00:02Shall I throw it away?
00:03No.
00:06That's mine!
00:10I'm sorry, your style doesn't fit our direction this season.
00:18Miss, you'd better protect your papers first.
00:21They're worth more than I am.
00:26Damn it!
00:30You'll be late for the meeting.
00:38Shall I throw it away?
00:39No.
00:42That's mine!
00:44Step back.
00:44Give it back.
00:49You drew this?
00:50What, you think it fell from the sky?
00:52Sir, shall I handle this?
00:54Why bird in a cage?
00:55Because some people say they admire you and all they really want is to lock you in their display case.
00:58Your name?
00:59You don't need to know.
00:59I'll know soon enough.
01:03Shall I find her?
01:04She wasn't asking for a chance.
01:06Find out who she is.
01:07And when we do?
01:08Bring her to me.
01:18This has to be a mistake.
01:20Noir Group?
01:21They don't discover people.
01:22They acquire assets.
01:24I'm barely making next week's rent.
01:25That's exactly when it gets dangerous.
01:27When something falls from the sky, someone usually dug a hole first.
01:32Then I'll at least go see how deep the hole is.
01:36Miss Chloe, Mr. Aiden is waiting for you.
01:39Welcome, Chloe.
01:40You know my name.
01:41I do now.
01:42You investigated me?
01:43I learn about people worth investing in.
01:45What do you want from me?
01:45You're not designing clothes.
01:46You're stitching humiliation, hunger, and survival into silhouettes.
01:49Others see roughness.
01:49I see a language that hasn't been allowed to exist yet.
01:51Studio, budget, sample team, launch opportunities.
01:55Revelta's 16-nose mental wet removerties you create.
01:57I handle the rest.
01:59Why me?
02:01Because everyone else was blind.
02:04We regret to inform you the project has been terminated in order.
02:06Our direction has changed, so we won't be moving forward.
02:07Due to budget reasons, the project is canceled.
02:12Project terminated.
02:14Everyone on the list has terminated contact.
02:16Good.
02:24These lines are vicious in the best way.
02:26It's like you've turned wounds into gowns.
02:28Can this really be made?
02:30If you dare to draw it, we dare to build it.
02:37The shoulders still aren't sharp enough.
02:38Bring it in.
02:39I want struggle, not aggression.
02:42Then tighten the waist more, like it's being strangled before it can breathe.
02:45Yes.
02:46That's it.
02:46Your luck is insane.
02:48Most people never get this kind of backing.
02:50Maybe it's not luck.
02:54Of course not.
02:55You're air just with muse.
02:56I'm not anyone's muse.
02:59Understood.
03:00Looks like you've moved into the fairy tale castle.
03:01At least no one here calls my work a psychotic breakdown.
03:03But have you asked yourself why him?
03:04And why this fast?
03:05The last executive who rejected Miss Chloe has been removed.
03:06What are you talking about?
03:07Public relations adjustments.
03:07Just making sure no one underestimates you again.
03:08What exactly did you do?
03:09I removed a few unnecessary obstacles from the path of someone valuable.
03:11That doesn't sound like support.
03:11It sounds like a purge.
03:18Once you sign, the project goes live today.
03:20I want to review it again.
03:21Of course.
03:22Though the primary terms were already explained yesterday.
03:24Don't sign.
03:25You can't just keep saying those two words.
03:26Fine.
03:26Capital doesn't perform miracles for free.
03:27Especially not a man like Aiden Noir.
03:28So what do you want me to do?
03:29Keep sending 20 emails a month and wait to be humiliated 30th time?
03:30I'm telling you give opportunity.
03:31I'm afraid you don't know what you're selling.
03:32Sometimes when you pour long enough, you open the door first and ask about the wolves later.
03:34If someone knows exactly what you need to hear, it's usually not an accident.
03:37Aiden's in his office.
03:38He asked me to tell you he'd like to see you.
03:40Marcus told you not to sign.
03:41Are you monitoring me?
03:41There are no secrets on this floor.
03:43You know, that line is not remotely romantic.
03:44I'm not here to be romantic with you.
03:45I'm here to tell you that you don't need to beg anyone anymore.
03:47I never begged.
03:47Of course you didn't.
03:47That's exactly what I admire about you.
03:48The world pushed you to the edge and you still refuse to kneel.
03:50I've studied every version of your sketches.
03:51You don't need charity.
03:51You need an opening.
03:52Others don't understand you.
03:53Others won't bet on you.
03:53I will.
03:54What if I fail?
03:54Then you fail on my platform, not outside their doors.
04:05I hope so.
04:06Pleasure doing business.
04:10Tonight's most anticipated emerging designer, Chloe Hart!
04:14Is it too late to regret this?
04:15Way too late, darling.
04:16You're already here.
04:18It's time.
04:27This isn't just a new designer.
04:28She's a blade entering the market.
04:29Interesting.
04:30So trauma wrapped in expensive fabric counts as fashion now?
04:32I remember you.
04:33You applied to my team.
04:34Your sketches look like a breakdown on paper.
04:37Roland, some people age into irrelevity.
04:39So this is your new toy?
04:40She's the one talent you'll never be good enough to sign.
04:42Tonight belongs to Chloe, not to outdated commentary.
04:45First time standing here?
04:46What do you want to say?
04:47Being underestimated is not the end.
04:48Who are you most grateful to?
04:49The first person who actually looked at my work.
04:54You can't do this to me!
04:55I'm an invited guest!
04:56Sir, you need to leave the backstage area.
04:57This isn't over!
04:59No one gets to hurt you tonight.
05:02This can make a cover.
05:03I guarantee it.
05:04You're the first person to say my work belongs on a cover.
05:07Sorry, you need to take this now.
05:09Hello?
05:09What?
05:10A flight tonight?
05:12Now?
05:13Sorry.
05:14The brand headquarters is transferring me overseas for a shoot immediately.
05:17But we still have work next week.
05:19Not anymore.
05:29This isn't coincidence.
05:31It's a systematic cleanup.
05:33We need to talk.
05:34You have 30 seconds.
05:36Every man getting close to Chloe is being pushed out.
05:37You want me to believe the universe is doing that?
05:39They're that easy to move.
05:39They weren't important to begin with.
05:40What is she to you?
05:41A private asset?
05:41Watch your words.
05:42No, you should.
05:42She's not a label you bought or a collectible you can lock away.
05:44Stay away from her.
05:45Is that a threat?
05:46It's advice.
05:47You'd be wise to treat it as courtesy.
05:57Is that what's trending Broome?
05:58Where is he?
05:59Can't reach him.
06:00His agency says he's suddenly unwell.
06:02The closing model gets sick one hour before the show?
06:04Perfect timing.
06:06We can adjust the lineup immediately.
06:07We can't.
06:08This piece is the entire ending of the collection.
06:10If you need someone, I'll do it.
06:12You walk the show yourself?
06:14This is your work.
06:15It shouldn't be ruined by someone who didn't show up.
06:17Do you even know what being the closer means?
06:18It means every eye in the room ends here.
06:24Go ahead.
06:25I don't usually dress my models myself.
06:27And I'm not your usual model.
06:30Don't look at me like that.
06:31Like what?
06:31Like you already know what I'm thinking.
06:33Maybe I do.
06:35You're taller than the fitting standard.
06:36I need to adjust the proportion.
06:37Then make it fit me.
06:39Ten minutes.
06:41It looks alive.
06:42No, you did.
06:43Miss Chloe, we got confirmation on the original model.
06:45What happened?
06:46He wasn't sick.
06:46He got bought out by another show.
06:47Someone already covered the penalty.
06:48Who paid it?
06:52I'm about to be crushed by my own success.
06:55Mr. Aiden canceled your three events tonight.
06:59I didn't ask him to.
07:00He said you needed room to breathe.
07:02No media tonight.
07:03No follow-up shoot.
07:04No after party.
07:04You always decide things for other people.
07:06Because you're too exhausted to take care of yourself right now.
07:09Sit.
07:11Don't you ever get tired?
07:12I do.
07:13Then why are you still here?
07:14Because you are.
07:16You know what scares me most?
07:17What?
07:17I'm starting to think maybe I misjudged you.
07:19Then don't sentence me too soon.
07:24You don't need to answer everyone right now.
07:25When I'm with you, the world gets quiet.
07:27Then stay where it's quiet.
07:30Okay.
07:33Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:41We still haven't traced the anonymous number.
07:43Find it.
07:47Tokyo.
07:48Long-term reassignment.
07:49Don't ask me anything else.
07:52Sorry, Chloe.
07:53I can't work with you right now.
07:53And I can't explain.
07:54Stay safe.
07:56So now you're finally ready to believe me.
07:59I got this.
08:00And Ben's gone.
08:01The buyer disappeared.
08:01Everything is starting to line up.
08:03I've been digging too.
08:04Say the name.
08:05Are you sure?
08:06Every one of these coincidences points to him.
08:07Not once.
08:08Not by accident.
08:08It's a pattern.
08:09Any man who gets too close to you gets moved, silenced, replaced, or erased.
08:11He's been helping me.
08:12Some people give you wings just to make sure you never fly beyond their ceiling.
08:14She met Marcus today.
08:15How long?
08:1627 minutes.
08:17Content?
08:17No audio yet.
08:18Too long.
08:26Listen to me.
08:26Don't see him alone from now on.
08:27Do you know more than you're saying?
08:28I know enough to want to get you out now.
08:31Who's there?
08:32Miss Chloe, Mr. Aiden is waiting for you.
08:35Marcus, you were right.
08:36Mr. Aiden wants to see you.
08:38Now?
08:38Now.
08:40You've been avoiding me.
08:41I've been wondering how much of my life you've arranged for me.
08:43If you mean work, I'm making sure everything runs smoothly.
08:45What about my life?
08:46My friends?
08:47The people around me?
08:47Someone's been talking to you.
08:49So the problem isn't that I'm scared.
08:51The problem is someone spoke before you did.
08:53What exactly do you want to explain?
08:56You've been under too much strain.
08:57Stop calling control concern.
08:58I'm not controlling you.
08:59My photographer gets reassigned, a buyer vanishes, Marcus gets warned, and that's not control?
09:01I'm protecting you.
09:02From whom?
09:03From everyone who would drain you, use you, or misunderstand you.
09:06Who gave you the right to decide who gets to stay in my life?
09:07Because they don't see your worth.
09:08I do.
09:09That's not love.
09:10I didn't say it was.
09:10Do you realize your kindness feels like a chain now?
09:12If a chain keeps you somewhere safe, then it has value.
09:15It's late.
09:16I'll have the driver take you home.
09:18Just got home.
09:19Where are you?
09:20Check your lock and cameras.
09:21Why would you say that?
09:23Because if he uses protection as an excuse, he won't stop at your work.
09:27What happened?
09:28My door code has been changed.
09:41Chloe, how do you feel right now?
09:42Like I finally stepped into a place I always belonged.
09:47People say she's the one you personally placed on the throne.
09:49Do you agree?
09:50I simply made the world see the brilliance that was already there.
09:57I've been dying to shoot your next collection.
09:58Please send all collaboration requests to the official email.
10:01Are people not even allowed to hand me a card anymore in person?
10:03It's for the best.
10:04It's for efficiency.
10:05Or control.
10:08Before Milan, no variables should exist.
10:11Fuck.
10:15You were excellent today.
10:16I don't need to be graded.
10:17After Milan, you'll have your own global line.
10:19And the condition?
10:19Stay where you belong.
10:21Taking photos without permission is a bad habit.
10:23Looks like I caught something I wasn't supposed to see.
10:24You always overestimate what you can change.
10:36I need Noir's legal and crisis management records from the past five years.
10:39Are you insane?
10:39Nobody touches that company.
10:48Are you protecting yourself from me?
10:50I'm organizing my files.
10:52You didn't used to tense up when I walked in?
10:55People change.
10:56Or did someone change the way you look at me?
10:58If I were protecting myself from you, what would you do?
10:59I'd find a way to make sure you never have to be afraid.
11:03If this is real, this goes way beyond business pressure.
11:06I need a chain of evidence.
11:07Can you help me?
11:08Hmm.
11:11Hello?
11:12Sorry, I can't do this.
11:13Why?
11:13Someone already knows I'm meeting you.
11:15She backed up all her original drafts today.
11:17Copies are not the originals.
11:18Shall we handle it?
11:19Not yet.
11:22We are live in three minutes.
11:23What if they hate it?
11:24Then make them hate it so much they can't look away.
11:41Your Milan debut is a triumph.
11:43Who do you most want to hold right now?
11:44The person who understood my work before anyone else did.
11:48You were extraordinary tonight.
11:50I should be happy, but I don't know why it still feels borrowed.
11:52Then let me tell you.
11:53It was always yours.
11:59Sorry to call this lady.
12:00We're entering bankruptcy liquidation tomorrow.
12:02All orders are canceled.
12:03What?
12:03Last week you said your finances were stable.
12:05Someone doesn't want us working with you.
12:12Did you know about this?
12:21The problem is here.
12:25Inpertuity?
12:25Yes.
12:26In theory, any future collection derived from your current design language could also be claimed under this agreement.
12:29That's not support.
12:30That's acquisition.
12:30Worse, the integration between the signature page and appendix is clean.
12:32It's not automatically void.
12:33We need to attack procedural defects or information deceminatory.
12:35Now you believe me?
12:37I believe too late.
12:38If you want to fight this, I can take the case.
12:42Do we have a strategy?
12:44Miss Chloe, I'm sorry, but we won't be representing your case.
12:47Why?
12:47Based on internal risk assessment, we've decided to withdraw.
12:50Noir contacted you, didn't they?
12:52We wish you the best.
12:55You've been avoiding me since Milan.
12:57What remarkable timing.
12:58You tell me, what is this?
12:58So you finally saw it?
12:59You knew.
13:00Of course.
13:00And you watched me sign it?
13:01Yes.
13:01What am I to you?
13:02You are a future I do not intend to lose.
13:03I'm taking my name back.
13:04From now on, she'll be harder to contain.
13:06Should we escalate?
13:06Have that law firm issue a formal withdrawal statement tomorrow.
13:10I want to terminate the agreement.
13:13Are you sure?
13:14Completely.
13:15Under the agreement, voluntary termination would trigger massive damages, project losses,
13:18projected earnings, and global marketing costs.
13:20300 million.
13:22This is the choice you're giving me?
13:24You're not giving me a choice.
13:25You're forcing me to stay.
13:26I'm stopping you from making an impulsive decision that will ruin you.
13:30You are what's ruining me.
13:31Without me, you'd still be begging strangers to look at your sketches.
13:33Better that than being bought by you.
13:35I can give you bigger shows, larger budgets, a sub-label of your own,
13:38global campaigns, everything you want I can provide.
13:41And the condition?
13:42Stay with me.
13:44You can't walk away from the system?
13:47I'm sorry.
13:47Your account is currently under temporary review and restrictions.
13:50What review?
13:50The system flagged unusual fund activity for review.
13:53Who initiated it?
13:53I'm sorry.
13:54We can't disclose that.
13:56What happened?
13:56My personal account is frozen.
13:58He's moving beyond work now.
14:00He says he's protecting me.
14:02Stop trying to solve this alone.
14:09Hello, Ms. Chloe.
14:10I'm your new project assistant.
14:11Where is my previous assistant?
14:13She's been reassigned to the Europe project team.
14:15Who made that decision?
14:16Efficiency or a purge?
14:18We optimize the team for efficiency.
14:20Your photography team has been absorbed into the group's image department effective today.
14:24Your styling consultant has also been replaced.
14:29You too?
14:30It's not that I want to.
14:30I have to.
14:31Why?
14:31Once the group decides a collaboration is non-essential, it no longer exists.
14:34In their eyes, what's necessary now?
14:35Only you and the wall built around you.
14:38Please.
14:44I heard you had a difficult day.
14:46You heard?
14:46You did this.
14:48Is this a gift or a warning?
14:50A reminder.
14:51A reminder of what?
14:52That others will leave, use you, or betray you.
14:53I won't.
14:54You're wrong.
14:54About what?
14:55I would rather lose everyone than be left with only you.
15:02So, from the very beginning...
15:04From the beginning.
15:04The people who rejected you, gone.
15:06The people who humiliated you, gone.
15:08The people who got close to you, gone too.
15:12Including you.
15:13I'm probably the last one he hasn't fully removed yet.
15:16What do I do now?
15:17First, survive getting out of his system.
15:19Then we figure out how to take back your name.
15:21What if something happens to you, too?
15:23Then you release everything I found.
15:29I put copies in the cloud and on an offline drive.
15:34Marcus!
15:36Help!
15:37Help!
15:38Somebody help!
15:41The drive.
15:42Don't trust.
15:49What happened?
15:50You tell me.
15:56He's in critical condition.
15:57We don't have a readable plate.
15:58The camera's only captured fragments.
16:00How does a parking structure suddenly fail to capture a plate?
16:02Some angles were obstructed by signage.
16:11Are you satisfied now?
16:14I didn't do this.
16:15You removed everyone around me.
16:16And now my last friend is in surgery.
16:17You still expect me to believe you?
16:18I would never hurt you.
16:19But you'll hurt everyone who gets close to me.
16:22I used to think you were just obsessive.
16:24Now I know you don't understand boundaries at all.
16:27Don't touch me.
16:31We got him through for now, but he's not out of danger yet.
16:40Now, I'm all you have left.
16:50You shouldn't be up here alone.
16:52That sounds ironic coming from you.
16:54Ask whatever you want.
16:57Did you remove those people one by one?
17:02Yes.
17:03Why?
17:04Because I didn't want anyone else taking your attention away.
17:05So you sabotaged my work, cut off my friends, locked up my name, just so I'd look at you?
17:10I gave you the whole world.
17:11Not the world.
17:12A wall.
17:14I only wanted your world to contain what truly mattered.
17:17And that thing was you.
17:18Yes.
17:22Fine.
17:22Fine.
17:23You win.
17:26Chloe.
17:26I'll continue the partnership.
17:28Really?
17:29Since you want me to look only at you that badly, then I'll look at you.
17:35You wanted my world.
17:38Then I'll destroy the part you thought you already owned.
17:47You're willing to release this version to the group Ateria?
17:50Of course.
17:53Dinner tonight?
17:55Yes.
17:59You're different tonight.
18:01Maybe I'm just tired of running into walls.
18:03It would have been easier if you'd done this sooner.
18:05Yes.
18:20You want the obedient Chloe?
18:22Then I'll perform her for you.
18:24Table condition.
18:25Acknowledges.
18:30Did you sleep well last night?
18:31Very well.
18:32I like you like this.
18:34You'll like me even more.
18:47Not a plea.
18:48A verdict.
18:50Look 1.
18:50Corsetry shaped like a gift ribbon but lined with hidden seams.
18:53Look 2.
18:54Feathers not as lightness, but as the pain left after plucking.
19:00Pull every feed from B3 in the east deconditioned corridor.
19:03Wasn't that section deconditioned?
19:04Not anymore.
19:07This isn't your best work.
19:10But it's safe enough.
19:11I don't want safe.
19:12But you've always wanted control.
19:21She's preparing another show.
19:26She's hiding it from me.
19:27For the first time, she's turned fear into a weapon.
19:35You're awake.
19:36Don't get emotional too fast.
19:37I currently feel like I got run over by a truck.
19:38What about the drive?
19:39Old photo studio locker 17.
19:40The code is the date your first submission got rejected.
19:42Why are you helping me this for?
19:43Because someone has to remind you that you are not anyone's trophy.
19:57Because some of us stayed beside him too long and finally realized it wasn't loyalty.
20:04She found the loophole.
20:05What loophole?
20:06The attachment upload timeline is later than her signature time.
20:08That may establish a disclosure dispute.
20:10Who gave her access?
20:31Chloe, will there be a major announcement tonight?
20:35Yes.
20:36About your post-Milan contract?
20:37About the truth.
20:43Lock down her backstage movement.
20:48Chloe will join you for the closing appearance.
20:54You look like you're preparing for war tonight.
20:56Maybe I'm finally ready to say what should have been said a long time ago.
20:59Don't ruin tonight.
21:00Ruin tonight?
21:01Or ruin you?
21:0710, 9, 8.
21:12Please welcome Noir Group CEO Aiden Black.
21:17And tonight's brightest designer, Chloe Hart.
21:28Are those copyright records?
21:30Don't cut the feed.
21:32Cut the backup port now.
21:33We can't.
21:34They're running a dual relay.
21:40These designs have been mine from the very first sketch.
21:43I was funded, packaged, and elevated.
21:45But the price was my name, my rights, and my freedom.
21:48The people who rejected me, humiliated me, or got close to me did not disappear by coincidence.
21:52I was not loved.
21:53I was kept.
21:59Are you sure you want to betray me like this?
22:01Betrayal?
22:02The real betrayal is turning someone's gift into a cage.
22:05And you're going to let him get away with this?
22:08He's not helping you.
22:09He's keeping you.
22:14He's keeping you.
22:23He's keeping you.
22:31This is not a fashion show.
22:32This is an indictment on a runway.
22:34Each piece is not a cry, but a testimony.
22:37It's already bad enough.
22:38Going up there now will make it worse.
22:48This is my real name.
22:49This is my real work.
22:51No one gets to define them for me again.
22:59Stop this.
23:03Didn't you always love watching me shine?
23:06I said stop up!
23:14Global live stream disaster.
23:15PR collapse.
23:16Rooftop show igniting a second wave.
23:18How much further are you planning to drag this company down?
23:22We need separation.
23:27Separate from whom?
23:27From her?
23:28Or from you?
23:29She is Noir's most valuable asset.
23:31She's not an asset.
23:32She's the one holding the match!
23:37Let her go.
23:38You think I've lost too?
23:39If you still don't let go, you'll destroy more than the company.
23:42I put her at the highest place, Mr. Meves.
23:44But you never let her stand there by herself.
23:53A cage built in the name of love is still a cage.
24:12Sit.
24:14What are you playing now?
24:15I used to believe I was saving you.
24:17And then?
24:19Then I finally realized I had trapped you in a room only I could unlock.
24:22All copyrights.
24:23All brand control.
24:24All derivative rights.
24:25I brought everything.
24:29So now you plan to be the good man?
24:32No.
24:34I didn't love you.
24:35I was sick and I mistook that sickness for love.
24:39I once thought this was proof I could keep you.
24:42Now I know it only proves I didn't deserve a second of your trust.
24:49You're letting go now.
24:50Is it for me?
24:51Or to keep seeing yourself as noble?
24:59The year my mother died, I didn't learn how to grieve.
25:03I learned that if I held on tightly enough, I would never lose anyone again.
25:07So you turn control into safety.
25:08And possession into love.
25:14Your independent label has completed preliminary registration.
25:19It's finally mine.
25:27Received.
25:30What are you most afraid of now?
25:33That she may never need me again.
25:35Then the first thing you need to learn is to accept that this may happen.
25:58Two minutes to show time.
26:04She's transformed completely.
26:28Chloe, what is the greatest meaning of tonight for you?
26:30It's not returning to the tow-way.
26:31It's finally knowing I could build the runway myself.
26:47Everyone wants to see you tonight.
26:51I can wait.
26:58The show is over.
27:04I know.
27:05Then why are you still here?
27:10Because I wanted to make sure I didn't disturb it this time.
27:13Is the therapy helping?
27:15I've learned at least one thing.
27:17What?
27:17Love is not keeping someone.
27:19It's not dragging her back even when she walks away.
27:22Okay, lights out.
27:24Congratulations.
27:27Miss Chloe?
27:27Okay.
