The New Look

Catherine. There is a softness in your name.

Perhaps you will not be too much trouble.

You can help yourself by talking to me.

And if you don't...

I will hurt you.

And I will not stop to hurt you

until you tell me everything.

Seventy-two hours without rest. Don't you want to sleep?

If you don't speak to me, this will never end.

There was a sixth student.

Tell me their name, or you're going back in the ice.

- I have nothing to say to you! - No...

No, no. You're safe.

You're safe. You're home.

No, it's me.

- It's me. It's Christian. - Please!

So you told them I was suing, and they had nothing to say?

But you need to understand what you have started here.

Started?

I didn't start it. I'm going to ruin them.

- Coco-- - Pierre and Paul violated my contract

when they moved production of Chanel No. 5 to America without my consent.

Behind my back.

That's for a court to decide.

This will be attack and counterattack and--

Goddamn it, René. Are you going to do your job,

or do I have to come back home and do it for you?

I need money.

I have organized a lunch with the wealthiest women in Switzerland.

If they like you, they will pay you a lot of money to dress them.

Hi. Hello.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

You too.

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Hello. How are you?

- Have they not seated you? - No, not yet.

Sorry. Seat us all at my table, please.

Certainly, mademoiselle. And may I have a quick word?

Yes?

Mademoiselle, your account--

I don't have time to discuss this. You have my word. I will pay.

Please now, this is an important lunch. Step aside.

Tell me, how is André faring?

He and Gabrielle arrived in Paris a few days ago. His treatment has begun.

Fingers crossed.

Those two are all I have left.

I love them more than the world itself.

Do you have a photo?

My grandchildren are here.

How lovely.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Their portraits are getting framed.

I must ask, who is that lady?

What lady?

The woman in the far corner staring at you since we sat down.

Coco, darling. Hello.

- She's waving at you. - It's been too long.

Her?

Darling, Coco. I can't believe it.

- Coco! Coco! - Seems insistent.

Yes, she is, isn't she? Yes.

Everyone's watching. You'd better go over and say hello.

Catherine is dehydrated and exhausted.

You need to feed her simple foods, because she most likely has ulcers.

Okay, but there's-- Something else is wrong.

She often doesn't know who I am or where she is--

Yeah, but starvation and malnutrition, you know, the effects are complicated.

We're seeing multiple symptoms in those who have returned from the camps,

and in some cases, there is amnesia caused by trauma.

But her memory will return?

Most likely.

Although it is essential that she'd not be pushed.

Make sure she rests.

Monsieur Dior,

Catherine has suffered greatly.

Starvation can drive people mad.

It is an excruciating pain.

It really damages the body but also the mind, the spirit.

What can I do?

Just give her time.

Take it slowly, please.

I'll check on her again every couple of days.

Limit visitors. Best to have none if you can.

I don't want her to see me worried.

You have your meeting with Vigouroux now.

I can't go. It's impossible.

I can manage here.

No. I would never have made a leap if I'd have known

that she was going to return. It's a miracle.

Yes, it is.

And Monsieur Boussac giving you this chance is also a miracle.

Christian, don't waste it.

Catherine is home now.

That's the important thing.

You should be proud of yourself.

So please go.

- You must do what's good for you. - Yeah.

Go.

- Hello. - Have I reached

the home of Christian Dior?

- Yes. This is the Dior residence. - Has Catherine returned?

- I'm sorry, Catherine? - Yes,

- I would like to speak to her, please. - No, it's not possible.

- Are you sure? - No, I'm sorry.

You wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting out of Madrid.

I mean, those people at the British Embassy,

every one of them, all they cared about was where I'd been, what I knew.

So many questions. It was really quite exhausting.

Sounds tedious.

Tedious? No, it was absolute torture.

Yes, well, you made it out in one piece.

That's all that matters.

Tell me, why are you here?

It's lunchtime.

I would have thought

that London would be a more desirable place for you to visit.

Well, after our little tango in Madrid, I was labeled a traitor, you see.

And my family in England, they all disowned me.

So, now I'm all yours, you know.

Lucky me.

Tell me what it's like here.

All these Swiss people seem so...

rich.

Don't get any ideas, Elsa.

What ideas?

I'm trying to keep a low profile. You should as well.

It's still dangerous.

Is the French government after you?

Lower your voice.

Sorry.

Coco.

If you want me to keep quiet about what I know,

why don't you just make sure I get what you promised me?

There it is. This is about money.

Darling, you said it yourself in Madrid, it's just money.

That's what you told me when Spatz spent it all.

You said, "I can get more." And then--

then you compared my heart and soul to a tablecloth.

I didn't mean that.

Just look after me, yeah?

It could be sealed with a kiss.

Congratulations are definitely in order.

This venture, your house...

I'm not well informed as to what you said to Monsieur Boussac,

but he has never before invested this much money in any one individual.

Well, it's an honor.

Have you told Lelong yet?

He must be beside himself that you're leaving him.

Not yet. But I will.

But you must do it immediately.

Christian, we have to finish the paperwork.

Hire the tailors, the seamstress. Hire the models, the staff.

Find the location. Location is crucial.

Boussac wants something larger than life.

I was thinking something a little more intimate, more personal,

something that expresses my desire to dress a few women exquisitely.

Of course. But it still needs to be on a grand scale.

And Boussac will want something more than a few women dressed.

I'm sure you know that.

But I will need a little time.

- I'm not sure whether you know, but-- - Your sister is back from the horrors.

Yes. It's wonderful, Christian. How is she?

She's adjusting, but it will take a little time.

It's an amazing feat.

Go home and take care of Catherine as best you can.

Thank you, Georges.

But as your business partner,

you should know that Boussac is not a very patient man.

He has his own timetable.

I understand. I am grateful.

Don't be concerned.

Well, I am concerned.

Is it true? She's here?

Yes, she's here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have to see her.

Hervé, she's weak. It's best to wait.

No. I must talk to her.

And you will soon.

Not today. She's too confused.

Did she ask about me?

Did she ask about me?

She's suffering from amnesia.

I'm sorry. I have to see her.

Catherine.

I thought I'd lost you.

It all sounds--

It's so foolish to say anything.

Okay, let's let her rest.

Please.

Just a moment.

She knows I'm here.

I thought I'd lost you.

Look, we can't be on the streets for the next 72 hours.

And don't worry. We'll leave immediately after that.

We will sneak out Jean after it is dark,

and then we will all leave.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Okay?

Take my hand, Catherine.

Tell me the name of the other student,
