Emily in Paris (2020) s04e01 Episode Script

1
[mouse clicks]
Hi, guys, let me tell you about
how this woman ruined this family's life.
This is my sister.
And this was her fiancée.
These two held a beautiful
engagement party at our family chateau.
Then he asked her
to get married that night.
She said "yes," but she knew
that he was in love with this woman
and ran away
from her own wedding in tears.
This is Emily.
This is the guy that Emily pretended
to be in love with, but really wasn't.
And this is not the first time
she's endangered this family.
The last time she came here,
- he almost lost a finger.
- [Gérard yelps]
[in French] Oh!
Such a dynamic storyteller.
[in English] And the time before that,
she preyed on an innocent boy
who dared to trust her with his heart.
To hear that story, follow for Part Two.
- [notification chimes]
- Wow.
At least he left out the part
where Alfie called me a cheater
in front of the entire wedding party
and then walked out
before I got a chance to explain.
Maybe that's in Part Two.
I did nothing wrong here, okay?
This is really about
Camille and Sofia's relationship,
that she conveniently
left out of her little speech.
I just [sighs] I want to explain
to Alfie, but he won't text me back.
But on the other hand,
she's finally opened up a nice little path
for you to be with Gabriel.
Oh. Okay. So you mean
the man that is still having a baby
with a woman in love with another woman,
and I'm the only one that knows about it?
Yeah. No, thank you.
No relationship is perfect.
Seriously?
- It's like she gave you her blessing.
- It's exactly the opposite.
She put a curse on me. In church.
I'm just trying
to find a silver lining here.
No silver linings.
Gabriel isn't an option
and Alfie's a ghost.
So, I'm just going
to put my head down and focus on work.
- Mmm.
- Okay. Bye.
Toodle-oo.
["Chat dans la nuit"
by DOPAMOON and Romain Muller playing]
- [Timothée on phone] Welcome to Part Two.
- [Mindy chuckles]
Hey.
Oh, hey. Oh.
Are you okay?
Oh, yeah. I just burned my hand
at the restaurant. It's, uh
Oh, my God. Here, let me help you.
Thank you.
[soft whimsical music playing]
Thank you.
Uh, you don't have to do that. I can
Stop, no. Let me. Let me.
Okay.
[clears throat] So, have you, um
heard from Camille?
Uh, no. She stayed at her family's chateau
and I haven't heard from her since.
What about Alfie?
No.
And I don't know if I will. [sighs]
[Gabriel] I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I
I shouldn't have rushed into marrying her.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
There is nothing wrong
with doing the right thing.
I think we're both guilty
of doing that sometimes.
At the expense of ourselves.
- Hey, stop.
- Okay.
Stop, just let someone else
cook for you for a change.
[chuckles] All right.
I want to make things right
with you and Alfie.
[inhales] There you go again.
Trying to do the right thing.
Alfie is not your problem.
And Camille isn't mine.
[sighs] You guys have a lot of things
to discuss and it's not about me.
As much as she'd like
to pretend that it is.
[Gabriel sighs]
Excuse me, stay out of my kitchen.
The fire's too high.
[Emily clicks tongue, inhales sharply]
And you probably
shouldn't do that until they're set.
- [smacks lips] Okay.
- Just saying.
[Emily] Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
- You sure you know what you're doing?
- [cell phone chimes]
Uh, actually, no I don't.
Um, I have to go. I'm so sorry.
Uh, what? Emily.
[upbeat music playing]
[running footsteps]
So, you saw the TikTok?
Oui, thanks to Luc.
And the less we say about it, the better.
AMI is coming in at 10:00.
It's Julien's client,
but they've asked
that you join the meeting.
I can't attend,
but I'm asking you now, ferme ton clapet.
[gasps] Oh, I know that one.
Shut your trap.
- Oh, yes.
- Don't interfere.
I don't want to give Julien
any more reasons
to think about leaving the company.
Emily, you're here.
[gasps] I was worried
you'd fled the country
after Timothée's riveting exposé,
who could blame you?
[Julien] Uh, what is he talking about?
No. You didn't see the TikTok?
I'm not on TikTok.
We have the AMI executive
waiting in the conference room.
It's your client.
I don't even need to be there.
[Julien] Oh, but you do.
Because it very much concerns you,
as you'll see.
[mutters]
[John Paul Young] And it's there
When you call out my name ♪
Love is in the air ♪
Love is in the air ♪
We are thrilled for the launch
of our "Love is in the Air" campaign
starring our very own Emily Cooper.
[Georges] We tested
all of the couples in the balloons
and you two scored the highest by far.
You can't fake
the look of love in the air.
Our outdoor campaign launched today
in Paris, New York and Seoul,
and we're premiering the ad
on the big screen
at Roland-Garros tomorrow
where we plan to host
our happy couple in the AMI courtside box.
You both must be there.
We want it to be interactive.
The AMI couple in the flesh,
in love, and on the big screen.
[Luc whispering hoarsely]
There is something you should see.
Stop whispering. Everyone can hear you.
I have an idea.
[Emily] Um
If you want it to be interactive,
get the whole stadium involved.
- Yeah.
- Let the camera roam
and and find other couples in love.
Like a Like a kiss cam.
Qu'est-ce que c'est, une kiss cam?
Oui, Emily, qu'est-ce que c'est,
une kiss cam?
Find couples in love in the audience,
and when
they're on the Jumbotron, they kiss.
Like at the Cubs games.
Right, like a caméra bisous.
Oui, oui, bisou for everyone.
- Right.
- It's way better than me and Alfie,
you know, yeah.
You don't even need us.
Ah, non, non, non, bisou for you too.
For for the entire world.
Mm-hmm. Oui, oui, oui. Oui, Emily.
The AMI campaign is about the love story
between you and Alfie.
- Exactement.
- [Emily mutters]
[sighs]
["Encore" by DOPAMOON and Napkey playing]
Putain. Why didn't you say anything?
I was trying not to interfere
with your client. Like I promised.
Not interfere? You've inserted yourself
into the campaign.
Yes, but who could imagine things
would balloon the way they did? [chuckles]
What happened?
AMI wants her and Alfie in their box,
but their breakup's all over the Internet.
I warned you about this, Emily.
You broadcast
your entire life for public consumption
and now it's affecting my business.
I can try to get it taken down, okay,
but I don't know about Alfie.
He won't even speak to me and, well,
he blocked my number
and deleted me on Instagram.
After such a humiliation,
who can blame him?
Okay, ça suffit.
I have a meeting at Maison Lavaux.
Fix this.
[tense music playing]
[Antoine in French] Voilà.
The first collaboration
between Maison Lavaux and Baccarat.
It's stunning.
And the scent?
- [sprays]
- [sniffing]
Oh! It's divine.
You haven't lost your touch.
Have you named it?
They preferred an English name,
and I agree.
[in English] "Crystal Heart."
[in French] What?
"Crystal Heart" sounds like
an American stripper.
And not an expensive one.
It's commercial.
No, it's tacky, Antoine.
What does Catherine think?
I'm sure she would agree.
Catherine is not involved.
She has asked for a divorce.
Ah, merde.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so surprised.
Are you?
Not really.
What does that mean for Maison Lavaux?
Her family is so heavily invested
It means
I need Crystal Heart to be a huge success.
Not with that awful name.
Listen, Sylvie,
if you can't sell it,
- maybe I should find someone else to
- [door opens]
[footsteps approach]
[in English] Sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, not at all.
Alfie, I had some business
to discuss with you.
Do you recall AMI,
our client that you and Emily used
to announce your relationship?
That was her idea, not mine.
I'm aware you aren't on the best of terms,
but AMI has a few requests
pertaining to their campaign
that substantially features you and Emily.
Well, that's not my problem.
You chose to date someone at work.
[Alfie scoffs]
Well, I'm hardly the first person
to make that mistake. Am I?
I mean,
weren't you two together at some point?
Alfie, don't let your emotions
cloud your judgment.
This could be catastrophic for Emily.
[Antoine] She's right.
Things may have cooled off now,
but you never know
when that spark will reignite.
[inhales] Okay. Au revoir.
I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
["Paris Yeye Girl"
by Bea Parks and Jack Lake playing]
To start,
I congratulate you on being selected
as the French delegation to Eurovision.
- [chuckles] Merci. Thank you.
- Merci.
Congratulations are over.
Now it's time to work.
You have many things to accomplish
before the competition.
You'll need to record the song,
develop a staging concept,
hire a choreographer, dancers.
Do you have a pyrotechnic expert?
[hesitating] A pyro
No.
Start looking now.
- Oh. Right.
- Excuse me. [chuckles]
This all sounds wonderful, but
- What budget do we have to work with?
- Right.
You tell me.
Uh, we have to pay for all of this?
Austerity measures
have left us at a bit of a deficit.
- Ah.
- We set the city on fire for retirement,
but where were the riots in the streets
for the cuts to Eurovision? Hmm?
- [all chuckle hesitantly]
- [Mindy] Oh.
Uh, I don't know.
Madame, that is an excellent question.
If budget is going to be a problem,
you should tell me now.
- No, don't worry. We'll figure it out.
- Yeah.
- What? How?
- [Mindy chuckles]
I can't believe this.
What are we supposed to do?
No help from the government?
What is this, America?
Guys, we can We can do this, okay?
We're gonna have to start busking a lot.
Five, six days a week. Nights too.
Can you start tonight?
I have plans with Nicolas.
Why don't you ask him for the money?
He's not an ATM.
Well, his father is a billionaire, girl.
Just because he's hot doesn't mean
you can't date him for his money.
[snaps fingers] Multitask, bitch.
We don't need his money.
We can do it ourselves.
Yeah. It's okay. I'll think of something.
[upbeat music playing]
[exhales sharply]
[music fades]
[cell phone vibrating]
[gasps softly]
Alfie. Oh, my God, hi.
[Alfie] What the hell, Cooper?
When were you going to tell me my face
is plastered all over the city,
looking at you
like you're not about to ruin my life?
It was a surprise to me too.
[chuckles nervously]
Just get it down.
I wish I could. But [sighs]
Alfie, can we please just talk?
It's literally right outside my gym.
The one place
I get to go to forget about you.
Just make it go away. Please.
[upbeat music playing]
[sighs]
[both grunting]
[Emily] Alfie!
Alfie, we need to talk.
Cooper. What are you
[man grunts]
- Oh, my God, are you okay?
- [groans]
Um, ice! We need ice! Glace.
Oh, my God, no, that's ice cream.
Are you okay?
[breathing heavily]
No, I don't even need that thing.
Well, it'll swell. Here. Let me.
[winces]
You just don't want me
to be all puffy on camera tomorrow.
Is that it?
What?
Sylvie told me about Roland-Garros. AMI?
That's not why I'm here.
Really?
[hesitates, sighs] Just forget about AMI.
That's my mess,
and I will clean it up. Okay?
You're
You're more important
to me than any campaign.
I know that you're upset,
but can we talk about what happened?
[winces, sighs]
- Okay, fine.
- [Emily sighs]
Look, I just
I just need some more time.
Okay?
All right.
You promise
you won't go disappearing on me?
As if you'd let me.
I'm really sorry.
The last thing
I ever wanted was for you to get hurt.
["Visions" by Tample playing]
Think about the freedom ♪
That feeling in the waves came true ♪
Came true ♪
[in French] Welcome to Laurent G à Paris!
This is the place?
Oui. [chuckles]
Selected by Louis de Leon himself.
He knows the owner and got a great deal.
- It's beautiful.
- [mutters]
You're just not seeing it yet.
It's not really a beach club,
more like a yacht club.
But anyway
cabanas
deck chairs,
and sexy waitstaff
in outfits tailored
by a JVMA designer.
Oui.
Louis' spending a lot on this.
What are you trying to say?
I told you what happened
the last time we worked together.
I know he's not happy with me,
I don't want him
to take that out on you.
Don't you think you're overreacting a bit?
Louis de Leon is a billionaire.
This is nothing to him.
I don't know what happened
between you two, but,
I'm sure he hasn't thought about it once.
Maybe you're right.
I don't know if I trust this.
Then come talk to him.
He's invited us to the JVMA suite
at Roland-Garros tomorrow.
I've got a client there too.
I know you're busy.
Just give us ten minutes.
Is that possible?
Please, Sylvie.
- Oui.
- I need your support on this.
All right. I'll come.
["Bolide" playing]
[in English] You could make
extra Eurovision cash with gig work.
Mail delivery or something.
No, the gig economy's a scam, Em.
Never mind the workers, I don't think
those companies make money.
I'd sell feet pics, but
[sighs]something demoralizing
about doing a job you did in high school.
You've really lived a lot of life,
haven't you?
Yeah, and you can't ask Nico?
No, feels weird. [gasps]
Plus, he already gave me
an expensive gift at dinner.
- [Emily gasps]
- I know.
Couture.
"The only rule
of the JVMA suite at the French Open
is that everyone
has to wear a JVMA designer."
"Love, love, Nicolas."
Oh, my God, "love, love"?
Love-love is a tennis reference.
Stop mentally shopping
for a bridesmaid's dress.
- Mmm.
- Speaking of, do you like this?
It's a little more Kate Middleton
than you normally go,
but couture is couture.
Hmm, what are you gonna wear?
That's the least of my worries.
If we don't pull off this campaign,
I think that Julien might leave.
And I have no idea
if Alfie's going to show up.
I can't believe you exhumed
an ex-boyfriend to make a co-worker happy.
And corporate co-dependence is a disease.
He's not my ex.
At least, not yet.
And I am not codependent
- Uh Hmm.
- I'm just very dedicated to my job.
- Take a look. It's called Zepeto.
- What?
It's a virtual reality app, and I use it
to mock up Alfie and me kissing
so that we can be there
without actually having to be there,
just in case he bails.
Aw! Avatar Alfie doesn't look like
he hates you at all.
If only that were in the real world.
Hey, if he stands you up
and you need someone to kiss you,
I can do it.
How much is AMI paying?
Not enough to fund Eurovision.
- Too bad.
- Hmm.
I'd still be willing.
Well, that's very generous.
["Off" by Les Filles
& Christopher playing]
Alfie.
[hesitates] What happened
to your eye? You okay?
You told me you were my friend.
And then you lied right to my face.
[sighs]
I never lied to you.
Once you and Emily were together,
nothing happened between us.
I swear to you.
But what Camille said
Camille didn't know what she was saying.
Nothing has happened
between Emily and I for a long time.
Before you guys met.
You don't have feelings for her?
Look, Alfie,
I really am your friend, and Emily's.
I want you guys to be happy.
I think you should be with her.
Yeah, well, that wasn't my question.
[Gabriel sighs]
How I feel about her is not important.
I won't get in the way. End of discussion.
Excuse me,
I've a restaurant to close.

- Oh.
- Oh, Mindy Chen. Lovely to see you.
Oh, thank you so much for having me.
This suite is gorgeous.
- And so are you. Is that one of ours?
- [Mindy chuckles]
Yes. A gift from
your extremely thoughtful son.
Hmm, impeccable taste all around, Nicolas.
I certainly think so.
Let's get a few family photos
before your brother finds the open bar.
- [Mindy chuckles]
- Come on.
["Fais comme si" by Yan Wagner playing]
- Emily, bonjour.
- Oh.
This seat taken?
[hesitates] Alfie's, uh
Alfie's sitting here. Hopefully.
[indistinct chatter]
Sorry. I'm just I'm a little stressed.
Why don't I get you a drink?
That would be great. Thank you.
Emily? Georges wanted to say hello.
Oh! Hi.
Bonjour, Emily.
Thank you so much for this lovely box.
J'adore le tennis.
- Don't we all.
- [chuckles]
Where is, uh, Alfie?
Traffic. But he'll be here.
Well. Soon, very soon, I hope.
Thanks again for the brilliant idea
of the caméra bisous.
It's right, uh, there. You see?
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, yeah, no,
that's really right up in our faces.
[Georges chuckles] Mmm.
Well, I'll see you tonight
on the big screen.
Psst!
So, I'm not totally sure Alfie's coming.
What?
But it's okay,
because I have a contingency plan.
I used this very cool virtual reality app
to mock up avatars
of Alfie and I kissing in the box.
It's super cute. See?
That's not cute. It's a disaster.
I I mean,
I can talk to Georges. It's my mess.
No, you stay away from my client.
[Julien inhales deeply]
Emily, you have interfered with me
for the last time.
- [upbeat music playing]
- [chair umpire speaking indistinctly]
[in French] She's a lovely girl, Nicolas.
[Nicolas] I know, Papa. I told you.
Well, forgive me for not being able
to focus the last time we met.
She was half-naked at the Cadault store.
Thank God she covered up this time.
Or thank you, I suppose.
- Well done.
- [Mindy clears throat]
[in English] There she is.
We were just talking about you.
[Louis chuckles] Hmm.
[Louis clears throat]
It's not what you think.
Don't lie to me.
It's exactly what I think.
Did you give me this outfit
to make me more palatable to your dad?
No.
Not exactly.
[scoffing] Okay.
He's just He's obsessed
with this wholesome family image,
and there's so much press here.
Look, he made a few rude comments
about what you wore
- at the Cadault launch party
- [scoffs]
and I didn't want that to happen again.
I'm sorry.
In the future, we'll discuss
So, rather than stand up to him,
you decided that I was the problem?
Great.
I can't believe how cheap I feel
in a dress this expensive.
- Mindy, wait.
- [scoffs]
You do not want me to stay
with this much rage and free alcohol.
But in the future,
I'll wear whatever the fuck I want.
["Billet pour Paris"
by Le Couleur playing]
[in French] Ah!
Thank you for an illuminating afternoon.
[tennis ball thwacking]
[audience cheering]
Tiens, regarde.
There he is. Your nemesis.
[Sylvie] I need a little drink.
[indistinct chatter]
Merci.
[upbeat music
playing softly over speakers]
What am I doing?
What's Julien doing in the JVMA box?
You're making the right decision.
I hope so. I owe my career to Sylvie.
She's going to be furious.
Was that loyalty reciprocated?
Sylvie thinks the world
revolves around her.
Ah. Non, non.
You're right. She looks furious.
I'm going to go
[Nicolas clears throat]
- [sighs]
- What's going on?
JVMA has offered me a job.
It's a big step up. And a lot more money.
Well, of course they did.
First they invest in my husband's club
and now this.
They really want to punish me.
Punish you?
Yes, for Pierre.
That's the only reason they would hire me?
No, you're very talented.
Anyone would be lucky to have you.
But this
But that's not why they made me an offer.
It's about you.
In fact, it's all about you, right?
Julien, stop. It's not that.
This is easier than I thought.
I quit.
And good luck with AMI.
Thanks to Emily, it's a disaster.
[cell phone chimes]
Are you ready?
No, I have to go to the AMI suite.
There's a problem.

Okay so, they're playing our ad
and then we're supposed to kiss.
Actually, I was kind of hoping
that we could talk.
Okay. We have, like, 30 seconds.
Look, I overreacted.
I shouldn't have run off like that.
Well, you really don't need to apologize.
But, what Camille said that night
I've always been looking over my shoulder
in this relationship.
Thinking I'm going to lose you, to him.

Bonjour.
Welcome to Vestiaire Collective.
- Name, please.
- Mindy Chen.
I have an appointment.
I was recommended by Emily Cooper.
Excellent. Let's see.
[gasps] It's stunning.
This is couture, no?
Yeah. They don't even
sell it in stores. Um
How much can I get for this?
I'll have to check with my manager,
but I think it's at least €3,000.
- Just one second.

[woman in French] Hello, Ms. Grateau.
This is Noëlle Regnier from Le Monde.
I'm researching a story on Louis de Leon.
He seems to have a "complicated" history
with female subordinates.
I know you've worked with him in the past
and more recently.
And I'd love to talk to you
about your experience
[intriguing music playing]
[music fades]
I don't know
I will call you back as soon as I can.
I don't know.
[in English] Okay.
Okay. Merci.
Oui.
Is everything okay?
That was Camille's mother.
She's freaking out.
- Nobody has seen her since the wedding.
- What?
That was three days ago.
I'm sure someone's seen her.
Emily, you don't understand.
Camille's missing.
Oh, God.
