Riches (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
Black on Both Sides
1
I'm the boss,
and that's how
we're going to move forward.
Flair & Glory is ours,
and they'll get no peace
until they give it back. You hear?
Someone has been embezzling
on a massive scale.
What was going on here?
What were you and Stephen doing?
[Nina] Do I have access to his emails,
call logs, et cetera?
- Do you want to have dinner sometime?
- I'm not really dating.
Hey, Andre.
Who are you calling?
Bring me more shares, then we'll talk.
Let's keep this between us.
[Nina] There's got to be
some kind of email trail.
[sighs] Shit.
Oh, God!
[both laugh]
Mmm. See what you've been missing?
You talk too much.
[Andre sighs]
This isn't right.
What?
Oh!
He wouldn't care.
[Andre chuckles]
Men always care.
Dre, are you afraid of a dead man?
Hmm?
[both laugh]
Never.
No.
Mmm-mmm.
Serial killer, okay
Oh! Nice.
[upbeat music playing]
Good to meet you, Brooklyn.
Someone might come in.
Who cares?
I have to be out of here in 15 minutes.
[chuckles] You're gonna be late.
I have to be discreet about
You have something in your eye, Dora?
I'm following up
on this shareholder thing.
I bet Gideon knows more
than he's saying.
You have to keep on Gideon.
Trust me, I'm on it.
But we have to be careful.
Nina and Simon
can't know what we're doing.
They won't.
You stay on Gideon. Don't worry,
I'll keep them occupied.
Sorry for being late.
- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.
Thank you.
[Nina clears throat]
Please don't get murdered by someone
off Tinder or whatever it is.
- What time is your flight?
- 2:00.
Uh
I have a client in LA, and
if I don't spend some time with Ido,
he's going to explode.
Fine. Leave me all alone here.
Don't be so dramatic!
Bet you one of 'em
probably stole that money.
Do you think any of them
are smart enough?
Nah.
Nah.
You talked to Mum?
Yeah. She wants us back home.
I'm gonna see her next week.
Great. You can tell her
that all of this is your fault.
You shouldn't have made me come.
Just don't start World War III
while I'm gone.
[theme music playing]
[woman] Mr Richards,
you've got excellent taste.
That one always sells out.
Sells out?
[scoffs]
Yeah, I don't want anything common.
No, not at all
Uh, I meant, girls love it.
How about this one?
You won't see it on Insta.
New collection.
[Gus] That one.
Exquisite.
Very good, sir.
Here.
Have it delivered there.
Of course, sir.
She must be very special.
Face of Flair
is the heart of the brand,
and this year, it needs to be perfect.
Mmm-hmm. Tasty.
[softly] Sorry.
So here's a shortlist.
[Wanda] Mmm.
You know, Leanne Mason is stunning.
Uh-huh. And she has more than
3.2 million followers on Instagram.
Shouldn't Nina or Simon be here?
If they can't reach work on time,
that's their business.
Leanne Mason
is the spirit of this brand.
- She's perfect.
- Hmm! Perfect for what?
The flat is lovely.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Can you check
if Stephen's lease can be extended?
Nina, er, Mrs Richards
called a meeting
On what authority?
She's not an employee.
We need to turn this around quickly.
There's no time to waste.
And the guest list
needs to be tighter this year.
Not any riff raff who happens
to have a blue tick on Twitter.
- Total budget?
- Minimum 500.
£500,000?
At least.
- In terms of guest list
- You are not serious.
[chuckles]
Face of Flair is my area.
Stephen didn't interfere.
As CEO, I have to approve
of every expenditure over £5,000.
I'm not approving that.
You trying to cross me?
Everyone who is not family, out.
You can't just butt in.
I said, everyone who is not family,
the meeting is over.
You
stay.
You don't wanna make an enemy of me.
We can be enemies later,
but right now, we have bigger problems.
Someone's been stealing money
from the company.
Lies.
That's bullshit!
A large-scale embezzlement
has being going down,
- over months, maybe even years.
- Are you joking? How much is missing?
At least £20 million.
[others] What?
That's what I'm sure of.
It might be much worse.
Flair & Glory is on the edge.
One false move, one bad quarter,
and we crash and burn.
I don't believe this.
You don't have to.
It's all right there,
right there in the records,
if any of you bothered to read.
How could you miss this?
Or
who was covering it up?
[Claudia] We called you in here
to give us answers.
It appears that Stephen
put up some family assets
as security for some debts.
- What?
- Why?
I don't believe this. It's a grift.
They're just trying to con us
out of what's ours.
If that money isn't recovered,
things will get bad.
Gus, your apartment is paid
and leased up for another year,
so you can stay,
but, Wanda, I would suggest
that when your lease ends next month,
perhaps you move in with your mother
while we try to resolve this.
- Are you joking?
- What?
Claudia
The flowers, the clothes,
the gifts to your sister, Carlene,
the car
It's excessive.
You You didn't mention
Alesha's flat?
That's not an issue.
Alesha purchased her property
from the business
- and paid off her mortgage.
- What?
- How?
- [Alesha sighs]
I made a bit from my website
and online partnerships,
and I always invested my allowance.
[sighs] You're kidding me.
Alesha is in a strong position,
but for the rest of you,
I'm afraid there are
some challenging times ahead.
Why are we only finding out now?
This wouldn't have happened
on my watch.
I can speak only
in my capacity as Stephen's executor,
but unless Nina can track
and recover that money,
it's not good for you.
But we're gonna get the money back,
right? This will sort itself out?
You approved this?
Stephen approved it before he died.
What's been going on here? Hmm?
You're the CFO, and money has been
disappearing right under your nose.
I should fire you.
This isn't on me.
Stephen had his fingers in everything.
- And?
- A
It's your job to manage the finances,
even with a difficult CEO.
You need to talk to Gus,
he's the deputy.
No, Andre, let's be real.
Stephen doled out these bullshit
minister-without-portfolio titles
to any Tom, Dick or Duane
You're the actual CFO,
and millions walked right out of here.
My hands were tied. I'm not family,
I couldn't demand answers.
Oh, so you had questions?
- [knock on door]
- Am I interrupting?
No. Come in.
We can't trust anything they tell us.
Yeah, what if she's lying
about the money?
And And where's Simon?
We need her gone.
Wait and see doesn't win.
You need to fight, Gus.
With what, Mum?
Have you got any new ideas?
There's
[sighs]
This This is crazy.
And, Alesha, I mean,
when did she suddenly
become the Black lady Warren Buffet?
- She was always careful with money.
- Okay, but what about us?
I bet it's Andre stealing.
It's Nina we can't trust.
- [mobile vibrating]
- We can't sit around
Er I need to take this.
What about the safe?
We have to get into it.
You never know with your father.
Any news on our favourite policeman?
[man] So I've combed
through his service records
and I'm digging into his home life.
Nothing too dodgy
on his Internet searches.
Well, nothing too illegal anyway.
And no direct racist affiliations.
Do you have anything useful for me?
Just open the attachment.
These are his personal debts.
Is that it?
[man laughs]
This is a huge amount of debt
for an average guy.
- For real?
- For real.
He's owing almost six times
his annual income
and he's up to his eyeballs
with a loan shark,
a guy with known links
to organised crime.
That's bad.
[scoffs] It's probably
a sackable offence.
If we cancel,
we lose the entire deposit.
So, maybe we go ahead
with Face of Flair?
With everything we now know,
that's mad.
Just listen to me.
Face of Flair has been a thing
since the start of the company.
Even people who don't use
our products know about Face.
- It's iconic.
- Oh, come on.
And the market is crowded.
Our legacy is the only thing
that makes us stand out.
Profits are down.
We need to turn that around.
I've been saying that for two years
and no-one listened.
We should pull back, reduce
the number of products on shelves.
- What?
- Focus on a smaller,
more curated selection.
Cut and run?
It's the financially
sensible position.
We left sensible behind
when someone forgot to secure
the company accounts,
so we need to take a big swing
in order to keep us from going under.
What if Face of Flair
is an opportunity for a soft rebrand?
- No.
- Reposition ourselves in the market.
Hold on to our core customers,
while also dragging in
a whole new generation
with disposable income to spend.
Yes. That's what I'm saying.
Or lose even more money
and tip us over the edge.
Face of Flair
has always been a vanity thing.
- We don't need rebranding
- Right.
we need a more focused strategy.
[Nina] There's one way to find out.
[chuckling] When Flair & Glory
first came to shops, it was like Wow!
Only on the bottom shelf,
right at the back.
Mmm.
I've been relaxing my hair
with Flair & Glory for 20 years.
That's why I still have all my edges.
The products are full of sulphates
and chemicals.
[man] I still buy the Flair & Glory
Holding Spray.
The smell reminds me of my grandpa.
It's all weaves and relaxers. Hello!
It's not 1987.
I used to love their presentation
at Afro Hair & Beauty.
Their website is rubbish.
It's always some "error 404" bullshit.
F&G
Are they still a thing?
You put a camera
in front of British people,
of course they'll complain.
- Country of whingers.
- Those whingers are our customers.
We have to listen.
Uh, no, we don't.
You don't even use our products.
Rag-tag focus group.
What do they know about Face of Flair?
Ever noticed how every Face of Flair
has been biracial?
No, that's not true.
They're not all mixed race.
- Which one isn't?
- [Claudia] What is your point?
The brand for the discerning
Black British woman,
except we like our Black women
to always have one white parent.
If it ain't broke, why mess with it?
Face of Flair's fine the way it is.
We have a colourism problem.
We pick the best model for the job.
It's about what sells.
Oh, and here at Flair & Glory,
we like our Black beauty light, bright,
and with a narrow nose.
- Don't talk to Mum like that.
- Oh.
So, Face of Flair is going ahead.
Claudia, I appreciate
all of your hard work,
but I'll take it from here.
What?
This is my project.
Not any more.
The disrespect
[knock on door]
Thanks for having my back
in the boardroom.
Things need shaking up.
How are you doing?
Er, my dyslexia gets worse
when I'm stressed.
I feel like I'm just so out of my depth
with all of this.
Alesha,
I didn't hire you to do paperwork.
You know products better than anyone,
that's why you're here.
- But they sent me all of these.
- Send it back.
Hire an executive assistant and
make them summarise everything for you
Choose a number two in products
and make them handle the paperwork.
- Delegate, Alesha.
- Okay.
Products is your area now,
and what we need is new ideas
in the pipeline.
You have a right to be here.
Take up space.
Ms Richards. Eric from IT.
Yes, come in.
So, Stephen's emails
You stayed real quiet in there, Andre.
What about having my back?
I'm no use to you
if she doesn't trust me.
You promised me results.
You said you'd get shareholders
to be on my side.
What happened?
Why's it taking so long?
I'm fighting a lot of fires right now,
if you hadn't really noticed.
Mmm.
So, tell me,
how did all that money go missing
and you not notice anything?
Claudia, what the f
Don't try and do me like that.
[chuckles]
Chill, I'm only joking.
Well, don't.
It's people like me
who always end up doing time.
You're right about that.
Claudia.
Claudia.
Your visitor has arrived.
- It's above my pay grade.
- But you're the safe guy!
[man chuckles]
I can pay.
This type of safe, it's got failsafes,
it's got triggers
I I'm not insured
for this kind of thing.
Then who is?
[chuckling] Hey. You're still here.
I didn't even know
you cared about the business.
W[chuckles] ell, no-one gave me
a chance to care.
It was always about you.
You were being groomed to inherit,
and I was the oldest
who wasn't supposed to want anything
because I was a girl.
Did you ever think
how messed up that was?
[chuckles]
Yeah, when you say it like that,
it sounds kinda sexist.
Yeah.
Hey, er
I got this for you.
- They're nicer than mine.
- [chuckles]
Do you trust her?
Nina's for real.
I know you don't wanna hear it.
I don't know anything any more.
This missing money
It just feels like all this stuff
is happening around me
and I'm in the dark.
[R&B music plays]
Mmm!
So good.
[ringing]
[Simon] You have reached Simon Richards.
Do the thing.
Si, I need you to call me.
Something here is seriously messed up.
Maureen?
Hi.
You have messages.
What now?
Some of the shareholders
have heard rumours about a money issue.
[Nina sighs]
[sighs]
[Nina] I told you
this stays in the family.
You are not my family.
You don't even know what you've done.
You know, you're just like your mother.
Looking down your nose,
thinking you're better than everyone.
Not everyone.
Because you ran your mouth,
I can't contain this.
How long before it's in the press
or the fraud squad start calling?
Girl, that's your problem.
[scoffs]
Your problem, too.
Your signature, right?
Here, and here, and here.
So what?
You co-signed loans for Stephen.
Personal guarantees.
That was years ago.
Your name is all over
some very toxic assets.
We go down, and the bank
will take everything you have left.
Stephen said it wasn't anything.
All you had to do was shut up.
Get out of my house.
The way things are going,
it won't be yours much longer.
Get out!
[exhales]
You have no shame, Claudia.
How you got him
is how you will lose him.
Bitch!
Mummy, what's wrong?
Come here.
Is it Daddy?
Mmm-hmm.
[mobile vibrating]
Please tell me you have
some answers.
[Eric] I've located the account
that deleted those emails.
- [sighs]
- It was an inside job.
Thank you, Eric.
You deleted those emails and files,
and I wanna know why.
I don't understand.
Your log-in was used
to wipe all the data.
And you deleted the cloud server
and the back-up, too.
No, I didn't.
Davina, if it was an accident,
you can tell me.
Ms Richards, I swear,
I don't even know how to do that.
Okay, if you won't be honest
with me, Davina
I'm telling the truth.
I don't know about any deleted emails.
You're suspended.
Security will escort you out.
We're gonna conduct a full
investigation. Do you understand?
I didn't do anything.
I love working here!
I haven't even taken a sample home.
If our investigation
reveals a crime has been committed,
the authorities will be involved.
Please leave your company phone
and your key fob.
[Davina] No.
No! This isn't right.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything.
Andre!
You know me. Andre!
Thank you.
- I don't think
- Clearly.
Your involvement with Ms Chase
is also under investigation by HR.
Davina isn't capable of this.
Then who helped her?
You left us open
to a number of legal actions,
so if I find out you were involved,
things will get real ugly.
Okay, but I don't understand
what's taking them so long.
Why can't they open it?
The experts have to talk
to other experts.
[sighs] Look, we should tell Gus.
Not until we know what's inside there.
[sighs] This is so messed up.
I literally hate them.
Why did Dad do this?
I don't understand
what he was trying to do.
And Alesha, I mean,
she is such a traitor!
Don't talk about your sister like that.
I just wanna know what's in
Oh, hey, babe.
- [Claudia] Hi, Luke.
- Hi, Mrs R.
Er, am I Am I interrupting?
No. I should go. Talk later.
Yeah. Bye, Mum.
- What was that?
- Huh?
The minute I come in, you stop talking,
and it's not the first time.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Don't do that. Don't gaslight me.
Okay, you can't tell anyone.
Someone stole money from the company.
Like, a lot of it.
What!? How much?
Millions.
Sasha.
[Sasha] What am I
supposed to do with this?
Um
Wear it?
Do you want me to get robbed
in the street?
- Let's go to my office.
- No, no
Who do you think you are?
Just because I work in that bar
doesn't mean you can buy me.
I wasn't trying to buy you.
I thought you'd like it.
No, no, I don't know
about this VIP life,
but if you wanna step to me,
then act like a normal person.
I'm not for sale.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Gideon sighs]
This has to be an inside job.
Thomas is one of the best
forensic accountants in Europe.
If anyone can track that money,
it's him.
Meanwhile, we are hanging on the edge.
I don't understand
how Stephen missed it.
Unless Stephen was doing this.
No. No, your father was many things,
but not that.
Between Davina, Andre and Gus,
no-one can be trusted.
Nina, it's you that has to get things
under control.
We need a massive injection of cash
to survive the next year.
There's no margin for error, Gideon.
The board will encourage you
to sell some parts of the business
- and claw back whatever money they can.
- Absolutely not.
Then you need allies
among the shareholders, Nina.
Without them,
you can't right this ship.
[mobile ringing]
It's IT calling. I have to take this.
- We'll talk tonight.
- Of course.
[Eric] Ms Richards,
I think I've found something else.
[Claudia] This is about sales.
People want us to say,
"Use the cream plus the powder,
"do the work
and you'll look beautiful."
- [Wanda] It's about being aspirational.
- [Claudia] Exactly.
Our company can be inclusive, too.
We could pick three models.
Something for everyone.
No! That's a cop out.
Okay, so what, Alesha?
We stop using mixed race models?
You don't think that's divisive
and anti-Black?
You're missing the point.
Being mixed or light-skinned
shouldn't mean you automatically win.
[Wanda scoffs] Okay, this is business.
- It should be Leanne.
- Yinka or Syreeta.
[Claudia] Ridiculous.
They don't represent Flair & Glory.
[Alesha] It's Flair & Glory
if we say it is.
And I decide what's Flair & Glory.
You're the one saying
the company's in trouble.
Tonight you have to choose
between these women.
Make the wrong decision,
and whatever happens, it's on you.
Time's ticking.
Oh, yes!
Oh, my God, that's them!
These were the shoes
I was talking about.
Er, excuse me.
Erm, can I get these
in a four, please?
[scoffs] No.
Get the shoe in a 4, do your job.
[scoffs]
- I want to speak to your manager.
- I don't have a manager.
Right. Excuse me.
This assistant was just really rude.
Ms Richards,
your stylist is ready for you.
Shall we head up to the private floor?
Thank you, Carla.
Yeah, let's get away from all of this.
We'll find the perfect outfit
for tonight.
Thanks.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's so cute.
- It's perfect.
- Thank you.
I love it. Thank you.
You're welcome.
[mobile ringing]
Mmm.
Hi.
[Simon] Hey.
You made your decision, right?
No.
You have, like, three hours.
Talk me through.
Okay, so Leanne Mason,
she has millions
of Instagram followers, right?
Big campaigns, sponsorships.
Someone like her, ads go viral.
- No-brainer.
- So what's the problem?
Or we can go the progressive direction.
Do something for the culture.
Weren't you the one saying
there's no room for error?
Yeah, that was me,
but we need to connect
with the young Black consumer.
That's the only way we grow.
Look, you can't predict
or anticipate Black Twitter,
all the big talk and think pieces,
then give 'em what they say they want
Tumbleweeds.
Yeah, but listen, my gut says,
"What's the fucking point
if we don't take the big swings?"
But my head says
this could blow up in my face.
Seriously, though, whatever happens,
you need to be able to stand
by your choice.
You can't please everybody
all the time, okay?
Now send me a picture
of what your hair looks like.
I need to approve.
[text alert]
What do you think?
- Oh, God. Change it.
- Really?
Yeah, that doesn't work for me.
Change it.
[reporter] Tonight sees the unveiling
of the new Face of Flair
right in Central London's
glittering West End.
Can we afford all this?
Probably not.
Unless I make the right decision.
[reporters clamour]
Mum is the queen of making an entrance.
That figures.
[reporter] Face of Flair is notorious
for launching the careers
of our most successful models,
and tonight looks like no exception.
Who will win?
[band plays Redemption Song]
Hi.
[Luke] I've got a few auditions
coming up.
We should swap numbers
Connect when I'm in LA.
You're being embarrassing.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Don't forget
there are journalists listening.
[Claudia] Any news
on the unknown shareholder?
I'm tracking companies
from the same person.
I just need to follow the trail.
Do it, before she destroys
the whole company.
Good to see you out.
You like the new girl?
- Mrs Richards
- Claudia.
Mrs Richards, I'm not going to discuss
what happens in the office.
Always good with the secrets.
A glass of champagne?
It's not a good idea.
Excuse me.
It's almost time for the announcement.
Have you decided?
[Nina] Out of interest
What did Davina do to you?
Sorry, I don't
IT discovered that you deleted
those files using her log-in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay.
You can talk it over with the police.
Let them comb through
every corner of your life.
- It's not what you think.
- Isn't it?
Either you embezzled a truckload
of money from the company,
or you're covering for my father.
No.
Then why delete those records?
Eric from IT is restoring the files.
I will know everything.
I was protecting his privacy.
Stephen changed.
He became quiet, secretive,
began booking his own appointments.
At first I thought it was a woman
But then I read some emails
I shouldn't have,
and I saw some expenses from abroad
and I put it together.
Put what together?
He'd been going to Zurich.
Why?
Maureen, I will throw you
under the bus so fast
if you don't tell me the truth.
He was seeing an oncologist there.
A world-renowned specialist.
Oh?
I don't think Stephen was embezzling.
He was dying.
[cheering and applause]
- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Honestly, honey, Mason,
what an amazing musical family!
I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt
'cause we're actually here for a reason.
Not just a drink-up.
[laughter]
It's time to announce
the Face of Flair.
Now, I don't know about you,
but the Face of Flair is a big thing
in my house, yeah?
You know, everyone has their opinion.
You made me look like a fool.
- You gave my godfather your LinkedIn.
- I'm here to make contacts.
You're here to support your girlfriend
and her family.
- Nobody likes a star
- Shh!
[hostess] Some of you
have your fantasy football league
and we have the Face of Flair.
Right, and I wanna know
who's gonna be the winner.
Is it gonna be the lightie
with the blue eyes?
Or will it be the sister queen
with the 3C curls?
Mmm-hmm. That, kids,
is why I get my payment upfront.
You'd better find your little notepad
app and take down some notes
because you're gonna
get schooled today, Okay?
But seriously, though,
Flair & Glory is the real deal.
Growing up,
it's that brand that made you realise
Black can be mainstream.
It's a brand that we look at
and you think,
we can create and own businesses
and companies. But listen,
I don't wanna get into it,
'cause I'll be here chatting all day,
you know how I'm like.
So, before they kick me off the stage,
I wanna welcome the one and only,
the CEO of Flair & Glory,
Ms Nina Richards.
[cheering and applause]
Thank you.
My parents, Stephen and Oyin,
believed that Black consumers
deserve to be treated with respect.
And so, Flair & Glory was born
in our flat in Finsbury Park.
Blood of Jesus.
Flair & Glory has been
at the heart of Black British beauty
for over 20 years, and now after
the tragic loss of our father,
we want to secure that legacy
for the next generation.
[Nina clears throat]
It's so great to see you all here
tonight looking stunning.
I know my father would really
appreciate your presence
as we celebrate another year
of Face of Flair.
What's she doing here?
[Nina] synonymous with
Black excellence.
What the hell?
Ms Richards,
I think me and you have a lot
- in common, you know.
- Shh!
The next Face of Flair is about
the future of this company.
- Who are you?
- Davina, not here.
Gus, Wanda,
Alesha
Do you wanna know a secret?
Can someone call security?
Like, what is she doing?
You're gonna call security on me again?
We're joined tonight
by all of our wonderful finalists,
- and in selecting this year's Face
- You lot are all hypocrites!
Okay, I guess the champagne
was flowing a little too freely.
Erm, the winner
of this year's Face of Flair
I don't know nothing about no hack
But I know one thing.
Did you know your mum
was fooling with the help?
- [others gasp]
- Okay.
Security.
Oh, shit, you guys didn't know?
These two.
Andre, you really need to change
the passcode on your phone.
Let me just pull up the picture
your mum sent
Ugh.
Get her out of here.
- [Wanda] Mum.
- Bloody hell.
- [Claudia] I said, get her out of here.
- [Wanda] Mum.
Don't worry.
I'm out.
- What is this?
- Are you shitting me?
This is neither the time or the place.
Let's just save this, yeah? Save it.
[crashing]
I'm I'm proud to announce
Yinka Olusegun is this year's
Face of Flair.
[cheering and applause]
Bullshit.
I can't believe
you would do this to Dad.
How long has it been going on?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Don't talk to me like that.
This is not the sort of publicity
the brand needs right now.
There are more videos
of Gus punching Andre
than there are of the Face of Flair.
Yeah, UK Black Twitter
is sharing a tweet saying,
"Absolute chaos tonight.
Affairs, punch-ups.
"Talk about in-fighting."
I just
How long has it been going on?
Dad's probably turning in his grave.
You know what, you two need to grow up.
What did you think Dad was doing
in that fancy flat of his in the city?
- Okay, that's different.
- How?
How?
Back off of Mum.
We have bigger problems to worry about.
Have you taken a look at social media?
Flair & Glory's being trashed.
We're a joke.
[indistinct chatter]
[ringing]
You've reached Simon Richards.
Do the thing.
[vibrating]
[Nina] Hey, Romeo. Are you up?
Sorry, can we have a moment
for your brother's right hook, though?
Like, that was crazy.
Sorry. Can I get another one?
[gasping]
Oh, my God!
- What? What now?
- Oh, my God!
- What?
- Ms Frederique just tweeted.
- Saying? What did she say?
- Nina did it!
Oh, my God!
"The queen of US fashion."
[both squealing]
- We need shots!
- Yes, please!
You put me in this position.
[Andre] We never talked
about being exclusive.
Exclusive? Are you mad?
I don't give a damn
about your easy pickings!
My children are looking at me
like I'm loose.
I found the secret shareholder.
What?
Check your email.
[Asian Romeo]
We should do this again.
It's like that?
Okay
[Nina] Oh.
[Nina gasping]
Oh, fuck, yes!
What's up?
Why have you still got your clothes on?
As the lady wishes.
Mehta? The Irish millionaire?
He let them into our business?
[Andre] Jasel Mehta was worth millions.
He owned most of the Black hair shops
in the UK and Ireland.
Stephen hated his shops.
Stephen must have needed
a cash injection.
How else was he paying for your lives?
Mehta's name was hidden.
He purchased through his network
of companies.
We have to get to Mehta.
He died recently.
Who's controlling things now?
His son inherited everything.
Rishi.
[theme music playing]
I'm the boss,
and that's how
we're going to move forward.
Flair & Glory is ours,
and they'll get no peace
until they give it back. You hear?
Someone has been embezzling
on a massive scale.
What was going on here?
What were you and Stephen doing?
[Nina] Do I have access to his emails,
call logs, et cetera?
- Do you want to have dinner sometime?
- I'm not really dating.
Hey, Andre.
Who are you calling?
Bring me more shares, then we'll talk.
Let's keep this between us.
[Nina] There's got to be
some kind of email trail.
[sighs] Shit.
Oh, God!
[both laugh]
Mmm. See what you've been missing?
You talk too much.
[Andre sighs]
This isn't right.
What?
Oh!
He wouldn't care.
[Andre chuckles]
Men always care.
Dre, are you afraid of a dead man?
Hmm?
[both laugh]
Never.
No.
Mmm-mmm.
Serial killer, okay
Oh! Nice.
[upbeat music playing]
Good to meet you, Brooklyn.
Someone might come in.
Who cares?
I have to be out of here in 15 minutes.
[chuckles] You're gonna be late.
I have to be discreet about
You have something in your eye, Dora?
I'm following up
on this shareholder thing.
I bet Gideon knows more
than he's saying.
You have to keep on Gideon.
Trust me, I'm on it.
But we have to be careful.
Nina and Simon
can't know what we're doing.
They won't.
You stay on Gideon. Don't worry,
I'll keep them occupied.
Sorry for being late.
- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.
Thank you.
[Nina clears throat]
Please don't get murdered by someone
off Tinder or whatever it is.
- What time is your flight?
- 2:00.
Uh
I have a client in LA, and
if I don't spend some time with Ido,
he's going to explode.
Fine. Leave me all alone here.
Don't be so dramatic!
Bet you one of 'em
probably stole that money.
Do you think any of them
are smart enough?
Nah.
Nah.
You talked to Mum?
Yeah. She wants us back home.
I'm gonna see her next week.
Great. You can tell her
that all of this is your fault.
You shouldn't have made me come.
Just don't start World War III
while I'm gone.
[theme music playing]
[woman] Mr Richards,
you've got excellent taste.
That one always sells out.
Sells out?
[scoffs]
Yeah, I don't want anything common.
No, not at all
Uh, I meant, girls love it.
How about this one?
You won't see it on Insta.
New collection.
[Gus] That one.
Exquisite.
Very good, sir.
Here.
Have it delivered there.
Of course, sir.
She must be very special.
Face of Flair
is the heart of the brand,
and this year, it needs to be perfect.
Mmm-hmm. Tasty.
[softly] Sorry.
So here's a shortlist.
[Wanda] Mmm.
You know, Leanne Mason is stunning.
Uh-huh. And she has more than
3.2 million followers on Instagram.
Shouldn't Nina or Simon be here?
If they can't reach work on time,
that's their business.
Leanne Mason
is the spirit of this brand.
- She's perfect.
- Hmm! Perfect for what?
The flat is lovely.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Can you check
if Stephen's lease can be extended?
Nina, er, Mrs Richards
called a meeting
On what authority?
She's not an employee.
We need to turn this around quickly.
There's no time to waste.
And the guest list
needs to be tighter this year.
Not any riff raff who happens
to have a blue tick on Twitter.
- Total budget?
- Minimum 500.
£500,000?
At least.
- In terms of guest list
- You are not serious.
[chuckles]
Face of Flair is my area.
Stephen didn't interfere.
As CEO, I have to approve
of every expenditure over £5,000.
I'm not approving that.
You trying to cross me?
Everyone who is not family, out.
You can't just butt in.
I said, everyone who is not family,
the meeting is over.
You
stay.
You don't wanna make an enemy of me.
We can be enemies later,
but right now, we have bigger problems.
Someone's been stealing money
from the company.
Lies.
That's bullshit!
A large-scale embezzlement
has being going down,
- over months, maybe even years.
- Are you joking? How much is missing?
At least £20 million.
[others] What?
That's what I'm sure of.
It might be much worse.
Flair & Glory is on the edge.
One false move, one bad quarter,
and we crash and burn.
I don't believe this.
You don't have to.
It's all right there,
right there in the records,
if any of you bothered to read.
How could you miss this?
Or
who was covering it up?
[Claudia] We called you in here
to give us answers.
It appears that Stephen
put up some family assets
as security for some debts.
- What?
- Why?
I don't believe this. It's a grift.
They're just trying to con us
out of what's ours.
If that money isn't recovered,
things will get bad.
Gus, your apartment is paid
and leased up for another year,
so you can stay,
but, Wanda, I would suggest
that when your lease ends next month,
perhaps you move in with your mother
while we try to resolve this.
- Are you joking?
- What?
Claudia
The flowers, the clothes,
the gifts to your sister, Carlene,
the car
It's excessive.
You You didn't mention
Alesha's flat?
That's not an issue.
Alesha purchased her property
from the business
- and paid off her mortgage.
- What?
- How?
- [Alesha sighs]
I made a bit from my website
and online partnerships,
and I always invested my allowance.
[sighs] You're kidding me.
Alesha is in a strong position,
but for the rest of you,
I'm afraid there are
some challenging times ahead.
Why are we only finding out now?
This wouldn't have happened
on my watch.
I can speak only
in my capacity as Stephen's executor,
but unless Nina can track
and recover that money,
it's not good for you.
But we're gonna get the money back,
right? This will sort itself out?
You approved this?
Stephen approved it before he died.
What's been going on here? Hmm?
You're the CFO, and money has been
disappearing right under your nose.
I should fire you.
This isn't on me.
Stephen had his fingers in everything.
- And?
- A
It's your job to manage the finances,
even with a difficult CEO.
You need to talk to Gus,
he's the deputy.
No, Andre, let's be real.
Stephen doled out these bullshit
minister-without-portfolio titles
to any Tom, Dick or Duane
You're the actual CFO,
and millions walked right out of here.
My hands were tied. I'm not family,
I couldn't demand answers.
Oh, so you had questions?
- [knock on door]
- Am I interrupting?
No. Come in.
We can't trust anything they tell us.
Yeah, what if she's lying
about the money?
And And where's Simon?
We need her gone.
Wait and see doesn't win.
You need to fight, Gus.
With what, Mum?
Have you got any new ideas?
There's
[sighs]
This This is crazy.
And, Alesha, I mean,
when did she suddenly
become the Black lady Warren Buffet?
- She was always careful with money.
- Okay, but what about us?
I bet it's Andre stealing.
It's Nina we can't trust.
- [mobile vibrating]
- We can't sit around
Er I need to take this.
What about the safe?
We have to get into it.
You never know with your father.
Any news on our favourite policeman?
[man] So I've combed
through his service records
and I'm digging into his home life.
Nothing too dodgy
on his Internet searches.
Well, nothing too illegal anyway.
And no direct racist affiliations.
Do you have anything useful for me?
Just open the attachment.
These are his personal debts.
Is that it?
[man laughs]
This is a huge amount of debt
for an average guy.
- For real?
- For real.
He's owing almost six times
his annual income
and he's up to his eyeballs
with a loan shark,
a guy with known links
to organised crime.
That's bad.
[scoffs] It's probably
a sackable offence.
If we cancel,
we lose the entire deposit.
So, maybe we go ahead
with Face of Flair?
With everything we now know,
that's mad.
Just listen to me.
Face of Flair has been a thing
since the start of the company.
Even people who don't use
our products know about Face.
- It's iconic.
- Oh, come on.
And the market is crowded.
Our legacy is the only thing
that makes us stand out.
Profits are down.
We need to turn that around.
I've been saying that for two years
and no-one listened.
We should pull back, reduce
the number of products on shelves.
- What?
- Focus on a smaller,
more curated selection.
Cut and run?
It's the financially
sensible position.
We left sensible behind
when someone forgot to secure
the company accounts,
so we need to take a big swing
in order to keep us from going under.
What if Face of Flair
is an opportunity for a soft rebrand?
- No.
- Reposition ourselves in the market.
Hold on to our core customers,
while also dragging in
a whole new generation
with disposable income to spend.
Yes. That's what I'm saying.
Or lose even more money
and tip us over the edge.
Face of Flair
has always been a vanity thing.
- We don't need rebranding
- Right.
we need a more focused strategy.
[Nina] There's one way to find out.
[chuckling] When Flair & Glory
first came to shops, it was like Wow!
Only on the bottom shelf,
right at the back.
Mmm.
I've been relaxing my hair
with Flair & Glory for 20 years.
That's why I still have all my edges.
The products are full of sulphates
and chemicals.
[man] I still buy the Flair & Glory
Holding Spray.
The smell reminds me of my grandpa.
It's all weaves and relaxers. Hello!
It's not 1987.
I used to love their presentation
at Afro Hair & Beauty.
Their website is rubbish.
It's always some "error 404" bullshit.
F&G
Are they still a thing?
You put a camera
in front of British people,
of course they'll complain.
- Country of whingers.
- Those whingers are our customers.
We have to listen.
Uh, no, we don't.
You don't even use our products.
Rag-tag focus group.
What do they know about Face of Flair?
Ever noticed how every Face of Flair
has been biracial?
No, that's not true.
They're not all mixed race.
- Which one isn't?
- [Claudia] What is your point?
The brand for the discerning
Black British woman,
except we like our Black women
to always have one white parent.
If it ain't broke, why mess with it?
Face of Flair's fine the way it is.
We have a colourism problem.
We pick the best model for the job.
It's about what sells.
Oh, and here at Flair & Glory,
we like our Black beauty light, bright,
and with a narrow nose.
- Don't talk to Mum like that.
- Oh.
So, Face of Flair is going ahead.
Claudia, I appreciate
all of your hard work,
but I'll take it from here.
What?
This is my project.
Not any more.
The disrespect
[knock on door]
Thanks for having my back
in the boardroom.
Things need shaking up.
How are you doing?
Er, my dyslexia gets worse
when I'm stressed.
I feel like I'm just so out of my depth
with all of this.
Alesha,
I didn't hire you to do paperwork.
You know products better than anyone,
that's why you're here.
- But they sent me all of these.
- Send it back.
Hire an executive assistant and
make them summarise everything for you
Choose a number two in products
and make them handle the paperwork.
- Delegate, Alesha.
- Okay.
Products is your area now,
and what we need is new ideas
in the pipeline.
You have a right to be here.
Take up space.
Ms Richards. Eric from IT.
Yes, come in.
So, Stephen's emails
You stayed real quiet in there, Andre.
What about having my back?
I'm no use to you
if she doesn't trust me.
You promised me results.
You said you'd get shareholders
to be on my side.
What happened?
Why's it taking so long?
I'm fighting a lot of fires right now,
if you hadn't really noticed.
Mmm.
So, tell me,
how did all that money go missing
and you not notice anything?
Claudia, what the f
Don't try and do me like that.
[chuckles]
Chill, I'm only joking.
Well, don't.
It's people like me
who always end up doing time.
You're right about that.
Claudia.
Claudia.
Your visitor has arrived.
- It's above my pay grade.
- But you're the safe guy!
[man chuckles]
I can pay.
This type of safe, it's got failsafes,
it's got triggers
I I'm not insured
for this kind of thing.
Then who is?
[chuckling] Hey. You're still here.
I didn't even know
you cared about the business.
W[chuckles] ell, no-one gave me
a chance to care.
It was always about you.
You were being groomed to inherit,
and I was the oldest
who wasn't supposed to want anything
because I was a girl.
Did you ever think
how messed up that was?
[chuckles]
Yeah, when you say it like that,
it sounds kinda sexist.
Yeah.
Hey, er
I got this for you.
- They're nicer than mine.
- [chuckles]
Do you trust her?
Nina's for real.
I know you don't wanna hear it.
I don't know anything any more.
This missing money
It just feels like all this stuff
is happening around me
and I'm in the dark.
[R&B music plays]
Mmm!
So good.
[ringing]
[Simon] You have reached Simon Richards.
Do the thing.
Si, I need you to call me.
Something here is seriously messed up.
Maureen?
Hi.
You have messages.
What now?
Some of the shareholders
have heard rumours about a money issue.
[Nina sighs]
[sighs]
[Nina] I told you
this stays in the family.
You are not my family.
You don't even know what you've done.
You know, you're just like your mother.
Looking down your nose,
thinking you're better than everyone.
Not everyone.
Because you ran your mouth,
I can't contain this.
How long before it's in the press
or the fraud squad start calling?
Girl, that's your problem.
[scoffs]
Your problem, too.
Your signature, right?
Here, and here, and here.
So what?
You co-signed loans for Stephen.
Personal guarantees.
That was years ago.
Your name is all over
some very toxic assets.
We go down, and the bank
will take everything you have left.
Stephen said it wasn't anything.
All you had to do was shut up.
Get out of my house.
The way things are going,
it won't be yours much longer.
Get out!
[exhales]
You have no shame, Claudia.
How you got him
is how you will lose him.
Bitch!
Mummy, what's wrong?
Come here.
Is it Daddy?
Mmm-hmm.
[mobile vibrating]
Please tell me you have
some answers.
[Eric] I've located the account
that deleted those emails.
- [sighs]
- It was an inside job.
Thank you, Eric.
You deleted those emails and files,
and I wanna know why.
I don't understand.
Your log-in was used
to wipe all the data.
And you deleted the cloud server
and the back-up, too.
No, I didn't.
Davina, if it was an accident,
you can tell me.
Ms Richards, I swear,
I don't even know how to do that.
Okay, if you won't be honest
with me, Davina
I'm telling the truth.
I don't know about any deleted emails.
You're suspended.
Security will escort you out.
We're gonna conduct a full
investigation. Do you understand?
I didn't do anything.
I love working here!
I haven't even taken a sample home.
If our investigation
reveals a crime has been committed,
the authorities will be involved.
Please leave your company phone
and your key fob.
[Davina] No.
No! This isn't right.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything.
Andre!
You know me. Andre!
Thank you.
- I don't think
- Clearly.
Your involvement with Ms Chase
is also under investigation by HR.
Davina isn't capable of this.
Then who helped her?
You left us open
to a number of legal actions,
so if I find out you were involved,
things will get real ugly.
Okay, but I don't understand
what's taking them so long.
Why can't they open it?
The experts have to talk
to other experts.
[sighs] Look, we should tell Gus.
Not until we know what's inside there.
[sighs] This is so messed up.
I literally hate them.
Why did Dad do this?
I don't understand
what he was trying to do.
And Alesha, I mean,
she is such a traitor!
Don't talk about your sister like that.
I just wanna know what's in
Oh, hey, babe.
- [Claudia] Hi, Luke.
- Hi, Mrs R.
Er, am I Am I interrupting?
No. I should go. Talk later.
Yeah. Bye, Mum.
- What was that?
- Huh?
The minute I come in, you stop talking,
and it's not the first time.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Don't do that. Don't gaslight me.
Okay, you can't tell anyone.
Someone stole money from the company.
Like, a lot of it.
What!? How much?
Millions.
Sasha.
[Sasha] What am I
supposed to do with this?
Um
Wear it?
Do you want me to get robbed
in the street?
- Let's go to my office.
- No, no
Who do you think you are?
Just because I work in that bar
doesn't mean you can buy me.
I wasn't trying to buy you.
I thought you'd like it.
No, no, I don't know
about this VIP life,
but if you wanna step to me,
then act like a normal person.
I'm not for sale.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Gideon sighs]
This has to be an inside job.
Thomas is one of the best
forensic accountants in Europe.
If anyone can track that money,
it's him.
Meanwhile, we are hanging on the edge.
I don't understand
how Stephen missed it.
Unless Stephen was doing this.
No. No, your father was many things,
but not that.
Between Davina, Andre and Gus,
no-one can be trusted.
Nina, it's you that has to get things
under control.
We need a massive injection of cash
to survive the next year.
There's no margin for error, Gideon.
The board will encourage you
to sell some parts of the business
- and claw back whatever money they can.
- Absolutely not.
Then you need allies
among the shareholders, Nina.
Without them,
you can't right this ship.
[mobile ringing]
It's IT calling. I have to take this.
- We'll talk tonight.
- Of course.
[Eric] Ms Richards,
I think I've found something else.
[Claudia] This is about sales.
People want us to say,
"Use the cream plus the powder,
"do the work
and you'll look beautiful."
- [Wanda] It's about being aspirational.
- [Claudia] Exactly.
Our company can be inclusive, too.
We could pick three models.
Something for everyone.
No! That's a cop out.
Okay, so what, Alesha?
We stop using mixed race models?
You don't think that's divisive
and anti-Black?
You're missing the point.
Being mixed or light-skinned
shouldn't mean you automatically win.
[Wanda scoffs] Okay, this is business.
- It should be Leanne.
- Yinka or Syreeta.
[Claudia] Ridiculous.
They don't represent Flair & Glory.
[Alesha] It's Flair & Glory
if we say it is.
And I decide what's Flair & Glory.
You're the one saying
the company's in trouble.
Tonight you have to choose
between these women.
Make the wrong decision,
and whatever happens, it's on you.
Time's ticking.
Oh, yes!
Oh, my God, that's them!
These were the shoes
I was talking about.
Er, excuse me.
Erm, can I get these
in a four, please?
[scoffs] No.
Get the shoe in a 4, do your job.
[scoffs]
- I want to speak to your manager.
- I don't have a manager.
Right. Excuse me.
This assistant was just really rude.
Ms Richards,
your stylist is ready for you.
Shall we head up to the private floor?
Thank you, Carla.
Yeah, let's get away from all of this.
We'll find the perfect outfit
for tonight.
Thanks.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's so cute.
- It's perfect.
- Thank you.
I love it. Thank you.
You're welcome.
[mobile ringing]
Mmm.
Hi.
[Simon] Hey.
You made your decision, right?
No.
You have, like, three hours.
Talk me through.
Okay, so Leanne Mason,
she has millions
of Instagram followers, right?
Big campaigns, sponsorships.
Someone like her, ads go viral.
- No-brainer.
- So what's the problem?
Or we can go the progressive direction.
Do something for the culture.
Weren't you the one saying
there's no room for error?
Yeah, that was me,
but we need to connect
with the young Black consumer.
That's the only way we grow.
Look, you can't predict
or anticipate Black Twitter,
all the big talk and think pieces,
then give 'em what they say they want
Tumbleweeds.
Yeah, but listen, my gut says,
"What's the fucking point
if we don't take the big swings?"
But my head says
this could blow up in my face.
Seriously, though, whatever happens,
you need to be able to stand
by your choice.
You can't please everybody
all the time, okay?
Now send me a picture
of what your hair looks like.
I need to approve.
[text alert]
What do you think?
- Oh, God. Change it.
- Really?
Yeah, that doesn't work for me.
Change it.
[reporter] Tonight sees the unveiling
of the new Face of Flair
right in Central London's
glittering West End.
Can we afford all this?
Probably not.
Unless I make the right decision.
[reporters clamour]
Mum is the queen of making an entrance.
That figures.
[reporter] Face of Flair is notorious
for launching the careers
of our most successful models,
and tonight looks like no exception.
Who will win?
[band plays Redemption Song]
Hi.
[Luke] I've got a few auditions
coming up.
We should swap numbers
Connect when I'm in LA.
You're being embarrassing.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Don't forget
there are journalists listening.
[Claudia] Any news
on the unknown shareholder?
I'm tracking companies
from the same person.
I just need to follow the trail.
Do it, before she destroys
the whole company.
Good to see you out.
You like the new girl?
- Mrs Richards
- Claudia.
Mrs Richards, I'm not going to discuss
what happens in the office.
Always good with the secrets.
A glass of champagne?
It's not a good idea.
Excuse me.
It's almost time for the announcement.
Have you decided?
[Nina] Out of interest
What did Davina do to you?
Sorry, I don't
IT discovered that you deleted
those files using her log-in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay.
You can talk it over with the police.
Let them comb through
every corner of your life.
- It's not what you think.
- Isn't it?
Either you embezzled a truckload
of money from the company,
or you're covering for my father.
No.
Then why delete those records?
Eric from IT is restoring the files.
I will know everything.
I was protecting his privacy.
Stephen changed.
He became quiet, secretive,
began booking his own appointments.
At first I thought it was a woman
But then I read some emails
I shouldn't have,
and I saw some expenses from abroad
and I put it together.
Put what together?
He'd been going to Zurich.
Why?
Maureen, I will throw you
under the bus so fast
if you don't tell me the truth.
He was seeing an oncologist there.
A world-renowned specialist.
Oh?
I don't think Stephen was embezzling.
He was dying.
[cheering and applause]
- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Honestly, honey, Mason,
what an amazing musical family!
I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt
'cause we're actually here for a reason.
Not just a drink-up.
[laughter]
It's time to announce
the Face of Flair.
Now, I don't know about you,
but the Face of Flair is a big thing
in my house, yeah?
You know, everyone has their opinion.
You made me look like a fool.
- You gave my godfather your LinkedIn.
- I'm here to make contacts.
You're here to support your girlfriend
and her family.
- Nobody likes a star
- Shh!
[hostess] Some of you
have your fantasy football league
and we have the Face of Flair.
Right, and I wanna know
who's gonna be the winner.
Is it gonna be the lightie
with the blue eyes?
Or will it be the sister queen
with the 3C curls?
Mmm-hmm. That, kids,
is why I get my payment upfront.
You'd better find your little notepad
app and take down some notes
because you're gonna
get schooled today, Okay?
But seriously, though,
Flair & Glory is the real deal.
Growing up,
it's that brand that made you realise
Black can be mainstream.
It's a brand that we look at
and you think,
we can create and own businesses
and companies. But listen,
I don't wanna get into it,
'cause I'll be here chatting all day,
you know how I'm like.
So, before they kick me off the stage,
I wanna welcome the one and only,
the CEO of Flair & Glory,
Ms Nina Richards.
[cheering and applause]
Thank you.
My parents, Stephen and Oyin,
believed that Black consumers
deserve to be treated with respect.
And so, Flair & Glory was born
in our flat in Finsbury Park.
Blood of Jesus.
Flair & Glory has been
at the heart of Black British beauty
for over 20 years, and now after
the tragic loss of our father,
we want to secure that legacy
for the next generation.
[Nina clears throat]
It's so great to see you all here
tonight looking stunning.
I know my father would really
appreciate your presence
as we celebrate another year
of Face of Flair.
What's she doing here?
[Nina] synonymous with
Black excellence.
What the hell?
Ms Richards,
I think me and you have a lot
- in common, you know.
- Shh!
The next Face of Flair is about
the future of this company.
- Who are you?
- Davina, not here.
Gus, Wanda,
Alesha
Do you wanna know a secret?
Can someone call security?
Like, what is she doing?
You're gonna call security on me again?
We're joined tonight
by all of our wonderful finalists,
- and in selecting this year's Face
- You lot are all hypocrites!
Okay, I guess the champagne
was flowing a little too freely.
Erm, the winner
of this year's Face of Flair
I don't know nothing about no hack
But I know one thing.
Did you know your mum
was fooling with the help?
- [others gasp]
- Okay.
Security.
Oh, shit, you guys didn't know?
These two.
Andre, you really need to change
the passcode on your phone.
Let me just pull up the picture
your mum sent
Ugh.
Get her out of here.
- [Wanda] Mum.
- Bloody hell.
- [Claudia] I said, get her out of here.
- [Wanda] Mum.
Don't worry.
I'm out.
- What is this?
- Are you shitting me?
This is neither the time or the place.
Let's just save this, yeah? Save it.
[crashing]
I'm I'm proud to announce
Yinka Olusegun is this year's
Face of Flair.
[cheering and applause]
Bullshit.
I can't believe
you would do this to Dad.
How long has it been going on?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Don't talk to me like that.
This is not the sort of publicity
the brand needs right now.
There are more videos
of Gus punching Andre
than there are of the Face of Flair.
Yeah, UK Black Twitter
is sharing a tweet saying,
"Absolute chaos tonight.
Affairs, punch-ups.
"Talk about in-fighting."
I just
How long has it been going on?
Dad's probably turning in his grave.
You know what, you two need to grow up.
What did you think Dad was doing
in that fancy flat of his in the city?
- Okay, that's different.
- How?
How?
Back off of Mum.
We have bigger problems to worry about.
Have you taken a look at social media?
Flair & Glory's being trashed.
We're a joke.
[indistinct chatter]
[ringing]
You've reached Simon Richards.
Do the thing.
[vibrating]
[Nina] Hey, Romeo. Are you up?
Sorry, can we have a moment
for your brother's right hook, though?
Like, that was crazy.
Sorry. Can I get another one?
[gasping]
Oh, my God!
- What? What now?
- Oh, my God!
- What?
- Ms Frederique just tweeted.
- Saying? What did she say?
- Nina did it!
Oh, my God!
"The queen of US fashion."
[both squealing]
- We need shots!
- Yes, please!
You put me in this position.
[Andre] We never talked
about being exclusive.
Exclusive? Are you mad?
I don't give a damn
about your easy pickings!
My children are looking at me
like I'm loose.
I found the secret shareholder.
What?
Check your email.
[Asian Romeo]
We should do this again.
It's like that?
Okay
[Nina] Oh.
[Nina gasping]
Oh, fuck, yes!
What's up?
Why have you still got your clothes on?
As the lady wishes.
Mehta? The Irish millionaire?
He let them into our business?
[Andre] Jasel Mehta was worth millions.
He owned most of the Black hair shops
in the UK and Ireland.
Stephen hated his shops.
Stephen must have needed
a cash injection.
How else was he paying for your lives?
Mehta's name was hidden.
He purchased through his network
of companies.
We have to get to Mehta.
He died recently.
Who's controlling things now?
His son inherited everything.
Rishi.
