- I've got your mail! = Thank you.
You've been invited to Paris!
The "Prochitute" wants you for an exclusive portait; they're doing a column on junior-designers.
Rebecca, that's fantastic! I guess they just didn't have a choice after the success you had with your dress at the fashion show.
So you really want to take your chances at pretending Kate's dress was yours?!
You can't do that! It's theft and if you do this, you'll never be able to look in the mirror, again!
If I don't do it, I'll be looked upon as a failure!
- Yeah, that's great! = Shall I book your flight?
- Martha can take care of that. = Martha?!
Right, sorry, we haven't told you, yet...uhm... Juri and I have decided to swap assistants.
- Excuse me?! = Yeah, Martha was appointed to me and you'll be supporting Juri.
Did I do anything wrong?
Is this some sort of punishment for taking a few days off to see my father in the hospital?!
No! Of course not!
So it's because of the warning I got from Juri the other day.
No. It's just, Juri and I were thinking it would be nice for you two to get to know various ways of working.
Ways of working?! Rebecca, the guy is never around!
I'd say you talk about this with Martha and the two of you can do a handover, okay?
Great...
Kim, I really don't have time for your childishness, right now, okay? Talk to Martha!
What about Paris?
I assume you will take Martha with you instead of me.
Kim, I'm not even sure whether I will accept the invitation, yet.
Okay. I guess, I won't be needed around here anymore, then.
Have you still got a headache?
You haven't been using your night guard, lately. Last night, you crunched a lot.
= Sorry. - I don't mean it like that! Just remember that it's the reason for your headaches.
I got an invitation for Paris. A fashion magazine wants to do a portait on me.
That's great!
= They want me because they're so fascinated with the final dress. - Oh.
Yeah. It's bad enough Tanja presented the dress as mine at the fashion show...I can't let people celebrate me for that now!
Just cancel the trip then!
How would I explain that to Sebastian? He would wonder why I didn't take the chance of free PR.
Just be honest with him.
Talk to him and tell him the dress isn't yours. Tell him that Tanja 1 went behind your back and presented the dress as yours!
It's not as easy as you think.
Yes, it is!
They're not going to interview you for a single dress only!
Rebecca, you are a fantastic designer, which is what you can prove to those people!
Is there anything I should know about Rebecca?
Jesus, Kim! I know, I slept with your husband.
I've already told you a thousand times how, sorry I am! I can't do more than that!
You know, I don't even want you to forgive me, I just want us to be...here in this setting...
can we be professional?
Wow! What a speech!
Rebecca is going to fly to Paris for two days. You have to have the dates confirmed and book a flight for her.
Where will she stay?
At the "Posse-a-Bonne's"...that's where she stays every time she goes to Paris.
Thank you.
There. Here you are!
= What's that? - Your flight booking and your reservation.
= Yes, just put it on the table. - Yes.
So...what are you working on, right now?
I don't wanna go to Paris empty-handed.
Oh, that's rather last-minute, isn't it? I thought the interview was going to be about your current collection?
I just want to prove to them I can do better.
Sure. That must be difficult, though.
Your final dress was incredible!
It's hard to top that!
= You made the designs, of course, though, so if anyone can top them, it's you! - Exactly.
= Anyways, your flight is in two days. You'll stay at the "Posse-a-Bonne". - Sorry, what?!
= Uhm, your flight is in two days and you'll stay at the... - That's a total flophouse! How come you thought I'd be staying there?!
= Uhm... - Cancel that, please, okay? I'll stay at the "Feu-du-Ronce".
Next time, just ask Kim, she knows at which hotels I usually stay, okay?!
Yes. Sorry. I'll do that.
= Uhm... - Something else?
Yes, I have to get off a bit early, this afternoon. The christening of Maximilian.
Oh, right, I wanted to go there, too, yet...no chance.
I just heard.
Congratulations! An exclusive interview for the "Prochitute"! That's perfect for LCL in terms of PR! So I've been told...
- Thanks. = What's up, you're not even happy.
Yes, I am.
Yeah, I know, you don't like being the center of attention, but I believe you can be really proud!
You can say what you like about Juri, yet, you and your designs, you are the perfect poster child for LCL!
Apart from that, it couldn't be a better time, as we're going to have a lot of restructuring coming up, so we are in dire need of good PR.
You've done me a favour.
I'm glad I can help you.
You can really help me...
Mrs. Wolf has given me this file.
What is it?
It's all candidates for Tanja's succession.
It would be great if we went through them, together, as...
to be honest, I have no idea who these people are.
So, it's a done deal, Tanja's leaving?
Absolutely.
She's shot her bolt with Ansgar. In a few weeks, she'll be gone forever. Just see me in my office when you're done here, okay?
Sure.
So this is Sebastian's new style! He let's a third-class designer pick the new leader of LCL?
Look, I don't want to get involved in this.
Apparently, you do!
Sebastian is going to choose your successor, he just wanted my opinion.
It looks like Sebastian really values your opinion.
Tanja, what do you want?
I want to make a suggestion. You take the file back to Sebastian and tell him you think none of the candidates are suitable for the job.
Then you gonna advise him to keep me on.
You're not serious!
You'll never get away with that.
I'm sure you're going to be very convincing.
If not, I will go to Sebastian myself and tell him the beautiful final dress that was so successful for LCL, wasn't actually made by you but by a different designer.
Tanja, you presented the dress at the show, against my will!
Yet, you didn't say anything when everyone applauded you for it.
You won't get away with this!
We'll see about that.
I could suggest to Sebastian that his headhunter should look for a new head designer, as well.
If you ask me, Lahnstein is not going to let anyone throw her out. I can smell trouble.
Do you guys actually work, now and then, or are you just being paid for gossipping?
What are you doing down here, anyways?!
If I catch you one more time, you'll be in serious trouble, understood?!
Yes, Mrs. von Lahnstein.
I'm afraid, I don't think anyone of the candidates is suitable to be the manager of LCL.
They are the best people available, right now.
None of them knows the company, though.
What are you getting at?
I know it's difficult with Tanja.
Yet, she embodies LCL and she's brought the company to where it is right now.
I know what would happen, if she left.
Are you telling me I should keep Tanja on?
It would be best for the company.
- You wanted to hear my opinion. = You cannot be serious!
Rebecca, what's wrong with you?! You've agreed to my decision the entire time!
Well, I changed my mind!
I have to look at this from a fashion angle, and it's undeniable that Tanja has a name! A very good name, in fact.
What does she have on you?
With what does she pressure you?
I don't know what you mean.
Come on, Rebecca! Stop that! I've known you since you were a baby. I can tell when you're lying.
Well?
The final dress that was shown at the show wasn't mine.
Briefly speaking, I stole it from an unknown designer and couldn't prevent it from being shown.
Tanja knows, and you can imagine how, with that knowledge, she can completely ruin me.
When would you have told me?
If Tanja hadn't blackmailed you?
Never.
Believe me, I'm not proud of this! It was the only way I could keep my job!
You could have talked to me.
Discreety.
Instead, you stab me in the back.
= I didn't want that. - Then perhaps you should have thought about what you do!
Do you have any idea what it means always to be creativeon the spot?! Always having to prove to everyone how great you are?!
If everyone always expects the next big success from you
No, of course you don't! And why should you? You're always on top of things!
What...? Is this supposed to be some sort of joke?
ME always on top of things?!
My marriage is over, I'm getting divorced from the woman I still love, God knows why!
Oh, and apart from that I have to lead this company!
The entire existence of the family depends on this company!
= You've always wanted this job! - Yes, but not through making Ansgar...
not through the fact that Ansgar had an accident and lies in a hospital bed.
I'm trying to lead this company like our father would have expected from us.
Which means: without Ansgar, without Tanja and without dirty tricks.
Yet, it turns out to be really difficult if even my own sister doesn't trust me anymore.
The fact is that Tanja's got control over the company now.
She can make this place fall apart anytime now.
So, what am I supposed to do?!
I hope I can still rely on your loyalty when it comes to Tanja and Ansgar.
Oh, and, if working here is too much pressure for you, maybe you should consider if this is the right job for you.
= Hey, Rebecca. - Hey
= Are you okay? - Yeah, sure.
You're quite pale.
Everything's fine.
I can't do it anymore.
I just can't...
Rebecca?
Rebecca?
Rebecca? Are you okay?!
