23Got blinds after this?
06:24I thought you were busy.
06:26For you?
06:28I'm never even busy.
06:29Alright.
06:31What do you have in mind?
06:35Yes.
06:41Welcome, Mr. Callgrove.
06:42The pieces you selected are ready.
06:44Right this way.
06:51You're very lucky, miss.
06:53This piece just debuted last week.
06:56It's not even on sale yet.

07:04Is that really me?
07:11You are gorgeous.
07:21Someone can see us.
07:26Mr. Callgrove?

23:35really look at her the queen wears her crown with grace
23:42and even if she feels that that might be heavier than she expected the responsibilities the weight of the world
23:49she feels the pressure the doubt the failure the fear she remembers that her power has always
23:58been something the world can never give her or take away from her but that it was
24:03always inside of her waiting for her to trust it and you my prize
24:14our queen

33:22you don't need to
33:24she works in a studio right yeah public desks shared printers the moment she walks away

34:52that's impossible i never showed anyone
34:54i wish it were a coincidence but it's too similar did your computer ever leave your site no
35:01william i am so sorry did i just ruin everything well guess that's what happens when you're careless
35:11guess it's over enough we need to fix this not point fingers
35:25i need you stay where you are i'm on my way
35:34maybe henry was right all i ever do is drag people down
35:40i'm useless hey look at me what's stolen from you doesn't define you
35:47either your values here and nothing no one can take that from you
35:55enough with the pep talk lovebirds have you got anything
36:05son of a
36:06bitch i'll call it please
36:12it's him again
36:17i'll go find henry i don't care what it takes
36:22i thought once i left home
36:25started over
36:27i could finally escape my past
36:33some people are like leeches
36:35they cling on until there's nothing left to drain
36:39but this time i won't let him near you again
36:45i don't know what i would do without you
36:54yeah sir we found henry abandoned factory on the outskirts
36:58he's been handed over to the police confessed to everything the rival company's copycat stunt
37:04won't hold up anymore
37:06good work get some rest
37:12i can never thank you enough
37:26oh relax
37:29i'm not blaming you
37:30but honestly your designs seem a little budget
37:35it's probably why people find them so easy to copy
37:39maybe next time you can make them a bit more original okay
37:44hey i'm just saying don't take it so personally
37:49i like your work
37:51we've got a problem a big one check your phones now
37:57oh my god
37:59don't do anything yet
38:00i'm on my way to meet the organizers
38:08why why does this keep happening to me
38:14the media storm's gotten worse
38:15the organizers were ready to kick us out but i begged for time
38:20so now we've got 24 hours to come up with a brand new design and a solid explanation
38:26and then we're still in the game
38:31it's obvious someone's targeting us
38:34honestly the smarter move might just be to pull out now studio is stable enough
38:39we can regroup once we know who's behind this
38:42fine by me who knows what they're gonna pull next maybe maybe they'll kidnap us and ask for ransom
38:51we can't give up now we still have 24 hours give me the time and i will get a new
38:55design to you
38:58all right just don't burn yourself out no one will mind if you can't finish
39:03okay wait you can't be serious you're actually gonna let her do it veronica now is the time for
39:10action not sarcasm i understand you're upset
39:21looks like you've got everything under control in case i'm not needed
39:34who said that
39:36so you two are a thing now yeah yeah
39:55i know what i said but i don't know what to do anymore
40:01the more i drew the less confident i felt and the less confident i felt the more i drew
40:08now i don't even know what i want remember that night the lace the
40:15the fire in your eyes the time you yelled at me for pushing you too hard that's the kind of
40:21courage i'm talking about if you can bring that back that honesty that raw emotion nothing else matters
40:49i know it now i know what i'm gonna make
41:01so
41:12when

46:03The final draft's still with her.
46:25Look at you.
46:26All dressed up like some kind of phoenix.
46:29Are you gonna rise from the ashes, huh?
46:33Is this your rebirth?
46:35I can't believe you actually think
46:38Felix gives a damn about you.
46:41I mean, even for you, that's pretty pathetic.
46:44You know he's just gonna throw you to the curb
46:46like the trash you are!
46:49Veronica told me, Veronica said,
46:51that once he gets bored,
46:52he just throws them away like I do!
46:55Do you know why?
46:56Because you are nothing but a worthless,
47:00washed up housewife!
47:03Henry, is the only thing you're good at screaming?
47:07You just keep repeating the same crap.
47:11Who are you trying to convince?
47:12Me or yourself?
47:14What did you just say?
47:15I said, you're pathetic!
47:18You're a loser!
47:19The only way you think you can win is by using violence!
47:23Just like you have been.
47:24Shut up!
47:25You stupid bitch!
47:27Say it again, huh?
47:29You think that putting on some fucking lace
47:31and sketching some shitty drawings
47:34makes you anything other than you are?!
47:37You're trash!
47:39And you will never be better than me!
47:48I know exactly who I am.
47:50But you, you're a loser.
47:53You stole my work, you threw me out,
47:57and then now you're kidnapping me
47:58because you just can't stand the thought
48:00that maybe you're better off without me.
48:04Oh, sweetheart.
48:06I'll show you better off.
48:18Been wanting to do that for a long time.
48:35It's over.
48:37I'm sorry I was late.
48:39The dress.
48:39It's ruined again.
48:49Where are we going?
48:51The hospital.
48:53What?
48:53No, I'm going to that presentation.
48:55You're hurt.
48:56I'm taking you to the doctor's.
48:59I don't know what I would do
49:00if I let anything happen to me.
49:04But I need to show them
49:06that I can't be broken.
49:08And I need to take back everything that's mine.
49:16Excuse me?
49:18When is the designer supposed to get here?
49:20Veronica said that she was some kind of prodigy.
49:22That's why we're here.
49:23But she's not even famous yet
49:25and she's already pulling diva moves.
49:27No.
49:27Uh, no.
49:29She'll be here any minute, I'm sure of it.
49:32I told you she's awake.
49:34Good thing that I came prepared.
49:37Well, it's not as strong as Serena's design, but...
49:41Wait!
49:42Wait.
49:42Um, due to some unexpected circumstances,
49:46I will be presenting on behalf of the studio.
49:48My design is titled a...
49:54Shows over, Veronica.
49:57Sorry I'm late, everybody.
50:00Tonight I went through a very real kind of metamorphosis.
50:04My piece is titled...
50:08Metamorphosis.
50:09It started as a reflection of my longing for freedom.
50:13For breaking away from my past.
50:16But tonight I understood that on a much, much deeper level.
50:20Breaking the cocoon isn't just about overcoming what the world puts on you.
50:25It's about breaking away from the fear inside you.
50:30The doubt.
50:32And sometimes that process can be messy, painful, and...
50:38Can even leave wounds.
50:42But as long as that fire inside of you stays alive, no chain can hold you.
50:49This hand was once tied down, but tonight it stands here showing you my work.
50:55And showing the world...
50:57That I am free.
51:06I'm so glad for having you.
51:07To be honest, we've seen lots of pieces tonight.
51:10But your story and the way you told it really hit us.
51:13And it aligns exactly with our brand.
51:16Unbelievable.
51:17Amazing.
51:22Thank you, everyone, for being here tonight.
51:25The reporters, the media, and our clients, of course, supporting Serena and her work.
51:32And I believe you all deserve to know the real reason we were late tonight.
51:38It was Veronica.
51:39She paid me to get people to grab Serena and keep her from coming to the event.
51:43She said as long as Serena didn't show up, she'd get the spot on stage.
51:47That the opportunity should be hers.
51:49She made me do everything.
51:50This is lies.
51:52This is lies, okay?
51:52This is slander!
51:54Felix, you're faking evidence for her and...
51:57Security!
51:58No!
51:59No!
52:00No!
52:02It's not you, okay?
52:09Are you alright?
52:11Do you need a hospital?
52:14Anyone?
52:18I'm sorry for everything you've been through.
52:42I'm sorry for everything you've been through.
52:53I'm sorry for everything you've been through and you've been through.
52:55It's not you about me.
52:55You don't see me?
52:56If I start...
52:58I might not start you.
53:02I finally felt you.
53:04True pleasure.
53:07Satisfaction.
53:22Good morning, Sleepy Beauty.
53:24Good morning.
53:29Oh my god, it's almost two in the afternoon.
53:31I'm late for work.
53:32Oh, relax.
53:34William called earlier.
53:35Everyone's off today.
53:36He said we're going to celebrate tonight at the bar.
53:41Well, you should have said that sooner.
53:47We actually did it.
53:50No.
53:52You did it.
53:57No.
53:59We did it.
54:00I couldn't have gotten this far without you.
54:19Then, Miss Serena, would you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me?
54:31Yes.
54:32Yes, I will.
54:34Yes.
54:36Yes, I will.
54:40Yes, I will.
