A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[classic French song playing]

[baby crying]

It's okay.

Gad, can we just wrap it up, maybe?

Give me just one minute.

He's coming.

[music continues]

[crowd chanting "Gad"]

Oh my God.

[baby cries]

Episode seven

[Adrien singing in English]
Do you love me?

[in French]
Gad is back! Gad is back!

Nothing to fear since Gad is back!

We'll book some shows...

We'll make some dough!

[sings a tune]

[cameras click, reporters yell]

Hey, Baba!

[French song begins]

[crowd yells]

[French music ends]

Hey. Is this your...

tank?

I think it got mixed in with my load.

Okay, I'll just...

put it in there for you.

Look at us, huh?

It's like...

Like the last day of summer camp.

- I've lived here for like eight years.
- Yeah,

I'm gonna miss this place.

Moving in with Maddie, so...

It was time, you know?

Change is in the air, I guess.

I'm not sure if you heard, but...

Gad and I parted ways.

- You're better off.
- And I am.

Yeah. I think you're right on about that.

Looking back, he asked me
to do some things

that were pretty inappropriate.

- Was he making you f*ck him?
- What?

There's no room for that stuff these days.
You know that, right?

There are hotlines you can call.

- It wasn't that...
- You're not alone... Brian.

I let that scumbag f*ck me, too.

I mean not sexually
like in your situation.

- Right, but mine wasn't a sexual...
- He took everything from me.

My girl. My kid.

- Your dignity.
- Yeah.

Who am I kidding? It's on me.

You know? I let Marco take over my life.

Yeah. You know, how do you think
Channing's thing crumbled, right? I mean,

he was stuck in Magic Mike
for two years after they wrapped.

Jenna was like I can't live like this.

I didn't marry Mike. I married Chan.

I don't know how you actors do it.

It's a lonely life.

I guess you got no choice
in the matter, huh?

You're an artist. This life chose you.

A blessing and a curse.

Exactly.

The curse is obvious.

You're a sl*ve to the craft.

No room for relationships.

No steady paycheck.

No idea who you're gonna
have to become tomorrow.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

But the blessing...

Getting to go on auditions,

workshops,

improv classes,

new head shots every month.

It makes it all worth it, doesn't it?

Oh, wow!

Look at the view!

[Gad] Et voilà!

- Penthouse look okay for you?
- [Viv] Well, you know, I mean...

I'm good with it if you're good.

Yeah, it's cool.

Luca, you're gonna be happy. There's
a great gym with all the machines.

You can work out.

- What floor?
- Four.

You go there. No problem.

And Viv, they have an amazing spa.

They're gonna take good care of you.

- The spa is on what floor?
- Also four.

- Okay.
- [camera snaps]

[In French] Gad, can I talk to you
for a minute?

What, now?

Yes. One minute.

- What's up?
- Okay.

When do you think would be a good time
to talk business?

Adrien, I told you, I'm not here for that.

I know, you're here to help Luca.
I get it.

But I'm getting slammed
with calls for you.

If you did a show or two, something...

I'm not here to work...

Baba, it's not for me, it's for your fans.

They need to know
that you're still here...

...that you haven't abandoned them.

- Okay.
- Okay.

I'll do it.

I don't want to, but I'll do it.

But I need you to do something for me.

Whatever you want, Baba.

- Really?
- Of course, whatever you want.

Thank you, Baba. I really appreciate it.

[in English]
Where are they?

- Who?
- Who do you think?

I told you they're... in Paris.

You got a computer?

Yes.

You have access to the Internet?

I do.

Ah, there's a red eye tonight.

LAX to Charles D.

$8,500

But...

only one seat left at this price.

Book it.

- Really?
- What do you got?

Credit card-wise, whip it out.

I don't have anything
with that kind of limit.

But Maddie does.

You must have one of hers, when you're
running errands for her every day.

Yeah, but that's for emergencies only.

Isn't this an emergency?

Unless you're saying a guy losing
his entire family isn't an emergency.

Is that what you're saying?

No, I guess not.

Then whip it out.

Or I'm gonna whip it out for you.

We're still talking
about the credit card, right?

[French music playing]

Wait, stay together!
I want a picture with you guys.

Stay together.

- [cell phone rings]
- [Viv] Yeah, nice shot.

Talk to me, Brian.

Just thought you'd wanna know.

Jason is headed your way.

He's on a mission to win
Viv and Luke back.

I tried to talk him out of it, but...

Don't... Let him come.

There's something different
about him here, right?

Way different. Better.

But different.

I can't put my finger on it.

- Because he's famous here?
- That definitely helps.

But, I think he doesn't even care
that he's famous here.

I think he's more humble about it.

Like Justin Theroux, you know?

Yeah, I see that.

Hey.

Pardon.

I'm sorry.

I need to go on TP&P tomorrow night.

- Huh?
- What is that?

It's a talk show.

TP&P.

It's a big... It's like the Tonight Show.

It's in exchange for a meeting with Luca

and...

Jean...

Paul...

Gaul...

...tier

- What?
- Are you serious?

You're meeting with him.

And... what... when...

- When?
- It's okay!

It's not... I have to get ready!
I have to work my walk.

- You will be ready.
- I can't smile.

Are you okay?

What? Yeah.

- All good?
- No, I'm fine.

Gaultier! I'm great!

[French announcements over loud speaker]

[Adrien] Mr. Alanross.

Welcome to Paris.

No, it's Alan... Ross.
There's a pause in there.

Who... Who are you?

I am Adrien. I'm Gad's manager.

Wait. How'd you know I was here?
What is this?

Nevermind. Evian?

Do you know how I make a living,

Mr. Alanross?

I mean, Mr. Alan... Ross.

I take ten percent off the top

of Gad's earnings.

You managers, man.

Vultures, all of you.

And what do you think his earnings
have been

since he moved to America?

Zero?

And do you know what ten percent
of zero is, Mr. Alan... Ross?

Also zero?

If the big cat doesn't eat,

I don't eat.

Do you understand what I am telling you,
here?

Yeah, Gad's the big cat, right?

And if he can't eat...

Actually, I'm not sure.

You see, Mr. Alan...

Ross,

You and I have a common goal.

You want your lady back, right?

And I want my star back.

Mr. Alan Ross?

- Yes.
- Mr. Gaultier will see you now.

- Hello, Baba!
- Baba!

- Content de te voir!
- Thank you. Quel bonheur.

- Nice to see you.
- Moi aussi.

[speaking in French]

[in English]
Hi, nice to meet you.

A pleasure.

Your grand fils.

- Yes!
- Oh là là!

Le fiston.

Thank you so much!

S'il vous plaît.

- You can sit.
- Merci.

Okay.

Nice nose, like a French nose.

Attitude. Elegant.

That's nice.

Nice cheeks.

Also underwear. Perfect.

And there's the chest.

The chest. Did you...

Did you did something for your chest
or it's natural one?

No, sir. 15 cc's.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Bah, c'est bien. Voilà.

That's quite nice.

Do you know how to walk?

- Yeah.
- If you could stand up and walk, you know.

Okay? So, you know what?

You will go there to the door
and after you come back to me.

Make it your way. Okay?

Okay.

Good.

Il est décidé.

Énergie.

Okay. Very nice.

Not so relaxed. A little dynamic.

Bon... Énergie...

...can improve a little. Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, good.

- Have you done runway before?
- Yeah.

But you never did a big show.
like a show, I mean like with...



With all the girls,
like Gigi and Cara Delevingne.

And all the peoples, VIP, and journalists,
big journalists that are there?

No, I guess I haven't.

But I know I can do it.

It's... It's what I was born to do.

[Jean Paul] Um...

Could you go closer each one?

Yes. Cheek to cheek.

Yeah.

[speaking French]

[in English]
Yes. Go more closer. Closer.

That's right!

Now, nose to nose.

- Really?
- Definitely. Yes.

- Yeah?
- Yes!

Nose to nose.

Closer.

More closer. Yes.

Okay, thank you. That's good.

Okay. I took you.

- Yes! Definitely.
- Really?

You are the best, Baba.

It should be the show
of the son and the father.

What is it?

It will be the fashion show

with the catwalk.
And you will walk together.

[speaking French]

[in English]
It's his moment.

The light.
I want the light to be on Luca, not on me.

Oui, mais j'ai I'impression que...

I think that will be maybe the contrary.
It will... It will be him that...

Yeah, on the contrary. You know? Come on!

- I don't know, Jean Paul.
- Yeah.

You know what? I can...

Okay. If... I mean. You know, I...

Why not? It's... Let's...
Okay, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Parfait! Très content.

So, we will have to see again.
We will see for the rendezvous.

For the fitting, for after, maybe some...

Did that really just happen?

Am I really walking
for Jean Paul Gaultier?

Yeah, you are. And apparently, I am too.

That's the...

And you're sure you're okay with that?

Yeah. It's gonna be fun anyways.

We'll have fun with it.

- You know...
- What do you mean?

Un selfie?

Oui.

- Au revoir.
- Merci.

Yeah, I mean we'll give them a good show.

No, this isn't about them. Or having fun.

This is about realizing
Jean Paul's vision.

I know, but...

You know, I'm a comedian.

- They expect Gad to be like...
- No, but Gad... Gad can't.

What do you mean not even a little...

No. None of that. Do you understand?

Okay.

- Okay.
- No.

Do you...

understand that?

Okay.

You wanna be under the cart?

Yes. It's more dramatic, you see?

And have the tablecloth hang down
so he's hidden

and at the right time
he will pop out

and propose.

You've done this kind of thing before?

No. Not under the cart, no.

- We do the ring in a cake with roses.
- Doesn't matter.

You cannot go wrong with the cart.
This is perfect.

What about Gad and Luke?

My guy is watching them. He's fine.
You have plenty of time, Baba.

- Plenty of time.
- Okay.

Okay, let's do it.

- Good. Wait a minute.
- Let's go.

I have something here that...

This was my mother's, you see?

She gave it to me
when she took her last breath.

- It was a death wish...
- Okay, thanks, man.

Just...

- Yeah.
- I got it. I got...

You're too tall.

Yeah. It's a little tight.

- Get the...
- Tablecloth..

- [Jason] My head.
- Ready? Look at that.

[Jason] Yeah. I'm good.

I'll just get my knee to... unlock.

[phone buzzing]

[Jason] God damn phone.

[voicemail greeting]
...Jason Alan Ross.

Hey, Jason. Adrien here

You're probably under the cart right now.

Just calling to tell you to abort.
The plan changed.

Gad and Luca are on the way up.

They came back early, what can I say?

Anyway, if you get this,
please give me a call back.

Otherwise...

Good luck, my friend.

[Viv shrieks]

- I am so proud of you!
- Thank you, mom.

But now Gad deserves the credit.

- He really came through.
- No, it's nothing.

[knock on door]

- He's calm.
- He's so happy!

Thank you.

- What's that?
- Wow! Who sent this?

- [Gad] Bonsoir.
- [Viv] Oh my God!

- Bonsoir. You said bonsoir?
- Yeah.

- Bonsoir
- Merci.

- Enjoy.
- Merci.

- Thank you.
- Merci.

- Oh my God.
- What?

It's from Jason.

What?

"Congratulations on the Gaultier show."

Oh, this is so sad.

f*cking loser.

Oh, wow.

f*ck it. I'm gonna go lift.

Good.

Use it as fuel, sweetheart!

Bravo!

Well...

I mean, is it terrible if we drink
his champagne?

- Really? You wanna...
- Yeah!

You know what? I'm sure I'm paying for it
somehow.

- Probably.
- It's a good one, by the way.

- Santé.
- Santé.

Yum.

Thank you for saving me from him.

- Of course.
- It's really...

It's really sexy.

Really?

Yeah.

It's...

Okay.

Oh, wait. But are you totally committed
to this?

- Yeah?
- Yes.

I am totally committed to this.

Like no matter what?

No matter what!

[Viv and Gad grunting and groaning]

Okay, good.

It's like... I think I might be pregnant.

What?

See, I knew it. You're scared.

No, I'm not at all. It's a... No.

Okay. Good.

Okay.

It's probably Jason's anyway.

[cheers and applause]

[in French] Thank you for joining us!

Tonight, we're starting off strong.
His first show back.

He came back to Paris just for us.

Our first guest: Gad Elmaleh!

[crowd]
Elmaleh! Elmaleh!

Thank you, Baba.
How great to see him again!

Thank you!

How wonderful.

Such a warm welcome, thank you.

So, I know you're back from Los Angeles.

Yeah, I just got back to Paris
after spending a while in Los Angeles...

...to be closer to my son.
That's most important to me.

[audience awws and claps]

I heard he's a model.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

[audience catcalls]

Oh, he's good-looking.

You must be proud.

Yeah...

You're proud of all this?

Yeah, but...

But, really, it's...

It's actually serious work.

In fact, we're doing something...

We're doing something together...

a father-son fashion show.

[laughing]

That's a joke, right?

No, it's not a joke, it's real.

The two of you are going to walk
next to each other, like that?

- It's realy not a joke?
- No.

So, father-son, you're gonna
catwalk together...

- Right, we'll walk...
- Do the catwalk...

Look, here comes Daddy!

Daddy's voguing!

You're really going to model?

You know how to model?

You'll see...

In a few days.

We're going to see right now.

[audience]
The catwalk!

You're going to see Gad catwalk.

Gad.

They're waiting.
Can you do a little walk for us?

Don't you want him to catwalk?

The catwalk!

A quick little turn.

Okay, I'll do it. It's very simple.

I'll give you a little taste.

...it's about walking straight.

[in English]
Don't take it personally, kid.

That's what he does.

A leopard cannot change its spots,
you know.

[host, in French]
Stay with us, my dear.

Gad Elmaleh! Stay with us after this,
we'll be back in a minute...

...we need to bring in some dough,
time to go to commercial.

We'll be right back, my darlings.

[pounding on cart]

[Jason, in English]
Hello?

Hello. I'm under here.

Someone help, please!

I'm stuck.

Sir, are you okay?

I've been better.

Help me out, will you?

[groans] Careful.

Okay.

Okay.

[groaning in pain]

Oh, thank you.

So...

How did it go?

How do you think it went?

He f*cked her, Michel.

Right on top of this cart.

Who did?

- Gad did.
- The comedian?

I guess you could call him that.

But I don't find him funny at all.

He's a specific taste.

Yeah.

Now she may be pregnant with his kid.

Because it certainly isn't mine.

Just ask the guy who paid me
to jerk off in front of him.

I'm gonna wheel the cart back now.

[talk show theme playing]

Bravo.

- Ben voilà.
- Merci.

- How could you?
- What?

Make fun of modeling like that.

Baba, I was just having fun.

And you know what, by the way,
it's great for the show.

It's good publicity.
It's good for you.

No! It's good for you.

And that's all you care about.

It's all you've ever cared about.

- Luca.
- I guess the joke's on me, huh?

- No.
- Cause I fell for it.

- Luca.
- You're out.

- What?
- Of Gaultier.

Don't bother coming.

I refuse to share the stage with someone
who doesn't respect the craft.

Luca.

[Luke] Mom!

- Let's move!
- Okay.

What?

[stagehand] Cinq.

Quatre.

Trois.

Deux.

[muted sound of applause]

[host] Gad Elmaleh!
